Chapter 9: The Five Way Team

After they found a way, the 9 students finally made it back to Beacon. They all gathered up in the Auditorium to find out what happens next. When that got there, they heard yelling. They turned to see a very angry man in a gray and yellow suit speaking to Glynda. All that they heard from him were 'chess pieces.' After Glynda spoke to him, he asked her something. They don't know what he asked, but all he got from her was a nasty glare. He lowered his head, and walked away.

After their talk, Glynda went up to the microphone and said "If there's any student who needs medical attention right away, please go to the infirmary right now. If not, then wait here and await further orders." A group of students started to leave the Auditorium, and Bill wasn't one of them.

"Why aren't you going," Weiss shouted.

"It's just a scratch."

"Let the medical professionals decide."

"I'll be fine."

"That is a lot of blood," Ruby stated.

"I said I'll be fine!"

"You're friends are right." They all turned to see Professor Ozpin, with is mug in his hand. "Besides, I wouldn't want to lose a student because of blood loss," he said.

As he started to walk away, Bill asked "Sir. Were any students lost." There was a moment of silence when Ozpin finally answered his question.

"No there wasn't, Mr. Auditore." Then, he continued walking away. Bill had a worried look on his face, and walked out of the building to go to the infirmary. All four girls were all worried about Bill, and decided to follow him.

Bill was walking peacefully, when he heard Ruby's voice.

"Are you ok?" Without even turning, Bill answered her question.

"Yes, Ruby. I'm perfectly fine." After a silent walk, they finally made it to the infirmary. A nurse walked up to him and said

"Please, take a seat, and a doctor will be right with you." He took a seat, and after a few minutes, the doctor finally arrived.

"Ah, Bill Auditore. What a surprise." Bill turn to see a familiar face.

"Dr. Akin." The two shook hands.

"Uh… What," Ruby questioned.

"Oh, this is a family friend, Dr. Allen Akin," Bill explained.

Dr. Akin just gave a grin, and said "Why, Bill. I knew you were a ladies man." He patted Bill's back and continued. "But, I didn't think you were that smooth with the ladies."

Bill's face was redder than Ruby's hood. Even the girls' faces were red, except for Yang's, who was just laughing.

"Now," Dr. Akin continued. "Let's see what you got yourself into now." He studied Bill's cut and stated "I can put some stitches on it, but, I must warn you. There will be scars."

"Do whatever you can Doctor," Yang sarcastically started. "I think that face of his is the only thing that makes him hot."

Bill's face reddens even more, and he shouted "Fuck you!"

After a few minutes, Dr. Akin applied the stitches and said "Now, you need to come back every day after class for the first week so I can clean the cuts. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Good. Now, run along." Then, he walked away.

"Bill, are you ok?" He turned when Ruby asked the same question.

"Yes Ruby, I am."

"You don't seem fine," Weiss said, cutting in. She sat next to him and asked "What's wrong." After a few moments of silence, Bill said

"I'm… worried that I might not stay here."

"Why," they all asked.

"Well, for one reason, I never got a partner. I mean, aren't you suppose to get one. I just don't know."

"You're an idiot," Bill looked up as Weiss said that. "Why wouldn't they choose you. You're brave, caring, selfless, strong, smart-"

"Don't forget hot!"

"Yang!" Weiss continued.

"Those are all the traits of a huntsman." Bill said nothing, but he did smile.

"Thanks Weiss. I really needed to hear that."

"Why didn't you add hot?"

"YANG!"

"Why, Yang, I didn't know you were attracted to me."

"… Nope, changed my mind."

After all the students were in the Auditorium, Ozpin started to call teams. After a short while, he started with the last three.

"Russel Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing, Sky Lark. The four of you retrieved the Black Bishop Pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL. Led by Cardin Winchester." Team CRDL exited the stage, and the four approached.

"Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Valkayrie. The four of you retrieved the White Rook Pieces. From this day forward, you will work to ether as Team JNPR." Nora hugged Ren as their team was just formed. "Led by, Jaune Arc." Jaune was surprised by this change of events.

"Led by?"

"Congratulations, young man." Then, Pyrrha tried to give Jaune a friendly punch. But, she gave to much force, and Jaune fell to the floor.

After Team JNPR left the stage Ozpin began his speech for the last team. "And finally, Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Yang Xiao Long, and Bill Auditore." Everyone was confused about this. There can only be 4 a team… right? "The five of you retrieved the White Knight Pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team RWBY, and please don't forget the 2."

They newly formed team was confused of what he just said. But, they all looked at the projection of their team and saw it was spelled out as RWB2Y.

"Led by, Ruby Rose. Ladies and gentlemen, please give a round of applause for the first five student team to attend Beacon Academy." Everyone clapped and cheered. Yang shouted "I'm so proud of you," and hugged her. Then, Ozpin said "It looks like things are shaping up to be an interesting year."

In a warehouse in somewhere in Vale, Roman Torchwick was on the phone.

"Yes, that's why I called."

"…"

"Well, find someone soon if you want me to help you."

"…"

"Yes, I already have a person in mind, but if he wasn't invincible, then why wouldn't she be?"

"…"

"Him?"

"…"

"Yes I have a problem. If he's infiltrating Beacon, then he can't spend all his time protecting me."

"…"

"Well, then just get him when you can."

He slammed the phone down, already having a stressful day. He brought out a cigar, and started smoking. Then, a hooded faunus walked next to him with a cart. Roman gave the faunus five credit cards.

As the faunus picked them up, Roman said "Open it." The faunus did as he was ordered to. When he opened it, he saw that it was filled with dust crystals. Roman picked one up and said "We're going to need more men."
