Hello everyone. I know that another long time had passed from the last chapter, but now here I am, intending on finally finishing the Initiation Test Arc in this chapter so that in the chapter after that I can do the first day of school, with all the wacky teachers, students and teen drama that I can think of (though teen drama is for more from the chapter after that). After that are some of my more anticipated arcs and fight scenes, several of which will involve the weak boys who need a strong woman in their lives to protect them (mostly Tsukune, but there another one as well).
Anyway, lets remove our Rosario, activate our Semblances, make a Stand flurry while shouting "ORA!", "DORA!", "MUDA!" or "WRRRYYYY!" at the top of your lungs, and let as begin with the fun.
Chapter 6: Initiation Test Finale. Teams vs Grimm Part 2: The Goliath
Initiation Arc Part 6
The Entire group looked at utter shock as the carcass of the scorpion spider hybrid slowly turned to ash, spreading across the four winds, and in front of it stood the silver-white haired vampiress with a stoic expression on her face as she slowly watched the creature disappear with a cold glaze.
The one of the group who was the most affected from that display that Moka had shown was Kurumu, who was barely visibly shaking in her boots as she had her jaw hit the floor and her eyes bugged out as her expression was one of fear. 'Ba-bakana... This is the power of a vampire?' she asked herself in the silence of her head as wind raised the Monster's hair to flap gracefully behind her frame, making her look so shining and beautiful.
Kurumu then shook her head violently and dismissivly. 'No! Remember her Rosario, Kurumu. Her power is looked by that Rosario on her neck. As long as you don't face this Moka, your plan will go smoothly!' she thought to her self as she stopped shaking her head and raised it with a catty smirk plastered all over her face. 'Yeah! That's the spirit! As long as I don't have to deal with this, I will manipulate Tsukune to my very whims!' she kept thinking to herself with confidence.
The silver-haired girl with the blood-red eyes turned back to the rest of the group, a serious and scary glare in her eyes. She then put her hand on her neck and slightly cracked it while yawning, closing her eyes as he features turning slightly softer. "I can't believe I'm finally free. It's been years since I could come out instead of just watching from inside that cursed Rosario." she said as she did a few stretches like stretching her legs and rolling back her shoulders with a small grin on her face. She then opened her eyes and looked at the silver-eyed boy and gave him a cocky smirk. "Good to see that you're good for something, Tsukune Aono." she said with a confident tone to her voice.
Everyone from the group looked utterly lost as they looked at the vampiress, whom after a few minutes of keeping her little stretching exercises stood up and looked at the sky, where the Elder Nevemore that was circling above the ruins, to which a cold, ruthless frown rose to her face before looking back at the group. "So," she started speaking as her eyes were directly focused on those of her purple-haired partner. "do you think you can take out this little birdie before me to find out which of us is stronger, or will I make you realize the difference between us by doing it myself, Josuke Higashikata?" she asked him with a slightly patronizing and distant tone to her voice as she looked at him.
The tall teen looked around with a confused expression, looking at everyone who was standing next to him, who looked at him back with confused expression of their own, with Yang even shrugging when he looked at her with an expression that shouted 'Why is she talking to me?'. Sighing, the man simply looked back at his partner. "And why me exactly?" he asked her with an intrigued yet slightly exasperated expression on his face.
The silver-haired Youkai was unflinching as she answered. "Because of that power you displayed earlier. The first is that power you used to save Outer Moka from those jokes that called themselves Youkai earlier. I've never seen such a power before and the speed and power those arms hit with were intriguing to me." she explained the first reason as to why she challenged the young man into this competition.
The young man raised his eyebrow as he looked at his partner with a bit of a wary look on his face. "So what you're basically trying to say is that you want to prove to me and mostly to yourself that you're better than me? I get it. I'm a bit of a competitive guy myself." he gave her a cold read as his lips turned into a cheeky grin as his competitive fire rose up inside of him.
Suddenly the ground underneath the ruins started to shake violently. Very violently. Feeling this, the entire group huddled together and entered into a fighting stance while raising their weapons in preparations for something, as if each and every one of the young Huntsmen and Huntresses in Training knew that this was some sort of a Grimm, one that they would need to fight against. The only one who didn't show any concern and seemed rather bored was Moka, as the silver-haired vampire looked at the others with a cold and dismissive look while raising an eyebrow.
Then from beneath the ground came out a gigantic creature, raising up the entire ruins on its head or back, whatever it was. The entire group of humans and Yukai jumped off of it as soon as possible and saw the thing in front of them all: a large, 23 feet tall worm with over two dozen legs on each of its long, fat-filled body that had been covered with a plated layer of sharp bones all across its upper and lower body, but not the legs. It had two large red eyes and a gigantic mouth that was filled with several rows of teeth in its gigantic maw.
All eyes widen at the sight of the absolute Goliath that had reached the area, all except Moka, who didn't seem impressed at all by the giant beast whatsoever. "Okay... didn't expect to see that." the blonde bruiser, the silver-eyed girl, the thug-looking young man, the Snow Maiden, the black-haired Mistrali girl and the amber-eyed girl with the bow tied at the top of head head all said in unison with beads of sweat covering their brow and face as their eyes bugged out of their skulls in barely restrained terror.
Some of the others were less subtle about their fear however, as the winged Yukai looked utterly terrified, shaking in her boots as her teeth constantly hitting one another as if she was a nutcracker, while her eyes were extremely wide and she was drenched with sweat. "I think we should run right-freaking-now." she said as she took step after step backwards.
Immediately alongside her several others took a few steps backwards, most notably being the short, silver-haired adolescent boy, the black-haired, silver-eyed boy and the blonde young man in the white armor, all just as terrified as the Succubus and walking backwards slowly just like her, utterly terrified out of their minds. "Yeah... good idea. Let's do it right now." all three of the 17-years old young men said simultaneously as they took steps backwards.
Surprisingly enough, Nora and Moka weren't afraid at all. In fact, the orange-haired girl looked at the giant Grimm with stars in her eyes. "Ren look at all those legs! Let's break them!" she shouted with excitement and overwhelming thrill in her voice as she raised her large hammer above her head and started running towards the monster, but her childhood friend quickly grabbed her by the collar, holding her back with extreme amount of effort on his behalf.
"Nora, that is a very bad idea charging at this thing alone." he advised her with concern and fear in his voice, much to the disappointment of his friend, as an "Awwww" cry immediately left her mouth, only to then let her arms slump down as a downer expression appeared on her face. "No fair." she said childishly.
Around that time, the powerful, silver-haired Yukai charged forward with an attentive, unimpressed and bored expression on her face, as she took merely about two seconds for her to reach in front of the creature. "Hmph." she snorted dismissively as she jumped in the air and cocked back her left leg. "KNOW YOUR PLACE, BEAST!" she shouted at the top of her lungs as she sent a powerful kick to the face of the armored creature.
A large "BOOM!" sound echoed as the kick impacting the Grimm caused a powerful shockwave to form as the head of the monster snapped to the side, with Moka smirking with satisfaction of taking care of the creature with a mere casual kick from her, without puting a lot of strength in it. However, that was her big mistake, as the creature immediately looked at her with its red eyes and started to swing its head towards her, being barely affected from her attack aside from a small crack across its armored bone exoskeleton and being staggered for a second, much to the shock of the vampire.
"What?! But How?!" she asked with a shocked and angry tone as she was falling down from the air, crossing her arms in front of her upper torso and face in order to brace for impact, sneering at her mistake with annoyance.
Much to her surprise, in an instant, the pompadour teen appeared in between between the giant black monster and his partner at an extreme speed, much to the red-eyed adolescent's surprise. 'Sorry Jotaro, but I'll have to go against your request. There is just no holding back against something like this.' he thought to himself as his Aura flared like pink fire.
"[Crazy Diamond]!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, causing a tall, buff, ghostly humanoid to appear out of his body, which had the same extreme muscular arms and legs that the purple-haired young man showed earlier, with the figure having bubble-gum pink skin tone and some sort of weird head gear covering his face, as well as having little to cover the rest of its body.
Opening: This Will Be the Day (RWBY OP 1 by Jeff Willams feat. Casie Lee Williams)
Everyone aside from from Koichi, Okuyasu and Yukako looked in shock as she saw the humanoid figure in front of the purple-haired teen, not knowing what was going on. Right as the gigantic Grimm was about to slam its head against the ethereal, humanoid Stand, said purple-haired adolescent teen turned around mid-air and hugged the Yukai with all his strength in order to brace the both of them for impact, as the large head of the creature slammed into the Stand, which created a powerful shockwave that sent the two flying towards the ground.
A loud "BOOM!" sound echoed as the ground beneath everyone shook hard, enough to destabilize some poor saps called Koichi, Jaun and Tsukune to fall on their butts as a literal ton of dirt flew upwards to the air from the impact, creating a very large crater and a trench tunnel, in which the pompadour teen held to his silver-haired partner while beneath him was the muscle-bound figure to block any some of damage from that crash.
The two quickly got up as they looked at the giant creature with a scowl on their face while beads of sweat appeared on their brow, showing that they were extremely concerned now with the threat level that the armored monster posed to the entire group. Even Inner Moka was equally concerned about her safety, not to mention angry and bitter towards the fact the her casual kick merely put a few cracks in the exoskeleton of the gigantic beast.
"Excuse me, what the hell is that?!" the winged Yukai asked the pompadour teen with both anger, intrigue and confusion in her voice as she pointed towards the ghostly humanoid figure that stood closely next to said pompadour teen, who just glanced back at her and the rest of the group and gave an awkward and forced smile.
"Aw man, seems like I don't have a choice." he said while giving a long, winded sigh. "This is what''s called a Stand." he said as he took a step back as the large creature turned its head and looked at the entire group of Hunters and Huntresses-in-Training, making him gulp nervously. "It-it's considered the true manifestation of a person's soul, an extension of their Semblance taken to extreme and stretched in over a dozen different directions." he explained as the muscular figure walked in from of him and made a cross guard with its arms.
The giant Grimm looked at the group, which made them all sweat profoundly. "Look, I don't have time to explain if we want to survive this." the pompadour teen said as everyone took several steps backwards slowly as the colossal creature took a step forward towards them. "As we saw with Moka, this creature has to strong of a hide to penetrate with a regular attack, but I have a technique for something like that." the purple-haired young man said as the right arm of the muscular, ghostly figure floating next to him started to vibrate, and when everybody saw it, a big grin came up on Okuyasu and Koichi's faces.
"Oh, a charged punch right?!" they both asked in unison, much to the confusion of the rest of the group.
"Charged punch? Sounds cool and all, but how do you do it?" Yang asked with curiosity as she glared at the arm of the Stand, which started to vibrate slightly faster. She then looked at the Terramaw with a nervous smile on her face as her skin lost all color and she chuckled nervously.
Josuke sighed as everyone continued to take steps backward. "Well, since [Crazy Diamond] is a close-range Stand, it's punches can reach insane speed, but their power will stay consistent with every punch. Charged Punch is basically vibrating the Stand's arm with increasing speed to increase the strength of the punch with higher and higher speed. Instead of punching at hypersonic speed thousands of times at regular strength, Charged Punch is a single punch flying beyond the speed of light, with all the mass intact to deliver a devastating attack." Josuke explained as he looked with fear at the Terramaw.
"Well, that's good, isn't it?" Jaune asked with a bit of a higher pitch into his voice, which sounded a little bit girly.
"Unfortunately Josuke isn't like our teacher, Mr. Jotaro. It takes him too long to charge this punch." Koichi said as he was sweating buckets while looking at the massive creature of darkness in front of them, as well as looking up to the sky to see the Elder Nevermore circling around them.
"Well isn't that just fantastic?! What do we do now?!" Weiss asked angrily and with a snarky tone to her voice, truly unsure of what do to as fear was overwhelming her mind.
The pompadour teen then gave a nervous smirk. "Well, for that I have another technique. A secret technique which only I have been taught." he said with a confident, yet clearly nervous tone to his voice.
"A secret technique?!" Ruby and Nora asked as stars appeared in their eyes.
On the other hand, Koichi and Okuyasu looked at one another with fearful expressions. 'Is it that technique?' they thought to themselves mentally.
The rest of the group looked at him with curiosity. "Well what is it?" the red-head champion asked with curiosity in her voice as she was also sweating slightly with her glares constantly shifting to the Terramaw.
The pompadour teen gave a slight chuckle as he tapped his left thigh. "Well, I'll need to use my legs since this one is clearly vulnerable at the area of his body." he said as his expression turned more nervous and still his grin grew wider.
Koichi merely gulped, remembering when Mr. Jotaro had taught Josuke the theory of the technique. He knew that this would cause quite a reaction from everyone else. 'This better end well...but it won't!' he thought to himself.
The next one to speak was the purple-haired Ice-Maiden. "Oh I see, you want us to use our legs to cause a distraction to give you time to charge your attack. In that case I'll use my legs to send an ice trail to freeze the Terramaw's legs." she said as she prepared to go on the offense.
The young man shook his head. "Naw, good strategy though. No...the secret technique is..." he started saying as everyone payed close attention to him. His entire body shook with fear and his muscles were tense and prepared for his body to perform the ancient secret technique that he was talking about.
His two friends immediately prepared their bodies as well for what was to come.
Then Josuke turned around and immediately started running away with his Stand disappearing completely into thin air, hightailing his ass out of there. "RUN AWAY EVERYONE!" he screamed at the top of his lungs as he ran as fast as his Aura-enhanced body allowed him to push the limitations of his body.
"You heard him, let's run away now!" Okuyasu shouted as both he and Koichi immediately started running after their friend as fast as they possibly could.
"Some secret technique! That's just running away!" Weiss and Kurumu shouted angrily as everyone started following the teens from Morioh, with the more aggressive Moka even rolling her eyes, running as fast as possible away from the gargantuan Grimm, which was now burrowing deep underground to follow them, with the Elder Nevemore in the sky started following them in the air.
After a few second of running, the Ice Maiden formed a small wall of ice while freezing the grass under her to form an area to skate forward on her trail, accelerating her speed. "I actually thought it was kinda funny." she said stoically with a matching expression on her face as she passed right by the long, raven-black haired girl from Morioh.
"So did I." Yukako said as a light flared around her body for an instant, a sign that she had just burned a bit of Aura to enhance her attributes further for a small amount of time.
They didn't know how long they had ran, but they knew that it was a few hours at most, as now they were in a much larger area which was covered in fog, but was also some place with more ruins. Much, much, much larger ruins than the one that they picked up their pieces in. It seemed like this was the ruins of a grand cathedral or something of that nature.
They then ran on an old stone bridge that looked like it was in a very bad shape. After passing the bridge there was a small chunk of land surrounded by the deep chasm with all but gigantic pillars of stone and a mountainside to climb on. That must have been their destination to reach upon making teams. Unfortunately in the skies flew the Elder Nevemore, ready to finally strike the Huntsmen-in-Training, while the giant Adult Terramaw burst out of the ground in front of the stone bridge, roaring with the hate of all the creatures of darkness.
"Why did it stop?" the blue-haired Succubus asked with confusion in her voice as everyone panted heavily to catch their breath after running for so long.
Tsukune squinted as he focused on the creature as it seemed to keep some distance from the edge when the answer came to him. "The Terramaw is an underground Grimm, so it probably doesn't have sense of sight, but some other senses to use to keep trace of its surrounding. It probably sensed that there was no ground ahead of him, so he just came out of the ground." the silver-haired boy took an educated guess as the creature stared at them. Okay, so maybe he wasn't completely right, but he wasn't completely wrong either.
"Tsk." Moka said dismissively as she did several stretches. "Whatever, we have no choice but to fight it, and I'm all for taking another kick at the bastard." she said with a bit of bitterness to her tone of voice as she prepared to dash over the bridge. However, before she could get too far, she was grabbed by the left hand of both Josuke's Stand and another one that appeared out of nowhere, but she quickly realized that it belonged to the thug-looking teen, as his Aura appeared like an aura of fire around his frame with a dark-blue hue.
"Hold your horses Moka," the pompadour adolescent said as he looked up at the Nevemore flying above them and then looked at the giant worm-like monster. "first we need to think of a strategy and gather as much information on this Terramaw." he said with a calculating tone to his voice as he then looked at his short, silver-colored hair friend. "Koichi, you're up." he said with a small smile on his face.
The short young man looked at his friend and gave a nervous nod as his eyes steeled themselves. "Okay, I'll make some noise close enough to it to see how it reacts." he said as he extended his arm forward and his green Aura blazed around his tiny frame like ethereal fire, while a weird creature formed on his extended arm. "Go, [Echoes]!" he ordered, to which the creature then started to fly down and then forward, until it reached a safe distance from the gigantic creature while also staying at the range of 50 meters away from it's master.
The small green creature then punched the ground it floated above, causing a kanji that was translated into "TAP!" formed on the ground and started to make noise that imitated the sound of feet hitting the ground perfectly before flying back to its grey-haired user. The large Grimm surprisingly then turned away from looking at the group, shifted its body in the direction of the ground with the kanji and launched itself at it, digging underground as it at whatever was in its path, before re-surging back up.
This made the pompadour teen smirk as the right arm of [Crazy Diamond] started to vibrate, slowly increasing its speed for a charged punch. "Okay, so now we know that while he has sight, he relies heavily on either sound or a solar ability that senses the vibrations on the ground." he said with a confident and calculating tone to his voice. "Now I have a good idea on how to take the Grimm down." he said as he looked up again at the large bird monster above their heads, circling in the sky around the ruins.
"What is it?" the silver-eyes boy asked with fear and curiosity in his voice as he inquired about the plan of one of his new friends.
Josuke merely smirked at the question. "It's quit simple honestly." he said as he looked around at all of the initiating Huntsmen and Huntresses-in-Training, while his Stand kept looking at the Terramaw's direction and kept charging its punch, increasing the power of the Charged Punch. "We split into two groups. The first group will include myself, Moka, Ren and Nora and some others to fight the Terramaw. While everyone else cuts down each and every leg of the bastard, I'll charge my punch, and when it's ready, which will happen in about four to five more minutes, I'll uppercut the Grimm with enough force to smash its armor apart. Then Moka can finish it off." he explained about how he was going to take on the creature, keeping a confident smirk while talking in a calculating tone.
At this point almost everyone both agreed with the purple-haired teen, the silver-haired vampire included, and everyone were shocked that someone who seemed as carefree as Josuke could sound so calculating and smart. At this point, Ruby looked up at the sky with determination in her silver eyes as he glare was focused on the giant bird that flew above their heads.
She then looked at the pompadour teen. "Hey Josuke," she called for the teen's attention, causing everyone to look at her as a confident smirk appeared on her face and her eyes were filled with determination. "My team and I will take the Nevermore down. The rest of you focus on the Terramaw." she said with a hopeful yet completely serious tone to her voice.
"What?! Are you insane?" Weiss inquired angrily as she glared at her partner, only to then roll her eyes as she groaned. "What am I saying? Of course you are." she said with a dismissive and still irritated tone to her voice as the entire team of four young Huntresses-in-Training looked at the circling Nevemore.
Blake immediately joined in on the conversation as she addressed Weiss, though her tone was more soft and introverted than it was earlier during their argument. "Look, I agree that having only four of us fighting it is insanity, but right now we need the strongest people here to fight the Terramaw." she told the SDC heiress with an aloof and distant tone to her voice. She then took a deep sigh before speaking again. "And in order for all four of us to work together, the two of us need to at least put our issues aside until that thing is dead." she said as she pointed at the giant bird in the sky, while Yang stood next to her younger sister with a smile on her face. "I want to say that whatever I said about you was uncalled for. You're right, I don't know anything about your life and I took my own problems on you." Blake apologized as she extended her hand. "So shall we call it a truce?" she asked the white-haired girl as she kept a stoic expression while her voice was filled with genuine regret.
Weiss, while still a bit snobbish, extended her own hand and shook her now teammate's hand. "Very well, apology accepted. We'll sideline our own problems until at least we get out of this alive." she said as she let go of the hand of the brooding girl on her team as she walked pass her and looked at the sky, straight at the team's foe. Then she turned around and her face showed some form of regret, as if a mask was pulled off her face and a more genuinely caring girl had revealed herself. "And...I know I have been a bit too...grating myself." she said as she looked at her partner with sincerity and a bit of remorse as she spoke. A moment later, however, her face had a slight blush on it as she turned around and unsheathed her sword. "But it's not like I'm saying it's not your fault, you dolt!" she said with a bit of an embarrassed tone to her voice as she raised her blade up, pointing it at the sky. "Now let's go and kill this bird!" she said as she started running ahead of her teammates, with Blake reacting a few seconds later.
Both Yang and Ruby had gigantic, satisfied grins on their faces as they both raised their fists in the air. "YEAH!" they both shouted in unison as the blonde brawler started to run as fast as she could to catch up to the two other girls while the girl in the red cloak unsheathed her scythe and dashed forward with her Speed Semblance, leaving a large trail of rose petals behind her as she caught up to her teammates and left them all in the dust in an instant.
The others looked at this with several emotions on their faces, ranging from heartfelt joy at this to indifference, but all of them snapped back from their thoughts on the new team of girls that had volunteered to fight off the Elder Nevermore when they heard a "ZAP!" sound, causing them to turn around to see a spark coming from the blur that was the hand of [Crazy Diamond], causing the pompadour teen to smirk.
"Good, seems like all of their ruckus gave me a bit of time to charge more power into this." he said as he looked at his Stand's right arm and then looked at the giant Terramaw that once again had surfaced a few dozen meters from the stone bridge that separated them and it apart. He then raised his left arm in the air, riling up everyone else. "Now let's get that bastard!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.
In that very instant, the silver-haired vampire charged forward across the bridge. "Let's not waste any time then. I want to blow that bastard apart, so your plan better work, Higashikata." she told her partner with a cold and impatient tone to her voice as she quickly passed the bridge, reaching the creature very quickly before dashing to the side, gaining its attention.
The second one to act was Mizore, who had seen Moka's movements as a signal, causing her to run as fast as she could across the bridge as the giant worm Grimm started to turn around in order to track the vampire's movements and attack her, but it's large mass had prevented that from happening as the with a loud scream the woman kicked one of the Grimm's legs so hard that it tore it off the creatures body into the air, making the Grimm wail in pain as it started to flail its body. At the same time the Ice Maiden crossed the bridge and stopped. With a big stomp on the ground, a wave of ice started to cross across the ground until it reached beneath the Grimm and slowly rose up as a glacier of ice was forming under it, while the area of connection between the armored body and it's remaining 27 legs were frozen with more and more layers of ice.
However, the stomp that she did caused her to gain the attention of the Terramaw, as it started to fight against the ice wave by wiggling its entire body until it broke through the layers of ice, much to the purple-haired woman's shock. The creature started to turn around as its senses detected the direction of where the ice erupted from the ground, as it took it a little bit of time to do so, but the shock and fright of the monstrous Goliath had shaken and frozen the Ice Maiden in place.
The others had then also ran on they started their own assault on the gigantic Grimm. As the Grimm had finally turned around and looked down at the purple-haired young woman, the vampiress had used another kick, this time a downward flip kick to break one of the creature's leg as she grunted loudly and furiously, causing the monster to wail in pain once more. This shook the purple-haired young woman out of her fright, as she stomped on the ground once more, creating a large wave of ice from her foot, which started to quickly stack up under the monster. This time her purpose was to lift it above the ground so that it couldn't move, and she won't stop no matter how much of her ice it broke.
The creature didn't sat there and did nothing, as it swang its head towards the Ice Maiden with the intentions of killing her with the force of its mass and heavy armored exoskeleton. However, in between the two arrived Tsukune, who crossed his arms and activated his Semblance, forming a force-field around himself, which gravitated and forced the creature's attack to chance direction towards his force-field, as was the effect of his Semblance to draw harm to himself, to stand as a wall to defend others.
However, much to his misfortune, he underestimated the strength of his barrier and the power of the Grimm's swing. As the massive head unnaturally hit against the force-field that his Semblance created, it immediately shattered along with his Aura, as his Aura already took some damage earlier trying to save Moka and didn't have enough time to fully recover. As a result of that, Tsukune was sent flying hard, as his body slammed into the ground and bounced off it several times before his body seemed to stop and jerk unnaturally, only to somehow fly towards a strange humanoid figure that stood next to Okuyasu, who had a flaming blue Aura around him.
The thug-looking teen grabbed the injured Huntsman-in-Training and layed him on the ground next to the purple-haired Ice Maiden. "Hey Koichi, which one of use should keep watch over him?" he asked his short-stature friend, who had just arrived from running across the bridge. He then looked at his Yukai partner. "Hey Mizure, I think that if Koichi has a plan, you should follow it. He kinda sucks at giving and taking hits, but he's really smart using his power, much smarter than me so I trust either him or Josuke to make the decisions." he complimented his friend while rubbing the back of his head, only to look at the giant creature. Koichi meanwhile blushed at his friend's compliment, but he immediately flowed with ethereal aura as his Stand appeared next to him.
The grey-haired teen then looked at the purple-haired girl with the lollipop in her mouth. "Um...Mizore right?" he nervously asked for her name, to which she simply nodded in confirmation to his question.
"And you're Koichi, right? Do you have a plan for me to do something against it?" she inquired of the short man as she shuttered and blushed in embarrassement while also thinking for a little bit before answering the girl's question.
After nearly twenty seconds, his eyes became firm and determined as he looked at the creature that had suddenly started thrashing about as a measure of defense against its opponents. He looked back at the Yukai and gave her a nod. "Yeah. Since I can't attack, I will stand here next to you. Wait for when we get the best opportunity to strike. When that time comes, I'll give you a signal and you'll blast that thing with all of the ice you can emit." he told her with a stern tone to his voice that he tried picking up from his mentor in order to boost his own confidence. However, after a few seconds of looking directly into the young woman's eyes, he lost all of that confidence and felt like his legs turned to jelly and his face turned red. "Um, a-are you o-okay with just s-stading here waiting for m-my order?" he asked with a timid and nervous tone to his voice, hoping not to make the young woman upset.
After hearing that question from the short Huntsman-in-Training and seeing how he looked so straight and confident in his idea to immediately trying to making sure she was okay with it simply made Mizore to gave him a small yet kind smile. "Sure, I'm okay with that." she said made a small wall of ice around the uncscious Tsukune. "Stand behind me. As teammates I need to have your back, right?" she asked him as she gave the grey-haired teen a reasuring smile.
At the same time the other Huntsman-in-Training were running around the behemoth of a Grimm and starting to attack the giant and thick legs of the monster, who kept on flailing around both his large body and his numerous legs around in order to strike down its assailants.
Around one of the legs on the creature's left side was the blonde teen in white armor charged at one of the legs with uncertainty in his heart as he prepared himself to strike at the giant leg of the monster. 'Alright Jaun, you can do this. You have Aura now. You can do this. You can become a Huntsman now. You just have to reach the top of that hill...which is blocked by the giant bird that Ruby, Weiss and the rest of their team are fighting riiiight now.' he thought to himself as he looked back to see the new team of Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang standing on top of a tower and firing Dust rounds at the Elder Nevemore.
He started to shake and quiver, looking back at the giant armored creature that he had been preparing to strike, while also seeing some others already taking out some legs, especially Inner Moka, who had rapidly struck and amputated legs left and right by kicking them at the full brunt of her massive strength. Also at the time the black-haired girl from Morioh had lengthened her hair and used it to hold a leg in place, to which the Succubus then started to slash it over and over and over with her long claws as she flew above the leg with her wings, with each cut releasing a bit of a black smoke and dodging whenever the leg was thrashing.
The blonde young man took several deep breaths as he griped the handle of his sword with all of his strength, which was now enhanced thanks to the large amounts of Aura that was now flowing as a protective shield on his skin. 'All you have to do is help take this thing down. You can do this, you miserable liar. Now this is the chance to prove yourself and slice at that large Grimm's leg!' he admonished and pumped himself mentally as a loud scream of determination came out of his throat as he jumped towards one of the legs while holding his sword in one hand and his shield in the other.
"HYA!" he shouted as he started to fall down towards the leg, too pumped with adrenaline to notice how high he actually jumped with his enhanced strength in his legs. He brought his shield in front of his body to protect himself while lowering his sword in a slashing motion towards the leg. To his surprise, the blade struck true and cut pretty deep into the black and armorless leg of the Terramaw, causing the black smoke to be released from the cut, causing the creature to wail and screech more not only from that, but from the other legs it was losing already, as the leg that was being held by Yukaku and slashed by Kurumu was already halfway cut completely from the creature's body.
The fact that he managed to cause damage to the giant caused a massive smile to appear on the man's face as pride in his success filled him with joy, only for it to turn into an expression of utter terror as the Terramaw started to flail the leg with great might, sending Jaune flying backwards and into the sky as his weapons were still in his arms as the blade detatched itself from the leg and the shield protected him from the brunt of the impact.
"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" he screamed in fear as he was flying through the air in an arc towards the casm underneath the hills, as he was spinning and getting a feeling of nausea very quickly. Much to Jaune's great fortune, his rescue came in quickly, as he was caught in the air by the blue-haired Succubus. When he looked up in confusion to realize what had happened, he noticed the rather busty Yukai straining to hold him.
Despite the strained and hefty grunts of effort, the blue-haired girl looked at Jaune with a rather flirty cheshire grin on her face. "H-hey there handsome, q-quite heavy for such a pretty boy, aren't you?" she flirted with a rather strained tone to her voice as her expression changed to that of strugle as she tried to keep her hold on the Huntsman-in-Training as she flew towards the small barrier of ice.
Despite the young man's fear, he tried not to look down and just gave a nervous smirk to the girl while he was sweating out of fear of falling down to the abyss below. "W-well, I don't like b-being saved, but I can give a bit of a thank you to such a beauty like you. I-I'm Jaune, by the way." he flirted back with a bit of fear in his voice, still afraid of falling down to his death.
The succubus then blushed slightly as she flew closer towards the section next to the bridge, where Koichi and Mizore stood to cover for the unconscious partner of the blue-haired girl. "Why thank you sweety, I c-can't say that I ain't pleased to hear such a pleasant compliment from a cutey like y-" she started to flirt with the young blonde with a joyful yet strained tone to her voice, but in the middle of her sentence that her grip on the teen slipped, causing her to accidentally let him go, causing him to fall towards the ground, much to their mutual shock, which froze the flying girl for a few moments. "Oh crap!" she shouted as her body tensed in suspense and shock.
"HELP!" Jaune screamed at the top of his lungs in terror as he fell down towards the ground. Sure, it was better than falling down into the abyss below, ut he still didn't think he could survive the fall, forgetting that he had his Aura unlocked. He thrashed wildly in the air as he screamed in utter terror as he was plummeting down to a rather harsh crash into the ground below. "SOMEBODY!" he kept on screaming and whining as he fell down further.
At around the same time that Kurumu flew away to catch the blonde boy after he was sent flying by the Terramaw, Yukaku kept her hair, which was lengthen with her Semblance to wrap and hold the Grimm's large leg, which was already halfway cut while the monster itself was struggling more and more by trying to hit its attackers with its body mass and legs, sighed with annoyance at the Yukai's actions. "Great, how am I supposed to cut this leg myself?" she asked herself with a slightly irritated and exasparated tone to her voice.
Her question was quickly asnwered when a round bronze shield and a red and golden spear pierced the leg in the area that the succubus had already cut with her long and sharp claws, and much to the surprise of the Mistrali girl from Morioh, the red-head champion suddenly landed on the shield, slamming both of her feet into it as a bright grey glow appeared around her frame. 'Boost!' she thought in her mind as she used all of her force to press the shield down and back with enough force for the shield to cut throught the leg and finally seperating it from the monster's body. A moment later Yukaku let out a mighty grunt as she turned her head towards and used all of her might and hair to throw away the large black leg as the monster screeched once more.
At that time was when Kurumu accidentally let go of Jaune and he fell down towards the ground, so the force of the red-head's maneuver launched herself towards the falling blond at tremendous speed. it didn't take her too long, as after the second plea of her partner to be saved, she reached him and used her Semblance to attach her arm to his armor's breast plate while stabbing his hoodie with her spear in a way that wouldn't hurt him.
Pyrrha then looked at the group next to the bridge. "I'm sorry!" she shouted as she threw the spear ahead towards the ground with all of her might, knowing that someone will catch it at time, so she did so, then outstretching her arm towards her blue-haired teammate, who quickly grabbed her hand with both of her hands as the two slowly descended down next to the group.
"WHAAA!" the blone teen shouted as he was launched at the ground, scared out of his mind over what had happened in such a short time with all the fallings he had to suffer for one day. It was then he felt his momentum stopped and he slipped off the spear and fell on the ground with a light "THUD!". He looked up to see what happened, and he saw Pyrrah's spear being held by the left hand of [Crazy Diamond], with the pompadour teen standing next to his Stand and next to Jaune with a warm smile on his face.
"You looked like you needed a hand there Jaune." he said with a cheeky tone to his voice as he still charged his big punch, which at this point the arm was almost invisible while lines of plasma erupted around it like lightning. "Anyway, I finished charging my attack, so this will end quickly." he said with confidence in his voice.
Up in the sky, Kurumu looked down with a dejected and bitter expression on her face. 'Just my luck. First my cute as hell partner fawns over Moka like everyone else, and now another cutey on my team caught the attention of the Invincible Girl. That's just not fair.' she thought to herself as a wrinkle appeared on her brow.
While all of that was happening on one side of the Terramaw, on the other side the others were handling the legs much better than the first group. Okuyasu had his Stand rapidly rasing and lowering his right hand over and over again, which he had practiced for two years on how to do.
VRUSH!
VRUSH!
VRUSH!
VRUSH!
Over and over again that sound repeated as [The Hand] scrapped a large part of a single leg of the Terramaw out of existance as black smoke came out from the stumps as the leg was completely severed after the fourth swing.
Ren and Nora were also having an easy time ridding the monster of its legs. With each leg Ren would put his hands as something for his partner to bounce off from. Whenever she got up on his hands, there was a sudden powerful pink glow of Aura around Ren's frame for only an instant. 'Boost!' he said internally as he pushed his best friend up with tremendous force, enough for her to reach high into the air. Nora then started to spin as she fell plummeted down extremely fast with her hammer prepared to cruch the leg she was aiming at. When the blow had met its mark, landing true with all of the powerful girl's might behind it, a loud "POW!" sound boomed and echoed across the air as the entire limb was amputated from the utter force, spraying black fog and ash from both stamps and when the hammer continued and crashed against the ground with a loud "BOOM!" sound, a crater was formed under it.
"Yay! Breaking legs is fun!" the orange-haired girl squealed in a jovial tone to her voice as as she lifted Magnhild over her shoulder as she ran to deal with another leg, with her partner giving a sigh before following her as they continued their offense against the monster.
Inner Moka was just doing her thing, kicking the limbs with all of her might, and her full strength had done nearly the same thing as Nora did alongside Ren, as each kick amputated the leg of the Terramaw that she kicked. At this point though, Moka growled with frustration, as the fact that it took all of this work to take down this Grimm. She hated it. She hated it that she couldn't take this beast down herself.
After all of those successful amputations of most of the armored Grimm's legs and its failure to harm any of the Huntsman-in-Training, the Terramaw had finally down something different. It slammed its head into the ground and, much to the surprise of everyone, dug himself back into the ground, entering it so quickly that the element of surprise catched them all.
They were lost on what to do now as they looked around, almost taking a step to try and look for the thing as each and every person thought of what to do. "WAIT! DON'T MOVE!" Jaune ordered everyone, getting their attention and stopping them from moving in order to listen to him. "That Grimm has some sort of underground sonar sense. It would able to eat each and every one of us if we move wildly chasing it." he explained as he himself sat on the ground, not moving an inch, edspite how afraid he was.
"Then what do we do?!" Okuyasu asked loudly as he kept on standing in place, trying his best not to move as [The Hand] floated next to him neutrally.
"Yeah, how are we supposed to defeat it or run away from it?" Kurumu asked as she floated in the air next to the Mistrali champion, who immediately tugged Kurumu's leggings and gave a reasuring smile to the blue-haired girl, much to said girl's confusion.
Jaune groaned and sweat as the gears in his head worked like a well-oiled machine. He then looked at the shortest one in the group, who stood next to his purple-haired teammate. "Koichi, what can your Semblance do?" he inquired from the Huntsman-in-Training as a strategy already formed in his head.
Koichi's expression changed as if suddenly a lightbulb lit up in his brain as he gave a big, confident smile to the blonde in armor. "[Echoes] can create a kanji of a sound effect that makes these sound effects. It's not a strong Stand or Semblance, but it's incredibly versitile." he explained as he already knew what to do, causing him to glow with a flaming green aura as his mechanical looking Stand appeared right next to him.
Jaune gave the grey-haired teen an approving nod. "And how far can that thing reach?" he inquired once more with a focused yet intrigued tone to his voice.
"50 meters away from where I am." Koichi responded with focus and confidence in his voice as the two locked eyes with an understanding between them.
Jaune smirked. "Then you know what you gotta do." he said rather than asked, as the two had already managed to agree on their next move.
Koichi gave a smirk and an understanding and focused nod to the blonde, as then he locked eyes with the Ice Maiden. "Mizore, when that thing pops back up, blast it with everything you've got to hold it in place." he ordered her with confidence and determination filling his voice, surprising the girl with how strong he was when push came to shove. However, Mizore wasn't the only one who was shocked, as Yukaku bluched a bit after feeling the commanding presence of the grey-haired teen.
Josuke then spoke as a grin formed on his mouth. "And after that big worm is held tight, I'll blast it with the charged punch, which might be enough to kill it, or at least rid it of its armored shell of bones." he explained the next bit of the plan as he caught up exactly to what the two Huntsmen-in-Training were planning in their heads. Not that it was that hard for him to think of the exact same plan as them.
Moka then grinned herself. "And if that isn't enough to kill it, I'll just kick it with everything I've got, to make sure it dies." she spoke with a smug tone to her voice, as she clenched her hands into fists as she felt a thrilling sensation from the idea of finishing the creature.
"We'll help!" Ren and Nora declared in unison, to which everyone simply nodded in agreement. The more the merrier.
"THEN LET'S GO!" the blonde knight shouted.
Koichi then extended his hand as the Stand flew forward. "Go, [Echoes]!" he ordered as the ethereal creature forwards as the Stand did as its master ordered, flying as faster as it could forward until it would reach it's range limit. When it did reach 50 meters away from Koichi, it punched the ground, causing a kanji that translated into "TAP!" appeared on the ground, before the sound effect conveyed started to play.
"Tap tap tap tap tap! Tap tap tap tap tap! Tap tap tap tap tap!" echoed loudly across the plains repeatedly as everyone heard it. Since it was on the ground, they knew that there was no way that the Grimm wouldn't hear it and try to attack the origin of the sound. And they were right, as the ground beneath them started to shake, and several of the group were somewhat close to the kanji that was on the ground.
"Everybody JUMP!" Jaune ordered them, to which they didn't try to protest and simply did, so Okuyasu, Moka, Ren, Nora and Yukaku jumped back away from the kanji. A few moments after they jumped back, the ground under the knaji fell apart as the Terramaw sprung up from underneath to attack the origin of the sound, just like Jaune, Koichi and Josuke assumed would happen.
"Mizore, now!" Koichi ordered his teammate, giving her the singnal to use her powers to their fullest extent.
"HA!" the purple-haired teen shouted as a powerful wave of ice erupted forward, creating a large glacier that quickly reached its target, only to then instead of going upwards started to move around the large body of the Grimm while also thickening itself into layers of ice, creating an entire wall around the creature's body, fully putting it in a hold that it could not nmove in an attempts to break.
At the same time, Josuke jumped on the already formed ice and ran on the large elemental spikes as he rushed to reach his target, the still vibrating arm of his Stand being cocked back as bolts of plasma kept erupting from it, melting whatever part of the ice that the bolts hit. It didn't take long for the pompadour teen to reach the Grimm, which was held tight in place with its head facing upwards and its exoskeletal belly was facing the young Huntsman-in-Training. When he was finally face-to-face with the protected belly, he noticed that the armor there seemed more fragile than the defensive bones on its other side.
Finally the blurred arm became visible again as Josuke released all of that energy that he charged into the punch. "Charged Punch! DORRRAAAA!" he roared at the top of his lungs as the ethereal arm slammed into the armored stomach of the giant creature, causing a crack in it that took a few seconds to spread across the entire armored exoskeleton of the Terramow. There was then a sudden and powerful shickwave that echoed in a loud "BOOM!" sound that broke apart all of the ice that Mizore formed a bit earlier and sent Josuke flying backwards while the Terramaw was also sent backwards skidding across the ground with its entire exoskeleton crumbled to little tinny pieces, exposing its black body as it thrashed around and wailed in pain while lying on its back as a huge hole in its black stomach leaked black smoke, showing the devestating damage that it took. However, it was still alive.
At that point, Josuke was flying backwards with tremendous force, but his tragectory quickly changed as instead of flying back sky-high, he felt himself falling down, which he did as he then fell into the arms of [The Hand] which stood next to the purple-haired adolescent's best friend. "I got you man." Okuyasu said with a big grin on his face, making Josuke chuckle as he gave his best friend a thumbs up.
"Thanks, Okuyasu." he said back to his friend with gratitude.
"Anytime, buddy." the thug-looking teen reasured his best friend once more.
After that, Ren crouched down and put on hand over the other, as he did earlier to throw Nora up into the sky. "Nora, Moka, I'll give you a lift. Finish it now." he said with a calm tone to his voice, but his best friend knew that he meant business, and so did Ineer Moka, as she had a good feeling of reading the young man. Both of them nodded as first Nora ran and jumped on Ren's hands, to which Ren flared his Aura strongly around his body. 'Boost!' he said in his mind as he launched the orange-haired girl high up into the sky, with Moka following and doing the same by jumping on Ren's hand, to which he did the same thing as he did with Nora, launching the vampire up high into the sky.
As the two teammates moved in the air in an arc motion towards the downed and injured giant Grimm, they both prepared to stike with everything they had. Moka started spinning in the air as all of the muscles in her left leg tesnsed and strained as she prepared to use that leg to finish off the Terramaw, while Nora did the same thing while holding her hammer Magnhild with all of her might. The two span faster and faster as gravity did its job and the two fell down towards the belly of the beast, ready to slay it using their might alone. Despite the momentum, they were still prepared to hit true on the Grimm that gave all of them so much trouble.
"HYAAAAA!" Nora roared as she finally stopped her spinning momentum and held her hammer overhead, laying it down as the two almost reached their target.
At the same time Inner Moke stretched her left leg in preperation to crash it into the body of Grimm that had pissed her off so much today. "KNOW YOUR PLACE!" she screamed at the top of her lunges with rage, frustration and anticipation.
A few moments afterwards the two girls hit the enormous body of their adversary. Their attack slammed against it with such force that the monster was split apart in half with a loud "POW!" sound echoing loudly. The force of the unison attack was so strong that it created a large crater under the corpse of the two halves of the Grimm, which slowly started to disipate into black smoke and ash and the ground beneath the large group shook violently, getting them all off balance. Despite the small earthquake, everyone smilled with relief as they finally killed the Terramaw. Nora raised both of her arms above her head and cheered wildly, while everyone chuckled at the girl's enthusiasm, except for Inner Moka, Mizore, Yukako and Ren, who simply gave small smiles.
"BOOM!" a loud shotgun sound was heard behind them, causing them all to look to where they figured the origin of the sound was, only to see Ruby at the top of the huge cliff above them all as the corpse of the decapitated Elder Nevemore fell off the cliff right into the abyss below them, and it took a bit of a while.
"Did she just-" Jaune and Koichi started to ask in shock and disbelief of what they just saw, but they were quickly cut off mid question.
"Yep." Josuke answered with a big, proud smile on his face. "That Ruby sure is something." he said with an exhausted expression filling his face and a matching tone in his voice came out of his mouth with the words, but it was clear that he was amazed at this big feat that was just pulled.
It was dusk when Outer Moka woke up. She didn't know where she was, but she quickly checked that her Rosario was in place, and her hand quickly felt up the cross that was around her neck, causing her to feel a bit confused.
"I was worried about you." She heard a familiar gentle voice, making her look to her left and she spotted Tsukune lying against a metallic wall with wraps around his body in several places, along with a cast around his arms.
He looked injured, which immediately alarmed Moka. "Tsukune! Are you alright?! Did somebody else get hurt?! Did I fail? Did Inner Moka came out?" she inquired with alarm and urgency in her voice as her nose picked up a smell, a very sweet and tempting smell.
The silver-eyes teen chuckled in pain. "Yeah, she did, and she was amazing, just like you." he said as he groaned in pain. "My Aura broke against the Terramaw and I got pretty badly injured, including getting both of my arms broken. It will take time for my Aura to fully recover and then my arms will be repaired by next morning. Still hurts though." he explained while also complaining about his injuries.
Moka now paid more attention to the smell than before as she immediately identified what it was. Blood. She was smelling Tsukune's blood, which was filling her nose with an incredibly sweet aroma, making her blush a bit. "Well, I'm just glad you're okay." she said as she tried to lower her face in order to not look at him and think about the sweet aroma of his blood that had filled his bandages.
Tsukune smiled warmly. "Well, I'm just glad you're okay." he said as he also lowered his head, blushing a little bit, but from a different reason. "The others told me that when they put back the Rosario in its place according to the other Moka's request, she fell down unconscious and changed back to you. You were unconscious for around an hour, which is thirty minutes after we got on this air bus, so I was just worried about you." he told her as his face turned a bit more red and his small and warm smile grew slightly wider.
Moka face also turned completely red from the same reason as the boy next to her, making her look at him as she was starting to twirl her fingers. "W-well, thanks for w-w-worrying about me, b-but that always h-h-happens when Inner Moka and I change between one another. But t-thank you nontheless." she stumbled and mumbled her words as the silver-eyed boy looked at her with his deep and caring eyes, but the scent of his blood drove her insane, forcing her face to slowly get closer to Tsukune's.
"Moka..." he said as he saw that her face was getting closer to his, so he also started to push his face closer to hers. 'Is she really going to k-k-kiss me?!' he thought to himself in a panic, not completely sure about what was going to happen, but his face turned as red a tomatoe from imagining the idea of him kissing Moka. 'There is a chance of kissing the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, I can't let it go to waste!' he kept thinking to himself as his face got closer to Moka's.
"Tsukune..." Moka said as she blushed further red, speaking as if she was entering some sort of a trance as her face got closer to Tsukune's.
"Moka..." The silver-eyed Huntsman-in-Training said as his face got closer to hers.
"Tsukune..."
"Moka..."
CHOMP~
Suddenly Moka bit into Tsukune's neck, with a cutesy chomp grunt coming out of her mouth, making it sound completely cute and innocent as she started to suck the teen's blood from his neck, much to Tsukune's shock and terror.
"WHAA!" he screamed in pain at the top of his lungs as he felt his blood being sucked out of him by the vampire. 'She's drinking my blood! Is that what she wanted?! She really is a vampire!' he thought to himself as he tried to resist and thrash around, but his bandages and casts were preventing him from doing so.
Luckily for him the door almost immediately opened after he shouted, with both Josuke and Kurumu entering the room. Kurumu immediately growled as she grabbed the pink-haired vampiress by the shoulders and tried to yank her away from her partner. "Hey, get away from him! He's not some snack you can drink, you hussy!" she said angrily as Josuke helped by pulling Kurumu back.
With the two of them working together, they managed to pull Moka away from Tsukune, who had blood sprouting from the two holes that were caused by the vampiress' fangs. The pompadour teen immediately sighed and glowed pink as the hands of [Crazy Diamond] formed around his hands, which he then put on Tsukune's neck. "I knew I shouldn't have listened to Ospin and heal you yourself." he said as a pink light washed over Tsukune, making the holes in his neck disappear and for whatever injuries he suffered during the initiation to be completely healed instantly, including the broken arms.
Moka quickly returned to her sense, as she realized what she has done and put both hands on her mouth as she started to cry. "I'm sorry Tsukune, I didn't mean to drink your blood. I'm so sorry! I just don't drink a lot of blood so when I can smell blood I get a bit too hungry to resist. I'm really sorry, I promise never to do that again." she apologized to her friend while crying and desperately pleading to him for forgiveness.
Tsukune, who was now being healed, looked at the apologizing girl who was pleading with increase intensity, to which he just stood up as he felt himself being completely healed from Josuke's Semblance as he extended his arm to her as she was crying on her knees. "It's okay then. All is forgiven. You didn't mean to, so all is forgiven." he told her with a friendly and caring tone to his voice as he offered her his hand, making her cry even more.
Sniffing for a few seconds, she wiped her tears away, only to grab his healed hand, which he used to lift her up. Next to them Josuke smiled with a warm smile on his face, but then he looked at the blue-haired succubus, and he noticed he angry and jealous expression as a bitter growl came from, which lit up a red flag in his hand, but he decided to not mention it for now.
Beacon Academy, Evening,
It had been a few hours since the end of the initiation test ended for the group of the four teams of Huntsman-in-Training. They were now on a large stage in the academy with the headlights shinning bright on them, with the rest of the students that had passed the initiation exam as well standing around the stage, waiting for their teams to be named.
Ozpin stood in front of the four teams with a smile on his face as both his hands were on the handle of his cane. "Congratulation to every single one of you here." he started his speech, which caused everyone's faces to turn bright with pride and joy, especially Ruby, who had believed that she had more than proved herself today. "For many hours you have pushed yourselves to your limits and proven not only to the faculty of this institution, but most importantly to yourselves, that every single one of you deserves the title of a Huntsman and Huntress in training, as well as deserving of your spot here at Beacon Academy, to learn how to protect the future and the peace of this world from the evil that is the Grimm." he spoke with a gentle yet authoritative tone to his voice, as Weiss made sure that her posture was as straight and perfect as it could possibly be.
"Now, it is time for all of these new teams of the first year academy students to receive their names. These names will be the ones your team will carry for the next four years, and those who are standing alongside you will be your best of friends and partners who will constantly watch your back." Ozpin kept on talking, as Josuke, Koichi and Okuyasu looked around the room, only to notice a familiar silhouette around the exit of the room, staring at them with his blue eyes. They all gave him a big smile before said person disappeared without a trace.
"Since these four teams have excelled the most throughout the initiation test today, we shall start with them." the headmaster kept on talking, as he looked towards the first group of the four. "Jaune Arc, Pyrrha Nikos, Tsukune Aono and Kurumu Kurono. You have showed today skills of leadership, tactical thinking, fighting prowess and the will to help each other that shall make you an extraordinary team. Your team shall be called JKPT and your leader shall be Jaune Arc." he said with a warm and proud smile on his face.
Jaune's eyes went wide with shock as his jaw fell from the disbelief of what he had just heard. He was going to be a team leader? But he didn't deserve it. What did he do today that made the headmaster of Beacon Academy to pick him as a leader? Did the headmaster knew the truth about his papers and was using this as punishment? All of these thoughts of doubt made his body shake as a concerned expression appear on his face, but he quickly felt a hand on his shoulder, making him look at his red-haired partner.
"You've earned it." she told him with pride in her voice as a large and wholesome smile was plastered on her face, forcing the blonde to merely nod.
The silver-haired Huntsman then looked at the second team. "Koichi Hirose, Okuyasu Nijimura, Yukako Yamagishi and Mizore Shirayuki. You have all shown a certain amount of intelligence, teamwork and unique abilities that allowed you all to excel. You are now team KYMO and your leader will be Koichi Hirose." he told them all with the same tone of professional yet prideful tone as he gave them all a proud smile.
Koichi, just like Jaune, was immediately doubtful. "Wait, headmaster. Do you really think I deserve the title of team leader?" he inquired of the older man, trying to hold back the tears that were starting to form in his eyes.
Okuyasu then put his hand on his friend's shoulder. "Of course you are! You're smarter than me, man." he said with a big grin on his face.
"Plus people will underestimate you, so you can easily prove them all wrong." Mizore interjected immediately as she tried to raise her new team leader's confidence. However, this got her a scowl from the black-haired girl, which the Yukai didn't notice at all.
"You also have a commanding presence that would put most people to shame." Yukako quickly joined praising the shorter teen, trying to one up her teammates immediately, and this got her a slight glare from the Ice Maiden, which she returned in favor with a small frown, which seemed to slightly confuse the Yukai.
"And lastly," Okuyasu started to talk once again, making the silver-haired youth to look at him with tears that were run from his eyes freely. "You've got no dignity bro." he joked around using Koichi's most hated joke, which caused Okuyasu's face to be immediately sandwiched between the fists of both of his female teammates.
Ozpin merely chuckled slightly at the display before going to the third group. "Josuke Higashikata, Moka Akashiya, Ren Lie and Nora Valkyrie, you have all shown great strength and skill that will make you the powerhouse of this year. You all come from either a great heritage or a humble beginning, but together you will ascend all of that to make a wonderful team. You are now Team JNRA, and you will be lead by Josuke Higashikata." he told all of them with pride in his voice as he kept his big smile on his face.
"Well that's kind of a lame name headmaster. No offense." Nora said with a bit of disappointment of hearing the name, while Josuke just seemed proud of where he was now.
Ozpin chuckled at that as he looked at the orange-haired girl. "The name isn't what matters. What matters is are the people who compose the teams." he told her with a restrained and fatherly tone as he walked towards the last group of the four, which was also considered as among those who were the best during the exam.
"Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao-Long, you have all showed conflicting personalities who can put their personal matters aside and work together like a well-oiled machine. You have fought and defeated an Elder Nevemore all by yourselves, with nothing but personal skills and astounding teamwork." he spoke of what their team did in the initiation exam, causing all of the people around the stage to whisper loudly in shock and disbelief over what they were hearing, in contrast to a few minutes ago, in which the only whispers were about how hot the girls were, especially Moka.
"I declare you now as team RWBY, and you shall be lead by the girl who had brought you all together to defeat the giant Grimm: Ruby Rose." he spoke with a lot of pride in his voice, as his authoritative and professional tone started to slip away.
Ruby herself was in shock, but a gigantic smile quickly appeared on her face as she jumped with a big hooray and shouted at the top of her lungs with joy, while her older half-sister grabbed her into a tight hug, which was very uncomfortable for the 15 years old in the red cloak.
Blake herself looked with uncertainty at the two sisters, not fully trusting Ruby as her new team leader, but she quickly shook her head. 'It's Okay. You can give her a chance, she had shown that she does deserve it. I'm going to support you as your teammate, Ruby.' she thought to herself as a small smile appeared on her face.
However, the one who was still frozen in shock was Weiss, who's eyes went insanely wide, almost comically so, as she just stared into the distance in silence, as her hands twitched repeatedly and she bit her lower lip hard. Very hard. "What." she said as her voice was barely heard among the joyful celebration of her new team leader and the blonde bruiser.
The next 5 minutes after team RWBY left the ceremony were consumed by a blood curdling scream of the Schnee heiress.
{To Be Continued]
[Ending Theme: Rather Be by Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne]
With the initiation test over, the new four teams are now a part of Beacon Academy, but that also means that their adventures are just beginning. What kind of wacky shenanigans would they get into? Find out through the rest of Volume 1.
It's done! It's fucking down! I finally gathered the mental will to finish this fucking chapter! This motherfucking initiation is motherfucking done! Now we can go to school life, teen drama and all of that shit! Finally I wrote myself out of the fucking forest! Let's rock y'all!
Now, as a little special bit of information, here are the voices I hear in my head when I write the chapters for each character. Each and every one of them has voice in my head based on Voice Actor/Actress and a specific role that has a voice similar enough to what I imagine for the characters. Most will have their original voices in my mind, but some have different voices. Let's get to the motherfucking list!

Well, that's all that I'm going to do for this chapter. It has been a long time and I hope that everyone will enjoy it to some degree. Otherwise, I've failed as a fanfic writer, which is not something that rare for me, mind you.
