AN: Not much to announce really. I think I'll try to finish up initiation with this chapter or the next, still need to come up with a color related team name for the second team. Also so you guys know, I don't bother to proofread the beginning ANs after I finish, so it's more expectation based than the ending Ans. Also I've messed up a bit so I'll be focusing more on team SYAN these next few chapters, which only makes sense because I intended to focus on them more in the future anyway, this just speeds up when I was going to start. Slight mistake, not enough to re-upload the chapter but Weiss was supposed to say bird, not birdy.

'How is it that even with all my glyphs I still can't keep up with this girl…I mean I understand not being able to catch up to a flying Nevermore maybe, I mean its flying. And flying fast. Is this some unknown facet of her semblance!?' Weiss cursed energetic redheads under her breath and put even more power into her glyphs before realizing that the ancient Grimm was swinging around. "Finally, some luck." She muttered.

"Hey Weissy, the birdy's turning around! We need to go back that way!" Nora charged back South on the last word.

'I've never said nor even thought this before, but I think that I need to accept that there are some things I am just not capable of understanding.' With this hardly comforting thought in mind, she redoubled her efforts to catch the stupid bird.

Lamenting her cursed luck Weiss realized she was back at the temple, and now there were even people there. She decided to maybe do some recruiting, to get this far they'd clearly have had to be strong, as at first glance, they didn't seem to be in possession of a reality-shattering, bubbly bomber. Putting on her business face, she walked up to the nearest of the two, before realizing she'd seen him before.

Her business face cracked a little bit before she reasserted it. Maybe he wasn't as bad as she thought he was, to have made it this far. "I hope we aren't interrupting."

"We?" The second blonde, a busty brawler interjects, glancing around.

"Yes we." Then Weiss looks around and doesn't see the embodiment of insanity anywhere. 'Crap, they must think I'm crazy.' "Er…uh-"

"No judgements, we all had imaginary friends once." The dunce waves into the distance. "Hi Fred!"

"She's real! She just shows up sometimes…and then disappears randomly…" Her story starts making less sense to even her as she trails off. 'Did I just imagine her? But no she killed those Boarbatusks…right?'

"Totally real, sure." The brawler looks at the scraggly blonde, "Jaune, maaaybe we should just head back to the cliffs…I've heard the initiation sometimes breaks people's minds, we'll just tell a teacher about her so they can come pick her up."

"My mind isn't broken! She ran ahead of me!" Weiss screams indignantly. "She's somewhere around here…wait no she ran ahead after the birdy!" 'How did I forget about the Nevermore?'

"Yang I don't think she's wrong." Jaune (what an odd name, Weiss idly comments) takes a look at the circling Nevermore. "Your partner wouldn't happen to use a weapon that makes pink explosions would she?"

"See I told you I wasn't crazy! Let's go after the Nevermore!"

"Are you sure it's not a birdy?" Yang giggles, then gets an intense look. "Jaune do you think you can handle this level of combat? I mean the throwing sword trick is cool and all, but other than that you don't seem to have much range."

"We can't just let them go after a nevermore on their own! I came here to help people not to run away!"

"Alright let's go bag us a birdy!" Yang quips while Weiss shoots her a disgruntled look.

'Chasing after a Nevermore…I knew I'd be doing it at some point in this line of work…I just thought it'd be later…like when I had trained more than just some small sword and shield combos…' Jaune's musings were interrupted by the hail of feathers that popped up out of nowhere. He shrieks loudly and ducks behind his shield.

Yang blasts a feather out of the path she's running in and turns to the cowardly knight. "You okay there ladykiller?"

"I didn't know this was what you meant when you said die by feather." Jaune starts to try to calm down, realizing that freaking out now would guarantee him an early end to his hunter career…either by death or dismemberment.

Weiss interjects with, "I don't know about the two of you, but I don't want to be down a partner before initiation even ends! Yang, I want concentrated fire on the nevermore, try not to hit Nora. Jaune, I want you to cover me, I'm going to try to do something big."

"Okay how much dust do we have left…" Weiss checks her pouches and sword. "Just enough…I hope this works."

"That does not inspire confidence." Jaune deadpans.

"Shush you! And watch the feathers!" Jaune slides a bit right and holds his shield at an angle, one of the few techniques he had learned during his six-month crash course labelled 'Swords and Shields for Dummies.' A feather slams into it and he slides into Weiss. "Stop distracting me, I need concentration for this."

"Okay, Snow Angel." A bolt of lightning flies out of Weiss's rapier an instant later.

"Ice queen you need to aim better! You missed!" Yang shouted.

"NOSHEDIDNTHAHAHAHAFEARTHEWRATHOFYOURQUEENMONSTER!NORASMASH!"

"What in the world was that!?" Jaune screamed.

"Proof that I'm not crazy." Weiss said smugly. "It's not going to be enough though, Jaune I need you to boost Yang up with your shield, can you do that?"

"Uhhh…probably?" 'I hope Yang's not to heavy…not that I'm stupid enough to say so.'

"Good enough, Yang I saw part of your flight through the forest, I'm gonna need you to do it again."

"Okay Ice Queen."

"NORA!" Weiss shouted. "I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO OPEN ITS MOUTH AND POINT IT TOWARDS US!"

"ISITGETTINGITSDAILYDOSEOFPANCAKES!?"

"YEAH, IT'S GETTING ALL THE PANCAKES IT COULD EVER WANT!" Jaune started questioning even his own sanity at this point, before readying his shield.

"PANCAKEPOWER!" Nora yelled gleefully.

"Yang, I want you to remember, Grimm disintegrate on death."

"What? Why would I need to remember that?" Then an intricate, white circle showed up under her feet, pushing her forwards and onto Jaune's shield. Jaune, sensing this was his part put all of his strength into a rapid acceleration of his shield as a new circle appeared above him adding more power to him, and with a bright white flash, Yang was off.

"NORA NOW!" Weiss commanded.

Shooting blasts behind her Yang screeched up toward the Nevermore and the plan finally occurred to her. "YOU BITCHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed, even while her hair starts burning, facing down the gaping maw of the beast.

I would

Jaune could only speculate what happened in the belly of the beast before it exploded, but he didn't think it was particularly pleasant for either party.

AN: I hope this is better than last chapter, it's certainly longer and I feel better about it. Anyway, so Initiation concludes with a bang. I chuckled a bit when I imagined super saiyang (ha see what I did there) obliterating the Nevermore from the inside. I briefly thought about a comedic anticlimactic battle, just having Weiss shock Nora and Nora instantly demolish the Nevermore but I don't really like OP characters so I made it more of a team effort. And before anyone reviews and asks "How did Weiss know yang's semblance" she didn't, it was a happy accident.

To Warhaler: I would count that as extreme blonde-ness lol
