Ok rise of hands who got some of the Easter eggs so far. If you haven't that's fine, there's more coming. This chapter again does not have a beta, in fact after Volume 1 I will be looking for a Beta. And so without further ado here is the next chapter.
I do not own RWBY.

Grimm Boss Monster
Shura
"So, Nico where do you think the ruins are?"
"Well Shura, judging by it being around 10, and the shadow of the tree is that way." said Nico before pausing and looking around before pointing in another direction, "I will say north is that way."
"Ok. Do you have any idea how far we have to go?"
A thoughtful expression overcame Nico's face before he relaxed and said, "I have no clue."
'Ok, now I know I'm in a forest, I need to get a relic from some ruins, and my partner is a survivalist. What else is new?'
SNAP
"Nico. Be on guard." He said as he grabbed Wukong from under his duster before activating its battle mode.
The only response he had was Nico drawing his wakizashi from their sheath, and getting in a stance that reminded him of a fighting style his uncle learned when he was younger.
He turned his head back to the forest as the first Grimm came from the trees.
"Shit, Cerberus pack." He said as he gripped Wukong tighter.
"What's so bad about a Cerberus pack?" Nico asked in confusion his voice mostly void of emotion, as if a switch had been flipped.
"Well a Cerberus is a Grimm hound with 3 heads and 3 tails. They always travel in packs like beowolves, however even a lone Cerberus is more than a match for average hunter students, aAn Alpha Cerberus will be a challenge even for the most powerful hunters, and an elder Cerberus is easily able to destroy anyone that challenges them. Because of this only one elder has ever been killed, and even then it took an army of over two thousand soldiers."
"That's bad." Nico dead planted, before tightening his grip on his wakizashi.
'Gotta remember to ask him what they're called latter.'
"Yes, it is. And to make it worse they have spikes down their back and all around their tails. They can also breathe fire from all 3 heads."
Nico gulped.
"Run?"
"Run."
They started running in the opposite direction, but the Grimm ran after them.
15 minutes later
"NAZE KAMIYO, NAZE ANATA WA WATASHI O URAHITTA NODESU KA!?"
"WHAT THE HELL YOU JUST SAY? WE ARE GONNA HAVE TO FIGHT THEM?"
"BAKA!"
"OK, LET'S DO THIS!"
Shura turned around only to face plant.
"THERE ARE ONLY 2 OF THEM!"
"NANI?"
Shura threw Wukong and it sliced through the skin before recalling back to his hands. Shura then turned around just in time to see the other Cerberus's heads go flying courtesy to Nico's blade.
"Well that was easy, why did we run in the first place?"
"Those were just newborns."
"But they were 8 foot tall!"
"And normal pack members are 12 feet tall, alpha's 14 feet tall, and elders 16 feet tall."
"KUSO!"
1 hour
It was an hour into initiation and they heard gunfire from the north that ended a few minutes ago and Nico was still complaining.
"What is it with people and they're damn firearms!?"
"Nico, I know you're not a fan of guns, but more than likely one of our team members will have a gun. So please cut down on the gun hate."
"No, and if you don't like it I'll shove a fucking tree up your ass."
"Ok. Ok. just calm down."
"I am calm, I just really hate guns."
"Do you wanna talk about it?"
"No. Fakkuofu."
"No need to be an ass." Shura mumbled under his breath as Nico stated his….. Extreme dislike of guns.
"Hey Nico."
"WHAT?!"
"Um there is a Cerberus alpha in front of us"
"Kuso."
That's when not only did the Grimm notice them, but also a giant, black blear came flying out of the forest into the Cerberus, sending it flying into the treeline.
In sinke as one they both let out a single thought. 'WHAT THE FUCK?'
Evan
10 minutes after landing
After Evan's little episode, and killing of all Grimm in the area, they hiked what they hoped to be south in order to find the ruins.
"Are we there yet?" asked Kevin.
"For the one thousandth time, NO!" roared Evan, who was about ready to punch Kevin.
"Are we there…."
That was as far as he got before Evan stopped and held up his hand.
"Hush! Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"Nothing. Just hearing noises"
"Oh… ok?" Said Kevin as he wondered if Evan was hearing voices in his head.
Evan then continued heading north he heard the sound again and reacted.
"Are we there ye…" was all Kevin got out before Evan turned around with his arm reared back about to punch him. Reacting he ducked just in time, only to hear Evan's fist hit something else and for a giant Grimm lizard appear out of nowhere as it went through the trees, leaving a path of destruction in its flight.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" Kevin yelled, jumping about three feet into the air.
"That was a Lacerta. A type of Grimm that takes on the form of a lizard, can climb up surfaces, and sacrifices defense for the ability to camouflage itself."
"Well that's just peachy."
"I note the sarcasm in that sentence." SIGH "Oh well, might as well finish it off." Evan said with a sigh.
"Can we talk about this?" Said Kevin not liking that that grimm could get so close and him not sense it.
All Evan did was start walking in the direction of the crash site, only giving a strong, "No." before disappearing into the forest.
"HEY, WAIT FOR ME ASSHOLE!" screamed Kevin as he ran toward Evan, "I DON'T WANT TO DINNER FOR A LACERTA!"
A few seconds later
As they got to the scene of the crash all Evan could say was, "Did I just hit a motherfucker with another motherfucker?"
After he said that the other 3 just stared at him before they heard voices.
"Damn, that's one big puppy."
"THAT'S NOT A PUPPY YOU CRAZY SHIT!"
"DID YOU JUST CALL ME CRAZY?"
"Sounds like those 2 are getting along."
"SHUT IT BLONDIE!" came the 2 voices at once.
"Um, guys I found the temple."
As they all turned around they saw a brown headed male sanding about 6"2' with brown eyes. He was wearing a brown cowboy hat with a brown leather strap, a brown flannel with the top 2 buttons undone, blue jeans, brown cowboy boots, a pendant made of leather with a metal twister charm on it, and he was holding a 4' long, 1" wide walking stick. Beside him stood a male with white, spiky hair pulled back into a short ponytail, and icy-blue eyes. He also wears a black vest, over a white, tucked-in button-up dress shirt, black dress pants, black dress shoes, and a quiver of arrows on his back with a red arrow head design on the back and a bow in his hand.
Even was the first to react, "Who are y'all?"
The archer spoke first, "I am Yeller, the shy boy beside me is Dustin, the short tempered one is Taupe, and the crazy one is Yale."
"I'M NOT FUCKING CRAZY!"
Shura then spoke up, "Well I'm Shura, the samurai is Nico, the ginger is Kevin, and the muscle is Evan."
After he said this 2 people came out of the woodworks the first one was a black-haired male with angry light-green eyes and wearing; a black trench coat over a pairing of a black chest plate and muscle shirt, black combat boots, and a black belt with a sliver crossed revolvers design for the buckle.
The second person to come out was yet another male, but this one had green hair and yellow eyes. "Question, does he dye his hair and wear contacts? Or is it natural?" asked Kevin, no one answered. His clothing consist of a green jacket over a white tank-top tucked into a green pair of cargo pants, and he finished his look with green, steel toed boots with the steel toe on the outside. Over his shoulder was a handle
"So…yeah, the temple is that way." Said Dustin as he pointed to the right, "Also I saw two teams leave a few minutes ago being chased by a Deathstalker and a Nevermore."
"The fucks a Deathstalker?"
Everyone stared at Kevin before saying, "Really dumbass?"
His response was, "YALE THEY THINK YOU'RE CRAZY!"
"WHERE THEY AT? I'LL KILL EM'!"
15 MINUTES LATER
As Yale finally calmed down, they made their way to the temple. Which included jumping over trees, navigating an almost forest of nevermore feathers, and going around or over a broken ice shield.
"Finally some peace." Said Taupe after he and Yale got the white pawn as well as Dustin and yeller, while Evan and Kevin got the white queen, and Shura and Nico got the white king.
"You do remember the 2 motherfuckers I messed up back when we first met, right?"
"THE CUTE PUPPY AND THE GIANT LIZARD?" Yelled Yale before anyone could cover his mouth.
"Yep and now the know where we are." Evan then turned toward Taupe, "It's not too late to check him into an asylum."
"I tried that once,however he was released within an hour due to the doctors being unable to control him."
"Shit." he mumbled.
"Yeah, that's what I said."
Suddenly 2 ungodly roars split the air while moving closer.
After the roar ended both Grimm ran out of the forest
"Taupe you and your group get the Lacerta me and the others will take on the Cerberus."
"Anything we should know about this thing?" asked Yeller.
"Yeah, when it camouflages itself, anyone with a sensing semblance can't track or predict it." Said Kevin with slight irritation in his voice.
"Shit." Taupe membered under his breath as he pulled back his coat to reveal dual .357 caliber python revolver, as well as another pistol hilt in a sheath attached to his coat.
"Alright everyone get ready." Said Shura, who got Wukong out and lit his coat on fire before the flames disappeared.
After he said that everyone acted. Evan put his hands in his gantlets before bringing out 2 vials of red dust and 2 green dust crystals, and placing one of each in his gauntlets before making sure that his cloak and necklace were secure enough to not fall off, Kevin loaded his shotgun before mech-transforming it back into a bastard sword and bringing the shield off his back before getting into a stance that looked like it was made for a far longer and heavier blade, and Nico glared at Lone Star before readying his wakizashi and calming himself to the point that his face looked blank.
Even the other team followed Shura's orders as Taupe drew his dual python's and looked into the woods looking ready to kill, Yale pulled out a machete and created a neon green hard light shield and started swinging them around with a crazy grin on his face, Dustin raised his walking stick before covering it in a barely visible casing of wind and got into a fighting position all former nervousness gone and his face full of confidence, and Yeller pulled back his bow before a light arrow appeared his face one of determination and eyes full of regret.
"Alright everyone…SPLIT UP!" came the dual voices of Shura and Taupe.
With Taupe and co.
As the 4 of them rushed the Lacerta Taupe took aim and unloaded every round in his guns to make it bleed and weaken it before it could disappear. When Yeller was halfway to the giant lizard, he stopped and jumped up onto a nevermore feather and started firing arrows of light.
When Dustin got within ten feet in front of the Lacerta, which was writhing in pain from the multiple light arrows piercing its hide, he released a giant blade of wind that cut halfway through its midsection, and at the same time Yale threw his shield at its right eye, and gripped his machete with both hands, before creating a giant hard-light blade around it, slicing downward in midair, he cleanly cut off its head.
"WHO'S UP FOR SOME BBQ!" shouted Yale as everyone looked at him. "What I eat giant lizards for breakfast." he said with a giant grin on his face (imagine Luffy's smile when his eyes are closed).
"That is slightly terrifying." Said Yeller. "Now let's see how the others are doing.
As they turned around to watch the fight they could only stare in awe at the scene they witnessed. Well all except Yale, he was busy grilling a piece of the grimm using a grill that he got from somewhere. Where did it come from? Who knows? (not even I know, and I own his ass)
With Team SNKE
When the 2 teams split up the 4 of them charge the Cerberus, only for them to dodge its fire breath from all 3 heads.
"NICO! KEVIN! FLANK IT!" shouted Shura as he threw his glaive ate one of the heads, before dodging another blast of fire. "EVAN, I NEED YOU TO ATTACK ITS FRONT WHEN I HAVE ITS FULL ATTENTION!"
After he said this he noticed another stream of fire roaring towards him, but he stood still. "SHURA!" Screamed the other 3 knowing that even with aura that fire attack will do serious damage. But as they all started to run to him they stopped as they heard laughter in the flame as it started being… absorbed into one spot.
" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU DONE GOOFED!"
Right before the flames completely disappeared Shura's glaive cut through it and embedded itself into the Cerberus's middle neck.
"EVERYONE DO YOUR JOBS! ALL HE'LL DO TO ME IS MAKE ME EVEN MORE POWERFUL! NOW COME BEAST AND LET'S DANCE TO THE MUSIC OF BATTLE!"
"RRRRRROOOOOAAAAARRRRR" said the Grimm as it and its 14 foot tall body of muscle, bone, and evil all charged a glowing super Shura.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" yelled Shura as he cocked his fist back and brought his full might of semblance-caused strength down onto the middle heads bone mask, shattering it.
While Shura was having his fun, Nico and Kevin brought down their swords with as much might as they could onto one of the Cerberus's tails with each at one end. This caused the tail not only to become useless but hindered and caused pain to the beast.
Evan also joined in by launching himself up into the air, before coming down with his pipes going full blast, and wind dust powering his gantlets, and ramming into the left head completely eliminating it. This caused one side of its body to hit the ground as its middle head roared in agony and its far right head became dazed. When it tried to get up Nico and Kevin had already cut off the other 2 tails, so it came crashing back down to the ground.
This was the sight that Taupe and his team saw when they turned around.
Shura then retrieved his weapon before sheathing it under his coat as he walked other to the last head standing after the middle head finally subcame to its injuries. As he drew closer the Grimm breathed a fire stream in hopes of taking one out with it, only for Shura to absorb it again and punch though the bone mask, killing it almost instantly.
As they were about to continue to the cliff, 2 bulkheads passed by in the sky. One stopped and lowered itself down while the other continued.
"Well what are you waiting for? Get on." Stated the pilot before they all got in
Later
(p.s. team sorting happens as normal till after RWBY)

*clapping*
"Now then all non-freshman teams are excused."
After everyone but the 20 first year students had left Ozpin started to talk.
"First on your scroll's are the key to your dorms, so don't lose them. Second, team leaders are required to take a leadership class with me every Thursday. Third, your year has a week till school starts so my suggestion is to start learning the school lay out. And fourth, before you can go to your dorms you are required to see one of our medical staff for a check-up.
"WHAT!"
"Yes Mr. Snakeroot that means you too. Also Mr. Thorn you might have to force him to go as he seems to not like doctors.
The last thing Ozpin saw of the freshman class before the door closed was Evan dragging Kevin out the door, while Kevin dragged his fingernails across the floor trying to get away, but Evans grip was too strong. Even so his terrified screams could be heard over the entire campus.
"NO!NO!NO!NO! NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!"
And that's a wrap, now the next chapter might take a while, because it involves an OC I got permission to use from another author that needs them to write due to me not doing the OC justice. So remember the crazy OC that I mentioned last chapter, yeah that was Yale, he is really fun to write (despite the sugar intake needed to write him). Anyway here's the songs.
Theme Songs
Taupe Floyd- One Step Closer- Linkin Park
Yale Metallica- So What- Three Days Grace
Dustin Aerosmith- People Are Crazy- Billy Currington
Yeller Seger- Welcome to the Black Parade- My Chemical Romance
I choose the first two because of their personalities (personally I wouldn't be surprised if Yale became like Deadpool in the way of breaking the fourth wall) and the last two were chosen because of their backstory. Now if you would excuse me, I need to add an extra five feet to the fourth wall before Yale can burst through, that damn psychopath.
