"The last pair has been formed, sir." Glynda informed Ozpin. "Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. Poor boy... I can't possibly imagine those two getting along. Still, he's probably better off than Miss Nikos."

"Mmmm..." Ozpin responded.

"I don't care what his transcripts say." Glynda criticized. "That Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat."

She changed the screen to show Naruto, Percy, Roxas, and Caboose all fighting a pack of beowolves.

"Then there's these four," She says. "You do realize that with the exception of Percy there's no record of any of them beyond 5 years ago,"

On her scroll Roxas popped up. "This one has been living in an orphanage with Ren and Nora for 3 years. Before that there's nothing. It doesn't help that he uses those as weapons," 'Though the resemblance is to him uncanny,' She thought.

The next one to appear was Caboose. "According to the records he should be dead, and with his mental evaluation him being a competent hunter is 0%,"

Percy's picture appeared next. "His is by far the most normal and there are still holes. And with the death of his girlfriend and mother at such a young age, I'm surprised he decided to take the mantle of hunter up. Especially with his latest responsibilities."

The last one to appear was Naruto. "And this one. He didn't even exist until a year ago."

Ozpin continued to remain silent.

"They all have criminal records for one reason or another and they all tend to be a bit reckless in battle, I honestly think they have less hope then Mr. Arc,"

"I guess we'll find out soon enough. At their current pace, they should reach the temple within just a few minutes." With a sudden thought Glynda turned to Ozpin. "Speaking of which, what did you use as relics this year?"

Ozpin opts to stay silent like he had through Glynda's rant.

"Professor Ozpin?"

Opening ended

Line Break

From the forest, Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna stepped out into a clearing that revealed a circular stone temple, broken and decrepit but for the platforms around its insides, holding several black and gold objects.

"Think this is it?" Yang asked her partner.

Blake gave Yang an incredulous look that said 'Really' and headed down the hill, her partner following. They walked across the floor and observe the items on each pedestal, now shown to be familiar shapes.

Black approaches one of the "relics". "Chess pieces?" She asks aloud.

"Two of the pieces are missing." Yang observes. "Looks like we weren't the first ones here."

"Well, I guess we should pick one." Blake shrugged.

Yang approached one of the "relics".

"Hmmmm..." She studied the golden knight, then picked it up and showed it to Blake. "How about a cute little pony?" She suggests smirking.

Blake returns the smirk. "Sure."

They walk towards each other to the center of the temple floor.

"That wasn't too hard!" Yang proclaimed.

"Well, it's not like this place is very difficult to find." Blake remarked and the two shared a smile.

Line Break

Jaune and Pyrrha were standing at the mouth of a dark cave, where drawings where on the walls involving armed men against giant beasts.

"Think this is it?" Jaune asked.

A few moments later the duo were walking inside the cave, Jaune holding a short, burning torch to light their way.

"I'm not sure this is it." Pyrrha said nervously.

Jaune sighed. "Pyrrha, I made the torch. Could you at least humor me for, like, five more feet?" Suddenly and completely unexpectedly, Jaune tripped on the ground, and the torch flew into a small puddle, extinguishing the flame so the two were cast in darkness with only their eyes visible.

"Do you... feel that?" Pyrrha asks as Jaune gets up.

"Soul-crushing regret?" Jaune suggests. "Yes, yes I am,"

"No, it's... warm."

Jaune and Pyrrha continued onward through the cave until they saw a large glowing point of gold right in front of them, illuminating. Jaune looked excited all of a sudden.

"That's the relic!" He said excitedly. He slowly reached out to grab it, only for it to move away from his swipe. "Hey! Bad... relic!". He tried to get it again but it moved once again. Irritated he jumped forward and hangs onto it as the object raises him above the ground. "Gotcha!" Jaune says triumphantly.

"Jaune...?" Pyrrha mumbled, worry in her voice.

Jaune's catch lowers itself so he is dangling right in front of glowing red lines and eyes. Then he hears the hiss.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Line Break

Yang turned towards the direction of a scream.

"Some girl is in trouble!" Yang yelled in alarm. "Blake, did you hear that?"

Blake doesn't answer. She was too busy staring at something in the sky."

Line Break

The four boys and the beowolves all stop to look around.

"What the hell was that," Percy asked.

"No idea," Roxas says.

"Maybe its Jaune screaming like a girl," Caboose suggests.

"Nah don't be ridiculous Caboose," Naruto says. "Hey you guys know anything about that scream," Naruto asks one of the beowolves.

A beowolf in the front shrugs and grunts in denial.

"Ok," Naruto says.

There's a pause for a moment. Then Naruto punches a beowolf to his right sending it flying. The others got out of there stupor and the brawl began again.

Line Break

At the cave entrance, Pyrrha rushes out right before the monster crashes through the hole, roaring and waving its grass-encrusted claws as Jaune hangs from the stinger, calling for help and continuing to scream.

"Help! Whoa-ah-ah-ah-ah! Why?! Pyrrha! He-e-e-elp!" He screams in a high pitched voice. "Pyrrha, this is not the relic! It's not! Do something!"

Pyrrha, wields Miló in front of the creature ready to attack. "Jaune! Whatever you do, don't let-" but before she could finish, the Grimm hurls its tail back and launches a still-screaming Jaune across the forest as she watches in dismay. "... go."

She turns back to the scorpion as it continues to snap its claws at her, and she smiles embarrassingly before turning and rushing away in a burst of green leaves.

Line Break

Blake is still staring at something above them, but Yang is focused on the forest.

"Blake, did you hear that?" Yang says turning to her partner. "What should we do?"

Blake continues to look up. Yang decides to follow her line of sight. She was met with a falling Ruby.

What the hell?

Flashback

Weiss and Ruby were hanging on to something very feathery and very fast, as evidenced by the loud wind and the two being blown sideways.

"Ruby!" Weiss shouts to her partner so she can be heard. "I told you this was a terrible idea!"

"We're fine!" Ruby dismisses, shouting to be heard as well. "Stop worrying!"

"I am so far beyond worrying!" Weiss retorts.

"In a good way?" Ruby asks.

"In a bad way!" Weiss snaps. "In a very bad way!"

"Well, why don't we just jump?!"

"What are you? Insane?!"

She was met with silence; Ruby has already disappeared.

"Oh, you insufferable little red-!"

Flashback end

"Heads uuuuuup!" Ruby shouts.

Just as she was about to hit the ground, Jaune came flying through the air and crashes into Ruby, knocking her off course and sending them both into a tree to the left of where Blake and Yang were standing.

Ruby, dazed by the rough landing as evidenced by the Beowolves and stars circling her head shakes her head to recover.

"Oohhhh... What was that?" Ruby asks.

"Eh-hem!" Ruby looked up to see Jaune hanging upside-down in a tree branch above her. "Hey, Ruby, you hang around here often,"

"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake asked her partner.

"I…" Yang began.

Before she could continue, several crashing noises were heard in the forest ahead of them, and an Ursa comes out, claws swiping, just as a pink blast of energy hits it in the back and it crashes to the ground, depositing its rider.

YEEEE-HAAAAW!" Nora proclaims before rolling off of the creature's back, then gets up and groans, saddened. "Awwww... It's broken." She dashed onto its neck and observed the carcass as Ren comes up behind her.

"Nora! Please... Don't ever do that again." He begs while panting. He looks up again and notices the pink dotted outline of where his partner should be. Seems that Nora ran off again causing him to look around frantically. "Damnit!"

"Nora now in the Temple, was staring at a golden rook relic.

"Oooohh..." She grabs it and begins to dance and sings with the chess piece. "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!"

"Nora!" Ren shouts.

Nora stopped dancing with the rook on her head, then salutes, dropping the relic into her hand. "Coming, Ren!" She says and begins skipping off to her friend.

"Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?"

"I..."

She was interrupted once more as a screech is heard from their right, and Pyrrha Nikos comes onto the scene as the scorpion creature uproots entire trees in its chase after her.

Pyrrha narrowly dodges its giant claws and keeps on running.

"Jaune!" Pyrrha calls.

"Pyrrha!" Jaune responds

"Whoa!" Ruby says. She starts running off of the branch and lands in a roll

"Ruby!" Jaune whined, upset over being abandoned.

"Ruby!" Yang says, excited to see her sister alive and well.

"Yang!" Ruby responded just as excited. The two reach to give each other a hug.

"Nora!" Nora shouts as she comes between the two and knocking them off-balance in surprise.

"Did she just run all the way here with a Death Stalker on her tail?" Blake asked.

Yang finally getting fed up growls and erupts in a small burst of fire, eyes flashing red.

"I can't take it anymore! Can everyone just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again?!" She yells.

The tick-tock of a clock counts down the two seconds of Yang cooling down, Ren running over to a ditzy Nora, and Blake and Ruby looking up.

"Umm... Yang?" Ruby spoke up while tugging on her sister's sleeve and points up. Weiss is revealed to be hanging on a talon the size of her entire body that belongs to a gigantic Nevermore.

"How could you leave me?!" Weiss yells.

"I said "jump"!" Ruby defended.

"She's gonna fall." Blake stated.

"She'll be fine." Ruby dismissed nonchalantly.

"She's falling." Ren said.

Jaune, finally out of the tree, pants until he looks up and grins at the sight of Weiss falling through the air, giving him the opportunity to jump off the branch with arms outstretched and catch her in a slowed-down moment.

"Just... dropping in?" Jaune said smoothly.

Weiss is speechless... and Jaune realizes why when they both look down.

"Oh, Oum." Jaune says. The two hang on to each other wide-eyed as their moment of suspension ends, their weapons flying behind them. "Oh, noooooooo- Oomph!"

Jaune does a faceplant into the dirt, limbs splayed out, and serves as the perfect landing spot for Weiss as she falls into a seated position on his body.

"My hero." Weiss mocks.

"Hey are you hurt," Jaune shoots back face still on the ground. Weiss doesn't say anything but eventually shakes her head looking miffed. "Then your damn right I'm your hero, I did my job," Jaune scolds. "Oh my back," He groans out.

Pyrrha, managed to land on her side at the feet of the heroes.

"Great!" Yang says. "The gang's all here! Now we can die together!" She said her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Actually I think we're missing a few," Ren points out noticing Roxas wasn't there.

"Not if I can help it!" Ruby shouts completely missing what Ren says. She then charges at the Death Stalker.

"Ruby, wait!" Yang shouts. Ruby, still screaming, fires Crescent Rose and charges at the oncoming Death Stalker. When the two meet, the Grimm swipes Ruby away and she is knocked back.

"D-Do-Don't worry! Totally fine!" Ruby says slowly getting up. Ruby turns back to the monster and shoots it in the skull, running away from it and sheathing her scythe as the Death Stalker now chases after her.

"Ruby!" Yang yells running to her sister.

Ruby rushes towards Yang, but the Nevermore caws above them, flapping its wings and releasing lines of sharpened feathers with points that catch on Ruby's cape and prevent Yang from reaching her.

"Ruby, get out of there!" Yang yells desperately.

"I'm trying!" She says, struggling to get her hood free. The Death Stalker approaches, raising its golden stinger above a scared Ruby and heading down on the helpless girl.

"Ruby!" Yang yells desperately. A white blur races past Yang and reaches the stinger just as it's about to pierce Ruby.

"You are so childish!" Weiss says.

Ruby opens her eyes to the sight of the stinger encased in ice and lowers her arms from their futile position over her head as she stares at her savior.

"Weiss...?" Ruby says.

"And dim-witted, and hyperactive, and don't even get me started on your fighting style." Weiss berates. "And I suppose I can be a bit... difficult... but if we're going to do this, we're going to have to do this together. So if you quit trying to show off, I'll be... nicer." Weiss says.

"I'm not trying to show off," Ruby explains. "I want you to know I can do this."

"You're fine." Weiss reassures.

Ruby breathes a sigh of relief, then closes her eyes and clasps her hands as she gratefully whispers, "Normal knees...". She gets up and stares at the Death Stalker as it struggles to escape with its tail trapped in the ice. "Whoa!" Yang rushes up too Ruby and gives her a hug which Ruby grunts at upon receiving.

"We're still missing people we can't leave yet," Nora says, worry in her voice. Ren put a hand on her shoulder. He was worried about Roxas to.

"Why not," Blake says. "Besides there are some pieces missing so a few teams have been through here,"

"2," Jaune explains.

"What?" Blake asks.

"Excluding the one you and Nora grabbed 2 relics are missing,"

"Your point?"

"It's one relic per team," Jaune continues. "That means there are four others still in the forest. And standing between them and the relics are those." He finishes wile pointing in the sky at the Nevermore and then to the Death Stalker that was still stuck.

The group looked towards the forest.

Crap.

"I'm going back in," Jaune says.

"What!" Pyrrha asks shocked.

"An Arc is the first and the last on the battlefield," Jaune says, quoting his grandfather's word. 'And he's the only one of his squad allowed to die,' He didn't say the second part out loud.

"Jaune just think for a moment," Blake began.

"Five minutes," Ruby said speaking up. They all turned to the youngest one there. "We wait five minutes and then we each make a choice. Either we go back into the forest, or we go back to Beacon and get help,"

"And if the one of them attack," Blake asked looking at the Naevermore and Death Stalker.

"Fight or Flight," Jaune said. "The choice is yours."

They all stayed silent for a moment. But slowly everyone nodded in agreement. So they waited. No words were spoken. Everyone was silently making their decision.

Nora and Ren were going in. They wouldn't risk Roxas not being one of the ones that already went through.

Pyrrha decided to do whatever Jaune said. He had inspired her with his speech.

Blake decided to head to Beacon and request help. It was the safest and most sensible route. She could only hope Yang would agree but something told her, that if Ruby headed towards the forest Yang would follow her.

Weiss wanted to head to Beacon but she would leave a Glyph trail should the forest team head back after them. If no one showed up 5 minutes after she arrived at Beacon she would demand help.

Yang would follow her sister. Plain and simple.

Jaune and Ruby would be going back into the forest.

"Ok it's been 5 minutes," Ruby spoke.

"Before we depart let me just say that no matter what decision you made," Jaune began. "There will be no judgment or criticism"

No one said anything for a moment.

"Alright lets-," Jaune began only to be interrupted by Blake.

"Wait," She said as she looked around. "Somethings coming. Something big."

As the words left her mouth the ground began to shake. Everyone looked to the right. That's where the noise was coming from. Even the Death Stalker who was still caught in the ice turned to look.

No one would ever forget what happened next.

Suddenly a stampede of beowolves came charging out of the forest.

"THAT'S RIGHT YOU BETTER RUN!"

"What?" Jaune began.

"LIKE YOU COULD GET AWAY THAT EASILY,"

Ruby recognized the voice.

"Naruto,"

"THIS IS WHY FRECKLES IS THE BEST, HE NEVER RUNS AWAY,"

"Caboose?" Jaune says.

"I'M EATING A LOAD OF PANCAKES AND POPSICLES AFTER THIS. THIS IS WORKING UP A SWEAT."

Roxas!" Nora shouts excitedly

"REMIND ME AGAIN WHY WE WERE LAUNCHED INTO THE FOREST,"

"Percy," Pyrrha says.

"WHO THE FUCK CARES, I'M HAVING TO MUCH FUN,"

"Yep that's Naruto alright," Ruby says, "HEY NARUTO,"

Naruto stopped and looked in their direction. "WHAT!"

"WE HAVE TO GO, COME GET A RELIC AND LET'S GET OUT OF HERE,"

"YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME,"

"Did they just chase a giant herd of beowolves,"

Yang could only sigh in response.

Line Break

"So exactly how did that happen," Ren asked Roxas.

"Yeah," Pyrrha spoke up. "That was certainly a first,"

"Well I don't really think they were running from us," Roxas supplied as they made the trek back to Beacon.

"What do you mean," Jaune asked. The four boys looked up and looked at the event that had transpired.

Flashback

"Man they just keep coming!" Percy shouted as spun Neró around and smacked a beowolf in the face. He then spun the trident around and began unloading round after round in a multitude of grimm.

"Yeah this is starting to get a bit repetitive," Roxas agreed. He proceeded to hold off 5 beowolves surrounding him. Noticing a stream of light, he through Oathkeeper through it. I came out the one on the other side. It cut down three of the five. Roxas sidestepped and brought his leg up in a kick to block the claws of the fourth beowolf with the metal plating in his plants. Then using Oblivion he chopped its arms off. The beast roared in defiance before its head met the same fate. Then grabbing Oathkeeper, spun the swords to hold in a reverse grip and lunged backward stabbing into the last beowolf behind him. 'And difficult,' He thought.

"I thing Freckles is getting tired," Caboose said as he switched from Freckles to the two custom magnums on his hips. Church began uploading Cabooses head with what exactly to do. Sheila uploaded the information and loosened stiffness in a few key joints for Caboose. Caboose flipped the switches on the magnums up turning them into full auto-mode. He unloaded the first magazine into a beowolf on his right. When the magazine was empty, he threw the gun up and retrieved another magazine while firing the other magnum. As that one finished he held the magazine in his right hand it hit the empty slot of the magnum he had thrown up loading it. He then through the other mgnum up and repeated the process on the grimm that were coming at him.

"Who cares!" Naruto shouted. "Be it one or a million I'll destroy them all!" Naruto was punching and kicking a multitude of grimm. "2 plus 5," He muttered. He jumped into the air and smashed the head of a grim in front of him with his foot. He then jumps to another one with the help of '5' and smashes that one with '2' He repeats this process for 8 more grimm.

Minutes passed by but it seemed like they still weren't making a dent in their numbers. Soon the four were back to back once again.

"Any ideas,' Roxas asked no one in particular. The boys were trying to find ways to end this but nothing was coming to mind.

Church thought about having Caboose use 'care package' but the area was too small and there were three allies in the crossfire. He didn't have enough information.

"Don't falter!" Naruto shouted. The other three looked towards him. "We've come this far and I'm sure once we're done with these guys a goal will be in sight." He knew it was. He could smell the scent of the people he had met yesterday. He could smell her scent. He had become familiar with hers since he had encountered it the most. "If we can't even get passed this then we don't deserve to become huntsman!"

That seemed to have struck a chord with Roxas and Percy and to an extent Caboose.

"We can do this!" Naruto insisted. "Who's with me!"

"Yeah!"

"Neat!"

"We got this!"

Then with a battle cry the four charged at the beowolves. They attacked and attacked. Covering each other's blind spots. They were slowly pushing the beowolves back.

Then suddenly a beowolf in the back howled causing the other ones to perk their ears up. Naruto looked at the beowolf and noticed that its left eye had a scar over it. Said beowolf howled again and began running in a different direction and the slowly others followed.

"Hey get back here!" Naruto shouted before following them. His companions right by him.

Flashback end.

"Wow Naruto," Jaune said. "Didn't know you were the type to give speeches,"

"Didn't know you were either," Naruto complimented.

"I'm full of surprises," Jaune said. Naruto laughed at that.

"It seems that way," Blake said.

Naruto looked at her for a moment.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked. Blake gave him a neutral expression. "No seriously I honestly don't know,"

"Idiot," Blake muttered.

"OI!"

"Nora let go of me, I'm fine," Roxas said.

"NO!"

"Nora," Roxas sighed.

"NOOO!"

"It's your fault for worrying us," Ren scolded.

"Yeah I know," Roxas said defeated. "I'll buy you all the pancakes you can eat tomorrow," He said.

"Promise," Nora asked.

"Promise," Roxas said smiling. "And by buying I mean having Ren make them since his pancakes are the best."

"YYAAAYYYY!" Nora cheers.

"What!?" Ren asks alarmed.

"Glad to see you alive and well," Pyrrha said to Percy.

"Aww were you worried about me," Percy teased.

"No," Pyrrha said. "I was more worried on what Thalia would do if you died,"

Percy laughed at that.

"Well your stronger then I gave you credit for," Weiss commented.

"Yeah, most people tend to under estimate me," Percy said.

"Well I'll be sure to be aware of that in the future,"

"Thanks," Percy said, then a mischievous smile came across his face. "Snow angel," He teased.

"Forget what I said," Weiss growled. "You're a moron,"

"And then Weiss came falling down like eeeek," Ruby said telling the story. "And then Jaune saved her but they fell down like BAM!"

"That sounds like the time one of my friends crashed a ship," Caboose said. "It was like bbaquuuu EXPLOSION!"

"Wow I guess you could both say they went down with a yang,"

"Boooo!" Ruby said while holding her thumb down.

"Yeah that was… that was bad," Caboose said.

"Look there's the bridge," Jaune said. As they near the structure the Nevermore perched itself on top of a cliff.

"Well that's great," Yang says sarcastically, annoyance in her voice.

A moment later the Death Stalker from earlier burst into the clearing. It makes eye contact with Jaune and it hisses.

"Jaune I think that's for you," Naruto comments. Jaune merely let out a whine

"RRROOOOAAAAARRRRRR!" A roar is heard in the distance.

"That sounded," Roxas began.

"Like a beowolf," Percy finished.

"Yeah," Caboose said. "A really big one…. Neat"

"I think that ones for us," Naruto said.

"Ah, man, run!" Jaune shouts. The group emerged from their hiding spots, causing the Nevermore to rise up into the air.

"Nora, distract it!" Ren shouts.

Nora obliged by running out from her block and jumping through the feather projectiles before reaching behind her and launching several heart-topped shells from her grenade launcher, bursting into pink electricity when they hit the Nevermore, and causing it to retreat.

She was unaware of the Death Stalker rushing up behind her until Blake and Ren perform a cross-slash with their Gambol Shroud and StormFlower against its shell. Weiss lands next to Nora so she can create a jumping platform beneath them and leaps to safety while Blake and Ren are now being chased.

The Death Stalker brings down its stinger Caboose runs past them and catches the stinger with his arms. Naruto takes the chance and leaps into the air and kicks the tail after Caboose lets go.

The two begin to run.

"You're really strong," Naruto says. "Is that your semblance,"

"What's that?" Caboose asked.

"Wha-" Naruto began but is interrupted by the Death Stalkers screech. 'Talk later,' Naruto thought.

"Go go," Pyrrha tells Jaune as she stops running next to him and turns around to provide cover fire. Percy runs up and supports her. Ren does to, giving the others enough time to get on the bridge and puts some distance between them and the grimm.

The twelve race over the ancient stone bridge, not noticing the Nevermore closing in on them until it uses its giant wings to shatter the path right in the middle, forcing Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Nora, Roxas and Jaune closer to the central collection of columns and Blake, Ren, Percy, Cabose, Naruto and Pyrrha on the other side with the Death Stalker.

Ruby fires at the retreating Nevermore while Blake is beaten back by the scorpion.

Jaune heads to the edge of the break in the bridge. "Man, we gotta get over there! They need help!" He proclaims as Nora and Roxas run up beside him.

"Let's do this!" Nora proclaims

Jaune looks down at the misty abyss "Yeah, but, uh... I can't make that jump." He says.

"Don't worry we got the ultimate delivery system," Roxas explains. "Nora,"

Nora smiles diabolically at them. Laughing as she knocks Jaune back, turns her weapon into its full-length hammer form, and jumps to the edge of the bridge.

Jaune pales as he realizes what's about to happen. "No wait!" But his plea falls on deaf ears as she slams the hammer onto the bridge throwing Roxas and Jaune to the other side. Nora places one foot on the hammer and fires it off the collapsing section of bridge, launching her to slam its face right in the center of the Death Stalker's skull.

She fires it just as the stinger comes down to get her, and blasts back again to avoid its reach, accidentally knocking into Blake and making her fall from the edge.

"The hell?!" Blake says as she's knocked off. She sees the Nevermore above her and launches her whip so the gun's blade sinks into the edge of the bridge, circling around and leaping onto the aerial Grimm's back. She dashes all over its body, slashing the entire time, before jumping off and landing on the ruined platform at the top of the columns next to Ruby, then going over to Yang and Weiss

"RRROOOAAAARRRR!"

Naruto turns its head to see the alpha beowolf from before come into view. It looks around before locking eyes with Naruto.

"OH I've been waiting for you!" Naruto shouts before running at it. Caboose, Roxas and Percy follow after him.

The beowolf roars once more and the mass of beowolves from earlier come charging at them but the four don't stop running.

"Naruto!" Caboose shout. "Get behind me!" Naruto doesn't think much of it but he lets Caboose take the lead.

"Alright Sheila lets induce the 'care package'," Church says.

"You got it," Sheila responds.

Caboose suddenly stops and plants his feet firmly and points his arms out in front of him.

"Caboose what are you-" The rest died down in Naruto's throat at what happened next. All of a sudden parts of Cabooses armor popped up revealing a boatload of missiles, guns and other firing projectiles.

"FIRE!" Cabooses yells cheerfully and he lets everything loose. Missiles, dust bullets and everything in between. When the smoke cleared less than half of beowolves remained. It was silent for a moment.

"Now that's what I'm talking about," Naruto shouted.

"Naruto," Freckles called.

Naruto looked at the gun on Cabooses back.

"Suit needs 120 seconds to cool down until completely functional again," The gun explained. "Captain Caboose can't move until then,"

"Tell him he did a good job," Naruto said. "We'll cover for him until he's ready," he explained. "Percy, you provide cover fire for Caboose and us," Percy cocked his weapon in understanding. "Roxas you stay behind to take out any stragglers I might miss, nothing gets passed you on the bridge,"

"Got it," Roxas said.

"Good, when Caboose is ready you can come help me,"

"Will you be ok by yourself?"

"We need to protect Caboose sense he is the only one who can't fight. Besides my semblance makes me the ideal candidate for the vanguard. Now go!" With that Naruto and Roxas took off.

That seemed to get the beowolves back in the game as they charged forward once again. Roxas stopped at the edge of the bridge and Naruto continued on.

'This is good a time as any,' Naruto thought as he activated the next form of Savage Scurra. The sides of the backpack opened and two chains fell out. Then Naruto's boots disconnected with his feet but they didn't return to their spot on the backpack. The boots had now become Kusari-fundos.

Naruto made a leap forward. He brought his arms back and with a shout he thrust them forward. "2!"

The chains with the boots connected and they headed forward slammed into the grimm. Not done yet he leaped into a spin and swung the Kusari-fundo's around. "2 plus 5!" The attack slammed and swiped a portion of the beowolves away.

A few of the beowolves charged at Roxas but he was ready. The crown on and wayfinder connected to each other. The hilt guards closed in on their handles. And the ends of the blades extended until they covered the wayfinder, and crown. Roxas was now holding a double blade. He began to spin the blade and hacked through the beowolves with relative ease.

The few that he did miss were gunned down by Percy who had perched on a column right behind Caboose. "On the next one," He muttered as he continued to take them out.

Suddenly Cabooses armor shuddered. "Systems online," A female voice said.

"And I'm back," Caboose said. He then grabbed Freckles and began running while shooting down any beowolves. Roxas and Percy followed after him to help Naruto.

Line Break

"We gotta move!" Jaune shouted. And together he, Pyrrha, Ren and Nora rushed at the death stalker.

The Death Stalker aimed a claw at Pyrrha, but she deflected it with her Akoúo shield and slashed it with her blade. The scorpion recoiled and swiped at her with its other claw, but Jaune was there to deflect it with his shield, knocking it back so Pyrrha could leap over and attack its face.

Ren runs up firing and gets on the stinger when it tries to hit him, shooting at the base between it and the tail while Nora fires more grenades at the attacking claws. Pyrrha hurls her javelin straight into one of the monster's ten eyes, making it throw Ren to the side, who slams into a wall.

"Ren!" Nora calls out.

Jaune notices that the stinger is hanging loosely. A plan formulates in his head.

"Pyrrha the stinger!"

"On it!" Pyrrha responds. She raises her shield and hurls it like a discus, slicing the stinger off and causing it to fall into the Death Stalker's head as Pyrrha retrieves her rebounding shield. The Death Stalker shouts in protest.

"Nora nail it!"

"Heads up!" She responds to Jaunes command. She jumps on Akoúo. Pyrrha leaps as Nora aims her blast down to give herself a maximum lift, and she smiles the entire way up before twirling down until her hammer slams its head into the stinger, driving the point through the Death Stalker's head and crushing the bridge beneath it.

Jaune and Pyrrha bound over the monster to the land behind it, and Nora fires up and away behind them as the monster falls to its doom.

Jaune hits the ground on his back, Nora lands on her bottom, Pyrrha manages a crouched pose, and Ren simply walks over to them, panting and groaning until he just collapses.

Jaune and Nora look behind them at Naruto fighting the beowolves, while Pyrrha and Ren look at Ruby and the girls shooting blast after blast at the Nevermore.

Line Break

The four boys were making short work of the remaining beowolves.

To become more versatile. Percy transformed the other end into its trident form so both now both sides have it. Then Neró detached in two sections revealing a chain on the inside of the weapon. Neró was now a double chained trident. (Like a chained staff) Holding the weapon by the outer parts and keeping the center at his back. He smacked and stabbed through most of the beowolves.

Caboose had opted to go back to using Freckles and gunned down any beowolf in his sights. Roxas kept spinning the double blade and sliced through his attackers with relative ease. (Imagine Ryu using the lunar staff except instead of smashing and crushing its slicing and cutting)

"2 plus 3!" Naruto said. He then began to pull the Kusari-fundo's back and would punch or kick them in the direction of approaching beowolves smashing them.

Finally, the alpha made its move. With a roar the other beowolves departed as it began to charge at Naruto.

"Come on!" Naruto taunted before he charged towards it. The other three followed right behind him. Naruto jumped in the air and flipped, the weights following him. He brought his hands down and the Kusari-fundo's made its full trip down and slammed into the alphas head. It didn't fall however, but only stumbled. The stumble fortunately was all Roxas needed. He separated his swords, jumped and began a combo of spins and slashes into the chest of the alpha.

The alpha attempted to hit Roxas but Caboose shot it's arm to stop it. Percy leaped over its shoulder and threw a part of Neró to wrap around its neck. He then dragged it down. The four retreated to see what it would do.

It didn't move for a second. Then it roared and got back up. Not wanting to give it the opportunity, Naruto through his Kusari-fundo's to slam it back down. This proved to be a mistake.

The alpha grabbed the Kusari-fundo's and pulled Naruto towards him. When Naruto was close enough the alpha slammed him into the ground.

"Naruto!" Roxas shouted before attempting to leap at the beast. The alpha was ready for him this time. It used its claws too counter Roxas' attacks. Percy got close and made to stab low but he was kicked away. The alpha pushed Roxas back and brought its claws together to shield itself from the bullets Caboose was firing at it. Naruto took that chance to regroup with the others.

"Ok what the hell?!" Percy said.

"It's adapted," Naruto answered.

"No wonder it's an alpha," Roxas said.

"So what do we do," Caboose asked. Silently and almost instinctively, the three of them looked at Naruto. A few seconds went by. Then he smiled.

"Percy, lend me your ear," Naruto said. He whispered something into Percy's ear. "Can you do that,"

"Yeah," Percy responded. "I can do that and better,"

"Then I have a plan," Naruto said.

Line Break

"I! Hope! You're! Hung-! ...-gry" Yang yelled as she launched round after round into the Nevermore's mouth causing it to crash into the cliff.

Despite Yang's attempts, the Nevermore recovered quickly, and Yang smiled as she spotted Ruby and Blake on the broken columns with Weiss rushing to the battle. Yang passes her while the Nevermore starts to fly back up, but Weiss hops over to the ruin it was attempting to lift off of and freezes the tip of its feathery tail to the ground, leaving it stuck in the same spot despite its flapping.

Weiss back-flips into a snowflake-circle, jumps, and lands on the other side, running to the group. Blake fires the pistol portion of Gambol Shroud over to Yang, and the two tighten it between the columns so Ruby can jump on the center with Crescent Rose and bend it back into Weiss' black sigil, right next to the caster.

"Of course you would come up with this idea." Weiss criticized jokingly.

"Think you can make the shot?" Ruby asks seriously.

"Hmm! Can I!" Weiss says smugly, a smirk on her face.

A second passes.

"Can you," Asks Ruby.

"Of course I can!" Weiss retorts angrily.

Ruby looks forward and pumps Crescent Rose as Weiss turns the circle from black too red and releases Ruby at such a speed that the ground behind her launch cracks, rose petals flying from her ascent.

Line Break

"Ready,'… GO!" Naruto shouted. Naruto charged forward and through one of his Kusari-fundo's. The alpha grabbed it once again but instead of pulling Naruto towards it he spun and through him. 'Gotcha,' Naruto smirked.

He's not going to repeat the same action as before. He's going to expect me to counter it so more than likely he's going to throw me.

Using the momentum, he launched the other Kusari-fundo and wrapped it around the alphas neck. The alpha not noticing finishes the swing and throws Naruto towards the cliff.

"2!" Naruto shouts. He grabs the chain connected to the alpha and reverses the momentum bringing the alpha into the air with him. Realizing he needs more power he acts accordingly. "2 times 2!" The red part of Naruto's hair becomes darker. With the added strength and momentum, Naruto manages to fling the alpha.

"Naruto Ruby's on the cliff!' Percy shouts. "The plan-"

"Go on with it she'll be fine!" Naruto yelled. She would be fine. He knew she would.

Percy hesitated. "Fine but it's on you!" He shouts. He lifts Tempest up now in its staff form. The Tridents on both sides began to spin. 'Concentrate Percy, you can still control it.' Suddenly water began to spray out of the back trident It got faster and stronger.

"Caboose, Roxas!" Naruto shouted.

"Yaayy my turn!" Caboose shouted as he sent out a second 'Care Package'. The volley went into the shadow that Roxas was next to. Roxas focused.

"Roxas!" Naruto shouted. At this rate the alpha would crash and halt Ruby's progress. And that wouldn't be good. "Roxas!"

"Got it!" Roxas shouted. And from the shadow of the cliff Cabooses care package came out. And made its way towards the Alpha that was approaching the cliff wall.

Line Break

Ruby saw the looming shadow approaching as she ran up the side of the cliff. She saw the missiles that suddenly blasted out of the side of the wall. She wouldn't stop however. She would be fine. She trusted in her comrades.

Line Break

"Ruby!" Yang called as she saw her sister disappear in the smoke of the attack. Where the hell had the missiles come from.

"What the hell?!" Jaune shouted in alarm.

"Roxas!" Nora shouted knowingly.

All, was silent. Then Ruby could be seen coming from the top of the smoke. She had made it.

Line Break

Naruto smirked. 'Knew she would be alright. Now to finish mine off,'

The care package had hit the alpha square in the back.

"Percy!"

"Here ya go!" Percy shouted as he threw the trident. The stream of water had now become a torrent, blasting the trident off.

"1 plus 2," Naruto said, the red in his hair had lightened. The trident passed by and he reached out just in time to grab the center as it flew by him. With him holding it, the trident pierced the alpha's center and pushing it towards the cliff even faster.

Naruto wrapped his feet around the alphas neck. He smirked.

"Told you I'd win," He said. "2!" He shouted and began to relentlessly beat the alphas head in. He punched all the way to the cliff. Then he ended it by clasping his hands together and slammed down on its head.

"5!" he said. He focused the energy around his tail and grabbed Percy's Neró with it. The impact of the last hit to the beast's head was enough to send him up on top of the cliff where Ruby was.

Line Break

"OH YEAH THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" Church shouted. "THAT WAS BADASS MAN,"

"Uhhh Church," Caboose spoke up.

"Yeah Caboose!" Church asked still happy with the win.

"You're visible."

Church stopped. He turned around to see Roxas and Percy staring at him.

"Caboose, why is there a tiny man on your shoulder?"

Line Break

Ruby and Naruto looked at each other for a moment. Then Ruby spoke.

"My kill was better,"

Naruto's eye twitched. "Bullshit, mine had explosions,"

"Yeah but it also risked my like," Ruby retorted "My plan only risked my life,"

"Hey I didn't know you were going to run up the side of the cliff!" Naruto defended. "Besides I knew you would be ok,"

"Whatever!"

"Ok then, next time you get into the line of fire I'll hope you get hurt!'

"Same to you!"

They stayed there glaring at each other before they both chuckled. They stayed silent for a moment.

"Hey," Ruby asked. "Did you really have faith that I would be fine,"

Naruto looked at her for a moment. "Yeah, you're a strong girl. Something like this wouldn't stop you,"

"Thanks for the vote of confidence," Ruby says smiling. "Hey so what's with that whole adding numbers thing. I hear you do it every time during a fight and its different numbers or sometimes you just say one number,"

"That's because of my semblances," Naruto said.

"Oh,"

Wait.

"Semblances….as in more than one,"

"Technically…. I have 9," Naruto said.

"What!" Ruby shouted.

"Yeah their connected to my tails,"

"Tails!"

"Yeah," Naruto said and then he released the slight concentration he had and 8 more tails came into existence.

"That's so unfair," Ruby complained.

"Not really," Naruto said. Ruby perked up at that. "My semblances if you can really call them that are numbered from 1 through 9, I can combine up to two at a time.

"why do you say if ," Ruby asked.

Naruto looked nervous. "I say if because I don't really know if they really are semblances. Their more like pieces to something" Ruby looked confused so Naruto continued to explain. "Each one is more like an animal trait. The first tail heightens my 5 senses. The second one physically increases enhances me. And the hire the number the more animal I become. More feral, more wild, more, more-."

Grimm.

It went unspoken but Ruby got the message.

"Hey Ruby, why didn't you tell anyone about my…traits,"

"It wasn't my secret to tell," Ruby answered. "Plus I don't think a lot of people would be as opened minded as I am about it." She said. "You're secrets safe with me," She said smiling.

Naruto looked at her shocked. Then he smiled.

'You're not so bad after all,' He thought. "Yeah so back to something more important, my kill was better,"

"And just when I was starting to like you," Ruby said. "At least I get a trophy for mine!" She retorted as she pointed at the Nevermores head."

"I don't need a souvenir, that explosion could be seen all the way to patch!"

"No it couldn't, patch is that way!" Ruby remarked pointing towards the opposite direction.

"That's how awesome it was!"

"That's the dumbest thing I ever heard!"

"You're the dumbest thing I've ever heard!"

"Take that back!"

"Make me!" Naruto said angrily as he put Neró in the ground and reattached the Kusari-fundo's to his feet,"

"My thoughts exactly!" Ruby shouted as she crouched.

All, was still.

Then the two charged at each other. Naruto paused short when Ruby swung. She had the better reach. When the Scythe passed Naruto continued his charged. Seeing this, Ruby shot Crescent Rose to avoid. The blade headed for Naruto but he blocked just in time.

"That all you got," Ruby mocked.

"Not even close," Naruto snarled.

Then the two charged at each other once again.

But just before they could collide Naruto was met with a fist to the face. He was sent flying.

"Stay away from my sister!"

"Yang!" Ruby shouted in surprise and protest.

"I told you I don't want you around him," Yang scolded.

"Oi did anyone get the number of that punch," Naruto said getting up groggily.

"Yang!" Yang growled.

"Thank you," Naruto said before falling in his back.

Line Break

"Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark." Ozpin began as the four boys lined up in front of him on the stage. "The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL, led by... Cardin Winchester!" The audience gave a wave of ovation, while four other students walked up to the stage to take their places in front of the headmaster as their faces fill the holographic screen.

"Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie." Ozpin introduced. "The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JNPR." Amid the clapping, Nora laughs and gives Ren a hug. The two look back towards Roxas with a hint of sadness. Roxas merely shrugs with a smile on his face, happy that the two of them were on the same team. Percy waves to Pyrrha who waves back. Percy wiggles his eyebrows suggestively while pointing to Jaune. Pyrrha blushes.

"Led by... Jaune Arc!"

Jaune looks up in shock. "Huh? L-Led by...?"

"Congratulations, young man." Ozpin says while smiling.

A grinning Pyrrha offers a friendly shoulder bump to Jaune, but her "fine leader" is knocked over and falls to his butt in front of the laughing audience.

"Yeah he's gonna die," Roxas states.

"Nah, he'll be fine," Naruto said.

"I give him to the end of the week," Weiss says as she begins to walk to the stage.

"Blake Belladonna. Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. Yang Xiao Long." Ozpin called. "The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team RWBY. Led by... Ruby Rose!" Weiss looks to her right surprised, where Ruby is obviously in shock as Yang goes over to hug her sister.

"I'm so proud of you!" Yang gushes.

"Fluke," Naruto mutters. Caboose claps happily.

"And finally Naruto Uzumaki, Micheal J. Caboose, Percy Jackson, and Roxas," Ozpin begins. "You four retrieved the black knight pieces. From this point on you will be known as team UMPR (Umber) led by… Naruto Uzumaki."

Naruto looked up shocked. Ozpin winked at him. He was brought into a bone crushing hug by Caboose. Roxas patted him on the back and Percy held his thumbs up. Naruto began laughing.

Team JNPR clapped along with team RWBY. Though Yang had her eyes narrowed at Naruto the entire time.

"Fluke," Ruby grumbled.

"It looks like things are shaping up to be an... interesting year."

And Chapter four is done. Man I am really happy with this one. That fight scene took a minute to create. Now on to a few important matters. Naruto's 'semblances'. Let me start by saying that it doesn't make him OP. I have put major restrictions on him. My Naruto isn't god like or super strong. None of my characters are. My characters are all 'train till you bleed, eat the dirt' types If you wanted godlike or one punch man strong then sorry this isn't that kind of story. Though there will be moments like that but mostly against grimm. And the moment wont only be limited to UMPR. Now on to my answers. And you readers might want to pay attention to this.

He Who Seeks The Joys in Like: Thank you for the clarification. I see how he can be seen as an OC. I don't want to reveal anything so I'll just say that I did give a slight hint to konoha. It's at the ending of the openings look at the four scenes I described and if you know anything about my characters than you'll notice the connections for all of them in each scene. As for his trademarks. They'll be there but I must explain one thing and this is to everyone. This is one hundred percent in the RWBY universe. So chakra as we know it as doesn't exist. I hope that satisfies you for now but if not just private message me because I don't want to spoil anything and that goes for all of my readers. And again thank you for the clarification and I hope you continue read this story and find enjoyment in it.

Anyways this is the longest chapter so I'm happy about that. I also honestly will not be surprised if I receive criticisms or flames for this chapter due to some of the things I did. To them all I will say is I know what did and I have no regrets and they fitted with my story in my eyes. So that all for now. Expect another chapter soon and a poll as well. My other story Enigma of Olympus will be updated this week as well so look forward to that.

Well I'm out so…. Read, Review and as always…ENJOY!
