Naruto was awakened by something sitting on his chest. He opened his garnet eyes and saw Neo giving him her ever present smirk. Neo's messy pink hair hanging over the right side of her face, her brown hair lazily flowing over her shoulder. The silent girl slowly leaned down, her heterochromatic eyes half lidded and gave his sensitive ears a lick. Naruto face lit up in a vivid red blush and now he was very awake. Around the ballroom, other initiates were waking up. Still sound asleep near them lay Ruby, Yang, Blake,Weiss, and a girl with long red hair.
Naruto began to rise, even with Neo on his chest, to begin his day. Neo, in a great display of flexibility, twisted around Naruto's body to sit on his shoulder as he got up from the simple bedroll/sleeping bag given to them by one of the supplies distributors.
"B-brrrr... Breck..." Neo struggled to speak.
"Yeah, Neo. Let's go get some breakfast." Naruto said, leaning down to grab his bedroll while Neo stretched out across his back. The black fox handed Neo his rolled up coat as he rolled his bedroll up and he stood straight.
Naruto stretched hard, arching his back, locking his arms and legs straight while raising his arms. The black clad fox was sure not to disturb the nested Neo too much. Then he uttered a single work, almost a command, "Coat." With that Neo unfurled the legendary black coat laying it over Naruto's shoulder and around her waist. The silky inner sleeve caressing Naruto's rippling muscles as he slid his arm through it. Using his left hand Naruto clasped his coat closed up to his chest, using the opening to rest his right in.
"Neo?" Neo pet Naruto's head. "Check. Badass coat?" Naruto shrugged the coat to coax it into a better fit, "Check. Bedroll rolled?" Neo held the bedroll in front of her, so Naruto can see it, "Check. Okay, le's a-go." Naruto said as he spun on his heels, toward the door. On their way out Neo tossed the bedroll into the open supplies room.
Neo's smirk grew mirthfully as she encroached upon the heavenly lands of breakfast. Naruto, having followed his nose - and only his nose - knocked into someone else looking for the cafeteria. A human girl with orange hair. Her purple eyes timidly peered out from under her brow, "Sorry." She startled a little at Naruto's voice. The orangette looked between Naruto's extended palm to his piercing ruby eyes and back. Quickly taking his hand, she yelped a little when Naruto suddenly yanked her upright. "Heh, sorry." Naruto apoligized for scaring her. "Uh, I'm Naruto." He offered his hand.
She introduced herself, "Reign. Reign Beaux." as she took Naruto's hand. "It's a pleasure." she smirked. "Wha-!" she jumped back when she saw a pair of pink eyes appear before her. As she jumped back she saw a fair girl with brown and pink hair with white high lights. From the smirk, it she seemed pleased to have frightened her.
"Neo." Naruto laughed as he gestured to the smirking girl. "My girlfriend." rubbed his neck, more out of habit than embarrassment.
"Ah." she said shortly in understanding. "Hello Neo." Reign smiled as she smoothed any wrinkles in her clothes her jump gave them. "It seemed you were in a rush when we collided..." Her purple eyes and tone implied a question.
"Oh, heh, yeah. I was following my nose, ya see. It just didn't notice you along the way to the cafeteria." Naruto rubbed his neck again, this time embarrassed, his grin almost stupid.
"Well I suppose as recompense you should guide me there." Reign said simply. Almost a command. Almost.
"Well, since you said please," Naruto teased, "sure. I'll take you to the cafeteria. Just keep up." Naruto again focused on the hypnotic smell of pancakes and warm Forever Fall syrup... Reign had trouble keeping pace for a bit. It took more than a moment to fall into step with the fleet footed fox. As he turned a corner, Reign's keen eyes saw that Naruto's eyes were closed.
When the pair got close enough for Reign's nose to follow the delicious scent of sweet, sweet nourishment, she sped up enough to playfully skip beside Naruto's quick walk. As they round a corner, a quiet girl with black hair easily walked beside Naruto. Her graceful stride disturbing not a single hair about her. Reign couldn't help but notice that she too, walked with her eyes closed.
The trio of students approached the doors to the cafeteria at once, violently flinging them open - breaking their hinges, and all at once stopped in their tracks. Their senses all assaulted with the tidal wave of smell that erupted over them from within the cafeteria.
Neo's smirk grew predatory as she saw the gigantic stacks of pancakes at the buffet. As Naruto passed a table, Neo jumped off of his shoulder and claimed a couple of corner seats for them. Swinging her legs patiently waiting for Naruto to come back with their trays.
Naruto had no trouble at all choosing what to put on their breakfast trays. Taking a generous five pancakes for each of them, a small bowl full of what looks like grape jello, Naruto picked out a couple apples and gave Neo an orange. When he got to the end of the buffet line he found a small heated tank of Forever Fall Syrup and a cooler full of light blue and white milk cartons. The cooler had a sign taped to it saying: Limit: 2 per person but like the bad boy he is, Naruto stuffed his pockets full of the small cardboard milk containers, both chocolate milk and normal 2%. Successfully pilfering a grand total of twenty or so milk cartons.
Nonchalantly walking back to the table Neo had chosen for them, he set the trays down and took out some milk for them. Giving a carton of chocolate milk for his sweet loving girlfriend along with a normal carton. "Here ya go, Neo. Now drink up while I cut up your pancakes." Naruto smiled at her while she chugged through her chocolate milk before he even grabbed the knife.
The duo was ignorant of the others pouring into the cafeteria as Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang all watched the scene before them. Neo, being as small as she was, looked like a little girl waiting for her daddy to cut up her breakfast happily sipping from a carton of milk and kicking her feet back and forth. Naruto, on the other hand, looked almost fatherly as he was smiling as he cut Neo's breakfast for her. Even going so far as to peel her orange for her. After passing it back, Neo's gentle eyes turned predatory as she practically threw the milk aside and tore into her syrup bogged pancakes.
The group of four girls was so astounded by what they saw they didn't even notice the two walking behind them until the girl started talking really excitedly, "What if we have a signal." The four looked at them and saw the girl buzzing around the boy in green, talking a hundred miles an hour, "A secret signal." The girl gasped, "Oh! Can you imitate a sloth?"
"Nora." the boy in green said, sounding somewhere between exhausted and annoyed.
"Yes Ren?" The girl was already done with her selection. A gargantuan stack of pancakes, twenty- maybe thirty. She was just walking in front of the boy, keeping him company.
"I don't think sloths make a lot of noise." he said shortly as he gathered his modest breakfast. Actually it's almost exactly what Naruto chose. The girl thought about that momentarily.
"That's why it's PERFECT!" she exclaimed, "People won't know we're working together!" they absentmindedly sat on Neo's side of Naruto's table.
Naruto picked now to pipe up, "Uh, Nora? That's all a really good plan, actually. But now Neo and I know it." Naruto looked at the bubbly orange haired girl like a chess player that just beat his opponent's strategy.
Nora looked at the fox faunus across from her and Ren, "Who told you our plan? Was it Mister Pancakes?!" she picked up three of her pancakes on her fork, "How could you tell others our plan?" she sounded playfully hurt, "Now I have to eat you!" she said in a very strange combination of creepy and cheery tones. Nora then stuffed the three pancakes in her mouth and proceeded to crush them to death, killing Mister Pancake.
Naruto just shook his head at the act of the orangette and returned to his food. As he looked at the spread before him he realized, 'Something's missing...' Then it hit him, he retracted his hand into his sleeve and when he pushed it back through, he was holding a coffee mug. Normal white, but with a orange-red fox print on the side and black musical notes scrawled along the top rim. As he got up to fill his mug, some of his other acquaintances took their seats at his table.
Moments later, when Naruto returned, the fox eared faunus reclaimed his seat across from his gloriously beautiful Neo. He took a sip like he normally does, and set his mug down to prepare to eat. But as he took his fork and knife in hand, he again felt something was off. Looking around his spread he saw everything was as he liked it, 'So what could be wro-' his thought was interrupted when he looked up. Everyone was staring at him, shocked expressions on all of them, well what passed for shock as far as Blake and Ren at least. "What?" he said nervously, his tail flitting back and forth.
"It was juh- just like..." Ruby stammered, still over come by shock.
"Professor..." Weiss mumbled.
"Ozpin?!" Nora exclaimed her shocked confusion.
"Eh... Huh?" Naruto hummed. Still confused at their strange behavior.
"You just sipped your drink exactly like Professor Ozpin, Naruto." Weiss said shortly.
"Eh? Guys seriously? What about it?" Naruto challenged. Kinda fretful of the idea that they figure out his relation to the headmaster.
The group thought about it for a moment, noticing the lack of logic behind the surprise, and collectively shook their heads, "Nothing." they all sighed.
"Tch, weirdos." Naruto sighed in return, returning to his as of yet untouched breakfast.
Seemingly out of nowhere Naruto felt a rush of wind and heard a soft giggle behind him. 'Ruby.' he accounted. Ruby looked at the fox beside her, observing his orange-red tail sway softly behind him. The black tip curled slightly upward, denying the floor it's soft touch. Mesmerized, Ruby began to reach out toward it. When her hand was only moments from touching the soft pelt of the fox, the black haired girl let out a yip of surprise and sharply recoiled. Something had slapped her hand. The red hooded girl looked suspiciously at Neo, who smiled gleefully back at her.
Naruto watched the whole thing go down, chuckling softly at Neo's shenanigans. Naruto stabbed his fork through a section of all five pancakes, and began cutting. His mouth watering in preparation to recieve the sweet, sweet cake. Just as he was about to stuff his face hole with the syrup logged pancakes, someone pushed against his back; jostling his gingerly held fork out of his hand, sending the cut pieces of deliciousness spattering onto his tray. Feeling beaten, he let out a defeated sigh.
"Hey foxy, I had an amazing dream last night." a voice purred into his ear. Naruto could feel the hot, damp air on his sensitive fox ear and felt his cheeks heat up.
'Yang...' Naruto thought. Then realized what was pressing into his back, and he had to cover his nose to prevent himself from repainting the table.
"I dreamt I was in a hot tub. You were there too. And we were just about to-" Yang was cut short when she felt herself being pushed away. The blonde looked up to see Neo was sitting on her fox's shoulder, smirking down at her and swinging her legs gently against Naruto's back. Again jostling his fork out of his hand, once again denying him his first bite.
Blake looked over to Naruto as he took a calming sip from his mug. Sitting across from him, the sly cat began to rub his leg with hers. Naruto looked at Blake, blushing; a look Neo didn't miss. Blake continued to rub the fox's leg until she saw a little red dot on the table. It moved quickly from side to side, attracting her attention even more. The black cat swiftly moved her hand over the dot, trying to scratch at it. Only to find that it had moved. Cat instincts took command and the faunus cintinued to chase the little read dot about the table. Then the dot shot down the table and Blake, the cat that she is, threw herself onto the table, scrambling after the dot. This made Naruto again lose his fork, and yet again denied his first bite.
Neo jumped off Naruto's shoulder and walked down the table, following Blake. Still chasing the dot, she was surprised when the dot disappeared. Confused she looked around then back to the table. There she saw Neo posing at the edge of it, her hips of to one side, one leg locked straight and the other bent, one hand on her hips, the other held before her gently waving something dangling from a key chain. 'A fucking laser pointer!' she inwardly hissed.
Blake ducked into a pouncing stance as she faced Neo, like she was going to tackle the little- The bell rang for a moment, then the loud speakers crackled, "Student's this is Professor Goodwitch. All initiates please retrieve your battle gear from the locker rooms. Beacon Initiation begins in one hour, prepare well."
"OH, COME ON!" everyone heard Naruto scream at the other end of the table, his pancakes cut up but none of it eaten.
*time skip*
Naruto, still grumbling about his lack of breakfast, put on his battle jacket, a black duster. Not just any duster. The inside was lined with plasteel plates reinforced by sapphire wire, all galvanized by hardonic essence. It's left sleeve was ripped off and black pseudo-beowulf fur covered the left half of the dusters chest. On the right it had a small dark blood red plasteel scales covered his vital organs and his right arm, with a single trapezoidal plate covering the back of his hand and first finger joint.
Naruto wore a elbow-length black glove, woven from the purest DUST spun into the highest grade sapphire wire. He wore pants woven from the same material as his left glove, only thicker. Both his thighs adorned with hardonic-sapphire wire holsters. Naruto had also clasped on plasteel grieves ,of the same color as his right chest, that covered from just above his angle to mid-knee. The well worn and broken in combat boots that adorned his feet had been layered in what looked like blood red plasteel scales.
The most frightening thing about his battle gear, despite how much pieces it has, it is completely silent. No matter how much he moves or jostles the scales will never clink or chime.
Naruto stands from the bench across and looks past the vast collection of full DUST vials mounted on the inside of the door, into his locker. Mounted on the left side of the large blue-gray locker, was a staff. Not just any staff. This staff had an evil looking black sphere at the base. The opposite end of the staff is adorned with an open mouth fox head with a gradually curved 6" blade with runes. The fox's head is made from a single carved piece of mahogany. The only blemish on the fox head is a crack, from behind left ear, through the left eye and down to the blade. A line of runes stretch down from the tip of the right ear, down the inside of the ear, through the right eye and wave down the right side of the blade. The eyes, crack, and runes have a subtle glow that matches whatever type of dust he's using, now at rest the glow was a faint, almost imperceptible white. 'Shadow Fox...'
Mounted on the back of the locker was a twin set of single edged broad swords. Runes also ran down the flat of both blades. The hilt of one was black, 'Ebony.' Naruto thought fondly. The others hilt a pure white, 'Ivory.' Naruto smiled at his weapons. The runes on Ivory's blade were a void of darkness, as if it allowed nothing to escape. The runes on Ebony shone with a faint white glow. The brilliant steel of the blades shone with an unnatural red brightness. If one were to look very closely at the guard of each blade, they'd see a very well hidden trigger on the inside of the grip. The dull edge of the blade stopped about three inches short of the actual tip of the blade, suddenly jutting inward about an inch then continuing up. Not the best disguise for the barrel of a gun, then again, Naruto didn't have that in mind when he designed the gun-blades.
Naruto gripped the hilt of each blade, holding the unusually light blades as if they were part of his body. He gripped each blade tighter, then slammed the dull edges together. Perfectly lined up, the two blades became a single great sword. The blade became as black as the void of Ivory's runes. The tip of the sword had a two inch indentation, the twin barrels of Ebony and Ivory. "Maybe I'll just take my Twilight Sepultra?" he wondered aloud.
As always, Neo sat on her fox's shoulder. Her pink parasol lazily resting on her own shoulder. The tri-colored girl looked at her fox's weapons, amazed at the variety of fighting styles Naruto can use. She adored the violent look of the staff, she knew was called Shadow Fox. However Neo loved the simple brutality behind Ebony, Ivory, and Twilight Sepultra.
"Neo," Naruto paused to look at his lover, "Which weapon should I use?"
Neo's eyes, both brown now, met his garnet eyes with an almost evil gleam. Her smirk growing into a devious smile.
"Yeah. I'll just take all of them." Naruto released his grip on Twilight Sepultra and pulled the claymore sized sword apart, returning it back to the blades Ebony and Ivory. He reached into the bottom of the locker, grabbing the sheaths of both blades. He strapped the simple leather blade holders into the hardonic-sapphire wire holsters at his sides. Then Naruto proceeded to fill empty slots on his belts, holsters, and sheathes with small vials of DUST. For the final touch, Naruto swung Shadow Fox over his shoulder and into the clasps on the back of his duster. The reactive clasps closed around the shaft of his mighty staff, locking it into place.
Naruto, with his gear in place, closed his now empty locker and meandered toward the exit of the locker room. On his path to the exit, the fox over heard Ruby talking with her sister.
"My dearest sister Yang, are you implying you do not wish to be on the same team as me?" Ruby accused.
"What? No, of course I do. I just thought, I don't know, maybe it would help you break outta your shell!" Yang said optimistically.
"What?! I don't need to break out of my shell! That's absoloutly-"
"Ridiculous! There's no way I put my gear in Locker 636 yesterday! I would've remembered having to count that high! Awwww, why does this hafta happen today!?" Jaune interrupted Ruby, complaining to himself. His sole focus was on his scroll, looking up only every now and then to look at the locker numbers. What he saw when he looked this time however made him even more melancholy. Jaune saw his goal walking away from him. Jaune saw Naruto, Neo on the perch she's made of his shoulder, walk out the locker room door. Naruto, to Jaune, is everything he wants to be. Naruto got all the girls and is so... Cool. Jaune let out a depressed sigh. However it didn't last long as he heard the voice of his angel. He looked around and found Weiss talking to some red head in, what looked like, old Greek armor.
"I was thinking, maybe we could be on a team together?" Weiss offered.
"Well, that sounds grand." The red head said. She sounded almost like she wasn't as excited as she could be.
"Great!" Jaune watched as a devious, plotting grin spread on his angels face as she turned away from the red head.
Like greased lightning he appeared next to his other goal, "You know what else his great? Me. Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you." Jaune gave his most charming grin.
"You again?" Weiss just glared at him in disgust.
"Nice to meet you, Jaune." the red head tried to interject.
"Yeah, yeah." Jaune literally pushed her aside and continued his advance on Weiss, "So, Weiss, couldn't help overhearing your fondness in me yesterday." Jaune flexed his arm, looking between it and Weiss.
"Oh, you've GOT to be kidding me!" Weiss facepalmed.
Jaune was a little hurt, but he didn't let it show as he he feined confidence and continue his advance, "No need to be embarrassed." Jaune waved his hands in front of him, as if to ward something off. "So, been hearing rumors about te~ams," Jaune said in a sing-song voice, rocking on his feet. "I was thinking you and me would make a good one. What d'ya say?"
Again, the red head attempted to get a word in edge wise, "Actually, I thing teams are comprised of four students each. So-"
"You don't say." Jaune deadpaned, glancing at an annoyed Weiss. "Well, hot stuff, play your cards right and maybe you could end up with the Winning team." Jaune stepped up to the girl.
Quickly, as if trying to ward off a confrontation, stepped between them, a hand on both their chests, "Jaune, is it? Do you have any idea who it is you're talking to?" she turned to face the offending blond, gesturing to the red head behind her.
"Not the slightest Snow Angel." Jaune leaned in toward Weiss.
"This," Weiss again gestured to the red head, "is Pyrrha."
"Hello again!" Pyrrha waved.
"Pyrrha graduated top of her class at Sanctum." Weiss leered at Jaune.
Jaune simply shrugged, "Never heard of it." he said looking bored.
"Ugh, she's won the Mystral Regional Tournament four years in a row. A new record." She scoffed at Jaune.
"The what?" Jaune tilted his head.
"She's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box!" Weiss said as she waved her arms, then crossed them angrily. Glancing at Pyrrha, then looked at the gasping Jaune.
"That's YOU!" Jaune said excitedly pointing at Pyrrha like a fanboy. "They only do that for star athlete's and cartoon character!"
"Yeah. It was pretty cool." Pyrrha looked away shyly, "Sadly the cereal wasn't very good for you."
"So, after hearing all this, do you think you're really in a position to ask HER to be on your team?" Weiss asked, with an air of superiority.
"I- I guess not." Jaune said, hanging his head in defeat, "Sorry."
"Actually, Jaune. I think you'd make a great leader." Pyrrha encouraged Jaune, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Daww, stop it." Jaune looked at Pyrrha like an excited puppy.
"Seriously, please stop it. This kind of behavior should not be encouraged." Weiss admonished.
"Looks like Pyrrha's on board of team Jaune. Spots are filling up quick!" Jaune got in close to Weiss, and said in a more hushed tone, "Now I'm not supposed to do this, but maybe I can pull some strings. Find a place for ya. What d'ya say?" Jaune leaned a little closer as he listed suggestions.
"A-Alright, that's a bit too close," Weiss backed of, putting her hands between them. "Pyrrha, a little help, please!" Weiss squeeked.
Jaune heard something twirl behind him, making him turn. And as he turned his confident face quickly turned to fear as Pyrrha tossed her spear through his hood. The cloth caught the spear and the force of the throw dragging Jaune along with the spear. "Gyah!" Jaune screamed as he hurdled toward a wall. The thud of impact and the shivering of metal could be heard through out the vast locker rooms of Beacon.
"I'm sorry!" Pyrrha waved at the blonde she just nailed to the wall.
"Would all first year students please report to Beacon Cliff for annitiation. Again, all first year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately." The speakers crackled.
Weiss and Pyrrha walked past Jaune. Pyrrha retrieved her spear, "It was nice meeting you!" she cheered.
"Likewise." Jaune sighed as he slid down the wall to his rear and waited for the-
*one time skip later*
At last the group of first years had gathered Beacon Cliff, each stood atop a stone slab with the school's emblem on it. "For years, you have trained to become warriors; and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forrest."
"Now," Ms. Goodwitch began, "I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put and end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammate. Today."
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your 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 spoke uninterrupted. Not even by his own body language, and he only moved to gesture toward the students as he concluded.
"What?!" Ruby shouted, interrupting him.
However Ozpin ignored Ruby and the murmuring of the other students and continued, "After you've partnered up," the students silenced themselves to hear him speak, "make your way to the northern end of the forest. You WILL meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path," He paused dramatically, "or you will die. You'll be monitored and graded for the duration of anitiation, 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 top of the cliff. You will guard that item, as well as your standing, and we'll grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?"
Jaune was the first to speak, "Yeah, uh, sir-"
Again Ozpin ignored his anitiates, "Good! Now, take your position."
One by one the students took a battle stance, except for Jaune, "Uh, Sir? I got a- a question." Jaune paused as the first student, Weiss was launched off the cliff. "So, this landing strategy thing... Uh- Wha- What is it? You're like, dro- dropping us off, or something?" He asked hopefully, stammering as even more students are simply hurdled into the sky.
"No. You will be falling." (God! I LOVE that line!) He paused to see a student grin cockily as he was launched.
"Oh... I... See- So, like, did you hand our parachutes for us?"
A girl shouted Woo-hoo as she was launched.
"No. You will be using your own landing strategy." Ozpin said simply.
"Ah-huh... Yeah." realization sinking in as more and more students were catapulted over the cliff. "So what exactly is a landing strateg- EEEEEHE HEAAA AHAHAAAA!" As he joined the other students in the air over the Emerald Forest Ozpin turned to watch them fall. A content look on his face as he sipped his mug.
"You really are sadistic, you know that?" The final student, Naruto asked.
Again the student was ignored, "Neo, you need to get off Naruto." Glynda said as she glared at the small young woman. Neo just smirked as Naruto took a sip of his coffee. "And Naruto, put that mug away."
Naruto just looked at her, "Nah, it's good. I think I'll keep it." he said as he took another sip. Glynda almost snapped, she had to stop herself. She looked at her boss, who mirrored the sip that Naruto just took.
Ozpin noticed, "What? It runs in the family. At least he doesn't have his mothers ramen addiction." the Goodwitch just rubbed the bridge of her nose as she shook her head.
"That's true. Just... At least tell me how you guys can drink that anywhere, and not spill a single drop." She simply said.
Both Naruto and Ozpin said, in unison, "It's a family secret." and with that Naruto was launched.
As soon as Naruto was catapulted, Ozpin spoke, "I bet you he won't spill a single drop."
Glynda looked at Ozpin, shocked that he would even consider- "I'll take that bet."
Ozpin smiled as he took another sip. He knew he was gonna win, it's in their genes not to spill coffee while it's in your favorite mug.
Naruto grinned like a mad man. He was flying. And everything was exhillarating. The feeling of the wind rip at his hair and clothes. The rush of the ground surging toward you. The- "Birdie! NO!" Naruto turned his head and saw a puff of feathers and rose petals and Ruby flying in front of the chaos. 'That poor bird.' He lamented for the feathered creature.
"Yahoo!" Yang blasted her way through the air, firing her Ember Celica behind her, fueling her momentum. Her hair, unaffected by the shotgun blasts, wiped about behind her. If one had a ground eye view of her, she'd look like a yellow dragon as she passed in front of the Sun.
Naruto then heard what sounded like shattering wood. He turned to see Pyrrha explode out from a tree, splinters and leaves trailing behind her. She rolled out of the fall and immediately had her rifle at the ready. The tops of three trees began to fall as she flipped her weapon over her shoulder, amazed as the gun transformed into a spear and she threw it.
Naruto looked down his body and saw Neo had her harms and legs wrapped around him, with a big smile on her face. "To day is gonna be great," Naruto said, holding his mug. Somehow the liquid inside hadn't moved from being perfectly level. "It can only get be- son of a whore!" Naruto shouted as a giant Nevermore flew over them.
"Fan-fucking-tastic! What's next? An annoying robot that everyone hates?!" Naruto felt Neo tapping his shoulder, he turned his head to see something flying toward him. It's beak wide open. "SON OF PROTESTANT WHORE!"
Ozpin looked at his black scroll which displayed a live feed of the students, "Hmm..." he mumbled as he took a sip from his mug.
Glynda smiled because she knew she's got the bet in the bag. She too watched the scroll.
* with Naruto *
Naruto looked at the giant Grimm that was hurdling toward him. He reached over his shoulder and drew his staff. Shadow Fox came to life as it began to surge red as Burn DUST was channeled through it. Naruto thrust the grand staff at the Grimm and a giant fist of fire materialized, hurdling at the Nevermore. The impact disrupted it's tragectory, making it miss Naruto and Neo. Keeping his mug's contense still perfectly level, he managed to flip over and land on the back of the dazed creature of Grimm.
In less than an instant Naruto began to run down the back of the Nevermore, twirling the burning red Shadow Fox about him as he ran, gesturing the bladed fox head at the wings every now and then. As he jumped off the tail feathers, Naruto slashed down cutting off some of the creature's tail feathers. He turned in midair, and thrust the head of Shadow Fox at the Nevermore and a pair of fire fist's erupted from the air above the creature's wings, punching the beast toward the ground.
As the charred and smoking demon hurdled toward Remnant, it twisted around. It roared in pain and hate as it flung it's dense, razor sharp feathers at the animal that dared harm it.
Naruto twirled his icy blue Shadow Fox as he brought it before him. He slammed it toward his feet as if stabbing the ground with both hands and a thick sphere of crystaline ice formed around Naruto and his Neo.
Both the ball of ice and the Giant Nevermore plummetied toward Remnant at the same rate. The feathers managing to drive almost all the way through the ice protecting Neo and him. All the while Neo was smirking in confidence of Naruto's impending victory.
As the Nevermore landed, Naruto's ball of ice crushed it into the ground shattering the sphere and stabbing the Nevermores feathers into itself. Naruto broke a hole out of the back of the sphere and jumped out before the sphere collapsed on itself. Naruto landed in a lightly rotating skid on his feet. He held his mug in his hand, roatiting his wrist to keep his coffee level in the cup. He slowly brought his arm before him as he slowed his wrists rotation. He put Shadow Fox back in the clasps on his back, and grabbed the handle of the mug. He smiled in his victory as he sipped his coffee and scalded his tongue, "Gah, 'ow da 'ell 'zis s'ill ha'h?!"
Naruto breathed in and out quickly to cool the burn on his tongue. "Ow, too hot!" he exclaimed while his tongue hung out. Neo let go of Naruto and stood before him. She leaned up and gave him a kiss on the lips. Her cool tongue battles his scalded tongue for dominance, Neo believing she has an advantage over Naruto's scald.
They stood like that for a while. When Neo finally broke the kiss, a single bridge of saliva connected them. "Thanks Neo. My tongue fells much better." She smiled at him and laced her fingers behind her back, pushing her chest out. As Naruto was going to steal another kiss, the Nevermore made its presence known. The creature lunged toward them, making to devour them. Instantly, Naruto had drawn his staff and aimed the bloody red glowing scepter end at the creature. A blood red demon hand gripped either of the Nevermore's jaws. Naruto glared at the one visible eye of the Nevermore as he sharply pulled the scepter down to his side, and twirled it back into the clasps. A crystal ice shield formed above them as the Nevermore was torn in half by the hands, each half tossed in either direction. The black blood of the Grimm vaporizing upon contact with air.
Naruto looked back to Neo, who had a devilishly approving smirk on her face. "What? Don't look at me in that tone of voice, it was gonna eat us!" Neo just kept smirking. "Fine! Fine, you win." He could never win with her. Neo leaped onto his shoulder and started to pet his fox ears. She made sure to keep Shadow Fox within reach. "N-Neo, is there a reason you've gone without underwear?" She ignored him as she continued to pet his ears.
* with Ruby *
Ruby is running as fast as her semblance would carry her, 'Gotta find Yang. Gotta find Yang! Gotta find-' "Yang! Yang!" she called as she ran. 'Ugh, this is bad. This is really bad! What if I can't find her? What if somebody finds her first?! There's always Jaune. He's nice. He's funny! I don't think he's very good in fight though... Oh! What about Blake? So mysterious, so calm... Plus she like books! Well, then again, I don't think I cold hold a conversation with her... And Naruto... I mean, he's strong, sexy, and has an amazing set of-'
"RUBY ROSE! How could you think of such things!?" Her thoughts were interrupted when a little voice in her head yelled at her. In her mind she saw a shirtless Naruto flexing for a chibi version herself in a white robe with angel wings and a halo. "How could you think of something so sexy? You forgot his dreamy smile. And those soft red eyes that can make any girl fall for him..." (God, Vincent, stop! The sappiness is drowning me! ~ Getsuga)
Now she imgined herself in Naruto's strong arms. Ruby sporting the damnedest red blush on her face. She imagined his sweet lips when she shook her head., 'Well okay... Who else do I know in this school? Uh, Yang, Jaune, Blake, Naruto, annnnnd...' Ruby was caught off guard as she had to skid to a halt at the sudden sight of someone else. Ruby shyly looked up and locked eyes with, 'Weiss?!' Who just turns and walks away like, 'Nope.' "Wait! Where're you going?" the red hooded girl called after Weiss. "We're supposed to be teammates." she sighed in defeat.
*with Naruto and Neo*
As the two teens walked into a clearing, they descended a hill into some ruins. Naruto and Neo neared the ruins, they noticed a series of chess pieces on pedistals. As Naruto walked around the pieces, he stopped before and picked up the Black Queen. He pulled out his scroll, swiped a few times and held it to his ear. When the other end answered, he said, "The board has been set."
"The Queen shall make her move." Naruto heard the seductively smooth voice of a woman say. Naruto put his scroll away as Neo walked up. He nodded to her as her took yet another sip of his coffee, yet to spill even a drop. Neo picked up the Black Queen and climbed to her perch. Naruto walked to the back of the roofless ruins and leaned against the wall behind a pillar near the rear exit.
Together they looked up at the sky. They watched as Cardin and his partners ran over the hill, toward the ruins. Taking a wild grab as they passed some relics, Sky and Russle grabbed both the Black Bishops. Cardin noticed Neo sitting with Naruto. He slowed to a stop, turning to look at them directly.
"Say, what's a pretty girl like you doing with an anime? Why not hang out with a real man." the armored douche tried to reach for Neo. Cardin didn't even see movement before he was pushed into the wall. Naruto stood with Shadow Fox's scepter orb pushed into Cardin's chest, right above his armor. Cardin glanced over at Neo sitting on a fallen pillar, watching the fight.
Behind Naruto, Cardins' team pulled out their weapons and brandished them at the fox. "What's a hunk of wood gonna do to me? Tch, I bet you can't even fight, Rock Star." The brown haired ass clown mocked.
Sky, Russle, and Dove all rushed Naruto with their weapons aimed to end him. Naruto ripped Shadow Fox up ward, hitting Cardin's jaw, whipping his head into the wall, dazing him. Naruto's staff continued it's wicked arc and slammed directly onto Sky's head, the hard crystal scepter knocked Sky out cold.
As Sky fell unconsious, Dove and Russle came to slash at Naruto. Naruto parried them both by twirling his scepter, directing Russle up and Dove down. They lost balance and slid to either side behind Naruto, next to Cardin. Carden got to his feet and swung his wicked looking mace at Naruto. Naruto jumped back, away from the black mace and it's sinister red orb.
Cardin smiled. He flipped, flinging one leg over him and using the centrifugal force and his own muscles to rotate faster. His next blow was too fast for Naruto dodge so he blocked it with Shadow Fox. When the mace struck his staff, Naruto's hand instantly went numb and he lost his grip. 'Gravity DUST..!' Shadow Fox was flung to the other side of the ruins.
Naruto glared up at Cardin. Dove and Russle on either side of him. Cardin nodded his head toward Naruto and again they rushed him. Russle actually went high, and Dove slashed low. Naruto aerobattically jumped over Russles sword and drew his own, Ebony. He slashed the outside of Russles forearm, forcing him to drop his blade.
The gun-sword fell and nearly cut Dove, if not for his gauntlets it would've. Dove looked toward Russle, who was hunched over grabbing his bleeding arm. Naruto hit him in the forhead with his palm and Russle was launched into a pillar, unconsious.
Then Naruto looked at Dove, and thrust his staff at the brown armored boy. The ground erupted in crystals of ice as the effect raced toward Dove. The squinty-eyed boy was frozen in fear as he was trapped in the crystals of the DUST spell.
"H-how did this happen?!" Cardin said as he watched his team get wrecked right in front of him.
Naruto laughed as he looked over his shoulder, "You want to know how I did this?" Naruto turned, and held his hands out wide gesturing to Cardin's beaten team. "I am what you can call a Battlemage. DUST is my plaything."
"But I thought your semblance was linking people to you..." Cardin raised his mace to block a slash from Ebony. Cardin didn't expect the weight behind the sword. He barely managed to deflect the attack away from him.
Naruto's face snapped into a grin, "Not even close. My semblance is to control DUST as I please. Absolute mastery of DUST. Linking people to me? You mean like controlling them? Don't you remember the old story? 'Man, born from DUST' all people are is living DUST. Though it's a sentient being, I can only somewhat control people. You've seen it. Now allow me to show you my DUST Mastery." Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out a small smooth pebble. "DUST." Naruto explained, "Mined and purified in a Schnee quarry." And he proceeded to eat the crystalized form of natures wrath.
Naruto closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. Then Naruto exhailed and opened his garnet eyes. Cardin couldn't help but notice that they were glowing. 'No, not just his eyes. His aura... It's visible!' Cardin was frozen in shock. Only those with a masive amount of aura and mastered how to manipulate it. Cardin took a shaky step backwards. Naruto drew Ivory from his waist and slammed the blunt of the blades together. All his aura was absorrbed by the two blades as they combined into a single large blood red claymore. Naruto single-handedly hefted the double sided blade and rested it on his shoulder. Runes flowed down either side of the blade, some a void of darkness, others pools of light.
Cardin began to visibly shake as he watched Naruto hold the blade above his head. 'No! I will not be intimidated by an animal!' He gripped his black mace and charged Naruto. Cardin lifted his mace above his head, bearing down on Naruto. As he neared Naruto, he flung the mace, trying to cave in Naruto's chest.
Naruto simply let Twilight Sepultra fall, A trail of fire flickered behind the large blade. The sword caught one of the many grooves on Cardin's mace and draged it to the ground, causing a fiery explosion to erupt from the blade. Cardin lost his balance as he fell to the stone ground, skidding to a stop just before the blade of Naruto's claymore, missed by the fires above him.
When Naruto ripped Twilight Sepultra away from the dark mace, Cardin looked up, and saw the resolve to kill in Naruto's eyes. Cardin, at a loss, grabbed his weapon and turned tail, fearing for his life.
Naruto smiled as he watched Cardin. But his smile turned bitter when he remembered Cardin abandoned his team. Naruto began to cough. Violently. Twilight Swpultra devided again as Naruto lost concentration. He dropped Ebony and Ivory as he dropped to his knees and covered his mouth. When the coughing subsided, he looked at his bloody hands. "Every fucking time I do that," he ran his tongue around his mouth, and spat out a glob of blood, "I cough up blood."
Neo walked up to Naruto, "I love you Naruto." as she pulled him into a hug.
Naruto embraced her, "I love you too, my little ice cream." (Ehhhh, I get it. Ice cream sounds like Ice Queen! ~ Getsuga)
