"Helloooo? Is anyone out there? Helloooo?" Yang yelled walking around, searching for anyone that can be her new partner. It would be lovely if she could partner up with Ruby. "I'm getting bored here." She said, before hearing rustling in bushes behind her. "Is someone there?" She asked as she turned to face the bushes. She walked over to the bushes and took take a peek. "Ruby? Is that you?" She asked before hearing a beast snarling. "Nope." Yang said, where she then dodged by rolling to the left side before a large bear Grimm charged out of the bushes and trying to bite out of her.
She activated her yellow gauntlets called Ember Celica before seeing another bear Grimm who charged her from behind. She shoots the round by making a dodge from the attack before Grimm hit her.
"You guys wouldn't happen to have seen a girl in the red hood would you?" Yang asked as two Grimm are growling at her. "Could just say no." One of the Ursa charged her, taking a swipe at her, but Yang dodged the attack by back flipping. "Geez you two couldn't hit the broadside of a ba-"
Yang said before stopped the sentence as she sees a single blond hair of hers, falls in front of her and lands on the ground. "You…" Two Ursa looked at each other in confusion when they saw Yang's eyes are red. "You monsters!" She screamed in anger as her aura flares out before she charged forward. She shot a barrage to increase her speed before she delivered Ursa a combo of fire punches with gauntlets. She gave it a powerful punch into its stomach and sent the Ursa through the trees.
The last Ursa is charging at Yang as she turned around and glared at the bear. "What you want some too?!" She screamed in rage before hearing a sword noise. The Ursa collapse down because someone sneaks attacked from behind. It was Blake, the one who killed it for her. She killed the Ursa with Kusarigama, but it can also transform into sword mode.
Blake pulled her weapon and sheath on her own back before smirked at Yang. Yang gave Blake a few second before she spoke. "I could have taken him."
With the staff members
"It seems like Yang and Blake are a team." Glynda said, with me nodding as I looked over the cliff side, watching them with my aura.
'I can feel them, all of them.' I thought, as I had never been able to do so before. 'My aura is growing, becoming even stronger than it was before.' I thought, narrowing my eyes at the forest. 'Show me what they can do.'
With Weiss
Weiss slid back from being hit by Beowolf, but she managed to block it on time. There were a lot of Beowolves around her, she was surrounded. She can't just rush and attack now without thinking. She has to concentrate on targeting the enemy. All she has to do is, head up, shoulders back, right forward. She's slowed her breathing as she waits for the right time to strike before switching Myrtenaster revolving chamber into the rud dust.
Her rapier, or Myrtenaster, has a revolving chamber inside the guard, which has six slots in total, each of which contains a vial of Dust. The revolving chamber is constantly stocked with red, cyan, violet, white, yellow, and blue Dust.
"And now!" Weiss said charged forward at the Beowolf with an insane slide speed like ice skate. Before her Myrtenaster could strike at its heart, Ruby was in her way, slicing at the Beowolf. Weiss stopped her attack, but her Myrtenaster shoots out of the fire and created a line of fire towards the tree. Ruby looked at the tree that caught fire, but she got hit by another Beowolf's claw as she pushed back and bumped into Weiss.
"Hey, watch it!" Ruby yelled.
Weiss gritted teeth at Ruby for not knowing she almost die before she spoke. "Excuse me, you attacked out of turn! I could have killed you!"
"You'll have to try a lot harder than that." Ruby said looking at the group of Beowolf's. Ruby changed her empty magazine into a new one. She pulled the bolt action as she prepared to fight. Weiss stepped closer to Ruby, but she sees the burning tree fall down, catching more on fire.
Weiss grabbed Ruby's hand. "We have to go!" She said as she pulled Ruby away from burning forest and the Beowolf's.
Few minutes later
Weiss and Ruby made it out from the burning forest. If they fought the Beowolf's in that forest, they would be dead. But...there's one problem that made Ruby angry. "What was that!? That should've been easy!" Ruby asked in anger.
Weiss turned around to her and yelled. "Well, perhaps if you had exercised even the slightest amount of caution with the placement of your strikes, I wouldn't have set the forest on fire!"
Ruby scoffed at that. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"I'm just surprised that someone who talked so much, would communicate so little during an encounter." Weiss said in annoyance
"Well, I'm sorry that you need my help to win a fight. I'm just fine on my own!" Ruby said as she crossed her arms.
"Well, congratulations on being the strongest child to sneak your way into Beacon, bravo." Weiss insulted, where she then turned and walked straight to another part of the forest, where Ruby got mad at her, and sliced one of the trees down. As they left, a giant feather gently floats down through the air and landed on a tree.
With the Staff members
Looking in the direction of an angry presence, I soon felt it dim before vanishing. 'Its still there, so they are not dead.' I thought, before going back to focusing.
With Jaune and Pyrrha
"Did you hear that?" Jaune asked as he had heard an explosion.
"It seems some of our comrades have encountered the enemy." Pyrrha said before pushing the small branches, but she accidentally lets go of the branch and hit Jaune without knowing he was behind her. "Jaune! Sorry." She apologized as she looked down at him.
Jaune's right cheek was cut by the branch. "It's okay. Just a scratch."
Pyrrha looked at Jaune with strange look on her face. "Why didn't you activate your aura?"
"Huh?" Jaune asked, confused.
"Your aura."
With the Staff Members
Opening my eyes, I felt a powerful Aura awaken, and if I had to guess, it was almost as strong as Glynda's. "Our last pair has been formed, sir." Glynda said as I turned to face her. Glynda sees Nora got a partner up with Ren. "Poor boy. I can't possibly imagine those two getting along." She said with me seeing the two from the locker room. "Still, he's probably better off than Ms. Nikos. I don't care what his transcripts say, that Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat. I guess we'll find out soon enough. At their current pace, they should reach the temple within just a few minutes." She said before she walked over to Ozpin. "Speaking of which, what did you use as relic this year? Professor Ozpin?"
With Ruby and Weiss
"It's definitely this way. I mean… this way! It's definitely this way. Alright, it's official, we passed it!" Weiss said as she tried to find the direction of the abandoned temple after they ran away from burning forest.
Ruby is just sat there, cross-legged, doing nothing. She believed that both of them were lost, and Weiss has no idea where they were going. "Why can't you just admit that you have no idea where we're going?" Ruby asked before she got up.
"Because I know exactly where we're going! We're going to…" Weiss took few walks before she guessed. "the Forest temple!" Ruby scoffed off and don't believe her that direction is a right. "Oh, stop it! You don't know where we are either."
Ruby turned around to face her. "Well at least I'm not pretending like I know everything!"
"What is that supposed to mean?" Weiss asked.
"It means you're a big stupid jerk and I hate you!"
"Just keep moving."
Ruby started to imitate Weiss. "Oh, just keep moving! Hurry up! Wah, watch where you're going! Why are you so bossy?"
"I'm not bossy! Don't say things like that."
"Stop treating me like a kid!"
"Stop acting like a kid!"
"Well, stop acting like you're perfect!"
"I'm not perfect! Not yet, but I'm still leagues better than you." Weiss said with a smirk, before heading where the temple was.
"You don't even know me…" Ruby said with a soft voice, her feeling hurt a bit before following after her.
With Yang
Yang, and Blake made it out of the forest, and found the abandoned temple like Professor Ozpin said. The place of the temple seems to mostly consist of the broken ruins of a rotunda. "Think this is it?" Yang asked before the two girls walked down on the hill. Once they reached the temple, they saw gold and black chess pieces on the stone columns.
"Chess pieces?" Blake asked observing the black chess, and sees some of the chess were missing. Which means someone must have been here and grabbed the chess before they got here.
"Some of missing!" Yang pointed out to Blake, who nodded. "Looks like we weren't the first ones here, so now what?"
"Well… my guess, we should pick one." Blake answered, where Yang is looking for a right chess that can fit her as she walked. Until now, she saw a golden chess horse. She picked it up and showed it to Blake.
"How about a cute little pony? I like a pony!" She said with a smile on her face. Blake rolled her eyes and walked over to Yang.
With Jaune
"Jaune, I'm not sure this is it…" Pyrrha said walking with Jaune, holding his torch to see it in the dark. What happened was that Pyrrha and Jaune found a cave.
Jaune sighed. "Pyrrha, I made a torch. Could you at least humor me for maybe 5 more feet?"
Unfortunately, Jaune tripped over a rock as his torch dropped on the ground where the fire went out. Pyrrha feels then something alive in this cave. "Do you feel that?"
"Soul crushing regret?" Jaune guessed.
"No, it's… warm." She answered before she sees something a golden glowing over there. It was pretty close to them. All they have to do is walking toward at the glowing.
"That's the relic!" Jaune exclaimed before reaching his arm to catch it, but it moved. "Hey! Bad relic!" He said as he tried to grab it again and again. He then jumped and grabbed it, with him being lifted up soon after.
With Yang and Blake
The two girls heard a girl's scream. "Some girl's in trouble! Blake, do you hear that?!" Yang asked as she looked over at Blake, who was looking up with a bit of a shocked expression. She looked up at the scream that was getting closer. They watched as a girl with black clothes and a red cape... is falling in the sky... It was Ruby.
"Heads up!" Ruby screamed so loud, about to fall down and hit the ground. She could get hurt, if only someone can save her from the sky. A flying Jaune crashed into her, sending them into a tree.
"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake questioned as she didn't expect her to fall from the sky.
With Dakota
'They are in a hard place right now.' I thought, crossing my arms with a smirk. 'Show me what all of you can do.' I thought, holding my head up high, focusing on them.
With the others
"Ruby!" Yang cried.
"Yang!" Ruby cried as she was going to hug her, but surprisingly, a random girl jumped up between them.
"Nora!"
Pyrrha jumped out of a forest and run away from a giant black scorpion. The black scorpion chased her all the way here. "Did she just run all the way here with a Deathstalker on her tail?" Blake asked.
Ruby tapped Yang's shoulder, who looked at her before seeing her pointing her finger at the sky. When everyone looked up at the sky, they saw Weiss, holding a big claw in the sky. It's a giant black Grimm raven that carried Weiss in the sky.
"Is she holding Nevermore's feet?" Blake asked.
After hearing so many questions, Yang suddenly exploded. "I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again?!"
Ren ran all the way from the forest as he finally meets Nora before catching his breath form running. Weiss looked down at people who were watching her. "How could you leave!?"
"I said jump." Ruby said.
"She's gonna fall." Yang said
"She'll be fine." Ruby said
"She's falling." Ren said
Jaune got up from the branches before he sees Weiss is falling. He jumped out of the tree and grabbed Weiss in the air. "Just dropping in?" He asked as he gave his charming smile to Weiss, but actually, he forgot he and Weiss are still in the air. Jaune was the first one who fell on the ground. Then, Weiss fell on stop of Jaune's back.
"My hero…" She said in a sulky voice while checking her nails.
Pyrrha fell in front of the group, almost looking dead. "Great! The gang's all here! Now we can die together!" Yang said.
Ruby turned around at her sister and smirked, "Not if I can help it!" Before she charged after the Deathstalker as she held Crescent Rose.
"Ruby, wait!" Yang yelled.
Ruby shot a bullet from Crescent Rose to boost her speed to hit Deathstalker. But she was hit by its claw. She got up and turned to everyone. "Im fine, don't worry!" She said, but then looked back at the scorpion. Ruby shot several rounds at it with her Crescent Rose, but didn't damage it so she ran away from it.
"Ruby!" Yang yelled as she charged after to save her sister before the Deathstalker killed her. Ruby ran as fast as she can escape from the Deathstalker, but the Nevermore was targeting her too. The Nevermore flapped its wing to shoot out of large feathers like shooting an arrow. The feather arrows miss Ruby, but caught it in her cloak, the other feathers blocked Yang's way. "Ruby, get out of here!"
Ruby tried to pull her cloak out from the feather, but to no success. She sees the Deathstalker raises its golden stinger above her and strike it down to her.
"RUBY!" Yang screamed letting her sister gets kill by Deathstalker before see red cloak dashed past her. Ruby closed her eyes as her arms are used to protect herself, waiting for her death until sting hit her.
With the Staff members
"There." I said, looking over at Glynda as she watched the footage. "She's not ready, impulses like that, will kill the entire team." I said, with her nodding as we watched Weiss save Ruby before talking to her soon after.
"I see what you mean." She said, looking up at Ozpin. "Are you sure that it was a good idea to let her in so early?" She questioned, with him looking at us.
"I see something in her that you two don't, and I'm sure that you will see it as well, soon enough." He said, with me narrowing my eyes at him as we went back to watching the fight.
With the others
"Guys, that thing's circling back. What are we gonna do?" Jaune asked looking at Nevermore.
Weiss walked toward and answered. "Look, there's no sense in dilly-dallying. Our objective is right in front of us."
"She's right. Our mission is to grab an artifact and make it back to the cliffs. There's no point in fighting these things." Ruby said before she sees Weiss smile at her.
"Run and live. That is an idea I can get behind." Jaune said with a nod.
With the Staff members
"As you can see, she is willing to take charge when the situation calls for it." Ozpin said, with me crossing my arms.
"Taking charge isn't worth leadership, or enough to count towards it." I said, looking at him. "You make her a leader, you take responsibility for it, I am saying this from experience-"
"And I am saying it from experience, years of it." Ozpin interrupted, looking up at me. "I trust in my decisions, even if I have made more mistakes than any man on this planet." He said, with me narrowing my eyes at him.
'The term is any man or woman on this planet, so why did he refer to just man?' I thought, looking back at the tablet.
With the others
The gang made it to another part of the abandoned temple. Luckily, they found a big enough place to cover form the Nevermore as it kept shooting its feather. Deathstalker crashed through the forest as it charged after the groups. "Oh, man, run!" Jaune yelled before he and Pyrrha ran toward the bridge.
"Nora!" Ren said as Nora nodded before she stepped out from her cover. She grabbed her grenade launcher, Magnhild, and fired, hitting the Nevermore.
While Nora's was distracting the Nevermore, the Deathstalker attack, before Nora could turned around. Luckily, Blake and Ren stopped the Deathstalker's attack. Weiss then grabbed Nora with her runes to make her jump.
"Go, Go!" Pyrrha said to Jaune before her spear switched into rifle mode and shoots at the Deathstalker. Ren landed next to her and started to fire with Pyrrha. Blake jumped forward with a front flip as the Deathstalker tried to grab them, but missed as they ran.
Eight students of the first year ran across the bridge. At that moment, the Nevermore flew through the bridge as it was ripped right through. Ren, Blake, and Pyrrha were on the bridge where Deathstalker is, where they were forced to take it on. The others, Ruby, Yang, Nora, and Jaune were stuck on the other side of the bridge.
"Man, we gotta get over there! They need help!" Jaune said before he looked at a grinning Nora.
Nora hit him back, then switched her grenade launcher into hammer mode and sent him flying over towards the
Deathstalker by destroying the remaining bridge, then sending her self flying over and smashing it on the head of the Deathstalker, but she sees the stinger going to hit her. She dodged it by fired, but accidently bumped into Blake and making her fall from the edge.
Blake was fired her Gambol Shroud and swung herself up to the Nevermore and started slashing at its back before joining the others. "It's tougher than it looks!" Blake said.
"Let's hit it with everything we got!" Ruby said as all of them fired everything they could at it, but it crashed into them, knocking them down, where they started making their way back to solid ground. Once on solid ground, Ruby looked at Blake's weapon. It has a string when she used Kusarigama mode. Then, she looked at the others. "I have a plan!" Ruby said to Weiss.
At the other bridge, the Deathstalker roared at them as it continued to attack, breaking the bridge. "We gotta move!" Jaune yelled as everyone raced toward Deathstalker.
Pyrrha slid down on the ground as she used her shield to deflect the Deathstalker's claw, then slashed it with her spear. The Grimm stepped back and attacked her with its other claw, but Jaune blocked it for Pyrrha as she jumped over him and slashed at the other claw. Ren ran toward it, firing. The Deathstalker strikes its stinger at Ren, but he sidesteps it and grabbed onto it. He's placed his gun against stinger and started shooting it. Nora charged forward with her hammer transformed into grenades launcher mode before firing the grenades at it.
Seeing Ren get knocked away, Jaune looked at the weakened stinger. "Pyrrha!" Jaune said, looking at said girl who nodded.
"Done!" She said, tossing her shield at it, cutting it off and stabbing the Deathstalker with it as it fell.
"Nora!" Jaune said, with her nodding.
"Heads up!" She said, jumping onto Pyrrha's shield as she caught it, where she sent herself flying into the air, laughing. Coming back down, she smacked the stinger, knocking everyone else over the Deathstalker and the bridge as it collapsed.
Yang stood on top of a pillar as she waited for Nevermore to come at her. She jumped into its beak open as she fired rounds into the crow Grimm's mouth. "I! Hope! You're! Hungry!" She yelled as she fired before looking behind her, she jumps back as the Nevermore crashed into the cliff.
Weiss slid towards the Nevermore as she jumped and stabbed into its tail, freezing it in a place. She falls back to Ruby's group as Blake fired Gambol Shroud in pistol mode over to the pillar with black rope. Yang caught it and stabbed it into her pillar. Ruby jumped onto it while sitting on Crescent Rose as the black rope stretch back, and Weiss went behind her. She turned her white runes into the black.
"Of course, you would come up with this idea." Weiss said.
"Think you can make the shot?" Ruby asked
"Hmph. Can I?" Weiss asked, smirking.
Ruby's was little worried at her question. "Can-"
"Of course I can!" Weiss yelled.
Ruby smiled at Weiss and looked back at the Nevermore as she loaded her rounds in Crescent Rose before she was launched with such speed that it cracked the ground. She continued shooting her rounds, boosting herself towards the Nevermore. Her Crescent Rose caught into its neck and slammed into the wall.
Weiss used Myrtenaster and made a line of white runes up the wall for Ruby to run up. Ruby insanely ran along the white runes, firing all the way until she reached the cliff, where she fired one last shot and sliced the Nevermore's head off in the air.
Yang and the others were watched in amazement after Rose killed Nevermore as she stands top of the cliff.
"Well. That was a thing." Yang said
Later
"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. Lead by Cardin Winchester." Ozpin said as the four walked out of the stage.
'That is a team that is going to have more trouble that they could handle.' I thought, standing in the far back of the room, leaning against the door with my arms crossed.
"Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Niko. Nora Valkyrie."
Flashback
"You seriously want to put the one person who doesn't have any skills other than planning in charge?" I asked, with Ozpin nodding. "Why not Pyrrha?" I asked, confused on why he wouldn't chose her.
"I thought about that, while she has the skills, she followed his lead without a second thought, and chose to believe in him." He said, with me scuffing at that choice as that didn't mean anything.
Flashback end
"Blake Belladonna. Weiss Schnee. Yang Xiao long. Ruby Rose. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as… Team RWBY! Lead by, Ruby Rose!" He said, with me shaking my head as they were the most complicated group here.
Yang pulled her sister into a hug and cried, "I'm so proud of you!" She said, with me turning around and walking away.
