Hey guys, I just want to say that I am happy to receive any constructive criticism, now, back to the story

Third person POV

All of the first year students were at beacon cliff awaiting instruction, "for years, you have trained to become warriors," said Ozpin, " today your abilities will be tested in the emerald forest. "

"Now, I'm sure many of have heard rumors about the assignment of teams," said Glinda. "Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion," she continued," "Each of you will be given team mates, today." Wash heard Ruby complain.

"These teammates will be with you, for the rest of your time here, at beacon," explained Ozpin. "So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well." Ruby groaned again. " that being said, " he continued, "the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years." Great, thought Wash.

"What, " cried Ruby.

"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest," said Ozpin. "You will meet opposition along the way, do not hesitate to destroy anything in your path, or you will die." "You will be graded for the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene," he said. " you will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics, each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. " "You will guard that item, as well as your standing and we will grade you appropriately, are there any questions?" He asked.

" Yeah, um sir-" said a blonde boy before he was interrupted.

"Good, now, take your positions " stated Ozpin.

"Uh sir," said the blonde boy, "I've got, um, a question." As he said that the stone block Wiess was standing on threw her into the forest.

"So this landing strategy thing, uh, what is it you're dropping us off, or something?" The blonde boy asked.

"No," replied Ozpin, "You will be falling. More stone pads launched people into the forest. "On ai see," he said, unsure. "So, like did you hand out parachutes Dr us?" He asked.

"No you will be using your own landing strategy," said Ozpin. Yang winked at Ruby before being launched off, followed by Ruby, herself.

"So um what exactly is a landing strategyyyy," the boy was cut off when his pad launched him. Wash was then launched into the emerald forest.

Wash landed in a forward roll, taking out his battle rifle. He was on his knee looking around to make sure it was later, he was Yang taking on two ursas. She killed one and turned to the other and said, "what, you want some too." Wash shot the ursa in the back of the head.

" i could've handled it, " she said to Wash as a girl in black and white came behind Wash.

"I'm Blake," she said. " Washington, " Wash responded. Later, Wash, Yang, and Blake for the temple, "think this is it,?" She asked. Wash nodded and raised his rifle. They walked down to the temple, in it were multiple pedestals with chess pieces on them.

"Chess pieces?" Asked Blake.

"Some of them are missing, looks like we weren't the first ones here," said Yang. Wash looked over the surrounding area.

"Well, I guess we should pick one," said Blake.

"Hmm," said Yang, "how about a cute little pony." Wash mentally facepalmed, "sure," Wash and Blake said at the same time.

"That wasn't to hard," said Yang.

" it's not like this place is very difficult to find, " said Blake. Wash agreed, when they heard a scream.

"Some girl is in trouble," said Yang, " Wash, Blake did you hear that. " Wash nodded. Than he saw Ruby falling from the sky when the blonde boy from before slammed into her.

"Did your sister just fall from the sky," asked Wash.

"I..." Yang was interrupted by an ursa crashing into the clearing when it fell dead a girl got off of it and said, "aww, it's broken." An Asian man in a green coat came from behind and said, "Nora, please don't ever do that again." The girl, apparently named Nora grabbed the white rook piece from its pedestal saying, "I'm queen of the castle." "NORA," yelled the man.

" Hehehe, coming Ren, " she replied. Than a redhead, who looked a lot like agent Carolina ran into the clearing, while being chased by a death stalker. Ruby ran up to yang, " Ruby, " Yang said, sounding very exited.

"Yang, " Ruby said. They were about to hit when Nora came between them and said her name. The redhead was getting closer, Blake said, "Did she just run so the way here with a death stalker on her tail?"

"I can't take it anymore," said Yang, "could everyone chill out for like two seconds before something crazy happens again!" Ren came up to the group, "um, Yang," said Ruby. The all looked up and saw Weiss hanging on a nevermore, "how could you leave me," she yelled. Wash

" i said jump, " said Ruby.

"Son of a bitch," Wash muttered.

"She's gonna fall," said Blake.

"She'll be fine," replied Ruby.

"She's falling," said Ren. Than the blonde boy jumped out of the trees and caught her, " just dropping by, " he said, he than messed it up and fell.

"That was the worst catch ever. Of all time," said Wash. The redhead was thrown to the ground near the group, "great, the gang's all here, now we can die together," said Yang sarcastically.

"Not if I can help it," said Ruby as she charged the death stalker. She realized her error and ran the nevermore chased her, Yang went out to help her sister. The nevermore fired its feathers at Ruby and caught her cape. Wash fired a few bursts from his rifle at the flying beast. The death stalker was about to kill Ruby when Weiss saved her with a wall of ice, freezing its stinger. Yang went over to buy Ruby. Wash watched as the nevermore flew overhead.

"Guys that thing's circling back," said the blonde now identified as Jaune, " what are we gonna do. " the team's formed up and they decided to head for the cliffs as professor Ozpin had said. The ice that the death stalker was trapped in started to crack so they ran double time for the cliffs.

Wash POV

We say what looked like an abandoned castle, "we should hold this area," I suggested. I heard the nevermore above us; the death stalker would be there soon. There was a problem, the nevermore landed at the top of the fortress.

"Well that's great," said Yang. The death stalker broke out of the woods.

"On man, run," said Jaune. We all broke cover, "Nora, distract it," said Ren. Nora fired grenades from her grenade launcher at the nevermore. As the death stalker was coming up behind Nora, Ren and Blake attacked it. I turned and fired two bursts at the death stalker. The nevermore rammed the bridge, destroying it, leaving Ren, Blake, and Pyrrha on the side with the death stalker. Nora ,Jaune, and I decided to help them, but we got over by... Unusual ways. Nora got us there with her hammer but accidentally knocked Blake off luckily she used her grappling book to save herself. I threw my throwing knife into the death stalker 's eye. Then ran at it, yanking my knife out of it's eye and firing six rounds from my magnum point blank into its head. The death stalker threw me back so hard I ended up in the other side; Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang were all firing at the nevermore. It took out the structure that the girls were standing in but they made it to safety. I fired more bursts at the flying beast but it shook them off. The girls seemed to have a plan of action, the death stalker was killed the most badass sequence of events ever. Of all time. Yang asked me, "Wash are you good with that knife?"

" I like to think so, " I replied.

"Okay, come on," she said. I followed her to the top of a pillar, "oh no," I said. She told me to grab her hand, I did and she jumped at the nevermore. She held the beak open and said, "stab it in mouth." I nodded and took out my knife, then stabbed the sides of its mouth multiple times. She fired her shotgun gauntlets into its mouth, I did the same with my battle rifle.

"Time to go," I said. We jumped out of its mouth and landed on the ground as it crashed into the cliff walls. Weiss froze its tail to the wall and highlighted the wall with glyphs. I saw Ruby fly from a makeshift slingshot and wrap he scythe around the nevermore 's neck and carried it up the cliff, eventually, beheading it.

"Well, that was a thing," said Yang.
