A/N: so I'm having so much fun with my other RWBY story I decided to do some more, ok enjoy the story
Ozpin sat up in his office at the top of the Beacon Academy and sipped his coffee while looking out at the Emerald Forest, but his peace was interrupted by a call from Glynda GoodWitch, his assistant and one of the educators at the academy. "Sir?" Glynda said as her face appeared on a hologram display on Ozpin's desk. "Yes, Glynda?" Ozpin replied. "I've just received word that there have been several attacks on farm animals by some... humanoid creature in the Emerald Forest." Glynda explained. "Hmmm... do they know what it is?" Ozpin asked. "No, many people in the village have seen it but never gotten a good look. The basic description is something that from the waist up is human and from the waist down is a snake." Glynda explained. "Interesting, I'll send some students to check it out. Is it dangerous?" Ozpin asked. "Possibly, whatever it is it seems to avoid humans as much as possible, though a skin sample was found so they can probably track it." Glynda said. "Interesting, bring me the skin sample and I'll call team RWBY, to my office." Ozpin replied. "Right away sir." Glynda said as the hologram of her disappeared. Ozpin pressed a button so his voice would be heard on the loud speaker "Would team RWBY please report to the headmaster's office. Team RWBY report to my office please." Ozpin said into the loudspeaker. Glynda showed up moments later and the two waited for Ruby and her teammates to show up.
"I wonder what Ozpin needs from us." Ruby said as she and her team walked to the elevator that would take them to Ozpin's office. "Maybe someone caught Yang peeking into the boy's locker room again." Blake said. Yang blushed slightly "Hey I haven't done that since two days ago!" Yang said defensively. "Well, We'll know when we get up there." Weiss said with her arms crossed.
The four of them walked into Ozpin's office all clad in their battle outfits "Hey, headmaster, what do you need us for?" Ruby asked. "Well we've recently had a lot of reports of what appears to be a half human half snake creature steeling animals from farms near the Emerald Forest." Ozpin explained. "Wow really?" Ruby asked curiously. "Yes, and I want you girls to see what it is." Ozpin said. "Do you want us to kill it?" Blake asked. "No, I want you to see if it's intelligent, if it is bring it back here so I can have a chat with it. If it's some new form of grimm, then kill it." Ozpin explained. "Okay but how are we supposed to track it?" Ruby asked. "Miss GoodWitch and I thought of that and we've devised a plan." Ozpin said looking back at Glynda.
"You see a skin sample was found at one of the farm houses, where the creature had been. And using the DNA from the skin sample we've made this..." Glynda said as she pulled out a small device with what looked like a compass on the screen. "What is it?" Yang asked. "It's a device that will scan the environment in a ten kilometer range and find whatever has a matching DNA signature to whatever you're looking for." Glynda explained before handing the device to Ruby. "So we can use this to find the thing we're looking for?" Ruby asked. "Yes, now..." Ozpin said before pulling up a map with a red dot in a place that was about nine miles from the school. "This is where the creature was last seen so, that's your best place to start looking." Ozpin said pointing at the dot. "We've arranged for transport to meet you outside the school and take you there." Glynda said. "Alright then, we're off." Ruby said as she placed the device in her pocket and led the group back to the elevator. "Be careful..." Ozpin whispered.
The group made their way to the exit of the school where a carriage was waiting for them, it was pulled by two horses and looked like it was made to carry at least eight people. "Ugh, come on they couldn't get a car or something." Weiss whined. "You're welcome to walk all nine miles to the village." Ruby said as she climbed up into the carriage. Weiss groaned as she and the others climbed up into the carriage which took them back to the village where the creature they were looking for was last seen.
They arrived at the small town where a man dressed in a plaid sweater, a pair of jeans, and boots waited for them "Hello, I presume you're the ones who Ozpin sent to take care of that strange creature." The man said as the four of them climbed off of the carriage "Yeah, are you here to show us where it was?" Ruby asked. "Yes, follow me." The man ordered. The girls followed the man around the back of a small farm house "So my sheep were out here grazing last night." The man explained. "You let your animals graze at night?" Ruby asked. "Some times yes, anyway I heard the sound of bone breaking at all of the other sheep run out in a panic. I got worried because I thought there was a wolf or something going after them so I grabbed my shotgun and ran out." The man explained. "Okay then what?" Yang asked. "Well I saw something that looked like a man with really long messy hair dragging one of my sheep off into the forest." The man said pointing to a spot beyond a small fence. "Okay well don't worry we'll take care of it." Ruby said as she and the rest of the team walked over to where the man pointed.
Ruby pulled out the device that Glynda had given her and a red dot appeared on the screen showing that they needed to move forward "Alright let's go." Ruby said with a shrug. The four of them spent at least an hour walking through the woods looking for the creature that Ozpin had sent them after. Weiss had spent a vast majority of that time complaining about what the dirt, mud, thorns, etc. that they were forced to walk through was doing to her clothes. Finally the group came to a clearing next to a river, on one side of the clearing there was a pile of animal bones, and some wool, on the other side there was a large chunk of skin that some massive reptile had shed, which was haphazardly thrown onto a dead thorn bush. "So it seems we found where this thing lives..." Blake said. "But where is it?" Yang asked.
Seconds later they all heard rustling in the leaves behind them "Hide!" Ruby whispered quickly. The four of them each bolted to a different hiding place in seconds; Yang and Ruby hid up in a tree and they prayed that whatever this thing was wouldn't notice them. Blake hid in a bush a little further away from the pile of bones, and Weiss; thinking quickly just darted behind the nearest tree. Seconds later they all saw what looked like a guy who was about seventeen years old move toward the river but in place of legs he had a large serpentine tail that was at least ten feet long; the tail was gray with blue scales that formed a diamond pattern up his tail, each of those diamonds was surrounded by white scales, the underside of his tail was white and smooth, his skin (that wasn't reptilian) was very fair, he seemed to be relatively muscular, he had a scar across his chest that seemed to have come a set of four claws, his arms looked like they were slightly longer than the average person, and at the tip of each of his fingers was a claw.
His long, gray, unkempt, oily hair extended down to his waist and by the look of it he'd never cleaned or cut that hair in his life. He had chiseled facial features, pointed ears, he had yellow eyes with serpentine pupils and over his right eye there was another scar from possibly a blade of some kind. He slithered his way over to the pile of bones and began to gag and cough loudly only a couple feet away from Blake. He kept gagging and coughing for about thirty seconds before he a large number of bones, and yellow fluid came pouring out of his mouth. Once he finished he wiped the remaining bile from his mouth and looked forward and quickly noticed Blake hiding in the bushes. And in mere moments he lifted Blake up off the ground by her ankle as if she weighed nothing "What are you doing here?!" He demanded showing his large fangs. "Oh no!" Ruby whispered. Ruby and Yang jumped out of the tree and Weiss came out from behind the tree she was hiding behind.
"Put her down!" Ruby demanded. The snake person turned to face Ruby who had crescent rose out and ready "Who are you?! Why are you in my home?!" He demanded still holding Blake up. "Put Blake down first and we'll explain." Ruby replied. The snake person dropped Blake onto the ground with a loud thud "We were sent here by Beacon Academy, our headmaster wants to speak with you." Ruby explained. He went silent and crossed his arms "Will you come with us?" Ruby asked. The snake person thought for a moment "Alright, I will go with you to see your 'headmaster.'" He said after deliberating for a short time. "Okay, let's get back to Beacon then." Yang said. "Let's just hope the town's people don't go crazy when they see him." Blake said as she got up and dusted herself off. "With the way he looks I won't be surprised if they do." Weiss said rolling her eyes. "That was just uncalled for." Blake said putting her hands on her hips. "Whatever let's just get back to Beacon ASAP." Weiss said as she began to walk through the forest. "By the way, what's your name?" Ruby asked. "Amaru." The snake person replied as he slithered through the forest with them.
The five of them went over to the town, having barely encountered any Grimm, and the few small ones that they did see all turned tail and ran at the sight of Amaru. When they got to town the farmer from before stared at Amaru with his jaw practically on the ground "I thought you said you were going to kill that thing." The farmer said stunned. "Well we were sent to find him and bring him back to Beacon, so thanks for your help, bye." Ruby said as she and the others climbed back into the carriage. The driver was very skeptical of Amaru as the glanced back at him repeatedly throughout the ride, fearing Amaru may try to eat him or something. Throughout the ride Yang looked closely at Amaru's body as he laid in the back of the carriage with his tail coiled under him. Relaxing as the sun hit his skin.
The group reached Beacon quickly and the girls lead Amaru to Ozpin's office but pretty much anyone who saw him gave some kind of stare or murmured a comment about his appearance to their friends. "Sir, we're back." Ruby said as the group exited the elevator to Ozpin's room. "Oh good and the creature?" Ozpin asked facing the back window of his office. "I'm right here." Amaru said. Causing Ozpin to spin around quickly "Oh... a naga, I haven't seen one of your kind a long time." Ozpin said. "What's a naga?" Blake asked. "A very rare species of faunus, very seldom seen any more." Ozpin explained. "Get to the point, please." Amaru said as he crossed his arms again. "Well that was rude..." Weiss said. "Girls, please wait outside. I'll call you back in when Mister... oh I never got your name." Ozpin said looking at Amaru. "My name is Amaru." He said. "Okay, I'll call you back when Amaru and I are finished here." Ozpin said. "Alright, see ya soon." Ruby said as they all left.
"Now, Amaru the reason I sent them after you is I am wondering if you'd like to attend Beacon Academy." Ozpin explained as he pulled up a chair in front of his desk. Amaru quickly figured out the chair was for him so he sat down and let his tail extend behind the chair. "Why is that?" Amaru asked curiously. "How long have you lived alone in the Emerald Forest?" Ozpin asked. "Uhh... hard to say, I'd say about nine maybe ten years." Amaru said. "You survived ten years alone in a forest infested with Grimm, I think you'd make a wonderful addition to our student body." Ozpin said taking a sip of his coffee. "Alright what's the catch?" Amaru asked. "Well to enter the school you need to perform the initiation like all other students." Ozpin explained. "What does that entail?" Amaru asked. "Entering into the Emerald Forest and retrieving a relic though I will have a team of students keep an eye on you, when you finish." Ozpin explained.
Amaru thought for a moment "Alright, I'll stay here for a while but if I don't like it I get to return to my home no questions asked." Amaru said. "You've got yourself a deal." Ozpin said as he reached out his hand expecting Amaru to shake it. Amaru just looked at him confused and Ozpin lowered his hand seconds later, "But first thing's first, you're going to need to get cleaned up, can't go to a school like ours looking so dirty." Ozpin said. "Alright then, where do I go for that?" Amaru asked. "I'll call my assistant and she'll take you where you need to go." Ozpin explained as he pressed a button to call Glynda.
A few minutes later Glynda showed up and lead Amaru out of the room, once they had left. Ozpin called Ruby and her team back "So what's going to happen?" Ruby asked. "Well Amaru and I had a chat and now he's going to go through the same initiation you did." Ozpin explained "So he's gonna join Beacon, sweet!" Ruby said. "But where was Miss GoodWitch taking him?" Blake asked. "Oh, I asked her to take him to freshen up; you know, get his hair cut and cleaned, and of course get him a shirt, et cetera." Ozpin explained. "So where will he be staying?" Ruby asked. "Well since you four were the ones to bring him back here, when he finishes the initiation you four will he keeping an eye on him." Ozpin explained. "WHAT?!" Weiss shouted. "Oh yay we get to room with a guy. And a cute one too." Yang said clapping her hands. "This should be interesting." Ruby said. "Yeah I've never really met a naga before." Blake said sharing Ruby's excitement.
Amaru and Glynda returned within the next half hour but Amaru looked very different, his hair was cut so that it was only chin length, and was neatly combed and free of any vermin or twigs, all of the dirt and mud on his body had been cleaned off, and he was now wearing a black long-sleeve shirt which had a pocket on the chest. He returned to Ozpin's office with Glynda and sat down again as Ozpin began to explain the way that the initiation would work.
A/N: so this is a pretty rough chapter but I'm pleased with how it came out, I hope you enjoyed reading it. But updates will be slow as I'm working on several stories at a time
