AN: So me and my sister were having a conversation and pointed out things I missed correcting on so that will be done later. Also suggested to add a Pineapple skull being fanned and worshiped. Also this is the last time you see this explanation (Yay!): Bold is Flashback material, Underline is Disclaimer, Italic is thoughts, Bold and Underline is my notes, Bold and Italic is Combat Moves and such, and Italic and Underline are other references. Also have some alternate pairings that will show up in the story, with some involving the OC's. That is all for now, so on to the chapter!
Yang is walking through the forest, calling out to find someone to partner up with. "Is anyone out there? Hello~?" she asks and stops raising her arms up in annoyance, saying "I'm getting bored here!" then suddenly hears some rustling from some nearby bushes. "Is someone there?" Yang asks then looks over the bush to see the source of the rustling while asking "Ruby is that you?".
A low inhuman growl is heard as Yang raises her head to look at the creature before her, eventually saying "Nope!" with a loud pop at the end, and dodges quickly by rolling to the side as a Ursa lunges at her. As she activates Ember Celica assuming a fighting stance she dodges another Ursa leaping over it. Another Ursa, bigger then the other two, charges at Yang but is punched back next to it's the smaller kin. The one that appeared first then attacks but is beaten by Yang before being kicked back to where it started.
"You guys wouldn't have happened to have seen either a girl with a red or purple hood, tall girl with a hammer, or a big guy that growls constantly, would you?" Yang asks the three Ursai in front of her, with the two smaller ones only growling in response to her query but the Alpha backs away into the foliage at the mention of Glyff's description and barely escaping the monstrous creature. "You could just say 'no'." Yang politely says as she dodges several attacks from a younger Ursa.
Yang begins to laugh as she begins to insult the two Ursai "Geez, you guys couldn't even hit the broad side of a ba-" but stops as she observes a single golden strand of hair falling in front of her face to the ground. As it hits the ground, she inhales while closing her eyes, saying "You-" causing both Grimm to look at each other in confusion before she opens them again glaring at the two Grimm with blood red eyes and yelling angrily "You monsters!" and a burst of flame surrounding her.
She then rockets forward landing a chain of punches and blows on one of the Ursai, finally sending it through several trees before the other catches up. As a tree falls behind Yang, she glares at the Ursa stopping before her, shouting "What! You want some too!?". The beast rises to attack but stops as a whirling noise is heard and makes instead a befuddled noise, falling forward dead.
Blake is then seen with her weapon embedded into the beasts back and, giving it a tug on the ribbon, retrieves it. She smirks to Yang, who say jokingly "I could've taken him." before hearing several loud growls belonging to three Ursai, one of which is the Alpha that Yang saw earlier. "Well, this complicates things." Yang jokes before hearing a loud 'poompf' sound and seeing a rock fly into the Alpha's mouth as it is about to signal the charge.
Yang is tackled to the ground by Blake, and soon after the Alpha explodes, instantly killing the Grimm. The other two Ursai look confused and angered before one is shot dead by a hail of gunfire. The girls and remaining Ursa turn to see a armored being with a scary looking gas mask walking out of the underbrush, a large rifle in it's hands. The Ursa charges the newcomer, only to be impaled on a large blade that extends from the rifle into the Grimm, killing it instantly.
"Making a entrance I see, Pandora?" Blake asks the armored figure as if she knows them. "Merely cleaning up." the figure responded in a muffled robotic voice, then suggests "Guess I'll tag along with you two till I get my partner and a artefact." with the three girls now continuing on their way.
(Meanwhile in another part of the Emerald Forest)
Weiss deflects a swipe from a Beowulf, being pushed back to the middle of the beastly circle, and begins to recite her duelling motions in her head. "Remember your training, Weiss. Head up, shoulders back, right foot forward." but pulls her foot a bit back, correcting herself "Not that forward! Slow your breathing, wait for the right time to strike, and..." then spins her dust revolver on her weapon while bringing it up to strike.
"Now!" dashing forward to stab the lead Beowolf in front of her with her loaded weapon. However, Ruby suddenly appeared in a blur of rose petals, swinging Crescent Rose down, landing a hit on the Beowolf. Weiss panics and tries to stop herself, sending her attack to a tree, beginning a forest fire. Ruby is distracted by Weiss mishap and barely defends herself from the same Beowolf that she attacked, being knocked into Weiss.
"Hey, watch it!" Ruby says in annoyance, with the Heiress simply scolding her "Excuse me! You attacked out of turn! I could have killed you!" to which Ruby rolls her eyes, muttering under her breath "You'll have to try better then that." while they prepare to attack the Beowolves again. As Ruby reloads her scythe, a flaming tree falls nearby, prompting Weiss to grab Ruby's arm, stating "We have to go!" with the Beowolf pack panicking from the forest fire.
When Ruby and Weiss were a good distance away from the fire, Ruby asks angrily "What was that?! That should've been easy!" with Weiss explaining in annoyance "Well perhaps if you had exercised the slightest bit of caution with the placement of your strikes, I wouldn't have set the forest on fire!" at which Ruby scoffs and asks "What's that supposed to mean?".
Weiss then makes exaggerated gestures while explaining in agitation "I'm just surprised someone who talks so much, would communicate so little during a encounter." with Ruby feeling insulted, retorts in anger "Well I'm sorry if you need my help to win a fight. I'm just fine on my own!" at which Weiss then mockingly says "Well, congratulations on being the strongest child to sneak your way into Beacon. Bravo!" and raises her arms in the air while walking away.
Ruby then lets out a angry shriek while unfolding her weapon and cutting a tree she passes by as she follows Weiss. Neither notice the rather large black feather that falls landing behind them.
(Meanwhile with Amy, Glyff, Runea, Ethan, Rugby, and Yin)
The group of initiates had come across several Grimm but were easily dealt with due to the addition of Glyff, though Yin was a bit wary of him, as he sensed that even though Glyff had a aura, he had what seemed to be two souls. However, that is impossible, since the only races to have those anomalies were members of either the Goddess or Demon Clans but Glyff felt more Fairy, Giant, and Human though a slight amount of something dark resided in him as well.
Eventually he asked Runea "What is Glyff exactly? Is he a person trying to seek atonement for his darkness or something?" to which Runea looks at him surprised, explaining what she knew of Glyff "I am surprised you sensed his Darkness, though in reality he explained it to me, Ruby, Amy, and Yang as his inheritance from his father. I don't know who his dad is but when me, Ruby, Amy, and Yang asked our dads, they simply went silent and refused to speak of him. Heck, Ruby and Amy asked Diane, Harlequin, and Meliodas who Glyff's dad was and they only got 'The Grimlock' from Meliodas, as the other two refused to speak of him. So I think his dad might be a really dangerous criminal, though me and Yang have never read of any that could be his dad."
"Wait, your related to the Seven Deadly Sins?!" Rugby asked in surprise, to which Runea nodded and pointed to each person, except to those not present "Amy and Ruby are Meliodas Grand Daughters, Me and Glyff are Harlequin and Diane's Grand Children, and Jaune is Ban's Grand Son. Escanor and Merlin are Yang's grandparents, and Gowther is rumored to have adopted a daughter but we have never met her." and smiles a bit. "What about his attire?" Ethan asked seriously, to which Runea shrugged and answered "The cloak is something he fancied and his armor was made by both Ruby and Amy. The mask is actually related to his parents, which apparently belonged to his dad and his mom gave it to him. Taking that from him is a really bad idea unless your Ruby or Amy." and shudders from the memory of Yang and her pulling a prank on Glyff by hiding his mask.
(In a part of the Forest with Jaune and Pyrrha)
A loud explosion is heard, which Jaune turns his head to asking "Did you hear that?" with Pyrrha clarifying it for Jaune "Gunfire. It seems some of our comrades have engaged the enemy." before continuing on with Jaune looking the direction the sounds were heard as Pyrrha pushes a branch out of the way, before releasing the branch which hits him in the face, flooring him instantly.
"Jaune! I'm sorry!" Pyrrha apologizes as she turns around to help Jaune up. Jaune laughs nervously as he gets back up, reassuring her it's okay, even though he has a large gash on his cheek. "Why didn't you activate your Aura?" she asks curiously, which Jaune asks in turn, having not heard correctly "Huh?" to which Pyrrha asks again "Your Aura." with Jaune then explaining "Don't have one. Do I need one?".
"Aura is the manifestation of ones soul. Hunter's use it for armor and their powers, while Holy Knights use it exclusively for their powers. Everyone has it, even animals." Pyrrha explains, with Jaune then asking "Okay, what about monsters?" to which Pyrrha explains "No. The monsters we fight lack a soul and are the creatures of Grimm, the manifestation of anonymity. They are the darkness, and we are the light."
"Right that's why we fight them!" Jaune states, with Pyrrha correcting him, saying "It's not about why; it's about knowing. Understanding Dark and Light helps manifest our powers. Everyone has some of both. By baring your soul outward as a force, you can deflect harm. All our tools and equipment are conduits for our souls. You protect yourself and your soul while fighting." to which then Jaune shouts out as if realizing something "It's like a force field!".
Pyrrha grins and agrees though a bit confused, saying "Yes, if you want to look at it that way." then walks over to Jaune, grabbing the side of his head, kindly ordering him "Now close your eyes and concentrate." to which he complies. Pyrrha then places her hand on his chest, temporarily glowing as she recites a chant in her mind "For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all, infinite in distance and unbound by death. I release your soul and by my shoulder protect thee." and slumps a bit.
Jaune then askes in concern "Pyrrha?" though is reassured by her, as she explains "It's all right, I used my Aura to unlock yours, but the energy that protects you now is your own." and smiles as his scratch instantly fades. "You have a lot of it." she states as Jaune looks over himself amazed.
(Meanwhile in a random part of the forest with a dead King Taijitu)
Ren is dusting himself off after his fight, hearing "Keerraaaw! Keerraaaw!" before seeing Nora hang upside down in front of him, making both partners now. "I still don't think that is what a Sloth sound like." he explains as he chuckles. Nora then pokes his nose, saying "Boop!" to which Ren still grins at his silly friend. At that moment, Obsydia appears, finally killing another King Taijitu, with both groups noticing each other. "Oh, Hello! Can I tag along with you two?" Obsydia asks with a smile to which both nod, and continue on their way.
(On the Cliffs overlooking the forest)
Glynda approaches Ozpin and states "Everyone has been paired with someone or will pair with someone in the future. Blake Belladonna has paired with Yang Xiao Long, Glyff Branwen with Amythest Rose, Rugby Draken with Yin Harlie, Nora Valkyrie with Lie Ren, Ruby Rose with Weiss Schnee, Jaune Arc with Pyrrha Nikos, Runea Firestorm with my son, Ethan; and eventually Obsydia Automas with Ms. Pandora. At their current rate they should reach the abandoned temple in just a few minutes. By the way, what did you use for relics this year's initiation?" but receives no response from the headmaster.
She then turns and asks "Professor Ozpin?" as he is staring intently at a message from informing him to keep track of their children and pictures of Ruby Rose, Amy Rose, Runea Firestorm, Yang Xiao Long, Jaune Arc, Obsydia Automas, and Glyff Branwen. At the end, it reads 'Protocol Watcher is now active. Prepare for four new instructors arriving today and be vigilant. -Huntsmaster Grimlock.' which cause Ozpin to frown slightly, then sigh. Apparently more trouble was on the way. "Glynda, prepare for our new professors arriving today." Ozpin orders kindly to Glynda while looking up at the sky, though she is confused at his reaction.
(With Ruby and Weiss)
As Weiss walks past a bored Ruby, she says "It's definitely this way." before turning around correcting herself saying it's the other way, before finally stopping and saying "It's official, we passed it." at which Ruby stands up and asks slightly annoyed "Weiss, why can't you just admit that you have no idea where we're going?". Weiss, however instead of admitting such a thing, says "Because I know exactly where we're going! We're going... to... the forest temple!" faltering near the end.
Ruby sighs in frustration asking herself "Why could I not have been partnered with Runea or Glyff? At least they could ask the trees for directions for being part Fairy." at which Weiss says in agitation "Oh, stop it! You don't know where we are either!" before catching the last part of what Ruby said and quietly asked confused "Wait, Fairies?" before Ruby responds in kind to Weiss statement, not hearing her ask the question "Well, at least I'm not pretending like I know everything."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Weiss asks more to the Fairy statement Ruby made then about her knowing everything, which Ruby replies angrily "It means you're a big stupid jerk and I hate you!" at which Weiss sighs and spinning around and walking the other direction, says "Just keep moving!".
"Oh, just keep moving! Hurry up! Waaah! Watch where you're going!" Ruby begins in a faux imitation of Weiss voice before asking accusingly "Why are you so bossy?" to which Weiss instantly turns back around to face Ruby, stating defensively "I'm not bossy! Don't say things like that!"
Ruby and Weiss then begin arguing as Ruby believes Weiss thinks of her as a child and thinks Weiss thinks she is perfect before Weiss finishes it with her saying "I'm. Not. Perfect! Not yet... but I'm still leagues better than you." before walking away while Ruby asks herself dejectedly "You don't even know me...".
Meanwhile Yang, Blake, and Pandora step out into a clearing that reveals a circular stone temple, broken and decrepit but for the platforms around its inside, holding several black and gold objects. Yang then asks a bit foolishly "You two think this is it?" to which in response Blake gives Yang an incredulous look with Pandora say sarcastically "No, I'm sure there are plenty of ruined forest temples in a forest infested by Grimm." as both then head down the hill, with Yang following behind them.
When they walk across the floor and observe the items, noticing they are chess pieces. Pandora then asks as she looks at a Black King confused "Chess pieces?" which Yang then states "Some of them are missing. Looks like we weren't the first ones here." with Blake then suggesting "Well, I guess we should pick one."
In another part of the forest at the same time, Jaune and Pyrrha are standing at the mouth of a dark cave, where crude drawings are seen to the side involving seven armed warriors against giant beasts, with a pair of what seems like giant scorpions facing the giant armed warrior and a giant bird facing the floating warrior, and a dragon like creature facing the warrior with horns on it's head. Jaune then asks "Think this is it?" before noticing that there are exactly seven warriors fighting the hordes of beasts, which makes him think of the stories his dad told him of his grand dad, Ban, being part of The Seven Deadly Sins, who are seven very lethal warriors.
Jaune begins to create a torch before he also remembers that the Seven Deadly Sins were only in Britannia and that these drawings were made more then five thousand years ago, if not more, and walks into the cave with Pyrrha, while holding a short, burning torch to light their way. "I'm not sure this is it." Pyrrha states kindly before Jaune sighs and says "Pyrrha, I made the torch. Could you at least humor me for, like, five more feet?".
Suddenly and completely unexpectedly, Jaune trips on the ground, and the torch flies into a small puddle, extinguishing the flame so the two are cast in darkness with only their eyes visible to each other. "Do you... feel that?" Pyyrha asks as Jaune gets up while grumbling before he asks rhetorically "Soul-crushing regret?" but is surprised when Pyrrha says "No, it's... warm." which is correct as he notices it without the torches heat near them now.
A short distance away from the Temple, Glyff, Runea, Amy, Ethan, Rugby, and Yin are making their way through the forest with little problem as the Grimm seemed to steer clear after meeting up with Glyff, though had a few skirmishes with them when foolish younger ones tried to attack. Glyff then growls a bit, which Amy then nods, saying "Kay, happy hunting Glyff!" and turns to everyone as they see Glyff stalking off into the forest a different direction then they were heading confused, and translates "Glyff says the Temple is just ahead and will meet up with us as he is going to go locate others that may be struggling to get there." which Runea nods in understanding as well as Ethan.
However, Rugby and Yin just deadpan ask "Shouldn't someone go with him then? This is a Grimm infested forest." to which Runea says "I'm pretty sure after what you two saw him do to that Ursa and Beowolf Pack, I'm pretty sure he can handle himself. Besides, Glyff is more effective on his own while fighting, even though he is a scary tactician." to which Rugby is surprised, since she never expected a man that communicates in animal like noises to be a leader, as well.
Back at the temple, Yang approaches one of the relics, studying a golden knight before picking it up and showing it to Blake, saying "How about a cute little pony?" at which Blake smirks saying "Sure.: and walk to the center of the temple floor, as Pandora is leaning against the crumbling wall. "That wasn't too hard!" Yang says happily as Blake then says "Well, it's not like this place is very difficult to find." and shares a smile with each other.
Suddenly they hear some rustling of foliage near them, and the three begin to ready their weapons before seeing a familiar purple cloaked girl leading a group of friends Yang had made somewhat as well as two new faces. "Hey guys. How was the trip?" Yang asks as the three sheath their weapons instantly. Runea then says "A bit hazardous but not too bad, especially when we met up with Glyff." to which Blake asks "Your big cloaked friend with a mask? Where is he?" as she does not see him among them.
"Went to help any students that may still be lost and hunt Grimm." Ethan says with a laugh at which Blake seems surprised that a Faunas would display his heritage so openly with those who would possibly insult them. Amy then grabs a Black Rook as well as Runea while Yin picks up a Golden Bishop. Pandora then says "Guess I'll get a piece if I get a partner that shows up suddenly" and picks up the other Golden Bishop.
Jaune and Pyrrha continue onward through the cave until they see a large glowing point of gold right in front of them, illuminating Jaune's excited features. "That's the relic!" Jaune says excitedly and he slowly reaches out to grab it, but it moves away from his swipe. "Hey! Bad... relic!" he says annoyed and tries to get it again, then jumps forward and hangs onto it as the object raises him above the ground, saying "Gotcha!"
However Pyrrha then says worriedly "Jaune?" as Jaune's catch then lowers itself so he is dangling right in front of the now-glowing red lines and eyes of a Death Stalker.
Jaune's scream is heard all the way from the temple, where everyone minus Blake, Pandora, and Ethan, turn towards the direction of its source. "Some girl is in trouble! Blake, did you hear that?" Yang asks with worry before noticing Ethan snickering at what she said. Blake doesn't answer, as she and Pandora are staring at something in the sky.
At the cave entrance, Pyrrha rushes out right before the monster crashes through the hole, roaring and waving its grass-encrusted claws as Jaune helplessly hangs from the stinger, calling for help and continuing to scream. "Why?! Pyrrha! He-e-e-elp! Pyrrha, this is not the relic! It's not!" Jaune sobs while desperately holding on as the monster swings it's tail, trying to get him off before two others burst out alongside the first.
"Jaune! Whatever you do, don't let-" Pyrrha begins to say before the first Death Stalker hurls it's tail back and launches a still screaming Jaune across the forest as she watches in dismay, while finishing "go." and as she turns back to the three scorpions, they seem very agitated and she smiles embarrassingly before turning and rushing away in a burst of green leaves.
