As promised here is the new chapter!


Zach woke up from a fairly pleasant night of sleep. He showered, got dressed, brushed his teeth, ate, then made his way toward the main school building. He got to his locker and grabbed his magnum and his blade, grimm's blood, in its compressed form. He put his magnum in its holster as Glynda's voice came on the intercom.

"All first year students, please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation. I repeat, all first year students, please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation," The intercom said.

Zach made his way to Beacon Cliff and saw Ozpin and Glynda standing in front of several launchpads, looking out over the forest. Most of the other first-years were had already arrived.

"Please step onto the pads and we will begin the initiation," Glynda instructed.

"For years you have trained to become warriors and today your abilities will be tested in the emerald forest," Ozpin informed us.

"I'm sure many of you have heard about the assignment of teams. Well allow us to end your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates. Today,"

'Oh great,' Zach thought rolling his eyes.

'What are you complaining about now,' Hunter groaned.

'Nothing,'

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at beacon, so it will be best if you are paired with someone that you will perform well with. That being said, the first person you make eye contact upon landing will be your partner for the next four years. After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path, or you will die. You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find a temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one, and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are their any questions? …. Good! Now, take your position," Ozpin finished as the student's started launching towards the forest. Zach pulled out Grimm's blood as it materialized in his hand and then he was suddenly launched into the air.

The rush of being thrown into the air was amazing. Zach almost smiled. Then he realized he was falling really fast. He hit the ground and rolled until he hit something. He got up and realized that he had hit an Ursa, in fact he had hit a pack of three Ursa.

'Great' Zach thought as he readied Grimm's blood.

One of the Ursa lunged at Zach swiping it's claw at his torso. Zach sidestepped the attack and sliced the Ursa's head clean off with his volt weapon.

'Ursa are too slow' Zach thought.

'Would you prefer a fast enemy?' Hunter inquired.

'I would like more of a challenge,'

Zach readied his magnum as the next Ursa charged him. He emptied his entire magnum into the creature with little to no effect. He then leapt over the beast and managed to cut the Ursa across its back. Zack knew what he had to do. He opened all of his eight eyes and locked all eight on the Ursa. The two Ursa charged and both suddenly went limp.

"And that's all she wrote," Zach said.

As he ran north he was stopped as got to a clearing with a ruined structure in the center. Zach checked the area and walked toward the structure. Zack suddenly felt a presence and put his hand on his magnum.

"Geez handsome, I'm not a Grimm," said an all to familiar voice.

'Please Oum let that not be the voice I think it is,' Zack thought looking towards the sky.

'That's definitely Coco if that's what your praying for,' Hunter said.

"His name is Zach, Coco. You know that," said another familiar voice.

'Please don't tell me that's Velvet with her,' Zach thought.

'That's definitely Velvet with her,' Hunter said again. Zach turned around to greet the two.

"Hello Velvet how are ya doing," Zach said not paying attention to Coco.

"Wow Zach, not even paying attention to me! How rude!" Coco yelled.

"Keep your voice down woman. There are still Grimm in the forest," Zach said with a cold tone.

"I'm doing well! I was kinda afraid at first because I'm not good at combat, but Coco has been protecting me," Velvet chimmed.

"Hey Zach, where is your partner?" Coco asked.

"Your the first person I've seen," Zach told the two.

"I guess that means your stuck with me then," Coco said with a smirk.

"Don't push your luck human," Zach said.

"Well then let's go," Velvet said grabbing a relic.

"Yeah," Coco said.

Beacon cliff

"That's the last of the teams professor Ozpin," Glynda informed her superior.

"So it seems," Ozpin said taking a sip of his coffee.

"Why did you let Mr. Acarin into beacon. With his reco-,"

"A character of a man cannot be determined by the character of his youth Glynda,"

"Nevertheless he has two partners," Glynda told the man.

"This will definitely be interesting," Ozpin sighed.

Ruins at bottom of beacon cliff(where teams RWBY and JNPR fought the nevermore and the deathstalker

The trip back to beacon cliff was rather boring to say the least. Not a single Grimm in sight. They were about to reach the cliff but Velvet had stopped in her tracks.

"Guys," She said clearly alarmed.

"What is it Velv?" Coco asked.

"Something big is coming this way from the forest." Zach said turning around.

"-un!" A voice said from the forest. Coco readied her Chaingun, Zach materialized Grimm's blood, and Velvet got in her fighting stance. As two figures emerged from the forest followed by large Deathstalker.

"RUN!" Zach was able to recognize the one yelling. He was the boy that he saw on the ride to beacon. The other one was a tall boy with tanned skin.

"We're going to charge it, okay," Zach said taking off his shirt.

"Not that I'm complaining, but what are you doing?" Coco said slightly drooling at Zach's toned body.

"Velvet remember when I told you I was a Spider Faunus? Well I also have these," Zach said stretching this limbs on his back.

"Okay now I feel better about our chances," Coco said.

"I'm going to stop that thing and you two counter attack. Maybe get those two to join you," Zach said before he started to sprint towards the deathstalker. When Zach got to full speed he had his limbs form a shield in front of him. Zach and the deathstalker met with a crash as Zach was pushed back as he slowed the deathstalker bit by bit.

"Now!" Zach yelled calling the counter attack. When Coco and Velvet got the Grimm distracted, Zach was able to cut off its tail. Seeing the opening Zach and the girls created, the other two huntsman in training joined in the fight and were able to cut off the deathstalker's two claws. Now that it was essentially harmless, Zach used his semblance to finish the Grimm off.

Beacon Auditorium

Zach had zoned out for the majority of the Ceremony. Then Coco snapped him out of his stupor.

"Come on Zach, It's time," Coco said.

"And lastly we have Yatsuhashi Daichi, Coco Adel, Fox Alistair, Velvet Scarlatina, and Zach Acarin. You will hence be known as Team CVFY(I couldn't find a word with all of the letters) led by Zach Acarin," Ozpin said as applause.

"Me?!" Zach shouted in surprise.

"Congrats Zach," Coco said hugging Zach.


Due to circumstances that are out of my control, I should have lots of free time in the mornings now. I will be spending most of that time writing The Spider and other fanfics in the future if I choose to write more!

PS. I'm planning to have this story go over through all of the RWBY seasons and I am in a delema. Should I have A seperate story for each part in the series like pre-canon(this story), canon at beacon(seasons 1-3), and canon after the fall of beacon(4-ongoing) or should I just have one story for all of them? DM me for your decision!

-Gators out!
