Chapter 7 The Emerald Forest

Flash was out running Grimm in the vast forest. They were too slow for him this was just another easy task, he stopped grinning at the incoming beowulf pack. He dodged them with his speed and countered with his punches and kicks they were even times he felt sorry for the creatures, almost. Behind him more of them were charging only for the scarlet speedster to grinned more they would never learn. They were all beaten but not by his hand he was now smiling seeing that Ruby Rose was there to have his back. The young petite was holding her baby Crescent Rose giving nod to the vigilante that she was ready to fight. Together they have eliminated every Grimm in the area it was all thanks to their teamwork.

"We did it Ruby" he smiled at the young girl.

The rosette just smiled at him before suddenly a yellow gloved hand has went right through her chest. Flash was in shocked seeing that the glove has phased through her crushing her heart. Just like that Ruby felt to the ground dead and the speedster saw the one responsible. His eyes widened gazing at the Reverse Flash his eyes glowing red he has done the same thing he did when he killed his mother. But this couldn't be possible the evil speedster was dead, he remember he saw Joe shooting him three times. Then tears were falling taking another look at Ruby's motionless this wasn't happening has he lost another precious person? Has he failed to protect someone else again? He fell to his knees refusing to believe that she was gone.

"No Ruby..."

"It's your fault Barry, just like your mother" the Reverse Flash said with so much malice in his voice.

"No I didn't..."

"It will always be your fault. You will fail to protect those you care about over and over again."

"NO RUBY!"

"No Ruby..."

"Barry...?"

"Please no I don't..."

"Barry wake up!"

The speedster's eyes snapped open realizing he was in the ballroom. Gazing at one of the windows the sun was already up remembering that they spend the night with the new students. He saw he was in his sleeping bag with his sleeping clothes and took a glance that the whole place was empty he must have slept in. The only one present was Oliver who was already in his Arrow costume minus the hood and the mask. Barry felt so relief it was all just a dream, a really bad dream. He would never forgive himself if something happens to Ruby on his watch. The thought of losing the petite was too much for him it will devastate him more than when he lost his mother.

"Oliver, sorry I guess I kinda overslept."

"Yes you did, hurry and suit up the initiation is about to begin."

"Right...I had quite the dream..."

"Ruby died."

"What? How did you-"

"You were mumbling her name."

"Oh it was that obvious..."

"We can talk about it later."

"Right."

(Location: Emerald Forest Vale Remnant)

The Flash stood not too far from the hill where he and Oliver were when they were given that mission to decreased the numbers of Grimm. He already knew the headmaster was planning to launch the students with the launching pads just like he did with them. He hoped the students will know what to do and try to land safely unlike him. Everyone has gathered with Ozpin in the front and Goodwitch next to him, obviously he was explaining the rules to the newbies. Everyone was present from the students he met Jaune, Phyrra, Ruby, Yang, Blake and even Weiss he knew they will be fine they were strong in their own way. And he was pretty sure they will do just fine remembering what the headmaster has told them, find a partner, find a relic and return to the top of the cliff. Of course they will have to face the Grimm inhabiting the forest.

His scroll beeped opening to received a call" I'm in position."

*Same with me, remember what Ozpin told us. We don't interfere unless the situation becomes critical.*

"I have a feeling that won't be necessary, we did clean out must of the Grimm."

*Just keep your eyes open the second the students are in danger we jump in.*

"They may be first years but they're no amateurs I've seen Ruby fight, and Phyrra too from her tournaments and you already know Blake is no beginner. This initiation its already in the bag."

*You can never be too certain, and make sure no one sees you. Ozpin made it clear that we shouldn't be seen by the students.*

"Roger I'll stay out of sight" the scarlet speedster ended the communication.

He activated the scroll into a footage been provided by the many small surveillance cameras planted all over the forest. Deciding to get a better view at the top of the cliff it looked like they were ready they have gotten in a fighting stance. One by one they were been launch into the air Yang, Ruby and Jaune were the last to be sent flying. The last ended up screaming in panic, obviously he was caught in surprise like he didn't saw it coming. Then the blond teen was hit by some kind of spear probably saving his life. A smile spread over his face realizing the weapon belongs to Phyrra the red head warrior has saved Jaune's life from what will be a very painful fall.

The speedster decided to watch another person he wanted to check on during the initiation. Of course it was Ruby the red and black haired girl has successfully made a safe landing using her scythe and she was currently running desperate to find her sister, it was the obvious choice for the petite. He has heard the rules from Ozpin first hand that the students needed to find a partner in order to proceed in the initiation and also in order to gain a relic, getting a partner was part of the key to pass. Barry's eyes widened when Ruby found someone and it wasn't the person she was hoping for, he shook his head at her bad luck. For she was made eye contact with Weiss Schnee the same person who has given her a bad time during her first day at the academy.

As soon as the white haired heiress saw who was supposed to be her partner for the next four years, she immediately turned the other way. The vigilante didn't like that she just left Ruby on her own and before he could get upset he saw her going back for her. She was currently dragging the rose petite away from whatever changed her mind. Barry gave a chuckle seeing that she saw Jaune pined to a tree by Phyyra's weapon looks like she chose to be Ruby's partner than the blond teen's. Eventually the red head gladiator saw him and it was official they will be partners. The speedster kept smiling seeing that there already students with partners, though they weren't considered the best remembering Weiss.

"This is going to be quite the initiation."

(Scene change)

The Arrow was doing the same thing as the Flash, watching over the students using his scroll. He was now looking at Ren the teen he met at the auditorium just by a simple glance he was able to tell he was skilled. The teen in green managed to land safely using his weapon which were two green pistols with bladed edges they looked very handy, but nothing compared to Blake's weapon Gambol Shroud. The archer vigilante was very impressed with her weapon. He continued watching Ren engaging a snake Grimm which he knew from Port as the King Taijitu, he was able to see how good he was in combat beating the large snake. Ren was almost caught off guard as another King Taijitu appeared like it was stick to the other.

What impressed the archer was Ren channeling some of his aura in his hand to create a powerful attack that blew off the head of the second Taijitu. He was no amateur and he was in the right place to become a great huntsman. And just when he was about to check another group of students Nora Valkyrie appeared from a tree hanging upside down officially becoming the teen's partner. Then an Ursai arrived and the orange haired girl beat the crap out of it with her weapon a long hammer. And if that wasn't enough the girl has gotten behind the creature and she was now riding on it like it was a horse. He didn't know what to think of the scene and Ren was now following the crazy girl through the forest.

"I still think she's mentally ill."

The hooded archer touched a monitor on another group that has recently partnered up. To his surprise Blake and Yang were partners now he didn't knew how good was the blond but he had feeling if she was as good as Ruby then she was worth been in Beacon. It will be good to see how fare they can go as a team maybe even better than he thought. Looking at the cat faunus reminded him of her suspicious regarding him, he could feel it that she was close to figure out his secret. Then he remembered what Barry told him to trust her and she will keep his secret, after helping her with the White Fang. He removed the thought and focus in doing his job watching over the progress of the students, making sure nothing goes out of hand that will endanger their lives.

(Time skip)

Just after they partnered up Blake and Yang has encountered another group of Ursai and just like that they managed to beat them all. It was impressive that they were able to show some teamwork watching each other's backs. It felt like they were destined to be partners and even if they were skilled enough to handle the Grimm in the forest, something was a miss. Once the fighting was over a small silence over the two, and Yang didn't like that. The blond brawler likes having a conversation just as much as she likes fighting and it was unfortunate her partner wasn't so talkative. She couldn't stand been quiet for too long any kind topic will be enough for her, as long as it will break this annoying silence.

She took a quick glance at the raven haired girl Blake seemed like she was keeping an eye on her surroundings. And she understood that you needed to keep your guard up when you were in a forest filled with Grimm, but she can talk and keep your guard up at the same time. They were supposed to reach the temple where they have to get a relic in order to pass the test. She gritted her teeth who knows how long that will take it was starting to take a toll on the blond. She even wondered how the heck she can stay quiet and calm maybe she was used to be silent and she saw that as been boring. But deep inside she knew Blake can be a good talker if she presses the right buttons, though she was still thinking what will be those.

"So...nice weather?" she started conversation.

"..."

"I mean look at this sun and this breeze it's truly something."

"I guess..."

"This forest sure looks like the best place to have a picnic or a get-together."

"With the exception that is filled with Grimm, then I guess it will be nice to have a picnic."

"See you agreed with me. It reminds me of a time that me and Ruby went camping with our folks and I was playing with a bee hive not a good idea heh. We we're running for our lives from those bees they wouldn't stop chasing us I'm telling you why couldn't they have take a break from" bugging" us get it?"

"..."

"Great she's back to silent mode, maybe I shouldn't have said that pun I thought it was funny."

"What about you Blake? I'm sure you must had some fun times."

"..."

"Yohoo Blake!"

"Nothing like that" she replied solemnly.

"Seriously, come on you're joking right?"

"..."

"Damn this isn't working I have to bring a topic she will talk a lot, if there's even one..." her lilac eyes widened realizing there was such topic, an evil grin formed on her lips.

"If this doesn't make her talk a lot I don't know what will."

"So, you and Oliver sure are close."

The black haired girl's bow twitched at the mentioned of Oliver's name getting her complete attention on the blond brawler" what...?"

"I know you know Oliver."

"How do you know that?"

"Back at the auditorium I saw you talking to him."

"And how do you know him?" her amber eyes narrowed like she didn't like where this was going.

"Because Ruby knows his friend Barry and we already spend time with him and Oliver. They're both good friends."

"I see...Barry, yes Oliver has mentioned him. He's his roommate" Blake has calmed down.

"That's right Ruby is always with Barry I'm telling you she has it bad for him, I need to find a way for her to admit she likes him. She also has a thing for the Flash if she doesn't bring Barry its always the scarlet vigilante" Yang paused getting closer to the raven haired girl.

"But you will not tell her any of that, this will remain a secret between us."

"Sure I see no problem with it..."

"So..." Yang pressed further on the topic with a grin" you and Oliver are close right?"

Blake gave a sigh of course she will continue with the topic "well I wouldn't say we're close. I know him because he used to work at my favorite book store. But that's just it we're not close."

"Hm..okay so you and Oliver don't have a thing for each other?"

"Nothing like that" yet she didn't know why it felt wrong to say that.

"Really? That's great thanks for confirming it I was so worried. You see...might as well share a secret with you, I have this thing for Oliver I think he's cute and a complete hunk and all."

"..."

"And those muscles I'm telling you that's the kind of boy I will bow down and worship" she was hiding her grin watching her reaction.

Blake just stood there not knowing what to say. Her partner has just told her she likes Oliver and suddenly she didn't like that one bit. That was really confusing why would she feel bothered about such thing there was no reason to feel...what was it? Upset, maybe that was it. Then the thought of the teen was on her mind and suddenly he has transformed into the Arrow. If her suspicions were true then maybe she was wrong and perhaps there was some kind of bond with the teen or better yet the archer vigilante. That wasn't all she remembers what she saw last night, Oliver's scars and his tattoos all over his chest and his back. It was a real shocker it makes her wonder what kind of hell he's been through, was he tortured? That along with other questions she wanted to find answers.

"Blake...?" Yang got worried that she was silent for a while thinking she may have made a mistake.

"I'm okay..."

"You sure? Look I was just kidding I don't like Oliver I mean, he's a friend that's all."

"Really?" she didn't know why she felt relief.

"Yeah I just wanted to get some conversation out of you. Sorry but I don't like silence between two people or more."

"Even if you hardly know them?"

"Especially if I hardly know them" the blond gave a wink.

"Makes sense" the black haired girl gave a smile.

"So we're cool?"

"We're cool" she kept her smile.

"Oh yeah Yang Xiao Long one, annoying silence zero."

(Scene change)

Ruby Rose wasn't having a good day so far. Sure she was sent to Beacon two years ahead and she was able to join her sister at the academy. But things got a turn for the worst when she ended up ruining the luggage of Weiss, then sneezing the dust causing the explosion, then she got yelled at by the white haired heiress, and now she had her as her official partner. They just recently encountered a pack of beowulfs which resulted of setting part of the forest on fire. Apparently Weiss blamed her for getting in her way when she was about to attack. Sure it was so easy to put the blame her for everything that happens, so far her first day in the academy was horrible. At least Barry will be with her in Beacon, that was a positive one the thought made her smile.

But then she gazed at the white haired girl and frowned. Why couldn't she have been paired with someone else? She remembered her available options, Yang her sister of course, Jaune who just became friends with and even Blake. But no she has to get paired up with the girl who dislikes her and has made a really bad first impression. Maybe there was a higher power high in the skies watching over her and wanted nothing to do but to make her miserable, yeah that must be it. These were the times she wished Barry would be here cheering her up, making her feel better. The thought of the teen made her smiled and her cheeks reddened. If only she could get along with the Schnee heiress then maybe the initiation wouldn't be such a bad experience after all.

"I still think we could have taken them on" she mumbled.

"What was that?" Weiss turned to the petite teen with a sharp look.

"I said we could have taken all those Grimm. The two of us were enough to beat them."

"Oh yes that's true we were enough, or enough to set part of the forest on fire" the heiress gave her an icy glare.

"Th-that wasn't my fault, you were the one who fired that attack !"

"Only because you got in my way. I was about to attack that beowulf before you got in front of me!"

"There were more than one beowulf you could have taken another one" the scythe wielder gave a slight pout.

"Quit making excuses the truth is you messed up. You charged in head first and not just made me lose concentration and made me set part of the forest on fire, but I could have hurt you too!"

"I..I...I'm trying hard but you won't cut me some slack!" she pouted again.

"Not hard enough. You know I'm starting to think that maybe I would have better chances passing this initiation with that blond buffon hanging by that tree as my partner than you. Ever since I came to Beacon you've been nothing but trouble to me. If you're going to act like a burden then feel free to go the other way."

"You don't mean that?" Ruby stood shocked but the girl's glare completely said she meant it.

Weiss gave a sigh as she rubbed her forehead maybe she was been too harsh on her" look...just try to keep focus and try not to be a burden."

"I'm not a burden the Flash would never see me that way."

"The Flash?" the Schnee heiress raised an eyebrow.

"He's my hero and he would never think I'm a burden he's amazing" she smiled thinking of the speedster.

"So you have a crush on him?"

"What?! N..no that's not it!" Ruby's reddened face betrayed her claim.

The white haired heiress just shook her head" you seriously think someone like you has a chance with him? The Flash's a hero he would never bother with someone like you."

The young rose stood in her place watching Weiss leave she didn't know why she was feeling hurt. She was able to feel the ache in her heart that it was enough to cause her silver eyes to tear up and her lips formed a pout. She wasn't going to let things stay like this oh no, she has plenty of evidence that the Flash cares for her. The red and black haired petite was going to rub it in her face looking forward to see her get annoyed. Maybe it will be a bad thing to do when it comes to strengthen their partnership for the better, but at this point she didn't care.

"Take that back..."

"What?" the Schnee heiress turned to the teen.

"You heard me, take it back what you said. The Flash saved my life and I saved his life when he was all defenseless and he laughed at my joke and he even congratulated me for been accepted at Beacon. I don't think he will see me as a burden."

The white haired heiress was about to say something but she paused. She only scoffed like she didn't care if she was right or wrong.

"Whatever let's just get to that temple already."

"And which way is that princess?" Ruby rolled her eyes.

"Don't call me that" Weiss frowned before paying attention where they were going" I think it's this way..."

"No it's this way it's definitely this way."

"We're lost" the silver eyed girl gave a sigh.

(Time skip)

The Flash couldn't believe all the things that just happened in the last hour. First the good news that all the students managed to arrive at the temple. Yang and Blake were first then the crazy stuff took place. Ruby fell from the sky, then in another part Jaune fell and collided with the scythe petite reaching a branch. Apparently Ruby was riding on a Nevermore to get to the temple, then Nora arrived riding on a Ursai followed by a very exhausted Ren, then Phyrra was been chased by a Deathstalker and finally Weiss fell from the Nevermore and Jaune caught her playing hero and both fell been able to break the fall for the Schnee heiress and probably breaking his back in return.

It really surprised the speedster how many things have occurred and so little time but at least they were all together. Good news were they have picked a relic from the temple which were chess pieces, Nora picked a white rook, Jaune picked the same piece, Yang picked a white knight and Ruby did the same. The bad news that the Nevermore and the Deathstalker were hot on their trail and they weren't planning going out without a fight. The speedster started getting worried especially when Ruby charged at the scorpion Grimm head first but it got worst when the Nevermore used its feather to stabbed her red cloak on the ground preventing her from moving. The Deathstalker was about to reach her its poison stinger was about to hit her and he was going to rush in to save her. At the moment his scroll beeped receiving a call from the archer vigilante.

*Flash don't interfere this is their test.*

"But she's..." he paused as someone has come in to save the petite.

It was none other than Weiss who has used ice dust to freeze the Deathstalker in its tracks. That was something he never expected to see the girl who got off to a rough start with Ruby has actually saved her. The sight made him smile looks like deep down inside the white haired heiress really cares for the scythe wielder. He continued watching through the scroll everyone has gathered and started running off. Of course the test was to get a relic and make it back to the top of the cliff. The best thing was that they were fighting together, at least they knew how important teamwork is. He was getting tired watching and wanted to do something so he contacted his partner.

"I'm going to get a closer look."

*What? Flash don't-*

"I know I won't interfere I just want to get closer to the action."

*It's not just interfering in the initiation but getting seen by the students.*

"I won't let them see me I promise."

(Scene change)

The Arrow gave a sigh ending the call. He knew Flash is doing a mistake he wanted to get involved but Ozpin's orders were pretty clear. The hooded archer also believed that it was important to let the students do the test without any interference because it was necessary to see if they have what it takes to become huntsman and huntresses. They were to assist if things become critical like the students getting hurt by large amount of Grimm or a powerful one, but he and the speedster have already decreased their numbers before the initiation started. His scroll was showing the team of eight students splitting up to face the two giant size Grimm. Jaune, Phyrra, Nora and Ren were fighting the Seathstalker while Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang were taking on the Nevermore.

After the Nevermore destroyed a stone bridge leading to the ruins of the temple The four girls were separated from the other team as the fight continues. The archer was impressed by the display of skills they were showing. He has seen them fighting individually now they were fighting together as a team. There was no need for him and the Flash to interfere looks like they were going to pass with flying colors, just like Ozpin has predicted. Things got interesting when the team of Jaune has managed to defeat the Deathstalker, though the archer knew something was wrong about the blond. He had no training and no experience making him question how he was accepted at Beacon, another thing he needed to discuss with the headmaster.

His scroll beeped and got surprised the speedster was calling him" what is it?"

*Um...I have a big problem.*

"What kind of problem?"

*There's a Boarbatusk going in a rampage but it's really big, I think it's a Major. It's heading straight towards the ruins.*

"Don't let it get to the students. That Grimm is too strong for first year's..." the hooded archer paused as his eyes were gazing at something in the distance.

He really hope he was seeing wrong at the thing flying in the skies. It was a large bird type Grimm like a Nevermore but it was bigger than the average one. Thanks to Professor Port's class he has got to know all kinds of species for the Grimm and he didn't like what he was seeing. Unlike the regular Nevermore this bird creature had white armor all over it's body except for the wings. It's behavior and the way it was flying, clearly say it was angry. It wasn't good because the creature was heading towards the ruins where the first year's students were still fighting the other Grimm. The archer vigilante has forgotten he still had the scarlet speedster on the line.

*Arrow can you hear me?*

"I got a big problem too..."

*You got to be kidding me.*

"I wish I was, there's a Nevermore Alpha heading in the same direction as the Boarbatusk Major."

*The Deathstalker was beaten and the Nevermore fighting Ruby's group is in trouble.*

"Neither group with have the strength to take on those two. We're stopping them right now."

*I was hoping to get involved in the test.*

"Flash don't be happy these Grimm are serious."

*I know I won't let the Boarbatusk get close to the ruins.*

(Scene change)

Ruby was on a roll and why she shouldn't be? She just come up with an awesome plan to defeat the Nevermore. They managed to make the large bird to land on the ground while Weiss used ice dust to freeze its tail making it impossible from flying away. Blake and Yang has done the other part of the plan using the ribbon of Gambol Shroud tied it around some pillars. The scythe wielder will launch herself like a slingshot with assistance of Weiss and her semblance and grabbed the Nevermore's neck with her weapon. The white haired heiress will make her run on the cliff side with her semblance allowing her to increase the force of her scythe and finally decapitating the bird Grimm. It was their turn to defeat the creature since Jaune and the others managed to defeat the Deathstalker.

"Of course you have to be the one to come up with this plan" Weiss complained ready to fire the young rose from the makeshift slingshot using one of her glyphs.

"Think you came make the shot?"

"Hm...can I?"

"Can you?"

"Of course I can!" she retorted how dare she doubt her abilities.

The Schnee heiress aimed straight at the Nevermore remembering the projectile was a girl two years younger than her. She released her semblance launching the rose petite as she readied Crescent Rose pining the bird's neck. The Nevermore gave a shriek of pain and that was her cue to continue using her semblance. She formed a straight line of her glyphs on the cliff side allowing Ruby to walk on the wall-like surface. The young Rose used her semblance to boost herself and dragged the helpless Nevermore all the way to the top of the cliff. The force of her scythe on its neck was strong enough to be able to decapitate the flying Grimm. The battle was finally over as the petite gazed at the bottom of the cliff gazing at the three girls, she could tell Yang was smiling at her with a lot of pride.

Her silver eyes caught a glimpse of something she didn't like one bit. There was another Nevermore in the distance but it looked different from the one she has killed. There was no way she and her group will be able to beat that one since it looked bigger and meaner, but then she saw that the large flying Grimm was in combat. It was fighting someone and however that person was she couldn't let this go, she will help that person. The scythe wielder climbed down the cliff using her semblance meeting with the others. The three girls looked calmed and relief that it was finally over. She got to them panting slightly realizing she has used a lot of her aura when she lift the Nevermore at the top of the cliff, which it wasn't a good sign. She won't be a hundred percent to fight and her sister and friends were probably in the same condition.

"High five sis for a job well done" Yang smiled raising her hand.

"I think it was a reckless plan" Weiss complained but the blond brawler ignored her.

"It may have been reckless but it was effective" Blake added her opinion.

"It was still an awesome plan" the blond patted her sister's head feeling so proud of her.

"Guys no time to celebrate! There's another Nevermore far from here and someone's fighting it."

"Another one!" Weiss gasped.

"I don't think we can take on another one" said the black haired girl.

"What's this of someone fighting it?" asked Yang.

"I saw it at the top of the cliff. Someone's fighting this bigger and meaner Nevermore and he needs our help."

"Hold it, aren't you forgetting? Our goal is to take the relics back to the cliff where the headmaster is waiting for us" said the Schnee heiress.

"You want us to abandon however's fighting that Nevermore?" Ruby frowned.

"I know how you feel sis but we all have used pretty much a lot of our aura in the last fight with our own Nevermore. I don't think we'll be that much of help."

"Still it won't hurt if we check it out" Blake added she agreed with Ruby of not abandoning the person in combat with the flying Grimm.

"I don't mind if we check it out" the blond smiled.

"All right let's take a closer look then" Ruby replied cheery.

Weiss gave a sigh" why do I even bother suggesting to return to the cliff?"

"That's right and don't you forget it" said Yang.

"So how are we going to get across?" Blake saw the other side remembering the Nevermore destroyed the bridge while it was chasing them.

"There's no way we can jump it's too far" replied the Schnee heiress.

"Oh I know of a way" the blond brawler gave a grin while Ruby gave a giggle knowing what her sister was up to.

"I have a very bad feeling" the white haired girl felt a chill running over her spine.

"You're first ice queen."

"Hey don't call me aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" she was actually thrown by the blond reaching the other side but sadly she felt on her face.

"Next!" Yang grinned.

(Scene change)

Ozpin watched with an amused expression. Just as he thought the first year's students have done a very good job reaching the temple and retrieving a relic. They have also shown great skills defeating a Deathstalker and a Nevermore he had to chuckle at Ruby's plan to take down the flying Grimm. They all have a very bright future ahead, no doubt they will become promising huntsman and huntresses. He already knew of the Boarbatusk Major and the Nevermore Alpha and he wasn't worried since the two vigilantes were currently in combat with the creatures. However Goodwitch was gazing at her scroll with a disapproving expression not liking where this was going.

"Should we call Port and Oobleck for assistance?"

"That won't be necessary Glynda Mr. Queen and Mr. Allen have everything under control."

"That's not how I see it. Jaune Arc, Phyrra Nikos, Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie are heading towards the Boarbatusk Major. Furthermore Ruby Rose, Blake Belladonna, Weissh Schnee, and Yang Xiao Long are heading to the location of the Nevermore Alpha."

"Yes I can see that."

"Ozpin I am serious" the blond woman gave a frown.

"So am I."

"Their aura levels have dropped due to their fights, they're in no condition to be fighting. Much less those types of Grimm."

"Then our vigilantes will have to hurry and finish their opponents before they get there."

Goodwitch gave a sigh in response.

"Trust in them Glynda they have earned it."

"It's not trust I'm concern for the students."

"They're facing a stronger breed of Grimm. Well Mr. Queen and Mr. Allen show me what you can do."

(Scene change)

The Flash got the necessary speed to use the super sonic mega punch on the Boarbatusk Major. The giant creature was sent flying crushing over six trees he hoped that was enough to stop the creature. The speedster was shocked seeing the Grimm on it's feet and looking madder. The Boarbatusk Major used it's signature attack rolling like a ball which it was easily dodged by the vigilante. He couldn't believe it was still standing after that strong attack, Oliver did told him the armor of a Boarbatusk Major was ten times stronger than a regular one. So it's armor was probably stronger than steel and he has his work cut out, it wasn't going to be as easy as he thought. At least the boar-like Grimm wasn't smart it was filled with rage that couldn't think straight, it was a raging mindless beast.

"This thing's tough. I gotta find a way to break through its armor."

Then it occurred to him that there was a chance after all. No matter how tough is its armor if he strikes in the same place many times he will be able to make a dent and eventually, a crack possibly shattering it. The speedster's eyes were flashing with lightning as he focused on the area where he first strike. It was right between its eyes but he didn't had time to create enough speed for the super sonic mega punch, his normal attacks will have to do. It was easy to dodge the Boarbatusk rapid rolling attack so he kept attack the same place. Cracks were forming on the massive shell armor of the Grimm and with each hit it was getting madder, if that was possible. The speedster grinned keeping up his attacks and the creature was still no match for him.

"Just a little more."

"Wee!"

Flash stood dumbfounded when he saw an orange haired girl flying in the air swinging her hammer high. The speedster recognized the girl as Nora Valkyrie who was partnered up with Lie Ren. Speaking of, Ren was present along with Phyrra and Jaune the vigilante just gave a sigh so much for not getting seen by the students. Nora's attack was able to break through it's armor leaving the Boarbatusk Major open for attacks. Phyrra has changed her weapon to a rifle firing at the Grimm, Ren was still feeling tired from the fight with the Deathstalker and Jaune stood there not doing anything because he had no idea what to do. The Boarbatusk Major did its rolling attack even if it was getting hit by Phyrra's fire.

"Phyyra look out!" Jaune got in front of the red head warrior using his shield.

Though he was successful in blocking the attack and protecting his partner the force was too strong that sent the blond knight flying to the ground.

"Jaune!" the red head rushed to him.

Before the boar-like creature was going to use its attack again it was hit by a powerful attack from a red blur. The Flash stood saw the Grimm flying and he knew this time it wasn't going to get back up since its armor was destroyed. Thanks to Jaune's stunt he was able to get away far enough to create enough speed for another super sonic mega punch. The scarlet speedster walked to the fallen teen while Phyrra, Ren and Nora have gathered around him. The red head champion was shaking him trying to wake him up she was that worried about the blond. A smile was formed on his lips clearly there was something there, Phyyra seems to care for Jaune more than it looks maybe there was more than just friendship.

"Jaune, Jaune wake up please!"

"Ow...oh what truck hit me?" the blond replied groggily.

"Yay you're all right!" said Nora.

"He looks fine" Flash said with a smile.

"Thank goodness" Phyyra gave a sigh of relief.

"What about you? You all right?" asked Ren at the speedster.

"I'm all better now, but you guys shouldn't be here. The initiation isn't over until you bring back the relics to the cliff."

"That's right we have to get going!" Jaune got back up still feeling the pain in his head.

"There's no time limit so take it easy" the speedster turned to the dead Boarbatusk Major.

"Well that's one down hope Oliver has taken down that Nevermore."

(Scene change)

The Arrow wasn't having a good time the moment he caught the attention of the Nevermore Alpha. For starters the giant bird was a whole lot smarter than the other Nevermore he killed, and probably smarter than the one Ruby's group took down. This one was flying in high altitudes not looking like it was going to descend having the advantage over the hooded archer. Not to mention the arrows he was throwing weren't doing a thing to the flying Grimm. He needed to saved the explosive ones when he gets an opportunity that it lowers its guard, and that was very hard. There was also one detail to keep in mind when fighting a Nevermore Alpha their wings are so strong that when it flaps them they can create a strong gust attack.

The Nevermore Alpha gave a shriek flapping its wings the archer knew what was coming. He jumped from a branch and ran for cover as the gust blew a couple of trees away like they were made of paper. There was no doubt this type of Grimm was strong and dangerous, only a group of expert huntsman have a chance of defeating it. If he gets caught by the gust it will be strong enough to rip him apart and that will be unpleasant. Once the gust was gone the archer has come up with a plan knowing it wasn't going lowering its altitude he was going to make the creature lower it. Arming the grappling hook he needed to make this shot count. Jumping on the tallest branch he could see he took the shot but the Nevermore saw it coming.

Instead of hitting its middle portion it hit its right leg lifting the vigilante in the air. Now things have gotten complicated for the Arrow this wasn't what he was planning at all, but at least he has a chance to injure it. He tried reaching for his quiver and grabbed one of his dust infused explosive arrows. That was hard to do when you were trying to hold for your dear life because he was very high. Things weren't on favor for the hooded archer as his bow fell into the forest making him cursed mentally, now he was pretty much in trouble. The Nevermore Alpha was not happy and used its gust attack to get the vigilante off it's leg. Another thing that it wasn't on his favor that he was starting to lose his grip and he wasn't looking forward to die again.

For a moment the archer thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, that he was seeing things that didn't made sense. For instance he saw Ruby and Blake jumping towards him looking down he saw a trail of glyphs and bellow stood Weiss and Yang. The young Rose has changed her scythe to rifle mode and fire a couple of rounds at the Nevermore making a direct hit. More glyphs were created as Blake stood next to the archer and handed him his bow which he gladly accept. He fired an explosive arrow making contact with the fierce bird-like Grimm. Yet the Nevermore Alpha was still standing while one of its wings was on fire. Yang finally jumped on the trail of glyphs and launched a fire dust infused fist making contact with the creature.

"Knock it to the ground, don't let it get to the air!" shouted the Arrow to the group of students.

Ruby kept firing her rifle followed by a couple of attacks from Blake using Gambol Shroud as a sword and its sheath. The Nevermore Alpha was been bombarded by the many attacks it was actually defenseless. It was a success that the giant bird was now falling from all of the attacks. The Arrow aimed for the creature's wings in order to bring it down so he went with the strategy he used to bring down the last Nevermore by releasing two ice dust arrows. The wings of the Alpha got frozen as it experience a nasty fall. While back on the ground Weiss was panting because she was almost out of her aura for using her semblance for too long.

"Hurry up! I can't keep my glyphs any longer!"

The hooded archer jumped down the glyphs with the three girls. The Nevermore Alpha may be down but it wasn't out it gave a shriek with its wings frozen it won't be able to use its gust attack. The only thing protecting the flying Grimm was its armor and with five against one it wasn't going to last. The combination of their attacks have eventually killed the giant bird and the archer couldn't be any more relief. He took a glance at the four girls and didn't let his pride get the best of him because he knew he couldn't been able to defeat the Alpha on his own. It didn't matter if he was seen or aided he was glad the girls got just in time to help him. He saw Blake who gave him a nod in acknowledgment she was happy to repay him for helping her that time with the White Fang.

"Thanks for the assistance, much oblige."

"No problem Arrow you're my hero too" replied Ruby.

"But you will choose Flash in a heartbeat" he gave a smile.

"Um...yeah heh" she slightly blushed.

"That was one tough Nevermore, it looked different too" said Yang.

"It was a Nevermore Alpha stronger than the regular one" said the hooded archer.

"That explains why it was so strong" followed Blake.

"You okay Weiss" the young Rose saw her partner panting.

"I used a lot of my aura that's all. Now if we're done here can we finally get to the cliff and finish this?" said the cranky Schnee heiress.

"She's right the test isn't over until you return to the cliff with the relics" explained the archer vigilante.

"Right we got the relics time to head back!" Ruby cheered.

"Come on Weiss admit it you're glad we came to help the Arrow" Yang elbowed the white haired girl.

"I suppose so I do owe you after all" she turned to the green hooded archer.

"Owe him?" Blake looked suspicious.

"She helped me in a mission saving the workers from the Schnee mines" replied the Arrow.

The raven haired girl was shocked she gazed at Weiss. She knew the miners from the Schnee Corporation were all faunus so why would she bother aid the vigilante saving them. She did saw the news report regarding the incident that the miners were been kept hostage by the anti-faunus group Black Fist, so why the Schnee heiress bothered to help them. She believed the girl was just like her father who didn't care about the well being of the faunus employees. Hearing this revelation maybe there was a slight chance Weiss wasn't like everyone who hates the faunus.

"You better get going. The initiation may not have a time limit but the headmaster's patience does" said the archer.

"Wait!" Ruby stopped the vigilante from leaving" if you're here so is Flash, then why are you guys in the Emerald Forest?"

"We're always glad to help the next generation of huntsman and huntresses" the archer gave a smile.

His response caused the rosette and the rest to smile.

(Location: auditorium Beacon Academy)

"Russel Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dave Bronzewing, Sky Lark. The four of you have recovered the black bishop pieces, from this day on you will work as team CRDL. Lead by Cardin Winchester."

The crowd applauded as the four teens have been officially made a team, though some weren't very pleased with the results namely a certain hooded archer. Oliver wasn't happy one bit with the newly formed team he has watched their progress during the initiation before watching the others. He didn't like it they all acted like cowards running away from the Grimm, not to mention Cardin almost got his partner Russel kill and he didn't regret such action he was no leader. The bottom line they weren't worthy been a team of huntsman it made him wonder what Ozpin is thinking making them a team.

After the newly formed team CRDL left the second group that have proven they have what it takes to be a true huntsman step forward.

"Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Phyyra Nikos, Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day on you will have work as team JNPR. Lead by Jaune Arc."

Oliver was puzzled by this while Barry next to him was cheering for the blond. This was a twist for the archer why Jaune? He already knew the blond had no training or experience as a huntsman so why would Ozpin make him a team leader? This was another thing he wanted to talk with the headmaster, along with the making of team CRDL. But first there were the priority of finding out about the third party involve with Torchwick and the White Fang and he was planning asking him after the ceremony. He saw Barry happily applauding when Ruby and the other girls stepped forward and Ozpin has smiled at the coming girls.

"Ruby Rose, Blake Belladonna, Weiss Schnee, Yang Xiao Long. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day on you will work as team RWBY. Lead by...Ruby Rose."

"Yeah way to go Ruby!" Barry shouted.

"Like I didn't see that coming."

"What? I'm happy for her. Aren't you happy Blake's on a team?"

"Other than she has chosen a better life than been with the White Fang, yeah I'm happy for her."

"I think it's more than that" the speedster grinned.

"What?"

"Nah it's nothing..."

"Let's get to Ozpin's office. It's time he tells us everything he knows."

"Torchwick and the White Fang?" Barry gave a nod.

(Scene change)

(Location: abandoned warehouse unknown region)

Members of the White Fang were working moving many crates filled with dust towards many bull head ships. The area was wide and it looked like it hasn't been used in a long time so it was a perfect place for the faunus group to work their operations. The warehouse was dark and with the night it was even darker not that they had any trouble seeing. A lone figure was watching the entire progress wearing a long black trench coat with fiery red hair. His faunus ears were on high alert knowing that there visitors in the area, he already knew who they were. Hearing the footsteps getting closer the person the group was working for as" business partners" as she simply put it. He didn't even turned away the only thing that matters to him is obeying his leader's orders and for the job to be done.

"Busy as always I see" said a female voice which sounded seductive.

The woman seems to be in her late twenties with black hair, amber eyes wearing a dark red dress with yellow designs on the sleeves and on the back. Behind her were two people one was a teen with silvery-gray hair and gray eyes wearing a black two-tone partial-zip jacket, that covers his upper body. The second person was girl looking in the same age as the boy with shoulder length mint green hair, red eyes, medium brown skin wearing an exotic white top with an olive undershirt with white shorts and white shoes.

"Well the White Fang is unaffected with what happened to Torchwick" said the male teen.

"Same with us" replied the female teen with a grin and the boy did the same.

"Its such a shame with what happened to Roman. Oh well it is nothing but a minor set back nothing has change, the schedule remains the same" said the female adult.

"We will resume with the dust operations. Those are the orders from my superior" said the man in the long black trench coat.

"Indeed there's still plenty of dust to collect, I'm never disappointed when you take matters into your own hands Adam."

"We will await for your next order" said Adam.

"So what are we going to do with those vigilantes? The plan didn't work with them still been alive" asked the male.

"Mercury I don't like repeating myself all in due time. The Arrow and the Flash are not to be taken lightly."

"I don't like agreeing with Mercury, but he's right. They are dangerous and they will get in the way of our plans. They managed to put Torchwick behind bars it could be any of us next."

"Emerald are you doubting in my abilities?"

"N...no, of course not Cinder all I'm saying that we should be careful."

"The operation is all that matters. For the time being Roman will have to get comfortable in his new home" Cinder gave a grin.

"As long as he doesn't drop the soap" Mercury chuckled and Emerald followed.

"But are you really planning in busting him out?" said the dark skin girl.

"Why can't he stay there? Let him rot in a cell" said Mercury.

"I won't, I need Roman he's still important for the plan. I want the two of you to lay low and obey when I say don't go looking for trouble. If any of you gets capture by the vigilantes I won't be planning any rescuing."

"Yes Cinder" Emerald gave a nod.

"..." Adam gave a glance but chose to remain quiet.

(Scene change)

(Location: headmaster's office Beacon Academy)

Oliver and Barry have entered the office changing from their regular clothes to their official academy clothes. It was similar to the male's school uniform but instead it was colored gray. Ozpin was seated in his desk with his usual mug filled with coffee while Goodwitch was in the corner checking her scroll probably doing a quick check up on the students that have officially formed teams.

The headmaster gave them a cordial smile" congratulations you two on a job well done."

"We would like to apologize" Oliver said.

"Apologize you say?" the headmaster knew what he was talking about but stood in thought.

"You clearly told us that we couldn't be seen by the students. We both failed to accomplish that."

"It matters not Mr. Queen."

"What?"

"True you were seen you were aided by them and I see nothing wrong with it. On the contrary I was expecting them to come to your aid. It only strengthens their resolve to become protectors of this world. All I have to say is that we have quite the exceptional students this semester."

"They are promising and skilled, but great students? That is yet remain to be seem" Goodwitch said.

"Also I wasn't expecting both of you to defeat such strong types of Grimm on your own no matter how skilled how good you are. Only a team of skill huntsman have a chance against such beasts."

"So you're not angry at us?" asked Barry.

"Not in the slightest Mr. Allen" the headmaster smiled taking a sip from his mug.

"Oh wow that's a relief. I thought we we're in so much trouble" the speedster gave a goofy smile.

"How about we get to the reason why we came here Professor Ozpin?" said the archer.

"Of course. I will get straight to the point. You are right Mr. Queen, the criminal Roman Torchwick and the White Fang are taking orders from someone."

"Who is this person?" asked the archer.

"I'm afraid that's all I know, only that she's known as "The Queen".

"The Queen? Isn't she on the VPD's most wanted list?" said Barry.

"Correction Mr. Allen she's the most wanted criminal in the four kingdoms. Her real name? We don't know all of my resources have return empty handed when it comes to her."

"What about Qrow? I'm sure he must have kept you updated" said Oliver.

Goodwitch was surprised while Ozpin gave a smile at the teen.

"You knew he was my main informant? Well done Mr. Queen, you're truly clever."

"I had my suspicions at first, then I did some research on Qrow and it says he used to be a student at Beacon having his own team. You were one of his friends."

"We are friends Mr. Queen but I was on a different team. It's true though Qrow is a very exceptional huntsman, his specialty lies in gathering information. He has intel on all the kingdoms he knows that much, except for the identity of the Queen."

"She must be something if she can kept her identity a secret" followed Barry.

"Unfortunately she is, every information Qrow has gathered on her is too small not enough to give us any leads on her whereabouts. There are no personal records, we can assume she has erase all data about herself. It is like the person behind the Queen is deceased."

"And Torchwick? He might know something" said Oliver.

"Qrow already thought about that however, Roman Torchwick is nothing but a pawn for the Queen she will never reveal any vital information to him. Not whatever plan she has in store and definitely not her true name. Which leads us back to square one."

"Maybe I can do something."

"Oliver you're not planning in questioning him?" Barry got worried knowing where this was going.

"Maybe I will I'm sure the Arrow can get something if I ask" nicely". That is if the headmaster will allow it."

"Be my guest Mr. Queen just make sure you don't hurt him too much. He's more useful to us conscious than unconscious."

"I'll try my best" the archer gave a smile while the speedster shook his head.

(Scene change)

The newly formed team RWBY arrived at the place that will be their dorm for the next four years. They have placed their bags admiring the room which it was acceptable with four beds and a bathroom, it was enough for the four teens. Ruby was the first standing on a bed and started jumping up and down the sight was quite adorable. Yang was smiling sweetly her little sister will never change, even Blake got a smile at the petite jumping so happily. But Weiss shook her head not approving of such childish act, and to think this girl is their leader.

"Ruby stop doing that!"

"Can it Weiss, let her enjoy herself. Not everyone is a party bopper like you" said Yang.

"I am not a party bopper!"

"You are kinda acting like one" Blake said getting on one bed and deciding to start reading one of her books.

"Hmph..."

"Come on Weiss live a little. I think after everything we've been through in the initiation and passing it, we deserve to have some fun" said Ruby.

"After everything we've been through...? You mean after I almost set you on fire, then using the Nevermore for transportation, then falling from it almost getting killed."

"But Jaune saved you" Ruby pointed out.

"Whatever, then fighting the Nevermore and finally fighting the other Nevermore. Honestly I don't want to know you're idea of having fun."

"This! Jump on your bed, trust me it's a lot fun than it looks."

"That is so childish."

"Like I said party bopper count me in sis" the blond brawler was now jumping on her bed.

"Somebody tell me I'm having a bad dream" Weiss gave a sigh still not believing the rosette got to be leader.

Blake kept on reading but gave a smile at the girls jumping on the beds.

"I bet you can reach the ceiling if we jump a little higher!"

"You're on sis!"

"That is enough you should stop doing that. Don't you see you're damaging the beds" the Schnee heiress scolded.

"Party bopper" Yang grinned while Ruby giggled.

"She's right. If you guys damage the beds I don't think the headmaster will sent for another, he doesn't want to increase the academy's budget."

Everyone turned to Barry standing at the entrance.

"Barry!" the scythe wielder got off from the bed happy.

"Congrats to everyone you guys were awesome. I saw how you guys fought that Nevermore, both of them it was so cool."

"It wasn't" cool" from my perspective" Weiss put her hands on her hip.

"Ignore her Barry she's a party bopper" Yang said.

"Hey!"

"So how does it feel to be officially a team?"

"It's great we're all getting along just fine" Ruby smiled widely while glancing at Weiss and she was frowning at her" well some of us are!"

"It's okay you guys have only been a team for like thirty minutes, it's to be expected some of you won't get along with each other."

"I don't think I will ever will" the Schnee heiress pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Weiss will you knock it off already, we get it you don't like been part of this team" the blond brawler had enough of her attitude.

"Hmph..."

"I kind of understand how you feel Weiss, I guess you still see them as strangers. Or maybe you can't get along with them because of bad first impressions" the speedster gave a quick glance at Ruby who gave an innocent look.

"But let me tell you something, I know Ruby and Yang long enough and they're pretty cool people and...I guess I don't know much about Blake but my friend Oliver knows her enough so it's okay" he noticed the raven haired girl turned down her book giving a nod.

"And I don't know much about you either. But trust me when I say with time you'll grow fond of them and maybe you will see them more than just your teammates like best friends or maybe...like sisters."

"Sisters?" the white haired girl was taken back along with the rest of the team.

"Yeah you knew know unless you give it a shot."

"..."

Yang noticed the expression her sister was giving to the male teen and gave a grin she knew exactly what to do" well I'm hungry come on guys I want to check the cafeteria."

"At this hour? I don't think the cafeteria will be open" said Weiss.

"We also have to ask about our uniforms" Blake put down her book she has gotten the hint from the blond.

"But I still haven't check the bathroom-"

"Let's go princess" the blond brawler was now dragging the Schnee heiress out of the dorm followed by a calm Blake.

"Wonder what was that all about?" Barry turned to the rosette who only looked confuse like him.

"What's wrong?" he noticed she wasn't acting like her usual self.

"I don't know I guess I'm..." Ruby gave a pout.

"What is it? Aren't you happy?"

"I don't know I should be happy...but I'm not."

"Why would you say that? You made it to Beacon, moved in two years ahead and you're a team leader what else could you ask for?"

"That's just it" she got up from the bed.

"Ruby? Tell me what's wrong, I can't help you if you don't tell me."

The young Rose gave a sigh" you see before arriving at Beacon Yang kept telling me I'm special and how I'm going to be the bee's knees..."

"The bee's knees, what does that mean?" the speedster gave a chuckle.

"I don't know that's Yang talking. Point is I don't want to be special because I don't want everyone else to see me different or treat me different. I just want them to see me for been...me."

"Okay I understand what you're saying but the truth is Ruby, you are special."

The scythe wielder gave a sigh getting seated on the bed again" I guess there's no stopping it now moved in two years ahead and now a leader I don't know if I have what it takes to handle the responsibility."

"I think you have what it takes."

"Really? Where's the proof?" she pouted again.

The teen opened his scroll and showed the video footage when she was leading everyone after getting the relics from the temple. The next image was of her decapitating the Nevermore which made her blushed from the embarrassment.

"I think this is the fourth time I've seen it. You were wicked."

"So you think I can be a good leader?"

"I'm positive and also I think everyone will look at you and treat you like a normal girl. At least team JNPR and your team, especially Yang. Even if you're all bad ass with a scythe I think she still sees you as her little sister who is loveable and blows bubbles in her milkshake."

"Hey I don't blow bubbles on my milkshake" she pouted.

"Yes you do" Barry smiled.

"No I don't!"

"Let's not start that because we know I'm going to win the argument, okay?"

"Yeah yeah" Ruby smiled feeling better and not realizing her cheeks were red.

"Barry...?"

"Yeah..."

"I'm glad you're here, I mean really glad you're here."

"I'm really glad you're here too."

(Time skip)

Oliver has gotten up and decided to have one of his evenings training before heading back to bed. He has changed his sleeping clothes to a green muscle shirt with black sweat pants. Ever since he found out his younger body had limits and that he wasn't as strong as he was when he was an adult he knew he needed to train. Since that day he was beaten by Miltia and Melanie he has been training hard and the results were obvious been able to take on a regular Nevermore and last against an Alpha. As he entered the training room he noticed the door was open, someone was inside. The archer kept his guard not knowing who could be inside? All students were resting and Goodwitch was probably awake doing the night patrol.

To his surprise he saw Blake who seemed like she was waiting for him. The way she was looking at him, her amber eyes were on him as soon as he stepped into the room. There was a strong feeling in him when he gazed at the young faunus like he knew what was this all about. Expecting that she might know the truth about, his secret. He closed the door while the raven haired girl stood in her place. The silence was starting to become uncomfortable yet the girl kept on staring at him. Now that he thought about it Blake has never looked at him with hostility, it was always with a calm demeanor and some doubt. But it was to be expected because of her suspicions.

"I haven't told anyone about this place and I'm sure the headmaster has kept his word in not telling."

"I need to talk to you, it's important."

"And that would be..."

"I know you're the Arrow."

Oliver gave a sigh giving a nod" yeah I kinda thought you would figure out eventually, I can't seem to hide anything from you."

"You're good at hiding things I admit."

"But not good enough to fool you."

"I have suspected you for a while, then I saw your scars and the markings in your body I became certain."

"You've been stalking me more than usual?" the archer raised an eyebrow.

"Call it what you like. Look, I won't tell anyone your secret. The reason I'm here is, I need your help."

"With the White Fang?"

"With getting ready for the White Fang."

Oliver gazed at the faunus girl and he was able to see that determination in her eyes, it was that same fire burning within her amber orbs" you want to be ready to fight them, but looking at you I think you're skilled enough to take them on."

"I'm not ready not yet. There are members within the White Fang who are really strong and I don't think I'll be able to do anything, unless I prepare myself. That's why I think you can help me."

"You want me to train you?"

"I have to get stronger and I can't do it alone. You're the Arrow and I've seen what you can do."

"You're not alone Blake, not anymore. You're in a team now I'm sure they can help you more than me."

"They're good people...not all of them" her amber eyes narrowed thinking of Weiss" but I'm not ready to trust them I...I'm not ready to tell them truth. You know who I am, you know what I am, you know who I was and right now...I trust you more than my team."

Oliver stood in deep thought but gazing at her expression his decision was clear. He already knew she won't gone astray from her duty and team RWBY, revenge won't take over her life like it once happened to Helena Bertinelli. Maybe that was his fear with Blake that she will embrace revenge and hatred and become a second Huntress. He put those thoughts asides when she told him he reason to stop the White Fang was to put closure with her past.

"All right, I will help you with the training...on one condition" he walked over to the raven haired girl pointing to her head" while you're here you will remove that bow. There's no need to hide those ears with me. Are you okay with that?"

"Yes" she has given a small smile.

"Good well it's late you should head back to your dorm."

"I'm not that tire, I don't mind if we start right now."

"You sure?"

"I'm ready."

"All right then, let's start with the basics" he smiled.
