Well hello there! It's been awhile... Please don't kill me?

Ok i'm sorry that everything was cut short when it came to how this chapter was posted, so I hope you guys can forgive me for that, and read this one like nothing happened. But seriously, i'm sorry it took so long to sort everything out. But enough of this, lets get onto the review responses.

Black rabbit 17: Thanks for the compliment involving Pyrrha's character, and trust me that the shadow will be important, just not yet. As for the pancakes thing, she really just doesn't like them, I don't like them much either, but i'll eat them if I need to unlike most people who just hate them. I also jsut wanted to have Zyma show of slightly when it came to the launch off as she doesn't seem to do that much at all, that and teasing her friends.

Deadly animals are cute:

Meh, some people just miss things things you know, other people don't, but some people do, its just how things are you know?

Yeah, well she doesnt even know if she'll make it past initiation. thats how I think most of the time, and with this being a SYOC in most senses... so being pessimistic is in my nature with my writing as well. After initiation, on the other hand, then she'll have a lot of topics to go after and all that.

Its the same poll, I was just hoping other people would vote, but seeing as how there is a three way tie, I'm getting rid of the last one, and putting up a new one with the three in the tie for those who didn't vote for them choose one of those three.

I thought as much honestly. Seriously though, its seems like something that the spartan like girl would do to be honest. I figured it would be a good way to get the two as slight friends at the very least. It seems like it worked.

Loneliness is bad, but there are things much much worse. To put it simply Zyma has suffered abuse, both mental and physical, so she's had it rough and it's a surprise that she wasn't admitted to an asylum of some sort. That type of thing can make some people go crazy.

To someone who thinks the way she does, they are just a reminder of how weak she used to be and how hard she wants to get away from her past. This also links into the reason for the shadow to be around, as well as her anger problems that was shown back at the club.

More like Kiwi has catnip like properties. The more you know.

Yeah it was ears, but think about it this way, its the type of faunus she is. the pattern resembles that of a tiger, and those stripes are only common when it comes to tiger's. We can only assume there are more than just her for tiger faunus, so in that case there would have to be more than just her to take an example of. Also from what I can determine Minstral, which is where Sanctum is most likely located, and then there's the fact that Minstral and vale seem to be the places that tolerate the Faunus the most, and by thinking with that way, there are a lot of faunus in those places. This would also mean that a lot of Pyrrha's old classmates were faunus, and she could most likely determine she has ears after seeing her tail. Probably not the same idea when it comes to Blake though.

That was the name of the tanto. I decided to get them both names, though I think I might just shorten them up with one being Tigre, and the other being Tora. Both meaning the same thing, but them being different languages.

-_- Really? Just... really?

Sorry I guess, but it never really thought of it I guess.

Well that's really all I have to say at this point, so Until next time, enjoy the story.


Twas late in the afternoon, and all through the Emerald Forest, not a creature was stirring, not even a-

"OUT OF THE WAAAAAAYYY!"

Nevermind.

The owner of the voice turned out to be a woman that was about 6'1 in height, and red hair, and a suit of all things on. One would think the suit would be prim and proper, but it was anything but as the jacket was open, the Tie was missing, and the shirt was untucked on the right half. Her black dress pants were slightly ripped up, and then there was the fact that she had combat boots on instead of dress shoes. Her dark brown eyes had an almost evil gleam in them, as she crashed foot first into a Beowulf that was looking up towards her.

She rolled into the impact, even though the Grim was dead at this point, and she huffed and spoke in a gruff voice "I told ya to get out of the way. No one ever listens."

A loud roar from one of the bushes' caused the girl to turn to the side and frown. She pulled a broadsword that had a lot of scratches, but even then there was a couple of parts on the sword that showed that it could turn into something else if needed. At the same time, she held the sword up at just the right time for a beowulf to attack her.

She grinned with obvious bloodlust, as several more came into the small clearing "Teaming up on me are you?! Well come get some!"

She ducked under the first Beowulf's swipe, and kicked it in the chest, only to slice off the arm of the second one as it attacked her, and to Roll away from the third. She spun on her back to kick another one while slicing off the head of one of them leaving six, and one of them armless. The suited woman backed up a few feet to watched the rest of them, while the leader, which now that she looked at it, was an Alpha Beowulf, roared at her.

"You think you're scary?" The woman asked with a raised eyebrow "Ha! This is how you be scary"

The redhead backed up a few feet before she let out a roar that caused several people in the forest, including a boy with little more than shorts on, to look in the direction that she was in. Back in the clearing, however, all but the Alpha backed up slightly from the roar, but even then they didn't move any further due to the leader of the pack not backing down.

The woman gave a laugh towards them, before she charged at them with her sword at the ready. The beowulf's didn't wait for her either and charged as well, but when they reached the center, a couple of the beowulf's lost their heads due to a brutal swing, with an odd ring to it as well. She rolled to the side to dodge one of the other Beowulf's attacks, but even then, she felt something on her cheek. Putting a hand to it, she frowned when she realized that it was blood, which also meant that she got hit without knowing it.

With a scowl, the woman grabbed the sword with both hands, and swung, a loud ringing sound went through the area, to which the Alpha, and only one other Beowulf managed to get out of the way, but the rest were hit full force by the attack, and they were cut into pieces multiple times, along with a couple of trees, to where the ringing finally ended, and everything stilled.

The woman turned towards the Alpha and Beta beowulf's, only to find them long gone. With a displeased 'tch' The redhead walked further into the woods, not even caring that she didn't have a partner just yet.

In another part of the forest, a girl with a grey theme landed in the middle of a clearing, but she only gave a soft sigh in response. The girl had a darker, almost rat fur grey, color to her hair, along with a long coat that had a soft texture it to it. Her hands completely disappeared in the sleeves of her coat, though she had a pair of grey Khakis on along with grey tennis shoes. Her hair was let down and flat, showing two tiny rat ears on her head. She had no visible weapons, but considering she was a Huntress in training, it was obvious that she had some weapons.

The Faunus girls head snapped up the next second when a male voice shouted "WATCH OUT!"

The grey haired girl quickly rolled to the side as a blur of yellow and and blue hit the ground causing a dust cloud to be sent up. As the dust cleared, a groan came from the cloud to show Azure in what many called the 'Scorpion' his legs over his head, and his face in the dirt at the moment. The grey haired girl stared at him for a few seconds, before she walked up to him and tilted her head, but not saying anything, dull silver eyes staring at him.

The boys current attire, his battle clothes, consisted of a base layer of some lightweight chainmail. Overtop the chainmail was a blue long sleeve shirt. Overtop that was a chest piece of plate armor. There were gauntlets and knee pads on him as he had blue dyed leather trousers on. He had a pair combat boots on instead of sneakers and a blue leather cap on his head as well.

Azure let out another groan, before he looked towards the girl that was staring at him, causing him to give a slightly awkward laugh "Sorry about that. You managed to get out of the way though, so that's a plus. Do you have a partner yet?"

The girl continued to stare at him, but she eventually nodded, while holding out a hand to help him up. Azure, in response, took the hand and gave a smile towards the girl, to which she just nodded her head in response.

Azure stood awkwardly before he asked "Do you talk?"

The silver eyed girl shook her head, but continued to walk forward through the forest, causing Azure to run to catch up. The blonde haired boy took this time to look the girl over, discreetly as he didn't want to be seen as a pervert, but enough that he could see if she had any weapons on her. He was about to chalk her up to being a hand to hand fighter, which was possible no matter how rare it was, but his eyes caught a small bump on her forearms. It wasn't enough to tell exactly what they were, but it was enough for him to know that she had some form of weapon on her.

Azure quickly rolled to the side when he heard a bush rustle, and just in time as well due to the fact that an Ursa popped out of the bushes. Not just any Ursa either, of all things it had to be an Ursa Major that decided to attack them. Hearing a whistle from behind him, he ducked down just as the grey haired girl jumped over him, a ash grey battleaxe in her hands. The large weapon struck down on the beast, only to shatter a second later, turning into actual ash. The ash, however quickly went back into the girls hands and formed a longsword, to which she slashed at its back when she rolled around it.

Azure took this time to pull his sword and shield off of his back. The sword was a common double edged nobel sword that you would find in the hands of a noble knight, the handle was a blue and yellow checker pattern, while the guard was a dark sea blue color. The shield was large, easily the size of a kite shield, yet it did nothing to hinder him from lifting it up like it was nothing.

The blonde quickly ran forward, while also shifting his shield a bit, as the bear was trying to land on him, so that he pushed it to the side, and then sliced off a couple of claws on its other paw, the bear roaring in response. The bear was going to attack Azure once again, but before it could, an ash grey arrow suddenly appeared in its right shoulder, quickly turning to ash while the damage was shown.

The blonde boy saw the hole that was left behind, so with a quick roll to the right, he sent a swing towards the arm, and hit it dead center on the hole. The hole from the ash arrow gave Azure enough of an advantage that he managed to slice the entire arm off, before he stabbed his sword into the other paw, pinning it. The grey haired girl took her chance at this point to take some ash and turn into int an executioner's blade of sorts, and cut the beast's head off.

Azure gave a slightly sigh in relief at the beast disintegrating before he held a hand out to the grey themed girl "Sorry I didn't do this earlier, but I'm Azure Rayn."

The girl gave him a slightly questioning look, but when the flapping of wings was heard, they looked up to see a colorful bird, one with its main body being a bright green, with the tips of the wings being black, and the neck area being blue, with a streak of yellow. The bird tilted its head towards Azure, before looking towards the grey haired girl. Silence reigned for a few seconds, before the bird hopped onto the grey girls head and spoke.

"My name is Viri Grigio." The bird spoke, but Azure figured that just like the blind have dogs to lead them, Viri had this bird to talk for her.

With that in mind, the blonde haired boy gave a smile and said "Nice to meet you Viri."

Somewhere else in the forest, a loud whistling sound was heard, before a large dust cloud was created, this was near the redheaded girl who was in a suit. When the dust cloud disappeared, a large man stood up from it.

Standing rather tall, he would come off as a rather scary person, as he's both tall and rather muscular. He had slightly long golden blond hair with most of which is kept under a brown trapper hat with white fur and a red star on the front. His skin was a very light color while his eyes were a cold blue color. His legs were covered in high dark brown military boots with tan colored pants tucked into them. The large man didn't have a shirt on, and instead has a closed military great coat colored a light tan color with red shoulder boards. His hands were covered with black gloves, but most people looking towards him could see a slight glow coming off of his coat.

The large man frowned as he looked toward the damage he caused just by landing, but that was quickly stopped when he saw a bear growling at him. The grim let out a large roar just as the large man took a step forward, not noticing the redhead that was watching the scene at the moment. After a few seconds, both of the large fighters charge at each other, and everything seemed to go in slow motion.

The large man's fist descended on the bears head, as the bear in turn swiped at the man's head. The two seemed to get closer and closer, until finally the bear was sent flying backwards, and into several more trees, becoming embedded head first into the ground. The large man scowled at the bear, before spitting to the side, a little bit of red coming with it due to the bears claw, and he said "Bad bear."

The man was about to walk away from the damage, when he turned coming face to face with a woman that was 4 inches shorter than he was The two stared at each other for a few minutes, before the woman smirked and said "Guys that makes us partners big guy." She waited for a response but didn't get one, to which she nodded in understanding "Strong silent type I see. That'll work just fine with me. Rather have someone like you than a jabber jaw."

They continued to be silent for a few more seconds, before deciding to just walk forward with no set destination in mind, though they both knew that they were stuck with each other for awhile. The fact that initiation wasn't completely done yet didn't bother either of them.


Well, that's the end of this chapter, and I'm sorry to say that this will be the last one for awhile. I'm having Cindy type this while I'm next to her, unfortunately I can't look at the screen, but I'm sure she's getting the message i'm trying for across.

Either way, the next chapter won't be coming until september, so I'm sorry for the wait you guys are going to have to go through, but don't worry that doesn't meant that this story is entering a Hiatus, no its just being help up a little bit so that I can get out of the hospital.

That said onto questions for all of you.

Who was you're favorite of the initiates you've seen so far?

What do you think the semblance for the one you like best is?

Do you think all of the pairs will work well together?

That's about all that I have for you guys at the moment, so I hope you guys will actually try answering the questions I've given you. But until than, see ya next time.
