I do not own RWBY
Initiation
Waking up I look around and see that it's still dark outside and all the other students are still asleep. Looking at my scroll I see I woke up an hour before my alarm. Currently 4:57 I get up and pack my things before making my way to the gym to try and kill some time.
Arriving at the gym I'm amazed at all the equipment the school has really everything you could possibly need for a workout you have. Starting to do some push-ups and running laps.
After a while I lose track of the time. However my attention is brought back to the gym entrance when I hear someone approaching. Stopping what I'm currently doing I look at the door.
To my surprise it's not another student but the headmaster and his assistant.
"Up early Mr Swart." He says taking a sip from his coffee mug. "I prefer to just be called Drake." I say wiping sweat from my forehead. "And why would that be." He says looking at me
"Well, I don't deserve to be called that." Getting a curious look from his assistant. Glynda Goodwitch I remember her my mother was on the same team as her and visited our house a couple of times.
"Why would you think that?" He says looking me up and down. "Because...if you would excuse me I have to get ready for the initiation." Not waiting for a reply I grab the rest of my stuff and make my way to the locker room.
After taking a shower I start putting on my combat outfit. It's still 6:05 so I'm still alone in the locker room the first students probably only waking up right now. Making sure everything is secure and all my tattoos and scares are covered up I close my locker. Making my way to the cliff sight waiting for the other students.
After listening to my music and checking my pistol for the sixth time the first students arrive together with the headmaster and Goodwitch. After waiting a little while longer on the last students the headmaster started his instructions.
"For years you have trained to become warriors. And today your abilities will be tested in the Emerald forest." He says with his coffee cup in hand.
"Now I'm sure you all have heard rumours about the assignment of teams. Let me put an end to your confusion you all will be given teams today." Goodwitch says holding her scroll.
"These team mates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it's in your best interest to choose someone you can work well with." Ozpin says
"That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the coming 4 years."
"What!" I hear Ruby yell in shock.
"After having partnered up make your end to the northern end of forest. You will meet opposition along the way do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path. Otherwise you will die. You will be monitored an graded for the duration of your initiation. But nobody from the staff will intervene. You will find an abandoned temple containing several relics. Each pair must choose one relic and return it to the top of the cliff. This will count for your standing and grade. Are there any questions?"
I raised my hand looking at the headmaster.
"Mr Swart what is it?" Looking to the other students before speaking. "Yes we are with an uneven number of students." I say getting the attention of the other students.
"All of that is taking into account." He says taking a sip from his coffee. "Any other Questions?" Jaune raised his hand. "Yes...uhm sire..."
"Good everyone get in position." Totally ignoring Jaune. Preparing myself, I crouch down on the platform closing my eyes and waiting for it to start.
I hear other students being launched. Before I hear gears turning under me. Moments later I was also launched feeling the wind blowing in my face.
Opening my eyes I draw my katana. Looking at the incoming trees I position myself so I decrease speed. Falling trew the leaves I stick my katana in the tree trunk. Landing on the ground safely. Looking around I start heading north.
A couple of minutes into my walk I hear growling coming from my left and right. Seconds later six Beowulf surround me. "Well looks like you are my warmer up for the day." In the blink of an eye I pull my gun emptying the magazine killing all six of them with one bulled to the head.
"Not much of a challenge." I say before hearing a loud growl coming from behind me. Looking I see the Alfa looking at me. Spikes on his back and at least three times the size of the normal ones.
"Well I guess you're the leader?" I'm answered with a loud growl. "You kiss your mother with that mouth."
Running forward my katana in hand. He swings at me but I duck under his claw. Sliding along the ground and under the grimm, taking my weapon and stabbing it in the belly cutting it but not killing it. The grimm turns around swinging at me. Ducking and evading all his attacks till I see an opening. In one swift motion I beheading the Alfa. "Didn't even break a sweat." I say before continuing heading north.
Cliff site
"It looks like the last pair has been formed." Glynda says looking at her scroll. "So who is the last student who still hasn't an partner?" Looking at her scroll changing between cameras before she finds the right one.
"It seems Mr Swart is the one student who didn't find a partner." Ozpin looks at the forest seemingly deep in touted. "Hmm it seems he defeated a hole pack of Beowulf by himself including the Alfa in under two minutes." She says looking at her scroll. Shock ridden on her face. "So he is definitely much better trained that his transcript says.
"It would appear so... Do we already know what his semblance is?" Looking at her scroll seeing the boy cut down everything that crosses his path. "He definitely has the skill of his mother. However not the same way off using the katana. He's more...sloppier you could say." Humming in agreement Ozpin looks back at the forest.
With Drake in the forest
"Come on is nothing gonna prove a challenge." I say to myself killing another creep who taught he could sneak up on me. Making my way trew some bushes I come in the middle of a girl opening with in the middle ruins of an old temple.
Arriving at the temple I see a lot of chess pieces.
"Well non are taking so I guess I'm the first." Looking at all pieces. My eyes fall on the pawn piece.
"Seen as the weakest piece on the board, however play your cards right and the pawn can win the whole game." Taking the piece I turn around and make my way back to the cliff.
After about 10 minutes of walking and killing some Grimm I arrive at the cliff. "Now just need to get up." I say looking around to see if there isn't a path or something. "Climbing it is then." I mutter but before I can even begin a deathstalker accomplished by a two ursa's come charging out of the tree line.
"Well let's see if you guys can put on a fight." Taking out my katana and gun.
Deciding I need to deal with the ursa's first I start running to the one on the left. Right when I'm in reach of his claws I jump over him. Landing behind him I quickly turn around waiting for him to do the same. When he does he exposes his neck to me, not hesitating I quickly cut off his head.
Ducking under an incoming strike of the other one I roll to the side. Taking my gun and shooting him right in the eye. 'Thank you Indigo for those shooting practices.' I think watching his body hit the floor. Standing right in front of the deathstalker. It try's to hit me with his claws. But I do a couple of backflips getting out of range forching it to use his stinger.
But right when it's stinger is above his head I shoot the part connecting it with his tail. Making it fall off and crushing his own head.
Reloading my gun I turn back my attention to the cliff. Climbing it was easier than expected doing it in a good five minutes.
"Ahh Mr Swart I believe you have something for me." Ozpin says before I handed him the chess piece.
"Good would you like to watch your class mates complete their initiation?" He says showing me a scroll.
"Yeah why not and like I told you before, I like to be called just Drake." I say taking the scroll and watching it.
Later that day
Rushel Thrush, Cardin Winchester,Dove Bronzwing and Sky Lark. The four of you retrieved the black bishop piece from this day forward you will work together as team CRDL (Cardinal). Led by...Cardin Winchester." After that the crowd starts clapping before moving
Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos and Nora Valkerie. The four of you retrieved the gold queen piece. From this day forward you will be know as team JNPR (juniper). Led by...Jaune Arc." The shock on Jaune's face is priceless. "L-led by who?" He says before receiving a path on the back from Pyrrha making him stumble forward. Every one starts laughing.
"And finally Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long. You retrieved the White king piece from this day forward you will be known as team RWBY. Led by...Ruby Rose." Also the price on Ruby's face is priceless when most of her teammates congratulate her. Weiss looks annoyed and angry.
"And now could the last student come forward please." Moving on to the stage everything falls silent.
"Drake Swart, you retrieved the black pawn piece and finished the initiation in record time. From this day forward you will be Beacons first support team. However seen as I need to put you on a team you will be the fifth member of team RWBY." The whole ballroom was silent most of them looking confused but some of them looking my way in awe. Probably my family name.
After that I made my way together with my new team to our dorm room. All for of them have not said a word to me since the forming of the teams.
Entering the room last I see there are only four beds but in the middle of the room is a mattress. Sighing I make my way over to it and fall down on it.
"Drake?" I hear Ruby say from her bed. "Yes,Ruby." I say looking up at her bed. "O I...was just wondering if you where family from those famous hunters and huntress." Taking a deep breath before answering. "Yes, she was my mother." I say earning the attention of all the others in the room. "But I'm like really tired so can we speak about this like tomorrow or something?" I lie hoping she will drop the conversation. "Yeah me too I'm going to get changed in the bathroom." Yang says making her way to the bathroom door.
Waiting for all the others to get changed. What by the way is a very long time. I make my way to the bathroom changing and washing myself a little bit. I go to my 'bed' and fall asleep.
The end
