Chapter 6
Up top on Beacon Cliff Professor Ozpin was using his scroll to see the progress of the soon to be students. Glynda walked up next to him with her own scroll.
"Our last pair has been formed sir." She said switching to a different channel on her scroll, "Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. Poor boy, I can't possibly imagine those two getting along. Still, he's probably better off than Miss Nikos."
"Hmm." Ozpin replied.
"I don't care what his transcripts say, that Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat." She said while turning her scroll off. "I guess we'll find out soon enough." She then turned and started walking away. "At their current pace, they should reach the temple within just a few minutes." Glynda stopped mid step and turned around to ask Ozpin a question. "Speaking of which, what did you use for relics this year...Professor Ozpin."
Ozpin attention wasn't on the conversation or most of the students. His focus was on a single person, one boy named Theodore Constantine. When Ozpin first heard that name, he looked him up on the internet to see if there was any information. The only pieces of info he saw were that he has been Vale's crime fighter for over a year. He protected both humans and Faunus. The city's crime rates had significantly gone down thanks to his involvement. Even the police saw him as a hero and asked him for help on certain occasions. That, however, was not what Ozpin was thinking about.
What are you hiding?
That was the question in the back of his mind. So far, he has seen Theodore shoot six beowolves and blow up three ursas with explosives. That is not what caught Ozpin's attention though. It was how Theodore got those weapons. He pulled them out of his coat as if they were in there the whole time. That was basically impossible, because the coat would have been bulky if it carried that many items. He would ask the young man about it later. Right now, he was heading in the direction of one of the teams that had been paired, so he switched his viewing to where they were.
Ruby sat on the ground playing with a leaf. Of all the people, she had to be paired with, it had to be Weiss Schnee. She had hoped she was either paired with Yang, Jaune, Blake, or Theodore. Sadly, that wasn't the case and both individuals were not happy. They had constantly been at each other's throats about who was better or where to go. Right now, they were lost but Weiss did not believe so and tried to figure out where to go. However, no one can figure out where they are going if they're walking in circles.
"It's definitely this way." She said before turning around the who knows how many times, "I mean, this way. It's definitely this way." She then stopped right in front of Ruby. "Alright, it's official. We passed it."
Ruby, having enough, dropped the leaf she was playing with and stood up.
"Why can't you just admit that you have no idea where we are going?" she asked.
"Because I know exactly where we are going." Weiss replied, "We're going…to…the Forest Temple."
Ruby let out a groan of annoyance.
"Oh, stop it!" Weiss exclaimed "You don't know where we are either."
"Well, at I don't pretend like I know everything." Ruby shot back.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"It means you're a big, stupid jerk and I hate you!"
Weiss let out a groan of annoyance before turning around and started walking away.
"Just keep moving." She said.
"Ah, just keep moving. Hurry up. Waaahhh, watch where you're going." Ruby mocked before saying, "Why are you so bossy?!"
"I'm not bossy!" Weiss exclaimed turning around and walking back "Don't say things like that."
"Stop treating me like a kid!"
"Stop acting like a kid!"
"WOULD YOU TWO PLEASE BE QUIET?!" shouted a familiar voice. Both girls turned to see Theodore Constantine walking up to them with an annoyed expression on his face. "I could hear you a mile away! It's a wonder those things haven't found you yet!"
"You mean the Grimm?" Weiss asked.
"If they are black and look like they have masks on their faces, then yes the Grimm." Theodore answered.
"You've never heard of the Grimm?" Ruby asked.
"Not exactly, Ruby. I've never left the city, so I wouldn't know."
"Shows how little you know." Weiss spoke up, "How can you possibly hope to- "
"BE QUIET!" Theodore shouted to Weiss making her and Ruby flinch from surprise. He then took a few breaths to calm himself. "You are really testing my patience. This makes you number two on my list of 'People who Annoy Me.'"
"Who's number one?" Ruby asked.
"My dad."
"Well, Mr. Con-stan-tine, do you know where we are supposed to go?" Weiss asked in a 'know it all' tone.
"As a matter of fact, I do." Theodore stated, "Follow me."
He then started walking towards some rocks that stacked up to make a small hill. Ruby followed close behind while Weiss lagged. Climbing up to the top, they saw what looked like an old building that decayed over time.
"The temple!" Ruby shouted for joy, "You found it, Theodore! You found it!"
"How did you know?" Weiss asked. She wouldn't admit it to them, but she was equally surprised that he knew where it was.
"I climbed some trees while I was looking for a path." He answered, "I saw in the distance and walked in a straight path which lead me to you two. Walking will take about twenty minutes to get there but- "He was interrupted when Ruby hugged while thanking him countless times.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" she kept saying over and over until Theodore was able to gently pry her off.
"You're welcome." He said with a smile, "You two go on ahead. I'll make sure no Grimm followed us."
Both girls made their way down the hill carefully while Theodore stayed behind for a moment to check if any Grimm were in the area. Seeing there was nothing he decided to join them in their climb down the hill.
"We'll get to the temple without any trouble." He said to himself. Sadly, that wouldn't be the case. From above came a very loud sound that sound like a bird, except bigger and scarier. Looking up he saw what looked like a giant raven with a mask flying towards him.
I just had to say something. He thought.
AN: Hey everyone. Already have a new story planned. It's going to be another crossover but this time in the Marvel Universe and Kenichi The Mightiest Disciple. Until next time, Sentinel Prime out.
