The Teams Are Set

Read the bottom author note! I hope you enjoy the story, and I don't own any characters other than my OC. Rooster Teeth owns them.

"Talking"

Narration

'Thinking'

Skylar

'Grimm are so dumb to think they can kill me.' Skylar thought to himself as he cut off another Beowulf's head. Before doing a one-eighty and cutting down another one before it has a chance to touch him.

The Beowolf's stop their attack to seemingly try and outsmart him. They circle him a little growling probably hoping he will get scared and let his guard down. He has battled stronger and scarier things than these, though and he remains unaffected.

"Well come on uglies I don't have all day," I shout with a smile as my speed runes are activated. Along with runes on my arms that make me swing a lot faster.

One of the clearly younger ones roars before charging which causes the others to start charging as well. I charge at the first one in a blur cutting clean through it with my large one-sided black knife. Before any of the others can react another three are dead and fading away.

'Haha a little too easy for me.' I think to myself as I cut clean through five more. I stop in front of one and it tries to bring an arm down on me. I respond by cutting through the arm and cutting off its head. Before finally doing a flip off of its body and landing behind another Beowolf. Where I proceeded to stab it and moving in a blur again to take down more.

Before long they are all dead with not even a body left behind. "Well, at least no one has to ever clean up the bodies," I say to myself realizing the convenience of that as I put away my over-sized knife. "Well, I think this is enough for today I'll just kill more tomorrow if needed," I said realizing the new students will be arriving shortly, and that I have been up since six killing Grimm in this forest. I do this every year because Ozpin doesn't want anyone dead from excessive amounts of Grimm. He also knows how fun it is for me. Of course, I still have to leave an abundant amount of Grimm for the students.

Skylar

"Ah well, this is not what I expected," I said to myself as I watch from a distance the interaction between Ruby and Weiss. "Well I guess she is a Schnee what can I expect from her." I decide maybe I should help before I see another girl step in with a bow on her head.

I immediately noticed a very small twitch when focusing on the bow. 'Huh a Faunus, wonder why she's hiding her identity. Oh well, must be a bad experience with racists not my business.'

Weiss storms away as the Faunus girl leaves as Ruby says. "Thanks…. Ah." Before making a comment about welcome to Beacon and falling on the ground. I see another first-year student then walk up to her and offer a hand. Which is where I take my leave. I'm supposed to let the students make new friends and not really interact unless a problem occurs. Also, I've heard Ozpin's speech time and time again I don't really need to hear it again.

The Next Day

Skylar

"Hey, Skylar!" I hear suddenly before turning around to address the speaker.

"Oh hey, Ruby heading to the cliff?" I said to Ruby before realizing that another girl is next to her. She is taller has a jacket that doesn't cover her stomach and short shorts on. She also has these yellow cuffs and with no other weapon in sight, I will have to guess that's it. This girl also seems to love yellow.

Ruby seems to realize how we're staring each other down although for totally different reasons. "Oh! Yang this is Skylar the guy who helped me with Torchwick and the youngest Huntsman ever! Skylar this is Yang, my sister!"

'Oh. Makes sense.' I think before saying. "Well nice to meet you, Yang." Which brings an almost sadistic smile on her face.

"Oh hi Skylar, Ruby has told me so much about you. We'll have to talk later." She says in an even more sadistic voice which makes me realize that the 'talk' she is emphasizing won't be very pleasant.

I just let out a nervous laugh before saying. "Oh uh, I'll be waiting for that then. For now, though you have to go meet up with the others for initiation." I say in a nervous stammer walking away before turning around again and saying. "Oh and I'll be cheering you on Ruby good luck."

As I'm walking away I hear a small "Thanks" let out from Ruby. Before I hear them turn and walk towards the cliffs.

"Ah, Skylar nice of you to join us," Ozpin stated calmly as I walk towards him and Glynda overlooking Emerald Forest.

"Well, I wanted to see how the teams are doing," I say as I join them and look at the screen in Ozpin's hands.

Ozpin smiles at me as I see how Ruby, Yang, Weiss, and the faunus who I learned was Blake fighting a Nevermore. Same with four others taking down a Death Stalker. Ozpin notices my stunned silence at the first year students before saying. "Impressive isn't it? They all work well together."

That snaps me out of my daze to which I reply. "Yeah, they do work well together."

I could see Glynda about to make a comment before Ruby is slingshotted at the Nevermore, and with the help of Weiss's Glyphs starts running up the mountain with the Nevermore attached to the blade of her Scythe. As she reached the top she cut off its head doing flips and finally landing on the edge of the cliff. "I gotta admit it was impressive for a first-year student," Glynda says surprising Ozpin and me.

I could tell Ozpin was going to make a comment about that but we hear a sound returning our attention to the screen. A pack of Beowolf's… Well more than a pack, Like ten packs with the numbers. To top it off a few Death Stalkers are in the mix too by my count almost twenty. I see the students prepare and group together and face the group. Ruby sees what is going to happen and doesn't hesitate to go join her sister and the rest of the students. They meet the Grimm swinging but it's a falling battle as they get pushed back to the edge of the chasm.

"Skylar," Ozpin says making me look at him hoping he tells me to take care of it. "I think they deserve a break."

All I do is smile and nod before activating runes to jump. As I'm falling I deactivate the jumping runes and activate my landing runes that allow me to fall from any distance with no broken legs. I see a Death Stalker cornering the 8 students about to push them off even with how well they are holding it off. Thinking fast I land on the Death stalker and jump off it doing a flip which lands me in front of the students. As the Death Stalker starts to disappear, I turn to Ruby and the others.

I look at them quickly trying to see any injuries knowing the Grimm won't be stunned for long. They are all panting and look tired, at least I don't see anyone injured. I meet Ruby's eyes for a second and see how she looks kinda worried. "Let me handle this." All I do is wink at her before turning around as I activate my punching, kicking, and speed runes. Which equals three runes in all. One Beowolf finally reacts and rushes at me along with others. I punch the first one in the face and with my punching rune making my punches stronger, the Grimm gets instantly shot back into another group.

I immediately jump into the fray punching and kicking Grimm around left and right while running between them all. I activate my skin rune that makes my skin more durable and keeping myself safe after nearly avoiding a swipe from a beowolf. I kept track of my kills and so far I have only forty-five. A Death Stalker comes at me but before it can react I run up to it and punch it between its eyes killing it instantly. I then do a backflip off a Beowolf that charges at me and land on another Beowolf Slicing its head off with my now unsheathed Katana.

I can see Ruby gasp with wonder at the sight of my weapon. I can almost hear all of their thoughts. They are all probably wondering if I'm so good with my bare hands. How good could I possibly be with an actual weapon?

"Well, time to give them a real show," I mumble to myself with a small smile. The Grimm have stopped and are looking at me. "Huh, cautious means they are older than most Grimm in the forest. Where did they come from?" I say with a small frown coming over my face. I deactivate my punching and kicking runes. Before activating my ranged slice rune on my sword, which made a symbol light up along with the edge of the sword.

I slice horizontally straight ahead at the Grimm cutting them all into pieces, taking care of a big number of Grimm instantly. I hear a gasp coming from where the group of students are. Knowing they are probably surprised at the show of power. I just smirk before deactivating ranged slice and activating the sharp rune on my sword. Which lights up a different symbol and the blade becomes almost brighter as a green glow envelopes it.

"Let's finish this," I say smiling again, and with my speed rune still activated I start running at a great speed. Even faster than before because of the fact I only have one other rune activated at the time, instead of two. In under a minute, I pull to a stop and look around to see no Grimm in sight. I look over to see the eight students standing there just staring at me.

Ruby is the first one to break the silence as I sheathe my sword with. "Oh, my god! That was so awesome!"

I just smile down at her as she runs up to me as I reply. "Ah, not really it was nothing."

I see the rest of the students come by with Pyrrha Nikos saying. "Nothing? It was a pretty impressive sight."

I smirk a little before replying. "No, what was impressive was your show of teamwork and how well you handled the situation."

I can see them all smile before Ruby says. "Well uh, thanks but we wouldn't be alive if you didn't come along."

"That's not true I'm sure you guys would have figured something out. Now how about we get back in time for the ceremony so you can be officially accepted into Beacon." I say as I walk away without waiting for a reply. After a few seconds, I hear them walking after me.

Later That Night

Skylar

I stand by Ozpin looking out the window from his clock tower as he sips on his drink. He ends up to be the first to break the silence with. "So do you still think this year will be boring?"

I smirk a little before saying. "No, I think this year will be great. Good choice in the team names by the way. Even if making Ruby the leader of team RWBY was cheesy. Seriously you couldn't have found a different team name?"

He chuckles a little at that before replying. "Nah this name worked perfectly in my eyes. What do you think about Jaune?"

"Besides the fact that he never went to a combat school, and used fake transcripts to get in the school?"

"Well if he ends up gravely injured he will be sent back home, with that injury serving as punishment."

"What if he doesn't become injured Ozpin?"

Ozpin just takes another sip before saying. "Well with someone like Phyrra as a teammate he should be able to get better."

I smirk getting where he is going with this replying. "Oh, you see potential in him. Well, I do too, he handled the situation pretty well."

"Yes he did, but Skylar I had something else to talk to you about before you head to bed."

That surprises me a bit. "Well, what is it?"

"I have another mission for you. You will be heading to Mistral for this one."

I have not been to Mistral for a while but I do remember that the place has many black markets and ways to get info. So I decide to ask. "What's the mission?"

He seems to nod like he knew what I was thinking, before taking another sip and saying. "I want you to track down the White Fang Leader Adam Taurus."

I gasp before smirking in disbelief. "Really? Really!"

He smiles at me knowingly before saying. "Yes really."

"Awesome! Thank you so much."

He turns to me with a serious look, saying. "Now he probably isn't even in Mistral but you can probably find info on where he is there."

"Oh of course. So when am I leaving?"

"Tomorrow afternoon, a Bullhead will be ready to take you. You better get some sleep, Skylar."

I smile before walking towards the elevator. "Yeah I will, see you in the morning."

Well, that's that. Wish I got this out sooner but it just didn't work out I guess. The new RWBY episode is soon! Looking forward to that and finally decided to get out of my writer's block. Kinda glad I waited, now I have new info on the kingdoms which can be used for my story. As you can see by the end of this chapter. My OC character has his own story and I won't be changing much of the original show other than the romance aspect.

I'll get the new chapter out as fast as possible. So at least by next week, Saturday is my plan.

Please leave reviews, follow and favorite the story if you like it. I also hope you enjoy the new episode of season 4. I know I will! Have a good day!
