Chapter 3
AN: Ok not too much to say in this AN sooo I'll just cut to the chase. Thank you very much to the people who read, Follow and or Favorite my story, it's really nice to know that some people out there like what I am doing here. With that being said… lets get to the next chapter already.
BREAK
Waking up from his sleeping spot on the windowsill, Sam looked around at the students that were all still asleep. 'Pfft, typical, why am I not surprised at being the only person up this early in the morning. However, in their defense, it is only six aclock in the morning… that makes sense though. I doubt any of these people had to get up this early to do morning workouts.'
As he looked around the room he found it quite funny how some of the other people were sleeping. Some of them were sprawled out over the floor, while some had drool on the side of their mouth; one person in particular was wearing a light blue onesie that made him stand out from all of the other guys. Looking to his side to see if the girl with the bow was still where she was last night, he had to stifle his laughter when he saw her. She had half of her body dangling off of the windowsill, and her book that she had with her last night had fallen to the ground, open on the last page she was reading. Regaining his calm composure, he grabbed her book and slid the bookmark she had into the current page she was on and placed it gently next to her.
'Well, better get myself ready. After all, initiation is today… I wonder what Ozpin has planned for us?'
Making his way to the bathrooms, Sam entered a stall so that he could change out his wrappings and prepare himself for the day to come. Exiting the bathroom he saw that the students were beginning to wake up and prepare themselves for initiation. 'Huh, why is everybody going to the lockers?'
Walking towards the lockers that everyone seemed to be going to, he looked around for someone that could answer his question. Seeing as most of the other students were already leaving for initiation, Sam was lucky enough to find one other student still at his locker. This guy had long, black hair that was tied back into a ponytail and ended around midway down his back, much like Sam. The guy wore a dark-green, diagonally buttoned, long-sleeved tailcoat, and the cuffs of his tailcoat were pink. Sam also noticed that this person's tailcoat had black and gold trimming that went down the right side of his tailcoat and formed a collar; the guy also wore light-tan pants and black shoes. Seeing as this guy wasn't going anywhere, as he was checking to see if his weapons would work, Sam approached him. "Hey, do you know what everyone was over here at the lockers for?"
Turning his head to see a mysterious figure in completely black attire, the guy replied calmly. "They used the lockers to store their weapons last night, and now they are retrieving them for initiation. Weren't you assigned one yesterday by your scroll?"
"Did I get on- oh, so I did… locker number 303. Hehe, well thanks for the help anyways. Hey do you know the name of the woman that was next to Ozpin on the stage I didn't catch her name?"
"Her name is Glynda Goodwitch, and no probl…"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was quickly taken away by an orange blur that grabbed his arm and ran off while exclaiming. "Reeeennn we're gonna be late, come on we gotta goooo!"
The only thing Sam had seen was a fast moving blur of orange come to the side of the person now known as Ren, grab his arm, and run off with him. Turning his head to see what time it was, he saw that he needed to get to the Beacon Cliffs for initiation or else he would be late.
BREAK
Making his way to the Beacon Cliffs, he saw that the people he knew and the other students were barely starting to stand of what seemed like tiles on the grass. Seeing that the only one left for him to stand on was the one on the far left, he walked over to his tile and stood on top of it. As he stood on top of his tile, Ozpin gave a small pep talk to the students addressing what they were to do for initiation.
"For years you have trained to become warriors, and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forrest."
The same blonde woman that took over for Ozpin the day before, now know as Glynda Goodwitch, cut in. "Now I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put and end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates… today."
Returning to finish the pep talk. "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 whom you can work well. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."
At this revelation, Sam could hear some girl along the line to his right say "Wwwhhaaaaaatt" as she apparently wasn't expecting the rules to play out as they did.
"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."
Sam could hear the gulps of worry and happy squeals of the student who had been informed of the possibility of death and clearance to cause destruction, upon entering the forest.
"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 and return to the top of the cliff. We will guard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. I will let you students know that there is a unique relic that is nearby the other relics. The person who finds this unique relic will receive a special reward for managing to find and return it to us. Now, are there any questions?" Ignoring a boy who had a question for him. "Good! Now, take your positions."
'Wait a minute that guy had a question, like how are we getting int- SHIIIIIIT!' Sam's questioned was answered as he was flung into the forest without warning, as the tile he was standing atop of was actually some sort of launch pad. 'Ok ok stay calm Sam, remember the training that the court mages gave you.'
Remembering the training he had received from the court mages, Sam pushed his left hand against the wind and moved his left hand over his right hipbone. Sparking his hand via snapping his fingers over his hipbone, a small ball of hellfire spawned in the palm of his hand. Immediately after spawning, the ball of fire in his hand turned into a thin, 2D circle; the circle had a hand form in the middle of it that appeared to be gesturing for you to stop… Sam knew this device, as a Stop Rune.
Upon seeing that he had summoned the proper rune, he thought. 'Perfect! Just the type of rune I need in this situation.' Looking at the patch of grass he would be landing on shortly, he threw the Stop Rune where he would land and it quadrupled in size of its original form that was in his hand and kept its red outline as it touched and connected with the ground. Once he landed on the Stop Rune he noticed that all the momentum he built up from falling seemed to disappear… that is… until it caught up with him a few seconds later and sent him on his knees. "Dammit, I really hate how these Stop Runes always have the momentum I build up, catch up with me and send me to the ground, eeevery siiiingle time!"
Standing up and looking above himself, he noticed how he was lucky enough to come through a section of the Emerald Forest that WASN'T covered by trees. Listening carefully he could hear the sounds of the other people that were on the launch pad make their way into the forest to collect a relic, as well as look for the unique relic Ozpin had mentioned.
'Grrreeaaat, more people, uuggh I better get my ass in gear. I am sooo NOT going to get paired with one of these fuckwits!
Sam began to pick up his pace and started running towards the northern end of the forest, lest he come across a creature of Grimm and end up wasting his time having to fight it. Realizing that he needed to find a faster way to get to The Abandoned Temple, he began thinking of ways he could get to the temple without coming in to contact with another person and end up being partnered with someone that would only slow him down. "Okay lets see what my options are here, A) I could continue running through the forest as I am now, but then some fool without a partner would find me and become my partner… OH hell no! I am NOT putting myself in a situation like that. Option B) I use my Dash Runes to get me to the temple in a speedy fashion… Rrrrr crap, I can't do that either. This isn't Hell where I can use all the hellfire I want and never run out, I have to let it recharge for some time unless I feel like getting caught by an Ursa or something, with no hellfire to summon a weapon. Fuck! What else can I d- hello~ Nevermore, or should I call you… my ride.
Standing over a large open section of the forest where he could see the sky clearly, Sam saw a Nevermore flying overhead. Seeing as taking to the skies would completely eliminate the possibility of some partner less fool becoming his partner, he decided to make this Nevermore his one-way ticket to the temple.
Summoning his twin pistol that resembled flaming M1911's was done by sparking his fingers like he had done with his Stop Rune, as that was how he summoned all of his weapons and tools. Instead of putting his hands near his hips like he had done with his Stop Rune, he put both his hands into the air and sparked them, which caused fire to gather near his open hands and take shape of his flaming M1911's. "Okay, let's see if I still remember that pistol training Jackie Estacado gave me in Hell."
He began taking shots from the open section of the forest that went near the Nevermore, but not close enough to hit it. He had to be mindful of the number of times he fired because once he fired off all eight cartridges from both his pistols; the pistols would evaporate into the air as wisps of fire. "Come on you fucking oversized crow, come over here!"
Sam's request for the Nevermore to come his way was answered, as the Nevermore he was shooting at started to fly towards him.
'Perfect… everything's going according to plan. Just in time too, I just fired off my last cartridge.'
Sam's plan was to get the Nevermore to come close enough to him so that he could try and wrangle it to the ground via one of his two whips tools that he could summon. As he noticed the Nevermore flying closer to him so that it could throw its spear like feathers at him, he got behind a tree that was next to him and summoned one of his whips in his left hand. To summon his whip he put his left hand over the right side of his ribs and sparked his hand again. Pulling his whip out of the small cloud of fire that was created over the right side of his ribs, he shivered at the unpleasant memories he had from the training he received from the instructors for his whips. 'Note to self… NEVER! Ask for whip training from succubuses again. That training has got to be the worst training I've ever endured out of them all… so many bindings… so much groping… AND IT WAS ALL DONE TO ME! However… it wasn't completely bad. They did teach me how to use these whips of mine… amongst other… skills.'
Pushing those thoughts out of his head and peeking around the tree he was hiding behind, he saw that the Nevermore had already thrown its feathers and was turning to fly back up into the sky. Seeing this as his moment to strike, he wrapped his right arm the best he could around the tree and used his whip to grab onto the Nevermore's left leg. Realizing that its leg was caught on something, the Nevermore began to trash around in an attempt to free itself from whatever was keeping it from flying back up into the sky.
"Come on you fucking bird, just come down here already. I just want to ride you all the way to The Abandoned Temple is all. Why won't you just give u- FUUUUUCCKKK!" Not realizing that his holding onto the tree and the Nevermore providing the strength to uproot it had slowly uprooted the tree he was grabbing onto. Sam had been flung into the air along with the Nevermore he was still holding onto with his whip. Looking down and seeing that he wouldn't be able to safely land, as the Nevermore had taken him away from the open patches of forest that he could use to place a Stop Rune on, he decided that his only option was to continue with his plan to ride the Nevermore to The Abandoned Temple.
'Ok Sam be calm, you are currently flying in the air courtesy of a Nevermore and have no other option but to take control of this Nevermore and fly it to The Abandoned Temple. On the bright side, you should make it there before anyone else, so you won't have to worry about the chances of meeting some idiot who hasn't found a partner yet. On the bad side though, if you fall, you will plummet to your death. Well I guess I better start movin' on up.'
With his mind made up, he began pulling himself towards the Nevermore by his whip that was still wrapped around the Nevermore's leg. As he got near the leg that his whip was wrapped around, he noticed that the Nevermore just happened to be going in the direction that he needed to be going. 'Well aren't I the lucky one luck today.' Unwrapping his whip from the Nevermore's leg, and putting it back over the right side of his ribs, the whip evaporating just like his twin pistols had done. After returning his whip, he began to grab onto tufts of the Nevermore's feather and pull himself to the topside of the Nevermore.
Upon making his way to the top of the Nevermore while fighting against the wind that was blowing against him, he stabilized himself just below the neck of the Nevermore, extended his left arm completely and yet again, sparked his hand. Wisps of fire began to gather in the palm of his hand and stretch out to create a spear that had a few tiny flames come off of the blade at the top. "Time to see if the spear training that fuck Ajax the Lesser gave me really paid off or not."
Standing up and balancing himself on the Nevermore he was riding, he tightly gripped the spear he summoned with both hands and drove it deep into a fleshy portion of the Nevermore. By the painful screeches that came from the Nevermore, he knew that he had hit a sensitive spot on the Nevermore. Tilting the spear to the right, he noticed that the Nevermore flew to the right, as if it was trying to comply with the person who had drove a spear into its back. Unsure of whether or not the Nevermore was truly flying in accordance with the way he tilted his spear, he began tilting his spear in different directions to verify if this theory of his was true or not.
After tilting his spear towards the left, right, forwards, and backwards, he found out that he could get the Nevermore to fly to the left and right, as well as rise and fall. To his dismay however, he could see that he was nearing his destination and wouldn't be able to fly around on the Nevermore he had just taken control of for much longer. "Aaaaww maaaann, I just fuckin' figured out how to control this damn thing! Well, since it appears that I'm going to need to go down to ground level, it seems like I can do that thing I always wanted to do… crash… landing."
Once he was close to the front of The Abandoned Temple, he made the Nevermore he was controlling start diving towards the ground. He could feel the immense speed he was gaining because of his clothes pressing against his body, the wind flowing through the eyeholes in his mask, and his hood coming off of his head and flapping around in the wind. "OOOOOOHHH SSSHHIIIIIIITT!"
As he saw the Nevermore reach about fifteen feet away from hitting the ground, he lodged his spear in the forward position and let go of it to grab onto the Nevermore's feathers so that way when it hit the ground he wouldn't be flung off the Nevermore and be killed from the impact of diving out of the sky on a Nevermore and subsequently crash-landing said Nevermore. After the landing and dust clearing up, he noticed that the Nevermore he rode was dead from having its neck snap upon impacting the ground at high speeds. Ignoring his spear that was still lodged into the Nevermore, he made his way to the temple to grab his relic so that he would be able to quickly leave before some fool without a partner found him. "Alright… time to find myself a relic."
Upon taking a step onto the temple he shielded the right eyehole on his mask, as a flashy light had made its way into the small opening for his eye on his mask. Taking a step back to see what had caused him this annoyance, he noticed that it appeared to be coming from something shiny on the stone slab that the middle pillar was supporting. Positioning himself in front of the pillar, he summoned a Jump Rune in his left hand the same way he summoned his Stop Rune. The only real difference between his Jump Rune and Stop Rune was that the Stop Rune had a hand gesturing for you to stop in the middle of it. The Jump Rune had the word "Up" in the center of it, which basically told the user of the rune where they would end up upon activating the rune.
Once he threw the Jump Rune on the ground it enlarged just like the Stop Rune had, he then activated the rune via stepping on it and sent himself into the air. Immediately after reaching the height of where the flashy object was, he quickly grabbed whatever it was and fell back down to the ground. Once he saw what he had grabbed from atop the pillar, he was shocked to see that it was a pawn from a game of chess, but the one he had was made entirely from silver which is what caused it to shine into his eye. Casting his eyes upon the other relics around him, he saw that while some of them were missing, they were all pieces from a chess game that were either gold or black. 'Why are all the relics just chess pieces? What kind of game are you playing here Ozpin? Bah, I got better shit to worry about than this man's idea for 'relics', like getting my spear out of that Nevermore, or getting my ass back to Beacon before someone finds me and makes me their partner.'
Putting his 'relic' into his pant pocket, he walked over to the Nevermore that he saw was starting to slowly evaporate into the air. Luckily for him, this made removing his spear from the creature easier for him, as he wouldn't have to struggle so much with it to get his spear back. Once he removed his spear from the Nevermore he extended his left arm in the same manner that he did to summon the weapon and let go of it, the spear turned into fiery wisps as it evaporated into thin air like his pistols had done. While he looked at the Nevermore slowly evaporate, he failed to hear Yang and the girls with the bow walk out of the forest.
"Hey I know that person over there! We should go ta-" Yang was cut off by her partner dressed in a black, purple, and white clothing.
"I don't think we should go over to him." Spoke Yang's partner.
"But why, I… somewhat know what he… or she… is." Yang spoke in an unsure tone as she realized that she didn't really know anything about this person besides the one letter name he had given her when they first met.
"Something about the way he, or she, is looking at that Grimm, suggests that we should just move ahead and not bother him or her." Her partner said worriedly, as all she knew about this person was that he had let her sleep near him the night before. The two agreed to not bother this mysterious person who was watching the Grimm he killed evaporate, and move on to get their relic.
Coming out of the trace he was in, Sam remembered that his plan after retrieving his spear, was to get himself back to Beacon quickly so that he would not be paired with someone he didn't know. Leaving the corpse of the Nevermore to evaporate, he quickly began running back the way he came, hoping that he wouldn't run into anybody who didn't have a partner. Every once in a while, he would launch himself into the air by one of his Jump Runes so that he could see how much farther he would need to go until he arrived back at the Beacon Cliffs. When he heard footsteps approaching he quickly dove into a bush so that whoever was coming near him wouldn't find him and become his partner.
The footsteps he heard coming near him was actually the sound of running, he still decided to stay in the bush he was in, even though he was curious as to who else was running… and why? He was glad that he decided to stay in the bush because shortly after whoever was running, was a large Death Stalker. 'Damn! Someone actually managed to piss off a Death Stalker. I feel bad for the poor fool who did that, they must be running their ass off to get away from it… to bad that a Death Stalker won't stop until it catches you. Well, it sounds like the coast is clear, looks like I can get back to getting back to Beacon.'
Coming out of the bush that he was hiding in, he began running to the Beacon Cliffs to secure himself and his relic. Shortly after running he heard the sound of another Nevermore overhead. "Oh shit there's another one here!" Taking a quick glance at the Nevermore, he noticed that it was also going to The Abandoned Temple. The only thing different about this Nevermore was the fact that there appeared to be red speck on it, and maybe a white one; Sam couldn't tell because the speck of white could have easily been apart of the sky and his mind was just playing tricks on him.
Running back to the Beacon Cliffs, he could hear the feint sounds of gunfire and creatures of Grimm making their natural sounds coming from The Abandoned Temple he had just come from. 'What in fuck's name is going on over there? Oooh man, if I didn't need to get back to the Beacon Cliffs right now, I would definitely go see who is causing all that chaos over there… but alas, I've got a myself and a relic to secure… maybe next time.'
BREAK
"Here Ozpin, I think that I might have secured that unique relic you were talking about." Sam said nonchalantly.
"Congratulations S, this IS the unique relic that I spoke of." Noticing that Sam didn't have a partner with him. "Did you not find a partner during your initiation?"
Sam calmly spoke. "No Headmaster, I did not find a partner during my initiation."
"Very well. Take a spot in the crowd, I will be announcing the teams shortly. After I announce the teams, I will announce who retrieved the unique relic and their prize for doing so."
Nodding his head in agreement, Sam took a spot in the back of the crowd of students who were going to be assigned to their teams shortly. Deciding to go find his duffel bag that had all of his clothes in it, he left the beginning portion of the team announcements. 'Alright now where the did they put my duffel bag at.' After leaving the amphitheater, he began looking around the now empty halls for any sign of where the staff at Beacon might have put the luggage of the students while they were having their initiation.
"Finally! There you are my duffel bag." Sam exclaimed as he had finally picked the right room that was containing the luggage of all the first year students. Looking at the clock and realizing that the ends of the team announcements was near, he made a mental note of where the room was located at and started jogging back to the amphitheater where Ozpin was announcing the new teams for the year. He carefully opened the doors as to not bring much attention to himself; he caught Ozpin announcing the last three new teams for the year.
"Russel Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing, Sky Lark; the four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward you will work together as… Team CRDL, led by… Cardin Winchester. Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrah Nikos, Nora Valkyrie; the four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward you will work together as… Team JNPR, led by… Jaune Arc."
"Huh! L-led by?" The onesie wearer now known as Jaune exclaimed, surprised at the fact that he would be the leader of Team JNPR.
Upon hearing her name called out, Sam thought to himself angrily. 'PYRRAH! She's here... hehehehe. This. Will. Be… wonderful.'
"Congratulations young man… and finally. Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Yang Xiao Long; the four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward you will work together as… Team RWBY, led by… Ruby Rose."
Upon hearing that her younger sister would be the leader of their team, Yang hugged her sister while happily exclaiming. "I'm so proud of you."
"Now, I'm sure you all are wondering who collected the unique relic I previously mentioned at the Beacon Cliffs. To put your questions to rest, the unique relic was collected by… S."
Hearing his name called, Sam cut through the crowd of new students, and made his way up to the stage Ozpin was on.
"This student here managed to not only find the unique relic, but return it to us. Being that he did not find a partner due to the uneven amount of students this year, the prize I spoke about for retrieving the unique relic will be one of the newly formed teams having the chance to gain an extra teammate. The teams will not however have a say in who gets S. That procedure will be left up to chance… specifically, a random spin through all the teams I've previously named." Upon saying that, Ozpin pulled out his tablet and added all the teams in to a randomizer so that no one team would be left out. "S… If you will… press the button that says 'random' so that we may find out which team you will become apart of for the next four years."
Pressing the button that Ozpin told him to, he could see the names of the previously made teams being shuffled around on the screen. 'I wonder which team I will become apart of? CRDL is just a sausage fest, RWBY is full of girls… not that that's a bad thing though, and JNPR has… her. Sam thought about what it would be like to be placed on each of the teams that he had some knowledge of.
As the list of teams slowly and eventually stopped shuffling, Ozpin announced the name of the team that S would be apart of for the rest of his time at Beacon. "It would appear that the team who will have the addition of S is… Team RWBY! With their new addition, Team RWBY will now be known as… Team RWBYS (pronounced as Rubies), still led by Ruby Rose." Once the original members of Team RWBY saw their new team member come up to them, they looked at him quizzically. They did not know what his real name was as he was only announced by one letter; they did not know if he was a female like rest of them or not because any physical feature they could've used to determine his gender was covered up by the clothing he wore.
The girls only knew two things about their mysterious new member from what they could see and hear. One, his left arm was both completely white and somewhat muscular, they would have used this to tell his gender, but there were some females that were as muscular as men. Two, his voice sounded like that of a robot, as every word that came from what they presumed to be his mouth that was hidden behind his mask sounded emotionless and robotic-like, with only word coming out at a time. The only way they would be able tell what emotions and tone he was using was by listening to how long he stretched the words out, and by how loud the words came out.
"It looks like things are shaping up to be an… interesting year." Ozpin said, interested at how this new year of students would deal with the new challenges they would face.
With the rest of the students leaving to find where their luggage had been taken, Sam stood next to Ozpin as they both looked at the new batch of students and teams. "So tell me Headmaster Ozpin, was it truly through a random shuffling of the teams that I just so happened to be placed on a team full of girls… or did you specifically rig the shuffling so that I WOULD end up on their team regardless of how many times the teams were shuffled?"
"Please… just call me by my last name, calling me by both my title and last name makes me feel like we are strangers, even with the events that happened to us. Do you really not trust to the point where if I say something is random you think it is not?" Ozpin replied. Slightly offended that Sam thought he had the random selection for which team he would be placed on rigged.
Very well… Ozpin. It's not that I don't trust you, as it is more the along the line that I don't like things being rigged without me knowing about it. So I will ask again… Was. It. Rigged?" The last few words that came out of Sam could tell that he had grown tired of this man's game of beating around the bush.
"Alright, to put an end to your worries I will answer your question… no. I did not have the randomizer rigged so that you would end up on the previously named Team RWBY… it was truthfully all random."
"Thank you very much for your honesty Ozpin. Tell you what, now that I think about what you said regarding us not being strangers, I will allow you to call me by my first name when it is just you and I in the same room. Also, I am not sure if you passed the info about who I am to the other faculty members of your Academy, so in the case that you haven't. I'd like you to please not tell them… the last thing I need is for more people to know what I did as my main job, and for the info regarding that to not come from my mouth specifically."
"Well then, you are quite lucky to have caught me when you did Sam, I was about to let the other members of faculty know about your rather dark past but seeing as you caught me before I did so… I won't tell them. You mentioned that you had a… 'main job'… what else do you do as a job Sam?"
Impressed and slightly annoyed that Ozpin had caught what Sam previously said. "Hehe, you caught that little piece of info didn't you… don't fret Ozpin, the only other job I have done in my life is run an establishment for the people of Vale to relax, have a bit of fun, and enjoy some company… if they could manage to acquire company that is. I also had to deal with the byproducts of the establishment to make sure that it ran smoothly like it should."
Ozpin pondered for a bit about the info that Sam had told him. "Hmmmm… very well Sam, it seems like you have acquired some good skills from this other job of your so I don't feel the need to pry into it any more than I already have. Now, go find your new teammates and then go to your team's dorm… it has been a long day and I am pretty sure that you all could use some sleep, for tomorrow you shall have your first day of classes here at Beacon."
Following the orders he was given by Ozpin, he left the amphitheater to find his new teammates and the subsequently find his team's dorm. 'Alright, knowing where all the luggage is being held, I should probably head over there to meet up with the rest of my… team... ugh. Something tells me I'm not going to have the greatest of times with these girls… oh well. What's done is done.'
Jogging towards the room that was being used to hold the luggage of the new students, Sam began to think about his new teammates. 'Ruby Rose, the team leader of Team RWBYS. She seems kinda young to be at this kind of school, but I am in no position to judge people of what they do based on age. Knowing the stuff I do, I will actually impressed if she's actually younger than me AND trying to become a Huntress. Blake Belladonna, the girl from last night who has a bow atop her head. She seems to keep to herself a lot and just read that book. That bow she wears would look weird to me if I hadn't already seen my share of weird shit so far in my life… so I'll let that one slide. Yang Xiao Long, the girl from the bar. She seems to be pretty careless with how she deals with things so she might give me trouble when shit gets serious. The only thing I have to worry about from her… besides the way she acts, is the fact that she somewhat knows me… actually, all the things we talked about was about her… good, one less thing for me to worry about. Lastly… Weiss Schnee, the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company or SDC for short. The only things I know about her is that she is both snarky and pretentious. I do NOT need that kind of bullshit attitude on this team I'm supposed to work apart of… I'm going to have to talk to her eventually about that. The only other thing that would really spell trouble for me is if I tell her how I actually know her… when I find the time to sit down and talk with her about it I will. She has a right to know, and unfortunately, I am going to be the bearer of that news… Fuck me.
Turning the corner to the hallway that the luggage room was in, he could see his new teammates getting the last bits of their luggage. 'Damn! I got here just in time didn't I.'
"H-hey S, h-h-how are you." Ruby spoke trying to be friendly, but she soon came across as afraid as her new teammate slightly scared her. From her perspective, she saw a person dressed in completely black clothing and a black mask stand over an entire foot taller than her, as she was only five feet two inches tall, and her new teammate was six feet four inches thanks to a one-inch boost he received from his shoes.
Being that he was extremely tired, he only gave a weak hand gesture to say hello to her. Grabbing his duffel bag from the room, they all made their way to their team's dorm. Taking the lead in walking to their dorm room, he could barely hear what the whispers of his other teammates were because he was very tired from the crazy day he had because of initiation. Reaching their room and opening it via his scroll, he held the door for the rest of his teammates to walk into the room they were going to have to share between the five of them. Once Blake, being the last person, entered the room, Sam drug his feet against the carpet floor of their room, threw his duffel bag against the wall below the fold out window in the room and passed out cold on the floor from the wild day he had.
Seeing that their mysterious fifth teammate had fallen asleep on the floor, the girls began to talk about what they would do with him, with Weiss the first to speak about him in her usual cold and rude tone. "I don't like the thought of having this… S person stay in the same room as us."
Blake was the next to speak about him. "While S may seem nice and all, we don't know a thing about who he or she is. Think about it, we don't know anything about who this person is or where this person comes from, we don't even know this person's real name. We were only given a single letter."
"Come on you guys, we should at least give S a chance. He or she is already asleep." Ruby spoke against her two teammates who already didn't trust their new teammate.
"I think we should listen to them Rubes, I mean, the only reason I even know who this person is, is because I met S at a bar a few days ago. I didn't even get a different name from the one you guys got today." Yang said agreeing with the other two teammates she actually KNEW the names of.
After some more time bickering about what they should do with this mysterious fifth teammate. The girls managed to convince Ruby to put their new teammate in the hallway outside the team room they were all supposed to share. Carefully picking up the lower and upper half of their new teammates body, Yang and Blake managed to carefully carry and place S outside of Team RWBYS room. Weiss and Ruby couldn't help because S was rather heavy and they worried that an extra set of hands would wake up the sleeping person they were trying to place outside the room.
Once they placed Sam in the position he fell asleep in their room, the girls made a note explaining why they didn't want a teammate they knew nothing about sleeping in the same room as them, taped it to the door for Sam to see in the morning, closed the door and went to sleep in the team's room… without their new teammate with them.
BREAK
OOOOHHH the girls are being fucked up to Sam and he's barely said a word to any of them or done anything to them… that they know of that is.
How is Sam going to react to being kicked out of his team's room on day 1 of being assigned to work with them?
Singe out
