I am quite happy with the responses though with the OC bit I'm not gonna lie, my expectation was met. To which to say I need to make up my own OCs, let's leave it at that, okay? Anyways my ideas are still strong so that's some good news right? Anyways you already know that I do not own RWBY and the characters portrayed in the show, all rights reserved to Rooster Teeth. Along with that I decided to increase Aiden's age a bit for story convenience, so he's now in his mid or late twenties.

Also I forgot to say this the previous chapter so for a fair bit of warning and I'll type this in full caps.

SPOILERS AHEAD

So if you haven't watched the entirety of Volumes 1 to 5 (I say 5 since not all people watch it directly at Rooster Teeth), I'm afraid everything in this story is complete and utter SPOILERS. So if you don't want to be spoiled of what's to come, you better not read this until after finishing aforementioned Volumes.

Anyways here's the story's guideline.

Bold: Time, Place, Weapon Names, Semblances, Titles, Events, Enemy

Italic: Thoughts, Letters, News, Dreams, Flashbacks

Finally before we start with the story, I'll be changing the name of the story and the description, it'll be only temporary as you will know after reading this chapter. And with that let's get on with the story.

Late Afternoon, Forest of Unknown Location, Anima

"What's with these lovely individuals?" Aiden sarcastically thought as he dodges gunfire from a bunch of people that seems to find leather quite fashionable but had shortage of it, "I only want to know where Calydon is, the giant boar that's been terrorizing the place." he said as he side-stepped to the right, avoiding a woman who is swing a giant club with nails on it, "As a fighter I don't find beating up novices fun but as a mentor of two teenagers..." he didn't finish his sentence as a wide sadistic grin appeared on his lips.

In a blink of an eye, he dashed towards the nearest bandit, his fist ready to deliver an upward strike. He punched them in the gut which sent them flying and before they could even reach the apex of their flight, Aiden reached out as quickly as possible by jumping and slammed them back to the ground. Once he landed back down, he took the downed bandit and threw it at another bandit who was fast approaching, "Tell me where right now and the rest of you can come out unscathed from this."

"Even if we know, why would we tell it to a punk like you?" one of them defiantly said weapons firing at him while he continues to keep on dodging, "I wish things were easier..." he mumbled then pulled out his twin-pistols and aimed at two different directions, "If you won't tell me then..." he said loud enough for anyone nearby to hear, "I have no use for all of you." he announced as he began firing from every direction in such quick fashion, hitting everyone and everything that not even his partner Ecru is safe, to which the avian companion decided to hide behind a tree.

Once the barrage was over, every bandit was knocked out cold thanks to the concussive shots, "Phew, that move always takes a toll on my aura." Aiden said as he wiped a sweat from one of his brow, he then heard the angry cawing of his partner as he was suddenly attacked by the angry eagle, "S-sorry, Ecru. Had to finish up quickly!" he apologized as he continued to defend against his partner. This went on for a few more seconds until the eagle finally calmed down and Aiden a bit worst than before with a few scratches here and there.

"I'm really thankful that I can recover aura significantly faster than an average huntsman." Aiden offhandedly said as he stretches and popping a few joints, "Anyways we should continue looking for that boar."

A sudden bullet whiz past his head as he abruptly stopped, and looked around quickly. His eyes settling on two women, one with very, very short dark brown hair and one with ridiculously long black hair. He also notices that the former still had her gun aimed at him and the latter wearing a head mask that resembles a Grimm, "Can I help you?" he raised a brow at this as Vernal, the short haired woman looked at her leader. Raven looked back and shook her head, Vernal took this cue and placed her weapons back to her holster, "Your fight was both impressive and sloppy at the same time."

Raven began, not taking off her mask, "You've used customized Dust rounds if them still breathing is any sign though so much of it were wasted and your bird over there could have been caught in the cross-fire." she added as Aiden looked at Ecru who was perched on one of the lower hanging branches in a tree, the eagle looked back, managing to look peeved, "Efficiency with bullets is of no concern to me." Aiden replied as he looked back at the two women, "Dust rounds are quite expensive nowadays, you shouldn't be so wasteful." the female ravenette said in a patronizing tone.

Aiden only kept silent at that last bit, mentally laughing while keeping a straight face, "So, are you just going to be both complimenting and patronizing to me?" he asked trying to get the conversation going, "Ah, I see, straight to the point. I seem to overhear you asking for Calydon." she said which piqued Aiden's attention as he straightened his posture, "I'm assuming you're very intimate with it?" he said decided to carry on with the conversation, "Hardly, it's my and the tribe's arch-nemesis. We had to move camp every time it attacks."

The male ravenette were currently disconcerted by this revelation as he looked at the knocked out bandits, one of which was trying to move and stopped entirely when they notice Aiden was looking at them, "I was asking them for the Calydon so I could hunt it." he said as he looked back at the two women, Vernal looked rather surprised at the bold statement while Raven just smirked under her mask, "Oh? Can you do that by yourself?" she asked in her patronizing tone, "I have enough firepower to take it out."

"But you've wasted a lot of Dust rounds. Are you sure you have enough?" she asked as Aiden was infuriated by the tone and scratched his head furiously, "Honestly, woman! Do you fuss over every crumbs on your plate all the time?!" he exclaimed and Vernal didn't like that, not one bit, "Watch your tongue in front of our leader!" as she took out her weapons once more and Aiden returned the gesture by taking out his, Raven noticed this and could only hold Vernal's arm back down, "You're amusing, it takes strength to be rude against your betters." Raven said in her patronizing tone once more.

These only made Aiden close his eyes and inhale deeply, exhaling from his mouth afterwards, "If you know where it is, show me. If not goodbye." he said as the female ravenette smirked beneath her mask and then turned her back on him, ushering him to follow to which he did. As infuriating as the raven-haired woman is, he could tell that she's quite skilled, a cut above the rest than the bandits he just fought recently, the brunette is strong in of herself but couldn't really match up with the former.

People like that ravenette made Aiden always paranoid of his capabilities and how much of it he would show to others, especially to his own sister, as much as he loves his baby sister, she couldn't really keep a secret, no matter how much effort she makes, there's always that tell-tale sign of her lying and she would just blurt out the secret if provoked. All in all, his philosophy of keeping your cards close to the chest wouldn't sit well with Clementine as much as it pains for him to admit it.

"Wait, don't tell me they're gonna watch me fight the damned thing?"

Early Evening, Ballroom, Beacon Academy

"Pyrrha?!" Clementine exclaimed as she pointed at her friend in disbelief, she wore a white long sleeve t-shirt and bell pants, both of which have green accents to it, "Clementine?!" Pyrrha who did the same except for being overjoyed, she wore a red crop top that exposed her belly and black form fitting pants, all in all completely opposite to Clementine's conservative outfit. They both rushed towards each other and gave the biggest hug they could give at the moment, "I knew you went to Beacon!"

"Well I did not expect you to choose Beacon." Pyrrha said with a wide smile, "Anyways we have much to talk about." she added as Clementine giggled, "What? Like my brother?" she cheekily said which dusted Pyrrha's cheeks with a pink hue, "Well, I do want to know how Mister Aiden has been doing this past few months." she explained as the green haired girl looked rather shocked, "I thought you told me you stopped crushing on big bro?!" she said as Pyrrha nodded, "I did but that doesn't change the fact I still owe him, for the training and respite he provided for me."

"Well, I guess it could not be help. He's pretty charming at times." she said as she coughed trying to deepen her voice remembering one of his sayings most specifically to Pyrrha, "Frowning doesn't really suit your pretty little face." she said and looked at the Invincible Girl and wasn't disappointed as she was pretty red in the face, "Enough about that! Let's... Talk about something else, okay?!" the redhead exasperatedly begged as she tried to calm down, "That is fine with me!"

With that they went towards their sleeping bags and discussed of things that happened to them in the past months when they gotten separated due to Aiden's job requiring them to move to a remote village in Anima for a few couple of months. As such they were having a great time for an hour or two until a copper bolt sprung forward, hitting Clementine right in the forehead, which made her lay on her back, "Ah!" they heard a the voice of a young man who came rushing towards them, Pyrrha got a good look on him and saw his short and unkempt red hair, not as deep colored as hers, his facial features were rather sharp, and his narrow yellow eyes that seems to remind her of a cat she once had.

"I-I-I a-apologize for this profusely!" during his apologies, Clementine got back up with a hand on her forehead, a bit teary from the stinging pain, "As long as it's an accident, it is fine." Pyrrha said in behalf to Clementine, "Don't let that happen again." she added as she picked up the bolt and gave it back to the young man, "S-sincere gratitude!" he said as he placed a hand behind his head and bowed a little then left, "Mou~..." after the exchange, the young Evergreen is still nursing the pain she feels on her forehead, "That still hurts..."

"Don't be such a baby, okay? Now where did we left off?" Pyrrha said as they continued on with their chat until they heard screaming as they looked towards the source to see the four protagonists, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang as they have an argument, "I think we should sleep now." the Invincible Girl said as she looked back at her friend who was already curled up in her sleeping bag, the bump slowly rising up and down indicating that the tenant of the sleeping bag is already asleep, "We were just talking a few seconds ago."

Pyrrha just shrugged it off and went to sleep as well replenishing her energy for tomorrow's initiation.

Late Evening, Headmaster's Office, Beacon Academy

"Ah, Mister Evergreen, thank you for responding to my call in such short notice." Professor Ozpin, the Headmaster of Beacon, greeted the ravenette as he walked towards the large mahogany table, "Go ahead, take a seat." the headmaster said as Aiden did so, "Coffee?" the silver haired man offered as the younger man raised his right hand in front of him, "No thanks, I want to sleep." he simply said to which got a chuckle out of Ozpin, "Ah, indeed you were just in Anima a few hours ago."

"So why call me here so urgently, if I may ask?" Aiden looked at the man in front of him who took a sip from his mug, "Before that, can you answer me a few questions?" Ozpin asked to which got a nod in response, "Ah, excellent. Anyways, any news on the White Fang?" he began as the ravenette sighs, "They started robbing Dust stores and the fact that they are only stealing Dust is quite peculiar. They are probably starting a large scale assault if this keeps up."

"Also I find it interesting that along with the White Fang, a bunch of thugs are also stealing Dust, and the concerning thing about it is that the police haven't seen or heard a single shootout between the two." he finished with an even worst news, "That is indeed very concerning, from what we could assume at face value that both parties are working together to achieve a single goal." Ozpin said as he took another sip of his coffee, "It shall be investigated, now for the next and final question."

"Have you considered my offer yet?" the Headmaster asked, "I did for an hour after we finished meeting." Aiden swiftly answered making the silver headed man raise a brow, "You considered it that quickly?"

"It's a no, Professor Ozpin."

"May you tell me why at least?" the Headmaster had asked not really expecting this answer, "I need to be apart with my sister." the ravenette quickly replied in a somber yet firm tone, "What happened with the young lady?" Ozpin asked as Aiden kept silent, not knowing whether to oblige to the middle-aged man or not. He then sighed and looked at the silver headed man straight in the eyes, "This does not leave this room, okay?" he got a nod and vocal agreement to which he find satisfactory and began his tale.

"Four years ago, we lived in Narra, its beautiful place, managed to become what it is today thanks to my family, specifically my parents, Sinag and Lily Evergreen. Clementine even further back wanted to be a huntress and decided to train to become one and begged them. They gave in to her incredible persistence and agreed once they finished up a mission they were sent in. They didn't return, presumed dead a month later, my baby sister loves and admires both of them dearly so let's just say she was traumatized."

"I decided to uphold their promise to her and trained her as best as I could..." he paused a bit, trying to get his bearings once more, "If it is any consolation, Miss Evergreen passed with flying colors and is among the top 10 of the best performing first year." Ozpin commented which was met with a short chuckle, "That's where the problem begins; she is incredible in fighting albeit clumsy. But that clumsiness increases ten-fold whenever there are lots of spectators."

"Another major problem for her is that she developed to become very dependent on me. I know you'll agree with me on this one that it is a detriment to herself as an individual, it doesn't really help that I baby her." Aiden continued which received a couple of affirmative nods, "That's why I can't really accept the offer without jeopardizing my plans for her." he finished now dismissing the question, "Anyways, I'll see you, Professor Ozpin."

"Thank you once again for indulging in my requests, Mister Evergreen and the offer is still open whenever you decide to change your mind." the Headmaster said as he watches the retreating back of the young man, "Before I forget, Professor Ozpin, you should call me Aiden, Mister Evergreen was my father." he said stopping before he reached the elevator, once he did he looked back, "Also, as a gesture of goodwill to your hospitality, I will tell you something important. No one alive knows this piece of information aside from me."

"Aiden's not my real name."

Day of the Initiation, Locker Room, Beacon Academy

"So Pyrrha, have you given any thought to whose team you'd like to be on? I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such a strong, well-known individual such as yourself!" Weiss, the Heiress said in such a pleasant tone, "Indeed, I want to be in someone's team especially."Pyrrha answered without any hesitation which caught Snow White off-guard, "Were you perhaps thinking of being in a team together with me?" the Invincible Girl asked to which Weiss quickly replied, "Indeed!"

"Well, that sounds grand!" Pyrrha exclaimed as Snow White immediately replied with, "Great!" and began scheming in her head until Jaune got in between them. (I don't know for the life of me but I can't write this damned scene no matter how much I try, heck even if I'm out of my mind with tiredness I can't still write, so for my convenience I'll just take it to the end of that 'lovely' scene.)

"Sounds like Pyrrha's on board for Team Jaune. Spots are filling up quick! Now, I'm not supposed to do this, but maybe I could pull some strings, find a place for you. What do you say?" Jaune said leaning in closer to Weiss, "All right, that's a bit too close! Pyrrha, a little help please?!" Weiss said which gotten Jaune flying thanks to Miló, "Pyrrha! That was very rude of you!" the Invincible Girl heard her dear friend's voice as she gotten closer towards the two other girls, "Pardon me, but she helped me against blonde and scraggly!"

"That doesn't really call for a forceful removal!" Clementine said with puffed up cheeks, and angry looking eyebrows as much as Pyrrha would admit, she would admit the Dryad looked more cute that it is intimidating but she wouldn't really rain on her parade, "Weiss, that would be enough." the redhead stated in a firm tone which made Weiss indignantly look at her, "W-what?! But-" she was about to reason until the Invincible Girl took a firmer stance which stopped her, "She's the one I wanted to be in a team with, both her and her brother is what made me what I am today."

Weiss took the information and slowly digested it until she exasperatedly droop her arms down, "Fine..." she said as Clementine looked quite proud of herself with a puff of her chest outwards and her knuckles on her hips, "Anyways I'll be getting my stuff!" she said soon after basking in her win and left towards her locker to get her weapon, as she passed by a pair of freshman students standing near her locker, "Are you ready for this, Aero?!" a five foot-tall girl with pastel dark red hair asked her pastel blue haired and hulking companion, who merely nodded.

The short girl has a healthy white skin and wore what appeared to be a fitted, cream colored crop top with long sleeves that only went just above her naval and and black bike shorts that barely even reached midway to her thighs but was compensated for black leg bands and pastel red boots that reaches below her knees. The bulky teenage boy on the other hand wore more clothing articles than his short companion, as such that he wore a thick, pastel blue t-shirt, his arms and forearms were protected with white vambraces, dark blue pants that are also protected with white greaves, and finally heavy white boots.

Clementine also took in their features such as the girl's blue eyes and the boy's dark green eyes. She got her weapon and closed the locker to catch a glimpse of the boy who managed to accidentally send a bolt to forehead. She would have went over to him and talk but with her demeanor, she found the option to be daunting. The Dryad then hears an announcement playing on the intercom system hearing the now familiar, Glynda Goodwitch's voice, "Would all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation? Again, all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately."

With that announcement, every freshman student went towards the designated location, some excited for what's to come, and some nervous of events that that will soon be unveiled.

Start of Initiation, Beacon Cliff, Beacon Academy

"For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." the Headmaster began as every freshman student are now in attendance and each of them is currently standing on their own launching pads. The silver-headed man looked at each individual student while speaking each word out concisely, his gaze lingering on the youngest student, Ruby Rose and the two students trained by the incredible talent he scouted four years ago.

Those two students are Clementine Evergreen and the Invincible Girl, Pyrrha Nikos. Indeed, all three girls are incredibly talented, not to say that they are the only talented students such as the cases of Yang Xia Long, Blake Belladonna, Weiss, Schee, Lie Ren, Nora Valkyrie, Auburn Sky, and Aero Gems. Now there are some exceptions as well, like the bright-minded Ray Auron, with his inventions he stands up to par with any of the aforementioned students.

He could also tell the reason why that inventive boy decided to go to Beacon than of Atlas but he'll leave that discussion alone, "Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of 'teams.' Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates... today." a high pitched sound of despair sounded along, this is the reason the Headmaster always kept this news close to heart until the start of the initiation, the amusing reactions of some students, like young Ruby Rose.

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well." Ozpin took over as the sound of groans were met, "That being said, the first person you meet after you landed will be your partner for the next four years." he deliberately and concisely said once more which shocked quite the majority of students, so much so that a glass shattering were heard, while Clementine squirms in anxiousness, thinking if she can even do it.

"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path... Or you will die." he said much to the chagrin of one, Jaune Arc, "You will be monitored and graded through the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. We will reguard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?"

One hand raised, "Good! Now take your positions." Professor Ozpin said as everyone did so, except for Clementine and Jaune, "Um, Professor? Someone has a question." she politely and meekly asked as Jaune continued which began one of the more memorable scenes. Everyone except Jaune has been launched, "So, what exactly is a landing strategYYY!..."

Ozpin decided to hide his smirk by sipping his mug of caffeinated beverage, "You really like watching some of them suffer." Aiden appeared from the behind them, "I do not know what you are implying 'Aiden'." the silver headed man feigned ignorance, "We thought you already left, Mister Evergreen." Glynda Goodwitch had said as she looked over her Scroll to see the check the young man, "What? Can't watch my baby sister do the initiation?" he asked more of rhetoric, "You are most certainly welcomed to do so."

"Now I know you aren't simply here to watch over Miss Evergreen so please, do enlighten us both." the Headmaster had stated which made Aiden just blankly look at the silver headed man, "About the offer, I had the rest of the night to think over it more, sincerely..." he said which piqued the two adults' interest, "He really changes his mind quickly." Ozpin thought as he expectantly looked at the young man, "I can't accept the offer now but I can once Clementine graduates or when you retire."

"Fair enough." was the only thing the Headmaster could say.

Initiation, Emerald Forest

Clementine soared through the air as the sight of the forest gives her this warm and happy feeling that wells up inside of her as it reminds herself of home, as a child of the forest she doesn't want to hurt the vegetation then began using her Semblance to slowly and safely lower herself back down to the ground. Once she did she immediately took out Woodland Sprite and with a press of a button changed the bo-staff into a rifle, trained in front of her as she moved slowly, remembering the teachings of her older brother.

Along with those teachings is navigation that allowed her to pinpoint where North is and headed that way, the gentle breeze and the quiet atmosphere of the forest always calmed her, even more so with her brother. She always preferred to be around trees than back in the city, don't get her wrong she finds the city life charming but it just feels right for her to be near nature. Add to the fact that she can't properly talk to any strangers so that's another thing to take note off.

She then heard fighting and rushed towards the scene to see the same the same guy that got a bolt to hit her forehead and he wasn't alone as he is currently fighting three dozens of Beowolves, she noticed that the guy is wearing an exo-suit that only seems to be missing the torso which reveals a dark brown t-shirt but the rest is hidden by what the exo-suit covers mainly the limbs, attached by very thick cables that attaches themselves to the metallic backpack on the guy's back.

She noticed that suit's limbs are weaponized as Dust rounds and Dust explosives kept getting shot out, he was managing fine until the suit's firing mechanisms were jammed and is now on the defensive. Seeing this, Clementine couldn't handle it anymore and went to help him. She used her Semblance and sent out a strong gust of wind that knocked the incoming Beowolves that wanted to tear of the male student's limbs. She then turned Woodland Sprite back into its bo-staff form and started twirling it around.

She then smacked the top of a Beowolf's head with enough force that it actually caved in, then another one decided to avenge their comrade by pouncing on to Clementine, she saw the shadow and suddenly thrusts the bo-staff in such an angle that it hit straight to the assaulter's throat killing it in the process. She then spun it once more and raised it up holding it horizontally to find a Beowolf's biting on it, with a quick spin with her heel she brought the Grimm back down on the ground.

The grip its' jaws have on the weapon are now gone and was rewarded for its lack of effort with a slam of Woodland Sprite on its head. Clementine then saw that the guy still getting overwhelmed and decided to get to his side, "Duck down!" she said while readying a powerful swing of her staff, the guy did so and with one mighty blow killed four Beowolves at once, "S-sincere gratitude! the guy finally said, "Are you capable of providing cover while I troubleshoot my equipment for any irregularities?"

Clementine gave a sheepish grin, "Can I give you cover?" she asked as the guy nodded, "Indubitably."

"Okay!" she said with more certainty as she smacks any nearby Beowolves away and managing to kill some of them but there are still easily a dozen and a half more. This went on for one more minute until she finally heard something from the guy besides the clinking of metal, "Ah, there's the irregularity! Grimm blood seeped into the machination and thus prevents it from receiving power from the energy source, so if I cleanse the parts from the Grimm blood I'll be able to restore the exo-suit to full functionality!"

"May you please hurry up? I do not think I will be able to keep this up for much more longer!" Clementine politely ushered as the guy began cleaning immediately, 10 more seconds and was finally done, "I truly appreciate the cover, now let me troubleshoot this fiends." he said as he began raining heavy fire to the remaining Grimm. It only took him another 10 seconds before the clearing is devoid of all creatures of Grimm, "I believe that with the currently achieved objectives that I can safely say that we are partners."

"Um..." Clementine took a sheepish stance as she didn't understand what he said to which he noticed it immediately, "We are partners now." he restated to which made the Dryad realize it, "Oh, I see!..." she said then she tried to find some more topics to talk about, she then decided to introduce herself, "My name is Clementine, a pleasure to meet you!" she said hoping that they could at least be acquainted, "My name's Ray, and it is quite a delight to meet you too."

"Now, if you don't mind me acquiring information from you, do you happen to know our longitude and latitude and also where we should embark to the cardinal direction that Professor Ozpin specified to us?" Ray asked Clementine who tilted her head to the right, not getting anything that he just said, "Do you know where we are and where North is?" the restated question of the red head is, now fully understanding what he just said she can certainly say the correct answer, "It is this way!"

Author's Notes:

Well there it is the second chapter. It took a bit longer due to circumstances that forced me to create my own OCs, though I only had to create two thanks to AlcatrazDGold, providing their own OC, Ray Auron, I did tweak the OC a bit but I did get permission from them so that's all good on the front. Another thing I would like to remind you all that Aiden is now in his mid twenties, which means he is significantly older for story convenience! I already have the entire plot of this story in my head, so yeah. I do sincerely hope you all enjoyed this chapter and if you did, stay tune!

Anyways I got nothing much else to say but give me sincere thanks to those that are supporting this story through reviews, follows, or favorites. I really appreciate it and it motivates me quite a lot, though those three things are the only source of motivation though... So don't be surprised if the update is even later than before! Anyways I hope you all have a pleasant Day/Night!
