This will have changes to the mostly un-fleshed out Beacon Academy layout, but stuff will be changed as I see fit from cannon as this story is mine, and well I don't have a reason outside of that

On an airbus, a white and gray, metal airship, hovering through the clouds on its way to Beacon Academy, there's a soon-to-be-formed team of unlikely friends, although this story will be from the perspective of Elias Vida, their hand-to-hand specialist. His power, or well, semblance allowed him to push his body into overdrive, higher damage, and survivability, but a heavy toll on his aura, a protective layer all members of this school have.
He'd be sitting by the window, in a cloak, not over his head or anything, more like a blanket, White, stained and dirty, it seen its fair share of time, under that casual clothes with minimal armor, his hair black, that turns to pink, and lively emerald eyes, an emblem of the sun on the cloaks back, meaning life.
Nearby would be sitting one of his classmates from Signal, Ace, or well that's what he went by, purple hair only reaching his ears, and purple eyes, sharp, like razors. In a tight tank top, with what could only be called straps going across his chest, up over his shoulders, and down his back, and his pants dress pants, straps as well, one on his upper thigh, his posture making him look smaller than he was, his weapon, a knife, simply on his side, well, it's a knife that turns into a gun.Ace would be sitting on one of the main seats, the ones that were meant to be sat on, unlike Elias, but besides that, Ace is the violent, yet quiet guy, the one most stories like this would follow, his semblance allows him to physically mod his body with cybernetics, on a level that doesn't exist yet, weapons, legs that allow him to jump twice in the air, eyes that let him scan anything, and armor he can replace his skin with, all at the cost of his humanity.
Panning to another, stands two girls only one of them important as of now, that being Abigail Roth, She looks out of place, dressed like a cowboy, in a ship with high-tech weapons and people who look like they came from the future, she stands, her simple revolver on her hip, her long ginger hair clean and well-kept, the peacekeeper of the three guys, she never misses a shot. Her semblance, being what Elias calls an aimbot, makes it nearly impossible for her to miss.Jeremy Dunn, the chaotic lad he is, is talking at a smaller girl with black to red hair, both of them matching in energy, he'd be in a simple red shirt, and real baggy pants, his semblance boosting his speed, and letting him enhance his legs in the air to jump again. His weapon, a shotgun, one that turns into a bat, real effect with his semblance, his short brown hair being messy, the dog tags sitting on his neck being cheap ones he bought at a store.
The four had spent five years together at Signal, being 18 now and trained warriors, they're going to the school to finally be allowed to defend the world from Grimm, creatures of darkness, ones who sustain themselves off negative emotion and humans, and other huntsmen, ones who went rogue.
The school comes into view, it's a massive white building, or well, buildings, on a mountain that was leveled out, holo-graphic banners line the walking path, the news speaking of a criminal being spotted robbing stores, but no one's listening to that, it's staring at the massive school, the red trees lining the path, the beautiful garden, the massive training grounds, the on-campus shops, it's amazing. Most kids had never seen a place this big, and now these warriors in training will be learning, living, and making friends here.Elias can't help but feel a dark feeling, as he sees a flash, the sky is dark, the school in ruins, Grimm walking the grounds, and then it flashes back to normal, he just rubs his eyes, that never happened before. Oh well, not important to him at least, as he hops from his spot, heading towards the exit, waiting for it to land.
He bumps into a yellow-haired boy, who smells like vomit, as Elias creates some space, looking around he sees Yang Xiao-Long, a classmate from Signal, that woman scared him, long yellow hair, and an outfit anyone would drool over if they were normal, and a body that matches, but Elias was more afraid of her than attracted, he saw that woman take on teachers at Signal, and students alike, she's hotheaded, and in Jeremy's own words "Don't fuck with her".
The airship lands, "Holy shit..." is all he gets out, staring at the school he missed the tour in his final year at Signal, staring in amazement, his eyes widening, taking in Beacon Academy, his new start.

So! This is it, my first ever fanfiction, I hope whoever stumbled across my work likes it, uh, I'm Ghost, and I'll be your guide throughout this story, Maybe if I like writing I might make one based on their time at Signal!
Also, who do you all think will be the team leader? Totally not asking cause I don't know myself!
Under a thousand words, thought of stretching it more but I felt like it wouldn't be as nice to read
