I do not own Highlander or RWBY

Chapter 8 initiation part 2

"You having fun," yelled Ruby as she used her scythe to stay on the giant nevermore they were riding on.

"You are insane," Yelled Weiss.

"Come on Weiss don't tell me you are not having fun," Yelled Ruby.

"Remind me to get my revenge later," yelled Weiss with a glare.

"You say that now but I'm sure you will change your mind later," yelled Ruby. "Look there's the temple." Ruby pointed to a set of ruins in the forest.

"Great we see them know how are we going to get down there," yelled Weiss.

"Well the way I look at it we have three options," yelled Ruby. "One we jump and trust our aura to hold up when we hit the ground. Two we use our landing strategies or three." She released her scythe from the nevermore's back and stored it behind her. She then wrapped one arm around Weiss and used the other one to release an aura wave into the nevermore. "This!" The nevermore squawked in pain from the soul pulse and flew erratically for a moment.

Using the distraction Ruby jumped off holding onto Weiss and started to use sky walk to make their way to the ground. Seeing this Weiss could only open her mouth in shock. She was originally annoyed not teaming up with Pyrrha Nikos like she had originally wanted but the more she learned about her partner the more she thought the fates favored her. Her partner has showed to know at least two of the six and was incredibly powerful. "Exactly how many of the six do you know?

"You will see," said Ruby as they made their way down. She heard screaming to the side of her and looked to see who it was. When she did she quickly made a few jumps upward to avoid colliding with Jaune as he flew into a tree. She then made her way down and grinned when she heard a voice say, "Did she just use Sky Walk."

Ruby looked over and saw Blake looking at her in astonishment. Her eyes quickly shifted over to Yang who was holding the knight piece as she stared on in shock. Before anything could be said they heard the rustling of bushes. Looking over they saw an Ursa run into the clearing before a loud sound was heard on its back. The ursa fell over dead to see an excited Nora on its back. "Aw it's broken," she said.

An exhausted Ren came running up behind her and said, "Nora never again." Only for the girl to disappear and grab the rook piece claiming to be queen of the castle. The whole time Ruby is trying to hold in her laugh. 'Where has this girl been my whole life she is hilarious,' Ruby thought in her head.

"Did she just come in riding an Ursa," said Blake in shock with yang's hanging even more open.

Before anyone could respond Pyrrha came running out of the bushes with a deathstalker on her tail. Seeing this Ruby sped over to her and used tekkai to block the claws before they could collide with Pyrrha. She then used an aura wave to send the Grimm back. She then grabbed Pyrrha and brought her back to the others where Jaune had managed to get out of the tree and join them.

"Did she just run this whole way with a deathstalker on her tail and did the girl in the hood just used tekkai," said Blake not sure what should be more unbelievable.

"Ugh I can't take it anymore. Can everyone just chill out for just two seconds before something crazy happens again," yelled Yang as fire circled around her. Everyone just stopped for a moment to just stare at her. Even the deathstalker and nevermore just stopped and starred at her.

'That is 100% Taiyang,' thought Ruby in her head. Raven would have just went on a killing spree of Grimm and human. After the two seconds Ruby said, "um we might want to get out of here. This area is not the best to fight a Deathstalker and Nevermore."

"She's right let's grab the relics and try to lose them or find a better area to fight," said Pyrrha.

"Run and live for another day sounds like a plan," said Jaune as he grabbed the rook piece. Ruby grabbed the Knight piece and the group started to run to the ruins by the cliff.

Seeing the Grimm following them Ruby said, "We need to split up and deal with them. Me and Weiss will focus on the nevermore. Yang you and your partner join us. You four deal with the deathstalker. Try to get it on that bridge and knock it into the crevice. We will hope on the tower and try to snipe the nevermore out of the sky."

"Got you," said Jaune as they tried to hold off the deathstalker for Ruby's group to cross the bridge. Unfortunately as they tried to cross the bridge themselves the nevermore flew by destroying part of the bridge separating Jaune and Nora from the group.

Ruby saw this happened but she needed to focus on the nevermore. The four of them were launching attacks at the nevermore unfortunately none of them were doing much damage. Seeing heading straight for them Ruby yelled, "Move." The others quickly complied getting out of the way of the attack. Ruby used skywalk to move above the nevermore and hit it with another aura pulse. That caused it to back off for a bit allowing the others to regain their footing. Ruby was looking at the environment trying to come up with a plan till she saw a pair of pillars and the ribbon on Blake's weapon. "I have a plan."

While this was going on yang was standing on one of the tallest pillars shooting at the Grimm with her gauntlets. When the Nevermore charged at her she jumped into the Birds mouth and using one of her arms to keep its open. She used the other arm to fire directly into its mouth. Ruby had freaked out for a moment till she remembered when Tai did something similar. Only he had used his head to keep the mouth open so he could launch attacks with both hands to attack. He wasn't allowed to sleep in the room for the next week as a consequence.

Seeing yang diverting the nevermore to the cliff Ruby yelled. "Weiss once that thing is on the cliff pin it with ice and make your way back here. Blake I need a slingshot." Ruby jumped onto one of the pillars ready to receive gambol shroud from Blake after she tied it onto the other pillar. Receiving the weapon Ruby wrapped it around the pillar. Seeing Yang making her way back to them she yelled, "yang help keep this in place."

Once Weiss returned she hopped onto the bow and used sky step to pull the ribbon tight. Weiss used her glyphs to keep the ribbon in place and help Ruby aim for the Nevermore's neck. "Fire," Ruby said. Weiss launched her onto the cliff. She focused her aura around her blade to give it more cutting power and used Weiss's glyphs to run up the cliff. By the time she reached the top she used her gravity dust round to give her a bit more power to remove its head. With a large smile she looked down the cliff and saw that the others had managed to kill the deathstalker.

"Last time you killed a goliath and this time a giant nevermore are you ever going to have a normal initiation," asked Ozpin.

"Maybe next time," Said Ruby.

The others managed to make it up the cliff with Ruby waiting for all of them. "Good to see you guys made it," said Ruby.

"It was a close call with the deathstalker but we managed to make it," said Pyrrha. "By the way I never thanked you for earlier when you got me away from the deathstalker."

"No problem it looked like you could use some breathing room," Said Ruby. "Now off to the auditorium." She led the way as the others followed.

Later in the auditorium

"Russel thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing, and Sky Lark you found the black bishop piece from this point on you shall be known as team CRDL. Led by Cardin Winchester," said Ozpin.

Ruby had to resist the urge to groan hearing she had to deal with another Winchester. 'I wonder if I'll have to threaten this one with castration as well,' she thought in her head.

"Jaune arc, Pyrrha Nikos, Li Ren, Nora Valkyrie you found the white rook pieces. From this day on you shall be team JNPR. You shall be led by Jaune Arc," said Ozpin

"Me," said Jaune in surprise.

"Congratulations young man," Ozpin said. Pyrrha congratulated him by hitting him in the arm sending him to the ground causing everyone to laugh at him.

"Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, Yang Xiao long you four found the white knight pieces. From this day on you shall be known as team RWBY. Led by Ruby Rose," said Ozpin.

"Thank you sir I'll do my best," Said Ruby

"That's all I can ask," said Ozpin as he watched them leave the stage. "I believe we are looking at an interesting year."

Omake: How Ruby got Weiss on the nevermore.

"NO, no, no way in hell," said Weiss as she walked away from the nevermore.

"Come on Weiss it will be alright," said Ruby. "And once we reach the temple well just jump off."

"No it will not. That thing will eat us before we could even pretend to land," said Weiss.

Letting out a soft sigh Ruby said, "Is that your final decision. You'll even risk failing to reach the temple in time."

"I would rather fail then die," said Weiss.

"Well good thing I'm in charge then," said Ruby as she grabbed Weiss by the waist.

"What are you doinnnnnnng" yelled Weiss as Ruby transported them to the nevermore and slammed her scythe into the bird making it take off.

"Don't worry we will be perfectly okay," said Ruby in a calm voice to the panicking Weiss.
