Chapter 4: Go team?
Ruby was looking over the new Ren before her. Just like with the others, she took note of the many changes of her silent male friend. Unlike his past green and white motif, he wore a white gi with black pants that was armored with white plates at the knees and shins. His ponytail was also placed into a topknot with the pink streak gone. Back to his weapons, he didn't have the dual SMG daggers but Crocea Mors in all it's glory.
"S-so you're Pyrrha's partner." The time traveler said with a forced smile. All Ren did was nod in response.
'It's okay. So long as team JNPR still forms, it doesn't matter.' She thought while watching her sister and friends interact with the eastern boy. 'Now we just have to wait for Jaune and Nora.'
With Nora
Nora Valkyrie trudged through the forest hacking at trees with her mighty great axe that doubled as a rocket launcher. Any Grimm that came close to her were easily cleaved in half the moment they dared to strike at her. The reason she was hacking at trees though was because her red cape kept getting snagged on the wigs and branches.
"Hello?" She called out, hoping to find someone to partner up with.
Getting no response, she continued to hack at the trees until she heard the sounds of battle a few feet to her left. From the sounds of things, it was a male with a bladed weapon judging by the sounds of metal singing. This was her chance if she was lucky!
As she neared the battle, she saw the lone male facing off against an Ursa Major. He was holding himself off well as seen by the cuts embedded into the Grimm. Jumping in to help finish the job, Nora decapitated the giant bear with ease and watched as it's remains scattered into the winds.
"Thank you." The boy said, putting away his weapon.
"No need." Nora said with a smirk, lending a hand he accepted. "I'm Nora by the way. From the looks of things, we're partners for the next four years. What's your name?"
"I'm Sky." The male identified himself. "Sky Lark."
"Nice meeting you." The ginger smiled, gripping his hand and bumping his shoulder before pointing in the ruin's direction. "Onwards to victory!"
Sky didn't know why, but he felt like he got a great partner.
With Jaune
Jaune was currently on top of a tree branch soaking wet and bare foot. Scanning the forest for any clear spaces or plains, he took not of a few and memorized their distances.
"You see anything?" A gruff male voice called from below.
Looking down, Jaune nodded towards his partner for the next four years: Cardin Winchester. Although the bulky teen wasn't so keen to work with him, he at least was civil enough to try and get along. Then again, it might have been because the blonde snake had saved his life.
Flashback
As Jaune was launched into the air with the others, he had easily caught onto a branch and used the momentum to swing his way downwards until he landed nicely on the ground with a roll. Looking at his surroundings, he had landed near a lake. And it was a deep one too judging by how dark the water was in the middle. As he turned away to find a partner and the ruins, he heard someone shouting in panic from above.
Turning up, he saw a heavily armored male initiate plummeting downwards until he had made a bog splash in the near center of the lake. The male's head had pushed upwards gasping for air while trying to stay afloat.
"H-help!" Cardin shouted, trying to paddle his way but failing due to his armor's weight. "I'm sinking!"
With the panic, came the attraction of Grimm. As Jaune had dove in to help the drowning teen, a King Taijitu had slithered into the waters to do the opposite. It was a race of who would get to the drowning hunter first.
Sadly, the Grimm had made it first with jaws opening to swallow the human. Seeing this, Jaune had taken out his knife and swung a shot of fire to repel the Grimm. Continuing to do so while getting closer to the drowning man, the blonde faunus dove under him to give better support. It wasn't easy with the armor pushing him down, but thanks to his experience in fighting underwater most of his childhood, Jaune was able to hold his breath much longer.
Not feeling himself sinking deeper anymore, Cardin turned to the Grimm swimming his way. Pulling his mace out of the water, he swung it back and forth to keep it at bay until he and whoever his savior was had made it to shallow waters.
"Smile you son of a bitch!" Cardin shouted while shooting an explosion out of his mace as the Grimm tried to snap at him once more.
As it reeled back, the heavily armored teen felt the person underneath him push him off. He felt the ground below him, and the water waist high. As his savior came up for a breath of air, Cardin was shocked to see a faunus was what saved him. Shaking it off for later as the giant Grimm had hissed in front of them, he readied himself to fight.
The black snake head had lunged at Cardin first, but was bashed on the top of the head by his mace. He had continued doing so until the snake had gone limp in front of him.
"Yeah!" Cardin shouted in triumph, smashing a fist onto the fading Grimm's eye. "How you like that!"
It was short lived though as the white snake head had shot from behind out of the water and headbutted him. Jaune had jumped onto the head and continued to stab it multiple times. After the sixth stab, he had stuck the blade deep in and triggered the fire to burn the head. Getting off the dead Grimm, he waded to Cardin and pulled him closer to the shores.
"Are you okay?" The blonde asked, after they had made it to dry land.
"Why did you help me?" The armored teen grunted, not liking he was saved by a faunus.
"Why not?" Jaune shrugged, not getting his attitude but shaking it off. "Anyways. Looks like we're partners for the next four years. My name's Jaune Niege. Yours?"
"…Cardin Winchester." He said gruffly while walking ahead.
End Flashback
During their trek together, Cardin had refused to say anything that acknowledged his presence. Jaune was used to it by now. Although he grew up most of his life on a small island where every citizen knew one another, there were still the occasional few that harbored prejudice against the faunus. But after helping in dispatching Grimm and showing the community that there was nothing to hate, he and his mother were able to live in peace. The snake just had to show his partner that he there was no reason to hate him.
"I'm seeing an open plain a few miles to our right." Jaune called down to his partner. "From the looks of it, there are people standing there. I think I know a few of them."
"Good for you." The chestnut haired teen rolled his eyes, not caring much on the extra info. "Now get down from there so we can finish the initiation before sunset."
Jumping down, Jaune lead the way while Cardin followed grudgingly. In any other situation, Cardin would have just left the blonde to fend for himself. But this was an initiation and like it or not, the snake faunus was his partner. Added that his life was saved by him and had held his own against a huge Grimm gained a bit of his respect.
He may hate faunus, but Cardin was raised to always uphold honor and dignity. As his father had once said to him before: You may have an enemy today and an enemy tomorrow son. But even enemies can show respect. And if your enemies fail to do so, then by all means: Beat it into them.
"H-hey." The teen said gruffly, trying to swallow his pride.
As Jaune turned around to look at him, Cardin had to suppress a shudder at seeing the scales under his eyes. Clearing his throat, he swallowed whatever pride and prejudice he held.
"I didn't get to thank you for… helping me out back then." He said while staring at his feet. "So… thanks."
"You're welcome." His partner nodded, turning back to walk again. "It's part of what we do, right?"
"Excuse me?" The bulky teen asked, not getting the context.
"Future Hunters." The blonde clarified, waving a hand. "We're supposed to help who we can and kill Grimm. It's why we're here, right?"
"Yeah." Cardin said hesitantly, gripping his mace tightly. "It's why we're here."
With Ruby and the others
"We have our pieces, so I don't understand why we should stay." Ren said, leaning on the ruin.
"I'd like to make sure my other friend makes it here." Ruby poked the no longer ninja in the chest. "So you can go on ahead, but I'm staying to make sure he gets here."
"And your partner?" He said, swatting her hand away. "What does she think?"
"I'm actually in full agreement with Ruby." Weiss backed her friend up. "Besides, we still have enough time to get back up the cliffs so I see no rush."
"Pyrrha?" Ren asked his partner, hoping to have someone on his side.
"Sorry Ren, but I wish to see all of us make it through initiation." The redhead said while fiddling with the chess piece in her hands.
"Yang? Blake?" He asked the blonde and raven haired duo.
"I'd go with you." Yang scratched her cheek while not looking him in the eye. "But it wouldn't feel right for me to leave my sister behind just like that."
"Partners have to stick together." Blake nodded, sticking by Yang.
Heaving a sigh, Ren had climbed back onto the ruins to get a higher vantage point of things. While he did so, Ruby had sneakily snagged a piece of his hair to use psychometry on later. By now, she had a collection of her friends' hairs. It may be creepy, but it was easier than taking a personal belonging.
With Nora and Sky
While Jaune and Cardin were on the right track to the ruins, Nora and Sky had bumped into Russell and Dove while heading in the wrong direction. After agreeing to travel together for safety in numbers, they had came across a cave.
"I think it's obvious the ruins aren't in there." Dove stated while looking at the drawings.
"Then again," Russell rubbed his chin. "We haven't seen or heard any other students for a while now, so maybe they went through here and found the ruins. What do you guys think?"
"Let's give it a shot." Sky shrugged, taking out a glowstick and walking in. "If it's there, its there. If it isn't, we run out and retrace our steps."
"And if there's a Grimm inside?" Dove asked.
"We kill it, duh." Nora hefted her weapon to show her point. Not waiting any longer, she marched in while whistling a tune that echoed through the walls of the cave.
"Dude." The Mohawk teen said to Sky while watching the girl walk with a small sway in her hips. "You're partner is hot. Like… in a badass sweet ass kind of way."
"I can hear you." The ginger shouted inside, sounding both miffed and proud.
Gulping, the three males had slowly followed while making sure to keep a small distance from her. As they went deeper into the cave, they noticed how humid the air was getting. The three boys immediately stopped the moment they saw Nora not moving while holding her weapon in rocket launcher mode.
"Nora?" Sky whispered, taking his weapon out while giving the glowstick to Russell.
"Everyone move back slowly." She ordered them in a serious tone.
In front of her was a horde of Creeps. They were currently just breathing hard while staring in their direction, waiting for them to make a move. Anything to provoke them to attack.
While slowly backing up, Dove's heel bumped into a rock that rolled and echoed through the walls. It was enough as the Creeps roared and started charging after them. Nora fired a shot above them while running back to the entrance, causing the ceiling to collapse as they continued to run out. Seeing the light, the four pumped their legs faster as they jumped out to avoid getting squashed.
"Oh my god!" Dove heaved, running his hands through his hair. "I think my heart is pumping too fast. I am tastin' adrenaline guys! And it tastes like coconut."
"Just shut man." The Mohawk teen rasped on all fours. "Ah, I need a drink."
"Hey, at least we got away." Sky said while sitting on the grass. He soon felt he had to retract that statement as soon as the cave started shaking.
With a mighty roar a Creep the size of a Deathstalker had emerged from the cave entrance, breaking it open and having smaller Creeps running out.
"Cheese it!" Nora shouted, grabbing her partner and getting far away from the colossal Grimm.
As the four continued to run away from the horde and it's leader, they saw a shot fired into the air coming from their right. Taking a chance in hoping it was someone signaling from the ruins, the four ran towards the source of the shot while taking out Grimm who got too close.
With Ruby and co a moment ago
"Did anyone else hear that loud roar?" Yang asked, getting on the defensive.
"Yeah." Pyrrha nodded, taking her weapons out. "Do you think we should leave?"
POW!
Hearing a gunshot and a fire dust being shot into the air, the group turned to see Ruby with sniper pointed into the air and smoking.
"W-why would you do that?!" Ren shouted, seeing a huge black figure heading their way now from his spot atop the ruins. "You just alerted the Grimm towards us."
"And I also got whoever it might be chasing to get here where there are people to help." Ruby shot back, heading up to him and taking a position with her sniper.
'The old Ren was nice and willing to help others without a moments thought.' The time traveler thought while finding a position to snipe whatever came their way. 'I hope he isn't like this most of the time.'
"You can run and hide if you want." She continued, not turning away from her scope. "But I'm staying here to help the others."
"Our objective was to get the pieces and leave." The magenta eyed teen said through gritted teeth. "This isn't our concern."
"If that's all you care about, then you're a poor excuse as a future hunter!" Ruby shouted, getting tired of Ren's attitude.
That had gotten all of their friends' attention. Looking up to the two having a heated conversation, Yang placed a hand on Pyrrha's shoulder to sop her from interfering.
"Hunters help people." She snarled, looking him in the eye to show the fire in hers. "They kill Grimm, bring hope, and do what they can to save others."
"That's-" Before he could get a word in she shot him down.
"And I CAN help them." She butted his head hard. "I'm strong. I can fight. So why should I run when I know I help? You wanna go? Go then! You cant handle it, so you want to leave."
"Shut up!" He shouted, standing up to look down on her. "I can fight! I'm strong too!"
Ruby smirked as she saw a glimpse of the friend she once knew.
"So what are you running from?" She said, turning back to her scope.
Jumping down, Ren joined the others as they readied themselves to help whoever came to them. As they saw the trees falling and a Creep jump out a few miles away from them, they were about to fire but stopped as it had exploded with a small crater replacing where it once was.
Nora, Sky, Dove, and Russell appeared out of the forest with weapons drawn and riding atop one of the other Creeps. Seeing the others at the ruins, the four stabbed their weapons into the Grimm they were riding and sprinted to join them. The smile on the Valkyrie's face fell when she saw Ren standing with the others.
"I see you made it." She sneered, flipping a stray hair away from her face. "I'm surprised you didn't leave the moment you got here."
"I had other things on my mind." Ren rolled his eyes at his bitter rival and old friend. "And I see you brought trouble with you. I'm not surprised by that at all."
Before the two could continue on, Nora's partner had came up to her with a chess piece in hand. Ruby couldn't tell which piece he had pocketed, but it didn't matter as the horde of Grimm had arrived. From behind them they heard rustling from the bushes as a Grimm fell out with Jaune and Cardin on top of it looking sweaty.
"Sup?" The blonde greeted his friends after taking his jambiya out of the Grimm's hide.
Cardin grunted with a small wave and proceeded to walk over to grab his chess piece.
"Hey." Yang waved, walking up to help her fellow blonde up. "Nice entrance by the way. Glad you could finally make it."
"Sorry." The snake said with a smile, looking behind her to see the horde coming at them. "It looks like we made it in time to help."
"Nope." Cardin grunted, pocketing his chess piece. "Look man, the objective was to get a chess piece and get out. WE got what was asked, so we're getting out of here."
"Thank you." Ren sighed, finally meeting someone he could talk to and turning to Ruby. "So that means we can go now, right Ruby?"
The time traveler wasn't answering as she was trying to shoot down as many of the Creeps coming near them. Taking out her empty clip and replacing it with one specially marked she fired off an earth powered round that cracked the ground below the Grimm, causing them to fall into a shallow sinkhole to buy them more time. As the smaller ones scattered away, the only one left was the huge Creep stepping over the sinkholes like they were anthills.
"We're not going anywhere with that big guy blocking our path." Weiss said, readying a glyph. "Sunset is almost close, so fighting isn't an option now."
"So we run by the guy and head on up the cliffs." The blonde brawler shrugged, finding it easy. "Sounds good."
"Everyone stick with your partners and stay with the group." Cardin told them with authority in his voice. "Let's get this done right."
Nodding, the group ran ahead while avoiding to get caught by the Grimm. A few small Grimm had survived, but were easily taken down as Ruby zipped ahead to slice them up. Anything that came too close was burnt, cleaved, or pierced as the group didn't stop for anything.
Making it to the cliff they were launched from, Ruby saw that there was no longer any stone bridge or abyss but an open plain with a zigzagging narrow pathway going upwards to the top. This was one of those other things she'd have to ask Ozpin about once they met up. Forming a line, the group went in a single file with Weiss in the front while being careful not to fall.
The giant Grimm saw it couldn't follow the group of trainees as they ran up. Thirty feet high, Ruby looked down to see the giant Creep moving back while still facing them. Seeing it then lowering it's head, she shouted for all of them to brace themselves. The Creep charged forward and rammed the cliff, causing a tremor that had them all shaking. It had continued doing so while they tried to move upwards.
After the fifth time, the land under Ren, Blake, and Sky's feet had loosened and they started falling. Seeing their partners in danger, Pyrrha along with Yang and Nora jumped after them with weapons drawn. Ruby followed after her sister, and Weiss did the same to help out with Dove and Russell jumping down to help their new friends. Just as Jaune was about to join them, Cardin had caught his arm before he could jump down.
"Are you nuts?" The brunette growled, keeping his partner in place. "It's not our problem."
"But they need our help." The blonde snake pointed to their friends below. "We cant just ignore them."
"Yes we can!" Cardin shouted, spit flying into Jaune's face. "They can handle it. So let's get up there and pass this initiation. It's not our faults they wanted to play hero."
Looking down, Jaune saw the group trying to get back up while firing a few rounds to drive the Grimm away. The Grimm was getting hurt, but it didn't stop in causing the tremors. With another tackle, the pathway under them was destroyed once more and they were on the bottom floor with the big bad Grimm.
"Cardin, they're stuck down there." Jaune said, trying to get his arm out of his partner's grip. "They'll need help."
"They can find a way." His partner didn't budge, trying to drag him up the cliff with him. "Now let's keep moving. The sun's almost-"
"No!" The blonde shouted, pulling his arm away with all his force. "I'm helping them with or without you."
Jumping down, Jaune shouted a battle cry as he summoned a wall of fire from his knife to push the Grimm back. It was holding it back, but the flames were slowly dying out as the Grimm tried to get past it.
"How's everyone doing?" He asked Ruby, who was firing a few rounds over the flames.
"Not so good." She muttered, aiming another shot into the Grimm's open mouth. "Ren's leg is broken from the fall, and Sky's shoulder was popped out of it's socket. Everyone else is okay though."
As Jaune moved to inspect Ren, he froze at seeing Crocea Mors at his hip. He didn't get a clear look at it when they first saw each other, but now he could see it clearly. Quenching whatever he was thinking for later, looked over the guy's broken leg. Nothing was protruding out, so it was safe to assume it was a simple hairline fracture. Turning back to the Grimm behind his wall of fire, Jaune swung once more to have the fire rise again.
"Do you think you can hold that up long enough for all of us to get up?" Ruby asked, continuing to fire more bullets to weaken the Grimm more.
"Not really." He said sadly, looking at the fire crystal's power. "Too much use of the fire makes it weaker each time. The next swing wont be enough to make a wall."
"Then we'll have to fight that thing." The hooded girl sighed, seeing the sun lowering. "And it looks like we'll be failing initiation."
Gripping his knife, the blonde forced a smile while putting a hand on Ruby's shoulder. "At least we tried. I hear there's always next year."
"Yeah." Ruby mumbled, not sure how this would affect the events. "Next year."
As the flames died down, the Grimm took a cautious step over the burnt earth towards them looking battered from all the bullets shot at it. As Ruby shifted her gun into scythe mode and the others got ready to fight, they heard a loud shout coming from above them. It was a familiar one to Jaune, but sounding more angry than scared.
WAM!
With the help of gravity and his aura, Cardin had managed to jump down and smash his mace onto the Grimm's plated head and causing a crack. Clicking the trigger on his mace, he made an explosion that had him fly back to be caught by Jaune and Yang.
"You came back?" The blonde snake asked his partner.
"Whatever." The bulky teen muttered, turning away with a pout. "I wouldn't be Cardin 'fucking' Winchester if I ran."
Ruby took note of the Grimm's broken mask and continued firing on where it was cracked, causing it to chip away and grow larger. As it staggered back from the pain, Yang and Cardin jumped to continue hammering at it's head until the mask was now completely broken. While they were attacking it's head, Jaune was cutting it's legs and causing serious damage by using the rest of the fire crystal's energy to superheat the blade. Cutting the Grimm's leg and bringing it off balance, Ruby used her semblance to shoot herself straight forward and stab her scythe deep into the huge open crack Cardin and Yang made on it's head. Once the Grimm showed signs of scattering in the winds, the group cheered while thrusting their weapons in the air.
"We may not have passed, but we at least we have something to tell when we head back home." Ruby sighed, walking to her sister. "It looks like I'll be taking the normal way into Beacon."
"I think you're all giving up too soon, Ms. Rose." Came a voice from the broken pathway. Turning towards it, the group saw Ozpin and Glynda walking towards them with the pathway now restored with the blonde adviser's aid. "Glyna may have said the time limit is until the sun sets, but I still see a bit of sun peeking over the mountains just ahead. If you all hustle now, I believe you will have enough time to pass."
Taking his word, the groups picked up their injured and sprinted up the pathway with dust kicking up behind them. As they did, they left Ozpin and Glynda standing while watching the Grimm continue to dissipate.
"They all failed." Glynda told the headmaster once they were out of earshot. "You know this. So why give them special treatment?"
"Dear Glynda." The old time traveler smirked. "Surely you can see the great potential they hold. Despite any form of animosity they may hold for one another, they are still able to work together to take down a greater Grimm. Would you really turn away such potential if shown to you?"
"…I wouldn't." The blonde woman admitted, looking back to her scroll. "I just hope nothing comes out of this. Especially with who they are. Not only Summer's children, but with the Arc's-"
"Worry not Gynda." Ozpin waved, walking up the pathway and motioning her to follow. "I'm very confident nothing bad would come that cannot be fixed."
"If you say so, Ozpin." As she followed the man up, Glynda could only wonder what the wise man had planned in that mind of his. She felt that he has been keeping her in the dark about many things.
Hours later at the auditorium
While standing with the others, Ruby could only wonder who would be teamed up. She made sure that team RWBY would form, but after seeing Nora and Jaune not being partnered up, she was now panicking internally. As Ozpin stepped forward to the podium he had called her team up first.
"You four took the white knight pieces." The headmaster announced. "From this day on, you will be known as Team RWBY …lead by Weiss Schnee."
The audience clapped while Yang and Blake congratulated the white haired teen on her new position. To Ruby, she stared at Ozpin who held a small smirk she could see was meant for her. The two would have much to talk about. Stepping down, Ozpin continued to call on the others.
"Pyrrha Nikos. Arc Lie Ren. Nora Valkyrie. and Sky Lark." The old man listed the names. "You four took the white rook pieces. From this day, you are Team PRSN(Persian)… lead by Pyrrha Nikos."
While Ren and Sky clapped for their new leader, Nora had lifter her onto her shoulders with a smile on her face to better show her to the audience. After walking down with Pyrrha still sitting on Nora's shoulders, Ozpin continued.
"Jaune Niege. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. And Russell Thrush." Ruby wondered what name the headmaster had thought for them. "You four picked the white bishop pieces. From this day, you are Team JCND(Jacaranda)… lead by Jaune Niege."
As the boys patted their new leader on the back with Cardin grudgingly accepting him with people watching, they stepped off as Glynda took over for the headmaster.
"These are the students who have made it into Beacon. I welcome you and hope to see you in class." She said before summarizing the teams once more. "And the teams are…"
While Glynda did so, Ruby never took her eyes off Ozpin as he walked out to head to his tower. The way Ozpin treated her when they met in the jail cell still irked her. He wasn't the same kind old man that greeted her with cookies and wise advice.
Walking with her team to their assigned dorm, they were neighbors to PRSN who were across from them while JCND were given a dorm one floor above them. Today had been nothing but weird and unexpected changes for Ruby Rose. For now, she would have to adapt and find a way to bring them all together if she wanted to save them all. Closing her eyes and going to sleep, she tried to calm herself of the unknown tomorrow.
To be continued…
AN: And that chapter is done. A lot of foreboding as each team now has something they need to jump over. And what of Ozpin? What is his game in changing things? And what of Ruby and her plans to save everyone?
Truthfully I was going to make an omake of an unknown event, but decided to leave it for the next chapter because it was important to the storyline. But here's an omake anyways!
Follow the leader
"And the leader of team PRSN is …Arc Lie Ren." Ozpin informed the group.
"Thank you headmaster." Ren bowed while turning to his team. "As my first decree as leader, all females on the group must change to COMBAT MINISKIRTS!"
"Even me?" Pyrrha squeaked, conscious on showing her legs.
"Of course." Ren nodded with a smirk with nose in the air. Sky was instantly hugging his leg like a happy lapdog.
"You're the best leader ever!" The spearman cheered. "I'll follow you to the ends of time."
Let's see what would have happened if someone else got to be a leader.
"And your team leader is …Yang Xiao Long."
"Thank you headmaster Ozpin" Yang said with a salute and other hand behind her back. "Under my rule: I WILL MAKE TEAM RWBY GREAT!"
"O-okay?" Ozpin said unsure of what was happening.
"Guys." The blonde brawler held her hand up straight. "High five! High five!"
That's foreboding. Let's see another!
"And your team leader is …Russell Thrush."
"Yeah bay-bey!" The Mohawk teen shouted while pelvic thrusting the public then running to hug his teammates. "Don't worry Ozzy baby. My team and me will be bringing sexy to Beacon. Right ladies!"
"Mr. Thrush." The headmaster rubbed his temple over the screams of and cheers of women. "Please stop -erhm! Humping the side of Mr. Niege."
"Ruby! Give me a tenner." Yang shouted while holding up some Lien. "I think if I throw enough they'll start stripping each other!"
Okay. That's enough… alright maybe one more.
"And your team leader is …Blake Belladonna."
"…"
"…"
"… Do you not have anything to say, Ms. Belladonna?" Ozpin asked.
"Nope." The cool girl said, pulling her team down so the others could go next. As they were out of the public's hearing, she whispered something to her team. "Panty raid tomorrow night. All genders."
Her team snickered sinisterly as they planned the old tradition.
Ok, now it's done. …Really it's over. We all know Nora's going to be an evil dictator queen while forcing Pyrrha into a princess Leia slave girl outfit while the boys are her slaves that carry her while she sits on a throne.
So team names first. If you dont think those colors exist look em up. I had to.
Now appearance-wise, CRDL looks the same with some slight changes to armor detail. For Pyrrha, think of Yozora from Haganai with the short hair and tracksuit only with colors changed. If Pyrrha is going to be a famous 'loser,' then why not give her a character that seems unpopular but has great skills.
Yang's just wearing her volume 4 outfit. I really like it. The cute bumblebee, the simple jacket, all of it.
Weiss is dressed like a mini-Winter. Her clothes really are hand-me-downs. Without a super … is it a conglomerate or vertical integration? Maybe a chain? Look it up later. So without the company, I doubt she could afford those nice dresses and rich classy outfits we see in all three seasons including the leaked volume 4 one.
Blake is in her volume 2 outfit without the cat ears. Why'd I not make her a cat faunus? You'll see. It'll be revealed like everything else.
Nora is like Unworthy Thor but with a breastplate that shows off her bust and her combat skirt being a darker shade of pink. I was planning on making her like Gwenpool, but then the hammer was just something predictable in my opinion.
Ren is like Hakuryuu from Magi, except without the burn scar and all those ornaments. At first I was just going to have him like some sort of samurai like Yatsuhashi, but then another part of me said "Hey Jitters. Remember how Jaune said Ren was like the brother he never had?" Hehe. Oh the things that will happen.
And for Jaune… think of genderbent Ikumi Mito from Shokugeki no Soma but with blue eyes. That's what happens when I watch Free! and Shokugeki at the same time. And if you're wondering why he's a faunus? I needed a really good reason for his dad not to want him besides his mom being a prostitute.
So there we go! Some things explained. Hope you enjoyed it. If you didn't: Well, okay. And if you did: Look forward to the next chapter! It's class time along with teenage drama! …No not really. But there will be deeper drama as Ruby tries all she can to confront Ozpin and look into the pasts of her friends.
