Chapter 3

Roots take shape.

"Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao-Long. The four of you collected the white Bishop pieces so you will form team RWBY, leaded by Ruby Rose." Headmaster Ozpin spoke in a voice that held unwavering certainty. As team RWBY walked off the stage, Ozpin began to speak again. "Now, I shall let Miss. Goodwitch take it from here."

Stepping forwards Miss. Goodwitch greeted the student in a tone that told them that she is not to be toyed with. "Students in a short while you will all be assigned a room for your team, but before you get unpacked some of you could be changed around at any given moment today." She looked around at everyone in front of her. "Now when I call your team name please send the team leader up to collect your room number. Your belongings will have already been delivered to your room."

Gylnda Goodwitch was never one to mess around and had made that very clear to many upper year students. But, not one of the first year students knew that yet. So when a few of them started to mess around when she was giving out room numbers. She took great pride in knocking them back down.

"Team CRDL please step forward!" she said in a serious tone. Only to get one of the teams members to laugh and cat call at her.

"Why don't you just take us to our dorms personally?" " We could do some one-on-one lessons."

Whoever said that must have had some balls, may have been right. But, unfortunately for them, those ball were three seconds from going right back up. For as soon as they finished talking Ozpin spoke up.

"Oh, one last thing before I take my leave. I would all like to remind all of you about page number 34, section G in the student handbook."

"WHO HAS ONE?" someone yelled. If someone was watching a white haired girl they would have seen her crack a smile before pulling a small white book out of her pocket and read it outload.

"Section G states that teachers are not only allowed. But, encouraged to remind students that being overconfident on, as well of off the battle field is a dangerous. Teachers are able to do this by any means they see fit. (Warning Goodwitch is not to be trifled with.)

Cracking the widest grin he has ever shown he left the room. As soon as he left Gylnda step off the stage. All student between her and team CRDL parted ways leaving a path straight to them.

Meanwhile, Onyx was woke up hearing what sounded like four girls screaming. He hoped he could get out of the medical wing of Beacon Academy soon. But, knew better than most that he would not be able to move normally for a few days still. Unless he wanted to pop a few stiches.

"Note to self, thank whoever it was the sealed this up." He said as he began to fall back asleep.

'BAM' hearing a door slam open jolted him the rest of the way awake. A few people could be heard making their way down the hallway. "Oh, please let that be the doctor coming to tell me I am clear to leave." Onyx muttered right before the door swung open to reveal Ozpin, Goodwitch, and the four girls from yesterday.

"Good day Mr. Blight, how are you feeling today?" Ozpin spoke.

"Can't complain for the most part, although I must ask, why are they here?" Onyx nodded at the girls that were standing behind Gylnda.

"Oh, these four lovely young ladies were concerned about you and insisted to come along to see how you were doing."

"Really, and just to be sure you aren't planning anything. Miss. Goodwitch why are they here?" he asked turning to look at the teacher before him.

"To tell you the truth they asked about you. But that is only because your name didn't get called today." She replied.

"Oh ok, well hello Ruby, Blake, Weiss and blondie. How are you all today?"

"Wait, do you seriously not remember my name?" Yang yell stepping towards the bed.

"No, I total can remember your name." he said with a small grin. "But, I was a little distracted with a giant bug bearing down on us to commit it to memory. So I am so sorry." Onyx suddenly hoped out of the bed. Only to find that he had nothing on but a pair of pants.

"Oh thank Oum that they left my pants on or this could have been worse." As he looked down to his pants four of the five ladies in the room went scarlet.

"Now that is what I call abs-solutely perfect." Yang said teasingly while Ruby just groaned.

"Wow, Yang I can't believe you." Blake was saying only to hear a snicker.

"Do you need a drink of water?" Onyx said while trying not to laugh. Ruby looked at him with a look of fear. "What's wrong Ruby, cat got your tongue?" giving Blake a quick look, while Ruby had face palmed.

"Purr-haps we could got to know each other better, Onyx."

"Ahem, Mr. Blight, seeing as you seem to get along with each of these girls. I would like to introduce you to team RWBBY. The team leader is…"

"Ruby is seeing as the first letter is an R and no one else has a name that begins with it, correct?" Onyx said looking Ozpin. "Plus the Rose family has always had great potential."

"Yes, they certainly do." He replied after a long sip of his coffee. The room went completely silent. That was until wises decided to ask about the Goliath in the room.

"If I may ask professor, earlier you had said that some of us may have to move rooms. Is this team the exact reason you had spoken of it?" Ozpin took another sip of his coffee before replying to her.

"Why of course. Now I am sure each one of you is exhausted and want to go to your rooms."

"Sir, didn't our room number change. As we have to accommodate a fifth member?" Blake could not help bout nod along with Weiss.

"Miss. Goodwitch, I will leave it up to you to explain as I am out of coffee." All she could do was rub the bridge of her nose as the Headmaster walked out the door.

"Could I please speak with Mr. Blight alone for a few minutes?" as soon as the four girls were out in the hallway, the strict lady that every student at beacon had come to know seemed to vanish. Now in her place was Gylnda the mom that would positively kill someone if her son was ever badly hurt.

"Come here already, you stubborn old lady." Onyx said with a laugh.

"OLD, I will have you know I am only 38 years old and can still kick the hell out of you. Now then you come here!" she yell back at him before pulling him into a light hug. "I am so glad you pulled through the initiation even if you don't have a partner."
