RWBY- The origins of team MERK

Chapter 8

Michael feels a gentle finger scratching the back of his left rabbit ear "Wow, good morning to you to" Elesa giggles and Michaels eyes open suddenly due to the unexpected surprise. He continues to lie down as she scratches the back of his ear "Please stop, before I fall into a really deep sleep. I wouldn't want to be late for initiation" She giggles again before tapping him on the shoulder playfully "Come on then sleepy lest go!" He roles his eyes.

As he tightens his chest plate armer, and slides on his leather jacket, Elesa tilts her head in curiosity "Why do you wear chest plate armour". He casually looks her way with a blank, but casual look on his face "It makes me feel more secure" He says before standing up and rolling up his sleeping bag.

He grabs Max from his locker and slides her into his belt. "Have you ever thought about equipping armour to you legs or something. It might look cool!" "Not really, you think I should?" She nods his way "I do!" she responds before taking her weapons out of her locker "I'll think about it!" he responds. He then closes the locker and starts to walk to the main hall. "Are you nervous about initiation" Elesa asks "A little" he responds, since we don't know what's going to happen or who we will end up in a team with" "Yeah" she responds good point!. Do you think you'll see Cardin today. He laughs lightly "Well wouldn't that be a fun encounter!"

In the hall, where most of the other students have congregated, Knight sits writing in her book, looking deep in thought, when a Japanese girl appears before her. She is short and has long blue hair. She looks up from her book to see the girl sit across from her "Um Hello" the girl says shyly. Knight smiles at the girl before closing the book "Hi I'm Knight!" "Um hello Knight I'm Meka, and um I'm surprised this wasn't awkward!" "Awkward how so?" Knight says in an inquisitive voice "Well" she begins sounding shy and quiet "I just came over to you, that often ends in awkwardness!" "Well" Knight casually responds as she places the book in her pocket "I'm quite a cool person, so there's no need to feel awkward!" Meka looks down and lets out a little shy laugh "So um... What where you writing?". Knight takes the book out of her jeans pocket and hands it to Meka. "Hear read it. I think you might like it!"

As Meka reads the black book, Knight smiles and looks down slightly as she remembers her from last night. The girl who was looking around for someone, anyone to talk to to, but she looked scared to actually make any kind of conversation.

Not long after they find themselves walking to the Emerald Forest. It takes some time before the new students are standing on a grassy mountain top, on metal squares facing Professor Ozpin. He explains how the initiation works. Michael look at him curiously as he pays attention "The first person we meet is our team mate for the rest of the year, sounds interesting.

Knight has found herself stood next to Meka. She looks her way for a few seconds "Good luck Meka!" "Thank you" she responds sounding nervous. Knight gets into a knelt position. "Um Knight why are you...?" "Look down she responds quietly" "Oh" Meka says before hearing one of the metal squares shoot up and sees a student fly into the forest She lets out a little squeal. "Get ready" Knight says to a nervous Meka.

Raphael stands ready in the middle of the students who are currently being fired into the Emerald Forest. Michael and Elesa stand not too far from him, looking as ready as they possibly can be.

Meka gets catapulted into the forest, shortly followed by Knight. Raphael breaths with as much ease as he can as the sound of the metal squares catapulting students gets closer and closer to him "Okay Raphael, just focus on how you fall" he quietly says to himself. The catapulting sound gets closer to him until he is next. Its then his turn. He gets catapulted into the Emerald Forest. The line then starts getting closer to Elesa and Michael who only have three students standing between them. She nods Michaels way and gets ready as it gets to her turn. She gets catapulted. "Okay landing strategy" Michael says quietly to himself with a focussed expression before getting Catapulted into the Emerald Forest.
