Chapter 5: Proving Your Worth
Marcus: lets bring some more people to the party
As he said that, Coco Adel and Velvet Scarlatina of Team CFVY appear seated
Coco: what the hell?
Velvet: w..whats going on?
After a long explanation of why everyone was there and a summary of the events that happened beforehand, they seemed to get the gist of it
Coco: so..basically we're watching a movie?
Marcus: pretty much, yeah..
Coco: cool..
Everyone then settles down and the screen un-pauses itself
'Initiation Day'
'Time: 7:30am'
I begin to groggily wake up from my slumber, as i open my eyes i see that a majority of the students were up and dressed, ready for initiation.. So i stretch my arms and i get up on my feet, i head to the cafeteria to grab myself a quick breakfast before i went to go grab my weapons from my locker, i had a bacon roll and a can of orange soda and it was quite nice actually..
Yang: wow, someone who actually likes the cafeteria food..?
Weiss: i think he may have something wrong with his taste buds..
Sun: yeah.. thats just weird..
i finish my breakfast and i head towards my locker, i found it and i typed in the code for it, the door opened and i saw something strange, besides my normal katanas and my dagger there was a bow with a quiver full of normal arrows and what look like explosive arrows, the bows design intrigued me however, it was made of wood and a string but it was painted jet black and had dark blue tribal markings on it and the string was blue too, there was a note attached to it; it read: "I noticed that you were severely lacking in any form of ranged capabilities, so i decided to do something about that, i hope you like my present to you.."
Ren: i wonder who would of wrote that note
Pyrrha: well it could have the been that spirit, maybe shes watching him somehow
Glynda: it is a possibility..
That seemed to be the best explanation that they had for this mystery
I fastened the quiver onto my back and slung the bow over my shoulder, i tied my katanas and my dagger to my rope belt, i heard Weiss talking to a red-headed girl, so i decided to eavesdrop, she looked like an ancient warrior or something, she wore a set of bronze armor with a matching circlet around her head and a red sash around her waist
Weiss: So, Pyrrha, have you given any thought to whose team you'd like to be on? I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such a strong, well-known individual such as yourself!
My Thoughts: naahhhh, Weiss is over here scheming!
Pyrrha: Hmm... I'm not quite sure. I was planning on letting the chips fall where they may
Weiss: Well... I was thinking maybe we could be on a team together
Pyrrha: Well, that sounds grand!
Weiss: Great!
My Thoughts: wait..oh piss! i forgot about teams!
Qrow: thats something, the numbers of initiates will be odd so the kid might not even get to be in a team..
Ozpin: there could be a way around this problem..
And then..Jaune..comes in between them both
Jaune: You know what else is great? Me. Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you
My Thoughts: oh god he's really going for it..
Jaune shuffled in seat, nervously
Weiss: You again?
Pyrrha: Nice to meet you, Jaune!
Jaune: Yeah, yeah..
He then pushes Pyrrha aside, like a dumbass..
Jaune: So, Weiss, couldn't help but overhear your fondness of me the other day
Weiss: Oh, you'vegot to be kidding me!
Jaune: 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! What do you say?
Pyrrha: Actually, I think the teams are comprised of four students each, so-
Jaune: You don't say. Well, hot stuff, play your cards right and maybe you could join up with the winning team
My Thoughts: and now he's trying to go for a 'two-on-one'.. fuckin' idiot...
Yang: yeah thats usually a pretty bad idea..
Weiss: Jaune, is it? Do you have any idea who you're talking to?
Jaune: Not in the slightest, snow angel
Weiss: This is Pyrrha
Pyrrha: Hello again!
Weiss: Pyrrha graduated top of her class at Sanctum!
Jaune: Never heard of it
Weiss: She's won the Mistral Region Tournaments four years in a row! A new record!
Jaune: The what?
Weiss: She's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box!
Jaune: That's you!? But they only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters!
My Thoughts: thats what recognises her from!? oh god, im losing brain cells now..
Pyrrha: Yeah, it was pretty cool. Sadly, the cereal isn't very good for you.
Weiss: So, after hearing all of this, do you really think you're in a position to ask her to be on your team?
Jaune: I guess not... Sorry...
Pyrrha: Actually, Jaune, I think you'd make a great leader!
My Thoughts: its her lose i guess..
Pyrrha frowned at Ethers disapproval of Jaune, he wanted him to give Jaune a chance
Weiss: Seriously, please stop it. This kind of behavior should not be encouraged!
Jaune: 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 pull some strings, find a place for you. What do you say?
Weiss: All right, that's a bit too close! Pyrrha, a little help, please?!
Pyrrha then throws her spear at Jaune, pinning him to one of the lockers
Pyrrha: im sorry!
My Thoughts: i guess she really.. 'spear-headed' his downfall..
Taiyang and Yang both laugh at the bad pun as groans were heard from everyone else
She walks up and pulls her spear out of the locker and Jaune flops onto the floor
Pyrrha: It was nice meeting you!
Jaune: Likewise...
Ruby and Yang started walking up to us
Yang: Having some trouble there, lady-killer?
He takes Rubys hand and pulls himself up from the floor
Jaune: I don't understand. My dad said all women look for is confidence! Where did I go wrong?
Me: 'Snow Angel' was probably the worst attempt at flirting i've ever heard..
Ruby: come on, Jaune..
10 minutes after heading to cliffs, we arrive there and we stood on metal pads on the ground as Ozpin gave us the run down of what we needed to do
Ozpin: Ozpin: For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest..
Glynda: 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: What? Ohhh...
Ozpin: 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..
Ruby then groans
Ozpin: That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years..
Ruby and I: WHAT!?
Ozpin: After you've partnered up, 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..
My Thoughts: at least he's straight to the point..
Ozpin: You will be monitored and graded through 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 and return to the top of the cliff. We will reguard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?
Jaune: Yeah, um, sir?
Ozpin:Good! Now, take your positions..
Everyone then strikes a pose as do i.. then everyone starts being launched into the sky
Me: lets do this!
Yang: alright! time for some action!
Ruby: yeah!
Blake: now we can see what he can really do
Ozpin: indeed..
I get launched high up into the air and i started to glide across the sky
My Thoughts: ok! ok! what to fuckin' do!...alright i got it!
i wield my bow and i shoot a few arrows into some trees, which decended in levels of height as i jumped from each of the arrows, pulling off some aerial acrobatics, i back-flipped off of the last arrow and smoothly on my feet..
Nora: and he sticks the landing!
Yang: sweet flip bro!
Glynda: good quick thinking on Mr Azures part
I sling my bow back over my shoulder and started walking in the direction of the temple, after some time, my ears picks up the sounds growling as i turn to face a pack of Beowolves, 5 of them at the most, before either one of us made a move on one another, i could feel my body flaring up as my hands and feet erupt with blue flames surrounding them with a similar thing coming from my eyes, i felt alot lighter then before as i look back at the Beowolves
Me: you wanna play, bitch?! its fine by me!
After i had said that, i blaze forward in a burst of speed and i strike one of the Beowolves head, pretty much blowing it up instantly, i leave no time for repreive as i shoot two large blue fireballs at another two of them, tearing a huge through their chests, another one charges me as i unsheathe one of my katanas and i surge towards it, slicing its legs clean off in one swift slash and stabbing its throat to finish it off, i then rush the last Beowolf grabbing it, leaping into the air and slamming its head into the ground, squashing it like a watermelon..
Nora: THAT! WAS! AWESOME!
Yang: that was so fucking cool!!
Raven: it appears that i may have been wrong about this kid, he is very strong indeed..
Blake: it was bloody, but impressive..
I revert back to normal as i stop to catch my breathe for a moment
My Thoughts: i guess i just discovered my semblance, blue pyrokinesis, it seems i can use it in many different ways too..which is cool.. now i need to pick up the pace..
I started walking for a bit until i heard the signs of someone fighting nearby, i look through a bush to see Yang fighting a few Ursas, her weapons were gauntlets that happened to be shotguns too, she straight up going beast mode on one of the Ursas, literally punching the shit out of it and sending it flying through a line of trees, i then notice another one collapse onto its stomach, only to reveal a katana\pistol\kusurigama combo weapon with its owner being a certain raven-haired girl named Blake, i then see the last Ursa try to make a move on her, so i dash forward slicing it in half with both of my blades with ease and i sheathe them afterwoods
Yang: i could have taken them
Me: well i can't let you have all the fun to yourself Yang! can i?
Yang: it would seem that you're being greedy, Hotshot!
Me: oh, hardly!
Blake: Ahem!
i turn to face her, to which i managed not to blush when i saw eyes again
Blake: i dont believe we've met..
Me: s.. sorry about that..i..im Ether Azure..
Yang: haha! he's actually stuttering!~
Kali: oh my gosh! he's so love-struck and adorable!~
Ghira: the poor boy is lost for words!
Everyone started chuckling and giggling, all the while, Blake is just sat there; blushing profusely
Blake: Blake Belladonna..
My Thoughts: wait..as in 'pretty woman' or the nice-looking plant that can kill you..?
Me: n..nice name..
Blake then sends a playful smirk my way
Blake: Thanks..
Me: you're welcome..
Yang: hey! if you two are done flirting with each other, can we get moving now?
My Thoughts: oh fuck you Yang!
Blake: shes right, we should get going..
Me: o..of course..
The three of us started heading out, after 5 minutes we were directed towards a ridge that was in front of us, which had a view of the ruins we needed to go to..
Yang: Think this is it?
Me: well its not like theres any other abandoned ruins out here is there?
Yang: not need to be sarcastic, Blue Boy
I ignore her as we walk to ruins to grab one of the relics and Blake grabs one of them
Blake: chess pieces?
Yang: Some of them are missing, Looks like we weren't the first ones here
Blake: Well, I guess we should pick one
After a couple of minutes we decided on what pieces to grab as Yang took a white knight piece
Yang: how about a cute little pony?
Blake smirked at her future partner
Blake: sure..
She picked up the same piece as Yang and i chose the white pawn piece
Ozpin: hmmm..the pawn..? interesting..
Yang: hey Ether, why did you pick the pawn?
Me: ...Personal reasons, Blondie..ill tell you once i get to know you better..
Yang: ummm ok sure.. well that wasn't too hard!
Blake: Well, it's not like this place is very difficult to find..
Suddenly, a scream could be heard from afar
Yang: Some girl's in trouble! guys, did you hear that?
Me: sure as hell did..
Yang: what should we do?
Meanwhile, Blake was looking and pointing up at the sky as we look up to see Ruby falling from the sky
Ruby: heeeeaads uuuuupp!
The screen then pauses once again
Marcus: sorry to leave things on a cliffhanger guys..
Ruby: it's ok, at least we saw Ether discover his semblance!
