A/N: Ladies and Gentlemen. This is the day.

Azeroth: The day where I show off my Semblance.

Maybe... But I was specifically referring to me adding new OCs.

That wasn't in the contract!

It is. Go read section 12, paragraph 3.

'Nyarlathotep has the full right to add characters, or change the story, however he sees fit.' Gosh, dang it. Didn't see that part.

Oops.

So, will you tell me who the OCs are?

Sure. I thought about adding you to team RWBY, making it RWBAY, but I decided that would be kind of weird.

Okay...

So, I decided to make you a team. Team ASAL (ASsAuLt).

Okay, but what are their names?

Sargeras, Argus, and Locus Walker.

Okay, than... SARGERAS ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Nope. Don't worry, he's got a Chaotic Good Alignment.

...What about the others?

Argus is True Neutral. You are Lawful Good. Locus is Chaotic Neutral.

Interesting...

Ruby, Yang, and Azeroth stood together in the auditorium, waiting for Ozpin to begin his speech. Ruby was in the middle of telling Yang, in a stumbling way, what had happened with Weiss Schnee.

Azeroth's keen hearing caught a familiar voice...

"Let go of me! I'm not apologizing to them!"

"Yes, you are, sister."

Azeroth turned to see Weiss being pulled toward them, by a tall, orange-haired, boy, wearing black armor. Across his back, was a massive emerald sword.

The boy reached them. Ruby jumped into Yang's arms. "Oh, hell, its HER!"

Yang looked at the two newcomers. "You didn't mention Bleach-Hair over here."

"That is because he was not there." Said Azeroth smoothly. She turned to the orange-haired one. "Getting back to subject, who are you?"

The boy cleared his throat. "My name is Sargeras Schnee. It is a pleasure to meet the three of you." His orange eyes turned to Weiss. "Now, its your turn."

Weiss pulled her hand out of Sargeras' grip. "Like I need an introduction! Especially to those two!" Weiss stared disgustedly at Azeroth.

Sargeras looked at Azeroth. "I believe I understand what happened. I apologize for anything that my sister may have said or done to you, or Miss Ruby."

"Your apology is appreciated." said Azeroth smoothly. Ruby got down from Yang's arms, muttering something about how she accepted Sargeras' apology, but didn't blame Weiss.

"So." said Sargeras. "Do you know when Ozpin is to give his speech?"

Blake stayed in her corner of the auditorium, watching the debacle. The fact that Weiss Schnee was here was not good. The fact that her brother, said to be the other heir of the SDC, was also here was bad. The White Fang would find out. And if Adam came...

"You look distracted." Said a new, exotic, voice.

Blake jumped, startled. She had felt no presence approaching her. She turned toward the voice. Her eyes widened in surprise.

It was a boy. He wore a simple combination of jacket, t-shirt, pants, and well-worn shoes. He carried no weapon, beyond two bracelets on his wrists. But what made Blake's eyes widen was the fact that he was covered in bandages. She couldn't even see his hair. Disturbingly, black mist seemed to flow from the edges of his bandages.

"Who might you be?" Blake asked, trying to calm herself.

"My name is Locus Walker. I prefer to be called Locus. Who are you?"

"My name is Blake. Can I ask..."

"About the bandages? Part of my Semblance."

"What Semblance would require that?"

"This one."

Blake felt slightly better. "So you're a new student as well?"

"I suppose so." said Locus, tilting his head slightly.

"Where do you come from?" asked Blake, hesitantly.

"A place far away from here." sighed Locus. "Much like you are from Menagerie."

Blake's eyes widened. "How...?"

"Did I know what you were?" Finished Locus. "Simple, really. Your pose, your very words themselves, gave me the idea of a cat."

"Oh..." said Blake.

"Don't worry. I have no issue with you." said Locus, walking away.

That... Was weird... And very bad... thought Blake.

'Why am I here?' thought Argus Fall, despondently, as he waited for Ozpin to give his speech.

His sister, curse her, had told him that 'This will be good for you. You will be able to meet new people. Plus, you could give us an advantage.'

Argus despised Salem. He would end her, if she wasn't nearly always surrounded by her underlings. But it wasn't time to imagine ending Salem. Ozpin was approaching the microphone.

"I'll keep this brief.

You've traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you are finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people.

But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction.

You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far.

It is up to you to take the first step."

After Ozpin was done, everyone got ready for bed.

Azeroth, Ruby, and Yang set up their sleeping bags near each other. Azeroth became entranced in her drawing, while Ruby wrote to her other friends at Signal.

Azeroth barely listened as her two friends traded comments about boys, letters, and the Schnee two, entranced as she was.

"What'cha drawing, Zer?" asked Yang, throwing herself on Azeroth's back.

"Jaina." said Azeroth, finishing the pink highlight in Jaina's hair.

"I thought she was blonde..." said Yang, curiosity getting the better of her.

"This is the Frost Lich version."

"Ah..." said Yang. She looked at the drawing closely, then chuckled. "You should write manga for a living."

"Don't tempt me." smiled Azeroth.

The next morning came with a bang.

Or rather, a Yang.

"Rise and shine! Today is the day!" yelled Yang, waking up first, as per the norm.

A pillow, traveling at the speed of sound, hit Yang in the face.

After showering, and eating, the group headed toward the Locker Room.

Azeroth grabbed Arkham's Asylum.

Sargeras grabbed his sword, Gorshalach.

Argus grabbed his Scythe Of The Unmaker.

And Locus-Walker grabbed his bracelets.

And so began Initiation.

The twelve of them stood on platforms, each emblazoned with an odd symbol. Azeroth studied hers.

"Aperture Science? Never heard of them."

"Not surprising." said Ozpin. "They are a rather secretive organization. They are obsessed with movement, and are of a belief that one day we can travel to other planets."

"Even with the fact that Dust doesn't work outside the atmosphere?" asked Azeroth.

"Even with that. They apparently are set on creating an entirely new energy source."

"Might be a good idea." thought Azeroth to herself.

"It is time to begin." said Ozpin. He cleared his throats, signaling to the students that it was time to get in position.

"For years, you have trained to become warriors. And today, your skills will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."

Glynda spoke up. "Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates."

"Today."

Ruby looked at Azeroth hopefully.

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon." Said Ozpin. "So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with be your partner for the next four years."

Ruby's world shattered. "WHAT?!"

"After you've partnered up," continued Ozpin, "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."

Azeroth waited for him to be done.

She was excited.

Azeroth was the first to be launched. She grinned.

"And so it begins."

She Blinked out of her fall, ending up several meters away. She heard the yells, and screams, of her year-mates as they flew above her. She Blinked again, and again, skipping huge sections of the forest.

A ball of flame fell to earth, directly in front of her. She paused, guessing who it was. Her suspicion was confirmed when a familiar face came out of the crater.

"So," Said Azeroth, "shall we find these relics, partner?"

"Certainly, partner." Said Sargeras.

Locus Walker landed easily. The fact that this itself was a test was amusing. Locus decided to make it one of the tests for his students.

Locus moved through the brush. He felt the prescence of Grimm. He felt amusement. They were blind to him.

Locus moved toward the Grimm. They did not feel him. His bracelets transformed into claws. He stepped into the clearing where the Grimm were. They could not see him. They sniffed the ground. Locus sliced the head of the first Beowulf in twain. The remainders looked up, but they couldn't see him. Locus laughed. Before he could do anything else, a boy wearing golden armor appeared, and killed them. Locus faced the newcomer.

"My name is Locus-Walker. Who are you?"

"Argus Fall."

Okay, that's it for today. Sorry, but I'm done.

I don't like this scene. It takes too long.

Agreed. I'd skip it if I could, but I need to show Semblances and Weapons.

So Sargeras has Gorschalach. Does it split in two?

Yep.

Love the Scythe Of The Unmaker. Argus is the biggest surprise, being related to Cinder, right?

Actually no. Locus has the biggest reveal. His bracelets are called the Void-Slicers. His Semblance is Void.

And what does that mean?

The Grimm are a creation of Void, exercised by Salem. And, as such, they cannot sense anything which is pure Void, like Locus.

Ah. That is interesting.

Next time: The First Battles Of Team ASAL! BTW Locus knows how Azeroth, Sargeras, and Argus have Avatars here.

Wait... WHAT?!

Spoilers...
