Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters belonging to Dragon Ball Super, RWBY, Black Clover, or The Tales of series. I only own the oc's and have permission from a fellow writer to use the characters of Tarro and Daikon for these stories.

Opening:

Opening theme: Alive by REona (Arknights: Prelude to Dawn anime)

Visuals: : Replace the Arknights characters with the cast of this story and replace the reunion with Grimm and Atlas soldiers. The opening depicts the divide between the elves and the humans, while Huntsman and Huntresses fight off the Grimm. The chorus shows Odyn and the other elves struggle against the humans, the same with the faunus and Saiyan characters. The song ends as it zooms to a shot of Odyn and Weiss look off into the distance before the dark elf turns to look at Weiss. Weiss, noticing his gaze just smiles as the title card for the story comes up after the screen goes black.

Chapter 6: The Emerald Forrest

The screen comes up as we see a view of Ozpin, Glynda Goodwitch, Sybrh, and Tarro overlooking the forrest. Glynda is seen to be walking up behind Ozpin as he watches the students on his scroll with her own tablet.

"It would appear as though the last pair has been formed, Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. I feel for the boy, I can't imagine the two of them getting along very well. Still... I suppose it's better than who's partnered up with Miss Nikos..," Glynda said.

The camera switches to a view on Ozpin's scroll of Jaune and Pyrrha trekking through the woods on their way towards the middle of the forrest.

"Hmm...," Ozpin responds in thought.

Glynda spoke again, voicing her opinion and displeasure of the situation for the former mistral regional champion.

"I don't care what his transcripts say, that Jaune fellow is clearly not ready for this level of combat.," Glynda said voicing her displeasure.

Sybrh turned and spoke up.

"Not to doubt you, miss Goodwitch.. but don't be so sure about that. The boy could have some hidden talent within him yet. With the right type of training, he could be a formiddable fighter.," Sybrh replied.

Tarro raised an eyebrow at this.

"Not to question you, Sybrh, but you're certain of that?," Tarro asked.

Sybrh nodded.

"Positive. I've seen humans even weaker than that boy is turn out to become stronger than they ever thought possible with the correct guidance.," The dark elf said.

"I see..," Tarro said reply.

Glynda then spoke again.

"We'll find out soon enough, I suppose. (she turned back to Ozpin) Speaking of which... What did you use as relics for the test this year?," Glynda asked curious.

There was a moment of silence.

"Professor Ozpin?," Glynda asked.

Ozpin doesn't answer, watching his tablet with a contemplating interest as it shows the footage of Ruby sitting in the grass and absent mindedly picking grass and leaves while her "partner" starts walking towards the young girl.

With Ruby and Weiss...

Weiss is seen to be awkwardly approaching the younger girl as she tries to get her teammate to look at her. She sighs as she speaks.

"Ruby?," Weiss asks awkwardly.

Ruby, sniffling and drying her tears doesn't turn around and simply looks the other way.

"What do you want?," Ruby said with her face buried in her knees.

Weiss cringed slightly. This was already not a good start to the conversation.

"L-look i'm sorry. Those things I said were... (sighs in defeat) insensitive and out of line. I shouldn't have said them and I was wrong. Think we could um.. work together? I'd be willing to if you'll forgive me?," Weiss said in apology.

Ruby turned her head and looked at the heiress in slight surprise.

"I thought rich people like you were too proud of themselves to admit when they're wrong?," Ruby asked out of curiosity.

Weiss sighed and chuckled slightly.

"N-Normally, yes. You're not wrong about that. But.. I have a certain friend who would often remind me to see things from others perspectives.," Weiss admitted.

Ruby looked at her hand curiously before deciding to accept the apology.

"This friend of yours.. They must mean alot to you if they have that much of an influence on you.," Ruby replied.

Weiss slightly blushed and turned away so her partner wouldn't see it.

"Y-You're not wrong about that...," Weiss admitted slightly embarrassed.

Ruby shook the heriess' hand.

"I forgive you. And.. I'm sorry too. I was uh.. kind of a dummy back there for saying those mean things to you.," Ruby replied.

Weiss offered a small smile towards the girl.

"Apology accepted. I think that makes us even now, right?," Weiss replied.

Ruby nodded in response. Weiss then continued.

"With that taken care of... Where exactly are we?," Weiss asked towards no one in particular.

Ruby shrugged.

"Kinda thought you knew where we were at...," Ruby replied.

Weiss laughs nervously.

"S-sure I- I know we're going to the forrest temple! Let's just... figure out where that is... in relation to wherever here is.. exactly.," Weiss said.

Ruby sighed.

"This ... is going to take a while, isn't it?," Ruby thought out loud.

With Yang and Blake....

Yang and Blake are seen to be stepping out into a clearing that reveals the circular stone temple, broken and decrepit but for the platforms around its inside, holding several black and gold objects. The Blonde haired brawler then speaks up.

"Think this is the place?," Yang asks her partner.

Instead of a response, Blake is seen to be giving Yang an Incredulous look as she descends the hill, Yang following behind her. They walk across the forrest floor, observing the items upon each of the pedastals, now revealed to be familiar shapes. Blake comes across a Black King Chess piece.

"Chess... Pieces?," Blake asks confused.

Yang notices that some of them are missing as she speaks.

"Probably should grab some. Looks like.. we weren't the first ones here, huh?," Yang replied.

"Yeah. Let's go ahead and grab some.," Blake said in agreement.

The pair walk over to grab some of the relics as the scene transitions once again.

With Jaune and Pyrrha...

Jaune and Pyrrha are standing at the mouth of a dark cave, where drawings are seen to the side involving armed men against giant beasts. The Blonde haired teen looks towards his partner curiously.

"Think this is it, Pyrrha?", Jaune asked.

The ginger haired gladiator looks around with a worried expression on her face. Jaune is seen to be holding up a single, burning torch as they make their way through the dark cave.

"I'm not so sure this is it Jaune... Maybe we should turn back.," She replied.

Jaune thought about her response for a moment, Pyrrha wouldn't say something like that for no reason. Upon further thought, Jaune determined that Pyrrha was right and that they should turn back. However, before they could turn back to head out of the cave, Jaune trips on the ground, and the torch flies into a small puddle, extinguishing the flame so the two are cast in darkness with only their eyes visible.

"Do you feel that, Jaune?," Pyrrha asked with both of them encased in darkness.

"Soul crushing regret?" Jaune asked.

Pyrrha shook her head.

"No, it... feels warm in here.," Pyrrha said concerned.

Back with Yang and Blake...

Yang is seen to be approaching one of the relics as she chats with her partner. Coming up to a golden knight piece, she studies it before picking it up and showing it to Blake.

"Hmm... how about a cute little pony?" Yang asks showing Blake the chess piece.

Blake just smirks.

"Sure.," Blake replied as they walk across the forrest floor.

"That wasn't too hard, was it?," Yang said.

Blake smirked in response.

"Well, it's not like this place is that hard to find.," Blake said.

They both share a smile.

"Should we continue on?", Blake asked.

Yang shrugged.

"I guess. But, i'd feel kinda weird if my little sis and whoever her partner is aren't with us.," Yang answered.

Blake pondered Yang's response for a moment before speaking up again.

"That's.. understandable I guess. What should we do in the meantime?," Blake replied.

Yang thought for a moment before speaking.

"Since we're here already.. I guess we could find a clearing somewhere around here and wait for them.,"Yang suggested.

"Beats sitting here doing nothing I guess...," Blake replied with a shrug.

The two then walked a bit away from the forrest temple and spotted some rather... familiar faces all just huddled or sitting down either leaning against a tree or lying down on the grass. Yang immediately spotted Odyn and Roy, who were leaning against a tree looking out into the distance with their chess piece. Next to them were a dark skinned girl, that they'd never seen before and a teen in bony looking armor with blue skin and red eyes. The girl, they could tell had the same eye color as the group of teens who were with Ruby during her first day at Beacon. The other teen, they'd never seen before. Just a little bit from them was group of 5 teens... which was odd , sitting in a circle chatting amongst themselves. The first girl, they recognized as Sarai, one of the teens they or rather Yang had gotten to know a little bit through some short conversation. The final group was of Khanna, who Yang recognized, and then another faunus girl and two faunus boys (Giblet and Shallot lol). They all looked like they were.. waiting for something.. or someone. But who and what were they waiting for? Whatever the case was, Yang was sure they'd find out eventually.

Back with Jaune and Pyrrha....

Jaune and Pyrrha continue onward through the cave until they see a large glowing point of gold right in front of them, illuminating Jaune's excited features.

"Pyrrha, look! I think that's the relic up there! I'm going to go grab it.," Jaune said dashing up to the light.

Pyrrha tried to say something to deter him from doing so, but it was too late by that point.

"Jaune, wait! I don't think that's the-..," Pyrrha said in warning before she was cut short by Jaune's enthusiastic reply.

"Relax Pyrrha, it's fine. It'll just take me a sec to grab this thing!," Jaune said reaching out towards the gold point of light.

Jaune slowly reaches out to grab it, but it moves away from his swipe.

"Hey! Bad... relic!", Jaune said as he tries to get it again, then jumps forward and hangs onto it as the object raises him above the ground. "Gotcha!"

Pyrrha is seen to be having a very worried look on her face as it's clear she sees something the blonde knight does not.

"Jaune...?" Pyrrha says worried.

Jaune gulps as he suddenly has a very bad feeling about what Pyrrha apparently sees.

Jaune's catch lowers itself so he is dangling right in front of the now-glowing red lines and eyes of a Death Stalker.

"Ah crud...," Jaune thinks to himself.

Back at the Forest Temple....

Jaune's scream is heard all the way from the temple, where Yang turns towards the direction of its source.

"What was that?," Yang wondered.

She then heard it again, this time louder.

"Some girl's in trouble! Blake, did you hear that just now?," Yang said.

Instead of answering, Blake is seen to be staring at something in the sky. She points towards it as something seen to be descending from the sky.

Back with Jaune and Pyrrha...

At the cave entrance, Pyrrha rushes out right before the monster crashes through the hole, roaring and waving its grass-encrusted claws as Jaune hangs from the stinger, calling from help and continuing to scream.

"Help! Whoa-ah-ah-ah-ah! Why?! Pyrrha! He-e-e-elp! Pyrrha, this is not the relic! It's not!", Jaune sobs as he is shaken around, hanging on for dear life. "Do something, please!"

Pyrrha is seen to be weilding her Dust weapons in front of the Death Stalker as she speaks.

"Jaune! Whatever you do, don't let-," she starts but is cut short as the Grimm hurls its tail back and launches a still-screaming Jaune across the forest as she watches in dismay. "go.."

She then turns back to face the scorpion grimm as it continues to snap its claws at her, and she smiles embarrassed before turning and rushing away in a burst of green leaves.

Back with Blake and Yang....

Yang is trying to get her partner's attention as she's focused on the Forrest, but Blake is still focused on the sky. Almost as if she was expecting something to come towards them from above, the cat faunus contttinued to stare up into the sky.

"Blake, did you hear that? uh.. what should we do?," Yang asked her partner slightly panicked.

Blake doesn't answer, but continues to look up into the sky.

"Blake?", Yang asks.

Finally, the faint but ever louder growing screams of a certain silver eyed girl are heard as it is revealed to be Ruby screaming at the top of her lungs. She's seen to be rapidly approaching the ground as she falls from the sky.

"Heads uuuuuuuup! I can't stooooppppp!!!!!,"Ruby said screaming as she plummets towards the ground as the screen turns to black.

With Weiss & Ruby (Flash back)....

5 minutes earlier...

Weiss and Ruby are seen to be hanging on for dear life to something large, black, very feathery, and very fast as evidenced by the whipping winds and the pair being blown sideways.

"Ruby! I told you this was a bad idea!", Weiss shouted over the loud and whipping winds around them.

"Ah, we're fine! Stop worrying about it so much, Weiss!," Ruby shouted also raising her voice over the wind.

This girl was too much. Nevertheless, she would try to get along with her for Odyn's sake.. However, her patience was beginning to run thin with Ruby due to some of the things she would do. Ruby was in several facets, the exact opposite of Weiss.

"I am so far beyond worrying!," Weiss replied in a raised voice.

"In a good way?," Ruby asked curiously.

"No, Ruby! In a bad way, in a very bad way!," Weiss replied a little frustrated.

Ruby then came up with what she thought was a rather simple solution to the problem.

"Well, we could just jump." Ruby suggested.

"What?! Just jump? Are you insane?!," Weiss shrieked.

Instead of receiving an answer, Weiss is met with silence as Ruby had already jumped.

"Ruby? Ruby? (looks around, only to find Ruby has disappeared) Oh, that insufferable little red-!," Weiss trails off mid insult as she is left on her own atop the giant bird in the sky.

End Flashback

Back on the ground...

Down on the ground, Blake is still looking skyward and pointing for Yang to also look up due to who is coming towards them. Ruby's scream eventually gets Yang's attention.

"Heads uuuuuuuup! I can't stooooppppp!!!!!," Ruby screamed.

Just before she can hit the ground, Roy is seen to be rushing towards the girl as he leaps up into the air to catch the falling girl, bridal style.

"Gotcha!", Roy said as the two are seen to be slowly coming to the ground.

Ruby's eyes widened upon seeing the dark elf catch her as a faint hint of a blush is seen on her face.

"R-Roy?!,"Ruby asked surprised.

"Don't worry, Ruby, I got you.," Roy said.

Ruby slightly blushed and looked down for a moment.

"u-um T-thank you, Roy..,"Ruby said slightly stammering in embarrassment.

Their little moment is interrupted as Jaune then comes flying through the air and crashing into them, sending them into a tree to the left of where Blake and Yang stood. Ruby is slightly dazed by the rough landing as evidenced by the cutesy beowolves and stars circling her head as her eyes swirl for a moment. She then shakes her head and is quick to check on Roy, who received the brunt of the impact due to him shielding her.

"Ohhhhh..... what was that? Ah! Roy, are you okay?!," Ruby said dizzy before shaking her head and worriedly checking on the dark elf who shielded her from harm.

Roy chuckled and patted Ruby on the head.

"No need to worry, Ruby. I'm alright, I've been hit much harder than that before.," Roy replied.

"Well.. I guess as long as you're okay then... B-but uh... ," Ruby said trailing off noticing the position she was still in.

Roy raised an eyebrow not noticing that he was still holding Ruby, bridal style in his arms.

"Something wrong, Ruby?," Roy asked.

"N-nothing wrong, p-per se.. B-but um... y-you think you could uh... p-put me down now, Roy?," Ruby said with a very noticeable blush on her face.

Roy looked down and blushed as well before quickly, but gently, setting the girl back down onto her feet.

"I am so sorry! Gods, this's embarrassing... I didn't mean to embarrass you like that, Ruby..,"Roy said stumbling over his words.

Ruby was seen to be fidgeting with her fingers in embarrassment as she responded to him.

"N-no you're fine, Roy! You didn't know. A-and I appreciate you protecting me just then.," Ruby admitted with a blush.

The two then heard another voice next to them.

"Eh- hem!"

The two looks to see jaune, hanging upside down in the tree next to them.

"Hey Ruby..., Roy..," He said.

"Oh, Jaune! Sorry about that!, " Ruby apologized.

"We would've helped you sooner had you said something earlier.," Roy added.

Jaune shook his head.

"Nah, it's cool. I get that you wanted to make sure Ruby was okay, since she's a girl. She comes first. That said... think you could help me get down?," Jaune replied.

Roy chuckled.

"Sure thing, Jaune.," Roy responded.

Roy, Ruby, Odyn, and the dark elven girl who was with them then helped to pry Jaune loose from the tree he was stuck in.

Blake then looks towards the Blonde haired brawler again quizzically.

"Did.... your sister just "fall" from the sky?," Blake asked confused.

Yang tried answering, but.. another thing prevented her from doing so.

"I..," Yang started before being interrupted again.

This time several crashing noises ensue in the forrest ahead of the teens as an Ursa is seen to be thrashing and clawing before a momentary pink blast of energy hits it in the back, as it deposits its rider. The creature crashed to the ground, unmoving, clearly dead.

"YEEEE-HAAAAW!"

The orange haired girl then rolls off the creatures back as she groans, saddened at the loss of her ride.

"Aww maaannnn, it's broken!," The girl says as she dashed all over its body checking to see if it was still alive.

A gloved hand then reaches up, tired as the teen known as Lie Ren appears to be tired and gasping for breath.

"Nora! Please... don't ever do something like that again. Nora?," Ren said before checking to see where his partner was.

The teen looks up and notices by the blinking pink dotted outline of where she was a moment ago that his partner is no longer there. Apparently, she'd run off... again. This guy just couldn't ever get a break, could he? He looks around frantically trying to find his hyperactive partner. Nora was seen to be already in the ruins of the temple, observing a golden rook chess piece.

The girl suddenly grabs as an animation of stars and her hammer symbol playing in the pink background as she dances and sings with the chess piece.

"Oooohhhh! I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!," The girl is seen dancing and singing with the chess piece bouncing up and down on her head.

Ren is then heard off screen.

"Nora!," the other teen yells.

The girl, now identified as Nora, stops as the chess piece drops from her head and right into her hands.

"Coming, Ren!," Nora calls out in response as she skips off towards Ren.

The cat eared faunus girl was even more confused now. What were all these random things that kept occurring?

"Did... that girl just ride in ON TOP of an Ursa?," Blake asked even further perplexed.

Yang begins to answer, only to be interrupted yet again.

"I..", Yang begins to say but can't finish her thought.

She's interrupted this time by a very loud screech to her right, and Pyrrha Nikos comes onto the scene as the scorpion creature uproots entire trees in its chase after her. Pyrrha narrowly dodges its giant claws and keeps on running. Jaune calls out in concern.

"Jaune!," Pyrrha calls out in panic.

"Pyrrha!," Jaune answers back also concerned.

Ruby looks at the monster coming towards them as she thought they'd be hit by it. Except... they weren't. Roy had blocked the creature with some kind of invisible barrier to prevent the Grimm from landing on them. She looked towards the cerulean and crimson haired teen with a smile.

"T-thanks for that R-Roy...," Ruby said a little nervously.

Roy smiled back at the girl and nodded towards her. He took down the barrier to let Ruby have a shot at the Grimm. The girl then rolls away from the monster, whilee trying to make her way towards her sister.

"Ruby!," Jaune whines, expecting the girl to help his partner.

Ruby is seen making her way towards the others with some difficulty, due to the Grimm coming towards her. Yang sees this and grows concerned for her younger sister.

"Ruby!," Yang cries out in concern.

The silver eyed girl raises her arms in excitement as if she's going to hug her sister. After all, she hadn't seen her since this initiation test began. However, Nora pops in between the sisters, knocking them off balance in surprise.

"Yang!," Ruby cries in excitement.

"Nora!," The orange haired girl says popping in between them.

Meanwhile, the scorpion Grimm continues its chase after Pyrrha. Yang balls her hands into fists and is seen getting more and more frustrated by all the random things that keep happening around her. Blake then looks her partner and potential teammate.

"Umm.. did she just run all the way here with a DeathStalker on her tail?," Blake asked confused.

That was the last straw, Yang couldn't take it anymore as she growls in annoyance before erupting in a small burst of fire, eyes flaring red.

"Grrr..... I can't take it anymore! Can everyone just chill out for like... 2 seconds before something else crazy happens?!," Yang said angered.

The Elves hold their ground, as the tick-tock of a clock counts down the two seconds of Yang cooling down, Ren running over to a ditzy Nora, and Blake and Ruby looking up. Ruby then tugs on her sister's shirt, directing her focus to the sky.

"Umm... Yang?," Ruby points up after tugging on her sister's shirt.

Yang sighs before looking to her sister and following everyone's line of sight.

"What is it, Rubes?,"Yang asks before looking up. "Oh..."

Up above, Weiss is revealed to be hanging on a talon the size of her entire body that belongs to a gigantic Nevermore. Odyn sees this and has a rather puzzled look on his face. Thankfully, it was too far away for Weiss to see because he knew how she'd more or less react to the look he currently had on his face. Right now, he had to think of a way to get his Fiance' down from where she was at and... he had to do it fast. Especially before a certain blonde haired knight got any 'bright ideas' about trying to save her. Not that he had any doubts in Jaune, the dark teen elf just didn't want the blonde haired knight to do anything... stupid that could potentially hurt himself. Plus... saving Weiss was kind of Odyn's job, given that Weiss was his future wife (his betrothed). He'd rather not share that priviledge with any other male. Unfortunately, seeing Jaune's body language, Odyn knew what the teen was going to attempt to do.

"Dear Lord Udiyah, I hope I'm wrong about the idea Jaune has in his head right now...," Odyn thought to himself sweatdropping.

Back to Weiss though, she was seen calling down to Ruby from up in the sky, hanging on for dear life to the Nevermore's talon.

"Ruby, how could you leave me?!," Weiss called down to her partner.

Ruby was seen cupping her hands to her mouth to respond to the Schnee heiress.

"Well, I did say "jump" didn't I?," Ruby responded.

Blake spoke up.

"she's going to fall like that.", The faunus girl said.

Ruby scoffed.

"Pssh, nah! she'll be fine.," Ruby said not worried.

Ren then spoke and pointed.

"Um, she's falling.," Ren said.

Sure enough, Weiss was falling and pretty rapidly from the looks of it.

Jaune looks up at the falling Schnee girl and grins, thinking this was his moment to shine and maybe impress the girl he'd set his sights on. Odyn saw the grin on the blonde knight's face and sweatdropped. He knew where this was going.

"Oh dear... Guess I'd better get over there and fast!," Odyn thought as he quickly moved to get to where the two would intersect.

The blonde haired knight then quickly climbs the tree again and dashes towards the spot where Weiss was falling towards. This gave him the opportunity to leap of a branch of the tree withhis arms outstretched towards the girl. He does manage to catch her in a slowed down moment, making the girl widen her eyes.

"Heh heh, just... dropping in?," Jaune says as he smiles at Weiss.

Weiss is speechless at this and the blonde knight realizes why.. when he looks down.

Down on the ground, Zero is seen with his hand on his face in embarrassment.

"What an idiot...," the arcosian said aloud.

"Oh God...!," Jaune says as he realizes that he may have jumped too high.

They hang on to each other wide-eyed as their moment of suspension ends, their weapons flying behind them.

"Oh noooooooo - Oooommphhh!!"

Thankfully, Odyn was in the right spot at the perfect time to catch Weiss before both her and Jaune hit the ground. The blue haired teen was seen carrying Weiss bridal style in mid air. Unfortunately, Jaune did a faceplant into the ground with all four of his limbs splayed outwards.

"My hero...," Weiss says with a dry look towards the blonde knight.

She then looks towards her savior as he hovers down to the ground slowly. He sighs in relief, knowing that he was just in time.

"Whew... that was a little too close. Are you alright, Princess?," Odyn asked looking at Weiss.

Weiss felt her face heat up as a blush was seen on her cheeks.

"I-I'm fine! A-Ahem! T-Thanks for that, Odyn..," She said embarrassed and looking away from him.

Odyn silently chuckled as he then set down the heiress upon reaching the ground.

"My pleasure Weiss.," Odyn said.

Jaune was heard groaning in pain before being helped to his feet.

"Ow... my back...," Jaune said in slight pain.

Sarai then spoke to him.

"My brother was going to warn you against doing that you know..," The lavender and crimson haired dark ellf said.

Jaune smiled weakly towards her.

"N-Noted, ow..," He said still groaning.

The Scorpion Grimm was still chasing after Pyrrha, but she manages to dodge several blows and land on her side at the feet of the teens.

Yang then spoke up, sarcastically commenting on their situation.

"Greeeeaaaattt... The Gang's all here! Now we can die together!," Yang complained.

Ruby gains a determined look and shouts defiantly before charging the scorpion Grimm.

"Not if I have anything to say about it!," Ruby said taking her dust weapon and charging off towards the Grimm.

Roy reached his hand out to stop Ruby and then sighed in frustration.

"Ruby, Wai-! Ugh, aaaannnddd.. she's gone.," Roy said in slight frustation.

Looking towards his brother, Odyn was seen to be nodding towards him.

"Go on, we'll still be here when you need us.," Odyn told him with a slight chuckle.

The mulicolor haired teen smiled and nodded back at his older sibling.

"Thanks, bro." Roy said before dashing off towards Ruby.

Odyn then looked towards Weiss, who nodded towards him as well before following Roy. No words needed to be said as a mutual undertanding had passed between the two. No doubt, a result of how long Odyn and Weiss had known each other. Hailfire then looked towards Odyn.

"Are you certain that it was wise not to say anything, milord?," Hailfire asked.

Odyn nodded and smiled.

"I trust Weiss knows what she's doing.," Odyn replied.

Hailfire looked to Odyn again briefly before returning her gaze to the horizon where the trio of Ruby, Weiss, and Roy would soon converge. As far as she was concerned, Odyn's word was good enough for her. That was one of her future rulers after all.

Back with Ruby...

Ruby is seen to still be screaming with a battle cry as she fires Crescent Rose towards the Death Stalker. When the two meet however, the girl is swiped aside and is knocked back. The black and crimson haired girl is slow to get up, but she manages to shakily stand back up to her feet.

"D-Don't worry, I'm t-totally f-fine!," Ruby said subtly wincing at the physical pain she was in at the moment.

The girl turns back towards the monster, shooting it in the skull, before sheathing her scythe and running away from it. The Death Stalker Grimm now is seen chasing after her as her dust bullets seem to have made the creature angry. Now worried, Yang is seen to be running towards her sister with her hand stretched towards her.

"Ruby!", Yang cried worried. "Get out of there!"

Ruby is seen to be running towards her sister as fast as she can, But.. The Giant Nevermore is heard cawing above them. It flaps its wings as it then releases lines of sharpened feathers towards the girl, which she dodges for the most part. A few of the feathers are seen to catch onto Ruby's cape, pinning her in place as she can't escape and it prevents Yang from being able to reach her sister.

"I-I'm.. t-trying!," Ruby replied as she is seen to be struggling to pull herself free of the Feathers that have trapped her in place.

The Scorpion Grimm approached the girl, raising its golden tipped stinger above a scared Ruby and plunging it down towards the defenseless teen girl. White and blue blurs are seen to be racing past Yang, just as the Grimm's stinger is about to pierce Ruby. The sound of Ice and then a metallic clanging noise are heard just as the screen momentarily goes black. The screen comes back up as Ruby opens her eyes to a certian voice in her ear being heard.

"You are far too childish!"

The voice is revealed to be Weiss. Ruby is seen to be opening her eyes to the sight of the stinger being encased in ice ,while Roy holding it back with a small amount of lightning within the ice. She removes her arms from their futile position as she takes a look at both of her saviors.

"Weiss..? and.. Roy?,"Ruby says a little surprised.

Weiss is seen to be removing her rapier, Myrtenaster, from the Ice as both her and Roy walk over to her. The Schnee heiress is seen to b still berating the girl before sighing and calming down as she was really just worried for the safety of Ruby.

"And dim- witted, and hyperactive, And! (sighs briefly) don't even get me started on that fighting style of yours... It makes you.. far too reckless! But.. If we're going to do this... (reaches her hand out towards the girl) both of us, we'll need to do this together. So.. if you quit trying to show off, I'll be...nicer to you.," Weiss said.

Ruby is then seen looking at Weiss as she responds to her.

"I'm not trying to show off, I just wanted to show you that I can do this.," Ruby replied.

Weiss sighs, smiles, and shrugs.

"You're.. fine as you are, Ruby.," Weiss said as she walks away.

Roy then walks over to her and hugs her, suprising the girl and making her blush slightly.

"R-Roy?," Ruby asked nervously.

Roy sighed.

"You know Ruby, you really are too reckless for your own good...," Roy said chuckling. "You nearly sent the rest of us into hysterics."

The dark elf released the hug before flicking Ruby in the forehead.

"Ow! R.. Roy, what was that for?," Ruby grabbed her forehead with her hands a little hurt her friend would do that.

Roy looked her in the eyes, still smiling before he spoke again.

"THAT was for being reckless. But... I know that you won't just go charging in without some sort of thought out plan, right?," Roy replied looking at her.

Roy then felt herself smile at the teen with cerulean and crimson tipped hair.

"Yeah... I won't do that again, Roy.," Ruby said.

Roy smirked at her.

"Good. Glad we can agree on that Ruby.," Roy replied.

Ruby sighs, closes her eyes, and clasps her hands in grattitude.

"Right.. Normal knees.," She silently says to herself.

Roy then turns to her and smiles.

"I think someoneelse wanted to know that you were alright too, so i'll defer to them.," Roy said.

"So happy you're okay!" Yang said rushing up to her sister.

Yang is seen rushing up and hugging Ruby, which the girl grunts upon receiving. She squeezes her tight, making the girl go slightly blue in the face.

"Ughk.. Yang please... need.. air!," Ruby said from inside the embrace.

Yang realizes what she was doing and lets up so her sister can breathe again.

"huh? Oh, sorry!" Yang apologizes and lets go.

The teens then look up above them, seeing the Nevermore flying overhead and roaring at them.

"Um.. guys?That Thing's circling back around, what do we do now?," Jaune was seen to be asking the group.

Weiss is then heard to be speaking to the group, catching their attention.

"I don't see the purpose in dilly- dallying any further. We already have what we need here, in front of us.," Weiss said.

Ruby nodded and echoed the sentiment.

"She's right everyone! Our objective was to grab an artifact and make it back to the cliffs. (briefly nods at Weiss who returns the gesture) There's no point in fighting these things here." Ruby said.

Jaune spoke up.

"Run and live, now that's an idea worth getting behind." Jaune said.

Roy nodded in agreement, adding his own thoughts to what was already said.

"What do you guys say to grabbing what we need and getting out of here pronto?," Roy asked.

The teens all nodded in agreement.

Ruby goes over and grabs a gold knight (identical to the one Yang picked out) and Jaune takes hold of a gold rook (similar to Nora and Ren's piece), smiling at each other. The Death Stalker continues to fight its bonds, cracking the ice a little in the process.

"It's time we left!," Ren said.

"Now, let's get outta here!," Ruby said.

Ruby waves towards everyone who follow her lead except for a smiling Yang and Blake as the latter approaches her partner.

"What's up?," Blake asked.

Yang is seen to be proudly staring at her sister as she leaps on a boulder and motions the group onward.

"It's nothing... just have a feeling about Rubes, that's all.," Yang says as she moves on with the others.

Although Blake didn't get it, she smiles, possibly towards the screen in realization as she follows her partner and the rest of the teens.

Short time skip later...

An overhead shot shows that the group is heading out of the forest and into another abandoned series of structures as the Nevermore follows them from the air. They spread out when it passes above, concealing themselves behind some of the stone blocks with their allies as it perches on a high column and caws.

"Well, that's just perfect!," Yang says annoyed.

Odyn was seen to be thinking about something as he took note of their surroundings: Deathstalker tailing them, Nevermore above them on a pillar just above the bridge, and then smaller Grimmmost likely scared out of hiding by the Giant Scorpion and Bird like Grimm. A plan began to formulate in his head concerning how they'd get out of this situation. But, they had to stay calm for it to work. Khanna, Roy, and Sarai all looked towards him. But, it was weiss who spoke up, recognizing the look of contemplation on her fiance''s face.

"You have something in mind, don't you Odyn?," Weiss asked.

He smirked towards her.

"Sometimes I think you may know me a little too well, princess..," Odyn said chuckling.

She returned the look.

"Well, that's a given isn't it?," Weiss said back to him.

Before Jaune could tell everyone to run, due to their trailing enemies, Odyn spoke to get the teens attention.

"Listen up everyone! There's a way to get out of this, but.. it's pretty clear that we're going to have to fight through these Grimm first. Jaune!," Odyn said addressing the blonde knight.

"Y-Yes?!," He said at the sound of being addressed directly.

"You, Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora handle the little guys down here on the ground. Think you can handle that?," Odyn said to him.

Jaune nodded.

"Y-Yeah, we can do that. Leave it to us!," the blonde knight said.

He then looked towards Sarai, Scarlett, Baron, Flare, and Lazuli and spoke again.

"Sarai, Scarlett, Baron, Flare, and Lazuli can you guys take care of any possible stragglers and Grimm that Jaune and his team might miss? Sorry If I'm giving you the boring job..," Odyn said in apology.

Sarai looked towards her brother and smiled.

"Think nothing of it Nii san, It's important that everyone pitches in to help us get out of here in one piece. We're happy to help.," Sarai said to which the teens beside her nodded in agreement.

He then looked towards the all girl team.

"Ruby. Can you, Weiss, Blake, and Yang handle that overgrown chicken up there? That thing is going to become rather annoying if nothing is done about it.," Odyn said.

Ruby tilted her head in confusion as visible question marks appeared above her head.

""Overgrown chicken?" Huh?," She asked confused.

Roy is seen whispering into her ear to clarify.

"He means the giant bird up there.," Roy said explaining.

Ruby's eyes widened in realization.

"Ohhhh.... Yeah, sure thing! But uh... what will you guys do?," Ruby replied.

Odyn smiled and answered her question.

"Oh us? We'll be taking on the big guy over there.," Odyn replied motioning towards the scorpion Grimm.

Ruby looked a bit concerned and started to object before weiss cut her off, reassurring her that Odyn and his team would be fine.

"But won't you guys need some help wit-!, Ruby said before Weiss interrupted her.

"Ruby, it's fine. Odyn and his team will be just fine on their own taking on that creature. I can't speak for some of the others in his group, but I can tell you that Odyn is plenty strong by himself.. maybe a little too strong actually.," Weiss said.

Ruby was initially surprised at weiss's vote of confidence in them, but she ultimately decided to trust the words of her partner.

The teens gathered together before splitting up into their different groups to take on the Grimm.

JNPR then rushes towards the group of small sized Grimm each taking turns in fighting them off.

"Nora, distract those Beowolves!"Jaune called to her.

Nora nodded, jumping from smashing smaller creeper Grimm, to reaching behind her and launching several heart topped shells from her grenade launcher. They bursted into pink electricity, effectively stunning the larger Beowolves and keeping them in place. She's unaware of several snake like grim coming towards her, until Ren is seen slashing them with his dust weapon, stormflower, before he's seen shooting at them to hold them back. Pyrhha and Jaune are fighting back to back, mowing down creeper Grimm that just kept coming it seemed. Pyrrha threw her shield like a frisby to clear a path for both of them temporarily. The blode knight followed his partner, protecting her blind spots while Pyrrha did the same for Jaune.

Whem larger Grimm came from seemingly out of nowhere is when Sarai and her team jumped in to help JNPR. They heard a voice before several attacks cleared out hordes of Grimm coming at them.

"REIGNING SLASH!"

A wave of energy came and split thr ground as Grimm disappeared by the hundreds. Then came several energy waves, helping out the blonde knight and his soon to be team.

"CRESCENT SCYTHE BARRAGE!"

"SWORD RAIN: ALPHA!"

Flare and Lazuli then both came in with their attacks.

"MAJIN SHOTGUN!"

Several pink colored orbs of light appeared in the air before shooting forward and blasting away the Grimm.

"PHALANYX SPEAR!!"

A small orb of yellow light appeared before Flare came rushing behind it to punch the said orb. Once she did, an enormous beam of light ripped through the forrest, thus clearing out the Grimm that JNPR was surrounded by.

The group of 5 teens then walked towards the blonde knight and his group before Sarai shook Jaune's hand.

"Hope you don't mind us helping you guys. Things were looking a little hairy there for a moment.," Sarai said.

Jaune shook his head before shaking the lavender haired girl's hand.

"No, no, of course not! We appreciated the help.," Jaune replied. The two groups then looked towards their friends battles, hoping they'd soon be over.

with Odyn's group...

Hailfire was seen ramming her shield into the scorpion's shell, only to get blown back slightly before skidding on her feet. She grit her teeth in frustration at this.

"Tch, this bug is really getting annoying!," Hailfire clicked her tongue in frustration.

Zero was dodging and weaving the attacks of the Grimm easily enough, while returning fire with some ki beams aimed at the beast. They either glanced off or missed entirely. Meanwhile Odyn and Roy were just attempting to get close enough to strike it, only for the beast to hide behind its hard exterior or attack with its giant pincers. The group of four skidded back and had a strategy meeting.

"What do we do here, Odyn?" Hailfire asked.

Zero nodded.

"Indeed, nothing we've tried so far has worked.," Zero said.

"And everytime we try and get close to that thing it either hides behind that shell or it swings those enormous pincers at us!," Roy said clearly just as annoyed.

Odyn thought for a moment before something occurred to him.

"Maybe... we've been going about this all wrong...," Odyn suggested.

The others looked towards him in confusion.

"What do you mean by that?" they all asked.

"Think about it.. (looks to Roy) What's your strongest element?," Odyn asked.

Roy thought for a moment before quickly answering.

"That'd be lightning.," Roy answered.

Odyn nodded.

"Exactly! And what does lightning do?," He asked again.

Roy's eyes widened in realization, he now understood.

"It.. paralyzes as well as weakens and destroys!," Roy said understanding now.

He looks towards Zero.

"And Zero, don't you have a technique that's designed for freezing people in place?," Odyn asked.

zero nodded.

"Okay. so new plan guys! Roy and Zero, you two immoblize this thing so it won't move, Hailfire, I need you to upend this creature. Once it's vulnerable and can't defend itself, I'll slice off that stinger. That's when Hailfire will finish it off by driving that stinger into its skull." Odyn suggested.

the teens all nodded in agreement.

The Grimm roared at them as it was ready for round two.

"Okay! here we go!", Odyn shouted.

The stinger came forward first, which was parried by Hailfire. The beast shook of the blow and then decided to charge.

"It's charging!"Zero said.

Hailfire smirked before bringing her shield out. She cast an art from her shield to knock the beast off balance.

"Now!", she shouted.

Roy pointed his blade skyward before shooting the lightning right at the beast, while Zero used his ki to hold it in place. The lightning cascaded down and paralyzed the beast, allowing Odyn to rush in and upend the beast using nothing but his raw physical strength to toss the Grimm skyward. Seeing this, he leapt into the air before slicing off the stinger. He looked towards the elven shieldmaiden.

"Hailfire, DO IT NOW!," He screamed.

Hailfire also leapt into the air before barrelling down, sword withdawn, and batted down the stinger. As she batted it down, the stinger was driven deep into the creature's skull ending its life. A loud crash was heard as the four teens then high fived each other before looking to the distance.

"Nice one, Hail.," Roy said congradulating the chestnut haired dark elf.

"That was a nice finishing touch there. You dark elves never cease to amaze me in terms of what you can do on the battle field.," Zero said.

"Thanks guys, I was only able to do that because you distracted the beast long enough for me.," Hailfire said.

Odyn nodded.

"She's right, it was a collective team effort That won us this victory. Hopefully our friends are faring as well as we are right now.," Odyn said as they all looked towards where Ruby's team fought the Nevermore.

Back with Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang...

Help came from an unexpected place as Khanna, a faunus girl named Aiko, and two Faunus brothers (saiyajin, not that any of them know that yet XD) named Giblet and Shallot were seen to be assisting the all girl team. Yang and and Khanna were seen to be peppering the giant bird like grimm with firepower. While Yang was burning through shotgun shells, Khanna was using something a little more potent, and that was flame magic. All dark elves had flame magic, but Khanna's was in particular alot more... lethal than most fire magic was. She was wordlessly chanting, so it gave the appearance that it was coming out of the gauntlet like wristlets she wore.

"Flame Magic: Fist of the Lioness!"

Khanna charged and swung her fist forward , expelling a barrage of fire like lights towards the bird grimm before a larger one shaped like the head of a lion rammed into the creature disorienting it a bit. Yang lands a blow on the creature's face as well, causing it to heads towards her. The blonde brawler is seen leaping for its open mouth as she forces the beak wide while continuing to attack.

"I! Hope! You're! Hun-... gry!," Yang says firing a round into its mouth with each syllable.

Yang looks behind her and leaps back, causing the Nevermore to crash into the cliffs. The Grimm recovers quickly despite her and Khanna's best efforts as it chases them again, that is before a barrage of blasts assault the beast knocking it to the side. Shortly after, Giblet rockets towards the beast and punches its face even further disorienting it.

"PICK ON SOMEONE... YOUR OWN SIZE... OVERGROWN CHICKEN!!!," Giblet said annoyed as he knocked the beast away.

Yang was seen to be smirking towards the saiyajin teen as she seemed to like what she saw from him. the camera then pans to Ruby and Blake as they are seen on the broken columns with Weiss rushing to the battle. Yang passes her while the Nevermore starts to fly back up, but Weiss hops over to the ruin it's lifting off of and freezes the tip of its feathery tail to the ground, leaving it stuck in the same spot despite its flapping. Weiss back-flips into a snowflake-circle jump and lands on the other side, running to the group. Shallot is seen to be providing supporting fire with ki blasts from afar to distract the birdlike grimm. Giblet joins in with the fire support as the camera shifts back to Blake as she fires the pistol portion of her dust weapon, Gambol Shroud, over towards Yang. The blonde brawler catches it as the two girls then tighten the ribbon attached to the weapon in between the columns so Ruby can jump on the center with Crescent Rose and bend it back into Weiss' black sigil, right next to the caster.

Weiss chuckles and sighs towards her teammate.

"Of course you'd come up with a crazy idea like this.," Weiss said in resignation.

Ruby looks towards her partner.

"Think you can make the shot?," Ruby asked.

Weiss looked back to the girl.

"Can I?," Weiss replied chuckling slightly at the question.

A second of no response passes.

"Can't?," Ruby asked.

Weiss is slightly offended by this and makes her displeasure known, but reels it back due to her conversation with Odyn previously.

"Of course I can! Who do you think you're talking to?," Weiss said a little offended.

Ruby looks forward and pumps Crescent Rose as Weiss turns the circle from black to red and releases Ruby at such a speed that the ground behind her launch cracks, rose petals flying from her ascent. With each new shot, she gets closer and closer to the trapped Grimm until her scythe catches the Nevermore's neck in its blade and causes them both to fall to the cliff wall. Weiss raises her sword and creates a series of white circles up the wall, which Ruby dashes through by firing the entire way up. The other teens are seen watching in awe, including Yang, Blake, and an exhausted Weiss.They all watch her climb up with the bird in her grasp until, both warrior and monster crying out, Ruby reaches the top of the cliff, circles up, fires one last shot, and rends the Nevermore's head from its shoulders in a shower of petals. She lands beside the severed head as the body of the giant Nevermore falls lifeless to the ruins and crevice below while the girls and, farther away, the teams of other teens all look on in amazement of what a girl as petite as Ruby just did.

"Wow.." Jaune is seen saying in awe.

"Heh, well done Ruby.," Roy said.

"Knew she had it in her.," Sarai said.

"Not bad, Ruby, not bad at all.," Khanna thought aloud.

These were just some of what was said by the other teens while Ruby, with her cape and petals flowing in the wind, looks down to her friends as they peer up towards her. The girl is seen smiling as the faint sound of an audience clapping are heard, growing louder by the second, as a rather familiar voice is heard as the scene transitions.

Time skip: Beacon auditorium..

The scene transitions back to the Beacon Academy auditorium, where the aforementioned audience is heard clapping. A familiar voice reavealed to be Ozpin is then heard speaking up.

"Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark."

the screen of the auditorium shows each of their profiles as the boys are lined up for the applauding audience to see as Ozpin continues his speech.

"The four of you boys retrieved the black bishop pieces. Congradulations, young men, from now on, the four of you will be known as Team CRDL. Led by Cardin Winchester! I look forward to your growth as fine Huntsmen over these next four years.," Opin said congradulating them.

The audience gives one more wave of ovation, while four students walk up to the stage to take their places in front of the headmaster as their faces fill the screen.

"Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. and Nora Valkyrie... The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces, congradulations to you four. You will now be known as Team JNPR, led by... Jaune Arc! "

Jaune was surprised at this.

"H-Huh? L-Led by?," Jaune asked confused.

"Congradulations, young man. I look forward to your growth as a leader and of all four of you as Hutsmen and Huntresses." Ozpin said.

A smiling Pyrrha then bumps her "fine leader" as he is knocked over and falls to his butt in front of the laughing audience.

JNPR steps down off of the platform as a new group of 4 then take their place, center stage as Ozpin addresses them with their potraits displayed on the screens in the background.

"Sarai Albanar, Giblet Zenkai, Scarlett Reinhardt, and Shallot Zenkai... the four of you worked together and retrieved the the silver bishop pieces. Well done. I look forward to seeing your growth as Huntsmen and Huntresses over the next 4 years here. You will now work together as Team SSGS (lol it's literally Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan 😂😂), led by... Sarai Albanar!," ozpin announced.

The crowd applauded as the team of four acknowlwedged the praise and stepped down so the other team of teens could take their place.

Khanna's group then took their place as Ozpin had a special greeting for them.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a five man team for the first time in Beacon Academy history! Congratulations to you five as you are making history be standing here. Lazuli Kitsune. Baron Caldern. Khanna Branwen. Flare Kitsune. And Aiko Reinhardt. The five of you retrieved the black rook pieces, well done. From now on, the five of you will work together as Team KABFL. Led by... Khanna Branwen! I look forward to seeing you grow into fine Huntsman and Huntresses over these next 4 years.," Ozpin announced.

The crowd applauded and clapped in approval before the five were replaced by Odyn's group.

Ruby looked towards her sister in surprise.

"Yang, did you hear that?," Ruby asked.

Yang nodded.

"Yup, sure did Rubes.," Yang replied.

"Branwen, huh? I wonder if she's related to Uncle Qrow? You think she is maybe?," Ruby said in thought.

Yang thought about, but shook her head, dismissive of the possibility.

"Nah, there's NO way... I bet their surnames are just spelled the same way out of coincidence.," Yang said.

Ruby wasn't convinced, but nodded in agreement with her sister anyways.

"Well.. if you say so, Yang.," Ruby said in reply.

They looked forward again.

"Zero Nakazaki. Roy Albanar. Hailfire Caldern. And Odyn Albanar. The four of you displayed exemplary courage, tenacity, and a willingness to help your fellow man in the face of dangerous odds, well done. You retrieved the silver rook pieces. From now on, you will work together as Team ORHZ, Led by.. Odyn Albanar! I look forward to seeing your growth into fine and exemplary Huntmen and Huntresses in the next 4 years.," Ozpin finished.

The crowd applauded them as they stepped down off the stage to make room for the all girl team. Roy nodded towards Ruby, making the girl briefly smile back at him as the two groups passed each other. The portraits of each of the girls then filled the screen on their way to stand center stage in the auditorium.

"And Finally... Blake Belladonna. Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. And Yang Xiao Long. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces, well done. The four of you, from now on, will work as Team RWBY, Led by... Ruby Rose! I'm looking forward to seeing the four of you grow into fine young Huntresses in the next 4 years." Ozpin finished.

Weiss looked to her right, surprised as Yang is seen then hugging her sister in glee.

"I'm so proud of you, Ruby!" Yang said hugging her sister in joy.

The crowd then applauded as the girls basked in the cheers. They walked off of the stage and towards their friends. Roy came over to congradulate Ruby.

"Congratulations on being named as a Team Leader, Ruby. I know you'll do a great job.," Roy said encouraging the girl.

Ruby smiled towards him as the camera briefly cuts to Odyn and weiss talking.

"I know you want to say something, Princess. But, just let her have this. Do what you can to help her out, okay?," Odyn said.

Weiss sighs and lightly chuckles.

"Alright, Odyn. I'll... try. You know these sort of things never come easy to me.," Weiss replied.

Odyn smirked.

"I know. (Smiles towards her) That's all I can ask of you.," He said.

The camera then fades back to Ozpin who looks on and the scene with a pleasant smile, though it's hidden from his face.

"Things are shaping up to be a very intersting year this year..," Ozpin said in thought.

The camera pans over the auditorium's structure until it escapes into the open sky and shows the scattering crescent moon amid the day's clouds...

Elsewhere....

before going into the night and seeing the moon through a window, providing a view to the outside for a shadowy room filled with shelves and a desk in the back, where Roman Torchwick is getting a call on his phone. The muffled conversation ends, and Roman angrily slams the phone down, sighing. He holds a cigar to his mouth and puts his symbolized lighter to the end, just as a man in a gray mask and black hood comes with a trolley. Roman holds out a collection of Lien, which he places on the table and the man takes.

"Open it.," the Crime boss said.

The masked man does so with a crowbar, revealing a large amount of Dust crystals of varying colors - orange, blue, white, red, green, cyan, gold, yellow, and more. Roman picks up a blue gem in his hand and looks at the loot.

The orange haired man sighs as he looks at the loot.

"We're.. going to need more men for this.," Roman says.

The view zooms in on the map above the desk, showing Vale and various districts and areas of crossed-out locations, all leading into a specially-circled place - Beacon - as the scene sets to black.

End Chapter...

Ending:

Ending theme: reincarnated as a sword ending 1

Visuals: starts with weiss as a child in her home with her hands on her knees and looking sad. She then gets up and begins running towards something, a light at the end of a dark tunnel. It is revealed to be Odyn also as a child seeing Weiss and running towards her from the opposite end of the screen before it changes to the two as young adults (in their late teens) as they meet in the middle. Odyn is seen reaching out a hand and smiling towards the girl who looks away with a blush briefly before taking his hand as they stare into the distance hand in hand before the rest of the cast join them.

And... done! Whew! That was a doozy to write! Anyways as you maybe can see, I'm writing some of the other teens a little differently this time around i.e. Flare, Aiko, and Scarlett. As you can tell Weiss will be ... different this time around, this is due to Odyn's influence on her as a child (chapter 1 if you're wondering lol). And sorry if I have Roy with different hair colors then I previously said. He will have a mix of violet hair from his mom (Hyatan) and cerulean blue from his father (Berethon).

Anyways, polls will be in upcoming chapters. And yes, Flare has a little more saiyan like powers this time around so she'll be stronger. Don't worry Daikon, Note, Beat, Jinjer, and another will come into the story just.... later. Anyways that's all for now! Until the next update!

Next time: Chapter 7: The Badge, The Burden, and... complicated feelings.
