Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter Black and White Roses. Enjoy the 1150-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum do.
(Beacon Academy, City of Vale.)
"So, you ready for this whole test Ozpin has cooked up?" Noir asked as he leaned against the lockers, Siva Darkness in its sheath on his hips as Summer grabbed Winter Thorn and strapped it to her back.
"Yep, just worried a bit is all, Noir." He looked at her.
"About the team thing?" She nodded.
"I don't want to end up with Raven, she's nothing but a stuck- up brat." Noir nodded.
"Yeah, but hey, maybe we're get lucky and get paired up together, we make a good team, Summer." The white cloaked girl laughed as if she had just heard a joke.
"Yeah, you getting your butt kicked was a good distraction." The two teens looked over to see Raven and Qrow speaking to each other as well as Flax.
"I'm kind of nervous about all this, Summer, Haven didn't have a whole 'initiation test'…. And I heard there will be four- man teams." Summer frowned upon hearing this.
"Really? This is going to suck… I am not what you call a 'people person', Noir…. At least with people I don't know…" Both teens looked at Qrow and Raven and frowned.
"Or like, what about you? My mother used to say, 'better to work with a friend then try and make your enemy an ally." Summer asked as Noir crossed his arms.
"I'd rather have you as a partner, I don't need backup, I need a friend… And an awesome sniper to go with my gun slinging ways." Summer laughed as this.
"Ok then, so, look for you when get to the forest?" Noir nodded as he began to walk away.
"Yeah, I'll look for you as soon as we reach the ground." Noir said as he tripped and fell only to look up and see Flax in front of him.
"Oh, hey Flax. What are you doing here? It's nearly time for the initiation." Flax nodded as the two climbed to their feet.
"Yeah, I was just looking for my locker to get Crocea Mar and then talk to one of the girls… I think they like me." Flax whispered as Noir smirked and crossed his arms.
"Yeah, knock them dead, ladies man." Noir patted Flax on the back as Summer walked over.
"Think he has a chance with them?" Summer asked as they watched Flax talk to a girl with brown hair and Raven before the girl used a claymore to pin Flax to the wall as Summer and Noir flinched.
"Nope." Noir put in, the girl wore light blue armor over a jacket, a pair of red jeans, combat boots, red fingerless gloves and 2 necklaces of a pair of eagles. Noir saw grey eyes look at him as she pulled her weapon out and apologized before walking away.
"Well, I think that went well, don't you, Summer?" Noir joked.
"Hmm, yes I did indeed." Summer teased as they helped Flax up.
"Very funny, shorty." Flax quipped as Summer huffed.
"Hey, I drink my milk and eat healthy just like everyone else… Plus, I wasn't the one nailed to the wall." Summer joked as the intercom turned on.
"Would all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation? Again, all first-year students report to beacon cliff immediately." Glynda said as Summer and Noir shared a look.
"Game time, Flax." Noir said as he saw a boy with silver hair, a purple vest, black dress pants and blue sneakers, and slicks of red in his hair along with gold eyes and a red-haired girl with a blue jacket, grey jeans, pink sneakers and pink eyes.
"Ok, let's get going." Summer said as she and Noir ran outside.
(Beacon cliffside, 10 minutes later)
Noir and Summer cracked their hands as Flax looked at them before Ozpin spoke up.
"For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Glynda spoke up after him.
"Now, I'm sure many of you have hear rumors about the assignment of 'teams'. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates…. Today." Summer and Noir grinned at each other.
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time at Beacon. So, it in your best interest to be paired with someone whom you work well with." Noir heard some people groaning as Ozpin continued his speech.
"That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."
"WHAT!?" Noir and Summer screeched out.
"After you've been partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy anything in your way… Or you will die."
Noir Saw Flax flinch at this but tried to mask it.
"You will be monitored and graded through 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 it to the top of the cliff. We will reguard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?" Ozpin asked as Flax held up his hand.
"Good, take your positions!" Ozpin yelled as Flax waved his hand.
"Um, Mr. Ozpin?" Noir spun Siva Darkness as Summer Readied Winter Thorn in her hand.
"Mr. Ozpin, I have a question." Flax asked as Raven was flung into the forest.
"Your dropping us off, that's what the landing strategy is, right? Parachutes and all that, right?" Flax asked.
"No. You will be falling." Ozpin stated.
"Yeah… Ok." Flax stated as the red-haired girl and Sliver haired boy were fired into the forest. Summer turned to Noir and waved as she was fired into the forest, Noir grinned as he spun his revolver before being flung.
"So, what's this landing, straegyyyy!" Flax yelled as the pad launched him as Ozpin calmly sipped his coffee.
"I love this so far!" Noir yelled in glee.
Author notes
And another chapter down, I'll explain why Summer and Raven don't get along next chapter. I am also trying not to make Flax like Jaune, he's just not used to school is all. Also, Noir's gun is like a hand cannon from Destiny, powerful but with a lot of recoil.
Anyway, I may post one or more chapters today. But I want to warn people next chapter will be short since it will simply be pairing Noir up with his partner. Until next chapter, Lighting Wolf out!
