Chapter 5

Black color eyes slowly opened due to the morning light hitting his face. Black lifted himself up and stretched his limbs before looking around. Some of the other students seemed to have already woken up while the rest are still asleep. He walked out the ballroom and headed to the cafeteria he passed by yesterday.

Black walked into the cafeteria and grabbed some breakfast. He looked for a table that he could sit alone, away from the other students who were already in here. Walking for a bit he finally found one that was a good distance from everyone.

He sat down and began eating his breakfast, pancakes are what they're called. "Today's the initiation, this should be interesting." While he was eating he started to ponder thoughts of what kind of initiation this might be. As he was in deep thought a girl in red walked up to him and tapped his shoulder. Looking over his shoulder and he saw that it was Ruby. "H-Hi," She nervously waved.

"Ah if it isn't the bees knees," Ruby looked away a bit embarrassed from the name Yang gave her. "A-Actually my names Ruby," Black fully turned to face her.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"I'm pretty sure Gohan already told you my name." He said.

"Yea he did, but I'd like to hear it from you" She smiled. He stared at her, then sighed. "My names Black,"

"Well Black, it's nice to meet you." Ruby then seemed to remember something. "Oh, you dropped your book last night." She held the book in front of her.

"If I recall, I threw it at your sister and the Schnee, not drop it." Ruby face turned slightly red from embarrassment. "Oh yea, I forgot." Black grabbed the book from her hands and placed it on the table. "But thanks,"

Glynda's voice was then heard from the speakers telling all first-year students to start getting ready for their initiation. Black got up and wiped his mouth with a napkin. "Well, I'm going to head to the cliff." He started walking away.

"Okay, it was nice talking to you." She said. Black just waved her off.

In another part of the school, two teens were currently in a messy situation. "How did I end up like this?" Gohan asked himself.

A couple of seconds ago…

Gohan was walking down the hall when all of a sudden he heard shouting. "Weeeee!" Looking to his left he saw someone sliding down the stairs in a cardboard box heading towards him. They both ended up crashing into each other and into a supply room.

Now back at present time…

The guy who crashed into him popped out of a pile of boxes with a smile and said. "Again!" Gohan pushed himself off the floor and wiped some green paint from his face and pulled off some of the papers that were glued on to him. The other guy pushed himself out of the box he was in and fell face forward and giggled. "That was pretty fun right?"

"Actually it was quite dangerous," Gohan grabbed a towel and wiped the rest of the paint off from his face and arms. "I mean it didn't hurt me but what if it was someone else, they could get hurt."

The guy thought about for a moment, "Psh, Na, they'll just move out of the way." He grabbed his leg and wiggled it a bit. "Why do you think we have legs for? To run away from danger." Gohan looked at the guy with a strange look. "I mean, he's half right."

The boy in front of him had purple hair, blues eyes, and peach colored skin. He wore a navy blue jacket with a green shirt underneath, brown pants, and black sneakers.

"LEWIS!" A voice yelled out. "Whelp I gotta go, the police are after me, bye!" Lewis then jumped out the window and as he did Glynda walked in with an annoyed look. "Where is he?!" Gohan pointed out the window.

When she looked out the window a pie hit her in the face. Wiping the pie off a tick mark appeared on her forehead when she saw Lewis running away. "You'll never take me alive!" He shouted. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Gohan slowly walked out the room out of fear that she'll release her anger on him.

When he walked out the room he breathe out and wiped his forehead. "I think I should just go get my weapons and head to the cliff." With that set, Gohan headed to the locker room. When reached the room he passed by a guy with slightly long black hair and a girl with short orange hair. He heard the girl talking about what kind of sound a sloth makes which made him chuckle a bit. As he entered the locker room he noticed Weiss Schnee with an evil smile and some dark clouds around her which confused him greatly.

Ignoring whatever was going on he went over to his locker which was at a corner and started changing. Now wearing his regular combat clothes he looked at himself from a small mirror his locker had and smiled. "Never thought I would have a second chance to enjoy my life again," His smile then turned into a slight frown when his mind went back to Black. "He looks exactly like dad. But his ki it's…different."

A whistle was heard to his right. Looking at who whistled he saw that it was Yang who was leaning on a locker looking at him with a seductive smile. "Did…did you watch me change?" Gohan asked.

"No, well maybe half way I did." Gohan didn't how to respond. "And I gotta say Gohan, I liked every second of it." This earned her a slight blush from him.

Before the situation could get any embarrassing for Gohan Ruby appeared next to Yang. "Hey Gohan." She waved.

"Hey Ruby," He waved back. "You ready for the initiation?" He asked.

"Yup, gonna let Crescent Rose do all the talking from now on. No more getting to you know you talk." Gohan raised a brow at this. "But what if you're put into a team? A team that your sister might not be in with you." Ruby groaned knowing what Gohan was going to say next. "You're gonna have to meet new people and learn to work together with them." Ruby lightly banged her head on the locker.

"Told ya," Yang said. Gohan reached into his locker and pulled out his weapons. It was a pair of side handle batons. They were colored red and blue. "Is that your weapons?" Ruby asked with interest in her eyes.

"Yup, I called them Muffle and Ruffle."

"Muffle and Ruffle? How'd you come up with that?" Yang asked.

"I didn't, my sister did," Gohan responded.

"Your sister?" Before Gohan could go saying anything else, the speakers came on and Glynda's voice was heard telling every first-year students to start heading to the Beacon cliff. "Guess we should be going," Gohan said.

A few minutes later every first-year students were on a hill, each of them standing on a square plate form. Ozpin stepped up in front of the students. "For years you have trained to become warriors, and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."

After Ozpin finished Glynda continued on. "Now I'm sure many of you have heard rumors of the assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to those rumors. Each of you will be given teammates, today." Black's eyes widened a bit. "No one told me about begin in teams."

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it's in your best interest to be paired with someone to whom you can work with." Ruby looked a bit nervous and worried. "That being said the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for next 4 years." Black felt his eye twitch a bit at this new info. "I have to be partnered up with one these insects?!"

"What!?" Ruby whined.

"Looks like I'm not the only one who doesn't like this idea." Black thought. Gohan was also feeling a bit uncomfortable with the partner assignment but he was also excited about it.

"After you've partnered up make your way up to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path or you will die." The blonde guy next to Black nervously laughed which made him roll his eyes. "You will be monitored and graded for the duration of the initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return it to the top of the cliff. Any question." The blonde raised his hand but Ozpin ignored him. "Good, now take your position."

"Finally, I thought this guy would never shut up." Black thought while uncrossing his arms. "Yes, Ozpin does talk a lot." Black's eyes narrowed. "What do you want this time?"

"Just wanted to remind you to keep your powers to a minimum. Don't attract too much attention." And with that Salem cut off the link. Black looked to his left and saw students being launched forward.

Yang turned to Gohan and gave him a peace sign. "Good luck hots stuff." Gohan gave her a confused look before getting launched. She then turned to Ruby and gave her a wink before putting on a pair of sunglasses then getting launched. Ruby looked at Black and gave him a thumbs before getting launched as well.

Next, it was Black's turn. The plate under activated and launched him. As he was flying he saw some of the students performing different landing strategies. Ruby fired several sniper rounds to slow down her speed, the Schnee used her Gylphs to jump from one place to another. He heard shotgun rounds being fired past him, he saw Yang firing her Gauntlets to fly through the air. Black noticed that he was nearing the ground and slowed his speed a bit but not that much to be noticed. He grabbed a branch and flipped forward before landing on his feet and slid on the ground for bit before coming to a halt. Looking around he saw nothing but trees.

"Better go find my partner." Black headed to the direction of the nearest ki he could sense. After a few minute he found the person he sensed. "You got to be kidding me." In a tree branch, Alli was hanging by her foot. "B-Black you're here! Can you help?" She asked.

Black stared at her for a second before turning around and walked away. "Wa-Wait! Please come back! I'm scared of heights!" She cried out. Black stopped and looked at her with an expressionless look. He then remembered that Ozpin and Glynda would be monitoring them. Black sighed and rubbed his temples as he walked back to Alli.

Looking up he saw that her foot was caught between two branches. "How the hell did you even get stuck?" He asked.

"I don't know." She responded with a teary expression. Black was about to fire a small ki beam at the branch but then remembered what Salem told him. "Fine then, I'll just use this." He did a hand motion and his wrist bracer turned into its gun mode. Aiming his handgun at the branch he fired twice, the branch broke and freed Alli. She fell face first onto the ground.

"Well, now that were partners we should start heading to that temple." Alli picked herself up and dusted herself. "O-Okay."

In another part of the forest, Gohan was walking around trying to find his partner. "I know I told myself that I wouldn't use my ki sensing ability to find my partner but this is actually hard." He said to himself. As he was walking he heard some growls behind some bushes. "Grimm," Gohan's eyes narrowed and he readied Muffle and Ruffle. When he peeked over the bush he saw Lewis petting a tied up Beowolf. "Who's a good boy, yes you are," Lewis said with a smile. Gohan didn't know what to make of the situation before him. He was about to say something but another Beowolf ran at Lewis, ready to attack.

Gohan acted quickly and ran in front of the Beowolf and blocked the attack with the baton and spun the other one now the long part pointing out and slammed it down on the Beowolf's head. He used the other one and hit it on the right side of its head. Gohan then spun around and kicked the Grimm into a tree, killing it.

"Oooo, that was cool," Lewis said. Gohan smiled but his expression turned serious once again when he heard more growls. Turning around he saw more Beowolves. Gohan got into his fighting stance and Lewis stood next to him holding an ax-hammer. "Hey, more puppies to play with, yea!" Lewis giggled.

The grim charged at them. Gohan waited till they were close enough to attack. He sidestepped away one and pointed the long barrel of his baton on the Grimm's head and fired blowing its head off. He used his right baton to uppercut another and slammed his left baton on the Beowolf's midsection. He ducked under a claw and elbowed a Beowolf in the face before firing his baton, then jumped up and punched another one down to the ground. Gohan moved from one grim to another, each grim receiving a quick but strong attack.

Lewis happily swung and slammed his ax hammer at each Grimm that came close to him. He used the middle part of the handle stop a Beowolf that was trying to bite him. He spun the ax-hammer to the right flipping the Beowolf onto its back then kneed its throat. Lewis swung the hammer side of his weapon upwards knocking another Beowolf away. He then spun his weapon around cutting through two Grimm. He flipped backwards avoiding a Grimm who tried to pounce on him.

Lewis switched to his gun mode and pointed the end of the handle at the Grimm and fired his double barrel shotgun. He quickly reloaded and fired a couple more Beowolves before switching back to melee mode and cut through the group of Grimm in front of him. As Gohan and Lewis continued to cut through the group decreasing their numbers down.

Gohan flipped backwards and kicked the chin of an alpha Beowolf knocking it back. Lewis jumped over Gohan and brought the hammer side downwards, the white plating of the Alpha's head cracked. The body of the Alpha laid on the ground motionless. "Whew, that was fun!" Lewis said.

"Yea, it's been awhile since I fought that many Grimm," Gohan said. The Saiyan hybrid looked around. "I think we should start heading to the temple, let's go." Lewis stood straight up and gave a saluting pose. "Aye aye captain!" Gohan smiled at Lewis goofiness.

On Beacon Hill Ozpin and Glynda were monitoring the students. "Our last pair has been formed sir, Nora Valkyrie, and Lie Ren. Not sure which partnership is worse, theirs or Gohan and Lewis." Ozpin looked at her. "Lewis, isn't he the son of a close friend of yours?"

Glynda looked away with a slightly annoyed expression. "Yes, I'm in charge of looking after him when he needs it until she comes back." Ozpin lightly chuckled.

"But back to the pairs, they're better off than miss Nikos. I don't care what his transcript says that Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat." She shut off her scroll and walked away. "At their current pace they should reach the temple in just a few minutes. Speaking of which, what did you use as relics this year?" She asked but received no answer. Ozpin kept his eyes on his scroll which was monitoring Ruby and Weiss.

Back with Black and Alli, they've been walking for seemed like hours. "What was that?!" Alli asked when she heard a snap. "It's just a twig." He answered.

She felt something her foot. "And that?"

"It's just a rock." Black was about to knock out this girl and just carry her the rest of the way if she keeps freaking about everything. "This is strange, we've been walking for nearly ten minutes and we haven't encountered any Grimm. Wonder if Salem is behind this." As he walked forward Alli stopped and sniffed the air. "What is it?"

Alli sniffed a couple more times. "I smell…fire." Black sniffed the air as well. Indeed there was a fire somewhere in the forest, probably caused by one the students. "Let's keep moving, we shouldn't be far from the temple." Black picked up the pace and Alli followed.

"I'm sooooo bored," Lewis whined. Gohan ignored him and kept walking. "I wish one of those little doggies would come out and play again." Gohan was about to say something but heard someone talking up ahead. As they walked through some bushes they saw that it was Yang and another girl. "Yang?"

Turning around to face Gohan she waved. "Gohan, hey, what took you so long?" She asked.

"Well, we kind of had some encounters with the Grimm along the way." Yang lightly punched him on the shoulder. "Lucky you," Gohan noticed the other girl walk up to them. "Oh, Gohan this is Blake, my new partner." Gohan held out his hand. "Hi Blake it's nice to meet you." Blake took his hand and shook it. "Likewise." Lewis then hopped on Gohan's back starling the girls. "Hey you found friends!"

Blake looked at Gohan with a confused look. "Ah this is my partner Le-."

"Wait I can do it," Lewis hopped off and stood up straight and saluted in front of the girls. "My name is Lewis Lane the third!" He said with a cheery smile.

"He's lively," Gohan said scratching the back of his head. "Yea I can see that," Yang said, but none of the less smiled at Lewis's happy attitude.

All of a sudden a girly scream was heard making them all tense up. "Some girl's in trouble!" Yang said.

"I don't think that was a girl," Gohan stated.

"What should we do?" Yang looked towards Blake to see her pointing upwards. Looking up they saw Ruby falling from the sky. "HEADS UUUUUUP!" Ruby yelled, but before should could the hit the ground someone crashed into her and they both ended up crashing into a tree. "Ouch, that's gotta hurt," Gohan said.

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

"I-."

Falling trees were heard up ahead and an Ursa emerged from the forest, it was being ridden on by a girl with orange hair, she then shot the Ursa killing it. "Aw it's broken." The orange haired girl looked at the dead Ursa. Behind the dead Ursa the same long hair guy Gohan saw from the locker room came running to her. "Nora, please, don't ever do that again." The guy looked up to his partner only to see that she was gone.

Nora was looking at one the chess pieces. "Oooo," She picked up and started singing. "I'm queen of the castle, I'm queen of the castle~"

"Nora!" The girl stopped and giggled. "Coming Ren!" Then skipped back to her partner.

"Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?" Gohan asked.

"Aw, how come we didn't get to ride one?" Lewis asked.

"I-."Yang tried to respond but yet again was interrupted by another scene. From within the forest a bright red haired girl came running out while being chased by a Death Stalker, Ruby landed next to Yang. "Ruby!"

"Yang!" They were about to hug each other but the orange haired girl popped between them. "Nora!" Everyone else just watched as the red hair girl ran away from the Death Stalker. "Did that girl just run all the way here with a Deathstalker on her tail?" Blake asked.

Yang shook with anger and then exploded. "I can't take it anymore! Can everyone just chill out for one second before something crazy happens again!"

Ruby tapped her shoulder and pointed at the sky. Up in the sky Weiss was hanging onto the claw of a Nevermore. "How could you leave me!?"

"I said jump," Ruby said.

"She's going to going fall."

"She'll be fine."

"She's falling." Gohan decided to make his move and ran towards Weiss. He jumped to a height that surprised the other teens. He reached over and caught her bridal style, then slightly slowed down his decent a bit before landing and rolling forward. He stood straight up and stared at the flying Nevermore. "A Nevermore, haven't seen one of those for a while." Someone clearing their throat brought Gohan back to reality. "You can put me down now." The white hair girl said, with a light blush on her cheeks.

Gohan blinked a couple times before he realized that he was still holding her. "Ah, I'm sorry!" Gohan put the girl down and back up a bit.

"It's alright, thanks for saving me back there." She said. Gohan flashed his father's famous grin. "No problem." Back with the group they saw the red hair girl still getting chased by the Death Stalker before it knocked her towards them, she landed on her side in front of them. "Great the gang's all here, now we can all die together." Yang sarcastically said.

"Not if I can help it." Ruby pulled out her Crescent Rose and ran at the Death Stalker. "Ruby wait!" Yang shouted. Ruby went in for the attack but before she could land a hit she was knocked back the Death Stalker's claw. Ruby picked herself up. "Don't- Don't worry, totally fine!" She shouted back.

Turning back to the Death Stalker Ruby realized she was no match for a Death Stalker, so she fired a couple rounds to push herself back and then retreated with Death Stalker still chasing her. "Ruby!" Yang ran to help her sister.

As Ruby ran away the Nevermore in the sky shot out its feathers at her. One of the feathers got caught on Ruby's cape and the rest stopped Yang from advancing. "Ruby get out of there!"

"I'm trying!" She pulled harder on her cape but it wouldn't free itself from the feather. The Death Stalker crept up behind her, Ruby shielded herself with her arms. It raised its stinger and then brought it down. "Ruby!"

Two blurs made their way to her. Ruby heard something being encased in ice. "You are so childish," Ruby looked up to see a person in white clothes. "Weiss?"

"And dimwitted and hyperactive and don't get me started on your fighting style." Ruby looked slightly down. "And I suppose I can be a bit…difficult, but if we're going to this, then we're going to have to do this together. So if you quit trying to show off I'll be… nicer." Weiss said.

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

"You're fine." Ruby looked down and smiled. "Are you two done bonding?" a voice said. Looking to their right they saw Black standing there with his hand encased in the ice that Weiss summoned on the Death Stalker's stinger. "Black?"

"Wait, what? When did you get there?!" Weiss asked surprised that she didn't see him when she stopped the Death Stalker. "A second later before you came and decide to ice my hand." They looked at Black's left hand and it indeed was stuck inside. "Why did you put your hand in there in the first place?!"

Black narrowed his eyes at the Schnee. "To stop it from killing her," Black looked at Ruby. "Wait, he stopped it with his bare hand?" Ruby thought.

Weiss sighed and walked towards him. "Alright, I got you."

"Tch," Black effortlessly pulled his hand free from the ice, surprising the two girls. He walked past Ruby and with his left hand he grabbed the feather that was still caught on her cape and pulled it out from the ground with ease and stabbed it back on to the ground to his right. He walked away from the two and headed towards Gohan. "Black, glad you could make it," Gohan said.

Black stared at Gohan. "Wasn't hard to find you all with the amount of noise you guys make." Gohan then noticed something. "You don't have a partner?"

"No, I do, she's just slow." To the group's left Alli emerged from the forest heavily panting. "I thought I told you to keep up." Black scold. Alli fell to her hands and knees and took deep breathes. "B-But with how… f-fast you ran ahead I… just c-couldn't." She responded between breathes.

Black sighed and looked at the group before him. "I guess this is everyone." Everyone nodded. Lewis popped in front of him surprising Black a bit. "Hi my names Lewis, what's yours!?"

"…Black." Lewis cocked his head the side. "Black, why'd you name yourself after a color?" He asked.

"W-What?" Black didn't know how to respond to the random question. Thankfully he didn't need to since a screech was heard. Looking up they all saw the Nevermore coming back. "Guys that thing's circling back, what are we going to do?" Jaune announced.

"Look there's no point in dillydallying, our objective is right here," Weiss said.

"She's right, our mission is to grab an artifact and make it back to the cliffs. There's no point in fighting these things." Ruby explained.

"Run and live, that is an idea I can get behind," Jaune said. Both Jaune and Ruby picked their pieces up. Black stared at the remaining piece, a pawn. "You're just a pawn for her to use, just like the rest of us." The words that Adam once told him a couple of months ago made him clench his fist in anger. "Black you alright?" Ruby asked. He looked beside him to see Ruby looking at him. He grabbed the piece and walked away. "I'm fine."

Ruby looked back at the group. "Alright, let's go." Everyone followed her. The scene made Yang smile. "She's growing up."

Blake stopped when she saw Yang still standing. "What is it?"

"Oh nothing." They continued off. As they all ran howls and growls were heard behind them. "Grimm!" Ren shouted.

"What more of them!?" Weiss shouted. Black looked back and indeed there were more, maybe a small horde. "Salem," Black looked back at everyone else. "With how fast we're running those Grimm are bound to catch up."

"Tch," Black came to halt. Gohan saw this and stopped as well. "Black what're you doing?!"

"With the current pace you all are going those Grimm are going to end up catching up to us," Black stated.

"Wait what are trying to say?" Pyrrha ask.

Black looked at the group then to Alli. "You better prove your worth to me."

"My partner and I are going to hold them off while the rest of you head to the hill." This shocked the group. Alli felt the color drain from her body. "W-We are?"

"Yes we are," Black answered.

"Are you insane, you both can't take on that many Grimm by yourselves!" Weiss shouted.

Jaune noticed the small horde closing in. "Guys they're getting closer!"

"Black, Weiss is right, you both can't take on that many Grimm!" Ruby prepared her scythe.

"You all had your chance at fighting them, I didn't this whole time," Black took a few steps forward. "We'll catch up as soon as we're done." With that said Black's wrist blades came out. "Besides, I'm not only doing this to help you all." Black quietly said. He walked forward and quickened his pace till he was running at the Grimm.

"Salem watch as I kill more of your pathetic children." Black smirked. He ran up to an Alpha which it responded by trying to slash at him. Black jumped over the Alpha and used his left hand to push himself forward off the Alpha's back and drop kick a Beowolf that was behind the Alpha. As he was riding the downed Beowolf like a skateboard he twisted his body to his left and slashed upwards cutting another Beowolf in half, he quickly spun left to kick another Beowolf that was closing in before elbowing another behind him.

He then kicked off from the downed Beowolf and kneed an Ursa in the face and then rolled forward before swiping two other Grimm off their feet and stabbing his wrist blade into one and grabbed the other by the throat and spun around before letting them go crashing into the other Grimm.

An Ursa tried biting him but Black plunged his wrist blades through its head. He quickly pulled them out and dodged an attack from another Grimm.

Black skidded backwards a bit before he charged forward delivering a serious of kicks, punches, slashes and stabs to any Grimm that were unfortunate in getting in his way. The group of teens were shocked to see the amount of skill Black displayed. "Maybe he does have this handled," Jaune said.

"W-We got this. You guys just go." Alli said. Ruby and the others looked at each other and nodded before heading towards the hill. Gohan looked back at where Black was fighting the Grimm. "…Dad."

"Aw man, w-why do I always get p-put into scary situations?" Alli asked herself. She sensed danger and barely dodged a slash from an Alpha. She moved to the side and pulled out her two pickaxes and plunged one of them in the back of the Alpha's head, killing it. Alli pulled her weapon out from the dead Alpha and looked towards the small horde. "I think I'm way over my head in coming to this school." Some Beowolves charged at her, one tried to claw at her but Alli stabbed her right pickaxe on its arm and guided it away from her. The other Beowolves went in for the attack. Thinking fast she twisted her body to face them and slashed the closest one's head off.

She moved left and right dodging other attacks while delivering some of her own. She ran towards Black cutting down any Grimm in her path. She slid under and Ursa and hooked its legs with her pickaxes and pulled forward, cutting its legs off. She switched her pickaxes into their gun mode, now holding two crossbows she fired Dust arrows at the Grimm surrounding her. She hopped on a Major Ursa and jumped off of it and fired her crossbow rounds at the Grimm below her.

Alli landed behind Black, now back to back the Grimm surrounded them. "Umm B-Black do you have a p-plan?" She nervously asked. All she got was smirk from him and then he charged at the Grimm again.

Back with Ruby and the others they made their way towards some ruins. "Guy's look, there's the hill!" Ruby shouted. Gohan sensed danger and twisted his body to the right and dodged an Ursa trying to claw at him. A tail then whipped him from the side, knocking Gohan back. Quickly getting up he saw that it was the same Death Stalker from the Temple.

"Gohan!" Yang shouted.

"I'm fine, you guys go on ahead." The other hesitated in leaving their friend behind but complied. Gohan readied himself to take on the Death Stalker but to his confusion, it ignored him and went after the others.

"Oh no you don't!" Gohan ran after the Death Stalker but didn't make it far since the Ursa blocked his path. He leaped forward and punched the Ursa, killing it instantly. He was about to go on ahead but stopped when he heard more howls and growls. Looking behind him he saw more Grimm heading towards him.

He heard something loud behind him, turning around he saw that the Nevermore broke the bridge separating Ruby, Weiss, Yang and Blake from the others. He noticed Death Stalker taking on Pyrrha, Jaune, Ren, Lewis and Nora, while the Nevermore took on the girls. "Did they plan this?" Gohan thought, he was going to have to look into it later, for now, he needed to stop these Grimm from advancing forward. Looking back to the incoming Grimm he readied himself.

When they reached him, he ducked under the first one, then used his baton to hit the Beowolf on its side. He caught the second one by the wrist and kicked it in the chin. He jumped back when the others tried to attack him.

Pyrrha saw Gohan fighting off the many Grimm behind the Death Stalker. "Lewis, Gohan needs your help." Lewis looked past the Death Stalker and then smiled. "Okiee dokiee!" He fired his double barrel towards the ground launching him upwards, over the Death Stalker. He landed and rolled forward and ran at the Grimm, he then frog jumped over Gohan's head and slammed the hammer part onto the back of an Ursa, he then began to spin around with his ax hammer cutting through the Grimm around him. After 30 seconds of spinning around Lewis slowed down till he came to a stop, he swayed back and for forth with swirls in his eyes. "Ughhhh dizzy."

As Gohan fought off an Alpha and a couple of other Beowolves he saw two Majors creeping behind Lewis. "Lewis behind you!"

Lewis shook his head and regained his senses. Looking behind he saw the two Ursa's claw at him. Using his weapon he blocked the attacks but was pushed back, he skidded on his back before coming to a halt. "Ouch that hurt." The two Ursa's made their way towards him.

"Lewis!" Gohan tried to make his way towards him, but the Grimm stopped him from doing. He saw that the Ursa closed in on him. "No, I can't hold back anymore. I'm sorry dad." Before he could make his move he saw something in the sky heading towards Lewis. "Is that?"

In the sky, a King Taijitu was falling, heading straight towards Lewis. On top of the King Taijitu Alli was holding onto her dear life. "Incoooming!" She yelled. The Taijitu crashed into Lewis and the two Ursas. "Well, that happened." Gohan thought he leaned back, avoiding being slashed and then elbowed the Beowolf down.

Ruby and the others saw the flying King Taijitu. "Was she riding on a falling Taijitu?" Weiss asked. Yang groaned and facepalmed. "I don't even know anymore." A screech was heard and they prepared them for another attack from the Nevermore.

The dust from crash settled, Lewis had half of his body underground with only his bottom half out and his leg slightly twitching. "Uuugghh, My head." Alli held her head as she tried to massage the bruise. Unknown to her the King Taijitu got back up and slithered its way to her. It opened its mouth and went for the strike, all of a sudden the King Taijitu was knocked a good 50 yards away. Alli opened her eyes and saw Gohan next to her. "You alright?" He asked.

"Y-Yea, I'm okay." She looked back to the spot where she saw Gohan standing just a few seconds ago, and then looked at where the Taijitu was punched away. "How'd he get here so fast and how did he punch it so far?"

Lewis pulled himself out the ground and shook the dirt off of himself. "Hey, what'd I miss?"

"Nothing, but looks like we have more Grimm to fight," Gohan said, his eyes narrowing at the Grimm that made their way towards them. He was about to go and attack but heard more crashes from within the forest. A couple Beowolves were thrown out the forest. Then Black came flying out with a couple of Grimm on him and biting him.

Black powered up a bit, knocking the Grimm off of him, he grabbed a Beowolf and punched its head clean off. He then grabbed an Ursa by the face and dragged it on the ground before throwing the Ursa at two other Beowolves. He then kicked one Beowolf to his left and punched another to his right.

Black changed his wrist bracer into its gun mode and fired some rounds at the Grimm in front of him. An Alpha tried biting him but Black just sidestepped away and put it in a chokehold before aiming his gun at the Alpha's skull and firing.

"Black you made it." Gohan walked up to him along with Lewis and Alli. "Hpmh," He looked at Alli, "I thought I told you to let go."

"B-But you didn't give me enough time." Alli retorted. Black rolled his eyes and looked up when he saw the Nevermore screech in pain. Yang was holding the Nevermore's mouth open and firing her shotgun rounds in its mouth.

He then turned back to look at the Grimm before them. "We gotta keep them away from the others," Gohan said. Black looked at Lewis and Alli then back at the Grimm. Gohan noticed that Black was planning something. "You got a plan?"

Black nodded, "You and I will be the ones fighting the Grimm while you two stay here, pick off any Grimm that get by us."

"Aye aye captain!" Lewis saluted and switched to his gun mode. Alli did the same, now holding her dual wielding crossbows. Black and Gohan stepped forward and got into their fighting stance. "You better not hold me back," Black said.

Gohan smirked, "Don't worry about me." Gohan fired his weapons at the ground and like a bullet the two dashed forward and punched an Ursa Major making it crash into a couple of trees, Black darted right and Gohan darted left. They punched and kicked one Grimm after another, Gohan used his batons to knock away a couple of Beowolves while Black switched between his wrist blade and its gun mode.

Alli fired her duel crossbow rounds at charging Beowolves and Lewis fired his double barrel as well. Black grabbed a Beowolf by the head and leg and ripped it in half and then threw both half's at other Boewolves. Gohan blocked an attack of an Ursa then knocked it down with Ruffle, then used Muffle to fire into the Ursa's back. He then aimed at two Beowolves and fired his batons killing them.

Black cut off the arm of an Ursa and used it to hit the Ursa in the face. He then switched to pistol and emptied his rounds at three other Grimm. He was then knocked to the side by another Death Stalker. "Oh you all just keep on coming huh?" Black grinned and charged forward he blocked a swiped from the Death Stalker's claw then he grabbed it and ripped it off. The Death Stalker backed away as it screeched in pain. Black used the ripped claw as a baseball bat and hit the Grimm nearby with it.

Alli pushed forward along with Lewis since the Grimms numbers started to go down. "This is fun," Lewis said.

Black jumped and landed on a Major's back, breaking it. He grabbed it by the head then fired his pistol in its head. He heard the Nevermore screech, looking back by the hill he saw that Ruby looked to be on some kind of slingshot.

"Of course you would come up with this," Weiss said.

"You think you can make the shot?" Ruby asked.

"Hmph, can I?"

Ruby looked unsure. "Can yo-."

"Of course I can!" Weiss then used her Glyph to launch Ruby at the Nevermore. Firing her sniper rounds Ruby got closer and closer till she hooked the Nevermore by the neck with her Scythe. When her feet landed on the wall, Weiss used her Glyphs to help Ruby run up the hill while dragging the Nevermore. She used her semblance to increase her speed and fired her sniper rounds to give that extra boost of speed. When she reached the top of the hill Ruby sliced the Nevermore's head clean off.

"Impressive," Black thought, he sensed a Beowolf creeping up on him which he just kicked away. He grabbed another by the throat and slammed it into the ground. "Guess I should end this as well." He curved to the side, dodging the stinger of the Death Stalker. "Oh poor you," With a smirk Black grabbed the Death Stalker by the tail and began spinning it around. Many of the Grimm were knocked into the forest while others were crushed by the force of the impact.

"Whoa," Ruby said, amazed at how Black was able to swing the Death Stalker around.

"How is that possible?!" Weiss said.

"I guess they didn't need our help after all," Jaune said.

Black spun the Death Stalker a couple more times just to make sure he got all the Grimm, he then lifted it up and slammed it onto the ground. With its belly now exposed Gohan used this opportunity to stab Ruffle into its belly and fire his Dust rounds into it. The Death Stalker screeched in pain before it laid motionless.

Black heard a hiss behind him and saw the King Taijitu strike at him, "Black!" Gohan shouted.

With a smirk, Black bolted into the King Taijitu's mouth shocking everyone. He then ripped through the other end of the giant snake and skidded on the floor before coming to a halt. Looking behind him he saw the dead snake and sheathed his wrist blades, he noticed the shocked expression of everyone. "What?"

Russel Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing, and Sky Lark. The four of you retrieved the black Bishop pieces, from this day forward you will work together as Team CRDL, led by Carin Winchester." Ozpin announced.

"Jaune Arc, Lei Rein, Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white Rook pieces, from this day forward you will work together as Team JNPR, led by Jaune Arc."

Jaune gained a surprised look. "Huh, l-led by?"

"Congratulations young man," Pyrrha playful punched Jaune in the shoulder but Jaune wasn't prepared for it, so he fell on his bottom. Pyrrha gave him a sorry look.

"Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Yang Xiao Long. The four of you retrieved the white Knight pieces, from this day forward you will work as Team RWBY, led by Ruby Rose." Weiss looked slightly shocked at the announcement.

Ruby was surprised by the position she was given. "I'm so proud of you!" Yang tightly hugged her sister much to her dismay.

"Now finally, Lewis Lane, Son Black, Alli Banks, and Gohan Polendina."

"Wait, Banks?! Isn't that the last name of the woman me and Adam encountered last year, she's her daughter!" Black thought while looking at Alli from the corner of his eye. "Great yet another person I need to keep an eye on."

"The four of you retrieved the white Pawn pieces, from this day forward you will be known as Team BAGL (Bagel), led by Son Black." The announcement surprised Black. "…Huh?" Black stood there in disbelief. Gohan patted him on the back. "Cool, your team leader." Black stared at him then turned his attention to the audience around the room. Team JNPR and RWBY cheering were for him. "Me, team leader…" Black still could not believe what he was hearing. Out of the four of them, he was chosen to be leader! "Gohan would've been more suited for being a leader. The hell do I know about being a leader." Black glared at the ground then looked back up, his eyes landed on Ruby who gave him a smile and a thumbs up.

He sighed and looked up at the ceiling window. "Great, whelp, nothing I can do now but bare through this," Now he just hope none of this mortals will get on his nerves.
