(Ballroom)
Alex opened his eyes he could tell it was still early judging by all the other students asleep except Blake who sat reading her book and was also dressed and ready to go
"Huh thought I was the only one who ate up at this hour " Alex said walking up to her
"It's a force of habit what about you?" she asked
"Same I guess the Pai Zhuq training is still drilled into my head "Alex said
"The what?" Blake asked that when Alex realized what he said
"The Pai Zhuq they were a school I trained under. there not like beacon there secretive when I told ozpin he didn't believe me at first plus their kind of brutal I remember one time they had me balance on one hand on top of a 20ft pole" Alex said remembering his time spent in training
"Your serious? "Blake asked
"Oh, yea it was to test endurance and balance…. I fell flat on my face within the first ten minutes " Alex said surprisingly Blake laughed
"Wow…I never thought you would be the laughing type " Alex said
" I even surprise myself sometimes "Blake said as yang approached the two
"Hey, could you guy's give me a hand waking up ruby?" yang asked gesturing back towards Ruby's slumbering form.
"Yeah I think I have an idea "Alex said walking towards ruby while yang and Blake started talking.
"What did you guys talk about?" yang asked
"He told me about the school where he trained under the Pie Zhuq" the word felt very foreign to the two of them
"Never heard of it" yang said
"Nether have I but the way he talked about it he definitely wasn't lying" Blake said
"Weird" yang said
Alex approached the sleeping reaper keeling down next to her "Ruby wake up we make cookies!" he said
"Cookies!" ruby yelled as she shot up
"Sorry rubes no cookies seemed like the only way to wake you up" Alex said
"Ugh "Ruby grumbled a small pout settling on her lips.

(locker room)
After breakfast Alex met up with the other students inside the locker room, each of them had been assigned a locker to store their equipment and weapons. The lockers themselves were capable of being sent to any desired location after being summoned by a scroll which had been handed out to the student.
What surprised Alex the most was the lack of damage that had been present the night prior it had been repaired and the remains of any remaining grinders were gone.
'Ozpin' Alex thought as he began walking to the exit he passed Blake Weiss ruby and yang
"Good luck with initiation" he said as he passes
"Same to you" nodded Blake
"Thank you "Weiss said
"You too" Ruby said
"Yea sea you out there, soldier boy. " Yang said
Alex stopped dead in his tracks as those words echoed through his mind

(FLASHBACK)
Alex stared down at his helmet his face reflecting back at him in the black visor, it had been roughly two weeks since he'd graduated Plummer academy, working alongside his partner Katelin Walsh.
The two had been inseparable throughout the whole term, there had been a few jokes, some light teasing here or there, it didn't bother him or her for that matter. This was meant to be there first assignment shadowing a senior officer, it was common for most recruits fresh out of the academy, the whole thing was meant to teach them the ropes, simulations were fine but a hands-on experience was always better.
The Anur system was known for being dangerous, but they were meeting up with Scout, the Plummer stationed on the planet below, Anur transyl a world occupied entirely by what a lot of people back home would call monsters.
They weren't monsters despite how they looked, they were just people trying to live their lives, the real monsters… they were far away from here.
"Hey" Alex glanced up at his partner her slim dark burgundy armor that stood out compared to the ships white and green interior. Kate leaned against the doorway her helmet resting under her left arm a small smirk present on her lips.
"You done brooding or what?" She asked brushing her bangs out of her face.
"I wasn't brooding" Alex rolled his eyes in response to her words.
"Alright" Kate shrugged "You finished up logging our report to the magister."
"You mean the report we both have to sign off on."
"Lighten up, soldier boy" Kate said punching him in the arm as she walked off towards the exit ramp. Alex stood up applying his helmet he followed her out int the ships armory grabbing their weapons, two of the new mark fourteen techadorian multiblasters.
"Why do you always call me that " Alex said checking over his rifle securing it to his back he followed her out into the ships airlock.
"Because it annoys the living hell out of you plus the your all orders and by the books most of the time." Kate said listing the reasons of on her fingers as he deployed the exit ramp, before putting on her helmet.
"All right I get it...and remember don't take your helmet off these people are kind of jumpy around humans" Alex said as the ships landing pad closed behind
"I got it" She replied
"Glad to see some new faces out here it gets lonely from time to time" A voice spoke up from there left, the duo turned to face the new arrival, the pristine white plumbers armor he wore didn't leave much to the imagination to who this was.
"Sir" Alex and Kate greeted simultaneously, giving a stiff salute to the labowen.
"At, ease you two" Scout said waving their salute off. "Welcome to Anur transyl" He said before gesturing for the two of them to follow " Come on, ill fill you in on your assignments back at base. "Scout said
"Yes sir" Alex and Kate said as they began to follow him
The three of them walked down the aerially lit street getting a few looks from the residence who quickened their pace when passing them.
"The people are still getting used to the ideas of having Plummer here but things have been pretty quiet lately so don't worry….by the way are the rumors about you being those ranger guys everyone's been talking about, true? " scout asked
"I didn't realize we were that well know this far out" Alex replied
"Word travels fast kid" Scout shrugged "I always thought you guys were just a myth" scout said
"Were as real as they come, sir" Kate said
'You can drop the sir, it's just scout kid." Scout replied
"Yes, si-Scout" Kate amended
"So….Scout, whats the situation like out here?" Alex asked
"Quiet mostly" He replied "The occasional gang activity but nothing too serious, still I don't mind the extra help, Frank and Cassandra certainly won't either."
"Reports say this place is pretty quiet, whats the worst that could happen?" Kate asked
A sound shattering boom echoed in the distance. The ground beneath their feet shook followed by smoke rising over the buildings a few blocks away.
"You just had to say it " Alex sighed
"What the hell was that?!" Kate asked
"Trouble" scout said as the three ready's their weapons
FLASHBACK ENDS
Alex rounded on the blond a snar forming on his face "What did you just call me" he demanded, Yang's widened as she took a step back.
"Would all first-year students report to Beacon cliff for initiation! Again, all first-year students report to Beacon cliff immediately" a voice over the inter com said earning a sigh of relief from yang as Alex walked off trying to calm down
"What was that all about?" Yang asked
"I have no idea why did he get that angry "Weiss said
"It wasn't just anger did you see his eyes, whatever you said defiantly brought back a bad memory" Blake said
"Maybe we should give him time to cool off before we ask about what happened last night" ruby said while the others nodded in agreement
(Beacon cliffs)
The beacon student all gather at the cliffs an hour later each future huntsman/huntress stood alongside each other on metal platforms while glynda and ozpin stood in front of them
"For years you have trained to become warriors and today your skill's will be evaluated in the emerald forest "ozpin explained as he gestured to the forest behind him
"Now I'm shore many of you have heard the rumors about the assignment of teams, well allow us to put an end to your confusion. each of you will be given team mates... today "glynda said
A subtle "What" came from ruby as ozpin picked up where she left off
"These team mates will be with you for the rest of your time here at beacon so it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well that being said the first person you make eye contact with will be your partner for the next for years at beacon" ozpin said
"What!" ruby yelled while s the other students muttered between themselves
"After you've partnered up make your way to the northern end of the forest you will meet opposition on your way o not hesitate to destroy everything in your path... or you will die" ozpin said giving a cold look
"You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation" the head master continued "but our instructors will not intervene you will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff we will regards that item as well as your standing and you will be graded appropriately any questions"
The blond knight jaun raised his hand " uh yeah um sir? how-"
"good "ozpin said as if he didn't hear him "now take your positions"
All the students braced themselves on the platform as they began to click
Jaune raised his hand "Um sir? I've got an um question" he stuttered as the others were launched "so... this landing strategy thing, what is ti are you guys like dropping us off or something"
Ozpin shook his head "No you will be falling"
Jaun paled " Oh, I see so did you hand out parachutes for us?"
"No, you will be using your own landing strategy " ozpin replied whatever the boy had to say was replaced by a yelp as he was launched through the air with the others
The two professors watched them go just as Alex stepped onto the platform
"Mr. Fissure due to your arrangement with professor Ozpin you will be serving as a mentor to two teams of your own choosing there for you will be spending most of your time with them also I advise you to pick a relic which suites you best "glynda said
"Yes ma'am " Alex said
"Good luck out there" ozpin said
"Luck can only take me so far " Alex said as he was launched summoning the navy thunder morpher
"Thunder storm Ranger form" Alex cried his entire body was surrounded by a white light
his suite is mainly colored navy with gold Armor plating on his shoulders, shins, forearms and knees with a gold scarab symbol on his chest his helmet has gold metal plating around his visor which leads up to a scarab ornament on his fore head
"Power of Thunder!" navy thunder ranger cried as he descended into the canopy leaping from tree branch to tree branch 'ok keep heading north' Alex thought to himself
(Meanwhile)
Ruby lands in a crouched position before darting of with a single mantra in mid
'Gotta find yang, gotta find yang, gotta find yang, gotta find- she repeated
"Yang yaaang!" shouted ruby
' Oh, this is bad this is really bad...what if I can't find her... what if someone find's her first well there's always jaun he's nice, he's funny... I don't think he's very good in a fight though' Ruby wondered
'oh what about Blake so mysterious so calm plus she like's books oh then again I'm not shore I could hold a conversation with her... ok who else do I know in this school theirs yang jaun bake ... theirs Alex he's great in a fight but kind 'a scary at time's and those morpher's I wonder if I could NO!" Ruby scolded herself
'Stop you're getting distracted now who else do I know…' Time seemed to slow down as ruby skidded to a halt in front of Weiss who turned to face her she stops just in time for their eyes to meet there's is a pause for a moment when Weiss simply turns and leaves as she walks away
"Wait! where are you going?... were supposed to be team mates " ruby trailed of sadly Weiss continued to make her way through the brush only to come across a pinned jaun hanging from a tree she gave him a cold look before swiftly turning around grabbing a depressed ruby and dragging her off
"By no means does this make us friends" Weiss said
"You came back!" ruby cheered celebrating as she was dragged off
"Hey, wait! come back! who's going to get me down from here" jaun yelled
"Jaune do you...have any spots left on your team?" Pyrrha asked smiling up to him jaun did the only thing he could cross his arms and pout
"Very funny "jaun said before smiling slightly
(Back with ruby and Weiss)
"What's the hurry" ruby asked
"I will not let my mission be delayed because you're too slow I swear if I get a bad grade because of you-"ruby zipped in front of her leaving a shower of rose petals " what the-" paused Weiss surprised
"I'm not slow see you don't have to worry about me! Weiss just because I don't exactly know how to deal with people doesn't mean I don't know how to deal with monsters your about to see a whole different side of me today Weiss and after its all over your goanna be like "Wow that ruby girl is really, really cool...and I want to be her friend" ruby said before zipping of in a shower of rose petals
The foliage around Weiss began to rustle
"You may be fast but you still excel at wasting time. Ruby? ruby "Weiss asked as two glowing red eyes appeared behind her followed by a low growl slowly several Wolf like Grimm emerged from the brush the closest giving a howl
(meanwhile with yang)
"Helloooooooo?! is anyone out there Helloooooooo? I'm getting bored here" yang turns towards some bushes rustling parting the two" ruby is that you?" yang asked as her eyes trailed up
"Nope " she said swiftly rolling aside as a large black-bear Grimm swiped at the area where she had been standing another quickly followed out of the brush yang flicked her wrists her Ember Celica shotgun gauntlets unfolding ready for use one of the Ursa charged forwards pouncing towards the girl yang pulled back her arm cocking her gauntlet before she buried her fist into its chest unloading as she did so throwing the Ursa back its companion charge foreword yang swiftly uppercut the grim before pointing her fist behind her using the shotgun enhanced kick she sent to the Grimm's midsection
"You guys wouldn't happen to have seen a girl in a red hood would ya?" the two-grim stood on their hind legs before giving un leashing a roar "you could have just said no" grinned yang the first Ursa charged at her again swiping at yang who dodged it with a back-hand spring
"Geese you two couldn't hit the broad side of...a..." yang trailed off as a lock of her golden hair flutter down in front of her yang's eyes were over shadowed for a moment while the two Ursa looked at each over in confusion
"You...you...monster! "yang yelled as her eyes turned crimson red as her body was shrouded in flames. she rushed the Ursa that had damaged her hair driving a savage punch into its gut followed by and uppercut before unleashing several savage blows to the creature's torso shotgun blast going off as ever hit made contact sending the Ursa flying through almost a dozen trees in a row of flames she turned to the other Ursa that stood on its hind legs
"What you want some to "bellowed yang a shadow darted down behind the Ursa, the monster fell at the blond feet behind it stood Blake with a small smirk on her face which yang returned
"I could have taken it"
(Back with navy thunder ranger)
Navy thunder ranger stood on a large tree branch looking over at the column of smoke rising in the distance " looks like someone's having a good time" Alex said before continuing to his objective when suddenly a bolt of lightning struck the limb under him
"Whoa!" navy thunder ranger cried as he landed rolling out of the way as another bolt of lightning impacts wear he was standing
"Look what the cat caught!" fury bellowed as he charged towards navy thunder ranger who drew his thunder staff blocking a strike from his sword and kicking fury in the gut causing him to stumble backwards as navy thunder range took a fighting stance before the two charged at each over fury slashed at the navy thunder ranger who roll under it jabbing furry in the side while using his staff to block the strike's from fury's blade furry delivered a savage head but knocking Navy thunder ranger back
Quickly recovering navy thunder ranger planted his staff into the earth lifting himself onto it before double kicking fury knocking him to the ground getting back to his feat fury let out a cry of rage his sword built up in power as it began to spark "FURY, S ROAAAAAAAR!" he bellowed with each slash firing off bolts of energy at the ranger who dodged with a back-hand spring before darting foreword drop kicking furry into a tree
Navy thunder ranger's staff began to transform each end of the staff now sported a large jagged blade braking the staff in two he hurled one end like a javelin pinning part of fury's attire to the trunk "skies of wonder power of thunder!" he bellowed as navy thunder ranger leaped into the air the blade unleashed a volley of electricity obliterating the tree line and burying fury under fallen trees he took a moment to catch his breath
"This is bad I gotta find the others " navy thunder ranger said before sprinting towards the ruins he could see in the distance
A fist shot out of the pile of burned wood and fallen trees two glowing yellow eyes filled with rage and anguish watched him speed off before letting out a mighty roar throwing the debris aside
"You can run but you can't hide!"
