Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Black and White Roses. Enjoy the 1000-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.
(Beacon academy, Emerald Forest.)
"The last of the teams have just been formed, Batallie Ebony has encountered Grun Rosewood. Poor boy, I can't think of them getting along easily. At least their better off than Ms. Navy." Glynda stated as Ozpin hummed.
"Mr. Flax is proving to be quite…. Interesting for someone from the Arc family." She walked over to Ozpin.
"I guess we're see who's ready soon, the teams should be reaching the temple in a few minutes… Speaking of that, what did you pick to use as relics this year?" Glynda asked.
Ozpin looked at his tablet which showed Noir and Qrow continuing to pick through the forest.
(Emerald Forest, heart of the forest.)
"I'm starting to think I shouldn't have asked you for directions." Noir asked as he shot another Beowolf as it lunged at them.
"Look, I apologized for calling you a kid, why are you still mad?" Qrow asked.
"Because we're lost, Summer and your sister have to have found the temple by now." Noir replied as they continued to walk.
"Do you know where we are going?" Qrow asked as they continued to pick their way through the bushes.
"Yes, I saw the temple when we were in the air. It's this way." Noir stated.
Qrow sighed.
"Oh, don't act like you know the way, I've asked you 5 times where to go. At least I'm not acting like I can do everything!" Noir yelled.
"What do you mean?" Qrow asked as Noir pushes his way past a bush.
"It means I am getting fed out with you trying to act like your better than me." Noir responded.
"Let's just keep moving." Qrow said as Noir rolled his eyes.
"Oh look, we should go this way, kid! I can't let you have all the fun! I can't tell when your joking or insulting me by acting like I'm a baby." Noir hissed.
"I'm not treating you like a baby!" Qrow shot back.
"Then treat me like a partner and not cannon fodder for you to look good besides!" Noir yelled as he stormed off into the forest.
"I'm not trying to make myself look good…" Qrow said as he followed, aware that Noir couldn't hear him.
(Emerald Forest, Temple.)
"This looks like the place." Raven said as Summer leapt down and rolled to land next to her. The duo walked up to the temple, Summer stopping only to take in the sights.
"Chess pieces?" Summer asked as they looked at the pedestals.
"Some of them are gone. I don't think we were here first." Raven responded as Summer examined one.
"Think we should pick one up?" Summer asked.
"Yes." Raven responded as she scanned the area.
"Hmm…. What about the knight pieces… I don't see a rook piece." Summer said as she grabbed a knight piece as Raven hummed.
"Where's Noir? He should be here by now." Summer asked as Raven put her hand on her blade.
"Perhaps the Beowolves got him." Summer glared at Raven.
"They wouldn't, not Noir." Raven nodded as Summer looked at the piece in her hand.
"This was easy." Raven laughed and grinned.
"Well, the temple stands out like a sore thumb." Raven responded as Summer tucked the piece inside her cloak.
"Let's go find Noir and Qrow." Raven hummed before a roar cut through the forest like a knife.
"That was a beta or higher-class Grimm." Raven whispered as Summer didn't respond as she turned her head towards the trees.
"Summer, what are you trying to look at?" Sumer turned back to Raven.
"I can tell Noir and Qrow will be here soon." Raven's eyes widened as she pulled out her sword and scanned the area again to make sure none of the Grimm could attack them unprepared.
"How do you know they will be here soon? We haven't seen them since we've landed in the forest in the first place." Raven asked as Summer smiled.
"Trust me, I know. If anything, those Beta class-Grimm are the result of Noir and Qrow, Raven. That means that those two will be here within a few minutes." Raven shook her head.
"My brother maybe, but not Noir."
Raven coldly replied as Summer ignored her and focused on the trees where she was beginning to see gunfire at the edges of her view as she reached inside her cloak and touched Winter Thorn as she slowly began to pull the weapon out, moving her snow colored cloak out of the way as she did so.
"How do you know this anyway?" Summer's eyes flashed but Raven was unable to see it with Summer's cloak blocking half of her face.
"Trust me, I know. I've been in areas like this before, I can tell what Noir's footsteps sound like and the sound of his weapon being fired. I never forget the sound of a weapon." Raven was silent as a small noise could be heard.
"Is that the sounds of wings?" Raven asked as the two huntresses in training listened.
"Qrow, shoot it!" A voice said as the gunfire got closer.
"I'm trying that flying turkey is too fast!" Another voice said.
"Noir?" Raven asked.
Author notes
Yep, this chapter was… Also, short because the thing it was based on was short, I will post a normal chapter after this. I want to point out three things.
Summer and Noir will be dating by the dance next arc.
Summer and Noir will become friends with Qrow and Raven soon.
RWBY, JNPR and a few others from the show will be in show with some added changed. Until next time, Lighting Wolf out!
P.S: About the names, I'm trying to find colors to match a team name I want to make… And Rosewood has no connection to Summer or Ruby. And I will show off the other characters next chapter. And if this chapter was awkward, I am sorry, I was trying to set up next chapter be mostly one giant fight.
