Hey everyone, and before you say it (or think it (I know you are doing it right now)) yes I'm not dead just being slowly killed (or driven mad) by good old school work so it's taking a while … plus I'm a lazy. But on to more important issues don't worry an old power chapter should be coming soon (hopefully) so why don't you sit back and enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 6
"Will you get off me" demanded Weiss as she finally pushed ruby off before getting herself up and dusted herself off.
"By dust, what is wrong with you … a-and what in Oum's name are you wearing there" exclaimed Wiess as she saw what her "partner" was wearing … or what there is lack of.
"H-Hey, I can explain" quickly replied Ruby, as she began to revert back into her normal clothes, hoping not to lose her partner already. "Oh, I hope you can young lady" said Weiss
As Ruby and Wiess began to argue with each other Jaune began to silently observe Ruby's new partner.
"Hmm, from the look of that rapier of hers she must be a melee user, thou she does have some of that … that … come on Jaune what was that weird crystal stuff Ruby told you about, think Jaune think … … … D-Dust! That was it. Yeah she also has some of that dust stuff in rapier as well, so she must be some kind of dust user than" mulled Jaune before Ruby broke his train of thought.
"Oum! Why do you have to-to be such a huge mean jerk" demanded Ruby, now frustrated with Weiss's meanness.
"Really, big mean jerk. That only strengths my previous statement that still a child" responded Weiss.
Just as ruby was about to respond back Jaune immediately interjected, "Enough, look I understand that you may not like each other, but right now let's just try to focus on passing the initiation first, please" interjected Jaune. Only for a few moments later to realized that Wiess had just heard him, a sentient piece clothing, speak.
…
…
…
"Ughh … I-I can explain" said ruby as fumbled around, trying to come up with an answer. Only for Weiss to open her mouth and uttered a single word.
"How" whispered Weiss, as her hands balled into a fist, "How … how can you make your kamui talk" demanded Weiss as her face was overshadowed by her hair
"Y-You mean Jaune? I mean Jaune has always been able to talk with others ever since I met really" answered Ruby before continuing "... and besides, I think the better question is why do you not tell us that you were a kamui user" exclaimed Ruby, pointing her finger dramatically at Weiss.
Just as Wiess was about to respond a low growl could be heard from the nearby foliage as a pack of beowolfs emerged, most likely attracted to the negative emotions the two huntresses were emitting.
"Drat, looks like our argument brought us some unwanted attention" muttered Weiss as she drew out her weapon.
"But what about our kamui talk" asked ruby as brought crescent rose to bear.
"Your still on the subject" exclaimed Wiess as she gave an annoyed huff. "Look, IF we survive the initiation and pass it I MAY consider talking about my kamui, but until then zip it, is that a satisfactory deal to you."
"No … not really" replied ruby … "But considering the situation were in I'll guess I take it" quickly answered ruby while avoiding Weiss's icy glare.
"Good" curtly replied Weiss before she drew her rapier upwards and created a few glyphs that soon began to lunch multiple ice shards at the nearby Grimm. Afterwards ruby immediately transformed crescent rose into its sniper form before launching a volley of rounds into some approaching Grimm.
She than transformed crescent rose back into its scythe form before throwing herself towards the Grimm pack and began to hack against the beast of darkness. With the support of Weiss the two huntresses quickly made short work of the remaining Grimm.
A FEW MINUTES LATER
"~Wheww~, nice work there kamui buddy" complemented ruby.
"Umm, thanks?" responded Weiss as she dusted some dust off of her jacket. "Well, I guess we should be going than. Well, come on lets get going" said Weiss as she headed off … only to reach a few meters before ruby tapped her on the shoulder.
"Umm, Wiess, the ruins are that way" explained ruby as she pointed to the opposite direction of where Wiess was going.
…
…
…
"I-I knew that, I was just testing you" responded Weiss as she turned around.
"Sure" responded ruby as she and her new partner headed off towards the ruins.
IN ANOTHER PART OF THE FOREST
"You know, we would have gotten to ruins faster if we went with the Nora-mobile" said Yang as she and Blake finally reached the ruins.
"Yeah … no, and from what I've heard form Ren about the previous Nora-mobile, I'll like to keep my breakfast thank you very much" replied Blake.
"Hmph, oh your just a spoil sport aren't you" spoke Yang as she crossed her arms in disappointment and with Nora agreeing with her.
"Mmm Hmm" responded Blake rolling her eyes as they finally reached the ruins and on the steps of ruins where a few chess pieces laid about.
"I guess those must be the relics than" said Yang as she stepped up and garbed the knight piece "I think I'll take this cute little horsey."
Blake shrugged her shoulders before responding "Whatever you say yang. Anyway I guess we should be heading back now Y-"before being cut off by some noise coming from the bushed. Blake immediately grabbed gambol shroud, ready to face whatever comes out of the shrubbery … only for her to face a rather annoyed Weiss.
A few moments later ruby immediately appeared next to Weiss before running up to Blake & Yang.
"Guys! You two won't believe it but Weiss here is actually an kamui user like us" exclaimed ruby, surprising the others two kamui users.
...
"Wait, don't tell me you two are kamui users as well" asked Weiss before Blake and Yang gave nod back, "… I see, well on to other topics. There wouldn't be any spare relics behind you" asked Weiss.
"Huh, Oh! Yeah there's one more, here catch, it's the last one mind you" replied Yang as she tossed the last relic towards Wiess.
"Thank you" replied Wiess before she tucked the relic away.
"Well, with that over I guess we should head back to the cliff's than" said Weiss as she motioned the rest to follow her … only to be stopped via Yang's iron grip.
"Whoa, slow down their snow angle" said Yang, only to receive a glare from Weiss.
"Don't call me that" demanded Weiss "… and besides, will you please unhand me immediately."
"Sorry snow angle but I guess you can say I'm a bit curious about your kamui" explained Yang.
"Are you really going to stop us from completing the initiation just because you're interested in my kamui" asked Weiss with a bit of disbelief.
"Yep" chirped Yang in response as she waited for Wiess's response. Growling under her breath a few moments passed before she gave in, seeing that this Yang person was definitely a stubborn one as well as being mentally exhausted form today as well.
"Fine, if you are truly that interested in my kamui I'll tell you than. ~deep breath~, If you must know my kamui's name is Pyrrha and before you ask, Pyrrha here can transform her shape so she is currently my clothes. Besides that, Pyrrha is a rather quiet person, so don't expect hearing much from her and don't think I'll force her to talk either, I respect her privacy thank you very much" explained Weiss.
"There, are you happy now" asked Weiss to Yang.
"Mmm, hmm" hummed Yang in response, "See, that wasn't too hard snow angle. Well with that that over I guess we should be continuing our trek than" added Yang.
"Hmph, good" replied Weiss curtly as the four huntresses began their trek back.
LATER
As the four huntress & their kamui began to trek back to the cliffs Ren noticed that Nora seemed rather focused on the sky for some reason, as if she was looking at something. Curious, Ren decided to ask Nora about what caught her attention.
"Nora, what's the matter you seemed rather focused on the sky" asked Ren.
Nora merely muttered "Look up" in response to Ren's question.
Seeing that his child-hood friend would not explain anymore Ren decided to look up and after a few minutes realized what Nora was looking at.
In the sky, there was a black blur circling around the forest, to civilians this was probably just a black bird and would quickly dismiss it. However, to the eyes of experienced soldier or huntsmen one could see specks of red & white on the black blur which meant one thing … Grimm, specifically a Nevermore.
"A nevermore, and from the looks of it must be an adult ..." thought Ren grimly. " … However, it seems that it hasn't notice us, if we can enter the forest than we could be safe from its sight."
However, Ren's wishful thinking was for not as a piercing screech soon erupted from the sky moments later.
The four huntresses didn't need to commune with each other's as they instantly began making space from their previous location that was soon riddled with multiple black feathers.
"Quick, everyone head to forest, were open targets for the nevermore "commanded Ruby before the huntress sprinted towards the forest.
Once the huntress were in the trees it soon became apparent that Ruby's snap decision was a wise one as the multiple feathers rained down from the sky but none could hit their intended target.
...
"Well … what now fearless leader" asked Nora as she looked at ruby for an answer.
"Umm, I honestly didn't think that far" replied ruby sheepish as she shrugged her shoulders.
"~sigh~, Well that's comforting. But still, as long as that nevermore is alive there's no way we can get back to the cliffs" commented Weiss as the heiress began to formulate a plan to get them out of this mess before Yang gave a loud snort.
"Don't fret over this snow angel, why don't you leave this to me and Nora, were far more suited to take down that giant turkey" explained Yang.
"Oh, and why so" demanded Weiss before the blonde brawler gave her a cheeky grin.
"Just watch me ice-queen" replied Yang. Before Weiss could further ask Yang said huntress jumped off from her branch before charging into to clearing, ignoring the rest of teammates cries.
"You ready Nora" asked Yang as the two reached closer to the clearing, "Heh, do you really need to ask Yang, besides I think it's time for us to stretch my wings" replied Nora as the two soon reached the clearing where the nevermore was still circling above.
Yang immediately dug her hand into her pocket before pulling out an odd-looking glove, she then proceeded to the put the glove on before grabbing the pin on the side before pulling it.
In an instant hundreds of life fibers exploded from Nora before encasing Yang for a few moments before receding to reveal Yang's new form.
"Alright you over grown turkey I think you had a little too much free time and what I think you need is some good old Yang time" declared Yang before her wings burst into action, propelling Yang right towards the nevermore.
BACK AT THE CLIFFS
"Ughh, why must those kamui take such a lewd form when they transform" demanded Glynda aloud to herself.
"Who knows Glynda who knows … but at least we now know more about these kamui and from the look of it some of them seem to be capable of sustained flight" responded Ozpin.
"I … guess that is one good thing to come out of this" said Glynda as she and Ozpin watch miss Xiao-long continue to chase the nevermore while avoiding the feathers the nevermore was launching at the blonde brawler.
…
"You know, I do wonder how Miss Xiao-long will react when she learns what the rest of teammates is currently fighting" mused Ozpin as swiped his scroll to reveal the rest of the girls currently fighting a death stalker of all things.
The death stalker had heard the previously heard the nevermore's cry of assistant and was traveling to her the nevermore, however, it seems that Miss Belladonna was able to discover the Grimm as it came to assist. Now the girls were trying to pierce the death stalker's carapace, however, progress was rather slow for the huntress.
"I wonder how the team RWBY will overcome this obstacle" further mused Ozpin as he took a sip form his mug.
"So team RWBY is the final name them" asked Glynda.
"Yes, and the person in charge of the team shall be –"
BACK WITH TEAM RWBY
"Ruby! Duck" shouted Jaune as ruby immediately threw herself onto the ground to avoid the incoming pincer.
The death stalker was then about to bring the same claw back towards ruby, but before it could bring back it's claw a glyph appeared near its eyes. The glyph immediately detonated causing a bright light to appear as a furry of unrelenting elements tore into the Grimm's carapace, causing a torrent to pain to fill the beast. The death stalker gave a piercing screech as it brought its pincers upward to cover its face as it began to trash around wildly.
As this was happening ruby soon felt something wrap around her waist before she pulled up onto a nearby tree branch. "You okay their ruby" asked Ren as he & Blake leap from the branches above.
"Y-Yeah, just give me a few moments and I'll be fine" replied Ruby.
"I don't think we have a few moments ruby, it's taking too much energy for Weiss to keep the death stalker pre-occupied" analyzed Blake as the two huntresses saw how the heiress was beginning to grow weary as she keeps the death stalker at bay.
"… I don't understand, why isn't Weiss using her kamui form" asked Jaune aloud, "Who knows Jaune, but right now we to help my partner first" replied ruby as she reached for her gantlet.
But before she could pull the pin Blake grabbed her hand. "Ruby … let me do this, you and Weiss have already pushed yourself for today. Let me and Ren handle this, don't push yourself more than you need to" stated Blake.
Ruby wanted to argue with Blake but she could not deny that she and Wiess weren't looking so good and uncle Qrow always told her that one should never try to push themselves or else would wind up dead earlier.
"… Fine … but, just be okay Blake" replied Ruby.
Blake merely gave a small smile before leaping off the branch and onto the ground. The cat Faunus slowly walked up to the death stalker and as she did she slowly reached into her pockets as she pulled out a dark green glove with pink highlights on it.
"Ren … you ready for some action" asked Blake as she slowly placed the glove on. "Hmph, I could definitely go for some action, haven't got any recently" answered Ren.
"Good" replied Blake as she pulled the pin on her glove.
In an instant Ren's previous form exploded as multiple life fibers began wrap around the huntress before encasing her for a few minutes before unwinding and becoming part of Ren's new form.
The overall the design looked similar to that of Jaune's transformed state but with some key differences. The edges of the form were lined up with multiple dark green razor edges as well as the wing shaped crest on the chest was now an X shaped crest instead. The new form also gave Blake a wilder look to her as on her head was a small lotus leaf shaped hair pin. The new form was in a dark green color with neon pink highlights on the edges as well. (For those who still don't know what she would look like just look up kill la kill Senketsu Senjin, its kind of like that)
"No fair, why do Ren & Nora have such cool looks" complained Ruby before she realized what she had just said, only for her to see Jaune sitting next to her with a small rain cloud over his head muttering that he was cool looking to.
"J-Jaune, get back on me" demanded Ruby when she realized where Jaune was not at.
"~sigh~, dust dammit ruby" muttered Weiss as she closed her eyes as well as pinch her nose in response to ruby's current predicament.
"Should we do something about that" asked Blake as she saw ruby apologizing to Jaune while trying to put him back on.
"Mmm, why don't we focus on the death stalker instead, it seems that it's starting to get its bearings back" reasoned Ren,
"Fair enough" responded Blake as the two turned their attention back to the death stalker.
The death stalker turned its remaining eyes towards the huntress in front of it as it brought its stinger up into to air before launching it straight into the huntress body, easily piercing through the flesh … or what should have been flesh as the body itself began crumple right before its eyes.
The death stalker immediately felt some weight on one of its pincers, turning its remaining eyes, the Grimm soon saw said huntress sitting one its pincer. Before the Grimm could strike at Blake she quickly brought gambol shroud upward and, with the increased strength from Ren as well as infusing aura into her arms, swung it downward, ripping through the flesh and bone connecting the pincer to the rest of the body causing a torrent of black ichor to burst form the wound.
The death stalker gave a piercing scream as it began to violently assault the raven-haired huntress in its blind rage. However, the Grimm's prey ducked and weaved through each assault with unnatural speed/grace bringing frustration to the rage fueled beast.
The huntress also made multiple cut/slashes onto its carapace with the dark green blades lined on her body. Eventually the death stalker saw its prey begin to slow down before making distance between them, the Grimm gave a piercing screech as it blindly charged at its prey, completely ignoring the glyphs that appeared on the ground.
The death stalker was only a few meters away from its prey before it heard a loud cackle as it soon felt a torrent of pain as the beast saw its other pincer blown from its body. The Grimm didn't have time to respond to the pain as the ground beneath it glowed brightly and death stalker felt a word of pain before everything went dark.
…
…
…
"So, is it dead" asked Jaune aloud breaking the silence.
"Yeah, there's no way the death stalker could have survived that" replied ruby as the rest saw the body begin to slowly dissipate into the air.
"… Good … but there aren't going to be anymore death stalkers coming are there" asked Jaune. "No death stalkers are a solitary species as well as highly territorial so it's highly unlikely that there will be anymore in the forest" answered Weiss as she and ruby leap off the branches.
Eventually the two huntresses met up to Blake to check on her as well as congratulate her.
"That was quite an interesting display of skill there Blake but I do implore you give us some forewarning when you want us to do something similar in the future" said Weiss.
"Yeah, sorry about that, I'll keep that in mind next W- "replied Blake before ruby practically appeared right in front of her before launching an endless stream of questions at the poor Faunus. It was till Wiess finally pulled Ruby back that Blake could get some respite from the onslaught of questions.
"Ruby, mind your manners young lady, couldn't you see that were clearly making Blake uncomfortable" chided Weiss as she unhanded ruby.
"Oh, umm, sorry about that. I guess I got a little too excited there, I mean it isn't every day that you such beautiful blades like that" replied Ruby with slight embarrassment as looked at the blade on Ren's form with awe.
"That's fair enough I guess … and thank for the compliment?" replied Blake.
"You know that does raise the question, doesn't that form make you … uncomfortable or something" asked Weiss in curiosity.
"To be honest … not really, Ren can easily retract the blades as well as make them dull if needed, so that aren't really a hassle Weiss" explained Blake.
"Huh, I see" replied Weiss, satisfied with the answer.
Eventually the silence once again returned for a few minutes until Ren opened his mouth. "Hey, do you think Yang and Nora are okay with that nevermore, it has been a while since we heard anything."
As the three girls were about to open their mouths a loud boom could be heard coming from the nearby temple.
"I feel like that answers your question there Ren" responded Jaune as three huntresses went towards the source of the noise where they saw the remains of the nevermore on top of the remains of the temple and Yang, a few meters above the nevermore's corpse, slowly float downwards until she finally reunited with her team.
"~deep breath~. Hey, how are you three doing girls" asked Yang between breaths.
"You okay their Yang" asked Ruby in concern.
"Pfft, please I'm totally fine little sis, just a little tired. But I gotta say that nevermore was a real pain in the ass I tell you" replied Yang with Nora humming in agreement.
"Normally I would like to ask how three are doing, judging by your and that includes you to Blake but right now I just want to pass this damm initiation first" said Yang as she began to walk towards the cliffs.
"Umm, shouldn't you and Blake un-transform or something" asked Weiss. "I do it we get out of this forest, don't be such a worry wort Weiss-cream. But also, nice look there partner I gotta say you really doing swell in all the right places " nonchalantly replied Yang, ignoring the icy glare directed at her by said Weiss-cream and partner.
"~sigh~, this … this isn't the last of this isn't it" replied Jaune in a deadpanned tone as he and ruby watched the 'banter' between WBY members of RWBY.
"No … no it isn't" replied Ruby in the same tone as the four huntresses began their trek back to the cliffs.
And that is a wrap folks, so once again before we end the chapter sorry it took so long to make the chapter. Now with that out of the way just to tell any Old power readers there don't worry I'll be posting the next chapter soon (just need to reach the pencil (don't judge, pens and I don't have a good relationship)) and once that chapter is posted will be back cloth and scythe.
…
…
…
OH!, and for those who might wondering about the Yang vs Nevermore battle don't worry I go into it a bit more in the next chapter, but besides that now that team RWBY is in beacon I be now working on the relationship (no not that way, trust me I knew you were thinking about it don't try to lie) part now (hopefully I don't mess up too badly) that team RWBY is formed as well as get more into the back story of JNPR (hopefully don't mess up either).
So yeah that should be pretty much it, I hope you like the chapter and if have some constructive criticism place a review and help make the story slowly less bad.
