Welcome to Beacon: Next 2.0

Fight!

“You're not going to get far, blue bastard!” Morgan yelled, switching Macha into shield mode and throwing it at the scoundrel in an attempt to knock him out.

Party!

“Yeah…” Morgan said, trying to keep her attention on the slice of cake she was eating, rather than on her mother's noticeable baby bump. She knew it was irrational, getting irritated over a baby who's only crime was being her parents' first biological kid, but she still did. And her mom deserved a happy birthday, so she was trying to get her mind off of her issues.

Tempestas 29

Miss Rayfer was eating a chocolate when she heard Violet call for her. ( Good lord, she asks so many questions)

She took out a handkerchief and wiped the chocolate off her mouth before responding with a mostly straight face. " Hello there, Miss Pallus. I'm not really that well-versed in the mentality of the Grimm... but my mentor had a few theories. They could be an opposite force in the universe towards the humans and faunus."

Dia gestured with her right hand to her right. "A force of negativity", then with her other hand to her left. " while we are a force of positivity. Two opposite forces that can never be at peace with each other. I'm not sure if I should believe him..."

Tempestas 23rd

The chair's arms were frozen to the ground, but Mikey quickly opened up a portal in front of himself to prevent any other attacks from reaching him. Almost all the students would find their attacks to simply pass though that portal, then get redirected right back at them using another portal. Duncan, however, happened to attack him at a blind spot, knocking the chair off balance a bit with his punch and slightly damaging it. Scarlet's chain would also connect and pull the chair to the ground hard, damaging it more to the point where a small piece of the armoring of the chair broke off. Mikey then managed to free the arms of the chair from the ice, then turned around and launched the fists of the chair at both Duncan and Scarlet in retaliation.

Iris moved her drone to fire its Breakbeat beam at the lazy son of a bitch while his back was turned.

Tempestas 29th

Iris then looked at her girlfriend with concern, seeing that something was wrong by the look on her face. "S-something wrong, Morgan...?", she kindly asked.

Tempestas 29

"What's wrong, baby girl?" Carol Krigsvart had noticed the look on her daughter's face, a slight frown forming on her own.

The woman looked up from posting pictures on her Scroll to look at Morgan.

"Is it your brother's terrible singing? Honestly, I don't know where he got that. And I think Selene..."

A yelp and a thud from somewhere.

"....Has something to say about it."

Carol smirked teasingly. "Or do you want some alone time with your pretty girlfriend?"

Meanwhile, the door to the house was smashed open suddenly and a young woman in her early twenties sauntered in like she owned the place. She was a very striking girl, with wild silvery-white hair that was unkempt and went down to her knees. Her scarlet eyes sparkled with something like "I-don't-care-about-anything" confidence. She was dressed in travelling clothes, carried a large backpack and held a baseball bat.

The woman strode towards Marvin and Scarlet...and immediately put the Jade boy into an affectionate headlock.

"Snowflaaaaake! Did you miss me?! I was in the area, so I dropped by!"

Fight!

“How the—“ Morgan yelled before noticing that the shield was coming right at her. Quickly, she moved to the side and punched away Macha with Nemain. She even used her Semblance in that punch to aim it at the wall and make it ricochet towards Mikey.

Party!

“What?” Morgan said. “Mom, Iris, nothing's wrong! This cake is just that good!” To try to prove her point, she stuffed her face some more.

Tempestas 29th

Iris blushed a little upon hearing Carol suggesting a bit of private time with Morgan, but nevertheless did not buy Morgan's claims that all was fine.

"M-Morgan...please tell me w-what's really going on...w-why do you look u-upset?", Iris asked as she stared right at Morgan.

Party

"Get lost Chris. Your singing is ruining the mood." Selene said, removing the grappling hook from Chris's leg and wrapping it around her hand and walking away.

Boss fight

Scarlet lowered her stance and held out her hands when she saw the arm headed for her. It still smashed her into the wall, leaving a massive impact dent but the biker had caught the projectile nonetheless. The red head lifted her face and grinned at the floating boy. "Why don't you..." She leaped, landing and launching off the wall towards the blue-haired boy. "...try some of you own Medicine!!!" before launching the fist towards him, her chain attached to the projectile.

Party

Scarlet leaned down to look her partner in the eye, grinning evilly. "Snowflake. So tell me, Lily. Whose my long-lost sister here?"

Halle cracked open Zarathustra in her off-brand smile again. She had no idea who this person was. She was sort of frustrated that all attempts at interrogation had ended before they began. Okay, also because she was losing out on it to a human. Probably a human. Could just be a passing Faunus.

"Oh, hello ma'am, it's nice to meet you." She held out her hand to shake, but quickly self-corrected it into a fist for bumping. "I'm Halle. Wulfen. How do you know Marvin?"

Fight

Dia was breathing heavily, rather tired. It wasn't a good time to use her Aura now. But she still had her dust...

Dia was pretty surprised when she heard the others' reaction to her comment to use lethal force. (How could they even choose to spare that monster?)

The blonde haired girl levitated some crystal blades out of her bag auras she transformed Corona into a chakram. She snapped the blades onto the Chakram, and readied it.

Miss Rayfer then threw Corona to the right, controlling it with a small bit of her remaining aura so that it would fly around to cut off the machine's right arm at the joints... from behind.

" Iris... I might need some help..." she weakly muttered. Her expression was more tired than crazed by now.

Party Time

Marvin grimaced as the arm wrapped around him and he looked up at the two. "Halle? Red? Meet my half-sister, Elaine. On my dad's side." He said with a grin. "So you're using a bat now? Really? Dust you need to get a better weapon, at least Red over her is cool and uses chains, Halle...is her own weapon." Speaking of the robot, Marvin turned his head to her and smiled. "Hey Halle, sorry about that, yeah, Aquarium was somewhat of a bust. I enjoyed myself, got to fry a giant fish. How were things back here, you had to do some maintenance?"

Fite

Pleased with his strike hitting home, Duncan used his semblance to push himself away from the arm swinging at him and towards Mikey feet first. Once in range, the grappler would try to wrap his feet around the blue bastard's head and whip him out of his chair as hard as he could with an Endgame enhanced hurricanrana◊.

"Not exactly." Halle snapped Zarathustra shut. Half-sister. She relaxed a little, not that there were muscles to tense in frustration or anything else that would make that relaxation visible.

"Zarathustra's just a weapon integrated into my body, like my father's prosthetics." She pulled her it off her shoulders and held it in her hands. "Thirty feet of strong cable, in total. Powerful flail, also useful when people think they need a head to look at." She let go of the weapon and it quickly reeled back onto her shoulders with a violent whirr. "I did have to do some maintenance though, yeah. You missed one hell of a show, Marvin."

Tempestas 23: Fight

Well, that slowed him down. As her friends distracted the blue idiot, Lena moved herself behind the chair.

Semblance still flared so she wouldn't be blindsided, the princess ran then jumped. Victoria's speartip was aimed at the back part of the machine. Tear the wires and bits to shreds, and they'll see what this guy can do without his weapons.

Tempestas 29

Carol frowned, before poking her daughter's forehead with a finger. "Oy, Morgan, haven't I told you not to lie to your parents?"

Her face softened. "....It's about the baby, isn't it?"

Chris groaned on the floor. "Whyyyy. You're just jealous of my fabulous voice!"

Elaine gave her brother a smack on the back, laughing. "Please, do you really think the bat is my only weapon? Get good, Snowflake!"

She grinned at Scarlet and Halle, returning the robot girl's fistbump and looking Scarlet over appreciatively.

"Yeah, I'm his older, hotter sister. Call me El."

"Wulfren, huh? Fancy tech you got there."

Elaine started poking Halle's body randomly. Her hands fiddled all over her, twisting, poking, pushing buttons...

"I'll "get good" when you beat me in a fight for once in your life, El." He replied with a slap to her back as well.

Party Pooper

Damn it, Morgan thought as she put the plate down. Why can't I hide anything from Mom?

“…I'm sorry, Mom,” Morgan said. “I didn't want to ruin your birthday for you. And I know why you're excited about the kid, and I feel bad about being all irritated about this, but… but…”

She sighed. “Well, for the longest time, it's just been you, me, Chris and Dad, and now a ton of stuff is changing...”

Party

"B-baby?", Iris asked before she noticed how big Carol was. "T-that's good news, but..."

Then she heard Morgan speak.

"...y-you think the baby w-would...replace you? Is t-that why you're upset...?", Iris asked Morgan with great concern.

Amethyst waved at her new teammates. Her team structure had been pretty heavily impacted by the restructuring but she was going to try her best to make new friends.

"Glad to have you on the team Halle. And what brings you here Suzune?" Amethyst asked.

Tempestas 29 Party and Shit

Johann took a deep breathe before patting Relena's head

"You don't need to make excuses sis. I'm not here to get an apology out of you or scolding you in public. No point to humiliate you in the middle of a social event. We'll talk about it in private alright?"

The prince then inspected his surroundings. Trying to find what other people were here since he immediately focused on Lena.

"Elaine's here?" He said and waved to her before walking closer.

"Remember. We'll talk about it in private" he turned to Lena before returning to his cousin.

"Hey Elaine what's up? Haven't seen you in years!" He said with a big grin on his face.

Oh Dear

Oh. Elaine. That girl.

Raggy decided to not engage her further than it was necessary - she already received plenty of attention and frankly, he was probably not ready for the teasing he would receive from Lena's family. She seemed to have just enough fun with Marvin, Scarlet and Halle.

...with Selene just doing her own thing somewhere else it left him kind of a fifth wheel, so to say. Jo moved over to converse with his family, leaving Lena on her own, so that seemed like a good idea.

...then again, she might just want an alone time. Or to talk with someone else. Can't hog her all to myself.

...

Raggy grunted, moving out of sight and out of mind. This was a bad time to get hit with bad, self-depreciating thoughts. After a moment of randomly choosing around the people he decided to shift to one person he hasn't seen in a while: Yan.

He and his brother disappeared shortly after Initiation, but only the former returned back to Beacon. Could as well talk to him.

"Hey." He greeted with a small smile, approaching Yan. "Mind if I bother you with some talk?"

"Hm?"

Yan looked up, snapping off melted block chocolate as he ate, and after seeing that it was Raggy, he returned to staring at the wall.

"Oh, sure," he said, distractedly giving an ambiguous answer.

Tempestas 29

Carol's frown deepened...and then she reached over to hug her daughter, kissing Morgan on the forehead.

She pulled back and smiled. "Baby girl, Morgan, don't worry. I know what you feel, hon, I'm adopted too, remember? The baby...he isn't going to replace you or change our relationship or anything. Be happy, you're going to be a big sister. You'll get to do all sorts of things with him. Besides, Morgan, you'll always be my daughter, okay? That's never going to change."

Elaine mock-pouted before laughing at Marvin. "The only reason I haven't won, is because we haven't fought at all. I freely admit that I'm not the best, but you, Snowflake? I can take you."

At that moment, another familiar face distracted Elaine. "Johann? Sparky! I thought you were abroad!"

Elaine grinned and slapped Jo on the back.

Meanwhile, Lena was confused. Jo...didn't even yell at her a little. C-could it be? Her big brother was mature now? Wow, she didn't know how to take that.

She wandered absently, thinking, and then smashed into someone. Or, rather, two people. Raggy and Yan.

"Ah, shizniiit!"

"Please don't push those switches, Elaine." Halle said as various vents and flaps opened and closed on her body. "Some of those are private, and you'll—"

Halle's chest split down the middle and popped open, revealing the solar panels on the inside, wired into a solar cell sitting in the middle of a nest of wires. This was the closest Halle could come to a wardrobe malfunction. The robot remained motionless and silent for a moment.

"I mean this honestly when I ask you, because I am genuinely curious..." Halle said, keeping her voice measured. "How would you feel if I reached over and tore your top down, Elaine?"

"...Thanks Mom," Morgan said, feeling better after the talk. "And sorry about that. You should be having fun today..."

Tempestas 29:Family... Reunion???

"Ouch" Johann said, rose his eyebrows and tried to reach for the impact area. "You sure don't change do you?" He said and folded his arms. "I've been here since the start of this year, next place was too dangerous to take me or something because I got some minor injuries and I needed to be in top condition to be there. So Alice found out about it and was like "YOUNG MAN YOU NEED TO BE PUNISHED AND TAUGHT RESPONSIBILITIES because apparently being in a hunting school and giving away four years of my life for that is the same being as "being taught responsibility" to her, go figure. I'm here now"

"And Halle has a good point, Elaine don't go into people's freakin' privates, even if they're not... Genitals, have some dignity" He said, showing a frown on his face and a mildly dissapointed expression.

"Oh also, I'm Lena's team leader now"
