Caboose.

"Hey, its me!" Cabose called out as his picture covered the overhead screen. "Hi me!" He said while waving.

"Awww," Nora whined.

"Yes!" Naruto shouted in triumph.

"No!" Jaune shouted in defeat.

"That's my partner!" Naruto cheered. He then turned to those who betted on Nora and held his hand out. "Pay up fuckers!" The others who had betted on Caboose also held out their hands looking expectantly at team Nora.

"The match was well played by both of you," Glynda said as she complimented the two fighters.

"Ms. Valkyrie," Nora looked towards Glynda. "You showed great ingenuity in focusing on what you believed was your opponents weak point and exploited it with hit and run tactics albeit though I recommend more work on the run part. I also recommend you focus a lot more on close range fighting and increasing your defense. I saw to many openings that could be exploited in the field if you're not careful. I also recommend finding a more efficient way to carry ammo as well as reload your weapon. Not everyone will just sit in the smoke like Mr. Caboose." Nora gave a mock salute and a wink to show she understood.

"Now Mr. Caboose," Glynda began. "Your aim is very good for someone your age but not the greatest. You waisted far too many bullets in this fight. You proved that even though your weapon is distinctly for mid to long range that you are capable of close range combat. My biggest suggestion is getting better at aiming. I also take notice that you seem to only use fire Dust. I recommend more elements. The effects they have can be helpful in different situations and in different ways.

"Yes that way I'll have all the colors of the rainbow," Caboose said happily.

Glynda gave him a bland look. "Right… Anyway if you two will head back to your seats I will randomize the names for the next fighters. The two nodded and began making their way back to their friends.

"That's what I'm talking about Caboose!" Naruto cheered as he swung an arm over Cabooses shoulder when he and Nora had made it. Though he had to jump a bit. Caboose was the tallest person on the team while he was the shortest. "That means the first win of the first fight of the first the year goes to team UMPR!"

"Yay!" Caboose said happily. Percy and Roxas both huffed in satisfaction and agreement.

"Damn he's right," Jaune said irked. Then a thought came to him. "That means the first loss of the first fight of the first year is team JNPR," He whispered. Then he began to comically cry. "Whhyyy!"

"Because we are awesome," Naruto gloated. "Deal with it,"

"Yeah well it's not like you got the first win of the first fight of the first the year," Jaune shot back. "You can claim it when we have a team battle,"

"Ah whatever," Naruto dismissed. "I have no doubt that the rest of us will win our first matches," Naruto said confidently. He looked to Roxas and Percy. The three gave similar grins and all pointed their thumbs up.

"Caboose can I ask you a question?" Weiss said speaking up. Caboose turned to look at her. "Where did you learn Gun-Kata?"

"Shit I didn't think she would recognize it," Church growled. As far as he had known Weiss had never been particularly interested in the military of Atlas. 'Then again with who her father is then her meeting military officials isn't so much a surprise and she probably went to visit Winter occasionally on base so she probably saw one of them giving a lesson to those who wanted to learn how to do it,'

Thankfully he had an answer prepped.

"Caboose repeat after me," Church said.

"I can't say for sure because I'm not allowed to but it was from one of the 5 masters," Caboose said to Weiss. Weiss shrugged in understanding. There were so many rules and regulations in place in Atlas's military Caboose probably broke a rule saying that much. But still something felt… off about his explanation. And the way he used Gun-Kata. But she couldn't figure out what it was.

She decided to put a pin in it for later. It wasn't like Caboose was going anywhere, she had four whole year's with him to find out.

"I see, that makes sense," Weiss agreed finally speaking.

"Now on to the next fight," Glynda bellowed. The students turned to see the Screen going through random pictures for the next fight.

Naruto was on the edge of his seat in hopes of being next. He really wanted to get down there and fight. That last match had been loud, explosive, and destucive.

His favorite kind.

Unfortunately, our dear friend would not get his chance as the screen finally stopped on the two names for the next match.

Opening begins.

Ima mi te iru kono keshiki wa

Naruto is shown. He lifts the goggles off his eyes and onto his forehead. Behind him are scenes from his time in the show. From arguing with Ruby to stuffing his face with food or arguing with Roxas or Percy. He gets into a fighting position and throws a few punches. He makes a swing with his leg across the screen.

iroase te iru no

After the foot disappears it shows Caboose. He is facing away from the screen and seems to be trying to draw on something. In the background it shifts threw scenes of his day to day life. From smiling at whatever Church is yelling at him about to eating ice cream messily and saying something that causes everyone around at him to look at him in shock or face fault. Caboose turns around and walks up and begins drawing on the camera with a goofy grin.

Percy is looking at the screen with a confused look. The scenes in his background go from him running from a group of fangirls.

Percy seems to realize something throws a towel at the camera.

iware te mo mi ta koto nante nai kara

Roxas is sitting down and throwing a ball at a shadow in front of him and it comes down from above him after entering the shadow. He repeats this process over and over. His scenes are that of him showing off with his swords while Jaune looks on sadly, having a staring contest with Ruby and losing and poking his head from behind a column with sunglasses and a hat on looking at something. He notices the camera. He gains a mischievous look and throws the ball at the screen.

Opening end.

Weiss Schnee vs. Percy Jackson.

"Awwww,"

"Awwww,"

Naruto blinked as he looked at the seats behind him. Ruby looked down as well to stare at Naruto. Apparently they both were upset at not having a chance to fight. Then the two realized they had agreed on something.

They shivered and turned away from each other.

"Welp, looks like I'm up," Percy grunted as he made his way to the stage. Weiss was right behind him.

'This should be an easy win,' Weiss thought to herself.

"Alright doesn't matter that I'm not about to fight," Naruto said. "Our second win is about to come through,"

"As if," Ruby scoffed. "Weiss is gonna win,"

"Put your money where your mouth is," Naruto countered.

"Don't want to," Ruby said. "But I will put up food," Naruto thought about it for a moment before nodding in agreement. "I'll bet a fresh batch of cookies, and my dessert for the next week,"

"Ok," Naruto agreed. "I bet my dessert for next week and you can have my first tray of one dinner of your choosing,"

"No you bet all the dinner trays for the day I choose, and I'll throw in 2 more batches of cookies,"

"Stop shoving your cookies down my throat woman!" Naruto shouted. "How about the same extension as my bet,"

"Deal!" Ruby agreed quickly.

"Ok so for Ruby it's a batch of cookies, a week of dessert, and one dinner," Roxas said as he wrote the bets down. "And for Naruto a week of dessert and one dinner,"

"Hey I bet more!" Ruby accused. "You bet something else,"

"Fine I'll bet cookies and cream ice cream," Naruto grumbled.

"Acceptable," Ruby said.

"Shut up," Naruto growled. "Anyone else," He said while looking around.

"I'll bet a weeks' worth of Ren's pancakes and my dessert on Weiss," Nora said cheerfully.

"I'll will also my dessert on Weiss," Ren said.

Jaune was torn. On one hand a pretty girl who he thought might be interested in him. Or the guy who had proven to be helpful to him. Then he thought back to when Percy had thrown his trident. That took a lot of precise aim and power. "I'll bet on Percy, next week's dessert,"

"My bets on Percy," Pyrrha said. "two weeks' worth of dessert,"

"Wow that's a lot of confidence," Yang commented. "Let's make this double or nothing. Winners and losers from the last round bet what they already did plus what they did this time,"

"Sounds fair," Roxas said. "Next week's dessert on Percy for me," He said as he wrote it down.

"Count me for Weiss," Yang said.

"Same here," Blake agreed.

"And you Caboose," Roxas asked.

"Percy," Cabose said.

"I'll just put you down for dessert," Roxas said as he wrote it down. "Alright bets are placed,"

"Get ready to taste defeat Red," Naruto said smugly.

"In your dreams," Ruby scoffed. "KICK HIS BUTT WEISS!" She cheered.

"YOU GOT THIS PERCY!" Naruto shouted. "SHOW HER THE MIGHT OF TEAM UMPR!"

"SHOW HIM THE MIGHT OF TEAM RWBY!" Ruby counterd.

"UMPR!"

"RWBY!"

"UMPR!"

"RWBY!"

"JNPR!"

Ruby and Naruto turned to Nora. "What you were calling your team name out, why can't I do mind," The two looked at her before going back to cheering. The others soon joined them.

"C'MON PARTNER YOU GOT THIS!"

"TAKE HIM OUT WEISS!"

"BREAK HIS LEGS WEISS!"

"I'LL TELL THALIA IF YOU LOSE!"

"WILL YOU BE QUIET!" Weiss shouted having enough of the yelling. The group immediately went silent.

"I take it that annoyed you?" Percy said with an eyebrow raised.

"How could you stand that," Weiss asked.

Percy immediately thought about his friend in Mistral. "I've had experience with a rowdy bunch before," he said simply.

"I bet," Weiss snorted. She didn't say it out loud but she was confident this would be an easy win. She appreciated Percy for the lesson in leadership he had taught her and she recognized him to know that he at least had enough skill to get into Beacon. But she couldn't help but feel confidant.

She had been trained by professionals, she had her lessons and everything. While not the best leader she was definitely the better fighter between the two.

"Are you two ready?" Glynda asked.

"Uh sure," Percy said scratching his head. Neró weaponized into its trident form.

Weiss didn't say anything. She just got into her stance and held Myrtenaster in front of her.

"Alright…Begin!"

Weiss moved instantly. She slid towards Percy at full speed. Finish the fight quickly and efficiently.

Winter had taught her that.

Force him to back up and box him out with Glyphs. It would take him by surprise. He didn't stand a chance.

She was about to make contact. With his arm.

Wait?

Percy had moved to the side and held his arm out. The arm made contact with her neck. Percy had clotheslined her.

A collective ooohhhh had come from the audience.

"Shit that had to hurt," Naruto said.

"Looks like her speed was used against her," Blake commented.

"Who knew Percy could be brutal," Jaune winced.

"I'm more amazed that he could react so fast," Ren said.

"That had to have happened in the span of a second," Roxas said. "If that,"

"That's the power of blue," Caboose said.

"More like wrestling," Yang muttered. "Plus I think it's more sea green,"

'What the hell,' Weiss thought.

Why hadn't he used his weapon. Why hadn't he backed up like he was supposed.

'No time to think about that,' Weiss thought. 'She righted herself and activated a glyph to catch her. She planted her feet and shot off of it to get back into the ring.

That had been her next mistake. Percy thrusted Nero forward and caught Weiss by the throat between two of the, spikes. Not letting up he threw her around and slammed her in the ground keeping her pinned.

The center spike folded in to reveal a barrel. Percy cocked the gun. Weiss looked at him with wide eyes.

"And the winner is Mr. Jackson," Glynda spoke up.

It was silent.

"Wow." Jaune awed. "That uh, that did not go well for her,"

"Gee ya think," Yang snorted.

"Looks like that's another win under team UMPR's belt and another bet I win," Naruto said with a smirk. Though he seemed to be easy going his eyes had never left Percy.

"Damn," Roxas said. "Your blunt,"

"Whatever," Naruto shrugged. "By the way Ruby thanks for all the food next week. I'll be eating like a king,"

Ruby crossed her arms and began to grumble to herself. She really wanted that ice cream.

Weiss was still trying to figure out what had just happened. The only person she had ever known to counter her frontal was her sister. And she was the one who taught it to her. And as far as she had known Percy had never seen her fight to her knowledge except in class and she only did it once.

Had he really countered her attack after only seeing it once.

"Wow your fast," Percy spoke up as he held his hand out to her. "I didn't even know you could do that,"

Ok so he had never seen her use it and he still countered it.

What the fuck!

This boy. This unruly juvenile dropout of a boy had beaten her. By clotheslining her.

This wasn't supposed to happen. It wasn't! She was supposed to win. By all accounts she had the advantage. Or she should have.

"Mr. Jackson I must say that was quite efficient," Ms. Goodwitch praised.

"Really?" Percy asked as he scratched his cheek. "I kinda just reacted,"

"Be that as it may it is your win," The blonde said. She then turned her attention to Weiss. "Ms. Schnee I hope you learned your lesson from this,"

Weiss looked at her with confusion. "What lesson?"

"Never go in to a fight with overconfidence,"

Ok that. That had stung. Weiss's eyes widened at the implication and at the fact that the teacher could tell what had happened.

"Making assumptions in an opponent's strength can be what leads to your downfall in a fight," Glynda said loudly so the entire class could hear. "As you can see hear this fight was basically over before it began,"

Weiss looked down while clenching her rapier tight and gritting her teeth. It was a fluke! This boy did not beat her. He wasn't stronger than her! She refused to believe that a dropout was stronger than her.

"Now normally I would send both fighters back into the stance and choose two new fighters," Glynda said. "But since I was only able to give a full evaluation to Ms. Schnee I will only have her go back," She then turned her attention to Percy. "You Mr. Jackson are allowed to either pick a new opponent or I can randomize it."

"PICK ME PERCY!" Naruto shouted.

"FORGET HIM I WANT TO FIGHT!" Ruby shouted.

"NO LET ME GO AGAIN!" Nora shouted. "I HAVE TO REDEEM MYSELF,"

"FORGET THAT, YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE!" Naruto countered.

"WHY ARE WE YELLING!" Caboose asked as he joined in.

Percy looked up at his friends for a moment then at Weiss. Truth be told he wanted to choose her to give her a proper chance to show her skills so he was going to choose her. Then he felt them. The pair of eyes that he knew was still looking at him. The eyes that were telling him to pick them.

And if he was being honest he wanted to pick them. So he did.

"For my next opponent I choose Pyrrha," Percy said with confidence.

Nobody could see it but a slight smile had appeared on Pyrrha's face. And not her usual smile. This was one of pure excitement.

"AAAAWWWW,"

"AAAAWWWW,"

"AAAAWWWW,"

Naruto Nora and Ruby looked at each other. Nora just smiled. Naruto and Ruby however were glaring daggers at each other.

"Stop copying me!" The both shouted at each other.

"Me!" They yelled looking offened.

"Copying you!" They pointed at each other.

"You wish!" They mocked. Then they realized they were still doing it.

"Quit it!" They yelled.

"Make me!" They shouted as they both began reaching for their weapons.

"Mr. Uzumaki, Ms. Rose if your finished I would like to get to the match," Glynda spoke up, a tic mark on her head.

They both looked sheepish and scratched the back of their heads with embarresed smiles. "S-sorry Ms. Goodwitch," Then realized they had done it again settled for glaring at each other so to stay out of trouble.

"Wow," Roxas commented. "If I didn't know any better I would think you two planned that,"

"Shut up," Naruto grumbled.

"So are we placing bets this time around as well,"

"Triple or nothing!" Ruby immediately shouted. She had lost everything in the last bet except her lien. She needed a way to get her cookies back.

"Sure same for me," Naruto said.

"Same here," Jaune agreed.

"Yep," Yang agreed.

"Sounds good,"

"Alright so triple or nothing for everyone," Roxas said as he wrote it down. "That was easy,"

"Alright time for another win for UMPR!" Naruto cheered.

"Doesn't count to your all team first win," Ruby countered.

"So," Naruto snorted. "We'll never lose, right boys,"

"Yep,"

"Neat!"

"Don't count on it," Ruby countered.

"Whatever you say," Naruto shrugged. At that moment Weiss had made it back to the group.

"Hey Weiss it's ok you'll win the next one!" Ruby said trying to cheer her up. Weiss didn't respond. She simply sat down and looked down. Ruby reached out to put her hand on her shoulder but Blake stopped her.

Her eyes conveyed the message not now. Ruby seemed to understand and decided to listen for now. She would show her support when she needed to. Ruby then changed her focus to the next match. Everyone else did the same thing.

"I was hoping you would choose me," Pyrrha said as she faced down Percy.

"Yeah and to be honest I want to know the answer too," Percy answered.

"Yeah but it's too bad the others can't be here to witness," Pyrrha said.

"Oh don't worry I'll tell them in detail about how I beat you," Percy smirked.

"You do realize you're talking down to a four-time champion," Pyrrha countered

"Three-time," Percy corrected. "Your third win doesn't count,"

"Well let's make it official then," Pyrrha said as she got into a fighting stand with Miló in its sword form and Akoúo̱ in front of her.

"Couldn't have said it better myself," Percy said as he spun Neró.

"Are both fighters ready," Glynda asked. She received a nod from both of them. "Then… Begin!"

Pyrrha didn't waste time moving. She shot forward with her shield in front of her.

Knowing that cloth lining her wouldn't work like last time Percy decided to dodge out of the way. When she passed him he swung his trident around to hit her in the back. Pyrrha was heady however as she managed to block with her sword but just barely.

Not wanting her to gain any kind of composure Percy spun Neró around to go for another swing so to knock her out of the ring. Pyrrha wasn't having it however. She ducked down at the second swing. When it passed she leapt and back flipped over Percy so to get away from the edge.

Wanting to gain some distance she transformed Miló into its rifle form and began shooting at Percy while backing up so to keep him from moving. Percy immediately began running so to avoid the shots.

Finally, far enough Pyrrha stopped firing. Percy looked at her as he had stopped running. The two looked at each other for a moment. Then the two charged at each other. Pyrrha transformed Miló into its Javeline form and put Akoúo on her back.

The two clashed in the center. The two stood there trying to overpower the other. It was soon made apparent that Percy was the stronger of the two. Pyrrha backed up and spun to make a swipe at Percy who blocked with his trident. He countered immediately with a swipe of his own.

Pyrrha dodged the hit and made for a jab but Percy dodged. Pyrrha however didn't let up with it and kept jabbing but Percy continued to dodge. Having enough. Percy activated the other end of the second trident and swiped it upward. This caused Pyrrha to stumble backward so to not get hit.

Percy used the opportunity to make another swipe at Pyrrha. Pyrrha only managed to dodge barely but it was all she needed. Having recovered she charged at Percy and began to spin Miló around her just like she had seen Nora do during her fight with Caboose. Percy realizing the situation began to block the barrage of spins and slashes as best he could.

As the onslaught continued the others looked on with various reaction.

"C'mon Percy!" Naruto said. "You can get passed it,"

"I doubt it," Blake said. "It looks like he's about to be overwhelmed,"

"Nah my partner will make it through," Roxas didmissed easily.

"That's it Pyrrha!" Jaune cheered. "Keep at him!"

"Take'em down!" Yang cheered.

"Beak his legs!" Nora said.

Deciding enough was enough Percy released Neró into its chained staff version. Taking the chance, he wrapped one end around the Javelin and held it to stop the attack. Pyrrha not wanting to give him an advantage aimed a kick at him but Percy didn't give her the chance. He gripped Neró tight and swung it with Miló still being held by it. Pyrrha realizing what was about happen Tried to brace herself but since she was on one leg she got carried by the swing. She along with her weapon went flying across the arena.

She rebounded and managed to land gracefully as she looked at Percy. Percy ran towards her to go in for another attack. He knew distance wasn't the best way to fight her do to his weapon and his…dilemma.

He thrusted Neró still in chained form forward from both sides forcing making her block with her shield. Percy then did a 360 degree turn swinging his trident around to hit Pyrrha from the side while she was distracted in an attempt to catch her off guard. Pyrrha noticed the weapon coming at her at the last moment.

She had just enough time to bring her sword to her side to block the trident. With Neró in such a position she stabbed forward at Percy. He stumbled back but Pyrrha wasn't done. She transformed Miló into its rifle mode and began shooting at Percy. Percy focused his aura in front of him to take the bullets. He immediately did a leap back to gain distance and make him a harder target to shoot at.

He began running around the arena so to not get hit buy the bullets.

'Well it's a little earlier than I expected but I guess I could go for it.' He thought as he continued running. He hadn't wanted to resort to it but in retrospect he should have seen it coming. He was fighting Pyrrha.

He reached onto a pocket into a pocket on his center belt. He pulled out four pure two blue Dust crystals and threw them towards Pyrrha. Pyrrha noticing the crystals stopped shooting and dived to the side. The crystals hit the ground and two small balls of water formed and exploded a moment later.

"He's throwing Dust crystals with his bare hands," Blake pointed out.

"Is he insane," Weiss nearly shrieked.

"What's the big deal?" Naruto asked. Everybody except Caboose and Ruby looked at Naruto in shock. "What?"

"Dust crystals are unstable," Weiss explained. "It's takes so much time to harness and control the energy and actually make them usable for fights," Weiss said but the look on Naruto's face said he needed more info. "Dust crystals aren't as small as they are for our weapons in the mines. Their huge. If one were to take a piece of wildly the entire crystal would go off. And even after that if the crystals come into contact with other crystals and their constantly hitting each other or something is causing friction between them then they'll all go off in a chain reaction."

Naruto continued to stare. "So!"

"SO!" Weiss nearly yelled her right eye twitching.

"So," Blake said speaking up so as to not see her teammate explode. "Percy has been carrying pure Dust crystals in his pouches and more than likely more than one in a pouch. And he's using them in such an unsafe way that the fact that he hasn't been killed by it yet is a miracle,"

"Oh I get it," Naruto said.

"How do you not know this stuff," Weiss asked angrily. "This information is taught at primary schools,"

"A what?"

"The place you were before here!"

"I wasn't anywhere before here," Naruto answered.

Once again the entire group excluding Ruby and Caboose looked at him in shock.

"WHAT!"

Percy had charged straight towards Pyrrha. He was going to go for another close range fight. It was the best way to get his plan into action. He spun Neró around for a swing. Pyrrha held up her shield to block it.

She stabbed forward with her sword but Percy took a step back to get out of range. He activated the chains in his trident to bring the other end for a stab catching her off guard. Pyrrha quickly bent backwards as the other side of Neró passed over her. She quickly lifted Miló up to push the trident away and right herself up.

They were in a stalemate. Pyrrha was blocking both ends of Neró with Miló and Akoúo̱ so to not get hit by both sides.

"I can't believe this," Weiss whispered in shock. Percy Jackson by all means shouldn't have been at Beacon. He got in on pure luck. At least that's what she thought. She was thankful for the conversation she had had with him about leadership and her respect for him had gone up a few notches. But that was it.

From everything she had been taught and raised to believe this boy shouldn't have become a huntsman. He was a dropout that never finished school and on top of that he had got into Beacon by accident. Everything about him screamed that he wasn't huntsman materiel.

Yet hear he was in a stalemate with Pyrrha Nikos! This was inconceivable! Then a memory hit her. Something that Pyrrha had said to her right before the relic exam.

Flashback

"Can you believe that guy," Weiss said. "Probably got in on a fluke,"

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Pyrrha explained.

"What do you mean?" Weiss asked curiously.

"Do you recall my third championship win?" Pyrrha said.

"Yeah I remember," Weiss finally answered. "Some unknown had swept through the competition, only to give up in the finals,"

"Well he just walked away with Jaune,"

Flashback end

No way. She had dismissed it at the time but now…

(Chico with Honeyworks- Identity starts playing)

"Your quiet the tough opponent Percy," Pyrrha said as she continued blocking.

"Yeah you too," Percy remarked.

"I bet our fight in the championship would have been grand,"

"Oh hell yeah," Percy agreed. "If it wasn't the Stolls would have been pissed,"

The stalemate continued as Pyrrha struggled. Percy's strength was starting to overcome her.

"I think they were pissed anyway since we didn't fight," Pyrrha remarked.

"Nah," Percy dismissed "They understood my reasons,"

"Oh that's good,"

"Yeah and I hope you understand my reasons,"

Pyrrha blinked in surprise. "Reasons in what?"

"In why your about to lose,"

Pyrrha looked at him before smiling. "Will see about that,"

(Cue first chorus)

With that said Pyrrha brought up both of her feet and aimed a spear kick at Percy's chest. It hit its mark and he stumbled backwards. He recovered in time as Pyrrha had leapt at him and slashed her sword downward. He brought Neró up just in time to block and use the momentum to throw her over him.

Not being deterred Pyrrha threw her shield with precision. Percy ducked under just in time as it passed over him. Still in the air Pyrrha began shooting with her rifle while Percy charged towards her. He weaved and dodged the bullets as best he could but he still got hit by a few.

Realizing what was about to happen Pyrrha turned Miló into its javelin form and got ready for another close range fight. She brought Miló down in for a slam causing Percy to fall short of his destination. Not letting up she quickly charged at Percy and went for a stab. Percy dodged and Neró to get her side. Pyrrha reacted by twirling the javelin in her hand to make it vertical so she could block the oncoming trident. As the made contact Pyrrha stood her ground. A moment later she lifted her feet to give another spear kick but Percy was ready this time. He dropped Neró and grabbed the offending legs. Pyrrha's eyes widened in surprise and dread for she knew what was coming next.

With a shout Percy swung Pyrrha around and flung her. Pyrrha decided this might be the best chance to recover so she did something bold. It seemed Percy had the same thought as he kicked Neró up and aimed.

(Cue second chorus)

The two cocked their arms back and threw their respective weapons. The weapons collided with a CLANG and fell to the ground a moment later. Percy made a dash for his weapon. Pyrrha noticed that she had landed near her shield and threw it once again at Percy before running for her weapon as well.

Percy seeing the shield but didn't want to take any chances went for a risk. He leapt forward as Akoúo̱ was near him. He caught the shield and with a spin threw in right back at Pyrrha to keep its momentum up.

Pyrrha slid under the shield as it passed by her and grabbed Miló a moment later. Percy had leapt over her and grabbed Neró.

The two spun around and quickly got up. They swung their respective weapon around and swung for their opponent's neck. They were about the make contact.

RRRIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGG

The two of them stopped mid swing just at each other's necks. Their weapons mere inches from making contact with each other.

"Huh?" Percy asked.

"It seems that will be all for the day," Glynda said as she walked up to the arena. Combat class was over.

"Oh come on don't leave us with a cliff hanger. The match was just getting good!" Naruto complained.

"I would like to congratulate the both of you," Glynda said, completely ignoring Naruto. She turned to Pyrrha. "It seems that your championship title as well as your name is greatly earned, Ms. Nikos. You calculated your opponents moves and responded accordingly."

Pyrrha blushed under the compliments. "Thank you ma'am,"

Glynda nodded before turning to Percy. "You Mr. Jackson surprised me very much. I see now that the scholarship you were given wasn't a fluke or luck,"

"Uh thanks?" Percy said unsure

"You reacted to your opponent's attacks and continually attacked so to not give her a chance to react or plan forcing her to fall into the flow that you created. Though I must say that using Dust crystals bare handed is quite dangerous. Which brings me to my next question," Glynda said before waving her hand around the arena. "Why on earth did you do this?"

Pyrrha finally took a moment to look around and her eyes widened in surprise. The arena had been littered with blue Dust crystals.

"At first I had assumed you had a hole in your pockets but as I observed you I noticed you were purposely dropping them onto the ground,"

Flashback

Percy was running so to not get shot by Pyrrha. He moved his free hand to his pouches and took out Blue Dust crystals and dropped them as he ran.

Percy jumped back as Pyrrha mad for a stab. He dropped a few more crystals

He swiped at Pyrrha who blocked. He pushed forward causing her to stumble. As she stumbled he dropped a few more crystals.

Flashback end

"What prey tell where you planning to do?"

"Well I was-" Percy began but then realized Pyrrha was still there. Realizing that it was still a volatile strategy since he hadn't used it decided to keep it secret. He beckoned Ms. Godwitch to come closet.

Glynda hesitated but eventually indulged him. When she was close enough he whispered into her ear. Pyrrha couldn't tell what was being said but from the look of surprise on Ms. Goodwitches face it was something amazing.

"How would you pull that off?" She asked. "You couldn't unless…" Her sentence trailed off as Percy opened a small hatch in the center of Neró and showed her what was inside. Glynda's eyes widened at what was inside. "How did you get that?" She asked.

"It was a gift," He answered. Whatever was in the trident was something that enough to shock Glynda. This only raised more alarm bells in Pyrrha's head. A moment later the hatch closed and only Glynda and Percy knew what was inside.

"I see now," Glynda said. "I honestly regret ending your battle so early. Well I am sure that you two will be showing us more amazing skills throughout the year and during the Vytal festival."

Pyrrha and Percy nodded in excitement. "That goes for the rest of you!" Glynda said as she looked at the 14 gathered freshman (Don't forget CRDN is hear) in the audience. "This is only your first year and only your second day but I guarantee you will learn so mush during your time hear in honing your skills and becoming great Huntsman and Huntresses by the time you graduate."

Looks of happiness and excitement made their way across the freshmen faces.

"With that being said class is over and I will see you next Tuesday. And if I haven't said it yet then… Welcome to Beacon,"

Line Break

"Man Percy that was awesome," Naruto complimented. "It's too bad that it was a draw though,"

Don't sweat it, Percy said. "It won't be next time,"

"Your right," Pyrrha said as she walked up next to them. "Because I will be winning,"

"Suuurrreeee," Percy said sarcastically.

"Well either way I just won a buffet for next week," Naruto said. "Isn't that right red," He said smirking at Ruby.

"Quiet you," She hissed. She was miffed that she had lost. Thankfully she only had to pay the double and not the triple since there was no conclusion to Percy and Pyrrha's fight.

"And with that there are only two more wins that, UMPR needs," Naruto boasted.

"You won't get them," Ruby said.

"Watch us,"

"You won't," Ruby said.

"Red if either me or Roxas lose or draw in our first fight for combat class I'll bake you, cookies,"

A spark entered Ruby's eyes. "Deal!" She said without hesitation. She couldn't say no to cookies.

"Well that just happened," Roxas commented as he walked next to Blake and Ren. When neither responded he decided to continue. "Do you two want to get in on the bet?" Again he received no answer. "Yeah great talk you two must be great at parties,"

"Yep," Was said by both Blake and Ren at the same time. Roxas looked between the two. "Dear Oum it's like your twins,"

Suddenly there was a loud shriek. The group lookd up to see a large group of girls staring at them. Well more specifically…Well you already know.

Percy groaned. "Man it's like they won't go away,"

"They're like a rash," Naruto said.

"I don't know rather to be jealous of afraid for you," Jaune said.

"How about both," Roxas spoke up as he put a hand on Nora's shoulder so she wouldn't attack the girls. Ren unconsciously stood in front of her.

"So what do we do?" Percy asked.

"I got this," The group turned to see it was Yang who had spoken.

"You?"

"Yep," Yang said with a sly grin. Without another word she walked up to Percy but she did it in such a way that sashayed her hips. She shoved Naruto aside to stand next to Percy. "Hey Percy quick question?"

"Yeah," Percy answered.

"You've had your first kiss right?"

"Um… Yeah?" Percy said.

"Good now I won't feel guilty,"

"Guilty what are mmm!" Percy was interrupted as Yang grabbed his face and brought him in for a kiss.

Looks of shock and shouts of surprise and protest went all around the friends and the fangirls.

"Well then," Roxas said. Pyrrha took a picture. Blake simply sighed at her partner's antics.

"Huh," Naruto said as he and Caboose both tilted their heads. Ruby merely side. This was nothing new for her. It was a known fact that Yang had had a few 'boy toy' as she put it back n patch. Most of which couldn't handle her and all that lasted less than two weeks. Ruby still remembered times with helping Yang sneak her 'boy toy' or just Yang herself in and out of the house so as to not get caught by their dad.

Now that didn't make her a slut oh no. While she had fun she remained pure.

Ruby remembered one particular boy she had been with had lasted about three days. He had gotten a little too frisky with her and when he asked why she wasn't putting out like she did for everyone else he had found himself in the wall a moment later. The next day a few other boys had been beaten to a pulp after she found out what they were saying. She had made it clear that that wouldn't be happening with any of them. Ever.

Unfortunately, some people still called her that behind her back but she took it in stride. It seems she didn't mind people calling her that because her thoughts went along the lines of 'Their not brave enough to say it to my face so whatever'. What she didn't tolerate was boys saying that they went farther than they did. She had made that clear multiple times. Either you told the truth about what happened or you didn't speak.

The kiss between Yang and Percy lasted for about 10 seconds. After they broke apart Percy had this lost look in his face. Then with a smile Yang latched herself onto his arm and began leading them to their rooms. The fangirls parted ways for them but looks of envy were clearly on their face. The others quickly followed after the two.

After arriving at their hall Yang let go of Percy who still just looked lost.

"Well that was fun!" Yang said.

"What was that about?" Jaune asked.

"A distraction and a deterrent," Yang explained. "Now they will think he's taken but not for long. I give it a few weeks before one of them realizes that it was a sham or just stop giving a fuck," Yang said before smacking Percy on his back. "Until then your safe buddy,"

Percy still didn't respond. Caboose began waving his hand in front of him. "I think he's broken,"

"I got this," Pyrrha said. "Percy look blue food,"

"Where!" Percy said whipping his head from side to side. When he realized there was no blue food he pouted. "That was mean,"

"It got you out of your stupor didn't it," Pyrrha remarked.

"Man what a day," Naruto said. "I can't wait to get in the ring,"

"Seriously that's what you're ready for," Jaune said.

"Yep I'm itching for a fight,"

"Well I don't know about you but I'm about to go take a shower then go to dinner," Roxas said.

"Same here," Jaune said.

"That sounds like a good idea,"

"Sure why not," A moment later the entire group had agreed to take showers and then head to dinner.

Line Break

After dinner the groups were once again heading back to their rooms to retire for the night. As the groups conversed Ruby had pulled Weiss aside to talk to her.

"Weiss are you ok?" Ruby asked. "You've been quiet for a while now," Ruby knew exactly how long she had been quiet. She had been like this since her loss against Percy.

"Yeah I'm fine," Weiss said dismissively.

"Liar," Ruby said catching Weiss by surprise. "After that fight I wouldn't be either,"

"Oh yeah," Weiss said venomously. "And what would you know about how I feel. You've never been humiliated like that."

"Yes I have,"

Weiss recoiled from her partner's bluntness.

"My older sister is Yang," Ruby said. "And in spars she doesn't believe in going easy," Weiss thought about it for a moment and found that completely believable despite only seeing the blonde fight once and barely at that. "I've never beaten her in a spar," Ruby continued. "I get the frustration. I train and I train but no matter how much I do I always lose. And before you say it's because its older then think about this. If that was the reason then imagine my situation now," Ruby said interrupting her. "I am literally the youngest person at what is probably the best huntsman school and everyone else is yours and Yang's age or older except Naruto who's a year older than me." Ruby seemed to be slightly shaking. She wasn't used to talking about her personal fears. "So basically I'm up against all of these people who are older than me and have more experience than me. And if I could never beat my sister than what are my chances against you, or Pyrrha or Percy or anyone,"

Weiss looked down at Ruby in shock. The girl had a point. She was the youngest and everyone here had at least a year of experience over her.

"But I won't let that stop me," Ruby continued as steel entered her voice. "Every time I fall I'll get up again. And I'll keep doing that until I'm the best and can properly stand next to all of you,"

This girl.

She had all of these very realistic and justifiable fears yet hear she was. She was always smiling and trying to find ways to be mischievous. Yet behind that she was thinking of ways to better herself in any way she could.

At that moment all doubt left Weiss's mind about Ruby. She completely and utterly deserved to be here. She had earned her place at Beacon.

Weiss took a deep breath. A moment later she began to speak. "Ruby you have nothing to worry about. You'll get stronger and I'll do what I can to help you,"

Ruby looked at her in surprise then she began shaking her head. "Waahh! You're not supposed to cheer me up I'm supposed to cheer you up!" She said as her feet and hands began to move frantically in a comical way.

"Ruby," Weiss said causing the younger girl to stop. "Thank you,"

Ruby looked at her before smiling.

Line Break

It was the middle of the night and everyone was asleep. All except Ruby. She had waited until everyone was asleep to make her way to the closet. When the door was closed she turned on her flashlight and looked at the item in her hands. It was a book titled 'Legends of Remnant'

She quickly began flipping through the stories searching for a specific one. She combed through it but became frustrated when all of the stories had not been the one she was looking for.

In reality Ruby didn't know exactly what she was looking for but she had a hunch. So far all of these stories she had read at one point or another At least until she got to the last one.

"Huh at least there was one new one," Ruby mumbled. "Legend of the of the silver eyed warrior," She said as she said the title. 'Well I'm up anyway,' She thought. Maybe it was fortune or just bad luck depending how one saw it. But no one would see it. Not even Ruby as she was to enraptured in the story as she read it.

No one would see the flashlight go out. No one would see the grimm in emerald forest and forever fall shiver for a brief moment as if feeling a dangerous presence near. No one would see Naruto's fur darken or his tails splitting into nine for the time that Ruby was reading the story in reaction to Ruby.

And no one would see how Ruby Roses silver eyes began to shine slightly as she continued to read the story.

No one would because it was only for a few minutes. And as it had come it would fade the same way. With no one knowing.

No one.

And that was the chapter 7. I worked hard over this chapter and I hope you all enjoy it. I know it's not my longest chapter but it's one of my best ones. I hope you enjoy it and I can't wait to do the next chapter for you. I especially hope the mystical shrouded ending I gave you guys. And if you don't know the song I used for the fight with Pyrrha just look it up. As for the Weiss fight I must start by saying that it was necessary. It's not bashing I don't dislike Weiss. I feel this has something she needed. I know I have her the pep talk and all but the fact is that she was raised in such a way that she is by all accounts spoiled. One pep in reality one small pep talk will not be enough to change her mind. This will help develop her character in a way that I think would be good. As for Percy and Yang. Hot damn! But seriously if that's the pairing you want let me know but I keep no promises. And as for Yang as well. I don't think she's a slut. I actually know a girl that reminded me of Yang and those are her actual thoughts. She doesn't 'put out' but she has made out and or dated a few 'boytoys' And I get her reasoning on the slut thing. Honestly she;s more of a man slayer because boys are just attracted to her it's ridiculous. Personally I don't see it but that might be more do to her being a childhood friend. Anyway soon I'll have more as well as openings and endings. Send me your thoughts questions and everything else. Well as always Read, Review and… BOO! Happy Haloween!
