Chapter 2: Initiation.

Ruby and her sister, Yang stepped off the airship that dropped them off at Beacon academy. They walked up to the courtyard and looked at the school and the clock tower that towered over all the students.

"Wowwwwwwww…" Ruby and Yang said as they took in the sight of the legendary school.

"The View from Vale's got nothing on this." Yang said as she folded her arms. Ruby started to go starry eyed at all the weapons that the students had with them.

"Ooh, Ooh. Sis That Kids got a collapsible staff! And she's got a fire sword!" Ruby said all excited before starting to follow the girl with a fire sword but Yang grabbed her by the hood to keep her in place. "Ow, ow…" Ruby said as she was pulled back.

"Easy there, little sister. They're just weapons." Yang said letting go of Ruby. Ruby looked at her in shock.

"Just weapons? They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Oh they're so cool." Ruby said.

Well, why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?" Yang said. Ruby transformed the weapon into Scythe form and held in on her shoulder hugging it slightly.

"Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose. I just… really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people. But better." Ruby said. Yang pulled Ruby's hood over her head.

"Ruby, come on, why don't you go try to make some friends of your own?" Yang said.

"But, why would I need friends when I have you." Ruby said taking the hood off.

"Well… Actually, my friends are here. Gotta go catch up, kay, c'ya, bye. " Yang said running off to talk with some of her friends she spotted.

"Wait! Where are you going? Are we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms?" Ruby called after Yang as she ran. "I don't know what I'm doing." She said before flopping down on her back and hitting someone's suitcases.

"What are you doing?!" Someone in white cloths asked as she saw Ruby on her suitcases.

"Uh… Sorry." Ruby said apologetically.

"Sorry? Do you have any idea the damage you could've caused?" The girl said.

"Uhh…" Ruby said as she picked up a suitcase and the girl grabbed it out of her hands.

"Gimme that! This is Dust mined and Purified from the Schnee Quarry." The girl said as she opened the case to look at the vials of dust.

"Uhh…" Ruby said again; scratching her head.

"What are you, Brain dead? Dust. Fire, Water, Lightning, Energy!" The girl said shaking a vial slightly making red dust spread around. Ruby stood up and inhaled a bit.

"Uhh…" Ruby said.

"Are you even listening to me? Is any of this even sinking in? What do you have to say for yourself." The girl said making more dust spread.

"Uhhhhaaaahhh-Chooo!" Ruby sneezed making an explosion envelop the girl. The vial of dust knocked out of her hand and landed at the feet of a girl reading a book. She reached down and picked up the vial without looking, continuing to read. She looked at the vial then the two.

"Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of stuff I was talking about!" The girl said brushing soot off herself.

"I'm really, really sorry." Ruby said looking down.

"Ugh, you complete, dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?" The girl said.

"Well… I…" Ruby started.

"This isn't your ordinary combat school. It's not just sparing and practice you know. We're here to fight monsters. So watch where you're going." The girl said crossing her arms.

"Hey, I said I was sorry, Princess." Ruby said.

"It's heiress, actually." They heard a voice say next to them. "Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world." The black haired girl said. Weiss looked happy about that.

"Finally, some recognition." Weiss said looking at Ruby smugly.

"The same company infamous for its controversial labor force and questionable business partners." The black haired girl continued. Weiss looked furious.

"What, how dare… the nerve of…" Weiss started but couldn't finish, she grabbed the dust from the girl and stormed off.

"I promise I'll make it up to you." Ruby called after Weiss. Ruby hung her head in sadness. "I guess I'm not the only one having a rough first day. So, what's…?" Ruby started looking towards the black haired girl only to find her walking off. Ruby sat down on the ground before lying down. "Welcome to Beacon." She said to herself. She closed her eyes just lying there.

"You know, if I remember correctly you never did explain what was going on that night we were fighting people." She heard someone say. She opened her eyes to see a teenage boy with black hair and glasses looking down at her.

"Do I know you?" She asked wondering who he was.

"I was wearing armor the first time we meet." He said. Ruby racked her brain and remembered the armored fighter who got blasted by Torchwick.

"Oh yeah, you appeared out of nowhere and got blasted on your back." Ruby said looking up at him laughing slightly at the memory.

"Well I didn't exactly know where I would end up so it wasn't really my fault." The teen said. The teen held out his hand to help Ruby up. "I never did get your name, I'm Harry." Harry added. Ruby took his hand and Harry pulled Ruby to her feet.

"I'm Ruby. Thanks for your help that night." Ruby said.

"No worries." Harry replied.

"How did you appear out of nowhere though?" Ruby asked.

"Hmm… Tell you later. I got to run, it was nice meeting you" Harry said before smirking and walking off. Ruby thought for a moment.

"That's what I said to you wasn't it?" Ruby called after him.

"Yep." Harry called back. Ruby watched him disappear into the crowd before turning and running into the boy who threw up.

"Hi, I'm Jaune." Jaune said as he held Ruby so they wouldn't fall.

"Ruby." Ruby introduced herself before taking a step back. "Aren't you the guy who threw up on the ship?" Ruby asked. Jaune blushed in embarrassment.

=-= L.O.A.H =-=

Ruby and Jaune were trying to find where they were meant to meet but were having little luck. Along the way Jaune was trying to defend his actions.

"All I'm saying is that motion sickness is a much more common problem then people let on." Jaune said.

"Look, I'm sorry, Vomit-Boy was the first thing that came to mind." Ruby said with a chuckle.

"Oh yeah, what if I call you… Crater-face?" Jaune asked. Ruby lost her smile.

"Hey that explosion was an accident." Ruby said as she stopped walking and looked at Jaune

"Well the names Jaune Arc! Short, Sweet rolls of the tongue. Ladies love it" Jaune said with a smirk. Ruby raised an eyebrow.

"Do they?" She said with disbelief.

"They will. Well I hope they will. I mean my mom always says that… never mind." Jaune said. Ruby chuckled a bit.

"So… I got this thing." Ruby said before unfurling her Scythe and planting the end in the ground. Jaune put his hands up to defend himself.

"Whoa! Is that a scythe?" He asked taking a step back.

"It's also a customizable, high impact velocity sniper rifle." Ruby said lifting it up and patting the barrel. Jaune looked lost.

"A wha…?" Jaune said as Ruby cocked the gun.

"It's also a gun." Ruby simplified.

"Oh… That's cool." Jaune said.

"So what have you got?" Ruby asked looking at the sword at his hip.

"Oh- uh, I got this sword." Jaune said as he unsheathed his sword.

"Oooooooh." Ruby said looking at it. Jaune unclipped the sheath from his belt.

"Yeah, I've got a shield too." Jaune added changing the sheath into a shield.

"So… what do they do?" Ruby said as she touched the shield making it jump around. Jaune quickly grabbed it.

"Well… the shield gets smaller… so… when I'm tired of carrying it… I can just put it away." Jaune said as he changed the shield back to a sheath and clipped it back on his belt.

"But… wouldn't it way the same?" Ruby asked.

"Yeah it does." Jaune said.

"Well, I'm kinda a dork when it comes to weapons. I guess I did go a little overboard designing it." Ruby said laughing slightly.

"Wait. You made that?" Jaune said pointing to the Scythe

"Of Course! All students at signal forge their own weapons. Didn't you make yours?" Ruby asked. Jaune looked at the blade.

"It's a hand-me-down. My Great, great grandfather used it to fight in the war." Jaune said.

"Sounds more like a family heirloom to me. Well I like it. Not many people have an appreciation for the classics these days." Ruby said.

"Yeah, The classics." Jaune said.

"So how come you started talking to me back in the courtyard?" Ruby asked.

"Why not. My mom always says 'Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet'" Jaune said as they started walking again.

"Hmm… Hey, where are we going?" Ruby asked.

"Oh I dunno, I was following you. You think there might be a directory? Maybe a food court, some sort of recognizable landmarks?" Jaune said. Ruby started to laugh. "Is Uh… is that a no"

"That's a no." Ruby said.

Harry was waiting in the amphitheater with the other students. He saw Ruby and a blonde hair boy enter with her and heard someone call her name. Ruby left the blonde and ran over to the person who called her. Harry turned to walk off to another part of the amphitheater but ran into someone. He grabbed the person around the waist to hold them up to stop them falling. Which failed. He fell back onto his back and the person landed on top of him.

"Are you ok?" He heard the person say. Harry looked at the person and saw one thing. Emerald green eyes. Almost exactly like his. The next thing he noticed was she was female and that made Harry start to blush.

"Um… yeah. Are you ok?" Harry said back. The girl didn't move just looking into his eyes. "Not that I don't mind this. Could you possibly let me up please?" Harry asked with a small smirk. The girl blushed before getting off him and offered her hand to help him up. Harry took her hand and she pulled him to his feet. "Interesting way of meeting people." He said. The girl blushed more.

"I'm sorry about that." She said quickly. Harry chuckled a bit.

"It's ok, I wasn't watching where I was going so it's a both our faults." He said as he got a better look at her. She was wearing what looked like Greek Spartan armor and had a circlet in her red hair. Harry thought she was very beautiful. "So. I didn't get your name." Harry said.

"I'm Pyrrha." Pyrrha said as she blushed.

"I'm Harry, nice to meet you Pyrrha. So are you a first year student too?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, it's my first year. I am a little surprised though, most people know me and you acted like you didn't." Pyrrha said.

"Sorry Pyrrha, that's because I didn't. I had no idea who you were before you introduced yourself." Harry said. Harry noticed Pyrrha looked happier with his comment.

"Well it was nice meeting you Harry. I hope to see you again soon." Pyrrha said.

"Yeah same here." Harry said before Pyrrha walked off. Harry watched Pyrrha walk away with a smile. Then when Ozpin began to speak he turned to the stage.

"Ahem… I'll keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you are finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this. But your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." Ozpin said before walking off stage. Glynda walked up to the microphone.

"You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready. You're dismissed." Glynda said before following Ozpin. Harry watched the students start to leave before following them to the ballroom.

Ruby was lying on her sleeping bag writing a letter to her friends back at signal. Yang flopped down beside her.

"It's like a big slumber party!" She said as she lay down.

"I don't think dad would approve of all the boys though." Ruby said not looking up from her letter.

"I know I do." Yang said looking at the boys and growling. Jaune walked past in his Pajamas and winked at Yang. Yang looked back at Ruby and noticed her writing. "What's that?"

"A letter to the gang back at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going." Ruby said looking at Yang.

"Aww, that's so Cuuuute!" Yang said. Ruby threw her pillow at Yang.

"Shut up. I didn't get to take my friends to school with me. It weird not knowing anyone here." Ruby said.

"What about Jaune? He's… nice. There you go, plus one friend. That's One hundred percent increase" Yang said. Ruby flipped over so she was lying on her back with her hands behind her head.

"Pretty sure Weiss counts as a negative friend. Back to zero." Ruby said dejectedly.

"There's no such thing as negative friends. You just made one friend and one enemy." Yang said. Ruby threw another pillow at Yang. "Look, it's only been one day. Trust me; you have friends all around you. You just haven't met them yet." Yang continued. They heard someone light a match and Ruby saw the girl who helped them out earlier; she was once again reading a book.

"That girl…" Ruby said sitting up.

"You know her?" Yang asked.

"Not really. She saw what happened this morning but left before I could say anything." Ruby explained.

"Well, now's your chance!" Yang said grabbing Ruby's arm and pulling her over to the girl with the book.

"Hey, wait. What are you doing?" Ruby said struggling in Yang's grip. They saw the girl with the book see them coming, Ruby continued to struggle.

"Helloooo!" Yang said in a sing-song voice. Yang let go of Ruby's arm. "I believe you two may know each other."

"Aren't you that girl that exploded?" The girl asked.

"Uhh, yeah. My names Ruby." Ruby said holding out her hand to shake the girls. The girl just went back to her book. Ruby pulled her hand back and rubbed the back of her head. "But you can just call me … crater… actually you can just call me Ruby." Ruby said.

"Okay." The girl said not looking at Ruby. Yang looked at Ruby.

"What are you doing?" Yang whisper/yelled.

"I don't know, help me." Ruby whispered back.

"So… what's your name?" Yang asked.

"Blake." Blake said looking at Yang.

"Well Black, I'm Yang. Ruby's older sister. I like your bow." Yang said looking at Blake's hair-bow.

"Thanks." Blake said.

"It goes great with your… Pajamas." Yang said.

"Right." Blake said. Ruby laughs nervously.

"Nice night, don't you think?" Yang asked.

"Yes, it's lovely. Almost as lovely as this book… that I will continue to read… As soon as you leave." Blake said before going back to her book. Yang turned to Ruby.

"Yeah, this girl's a lost cause." Yang said turning to leave noticing Ruby not moving.

"What's it about?" Ruby asked surprising Blake.

"Huh?" Blake asked back.

"Your book, does it have a name?" Ruby asked curiously.

"Well… it's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body." Blake explained.

"Oh yeah, that's real lovely…" Yang said. Ruby took a step forward.

"I love books. Yang used to read to me every night before bed. Stories of heroes and monster… they're one of the reasons I want to be a huntress." Ruby said Blake chuckled slightly.

"Why is that? Hoping you'll live happily ever after?" She asked.

"I'm hoping we all will. As a girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books. Someone who fought for what was right, and who protected people who couldn't protect themselves." Ruby explained.

"That's very ambitious for a child. Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale." Blake said.

"Well that's why we're here… to make it better." Ruby said. Yang came over and hugged Ruby hard.

"Ohhh, I'm so proud of my baby sister!" Yang said.

"Cut it out." Ruby said before punching Yang in the arm. Ruby got free and pushed Yang over.

"Well Ruby, Yang… it's a pleasure to…" Blake started but was interrupted.

"What in the world is going on over here!? Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep!?" Weiss asked as she walked over. Then she saw Ruby.

"Oh, not you again!" Yang and Weiss said together. Ruby shushed them looking nervous.

"Shh! Guys, she's right. People are trying to sleep!" Ruby said.

"Oh, now you're on my side." Weiss said with her hands on her hips.

"I was always on your side." Ruby argued.

"Yeah, what's your problem with my sister? She's only trying to be nice" Yang asked.

"She's a hazard to my health!" Weiss said. Blake blew out the candle making the room fully dark.

Ruby and Yang were in the locker room collecting their weapons for the initiation that morning.

"You seem awfully chipper this morning." Yang said as she pulled her Gauntlets, Ember Celica. Onto her wrists and loading shells into the shotgun part.

"Yep! No more awkward small talk or 'getting to know you' stuff. Today I get to let my sweetheart do the talking." Ruby said as she pulled her scythe out of the locker and hugged it close to her.

"Well, remember Ruby, You're not the only one going through initiation. If you want to grow up, you're going to have to meet new people and learn to work together." Yang said, Ruby groaned in displeasure.

"Ugh, you sound like Dad!" Ruby said putting the folded scythe on her belt. "Okay, first of all what does meeting new people have to do with fighting? And secondly, I don't need people to help me grow up. I drink milk" Ruby asked.

"But what about when we form teams? Yang asked trying to get through to Ruby. Ruby turned away from Yang.

"Uh, I don't know, I'll just be on your team or something…" Ruby said.

"Maybe you should try being on someone else's team?" Yang said as she started playing with her hair. Ruby walked up to her and poked Yang's chest with her finger

"My dearest sister Yang, are you implying you do not wish to be on the same team as me?" Ruby asked accusingly.

"W-what, no I was just implying, I don't know, maybe it would help you break out of your shell." Yang said defending herself.

"What the!? I don't need to break out of my shell, that's absolutely…" Ruby said

"Ridiculous!" Jaune said as he walked past. "There's no way I put my gear in locker 636 yesterday I would have remembered having to count that high! Oh why does this have to happen today?" Jaune said talking to himself. Weiss and Pyrrha were gathering their gear as their lockers were next to each other's.

"So, Pyrrha, have you given any thought to whose team you would like to be on? I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such a strong, well known individual, such as yourself." Weiss said. Pyrrha looked slightly unhappy thinking Weiss only wanted to know her because she was famous.

"Hmm… I'm not quite sure. I was planning on letting the chips fall where they may." Pyrrha said tying a bracer to her arm.

"Well, I was thinking maybe we could be on a team together." Weiss said.

"Well that sounds grand!" Pyrrha said with no enthusiasm in her voice.

"Great." Weiss said. "This will be perfect! The smartest girl in class combined with the strongest girl in class. Together we'll be unstoppable. I can see it now: We'll be popular, we'll be celebrities, we'll get perfect grade! Nothing could come between us now!" Weiss thought to herself. Just as Jaune walked between them.

"You know what else is great. Me, Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you." Jaune said smoothly.

"You again?" Weiss said looking at him.

"Nice to meet you, Jaune." Pyrrha said. Jaune pushed Pyrrha out of the way to talk to Weiss.

"Yeah, yeah. So Weiss, been hearing rumors about teams. I was thinking you and me would make a good one. What do you say." Jaune said.

"Actually, I think teams are comprised of four students." Pyrrha said. Jaune looked at her.

"You don't say, well hot stuff, play your cards right and maybe you could join up with the winning team." Jaune said before Weiss ran between them.

"Jaune, is it? Do you have any idea who you are talking to?" Weiss asked.

"Not in the slightest Snow Angel." Jaune said looking in Weiss's eyes.

"This is Pyrrha." Weiss said.

"Hello again." Pyrrha said with a wave

"Pyrrha graduated top of her class at Sanctum." Weiss said.

"Never heard of it." Jaune said simply. Weiss scoffed. Pyrrha smiled.

"Ah, she's won the Mistral Regional Tournament four years in a row… a new record!" Weiss said.

"The what?" Jaune asked.

"She's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes Box!" Weiss said waving her arms frustrated. Jaune gasped and covered his mouth with his hands before pointing at Pyrrha.

"That's you? They only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters." Jaune said. Pyrrha lost her smile.

"Yeah, it was pretty cool. Sadly the cereal isn't very good for you." Pyrrha said making a force smile.

"So after hearing all this, do you think you're in a position to ask her to be on your team?" Weiss asked.

"I guess not… sorry." Jaune said hanging his head. Pyrrha laid a hand on Jaune's shoulder.

"Actually Jaune, I think you would make a great leader." Pyrrha said. Jaune smiled.

"D'oh, stop it." Jaune said.

"Seriously stop it; this kind of behavior should not be encouraged." Weiss told Pyrrha.

"Sounds like Pyrrha is onboard for team Jaune. Spots are filling up fast. Now I'm not supposed to do this, but maybe I could pull some strings. Find a place for you." Jaune said stepping closer to Weiss.

"Alright, that's a bit too close!" Weiss said before turning and walking off with Jaune following her leaving Pyrrha behind. Pyrrha sighed annoyed at her fame.

"You know I was wondering why you seem so happy when I said I didn't know you, now I know why." Pyrrha heard someone say and found Harry behind her in his armor and his helmet under his arm.

"What do you mean Harry?" Pyrrha asked.

"It's the same thing I went through. See I was famous where I'm from and people only wanted to know me because of my fame. It tried endlessly to get people to know me, but people didn't want to know me. That forced smile you made, I saw all the time when I looked in a mirror. People tend to forget that we are people too. Not just some celebrity." Harry explained.

"That's exactly how I feel. Having to act certain ways to make people happy. Thanks Harry, at least I know I have one true friend… we are friends right?" Pyrrha asked nervously.

"You even have to ask? Of course we're friends. Now then shall we head out to the cliffs?" Harry asked offering his hand to Pyrrha. Pyrrha smiled.

"Sure." She said taking his hand and walked to the cliffs with him thinking one thing. "I hope I'm on a team with Harry."

=-= L.O.A.H =-=

Once Harry and Pyrrha got to the cliffs they stood on metal squares in the grounds in front of Ozpin and Glynda. All the student soon were together and Ozpin began his speech.

"For year you have trained to become warriors. And today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin said before taking a sip from his mug.

"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates… today." Glynda said.

"What?" Ruby said softly to herself.

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of you time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years." Ozpin said.

"What?!" Ruby said shocked.

"See, I told you." An orange hair girl said to the person next to her.

"After you have partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy anything in your path, or you will die. You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation. But our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one relic and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately." Ozpin said looking at everyone. "Last thing. As there are an odd number of people, one person will not have a partner. And will be placed with a team of my choosing making it a five man team. Are there any questions?" Ozpin asked as he finished.

"Yeah, um, sir…" Jaune said as he raised his hand.

"Good, now take your positions." Ozpin said as everyone stood on a platform.

"Uh, sir, I got, um, a question." Jaune said his hand still raised. Weiss got launched into the forest. "So this landing strategy thing, uh, what is it? You're like dropping us off or something?" Jaune asked.

"No, you will be falling." Ozpin said taking a sip from his cup.

"Oh, I see, so, like, did you hand out parachutes for us?" Jaune asked.

"No, you will be using your own landing strategy." Ozpin said.

"Uhh, yeah." Jaune said. Yang gave Ruby a thumbs up before putting her sunglasses on and being launched into the forest. Ruby got launched a second later.

"So, um what exactly is a landing strateGYYYYY." Jaune said before being launched in the forest. Pyrrha got launched leaving only Harry, Ozpin and Glynda on the cliffs. After about thirty seconds Harry spoke.

"So am I getting launched?" he asked.

"Yes, I just have one favor to ask you." Ozpin said.

"You want me to refill your hot chocolate?" Harry said as he crossed his arms and smirked. Ozpin blushed.

"Yes please." He said holding his cup out. Harry waved a hand over the mug and it refilled and Ozpin took a sip.

"Ahh, Thank you Harry." Ozpin said to Harry. He turned to Glynda. "Launch him." He said and Glynda pressed a button and Harry was launched into the forest. They turned to see all the students land in the forest.

=-= L.O.A.H =-=

Harry was flying through the air after being launched off the cliff. Harry quickly pulled his wand from his holster and pointed it at himself.

"Arresto Momentum." He yelled the spell causing his decent to slow. That being said. He still tore through a tree, tearing it in two before landing hard. Harry rolled as he hit the ground to lessen the impact on his legs, but it still hurt. Not by much as one of the runes he engraved on the armor was cushioning runes to lessen the impact if something like that happened. He took a look at his surroundings and all he saw were trees. He dropped to one knee and pulled his sniper off his back and looked it over checking for any problems. Not finding any he placed it back on his back and looked at his pistols once again finding no problems with them. "Alright, Ozpin said the temple was at the northern part of the forest." Harry said to himself before laying his wand flat on his hand. "Point me." He said. The wand started spinning to show north and Harry started walking in that direction.

He had been walking for a couple of minutes before he felt like he was being watched. Then a Beowolf jumped out of the bushes. Harry dived to the side and rolled onto his feet and pulled his pistol from his holster and fired twice hitting the Beowolf in the head, making it fall and die. That's when he saw more Beowolves surrounding him with their red eyes glowing in the bushes.

"Alright then." Harry said raising his pistols. One beowolf charged and Harry move to the side and let it run past him before shooting it in the back of the head once. Three more charged and three shots went off. Two of the beowolves fell to the bullets but one only stumbled but kept coming. Two more shots put it down fully. Another two charged and fell leaving the Alpha Beowolf left. Harry emptied the rest of the magazines in his pistol but that didn't put the alpha down. Harry dropped his pistols and pulled his Katana and charged in. He slashed the Alpha across the chest drawing some of its black blood but not enough to truly hinder it. The Alpha slashed its claws at him and Harry jumped back from the Alpha but lost his sword. The Alpha charged him and Harry pulled his sniper off his back and shot point-blank range through the Alpha's head, shattering the mask and killing it instantly. The bang from the bullet being shot echoed through the whole jungle. Harry placed the Sniper back on his back and used a quick Accio to call his pistols and sword to him; he put the sword back in its sheath and activated the rune on the pistols to refill them.

"That could have gone better." Harry said before walking off again. Harry saw smoke rising from the forest coming from close by and decide to investigate. When he climbed up a tree, making sure his armor was weightless and saw Weiss and Ruby surrounded by Beowolves. Harry unslung his Sniper and looked through the scope and started to shoot beowolves. Ruby and Weiss were looking around trying to find out who was helping them. Once the Beowolves had been taken out, Harry jumped down near the two and cast a quick Aguamenti to remove the fire. "Do you really need to burn the forest down?" Harry asked. Weiss crossed her arms and scoffed.

"This dolt here doesn't seem to be able communicate in an engagement." Weiss said.

"I take it you two are partners." Harry said. They nodded to confirm this but Weiss didn't look happy about. "Well; have fun with that." Harry said before heading off to north. He could hear the two arguing as he left the two wondering how they're going to survive four years of partnership.

Not five minutes later he ran into someone else. He was walking through a bush and someone must have thought he was a beowolf as a spear embedded itself into the tree behind him just narrowly missing his head. He recognized the spear as Pyrrha's. Harry smiled and pulled the spear out and walked out through the bushes twirling the spear in his hand. Pyrrha saw who it was.

"Harry I'm so sorry about that, I thought you were a Beowolf." Pyrrha said. Harry thought she was going to hyperventilate. Harry grabbed her shoulder.

"Pyrrha… Pyrrha. It's ok, I probably would have done the same, not knowing what was there." Harry said trying to reassure her. "Have you found your partner yet?" Harry asked hoping she hadn't.

"I'm sorry Harry, I ran into Jaune not to long ago. I used my spear to stop him from hitting the ground by piercing his shirt to the tree." Pyrrha said looking down slightly.

"Don't worry about it Pyrrha, we may not be partners but we are defiantly still friends." Harry reassured her. Pyrrha relaxed at hearing that thinking they might not be friends any because they weren't partners. Jaune took that moment to fall out of the tree he was in and land on the hard ground. Harry looked around to see Jaune. "Hey Jaune, what were you doing in the tree?" Harry asked.

"Well, Pyrrha helped me with my landing and she got her spear and I was stuck in a tree." Jaune explained.

"Huh, never seen that one before. Well I need to go find my partner but I'm thinking I'll be the one without a partner." Harry said.

"Well I hope you find a partner." Jaune said. Harry nodded before once again heading north to the temple.

Yang and Blake come to the edge of a cliff to see a stone structure below them with a ring of pedestals within it.

"Think this is it?" Yang asked Blake. Blake rolled her eyes before jumping off the small cliff and landing at the bottom followed by Yang. They walked up to the temple to find the relics were black and white chess pieces.

"Chess pieces?" Blake said.

"Some of them are missing, looks like we weren't the first ones here." Yang said looking at the pedestals that don't have pieces.

"Well… I guess we should pick one." Blake said looking at the pieces.

Yang looked at the White knight piece and picked it up.

"How about a cute little pony?" Yang asked holding it up in the air.

"Sure." Blake said. She walked over to Yang and took the piece to see it.

"That wasn't too hard." Yang said wanting a challenge.

"well, it's not like this place is very difficult to find." Blake said as she handed the knight back. They heard a scream coming from somewhere in the jungle. Yang turned back to look at the jungle.

"Some girl's in trouble! Blake did you hear that? What should we do?" she said. Blake only looked off into space. Yang looked to where Blake was looking to find Ruby falling from the sky.

"Heads up!" Ruby yelled as she fell only to be intercepted by Jaune and thrown into a tree, Jaune with her.

"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake asked looking to where Jaune and Ruby lay on a tree branch.

"I…" Yang started but couldn't finish. They heard growling coming from a Grimm and see a Grimm Bear stumble from the trees. Before falling and laying on the ground not moving. And seeing a girl with orange hair fall off the back. They knew the girl's name was Nora.

"Aww, its broken." Nora said standing up. She jumped up on the back of the Grimm and looked at it closer. Nora's partner; Ren leaned against the dead Grimm trying to catch his breath from chasing Nora on the Grimm.

"Nora… Please… Don't ever do that again." Ren said. Nora didn't answer, she just ran up to the temple and looked at the pieces. She found a rook piece and picked it up singing she was the queen of the castle while placing the rook on her head.

"NORA!" Ren called out to get through to Nora.

"Coming Ren." Nora said letting the rook slip off her head into her hand.

"Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?" Blake asked as Nora ran back to Ren.

"I…" Yang said again. They saw Pyrrha running out the trees; running for her life. But there was nothing behind her.

"Pyrrha, why are you running?" Blake asked.

"To get away from the…" Pyrrha started turning to see nothing. "There was a Deathstalker chasing me." Pyrrha finished.

Ruby jumped out of the tree and ran up to her sister. Yang saw ruby. Ruby?" Yang called out.

"Yang." Ruby said back and they went to high-five but Nora got between them.

"NORA!" She said saying her own name.

Then they heard a yell and saw a familiar armored man flying through the air and tore through one of the stone pillars before landing and having stone fall on him followed by a Deathstalker coming out of the trees.

"Did he just come flying through the air and smash into a pillar followed by a Deathstalker?" Blake asked. Yang's eyes turned red

"Grrrrr! I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again?" Yang asked. They heard an explosion and saw that Harry had done something to get the rubble off of him. He stood up and walked over to the group.

"Ok… Not my best entrance." He said as he brushed rubble off his armor. Ren came running over to join the group. Ruby tapped her sister to get her attention.

"Um… Yang?" She said. She pointed up and they saw Weiss hanging onto the talons of a Nevermore.

"How could you leave me?" They heard Weiss yell.

"I said Jump…" Ruby said.

"She's gonna fall." Blake said looking up at Weiss.

"She'll be fine." Ruby reassured the group.

"She's falling." Ren said simply. They all saw Jaune jump and catch Weiss.

"Oh this should be good." Harry said watching the scene. Jaune landed first on his stomach with Weiss landing on his back.

"My Hero." They heard Weiss say sarcastically.

"My back." Jaune said in pain.

"Called it." Harry said. Pyrrha got hit by the Deathstalker that came out of the trees and she landed at the groups feet.

"Great! The gang's all here! Now we can die together." Yang exclaimed. Harry rolled his eyes and pulled his Sniper off his back. Everyone looked at the gun not having seen one like his before. He dropped to one knee and aimed at the Deathstalker. He pulled the trigger and everyone jumped back at how loud it was. He emptied the magazine before standing and seeing the Deathstalker still alive and moving. What's more there didn't seem to be a scratch on it.

"WHAT! These is armor piercing rounds." Harry said touching a rune to make the magazine refill itself.

"My turn." Ruby said running up to the Deathstalker, unfolding her scythe along the way. She got knocked back by one of the claws. "D-Do-Don't worry! Totally fine!" She called back. She fired once at the Deathstalker before turning and running. The Nevermore fired its feathers and one snagged Ruby's hood/cape.

"Ruby, get out of there." Yang called out running to her sister.

"I'm trying." She called back tugging on her cape trying to free it. The Deathstalker raises it tail to hit Ruby but Weiss runs up and freezes the claw and tail together.

"You are so childish." She said. Ruby said Weiss had her sword in the ground using a glyph to freeze the Deathstalker. "And Dimwitted, and Hyper active. And don't even get me started on your fighting style. And I suppose, I can be a bit… difficult. But if we're going to do this, we're going to have to do this together. So if you quit trying to show off, I'll be… nicer." Weiss said to Ruby.

"I'm not trying to show off. I want you to know I can do this." Ruby said.

"You're fine." Weiss said walking off.

"Would you two like a moment to yourselves, only we have a Deathstalker that looks pissed off from being shot and frozen partially and an angry Nevermore that didn't like its passengers." Harry called out to them.

"Guys, that thing is circling back. What are we going to do?" Jaune asked pointing at the Nevermore.

"Look, there's no sense in dilly-dallying. Our objective is right in front of us." Weiss said looking at the pieces.

"She's right. Our mission is to grab an artifact and make it back to the cliffs." Ruby said, Weiss nodded at her comment. "There is no point in fighting there things."

"Run and live. That is an idea I can get behind." Jaune said happily. They each collected a chess piece leaving Harry without one. Harry was unable to find a partner and he would' be the one who would join a team. They could hear the ice holding the Deathstalker breaking as the Deathstalker fought against it.

"Time we left." Ren said.

"Right, let's go." Ruby said before starting to run back to the cliffs.

The group came to more ancient ruins with the Nevermore flying right over the top of them. They all hid behind some pillars as the Nevermore landed on a tower in the middle of a very deep ravine. They could hear the Nevermore screeching from the tower.

"Well that's great!" Yang said sarcastically. Jaune was about to reply but they all heard the now free Deathstalker crash through the tree and came up to the group.

"Oh Man, Run!" Jaune said as they all took off to the bridges that connected the tower to land. The Nevermore took flight again.

"Nora, distract it." Ren said as he ran after the group. Nora ran out into the open, dodging Nevermore feathers and pulled her grenade launcher off her back and fired at the Nevermore. Blake and Ren attacked the Deathstalker that was coming up behind Nora before they all started to run from the Deathstalker. They all made it to the bridge and Pyrrha changed her spear into a gun and fired at the Deathstalker as Ren did the same thing. They all started to run across the bridge and were halfway across when they saw the Nevermore coming back and it flew right through the bridge. The two groups were separated with Ren, Pyrrha and Blake fighting the Deathstalker and everyone else near the bottom of the tower.

"Man we need to get over there. They need help." Jaune said looking over at the group fighting the Deathstalker.

"Let's do this." Nora said.

"Yeah, but I can't uh, I cant make that jump." Jaune said, Nora just smiled and changed her gun into a hammer and smashing the platform so it threw both of them like a catapult. Nora flew right up to the Deathstalker and smashed its head with the hammer. She got knocked back, knocking Blake into the ravine. Blake used her ribbon-chain to swing back up to join Ruby, Weiss and Yang. The four started to fire at the Nevermore with everything they had, Ruby's scythe gun, Yang's gauntlets, Blake's pistol-blade, Weiss's glyphs and Harry's sniper. The Nevermore flew through the tower and the girls started to climb the rubble back to safe ground. Harry was unable to because he couldn't move like that in his armor and fell down into the ravine.

"Where's Harry?" Ruby asked as they got back on the platform and she looked around. That's when they saw something massive fly out of the ravine and saw a Dragon. It was Black with Gold streak around its face and down its back. The girls looked on in shock and were about to fire on it when it grabbed the Nevermore in its claws and slammed it into the cliff and started to breath fire on it. They saw the Nevermore dig its talons into the Dragon and heard the Dragon roar in pain. Yang started to fire at the Nevermore as the Dragon attacked it with fire and its claws. Ruby quickly came up with a plan and Blake threw her ribbon-chain at Yang who held it tight and Ruby pulled back with her Scythe and was held in place by one of Weiss's glyphs. They saw the dragon get pushed off the Nevermore and Weiss let Ruby go and made glyphs up the side of the cliff for Ruby to run up. Ruby grabbed the Nevermore around the throat with her scythe and pulled it up the cliff before its head got tore off at the top.

The others were starting to have trouble with the Deathstalker and completely missed what had happened including the Dragon when the Dragon landed on top of the Deathstalker and tore into it with its claws and killing it and dropping it into the ravine. The dragon landed next to the group and laid down. It motioned for them to get on.

"I think it wants us to get on." Jaune said. Nora cheered and jumped on the Dragon's back. The other followed suit and held onto the Dragon's back before it took off and flew over to the broken bridge to pick up Weiss, Yang and Blake. Yang and Blake had to drag Weiss on and it flew to the top of the cliff. They all got off and the Dragon morphed into Harry who immediately stumbled like he would fall but Pyrrha grabbed him.

"I'm not fully use to doing that yet, but I'm getting there. That being said, I'm exhausted." Harry said before falling asleep.

Back in the amphitheater all the partners were put into teams of four. Or in Harry's case, who is now awake, a team of five.

"Russel Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing and Sky Lark. The Four of you retrieved the Black Bishop pieces. From this day forward you will work together as team CRDL (Cardinal). Lead by… Cardin Winchester." Ozpin explained as the audience began applauding.

"Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos and Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the White Rook Pieces. From this day forward you will work together as team… Team JNPR (Juniper)." The audience applauded and Nora hugged Ren. "Led by… Jaune Arc." Ozpin said

"Huh. L-lead by…" Jaune said in surprise.

"Congratulations young man." Ozpin said. Pyrrha punched Jaune's arm and he fell over not expecting it.

"And finally, Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee and Yang Xiao Long. The four of your retrieved the White Knight pieces. From this day forward you will work together as… Team RWBY (Ruby). Led by… Ruby Rose" Ozpin said as the audience applauded.

"I'm so proud of you." Yang said hugging Ruby.

"Harry Potter. Due to uneven numbers you were unable to find neither a partner nor a team. So from this day forward you shall work beside… Team RWBY." Ozpin said looking at Harry. "Looks like things are shaping up to be an interesting year." Ozpin added.

When the five made it too their dorm they found a problem, only four beds. The girls looked at each other as Harry pulled out his trunk and placed it against a wall.

"You four take the beds." Harry said unlocking the trunk.

"You sure?" Yang asked.

"Trust me, I'll be fine." Harry said as he opened the trunk and climbed in it before closing the lid. The others would have said something but they were all too tired and agreed to find out in the morning.

/An

Before anyone askes, No, Harry's semblance is not animal shifting. I intend for it to be found out in the next chapter. Harry is Just a Dragon Animagus because I like dragons a lot. Hopefully that clears up any confusion.

So reiterate, I own nothing, everything either belongs to Rooster Teeth and Harry potter Belongs to J.K Rowling.

I am still looking for a beta, if you are interested P.M me.

So, review, follow and favorite and I'll see you all in the next chapter.

Till Next Time Folks.
