Welcome to Beacon, we have an infirmary
I couldn’t believe that this was happening. I risk my life on numerous occasions and Atlas just abandons me once again,in the middle of the gods damned Everfree Forest. Heh, at least I can see Beacon in the distance. Those ponies were always good to me. Maybe I can transfer there? I think to myself as I began to black out from the blood loss thanks to those damned grimm.
Twenty Four Hours Later
“Twilight, do you know who this is?” Was what I awoke to along with the sound of hooves clacking on the floor, and when I opened my eyes the first thing I see is a teenage dragon.
“Of course I do Spike. This is Flynt Coal, a registered Atlas academy student. Who is awake and needs to start answering some of my questions.” The one the dragon was talking to said, and when I turned to them I saw a purple pony with wings and a horn... WINGS AND A HORN? It was at that point that I realized that I was lying on a hospital bed, in what looked like an infirmary, in what could only be Beacon Academy and my eyes shot opened when I remembered who I was talking to.
“I’M SO SORRY HEADMASTER. I DIDN’T MEAN TO CAUSE YOU ANY TROUBLE, PLEASE DON’T HURT ME!” I shouted out in fear, from the knowledge that while ponies are usually peaceful they are incredibly painful when punching. Especially those alicorns.
“Hurt you? Why would Twilight hurt you? You're already injured and from the looks of them, by at least ten timberwolves and at some point a manticore.” The one identified as Spike told me.
“Well that is a welcomed relief, but hey you said you have questions and I have answers... probably. So ask away” I replied to the both of them, trying and obviously failing by their looks at trying to act cool.
“Good, now my first question is why were you in the Everfree Forest?” The headmaster asked.
“Because I was on a mission with my team, but the grimm came out of absolutely nowhere. We didn’t even stand a chance and I just barely got out of there alive. But I do think Katt manage to escape, but I know the others didn’t.” I told them with a sigh and tears in my eyes.
“Oh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to bring up any unhappy memories. Let’s move away from that topic. Why didn’t you make your way back to Atlas? Why come here?” She asked me again.
“Because before we left for this mission, one of the special force guards told me that if the full team wasn’t coming home, then I better not come back or else. And knowing that “or else” means my imprisonment, I decided to head to a place that wasn’t out for my neck. And I was also hoping to be able to transfer here.” I explained to her.
“While that is most unfortunate, what made you think that we are anymore friendly or let you transfer?” This time the dragon known as Spike asked me.
“From experience. Every time I have come here, I was greeted with nothing but kindness and as for the transfer. I honestly don’t expect you to. I’m actually waiting for when you call a team and have me escorted back to Atlas to be imprisoned.” I tell them with full honesty, clutching my hat between my hands.
“While I will not have you escorted back to Atlas, I cannot give the okay for a transfer on my own. I must talk with Atlas’ headmaster about this, what was her name, Gilda Grimmfeather? Yeah that’s it, she was a great partner during our school days. Anyways, so while we go take care of that, the team that rescued you would like to talk and they can stop eavesdropping.” The headmaster said to both me and apparently the ones right outside the door. And not a second after she said that, did a group of creatures fall into the room from the door giving out.
“Heh heh, how long did you know we were out there?” Asked the Changeling of the bunch.
“The whole time, and while you may think you are good a sneaking, you are in fact terrible with all that whispering you were doing.” Headmaster Twilight chastised.
“Yes Headmaster, but we wanted to properly meet the new guy so much that we couldn’t wait. Can you possibly find it in your heart to forgive us?” All four of them asked doing the puppy eyes, which was slightly disturbing seeing as two of the members were a minotaur and a griffon.
*Sigh* “I guess so, but this is the last time. One more thing like this and I will be forced to discipline you. Do you understand?”
“Yes ma'am.” They replied and with a smile, the Headmaster and Spike walked out.
“Now that she is gone, would you all care to introduce yourselves?” I asked.
“Sure, I’m team AMOR’s leader Amethyst!” The changeling replied with a lot of happiness.
“I’m Moriarity, the team's heavy hitter.” The minotaur of the bunch replied.
“The names Orange and I’m the team’s scout.” The griffon in the back called out.
“I-I’m Red Crystal and I’m the team’s sniper.” The diamond dog in the back shyly replied.
“Well it’s nice to meet you all, and if you didn’t get it from my previous conversation, my names Flynt Coal and I am currently schooless. And since I can tell that you all have questions ask away.” I told them.
“What weapon do you use and what’s your semblance?!” Amethyst asked.
“A weapons enthusiast eh? Well I use my trumpet to produce sound waves that can render my opponents immobile or close to immobile, and when I combine dust with them, I can produce different effects. And as for my semblance, I call it my Killer Quartet and it allows me to make three other copies of myself so that I can quadruple my efficiency.” I explained while starting to nod off. “Hey ladies I’m sorry, but I need some sleep so how about you come back later?”
“Sure, we’ll see you later Flynt.” They said before walking out of the room and I slowly slipped back into sleep.

Hey everyone, I hope you enjoy this story. Also to anyone wondering, italics mean thoughts. Welp that's all mates, I'll be seeing you all around.
I could tell that it had been a good bit of time since I had fallen asleep, because I could feel the sunlight streaming in from the windows and it was what had woken me up.
“Uhhhhhg, go step on a lego sun and after your done doing that, go back to bed.” I mumbled.
“Well that is an interesting insult isn’t it?” A familiar voice asked from the chair beside my bed.
“AHH, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THERE?!” I shouted out in surprise, at who I could now identify as Headmaster Twilight.
“Well, it has been about thirty minutes since I arrived so a good bit of time. Mr. Flynt.” She told me.
“Ohh, well why didn’t you wake me up instead of waiting?”
“Because that would be rude to do to a new student.” She said and i nearly lost it at that point from sheer happiness.
“Thank you thank you thank you headmaster. I promise that you won’t regret this.”
“Make sure that you don’t, Mr. Flynt. Also I have enlisted the team AMOR to show you around today, and too bring you to our classes and for that, here’s your schedule. Also your equipment is in the cabinet beside you.” She said before handing me my schedule and exiting the room, and a couple of minutes later team AMOR walked in after I had gotten out of the bed and redressed myself and grabbed my trumpet.
“Hey dude, you ready to go?”Amethyst asked before seeming to remember something. “Also can I see your schedule?”
“Sure, here you go.” I said handing it to here and watched as she squealed in joy for some reason.
“Yay, it seems that we have the same classes. This is going to be so fun.” She said jumping from happiness, and after hearing that so did the rest of her team.
“Well that is all good and stuff, shouldn’t we get going? The schedule says that we have combat training first, I do believe.” i said and with a gasp Amethyst somehow grabbed me and her team and dragged us all off to what I could only assume to be the combat classroom.
Five Minutes Later
“Now that everyone is here, let me start off by introducing our new student and a duel. Will Mr. Coal please come down to the arena?” The combat instructor, Ms. Rarity asked and I had to comply. “Now Mr. Coal, who would you like to fight? And I should tell you this now, that Headmaster Twilight has decided that you will be joining the team of whoever it is that you pick.”
“Hmm, I think the ones with the pink bowtie and the cool shades.” I said pointing at a gray mare with the bowtie and a white mare with the shades, while hoping that I made the right choice.
“Both at the same time? if your sure than I will allow it.” Ms. Rarity said, before calling the two down. “Ok all three of you know the rules correct? Than let this match begin.” She called out and I immediately began playing my trumpet to try and keep them in place, but only managed to capture the white one. While the other one used what I could now see as a bow for a cello to slash at me, which caused me to lose my focus and release the white mare.
“Woah, watch where your swinging that thing, it might just come back to burn you.” I said with a cheeky grin as I place a vial of fire dust into my ammunition slot and played, causing the sound waves to be replaced with a tunnel of fire that washed over the bow wielding mare, and nicking the white mare, singing her fur slightly.
“Oh, you think it’s okay to burn my fur do you? Well think again you son of a whore!” The white mare shouted at me, before dragging out what looked like an amplifier for a turntable, that’s front unfolded into the barrel of a cannon. “Let’s see how you like a similar treatment punk.” And then she fired what appeared to be a concentrated wave of wub that I was to close to dodge, which almost knocked my aura completely out.
“You know, *cough cough* that hurts like I just stepped on a lego. And not one of those big ones. Oh no, I’m talking about the one by one lego pieces. You know, the ones that you know are there, but you still step on it and can’t get it out? yeah, those legos. So in retaliation, I am going to play you a little song.” I told them and readied my trumpet after switching out the fire dust for a vial of steam dust, and was chuckling inside when i noticed their pained expressions from when I described the pain of legos. “Now, let’s get this show on the road eh?” I called out and began playing, as I watched my sound waves take the form of scalding hot steam that temporarily disabled the what I am guessing is a wub cannon, and depleting the aura of the white mare completely.
“You monster, you hurt Vinyl so now I have to hurt you.” The bowtie wearing pony shouted at me, before picking up her cello from somewhere and playing it which released the stored dust in it, causing the notes to have different effects that were sadly directed at me. With the effects ranging from simple fire to all four primal elements combining to cause me excruciating pain, as well as deplete my aura the rest of the way, and causing me to pass out again.

Hey everyone, so i will probably be moving again within a week or two. So this will probably be the last story update you see for a while. But I may do some writing on my nook. Also when I do get around to it, the next couple of chapters are going to be focused on Keon Katt.
