Chapter 2: initiation pt. 1

Jack's POV

I wake up and smile like a jester as I reach in my bag and look down at the mixture of light and explosive dust. I put cotton balls in my ears then throw down the mixture with my eyes closed screaming, "WAKEY WAKEY EGGS AND FORCED ANAL POUNDING!" As it explodes, everyone in the ballroom is woken up and looking around as I start laughing like a jackass.

Jason just glares at me. "God DAMN IT JACK! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU TO STOP DOING THAT?!"

"I lost count after five hundred." I chuckle then duck as a pillow flies out of nowhere. I then turn to see of all things a Schnee. I growl softly.

"Please not this early in the morning."

"But Jason look. It's a Schnee bitch. Can I? Can I? Can I?" I ask as I start acting like a child.

"Jack it's too early for this." Jason says with a bit more force.

"Fine take all the fun why don't you." I sigh dejectedly.

Jason sees the Schnee about to say something but stops her. "Don't. Just don't." He says as he walks away and towards the smell of bacon.

I follow Jason knowing that where there is bacon there is pancakes. "Let's hurry up Jason! I want pancakes." I grab his arm and start dragging him towards the beautiful smell of breakfast.


Jason's POV

I sit down with a plate full of french toast and Bacon along with a tall glass of orange juice. I take one bite and sigh in contentment. I hear a lot of chatting and look up to see a girl with orange hair sitting down next to Jack while talking with her friend. She stops mid-sentence and looks over at Jack's plate. Jack looks over to her plate and noticed a stack as big as his (Which was around the length of my arm and slightly leaning over. They look at each other and smile. I groan as I realize they just became friends and anyone who's friends with Jack has to be unstable. Myself included. I look over to her friend and we just nod to each other.

"Hello, my name is Jack. Nice to meet you!" he says smiling happily then takes a bite of his pancake tower.

The orange haired girl replies in a singsong voice, "My name's Nora~" she smiles and drenches Jack's tower in more syrup using the excuse of it looked dry

Jack gets an almost evil gleam in his eye as I realize what he's about to do. "So Nora. What's your weapon? Mines a greatsword that is also an anti-material rifle."

She smiles and says, "It's a big hammer that turns into a grenade launcher."

I look to her friend. "Yes she's very destructive." I nod knowing the pain. I finish my food and go to grab Thorn, my AR15, and Ivy, My grenade launcher under-mount. I look back to see Jack still talking to the girl and sigh. I go back over and grab one of his wolf ears, essentially guiding him away as to avoid pain.

Jack whimpers, "Noooo! Jason! Let me at least say good bye to explosion buddy!"

"If I let you say goodbye you'll never leave. Now come along you."


We make it to the locker room and I grab my weapons. I look over and see Jack looking over his greatsword, Planetary destruction. I grab some rounds and two N.U.K.E. rounds just in case as well as a normal N.U.K.E. grenade that just has a pin.

"Jason should I bring one of those?" Jack asks mentioning his special round, start smiling hopefully.

"Only one. And just as a last resort."

"Ok. Oh and make sure to bring your A game." he says with a smirk.

"Are you implying I'm getting rusty?" I say with a grin. My sky blue eye turning Icy real quick. "Then let's make this interesting."

"Heh of course old man. I heard those groans and fine 100 lien who ever gets a partner before the other wins."

"Deal." I say. We head out to some platforms and we each stand on one like the rest of the students.

"For years you have trained to be warriors and today your abilities will be evaluated in the emerald forest." Starts Ozpin.

"Now. I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams." adds Goodwitch without missing a beat. "Well allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be getting teammates… Today." I hear a small 'what' at the end of the line and smile a bit.

"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." Another small groan from the end. "That being said the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years." I hear someone shout 'what' at the end and laugh a bit.

"Someone doesn't like how this works." I say looking over to Jack.

"Eh if they have a problem it's their fault, but remember get that 100 lien ready for when I win." Jack says with a smirk.

I shake my head and turn back to Professor Ozpin. "After you partner up you will 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. 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. You will guard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?"

I hear a voice at the end. "Yeah. Um.. Sir-"

"Good. Now. Take your positions."

Since me and Jack were in the 2nd and 3rd positions We both crouch down. "See you on the ground!" I say as I take off.

"You better not die asshole. I want my money. Besides who else can deal with my chaos." I hear Jack reply smirking as he gets launched.

As I fall I see a bunch of trees with a line straight down the middle. I aim at the right tree and start bouncing off trees like a pinball until I land on the ground. "That was fun. Just like that Raid on the Schnee associates house." I walk for quite a bit until I hear multiple trees falling behind me. I turn around and get ready to shoot whatever's coming but as soon as it comes out I have to roll to the side. I turn around and look... Into… Shit.


Jack's POV

As I fall i pull my great sword out as stab it into a tree to slow my fall as my feet hit the ground the tree splits in two and knocks the surrounding trees down. I sprint forward and notice Jason up ahead. Running full speed at him only for him to dodge. I slide to a stop and spin around staring straight at him. As he turns around I smirk as he frowns.

"What? Not happy to see me?" I say mock pouting.

"You're the one that shouldn't be happy." He says standing up. "We got partners at the same time. I'm just a little ticked you tried to steamroll me into the ground."

I chuckle. "True but now you don't win either and so what? I knew you would move. Besides now we'll definitely be the top team in beacon. Especially since we're on the same team"

He chuckles as well. "True dat. Now come on." We start walking and he turns to me. "Hey. you fight any grimm on the way?"

"No I wish. All I did was cut a tree in half." I sigh out of boredom. "Can something attack us? I wanna kill something." Just then I hear Jason groan and see him behind me. "What's wrong now?"

"I stepped in some shit. It's all fucking sticky and I can't get it off… Me…" I see sweat start to form on his head. "Say. Arachnee grimm were wiped out right?"

"I think so but from the looks of it some escaped." I pull planetary destruction out. "Get ready for a fight."

"Mind getting my foot unstuck first?" He says getting out his rifle.

"Sure." I walk over to him and cut his foot out of the web. "I think they're hiding. wanna piss them off?"

He smirks. "Any way in particular? I mean you are the best at that."

I smirk then switch my sword into it's railgun form then load a fire gem. "Get ready." I aim and fire at the tree where the web is denser. As the web burns I hear a loud shriek and three arachne drop. "Jason? Aren't they cannibalistic?"

"Yeah. Also got a neurotoxin. In other words. Don't get bit."

I sigh. "Great. Looks like ranged it is." I load a cyan dust crystal and fire at the closest one freezing its legs. "Jason fire at its legs break them."

"But of course." He takes aim and shoots at the joints crippling the Grimm. The second Arachne joins in and spits out some webbing. We both dodge and I load in a purple dust crystal. I look over to Jason and see him load a gravity grenade into his grenade launcher. We nod to each other and fire next to the arachne on both sides. I hear the bone plating on it's back crack before the entire grimm gets split in half. We look at the last one and noticed one thing. It was three times bigger than the other two. "Let's not waste time. Use it." says Jason and I smile.

"Oh fuck yes." I laugh insanely as I load in my fuck all round and fire it straight at the big spider. Hitting just below it, the round grows and sucks it in and after two seconds all that's left is a pile of mush.

"Well that takes care of that." Before we leave we hear a small screech. We turn around and see the crippled Arachne grimm. "I almost forgot about you." Jason says as he walks up to it. "I'm sorry buddy. How about I give you a gift." He takes out a grenade and pulls the pin. He shoves the grenade in the grimms mouth and we take off running. The only thing behind us is a giant explosion… And Grimm bits.


Stack: Sooooooo. Breakfast was… Eventful.

Leviathan: you're an ass! explosion buddy didn't get to say bye. oh and if you do that again i'll use a bigger flashbang.

Stack: You forget who's better with dust and explosions.

Leviathan: doesn't mean you have to drag me away from someone so destructive.

Stack: That's exactly what it means! I let you stay and the school would probably, most likely, be destroyed. Am I right?

Leviathan: true. we would try to figure out what would happen if she used my fuck all round.

Stack: Exactly. Now then, Hope you all enjoyed and like I said Team JNGL soon. Very soon. Till next time Stack out.
