Here it is chapter 3, thanks for all the follows and reviews. Sorry for the long wait.
This chapter will have some team members meet before fully forming, with some new Grimm. Enjoy.
"Normal talking"
'Thinking talking'
Communication devices
All first year students have gathered around beacon cliff for initiation, Ozpin and Glynda standing between them and special platforms behind them.
"Today all of you are here to become hunters, protectors of the innocent, defenders of the kingdoms of Remnant. And we are here to ensure that dream becomes a reality." Ozpin's speech caused several students to cheer with excitement.
Stepping aside "Now everyone please take a spot and receive instructions for the exam."
The students each took a platform ready to go.
Before Jaune, Skoll and Hati by his side, took his spot. Ozpin stopped them.
"I'm sorry Mr. Strife. But you're wolves will have to stay behind."
Both wolves growled at him, before Jaune tapped their side, stopping their growling. "What do you mean?"
"This is to see your combat capabilities with the other students, they will have to remain here until you return."
Jaune looked at them and gave a frustrated sigh. "Fine, sorry guys." Walking toward the platforms.
Skoll and Hati grabbed the endings of his cape tugging him back, turning around to see them whining, ears down giving him puppy eyes.
Jaune's ears dropped and frowned at them before kneeling down to them, placing a comforting hand on their face, letting go of his cape.
"It's alright guy I'll be back. I promise it's just something I have to do." Both groaned lightly, Jaune suddenly looked worried. "That won't happen, I promise." He brought them in for a hug, which returned with one paw.
The students and even Goodwitch couldn't help but "awe" at the sight. While Ozpin was more curious about what Jaune was referring too.
"Mr. Strife!" Jaune turned to look at Ozpin. "If you do not mind, we have a tight itinerary." Ozpin smiled at him. "I promise Professor Goodwitch will take excellent care of them until you return."
Glynda looked at him shocked. "Excuse me!" Before she could protest further both wolves happily barked and trotted over to her.
Jaune chuckled at them, while she just protested them getting closer to her.
Pulling his helmet over his head, ears popped from the top and eyes glowed blue.
Walking to his platform he couldn't help but notice some of the male students have similar armor and some weapons to his. 'A Lot of fans at this school. Should make things easy.'
Taking a spot between Ren and another student, standing 6'5" with orange buzz cut hair in tan plate armor, eagle emblem on his chest and a giant mace on his back.
He looked at Jaune with disgust, while Ren paid him no mind.
Ozpin stepped forward and gave his instructions. "I have placed relics in the forest. Your job is to retrieve them and bring them here."
"While In the forest if you come across other students you are to form teams with them."
Ruby panicked at hearing that, looking at Yang who smiled and winked at her, putting sunglasses on.
Ozpin pulled out his tablet and began pressing buttons. "Safe landing."
Jaune spoke up. "Wait, what was…AAHH." Him and the other students launched into the air, flying into the forest. "damn it OZPIN!"
Oz chuckled. "This may turn out to be quite the year. Wouldn't you say Professor Goodwitch?" Smiling at her.
"I suppose so." Turning to see Skoll and Hati walk closer to her. Raising a finger to them. "No no no." Pointing at them. "Sit!" The wolves did as instructed. Surprising her. "Lay down." They did. "Roll over." Rolling to their left. Glynda put her hand on her chest and gushed at them.
Turning back to Ozpin, who was smiling at her, composing herself, and looking at her own tablet, with glances at the wolves.
(Line break)
Ren pulled out his swords and hooked onto a tree and spiraled down the trunk.
Yang used her gauntlets to launch herself further and faster into the air, laughing and cheering the whole time, with a giant smile.
Weiss used her glyphs to slow herself down and jump into the trees.
Pyrrha used her shield to crash through several trees. Landing on one safely, she turned her sword gold and red in an M1 Garand and used the scope, seeing the students landing safely.
Her eyes landed on Jaune, who was frailing in the way.
Flipping her rifle around turning it into a spear. Taking aim, throwing it with a gun shot in the back.
*thunk* "thank you."
"I'm sorry!" Waving in that direction.
Ruby used her guns recoil to slow herself down, using her scythe to hook a branch, spinning in place before landing on the ground and starting to run.
'Gotta find Yang, gotta find Yang. Oh gods what if she's already on a tram of four? Who else is there?'
A thought bubble of childish drawings of Blake and Ruby appeared. 'There's Blake. She's nice, mysterious and she likes books, but probably can't keep a conversation going.' The bubble showed Jaune. 'There's Jaune, he's nice, can fight, has two cute doggies, and tall and his hands are..' her face lit up red, shaking her head. 'No bad thoughts! Bad thought! Huh, who is there..'
Coming to a screeching stop at seeing Weiss just in front of her.
Weiss looked at her and walked away.
"Hey wait! We're supposed to be on a team?" Ruby almost whined, lowering her head.
After walking a few yards through brush and grasses. Weiss came across Jaune, with a spear through his cape just above his head.
Wrapping his feet around the end of the spear wiggling it up and down before finally pulling it out.
"HA! AH!" Landing on his back groaned in pain, before the spear sticked into the ground, inches from his head.
Weiss stomped back towards Ruby. "By no means does this make us friends." Grabbing her hood and dragging her.
"You came back!" Ruby cheered.
Jaune popped from the bushes, looking at the girls walking away. 'Good luck Ruby.'
Pulling out the spear, examining it. "What do you say we bring you to your master?" Lowering his ear to it and laughing. "Couldn't agree more. Let's go guys."
Turning around and suddenly worried, before realizing. "Oh Duh." Laughing at himself before walking towards where the spear came from.
(Weiss and Ruby)
Weiss and Ruby were walking, Weiss leading the way.
"Just try and keep up, if I mess up getting Pyrrha on my team because you're too slow.." Ruby suddenly appeared in front of her, pawing at her like a cat.
"I'm not slow, you don't have to worry about me." She proudly stated.
Weiss turned around confused. "How did you…?"
"Weiss, just because I'm not good with people doesn't mean I'm useless." Ruby put her arm over her shoulder. "You're about to see a whole new side of me today. You're going to think." extending her arm out. "Wow, that girl is amazing." Taking her arm back. "Come on, we gotta get a move on." Ruby disappeared into rose petals.
"Just because you're fast, doesn't mean you understand the importance of efficiency."
Weiss added, following Ruby.
She was stopped by a pack of Beowulf pups, and alphas Appeared from the tree line. Drawing her dust hilted rapier, taking her fighting stance.
'Focus on your target, steady your breathing, extend your front foot forward. Not that forward.' The chamber on her guard rotated, landing on a red crystal. She lunged forward to strike at a pup.
Ruby appeared out of nowhere, slashing at the Grimm Weiss was going to attack.
She clumsily redirects her attack, launching a wave of fire at a nearby tree.
Distracted from the fire, Ruby barely blocked another wolf slash, pushing into Weiss.
"Hey, watch it." Ruby snapped at Weiss.
"You attacked out of turn, I could have killed you." Weiss snapped back.
"You'll have to try a lot harder than that." Ruby cycled another round into the chamber of her scythe.
Both girls were surrounded, before anyone could do anything the tree fell over spreading between them and the Grim.
Weiss grabbed Ruby's shoulder. "We have to get out of here." Ruby nodded and grabbed onto Weiss, before she could protest they dashed away from the fire.
The Grim howled and scattered from the area.
Ruby was panting from the dash while Weiss was trying to balance herself.
Ruby looked from the fire back at Weiss. "What was that! That should have been easy!"
Weiss centered herself. "We'll perhaps if you wouldn't have just blindly jumped in my way. I wouldn't have burned the forest down!"
Ruby scuffed at the comment. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"It's just so funny how someone who talks so much can't even handle simple communications."
Ruby crossed her arms over her chest. "Well I'm sorry you need my help to win a fight. I do just fine on my own."
"Well congratulations on being the strongest child who snuck into Beacon." Weiss walked away from.
Ruby yelled in annoyance, pulling out Crescent Rose, blade facing up, slicing a tree in half. Before following Weiss.
Both not noticing the thunder blast or the giant black feather landing behind them.
(Blake)
After landing from her free falling, she roamed the forest trying to find people.
'Why! Why here! Of every academy, every kingdom, every continent, Why here!?' Running her hands through her hair, tears started to forming, afraid of seeing Fenrir here and what might happen to her.
Her thoughts were interrupted, when heard some goatish growling. Looking to see a 10 foot tall, lightly armored Satyr Grimm, with swirling horns.
Reaching behind her drawing a black 4 foot long wide scimitar like blade with a white cutting edge facing the opposite end of the barrel of the Glock guard/handle with a black ribbon beneath the extended clip.
The Grim roared and charged her.
Throwing the sword, holding onto the ribbon, using the gun's recoil to build up momentum, swinging the sword.
The Grimm ducked under the sword and rammed its head at her.
Using a shadow clone to jump over it. Pulling the ribbon back, grabbing the handle. Grabbing the back of the blade, drawing a Thinner 2 ½ foot long clipped point curved blade, holding the back of the wider blade.
Slashing at the Grimms back with a spinning attack, doing minor damage to it.
The Grimm ram through a tree, turning around growling, he grabbed the tree and threw it at her. Jump and running along it, jumping off that the end of it.
While in the air the thinner blade collapsed into a sickle and she started shooting at its face.
The Grimm, irritated by the bullets swatted at her.
She summoned another clone to take the blow, stucking the sickle into its hand.
Using the momentum of the hand to wrap the ribbon around its body. The cutting edge on the wide blade glowed and she flew straight to its neck, "AAHH." slicing its head off his shoulders.
The body started to dissolve leaving the mask, horns and plates behind.
Blake landed and pulled the ribbon forward. Grabbing it and quickly sheathing it and attaching it to her back.
She looked at Grimm's decaying corpse and couldn't help but smile at herself.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard shotgun-like blasts nearby.
(Yang; a few moments earlier.)
"Ruby! Ruby! Where are you?"
A branch breaking caught her attention, pushing some bushing apart.
"Ruby?" Intense growling followed. "Nope!"
Jump away from three ursa's, two alphas, one large and more battle worn then the other, and one cub.
Charging out of the bushes.
Landing away from them, her bracelets started to cover her entire forearms and knuckles. Eagerly smirking at them.
"Have any of you three seen a girl in a red hood?" The three Grimm scattered. "Papa" to the right, "Mama" to the left and "baby" charged straight at her.
"Baby" pounced at her, Yang grabbed its head and rolled to her back, punching both gauntlets on its midsection and fired a shotgun blast launching it from the area.
"A simple no would have worked." Looking up from the ground.
"Mama" stomped at her, Yang back leaped away. Flying at "Papa" punching it in the chest with a blast, causing it to fly back.
"Mama" swatted at her but she ducked and delivered a gut punch followed by an uppercut blast.
"Papa" tried to tackle her from behind, but she dodged by jumping over his body and it crashed into "Mama."
Landing and laughing at them. "You guys couldn't hit the board…" she stopped and noticed a single blond hair falling from the air following it to the ground. "You!.." eyes turned red.
Both Grimm looked at each other and growled "huh?"
"YOU BASTARDS." Hair burst into flames, launched at them. Sucker punched "Papa", Turning its back to her and grabbing "Mama" by the head, lifting it over her head and slammed it down on "Papa" impaling both of them on each other's back spikes, with a loud yell.
Breathing heavily, eyeing returning to normal, taking a deep breath and steadied herself.
She pulled her hair over her shoulder and gently stroked it and nuzzled her face into it. "Shh, It's okay sweetie mommies here. I won't let these meanies hurt you."
So distracted by her cooing she reacted in time to notice "Baby" about to slash at her.
Before its claws could touch her, "baby" was cut in half, The body fell apart and revealed Blake behind it.
Looking at Yang, still holding her hair. "Are you cuddling your hair?" She asked with a disturbed look on her face.
Yang's eye darted from her hair to Blake, tossing her hair back, scoffed at the question, putting her hand on a tree. "No! I was just… I had a..." She stuttered trying to come up with something.
She looked at the decaying bear and smirked. "Thanks for the help, pretty kitty." Pointing a finger gun and wink, trying to change the subject.
Blake's eyes widened and dashed at her.
"Why did you call me that!" She demanded angrily.
"Whoa whoa!" Yang raised her hand with a surprised/worried look on her face. "I saw you land earlier, it was really cat-like."
"Oh. Sorry." she looked away embarrassed by her outburst.
Yang lowered her hands and looked at her confused, before a smirk appeared. "Let me guess more of a dog person?" Putting her hand on her swayed hips.
Blake looked at her confused "No."
"Birds? Hamsters? How about a goldfish? Or maybe a…" her sentence was interrupted by a sudden thunderclap. Startling both girls, looking at the direction it came from.
"We should probably get moving?" Blake suggested. Pulling Gamble Shroud from the ground.
Yang nodded in agreement as the two walked off.
(With Ren)
"Aarrr." Ren was roaming the area making funny animal noises, trying to find Nora.
"Bbbaaa." Sigh and pinching his nose. "What am I doing?" Dropping his hand and chuckling at himself "Trying to find the woman I love and let her know I'm going with her plan. Duh." Continuing to make noises.
"Mmm…" stopping mid sound and ducked out of the way a giant bone blade appeared from the tree line. Another came down to stab him but he rolled out of the way and flipped to his feet.
Drawing both swords taking a fighting stance, left sword over his head, right extended in front of him.
Stepping from the tree. Was a 10 foot tall praying mantis Grimm, with a black underbody and armored upper and head with massive spinned sword-like arms, black legs with white fork-like spines and yellow glowing eyes. Insect
Like hissing at Ren.
Ren activated gun modes and fired at it.
The fleshweaver leaped in the air towards him, arms raised, landing and dropping blades at him.
Ren rolled forward, blade sticking in the ground, under its body. Turning to sword mode and slashed its under body.
The Grimm flipped to its back, standing upside down, dragging its arms through the ground.
Ren crossed his blades and blocked the attack, sliding back, arms shaking from the impact.
The Grimm flipped right side up and charged at Ren, slashing vertically with its right blade.
Ren hooked his swords together and parried the attack, sticking in the ground. Spinning around and releasing his left hand and swung the handle at its head.
The Grimm dodged the attack, slashing at Ren with its free blade.
Ren back flipped out of the way, creating distance from it.
'This thing is nimble. Have to catch it by surprise.' Cross his arms over his chest. Pink petals appeared and floated around him in the air.
Confused, its opponent disappeared. The Grimm scanned the area, hissing and clicking, crouching low to the ground.
Ren waited for it to come close to him, as soon as its head reached him. The petals disappeared and hooked his left sword onto its necks.
Hissing and pulling its head back and Ren along with it. Ren spinned around its neck, hooking both swords. Stomping on its head and pulling the blades through its neck.
Leaping off its collapsing body, flipping in the air landing in a crouching pose. The Grimms body crashing down behind him, the head landing beside Ren
Ren stared head in disgust, spitting at it. Storing his swords and standing straight and fixing his shirt. "Wasn't so tough."
"Bragh. Bragh." Nora appeared hanging upside in a tree next to Ren smiling at him.
Ren turned to her and smiled at her. "I still don't think that's what a sloth sounds like."
Nora Poked his nose. "Bop." Ren's smile just grew.
(Back with Jaune)
Sword drawn, with a 1½ foot long, wide 1A blade with a white pattern, chopping through branches and branches, spear on back. Grumbling to himself.
"Ooo I'm professor Ozpin." Chop. "I throw students off of cliffs." Slash. "Who cares if they get hurt." Slash. "I'm sorry Mr. Strife but your wolves will have to stay here, so I can see you. MHM MHM MHM."
His ranting ceased when his ears twitched at crushing steps coming towards him. Turning to see 7 ash covered Beowulfs, 5 pups and 2 alphas
Jaune tilted his head. "What happened to you guys?" Two pups pounced at him.
Jaune sidestepped to his left. Decapitating the closest one, charging and stabbing the other in the body.
Pulling the sword out. "Haha, you idiots ran into the wrong guy." The blade disappeared and placed it on the scabbard. "Because I have…" Grabbing the spear, he accidentally hit the trigger and fired it, hanking his arm with the force, falling to his stomach.
The Grimm followed the spear flying out of sight. Looking back at him confused.
Looking at them. "Heh heh. Well, this is awkward." Another pup lunged at him.
Rolling to his back drawing his sword and attaching the shield to his arm, activating heater shield mode covering his body and head.
The pup landed on the shield and pinned him to the ground, scratching at it.
Taking the sword now with a 2 foot long 5c blade, with yellow pattern, stabbed it through its head, shoving it off him.
Standing to his feet another one slashed at him with its right claw. Blocking it with his shield and stabbing it in the side of its face in a reverse grip.
Freeing the sword, just in time to stop the fifth from biting him by shrinking the shield and jamming its mouth open.
The Grimm thrashed its claws around trying to get him. The shield extended, severing its face.
An alpha claw strikes through the pup's head, hitting the shield, throwing Jaune towards the other alpha behind him.
The blade turned to a 3 foot long 4D+ blade, before slashing at the Grimms face, staggering from the attack.
The other Alpha roared charged and slashed its right claw at him.
Jaune turned and stopped the attack with his shield. Shrinking the blade to two feet long, stabbing it in its arm, Alpha roared in pain.
Jaune rolled to his back and pulled the arm and Grimm with him. Pushing his shield against its body, throwing it at the other alpha.
Standing to his feet turning his shield into a kite shield, charging at them.
Both alphas untangled themselves. The front pounced at him and the other one charged.
Jaune ducked under the jumping Grimm, slashing at its under body. Jump out of the way of the other, sending an electric slash at them, temporarily stunning them.
'These things are tough, need less skill, more power.' The shield collapsed and shrinked, placing it on his left hip.
The blade widened and grew 6 feet long, the black on the blade evaporated, turning the whole blade yellow, with small electrical jolts around the blade. Holding it over his right shoulder, behind his back.
The Grimm stared him down, growling intensifying. After a few moments, they charged and pounced on the air claws raised.
Jaune slashed from his shoulder to his left side. Launching the blade and severing and exploding their bodies, scattering body parts over the area, releasing a thunder-like boom.
The area began to fill with smoke from the packs bodies.
A 3 foot long of the same blade appeared and rested it on his shoulders, laughing to himself. "Chalk up another win for…"
Jaune? A gentle feminine voice called
Startled, pointing the sword where the voice came from, only to find no one there.
Jaune! A more masculine voice called out.
Startling him, turning that way again, no one was there.
"Oh no."
RUN! Both voices shouted!
Dropping the sword and running out of the smoke, panicked, throwing his helmet off his head.
Falling to his knees, heading on the ground, racing heart, breathing heavily trying to calm down.
"It's not real, it's not real." Repeating himself over and over. Body shaking from the sudden rush, taking deep breaths to calm his shaking.
Rolling to a sitting position he finally calmed down. Tears in his eyes.
'Damn it those two were right, I hate it when that happens.' He chuckled to himself.
"Jaune!" Looking to see Pyrrha rushing toward with a worried look on her.
He covered his eyes.
"Jaune are you okay? What happened?" Once she reached him, kneeled down to him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder
Taking his hands off his eyes. "Pyrrha, hey! How's it going?" Standing up and Dusting himself off.
She ignored the question and placed her hand on his face. "Are you okay?"
She stared at him with concern and worry in her eyes.
He gently took her hand off his face. "Ye. Yeah. I..I'm fine. I Just.. tripped." was his best response.
"Jaune?"
"We should probably get going." Walking past her grabbing his sword, blade changing to 1 ½ foot long wide 3A blade.
"Jaune I.." Pyrrha tried to talk to him.
He turned around and pointed at her spear on her back. "Hey you found it, good." She looked behind and looked back at him, her face really looking worried.
"We really should get a move on. You heard Ozpin."
"We have a very tight itineraries." Jaune posed and voiced mockingly, causing Pyrrha to chuckle lightly.
Putting his helmet back on, walking off. Pyrrha followed behind. Catching up to him, she couldn't help but wonder 'Did. Did his eyes change colors?"
(Omake puppy love)
Professor Ozpin was watching students through cameras hidden all over the forest.
"The teams are almost formed." Swiping through the screens seeing the students together.
Yang and Blake, Ren and Nore, Ruby and Weiss, sighing at the two constantly arguing with each other.
'I do not envy you Miss. Rose.' Swiping to a video of Jaunes moments before meeting Pyrrha.
His eyes saddened at seeing the poor boy. "It seems that Mr. Arc is worse off than I originally thought."
Sending the video to a special file. "It seems he will require some physiological assistance. What do you think; Professor Goodwitch?" Ozpin asked, receiving no answer. "Professor?.." turning around and was shocked at what he saw
"Oh you are just so precious, yes you are, yes you are." Glynda cooed, kneeling on the ground.
"You are just so sweet and oh such soft fluffy fur you have." Scratches Skoll's belly, tail was wagging nonstop and leg kicking like crazy from the attention.
Hati crawled towards her and pushed her right arm with his head.
She turned and saw him giving her a begging face. *Gasp* "I didn't forget you!" Scratching his ears. "How can I forget you and those pretty eyes?"
Hati rested his head on her lap, his tongue hung at the side of his mouth making happy groans from the scratches.
Both wolves were in heaven from her petting and scratches, Glynda smiled to herself, enjoying how soft and silky their fur was.
"Professor Goodwitch!" Ozpin shouted.
Starting Glynda out of her trance. "What? Oh huh..." grabbing her tablet, scrambling to her feet. Clearing her throat and brushing herself off. Randomly tapping and swiping, trying to act like she was paying attention.
Skoll and Hati look at each confused from her sudden stooping.
Oz laughed at the scene before turning back to the forest with a serious expression on his face. 'I promise Lupa, I will bring him back.'
Chapter complete. This was tough, like I said it was tough to write the fights. I hope everyone liked them. I hope I did a good job setting up the Grimm rankings.
Also I changed Blake top blade to more like a Chinese war sword, still works the same just has stabbing capabilities.
Also the black pattern on Jaunes sword stays and the white changes.
What did you guys think of how Ren's semblance works? Until next time.
