One person has correctly guessed who Harry is based on he is also the only other person who knows the truth of remnants backstory.
Jaune stopped as Harry held up his hand to stop them. "We go around." he ordered as they reached a small dark canyon that they needed to walk across to get to the temple.
"What? Why?" Jaune asked looking down at the crevice. "Is it another Death Stalker?"
"No." he shook his head. "But whatever it is I have never sensed it before and there are a lot of them."
"How many?" Pyrrha asked drawing Miló and shifting it into a sword.
"Easily several dozen I can't tell how many exactly I have never sensed so many in one place though." he said swallowing nervously even if he wanted to he couldn't control that many.
"Pyrrha look out!" Jaune called as from one of the smaller crevices around them a long thin barbed leg reached out to strike her. Acting with speed that surprised even him he swung his sword and cut off the leg causing whatever it was to let out shrill cry of anger.
Harry Immediately pulled out his twin pistols, as he sensed the Grimm in the crevice begin to move. "Get ready they're coming!" Harry warned as the first leg of these creatures reached the top of the canyon.
Glynda's eyes widened when she saw the Grimm that were coming out of the crevice. "But how? we never found any Spithra anywhere in the forest." despite what many believed they did clear out the forest right before an exam to make sure there was nothing to dangerous in there. No Grimm to powerful for a group of students to handle, they were here to train them not kill them.
"I do not know but I do know this is not good." Spithra were too deadly for students to deal with because they were unique for Grimm, they did lay eggs and reproduce and they did so in mass and incredibly fast in a year they could become over a hundred strong and in two over a thousand. Though easy to kill their deadly factor came from two things the fact that they swarmed in mass over whelming the target quickly and their poisonous bite. For a normal person a single bite would paralyze them completely for a huntsmen they could take around three or four before their aura gave out. "We must hope that they can deal with it." Ozpin said taking sip from his coffee. Even if he wanted to he wasn't allowed to interfere in the exam which meant unless the Grimm left the forest he could nothing. but he did have faith in them they all had great potential.
Harry and Pyrrha shot the Spithra as they rose out of the crevice but it seemed for every one they killed another dozen were there to take it's place.
Jaune swung his sword at any that managed to avoid their gunfire. "There are too many!" Pyrrha said as she reloaded once more. "We must retreat."
"We can't!" Harry as he turned around and shot a Spithra that that was sneaking up behind them. "We're surrounded."
"Pyrrha, Harry!" called Jaune as he looked for a way out of the situation. "Do you two think you can take down the two big trees by the edge?"
"What are you planning Jaune?" Harry asked as the Grimm slowly encircled them.
"Just do it!" He ordered surprising both of them. Harry dashed towards the left tree and cut it down with Legion as Pyrrha did the same with the other jumping over the Grimm to do so. Once they did they saw what he plan was the crevice was small enough that it was block off by the trees stemming the flow of Grimm, not so much that they burst through the trees and continued on but not so small that it did nothing.
"Nice one Jaune! But were aren't home free yet!" there were still plenty of Grimm to deal with.
"I'm out!" Pyrrha said as she ran out of ammo and switched Milo to sword form to push back the Grimm.
"Me too!" Harry said as he switched to Scythe-Legion and cut down the Grimm. "We need to get out of here now!"
"WEEEEEE~!" came a loud female voice that quickly drew closer. "BOOP!" the girl who apparently wielded a hammer slammed into the ground sending all the Grimm flying back. The girl stood up with a smile and placed the Hammer on her shoulder, she had orange hair and wore the common armor/clothing combination of most Huntsmen, with a heart cut out in the middle of her chest. "That was fun can we do it again!" she asked with an excited look on her face.
"No Nora." came a resigned voice as another person walked onto the scene he was dressed in eastern style clothing with black hair and a pink streak running through it.
"But Ren~"
"No Nora." he said not budging.
Nora sighed and slumped. "You never let me have any fun." she pouted.
"That's because your definition of fun is our definition of suicide."
She shrugged, "Eh potato patato."
Ren ignored that and turned to the group of three Nora had rescued. "We should get out of here the Grimm and regrouping." he said casting an eye around the spider like Grimm that were slowly crawling back to them.
"You're right thank you for your aid." Pyrrha said with a smile.
"No problem I'm sure you would do the same."
They began to move not wanting to get trapped again, as they did so the trees Harry and Pyrrha had collapsed over the crevice began to crack. "We should definitely get moving." Harry agreed as they began to run away from the cracking trees and the now group of five began to head towards the temple.
Just as they got out of sight of the crevice the trees blocking the cave burst apart and a leg larger than three of Spithra combined stretched out.
The group ran towards the temple with great speed the spider Grimm still chasing after them. They reached the temple in less than five minutes threats to your life tended to be a great motivator.
"Hey Yang!" Harry said as he ran up to the temple. "Great to see you have you been? Good? Great! Because we need to move now!"
"Why do we need to move?" Blake asked seeing the disheveled state of the group of five. But than she heard clicking and turned to look at the forest in area from which the teens emerged and saw Spithra crawling out of the woodwork. "Never mind let's go." she grabbed the knight piece off it's stand.
Harry looked around and grabbed the rook piece and Nora did the same. "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" she sang place the rook on her head as she danced around.
"Is that Ruby?" Harry asked looking up at the Nevermore that flew above them two blobs on it one red one white.
Than the red one let go and started falling to the earth. "Definitely Ruby." Yang agreed. "Only she would be crazy enough to jump from a Nevermore."
"Dust!" Harry called as his sister got closer to the ground, from on top of the temple the crow flew off and grabbed Ruby just before she hit the ground.
"Thanks Dust." Ruby said as she was dropped onto the ground. She pet the bird on the head with a smile.
"So who's your partner?" Yang asked looking up at the white blob still on the circling Nevermore.
Ruby pouted. "It's Weiss, I'm trying to be nice but she is so mean and always yells at me."
"HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME?!" Weiss cried from on top of the bird. It was Ruby's crazy idea that got her here and then she abandoned her.
"She is so going to fall." Blake noted with the smallest of smiles, it had nothing to do with the fact that a Schnee was going to get hurt nope nothing at all.
"She'll be fine." Ruby said with a small amount of nervousness in her voice, she really hoped she and Weiss could be friends but that seemed less and less likely as time went on.
"She is falling." Ren noted before looking at Harry. "Aren't you going to have your bird save her?"
Harry sighed and frowned. "Oh no! Dust save her!" he called in a dull bored tone. The bird looked at him for a moment before it went back to cleaning it's feathers. "Oh well I tried." he shrugged.
The girl falling seemed to panic as she fell. "Didn't she use those weird squiggle things to land safely when we had to use a landing strategy?" Jaune asked, remembering her using her semblance to create a little floating circles to walk on.
He didn't get an answer as she crashed into the ground. Luckily for her it wasn't that far of a drop and her aura soaked up most of the damage. "Why didn't your bird catch me?!" Weiss asked indignantly standing up and dusting herself off.
"Hey Dust does what he wants." Harry shrugged, Yang scoffed at the lie, true sometimes the crow would go against Harry but really the bird was a reflection of Harry. If Harry didn't like someone than Dust didn't like them, of course it was a little more complicated than that but that was the gist of it.
"Has anyone else noticed that the Spithra haven't moved?" Ren asked making them turn to the edge of clearing. He was right they weren't moving just slowly amassing at the edge of clearing almost three dozen now.
"They are waiting for an older Grimm." Harry said extending his senses. The others looked at him strangely Grimm were soulless and they were nearly impossible to sense unless they were closer than a yard or so. So it was strange to see him able to sense a Grimm that could be miles away. "I think it is the nest mother."
The Huntsmen and Huntresses in training shifted nervously before jumping at the cry of a Nevermore. "It's circling back." Blake noted shifting a bit they were boxed in the only way out was to fight.
"Than let's make the first move!" Ruby cried charging forward in a burst of rose petals. Wielding her giant scythe she sliced through four spider Grimm in a single strike before twisting around and planting her scythe in one of the Spithra that was trying to sneak up behind her.
Ruby eyes widened when she saw from the forest a giant blob of white fly at her. Acting on years of training she brought Crescent Rose to block the projectile it slammed into her and she found herself covered in webbing that held her down. Trapping both her and Crescent Rose, her eyes widened in fear as a giant spider as big as a Death Stalker emerged from the forest.
She closed her eyes and flinched away as several Spithra and the nest mother descended on her. "My God you can be reckless but I guess I'm not the easiest person to get along with." Weiss reluctantly admitted as she stood in front of Ruby, her rapier held out in front of her as several Spithra dissolved around them. "So if you are willing to work together so am I, so what do you say? Partners?" she asked slightly nervously she never had really talked to anyone who saw past her Schnee name.
"Sure!" Ruby chirped cheerfully before she struggled against the webbing. "Thanks for the save… HARRY!" she said exclaiming the last part.
Weiss looked confused until she turned around and saw a pair of glowing green eyes as well as giant pair of pincers that would haunt her nightmares. Less than a foot away from her was the nest mother.
"Get Ruby… Free… And get b-back!" Harry ordered his right arm out stretched and his eyes glowing green so brightly that it was visible even from where the two of them were standing. He growled out the words with great effort as the Grimm's eyes seemed to flash red for a moment before Harry's became even brighter and he brought the Grimm back under control. Some of the small Spithra tried to attack the duo only for the Grimm under Harry's control the crush them with it's giant legs. Weiss Immediately turned around and froze the webbing holding Ruby in place before swinging Myrtenaster at the frozen spider webs breaking Ruby free. In the places where the webbing had touched her skin she had minor burn marks.
The two quickly fell back to the others. "Move!" Ruby order the group as a mass of giant razor sharp feathers fell on the group. The teens scattered as the impacted on the ground, splitting into two groups Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang on one side and Harry, Nora, Pyrrha, Ren and Jaune on the other.
"You deal with the Nevermore we got the spiders!" Harry told them as he twisted Legion into a pair of twin scythes smaller than the single one he normally used.
The group of girls nodded before heading off the deal with the Nevermore. "Good luck!" Ruby called as she dashed off.
Harry gasped and fell to the ground as his control of the nest mother broke. "She is pissed!" Harry noted standing back up. "Let's make her angrier." Harry said before he rushed forward and sliced off the legs of a Spithra only to throw one of his scythes into second one he pulled out the second one and took off the head of another. He heard the sound of a blade piercing flesh and turned to see Ren pulling out his weapon from the Spithra he had delimbed.
"It's legs grew back." Ren said simply and Harry nodded.
Jaune stabbed one of the grimm in the mouth before he bashed his shield into the leg of another tripping as he did so breaking the leg of what he hoped was a Grimm and not his own leg. He recovered just in time to dive out of the way of the spider whose leg he just broke he smacked his shield into the face of the spider only to wince as it hit as the shock was reverberated up his arm. The movie definitely never showed that happening. He then noticed something the leg wasn't healing he then blinked when he realized what that meant. "Guys they can't heal broken legs!"
They looked over and saw the limping spider and realized he was right. "Nora!" Harry called causing her to look at him. "You see the nest mother, I need you to break it's legs." Nora's eyes lit up like she had just been told it was her birthday times a million.
Nora jumped into the air with her Hammer pulled back before shot her cannon and fired a large blast that sent her spinning towards the Grimm. "Let's Break some LEGS!" she cried cheerfully as she slammed into the center leg of nest mother.
"Ren!" Harry called tossing him one end Legion with was now a rope. "Ever been to a rodeo?"
"Let's practice our Hog tying." Ren said as they both went to one leg and the Spithra and wrapped the rope around it's legs. The cross each other and tied a leg on the opposite side.
"PULL!" the two pulled the rope and forced the legs of Spithra together causing it to fall onto it's back. The spider struggled against it's bindings and Harry and Ren stood sideways on two trees on the opposite side of the Spithra. "Kill it!" Harry ordered as he pulled the Grimm trying to break free.
Pyrrha nodded and turned to Nora. "I'll boost you!" she got down on one knee and angled the shield up Nora shot into the air and slammed into the head of the Nest mother crushing it's skull.
"Is it dead?" Jaune asked carefully staring at the dissolving body like it was going to pop up at any second and attack.
"Yeah it's dead." Harry said calling his weapon back to him. None of his team noticed as the Grimm faded away his eyes glowing green.
"...And forming team HVNL is Harry Lightning, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos and Lie Ren. Led by Harry lightning." the room exploded into applause and his sisters tackled him in a hug.
As everyone cheered Ozpin walked up to Jaune. "May I speak to you in private?"
Jaune nervously walked up the steps to Ozpin's office. He had been caught sneaking in and now he was trouble.
"Now I guess you are wondering why you were not put on a team?" Ozpin asked taking a seat and looking out the window.
"Um yeah?" Jaune admitted, nervously sweating now.
"It's because we can not have a team of one, I am afraid you will not be a student at beacon this year."
Jaune shoulder's slumped great he had made it through the test passed the exams and what stopped him wasn't getting caught but because the numbers were off. "But luckily for you an old student of mine has agreed to take you on as an apprentice at least until next year when you may try and enter again."
Jaune's head shot up in disbelief. "Sadly he is on a long term mission so you will have to stay at beacon for the time being until he returns. It may be a while so you will still go to classes and train with the other students." Jaune blinked it sounded like he was going to be a regular student any ways.
"That is all you may go." Ozpin said, Jaune walked out as Ozpin looked over many papers his eyes stopped on one of them and he picked it up, it was a sheet of music and in the corner was the same symbol that was upon Jaune's shield.
"I wonder what made him write a song about you?" He mused along looking at the boy on one of the many monitors in the room as he descended from the tower. He had learned that all of Harry's music was a prophecy each one a prediction that was never wrong. Some were harmless and predicted small days of fun, other were more serious and warned to prepare. And prepare he would.
sorry forgot to mention it is pronounced Heavenly
