Wow the poll for Yang and Peter is pretty strong, I expected some for the two but it's actually been overwhelmingly for the quipsters. There were some for Ruby though Yang is winning out right now.
So aside from that, had to do a few grammar tweaks and change Riders now from Jaimie to Robbie as it's supposed to be(My bad) and Also to a mister Dandaman5.
There will be blood come time to showoff both Rider and Punisher together. A whole fucking waterfall of it come time when those two unleash hell upon any and all unfortunate souls that come before them they deem dead meat.
But really, nothing needed to be said other than continuing the show.
But there is one thing I have seen and I could use some feedback. I have been getting reviews that state that Glynda and Steve could use some work so please, feel free to leave some suggestions if need be. It should be obvious by this point of the two pairing up considering what I have planned
Rate Read and Review and As Always Have Nice Day
Avenging Remnant Chapter 19: Initiation Day Hooray
To say that the air in Beacon Academy was palpable with excitement and nervousness would be an understatement.
None were more excited however than a preppy young girl waking up her closest friend in the whole wide world.
Blearily, he opened his eyes to the sight of his friend who was giving him a beaming smile.
"Wake up Sleepy head" Nora Valkyrie said cheerfully to her best friend Lie Ren
Groaning a bit, Ren sat up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes while his spunky friend was jumping all around him with an exuberant joy.
"It's morning, it's morning, it's morning" Nora chanted happily, Ren being completely unresponsive to her behavior being entirely used to it by this point.
He was brushing his teeth with Nora still chattering on and on animatedly about their first day here and how 'excited' she was in being here.
"I can't believe we've been in Beacon for an entire 24 hours!" Nora said with cheer "Not that I thought we'd get kicked out or anything. I mean, you're the perfect student and I'm…well I'm Me! But it's just crazy you know"
The scene switched over back to the ballroom where Ren was packing up their sleeping bags, Nora brushing her hair behind him still talking.
"We've been friends for Soooooooo long!" Nora said dramatically "What are the odds that we'd still be together? Well not "together-together"…Not that I'm not saying you're not handsome. You Are handsome, but that'd just be weird, right?"
Once again, the scene shifted to the two of them having breakfast with Nora having her mouth stuffed to the brim with pancakes. Ren remained entirely silent through all this.
"Right? What was I thinking? But still, I hope we end up on the same team together" Nora said through her muffled mouth before inhaling the rest of the pancakes in "OH! We should come up with some sort of plan to make sure we end up on the same team together. What if we bribe the headmaster? No that won't work, he has the school"
They were both now in the locker rooms, readying up for today's initiation.
Nora's trusted hammer was already strapped to her belt with Ren loading up his own weapon. All the while, Nora continued chattering.
"I've got it!" Nora said in an 'Ah-Ha' fashion "We'll have some sort of signal. Like a distress signal *GASP* A secret signal so we can find each other in the forest. Can you imitate a sloth?"
"Nora?" Ren at last responded with total calmness
"Yes Ren?" She asked
He gave her a serious look "I don't think sloths make a lot of noise"
Nora momentarily thought on his words.
"That's what makes its perfect" Nora declared with a grin "No one will suspect we're working together"
Ren could only chuckle at his friend's boundless enthusiasm.
"Come on Nora, let's go" Ren gestured
"Not 'together-together'" Nora finished, giggling once more.
Ren walked at a leisurely pace while Nora skipped ahead of him. They walked right past Yang and Ruby who had also just finished their preparation of Beacons first test.
"Wonder what those two are so worked up about?" Ruby said aloud
"Oh who knows" Yang waved off, nudging her sister afterwards "Though I've noticed you're awfully chipper this morning"
"Yep! No more awkward small talk or "getting-to-know-you" stuff" Ruby said happily, patting her scythe "Today, I get to let my sweetheart do the talking"
"Well, remember Ruby you're not the only one going through initiation" Yang pointed "If you wanna grow up, you're gonna have to meet new people and learn to work together"
"Urgh, you sound like Dad" Ruby groaned, rounding upon her sister "Okay first of all: what does meeting new people have to do with fighting? And secondly: I don't need people helping me grow up. I drink plenty of milk"
"But what about when the teams are formed?" Yang asked
"Oh, I uh….Well" Ruby stammered "I was thinking I'd just be on your team or something"
"Maybe you should try being on someone else's team" Yang suggested
"My dearest sister Yang, are you implying that you don't wish to be on a team with me?" Ruby haughtily asked
"What" Yang recoiled momentarily "No, no! Of course I do! I just thought that…well I don't know, being on another team may help in breaking you out of your shell"
"What the-? I don't need to 'break out of my shell'" Ruby said affronted "That's absolutely-"
"Ridiculous" Jaune Arc said aloud, passing by the two with Peter beside him "There's no way I put my gear in locker 636. I would've remembered having to count that high"
"Dude we put our stuff side by side, remember?" Peter said, pointing to a row of lockers up ahead "Come on they're over there"
"Petey" Yang said happily, grabbing Ruby's wrist and dragging her over "Wait up"
While the four gathered together, Pyrrha Nikos and Weiss Schnee were conversing with one another.
"So Pyrrha, have you given any thought as to what team you'd like to be on?" Weiss asked politely "I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such a strong, well known individual such as yourself"
"Hmmm" Pyrrha hummed "I'm not quite sure. I was thinking on just letting the chips fall into place"
"Well…" Weiss 'sensed' her opportunity "I was thinking maybe we could be on a team together"
"I think that sounds grand" Pyrrha said cordially
"Great!" Weiss said happily when suddenly, the background behind the heiress darkened with storm clouds forming around her and lightning crackled around her now manic smile.
'This is perfect!' Weiss thought with glee 'The Smartest girl in class paired with the strongest girl in class! Together we'll be unstoppable! I can see it now. Popular. Celebrities. Perfect grades! Nothing can come between us!'
As she finished that last thought, one Jaune Arc had a mishap with his shield again wherein it folded and unfolded repeatedly.
He finally caught it after shoving himself in between the two and letting out a sigh of relief.
"Oh man" Jaune groaned "That could have been worse"
"You again?" Weiss said in irritation "Do you have a tendency to make a fool out of yourself?"
"You alright their Jaune?" Peter asked, walking over to him
"Yeah, just gotta…" Jaune held up his weapon, scrutinizing it "I dunno, fix its screw or something"
"Excuse me" Weiss said haughtily, gaining their attention "Do you two have any idea who you just bumped into?"
"Uh…" Was Jaune and Peters response
"Weiss Schnee" The white haired girl introduced herself
"Um…" Jaune and Peter shared a look with each other with the latter shrugging
"I'm Jaune" Jaune introduced himself "Jaune Arc. And this is my buddy Peter"
"Hey there"
"Ugh" Weiss groaned in annoyance
"Hey, I overheard you guys were talking about teams or something like that" Peter spoke up, as he was a special case
"We're supposed to be in teams of 4" Pyrrha answered
"Oh great" Peter said appreciatively
"Thanks" Jaune said "And you are…?"
While the red heads smile grew to give off a friendly demeanor, the two failed to notice the look of momentary euphoria at the question itself. Though she needed to be sure.
"Pyrrha Nikos" She said "And you're Jaune and Peter, right?"
"Right" Peter confirmed with a thumbs up
"Excuse me you two" Weiss cut in "But do you two have any clue as to who it is you're speaking to?"
Once again, Jaune and Peter shared a look of utter confusion.
"Should we?" Jaune asked
"This is Pyrrha Nikos" Weiss emphasized
"Hello again" Pyrrha waved
"Ok…" Jaune said slowly, waving back
"Pyrrha graduated at the top of her class at Sanctum" Weiss added on
"Never heard of it" Jaune stated
"And our buddy Ruby got in 2 years ahead of us" Peter remarked, pointing behind him to the silver eyed girl
Weiss momentarily girt her teeth
"She won the Mistral tournament four years in a row" Weiss stated, as if it were the greatest achievement in the world "A new record!"
"Congratulations I guess?" Peter said unsure "Never really saw or heard of that"
"Me neither" Jaune said with a shrug
All the while, Pyrrha's smile continued grow more and more with each passing response the two gave to Weiss.
She had come here looking for a fresh start with new faces in hopes of no one recognizing her. And while there were many who no doubt knew her like Weiss here, finding these two who were clueless to her fame…this is exactly why she came to Beacon.
Weiss though, was not finished
"She's on the cover of Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flake Box" Weiss exclaimed
"That's you!" Jaune gasped in awe making Pyrrha giggle while Peter snorted "My little sisters love your cereal"
Pyrrha now laughed openly "Glad to know they're fans. Though it's not that healthy for you"
"So with all that now known, do you really think that either of you should be in a position of asking Pyrrha about teams?" Weiss scolded
"I guess not" Jaune hung his head in defeat "Sorry"
"Actually Jaune, I would love to be on your team" Pyrrha said, stepping forward "And I think you'd be a great leader"
"Doh" Jaune gushed "Stop it"
Peter shook his head in amusement.
"Seriously, stop it" Weiss demanded "This kind of behavior shouldn't be encouraged"
'Jeez, talk about entitled' Peter internally mused
"Well Pyrrha's all for team Jaune" Jaune said, uncaring of Weiss's word "And since I've got my new buddy Peter, I'll be part of a great team"
"Right" Peter said, slapping his friends back "Reach for the stars Jaune. Just make sure your shield works when you fall"
"Har har" Jaune deadpanned
"We'll see you at the initiation" Pyrrha said pleasantly, walking away with Weiss letting out a 'hmph', following after the Mistral champion.
"She's just a walking ray of sunshine" Peter dryly commented
"Least Pyrrha was nice" Jaune said
"Hey you two"
Jaune and Peter saw Ruby and Yang approach them, now fully prepared.
"You lady killers ready to rock and roll" Yang said with a flex of her arm, eyeing Peter momentarily "See you've still got on that Onesie. Like the stripes though, lot more web like"
"That was the idea" Peter idly said, pulling out devices.
He slapped both on his wrist which formed his web shooters, making him grin in appreciation at how far he's been able to advance them on his own since coming here in his short time here. He's gotta remind himself to thank Scott as well.
"Oh" Yang said "Aren't they those web thingies you use?"
"Yeah" Peter said proudly "Gone through some serious tune ups since our time at the bar"
"Bar?" Jaune said, clearly out of the loop
"Long story" Yang waved off
Peter was checking over his mask when Glynda Goodwitch's voice was heard from the intercom.
"Attention all first-year students, please make your way over to Beacon Cliff" Glynda instructed "I Repeat, all first-year students to Beacon Cliff for initiation"
"Let's get this show on the road" Yang exclaimed in excitement, arm thrown over Peter to take him along with her.
The web head blushed profusely at being pulled towards a girl like Yang in such a manner.
"Come on Jaune" Ruby said, a friendly pat on his shoulder
Jaune looked ahead and let out a shaky breath, moving to walk alongside Ruby.
Soon enough, the assembled students were now all lined up upon square tiles in front of Ozpin, Goodwitch, Steve and Sam.
"You all know why you're here" Steve started off "For years now, you have all honed your craft and continuously trained in hopes of getting into Beacon Academy"
"And now it is time to see the fruits of your labor and the first needed steps in achieving the ranks of Huntsmen and Huntresses" Glynda stepped forward "Everything you have learned up to this point will be tested and evaluated within the Emerald Forest"
"Listen up and listen well" Sam said in total seriousness "When you're in the forest, there will be Grimm. It's gonna be a free for all as soon as you all hit the ground. Be ready for anything"
"Speaking of being ready" Glynda continued on "There is a matter regarding the rumors of "assigning" teams. Well allow us to put an end to any of your questions and rumors. Your teams shall be assigned to you…Today"
Several of the students looked at each other warily while Ruby only groaned aloud.
"That being said" Ozpin spoke up "The person you make eye contact with upon your landings shall be your partner for all 4 years here"
All around Ruby, her perception of reality shattered into a million pieces.
"WHAAAT?!" Ruby yelled out, tears streaming down her face
"See? I told you" Nora said to Ren triumphantly
"After you have all been partnered, you are to make your way to the Northern end of the forest" Ozpin explained to the students "You will meet a great deal of opposition as stated by Mr. Wilson. Do not hesitate in fighting or you will Die"
The adults remained stony faced whilst students began to display clear instances of hesitation and nervousness.
"You will be monitored and graded throughout the duration of your time in the forest, but no instructor shall intervene" Oz said sternly "At the northern end is an old temple at the end of your path where you shall collect a relic. Each pair must collect one and return it to the top of the cliff. The relic is yours to guard, as well as your standing and grade you appropriately. Any questions?"
"Um Yes, sir?" Jaune shakily raised up his hand
"Good!" Ozpin said merrily "Now take your positions"
Steve gave Jaune an expectant look which made him fidget, looking back to Ozpin.
"Um Sir, one question" Jaune said, not noticing the fact that Weiss got launched beside him from her platform into the forest.
Peter, who did see this, was bug eyed at the method that they were being sent in.
Jumbling a bit with his mask, Peter saw that it was in working condition and slipped it on. The mask was now closely reminiscent to that of the suit Mr. Stark had given him with his eye pieces being more streamlined and better shaped for his head than their previous designs. His lenses narrowed and widened in a brief test run to see if it was working properly.
Jaune in the meantime…
"So this…landing strategy" Jaune stuttered "Are you g-gonna like drop us off or something…? Or?"
"No you will be falling" Ozpin said simply
"Oh…" Jaune said nervously, unaware of the other students being launched "So are you gonna be handing out parachutes or something or…?"
"Jaune" Peter said beside him
Jaune turned to Peter in time who was saluting him.
"Good luck buddy"
And then Peter was launched high into the air where Jaune spotted other students who were careening up above the forest.
"OH" Jaune realized, gently slamming his fist into his open palm.
Yang in the meantime placed on aviator shades and gave her sister a thumbs up before being flung herself with an accompanying 'WOOO' for good measure.
"Oh" Jaune slumped
"Hang in there kid" Sam said with joking encouragement
"Hang on to whaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Jaune wailed out, joining the rest of his classmates in their descent into the Emerald Forest
Steve only sighed, giving the headmaster a slightly withering stare.
"You were hoping something like that would happen, weren't you?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about" Ozpin denied, sipping his coffee
"That's one way to throw someone into the fire" Sam commented with a shrug
"If I recall, you were a para-rescue men, correct Mr. Wilson?" Glynda inquired
"It's just Sam, Glynda" Wilson said friendly "And yeah I've done my fair share of drops though mostly with the wingsuit"
"Any ideas on how they'll all land?" Ozpin asked
"They're super kids" Sam waved off "They'll think of something"
Scene cut
The emerald forest was relatively calm all things considered.
A bird gently drifted up above the forest canopy.
And then promptly, it's life was snuffed out by a flying Ruby Rose.
"BIRDIE NO" Ruby cried out
Quickly maneuvering herself, she fired her crescent rose in a rapid fashion which slowed down her fall allowing her the time to shift her weapon into scythe mode and catch a tree branch for .
Weiss utilized her glyphs as platforms to allow a safe landing.
Lie Ren brought out both weapons and slammed them both into a thick trunk, spiraling down to the ground.
Up above, Yang let out a cry of pure excitement and adrenaline using her gauntlets to fire off large shots to make her go even faster. She crashed through some branches but kept going completely undeterred, using the tree trunks to jump about before landing on the ground.
Pyrrha had used her shield to slam through several branches before landing on one, switching to her rifle. Through her scope, she spotted Jaune who was still falling in the air. shifting into a stance poised for a throw, her gun changed into a spear and she lined up her thumb with her sight. Evaluating the trajectory, Pyrrha threw her spear with all of her might towards Jaune.
The spear sailed into the green until….
*THUNK*
"Thank you" Jaune's voice echoed out
"Sorry" Pyrrha said, jumping down afterwards.
Last but not least was Peter Parker himself who waited for the right moment before he fired two web lines, snagging onto branches. Falling forward, Peter rocketed to the ground when he jolted to a stop. The webs would have launched him back up into the air had he not casually let go of them and landed gracefully.
"Whew" Peter patted himself down, brushing off some leaves and twigs "That's one way to start off an initiation"
Looking around, Peter saw that he was currently alone and it seemed there was probably nobody next to him. As planned, since the Avengers had already told him about his case.
"Man" Peter said, rubbing the top of his head "First Mr. Stark now Captain Rogers and his team…what've I gotten myself in to"
He began walking forward, taking the time to check his equipment to make sure they were still functioning properly. Pocketing several small spheres, Peter pulled out a small black bag and turned it upside down. The contents spilled out into his other open hand and he held it up to examine them.
The four spherical objects were those density matter shifting tools that Adrian Toomes and his crew had utilized during their many heists for alien and other advanced technology. Whoever had tinkered with this was a damn genius as the use of these little devices were easy.
He remembered him and Scott testing to see if they had still worked and were pleasantly surprised that they did, flawlessly.
So long as all four were aligned with one another in a four angled fashion, it worked like a charm.
Peter wanted to expand on this but figured that at the time of his adjustment to this world, it would be better to focus on his own suit and equipment.
Just as he put away the little doo-hickeys, that familiar tingling sensation from the back of his head went off.
It then screamed at him to move his ass.
"WHAAA" Peter jumped forward in time to avoid the large black figure that fell from above to stomp him down into the ground.
Tumbling and righting himself into a crouch with one hand raised, Spider-man looked up to see that it was one of those Grimm creatures he had read up on.
"Beowolf" Peter murmured, recognizing the variant
That strange warning sense rang out again and soon Spider-man was surrounded by a pack of Beowolves, all of whom were waiting to strike him down.
Seeing that he was surrounded, Peter had only this to say.
"Typical Parker Luck"
Scene Cut
Ruby was running through the forest with only one thought on her mind.
'Gotta find Yang' Ruby repeated internally, not slowing down in the slightest
"YANG" Ruby called out, hoping she would hear "YaaaAANG"
Several mental images ran through the scythe wielders head, picturing various individuals she figured she would partnered with.
'I need to find Yang' Ruby thought to herself, visualizing herself and her sister in chibi form 'Oh this is bad! Really, really bad! What if I can't find her? Oh no! What if someone already partnered with her?!'
'Well there's Jaune' ruby thought, Chibi Jaune appearing beside her 'He's nice. He's funny! I don't think he's very good in a fight though'
Chibi Blake then appeared
'There's Blake' Ruby pictured her 'So mysterious, so calm. Plus she likes books. Though getting a conversation going is challenge in it of itself'
'Peter!' Chibi Peter was now imagined beside here 'I bet he'd be a great partner! He's already fought alongside Yang and he's really strong from what she said. So there's Yang, Blake, Jaune, Peter and….'
Ruby skidded to a halt abruptly as time seemed to grind to a momentary halt. In front of her was a familiar set of white hair and eyes as Weiss turned to face Ruby. Their eyes meet with a pregnant pause ensuing afterwards. A silence befell the two with Ruby having a small smile grow upon which fell when Weiss turned heel and walked away.
"Wait! Where are you going?!" Ruby called out desperately before dejectedly kicking the ground "We're supposed to be partners"
Weiss wandered through the forests bushes and thickets, letting out a few grunts of annoyance at having to deal with the plant life when from above she heard grunting.
Glancing up, she saw Jaune Arc stuck to a tree via a red and gold spear through his hood. He was struggling to free himself from the spear. The blond then felt eyes on him and glanced down to see Weiss staring back up at him. He gave her a weak chuckle and wave.
Wordlessly, Weiss turns back and walks over to Ruby. She grabbed her by the hood and dragged her off.
"By no means does this make us friends" Weiss declared sternly
Ruby on the other hand was just overjoyed "You came back"
"Wait" Jaune called out, dejectedly "Who's going to get me down from here?"
"Jaune?"
Blinking, Jaune looked down again and saw Pyrrha had arrived.
"I'm wondering if there's any spots left on your team?" She asked politely
"Very funny" Jaune said in false irritation, crossing his arms and looking away.
A second later, he couldn't help the smile and appreciation towards his new partner who returned the gesture.
Back with Ruby and Weiss, the young heiress walked considerably ahead of her new partner with the young Rose jogging to catch up.
"What's the Hurry?" Ruby inquired
"I will not have my mission be delayed by you being slow" Weiss huffed, moving ahead once again "I swear if I get a bad grade because of…"
Weiss was promptly cut off by Ruby appearing suddenly by her side, startling her.
"No worries about speed" Ruby boasted "I'm pretty fast"
"What the…?" Weiss glanced back and forth to Ruby and behind her "When did you…?"
"Weiss, just because I don't know how to socialize or deal with people doesn't mean I can't handle myself with some monsters" Ruby then threw her arm around Weiss's shoulder "You're about to see a whole 'nother side to me and by the end you'll be like 'Wow! That Ruby girl is really, really cool and I wanna be her friend'"
She ends it by flying off in a flurry of rose petals, making Weiss cough and wave off the petals.
"You may be fast but you still excel at wasting time" Weiss called out to her.
There was no response.
"Ruby?"
Weiss walked forward to some bushes only to be met with glowing red eyes.
"Ruby?" Weiss says again only this time with a tentative step back.
All around her, Beowolves began creeping out from the trees, bushes and other shrubbery in order to completely surround the heiress who was now in state of panic.
"RUBY!"
A Large Beowolf jumped forward with its intended target ducking in time.
"Yeesh those are some sharp teeth" Spider-man commented, rapidly firing web globs at the Grimm's eyes in order to blind side them.
Not waiting for a response to his actions, Peter fired two strands at a nearby fallen tree trunk he spotted and with his super strength swung it around like a wrecking ball. The large piece of wood smashed into a cluster of wolves, effectively killing off several but the larger ones survived.
They roared in agony and rage, scratching the webbing off their faces and facing Peter once more.
"I'm thinking I should have slept in today" Peter bemoaned to himself, that familiar danger sense screaming to jump.
He reflexively leapt high into the air with a back flip to dodge the giant Ursa Major that popped out from behind him.
"Pooh bear?" Spider-man exclaimed in false shock "What on earth happened to you? Haven't you heard you're supposed to say no to steroids and drugs?"
The Ursa only roared in bloodlust back at Peter who was now sticking to a tree, shaking his head in disappointment.
"Guess not" Peter quipped "Blood over honey. They sure grow up weird sometimes"
Leaping off from the tree, Spider-man dive right at the Ursa who reared back up on its hind legs.
It made for a swipe at him which he expertly dodged by bending his body in a manner that would make any gymnast jealous right over its arm and landed a direct kick to the jaw.
He didn't have time to make any snappy remarks as the other Beowolves had recovered and were now on the attack once more.
"Whoa!" Peter yelled out, jumping away from the Ursa in time leaving it to be impaled and clawed at by its fellow Grimm.
"That's…pretty brutal" Spider-man remarked, grimacing at the gruesome way the Ursa died.
The other Grimm however remained unperturbed by their kin killing, already getting ready to pounce on Peter.
Just as they did, Spider-man rapidly fired off webbing in a distinct way that basically netted the Beowolves all the while yelling out…
"ZA WARUDO"
The Beowolves fell to the ground, writhing in an attempt to free themselves.
"Wait" Peter said "That's when time stops. Right, right, I caught you with webbing instead"
Spider-man contemplated momentarily
"So does that make it more along with Jolyne? Yare Yare Daze, no, wait that's Jotaro" Peter rectified "It's Yare Yare Dawa, yeah that's the one"
The Beowolves roared out again only for them to be effectively silenced by Spidey's webbing.
"Best to get a move on" Peter murmured to himself, breaking into a sprint in order to get some momentum going, transitioning to web swinging.
In another part of the forest, Yang Xiao-Long walked alone.
"HELLOOOO~" Yang called out to anyone that could be nearby "ANYONE OUT THERE. I'M GETTING BORED"
The rustling of nearby bushed draws her attention.
"Hello?" Yang said again, approaching the greenery "Anyone there?"
She peaked through the bush
"Ruby? That you sis?"
What she got was a large black plated figure. The figure being an Ursa.
"Nope" Yang said simply
Yang rolled to the side in time as the Grimm charged out from the green. She cocked her arms and brought out Ember Celica and got into her stance before when an Ursa from behind appeared.
She jumps over the Ursa when the one she first encountered ran at her only to be met with a fiery fist to the face, sending it back. The other Ursa attacked once more.
Yang ran forward and slid underneath the beast to deliver a series of punches and kicks to send the Ursa flying back.
"You guys wouldn't happen to have seen a girl in a red hood? Yang asked casually
The Ursa's only roar in response.
"Geez, you could've just said no" Yang rolled her eyes, moving back to avoid the swipes one of the Ursas made at her
She laughed at the failed attempt
"Man, you guys couldn't even hit the broad side of a ba…"
Yang fell silent upon seeing one single strand of her golden hair fall to the ground.
She stared in absolute shock, slowly raising her head with her eyes flaring into a deadly red color.
"You…" She seethed when her power and aura exploded around her "You MONSTERS!"
Yang rocketed forward and unleashed a slew of blows and hits upon the offending Ursa, a final punch sending it careening into several trees.
The remaining Ursa roared out in defiance with the blond rounding on it.
"What?" She challengingly growled "YOU WANT SOME TOO?!"
The bear like Grimm reared up on its hind legs in an effort to attack when an unusual whirring sound was heard. The Ursa tilted its head in confusion at the sound before jolting violently. It collapsed dead on the ground to reveal Blake Belladonna recalling her weapon and sheathed it.
She gave Yang a friendly smile.
Taking a moment to catch her breath, Yang straightened herself out and jokingly puffed her cheeks out.
"I could've taken him you know?" Yang said to her new partner
"I don't deny that you can" Blake remarked making Yang grin
Scene cut
Weiss Schnee held up her weapon Myrtenaster to deflect the claw strike from a Beowolf. The blow however was enough to knock her back into the middle of the circle of Grimm.
Undeterred, Weiss got into position and adjusted her revolving dust vials on her weapon.
"Remember your training Weiss" She spoke to herself "Head up, shoulders back, right foot for-not that forward-slow your breathing and wait for the right moment to strike"
One Grimm ran right at her
"NOW"
Weiss readied her attack and dashed forward at her target when suddenly Ruby appeared and swiped at it.
Weiss now panicked and desperately attempted to slow down. She re-directed her attack in another direction resulting in a trail of fire leading to an unfortunate tree being incinerated.
Ruby cringes at Weiss's slip up which proved to be a mistake as she barely managed to defend herself from the Grimm wolf that she attacked.
She was knocked back into her new partner.
"Hey" Ruby complained "Watch it!"
"Excuse me?" Weiss said indignantly "You attacked out of turn. I could have killed you!"
"It'll take a lot more than that" Ruby murmured as the duo held up their weapons.
Before anyone could make a move, a flaming tree fell in front of the two with Weiss taking the opportunity to make a hasty retreat.
The Grimm also ran off, not wanting to set on fire.
Weiss lead Ruby away from the fire with two having gained enough distance for a momentary breather.
"What was that?!" Ruby exclaimed "That should have been totally easy"
"It would have had you not rushed in bull headed and caused me to set the forest on fire!' Weiss countered angrily
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ruby scoffed
"For someone with a blabber mouth as big as yours, I am honestly stunned by the level of miscommunication you display" Weiss said irritably
"Well, I'm sorry you need help during a fight" Ruby shot back "I can handle myself just fine, thank you"
"Congratulations then" Weiss sneered "You turned out to be strong enough to cheat your way into Beacon"
With that final word, Weiss about faced and stormed off.
Ruby was steaming at those words, bringing out her Crescent Rose and swiping at a tree, placing her weapon on her back after.
Said tree fell down, showing a clean cut with a large black feather floating down completely unnoticed by the dysfunctional partners.
Elsewhere, Lie Ren had trudged through the forest without much trouble.
However his luck ran out as a King Taijitu had risen up from the tall grass behind him and used its large body to surround him.
Not bothered by the appearance of the Grimm, Ren narrowed his eyes whilst getting into a stance as the Taijitu lunged at him. Flipping away, Ren pulled out his weapons, rapidly firing at the giant snake who was relatively unharmed from the gunfire.
The snake like Grimm tried chomping at Ren repeatedly which failed due to Ren's expert dodging maneuvers.
Performing a graceful flip over the Taijitu's bite, he landed on its head and impaled it with his Storm Flower.
He paused momentarily, sensing movement from behind. He whirled round to see the white head of the Grimm attacking him.
Jumping away, Ren skid a stop upon seeing both snakes facing him.
Face scrunching up in determination, Ren ran at the two which in turn slithered forward.
With a jump, he landed and ran upon the black Taijitu's body firing his weapon when the white one managed to weave around its counterpart and strike Ren hard enough to make him lose his grasp on his weapons.
Landing hard, Ren raised his head up to see the black Taijitu charging right at him with its mouth open.
Channeling his aura to his hands, Ren stopped the creature in time by holding back its fangs. A momentary struggle ensued which ended with Ren breaking off the fangs of the Grimm.
The snake roared in pain at the loss of its teeth and went in for the kill once more.
With the new makeshift weapon in hand, Ren spun round and stabbed the tooth into the Taijitu's eye.
Inhaling and exhaling steadily, Ren hands glowed an unusual color of purple and yellow. With a palm thrust, Ren channeled his energy into the tooth which caused the Grimm's head to ripple and contort until finally blowing up in a spectacular display of his powers.
He saw the other white snake was coiling for an attack and without hesitation, ran at the last Grimm.
After a brief scuffle, Ren recreated the last attack he had used and killed the white headed snake soon after.
Taking a moment to dust himself off, Ren heard an unusual animal sound from above and looked up to see the upside down face of Nora Valkyrie.
"I still don't think that's the sound a sloth makes" Ren said good naturedly
Nora simply smiled and gave her friend a happy 'boop' on the nose causing him to smile as well.
Back up on the cliffs, the four adults continued their observations of the initiation.
"And that makes the last of the pairings" Glynda announced "Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie. Poor boy, I can't possibly imagine how he could get along with her"
"From the looks of things they seem to know each other" Steve pointed out "So not much to worry about for those two"
"Perhaps" Glynda said "Though I am more concerned with that Jaune boy being partnered with Pyrrha Nikos"
She swiped on her pad to bring up the two trudging through the forest.
"I don't care what either of you say" Glynda said to Steve and Ozpin "Those credentials don't hide the fact that he's not ready for this kind of combat"
"Are any of them really?" Sam asked
Glynda only shook her head in response, returning her attention to the exam.
"Well at any rate, most should be nearing the temple" Glynda observed "I have been meaning to ask. What sort of Relic did you choose this year, Ozpin?"
She received no response.
"Professor Ozpin?" Glynda said again only to be met with silence once more as the Headmaster was holding up his own Scroll pad.
On it were several screens displaying the partnered teams and the lone vigilante. He focused on one in particular at the moment.
Ruby sat upon the floor with Weiss all the while walking back and forth in random directions
"It's this way" Weiss declared before stopping and turning in the other direction "Wait no, it's this way! Or is that way? That way? Alright, it's official: We passed it"
Ruby stands up, clearly annoyed by Weiss's behavior
"Weiss, why can't you just admit that we're lost and we have no idea where we're going"
"I know exactly where we're going" Weiss said affronted "We're going…to…the temple!"
"Yeah, that's pretty obvious" Ruby said, rolling her eyes "But do you know where we're going?"
"Umm…"
Ruby sighed making Weiss glare at her
"Oh stop it" Weiss argued "You don't know where we are either"
"At least I'm not pretending to" Ruby countered "I'm not pretending to know everything!"
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Weiss said challengingly
"It means you're a big stupid jerk and I hate you" Ruby declared childishly
Weiss only sighed, rubbing the sides of her head.
"Just… Just keep moving" Weiss said, choosing a direction to walk
"Oh I'm Weiss, and I know everything. Watch where you're going. Waa, Waa, Waa" Ruby imitated "Why are you so bossy?"
"I'm not bossy" Weiss said…bossily "Stop saying things like that"
"Stop treating me like a kid"
"Then stop acting like one"
"Well, stop acting like you're perfect"
"I'm. Not. Perfect" Weiss said pointedly "Not yet at least. And leagues above your skill"
Ruby was now slightly hurt by those words
"You don't even know me…" She murmured
With Yang and Blake
The two had stepped out of the forest and into a clearing of an old stone temple that was run down and in ruin. They saw a circular area with small platforms with some empty while others had chess pieces.
"Must be the place" Yang said with Blake nodding.
The secret Faunus slid down the hill they stood upon, Yang right behind her. They both took a moment to take in the relics.
"Chess pieces?" Blake said in confusion, staring at a king piece
"Some of them are missing" Yang observed "Others must have already passed through here"
"Guess we need to pic one then"
"How about a cute little pony?" Yang suggested, holding up a golden Knight
"Sure" Blake said with a smile with the two now going down the temple floor
"That wasn't so hard" Yang noted
"Not like this place is too hard to find" Blake said
"True" Yang nodded "Still though, makes me wonder if we got lucky in comparison to…"
"INCOMING"
Both girls whirled around in time to see Spider-man jumping out from the top canopy of the close by trees with a pack of Beowolves in hot pursuit.
Twirling around in mid-air, Peter pulled out two tiny golf ball sized spheres and threw them at the Grimm. Upon impacting the Grimm, the spheres exploded with giant spiders web catching Spidey's pursuers.
"Test successful" Spider-man whooped, firing another web at them. With his fall, Spider-man pulled at the struggling Grimm trapped by his webbing and flipped around, arms raised above his head.
The momentum of the fall coupled with his own added super strength swing effectively killed the Pack of Grimm wolves upon impact to the ground. Spider-man landed gracefully behind them, jumping back up.
"Whew" Peter removed his mask to wipe the sweat from his forehead "That was a workout"
"Petey" Yang exclaimed happily, appearing beside him and throwing her arm around his shoulder "Man, am I glad to see another friendly face. Nice entrance by the way"
"H-hey Yang" Peter stammered momentarily, blushing at the contact "Good to see you're ok to"
"Those were some sick moves there Peter" Yang continued to praise
"Very impressive" Blake complimented, making herself known to Peter
"Oh hey" Peter's face displayed recognition, snapping his fingers "You…uh you're…."
"We didn't properly introduce ourselves from last time" Blake said expectantly "I'm Blake Belladonna, Yang's new Partner"
"Peter" Spidey introduced himself "Peter Parker"
"So Pete" Yang spoke up "Find a partner yet? See Ruby anywhere?"
"Uh…" Peter felt a bit out of place for the moment, realizing he doesn't have and w ill not get a partner for this test "Haven't found one yet. And as for Ruby I haven't seen her since…"
"HEADS UUUUUPPP" A yell from above cut Peter off
The trio on the ground whipped their heads up to see Ruby Rose free Falling in the air towards them.
Peters eyes widened exponentially and without hesitating, jumped as high as he could in the air which was of considerable height thanks to his super strength.
As soon as he was within range of reaching out to grab Ruby, that sixth sense of his went off slightly.
The sound of yelling and crashing permeated the area with one Jaune arc being flung out from the surrounding forest right into Ruby and Peter.
They crashed into a tree that Yang and Blake were standing by, all the while observing in silence.
Ruby groaned, rubbing her head when she heard her name being called. Blinking, she glanced up to see Peter and Jaune in the same tree with her.
"Hey Ruby" They both greeted
"Hey guys" Ruby said weakly, though smiling at seeing her new friends
"Did your sister just fall out of the sky?" Blake asked Yang
Yang opened her mouth to answer when crashing sounds were heard from the side.
In came an Ursa, roaring in rage and bloodlust only for it be silenced by pink flashes that struck its back. It keeled over dead, revealing Nora Valkyrie riding atop it. Or was at the very least, a problem Nora made all too aware of.
"Ah man" Nora said in dramatic sorrow "I think I broke it"
"Nora" An out of breath Ren ran out from behind, panting with his hands on his knees "Don't do that *PANT* again"
Looking up, Ren only saw a pink dotted outline of where his friend once stood. He looked around frantically for her, finding the wild girl at the circular area of the temple and picking up a golden Rook.
"I'm Queen of the castle, I'm queen of the castle" Nora chanted happily beside Yang and Blake who had yet to move from their spots since they were too busy watching one spectacular entrance after another.
"Nora" Ren called out to her making the hyperactive hammer swinger pause and skip back over to her friend
"And she rode in on an Ursa" Blake idly observed
Yang wanted to respond but the sound of roaring and more crashing echoed across the area.
Out came Pyrrha Nikos running from a giant Grimm Deathstalker who was jabbing its pincers repeatedly at the red head in hopes of catching her.
"Jaune" She cried out
"Pyrrha" Jaune yelled in turn
"Come on" Peter gestured, leaping to swing forward and assist Pyrrha.
Jaune unsheathed his blade and with Ruby jumped out from the tree.
Ruby landed in a roll and stood up next to her sister.
"Ruby!"
"YANG!"
"NORA" Nora appeared between the two, throwing them off balance.
Jaune and Peter in the meantime ignored the reunion in favor of helping out Pyrrha.
Once they were close enough, Peter yelled at Jaune to dive forward.
Firing a large glob of webbing, Spidey effectively blinded the Deathstalker. It swung around its pincers and tail wildly in an effort to both remove the sticky substance from its eyes(Disgusting) and try to finish off its intended prey.
Jaune managed to tackle Pyrrha to the ground in time just as she was nearly skewered by the tail.
The Deathstalker ran at full force into a large boulder, crashing its head against the rock, knocking itself out in the process.
"Whew" Jaune sighed out, helping Pyrrha up to her feet
"Looks we're even from earlier Jaune" Pyrrha said with a smile
"Heh" Jaune rubbed the back of his head bashfully "You kinda did a lot for me already Pyrrha. Still think I owe you more"
"Can I speak now" Yang growled out, eyes flashing red "Or is something gonna interrupt me?"
Everyone looked to the blond when Ruby glanced back up and tugged on her sisters wrist.
"Uh Yang" Ruby pointed up making all heads turn into that direction to see Weiss Schnee desperately clinging onto the talon of a giant Nevermore.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LEFT ME UP HERE" Weiss cried out in fear and disbelief
"I TOLD YOU TO JUMP" Ruby yelled back
"You know she's gonna fall" Blake stated
"She'll be fine" Ruby waved off
"She's falling" Ren deadpanned
"I got her" Spider-man declared, jumping up high into the air.
"Whoa" Nora gasped, eyes wide with stars "He's like a plumber with those jumps"
The group of teens stared at Nora in bewilderment.
"What?"
Spider-man caught Weiss bridal-style, grunting a bit at the impact.
"Hey Ice Queen, nice of ya to drop in" Peter quipped
"You?!" Weiss screeched, making Peter wince "Ugh from what childish brat to another"
"Aren't we like the same age?" Peter shot back
Whatever Weiss had ready in response was promptly cut off by the pull of gravity bringing them back down. Upon realizing they were falling still, Weiss let out a small scream and held onto Peter for dear life.
There was a rough jolt and all was still.
Weiss had her eyes firmly shut tight, gripping Spider-man with no sign of letting go.
"Uh…Weiss?" Ruby's voice said beside her
Cracking an eye open, Weiss glanced over to see her new partner as well as the other assembled teens staring at her.
"You can let go now" Ruby said
Blinking, Weiss saw that they were back on the ground completely unharmed with Peter still holding her bridal-style and her arms firmly around his neck.
"…"
"Unhand me you couth Ruffian!" Weiss said indignantly, scrambling to get off of Peter
"Well looks like the gang's all here" Yang dryly remarked, the cawing of the Nevermore being heard overhead "We can all die together then"
"Well the current objective is to retrieve the relics and make our way back to the cliffs" Ruby recited, recalling why they are here "And they're dead ahead"
"Hang on a second" Yang said "Aren't we forgetting something here?"
"What?" Several members of the gang asked
"Peter" Yang gestured to the web head "He doesn't have a partner. Isn't having a partner important for this situation?"
"You're right" Jaune agreed with a nod
Peter was about to respond when the rumbling of rocks and plated limbs were heard. Everyone turned to see that the Deathstalker was coming to and the webbing no longer covered its eyes.
"Great question Jaune" Peter said hurriedly, slipping his mask back on "One we can answer for later"
"Right" Jaune nodded rapidly, him, Peter and Ruby running over to grab a relic
Ruby grabbed a golden knight piece like her sister did whilst Jaune claimed a similar golden Rook as Nora did earlier. Peter however claimed a black king and with that out of the way, the group of 9 broke into a sprint towards the cliffs.
It didn't take long for them to hear the rumbling of the ground, a sign that the Deathstalker was chasing after them.
Up ahead, they spotted an abandoned series of stone structures with a bridge leading over to the other side.
As they drew closer, the Nevermore dive bombed them forcing them to scatter for cover.
*THWIP*
Peter instinctively fired a web line and upon realizing what he did, his lenses widened to their full size.
"Uh oh" He said in a small voice before being yanked high into the air by the flying Grimm
"WHAAA" Spider-man yelled out, eyes facing the ground due to how high he was getting "HOMECOMING NIGHT ALL OVER AGAIN"
"PETER" Yang cried out in concern
"Guys" Jaune yelled out
They turned to see the Deathstalker was now charging at them.
"Help out Peter" Pyrrha called out to Ruby and Yang "We'll take care of him"
"Us?" Jaune squeaked, crying out in a panic as he narrowly avoided the pincer that swung at him and destroyed the rock he used as cover.
"Guys" Ruby called out to Blake, Yang and Weiss "Come on, Peter needs our help up there"
"Right" Yang nodded with the four girls now breaking into a run to chase after the Nevermore who was now circling the area.
Spider-man was slowly climbing his way up the line, grabbing onto one of the Nevermores feathers. Unfortunately, due to his strength, he pulled out some of its feathers making the giant bird cry out in pain. It began bucking about wildly in an effort to get him off.
This only served for Peter to frantically climb onto the bird as quick as he possibly can. He clung to its lower back and began moving forward, his grip tight whilst the Nevermore flew about wildly.
"Spider powers don't let me down now" Peter whispered to himself, moving further up the body.
Down below, the rest of the gang was running towards the ruined structure with Nora, Ren, Pyrrha and Blake making quick attacks against the Deathstalker in hopes of holding it back.
"That armor is to thick" Jaune called out "Get across the bridge, it can't follow us there"
"Bird, 12 o'clock" Ruby yelled out
The Nevermore had found the top of a pillar as a perch to utilize in unleashing a barrage of razor sharp feathers upon the youngsters.
Nora pulled out her weapon and began firing rockets with pink hearts upon the noses, nailing a direct hit in the face.
Stunned by the attack, Peter capitalized on this by running up its back and flipping over the head.
Firing webbing that blinded the Grimm, Peter grabbed onto the web lines and fell down to the ground. With all of his strength that he could muster Peter managed to pull the Nevermore down to him and with well-placed timing delivered a swift uppercut to its jaw.
"WOOHOO" Yang cheered, using her gauntlets to launch herself forward "MY TURN"
She landed a double fist shotgun fueled smash directly into its face, cracking the plating on its head.
It cried out once more, taking to the skies with the gust of wind blowing back Peter and Yang.
On the other side of the bridge, the others had managed to get away from the Deathstalker who recognized that it was too big to cross lest it risked collapsing the structure.
"Fortunately" the Deathstalker didn't need to take action as the Nevermore circled around the old temple and bashed its head into the bridge the teens were running on.
Ren and Blake fell to the abyss below…
*THWIP THWIP*
Only to be caught quickly by Spider-man's webs as he jumped down to save them.
Unfortunately, the nevermore commenced an attack on Peter.
Unable to maneuver properly without risking him dropping the two, Spidey readied himself to take a hit.
Thankfully however, a blaze of gunfire from Yang, Ruby and Pyrrha distracted the nevermore enough for Spider-man pull himself, Ren and Blake back up to ground level.
The three of them were back on the ground, panting to catch their breath when.
"Nice of you to join me"
They looked up and saw Pyrrha on one knee, weapon in gun mode and shield up. They turned to see the Deathstalker right in front of them, swiping to try a get one of them.
"Really got work on that landing" Peter remarked lamely
Back on the other side, Ruby with Yang and Weiss fired everything they had at the Nevermore.
Jaune on the other hand saw the others were facing off against the Deathstalker who was a more immediate threat at the moment.
"We need to get over there and help" Jaune said determinedly
"Let's do this" Nora declared beside him
"Yeah, but I can't make that jump" Jaune declared
Nora only grinned diabolically, knocking him back with her weapon and shifted it into her hammer mode. Jaune sat up in time and realized what Nora was about to do as she ran and jumped off the edge with her hammer raised.
"WAIT" Jaune cried out in vain
Nora smashed her hammer down onto the bridge, launching Jaune across the gap. Twirling her hammer, she planted one foot on her weapon and pressed her trigger. An explosive burst sent her forward to the Deathstalker.
Flipping around, she bashed her hammer into the head of the Deathstalker and let off another explosion again in time to dodge its stinger.
Nora's retreat inadvertently caused her to bump into Blake and she once again fell to the abyss.
"NO" Peter cried out.
But he could do nothing as that sense of his blared out once more and he was grabbed by one of the Deathstalkers pincers.
"PETER" Jaune yelled out, gritting his teeth in anger
He recklessly ran forward and successfully slashed at several of the Deathstalkers eyes.
Jaune was then swatted aside violently by the other pincer.
"JAUNE" Pyrrha cried out, shifting her gun into spear mode and threw it at the Grimm.
The back let out a bang which accelerated its speed and velocity, impaling the Deathstalker. The pain overwhelmed the Grimm at that moment which allowed Peter to escape its clutches.
Ren fired Storm Flower at the Deathstalker, specifically targeting the base of its stinger. The tail thrashed about making Ren jump into the air and land next to the others.
Jaune, who had recovered by this point, was back on his feet eyeing the hanging stinger.
"Pyrrha" Jaune called out to her "The stinger"
"Got it" Pyrrha said, throwing her shield at the stinger.
Her shield managed to cut through the stinger but unfortunately for them, the Deathstalker was moving backwards to gain some distance from them. The stinger only managed to graze the front portion of his head.
"Well that failed" Nora commented
"Then we'll have to improvise" Ren said
"Ren, Nora" Jaune called out, twirling his sword into a back hand grip "Keep it distracted. Pyrrha get ready and Peter, try immobilize it"
"On it" Peter ran forward with Ren and Nora running around in circles and firing at the Grimm.
The Deathstalker was now in full frantic mode as it waved around at anyone and everyone it could spot within its range.
Pyrrha was ducking and weaving around, working in tandem with Jaune as they both continuously used their shields to cover one another from attack.
Peter was leaping about, constantly firing webbing at the Deathstalker having successfully bound its pincers shut. He had tried to hold it down but it seemed that the Grimm was on some kind of adrenaline rush making it difficult to hold it down.
Spider-man stared at the Deathstalker before slapping his head.
"Gah, such an idiot" Peter chastised himself "Jaune, Pyrrha, make some room"
The two looked back to see Peter winding up and throwing a small black sphere at the Deathstalker.
Upon hitting the Grimm, a web net exploded, effectively keeping it trapped though it seemed for only a temporary moment.
Jaune's eyes widened at seeing their chance and wasn't gonna pass up on it.
"NOW PYRRHA"
Both ran forward and jumped into the air with their swords raised up above their heads. Together, they impaled the head of the Deathstalker, Jaune facing Nora.
"Nora" He called out to her
"Mind giving me a lift?" Nora said, running towards him
Wordlessly, he raised his shield as a launch platform. Synching at the right time, Jaune pushes upwards while Nora used her own strength to propel herself high into the air. she sat upon the handle of her hammer, laughing happily until she began falling back down. Performing some flips to add momentum, Nora struck both Pyrrha's and Jaunes swords with explosive power quite literally killing it upon impact.
The Deathstalker slumped down, unmoving with black wisps exuding from its body signaling that it was truly well and dead.
Jaune let out a relieved sigh until the sound of cawing was heard.
The five teens looked over to see Ruby, Yang, Weiss and thankfully Blake all firing their weapons at the giant Nevermore that was barreling right towards them.
"They need help" Ren said aloud
"But we can't reach there" Jaune said frustratingly "Even with Nora's hammer"
"Maybe I can" Spider-man said and with no hesitation ran forward, ignoring the cries of his new friends.
Just as he ran forward, the Nevermore crashed through the tower the girls stood upon sending them falling down.
Peter sped up and jumped forward, using the falling rocks as places to fire his webbings and pull himself forward.
He saw Ruby, Weiss and Blake getting ahead just fine as was Yang until a particularly large piece of rock fell upon her.
Adrenaline and muscles pumping, Spider-man swing towards her with all his might.
Yang unleashed her the last of her shotgun shells that were currently loaded in her gauntlets when she felt an arm wrap around her and she was pulled out of the way. Glancing over to her side, she grinned at seeing Spidey.
"Oh" Yang swooned jokingly onto his shoulder "My dashing hero"
"At your service milady" Peter said, swinging to join up with the other girls
Upon landing, Yang sprinted forward, reloading and jumped right at the Nevermore which flew at them once more.
Spider-man's eyes widened a great deal as he literally saw Yang hold the Grimm's mouth open and fired repeatedly into its mouth.
The beast stumbled in the air, crashing into the Cliffside. Yang landed unscathed and smirked at seeing Weiss charge forward now.
Just as the Grimm seemed ready to go airborne, Weiss jumped up and stabbed at the ground. Ice sprouted out, ensnaring the Grimm's tail.
"Peter" Blake called out to the web head, standing on one pillar adjacent to another "Help me out here"
She threw him one end of Gambol Shroud which he caught. Glancing at Ruby then the pillar, Peter caught on and jumped onto the other pillar and the two wrapped the long wire in place.
Ruby ran at yang who cocked her fist back in response.
Going into a flip jump, Yang punched the scythe end of Ruby's end which propelled her into the wire.
Hooking herself onto the wire, she stopped with Weiss conjuring forth a glyph to hold her steady.
"Only you can think of a plan this crazy" Weiss shook her head, clearly amused
"Think you can make it?" Was what Ruby asked
"Can I?" Weiss said rhetorically
A pause
"Can you?"
"Of course I can!" Weiss said annoyed
Weiss fired her forward and Ruby caught her scythe upon the Nevermores neck. Weiss shifted her stance and twirled Myrtenaster.
A row of glyphs that reached all the way to the top of the cliff appeared in Ruby's path which helped her as she rocketed forward, dragging the Grimm with her as it cried out unable to fight back.
Once she reached the top, Ruby pulled her scythe with all her strength and successfully decapitated the Nevermore.
Landing in a superhero pose(you know the one), she turned back to see her new comrades down below looking up at her.
Peter collapsed onto his rear, letting out a breath.
"Alright" He said "I'm done"
All the while, the adults were observing this with Sam's jaw being on the ground and Steve staring blankly.
"These kids are fucking insane" Were Sam's first words "Really, Really Fucking insane"
"Language" Glynda scolded, unknowingly bring up a bittersweet memory of Steve's "And you should know that you now have similar abilities due to your Aura's unlocking"
"Right" Sam sighed aloud "Looks like we've got our work cut out for us Steve"
"You know, for men who have prevented world ending threats, I find your reactions to these kids capabilities quite amusing" Ozpin remarked
"Shut up and drink your coffee Ozzy" Sam shot back making Oz shrug, grinning all the while
"They've got heart at least" Steve noted approvingly
BOOM BABY, THAT WAS A MARATHON
Yeah been busy readjusting to college life and work at the same time. I meant to release the chapter a helluva a lot sooner but as I said, life gets ya.
So much SO MUCH has come out recently that has been getting my nerd blood flowing at break neck speeds.
Kingdom Hearts
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5
Venom on the horizon
Fantastic Beasts trailer, X-men, Creed 2, Devil May Cry and so much fucking more.
CAPTAIN MARVEL WOOO, don't care if the trailer was lackluster, Marvel has yet to disappoint me so no way in hell am I missing out
Also, I wanna address this now. I skipped out on a few scene because for me, this chapter was all about climbing action. The small banter scenes in between didn't kill the momentum and the scene I'm talking about in particular is the one between Jaune and Pyrrha with him getting his aura unlocked.
Didn't want that in there as we've seen it, we know it, overdone as is.
But most of all, I had spoken about how this story will have AU and that includes the flow of the story and even scenes from RWBY being changed up. Following the structure but it can diverge on a whim depending on the flow and trajectory of each chapter and the story overall. With addition of the Avengers, things will play out very differently than what most would expect. Yes, like I said, the core structure will remain intact though small and big details will change
Just letting you guys know for the last time in detail. Small AU reminders here and there to new readers but overall, last time I go in detail.
Also, here's something for you guys as well.
"The hell is wrong with this planet?"
Star-lord, Leader of the Guardians of the galaxy stood with an odd device which was giving him a reading of the planet Titan.
"Gravitational pull is all over the place" Quill said "Planet's axis is eight degrees off its rotation"
"What happened here?" Ahsoka Tano asked no one in particular, taking a moment to observe the basically apocalypse weathered planet
"The force…" Anakin Skywalker, her Jedi master said warily "Its…so dead here. I'm not detecting anything on this planet"
"Yeah we got one advantage" Tony Stark AKA Iron Man idly observed "We'll use it"
He turned to the others consisting of Drax, Mantis, Doctor Strange, Captain Rex and Spider-man.
"All right, I've got a plan" Tony said aloud, having Anakin, Rex, Peter, Ahsoka and Peter gather around him
"Or at least, a semblance of one" Tony admitted "We gotta draw him in, pin him down and get what we need. Definitely don't wanna dance with this guys, we just want the gauntlet"
Tony was cut off at the sound of Drax the Destroyer yawning aloud.
"Are you yawning?" Tony asked incredulously "In the middle of all this, while I'm breaking it all down? Huh? Did you hear what I just said?"
"I stopped listening after 'I have a plan'" Drax truthfully stated making Rex shake his head disapprovingly
"Alright, Mr. Clean is on his own page" Tony said to Quill
"See, not winging it isn't exactly what they do" Quill said
"Um" Peter raised his hand, pointing it over to Drax "What is it exactly that they do?"
"Kick names, take ass" Mantis said firmly with Drax nodding along with her
Ahsoka slapped her hand to her face with Anakin being halfway between amused and irritated.
"We're all gonna die" Rex murmured
Tony only stared blankly, unresponsive.
"Alright, just get over here please" Tony said "Mr. Lord, can you get your folks to circle up?"
"Mr. Lord?" Quill chortled "Star-Lord is fine"
He gestured his head over to his friends to join up.
"We gotta coalesce" Tony said firmly "If all we come at him with is a plucky attitude…"
"Dude" Star-lord interrupted "Don't call us plucky, we don't know what it means. All right, we're optimistic…"
"Isn't that the same thing?" Both Ahsoka and Rex muttered at the same time
"Yes I like your plan" Quill went on "Except it sucks, so let me do the plan and that way it might be really good"
"Hey since we're all having plans, can I throw mine into the mix?" Anakin sarcastically said
"Master" Ahsoka said, nudging his side
"Tell them about the dance-off to save the universe" Drax said confidently to Quill who stared at his friend in annoyance
"What Dance-off?" Tony asked
"It's nothing" Quill waved off
"Like in Footloose the movie?" Peter asked in disbelief
"Exactly like Footloose" Quill said, suddenly elated "Is it still the greatest movie in history?"
"It never was" Peter said making Peter frown
"Don't encourage this" Stark said to Peter "We're getting no help Flash-Gordon here…"
"Flash Gordon?" Quill cut in "That's a compliment. Don't forget, I'm 50 percent human. So that 50 percent of me? That's a hundred percent you"
"You're math is blowing my mind right now" Tony said exasperatedly
"And I'm not human, remember?" Ahsoka shot back
"I'm a clone" Rex said "What does that make me?"
"Excuse Me" Mantis interrupted the banter between the group, looking back to where her eyes were on a moment ago.
"Does your friend often do that?" Mantis asked, now having everyone's attention
Clearly confused, Tony stepped forward "Strange? We all right?"
Doctor Strange didn't respond, floating in a meditative pose. Around him hung the necklace of the Time Stone which was currently active. His head shook about wildly, leaving after images of his expressions ranging from shock to anger to frustration.
The necklace abruptly sealed making Strange cry out, falling to the ground.
"You're back you're alright" Tony said, kneeling down to him
"Hey what was that just now?" Peter asked
Ahsoka and Anakin suddenly felt a powerful reverberation through the force, making both lurch over.
"Ahsoka" Peter cried out, beside her
"General" Rex placed a steady hand on Anakin's shoulder to keep him balanced
"The force" Anakin said grimly "I just…it felt like it was screaming in fear"
"It might have to do with what I did" Strange said "I went forward in time to see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflicts"
"How many did you see?" Quill asked
"28,001,210" Strange answered
Tony hesitated "How many did we win?"
Strange looked Tony dead in the eye
"One" He said with dread
Shakily, Ahsoka reached her hand over to Peters and took hold of it tightly. Parker wordlessly pulled her closely in an attempt to comfort her in contrast to the rising tension in the air and the team.
They felt it.
Thanos was coming very soon
A little something to show you guys I'm hard at work on revising Avengers: The Clone Wars
And also
"Man it is so much nicer here" Axel said contently, leaning casually back into his chair "Place is peaceful, food here is banging and the people are actually awesome"
Axel had spiky red hair and wore a black trench coat that covered his entire body from neck to toe, leaving nothing to be revealed
"Thanks" Josuke Higashikata, son of Joseph Joestar "Morioh is really great this time of year"
"This spaghetti is fantastic" Xion said, a young girl around Josuke's age who wore the same cloak as her friend Axel
"It is, isn't it" Okuyasu Nijimura exclaimed boisterously, slurping down his own plate of spaghetti "Ah man, Tonio always makes the best food"
"Jeez Okuyasu, you're getting all your food all over mine" Koichi Hirose complained
*GULP* Okuyasu swallowed his mouthful and gave his friend a sheepish look "Sorry 'bout that Koichi"
"That Stand of his is really useful" Roxas said, happily eating the large sundae that Tonio had made for him.
"Is Ice Cream all you ever eat Roxas?" Axel asked with a dry tone
"You're the one who introduced it to me" Roxas said with a pout, spoon in his mouth
Axel only chuckled, picking up his seared steak on a stick and taking a bite out of it. He hummed at the taste, finding the texture and flavor to be exquisite.
Ever since coming here, the trio from Organization XIII had made quick friends with the trio of the town of Morioh. They had spent many days simply lounging about or hanging around various locations of the town, always discovering something new and bizarre about the place.
They had all grown quite close and had usually just hung out at either Josuke's or Axel's place.
But all was not so simple in Morioh.
There had been a lurking threat to the town and it wasn't just the Heartless that the Organization members took care of.
No there was something else going on and Josuke along with his new friends were determined in figuring out just what it was.
"There you all are" a deep voice said from behind Josuke
The Pompadour teen shifted in his seat to see a giant of a man standing over him dressed in a fashionable white cloak and hat with the back half ripped off and blended in with his hair.
"Oh, Jotaro" Josuke greeted "You were looking for us?"
"I was" Jotaro nodded, face stoic and calm "I may have found some leads on the case regarding those missing women"
"You have?" Okuyasu asked, wide eyed in anticipation
"Indeed" Jotaro confirmed "We need to head downtown, there's a place the Speedwagon foundation managed to close down for me for us to investigate"
"What are we waiting for" Xion stood up "Let's go"
"Right" Roxas nodded
The team rushed out of the restaurant, all paying for their meals even if Tonio had told them multiple times that they didn't have to.
Just another Bizarre day and adventure in the town of Morioh.
Now you know why I made a Jojo reference in this chapter.
PRELUDE.
And mind you, this is just a scene that had popped up in mind when this crossover idea came to me.
No telling if it'll be in the story with what I have in store.
