Okay chances are that this one probably took over a week or two. And just to clarify a few things that should have been explained a few things.

First of all, Caboose being the leader of team MLLF is because of the name order. Also, that's what you question? Not the why Ozpin made Ruby a team leader or Jaune, but me making the hulk a leader, okay I guess it makes sense.

Secondly, Grif is not buff, that's his semblance, now I know I didn't need to include that but in my defense, Weiss's semblance was introduced so I felt the need to include another as well. And his semblance does not make him buff, his powers are similar to that of a vampire in a way. He has the capability to absorb numerous amounts of either human, faunus, or Grimm essence and increase his physical power drastically. It can be absorbed through either direct contact or through whatever weapon he uses. Can also restore vitality as well, but I guess it does make him buff.

Also I screwed up on Grif's team name, it's DRFL, pronounced Dragonfly.

Now let's get into the chapter.

[Morning at Team EMMM dorm]

Emerald was barely waking up as the sun had already risen. She grew used to this wake up time as she lived with Sarge on the farm. Surprisingly Mercury was always the one to stay asleep, but instead of waking him she felt he deserved a few minutes extra rest and went out in the hall.

Where Emerald met another team's player, "You're up early." The familiar voice of Church stated.

Emerald turned around to look Church in the face, "So are you." She said.

"This is my usual wake up time. You get used to it when you live in the woods." Church stated surprising Emerald.

"You lived in the wilderness?" She asked.

"Only for four years." Church answered.

"So what are you doing here?" Emerald asked leaning against the wall to look at Church.

Church looked her in the eye, "Waiting for my team captain so we all can unpack." He answered, after that there was a loud rumble coming from the room. Church got back up, "Must be him now." Church said.

"Wait," Emerald halted Church, "Take care of the big guy for me." She said.

Curious, Church questioned this, "Why is that? You got a crush on him or something?" He asked out of nowhere.

Emerald laughed it off nervously, "No, he's just the first friend I've seen in a long time. For a while it was me on my own, then a man took me and Mercury in. And I just have to say, thank him for that stupid bet." She said.

Church smiled a little, but only for a split moment, he went back to his serious face, "He is not only my teammate but also my leader, I'll protect him." He said with a nod before he went back into the room.

"Thank you." Emerald said quietly before returning to her room.

[In team MLLF's room]

It took a bit longer for everyone to wake up as Church and Caboose, but once they all awoke their first order was to unpack, "Alright men, today is the beginning of our long journey together as teammates, so for our first order, uh..." Caboose paused for a moment not knowing what to do, "Uh, Church what would our first order be, probably be?" He asked.

Church looked to the pile of suitcases and duffel bags, "Probably best if we unpacked." He suggested.

Caboose nodded with enthusiasm, "Yes, that is it. We will unpack right now, so let's do that." Caboose said.

Everyone went to their bed and grabbed their bags to unpack, Doc had his medical bag. Even though their auras had made it so they were able to withstand extreme danger he still felt safe just to keep it. Inside were the essentials: bandages, another medical kit, scissors, needles, jars with different medical serums inside, patches, even a syringe gun, and a vial or two of adrenaline, including a blood pack as well.

Tucker went to his bed as well, his luggage was a sports bag and a backpack. His cargo consisted of large amounts of male beauty products, such as soaps, shampoos, colognes, shaving kits. But some of his prized grooming tools were in their very own little cases. His prized combs made from megalowholis bone, (Grimm Whale bone). As well as his one bladed razor for just the smoothest shaves he could get.

Church's bag was different from the rest, one bag was for clothes that he would need later on, mainly 7 of everything except for two pairs of shoes, one exercise and the other combat boots. Church's main bag consisted of the following, his dual good samaritan revolvers, two Derringer pistols that have the ammo capacity for two bullets each. Next, was a folding level action rifle that folded four times to be compressed, a machete that had the initials A.C. on them, three throwing knives. But there was still more, three vials colored red, blue, and black, brass knuckles, his grappling hook attachments.

Tucker saw Church's pile layed out neatly, "What are you? A one man army?" He asked.

Church looked at Tucker, "No. I prefer the term one man war." He replied.

Tucker nodded, "Yeah, I can see that." He said.

Caboose saw Church's arsenal Andrew became amazed, "Wow, Church you carry a lot of weapons." He commented.

"These? I just couldn't fit in my locker with the other ones." Church said.

"Other ones?" Doc asked.

"Yeah, the ones that couldn't fit in the storage unit." Church answered.

"Storage unit?" Tucker asked, "When the fuck did you get a storage unit?" He asked.

"You fill out many forms and papers for that." Church answered.

"How many weapons do you have?" Caboose asked clearly concerned.

"I'm not sure myself." Church answered.

Caboose unpacked his essentials: being his comic collection, his gun, his teddy bear, and all his clothes. Not much different from your usual student, however here did also hold all his possessions in high value.

His comic collection showed his favorite heros, no not X-ray and Vav, but of hero who wanted to be the best fighter simply because he enjoyed it. A hero who saw a challenge and sprinted towards it with glee, without any doubt or fear. A hero who saw through the face of death and defeated every foe in existence. Burnie-san from that's my uncle.

Caboose's bear was made a long time ago when his Dad passed it down to him from generation. It was almost passed down to one of his sisters, if he was born just a year later. But that bear was said to be a symbol of his family, how his entire family is part bear faunus. This would explain his strength.

"Alright team," Caboose addressed everyone, "That's pretty much out of the way, so what next?" He asked.

Church raraised his hand, "Maybe we should get to class." He suggested.

Caboose nodded with enthusiasm, "Yes, class. Um does anyone know what time that starts?" Caboose asked.

Doc looked at his watch, "Um guys it starts at 9:00..." He said nervously.

"Cool, what time is it?" Tucker asked.

"It's 8:55 right now." Doc said nervously.

"Oh fuck!" Church shouted as he and the entire team MLLF booked it out the door passing team JNPR, DRFL, EMMM, and catching up to team RWBY. Guess a lot of students were going to be late.

Or not as Professor Port had not noticed anyone slide into their seats, "Monsters, demons, prowlers of the night. Yes the creatures of Grimm have many names." Port's possibly long lecture began, "But I merely refer to them as prey." He said hoping to get a few cheers instead of crickets chirping.

He started off rough as a few students had just woken up, "Uhhh, and you shall too upon graduating from this prestigious academy." He continued, "Now as I was saying, Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world. Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces. And that's where we come in...Huntsmen." Caboose sat up straight with his shoulders raised, "Huntresses." The ladies heard a few clicks and whistles, "Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves." He went on with their introduction.

He then continued with a question, "From what you ask?" despite not one person asking, "Why...the very world." He said as one kid awkwardly cheered for them, "That is what you are training to become. But first, a story. A tale of a young, handsome man. Me. When I was a boy..." Caboose attempted to concentrate but couldn't as he began wondering about what to do as a leader.

Suddenly a chill ran up his spine as he felt something powerful approach the classroom. He leaned over to Church, "Do you feel that?" He asked.

Church kept pretending to look straight, "You too, I was hoping it was just me." He said.

ImmImmediately Ozpin burst through the door to the classroom, "Hello, Peter. Children. There is a minor situation that currently looking for me, so I seek temporary shelter for the time being." He said as sweat ran down his face.

"OZPIN!!!" A voice so terrifying shook the room as it crept closer.

Port looked directly at Ozpin, "What happened this time?" He asked.

"Well I may have, kind of, sort of, possibly forgot to include her enhance skill training as a class." Ozpin said nervously.

"But she finally got her room situated." Port responded.

"I know, but it was a simple mistake, that she's taken out of control." Ozpin said as he grabbed Port's jacket by the sides, "For the love of Oum, don't let her find m-" He said until the door swung open.

The dark aura entered the room, Ozpin grew fearful as his head turned towards the figure. Slowly creeping was a woman, skin pale as snow, hair white as a clouded sky, and eyes blackened with red pupils. Dressed in all black like an dark omen, she made her way towards the Headmaster.

"Honey, I know screwed up but I can explain..." Ozpin said.

Fearful of the power this woman possessed nobody moved. Everyone glued to their seats shivered with fear of the aura this woman was emitting. It seemed as though Ozpin would not be able to live through this battle due to the fact he was backed into a corner, literally.

Caboose leaned over to his team, "Who's that?" He whispered to Church.

Church's volume was slightly lowered as well, "Her name is Salem, my Dad said her and Ozpin were on the same level. She's one of the most powerful beings ever." Church answered.

Caboose saw how desperate Ozpin's situation looked, "Well we've got to do something." He said.

Tucker stood up from his seat, he looked at Team MLLF for a moment, "I got this." He said with a straight face as he walked behind Salem. When he was one foot from her he tapped her shoulder, "Excuse me, miss?" He asked.

Salem turned around still infuriated by Ozpin, "What is it?" She asked with hostile eyes until looking upon Tucker.

But immediately changed to heartfilled eyes as she gazed into his. For that moment everything about Tucker made him so much more handsome. His clean white smile glistened and sparkled in front of her, his face was smooth without any rough edges, his eyes looked upon you with the feeling of being desired and understood. And when she spoke again she felt just like a schoolgirl again, "What seems to be the problem?" He asked.

This time when she spoke she cleared her throat and went back to a professional manner, "Well, your Headmaster had forgotten to enlist my class as a priority to you all which made me quite upset." She said.

Tucker still spoke, moving many people in the room, "I bet that did upset you, I bet you wish he'd take your work seriously." He said.

Salem calmed, "I do, I really do." She said.

Tucker then clinched the deal, "I'm sure he does take your work seriously, after all he was just explaining to us about the terrible mishap that went through the system." He said.

"He did?" She asked.

"Yes he did, and he told us he was going to do everything possible to fix this." Tucker said as he grasped her hands.

Salem blushed a bit, "Well I do suppose that I may have acted harshly." She then faced Ozpin, "Apologies Ozpin, I didn't mean to act hastily." She said.

"All is forgiven, my dear." Ozpin responded.

Tucker went back to his seat and acted calm about what happened. Port then went back to the lesson as the two left the room, "Well then as I was saying..." He continued.

But Caboose was in true thought, he used to live in a large family, he was known as the strongest member of the family as a child. However his eyes had just been opened to the horrifying truth, there is always a bigger fish.

He lived in a small pond, but this is the ocean now. Caboose was now terrified as he felt incredibly small.

"...The moral of the story?" Port asked as he finally finished his tale, "A true huntsman or huntress must be honorable." Caboose heard each line and shrunk into his seat more and more, "They must be dependable. They must be strategic, well educated, and wise." Each line made Caboose realize what he is not.

"So, who among you believe themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?" Port asked as multiple hands shot up. Among them were Simmons's, Weiss's, Tucker's, Pyrrah's, Emerald's and Mercury's, Caboose's hand stayed down.

"I do, sir." Weiss said as she was the only one to speak up.

"Well then, let's find out." Port said as he glanced at the cage, "Step forward and face your opponent." He gestured as the cage rattled.

Author's note: Okay, well yeah. A few things before I go, this time because many of the comments were similar I didn't include specific names. Also, Lopez is a robot but it will not be revealed until much later, unfortunately Doc and O'Malley will not be paired until after Volume 1. Salem is not evil but she's still involved and that is all I can reveal for the time being.So until next time, Churchisalive signing off.
