Chapter 4: initiation.

The assembled students stood on the edge of the cliff, each readying themselves for the trial that was about to begin. a blond haired idiot was making a fool of himself trying to ask Ozpin a question as people began to be launched towards the forest. Chloe took a second to smirk at the fool before being launched up and away towards the emerald forest.

Max fell through the sky towards the green canopy, she activated her semblance slowing her own time stream to allow for a safe descent 'wheres Kate?' she thought ' 'they'ed never use some random system' we said 'that would be stupid' how dumb is Ozpin thinking this is a good idea'. suddenly max saw Kate come zooming out of the sky and crash to the earth, breaking several bones on the way down a golden glow burst from Kate's body healing her injuries "you know, your gonna get yourself killed doing that one of these days" said Max as she walked over and helped Kate up.

"yeah, but until that day i'll rely on my semblance to get me back up" replied Kate.

"now, we need to find that temple place" said Max "you got any idea where it is?"

"nope" said Kate "but i think its probably over the far side of the forest so we need to head that direction" she said gesturing with one hand.

"lets get going then" said Max and they set off in the direction Kate had suggested.

Chloe rushed through the forest, light filtered through the leaves and branches and dappled the forest floor, the forest was perfect , so quite and peaceful. Suddenly the air was pierced by a scream and the roar of an Ursa 'fuck, cant even enjoy this place for three seconds with out being interrupted can I' Chloe thought as she ran towards the source of the scream. She reached a small clearing to see the girl she'd talked to the other day about to be smashed by an Ursa, the girls weapon was lying out of reach across the clearing "here we go" muttered Chloe as she drew her weapon, a revolver and opened up at the Ursa, it charged towards her and she kept firing before jumping back and hitting a button that transformed the weapon in to a knife, Chloe jumped forwards and smashed the blade in to the Ursa's eye before pulling it out and smashing it down in to the Ursa's back severing its spine and finally causing it to disintegrate. "thanks" said the girl "Chloe right?".

"yeah" said Chloe "didn't catch your name"

"oh, I'm Rachel" she said.

Rachel walker over and grabbed her weapon, a scout rifle with what looked like a blade under the barrel. "how dose that work?" asked Chloe

"watch and learn" said Rachel as she hit a button on the side of the weapon causing the blade to extend from under the barrel and the lower section of the stock to fold in to the upper section forming a spear, more like a short pike actually.

"wow" said Chloe "thats pretty cool"

"yes, yes it is" said Rachel "yours don't look to bad ether though"

"yeah" said Chloe "it... it was my dads"

"he gave it to you?" asked Rachel.

"no" said Chloe "he was in the military, left it to me in his will and i got it when he died a few years back"

"oh... I'm sorry" said Rachel.

"don't worry" said Chloe "whats done is done, no way we can change that now"

"anyway, we better get to that temple place" said Rachel, hurriedly changing the subject.

"yeah, lets go" said Chloe and the two of them walked off in to the emerald forest.
