New chapter finally here! Enjoy!

It was now morning and students began to wake up and get ready for the initiation. Natsu was still asleep in his sleeping bag. Kratos, who had woken up very early, knelt down next to him and started shaking him. "Natsu. Wake up. We need to go meet up with the others."

Natsu grumbled in his sleep and covered his head with his pillow. "Go away..." Sighing, Kratos cracked his knuckles. "Very well." He quickly zipped up Natsu's sleeping bag and started dragging him out of the room. "Hey! Let me out of here, you bastard!"

Nearby, an orange-haired girl, who goes by Nora, saw what was happening and laughed before running to her sleeping friend. She looked down at him and smiled when she saw him wake up. "Wake up, lazy butt!"

Her friend, whose name is Ren, groaned as he sat up. Nora was zooming around while cheering. "It's morning! It's morning! It's morning! It's morning!" Ren sighed before standing up and walking with the cheery Nora out of the ballroom.

Sometime after these two were prepared for the initiation and left, Yang and Ruby were in the locker room preparing themselves for what was to come. "So, you seem awfully chipper this morning.", Yang said to her little sister.

Ruby chuckled a bit and smiled. "Yup. No more awkward small talk or getting-to-know-you kind of stuff." She then grabbed Crescent Rose in its default form out of her locker and hugged it. "Today, I get to let my sweetheart do the talking." Yang smiled at her sister while her arms were crossed. "Well, remember, Ruby. You're not the only one going through initiation. If you want to grow up, you're going to have to meet new people and learn to work together."

Ruby ended up grumbling in frustration as she put Crescent Rose back in her locker. "You sound like Dad! Okay, first of all, what does meeting people have to do with fighting? And secondly, I don't need people to help me grow up." She then crossed her arms. "I drink milk!"

Soon, Jellal appeared before the two and stood there right next to Yang. "Morning, you two. I see you're both ready for initiation."

Yang chuckled and turned to Jellal. "Yup. Except for Ruby." Jellal looked at Ruby. "Is that so?" Ruby turned around annoyed. "Of course I'm prepared! I just don't know why I have to meet people while fighting."

"But what about when we form teams?", Yang asked her, with Jellal nodding in agreement. "I don't know...", Ruby began to say, now slightly embarrassed. "I'll just be on your team or something..." At that given answer, Yang started playing with her long, golden hair. "Maybe you should try being on someone else's team?"

Ruby immediately marched over to her older sister while looking upset. "My dearest sister Yang, are you implying that you do not wish to be on the same team as me?" Yang quickly held up her hands innocently. "What?! No! Of course i do, it's just..." Jellal soon walked up to the sisters to sort out the situation. "I think what Yang is trying to say is that you two being on separate teams will help you getting to know other people better."

Ynag quickly nodded in agreement to what he just said. "Yeah! Maybe it will help you break out of your shell! Ruby suddenly freaked out after hearing her, Jellal nearly jumping back. "What the?! I don't need to break out of my shell! That's absolutely-"

Her sentence was sort of finished by Jaune, who was looking at a piece of paper in his hands while passing by the trio. "Ridiculous! There's no way I put my gear in locker 636 yesterday. I would've remembered having to count that high." He then passed by Pyrrha and Weiss at their lockers. "Ugh, why does this have to happen today?"

In the cafeteria of the school, Natsu and Rai were munching down a whole lot of food that they had gotten while students looked at them in shock, wondering how they were able to eat so much. Kratos was sitting across them while drinking some coffee and watching them.

"Are you guys seriously starting off your morning doing this?" Rai finished eating a chicken leg and tossed the bone aside. "Of course!" Natsu finished eating what was in his mouth. "We need a lot of energy if we're going to be fighting monsters!"

Kratos ended up sighing and picking up his book on Emerald Forest, the location of the initiation. "From what I've read about, there are creatures in this world know as the Grimm. They appear to look like the animals from our world, but are much darker and lack a heart and soul." The two Dragon Slayers stopped eating and looked at Kratos. "Grimm?", Rai asked with his brother nodding. "According to this book, the Emerald Forest where we will be in for the initiation is crawling with these creatures."

"Well, I think we can take them on!", Natsu cheered as he slammed his hands straight onto the table. "We're members of Fairy Tail! If we can take out dark guilds on our own, then we can definitely take down dark creatures!" Suddenly, the table underneath his hands snapped in half and fell straight to the ground, causing the trio to sweatdrop and students around them to stare.

"Just be glad that wasn't in front of Erza...", Kratos said. Rai and Natsu nodded.

Suddenly, a voice on the intercom was heard loud and clear. "Would all first year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation? Again, all first year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately." The three slayers soon stood up and started walking to the front doors of the cafeteria. "Come on. We should go find Jellal and the others."

Soon, everyone was at Beacon Cliff standing on silver platforms with the Beacon Academy symbol on them. Professor Ozpin and Glynda were standing in front of them. "For years, you have trained to become warriors. And today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest.", Ozpin said to them all.

"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams.", Glynda stated. "Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates. Today." Ruby looked very scared. "What?"

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon.", Ozpin started saying. "So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well." Ruby became even more scared at that moment. "That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next 4 years." Ruby's eyes widen as she became extremely shocked. "What?!"

Nora then looked at Ren with a big smile and placed her hand on his shoulder. "See?! I told you!

"Partners?", Natsu asked, looking at the people next to him. "I wonder who's going to be my partner. Hopefully not Kratos..." Kratos then looked at him, obviously not hearing what he said. "What?" Natsu jolted and quickly shook his head while scared. "Nothing!" He was now chuckling nervously.

"After you've 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.", Ozpin said.

Jaune started to chuckle nervously as well before gulping.

"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. Well will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately.", he finally ended. "Are there any questions?"

Jaune slowly raised his hand to ask a question. "Yeah, um, sir-" Ozpin then interrupted. Typical of any teacher to do. "Good. Now, take your positions." Everyone started taking positions for they were about to be launched in the air by the platforms they were standing on. Jaune, however, didn't do the same and kept his hand raised. "Uh, sir? I've got, um...a question."

First to be launched was Weiss, then second was Jellal.

"So, this landing strategy thing. W-What is it? You're, like, dropping us off or something?", he asked him. Ozpin simply looked at him. "No. You will be falling."

Russel Thrush was then launched, sand soon after, so was Rai. "HERE WE GOOO!"

Jaune scratched the side of his head. "Oh, I see. So, like, did you hand out parachutes to us?" Nora was then launched into the air. "Woohoo!"

"No. You will be using your own landing strategy.", Ozpin answered him. After Ren, Cardin Winchester was launched into the air. "Uh huh...Yeah." Yang looked at her sister and winked before putting on aviator sunglasses and being launched, followed by Ruby. Natsu and Kratos then fist bumped each other. "Meet you on the other side.", Natsu told him before being launched. Kratos soon followed after him.

"So, um, what exactly is a landing strate-" Before he could finished, Jaune was thrown into the air by the platform and began flying in the air with the others while screaming. Ozpin watched them go as he sipped some of his coffee and smiled.

Hope you guys enjoyed this new chapter.

Fact about this fanfic!

I was originally going to use Gray instead of Jellal, so instead of KRNJ, it would been spelled KRNG. But instead, I realized that Gray is always used in most of the Fairy Tail x RWBY fanfics I've read before and wanted to use someone that was rarely used. So, Jellal ended up being the second choice.

Before I go, I would like to say that I am a part of a RWBY forum here on the website and if you guys want to chat or even RP with me, then come on over and I assure you that we'll be awesome friends. The forum is called RWBY: The roleplay by the assassin of hope.

See you guys next time!
