Well honestly, while I haven't read most Mega Man x RWBY fanfics, the only Star Force counterpart was discontinued. Lest to say I'm disappointed was an understatement. So I decided to write this to reignite one of the Blue Bomber's torches, you know what I mean.
Anyway, here's Chapter 2 of…..
GLAS!
With Camo Leon, Jaune and Pyrrha;
Camo Leon, Jaune and Pyrrha were walking along the forest. Well, the latter two were walking. Camo Leon on the other hand was swinging along the tree with his grappling wires or 'Chameleon's Tongue'.
"You seem pretty energetic.", said Pyrrha.
Camo Leon landed on a branch, "Yup. I spent most of my Summer vacation camping out with Grandpa and and my cousin, Pyra.", he answered while hanging upside down with his tail. "You know, your name almost sounded like my cousin's. You even look almost like her.", he then gasped, "Are you her clone or something?", he asked mockingly. That earned him a laugh from the Spartan and the Knight.
Camo Leon then jump back right side up and landed feet first on the ground. "So? What the heck is this initiation anyway? Ain't like how we used to do it at home.", he asked. 'Heck. Our initiation wasn't a practical one at all.', he glanced aside before looking back at Pyrrha.
"This initiation, courtesy of professor Ozpin, tasked us to find the relics in a temple deep within Emerald Forest, which is here. Though we don't exactly know what relic are we supposed to be looking for.", Pyrrha explained. "Sending us to find something we don't know what it looks like is one thing. But LAUNCHING US FROM A CLIFF IS JUST INSANE!", he yelled angrily.
Camo Leon sweatdropped, "Harsh…" "Well to be fair, nobody was expecting that to be a part of the initiation.", the spartan said and scratched her cheek, "To be honest, the Headmaster IS a very strange person to begin with."
….
With Mega Man, Yang and Blake;
"During the day before the initiation. He let all of us slept together in the ballroom.", Yang placed her arms on her head. Mega Man shook his head at the sentence, "W-wait! You mean as in, mixed genders?", he asked, wanted clarity. "Yup. Feels good to look at those abs last night. Rwawr.", the blonde brawler even made a cat paw gesture at the last part, while Blake rolled her eyes at her for being a pervert. "Whoa. Normally back at my school, we don't mix genders in dorms.", said Mega Man, surprised by the difference in cultures.
…..
At the cliff;
Ozpin was still gazing at the forest, sipping his coffee, oblivious to his students' complaints.
…
With Harp Note, Ruby and Weiss;
"He even said that whoever makes eye contact with another person, will be partners for the rest of the years in Beacon Academy.", Weiss said frustratingly. Ruby just stuck her tongue at her in annoyance. "Wow. That's a really impractical move.", Harp Note said confusingly. "I know, right!?". Eventually, Ruby got in between them, hoping to stop the conversation. "Look, guys. Let's just forget about it and find that temple ASAP.", Ruby intervened, trying to find the light in the situation.
They all stopped as the Ice Queen asked her, "Do you even know where we're going?".
"Nope. But I do have an idea.", the Red Reaper answered.
For some reason, Harp Note couldn't help but felt a chill on her spine, 'Why am I getting a bad feeling about this?', she thought. 'Yeah, like something stupidly bad is gonna happen soon. Usually it's Leon who likes to do stupid things.', Lyra relayed her thoughts.
…
With Queen Ophiuca, Ren and Nora
Along the way, Nora was skipping ahead of Ren and Queen Ophiuca.
"We're going on a hike~, we're going on a hike~, today's the day, hip hip hooray~, we're going on a hike~.", Nora was even singing along the way.
"Seriously, aren't you annoyed by this? She's been singing that jingle non-stop!", Queen Ophiuca complained, she's been scratching her forehead over the pink dynamo's musical mantra, but for some reason, Ren didn't seem to be affected at all. In fact, he was just grinning. "She's just hyperactive, that's all.", Ren explained bluntly.
The Snake Charmer raised her eyebrow, "Okay?".
"Hide!", Nora suddenly dragged her partner and the snake charmer into a nearby bush. "What's wrong?", Queen Ophiuca asked Nora, peeking out of the bush. The redhead responded by pointing at an unsuspecting Ursa, minding it's own business. "So we're going to kill this, Grimm, are we?", she asked Nora.
"Pfft. Kill it? Who says we're gonna kill it?", Nora asked, earning a confused look from Queen Ophiuca. She then proceeded to,...tiptoe towards the creature.
"What is she doing!?", Queen Ophiuca paled. Ren started to facepalm, "Oh boy.", his tone sounded more exasperated than actual worry.
….
With Mega Man, Blake and Yang;
"Here we are.", Yang said as they arrived at the temple ruins. "Your headmaster has a strange taste in relics.", Mega Man raised an eyebrow at the sight.
Atop the pedestals in the temple ruins, were chess pieces, in which the Blue Bomber assumed they were the relics for the initiation. "Yeah. Who knew the headmaster of yours likes playing chess?", Omega-Xis blinked through the Mega Arm.
"According to him, a four-man team is represented by which chess piece is picked.", Blake said while everyone examined the pedestals, some of them were empty. "Looks like someone must've been here.", said Mega Man.
Yang playfully picked up a white knight piece, "How about this cute little pony?".
"Sure.", Blake rolled her eyes at her partner's amusement. "What about you?", the raven-haired ninja asked the Blue Bomber.
"I'll stay here till the others regroup. Then maybe we'll head back to base to report?", he lied about that part, causing Blake to squint at him. "Sure. Good luck with that.", she replied, making him sighed in relief while the two huntresses resumed picking a chess piece.
…..
With Camo Leon, Pyrrha and Jaune.
"You think this is it?", Jaune asked, looking at a cave entrance with some writings around it. "I don't know. Your pick, Arc Knight.", Camo Leon lifted his shoulders.
"Arc Knight?", the blonde knight was baffled by the nickname.
"Yeah. You look like a knight to me.", Camo Leon then looked at Pyrrha, "You on the other hand looked like a spartan, so I should call you, 'Lady Spartan'!". Pyrrha could only giggle at the guy's antics.
The cave was pitch black, so Jaune had prepared himself a torch to light the way. "I'm not sure this is the place.", said Pyrrha dejectedly. Jaune sighed, "Pyrrha, I made the torch. Can you at least humor me for like 5 feet?", he said, until he tripped himself and dropped the torch into a puddle, extinguishing it's flame and sending the cave back into pitch black darkness.
Jaune eventually got up. "Did you, feel that?", Pyrrha asked. "The soul crushing regret?", Jaune humored.
"Claustrophobia?", Camo Leon joined in the conversation, making the two huntsmen looked at him in confusion. "What? I'm afraid of tight spots. Especially in the dark.", he explained. "He's right.", Camo said.
Pyrrha shook her head, "No. It's warmth.". Indeed they did felt that, the source seemed to came from some sort of a yellow glowing object floating in front of them.
"It's the relic!", Jaune exclaimed. He tried to reach for the 'relic', only for it to pull back by itself. "Hey! Get back here!", he tried again. This time, he jumped towards the 'relic' and grabbed it, "Gotcha!".
"Psst. Hey! Can't you make yourself glow with YOUR tail, pal?", Camo asked his partner. Camo Leon facepalmed for not thinking about it sooner, "Oh, right. ELECTRO STINGER!", Camo Leon conjured up his lightning tail blade as a makeshift torchlight. Once there was sufficient light, Camo Leon can finally see clearly, only to see something unpleasant in front of them,
"Uh oh.", his expression turned from joy to fear. Pyrrha showed the same expression as he did, "Uh, Jaune. You might want to let go of that.", she said nervously. Jaune paled when he realized that the 'relic' he was holding wasn't a relic at all.
It was a stinger of a scorpion-like Grimm, which it began hissing at the unlucky victim.
….
A girlish scream echoed at the temple ruins, alerting Mega Man, Yang and Blake. "Some girl's in trouble!", Mega Man exclaimed.
….
As Jaune screamed inside the cave, Camo Leon and Pyrrha high-tailed out of the cave as the Grimm followed suit and smashed it's way out, with Jaune still hanging on to the stinger.
The Grimm resembled a giant scorpion, with white bony pincers and upper armor reaching along it's top part of the body, tail. It's head had a bony mask with mandibles, eight red eyes and red linings.
"IT'S NOT THE RELIC! IT'S NOT THE RELIC!", Jaune panicked. "OF COURSE NOT, YOU DUMMY! IT'S A GIANT EVIL SCORPION…...THING!", Camo yelled at the guy's stupidity.
"That's a Deathstalker Grimm! They use their stingers to lure any prey unlucky enough to take the bait!", Pyrrha explained while entering her battle stance. "No kidding!", Camo rolled his eyes, knowing who's the 'victim'. "DO SOMETHING, GUYS!", Jaune yelled in distress. "Whatever you do, don't let-", Pyrrha didn't finish as the Deathstalker toss the blonde knight over yonder, the knight screamed as he flew, "-go.".
"Huh, didn't knew he can fly.", Camo Leon joked casually. He and Pyrrha then looked at the Deathstalker, who was screeching madly at them. "Uh, nice… scorpion?", Camo gulped. "I suggest we should run.", said Pyrrha. "Relax, we can take him, or, it.", Camo Leon twirled his guns. "Camo Leon, we can't waste time here. We need to find Jaune and the relics.", she warned him.
Camo Leon groaned, "Fine. Get on!", he crouched, signalled him to ride him piggyback style. Pyrrha was confused at first, "Trust me!", he said, making her accept and got on him. "Hold on tight!", he said as electric sparks began to surround his legs. The Deathstalker raised it's tail, ready to stab it's victims with it's stinger. Unfortunately for the Grimm, "LIGHTNING DASH!", the stinger hit the ground instead as Camo Leon left the area with lightning streaks behind, leaving the Grimm screeching with rage.
…..
"Blake, did you hear that!?", Yang asked her, who was looking at the sky. Correction, somethi- no, someONE, falling from the sky. "HEADS UP!", it was a young red-haired huntress, somehow falling from above, until she was tackled aside by a blonde knight, who was flying in the other direction.
The red haired girl crashed into a tree, little wolves circling around her head. "Ugh. What happened?", Ruby said groggily until she shook her head to snap out of dizziness. "Hey, Ruby.", Jaune greeted, hanging upside down above her.
"Did your sister just fell from the sky!?", Blake was dumbfounded. 'Wait. So that's Yang's sister?', Mega Man was confused to see that the busty blonde's sister is a redhead. "LOOK OUT BELOW!", only to snap out of his thoughts when he heard another scream from above, this time it was familiar. "HOLD ON, HARP NOTE! I'M COMING!", Mega Man used his thrusters for a boosted jump and grabbed Harp Note, bridal style and landed safely. "Thanks, Mega Man-kun.", Harp Note pecked his cheek in gratitude. "Heheh, No problem, Harp Note-chan.", he chuckled as he put her down.
"First your sister, and then another Huntress fell from the sky?", Blake asked. "I-", Yang was about to say something, until she heard crashing noises from the forest, revealing an enraged Ursa, "YEE-HAW!", as well as another screaming girl, followed by a grenade blast to the back that killed it as Nora got off the recently dead Grimm.
"Aww. It's broken.", Nora said dejectedly as she inspected the dead Ursa. Ren got off the same Ursa as well, though looking dizzy from the ride, he was probably NOT enjoying it unlike his partner. "Nora. Please, don't ever do that again.", he said, both tired and annoyed by her crazy antics.
Then Queen Ophiuca arrived next, riding one of her giant snakes and stopped next to the lotus ninja. "You know. You could've just ride with me, Ren.", she said as she got off her snake as it vanished into data. Ren politely rejected her offer, "No thank you. I'll get used to it. Don't want to disappoint her.". "Well, I'm sorry you have to put up wi-", she then saw the one person she knew too well.
"MEGA MAN!", she slithered towards him and tackled him, wrapping her arms and her tail around him. "OH I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN!", the snake charmer said happily as she hugged him tighter, even nuzzled his cheeks, much to Harp Note's envy. His face began to turn blue like his armor. "C-can't…..br-eathe…", he choked as he tapped her tail. "Oh, sorry.", Queen Ophiuca blushed as she released him from her hug. Mega Man fell down to his knees, trying to regain all the air he lost from the bear-er, snake hug.
Meanwhile, Nora was curiously looking at a white rook piece before picking it up and started dancing with it, "I'm queen of the castle~. I'm queen of the castle~", she sang cheerfully. "Nora!", Ren called out to her. "Coming!~", she saluted and went to him, leaving everyone even more dumbstruck. "Did she just rode an Ursa all the way here? Along with a Snake Faunus riding a giant snake?", Blake broke the silence. Yang was about to speak again when they heard another rustling noise. That is until they saw Camo Leon zipping towards the ruins with Pyrrha on his back. Right behind them was the rampaging Deathstalker flailing its claws at them.
While Jaune tried to call out to Pyrrha and Camo Leon, Ruby jumped off the branch to meet up with her sister. "Ruby!", the blonde brawler called out to her. "Yang!", the red reaper returned her sister's greeting. "Nora!", the gingerhead, jumped in between them for no reason.
Camo Leon went into a screeching halt as they reached the temple ruins, breathing heavily from the supercharged running, "Well. This is our stop. Thank you for choosing Camo Leon Express!", he saluted as Pyrrha dizzily got off him.
"You're…...w-welcome.", the spartan was practically feeling nauseous. She's obviously not used to such running speed, but she was at least grateful they didn't end up as Grimm chow. Camo Leon sweatdropped until he spotted his friends grouped together in the middle of the ruins. "GUYS!", he ran towards the gang and gave them all one big hug. "I MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH!", he hugged them so hard that all their faces turned blue. "Y-yeah! G-good to…. see you ag-gain, Camo L-Leon…..", Mega Man tapped him lightly, which Camo Leon released them out of his bear hug.
"Did they just brought a Deathstalker out here?", Blake asked again, making Yang bursting with flames of fury, literally. Her eyes even turn from lilac to red. "UGH! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! CAN EVERYONE PLEASE SHUT UP FOR LIKE TWO SECONDS BEFORE SOMETHING CRAZY HAPPENS AGAIN!?".
Too bad not everyone could stay still for even a second, as Nora AND Camo Leon could attest to. Once two seconds are up, Camo Leon decided to check out the relics, which are the chess pieces. "Look at me! I'm a knight with a royal steed!", Camo Leon was balancing a white knight chess piece on his helmet, making Queen Ophiuca facepalm. "Please put that back.", she said sternly, the chameleon kid obliged.
"So. Harp Note. How did you end up in the sky with her?", Mega Man asked the pink songstress. "Oh, you mean Ruby. Well, she thought it'll be a great idea for the four of us to ride a Giant Nevermore to get a better view of the forest to find the temple.", Harp Note then sighed, "Unfortunately, she forgot to come up with a landing strategy, and that's how we ended up like that.". Mega Man sweatdropped, "Wow. Sounds like you two are having one crazy day.", Omega-Xis commented. "Tell me about it.", Lyra rolled her eyes.
Mega Man then realized something, "Wait! What do you mean four of you?", he asked, from what he recalled, the only three people he knew so far are Sonia, Lyra, and then she mentioned Ruby, so who's the fourth person?
"Oh no.", Harp Note looked up, making Mega Man do the same out of curiosity. "Wait. You mean the 'Nevermore' is, that!?", he pointed at the giant flying crow-like Grimm.
The Nevermore is a massive pitch black creature with a white bone mask with red eyes and red linings, it also had talons on its wings. It also has a long conical tail instead of a flat one like typical crows. From what Mega Man saw through his visor, there is a white clad girl hanging for dear life on it's foot talon. "Why did she leave me!?", Weiss yelled in fear.
"I said jump!", Ruby did told her the cue earlier. "She's gonna fall.", Blake pointed out the stupidity of the plan. "She'll be fine.", Ruby said assuringly.
"Huh. I didn't know your school offers Grimm riding activities.", said Camo Leon. "Um. They don't.", Pyrrha corrected him. "She's falling.", Ren said flatly, as Weiss did.
Jaune, who just got out of his situation, jumped off the tree to grab the falling heiress like any shining knight would do to a princess. "Just dropping in?", he asked with a cool tone. Just when Weiss looked at him confusedly that they both realized that they're still a plenty of feet above air, "Oh Oum!", Jaune paled, as they both continued falling. But for some reason, they didn't crash into the ground, but rather onto the arms of a flaming Minotaur.
"Sup.", C! Taurus Fire greeted with a gruff voice. "GAAH! IT'S A MINOTAUR!", Jaune freaked out as he fell of his arms. "A talking minotaur!?", Weiss panicked too, readying her rapier, or the Myrtenaster as Harp Note remembered. "Whoa! Put that down, will ya!? And the name's Taurus Fire!", C! Taurus Fire held his hands in defense.
As the heiress still aimed her weapon at the minotaur, Pyrrha was thrown in front of the gang, courtesy of the Deathstalker. "Great! The gang's all here! Now we can all die together!", Yang blurted her sarcasm. "Not if I can help it!", Ruby pulled out Crescent Rose and charged towards the Deathstalker. "Ruby! Wait!", her sister's words fell on deaf ears as the red reaper used her scythe's recoil blast to charge towards the scorpion-like Grimm. The Deathstalker smacked her back with it's pincers. "This does not look good.", Mega Man crossed his arms.
"STAR BREAK!"
"BLAZING LEO!"
Mega Man transformed into his Blazing Leo form (This evolved Star Break form of Fire Leo is specialized in long-ranged bombardment. Now it has long vulcan cannons mounted on his chests. He has a rectangular missile launcher attached to his left shoulder and a foldable artillery cannon on the right. Both his arms have flamethrowers resembling Leo Kingdom's heads. His leg armor is heavily reinforced with missile launchers and hover jets.).
Everyone, except Team Star Force, looked at him with mixed reactions. Weiss and Jaune had their jaws dropped, Blake, Pyrrha and Ren were mildly surprised, Yang and Nora on the other hand were impressed at the guy. BL Mega Man saw this coming, but he didn't have time for this. "ARTILLERY BOMBER!", his shoulder cannon unfolded to fire two flaming projectiles, which exploded at the Deathstalker's face. The Grimm screeched in pain.
"Ruby! Get back here!", Yang called out to her little sister as she ran towards her. Ruby, who thankfully responded appropriately.
Too bad they all completely forgot about the Nevermore, that shot some feathers which caught the red reaper's cape and blocked the blonde brawler's path.
"Ruby! Hurry!", she called out her. "I'm trying!", Ruby was struggling to pull her cape off the snagging feather. The Deathstalker used the chance raise it's tail, readying to slam it's stinger on the entrapped reaper. "RUBY!", Yang's fears began to escalated at the sight of her sister, who's reaching Death's door, until a larger red blur sped past her and pushed the Deathstalker away from Ruby.
Using the flame exhausts on his arms as propulsion, C! Taurus Fire gripped the Deathstalker's mandibles as hard as he could. "ALRIGHT, YA BIG UGLY BEAST! BEING A MONSTER SCORPION AND TRYING TO KILL US IS ONE THING, BUT TAURUS FIRE WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR TRYING TO KILL THE LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD WHO IS STUCK TO THE GROUND BY YOUR STUPID, UGLY, CROW!.", Ruby was staring in total shock at the minotaur roaring angrily at the Deathstalker's face.
"MMMRRRGGGHHHH!", he then used all of his raw strength, to lift the Deathstalker up. Everyone jawdropped at the sight, except for Team Star Force, since they're familiar with Taurus Fire's super strength. "RAGING SUPLEX!", C! Taurus Fire slammed the Grimm to the ground. He then slammed his flaming hands on the Grimm's head, knocking it out.
"Whoa!", Ruby stared in awe. "You are so childish.", Ruby swore she heard Weiss's voice as the heiress walked towards her. "Weiss?", Ruby tried to ask, but the heiress carried on her speech, "And dim-witted, and hyperactive.", she then turned to look at Ruby, "And don't get me started on your fighting style.", she scolded. Then her tone went softer as she spoke, "And I suppose I can be a bit…", she hesitated for a bit, before resuming, "-difficult.". C! Taurus Fire raised an eyebrow. "But if we are going to do this, we're going to have to do this together. So if you quit trying to show off, I'll be-", Weiss bit her lips, "-nicer.". "I'm not trying to show off.", Ruby was confused by her complicated sentences, "I just want you to know that I can do this.". "You're fine.", Weiss complimented before walking away. "Normal knees.", Ruby muttered happily, knowing Harp Note had proven her right about her partnership with Weiss.
Yang ran towards her to give her a warm sisterly hug. "Thank Oum you're alright, Rubes.", Yang said with relief. "Well. I had to thank Harp Note for helping me and Weiss find our way around the forest.", Ruby's eyes began to sparkle as she spoke gleefully about Harp Note, "You should've seen that amazing Huntress in action! She was like HIYAA! WATCHAAA!", Ruby started making fighting poses and noises. Harp Note giggled in amusement. Yang looked at Harp Note while wrapping her arm around her sister's neck, "You must be Harp Note.", she said. "Yeah. And you must be her sister, Yang.", said Harp Note, while resting her elbow on her guitar. "Yup. The name's Yang Xiao Long!", she planted her thumb on her chest. "Thanks for looking after her. She can be a total heap of trouble once she starts moving.", Yang chuckled as she ruffled Ruby's hair. The red reaper pushed her grip off before pouting, "Hey! I'm not full of trouble!", she said.
C! Taurus Fire dusted his hands before changing back to Camo Leon. "THAT MINOTAUR WAS YOU!?", Jaune was the most surprised. "Yup.", Camo Leon crossed his arm and replied casually. "Just how many transformations do you have!?", the blonde knight asked. "Um. Thousands? I don't know, I lost count on how many transformations do I have.", he shrugged, making Jaune jawdropped, before shrugging it off himself. "So what do we do now? That Nevermore is still circling above us.", Jaune said. "First of all, we just need to finish our objective.", Weiss pointed at the chess pieces on the pedestal, "Which is to grab an artifact and head for the cliffs.", said Ruby. "We can't waste time fighting these Grimm. We'll just try to outrun them.", Ruby said. "Run and live. That I can agree with.", Jaune nodded. "Then we'll escort you guys out of this forest.", said FB Mega Man. The whole Team Star Force nodded.
Ruby grabbed the white knight piece, while Jaune picked the white rook piece. They smiled at each other in approval. The Deathstalker, who just woke up, screeched with pure rage, not liking the idea of being KO'd by a minotaur. "We have to go!", said Ren.
….

Everyone ran (or in BL Mega Man's case, hovering) towards the cliffs, but the Nevermore flew past them and perched atop the highest pillar across the bridge, which was the only way to reach the cliffs. Everyone had to hide behind the pillars as the Nevermore screeched. "Well that's just great.", Yang groaned. "Well. It can't get any worse, right?", Camo Leon jinxed it, as a Deathstalker crawled towards the gang. "Oh, Man. Run!", Jaune yelled. Mega Man hovered in front of the Deathstalker, "LEO BURNERS!", and aimed his arm cannons and blasted flames at the Grimm to stun it. The Nevermore began to leave it's resting place and flew about, ready to attack. "Nora! Distract it!", Ren commanded his partner. "You too, Queen Ophiuca!", BL Mega Man commanded his teammate, who nodded in approval. "BATTLE CARD! VOLTIC EYE!", Queen Ophiuca transformed her arm into a sniper cannon to shoot electric lasers at the crow Grimm. Nora pulled out her Magnhild in it's grenade launcher form and fired some heart grenades at the Nevermore.
The Deathstalker attempted to strike the two snipers. Only to get struck by Ren and Blake. "CHAMELEON'S TONGUE!", Camo Leon fired a grappling wire from his wrist to grab Nora out of the way. They all ran towards the bridge. Ren, Pyrrha, Harp Note and Camo Leon fired their respective projectiles at the Deathstalker as they all carried on running along the bridge. Sadly, they all failed to notice the Nevermore flying back towards the gang and smashed the bridge. While the students managed to avoid falling to their doom, Team Star Force wasn't so lucky.
Pause BGM
"NO!", Ruby shouted in fear as she saw the team of professional, but unconscious Huntsmen falling into the abyss. "We got to save them!", she pleaded. "Ruby, we don't have time for this! We need to deliver the relic before sundown!", Weiss said while shooting lighting dust with her Myrtenaster at the Nevermore. "We can't just leave them for dead! We Huntresses are supposed to save lives!", Ruby retorted while shooting at the Nevermore with Crescent Rose. "But we're not Huntresses yet!", the heiress continued her argument. "Danger doesn't care if we're not Huntresses yet! Besides, I owe Harp Note for helping us finding the temple, don't you want to return her favor too!?", she asked.
The heiress gritted her teeth for a minute, she wanted to finish the initiation as soon as possible. If she fails, she'll have to return to Atlas and enrolled there instead. But she made her choice to enroll into Beacon Academy, to become a Huntress. To her, failure is not an option. But she did owe Harp Note for guiding her to the temple ruins. She sighed, "Fine. But we can't find them with that Nevermore in the way.", Weiss conceded. Ruby grinned in agreement as she cocked Crescent Rose, 'Don't worry, Harp Note. We'll find you.', she swore to her life on it. If she can't save those Huntsmen, at least she can provide them a proper burial.
…
"Nnggghh.", Mega Man shook his head as he opened his eyes. He then woke up to find his team lying on the ground, scattered in the same area. "Is everyone alright?", he asked. Thankfully everyone got up, though weakly.
"Yeah. We're good.", Harp Note scratched her head.
"Same here.", Queen Ophiuca shook her head.
"Still alive.", Camo Leon leaped onto his feet.
"Oww. This is the second time we all pass out in a row.", Queen Ophiuca complained. "At least we didn't split up like last time.", Camo Leon replied. "Was that supposed to be a good thing?", Queen Ophiuca folded her arms in annoyance.
"Where are we now?", Omega-Xis asked as Mega Man stood up to look around. The place was a bit foggy, but he did noticed a few pillars, both intact and destroyed, which he assumed to be parts of the bridge that was destroyed by the Nevermore. "I'm so gonna kill that $#¥% crow when we get back up there!", Camo Leon clenched his fist in anger at the sneak attack. Queen Ophiuca had to smack him in the back with her tail for swearing, "Language, Camo Leon-kun!", she scolded.
"Um. Guys. I think we have bigger problems to worry about.", Harp Note pointed at at a huge pack of Beowulves and their Alphas. But then the creatures, including the Alphas suddenly backing away, as in positioning themselves to give way to someone, which turn out to be a rather, unique Beowulf.
This Beowulf was as large as an Alpha, but what makes it stood out from a typical Alpha is that it's spikes had red bony tips on it's back and shoulders. It had red spiky chains on it's wrists. It also had three large claws on it's front paws.
"Looks like we just met their Big Boss of the pack. Get ready, everyone!", Mega Man commanded everyone into their battle stances.
When suddenly, a debris of the bridge fell from the sky and crushed some of the Beowulves. Everyone, including the Grimm, looked at the debris dumbfoundedly, before looking at each other. "Uh. Wasn't me.", Camo Leon smiled innocently.
*OOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWHHHHHH!*
The unique Beowulf simply responded by howling loudly, signalling the pack to charge towards Team Star Force.
Playing BGM (Mega Man X8: Vs 8 Boss)
"STAR BREAK!"
"BLIZZARD PEGASUS!"
Mega Man transformed into his Blizzard Pegasus form. (This upgraded form of Ice Pegasus has larger wings with detachable feather drones for an all-range attack. His Mega Buster on his right arm is replaced with the head of Pegasus Magic. His left arm can project an energy shield, leaving his Pegasus Buster free for shooting or slashing.).
"PEGASUS SLIDERS!", BP Mega Man flew above ground to deploy the feather drones and blasted ice beams at some Beowulves, freezing some. "My turn!", Harp Note cried as she dodged some attacks from the pack. "AXE BASS!", her guitar formed axe blades at the body and she swung it at the Beowulves, leaving heaps of black bloodied mess behind. A Beowulf swung it's claw at her, but she blocked it with her guitar, kicked the Grimm away and slashed it's torso off.
"NOISE CHANGE!"
"CROWN NOISE!"
Harp Note transformed into her Crown Noise armor (the armor consists of a gold crown with a red dome. Her dress armor is green with a gold chest armor. Her gloves are green with black shoulders and white hands separated by yellow bracelets. She also wore a red cloak with white trim similar to Crown Thunder. Her boots were gold. Her guitar had a cartoon skull for the body and a crown for the headstock.).
"SKULL MINIONS!", Crown Harp Note plucked her guitar to summon the three armed skulls. The skulls, equipped with a hammer,a spear and a crossbow respectively, began striking the Grimm.
Thanks to Harp Note's training in mastering the Ace Program, she was able to utilize almost all Noise Changes perfectly. "BALL LIGHTING!", Harp Note plucked her guitar once again to summon electric orbs and zapped a small pack of the Beowulves. This unfortunately, left her vulnerable to the unique Beowulf's sneak attack. Said Grimm threw his chain and wrapped Harp Note's leg. "Hey!", she cried as the Beowulf pulled his chain and by extension, Crown Harp Note, towards him. The Grimm then locked his jaws on the songstress before throwing her aside. "Argh!", she yelled in pain as she clutch her hip,where the Beowulf bit her.
"SONIA!", BP Mega Man shouted in fear at watching his girlfriend being injured by this mysterious creature. "LEAVE HER ALONE! ICE SABER!", his Pegasus Buster formed an ice blade to slash the Beowulf, but the creature blocked the attack with his claw. He then tried to counterattack with his free claw, but BP Mega Man quickly dodged it and kicked the Beowulf, sending it rolling backwards. The Beowulf didn't take it kindly and roared. "Gotta get itchin to send them packing.", Camo Leon was slicing away some Beowulves with a Wide Sword and a Long Sword.
"CAMO CHANGE!"
"CANCER BUBBLE!"
Camo Leon transformed into Cancer Bubble. "Time to flush 'em out!", C! Cancer Bubble snipped his claws, and began swinging them forward. "TIDAL WAVE!", the crab FM-ian summoned a massive wave of water which flushed the Beowulves into some sharp parts of debris, killing them. "You're all washed up! Woot!", C! Cancer Bubble jumped away from a lunging Alpha. "ARGH!", only to get struck behind by another Alpha Beowulf and then got dogpiled by them. Queen Ophiuca saw him injured and was pissed. "NOBODY HURTS MY LEON! QUICK SERPENT!", she dashed towards the pile of Grimm and formed a green barrier, knocked away the pile of Beowulves, and grabbed the battered Crab FM-ian. "Are you alright?", she asked him.
"O-one second….", C! Cancer Bubble weakly held up a card. "BATTLE CARD! RECOVERY!", the card disappeared and he was covered in sparkles. He was rejuvenated, "Much better. Thanks, Prez.", he said as he got off Queen Ophiuca's arms, but not before, "*BURP!*", belching out more sparkles. Queen Ophiuca giggled in response while he changed back to Camo Leon.
….…
After dealing with the two gigantic Grimm, the eight Huntsmen managed to climb down the abyss. "Well whaddya know? This pit isn't bottomless after all.", Yang commented. "They should've fallen around here somewhere, I know it.", Ruby said as she went ahead. "Please be alive. Please be alive. Please be alive.", she chanted as she ran, worried about what happened to Harp Note and her team. Then she heard gunshots nearby and examined the area. The red reaper sighed in relief when she spotted the Huntress along with her team combatting a pack of Beowulves. 'Phew. Thank goodness they're alright.', Ruby was about to enter the fray and arm Crescent Rose, but was tugged in the hood by her partner, who dragged her behind some large rocks where the others are.
"Weiss! What are you doing!?", she asked the heiress in shock. Why would she try to stop her from helping the team of Huntsmen. "Do you even know what they're fighting against?", Weiss pointed at the unique Beowulf deflecting Camo Leon's bullets by spinning his chains. "Uh. A big….. Alpha...Beowulf?", Ruby raised her eyebrow in confusion. Sure she's read all about the Beowulves and the Alphas, so what's the difference between that?
"Not just any Beowulf. That's Fenrir! He's a Bound Beowulf!", Weiss tried her best to whisper angrily at the red reaper. "A what?", Ruby tilted her head, still confused. She didn't know Grimm had genders. Weiss was nearly losing her patience, "Don't tell me you don't know what a Bound Grimm is?". Ruby nodded, making her pinched her temple.
Blake eventually explained to them, "There are Grimm that have been living for thousands of years ago, or even longer. But few of them evolved beyond the strength and intelligence of an average Grimm. They're called Bound Grimm.". "Oooohhh.", Ruby nodded. "I've read about them too. I thought they're just legends. I can't believe we're actually seeing one in person!", Jaune said nervously. "Well if you say they're strong, then I call dibs!", Yang punched her fists together, arming her gauntlets, or Ember Celicas as she told Mega Man. "Are you insane!?", Weiss called her out, "Bound Grimm are so powerful, not even an Atlesian army could eliminate one!". "Whoa…", the blonde brawler widened her eyes in awe. 'All the more reason to fight it, when I become a Huntress.', she thought. "Then what about them!? They don't stand a chance against him!", she pointed at Team Star Force, where Harp Note was being thrown to a cliff by Fenrir's chain, before parrying Mega Man's Sword arm.

"Gah! There's too many of them!", Queen Ophiuca complained as she and the rest of Team Star Force were being cornered by the pack, with Fenrir growling smugly. "In that case, let's use the trump card!", Mega Man looked at them. That made Camo Leon smug excitedly, "OH FINALLY! I'M READY TO LET LOOSE ALREADY!", he pumped his fists. "Alright!", Queen Ophiuca nodded. "Let's do it!, Harp Note smirked.
Playing BGM (UNISONIA by TRUE)
"TRUE FINALIZE!", both Mega Man and Harp Note shouted in unison.
"CRIMSON JOKER!"
"JET BLACK ACE!"
Both Mega Man and Harp Note were shrouded by Noise, before it disappeared and they both transformed into Crimson Joker and Jet Black Ace respectively.
(Crimson Joker is the evolved form of Red Joker. He had reinforced armor on the chest, arms, legs, including some armor on the upper parts of his limbs. The shoulder containers are larger, but not too large for his arms to carry. Plus his helmet had J shaped protrusions facing backwards on his earpieces, as well as a larger curved horn on the forehead. Both his armguards have a large version of Omega-Xis's head with yellow eyes. He now has four Noise drones instead of two, which can be stored on the shoulders when not in use.)
(Jet Black Ace is the evolved form of Black Ace that is primarily more black than dark grey. Her skirt had a triangular edge at the back. Her heart-shaped breastplate is now blocky, but aerodynamic. Her wings of Noise are slightly larger than her Black Ace form. Her boots had fins made of blue Noise that are also foldable. Her helmet retained her blue visor, but it had the pink buns replaced with black triangular fins. Her grey armguards have a small fin each. Her guitar now has a stylized A-shaped body with a wing on the left side.)
"Our turn!", said Camo Leon and Queen Ophiuca.
"ENHANCEMENT!", Camo Leon shouted as electric sparks surrounded him. Once it disappeared, Camo Leon emerged into his Enhanced form,
"ENHANCED CAMO LEON!"
(His appearance is essentially similar to his regular form, only darker green in color. His metal head blade is replaced with three green energy horns. His tail had four energy spikes on the tip. His back also had pairs of energy spikes.)
"MEDUSA MODE!", Queen Ophiuca transformed into her terrifyingly badass form as she hissed.
(Her pupils turned from red to yellow and slitted in shape. Her twintails have spawned three small snakes each. Both her arms turned into snakes as well. Her form wouldn't be exactly complete without a forked tongue.)
The fellow Huntsmen in-training gave out mixed reactions.
Ren and Blake were mildly surprised.
Jaune, Weiss and Pyrrha jawdropped at the sight.
Yang whistled with awe, "Woo! Now that's badass!"
Ruby and Nora looked in excitement, though in Ruby's case, she was amazed to see Huntsmen changing armor in a whim.
…
They all nodded at each other and assumed their battle stances, "Yosh! Ikuzo mina!(Let's go, guys)", Crimson Joker said. Everyone yelled out their signature battle cry.
"WAVE BATTLE!"
"RIDE ON!"
Ruby's silver eyes were sparkling at the awesome battle cry.
"DREAD LAZER!"
"GORGON EYES!"
Crimson Joker clutched his Mega Buster to fire a powerful beam of energy, while Queen Ophiuca fired a volley of lasers from the snakes' and her own eyes. The lasers vaporized a few Beowulves, but Fenrir managed to dodge all of them. E! Camo Leon smirked as he dashed forward. Jet Black Ace unfolded her wings and flew behind his tail.
"CHAMELEON'S TONGUE!", E! Camo Leon fired both grappling wires at two Alpha Beowulves,
"Heads up, Harpy!", and swung them into the air.
"WING BLADE!", Jet Black Ace enlarged her wings with more Noise, then flew towards the airborne Alphas and sliced them in half. "Take this! LOCK-ON SWORD!", she transformed her guitar into a double energy greatsword, slicing more Beowulves at blinding speed. Fenrir nearly got grazed in the skull by the attack. The Bound Beowulf roared in anger and threw his chains at Crimson Joker. "Big mistake!", He predicted the attack and grabbed the chain. Then he pulled it and Fenrir towards him. "GIGANT SWING!", Crimson Joker swung his arm at Fenrir's chest, sending him flying, but Fenrir managed to land on all fours. He had to ran around again when Crimson Joker's Noise Disks began flying erratically to slice and blast him. But the disks only managed to hit the lesser Beowulves.
"SNAKE LEGION! GARTER SNAKES!", Queen Ophiuca summoned her snakes. With a wave of her hand, er, snake arm, the snakes slithered towards the Beowulves, some of them bit and wrapped their necks, until cracking noises can be heard and the Beowulves disintegrated.
"Now just one more to go.", Crimson Joker looked at Fenrir, who was backing away from the heroes. "What's the matter? Can't fight without your pack?", E! Camo Leon taunted.
The Bound Beowulf had never felt so insulted for his weakness. Throughout his life, he fought and killed so many Huntsmen and managed to live to tell the tale. But he never expected this, let alone falling into the losing side of the fight. Maybe fate decided that he had enough? He knew that if he shall die today, he shall die with all the glory he had. With a mighty roar, the Bound Grimm spun his loosened chains.
"I'll take that as a no.", Ophiuca sighed. "Wolfy's got guts. I like it.", said Camo. "Alright everyone! Let's finish this!", Crimson Joker cried.
E! Camo Leon and Queen Ophiuca dashed towards Fenrir, who tried to strike them with his claws and chains, but they dodged them. Queen Ophiuca fired a barrage of eye lasers at the Bound Beowulf, who deflected them with his chains. "ELECTRO STINGER!", using his enhanced speed, E! Camo Leon sprinted around while slicing through Fenrir's chains. "QUICK SERPENT!", Queen Ophiuca formed an energy barrier to ram Fenrir into the air. "ELECTRIC BUZZSAW!", E! Camo Leon curled up, conjured up his tail blade and rolled towards the Beowulf at blinding speed, slashing him repeatedly while Queen Ophiuca rammed the Bound Grimm in conjunction. "Imada!(Now!)", The snake charmer signalled him for their finishing move.
"TWIN,", they flew at blinding speed, becoming streaks of yellow and green light.
.
"REPTILE,", they flew even closer to Fenrir,
"STRIKE!", and landed a solid hit together, destroying all of Fenrir's limbs.
"Ikuzo! (Let's go!) Harp Note!", Crimson Joker told Jet Black Ace, who nodded and they both flew towards the limbless Beowulf, attempting to kill the beast once and for all.
Crimson Joker stabbed his Mega Bunker onto the Grimm, followed by Jet Black Ace putting her palm on it next to the Mega Bunker.
"BLACK HOLE,", Crimson Joker spoke as Jet Black Ace produced a small black hole from her palm.
"GAIA,", followed by Jet Black Ace as Crimson Joker transformed his Bunker into the Mega Buster and charged it up.
"ERAZER!", Crimson Joker fired a massive beam upwards, combined with Jet Black Ace's Darkness Hole to empower the beam with antimatter.
The beam was so powerful and bright, that the hiding students were forced to take cover behind the rocks. The beam was even close to where Ozpin and Glynda were standing. Though unlike Glynda, Ozpin's reaction was milder than her. In fact, he was almost unfazed by it.
Fenrir howled in pain as he slowly disintegrated into nothingness. The beam disappeared as well. The Bound Beowulf was no more. The heroes landed on the ground and reverted to their regular forms.
End BGM
Before they could rejoice, they noticed something floating and glowing in the air. Fenrir's place was a rather familiar card, which immediately flew into their chests. Their interfaces revealed it to be a new Battle Card, a Mega Battle Card to be precise, showing a picture of Fenrir. "We…..WE DID IT!", Mega Man tiredly raised his arm victoriously.

Everyone did their signature victory poses.

…..
The students were completely baffled by the display of fireworks. "WOW! THAT WAS AMAZING!", Ruby jumped in awe. "IM-IMPOSSIBLE! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE!", Weiss was completely confused and frustrated. "Come on, Ice Queen. They just killed a Bound Beowulf and you're complaining about it?", Yang put her hand on her hips. "I'm not complaining! I'm just saying it's impossible for a Bound Grimm to be killed by four Huntsmen!", Weiss looked at Yang and crossed her arms. "With super-cool transforming armor no less!", Ruby rushed towards the heiress in ire. "Not even the Atlesian Military would've developed something THAT advanced!", Weiss continued to argue. Blake eventually got between the two girls. "Look guys, instead of wasting our time with arguments, why don't we just ask them.", Blake suggested. They all thought for a second. "*sigh* Fine. We'll ask.", Weiss said dejectedly.
The students then walked out of the hiding place to talk to the Huntsmen team. Only to find no sign of them at all. "Where'd they go?", Ruby looked around frantically.
….
The heroes, finally escaped the commotion, unfused from their Wizards, revealing their civilian forms. "Phew. As much as we like to stay, I'd rather not have it with the paparazzi.", said Sonia, breathing tiredly. "Or risking our identity leaking.", said Lyra via her partner's Hunter-VG. "Or getting my shoes dirty.", Luna commented offhandedly, earning 'seriously?' looks from her friends. "Well in any case, we should lay low while we get out of this forest and find a place to stay. Then we'll figure out how to get out of this dimension.", said Geo.
"I'm afraid that won't be necessary.", a new voice stopped the heroes in their tracks as a man named Ozpin approached them.
The team had no idea how to deal with this, until, "You didn't see aaaanyyyyythiiiiiiingg~.", Leon waved his hands, as if he was pretending to be invisible, earning facepalms from his friends. Ozpin simply blinked.

The gang were sitting in what appears to be Ozpin's office. There was complete silence in the air, with only signs of sounds made by turning gears inside the office walls. None of them said a word since they came here, thanks to his deputy headmistress, Glynda Goodwitch giving the teens a stoic stare. Given how she took her job seriously, it's not surprising that not even Leon had the guts to start a conversation.
The silence was broken when they heard elevator doors open, and the Headmaster walked out of it with his signature mug of coffee and a plate of cookies on his hands.
"Hopefully my deputy didn't intimidate you with her, let's say, stoicism.", Ozpin said humorously as he sat down and laid the contents on his desk, where the heroes were sitting. His remark earned him a groan from his deputy, and soft muffled laughs from the human otherworlders, only to quickly stopped by the Huntress's same cold glare. "It was a jest, Glynda.", Ozpin told her, who sighed in response. He then gently pushed the plate of cookies to the otherworlders, "Would you like some?".
They were a little suspicious of the man's generosity, but nonetheless, Leon and then Sonia made their first move and cautiously grabbed a cookie, and took a bite out of the sweet treat. "Mmm. Chocolate chip!", Leon commented.
Ozpin chuckled at the young man's antics. "I'd figured this kind of therapy would calm your nervousness, since it proved effective on young Miss Rose.", Ozpin mentioned as he sipped his cup. "Wait! You mean Ruby Rose?", Sonia paused for clarification. "Yes. I am the Headmaster of this Academy after all.", the man placed his chin on his hands. "Though I didn't recall seeing you four in the start of the initiation.", Those words make them froze, should they tell them about their predicament?
"Don't worry. I just wish to know who you are and what are you doing there?", he declared. He seemed like a nice guy so far, even offering cookies to some strangers. Then his eyes narrowed, "And how did you achieve such powerful transformations on the spot?", the team were stunned by the question, but Geo knew that since this is Ozpin's initiation test, he probably had ways to observe his students. Eventually Geo sighed and spoke,
"I'm Geo Stelar.", he then pointed at his friends, "These guys are my friends, Sonia Strumm, Luna Platz and Leon Ampere.", everyone waved their hands as Geo called them. "And as for the transformations, it's all thanks to them.", Geo nodded at everyone to pull out their Hunters.
"WIZARD ON!", they spoke the command input. Their Wizards emerged out of their devices. Ozpin simply blinked in response, though his deputy had a wide-eyed expression and jolted back slightly with a gasp. "This is my Wizard, Omega-Xis.", Geo glanced at his partner. "Yo.", the AM-ian waved his hand.
"Lyra.", Sonia spoke next.
"Camo.", then Leon
"Ophiuca and Vogue.", then Luna.
Silence filled the air for a minute.
"I…...see.", Ozpin nodded, before taking another sip of coffee. "Huh. You took this pretty well.", Omega-Xis crossed his arms, "Unlike the witch of the North here.", he jerked his thumb at Glynda, who was readying her crop at the AM-ian for the remark. "Calm down, Glynda. He hasn't done anything physical, yet.", Ozpin told her sternly, she lowered her crop in annoyance. The Headmaster then looked at Geo's Wizard, "Mr. Omega-Xis, while I appreciate your sense of humor, please refrain from insulting my deputy.".
"Sorry about this mutt here. He's a little, foul-mouthed.", Lyra pushed Omega-Xis aside, who just huffed in response. Geo and Sonia simply sighed at their Wizards' antics.
"So. Do you wish to fill us in on your situation?", Ozpin asked them.
Geo told the Headmaster on how they ended up on this dimension or Remnant as Ozpin called this planet, thanks to a mysterious portal that sucked them and dumped them here. Ozpin said he didn't know about the portal, earning disappointed looks from the otherworlders.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help you with that problem, Mr. Stelar. But maybe the least I can do is provide you with an accommodation for you and your companions.", the heroes gave a hopeful looks at Ozpin's words. "How would you like to become students of Beacon Academy?", that question made the youngsters and Glynda gasped.
"You see. In Remnant, the Creatures of Grimm, the black creatures you fought in Emerald Forest, have become increasingly abundant to the point of driving humanity to extinction. They're creatures made of pure malice, negativity, evil. They only exist to kill. Not to sustain themselves, just kill. Therefore, came the existence of Huntsmen, people who are trained to exterminate these creatures. Beacon Academy is just one of those schools that train the future generation of Huntsmen.", to say they're baffled was an understatement. A world filled with malicious creatures trying to kill people for no reason at all. That's even worse than Viruses, since they can't harm humans directly, unless they're modified by circumstances.
"Ozpin are you sure about this? Having a fifteen year old in our school is bad enough, but a team of teens with alien partners is basically-", Ozpin cut her off, "I'm sure.". He then glanced at the teens again, "By becoming students of my academy, we will handle most of your privileges. We just want your choice, that's all.", They looked at each other for discussion.

"Cardin Winchester, Russel Thrush, Dove Bronzewing and Sky Lark.", the four aforementioned students walked onto the stage of the auditorium as Ozpin declared a team. "The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you four will be known as, Team CRDL(Cardinal).", the holoprojected screen displayed their team arrangements, "Led by, Cardin Winchester.", a round of applause echoed over their team formation as CRDL walked off the stage.
"Jaune Arc, Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as, Team JNPR(Juniper). Led by, Jaune Arc.". Jaune gasped at the revelation, "Wait, what?", he asked. "Congratulations, young man.", Ozpin praised. Pyrrha playfully punched his shoulder, only to knock him over by accident.
"And finally, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as, Team RWBY(Ruby). Led by, Ruby Rose.", Weiss looked at the newly made team leader in shock, she wasn't expecting a complete idiot like her to lead her team. "I'm so proud of you, sis!", the blonde brawler hugged her little sister with joy. They all walked down the auditorium.
"Wait. Before you leave, I have a special announcement to make.", the students groaned at the sudden delay. "*ahem*", Glynda cleared her throat, silencing the audience. "Thank you.", he said to his deputy. He then turned to the audience, "As I was saying, starting this year, we will have four transfer students from Haven Academy today.", the students began talking to each other about the subject. "Transfer students? From another academy?", Weiss rubbed her chin. "I hope they got super cool weapons!", Ruby hopped cheerfully. "Of course you do, Rubes.", Yang rolled her eyes in amusement of her happy-go-lucky sister. Blake noticed the Headmaster nodded at the far side of the curtains, "Guess we're about to find out."
Out of the curtains came Geo, Sonia, Luna and Leon.
"Geo Stelar, Sonia Strumm, Luna Platz, and Leon Ampere will be representing,", Ozpin paused as he thinks of a name for the team of 'transfer' students.
"Team GLAS(Galaxy). Led by, Geo Stelar.", the aforementioned teammates smiled at each other.
"Guess you'll always be team leader, eh Geo?", Leon commented. "Then I'll do my best to lead our new team, like I always do.", Geo chuckled as they both gripped each other's hands. "I hope that all of you will provide them with the best hospitality this year. You're all dismissed.", Ozpin said to the audience before walking away.
"Those are totally hot guys.", Yang whistled at Geo's pretty boy figure and Leon's slightly hunky one. "They looked so cool!", Ruby's eyes sparkled. Weiss rolled her eyes at her new teammates' antics. Blake simply squinted at the team. "What's the matter, Blakey? Cat got your tongue?", Yang joked. "Don't you think those guys looked familiar to you?", the blonde brawler took another gaze at them. "Nope. Why'd you ask?", Yang popped the 'p' in 'nope', Yang folded her arms above her head. The black ninja shook her head, "Nothing. Probably my imagination."
"Team Galaxy? More like Team Glass if you ask me.", Nora pointed out the acronym for the team name. "Sometimes I wished the academies have better team naming skills.", Ren sighed. "Wow, guys. I don't really think I'd make a great leader to you all.", Jaune didn't feel confident about it. But his partner reassured him, "Nonsense, Jaune. You made an excellent strategy to kill the Deathstalker. In our eyes, you'll make a great leader."

….
After the team declaration ceremony, team GLAS walked into the dorms.
"According to the Headmaster, each team gets to share one room.", said Sonia, before her face turned red like a tomato at the next part, "Regardless of... gender...", the whole team blushed at the part.
"Oh ho ho ho. Looks like a really good chance to be lovey dovey, eh kid?", Omega-Xis playfully teased his partner, making him blushed harder.
Lyra appeared and smacked him the back with her paper fan, "DAMMIT, YOU MUTT! THEY'RE NOT READY FOR THAT YET!", she yelled at him, while blushing like her partner. Sonia hushed her, "Lyra! Keep it down! We don't want to grab attention!"
Fortunately, none of the students wake up, at the commotion, so they all continued walking until they reached their designated room door. "So, anyone got a key?", Leon lightly swept the floor with his foot. "I think we all have them right here.", Luna pulled out some sort of device out of her pocket. The others did the same.
The device is rectangular in shape with a yellow diamond in the center, which opens up to reveal a thin holographic screen.
…...
Flashback
"Aside from maintaining our EM Wave Human forms, our Hunter-VGs don't seem to work on Remnant for some reason.", Geo told the Headmaster regarding communication problems with their devices. "Hmm. Perhaps we can provide you with these.", Ozpin pulled out four similarly rectangular devices from a drawer in his desk. "These are called Scrolls. They are the main communication devices used on Remnant.", Leon picked up the Scroll, and scratched his head as he tried to use it. "How do you use these-", Leon pressed the yellow diamond on the device, which split to reveal a holographic screen filled with application icons. "Huh. Whaddya know? It's just like our Hunters, or smartphones in general.", he hypothesized. "Well if that's how you interpret it, then yes.", said Ozpin. "From now on, this will be your new communication devices.", everyone picked up the Scrolls and placed them in their pockets. "Thank you, Professor Ozpin.", Geo bowed.
…...
"I wonder if these... Scrolls, can do EM Wave Change too?", Camo thought curiously. "Well I think it's getting late tonight. We should call it a night and go to bed.", Luna yawned. Geo placed his Scroll near the doorknob to unlock it. 'I just hope we'll find a way home. But for some reason it felt like fate was calling me, of us here.', Geo thought deeply, thought it didn't come unnoticed by his partner. 'Got something in your mind, kid?', Omega-Xis asked in his mind. 'Never mind. Let's just go to sleep.', the brunette shook his head and went to his room.
And so, the adventures of the Blue Bomber has come to an end. And then the adventures of Team GLAS, begins!
