Chapter 5: The Entrance Exam-Part 1
~Third Person~
Erik walked into the Secretary Room right before Ozpin's room. Professor Goodwitch was sitting at the desk in the middle of the room. "What's up teach?"
"Mr. Anderson is already up ahead. Professor Ozpin is waiting for you." Great, interrogation time. Wonderful... Erik thought. Professor Goodwitch opened the doors leading to the majestic clockwork that is Professor Ozpin's office. There was a pendulum right above his office, you have to admit that would be awesome to have. Goodwitch walked in behind me and shut the door.
"Now since you are both here, let us solve our current issue." The sniper sat next to Caleb who had a black eye.
He turned my attention to Ozpin. "What did jackass do this time?" Woohoo, no interrogation.
"Professor Goodwitch, please show Mr. Jager the video file." Glynda walked behind Ozpin's desk and brought out a scroll. The scroll showed the inside of the ballroom, with Shiki, Ice Queen, and Paige, well mostly Ice Queen and Paige, having a debate in their pajamas. Behind the group was Caleb crouching with a bucket of water. They were so into their argument, they failed to realize Caleb there. My black haired friend threw the water on them soaking their shirts.
"W-w-was th-th-there ice in th-that!?" Shivered Paige.
"Yup! By the way, nice tits." Caleb turned to leave, but was blocked off by Ice Queen. Paige joined her side.
"Did you do that just to see our breasts!?" Weiss was clearly livid. They seemed to have forgotten how cold they are.
"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't." He answered smugly. Weiss's first reaction was to punch him in the face. The man in the suit curled up into a ball on the floor. Weiss kicked him in the gut while he was down.
"Pervert!" She said with one last kick. She straightened out her sleeping gown, and walked away with a hmph. "Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to go and change."
"You know, I'm all for pranks, but that was just going too far." The blue haired mechanic said to the fallen man of shadows. That was where the video ended. Glynda has a look of disgust on her face.
"All I want to know is why did you do this?" Ozpin asked Caleb.
"Pink wanted to see their boobs." He leaned over to Erik and whispered. "He wasn't the only one." A sigh escaped his lips.
"So, why did you call me here?" Erik asked Ozpin.
"Well, I figured since I needed to talk with Mr. Anderson, we could get the information we require from you two out of the way." Dammit! The bardiche wielder thought.
"So what do you need to know?"
"Well, we just need to know personal information. Birthdates. Where you were born. If you have any family." Ozpin listed.
"I was born on November 13 in an unofficial colony out by Atlas. I have a father, mother, brother, and sister. My brother is deceased." Erik said.
"I was born on January 28 in the same colony. I have a father, mother, and brother. All are alive." Caleb said.
"What was the name of this colony?" The white haired man asked.
"Harrison." The brown haired teen answered quickly.
"Alright, that is all for now. You two should go and grab your weapons. You're going to need them for the upcoming test." Ozpin smirked, taking a drink from his mug.
Shortly after the two had left, Glynda asked the headmaster the question that had been plaguing her mind. "Why did you let them go? They were obviously lying."
"They have a reason to keep their secrets. They will tell us in due time." He took another sip of his mug as he looked out the bay window.

Caleb and Erik walked into the locker room to grab their weapons to prepare. They had just gotten there in time to see a red headed girl chatting a guy with a pink highlight in his black hair. They ran out of the room before anything could be said.
"I wonder what those two are so worked up about?" Ruby could be heard up ahead.
"I don't know and I don't care." Erik responded, passing her by. Caleb and Erik's lockers were only a few away from Ruby and Yang's. Caleb chose this spot so he could get a good look at Yang.
"You seem awfully chipper this morning." Yang said to Ruby.
"Yup, no more awkward small talk, or get to know you stuff. Today I get to let my sweet heart do the talking." Red swooned over her weapon.
"If you don't wanna talk to people, bring a book around, or put your hood up. That's what I do." Erik continued to be ignored.
"Well, remember Ruby, you're not the only one going through initiation. If you wanna grow up, you're gonna have to meet new people and work together."
"Yang, Caleb thought about your breasts all night, last night." The brown haired teen stated sternly.
"Dude!" The suited teen yelled behind me.
"Ugh... You sound like dad!" Ruby put her weapon back in the locker. "Ok, first of all. What does meeting new people have to do with fighting? And secondly, I don't need people to help me grow up. I drink milk."
"That's it! I'm going somewhere I'm appreciated!" Erik yelled grabbing Rolling Thunder , slamming his locker shut and stormed out of the locker room.
"What's his problem?" Yang looked to him.
"Might be that time of the month again. I'm going to see what Jaune is up to." Caleb passed her by.
"You know what else is great? Me. Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you." Jaune leaned in between Weiss and a truely red headed girl. To say the least, she looked like a Spartan warrior.
"You stole my line." The suited teen got between Jaune and Weiss.
"You again?" Ice princess stated angrily.
"Nice to meet you Jaune Arc and...?" The red head jumped in.
"Caleb Anderson, milady." The black haired teen bowed. The blonde swordsman brushed pass.
"So, Weiss. Couldn't help but overhear your fondness of me the other day." Jaune flexed.
"Oh you have got to be kidding me."
"Don't worry, no need to be embarrassed. So, been hearing rumours about teams. Been thinking you and me will make a good one. What do ya say?"
"Actually, I think the teams are comprised of four students each, so..." The red head added.
"Ya don't say." Jaune turned his attention to her. "Well, hot stuff. Play your cards right and you could join up with the winning team."
Weiss got in between the red head and the swordsman. "Jaune, is it? Do you have any idea who you are talking to?"
"Not in the slightest, snow angel." Jaune leaned in.
"Nope." Caleb simply stated.
"This is Pyrrha." Weiss introduced the newly named Pyrrha.
"Hello again." The spartan said.
"Pyrrha graduated at the top of her class at Sanctum."
"Never heard of it." Caleb and Jaune said.
"She's won the Mistral Regional Tournaments four years in a row. A new record." Weiss stated smugly.
"The what?" The suited teen and swordsman were oblivious.
"She's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box." Weiss flailed her arms about.
Jaune gasped. "That's you!? They only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters!"
"I don't eat cereal." Caleb deadpanned.
"Good thing. The cereal isn't good for you." The spartan said.
"At least one of you knows who she is." Ice queen was angry.
"I'm sorry dear. I'm a merc, not a scholar." Caleb stated.
"Don't you ever call me dear again!" She was even angrier.
"I think I'm going to head out before Weiss castrates me." The suited teen slowly backed away. When he got to the doors, he turned around to see Jaune being flung through the air.
"Will all first year students please report to Beacon cliffs for initiation."The intercom said over the clang of metal. Caleb turned back around to see Weiss and Pyrrha coming his way.
"Best time to high tail it out of here before my fear becomes reality." Caleb ran through the doors.

~Erik's P.O.V.~
We were waiting up on Beacon cliff's for the rest of the freshmen to arrive. Headmaster told us to stand on some strange plates with Beacon's sigil in the ground while we wait. Down the hill, Ruby could be seen helping Jaune up the mound. Wonder what happened to him. When they reached the top, Ozpin started his speech.
"For years, you have trained to become Warriors. And today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."
Glynda continued, "Now I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Welp, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates, today." Some grumbling could be heard down the line.
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of time here at Beacon. So, it is in your best interest to be paired with someone whom you can work well." More grumbling. "That being said. The first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years." Ruby could be heard from down the line. "After you have 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."
"Sounds like fun!" I heard Caleb exclaim two panels to the right of me.
"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. Are there any questions.?" Ozpin asked almost rhetorically.
"Yeah, umm... sir?" The nervousness in Jaune's voice was apparent.
"Good! Now take your positions." The headmaster ignored the swordsman.
I crouched like everyone else was doing, oblivious to what was to come. The closer I got to the plate, a ticking sound became audible. It seemed only to get louder, and the next thing I knew, I was flying through the air.
"OH SHHHHHIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTT!" I screamed in horror as I soared across the horizon.

So, yeah sorry about it being so short. Initially my internet went out, because AT&T is godlike. Then school started at the same time work did. By the time I get done with work, I'm too tired to write. And I have been playing more League than usual lately. Plus, been watching Worlds (I was depressed that Curse wasn't going to Worlds(I'm a Voyboy and Xpecial fan, plus I don't like the new TSM)).
