Welcome to the next chapter of The NPC Huntress… So, I just started Fate/Grand Order AND Fate/Extella, and I'm kinda disappointed in Extella. I mean it isn't bad it just disappointing. Oh, one more thing, I'm terrible at writing fight scene… So there is that.
Sagicknight; Well, at the very least I uploaded this chapter faster.
Guest; I have a plan for Hakuno Semblance, although that might change.
Student; Ehh, I can see her doing that just to fuck with the cast.
Gashadokuro Amanojaku; I'm glad you stayed, and yeah the first few chapter are bad, I need to rewrite them some day.

Chapter 8: Team HNTR
Emerald Forest
Hakuno P.O.V
*ROAR*
The monster's roar shook the entire forest around us. The monster looked exactly the same as it was five years ago, except it's slightly bigger and it has way more faces sticking out of its body, or at least more than I remember.
''Hey! I thought you said that you killed it!'' I yelled in my mind at Kuro.
''Well, to be fair I only said that I kicked its ass, I never said anything about killing it!'' She said nonchalantly.
''If you were stronger than it, then why didn't you kill it!?'' I asked her in frustration.
''Because I was busy fighting that jackass!'' She said referring to Qrow. ''Who cares anyway, I beat it in your twelve years old body, I'm pretty sure you can deal with it.''
''What are you doing? Dodge!'' I suddenly heard a voice yelling at me and I realized that the monster is charging towards me at full speed. The monster tried to punch me but I rolled to the side to avoid the attack and its punch hit the tree and the tree fell to the ground.
''…I don't think I can beat that thing on my own.'' I told her as I took a stance.
''Oh, come on! It's too slow, what's it gonna do? Throw a tree at you?'' She said and I was about to reply but I heard the monster roar. I looked at the monster to see it lift the fallen tree and then turned towards me and then with a roar it throws the tree at me. In a panic I swept my hand up and the mirror followed my motion, effectively cutting the tree in half.
''What the!'' I yelled in a surprise as I noticed the Grimm charging at me again, and like before I jumped to the side to dodge it attack. ''My chance!'' I mumbled and I immediately raised my hand up, and the mirror launched towards its human like arm, completely cleaving it off.
*ROAR*
''And that's for choking me fi- Gaaah!'' I screamed in pain as the monster spun around and smacked me with its mouth-hand-thing and I was sent flying towards a tree. I hit the tree and then slumped to the ground. ''Ouch! That's hurt!'' I said while rubbing my face in pain. Jeez, if it wasn't for my Aura that would have probably broke my neck. Well, at the very least I took one of its arms.
''See, I told it will be okay! Now let's rip it apart!'' Kuro said in excitement, as I continued to rub my face, and then I noticed Teal running to me.
''Hey! Are you okay!?'' She asked and looked slightly concerned.
''Yeah, but I could use some help.'' I said to her with a sheepish smile.
''No! We don't need help!'' Kuro said and I just ignored her.
''Well, if you're alright then get on your feet already!'' She said with an annoyed look on her face. She extended her hand to me and helped me to my feet.
''Thank yo-'' I was about to say but I was suddenly interrupted by the monster roar. Although, this time the roar sounded different from before.
''What the!'' Teal exclaimed with wide eyes while looking at the Grimm. I looked at the monster and my eyes widened too. The monster was still roaring but not from the face on its head but rather from one of the humanlike faces on its torso. The face started to melt and fell to the ground forming puddle of black liquid. Suddenly its cleaved arm started to slowly grow back making a disgusting sound.
''Ugh, this is so gross!'' Teal said with disgusted look on her face and I nod in agreement.
''That's was awesome! Why didn't do that when I was beating the living hell out of it!?''
''I think we need to leave…'' I said while looking at the green haired girl.
''Why/Why!?'' Both Teal and Kuro exclaimed at the same time.
''Because that thing can regenerate! And it also hits like a truck!''
''I'm not going to run away from a disgusting Grimm!'' She said with venom in her voice.
''We are not running away… we're just tactically retreating!'' I said while scratching my cheeks.
''That's the same th-'' she was cut off by another roar from the monster. I looked at the humanoid Grimm to notice that its arm has fully grown back. The monster growled and started to run towards us.
*ROAR*
''It doesn't matter let's just run!'' I said and then grabbed her arm and started to run away as fast as I can.
''Stop running, you fucking bitch!'' Kuro yelled in anger.
''Hey! Wait! Stop we can take it on!'' She shouted and I only ignored her. Sigh… I hope Rojo and Yang are faring better than me.
…
Emerald Forest
Rojo P.O.V
*ROAR*
''Jeez, will that thing ever shut up!'' I shouted in frustration as I walked through the forest. Seriously, That Grimm has been roaring for a while now, the noise is really starting to hurt my sensitive ears.
''You're heading to the east!'' The doll looking girl said with the same emotionless voice.
''And the problem is?'' I said without stopping.
''The relic is to the north…'' She said and I groaned at her.
''For the last time! I'm not going to the relics right now! I'm looking for someone! Also, nobody is forcing you to follow me!'' I said with a growl.
''Partner…'' She simply answered and I groaned again.
''Sigh… I hate you!'' I said with venom but she only tilted her head in confusion.
*ROAR*
''Okay! If I heard that noise again I will punch som-''
*ROAR*
''Gaaaah!'' I screamed and turned towards the tree and punched it very hard, and the tree fell with a creek. ''I swear I will find that thing and I will rip it apart!''
''Sigh… Annoying…'' The black haired doll mumbled and I twitched.
''Wait, who are you calling annoying, me or that thing roaring?'' I asked with a growl and she stared at me with the same blank stare.
''Both…''
''Screw you!'' I yelled and continue to walk hoping I will find Hakuno on the way.
…
''If you're looking for someone, wouldn't they be heading north towards the relics…?'' She said while tilting her head to the side.
''…Oh, I never thought about that!'' I said and then turned north. ''Well then, let's head north!'' I exclaimed while pointing in front of me.
''That's south…''
''Screw you!''
…
Emerald Forest
Hakuno P.O.V
''We finally got away from that thing…'' I said while panting from all that running.
''Hey! Why did you run!? We could have killed that thing!'' She yelled while flailing her arms around and surprisingly she didn't seem tired.
''Yeah, better have a good fucking reason!'' Kuro yelled in my head.
''That's not the problem! That thing can regenerate!''
''So? It can't regenerate when it's dead?'' Teal said with frown.
''Yeah, but defeating that thing will take very long, and we need to get the relic as fast as possible…'' I said with a sigh.
''Why? It's not like there is a time limit or something.'' She said and then shrugged.
''Yes, but by the time we killed that thing all the relics would have been taken!'' I said and pouted at her.
''…Well, I guess that's makes sense…'' She said with a little frown.
''Who gives a fuck about the relics!? Now, turns around! Grab your mirror! And go kill that thing!'' Kuro shouted in anger.
''We have to get the relic or else we won't be able to pass the initiation!''
''You said we will be killing some Grimms!'' She shouted again.
''Well, I never thought that the first monster we will meet can regenerate!'' I replied to her with a sigh.
''I don't really care!'' She said angrily.
''Listen if we met a Grimm after we get our relics I promise we will fight it!'' I told her and she growled at me.
''You bet-'' She said but was cut off by the voice of Teal yelling.
''Hey! Could you stop ignoring me!?'' Teal yelled at me with pout.
''Oh, sorry! I was just thinking to myself.'' I said with an awkward laugh.
''Thinking about what?'' She asked with a confused look on her face.
''Err… Umm, about that weird Grimm…?'' I answered her question.
''Huh? Weird? why?'' She asked again still looking confused.
''I mean it had human like faces on its body, and it also can regenerate!'' I said with a smile while scratching my cheek.
''Isn't all Grimms like that? I mean I thought they all looked that disgusting.'' She said with a shrug.
''Well… They usually looks like animal and they are not as disgusting as this one. Also, they don't regenerate usually… Or at the very least the ones I have encountered before don't.'' I told her and then realized something. ''Wait a second! You didn't see a Grimm before!?'' I asked in a surprise. I can understand not fighting one, but never knowing how they look is weird. What? Was she living in a basement her entire life? Then again she seems like she is from a rich family, maybe she was sheltered or something.
''O-Of course I have seen one before! I was just testing you!'' She said obviously lying.
''Oh, great! Our partner is an idiot who doesn't know what Grimms looks like… Can we kill her now?'' Kuro said in frustration.
''No…'' I simply answered her and she groaned.
''Are those the ruins?'' I heard Teal said and I looked up ahead to see the ruins where the relics are, and it seems like there already are two girls here…
''…Wait isn't that Yang?'' I mumbled to myself, and suddenly Teal grabbed my hand.
''Let's go!'' Teal said excitedly as if she is a child and started to run and dragged me with her.
''Hey! Wait, stop dragging me I can walk on my own!'' I told her but she ignored me and continued to drag me with her, but once she noticed that there are people at the ruins she flinched and stopped on her tracks.
''Oh, someone got here before us.'' She said with a pout and I looked at her quizzically.
''And the problem is…?'' I asked in confusion.
''Sigh… Nothing, I just hoped that we will be the first to get here…'' She said while still pouting. Seriously, she's really acting like a child.
''Come on! It's okay, even if we are not the first to get here.'' I said with a gentle smile, and she started to blush for some reason.
''I-I guess you're right.'' She said still blushing.
''Of course I am! Now let's go!'' I said and started to walk towards the ruins. When we got to the ruins I saw the two girl's faces, one was Yang like I thought, and the other was the black haired girl from before. ''So, it was Yang after all… Hey, Yang!'' I yelled and started to wave my hand.
''You know them?'' The green haired girl whispered in my ears while raising her eyebrow.
''Well, only the blonde one…'' I answered and she looked confused.
''Blonde…?''
''Sigh… The girl with yellow hair…'' I told her. Seriously, she doesn't even know what blonde mean?
''Hey! You managed to get here!'' I heard Yang say in surprise.
''What is that supposed to mean?'' I said with an angry pout.
''Uhh, nothing! I just thought that Rojo and Ruby will make it here first!'' Yang said with an awkward laugh, and I was about to reply but I noticed Teal getting close to the black haired… way too close. Suddenly, she extended her hand towards the girl bow. The girl flinched and jumped away and started to glare at Teal.
''Uhh… Teal, what are you doing?'' I asked while scratching my cheek.
''Hmm? Oh, it just I thought I saw her bow move…?'' She said while still looking at the girl bow.
''It must be your imagination…'' I told her, and looked at the black haired girl to see her sigh in relief for some reason.
''Whatever, let's just take the relic and leave.'' She said with a shrug and started to look around the ruins.
''Umm, shouldn't you apologize?'' I asked and she raised an eyebrow at me.
''Why should I apologize?'' She said and continued to look around her.
''You know because… Sigh… Forget it.'' I said as I facepalmed.
''That girl is weird.'' Yang said with a smile.
''Yes, yes she is! Sigh… Let's just take the relics and leave.'' I replied and looked around us to see chess pieces on pedestals and some of them are missing. The pieces on the right are golden while the pieces on the left are black.
''You know what will be a dick move? If we destroy the pieces after we take ours!'' She said and I sighed at her.
''Yeah, I'm not doing that…'' I simply replied.
''Sigh… You're no fun!''
''Hmm? So umm… where are the relics exactly?'' I heard Teal say in confusion.
''Umm, the chess pieces are the relics.'' Yang told her.
''That's stupid, why call them relics if they're just chess pieces?'' She asked in confusion, and I just walked towards the black pawn.
''Who cares? It's not like we're going to keep it with us or anything.'' I said and grabbed the black pawn from the pedestal.
''Hey! I wanted to take the golden piece?'' She said with a pout.
''Why? Gold is a stupid color, black is better.'' I told her with a shrug while staring at the pawn piece, and then turned towards Yang. ''Aren't you going to take one?'' I asked her while raising my eyebrow.
''Oh, I already to- gaaah!'' Yang screamed as someone jumped from the forest and dropped kick her, sending her flying towards one of the empty pedestals effectively breaking it. And that someone was obviously Rojo. Oh great, they're going to start fighting again.
''Oh, hello Hakuno! I didn't expect you to get here sooner than me!'' The red haired Faunus said with smile as if she didn't do anything.
''Hello, Rojo…'' I said with a sigh.
''Hey! What was that for!?'' The blonde brawler yelled as she stood up and her eyes flashed red.
''Usually I will say that you're so ugly I mistook you for a Grimm, but this time I was aiming for someone else but I missed. So, sorry I guess.'' She said and narrowed her eyes at the black haired girl, and the girl flinched at that… Wow! She really hates that girl!
''Someone else…? Wait a second, did you just apologize!?'' Yang said in a surprise as her eyes returned to normal, and then she turned towards me. ''Hakuno, I think Rojo is sick or something.'' Yang said and started to give Rojo a weird looks.
''Anyway! Hakuno, who is your partner?'' Rojo ignored her and asked me with a serious look on her face.
''Oh! Umm, she is right over there, her name is Teal…'' I said and pointed at the green haired girl nearby. Once Rojo heard me she looked at both Yang and the black haired girl, and then growled to herself.
''Wow, that name sound very fake!'' Yang said with a laugh.
''No! It's not!'' Teal yelled in frustration.
''What about your partner?'' I asked her.
''I'm here…''
''Gaaah!'' I screamed in surprise as I heard a voice coming from my side and jumped away. When I looked at her I realized that she is the emotionless girl from yesterday, she looked the same as yesterday but now she have a Katana on her waist. ''Since when did you get here!?'' I asked in a surprise.
''Noir Tristesse… My name…'' She said with no emotion…
''Okaaay… I didn't ask for that…?'' I said while scratching my cheek, the girl only tilted her head… This girl is weirding me out.
''The relic…'' Noir said while looking at Rojo.
''Oh, I almost forget about this!'' She said and walked toward one of the pedestal and grabbed the other black pawn piece. ''Well, now let's go!'' She said.
''umm, we shou-'' I was saying but I was cut off by a scream.
*Girlish Scream*
''Did you hear that!? Some girl is in trouble! What should we do!?'' Yang said in panic, and I was about to answer when I heard Rojo talk.
''Isn't that?'' She said while looking at the sky. I looked up and to my surprise I saw Ruby falling.
''Heads uuuuu-'' Ruby shouted but she was cut off when something hit and send her flying toward a tree, that thing was a blonde boy with blue eyes.
''Wow, that guy look like a wimp!'' Kuro said with a laugh.
''That's rude… even though it kinda true!'' I said with an awkward smile.
''Did your sister just fall from the sky?'' The black haired talked for the first time since I got here.
''YEEEE-HAAAAW!'' I heard a girl shout and I turned to see a girl with a short orange hair riding… an Ursa, and suddenly the Ursa fell to the ground dead. ''Awwww… It's broken!'' the girl said while examining the dead Grimm. Suddenly, a guy with a black hair and a pink streak on the left side appeared out of nowhere.
''See? That girl knows how to have fun!'' Kuro said and I only shrugged at her.
''Nora! Please! …Don't ever do that again!'' The guy said while panting. He looked at where the girl was and to his and my surprise she wasn't there.
''Where did that girl go?'' I mumbled to myself.
''I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!'' I suddenly heard the girl singing behind me, I turned around to see her dancing with the golden rook piece on her head.
''Nora!'' The black haired guy yelled and she stopped dancing.
''Coming Rin!'' She yelled and ran towards the guy.
''That girl is weird.'' Teal whispered to me.
''I don't think you have the right to say that.'' I whispered back and she raised an eyebrow at me. Suddenly, I heard a screech coming out of the forest. ''Oh god! Not again!'' I yelled hoping it won't be the same Grimm from before. A girl came out of the forest with a giant scorpion Grimm following her; the girl has a red hair and was dressed like a Spartan… for some reason.
''Did that girl just run all the way here with a Deathstalker on her tail?'' Yang partner said, and Yang eyes shone red again.
''I can't take this anymore! Can everyone chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again!?'' Yang said in anger, and everyone fell in silence for a few second. Then Ruby jumped from the tree and stood by her sister side and looked up at the sky.
''Umm… Yang?'' Ruby said and pointed at the sky. I looked up to see the white haired girl from yesterday clinging to the claw of a giant bird Grimm. What was that girl name again, Weiss?
''How could you leave me?!'' The girl yelled at the top of her lung.
''I said jump…'' Ruby replied.
''She's gonna fall.'' The black haired girl simply said.
''She'll be fine!'' Ruby said.
''Doubt it.'' Rojo told her.
''She's falling.'' The black haired guy said as the girl started to fall. Suddenly, the blond guy jumped out of the tree and caught her in midair.
''Just dropping in?'' He said and then his eyes widened as he realized that he is still high in the air. He screamed as they both fell to the ground.
''Never mind! He doesn't look like wimp, he's a total wimp!'' Kuro said with a growl, and I was about to answer but I stopped once I saw the red haired girl being hit by the Deathstalker and knocked her towards us.
''Great! The gang all here! Now we can die together!'' Yang said sarcastically.
''Oh, come on! There are twelve of us and two them, I'm pretty sure we can tak-'' I stopped talking once I saw something jump from the forest and land in front of me… It was the Grimm from before.
*ROAR*
''I stand corrected there is three of them.'' I said in panic as the monster growled at me.
''Wait! Isn't that!?'' Both Yang and Rojo said at the same time. The humanoid Grimm roared and grabbed me with it human like arm.
''Leave her alo- agh'' Ruby screamed in pain as the Grimm hit her with his Mouth-hand-thing sending her flying throw a tree.
''RUBY!''
''Well, she lasted longer than I thought!'' Kuro said with a laugh, but I ignored her.
''You're not still angry about that arm, are you?''
*ROAR*
''Guys I don't mind getting some heeeeeeeeeelp!'' I yelled at the top of my lung as the monster suddenly flung high up in the air and it jumped behind.
…
Beacon Cliff
3rd P.O.V
Meanwhile, on the cliff Glynda was watching what is happening through her tablet, while Ozpin was just looking over the forest with mug in his hand.
''That Grimm… It's the same as the one the kids described five years ago.'' Glynda said as she saw the Grimm take hold of Hakuno and throw her high in the air. ''At this rate they are going to die. We should interfere…'' she said with a slight concern for the brunette, and he took a sip from his mug.
''No… Let's wait and see.'' He simply answered her, as he looked over the forest.
…
Emerald Forest
Rojo P.O.V
''That thing kidnapped Hakuno…'' Yang said and I grit my teeth.
''Yes! Thank you for stating the obvious, dumbass!'' I yelled at her in anger.
''What is your problem!?''
''What's my problem!? A giant Grimm came out of nowhere and kidnapped my friend! And you ask me what's my problem!?'' I shouted while clenching my hand.
''You know, instead of fighting we should go and save her!'' The green haired girl said with a sigh.
''…Good point, Broccoli!'' I said and I gave her a thump up.
''Who are you calling Broccoli!?''
''Now, if excuse me I will go save Hakuno while you idiot being slaughtered by those Grimms.'' I said while pointing at the two Grimms.
''Wait! I'm coming with you!'' I suddenly heard Broccoli say and turned around and raised my eyebrow at her.
''Why?''
''Because she's my partner and I can't pass without her!'' She said and I groaned.
''Fine, but only you!?'' I told her and started to run toward where Hakuno was thrown.
''Hey! We're coming too!'' I stopped once I heard Yang.
''No you're not!'' I answered her.
''Why!?''
''Because first, our teamwork sucks. Second, if all of you came with me those Grimms will follow you, and I don't want to fight all three at once. Third, your sister is kinda hurt.'' I said and pointed at Ruby who just stood to her feet.
''What just happened?'' Ruby asked while wincing in pain.
''Now, if you don't mind I will take Broccoli and go save Hakuno.'' I said and started to run again.
''Stop calling me that!''
''Oh! By the way, if you find yourself in trouble then just sacrifice the stupid cat!'' I shouted without looking back.
''Cat?'' I heard Yang mumbling in confusion and I just chuckled to myself. I feel like I'm forgetting about something or someone…
…
In The Air
Hakuno P.O.V
''Jeez, that thing throw me so high up in the air.'' I said while holding my Taiyō No Megumi up in the air like before to slow my fall down.
''Look to the bright side, we will got our rematch against the stupid looking Grimm!'' Kuro said excitedly, and I sighed at her.
''I don't see what bright about this.'' I told her and looked beneath me to see the Grimm following me on foot, waiting for me to fall on the ground.
''Well, it's bright for me! Now, fell to the ground so we can have our cool fight!'' She said as we almost reached the ground. Once I was close I let the mirror and fell to my feet in an open field on the side of a very high cliff... Maybe I can push it from the side of the cliff
''I just hope that I can win…'' I said when suddenly the Grimm charged at me out the forest. I avoided its attack and swung the mirror at it cutting it side. The Grimm spun around and tried to smack me with it mouth hand, but I jumped over the monster and slashed at its back while I'm in the air. Once I landed on the ground I immediately jumped away to avoid another punch from the Grimm, then the monster tried to kick me and I used the mirror as a shield to block the attack, but it was too strong that it managed to push both the mirror and me far away.
''Jeez, that thing hit so hard!'' I said and then noticed the monster started to run towards me again and I prepared myself, when all sudden an arrow made of light came out of nowhere and hit the monster dead in the eye, and the monster started to roar in pain. The arrow immediately started to disappear.
''Hiyaaaaa!'' I suddenly heard a shout and I saw a red blur passing through the Grimm tearing its arm off. ''That's for punching me five years ago.''
''Rojo! You are here!'' I said with a smile as the red haired girl stood by my side with smug look on her face.
''Of course, I came to save you!'' She with a grin.
''I'm here too!'' I heard a voice coming from my left, I looked towards the source of the voice to see Teal running towards us and she was holding a bow in her hand. Wait, her sword turns into a bow?
''Yeah, yeah nobody cares, Broccoli! I'm still holding a grudge ag- Oh god! That's disgusting!'' Rojo said with disgust as she stared at the Grimm. I looked at it to see that like before, one of the faces on its chest melted away and its arm started to grow back and its injuries completely healed, but this time its arm is growing faster than before.
''Oh, great! It's doing that again!'' Teal said grossed out with what is happening.
''Well, even if it can regenerate we're three against one, I'm sure we can beat it!'' Rojo said.
''Speaking of three… What happened to your partner?'' I asked Rojo.
''Oh The Doll, I knew I forgot something!'' She said and facepalmed. ''Umm, she w-'' She was interrupted by a calm girl voice.
''I'm here…'' The voice was coming from the ground…? I looked down to see a head sprouting from Rojo shadow.
''…Umm, Rojo what's that?'' I asked with a pale face.
''That's look like the Do- What the!?'' Rojo exclaimed as the girl jumped from her shadow, but there was no hole where she was.
''How did you?!'' Rojo asked.
''Semblance…'' She simply answered… That explained absolutely nothing. The girl then gave the Grimm a weird look, and for some reason she looked like she's angry even though her face looks like it normally is... emotionless.
…
''Is it weird that she's creeping me out more than the Grimm?'' Teal whispered in my ear.
''Honestly, I will be more concerned if y-''
*ROAR*
''Well, I guess it got tired of being ignored!'' Rojo said while pointing at the Grimm who's running towards us. I was ready to dodge when all of sudden Rojo started to charge at the monster, and I followed her with a sigh.
''Hey! I think we need to make a plan!'' I said as the monster tried to punch me but I used the mirror as shield to block its attack, Rojo took advantage of that and jumped over my head and used her claws to slash at the monster face. The monster roared and was about to hit Rojo with its other arm but out of nowhere a whip curled around its arm stopping it from moving.
''Whip?'' I murmured to myself and looked at the other end of the whip to see it connected to a sword hilt in Noir hand. The monster tried to pull the whip but three arrows from Teal's bow hit it on its back. As the monster wail in pain I spun around and hit it with the mirror on its knee, and then I jumped away to avoid an attack from its free arm. The monster was about to run towards me but Noir pulled the whip on it arm making it twirl around as the whip left it arm and turned back into a sword, and Noir used to slash at its chest.
''Dodge!'' I heard Teal shout coming from behind Noir. Noir jumped to the side as two arrows passed her and hit the monster in the eyes. Rojo took the chance and jumped at it tearing it mouth-hand off again, and immediately rolled away to avoid its attack.
''Now is my chance I guess…'' I mumbled and put my hand on the mirror as it floated in front of me, and it started to spin in its place like a saw. I raised my hand up and then throw it at the Grimm direction, and it flied towards its neck at a very high speed and the mirror passed through it neck like it was nothing. Once it cut throw its neck the mirror stopped and returned to me as I pulled my hand back.
…
''Finally it's dead!'' Teal exclaimed with a sigh of relief.
''See! We didn't need a plan.'' Rojo said with a grin.
''I guess…'' I said with a tired smile.
''Not yet…'' Noir said while pointing at the monster direction. I looked up to see the Grimm is still decapitated… and somehow is still standing on its feet.
''Maybe it's died on it-''
*ROAR*
''God dammit!'' Rojo shouted as one of the human like faces started to scream/roar and melted away, and like before its arm and head started to grow back. ''So… do you have any plan?'' She said while looking at me.
''Umm, we could either keep killing it until it die… Or we could push it down the cliff?'' I said while pointing at the cliff far behind the monster.
''That sound kinda underwhelming…'' Kuro said in disappointment.
''Do you have a better idea?'' I said with a pout.
''No, but that doesn't change the fact that it's underwhelming.'' She simply answered.
''Let's push the damn thing before it regenerate!'' Rojo shouted as she ran towards the Grimm. She hugged it and started to push it as hard as she can and it started to move. The monster suddenly kneed the red haired girl in the stomach and then punched her with its undamaged arm in the face knocking it away.
''It can move without its head?'' I exclaimed in a surprise. Noir rushed towards it and used her sword to attack the monster legs, the monster tried to attack her but she dodged and continued her barrage of attacks.
''Hey, how good is your aiming?'' I turned around and asked Teal.
''I hit that thing twice in the eyes… I don't know you tell me.'' She said.
''Hey! Noir, out of the way!'' I shouted as I took one of the Dust vials on my belt and throw it as hard as I can toward the monster, and Noir jumped out of the way. ''Teal, now!'' I said once the vial was close enough.
''On it!'' She said as an arrow of light metalized in her hand, and then she used her bow to fire it directly at the vial, and it exploded in front of the monster sending it flying to the edge of the cliff, and it almost fell… almost.
''Damn it!'' I shouted and started to run towards it. ''Rojo!'' I yelled as I walked by her and she immediately jumped to her feat, and lift me by my clothes.
''Horyaaaaa!'' She shouted and spun around and threw me to the Grimm as hard as she can. I adjusted myself in the air and once I was close enough I hit it with my legs in the chest hard enough to send us both flying over the edge. ''Oh, crap!'' I was about to panic when I felt Noir whip curl around my waist and pull me away from the cliff as I watched the Grimm fall to oblivion.
''Sigh… Thanks for saving me.'' I told her as I felt the whip let me go and revert back to its sword mode. Noir only nodded at me.
…
''That was kinda underwhelming…'' I said as I let myself fall to the ground.
''I told you!''
''Yeah it kinda is…'' Rojo said with a tired sigh.
''Hey! We don't have time for this we have to return to the cliff to pass the initiation!'' I heard Teal yell and I only groaned.
''But I'm so tired! Can't we rest first!?'' I said with a sigh.
''No! Stand up and let's go!'' She said and I stood up with a sigh.
''Fine!'' I said and started to walk.
''Tired…'' I suddenly heard Noir says.
''Not you too!'' Teal exclaimed, but Noir ignored her and walked behind Rojo and stood on her shadow, and then she instantly sank to the ground, or more specifically in Rojo shadow.
''Hey! Get out of there!'' Rojo shouted but no one answered her.
''No time for that let's just go!'' Teal said and started to run, and Rojo followed her with a groan, and I only smiled at them.
''Why are you smiling?'' Kuro asked.
''Nothing, I'm just happy that everyone is okay!'' I answered her and started to follow them. I hope they always stay like that.

Few Hours Later
The Amphitheater
Hakuno P.O.V
''Cardin Winchester, Russell Thrush, Dove Bronzewing, and Sky Lark.'' Dad said as he stood in front of four students congratulating them for surviving the initiation. ''The four of you have retrieved the Black Bishop pieces. From this day forward you will work together as Team CRDL(Cardinal). Led by… Cardin Winchester.'' Everyone clapped as the next four came up.
''Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos, and Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the White Rook pieces.''
''Wait, I thought they were golden!'' Kuro said but I ignored her.
''From this day forward you will work together as Team JNPR(Juniper). Led by… Jaune Arc!'' he said and congratulate them. Wait, wouldn't it make more sense if Pyrrha was the leader?
''Huh? L-Led by...?'' The blond guy stuttered.
''Congratulations, young man.'' Dad told him.
''Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Yang Xiao Long.'' He said as the Four stood in front of him. ''The four of you retrieved the White Knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team RWBY. Led by... Ruby Rose!'' he said and both Yang and Ruby cheered for themselves. Next are us, so we stepped on the platform.
''And finally, Hakuno Kishinami, Noir Tristesse, Teal Alegria, Rojo Rabia. The four of you retrieved the Black Pawn pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team HNTR(Hunter). Led by… Hakuno Kishinami!''
''Wait, me!'' I said in surprise.
''You did well.'' Dad said with a smile.
''You deserve it!'' Rojo said with a grin and bump my shoulder.
''Well, I guess I will allow you to be the leader.'' Teal said while smiling in pride, and Noir only nodded at me with the same emotionless look on her face.
''It looks like things are shaping up to be an interesting year.'' Dad said amidst the cheers.
''Sigh… And a very tiring one!'' I said with a tired smile.

3rd P.O.V
Meanwhile, on an unknown beach, everything was silent as there was no one on the beach. Until something suddenly emerged from the see, it was the Humanoid Grimm that Hakuno and her friends just fought, now it fully healed from its injuries. The monster looked up at the shuttered moon with its shining red eyes, and then…
