WELCOME TO A NEW CHAPTER!
NOW, I KNOW THAT I PROMISE TO UPDATE THE CODEX WITH THE INFO OF THE 4 CHARACTERS, BUT I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS IN THE INSTITUTE (check author notes to see why), BUT I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS CHAPTER.
ABOUT WHAT I SAID WHO THE CHARACTERS WERE INSPIRED BY, THERE ARE VERY OBVIOUS CLUES, ABOUT WHAT CHARACTERS I WAS INSPIRED BY, LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN GUESS THEM, IF NOT, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN BEFORE 2005?
BUT I HAVE TO CONGRATULATE, "halo is bad ass" FOR NAILING WHERE THE PISTOLS WERE INPIRED OFF.
REVIEWS:
Review dude (May 11): that's what I going to do, with just Vale, because with the background that I have in mind for the rest of the kingdoms, it isn't going to work with the rest of them.
Guest (May 11): for when the US makes his appearance, they are going to have one common enemy (for the time being) and that will be the Grimm, after that… well that will be spoilers if I told you, so I'm not going to say anything about it.
Kushmaster5000: No she wasn't inspired by Lucy of fairy tail and good for you for being a good patriot of your country (I'm not going to say anything else, I don't want a "war" in the reviews for what political state you side with) and good that you still like my story and if you want a clue as to who the girl is, the anime she was in aired in October of 2006 and that's all I'm going to say.
NOW LET'S GO TO THE CHAPTER SHALL WE.
I DON'T OWN RWBY OR ANY OTHER TECH THAT APPEARS HERE, I ONLY OWN THE OC'S THAT I MADE.
Initiation and forming the team.
the first to wake up, was Lucy, with the sound of birds chirping outside and the sun shinning in front of her face, Lucy started with a big yawn and look malevolently to the sun for interrupting her sleep. Knowing that with her already up and try to fall sleep again will be a nightmare, she decided to get out of the bedroll.
She stretch her body, humming when her back crack when stretch, she started to look around with sleepy eyes, Peter was sleeping just like he was in a coma, and the other 2 look like they were sleep walking, with Beck sleeping backwards, meaning that his head is where his feet are supposed to be and vice-versa, and Baxter looks to be in a Yoga position, with his but in the air and his arm stretch to the sides.
This made her giggle and shake her head in amusement, she looks around and sees that most of the people were still sleeping, with a few early birds stretching as well.
'Better to wake them up now, less problem with using the bathroom' thought Lucy, as she walks to Peter.
She starts shaking Peter to wake him up, which it works, as his eyes open and yaws as well.
"Good morning" said Peter, in a sleepy voice.
"Sorry to wake you up, but it's better to use the bathroom now, as almost all the others are still sleeping" said Lucy.
Peter looks around and sees the same and nods in agreement. "Yeah, I don't like to be waiting outside as more people wake up" said Peter.
"Good, now, would you help waking up those 2, so they can enter to the bathroom as well" she points behind, Peter looks and couldn't help but to snort at the siblings.
With that both of them go to the siblings, with Lucy goes to Baxter and Peter goes to Beck.
Lucy just has to push his butt to the side to wake him up and Peter just shake him to wake him up, but didn't work, so he opens the bedroll and shuts both his nose and mouth to keeps the most oxygen out and it works, with him immediately waking up and trashing his feet everywhere in the bedroll and Peter just giggle at that.
"Why the hell would you do that?!" ask Beck.
"Because you wouldn't wake up and because it's better to use the bathroom mostly empty to use it" said Peter, with a grin.
Beck only mumble about how he was wake up, but he gets up and walks with the boys to the bathroom, with Lucy entering the female bathroom, with the 4 of them leaving their clothes in the changing room.
15 minutes later
The 4 of them walk out of the changing room and walk to the cafeteria, at the same time they noticed that there was indeed a line for the bathroom and couldn't help but snicker at that, mostly Lucy as she knew something like this could happen.
They arrive to the cafeteria, to a short wait line, after a few minutes they leave the line with their respective plates in a nearby table.
"So, where do you think is the initiation?" ask Peter, taking a sip of orange juice.
"I believed it could be in the emerald forest or in forever fall" said Lucy.
"Yeah those are good places for an initiation test, but forever fall could a little more complicated then you think" said Beck, earning a curious eyebrow from both.
"It's true what my bro said, forever fall has very few areas that are "mostly" clean from Grimm, but that could change quickly, I used to train there, but I couldn't stay there for more then 30 minutes to a hour before the place became a sea of Grimm" said Baxter, drinking hot chocolate.
"Why is that?" ask Lucy, as she eats a toast
"Forever fall trees have a very special sap that are contain inside them, because even if there are delicious with pancakes, but is a sap that can attract the Grimm, the more sap there is in a area, the more Grimm would come to that area" explain Baxter, surprising both of them.
"You use the sap to train, isn't" said Peter, with a knowing face.
The answer was a grin from Baxter. "Well, how do you expect I earn all this muscle, from just going to the gym" Baxter laughs at that, with the rest shaking their heads in amusement.
After that, they started to finish their breakfast and with their empty plates, they take their stuff and leave it, in the container of dirty dishes, passing through the line, Beck sees Ruby, to which she is surprise that he has already finish their breakfast, he says that he and a few of his friends wake up early, so they didn't have any problem, like those that wake up late, she only pouts and says "not fair", this made Beck chuckle and leaves the cafeteria.
Beck reunites with the group quickly, as they start walking around the academy, exploring and getting to know the academy.
Armory room, an hour and thirty minutes later.
After their time walking, the intercom gives an alert, that the initiation will begin in 30 minutes, the group immediately heads to the "Armory room" to get their equipment.
Beck and Peter, were nearby each other, collecting their weaponry, Beck was examining his SMG's, when he noticed Peter taking out his metallic suitcase, along with his weaponry. Which earn an eyebrow from me.
"What's with the suitcase, Peter" said Beck.
Peter look at Beck, with a tiny grin. "It's just part of my weaponry, but I used when the situation needs heavier weaponry or when I want to show off"
"Then what is it?"
Peter just laughs at that. "Now, where is the fun in that, uhm that sounds familiar" finishing with a shit eating grin.
Beck just looks at Peter with a deadpan expression. "Alright, I earn that after yesterday"
After that they heard someone shouting "Ridiculous", we both turn around to see a blonde man, with a black hoodie, blue jeans, a chest plate, with armor in his arms, with a note in his hands.
Before they could do anything, Baxter appear behind him and tap his shoulders, he started speaking to Baxter, then Baxter pointed a something, to which the blonde man nodded, with a smile and started walking.
"What's with the blonde?" ask Peter.
"The guy just couldn't find his locker" said Baxter.
After that they reunited with Lucy, who was almost finish with her weaponry, after that an announcement was transmitted through the intercom.
"Would all first-year students please report to Beacon cliff for initiation? Again, all first- year students report to Beacon cliff immediate"
After that everyone started pouring out of the room, heading to the cliff.
Beacon cliff, Emerald forest.
Before reaching to the cliff, Peter hides his suitcase behind a few bushes, with a shit eating grin 'I wonder if I activate it, I could scare the teachers' thought Peter, snickering a little.
After arriving to the cliff, both the headmaster and Miss Goodwitch beside him where waiting for them, with a row of gray platforms in front of them, Miss Glynda Goodwitch immediate instruct them to go on top of each platform and they obey.
After a few minutes of organizing, headmaster Ozpin started speaking.
"For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald forest" said Ozpin.
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard the rumors about the assignment of teams" continued Glynda. "Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates… TODAY"
"These teammates will be here for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So, it is your best interest to be paired with someone whom you can work well, that being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next 4 years"
Literally everyone heard the shriek of a girl after hearing that, as well a multitude of nervous murmurs around all the people there.
After that, Ozpin finished with a stern notice and a direction "go to the northern part of the forest" and their objective, collect a relic in the ruins at the same direction.
"Are they any questions?"
The blonde kid raises his hand, but he is ignored by the headmaster.
"Good, then take your positions"
Immediately after that, the students put themselves in position of launching and waited to be launch, they were launch one by one, after a few students, it was Beck's turn, as he was launch to the forest, then Peter, then Lucy and finally Baxter, then the rest of the students.
With Peter.
Peter was falling through the air, but he has already fill what is flying before, is nice to fill the wind crashing in his face, he looks down and sees that he is near the top of the trees, so he decides to go down, he flex his ring fingers to the palm of his hand, immediate a metal whip extended from the metallic arms, he whipped to the nearest branch, staying on top of it and then whipped to another one, until he arrive to the ground.
'Not as flashy, but it still works' thought Peter, as he takes out a compass from one of his pockets and starts walking to that direction.
There's only silence in the forest, except for the leaves and the chirping of the birds, a very peaceful place, if it wasn't from the monsters that live here.
Then he heard a growl coming from behind, as he turns around, he dodges a beowolf paw, try to attack him on the back, as he jumps backwards to give himself space. He runs to the beowolf, as the grimm does the same. Peter jumps and gives the grimm a horizontal kick to the face, launching him a foot or 2 from him, he bends his middle and index finger and deploys his whips, which now have blades in each section.
He immediate starts whipping the grimm, cutting easily the legs of the grimm and then his pawns, with a good kick to the torso, he send him flying to a nearby bolder, as the grimm tries to het up, he takes out his handgun and shoots him, the face completely disintegrates as it explodes.
"How much I love my HEAP bullets of this thing" he murmured with satisfaction and glee, then another growl.
He turns around to find another beowolf coming out of the woods, with it an idea pops out, he runs to the grimm with the same strategy as before, cutting his limbs out, but then he deactivates the blades of one of the whips and puts it around the neck of the beowolf, he separates the parts of his metallic limb and climbs a tree, hooks it on a branch, hanging the beowolf from it and reactivates the blades, but then he activates a hologram in the hooked part and presses a yellow hologram, immediate the Grimm starts to get electrify, a few minutes later he turns it of and the Grimm falls limp to the ground, with both smoke from his disintegration and from cooked flesh.
Peter reattaches his metallic gauntlet as he puts it in his limb again, he then gets down from the branch, nodding in satisfaction for his work, he just starts walking to his objectives.
With Lucy.
As Lucy walks, she stops as she heard gunfire in the distance, that's enough time for a Ursa to smell her and charge at her, but she already knew, so she immediate does a back flip to evade the slash from the Ursa's feet, she runs at it and jumps shooting it in the back, making the armored bones and spines break and fly around the Ursa, the Ursa charge at her, she activates the sword mode and cuts the left front feet, she evades another swipe and jumps to the right, she then shoot his right rear feet, then she immediately kicks him, and puts it in all fours, she shoot the right front feet and with the sword cuts his throat, and shoots it in his unarmored under-belly.
After that the Grimm starts to evaporated, she stops a moment to breathe a little, she immediate heard something jumping behind her, she turns around to see a beowolf, before she could point her guns, a arrow struck the side of its head and it falls down to the ground, dead.
She looks at the side and sees Baxter with a bow and arrow at the ready.
"I have him" said Lucy, with a mocking glare.
"I know you have him, but it's best to help another even if he or she doesn't need it" said Baxter, as he takes the arrow and transforms his bow into a rifle.
"Looks like we are partners isn't" said Baxter.
"Yes, we are, now let's go, I prefer to get this thing done before something happens" said Lucy, earning a nod from Baxter.
With Beck.
A creep immediately falls to the ground with a Kukri knife inside its mouth, with a part of it at the back of its neck, after that the grip of knife started to glow purple and the knife was sent flying to the Beck's right hand, which turn in SMG mode and started shooting at multiple creeps coming to him.
He jumps to the side and strikes one of the creeps on his leg, making it stumble and fall, he transforms his weapons in kukri's and dashes to other creep, immediate giving it a kick in the face, stunning it a few seconds, then he stabs one of the knife in the torso and the other one in the head, killing it on the spot.
Then starts to twist his left knife, until he has a grip on the tip and launches it to the fallen creep, hitting it on the head and silencing it one and for all, just as the other knife the grip started glowing purple and return to his hand.
"Well… that could have been easier" said Beck, as he resumes his walk to the ruins.
After a few minutes, he passes through a few bushes, he notices that he arrives to the ruins and sees around him, that around the ruins is a clearing, without trees or any kind of obstacles, but some reason there is a little "iceberg" in the middle of the clearing, but he shrugs, thinking that a battle happen not too long ago.
Then he notices that he isn't alone, but it isn't a Grimm, but a person and he just smiles when Beck sees him.
"Peter!" shouts Beck, Peter immediate turn his head.
"Finally, someone arrives to this place it's been lonely since I arrive"
"Hey, don't take the blame on me, the Grimm were really trying to eat my ass this time around… you don't have a partner, do you?"
Peter just shake his head but stretches his hand, with a smile in his face. "Well, a pleasure to meet you partner" Beck shake his hand, with a smile as well.
Beck then approaches the ruins and he is surprise to see the objects, that are here.
"Chess pieces?"
"Yeah, I was confused as well, I was expecting something more… valuable, to say the least" this earn a nod from Beck.
"So, which one do we take?"
"Let's take the… the bishop" said Beck, pointing at the chess piece.
Peter just nodded and approach the bishop, just then they heard some rustling from the trees, they turn around, with their hands on their weapons, only to see Baxter and Lucy coming out.
"Finally" said Baxter.
Beck walk to the other bishop and took it. "Hey, Lucy, catch!" shouted Beck.
Immediately, Lucy stretch her hand to catch the object and looks at it, with an eyebrow in confusion. "A bishop?"
"Yeah, I know, this is most likely how teams are made" said Beck.
"Well, now that we complete our objective, let's return to the cliff and complete this thing" said Baxter, with a little exhausted face.
Before anything could happen, Lucy heard rustling in the woods. 'to many movements for just one person' she turns around, to see, with wide eyes, that a ball of fire is coming their direction, she immediately tackles Beck to the ground, barely dodging the fire ball as it explodes behind them.
"What the!" shouts Peter.
"Where the hell did that come from?!" shouted/ask Baxter, looking around the area.
"You alright?"
"Yeah… just a little disoriented, thanks"
Then from the forest comes out the culprit, a Grimm around 1.53m (5.01 feet) in height, 2m (6.5 feet) in length, with 3 heads, the head of a lion, of a goat and half of a snake's body replacing the lion's tail, with heavy armored bone plates around his body and legs, with the mane, being made of spines and not fur (?) that a lion usually has.
The beast roars at them, letting its presence known.
"What the hell is a Chimera doing here?!" shouted Beck.
"And it isn't alone" said Lucy, with her ears moving frantically.
Immediately 2 other Chimeras appear behind it and started to go around them, just like they were prey, with all the 3 heads either growling or hissing (the snake head).
"Hey, Peter I believe this is the best time to use that suitcase" said Beck, taking his weapons.
"And I going to do it" said Peter, as he flares his aura.
The cliffside.
"How did those Chimera arrive here?!" ask Glynda, completely dumbfounded.
"It's seems that some of them actually pass the Vacuoan desert to Valerian territory, it's seems that we need to keep an eye with reports of this type of grimm every now and then" said Ozpin.
"I'm going to call Peter (Port), those kids can't defeat on their own" said Glynda.
Just after that, she feels a grip in her right arm and sees Ozpin gripping it and he pulls her to his side, just as a metallic object comes out of some bushes, behind them and flies in the same direction of the students.
"I believe that isn't going to be necessary, Glynda"
Ruins.
All of them, are back to back, looking at the Chimeras circling around them.
"Where is that suitcase!" shouted Beck.
Peter looks to the sky and sees the shine of something metallic.
(play shoot the thrill, ACDC, at 0:06)
He only just grins. "Right here" he runs and stops in front of one of the Chimeras and takes off his gauntlets.
The metallic suitcase falls to the ground, impacting the heads of the lion and goat of the Chimera, disorienting the beast for enough time, for him to equip his suit.
He pushes his right feet down, disarming the suitcase, then the suitcase disarms, taking the appearance of a torso, 2 metal like hands appear in the middle, he puts then and puts the metallic torso on top of his and expands it, multiple servos start appearing in the legs and arms, then metallic armor appears in his body, as it starts to shape around his body, in the center a perfect circular core, with a reddish red in the center and finally a helmet reforms in the head, as he grins, with a excitement in his eyes, and as it locks itself, with 2 white LED eyes glowing.
He reattaches his gauntlets and immediately charges at the Chimera, which already recuperated, as he dodges a fire ball from the snake tail, he uses his repulsors, to jump over the Chimera and targets his snake tail, he takes a strong grip over the snake tail and starts punching it until it is disoriented, he then lets it go and activates his whip and puts it around the snake, then activates the blades to attach themselves to the snake, with the other whip in the Chimera back legs, he activates his flight repulsors and take off to the skies, with the Chimera with him.
He reaches up and launches it pass him, he deactivates the whips and then bends his middle and ring finger, activating a blade to appear in his gauntlets, he flies and easily cuts the snake with the momentum of the fall and punches the lions head, impacting the ground a couple of seconds later, killing the beast instantly with the impact on the ground, flatting their heads with it.
He then flies to other Chimera, and starts to shoot beams of energy to it, easily destroying the armor around it and killing the goat head, leaving a hole of the length of a fist in it, then puts his legs forward tackling him to the ground, leaving a nice straight impact crater, then he starts punching it on the body, after that he takes the tail/snake and starts to turn around, clock wise, reaching to a velocity and launching him to the trees, easily breaking multiples trees and breaking any surviving bones, he flies there and starts punching it more, smashing with his left foot the head of the snake, activates his blades and cutting what's left of the goat head and the stabs through the throat and with the strength of his aura and the armor, cuts the head of the lion in half, a clean cut through the middle of the head and, for good measure, decapitates the head, leaving a the disintegrating body of the Grimm there.
He then flies back to the clearing to see his friend finishing the other Chimera.
Baxter starts shooting suppressing fire at the snake head, while the others start to run to the flanks of the Grimm, with the goat head shooting spines from his mouth, making Lucy evade or stop the projectiles with her sword, Beck runs and slides underneath the Grimm, with his knife ready, impaling the knife in the goat head, but couldn't have enough distance before the lion tackles him, Lucy immediately runs and kicks the lion from Beck's faces.
"Lucy keep him occupied, I have an idea!" shouts Beck, Lucy nods.
"Bro, I need a fire dust and shoot it" he runs as he shouts.
Baxter, knowing what he is doing, launches the fire dust and momentarily stops firing the snake head, the fire dust explodes and Beck flares his aura, the powder immediately goes to his hand, forming a cone shape object in it, which starts moving like a drill, he runs to the lions head, with his hand literally turn into a fire tornado.
"Lucy get out of the way! I'm coming in hot, literally!" shouts Beck.
Lucy sees behind her and her eyes widen at what she is seeing, she kicks the lion face and slashes its eyes with her sword, the lion roars in pain at the injurie, giving Beck the perfect entrances, Beck charges screaming and impales the throat of the lion with the fire drill, giving it third degree burns, he jumps back with a backflip.
"Now!"
From behind, Baxter takes out his sword, activating his semblance, giving his aura a boost, making it stronger, as the fire balls hit but don't do anything to it, he cuts the head of the snake, Lucy seeing where this is going rushes and slides underneath and cuts the forward legs, making it fall, the lion seeing what is going on tries to break the fire drill, but al was in vein.
"Get out of there!" shouts Beck, both of them jump from there, as Beck flares his aura.
In a second, the drill becomes a bright star and the next explodes in a ball of fire, only leaving a burn body of the Grimm and a semi-circle of burn grass.
(Music ends here… maybe)
The trio, groups near the dissolving body.
"Well, that wasn't so bad" said Baxter, earning a slap at the back of the head from Beck.
"Yeah, for you, I was almost eaten by the fucking chimera" said Beck.
"Well at least it was one that we have to fight one" said Lucy.
They heard something land behind them, they turned around and see Peter in his suit, walking towards them.
"Well I made it easier for you, by taking out 2 of them before the fight even begun with me" said Peter, through the helmet. "And yes, we can talk about this when we arrive to our dorm"
Before anything else can happen, a red body runs to Peter and tackle him, but by being in the suit he doesn't fall to the ground and stands still.
"Ruby?!" shouts Beck.
Ruby ignores him and stares at Peter, with literally stars in her eyes.
"HOWDIDYOUBUILDIT? WHATISITMADEOFF? HOWCOULDYOUMAKEITTHATCOMPACT?! WHATWEAPONSDOESITHAVE?! DOESITHAVEANAME?!"
Barely anyone could understand what she is saying, Lucy moves closer to Beck.
"You weren't kidding that she is younger, but you didn't tell me that she was this excitable with weapons" said Lucy.
"I didn't, I thought that she was curious about my SMG's, not that she is at this level of weapons fanatic" said Beck, with a deadpanned face.
"RUBY, LEAVE THE BOY BREATH!" shouted someone behind them.
They turn around to see another 7 people coming out of the woods, with Weiss Schnee and Pyrrha Nikos along with them.
The shout snaps Ruby of her "trance" by marveling on the suit, she looks at them and puts a sheepish and embarrassed face, with her hand behind the neck and a sheepish smile.
"Sorry, I'm just get very excitable with any kind of weapon" said Ruby.
"We notice" said the 4, making her even more embarrassed.
The 4 turn to the rest of the group. "So, care to explain us, as to why you didn't appear to help us with the chimera's, it's obvious that you didn't arrive recently, or you will have more sweat or a raspier voice"
"We have just finished our fight and we were walking to the cliff, when your fight started and we didn't have a good level of aura, when we arrive here" said Jaune, with a hand on the back of his neck.
"They are telling the truth, their aura level isn't at 100%, but they are close" said Peter.
"And how do you know that?" Ask Weiss.
Peter just points to his helmet. "Aura detector scanner, is much easier to check the aura of anyone nearby with this, then taking out your scroll every time you want to check yours or somebody's aura level"
"He has a point and by the way my name is Lie Ren but call me Ren" said Ren.
After that everyone introduce themselves, thought Beck sees Blake eye them in a were way, but he ignores it. A few minutes later Lucy snaps her finger to gain everyone's attention.
"Ok, it's obvious that everyone wants to know each other, well mostly everyone" she eyes Weiss. "But right now, we are in a forest infested by Grimm, I prefer to be in a much safer location"
With that everyone starts walking back to the cliff, to complete their objective.
Auditorium.
Applauses can be heard around the auditorium, as the new team, CRDL, walks down the stage.
"Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos and Nora Valkyrie" said Ozpin, as the group goes to the stage. "The 4 of you retrieved the white rook pieces, from this day forward, you will work together as… team JNPR" Nora hugs Ren after that. "Led by… Jaune Arc!"
Jaune could only look at the headmaster, with a very surprise face and a "huh?" as an answer, as Pyrrha looks at him with a big smile.
"L-led by…?" said Jaune, stuttering a little.
"Congratulations, young man"
Pyrrha punches him in the shoulder in a friendly manner, but because he was distracted and Pyrrha put a little bit of force with it, she makes him fall to the ground, landing in his butt.
Some of the students laugh at the scene, while Pyrrha helps Jaune get up from the ground.
"Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee and Yang Xiao Long" the named people come to the stage as they pass team JNPR.
"The 4 of you retrieved the white knight pieces, from this day forward, you will work together as… team RWBY. Led by… Ruby Rose!"
Weiss looks at her in shock, as Ruby looks around in surprise and shock, Yang immediately hugs her sister. "I'm so proud of you" said Yang.
"And finally, Lucy McArthur, Baxter Inda, Beck Miller and Peter Escobar" said students came to the stage passing by team RWBY, with Ruby, giving them a thumbs up.
"The 4 of you retrieved the black bishop pieces, from this day forward, you will work together as… team lime. Led by… Lucy McArthur!"
With that announcement, Lucy, pushes her chest forward in pride, with the rest giving her a little smile or with Baxter a thumbs up, with a big grin in his face.
'This will be an interesting year' thought Ozpin, with a little grin in his face.
Author notes:

I'm so sorry that this chapter wasn't publish much earlier, because my teacher literally drops every kind of test on June and it was a nightmare just trying to get it done.

And I hope you like the fight scene, it's one of my first fight scene I have written, so I hope you like it (If not, I do welcome well written criticism about how I can improve).
Well for the time being I hope you like the new chapter.
And remember reviews are welcome and follow this story is you are interested.
