A.N.: I'm so hyped for RWBY volume 3 that starts on October 24th.

Ruby: What about team RWBY

Me: It's a web series here

Weiss: What is that like?

Me: I'll have to explain it to you sometime

Rusty: *from afar* That won't be awkward at all!

Me *Sigh* Why did I bring him into this world

Can We Have One Normal Day

"Let's go!" Steel shouted running at the giant scorpion with Axe Gevar followed by the other initiates close behind him.

Ruby and Yang were trailing behind a bit. Teal slashed at the Deathstalker's claw while Rusty shot the same claw with his shotgun. Mag and Blake were attacking the scorpion head on while Steel and Weiss tried attacking the other claw. Ruby and Yang caught up and started attacking the legs of the Deathstalker. Yang unleashed a barrage of shots from Ember Celica while Ruby started slashing the legs. Weiss and Steel managed to cut the claw that they were going after off. The Deathstalker used its other claw to knock Teal and Rusty back and tried picking up Steel with its pincer.

"Steel, look out!" Mag shouted using her flail to stun the Deathstalker in hopes to knock the beast off guard and buy Steel a few more seconds. Her plan worked, fortunately the flail jabbed one of the Deathstalkers eyes causing it to cry out in pain and forget about attacking Steel long enough for him to get out of the way from the pincer

"Yang, see what you can do to help out on that other pincer." Ruby shouted.

Yang jumped into the air with a shot from her gauntlets and onto the pincer. She started pounding the joint that the last claw was attached to and loosened it enough to cut through. Teal saw this and jumped into the air, Weiss cast a glyph behind him to propel him forward and he cut straight through the joint. Blake had been shooting at the stinger on the tail. Blake took Gambol Shroud and turned it into its chain scythe form. Blake hopped onto the Deathstalker's back and cut the end of the stinger off causing it to fall on the scorpion's head.

"Weiss, I need you to cast a glyph at my feet when I'm in the air. Point me at that stinger." Yang shouted as the heiress gave a nod.

Yang jumped into the air again in a similar fashion as before. On Yang's decent Weiss cast a glyph that Yang sprang off of. She punched the Deathstalker's stinger straight through its armour plating and drove it straight through the beast's brain. Yang hopped off of the dead body and gave out a sigh.

"What's the matter?" Steel asked caringly.

"Oh, nothing, I just expected more of a fight." Yang stated not wanting to kill the good mood.

"We still need to get back to Beacon." Ruby pointed out.

"Right, let's go." Steel said and all of the initiates took off in the direction of Beacon.

"The four of you will be known as team Jester." Ozpin said as the four students on stage smiled and walked off.

Steel was nervous, he was about to be given teammates that would be with him for the next four years. He already knew about Mag, but the other two were a complete mystery.

"Steel Storm, Teal Su, Rusty Stof, and Magenta Jasny." Professor Ozpin started but Steel blanked out for a second, "From this point on the four of you will be known as team STRM. Lead by...Steel Storm." The old man nodded his head in acceptance and another group took the stage after them.

Ruby shook hands with Steel as he walked off stage.

"Congrats on being team leader." The cookie loving girl beamed at him

"Thanks Ruby, I don't think I could ask for a better team than this one." Steel said ending the handshake with Ruby.

"I know how it could have been better." Mag said gesturing over to Rusty.

"You'll get used to him." Steel said as the group that took their place was now walking off stage. Ruby looked up to see that Jaune was heading up to the stage along with three others.

"Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos, Lie Ren. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward you will work together as team JNPR. Led by...Jaune Arc."

After some shock by Jaune, the four of them nodded and walked off stage. Ruby heard her name being called.

"Wish me luck." Ruby said and walked toward the stage. Blake was behind her knowing that they would be on the same team together. Ruby was up on stage now and looked to her side to see Weiss standing there. She looked up at Ozpin who addressed them.

"Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, and Yang Xiao Long." Ruby's heart skipped a beat when she heard her sister's name. She kept her cool and let Ozpin finish what he was saying.

"The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward the four of you will work together as team RWBY. Lead by...Ruby Rose." Ruby almost started hyperventilating at the sound of her being a team leader.

She suddenly felt a tight squeeze from someone. Ruby opened her eyes to see Yang standing in front of her giving her a bear hug. Yang let Ruby go to not suffocate her and the four of them walked off stage.

"Looks like I am not the only one who deserves the gratitude of being a team leader." Steel said smiling holding out his hand. Ruby obliged as he did and shook his hand again firmly.

"Now then, I'm sure everyone is hungry from their first full day. Dinner is now being served in the cafeteria." Ozpin said walking off stage.

"I'm hungry, let's go get some grub." Rusty said as everyone just looked at him. "What?" he questioned.

"Screw it, I'm in" Yang said and took off toward the cafeteria.

"Yang wait up." Ruby shouted, but her sister was already long gone. Ruby dashed after her. Team STRM and the rest of her team followed trailing behind slightly.

Everyone was eating together in the cafeteria. Team JNPR had joined teams STRM and RWBY at the table as they talked about their past and how they got to the place they were today. Jaune seemed quiet during this time but no one really questioned it. It was getting late so the teams decided that it was time to retire to their dorms.

"Hey Ruby, where are the dorms?" Yang asked her.

Ruby was happy that she actually had a chance to explore the campus the day before.

"It should be around this corner." Ruby stated hopefully.

The team of four rounded the corner and sure enough, the dormitories building was right there. The team walked inside and went to go find their dorm room. After about only five minutes of searching, they found their dorm room and walked inside. The room was fairly big for four people.

"Well, this is cozy." Weiss stated.

Blake dropped her bag beside one of the desks and sat down on one of the beds; Yang did the same. Weiss put her duffle bag on the bed that she chose and left to go to the washroom. Ruby sat down on the one unclaimed bed and left her bag beside it. She lay back on the bed and closed her eyes briefly. She opened her eyes when Weiss walked back into the room.

"So, what now?" Ruby asked hoping for suggestions.

"Personally, I think that we should get some sleep." Weiss stated kneeling down by her bag. She pulled out a night gown.

"Good idea Weiss." Yang said giving off a yawn. Blake nodded her head and took a pair of pyjamas out of her bag. Ruby nodded in defeat and reached for her bag as Weiss walked out of the room to go change. Blake stood up to go change too. Yang started to change in the room. Ruby didn't find this weird, the sisters had to share a room in Patch and would often change while the other was in the room. To keep their privacy, they wouldn't look at each other. Ruby began to change too, she pulled her top off and took out her pyjama top. She slipped the tank top on and slipped her skirt off and pulled her pyjama bottoms on. he did this as Weiss walked back into the room just after she pulled her bottoms on.

"Jeez Weiss, you changed fast." Yang said as she pulled her hair across her shoulder in order to take a pin out.

"Well, I have had lots of practice." Weiss said successfully dropping the conversation and sitting down on her bed. Blake walked into the room silently and put her cloths away.

"Good night you guys." Yang said as she lay back on her pillow.

"Night." Blake said tucking herself in

"Good night" Weiss said turning off the lights. She walked over to her bed and sat down.

"Have a good rest everyone" Ruby said giving off an exhausted yawn.

Ruby woke up at the crack of dawn to find Blake reading in her bed.

"Hey Blake, how are you this morning?" Ruby asked softly.

"I'm alright how about you?" Blake smiled marking and closing her new book.

"Good. yeah I'm good." Ruby flustered; Blake smiled at her teammate.

Blake turned to the bed behind her to see Yang start to wake up.

"Good morning Yang." Ruby smiled at her groggy sister.

"Hey Ruby." She said getting out of bed.

Ruby had shaken off the effects of sleep and checked around the room for some source of quiet entertainment.

"Should we decorate the room?" Ruby asked trying to strike up a conversation with one of her teammates.

"We should probably wait for Weiss to wake up first." Blake pointed out. Ruby had nearly forgotten about the heiress that was still in a peaceful slumber.

"What time is it?" Yang asked lying back down on her bed.

"It's about six thirty." Blake said standing up to go put her book away. Weiss was starting to stir in her bed indicating that she was about to wake up.

"Well, I don't think we will have to wait much longer for her." Yang said gesturing toward the heiress.

Weiss raised her arms over her face and made a big stretch to wake herself up.

"Good morning Ruby." Weiss said after giving off a yawn.

"'Morning~." Ruby sang happily.

"So what's the plan, team leader." Weiss mocked her.

Ruby wasn't fazed by the comment at all.

"Well now that you're awake we can get started on our first order of business." Ruby said hopping out of bed to go get her bag.

"And that is?" Weiss questioned.

"Decorating." Yang stated pulling out a poster from her bag.

"Alright." Weiss said walking over to her bag. "But please let me get ready for the day first." she added.

"Okay, we will all get changed into our school stuff and then come back here and get started." Ruby said looking at each of her teammates. The team agreed and all set off to go get changed into their school uniforms. After about five minutes the entire team was back into the room. Yang pulled out a poster and looked for an area to hang it.

"Just saying, we should probably get all the furniture set up first." Blake stated looking at the space that they had to work with.

"Okay" Ruby said agreeing with her teammate. The team had moved the desks into the two corners and the beds on the other two. They started arranging the room but the one thing they couldn't get to fit were the beds.

"This isn't working" Weiss stated crossing her arms.

"It is a bit cramped." Blake said in agreement.

"Maybe we should ditch some of our stuff." Yang suggested

"We could do that." Ruby started; her eyes widened because of an idea that she had thought of. "Or, we could ditch the beds, and replace them with cool bunk beds!" Ruby exclaimed happily.

"Um, that seems incredibly dangerous." Weiss said in a concerned tone.

"And super awesome!" Yang agreed happily.

"I does seem efficient." Blake stated.

"I guess, but how are we going to do it?" Weiss asked trying to turn her teammates away from the idea coyly.

"I have an idea or two" Blake said pulling out some rope from her bag

"Where did you even get that?" Ruby asked in partial disbelief

"Brought it for emergencies." Blake said smiling to her partner.

"What kind of emergencies?" Weiss asked with an eyebrow raised

"Doesn't matter, let's do this." Blake said immediately killing the conversation. They had managed to suspend a bed over another bed in a few short minutes. The only problem now was the other bed; Blake came up with another solution though. Taking a good chunk of her books from her bag and a few from the other teammates bags, they managed to place the bed on top of the books that were on the posts of the bed underneath. The four students walked back to look at their creation.

"I swear to god that if that bed falls on me in the night, I will kill you guys." Weiss threatened in a deeper voice while pointing a finger at the three of them mincingly.

"Whelp, I guess that it's breakfast time now, let's head to the cafeteria and eat." The blonde brawler said raising a fist in the air to show her excitement.

"I'm in." Ruby stated

"Me too." Weiss agreed in a lowly manner.

"Let's go." Blake said. With that the members from team RWBY rushed out of the dorm room.

Unfortunately, it appeared that team JNPR had the exact same idea at the exact same time. The two teams went rushing into the hallway right into one another and landed with a big crash.

"What happened?" Ruby said trying to shake off the impact. Ruby stood up from the impact and helped her partner up. Yang helped Weiss up onto her feet as well. With both teams back on their feet they proceeded to the cafeteria where team STRM was waiting for them.

"Well, if it isn't team RWBY and team JNPR, how are you guys doing." The faunus asked happily eating an apple.

"Aside from a bump on the head from this morning, everything's fine." Ruby said sitting down.

"What happened?" Mag asked with a smile.

"We'll go get food first, then we will tell you guys the story." Blake said tapping ruby on the shoulder indicating her to go.

"Good idea Blake." Ruby agreed standing up. JNPR and RWBY went up to the counter to go get breakfast. Once they received their food, they made their way back to the table. The two teams sat down and started eating.

"So, what happened?" Rusty said holding back a smile; failing badly too. Ruby and Jaune did most of the talking for their teams. Blake and Ren cleared up some of the things that they said when the two messed up, but the two kept on track relatively. Rusty was basically laughing his ass of while there were chuckles from everyone else.

"How the heck did you guys run out of your dorm rooms at the exact same time?" Steel asked setting down his piece of toast.

"I don't know." Squealed Jaune slightly which earned a snicker from Nora who was sitting across to him.

"What time is it?" Weiss asked as she trimmed her nails.

"I think it's time to go to class because we need to be there in about seven minutes." Ren stated. All three teams looked at each other and ran to put their trays away. They sprinted out of the cafeteria. With time ticking, they kept running for the classrooms.

"What do we have?" Blake asked barely breaking a sweat as they ran into the schooling building.

"Um, um, oh, Grimm studies." Ruby stuttered.

The teams all ran into the classroom with only 10 seconds left on the clock.

"You're lucky we aren't late, Ruby." Weiss sneered as they sat down.

"Hello, and welcome to Grimm studies. My name is professor Port." The large professor stated, then cleared his throat. "Monsters, demons, prowlers of the night. Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I simply refer to them as prey!" He said with enthusiasm.

"Now then, who can tell me what the main, or basic creatures of Grimm are?" The professor asked looking around for hands. A few were raised including from Weiss and Blake. He pointed at Blake.

"Yes, Ms...?" He questioned

"Belladonna, sir." She answered.

"Alright Ms. Belladonna, what is the answer? The professor asked with some enthusiasm

"The main or original Grimm were discovered as follows; Beowolf, Ursa, Boarbatusk, Deathstalker, and Nevermore. Some also argue that the King Taijitu is one of the originals as well." Blake answered

"Well done, Ms. Belladonna." Port congratulated "And this is where we come in. Huntsmen, huntresses." He said giving a wink that seemed to be directed to Yang. "It is us against them."

"Sir, I'm sure many of us already know this." Weiss stated gaining the favour of most of the class.

"I take it that you are Ms. Schnee, am I correct?" The professor asked raising an eyebrow: Weiss gave a nod indicating that he was correct. "Well then, shall we see how much you really know in a combat scenario?" The professor asked pointing out a cage in the corner of the room.

"Alright, I accept." Weiss said bluntly and stood up to take the floor. She readied Myrtenaster and signalled Port that she was ready.

"Your goal is to kill the creature." Port stated. "Let the match begin!"

Port took his Blunderbuss out and cut the lock on the cage. The Boarbatusk inside gave a low snort and charged at Weiss. Weiss jumped to the side and slashed at the creature. The attack from Myrtenaster seemed to simply bounce off of the beast. The boar turned to charge Weiss again. Weiss readied herself and tried the same attack as last time but it still had no effect.

"Weiss, go for the belly. There's no armour underneath!" Ruby shouted.

This caused Weiss to become unfocused and the Boarbatusk charged. It rammed Weiss in the stomach obviously knocking the wind out of her. Weiss slowly got up and noticed the boar charging again. She cast a glyph in front of her to block the attack. The plan worked all too well. The Boarbatusk ran straight into the glyph and bounced off of it onto it's back. Weiss used this advantage and cast another glyph behind her. She jumped onto and off of the glyph and skewered the Boarbatusk in the belly. Weiss looked at her kill and stood up.

"Well done Ms. Schnee." Port said giving her a pat on the shoulder

"Thank you sir." She said clutching her stomach where the boar had hit her.

She walked back to her desk and let the professor carry on with his lesson. Some time and passed but the spot where the Boarbatusk hit Weiss was still stinging.

"Weiss, are you okay." Blake asked quietly noticing the heiress' pain.

"I'll be fine, Blake." Weiss stated quiet enough so that the professor didn't hear their conversation.

As the class carried on, the pain in Weiss's stomach only got worse.

"Alright that's all we have time for today. I would like to thank Ms. Schnee for the combat demonstration today." The professor said and ended the class. When Weiss tried to get up, the pain stung like a bee. The pain overwhelmed her and caused her to fall over.

"Weiss?" Ruby asked concerned for her teammate.

"I'm fine." Weiss stated denying the actual pain she was experiencing

"let me take a look." Steel suggested.

"Fine" Weiss sneered at the faunus boy.

Steel touched her shoulder and searched her body for any pain she would be experiencing. When he found her problem, Steel flared his aura letting his semblance work on her.

"There, better?" Steel asked calmly as Weiss tried standing up again.

"Yeah, better." Weiss confirmed as she got back up on her feet.

"Good, that poison the Boarbatusk gave you was hard to cleanse." Steel said between breaths.

He had tired himself out due to over usage of his aura. The three teams continued walking toward their next class quietly. That was until Rusty broke the silence.

"Oh my god, can we talk about something, the quiet is killing me!" He exclaimed giving off an annoyed expression.

"Uh, okay." Steel agreed not knowing how to strike up the conversation.

"So what makes you guys special?" Ruby asked bluntly

"Do you mean what's our semblances?" Mag asked

"Yeah!" Ruby said excitedly " My semblance is speed."

"Well, you've already seen mine. I can heal myself or other people's physical injuries. It also allows me to cure most poisons." Steel said proudly looking at Weiss.

"I can teleport short distances." Mag said quietly trying to avoid the conversation.

"That's awesome!" Ruby said happily

"That's overpowered." Rusty exaggerated

"Not really, if I teleport to far or too often, it can knock me out." Mag explained

"Okay, less overpowered." Rusty agreed.

Mag rolled her eyes at him and then allowed the conversation to continue.

"What about you Teal?" Steel asked his teammate.

"I can see people's auras, I can also see creatures without an aura." Teal said moving on with the conversation.

"Does it work through walls." Blake asked curiously

"Yeah, it comes in handy if we need a quick getaway." Teal replied

"Well I can create a small energy shield" Rusty said holding himself with high praise.

"Why didn't you use it in the forest when we were being attacked?" Steel asked. The question caught Rusty off guard

"It is hard to make, and even harder to keep up once I do make it." Rusty answered.

With that, the bell rang signalling the start of their next class. The two teams took off to the next room where Glynda Goodwitch was standing.

"Welcome to combat class." She said addressing all the students who were in the room.

"This ought to be fun." Rusty whispered to Ruby.

Ruby smiled and continued to listen to the presentation

"Now then, why don't we have a sparring round." She said catching everyone in the class off guard. Goodwitch pulled out a tablet and looked on a list for the people attending the class.

"Let's see here, Ms. Ryder Pennyworth from team JSTR and Ms. Magenta Jasny from team STRM." she stated.

A girl stood up and walked down to the combat floor. Mag did the same and stood opposite from the girl. She had black hair with silver streaks in it, and was holding two machete designed weapons. She had green eyes a bit darker than Pyrrha's. The girl readied her two machetes and went into her combat stance. Mag equipped Trick Fouet in its katana form and went into her combat stance, The two girls waited for Goodwitch to give the word to attack. Goodwitch gave the word and the other girl rushed Mag with everyone watching.

A:N: There you have it, chapter nine. I would like to thank the YouTuber JAC OneManBand for letting me use team JSTR (Jester) in my fan fiction. Go check him out if you haven't already done so and check him out. He does a ton of RWBY things such as breakdowns and in-depth looks into the RWBY universe, as well as a bunch of other things that I'm sure you guys will love. Before I go, I would just like to let you guys know that I have drawn up the weapons and I will post them shortly. That is enough of my rambling, I hope to see you guys and many more in the next one.

Yang: Can I go to sleep now? So many boring words

Me: Hey! I'm doing my best here.

Steel: Well, your best is the best you can do.

Rusty: Get a beta reader

Me: I have one, thank you rwbyfan5.

Mag: That backfired didn't it

Rusty: Pft

Me: Man, we have so much work to do.
