Naruto blinked around as everything seemed to go from calm, to mad crazy in one minute. You had Pyrrah getting chased by a giant Deathstalker, you had Ruby and Weiss hanging onto a Nevermore for dear life, Cardin wasn't contributing at all. Jaune was still recovering in the tree, Ren was out of breath and…Nora…Nora was currently looking around and wondering what she should do.

Then, Ruby and Weiss fell from the heavens as The Nevermore managed to shake them off.

Naruto went to catch Weiss, only for Jaune to catch her, he watched as Jaune seemingly floated in the air for moment. The blonde then stifled laughter when Jaune fell straight down, with Weiss on top of him, "at least I saved you."

"My hero," Weiss rolls her eyes before she gets off him, "well this could've gone a lot smoother."

Naruto stood there with Rexy, "well, what now?"

"Alright everyone, calm down before I lose it!" Naruto heard Yang scream as she had golden aura flail about her body, her eyes turning red instead of her lilac.

Ruby and Blake stood beside Yang while Weiss walked over to where Ren and Nora was. Naruto leapt in front of them to catch Pyrrah when she was caught with a blow from the giant Deathstalker. "Mind if I play hero?"

Pyrrah chuckled as she got out of Naruto's arms and watched as Rexy walked besides him. The Giant Nevermore and Deathstalker soon were joined by an Armor Grimm just as big as the Deathstalker.

"What the hell do they feed these things…" Naruto gasps, "these things are far bigger than any Grimm I've fought."

"Oh, suddenly The Grimm Lover is scared?" Cardin questions as he walks besides Naruto.

Naruto smiles as he places his hand on Bahuubali, "no Cardin," his aura flares around and having a slight tinge of red at the tips. "I'm excited."

"I've got this!" Someone shouted as they ran forwards, it was Ruby.

Naruto watched as she dashed at full speed before becoming a single rose petal and nearly getting to the Grimm before she was knocked away. "Ruby!" Yang screams and dashed towards her sister.

Naruto looked at Cardin, before noticing him locked in place, before dashing towards Ruby himself. The blonde watched as Rexy followed him, "Bastion!" Naruto yells as he claps both of his hands together as he sees the Nevermore and Giant Armor come towards them.

Ruby dashed backwards, but when she came to look up, she saw that she had dashed right where a bunch of Nevermore feathers were flying. "Not like this!" She screams and attempts to shield herself only for a large dome of wood to come around her.

She heard the feathers impact the dome just as Weiss got to her, "you alright?"

"Yeah, but why is the earth shaking?" Ruby asks, "oh crap…"

Naruto jumped over the wooden dome, engaging the Armor Grimm before noting the appearance of the armored Grimm. It was old and rusted, it's glowing red eyes filled with rage and need of blood. Naruto kicked the Armored Grimm's giant mace away with a powerful roundhouse as he leapt at it.

"Moon Shatter!" Naruto screams as he impacts the Armor Grimm, before noticing it recoil from the punch.

However, Naruto was stunned when the Armor Grimm spun around before backhanding him across the clearing and into a tree. Rexy ran into a small opening in the dome and grabbed both Ruby and Weiss before retreating as an Ice Wall saved him from being impaled by The Giant Deathstalker and at least holding that thing down for a moment.

Naruto was dazed as he got up, before seeing Rexy dash over to him with Ruby and Weiss riding him, "Mas…ter…are…you…okay?"

Naruto nodded, wiping his lip, "we need a plan…"

Ruby and Weiss got off, both of them seeing Blake and Yang to struggle shooting at the Giant Nevermore.

Jaune came running over to him, "dude, are you okay!"

"Yeah, I'm fine, but we need a plan…there's three Grimm here that are at best made for expert Hunters to handle…" Naruto scrunched his fists up, "I'm drained from doing Moon Demon earlier."

"Oh crap, here it comes!" Jaune yells as he looks up to see The Giant Armor coming towards them.

Only for them to Nora fire several grenades at it, "get-away-from-my-friend-jerk!"

It turned around, attempting to hit her, until Weiss and Ruby ran over to her side and began to lay down a hail of bullets and ice separately.

"Naruto…I have an idea." Jaune says as he looks at Nora, "it'll be easier if Cardin gets involved…wait…where is Cardin?"

Naruto looked at the temple, seeing that he was gone. "He ran away…" Naruto scrunched his fists up tighter before he got up. "That…cowardly…"

Naruto's aura exploded out as the red aura formed more inside of the blue, he roared out as he charged up as much as possible. "Jaune…what's the damn plan!"

His aura flowed around him like a flame, he glared right at The Armor Grimm just as it managed to knock everyone away.

"That Armor Grimm is the balanced threat, its fast enough to keep up with us but slow enough to be countered. That Nevermore is a true threat, we'll need people with ranged weapons to take it on. Yang, Blake, Ruby, and Snow Princess could do it."

"Snow princess?" Naruto questions, before chuckling. "Nice pet name for Weiss, Jaune. I got a favor to ask you, see that crown on Rexy's head…can you give that to Weiss…I think that belongs to her."

Jaune nodded, taking the crown, "right."

"Now, get that brain of yours working lover boy!" Naruto announces as he clasps his hands together and begins to flow more aura out of him, preparing to go all out.

"Haha…thanks, maybe I'll get a shot after this is all set in done." Jaune rubbed the back of his head as Naruto looked around. "I can distract the Armor Grimm and you all can run towards that tower over there…it had a small bridge to where it'll keep other Grimm from being able to join in."

"Good one Naruto, I'll tell the others to go there." Jaune ran off as Naruto took a very large steps forwards towards the Armor Grimm.

Naruto's aura disappeared as he absorbed it into himself, leaving him without the passive protection. However, doing so, Naruto felt his body gain more power as he dashed forwards. Rexy was right behind as they dashed towards the large Grimm.

The blonde jumped up as the Grimm slammed its mace into the ground, before he spun around midair and slammed his right leg into the Armor head. The thundering sound from the impact flooded the area as The Grimm was toppled over.

Rexy came from above, "Moon…sha…tter!" the Beowulf screams as he slams his own hand onto the Grimm's stomach

"You're mine!" Naruto screams as he draws his fist back, before hitting The Grimm in the face, "Dual Moon Shatter!"

Rexy was thrown off in a surprisingly, almost robotic fashion, by the Armor Grimm.

The Grimm got up, throwing Naruto off with a roar, before the blonde teen dispersed his aura around his body again to help him land. Naruto roared out as well as he charged with Rexy, "Mokuton!" Naruto screams makes several large branches emerge and slam into the Armored Grimm and made it stumble backwards.

Rexy ran up the branches, slashing at the Armor with claws, attempting to rip holes into it without success. Naruto ran up and jumped off the branches before they splintered.

"Rexy, Dual Moon Shatter!" Naruto yells as he jumps up, channeling a lot of his aura in his right fist.

The aura grew on his right arm as he channeled the red aura, before he spun around once to gather momentum. "Ha!" Naruto roared as he and Rexy came to be side by side before the two slammed their fists into the top of The Grimm and sent it sprawling into the ground.

Naruto landed on the Armor Grimm before being knocked away before he could stab it, his aura exploded around his body as he crashed into a tree to block some of the damage. He got up, before brushing himself. The Armor Grimm slammed its mace into the ground before charging at Naruto, the blonde easily dodged a strike when the Grimm tried to uppercut him with the mace.

Spinning around, Naruto tripped The Grimm with a hard kick into its left leg. He landed on top of it before stabbing into its chest with Bahuubali and pulling it out. The Armor Grimm roared out before attempting to get up.

As he was about to jump, Naruto took Bahuubali and slashed it a couple of more times at the Grimm without it doing any damages. "Damn it…" Naruto growls as he kicks back down into the ground.

Naruto took note as the other teens started to form up and join to take on the other targets, before he jumped from The Armor Grimm and landed while skidding backwards a little bit. The blonde watched as several other Grimm came running into the clearing, the blonde sighs as he sheathed Bahuubali, "The Moon Is Rising." He calmly says as he places his hand on the hilt of the blade.

Removing it as his aura flowed upwards into the sword, extending it slightly. "Watch as The Moon Breaks The Sky…Hidden Behind The World."

Naruto held his sword up, channeling his aura into it, before watching the large Armor Grimm get up. Naruto took a step forwards before slowly spinning on his right heel clockwise, "Red Full Moon!" Naruto yells as he launches a red colored wind slash from his sword.

The slash impacted all the Grimm as they charged, splitting them in half, save for the Armor Grimm which stood there unaffected. "Mokuton!" Naruto screams sheaths Bahuubali before slamming his hands down, "Deep Forest Emergence!"

Branches erupted around The Grimm only for Naruto watch it turn around and break them apart with its mace, Naruto growls as he slashes Bahuubali a few more times before noticing the wind bouncing off the armor.

The Grimm started to charge, but that's when Naruto saw several arrows fly towards it and impact it with explosions. The blonde looked to see the source of the arrows was a stunning black-haired teen with golden eyes, she pulled the nonexistent string back before launching another dust arrow at it.

"You look like you could use help," the teen says as she walks over to Naruto.

"Wow," Naruto looks at her before nodding, "thanks…um…"

"Cinder." Cinder greets him, "and my partner should be here…now."

Naruto watched as chains came around the arms of The Grimm from a kusarigama-gun combo, a green haired girl stood before slamming both blades into the ground and detaching the guns. She began to fire a barrage of bullets.

Naruto watched as Cinder kept laying down suppressing fire with her bow, before looked at Naruto, nudging with her head. "Right!" Naruto yells as he reverses grip on Bahuubali, "Rexy!"

Rexy landed next to Naruto, "rip and tear…until it is done!" Naruto orders his friend as he Rexy nods and charges.

The Beowulf charged before leaping up onto the head of the Armored Grimm, the wolf Grimm gripped its helmet and lifted it up. When the Grimm attempted to reach for Rexy, it was hit by several more dust arrows and the green haired girl held back its arms with chains.

Naruto roared out as he charged the last bit of aura he could freely use, he charged as fast he could, before leaping upwards and spinning around. "Half Moon!" Naruto screams and slashes at The Grimm just as Rexy lets go to jump off.

The Grimm roared out before its head came off, coming crashing into the ground as Naruto landed right next to it. His red eyes becoming blue as he took knee and breathed heavily. "Hell yeah…" Naruto watched as Rexy landed next to him, and bumped fists with him.

Naruto was breathing heavily as Cinder and her partner walked towards him, "not bad moves out there…we've been watching you for a good few minutes. Is that Grimm your partner?"

"No, an orange haired coward is, he ran." Naruto says as he gets up, Rexy dipping his head to forcefully to get Naruto to mount him. "Thanks bud."

Naruto watched as The Grimm dispersed into black smoke, before laying against Rexy, "now I'm empty."

Cinder walked up to Naruto, before looking at him, she noticed a single black vein slowly retreating near his right eye. "Emerald, this is our new friend." Cinder tells her, "what's your name…bro?"

"Hahaha…didn't know you were my sister…hahaha…Naruto." Naruto lightly chuckles, "thanks for the save Cinder…and you too Emerald."

The girl lightly waived him off, "well, we better get going…sounds like the others won their battle."

"Oh, that's great…what a relief." Naruto lays back onto Rexy before sighing out as he looked at them.


A lot of the students from the launchpads had made it back, with very few not. Naruto watched as Jaune and his team were being sworn in. "Good job Jaune!" Naruto cheers as he fists pumps, "you really saved our butts out there!"

Jaune nods as he looks at his team as they walk off the stage.

"Next up, Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao-Long, Blake Belladonna, and Weiss Schnee." The four girls stepped up and looked at Ozpin. "You four have succeeded in joining in our ranks here in Beacon, your teamwork is commendable, and you have my praise. You will form Team R.W.B.Y(Ruby), under the leadership of Ruby Rose."

"Oh, my little sis is our troop leader~" Yang hugged her sister, making her blush in embarrassment.

"Yang!" Wails Ruby childish, "crushing...me."

"May you continue to surge forwards here in Beacon, now for the next team." Ozpin pulled out his scroll, "will Cardin Winchester please step forward."

Cardin stepped forwards, and looked around.

"Russel Thrush."

Russel came walking from the crowd, and stood by Cardin.

"Dove Bronzewing."

Dove Bronzewing came walking from the crowd, bumping against Jaune during the process, much to the blonde's irritation.

"Last, but not least," Ozpin watched as Naruto got onto the stage, rather with a sour look on his face, "um…Mr. Namikaze…what are you doing?"

"Um, well Cardin's my partner, right?" Naruto asks.

"Um, no, actually you're not." Ozpin states as Naruto and everyone looked confused.

Naruto and Cardin had been both complaining nonstop about each other since the walk back to Beacon, and Naruto straight up calling Cardin a coward in front of everyone didn't help Ozpin's case. The blonde teen stood there, confused, before watching another teen with a green mullet walk up to the stage.

This teen a had a meek appearance, but he held a large sword on his back, "Mr. Lance Peridot is Cardin's partner…he was the first untaken living being Cardin laid eyes on."

"What, no, it was Naruto!" Cardin yells, "how was it not?!"

"Rexy Namikaze," The Grimm looked up from the crowd and all of them turned to him, "are you alive?"

The crowd turned, stunned, as Rexy the only Grimm in Beacon looked at Ozpin, confused.

Rexy looked at Naruto, "don't rely on Naruto answer for you…are you alive?" Ozpin asks as he crossed his arms.

Naruto looked at Rexy, before the Grimm stood up on its hind legs, "I'm alive…I…feel…emo…tions…friend…ship…my…friend…Na…ru…to…taught…me…life. Life…can…not…be…taken…for…gran…ted…it…is…gift…gift…that…few…have…pleasure…of…knowing."

"Then its settled," Ozpin turned to Cardin, "You, Russel, Dove, and Lance here will form Team C.R.D.L(Cardinal), led by you Cardin. I expect very high expectations from you."

Ozpin watched as Cardin walked off, in disgust as the school had recognized Rexy as a student instead of just some pet or servant. "Naruto Namikaze, Rexy Namikaze, Cinder Fall, and Emerald Sustrai." Ozpin smiles, "please step forwards."

Naruto watched as the two he met from earlier, and his best friend walked forwards.

"Now let me be quite clear," Ozpin voice came to light, "a sentient being deserves just as much respect as a Faunus or Human. Humanity is hard-pressed in times of strife and battle. Therefore, Rexy will be considered living, a student, and a living being inside my walls. I do mean my walls, for here, my word is law."

"Team C.E.R.N(Cerulean), led by Cinder Fall." Ozpin announces much to everyone's surprise, "I do expect nothing but the best from you four. Now, this concludes team ceremonies, please retire to your assigned dorms."


Naruto walked with his team, Rexy looked at Naruto, before Naruto looked at him. "Did…I really teach you life?"

"Mas…ter…Rexy…learned…be…cause…he…felt…your…emo…tions." Rexy brushed his head against Naruto, "we…are…bro…thers…in…arms."

Naruto smiled as he rubbed the back of his head, before Cinder turned to him, "that is an interesting ability you have…to make friends with a Grimm."

"Oh, thanks…I'm sorry you're stuck with me. Prepare to get teased a lot hahaha," Naruto laughs, "Cinder, right?"

"Yes," Cinder turns to him, "what is it?"

"Do you like Dragon Crystal," Naruto asks, "I heard it's going to be on TV tonight."

Emerald laughed slightly, "Cinder…how old is this guy…sounds almost like a child."

"Hey, excuse me missy, I'm sixteen. I like animated shows and movies, sue me." Naruto states as he crossed his arms, "besides…what do you like?"

"Tea, reading, a good fight." Emerald says.

"Oh, well, I like coffee…but I love a good fight." Naruto points out, "I was mostly all happy and stuff against that one Armor Grimm. Yikes, we were getting really pressured though!"

"Haha, well, luckily we arrived when we did." Cinder told him before stopping at door with the number nine on the front, "and home sweet home."

Cinder opened the door to see that there were four beds, with little room, "oh dear…we're a little short on room."

"Holy crap its huge!" Naruto yells as he runs in, "this was bigger than my apartment in Vacuo!"

Naruto and Emerald looked at each other, "did you say Vacuo?"

"Yeah."
"I'm Vacuo City, you?"
"Same, The Slums."
"Me too!"

Naruto and Emerald beamed smiles at each other, "well let's get renovations going. I say we take my bed and build a double bed for me and Rexy. You know…uh…"

"Bunk Bed?"
"Yep!"

"You got any tools?" Emerald asks.

"Nope," Naruto clapped his hands together, "I got something much better."


Weiss was currently walking towards her dorm; her hair was still a mess. "Can't believe I lost my tiara because of you."

"I said I was sorry, besides it's just a tiara." Ruby complains.

"It was a gift from my grandfather you dunce!" Weiss almost yells, but hammers in the point.

"Hey," Yang yells, "back off my sister!"

"I'm sorry, it's just…it holds a lot of value to me." Weiss says, "it was one of his last gifts to me."

"Oh…well, I'm sure someone will find it."
"No, it was lost in Emerald Forest, someone would have to brave Grimm to get it."

Jaune walks towards them with his team, Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose, "what do you want Jaune?"

"I'm here looking for Dorm Number Fifteen, this is it, you?"
"Dorm Number Sixteen…crap."
"Hey, we're neighbors Weiss. Oh, Naruto found this in the forest."
"If it some weird type of flower, then you can keep it."
"It's actually this crown thingy."

Weiss's eyes lit up, she snatched the tiara out of Jaune's hands, "my tiara! Why…why is there black fur on it?"

"Oh, yeah, I could've sworn Rexy was wearing it for a moment." Jaune shrugs, "well see you around Snow Princess."

Weiss stood there, elation turned to both anger and happiness, somehow, she found a medium in between.
