Five Percent Effort

'How am I still in the air?'- Andrew thought to himself. Right now Andrew was just launched into the air and was falling fast into the ground below. He needed a plan quick because unlike the other students this fall could actually kill him. After all, his aura is not as develop to what is expected of Beacon students. Thankfully Andrew is a quick thinker.

Andrew moved his hand to his Pip-Boy. In a blink of an eye, Andrew was covered in an amber light just as he hit the ground. For just a second one could see two bright yellow eyes in the smoke of where Andrew landed. As the smoke cleared all one could see now was Andrew in his normal attire. Though now Andrew had a very large rifle in his hands.

"Hello, beautiful. It has been too long."- Andrew said with a devil like a smile. The weapon Andrew had out was his 'Bozar'. The weapon was as big as an average human with a large scope attached to it. It has a thirty round clip that fires 5.56mm rounds. The same type of ammo used by most MoJave PMC forces. "Now. Where do I go?"- Andrew said out loud.

Andrew wasn't able to get any real clues, as he was falling, to where he needed to go. So he decided to just explore the area. Hoping something comes up along the way. As he was exploring something did come up. Two red eyes started to pear out of some bushes next to Andrew. Those two red eyes soon multiplied into ten more. Five Beowolfs came out of those bushes looking ready to tear Andrew apart.

'Easy.'- Andrew thought with a little disappointed. He stilled smiled at the Beowolfs as he lifted his rifle. The beasts charged at Andrew with the first three being mowed down by Bozar. The last two missed Andrew. As the last Beowolfs turned back around Andrew re aimed at them and fired. The two were quickly dealt with as Andrew's clip ran empty. After that was over Andrew just reloaded and went on his way.

On the other side of the forest though Jaune was currently hanging from a tree. Him being held there by Pyrrha's spear, with them, now being new partners. Not too far off both Ruby and Weiss have been declared partners as well. As every student was now finding their new partner for the year. Ozpin and Glynda were up atop a cliff looking over the many cameras's they had littered throughout the forest.

"They'll going to need work."- Glynda said commenting on Weiss and Ruby's fight against a few Grimm. Clear to say Glynda was quite disappointed with their 'performance'. Ozpin on the other hand was watching Andrew. "You don't have to worry. We've made sure he'll be by himself. You should put your attention on some of our other students."- Glynda said trying to reassure Ozpin that their plan for Mr. Garnet will work out.

"You're probably right."- Ozpin said.


'What's burning?'- Andrew thought as he sniffed the air. He looked to his left and saw burning trees in the distance. "Seems I'm not the only one who ran into trouble."- Andrew said this as he shoved the barrel of his gun into a Ursa Major's mouth. Andrew pulled the trigger, killing the beast, then pointing his magnum at a Beowolf. Andrew killed the last of the monsters leaving a pile of dead Grimm at his feet. He himself showing no real reaction to it.

Andrew looked around to see if any more Grimm will show. "Still got it."- Andrew said happily at the fact the fight took little out of him. Once he was sure no more Grimm were coming, Andrew began his walk again. 'Now where is that damn temple?'- Andrew thought to himself.

"EEEEEEHHHHHH!"- A loud yell went out making Andrew get into a ready position. As he stopped to hear he determined that the yell came due west of him. With only that to go on Andrew went into a sprint to see what's has happened. As he ran he looked up to see Jaune flying through the air. This made Andrew stop and question life for a moment.

It did not take long though for Andrew to get back into things. There was the sound of trees falling to the left of Andrew, and when looked over he saw two things. Pyrrha running towards him and a giant radscorpion behind her. Andrew not wanting to fight the damn thing began to run with Pyrrha as well.

As the two ran, they soon came into a clearing. Andrew looked to the left to see one of many things. One was the temple that had five different people just standing around talking. The other thing was both Weiss and Jaune falling onto the ground. As this was going on both Pyrrha and him were still running from the Death Stalker.

"Will you get your thumbs out of your asses and help us!"- Andrew screamed across to the group by the temple. This gave enough time for the Death Stalker to land a hit on both Andrew and Pyrrha. "Bitch!"- Andrew again yelled as both he and Pyrrha were thrown over to the temple.

"Great the gangs all here. Now we can die together."- Yang said, she being one of the faces Andrew recognized. The other being Ruby, with the last two being unknowns to Andrew. Both Andrew and Pyrrha began to get up as Ruby just now decided to help. Key word being help because she just ran straight at the monster. Ruby not releasing she was paper against that things armor.

"I'm fine!"- Ruby yelled back to the group. She now running from the Death Stalker. As she ran a Nevermore appeared and launch its feathers at Ruby, trapping her as one feather hit her red cape. Seeing this both Yang and Andrew started to run towards Ruby to try and save her from the Death Stalker that was now ready to strike. Lucky for all three of them Weiss was able to stop the Death Stalkers stinger from hitting Ruby.

"You are so childish."- Weiss said to Ruby. Weiss had just made an ice barrier that trapped the Death Stalkers stinger. As Weiss was now scolding Ruby both Yang and Andrew ran up to the two. As both Weiss and Ruby 'worked' out their problems Andrew began to walk behind the now exposed Death Stalker.

"Guys! That thing's circling back."- Jaune said pointing out the Nevermore. The whole group was now next to each other, not including Andrew. "What are we going to do?"

"Look. There's no sense to diddle dawdle. Our objective is right in front of us."- Weiss said pointing to the chess pieces inside the temple.

"She's right. Our objective is to grab an artifact and deliver them back to the cliffs. We don't have to fight these things."- Ruby said sounding a little 'adult'.

"Run and live. That's an idea I can get behind."- Jaune said as both he and Ruby walked over to grab their own artifact. Once they were finished Andrew got back to the group.

"Where were you?"- Weiss demanded.

"Oh me. I was just setting up some fireworks."- Andrew said making the group confused as to what 'fireworks'. It didn't take long for them to find out. Andrew pulled his detonator and the back side of the Death Stalker started to shoot out explosions. All well Andrew had his back towards it.

"When did you?"- Yang asks as everyone was left in a little disbelief.

"Well, thanks to Weiss here I was able to plant C4 under the beast. After that, it was just pulling a trigger."- Andrew said back to the group. "If you don't mind. I'll just go grab my artifact and we can all be on our way."

Andrew walked over to the artifacts looking for which one to choose. He did find it quite comical that the artifacts were chess pieces. 'Let's see, which is most like me?'- Andrew thought to himself. 'I would say King, but the King is only good at leading. So that leaves me...'- Andrew finished that thought by grabbing the black Queen. 'All in one. Fits me just right.' Andrew was now done and the Nevermore screamed out getting ever so closer again.

"Time we left."- The boy in green East Asian clothing said. Andrew will come to find the kids name is Ren. The group started to run for the cliffs with Ruby leading the way. The group ran into another large clearing with old stone walls littering the way forward. All the way at the end was the Nevermore. It standing on a stone tower that was right over a very deep canyon. Right behind it was the cliff they would need to climb to finish their objective. They would have had an easy time killing the damn bird to. But thanks to the screaming from the Nevermore more Grimm showed up. That being a few packs of Beowolfs and Ursas.

"More in coming!"- Andrew yelled out as he pulled out Bozar once again. Both Ruby and Jaune looked at each other and knew exactly what their plan should be.

"Weiss, Yang, Blake. We're going to handle the Nevermore!"- Ruby yelled out getting her team together.

"We'll keep the rest of the Grimm of your back!"- Jaune yelled out now getting his team together. Everyone now knew what their job was and quickly began getting it done.

The Nevermore shoot out its feathers at the group forcing them to find cover. This allowed some of the Grimm to get by Jaune's team. "Pyrrha! Andrew! Get those Grimm off them!"-Jaune yelled to the two. Both Pyrrha and Andrew quickly killed the Grimm that was behind Ruby's team. With them in the clear and now fighting the Nevermore. Jaune's team didn't need to worry about cover that much now. This made the pink haired girl happy. Andrew finding out letter her name was Nora. Nora with a sadistic smile began to shoot off her grenades into big packs of Grimm. Ren then moved into kill off what was left.

The Grimm still closed in. Pyrrha and Jaune were right next to each other killing the Grimm that got close to them. Pyrrha doing most of the work. The group was finishing off the group of Grimm when even more showed up. Another off the Grimm being a Death Stalker.

"Another one!"- Andrew yelled out. Ren though somehow didn't see the Death Stalker and was hit by the thing into a stone wall.

"Nora! Keep Ren safe!"- Jaune said giving Nora an order she was more than happy to follow. This left Pyrrha, Jaune, and Andrew to deal with the new threats. "Andrew, you got anything that may help here?"- Jaune ask.

"I got something. Just stay behind me!"- Andrew yelled out to the two. The Grimm were a little off no. This left enough room for Andrew to let out Mercy. As Pyrrha and Jaune got behind him, Andrew went for his Pip-boy to find what he was looking for. Andrew pulled out a large dark brown grenade launcher. Written on it was 'Hei Goi Bye-Bye'.

Andrew made sure plasma grenades were loaded up and let loose onto the Grimm before him. In just a matter of seconds, the Grimm were wipe from the face of the Earth. Even the Death Stalker couldn't hold out long from the barrage of grenades hitting it.

When all was said and done all that was left was new large holes in the ground. The team just looked on happy that it was over. No more Grimm was coming their way so Jaune's team started to look to see if Ruby's team had finished their job.

"Wow!"- Was all Jaune said as everyone looked on to see Ruby cut off the head of the Nevermore. Andrew though just smiled.

'These kids are insane.'- Andrew thought.
