"And as of this moment, you are all team RWBY!"
The crowd cheers for the final, and perhaps most impressive, team to be announced. However, in the back sits four second-year students. One is a large man dressed in a black trench coat with a matching scarf and a colossal single-edged blade on his back, his skin is incredibly pale and his face bears a scar that stretches to his short, oily black hair.
The second is a shorter man with silver gauntlets, an orange scarf, a grey shirt with a black pattern and blonde hair that covers one of his auburn eyes.
The third is in between the orange and black scarf wearers in terms of height and brandishes an ocean blue scarf with a long-sleeved green combat shirt, blue jeans and two tonfa on his belt. With a flaming head of long, red hair over eyes that shine like gold coins.
The final one has grey cat-ears, a grey cat tail, a blue-grey ensemble and a pure white scarf that matches the hilt of the dagger, expertly hidden on his boot. His hair is just as grey as his catlike features and one of his eyes is blue and the other was a deep brown.
"That's the one?" asked the large member.
"Without a doubt," says the one with a blue scarf.
The one with an orange scarf studies the girl in the red hood, who was now leading a first-year team, "May I ask something Soren?"
Soren, the one with the blue scarf, turned to Rick, "Yes, what is it?"
Rick looks at each member of the team. Axel, the one with the white scarf, Blade, the one in black and their leader, Soren, "Why are you so interested in finding the strongest people in the new batch?"
Soren looks down, "our mission has taken too long, it has become obvious that we need help if we plan to take on the White Fang in earnest. Come, the ceremony's over. Let's get some food and discuss our next move."
