Today's initiation, students of the first-year was standing on plates, Jaune, who had no clue what was happening to his peers was busy listening to Ozpin's speech.
"For years you have trained to become warriors, and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin began.
Glynda spoke after, "As you heard some rumors about the assignments of teams, well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. You'll be getting teammates, today."
Ruby let out a audible "What!?"
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. Is it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well." Ozpin spoke.
Ruby let out a "Awww..."
"That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."
Ruby's world basically shattered at this, before letting out another "What!?" While Nora cheers, "Told you!" to Ren.
"You will meet opposition along the way, don not hesitate to destroy everything in your path, or you will die."
Jaune nervously chuckles before gulping audibly.
"You will be monitored for the duration of your initiation. But our instructors will not intervene. You will find a abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one, and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately."
He sips his mug.
"Are there any questions?" Ozpin asks.
"Yeah, um sir-"
"Good! Now take your positions."
"Are we being dropped off... Or?" Jaune asked.
"No, you'll be shot off,"
"Are you gonna give us parachutes?" Jaune questioned again.
"No, you're using your own means of landing down, safely," Ozpin took another sip of his mug "Any other questions?"
Jaune raised his hand again, oblivious to the others being shot off. Y/n sighed before drawing his scythe, being launched off. After Y/n came Jaune, who was launched, screaming out the rest of his last questions.
In mid-air, Ruby hit a poor bird, screaming out "Birdie no!" but continuing to fall towards the forest at dangerous speeds. Using Crescent Rose, she fires slowing herself down, before swinging off a tree using the scythe part, Weiss uses glyphs to slow her falls by hopping off them (To be honest this should've broken her ankles, knees, etc.), Ren uses his blades on the bottom of his gun to slide down the tree, Yang using Ember Celicia to boost herself forward, crashing through trees and hopping off soemz eventually landing down.
"Nailed it!"
Pyrrha, using her spear, lodges into a tree, before landing on a branch and aiming around with her now, gun. Spotting a free falling Jaune fly past her, she spins the gun, it slowly turning into a spear again, before launching it with a boom. It eventually caught Jaune into a tree, him shouting a "Thank you!" only for her to say "I'm sorry!" back. Ruby landed with a thud, before speeding off.
'Gotta find Yang and Y/n, gotta find Y/n and Yang, gotta find...' "YYYYY/nnnnn, Yaaaang? Yaaaang? YYYYY/nnnn?" 'This is bad, what if I can't find them, what if someone finds them first? There's always Jaune, he's nice and funny... I don't think he's very good in a fight though.' Ruby switched from yelling to thinking.
After a while, she comes to a halt in front of Weiss, the two locking eyes. (And that's how WhiteRose was born.) Before Weiss turns and walks away.
"Wait, where are you going? We're supposed to be teammates..."
Weiss trudged through the shrubbery before coming to a stop in front of Jaune, who's impaled into a tree. Jaune nervously waves before Weiss turns around and drags Ruby by her cape.
"By no means does this make us friends."
"Yay! You came back!"
Jaune cried for help, watching them walk away. Pyrrha was seen under him.
"Do you have any spots left in your team?"
"Haha, real funny..."
Meanwhile with Y/n.
"Who's a good boy? You are!"
Y/n can be seen playing with a Alpha Beowulf, who was acting like a dog, because Y/n had a bone. Y/n tossed the bone away, for the Alpha Beowulf to give chase after it. Chuckling, Y/n continues on, trudging through the bushes, making his way towards the relics.
"What's the hurry?"
"I will not let my mission be delayed because you're too slow." Weiss continues on, "I swear, if I get a bad grade because of your- what the?",
Ruby sped in front of her, leaving petals in her wake.
"I'm not slow, see? You don't have to worry about me."
Weiss looks behind her, "when did you...?"
"Weiss, just because I don't exactly know how to deal with people doesn't mean I don't know how to deal with monsters."
Ruby then speeds off.
"Not only that, but you excel at wasting time!" Weiss spoke, but after Ruby disappearing she began getting worried. "Ruby?"
With a certain blonde...
Yang, started searching through the forest, presumably looking for Ruby or Y/n.
"Ruby? Y/n? Ruuuby?" A audible growl came from the bushes, "Ruby?"
The bushes revealed a Beowulf, "Nope, not Ruby." Yang spoke, before sucker punching the Beowulf into a tree, more growls came from the bushes as more and more Beowulves sprouted from the greenery. Yang began punching and kicking through multiple of them. One got a strand of her hair off, setting off Yang.
"You... Monster!"
Yang actives her semblance, her hair lit aflame and raising, her once lilac eyes were now ruby red. She began brutalizing the enemies, just as she was about to hit the last one, Blake killed it with her katana, yanking it back, causing the once alive Beowulf to fade away.
"I had that y'know."
"Whatever, we're teammates I guess."
Y/n had grabbed a glowing relic, that was a king piece, none of the others had gotten there so he'd just grab whatever looked cool. He has yet to find a partner though, the sweat began pouring down Y/n's head, what if he doesn't find a partner? He'd be expelled! He walked down the trail, drawing his scythe in katana mode.
If he wasn't able to find a partner, he'd go out with a bang. He started thinking of saddening events in life. Grimm began sorounding Y/n, his negative emotions luring them in, however, a massive rumble came from the ground, turning he sees a massive Hydra. He stared in awe as his friends had found their way to his location.
While Y/n was busy staring, a Beowulf clawed at his side. He let out a yelp. Y/n grasps his side, a Grimm had caught him lacking and clawed at his ribs, he stood there, watching at the overwhelming amount of Grimm continued to fight everyone. His body was filled with... Determination. He started he slicing at the Beowulves and using his silver eyes to petrify multiple Grimm. But no matter how much he killed, it seemed that double the amount would find their way to them.
As a last ditch effort, he clentched his eyes closed and reopened then, to reveal one eye silver, and the next pitch black. He roared out loud before manipulating his aura to his fists, charging at the Alpha Beowulf, he swung his fist right into the temple of it. The result was that the Beowulf was sent, far into a Ursa Major. Drawing his scythe, he manager to get past a of the others, heading straight for the Hydra. Channeling his aura, he stared into the Hydra's eyes before roaring again, he launched upwards, latching the blade of the scythe into it's jaw, and jamming multiple dust crystals under each scale it had. After getting all done, he launched off and charged his aura up. Looking at his friends, he snapped his fingers for them to be teleported. This stunt surely would've killed him, after they vanished from the area. He stared at his hands, using his semblance, he raised his hand. Clutching it one more as the Grimm in the area howled in pain and tried to get it to stop. One single tear found it's way down his cheek. Changing his scythe into sniper mode, he aims at the Hydra's chin, shooting it and releasing his charged up silver eyes, from Beacon Cliff, you'd see a massive explosion, engulfing the whole forest. Students started coming outside to see the marvelous view, after the explosion died down, no Grimm populated the now blooming forest, and no sign of Y/n, the first-year students were mortified, they watched a man commit suicide.
All so he could save them, he was a true huntsman.
However, Y/n didn't die, he was just bruised badly. Standing up, his aura worked hard at his wounds. His left eye had a permanent red tint, his right still his normal eye. He trudged up the hill, tightly gripping the hilt of his katana. His aura finished on his wounds resulting in him looking... Relatively normal.
Arriving at the top, he decided to make a little entrance... He leaped upwards into the sky, flashing his aura, instead of one continued aura, it was two separate, on red and the next silver. He landed with the ground beneath him cracking. The students looked to him, they all froze.
His hand waved at them. Everyone rushed at him at once, almost all of them crying from a single tear to bawling out their eyes. He was lifted up and carried into Beacon, he'd have to be honored.
After the team announcements, everyone flooded out, in the courtyard of Beacon was a statue of Y/n, he was now a legend among the students, all because of him being on his Huntsman's duty.
