Chapter 3
We stood on the odd stone plates in the ground, the wind howling. I listened to ozpin explain.
"Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path, or you will die."
I gave a smile.. 'Well thats doable. Now, how are we getting down?-' i got my answer as i was thrown off the cliff by the stone plate. "OZPIN YOU BASTARD-" I was about to hit the trees, before landing myself safely on the ground.
"God i love my semblance. Now, to-" and then there was the sound of leaves rustling, as i grabbed my rifle, aiming at the bushes, before a human head popped up.
"I guess we're partners now, huh?" Her voice was smooth, as i smiled. "Yeah, i guess so. The name's Y/N."
"Call me Siren." I nodded. "We should get moving, dont want any grimm sneaking up on us-" immediately as i said that, we were surrounded.
"Oh the irony. You got a weapon?" I asked, as she lifted a flute to her lips. A black liquid covered her eyes like a masquerader's mask as her eyes turned white.
She began to play, as all the grimm began to melt, i covered my ears.
The grimm then reformed into one large monster, as she smiled, walking up to it and petting it.
"The hell are you doing?!" I whisper yelled at her. She gave a smile. "Its my semblance. Come over here." The inky black masquerader's cowl had faded away, and her eyes returned to normal.
I walked over, lowering my rifle but not by much. She scratched its neck as it melted again, this time not reforming.
"Alright. Lets move." We began walking, before the sound of gunfire alerted us, as we ran to the scene.
There were two people. One, seemingly a war machine as he tore through grimm like they were nothing.
The other, a short girl with long ginger hair and bright green eyes, as she used a bow and arrow.
I teleported Siren, taking shots at the grimm from afar.
The three were taking out several grimm, as i jumped in, weilding my short sword, as ibegan cleaving grimm in half with my semblance as i was sweating a lot, running out of energy.
"Guys! We need to get to the temple, there's too many for us to take on!" They all nodded, as we began running, us being led offof a cliff.
"We're surrounded!" The ginger girl yelled.
"Okay, on three we're jump off the cliff, the temple is in sight!" They all looked at me like i was crazy as the grimm closed in.
"Just trust me!"
They all looked behind them to the cliff, and then back at the grimm.
"One!"
They glanced back each other.
"Two!"
I took in a deep breath, turning around and walking to the edge of the cliff. "THREE!" I leaned backwards, as all the others jumped off, before i yelled.
"BRACE FOR IMPACT!"
we all hit the ground, and hard, on a bunch of stone slabs, as i laughed.
"Holy shit! We made it all the way!"
"DO YOU MEAN WE COULD HAVE NOT MADE IT?!" The ginger yelled at me as i laughed.
"I meant i could have missed and landed us like 500 feet away from it, we wouldn't have died. Now, lets get the relics and get going."
"Well, before we get going, we should know eachothers names. My name is Tyra." I smiled at the ginger girl.
"Y/N Soltar, its a pleasure to meet you."
Siren waved. "I'm Amber, but please call me Siren."
The short haired war machine raised a board, as i read it.
"Henry, huh? Alright. Lets get our relics. Maybe if we grab the same ones, we'll be on the same team. "
Siren cocked an eyebrow.
"If you say so." We all got up, my legs slightly shaking, as we went to grab...
"Chess peices? Whatever, lets just get back. No reason to wait." I tried to walk, before my legs gave out.
"Henry, a little help? I can't walk on my own." Henry nodded, walking over and throwing my arm over his shoulder, his over mine.
"Thanks, i overdid it on that last jump." We walked back to the cliff before realizing something.
"We have to climb the cliff..."
Henry then lifted me onto his shoulders, beginning to climb up, as the others followed him.
"Wait a minute, why is there a second initiation?"
Tyra giggled. "Its for people like us who got in on special terms. In fact, we were being watched by the rest of the school for the whole thing. They just do a second initiation so it doesnt feel like we cheated our way in."
I nodded. "Okay, that makes sense-"
"Congratulations, you four."
"JESUS OZ! you scared the shit outta me-"
"Mr. Soltar! Language!"
"Sorry, ms. Goodwitch."

"And now, we annouce another new team, Team HAST (Haste)
Lead by Henry Automon!"
I smiled at him. "Congrats, henry!"
And then something caught my eye as i began to stare.
"Ruby rose..." i oh so quietly muttered under my breath.
She locked eyes with me, as the same look was on both of our faces.
It was brief, but for a moment i saw it, feeling the pain rattle through my body.
"This may be the last sunset i'll see..."
I looked away, raising a hand to my head as she walked away with her team.
"Ow..." a migrane had begun.
"Hey, lets get to our dorms, i've got a headache." I was able to walk now which was helpful.
We made it to our dorms, as i immeidately shut the curtains, laying on one of the beds. "Goodnight, everyone. I'd stay up, but i've got a migrane."
And with that, i drifted to sleep, as one thought rang through my head.
'I finally found her.'
"Wake up... y/n! Wake up!" I opened my eyes, in a pitch black void with nothing but a white cloaked person standing infront of me.
"Summer? Where are we?" She gave a smile, as we were standing on top of... water?
"Well, to put it simply, in your head. Or more specifically, your dream. Try changing things." I did as she said, the world around us physically changing.
"Woah. So, why are you here?"
"Well, remember that dream from 13 years ago?" I nodded.
"Thats your future, and im here to help you. We could change that fate, but it will stay mostly the same. I can only be here when you dream, though. For now, just keep going."
She smiled at me, beginning to fade away.
"Good luck, Y/N."
And with that, i woke up, getting ready for class.
We got to class, on time with the rest of the students.
I looked around the room, trying to find anyone intresting, until i saw her again.
"Ruby rose... i need to talk to her-"
"Alright students! Its time for our lesson! Where was i last time... ah yes! Blah blah blah-"
I tuned him out, watching the girl, as more of the dream flooded my head.
Gunfire. Something heavy falls.
"Rosebud?..."
I shake my head, looking away.
'My whole body aches... im gonna sleep.'
I once again fall asleep, only to be awoken by the bell, as i saw that ruby did aswell. I got up, leaving class, waiting for her. She walked out the door, as i locked eyes with her.
"Hey, my name's Y/N, i'm new here, could you show me around?"
She smiled. "Of course, could i see your class sheet?" I handed it to her as her eyes widened.
"We have the same classes, what a coincidence!" She then looked up, locking eyes with me.
"Somethings so..."
"Familiar? Yeah, theres something about you thats familiar as well... what do you say we hangout more often?" She nodded.
"Alright, lets go to class!" I followed her and her team as my team followed us, us all sitting next to eachother at lunch as we introduced ourselves to eachother.
"Hi, i'm Yang, ruby's older sister!" The blonde girl threw her arm over ruby's shoulder as the other introduced themselves.
"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company." Tyra had a look of shock.
"Whats a Schnee doing in Vale?"
"Needed to get away from family."
The last one introduced herself. "And i'm Blake Belladonna. Its a pleasure to meet you."
Tyra pulled her collar down slightly in view of solely Blake, as she smiled. Blake had a look of shock, but said nothing as i introduced myself and Henry.
"I am Y/N Soltar, its a pleasure to meet you. This is HenryAutomon, our leader." I gestured to him, as he waved with a smile, writing on the board he had.
"I dont have vocal cords, please do excuse my silence!" Is what it read.
They all smiled. "Oh, its no problem." Yang said, as Blake, Ruby, and Weiss nodded in agreement.
Tyra smiled. "I guess i'll go next, i'm Tyra Azural."
Siren smiled at the group gently. "My name is Amber Midni, but please call me Siren."
I looked over in time to see another team walking towards us.
And then i noticed a familiar red haired girl. "Oh! Hey Pyyrha!" She smiled at me and my team.
"Wait, you know Pyyrha?" Yang cocked an eyebrow. I nodded.
"Yeah, she was on the airship in, helped me feel better."
"What'd she help you feel better about?"
"Uhm- its really embarrassing..."
Yang laughed. "Just tell us, it can't be that bad."
"Okay... i got into the school without any prior combat training..." everyone looked at me like i was crazy as Pyyrha's team sat down next to us.
"There's no way you haven't had any combat training before! Come on, after class we'll spar!" Yang looked very excited.
"Uh- no thanks-"
"Yes, you should! Sparring with someone of Yang's caliber would help you a lot, especially with making progress on your training, Y/N!" Pyyrha smiled at me as i sighed.
"Okay, fine. But i'm making some new weapons first." Ruby got very excited.
"Oh! Can i come and help you?!" She smiled brightly as i nodded. "Of course, in fact, all of you could come if you guys want!"
Blake an Weiss shook their heads no, and yang laughed. "Nah, i'll pass. I want our fight to be a suprise, i dont want to know all the ins and outa of Your weapon before our fight, makes it less intresting."
"Alright then, Ruby. Lets go."
We made it to the forge, as i showed her what i was thinking of for a basic design. She got very excited. "Oh, how about we add this? And make it seperatable here, and make it a gun?!"
"Is the gun part really nessicary?"
"YES!"
"What about just one?"
"Aww... fine..."

I was in the ring, standing on the opposite side of yang. The match began, and i immediately went to dodging, as she rushed me. I dove and rolled to the left of her, under her attack.
"Come on, draw your weapon already, or take a swing!" She three another punch, as i dodged backwards, sticking a threepoint landing for balance.
She became increasingly angry.
"FIGHT ME DAMMIT!" I continued to dodge, trying to find out what her semblance was, before she collided her fists together, her eyes going from lavender to crimson, as her hair was lit ablaze.
And then i took a swift hook to the jaw, sending me flying.
Shit, she's fast!
She went in for another hit, this time i was able to dodge it, but just barely as i used my semblance, moving me to the other side of the ring.
She turned to face me, seemingly even more angry, as i swung my left hand in an arcing motion.
"GET OVER HERE!" i prepared my right hand, rearing it back as she was yanked closer.
My semblance pulled her over, confusing her just enough that i had time to throw my right with all the force i could muster, sending her flying like she did to me moments before.
She held her face, smiling. "Damn kid, you can throw a punch hard!"
"We're the same age, Yang."
"My point still stands. Wanna continue?" I nodded, before i was hit in the face.
"Ow..." i openedmy eyes just in time to see yang above me, about to slam down with the entirety of her force onto my face, as i used my semblance just in time to get out of the way, now above her, slamming my fist into her back before teleporting underneath her, hitting her in the back of the head, jumping out of the way.
"You tricky bastard!" She laughed, getting up after hitting the ground. I then grabbed my weapon from my back,aiming fhe end of the blade it her.
"Whats that supposed to- ohhhh shit." I began firing at her, as she was dodging, returning fire. I did a backflip, before landing teleporting myself next to her, kicking her in the jaw before landing, or when i would have landed, had it not been for her grabbing and slamming me into the ground.
The alarm sounded.
"Ow..." my aura was low, in the red, as hers was just barely in the yellow. She offered a hand to me, as i took it, letting her pull me up.
"Thanks... guess i need to work on my aura, huh?" She nodded.
"Yeah, but dont shortsell yourself, glass cannon. You hit hard."
"You're really going to call me a glass cannon?"
"Absolutely."
"Well, thanks for the fight, Yang. It was good getting to know you."
"You too, we'll have to do this later, ya hear? That was fun!"
"Yeah. Catch you later, Yang."
"Catcha later!" I walked to my team, following them to the dorm.
"My everything hurts..."
"Well, get some rest, you've got training to do, and i can gauruntee it wonr be easy with Pyyrha being your coach." Tyra spoke with her ever kind voice, as i nodded.
"Goodnight, you guys." The soft music playing from the radio soothed me to sleep.
