F3: Hello everybody and welcome back and here I'm starting chapter two of my RWBY fic. First off with the disclaimers as always. RWBY is property of Rooster Teeth I only own the OC characters and the plot for what I'm going with. Alright with that out of the way Let's Rev It Up!
Volume 1-2: Initiation Jitters.
=RWBY=
Night came to Beacon Academy as first years were already getting their sleeping bags ready for tonight. Some of them mingled before hitting the sack while some were already fast asleep. Ruby was on her sleeping bag wearing a pair of light pink pajama pants with black cats on them along with a black sleeveless shirt with a grinning cat in the middle. She seemed to be writing something.
Star who just now finished changing was wears light blue pajama pants and a long button shirt with a button at the top unbuttoned. She unfurled her sleeping bag near Rubies in which she didn't mind.
"It's like one big slumber party. Am I right?" Yang said as she plopped down on her sleeping bag wears a orange sleeveless shirt with her emblem of a flame but in red along with black shorts.
"Dad probably wouldn't like all the guys though." Ruby quipped.
"I know I would." Yang added as she looked around at some of the guys until Jaune came into view wearing almost what Star is wearing but more conserved.
"Honestly I agree with Ruby. Too many guys here." Star commented.
Yang smirked a little raising an eyebrow "Oh... play for the same team huh?" Yang teased grinning at her.
Star rolled her eyes "Sorry not my type." Star said immediately shutting Yang down, but she did also take notice of Ruby writing.
"What's that?" Yang asked.
"A letter to my friends back at Signal." Ruby answered.
"Aw thats so cute." Yang cooed only to receive a pillow to the face from Ruby.
"Hey I don't get to bring my friends you know." Ruby replied.
Star tried to tune out the conversation until her senses picked up on a scent.
"What is that smell?" She thought as she got up and followed the smell. Ruby and Yang got curious at what she was doing and followed her.
The scent she smelled was getting stronger going to another part of the ballroom. She stopped suddenly making Yang stop as Ruby bumped into her.
"It's coming from here but where?" She thought looking around.
"Can I help you with something?" A female voice said.
Star turned her head and noticed a girl staring at them reading a book with a candle next to her.
The girl is seventeen with long wavy black hair tied with a bow on top. She is fair skinned with amber colored eyes with purple eye shadow. She is currently wearing her night gear which consists of a black long sleeved, yukata style shirt with white edgings over a purple undershirt with matching skirt. A black obi is wrapped around her waist and tied with a black and white string.
"Whoops sorry I was just looking around before we hit the sack. Didn't mean to bother you." Star said.
"It's okay you weren't bothering me actually." The girl said calmly.
The group of four stayed quiet as none said a word at first until Yang tried to break the ice.
"So... that's a really nice bow you got. Where'd you get it?" Yang asked.
"I bought it sometime ago. Can't remember where though." The girl said.
"Oh sure um... I forgot I didn't catch your name." Yang asked.
"You never asked." The girl said refocusing on her book.
"Names Yang. The girl there is Star." Yang started as Star waved a hello at her.
"And this is my kid sister Ruby." Yang said taking her arm and wrapping it around Ruby's shoulder loosely smiling at the girl.
"Blake. Now if you don't mind I'd like to finish this book before going to bed." Blake said.
"Um... sure we'll leave you to that." Yang said as both she and Ruby left but Star didn't leave right away looking at Blake with an odd look.
Blake glanced away from her book for a minute to see that Star hasn't left yet.
"Shouldn't you go with them?" She said to Star.
Star looked at her for a moment before turning her attention toward Blake's bow as she saw it slightly twitch.
"So... your one too huh." Star said as Blake's grip on her book slightly tightened.
"One of what?" Blake asked but probably already knowing the answer.
"A fa..." Before Star could finish Blake leapt from her spot and placed her hand over Star's mouth.
"Don't say another word." She growled as she removed her hand from Star's mouth.
"Sorry." Star apologized.
"I just notice things that's all." She added.
Blake turned away to only groan before turning back to face Star her arms crossed.
"I'm guess you know because you one also... aren't you." Blake asked.
Star nodded in response "Yeah but unlike most I actually have two traits. Ears and a tail of an arctic fox." Star whispered.
"That's pretty rare for one of us to have more than one trait." Blake commented.
"Yeah some faunus considers it an abnormality to have two traits instead of just the one. It's not easy having them either." Star commented.
Blake's glanced when she noticed Star adjusting her shorts as if she's uncomfortable "If I were in your shoes then I would agree." Blake's commented returning her gaze to Star just as she lets out a soft yawn.
"Yeah I guess we better hit the sack. Initiation starts tomorrow for us. Good luck Blake." She said walking back towards where Ruby and Yang were.
"You as well." Blake as she placed a marker in her book and blew out the candle that she was using as they both went to sleep.
=RWBY=
Morning came and students were getting everything ready for the initiation today. Star made sure to wake up extra early so she could change and look over Kitsune. She was currently sharpening the grappling hook blade of her weapon.
"Ninety eight, ninety nine, and one hundred." She counted as she put away her sharpening stone then examining the blade.
"Yep looking sharp as ever." She said collapsing her weapon.
"Morning Star." Ruby smiled approaching Star.
"Oh morning Ru... what is that?" She questioned pointed toward what Ruby is holding.
Ruby's weapon is a long scythe type weapon with a long black pole reaching from her foot to a foot above her head. In the middle of the pole is a clip with dust ammunition with a trigger just below the clip. It also has a scope on top of it which means it can be used for long range combat as well. At the end of the pole is a sharp arrowhead and finally at the other end a large crescent blade with white, black, and red accents surrounding it along with a barrel that is embedded into it.
"Oh this is my baby Crescent Rose." Ruby smile hugging her weapon close.
"Okay that's rather large. You sure you..." Before she could finish Ruby collapsed her weapon down into a smaller rectangular shape in which she placed it behind her cloak.
"I stand corrected." Star said immediately.
"Yeah I surprise a lot of people about that." Ruby added.
Star then collapsed her weapon and placed it on her back. "So what do you think this'll whole initiation thing is about?" Star questioned.
"Maybe we might be getting teams." Yang chimed in.
"I hope not." Ruby said regrettably.
"If we do I don't want teammates that'll be mean or stuff like that." Ruby added.
"Well there are a lot of potential teammates." Yang said examining the room of students before spotting one.
"How about her?" Yang said pointing toward a girl.
"Huh?" Ruby questioned looking at where she pointed as Star looked as well.
The girl is seventeen with shoulder length black hair that is tied into a small ponytail with a navy blue streak on the side. She has pale white skin with pale blue eyes. She wears a black double breasted jacket with blue lining, silver cuffs and buttons that is left unbuttoned. Underneath is a purple strapless dress top along with dark blue form fitting jeans.
On the sleeves of the jacket are lined with red dust that sparkle in the sunlight and the same can be said for the jeans. She also wears dark brown hiking boots with black lacing. Also on her jacket is a strap the crosses around her chest to her back that leads to a sheath for some sort of weapon.
Her weapon is that of a combination of both a gun and a sword. It has a black handle grip of the gun that leads up to the dust chambers which consists of eight slots for eight shots of dust. The barrel reaches out about six inches away from the chamber which then underneath the barrel is a long blade that extends two feet in front of her.
"Whoa is that a gunblade?! That is so awesome." Ruby squealed but Yang immediately grabbed hold of her cloak.
"Oh no you don't sis." Yang said.
"I probably wouldn't have her as a teammate. Look at her jacket and jeans." Star pointed out.
"Yeah. What about them?" Yang asked.
"Besides looking like they're made of fine material their also infused with dust. Probably a bit of fire dust to keep her warm though probably uncomfortable sometimes. That is most commonly found in Atlas. Plus given her weapons a custom job she's likely born into some money." Star added as the girl gave her weapon a twirl before sheathing it behind her.
"Okay... maybe not a good choice. I guess..." Yang said a little disappointed.
Just as the girl turned to leave another one quickly joined her.
The other girl is seventeen but a little taller than her with shoulder length silver hair with a white segment going down the front of her face with bright orange eyes. She wears a grey sleeveless crop top with rectangular and diamond shape cut outs across the neckline that shows off the stomach.
She also wears black skinny jeans with a white belt that hangs off her right hip with a two pouches on her left side. She wears black fingerless gloves and shoes. Around her neck is a silver scarf lined with blue trimming. Also at sides of her hips are her weapons which are a pair of white gauntlets with gold trimmings that are spiked at the end with a dust sphere in the middle.
"And what about her do you think?" Ruby asked.
"If I had to guess...probably a bodyguard of some kind." Star guessed.
Meanwhile with the two girls who are actually Weiss and Pepper, Weiss was still nervous even after having done such a big change.
"You okay?" Pepper asked.
"Honestly no." Weiss admitted
"What if he figures out I'm here and comes here himself to get me and bring me back to... that life again?" Weiss asked nervously.
Pepper softly smiled "Hey we'll be okay. Everything is going to be fine. Just got to have a little faith." Pepper said softly.
"Yeah and a lot of luck." Weiss added.
"Yeah that too I guess." Pepper laughed a little which made Weiss laugh as well.
"Now that's what I want to see." Pepper smiled.
"Yeah but you sure you're going to be okay especially with... you know." Weiss said gesturing to Pepper's jeans having to hide her tail.
"I'll be okay." Pepper said.
"I guess it's something I'll have to get used to." She added.
Meanwhile with Jaune who is currently trying to find where he'd put his things at last night.
"Oh man now I know I'd put them somewhere but where?" He said looking at some kind of layout of the place that is until he accidently ran into some causing both of them to fall.
"Ow... okay that hurt." He groaned staring up at the lights until someone blocked them.
"Excuse me are you okay?" A mature voice said. He got up and brushed himself off before looking at who he'd bumped into.
The girl is seventeen and most certainly tall standing at exactly 6'0 despite only being seventeen. She also has red hair that is kept in a waist length ponytail. She has bright green eyes with light green eyeshadow above them. She has a athletic build to her. She wears a brown over bust corset with a vertical strip of lighter brown in the center along with elastic, black, A-line mini skirt and brown opera-length gloves on both arms.
As for accessories, there was a small circular bronze plate on her right hip opposite two pouches with both connected to a belt. The plate bore her "shield and spear" emblem. Underneath her hair, she always wore a brown circlet adorned with a pair of small, green, teardrop-shaped emeralds on thin chains. She also sported a large bronze gorget around her neck and a bronze bracelet on the upper half of her left arm.
The girl also wears armor with elaborate bronze greaves that started below her mid-thigh before continuing downwards into her boots as well as a pair of cuisses that began mid-thigh and ended slightly above her knees. She is also equipped with a bronze bracer that seems to connect with her weapons atop the sleeve of her left arm. She finally wears high heeled brown boots with bronze trim along with matching skirt and leg sleeves that reach mid-thigh.
On her back is a bronze shield with mid circles on each end and a red a yellow sword type weapon.
"Um... sorry about that. I didn't mean to bump into you." Jaune said.
"Oh it wasn't me that you bumped into." She said pointing to the girl on the ground.
The second girl is also seventeen years old and about 5'5 with a slender yet athletic frame. She has bright pink eyes with gold eyeshadow over her right eye along with shoulder length hair tied into a small ponytail. Her attire consists of a white tank top that shows off the girls toned stomach with a belt-buckle around the hemline under a pale pink jacket with white coloring on the inside part of the sleeves, pale purple lining, and big cuffs. She also has a skirt with reverting color with white on the hips of the skirt and pale purple on the inside.
Around her neck is a black belt choker that matches that belt around her skirt. She has black above the knee socks/stockings with a single gold circle around the top along and white boots with light pink, dark brown, and hints of gold on them. On her belt are holsters that have her weapons in them.
The girl immediately got to her feet and she was fuming "Hey! Why don't you watch where you're going!?" She hollered obviously angry.
"Yikes! Sorry I really didn't mean to bump into you I was just looking for my stuff and well..." Jaune said quickly.
"Well if you put that map down once in a while it would help." The girl remarked.
"Iona it was a simple mistake that's all that matters." The taller girl said.
Almost immediately Iona's anger disappeared "Okay sis." She said cheerfully which made the other groan slightly.
Jaune looked at the two for a moment "You two siblings or something?" He asked.
"No we aren't. Not by blood or anything but she insists on calling me her big sister." The taller girl said.
"I'm not hearing a no." Iona sang which only got her to chuckle a little.
"At least you don't have to deal with seven sisters." He said regrettably.
"Seven? That must be rough." The taller women said.
"Yeah. Three of them are by blood the other four were adopted two of which are faunus." He said.
Iona carefully looked at him for a minute "Wait a minute. You wouldn't happen to come from Argos would you?" Iona asked.
"Um... yes. Why?" He asked.
Iona suddenly went wide eyed "Hold on. Is your last name Arc." She asked.
"Yeah. Names Jaune Arc." He introduced.
"Iona Basil and this is Pyrrha Nikos." She introduced.
"Pleasure to meet you Jaune." Pyrrha said politely.
"Yeah but how'd could you tell where I'm from?" He asked.
"Iona has a habit of learning of where everybody came from just by looking at them." Pyrrha said.
"Right." Jaune before remembering what he was supposed to be doing.
"Oh right I still need to find my things. I guess I'll see you later." Jaune said as he rushed past them finally remembered where he'd put his stuff.
"See you later Jaune." Iona said but Pyrrha didn't take her eyes off him for a minute in which Iona grinned.
"Alright c'mon you can tell me." Iona said nudging Pyrrha.
"Tell you what?" Pyrrha asked. Iona only crossed her arms under her bust.
"You like him don't you." She smiled which made Pyrrha blush a little.
"N-No why would I like him? I've only just met him!" Pyrrha said.
"And you are just a normal girl with this thing called feelings. You should try it sometime." Iona said until a voice came over the intercom.
"May all first years please report to the Beacon Cliffside. Repeat all first years to the Cliffside." Glynda voice rang out.
"Well we better get going." Iona said as all the first years exited the ballroom.
=RWBY=
Once all the students were at the cliffside they were each placed on metal launch pads.
"What you see behind me is the entrance to the Emerald Forest. This will be the site of your initiation. You each will be graded accordingly based upon your performance by our instructors off site. You will also be monitored however we are not allowed to intervene in anyway." Ozpin began.
"Great good to know that we might die and they get to watch it." Star groaned internally.
"Furthermore once you enter the forest your first objective is to find a partner. Since there are different methods of obtaining said partner we've decided to... mix things a little." Ozpin added.
"The first person you lay eyes upon landing will be your partner for your four years here at Beacon." Ozpin said.
Mentally Ruby's mind seemed to have shattered once she heard this "What!?" Ruby protested but Ozpin paid no mind.
"Be warned. This forest in inhabited by grimm so do not be afraid to cut down anything in your path. Once you've got your partner you both are to head to the edge of the forest, their you will find a temple with relics amongst them. You are to return the relic here and then wait for further instructions. Are there any questions?" He said.
"Um... actually sir..." Jaune wanted to protest but was ignored.
"Good. Now take your positions." Ozpin ordered as everybody prepared themselves.
"Excuse me sir but how are we getting into the forest?" Jaune asked as Weiss was launched into the air.
"You be using your own landing strategy." Opzin simply said as another girl was launched followed by a guy.
"So... like you'll be dropping us off or..." Jaune continued but Ozpin stopped him as Blake was launched into the air followed by Pepper then Pyrrha.
"No you will be falling. If you don't land then you will die." Ozpin said as Yang gave a quick glance to Ruby before being launched followed by Ruby.
"Okay but what is a landing..." Before he could finish he was launched into the air.
"STRATEGY!" He hollered as he was throwing into the air.
"Poor guy." Star thought as she was next to last to be launched into the air sending her directly into the forest as Opzin took a sip of his coffee.
F3: And cut! The initiation begins. Wonder who will be teamed up with whom. Well you'll just have to keep on reading. I know I said this already but please let me know how you guys like this story and how it is going. Leave a review and I do accept some criticism, but trolls and flamers are a different story. For those of you fans of Weiss yes I did change her design and weapon choice which will be explained in a later chapter but I was going for more of a Black Ice kind of feel for her this time around. Don't worry she's not the only one who's getting a character check. With that said this has been Fireuser3 and I'm out.
