Down on the ground in the Abandoned Temple, Blake Belladonna is still staring skyward and pointing for Yang Xiao Long to look up after she had heard something from above.

Yang turned to her partner, "Blake, did you hear that? What should we do?"

Ruby is seen falling right towards them, finally getting Yang's attention, "Heads uuuuuuuup!"

Just as she's about to hit the ground panicking, Jaune comes flying through the air and crashes into Ruby, knocking her off course and sending them both into a tree to the left of where Blake and Yang are standing. Ruby is dazed by the rough landing with imaginary stars circling around her head.

"Oohhhh... What was that?" The dizziness passes when she shakes her head.

"Eh-hem!" Ruby looks up to see Jaune hanging upside-down in a tree branch above her, "Hey, Ruby…"

Back on the ground, Blake is looking at the tree asking Yang, "Did your sister just fall from the sky?"

Before Yang could even answer, several crashing noises are heard in the forest ahead of them, and an Ursa comes out, claws swiping, just as a pink blast of energy hits it in the back and it crashes to the ground, depositing its rider.

"YEEEE-HAAAAW!" A girl with auburn hair and turquoise eyes wearing a series of pink and white clothing rolls of the creature's back, then gets up and groans, saddened "Awwww... It's broken." She dashes onto its neck and observes the carcass as a boy with black hair and magenta eyes with a magenta streak in his hair comes up behind her.

He pants and leans on the monster, "Nora! Please... Don't ever do that again." He looks up again and notices by the pink dotted outline of where his partner should be that this Nora girl has run off again, and looks around frantically.

Now in the Temple, Nora stares at a golden rook relic, "Oooohh…" She suddenly grabs it as she starts to dance and sing with the chess piece, "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!"

Ren screams for her, "Nora!"

Nora stops dancing with the rook on her head, then salutes, dropping the relic into her hand, "Coming, Ren!" She then skips off to her friend.

Blake points in their direction asking Yang again, "Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?

She can't speak again as a screech is heard from their right, and Pyrrha 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!" Pyrrha screams after her partner.

"Pyrrha!" Jaune hears her.

Ruby stands up, looking at the monster below, Whoa!" She starts running off of the branch and landing in a roll.

"Ruby!" Jaune whines.

Yang calls for her sister as Ruby stands up, back on the ground, "Ruby!"

Ruby looked excited to see her, "Yang!" Raises her arms as if to give her sister a hug.

"Nora!" The energetic girl comes between the two and knocking them off-balance in surprise.

The scorpion Grimm continues to follow Pyrrha as she runs.

"Did she just run all the way here with a Death Stalker on her tail?" Blake questions again.

Ruby and Nora backs up as Yang gets angrier until she growls and erupts in a small burst of fire, eyes flashing red, "I can't take it anymore! Can everyone just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again?!"

Yang starts to cool down as Ren running over to a ditzy Nora, and Blake and Ruby looking up.

"Umm... Yang?" Ruby tugs on her sister's sleeve and points up.

Up above, Weiss is revealed to be hanging on a talon the size of her entire body that belongs to a gigantic Nevermore.

Weiss is calling down to Ruby, "How could you leave me?!"

Ruby shouts up at Weiss, "I said "jump"!"

"She's gonna fall." Blake states bluntly.

"She'll be fine." Ruby waves it off.

"She's falling." Ren says when Weiss loses her grip.

Jaune is finally out of the tree, panting until he looks up and grins at the sight of Weiss falling through the air, giving him the opportunity to jump off the branch with arms outstretched and catch her as time seemed to slow down.

Jaune smiles at Weiss, "Just... dropping in?"

Weiss is speechless... and Jaune realizes why when they both look down.

"Oh, God." They hang on to each other wide-eyed as their moment of suspension ends, their weapons flying behind them, "Oh, noooooooo- Oomph!"

Jaune does a faceplant into the dirt, limbs splayed out, and serves as the perfect landing spot for Weiss as she falls into a seated position on his body.

Weiss says mockingly, "My hero."

"My back…oww..." Jaune groans in pain.

The Death Stalker is still hunting Pyrrha, but she manages to land on her side at the feet of the heroes.

"Great! The gang's all here! Now we can die together!" Yang says "happily" while throwing her arms up.

"Not if I can help it!" Ruby sounds a battle cry and rushes towards the Grimm.

Yang reaches for her sister, "Ruby, wait!"

Ruby, still screaming, fires Crescent Rose and charges at the oncoming Death Stalker. When the two meet, the Grimm swipes Ruby away and she is knocked back.

Ruby gets up slowly, "D-Do-Don't worry! Totally fine!"

Ruby turns back to the monster and shoots it in the skull, running away from it and sheathing her scythe as the Death Stalker now goes after her.

Yang starts running forward, "Ruby!"

Ruby rushes towards Yang, but the Nevermore caws above them, flapping its wings and releasing lines of sharpened feathers with points that catch on Ruby's cape and prevent Yang from reaching her.

"Ruby, get out of there!"

Ruby struggles with the cloak, "I'm trying!"

The Death Stalker approaches, raising its golden stinger above a scared Ruby and heading down on the helpless girl.

Yang is reaching out in vain, "Ruby!"

"Pika-CHUUU!" A powerful streak of thunder comes flying from the clouds and striked the scorpion clean of its stinger. The appendage falls and hits its skull and goes through the bone armor and immediately kills it. Ruby looks on in awe and smiles, knowing who just saved her.

'Thank you so much, Pikachu!'

"Looks like someone is looking after you." Ruby turns to see Yang smiling a huge one of relief while taking the stinger out of her cape in the ground. Ruby hugs her sister immediately after she was freed, Yang happily returning it.

After that just transpired, more hordes of Beowolf and Ursai Grimm comes flying from the trees in front of the group.

"More are coming!" Jaune says in fear while pointing.

"Don't worry you guys. I want you to officially meet the one who's been with me throughout this entire Beacon ride." Ruby says proudly.

The group didn't understand besides Yang until a Beowolf landed by their feet, completely fried and messed up.

"Pi-ka!" Pikachu enters the scene with sparks flying off his cheeks and body while narrowing his eyes and smiling. Three more shakes of the bushes were visible until Snorunt, Purrloin, and Chimchar entered and stood by Pikachu.

"Woah…" Ruby widened her eyes in disbelief. She's never seen those before. Are they the same like Pikachu? It seems they already know each other by the looks of it.

Yang stuttered while specifically looking at the small chimp, the rest of the group looked on in awe, wonder and fascination. Jaune rubbed his eyes, not believing them for a second, Weiss couldn't take the cuteness much longer as she put her hands against her cheeks, squealing at the cute triangular Pokémon, Blake couldn't understand what was happening, especially when she saw the purple feline one standing on its hind legs. Pyrrha, Nora, and Ren all looked on, confusion and pure curiosity written all over their faces. What are these animals supposed to be?

The four Pokémon stood side by side while charging some PokéPower. The horde of Grimm sent a few Beowolves and Ursai together with their claws at the ready.

"Chu-pi!" Pikachu manifested a steel tail and whipped it around in a circle that cracked a few armor off of them. Snorunt ran and jumped while unleashing a chilling gust of powdery snow at three wolves, the snow actually managing to encase them in a block of ice, freezing them whole.

Ruby and Weiss breathed a sigh of amazement and excitement as they saw the two work together as a team. Weiss was very impressed and infatuated with the Snow Hat Pokémon and its power. Something tells her that it still has a long way to go still and become much more powerful.

"Chim-CHAR!" The Chimp Pokémon rolled into a flaming wheel of fire and plowed through the ice-encased Grimm, melting the ice along with slamming the wolves and ursai into the ground. The fire created an explosion, pushing the rest of the Grimm back and breaking every single piece of armor off of the Grimm, rendering them defenseless and wide open.

Yang grew starry-eyed upon seeing the fire starter's moved and fell in love with him the minute he created that fiery explosion. It was like they were meant for each other. But not in that way.

"Purr!" Purrloin scurried across the field and zigzagged to fake them out which worked. She was at a complete advantage due to her agility, dodging lunges and claw swipes left and right. She meowed loudly, calling for assistance. Pikachu grew a lightning ball at the tip of his tail, Snorunt grew copies of itself while summoning the snowy powder again, Chimchar made a "come on" motion with his hand taunting the Grimm, and Purrloin grew long claws and went on all fours.

Blake rose an eyebrow at the little assist call Purrloin did but soon grinned a little at how its claws grew long and glowed a blinding white light. The four ran while unleashing their respective moves. Pikachu jumped and front flipped in the air to throw the electric ball and strongly destroyed a few more Ursai, Snorunt did her best to put a lot of power into her move. The powdery snow didn't freeze them this time, but it did slow them down in its movements while dealing a tiny bit of damage all the same. Chimchar, after taunting the abominations, took a sharp inhale of air and blew small flames from his mouth. The little balls of fire peppered the Grimm all around their bodies and left tiny burn marks where they hit, indicating that they have been burned by the fire attack Chimchar produced. Purrloin was up next as she ran across the field pretty quickly with vigor and went to swipe at the air once she got close to them, the attacks leaving a streak of white light every time making it hard to see where they landed. Once she stopped, the lights stood there for a second until it left and revealed red claw marks everywhere on their black bodies then blood soon squirted out from the holes. They howled in pain, Purrloin making sure to step back and went back to her friends.

The wolf and bear Grimm withered under the pain of the attacks, some howling and roaring in denial that they were defeated and try to get back up to fight, but the damage had already settled in as their bodies wilted and dissolved into nothingness. The four Pokémon breathed heavily and smiled at their hard work.

Ruby and co. could not believe what they have just seen right there. Pikachu–and three others that they haven't seen this far–took out a horde of Grimm all on their own without any sort of help, like an extra person or a weapon. Ruby was the first to run towards the four and scooped up Pikachu from the ground and cried, "Pikachuuuuuu! I was so scared you left me! I thought you didn't like me anymore! Hey, who are these guys?" Her mood took a complete 180 from sad to curious in an instant.

"Pika-chu-pi-pika!" Pikachu pointed to each one of them. By then, Weiss, Blake, and Yang joined Ruby and the four Pokémon near the Abandoned Temple. Snorunt waddled up to the red reaper and jumped up while smiling "Snorunt!" She greeted. Weiss cooed and knelt down to greet back the Snow Hat Pokémon, Snorunt smiling while the heiress cuddled with it.

"Chimchar!" The Chimp Pokémon greeted next. Yang grinned widely at him and knelt down on one knee and went for a fist bump, Chimchar surprisingly knowing what to do and returned it happily. Blake stood their with her arms crossed, not caring. That was until a paw soon laid against her leg as she look down to see Purrloin smiling up at her with her eyes closed. Blake was sweating and closing her eyes to steel herself from the cuteness. Eventually, she conceded and hesitantly picked her up, Purrloin purring happily and rubbed her head against Blake's shoulder. Blake couldn't hold it in much longer and grinned a little at the Devious Pokémon. Purrloin smiled again with so much joy, "Purrloin!"

Jaune and the rest saw the scene and smiled nervously or grinned happily at the cute scene. Even Ren had the decency to smile at a time like this, even if they were in the dreaded Emerald Forest. Speaking of…

"CAW!!!"

The twelve had looked up from their little friendship session and witnessed the Nevermore from before still circling above them. They had forgotten it was there when Pikachu and his friends made a grand entrance to the show. The avian Grimm did a somersault while diving in for a last resort. Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang flinched while holding their respective friend and tried running away, but just as their day couldn't get any better.

The Nevermore stopped in its tracks in the air in fear. The group couldn't have known why it stopped so abruptly like it did just now. The twelve on the ground then saw a blue speck coming from behind it in the air. As it got closer, they could make out what was a great, brilliant, mystical fire of an intensity that was so great, they felt their auras being pierced just by seeing it. They felt their skin begin to burn and turn black, but it was just an illusion. Their faces were completely dumbfounded at the weird event just then.

The Nevermore was being razed by the mystical blue fire. The fire danced around its giant frame dangerously and very epically. The great blue ball of hot fire did not let up in its destruction as it burned a third of the trees and all of the green grass inside Emerald Forest. Ruby and her friends wisely running from the area in favor of not being cooked alive.

They heard explosions and the great destruction that fire is known for while they were running for their lives.

"What in the ever loving hell was that?!" Jaune yelled, terribly scarred for life at what it just witnessed. That terrible and bloody image of the Nevermore in the sky will not leave his mind for as long as he lives. The same could be said for the rest of them.

"I don't know, but whatever it is... say a prayer for Remnant…" Blake said ominously, Purrloin somehow finding that funny. Chimchar, in Yang's arms, gave her a deadpanned stare at her behavior.

"AAAHHH!" Ruby suddenly yelled, stopping everyone in their tracks.

"What's wrong?!" Yang said, fearing for her health.

"I just remembered! The relics…!"

And their whole world came crashing down. They all comically fell to the floor, exhausted and scared for their place in Beacon.

"Pi-ka!" Pikachu said happily, pulling from somewhere on his person eight chess pieces, four gold knights and four gold rooks.

"Haaaa...thank you so much, Pikachu!" Ruby lifted him up and kissed him on the cheek, happy they are saved. Jaune hurriedly went to pick up a gold rook while Ruby picked a gold knight. Pyrrha, Ren and Nora picked the last three rooks, leaving Weiss, Blake and Yang with the last three knights.

"Let's head back to the cliff!" Weiss ordered, the rest agreeing heavily. Ruby lead the group back through the forest. Yang and Blake running side by side with the rest behind them.

Jaune looked up accidentally and stopped again, making incoherent noises while shakily pointing in the sky, "Ah...uh...W-Wha-..."

"What's the matter now?" Weiss asked, wanting to get this over with it. She looked to where he's pointing, the rest doing the same. Ruby, Yang and Nora gaping at the scene, Weiss stuttering nonsense, Blake with widened and blank eyes, and Pyrrha and Ren covering their mouths in shock.

Behind the clouds, it could still be visibly perceived. An avian creature resembling a phoenix and a peacock appears from behind the sky. Its feathers are predominantly gold and red, with yellow tail-feathers, a white underside, and green feathers at the tip of its wings. It seems to have a green stripe on its neck, a yellow beak, black rings around its red eyes, and a feathered, yellow crest on its head. It's wings are prismatic, causing it to trail a rainbow behind it. It has darkly colored feet and legs with four toes and long talons.

Ruby awed at the rainbow, utterly speechless. Yang couldn't contain the excitement in her chest and hugged her sister, Weiss stared at it with glistening eyes and breathing heavily, Blake's gaze was transfixed only onto the phoenix-like oddity in the sky while tearing up, Jaune couldn't utter a single word as his eyes grew big at every second, Nora hugged Ren in joy who had his mouth open wide in disbelief at something so beautiful and monstrous, and Pyrrha had her mouth hanging open in fascination at the huge phoenix in the sky. It's wings were just too majestic for words. And that beautiful red color…

All of them didn't know why, but they felt this overwhelming sensation of long-term happiness and friendship coming their way. It feels like they can live a long time with no worries and become stronger through each other, most importantly as a team.

Ruby was the first to snap out of it, "Come on. We have to hurry back!"

Weiss was the first one to surprisingly agree quickly with the young prodigy while... smiling, "Yes, you're right! Come on."

The seven didn't waste anytime in following the heiress with smiles written all over their faces.

The four Pokémon stood there, not moving at all, still looking straight up at the rainbow bird in the sky.

"Pika.../Ho-Oh…" Pikachu muttered in silent awe, Snorunt saying along the same lines as him. Chimchar and Purrloin closed their eyes in total bliss, not a care in the world. Pretty soon, they all rushed back to their new friends in the eight students all the way to Beacon Cliff.

Beacon Auditorium

Teams JNPR and RWBY were assigned, with Jaune and Ruby as leaders. Weiss didn't have any problem with Ruby as leader, internally glad that she doesn't have to put up with so much responsibility. She needs a break from it anyway.

"And last but not least... Pikachu, please come up to the stage... along with your new friends of course."

Pikachu widened his eyes, wondering why the nice old man would want him up there. His three friends were in confusion too, thinking the same thing.

The four stood in front of Ozpin with Pikachu at the front, "I am very happy to announce another team in you four. The four of you will be officially known as Team PPSC. Led by... Pikachu!"

Ruby and Weiss awed at the name "Popsicle". It does fit their innocent image really well. Soon enough, RWBY all ran to the stage and congratulated the four in their victory today.

Glynda sighed and shook her head at Ozpin, who was holding in a boisterous laughter, "Now I've said this many times in one too many stories, but this time it is definitely going to be an interesting year."

'Till next time…

So, what do you think? Pretty awesome, correct? Or you could be honest and say what you got to say in the review section. Speaking of, Reviews!

DiRunner: Thank you for the ideas, mate! I really appreciate it! I'll keep your suggestions in mind. And do please look forward to it, it gives me motivation to do a good job on these chapters.

ultima-owner: Another winner… :)TheOkWriter: Thank you.

Gizmo Gear: I know, I'm sorry for all you genwunners out there. You guys are my favorite people. There be more Pokémon than the ones who will attend Beacon, just they won't get much screen time.

Jyoster: I am pondering a little bit between the theme of Metal, Fighting, and Electric for Team JNPR. Just wait and see, you'll be surprised on who I come up with!

doa570047: Yes, I took your advice, and the next chapters after this one will be completely original, I assure you of that.

Extra: Do you like that little reference to the Indigo League anime at the end there? Ho-Oh is one of my favorite legendaries to play FFA with online on Sun and Moon. The group was introduced to a whole new feeling that they've never felt before. And this is one of the reasons why I decided to go all out original from here on out, or do you want specific scenes still in the story?

Extra 2: How do you guys feel about an OC story settled in the DxD universe? Say... a superhuman? This idea has been going through my head lately and I just wanted your opinions on this. I don't have to do it if you don't want me to.
