Okay, so looking back, Chapter Two. Bit short. As such I plan for this chapter to be extra long, maybe you'll meet up with you team! Oh, the suspense!
RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth.
You belong to you.
I own nothing, sad I know.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We walk into Beacon and I gaze round at the mass of students waiting for instructions. I also notice a mass of yellow and a leather jacket.

Yang: Ruby! Over here! I saved you a spot!

Ruby: Hey I gotta go! I'll see you two after the ceremony!

Jaune: Hey, wait! Great. At least you're sti- Hey where'd he go? Where am I supposed to find more nice, quirky people to talk to?

I felt kinda bad using my semblance to ditch Jaune and follow Ruby. He's nice! Just... stupid?

Yang: How's your first day going, little sister?

Ruby: You mean since you ditched me and I exploded!?

Yang: Yikes. Meltdown already?

(Y/N): If only.

Yang, Ruby: Ahhhh! Ghost!

I suddenly reappear in front of them laughing my head off.

(Y/N): Calm down! My semblance is just invisibility! I should have recorded that...

Yang: Oh... I knew that. So Sis, you were talking about your tantrum, right?

Ruby: No, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school... There was a fire... and I think some ice.

(Y/N): There was some lightning!

Yang: Are you two being sarcastic?

Ruby: Ugh, I wish! I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage! And then she yelled at me! And then I sneezed. And then I exploded! And then she yelled again! And I felt really, really bad! And I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!

Weiss: You!

Ruby: Oh god, it's happening again!

Weiss: You're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!

Yang: Oh my God, you really exploded...

Ruby: It was an accident! It was an accident!

(Y/N): No one would blame you if it wasn't. I would congratulate you.

She growls at me before shoving a pamphlet, "Dust For Dummies And Other Inadequate Individuals?" That. Is. Hilarious!

Ruby: What's this?

Weiss: The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product. Although not mandatory, the Schnee Family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy-to-follow guide to Dust application and practice in the field.

(Y/N): Have you been trained to say that since birth?

Ruby: Uhhh...

Weiss: You two really want to start making things up to me?

Ruby: Absolutely!

(Y/N): Never!

Weiss: Read this and don't ever speak to me again. And you, Goodwitch, don't even look at me.

Yang: Look, it sounds like you three got off on the wrong foot! Why don't you just start over and try to be friends, okay?

Ruby: Yeah! Great idea, Sis!

(Y/N): I would, but I'm not allowed to look at her.

Ruby: I'll do it for you then! Hello, Weiss! I'm Ruby and they're (Y/N)! Want to hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!

Weiss: Yeah, and we can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys, like tall, blonde and scraggly over there!

Ruby: Oh wow, really?

Weiss: No.

(Y/N): Do you even have a heart?

Ozpin: Ahem...I'll keep this brief. You have travelled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this but your time at this school will only prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step.

Glynda: You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed!

Yang: He seemed kind of off, almost like he wasn't even there.

(Y/N): I do doubt his sanity sometimes. He's a bit of a mad genius.

Jaune slides over to Weiss with a cocky grin.

Jaune: I'm a natural blond, you know!

Darkness eventually descends on Beacon and people begin to doze off in the ballroom. Looking at all the students I see a few familiar faces, Ruby, Yang, the Girl in Black but also a few new ones. A girl with a Tiger tail is meditating in the corner with short, black hair wearing a purple Tai Chi robe that seems to be too big for her. Continuing to gaze around I also see a topless boy with dark blue hair flexing for some of the girls. Sighing I see Ruby writing something and a pillow hitting Yang's face. I decide to investigate.

Ruby: It's weird not knowing anyone here.

Yang: What about Jaune? He's... nice! And also-

(Y/N): Me?

Yang: Oh, hey (Y/N)! See, there you go! Plus two friends! That's a two-hundred percent increase!

Ruby: I'm pretty sure Weiss counts as a negative friend.

(Y/N): Don't say her name! She knows!

Yang: There's no such thing as negative friends! You just made two friends and one enemy! Who apparently knows when you say her name!

Another pillow comes into contact with Yang's face.

(Y/N): Smooth one, Yang.

Yang: Look, it's only been one day. Trust me, you've got friends all around you. You just haven't met them yet.

The sound of a match being lit attracts our attention as we look at the Girl in Black, who's reading a book beside a lit candelabra.

Ruby: That girl...

Yang: you know her?

Ruby: Not really. She saw what happened this morning, but left before I could say anything.

Yang: Well, now's your chance!

Ruby: Hey, wait! What are you doing?

(Y/N): This is 'gonna be good!

Yang: Helloooo! I believe you two may know each other!

???: Aren't you the girl that exploded?

Ruby: Uhh, yeah! My name's Ruby. But, you can just call me... Crater... Actually you can just call me Ruby.

???: Okay.

Yang: What are you doing!

Ruby: I don't know, help me.

(Y/N): It's so funny watching socially inept people. Like watching a monkey trying to use a piano.

Yang: Why are you even here! So.. what's your name?

???: Blake

Yang: Well, Blake, I'm Yang! Ruby's older sister!

(Y/N): And I'm (Y/N)! Ruby's only friend!

I instantly regret my decision as I get double elbowed by the siblings.

(Y/N): Owww...

Yang:... I like your bow!

Blake: Thanks.

Yang: It goes great with your... pyjamas!

Blake: Right.

Yang: Nice night, don't you think?

Blake: Yes. It's lovely. Almost as lovely as this book... that I will continue to read... as soon as you leave.

(Y/N): Oh, I like her.

Yang: Yeah, this girl's a lost cause.

Ruby: What's it about?

Blake: Huh?

Ruby: Your book. Does it have a name?

Blake: Well... It's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body.

Yang: Oh, yeah... that's real lovely...

Ruby: I love books. Yang used to read to me every night before bed. Stories of heroes and monsters... they're one of the reasons I want to be a Huntress.

Blake: Why is that? Hoping you'll live happily ever after?

Ruby: I'm hoping we all will. As a girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books. Someone who fought for what was right, and who protected people who couldn't protect themselves.

Blake: That's very ambitious for a child. Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tail.

I noticed her tragic expression, the expression of someone who's seen horrible things. I need to know what.

Ruby: Well that's why we're here... to make it better.

Yang: Ohhh, I'm so proud of my baby sister!

Ruby: Cut it out!

While they fight, my expression changes from happy and cheerful to serious.

(Y/N): So Blake, what is it you're hiding?

Her shocked expression tells me everything.

Blake: W-what?

(Y/N): You've been forced to grow up. To see the reality of life, I just want to know why.

Blake: I have n-nothing to hide...

(Y/N): Fine, be that way, when you want to stop hiding, come find me.

As Ruby and Yang continue to fight my expression returns to a jolly one.

Blake:  Well, Ruby, Yang... (Y/N). It's been a pleasure to-

Weiss: What in the world is going on here!? Don't you realize some of us are trying to sleep!?

Yang, Weiss: Oh, not you again!

(Y/N): This is what we get for saying her name earlier!

Ruby: Shhh! Guys, she's right! People are trying to sleep!

Weiss: Oh, now you're on my side.

Ruby: I was always on your side!

Yang: Yeah, what's your problem with my sister? She's only trying to be nice!

Weiss: She's a hazard to my health!

Blake sighs and blows out the candelabra, leaving us in darkness.

The Next Day

I slowly blink as I wake up, a peaceful morning, birds are singing, flowers are blooming, a chirpy ginger is harassing her boyfriend. Wait what. Glancing over again I confirm my suspicions, the chirpy one is somehow dashing around, super energized. Coffee incarnate I guess.

Time passes as I get ready for the initiation glancing over the many people I've met, putting on my (F/C) jacket over my black top and jeans. I reload and prepare Uncanny Honour for battle. I look over at Ruby and Yang, Ruby's angrily pointing at Yang, probably because she can't do stuff socially and Yang's trying to get her out of her shell. Jaune's trying to talk to Weiss, Weiss is trying to talk to... Pyrrha Nikos? Pyrrha is trying to talk to Jaune. I sense much drama in their future.

We all stand on the launch pads of Beacon Cliff, I once again notice the Tiger Faunus and the boy with dark blue hair.

Ozpin: For years you have trained to become warriors. And today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest.

Glynda: Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates... Today.

Ruby: What?

Ozpin: These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well.

Ruby: Awww...

Ozpin: That being said, The person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years.

Ruby: What?!?

(Y/N): Did anyone else hear something shatter?

???: See? I told you!

Ozpin: After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path, or you will die.

Jaune looks terrified, why? Surely he's faced Grimm before.

Ozpin: You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation. But our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one, and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?

Jaune: Yeah, um, sir-

Ozpin: Good! Now, take your positions.

Jaune: Uh, sir? I've got, um, a question.

Weiss is launched.

Jaune: So, this landing strategy thing, uh, w-what is it? You're, like, dropping us off or something?

Ozpin: No. You will be falling.

Jaune: Oh, I see. So, like, did you hand out parachutes for us?

The chirpy coffee girl launches, yelling "WooHoo!"

Ozpin: No. You will be using your own landing strategy.

Jaune: Uhhuh... Yeah.

Yang puts on a pair of aviators before zooming across the sky. Ruby follows with a smile.

(Y/N): Nice knowing you, Jaune.

Jaune: Uhhh, yeah. So, um, what exactly is a landing strateGYYYYY!

He gets thrown into the air.

(Y/N): So before you throw me into the forest. If I get named leader of my team, free dinner. Deal, Mother?

She adopts a small smirk.

Glynda: If you don't, free dinner for me.

(Y/N): You're on.

Click. The pad activates and I hurtle into the sky.

(Y/N): I believe I can fly! I believe... I'm about to eat dirt!

I yelled as the ground got closer and closer. I grabbed Uncanny Honour from my hip and turned it into its whip form as its wraps around a tree branch and I swing to the ground. Good, now I just need to find a partner, get a relic, win the bet, free dinner. I began to walk and walk, but then! I walked more... I finally came across a small opening, stretching, I gaze around, my eyes locking onto another set of glowing, red orbs. I grinned widely and aimed it at the beast's head and fire away. The beast fell to the ground, limp. Wow, nothing is challenging anymore.

(Y/N): Beowolves are too easy!

Bang! I slowly turn around to see another dead Beowulf lying on the ground, with a hole in it's head. I slowly move my head to look at my partner. She's wearing a Lilac Corset, stockings and a combat skirt. Upon closer inspection I see the front is covered in depictions of flowers, her long silky hair is also a lilac colour and is put in a pony tail that cascades down her shoulder.

(Y/N): Hello! Partner!

???: It's going to be a long four years.

(Y/N): The longest of your life! So what's your name!

???: It's Lilac, Lilac Meadow.

(Y/N): And I thought Ruby's name was on the nose.

Lilac: What? Who's Ruby?

(Y/N): Oh, nothing. Come on Sis!

Lilac: Eh?

(Y/N): I always wanted a sister, you're perfect for the role!

Lilac: I am not calling you anything of the sort.

(Y/N): Just you wait till I wear you down.

I begin to walk past her, however I notice she isn't following, I quickly glance at the bird that decorates her back.

(Y/N): You know we are partners, you have to follow me.

Lilac: You should follow me, I'm not going in the wrong direction.

(Y/N): And how do you know?

She smirks and disappears in a lilac cloud that reveals a medium-sized bird with a strong, slightly hooked beak and a stocky body, with a brightly-coloured plumage staring at me.

(Y/N): Did a bird kidnap my new sister?

Another lilac cloud appears, this time revealing Lilac.

Lilac: No, it's my semblance, I transform into a Lilac-Breasted Roller.

(Y/N): Lilac is an important part of your character, isn't it?

Lilac: Ugh, let's just go.

(Y/N): Aye, aye!

We begin to walk and I can't help but notice the revolver on the hip, with a large wing-like blade under the barrel.

(Y/N): So, nice murder machine you got there.

Lilac: You mean Pale Midnight.

She brings it out and twirls it on her finger before transforming it into a sickle and chain.

(Y/N): Damn, it's like mine, except more blades. Mine is a whip and an SMG, Uncanny Honour, as I call it.

Lilac: Great minds think alike.

(Y/N): Aww, thanks, I like this side of you. She's cute.

Lilac: And Uncanny Honour is a stupid name.

(Y/N): And she's gone.

We both hear a loud growl behind us, we both unholster our weapons to meet the gaze of 3 Ursai.

Lilac: You have a plan?

(Y/N): Kill them till they die.

Lilac: Why do I even bother?

We start to rapidly fire upon the Grimm, only to have our bullets bounce off their thick bone plating. All three charge, instinctively we flip over them and transform our weapons into their alternate forms, we swing them around, slashing and smacking the Grimm.

(Y/N): A better plan has been made.

Lilac: Pray tell.

(Y/N): Copy my movements

She obliges, as the end of my whip and her sickle tie together, creating a much larger rope, well, half rope-half chain. We run forward, tripping the Ursai, swiftly we turn our weapons back into their gun forms and fire upon their exposed sides, ending their lives. We hear another rustle behind us and aim our weapons at the bushes.

???: Don't shoot!

(Y/N): A talking Grimm?

A boy and a girl emerge from the shubbery, the boy with blue hair, who I now notice is wearing... denim... everywhere. And the Tiger Faunus in purple.

Lilac: Uhh, hello?

???: Hello, I'm Davis, could you put the guns down?

(Y/N): Do you have a denim fetish? Is your name Denim? Where you born from denim?

???: Hey! No, no and no!

(Y/N): Uh-huh, what's your name then?

???: Uh... Davis...

(Y/N): Davis what?

???: Davis... Denim...

(Y/N): Knew it! What about silent and fluffy over there?

Davis: I can't get her to talk, it's weird.

She sighs and traces a long scar along her neck.

Lilac: Because she's mute, yes?

She grins happily and nods.

Davis: Ohhhhhhh, right. Oops.

She holds up a piece of paper with "Orchid Jussieu"

Lilac: Your name? Well it's good to meet you Orchid. I'm Lilac and this is (Y/N).

(Y/N): Your tail... it's so... Cute! So, shall we get going?

She looks surprised but soon grins happily and nods. However before we can make any distance a loud roar erupts behind us and we all slowly turn around to see a... Beringel... We quickly draw our weapons, Davis, with scimitars that collapse into two crossbows and Orchid, a knife with a cylindrical handle.


(Y/N): Hang on!

Lilac and Davis: What!?! Why!?!

(Y/N): Let's not resort to violence, I'm going to try this peacefully. Hello there I'm (Y/N), what's your na-

The Beringel gives off a devastating roar, interrupting my pacifist attempts.

(Y/N): How rude, let's kill it.

We charge but the beast swiftly smacks us away in one movement.

(Y/N): Even ruder, let's run.

They all nod as Lilac leads us to the ruins. We burst through and see Yang and Blake already there.

(Y/N): Hey guys!

Yang: Oh, hey (Y/N)! Who are these people?

(Y/N): Lilac, my partner and new sister.

Lilac: Ugh.

(Y/N): And this is Davis, denim lover, and Orchid, mute Faunus.

Suddenly we hear a loud, girlish scream.

Yang: Some girl's in trouble! Did you guys hear that? What do we do?

I sigh and look to the sigh, only to see a falling blur of red. Ruby.

Ruby: Heads up!

I blink and look again to see Jaune on a collision course with her. Save Jaune or Ruby? Easy, Ruby.

(Y/N): Lilac, boost me.

She nods and chucks me into the sky, I grab Ruby in my arms and kick Jaune away.

(Y/N): Sorry!

We land safely and Ruby opens her eyes, I give her a small, reassuring smile. She smile back but only then seems to notice I'm carrying her bridal style and becomes a colour true to her name. I chuckle and set her down.

Ruby: T-thanks (Y/N).

(Y/N): Anytime.

Blake: Did your sister just fall from the sky?

Yang: I-

But before she can finish we hear growling and turn to look at its source.

???: Yeehaw! Aww. It's broken. Eeeew...

???: Nora? Please... don't ever do that again.

She dashes over to the chess pieces and grabs a rook piece.

Nora: Ooooo... I'm Queen of the castle, I'm Queen of the castle.

???: NORA!!

Nora: Hehehe, coming Ren!

Blake: Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?

Yang: I-

She is interrupted yet again as Pyrrha Nikos appears, with a Deathstalker chasing her.

Pyrrha: Jaune!

Jaune: Pyrrha!

Blake: Did she just run all the way here with a Deathstalker on her tail?

Yang: I-

Suddenly the Beringel that we escaped bursts through the trees, with a vengeance.

(Y/N), Lilac and Davis: No, it's back!

Blake: Is that really a Beringel, aren't they really rare?

Yang: Grrrrr! I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again?

Ruby: Um... Yang?

She points to Weiss, who is precariously hanging off a Nevermore.

Weiss: How could you leave me?!

Ruby: I said "jump"...

Blake: She's 'gonna fall.

Ruby: She'll be fine.

Ren: She's falling.

(Y/N): She deserves it.

Jaune, however, disagrees and catches Weiss mid-air.

Jaune: Just dropping in? Oh God... Noooo!

Jaune lands face-first in the dirt with Weiss landing harshly on his back.

Weiss: My hero.

Jaune: My back...

Yang: Great! The gang's all here! Now we can die together!

Ruby: Not if I can help it!

(Y/N): The hero complex is strong with this one.

She charges the Deathstalker, scythe at the ready.

Yang: Ruby! Wait!

She charges the Deathstalker, only to get pushed backed by its pincer.

Ruby: D-Do-Don't worry! Totally fine!

She fires off a shot that doesn't even damage the beast's bone armour.

Yang: RUBY!

Her cape is pinned by one of the Nevermore's huge feather.

Yang: Ruby, get out of there!

Ruby: I'm trying!

The Deathstalkers tail comes crashing down, ready to kill the small girl.

Yang: RUBY!

Luckily me and Weiss jump in, me using my whip to grab and pull her into my arms. And Weiss creating a wall of ice, trapping the tail.

Weiss: You are so childish.

She slowly opens her eyes, and pushes herself slightly more into my body.

Ruby: Weiss, (Y-Y/N).

Weiss: And dim-witted, and hyperactive. And don't even get me started on your fighting style. And I suppose, I can be a bit... Difficult.

A bit?

Weiss: But if we're going to do this we're going to have to do this together. So if you quit trying to show off, I'll be... nicer.

She comes out of my arms with a slight blush, heh, so cut-shut up, shut up, shut up.

Ruby: I'm not trying to show off. I want you to know I can do this.

Weiss: You're fine.

Ruby: Normal knees...

(Y/N): For a normal girl.

She smiles up at me, and then hugs me, tightly.

Ruby: Thanks for saving me, twice.

(Y/N): Always.

We release as Yang comes to take my place.

Yang: So happy you're okay!

Jaune: Guys, that thing's circling back. What are we 'gonna do?

Weiss: Look, there's no sense in dilly-dallying. Our objective is right in front of us.

Ruby: She's right. Our mission is to grab an artefact and make it back to the cliffs. There's no point in fighting these things.

Jaune: Run and live. That is an idea I can get behind.

Ruby grabs a white knight piece while Jaune grabs the remaining white rook. Me and Orchid get the white queen piece. The Deathstalker begins to break loose.

Ren: Time we left.

Ruby: Right. Let's go!

Yang, however, stands there, smiling at her sister.

Blake: What is it?

Yang: Nothing...

We continue to run into a dilapidated area that has probably seen many initiations. The Beringel, Nevermore and the Deathstalker follow us.

Yang: Well, that's great!

Jaune: Oh, man, run!

Ren: Nora, distract it!

After much skirmishing we eventually manage to split into one group of four per Grimm.

Me, Orchid, Lilac and Davis stand against the Beringel on a broken bridge.

(Y/N): Me and Lilac will restrain it while you two cut its arms off!

I wrap my whip around its left arm while Lilac wraps her chain around the other, we both pull, restraining the beast. It roars and struggles but we stand firm. Davis draws his scimitars and runs to the exposed joint and in one clean swipe with both blades, severs the arm, causing a wail of pain. Orchid approaches the joint and jams her small knife cleanly into the arm and presses the button on the hilt, causing a massive explosion to erupt from the blade, detaching the arm from the torso. It yells out but refuses to die, it begins to use its head to ram us but we smoothly avoid.

(Y/N): New plan, grab on!

I wrap my whip around its neck and everyone grabs onto me as I jump off the side, the weight of all four of us is barely enough to drag it off and into the pit while Lilac attaches her sickle and chain to the side of the bridge, slowly we climb up and onto the bridge itself, safe.

I check on the status of the other two teams, seeing that Jaune's has defeated the Deathstalker and Ruby is dragging the Nevermore up the cliff, decapitating it.

(Y/N): I'll never call it a farming tool again.
