Hey guys, I know that it seems I'm focusing on one story and that's not completely true. I am focusing on others but I can only do one at a time, it's not easy to do all this crap. If you're wondering where the next chapter for ADVOAJ is, it's coming, it's just hard when it comes to making something from scratch. I just wanna get the teams out of the way before I continue other stories.
(Deep inside Emerald Forest)
"Hey, where're you going Heaths?" Derek asked as they were walking around.
"We're going to the temple and getting a relic then heading back to Beacon." Heather said annoyed. "So help me, if I get a bad grade because of you…" She scoffed.
"You'll whip my butt, got it. But you don't need to act so punkish." He said making her groan.
"I'm being punkish? I'm being punkish? This coming from the guy who used to spray graffiti on almost anything and used his semblance to blend in with the wall so that he couldn't get caught." She said back even more annoyed as they stopped walking.
"That was because I didn't know it was bad back then, plus, we're gonna make the best team. People are gonna look at us all around and think: Wow, Derek and Heather are so cool… and I wanna be their friend. You pretty much gotta shape up your mood around others if you want a good grade anyway, since there'll be two other people during our time here." He said as he wrapped his arm around her only for it to be shoved back as they continued on.
(With Ash)
Ash was going back and forth with several Beowolves, each one of them tried surprise attacking him but it always failed because unlike them, he wasn't stupid enough not to hear them growling try and sneak up. With each slash of his sword one by one of the Grim were being taken down.
As for Greninja, this was nothing compared to fighting in order to protect Diancie or battles in the Gyms they fought in, knowing the Grim were soulless creatures Greninja didn't have to hesitate to get his hands bloody. (Though technically Grim don't bleed) He used his Water Shuriken to pierce through the Beowolves' skin, his Water Pulse which broke their heads off, his Double Team was even enough to confuse them.
Soon all that was left were the corpses of Grim lying on the ground, their eyes going dark showing that they all died. "Not bad for our first time, am I right?" Ash asked as Greninja nodded before he began to stumble. "Whoa, whoa." His trainer went to his aid. He looked around, they did just go through an army of Beowolves. "Maybe you should take a break, there're no Pokemon Centers in this world so… you're gonna have to lay back for a while. Get a good rest buddy." Ash said as his Pokemon nodded before returning to his ball.
The boy continued on his journey to the temple and quest to find his friend Weiss before anyone else finds her. Unfortunately, that second quest had a 50% chance of it failing, he knew that with all the students in this school there probably was gonna be someone else to be her teammate. He was snapped from his thoughts when he heard another growl coming from behind him. He slowly turned around and spotted a big Ursa right in front of him.
"Oh, boy… you're a big one, an't cha?" He said knowing it couldn't understand him. It roared out in hunger as it stood on two legs ready to attack.
"Alright!" A familiar voice shouted as Shard jumped out of the bushes, grabbing the Grim by the neck then slamming down like a wrestler. He then put it in a choke hold while getting back up on his feet still squeezing its neck. "Lights out buddy!" He yelled before he snapped the Ursa's neck and its eyes went black.
He brushed off his hands before looking up making eye contact with the boy in front of him, seeing his surprised face. One of his fox ears twitched and looked down before giving the Grim a little kick just to make sure he put it down, then looked back at Ash with a smile.
"How ya doing, partner?" He said before walking over to him.
"Oh, uh… great. Other than going through an army of Beowolves, I'm kinda fine." Ash said as they did a little fist bump.
"C'mon, initiation an't gonna last forever." Shard said as they began walking off to who-knows where.
"Oh… right, heh." The boy said as he was following. 'Man, Weiss is not gonna be happy when she finds out about this. Guess I have to press on and hope that she'll get over it soon enough.' He thought to himself.
(Back at the cliffs)
"Our last pair has been formed, sir. Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren." Glynda stated as she watched the video footage of the two making eye contact. "Poor boy, I can't possibly imagine those two getting along." She said feeling bad for said boy. "Still, he's probably better off than Ms. Nikos." She said changing the footage to Pyrrha and Jaune.
"I don't care what his transcripts say, that Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat." She said as she changed the footage again, this time to Heather and Derek. "I guess we'll find out soon enough, besides he has made a few friends at this school."
"I'm sure he'll do just fine, though I am still a little surprised after learning about one of our other students." Ozpin stated.
"Yeah well, speak of the devil..." Glynda then said as she changed to show Ash and Shard. "You're not the only one, no one expected this. I knew that he probably had a child, but I never thought I'd see the day when his son would come to us." She stated as she watched them get along so well.
"He does seem to have already adapted to this world, and that's a good thing, we are gonna need all the help we can get in case we are to go to war with you-know-who." He stated again as he looked at her seriously for a second.
"We'll just see what his semblance might be during his time here." She said as she turned off her tablet. "At their current pace they should reach the temple within a few minutes, whoever else is to be his teammates I'm sure they will get along." She then began walking off as Ozpin remained where he was.
(Flashback)
Ozpin sat at his desk with another man in his office while he was looking through a list of student who have sent their transcripts over to him, there were quite a few who seemed to catch his eyes at some point but he continued on ether way.
"So, let me get this straight: This boy faked his transcripts and you're letting him in anyway?" The man asked confused.
"Yes, that is my intention. While this boy might not seem like it, I'm sure one day he'll show great strength and responsibility." He replied as he continued looking through the list.
"Hey, your lost buddy." The man said back as he took out his portable alcohol bottle and took a swig at it.
"You are prepared for this mission, aren't you?" Ozpin asked with a little concern.
"Oz, Oz, Oz… I'm a professional huntsman who's been to this school for you know how long now, I can handle it." The man told him while putting his bottle away.
"And I have no doubts that you shall succeed, though I am a little concerned with what condition you'll return in." He stated back, then he noticed two new ones pop up on his screen. "Oh, it's seems another few have decided to join."
"And who might that be?" The man asked.
"Well the first is an interesting one, Weiss Schnee…" Ozpin stated as the sound of her last name caused his friend to roll his eyes. "I know, I know. You still understand that you two are on the same side though, so I hope you won't see this as a problem." He said to him as he took a sip from his mug.
"Whatever, is that all?" Was all the man said.
"Only one more, Weiss Schnee and…" He stopped with a shocked face when he spotted one name on the list.
"What? What's the hold up, who's the other one?" the man asked confused.
He hesitated at first. "…A-Ash Ketch'em." He said out loud as the same shock filled his friend's face.
Both of them couldn't believe if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, but it was true, that boy… "O-okay, very funny Oz." The man said expecting it to be a joke until he saw his expression. "Oh, crap you're serious."
(Flashback over)
(Emerald Forest)
Heather and Derek were still wondering the forest still lost trying to find the forest temple but they had to stop as they heard gunfire. "Huh, wonder how close the others are." Derek stated.
"UGH! We passed this same tree with that cut in it five times, we're just walking in circles now." Heather said annoyed. "Okay, just walk straight forward no curves, no nothing. As future leader of this team, I shall not be the idiot." She said as she began marching ahead.
"Who says you'll be the leader?" He asked with some doubt.
"What did you just say?" She growled which made him flinch.
"Hey, just saying, someone else could…" He began.
"In case you've forgotten, I was the smartest girl in class during Junior High. And Professor Ozpin, being none the wiser, would no doubt choose the oblivious decision unlike you jokes." She gloated.
"Heather, what's going on? You and I were great and close friends back then but ever since 5th grade you've just suddenly… well… you started just being mean to people for no reason." He asked her with a little concern.
"That does not matter to you. If I wanted tell someone I'll tell them, but right now we're not to focus on i-AAAAHHH!" Heather began saying until she fell down a cliff.
"Heather!" Derek shouted running over to see if she was okay and was relieved to see that she was hanging from her vest being caught on a rock.
"Little help over here?" She asked annoyed.
He just breathed in a sigh before looking up. "Hey Heather, I think we found the temple." He said to her while pointing ahead.
She looked to where he was pointing and spotted ruins with several small pillars with what they could only assume were the relics on top of them. "Whew… told you we were going the right way." She said to him.
(Later)
They got down to the temple but found that someone beat them to it. "Oh, hi." Yang greeted them.
"Sup." Derek said back, Heather just ignored her and went to one of the pillars.
"Chess piec-Are these seriously the relics?" She asked annoyed.
"Yeah, we weren't exactly the first to get here." Yang said back to her.
"Well, it's not like this place is very difficult to find. I wouldn't be surprised." Blake stated.
"Not difficult to find? It took us forever to get here." Derek stated while waving his arms as Heather sighed annoyed and just took a piece.
(With Ash and Shard)
The two were walking through the forest getting to know each while talking about more about themselves since they were gonna be teammates, of course Ash had to keep some things quiet for reasons. "Hey, you know I've never asked you before but… what's your semblance?" The fox boy had to ask.
"My Semblance?" He asked back.
"Yeah, you know, like your own super power. Mine is strength, I can lift boulders ten times the weight and size of a car." Shard explained to him.
"Whoa, cool." He replied.
"I never actually tried it, but I'm sure I can one day." The fox boy corrected himself quickly. "So, your Semblance?" He asked again.
"Oh, right. Well, the thing is, I don't know what my semblance is." Ash told his partner.
"Really?" He asked as the boy just nodded. "Wow, you are lucky to even get into this school then." He stated as the boy blushed in embarrassment.
They continued to walk around searching for the temple when they heard what sounded like girl screaming in a high-pitched voice. Shard having more sensitive hearing covered his fox ears while Ash just ducked down covering his ears. After it lowered a bit, they looked around and heard it was coming from a cave nearby. When they got closer to investigate, Pyrrha ran out of the entrance.
"Take cover!" She warned them, which got them confused until they saw a Death Stalker break out of the cave with Jaune holding onto its stinger screaming.
"AHHH! WHY? AHH! PYRRHA!" He began screaming at the top of his lungs. "PYRRHA, THIS IS NOT THE RELIC! IT'S NOT! AHHH! DO SOMETHING!" He pleaded.
"Don't worry, Jaune! We'll get you down!" Shard shouted up to his friend.
"Whatever you do, don't let…" Pyrrha was trying to tell him until he got flung off to who knows where. "…go." She finished as her and the two boys got ready to fight the Grimm. Unfortunately, instead of fighting it, Pyrrha smiled awkwardly then made a run for it, the others looked back at it for a second then followed her example.
Me: Well, I think that does it for this cha…
Audience: BOOOOOO!
Me: W-what? Hang on, it's already too long I can't extend this any further. Look can't you just wait until next...?
Man: *Throws his shoe* BOOO! You stink!
Me: Alright, alright! I'll continue… jeez…
Ash, Shard and Pyrrha were currently fleeing from a giant scorpion monster, which in Grimm terms is called a Dark Stalker… N-NO WAIT! I mean Death Stalker, not that show! Gross! Who writes these scripts? Tell him if he does this joke again he's fired!
A-anyways… Ash, Shard and Pyrrha were currently fleeing from a giant scorpion monster which in Grimm terms is called a Death Stalker, heading in the direction their friend got flung to. Panting and sweating from all the intense.
"That thing is huge!" Shard yelled out.
"Well, when you compare it to the size of an Ursa, yes it's huge!" Ash yelled back.
After running for who knows how long they made it out of the forest into the temple ruins, Ash tripped as the Death Stalker ran past him. It attempted to snap on Pyrrha and Shard but they dodged the incoming attacks.
"Jaune!" Pyrrha called out his name.
In the tree Jaune heard his teammate's call. "Pyrrha!" He called, looking around.
Ruby jumped down and was greeted with a familiar face. "Ruby?" Yang said confused.
"Yang." She said ready for a hug.
"Nora!" Until Nora got in the way.
Ash got up using his sword then shook his head. "Did they just run all the way here with a Death Stalker on their tails?" Blake questioned.
"I don't know, do you always have to point out the obvious?" Heather put her two-sense in.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! COULD EVERYONE JUST CHILL FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE SOMETHING CRAZY HAPPENS AGAIN!?" Yang screamed as a burst of fire engulfed her.
Derek looked at her with a freaked-out face, Ren just arrived, Nora looked ecstatic, and Ruby, Heather and Blake were more focused on the sky. "Um… Yang?" Ruby said as she calmed down and the rest looked at the sky.
Only to see Weiss hanging from the talon of a giant bird a.k.a. a Nevermore screaming. "I said jump." She then said again.
"She's gonna fall." Blake came in.
"She'll be fine."
"She's falling." Ren then said.
Ash finished brushing off the dust left over when he saw everyone looking at the sky, he looked up and saw Weiss falling. "Oh, boy…" He said as it was his time to play the role of hero.
He took out his sword, turned the dial to fire dust, then blasted himself into the air with his arms wide open catching the 'damsel in distress' in a bridal style then landing on the ground without breaking a sweat.
"You okay?" He asked as she just nodded slowly blushing. He saw and quickly turned away before blushing himself, which made the two look at him teasingly. "What?" He asked confused.
"You guys gonna do it yet?" Yang teased as Derek took out a camera and took a picture.
"Ha, look at you two right now. Don't just stand there, kiss already." He said as he got ready for another picture until they realized what they meant and quickly separated with completely red faces.
"Oh, come on. That was so cute!" Yang said teasingly again.
"Uh, guys?" Jaune called over as they looked and saw him hanging from a tree. "A little help."
"I got this." Derek said as he took out his staff which turned into a shotgun, he aimed it at the branch and shot it.
Jaune yelled as he fell from to ground landing on his stomach. "…Ow…" He said weakly.
"Wait, hold on. Do you have a partner Ash?" Weiss quickly asked the boy.
"Well…" He was about to say until he spotted Shard flying through air yelling as he landed near the group. "Pretty much." He finished.
"Dang it!" She said out loud clearly annoyed.
Then Pyrrha landed near as well. "Okay, now the gangs all here." Yang stated.
"Ugh… good to know." Shard stated as he walked over.
"All together so we can die together." Heather said sarcastically.
"Not if I can help it!" Ruby said as she ran to the Death Stalker.
"Ruby wait!" Yang called over.
The red hooded girl ran with her scythe ready to strike, but the scorpion got the first hit. "D-do-don't worry! Totally fine!" She yelled to her friends as she shot at the creature before bolting.
Yang ran as quick as she could over to her, but luck was still on no one's side. The nevermore shot its feathers down at them catching Ruby's cape and keeping Yang from getting her. "Ruby get out of there!" Yang yelled over scared for her little sister.
Ruby tried desperately to get her cape out of the quill, but it was no use… finally no Silver scolding us. "Crap!" Ash yelled as he was about to run over until Wiess burst past him.
Just before the stinger managed to get her Weiss created an ice using her glyph and stopped it right where it was. He watched them start talking before the snow girl walked away, he breathed in relived and fell to his knees.
"Hey, hey, hey. Come on, we're not done just yet. We still got a cliff to head to." Shard said as he picked him off the ground by shirt like it was no problem.
"Right." He replied as they walked back to the group.
"Guys, that thing's circling back. What are we gonna do?" Jaune asked nervously.
"Look, there's no sense in dilly-dallying. Our objective is right in front of us." Weiss stated looking towards the remaining Chess Pieces.
"She's right, our mission is to grab an artifact and make it back to the cliffs. There's no point in fighting these things." Ruby told everyone.
"Fair point, we're not getting anything out of fighting them anyway." Shard stated as he, Ruby and Jaune went to the last three pillars grabbed the last chess pieces before looking at each other one last time.
The Death Stalker was still trying to break free as the ice it was trapped in began to break. "Time, we left." Ren stated.
"Right, let's go." Ruby said to everyone as they began to head for the cliffs.
No one noticed but, on their way, a certain Grimm had its eyes fixed on them.
After running for who knows how long, the Nevermore caught up with them which made them all separate. Ash was with Blake and Weiss, Derek and Heather were with Ruby and Yang, Shard was with Jaune and Pyrrha, and Ren was with Nora. The Nevermore landed on top of the building in front of the cliff, keeping them from getting to it.
"Well, that's great." Yang said annoyed as the Death Stalker then made its way into the field as well.
"Aw, man. Run!" Jaune said as the teams split again.
"Nora, distract it." Ren told his friend as she did what she was told and ran around the field.
Quills were shot at her, but she was able to dodge easily. She turned her hammer into a blaster and shot at it, direct hit. The Death Stalker was about to get her but Ren, Blake and Heather attacked giving Weiss time to get Nora out of there.
Everyone was now crossing the bridge while fleeing from said Grimm attacking them, with terrible luck the Nevermore destroyed the bridge separating them again. Ash, Shard, Derek and Heather flew the furthers back to the pillars just behind the Death Stalker.
"Ugh, as if this day couldn't get any worse." Heather said annoyed. The moment she finished here sentence, the four heard a giant roar from behind them.
"You just had to Jinx it, didn't you?" Shard sarcastically asked annoyed as a giant elephant Grimm known as a Goliath burst out of the forest.
"Oh, you're kidding me." Derek said annoyed as they got their weapons ready or in Shard's case, his fists.
Heather was the first, she got a running start as did the Grimm as it tried charging her only to miss as she jumped over onto its head then shot bullets at his back where there was less protection. It stopped and cried out in pain, giving Ash a chance to attack as he ran forward then slashed at one of its legs three times before bailing then changing the dial to shoot fire which did knock it back a little.
It then got shot by Derek's bullets and it turned to see where he was, it then roared and began charging at him but was stopped by Shard holding it down by its tusk. "I told you my semblance is strength!" He yelled over to Ash as he picked it up by its tusks and threw it against a boulder.
Heather then came down stabbing one of the creature's eyes with her hidden blade causing it to roar out in pain throwing her off letting her land. Ash looked back and saw that the others were holding their own against Nevermore and Death Stalker, as the Nevermore was the only thing they were going up against now.
(Red Like Roses Part 2)
He smiled then went back to his fight. The Goliath tried to attack Heather with its trunk but Derek was in time to stop it as he wacked it back with his staff, then went ahead to attacking its face back and forth doing a good amount of damage.
She then shot bullets with him giving Ash time to go for it as he jumped onto its head then stabbed his sword into its head which brought it to freak out and thrash around which knocked him off, however he was then grabbed by the tail by Shard who then swung him around sending him flying into some trees.
Ash took the chance to fire electricity at the beast paralyzing him completely. Just like that the three started firing bullets or in our cap boy's case, dust attacks at the Goliath weakening it. Then the fox boy ran over to the thing, grabbed it by the tusks then pulled it towards the cliff while it was still paralyzed.
While doing so, the other two ran over to help him by pushing from behind. With enough strength Shard threw it down into the cannon and watched it fall out of sight until he heard a loud crash, even from how far that thing was.
The fox boy then fell to the ground back first exhausted, breathing heavily and sweating bullets. "Hey, you okay." He heard as he looked up to see the three that helped him during the fight.
"… *pant*, n-never… be-better…" He said trying to find words to say.
"Dude… you just lift and swung a Goliath around like it was nothing, which is the best thing I have ever seen in my entire life! You are awesome man." Derek complemented him.
He then looked over at Heather. "Okay, I'll admit. You were… impressive, during that battle." She said under her breath, but it was loud enough for them to hear.
Ash helped him up and they looked ahead to see that the others were successful in their fights at well and were waving over to them, Ruby being on the cliffs. With that they all smiled at each other and went to go see them.
(Beacon's amphitheater)
It was time for teams to be formed. "Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Valkyrie… the four of you retrieved the White Rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as… Team JNPR[Juniper]." Ozpin was announcing one of the teams at this very moment as everyone began clapping for them.
"Lead by… Jaune Arc!" He stated catching the attention of the boy. "Congratulations, young man." He stated. Pyrrha tried to give a friendly shoulder bump, but accidently knocked the poor boy over.
"Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Yang Xiao Long… The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as… Team RWBY(Ruby). Lead by… Ruby Rose." He said as both Ruby and Weiss were shocked while Yang went over to hug her sister.
As for the people in the audience, Ash felt a little bad that she didn't get to be the leader but still Ruby would do just as good as a job. "Hey dude, we're next." He heard Derek say as they began walking up to their headmaster.
"Gook luck." Weiss whispered as she passed him.
"And finally, Shard Wester, Ash Ketch'em, Heather Nova, and Derek Dark… The four of you retrieved the black Knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as… Team SHAD(Shade)." He said as everyone began clapping for them. "Lead by… Shard Wester." He announced as Shard got surprised after hearing what that he was the leader. While some people were a little weirded out that a Faunus was leading humans, they all clapped anyway. "Looks like things are shaping up to be an... interesting year." Ozpin said one last word before the newly made team left the stage.
