Note: I got the idea to create a team of my own in the RWBY universe not too long ago and this is the result. I've already got the story set in mind, at least up till the end of Volume 3. Still, future concepts and ideas wont go unnoticed.

I'm mostly writing this story for fun so try not to expect any stellar writing. Also before you ask, I named one of the characters 'Jason' because I needed a name that started with a 'J' and it was the first that came to mind.

Anyway, I think that's all I wanted to say so I hope you enjoy.


RWBY: Team JSTC 'Justice'

Volume 1 - Chapter 1

Professor Ozpin sat in his office at Beacon academy reviewing a list of, soon to be student, profiles. He took a sip from his mug of coffee and picked up the next file.

Ozpin: Jason Conduit. Strong, friendly, and determined.

Glynda: His transcripts suggest maybe too determined.

Glynda Goodwitch stood opposite Ozpin's desk.

Glynda: He's been known to push himself beyond his limits on more than one occasion during his time at signal.

Ozpin: Even so, he graduated signal with a reasonably high score.

Glynda: True, and more impressively he joined a year early making him more skilled than most his age. Should I write him down for acceptance?

Ozpin took a moment to think, taking a sip of his coffee. He took a glance at the next file before responding.

Ozpin: I believe we may have to take into account the partner in crime before doing so.

Ozpin placed Jason's profile in front of him and picked up the next one.

Ozpin: Shade Broker…

Glynda: Ah, yes… ...him.

Ozpin: You don't approve of him?

Glynda: Quite the opposite actually. He's a perfect student from what I heard. Near perfect score upon graduation. It's just…

Ozpin: He scared all the other students during his time at signal. His appearance strikes fear into those around him, and then there's his semblance.

Glynda: I just find it hard to believe he'd work well in a team. Although him and Mr Conduit supposedly get along fine.

Ozpin: It is interesting. Their profiles describe their friendship as one shareable between siblings.

Ozpin placed Shade's profile next to Jason's.

Ozpin: Which is why we shouldn't accept one without accepting the other.

Glynda: Understood. I'll mark them down and send the acceptance letters.

Ozpin sat back and took another sip from his coffee before handing the profiles to Glynda and moving onto the next one.

[One Week Later]

Jason: This is happening! I can't believe this is actually happening!

Jason said excitedly as he stared out the airship window.

Jason: We're actually going to Beacon! This is actually a dream come true.

Jason seemed to contemplate for a moment before turning.

Jason: Shade! Pinch my arm. I need to make sure!

Shade stood there tall and ominous before rolling his eyes and reaching out and giving Jason a sharp pinch on the arm.

Jason: Okay good, not a dream.

Jason looked back out the window for a moment before turning back to Shade with smile on his face.

Jason: Alright, we need to get a head start to make up for last time.

Shade seemed to realize what he was talking about immediately and sighed in disappointment.

Shade: We haven't even landed yet.

Jason: Which is why I said 'Head Start'. Look I know you didn't like to socialize back at signal but this is a new start.

Jason patted Shade on the shoulder.

Shade: It's not that I don't like to socialize, it's that nobody even gives me a chance.

Shade spoke in a sorrow tone. Jason thought for a moment and looked around.

Jason: Think of it this way. If you make friends now you'll get a good reputation later down the line. I'm telling you buddy this is the start of a new image for you.

Shade seemed to brighten up at his friends supportive words.

Shade: Okay, but you're leading any conversations.

Jason chuckled at this and stopped his gaze.

Jason: You have a deal. Those girls look friendly… ...ish. We'll talk to them.

Shade turned his head to see two girls. A blond who seemed to be in a good mood and a short younger black haired girl who looked too young to be going to Beacon.

Shade: Um…

Before Shade continued a holographic projection of Glynda Goodwitch appeared in front of one of the windows before she began to speak over the airships speakers.

Glynda: Hello, and welcome to Beacon! My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future huntsmen and huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to present you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world.

The hologram disappeared. Jason seemed to become distracted with the view of Beacon from the window. Shade breathed a sigh of relief at not having to talk to anyone and joined his friend.

Shade: That, is a nice view.

Jason: No kidding. I think social interaction can wait, I want to enjoy this.

Jason said awestruck by the view. Behind him he heard someone groan in pain and rush past him. This was quickly followed by the sound of vomiting. Shade turned to see a blond boy vomiting into a bin.

Shade: I hope we land soon before the smell of vomit fills the ship.

Once the airship landed at the Beacon, the blond boy rushed out and immediately started throwing up into the nearest bin. Jason and Shade walked out and gazed in awe at their new surroundings. Shade pulled out his scroll and pulled up a short list.

Shade: Okay, so the entrance ceremony takes place in the main hall so we should…

Jason: Whoa whoa! Not so fast! Let's look around for a bit first, meet some people, make an impression you know?

Shade looked up from his scroll at Jason, then back at his scroll, then back at Jason again.

Shade: But we've already planned…

Jason: We've still got a good twenty minutes before we 'need' to be there. I think we can spare the time.

Shade looked down at his scroll one more time before sighing and putting it away.

Shade: Fine.

Jason gave a victory grin.

Jason: Great! Now let's see if we can find someone to…

Before Jason could finish his sentence he was bumped into from behind causing him to fall over.

Jason: Whoa!

He quickly pulled himself up and turned towards the cat eared girl on the floor. She had dropped a large number of books onto the floor.

Faunus girl: Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there!

She was frantically picking up the books off the ground. Without a second thought Jason started helping her.

Jason: Hey no worries. It was an accident.

He picked up the last book and handed it too her. She took it and gave him an apologetic smile.

Jason: I'm Jason Conduit, this is my best bud Shade.

He offered her a handshake. Shade simply gave a wave. She seemed unfazed by Shades appearance or 'dark aura' and happily shook Jason's hand.

Cait: I'm Cait, nice to meet you two.

She said giving a warm smile.

Jason: So what's with all the books?

Cait glanced at all the books in her hands.

Cait: Mostly just things to read in my spare time.

Jason: If you'd like we could help you carry them.

Cait gave a thankful smile and handed them a third of the books each.

Cait: Thank you so much! I was worried my back would go before I reached the entrance ceremony.

The three of them then walked towards the main hall. When they arrived Cait thanked them for helping her.

Cait: Hey thanks again for helping me. I really appreciate it.

Jason: You're welcome, see you around!

Cait smiled and took the rest of her books before merging into the crowd. Jason turned to Shade.

Jason: Well I'd say that was a good start.

Shade just nodded in response.

Jason: Now let's get this ceremony out of the way.

[Later that evening]

Jason wore a shirt and shorts as he laid on his sleeping bag. He sat up and looked over to Shade who wore long pants and no shirt revealing his dark skinned chest. He was sitting up and looking at his scroll.

Jason: So, first day. What are your thoughts?

Shade turned his head towards his friend.

Shade: I like it so far. Not really anything negative to say, yet.

Jason stood up from his sleeping bag and stretched.

Jason: Well it's great to see that you're happy so far. Let's see if we can keep this new record going.

Shade gave him an unamused look.

Jason: Well I'm gonna go for a nightly walk, you wanna join?

Shade: I'll pass, gonna check through tomorrow's schedule.

Jason jokingly rolled his eyes and started walking. He stepped outside before taking in the night air.

?: Nice to see I'm not the only person out here enjoying the night.

Jason turned to see a tall guy with gelled back, dark gold hair and sunglasses.

Jason: Are you… ...wearing sunglasses at night?

The tall guy chuckled at his question.

?: Yeah, I guess I am.

He sounded very cool and collected with each word.

Trance: The name's Trance.

He held out his hand offering a handshake. Jason accepted the handshake.

Jason: I'm Jason, nice to meet you.

They ended the handshake and stood around for a bit taking in the night air. Trance checked his scroll for the time.

Trance: And so the peaceful night may rest, along with those beneath it.

He said before turning towards the entrance of the main hall.

Trance: You seem like a cool guy Jason, see you around.

Jason returned to his own sleeping bag and laid down. Shade had already fallen asleep by the time he got back. As Jason was about to drift off to sleep when he heard the sound of bickering nearby. He looked over to see what was going on.

?: Oh, not you again!

?: Shh, guys she's right! People are trying to sleep!

?: Oh, now you're on my side!

?: I was always on your side!

Jason groaned loudly and laid back down trying to block out the argument.

Jason: I guess not everyone has had such a stellar first day.

[The Next Morning]

Everyone was getting ready for the entrance exam. Jason had put on his light plated silver armor and readied his duel weapons. Two short swords that could convert into a pair of revolvers. Shade had simply equipped his dark cloak and face mask. On his belt rest two weaponized sickles modified with multiple concentrated dust energy blaster ports. Basically turning them into submachine guns whenever the need arises.

Jason: So what's our plan for the whole teammates thing?

Shade: Don't worry about that. Just worry about who other possible teammates could be.

Shade began to look around at the other students getting ready. Examining each of them with rapid eyes.

Shade: The last thing we want is a team that's incompatible with us. For example, I heard Weiss Schnee was attending.

Jason winced at the mention of her name.

Jason: Okay, I see your point.

Shade glanced around until his eyes stopped on someone.

Shade: Isn't that Pyrrha Nikos.

Jason: Forget it Shade she'd only make us look weak. Besides it's not like we get to choose our own teams.

Shade grunted in disappointment. After they were both ready they moved towards the exit. Just as they were about to leave the blond boy who threw up on the airship was impaled into a locker by his hood right in front of them. Shocking them both.

Jason and Shade: Ah!

They turned to the person who did this only to see Pyrrha Nikos and Weiss Schnee. The very two people they had just talked about.

Pyrrha: I'm sorry!

Shade turned to the blond boy.

Shade: Did you deserve that?

Blond Boy: Maybe.

He spoke in a defeated tone. Shade grabbed the spear implanting the blond boy's hood into locker and tried to pull it out.

Shade: It won't budge.

Pyrrha and Weiss passed them to go to the exit and Pyrrha seemingly pulled the spear from the locker without even touching it. Leaving both Jason and Shade in slight disbelief. They then heard a voice from behind them.

?: Having some trouble there lady killer?

They turned to see the two girls they were going to talk to on the airship. The one in red reached down to help the blond boy off the ground.

Blond Boy: I don't understand. My dad said all women look for is confidence! Where did I go wrong?

Jason: Maybe when you tried hitting on a world renowned champion, and Weiss Schnee.

The blond girl turned towards Jason and Shade and gave a cocky grin.

Yang: I don't believe we've met. I'm Yang.

Jason smiled back at her.

Jason: Pleasure to meet you. I'm Jason and this is Shade.

Shade raised his hand in a greeting. By this point the small girl in a red hood was supporting the blond boy.

Yang: This is my little sister Ruby and our friend Jaune.

Ruby: Hi!

Jaune: Hey.

Jaune still sounded down.

Jason: We should all head to the cliff face, no doubt the entrance exam is about to begin.

The five of them then headed through the exit and arrived at the cliff. Everyone took positions on a launch pad before Professor Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch began to explain everything.

Ozpin: Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of 'teams'. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates… ...today. These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with 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.

Ruby: Whaaaat?!

Jason and Shade gave each other a quick nod.

Ozpin: After you've partnered up, make your way 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. You will be monitored and graded through the duration of your 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 to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?

Jaune: Yeah, um, sir?

Ozpin: Good! Now, take your positions.

With that Jason pressed a button on the back of his neck and a helmet unfolded around his head covering his whole face. He then unsheathed both of his swords and got into a crouching stance. Shade grabbed both of the sickels on his belt and took a simple standing position. Before long Jason was the first to be launched from the cliff. Quickly followed by Shade who left a trail of dark aura behind him as he flew.

As Jason approached the ground he extended both blades out as far as he could and started spinning. A glow of blue energy formed around him as the distance between him and the ground lessened. The moment before impact Jason stopped spinning and entered a stance indicating he was going to impale the ground with a sword. When he hit the ground a blast of blue energy emitted from him destroying everything around him and creating a small crater where he had landed. He looked up with a grin hidden beneath his helmet and pulled his sword from the ground. Without a second thought he then charged into the forest.

Shade had pushed his body forward during the flight making no attempt to move away from the approaching tree. Upon impact he disappeared into a cloud of dark aura. A shadow moved rapidly down to the bottom of the tree and he walked right out of it and safely onto the ground. He raised both sickels and held a steady aim at the shadows of the forest. After he confirmed the area was clear he began walking.

Jason stopped and crouched down behind a tree switching his blades their revolver forms. He peeked around the corner to see a pack of five Beowolves. He checked his weapons one last time before jumping around the tree and firing both revolvers once at two different enemies killing them both. Having now gotten their attention he switched his weapons back to blade form and sliced the closest Beowolf with both blades and kicked another that had charged him at the same time with a spin. He had killed three of the pack and turned to the last two. The one he had kicked looking especially angry. He readied a battle stance as they charged him. But before they could reach him Shade jumped down and used his Sickels to decapitate the heads off of both of them. Jason relaxed and deactivated his helmet. Jason offered a smile in appreciation.

Shade: We should head north. Ruins can't be too far.

Jason nodded in agreement and reactivated his helmet as they walked north.

[Back at the cliff face]

Glynda: Another pair has been formed. Jason Conduit and Shade Broker. Why am I not surprised?

Ozpin: It was too be expected. I doubt either of them would have accepted anyone else as their partners.

Ozpin then took a sip from his coffee.

Ozpin: The real question with them is who will end up on their team.

[End of Chapter]


So as of right now I've already done volume 1 and have moved onto volume 2. I do plan on checking through each chapter for spelling errors and the such before I post them.
