According to my profile it's been 7 odd years since I posted any thing on this site. To the people who favorited my other stories, if you're reading this, I apologize. It's not that I had writers block, it's that I had no motivation. Ideas in my head but no will to write them. If I do get around to continuing them it's most likely going to start with a lot of rewriting and/or editing. Looking back, they seem to need it badly. That's the sign of writing changes after years I guess.

Now, a few things about this story. As the pairings suggest, this'll be a Yang/OC story and the Pyrrha/Jaune pairing will be on the side. I'm not sure if I can get the characters personalities correct but hey, this is fanfiction, what do you expect? I have the second chapter typed up and ready to be posted if this receives decent reviews. If I feel that the reviews are favorable i'll post the next chapter some time the following week. And now, for what you've all been waiting for, the disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY. Never did and never will. If I did, Yang/Jaune (or Blake/Jaune ) would be cannon and it can not be said that no one agrees. I've seen the stories. I know there are other people who like those pairings. No point in hiding them.

As the sun neared noon the future students of Beacon Academy collected at the landing pad of the airships that would take them up to the top of the cliff where their future home for the following 4 years was located. Among the students who were gathering, one was listening to his head set which was plugged into his Scroll. He had brunette hair cut short, lightly tanned skin and green eyes. He had on a white long sleeve shirt with a leather and metal plate chest piece over it, on both arms were arm guards that started near his elbows and ended in fingerless gloves, he wore black worker jeans and steel toed boots. Around his waist was a belt that had a pouch on the back side holding his weapons maintenance tools and parts and behind it a pair of folded ice axes could be seen. On both sides of the belt was a pair of short swords with red leather grips. Two pieces of leather, one on each side, hung from the belt, and were strapped to his thighs each carrying other objects. On his right thigh was a large pistol with a helical magazine, while on his left thigh were three replacement magazines. The student hummed and sang along with the song he was listening to as he waited for the airships doors to open.

Let me blow you, away!

There's nothing that I will not do or say

to entertain a red companion

in this hot and sweaty canyon

like a stallion I am bursting through the ga-te!

He sang before he started muttering the lines the characters in the song said next.

"Hey weirdo, stopping that horrible song. For that matter, stop with the singing all together" some one said.

"Bite me" he said not bothering to take his headphones off.

The person shook his head and moved away from the other student continued singing along with the song he was listening to. As he sang the doors to the airships opened and the students started going inside. When he saw the doors opened he picked up a large bag at his side that had a guitar case strapped to it. It was a normal black leather case except the emblem on it was a sky blue guitar with a sword replacing the neck the strings went up. He put the bag straps over his left shoulder and put his left hand on the bag to keep it in place as he followed the other students onto the airship. He found an open seat on a bench and sat down on it as the pilots waited for the rest of the students to get on. Once all of the students were on board the airship shook as it took off. He looked out the window and saw that the airship, along with others that were flying on the same course, were taking them above the city before it started towards Beacon. As he looked around he saw students start talking to their friends or people they didn't know. Among the students was a female blond hugging a girl in red and black. He shook his head as he watched them.

'How can she manage that much hair? Must be a girl thing' he thought to him self before he continued looking at the other students.

Off to one side there was a guy who had one hand against the wall while the other was holding his mouth. Most likely the guy was about to puke and was doing his best not to let it out. A mental note was made not to go near the guy till the airship stopped moving. As the song ended he took his Scroll from a pocket and started going through the songs on it. As he started going through the songs the guy who had a hand against the wall ran past him. He figured the guy had reached his limit and was looking for a place to toss his lunch. The student looked out the window again and saw that the airships were nearing Beacon.

"Time to go then" he muttered to him self as he stood up.

He walked over to where the other students were collecting to get off the airship as it came to a stop at one of the docks. As the doors opened he narrowed down to the song he would listen to as he walked towards the academy. Once the doors were fully opened the students started leaving the airships and the guy from before ran ahead, probably happy to be off the moving vehicle. He adjusted his bag to make sure every thing was in place before he played the song and started walking. He looked above the crowd of students and saw the academy. While he wouldn't have chosen a castle theme for the school but considering the fact they were training to kill monsters it kinda fit. The architect probably read one too many fairy tails of hero's killing monsters and putting down villains.

On a Sunday morning

I touch the sky

Next morning I touched your heart

Was the start

I play my role when I rip the mic apart

Do what I got to do to place a spark

I'mma put it down

Seeking no crown anymore

He sang as he walked. In front of him saw that some one's Dust cases had broken and released the contents into the air next to the student in red and black who was getting a lecture from another student in white. He grabbed the handle of his guitar case and swung it in front of him to blow the air born Dust away as he walked past them. As he put the guitar back on his bag he thought he heard a small poof sound. He figured that some of the remaining Dust had exploded but not as much since some of it had probably been blown aside when he swung his guitar case. Since no one was yelling or running to check what had happened he figured it wasn't important and held his hand like he was singing into a mic. As the song came to an end the students were directed into an amphitheater where two of the staff were standing on a stage.

Figuring that there was going to be a speech he turned off the Scroll's music function, took off his head set and put them away before he started looking around. He saw the blond from before in the room as well as the girl in white. There was a red haired girl who looked familiar among the crowd but he couldn't place where he had seen her. On the other side of the room was a black haired student with a stripe of pink in his hair keeping a hyper looking orange haired girl from running off. He looked in another direction and saw a girl with yellow eyes reading a book. He was about to look at the other students when he thought he saw her bow twitch.

'Did that bow twitch? Hm, a Faunus maybe? Possible. I don't see too many among the new students. Bet the bow's hiding a cute pair of kitty ears' he thought as he smirked.

He then went back to looking at the other students and a few minutes later the people on the stage. A short speech was made followed by directions of what they would be doing this afternoon. Once the speech was finished faculty members started calling for students to get into groups so they could mark off who had arrived and who didn't. He went over to one of the faculty members and waited for them to talk to him.

"I'll need your name and your Scroll to check your ID" faculty member said as he looked up from a large Scroll he was holding.

"Nigel Godin" Nigel said as he took out his scroll and brought up his student ID.

The faculty member took the scroll and checked it against the information he had. Once he confirmed it he handed the Nigel his scroll back and directed him to who he should see for the tour of the academy. After the groups were formed the students were led around the academy grounds so they would know where every thing was. They were then brought to the armory lockers and received their locker assignments. Nigel went to his locker and put in his code using the key pad. He then opened it up and saw that inside was a sleeping bag and a pillow. He figured that they were for sleeping in the ballroom tonight while rooms were assigned. He took a sweat shirt and pants out of his bag to change into before he started taking his weapons off of his belt. He took the sleeping bag out and proceeded to stuff his bag into the locker. Once he was sure that it wouldn't pop out or that it wouldn't keep the locker door from closing he started to put his weapons and other equipment into the locker. Once they were properly in place the only thing he had out was his guitar and a change of clothes. He then tried closing the door but it wouldn't close all the way.

"Maybe I had too much in the bag" Nigel muttered to him self.

He held the door in place before he slammed his shoulder into it and forced it closed. Seeing that the door had closed all the way he grabbed his stuff and left to get changed. Not soon after he put down his guitar case, unrolled his sleeping bag next to it and was looking out of one of the ballroom windows. Night was falling and he had decided to look up at the sky. He was a ways off from home but the stars seemed the same. Well, as far as he was concerned. He had never bothered learning the names of constellations or major stars. For all he knew they could have all been different and it wouldn't have mattered. He chuckled at the thought before he saw some thing in the reflection. Another student was moving close to his guitar case to take a look.

"You touch Lil Baby and you're going to loose that arm" Nigel said as he turned to glare at the student.

The student muttered jerk and walked off. Nigel shook his head as he walked back to his sleeping bag and sat down next to the case. He opened it and took out an acoustic guitar that had the words Lil Baby burned into the wood. He came from a long line of performers, mostly musicians, and in his family there was a tradition that the first born child of each generation had an instrument named Lil Baby. It came from some old story that one of his ancestors killed a Beowulf with nothing but a musical instrument they named Lil Baby. No one remembered what the instrument was although there was a joke that they had done it with a ukulele. The kids in the family tended to laugh and giggle at the idea. The Lil Baby he was using belonged to his grandfather who gave it to his mother who eventually gave it to him. When he had announced that he was going to be the first in the family to be a Hunter they had insisted he take it with him. As he left home the younger members of his family asked him to bring back a picture of him using it to kill a Death Stalker.

'How in Monty's name do they expect me to kill a Death Stalker with this thing' Nigel thought to him self as he started loosening the strings.

While he was sure that he wouldn't be allowed to play it in the ball room he didn't think there would be any problem with him polishing and doing some maintenance on the guitar. He wasn't sure if it had taken any damage on the way there but it didn't hurt to make sure. Besides that, he found it relaxing. By the time he finished and was putting it back in its case, lights were being turned off.

When morning came around the first thing Nigel did was to make sure his guitar was still there and intact. Seeing that nothing had changed he picked up his guitar case and ran off to his locker. When he reached the lockers he quickly entered his code in and opened the door. The initiation was going to be happening in a few hours and he still needed to make sure all of his gear was in order as well as eat breakfast. He took out his combat gear along with a change of clothes before he carefully put Lily Baby in the locker and did his best to make sure it was closed. He checked to make sure it was closed before he picked up his combat gear and left to get dressed. 20 minutes later he was sitting at a table in the cafeteria switching between eating pancakes and taking inventory of his supplies. As he finished eating his pancakes he looked around to see who was around. At another table he spotted the guy with pink in his hair and his friend eating. As Nigel watched them he saw the girl slurp the pancake she was eating. Nigel froze and blinked as he stared at her.

'What the hell? Did she just slurp up a pancake' Nigel screamed in his head.

He looked down at his own pancakes and shook his head before he went back to eating.

"Either I didn't have enough sleep or there's some thing around here making me hallucinate" Nigel muttered to him self in between bites.

Once he finished he quickly got every thing put where it was supposed to go before he left the cafeteria. Since his pistol and spare magazines didn't seem like they would come loose he didn't have to worry about adjusting their holders. He then checked his short swords and they seemed to be firmly held in place as well. His tools were in their pouch and the ice axes were ready to go should he need them. As he wondered where to go a voice came over the PA system.

"Will all first year students report to Beacon Cliff for initiation. Again, all first year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately" the voice said.

Nigel stopped as he heard that they were to report to the cliff. Growing up he had heard stories, probably fictional, about animals or warrior tribes throwing their young off of cliffs and only accepting them if they managed to climb back up. Nigel started praying that that wasn't going to happen as he made his way out of the school and to the cliffs. Once he reached the cliffs Nigel and the other students were directed by Ozpin and Goodwitch to stand on square platforms. Nigel looked around and saw that there were 15 other students there besides him self.

"For years you have trained to become warriors and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest" Ozpin said.

"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard the rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates today" Goodwitch said as she opened a faculty Scroll.

"These teammates will be with your for the rest of your time here at Beacon so it is in your best interests to be paired with someone whom you can work well. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years" Ozpin said.

Nigel heard a word of complaint from one of the students and another talking about how they knew it worked that way. Nigel, how ever, had focused on the word landing.

'Oh, heavens above we're going to get thrown from the cliff' Nigel thought as he held his hand to his face

"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest" Ozpin continued "You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy every thing in your path or you will die."

Nigel moved his hand from his face as he thought about what to do if he encountered a Grimm. If it was some thing he could handle that'd be fine. If it was some thing he couldn't, shoot and kill it before he was noticed. If neither option was valid then run like hell. He probably was going to do that last one any ways.

"You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation but our instructors will not intervene" Ozpin said as he looked at Goodwitch then back at the students "You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item as well as your standing and be graded appropriately. Are there any questions" Ozpin asked.

One of the students started to ask a question but Ozpin ignored them and told the students to take their position. Nigel started cursing in his head as he positioned his legs and held his hands near his waist, ready to grab what ever he had with him once he figured out how he was going to land. He then heard the sound of the platforms launching the other students.

'Gonna die, gonna die, gonna die, gonna diiieeee' Nigel repeated in his head before he was launched into the air.

As he flew through the air he started to quickly look around. He started making rough estimates of his speed and decent so he would get an idea of where he'd, hopefully, land or, most likely, painfully crash. Of coarse this was based on the assumption he wouldn't hit any one or any thing first. He looked ahead and saw that he would reach the forest in front of the cliffs very soon. He then spotted some branches and started coming up with an idea on what to do next. He quickly took both ice axes from his belt and flicked them open. When he heard them click and lock into place he raised them slightly over his head as he held them in a firm grip. Both of the head pieces caught onto a thick branch which sent him spinning around it.

As he came up into the spin he let go and the momentum sent him backwards feet first. Nigel looked behind him self and saw that a large tree branch was behind him. Acting quickly he collected his Aura and sent it towards his legs. Once his feet touched the branch he did his best to act like a spring and bent his legs to take the impact before he used his Aura to increase the strength in his legs and pushed off. He shot away from the branch and as he passed the first one he grabbed the ice axes as he went past the branch. As he neared the ground he curled up into a ball and directed his Aura to protect his head, neck and his back. As soon as he hit the ground his went rolling and when he came to a stop he got on one knee with the ice axes at his sides incase some thing attacked. When he didn't see any thing move to attack him he undid the ice axes locking mechanisms, folded them up and put them back behind his pouch. He then stood up and dusted him self off.

"And those guys said I was an idiot for taking gymnastic classes" Nigel said as he started patting him self down.

While he didn't seem to have broken any thing he was probably going to feel the pain from pulling that move off later. Of course, he had to grab the relic and get out of the forest first. Between being eaten by a Grimm or feeling the pain of his muscles telling him he did some thing stupid he'd rather take the pain. He looked around to get his bearings before he started running north. As he ran he heard some thing and looked up. Above him he saw the blond girl flying through the air using her gauntlets to propel her self.

"O.k. Gotta admit, that's very cool. I wonder if she could reach the temple just flying like that" Nigel asked him self as he looked ahead and started running faster.

As he ran he started thinking about who he'd end up partnered with. Truth be, told he hadn't really talked to any one since he had gotten there. He really should have now that he thought about it. He wouldn't mind being paired with the blond who had gone rocketing past to tell the truth. She seemed strong, knew what she was doing and he thought she was cute. He slowed down once he had that last thought and kicked it out of his head before he picked up his pace again. Thinking about attractive girls was not some thing one should do in a forest full of monsters that would love to maul you and eat your liver.

As he ran he thought he heard some thing moving through the trees. He slowed down and drew his pistol, turned off the safety and started looking around. What ever it was it was most likely watching him since it hadn't attacked. He stood still and waited a minute for some thing to happen but nothing did. As he started to think that what ever it was had left he heard some thing move the tree branches above him. He quickly jump and rolled forward. When he came to a stop he quickly turned around with his pistol raised and aimed at what had come down.

Where he had been standing was a teenage girl in dull red metal armor. The armor wasn't all connected as the leg and arm pieces stopped at the joints. She wore a leather skirt piece with metal studs in it that stopped at her knees as well as a metal helmet that had an opal where the center of her forehead would be. On the side of her helmet was a grey crescent moon with a leaf and apple stem on it. She had brown eyes and from what he could see of her hair underneath her helmet it seemed to be black. In her arms was some sort of pole weapon with the head of it planet in the ground.

"Oh, you're human. I thought you were a Grimm" the girl said.

She then pulled her weapon out of the ground. From the looks of the weapon it seemed to be made out of wood but since she was likely a Huntress in training, the center of the pole may have had a metal rod inside of it. The pole ended in a wooden end piece with intercet carvings on it. The shape of it made Nigel think of an upside down pare. Judging from the look of a seam on the circular end he figured the top piece could be removed and there might be some thing inside. He would have asked if her weapon was a goedendag if he didn't have a more pressing question.

"What the hell do you mean you thought I was a Grimm" Nigel yelled at her.

"Just that. I saw some thing running through the forest and thought you were a Grimm" the girl said shrugging her shoulders.

He stared at her as he tried to get his anger under control.

"There are other students running through the forest. What if you had killed them, or my self, with your little stunt" Nigel said as he tightened his grip on his weapon.

He was very tempted to let loose then and there but he didn't. First of all, he wasn't that type of guy. Second, the instructors were likely watching and would take offence at him killing another student. He was not in the mood to be expelled or put in jail.

"Hey, the blade's covered so at most they'd get a concussion" she girl said crossing her arms "The least you could do is drop the problem and accept my apology"

Nigel looked at her as his right eyebrow started twitching.

"What apology? You didn't apologize" Nigel said as he holstered his weapon.

The girl blinked and looked at him for a few moments before she spoke up.

"Oh, I didn't? I thought I did. Well, sorry" the girl said before she turned and started walking away smiling with her weapon raised in front of her like it was a baton and she was leading a parade "Let's go partner. There are relics to retrieve and Grimm to slaughter."

"What do you mean by that" Nigel asked.

"You don't remember what the guy with the bottomless coffee mug said? He said that the first person you make eye contact with is your partner for the next four years" the girl said as she stopped and looked back at him.

Nigel blinked as he recalled what Ozpin had said. He then started going through a slow motion replay of his encounter with the girl in his head and she was right. They had made eye contact. For the next four years he'd be stuck with this girl as his partner.

'Damn you Ozpin. I curse your coffee. May the beans always be rotten, the sugar rot your teeth and your creamer be waaay past its expiration date' Nigel thought as he hung his head down.

"So, we going or what" the girl asked.

Nigel sighed and nodded as he started walking. There was nothing he could do about it now. He just had to accept his fate and hope his curse would take effect.

"What's your name" the girl asked as they walked.

"Shouldn't you tell me yours first" Nigel asked.

"Oh, I thought I did. The names Trudy Ludwig" the girl said waving her weapon in the air "So whatcha got with you?"

Nigel looked at her and assumed she was talking about weapons. He then looked down at his equipment and figured that he might as well tell her.

"First of all i'm Nigel Godin, the pistol's Pebble Storm, the right blade his Eternal Comedy and the left is Fated Drama" he said looking back at her.

"Odd names" Trudy said shaking her head.

"I guess. I wasn't the one who named them. What's yours" Nigel asked.

"Bone Smasher. Short, simple and straight to the point. I like smashing things. Especially limbs that'll make cracking noises" Trudy said as she smiled and hugged her weapon to her chest.

Nigel started mumbling as he started thinking about another way of cursing Ozpin. If this girl really liked breaking things then he could not let her near Lil Baby. As the two walked they heard the sound of gun fire. Trudy looked back at Nigel who nodded and the two started running. The two soon came to a clearing where a pair of female students were fighting six Boarbatusks. One student was using a thin sword that ended in a sharp point and a white hexagon shaped shield that had a red serpent type dragon wrapped around a broken sword for a symbol on the center. She had white hair tied into two short pony tails, blue eyes, was wearing boots that stopped a little below her knees, black leather gloves and what looked like a blue jumpsuit with a leather jacket over it. The other girl had green eyes which were covered by a pair of circular glasses, red hair in a bowl cut, wore hiking boots, blue jeans, had a red blouse on and what looked like a trench coat that had been cut short at the bottom over it. On the right shoulder of the coat was a brown book with a black inkwell and a white feather on top of it. Her weapon looked a cross bow but rather than a bow piece there were a pair of curved blades that made Nigel think of a pick axe. It sounded like an assault rifle so Nigel figured it wasn't shooting any from of arrows or bolts.

"So, we joining in? Strength in numbers and all that" Trudy said with a wide smile on her face.

Nigel looked at her and figured she just saw it as an excuse to hit some thing. He sighed and shook his head.

"Even if we fought there'd still be two left while we were fighting the other four" Nigel said.

"What are we going to do then" Trudy asked.

"I've got an idea but let's not speak of it after o.k" Nigel asked.

Trudy blinked and nodded saying that she'd follow his lead. Nigel let out a breath as he collected his Aura. He then placed his hand on his throat as he started taking air into his lungs. When he opened his mouth the howl of a Beowolf came out. The Boarbatusks stopped their attacks and started looking around. Nigel then started letting out different howls so it wound sounds like there was a pack of Beowolfs near by. The lead Boarbatusk made a sound and the whole group started running. With them gone Nigel stopped using his Aura and let out a small cough and rubbed his throat.

"I hate doing that. Always leaves me with a soar throat" Nigel said as he reached into his pouch and took out a container of throat drops.

"How-" Trudy was about to ask but Nigel gave her a look that cut her off.

He took one of the throat drops out of the container and put it in his mouth as Trudy ran into the clearing. He shook his head as he put the container back in his pouch and followed her.

"You all o.k" Trudy asked.

"Yes but if there's a pack of Beowolf around then we should get moving" the girl with the shield said.

"You don't need to worry about that. He did it" Trudy said pointing at Nigel.

"Trudy. I said not to talk about it" Nigel yelled at her.

"Oh, I thought you meant I'm not to walk about it between us. Sorry" Trudy said shrugging her shoulders.

"How did you manage to pull off sounding like a Beowolf" the swordswoman asked as she put her sword and shield away.

"His Semblance" the other girl said as she hooked her weapon onto a belt under her coat.

"His what" the swordswoman asked.

"Semblance. Once a Hunter's skills are developed enough it's not unusual for them to develop a separate power from Aura. The Beowolf howling is a sign of his. Either sound manipulate or mimicry" the girl said turning to face Nigel "correct?"

"It's both actually" Nigel said shaking his head "I don't think it's valuable but I can manipulate sound waves to a certain degree and if I hear some thing enough times I can mimic it. I just don't like doing it because it puts stress on my vocal cords."

"Regardless of your estimated value on it, it does have its uses. The situation we were in for example" the girl said as she adjusted her glasses.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got an odd power and it saved our sweet asses. Let's move on. The names Parkin and my smarty pants side kick here is Rona" Parkin said nodding towards Rona.

Rona didn't say thing about being called a smarty pants or a side kick so Nigel figured she didn't mind.

"Oh, I should introduce us to. I'm Trudy and this is my side kick Nigel" Trudy said pointing at Nigel.

"Your side kick? I'm no one's side kick" Nigel yelled.

Trudy just raspberried to show she didn't agree with Nigel. Parkin just smiled and laughed.

"What ever. You two love birds should just find some secluded part of the forest and have a go at it" Parkin said with a chuckle.

"What do you mean by a go at it" Trudy asked.

Parkin was about to speak but was interrupted by Rona who put her hand in front of her face.

"Now is not the time for crude jokes. We have a mission to accomplish" Rona said.

"Fine, let's go" Parkin said with a sigh as she turned and started walking north "Soon as we hit the cliffs though I'm starten up the crude joke machine."

Trudy just laughed and followed after Parkin. Nigel watched them go before he turned towards Rona.

"I take it neither of us got who we were expecting" Nigel asked.

Rona just nodded before she adjusted her glasses again and followed after the other two. Nigel let out a sigh before he followed after. It didn't take long for them to reach the ruins.

"Any one else wondering if this place is rigged" Nigel asked as he looked around.

"That is a possibility although not likely. This place seems to be too far into disrepair for any traps to still be active. Although, that does not remove the possibility that some one has not repaired the traps them selves. I'm more interested in what appears to be the relics" Rona said as she looked at the ruins.

"What do you mean" Trudy asked looking back at her.

"There are 20 pedestals. Each with chess pieces on top. 10 black and 10 gold. Based on what I see there are two of each for the playing pieces. 2 black pawns, 2 bishops, 2 knights and 2 rooks. It's the same for the gold pieces. However, following that logic, there should be two of the kings and queens of the same color yet I only see one of each. This is based on the remaining pieces though" Rona said.

"Maybe that's the way they set it up? I've never played chess before but I know there are too few pieces here" Parkin said.

"Did they loose the other pieces? It'd be a shame to play without a full board" Trudy said.

"Well, whatever. Let's just grab and go" Parkin said as she walked up to a pedestal and grabbed a relic.

Nigel shook his head before he looked at Trudy and nodded. The place didn't seem to be rigged with traps and he didn't think it'd hurt for her to choose their relic. The armor wearer walked up to the relics and started looking at them.

"I like… this one" she said picking up a gold queen.

"Good. Now that that's done let's go" Parkin said as she started jogging away from the ruins.

Rona didn't say any thing more as she followed after Parkin.

"Nothing left here to do" Nigel said before he started running with Trudy chasing after.

About ten minutes later the four of them had left the view of the ruins and were heading back south towards the cliff they had been launched from. As they ran Nigel slowed to a stop and looked around. At the limit of his hearing he thought he heard some thing.

"Some thing up" Trudy asked as the others stopped.

"I thought I heard a girl scream" Nigel said as he tried to figure out where the scream came from.

"Some girl's in trouble" Trudy said before she looked at Parkin "So, we gonna help out?"

"Dunno" Parkin said shrugging her shoulders before she looked at Nigel "You sure you heard a scream? Can you use that sound power deal thing of yours to check?"

Nigel thought about it then shook his head.

"They're probably not screaming any more and with out a continuous source I wouldn't be able to check. Besides that, I'm out of range" Nigel said.

"And with that answer let's be on our way. Since he's not sure and we have no clue where the scream came from, if he heard it, there'd be no point in looking" Parkin said before she started running again.

Seeing her logic as valid the other three ran after her. About an hour later the four students came to the cliff they had been launched from. They looked around trying to figure a way back up before Rona spotted stairs that had been carved into the cliff. Trudy quickly ran towards the stairs while Nigel chased after yelling for her not to run up them. It wasn't long before they reach the top of the cliff and found Ozpin and Goodwitch standing there.

'Have they been here the whole time' Nigel asked him self 'If they have been here the whole time then that coffee mug is either really bottomless or he's had some one run coffee to him from the academy.'

"Are we the first ones here" Parkin asked as she walked over to Ozpin.

"No. There were four others who reached here before you. You are the second group to arrive. Do you have the relics" Goodwitch asked.

"I believe we do" Parkin said.

She took out a king piece and showed it to Ozpin. He inspected the object before he nodded.

"And you two" Goodwitch asked looking at Nigel and Trudy.

Trudy nodded before she took out the queen piece and showed it to Ozpin. He inspected it as well before he nodded confirming that they had retrieved a relic.

"Congratulations. You four have completed your initiation. Return to the academy and wait in the cafeteria while the others retrieve their relics. Once all of the students have returned you will be called for" Ozpin said before he took a sip from his mug.

"Good. I need to fill my stomach with some thing tasty" Trudy said as she started towards the academy.

"Since we've reached the cliffs it's time for the crude jokes to start flowing" Parkin said smiling.

Nigel just groaned as he followed after Trudy. He really should have brought his headset along.

Nigel and the others stood in the amphitheater. There were students and faculty standing on the floor or sitting on the benches in the higher level. The students who had retrieved the relics were now being assigned teams. Nigel listened as the teams were named and he didn't like what he was hearing. From what he got it seemed like that which ever four were called up together would be put into a team. It was a given that one of his team mates would be Trudy since she was his partner. He was really hoping not to be teamed up with Parkin. She had grabbed a king piece and because they weren't the same they shouldn't be paired up right?

"Nigel Godin, Trudy Ludwig, Rona Nord and Parkin Fender" Ozpin called out.

'Dammit' Nigel thought as the four of them walked onto the stage and stood in front of the man.

"The four of you retrieved the white king and white queen pieces. From this day forward you will work together as team PTRN (Patron), led by Parkin Fender" Ozpin said.

The moment Parkin was named team leader Nigel was screaming in his head. Rona he could work with but he didn't want to work with Trudy and Parkin at the same time. Even more so if Parkin was leading. He glanced at his team leader who was doing a little victory dance. She continued her dance as the four of them walked off the stage. Once they were off the stage one of the faculty came up to them and gave them their room assignment and told them how to unlock the door. When Nigel heard that he'd be sharing a room with them his eyebrow started twitching.

"Hey, male roommate" Parkin said turning to face him "better not go peeking or you're going to get a swift kick to where the sun don't shine."

Nigel held both hands up to his face. He was feeling very tempted to start crying then and there.

And that's the first chapter. More OC's will be introduced in later chapters if I continue the story and by more I mean about 18. Yes, I have tossed that many character ideas around in my head, tried to think of names for them, who their team mates are and names that go along with their weapons. And those are just for this story. When I had first started watching RWBY I had thought of four hunters that would meet teams RWBY and JNPR on assignment. They'll probably pop up at some points but more as minor characters or some thing. With that said don't forget to leave a review.
