Okay this had to be explained a little, yes the story runs parallel to the RWBY story but no there will be little to no interaction between the two teams. RWBY might be in the background everyone in a while but nothing big this story is mainly OC driven

Partners

Flying through the air with the breeze on her face and her long brown hair flapping in the wind Taylor couldn't be anymore happy then she already was. She had a smile on her face and her eyes closed. They flashed open, now with a serious look on her face, she drew out her sword and waited for the right moment to change velocity she cleared the heavy brush of leaves of the forest and suddenly changed course to the left and stabbed her sword into a tree to stop her movement.

She pulled her sword out of the tree and jumped down to the ground below she hadn't thought of what to do right away. Either head to the ruins that Ozpin talked about and grab one of the pieces or find a partner. She wondered about the guy in the gold cloak. She had seen him before but she couldn't remember where or when. She could just tell by looking at him he was strong, but cruel. She decided it would be best to avoid him for now on.

Taylor decided to head to the ruins to grab her piece hopping to find a partner on the way. She could hear gun fire in the distance and decided it was best to keep her sword unsheathed as she traveled.

After a few hundred meters Taylor suddenly had a feeling she was being watched. She didn't know by who or what but she knew deep down something or one was keeping an eye on her.

Taylor sprinted forward and jumped changing her velocity so she was suddenly flying backwards, slicing her sword at what ever it was and stopped right before finishing off her tracker.

At the end of the blade was a small squirrel just staring at her. Taylor face palmed her self 'Well great go ahead and embarrass yourself in front of Ozpin.' who was no doubt watching them all.

Taylor then heard the screech of a Beowolf as a whole pack of them had surrounded her she smiled 'Ah there you are.'

Taylor sliced at the first one then changed velocity striking the next three in an instant a fifth one had charged her knocking her over causing her to tumble she recovered quickly. The one that knocked her over kept running at her she stood ready waiting for the right moment.

The Beowolf got within striking distance, Taylor side stepped cutting its head clean off and sheathed her sword knowing it was the last one. She closed her eyes and let out a breath of air she had built up over the course of the fight.

Taylor opened her eyes and began to head north again.


Gold had been the first to reach the ground and was happy about it after he jumped off his make shift ice path, created by his arrows and landing on one of the tree branches, he grabbed his bow and notched an arrow looking at the surrounding area making sure everything was clear. He saw no immediate danger and turned to look at the sky to evaluate how everyone had landed but the only thing he noticed was a flash of red heading toward him he jumped off the tree and landed on the next

Some girl completely dressed in red and black had used a huge scythe and twirled around the branch of the tree she landed and took off running. Gold decided to follower her and see what she did.

The girl in red quickly partnered up with a girl in white after leaving some blonde guy hanging in a tree. The two argued a lot then the girl in red disappeared in a flurry of roses leaving the girl in white alone.

She was soon surrounded by Beowolf's. And prepared her self getting in a stance to attack. Gold read he emotion and could tell she wasn't confident in her stance. White then lunged at the Beowolf in front of her, but red suddenly reappeared again striking it down. White almost stabbed red in the back but launched her sword toward the tree causing it to burst into flames the two were not working well together.

They took off heading into the forest planning on escaping with their lives, but Gold had a different plan. Hiding in the shadows of the tree he was in, he notched an arrow on his bow and tapped the arrow with his ring finger. He heard the zap of electricity and knew it was ready he aimed it at the two girls running away thinking 'A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link, and they are it's weakest link.' Gold let the arrow fly toward the two girls but at the last second a Beowolf jumped out at the them they dodged out of its way and the arrow hit the wolf straight between the eyes electrifying it and killing it.

Gold stood up on the branch dissapointed as the two girl looked in his direction 'So fate has deemed you to live for another day, I hope it made a wise choice.' Gold turned and dashed from the tree and started heading north.

He was now at the edge of the clearing no pieces had been taken yet, he was waiting he didn't know if the Grimm or any other students had set a trap or planned to kill first and ask questions later, he sat crouched in the bush when he heard a woosh of wind the bush move and the Faunus girl sat next to him. Gold pulled out his bow notched the arrow and was ready. The Faunus grabbed the bow and pushed it aside "Calm down, same team. We are partners now." Gold stared at her for a minute reading her like an open book. She was scared or nervous of him again he couldn't tell exactly.

He gripped his bow tight and yanked it away from her putting it back on his back "We'll see about that." He snapped at her. The two surveyed the area their target out in the open for them to grab. Gold was starting to think of a plan when Taylor spoke "I'm Taylor by the way, in case you were wondering." Gold just ignored her and continued to think "How about you? What's your name." Gold turned to stare at her. She was figity now she didn't want him to be mad at her "Just keep an eye out, and don't get attached to." He looked back at the clearing.

Taylor's confidence had now dropped to an all time low 'So much for making a new life, he's just like every other whitefang higher up.' "Get ready to move." He spoke jolting Taylor back to reality. The two began to walk across the field getting close to the ruins.

When they finally reached it they looked at what they had come to collect. Taylor thought it was odd that Ozpin sent them to collect a Chess piece as the relic. Gold on the other hand just shook his head pinching the middle of his nose with his fingers 'Typical Ozpin sent us out here for nothing yet again.'

Gold walked over and grabbed a black queen piece "Let's go before anyone else shows up." He put it in his satchel at his waist that was hidden by the gold cloak.

The two took off back toward the cliff they had started at.

This is the second thing I wanted to point out, I don't know why or what it is about Gold but he is so fun to write I like him so much he was the First OC I thought of and now I can't get him out of my head.
