DanganRWBY (Chapter 0) - The Killing Game

The students are given new rules.

(Yeah, it’s about time, I know.) (Anyway, the prologue is finally done! Now we can get on to chapter 1! And the first murder...*evil laughter*)

If you have any questions and/or reactions for this fic, send it in!

“...Okay, that’s definitely not a real Beowolf.” Weiss said with a raised eyebrow.

A few things had happened when Beochi revealed himself; the majority of the students looked at the thing with confusion, Ruby had stepped back a little, Velvet had squealed in shock and ran behind Yatsuhashi, and Weiss had made that comment.

“Zip it, ice queen!” Beochi said in that grating voice again, pointing an annoyed finger at Weiss.

“Where did that thing even COME from!?” Velvet asked, shivering slightly while starting to move back from behind her teammate.

“Behind that desk, apparently.” Emerald answered. “Anyway, Weiss has a point, that can’t be a real Beowolf.”

“What makes you so sure?” Yatsuhashi asked, while safely guiding Velvet back to her original position.

“It’s tiny.”

“Good point.”

Ruby was looking at Beochi, dumbfounded, with her legs rooted to the spot.

Jaune’s gaze narrowed on him. “...What...Exactly are we looking at?”

Ruby shook her head. “Whatever it is, I don’t like it...”

“ANYWAY!” Beochi shouted, causing everyone to stop talking and turn back over to him.

“Thank you.” He continued. “Anyway, welcome back to Beacon Academy!”

Jaune sighed. “We never LEFT Beacon Academy.

“HEY! Don’t back-sass ME, blondie!”

Jaune tutted and rolled his eyes.

“Can you please just get to the point?” Ruby asked.

“Patience, please!” Beochi continued. “I’m getting to that!”

“Get to it quicker.” Jaune said bluntly.

“WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT BACK-SASS!?!?”

“Jaune, I don’t think it’s a good idea to rile that thing up…!” Ruby whispered.

“Okay, okay.” Jaune put his hands up a little in mock surrender. “Fine.”

“Thank you, miss Rose!” Beochi said. “You seemed to be the only thing to shut him up!”

Ruby froze.

Beochi blinked. “...What, was it something I said?”

Ruby turned around, her wide eyes fixed on him.

“Say...” She stuttered. “...Say that again.”

“I was only saying thank you...Ruby.” He put extra emphasis on the word “Ruby”.

Ruby flinched back a little. “...How...Do you know my name?”

“Oh, COME ON!” Beochi threw his hands up and sighed. “If I didn’t know who all you freaks were, how would I have put your names on those letters!?”

There was an eerie silence.

“...What? What did I say this time!?”

“Wait,” Sun started. “So what you’re getting at is, you know who ALL of us are?”

Beochi nodded. “Right you are!”

“...Okay, this is definitely too creepy to be the professor.”

“I already pointed that out earlier, Sun.” Fox said.

“Yeah, yeah. Anyway, as you were saying?”

“Thank you!” Beochi said. “Good to know that there actually are some polite people here! In fact,” he clicked his fingers. “Why not have something to help with that?”

Ruby suddenly felt something buzz in her pocket. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her scroll, which was vibrating. She opened it up.

The first thing she noticed was that the scroll’s layout was completely different.

The menu it was on had a blue background with a few applications, but only four were available; “Profile”, “Messages”, “Map” and “Regulations”. The Regulations app was flashing, so thinking that it was the right way to go, she tapped it.

The scroll moved to a dark blue menu with white text across it. The text read:

“Academy Regulations:

1. Students may only reside inside the school campus.

2. Nighttime is between 10pm and 7am, and some areas are off limits during this period.

3. Accessing off limits and locked areas is strictly prohibited, but some locked areas may be eventually unlocked.

4. Violence against headmaster Beochi is strictly prohibited, as is the destruction of surveillance cameras.

7. The headmaster can add additional regulations to this list at any time.”

“As you can see,” Beochi continued with a smirk. “I’ve given you a list of rules to follow during your time here!”

Ruby looked up from her scroll uneasily. A lot of these rules didn’t sit right with her. Looking around, she noticed the others were all checking their scrolls. (except for Fox, who had quickly whispered something to Coco, who whispered something else back to him.)

“So, we aren’t allowed to leave?” Yang asked. “Like...At all?”

“Well, the area you’re allowed to stay in extends to part of the area outside the campus, and there are some buildings around the campus area. You’ll see what I mean if you go outside later.”

“What about rules 5 and 6?” Sage asked.

“Huh?”

He pointed towards the text on his scroll. “The text has been encrypted and is basically unreadable. Are you going to reveal what it’s supposed to say?”

“Oh...” Beochi’s smirk grew wider. “I’ll get to that in a second. Those two rules are the most important rules on this list.”

Ruby shuddered. She didn’t know whether it was the look in Beochi’s eyes or the way he said it, but whatever it was, it gave her an even worse feeling than before.

“And another thing,” Jaune said, his unusually cold voice cutting through the air.

“What is it, Blondie?”

“The way these rules refer to you.” His eyes narrowed. “Headmaster Beochi.”

The room suddenly went silent.

“Oh, of course!” Beochi said, jumping upwards. “I forgot to fill you in on that part.” He cleared his throat, but it sounded a little more like a robotic growl. “The professor isn’t available, so I am acting as your headmaster during your time here at Beacon!”

An eerie silence swept across the room, as some of the students had turned nervously to each other.

Jaune simply raised an eyebrow. “...You cannot be serious.”

“Why, do you object?”

“I mean, really. You? The headmaster? Please.”

“What did I say about back-sass, Blondie!?”

“Don’t call me ‘Blondie’.”

“I CAN CALL YOU WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT!”

“Tch...”

Ruby stared at the scene in front of her in disbelief.

This thing’s acting as our headmaster? What the heck’s going on!?

“Anyway!” Beochi continued, snapping the group back to attention. “As the Timelord mentioned earlier, I haven’t filled you in on two of the rules on this list. So allow me to do that now~!” He cleared his throat again. “As I pointed out to Barbie Doll a few minutes ago, you aren’t allowed to leave. But...There is an exception to that rule. You can leave...” He smiled nastily. “But you just have to do one teeny tiny thing...”

Almost as soon as Beochi had said that, a deathly chill swept over the room.

Whatever he had to say couldn’t be good.

An evil grin erupted across the thing’s face.

“You have to kill someone!”

At those words, the deathly chill swiftly changed into utter dread.

“K-k-kill someone…?” Ruby stammered.

“Well technically,” Beochi continued without batting an eye. “You have to kill someone and get away with it. But I bet you weren’t expecting me to say THAT!” He cackled and jumped in the air excitedly. “To get outta here, you have to get away with murder!”

“Uh...” Ruby said nervously, looking around at the others. “Okay...Ha ha...Very funny-”

“I’m not kidding, little red.” Beochi replied with a smirk. “Check your scroll for proof.”

Ruby felt her scroll buzz in her pocket again. There had apparently been an update to the rules, so she checked the regulations app.

When she opened it, her eyes widened in horror.

“Any student who kills another student without being discovered shall graduate.”

Rule 5 had been decrypted, and what was written there made her blood go cold.

“You’ve gotta be kidding me...” Jaune muttered. He also had his scroll out.

“We have to get away with murder?” Mercury said with a cold glare aimed at Beochi’s direction. “What the hell are you talking about!?”

Beochi gave him a sarcastic glance. “I think your ears need cleaning out, buddy. I literally just explained it to ya. You have to get away with murder if you wanna leave! As long as somebody’s blood is on your hands, you can leave! But first-”

Pyrrha immediately objected, cutting him off. “H-hey! Stop messing around! We can’t kill each other!”

“Of course you can.” Beochi said to her, with an unnaturally sweet smile. “Doesn’t take much to drive a sword into someone’s gut, or hit ‘em over the head really hard, or shove their head into a pool for a few minutes, or tie a REALLY tight rope around their neck...” He started drooling a little. “Oh, the endless possibilities to end your friends’ lives~!” He immediately composed himself. “But as I was say-”

But before he could finish, something happened.

“Okay...” Yang growled, her eyes flashing bright red. “NO.”

She shot over to Beochi like a bullet and picked him up by the neck.

“Wh- HEY!”

“You shut your fucking mouth and tell us how to really get out of here, you little shit.” Yang said coldly, not letting go.

“I already told you!” Beochi growled, flailing around to release himself from Yang’s grip.

“Like hell you did!” Her red eyes burned brighter. “Tell us how we really get out of here or I’ll rip you to fuckin’ shreds!”

“Put me down this instant!” He continued flailing in her tight grip. “I am your headmaster! Unhand me at once, young lady, or you will receive a punishment-!”

“YOU’RE NOT! THE FUCKING! HEADMASTER!” Flaming sparks flew around her as Yang tightened her fingers around Beochi’s neck.

“Yang, hold on!” Ruby said desperately.

Jaune raised an eyebrow. “Yang, you’re breaking rule number 4. We haven’t even been here a day and you’re already breaking rules.”

“SHUT IT, JAUNE!” Yang screamed, only making her grip tighter.

It was then that Beochi stopped flailing. His limbs drooped down, and a repeating high-pitched beeping noise echoed through the amphitheatre.

It didn’t take long for them to figure out where the noise was coming from.

“Uh, Yang?” Nora started. “The tiny Beowolf is beeping!”

The heat from Yang’s aura started to dissipate as she looked over to Nora. “Huh?”

“It seems to be making some kind of recurring high pitched noise...” Penny said, putting a finger to her chin.

The beeping noise continued, but when it started to get faster, Jaune had a sudden realisation.

“Yang. Throw the tiny Beowolf.”

“What?”

A tone of urgency entered his voice. “YANG YOU HAVE TO THROW IT NOW!”

“Wait-” Yang started, looking down at Beochi in her hand.

He had gone completely limp, the orange eye had gone dark and the yellow eye was flashing in time with the beeps.

Her eyes snapped back to their usual colour.

“AGH!” She grabbed the thing with her other hand and threw it.

In Scarlet’s direction.

“Wait, what the hell-!?” He started, as the flying Beochi hit him in the torso. “Gah-!”

“I DIDN'T MEAN THROW IT AT SOMEONE ELSE, YOU IDIOT!” Jaune shouted angrily.

“AND WHY DID YOU THROW IT AT ME!?” Scarlet seconded, now holding Beochi in his hands.

“I don't know, you were closest!” Yang stammered.

“No, he wasn't!” Mercury said from the other side of the room.

“SHUT IT, MERCURY!”

A devious smirk suddenly appeared on Scarlet’s face. “Let's hope you can catch as good as you throw!” He threw Beochi directly back at Yang.

“Wh- HEY!”

Jaune held his head in his hands, as the beeping continually got faster. “Oh my god...”

Yang’s eyes turned red again. “WHY THE HELL DID YOU THROW IT BACK!?”

“WHY DID YOU THROW IT AT ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!?”

“YOU take it!” She threw Beochi back at Scarlet.

“You're the one that picked him up, YOU take it!” He threw Beochi back at Yang.

The beeping was reaching a fever pitch by the time Yang got it back again, and she was ready to throw Beochi back at him.

“NO, YOU TA-”

“OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD-!” Jaune immediately snatched Beochi out of Yang’s hands, and threw him at the ceiling.

The beeping got faster and faster as Beochi was flying through the air, until…

He suddenly exploded.

The fiery explosion startled all of them, and no-one said anything until the heat died down.

“Wh...” Ruby started. “What the…!?”

Jaune sighed. “Just as I thought.” He walked back to his original position next to Ruby.

Yang’s eyes were still fixed on where the explosion was.

“That...” Her eyes faded back to lilac. “That coulda killed me!”

“THEN WHY THE FUCK DID YOU THROW IT AT ME!?” Scarlet shouted angrily.

Yang turned around to face him. “I thought YOU had it!”

“NO!!!”

Nora sucked some air in through her teeth. “I have a feeling that this is going to be REALLY important later...”

“Hopefully not.” Ren replied.

“Why is no-one mentioning the fact that Yang threw a LITERAL BOMB at my teammate!?” Sun asked, angrily pointing at Yang.

Yang turned around to face Sun. “I didn’t know he would explode!”

“You totally did.” Mercury said from the other side of the room.

“SHUT IT MERCURY!”

Sage gave Yang a cold glare as Scarlet walked back next to him.

“Just don’t do it again.”

“Okay, okay! Jeez!” She said. “But...Beochi’s gone right? We all saw him explode!”

“Three...” Jaune said quietly.

“Not now, Jaune. We can find a way out of here now!”

“Two...”

“Now that Beochi’s dead, we don’t have to kill each other anymore!”

“One.”

“YA REALLY THINK SO, BARBIE DOLL!?” A voice growled from behind her.

“Huh…?” Yang turned around, only to find Beochi, perfectly fine, standing back on the podium.

“OH GOD THERE’S MORE OF YOU.”

“Yup!” He said with a nod. “The guy that created me made hundreds of copies in case I ever got destroyed! It’s called life insurance, honey.”

“Grr...” Yang clenched her hands into fists. “DAMN YOU…!”

“Anyway, as I said, there’s no other way outta here! Unless you get your hands dirty with your friend’s blood and the others are none the wiser, of course.”

Scarlet gave Beochi a cold expression. “And how exactly do you expect us to kill each other? Because last I checked, you've apparently confiscated our weapons.”

“Huh?” Ruby said, immediately running her hands over the belt where she usually kept Crescent Rose to check the validity of Scarlet’s statement.

Crescent Rose wasn’t there.

And when she looked over at Jaune, Crocea Mors wasn’t sheathed on his belt either.

Scarlet was right.

“It's not gonna be like a gladiatorial arena!” Beochi objected in mock horror. “That’s just barbaric!”

“Coming from the guy literally telling us to kill each other.” Mercury replied with a raised eyebrow.

“Zip it. And to answer YOUR question, Edgelord, I want to keep this as professional as possible!”

Scarlet looked at him in bewilderment. “...‘Edgelord’...?”

“THAT’S the part you’re focusing on!?” Neptune turned over to Beochi. “And how exactly will us killing each other be professional?”

“Well, I was trying to explain it...” Beochi flashed a glare at Yang. “WHEN BARBIE DECIDED TO TAKE A STEP TOO FAR OUT OF HER BOX.”

Yang gave him a burning glare back.

“Well Yang’s not gonna grab you now.” Jaune said. “So tell us. How will you make mass murder professional?”

“Glad you asked, Blondie! At least SOMEONE in this school has manners!” He glared at Yang again. “Well, you’re gonna take part in what’s called a killing game!”

“Killing...Game…?” Ruby repeated, still not believing what was happening.

“Jeez, does everyone here have a hearing problem? Yeah, a killing game. Allow me to explain the rules.” Beochi mimed putting on a pair of glasses and flipping open a book.

“As the regulations on your scrolls stated, you aren’t allowed to leave the school. There’s enough resources for you to survive and your dormitories are open, so I don’t see a reason for you to leave. However, as I mentioned before, there is something you can do that gives you a one way ticket to the outside: getting away with the murder of someone else. BUT...” He raised a finger. “There’s a catch.”

“Every contract has a catch...” Coco said with a glare. “What’s the catch?”

“Well said, Rich Kid!” Beochi mimed flipping through the pages again. “The catch will be decrypted in three...Two...One...Now.”

Ruby’s scroll vibrated again, so she checked the regulations again.

Rule 6 had been decrypted this time.

“After a student's death, the other students shall participate in a class trial to find the killer. Participation in class trials is mandatory for all surviving students.”

“‘Class trial’?” Blake read out loud.

“Yup!” Beochi replied with a nod. “Y’see, this is where the “getting away with murder” part comes in. If one of you idiots mans up and decides to murder someone, I will hold something called a class trial. Everyone will have to argue to find out who did the dirty deed and disrupted the peace.” He mimed taking the glasses off and snapping the book shut. “Killing someone is all well and good, but you gotta get away with it if you wanna leave.”

“So if someone kills someone-” Sage started.

“I think you mean ‘when someone kills someone’.”

“No.” He continued. “If someone kills someone, you expect us to solve the murder?”

“I doubt it’ll be very hard for you, Timelord.”

“...Do you just have nicknames on tap or something?”

“Prrrobably.”

“Wait...” Weiss said, raising her hand as if asking a teacher a question.

“What’s up, Ice Queen?”

She slowly put her hand down. “Well, if the murderer gets away with their crime, they are allowed to leave, right?”

“Yeah, I just explained that-”

“What happens if they don’t?”

The room went silent again.

“I mean,” Weiss went on. “What happens if we find them out?”

“Oh…!” Beochi smiled nastily again. “I’ll explain that when the time comes.”

“‘When the time comes’-?” Ruby started, before shouting at Beochi. “Stop saying ‘when’! We aren’t gonna kill each other! We just can’t!”

“You say that now, little Red,” He gave her a nasty smirk. “But I don’t be surprised when someone changes their tune.”

“But we aren’t going to kill each other!” Tears were starting to form in her silver eyes. “We’re gonna find another way out of here!”

Beochi stared at her for a few seconds, before bursting into uproarious laughter.

“AHAHAHA! I LOVE YOUR DRIVE, LITTLE RED! But like it or not, someone here is gonna betray you!”

Ruby’s eyes widened. She looked around desperately, as if begging for help.

It was then that she noticed that everyone was staring at her.

“I...” She started. “...I-”

“Well then!” Beochi snapped. “Consider the opening ceremony over! Feel free to wander around the academy, but...” He smirked. “There’s no hope in trying to find another way to escape.”

Ruby was taking in struggled gasps of air.

“I...GH-!” She immediately turned tail and used her semblance to bust through the amphitheatre doors.

“Ruby, wait-!” She heard Yang say as she flew off.

Ruby sped through the halls and up some of the floors, before stopping at her dorm, where a scanner with a white image of a scroll on it and a doorbell hung next to the doorframe.

She scanned her scroll on the scanner, which flashed with a green light, causing the door to unlock.

Ruby slowly opened the door.

The medium sized room was painted a beige colour. It had a desk next to the window with a matching chair and a small typewriter, some paper and a scroll charger on top of it, a table with two small chairs and a bed with a red and white cover and a pristine white pillow.

Ruby was still shaken by the so-called opening ceremony and didn’t know what to do.

So she fell face forward onto the bed, hugging the pillow around her face.

This...This can’t be real…
