RWBY: Lost and Forgotten
Chapter 6
Chrome
I woke up to the sun shining directly onto my eye. Blocking the beam of light, I sat up and saw Blake still sound asleep.
Placing my hand on her shoulder, I gave a few gentle pushes to wake her up. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Come on."
We headed into the locker rooms to change. I put on my black jeans before pulling my white T-shirt over me. I grabbed my black zip-up hoodie and pulled it on. My last piece of clothing was a brown leather jacket my mom got for me a while back.
Grabbing my twin blades, I put them on my back as my sister walked over to me. "You ready?" she asked.
"Always."
We walked over to a bench and sat down. Blake pulled out her book as I just waited for initiation. "Would all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation? Again, all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately." Goodwitch asked over coms.
Blake stood up and I followed her out.
Minutes later, Beacon Cliff
All of the students were standing on mechanical launch pads, pointed towards the forest below the cliff.
Goodwitch and the headmaster were the only ones here to give us our objective. "For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." the headmaster said.
"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." Goodwitch added.
"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." the headmaster continued. "That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years. 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. 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?"
Some guy raised his hand but he seemed to be ignored. "Good! Now, take your positions."
Hearing my launch pad click, I took my stance before being propelled into the air.
I made it pretty far before having to use a glyph as a platform to jump towards a branch, using my momentum to swing myself on top of it. Looking around, I couldn't see anything except trees and a few bushes. Lowering myself from the branch, I let go and landed at the base of the tree.
Taking a second glance at my surroundings, I started heading deeper into the forest.
