(Before we begin today's chapter, I would like to apologize. I know how I promised that there would finally be lots of action in the next chapter, but didn't know how long that was going to take. I know for a fact I won't be able to complete this chapter by today even though I promised you all that I would have this chapter up! So because of this, I'm making Chapter 2 a two parter! The second part will indeed have lots of action even at the beginning, so do not worry. Okay? Anyway hope you enjoy Part 1 of The Awakening of Dragon Force! P.S., when the part comes where Damien is changing into his armor, do know this is a one time thing so you don't have to worry about it happening again. (030) Well, until he gets upgrades, but they will just be the descriptions of the upgrades he receives, which would be pretty short so not to worry! ENJOY THE STORY! P.P.S., I got an editor which is my fantastic friend Panda at the last minute..She fixed some of the stuff here but wasn't able to do it all, so in time during the week she will be working to get the edited version of this chapter! Plus I may decide that new chapters won't be up for at least two or three weeks. It depends because of editing and time schedules for both of us! So please bare with us for the ones who like the story so far. We do have lives too you know (030) I got school, while Panda has school and other work she has to do besides this and I don't want to trouble her so much with the story..Gomenasai and Arigato for understanding our situation.)

Chapter 2: The Awakening of Dragon Force! Part 1 of 2

The viewer's screen came back to life, but...something was different. The screen was black. Was it broken? Oh no, we were simply viewing that someone's eyes were closed, but whose? The voice of someone calling out as if they were trying to wake someone could be heard though.

"D…...mien...mi…" As the unknown, yet familiar voice continued trying to wake the sleeper, slowly but surely that person began to wake up with the voice becoming clearer. With each blink the viewer could make out a woman with light green eyes, a pair of well known glasses and finally, a very familiar hairstyle in the rwby universe. Finally with both eyes finally opened fully, it could be seen the person was being woken up by none other than Glynda Goodwitch.

"Damien!" Glynda shouted as the viewer's screen shifted to the side to show Glynda standing at the side of Damien's bed with Damien laying on his back. He was that type of person to toss and turn in his sleep after all. After Glynda had shouted, Damien yelped in surprise as he sat up wrapping his wings around himself blushing lightly.

"M-mom?! What the heck, I was sleeping!" Damien stated before looking to the left to where the clock was. The clock showed it was 5:30 in the morning. One and a half hours before any other student would wake to get ready for the day ahead of them. "Why are you waking me up so early? Ugh.." Damien laid back down with his wings still around himself, right before unwrapping one of his wings in order to grab a pillow that was to the side of him. He plopped it on his face in order to hide his eyes from the light his lamps up above were casting.

"Come on Damien, it's time to get up! We have a long day ahead of us, so please get up!" Glynda said as she began shaking Damien, becoming increasingly upset with her son for not listening.

"Mm MmMmm Mm.." Came Damien's muffled voice for, "I don't wanna." When Glynda heard this, her frustration reached its peak, so without hesitation, she used her Riding Crop(her wand) to levitate Damien from bed. He began to spin around, causing him to panic. "H-Hey! P-put me down! Please!" He pleaded as Glynda began spinning him faster. His wings flew to cover his mouth as he struggled to keep his dinner down. "F-fine! I-I'll g-get..u-up! J-just p-please stop before I- hngh...p-puke.." Seeing how her son had had enough torture, she finally stopped spinning him before setting him down upon his bed. Dizzy from spinning, his eyes turned to spirals and miniature stars with chibi dragons chasing after them appeared. After a few seconds, Damien managed to disperse his dazed state, however he glared at his mother.

A slight giggle escaped from Glynda upon seeing Damien's grumpy look, but she swiftly reigned in her delight and kept her cool as she crossed her arms and made eye contact. "If you're wondering why I woke you up so early Damien, then you must have forgotten about the promise you made to your father and me..." Upon hearing her statement, Damien's annoyed looked changed into one of embarrassment to which a sweat emoji appeared behind his head.

"O-oh yeah…" Damien began as he recalled the promise he had made to both his parents last year, saying he would attend this year's Initiation for not wanting to go to the last one. Damien sighed as he rubbed the back of his head, his embarrassment making itself visible on his cheeks. He had never forgotten a promise, or ever broken one! "A-apologies mother..I guess it slipped my mind after all that has happened this year...I-I'll get ready right now, okay?" Damien murmured as he stopped rubbing his head and smiled softly towards his mother.

Glynda couldn't help but sigh as she had to admit herself, the year had been hectic, especially with what she had to deal with upon meeting Ruby Rose in their battle against Cinder for the first time. "I understand Damien, this year has been quite busy, so no worries. After you get ready, come eat breakfast with your father and me...I made your favorite~" This made Damien's eyes widen once more, but this time, it was more like when Ruby sees a new weapon for the first time. Especially a very awesome one.

"Y-you don't mean..?" Damien began with eyes sparkling like never before. Now you may be wondering what breakfast meal could be causing Damien to act in such a way. Well, faunus animals have different types of favorite meals, such as Blake loving tuna, or Sun liking bananas. Since Damien is a dragon faunus, his would be dust crystals. Sure they like to eat any gem, but dust crystals are significantly more delectable than regular old gems. The breakfast Glynda had made, or rather prepared for our dragon hero, would be a big bowl of fire dust crystals. Great for ammunition as well as making a delicious treat for Damien.

Glynda just smiled before nodding to her son, causing the drake to sprint over to his mother, giving her a loving hug and a kiss on the cheek before darting off as fast as he could into his bathroom to get ready for the day. Glynda's cheeks bloomed into a rosy tint from her son's show of affection, but she placed a hand on her kissed cheek, a heart warming smile worming its way across her face. She always loved seeing her adopted son happy considering what had happened to him at such a young age. It always brought a smile when he was happy. Glynda walked out of the room to go eat breakfast with her husband until Damien came to join them.

Due to his passion for fire dust crystals, it only took Damien 12 minutes to get showered and dressed. Once Damien was changed he ran straight to the dining room where all the teachers, including his mother and father, were all eating at. Seeing as how Damien had trust issues, one would think he would worry about Professor, or how he usually likes to be called, Doctor Oobleck as well as Professor Port? Well truth be told, both Port and Oobleck were like family to Damien, Oobleck being the funny and hyperactive uncle. Even though Ozpin and Oobleck weren't related, Damien still considered him as an uncle since he reminded him of his Uncle Fang. As for Professor Port, he reminded Damien of his great great grandfather, Ash, well for the story parts that is..As for the secret perverted side Port was known to possibly have, he reminded Damien of his great grandfather, Leather-Scales.

Within the dining room, Glynda, Ozpin, Oobleck, and Port were all sitting in the usual spots at the dining room's table. Glynda and Ozpin were sitting next to one another, Ozpin was eating a cheese omelet with black coffee to drink while Glynda was eating blueberry waffles with half and half cup of coffee. Doctor Oobleck was reading the weekly Vale newspaper while enjoying a fresh batch of coffee which was inside his weapon canister made with a heap load sugar with no milk added for he had a cheese danish on the side, he was sitting one chair away from Proffessor Port and two chairs away from Glynda. Finally for Professor Port, he was enjoying a nice cup of tea while eating some delicious french toast with a side of blueberry muffins. As the four teachers were enjoying their breakfast, Ozpin noticed Damien still hasn't arrived for breakfast yet. Upon noticing, he checked his watch to see what time it was before turning to his wife after drinking some of his black coffee.

"Glynda? You did wake up Damien for breakfest correct?" He asked as he turned to his wife who was drinking some of her own coffee.

Upon hearing her husband asking that question, she turned to the dining room's doors and checked her own watching before saying "He should be coming in about...five...four...three...two..and...one" She said as she was doing a countdown with her fingers. Upon reaching to zero, the doors of the dining room blasted open only for a blush flash dart past the two other teachers.

All you could hear from the blue flash which was Damien running to his seat next to his father as he passed by Oobleck and Port was "MorningOobleck,morningPort!" Damien said in a very fast speed though both Oobleck and Port knew what damien was saying for they both replied to him in a matter of seconds.

"Morning Damien" Both Oobleck and Port said at the same time as they continued eating their own breakfast.

Damien quickly took his seat next to his father staring at the big bowl of fire dust crystals with the same expression Blake had when she saw the big bowl of tuna in front of her from the video on youtube showing the four girls sitting at a ramen booth after they had finished their match from the tournament. Before Damien began chomping away at the crystals he turned and blushed a bit in embarrassment before speaking "S-sorry I'm late mother and father especially forgetting about the promise...Morning by the way h-heh" He said as he rubbed the back of his head with a sweat drop icon going down the side of his face.

"Good morning to you too Damien, also it's alright as long as you're here and will help out with today's Initiation, then all is fine." Ozpin said right before taking another sip of his coffee to which Damien looked over to his mother for which Glynda just simply nodded letting Damien know it was fine with her too. Upon seeing this, Damien nodded back before looking back at his breakfast to begin chowing down on those fire dust crystals. For Damien the dust crystals are like rock candy for him, except they are full of nutrition, spiciness, and energy for Damien, for others they are very spicy even for a small sprinkle of fire dust, but Damien knows of a way to make fire dust sprinkles edible with a delicious treat~ But we shall save that for another chapter, possibly the next or the one after that.

As Damien continued to eat dust crystal after dust crystal like ruby rose does when given a plate of chocolate chip cookies, Glynda looked over to Damien and thought it was about time to ask Damien what was going on in the assembly especially if he knew that Yang girl she looked up after going over the transcripts of the new arrivals. "So..Damien, tell us..why were you staring at this Yang girl for so long during the assembly? Have you two met before, or are you two old acquaintances of some sorts?" Glynda asked as everyone at the table all except damien raised an eyebrow and turned towards Damien as they were wondering who he was staying at when they were all there at the assembly seeing all of the new arrivals. They also wondered who or what Damien was staring at, for this spiked their interest very much. Upon hearing what his mother just said he choked when he was about to swallow some of the dust crystals he chomped up after putting a piece in his mouth, he quickly grabbed his drink which was a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice before coughing a bit after nearly choking on dust crystal bits.

"W-what?!" Damien shocked from what his mother said right after getting his voice back together caused him to blush deeply from embarrassment, as well as she finding out about him staring at Yang "I-I um..d-don't know what you talking about" Damien wasn't a very good liar when it comes to embarrassing situations, for when he does lie about these situations his face would start to get sweaty and he would begin to speak a bit fast. Everyone just shook their heads as they knew he was lying. This caused Damien to sigh and mutter a cuss word under his breathe "F-fine.." He began before looking down still blushing in embarrassment "S-she's just this random girl I met..well not personally..but I believe we have a connection somehow..I don't know what...but we just do..I rather not get into details right now for we have a full day ahead of us alright?" He spoke in a somewhat annoyed tone as he began drinking his orange juice once more.

"If she's just some random girl, then why was she blushing while petting her hair Damien?" Glynda questioned as Damien continued to drink his orange juice trying to ignore her question the best he could while blushing extremely mad. Bust his ignoring wouldn't last long for what Professor Port was about to say.

"Maybe she's gonna be the future Mrs. Draco later on" Port said joking causing Damien to spit out his orange juice from complete shock while his face was steamy red. Port just shook his head for there was no need for Damien spitting out perfectly good orange juice, but it kinda was for this did not only shock Damien, but also Glynda, Oobleck, and even somewhat Ozpin but only stunned him for a couple of seconds before resuming on drinking his black coffee.

Damien just shook his head furiously as he stood up out of his seat and began walking off "I'm going to be at the Emerald Forest setting up this year's relics.. if you need me you know where to find me! By the time I'm done, initiations should be starting okay?" He said as he opened the door of the dining room ready to leave but not before saying "Thanks for the breakfast mother..it was delicious.." Damien just walked off to his room to get his armor on him as well as to get the relics for this year's initiation after he got his armor on

Upon Damien leaving, Glynda turned to port with a highly upset look at him. Port just looked at her while a sweat icon came down from the back of his head. "W-what? Was it something I said?" Port asked only for Oobleck to smack Port across the head with his canister in weapon form while still reading the newspaper right when Port was about to take another bite out of his muffin only for it to be smooshed across his face after being hit across the head with Oobelck's weapon. There was even a large bump on top of Port's head. After wiping his face from the now squished muffin that he held in his hand, Port turned to Oobleck with quite the upset look on his face "What the bloody hell was that for Oobleck?!" Port asked only for him to get a second bump on top of his head from Oobleck once again. Before Port had a chance to speak once more, he got his answer from Oobleck who set the newspaper down and looked at Port with a very stern look across his face.

"The reason I hit your head Port, is because what you said earlier to Damien...that was highly uncalled for!" Oobleck began as took a quick bite out of his danish before continuing "There's a time and place to joke around, but that time wasn't now..I believe you owe Damien an apology after Initiations are done.." After that was said, Oobleck went back to reading the Vale newspaper. Port just sighed as now he felt guilty for what he did...he told himself he would make sure his apology was worth the forgiveness of Damien after the Invitations were done. After all that had happened in the dining room, everyone just went back to eating their remaining breakfast to prepare for the day.

Meanwhile, Damien walked to his room as fast as he could, for he was not in the mood of talking to anyone who crossed his path, he just wanted to get out of here and have some alone time by himself before the Initiations began. Upon entering his room, Damien went straight to the changing room, this time we will be able to see the process of how Damien gets his armor on! When Damien stepped into the large machine that was for his armor, he leaned into an eye scanner in order for the machine to recognize that it was Damien. Once the eye scan was finished, Damien stood in a star formation, his wings were unfolded and spread out as wide as they could, his tail stayed in one position as still as it could. His arms were held up to the side his palms facing down to the ground, and finally his legs were spread apart from one another only a couple of inches away from each other. As Damien stood this way for a couple of seconds Damien spoke these commands in order for the process of the armor to attach to his body to begin.

"Dragon King Mech Armor-Prototype 7738(yes that's how many times he tried various different prototypes before he finally got a very successful prototype to work, he's worked on it for 6 years before finally getting it right. Anyway let's continue) Commence Armor Attachment Process, Engage!" With those commands said, the entrance leading into the machine shut behind him before the platform he stood on glowed light green to show that the process was about to begin. Within a matter of milliseconds Damien was hoisted up a bit in order to be able to get the dragon combat boots on. The dragon combat boots had three sharp claws attached to the front side of the boots, while one spike in the back. Anyway once the boots were placed onto Damien's feet, the mechanical arms that hoisted Damien up, set him down and brought out two halves of a chest plate, they were cut in half from top to bottom, but when they were brought out Damien put his arms into the arm sockets of the two halves. Once his arms were fully in the sockets, the two chest halves were brought together and once they were connected a light blue light shined on the line created by the two halves only for it to seal the two chest plates as if the chest plate was placed on normally. On the back side of the now connected chest plate, there was one big hole in the back of the chest plate just for Damien's wings, as for the front side his emblem was on the front side of his chest plate(i won't give details of the emblem for I am leaving that as a surprise for the new cover art to show it~).

After the chest plate was placed on, a smaller robotic arm and hand was holding a mechanical dragon scaled band, to which it placed the band at the very base of Damien's tail. Once it was, the band wrapped around the entire base of his tail began quickly covering the entire tail with shiny dark blue dragonscale armor all around the entire tail before there was an opening at the tip of armor since the armor extended past the tip of Damien's tail. This opening was for a long razor edge blade to be placed into the opening socket for damien to use his tail just like a scorpion tail. For Damien's wings two halves of armored wings in the shape of Damien's wings appeared for both sides of his wings. The armored wings came down slowly before attaching the shelves onto Damien's, the plates that made of armored wings were made with a very strong, yet light metal capable to withstand crushing blows or attacks of any kind, think of it as a very large shield. On the top side of the wings was a long razor sharp blade going all the way across the top side of Damien's wings so that if he flying at a very fast speed, he could cut down trees or even his enemies with ease. After the armored wings were placed on Damien's own wings, knee pads were placed onto Damien's knees since he has yet to make the leggings for his armor. As for the final parts, Damien's dragon claw gauntlets were the second to last parts to be placed onto Damien, as for the final part it would be his helmet which was slowly placed onto his head, once it was one the eyes on the helmet glowed light blue to show that the helmet was activated, behind the mask was a screen showing was the outside of the helmet sees as well as Damien's aura level and armor durability. After all this was done, Damien had his full armor placed onto him to which he exited out of the changing station and began walking to where this year's initiation relics would be at.

After walking down the corridor, he entered the initiation prep room where the transcripts of each student, the map of the emerald forest, and this year's relics would be at. Upon entering he noticed the student transcript screen going through each and every student who would be participating in this year's initiation. One of the transcripts that popped up, was Yangs. Damien began thinking to himself for a moment wondering if he should do what he was thinking...but didn't come up with a decision. So he would think about this decision he thought up in his mind before the initiations begin. What this decision you may ask he was thinking about? I will not say for it will be revealed upon the launching sequence after all the students have been launched to begin the initiation. Anyway Damien turned towards the box where this year's relics would be at but when he saw them, they brought back so many memories when he first came to beacon as a child. The relics this year was the chess pieces he and his father which was Ozpin use to play when they were younger, it was a fun game, and helped grow Damien's mind with better strategy tactics as well as future planning. For Ozpin to use these chess pieces as relics this year, was a mystery to Damien. But it did make Damien somewhat happy to see that he was using the exact same chess pieces when they played with one another before Damien began his major studying under Ozpin's wing with mechanics, tech, and robotics.

Though Damien wanted to stay a bit more longer and remember the times he had with Ozpin when he was younger, he had a job to do and that was to head to the Emerald Forest. After acquiring the box of chess pieces and placing them in a satchel bag, Damien headed off to his room to where he would take off and fly straight to the emerald forest. A couple of minutes passed and Damien was ready to take off, before he did he set a timer on his helmet to let him know when he should head to Beacon Cliff since the Initiations should be starting in 5 minutes right after his timer reached zero. After setting the timer, Damien took a couple steps back before running off the edge of the platform and began flying towards the emerald forest at a very fast speed thanks to the flamethrowers on his gauntlets. What Damien didn't know is that one faunus girl in particular was one very early bird or in this case cat saw him fly off.

Down below, on the ballroom's roof, Blake woke up really early before anyone else woke up just to get some fresh air away from the stuffed up room, especially since her sense of smell was a bit more better than others and let's just say, the scent of sweat and other orders in their was quite unpleasant for her to stay asleep. As Blake sat on the roof reading her "Ninjas of Love" trying her best not to have personal time with herself while she ate of can of tuna. As he continued all of a sudden she heard the sound of a rocket type sound being blasted away high above her head, when she looked up she saw Damien flying high above using his Flamethrowers to go past the ballroom as fast as he could. Blake could only just stare wondering if that was the same person Ruby and Yang were talking about earlier that day which was was 12 am when that incident occurred.

As Blake watched Damien fly past up above she couldn't help but have a spike of interest on finding out if he was a fellow Faunus or not since he had wings and a tail. "Hmm...maybe...just..maybe.." She said before shaking her head knocking away the feeling she had thinking he was actually a faunus right before she continued reading her perverted book.

1 hour later….

After finally finding the temple since it has been a year since he's last been there. Damien began placing the main pieces of chess on each pedestal before finally finishing. When he was done he checked his helmet screens timer seeing that the timer would end in about 10 minutes. So he had time to kill. So Damien decided to patrol the area a bit before heading off to the cliffs where his mother and father would be waiting with all of the other students who were probably chatting amongst one another about what they face and who they hoped to team up with. Upon Damien's patrol his body couldn't help but shiver even though his armor had built in heater to keep his body warm. This was...strange because...he has never felt this much coldness in his body for a very very long time..Last time he did..was when his village was attacked. When he turned towards the left, his eyes widened when he saw a large black energy pulsing orb floated past him a couple feet away. Damien didn't know what the hell that was but whatever the hell it was..he sure as hell didn't like this awful feeling he was having.

Before he had a chance to chase after the black orb the timer on his helmet went off telling him he should head off to Beacon cliffs. "Damn it!...I best let mother and father know about what I just saw...I pray to Sembaura it was just my imagination…" Damien said right before opening his wings and taking off into the air flying towards the Beacon Cliffs..but right after Damien left, the black orb returned before a red sinister dragon like eye appeared within the orb staring at the screen of the viewer's, right before disappearing off to the side of the screen.

Meanwhile on Beacon Clif 5 minutes before the Initiation begins….

All the students were chanting amongst one another for they had 3 more minutes of chatting to each other before having to go on a platform the laid before them. While Glynda and Ozpin were chatting about this strange aura energy that seemed to be screwing with their drones they had sent out for them to be able to monitor all that was going on.

"I don't like the looks of this Oz..should we postpone today's initiations and have a team of huntsman and huntresses investigate these strange readings?" Glynda asked for she had quite a worried expression on her face, even though she didn't show it to the students so they could see, she was still worried and had a bad feeling something might happen during the initiations.

"No..today's initiations will continue, I want to see what each and every student we have here today have what it takes to stay in this school or not.." Ozpin said as he took a sip of his coffee before hearing a flapping of wings with the sound of flames being blasted in the air. Blake was the first to hear thanks to her cat ears behind her bow, she turned towards the cliff a few seconds before Ozpin did. Before long everyone was hearing the exact same thing before they all turned to face the cliff. Upon turning they saw a figure flying through the air flying straight towards them flapping its wings every 4 seconds while flying at an alarming rate.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" Cardin was the first to speak up as he pulled out his weapon just in case, ready to bash Damien if he got near them

Weiss just stared at the figure in shock as she was in complete disbelief that Yang and Ruby was telling the truth about the person they flying by the transport ship was actually really flying "I-it can't be...It just can't!" She shouted only to get giggle from both Ruby and Yang glad that Ice Princess was proven wrong about the person to which Yang knew who it was, that flew by the transport ship actually came here to the initiation. Though Yang couldn't help but have a slight blush across her face wondering if this still was the same Damien.

Before Damien reached the cliff since he was a short ways to go he spotted that everyone was staring at him, this caused his heart to skip a beat for fear was starting get to him for the only student he could trust right now was Yang..as for the rest not so much. So before he landed on the cliff Damien activated his voice changer to make his voice sound a little bit more older as well as it sounding a bit distorted for he wasn't sure if any of the students were white fang members or not. Upon landing, all he had was eye staring at him taking in what they were looking at not sure whether those wings were robotic or the real deal with just armor on it. A ton just believed they were fake but rarely a bit of them believed they were real. Blake was one of them for she was able to get a better scent off of Damien, let her know he was indeed a Faunus but using armor to make other believe he was just using robotic wings and tail.

Damien looked at his parents before looking at the students once more and back to his parents right before speaking. "Sorry I'm late Ozpin..I had to take care of a few things..but the relics are all set" Damien spoke as his voice was a lot more older sounding and distorted to make it hard to identify the voice. Yang and Blake knew that wasn't his real voice, since for one Yang her his actual voice when that trance was going on, and as for blake she knew he was disguising his voice so others wouldn't identify him in case his secret got out though she had a feeling Ozpin and Glynda knew he was a faunus. As for the rest of the students, most thought the older sounding part was his voice thinking he was possibly a huntsman or teacher of some sorts, while others though he was a cyborg! Even Jaune and a little bit of Ruby were a bit spooked by his voice strange voice.

"It's fine DK..(DK stands for Dragon King for short)..Now then let us begin with the-" Before Ozpin had a chance to continue Cardin whose always a freakin douche for he decided to ask was DK stands for

"Hey! Cyborg freak! What the hell does DK stand for? Douche Knight?!" This caused cardin future teammates to laugh only for the rest to just become quite annoyed or upset towards Cardin. Especially Glynda who was about ready to use her levitation to slam Cardin into the ground with the others who laughed but was stopped by Ozpin who shook his head for Damien had this under control. After being called this Damien just simply walked over to Cardin and stood in front of him, sure he was a bit more taller than Damien, but that doesn't change that fact that Damien could easily make this bastard cry for his mommy "What the hell do you want Douche Knight?"

Damien just simply stared at the tall guy, for he really wanted to sent Cardin packing but in do time his time will come. For Damien's reply to Cardin's was this "Says the Douche Knight himself." This caused the others all except Cardin's future team to laugh as Cardin having the title Douche Knight was far better fitting for Cardin than Damien. Damien just smiled softly glad that others liked his comeback but he had to stay serious.. "Look kid, I don't know who the hell you are, I don't care if you're from a rich family. Just know that I could easily send you crying back to your mommy or daddy. .Understand?!" Damien said in a very unpleased tone as he raised his hand up with his palm a few inches away from Cardin's chin only for the claws on Damien's gauntlets to extend all the way up to where it was stabbing into Cardin's chin a bit. This caused carden to tiptoe a bit not wanting the claws to pierce his chin but boy did it piss him off. Believing he had enough shit thrown at him Damien retracted the claws back to his gauntlet and turned around to walk back to his parents.

But right before he got a couple of feet away from Cardin, Cardin pulled out his mace and began running towards Damien completely pissed off, but right before Glynda or another student could intervene, Damien's tail wrapped around Cardin's leg before pulling up wards hard causing him to fall back hard. Before Cardin could get up, Damien's tail pointed the long razor sharp blade right in front of Cardin's eyes. Damien looked back while he damien their keeping the blade in front of Cardin's eyes. Damien just spoke in a stern heartless voice thanks to the voice changer on his mask. "Don't ever...try that again..it will be the last thing you see or do, especially if you're being nothing but a coward on trying to do foul play. Also if you wonder what DK stands for, for me it's Dragon King so get it right Douche Knight." He said as he began walking off back to his parents only for Cardin to just sit their a bit stunned on almost losing one of his eyes. It took cardin a couple more seconds before snapping out of it and hurry up to get back up and back to his original spot glaring at the students who couldn't help but snicker or chuckle at Cardin for being brought down a whole notch.

Meanwhile while this was all happening Yang couldn't help but feel a bit more attracted to Damien, for it was quite funny see how Cardin's new title The Douche Knight fits him perfectly. Though she wondered if Dragon King was the name of Damien's Armor since the helmet was shaped like a dragon's head after all. Even though she's more of a vehicle freak than a weapons freak like her sister is, she still had curiosity about Damien's armor. So she decided to ask her sister about it, but when she about to speak to her sister she couldn't help but giggle seeing how Ruby changed into Chibi Ruby with eyes sparkling as Ruby just stared at the armor seeing how she was getting a bit more extra of what the armor could do from what Damien demonstrated on Cardin. Yang decided to ask Damien another time when ever they got the chance to meet again and just watched the show continue on.

After all this happened with Damien returning to the side of his parents. Ozpin began his speech once more. "Before I was rudely interrupted by Mister Cardin Winchester, lets us begin the initiation shall we?" Everyone just nodded before walking over to the launch platforms waiting for both Ozpin and Glynda's speech to begin, maybe even Damien could say some stuff within the speech as well. "For years, you have been trained to become warriors. And today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."

Glynda looked at each at everystudent right before saying her part of the speech "Now, I'm sure many of you have been hearing the assignment of teams. Well, let's put an end to your confusion. You'll be given teammates…" She began with a brief pause only to finish with an answer that sure wasn't going to make Ruby happy "Today."

Ruby really was hoping that the team mates would be given at a later date so her weapon could do the talking for her. But now she had to do her full best in order to impress the students. "What? Aww.." She was a bit disappointed but at least it can't get any worse….right?

Ozpin began his speech once more, and for what he was about to say sure wasn't going to please Ruby. "These teammate will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So, it is in your best interest to be paired up with someone you could work well" this caused ruby to Aw once more before Ozpin finish this part of the speech "That being said, the first person you make eye contact with when you land will be your partner for the next four years."

As soon as Ozpin said that, Ruby's chances of hope of partnering with her sister came crashing down as she could stare in complete disbelief of this happening to her only for her to respond seconds later "What?!" Ruby shouted clenching her fists with a highly disappointed look on her face, though one girl in particular didn't seem worried at all because of her high spirited personality of knowing she'll be able to partner up with her crush by hiding in the shadows until she could find her crush.

That person would be none other than Nora Valkyrie who cheerfully said "See, I told you!" to her long time childhood friend Ren who was paying close attention to the speech being presented to them.

This time it was Damien's turn to speak "After you've all paired up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. Be warned, for you will need opposition along the way. Don't hesitate to kill anything in your way especially if they are Grimm, for you will die if you're not prepared." Damien began since he wasn't quite done with his part, but it did make Jaune gulp with fear for he wasn't that very good as a fighter..well for now that is. Anyway Damien continued with the last part of his speech "The Grimm here have been acting very strange lately, they are more... intelligent and far more dangerous than they usually are. I can't explain why..but please, do becareful. We wouldn't want a certain someone go crying home to his mommy now would we?" Damien said as he smirked under his mask as he looked towards Cardin who really hated Damien's remark there. But it did cause some of the student's to either giggle or chuckle to Damien's remark.

After Damien's part of the speech Ozpin continued to where he left off "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 and return to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item, as well as you're standing and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?"

Once Ozpin asked that question, Jaune was the one who actually had a question tried to ask it "Yeah,um,..sir?" but you know how that turns out

Ozpin who simply ignored Jaune, spoke "Good. Now, take your positions" Upon saying that, everyone standing on a launch platform began taking their positions ready to be launched into the Emerald Forest all except one which was Jaune since he was still trying to get some answers.

"Uh, sir, I have a question…" Jaune began right when Weiss was launched from her platform "So this, landing strategy thing, what is it? Are you like dropping us off or something?" He asked to which he got an answer from Ozpin which wasn't very helpful to Juane at least.

"No, you will be falling" Ozpin spoke as one of Cardin's future team mate Russel Thrush was launched

Jaune who was still somewhat confused decided to continue his questions "Oh, I see… So, like did you hand out parachutes for us?" Once said Nora was the next to be launched away from her pad who cheerfully Woohoo after being launched.

"No, you will be falling." Ozpin said as this would be the last thing he would say to Jaune since he would be launched before he had a chance to finish his third question.

"Uh-huh..yeah.." Juan said as Cardin, Yang, and Ruby were about to be launched. Cardin just glared at Damien one last time before being launched, as for Yang, she looked at Damien one last time, giving him a smile and a wink causing Damien to blush under his helmet right before putting on her shades and being launched away. Ruby who looked at Damien just simply smiled which caused Damien to widen his eyes a bit not sure why she did that right before she too was launched away. Though Damien felt bad for Jaune since for one he wasn't in position and two, it didn't look like he had a way of a landing strategy. So before Jaune was launched and could even ask one more question, Damien spoke up.

"Hey kid..I suggest you prepare what's about to come..cause you're gonna have one hell of a ride." Damien said causing Jaune to only just simply nod and tried to get into a proper position but before he could he was launched high up into the air making him do uncontrollable somersaults in the air while screaming like a little kid while flying along side all of the other students. The camera turns to just to show Ozpin who was sipping some of his coffee and Damien with his arms crossed shaking his head before continuing to look at poor Jaune being launched the way he was. Damien then turned to his father in order to speak "I think maybe a parachute for that kid was possibly a good idea…" Ozpin just simply nodded in response for he too felt a bit worried that Jaune wouldn't make it after being launched the way he was but he still had some confidence in the boy. After the students were out of sight, Damien began thinking of the decision he thought up when he was at the initiation prep room. After seeing that black orb speed by him earlier, and this awful feeling he just couldn't shake off that something horrible was going to happen, Damien finally came to a decision. Damien then turned his body towards his mother and father who were on their scrolls trying to figure out what was going on with the drone's they had sent out since the drones seemed to be malfunctioning for some reason. "Mother..father?" Damien said with his voice disguiser now deactivated

Both Glynda and Ozpin looked up from their scrolls and straight to Damien to which they both asked at the exact same time "Yes Damien?" Damien was still not sure how they would react to what he was about to say, but he felt like it had to be done

"I um…..I think it's about time I partake in a initiation. I mean I am 19..and I still considered a student but I believe it's time I take action and..try to push my fears aside of being well...you know, found out about my heritage…" This caused Glynda and Ozpin to just stare at Damien in complete surprise. They never expected this coming from Damien but they couldn't help but feel proud of their son since he finally was starting to push some of his fears aside.

"Well then.." Glynda began wondering if that girl had something to do with Damien wanting to take part in an initiation "I'll be sure to set you up to take part in next year's initia-" Before she could finished Damien interrupted his mother only because there was no time to waste.

"No..I want to take part in this initiation that's happening right now mother" Damien said as this surprised both Glynda and Ozpin a bit more.

"But why this initiation in particular Damien?" Ozpin asked with an eyebrow raised as he held his mug near his face a bit curious ready to take another sip of his coffee

"I just..have this bad feeling something horrible might happen. Especially to that girl I told you a bit about at breakfast...I just got to make sure nothing bad happens to those kids." Damien said in a worried expression, for this feeling he was feeling about that black orb was getting worse every second Damien just stood their with his parents.

Both Glynda and Ozpin looked at one another, Glynda having the look of a fearful mother afraid to lose her child, while Ozpin had a reassuring smile on his face letting his wife know that everything was going to be alright. Finally Glynda sighed before both her and Ozpin turned to face Damien once more "F-fine..you can take part in this initiation Damien...j-just be careful out there okay?" Glynda said, still not sure if this was for the best or not.

After hearing what his mother said, Damien quickly ran over and gave his mother and father a big hug, he would have given her and him a kiss on the cheek but he had his helmet on him. "Thank you mother, thank you father! Also don't worry, I'll be fine~ I'll see you two later okay!" Damien said as he was about to get ready to jump off the cliff, before his father spoke up.

"Damien wait!..If you want to be a part of a team Damien, I suggest getting either the Black King chess piece or the White King Chess piece, if you want to choose which team you decide you'd like to be on since you are going to be the odd one out of all the others who doesn't have a partner." Ozpin said as Damien smiled under his helmet before simply nodding.

"Thank you father..Wish me luck!" Damien shouted right before jumping off the cliff and opened his wings for him to glide across the forest flapping his wings after every 4 seconds. Since he was behind the others, he used his flamethrowers to fly at a much more faster speed to get ahead knowing that they must have probably paired up by now.

As Damien flew away Glynda went over and hugged Ozpin as they both stared at their son flying off into the distance. Glynda looked up at her husband still a bit worried about all this "I still don't think he's ready Ozpin..I just have a feeling we might lose our son.." She said only for Ozpin to looked down at her with a soft smile across his face as he rubbed his wife's shoulder hoping to calm her down.

"Don't worry Glynda, everything is going to be fine. It's all part of growing up after all. I know that Damien is going to make one fine leader one of these days. He may not be a leader of a team this year, but maybe next year he will have his own team to lead on." They both looked on to see that Damien must have landed somewhere in the Emerald forest before going back to their scrolls to check on the progress of the initiations by using the drones that still seemed to work but not as much because of the strange interference they were acquiring. With that said the viewer's screen fades to black signaling that it was the end of today's episode for the next part of this 2 parter chapter would have all the action the author promised you all would finally come.
