And now the Q&A
SilentXD7:
1 - it could be fun to have D-Dog but I feel like he would be quickly eaten by a Beowolf.
2 - Do not worry, soon RWBY will see Snake's obsession with boxes.
3 - And about pairings, i guess Ruby and Yang are the most popular options, but I still don't decide on one.

Well, in the worst (and maybe funniest) case scenario this ends up being an Harem.
kerrowe:
Sounds like a cool idea actually, but I already have two ideas.
TheIncrenator:
Thanks man!
whymiiverse:
Well, I guess Snake and Qrow will met each other in some moment in the Fanfic.
Arnold:
I've also thought about it, but I still don't decide for one.

Without more to say, let's continue the story of Snake in Remnant.
Chapter 5.
Another day at Beacon Academy, in the world of Remnant, but this was a quite different day. This was the day when Big Boss would start his Initiation to be a student of Beacon, and a future Huntsmen. Boss had woken up an hour earlier, to be able to take a quick shower and prepare his gear for the Initiation. The first thing Boss did was put on his uniform, he put on the tiger striped camouflage. since he would need it in the Emerald forest, and also because it was the only uniform he had, at least for now. Also, Boss added something more to his uniform, after being dressed, he put on a scarf, which covered most of his left shoulder. This scarf was olive green, similar to his uniform, which he would use from now on. (A/N: It's like the one in MGS 5 but in the left shoulder.). He also took his NWD-W202 Walkman to hear some music.
After being dressed, Big Boss left his room, and walked down the hallway until he reached the Armory. There, Snake chose his gear, which would be the M1911 pistol, his M4 Customized, a pair of frag grenades, some flashbangs, and of course, his new sniper rifle. Snake didn't choose the Mk22, because, although it could stop a large animal with several shots, he didn't know if it would have any effect on a creature like the Grimms, it might have it, but he would need many shots, anyway, Snake would not run the risk, and he better took lethal equipment.
After having everything ready, Snake left the Armory, and made his way to Beacon's Cliff. After a few minutes of walking, Snake arrived, but there was nobody, maybe it was because he arrived early, for now the only thing he did was to observe the Emerald Forest while dealing with his own thoughts. And he could not help thinking about his current situation. And while he was doing that, he turned on his Walkman to listen some music. He put it on 'Random' and the first song he started to hear was The Man Who Sold The World by Midge Ure. A song from the early 80s, when Big Boss was still in a coma after the fall of MSF.
So... This was the current situation.
John, Big Boss, or Naked Snake, had given his life to the only thing he knew how to do: War. His whole life was about that. Fight as an agent of the CIA and FOX, later as a Mercenary around the world, mostly in Africa, and also fight against everything that represented a threat, like Zero and Cipher, even his son-clone, Solid Snake. He had to admit to himself that he would never see Solid Snake as his son, but he sees and respects him as a human being and as a soldier, and who knows what he was doing at this moment, probably he was enjoying what little he has left of lifetime, just like Boss told him before he died because of the FoxDie on David's body.
But returning to Naked Snake, he lived his life only for that, for battle, but also wanted to carry out the The Boss will, and finally when The Patriots were defeated and his life came to an end, he awakens in another planet or dimension similar to the Earth, but at the same time different. He was now young, and he kept his old memories and scars in a new young body. And now he would have to carry out an Initiation, where he would have to fight against evil creatures that threaten humans and faunus, so he can be part of Beacon Academy. Snake kept thinking for a moment about the word 'Fight', and remembered what The Boss had told him, when he had to kill her.
'The survivor will carry on the fight, it is our destiny... The one who survives will inherit the title of Boss. And the one who inherits the title of Boss will face an existence of endless battle...' The Boss words echoed in Snake's thoughts.
"I guess you were right, Boss... Even in another world, I need to keep fighting..." Snake murmured, with a small smile on his face, while he kept watching the Emerald Forest, and feeling the wind in his hair, as well as the wind blowing his long bandana. Snake would have to keep fighting, but what for? This world was new and unknown to him, quite different from Earth, there was no war, but there were enemies inhabiting this world. Snake would have to decide to do something with his new life sooner or later, and the only thing he knows how to do is fight, maybe that would be his only option.
"Mr. Snake." Said a female voice going to where Snake was. And Snake quickly recognized that voice.
"Professor Goodwitch, good morning." Boss greeted, he soon turned off the Walkman, but he leave it in his ears. "I thought Ozpin would come to say hello."
"He is in the Amphitheater." Glynda said. "I guess you are ready for your Initiation."
"Of course, but again, what exactly should I do?"
Professor Goodwitch pointed her finger deep in the forest. "You will be sent to the forest, there you will have to head north until you reach the ruins of an abandoned Temple. Once you have reached the Temple, you will have to take the Relic found there. After taking the Relic you will have to go back and climb the cliff." Glynda explained. "You will have to face 'opposition' on the forest, so don't hesitate to use everything you have. Understood?"
"I'll be careful." Snake answered, then he look down to the cliff. "...Seriously will I have to go down the cliff and then climb it again?"
"No." The Professor said. "You'll be launched into the forest." She then pointed to the pad.
"What!?"
"You will have to find your own way to land in the forest while you are in the air."
"Just great..." Boss grumbled under his breath.
At the same time in the Amphitheater...
The previous day in the night, Ozpin had sent a message to all the students' Scrolls, with notification that the first classes would be suspended, due to the Initiation of a new student. So, some students went to the Amphitheater to see the Initiation, although there was also confusion, about why a student would do the Initiation alone, and not the same day like the rest. Among those students who were in the Amphitheater, there were teams RWBY and JNPR, since from the beginning they knew that it was Snake the one in the Initiation.
Soon Ozpin went on stage, where he started talking to the students with the microphone. "Good morning students. As you were informed yesterday, the first classes have been suspended, and this morning we'll see the Initiation of a new student who recently arrived at Beacon, who, for reasons that I will not inform, will have to do it today. But still, he will do the same Initiation as you did, but he will do it alone. So take note, I'm pretty sure that this will be an interesting Initiation."
Soon the screen displayed Glynda Goodwitch on the Cliff, talking to a young man with an eyepatch, a bandana, a scarf and green clothes, with a rifle on his hip and a sniper on his back. Soon some of the students immediately recognized him.
"Hey, he's the one who beat team CRDL in the cafeteria." Said one male student.
"Yeah I remember, I think someone in the cafeteria call him Snake..." Said another male student.
"But he will do the Initiation alone? It's his funeral." Said one female student.
"Well, he looks strong, and kinda hot." Said another female student.
"Wait, what?" Asked another male student.
Some of the students continued talking among themselves about the new student with the bandana, others began to arrive at the Amphitheater and take a seat to see the Initiation.
"It seems that Snake already attracted a lot of attention." Said Pyrrha, while she, like JNR and RWBY listened to some talks of the other students about Snake while watching the screen.
"Well, thanks to him the first classes were suspended." Answered Yang with a smile. If it had been someone else's Initiation, she would definitely have preferred to stay asleep in her room.
"Still, I don't see why it was necessary to tell us the night before to see him." Said the ice queen, with her typical unfriendly attitude. But in reality she was interested in seeing that young man in action.
"Come on, this will be awesome! I want to see his weapons in action." Said the young Rose. Yang didn't mention anything about Snake making a Sniper rifle, because she knew that Ruby would run immediately to where Snake would be. But she soon saw what Snake was carrying on his back. So... "OHMYGOSHISTHATASNIPERRIFLEIWANTTOHAVEITINMYHANDS!"
"It could be interesting..." Blake she murmured as she ignored Ruby and read her book, she would leave it when Snake started in the Emerald Forest. Then she murmured again. "I wish you good luck Snake..."
Back to the Cliff...
Soon Glynda received in her Scroll the indication of Ozpin so that Snake could begin the Initiation. "It is time, stay on the pad." Glynda indicated and Snake nodded.
Snake walked to the pad, while watching the forest, there were rivers and small ponds, so he would have land somewhere in the water or he could die quickly.
"Good luck, and remember that there will be people watching you." Goodwitch added. To which Snake nodded.
"Here we go..." Snake was prepared, physically and mentally for this test. Soon he felt how the metal springs under him lifted him into the air. In the middle of the air, he watched everything about the forest, until he saw what appeared to be a pond, similar to the one he found to drink water in the night when he woke up in Remnant. Snake continued to fall, in the direction of that pond, but some trees covered his landing zone, Snake used his arms to cover his face and expect the worst. When he was about to fall to the pond, he felt the branches of the trees against his body, hitting him as he fell, until finally falling into the pond. When he realized that he had already fallen into the water, and that he was still alive, Snake started swimming to get out, at least the pond wasn't deep. Soon Big Boss managed to get out of the pond.
Snake began to breath. "Ah... Ah... Damn... At least I'm still breathing..." After a few seconds, Snake checked his uniform and his gear, he still had everything, and the pain he felt would pass in a moment, from the ground, he took some dirt and mud with his hands and began to rub it on chest, legs and arms, this would avoid being detected by the Grimm immediately. "All right, now, to the north." He said to himself, and soon began to go to the temple.
In the Amphitheater...
"Use dirt and mud to cover your essence, very smart, John." Ozpin said to himself, while he, like the other students, looked at Snake on the screen. First they saw how Big Boss fell from the air to that pond. And then he began to move to the north.
"Why would he cover himself with dirt?" Asked Jaune confused.
"Maybe he wants to hide his smell." Ren suggested.
"Or maybe he's a dirty boy." Said Nora with an innocent smile.
Back in the Emerald Forest...
Snake walked for about 5 minutes, and so far he hadn't found anything, the forest seemed quiet, but it was the home of the Grimm. Soon Snake stopped, when he heard sounds not far away from him, he was in an area with many bushes and trees, so he soon hid behind one of the bushes, while he was observing the place, but there was nothing. So Snake had an idea. He brought a cigar, Snake took it and lit the cigar with a lighter. The first thing Snake did was to smoke it for a moment, and after doing it, he threw it a few meters from his position. And soon he took his sniper rifle from his back. By taking it, he extended the buttstock and waited for a reaction.
After 15 seconds, a Beowolf appeared from the bushes, and began to walk to where the cigar was, smelling it. Snake noticed that one of the horrible creatures had appeared, and soon with his sniper rifle, he pointed at his head and shot him. The bullet completely penetrated the Beowolf's head, and the bullet stopped when it came against a tree, thus giving the Beowolf a quick death.
"Nice..." Boss murmured to himself, while pulling the bolt to put another bullet in the chamber. The sniper rifle that Snake was using is the Intervention M200, a sniper rifle made by CheyTac. Back on Earth, Boss managed to get a prototype in 1999, before the rifle was put into service in 2001. What made this rifle different from the other Interventions was that Snake modified it so that its ammunition was .50 BMG, instead of the .408 or .375 Cheyenne Tactical. He also added a suppressor, so the sound wouldn't attract more Grimm. The Intervention was black with grey, it had a bipod and the magazine had 7 rounds.
Back to the Initiation, Snake continued his way to the ruins of the Temple for another 8 minutes, when Boss listened to something close to him or saw a Beowolf from a distance with his sniper, what he did was crouch down, move in silence and crawl behind the bushes, basically he was using his infiltration skills to avoid being seen by the enemy, in this case, the enemy was the Grimm. But as he was doing it, he got to kill another Beowolf with a shot in the head.
After having 'infiltrated' deep into the forest, Snake arrived at the ruins of the Temple, and began to walk towards it. Upon entering the Temple, on three of the pillars in front of Big Boss, he saw an object in each pillar, an object that has no reason to be in a place like that, in the middle of a forest.
"Chess pieces...?" Snake murmured as he approached and took one of the 'Relics' with his right hand to see it. Seriously those things were the relics? Snake looked around but there was nothing else, and it was obvious that the chess pieces were put by someone in the Temple for some purpose. Anyway, he took one of the 'Relics' and soon began to leave the Temple. Now he would have to return to the cliff, but that would be the least of his problems.
A great roar was heard from between the trees, but it didn't sounded like a Beowolf, it was something bigger. Snake took his M4, knowing that that thing was coming to where he was. Soon the creature appeared, revealing to be a Ursa, but it was a pretty big one, so it was a Ursa Major. When Snake saw the bear-like Grimm, he knew it would take too many bullets to finish it, so he soon had an idea. Snake approached a tree, waiting for that creature. The Ursa Major let out a great roar one more time when he saw Snake, and immediately charged against him. But Snake immediately threw a small elongated object with several holes at the sides. When throwing it, Snake hid behind the tree, and then the object exploded in front of the Ursa Major.
BANG!
That object exploded, and in doing so, it let out a stunning sound and a blinding light, the grenade left the Ursa Major disoriented and confused, but above all: angry. Snake took this opportunity, after seeing that the Flashbang had worked, Snake took a frag grenade and threw it to where the Ursa Major was, and after having thrown it, he soon took his M4, and pointed at the Ursa, having him in sight, Snake squeezed the trigger of the grenade launcher, shooting to the bear-like creature, and the moment the grenade hit the Grimm, the hand grenade that Snake had thrown exploded at the same time as the other grenade, causing a big explosion, killing immediately the Ursa Major. Having exploded, Snake approached, watching as what was left of the Ursa Major disappeared in what seemed to be dust or ash that disappeared in the air.
Another Grimm less, but that big explosion would attract the attention of others Grimm near the Temple. And Boss knew that. Boss put another 40mm grenade inside the AG36 Grenade Launcher, and soon began to run with the M4 in his hands.
In the Amphitheater...
The students and the teachers saw how Snake arrived at the Temple and recovered the Relic without trouble, and then how he faced a Ursa Major without any problem. Ozpin could not help but smile at the stealth techniques that Big Boss was using, it was really impressive, how the first Ursa he found, Snake tore him to pieces in a matter of seconds. And how he came to the Temple without problems using the Infiltration. But now he would have to fight directly against the Grimms.
Meanwhile, Beacon students continued to watch Snake infiltrated the Temple. Some students thought that Snake's ability to stay in the shadows and avoid making noise was impressive, others were bored because they expected to see Snake in action and kill everything he had in sight, instead of using stealth. But when Snake met the Ursa Major and killed it, everyone was surprised to see how Snake used a grenade to disorient him and then finish it in a big explosion. And now they continued to watch the screen, now that Snake had the relic, what he had to do was leave the Emerald Forest, and he would have to fight everything that was put in front of him.
With Snake...
Snake was running among the trees, while more roars were heard, and as he turned around he noticed that he was being chased by three Beowolfs. Snake continued running and took his Intervention, being prepared, stopped and turned around, he pointed his sniper rifle at the head of a Beowolf and shoot him, killing it immediately. The second Beowolf continued running towards Snake, Snake put the Intervention on his back and then he took the M4, and immediately started firing at the Beowolf, but the Grimm didn't stop. Snake rolled aside, avoiding the attack of the Beowolf, then Snake continued firing at the skull. The bullets managed to penetrate what appeared to be a bone mask. And soon the Beowolf fell dead. There were two dead, and now one was missing.
Snake pointed his assault rifle everywhere around him, to the trees and the bushes, but the Beowolf did not appear, so Snake thought that maybe the Grimm had run away. But that was not true.
When hearing some noises behind him, Snake turned, seeing that the third Beowolf jump against him, Snake was about to shoot, but seeing the distance, snake used the M4 to cover himself from the attack of the claw of Beowolf. When attacked, the M4 was thrown far to the ground, and Snake fell to the ground, being in front of the Beowolf. Snake immediately took his knife and his M1911, he put himself in combat position, just as Beowolf was preparing to attack.
The Beowolf, with a jump, went against Big Boss, as he pointed the M1911, and then he started firing, the bullets hit the Beowolf's snout, but the bullets of the M1911 failed to do much damage, so the bullets just held the Grimm back a little, but that was enough for Boss. When the Beowolf was close enough, Snake managed to stick his knife on the Beowolf's neck, when he stuck it in, the Beowolf fell to the ground, and tried to fight to get rid of Snake. Snake took out the knife and stabbed it once more, this time in the jaw, to which the Beowolf began to slowly die.
After killing the Beowolf, Snake saved his knife and his M1911, and picked up his M4 that was on the ground, then, he continued his way to the cliff.
After a few minutes of walking through the woods, Snake was arriving near the cliff. But there was still a last obstacle in front of him.
It was not long before Snake could return to the cliff, where he would have to climb it. The problem? When passing a few shrubs and trees, a few meters away, a creature similar to a giant scorpion was present, giving him the back, but soon that thing turned around, to see Snake. Maybe the explosions and sounds of the guns of a while ago would have attracted the Death Stalker? Boss didn't know, and he certainly didn't care, the only thing he thought was that he would have to kill it. One last kill and he would pass the Initiation.
Soon Snake took his M4, and began to shoot the Death Stalker, but that thing began to move quickly to where Snake was. Snake fired his grenade launcher, in the direction of the skull of Death Stalker. After having hit the grenade in the Death Stalker's head, it exploded, and in front of Boss only smoke was left.
Boss lower his rifle, believing that the Death Stalker had been eliminated quickly.
It wasn't.
The Death Stalker appeared from the smoke and quickly went against Snake. Snake, when he saw the Death Stalker coming, ran quickly back to the trees, while using the M1911 to shoot him, but the bullets of the handgun did not penetrate his skin. but he continued to shoot him, to at least try to delay him, until he soon shoot the Grimm in one of the eye. The Death Salter let out sound of pain, and stopped for a moment.
Then he had an idea, a pretty, pretty stupid one, but if it worked, then it wouldn't be stupid.
Snake soon hid behind one of the trees, and watched the Death Stalker, which was approaching. While the Grimm was approaching, Snake was preparing a Flashbang to throw it. And at the moment when the Death Stalker was in the indicated position, Snake throw the Flashbang in front of the scorpion.
The flashbang exploded in front of the Death Stalker, leaving it disoriented, blinded, and above all angry. Snake took this opportunity and started to run, but not to escape, he ran towards the Death Stalker, with his knife at hand. Snake managed to jump to be on top of Death Stalker's head, to which the scorpion began to move abruptly, but Boss managed to stay on top. Soon he used the knife to stab one of Death Stalker's eyes, one of the biggest, while still holding on and the Grimm was not very happy about this. Quickly, Boss put down his knife and grabbed a frag grenade, removed the safety pin, and put it inside the wound of the Death Stalker's eye.
The Death Stalker, after recovering the vision and being abruptly moving, managed to get rid of Big Boss, causing him to hit his back against a tree. The Death Stalker had Boss in front of him, and was about to stick his stinger, since he looked helpless at that moment. But then...
BOOOM!
The grenade inside Death Stalker's eye exploded, the head exploded, even his blood ended up covering some parts of Snake's body. Snake let out a sigh, alleging that his stupid plan worked perfectly. Now, with nothing else on the way, he would take its way to the cliff and then return to the Academy.
In the Amphitheater...
A few minutes ago, everyone saw how the new student made the Initiation completely ALONE, where at first he used stealth to hide himself from the Grimms, kill two Beowolfs and infiltrate into the forest to get to the Temple and retrieve the relic, then, he faced a Ursa Major, a small group of Beowolfs and in the end he exploded the head of a Death Stalker. Even the teachers were surprised that someone so young had so much ability to eliminate Grimms. Ozpin and Glynda knew well why he knew how to kill them quickly, even though Snake had no experience fighting Grimms, he has experience as a soldier and as a brilliant military leader, because he was trained to survive in any environment. It was normal that with his knowledge he managed to get out of a difficult situation like that, where any other student sended alone would have died.
And obviously, when Snake started climbing the cliff, it meant that the Initiation basically was over and soon he would reach the Amphitheater, so everyone started talking about the new guy with one eye, everyone was impressed by what he had done, everything by himself.
"That... was... AWESOMEEEE!" Ruby yelled happy and excited. What Snake had done seemed incredible to her, she felt that she was in love... love for his weapons, she could finally see his M4 and the grenade launcher in action, also his grenades, and his sniper rifle, the Intervention, as a user of a sniper rifle, she wanted to have Snake's sniper rifle in her hands.
"He is a complete madman..." Weiss said with wide eyes, after watching Snake fight everything in front of him. At first she thought that his infiltration technique, although efficient, was cowardly because he was avoiding the enemies and hiding, believing that he was weak. But that thought disappeared quickly when she saw Snake fight against the Ursa Major and the Death Stalker, with which the last one made a risky attack, but he manage to defeat it, she, like the rest was also surprised and, for some reason, she was slightly blushed.
Blake didn't say a thing, but she was impressed by the stealth skills that Snake possessed when there were the first minutes of the Initiation, he was definitely someone who was like a shadow, as if the noise was his enemy. and although he soon entered into combat with the Grimms, he fought against them ingeniously and managed to emerge victorious, even in situations that seemed like Snake was about to die. Blake was really glad that Snake was fine.
And Yang couldn't be more impressed after seeing what Snake had done in the forest, killing every Grimm in front of him. She was thinking the same thing like Ruby but in a smaller scale. She definitely wanted to see everything that Snake could do, be it in combat or something else... "Madman or not, Snake really is incredible." She said, answering the Heiress opinion.
Meanwhile, Nora was talking to Ren, seeing Snake on top of the Death Stalker, Nora remembered when she was riding a Grimm when it was their Initiation, to which Ren responded that she shouldn't do that again. Never. Pyrrha thought Snake was a skilled warrior and a brilliant strategist. And Jaune thought that Snake was an incredible guy, even feeling some jealousy, as he was brave enough to face Cardin and his lackeys just to defend Velvet.
After a few minutes, soon the doors of the entrance opened, and soon the student that everyone was talking a moment ago entered the Amphitheater, although some of them were impressed to see him, since Snake was covered in Grimm blood, part of his uniform, part of his face, his scarf, and in his hair, there was blood from Death Stalker that he killed. Snake continued his way to the stage, where Ozpin and the staff of the Academy was, ignoring the looks he received.
When he was on the stage with Ozpin, Boss gave the Headmaster the 'relic' that he took from the forest. "Mr. Snake." Ozpin began to talk. "You recovered the relic that was found in the Temple of the Emerald Forest. Since you did the Initiation alone, you will be assigned to a Team later, for now, you have passed the Initiation, you are officially a student of Beacon Academy." Then Ozpin turn to see the students. "Students, this assembly is over, remember that the classes will start again in one hour. Have a nice day everyone." Soon the students between talks began to abandon the Amphitheater.
"I can't believe that I really had to go to the forest just for a chess piece." Said Big Boss slightly disappointed to the Headmaster.
"During the first Initiation, that was what all the students recovered." Ozpin said. "But I knew that you would not have problems with this, anyway, it is better that you go to take a shower, the classes should continue. And come see me at my office later."
"Yeah, I'm stinking of Grimm's blood." Snake answered. "And sure, I'll be there."
Later, Big Boss went to his dorm to wash his uniform and take a shower. The rest of the day continued almost normal, although during the classes there were people surrounding Snake, asking questions about him and his weapons, but Boss didn't answer everything. And since Snake was surrounded by many people, RWBY and JNPR could not talk to him.
8:00PM. Ozpin's Office.
Ozpin called team RWBY to his office, so the four girls got going, but they were also confused to see that Headmaster Ozpin needed them, so maybe was something important. After using the elevator and arriving at the office, the Headmaster welcome them.
"Team RWBY, welcome." Said the Headmaster to the Huntress team. "Please sit down."
"Professor Ozpin, we came as fast as we could, something bad happens?" Asked the young leader, believing that maybe they would do another mission.
But he gave a small smile. "Not at all, I wanted to ask you and your team about the new student, Snake." Ozpin said, which left the four girls confused.
"What about Snake?" Asked the blonde.
"What do you think about him?" Ozpin asked the girls, but they were just more confused.
"Well." Said Blake first. "In the Initiation he proved to be quite skilled and-" But she was stopped by Ozpin.
"I don't mean about his Initiation, I mean to him as a person."
The girls were silent for a moment. why the Headmaster was asking about his new friend? Despite knowing him recently, team RWBY had a positive opinion about him. Soon they gave their answers to the Headmaster.
Ruby was the first to speak. "Well, he has good knowledge about weapons, and he is a good friend." She said with a smile, after remembering everything they talked about weapons when Snake was modifying his M4. And when they met in the forest, she remembered when Snake killed two Beowolfs with the grenade, and he hugged her to throw both of them to the floor to cover themselves, then a small blush appeared on her face when she remembered the hug.
"I guess he doesn't seem to be weak, he seems to be someone with a strategy, he is someone smart in combat." Weiss was the one who said that, she also wanted to say that he seemed to be wise and a good person, or at least he didn't seem to have bad intentions, she remembered when they talked about Ruby and being a team leader, so Snake helped the heiress with a chat. Although she did not see Snake as a friend, in fact she was honestly grateful to him, and she wanted to know him better.
"He looks to be a strong guy, and he seems to be a great fighter in hand-to-hand combat, but definitely he is a nice guy." Said Yang with a smile on her face. When she saw Snake fight against team CRDL, she wanted to see who would win in a fight between the two of them, and she would not hesitate to challenge him to a fight at any time.
Then they all turned to see Blake, who was the last one to speak. "He seems to be... no, he is someone who sees everyone as equals, whether human or faunus, also he seems to be someone who enters and leaves as if he were a shadow" She answered. She really liked Snake, he is the first person to whom she revealed that she is faunus, and he accepted her as another person, not like something different.
So, all four had the same opinion about Snake. And Ozpin understood that. From the beginning he saw that team RWBY and Snake seemed to be getting along, or at least the four of them were with whom Snake talked mostly.
"Well, I'm glad you think about that, you see, when Snake was in the Temple, he chose this chess piece." Ozpin showed the piece that Snake chosed, it was a White Knight piece. And everyone was surprised, and they began to understand what Ozpin wanted to say.
Ruby began to talk "Wait, so that means...?" But she was interrupted by the Headmaster.
"Of course I'm not going to put a boy with four girls in a single room just like that, but it seems that you know him better, and you seem to be friends with him... So I wanted to ask you if you like the idea of having another teammate." The Headmaster asked the team. "If you don't like it, I could put him with another team."
Everyone looked at each other, and after a few seconds, they already had their answer. "Professor, we will accept Snake in team RWBY!" She said with a bright smile in her face.
"Glad to hear that." Said Ozpin with a smile. Then everyone heard that someone was using the elevator. "I suppose you can give him the news right now."
As the elevator stopped and the door opened, Snake entered Ozpin's office, still wearing his tiger-striped uniform, but the uniform was already clean. "I'm here Headmaster." Said Snake politely, since, although both spoke by their name like if they were friends, it was better to act as a teacher and student when others were around. Also, he noticed that team RWBY was in the office. "Something happens?"
"We got news for you Snakey, you are moving with us!" Yang indicated with a smile, to what Snake, confused, responded with a 'Huh'?
"I will assign you to team RWBY." Said Ozpin.
"Uh you sure? I have no problems with being alone." Snake questioned, but soon Ruby responded.
"We already decided, you are welcome with us." Ruby said with a smile, hoping that Snake would also be happy about the news.
Snake turned to see the other members of the team, Yang gave him a warm smile, Weiss kept the same expression, but she gave a slight smile and a nod, and Blake let a small but honest smile show on her face. So, Snake just let out a sigh. "All right... If everyone is fine with that, I guess I'll have to move my things, but first I would like to talk with you." Said Big Boss to Ozpin.
"Well, we'll wait for you." Ruby said cheerfully. Afterwards, she and the others said goodbye to Snake and Ozpin, then they left the office.
Then, Snake spoke once again. "Sure it's a good idea?" He asked.
"You say it because of your... true nature?"
"Yeah, I'm sure they'll ask questions sooner or later, and I don't know if they believe what I tell them, after all, they found me in a forest in the middle of nowhere."
"Well, I guess one day they'll have to know, don't you think? But for now it's better that you keep hiding it." Ozpin indicated
"Agree." He said. "Well, I guess it's better that I move my stuff."
"Sure, and I hope you don't try anything indecent with your new teammates." Ozpin said calmly, but actually he was joking.
"Come on! Do you really think I would try something like that...?" Snake asked, showing a 'Are you serious...?' face about what Ozpin said.
Ozpin just let out a small chuckle. "I know you wouldn't do something like that, but even so, you're young again and you are in a new world, you should get used to it, and start again, don't you think...?"
"Uh-huh... Right..." He said.
"Oh, before you leave, since now that you are officially a student in Beacon Academy, your scroll can act as an ID, let me show you." Ozpin began to use his computer, he took a picture of Snake with his scroll and then he showed Snake his new student ID in the computer. Boss appeared with his picture, under the name of...
"...Naked Snake..." Boss read his codename on the screen.
"That's right." He said with a small smile, then he took a sip from his coffee.
"...Really Ozpin?"
"Yes, when you arrived, you said that your codename was fine, right?" Ozpin asked.
Snake just let out a sigh, it sounded absurd that someone was named 'Naked' but if that was going to be the name of his ID, Boss would not complain. Soon Boss left the office, while Ozpin, after Snake left, began to watch the recording of Snake in the Emerald Forest.
Team RWBY Dorm room.
09:00 PM.
After the meeting between Snake and Ozpin, Snake went to his room, to take his stuff, which were not so many, in fact it was only clothes, his uniform and the clothes that he bought when he went to Vale with Coco and Velvet, and also he took one of the beds of his old room since he would need one. Now the RWBY+S dormroom had an extra bed and an extra member. But Snake after finishing leaving his things in his new dorm, he went to the Armory.
So, this was his new team.
Ruby was the youngest of them and the leader, her attitude was childish but kind and gentle, and as far as he knows she love weapons, just like Snake, so he was sure they would get along.
Weiss, when Snake first talked with her, she showed a proud and unfriendly attitude, as if others were weak or annoying, but she also knows how to understand her mistakes. Snake still didn't know her completely, so he still had to know her better, but it seemed that deep down she was a nice girl.
Blake was the the quiet and calm of the team, besides that she was a faunus, and only Snake knew it, but besides that, it seemed that she could be trusted, even if she had some secrets.
And Yang, well, unlike the rest, Snake has not talked too much with her, but his attitude was friendly, cheerful, but also seemed to be a flirty girl. But anyway, Snake would not have any problem with the blonde.
So, when it was already 10:30 PM, Snake returned to his new dorm with his new team, and so the whole team was in the dorm room. The girls decided to take a shower and put on their sleepwear, while Snake decided that it was best to take a shower in the morning. And since Snake didn't have or wear some sleepwear, Boss wore the tiger-striped pants of his uniform and the black long-sleeved tactical shirt that he use under his uniform, and obviously the bandana.
Snake was lying down in his bed, with his hands behind his head, Ruby and Yang were using their scrolls playing something, Blake was reading a book in her bed and Weiss, who was the last to shower, was coming out of the bathroom with her sleepwear and a towel in her head. "It's your turn." Said the heiress to the one-eyed man.
"I took a shower after finishing the Initiation, for now I'll be fine." Snake answered, after all, he was covered in blood, mud and dirt.
"Don't you think to put on other clothes to sleep? It's like if you slept with all your uniform." Said the blonde to Boss.
"Well, I'm not exactly someone who sleeps in pijama, I usually sleep without a shirt, or without pants, or..."
"Or...?" Said Ruby, but everyone was asking the same question.
"Naked." He answered without shame, like if was something normal, but as soon as he said that, a blush appeared on the faces of the four girls when they thought about their new teammate without clothes, although only Yang liked to think that..
"So... where are you from exactly?" Weiss asked, as the blush in her face disappered. Snake was new in the team so it was normal that Weiss, like the rest, wanted to know something about him.
"Well, I'm not from any of the 4 kingdoms." Snake said, leaving team RWBY surprised, even Blake put aside her book to look at Snake and hear what he was going to say to the team.
"Wait, but there is nothing else out of the kingdoms! Just some faunus tribes." Said again the heiress.
"I could say that I was a nomad, I never spent much time in one place, I went from here to there traveling the world." Snake explained, but obviously it wasn't their world, he was referring to his own world; Earth.
"And what about your family?" Asked Blake.
"Never had one." Snake said in a fairly calm tone, they all thought it was a sad thing, did it mean that Snake was an orphan? That's what they understood, but Snake looked pretty relaxed having answered that.
"You know." Asked Yang this time, putting aside her scroll. "Those movements that you used to fight against those idiots in the cafeteria yesterday, I wanted to ask you, how you learned to fight like that?"
Team RWBY basically knew nothing about his new teammate, besides that his way of fighting was interesting, that he didn't belong to any of the four kingdoms, maybe he was an orphan and that he seemed to have stealth techniques and was a smart fighter, so they wanted to know every little detail about him.
"That was a hand-to-hand combat style called CQC." Snake answered. Not even Yang heard about something like that.
"CQC?" Asked Ruby confused.
"The hell is that?" Asked the blonde brawler.
"It means Close Quarters Combat." He stated. "My mentor and I develop it together."
Now the four of them thought this was getting more and more interesting. "Did you have a Mentor?" Weiss asked.
"Yep, when I was younger, she took me as her disciple, and I spent years with her, learning, training, fighting, everything I learned about weapons and combat techniques was because of her." Snake answered, making it clear that his Mentor was a woman,
"So... what kind of relationship did you two have?" Asked Blake with curiosity.
"She was my master, and she was like a mother for me." Snake said.
"Like a lover~?" Said Yang joking, with a smug face.
"Yang... I just said that she was like a mother..." Snake, like Ruby, Weiss and Blake, thought that comment was pretty stupid.
"What is wrong with you...?" Weiss let out a sigh when she heard that comment.
"Right, right, sorry." Yang responded with a nervous laugh.
"So... where is she now?" Asked Ruby, she was curious about Snake's Mentor.
But Snake was silent for a few seconds, Snake's face now seemed more serious, and slightly sad, then he give them an answer. "She is dead..." Everyone eyes widened of what Snake said.
"I'm... i'm sorry... I shouldn't have asked that..." Ruby said, feeling sad. Snake had said that he never had a family, and that she was a mother figure, and she could not help but think of her own mother, Summer Rose.
"Don't worry Ruby, it's okay." He answered calmly, But everyone noticed that Snake seemed slightly sad. Even if that was a long time ago, Snake still remembered that day, in which he had to kill The Boss. Although it was already decades, the feeling was hard to forget.
The room was silent for a minute, and nobody said a thing, they felt that, maybe it was better to ask questions another day, as it could be uncomfortable for Snake. "It's already late, we should sleep." Weiss indicated, while the others agreed, so she proceeded to turn off the light and go to her bed.
"Goodnight team." Said the young leader on her bed, and everyone answered the same, except Snake. "Snake?" She asked.
"Yep?"
"Good night..." Said the leader, still feeling slightly wrong for what she asked, and fearing that Snake was angry or that he hated her.
"Good night Ruby." He said with a small but honest smile, to which she smiled too. "And good night everyone." Weiss, Blake and Yang heard those words, and they smiled too. Soon everyone fell asleep.
But Snake was still awake.
He couldn't stop thinking about his current situation. Ozpin said maybe he should take the opportunity to start again with a new life in Remnant, but it seemed absurd to him what he had said. Then, he remembered again...
''The survivor will carry on the fight, it is our destiny... The one who survives will inherit the title of Boss. And the one who inherits the title of Boss will face an existence of endless battle...' Those words were once more in Snake's head. He just sighed, and try to sleep.
After a few minutes, Big Boss fell asleep.
End of Chapter 5.
Damn, 8365 words, new record.
So, I know that in this episode it seems that Snake was Rambo killing with ease everything in front of him, but remember, he is the legendary soldier, right? And sorry if I described Snake's Initiation kinda lazy, I am really terrible in descriptions of battles. And I know, I know, the cliche of the fifth member of team RWBY, but I think that the Fanfic will be more fun like this.
And now some Question that you are maybe asking yourselfs,
Since I like this section at the end of the story, and I didn't use it in the previous episode.
1 - Why Snake was covered in Blood? That's a little absurd.
Well, this is basically because I like that, sometimes in MGS5 Venom Snake is bleeding, and the blood stays in his body, and I know that Snake's blood in this episode is Grimm's blood, the truth is, not even I know if the Grimms bleed but I suppose they can, who knows.
2 - Why Snake have a scarf?
I like how he looks, well, how Venom looks with it in MGS 5, And the reason why he's covering his left shoulder and not the right one is so that it can be seen the FOX emblem that Snake has on his right shoulder.
3 - Why did you decide that the protagonist was Naked Snake/Big Boss and not Solid Snake?
Because I feel that Big Boss is much more human than Solid Snake, Big Boss can feel happiness or can feel sad, while I feel that Solid Snake is more serious and bitter, and I felt that his personality would make the Fanfic something... boring or predictable.
4 - Why you change the Cover Image?
Well, I did not have the permission of the Author of the image, and Venom Snake was the one on the cover, so I decided to use this, where Big Boss appears.
Also, I've been thinking about Snake's semblance so I have two ideas.
1 - Something similar to the Soliton Radar or the Solid Eye, were Snake can detect enemies more easily.
2 - Some kind of slow motion like the one in MGS GZ and V, where everything is more slow and Snake can react quickly, this sound too OP but for enemies like Cinder or Adam, i think this could work.
And well, that would be all for today, leave a Review if you want me to answer it in the next episode.
See ya later!
