2. Chapter 2

CHAPTER TWO: ARRIVAL AND APPROVAL

Jaune was at awe when he was walking around the streets of a city named Vale, which was a good flight away from where he wanted to go.

Had decided to NOT go to his eldest sister before coming here.

He did asked around for directions, either receiving both negative and positive remarks. People even gave him some rather strange glances at him.

Due to him walking with a large white feather over his left shoulder.

The male sighed as yet again, another person ignored him.

'I forgot how humans and Faunus can be after my traveling with Father when I was younger.' He thought to himself.

"You seem to be in trouble, feather weight." A female said behind him. He could tell that she was looking at the large white feather on his back.

Jaune looked and saw said female and he must admit that she is very beautiful.

She is a fair-skinned young woman around seventeen with lilac iris, black rounded pupils, and bright golden hair worn loose that fades to pale gold at the tips that leads down to her thighs with a cowlick sticking out at the top. She wears a tan jacket that bares her midriff, with golden brown piping and short, puffy sleeves with black cuffs that feature two gold buttons. Underneath this, she wears a low cut yellow crop top with a black ember symbol on the left breast and shows a bit of her E-cup bust.

And he was right as she was looking at the large white feather.

"So..." She looked at the feather. "I can guess that you somehow fought a Nevermore." She tried to make a small talk. 'Never saw one that had white feather though.' She thought to herself.

Jaune simply chuckled. "You can say that." He held out his hand. "Jaune Arc."

"Yang Xiao Long." She held her hand and shook it. "So what brings you to Vale?" She asked.

"I just came from way out of town and wanted to attend Beacon Academy." He shrugged.

"Really?" The blonde blinked in surprise at that. "Beacon, huh" She muttered. "I know where it is. But I think you're a little late to sign up… the initiation ceremony starts, like, the day after tomorrow."

"Σκατά (Shit)." He cursed, earning a confused look from the blonde. "Sorry about that." He rubbed the back of his head. "I tend to curse in my native tongue."

"Oh." Yang nodded in understanding. "My sister and I get like that sometimes, especially me." She muttered the last part.

Jaune could only chuckle at that. "My sisters and I too." He sighed. "So when is enrollment?"

"Tomorrow actually." The blonde replied with a smile and wondered how many sisters he has. "If you want to sign up then you need to send your transcripts there, along with a reference from your previous combat school. The headmaster then decides whether he wants to accept your or not and sends a letter back by post."

Jaune nodded at that. "I already have a letter of recommendation. I'll send that in a while." He gave the female an unintentionally charming smile. "Thank you, Όμορφο δράκο (Beautiful Dragon)."

"Uhm, what?" Yang blinked.

"Oh sorry. 'Όμορφο δράκο' means 'Beautiful Dragon'." He said.

Yang blushed at that, never being compliment due to her name. "Thanks, Feather Weight." She pulled her hair over her shoulder and ran her fingers through it.

"My father and mothers always told me to compliment someone when you mean it."

"Oh?" Yang grinned. "Well." She pulled out her scroll." Since we'll be going to Beacon and will be in our first years, mind if I get your contact?" She asked.

The male thought of this for a few seconds and shrugged as he pulled out his scroll. "I don't mind." He smiled and he handed Yang his scroll.

"Thanks." The blonde female smiled as she took it and began to add her contact. 'He is really interesting.' She thought to herself. 'Not once did he even try to look into my cleavage. Either he's got some damn good control or he's gay.' She hoped it wasn't the latter. She then held out Jaune's own. "This is a pretty neat scroll you got there, Feather Weight." She smiled.

"It's the latest one." He chuckled. "One of our godfathers has some deep connections with a few big shots." He shrugged.

"So this is latest model." Yang whistled as she inspected it. "Wish I can get my sis myself one."

"No problem." Jaune smiled as he as he was about to take his scroll… "If you want I can contact…"

Yeet!

Just then a little boy around seven or eight nabbed it and ran off.

"What the hell?!" Yang shouted in shock and anger as the retreading boy ran off, dodging the other humans and Faunus as he made his way through the crowed. "That little runt has your scroll!" Her iris burned red. "I'll get it back for you." She offered and ran off after the boy, Jaune right behind her.

"I just got that scroll too." The feather wielding male muttered.

"This is awesome!" The male giggled as he avoided the pedestrians. "No way those two can catch me." He has black hair with German Shepard ears sticking out, brown irises with black vertical oval pupils, and tanned skin. He wears a black shirt with blue short pants and blue sneakers.

"Get back here, you runt!" Yang shouted as she was behind the Faunus.

The boy looked back and his eyes widened at the sight of the blonde, now with red irises, female running after him. "Oh Oum!" He shouted in fear.

Jaune frowned at the small Faunus.

Yang managed to reach the kid and grabbed his shirt and pulled up.

The boy choked at the sudden halt. He growled bit and swiped his left hand out, his nails slightly extended as he attempted to claw the girl's face. "Let go!" He shouted. But before he can hit his intended target, a hand grabbed his wrist by Jaune who then held it firm.

"That's not nice, boy." Jaune said in a low tone, his eyes narrowed at the boy. "Now give me back my scroll and I won't report you to the authorities." He threatened as his iris gained a slight gold haze over them causing the boy to lose his bravado and whimper in submission as he pulled out the scroll.

"Here you go, sir." He muttered as he kept his head down, his animal instinct telling him that he was in the present of an Alpha.

Jaune's iris regained the blue color and he nodded to Yang to let him go and gently released the Faunus' hand. "Now then." He kneeled to and looked to boy's eyes. "Why did you try steal my scroll?" He simply asked.

"I…wanted to sell it off and get money for my sister and I." He mumbled.

The young male looked him over to see if he was lying or not. Yang simply stayed quiet and had her arms crossed over her chest.

"I see." Jaune nodded as he reached into his robe and pulled out a few bills of lien. He took the boy's hand and gently paced them in his hands. "Go find a place for you and your sibling. Make sure that it's a good place for you that accepts Faunus, okay?" He smiled as the boy looked at him with wide eyes, tears slowly brimming at the corners of the ocular organs.

"Jaune why did you…" Yang, whose red iris faded back to lilac, began, but the Faunus leaped and hugged the older male, sniffing and muttering thank you over and over again.

Jaune had small smile as he patted the boy's head. "Just make sure that you don't get in trouble. Not many people are as nice as I am."

The boy nodded, rubbing his face against the older male's chest, and took a step back. He gave a small bow before he ran off, mentally promising to do better for his sister and himself.

Yang looked at the male, impressed at how he handled the situation. "You've got a heart of gold, Feather Weight." She smiled fondly at him.

Jaune stood up and smiled at the blonde female. "Yeah." He nodded. "I have four younger sisters." He chuckled. "The youngest one is around his age." He nodded at the direction where the boy went. "I also…remembered meeting someone when I was younger and it was my turn to travel with Father. She stole a very important item from me and he was livid."

"What happened?" She asked.

"He wanted to turn her into a bloody smear since he himself was in a rather foul mood." He answered with a shrug, getting a wide eyed look from the female. "But I managed to calm him." He then tapped his chin. "Now that I think about it, Father allowed it to be stolen." He muttered then sighed. "In any case, she traveled with us for a few months, my father deciding to unlock her aura, teach her some ways of survival until she discovered her semblance, and we then separated since she wanted to try things on her own. She did however promise to meet me in the future." He shrugged. "When, I don't know."

"Woah…" Yang blinked.

"Thank you for your help." The robed male said a in appreciation with a smile.

"N-No problem!" Yang mentally cursed at the stuttering. "You know." She took a bold step forward. "I wouldn't mind helping you out with some other thi~ngs." She sang as she leaned a bit and folded her arms below her bust, making them a bit more pronounced as they are.

Jaune caught this in his spherical view, but kept his iris on her lilac iris set and then smiled at the young woman. "I'll make sure keep that in mind if someone else wants to take my scroll. I have myself a Beautiful Dragon to aid me."

Once again, Yang blushed, mentally hoping that it doesn't happen too often. 'If Ruby was here to see this, she wouldn't let this go.' She thought to herself. "You gotta stop that…" She mumbled.

"I'm sure many guys would be in line hoping to be with you. "Jaune shook his head. "You have no need to feel ashamed."

'Many guys would want me in their bed and brag about it.' She thought.

Jaune looked at the time. "As much I don't want to, I need to look for a place to sleep." He looked to the female. "Until we meet again in Beacon, Yang Xiao Long."

"Same here, Jaune Arc." Yang held her hand out and Jaune took it and kiss her knuckles.

"Take care." He waved as he walked away, his robe fluttering in the breeze that picked up.

"I'll be seeing you, Feather Weight." She said. Her scroll then rang and she answered it. "Yellow?"

"Ya~ng!" A young female's voice cheered at the other side of the connection.

"Hey, Rubes." Yang smiled. "You won't believe what just happened."

RDP

It was now night and Jaune had still not found a place to sleep. His hood was up and was walking around with the Nevermore's feather over his shoulder. 'Yang was rather nice, although a bit flirty.' He chuckled at that. 'The direction she put in my scroll that leads to Beacon is much appreciated. Maybe I can contact her.' He nodded to himself and took out a scroll.

Crash!

And looked away from it as he sees someone flew out of the window from a store named 'From Dusk Till Dawn' 'Oh?' He slipped his scroll back into his robe as he raised an eyebrow as a second person flew out and her feet dragged over the tar floor.

She is a girl about fifteen. She wears a black long sleeved shirt over her B-cup bust with red hood over her head and a cape flowing down to her shins. She also wears a red thigh length skirt with black shin length pants. Under her hood, she wears a black shirt had red highlights with black-brown buttons sewn on it. She then pulled out what seems to be a compact weapon and it unfolded to reveal a scythe.

The staff was at least six feet in length as the blade being two feet in length, with the tip impaled in the concrete, was grey a black out line at the edge. It has two jagged prongs at the opposite of the blade.

"What an impressive weapon." He muttered as three people walked out the store.

Two of them were dressed identical. Red shades and neat trimmed beard and hair. White shirt under a black blazer with a red tie and black pants with black shoes.

The other man stood behind them a slight bit.

He has slanted eyes, dark-green iris and bright, long, orange hair, with long bangs covering his right eye. He wears a black bowler hat with a red band and a small feather. He also wears a red-collared white suit and a small gray scarf around his neck. He has black gloves with rounded sleeves, as well as long black pants and black shoes. In his right hand he held a cane dark grey cane with a red hook and red stud at the bottom.

"What are you two waiting for, an invitation?" He asked. "Get the brat!" He pointed at the girl and the two rushed at her.

Jaune looked at the young girl took care of the two older men, knocking them aside with the blunt side of her weapon with the sound of gun being shot. That made him instantly realized that that she was using a transformation weapon of close-mid-long range capacity. He hummed as he eyed the feather and swung it, knocking one of the goons, that was subsequently sent his way to the building behind him without a care. 'She is very talented.' He praised as the girl swung her scythe around with practice despite it's size and slammed the blade into the concrete ground. 'And strong.'

"Is that all you got!" She challenged.

The man simply pulled out cigar and lit it. "Okay." The hat wearing man deadpanned as he held his cane up, the bottom piece flipping open to show a cross-hairs aimed at the young girl. He took a puff of his cigar and fired a mortar at the girl.

The girl leaped back, but did not hear the second shot as the explosion hit. She then saw the mortar coming towards her and closed her eyes.

Boom!

"That did it." The man muttered through his cig and nodded to himself. "If she's dead then her aura wasn't strong enough." He shrugged.

"You okay?" The girl heard a male's voice and she opened her eyes after realizing that she was not hurt. She looked to see male with purple tipped blonde hair and blue irises wearing a black robe over his form with form with the hood down. Her eyes widened at the fact as the smoke cleared up that she can she can see the large white Nevermore's feather was used as a shield against the mortar.

And not a scorch on it.

The first thing Jaune noted when he blocked the mortar and inspected the girl as she looked at him was her bright silver iris.

'Oh.' He blinked at that. 'Like those warriors of old mother Sabbath told me.'

"I-I'm fine." She replied as she looked into his blue irises. "Thank for the blocking that."

"No problem." He nodded as he stood up and waved the feather, blowing the smoke away to reveal the man standing there in surprise. "Would you need more help?" He asked.

"Uhm…sure." The silver eyed female said as she stood up, her weapon transforming into a long range sniper rifle.

"What the fuck?" The man commented as he saw the large feather that blocked his mortar. "Never saw a white Nevermore's feather before." He tilted his hat with his hidden weapon. "Must have painted it or something." He added as a few more goons stepped out of the store. "You get the Dust?" He asked and one of the men raised a grey case. "Good." He nodded. "Let's make haste." He then aimed his weapon at the two teens and shot four mortars at them. As the first one made contact and exploded, he and the goons made their way to escape.

Jaune was getting rather annoyed of these explosives as he blocked them.

"He's gone!" The younger female bemoaned as she noted that it was just the two of them.

A sight caught Jaune's attention and he turned, seeing the well dressed man climbing up a ladder shoot to the roof with the goons ahead of him. "That way!" He pointed at them.

"I got 'em!" The girl said as she lowered stance and aimed her rifle to the ground. She pulled the trigger and used the recoil to launch herself to the roof.

"Okay." He chuckled as he ran and quickly climbed the ladder…

Ten bars at a time.

The man stopped when the red hooded girl landed before him with her scythe out and turned in time for the robed male to climb up the stairs. "Persistent bunch, aren't ya?" He raised his hidden eyebrow and took a puff of his cig.

"Well when you're stealing Dust from that nice old man." The silver eyed girl shrugged.

The man shrugged too, seeing that she may have made a point of sorts. "Well as much as I'd like to stay with you and mister feather there..."

The sound of a turbine engine was heard before a grey bullhead raised above them from behind where the case carrying men were. The bullhead lowered, the hatch opening.

"I have to go." He grinned as rushed towards the younger female, avoiding a swipe from the feather that could have cut him in half. "Up!" He avoided the swing from the female's weapon and turned, pressing his own against her back and letting a point blank mortar blown against her.

Jaune leaped up and catch the girl, holding her in a princess carry and landing with his hood over his head while glaring at the older male as he leaped into the bullhead.

The silver eyed girl groaned as she felt the heat on her back cooled. "Way to close." She muttered.

"You okay?" Jaune asked he kept his eyes on the smug man standing by the open latch.

"I'll live." She muttered as she was put the stand. "My aura took most of the hit."

'Aura?' He wondered he then sensed something coming towards them and looked up as woman landed between them and the bullhead a light glowing purple outline around her fading away.

The woman appears to be in her early thirties and has very light-blonde hair tied back in a bun with a curl hanging down the right side of her face. Her iris are bright green and she wears thin ovular glasses. She has teal hanging earrings with a small bead identical to her earrings on her collar. She wears a white long-sleeved suit that exposes part of her E-cup chest through a teardrop window, and puffy sleeves that tighten near the wrist before spreading back out near her hands. Her lower body has a black business skirt with buttons running in a vertical line up the front of it and lighter black-brown stockings. She wears black boots with brown heels, and wears a tattered cape that is purple inside and black on the outside, decorated by a row of diamond-shaped brown beads going horizontally across her cape. Above this line of beads appears an emblem of a tiara.

"Tch!" The redhead male grunted as he reached into one of the cases, pulled out a red dimly glowing rock, and tossed it. Before it even hit the ground, he shot it, causing it to explode and cover them from his view. "That should do." He nodded in satisfaction. "Hm?"

The smoke faded away to show the woman holding a riding crop in her right hand with a light purple glowing rotating circle with symbols in it until it flickered out. The woman fixed her glasses with her unoccupied hand and swung her riding crop, sending flexible tendrils of light purple energy that slammed against the bullhead and making it shake in mid-air.

The bowl hat wearing man struggled to maintain his balance as he made his way to the cockpit. "We got a huntress!" He declared. "I'll take over! Stall her!"

The person, wearing a red dress, swapped placed with the man and makes her way to the open side. She was only recognizable by her red dress and glowing ember irises.

"I'm afraid we can't stay too long." She said as she raised her hand a ball of fire erupted over her palm before she sends it flying at the two, but the hooded Jaune leaped in front of them and blocked the fire.

The blonde woman then raised her riding crop and swung it, sending small chunks of the roof towards the bullhead and making it shake.

"What's taking so long?!" The ember eyed woman asked in annoyance.

"You tried getting this thing steady and not throw your ass out!" He countered as he tried to maintain balance. "Damn door's stuck too!"

The woman's eyes narrowed before she began to throw a volley of fireballs at the three, the silver eyed female rolling away and giving counter fire, Jaune blocking them and making sure that they don't pass him to hit innocence bellow, and the woman was flipping away from them.

"Hn!" She grunted as she raised riding crop, causing many of torn parts of the roof to float with a light purple aura around them. Focusing and moving her hands, she formed the debris into a rotating spear before launching it at the other woman. She also noted that several white large 'needles flew over her head and slammed against the bullhead. She glanced back and noted that the giant feather the hooded teen was using were missing a bit of its barbs. 'He must have a lot of strength and aura use to release the barbs of that feather.' She theorized as she heard her 'spear' was broken by a powerful blast of fire. The blonde woman then took control of the shards once again and had the debris separated in three segmented parts and peppered the bullhead with them.

The red dressed woman held her hands together, her aura glowing. She then spreads her arms open, sending a dome of extreme heat.

That caused a momentarily blinding flash. The three on the roof shook their heads only to see the bullhead at a good distance away.

The woman then sat beside the man and narrowed her eyes. 'Something about the robed boy.' She hummed. 'Something inside me telling me not to face him.'

She needed to look deep into this. Glancing the man besides her, she began to hatch her plan "Roman. I need a favor."

"They got away." The silver eyed female groaned as the hooded male stepped up to them, most of the barbs missing from the white Nevermore's feather.

The woman gave the two a look that said that they were in deep shit.

"Uhm…" The younger female gave a nervous giggle, clearly seeing what she was thinking. "Can we have your autograph?"

Jaune couldn't stop the snort that left him.

RDP

Jaune sighed for the umpteenth time as he was sitting inside one of the rooms that were meant for interrogation. He was rather bored and also annoyed at being here instead of sleeping all because of the criminal, the man no known as Roman Torchwick.

They also took the Feather from him to 'study'.

He mentally snorted. 'I wonder how the other girl is doing?' He thought as the front door opened and the blonde woman stepped inside.

"I do hope that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly, young man." She said as she made her way to the seat across from him. "You've put yourself and others in danger." She began.

"Well to be fair, I was in the area when someone was thrown out of the store." He said in defense.

The woman did not take being cut off by the younger blonde and slapped her riding crop on the table, not even getting the smallest flinch as a reaction.

Jaune simply kept eyes contact with the woman.

He faced far more danger than this.

"Very well." The woman fixed her glasses. "What is your name? What academy did you attend?"

"My name us Jaune Arc. I'm planning to enter Beacon." He simply answered. "I have no prior lessons to any previous academy, but I was home trained."

"Have you sent your letter of recommendation?" The woman then asked.

"Early this afternoon." He sighed. "I just hope I get in." He muttered.

"I see." The blonde woman nodded. "Have you traveled around Remnant?" She asked remembering saying that he was home trained.

"My father and I traveled a lot around Remnant and my sisters and I were trained at home. We did have some connections with the schools." He shrugged. "But if Beacon's headmaster wants to reject me, I could always attend the others. But I really want to attend Beacon." He claimed.

The woman whipped out her scroll and accessed it. "Hm.'" She hummed. "Your letter will be read through." She muttered. 'But something isn't right.' She thought to herself as she looked to the male who was sitting rather relaxed, much to her hidden annoyance. "Where did you live?"

"My family and I live in private, not even connection can reach that far due to someone's semblance being a little too much on the powerful side, hence why we travel." Jaune explained and then looked to the door as it was open and a red blur flew in.

"You're okay!" The silver eyed female cried at as she stood by him, red rose petals fluttering to the ground and trail from the door.

Before the woman could say anything to the younger female, a man came in. He is a middle-aged, maybe about his mid-to late forties with tousled silver hair and thin eyes with brown irises. He has a light complexion and sharp facial features. Interestingly, he has black eyebrows, suggesting that he may have had black hair when he was younger. He wears shaded glass spectacles and a small, purple, cross-shaped pin on the cowl around his neck. His outfit mainly consists of an unzipped black suit over a dark green, buttoned vest and green shirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants. In addition, he has a what seems to be a mecha-cane and a mug bearing the Beacon Academy emblem.

"I see you seem to have made a friend, Miss Rose." The man smiled as he stepped inside, his left hand holding a mug of coffee. He gave Jaune a once over. "Mister Arc, I presume?" He nodded.

"I am." Jaune nodded and suspected that he got his name from silver eyed girl. "And you are?"

"My name is Ozpin". The man introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Ozpin." The male teen greeted.

"He knows my uncle!" The red tipped blackette squealed, much to Jaune's amusement.

"In any case, I will be seeing you to attending Beacon Academy." The man said as he raised his mug in a 'cheers' manner. "I've provided lodging for you and Ms. Rose. Think of it as a thank you for helping the store owner."

"Just like that?" Blue eyes blinked and at the man's nod, he shrugged. "Okay." He stood up.

"I can't wait to attend Beacon!" Silver irises then focused on the robed male. "Oh!" She held out her hand. "My name is Ruby Rose. Nice to meet you."

"Jaune Arc." The blonde held the younger female's hand and kissed her knuckles. "Pleased to meet you."

"Awe." Ruby had a bashful look. 'Hopefully Yang doesn't hear about this.' She hoped.

RDP

"I wonder if we'll be in the same team." Ruby wondered as she was looking out of the window in the large bullhead that she and many others were inside. "I hope I get to see him again though."

"What are you talking about, Rubes?" Yang asked as she ruffled Ruby's hair.

"This guy that helped me out last night fighting off Torchwick." Ruby replied.

"That infamous dust thief, right?" Yang blinked.

"The one and only." Ruby sighed. "He was really nice."

"Wonder if he's as cute as the guy I met yesterday." Yang grinned.

"You did say that you met a guy yesterday." The silver eyed female hummed. "Something about a Faunus taking his scroll."

"Sure did." Yang chirped. "Didn't even take a glance of my cleavage when a lowered a bit." She pouted.

"Yeah. Show a guy your tits and he'll be all over you." Ruby deadpanned.

"I mean he was not being like those other guys back at Signal. You know?" Yang tried to explain.

Ruby didn't say anything as she remembered how some of the guys tried to get her sister through her or vice-versa.

But she can feel that Jaune's different than all those guys.

"I still can't believe that you've been admitted to Beacon!" Yang then beamed, deciding to change the subject. "My little sister is growing up so fast!" She hugged the female.

"Ya~ng." Ruby whined as she tried to get out the blonde's grasps. "Tíng xiàlái (Stop it)." She whined. "Sōngshǒu (Let go)." She groaned as she couldn't get out of her sister's hold.

Jaune sighed as he was leaning against one of the support beam in the bullhead. He looked at the sheathed sword on his lap, his father having sent a small group of Craves to deliver it to him.

It has a heavy and elaborate cross-guard and hilt. The white sheath is accented with gold, including a design of red spiked symbols with two crescent moons at the base.

He pulled the handle to reveal a polished shine of the sword's blade.

This blade, his mother wielded in her huntress days.

Mort Blanche (White Death)

'This was forged by father himself using the bones, feather, and flesh a Grand Nevermore mother killed in her early years.' He mentally hummed. 'Maybe I should get a chance to test it out when I can.'

"Jaune?" Two voices called him as one, getting his attention and looking to see the two females he met before. "Yang? Ruby?" He blinked, but then smiled at the two.

The sisters looked to each other. "That's the guy?" They said as one then looked to the robed male as they pointed at one another. "You met my sister?"

"So that's what happened." Yang hummed as she looked between her sister and Jaune.

"Yup!" Ruby chirped.

"You didn't try anything to her, did you Feather Weight?" The older sibling asked with a slight edge in her tone.

"Ya~ng." Ruby frowned at her sister.

"It's alright, Ruby." Jaune smiled. "I know an older protective sibling when I see one."

Yang grinned, remembering him saying that he himself is an older brother.

"You're a big brother too?" Ruby looked to the older male.

"I'm also a younger brother." He chuckled. "I have four younger sisters and three older sisters."

"Woah." Silver eyes blinked. "Eight children in total."

"Yep." Jaune grinned. "Siblings can be a pain, but I still love 'em all and will do my best to protect them."

"Even if it's you older sisters? Ruby asked with Yang raising a brow at her silver eyed sister.

"Especially my older sisters." He chuckled. "Sometimes being the only male sibling can act as a buffer if they were to cut lose?"

"How so?" Yang wondered.

"Being the oldest come some perks in terms of power." He thought on how to explain this. "In a way you can say that we earned some of the best, but dangerous perks from our father and mothers."

"So your dad is pretty tough, huh?" Yang grinned.

"The toughest." Jaune nodded. "He hasn't lost any fights as far as I can remember."

"May I have your attention please." Glynda's voice caught everyone attention. "Hello and welcome to Beacon." She began "My name is, Glynda Goodwitch, assistant head mistress of Beacon Academy." She introduced herself to the occupants. "You are among a privilege few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task. And now it is our turn to provide you the knowledge and the training to protect our world." She finished her speech and her hologram faded.

"Why does it feel like I heard that before?" Yang hummed, while the other two shrugged at that.

BLERGH!

Yang recoiled as someone puked in the trashcan right beside her.

The trio can see that the person has ginger hair and was female.

Jaune patted her back. "Are you feeling a bit better?" He asked.

"I'm fine." The female coughed as she pulled herself up. "Just ate too many pancakes this morning." She giggled as she looked at them. She has torques iris and is about seventeen. Her hair is spiked at the nape of her neck and two bangs framing her face to her cheeks with one middle fringe close to her right eye. Her clothing seems to be a mix of different colors and themes. She wears a white sleeveless top that forms a tiny heart between her D-cup cleavage and collarbone, with white detached sleeves on each arm. She also wears a pink skirt that starts at the waist and ends mid-thigh. Her shoes are a mix of pink and white with pink laces. She's also wearing an armor of sorts that begins in the middle of the shoulders and neck and ends by the waist. She has a light-grey bow at the back of the skirt with a ribbon extending to the skirt's bottom. On her back was a hammer symbol with a lightning bolt running through it.

"Here you go." Jaune reached into his robe and pulled out a small capsule filled with purple pills. "This should help. My mother brewed these just in case I get any upset stomach or suffer from motion sickness."

"Oh. Thank you!" She cheered gleefully as she took the capsule. "You're a very nice person! What's your name? I'm Nora! Nora Valkyrie!" She introduced herself as she held her hand up for a shake.

Jaune chuckled as she took her hand kissed her knuckles. "Jaune Arc. Pleased to meet you, Ms Valkyrie."

"Oh none of that now!" Nora laughed as the robed youth released her hand. "You helped me, so that make you good in my book!" She grinned. "I'll need to right a book first though." She hummed.

"Nora!" A female cried out.

"Nina~!" Nora called back.

Nina wears green dress with short sleeves that has three ocean blue diamonds on the chest along with a red ribbon tied on the lower back. Her eyes are golden brown and narrowed. Her hair is dark violet with blue hints that are set in a two spikes short ponytails with two thin braids hanging from her neck down pass her hidden A-cup bust. She also wears black pants with bell bottoms and black Chinese shoes under it.

"Hi Nina!" Nora smiled.

"How many times do I have to tell you to stay close to me?" She sighed.

"A lot." Nora tapped her chin. "I lost count in the thousands." She giggled as she opened the cap and popped two pills in her mouth and swallowed them. "Blech!" She made a face.

"Yeah." Jaune chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head. "The pills do have a horrible taste, but the results are worth it."

"You can't just accept things from strangers, Nora." Nina sighed and looked to the trio.

"He's only one person. And his name is Jaune Arc. That makes him not a stranger." Nora smiled. "Hey! My stomach feels so~ much better!" She cheered and hugged Jaune very tightly.

"No problem." Jaune chuckled as he patted the ginger's head, not even bothered by the hug at all. "Glad you're feeling better."

Nina sighed again. "My name is Nina Wang." She greeted with a bow. "I apologize for my friend's behavior."

"No prob." Yang waved her hand. "I'm Yang Xiao Long. Nice to meet you."

"Ruby Rose. Hi!"

"Jaune Arc." He nodded in greeting.

Nora was still hugging him.

"So you're first years like us?" Nina nodded.

"Yup." Ruby smiled.

"I would like to have my body back please." He smiled.

"Oh! Sorry." Nora laughed as she released her hold on the male. "You're pretty strong."

"Not really." He shrugged.

"You tanked a hug from Nora, who is a very physically strong young woman." Nina explained as the bullhead's pilot announced that they were about to land and for them to find their seats. "I think we should do what the pilot said." She said and the others nodded.

The now bigger group was walking towards the Academy via the long walkway.

"So you decided to leave earlier and in the middle of the night?" Nora hummed as she walked besides the sword carrying male.

"I basically snuck out my own room." The robbed male chuckled. "While my sisters and mothers were asleep, I had to sneak pass the guards and our pets." He sighed. "I practically bumped into Barry and had to bribe him to get him bananas that he liked so much in order not to alert my own mother."

"How many mothers do you have?" Yang asked as she now wanted to know about the blonde male concerning his family.

He smiled. "My father is married to three women, one of them is of course is my mother."

"So your father is a playboy?" Nina asked with a frown.

Jaune stopped and looked at Nina in the eyes, a small frown marring his face. "The women loved him and he wanted to spend his life with of them alone. But he finally caved as the three them said that he'll need to marry them unless he wants to be hunted down by them. He's been through a lot before he met them. He lost a lot, and blames himself for it. He didn't even think he was even worthy of finding happiness. But they proved him wrong."

"That is no excuse for him to have such a relationship." Nina said. "A relationship is to be between two people."

"Nina, stop." Nora told her friend.

But she ignored the Valkyrie. "And if you're anything like that, I will appreciate that you keep away from Nora and I." She continued.

Jaune shook his head. "I don't have time for judgmental assholes." He grunted as he turned and walked a bit faster.

"Jaune, wait." Nora looked at Nina with a disapproving frown before she caught up to Jaune.

Nina ignored the looks the sisters gave her and pinched the bridge of her nose with a sigh. "That girl."

"I am fine, Nora." Jaune was slightly annoyed at how quick the bluenette had judge his father.

"You're not fine." Nora said with a pout. "I'm sorry if Nina said those mean things to you, but she's always been protective about me." She explained.

"I could only assume she's like this because of her upbringing?" He raised an eyebrow at that.

"Nina's father and brother weren't the best, hence why she's here in Beacon." The ginger haired girl had a small smile. "Don't worry! I'm sure you'll be the bests of friends in the future!"

"I'll keep that in mind." Jaune muttered as he rounded the corner and bumped into someone, a yelp of surprise following from the person. "Sorry." He quickly apologized, Nora looking over his shoulder as he kneeled and held his hand out.

"It's okay. I wasn't looking where I was going." The person, a female, said as she took his hand and was pulled up to stand.

Jaune got a good look at her. 'Is it me am I seeing a lot beautiful ladies lately?' He wondered.

She has olive skin, slightly slanted eyes, and yellow irises with almond shaped pupils and purple flared make-up behind them. She has black hair that cascaded down her back and with a few frilled bangs over her forehead and between her eyes and was styled in a way that hid her ears with a large black bow on her head. She wears a white corset like top over her C-cup bust with a white short sleeved belly length black jacket showing her flat toned stomach and inward bellybutton. She also wears black shorts with thigh high boots.

Jaune looked down to see an open book pages down on the ground and picked up. "You dropped this." He handed her the book. "Again I'm sorry."

"I-It's okay." She muttered as she took the book back and held it, mentally marking the page before closing it. "I was too engrossed in my reading."

"What were you reading?" Nora asked with her head tilted to the side.

"Uhm." The bow haired girl started.

BOOM!

"What was that?" Nora asked.

"It sounds like it came from where the others are." Jaune said.

"That wasn't very nice." Yang instantly rounded on the Chinese girl as the duo left.

"All I did was said what I believe." She frowned.

"Apologize to him." The silver eyed girl ordered.

"I will not." Nina narrowed her eyes.

"Go. Apologize." Ruby swung her hand to the direction that Jaune and Nora went and accidentally hit a person.

Said person was struck in the chest and bowled over a few suitcases.

Few selected of said suitcases were filled with fine dust of several colors sealed in vials and fell onto the floor.

Causing and explosion of fire, thunder, and wind.

BOOM!

The now four people were coughing and groaning in pain as they were thrown by the force of the blast.

"You...idiot." The fourth female coughed as she glared at the still coughing younger female. "Do...you..." She stood up as she tried patting off the sooth off her clothes. "Do you know how many those vials of Dust costs?!"

"Sorry!" Ruby finally reigned in her coughing fit.

"You okay, Rubes?" Yang asked as she stood up, helping her sister along with her.

Nina groaned as she too stood up, rubbing her head.

The young woman standing before them wears a white dressed shirt with silver long sleeve vest with wide rimmed cuffed that shows that inside was blood red. Long white hair that was tied at an off center to the top right ponytail her irises are cold blue with a scar over the left eye that reaches down her cheek. She wears a knee length wide ice blue skirt with white frills at the end. White ballet shoes with shin high white socks. On the back of her vest is a snowflake crest. She also wears a small tiara on her head.

Of course that image was ruined by the sooth on her clothes and face.

"Are you going to pay for this?" She asked as she kept her eyes on the shorter female.

"Hey!" Yang stepped between her sister and the whitette, her eyes burning red. "It was an accident." She growled.

"Hmph!" The white dressed female stuck her nose up. "It doesn't matter. One of you are going to pay for these broken Dust vials." She pointed to the broken vials with various colored dust. "So who's it going to be?"

"Depends when you'll stop being such a bitch." Yang kept her eyes on the whitette.

"You be careful, brute." Cold blue eyes narrowed. "I'll have you know that I'm-" She began.

"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Corporation. One of the largest companies with multiple branches over Remnant."

The four look to see Jaune, Nora, and the third person.

"Finally someone that recognizes me." The now known Weiss smiled in satisfaction as she heard that it was the male that spoke.

"A Corporation that is questioned by the labor cost and questionable business partners." The bow haired girl added with a frown on her face.

"What?" Weiss looked at the black haired female.

"Just the words I hear." She shrugged.

"How much?" Jaune stepped forward.

"Excuse me?" Weiss blinked.

"The spilled Dust and broken vials." The blonde haired male pointed out. "How much?"

Weiss had to look up to male due to him being taller than her. "Are you really willing to pay for someone else's mistake?"

Blue eyes scanned over the four sooth covered females. "I am." He nodded as he took out a check book and wrote down the amount and gave her the slip.

'Passionate as well.' The whitette thought to herself. "Very well." She nodded as she took the slip and nodded at the amount. 'It's just over the full cost.' Her eyes looked over it. She then turned to the sliver eyed female. "Beacon Academy is not for children." She said. "If you came here just to feel like a hero of sorts then you should stay home." Giving Jaune a nod, she kept walking. "Good day."

"You…didn't really have to do that." Ruby said a she was rubbing her face and dusting off her clothes.

"As a friend, I insist that I help you." Jaune smiled.

"We're…friends?" Silver eyes blinked.

"Of course." The young man smiled. "Now let's get to the auditorium."

The small group entered and saw that many of the other students have entered.

"What a crowd." Yang commented.

"Hope I get a lot autographs." The male joked.

"Are you famous?" Nora asked as the group went deeper into the building.

"Ha!" The male laughed. "I wish."

Unknown, to him, a set of green eyes were looking at him. "Jaune?" The person muttered. "I've finally found you." The person smiled.

"Well that was rather boring." Yang muttered after Ozpin did his speech and Glynda sent them along their way.

Jaune could only look around, seeing much more humans then Faunus. 'No surprise there.' He thought to himself. "How about we go chill until later tonight, huh?" He suggested.

The group has indeed explored the limited area they could. It was soon night and the group, minus Nina, had decided to sleep in the same area.

Jaune had finished set up his sleeping bag. The young man has opted to remove his robe and folded it up to put it in his carry bag. He now stood with his hakama-esque pants and sleeveless black under shirt, unintentionally catching the attention of many of female huntresses to be to the sight of his wired muscles.

"Damn you're fit." Yang, wearing a yellow top with form hugging brown shorts, whistled at the sight of the male, the shirt showing his pecs and eight pack abs.

Ruby, wearing a black sleeveless shirt with ankle length white pants that has rose designs on it, stood behind her sister, her cheeks were rather red at the purple tipped blonde's display.

Thankfully, her sister didn't turn to look at her.

"You're so ripped!" Nora, wearing a white shirt with pink shorts, gasps as she was suddenly by the male's left and squeezing his arm.

Jaune chuckled as he felt his arm was being tickled. "My eldest sisters made sure that I was as fit as possible, our parents pitching in too." He smiled. "The amount of times I had to mend my bones and muscles were too much."

"So you trained hard too, then?" Blake, wearing a black thigh length under kimono, had her book before her, but was giving some glances to his muscles. Sure some of the other guys were walking around shirtless, showing off their bod and what not, but she can appreciate a tease.

Nina, wearing a shin length green sleeping dress, simply stood away from the small group and huffed.

"Nina look at these guns!" Nora giggled.

"I see no reason to partake in this." The Chinese female muttered.

"You haven't apologized to him yet." Ruby grumbled.

"It's okay, Ruby." Jaune patted the smaller' female's head with a smile. "I'm over it like a Nevermore."

Ruby pouted, but relented.

"This is too great!" Yang laughed.

"Will you lot be silent?" Weiss asked as she stepped forward towards them, wearing an ice blue pajama set. She gave Jaune a once over before focusing on the rest of them. "A lot of us are trying to sleep."

"Well you're doing a great job at keeping us awake." Yang muttered.

"I'll have you know that-" Weiss began

"Will you look at that, I just cut you off." Yang snared.

Weiss was getting rather annoyed at the brute's disrespect. "Why you-"

"Let's not get into any fights." Jaune said as he stood between the two females. "We have initiation tomorrow and I think it's best that we all get some good sleep."

Weiss huffed and walked away.

Yang simply frowned at the retreading whitette. "I hope I don't end up in her team." She muttered.

"Don't temp Oum." Ruby shook her head.

Yang laughed. "What's the worst that can happen?"

RDP

Jaune woke up the following morning. "Time to get ready." He sighed and proceeded to do so.

"It's morning. It's morning. It's morning!" Nora cheered as Nina was brushing her teeth.

"Nora, you need to relax." She sighed after rinsing her mouth.

"But I'm so excited!" The ginger squealed. "We've made so many friends in one day, Nina! One day!"

Nina couldn't help but smile at her friend's happiness. Her smile slowly lessened as she thought of the purple tipped blonde. 'I need to make sure Nora stays away from him.'

Yang and Ruby were in the weapon's locker room, the younger checking through her weapon. "So you ready, Rubes?"

"I think so." The red tipped blackette nodded after her weapon shifted to its compact mode. "Are you?" She asked.

Yang grinned. "Of course I am." She was rather confident. "And I know you'll pass too."

"I hope so." Silver eyes locked on to lilac.

Blake just finished flipping through a page of her book, her weapon strapped to her back. It's a cleaver like sheath that about two feet in length and looks like it can cut just like the blade that's sheathed in it.

Weiss was walking through the locker room with a purpose, having seen the person she was looking for enter before she did. 'And there she is.' She thought with a confident smile.

A female about seventeen with red hair in a waist-length ponytail with a chin length bang framing her right face and a nose length bang between her vivid green eyes. She also wears light-green eye shadow around the far upper corners of her eyes. She is tall and quite muscular. Her top over her impressive E-cup bust consists of two layers. The top layer is a light-brown, strapless top split divided vertically with some bronze patterns. This may be a piece of leather or metal armor as it appears to be quite stiff, maintaining its shape without support; this layer also seems to have some kind of riveting or small, round embroidery on the sides, which may also be heavy stitching. The bottom layer is a low bronze V-neck. She wears an elastic, red, A-line miniskirt and brown cut-off sleeves on both arms. She wears a red ankle-length drapery that appears to be wrapped around her skirt. There is a small circular bronze plate by her right hip opposite a pouch with both connected to a belt. The plate bears her "shield and sword" symbol. She wears a bronze circlet headpiece that can be seen above her ear and under her bangs. A pair of small, green, teardrop-shaped emeralds hangs from her circlet on thin chains. She also sports a large bronze circlet around her neck, and a bronze bracelet on the upper half of her left arm. She also wears elaborate bronze greaves that start below her mid-thigh, continuing downwards into her boots and a pair of cuisses that begin mid-thigh and end slightly above her knees. She also dons a bronze bracer on top of the sleeve on her left arm, which appears to be able to connect and disconnect from her shield easily. Her boots are brown with bronze trim, matching her skirt and sleeves, and reach up to mid-calf.

Weiss approached the female. "Good morning, Ms. Nikos." She greeted.

The redhead turned to the whitette and gave a short bow. "Good morning." She greeted back. "How may I help you?"

"My name is Weiss; Weiss Schnee." Weiss introduced herself. "I was wondering if there was a possibility of us being partners." She requested.

"I'm not sure how the team selecting is." The taller female hummed at that.

Weiss mentally frowned, having forgotten that hunter/huntress teams consist of four members.

Her sister was after all part of a team.

"I see." She hummed a she passed her hand over her own weapon, a rapier with what looks to be a six chamber rotator in it filled with blue, red, green, yellow, white, and black dust. "I am certain that many might be looking forward to teaming up the champion of the Mistral Tournaments." Weiss smiled.

"Right." She looked down. "I'm…looking forward for this?"

'Perfect.' Weiss thought. 'Hopefully the other members of our team will not be a nuisance.' She mentally frowned. 'But with my contacts and Ms. Nikos' fame we can be the greatest of huntresses Remnant will ever know!'

"Excuse me." Jaune spoke as he was behind the two females.

"What do you want?" Weiss frowned at the male for interrupting her mental monologue.

"You're standing in front of my locker." He said as he pointed to the locker behind the Schnee heiress that was located besides Nikos'.

"Oh." Weiss was rather surprised by this and moved out of the way.

"Thank you." He nodded and unlocked the locker, retrieving his weapon.

"Good morning, Jaune." The redhead called him, gaining his attention and shocking the whitette.

He nodded back at her. "Good morning to you." He tilted his head to the side. "Uhm…do I know you?" He asked.

Weiss was wondering the same thing too as she looked between the two.

The revealed champion smiled. "I was sure that you would remember me." She sighed.

"I would be really ashamed if I had forgotten to have met such a beautiful young woman." Jaune said.

"Maybe you'd remember me if my hair was like this?" She asked as she held up her like they were twin tails. Seeing his eyes widen a bit, she smiled. "Now remember about ten years ago, you met a girl with hair like this and brown dress."

The image did come to mind and his surprised expression changed to that of joy. "Pyrrha!" He smiled as he hugged the female, the champion laughing as she returned it. "Oh. Look at you! From a cute girl to a beautiful young woman." He complimented.

Pyrrha blushed at the praise, and the fact that his hands were still on his hips. "You look rather handsome yourself."

"How do you two know each other?" Weiss couldn't hold herself back. "How do you know that four time winning Mistral Champion?"

Jaune chuckled as released his hold on the redhead and he scratched the back of his head. "My father used to travel a lot around Remnant, taking me or any of my other siblings with him. When it was my turn, we went to Mistral."

"That day we had a small Grimm infestation neat my town." Pyrrha added. "My mother and father were both at the front lines and wanted to help."

"Pyrrha here decided that she was ready to fight Grimm." Jaune shook his head. "An Ursa Major was close to crushing her, but I managed to push her out of the way before could have been hurt."

"I was unconscious for several hours." Pyrrha spoke. "When I awoke, my parents doted on me." She sighed. "He was rather happy that I was well." She looked to the male.

"Wasn't very smart for you stand in front of something that would kill anything that gives off aura without hesitation wielding a training stick." Jaune deadpanned.

His mother was rather furious at both him and his father.

No matter how powerful his father may be, he would still be fearful of an angry woman.

"So how Pumpkin Pets's?" He teased.

Pyrrha sighed. "I don't like 'em. They taste very awful."

"My younger sisters love it." Jaune tapped his chin.

"Would all first year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation?" Glynda's voice came from the speakers within the lockers. "Again, all first year students report to Beacon Cliffs immediately."

"C'mon, Jaune!" Pyrrha said as she pulled him along, a huffing Weiss following.

The students of Beacon stood at the cliff. All standing in a single line atop a grey square below their feet. Before them stood Glynda and Ozpin with his ever present cup of coco.

"For years you have trained to become warriors. And today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin explained

"Does that mean we're going to be watched?" Ruby asked with her hand raised.

"That is correct." The grey haired man nodded.

"Now I'm sure many of you have heard rumor of the assignments of teams." Glynda continued, her green eyes scanning the students before her. "Well allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be giving teammates…today.

"Huh?" Jaune raised a brow.

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon." The coco man added. "So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you could work well with."

Weiss glanced at Pyrrha. And then at Jaune. 'Maybe.' She planned…

"That being said, the first person that you make eye contact with after landing, will be your partner for the next four years."

"Hah." Jaune sighed as he looked among the students.

"Interesting." Nina hummed as she looked Nora, the Valkyrie humming to herself.

"After you've partnered up, make your way to the Northern end of the forest." The headmaster of Beacon instructed. "You will meet our position along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy the creatures in your path. Or you will die."

Jaune frowned. 'Can't be helped, I suppose.'

"You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation. But our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned ruin containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item as well as your standing and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?" Glynda looked to the group.

"How will we be arriving into the forest?" Jaune asked.

"You will perform a landing strategy." The man replied.

"Will we be dropped off via bullhead or…

Spring!

Woah!

The purple tipped blonde looked to see someone flying towards the forest. "Oh" He then nodded as he saw several other students being launched.

Nora flying with a cheer.

Yang sending a wink to her little sister and him before putting on her glasses and was sent airborne.

Ruby giving a wave before she too was launched.

Nina was also gone.

Blake nodded and she became a flying projectile as well.

Pyrrha gave a small smile before flying.

Weiss huffed before she too was launched.

"This is it." He muttered before he too joined the other students.

The young man was rather focused as he soared through the morning sky. "So I'm partnered with the first person that I make eye contact with, huh?" He muttered. "I have enough choices that I don't mind. My top thoughts are, Pyrrha, Ruby, Yang, and Nora. I don't mind being partnered with either Weiss or Blake. Nina would be the only person I would have a problem with." He admitted as he broke through the treetops and pulled out the sheathed blade, drew it and the sheath extended and unfolded to show a gold edged white shield with the double crescent insignia on it. He crashed through several branches and his feet planted on the ground before rolling to a steadied stance, shield forward and sword ready. Snorting, he stood up and looked around. "So far so good." He muttered and began to walk. 'They have the area monitored. So I have to be careful not reveal myself.'

Ruby was running through forest. 'Okay! Stuck the landing!' She looked around the rushing trees. 'Now to find my partner. I could meet Yang. She's my big sis, awesome, cool, and she's the best!' She then stopped by a tree and looked around. 'Or maybe Blake.' She hummed seeing no one. 'She mysterious, silent, and like a ninja.' She then shook her head and continued her track. 'No. What about Jaune?' She hummed as the male went through her mind. 'He's cool confident, and an all-around okay guy. Dad would like him too, I think.' She then pulled out her weapon and unfolded it, leaping up and decapitating black furred skull headed bipedal wolf with bone spikes. "And down goes the Beowolf." She sang with a pose. "Hm. Nora is pretty funny, kinda like an older ginger version of me." She smiled. "But those two." She huffs thinking about Weiss and Nina. "GoD no." She muttered. She then broke through foliage and hit a sudden brakes of her heels digging in the dirt.

Standing before her was a surprised Weiss Schnee.

The two locked eyes and Ruby groaned. "Drown me in a pit of used gun shells."

"Well I never!" Weiss huffed as she walked away.

"You know we're partners now, right?" Ruby asked the whitette.

"I refuse to be partnered with a child!" The Schnee responded as she broke through some foliage and saw Nina sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. 'Smart.' She thought.

Nina frowned. "I believe you left your partner behind." She said.

"I prefer a different partner." Weiss responded.

"As do I." The Chinese female said.

Weiss sighed. "Then I wish you luck." She then turned and walked back to the shorter female. "This by no means, makes us friends." She said.

"Do you really have to be a bitch?" Ruby frowned.

"Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" Weiss asked with a scowl.

'Can't do that anymore.' Ruby thought, but huffed.

Weiss groaned. "C'mon let's go." She said as she began to walk away. "And don't slow me down." Ruby appeared before her in a flurry of rose petals. "Was zur Hölle (What the Hell?)"

"As you've seen, I'm not slow." Ruby gave a cheeky grin.

Weiss shook her head. "Anyway. We need to…"

GROWL!

SQUEAL!

The two females instantly stood back to back.

More of the bipedal wolves like the one Ruby killed earlier emerged from the foliage around them followed by some boar like creatures.

They were quadruped with many features associated with a boar, including cloven-feet, a line of hair sprouting from its spine, snub snout, and tusks. It seems to have four eyes, a series of plates along its back and on its thighs, and two extra sets of tusks, including two large curving tusks.

"Beowolves and Boarbatusks." Ruby muttered.

"I can see that." Weiss replied.

RDP

"Hello~!" Yang said loudly as she was now walking around the forest. "Anyone wants to be this sexy blonde bombshell's partne~r? Just have to make contact with these sweet lilac eye~s!" She declared. "Hm?" She heard a rustle to her left. "Rubes?" She hoped and neared it. "Feather Weight? Nora? Blake?"

Her reply was a growl and her eyes looking up.

"No-p-e." She then rolled to the side, avoiding a large blackened bear claw that was aimed at her head. Yang looked at the creature. "Just an Ursa."

It has black fur and bony spikes on its back and arms, as well as white, bone-like mask with red detailing, and was large and stocky. The bear stood at an intimidating seven feet tall with its body. The creature looked at girl with its yellow-red glowing eyes with nothing but hate and anger . It has bony spikes on its back, shoulders, and hind legs. The creature growled at her, its teeth filled maw opened.

A second growl was heard and she flipped backwards high over another Ursa.

"C'mon. 'Bear' with me." She grinned as her cuffs unfolded and extended, covering her wrists, hands, and fingers. The gauntlets have a golden color and the shells inside are red and orange. Inside there are chambers that holster a magazine consisting of 12 shells, giving the weapons 24 shots in total if both gauntlets are fully loaded, which they are now. A silver-ish gray barrel is concealed in the front of the gauntlet, aligned between the knuckles of the index and middle finger.

The first Ursa launched at her, left paw ready to swipe, but the blonde rushed in and send a hard jab to the open chest.

BANG!

The resulting attack caused an explosion and sent the large bear Grimm away. The second one attempted to leap on her, but she quickly sent an uppercut and a thrust kick to the gut.

Yang was bouncing on the balms of her feet as the two Ursa shook off their hits. "You two wouldn't happen to see a girl about yay high, red hood, and carries a rather large sniper-scythe now, would you?"

The two Grimm stood on their hind legs and growled.

"I guess not, huh?" She scratched the back of her head. She avoided a one-two swipe from the closes Ursa and strafe left to avoid a downward swipe. Yang used her training to good use and stepped close and personal and slammed a double fist strike into the chest area. "Shuānglóng huǒyàn bàozhà (Double Dragon Fire Roar)." A click was heard and was soon followed by the sound of a shotgun, the back of the Ursa bursting outwards with blackened gore and dust. Yang stood there in her stance as the beast before began to break away in black dust.

And yes, she felt badass as she slowly stood still and took a deep breath.

"Next." She grinned.

The second Ursa took a lumbering step forward and roared in challenging manner.

"You're challenging me? A Xiao Long?" Yang chuckled as her eyes burdened red, her hair giving a soft fiery glow. She then slammed her fists together. "Bring it!"

The Grimm rushed at her, feet thundering the forest ground as Yang wanted to meet it halfway. The two were close to clashing; the sound of a shot and blade cutting through was heard.

Both combatants stopped. The Ursa due to a black blade lodged into its head and Yang due to the interruption.

Yang huffed as the Ursa fell back, the blade being tugged away by a flat cord that looks like a ribbon into the hands of one Blake Belladonna. "I could've handled it." She muttered with a smile.

"I'm sure you can...partner." Blake allowed a small smile on her lips.

...

Nina heard a growl and leaped back as Beowolf came down from above. She landed and snapped her left leg back just another Beowolf came out and struck it in the snout. Landing on her feet, she pulled out a gold colored foot long staff, only for it to extend to five feet with two blue curved blades erupted from the side forming a bident. She twirls it around and held it at the ready as more Beowolves slowly come out to surround her.

One of the pack attacks from her right and she struck it with a quick thrust, piercing it skull for an instant kill. She then yanked it out and hit the one behind her, making it trip over the staff. She then twirls the weapon again, the weapon mecha-forming into a long barreled gun. Taking aim at the tumbling Beowolf, she shot the head with precision. She the leaped forward as two tried to pincer her with their claws and missed. Like those awesome Chinese martial arts movies, she glided forward and popped three more before landing and sliding on the ground, her bident form reverted. She missed the one above that pounced towards her with a howl and caught her attention.

Nina looked up and cursed just as two more came to try and rip her apart.

"Get down!" A female cried out and did just as a bronze, yellow shield sailed and hit the two lupine Grimm like a certain star spangled hero.

Heroine in this case.

Pyrrha shot out the foliage and impaled the airborne Beowolf in the neck with a short handled spear. Landing on the dissolving creature, she held her hand out at the shield that was imbedded in a third Beowolf that was at a distance. The shield shook a bit before launching at the redhead's outstretched hand.

Nina saw that some of the lupine Grimm were distracted and quickly took out two more of the pack and looked around to notice that the rest ran away. Sighing, she collapsed her weapon and strapped it to her lower back. "Thank you." She said as she kept her gaze away.

Caw!

Nina looked and her eyes widened as a small avian Grimm flew towards her. 'A Crave?' She thought.

The Crave is an avian Grimm about the size of a crow and was flying towards her. It has four narrowed eyes and a serrated beak being four inches and curved down at an angle. The top half of its head was bone plated and had red tribal markings along the sides and forehead. The top of the head was adorned with a small but forward curved horn.

Bang!

Squawk!

Nina's eyes were wide as the spear flew passing her and impaled the Crave to a three, the body dissolving into black dust.

"I'm sorry about that." Pyrrha apologized as she called her spear back. "Are you okay?"

Nina finally turned to the redhead, her eyes meeting green. "I am. Thank you for your assistant." She gave a small bow, her palm folding her fist. "My name is Nina Wang. Pleased to meet you."

"Pyrrha Nikos." The champion smiled.

"I know of you." Nina nodded. "Worry not. I'm not like those fanatics."

"Thank Oum." The redhead sighed.

Weiss leaped away from a swipe that was aimed at her stomach. Landing, she stood tall and held her weapon at the ready like a fencer. 'Remember your training.' She thought as the Beowolves around her surrounded her. 'Head up. Shoulders back. Right foot forward. Not that forward! Now wait for the right moment.'

…

…

…

The chamber in her weapon rotated and the red dust vial glowed. 'Now!' She shot off with a speed, her weapon posed to strike the Beowolf before her.

"Look out!" Ruby's voice warned, but it was too late.

Weiss was suddenly blindsided by one of the Boarbatusks, hitting and her attack, a row of fire, was sent off course and burned a sole tree in the field.

Ruby used her speed and was suddenly behind the white haired female and stopped her from hitting a boulder. "You okay?" She asked keeping her eyes on the gathered Grimm.

"I think I will be." Weiss muttered as she shook her head and ignored the rose petals around her.

"Good." The red tipped blackette nodded as the two stood up. "I think leaving would be a good idea though."

"Why is that?" Weiss asked with a scowl. "They are clearly outclassed."

"We are outnumbered." Ruby shot back. "Beowolves work as a pack and Boarbatusks just rolls over whatever has aura. Plus that fire will bring more."

Weiss wanted to retort, but seeing more of the Grimm, she mentally conceded. Wordlessly, the two managed to get away, the Beowolves howling to day sky.

Weiss and Ruby reached a good distance away.

"What the hell was that?" The younger female muttered. "It wanted to look like the Grimm were actually thinking."

"That's impossible." Weiss shook her head. "The Grimm are merely beasts that wishes for nothing more to tear all of us apart."

"And that Beowolf did not stand still like bait so you can get hit by a Boarbatusk?" Ruby asked in a sarcastic manner.

"Listen here you little girl." Weiss scowled. "As much as I disagree with these arrangements, we are partners." She tapped the shorter female chest. "If it was up to me, you wouldn't even be in this academy." She whirled and turned away. "Insufferable little brat."

"Frosty bitch." Ruby growled between her teeth as she pulled out her scythe and cut a tree down with a single swing. She then followed the heiress, muttering in Chinese as the tree fell over with a crash, a very large black feather gliding down on it several seconds later.

…

A pair of gold irises within purple sclera open. Seconds later the colors changed from gold to blue with black rounded pupils and purple sclera to white.

"Hm…" Jaune laid on a branch above the hidden camera, running his fingers over a Crave's feathered back. "They rather talented for Dustlings so young and around my age." He hummed as the Crave thrilled in a relaxing manner. "Very strong indeed." He looked down and raised an eyebrow to see a King Taijitu slowly making its way to a prey. "One of the students to be must be here." He noted as the other head at the end glanced at up to him, but did nothing.

The King Taijitu is a large Grimm, easily dwarfing Jaune if he were to stand by it. It sports many fangs in its jaws, with a long, black forked tongue to boot. It has two halves, a black one and a white one, that are joined in the center with a head at each end. The black half is primarily black in color, though it does contain a few speckles of white on its underbelly, as well as some isolated areas along its body. Its color scheme is very similar to that of the Beowolves and Ursa that have also been encountered in the Emerald Forest. It has large, blood-red eyes and a white bony covering with red markings on the top of its head. The white half is essentially the inverse of the black half. It also has large, blood-red eyes; however, the bony covering on the top of its head is primarily deep gray with red markings. Also, toward the end of its body, its scales appear to have a checkerboard design of gray and white, before turning black and white, then turning completely black as the other half's design comes into play.

Jaune shrugged. He did not care if anyone was hurt unless it was those he was closely considering as friends. He then saw that the large Grimm had pick up the scent of its prey. Looking ahead, the young man saw a hair of ginger accompanied with a humming tune at a distance.

With a simple wave, the Crave flew off into the distance, his hold no longer on it. He then followed the ginger, eager to see what she can do.

Nora was humming along as she made her way through the Emerald Forest. "I wonder if I'll be partnered up with Nina?" She hummed. "Oeh! Or Maybe Ruby? Or Maybe Jaune." She stopped walking and tapped her chin, the King Taijitu's black head hovering silently behind its prey.

Jaune watched as the Grimm lashed forward, Nora leaping to the side and rolled to a stop. 'Quick reflexes.' He hummed.

Nora pulled out her weapon, a Warhammer-grenade launcher combo. The weapon in whole was as long as she is tall. The hammer was shaped like ink pen with pinked feather shaped edges at the back. She held it at the ready as the serpentine Grimm hissed at her. "Bring it, Snakey!" She challenged.

Jaune could only snort in amusement.

The King Taijitu felt rather insulted and lunged at the female, maws wide open ready to gobble the female in one swoop.

Jaune was about to intervene, but noted that serpent stopped. Interested, he took hold of a smaller Crave and saw something rather surprising.

Nora was holding back the jaws, left hand at the upper and her right foot holding the lower. The ginger grunted as she held her hammer and it mecha-morphed into a grenade launcher. Grinning, she held it up and aimed down its gullet. "Eat up!" She yelled as she pulled the trigger, blowing the top head of the Grimm to gore and black dust. "Well." She wiped her forehead with a peppy smile. "That went well."

Before she had a time to a take a step, the white half hissed as it lunged at her back. Nora's eyes widened as she had forgotten that the King Taijitu is a two in one Grimm.

Shink!

But the head was cut in half down the middle, the dissolving halves breaking down into to black dust as Jaune was kneeling with his blade down. Standing up, he gave the ginger a grin. "I was just passing by and couldn't help and realize that you were here."

"Hi, Jaune!" She waved as she skipped at him with a big smile.

Standing up as he sheathed his blade away, he smiled. "I saw how you took out that Taijitu. Nice work."

"Awe shucks." Nora looked bashful as she kicked a rock away. "You're pretty cool too."

The young man laughed. "How about we get those relics, hm?"

"Yep!" Nora held her hand up. "Put 'em there, partner!"

Jaune shook her hand and noted that it was bleeding. "Nora. Did you unlock your aura?"

"Nope!" She replied.

'So that was pure physical strength.' The blonde thought in amazement.

RDP

"Hey, Neo!" Roman called as he walked into the room, many assortments of jewelries and neatly stacks of empty buckets of ice-cream ranging from a multitude of flavors.

"When will she ever stop collecting these?" The ember eyed woman sighed as she stepped into the room.

The woman about her early to mid-twenties has black flowing hair that leads down to her hips and glowing yellow-orange eyes with a flop of hair over her left eye, while her fingernails are painted dark red. She wears dark-red, off-the-shoulders, v-neck mini-dress with yellow designs on the arms and around the hips. There is a blue feather-like accessory on her right hip at the top of an open portion of her dress. The dress ends in an upside-down triangular tail in the back, ending just above the knees. There is a baseball diamond-shaped keyhole on the dress' upper back at the same height as her D-cup bust. The sleeves end in a triangle shape, which are wrapped or tied around her middle finger, with the gold designs of the sleeve taking over at the wrists. On her upper back, in the keyhole of her dress, she has a black tattoo of what appears to be a pair of high heel shoes placed sole to sole, forming a heart shape inside. She wears black shorts underneath her dress and a black choker on her neck. She also wears a set of gold loop earrings with a black gem dangling from each. She has dark, glass, high-heeled shoes and a jeweled anklet on her right leg.

"When she gets a brain freeze so cold Atlas might relocate here." The man chuckled and knocked on the doorframe. "Neo. Wake up, honey." He said.

The bed at the end was rather large pink bed with a single lump moving in it. A head moved out showing a cute face with half lidded heterochromia eyes, left brown and right pale cream. Her hair color is brown at the half and pink, a white streak in it, at the right half. The eyes blinked, the colors switching places and pale being pink. The head yawned without a sound.

The woman stepped forward. "Neo, I would like for you do a favor for me."

The sheet shuffled and a hand slipped out with a scroll open and the words typed on the screen. "What's in it for me?"

The woman sighed. "I'll buy you those seven flavors in one ice-cream you like so much." She bargained.

Roman looked to the woman. "Cinder. No."

"Cinder. YES!" The bedded female wrote with a face splitting grin. "Do you have a picture?"

Cinder reached to her side and pulled out her scroll. "I managed to take a picture of him when Roman and I tried to get way from Glynda." She showed her the picture, revealing the white Nevermore feather wielding robed male, but with half his face revealed due to bullheads's light on him.

Neo looked at his face, committing it to memory. "He's pretty handsome. Mind if I play with him?" She looked at the two.

Cinder shrugged. "Do what you wish." She simply said. "But do be careful." 'Why does he give off the same feeling as my mistress?' She thought. 'I need a deeper look into this.'

RDP

Jaune, with his hood back up and his face hidden in the darkness, and Nora were making their way through the forest. Over the small time, they learned a bit more about each other.

Nora was a survivor from a Grimm attack on her village, being saved by a team led by Nina's father. The man's partner took her in her care. Also, she did not unlock her aura. 'Time to remedy that.'

Nora was humming as she walked beside her partner. She may be sad to not have been partnered with her best friend, but she was happy to have nice person as her partner. She already knew that he has seven sisters and two stepmothers, making it a family of twelve! She hopes to someday make a big family too!

RDP

Three powerful females in their own rights feel their back tingle.

'Future grandmother senses tingling!' They thought as one and looked to each other with nods.

At the same time Jaune's father was playing with his youngest daughter. He then stopped. "Why do I feel like I'll be trying to calm my wives down?" He blinked. "And why do I feel like patting Jaune on the back with a proud smile? And why do I think that's I'll have a lot of grandkids begging me to tell them stories of my awesome, bizarre, and epic adventures?"

"Papa?" The youngest of his offspring looked him with her cute red eyes.

The man patted her head, earning a giggle from her. "Just thinking of your brother dear."

"Will he be okay? Will we see him again?" She asked.

"I sure he is." He picked her up with his corrupted arm and ticked her tummy with his normal, earning a cute giggle from her. "And I'm sure he'll be happy to see us soon too?"

Red eyes brightened at the news.

RDP

Jaune then stopped and looked to his partner. "I believe it is about time to unlock your aura, Nora." He said.

The Valkyrie stopped. "Can you do that?" She inquired.

"Of course." He nodded. "I've unlocked my younger sister's aura under the guide of my mothers."

"Cool." Nora awed at her hooded partner.

"Before I begin. Do you know what Aura is, Nora?" The young man asked.

"Hm~" Nora closed her eyes. "Papa said that Aura is the manifestation of one's soul, and can be used for a wide range of abilities. The specific abilities and their strengths differ from individual to individual and are dependent on a number of factors, such as experience, training, and innate skill." She explained.

Blue eyes blinked within the darkness of the hood. "That is correct." He smiled and Nora did so too, feeling that he was proud. "Now then." He raised his hands. "Take a deep breath and focus." He then placed his left hand on her forehead and the right hand on her chest just above her cleavage. "I will use my native tongue since I am more confident that way. And it sounds rather cool." He chuckled, Nora giggling in agreement.

"For it is in passing that we achieve immortality (Επειδή περνάει ότι επιτύχαμε την αθανασία). Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all (Μέσα από αυτό, γινόμαστε ένας παράγων της αρετής και της δόξας να ανεβαίνουμε πάνω απ 'όλα). Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee (Άπειρη σε απόσταση και χωρίς σύνδεση με το θάνατο, απελευθερώσω την ψυχή σου και με τον ώμο μου, σε προστατεύω)."

As Jaune spoke, his aura slowly leaked from his being, purple mixed with gold. Her partner's own was also leaking out, taking a color of electric green and encasing her form. 'There we go.' He thought.

Nora felt like her body got lighter. The world got clearer. Her eyes seen far. Her ears hearing the smallest of sounds. Smiling, she watched as he partner took a step back, pulling his hood behind. "Congratulations, Nora. You've now unlocked your aura."

"Yay!" She twirled, electricity sparking around her.

"That's rather shocking." He chuckled. "Look at your hand."

The ginger did and to her surprise, her hand was slowly healing. "Wow!" Nora gasps and tapped his nose. "Boop".

Jaune simply smiled and gave her a few minutes. "I think we should press on." He chuckled.

"Lead the way, Jaune-Jaune!" Nora pointed to a direction.

"Of course." He laughed in good nature at the nickname giving to him.

RDP

Glynda was huffing as she continued to look at how the initiation was doing. "It seems like the last pairs has been formed, sir. Pyrrha Nikos with Nina Wang. Jaune Arc with Nora Valkyrie.

"Hm." The man nodded as he glanced at the blonde female. "Is there something on your mind, Glynda?" He asked.

The woman took a deep soft breath and let it out slowly. "I am rather...suspicious of Mr. Arc's transcripts." She confessed. "He seems rather calm and easy in the forest. Not to mention, he has not encountered any Grimm from as far as I can see."

"We will see soon enough, Glynda." The man took a sip of coco. "At their current pace, they will be at the ruins in a few moments."

"Speaking of ruins. What did you use as the relics this year, sir?"

"Chest pieces." He simply said as he took a sip of coco and sighed in delight.

RDP

"It's this way." Weiss said as she walked pass a seated Ruby Rose. "No. Wait." She paused. "It's that way." She passed behind the seated Rose, who only groaned.

"Just admit that we're lost and we'll keep moving." The silver eyed female sighed.

"We're not lost.' Weiss defended.

"Then where are we?" Ruby asked as she stood up and crossed her arms under her bust, unintentionally raising them up.

Weiss' eyebrow twitched in envy at how a younger female has a more developed in the bust area than her. "I know exactly where we are."

"Then prove it." She then shook her head. "No, don't bother. Cause you don't."

"Then we'll just keep moving." Weiss spoke.

"Well you've been moving in one area. I was wondering when we'll actually move to the next." Ruby countered.

"It's not like you know where we are?" The Schnee said back.

"At least I'm not pretending to be a damn know-it-all!" The Rose shouted.

"And what do you mean by that?" Ice blue eyes narrowed.

"It means you're being bitch right now!" The girl with the silver eyes yelled. "You're not perfect!"

"No. I'm not." Her partner turned and walked away. "But I am leagues ahead of you."

"You don't even know a damn thing about me." Ruby muttered as she silently followed the whitette.

RDP

Yang and Blake made it pass a few trees and were looking over a ruined wall with several pedestals.

"Think this is it?" The blonde asked, getting a deadpanned momentarily stare from the other female.

"One way to know." She muttered as she stepped forward, the blonde following her.

The two reached and noted that there were chess pieces colored between gold and black, one on each pedestal.

"Some of them are missing." Blake said.

"Looks like some of 'em got here before us, huh?" She smiled.

"We should pick one." The bow haired female motioned to the pieces.

"How about this one?" Yang offered as she picked the Knight piece.

RDP

"Oeh!" Nora looked at the cave before her. "Let's go travel into the deep unknown."

"Shouldn't we focus on getting the relics?" Jaune inquired.

"They could be in here." Nora whined.

She really wants to explore the cage.

"Nora, I don't think that's a-." He stopped and looked into the cage. He suddenly felt a whole heap of negative emotions inside.

Anger.

Betrayal.

Grief.

Fear.

Despair.

"Jaune-Jaune?" Nora tilted her head to the side as she saw her partner now focusing to the cave.

"I think we should check it out." He said with narrowed eyes.

"Yes!" Nora pumped her fist.

Jaune shook his head and patted her's. "But be on your guard." He warned as he drew his blade and his shield opened up. "We don't know what's in there."

"Got it, Fearless Leader!" Nora saluted and she pulled out her weapon in its grenade launcher form.

They then entered, both being careful as they walked through the darkening tunnel. Jaune could naturally see in the dark, but had found a stick and lit with a fire crystal he had on him.

For Nora's sake of course.

The two stopped, hearing the sounds of shuffling ahead of them. Nora squinted her eyes as she tried to look, but Jaune saw a figure leaning against the wall at the left side of the cave that seems to be breathing in a ragged manner.

"Hold this, Nora." He gave the stick to the Valkyrie. "Are you okay?" He asked the figure.

The two saw a set of orange eyes with slit pupils glowing a few feet from them. A growl was then heard and the sound of a blade being unsheathed.

Swoosh! Clang!

"Jaune!" Nora gasps as she heard the sound and saw her partner holding a set of serrated double blade from getting into his head.

"Nora! Outside! Now." He commanded.

"Damn humans!" The person yelled in the voice of an angry female. "Get away!" She yelled as s second blade was unsheathed.

Shink!

Swo-clang!

Jaune was quick to replace his sword with shield and quickly blocked the second blade from slicing at his side.

Now that they were at a standstill, the male can see the otter hate and loathing glowing into those cat-like eyes.

'She is really angry.' He thought as he used a bit of force to knock back the blades and caused her arms to open wide.

The woman was rather shocked at the strength of the young purple tipped blonde that managed to hold her bag. 'A human boy. Stronger than me?' She thought as she felt the front of her robe grabbed and her body lurched and flew towards the cave entrance. She then saw a female human with a grenade launcher in her hand. Quickly correcting herself, she set her sight on the ginger, her twin gauntlet curved blades ready to render flesh from bone.

Nora watched as a person garbed in a torn and tattered grey robe flew out of the cave and towards her, serrated double wrists blades on each wrist out and pointed at her. She held her weapon, mecha-morphing to its warhammer form and slammed it down on the four blades. A loud clang resounded in the area and Jaune rushed out of the cave caught sight of the robed female flipping over the hammer wielder.

The robed woman landed; her feet and hands dragging over the dirt and patches of grass. She raised her head, showing her eyes that glinted with murderous intent.

The two partners stood side by side, Jaune slightly forward, Nora holding her war-hammer with a small frown on her face.

'How did they find me?' The female thought to herself as she inspected the two humans before her, allowing some of her black hair to be seen by the younger teens. She then recalled coming to this area at night fighting off the Grimm despite the injury she has. 'Adam. I swear on my blood that you will die!' She thought and she mentally cursed her luck, never thinking that she would face people so soon after escaping her fate.

Jaune narrowed his eyes at the female. She remained low, claws out and ready. "Who are you and why are you here?" He asked.

"That is of no concern to you, human." She spat with a growl.

Nora noted something red sliding down the woman's left side of her robe. "She hurt." She said, the woman holding the side and scowled.

'Damn!' She mentally hissed at the throbbing of her injury. 'My aura hasn't completely replenished itself yet.'

Gro~wl.

The woman cursed as she heard the growl behind her, recognizing it as a Ursa. She leaped up, avoiding the swipe that could have smacked her to the side.

"Nora. Head!" Jaune shouted.

"Right!" The ginger nodded and shot an explosive round at the large dark beast.

The woman landed and was about to make a run, when the male leaped at her. She growled as she avoided his downward swing, but suffered a shield bash to her chest that forced her to stagger back by a few steps. She snarled at the purple tip blonde and lunged at him.

Nora frowned as the Ursa was clipped by the round and held her war hammer. She rushed towards, sliding under a swipe and swung for the knee, breaking it with no problem. She then leaped up, holding her weapon high and swung down with both the recoil of her next shot along with her explosive strength and was successful in smashing the skull. "Whoo..." She wiped her forehead and was ready to help her partner.

Jaune avoided and blocked the claw strikes from the robed female with ease, parrying the ones that came close to home and diverting them away from the vital targets. "Nora. Shock!"

The woman didn't have time to respond as set of arms wrapped around her stomach. Snarling, she managed to flip the ginger over and slammed her to the ground, holding her blade to her neck. "Don't. Move." She growled, holding the blade to the Valkyrie's neck and pointing the other to Jaune's direction.

Jaune stood still, complying to robe woman's wishes. "Maybe we can come to an agreement." He proposed noting the woman's slight slouch posture. 'She's running on steam. If I can distract her, I'll be able to shatter her aura.' He planned.

"And why should I trust you?" She asked, adding a bit more pressure to Nora's neck when she shifted.

"Because you're weakened right now." He began. "You're tired and we're still raring to go. The moment you lapse up, you'll lose."

"As if I'll ever lose." She growled, a pant broke through her lips.

Jaune smiled. "I beg to differ."

SCREECH!

The sound got their attention; the woman unwillingly looked up to see a Nevermore flying overhead.

"Why did you have to shoot it?!" A voice was heard above them as the giant avian flew ahead of them.

Jaune moved in and fast, tackling the robed woman off his partner and pinning her to the ground. The sound of metal scraping the ground was heard and he moved his head to the side to avoid being skewered by what seems to be a mechanized whip tail with a knife tip.

The woman redirected the tail to the back of his head, but he managed to roll her over, putting himself below and avoiding the attack. She then felt her world flipped as she was swung and her back slammed against the cave wall.

The sound of a glass shattering was heard as she slid down to the ground with a groan.

Jaune held the blade to her neck. "Yield." He commanded.

The woman growled and stopped as she not only felt the blade tickle her neck, but the sound of Nora's grenade launcher clocked on her. Taking a deep breath she sighed and slumped against the wall. "End it then, human." She muttered weakly. "My aura is shattered and you can kill me with no resistance."

"Life is better worth living it." Jaune said and ignored the woman's scoff as he raised her hood with the blade, revealing her face.

The female has a dark complexion and wild black, chin-length hair with an asymmetrical bob style and a styled bang over the right side of her forehead. She is a Faunus with the trait of a tiger ear at the top of her head and second pair of human ears, and her face was adorned with tattoos resembling dark red tiger stripes. She wore four golden earrings on three of her ears, one each on her Human ears, and two on her left Faunus ear as well as a small red jewel on her forehead.

"Nora, remove her robe. We don't know what other wounds she might have on her so try to be gentle." He said.

"Sure!" The ginger chirped and did so, picking up the revealed Faunus with one hand as she removed the robe with the other.

Jaune frowned as Nora gasps at what was revealed to them.

The rest of the woman's body was also tattooed like a tiger, her exposed skin showing the wounds and small gashes. The young man could take a guess and assume that they were few days old at best. She wears a torn form-fitting black dress with light green accents on the rims of the outfit that accentuated her BB-cup bust, firm butt, wide hips; the dress left most of her back open. It has two long tattered splits on the side which revealed a pair of torn and shredded black shorts, a shorter split in the front and a small squared keyhole. Aside from that, she wore torn black stockings in conjunction with green sandals that had red laces which were tied to her calves, as well as a black elbow length fingerless glove on her right hand. On her left side was a red wet spot.

"Have a good look, human." She panted. "This is what your kind has done to me." She looked down. "I was lucky to leave with my purity intact. But it seems it was all for naught."

"Nothing like that will happen." Jaune said with a scowl on his face at the fact that the woman was almost raped. 'I think Saberwolf will have a few chew toys when if I get my hands on them.'

GoLD forbid if his older sisters or caretakers get their hands on the bastards.

Nothing would be left.

He walked forward, shield closing and sheathing his blade. "Place her on the ground, Nora, and hold her gently. I'm going to heal her."

The woman could only grunt as she was laid on the ground. Jaune removed the crude bandages and inspected the wound. It was a rather deep and clean cut, from above her hip bone nearing her stomach. How she survived for long was a miracle in itself. "The Brothers must favor you, miss." Jaune commented as he raised his hands and hovered the over the wound, the palms giving off a white glow in contrasts to the mixed color he used to unlock Nora's aura.

The woman gritted her teeth as she felt her reopened wound forcefully close, her eyes shut tightly as she endured the pain. Her body suddenly jerked in pain, but Nora held her down by her chest and shoulders. "Gha!" She gasps as she felt the wound on her side painfully and finally closed. She panted as she felt her body shutting down. "What…did you do?" She slurred.

"I accelerated your healing with my…Aura." He started. "With that, your energy hit an all-time low and now you're shutting down."

The woman could only feel her eyes closing. The last thought going through her mind was a horned man with red hair wearing a white grim mask over his face.

Yang was inspecting the knight chest piece and hummed as she tossed it around in her hands. "So what do you think this will do?"

"Honestly, I don't know." Blake shrugged.

"But it wasn't so hard finding this place, though." The blonde shrugged with a grin.

"This place is not so hard to ignore." Blake muttered.

RDP

Nina and Pyrrha were making their way to the ruins, both silent and vigilant of the woods around them.

The champion was feeling rather uncomfortable by her silent partner. So she decided to strike up a conversation. "So tell me a bit of yourself, Ms. Wang." She wanted to be respectful to the Chinese descent.

"Not much to know about." Nina replied. "I'm sorry, but I'm not the best in these types of conversations." She sighed.

"You were hoping to be someone else's partner?" The redhead asked.

"Yes." Nia was blunt. "A childhood friend of mine."

"Guess we both didn't get what we wanted." Pyrrha sympathized with the dark bluenette. "But I'm sure we'll meet them soon."

"I hope so." Nina agreed.

The two then stopped, their faces scrunching as they seems to have smelled something rather rotten.

"Ugh!" Pyrrha covered her mouth and nose. "What is that nauseous smell?"

Nina copied the action and looked around. "I don't know, but it's horrible."

They suddenly heard a strange sound around them.

"What was that?" Pyrrha asked as she drew her weapon, Nina doing the same.

"Sounds like a coyote and an elk." Nina muttered.

Pyrrha kept her ears open at the sudden silence, the two back to back. The turned until Nina stepped on a twig.

Snap…

Nina's eyes widened, feeling something was above them and she pushed herself and her partner away.

"Thanks." Pyrrha nodded at her partner and they stood just as a figure crashed before them, getting the two to turn to the cause. "Oh no…" Pyrrha muttered as she saw what was there.

The creature looks gaunt to the point of emaciation. It has black fur patches, the skin seems to be stretched over its body. The head was like that of a deer with torn flesh, its eyes sunken deep into its sockets, leaving two dots of bright red pupils. Its lips are missing, revealing rows of sharped blood red teeth. Above its head are sharp and uneven branched horns. Its arms and and legs are also bony, ending with sharp claws and nails. The creature stood at eleven feet tall even though it slouched, the knuckles grazing the ground.

"What is that?" Nina muttered with wide eyes.

"A Wendigo." Pyrrha muttered as she tried not to allow her fear to grow. "These are rare to encounter and normally meeting one means death." She said.

The now known creature's head tilted at the slightest, a low shrilly howl escaping its mouth.

"Anyway to take it on?" Nina asked her partner.

"None." The redhead shook her head.

"The 'death' part, right?" Nina murmured as she and her partner took some cautions back steps.

"Right." Pyrrha copied her motion and stepped on a twig.

The Wendigo's eyes glowed within its socket and let out a lout screeching roar.

"RUN!" Pyrrha shouted as the two booked it.

RDP

Jaune's head snapped to the direction of the sound and mentally cursed. The woman was held in his arms like a princess. He noted that the mechanized 'tail' was slumped like the woman's form. 'Must be integrated to her spine.' He thought.

"That sounded like a T-rex banging a deer while trying to start a car." Nora said, getting her partner's attention.

"What?" He questioned.

Nora simply shrugged. "It just popped into my head."

Jaune couldn't stop the chuckle from escaping his lips. "I say we get to the relics and get this woman some immediate medical attention."

"You got it, Jaune-Jaune!" She cocked her launcher.

RDP

"You heard that, right?" Yang asked.

"That's a weird roar." Blake nodded. "That definitely a Grimm. No animals can make a sound like that."

Swoosh.

The two looked up, Blake's bows twitched a bit, and they paled at the sight of the Nevermore flying over them.

"Maybe it didn't see us." Blake muttered.

"Let's hope so." Yang agreed as they heard a few bushed rustle ahead of them. They pulled out their weapons and were ready to take on whatever was coming. out.

Thankfully, they did not need to worry as Nora and Jaune, carrying a cloaked figure sprinted out of the bushes.

"Hey, Feather Weight." Yang smiled at the male. "What you got there?"

"Someone that Nora and I fought. She was heavily wounded and she was pushing herself." He shrugged as best as he can. "She put up a fight."

Blake noted the mechanized tail hanging limply and her eyes widened a fracture. 'Can't be…' She thought.

"Heads up!" Ruby shouted from above, the older teenagers looking up, much to Yang's horror, as the small scythe wielder was plummeting to the floor.

"RUBY!" She shouted as she ran.

"Nora, hold her." Jaune passed the unconscious woman to his partner and bolted to red tipped blackette. He was fast enough to pass Yang, reaching closer to the younger sister, and slid on the grassy ground. He grunt as he caught her, the two slowing to a slid and holding each other.

"And he made the catch!" Nora cheered.

"Although the landing could use some work." Blake said as she glanced at the cloaked woman, seeing a bit of her tanned skin and black hair. 'It has to be her.' She thought. 'She's the only one that has that scent. But how?' She narrowed her eyes slightly. 'Adam told me she was killed by human hunters.'

"Ruby!" Yang neared the two and was conflicting to either hugging her sister or separating the two.

Jaune laid on his back, his hands protectively around the young Rose's back and head with Ruby's arms wrapped tightly around his neck. The girl's head was buried on the male's chest with her eyes closed tightly.

"Do I have to take you two apart?" Yang's left eyebrow twitched as her eyes flickered between lilac and red.

She's still a big sister, you know.

"It's okay, Ruby." Jaune ignored the older blonde sister and he rubbed her head. "You can open your eyes."

Silver pupils revealed themselves. "Are you okay?" She asked. "I practically fell on you."

Jaune chuckled as he sat up and rubbed the smaller girl's head. "I'm completely fine." He smiled.

Ruby's face flushed at how close she was at the male, but yelped as she was picked up by her cape. "Y-Yang?!"

"You're safe. That's good." She said as she placed her sister to stand and gave the purple tipped blonde a look as he stood up and patted his clothes.

Ruby sighed. She loves her sister, but she was getting annoyed at how overprotective she is at times.

"Thanks…for catching Ruby." She muttered as she looked away.

At least she's humble.

"No problem." Jaune wasn't at all bothered by her protective nature. "I'm just glad that one of us caught her." He then went to the ruins and picked up the Rook piece. "How about this?" He held it to his partner.

With speed and movement unbefitting of a human being, Nora was right by her partner, cloaked woman in her arms and teeth at the crown of the chest piece. She flipped her head, the piece flying up and landed on the crown of her head. "I'm Queen of the castle. I'm Queen of the castle." She sang as she tilted her head from side to side."

"This…is a lot to take in." Yang muttered at how the two were so like this.

"Uhm…" Ruby patted her sister's shoulder and pointed up, the Nevermore flying overhead with a person hanging from it's curved talon.

"Du trottel (You idiot)!" Weiss' voice came from the sky, the group seeing that it came from the Nevermore that screeched loudly. "How could you leave me like this?!" She shouted.

"I told you to jump!" The scythe wielder shouted back.

"She's gonna fall." Bake muttered.

"She'll be fine." Ruby waved off the bow wearing female.

Que Weiss slipping from the talon and descending to her doom.

"She's falling." Jaune sighed.

"Gonna catch the Weissball too?" Yang punned, earning a small chuckle from the sole male, a groan from her sister and partner, and low giggle from Nora.

"I'll see why she's dropping by." He said back and ran off, missing the Xiao Long gob smack expression.

"Did he just." She muttered to herself.

Jaune made a mad dash towards the falling heiress. "Hope I make it a second time." He muttered as he poured energy into his legs and leaped, catching the whitette in his arms. "Gotcha." He smiled as he slid over the ground.

And then tripped over an uprooted rock and tumbled over with the heiress.

The girls face became red at the sight.

Jaune was on his back yet again, the heiress was basically straddling his face as her skirt covered was happening beneath. The male had an upclose view of Weiss' white risqué panties, and the scent of her covered womanhood was basically the air to him. 'She's got some creamy smooth looking thighs.' He thought to himself as he focused to not allow his blood to flow below his waist.

Weiss' face was red as she can feel the young man's cheeks between her thighs and breathing on her womanhood. She began to trembled in both embarrassment and anger and raised her left hand just as Jaune moved the skirt form over his face. "PERVERS (PERVERT)!"

"It was an accid-" He tried to defend.

SMACK!

Yang wince at that. "Oeh."

Jaune had a frown on his face, the hand print healed already.

"I'm…" Weiss began then shook her head. "You should have caught me normally."

"You're welcome." He grumbled.

The sound of the roar was heard again accompanied by the sounds of gunshots.

Ruby shivered. "That doesn't sound good at all."

The group watched as Pyrrha and Nina leaped out of the foliage with what looks like a living nightmare rushing after them on all fours.

"What the fuck is that?!" Yang shouted in shock at the sight of the Wendigo.

"A Wendigo." Jaune frowned. "They are rare in sighting and if encountered, fighting one on your own is basically a death sentence."

"And you know this how?" Blake questioned.

"My dad fought one." He simply replied as a white Wendigo flashed through his mind.

"Jaune!" Pyrrha smiled at the sight of her childhood friend and gave some blind shots at the running Grimm behind them.

"Nora!" Nina was happy to see her friend alive and well.

"Nina!" Nora smiled.

"Well we're all here." Yang crossed her arms. "Now we can all be together."

"I got this." Ruby rushed forward with her semblance rose petals trailing behind her in her wake, using her scythe recoil to boost her speed even further.

"Ruby! Wait!" Yang warned the younger female and ran after her.

The youngest of the bunch let out a battle cry as she passed Nina and Pyrrha, the latter stopping her blind shooting as to not hit the young Rose.

The Wendigo stopped and it howled as it swung one of its lanky arm, whipping it, and hitting the scythe wielder away.

Ruby tumbled over the grass and flipped herself up. "Owie." She muttered and shook her head. The Nevermore's cry caught the young Rose's attention and she looked up see it opened its entire wing span and flapped hard, sending a spray of hardened feathers down on her, one managing to pin her hood into the ground.

"Whoa!" Yang slid to halt and a feather pierced right in front of her. "Ruby! Run!"

"I'm trying!" She shouted back and she altered between unhooking her hood and pulling it from beneath the lodged feather.

The Wendigo rushed towards the struggling female and raised its hands to slam it down on her.

Ruby closed her eyes. "I'm sorry." She muttered, missing three figures rushing pass her.

"Weiss, freeze it! Nora, chest!" Jaune shouted. "I'll get the face."

The Wendigo had no time to react to a white haired female's weapon striking the ground and ice erupted to immobilize it, a shield bash to the face that's knocked its head back, and a hammer slamming into the chest that sent it flying back by a few meters.

Ruby opened her eyes to see Weiss, Jaune, and Nora standing with their backs to her.

"You okay?" Jaune turned to her.

"I…wow." She awed at how the black dressed male looked. 'So…COOL!' She thought. "I…I-I'm fine."

"You are so childish." Weiss huffed as she walked towards her partner and held her weapon at the side. "And dimwitted. And young. And inexperienced." She stopped and took a deep breath. "And…I suppose that I have been rather…"

"Frozen?" Nora supplied.

"Cold." Weiss decided to use that word. "But if we're going to do this." She leaned forward and held her hand out. "We're going to have to this together."

"Alright." Ruby nodded with a smile and took the Schnee heiress' hand. "I'm sorry."

"I suppose I am too." The whitette sighed and pulled her partner to stand.

"Ruby!" Yang and the others reached to them, the Xiao Long hugging her younger sibling in crushing hug. "I'm glad you're okay! Don't do that again."

"I don't think I'll be able to f you try to kill me with your tits." Ruby muttered from the blonde's cleavage. "I'll take my chanced with the Grimm."

Yang released her sister and scratched her head, ignoring Jaune's laughter. "Jealous, Feather Weight?"

"I'll have you know that I get my fair shares of face to cleavage from my older sisters and mothers." He waved his hands.

That got him several looks from the females around him minus the cloaked woman.

Speaking of…

The woman groaned as she regained consciousness. "Where?"

"Ah. You're awake." Jaune was by the woman in a near instant.

'How did he?' Ruby blinked as the female was left at the ruins.

"He fast." Blake commented.

"You…" The woman growled and her head moved back a bit as Jaune held his blade to her neck.

"Jaune! What are you-". Pyrrha made to approach, but stopped as her childhood friend held his hand up without turning away from the robed woman. "You're going to help us, miss." He said.

"And if I don't?" She challenged.

The male raised an eyebrow. "You're surrounded by Huntsmen in training. A Nevermore is over our heads and a Wendigo is in the area." He pointed out. "I don't think the Grimm will have much problem and or issue killing you without a reason."

"So I either fight along you or die?" She growled out.

"Living is better." Jaune said. "So your choice is?"

The woman growled for a few seconds then huffed. "Very well, human." She conceded. "I shall assist you in this."

"Good." Jaune smiled as he held his hand out, the woman grabbing it and pulled her up. "Hold still a moment." He requested.

The woman was wondering what the younger male wanted, but that went out the window when she felt her body getting stronger, and aura colored white outlining both their forms. "What…is this?" She wondered as she can feel that she can take on a Goliath with no problem."

"Amplification." Jaune said as he released his hold. "I can enhance one's aura and body with my own, boosting your stats to a very high standard."

"Is there a catch?" The woman asked.

"You'll be very exhausted when the time runs out." He replied.

The woman frowned. 'If the White Fang had someone you like that…' She then shook her head.

"So what's the plan, Fearless Leader?" Nora asked.

"Our original objective is to get back to the cliffs." Jaune looked at the gathered students, the woman standing by his side. "But with a Nevermore and a Wendigo in our way, that's going to be a problem."

"He's right." Ruby stepped up. "If we ignore them, they'll be a threat later on. We can either kill them or cripple them so they can run away."

"I believe our main concern should be the Wendigo." Pyrrha advised. "From what I've heard they grow as they eat."

"Luckily this one is young." Jaune put in.

"How do you know?" Weiss asked.

"Where I live there's an Methuselah Wendigo, a named Alpha in their terms. It's size can cause a Goliath to think twice and a third time before lumbering away."

"Well shit." Yang muttered.

The Wendigo howled as it was looking at the hovering Nevermore.

"But that's a story for another time." Jaune decided. "We should get those chess pieces then."

Nina and Pyrrha took the two remaining Rook pieces and nodded while placing the away.

Ruby nodded and took the Knight piece and passed the second to her partner while Jaune took the second Rook piece. The two looked at each other and they nodded.

Jaune flipped his hood up, his face covered in darkness as he made a turn, his robe fluttering his movement.

"So cool." Ruby grinned she followed suit. "Alright ladies and gent, we have a test to pass!"

The group followed with Yang lagging behind a bit and Blake noticed that and stopped. She couldn't help but look at the three hooded people in awe.

"You okay?" Blake asked.

"Just that..." She shook her head. "It's nothing." She smiled and the two followed up.

The group of nine ran with Jaune, Ruby and hooded female at the front.

"Split!" Ruby shouted. "Weiss, Yang, Blake. With me!"

"Nora, Pyrrha, Nina, Lady. My side!" Jaune directed.

The two groups split, running through the old pillars and bridges. They took up positions, weapons ready and most in gun modes.

The Nevermore flew overhead, having decided that the humans were easier to deal with. It landed on an old spire and let out a loud trill.

"It's blocking the way to the cliff!" Weiss.

"Well damn then." Yang groaned.

Just then the Wendigo rushed out on all fours.

"Move!" Jaune shouted as they all ran away from the lanky Grimm, the avian type seeing this and took flight once again.

"Nora! Head and shoulders!" Jaune shouted.

"Aye!" She complied as she ran out of the cover and shot several grenades, hitting close to the targeted area with pink explosions.

The Nevermore flapped its wings, sending a spray of large and sharpened feathers to rain down on the ginger. The hooded woman slide in, wrists blades and clashing against the giant black feathers. Nora continued to shoot it until it flew away.

The Wendigo came up behind them, red eyes glowing within the sockets and punched at them.

Nina, Blake, and the hooded woman intercepted it, slashing and stabbing at its torso and knocking the limbs to the side as Weiss landed by the ginger and used a white glyph to launch them away to help stave off the Nevermore.

The Nevermore unleashed another spray of feathers, missing the duo that it aimed at.

Jaune looked back to see Nina and Blake taking on the Wendigo and they ran off with t chasing them.

"Suppression fire!" Jaune shouted as he sheathed his sword and pulled out the weapon, the hilt opened at the tip of the sheath as the handle bended down with a trigger popping up as a slim barrel popped out.

"Go! Go!" Pyrrha urged and the duo began to open fire on the Wendigo, hitting its face and forcing it to cover it as the two other huntresses in training ran passed them and gave assist fire. "Let's move now!" She said and they nodded before running over the old bridge.

The Nevermore flew across, seeing them, and smashed through the bridge, separating Blake, Nina, the hooded female, and Pyrrha from the others.

Jaune rolled to a stop, ignoring Ruby and Nora's shooting at the flying avian Grimm in favor of giving cover fire at the Wendigo.

"Jaune-Jaune!" The ginger went to her partner.

"We need to help them." He said as he stood up.

Nora grinned as she went to the edge of the broken bridge and jumped, her weapon changing to its warhammer form, and swung hard unto the broken end.

"What are you- whoa!" He shouted in shock as a portion of the bridge was uplifted and launching over the ginger. The male recuperated and redshifted his weapon, pulling out his blade and blocking an arm from striking Blake before slashing it.

The wendigo was rather quick to avoid losing its lanky limb.

"Hee, hee, hee." Nora giggled as she held her hand over her eyes and pulled the trigger of her warhammer and the artillery shot her across the gap. She was glad that her partner distracted in time for her to smash the head down, and the rest of the body, unto the bridge. "Ha! Ha!" She gave a triumphant shout.

"Nora! Move!" Nina warned as the Wendigo bend its back forward, almost hitting the Valkyrie with its feet and pushing her back.

Unfortunately, she had hit into both Blake and the hooded woman and knocked them over.

"Woah!" Blake shouted.

"Damn it!" The woman cursed.

Blake looked up and saw the Nevermore turned around. "Hold on!" She shouted as she wrapped her arm around the hooded woman's face, and swung her weapon via the ribbon before tossing it. She snagged it around the Nevermore's talon and they were hoisted up, the bow wearing female maneuvering them above the avian Grimm and landed on its back.

The two felt the Nevermore tried to shake them, but the balanced themselves while they hack and slash away against its feathered hide, jumping off its tail, and Blake swung them to another platform as the giant bird flew off. It tried to turn back at them, but was hit by a volley of ice bolts and sniper shells.

Ruby and Weiss managed to drive away the Nevermore as Yang ran to them. Blake and the hooded woman landed on what seems to be a lookout tower, her hood flowing back to reveal her face, Faunus ears, and hair.

'Sienna?!' Blake thought in shock. 'That's impossible!'

"Nice ears." Yang grinned despite the situation and the gunshots behind her.

She simply grunted. "Take care of Nevermore, aim for its tail and wing joints to mess with its flight." She said and turned to see the rest of the younger teens fight off the Wendigo. "I'll help them out." She said and leaped.

"That's a though bird." Blake said.

"The tougher they are, the harder they fall." Ruby said as she locked on to the bird. "We'll hit with everything we got!"

Weiss turned her dial and a glyph appeared before her.

Blake reformed her weapon to a pistol.

Yang cocked her gauntlets.

"Open fire!" The youngest of the four shouted and they did just that. Sniper rounds, gunshots, shotgun shells and volleys of ice bolts were sent flying at the Nevermore.

The Grimm ignored the peppered attacks and smashed through the tower and allowed it to crumble form the crash and old age.

The four proceeded to make their way up to a higher level, using the falling debris as stepping stones.

Weiss and Ruby landed on a platform as Yang landed on another bridge, running towards the Nevermore.

"None of this is working." The Schnee heiress grunted as Blake swung up with her ribbon and Yang found a higher point and began to let out a few shots of her weapon.

Ruby looked around and nodded." I have a plan. Cover me!"

Weiss responded by turning the dial of her weapon and shot out some yellow bolts at the flying Grimm.

…

The Faunus landed and slashed at the limb just as Jaune knocked it from hitting Nina.

"This bridge is gonna break down!" Nina shouted. "We gotta move!"

Jaune looked to Pyrrha and they nodded as one before they ran ahead. The Wendigo let out its unique howl and swung it right arm, Jaune blocking it and slashing at it, cutting the limb, but not removing it from the body. Pyrrha followed up and blocked the left arm and slashed at the face.

The Wendigo stepped back and lost its right horn to the Nikos and roared in a mixture of pain and anger. Seeing the tiger eared human rushing towards it, it stretched its lanky arms and tried to grab her.

Sienna leaped over the outstretched arms and came down with slash to the chest, gouging out some of the fur. She then leaped over it, her tail wrapping around the neck and proceeded to brutally stab at the back.

Nina ignored the Wendigo's roar and shot at the face. While it tried to get the Faunus off its back and was backing off as well. It then slammed its fists down, missing Nina as she step to the side and leaped at the chest, her bident reformed and impaling it. She then yelped as she was grabbed around her torso and thrown to the side, her back slamming against one of the old pillars.

"Nina!" Nora shouted as she bombarded the Grimm with some shots.

"Go to her!" Jaune said and looked to the Faunus. "Get off its's back!"

Sienna did so and sent one last slash, cutting off the other horn and making it roar in pain.

"We gotta put that thing down and fast." Pyrrha said.

"Any plans?" The woman asked a she slid by their side.

The purple tipped blonde nodded and looked to see several pillars that hung like stalactite hanging a few feet away from them. "I got a plan." He sheathed his weapon and it reformed to its rifle form. "We're gonna push it back under those." He nodded at them.

Nora reached to Nina and held her to sit. "You okay, Nina?" She asked in worry.

"Nothing aura can do." She grunted as she stood up with the ginger's help. She sighed and saw both Jaune and her partner shooting at the Wendigo, alternating between the face and chest. She saw where they were forcing it and mentally applauded at the plan.

"Nora. Nina. I need you to bring the roof down!" Jaune shouted over the noise.

Nina and Nora looked at each other nodded before they went and help the two.

Jaune was glad that his plan was working, the Wendigo standing below the ceiling with jagged stalactite above it. "Now!"

The two female let lose their artilleries, hitting the support beams and letting the broken ceiling collapse on the Wendigo, the spikes piercing through its body and kicking up a lot of dust as the structure crashed down on the lanky Grimm. The dust settled and the Grimm was struggling to remove the tons of ancient debris off its body.

"Λυπάμαι που έπρεπε να τερματίσει με αυτόν τον τρόπο για έναν τόσο νέους όπως εσύ (I'm sorry it had to end this way for one as young as you)." Jaune spoke as he approached the struggling Grimm. "Όταν ξαναγεννιέσαι από τα βάθη, μπορείς να μείνεις ανάμεσα στις σκιές και μακριά από το φως (When you are reborn from the depths, may you stay among the shadows and away from the light)."

By the time he was done talking, the Grimm was breathing steadily, it red eyes dulled in what many would assume to be calmness.

Jaune held his rifle at the Wendigo's skull. "Αναπαύσου εν ειρήνη (Rest in peace)."

BLAM!

The head of the creature was blown off in black matter. Jaune took a deep shuddering breath as the body began to break apart into black dust. It was one thing that was ingrained within his siblings and him.

Sometimes you just have to take out the very people that follow you.

In this case, Grimm.

"Are you okay?" Nora asked her partner who seemed to have mourned for lost soul.

"I'm fine." He turned and smile.

Nora simply accepted and nodded.

Sienna looked at the male.

Yang was standing one of the old pillars, shooting at the flying Grimm, the shots hitting its body and wings. She knew it was annoying as it did a wave and attempted gobble her up in one bite, but the blonde was ready and leaped up. She held the beak open with her left arm and her legs straight. Reloading her right gauntlet with expert ease, she cocked the chambers with a wide grin. "I! HOPE! YOU'RE! HUN-GRY!" She shouted with every shot. Seeing that her part of the plan was done, she looked back to see the cliff and leaped from Grimm's beak and rolled on the stones below.

The Grimm smashed chest first unto the cliff and fell to the ground with a heavy crash. With a screech, it managed to role on its feet and was about to take off to regain its advantage.

Weiss was skating over the stone and leaped up to Yang, the blonde kneeling with her hands down and palms up.

Yang grind as she felt the heiress' feet in her palms. "Need a lift?"

"Just throw me." The whitette groaned.

"Up you go!" With that, the Xiao Long flipped the heiress over her head and sent her flying.

Weiss felt the wind, but she was focused. Pulling out her rapier, she created a large snow white rotating glyph. She performed an aerial twirl and stabbed the tip of her weapon on the area just as the Nevermore was close to taking off, catching its tail in a cluster of jagged ice. She then did a back flip, avoiding a talon from impaling and used a white glyph to launch herself away.

Blake stood by a pillar and tossed her ribbon tied gun, the gunshot making it fly to the other pillar where Yang caught by the pillar across. The two pulled the ribbon taut. "Ruby! Weiss! The two shouted.

Ruby shot her way into action, landing herself on the cord and notched herself back.

Weiss was waiting for her partner a black glyph rotating and holding the younger female in place. "I'll admit. This is a rather interesting plan." She mused.

"Can you make the shot?" The silver eyed female as she replaced a full mag.

"If I can make the shot?" The heiress rolled her eyes. "Of course I can."

"Good." The young female cocked her weapon.

Weiss flicked her wrist as the glyph rotate rapidly. At the same time Ruby was shot from the cord like an arrow, a flurry of petals in her wake. She upped her speed as the Nevermore broke out of its hold and angled her blade to catch it around the neck, hefting its head upwards as her feet planted against the cliff. A row of black glyphs mixed with yellow appeared below her and she managed to glance back at Weiss that was focusing

"Aaaaaah!" She cried out loudly began to run up the cliff side, using her weapon and the glyphs to boost her up.

The rest of the group gathered and watched in fascination, awe, and shock as the small girl carried the large avian up the cliff as she wasted her clip.

Ruby reached the edge, pulled hard with one final shout along with a loud shot, the head was severed and rolled to the ground before her.

Jaune watched as the rest of the Nevermore fell to floor, its body breaking into black dust and gave a small prayer.

"That was AWSOME!" Nora cheered.

Nina sighed, glad that this was done.

Pyrrha patted her friend on the back, a smile gracing her face.

Sienna was impressed at how these young humans fought. She then felt herself stagger a bit before falling forward.

Jaune was quick to catch her and looked her over. "I guess time's up." He muttered.

"I suppose." She sighed. "I'll trust you for this moment, boy."

"I got promoted?" Blue eyes blinked in 'excitement'.

The woman actually had the energy to snort and her mechanized tail swayed lazily. "Keep it up, boy. I might end up calling you by name." She did not know why she even said that.

"I'll look forward to that." Jaune replied.

The woman sighed and allowed the exhaustion to hit her, her eyes closing as her breathing came to a calm rhythm.

The purple tipped blonde looked at the group as he held the women in a princess carry. "Well. Let's get this test done. This lady needs some medical attention."

As the group made their way to their destination, Blake couldn't help as she looked at the sleeping woman in the young man's arms.

'How are you alive, Sienna?' She wondered. 'Adam said that you were killed. He witnessed it.' She then narrowed her eyes in suspicion.'

"You okay, Blake?" Yang asked her partner.

"I'm fine." She replied instantly. "Just some things on my mind."

"I know, right?" Yang chirped. "To fight a Wendigo and a Nevermore in one day. And survive!"

The bow haired female shook her head. "From what Jaunse said, that Wendigo was young." She looked to the male's back. "He seems to know a lot."

"Guess I know who we'll be sitting next to when it come those types of classes." She grinned.

Blake glanced to the busty blonde. "Maybe you just want to sit next to him."

"And you don't?" Yang smiled.

Blake simply shook her head with an amused small smile on her face. "I will not say anything on that."

Yang could only laugh at that.

RDP

"Cardin Winchester, Russel Thrush, Dove Bronzewing, and Sky Lark. Please step forward." Ozpin said as he was standing on the podium with the four mentioned students stepping up.

"You have gained the black Rook piece. From now on you will be known as Team CaRDinaL. Led by, Cardin Winchester."

The audience clapped for the team that passed the initiation.

"Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos, and Nina Wang." Ozpin called out the group as they stepped up the podium. "You have acquired the gold rook pieces. Henceforth you will be known as Team JuNeNeW. Led by, Jaune Arc."

Jaune's eyes were wide at that. He suddenly blinked at that and Pyrrha hugged him.

"Good work, Jaune." Pyrrha complimented the blonde with a smile.

"Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long. You have acquired the golden knight pieces. Henceforth you will be known as team RWBY. Led by Ruby Rose."

Ruby gasps with wide eyes as her sister hugged her.

"I'm so damn proud." The blonde exclaimed in excitement.

The two newly named RWBY and JNNW were talking with each other.

"Mr. Arc." Ozpin called the male. "A moment of your time."

Jaune approached the male after making sure that he'll meet his team later to go to their appointed dorm room. "Is the Faunus lady okay?" He asked

The older man led the young male away by a few feet, the two teams still in sight. "She is well. I had Ms. Kumar look over since she understands Faunus more than I do despite my years of knowledge."

Jaune gave a good hearted chuckle. "Women are very complicated in both good and bad ways." He smiled.

Ozpin nodded, a small smile gracing his face. "I must admit that you were very strategic during the fight against the Wendigo." He praised.

"It was nothing really." Jaune rubbed the back of his head. "Had others watching my back."

"Very humble too." Ozpin took a sip of coco. "Now about the young woman, I would normally allow visitors during visiting hours, but I will make an acceptation for you, young man."

"Thank you sure." Jaune nodded in appreciation.

"It seems like your friends are waiting for you." He nodded at the seven females who were talking among themselves. "Have a good night, Mr. Arc." He nodded. "And congratulations."

"Goodnight, Mr. Ozpin." Jaune nodded. "And thank you." He walked to the group, Nora and Ruby cheering as he neared them.

"This will be an interesting school year." The man hummed as he walked away.

Nina stepped up to the male. "I wish to apologize to you of my actions and words yesterday." She gave a small bow as she palmed her left hand over her right fist. "I was quick to judge and after what Nora said and how you treated the female Faunus, I have seen that you are not like how I have misjudged you."

Jaune simply smiled, surprising the Chinese descend at how warm it was. "Water under the bridge."

RDP

A bullhead landed in Vale and the passengers filed out in an orderly fashion.

One person stood out like a sore thumb due to her unique hair color and style. She wears a white jacket with a pink interior, brown pants, and gray boots with very high heels. Under her jacket is a black corset that shows the shapes of her D-cup bust, her short statute making them seem rather bigger and was curved in the middle at the bottom, exposing her creamy hips. She also wears a multitude of necklaces, which hang haphazardly around her neck. 'Now where to find you.' Neo thought as she looked at the picture with Jaune on it, having hacked into Beacon's network frame to get more info of her target. 'He is very cute.' Her shoulders shook as she silently giggled. The small woman now making her way through the streets, her parasol swinging in her hand. Slowly, a grin creeped on her face. 'This is going to be fun."

RDP

Roman sighed as he took a puff of his cigar and stared at the woman with dull eyes. "How could you make a deal like that, Cinder?" He sighed.

"It had to be done." The woman replied with a wave of her hand. "Even if I have to use your personal stash to pay her off."

"Please don't touch my stash." The male grumbled. "I plan to make business." He muttered. "So what did the boss lady say about the Fangs?" The bowler hat man asked.

"I have not been able to contact her since meeting those young huntsmen with Glynda." She hummed. "Something must have happened that was of most importance to her. I did send her message after we sent Neo out."

RDP

"Hm…" A woman stood on a snow filled field. "So little brother had decided to go to Beacon despite what they do, hm?" The woman has silver hair that reaches to her lower back in a braided ponytail with a tuff of hair tied at the end while a few strands were over her forehead. Her left eye is red as the right one was concealed behind a black eyepatch with the red dragon on it. Her clothes are that of a General's apparel, a shirt that's opened enough to show a great deal of her G-cup cleavage with the black collars folded open, shin length black skirt and a white scarf around her neck, and high-heeled black boots. She has porcelain colored skin. Over her cleavage is a crimson red runic tattoo. Strapped to her back is a large war-club. Her right arm is wrapped in bandages and held a cigar between her fingers. She took a deep puff and sighed as the smog left her lips. "No matter." She rubbed the back of her head and patted her black hat before placing it on her head. Her brother always said that she looked cool with it and she was trying to inspire her youngest sister. "Let me see how my second in command is doing."

She chuckled and made her to sound of gunshots.
