"Wake up" Blake said kicking Evan in order to wake him up faster considering it was now 10 and they needed to be at the cliff by 12 for initiation.

"I'm up! I'm up." Evan almost yelled in response to being kicked in the gut. "The fuck was that for?" Evan asked after recovering.

"It's 10 and we need to eat" Blake said rather bluntly trying to speed the now ex-mercenary up.

"Fine but they better have some bacon left" Evan said standing up and following Blake to the cafeteria.

Breakfast was simple enough with no sightings of Yang or anyone from his past which made Evan relax enough to enjoy the meal. After they had eaten they preceded to walk to the locker room to gear up and get ready for the initiation. Just before they could leave they saw Yang and Ruby talking in the hallway with Ruby hugging her Scythe dubbed "Crescent Rose" while Yang just stood there with her hands on her hips no doubt trying to get Ruby to branch out and meet new people. Instantly stiffening the moment he saw her Blake noticed this and decided to ask a few questions of her own.

"You know those two?" Blake said nodding towards the two sisters.

"Yeah I do...:" was all Evan could say before Yang looked over to them smiled and waved.

Before he could do anything Blake sighed and started dragging Evan away before the encounter took a turn for the worst. Upon seeing this Yang's smile quickly left her face "What's wrong Yang?" Ruby asked seeing the look on Yang's face.

"Nothing Ruby let's just get to the cliff" Yang said trying to get the thought out of her head.

"For years you have trained to become warriors in to today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald forest." Ozpin said to the group of students all standing in a line on top of small stone pads.

"Now I'm sure many of you heard rumors about the assessment of teams, well allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates today" Glyda said following up on what Ozpin had said.

Teams? Nobody said anything about teams. Evan thought to himself

"these teammates will be with you for the rest of your time at Beacon, so it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well..." Ozpin said.

"...That being said the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years." Ozpin continued.

The fuck is going on in this school? Evan thought when hearing this news.

"After you partnered up make it your way to northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way do not hesitate to destroy everything in you path or you will die. You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your our instructors will not intervene, you will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff we guard that item as well as your standing and grade you appropriately, are there any questions." Ozpin said.

"Yeah um sir?" Some blonde kid tried to say.

"Good now take your positions" Ozpin said not having any of this kid's crap.

Hearing two clicks underneath the pad Evan was standing on he knew what was coming. Being sent almost a hundred meters Evan drew Rainfall and positioned his body so the blade will act like a hook.

His plan worked perfectly the moment his arm-sword-hook thing reached a branch he spun around the branch until he slowed down and jumped down landing with a roll.

Evan had an uneventful trip running north towards the objective this wasn't his first retrieval mission and it won't be his last. Reaching a clearing he looked around before something ran into him from behind.

Turning around with rainfall ready to kill he was meet with the blonde from last night nto Yang but the other one what was her name oh right Amber.

"You right there?" Amber asked looking at the blade just inches away from her neck.

"Just peachy" Evan relied pulling Rainfall away from the girl.

"Well then looks like we're partners than" Amber said with a smile.

"I can work with that" Evan said.

Looking at the apparel of Amber she was wearing a black sleeveless trench coat that went down to her ankles. Along with black jeans that stuck close to her legs and a amber sash around her waist with a belt with dust rounds on it over the sash. What was most interesting was her weapon it was a bass guitar that looked like it could turn into an axe and a shotgun judging by the barrel sticking out of the head. She still had her hair covering her left eye and heavy eyeliner on her exposed eye.

"We got to move" Amber said walking past Evan and towards some ruins in the middle of the clearing. Looking over the what they assumed was the forest temple they saw the relics that were chess pieces. Looking over the amount of relics they could tell they were the first ones to reach them.

"How about the black knight?" Evan said grabbing the horse shaped relic.

"sur-" Amber went to say before she was cut off.

"Your an idiot Coral!" came from behind them.

"It wasn't my fault!" another voice yelled.

Just after that was said two girls came running from trees. Evan recognized the as the two twins from yesterday that Evan was hitting on. Ciel and Coral came running over to them before stopping just in front of them.

"Sup" Amber said raising her hand to wave.

"Hi" Coral said.

"Greetings" Ciel said.

"I believe we've met" Evan said to the twins.

"This is great and all but we may have a Grimm chasing us." Coral said

Slapping the back of her sister's head "We don't need their help" Ciel said.

"Anyway we need to get a relic and get back" Ciel added.

"How about a horse" Coral said holding up the black knight.

Just as Ciel opened her mouth to correct her sister a very large Grimm that resembles lizard burst through the trees. "We need to move now!" Evan said to the three girls "Agreed" Ciel said with a nod. The group started running towards the cliffs to get back and get accepted into Beacon.

After running for awhile with the Grimm on their tails they reached the cliffs only to be meet with with a canyon. "Well shit…" Evan said looking down the canyon.]

"Come on guys we can beat it" Amber said taking her bass off her back.

"What the plan?" Ciel said drawing her Cutlass with a shotgun on the back of the blade that she called 'Midnight Slash'.

"Just tell us what to do" Coral added taking out her dual magnums with a large blade under the barrels that was dubbed 'Midnight Boom'.

"Where do you need me?" Evan said drawing Rainfall and turning it into its rifle form.

"The legs" was all Amber said before running at the lizard with the others not far behind her. They slashed at the legs just barely doing any damage to the beast until it simply hit them with its tail.

"This isn't working" Evan said getting up from the last blow.

"We need it on its back" Ciel said helping her sister up.

"Evan and Ciel get under it's head and distract it while Coral you use the most explosive rounds you got to knock it over. Got it?" Amber said to the others.

"What about you?" Evan said

"Don't worry about me" Amber replied

Doing as their told Evan and Ciel run under it's head slashing at its lower jaw in order distract it. then a defining boom shook the ground throwing the lizard Grimm over onto its back. Jumping back Evan and Ciel caught a glimpse of Amber almost teleport twenty meters into the air before positioning herself to bring her axe down on its neck.

Slamming down on the Grimm's neck decapitating it instantly Amber got up then looked at the others with a questioning look then asking "Was that cool or what?".

"That was bad ass" Evan said giving a thumbs up.

"Amber Sae, Ciel Cross, Coral Cross and Evan Bistre. You all collected the Black Knight piece because of this you will be know as team ACCE for the remainder of your time here led by Amber Sae" Ozpin said before moving to team CRDL.

Walking off stage Evan gave a fist bump to everyone with Ciel almost not taking it. Noticing that almost every female member of the crowd was eyeing Evan "Seams you have a few fans Evan" Amber said.

"It would appear so" Evan said giving a wink to the crowd driving them almost crazy.

Since team ACCE, RWBY and JNPR shared the last hallway meaning that they were the furthest away from class but the did have the whole hallway to themselves so they didn't complain.

Walking into their dorm they couldn't but notice the lack of privacy they have against each other.

"Sharing the are we?" Evan said throwing his duffle bag onto the furthest bed.

"It would appear so" Ciel said sitting down on the bed closest to the door.

"I don't see the problem" Amber said taking the bed closest to Evan who has started hanging something up on the wall. "What's that?" Coral asked Evan drawing the team's attention to him.

"One of the only ways I'm going to stay sane" Evan said taking a step back admiring his work revealing a dart board. Walking over to the other wall he spun around and threw a knife at it just missing the bulls-eye but creating a very loud bang which caused team RWBY to yell from the other room. "What was that?" Someone yelled from RWBY's room.

"Um it was a knife" Evan yelled back.

"Why would yo-" The voice started.

"Weiss its Evan, soon we'll start hearing heavy metal then we'll start smelling some questionable things" The voice known as Yang cut her off.

AN: Holy crap this took me awhile to write this chapter, also thanks to the Guest that wrote the review (you know who you are)
