Well, this will be longer than a usual chapter, and that is all, I'm a person of few words
Morning, In the Ballroom*
Silver's POV
I slowly open my eyes to adjust to the lights, then I slowly get up and yawns, I look around and see it's around 6 (Because it's Dawn), I look around once again and now I see a sleeping Summer beside me, and then I remember that we are at Beacon now, I then got up and started to wake Summer up.
"Hey Sum, wake up" I hushed at Summer trying not to wake the others up, but instead I only got a grunt from Summer
"Do you want to do early excercise with me?" I asked her but I only got another grunt
"Guess not huh, oh hey look, there's cookies in the breakfast menu" I said to Summer, and she suddenly gets up and goes straight to the cafeteria, too bad she's just gonna find that there is really no cookies on the menu
I then got up and fix my and Summer's sleeping bag, after fixing the sleeping bags, I started to head to the cafeteria
*Timeskip, At the cafeteria*
After arriving at the cafeteria, I looked around to see Summer at a table eating breakfast while looking a bit annoyed, I then started to walk towards Summer
"Hey Sum, how are you doing?" I called Summer out
"You were lying, there's no cookies in the breakfast menu" Summer then replies accusingly then she looks at me with narrowing eyes
"Hey, you didn't want to wake up so I resorted to something I know you can't resist, which are cookies" I explain which I earned a sigh of defeat from Summer
"Okay, Okay, you win" She says in defeat knowing if she continues, it will come out much more worse
"I'm gonna go get something to eat" I say to her while walking away
"I'm gonna wait for you here Sis" She then waves at me while I'm going to get pancakes
After getting a tray with pancakes I then walk back towards the table where Summer is eating, and sit down across the table
"So, what do you think the initiation is Sis?" Summer asks me
"I don't know, but I heard that it's a four-man team with 2 pairs of partners" I explained to her
"Ah, so who do you think your going to be partnered up?" Summer asks me
"I don't know, I will let the chips may fall" I said and I notice Summer is going to open her mouth, and I know what she will about to say, so I cut her of
"AND, before you say anything, yes I want to be partnered up with you, but if you continue to do that, what will you do when something bad happens and I'm not around to help you?" I asks her with a raised eye brow, Summer then closes her mouth while looking away not knowing what to answer to my question
"Figures, you need to branch out Sum, we don't even know if we're gonna be at a same team" I said to her 'Which I hope so' the last part goes unsaid, I do not want the future to change because of me, so I will try my best to make team STRQ came to be
I then finish my breakfast and then I look at the clock to see it's still 6:47 A.M., we still have time for morning exercise, I then look back at the table to see Summer finished on her food.
"Hey Sum, let's go and do our morning routine" I say to her while walking outside
"Okay Sis" Summer answered me while following right behind me
"So let's see, hhhmm, lets jog around Beacon for 1 lap only and do morning stretches, are you ready?" I ask to Summer
"Yup" She then answers
"Alright, let's go" I say to particularly to no one while starting to jog with Summer just behind me
*Timeskip*
Still Silver's POV
After finishing jogging, we then do morning exercise and a little spar with hand-to-hand combat (which I won), after warming up our bodies, we then proceed to go to the ballroom to take a shower and get change to our combat outfit, after that we then continued to go to our locker room to take our weapons, I then took Silberner Vorbote, while Summer took Nix Rose.
I believe I didn't explain Summer's weapon, her weapon's name is Nix Rose, it's a three form weapon, It's forms are Sniper-Rifle to Spear to Single-Edge Longsword
Sniper-Rifle to Spear
It's first form is a Sniper-Rifle it has a long barrel (8 connected barrels), it's bottom part cover three blades, then the handle of the sniper then covers the trigger, the scope then hides itself in a cover, the barrel then retracts to become half it's original size (4 connected barrels), while that is happening, one of the hidden blades, the spear head, then shows itself then it travels to the now half-sized barrel.
Spear to Single-Edge Longsword
It's third and last form is the single-edge longsword, the barrel then retracts even further until its a single barrel left, and then the barrel now goes upward (the part where the scope is found) while the spear head then fold in half and become a tip of a sword, while the other hidden blades then show themselves and connect to each other to become the main blade.
Then the speakers then suddenly opens and a familiar Male voice talks
"Would every first-year students report to the Beacon cliff for initiation before 9:00 A.M., I repeat, Would every first-year students report to the Beacon cliff for initiation before 9:00 A.M." Ozpin said through the speakers
'So it's the same initiation huh' I thought
"Why are we gonna go to Beacon Cliff for initiation?" Summer then asks me
"I don't know everything Sum" I told her with a 'I don't know' shrug even though I do know why, but it's better that way so that I won't raise any suspicion
We then walk towards Beacon Cliff, but while we're walking, Summer bumps into someone -A Blue Headed Girl- while turning a sharp corner
"I'm sorry" Summer said to the blue-haired girl, Summer then extended her hand to help the blue-haired girl to stand up, while this is happening, I saw a blonde boy walking behind the blue-haired girl
"Um, are you a-alright miss?" Summer asks the girl, the girl just smiled and:
"Yes I am, and also, please don't call me miss, my name is Rhys Saphyr" The girl -Rhys- introduce herself and behind her I saw the blonde smiled
"O-ooh, uhm, I'm S-Summer Rose" Summer then introduce herself
"And I'm Silver Rose, Summer's Twin" I also Introduce myself
"And who is the blonde boy behind you?" I ask Rhys
"Don't, I can introduce myself Rhys, my name is Taiyang Xiao-long, Rhys' adoptive brother" Tai-yang introduce himself
"Adoptive brother?" Summer and I ask him, the Taiyang and Rhys suddenly blinks in confusion to who was the one that talked, I remember that Taiyang in the show doesn't have a sister, much less adoptive
"oh!, uhm, yes, you see, my parents and her parents were very close friends, so close that they treated each other as siblings, well I guess that happens when your on a same team." Taiyang explained, Rhys looks down in sadness, Summer and I blinks, then I hear Taiyang said 'were', I put two and two together and I suddenly know the answer
"oh oum, I'm sorry!" I apologized to Rhys and Taiyang, Summer then became more confused not understanding why I'm apologising
"I don't understand, can you explain to me" Summer voiced her confusion
"You see like Tai said, my and his parents as treated each other as siblings, but while we were visiting the Xiao-longs, we were attacked by grimm, I was still 3 years old back then, I was about to get eaten by Grimm when Tai's parents arrived, I did survived but my biological parent's didn't, I was then adopted to the Xiao-long's, and when it was my ninth birthday, they gave me my biological parent's last name, that's why we don't look alike and don't have the same last name" Rhys explained, which earned a horror face from Summer, but we all forget about initiation because of this story telling, so I decided to remind them
"Wait!, we should hurry!, we still have initiation!" I reminded them, then they also realize it too
"Let's go, we don't want to be late!" Summer then commented
We then started running outside towards the Beacon Cliff
*Timeskip, Beacon Cliff, 8:52 A.M.*
Silver's POV
'Yes!, we're not late' I thought to myself while going to one of the platform just on the left side of Summer
"For multiple years all of you have trained to become Huntsmen and Huntresses, and now as you all know today will be initiation which we will then evaluate your abilities in the Emerald Forest, but this initiation also serves as assignment of teams, each and everyone of you will be given teammates, today" Ozpin explains and he has earned understanding sounds of 'oh' and 'ah'
"These teammates will be with you for the next years while you're at Beacon" Ozpin continues, I then heard a groan from my left side
'like mother, like daughter, they say' I then thought to myself
"That being said, the first person you will make eye contact will be your partner for the coming years" Ozpin continues, I then hear surprised sounds from the crowd
"After you are partnered up, you will continue going towards the northward end of the Emerald Forest, we will then monitor and graded during your initiation, but we will only intervene when necessary, you will find an abandoned temple which has relics in it, each pair MUST choose a relic and return to the top of the cliff, that is all, is there any question?" Ozpin stops his speech and he then asks questions, he then waits for 5 seconds before continuing
"Good!, now please take your positions in the launching pads" Ozpin orders the students, everyone then do as he ordered and took there positions, one by one everyone was launched including Summer and I.
*Emerald Forest*
Silver's POV
After being launched in the air by Professor Ozpin, I waited for me to go south and then I put Silberner Vorbote into Sniper-Rifle form and,BANG! BANG! BANG!BANG!, I then shot towards my trajectory to use the recoil of my gun to slow down my descend, I then put Silberner Vorbote into Scythe form and I throw it into the ground to impale it and then use the handle of the scythe to land on to further slow my descend down.
(Think of it when Qrow was thrown by Tyrian and he then impaled his sword to the ground and used it slow himself down but instead Silver used her Scythe as a lever mechanism to slow herself down)
After landing in the handle, Silberner Vorbote was then thrown to the air and then started to descend towards me, I then caught it and put it into it's Compact form and I then started walking northward towards the abandoned temple, but who will I partnered up with?, I hope I don't change the plot too much.
*Meanwhile*
Summer's POV
After being thrown to the air by a certain sadistic person, I then took my weapon out and continually shooting towards my trajectory, wow never thought one of Silver's random teaching will pay off, I then transform Nix Rose into it's Sword form and I then threw it to the ground and used it as my landing pad, wow, another of Silver's teaching that helped me, I swear, she literally knows everything.
After I landed safely into the ground I started to walk towards the abandoned temple, why do I feel like something bad is gonna happen?, meh, probaly paranoia.
*Few Minutes Later*
Well this walk towards the abandoned temple is completely uneventful, *sigh, I hope something interesting happens
"get oUT OF THE WAAAY!" I then hear someone shouting, and when I looked up, I then saw a black-haired person fast approaching me and then:
*CRASHED AT EACH OTHER*
Qrow's POV
*Before being launched*
"Good!, now please take your position's" The bastard of a Headmaster ordered us, I don't even know why our Father wants us to go to Beacon, but I ai'nt complaining here, I will do anything just to get out of his hair, at least I'm not alo-, oh no, WHY NOW OF ALL TIMES?!, WHY DID MY SEMBLANCE ACTIVATED NOW WHILE I'M BEING LAUNCHED DAMNIT!.(If any of you don't know, Qrow's Semblance is Misfortune, it activates on it's own and targets anyone and anything, no matter how much Qrow tries, he still can't control it)
And there goes me, my platform launched me much higher than everyone here, and therefore my air time is much more longer than everyone, and now I'm goi-
WHY!?, DAMN MY SEMBLANCE!, oh no there's the girl from earlier, I need to warn her that I'm going to hit her.
"get oUT OF THE WAAAY!" I screamed at her to warn her but she heard it in time and we then:
*CRASHED AT EACH OTHER*
"ow" I said to particularly no one
"I'm sorry!" I heard the girl, Summer, I think her name said to me which confused me
"What are you sorry for?" I voiced my confusion to her after a few awkward minutes
"If I heard your warning earlier, you probably landed safely and not accidentally crashing into me" Summer then explains to me
"So, this makes us partners right?" She ask me smiling
"*sigh* yes, this makes us partners" I answered to her in defeat knowing that That bastard (Ozpin) is watching us, probably because of my semblance or my affiliation to a tribe, or maybe both, we then got up
"Okay, uhm can you show the way to north? my sister always says I'm bad at directions, as much as I want to not admit it, she is right, I really am bad at directions" she asks me sheepishly, I then look up to the sky to look where the sun went up and:
"Yes, of course, follow me" I agreed knowing that she probably doesn't have any sense of direction, *sigh* I have a feeling that this will be a very long 4 years.
Raven's POV
After being launched by Ozpin (Bastard as my twin calls him), I then draw out Omen (My Odachi) with it's scabbard and try to slow down my descend using the scabbard as some sort of sheild against the trees.
I then safely landed to the ground, after trying know where I am, I now then walk north towards the abandoned temple.
10 seconds of walking later
*BOOOOM!*
An explosion happened just near wear I am, Really?, I know that I don't have Qrow's semblance so why am I unlucky, I guess It's just not my day today huh
"And this is a landing strategy" someone in the smoke said
When the smoke cleared, a blonde-haired boy holding a mecha-shift War-Hammer suddenly appeared, and Crimson Red Eyes meet Sapphire Blue Eyes.
"Sooo, this makes us partner right?" The blonde boy asks me which earned him a sigh of defeat
"...Yes" I answered after a few moments
"If then, what's your name?, ohh, where are my manners my name is Taiyang Xiao-Long, my weapon over here his name is Praedo, A war-hammer than can turn into a Rocket launcher, my semblance is what I call 'Double Enchance', It takes 1/4 of my aura if full, it exchange to 5 minutes of double strenght, speed, and fire power." Tai-Yang explains to me
"*Sigh* My name is Raven Branwen, my weapon's name is Omen, it's a multiple dust infused Odachi, my semblance is Kindred Link, it allows me to create portals and opens to those I emotionally bonded with, I can open portals using Omen" I then explained to him
"Oh, you're also a woman of little talk" Taiyang says jokingly
"And you're the type of man who can't just shut up" I snapped at him
"oh, ugh, uhm" Taiyang is now lost of words
"*sigh* let's go, follow me" I ordered him while walking away towards north
"O-okay" He stuttered following behind me, this will be no doubt, the longest four years of my entire life
??? POV
Wow, launching students to a grimm infested forest is very dangerous, I then stop drinking my coffee and turn it into a club when I started to see a pack of beowulves coming at me, they then surrounded me
After a few moments of doing nothing, a single brave beowulf lunges at me, I just jump away and slam my club and activated my flamethrower that is inside the club and burn the beowulf, The Alpha Beowulf then order the other beowulf to attack me and they complied, I then used my flamethrower to burn the incoming beowulves, those who didn't die are to be acquainted with my club
I then saw the alpha beowulf lunging at me, I was about to jump out of the way when I heard multiple shots being fire at the alpha, everytime bullets landing a hit to the alpha, it explodes, when I look at the direction where the shots came from, I saw a fast approaching blue-haired girl, we then started to work together.
The blue-head girl's weapon looks like a mecha-shift sniper, and I was right, hidden blades suddenly appears, those blades extends into a double-edge sword along the barrel, then she suddenly strikes at the alpha but it managed to avoid it, I then slams my club at the alpha and I activated the flamethrower and the alpha started to burn while it was sent flying towards the blue-haired girl, she then use her sword to cut the alpha in half, after the battle we look at each other, Brown meets Green.
"So we're partners huh, let's start with introductions, my name is Rhys Saphyr, my weapon here is Drago Blu, a sniper-rifle that can turn into a double-edge longsword with an empty middle tip, my semblance is Far-Sight, I can use my aura to look far away and add precision and accuracy to my sniper" the blue-haired girl -Rhys- explains
"ok, my turn, my name is Bartholomew Oobleck, my weapon 'Antiquity's Roast' It's most compact form is a thermost, it can turn into a Club that has a built-in flamethrower, my semblance is Coffee Breaker, I can drink coffee and I will have an additional speed" I then explained to her
"Eh, your name is too long, I'll just call you Barty, and really? wow, you drink coffee from your weapon and it gives you speed?!, also, one more thing" Rhys asks me shocked
"Yes you can call me Barty, yes, yes, and what is it?" I answered
"Please slow than your talking" Rhys said to me
"No can do" I denied her
"*sigh* let's just go to the abandoned temple" She said to me while walking away, I then chuckled at her and soon followed suit, this will be a very interesting and fun four school years
Silver's POV
*After 27 minutes of walking*
This is weird, I've been walking for a few minutes yet I haven't found anyone, Is it just not my day.
*BANG!* *BOOM!*
Oh there is someone nearby, I then ran towards where the sound came from, I then saw someone, a man with blackish-grey hair and a mustache with the same color holding an axe joint with a Blunderbuss, yes, this is Peter Port, who just obliterate a beowulf, he then notice my presence and looks at me, Brown meets Silver, I the sigh in defeat
"We're partners huh, let's introduce ourselves, My name is Silver Rose, my weapon here is a 4 form weapon, it's first is a Compact Form, it's second is a Sniper-Rifle Form, it's third is a Single-Edge Greatsword, it's last and fourth form is a Scythe Form my semb-" I was about to continue when:
"A SCYTHE!?" Peter then shouted in surprise, I then blink in confusion
"uhm, y-yeah, a s-scythe, is um s-somet-thing the matter?" I ask worried
"uhm no, sorry, I was just surprised, please continue" Peter apologized
"uhm okay, where was I?, oh yes, my semblance is what I call Petal Transformation, it let me turn into a single silver petal with summoning a dozen more silver petals to confuse the enemy to which petal I am, that's all" I finished
"okay, *cough, My name is Peter Port, a huntsman-in-training, my weapon's name is Blowhard, a Blunderbuss with an battle axe on the back handle, my semblance is Lasso, using it, I can tie up targets using an aura rope, that concludes my introduction" Peter finishes his 'Introduction'
"Let's go, this way to the Abandoned Temple" I then walk away going north
*Timeskip, near the temple*
"Finally, I can see a clearing" I said to Peter
"I can see it too" He answered
We then walk towards the clearing to see the Temple, we entered the Temple only to see the relics on top of stodiums, Chess Pieces
"Chess pieces?" He asks me
"looks like it" I answered him
We then look around to look at the options, I then think of each purposes of every chess pieces, I then concluded to take the Black Pawn, the most weakest yet powerful piece in the enemy territory, and when Peter saw me holding a pawn he looks at me like I'm crazy
"Why the pawn? He ask me
"Tell me this Peter, what is the purpose of The Pawn?" I ask him back, and:
"It's for sacrifice, it's also the reason why it's called 'The sacrificial Pawn'" he said to me which earned a laugh from me
"What are you laughing for?" Peter ask me
"That's a common misconception, yes it is used for sacrifice, MOST of the time, let me ask you this Peter, what does a Pawn do when it arrives at the enemy territory?" I ask him back
"It do-oooohhhh, i see what you mean" Peter says realizing what I meant
"See, I told you, a common misconception" I said to him which he nodded in understanding, then we heard rustling of branches and bushes, I turned Silberner Vorbote into it's Sniper Form while Peter readies his blunderbuss, both of us think it's grimm, we waited for it to come out the bushes, but instead two people came out, Rhys Saphyr and Bartholomew Oobleck.
"Rhys!" "Silver!" We called each other while
"Peter!" " Barty!" the two boys called each other, after some reunion, we then introduce ourselves to others who don't know, Bartholomew was shocked when he learn that I'm a scythe weilder, after chatting a bit, I then thought of something
"We all know each other now why not be part of the same team?" I ask them which all of them nodded, none of us here is part of team STRQ so at least that part will be the same
"What Chess Piece you took" Oobleck asked us
"The Pawn" I answered which got a 'are you crazy' look from both of them, I then explained why and they understand so they also took another Black Pawn Piece
The bushes then make sounds (again), all of us readied are weapons, and another two people came out, Summer and Qrow, Summer then look at me and
"SIS!" Summer screamed at me happily while lunging at me while crying, I then lost balance and fell on my but, "SisIthoughtyoudiedIwasworriedaboutyouandIthoughtIwi-"she started rambling but I covered her to stop
"Wow, way to give me faith Sum" I said sarcastically, but in the inside I was happy to see Summer again
"Wait!, you understood that!" Qrow screams at me surprised that I understanded Summer
"I'm her twin sister" I answered nonchalantly like it's obvious.
sigh* Qrow sighs in defeat then shook his head, after introducing ourselves (minus the Weapons and Semblance), then suddenly a red portal opens beside Qrow, then two people walks out, Taiyang, and Raven, I then introduce the both of them to the other 5, Summer and Qrow took the White Horse, while Tai and Raven took the another White Horse
We were about to go back to Beacon Cliff when a huge grimm about 30 foot in height appears, long tail, and burning red eyes while steams are coming from it's mouth
"What the hell is that" Qrow scream while I look in horror
"No" I said almost in whisper, but apparently everyone heard it
"Do you know what that is, Silver?" Raven asks me voicing everyone's thought in which I nodded
"That grimm was thought to disappear during the great war, but before it disappear, both humans and faunus has a run-in-sight order so that there will be no casualties, but those who opposed the ordered all died or disappeared, That grimm is the Komodusk Alpha" I explained to them, everyone now look at the grimm with horror, which earned us a loud and ear-piercing:
"RRRRROOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRR!"
Well, this is an especially long chapter, some of you probably notice the changes but I will still point some out
Rhys' weapon is now Drago Blu, The Italian translation of 'Blue Dragon', why?, Taiyang Xiao-Long is her brother, which means Sun Little Dragon (Or at least the wiki says), so I thought 'Yeah, let's add a dragon because she has a brother and his name means dragon'.Also, I added something to Rhys' semblance to make her an expert sharpshooter, but it takes her concentration and she also cannot move while doing so
Another thing is that the Komodusk Alpha is not a canon grimm, and the one appeared here is a baby one, the average height is 50 feet, but this one is only 30 feet
The Komodusk Alpha: https/batomys2731/art/RWBY-Komodusk-Alpha-Commission-648972982
That is all, I hope you enjoy the chapter
