Skye speaks, "We could make our last stand here, and fight off the Grimm, look like badasses then collapse and become beowolf feed, or-" she points to the relics, "we could grab the relics and run, I would go with choice number two numbnuts," she said picking up a bishop relic.
"Run and live that I can live with," Jaune said picking up a knight relic.
"Well said friend," Ruby said picking up a bishop relic. Looking back at the Grimm, they seemed to have stopped, "is it just me or have those Grimm stopped their chase?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah, they have," Yang noted cautiously.
"Well then, let's get going no sense in staying and testing them," Weiss said annoyed.
"Right you are, c'mon we've got our objective, let's get out of here," Ruby said to the group. Turning and running the Grimm seemed to make no attempt at stopping them. 'Suspicious, could this be her doing?' Ruby thought to herself, it's not a secret to her at this point that various older Grimm seem to only observe her whenever she was out on a mission, however still attempting to try to piece together why they do so has baffled her, her only guess is that Salem was observing her, 'Wonder why she's been keeping an eye on me, shouldn't she just try to kill me outright? What is your game, and why do you keep playing it?' ruby thought as she looked into the eyes of the elder beowolf.

"Headmaster, we should have Oobleck and Port intervene with those elder Grimm before they can harm any of the other testees," Glynda said sternly.
"Hmm, yes go ahead, send the message to them, the only students within sight of the Grimm have already left," Ozpin said looking at the screen, watching how they only seemed to observe one student, the records state that her name is Ruby Rose and that she graduated signal two years early, which in itself wouldn't trouble him, plenty of students have done the same, the snag, however, is that last name of her's, 'summer's daughter has come to beacon early, I wonder why I wasn't let known by Qrow earlier? He's usually very onto of these matters' Ozpin thought to himself, he himself now observing miss Rose much more closely now, 'Miss Rose you are hiding something important from me, and I intend to find out what that is. If qrow didn't let me know about you coming early, then I certainly have a larger problem I need to unroot,' he noted in thought, making a mental note to look into the girl's transcripts and history, something wasn't quite right here, like she had a second identity to her.
"Headmaster?" Glynda asked getting Ozpin's attention.
"Hmm, what is it, Glynda?" Ozpin asked.
"Why are you observing, let me look her up...Ruby Rose so much, I understand that she's Summer's daughter, but you seem to be paying more attention to a student than usual," she asked.
"It's nothing, I thought I saw something in the background, forget about it," he said hinting for Glynda to drop the question.
"If you say so sir," she replied

"Okay we're almost there, c'mon I think I own all of you lunch at least," Ruby said to the group.
"Yeah? How come you say that red?" Skye said while digging through her pack for her grappling hook.
"Dunno, just feel a real bond from between all of us due to this whole day," Ruby replied smiling.
"Well shelve that thought for later Ruby because we got a large cliff face between us and safety, anyone got a rope?" Jaune asked the group.
"Yeah yeah hold on, here it is, my favorite little gift sis has given me, my grappling hook, gotten me out of many a shitty situation like this," She said before firing the hook's launching device at the mountain. Finding its target Skye launched herself to the top of the cliff, finding a sturdy tree she tied the grappling hook's rope to the tree and dropped the rope down to the rest of the group, each of them climbing up the rope one at a time.
"You go on ahead Jaune, I'll keep watch for us," Ruby said sending Jaune off ahead to climb the rope up first, leaving her alone at the bottom of the cliff, a misty fog settled in as they were waiting, 'Convenient, hopefully, nothing too eventful happens, I mean saying that just jinxed me but whatever,' she thought to herself cocking Crescent rose. A howl came from the forest.
"Ruby! Everything okay down there!," Yang shouted from atop the cliff.
"Yeah just some fog and a rowdy beowolf, I'm fine, coming up right now!" Ruby shouted back, "better just be a friggin beowolf, I swear if it's that elder, I'm gonna lose it," she thought to herself, walking to the rope, she gave it a good tug before climbing up herself. Making her way up slowly, she eventually reached a point above the fog and she got a clear view of the valley below, 'and that's why I should never look down, brothers above, that's a deep chasm,' she thought while continuing to climb up.
Reaching the top of the cliff she got helped up by Yang and Skye, "Hey scrapper, you took your time to climb up, enjoying the views," Skye said smirking.
"Yeah something like that," Ruby responded patting herself off of rock dust.
"Yeah well let's get out of here, place gives me the creeps, and I'm not talking about the Grimm," Skye said packing away her grappling hook. Everyone looked at their pieces and walked off to turn them in.

"Ruby Rose, Neo Politan, Skye Argent, Blake Belladonna, you four have retrieved the bishop, from now on you shall work together as team RANB (Rainbow), led by Ruby Rose!" Ozpin said smiling.
"Thank you, Headmaster," Ruby said mimicking the smile, walking off the stage she sees her sister and her team line up.
"Jaune Arc, Weiss Schnee, Yang Xiao-Long, and Pyrrha Nikos, you four have retrieved the Knight piece. From now on you shall work together as Team AYSN (Allyson), led by Jaune Arc!" Ozpin announced.
"Uhh wait what?" Jaune stammered out confused.
"Congratulations Mr. Arc," Ozpin said smiling warmly.
"Err thank you, sir," Jaune said scratching the back of his head
'This will be an interesting year,' Ozpin thought to himself while looking at the crowd.
'This is gonna be a unique year,' Ruby thought to herself while looking at Ozpin.
-end-
So uhh, no big fight, mainly because I figured it's been overdone, I mean everyone writes a fight for initiation, and I do so as well, so I figured I would switch things up a bit and delve a bit more into a dynamic I want to set up between Ozpin and Ruby.
As always though, hope everyone is having a good day, and let me anything you want me to know in a review below
