The feelings going through everyone's heads as they were launched, were usually calm and cool. Some excited.

Sean was a rare individual at Beacon that laughed like a little child. His eye blazed like a bonfire. He grabbed Hades, and fire a shot directly behind him. The rail shot him forward even faster, resulting in him laughing even more.

The bullet had barely missed Carmine's head. He saw as that crazy bastard pointed behind him and fired. Carmine knew he wasn't the target, but still, that guy was reckless.

Carmine grabbed Extortion, and pointed it towards the fastly approaching ground. The molotov hit forest floor, causing a gust of wind to lessen his fall enough to where it didn't hurt. He used his semblance to extinguish the flames, and he took a deep breath.

"Now, where do I find my partner?" he said, turning Extortion back into a bat. He brushed his suit off, and walked north.

Olivine grabbed a passing by branch, and spun to a standing position on the branch.

She pulled red Robin out their sheaths, and looked around.

"No Grimm," she reported, and began running through the trees. She aimed North.

Amber saw the ground quickly approaching, and used her semblance to make a quick dash forward. The resulted in a loss in acceleration, but forced her body to get really dazed. Her aura prevented damage and pain, but gravity was a bitch, and didn't like being cheated.

She reclaimed her composure. Amber released her blades, then retracted them. She sighed with relief.

"Lets go boys," she said to her blades.

Sean was laughing as he crashed into the ground.

What was odd with his aura was that it protected him through the majority of life threatening falls and hits. Punch him though, and he fells the pain. Jump off a cliff and fire Hades strait into the air to get down faster, perfectly fine. very unexplainable.

Sean dusted off his shirt. his laughter was subsiding when he noticed nothing around him.

He put his hands around his mouth. "Anybody there?!" he shouted.

A rustle in the bushes was his answer.

Sean aimed Hades at the bush. A growl followed.

Two Beowolves walked forward, carefully watching the new threat.

She smiled. "Oh, you shouldn't have answered."

Carmine kicked the Boarbatusk back, and turned Extortion into its tommy-gun form. The bullets flew. Useing the wind, he managed to land all shots into the Grimm.

The Boarbatusk slumped forward, and began to vanish.

The reverted Extortion back to a bat, andslammed the next Boarbatusk right in the face, sending it through one of the neighboring threes.

He saw the Grimm vanish, and turned back toward the direction he was heading. He began walking North.

It was then that the bullet whistled right by him. This time, it was three feet away, but when it hit the ground, the impact sent him flying back a couple feet.

"What the hell?" he shouted after the boom.

He turned, and saw three trees fall. He knew where he wasn't walking, and changed directions, heading South.

Olivine formed her arrow, and fired.

The shaft of shadows when strait through the two Beowolves, and both fell to the ground, vanishing.

Olivine smiled, and turned toward the boom. "Theres someone."

She jumped back into the tress, and began jumping from branch to branch.

Another boom. That weapon sure is noisy.

Amber ignored the sound barrier breaking, and stabbed the last Ursa in the throat.

It went limp, and began to fade.

She sighed as another boom went off.

"That guy needs to learn stealth and control. She pointed her right hand at an approaching Beowolve, and fired. The Grimm fell back, and Amber reloaded rounds into Remus.

Sean looked up just in time to see the Ursa creeping up.

Sean's smile of glee turned to a smile of both anger and glee. He aimed, and fired. The Ursa turned its head, but the bullet caught on its color, and tore through the Grimm with a terrifying ripping sound.

Sean turned again, only a for a Death stalker to be charging at him. Using his instincts, he grabbed its stinger, and held on to as he charged his next shot.

He pointed Hades down and prepared to fire.

The Deathstalker swung its tail, senceing danger, and caused Sean's shot to miss, and fire him off to the north.

Olivine looked up, and saw a laughing guy flying strait at her. She knew enough to get out of the way. And based on his speed. She needed to move fast.

She dodged, and Sean hit like a torpedo.

When the dust settle, Olivine looked in the crater to see Sean laying on his back, laughing.

"Are you okay?"Olivine asked.

Sean calmed down a bit. "Just fine."

They locked eyes.

Olivine blushed. "So... No partner yet?"

"Not true," he replied, standing up.

"Damn," Olivine commented.

Sean ruffled her hair. "You ready to go partner?"

Silence followed that. Olivine blushed, and began to hit Sean's chest. "You big jerk!"

Sean laughed, and began walking to the west.

"Where you going?"she asked.

"To adventure!"he shouted, grabbing her hand. "Hold on tight little lady!" he shouted, pointing Hades behind him, and launching both him and Olivine west. Her screams were more audible than his laughter as the rail gun fired.

Carmine looked down to see a girl walking by.

"Hey,"he said down to her.

She looked up, and sighed with relief. "Oh thank god."

"For?" he asked.

"Your not that insane asshole," she replied.

He gritted his teeth. "Two of his bullets nearly killed me today.

She nodded. "You might want to get use to that."

Carmine laughed. "He your old boyfriend or something?"

"Not anything of the sort!" she replied, angry and embarrassed. "The reason I know him is cause we both went to Signal. We were both orphans, so we were trained together."

Carmine nodded, and jumped down. "You ready?" he said, putting his hand out for her to take.

She took his hand, and he immediately turned bright red. His hand went into a coat pocket, and he turned his head away.

Amber began laughing. "Really? All that talk, and you can't hold a girl's hand?"

"I- Its not like that," he said with a small stutter. "Honestly i'm proud I lasted that long."

Amber laughed a bit more. "Got it Romeo. Now lets get going before that idiot finds us."

Sean pulled himself into a ball to protect Olivine.

They landed, Sean laughing.

Olivine was busy regaining her breath. "Never... do that... again!"

"I don't make promises," he replied.

Olivine got a little annoyed, then noticed Sean's arm was still around her waist. She blushed.

"Hey, lovey dovey time is over," she stated.

Sean got a little embarrassed, and got up.

Olivine's tail twitched.

Sean got the point, and got Hades ready for battle.

The Deathstalker crawled out from behind the trees, and glared at them. It raised its stinger.

Sean fired a bullet at the Grimm's head. This Deathstalker was strong however, seeing as how the bullet got stuck half way through its body. It still did its job though, and the creature crumpled to the ground.

Olivine turned and fired an arrow at the Ursa coming at them.

Sean jumped forward, and sent his blade into the creature's head. It split with a loud crack, and Sean stood up, and searched for more Grimm. None to be found.

"Well, off we go," he said, walking to the left.

it was then that the Ursa charged.

Walker was fighting off a Beowolve when he heard a loud bang, followed by loud laughter, getting louder by the second.

No time to think, he used his semblance, and a human figure flew right through him, and through the Beowolve.

As the Grimm vanished, Walker looked at the guy who just flew strait through a Beowolve. Was he laughing?

"Man, that was fun," he stated, dusting himself off.

Walker looked at the guy walking up to him. He was just a little shorter than himself. Walker sighed. "Looks like i'm stuck with you," he said.

"No," Sean said, putting Hades on his back. "My partner is that way," he said, pointing at where he flew from.

Walker looked at guy in front of him. "How did you survive that?" he asked.

"No clue!" Sean said, walking west.

Walker rubbed his head. "Who the hell is this guy?"

Amber looked over the trees, and saw someone she didn't want to see.

"Why him?" she asked

Carmine got the point, and sighed. "The guy who nearly killed me?" he asked.

Amber nodded. "Him and the guy with the overcoat are heading west."

"So, we follow?" he asked.

Amber sighed. "Not much choice."

Walker looked, and saw someone fighting. He had managed to kill a few Grimm. He wore black ninja garb lined with red.

The two huntsmen walked up. "Impressive," Walker said, noticing the three Beowolves vanishing.

The ninja nodded, putting his rifle back into his holster.

Sean stuck out his hand. "Names Sean Frye mister ninja!" the psycho said with enthusiasm.

The ninja, unfazed, shook back. "Ryan Kim," he replied.

Sean laughed for some reason only he knew.

"You have a partner yet?" Walker asked.

Ryan shook his head.

"Then looks like were a team," walker said, edging away from the psycho.

Ryan motioned to Sean. "And him?" he asked.

"My partner is the Faunus with the bushy tail and the green clothes," Sean replied. he pulled out a small bag of peanuts, and began to snack on them.

Ryan decided to ignore the weird individual.

"You know where the ruins are?" Walker asked.

Ryan nodded. "I was heading that way when you two stumbled onto me."

Johnny Guy was often refereed to as an interesting person. He never cussed, he had a bit of a knight's code, and he loved to invent. His personality was kind and bubbly. But his anger was random and fearful. The nice ones snapping always hurt more.

Brandon Coleman, in his samurai design, was a rather interesting character, considering he preferred to stay to himself, didn't smile as much as others, and had a weird thing with randomly talking about cat eared Faunus. He kept his weapon close, and chose silence for the moment.

The two were fighting off the Ursa Major that had jumped them. This thing was no joke.

Sweaty and tired, the two took down the Ursa Major.

"About friggin' time," Johnny commented.

Brandon just pulled out his scroll, and started playing a game.

Johnny just gave a him a weird look. "really? Were fighting for our lives, and your playing a game?"

"Yeah?" Brandon replied

"You frick," Johnny said, walking towards the temple.

With that said, Brandon followed.

Amber saw the ruins, but saw no Sean.

"Good, maybe we can grab an artifact and be out of here before he finds us," she commented.

Carmine just let out a small laugh and nodded.

The relics for that year were chess pieces, much like most years. The pieces were rooks, bishops, and knights of both colors. Or, was.

Both black bishop pieces, both white bishop pieces, and both white rook pieces were gone.

Amber grabbed one of the black knight pieces. "Any complaints?"

"Not a one my lady," he teased.

"You going to try inviting me into your bed next?" she joked.

Carmine turned bright red. His voice betrayed him, and he couldn't reply. Amber found this funny.

Then, their joking was cut off when a loud laughter, and two people screaming caught their attention.

Amber look up, knowing who had found them.

Sean was coming in like a missile. With him were two other people. One had brown hair and wore a grey trench coat, and a rather classy looking attire, though Carmine's was classier. His face betrayed his professional attire though, as he screamed in fear of the rapidly approaching ground.

The other wore black ninja garb, which hid his face. His riffle at the ready.

The guy in the trench coat let the ninja go, while he seemed to phase through Sean's grip.

The tree spun off in different crash points.

The ninja landed ten feet from the ruins, though with less of a crater. The other guy phased through two trees, and landed with a thump on the ground twenty-five feet away. and Sean landed a mere two feet away from the ruins.

Sean dusted himself off, and greeted the two before him.

"Heyyo!" he shouted with vigor.

Carmine looked confused. "How did you not get hurt from that?"

"Don't know. My aura doesn't leave much to explain."

"Yeah," Amber said, backing away. "We have our artifact, so, lets go."

"Good plan," Sean replied. "But what do you plan to do about those two Deathstalkers coming our way?"

"What?" Amber asked, turning.

Sure enough, two Deathstalkers were chasing two people running for the ruins.

When they burst into view, the two looked terrified.

The samurai had his blade ready, but not wanting to fight the two Grimm behind him. The guy in the blue shirt was screaming something like," Frick, frick, frick."

Sean took aim, and fired. The round sliced through it's tail, and left it with out a stinger.

Suddenly, Walker dashed forward, and pulled his weapons out, revealing two tonfas. He took one, which did some weird techno thing, revealing a complex circuitry that started letting out a visible pulse of what appeared to be sound, as shown by an audible, but barely noticeable buzzing.

Walker hit the intact Deathstalker in the head, and the Grimm started to act weird, appearing dazed and confused. Just then, Ryan charged forward, his rifle now a quan dao. The ninja sent the blade through the Grimm, and the Grimm fell forward, dead, and vanishing.

Sean barely noticed the Grimm aimed at him, until his reflexes kicked in, and landed the sharp end of his blade into the monster's skull. He twisted the blade sideways, and Grimm arched in pain as Death welcomed it.

As if seven hunters and a huntress fighting for their lives against one Grimm wasn't bad enough, but a familiar Faunus jumped out of the trees, a group of Beowolves, slightly larger than the others, follower her on the ground.

She girl with the squirrel tail landed behind Sean, only giving him a questioning look. "Why did you leave me alone?"

Sean shrugged, and fired a shot at one of the Beowolves.

The bullet managed to kill the thing, and ripped it in half. Sean magaged to get his blade half through the next Beowolves' neck, causing it to slump forward.

Walker was useing his high tech tonfas to stun Beowolves while Carmine dealt with them with his tommy-gun. Olivine had taken a high point in the ruins, and began to fire arrows at the rapidly approaching Grimm. Amber was firing bullets from her hidden weapons at the Beowolves, but due to their low caliber, only caused minor annoyances to them. Johnny and Brandon were tag teaming.

Johnny took his Scalpels, and began to fire at the Grimm. Brandon was up front, stabbing and slashing. The two seemed to work well together, but lacked something for it to truely synchronize.

Johnny stopped fire bullets, and got close, fighting side by side with Brandon.

The Grimm seemed to be just coming at them. They kept fighting, and Sean kept shooting. He grew more blood thirsty, and when he turned, a shot just barely missed Carmine.

"Again?" Carmine asked, hitting the Grimm that had gotten close with his bat.

Sean didn't hear him, as his childish grin grew. He fired indiscriminately.

Finally, when all was calm, Sean's head began to clear.

"That was fun!" he shouted with glee.

Amber punched him in the back of the head. "You dumbass!" she shouted. "Do you know how close you were to killing all of us?" she asked.

"Close?" He asked, curiously.

"Very!" she shouted back, getting more annoyed.

She calmed her head. "Any more Grimm?" she asked Ryan.

"Yes, but their keeping their distance for now. We might want to grab our artifacts now."

They all nodded.

Sean and Olivine grabbed another black knight piece, while Johnny, Walker, Brandon and Ryan grabbed the white knight pieces.

They began a race toward the cliff they got flung off of.

You might think it was easy then?

Not even close.

Much like the eight students to come, these eight did not have fun rushing back to the cliff. Except, Sean, but thats different.

They were being besieged by Grimm from all angles. Sean grabbed one of Beowolves, and flung it across a few trees. Carmine was batting them away. Olivine was brandishing her swords like, and most likely because, letting go could mean death. Amber was stabbing Grimm left and right with both of her hidden blades.

Johnny was firing a few shots at approaching Grimm. Brandon slashed at any foolish enough to get close. Walker had tonfas ready, aiming to daze, confuse, and knock out Grimm more than kill them. Ryan, oddly enough, led the charge with Sean, having his rifle in its Guan Dao form, slicing Grimm at a distance.

The fight to the cliff went by in a blur, resulting in most of the details becoming foggy. They were covered in small scratches that were quickly healing themselves, and sweat.

Ryan, who wore the clothing meant to be the coolest in warm temperatures, was sweating the most, causing his clothes to stick to his skin.

When they stood at the base of the cliff, they noticed that climbing would be slow, and leave them open if they weren't careful.

Sean let out a breath. "That was fun. but very tiring."

No one else commented on that.

They looked up at the cliff. All of them noticed that it would be slow to climb, and leave them exposed if they weren't careful.

Sean already had his route though. "Anyone want a ride?" he asked.

Amber backed away. "Me and Carmine can climb, so were good." Carmine nodded.

Ryan shook his head, explaining how he can climb, and be up there in no time. Brandon declined, noticing that it was slower, but safer to climb. Walker declined as well, and when Sean turned away, he shivered at the thought of what happened earlier that day.

Olivine walked up. "I guess multiple carriage rides are to be expected."

Sean nodded." Guess i'll get use to it."

Johnny walked up as well, and sighed. "What the point in life if you don't take risks. I mean, whats the worst that could happen?"

No one answered that question.

Sean put his arm around Olivine's waist. As the three were ready. Sean pointed Hades down. Only then did Johnny realize his mistake, but before he couldn't back away before Sean grabbed his arm, and the rail gun fired.

The three stood there one second, and then they fired up into the air.

As open as his defenses at some points, his strength was frightening, and his weapon, more so.

It was this alone that kept Grimm at bay.

Ryan had already begun his accent up the cliff. He was already half way up.

Carmine grabbed amber the hood of her hoodie, and jumped fired a molotov at the ground, giving him life off. He got them halfway up, useing the wind as propulsion, but that exhausted him so much, that he was barely able to continue climbing.

Brandon was down the lowest, and Carmine began to fire his tommy-gun at the monsters. Any that tried to climb, got riddled with bullets. Due to his exhaustion though, he was only 50% accurate, resulting in many missed rounds.

Amber wasn't must use at a range, and began climbing.

Walker was climbing slightly faster than Brandon, resulting in a bit of an obscured race of sorts. He had one of his tonfas emitting a pulse. The sound, barely audible, but it appeared to mess with some of the Grimm. This resulted in sound rather funny incidents of Grimm falling off the cliff side.

About halfway, Carmine, Walker and Brandon began accending the other half, noticeing they were out of danger.

Surprisingly no Nevermores had shown up. This was a welcomed surprise.

When Carmine and Walker reached the top, they helped pull Brandon up.

When the three looked around, they saw their comrades sitting catching their breaths. They too sat down with them, and looked at the sky.

As they relaxed, Professor Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch walked up.

"Well done," Ozpin commented. "Most students can't ward off that many Grimm on their own."

Miss Goodwitch nodded.

"I have high hopes for the eight of you. Prove me right to believe in you." He took a sip of coffee, before leading them back to the airship.

The people gathered varied from family, to friends, to benefactors of the school.

Professor Ozpin stood in the center of the stage. This ceremony was a norm, but it always made Ozpin feel a little happy seeing pride shine in the eyes of these young souls.

He looked at his scroll. He began to call the first round of students. "Velvet Scarletina. Coco. Fox. And Yatsuhashi. The four of you gathered the white rook peices. As such, you now be known as Team CFVY. Led by Coco."

Coco gave a good smile. Fox gave her a pat on the back as approval.

The other teams were a blur, but they were defiantly intimidating images.

Suddenly, four of the remaining eight were rallied up.

They walked up.

"Johnny Guy. Walker Freepons. Ryan Kim. And Brandon Coleman. The four of you gathered the white knight pieces. A such, you will now be known as Team GRFC. Led by Johnny Guy." Ozpin gave a nod, and applause followed.

Walker gave his new leader a pat on the back, while Ryan lowered his mask for the first time all day.

As Team GRFC took their seats with the other teams, the final four were rallied up.

Amber looked annoyed, but decided so long as Sean wasn't leader, she could deal with it.

The four walked forward. Lights enveloped them.

Carmine straitened up his suit, makeing sure his tie was on right. He looked ver professional.

Amber put her hood down, walking behind Carmine.

Olivine straitened the hair on her tail, making sure it wasn't to frizzy. She had donned her jacket for this, thinking her tank top alone would come off as a bit provocative.

Sean didn't change anything about himself. He had his boots freashly pollished, but that was it. His jeans were slightly faded, but fit him well. And his tank top fit him well, showing off his muscle.

Ozpin watched at the four students assembled. He began. "Carmine Quartz. Amber Assino. Olivine Shurwood. And Sean Frye." the names rolled off, making three of the four uneasy, while the fourth just watched, curious his leader would be. "The four of you gathered the black knight pieces. As such, you will now be know, as Team CAOS." Silence fell over them as Ozpin continued reading. "Led by, Carmine Quartz."

Carmine was dumbfounded as Amber gave him a cheerful pat on the back. His antisipation of his leader would be was proven false. He was the leader, and all three of his team mates approved.

Author Notes:

So this concludes the Prologue for Team CAOS. Along with a slight start for Team GRFC on the side. Things will only escalate from here. Watch as they go on mssions, fight more Grimm, and even find a true reason to fight. All this, and maybe a snowball fight. Who knows.

Thanks for reading though. I put a good chunk of work into this chapter. So. Enjoy!
