Chapter 3: Initiation Fin

Connor noticed three things when he woke up, 1. He was bleeding from a large cut on his chest, 2. His weapon, "Death Bringer", was to his side in its submachine gun form, and 3. He was all alone. He was barley able to get up, as he grabbed Death Bringer, which was a curved blaed that attatched to a thin,metal gauntlet that goes over Connors arm, and could turn into a machine gun. He survayed his surroundings, he was in a clearing, there were multiple dead Beowolves and Ursai around. He staggered to his feet, and ran a hand through his hair, which was black with a very bright streak of red on the right side of it. He attempted to remember what happened...

2 Hours ago...

"Look, all I'm saying is that black makes a better trenchcoat color then teal!" Connor yelled at his teal clad friend.

"Your an idiot, you don't even have a trenchcoat!" Nicholas replied with a playful tone.

They had been argueing about this for the past 20 minutes, Olivia and Sophie were annoyed by now, because Connor pointed out that teal was a strange color. Somehow, they had gotten onto Nicks trenchcoat.

Sophie spotted something and almost laughed with glee, "Guys! Look, the temple! Finally!" At this, her friends looked on with happy faces, as they spotted the structure housing the...chess..pieces?

"Chess pieces. Cool." Nick said as he ran to the temple. "Guys! Theres like, 8 pieces left...so ..like, 2 more teams can be formed!" He yelled at his approaching friends. The 2 sets of partners collected there pieces.

"Let's get back to that cliff!" Olivia yelled out. The party set back out into the woods, the old friends returning to there arguement. As they set out, they heard a very wolf like howl, as tons of Beowolves appeared on the edge of the woods, with a few Ursai.

"Oh you have got to be...welp. Come on guys, LETS KICK SOME BUTT!" Nicholas yelled as he drew his 2 weapons. Connor drew his aswell, and Sophies sword turned into a single-barrel shotgun. Olivia got out her weapon, which was a magenta whip, with spikes all over it.

"Ok boys and girls, lets have a party." Was the final thing said, by who Connor couldn't remember, as the Beowolves charged and the students held there ground. Connor turned Death Bringer into its Sub-gun form as he called it, and started opening fire along side Nicholas. As Beowolves fell Sophia ran up to an Ursai and put 2 holes into its chest, and Olivia started whipping Beowolves, because the spikes had fire dust, so the Beowolves caught fire. Connor remembered as the beowolves drew near he backed up and continued to fire, as Nick turned the pistols into daggers and slashed.

"Theres so many!" Sophie yelled as she slashed down Beowolves with her shotgun, which was now in its sword mode. Connor rememberd looking up and seeing an Aplha Beowolf charging, with more Beowolves,

"We gotta retreat! NOW!" Nick yelled as the group ran, Connor couldn't remember much after that, except getting lost following his frineds, and ending up in a clearing with some Beowolves and a few Ursai. He remembers he took the slash on his chest early on, but contineud fighting, and after the final grimms demise, he blacked out.

Present...

"So...thats what happened..." He winced slightly as he stood, and started walking to the cliff...hoping his friends are alive...

With Nick,Sophie and Olivia...

"What do you mean theres no sign of him?! WHERES MY FRIEND?" Nick screeched at the Headmaster, they had made it to the cliff, but lsot Connor at some point.

" , please calm down, we're looking for , but we're afraid hes gone." The headmaster replied calmly, it had been years since a student had died during initiation.

"Calm down?! CALM DOWN?! My best friend is somewhere in those wounds, fightng off GRIMM AND YOU'RE TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN?!" Nicholas yelled, tears starting to sting his eyes. He and Connor had always been partners, always, and now, his friend might be dead...or all alone in the wounds...

With Connor...

He had almsot reached the cliif, he had a few more cuts from some Beowolves he met along the way, but he was almost there. Connor was bound and determined to not die, in some stupid forest, all alone. If he was going to die, he wanted to do it with his team, or with his best friend at his back. Then he saw them, on the cliff top, Ozpin,Nicholas,Sophie, and Olivia, he had made it! Wait...why is Nick yelling at him?

"Connor...hind...yo..." Was all he could make out...wait. Behind him? He turned around as the beowolf leapt...

On the Cliff...

"Look!" Nicholas heard Olivia yell, as she pointed down below. There, bloody,beaten and covered in mud and leaves, was Connor. His friend had made it, he made it! Thank go-...Wait...is that...Nicks eyes widen.

"CONNOR! BEHIND YOU!" He yelled, as he watched his friend stop and turn, as the Beowolf leapt at him...

Down Below...

The beowolf leapt at him, and suddenly he was on the ground, struggling as the beasts mouth inched closer and closer to his neck. This was it, game over man. Game over. This is how he dies...

"NO!" Connor heard the yell, it was Nick. Suddenly the Beowolf cried in pain as a whip coiled around its head and it backed off, and away from him. Then 2 rounds blew through the Wolves legs and knees, Sophies shotgun. Then a roudn tore through its skull as blood and bone scattered, Nick. Perfect. He gets to live, he gets to live! He sits up to find his friends around him, they had slid down the hill. He looked up and found Ozpin looking on with a hint of a smile, oh well. Onto the teaming ceremony.

At The Teaming Ceremony

"Nicholas Grussl, Connor Kingery, Sophie Jen, and Olivia Fenton. The 4 of you retrieved the White Pawn pieces, and from now on, you shall be known as Team NOCS." Ozpin said, Nicholas ruffled Connors hair.

"Led by, Nicholas Grossl."Ozpin finished as the 4 students stood proud and tall. THey had made it, Beacon, they had finally made it. Now, with there teal wearing leader, they were going to learn, learn to fight. Learn to survive.
