A/N:

Hello everyone I'm back with my last chapter for this month of RWBY:TFS, since my papers has been delivered to the company and I'm just awaiting their call which may be so sudden…

Either way, please note that RWBY timeline and Claymore timeline will be different.

So here is the break up:

Please note I merged the parts 1 and 2 here

RWBY: red trailer is convergence a few days or few hours after Teresa's death

RWBY: ep.1 is to during Clare's transformation to Claymore

Ep. 2 is to Clare's initiation

Ep. 3 is to Clare prior to meeting Raki (weakling)

Ep. 4-5 is to or after the awakened being hunt

Ep. 6 is the battle with Ophelia

So when we reach Juandice and Forever fall the next Claymore will appear and I have said this Claymore will be Irene so it will be on episode 7-8

And to those who said to make Jean appear on emerald forest sorry but she will appear early or mid Vol. 2 and the last will be Clare in early Vol. 3 and I may add the other Claymores maybe the ghosts or not along with Clare.

And with all that on to the chapter, oh and before I forget Teresa gave Ruby some lessons prior to the dust robbery. Which will be revealed on a special chapter or a separate story like an omake

And lastly sorry for the late update, my reason is because of my net was running at a snails pace, yes a snails pace, by 50 kb/s and when I checked at steam when downloading and even loading my yahoo mail needs to be refreshed about 5 times!

But either way on to the chapter, oh and a happy new year!

Ruby landed at the forest floor safely, now she was running with a single track in her mind,

'Gotta find Yang, Gotta find Yang' "Yaaaang!" she shouted as she continued to speed thought the forest.

"C'mon Ruby you made some friends, who else besides Yang?," Ruby said to herself as a bubble appeared out of nowhere "Well there's Jaune, but he doesn't scream fighter…" An Imaginary Jaune surrounded by Grimm appeared, "There's Pyrrha, she's nice and all but she's better off with Jaune," Pyrrha replace Jaune as she fought off numerous Grimm. "Blake? Quiet and mysterious… but she does seem nervous and I think I can't hold much conversation with her…" Blake then replaced Pyrrha as said girl moved away from a chatting Ruby… "Who else!?" then she appeared on a clearing and met someone with blue eyes "Weiss!"

"R-Ruby!?" Weiss exclaimed, "Don't do that!" then composed herself "I guess were partners then?"

"Hehe… yeah I guess" Ruby laughed as she rubbed her head.

"I guess we should head that way?" Weiss said pointing to a path

"Umm. I'm not sure that the right way… I mean if calculate it properly… we should head there" Ruby pointed the way opposite from Weiss "Huh? I-I mean of course we should go then."

"C'mon on lets go!" Ruby said excitedly as she grabbed Weiss hand but later stopped as she heard someone talking "Hey you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Weiss said, cheeks faintly red when Ruby grabbed her hand abruptly

"C'mon I think someone need help!"

"Ugh fine at least the more the merrier" Weiss said as the two girls neared the voice "huh? I guess your right, but the voice sounds familiar."

"C'mon, you stupid thing!" the voice, clearly a male, said aggravated

"Jaune!" Ruby yelled in surprise, as said blonde hanged in a tree a familiar spear held him in place

"Uhh… hey guys… hows it 'hanging'?" he joked, embarrassed, which the two girls laughed at his predicament, which also caused a small sneezing from a certain blonde girl surprising her quiet partner.

"Jaune?" another voice spoke "you all right?"

"Pyrrha!" Jaune exclaimed "umm… thanks by the way, now uhh can you let me down?"

"Sure!" as she jumped on a nearby branch and pulled Milo away from Jaune causing him to fall "Jaune!, I'm sorry!"

"Nah its fine just a small cut, oww"

Pyrrha, Ruby and Weiss noticed that the small cut wasn't healing "Jaune… why isn't your Aura healing you?"

"Aura?"

"You don't know what an Aura is!" Weiss exclaimed

"What!? yeah of course I do know what an Aura is" Jaune said

"Which means you don't…" Weiss deadpans, which Ruby sniggered

"Ohh who am I kidding…" Jaune said dejectedly "I don't know what an Aura is… heck I haven't even unlocked it!"

"Ohh don't be like that! Jaune! I mean Teresa started not having Aura and she can fight!" Ruby exclaimed "maybe you can get help from her, like me!"

"What? Really?"

"Yeah shes really nice"

"Also you got Pyrrha with you so its a win-win right?"

Pyrrha smiled at Ruby's enthusiasm "I would like to help you, that's what partners are for"

Jaune blushed in embarrassment as he replied "Ohh, you guys! Thanks!" then he looked around the forest as he scratch his head "Any idea where to go?"

"I think the temple is that way?" Ruby suggested as she pointed at a random direction. As her partner sighed in defeat.

"Umm sure?" Pyrrha said also unsure of the direction

"Or maybe the treasure is in that cave!" Jaune suddenly said as he pointed at the cave opening

"Uhh… I don't think so…" Ruby said which three pairs of eyes looked at her for answers "I mean it can't be in a cave right? Also there's something inside, something dark."

"Something dark? Like Grimm?"

"Yeah something like that but different… Teresa taught me before that Dust robbery happened, she taught me how to somehow feel things around me like she does… but I'm still getting a hang of it anyway?"

"She taught you… on how to detect Grimm?" Weiss said

"Yeah like how their own version of Aura can be felt" Ruby said as the group walked away from the cave. "Well it started after I visited… uh… well somehow I kinda felt them coming back then on Patch when I go out in the forest…"

"I see…" Weiss said sounding not convinced

"But Grimm with Aura? T-that's impossible!" Pyrrha exclaimed

"No not that Aura" Ruby said

"Oh you mean like those silly cartoons which the characters mood change, or like those strange flashing stars on them?" Jaune joined in which he later smiled sheepishly

"Yeah like that aura!" Ruby exclaimed, then the group heard some fighting and some sounds that were familiar with Ruby "Hey that's Yang!" the girl exclaimed as she led the rest on a clearing near the temple.

"Ruby!" Weiss yelled as said person grabbed her by the arms as they sped to the sound of fighting

Back at the cliff the three professors looked on as the initiation progressed,

"Ozpin, the last partners has been made, Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie, honestly I feel sorry for the boy." Glynda said

Ozpin said nothing as he continued on watching a certain group heading to the temple, how odd that miss Rose was able to detect such things… indeed this year will be interesting, he mused then he spoke towards the third spectator "Teresa, how did you taught miss Rose to detect Grimm, since Grimm do not have souls therefore they do not posses Aura."

Teresa remained watching the forest as she spoke "Indeed these creatures do not have souls, but they still exhume (A/N: the word is in my tongue but can't grasp it…) in a sense their version of aura, for example what do you feel if being next to a person to be gloomy all the time? Would you feel thta person's 'aura'? in truth, the Grimm felt like something I sense before coming here. But Ruby was able to feel them even before I helped her."

Ozpin's and Glynda's eyes widen at this information and widened some more as Teresa unsheath her claymore and prepared to jumped into the forest

"Teresa, what are you doing?" Ozpin said

"You do know we can't intervene this initiation correct?" Glynda added

"I know but sadly this initiation will be a bloodbath if I can't get rid of this problem soon, how it manage to hide its presence from me is commendable but not good enough, it could have used the Grimm as cover." Teresa spoke the last one to herself

"Excuse but 'It'?" Glynda questioned

"A monster in a form of a human, an awakened being, and I know who…" with that Teresa leaped off the cliff leaving the two professors in shock

Back in the cave after the four hunters and huntress in training left something stirred, something monstrous, and it is hungry…

"I ssssmell fresssh Gutsss" the thing Hissed as it moved out of the cave, it had feed on these black creatures, but it never satisfied its hunger it wanted more, it wanted the sweet guts of those younglings if its hearing heard it right. But now it is time to feast and those black creatures will not stop it.

Not only that it wanted that scent among the group, that smell like her…

A/N:

And done hope you all enjoyed this chapter and yes the last one is an awakened being so the next episode will be where the group will be exposed to a new monster, that will test them all, and sadly for me it will be a battle in which I suck… either way the being has a history with Teresa… you can try guessing, I give you a hint, a leaf or some spice you put when you cook chicken…

Review or pm me you suggestions as I also plan to put some awakened beings that were dead before Clare's time of course if I can…

For now I will try to manage my time in the future and hope I could update soon.
