Chapter four

Initiation Day part one

Ruby and Yang woke up early the next morning and proceeded to the mess hall to get breakfast. They were among the first ones in the mess hall so they had their pick of tables so they picked one where Jaune, Blake and a few others were. "You fell asleep next to me Ruby so I asked Yang to move you back." Blake said as she chewed on a muffin, her nose in a book barely glancing up. "T-Thank you Blake." Ruby said softly and took a seat next to Yang. They ate in near silence with the slight exception when an orange haired girl named Nora came in with a black-haired boy named Ren. Followed by Weiss who was trailing a redhead named Pyrrha.

Ruby, Yang and Blake all finished around the same time so they went to the locker room together by in silence as Blake was still buried in her book. Once the main group arrived and were busy getting ready there was an announcement about having fifteen minutes until the transport ships arrived so they were advised to make their way to the docks.

Once they arrived at the docks they were told they were being dropped off on the cliffs overlooking the Emerald Forest where their initiation would take place.

Ruby put her headphones on just to drown out the noise out everyone's nervous chatter. She just wanted to let her mind focus on one thing. Which was getting to the temple quickly and efficiently. She slowly started to rock on her heels and hum to herself as the transport took off. She wasn't the biggest fan of flying, because it had too many variables involved, but she was slowly getting used to it.

Once the ship landed and everyone was the cliff face Ozpin nodded and Glynda spoke up. "Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignments of "teams". Well allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates… today." Ozpin then spoke "That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."

Ruby blinked but wasn't surprised she had had a feeling about initiation but she couldn't explain it. Ozpin continued "After you've partnered up make your way to the northern end of the forest and retrieve a relic from the temple at the end of the path. You will face opposition… do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path or you will die. Now take your positions." Ruby put her headphones back on the prepared to get launched into the air.

The first part of the initiation arc is done. Since everyone knows about the battle with the death stalker and nevermore should I just skip ahead to the part where team RWBY is born but include the notable segments (Weiss and Ruby becoming partners, retrieving the relics etc.) or should I include the entire nevermore/ death stalker fight? Let me know in a review.

Thanks for being so supportive and as usual feel free to like, favorite and especially review with comments, suggestions, possible fixes. I read every single one and do my best to listen to them.

Until chapter five
