I'm so sorry about the wait on this one, time really got away from me... Ugh lets see anything important... To talk about... Scottish independence... I doubt yous guys are interested though.

Ps, the students will refer to the chief as Mendez, as that is the name he has given them.

Location: Remnant

Date: 2554

The rain was howling inside the Forrest of Forever Fall, it was close to midnight and the sky was pitch black, the only light was coming from the moon.

Team RWBY was unarmed and making their way through the Grimm infested place, all members cursing The fact that Prof. Mendez had decided this was an effective training method. It was practically suicide!

"I swear, when I get my hand on Mendez I am going to ram my foot so far up his..." Yang started, her eyes permanently red, due to the fact her hair was plastered against the side of her head. Also she hated the fact that they, including every other first year team was forced out of their beds at the better part of eleven at night and forced into the Forrest unarmed.

Mendez had told them that their objective was to capture the flag located at the other side of the woods, all teams against each other, no fighting, anything or anyone.

"Yang, stop it." Weiss ordered, out of all of them she was the most annoyed, after all the heiress did need her beauty sleep. "Were all tired, and as long as Ruby reads the map correctly, we should be the first team to reach the flag, where we will be entitled to a week off of Mendez's training."

It was true, every student had gone through vigorous training with the Chief, and combat scores had tripled within a month. Teachers were questioning the methods used by the master chief, but they couldn't argue with the results. Improved combat scores and battle tactics, including a technique called a 'pincer movement', improved CQB skills, Weapons training. And - to the relief of a significant number of students - a massive drop in racial profiling to the Faunus students. Especially after the time when Cardin was hospitalised for the third time in a month. After bullying Velvet again. Eventually he got the message.

However, this was the first of the Chiefs truly crazy exercises, since everything was within school times and not without the ordinary. If a little extreme.

"Hey guys, I think I see the flag!" Ruby shouted, but then squinted her eyes and looked at the flags general are. And saw four familiar faces. "And JNPRs ABOUT TO GET IT!" She shouted as she used her semblance and darted off in its general direction.

"RUBY!, WAIT!" Her team shouted after her, but it fell on deaf ears.

Jaune was quite literally was inches away from grabbing the flag, surprised that his team was the first to get there, Nora was too tired to be her usual energetic self and he believed his team had tried the most at improving scores.

His heart sank, at the moment he saw a familiar trail of roses snatch the flag from his grasp.

"Oh, Come on!" He shouted as he saw Ruby triumphantly wave the flag, just then Prof Mendez arrived in his armour, The way it conveyed no emotion pretty much made Jaune wet himself when he first saw it, The armour and the man had become iconic to the students at beacon plus he was carrying his assault rifle. To which Jaune -and the rest of his team- assumed it was a personal favourite.

But what happened next was completely unexpected, Mendez had taken the flag out of Ruby's hands and passed it to Jaune. "Congratulations, Mr Arc." He began "Team JNPR have successfully captured the flag first."

"What?!" Jaune asked and Ruby screamed at the same time. It was obvious that the scythe wielder was annoyed by this statement.

"Your leadership skills and cooperation with your team helped you achieve victory." The chief said as the rest of Team RWBY had arrived.

"WHAT!?" Ruby Screamed. "I GOT THE FLAG FIRST!" With this statement, The Chief snapped his head around.

"Exactly, You did, Your team didn't." He simply replied.

"What exactly does that mean?" Ruby asked, her left eye was twitching slightly.

"You do not win, until your team wins." He said, it clicked for Ruby, Blake and Weiss simply pressed their hands against their heads and Yang simply got mad and punched a tree to the ground. Ruby was about to speak again, before the Chief cut her off. "I should know, I learnt that lesson when I was half your age." And with that, he walked off.

"What does he mean by that?" Ruby asked. Weiss looked at her, clearly angry.

"It means if you weren't such a compleat dolt, we may have won!" The ice queen hissed, her voice filled with venom.

"Not that part, him mentioning he learnt that before, I thought hunter training was illegal for under twelves" Ruby mentioned the chiefs newest revelation. "Who is this man?"

Okay, guys I'm so sorry for not updating this sooner, just had schoolwork etc, and I'm sorry for the short chapter, but I will say this, I do have some really strong ideas for later on.
