just made a little modification. And no, I like Jaune, it's just that he seems like a target for teasing is all. Also, yes I know that they do have a hell, but for fucks sake! or rather plot sake! I don't even have a religion! (should probably start researching for those, though) and finally, I don't know about you guys, but I kinda feel like gay pairings are so doable in RWBY that it's hard to ignore
A/N: Earlier update than expected, I know, but it turned out that my holiday break isn't that busy so I finished this chap. Though I would just like to say this now; my updates won't have a real schedule, I'll be updating I'd and when I can, be it daily, weekly, monthly, or every other month (say, three months at MOST, so no worries). The word count will also be inconsistent.
Okay, I know I said that the pairings will be Freezerburn and BlakexIlia, but I thought about it and then reached a snag; 'How am I gonna insert that hot Freezerburn without fucking up the team dynamics?'. Just like how I thought, before this Fic, about Naruto snagging Neo, that hot ice cream loli woman with that sexy smirk.
But I digress, it's gonna be Bumblebee now, and yes, I know I'm quite indecisive and I'm sorry for that. But there's still the fate of Weiss, it's either she remains single, which is impossible, what with tsundere personality and that beautiful Weiss-t of hers. Get it? Waist, Weiss-t? Gah, I'm sorry. I also need to mention that I'm not pairing her with Neptune, 'cause I don't like the guy, dunno why. So yeah, you guys can choose who she's gonna be paired with, could be a girl or a guy, just not Neptune or Sun. Just give me a valid reason. Then again, not everyone needs to have partner, right?
Also, I may have failed to mention before, but I'd just like to say that this story was inspired by Kiss-Shot's 'Tales of the Rabbit God' and FTDS' 'Naruto the sun god'. So after you read this crap, go to their profiles and read their stories, though I doubt you haven't yet.
Finally, I'd like to apologize for the errors that you guys have seen, notice, read, etc. I only have myself as a beta so there's bound to be errors.
CHAPTER 3
Hi diary! This is my first entry and I don't really know how to write in these things.But anyway, I'm at Beacon now! And I made a new friend, Jaune!.. And an enemy from what Yang said. But Naruto said that I only haven't convinced Weiss to be my friend yet, so there's that. And there's also that mysterious cool girl Blake. She seems too quiet though.
It's kinda hard making friends with people that're older than me. It's not fair that my friends back at Patch are still at Signal Academy while I'm at Beacon already, and when they arrive here, it'll be all weird and strange. But uncle Qrow did always say that life isn't fair, also something about an innkeeper's daughter forcing him to take responsibilities, I dunno.
I'll just persevere through it all. With my sister at my side and my husband at my back, there's nothing I can't do.
o-o-o-o
"Aaaaand, done!" Ruby said, closing the diary and stuffing it into her locker, unaware that her sister read over her shoulder.
Of course, said sister was about to glomp Ruby, "Aww! That's real sweet of you, sis!" And glomp she did.
"Gah, Yang! Get off! And don't you know the meaning of privacy?!" Ruby gave Yang a glare (an adorable one)
"Privacy? What's that?" Yang asked Ruby in faux wonderment. Before Ruby could make an angry remark, Yang turned on her heel, faced her locker and continued on talking, "Anyway, aren't you excited about the initiation?"
"Wait, initiation? What initiation?" Ruby questioned. "Where did you even hear that?"
"I think we should work on a signal. Think we should work on our signal? Yeah, I thought so too. So-" A passing orangette said rapidly to her black haired companion.
"...From her. Anyway, so are you excited or what?" Yang asked Ruby while finishing her getup.
"...Or what..?" Ruby answered awkwardly, not because of her sister, rather because of her uncertainty. Her mind then drifted onto a topic that's been bothering her since morning, 'Where's Naruto? What's taking him so long?' She thought.
Seeing Her sister's worried (read: constipated) face, Yang decided to distract her, "Hey Rubes, isn't that your friend? Jake? Joe? Jack? Ja... Jailbait! That's it!"
"His name is Jaune, be nice." The crimson girl glared, at her sister, which caused Yang to bite the side of her cheek to prevent herself from swooping down and glomping her sister. Ruby, unaware of her sister's thoughts, turned to the muttering blond, "Hey Jaune! Good morning! Whatcha up to?"
"O-Oh, hey Ruby, I'm just looking for my locker," he then proceeded to look around and mutter to himself, "I swear it was around here somewhere."
"Well, good luck on your locker hunt, jailbait. C'mon Rubes, let's get going, the initiation's gonna be starting soon." Just after she spoke, an announcement rung out, calling all first years to where the location of test was gonna take place. "And that's our cue."
Ruby waved goodbye at her friend, "Bye Jaune!"
"Yeah, bye..." Jaune replied in a depressed manner, and then proceeded to sulk and whisper to himself, "I'm so lonely..."
Because of his defeated demeanor, he failed to notice Weiss Schnee talking excitedly to a tall Amazonian-looking redhead with a strange glint in her eyes, while said redhead was answering awkwardly.
"See! I told you! That Schnee girl IS trying to seduce that tall Amazon. Think I should sleep with one eye open? Huh? Ren?" The excited looking orangette asked her companion.
Said orangette was that of short stature, with turquoise eyes and pale skin. She was wearing a collared black vest that ends at her waist which had a hammer with a lightning bolt symbol on the back. Under the vest were two layers of clothing in the color of red and blue. She was also wearing a white sleeveless top that had a heart shaped hole between her cleavage and collarbone, with a white detached sleeve on each arm with matching fingerless gloves on each hands. To complete her outfit, she was wearing a pink mid-thigh length skirt with a white bow on the back, pink and white shoes with pink laces that each has the same symbol from the back of her vest on the soles, and armor beginning in the middle of the shoulder and neck and end by the waist.
"Maybe, but I think we should be going. C'mon Nora." The guy, Ren, told the now named Nora.
Lie Ren, as his full name is, has pale pink eyes and long ebony hair tired into a ponytail that has a magenta streak on the left side. He was wearing a dark green, diagonally-buttoned, long-sleeved tailcoat that's red on the inside with black and gold trimmings that goes down the right side of his torso and forms a black collar and pink cuffs.
"Okay~! Coming Ren~! But not that kind of coming, 'cause we're in public, and we're not, you know, a couple. But I'm not saying you're not handsome or anything, 'cause you are, but it'd be super weird 'cause we've been friends for so long!" Nora blathered on and on, getting the occasional hum of agreement or a grunt of, well, disagreement.
o-o-o-o
Beacon cliff, a place that overlooks the Emerald Forest, and where the current initiation was being held. Near the cliff edge, students can be seen standing on platforms whilst facing Ozpin and Glynda, who were both overlooking the whole spectacle.
"For years, you all have been training to become warriors that protect our land from the creatures of Grimm," 'Which will be extinct decades after, thanks to a strange god.' Ozpin thought idly to himself before continuing, "and today, in that canopy of trees," he said, pointing to the direction of the forest, "the Emerald Forest, is where you'll be tested whether or not you're ready for the burdens of a person studying, learning in becoming a huntsman." Ozpin finished, before giving way to Glynda.
"I'm certain most of you have heard rumours concerning the assignments of teams. And I'm here to confirm said rumours," Glynda momentarily paused and took a quick glance at Ruby, who looked a bit antsy, and continued what she was saying, "Each of you will be given teammates...today."
Murmurs were heard amongst the students, wondering on how this will proceed. Along those was one crimson rose.
"Wha..? Oh..." Ruby whined at this unexpected prospect, and then thought to herself about her currently away husband, 'What is taking him so long? He should've been back by now. I hope he hasn't got himself in trouble.'
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon, so it should be in your best interest to be paired with someone you could work alongside with well." Ozpin advised the students. He took a sip from his mug of hot cocoa, and then proceeded to look at the huntsman-hopefuls.
Yang looked at her sister, who proceeded to whine some more, and gave her a thumbs up of reassurance, which earned her a small smile in return.
Ozpin continued his speech, "With that said, for this year's initiation, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."
"See? I told you so~" Nora told Ren, who only gave his reply in the form of a hum.
"After you've partnered up, you must make your way towards the northern end of the forest. And along the way, you will meet oppositions. Remember this, do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path...Or You will die." And with that, Ozpin continued on his 'encouraging' speech.
Jaune let out a short nervous laugh and gulped soundly while Nora had a far too happy look on her face that it could be considered hazardous towards another person's life. Of course, that only made Jaune even more nervous.
"You will be monitored and graded through the duration of the 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 and return to the top of the cliff. And once you do so, your test will be over. Are there any questions?"
Jaune raised a hand, "Yeah, um, sir? I've got a question." He stated nervously.
"Good! Now everyone, prepare your landing strategy!" Ozpin instructed.
Everyone got into their own stances, except for Jaune, who still has his hand raised.
"Um sir?" He repeated, "I've got a question." He spoke up, hoping to be heard this time, not noticing Weiss being launched up into the air by the tile underneath her, with others following suit. "So um, about this landing strategy...thing... Wha-What is it? Are you, like, dropping us off or something."
"No, you will be falling." Ozpin answered nonchalantly.
"Oh, uh... okay," Jaune said, still not comprehending what the headmaster was saying, and still oblivious to what's happening around him, "Did you, um, did you hand out parachutes or something?"
"Gyahahaha!" Nora laughed excitedly as she was launched into the air.
"No, you will be using your landing strategy." Ozpin said to the blond boy while Glynda gave Jaune a calculating look while the next student, Ren, was launched.
"Uh, Yeah..." Jaune said, still not assured and still clueless, thought to himself, 'Maybe I should ask more clearly.'
As he was thinking, Yang, a few students away from Jaune, was preparing herself and gave her sister a wink, which earned her a thumbs up, and put on her aviator glasses before being launched.
"Woo-Hoooo!" Yang yelled as she was launched, followed by her sister, who herself was ready for the takeoff.
"So um, how will we be falliIIIIIIIING?!?!" Jaune began, only to be interrupted by being flung off of the cliff.
Ozpin took a sip from his mug, before answering, "With style."
Of course, this earned him a deadpan look from his trusty subordinate.
o-o-o-o
"Helloooooo? Anyone out there? Hellooooo?"
Yang, after maneuvering through different obstacles by utilizing her shot gauntlets, Ember Celica, and after landing was now combing through the forest in search of a partner. She was okay with nearly anyone to be her partner, and she very much welcome a partnership with her sister. Though she knew that it'd be better if they didn't pair up, for Ruby's sake. Ruby had been getting better, but Yang would prefer it if Ruby met some new people.
'Then again, it'd be much easier for us if we become partners.' She thought to herself, before hearing a rustling from the bushes behind her, "Who's there?"
She went to the bushes to take a look, "Ruby, is that you?" She asked before hearing an inhuman growl, which prompted her to look up, "Nope! Not Ruby!"
She was then forced to roll to the side as the Ursa, a bear-like Grimm, took off, charging towards her and tried to take a bite out of her. Yang righted herself and activated Ember Celica before sensing another Ursa charging at her from behind. She back flipped over Ursa number two, as she promptly named it in her head, to dodge a change from Ursa number one, all the while unleashing a fiery punch at UnO. UnT was attempting another charge, but Yang countered it by sucking under its swipe and delivering multiple and successive punches before finishing it up with a kick that sent it flying backwards.
"You guys wouldn't happen to have seen a red-hooded girl, have you? You know, about this tall, has red-tipped black hair, and probably in the middle of spazzing out right now?" She asked, only to receive a pair of growls as an answer, "Rude. You could've just said no."
One the of Ursa took a couple of slashes at her, only for Yang to dodge them all and laugh, "Ah jeez! You two couldn't hit the broad side of a ba-" She started to say, taunt really, only to stop when she noticed a strand of her hair fall in front of her face and land on the ground, "You..."
Her fists began to shake with rage as her eyes began to blaze a bloody red, "MONSTERS!" She screamed, as a fiery shroud overtook her form and she began unleashing a barrage of fury-filled disaster.
She went to the closest Ursa and prompted to deliver a devastating fire-infused punch after punch, before ending it with a mighty blow that sent it flying through several trees. She then proceeded to charge at the remaining Ursa and was forced to jump to avoid a high swipe aimed at her face. Seeing an opening, she quickly made her way and jumped once more, this time landing on the Ursa's back. She wrapped her legs around the neck before bashing its skull in mercilessly.
Suddenly, a voice from behind a tree drawled out, "Wow, you really like your hair, huh?"
"WHAT!? YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME TOO!?!" Yang bellowed, still filled with blood-pumping adrenaline.
"I hope that that temper's not a common occurrence. That'd really be difficult to deal with for the next four years." The voice said, sounding a tad amused, before its owner stepped into view, revealing Blake Belladonna, the bow-wearing girl from last night.
Yang, after calming herself down, chuckled sheepishly before looking at her new partner, "Eh hehe, it's nice to see you again. And it looks like we're partners now, huh?"
Blake merely lifted an amused eyebrow, "Indeed."
o-o-o-o
In another part of the Emerald Forest...
"Okay, gotta find Yang, gotta find Yang, gotta find Yang..." Ruby muttered to herself while making her way through trees, 'Though I guess partnering up with Blake might not be so bad, she's so mysterious, calm, and collected, but I'm not sure I can hold a conversation with her though. There's Jaune, but he seems a little lanky though, and not too good at fighting. And there's Pyrrha, she seems nice, don't know her that much though. And... Who else? Yang, Jaune, Blake, Pyrrha, and...'
Her train of thought was suddenly derailed when something crashed into her from above. As she was shaking the cobwebs out of her head and cleared her vision, she found herself looking into the icy blue eyes of one Weiss Schnee, who was straddling her waist with a look of surprise on her face.
'Weiss...' Ruby thought as Weiss slowly got off of her, 'This'll be a rocky partnership.'
There was a moment of silence between the two of them, before Weiss turned around and walked to the other direction, apparently not caring about the pairing rule.
However, just as Weiss got a few feet away from Ruby, a resounding cacophony of growls could be heard coming from her left side.
There, hiding behind the tree line was a pack of Beowolves, intent of making a lunch out of Weiss. But of course, all of the growling got the woman in white and the scarlet lady's attention.
"Looks like we're stuck together, huh?" Ruby said as she unfolded Crescent Rose and took a stance.
"Seems like it. You better not hold me back." Weiss said as she prepared Myrtenaster, her rapier, while also preparing a glyph.
"Wouldn't dream of it." With that, the two began the would-be slaughter.
o-o-o-o
"Are you sure about this?" Pyrrha Nikos, the redhead that was talking with Weiss that morning, asked Jaune, as they traversed through a dark cave lit only by Jaune's makeshift torch, with Jaune leading the way, as common sense dictates.
Pyrrha was a tall person, standing at six feet tall with heels on. She has vibrant green eyes, pale and creamy skin, and red hair that was styled into a ponytail that was curled slightly into a loose ringlet. She was wearing a two-layered top. The top layer being a light-brown colored, strapless top split divided vertically with some bronze patterns. The bottom layer being a low bronze v-neck. She was also wearing an elastic, red, A-lined miniskirt, brown opera-length gloves on both arms, and a red ankle-length sash wrapped around her skirt.
She also has a small circular bronze plate on the right side of her hip connected to her belt bearing her 'spear and shield' emblem. Underneath her hair is a brown circler that's adorned with pair of small, teardrop-shaped emeralds on thin chains. She was also wearing a large bronze gorget around her neck, a bronze bracelet in the upper half of her left arm, and an elaborate bronze greaves that starts below her miss-thigh and connects to her boots.
"Right now?" Jaune said nervously, while glancing at the walls of the cave, "No, not really."
"Why don't we head back then?" She suggested, looking at the cave entrance behind them, before talking once more without turning around, "And I don't think this is the right the location. It veers too far from North."
Jaune would've probably insisted on searching, delving further into the cave, but the numerous red eyes that're seemingly staring at them made him agree with Pyrrha's suggestion. Though he couldn't voice it because of his fear.
Pyrrha, noticing Jaune's lack of response, turned to him to ask him again before noticing the many red eyes, "...Run and live?"
Jaune would've said something about what a brilliant idea that was, but it seemed like fear disabled his ability to talk.
He did manage a small squeak of agreement though.
o-o-o-o
Lie Ren, after finish a pair of King Taijitu, was now calmly strolling through the forest with his pair of bladed submachine guns, named StormFlower in hand.
A strange sound then went out coming from a nearby tree, "Guuuaaaaaahhhh." He would've tensed and prepared himself if it weren't for the fact that he knew that voice.
"I don't think that's what a sloth sounds like, Nora." Ren drawled out with a small smile on his face as the culprit made herself known. By hanging upside down from a branch and poking his nose, of course.
"Boop!"
Ren reciprocated the action, smile still on his face, "Yes, Boop to you too." Of course, he missed the slight blush on his best friend's face.
o-o-o-o
After seeing Ruby slaughter, not kill, slaughter a pack of Beowolves with ease, Weiss begrudgingly admitted to herself that this clumsy dolt was talented. Though, she did wonder about that strange shining ring.
"See! We did well together! Maybe being paired up wasn't such a bad thing, huh?" Quite unaware that she was being scrutinized, Ruby was excited to show her new partner that she was very capable of hauling her own weight, "And you were amazing! You were all like, 'Hwaaah!' 'Hyah! And 'Shling Slash Shling!' You're so cool out there!"
Caught on by surprise by sudden praises, although strangely worded ones, Weiss blushed, but it was quickly covered by a haughty look and a condescending response, "Of course I was! I am, after all, very proficient in using my rapier, Myrtenaster, and my semblance!" She was gonna end it at that, before she noticed Ruby's face, which looked like a puppy waiting for a treat, "You weren't too sloppy yourself. Perhaps we could salvage this partnership after all."
Apparently, that was what Ruby was anticipating for, because she beamed so brightly that it made Weiss give a small smile in return, "You really think so?" She asked a tad meekly, only a tad, still not used all that much to Weiss' presence.
Still wearing a small grin, Weiss replied, a touch arrogantly, "Perhaps, so don't make me regret trusting in you and your skill. Of course, don't mistake this partnership for friendship, yes?" She finished with a level stare.
Ruby's expression dimmed for a bit, before it immediately brightened, 'I'll win your friendship with my winner personality! Sooner or later, we'll be besties, just like my husband said we'd be..! Where is that dink, though?'
o-o-o-o
Somewhere, in the Pure Lands
"Achoo! Those clones need to hurry, Ruby's getting worried." Naruto muttered to himself while preparing a big scroll. He then smiled, "I hope they'd like my surprise, though."
"You're whipped aren't you? Don't answer that, 'cause I know you are! Ha! Wait till I tell Kushina about this!" A deep and powerful voice laughed out.
Naruto gave the voice a middle finger, "Screw you Kurama, go to hell."
"We don't have a hell, you idiot."
"Right. Anyway, since when were you friends with mom, though? Thought you hated her."
"I-I am not friends with that hairless monkey! I merely find her more amusing to talk with compared to my crazy siblings, that's all!"
"Yeah, sure bud. So what do you two gossip buddies talk about?"
"Weren't you listening to me, you insolent whelp?! We aren't friends!"
"Of course you aren't."
"...So?"
"...So I heard from Kushina, who heard from Mikoto, who heard from Izuna, that apparently Madara..."
o-o-o-o
"Looks like we're one of the firsts to arrive." Yang said as she and Blake were looking around the ruins. 'Wonder if Ruby already got here.'"It seems so." Was Blake's simple response.
"You're quite talkative, aren't ya?" Yang was met with silence and a deadpan look. She coughed into her hand to mask her amusement, 'That just proves me right.' "You don't mind if I take a cute little pony, do you?"
"Sure, go ahead." Blake started, blank look replaced with slight amusement. She then thought to something that was bothering her since she saw it, "What's with your sister's ring, If you don't mind me asking. She seems to take very good care of it. Is it an heirloom?"
"Wow, that's the longest sentence I heard you speak. But no, that isn't an heirloom. It IS important though." She jokingly said first, before noticing Blake's creepy yellow-eyed blank stare and correcting her tone.
"How so?" She was curious, not because she was interested about the story behind the ring, no. She was interested in the reason as to why a seemingly clumsy girl like Ruby be given such a ring. 'It looked very precious and expensive.'
"It's a gift." And that's all Yang said, before thinking to herself, 'Another person asking that question. She's probably gonna be surprised at the reason too. Why're they so surprised though? We hunters and huntresses tend to have shorter lifespans.'
Blake figured out that Yang wouldn't tell her the reason so she stayed quiet. And that silence lingered for a couple of moments before Yang asked another question,
"Do you mind if we wait here a little longer?" Yang got a shake of the head for an answer.
Though, it wasn't long before someone disturbed the sound of silence once more.
"-iya! Hiya! Charge forward, my mighty steed! Charge! Gyahahaha!" The ever eccentric Nora said while riding atop a large Ursa, before accidentally hitting it with Magnhild, a war hammer/grenade launcher combo, that she was swinging around, "Aww, it's broken!"
Then, a second voice was heard, this one seemingly winded, "Nora! Please don't do that again! Ever." It was the girl's friend, Lie Ren. He looked around and noticed that his partner was once again gone, "Ugh, that girl is gonna be the death of me, I just know it."
"Oooh~!" Nora said, now in the temple and starting at a golden rook relic before swiping it and started signing, "Hahaha! I'm the queen of the castle~! I'm the queen of the castle~!"
"NORA!"
"Coming Ren~!" Nora said as she skipped towards her exhausted-looking partner.
'Probably from dealing with that girls antics.' Blake thought to herself, before noticing the figurative elephant in the room, er, ruins, "Wait, did that girl just ride an Ursa?"
"I-" as Yang was about to answer, before being interrupted by a loud shout.
"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Jaune said, as he appeared out of nowhere along with Pyrrha, while running away from two big Grimm and a small pack of Beowolves; a Deathstalker, a huge scorpion-looking Grimm, and a Nevermore, a giant raven-lookalike.
"Did those two just ran all the way here with all those fem chasing them?" Blake asked, wide-eyed and shocked, but quickly recovered for the conflict that's about to come.
"I-" Yang tried to answer once more, but was interrupted by something distracting. And by that, she meant 'a Grimm is about to attack someone (Jaune) and that someone is unprepared' distracting.
Luckily for Jaune, a giant red and black scythe quickly ripped through the Grimm, which is a Beowolf, with a couple of red rose petals were floating around, saving his life. The owner's voice then called out, "Looks like we arrived right on time, huh Weiss?"
Not waiting for a response, Ruby Rose quickly made work of the monstrous werewolves along with everyone else, who started attacking after hearing Ruby speak.
Unknown to everyone else, Ruby was currently talking to someone, someone who's in trouble in her opinion, 'Why did you take so long?'I-' Naruto tried to explain himself before Ruby cut him off
'Did you know how worried I was? I thought you got into some kind of trouble when you weren't back this morning! You said you'd only take a couple of hours! You took almost a day! A day! At the least you could've warned! What do you have to say for yourself, mister?' Ruby finished with a mental glare aimed at her husband.
'...You didn't check your scroll, did you?' Naruto asked
'I did so!'
'The pa-on your left. The paper-type scroll?' He clarified, while she hooked the blade of the scythe at the neck of the Beowolf and pulled the trigger, launching her back along with a severed Grimm head.
'...We really need to give them different names.' Ruby told him, unaware that a Big Bad Beowolf was stalking towards the Red Riding Hooded Reaper. Naruto was about to warn her, but someone called out faster.
"On your right!" Yang suddenly called out, before she jumped towards her sister and on the Beowolf. She grabbed it's neck with her legs before aiming Ember Celica at its head and firing. The giant lumbering wolf was now a giant lumbering corpse falling to the ground.
"Thanks sis!" Ruby called out before ensuring the fray once more. She then took notice of the two most dangerous Grimm in the field were preparing to attack and the thinning numbers of the pack were gathering closer. "Everyone! Regroup!"
"How did you guys even manage to get the attention of so many Grimm in the first place?" Weiss asked in an irritated manner. Who wouldn't be irritated? Second day, SECOND DAY, of school and your life's already in danger.
"Less talking, more fighting!" Yang shouted while making her way towards her sister. She had to deck a few Beowolves before arriving at the location, "Any plans, sis?"
After everyone gathered up, Ruby spoke up, "Yeah. Weiss can you immobalize the Deathstalker?"
Weiss scoffed, "That's merely child's play." She then prepared her rapier and made an ice glyph appear underneath the giant scorpion and froze a few of its legs, "Done."
"Good! Yang, you're with me! Nora, think you can come with us to break a few legs with that hammer?" Ruby asked while preparing her scythe.
"Breaking legs is what Magnhild and I live for!" Nora exclaimed as she, Yang, and Ruby charged at the temporarily immobalize Deathstalker.
"Let's bring them support, guys! Weiss, Blake, let's finish the remaining Beowolves. Ren, Pyrrha, shoot at the Nevermore to keep it distracted. C'mon!" Jaune said while preparing his sword and shield, Crocea Mors, and began slashing at the humanoid Grimm with the help of Blake and Weiss.
Weiss was slashing ferociously and yet graciously at the enemies, remaining as graceful as ever. She was, however, irked that someone dared to order her around, "You better pray that we live through this, Arc! Or I'll-" she was cut off as she was forced to dodge a lunge from one of the Grimm.
She then spun on her heel, created a glyph to boost her speed, and dashed at the offending Grimm, running it through with Myrtenaster, "Tch, that's what you get."
"Talk down to its corpse later, Schnee. We still have a few Beowolves to deal with." Blake while slashing at a mid-lunge Beowolf with her cleaver scabbard while shooting at another with Gambol Shroud, her pistol/katana.
She had to dodge to the side when a Beowolf attempted a slash. She jumped backwards and had Gambol Shroud fold before attaching her ribbon to it, creating a makeshift chained sickle. She then spun her weapon over her head, before slashing at every enemies available to her, a.k.a. every Beowolf. Of course, this only irritated the Schnee, of which she sent a smirk towards.
Before anyone could question as to why she didn't do that at the beginning, Pyrrha called out, "A little help would be great, guys!"
Jaune quickly dished out orders, "Blake and Ren, shoot that bird down! Come on, Weiss, let's help slay a giant scorpion!" Of course, this irritated Weiss a little, though she didn't voice it this time.
As they got closer to the trio, they could hear Ruby give Nora and Yang orders, "-oid the claws, Yang! Try and shoot at the stinger, Nora! I'll try and slice off a limb or four!" She then dashed in close and began on slashing on the legs and claws while avoiding attacks from the now-free-but-now-sluggishly-moving Deathstalker.
"Got it!" "Roger Roger!"
Yang and Nora replied as they followed the given orders. Nora jumped away from the scorpion and transformed her war hammer, Magnhild into a grenade launcher and began shooting out rounds at the stinger while avoiding friendly fire. Yang, meanwhile was running towards the Grimm while weaving left and right to avoid its onslaught. When she got close enough, she jumped on its carapace and unleashed a barrage of fire-fueled, forced-rage induced, bullet-infused punches.
"Need any help, Ruby?" Jaune's asked when he and Weiss got in Ruby's hearing range.
"Yeah. Mind freezing the tail, partner?" Ruby asked as she successfully cut down a claw along with three legs.
"Not at all." And so she did, by utilizing Myrtenaster and making an ice glyph just behind the Deathstalker with her remaining ice Dust. "It's done, Ruby! You better hurry up though! That won't hold for too long!"
'Not even a week of meeting each other and they're working great together, like a well-oiled machine.' Naruto thought, observing everyone, taking in their fighting styles, and assessing their skills, 'They're better than the old team seven. Hope being Hokage's giving Sasuke white hair.'
Ruby, unaware of her husband thoughts but aware of his mirth, replied to Weiss, "Got it! Nora, hit its mask! Yang, get out of there!" She then went behind the Grimm herself, being one of the few in the group to do so quickly, and immediately unfolded Crescent Rose and began unleashing a barrage of high caliber bullets at the frozen segment of the tail.
Yang, tired of being immobile for a while, shouted, "What now?!"
Before Ruby, who's still shooting at the Deathstalker (although subconsciously), could shout out an answer, the tail then broke and fell towards the Grimm's weakened and cracked mask (thanks to Yang and Nora), which resulted in the things death at the same time Pyrrha, Blake, and Ren disposed of the Nevermore.
Everyone then went quiet, save for Nora's humming, who was happily skipping towards the Deathstalker corpse and then proceeded to poke it, while saying 'poke' every time she did so.
"...That happened." Jaune said, trying to alleviate some of the tense silence, "Crazy second day of school, huh?"
"Awww, it went poof~!"
"Nora, n-not now, please."
o-o-o-o
A/N: Okay, I know that only few people ever read the A/N's, especially the ones at the bottom, but I'm gonna do it, still. So I skipped the actual night before the initiation, changed out the beginning interactions, and made some characters OOC (Namely Jaune being actually somewhat skilled at the beginning of the story [And before anyone asks, he didn't forge his papers, he earned them. The poor sap he stole one from in canon? Dead]). But like I always say, 'Fuck this!' Or in this case, fuck canon, right?
Also, about Kurama being in the Pure Lands. Who's to say it (no gender~) can't go there? Probably the people who're gonna say that, 'If that's possible, then why didn't the tailed beasts do it before, huh bitch?!?'. So my answer to that equation is... Naruto's godly intervention. They're his friends, and he'd do anything to help his friends (And that's a fact in canon.)
To that person who said that My version of Naruto's a Gary Stu? Isn't Canon-Naruto a Gary Stu in some ways? Handsome, friendly, approachable, etc. This is a serious question, by the way. So I'd like an answer if your able, dude-or-dudette-whose-name-I-don't-know. Sorry 'bout that.
'How about Jaune nearly freezing up when he and Pyrrha were in the cave but he gave out decent orders out in the field with the others, Mr. Unorthodox? How do you explain that?'. Someone's gonna ask that question (probably), but I have an answer prepared. He was just frightened, he also had common sense. Wouldn't you be afraid of something suddenly seemingly popping out of nowhere in the dark? I know I'd be. Also, since I'm giving him prior training, he knows which is which, i.e. Grimm he can take, those he can't, Dusts, semblance, etc, and yes he knows his semblance. I'll give you a hint; It's something that concerns the color gray, something that existed in the elemental nations, and it's NOT the speculated super strength semblance in canon.
Also, got my first flame! I felt so warm and nice and toasty and ooohh~~
...Yeah
Anyway, thanks for the support, guys and gals! You don't know how giddy I feel every time I read your feedbacks! I feel like a little girl frolicking in the flower fields!
So finally, I want to tell you all this... Pray to Lord Chinchin! Or else!
Nyeees~!
