The next day arrived quickly as Cody was in the nurse's office along with Blake as she cleaned up some of the wounds he got from the battle of that Ganma last night.
Blake was using some disinfectant, but Cody was simply moving too much for her to properly clean the wound.
"I thought I told you to hold still?" She asked him, slightly annoyed.
"It's not my fault. It stings..." Cody complained.
"Don't act like such a child... just relax okay?" She asked him.
He sighed slightly, as he finally stopped moving and let her clean the wounds up.
"So will you tell me everything now? You have been dodging my questions ever since you woke up..." Blake asked as she then bandaged his head up.
But just before anything, Yurusen popped in. "You should just tell her most of it Cody. It's the least you can do since she helped you out." Yurusen stated as he floated down next to them.
Cody sighed again, knowing she wasn't going to let it slide. "Fine... but only if you promise not to tell anyone at all Blake." He asked her.
Blake nodded as he then brought out the Eyecon's again as he placed them on the small table next to them in order.
"Well... long story short, these are Eyecon. Special unique items that contain souls of heroes... Musashi and Edison." Cody explained to her.
Blake looked at them before picking up Ore as she looked at it closely. "And what about this one?" She asked.
Cod sighed slightly at the question. "Well... to put it straight... That's me... My soul in their..." Cody answered softly.
"Your soul? But how?" She asked him.
Cody gripped his shoulder as he looked back at her. "I... Don't want to explain it right now..." He answered her softly again.
Blake looked at his expression for a minute before nodding and putting Ore back down.
"Then what about the Ganma? Can you at least tell me about them?" She asked him as she crossed her arms.
"Well... truth be told.. I only know a bit about them..." Cody replied, not fully knowing the answer himself.
"Then tell me what you do know?" She asked him.
"They are some kind of spirits from another dimension. I don't know how they come into this world, all I know is that once they do, they bond to something to alter their appearance and abilities." Cody explained as he held up the rusty katana that the Ganma possessed.
"As well as gain the skills from whoever used it as well. They can even summon up lower tier Ganma as minions. But sides all that, thats all I do know of them. Their plan is something I have no clue on. The only thing I know is that it involves my Eyecons. And if they should get them, then not only Remnant could be in danger, but I could lose at living again..." He explained to her as he put away the Eyecon's.
Blake looked at him and Yurusen. Although this tale is too far-fetched to believe in... She saw what he could do and what those Ganma are capable of... If she wasn't their, then she would have a hard time believing anything he said.
"Alright then... I believe you." Blake answered as she stood up.
She then looked back at him. "And don't worry... I'll keep this to myself. After all, we all have secrets we like to hide..." Blake replied softly.
"Now.. we better get back. Today is the day we are taking the initiation test after all." She smiled softly before heading out.
Cody smiled back as he stood back up and stretched.
"You sure, we can trust her Cody?" Yurusen asked, concerned.
"Of course we can. She gave no indication that she was lying to us." He answered as they started to head out of the nurses's office.
After all... If she did try to tell others, without any proof, others would just pass it off as if she was crazy... Cody thought to himself as he head outside.
But as soon as the doors close, a shadowy figure appeared in the room. It looked around slightly before finding the rusty katana as it took it away.
(Insert opening song - This Will Be The Day - RWBY Vol.1 Opening)
The start first starts off with a guitar strumming a bit before the lyrics start.
[They see you as small and helpless. They see you as just a child]
The screen shifts to Cody sitting upon a rooftop in the middle of the night. He sits their as he looks at the Ore Eyecon in his hand.
[Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild]
Something then goes amiss as Cody quickly looks up to see a fire outbreak near by. He then smirks as he jumps off of the roof.
[Prepare for your greatest moments. Prepare for your finest hour.]
The title card the appears as it shines a bit before shifting down after Cody.
[The dream that you've always dreamed is, Suddenly about to flower]
As Cody runs through the road, he passes by a single rose in a pot, a snowflake in a store, a cat in an alley way, and finally a single ember flicker from a window of an occupied house.
[We are lightning]
Once he reaches the area, four shadows appear above him. Cody stops to see the shadows land in front of him.
[Straying from the thunder, Miracles of ancient wonder]
In front of him were Team Rwby smiling at him. Cody then smiles back as he grabs the lever of the Ghost Driver on his waist and pushes it in to don on the Ghost Damashii.
[This will be the day we've waited for, This will be the day we open up the door]
Fight then breaks out as Cody and Team Rwby are fighting against the Grimm and the Ganma as they clash it out together.
[I don't wanna hear your absolution, Hope you're ready for a revolution]
As they fight them, Team JNPR drop down to assist them as they battle some more highly evolved Ganma.
[Welcome to a world of new solutions, Welcome to a world of bloody evolution]
As both teams fight their enemies, Roman is standing on a roof near by, watching them fight along with Ara and his benefactor as they grin from ear to ear about some special plan they have in-stored for them all.
[In time-your heart will open minds]
As the fight continues, the teams are surrounded by Ganma and Grimm as they approach them all. And out from the distance is Ozpin watching them all along with Sennin as he smiles and offers them some power.
[A story will be told , And victory is in a simple soul]
Energy flows into Cody, Team RWBY and JNPR. They all then nod at each other as Cody activates his OmegaDrive. They all then jump at the enemies, delivering their own special attack as Cody flies at the screen with a rider kick, smashing through and showing the title card one last time.
After Cody got back with Blake, Ruby walked up to him along with Yang and Weiss who were looking away slightly.
She then turned to them as she placed her hands on her hips. "Now... do you two have something you wanna say to him?" Ruby asked them.
They both looked at each other before letting out a long sigh. "We're sorry." They said in unison, sounding displeased.
"And?" Ruby added on.
"And we're sorry for making you sleep outside..." They answered again in unison.
"AND?" Ruby added on, making sure they finished.
"And we promise that we won't fight each other again..." They finished in unison, still glaring at one another.
Ruby beamed at them both. "Good!" She said happily as she then turned back to Cody.
"I hope you can forgive them? It took me awhile to convince them to apologize..." Ruby said to him.
"Ah it's fine. It was our first day. Their was bound to be some sparks here and there." Cody waved it off as he smiled at them.
"Well, come on! They have breakfast waiting for us!" She beamed before disappearing in the bundle of rose pedals.
Cod blinked as he looked at round the area. "How did she even?" Cody asked them, confused.
"Oh that's just Ruby's Semblance. She is very very fast." Yang giggled.
"And the rose pedals?" He added on.
"I think she got that from our mom... Now are you coming? I saw one girl who was eating a mountain of pancakes..." Yang giggled as she grabbed his hand as she started to drag him to the cafeteria.
He just looked at Blake and Weiss with pleaded eyes. "Help me?" He pleaded to them, only to see Blake waving goodbye along Weiss waving her handkerchief at him, like he was going off into his doom.
After every student had their breakfast, they were all then gathered near a mountain ledge. Each set of students were sent down into the forest down below for their tests.
Group by group went until their was just Cody, Blake, Ruby, Yang, Weiss, Jaune and a few others left.
They stood on some tiles near the ledge as Ozpin and Glynda were standing their in front of them.
"For years, you have trained for your lives to attend this academy. You have learned, fought and overcome many things in order to attend here. And today is going to be where you put those skills to the test. Today you all will be sent into the Emerald Forest for your assignment for today." Ozpin explained as he motioned to the forest below.
"Now, I am sure you all heard of the rumors on the assignments for how we make teams. Well, for right now, let us put an end to those rumors and your confusion. For you see you will be given a partner... Today." Glynda stated, making a few of the other students in this line up feel worried.
"Psst... Yurusen? Any idea what these rumors were about?" Cody whispered as Yurusen appeared behind Cody.
"Well... the rumors usually arranged from scores, to the skills of the students in this line. Strongest get paired with the other strongest, most adaptable went with the most strategic, and the weak went with the least popular and so on. Even some rumors said that they also choose from where they came from too. Guess no one could really explain the real way that they assigned teams here." Yurusen whispered back as he disappeared again.
"These teammates will will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in best interest to be paired with someone whom you can work with well. And with that being said, the first person you make eye contact with after you have landed, will be your partner for the next four years. And there will be no exception..." Ozpin stated, making some of the students feel uneasy and worried.
"And after you have partnered up, you and your teammate will make your way to the northern end of the forest. But of course, you will meet many Grimm along the way. Don't feel any hesitation. Destroy any obstacle that will get in your way. Or you will die..." Ozpin mentioned as he gave everyone a cold look that even Cody could feel.
"But of course you will be monitored and even graded through the duration of the initiation. And even broadcast to the other students who have passed the test. But of course, none of our instructors will intervene. You must use your own skills and abilities if you want to pass this test." Ozpin explained as he then pointed out to the far end of the forest.
"Once you made it to your destination, you will find an abandoned temple. This temple will contain several relics to your mission. You and your partner must take one of the relics and return to the top of the cliff. You must guard that item. And as you make it back here, you will be graded on your performance and what your decisions have made. Are their any questions?" Ozpin asked.
"Um... I-I have a question sir?" Jaune asked softly, seeming that Ozpin didn't even hear him.
"Alright! Take your positions." Ozpin shouted out as most of the students got ready for what is to come.
"Oi Cody! You better get ready!" Yurusen shouted out to him.
"What for?" He asked as he turned to him.
"Duh! For the launch pad!" He replied.
Cody's eyes widened as he then looked to where the others were at, as he sees them, one by one, being launched into the air.
He understood now as he then got out the GanGanSaber, ready for the launching to begin for him.
"Uh... I was wondering... This landing strategy... So what exactly is it? Are you gonna drop us off or something?" Jaune asked, worried and shaking.
As he waited for the answer, more students were being shot into the forest. Weiss was first to be sent out.
"No. You will be falling." Ozpin replied.
"O-Oh I see... So then... did you hand out parachutes for us?" Jaune asked as Blake and Yang then went next.
"No. You will be using your own landing strategy for this task." Ozpin answered.
Yang winked at Cody as she then was sent flying into the air, laughing.
Cody smirked as he then felt his own pad move slightly, next thing he knew was only the suddenly adrenaline rush that came with the send off.
He laughed and chuckled like a kid on a roller coaster as he was flying through the air, followed by Ruby.
"I see... so what exactly is a landing strateg-AHAHAHAH!" Jaune yelled out as he was sent flying last.
Ozpin just looked as they went off as he smiled slightly, while sipping his coffee, like he was waiting for that last bit to happen?
Cody chuckled as he soared through the air, slightly enjoying it?
Yurusen then appeared next to him, looking at him slightly annoyed.
"You sure like to fly don't you?" Yurusen sweatdropped.
"Only like a bit..." He smiled lightly.
"Mhm... keep telling yourself that... Anyways, don't you think you should change? No one is around to see you and you're about to hit that large tree that's coming up." Yurusen stated as he pointed to the very large tree coming at him fast.
"Whoops!" Cody chuckled as he placed his driver on and placed Ore inside it.
"Henshin!" He yelled out as he pushed in the lever.
KAIGAN! ORE!
LET'S GO! KAKUGO!
GHO-GHO-GHO-GHO-GHOST!
GO-GO-GO-GO-GO!
Cody donned on Ore as he used then used his weapon to pierce the tree that came up, the momentum then helped him spiral down the tree until he landed on the ground safely.
"WHOO! That was a rush!" Cody chuckled as he changed back to normal.
"Says the guy who almost became jello on a tree..." Yurusen sweatdropped as he floated down next to him.
"Anyways... let's get going. We have to find the ruins." Cody stated as they began to walk.
But as soon as Yurusen started to follow, an odd chill went through his body.. He knew what this was...
"Hold it Cody!" Yurusen shouted out.
Cody turned to Yurusen, confused? "What's wrong?" He asked him.
"I sense an Eyecon... and it's close!"" Yurusen exclaimed.
Cody's eyes widened. "An Eyecon here?" He asked him, surprised yet excited.
"Yes! Now come on!" Yurusen shouted out as he started to head the opposite way.
But before Cody moved... he stopped... and hesitated... "But... what about the test?" Cody said softly.
"Ahh... forget that test. Isn't getting your life back more important?" Yurusen asked him.
Cody looked down on the ground as he started to think it through.
As he did, a small camera on one of the trees zoomed in on him. And from the other side of the feed was Ozpin and Glynda.
"You sure this is a good idea Ozpin? I know that he needs these... but is placing one of them in the forest a good thing? Who knows what it can do to a Grimm." She asked him, concerned.
"I am sure about this Glynda... After all. This is my own personal test for him." Ozpin replied as they continued to watch Cody, struggle with this task as he just stood there, deep in thought about this.
Meanwhile...
As that went on, Ruby landed on the ground as well as she darted off towards finding a partner.
Gotta find Yang, Gotta find Yang, Gotta find Yang! Was the only thing on her mind as she rushed through the forest, trying to find someone.
She called out her sister's name, hoping she would answer, but to no vale.
Oh this is bad.. Really, really bad! I need to find a partner quick... Sides from Yang, who else can I partner with? Ruby thought as she rushed past a few Grimm that she didn't notice.
Well there's Jaune. He's nice. And funny too! But... I don't think he's that good of a fighter... Ooh! What about Blake? She's so mysterious... so calm... Plus she likes books too! But then again... I'm not really sure I could hold any conversation with her... Well other then them, their is Cody! He's really nice and very confident. Yet seems like he's holding something back from us... Okay then... who else do I know at this school? There's Yang, Blake, Jaune, Cody and... Ruby was so deep in thought she rammed into someone as she knocked them down.
She groaned as she then slowly looked up tot see Weiss there. Weiss indeed saw Ruby but she just stood up and decided to walk off.
"W-Wait!" Ruby yelled out to her, only to be greeted by silence.
"But we're supposed to be teammates..." Ruby said sadly as she kicked the ground in defeat.
But in a few seconds she came back walking out as she grabbed Ruby's collar and started to drag her off.
"By no means does this make us friends..." Weiss got out, making Ruby smile brightly.
"You came back!" She said happily.
And as that went on, Yang was walking through the forest as well, calling out for Ruby's name, only to be greeted by silence.
She sighed a bit until she heard something rustling in the bushes near by.
"Ruby?!" Yang called out happily, but once she reached the bush and looked past it, she slowly looked up.
"Nnnope..." She got out before jumping back. Two Ursa Grimm came out roaring and swiping at her, but she dodged them easily.
"Hehe... you guys could even hit the broadside of... a..." Yang stopped talking as she saw a single strand of her hair fall to the ground...
Her light purple eyes turned bright red as her hair seemed to turn into fire as her fist shook.
"You... YOU MONSTER!" She cried out as she charged and started wailing on the Ursa that swiped at her hair. She sent barrages of punches at the Ursa as the last hit she gave it sent it flying deep into a mountain side.
She panted as she then turned to the second Ursa, still pissed off.
"What?! You wanna go to huh?!" She yelled out at it.
But suddenly the Ursa just collapsed, a blade stuck in it's side. And standing right behind it was none other than Blake.
Yang calmed down as she huffed slightly. "I could've take him..." She said as she crossed her arms.
Blake just rolled her eyes at Yang as they both continued to make their way to the ruins.
As the test went on for the rest of the students, Ozpin and Glynda were also still keeping watch of Cody, who seems to be in a conflict as he kept pacing back and forth.
"Seems like he can't handle the stress of this decision..." Glynda stated as they kept watch.
"He's been at it for an hour now... I don't think he is capable of such a choice... you might be wrong for once about someone Ozpin." Glynda said as she looked at Ozpin, who had a serious look on his face.
Come on Cody... Make your choice! Your decision is going to change what you can do... Ozpin thought to himself, starting to worry as well.
Cody groaned as he kept pacing around, unsure what to fully do.
"Come on... why is this so difficult for you Cody? Just go over their where the Eyecon is at, and you're one more step closer to being alive again!" Yurusen exclaimed.
"I know already!" Cody snapped out.
Cody sighed as he then slumped down on the tree. "I know just going over there will get me another step closer to getting that wish... But something just feel wrong about this... It feels... too easy." He stated as he took out Musashi and looked at it.
"If you're having trouble with that decision boy... then maybe I can help you out?" Replied a booming voice.
Cody then stood up as he saw another Ganma appear near by. This ganma carried a large spear with him. While it's body had a while vest with golden trims and spikes on it's body. And even it's head resembled the spear it wielded. It was a Yari Ganma... and it was very dangerous...
"Seriously? You just had to show up here of all places?" Cody yelled out as he took out his driver.
But the Yari Ganma quickly reacted as it thrust its spear at him, knocking the driver out of his hand.
Cody grunted from the impact as he tried to rush towards his driver, only to be stopped by the spear.
He then turned back as Yari started to charge at him. It swung it's spear and the bud of the staff as Cody parried it with his arms and legs.
But then the Ganma reached behind it's back as it brought down a sword. It sliced through Cody's clothes and flesh, making a clean cut, but it wasn't deep enough to cut through the bone. Luckily it was only the skin.
Cody yelped out from the slice as he knelled down and held his hand against the wound. "T-That sword..." He panted.
"Yes... from my brother that you killed last night, no less..." He got out as he sheathed the sword away.
Cody grunted as he tried to get up and fight back, only to be smacked to the ground and lose Musashi's Eyecon to the Ganma.
He chuckled as he picked it up as it glowed. "Now... I'll become even more powerful than before..." He said as he was about to use the Eyecon.
But suddenly something struck at Yari, making him drop the Eyecon.
Cody turned to see a odd looking device.. It was in the shape of a bird, but it had a design like an old telephone.
"Ah! Seems help has arrived! Cody, meet the Condor Denwor!" Yurusen exclaimed as Condor squawked happily before striking at the Ganma for it to back off.
Cody smiled lightly as his new ally as he then rushed towards his driver as he strapped it on.
"Henshin!" Cody yelled out as he donned on Musashi.
KAIGAN! MUSASHI!
KETTO! ZUBATTO! CHOKENGO!
Once it was one, he then drew out his GanGanSaber, Duel Mode as he quickly placed it against the driver.
DAI-KAIGAN!
GAN, GAN, MINNA! GAN, GAN, MINNA!
OMEGA-SLASH!
Cody then let out a battle cry as he struck against the Ganma, it roared out in pain as the weapon it possessed, flew off of its body before both it and its body exploded into ash.
Cody panted as he quickly changed back to normal, holding his wound.
"Grr... why... didn't my Aura stop the attack?" Cody panted as he slowly stood up.
"I have no idea... It was strange... But I suggest you take care of the wound before it gets worst." Yurusen stated as he touched the wound, causing Cody to flinch in pain.
"I think I can help you with that..." replied a voice.
Cody and Yurusen turned to see who it was? And out from the shadows came two of the students.
He had long black hair tied into a ponytail that ends midway down his back. There is a magenta streak on the left side of his hair. His eyes also matched his hair. He also wears a dark green, diagonally-buttoned, long-sleeved tailcoat that is red on the inside, with black and gold trimming and pink cuffs. The trimming goes down the right side of his torso and forms a black collar. This color scheme seems to be influenced to some degree by the lotus flower. He wears a black, long-sleeved shirt beneath the suit, and light-tan pants with black shoes.
The second one was a girl. She has short orange hair and turquoise eyes. Her clothing seems to be a mix and match of some sort, with different colors and themes. She wears a collared black vest that ends at her waist. Her signature symbol, a hammer with a lightning bolt, can be found on the back. Under the vest are two layers of clothing, colored red and light-blue respectively. She also wears a white sleeveless top that forms a tiny heart shape between her cleavage and collarbone, with a white detached sleeve on each arm. She wears matching fingerless gloves on each hand. She sports a pink skirt that starts at the waist and ends mid-thigh. Her shoes are a mix of pink and white with pink laces, displaying her symbol on their soles. She also seems to wear some sort of armor that begins in the middle of the shoulder and neck and ends by the waist. It seems she has a light-gray or off-white bow at the back of her skirt, with ribbon extending to the skirt's bottom.
"The name's Lie Ren. But you can call me Ren if you like?" Ren introduced as he got closer to Cody.
"Ugh... Cody Aldrich... and I appreciate the save..." He lightly smiled as Ren took out a few first aid supplies as he started to clean and close up the wound.
"And my name is Nora! It's very nice to meet you. Say, can I ask why you were invisible one moment and then visible the next? Is that your semblance? OH! Or are you a Ghost?" Nora asked with a bombardment of questions.
"Uhh..." Was the only thing Cody could get out as he looked at Nora then to Ren, confused.
"Don't... pay her any mind. She's always been like this." Ren sighed as he started to sew the wound shut.
Cody flinched a bit from the sewing, but he had worst. "So I take it you saw what happened?" Cody asked him.
Ren just simply nodded. "You don't need to tell me. I saw what I needed to know." Ren answered as he finished closing the wound up.
"There. That should be good until this is over. Then you can get proper treatment." Ren stated as he put away the first aid.
"Say... you wouldn't happen to try and steal my partner away from me do ya?!" Nora got out as she got too close for comfort.
"What? No. Sides, they stated the first person you see is your partner. Obviously he saw you so, I can't "steal" him away now can I?" Cody answered as he stood back up.
"Hmm... Okay!" She beamed as she hopped over to Ren.
"Come on. We'll be heading towards the ruins. Join us if you want?" Said Ren as he and Nora went off towards the ruins.
Cody looked down a bit before nodding and joining them to the ruins.
Yurusen then flew up to Cody. "You're just gonna leave the Eyecon there?" Yurusen exclaimed, confused.
"It's not going anywhere. Sides... Condor will keep a watch over it. Right?" He asked as he looked at Condor. It nodded as it flew off towards where the Eyecon is at.
"See? We'll get it later, I promise. Sides... this test is way more important right now... I can afford to not go after the Eyecon for once now can I?" Cody replied with a smile.
And from the camera feed, Ozpin smiles lightly as he starts to walk away.
Glynda looked at him, confused. "Where are you going?" She asked him.
"To the auditorium. I have Teams to congratulate." He answered her.
"But what about them?" She asked him.
"I already know whats going to happen now Glynda..." He replied as he walked back to the school.
After awhile, Cody, Ren and Nora finally reached the Ruins, along with the others.
But right after Nora came in on a Ursa... Jaune and Pyrrha came in along with Weiss after they brought a Death Stalker and Nevermore with them.
"Geez... how much trouble did you all bring with you?" Cody asked them.
They just chuckled lightly, avoiding the question. Cody just sighed as he rubbed his temples.
"It's fine... we found the ruins. We just need to grab the relics and head back." Cody stated.
"But... their is one problem..." Ruby replied as she looked back at the alter.
"There's only 8 relics... You won't be able to get one..." Ruby finished as she looked back at Cody.
Cody blinked a bit... There wasn't one for him? Does that mean, this was all for not?
But then, they all heard the ringing squawks. Cody turned to see Condor flying in.
"Condor? What are you doing here?" Cody asked it as it flew up to him.
"Woah.. what is that?" Ruby asked as sparkles filled her eyes.
"His name is Condor. He's a friend." Cody answered.
Condor flew around Cody before dropping something into his hand. But before it left, it flew around everyone as golden dust fell from it's body and landing on everyone.
"Ugh! What is it doing?!" Weiss yelled out in disgust.
"I don't know. I just met the bird." Cody answered as they looked at him with disappointment.
"Well what it's doing, it's probably has a reason... " Cody stated as he then looked down to see a crystal king chess piece.
"A chess piece?" Yang asked, confused.
Ruby then gasped. "It must've found it for you! That means you can still be in Beacon!" She exclaimed happily.
"Well, since now we all have a relic, we need to get out of here now." Said Ren as the Death Stalker got closer.
"I got this!" Ruby yelled out as she charged at it. The Death Stalker blocked her scythe attack as it smacked Ruby back.
The Nevermore then squawked as it sent several feather down upon her. Ruby was able to dodge a few until one of the feathers caught her hood.
"Ruby!" Yang shouted out in worry as the Deathstalker approached her.
Cody's eyes widen with fear, as he quickly strapped on his driver and rushed towards Ruby.
"Cody?! What are you doing?!" Yang yelled out only to feel Blake's hand on her shoulder.
"It's okay... He has this." She replied.
Weiss, Nora, Pyrrha and Jaune just looked at him confused on what that little thing can do as he got closer.
EYE!
BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA!
The Ore Damashii then flew out of the driver, surprising the ones who have never seen it before.
"Henshin!" He yelled out as he pushed in the lever.
KAIGAN!
ORE! LET'S GO!
KAKUGO! GHO-GHO-GHO-GHOST!
GO-GO-GO-GO!
Ore then flew behind him as he donned on his armor. Shocking everyone from this sudden transformation.
"W-W-What in the world?!" Weiss shouted out.
"Did that jacket just turn into armor?" Jaune asked, making sure he wasn't crazy.
The rest just nodded at him as Cody then grabbed the lever and pulled it out before pushing it back in.
DAI-KAIGN! ORE! OMEGA-DRIVE!
He then glowed orange as he then jumped at the Deathstalker, kicking it and pushing it back a bit before he kicked it into the woods.
Cody panted as he then landed and looked at Ruby, who had a shocked expression on her face.
"Cody? Is that you?" She asked him as he nodded back to her.
"Are you alright?" He asked as he pulled the feather out of the ground to free her.
Ruby could only nod, still surprised by this form he has as she looked up and down at the armor he wore.
"You! Just what in the heck are you?!" Weiss yelled out as the others ran up to them.
Yang was hugging her sister as she looked up at him, wondering the same thing.
"I'll tell the rest of the story later. But long story short... You can also now call me Kamen Rider Ghost." Cody stated to them as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Ghost?" They all said in unison.
"AHA! I knew it!" Nora shouted out as she pointed at him.
"Ugh... not now Nora.. We need to get out of here." Ren groaned.
"Right. Besides. We don't really need to fight them. We have what we came for, and now we just need to get back to the cliff." Ruby stated.
"She's right. We can hold off on the questions for now. Getting back safely is more important." Jaune replied as they all nodded.
The gang then rushed out towards where the ending point is at, but while they did, the Deathstalker and Nevermore roared out as they started to follow them.
Cody and the other ran as fast as they could as they reached the last checkpoint.
It was a bridge ruin connecting the forest with the hill side. But bellow that was what looked like a endless abyss.
"We're almost there!" Jaune yelled out happily.
But a large shadow flew past them, and as they looked up, they saw the Nevermore flying past them as it landed on the ruins of the bridge.
"Well that's just great..." Yang groaned as they Nevermoe squawked at them.
Jaune then turned to see the Deathstalker, rushing out of the forest and towards them.
"Oh man! We gotta run!" He yelled out as everyone went towards the Nevermore and the ruin.
"Nora! Can you distract it?" Jaune asked as the Nevermore flew up and started to send its' feathers at them.
Nora gave a thumbs up as she drew her weapon out. It was a grenade launcher that shot out several pink dust rounds at it.
As she did that, the Deathstalker came up behind her. But Ren and Blake were able to push it back slightly as they made a run for it.
"Come on! Hurry!" Yelled out Ruby as everyone made it to the small part of the bridge.
But as soon as the reached it, the Nevermore circled back as it rammed the bridge they were on.
It shattered quickly, but luckily everyone did survive, but were separated.
Cody, Ruby, Yang, Weiss, Jaune and Nora were on the ruin side, while Blake, Pyrrha and Ren were on the other side, fighting against the Deathstalker.
"Oh no! Nora we have to get over there! They need our help!" Jaune yelled out of worry.
"Then let's do this thang!" She giggled as they stood against the edge.
"Um yeah but... I don't think I can make that jump..." Jaune gulped as he looked down.
Nora on the other hand just gave off a devilish grin. She then pushed Jaune back with her weapon as it started to form and shape out.
The grenade launcher morphed into that of a hammer. She then jumped up a bit as she slammed her weapon on the edge.
A blast was sent out from it as it launched Jaune towards where Pyrrha was at. She then had enough time to use another blast to send her flying with Jaune.
"AAH! SMASH!" Nora shouted out as she slammed her weapon on the Deathstalker.
It roared out as it waved it's claw out. it smacked Blake as he began to fall down into the abyss.
But she took the opportunity to use her weapon's whip cloth as she used it to attach it to some of the falling debris. She then jumped from debris to debris before she made it to where the others were at.
"Glad you made it Blake." Cody smiled as her helped her up from where she was.
Blake then hopped up to a high vantage point as the Nevermore kept circling around them.
"That thing won't leave us alone." Blake stated as the others got up higher as well.
"Well then, lets hit it with everything we got!" Yang shouted out as she got in a stance.
"I've been dying to try this one out now." Cody smirked as he took out Ore for Edison.
EYE!
BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA!
This time a new Damashii flew out of the belt. It was silver with yellow highlight on the rims of it. And on the hood was what looked like two antenna's on it and the sleeves had what looked like a lightbulb split in half.
"Edison! Ikouze!" Cody shouted out.
"Edison?" Said the girls in unison.
KAIGAN!
EDISON!
EREKI! HIRAMEKI! HATSUMEI-O!
The Edison Damashii then flew onto Cody as it placed onto him. His visor changed again to that of a yellow lightbulb.
Cody then drew out his weapon as he bent the hilt down and took off a piece of the blade, he then twisted it around and finally put it back into place. The GanGanSaber is now in its gun mode!
"Yosha! Ikouze minna!" Cody shouted to them.
"I have no idea what that means bu okay!" Ruby sweatdropped.
They all then started to open fire upon the Nevermore. Weiss send out ice shards at it, while Blake and Ruby used their rounds on it. Yang kept punching and sending out concussive rounds at it, while Cody was shooting electrical bolts at it.
But the attacks on it barely did anything as it rammed the area they were at, knocking it down.
They all started to fall, so they used the debris in their own way t get back to higher ground.
"Ugh! Nothing is working against it!" Cody growled in frustration.
Ruby on the other hand noticed that, it's armor was too think for it... She looked around for some idea. And what she saw made her think of a plan!
"I got something!" She shouted out to the others.
Meanwhile as Ruby and the others were fending off against the Avian Grimm, Jaune and the others were having a difficult time against the Deathstalker.
It wouldn't let them get close as it just kept swiping them with it claws.
But it got worst as it stingers struck against the unstable part of the destroyed bridge.
"We gotta move, now!" Jaune yelled out as they all rushed towards the Deathstalker.
But this time as it swung it's claws, Pyrrha blocked the first one, followed by Jaune. Ren then came up as it sent rounds after rounds against the Deathstalker.
It backed off a bit as Ren jumped up on its stinger as it started sending the round on the tip of it. Followed by Nora shooting her grenades at it.
But it only made the scorpion grimm angrier as it pushed them back and threw Ren off of its stinger.
Pyrrha took the opportunity as she sent her spear into it's eye. It roared in pain as it tried to claw the spear out of it's eye.
And as it was, Jaune noticed that Ren's attack made the stinger loose on it.
"Pyrrah!" Jaune yelled out to her. She looked at him before looking back and quickly taking notice of it.
"On it!" She replied as she threw her shield at it. The shield cut through the loosened stinger as it fell off and pierced through the Deathstalker's head.
"Nora! Nail it!" He yelled to her. She nodded as she jumped up, onto Pyrrah's shield that just returned as she helped send Nora into the sky.
She then came soaring down with a boost from her weapon. She spun as she smashed her hammer onto the stinger, making it push deeper into it's skull.
And with the final blow, she pulled the trigger as the concussion round in her weapon forced the stinger even deeper than before.
But it made the ground stable as she jumped off of it, Jaune and Pyrrha weren't behind too far they landed safely behind the Deathstalker as it fell down into the abyss below.
And back with Ruby and the others, she told them about her plan as Yang stood up high along with Cody as they sent round after round at the circling Nevermore.
That was until Yang made a successful hit in its eye. It roared out in pain as it flew straight towards them. But Cody just jumped down as Yang jumped at it.
Yang was now in between its beak, sending more of her fiery rounds down it's throat.
"I. Hope. You're. Hungry!" She yelled out with each shot she sent. She then hopped out of it as the Nevermore crashed into the cliff side, stunned.
And as it was getting up, Weiss jumped up as she used her ice to freeze part of it to the ground so it couldn't escape. She then jumped back.
Blake and Yang were hanging on two pillars as Blake sent her weapon to Yang. She caught it as she placed one end if it inside the pillar and held it their, along with Blake holding the other end in place too.
Cody was below them as he quickly switched back to Ore, he then pulled out the lever as he started to gather energy.
And finally behind him was Weiss, bringing up a glyph as Ruby came down upon on the strap that Yang and Blake were holding. Weiss then used her glyph to pull Ruby back, making her a sling shot.
"Of course you would think of a plan like this..." Weiss complained but was impressed with it.
"Can you make the shot?" Ruby asked her.
Weiss just smirked. "Can I?"
Ruby turned to her, confused. "Can you?" She asked her.
"Of course I can you dolt! I was making a joke!" Weiss shouted.
Ruby smiled as she looked down at Cody. "Alright Cody! Pin it down!" She yelled.
"IKOUZEEEEEE!" Cody yelled out as it pushed in the lever.
DAI-KAIGAN!
ORE! OMEGA-DRIVE!
He then jumped up as he delivered the kick at the Nevermore.
"RIDER! KIIIIIIICK! Cody shouted out as his kick connected against the Nevermore. A explosion erupted from the kick as he pinned the avian grimm to the cliff side.
Weiss then let go of Ruby as she was sent flying at the Grimm. Her scythe connected as she landed on the cliff side, still holding onto the grimm's neck.
Weiss quickly reacted as she sent several glyph's upward. Ruby then started to use her speed, along with the scythe to not only boost her way upward, but also pull the grimm up with her.
And finally, once she reached the top, she made on last twist as her scythe cut through the Grimm, decapitating it.
Ruby sighed with relief as she looked down at the others. Everyone was waving at her down below.
"Now... how do we get up there?" Yang asked as she turned to the others.
"Allow me ma'dam!" Yurusen replied as he appeared.
"AHH! That ghost again!" Jaune shouted out from the other side of the ruin.
Just then a shadowy figure appeared below that as it started to rise up. And out from the abyss was what looked like a small black pirate shipe. But it had a red face on the front, along with a cannon too. It even had reptilian legs too.
"Meet Captain Ghost!" Yurusen proclaimed.
"Is it safe Yurusen?" Cody asked him, slightly concerned.
"Mhm! Thanks to Condor, not only can they see Ghosts, now, but even interact with them. He is as solid as the ground." Yurusen explained.
"Well, you heard him. Get on." Cody smiled as he changed back to normal and boarded the ship.
The rest did the same as they then flew up to the cliff side, ready to finally end this initiation.
At the auditorium...
Every student was now there, each one was being given a team as Ozpin named the ones who made it. As it also showed the teams and what they did.
"Russel Thrust, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing, and Sky Lark. The four of you, retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day one, you will work together as Team CRDL, lead by Cardin Winchester." Said Ozpin as he congratulated them as their team name was formed on the screen along with their fights.
After they left, Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren and Nora walked onto the stage. "Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos, and Nora Valkyrie. You four have obtained the white rook pieces. From this day on you four. You will work together as Team JNPR. Lead by... Jaune Arc." Said Ozpin as he clapped for them.
Nora hugged Ren tightly as Jaune stood there, shocked. "I-I'm... the Leader?" Jaune said in disbelief as he looked up at the team name and their battles.
"Congratulations Jaune." Ozpin smiled as he shook his hand.
After that, Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang then walked up onto the stage. As it showed some of their battles within the forest.
"Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, Yang Xiao Long. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces from the forest. So from this day one, you will fight together as Team RWBY. Lead by none other than Ruby Rose." Ozpin smiled as Ruby stood there, also in disbelief as yang hugged her tightly.
Even JNPR clapped for them as they were about to leave the stage.
"Hold on you four. I'm not done yet." Ozpin said to them, making them stop and the whole school be silent.
"Now... Cody Aldrich. Please step forward." Ozpin said as Cody looked at him confused as he walked up on stage.
Once he did, the screen transitioned to the fights he had along side of RWBY and JNPR. This made several students gasp and murmur out loud at what they showed.
"You Cody... found the Crystal King Piece... That piece was lost long ago during an old time... You just finding it should've been impossible... But.." Ozpin said before turning to the screen then back to him.
"It seems you are someone who can make it probable... So... For not only helping both RWBY and JNPR out... I shall let this piece speak for itself. And for your actions, you may pick to be in whatever team you see fit. Usually, Teams can be only four people... but I am willing to make this exception. So.. who will you choose to be with?" Ozpin asked.
Cody then turned around as he started to look at all of the teams down below. He then turned back up to see the footage that they captured.
He then smiled as he turned to RWBY then back to Ozpin. "I choose to be with Team RWBY sir." He answered.
Ozpin just smiled as he puts Cody in with RWBY. "So be it... Welcome to Team RWBY, Cody." Ozpin said as he shook Cody's hand.
Ruby and Yang walked up to him as they hugged him each. Blake smiled as she patted his shoulder while Weiss gave a curtsy at him.
"Now.. you can all rest up for today. For tomorrow, school starts." Ozpin said as everyone was then dismissed.
Now... let us see what these new teams can do? Ozpin thought to himself as he watched them all go.
A/N: Hello minna! DAMN was this a long chapter... I will say sorry if this didn't went to your expectations. I not only had two days of no sleep due to sleep anxiety, but also GED in the morning... So I had to rush, plus my ADD and procrastination kicked in again, hence why this was uploaded so late.
Sorry about that everyone! Also I may rewrite a bit of this later on, just in case this wasn't up to par with the last 3 chapters. :P
Also I wanna give q big thank you to ShadowBladeKnight for allowing me to use his idea of the crystal chess piece. ^^
Anyways... I bet you're all wondering why no Robin Hood was on here? Well while it may have been debut already in the show, over here I plan on making it wait before that and Newton can be used.
Also just to let you all know, Musashi to Newton are the only Eyecon's and Damashii that will be used in Vol1. I wanna try to spread out the forms and Eyecons as much as I can for each Vol.
I will admit that Vol. 3 will introduce Boost. After that is anyones game... Especially since after Vol3, this fic series will be on hiatus until Vol4 comes out and so on. Hope you all can understand?
So until next time, later minna!
