Sai was starting to stir from a good night's sleep and some great dreams when Damion and Nicolas started getting up and I was still in the middle of a dream with Dimsom. "Wake up, man." Sai said, shaking me, but no dice, still in the middle of my dream.
"Ah, yeah. That's it, Dimsom. Pour that maple syrup...all over my breakfast. You beautiful demon who lives in my house." I said.
"Don't worry guys, that's why I have this." Sai smirked, suddenly pulling out his lightning sword, Ardat and electrocuting me.
I woke up screaming in pain, didn't notice my hair frizzled into a afro. "Dammit. I was in the middle of my sweet ass dream!" I exclaimed, with anime tears falling down my face.
"Wake up, lazy butt!" I heard a hyper-sounding girl say and looked to see a girl with orange hair trying to wake up a guy who must be her good friend, a dude in an outfit I know but am having a hard time describing, but he had black hair and a distinct purple highlight or something in there, looking like that red piece of Ryuko's hair from Kill la kill, but purple instead of red. "It's morning~ It's morning~ It's morning~ It's morning~!" She said in sing-song, then proceeded to talk non-stop... LITERALLY, she would not stop.
"Well she's quite jubilant." Brandyn said as Brie nodded.
"Yeah, it must be tough to be that guy." Serena said.
"Odd mix: a girl bouncing off the walls who never stops talking and a dude who appears to be the quiet, no-energy type of guy." Selene said.
"You know what they say, opposites attract." I said, shrugging as I fixed my hair back to normal.
"She just seems a bit random to me, you know, like the person you could get along well enough with." Damion said
"And you have far more tolerance than me on this matter." Sai said to Damion
We then did the morning stuff, take a shower, get dressed, then finally we all got downstairs and ate breakfast: pancakes, with some eggs and bacon Sai provided. While we were doing that, we noticed the two from before and guess what? The girl was still talking, now with a pancake dangling from her mouth. "So, I hope we end up on the same team together." She said, slurping up the pancake, then looked like she had an idea. "We should come up with a plan to make sure we end up on the same team together. What if we bribe the headmaster?!" She asked, to which we all shook our heads. "No, that won't work, he has a school." She said.
"Something tells me this chick isn't quite all there." Sai said.
"Yeah, no kidding." I said.
We are now in the area where we keep all of our equipment and stuff. "I can't wait to get out into the field. Gonna make some EARTHQUAKES." Nicolas said, stylishly spinning around his hammer, which is NAMED Earthquake.
"Yep. Time to let the Shinigami Destroyer do what it's made for." Damion said, pulling out his katana.
"My sister is a shinigami!" Sai and Serena said, offended.
"Ha! Family Guy Blue Harvest reference!" I laughed as I grabbed my claws, Bloody Delight(formally called Ravage).
"Yep. Once we get out there, first grimm I seek, I'll kill it...long sword style." Brandyn said, brandishing his laser sword from his backpack.
"Sweet! A SSJ9K reference!" I exclaimed.
Then the quiet guy got into his locker and the girl had a much better plan than the first one. "I know! We'll have some sort of signal! Like a distress signal! A secret signal so we can find each other in the forest! Can you imitate a sloth?" She asked.
"Do sloths make noise?" Sai asked.
"I don't know, that's a damn good question." Damion said.
"What does the sloth say? Nicolas started to sing.
"No! None of that! Shame on you." I said, stopping him.
"Thank god/the gods!" Selene and Serena both let out a sigh of relief.
"Nora?" The quiet guy said to get her attention.
"Yes, Ren?" She asked.
"Ren? Like Ren and Stimpy?" Sai asked.
"Loved that show." I said, with Nicolas nodding in agreement.
"Cartoons were so great back then, now it's all that weeb shit." He said jokingly.
I looked at the fourth wall said, "He's just kidding, folks. He likes anime as much as we do."
Ren then raised two badass-looking guns that were like regular pistols, except his were green and had two long, curvy blades on them. "I don't think sloths make a lot of noise." He said, somehow magically hiding them in his sleeves.
She paused for about a second, but... "That's why it's PERFECT! No one will suspect we're working together!" She said.
"Besides every single person in the room." Selene said.
"Right?" Serena said.
"I wonder what those two were so worked up about?" Ruby asked.
"Oh, who knows? So, you seem awfully chipper this morning." Yang asked, noticing her sister was much happier than yesterday.
"Yep! No more awkward small talk or getting to know you stuff. Today, I get to let my sweetheart do the talking." Ruby said, holding her weapon in gun form, stroking it gently. And hugging it.
"Right. That's not weird at all." I said, sarcastically.
"You know, I love my weapons as much as the next guy, but when you start referring to them as your 'sweethearts' and stroke and hug them like that, that's the point I think you've got issues." Sai whispered to Damion.
"I'm sorry, but weren't you just saying yesterday about cradling your guns like a baby?" Asked Damion.
"TOTALLY different. I just cradle them, I don't stroke and hug them." Sai explained, turning his back to him, pulling out his AK, cradling it. "I didn't mean that, baby. No..." he said, hugging it, earning a sweatdrop from the three of us.
"Well, you know, Ruby, You're not the only one going through initiation. If you wanna grow up, your gonna have to meet new people and learn to work together." Yang said.
"Strength in numbers, precisely why A: my clan is so big, B: I have 11 sisters and 3 brothers and C: we get up to 20 chicks at a time. Sai said, nodding.
"Bless your glorious clan." I said.
Ruby, however, groaned when her sister brought up working with others. "Ugh! You sound like Dad!" She said putting her weapon away. "Okay, first of all: What does meeting new people have to do with fighting? And secondly: I don't need people to help me grow up! I drink milk!" She said proudly, closing her eyes and crossing her arms.
"Watch out, ya'll, we got ourselves a gangsta!" Brie said, sarcastically wavy her hands in scared motion. Few of us laughed at this.
"But what about when we form teams?" Yang asked.
Ruby stopped at this. "I don't know... I... I'll just be on your team or something." She said.
"Maybe you should try being on someone else's team." Yang said, playing with her hair.
"I'd like to be on Yang's team." Damion said half slyly, half jokingly.
"Yeah, I doubt that'll happen." I said, which made the vampire to flip a bird at me.
Ruby then got in Yang's face. "My dearest sister Yang, are you implying that you do not wish to be on the same team as me?!" She demanded.
Yang leaned back and waved her hands defensively. "What?! No, of course I do! I just thought... I don't know, maybe it would help you... Break out of your shell." Yang said.
"What the?! I don't need to break out of my shell! That's absolutely-" She started, but then Jaune walked by and completed her sentence out of coincidence.
"Ridiculous!" He said.
"Yeah, Ruby isn't a turtle!" I joked.
"There's no way I put my gear in locker 636, I would've remembered having to count that high! Oh, why does this have to happen today?" He groaned.
"Hey, guys; guess what my favorite Metallica song is." I said, using my blood powers to manipulate Jaune's motor functions, bringing him over to where his locker is, lifting him up to the roof and promptly dropping him in front of his locker. "Master of Puppets!" I exclaimed.
"Really, Draco?" Damion said, deadpan.
"Lame!" Nicolas jeered.
"Don't quit your day job, buddy." Sai added.
"Ah, screw you guys, that was FUNNY!" I said.
As Jaune was grumbling, though, he passed Weiss and a girl who looked somewhat like a Spartan warrior... Not from Halo, either. "So, Pyrrha, have you given any thought to whose team you'd like to be on? I'm sure everyone is eager to unite with such a strong, well-known individual such as yourself." Weiss said.
"Hm... I'm not quite sure. I was planning on letting the chips fall where they may." She said, then both looked over when they hear a noise like a bag of chips being torn open.
"Whoops. My bad." I said, looking down at the floor where all of my chips fell when I ripped open the bag with a little too much force.
"Well, I was thinking we could be on a team together." Weiss said.
"Hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, hol' up! That's 4 times! Hold! That's 4 and a half! Since when is Weiss ever nice to people?!" Sai asked.
"Right?" I said.
"Do DO do do, do DO do do." Nicolas hummed out the Twilight Zone theme.
"Probably because she's trying to get on the same team with this apparently very strong chick." Damion said.
"Great!" Weiss said happily, but then had some form of storm cloud animation behind her as she had an evil thought. 'This will be perfect! The smartest girl in class combined with the strongest girl in class! Together we'll be unstoppable! I can see it now! We'll be popular! We'll be celebrities! We'll get perfect grades! Nothing could come between us now!' She thought evilly.
"Man, that white girl be trippin'." Brie said, with Brandyn nodding in agreement.
"Sista, you said it." Serena said.
However, at this moment, Jaune got between them, focusing on Weiss, leaning up against a wall. "You know what else is great? Me. Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you." He said.
"Y'all know he 'bout to fuck this up." I said, Nicolas nodding.
"That reminds me of this funny picture on Google. They gave Jaune a sombrero, a Mexican mustache like Nicolas' and maracas and the words next to him said 'Juane Arc, Jaune's Spanish cousin.'" Sai said, laughing at the memory.
"There's something wrong with you." Damion said, looking at me.
"You again?" Weiss said, crossing her arms and looking at Jaune.
"Nice to meet you, Jaune." Pyrrha said, appearing beside Weiss.
"Yeah, yeah." He said, stepping in between then again, ignoring Pyhrra.
"Jeez, what a dick." We all said at once.
"So, couldn't help but overhear your fondness of me the other day." He said, striking what would be a manly pose if he were... You know, MANLY.
"She was being sarcastic, stupid idiot!" I called out.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" She said, face-palming.
"Don't worry. No need to be embarrassed. So, been hearing rumors about teams~, I was thinking you and me would make a good one." He said.
"Hm... A girl whose only use seems to be bitching and a dude who doesn't seem to have a use at all yet... Yeah, I can see that team going places." Sai said, sarcastically.
"Actually, I think the teams are comprised of 4 students." Pyrrha said.
"Hell yeah, Immortal Badass for the win, bay-bay!" I said, chest-bumping Sai, then fist-bumping Damo as Nicolas and Sai chest-bumped, then headbutted Nicolas as Nick and Damion fist-bumped, then holding my forehead in pain.
"You don't say?" Jaune said, stepping closer to Pyrrha. "Well, hot-stuff, play your cards right and maybe you could join up with the winning team." He said.
Weiss then stepped in between them, pushing them away from each other, her hand on Pyrrha's boobs as she did this (not kidding). "Jaune, is it? Do you have ANY idea who you're talking to?" She asked in her usual pole-up-her-ass attitude.
"Not in the slightest, Snow Angel." He said, leaning in towards her.
"You know, he's not doing the worst job of being suave I've ever seen. Better than Tsukune at least." I said, my group bursting out in laughter.
"This is Pyrrha." She said.
"Hello again." Pyrrha said, waving.
"Pyrrha graduated top of her class at Sanctum." Weiss said, bragging as if she were introducing her daughter or girlfriend or as if that was HER accomplishment.
"SANCTUM?! Where?!" Sai said, pulling out the Blazefire saber (Lightning's default Gunblade).
"Never heard of it." Jaune said.
"She's won the Mistral regional tournament 4 years in a row! A new record!" Weiss added.
"The what?" Jaune asked.
"I'm having a hard time telling who's stupider right now: him or Tsukune." I wondered.
"He just seems clueless. Tsukune actually IS stupid. There's levels." Damion said.
"Ah, I see." I said.
"There are?" Sai asked.
"She's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box!" Weiss said, flailing her arms.
Jaune finally got it, gasping and putting his hands over his mouth. "That's you?! They only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters!" He said as the image of the box appeared behind her.
"I knew I recognized her! I know the cereal. It's... Okay." Serena said.
"Our 4 youngest sisters love it, anyway." Sai said.
"Yeah, it was pretty cool. Sadly, the cereal isn't very good for you." Pyrrha said.
"I prefer Booty-Os anyways." I said, holding up a blue cereal box with pictures of three animated black dudes. "Seriously, go Google it, it's a legit cereal." I said, looking at the fourth wall.
Weiss appeared beside her again after this. "So, after hearing all of this, do you really think your in a position to ask HER to be on your team?" She asked.
"Well tough titties, bitch, he does wind up being on her team, not you." I said.
"SPOILER ALERT!" Everyone else said.
"I guess not. Sorry." He said, dropping his head.
"Actually, Jaune, I think you'd make a great leader!" Pyrrha said encouragingly, putting her hand on his shoulder.
Huh... You know, from where I have it paused right now, it looks like he's about to reach out and grab her boobs. Anyway, he reached out after she said this- okay, okay, he was only doing some type of double fist-pump, now with his hands under his chin. "Oh, stop it!" He said, sounding a bit embarrassed.
"Please stop it. This type of behavior should not be encouraged." Weiss said.
"Neither should yours, tiny tits." I said.
"Man, your hate boner towards her is real, Draco." Nicolas said.
"Or a regular boner. Hard to tell the difference with him." Sai said, shrugging.
"Well, it seems Pyrrha's on board for team Jaune. Spots are filling up quick. Now, I'm not supposed to do this, but maybe I could pull some strings. Find a place for you. What do you say?" He asked, leaning in, causing her to back away.
"Alright! That's a bit too close!" She said, putting her hands out to stop him.
"Hey, Jaune! Get closer!" I called out, finding a rapier sticking out of my chest the second after.
"You stay out of this!" She snapped. "I still hadn't forgiven you for those insults you said to me yesterday!" She added.
"Good for you, because ain't apologizing." I said, but then I added, "And thanks for the weapon!" Suddenly, a strange glyph appeared on my chest and launched the weapon right back into her hand. "No matter, you know what happens when you attempt physical harm on me?" I questioned the heiress.
"Oh shit, she's in for it now." Sai said.
"Do you know what happens cold bitches like you who inflict physical harm on Draco Bloodgrave?!" As I got out my pen and paper on a clipboard that says The List of Draco on the back of say clipboard. "Weiss Schnee..." then I click the Pen of Draco, "YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!" And then I wrote her name on it.
"What kind of list?!" She demanded.
"The List of Draco, you stupid idiot! That's right, it's making a debut in this very fanfic!" I said.
"Pyrrha, a little help, please?" She asked, referring to Jaune.
Jaune turned just in time for a spear to be thrown at him, sending him flying, now pinned to a wall by his hoodie, which the spear impaled through and stabbed into a wall. "I'm sorry!" She called.
"Would all first year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation. Again, all first year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately." Glynda Goodwitch's voice said over the intercom.
"It was nice meeting you." Pyrrha said, pulling her spear out of Jaune's hood and following Weiss out.
Jaune fell to the floor after he was freed. "Likewise." He sighed.
"Having some trouble there, lady killer?" Yang asked.
"Acquitted!" Sai said nervously, looking around.
"I don't understand. My dad said all women look for is confidence. Where did I go wrong?" He said as Ruby helped him up.
"Oh, there's a bigger list than that. But in this case, where you went wrong was acting all full of yourself and like you were all that. There's a saying I learned from Dane Cook, *to the 4th wall*, not face-to-face, from his movie 'My Best Friend's Girl', *to Jaune*, to get them to come, you make them think they're the shit, to get them to run, you make them think your the shit. That's why Weiss ran and Pyrrha tacked you to a wall." Sai said, nodding.
"And Snow Angel probable wasn't the best start." Yang said.
"Come on, Jaune, let's go." Ruby said, helping him walk.
Later...
We are now on a big-ass cliff. Ozpin and Glynda stood in front of us, Ozpin of course having a mug of coffee as usual as he spoke. "For years you have been trained to become warriors." He said.
"Ever since I was a smol boy." I said.
"And today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin continued.
"Sounds like a stage in Sonic the Hedgehog." I said, to which everyone nodded.
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams." Glynda said.
"Yep." I said, nodding.
"Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates. Today." She said.
"What?! Aw!" Ruby whined.
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well." Ozpin said, Ruby letting out another worried groan as the guys and I fist-bumped each other. "And, the first person you make eye contanct with when you land will be your partner for the next 4 years." He finished, the guys and I were somewhat shocked by this, but Ruby was completely horrified.
"WHAT?!" She said.
"See? I told you!" Nora said, putting her hand on Ren's shoulder.
"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path, or you will die." Ozpin said again.
"Now there's something I can understand!" Sai said with a smirk, Jaune laughing nervously, then gulping.
"You will be monitored graded for the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene." Ozpin continued.
"Fine by me. I've never liked people getting in my way." Damion said.
"You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path, containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item, as well as your standing... And grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?" Ozpin finished.
"Um, yeah, sir?" Jaune asked raising his hand.
"Good. Now, take your positions." Ozpin said, all of us getting ready to be launched.
"Um... Sir? I've got a... A question." Jaune said. At that moment, Weiss was launched.
"I hope she lands on her face." I said.
"So this, landing strategy thing. Are you dropping us off or something?" Jaune asked.
"No. You will be falling." Ozpin said. At this moment, some punk-looking dude was launched.
"Oh, I see. So, did you hand out parachutes for us?" He asked.
"Bruh!" Brandyn said, annoyed at Jaune's stupid question.
"You can't be dead ass." Brie said looking at Jaune.
At this, I breathe in amount of air, "Boi!" I started. "You are almost as dumb as Tsukune! If he handed out parachutes for us, you would've gotten one already!" I snapped. Nora got launched the instant after "already" escaped my mouth.
"No, you will be using your own landing strategy." He said, Ren being launched just after he finished.
"Ah. Yeah." Jaune said. Yang quickly winked at Ruby, then at Damion, before putting on a pair of sunglasses and getting launched. A split second after, Ruby was launched.
"Well, see you on the other side, guys." I said as I was launched. "TO THE EXTREME!" I shouted.
The rest of the fellow OCs, Sai, Damion, Nicolas, Serena, Selene, Brie and Brandyn were launched quickly, one after the other. Now finally only Jaune was left. "So what is a landing strategy-" He started before screaming as he was launched through the air.
