Yep, another chapter. I'll get to my other stories when I can, but for now, let's get some things straight.
We start off with a guy in green waking up to an orange haired girl saying… "Wake up, lazy bud!" She said excitingly. The guy could only groan since he knew what her morning routine was. "~It's morning, it's morning, it's morning, it's moooorning! ~" She sang. Of course the writer here is too lazy and would rather skip this funny scene.
Tai.K: Hey, Shut up!
MacKid: I'm just telling the truth.
Tai.K: *Sigh*
"I know! We'll have some sort of signal! Like a distress signal! A secret signal! Can you imitate a sloth?" The girl asked the boy. They were now in the locker room.
"Nora…" The boy said to her.
"Yes, Ren?" Nora asked him.
"I don't think sloths make that much noise." Ren stated as he hid his weapons in his sleeves.
"…That's why it's perfect! No one will suspect we're working together!" She said still excited.
"Come on Nora, let's go." Ren said as they walked by Ruby and Yang getting their weapons.
"Wonder what those two were so worked up about." Ruby said after seeing the overexcited girl.
"Who knows… So! You seem awfully chipper this morning. Get with Foxy yet?" Yang jokingly asked.
"Haha, funny. Still, no more awkward small talk or 'getting to know you' stuff. Today I get to let my sweetheart do the talking." Ruby said hugging her weapon, aka the scythe, aka Crescent Rose.
"Well, remember Ruby, you're not the only one going through initiation. You wanna grow up, then you're gonna have to meet new people and learn how to work together with them." Yang stated closing her locker.
"Ugh! You sound like dad! Firstly, what does meeting people have to do with fighting? Second, I don't need peps to help me grow, I drink milk." Ruby said crossing her arms.
"What about when we form teams?" Yang asked.
"Uhm, I don't know, I-I'll just be on your team or something…" Ruby said not knowing what to say.
"Well, maybe you should try being on someone else's team?" Yang suggested not helping.
"My dearest sister Yang, are you implying that you do not wish to be on the same team as me!?" Ruby asked trying to be tough.
"W-what!? Of course, I do, I just thought… I don't know, maybe it'll help you break out of your shell?" Yang said making matters worse.
"WHAT THE!? I DON'T NEED TO BREAK OUT OF MY SHELL, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY…" Ruby was saying till she got cut off.
"RIDICULOUS! There's no way I put my gear in locker 636! I would've remembered having to count that high!" Jaune shouted walking by.
"Dude, are saying you 'don't' want to be on my team!?" Tails shouted. The girls looked over and saw the brothers, thinking the same argument was going on.
"Come on, I didn't say that. You know I wouldn't say something like that." Sonic said holding his arms up in defense. Meanwhile…
"So, Pyrrha, have you given any thought to who's team you would like to be on?" Weiss asked a similar red-haired woman that had a ponytail. "After all, I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such a strong, well known individual such as yourself." She stated… were those two friends?
"Hmm… I'm not quite sure. I was planning on letting the chips fall where they may." Pyrrha stated thinking about who she might have on her team.
"Well, I was thinking maybe we could be on a team together." Weiss stated acting less… threatening.
"Well, that sounds grand." Pyrrha stated.
"Great!"-'This will be perfect! The smartest girl in class combined with the strongest girl in class. Together we will be unstoppable! I can see it now: We'll be popular, we'll be celebrities, we'll get perfect grades!' Weiss thought to herself evilly. (She's not evil but it still works.)
She was so focused on her stupid thoughts that she didn't notice she was in someone's way. "Ahem!" A familiar voice said catching her attention. She looked to where the voice was and saw the same black and red hedgehog who scared her before, the color drained from her body as soon as she made eye contact. "You're in front of my locker." Shadow said in a grouchy voice.
"Oh, sorry, sorry." Weiss said getting out of the way not wanting to be shot by the hedgehog Faunus.
"Shadow Hedgehog." Pyrrha greeted him after he opened his locker.
"Pyrrha Nikos." He greeted her back.
"Wait, you know him." Weiss asked confused as to how she knew him.
"Of course, we were the strongest in our school. I'd even go far as to say his strength is better than mine." Pyrrha stated as the ice queens fear turned into joy.
"Really?"-'Oh, this will be even better. The smartest girl with the two strongest students, no doubt will we be popular.' She thought evilly again. "Well, if we do make a team, I hope you'll join us Shadow." Weiss said hiding what she was really thinking.
"Yeah, whatever." Shadow said closing his locker walking off, he was still bitter towards her after what happened last night.
"Huh, not much of talker, huh?" She stated feeling bad about ruining his sleep.
"You know what else is great? Me, Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you." Jaune said popping in.
"You again?" Weiss said not liking that he was getting in the way.
"Nice to meet you, Jaune." Pyrrha immediately said greeting him.
"Yeah, yeah. So, Weiss. Couldn't help but overhear your fondness of me the other day." Jaune said walking in front of her again, not knowing that ice queen didn't mean her speech about him.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" Weiss said embarrassed thinking she should have kept her mouth shut.
"No need to be embarrassed. So, been hearin' rumors about teams! I was thinking you and me would make a good one. What do ya say?" Jaune asked trying to be romantic.
"Actually, I think the teams are comprised of four students each so…" Pyrrha was saying.
"You don't say. Well, hot-stuff, play your cards right and maybe you could join up with the wining team." Jaune said getting on Weiss' nerves.
"Jaune, is it? Do you have any idea who you're talking to?" She said getting in the way.
"Not in the slightest snow angel." Jaune said still not understanding.
"This is Pyrrha." Weiss stated.
"Hello, again." Pyrrha said greeting him.
"Pyrrha graduated top of her class at Sanctum." Weiss stated trying to sound smart.
"Never heard of it." He stated getting Weiss more ticked off.
"Deh? She's won the Mistral Regional Tournament four years in a row… a new record!" Weiss was saying. What she was saying still wasn't getting through as there was just awkward silence with cricket noises. "She's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box." She said in a low voice this time.
"*GASP*! That's you!? They only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters!" Jaune said as Weiss facepalmed herself seeing that mentioning a cereal box was the only thing that did any good.
"Yeah, it was pretty cool. Sadly, the cereal isn't very good for you." Pyrrha stated remembering how unhealthy the breakfast cereal was.
"So, after hearing all this, do you really think you're in a position to ask her to be on your team?" Weiss asked annoyed.
"Guess not… sorry." Jaune said, head down.
"Actually Jaune, I think you'd make a great leader." Pyrrha said cheering him up.
"D'oh, stop it!" Jaune stated.
"Seriously, please stop it. This kind of behavior should not be encouraged." Weiss said still annoyed.
"Sounds like Pyrrha's on board for team Jaune. Spots are filling up quick. Now, I'm not supposed to do this, but maybe I could…" Jaune was saying getting on ice queen's nerves.
"Ahem!" Weiss motioned Pyrrha to help.
For an answer, she threw her spear at him, catching him by the hood sending him flying at the wall.
"Sorry!" Pyrrha said over to him, feeling a little bad for him.
Then came on the intercom. "Will all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation?" Goodwitch spoke through it.
"It was nice meeting you." Pyrrha said pulling her spear out of the poor boy's hood.
"*Sigh* Likewise." Jaune said as it was not a good day for him.
"Having trouble, Ladykiller?" Yang asked as her and Ruby walked in front of him.
"I don't understand… My dad said all woman look for is confidence." Jaune said as Ruby helped him up.
"Well, 'Snow Angel' probably wasn't the best start." Yang stated knowing how Weiss was.
"Come on, Jaune. Let's go." Ruby said helping him to his locker.
Yang was on her way over to her destination until she saw the red Faunus that caught her attention last night, he was alone, she saw this as her chance and headed over to him at his locker. "Hey there, handsome." She said getting his attention.
"Sup." The knucklehead said making eye contact then closing his locker.
"So, I heard that teams have four each. Maybe you and I can... you know." She said in flirty tone.
"Eh, maybe. BTW the names Knuckles, not handsome." He stated pumping his fist as he started walking.
"Yang, I'll be lucky to have you on my team." She stated following him.
(At the cliff)
"For years, you have trained to become warriors. Today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin stated holding his mug.
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignments of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates… today." Goodwitch stated giving Sonic and Knuckles smirks, Tails a grin, and Ruby was just scared all together.
"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 with." Ozpin stated making Ruby more nervous, and Shadow just sighed after hearing what he said. "That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."
In Ruby's head, she imagined a picture of her freaked out getting shattered. "See? I told you!" Nora said to Ren.
"After you've got a partner, 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." Ozpin stated. That made Jaune laugh nervously and gulp, and now Tails was flipping out on the inside. "You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation. But our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one, then return to the top of this cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Any questions?" Ozpin asked after all that talk. Jaune raised his hand but was ignored. "Good! Now, take your positions." He said as everyone got into a pose ready to be launched.
Weiss was the first to be launched in the air, the second was Sonic who winked at Tails before being launched. Tails was the next to go, then after two more kids, Blake was sent into the air, one more then came Knuckles. Nora was launched, then Shadow, then Ren. After that, Yang winked at Ruby putting on sunglasses as she was shot into the air. Then Ruby, then Jaune was the last.
Ruby went flying into a crow using her gun shots then her scythe to swing onto a branch. Sonic was hopping around the trees doing summersaults while yelling 'WOOOHOOO!' using his ring rope to swing around one before landing. Weiss created a winter booster to bounce on. Ren used his fire arms' sharp parts to fly down a tree. Shadow was using his air shoes in order for him to go extra far before jumping branch to branch. Tails used his cannon to blast him far, then used his boxing glove arm from his hidden backpack to swing down a tree. Looking up, Yang was having a blast, using her shotgun gauntlets to go far before jumping tree to tree, then summersaulting to the ground. Pyrrha landed on a branch then got her shotgun ready, when she saw Jaune flying through the air, she turned it into a spear throwing it, hoping she didn't miss.
Meanwhile, Ruby was running through the forest looking for her sister, yelling her name. 'Ugh this is bad, this is really bad! Okay, let me think. Who else I can team with? There's always Jaune… nice, funny, don't think he's good in a fight though… Blake, so mysterious, so calm, and she likes books! Then again I don't think I'll have a full conversation with her.' Ruby thought to herself thinking of her choices. 'Okay, who else? Yang, Jaune, Blake, We… maybe not… but maybe I could…' She was snapped from her thoughts as she was about to run into someone forcing herself to stop. She looked up, her eyes connecting with someone she would not doubt love to have on her team.
"Hey, Ruby." Tails said as their eyes made contact.
"Tails. Great to see you again." She greeted him standing up straight.
"Guess the awkward duo is together again, huh?" Tails asked making her giggle.
Meanwhile with Weiss… 'Okay, just stay calm. The worst that could happen is you run into one of the stupid girls from before… but the best part, I have a chance to get on a team with Pyrrha so, it's not too ba…' She thought to herself bumping into someone without looking. She looked up making eye contact with the black hedgehog. They just stared at each other for a few seconds before Shadow turned and walked off. "Oh, wa-wa… *sigh*." She said still feeling bad about last time.
Shadow wasn't halfway far from her when he heard the grunting of Jaune, he didn't look up but he knew he was there. "Uh, hi." He said greeting the hedgehog. He just turned and walked back to Weiss.
"By no means am I okay with this." Shadow said grabbing her by the coat and dragging her along.
"YAY!" Weiss cheered not caring what Shadow just said as they both ignored Jaune calling to them for help. It was only a few seconds later until… "Wait up! I know we're in a hurry, but come on. We're supposed to be a team." Weiss was already complaining, Shadow didn't answer her and just kept walking. "Look, if you want me to say I'm sorry for before, I'm sorry okay. Feel better?" She asked him. Her words seem to get to him as he stopped, but not to accept her apology.
"…Look, just keep up, keep quiet and stay out of the way." Shadow scoffed staring at her for a few seconds before walking off.
"I said I was sorry." Weiss said getting annoyed at his anger.
"So, have any clue where to go?" Ruby asked since she and her partner were basically lost in a forest.
"Don't worry, I'm sure there's something that we can find to lead us there. Let's try to find a hint, like a breadcrumb or something." Tails stated confusing Ruby as she didn't get his metaphor.
"What's a breadcrumb got to do with this?" She asked not understanding what he meant.
"It's a metaphor, Ruby. Hmm…" Tails said as they stopped in order for him to think, after a few seconds he snapped his fingers. "I'll locate the temple from above." He said as he twisted his two tails around each other before spinning them like helicopter blades taking him up into the air.
"Whoa! You can do that!?" Ruby shouted amazed at how her partner can fly.
"Well, yeah. It's natural when you're born with two tails." Tails explained as he flew above the trees.
"Hhhhh*gasp*hhh, so cool!" Ruby shouted with glee.
Tails looked around for a few seconds, he didn't really see much of anything, but he did catch Jaune walking with Pyrrha. He guessed they were teammates. He kept looking around, until he found their destination. Once he did, it was time for him to descend.
"I know where to go. Follow me." Tails said as him and Ruby started running.
"Wait, Tails, what's the hurry!" Ruby asked wondering why they were running to get the relics instead of just walking normally.
"Well, if I know my brother he's probably going to be there before us. We should catch up with him, that is unless you can keep up." Tails said making it sound like he was challenging Ruby to a race. Only for her to appear in front of him in an instant. "DAHA! What?" He said startled.
"Challenge accepted." She said as she ran off into the forest.
"What? Wait! Ruby, I didn't mean… aw crap." Tails said as he had already lost his teammate. He went in the direction of where she went, but as he kept walking he would hear rustling of leaves along the way which was getting him freaked out. "Ruby!" He called out to her… no response. "Ruby! Where are you!?" He called out again, still no one answered
More leaves kept rustling and the fox boy was getting more scared by the moment, it didn't take long before his fear was sensed by Grim as their red eyes popped out of the bushes, each and every one of them. Then a Beowolf's growl was heard, Tails turned around slowly. Not to fair was Beowolf, roaring at its prey.
