Chapter 3: ==
Fortunately, you got off easy because you had no idea what "Dust" was and that just sneezing near some of the more raw of it could cause it to explode... yeah. You're glad all you got was a short tongue-lashing from Glynda, but you wish Ozpin would give you a break! It's just job after job after job! Tonight, you have to watch the students since the initiation and orientation were tomorrow. Truthfully, it's a big waste of time- these things should be the same day at least!
All you have to do tonight is watch them to make sure any of yesterday's accidents repeat themselves. Speaking of yesterday, the two girls (Ruby and Weiss if you remember correctly) just needed a bucket of water and a good dusting-off. You're currently sitting in the rafters of the large Gym-turned-indoor-campsite, with a perfect view of all the students.
Not much really happened. Red and this busty Blonde who was apparently Red's sister moved over to the corner halfway through everyone falling asleep and began talking to the Black-haired girl, thanking her for yesterday.
"*tch* didn't even credit me."
-Timeskip!-
So, here you are again. Standing on the cliff overlooking the Emerald Forest. You were getting kinda antsy not getting to kill anything... but Ozpin decided to let you loose in the forest so long as you don't disturb the initiation. Ozpin was just finishing up his instructions.
" ... After that you will meet back here. You will not receive any help during the initiation. Any questions?" One kid raised his hand and asked about landing, but Oz ignored him. "Good luck."
He then signaled one of the other teachers and the launch-pads began firing one at a time, launching the students atop them into the forest. Once the last student was in the air, he turns to you.
"You may go in now, Bec."
"About damn time." You stand up and take a step off the cliff, falling directly into the middle of a conveniently-dark clearing. White eyes stare at you from the shadows of the surrounding trees. You smirk, unsheathing your sword. "This'll be good."
Be Ruby
You are now Ruby Rose. You are currently flying through the air over the top of Emerald Forest. Landing wont be too much of an issue, but there is something else on your mind before it comes time to land. That... man. There aren't too many Faunaus' on the island of Patch, but you're sure he's not one. For one thing, the Faunaus' you know only have one animal trait- like their ears, or a tail -but he had at least two: Wings and ears. Also, his voice just screamed "I'm a bad guy", as if he were a bloodthirsty phycopath in another life. But coolest of all, you think, is his sword. He fights with like it was part of him, and he must have been a badass in his previous life too, cuz to put it away he impails himself!
You're snapped out of your thoughts when you realize you just used Crescent Rose to make an awesome landing and was too spaced out to see it. Oh well. Now on to the vital task of finding a partner!
Be Bec Noir
You are now Bec Noir and are standing in a clearing full of desintigrating, decapitated Grimm. As you survey your handiwork, you hear a rustling in the forest... bigger than a forest animal, smaller than most Grimm... humans. About 7 in total(you close your eyes to focus better) one in front, the other 6 in back, but a ways back, and the one in front is quickly approaching. Then... three things happen: 1st, you open your eye just in time to see someone crash into you, making you both fall flat on your butts. 2nd, you both get up and in one swift motion you have a sword at her throat and your own. 3rd, you recognize each other.
"You!" "You!" you both take a step back, lowering your swords slightly. "You're that girl from yesterday."
She wore relitively the same atire as yesterday, the bow, the jacket, the black hair(not that she could change that).
"And you're that...thing that was watching the new students yesterday."
Usually you'd take offense at that, but you had more... pressing matters at hand.
"Get down!" You quickly shove the girl to the ground as your omnipresence kicks in , and a bullet narrowly grazes her bow as she falls. You swing your Noir Edge(yes, you finally got around to naming your sword, since that seems the custom around here) horizontally, sending out a cutting wave of energy that cut down several trees... as well as he 6 men following the girl. You then point your Noir Edge at said girl.
And then the bow fell off.
And you have a panic attack.
"No... it can't be! This session hasn't even begun yet! How is she just like me!?"
You take a few more steps back as she gets up and you drop Noir Edge.
"H-How?"
She had cat ears. Freaking cat ears! The only people supposed to have stuff like that are sprites, cancer, and First Guardians. Judging by the lack of a ring or scepter, she's not a cancer, or a sprite by the physical body. That meant she was a First Guardian.
Quite a bit on edge from this, you warp away at the slightest sound of someone coming through the trees... Noir Edge warping with you. You didn't care about the location... anywhere away from a freaking First Guardian was good enough. You were so scared you wanted to curl up in the fetal position and just sit there for a while. However, for the sake of keeping your reputation you didn't... because Murphy's law, you ended up on the cliff that acts as a finish line for the initiation.
"Oh, back so soon?" Ozpin asked.
"Ran out of stuff to fight." you chuckle. You both know you could be fighting for days and not even dent the Grimm population of the Emerald Forest.
-Timeskip!-
Just as the last few groups made it to the top of the cliff, a monstrous Roar/Squawk was heard.
"N-No way! We can't fight that many Nevermores!" One of the students(probably Ruby) exclaimed from behind you. You turn around to see hundreds of giant black birds were flying towards the cliff. Ozpin took a sip of his coffee.
"Normally you'd be right, mrs Rose. However, we have mr Noir with us." He then turned to you. "Are you up to the challenge?"
"Heh, am I?" You step forward, issuing a word of caution. "You may want to step back."
Out of the corner of your eye you see that your ring is glowing red, and brighter by the second. But then, the red glow is drown out by a torrent of pure darkness flowing from the jewels on the ring. The darkness turns your skin pitch black, along with giving you a short coat of black fur. Your wings grow larger and glow a feint green. As a final touch, your face is pushed out into a black, canine muzzle.
You throw your fist into the air, the red glow of the ring once again intensifying.
"Red Miles!" As you yell out those duly-feared words, long tendrils of solid, red energy burst into being and in just a short time, the Miles fill the air around the fast approaching Nevermores! Each one was impailed in several places, causing the Grimm to start dissolving exactly like their land cousins.
Nothing can escape the Miles.
At least until you run out of ring energy... which it promptly did as soon as the last Nevermore died. You drop to the floor, the darkness on you becoming a semi-liquid and begins to drip off of you, then dissolving into nothingness before the drips even touch the ground. Soon, you are back in the dreaded state of unconsciousness.
Rather than waking up in Vale, you oddly wake up back on Derse. Instantly recognizing this as one of the towers on Derse's moon, you climb out the window and look out over said moon. While doing so, you notice you're wearing that "Dreamer Garb" that the Knight of Time and... Jade... wore before their awakening.
"Great, another silly outfit. I don't even think I'll be able to rip this one!"
Still looking out, you notice that instead of two towers, there's three. This isn't very outstanding since you know about the whole 'other worlds' thing, but Derse existing in this world meant that your fears were confirmed... this world indeed had a session. You had assumed this earlier, but only now this was confirmed.
Before you can explore this world's Derse, you start to feel like you're about to pass out... but you can't do anything and you end up falling asleep, and literally falling off the tower. You woke up.
You find yourself in a room, probably in Beacon Academy. To the left of you is the door out, to the right a nightstand. On said nightstand is your ring inside a specialized case. You throw off the covers and grab the case. Under the case is a note. It reads:
"Auditorium, ASAP.
-Mrs. Goodwitch."
*tch* That lady must really not like you then. Not much of a choice here, you need to be present for the after-initiation assembly or whatever.
-Timeskip-
"And finally, with the White Knight pieces: Ruby Rose, Weiss Shnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xao Long. Team RWBY(ruby) lead by... Ruby Rose!" Everyone applauded.
"W-Wait, me?" Ruby said, surprised to be put in charge of the team.
Once the applause died down, Ozpin continued.
"I would now like to introduce our new professor's aid, Bec Noir!" I stepped forward and there was more applause. I had been supplied a suit and tie before the assembly had started. I opted to wear the newly-ripped jester outfit as a scarf instead of the tie, and the suit was augmented to accommodate my wings.
"And he will be assigned to watch over team RWBY."
"Wait, what?"
"There are no further announcements." Ozpin squared up his notes and left the stage, leaving the rest of us to file out of the auditorium.
So, wow it's been a while since I updated this. Sorry for the lack of updates guys, school's been happening.
