Hello everyone, and welcome to chapter 4 of RWBY! I remade this (more specifically the end) because I had a better idea. So, no delay, let's finish this trial of survival!
Chapter 4 : Initiation of Survival (Part 2)
Atlas and Cindy were heading for the temple in the right direction, thanks to Atlas' visor scanner mode, which tells which way to go.
"Nice gadget you have." Cindy commented.
"Thanks. Made it myself." Atlas said.
"Ha, I bet you make your own weapons too." Cindy joked.
"Actually, I'm learning how to. I already made this sword myself." Atlas mentioned, holding up Lightning Hurricane in its sheath. (It's the name of the high frequency Muramasa blade he has, in case your wondering.)
"Well, never mind." Cindy said.
"Yeah. Let's speed this up." He said, putting the sheath on his waist.
The two then sprinted the rest of the way to the temple. Once they arrived, they slowed down to a halt and looked around.
"Chess pieces?" Cindy questioned.
"Must be the 'relics' this year." Atlas said as the visor turned off, separated, and turned on its stealth camo.
Cindy then picked up one and Atlas picked a different piece as Yang, Blake, Razeluxe, and Connor arrived as well.
"You two are fast." Yang commented.
Next thing they knew, a Ursa came out of the trees with the same hyperactive girl riding it before it fell and died.
"Aww!" The girl said.
The guy from before arrived shortly after. "Nora, don't ever do that again." The girl, now known as Nora, disappeared and reappeared in the temple somehow. She then picks up a piece and starts a little song about being queen of the castle before...
"Nora!" The guy yelled, stopping her song and dance.
"Coming, Ren!" Nora said as the piece fell from her head to her hand.
"Did that girl just ride in on a Ursa?" Yang asked.
Before anyone could answer her question, a Deathstalker came out of the trees, chasing a girl in spartan like armor and red hair.
"That was on her tail the whole way here?" Blake asked.
Next thing they knew, they can heard screaming and looked to see Ruby, Weiss, and Jaune fall from the sky. With a quick swipe from Atlas' blade, a whirlwind appeared under them and slowed their decent to the ground. The same girl that was being chased was then flung into Atlas, who stood his ground and caught her. He then put her down back on her feet.
"All right, the gang is all here." Connor said.
The Deathstalker was facing them as a large bird appeared above them, known as a Nevermore.
"And we have two monsters to deal with." Razeluxe said as the others except Atlas and Cindy got the chess pieces, one for each person.
"Not if I can help it." Ruby said, then goes charging in at the Deathstalker. She then unsheathed her scythe and fired a shot, using the recoil to boost her speed. However, the Deathstalker swung at her, knocking her down.
"It's OK, I got it." Ruby said, then turned around to the monster and fired another shot at its head, which did nothing and ran off, folding her scythe as she ran.
Yang then ran in to help as Ruby ran, the Nevermore flying overhead as it then fired razor sharp feathers at her. The feathers missed as they hit the ground, except one that got her hood. The feathers also stopped Yang in the process.
"Ruby, get out of there!" Yang called out as Ruby tried to unstuck her hood. "I'm trying!"
The Deathstalker was close and brought its stinger down at Ruby, which then... was frozen in an ice wall.
"So childish, hyperactive, and don't get me started on your fighting style." Weiss said.
Ruby was about to say something when Atlas showed up. "Come on, the ice won't hold that thing forever." He said.
The two nodded in agreement as the three were off to join the rest. The group was heading for the cliff as the Nevermore flys to the same destination. Atlas was right, as the Deathstalker was not too far behind them.
"Half takes the Deathstalker, the rest takes the Nevermore!" Everyone nodded in agreement as the two groups split off to face the monsters.
1: Nora, Ren, Pyrrha, Jaune, Connor and Cindy vs. Deathstalker,
2: Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Blake, Razeluxe and Atlas vs. Nevermore.
Ready? FIGHT!

The six faced the Deathstalker, Nora peppering it with several grenades from her grenade launcher and Ren firing from his two pistols. Connor helped from afar using his whip, rapidly slashing at its armor while Cindy came in from behind and sliced off one of its legs, making it go off balance. Pyrrha was also helping out, firing from her rifle as Jaune came in and blocked a swing from one of the monster's pincers with his shield, countering it by slashing one of the Deathstalker's eyes, making it cry out in pain. Pyrrha, Nora and Ren then stopped their long range assault and got in close, Nora's grenade launcher morphing into a blast hammer and Pyrrha's rifle morphing into a sword, as well as pulled out her shield. Nora jumped at the head and smashed the hammer on it, stunning the monster and giving time for Ren to climb up on the tail. He then fired some shots where the stinger and tail meet, loosing it before the monster does a spin, knocking away the group. The six hit the ground before getting back up on their feet.
Meanwhile, the other six was crossing the bridge when the Nevermore came swooping down and crashing itself into the bridge. However, Atlas and Razeluxe jumped over to the other side while Ruby and Yang used their guns' recoil to boost themselves up to the other side as well, Weiss using her glyphs to perform multiple jumps to their position and Blake using her rope to swing herself back up there as well. Using the momentum of the swing, she managed to go up high to in front of the Nevermore, damaging its face and running across its back while slashing it. She then jumped off and landed on the temple.
"It's tougher than it looks." Blake warned the others.
"Then, let's hit it with everything we got!" Yang said as her gauntlet guns readied themselves.
Ruby readied her rifle, Blake's weapon morphed into a pistol, Weiss's Dust chamber changed, Razeluxe's sword morphed into his heavy pistol and Atlas' blade glowed fiery blue with blue electricity with his visor turning on and closing, and they all raised some hell, firing their weapons' projectiles at the Nevermore as it flew at them. (Atlas' projectiles are aerial blades he summons while in this mode.) They kept firing until the Nevermore flew by, its wing going through the pillars under them. The six quickly jumped across the falling debris to the remaining bridge.
"None of this is working." Weiss pointed out as Ruby looked around, which shortly after got a plan.
"I got a plan, cover me." Ruby said as she advanced.
Back with the first six, they got up to their feet as the Deathstalker roared.
"Lure it to the bridge!" Connor said. The rest nodded and lured the Deathstalker over to it and once there, Jaune looked back and noticed the tangling stinger.
"Pyrrha, the stinger!" He said.
"Done." She responded as she threw her shield at it, cutting it off and landing on its head. The shield then bounced off a nearby pillar and returned to Pyrrha.
"Nora!" Jaune called out.
"Heads up." She said as she hopped up on Pyrrha's shield after Pyrrha raised it above her head. She then pulled the trigger and was launched up high in the air. She then came back down and slams the hammer into the Grimm's skull, also making the bridge catapult the others to the other side of the monster. She then pulled the trigger again to make it over to the others, the Deathstalker now falling through the bridge and into the abyss. The six then watched as the others fought the Nevermore.
Yang fired at it, the last one hitting it in the face. It then came at her as she jumped and landed on the opened beak. She fired some more while grunting in the middle of it, "I. Hope. You're. Hungry!" She then stopped and jumped out, landing on her feet as the Nevermore crashed into the cliff and landing on the top of the temple under it. Weiss then went by her and jumped up to where its tail is as it lift off and froze it in place. She then jumped down and went over to where the others are, Blake and Yang stretching Blake's rope between two pillars like a slingshot. Ruby then jumped up to the rope with her feet on the bottom of her scythe's blade like a pogo stick and Weiss creating a black glyph as the rope stretches back to it.
"Of course you would come up with this idea." Weiss commented.
"Think you can make the shot?" Ruby asked.
Weiss smirked, "Can I?"
Ruby was confused, "Uh..."
"Of course I can!" Weiss snapped.
Ruby smirked as the glyph turned red and launched her, firing three shots to boost her speed and got the scythe's blade on the Nevermore's neck like a hook. Weiss then created white glyphs all the way up the cliff in front of Ruby's path and she sprinted up, firing off shots to build up more speed. However, the scythe's blade was a little higher than she thought, the blade then sliding past the Nevermore's beak and releasing it when she reached halfway up. Ruby had no choice but to keep going as the Nevermore regained flight.
"Almost had it!" Yang yelled.
Atlas' blade then glowed crimson red with red electricity and swung full force at the ground below him, unleashing a shockwave and launching him high and onto the cliff. Razeluxe then quickly jumped up onto the cliff as well.
"Nice try, race ya there." Razeluxe taunted as he started sprinting up the cliff.
Atlas smirked as the blade once again changed, this time glowing dark violet with abyss black electricity, and ran up after him. Razeluxe then changed his blade into his pistol and fired five shots, hitting the abdomen of the Nevermore, stunning it. Atlas then quickly ran up the cliff to Ruby and grabbed her hand when he caught up, catching her attention.
"Tag team attack?" Atlas suggested with a smirk.
"All right, let's finish this!" Ruby accepted.
Ruby then got ready as Atlas spun her around, going faster and faster until he throws her, sending her zooming at the Nevermore, followed up by her delivering a upwards crescent slash at the neck as Atlas delivers a downward slash across the abdomen. The three parts of the Nevermore fell into the abyss as Atlas grabbed Ruby's hand and swung his blade, now changed to crimson red, below the two, sending them up onto the cliff. Razeluxe then jumped up and landed on the cliff with the two.
"Well, never mind then." Yang said to herself.
Atlas' eyes then faded back into their blue color and the visor turned off and opened as Ruby folded her scythe and puts it on the back of her waist and Razeluxe changed his pistol back into his blade.
"And that's the end of that." Atlas said as he sheathes his blade.
Time skip (I don't feel like doing the ceremony, so I'll just tell you the teams, their team name, the members and their leader.)
1: Team JNPR (JuNiPeR), Members: Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora. Leader: Jaune Arc
2: Team RWBY (Like Ruby), Members: Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang. Leader: Ruby Rose
3: Team ARCC (Like Ark), Members: Atlas, Razeluxe, Connor and Cindy. Leader: Atlas Ultima
Once the ceremony was over, the teams went to their dorms and rested for the next day.
DONE! Wow, that was intense for me to write. Hope you guys liked the big fight, hopefully also the over the top finish by the three. I changed it up to make it more awesome. So, they survived the trial and the teams are assembled. What could go on from here on out? We'll see later on, won't we? So, until then, I will see you in the next chapter, buh bye!
