Chapter 4: The Initiation
The Next Morning
As sunrise began to shine over Vale its warm light beamed on Beacon and shined through the windows of the ballroom. This sunlight reflected and warmed the face of Sarah who was peacefully snoring with a small bubble shrinking and growing from her nose every time she inhaled and exhaled. After growing too big the snot bubble popped and in reaction Sarah opened her eyes and blinked a few times. She yawned as she unzipped herself from her cocoon of a sleeping bag and her wings stretched much to her relief. She was stood on her knees and leaned back to stretch her body as she took a look to her left and went wide-eyed from what she saw. To her left was a pile of three sleeping bags with three different bodies laying on one another. The first person she saw was Annie sprawled out on top of someone while her wings were closed. The next body she saw was a blonde girl she had never seen before, and this girl was laid on top of a body that was under both the girls. The last person she saw was you as you hugged your tail and it looked like you were having a good dream because you were kissing your tail passionately.
"W-W-What are you guys doing?!" Sarah yelled in a flustered state as she waved her arms around.
Due to her flustered commotion this caused Annie to wake up as she opened her eyes and looked around groggily.
"Huh? Oh, good morning, Sarah." Annie said while looking up at her from the floor as she yawned.
"A-Annie! W-What are you doing? Who is that? Why you two on top of Y/N?" Sarah asked as Annie rubbed her eyes.
"Huh? Oh, we were just having some fun last night. It was crazy..." Annie rubbed her eyes as Sarah grew a deep blush.
"What did you three do...?" Sarah asked cautiously.
"Hm?" Annie looked at her in confusion before realizing what Sarah was thinking and growing a smug look. "Huh? We did all kinds of things. Y/N was so aggressive with us." Annie said with a grin.
"Wha—?!" Sarah was jaw dropped.
"Oh, and this is Yang. She was going crazy last night also. I couldn't believe the faces she was making. They were just incredible." Annie continued as Sarah's jaw hit the ground. "Hey, Yang. Wake up." Annie said as she used her two tails and slapped Yang on both her butt cheeks.
The action caused the blonde's body to jolt as she groaned and stirred around. Her lilac eyes opened up and as she sat up from where she was laying, she rubbed her eyes and turned towards the two girls she was next to.
"Oh, morning Annie." Yang yawned as she rubbed her eye with one hand and her butt with the other. "Why does my butt hurt?" Yang said as Annie scooted over to her and whispered into her ear.
"Follow my lead." She whispered as Yang stared at her and Annie turned back to Sarah. "Oh yeah, last night was crazy. Y/N was just having his way with us, that beast!" Annie giggled and bit her lip as Yang caught on.
"Oh, yeah, it was amazing. The way he would just grab me, toss me around like his plaything, ahh, it was the best." Yang closed her eyes to look like she was in bliss.
By this point Sarah had a lifeless smile on her face as she looked to the side.
"Oh? Sounds nice..." Sarah said in a gloomy tone.
Suddenly though, Yang and Annie both exploded in laughter as Sarah snapped out of her fuzzy state and stared at them in confusion.
"Oh god, the face you were making was priceless!" Annie laughed as Yang was laughing and leaning on Annie's shoulder.
"W-W-W-What's going on?" Sarah demanded to know as Yang wiped a tear off her face.
"We were just kidding, nothing happened last night. It just so happened that you guys set your sleeping bags next to Y/N mine and my sister's bags so we just spent the night talking." Yang giggled as she reached her hand out to Sarah. "I'm Yang Xiao Long, it's nice to meet you. Sorry for teasing you." Yang laughed as Sarah took her hand and shook it while looking away.
"Nice to meet you..." She muttered with a cute pouty face as a light blush covered her cheeks.
Just then they heard snoring noises coming from behind them as they turned to see you still fast asleep and Ruby somehow turned her body and kicked you in the face as you tried to continue kissing your tail but her foot didn't let up. The three of them laughed a little before looking at each other and Annie spoke up.
"Why don't we go catch a shower? That way we don't have to rush when it's time to get ready for the initiation." Annie suggested.
"Sounds good." Yang agreed.
"I could use a shower after that..." Sarah said as the three of them all got up.
After a few minutes passed and the girls left, you felt the warmth of the sun shine on your face as you groggily woke up and adjusted your vision before seeing you were only sleeping next to Ruby.
"Huh? Did the other girls leave?" You wondered as you rubbed your eyes. "Well, we better get ready also...Ruby, wake up." You said as you let go of your tail and used it to tap Ruby's shoulder.
"Nghh...Five more cookies..." Ruby mumbled while turning away.
"Five more cookies is what you said last time, and you ended up having 10. Wake up, we have to get ready for initiation." You said as you nudged her with your foot until she finally opened her eyes.
"Alright, I'm up..." Ruby yawned as she rubbed her eyes and turned to see Yang was gone. "Where's Yang?" She asked.
"She must have gone with the other girls to get ready. Let's go, we can both catch the showers before anyone else and be ready first." You said as you began to fix your sleeping bag.
After fixing your sleeping bag and grabbing your things that you needed for your shower, you and Ruby both went off to the first year locker rooms as you and Ruby walked in and split off as she went to the women's showers and you went to the men's. When you walked into the men's room, you heard a shower at the end of the room was on and steam was coming out of the stall as you placed a towel on the sink counter and began to take off your clothes.
"Hmm, guess we're not the only early birds..." You thought while pulling off your shirt and pulling down your pants.
Just as you were pulling down your underwear you heard the water from the other shower stop and wet footsteps come out. When you turned towards the person, you froze completely as the person who came out did as well.
"This is the men's restroom...No doubt about it, it's the men's restroom. This was meant to be my quiet oasis...So then, how come..." You thought in despair as a set of red eyes glared at you as a naked faunus girl with wings glared at you while her melons dangled from her chest and dripped with water. "Why is there a girl in here!?!?!?" You yelled in shock before you were smacked across the face with her wings and sent flying towards the wall.
Timeskip, After Awkwardly Showering While The Girl Glared At You The Whole Time
You were sat on your knees in the men's restroom where the door was locked as you stared up at the faunus girl who was now fully dressed and looked angry as you took in her looks to memory. She had fire red hair and burning crimson eyes as she had wings with fiery orange flaps and had sharp talons on her fingers.
"You wanna explain what you're doing here?" She asked menacingly.
"Tell me why I shouldn't kick your butt?" She said as she held up the pointed end of her wings towards your throat.
"What do you mean?! This is the MEN'S restroom! You shouldn't even be here!" You said with a shocked face and your hands up.
"Doesn't change that fact that you saw them!" She said as you yelped when she stabbed the ground between your legs.
Just as you were about to retaliate however, you both heard the door suddenly open and voices come in.
"Oh no..." You muttered before she placed her hand on your mouth and shoved you into a shower stall and shut the curtains.
You were pressed against the wall as she covered your mouth by shoving your face into her bosom. You were beet red as she turned the shower on and turned so she was against the wall. She picked her legs up and wrapped them around you as you stared up at her and she was covered in a pink blush as well.
"Don't say a word. We can't let anyone know I'm in here." She said in a suddenly timid voice as your blush slightly let up and you nodded.
She reached behind you and turned the shower knob as warm water began to pour on the two of you. You were wide-eyed when you saw the water hit her clothes and the small shirt she had began to hug her body and began to become see through.
"Ohh god...Why is this happening to me...?" You thought in despair as you spent the whole time hiding in the shower with another faunus girl.
Timeskip, Beacon Cliff
After waiting out the terror of being caught in the showers with a girl, you helped her sneak out and when you both split up, you had to change clothes once more before getting yourself ready and heading out with everyone else to the cliff of Beacon where the initiation would begin. As you were all lined up on stone slabs on the cliff, Ozpin and Glynda were both stood in front of all you first years and began to explain the initiation test to everyone.
"For years you have trained to become warriors, and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin said as Glynda spoke up.
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, allow me us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates...Today." Glynda said.
"Wow, already?" Annie said while Sarah shuffled nervously next to her.
"Now, these teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone whom you can work well with. That being said, the firs person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years." Ozpin explained as you heard glass shatter and turned towards Ruby.
"What!?" Ruby said in pure despair.
"Well, no problem for us, right?" Annie said while flapping her wings and Sarah nodded as well while moving hers a little.
"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along with way. Do not hesitate to destroy anything in your path, or you will die." Ozpin said.
"...Well that's encouraging..." You said while turning your head.
"You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation, but our intstructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing nine relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item, as well a your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?" Ozpin asked as you turned to see the boy who threw up on the first day raise his hand.
"Yeah, um, sir--." The boy was cut off by Ozpin.
"Good, now, take your positions." Ozpin said as everyone got ready and you looked at everyone in confusion.
"Wait, what's going on--AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" You yelled as you were suddenly flung off the stone slab you were standing on and sent flying into the air off the cliff.
As you were spinning around in the air you straightened yourself out and stared down at the forest as you looked around frantically.
"WHO THE HELL THROWS HIS OWN STUDENTS OFF A F***ING CLIFF!?" You yelled as the ground was slowly growing closer. "Damn it...I didn't want to do this...!" You thought as a blue light began to shine from your mouth and your spines flash blue repeatedly.
Just as you were about to do something though you were suddenly stopped and flew forward instead of down as you looked up and saw the girl you met in the restroom from before.
"Y-You...!" You said in shock as she glared at you.
"I don't think it'd be good if you set a forest on fire, you'd kill us all before we pass." She said in an irritated tone.
"Y-Yeah...Thanks..." You said as you just let her carry you as her legs wrapped around you to hold you.
After a few minutes passed the girl began to descend towards the ground and the two of you landed in a small clearing in the woods. You stood up straight and stretched your limbs as your tail stretched out and wagged from side to side a bit. The girl landed next to you and took a look around where you both were as you turned towards her.
"Ah, I never got your name." You said as she glanced at you before turning away.
"Julia." She said in a stern voice as you noticed the tension in her voice.
"Julia, huh? I'm Y/N. It's nice to meet you." You said to her before she suddenly began to leave. "H-Hey!" You called to her before jogging to catch up.
"We don't have time for idle chit chat, let's find those relics and get back to the cliff already." She said as you walked the same pace as her.
"They said the ruins were to the north of the forest." You reminded her as the two of you walked through the thick forest.
Just as you were about to keep going, you both heard strange noises coming from the trees above you. The two of you stopped and Julia readied herself as you extended the sharp claws in your hand out. You watched as leaves fell from the tree and the sounds moved a bit ahead of you. Just then, a branch snapped and from the tree fell out Annie and Sarah.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" They both yelled while hugging each other as they crashed to the ground and you and Julia covered yourselves from the dust.
"A-Are you okay?" You asked as there was stars in both of their eyes as they were tangled up together.
"I see three Annie's..." Sarah muttered with a weird and confused smile.
"Ow..." Annie rubbed her head and sat up before turning towards you in surprise. "Oh, Y/N! Who knew we'd run into each other again? Ahahahaha!" Annie laughed as her gold wings closed on her back.
"Friends of yours?" Julia asked as you laughed awkwardly.
"Y-Yeah..." You said while scratching your head.
45 Minutes Later
After hiking and dredging across the Emerald forest you broke through a tree line with a still dazed Sarah riding on your back as the three of you saw a large clearing in front of you.
"Where are we?" Annie said before Julia pointed out towards the field.
"Look..." She said as you all looked ahead. "The ruins he told us about." She said as you all looked forward and saw a set of ruins out in the distance.
As you looked closer you noticed there were people near the ruins, and saw that Yang was there with some other girl.
"We're not the only ones who found it. Let's go." You said as you marched on with Sarah on your back as the other two followed you.
While Yang and her new companion, Blake, chose one of the relics that was located at the ruins she turned to look around before noticing you coming towards them with the other girls behind you.
"We got more company." Yang said to Blake as she waved at you and you waved back.
"Yang!" You called her as you ran up and stopped in front of her. "You made it here too, that's good." You said in relief as she came over and patted your head.
"Ahaha, you're glad to see me? Good boy, good boy." She said to you.
"Huh? Why am I being treated like a puppy instead of a person?" You thought as a sweat-drop formed on your forehead.
"Yang!!!!!!" Annie suddenly flew in and tackled Yang as she grunted and the two rolled on the ground while Annie rubbed her cheek on Yang's. "I missed chu~!!!" She said as Yang just laughed.
"More friends?" Julia asked as you nodded.
"This is Yang Xiao Long, we came to Beacon together with her younger sister as well." You said to her before noticing something. "Speaking of which, have you seen Ruby?" You asked as Yang and Annie stood up.
"I don't know, she must still be making her way here." Yang said.
"You think she found a partner?" You asked as Yang just shrugged.
"Hey, lizard boy." Julia caught your attention as you turned around and a chess piece was suddenly tossed towards you. "Take care of that, it's the relic we're gonna turn in." She said as you looked at it to see it was the white queen piece.
"Chess? I prefer checkers..." You said before Sarah started to shuffle around on your back.
"H-Huh? Where am I?" She asked before looking down to see you looking up at her as it took her a moment to realize where she was and who she was on. "Y-Y-Y-Y/N!?" She said in a flustered state as she flailed around and fell off your back and on her rear. "Owwie..." She muttered before seeing a hand be reached out and seeing it was yours. "Th-Thanks..." She said as you just smiled and nodded before pulling her to her feet.
"Hmmm, I'll go with this piece also!" Annie said as she held up a white queen chess piece as well.
"Copy cats..." Julia muttered under her breath and pouted while turning away.
Suddenly however, there was a feminine like scream that rang through the forest and caught all of your attentions as you turned towards the direction it came from.
"Some girl's in trouble! Blake, did you hear that?" Yang said in worry as you all stared off to the distance, but Blake was staring up at the sky.
"What should we do?" Sarah asked as everyone turned to look at each other, but you all noticed Blake staring off into space.
"What are you looking at--!" You were cut off when another voice suddenly came into ear shot.
"Heads up!!!!!!!!!" You all heard as you looked up and you gasped when you saw Ruby flying right towards you guys.
"Ruby!" You yelled as you got under her to catch her, but just in the moment of confusion, vomit boy suddenly came into a collision course and crashed right into Ruby as the two flew into a tree. "Huh?" You stood there with your arms open in confusion.
"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake asked before another sound came from the treeline of the forest followed by a sound of an explosion.
You all turned to see an Ursa grimm come out of the trees and swing its arms, but just then it suddenly dropped on the floor and revealed a girl to be riding on its back as she rolled off and stared at it in sadness.
"Awww, it's broken..." The girl said sadly as you were all still confused.
This girl had fair skin, short orange hair and turquoise eyes. She wore a black sleeve cut vest over a white shirt that had a heart cut out near the center of the chest. She had pink finger-less gloves, pink shoes, pink skirt, a blue bow near the back of her waist, and a grenade launcher on her back. Suddenly, she jumped on the corpse of the dead grimm and examined it as a boy came out from behind the beast in exhaustion. He was a young man with long black hair tied into a ponytail that ends midway down his back. There is a magenta streak on the left side of his hair. His eyes match the streak in his hair, and his clothing was a dark green, diagonally-buttoned, long-sleeved tailcoat that is red on the inside, with black and gold trimming and pink cuffs. The trimming goes down the right side of his torso and formed a black collar. He wore a black, long-sleeved shirt beneath the suit and light-tan pants with black shoes.
"Nora...Please...Don't ever do that again..." He said in exhaustion before looking up to see the girl, Nora was already gone.
"Oooo~" You all heard behind you and saw Nora stood at a pedestal where a white rook piece was sat before she nabbed it and began to sing. "I'm queen of the castle~! I'm queen of the castle~!" She sang happily.
"NORA!" The boy called her as she was surprised before giggling.
"Ehehe~ Coming, Ren~!" She said as she skipped towards him.
"Did that girl just ride in on an ursa?" Annie asked in amazement.
"I..." Yang was cut off when a loud screech was heard.
From another part of the tree line, a girl with red hair, green eyes, and wearing armor ran out as a deathstalker chased behind her and blew through the trees in its way. She jumped and ducked everytime it tried to grab her with its pincers before she ran faster away from it.
"Jaune!" She called for her partner before Ruby suddenly jumped from the tree and landed next to you all.
"Ruby!?" Yang said in shock.
"Yang!" Ruby said in happiness as they went to hug.
"Nora~!" Nora came between the two of them.
As things were getting crazier and crazier, you noticed Yang was reaching her limits and pulled Sarah, Annie, and Julia a few steps away from her as you plugged your ears.
"Did she just run all the way here with a deathstalker on her tail?" Blake asked as Yang had enough.
"Grrr....! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" She exploded as her eyes turned red. "COULD EVERYONE JUST CHILL OUT FOR TWO SECONDS BEFORE SOMETHING CRAZY HAPPENS AGAIN!?" She asked in frustration as a tired Ren joined the group and two seconds passed before something crazy happened again.
"Um, Yang...?" Ruby tapped her sister's shoulder as Yang slouched in despair as you all looked up to see the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company, Weiss Schnee, hanging from the talon of a Nevermore. "I said jump." Ruby commented.
"She's gonna fall." Blake said.
"She'll be fine." Ruby said reassuringly.
"She's falling." Ren confirmed as the heiress fell from the sky.
Suddenly, you noticed vomit boy poke out of a tree and look up at Weiss falling as he jumped out towards her with his arms open, but a voice chimed in.
"I got ya!" Annie flew in and grabbed the princess as the three of them seemed to float in the air for a moment before Annie realized something. "Hey, how are you still up here?" She asked the blonde boy before he looked down and looked at her with a horrified look.
"Oh god...NO...!" He yelled as he fell down towards the ground and the two girls watched him fall.
Just as he fell though, you jumped in the air and caught him before he hit the ground and slid to a stop as you sat him down.
"You okay?" You asked him.
"My only chance..." He muttered as you awkwardly stepped away and rejoined the group.
Just then, the girl running from the deathstalker was tossed towards you all as you all watched her slid in front of you and Yang spoke up.
"Great, the gang's all here. Now we can all die together." She said in a fake happy tone.
"Die?" Sarah said while shivering with fear as Annie patted her head.
"Not if I can help it." Ruby said before screaming and running off towards the deathstalker.
"Ruby, wait!" Yang yelled as she chased her.
Ruby unsheathed her scythe and shot a bullet to catapult towards the huge scorpion grimm, but as they met the grimm smacked her away with its pincer and knocked her down as she slowly got up.
"D-D-Don't worry! Totally fine!" She said before hearing loud steps behind her and turning to see the beast right in front of her.
She shot it in the armor once before turning and running away as the beast gave chase and followed right after her.
"Ruby!" Yang yelled as she ran faster.
Just then, the screech of the Nevermore came from the sky as it locked its sights on Ruby and flapped its wings before sending a barrage of sharp black wings towards her as one of the pinned her down by her red hood. More feathers cut Yang off as she slid to a stop and tried to reach out for Ruby.
"Ruby, get out of there!" Yang yelled.
"I'm trying!" Ruby yelled while trying to rip her hood away from the feather.
Just then however the deathstalker stopped in front of Ruby and raised its golden stinger high into the air as Ruby stared up at it in despair and the stinger came flying down towards her.
"RUBY!" Yang screamed before a blue light suddenly flashed.
Just before the stinger reached her, a blue beam of light hit the deathstalker right in its face as sparks flew off it and made the beast stagger back. Ruby stared in shock as another beam struck the ground in front of the monster and blew up before the beam hit the beast and made more sparks fly off it. Everyone turned in shock as they saw you standing in front of the group, your claws were extended and your teeth were sharp fangs now as you had an angry look on your face.
"Stay away from her..." You said as your spines flashed blue and you unleashed another beam from your mouth towards the deathstalker as everyone in the group watched in awe of your power.
