Authors Note: This was a story I wrote for school in 11th grade. I am finally posting it here as I am beginning to finish the second chapter and will hopefully continue it after that. Big thanks to my girlfriend for some amazing inspiration and my friend RWBYSage (Go read his story Ignition if you like racing) for pushing me forward. I do not own RWBY or any of its characters. Now please enjoy the story and my wacky team.

The purple haired girl looked past the man talking in front of her towards the red leafed forest by the cliff they stood on. He was tall and white haired but still seemed young, his glasses sitting on the edge of his nose. Next to her was another girl giddy with excitement. She had a major difference and that was the fox ears on her head. That girl's name was Sienna.

"Hey Jade you hear what he just said?" Sienna whispers.

Jade whispers back slightly embarrassed, "No I kinda zoned out."

Sienna says one thing before the platform under her feet launches her into the forest, "tuck and roll."

Moments later Jade is flung into the forest along with the rest of this year's class of huntresses and hunters. As she soars through the air Jade orientates herself so that she has some control over her descent into the trees below. As she got lower the branches started to hit against her arms and legs. Her final plan was to slow down using the small branches and grab onto the trunk of a tree to stop. There was a slight problem with this plan though, she wasn't able to see through the leaves so she would have to guess and hope for the best. She decides it is now or never and angles herself to descend a bit quicker. Unfortunately she misjudges and hits a larger branch disorientating her but thanks to her aura it feels like a pinch on the arm. Sticking her arm out in fear she catches a branch and hangs on as tight as possible. Thankfully this brings her to a stop and she drops down to the forest floor. The first problem she faces is finding someone to be her partner while avoiding the monsters that live in these forests.

"Where did Sienna go?" Jade thinks to herself. There is a rustling in the leaves behind her causing her to spin around quickly and remove her weapon, dual pistols connected by a chain, from the holster on her back.

She calls out, "Sienna is that you?!" Instead of the response she was hoping for a small nevermore swoops down at her. Jade decides the best option is to run and try to get away before any more monsters show up. As she runs she keeps glancing back to see how close the creature is getting. Just as she starts to look forward again a girl with orange hair and eyes steps out in front of Jade. They both fall to the ground but get up quickly.

"What's your name?" Jade quickly asks the girl with orange hair

"Amber Himmel" she says. The nevermore comes through the trees squawking at them and Jade quickly shoots it down before turning to Amber who is shocked by the reaction time.

"Name is Jade Meadows, I grew up outside the kingdoms so that isn't a huge problem for me. Should we get going?" Jade asks. Amber nods quickly and they start walking.

After few minutes of silent walking Amber speaks up, "any clue where the relics are?" Jade looks at her quizzically not knowing what Amber is talking about. "You knooowww the relics. The ones Ozpin sent us out here to get."

"Oh those ones" Jade responds even though she is still lost on what they are talking about. They keep walking until they hear footsteps and cracking branches. Suddenly Sienna jumps out at Jade and Amber causing them to jump and stumble back.

"Hey guys" Sienna says as a girl walks up behind her facepalming, "meet my partner Riley." They wave and exchange names.

"We found a path on our way over to you guys. I think it leads to the relics but Sienna thinks it leads to a deathstalker cave." Riley says.

"Well it could!" Sienna fires back.

Jade intervenes as Riley and Sienna literally butt their heads together, "Calm down, we need to work together. We are a team now okay?" Sienna and Riley both mumble in agreement.

Amber, intimidated by Riley and Sienna asks, "Where is this path?" Riley points the direction they arrived from and says "somewhere over there." They all start walking towards the path and walk along it till they get to a clearing where they find an assortment of chess pieces.

Jade picks up one of the white knight pieces, "look guys I got a pony!" Amber giggles and Riley rolls her eyes.

Sienna on the other hand grabs the matching piece and says, "well mine is a beautiful stallion that will lead us to victory."

"We should get headed back now guys. I don't feel like fighting any grimm today" says Riley.

Amber says, "it wasn't a fight but Jade...uhhh killed a nevermore"

Jade sighs and says, "which will bring more grimm closer to us because of the noise."
"Oh sorry...I forgot"

Jade pats Amber on the shoulder, "It'll be okay, we can handle it."

Sienna smiles, "They won't stand a chance!"

As they start walking back to the cliff to meet up with their classmates a giant deathstalker crashes through the trees.

Sienna looks at Riley, "Told you so."

Riley glares at her and rolls her eyes, "Fight or run guys?"

Sienna puts on her fake paws and uses her semblance to light them on fire and Jade brandishes her weapons as well, "let's fight."

Riley takes out her hockey stick scythe, "Ready Amber?"

Amber responds, obviously nervous, "y-yeah." She takes out a lance from her backpack and readies it. They all face towards the deathstalker ready for battle.

"We have to work as a team to defeat this thing" Jade looks between Riley and Sienna.

Riley sighs, "Fine if I have to"

Sienna nods, "Anyone have a plan?"

Jade quickly comes up with an idea, "Amber I need you to throw your lance into one of its eyes"

"Got it" Amber throws her lance and it goes right where Jade asked her to hit. The deathstalker reels back from the attack.

"Sienna! Your turn!" Sienna runs and jumps onto its back using the claws to scratch at the exposed parts of the monster.

Jade uses her pistols to shoot at the stinger of the deathstalker making it easily able to be cut off, "Riley your turn" Riley quickly climbs up the tail to the stinger and slashes at it with her weapon causing it to fall down. Sienna then slams her hands down on it finishing off the creature which instantly dissolves and disappears.

Sienna looks around and says, "what no trophy to keep?"

Riley chuckles, "nope no trophy for you."

"What a waste"

Amber smiles, "I helped didn't I?"

"Yes you did Amber," Jade says, "but now we need to get back quickly."

Amber nods in agreement.

The walk back to the cliff side is filled with mainly just Riley and Sienna poking fun at each other broken up occasionally by Jade asking them to stop. It is an uneventful walk back otherwise. Amber and Jade talk about how Jade lived outside of the normal kingdoms and after they stopped joking with each other Riley and Sienna talked about life in Vacuo.

Once they got to the cliff they got into the airship for the ride back to the school. When they got back they joined the rest of the students who just joined the school in the gathering space to be officially accepted as students.

Ozpin stands in front of the students and calls forward Jade, Amber, Sienna, and Riley, "Jade Meadows, Amber Himmel, Sienna Umberon, and Riley Currant. You four retrieved the white knight pieces. You will now be known as Team JASR. Led by...Jade Meadows" Everyone applauds and Jade stands speechless as the rest of her team hugs her and cheers. She can't believe these are the people she is going to fight alongside of for at least the next four years
