(Ramer POV)
-BeepBeep BeepBeep-
Ramer's scroll rang as he slowly opened up his eyes. Pressing a button on his scroll, the alarm stopped.
Lazily getting up, he stretched his arms as he yawned loudly. Standing up, he kicked the sleeping Silver's head.
"OOOWW! WHAT THE HELL!?" screamed Silver as he clutched his head, a bruise forming on his forehead. Glaring up at Ramer, he got up to his feet.
"You suck!" he pouted with a betrayed expression.
"I know." Ramer replied with an amused smirk adorning his face. Checking the time, he grabbed Silver by the collar and dragged him to the bathroom.
"C'mon, we need to get ready for the test." said Ramer as he dragged the sulking Silver across the floor.
Making their way into the men's bathroom, they paused in confusion as they saw a strange sight.
A girl inside the men's bathroom...Pestering a teenage boy with a streak of purple hair. But that part wasn't important. There was a girl, inside the men's bathroom.
Silence reigned as the 2 boys stared at the sight in front of them.
Ramer eventually got over it, and walked over to the counter. Taking out his toothbrush, he applied his toothpaste to it and held it under the running stream. Switching off the tap, he got to brushing his teeth.
When he turned to look at Silver, he saw that he was slowly creeping out, most likely to get back to his sleeping bag and fall asleep. Uncapping his toothpaste, he took the lid and flicked it at the back of Silver's head.
The lid then proceeded to painfully bounce off of his head as SIlver fell to the ground clutching his head in pain once again.
"OW! HOW ON REMNANT DOES A TOOTHPASTE CAP HURT THAT MUCH!?" shouted the annoyed and pained Silver as he glared once more at Ramer.
Ramer smiled as he said. "Magic."
"You mean logic?" Silver questioned as he continued to rub his head.
"No, I used my semblance." Ramer nonchalantly told Silver the truth with a shrug.
"Wait…Do you mean you sent a small object... at the speed of a bullet…at my head?" Silver seemed to be implying something but Ramer said it anyway.
"Yep." was all Ramer casually said as he checked his fingernails.
"WHY DID IT NOT CROSS YOUR MIND, THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE KILLED ME!" Silver shouted in a rage.
"YOUR AURA WOULD HAVE PROTECTED YOU, IDIOT!" Raimer shouted back at Silver.
"I'M SMARTER THAN YOU!" Silver retorted but Ramer already expected this.
"I PROGRAM BETTER THAN YOU!" Ramer blasted back nothing but facts.
"I DO MATH BETTER THAN YOU!" Silver had ran out of things to say and started saying whatever came up in his mind.
"THAT'S BESIDE THE GODDAMN POINT!" Raimer exclaimed at the top of his lungs.
"...Damnit! You beat me this time, but next time you won't be so lucky!" pouted Silver as he admitted defeat.
"...What on Remnant happened here?" asked a familiar voice. Both friends turned to stare at the orange/red pajama-clad figure at the door.
(Krimsun POV)
Leo had walked through the door to find 2 of the friends he met arguing about something.
Confused, Leo inquired "...What on Remanent happened here?"
"Stuff." Both said simultaneously and Leo shrugged.
"Well anyway you guys should hurry up. We do have an initiation to do, y'know." Leo said as he promptly jumped into the shower.
Afterwards, he changed into his combat attire, which was missing his loose combat belt, armour and weapon, and finished his morning routine. Silver and Ramer had already walked down to the mess hall.
Walking down to the mess hall, Leo spotted Ruby and the rest of the gang on a table, waving.
Grabbing a plate of pancakes he walked over to them. Only to notice the same girl, that was in the men's bathroom had just eaten a maple syrup-covered pancake like it was liquid.
Ignoring that, Leo sat down opposite of Ruby, who instead of pancakes had a mountain of cookies stacked so high he could not see her face.
"So anyone know what we're doing in the initiation?" Silver had gone back to topic once Leo settled down.
"I don't know, maybe we do some test and get put into teams?" Yang replied while she put a piece of pancake in her mouth.
"Possibly. Well, who knows? Besides the staff of course," Ramer spoke out.
"Mhmze wi chozse oar taimmats?" No-one understood what Ruby was saying as she stuffed her mouth full with cookies, cheeks bulging like a squirrel with its nuts.
"Ruby. Swallow before talking," Leo told the adorable reaper.
"Sorry. I said maybe we choose our teammates." Ruby repeated herself after she swallowed the many plates of cookies in her mouth.
"Does eating with your mouth full run in the family?" Leo inquired as he looked at Yang and Ruby.
Ruby and Yang looked at each other briefly and nodded.
"Well I highly doubt they would be so lenient as to let us choose." Ramer said as the voice of reason.
"Indeed. Such a thing would be rather biased." the boy, who was still being bugged by the orange haired girl, sagely agreed, as he stroked his non-existent beard.
"Ooh! I know Ren! Maybe we have to get launched off a cliff and the first person we see is our teammate!" Exclaimed the girl who was bugging the now named Ren.
Nobody had anything to say to that.
"Nora...Eat your pancakes." Ren commanded her. Smiling with glee, Nora stabbed a huge mountain of pancakes and proceeded to shovel it all into her mouth. Swallowing, the stack of syrup-laden goodness disappeared into the black hole that was Nora's stomach. Sighing in bliss, the pancake-loving hammer wielder stabbed at another stack of pancakes and repeated the process with much gusto.
"Well...that's a thing," Silver commented, eyes wide at the crazy amounts of food that the table's more...interesting...occupants could fit in their stomachs. Leo and Ramer could only nod in agreement, too surprised to formulate any words.
Leo simply shook his head in confusion, before he heard someone clear their throat. Looking towards the noise, he saw a white haired man with red eyes staring back at him, tray of food in hand.
"...May I sit here?" asked the young man in a quiet, monotone voice.
(Bloodraven POV)
Waiting for the black-haired teenager to answer, Bloodraven lamented on the events that lead to him having to sit with these people.
Although he and Mandeline had woken up early, they had spent a better part of their time going over their equipment, making sure nothing was out of place or missing.
By then, many of the other students had already made their way to the cafeteria. And so, here he was, a tray of pancakes, with enough syrup that the plate was about to overflow, in one hand, cup of black coffee in the other, asking this person whether he could sit here, as all the other tables were filled.
When the red-clad warrior finally nodded his head in affirmation, Bloodraven sat down beside the silver-themed student. The conversation that the people were having died out as they stared at the emotionless soldier.
"Soo...who might you be?" asked the silver-eyed girl, nervously. Judging from her looks, Bloodraven estimated her to be about 2 years younger than he was. Curious.
Ignoring her question, he simply sliced off a bit of his pancake and ate it, indulging in it's exotic, sweet taste.
"Erm, hello? Remnant to wierdo, come in wierdo. My sister asked you a question." said the blonde-haired girl, in an annoyed way which gave off a feeling of 'say something or i will break your legs.'
"...Bloodraven…Bloodraven Corvus..." he replied quietly, almost whispering.
"Well...that seems like a rather morbid name." Commented the blue-eyed boy that sat next to the silver-clad one.
"Oh, I hadn't noticed! It totally wasn't morbid at all!" snarked Bloodraven's silver-themed neighbour. The white-haired assassin ignored them in favour of sipping at his favourite hot beverage, enjoying its refreshing bitter taste that washed down the sweet maple syrup.
"Well, I'm Ruby. Ruby Rose." the hooded girl introduced herself.
"That's Leo (Krimsun), Silver, Ramer, Yang, Nora, Ren, and… Jaune." she continued to introduce the rest of the students. Ignoring Jaune's slightly displeased attitude.
"So Mr. Grumpy Pants, what do you think we will have to do in Initiation?" asked the blonde-haired woman, Yang.
Taking a few seconds to figure out she was talking to him, Bloodraven replied in his signature emotion-dead voice. "The most likely scenario is getting launched into Emerald forest via Beacon's launch pads on the cliffs. The objective is to either collect an item, make it to a certain location and hold out there, or eliminate certain targets. Teams will most likely be either assigned before the test, or made during it."
After saying that Bloodraven sucked in precious oxygen, and took a deep, long sip of coffee.
"Wow... Nora might actually have been right..." Leo said, deadpanned as the rest of them (except for Nora and Bloodraven) sweatdropped.
As everybody walked to the locker area to get their armour and weapons, Bloodraven saw Yang and Ruby quarreling while Leo tried to calm them down, and Jaune attempting to hit on Weiss Schnee, the girl he was ordered to protect, as well as the famous and supposedly 'invincible' Pyrrha Nikos next to her.
Bloodraven didn't say a thing until the announcement came for them to make their way to the cliffs.
As they got there, they were instructed to stand on the grey pads that were placed at the cliff's edge. Bloodraven and the others stood and waited for a few minutes, until Ozpin came.
"For years you have trained to become warriors, and today your abilities will be tested in the emerald forest."
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumours about the assignment of teams…" Glynda said while tapping away at a scroll. "Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates… today," she continued.
"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 paused to sip a bit of his coffee. "That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next 4 years."
A loud "What!?" Could be heard from somewhere down the line, from the familiar 15 year old he was talking to earlier, Ruby.
"After you partner 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." Ozpin needlessly warned us. However some students became nervous which caused Bloodraven to raise an eyebrow in confusion. 'These people are meant to be the warriors of humanity, meant to die to protect the innocent, and yet they are scared of a few Grimm? Pathetic.' he thought.
"You will be graded for the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. you will find an abandoned temple at the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose 1 and return to the top of the cliff. We will guard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?" Prof. Ozpin laid down the ground rules while ignoring Jaune completely.
"Good now take your positions." Ozpin gave us our mark as people started launching off the cliff.
As the person beside him was launched into the air, the red-eyed archer unsheathed Blutsturm and brought down his hood, which caused his mask that was inside the hood to collapse onto his face, before being launched. Sailing through the air, Krieg ran multiple simulations and found the most likely way of surviving.
Adjusting his body's position, he increased his velocity, just as he crashed through the canopy of the forest, his body dissolved into the shadows.
20 meters away, on a large branch, black mists, crackling with black lightning rose out from the shadows as it condensed, shaped and became the physical form of Bloodraven.
Blutsturm, as a bow, in hand, he scanned the area for any hostile threats. Finding none, he had Krieg pull up a digital minimap on the bottom left of his HUD. Activating his Nightingale beacon, he saw a marker that showed the location of Mandeline. Sending a message to her, they decided that they would rendezvous in a clearing 1km away.
(Silver POV)
Being launched into the air, Silver looked around to formulate a landing strategy. Looking over to a tall tree, much taller that then the surrounding trees, he grabbed his weapon, E.S.P.R, Electric Shuriken Plasma Rifle, and changed it into a serpent sword.
The blade's interlocking parts separated, connected and formed a whip blade. Using careful timing, he wrapped the whip around a large branch and tried to swing around onto the ground.
However, the serpent sword cut through the branch and sent Silver flying into the canopy below. Bracing for impact, he dived through the canopy. He set his feet forward to land on the large branch, but he hit something else.
(Krimsun POV)
"Ruby calm down and think about it, even if you do join Yang's team you're going to be with random people" Leo tried to calm down the red reaper.
"Then I'll get you, Silver and/or Ramer to join too." Ruby protested.
"Would all first year student please report to beacon cliff for initiation." Glynda's voice came out of the many speakers in the room, calling everyone to go to the initiations starting area.
"Well, looks like it time to get going. Let's go find the rest of the gang." Leo turned around to find Jaune, stuck to a wall with a javelin. He was unharmed, but he couldn't move.
Weiss walked past him, ignoring him. A red-haired girl walked past Jaune and took the spear back, saying "It was nice meeting you."
"Likewise." Jaune sighed as he slouched to the ground. Leo, Ruby and Yang walked up to help him out.w
"Having some trouble there, Ladykiller?" Yang mocked as Leo and Ruby helped him up.
"I don't understand, my dad said that all women look for is confidence..." Jaune complained before continuing, "Where did I go all wrong?"
" 'Snow Angel' " probably wasn't the best start." Yang mocked at Jaune, but he payed little attention.
"Come on, Jaune, let's go." Ruby said as she and Leo carried Jaune to the cliff.
"Maybe next time don't be so forceful." Leo gave him some advice as Jaune let go and started walking by himself.
Reaching the cliff everyone waited as Ozpin explained the initiation test, which was to team up with the first person you see, get an artifact north of here, and come back and hold out here.
Leo formulated what to do in his head as the person next to him, Bloodraven, was launched.
Quickly getting ready, Leo activated his semblance and gauntlets before he got launched into the sky.
Collecting all the heat he could from his surrounding, which caused some of it to freeze, his hands glowed a red hot as he waited for the right timing before…Boom.
He lets out a giant burst of flames which caused fly for a little longer. Soaring, he saw Ramer below him, riding a large black disk. Leo launched himself to the ground with a burst of heat, but forgot to break. Plunging into the ground, he sent chunks of dirt everywhere.
(Ramer POV)
Ramer was traveling using Argen luma as a hoverboard. But off in the distance, he heard a loud explosion. Instinctively stopping, he used his other Argen Luma as a shield.
Large chunks of earth from the impact of something hitting the ground flew in all directions. Looking past his weapon he saw Leo, of all people, lying on the ground.
Sighing, Ramer replied with concern, "You ok?"
As Leo got up he replied to the purple-cloaked 16 year old. "Yeah, I'm fine… I think… so I guess we are now partners."
Ramer nodded in affirmation. At least he didn't need to listen to Silver's unending stream of sarcasm. He pitied whoever gets partnered up with him.
The pair walked north, or what they presumed was north, towards their destination.
(Bloodraven POV)
Walking down the tree branch he heard the canopy rustling behind. Seeing a blip on his motion tracker, he was about to turn around when something hit him.
Bloodraven felt a concussive force hit the back of his head. Before he fell unconscious, he punched his hand towards the shadows, and a fist of condensed darkness flew behind him and hit something.
The last words he heard before falling unconscious was, "Right in nuts!" from a familiar voice that sounded as if he was dying.
Thud
They both hit the ground unconscious
(Mandeline POV)
Looking at the top left of her screen she saw the name, Spectre Corvus, turn grey from it's original blue color.
"Senpai is unconcious!? I must go save him! I'm coming onii-chan!" Mandeline started running towards Bloodraven's position before…
"Oof!" she ran into a dome of ice. Falling down, she blinked in confusion at the strange thing. It was slightly translucent, and she could see a male figure inside. Seconds later, the dome cracked, splintered, and shattered, the shards disappearing into thin air. Inside, was a white-clad, brown haired student, wielding a giant cannon.
And then they made eye-contact.
Mandeline was furious. Now, she was to be paired up with this random stranger instead of her onii-chan. Glaring at him within her mind, she thought of the many ways and tools she could use to slowly kill him.
While thinking of the multitude of sadistic things to do to the boy, she completely forgot about her brother that was currently unconscious.
(Silver POV)
Waking up, the first thing he thought was 'What happened?' the second thing he thought was 'PAIIIIIIIINNN!'
Rolling around like dog while clutching his aching family jewels, he slowly opened his eyes to see his offender clutching the back of his head and slowly rising up. Noticing the familiar cloak and mask, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Bloodraven?" he asked. The masked enigma turned around and stared at him with his mask's glowing red eyes burrowing into his own. "Well, looks like we are partners now, heh." Silver chuckled awkwardly.
Bloodraven got up to his feet and said to him. "Best get moving...partner."
Jumping down, Bloodraven landed with a roll and started walking towards the temple.
"Wait up!" shouted Silver.
(Ramer POV)
Leo and Ramer were walking towards their destination in silence, wary of any grimm that was close to them, listening for any hint of life that was not their own.
Finally breaking the silence Leo spoke out. "So what does that cloak do?" Leo asked about Ramer interesting choice of clothing.
"Well, it makes illusion of me ever 5 steps, see look." activating the cloak, Ramer started walking and holograms of Ramer started to appear.
"Oh, cool and how about your weapons?" Leo looked at Ramer with admiration but with no interest. asking for something he was more interested in.
"Um...well, they're bracelets that turn into these." Activating his Argen luma, which was in bracelet form, and it mech shifts into it razor form.
Clearly interested, Leo looked at the very high quality and expensive carbon graphene blades and smooth, intricate purple metal body.
"It can also-" Ramer was interrupted by 2 Beowolves coming out of a nearby bush.
"Perfect timing. It's easier if I show you." he said as he tossed a dust crystal into Argen Luma's blades. Ramer pointed the flat side towards a Beowolf and a shotgun blast of dust shards pierced its head, instantly killing the beast as bits of bone and brain flew out.
Quickly turning to the other he throw Argen Luma at the other Beowolf slicing it clean in half.
"Cool!" Leo shouted with his eyes sparkling
He was interrupted by a roar, followed by Silver and Bloodraven sprinting out of the dense forest.
"Hey guys- OH GOD!" Leo greeted them, but was petrified after seeing the grimm chasing after the duo. Not just any grimm, it was a freaking Goliath, crashing through the trees right towards them.
"GOD, RUN!" Ramer screamed as loud as he can before get on an Argen Luma to get away from the monster.
As everyone was running as fast as they from the raging elephant grimm, Leo shouted out the question that was in all of their minds. "HOW THE HELL DID YOU GUYS GET INTO THIS MESS!?"
