First RWBY fic. Not a S/I. Story focuses on two first year OC teams (Teams ROGE and NIHT), with RWBY and JNPR alongside two second year teams (Team CFVY and AVGR (OC team)). Will follow along the plot of the first three seasons (slight alterations will happen). OOCness will be kept to a minimum. On Hiatus for the moment.

RWBY : New Beginning

Deaths-Head : Disclaimer time... I don't own RWBY or the characters, locations, etc... they are all owned by RoosterTeeth. Only things I own are my OC's.

Also, I will try to keep the ooc for the established characters kept to a minimum, but will have some at times.

Chapter Eight

Lyana looked around the dorm room, assigned to Team ROGE and nodded. A large central window, with a bed on either side of it. A bed was in each corner of the room, with four desks alongside the wall with the door to the hallway and finally another two doors on the left side of the room. She watched as Ophira opened the first one, noting the large walk in wardrobe as Ullysses opened the other showing off the bathroom area.

"Impressive. Better than the rooms at Dionne."

Ophira looked at him, over her shoulder.

"They were more... spartan?"

The Atlesian nodded as he walked over to the bed on the far side of the room, the one with his two bags resting on.

"Indeed. Everything had to be neat and ordered, and individual comforts were... sparse."

Lyana brought her bags over to the wardrobe, where Ophira had already claimed the alcove closest to the door as hers.

"I can't imagine what it was like, to learn and live under a strict regime and then come here to Beacon where things are a little more... relaxed?"

Ullysses nodded in agreement as he placed some books, pads and stationery on the table opposite his bed.

"Indeed. It will be a nice change." he looked up and noticed "Where is our team leader?"

The three looked around, when the door opened and closed as Reven walked in, dragging his bag behind him, before collapsing on the bed nearest the bathroom door. Grinning, Lyana leaned against the door frame to the walk in wardrobe, arms folded across her chest and a grin on her face. The Wolf faunus looked over Lyana's shoulder as Ullysses walked over and picked up Reven's dropped bag.

"Heh... let me guess. You were just... 'Yanging' around eh?"

With a muffled groan, her brother answered her.

"She wanted to continue what started in the ballroom."

A short laugh escaped his sister's mouth as she walked over and sat on the bed opposite her brother's.

"Let me guess... she was being rather... 'welcoming'... to you again?"

Reven rolled his head so he could stare at his twin's face.

"If you call, being chased from the amphitheater to the dorm's, being tacked, placed in a headlock near her..." he paused " 'chest'... and then introduced to her Team and another, while still having your head squeezed against her 'assets'... welcoming... ugh..."

Lyana laughed out loud, even Ophira and Ullysses joining in. Reven groaned and lifted his pillow up and over his face.

"I get no respect... no respect at all."

Ullysses grinned.

"I would say that was a show of... endearment. It would seem that this 'Yang' person wishes to resume your past relationship. One which could be more..." he grinned at Lyana and Ophira "carnal... in nature."

Amidst their laughter, Reven groaned rather audibly. Even Ophira couldn't resist joining in.

"Leader... there comes a time for females when their body demands attention and certain hormones are expelled naturally from their bodies. Usual term would be called 'Heat'. Now when a female enters this stage, she will search for a appropriate male to... 'cool' her down," Lyana fell back on her bed laughing out loud as Ullysses had to lean on the bed frame, shoulders heaving from laughter "It is only logical that Yang has set her crosshairs, so to speak, on you as you were one to best her back at Signal from what I've been told. Now that the two of you are here and in close proximity, her hormones will undoubtedly be fast approaching a 'hormonal storm'. Which means..."

Reven lifted the pillow off his face and looked at her.

"Means what exactly."

Ophira walked over and patted him on the head.

"You're screwed... literally."

Reven groaned loudly, placing the pillow back over his face and started to scream obscenities into it. The other three in the room continued to laugh, but stopped when there was a knock on the door. Still chuckling, Ullysses walked over and opened it... to a young girl with black hair and red highlights and another girl with long blonde hair. One look at the latter and Ullysses glanced back over his shoulder.

"Oh team leader... we have company. One I suspect wants to continue what you both started earlier..."

Grinning, the blonde woman punched her left fist into her right hand.

"I KNEW HE WAS HERE!" She looked in at her prey, who was sitting bolt upright on his bed. Her companion disappeared in a whirl of roses and tackled Lyana in a hug, who responded with a smile and returned it.

"LYANA! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S YOU! YOU GOT INTO BEACON AS WELL!"

With a chuckle Lyana grinned as the reaper sat back on the bed next to her.

"Yeah, Rev and I both got in no problem. Of course, your father and uncle really made things... difficult for us."

The blonde woman, still grinning, walked in and stopped at the foot of her prey's bed, staring at him with a mischievous gleam in her lilac colored eyes.

"Ahh, Uncle Qrow and Dad are just being them... no sweat." she placed her hands on her hips, not breaking eye contact "Now then, REVEN, I do believe we still haven't completed our... 'Game', yet."

Reven gulped and quickly jumped to his feet, behind Ophira who was grinning.

"Yang... listen, we are NOT at Signal and we are NOT in your backyard... "

Yang leaned forward, showcasing her 'assets', knowing that it'll make Reven uncomfortable.

"We could continue like that time in my bedroom..."

Reven's faced paled as the young reaper squealed.

"YANG!"

"Ehh... we were five at the time Yang... we were young and innocent back then."

The smile on Yang's face grew wide.

"Oh come on Rev... what about all those times we were bathed together eh? We saw ALL of each other then... we could relive those memories now..."

Lyana, Ullysses, Ophira and the reaper, all turned and looked at Reven... who's only response, was to leap out the nearby window. Rushing, they all arrived at the window and looked down... to see Reven had landed on top of a blonde haired leader of Team JNPR, Jaune Arc, whose team was standing near in shock. Yang let out a large laugh and called out.

"NORA! MAKE SURE REVEN DOESN'T LEAVE! HE'S MINE!" she headed towards the exit of the room, looking over her shoulder at the others "Of course... we were like, five, at the time heh heh. Nice to see you all, I'll be back later Ruby... I've got a prey to hunt."

The reaper, Ruby, chuckled to herself as her sister left. Lyana sighed.

"Yang hasn't changed a bit."

Ruby looked at her friend.

"Nope and neither has Reven."

It was then, a woman stood in the doorway,glaring at Ruby.

"RUBY ROSE WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!? YOU ARE A TEAM LEADER SO YOU SHOULDN'T LEAVE YOUR TEAM BEHIND!"

Ullysses turned and looked at the woman, a smile on his face as he stepped forward and bowed to her.

"Milady Schnee, it has been awhile since we last saw each other. You are looking as beautiful as ever."

Weiss Schnee paused as she looked at the man, her teammate Blake behind her. A look of recognition flashed in her eyes as a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Ullysses Emmelin, it has indeed been some time. I am pleased to see you were accepted into a Huntsman academy of your own choosing."

The tall Atlesian smiled and tipped his head towards her and was about to respond when Reven and Yang's raised voices came through the window, causing all to turn and look.

"DON'T RUN REVEN, IT ONLY MAKES THINGS WORSE!"

"I DON'T CARE SHE DEVIL! BACK, BACK I SAY!"

"SHE DEVIL!? OH THAT IS IT! GET BACK HERE AND TAKE THIS BEATING LIKE A MAN!"

"HE WHO RUNS AWAY, LIVES TO RUN AWAY AGAIN!"

Ophira, looking out the window, smiled.

"Don't worry... I think Reven will be fine," she looked over at Ruby "Provided he can keep away from Yang."

Ruby jumped to her feet.

"Ok TEAM RWBY! We have our first mission... to retrieve our fourth member and save the leader of our fellow team!"

Weiss rolled her eyes and was about to respond, when Reven came running in to the room and slammed the door shut behind him. Not a few seconds later and there was banging on the door.

Reven looked at Ruby.

"Your sister... is so... persistent!"

Blake spoke quietly.

"Yet she is effective in combat."

Reven, Lyana and Ruby nodded in agreement as the banging stopped and was replaced by a simple knock. Taking a step back, Reven opened the door and saw Yang standing there, with Jaune and his team behind her.

With a quick step, he was behind Weiss and Blake as Yang cleared her throat.

"Ahh... Reven, we can continue our... 'reunion'... later"

Reven spoke quietly.

"Forget your little reunion and get a grip, sheesh."

Blake smirked as she heard him, while Weiss rolled her eyes and stepped forward pointing at the two of them.

"ENOUGH! We are here at Beacon Academy, one of the prestigious academies in the world which trains Hunters and Huntresses. A certain level of decorum is needed and your 'shenanigans' last night and today will undoubtedly reflect badly on Teams RWBY, ROGE and JNPR - by extension - So please, can we try to act accordingly?"

Reven and Yang looked at each other, while the members of JNPR did the same. Lyana and the others watched on in amusement and then a member on JNPR stepped forward.

"I believe that you are correct Weiss." she looked at the others in the room "As it is nearing dinner time, I propose that our three teams head to the cafeteria and get to know each other."

The other girl in JNPR stood upright, a look of horror on her face.

"Dinner time... OH MY GOD REN! WE ALMOST MISSED IT!"

The young man next to her sighed.

"They won't have pancakes for dinner Nora..."

In the cafeteria

"They DO have pancakes for dinner..."

Everyone watched as Nora was staring hungrily at the stacks of pancakes behind the counter. Ophira was staring at them as well and glanced at Nora.

"Those pancakes are mine Valkyrie..."

Nora turned to her, fire in her eyes.

"Says who?"

Ophira faced her, the same fire in her own eyes.

"They WILL be mine Valkyrie... It is their destiny to be eaten by myself!"

Nora grinned.

"Nuh uh... they ARE MINE SEPTIMI! MINE MINE MINE!"

It was then another voice interjected.

"You are both wrong... Those wonderful, fluffy delicacies... WILL BE MINE!"

Nora and Ophira turned... and came face to chest with the leader of Team NIHT, Nier Dusk. The Crocodile faunus looked down at them, grinning.

"Any objections?"

Ophira and Nora looked at each other, then back to the pancakes, then faced Nier with looks of determination etched on their faces.

"BRING IT ON GIGANTOR!"

Nier blinked a few times, then leaned down so she could stare in their eyes.

"You do realize... you have both declared... PANCAKE WAR!"

With that, the human, wolf faunus and crocodile faunus threw themselves at the counter, trying to grab as many of the pancakes as possible. Nier's teammates were watching with looks of exasperation on their faces. One turned to face the other three teams.

"Sorry, I have to apologize for my team leader. She can be rather..." she looked at her teammates "stubborn..."

Ruby smiled.

"It's ok. I'm Ruby Rose, leader of team RWBY." she turned and pointed out the others with her "This is Weiss, Blake and Yang. Next, we have Jaune, Pyrrha and Ren of team JNPR. Then there is Reven, Lyana and Ullysses of team ROGUE. The two with your leader are Nora of JNPR and Ophira of ROGE."

The woman smiled and bowed.

"Well met. I am Imara, with me is Ryell and Chea-Seon. Our leader..." She motioned over to the three students still struggling to pile up pancakes on their trays, while stealing pancakes from the others "... is Nier. She has a... appetite."

With a raised eyebrow, Ullysses leaned over to Ren.

"Is this... "

Ren nodded as he took his tray with food on and turned to walk over to the tables the rest of JNPR as well as RWBY, NIHT and ROGE were sitting at.

"Yes. Yes it will."

At the table, Reven took a sip of his drink as the others were chatting and eating. He looked over at Yang, who saw him and gave him a thumbs up, before talking with Lyana again. He turned to the young woman next to him.

"Pyrrha Nikos... I've heard of you. Even seen one of your bouts in the Mistral Tournament from last year. I have to say, I'm impressed."

Pyrrha smiled sadly.

"Thank you. I guess you think..."

Reven interrupted her.

"Forgive me for interrupting... but I don't see you as a fighter." he paused as he finished his drink "Would you like to know what I see here, at this table Pyrrha?"

Intrigued, she nodded as Nora and Ophira came back, each with a tray over loaded with pancakes.

Reven pointed everyone out.

"We have a heiress, atlesian, a weapon prodigy, her tempermental sister, a calm yet enduring man, a girl with a healthy appetite, another with the same, a third with the same, a quiet girl, a goofball, a cautious one, a friendly one, a silent one, a sister and a skilled woman." he looked back at her "Do you know what the one thing we all have in common is?"

Pyrrha looked at everyone before answering.

"We all chose to become Hunters."

With a nod, Reven leaned back in his seat.

"Whatever we were before we came here, is inconsequential. True it shaped us to what we are now, but here... we'll be tempered to be the Light against the Dark."

Reven was about to say something else, when a loud and obnoxious burp echoed forth from Nora Valkyrie's lips. She paused as she looked at everyone, a sheepish look on her face.

"Heh heh... excuse me."

With a snort, Jaune started to laugh which some spread around the table.

Later :

Team's RWBY and JNPR had said their goodnights and entered their dorms, as ROGE made their way to their dorm and entered. With a sigh, Ophira threw herself on her bed, a smile on her face.

"I am SOOOOOOO full..." she grinned "Gonna sleep well tonight."

Ullysses nodded as Lyana grabbed a small bag off her bed and entered the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind her.

"Yes, it was a good meal. Though the 'entertainment' thanks to Miss Valkyrie left a lot to be desired."

Reven, who had opened the window and was sitting on the windowsil, sighed.

"Ullysses, relax. This isn't Atlas or Dionne. We can have fun you know."

Ullysses was about to respond but thought better and just nodded as Lyana exited the bathroom, allowing Ophira to race in before the Atlesian. Lyana, in her pyjamas, walked over and got into her bed glancing at her brother.

"So... our second night at Beacon. Everything you thought it'd be brother?"

Reven turned his gaze up to the shattered moon, it's light cast down below.

"All in all sister, I'd say that we're on track... for what, I'm not sure." he looked down at her "I do know, that I'll always be here by your side Sis.."

Lyana smiled then yawned and rolled over to her side as Ophira came out in pyjamas and Ullysses entered the bathroom.

"Good night brother."

Reven nodded, then turned his gaze back to the moon. His thoughts occupying him, he failed to notice that Ullysses had gone to bed and was blissfully snoring. Glancing at his scroll, he saw that an hour had passed with him moongazin and alone with his thoughts. Sighing, he got down from the windowsill and closed the window, quietly entering the bathroom and changing clothes. As he got into bed, he looked over at his team and let a smile appear on his face.

-LINE BREAK-

Deaths-Head : I apologize for the late update and the shortness of this chapter. Things have been rather hectic as of late and with a recent death of a good friend... needed some time to reflect. I did this chapter as a intro for the characters before their first morning as (to me that is), RWBY and JNPR seemed to have known each other that morning... to a degree. So having a gathering the night of the initiation and before first class seemed appropriate.

Please consider leaving a review... it would really help. Thanks.
