Summer was walking by Yang's room at 6:00 am just as Yang's alarm clock started going off. She opened her older daughter's door to see if the blonde was awake,but instead saw Yang sleeping through her alarm clock yet again. Sighing in annoyance, Summer walked over to her daughter's bed. "Yang. It's time to get up." She said softly. Yang's response was to cover her head with her pillow. "Well, I guess you don't want my chocolate chip pancakes." She said. That made Yang jolt straight up. Her Mom was known for many things such as being the best cyber huntress but to her and Ruby, she was Supermom. The only thing better than Summer's chocolate chip pancakes were her cookies.
"Ok, Mom. I'm up and I'll be ready in a couple of minutes." Yang said groggily.
With that, Summer left Yang's room to check on Ruby, hoping that she hadn't fallen asleep at her desk again. Summer realized that Ruby got her bad habit of always tinkering with battle chips. When she opened Ruby's door, she sighed in relief when she saw that her younger daughter was asleep in her bed and not her desk, but Ruby wasn't the only one in her bed. The family's black, gray, and white Corgi was also there. "Zwei. Time to wake up Ruby." Summer whispered.
Zwei moved from his spot at Ruby's feet, moving to her face and starting to lick it, causing Ruby to start giggling. "Zwei, please stop. That tickles." She giggled. After a few more seconds, Zwei left her room to go to his breakfast.
"Ruby, It's time to get up. You don't want to be late on your first day." Summer said.
"Ok, Mom. I'll be ready in a few seconds." Ruby replied.
Summer was making pancakes when Ruby and Yang walked into the kitchen and sat down. "So, are you girls ready for your first day?" Rose Woman asked from Summer's PET.
"Yes. Ruby got all of her supplies last night." Fairytale Woman said.
"Same with Yang." Dragon Woman added.
Just then, Summer placed a large stack of pancakes in front of the two girls. "Now, eat up, you two. You don't want to be late on your first day of school." She reminded.
"Ok, Mom." Ruby and Yang said. After breakfast, the two hopped onto Yang's motorcycle: Bumblebee, and drove off to their first day at Beacon.
A half-hour later, Ruby and Yang parked in a spot in Beacon's parking lot. "Wow! Yang, I can't believe we're actually here at Beacon!" Ruby exclaimed in awe.
"I know what you mean, Ruby. This is a big step in our goal of becoming cyber huntresses." Yang smiled. They both start to walk towards the campus when suddenly a huge crowd of students appeared, separating Ruby and Yang from each other. "RUBY!" She screamed watching her younger sister get carried away with the crowd.
When Yang started to chase after them, she heard a familiar voice calling her name. Turning around, she saw Blake walking toward her. "What's wrong, Yang?" She asked.
"Ruby and Fairytale Woman just got carried off by a crowd of people." Dragon Woman explained.
"That's terrible." Blake said, sympathy in her voice.
"Why are they here, though? Aren't they a little young to be students here at Beacon?" Neko Woman asked, curious at why Ruby and Fairytale Woman were at Beacon.
"They got in early be impressing Ozpin by stopping a bank robbery being committed by Roman Torchwick." Yang said.
"Wow!" Blake exclaimed.
"I can see why Ruby and Fairytale Woman would be accepted. It's not easy impressing Headmaster Ozpin. Out of the four academies, Beacon is the hardest to get into." Neko Woman explained.
"I read that Headmaster Ozpin believes in quality over quantity, training the best Cyber Hunters and Cyber Huntresses in all of Remnant!" Blake said, actually sounding like a poet.
"Whoa! I didn't know that." Yang managed to say after Blake finished, but then she instantly remembered that she has to find her sister. "I got to find Ruby!"
"Yang, I will help you look for Ruby, but she's safe. She's at Beacon which is one of the safest places for her to be in." Blake assured.
"That doesn't matter! I have to find her!" Yang screamed.
Blake could sense the sheer panic in Yang's voice. "Yang. Why are you so worried?" She asked.
Yang couldn't find it in herself to answer Blake's question, so Dragon Woman took over for this part. "You see, when Yang was 8, she and Ruby were playing at the park. When Yang took her eyes off Ruby for a second, Ruby fell from the monkey bars and broke her arm. Since that day, Yang has promised to always protect her." She explained.
"You can't protect Ruby all of the time, Yang." Neko Woman added.
"I know that. That doesn't make it easier for me." Yang said.
"I can tell Ruby looks up to you. You and your parents have done a great job in raising Ruby." Blake smiled warmly.
Suddenly, they heard crying. Looking around, they spotted a girl with short orange hair, and turquoise eyes wearing a white shirt with a heart-shaped window near the top and a pink skirt. "That's so sweet." The girl sniffled.
"How long has she been there?" Yang and Blake thought.
Before they could ask their questions, they heard someone calling for the girl. "Nora!" A male voice shouted. The two then saw a young man with magenta eyes, black hair with a single pink strand wearing a green robe of sorts. "I must apologize for my friend. Sometimes, she forgets about other people's personal space." The young man said.
"Excuse me, but who are you two?" Blake politely asked.
"My name is Lie Ren." He said, introducing himself. "This is my friend, Nora Valkyrie."
"So Nora. Why were you listening to our conversation?" Yang asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, you looked sad, and I wondered if there was anything I could do to help." Nora answered.
"Thank you, but I need to go find my sister." Yang said.
"I believe your best chance to find your sister would be the amphitheater where all new students are supposed to meet for initiation." Ren said.
"He's right, Yang." Blake agreed.
"Ren's usually right with these kinds of things." Nora smiled.
Yang relented and sighed. "Ok. Ruby, I hope you're okay." She said quietly.
Ruby was dragged further onto the Beacon campus. "Great." She groaned. "What am I gonna do, Fairytale Woman?"
"Just stay calm, Ruby. We just have to find the amphitheater where all the new students have to meet to hear Headmaster Ozpin's speech." Fairytale Woman said.
At that moment, someone came up behind her. "Excuse me, but can you help me find the amphitheater?" The person behind her asked. Ruby turned around to see a boy with blond hair, azure blue eyes wearing a Pumpkin Pete hoodie and blue jeans. Ruby didn't respond as she was frozen like a deer in headlights.
"Miss? Are you okay?" A voice asked from the boys bag. "Jaune? What's going on?"
Jaune pulled his PET out of his bag. "I'm not sure, Squire Man." He answered. Squire Man wore white and yellow chainmail armor as well as carrying a white and yellow shield on his arm. A sword was on his back. "I just asked for her help and this happened."
"It looks like she's frozen." Squire Man observed. They thought about how to fix this until a new voice came in.
"Ruby! What are you doing here?" Weiss asked walking over to Ruby and Jaune. She noticed there was no response to her question.
"Weiss. I think this is what Ruby meant by freezing up when she meets new people the first time we met." Snow Woman said.
"Weiss! Thank god you're here!" Fairytale Woman exclaimed happily.
"Is there something I can do?" Weiss asked.
"Maybe if you talk to her, it might snap her out of it." Fairytale Woman said.
Weiss placed her hand on Ruby's right shoulder. "Ruby. It's me, Weiss. Can you hear me? I need you to snap out of it." She said.
At that moment, Ruby snapped out of her frozen state. "Weiss? Is that you?" She asked.
"Yes, it is me, Ruby." Weiss smiled.
Ruby immediately hugged Weiss. "Thank you! No one besides my family have been able to snap me out of that state." Ruby smiled.
"You're welcome, Ruby, but I have a question." Weiss said.
"Sure." Ruby said.
"What are you doing here?" Weiss asked, curious.
"I was invited to attend Beacon." Ruby answered, handing Weiss her acceptance letter.
Looking over Ruby's letter and her own, there wasn't a single difference between them. "Ruby, that's amazing. It'll be nice to have friends here." Weiss smiled.
"Yang's going to be here, too. Also, she told me that Blake is going to be here as well." Ruby revealed.
"It's nice to know we'll have friends here." Snow Woman smiled.
"Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt, but are you two freshmen like me?" Jaune asked.
"Who are you?" Ruby and Weiss asked.
"My name is Jaune." He responded. "What're your names?"
"I'm Ruby. This is my Netnavi, Fairytale Woman." Ruby said.
"Nice to meet you, Jaune." Fairytale Woman smiled.
"I'm Weiss, and this is my Netnavi, Snow Woman." Weiss introduced, which Snow Woman bowed in greeting.
"This is my partner, Squire Man." Jaune introduced.
"It's nice to meet all of you ladies." Squire Man said respectively while smiling. "So, do any of you ladies know where the amphitheater is?"
"It should be right over there." Weiss said before realizing nothing was where she was pointing. "I actually got myself turned around until I saw Ruby." She admitted. Ruby was about to apologize when Weiss put a finger to her lips. "I'm not mad at you. I'm happy to know some friends while I'm here."
"Thank you. So, why don't we ask for directions?' Ruby suggested. At that moment, two older girls walked by. "Excuse me, but can either of you tell us where the amphitheater is?"
"Sure. Go straight then left pass that building, then you should be there." The girl in the Beacon uniform wearing sunglasses and a brown beret instructed.
"Thanks." All three of them said and went on their way.
"Hey, Coco. Does that girl look familiar to you?" The bunny faunus standing next to Coco asked.
"I do, Velvet. That's Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Battle Chip Company." Coco said.
"Not her, the girl int he red hood.I feel like I've seen her around school before." Velvet pondered.
"I think I would remember a girl in a red hood, especially one made out of high-quality material. If you want, Velvet, we could watch the initiation." Coco suggested. "That way, you could find out who she is."
"Sure. We don't have classes today because of the initiation." Velvet said.
Ruby, Weiss, and Jaune arrived at the amphitheater. When they entered, the trio were in utter awe at the sheer size of the room. "Wait. This can't be right." Jaune said.
"What do you mean, Jaune?" Ruby asked.
"Well, look around. There should be more students here." Jaune pointed out.
Ruby looked around and indeed saw that only two rows were full of students while the third row only had four seats available. "That makes sense to me." Weiss said out of nowhere.
"What do you mean, Weiss?" Ruby and Jaune asked.
"From my research, Beacon is very hard to get into. Headmaster Ozpin doesn't accept lien from any wealthy family at all. You have to earn your spot in this school." Weiss explained.
"Wow. That's so cool!" Ruby beamed.
"Yeah. Really. Jaune said nervously.
"Weiss, look! There's Yang and Blake in the third row." Ruby said.
Weiss looked to where Ruby was looking and saw the two. Yes, I believe you're right. Let's go meet them." She said.
Ruby looked Jaune's direction with a smile. "Come on, Jaune! I want you to meet my big sister and my other best friend Blake."
"Sure, Ruby." Jaune smiled.
Weiss was walking with the two, but her mind was kind of in overdrive over what Ruby had just said. "She just called me one of her best friends. I don't think she knows who I am, but that means she doesn't expect anything from me. I hereby promise to be the best friend you've ever had, Ruby!" Weiss declared in her head as she heard someone call Ruby. Looking up, she saw Yang giving her sister a bear hug.
"Ruby! Are you okay? I was so worried about you when we got separated by that crowd!" Yang exclaimed.
"Y-Yang... I n-need to b-breath..." Ruby gasped. With that, Yang let go. After a minute of acquiring some lovely air, Ruby answered Yang's question. "Yes, Yang. I'm fine. Weiss found me and made our way here. Not only that, but I think I've made a new friend. His name is..." Ruby didn't finish as she was interrupted when she heard a yelp of slight pain. The trio turned to see Jaune tangled up with a redhead girl.
"Oh, my, goodness! I'm so sorry!" The redhead girl apologized.
"That's ok." Jaune responded. The two of them untangled themselves and got up from the floor. Jaune managed to get a good look at the girl who accidentally knocked him over. She had bright red hair tied into a ponytail, emerald green eyes, wearing a brown overbust corset and a black a-line mini-skirt. "My name is Jaune. What's yours?"
"I'm Pyrrha. I'm sorry for bumping into you."
"Hey, you didn't do it on purpose, so it's fine." Jaune reassured.
Pyrrha smiled at what he said. "Thank you."
"Attention, everyone! Take your seats, please!" Ozpin announced loudly. Once everyone was seated, he began his speech. "Hello, students. I'm sure many of you know who I am, but for those who don't, I'm Headmaster Ozpin. Beacon only accepts up to forty new students every new scholastic year, but do not believe the hard part is over. It's only the beginning. We will not only push you to be the best Cyber Hunters and Cyber Huntresses, but also the best versions of yourselves. We may mainly focus on your training, fighting Grimm Viruses, but your other educations will never be overlooked. We want you all to be the best balanced. Now, today, you will be going through Beacon Initiation. You will learn about what you all will be doing when you jack in, but before you do, please let me tell you what this amphitheater is used for. First of all, we use this for school plays as well as you all being trained by my right hand, Glynda Goodwitch in the art of net battling. There are jack in ports in the arms of your chairs that can only be used during initiation. The reason for this is we don't want anyone interfering with anyone else in the net battles. Now, when you jack in, your Netnavis will be transferred to a certain site that we use for this test. Now, let us begin." Ozpin finished.
"JACK IN!" Multiple voices shouted.
Glynda, who was standing next to Ozpin the entire time took this time to finally speak. "I believe you forgot to mention second through fourth years can watch the feed as long as they're in the amphitheater."
"That's something they don't have to worry about." Ozpin smiled slightly.
On the upper floors of the amphitheater, several older students were there with their PETs, ready to jack in to watch the video feed. "Wow. Hey, Velvet. That's the same speech he gave last year." Coco said.
"I know, Coco. It's the exact same, but the hard part will be going through the Emerald Forest. So, we should probably jack in and watch the video feed, right." Velvet said.
"You're right. We should jack in before they get too far into the Emerald Forest." Coco said.
"WAIT!" The duo heard two voices shout from their PETs. Looking at their PETs, Coco and Velvet saw their Netnavis had things to say.
'What's up, Fashion Woman?" Coco asked, looking at her Netnavi. Fashion Woman was wearing a black leather jacket, deep blue jeans, and black sneakers.
"Well, I got the information you wanted from our friend at the Vale Fashion website, but I think it's best I started with what Photo Woman got." Fashion Woman said.
"Alright." Velvet acknowledged. "Photo Woman." Photo Woman was mechanical looking with a camera lens on her left arm and a camera flash on her right arm.
"Velvet and I went through previous school photos and found this picture." Photo Woman said. What they saw was a picture of four people, but one of them stood out. The person that stood out was a woman in a white hood.
"That's her!" Velvet exclaimed.
"Sorry, Velvet, but this is a picture of Team STRQ and the woman is Summer Rose, but before you get disappointed, I will pass back to Fashion Woman." Photo Woman said.
"Well, I admit it took a bit of time to find information on anyone who had a red hood made from high quality material which had me ending up in the website of the shop you really like, Coco. So, I talked to some Netnavis that work there who told me that Summer Rose and her Netnavi Rose Woman came back in two years ago because she wanted something special made." Fashion Woman explained.
"What did Summer Rose have made?" Coco asked as she was getting more curious.
"She asked for a new red hood for her daughter, Ruby Rose as a very special gift for when she got into Signal." Fashion Woman finished.
"Wait a minute. She should still be at Signal, but if she's here at Beacon, that means she got pushed up two years early." Coco and Velvet whispered together. Their Netnavis nodded in complete agreement.
"Not only that, she's here with her older sister, Yang." Photo Woman added.
"Ok, Velvet. This is what we're gonna do. You stay with Ruby's video feed and record it. I'll do the same thing with her sister. We're not missing out studying two people who were probably trained by Team STRQ themselves." Coco quietly declared.
"Right, Coco. I'll get on it." Velvet smiled.
In a moment, many first-year Netnavis arrived at the start of the Emerald Forest. "Greetings. It seems everyone made it to the Emerald Forest alright. While you're all here, you will call me Headmaster Mage. I'm the Netnavi of Headmaster Ozpin." He introduced.
"You will call me Deputy Headmistress or Professor Sorceress. I'm Professor Goodwitch's Netnavi. We will be in charge of Net Battles and discipline problems. Do I make myself clear." She said in her stern voice. The Netnavis bowed their heads in acknowledgement. She took that as the sign to continue. "The Emerald Forest was once an actual video game level that made it to beta testing until Grimm Viruses infected it. Thus, it was abandoned by its creators. Now, we use it for a testing ground. You may speak again, Headmaster Mage."
"Thank you, Professor Sorceress. Now, somewhere in the forest is a temple. Within the temple is a relic you all will need to collect. You're probably wondering if you'll be doing this alone. You will have a partner, but your partner will be the very first Netnavi you lay eyes on when you land." Mage said.
"Sire. What do you mean by land?" Squire Man asked nervously.
"Now, Grimm Viruses are not the only danger. There are hidden booby traps in the forest as well." Mage then sported a grin. "Now, have fun with your landing strategy." Suddenly, the ground under the Netnavi's feet sprang up, throwing them into the air at high speed.
Ruby & Fairytale Woman
"So, Ruby. How do we wanna do this landing?" Asked Fairytale Woman who at the moment was flying in mid-air.
"Well, I could use a Barrier Battle Chip, but I don't wanna waste battle chips we could use for a more dangerous situation. So, I think the best option right now is to use your scythe to cling to a tree." Ruby explained.
"Understood, Ruby." Fairytale Woman smirked. At that moment, a tree was coming into view fast. "Fairy Scythe!" Seconds after calling out her weapon, she hook onto a tree. Then using her momentum from the fall, she spun herself around the tree and getting herself onto the ground safely.
"Now, I think the best chance to find a partner is to start heading straight for the temple." Ruby said.
"I think you're right, Ruby." Fairytale Woman agreed.
"I just hope we get someone we're able to work with." Ruby thought out loud.
"I'm sure we'll get a partner we'll work great with, Rubes." Fairytale Woman assured. While she was walking, Fairytale Woman heard some noises that sounded like someone was fighting. "Ruby. We should check this out."
"You're right. We should make sure no one's hurt." Ruby said. When Fairytale Woman got close enough, she saw Snow Woman surrounded by a pack of Beowolves. "Fairytale Woman!"
"Say no more, Ruby! I'm on it!" Fairytale Woman replied heading towards the pack.
"Long Sword! Battle Chip! Download!" Ruby called out. Fairytale Woman's right hand morphed into the Long Sword as she charged in to help her friend.
"I don't think we'll be able to handle this many Beowolves by ourselves." Weiss slightly grimaced.
"At least we've tried to thin them down so we can escape." Snow Woman pointed out.
"Snow Woman. Keep at a distance for this next one." Weiss instructed. "M Cannon! Battle Chip! Download!"
With the M Cannon, Snow Woman opened fire at the Grimm Virus pack, but she didn't notice a Beowolf sneaking up behind her. "Look out!" Snow Woman heard a voice shout loudly. When she turned around, she saw Fairytale Woman with a Long Sword along with the Beowolf behind her cut down. Snow Woman sighed in relief in seeing a friendly face.
"Good to see you again, Fairytale Woman, but right now, let's take care of them." Snow Woman said sternly.
"Right. Ruby, I think we take the ones getting too close for comfort. Snow Woman, while you take on the far Beowolves, I'll make sure the ones that got through your cannon fire are taken care of." Fairytale Woman explained.
"A sound plan." Snow Woman agreed.
Soon, the Beowolves charged at them. Snow Woman fired on them with her M Cannon. Those that got through the M Cannon fire were met by Fairytale Woman They tried to bite her, but she dodged their attacks. Using her Long Sword, Fairytale Woman reached and slashed at one that got to close to them. "Hey, Snow Woman. I feel like we've done this before." Fairytale Woman grinned.
"Yes, Fairytale Woman. This is like how we first met, surrounded by Beowolves." Snow Woman grinned back.
"Well, at least no crazy Netnavi's trying to kill us this time." Fairytale Woman pointed out.
"That's true. Now, let's finish this." Snow Woman kept her grin.
"Weiss. You have a new battle chip?" Ruby asked.
"I've got just the thing." Weiss grinned. "Tornado! Battle Chip! Download!" At this point, a strong wind started blowing, creating a tornado in seconds that sucked up the remaining Beowolves.
"Alright, Fairytale Woman. Out turn." Ruby smiled. "Totem! Battle Chip! Download!" In front of Fairytale Woman appeared a small totem which the top mouth opened and unleashed fire from it. The fire hit the tornado, making it catch on fire which in turn deleted the remaining Beowolves.
"Well, Fairytale Woman. Looks like we're partners." Snow Woman said.
"I'm just glad I'm partners with someone I can trust." Fairytale Woman replied. However, unknown to both of them, their fight with the Beowolves had awakened a stronger Grimm Virus from its slumber.
Jaune & Squire Man
"Alright. What's the game plan here? We used a Barrier Battle Chip to protect you, but you've seemed to stop in mid-air." Jaune said. When he looked up, they saw a female Netnavi standing on a piece of metal. This Netnavi was wearing a red chest plate with a gold trim. On her shoulder was a golden pauldron, the arms had vambraces. She also wore a gold codepiece, red kneepads, thighs, shin guards, and gold body stocking.
"Hello there." She said.
"Hello there, miss. I'm Squire Man." He introduced. "What's your name?"
"I'm Magnet Woman and my human Net Op is Pyrrha Nikos." She said. "Who's your partner?"
"Wait. You mean your partner is the girl who bumped into Jaune earlier?" Squire Man asked.
"Oh, so you're Jaune's Netnavi, then." Magnet Woman assumed correctly. "This also means we're partners since we made eye contact."
"Yes, it does." Squire Man said. "I also see a temple over there to the left of us." What they saw was a stone structure with much moss covering it and the statue of a scorpion at the front entrance.
"Do you think this is it, Jaune?" Squire Man asked.
"This may be it, Squire Man." Jaune answered.
"What do you think, Pyrrha?" Magnet Woman asked.
"Honestly, I'm not sure, Magnet Woman. If this was happening in the real world, we would be able to tell by the fresh foot mark of the people, but since this is happening in an abandoned video game level that's reset itself, there's absolutely no way to tell. So, our only way to find out is to check it out." Pyrrha said as Squire Man and Magnet Woman started walking into the structure.
"Be careful, Magnet Woman. There could be traps in here." Squire Man advised. As soon as he said that, his foot hit a panel on the floor. All of a sudden, darts were shooting out of the wall.
"Squire Man! Use your shield to block the darts. Tell Magnet Woman to get close to you so you both will be protected by it while you cross it at the same time." Jaune said. "Also, ask if Magnet Woman can use the metal guards in the back."
Squire Man told Magnet Woman Jaune's plan. "Yes, I believe I can." She smiled. Thus, they went through the corridor while the darts were still shooting using the shield and metal plates. They went through several more traps before making it to the main chamber. This room was dark and all they could see was something glowing dimly in the center of the room.
"That must be the relic we've been looking for." Squire Man said a little confidently.
"I'm not sure about that, Squire Man." Jaune said cautiously.
"Well, there's only one way to find out." Squire Man said as he went to grab the 'relic', but it suddenly moved out of the way. "Magnet Woman. Did that relic just move or was it just my imagination?"
"No, it definitely did move." Magnet Woman answered rather quickly. Soon, the room lit up revealing giant bone white armor with the barely showing black of a scorpion.
"Is that what I think it is?" Squire Man asked with wide eyes.
"I think that's a Deathstalker, so yes." Magnet Woman answered.
"That means this temple was a fake as well as a trap to lure Netnavis to their doom." Squire Man said rather dramatically.
"I believe that and I don't think the two of us can take on this Grimm on our own." Magnet Woman slightly shuddered.
"Well, one thing we can do is run back through where we came from and hope it dies in one of the traps." Squire Man two then ran back to the outside with the Deathstalker chasing close behind them.
Yang & Dragon Woman
Dragon Woman was shot through the sky. "So, Yang. Are we going to do this the easy way and just have me fly to the temple or not?" She asked.
"Now where's the fun in that, Dragon Woman?" Yang asked jokingly. "Use your wings to soften the landing." Thus, when Dragon Woman got closer to the ground, she used her wings to soften her landing.
Once she was on the ground, she started looking around. "So, Yang. Do we head for the temple or do we try to find Fairytale Woman?" Dragon Woman asked. Before Yang could answer, the bush near Dragon Woman started moving. "Is that you, Fairytale Woman?" The Netnavi asked softly. What came out of the rustling bush wasn't her sister Netnavi but rather two bears with black fur and covered in bone white armor, bone spikes on their backs, and bone white masks on their faces. These were another type of Grimm Virus: Ursai. One of the Ursai took a swipe at Dragon Woman who barely dodged the attack. "You two haven't seen a Netnavi wearing a red hood, an orange cat wearing a ninja outfit, and a princess wearing a tutu, have you?" She asked. The response of the Ursai were to charge directly at her. "I'll take that as a no. Yang: A battle chip, please."
"You got it, Dragon Woman." Yang smirked. "Brnz Fist! Battle Chip! Download!" At that moment, Dragon Woman's hands turned to bronze. The Netnavi smirked while running to the two Grimm Viruses. She then punched the two Ursai. After several hits, the two Grimm Viruses were deleted. However, she didn't notice a third Ursa standing on it's hind legs behind her getting ready to strike her down. Suddenly, it was blasted into a tree. Turning around, Dragon Woman saw Neko Woman with her right hand being a gun at the moment. "You know I had it handled, Neko Woman. Also, what chip did Blake pick for you?"
"Of course you had it under control. Blake picked the Spreader battle chip. It would seem that we're partners." Neko Woman pointed out, but smiled.
"Does seem that way, Neko Woman." Dragon Woman said. "So, we should probably head to the temple now."
"You're right about that." Neko Woman agreed. With that, the two started heading in the direction of the temple.
Lie Ren & Lotus
A male human Netnavi just landed in the ground of the Emerald Forest. He was wearing a pink over-tunic, a dark green under-tunic, a dark green hooded robe with wide sleeves while on the back of the robe was a pink lotus, lose fitting pink trousers, a tabard, and a broad sash tied at the waist along with tall boots. "Ren. I got into the forest with no problem." Lotus said stoically.
"Good to hear, Lotus, but be on your guard. This place is crawling with Grimm Viruses." Ren advised.
"Understood, Ren. I will keep my eyes open for trouble." Lotus replied. However, right after he said that, the ground beneath him began to shake and break apart. Lotus jumped out of the way. Out of the ground popped up a large black snake with white speckles on it's belly. This was a King Taijitu Virus. It beared its fangs and lunged toward Lotus.
"Elec Sword! Battle Chip! Download!" Ren shouted. Lotus's right hand morphed into the elec sword. Using the weapon, Lotus performed an electric slash at the lunging King Taijitu, which made it screech out loud. It was in obvious pain.
"Hey, Ren. Don't King Taijitu's usually have two heads?" Lotus asked.
"You're right, but where's the other head?" Lotus pondered. Suddenly, the second King Taijitu head sprung it's trap. Wrapping itself around Lotus who was now struggling in the white head's coils.
"Hey! Let my friend go, you snake!" A voice shouted. When Lotus looked up, he saw a female Netnavi wearing a pink button-less nehru jacket with white armor plating around her chest, pink trousers, white metal gauntlets and white boots. "Hey, Nora! Can we play Whack 'a' Snake?"
"Good idea, Shock Woman. I have just the chip for the job." Nora grinned. "Hammer! Battle Chip! Download!" A hammer appeared in Shock Woman's hands while she jumped up, to which she grinned in wielding. With the speed of her fall increased the power in her swing, slamming the hammer into the white head which caused it to drop Lotus.
After escaping the white head's coils, he stood by his friend. "It's good to see you, Shock Woman." He smiled.
"Hey, what do you expect, Lotus? Wherever you go, I'll always be right next to you." Shock Woman smiled back. "Now, let's finish this Grimm Virus."
Lotus nodded. "I take one head. You take the order."
"Shock Hammer!" Shock Woman shouted. Within seconds, a bolt of electricity showed up seemingly out of nowhere. After the electricity itself took the form of a hammer, and her signature weapon appeared in her hands.
"Lotus Blade!" Lotus exclaimed as he pulled out a lotus flower which transformed into an elegant sword. Shock Woman hit her new weapon on the white head, not only causing it pain, but sending jolts of electricity throughout the entire body. Lotus took this opportunity to make a sword slash which caused damage to both heads which deleted the King Taijitu.
Shock Woman walked up to Lotus and lightly touched his nose. "Boop." Lotus just smiled at Shock Woman as the newly formed partners walked towards the temple.
Ozpin & Glynda
"It looks like all the students now have their partners, sir." Glynda spoke.
"Yes, it seems that way, Glynda." Ozpin said.
"I'm still not sure why you let Mr. Arc in. I looked at his grades and he's a C student." Glynda said with skepticism.
"Who you see as a simple C student is someone that I see with proper care will allow him to grow to his full potential." Ozpin retorted.
Glynda then heard her Netnavi sigh. "What's wrong, Sorceress?"
"Well Glynda, it seems like Ms. Rose, Ms. Schnee, Ms. Xiao Long, and Ms. Belladonna's Netnavis all look like they work well with each other." Sorceress explained.
"You're right. Both groups look like they've worked together before." Glynda observed.
"That doesn't surprise me, Sorceress." Mage suddenly spoke.
"What do you mean by that, sir?" Sorceress asked.
"Well, Ms. Rose had Rose Woman sent me a video Email last night. This video was of her two daughters, Weiss, and Blake fighting a WorldIII Netnavi in the store that was taken hostage." Mage revealed with a grin.
Sorceress groaned, "Oh, no. Please don't tell me we have another Team STRQ on our hands."
"I hope not, Sorceress." Glynda rubbed her hand on her head. "I still get a headache when I think back to all the trouble those four got into."
"Let's hope the four of them don't end up on the same team, Glynda but if they do end up on the same team, I'll make sure you're fully stocked on headache medicine." Sorceress reassured.
"Thank you, Sorceress." Glynda smiled slightly.
"Oh, my. Looks like Fairytale Woman and Snow Woman are by a giant Nevermore." Ozpin said but having a small grin on his face.
Dragon Woman and Neko Woman
After traveling for a while, Neko Woman and Dragon Woman found themselves in an open field near some mountains. They look around when they notice the small ruins of a church building. It was a simple structure with nothing that makes it truly stand out. "Hey, Neko Woman. Do you think this could be the temple we're meant to find?" Dragon Woman asked.
"It could be. One thing Blake and I learned is don't judge a book by it's cover." Neko Woman said somewhat sagely. They went to open the door. they were ready to fight just in case there were some nasty surprises but what they saw when they entered the structure were thirty-two pedestals with chess pieces on them.
"Wait. The relics are chess pieces." Dragon Woman said a little surprised.
"It looks that way, Dragon Woman." Yang said who was honestly a teeny bit underwhelmed.
"Hey, Dragon Woman. Yang. We found something written over here on one of the pedastals." Neko Woman said.
"Well, what does it say?" Dragon Woman and Yang asked together.
"Choose carefully and the lives and destiny of four souls will depend of what your choice will be." Blake read out loud.
"What do you think that means?" Dragon Woman asked.
"I don't know yet, but I know we have to pick one." Answered Neko Woman.
"How bout that cute pony piece." Dragon Woman and Yang said.
"Sure." Neko Woman and Blake agreed with their choice.
Before they could say anything else, they heard a loud boom from outside. All four looked at each other, knowing that they were going to check what was going on. What they saw outside was a Netnavi using a Barrier Battle Chip. Then, the barrier broke apart. What they saw after the barrier broke apart were Fairytale Woman and Snow Woman kneeling over. Dragon Woman and Neko Woman went to see if their friends were okay. "Sis, are you okay?" Dragon Woman asked, her voice filled with concern.
"Just fine, Dragon Woman, but why are there three of you?" Fairytale Woman asked, still a little disoriented.
"What happened to you two, Snow Woman?" Neko Woman asked.
"We were attacked by a giant Nevermore. If it wasn't for Ruby's quick thinking using a Barrier Battle Chip, we'd probably be hurt a lot worse." Snow Woman responded, panting a little.
"Then it grabbed the barrier with it's claws and then spun us around in mid-air and finally just dropping us to the ground." Fairytale Woman said finishing the story. "It's probably on its way back as we speak."
As they got themselves ready to fight the Nevermore, two more Netnavis showed up. Suddenly, an energetic female voice started speaking. "Hey! I'm Shock Woman and this is Lotus." She introduced.
Dragon Woman took a look at Shock Woman for a minute. "You wouldn't happen to be Nora's Netnavi, would you?" She asked just to be sure.
"Yes, I am. How'd you know that?" Shock Woman asked.
"Then I believe this is Yang's Netnavi." Lotus said.
"So, that makes the Cat Netnavi Blake's, right?" Shock Woman asked. Lotus nodded.
"So, that makes you Ren's Netnavi." Neko Woman assumed.
"Yes. I'm Ren's Netnavi." Lotus said. Before anything else could be said, a monstrous shriek/screech was heard. The group looked to the direction of the noise and saw Squire Man and Magnet Woman running as fast as they could with a Deathstalker close behind them.
"Fairytale Woman. Isn't that Squire Man running from the Deathstalker?" Snow Woman asked.
"I believe you're right about that, Snow Woman." Fairytale Woman answered.
A couple minutes later, Squire Man and Magnet Woman reached the other Netnavis. "Good. Other Netnavis." He said.
"Together, we can take down that Deathstalker behind us." Magnet Woman smiled.
"Uh.. There's just one problem with that, Squire Man." Fairytale Woman chuckled nervously as she pointed up.
Squire Man recognized Fairytale Woman's voice. "What problem would that be, Fairytale Woman?" He asked.
"Look up." Fairytale Woman said simply.
Everyone did just that and they saw was the Nevermore which was a giant black raven with a bone white skull mask covering it's face and it looked like it was about to attack from above.
"Everyone! Into the ruins! They should protect us for a bit of time!" Squire Man shouted. Thus, they ran into the ruins which they did in the nick of time as the Nevermore unleashed a storm of feathers that were actually sharp enough to slice stone.
Inside the ruins, Fairytale Woman and Snow Woman picked up a knight piece while the other four took rook pieces. After that, all eight of them agreed to fight the two Grimm Viruses as they knew they couldn't leave them be because of the fact that there were other Netnavis stumbling through the Emerald Forest still taking the test and would probably be deleted on the spot by the Grimm Viruses. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang agreed to take on the Nevermore while Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren went to take on the Deathstalker.
Team RWBY vs Nevermore
"All right, girls. What I think we need to do is take out the Nevermore's wings if we're even gonna have a chance against it." Ruby said coming up with a strategy. "Weiss. Can Snow Woman use her Snow Whirlwind to freeze it?"
"Yes, but she's going to need time built up to increase her power." Weiss replied calmly.
"Alright. Fairytale Woman and Dragon Woman will keep it distracted." Ruby voiced.
"Alright, Rubes. You can count on us." Yang grinned.
"Blake and Neko Woman. You have two jobs. One: Protect Snow Woman from any Grimm Viruses that might attack her during this time as well. Two: Find any hidden traps that might be around here and send info to us so we can use them to slow the Nevermore down." Ruby finished.
"Understood, Ruby." Blake acknowledged as her Netnavi nodded and took Snow Woman with her.
"A good plan, Ruby." Weiss smiled.
"Rubes. Does that mean we're gonna use our Strawberry Sunrise?" Yang asked excitedly.
"Yes we are, Yang. We're going with version one." Ruby smiled at her sister, but then groaned. "Why did I let you name our combo move again?"
"Because I won the coin toss. You know you love the name, Rubes." Yang grinned while Ruby just sighed. "Alright, Dragon Woman: We're doing Strawberry Sunrise."
That got Dragon Woman pumped. "All right! Which version are we going with, Yang?"
"Version one, Dragon Woman." Yang kept her grin.
"Ooohhh! The version where Fairytale Woman stands on my back while I'm flying and shooting arrows while I set them on fire." Dragon Woman partially squealed with glee. Seconds later, Fairytale Woman and Dragon Woman were doing that exact move with the former standing on the latter's back.
"Fairy Arrow!" Fairytale Woman called out which gave way to a crossbow mixed with a sniper rifle. She then shot multiple 'arrows' that Dragon Woman set them on fire with controlled bursts of her Dragon Fire attack. The first set of flaming arrows fly towards the Nevermore and hit it, causing it some pain, but the Grimm Virus dodged the second set. by diving down.
Meanwhile, Neko Woman had found a clear spot where Snow Woman could build up her power to use her Snow Whirlwind attack. "Neko Woman. How exactly are you going to guard me and look for hidden traps at the same time?" Snow Woman asked, curious.
"My second move is to do this. Neko Shadow." Neko Woman shouted. Snow Woman watched with wide eyes as Neko Woman summoned four shadows, each pointed in a different direction. Then, the shadows lifted off the ground and became shadow clones of Neko Woman. "Now, go and find traps that will help us deal with the Nevermore." They didn't respond as they ran in the different directions. After that, Neko Woman stumbled a little.
"Are you okay, Neko Woman?" Snow Woman asked concerned for her friend.
"I'm okay. It just takes a little energy out of me to do that." Neko Woman replied.
"Alright, then its time to do my part of the plan." Snow Woman said. She started spinning around creating winds strong enough to freeze the Grimm Virus.
"Hey, Fairytale Woman. I think it's mad at us." Dragon Woman said.
"You think, sis?" Fairytale Woman asked sarcastically. Looking back, the Nevermore was indeed angry at them as it launched more feathers at them. Unfortunately, one of these feathers hit Dragon Woman, resulting in she and Fairytale Woman falling to the ground. When they hit the ground, Dragon Woman saw she was barely missing her wing.
"Sis! Are you okay?" Fairytale Woman asked, concern completely evident.
"Yes. I'm hurt, but thankfully its nothing too severe." Dragon Woman said. "How bout you?"
"I have a few cuts myself." Fairytale Woman said. "Hold on. Blake sent Ruby an Email. Looks like she found two traps that will be useful and both of them are toward Snow Woman." They regained their balance and started flying towards Snow Woman's location with the angry Nevermore on their tail. They passed a set of bushes which they didn't notice a shadow clone of Neko Woman standing next to a wire. With one touch of the thin wire and a catapult launched a boulder hit the Nevermore, but that wasn't the end of this. A little father along, the Grimm Virus was hit with two logs simultaneously. This made it not only angrier but more determined to catch the Netnavis. What it didn't know was this was all part of a plan.
The Nevermore soon found itself near a mountain in a clearing when suddenly a whirlwind of snow and ice hit it out of nowhere. It tried to escape, but it was too late as the freezing bitter wind was upon it. Once the wind died down, the Nevermore was frozen on the ground, except for the head and it was unsuccessfully trying to free itself. All four Netnavis stood in front of it, ready to finish the job as well as their Net Ops.
"Mini Bomb! Battle Chip! Download!" Ruby shouted. As soon as it appeared in her hand, Fairytale Woman threw it at the grimm virus.
"Thunder! Battle Chip! Download!" Weiss called out. Snow Woman shot a ball of electricity at the Nevermore.
"Yo-yo! Battle Chip! Download!" Blake screamed. Neko Woman's left hand changed into a yo-yo that she swung at the trapped Grimm.
"Fire Tower! Battle Chip! Download!" Yang hollered. Dragon Woman put her hand to the ground and in seconds, a tower made of fire was formed and proceeded to head towards the Nevermore. All the attacks hit at the same time and all that could be heard a last painful caw. The Nevermore Virus was finally deleted. All eight of them sighed in big relief that the Nevermore was taken care of and were wondering how the other eight were doing against the Deathstalker.
Team JNPR vs Deathstalker
The other eight were facing down the Deathstalker. "Look. I know we haven't known each other for a couple of seconds for some of us, but we are future Cyber Hunters and we will not run in the face of danger!" Jaune announced. "Deathstalkers have tough armor but we do have a couple advantages.
"What advantages do we have?" Nora asked.
Ren decided to answer her question. "We're faster than the Deathstalker because of how heavy its armor is."
Pyrrha listed the second advantage. "There's also eight of us working together while the Deathstalker is by itself. So, what's the plan, Jaune?"
"We need to find a way to make a crack in it's armor so we can get to the soft, more vulnerable parts so we can delete it." Jaune explained.
"Oh! I have an idea. Ren has a Mine Battle Chip. We also have a combo move where Lotus throws a Mini Bomb and Shock Woman hits it, stunning the enemy. Though, I'm not sure how much help either one can be." Nora admitted.
Jaune knew both of those ideas would be useful but they would need to make the armor brittle. "Hey, Jaune. What about thermal fatigue?" Squire Man suggested.
"You mean when something heats up and then cools down really quickly which makes that thing brittle." Jaune said.
"Yes, Jaune. We have part of the idea with the Lava Ball Battle Chip, but we still need the Ice Ball Battle Chip." Squire Man groaned.
"Pyrrha has the Ice Ball Battle Chip which should do the trick." Magnet Woman spoke up.
After hearing that, Jaune came up with a plan that utilized the ideas everyone came up with. Once he explained it all to them, they went to work on taking the Deathstalker down.
The Deathstalker was miles from the temple looking for the prey that seemed to have gotten away from it. Suddenly, a couple of blasts hit it. It looked to see two Netnavis it was chasing earlier. It began moving in their direction.
"Looks like we got it's attention, Squire Man." Magnet Woman commented.
"Yes. It looks that way, Magnet Woman." Squire Man grinned. "Time to get this plan rolling. Jaune: It's time."
"You got it, buddy. Lava Ball! Battle Chip! Download!" Jaune called out. A lava ball appeared in Squire Man's hands. He aimed and threw the lava ball at the Deathstalker which began screeching in pain from the increasing feeling on it's body.
"Its out turn, Magnet Woman." Pyrrha smirked.
"I'm ready when you are, Pyrrha." Magnet Woman smiled.
"Ice Ball! Battle Chip! Download!" Pyrrha shouted. Then, Magnet Woman had the weapon right in her hands. She tossed it at the Grimm Virus causing it to rapidly cool down. This made the Deathstalker angry and charge at the two Netnavis. "I believe this is our sign to run, Squire Man."
"I believe you're right, Magnet Woman." Squire Man agreed. "Jaune. Email Ren and Nora that we're on our way with the Deathstalker on our tails."
With Lotus and Shock Woman, she had a rook piece in her hands. "We're queens of the castle! We're queens of the castle!" She and Nora cheered.
"Nora!" "Shock Woman!" Lotus and Ren called out.
"Yes?" They both asked their respective partners.
"We just got an email from Jaune. They're on their way." Ren said.
"Right, then." Shock Woman got serious and ready to go.
The four heard the voices of Squire Man and Magnet Woman. Hope you're ready cause we've got company on our tail!" Squire Man shouted.
Seeing the Deathstalker behind their friends, they looked at each other. "Ready to do this, Lotus?" Shock Woman asked. The answer she got was Lotus heading towards the Grimm Virus.
Lotus ran passed Squire Man and Magnet Woman. When he got closer to the Deathstalker, it raised it's pincer ready to strike Lotus down but it wouldn't get the chance to do that. "Elecshock! Battle Chip! Download!" Nora suddenly called out as Shock Woman's body was now crackling thunder.
"Here's a gift from me to you." Shock Woman grinned as she unleashed a powerful blast of electricity at the Deathstalker. One his caused it a lot of pain as well as paralyzing it. "There you go, Lotus. Now break it's legs!"
"Well, Ren. You heard the lady." Lotus shrugged.
"Yes, I did and I have the battle chip for the job. Mini Bomb! Battle Chip! Download!" Ren shouted and the weapon appeared in Lotus's hand. A second later, Lotus threw it at the Deathstalker. If the Deathstalker was angry before, it had straight up murder in its eyes now. As it watched it's attackers run away from it, it didn't realize that it's armor was beginning to crack or why its prey jumped over to a spot near the temple. Soon, one of it's feet hit a spot of the ground when suddenly an explosion happened.
Small Flashback Start
"Alright, before we do anything, we need Ren to set up the Mine Battle Chip now." Jaune said.
"I see. This way, we won't waste time later and the Deathstalker won't see it coming until it's too late." Ren realized.
"Then it goes boom." Nora grinned.
"Yes. Then that should be the end of the grimm Virus." Smiled Pyrrha.
Small Flashback End. Present Time
The eight cheered but it turns our their celebration was too soon. When the smoke cleared, the Deathstalker was still standing there but it's left claw was gone and so was its tail. It was even leaking data but there it was, still alive. Even in it's weakened state, it still planned to delete them.
"NO! This ends now! You chased us through the fake temple, led you through booby-traps, double team you and even thermal fatigue your armor but you still won't go down!" Jaune and Squire Man shouted in unison. "Pyrrha! Magnet Woman! We're about to do something that's probably not a smart move but will you both help?
"Sure." Pyrrha and Magnet Woman said together.
"Squire Slash!" Squire Man called out and his sword appeared but instead of performing his slash, he threw his blade.
"Why did he threw his blade?... Unless he wants me to use my power to control it." Magnet Woman said silently. At that moment, she took control of Squire Man's blade effectively turning it into a boomerang buzzsaw with it going back and forth on the Deathstalker until it was finally taken down.
This time, the sigh of relief as the Grimm Virus was actually deleted. "You know Ren, your combo move with Nora, I'm calling it Shockflower." Jaune said.
"We actually never came up with a name for our combo move before." Ren said.
"I like it. It sounds cool." Nora smiled. "Speaking of which, what do you call your combo move with Pyrrha?"
Jaune rubbed the back of his head. "I have no clue. I'm just glad Pyrrha and Magnet Woman agreed to it. It took a bit to plan and figure out but I'm glad you trust me."
"You're my partner, Jaune. Of course I trust you." Smiled Pyrrha while her cheeks became a little red. They wondered how the others did against the Nevermore but they would find out later.
Beacon Amphitheater. Headmaster Ozpin
Ozpin was smiling at the new students. "You all did a wonderful job. I can tell this year is going to be very interesting. Now some of you are probably wondering what I meant by 'Choose carefully the lives and destiny of four souls will depend on what choices you make. What that means is simple. You will be forming a team with people who have the same piece as you. The other meaning of that is that if you can't work together, then you are destined to fail. Together, we're stronger than we ever are apart. United we stand, divided we fall. Now, for the new teams and their leaders." This went on for a few minutes until the last groups were called. "Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos, and Lie Ren will form team JNPR led by Jaune Arc." Jaune was shocked to say the least while his team congratulated him.
"Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long will form team RWBY led by Ruby Rose." Ozpin finished as Yang hugged her sister and Blake congratulated her.
"Good job Ruby. You saved our necks several times in the Emerald Forest and when we fought Frost Woman of WorldIII." Weiss smiled.
Ruby on the other hand was a little doubtful. "This can't be right. It should be one of them since they're older."
"We will give you all time to settle into your new dorm rooms for tonight. We expect you to be ready for classes tomorrow because they start at 9:00 am. You are dismissed." Ozpin spoke.
"It looks like we'll have to keep an eye on RWBY and JNPR, Coco." Velvet said.
"You're not expecting them to be the new team STRQ, are you? That's too much pressure on them." Coco pointed out.
"No. I think they'll be even better than Team STRQ." Velvet smiled.
"Come on, Velvet. Time to go." Coco smiled back.
"You're right. Fox and Yatsuhashi are probably wondering where we're at." Velvet remembered.
"We'll make it up to them with a cup of java and data we've collected on the two daughters of Team STRQ and their team." Coco said as they both walked out with the rest of the first-years.
Hello, everyone. Hope you all like the official third chapter of Rwby: NT Warrior. First thing I will say is that this chapter definitely overtakes my previously longest chapter which was Rebirth of the Hunters Part 2 in Dustformers Season 1 by quite a bit. Anyway, in this chapter, we are introduced to Jaune, Pyrrha Nora, Ren, Coco, Velvet, and their Netnavis.
So, this chapter is basically getting to Beacon and the initiation in the Emerald Forest. However, in this fiction as you've read, the Emerald Forest here is an abandoned video game lever that unfortunately got infected with Grimm Viruses. A lot happened in the Emerald Forest that you'll want to read and talk to Mobian and me about it.
Which Netnavis do you like? Please let Mobian and I know in the comments/reviews. Also, As usual, if you have any ideas for Rwby: NT Warrior (OCs/Story Ideas), please let me and Mobian know in the comments/reviews, or personally PM us. The third option is that if you already have a portion of a chapter you'd like to see in the story, send it to us via DocX.
