(A smokescreen is seen and a great, golden dragon flies out of it, breathing fire before it turns in a barrel roll formation then turns into a man made entirely of gold with one Perfect Sharingan eye, the other a Rinnegan eye and a third eye on his forehead)

Long live the KING

Welcome back everyone and I hope your all staying safe and healthy

And this is the 12th chapter of the S.F chronicles and it is good, old initiation time for the new students and like Ozpin and Glynda said, the S.F teams will be supervising the new bloods but also a little something different

Also, some more OC characters are coming your way

ENJOY

Chapter 12 Initiation time part 1

It was 7:00 AM in the morning where the new students woke up and were now having a spot of breakfast, all were gathered in the cafeteria

"MMMM, just as good as papa used to make" Thaddeus said as he munched on some pancakes

"Though it could use a pinch more cinnamon" Lance said

"And chocolate chip" Ruby said, munching on her pancakes, but then a new smell came into their nostrils

"WHEW, what smells so GOOD" Ruby asked

"I don't know but I like it" Yang said

"Smells like…rice" Percy said

"What your smelling is rice with soy sauce, scrambled eggs, a dash of seasoning, sliced unions and to top the whole thing off…another egg, sunny side up" A voice said, the teens looked over to see another student, a male (This guy is white-skinned, has blue eyes and jet black hair that was so long it almost touched the ground, about a foot taller than Yang, wearing a jaggy pair of black pants with golden-colored lining, a pair of black army boots, he wore a thigh-long vet with long collar that was linked across his upper abs with a skull-shaped pendent, showing off his figure which according to some girls was near-flawless with a six pack and tight chest, wearing black, leather gloves)

"It's just a good thing that this place has such a huge stock of food ingredients" The guy told the group

"WOW…and I thought Yang's hair" Lance said, Damom and Edna then came up

"MMMM, SMELLS SO GOOD, you, you made that breakfast" Edna asked the guy with the rice breakfast bowl

"Yeah" He answered

"Care you pretty, pretty, PRETTY PLEASE make one for me and Sharp-tooth, these pancakes STINK, no love was put into them" Edna said

"She's got a point" Ruby muttered to Yang

"Yeah" Yang agreed

"Sharp-tooth, like that dinosaur from the land before time movie" The guy asked

"Yeah, don't ask, sorry about my friend getting in your space, I'm Damom Razor and that's Edna Moon and you would be" Damom asked the guy with the rice breakfast bowl

"Oh, Ezio Strider" The guy answered as he bowed to the two

"So how about it Ezio, may we have some of that breakfast you made" Edna asked with puppy eyes on her face

"PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE" She begged

"WHOA…she's got those puppy eyes down just right" Ezio told Damom

"OH YEAH, she can get almost ANYTHING she wants with em" Damom said

"Well…I suppose I can make two more…but only because of those eyes, you want one to" Ezio asked Damom

"Well, I wasn't gonna ask but since you're asking" Damom said

"Alright" Ezio replied before he walked back to the kitchen

"SCORE" Edna yelled as she and Damom high-fived, leaving Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Percy, Lance and Thaddeus a little confused

"That was…strange" Weiss said

"More like unique personalities" Thaddeus told her

"That rice DID smell good though" Percy said

"And did you girls see his abs, MMMMM" Yang mummed with a look that said she wanted to touch them

"Show some restraint" Weiss said

"What, I bet you wanna touch them to" Yang said

"I DO NOT…though he does have a sense of style" Weiss admitted

"WOW, someone that you might ACTUALLY like" Ruby said, things got peaceful again until Cardin's voice was heard

"HEY, that's my muffin" Cardin said as he and his group were looking down on a male student (Who is white-skinned, has silver hair that was short and spikey, icy blue eyes though his left eye was covered up by an eyepatch, his nose and mouth were covered by a red gator neck cloth, his main attire consisted of a suit similar to Goblin Slayer's attire but he had a red and gold trimming poncho on and on his back was what looked like a giant gourd)

"I know and its my favorite flavor, blueberry" The student said

"Give it to me, NOW" Cardin said

"I believe the saying is…first come…first serve" The student said

"How about this, the guy who doesn't do what I say gets his ass kicked, I need my strength to get through the initiation…so give me the muffin and I'll get you one from the trash can cyclopes" Cardin said

"Sorry, no deal" The student said as he turned to walk away

"WHY YOU, GET OVER HERE" Cardin growled as he went to grab the student but the gourd suddenly spewed out what looked like sand and created a large arm and hand with vicious claws that grabbed Cardin and slammed him against the wall

"HOLY SHIT" Percy yelled as he and his group looked at the massive arm

"By Monty Oum" Weiss muttered

"If I were you boys, I would reframe from doing what your friend did" The student said before he walked away, the huge arm then let go of Cardin and he fell to the ground as the huge hand went back into the large gourd, his group then came to help him up but he shoved them off when he got to his feet

"Who the hell do you think you are" Cardin asked the student that stood up to him, he then turned to look at Cardin

"Orenstein Smaug" The student answered before he left

"Well, this is starting out to be an interesting day" Blake said

(After breakfast)

After breakfast the hunters and huntresses to be prepared themselves for the initiation while one of them Nora Valkyrie was blabbering off her mouth to one of the new, male students, Lie Ren

"I wonder what those two are so worked up about" Ruby asked Yang, Percy and Lance

"Seems like an odd couple" Lance said

"Yeah a guy who hardly says anything and a girl who never shuts up seems like a match made by a guy with no brain" Percy said

"I've seen…weirder couples" Thaddeus said

"Oh, who knows, so, you seem awfully chipper this morning" Yang told Ruby who chuckled, pulling Crescent rose out of her locker

"Yup, no more awkward small talk or getting to know you stuff, today, I'm gonna let my sweetheart do the talking for me" Ruby answered, cuddling Crescent rose

"You got a weapon fetish or something" Percy asked

"Nah, she is just a little…obsessed with em" Yang answered

"Aww, but Ruby, I was starting to like our little conversations" Lance told her

"Well…maybe, you and Yang are the only ones who are worth talking to around here" Ruby replied

"What about Percy here" Yang asked

"I'm more of the type to let the weapon do the talkin" Percy answered as he pulled out his weapon

"WHOA" Ruby said with starry eyes

"Ladies, say hello to Bianca, Bianca meet the ladies" Percy said with pride

"Bianca" Yang asked

"You named your weapon after your…mom, perhaps" Ruby asked

"Not our mom" Lance said

"Sister then" Ruby asked

"Nope" Lance answered

"Girlfriend, then" Yang asked

"Never had one, no time for one, anyway I ain't telling" Percy said

"Ruby, Yang trust me when I say this, he'll NEVER tell you why he named his riffle Bianca…I've tried EVERYTHING to get him to loosen his lips…just won't work" Lance told the sisters

"Damn it" Yang muttered

"And with that we are back to our regularly scheduled conversation people, what about Thad, Juane and Mar, Ruby" Lance asked her

"Them to, I guess" Ruby answered

"Remember Ruby, you're not the only one going through the initiation, if you wanna grow up, your gonna have to meet new people and learn to work together" Yang told her

"ARGH, you sound like DAD, okay, first off, what does meeting new people have to do with fighting, and secondly, I don't need people to help me grow up, I drink milk" Ruby replied, Lance then started to chuckle but then it turned into laughing

"Oh, God's above" Percy muttered, face-palming his forehead

"Is something funny" Ruby asked Lance

"Don't ask…just don't" Percy told her

"Oh, um…NOTHING, nothing at all" Lance said, trying to straighten up his face, then Mar walked up

"Good-morning-muchachos" Mar said in a singing voice before seeing Lance trying to straighten his face

"What's wrong with him did he eat something sour" Mar asked

"Don't ask" Percy answered as he put Bianca away after making slight adjustments

"What's up Mar" Yang asked

"You weren't at breakfast" Blake said

"Just brushing the stiffness out of my tail, I mean do you have ANY idea how long it takes for me to get the tangles out of a tail with THIS much hair" Mar asked

"Can't be any longer than the time Yang spends brushing her own hair" Ruby said

"Hey when you got hair this sexy, you gotta take care of it" Yang said, flipping her hair a bit

"Hell, to the yeah girl" Mar said as he and Yang high-fived each other

"And breakfast, you'll need your strength" Thaddeus said

"Thanks to THIS baby, I'm running on pure adrenaline" Mar answered as he showed a 5-Hour energy drink in his hand

"What a diva" Percy said

"Hey, be nice bro…or at least be your definition of nice" Lance told his brother

"Besides, I'll have time to eat after the initiation" Mar said

"Anyway, Mar this is Percy and his little brother Lance, guys this is Mar" Yang introduced the three

"What up brothers" Mar said with his tail-hand holding up a peace sign

"Peace dude" Lance said throwing up his own peace sign

"Hmm" Percy muttered with a node

"But back on track, what do you think will happen when we're put on teams" Yang asked Ruby

"I don't know…I guess, I'll just be on your team" Ruby told Yang

"How about you try to be on someone else's team" Yang replied

"My dear sister, Yang, are you implying that you do not want to be on the same team as me" Ruby asked her

"WHAT, NO, OF COURSE NOT, I'm just saying that it'll help you break out of your shell" Yang told her sister

"Who says I need to break out of my shell" Ruby asked

"I think she means that other than Yang and the rest of us, you should get to know others here, you know, just in-case you get put on a different team, right, Yang" Lance defended Yang

"Yeah, what he said" Yang replied

"Well…I'm just nervous" Ruby told them then Thaddeus and Juane walked up to the group

"Good morning my friends" Thaddeus greeted

"Morning" Ruby said

"You guys ready" Juane asked them

"Waited my whole life to be here" Percy replied before Thaddeus noticed Ruby's nervousness

"Nervous" Thaddeus asked Ruby

"A little, yeah" Ruby answered, suddenly someone held up a piece of bubblegum in front of Ruby, it was a female student (She was about Ruby's height, Magenta hair that went below her ears, white skin, deep Amber eyes, wearing an outfit similar to the original outfit of Android 18 from "Dragon ball" with a pair of headphones around her neck which lead to an old cassette player on her belt, she wore fingerless gloves that were a light pink color, her fingernails were painted a black color and hanging from her earlobes were earrings with the red hourglass symbol of the Black widow spider)

"Double bubble" The female student asked

"Always calms me down" She told Ruby, who took a piece

"Um, thanks" Ruby said

"Names Lala Willow by the way" The girl told Ruby

"Oh, nice to meet you, I'm Ruby" Ruby told her

"A pleasure" Lala said

"Hey, Lala you think I can um, get one of those to, if you don't mind" Mar asked, she then handed him a piece

"Cheers mate" Mar said as he threw up the piece and caught it in his mouth

"Anyone else" Lala offered but no one took a piece

"Fair enough, see ya'll out there" Lala said before walking off

"Well…let's get this show on the road" Percy stated, meanwhile a female student who was finishing putting on the last piece of her clothing was suddenly approached by, who else…Cardin

"Well, well, well, look what we got here boys, a COWGIRL" Cardin said (The girl who he was talking about was white-skinned with adorable freckles lining her cheeks, golden, blond hair that was as long as Yang's was and the tip of it was in a little ponytail, green eyes and…well-built like Yang is but her ass was a bit more plump and her hips were slender, she was wearing a white-tank top shirt, over it was a light brown, leather jacket with tassels hanging along the arms and an image of a black bison on the back of it, a pair of jeans with thigh-high, cowgirl boots with metal tips, she wore leather bracelets on her left wrist and a brown belt around her waist that had a whip on the right hip and to top it all off was a traditional cowboy hat finishing the whole thing)

"What can I do for ya fellas" She asked with a country twang in her voice

"How I be your horse after this initiation, you know "saddle up" with me" Cardin flirted

"As soon as I find out which end is the front and which is the ass, I'll tell you know" She replied

"OOOOH, BURN" Mar called, making Lance, Yang and Ruby laugh and Blake giggled

"SHUT UP…don't be that way baby, come on" Cardin said, grabbing her arm

"If you wanna keep that hand, you'll let go" She told Cardin

"Oh boy" Yang muttered

"Someone should teach him how to respect a lady" Thaddeus said as he, Lance and Mar were about to jump in and help but then the girl Cardin grabbed suddenly kneed him in the nuts, making him let out a girlish squeal and fall to his knees in pain, grabbing his junk

"OOOOOH" Percy, Mar, Thaddeus, Lance, Ruby, Yang, Blake and even Weiss grunted at the same time

"Well…hot damn" Mar said

"Right in the family jewels" Percy muttered

"Sorry COWBOY…but Donna Black don't play horse for a varmint like you" She told Cardin before she looked at Cardin's boys

(Now class, who ELSE in the RWBY universe do we know who has the last name of Black, other than Thaddeus, can ya figure it out?)

"Got a PROBLEM with that boys" The girl named Donna asked only for the boys to back off, letting her pass

"Didn't think so" Donna said as she walked away as Percy, Mar, Thaddeus, Lance, Ruby, Yang, Blake and Weiss watched her walk away

"Hmm, I like her attitude" Percy said

"I am both…frightened AND aroused at the same time, is that weird" Mar asked the others

"EEWW" Blake muttered

"She certainly knows how to handle herself" Thaddeus said

"A strong woman, I like her already" Weiss said

"Hell yeah" Yang agreed

(Near the forest)

The students were walking to the cliff side when they arrived there, they are surprised to see one of the students already there along with Ozpin, Glynda, Eric, Ivan, Merida, Tifa, Hector, Vali, Ada, Corypheus and Marcus

"Hey, looks like someone already beat us here" Percy said, pointing to the student who was doing some-kind of Samurai-like practice motions with a Japanese Kitana in his hands

"Well, would you LOOK at that" Lance added as the man with the sword practiced (This boy was a dragon Faunus, he is white-skinned with green, short hair, green eyes and in some places on his body were green, dragon-like scales, coming out from his lower back was a long, spear-tipped dragon-like tail and protruding from his shoulder blades were a pair of wings that were folded into a compacted form, six in total, three protruding from each shoulder blade, he was also wearing a traditional, white Samurai robe and sandals, he also had dark blue and black trimming, Samurai-like armor plating's on his shoulders, forearms, both sides of his hips and torso, he also had three sword sheaths on each hip, each with a sword in it, making it a total of six sword)

"Is that a Faunus" Yang asked

"GREAT…more stinking animals around and one that wears a DRESS" Cardin said

"It's a robe Cardin, a Samurai robe" Blake said

"No one was talking to you" Cardin said before Percy whacked the back of his head

"And that ain't just any Faunus you dimwit" Percy said

"WHY YOU LITTLE" Cardin growled as he tried punching him in the face only for the same thing that happened to Weiss happened to Cardin

"AAAAAAAAAH" Cardin yelled in pain, feeling like he punched a brick wall

"It's one of the rarest types of Faunus's…a DRAGON Faunus" Percy said

"A DRAGON FANUS" Blake, Mar and Damom asked at the same time

"I thought they were all extinct" Ezio said

"Some…but not all" The dragon Faunus said as he was completing his practices and turning to face the students

"What makes them so rare" Ruby asked Percy

"Not many Faunus's have the traits of mythical creatures, like the kinds you read about in stories but dragon Faunus's are known for having superior speed, strength and durability that ANY other Faunus types…kind of like an Alpha species among the others their so rare these days" Lance explained

"Not to mention they invented one of the most powerful swordsmanship disciplines EVER to be made" Percy added

"The claws of the dragon" Blake said

"Indeed" The dragon Faunus said as he twirled his sword in his right hand before he sheathed it like a real Samurai

"I've heard about the claws of the dragon from my sister, her general once came across someone who fought with the same style years ago" Weiss said

"That was probably my master, who taught me his style before he passed…God's rest his soul" The dragon Faunus said

"She told me that your style embassies wielding six swords at once, in-between each of your fingers like the claws of a dragon" Weiss said

"A combination of speed, power, accuracy and grace but I've taken it to another level" The dragon Faunus said

"How so" Yang asked

"You'll have to wait and see" The dragon Faunus answered

"How long have you been…here" Mar asked

"He's been here for close to an hour and a half" Corypheus answered

"I got an early start" The dragon Faunus said

"And you are" Yang asked

"Oh, pardon my manners, Ryu Midoriya" The dragon Faunus answered with a bow

"Note students, this is the type of attitude that Hunters and Huntresses should have, always ready to go at a moment's notice, even in the small hours of the morning, now that everyone is here…take your positions" Ozpin told the group as they took their positions on some not suspicious, steel square on the ground

(Oh, don't pay no mind to me, just stand there on that platform, while I turn these here little dials, nothings gonna happen, LAUNCH!)

"This is gonna be GO-O-O-O-OD" Eric said

"You think they got what it takes" Merida asked the others

"They look tough to me" Tifa said

"Tougher than us" Vali asked

"HELL NO" Tifa said

"As to their performance in the field, well, it all depends" Corypheus answered as he played a few cords on his sitar

"Depends on what" Ivan asked

"Depends on if lady luck smiles on them" Corypheus answered

"Out of all the people I've known for decades Corypheus, I thought that a man of your experience would believe in skill instead of sheer, dumb luck…you surprise me" Ada told him

"Maybe some people don't believe in luck…but maybe lady luck believes in us" Corypheus answered

"Can you put that on a fortune cookie" Hector asked

"Sounds like it belongs on one" Tifa said, Vali nodded in agreement

"Shh, they're about to start" Marcus said as Ozpin addressed the new bloods

"For years, you have all trained to become warriors, today, your skills will be evaluated in the Emerald forest" Ozpin told the students

"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors of the assignment of teams, well, allow us to put an end to your confusion, each of you will be given teammates…today" Glynda explained, Ruby secretly grunted

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon, so it is in your best interest to be pared with someone who you can work well with, that being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years" Ozpin explained, Ruby was shattered on the inside

"WHAT" Ruby stated in shock

"Breath Ruby, it'll be fine" Thaddeus told her

"After you are partnered up, make your way to the Northern end of the forest, you will meet opposition on the way, do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path…or you will die" Ozpin explained further

"I'm liking these odds" Damom said, gripping his hammer harder

"Oh man" Juane muttered before he gulped

"That's my style to begin with" Percy said as he took out Bianca

"You will be monitored for the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not interfere, Mister Stone" Glynda said before Eric and the S.F team stepped up

"AAAW, CUTE DOGGIE" Ruby said about Volf who barked

"Thank you" Ivan said

"Puppy my FOOT, that things more like a Dire wolf" Lance added, Blake then slightly hid behind Mar

"Uh, you mind keeping him away from me" Blake asked

"Stay focused you two" Ada said, Ruby and Lance refocused, Eric then cleared his throat before he spoke

"As said before Oz has asked us you help evaluate you all" Eric started

"What can you guys teach us" Cardin asked

"Hopefully they can teach you how to play cards better" Mar said

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU FAUNUS PIECE A" Cardin was about to say before something whacked his huge mace out of his hand, it was Eric's Power pole

"Save that energy for the Grimm, you might need it where you're going" Eric told them as Cardin picked up his mace

"Somebodies TOUCHIE" Edna said

"Pay attention new bloods, because were only gonna explain this one, your objective is this" Corypheus said as the S.F members each held up a chess piece, all but Eric

"You must venture into the forest, find us and wrestle these pieces from us" Corypheus explained

"Each pair must acquire one and then return to the top of the cliff, you will then be graded appropriately on your performance in the field" Hector explained

"Sounds easy enough" Percy said

"You'd be a fool to think that" Glynda said

"You make it sound like these guys are invincible" A student by the name of Sky Lark said

"No one is invincible but the S.F team are the best at what they do" Ozpin said

"S.F" Mar asked

"Special forces" Tifa said, suddenly a figure landed from the sky behind Tifa, it was Kiryu

"What on REMNANT" Weiss muttered

"Relax, he's friendly, that's Kiryu, Tifa's partner and brother" Vali said, Tifa then stepped behind Kiryu and a compartment opened up, large enough for Tifa to step into and it closed behind her, she was now inside of Kiryu

"WOW" Blake muttered

"She BUILT that thing" Lance asked

"NICE" Ezio said

"Very impressive technology" Thaddeus said

"The name of the game is capture the relic…those who succeed in getting it from us are in, those that DON'T…will have to wait until next year and try again" Eric explained, causing some of the students to panic, especially Ruby

"Doesn't sound too hard" Damom said

"Is that confidence or cockiness talking" Ryu asked

"Can't it be a bit of both" Damom asked

"Not if you wanna keep your head attached to your body" Hector said

"And trust us, getting these relics from us will be easier said than done" Ada added

"However, if you wanna try and take it by yourself or with a partner then feel free to do so just make sure it's with someone you can work with" Marcus added

"Just like us, teamwork is the key" Tifa said

"Anything we left out Ozpin" Corypheus asked Ozpin

"No…you've covered everything" Ozpin said

"There is…ONE more part of the test, when you get your pieces, you'll have to face one more trial before you can succeed and that obstacle…is ME" Eric said

"You" Many of the students asked, Cardin then walked up to Eric, towering over him but only slightly

"What can a short punk like YOU do" Cardin asked as he poked Eric's chest before Eric gripped Cardin's right finger and twisted it making him yell in pain and fall to his knees

"Lesson one boys and girls, NEVER underestimate your opponent even if they are smaller or seemingly innocent because if you do, you'll probably either die…or fall flat on your ass" Eric said before shoving Cardin back in line

"HARD" Eric said

"Man, that guy is sure getting some punishment today" Donna said as she was munching on a bag of chips

"Um, didn't we eat just a little less than an hour ago, cowgirl" Lala asked her

"First, its not cowgirl, it's Donna and two, I need calories" Donna replied

"For what if you don't mind me asking" Orenstein asked her

"If your lucky, you'll see for yourself" Donna answered, Gabriel then smelt what kind of chips she was snacking on

"Is that…spicy jalapeno" Gab asked

"Yeah" Donna answered

"You wouldn't happen to have another bag of those on you, would ya" Gab asked her, she then turned her bag away from Gab

"Get your own" She answered

"Cold girl" Gab said

"PAY ATTENTION" Ada snapped, causing Gabriel, Orenstein, Lala and Donna to stand up in attention

"YES MA'AM" Gabriel, Orenstein, Lala and Donna said at the same time

"Well, now that we got that out of the way, good luck to you all and may the odds be ever in your favor" Eric said

"Hunger games, right" Mar asked

"That's one of my FAVORITE MOVIES" Lance added

"HELL YEAH" Mar said as he and Lance high-fived each other

"If you two are through geeking out, we've got things to do" Merida said

"Shall we then team" Eric asked his team as they faced the cliffside

"Lay-say le bon tom roo-lay" Ada said which means "Let the good times roll" before the S.F team jumped off the cliff and descended into the forest below

"I think I like those guys" Mar told Blake who rolled her eyes a bit

"Now, are there any questions" Ozpin asked the group

"Yeah, um, sir" Juane was about to ask

"Good, take your positions" Ozpin told the students as they prepared themselves, Yang then held out her fist to Percy

"Good luck" She told Percy, Percy then bumped her fist

"You to" He replied

"Um, sir, I have a question" Juane stated as the students were being launched into the forest

"So, this, landing strategy thing, wh-what is it, are you like, dropping us off or something" Juane asked Ozpin

"Up, up and AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY" Mar yelled as he was launched

"No…you will be falling" Ozpin answered bluntly as students were continued to be launched into the forest

"ONWARD" Thaddeus yelled as he was launched

"Oh, I see, so, like, did you hand out parachutes for us" Juane asked as Percy was launched as well

"No, you will be using your own landing strategy" Ozpin answered

"Yeah, but" Juane was about to ask again

"Juane, you keep asking wrong questions, then you're gonna keep getting wrong answers" Lance told him

"Very true" Ozpin added

"And besides, we're standing on metal squares on a cliff, overlooking the forest…how do you think we're going in" Lance asked him

"Very perceptive of you" Ozpin replied as Glynda activated something on her Scroll

"Wait…what" Juane asked

"If I were you, I'd brace for impact" Lance told Juane as the squares that the students were standing on catapulted them through the air and into the forest

"SHOW TIME" Lance said before he was launched with Juane behind him, each of the students landed in the forest using their own landing method, Percy gripped Bianca by her long barrel and curved, scythe-like blade extended out of the riffles stock and used it to latch onto a branch, flipping under the branch and he unlatched his curved blade for him to backflip up into the air, flipping three times before landing on the same branch

"Alright, Bianca let's go hunting" Percy said as he moved forward, jumping from branch to branch, Lance on the other hand took out his Armament fan-like weapon and gripped a bar under the weapon's center stock and he glided safely down to the ground

"Light as a feather" Lance said, meanwhile Mar was soaring overhead before he saw his landing method, he stretched out his tail and gripped a long branch and he went flying by, stretching his tail before it slingshot him backwards, he did the same with another branch and slingshot again until he skid on the ground safely

"OOOOH, what a stretch" Mar said, finally Thaddeus saw a branch and landed on it before quickly bouncing to the next branch, he leapt to many branches (Kind of like how Watchdog man from "One punch man" does when he fights) he then landed on the ground, he then thrusted his arms forward and these three-prong, bladed weapons were now in his hands (These weapons are like Rain's weapon from "Mortal Kombat 11")

"That wasn't so bad" Thaddeus muttered before he moved on, meanwhile Ryu extended out his wings which was at least 12-feet in length and he glided down to the ground before moving on, Ezio on the other hand used his Semblance and his long hair suddenly moved and it gripped onto a couple of branches like his hair was prehensile in order to stop himself from falling and landed on the ground, Edna was just flying through the air with her arms stretched out

"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" Edna yelled as she flew before she took out twin, curved daggers before she dug into a horizonal, half fallen tree to slow her descent and landed on the ground

"Now…where, oh WHERE could my sharky friend be" Edna asked herself, meanwhile Damom was flying through the air before he was heading straight for a large tree before he pulled out his large hammer and impacted into the tree with enough force to make it tumble down, Damom ran up the falling tree before he jumped off the top of it and landed on the ground

"OH YEAH" Damom muttered before moving on, meanwhile Gab while in mid-air drew a giant feather than he used to glide down to safety, Orenstein on the other hand used his sand to create a slide to safely descend, Lala shoot what looked like a web-line that attached to a tree and she swung like Spiderman around the large tree until she reached the bottom and Donna used her whip as a lasso to grip onto a tree and swing from one tree to the next until she came to a safe stop

(With Percy)

Percy was moving along the top of the trees, avoiding Grimm below until he heard a female voice under him, he looked down to see Ruby sprinting at high speeds

"YANG, YAAAAAAAAAAANG" Ruby yelled, trying to find her sister until she spotted Weiss, she came to a stop and they stared at each other

*Hmm, this should be interesting* Percy said in his mind before Weiss turned around and walked off

"Wait, where are you going" Ruby asked Weiss as she walked off

*Or not* Percy said in his mind

"We're supposed to be teammates" Ruby muttered, kicking up a little dirt with her right boot, Weiss walked a little bit away before she spotted Juane who had his hoodie under his armor impaled in a tree thanks to a certain, red head girl, he nervously waved at her before she turned around and walked back

"By no means does this make us friends" Weiss told Ruby before she gripped Ruby's hood and pulled her along

"YOU CAME BACK" Ruby stated, leaving Juane alone

"HEY, wait a minute, who's gonna get me down from here" Juane shouted as the two girls left

*Oh boy, this kid* Percy said in his mind, he then noticed a red-haired girl (Pyrrha Nikos) walk up to Juane

"Hmm" Percy muttered

"Hey, Juane…do you have any spots left on your team" She asked the blond boy

"Very funny" Juane stated before she helped him down, Percy couldn't help but smirk a bit as he shook his head lightly before he took off

(With Ruby and Weiss)

"What's the hurry" Ruby asked Weiss

"I will not let my mission be delayed because your too slow, I swear if I get a bad grade because your" Weiss was about to say before Ruby instantly appeared up in front of her

"WHAT THE" Weiss was about to say

"I'm not slow, you see, you don't have to worry about me" Ruby stated

"When did" Weiss was about to ask

"Weiss, just because I don't know how to deal with people yet doesn't mean I don't know how to deal with monsters" Ruby stated before she put her left arm around Weiss's shoulder

"You're about to see a whole different side of me today Weiss, and after its all over, you're gonna be like "Wow, that Ruby girl is really, really COOL…and I wanna be her friend" Rudy tole Weiss before she dashed off, Weiss then heard bushes rustling

"You may be fast but your still excel at wasting time" Weiss called, thinking Ruby was messing around but Ruby didn't respond

"Ruby" Weiss called but no answer

"Ruby" Weiss called again but still no answer as the rustling got louder, suddenly red, glowing eyes appeared behind Weiss then growling was heard as even more red eyes were seen, then a Beowulf Grimm came out of the bushes

"RUBY" Weiss called out as the Beowulf roared at her

(With Yang)

Yang was walking along the forest floor, unaware that something was following her

"Hello…HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, is anyone out there, HELLO, I'm getting bored here" Yang called out before she heard rustling from a nearby bush

"Someone there" Yang asked as she walked over to the source of the rustling

"Ruby, is that you" Yang asked as she looked behind the bushes but found something else

"NOPE" Yang stated as she dodged back and activated her Ember Celica as two Ursa Grimm's came out of the bushes

"Hey, um, have either of you seen a girl in a red hood or a guy in a light lavender hood, have you" She asked them, the two Grimm just roared at her

"You could have just said no" Yang replied as the Grimm attacked her, she attacked in return, landing a couple of hits on them and dodging their massive claws

"HA, HA, you two couldn't hit the broad side of a" Yang was about to say before she saw a single strain of her blond hair float to the ground, that did it

"YOU" Yang grunted as her light lavender eyes turned to pure her, the Grimm were confused at this point

"YOU MONSTERS" Yang shouted as she sprinted forward and started pummeling away at one of the Grimm with multiple, heavy hits with her fists before she knocked the Grimm away, leaving the second one alone, it looked like it was gonna come up behind her with a surprise attack but she turned to the Grimm, stopping it in its tracks

"WHAT, YOU WANT SOME TO" Yang asked the Grimm, it was about to attack but then he made a "Yelp" type of sound before falling dead on the ground, behind it was Blake who used her siècle flail to kill the Grimm, she then pulled her weapon back to her and sheathed it, she then smirked at Yang

"I could have taken him" Yang told Blake

"Of course, you could" Blake stated, suddenly rustling was heard from behind them and out came another Ursa but it was three times the size of the two that Yang fought, possibly the alpha of the pack

*Oh shit* Yang and Blake thought at the same time, it charged them and the girls prepared to fight but then something wrapped around the two and pulled them out of the way of the attacking Ursa, it was Mar using his tail like a lasso to pull them out of danger before he jumped towards the Ursa and landed on its back, Mar then wrapped his tail around the Ursa's neck and looped into its mouth acting like a horse reign

"YEEEEEEHAW" Mar shouted as he rode the Ursa like an untamed horse as it thrashed here, there, everywhere trying to throw Mar off its back

"WHOOOH, YEAH RIDE EM COWBOY" Mar yelled as the Ursa continued to thrash before Mar lead the beast into a huge boulder headfirst and it broke its neck, he then flipped off the Grimm and landed on the ground

"BABY WHAT A RIDE" Mar said before turning to the girls who were a little surprised

"Mar…that…was…AWESOME" Yang yelled

"More like reckless" Blake said

"Would you prefer I DIDN'T save that little plump ass of yours" Mar asked Blake who blushed at the mention of her ass

"Well…no" Blake muttered

"What I think she means is thanks Mar" Yang told him

"Anytime, now if you ladies will excuse me I gotta find a partner" Mar said as he stretched his tail upwards to the trees, grabbed something and lightly stepped into the crook of his tail

"Top floor, going up" Mar said as he ascended to the trees, out of sight

"He's an idiot" Blake said

"An idiot who just saved our skin and at least HE has a sense of humor" Yang said before the two started walking, after a few seconds of silence, Blake broke it

"You don't…think my ass is plump…do you" Blake asked Yang

"You ain't the only one girl, I say be proud of the junk in the trunk…I know I am" Yang said, Blake then used her right hand to feel her ass and Mar was right, it WAS plump

(With Lance)

Lance was simply walking be aware of his surroundings, keeping an eye out for any Grimm before he stopped and picked up on something, suddenly two Beowulf's sprinted out of the bushes but then Lance drew his sword weapon (Which is like the three-bladed sword from "The sorcerer and the sword" if you don't know what that looks like, look it up) Lance then fired the blades on either side of the middle blade at the two Grimm, which hit them in their heads, killing them instantly but they stood up right for a moment in a wobbly motion

"Play dead boys" Lance said before the two Grimm drop to the ground dead

"GOOD BOYS" Lance said before he held out his sword handle and using magnetic attractors the blades that were fired at the Grimm were retracted to where they started, Lance then sheathed his weapon but before he could continue onward, he could feel someone was watching him

"Come out…I can feel your eyes on me, whoever you are" Lance called out before Thaddeus came out

"That was quite impressive, Lance where did you get the idea for using magnetic attraction technology in a ranged weapon" Thaddeus asked

"I've had Enforcer with me a long time, I've torn her apart, put her back together and modified her so many times…honestly I've lost count" Lance answered

"So, it's a versatile weapon, interesting" Thaddeus said

"Well, what about you just taking a nice stroll through the forest" Lance asked

"Just looking for a partner I can work with…you have one" Thaddeus asked

"Not yet, but it looks like we've locked eyes…SOOOOO that makes us" Lance was implying

"That we are partners" Thaddeus asked, Lance then held out his right hand to Thaddeus

"Put her there, partner" Lance said, Thaddeus then shook his hand

"A pleasure" Thaddeus said

"So, where do you think the S.F members are hiding out" Lance asked

"Not sure but" Thaddeus was about to say before his ears were picking up on something, Lance noticed this

"What is it" Lance asked

"Trouble nearby…someone's in trouble" Thaddeus said

"Think we should help em out" Lance asked

"We shall" Thaddeus said

"Ha, ha, I'm liking you already Thad" Lance said before the two sprinted off

(Back with Weiss)

Weiss was surrounded by Beowulf Grimm, looking to rip her into pieces, she then drew her Rapier

*Stay calm Weiss, remember your training, head up, shoulders back, right foot forward, slow your breathing, wait for the right moment to strike AND* Weiss said mentally as she rotated her revolver in her rapier before she charged at the supposed leader of the Beowulf's but then Ruby suddenly got in the way, forcing Weiss to stop and miss her target, setting a tree on fire with her dust fire element, A Beowulf then slashed at Ruby but she blocked it, colliding with Weiss a bit

"WATCH IT" Ruby told Weiss

"You watch it, you attacked out of term, I could have killed you" Weiss replied

"You'll have to try a lot harder than that" Ruby stated as more Beowulf's arrived, surrounding them

"This isn't good" Ruby stated

"What gave you your first clue" Weiss asked, suddenly a black blur rushed at incredible speeds, passing through the Beowulf's around the girls, it saw so fast, they couldn't see it, but eventually, in front of them appeared Thaddeus, wielding his triple blade gauntlets, he then withdrew the blades as the Beowulf's wobbled in place for a bit before they separated into several pieces

"Thaddeus, where did you come from" Weiss asked him

"We heard trouble not too far away" Thaddeus answered as Lance wasn't far behind him

"Everyone okay here" Lance asked

"We're okay" Ruby answered

"Wait, were you two following us" Weiss asked

"No, we were around" Lance answered as he looked at the burning tree

"Um, who set the woods on fire" Thaddeus asked them, Ruby then pointed to Weiss

"Hey, if you didn't step in my way then I wouldn't have missed" Weiss replied

"Well, excuse me, I was trying to help you since you were outnumbered" Ruby replied

"WHO SAYS I WANTED ANY HELP" Weiss shouted as she stormed off

"Worst…friend…ever" Ruby stated as she sat on the floor of the forest, Lance and Thaddeus then looked at each other

"I'll see if I can talk to Weiss" Thaddeus said before he went after Weiss, Lance then looked down at Ruby and offered her his hand

"Come on" He told her

"We going to the temple together" She asked him

"No, you're going with Weiss, she's your partner" He told her, helping her to her feet

"Ex-partner, she is the most stubborn, rudest and most…most…most…AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH, I CAN'T EVEN COME UP WITH A WORD TO DESCRIBE HER" Ruby yelled, stomping her feet

"She's a Schnee…and she's starting out like you Ruby, she probably hasn't had to trust someone else other than her family…try to put her in your shoes" He told her, she then frowned

"How about you give her another chance" He told her

"But what if she" Ruby was about to say

"No if's, and's or but's about it Ruby…she's supposed to be your partner and you're supposed to be hers it takes time to build a partnership" He told her, Ruby thought about it for a second before she answered

"Well…okay" She told him

"That'a girl" Lance said before they walked off in Weiss's direction, not knowing that trouble wasn't far behind them

(With Ozpin and Glynda)

The two were watching everything that was unfolding, many initiatives were already getting into the swing of things and finding partners

"Hmm…everything seems to be coming along rather nicely" Ozpin stated

"Yes some of the student that are partnering up should do well…but, the others, a reckless scythe wielder, an heiress of the Schnee family, a girl who doesn't talk to anyone and a hyperactive blond…hardly the matchup for a team" Glynda stated

"We're you trained to see more than what's on the surface" Ozpin asked her

"That is hardly the point now…by the way professor, what did you use for relics this time" Glynda asked Ozpin but he didn't answer as he was looking at images of the random teams from the forest footage

"Professor" Glynda asked as Ozpin continued to watch things unfold

AND ANOTHER RONE BITS THE DUST

I think things are going VERY well here guys, I hope you all think so as well and things will only get better and better, you have my promise on THAT

But until next time, say it with me

NINJA VANISH!
