Chapter 3:Teammates for life

Overhead of the emerald forest was quiet and peaceful as a small bird came flying to find a place to rest its wings. However a moment later a blue blur came rushing in and past it, scaring it.

"Whoa that was close"Zane shouted and as he went by he could hear someone yell"Birdie,no!. He turned to see Ruby flying past him and carrying her scythe. She shot off a few rounds from her Crescent Rose to slow herself down. As she did she managed to turn it into a scythe and catch the branch of a tree and started to let go falling downward at a slow pace.

Weiss,armed with her weapon called Myrtenaster, she summos a white snowflake circle underneath her. Then she leaps off it to the forest below.

Then a boy with black hair was going down and a girl with orange hair was next too him. But she began going faster and got ahead of him. The black haired boy spun in the air, eventually using his weapons that looked to be a pair of blades to spiral around a tree. He went around the large tree trunk and hit the ground. Once on the ground he wiped himself off.

Zane was trying to stop himself but soon he signed and started to focus. Then something started to wrap around his body. It seemed to be some type of metal and organic like material. As it wrapped around him it seemed like a bulky piece of armor. It was black and blue in colored mixed together with white lines around the joints and curves around certain points of his he crashed into a tree in this armor type form. He hit a branch that he felt but didn't feel much pain. Then he landed on the ground and made a small crater on the ground. He looked around clenching his fist thinking to himself.

"Ok I should probably get this stuff off, I hate using it, ''Zane thought. Then the armor started falling off when Zane relaxed a little. Once it fell off he felt a little tired. His semblance makes him feel tired from using it. But luickily it wasn't for long which won't cause too much damage.

Then he felt his side pouch and rummaged around in it. Then he felt a vial like subsistence and took it out. It wasn't dust, it was a small vial with a button on it. He looked at it with worry then put it to his neck. Pressing the button the liquid injected into his body. There was a surge of energy through him but it soon settled and he sat back up. "Dam why did the doc make this stuff strong"

Stretching his back and brushing some leaves on him he said to himself"Guess that was the easy part now off to find a…"he stopped after hearing a yell that came from what seemed to be the east. He turned to see Jaune flying awkardaly through the air twisting around in the air. A moment later a gunshot can be heard and in the opposite direction a jet propelled spear soared above him heading directly toward Jaune.

Nothing happened but for a moment and it was quiet because he heard a faint shout saying"Thank you!" from Jaune it seemed. Then from another distance someone yelled"I'm sorry!"loudly

Zane was relieved the guy didn't turn into a pancake but also wondered whose weapon that was.

"Hmm well whoever threw that spear saved Juanes ass, guess whoever saved him will be his partner's bummer" he said outloud to himself.

Then Zane started to run through the forest looking for a partner.

=RWBY=

Meanwhile in another part of the forest was Ruby who just landed without much issue and began to search for her partner who was most likly Yang.

Yang! Yang!"Ruby called out getting no answer

"Okay ruby don't panic youre going to be fine. I mean i'm sure not all the good ones have been taken. Oh,this is bad,this is really bad..what if i can't find her?what if someone finds her fist?well theres always Juane. Hes nice. He funny!..I don't think he's very good in a fight. Though ooh! What about blake?! So mysterious and calm..plus she likes books. Then again, i'm sure i'd be able to hold a conversation with him. Then their Zane guy seems nice but he seems to rely on his weapons alot"she stops day dreaming about who she can partner up with"

Then as she turns the corner time seems to slow down and she skids to a halt. In front of her was Weiss and she slowly turned to face her. She stops just in time for their eyes to meet and pause follwoes. This then ends with Weiss scoffing and turning around with her heels walking away.

Ruby was surprised and started to follow her"Wait up where are you going?! Were suppose to be teammates. Weiss is smakcing away branches and plants out of her way. Then she can hear someone talking outloud to himself it seems

Juane who was trying to free himself from the tree saying"Come on,Come on!Stupid..!"

Weiss emerges seeing Jaune hanging a few feet in the air with the spread embedded in his hood and the tree bhind him. He gives up trying to pull it out, and looks down to se weiss, and he waves back. Weiss simply head back in the direction to ruby.

Soon she reaches the girl passing her and grabbing her by the hood dragging her. "By no means this makes us friends"Weiss states

Ruby who was ovejoy whiled being dragged away stated"You came back!

Jaune is watching the scene while waving his arm to get attention"Wait come back! Whos going to get me down from here?!

Then Pyrrha seemed to have emerged from the forest and she says"Jaune?" Jaune looks down and Pyrrha looks at him saying"Do you… have any sports left on your team?

Jaune smiles with crossed arms saying"Very funny" he then looks down and gives her a smile which she returns.

=RWBY=

The scene changes to Zane who was busy fighting some Grimm without much issue. He shot one in the face which dazed it for a second. Then he rushed in with his sword stabbing it in the head. It fell to the ground and he walked up retrieving his sword.

"Hmm where the heck is everyone? I feel like I've walked around for ages. Maybe they're deeper in the forest"Zane groaned while he wiped the grimm blood on his shirt. Then he heard yelling coming from above.

"Look out below!" someone said above him and he turned.

"What the?!"Zane said before someone kicked him straight in the face. Dust was kicked up all around him and the voice said"urghhh thanks for breaking my fall". It sounded feminine and soon Zane groaned in pain.

The girl laughed on top of him saying"Hey you um…Okay?".

"Yeah well I'm happy that I broke your fall but please get up I think you broke…all of my ribs"He stated

She was surprised and got herself off of him saying"Yeah sorry about that my launch pad was a little late on well.. You know launching"

Zane got up to meet the girl and she had yellow hair that was short. Her eyes were orange and he started to talk to her.

Then the girl said"ummm do you have a partner yet?"

Zane signed getting up"Nope been looking for someone for ages it seems…...your the first person i've come across. I'm Zane Graves and you are?"

"Well that straight to the point I'm Rogue Haley…hey have you seen a girl with teal colored hair around here yet?"Rogue said

"I just said I havent seen anyone around for a while"He said with a annoyed look

"Oh right well lets get going and find those relic maybe we can fight some grimm along the way"Rogue stated while walking.

Zane looked at her without a weapon then looked around then found something. There was a large axe buried into a was colored orange and red. The axe blades seem to make a flame starting from one the ends. They were colored orange and the handle was colored red. He yelled"Hey you're forgetting your weapon!". Rogue turned around and ran back to him. She then looked at her weapon in the tree pulling it out. The thing was bigger than her and she just smiled at him. Which he returned nervously it seemed.

As they walked the girl started to ask some questions. "So Zane…where you from?"Rogue said

He held out one revolver at the ready just in case"Here actually..…I think I don't remember really"

"Wait, how can you not remember where you're from?"Rogue said with her axe on her shoulders.

"I think I lost some bits of my memorie a while back…I can remember some things but not everything"Zane said rubbing his temple

"Hmm interesting, well I'm from Argus in Mistral, me and my twin sister came here with one of our friends" she said looking around.

"Really you have a sister here, huh thats the second pair of sister i've meet here"Zane said scratching his head

"Oh I hope were on the same team that would be awesome!"Rogue yelled

"Ha yeah…..I wonder what everyone else is up to?"Zane said

=RWBY=

In another part of the forest was Yang was currently walking around looking for her little sister Ruby but was quickly started to grow bored due to the silence.

"Hello! Ruby! Anyone! Getting bored here!"Yang yelled out but got no answer.

"Ughhh this is so boring"she said to herself until a rustling of bushes could be heard. She turned thinking it was ruby. "Ruby you over here?"She said getting close to the bushes and instead of Ruby she received a roar. It was an Ursa and Yang said"Nope"As she jumped away from the claw that tried to slash her.

The grimm was large and twice Yang size and it had black furt with bones sticking out of its back. It is more bulky around the forearms and hind legs. It has sharp claws and a bone mask with red veins and bright yellow eyes.

"You guys wouldnt happen to see a girl in a red cloak would you?"she ask casually

The pair of uras roared as they went to charge at her. With a flick of her wrist her bracelets activated. Her weapons covered her entire wrist as it wrapped around her lower wrist as a barrel poped out on the side and dust rounds were seen underneath wrapped around her wrist.

As they charged yang reeled her right hand back into a fist and once the grimm got close she punched the grimm which fired a blast at the grimm sending it back a ways. The other grimm charged at her as Yang rolled away from the attack then quickly delivered an uppercut to it sending it toad its buddy.

"You guy could've just said no"She said as the frist Ursa charged at her and swiped at her. Yang easily dodge it easily.

"C'mon you guys couldnt hit the side of a "she said but something came in her line of sight which was a small strand of hair that fell to the ground.

There are many things you don't mess with about Yang. One was her sister Ruby, another was her bike that she has, and the third big thing was her hair.

Yang closed her eyes for a moment then the anger inside her boiled.

"You…MONSTERS!"she roared as her lilac colored eyes suddenly became a menacing red color as she brought her fists together which triggered her semblance. Her hair flared to life as she propelled herself intot th eursas as she delvieed a series of combo punches at the first ursa pummeling it until it evaporated into black smoke.

The other Ursa was still kicking and roared at her"What you want some too!?"yang yelled

The ursa reared up prepared for an attack…but then a whirring noise is heard and the monster makes a befuddled face. Then falling down a second later to reveal Blake with her sword in the beast back

Yang begins to pant, exhausted while Blake recalls her weapon back to her hand, she then sheaths it on her back and smiles to the side. Yang whos eyed turned back to purple saying"I could have taken him"

"Really it didn't look like that"Blake joked

Yang just rolled her eyes smiling saying"Ok guess your my partner lets go find that temple"the two headed toward the direction of the temple. But above a large black feather floated down behind them.

=RWBY=

Eira wasn't having much of the good time. She finds the natrue around her to be annoying. Because she wanted to stay away from getting it dirty. As she walked she talked outloud"Where the hell are you Rogue I thought we were supposed to meet up?urghhh maybe you got distracted again…god I hope your okay". As she continued to walk there was a growl.

It didn't sound like an ursa or beowulf to her. Soon the ground started shaking underneath her and the grimm got closer. Then from the brush an ape-like creature appeared before her. The grimm had black fur as it not only walks on its back limbs and forearms. It's chest was toned with the ribs on the outside of its chest. A large bone mask with only one eye and red veins around its mask.

Eria groaned at the sight of the grimm saying"Really….. guess I gotta deal with some pest". The grimm ignored her pounding its chest before roaring at its prey before it. Eria reached on her back pulled out her bat, then pressing a button changing it into her lever action shotgun.

She fired into the grimms chest but it shrugged it off charging at her. She dodge it using her semblance to create ice sliding to the side. She kept firing at it but the thing wouldn't stop purseuing her. As she ran she sprayed the ground with ice causing the large monkey-like grimm to slide into a tree. She turned around smiling stating"That what you get for messing with me you ugly–"she was cut off with the ape getting back up. Eria was surrpsied by this and the creature then hit her, launching her into a tree.

She was getting up slowly from the impact groaning and coughing"arghh that hurt…and now I gotta clean my dress"

She looked up at the ape rushing at her again and she closed her eyes waiting for her fate. But there was silence and soon enough she reopened her eyes. There stood a girl with her right hand up and it seemed to be glowing. The Grimm was covering its eyes because it was blinded by the light.

"You ok?"the girl said, turning around and her eyes were covered except for one which was colored black. While Eria had teal eyes both of them.

"Urghh yeah but that damn dirty ape ruined my favorite dress!"she exclaimed

The girl laughed saying"Well let's return the favor and dirty him up"

Eria smiled and the girl stopped creating the orb of light. The ape was trying to regain its vision but before he did Eria picked up her shotgun turning it back into a bat. She then began to freeze it over with her semblance running up to the beast.

It soon regained its vision and roared but before it did anything. Eria smacked it right in the face launching it into a rock. She was breathing heavily and the other girl was surrpsied by this. Then she commented saying"Nice swing" running toward the creature with her weapon. It was a staff with blades at the end. The Ape was getting back up and the girl jumped onto its back burying her blade into its neck. The beast made one last noise before it disappeared.

Eria was wiping the sweat off her brow in relief"glad that over and done but now I need a hot shower"

"Hmm yeah you kinda do smell"the girl stated

Eria looked at her with a blank expression saying"funny and you are?"

"Onxyia Blair and you are?"she extended her hand

"I'm Eria Hayley"She shook the girls hand

Eria exmianed the girl and the girl looked at her strangely. Eria looked at her from head to toe and the girl seemed to have noticed.

"Look…..if your going to say it just say it"Onxyia told her

Eria had her hand on her chin then said"You remind me of a friend because of you hmmm….being tall" Onxyia looked at her with confusion then had a look of what just happened.

"Wait,wait,wait,wait you're not bothered by this"Pointing at the ears on the top of her head then at her tail on her back.

"Why would I exactly be bothered by that?Their just a pair of ears and a cute tail"Eria stated smiling

"um …well I'm a faunus. You know like a third rate citizen, a beast. People who are ridiculed for being different along with people like the white fang who are also faunus!? And did you just call my tail cute." Onxyia said still confused

"Ok so what, you're a Faunus. You're still a human being right?" Eria stated

"Um….well yeh and—"But she was interrupted

"Their you have it so what if you got ears and a tail now lets go, maybe we can find my sister and her partner"Eria stated running toward the temple

Onxyia stood their flabebrgasterd at what just happen before saying"hey wait up…you got a sister?"

=RWBY=

The scene then changes to weiss and ruby who were fighting off a hoard of beowulf. Ruby was swinging her scythe around then shooting it. While Weiss shot at them with her sword and summoning glyphs.

Ruby kept firing her scythe and soon she reloaded it and Weiss looked around them. The beowulf were surrounding them now and their was a large pack of them. Then she grabbed Ruby arm stating"We have to go!"

She started to lead ruby away out the forest that was in blaze as it started engulffinf the the grass. The grimm roared and started running back the way they came while a few suffered in the fire. Ruby and Weiss continued to run a safe distance away until they finally stopp

Weiss leans over panting with ruby looking behind her. Then back at weiss saying"What was that?! That shoulve been easy!

"Well perhaps if you had exercised the slightest amount of caution with the placement of your strikes. I wouldnt have to set the forest on fire!"

Ruby scoffs micmking her then saying"whats that suppose to mean?

Weiss closed her eye then telling her"I'm just surprised someone who talks so much would communicate so little during an encounter!

"Well i'm sorry you need my help to win a fight. I'm justf fine on my own!"she yelled at Weiss

"Well guess what congratulations on being the strongest child to sneak into beacon Bravo!"she said with a clap being to walk off.

Ruby eye tiwtched and she screamed agitated. Then unfolding her crescent rose slashing a nearby tree. The tree was sliced down to the stump then she refold it back and follows her partner as the tree crashes down behind her. Neither noticed a large dark feather floating down on the fallen trunk behind them.

In another part of the forest Pyrrha Nikos had her weapon out named Milo and Akouo and Juane Arc were making their was through the bushes. Juane hears some noise saying"Did you hear that?

Prryha turned and stated"Gunfire, seems our comrades have encountered the enemy"

They kept moving but Juane still stared at the sounds and continued to follow. Pyrrha raised a branch to pass by and accidentally released it straight into Jaunes face making him fall to the ground immediately.

Pyrrha looked behind with her hand covering her mouth saying"Jaune i'm sorry!"

Jaune laughs lowering his hand on his cheek to reveal a gash from the wooden recoil"I'm okay its just a scratch". As he get back up Pyrrha approaches him. He looked at her weird until she exmianed his face.

"Why didn't you activate your aura?"she asked with a confused lone

Juane looked at her strange saying"huh?"Then pyrrha asked again"Your aura?". Juane then said"gesundheit"

"Juane do you….know what Aura is?"

Juane waves his hands in the airs avoiding eye contact"Psch of I do! Do you know what aura is?"he said pointing a finger

Pyrrha smiles at him and get ready to explain what it is. While a boy in the tall grass walks through it.

"Aura is the manifestation of our soul. It bears our burdens and shields out hearts. Have you ever felt like you were being watch without knowing that someone was their"Pyrrha said

Juane looked surprised and said"Uh..yeah actually

The boy in the grass stops looking around and notices a large black grimm snake. It rises from the grass behind him quickly surrounding him while hssing. The boy gets into a fighting stance as the snake coils together in front of him and attacks with long fangs

"With pratice out aura can be our shield. Everyone one has it,even animals"She says while smiling

"And what about monsters?"juane asked

Pyrrha thought for a moment before saying "no, the monsters we fight lack a are creatures of grimm, the manifestation of anonymity. They are darkness, and we are the light"

The boy continues to fight the large snake grimm, the snake then hits him with its snout knocking him back. He lands in a couch position with the serpent circling him. And soon he unleashes his weapon again, firing at the he kicks up its snout, slashing its neck off.

"right ,that why we fight them"Juane exclaimed

"it's not about why; it's about knowing, understanding dark and light helps us manifest out aura"

The snake flows around the boy and tried to him again before he slashed it. Then he flips over it and drives his weapons into its head. Pausing for a moemnt without sensing the white head of the serpent behind him. He then turns to look at the white head before it launches at him. He doged it just in time before the head chases after him. As it get closer he runs at it and leaps onto the black head sliding over its body and blasting the other head.

Juane is opening his eye with a new revelation"Its sort of like a force field"

Pyrrha laughs saying"yes, if you want to look at it that way"

The boy is now holding the front fangs of the colossal snake in his hands, glowing a faint pulsating pinkas he grips the teeth and yanks them from the monsters mouth,causing it to flail away. It tries to bite him again but he spins to the side before driving the makeshift weapons into the skull which ripples, expands, and soon blows aprt in a dark mess as its headless body fall over. Then he runs to the other head.

Pyrrha walks over to juane and touches the side of his hed"Now close your eyes and concentrate

Juane was confused and said"uhh….okay"

She smiles and closes her own eyes, opening them as her skin glows on and her irises shrink before shutting them again. They stand there for a good while, and now pyrrha glowing a fiery red and juane a bright white.

Pyrrha seems to be speaking mentally"for it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all, infinite in distance and unbound by death" she places a hand on her chest then continuing"I release your soul, and by my shoulder protect thee". Then her skin stops glowing red and she hunches over in a tired state

Jaune looked at himself concerned then back at pyrrha"Pyrrha?"

She got back up saying"it's alright. I used my aura to unlock yours, but the energy that protect you now is your own" she then grins as she watches the scratch on his face close up and vanish"you have alot of it actually"she said.

Juane looks at his hand that were glowing smiling saying"wow"quiely

Then at the same time the boy stands atop the body of his enemy sliding the weapons into his seelves and brushing them off before a strange animal like noise is heard above him twice. He looks at an upside girl with orange hair smiling

The boy chuckles saying"I still don't think that what a sloth sound like"

The girl then boops his nose causing him to smile and her as well.
