Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Well the animated series was phenomenal though in the reboot it puzzles me, Johnny Storm, The Human Torch, is cast as a black guy (nothing wrong with that of course) while the Sue Storm, The Invisible Woman is cast white, they're supposed to be siblings. Someone want to explain this one to me?

Yes you are Fantastic 4... what happened to them anyway.

@LokiLeo789

They made two truly awful movies and if that wasn't bad enough they're creating a reboot that looks a hundred times worse.

Have you ever been in trouble before, the only thing you can think about in the principles office is how bad the punishments could get, how devastating the worst case scenario is. That is what Geni's doinng right now, he'll likely just get a talking to by Ozpin and that's about it.

Sapphire Rode - Armoury

Things were starting to reel further and further out of control, starting with Ivan's scum of the earth speech. It might be natural to think the White Fang evil or to despise there methods but what Ivan said went way way beyond that. By the end of it Sapphire was almost sure she saw him foaming at the mouth. "Come on Ivy, we both know that isn't even close to the truth. You don't really care about getting rid of the Grimm, you just want to make sure that your face ends up on the front page of every newspaper went it actually happens. Besides there is a big difference between the actions an entire group has taken and the actions the the individual members have, just because the White Fang has done some horrible stuff doesn't mean that Geni is just as willing to commit murder."

Others began to raise opinions, Amy considering that Ivan was a loudmouth jerk and it didn't matter anyways, Sapphire caught something about her failing her entrance exam but decided that was a conversation for another time. Gren and Oswald against violence in general and then there was Daniel. As he talked about humans being capable of any sort of cruelty the White Fang could dish out he walked over to Ivan and forced him back into his seat. Sapphire knew from the moment those two connected they were about nine seconds away from a physical fight. This was only confirmed as seconds later Geni let out a large number of harsh words before he hoped up on the desk intending to attack.

Sapphire knew if she wanted to have any hope of gaining some sort of control over this situation she needed to be by Geni's side. Sapphire quickly snatched her weapons up before hopping lightly onto Geni's desk, as she jumped from desk to desk following Geni's movements Sapphire assembled her weapons into a polearm. Geni was too blinded by rage to see the scene unfold in front of him but Sapphire saw clearly enough Mokuren move into position between Geni and his target. Sapphire thought for a moment that she must be crazy before remembering what she had done to Diamond in the sparring matches. She had some sort of force field or redirection semblance. Neither of which would be pleasant to hit full on. Sapphire didn't have time to think. She had to act now or someone was going to lose there head. Sapphire altered her momentum from running into a slide. She managed to keep her torso straight avoiding any unnecessary pressure on her rib. Sapphire used her weapon as a break pushing herself to her feet between Geni's blade and Mokuren's head. It wasn't that she particularly like the girl but Geni would not fair well in the aftermath if he actually hurt someone. Sapphire polearm was raised to protect Mokuren but it turned out that was unnecessary.

In a split second everything changed. Ivan despite being arrogant and egotistical was not low enough to allow someone else to take a blow for him. Something happened, something in mid attack that caused Geni's blade to swing off course headed straight for Indigo.

Sapphire ready a moment before to protect Geni from Mokuren's semblance didn't have time to switch tactics, the blade was headed straight for Indigo's head and her miscalculation meant there was nothing she could do to stop it.

Luckily it seemed she'd not been the only one with designs on stopping Geni's attack before it happened. Amy was there as well, while she might not have been faster than Sapphire she knew exactly where the target was, a shield assembled itself from her metal sleeves stopping the blade midstrike.

Sapphire cursed herself for not being more observant and at the same time was thankful that someone else took that blow, that kind of force would not have been friendly on her broken rib. Geni seemed to have calmed well enough to realize exactly what would have happened had his attack met its mark. He murmured an apology before running from the classroom. That wouldn't end well Sapphire could already tell that. At a time like this being on his own wasn't something that would be good for Geni, he'd stew in his own thoughts and more than likely he'd do something stupid sooner rather than later. "If you don't mind Professor," Sapphire said nodding at Chatsworth. "Someone's gotta go after him."

Sapphire exited the class running after Geni. She found him in a nearby corridor. "Lionheart, wait up." She was breathing hard, harder than she should have for that short a run. Each breath brought a stab of pain as her muscles upset her damaged rib. There had to be some sort of quick fix for that, she couldn't be taking it that easy for another two weeks.

Finally she caught up to him. "Where do you think your going?" She asked looking at his face. He looked worse for wear by a lot, there wasn't a trace of laughter or his usual trickster persona.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Yes but Sapphire likes being in the right a lot more than she fears Ivan. This is going to get violent, I'm just waiting for Geni's next post before I put another one up.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Really cause if I was the Professor I'd be like "Thank the stars someone shut him up, ten points to team Swansong."

I wanna shoot him, can I please shoot him?

Sapphire Rode - Armoury

Satisfied with herself Sapphire returned to her seat to listen to the teacher talk about dust. Sapphire had some limited experience with raw dust. It packed a much larger punch compared to dust ammunition but it was also a lot more unstable. Her father had tried to teach her how to use it raw, it was a deadly weapon in the hands of one who could master it. Sapphire had a good number of burn marks on her back to prove that she wasn't one of the people capable of such a skill. The dust ammunition had done well enough for her though she'd always been curious to know if she could maximize her weapons use of dust without greatly increasing the risk to herself.

Geni took a seat on the opposite side of Amy from Sapphire, she didn't know why but she sort of liked him. He had an energy about himself that she couldn't help but admire, a magnetic personality so to speak. It wasn't something she'd ever really mastered, you wanted a Grimm dead from forty yards she could do it just fine, sky driving off Beacon cliffs she'd be thrilled, but conversation? Non-violent, non-argumentative conversation. That was a prospect that scared her more than she liked to admit. She'd been taught to fight, not to talk.

As Sapphire tuned into those around her she hear whispers about Geni, White Fang, Terrorist, Murderer, Thief. She'd heard what Geni had let slip earlier and logically there was only one organization beginning with the word White where you could learn to forge weapons. It didn't trouble Sapphire in fact she thought it said something about Geni's character. The White Fang had the right ideas, things were not right in the social and political worlds but they weren't going about it the right way, the only thing violence would accomplish was ensuring that humans never trusted faunus again. They also had some of the top notch fighters. One of the only people who had ever beaten her father in a one on one fight had been a member of the White Fang. If Geni could cut it in that organization then he was more than qualified to attend Beacon. Sapphire couldn't imagine that line of thinking would be popular with most people but then again it had been a very long time since she'd cared.

Apparently though Geni did. It couldn't have been easy, likely these whispers had followed Geni around ever since he'd left the White Fang. Watching from the sidelines it was easy for her to see the logic of both sides and to know that nothing anyone said about Geni should make a difference to him but then she wasn't in the conflict and she had her natural defense of apathy and indifference, when someone wanted to make you angry the worst thing they could see was no reaction at all.

Sapphire heard Geni's pencil snap and for a moment it was like all the sound in the room had given way to that noise. Geni exploded, challenging Ivan who'd been the chief one whispering and staring daggers at Geni since his accidental mention of the organization. Sapphire could see a fight about to erupt and knew she needed to act soon. Geni, not usually quick to anger was right now riled up as much as she'd ever seen him, which admittedly wasn't long but this was clearly not his usually self. Then of course there was Ivan who'd always be up for a fight and was stupid enough to pick one in the middle of Armoury Class.

"Lionheart... Geni stop." Sapphire said standing up, she may not have been good with people but she could handle herself in a crisis. "He's not worth it." She said moving around Amy just in case Geni decided to do something rash. "He's pigheaded and probably hasn't wanted for anything in his life, he wouldn't understand what it means to fight for something you believe in. If you could make it in the White Fang why should Beacon be such a big step? If anything you have more experience than we do. You're a good fighter and unlike Ivan you care about people. His word shouldn't mean any more than a stranger on the street." Okay she was mostly bullshiting, Sapphire didn't actually know enough about either Geni or Ivan to make any of what she said true but she considered herself a fair judge of someone's character if nothing else. She stepped a little closer so only Geni could hear what she said, and possibly Amy too if she was listening. "If you want to kick his ass I'll back your play." Sapphire stepped away from him with a little smile nodding, it was his move.
