Beacon's Weapon Locker Room, Beacon Academy, Vale
Ruby sat on a bench contemplating about the day prior. Mainly about her interaction with Wiess but mostly about how she was gonna form a team. But she also thought a lot about what Mr.Raku said. How again bright eyed teens like her are gonna be the first to be "wash outs" as he called failures. Though thinking about it now. She just went back to her encounter with the snot nosed princess. Thinking that it would be better than Mr.Rakus "encouragement".
"Still down in the dumps huh?" Her sister's voice infiltrated her head.
She looked up with a sigh.
"Yang?" She said lowly
"What is it this time?" Yang asked
Ruby looked away with a softer sigh and sadder face.
"Yesterday was a complete disaster." She replied.
"Yeah. And?" Yang said
"It's just...rumors have it that during initiation. They're gonna separate us into teams before we start classes."
"Oh. That."
"And… that your teammates become your roommates too."
Yang looked up with a sigh on her face.
"Yeah. That's no laughing matter. Especially given with how shy you are."
"I just don't know if you'll be on my team or not." Ruby replied. "I'm just not sure I can do this."
Yang just stared at her defeated sister in silence. She to thinking about what that Ice Queen and Robot man said to Ruby to bring down her spirits. She then smiled.
"Why not team up with Wiess?" Yang joked.
Only she got a deadpan stare. Yang then looked away.
"Just remember why your here Ruby. To be the greatest Huntress you dreamed of being."
Ruby looked up with a brighter face only to be let down by what Yang said next.
"Just don't stick to me like glue please? Why not try Jaune? He would make the perfect brother in law." Yang teased. "Oh look speak of the devil. But you may want to hurry though I think Snow Queen might make a Tsundere move on him"
Ruby while blushing very red like her cape looked back to see Jaune trying to get Weiss to date him again. While also still failing.
"Come on. Don't be like that snow angel." Jaune said
Hewitt, Uldren, and Maira just simply grabbed there rifles and decided to get out of Weiss's banshee voice range. Jaune held out a hand from his plated gloves like that of a fairytale knight.
"The minute I spotted you. I felt the pull between our souls. It felt like Destiny has but brought us together. So what do you say?"
Weiss stared for a moment as if giving it a thought even though her answer was the same as before.
"If I ever need a Knight who reeks of vomit as a human shield. You'll be the first to know."
Crack
The sound of Jaune's reality had shattered there instantly as well as a random counter and dinger sound off.
Jaune gets owned counter: 3
Jaune immediately started to feel faint as the words "smell like vomit" and "human shield". Where the only things to actually repeat in his mind. But as he wobbled backwards to fall to the ground for Jaune to meet concrete. A hand came by and prevented that from happening. Jaune looked back to see the one who prevented the fall and saw that it was a red haired girl. Green eyes as well as rather Mistrialian looking armor from the Province of Sparta. The young woman smiled as he spoke with a very honey laced voice.
"Wouldn't want to get hurt before Initiation begins." The angel spoke.
Jaune nervously chuckled at the remark.
"Yeah. That would be bad." He replied.
"Oh I sense a love square." Yang smugly said to Ruby who only blushed so red that she felt like fainting.
"So ah what's your name?" Jaune asked naturally.
The girl smiled brightly.
"Oh. My name is…" however the girl was cut off by Weiss.
"Really Jaune? You don't know who Pyrrha Nikos is?" Weiss berated him.
Jaune looked confused. Pyrrha, hoping something like this wouldn't happen, sighs as Weiss continues.
"What? Is she famous or something?" Jaune asked
"*sigh* Un Freaking believable." Weiss scolded. "She graduated top of her class at Sanctum."
"I'm sorry what?" Jaune replied.
Utterly confusing Weiss.
"She's won the Mistral Regional Tournament four years in a row."
"The hell is that,
Weiss's anger was now at its boiling point now.
"SHE'S ON THE FROSTED PETES CEREAL PACKAGING!!!!" weiss shouted into his face.
"Wait really?" Jaune said as he starry eyes Pyrrha. "Only Famous athletes get to be on that box!!!"
"See. She's practically everyone's top pick for a partner. Get it through your Skull. She's way out of your league." Weiss stated.
"Is that a fact?" Stated Hewitt from his seat with his two childhood friends doing weapons checks on there weapons. "Never knew a princess could be such a bitch."
Weiss immediately started fuming with more rage. Hewitt just smirked. Knowing that he could easily piss her off. Though while Uldren and Maria don't particularly condone Hewitts behavior. They had to admit watching entitled brats throw a tantrum was hilarious.
"Why I never!" she started
"What angry?" he replied.
"Livid actually. Thanks for asking!" Weiss said back. "Anywho get it Jaune?"
"Yeah…..i get it."
"I wouldn't put it that way Jaune. I heard that the teams comprise of four members each." Pyrrha said lifting his spirits up.
"Sweet we can all be on the same team!" Jaune practically jumped for joy.
"DO NOT. Say that as if speaking for me!" Weiss said
"What's the matter Claude? Chicken?" Hewitt laughed.
Uldren and Maria started to chuckle as the loaded their respective magazines into their weapons loading rounds into the barrels. Ruby just looked on in amazement of how Jaune managed to get people talking to him. Without even trying. Then the entercom system lit up to speak.
"Will all first year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation. It will start in ten minutes."
Soon they all where at the cliff. Hundreds of students lined the long way on the catapults. Raku holding his RPK was next to Professor Goodwitch who had a tablet in hand. And Professor Ozpin Headmaster of Beacon Academy. Stood in front of the armored man and his right hand women.
"For today's initiation. It's simple. You are to make your way to temple ruins in the forests. There you will find relics. Pick one and fall back here. A simple retrieval mission. Professor Raku. Do explain the dangers." The black suit wearing Headmaster said.
With a nod Raku stepped forward. A air of experience and expertise in his stance made everyone feel a bit intimidated by his rather professional posture. Taking out a disk from the back of his armor utility belt. He pressed a button on the side to activate it to make a big geographic projection.
"Listen up kids, because I'm only saying this once. Common Grim in these forests are tier one Beowolves and Ursas. While tier two and above to majors haven't been spotted yet by any of my scouting teams. Do be prepared. Not all information will be correct to the dot. Always have wiggle room to spare for errors. It could save your life. Now so far no ancient Grim have appeared yet nor any Tier 9 Nevermores. However do watch your everything. These beasts are a pain in the ass. Your objective is about ten kilometers due north."
Raku's disc then shows what the temple structure looks like.
"This is the ruins that have been spotted with the relics. Once you have been inserted into the forests via catapult LALO jump insertion. (Low Altitude Low Operating Jump). Your first objective is to land and IMMEDIATELY head to the Ruins. Your second objective is to find a partner. How this arrangement is first eye contact. Once first eye contact is established. You AND YOUR partner will immediately head to the ruins. Grab ONE relic and haul ass back here. And on your way back. You will meet up with a Pair of transformers who will serve as your partners as well."
He put away his halodisc and looked back up.
"And because there's a odd number of you and Ozpin's insistence. I will be joining you lot to be partnered up with a team. However, I will still not interfere like the rest of the staff, nor will I help with your homework. I'm merely here to even out the teams as well as teach leadership. So if any of you greenhorns wanted to see a real Huntsmans in action up close, this is gonna be your lucky day. Now then any questions or needs of the staff?"
Glynda merely nodded for all to go. Raku nodded back and turned around.
"Ah mister raku sir?" Jaune started.
"Prep for insertion."
"So what do you mean by…"
Jaune was immediately flung from the cliff like everyone else.
"Did Mr.Arc have something to say Glynda?" Ozpin asked as he sipped his coffee.
"I believe he did sir." Glynda replied.
"Humm." Ozpin replied.

Hanger, few feet under cliff, Beacon Academy, Vale
Bumblebee and Hotrod stood next to each other as they waited for Kup to come out and explain what the hell there gonna be doing. So light conversations were had all over the place.
"Damn do your joints feel wacky?" Bumblebee asked as he was stretching put his arms due to several lock ups that happened earlier.
"Yeah man. With that Kup guy it feels like where back in bootcamp." Hotrod replied.
"Hay at least we only see him when we pt or when they lights out." Bumblebee replied.
"ALRIGHT YOU DAGGITS EYES ON ME!" Kup shouted at the tip of his vocal oscillators.
Once everyone directed their attention to him. He started his brief.
"Listen up. You all will be dropping into the Emerald forests. There you will each find one individual human partner you make eye contact with. Then you will both head to a temple ruins up north while waiting for your human partner to find one of their own. Any questions?" Kup asked
"ah sir how are we deploying?" said a random bot.
"by this! A state of the Art. MS launcher able to now launch a regular Cybertronian." Said Gripgrinder
Every bot, but those who are like that black machine from the airship the day prior, didn't know what those where. The Airel bots also used them during the war long ago apparently but there confusion still was obvious.
"The locks on the launcher will grifeat your feet and launch you with a lot of force to make you basically fly for a few hundred yards." Kup said.
"Any questions." Skyrim stated
"How will we know our partner?" Said a not listening bot
" I just stated before that when you make first eye contact with a human that they will be your human partner. Now the. You are to hunker down about a few hundred yards away from the ruins and wait for a human to meet up with you. Now then. On the launcher!" Kup said
First batch of bits where the MS bots or Mobile Shocktrooper. All the Cybertronians watched as the MS units let there feet land steady on the launch pad and let the arms wrap around their feet. Then with the hit of a button. They launched. Batch after batch of first years went through till it was Bumblebee and Hotrods turn.
"Bet yeah can't stick it." Bumblebee stated with a smirk under his face visor
" I wont." Hotrod said
This caused a odd silence as Hotrod realized what he said.
"LOSE I won't Lose." Hotrod clarifies.
"To late already fucked it up." Bumblebee stated as he was thrown from the launcher
"Oh Scrapping damnit." Hotrod cursed as he to was then launched.
Random Whitefang meeting hall, Vale
Several whitefang members checked over there weapons as they began to form there plan on there latest attack on humans. Well also getting dust assets.
"This is the story that where robbing." Said the WF leader. "We should have a five minute window to grab as much dust in the panic as possible."
"What about Huntsman and that Headhunter?" Said a random grunt
"The Headhunter is busy at the school as our intel says. The Huntsman as well are at the school to evaluate the future 'Guardians' as of now." The leader said
"Like taking candy from a human child." Said a random grunt.
However before they could cheer the lights flickered and went off.
"Damn power outages. Rick get the generator back on line." The leader said
"On it gah!!!" Said the grunt known as rick as a red plasma blade was activated and went through his flesh and just as it came it quickly turned off.
"What the hell?" Said another random grunt.
"Sir its gah!!!" Said another grunt as he was impaled by the same red plasma blade and it again quickly disappeared into the black room.
"Who is this guy!" said one of the last four grunts.
Hey started first randomly as they heard footsteps of this mysterious person. The glows of there muzzles only giving enough visibility for their vision to see only a few seconds. The reason is that these Faunus animal traits are that of animals that are not nocturnal or have the ability to see in the dark. Then two red blades appeared again. The last four grunts looked panicked. The leader just shouted.
"OPEN FIRE!!!"
The plasma dust rounds just bounced or where deflected away. The ethereal glow from the plasma blades made the intruder look like he was a demon. It didn't help that the man in front of the five remaining whitefang members just fired round after round trying to hit him. He just came closer and closer. The first ones weapon got sliced in half and then the blade entered his chest and out his back. The second one was the same way but instead was decapitated. The last three just tried full auto but the man managed to deflect then all back at them. Two more Faunus went down as a result from the dust plasma burning through there skulls.
The last remaining grunt fired one shot. However it was then deflected off the right. He shot again but it was deflected off to the left. The whitefang grunt just stared in shock and fear that he didn't feel the door his back hit. Then the masked man made his final move. From the outside of the door. The Faunus head shook with agony as he tried to open the door to get out. But he was then silenced. As the blades went through his body and the door. Moving them to the opposite sides the body fell from the porthole view in the door. And dropped like a sack of bricks.
The door was then blasted off the hinges by the masked man's kick. The blades still ignited. Once he stepped over the fallen body. He turned off one blade and used the other to mark side if the door. Three chevrons angled downward was burned into the side of the metallic frame. Turning off his last blade. He saw that one was still alive. Crawling out if the shadows. The Grunt choked on blood and snot as it was getting harder to breathe. With a outstretched hand he struggled to say words. But he was then silenced by the masked man's gun. The smoke from the barrel sizzled when the round left the barrel. Into the head of the last grunt who crawled all the way to the door.
After lifting up the ids he recovered from the bodys. He sent off a text to a unknown contact. As well as photos of the graphic sending it to VIA scroll
scroll-
Man: Vale branch safe house cleared. Sending IDs. *the photos and the names of the dead grunts were sent as well*
Unknown: well done. Your reward will go to your account accordingly. Have you found the Identity of the one girl who was with Torus on that train heist?
Man: negative but my lead has let me to make a assumption that she's at Becon Academy for whatever purpose I do not know.
Unknown: Roger. Make sure you end her quickly and without incident. If Ozbin found out one of his "students" was a terrorist that was killed then he would spare no effort to hunt you down.
Man: he's sent countless lives to their graves when i stopped obeying his every order like some slave. And unlike that traitorous bird. I kept my mouth shut on whatever he wanted secret. But I hated how he used me.
Unknown: Dont worry love. The SDC will let you have your revenge when the right moment comes. To expose the bastard for what he really is. But for now be patient. He has your best friends daughter under his boots.
Man: I already know. It's such a shame what he's become. Wasteful prick. Reaping the seed he was never meant to sow
Unknown: don't worry we have tabs on him. Soon you will be respected like you should have been when under his employ. "Forsaken"
Forsaken: Oh don't worry. Ozbin and these terror thugs are the least they have to worry about…..
Unknown: Remember. Kill the traitors. Let the police deal with the ones who defected. But do give them tips of their...locations. don't want this to be always linked to you.
Forsaken: with pleasure….

The man looked up as he had walked out of a door to the opposite building the whitefang used as a hide out. He saw as the police started to tap the scene to do there investigations.
"Your world will burn Ozbin. To the point where your own little space will be beamed until it is nothing but glass. And not even you will want to come out of the ashes you have set forth to remain in." The man said as he left the scene
