Chapter 1: Awaken

Eren's eyes shot open as he sat up quickly and surveyed his surroundings;

Levi was waking up and rubbing his forehead,

Armin was still passed out,

and Mikasa was also stirring.

"What the hell happened!?" Eren shouted at Levi,

"How am I suppose to know? I am in the same damn situation you are, brat," Levi retorted nonchalantly,

Eren shook his head

and looked at himself,

'Okay I still have my gear which is good, now what happened?'

Flashback

Eren's POV

"What was that flash?" Mikasa asked,

none of us answered, we just stared at the strange black hole that was forming,

"I don't think it is a good thing..." Armin said nervously,

"We need to get back to the walls NOW!" Levi said in a tone that was not like himself,

nevertheless the black hole was closing in way to fast for our horses, so it did not matter what we did,

in seconds darkness surrounded us and everything went black.

Present

'Then it was now,' Eren thought to himself,

he shook his head again while vainly trying to figure out what happened.

Eren walked over to Mikasa, still lying on the ground, and gently shook her until her eyes fluttered open,

she gave Eren a confused look,

he shrugged as he returned the glance.

He then went over to Armin and also shook him,

unlike with Mikasa, it was not as easy,

"Armin? You there?" Eren asked,

Armin simply groaned and mumbled something like, "Five more minutes."

Eventually Armin got up and they all circled together for a meeting.

"For the last time Armin, I don't know what happened," Levi shouted, as in, he raised his voice slightly which counts as shouting for Levi,

"Alright, alright I'm just confused is all," Armin said as he shrunk slightly from Levi's gaze,

"We are all confused, remember that," Mikasa said softly which seemed to calm Armin down a lot,

"Now, call it a hunch, but we are not in the same world as we were before," Levi said,

everyone looked at him like he was crazy,

"What do you mean by that?" Eren asked,

Levi gave him a slightly annoyed look,

"Think about it, if this was titan territory we would be dead by now, judging by the fact that we were out for around two to three hours if I were to guess,"

Mikasa and Armin exchanged looks when Armin spoke up,

"Well, if that is the case we should proba-"

a shallow roar cut him off,

"The hell...?" Eren said quietly,

Levi scanned the tree line and slowly took out a blade with his hand when his eyes seem to catch something,

"Gotcha..." he muttered as he flung the blade like a throwing knife at the tree line,

a sharp yelp and a thud was heard afterwards.

The group walked cautiously towards the treeline as they see a black wolf-like creature with a blade in its neck slowly disintegrating,

"We should probably move," Levi said as he took the blade from the carcass.

Chapter 2: Grimm

The group made it to a small town before nightfall where they sat in the inn talking about what happened,

"Maybe it is a blessing so we wont have to fight titans anymore," Armin said quietly,

nobody questioned this theory,

Levi and Mikasa already gave up on trying to figure this out on their own and Eren was pretty close to giving up as well when suddenly, the village bell started ringing.

People started frantically running in all directions as the bell echoed through the night,

Mikasa grabbed a patron trying to flee by the shirt,

"What is happening?" she asked quickly,

the frantic man started sputtering when he finally said, "The grimm h-have c-come to k-kill us!"

Mikasa let go of the man and let him run off,

"Shit," Levi said as he looked out the window and stared at a giant scorpion,

"those men are not trained enough to handle this,"

Eren looked outside and then at Levi,

"Then let's help them," he said firmly,

the other three nodded in agreement.

"There are too many of them!" one of the men yelled as he was fending off a bear grimm,

"Watch out!" another man yelled as the giant scorpion stinger went straight for one of the men.

Out of nowhere, a flash of green and brown flew at the scorpion like a buzz saw, carving it cleanly in half right before it's stinger pierced the other man's chest, the figure landed

and looked back at them with a sidelong glance before another voice was heard,

"Are you alright?" the figure behind the soldier said, he spun around to see three more people with brown jackets and green cloaks,

"Y-yeah..." the man stammered, then the original cloaked figure that came out of nowhere walked up to him,

"Get your men out of here, we will handle this..."

he said coldly, the man was frozen in shock and did not react until the Levi gave him a small kick,

the man immediately was woken from his trance then

simply nodded in fear and commanded his men to reinforce the town center.

"Let's just get this over with," Levi sighed as Eren, Mikasa, and Armin drew their blades and faced the large group of grimm.

Thirty minutes later

The group of huntsmen rushed into the village in response to the distress call,

"What?" one of the huntsmen said as there were no Grimm to be found,

the village elder came up to them,

"Ah, you must be the huntsmen that were sent, but I am afraid the problem was dealt with, I apologize that you had to come this way for nothing,"

The huntsmen exchanged surprised looks,

"By who, could we ask?" the leader asked,

"A group of four, they are currently at the inn if you would like to see them," the elder responded,

"Thank you, we will see them now,"

the huntsmen walked into the inn and saw the group of four at a table,

the huntsmen cautiously walked towards the group when suddenly the

male with black hair, without even turning around asked,

"What do you want?"

then he gave a short glare which made the huntsman shrink slightly,

"Pardon me, but I think someone will want to talk to you..."

Chapter 3: First Impressions

The group sat on the airship heading for Beacon Academy, how did this happen, well...

Flashback 2 months ago Ozpin's POV

"You wanted to speak with us?" The assumed leader asked with a cold expression,

"Yes, I will just get straight to the point, I am Professor Ozpin, Headmaster of Beacon Academy. I am fascinated by your abilities in battle as well as your coordination and

teamwork, and would personally like to invite you four to my school." I said simply,

the man named Levi seemed slightly interested, but went back to his normal expression and asked,

"What is the catch?"

I looked at his eyes, I immediately saw the pain and regret he had in his soul, the pain that he works hard to hide, you could tell he lost so many people that he cared about,

that was a discussion for another day though,

"No catch, unless you include going to classes and possible death," I said with a half smile,

"Alright, fine, not that much different than normal" he simply said.

This response surprised me to say the least, although I did not think much of it, nor did I ask of it

because I am sure that he does not want to talk about his past,

at least right now...

Present

The ship landed as everyone got off it,

the next few minutes were pretty crazy as Eren walked down the courtyard and examined his upgraded gear,

with an air intake for his canister so gas refueling was no longer an issue

as well as collapsible blades,

which were next to indestructible,

the blade would still need to be attached to the handle like normal,

but when it did, the blades extended to full length.

The folded blades sat in between his arm and his side

,everyone else got the same upgrades,

however, Levi added a setting that allowed the blade to curve slightly which allows for greater aerodynamics and speed while using 3D Maneuver Gear.

Eren looked around at the area and stared at the tower and grinned,

when suddenly a small, but fiery explosion went off right beside him,

he turned and saw two girls, one in red and the other in white,

the one in white started yelling at the red girl while she kept trying to apologize,

Eren then stepped in,

"If you don't mind, could you calm down?" Eren said the girl in white spun around and glared at him,

"Excuse me? Do you even know who your talking to?" she snapped,

Eren was slightly shocked at how this girl was acting,

"No, and I don't think it would matter who you are, my response would be the same," Eren retorted coolly,

"Wha-?" the girl in white seemed to try and think of a response,

Eren continued, "Plus, she said she was sorry, so let the damn thing go, princess,"

she then gave him a death stare

when a voice behind them said, "It's Heiress, actually..."

a girl in black walked up to them,

"Weiss Schnee, Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world."

Weiss beamed at this,

"Finally, some recognition!" she said as she shot a glare at the girl in red,

but then the black dressed girl continued,

"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." she finished,

"-What- How dare- The nerve of-" Weiss tried again to retort as the red girl and Eren snickered,

Weiss then stormed off when the red girl shouted

"I promise I will make it up to you!"

She then tried to start a conversation with the other girl but she already walked off.

"Rough day?" Eren asked the girl in red,

"Yeah," she said slightly depressed, "Oh, I am Ruby by the way, thanks for your help back there"

Ruby extended her hand

"Eren," he replied and returned the handshake,

"And I am Jaune!" a voice said behind them,

they both whirled around to see a tall blond boy with a white chest plate and shoulder guards,

"Nice to meet you," Ruby cheerfully said when she scoffed a bit,

"aren't you the guy who threw up on the ship?"

Jaune blushed at this.

They were walking in the courtyard while Jaune was ranting about motion sickness when Levi walked up to them,

"Did you need something, Levi?" Eren asked,

Levi gave him 'his' stare then said,

"Nothing, just making sure you don't get into trouble, brat,"

Ruby and Jaune turned around and looked at Levi,

"Hi, I'm Ruby," she said cheerfully and extended her hand to which Levi just gave her his normal 'Levi' look,

"Pleasure," he said coldly without taking her hand.

Ruby let her hand drop and nervously looked at Eren for help,

"Don't worry, it is not you, Levi just isn't exactly... sociable..." Eren said nervously as Levi glared at him.

To break the silence Ruby reached for her back and pulled out a box,

"Soooo, I got this thing," she said as she turned the red box into a scythe about twice her size,

"Whoa!" Jaune exclaimed,

"is... that a scythe?" he asked,

"It's also a customizable, high impact sniper rifle," she said proudly,

"A wha-?" Jaune said blankly,

"It's also a gun," she explained,

"Oh, that is really cool!" Jaune said,

"All I got is this sword and collapsible shield," he disappointingly said,

"I think it is pretty neat," Eren chimed in, they heard Levi scoff quietly,

Eren shot a glare at him, then looked back at Jaune,

"I like the classics honestly," he continued which seemed to cheer Jaune up a bit,

"Yeah... The classics..." he said softly,

Ruby then turned her attention on the other two guys,

"So what do you guys have?" Ruby asked curiously, Eren then looked at Levi, who just shrugged for a, 'Go ahead',

"Well us four which would be me, Levi and two others have the same weapons, which consists of..."

Eren explained as he drew his two blades,

"These swords and something we call 3D Maneuver gear which allows us to get around very easily with wires and compressed gas," he finished and looked at Ruby who looked

like she was in heaven,

"We should probably get to the assembly if you idiots are done wasting time," Levi said.

Chapter 4: The First Step

Line break

Everyone was awake and getting ready for the initiation,

Levi was propped up against a wall already prepared,

Jaune was trying to flirt with Weiss, again, as well as a different girl

Mikasa and Ruby were ready,

while Armin and Eren were chatting about teams,

when Weiss was suddenly heard loudly,

"Do you have any idea who you are talking to?" she said to Jaune,

"Not in the slightest, Snow Angel," he said smoothly,

"This is Pyrrha," Weiss explained,

"Hello again," Pyrrha said cheerfully

as Weiss continued,"She graduated top of her class in Sanctum,"

"Never heard of it," Jaune said,

slightly shocked, Weiss continued, "She's won the Mistral Regional Tournament 4 years in a row... A new record!"

"The what?" Jaune said blankly again,

Weiss started getting irritated,

"She's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box!" she shouted,

Jaune's eyes lit up as he gasped,

"That's you?! They only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters!" he said excitedly,

"Yeah it was pretty cool, sadly the cereal isn't very good for you," Pyrrha said softly,

"So, after hearing this, do you really think you're in a position to ask her to be on your team?" Weiss said finally, you could see Jaune's character drop,

"I guess not... sorry," he said as his shoulders slumped down,

Pyrrha walked over to him,

"Actually Jaune, I think you'd make a great leader," she said as she put her hand on his shoulder,

"D'oh, stop it!" Jaune said having his mood do a complete 180,

"Seriously, please stop it. This kind of behavior should not be encouraged!" Weiss started,

but Jaune, back in his 'suave' mode leaned over to Weiss,

"Sounds like Pyrrha's on board for team Jaune. Spots are filling up quick," he said smoothly,

"now i'm not supposed to do this, but, maybe I could pull some strings, find a place for you, what do you say?" he finished,

Weiss backed up as Jaune got a bit closer,

"Alright, that's a bit too close! Pyrrha, a little help please?" she asked,

suddenly Pyrrha throws her spear at Jaune sending him flying at the wall,

Levi nonchalantly sidestepped as Jaune was stuck to where Levi just was,

"I'm sorry!" Pyrrha called

then the intercom went off as Glynda Goodwitch's voice was heard,

"Would all first year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation?" she asked as

people started walking out Pyrrha pulled her spear out of Jaune's hood,

"It was nice meeting you," she said sweetly,

"Likewise," Jaune sighed,

Levi rolled his eyes and went outside as well,

as Ruby, Yang, Eren, Armin, and Mikasa walked up to Jaune,

"Having trouble there, lady-killer?" Yang asked as Ruby started helping him up,

"I don't understand, my dad said all women look for is confidence, where did I go wrong?" he sighed

"Snow angel, probably was not the best start," Mikasa said,

"Guys, we should probably get going," Armin said timidly,

"Yep, let's go!" Eren said.
