Author's note: Anything in italics for this story is going to be commentary from the characters or in this chapter a report, just a heads up. Also because I'm not really gonna mention this elsewhere Roxxanna has an American accent mostly from New York, meanwhile, James has an Irish accent. Just for your reading pleasure.
*thunk**thunk* "Is this thing on?" "Yes James it's on, now start talking" "Ahem, yes well best we start now than later right" "Just get this video report done so we can send it to the captain" "No need to be snarky Roxxanna" "ahem, log date 1996-8 universe code RWBY- 61 report on Beacon Academy initiation and the contract"
Twelve Hours earlier
"The Universe Codex Adaptor installed on the multi-universe hopper was a success and thus we were able to head to the correct universe for the contract you gave us(Thanks again by the way for the needed lien for contract work). And so we were zapped into this universe in the middle of the Emerald Forest during initiation…"
"All now right where are we," I asked. " Well a good start would be to check what universe we're in to check if the adaptor work-" "AHHHHHHHHH" "Rude, but I suppose if people are near we might find civilization, let's move James," She told me. "Right because whoever is screaming like a mad man is clearly the best choice for help towards civilization" " You have a better idea, James," she asked. " No, but-" "no, well then let's go" "I'm just saying if we get caught up in another war of good and evil I'm gonna harm someone" "Well direct it towards the enemy if we do James".
A good 10-minute hike leads us to a group of kids about our age if not older. All of whom seems to be quite eccentric.
"Hello, there none of you would happen to know who the person that screamed earlier is and moreover where the closest way to civilization would be?" Roxxanna asked. "Way to be subtle" I muttered. "Uhh, who are you and I don't remember seeing you at initiation?" the blonde in the bomber jacket asked. "The name is Roxxanna, and this is my friend and partner James. Also, initiation is that why you're all crowded around those oversized chess pieces?" "uhh, yea if you're out here your in Beacon's initiation because you can't be camping as if you don't have a huntsman or huntress accompanying you, the forest is filled with Grimm. How do you guys not know that?" The girl clad in white chided. "Fuck Roxxanna I just remembered the captain didn't give us a briefing about this universe" "no shit smartass" we whispered to each other. "Uhh, What is that", I pointed towards the giant scorpion, " and why is it frozen with ice in the middle of a nonsnow covered forest?" "Ugh, Its called a Deathstalker and it's frozen because of ice dust! Dust are you two the most sheltered kids in all of Remnant!?" the girl in white yelled at us. "Ahem, I prefer uninformed but sure if you want to be crass" "Right well we should get going the Deathstalker is starting to break free of its icy shackles," Roxxanna said. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that oversized Thanksgiving dinner is coming to wipe us off the face of the planet!" I yelled as I grabbed one of the chess pieces.
A king piece if I remember correctly, anyhow as we ran toward the cliffs of Beacon I got to know the people who were there alongside us.
"Right so while we're all running for our lives I would really rather know who I'm most likely gonna have to fight with once we get to those cliffs up ahead." I said "well I'm Yang Xiao-Long and the one with the cape is my little sister, Ruby," The blond bomber told me "Hi there I'm Ruby Rose and this is my Weiss," The caped girl said "Hello I'm Weiss Schnee of the SDC" "Who?" I asked, "The Schnee Dust Company, Remnant's leading Dust company with a virtual monopoly on the mining, refining, and selling of dust, A company but on the backs of suffering faunus." The black cat told me "Right, two things what are faunus and you are?" "Blake Belladonna and Faunus are just humans who were born with animal parts." "Oh like you right," I told Blake "what Blake's not a faunus," Yang said, "no can see the cat ears on the top of her head?" I asked "what no blake has a bo-oh" "What!? How did you know?!" Blake yelled "no time, I'll tell you later, the oversized turkey is coming in for a bombing run! TAKE COVER!" I commanded "right one last question before we start the shooting match. who are the rest of you?" I asked "Jaune Arc, short, sweet, ladies love it," the blond knight said I still have my reservations on that comment due to the reactions of some of the women around me. "Pyrrha Nikos," the red gladiator said "Lie Ren and this is my friend Nora Valkyrie" "Hi there," The green and pink duo said.
Our group of 10 got split up into JNPR me and Roxxanna v Deathstalker and RWBY v Nevermore (which on coincidence happened to be how professor Ozpin set up the teams for the group) the letters being shortening their names to the first letter of their names. For the most part, the fight went smoothly JNPR did most of the work with me and Roxxanna playing support and giving pointers of things we saw, of course, this is the heavily abbreviated version of the fight. But this is full play by play event of the fight.
"Alright, Jaune right" "yea why" "I'm gonna need you lead your partner, Nora, and ren, while me and roxxanna work on finding a weak point for you to exploit," I told him "right got it," he replied. "Alright Roxxanna I'm gonna need you and your Thompson working on distracting that oversized bug" "you're a mad man," she said as she loaded and cocked her Thompson"But I like the way you think, so consider it done" "right so now to find a weakness in that deathstalker's armor," I told myself. Looking for a weakness I discovered two which are A. its belly and B. its stinger. "Hey Jaune, get it on its belly or knock its sting in its head and smash it as hard as you can," I told him. "By the way, I recommend knocking its stinger off takes less energy" "Got it thanks" "Don't thank me yet get rid of the Deathstalker and then we can talk about thanks and stuff of that manner" "Right Ren shoot at the stinger joint you too James and Roxxanna, Pyrrha you and my will defend, and Nora you blast it with as much as you can" he commanded "you got it, kid, Roxxanna you heard the man" I replied "yes sir" a good half minute of shooting at the stinger produced the desired effect of loosening it "Pyrrha, stinger" she threw her shield and cut off the stinger and it landed on the deathstalkers head piercing it "Nora, smash" the pink bomber launched up and nailed in the stinger effectively either making the thing dead or braindead.
Meanwhile group (or I suppose on all official matters Team) RWBY took on the nevermore. When our fight with the deathstalker finished all we saw was miss Ruby Rose taking her scythe and decapitating the giant bird as for the aftermath no one was too badly injured as all injuries consisted of minor bruises and cuts due to environmental hazards. Aside from a small issue of a cliff to climb up no other issues came up on our way back. The final thing was to deal with professor Ozpin the headmaster of Beacon

"Now I don't know how you two got into the emerald forest without having passed an entrance exam for Beacon, but do not think for a second that just because you passed initiation you have made it into Beacon," Professor Goodwitch told us. "Well now Glynda perhaps we can make a gamble" "excuse me Ozpin" her eye twitched "well as you said they did pass initiation and if they can keep up with the classes I see no reason to not have them hereafter, the world could always use more guardians" "It's your call Ozpin but I swear if they fail a single class-" "Then the gamble turns out bad and they will be expelled and you will be right" he finished and turned to us " now you two won't mind being on a team of your own would you as we have no other partners to form a full team" "no problem sir" I replied "good oh and let me and Goodwitch unlock your auras for you" "right, with all due respect sir, I haven't a clue on what aura is so if you could explain it to me real quick that would lovely" I said "of course mister Sherrywood, aura is a manifestation of our souls it is what comes out to protect us in a battle and what us huntsmen and huntesses require to be able to take a hit and keep fighting" "right thank you, sir, I'll let you do your thing now" "of course For it is in loss that we find a path to victory. Through this, we become a paragon of light and humanity to rise above all. Infinite in death and unbound by time, I release your soul, and by my power, condemn thee." with my aura now unlocked it certainly feels like I can be a one-man army. "So this is what aura is." I said " yes and do be wise and not just charge into battle even if you have a lot of aura if your opponent can outsmart you then you will surely fall" "only a fool would gain power and try to abuse it, professor what do you take me for" "of course now we have a ceremony to attend"
Back to the present
" Our teams got formed with Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao-Long forming Team RWBY, pronounced ruby. Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos, and Lie Ren forming Team JNPR, pronounced juniper. And me and Roxxanna forming Team JR, pronounced joker. This is James Sherrywood end of the report on Beacon Academy Initiation and contract: overwatch knight-rose " I sighed deeply, looked up and told Roxxanna "This is going to be a bitch of a contract " "ehh what are we gonna do it's what the UNS needed someone or a group to do and it pays well." "well let us hope that nothing happens in the next 5 years then," I said. " well let's get this whole thing processed and head to bed I am beat after initiation and we have classes in the morning," she said I promptly agreed and we finished on the report sent it off and went to bed
