Enjoy.

Ozpin stood at the edge of the cliff, his tablet in hand. True to his word he hadn't interfered with any of the students progress, but the evaluation was going well. Individually, he watched several of his students most notably Ruby Rose, whom he met several days before, having been the one to invite her to his academy in the first place. She seemed to be doing well in the initiation, though he couldn't say her choice of teammates was the best since Weiss Schnee was a bit of a bossy brat, though he couldn't deny her combat abilities. But even then the to would learn to work together in time.

Still, despite his best efforts he still couldn't make out if ANY of the students showed a certain quality he had been looking for.

His musing was interrupted by Glynda behind him; she too was monitoring the students calling out if there were any teams being formed. "The last pair has been formed, sir. Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. Poor boy... I can't possibly imagine those two getting along. Still, he's probably better off than Miss Nikos." She muttered with disappointment and disdain.

Glynda huffed as she looked at the pair on her tablet "I don't care what his transcripts say. That Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat. I guess we'll find out soon enough."

Ozpin glanced at her, almost laughing. She knew what Jaune was getting into, but there were extraneous circumstances and unfortunately, Ozpin would need all the help he could get. Jaune Arc might be rough around the edges, but he had the heart of a Hunter, and that's just what Ozpin was looking for.

"At their current pace, they should reach the temple within just a few minutes. The elder woman said turning around and walking away from the cliff "Speaking of which, what did you use as relics this year? She asked curiously, though her companion did not respond. "Professor Ozpin?"

The man remained silent gazing at the screen of his tablet with piercing eyes.

Skylar and Robin walked along the forest towards what they believed was the direction of the temple. Like the old man had said it was to the north. And having grown up it ATLAS of all places, Skylar was sure which direction was north. They seemed to make making good time, but the problem was that other than their brief encounter with the Beowolf, nothing was happening…. Aside from a small fire seemingly starting on it own in the distance, while the sounds of fighting seemed to erupt every one in a while, suggesting other students were nearby, but neither party had seen anything as of yet.

Of course the objective WAS to just gather the relic, but Skylar was kind of hungry for some action. So far he was disappointed. The only upside was that Robin was good company for this trip.

The two chatted amicably, whist still keeping their guard up for any wandering Grim. Skylar learned that Robin was actually from Mistral, but her mother moved to vale in order to allow her to attend Beacon, like she had in her youth.

It was quite nice that the two seemed to be able to get along, but If nothing started happen son, then thy might just end up going stir crazy.

Thankfully, something DID happen, a sudden, loud WOOSH occurred overhead. Glancing up, the two hunters saw a Giant nevermore, but that wasn't the weird part. Caught up n its talons were two girls. Skylar recognized them from the locker room. One of them was wearing black with a red cape, her hair black with red tips. Even at the briefest of moments with her several feet above the forest canopy he could tell that her eyes were silver not unlike his own. Though he never met her directly, he remembered from the locker room hat the sister of the blonde he met, though he couldn't recall her name. The other made his heart stop dead in his chest.

Her hair was white as snow; her eyes pale like the blue moonlight; skin as clear as porcelain. With a name that befit her appearance. Weiss Schnee. Like her apparent partner, she too was unfamiliar to the young man as they hadn't met at all, but he hated her family with a passion that was matched only by few individuals.

Skylar watched as the Nevermore few off into the distance, the two girls screaming (though it seemed they were yelling at each other than in terror). He and Robin looked at each other "you saw that too right?" Robin asked" I don't think we should leave them alone to face a Nevermore Skylar shrugged, "our job is to look for the relic; the nevermore was flying North. If anything they're our best bet to find the temple"

Together the two raced after the Nevermore.

Helen sighed, not knowing whether to cry scream or straight up murder her partner. Princeton just didn't know when to quit. The entire time she had been walking with him, he kept commenting on either his skills as a Hunter or Helen's incomparable beauty. Normally this would flatter her but the fact she had to put up to this sort or thing throughout her life made her uncomfortable.

Just before she came to Beacon, her parents had told her that ONE of their friend's sons had wanted her hand in marriage. The funny thing was, she hadn't met him. Naturally the conversation had gone south after that. After an hour of arguing, she fled the house and emptied a small amount of money from her bank account, before fleeing to Beacon. Her parents hadn't contacted her since, either trusting her to return or be at Beacon. She could thank them that much at the very least.

Om the other hand, Paris's bragging was making her wish she had stayed to meet her Fiancé'. At the very least he couldn't possibly be THIS bad…

Her musings were cut short when a loud scream pierced the air. She looked around wildly as did Paris. "Did you hear that?! Some girl is in trouble!" she shouted. Paris laughed in response. I don't think that was a girl." he pointed to the east. Helen followed his gaze and she saw a young blonde dressed in a casual outfit covered by armor flying through the air. It seemed to the two hunters in training that he had been thrown "How?" Helen began only to be interrupted by a young redheaded woman rushing out from the forest followed by a massive deathstalker. Thankfully, it seemed it hadn't noticed Helen or Paris, chasing the redhead deeper into the forest.

Paris it seemed liked what he saw. "Oh I am definitely making her mine." He chucked with relish before chasing after the deathstalker.

Helen stood there dumbfounded before Paris's words caught up to her brain "ARRRRRRRRRRGH!" she yelled "That insufferable egotistical playboying JERK! " she shrieked angrily, before chasing after her wayward partner

Meanwhile Yang stood at the ruins that served as the objective point for the students, with her partner Blake Belladonna at her side. The two had met the night before and while Yang dint know her very well aside from reading books, she seemed pretty handy in a fight sneaking behind an Ursa Yang had been fighting and killing it with one swift blow. Together the two had managed to reach the temple without running into any Grimm, where they found the chess pieces that they assumed were the Relics Professor Ozpin wanted them to find.

They were about to retrieve one when they heard a scream.

"Some girls in trouble!" Yang told Blake, turning to look in the direction of the scream. Blake on the other hand looked up, ignoring Yang. "Blake did you hear that?" Yang asked waving her hand to get her friends attention. Blake only pointed up, causing Yang to follow her gaze and needless to say she was shocked at what she saw: Ruby Rose her younger half sister was falling towards the ground at an alarming rate.

"Heads uuuuuuuuuuuuup!" Ruby called her eyes wide with fear as she saw her life flash before her from her birth to every event before she ended up at Beacon. However before she could even come close to the ground, she felt an extremely fast and extremely heavy mass hit her side , intercepting her flight path and sending them both into a nearby tree.

Yang's eyes widened, barely registering Blake's question Did your sister just fall from the sky?!" she asked rhetorically. Not that Yang would have answered that anyway. "I…" the Blonde was interrupted by the sound of trees falling in the forest, and she and Blake turned to see an Ursa collapse on the ground, a hyperactive Ginger rolling off its corpse. "ahh, its broken" the girl said as if she had been playing with a toy. A young man Yang recognized as her companion emerged from the trees looking quite winded. "Nora…. Dot do that again!" he whined, trying to catch his breath as he held onto the Ursa remains.

However when he looked up a wasn't to be seen. She had instead of listening to her friend instead she skipped her way over to one of the chess pieces a white rook, and picked it up, starting to sing happily "I'm Queen of the castle! I'm Queen of the castle!" while dancing with the rook in hand

Her friend it seemed didnt like that "NORA!" he barked angrily, causing Nora to stop. She smiled, stopping her dance. She secured her grip on the rook and walked back towards her friend "Coming Ren!"

"Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?" Blake asked "I…" Yang responded again, unable to form the correct words as once again, she was interrupted by the another arrival, this time a young redhead being chased by a Deathstalker, followed by two more students a blond amazon and a brunette butler.

Could this day get any weirder?!

Skylar and Robin emerged from the trees having followed the Nevermore, they found themselves on a cliff overlooking a temple. Skylar grinned, it seemed he had been right. In front of the temple stood the blonde brawler as well as her sister two unfamiliar students and a familiar blacked haired young woman "Blake." He whispered. He was glad to see that she had made it this far, not that he expected any less

Unfortunately his cry was drowned out by the Blonde suddenly screaming, her hair setting itself on fire" I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! CAN EVERYONE CHILL OUT OF 2 SECONDS BEFORE SOMETHING CRAZY HAPPEN AGAIN?!" she yelled in anger, flailing around wildly. What was she so angry about?

Alas Skylar had no time to wonder for loud piercing cry from above caught his attention. He looked up to see Weiss still in the nevermore clutches, while Robin took notice of a deathstalker chasing another student followed closely by Helen and Paris

"Skylar!" she called, causing the boy to look at her "go after the nevermore! I'll take the death stalker!" Skylar nodded, before looking back at the Nevermore, seeing Weiss falling. Acting quickly, he jumped, managing to intercept Weiss fall. Grabbing her bridal style in his arms, he did a summersault in midair ad managed to land on his feet, on the forest floor. Skylar then stood up, Weiss Schnee still in his arms, giving him a look of shock and amazement. Giving Weiss a fake smile, Skylar just gently put her down, Weiss still somewhat in shock. "You're welcome." he said, before, they heard a loud cry of the nevermore. Skylar and Weiss watched as the nevermore began chasing after Weiss's partner, who so had the deathstalker on her trail. Both her sister and Robin were chasing after her, but unfortunately the nevermore was faster attacking he younger girl with its feathers. While she was able to dodge several of them, one managed to pin her cape, preventing the girl from escaping the deathstalker, which raised its stinger to impale its victim.

"RUBY!" the blonde bombshell cried as she and Robin were stopped in their tracks by the feathers.

That seemed to wake up Weiss, who suddenly zoomed passed Skylar and reached Ruby, taking her sword and stabbing it into the ground, encasing the deathstalkers stinger in ice.

With the deathstalker incapacitated for now, Skylar raced back to Robin, who made her way towards the relics. Thankfully, it seemed Helen and her new partner had the same idea.

As he approached the ruins, he noticed Ruby and her sister approach him followed closely by Robin, the blonde hugged her sister tightly "Oh Ruby I'm so glad you're ok!" she said joyfully. Ruby it seemed didn't like this "YANG!" she whined, but returned the hug. In a way it made Skylar happy to see that these two were getting along. It reminded him of…

"Hey!" Robin said placing a hand on Skylar's shoulder. Causing him to look at her "Everything ok?" she asked gently. Skylar shook his head, clearing his mind of any thoughts. "Nothing" he sad, glancing at Yang and Ruby. Yang gave him a roguish grin an placed a hand on his chest, using two fingers to walk up his pectorals "Nice to see you too Handsome" she uttered seductively.

Robin and Ruby looked at each other wide eyed. Skylar, for his part, gently took Yang's hand of him and said "Easy Yang… you haven't even bought me dinner yet." Deadpanned, not even smiling. Yang winked at him "we'll get to that later." She whispered, before looking back towards the temple where the others were waiting. "Lets go check on he others, we don't have much time before the Deahstalker gets free"

As well, there were the other individuals who had been with Ruby, One was a ginger; the second was a calm young man. The others were a scraggily blonde and a redheaded amazon that reminded him of Helen.

Helen!" Skylar cried, looking his friend up and down "are you ok?!" the blonde rolled her eyes. "I'm fine, you should be asking Paris," she said gesturing to her partner. Said partner it seemed noticed Robin approaching from behind Skylar and pushed passed him extending his hand towards the black hired Beauty "Paris Princeton Milady." He said smoothly "how about I take you out to dinner after this?"

Robin was not amused by this, giving Paris a glare, and proceeded to punch him across the jaw. The poor man stumbled to the ground, landing in a heap. Skylar swore he could have heard everyone watching either cringe or laugh.

Skylar on the other hand, just looked at the other male with a smug smile "better luck next time, he said, Paris for his art, quickly got up, trying his best to hide his embarrassment. Before the cry of the nevermore got there attention.

As the group approached the temple, the Blonde male pointed in the direction of the nevermore "Guys that thing is circling around." He said. Judging from his voice, Skylar could tell he was scared.

Weiss it seemed was able to take command. Look there is no sense in Dilly-dallying. Our objective is right in front of us." She gestured to the pieces in front of them. There were several sets of them, including Knights Rooks and Kings among others, both black and white.

"She's right!" Ruby piped up "our objective is to grab an artifact and meet back at the cliff. There's no point in fighting these things."

"Run and live" the blonde male said. I can live with that plan"

Skylar sighed, looking at Robin Helen and Paris, "Lets grab one then", he told his friends. Together the Quartet waked towards the black chess pieces on the far side of the circle.

Skylar looked at the remaining pieces. The bishops were gone but there was still the pawn knight rook queen and and king. Looking back towards Ruby and one of her friend, he saw them pick up the white knight and rook respectively. His eyes were drawn to the corresponding black pieces.

Taking a look around, he noticed the black knight piece. Quickly, he grabbed it, before turning to Helen who grabbed the same piece. Together the four met the others, just as the death stalker finally began to break free from its Icy prison.

"Time we left!" the calm male shouted. "Lets go!" Ruby shouted as she led the way back towards the cliff.

Some of you MIGHT of noticed hints in this chapter. If you think you know what is going to happen, take a guess.
