Speak to self

Speaking to Xeno


The group of nine fall back to a ruins where the only way out is a worn down stone bridge and a tower to climb up on.

The giant Nevermore passed by and landed on top of the stone tower and screeched. To Joseph, it reminded him of Omnigal's screams.

Joseph grouped up with Nora and Ren.

The DeathStalker, pissed, pursuited the group and the Nevermore getting ready to attack.

"Nora, distract it!" Ren said.

"Nora, I'll cover!" Joseph said. He summoned his sentinel shield and ran with Nora, covering her from the feathers. "Nora, you can shoot through my shield." Joseph said. Nora nodded and grabbed her grenade launcher shooting the Nevermore.

"Joseph behind you!" Xeno said.

Joseph quickly turned and ran towards the DeathStalker and shield bashed it's head and retreated back to the group.

As they retreated to the bridge the Nevermore rammed through the bridge. Having Pyrrha, Ren, and Blake separated from them.

Joseph grabs his sniper, and starts to shoot the Nevermore. "Damn, that bird is getting annoying." He said, He then sees Blake on top of the Nevermore slashing its back."

"That girl is crazy!" Xeno said

"Hahaha! I know!" Joseph laughed.

Blake regrouped with Ruby, Yang, and Weiss on top of a monument . Joseph joined them.

"That thing is tougher than it looks!" Blake said.

Yang racks her shotgun gauntlets. "Then let's hit it with everything we've got!"

"Right with you!" Joseph said. Joseph raised his right arm, focusing it with solar light to forge a golden gun. The five focused fired at the Nevermore but it rammed the monument having mostly everything collapse down.

Joseph quickly activated Dawnblade, and jumped up and glided to falling rock to falling rock to get to where Yang is shooting the Nevermore with its gauntlets . "Need assistance?" Joseph said. He hovered next to Yang as he started to throw flaming swords at the Nevermore.

"Joseph! Yang!" Called Ruby. "Get the Nevermore at this position!" She pointed at a building's roof.

"Got it!" Joseph said as he held a thumbs up.

As the Nevermore got closer it's mouth opened up and Yang went in the mouth, using one hand to keep the mouth open as she loaded her shotgun rounds into the Nevermores mouth. Joseph went on top of the Nevermores head and used his sword and stabbed it in the back and steered it to the cliff side, he quickly jumped off as he crashed it and landed on top of the specified building.

As the Nevermore tries to get back up, Weiss then uses her ice dust to create an ice wall in the Nevermores tail, making it stuck.

Joseph continued to shoot the Nevermores wings to make sure it didn't escape.

Ruby, with the assistance with Blake, Yang and Weiss, launches herself to the Nevermore. Rose petals, as she ascends she shoots her gun-scythe to increase her momentum. The Nevermore was caught in the blade of the scythe as a series of white circles went up the wall. Ruby continued to shoot her gun-scythe to go up with the Nevermore still caught in the blade.

"Look. At. Her. Go!" Joseph yelled with excitement

As Ruby reaches to the top, the Nevermores head was sliced off.

It's death body called to the ground, turning into dust along the way down.

As the fight was over, Ruby, on top of the cliff looked down to see everyone else. But a big figure overshadowed Ruby.

"Ruby behind you!" Cried Yang.

But as she turned she was struck by a Ursa. She started to fall down the cliff.

"Ruby!" Cried Yang

Joseph quickly instant transmissioned to Ruby and caught her before she hit the ground. Joseph, carrying Ruby, gilded all the way down.

"Y'know, that was an excellent show that your team displayed. Even with that plan was great!" Complimented Joseph. "You'd be a great team leader."

"Thanks!" Said Ruby.

They both landed and Yang quickly hugged Ruby. "I'm glad you're okay!" She said,

A loud crash stumbled upon them. The Ursa went down, wanting to eat someone.

Yang, stopped hugging Ruby, she erupts into anger, flame surrounds her, her eyes red. "WHO EVER HURTS MY SISTER GETS IT!" She yelled.

Joseph put his arm in front of Yang. "Hold up now." He says as he moved in front of Yang. "As much as I understand about killing those who hurt your sister, I want to do this."

More Ursa's started to fall down the cliff even Beowolfs jumped down.

"By yourself?" Asked Ruby.

"Well, I haven't fought these guys in the initiation test. Only fought that bird and scorpion." Joseph stopped and looked back. He put his thumbs up and smiled, "Trust me, I'm tough to kill permanently."

"Permanently? What does he mean by that?" Blake asked.

Joseph walked calmly towards the group of Grimm. As the Ursa swung its arm, Joseph quickly cut its arm off with arc blades.

All were surprised, as they blinked the Ursa's arm was sliced off. "What just happened?" Asked Yang.

"Did he just cut the Ursa's arm?" Yang asked.

"So fast!" Weiss said astonished.

Joseph grabbed the Ursa and then threw it off the ledge. The next Ursa started to charge towards Joseph, Joseph went into a defensive stance, struck the Ursa in the face using his palm and went around it to grab its neck to snap it.

Joseph continued to fight the Grimm while the group of eight watched. "Amazing… the way Joseph fights, it's like water… but he is also quick like lighting…" Ren said

Nora nodded "yeah… wightning…" she says. Ren, Yang, and Weiss looked at Nora, "What? It's water and lighting combined." Nora explained.

A worried Ruby watched the fight between the hoards of Grimm against Joseph. She grips her scythe, Crescent Rose tightly, wanting to help.

"I know you want to help, but Joseph wouldn't want the same though." Said a male voice

"Huh? Who was that?" Asked Ruby as she looked around.

"Umm Ruby." Yang said as she pointed behind her.

Joseph moved back to grab his sniper and started to shoot the Beowolfs. "Xeno could you please stop messing with them!" He yelled. He put down his rifle and grabbed his knife and started to charge towards the Ursa

Ruby turned to see a white prism. "Woah it's you who healed Joseph!"

"Hello, I'm Xeno, Joseph's friend." Xeno said as he flies around the whole group.

"But you're just a robot." Weiss said.

"Well what do you see in a robot?" Xeno asked.

"Emotionless tools to serve humans." Weiss answered.

"Well excuse me Ice Queen!" Joseph said in the distance. He did a savage haymaker an Ursa off an edge. "Xeno has emotion and even though he serves for me, I don't use him like a slave!" He cuts Beowulf's in half with his spectral blades.

Xeno laughed. "Sorry, Joseph is protective of me. Joseph is very kind, a softy when he is just living his life. But when he is in a fight?" Xeno looks at Joseph "Watch, you all can learn a thing or two from him."

And so, the whole group watched Joseph as he continued to fight Grimm.

The Grimm couldn't even touch Joseph, he dodges and strikes them with arc knives. He shoots a Beowolfs head with Ace to explode, he reloads to make the hand cannon glow and continues to mow down the Grimm.

The air was silent, only the sound of sizzling from burning headless corpses was only audible. Joseph twirled Ace and holstered it back into his holster and put his knife back in his waist sheath. "Whew, I think that's all of them." Joseph said as he walked back to the group.

Ruby noticed three Beowolfs running towards Joseph. She pointed behind Joseph. "Behind you! Beowolfs!" She cried.

Joseph turned and drew Ace and pulled the trigger but it wasn't firing. "Shit, it's jammed." Joseph mumbled. Joseph tumbled back to dodge the Beowulf's attack and holstered Ace. He raised his hand up to summon a golden gun and fired. The Beowolves went into flames and then into nothing. Joseph twirls his golden gun as it dissipates into solar particles. "Thanks Ruby." Joseph smiled.

"Your welcome!" Ruby said.

Joseph walkes to Xeno and puts his palm under him, and pulls out Ace. "Xeno, check up on Ace of Spades. It's jammed." He sat down and grabbed some tools from his utility pouch.

Xeno scans Ace "Hmm let's see… ah!" Xeno stops scanning. "There's gunk inside the hammer and the barrel is worn out. You fired it too much Joseph, and you just got it just a month ago!" Xeno scolded

Joseph sighed "yeah, I know." He said "Gotta go to Banshee to get this fixed…" he mumbled.

"Huh what did you say?" Asked Weiss.

"Oh uh, nothing. Just gotta go to a store to get this fixed." Joseph said. He got up and holstered Ace. "Well then," he put his hands together. "Where do we go?" He asked.

"Not sure… but let's get out of here before more comes." Said Ruby.

"Yeah that's a good idea R-" rocks started to move and trapped Joseph, moving him down to his knees. "Gah! What the hell is this!?" Joseph yelled.

An airship flew with open doors to show a blonde female and a silvered hair man with a cane.

"It's Goodwitch! And Professors Ozpin!" Said Yang.

"Xeno, stay with me" Joseph said softly.

"Ok" Xeno dissipates into Joseph "Looks like we are unwelcome…"

"Yeah no kiddin. Shits tight!"

"Should we run?"

"No, if we run, it'll make things more suspicious."

"Why are you doing this to him?" asked Ruby.

"Because he doesn't belong here. He wasn't in the registered group. He came here illegally." Goodwitch said.

Everyone looked at the trapped hunter, not even trying to escape.

"Is that true?" asked Ruby.

"Yeah… " Joseph said straightforwardly.

"So you are a criminal!" Yang said.

The group tensed their weapons.

"Now now, let's not get hostile. Even though he got here illegally, we never heard the full story." Ozpin said. "Let him go Glynda." he said

"Yes professor." Goodwitch said. She lifted her wand and the rocks fell off from Joseph.

"Damn… that was tight. Heh, no mercy." Joseph said.

"So, Joseph… that's your name right?" asked Ozpin.

"Yes." He answered.

"And where's your robot friend?" Ozpin asked

Xeno materialized beside Joseph "Here," he said. Xeno jolted up, "Look, we're not criminals, we were uh…"

"You're not making this any better X…"

"Shut up I'm trying to think! We were traveling around by foot and we stumbled upon this forest! We never knew that this was an Initiation test to get into a school." Xeno said

Ozpin lifted a brow. He knows that he was lying but starts to play along. "Is that so then… how old are you Joseph?" he asked.

"Eight-teen years." Joseph replied.

"Follow me into this airship. We will talk privately." Ozpin said. "Glynda, escort the kids back to Beacon. I will talk to Joseph here." he said "Come Joseph, we shall talk inside." he walked towards the airship.

"Ok…" Joseph said. He follows Ozpin into the ship. He looks back at the eight students walking away and stares at Ruby. Why does she look so familiar? Joseph shook his head and jogged towards the airship and entered inside.
