Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing Satsuki meeting some more characters along with the start of the Initiation Test. Not much else to say other than hop you enjoy the chapter. So, without further ado.

I own nothing

It wasn't long until Satsuki, Ruby and Blake arrived at the auditorium, finding it to be filled to the brim with new students.

"Ruby! Over here! I saved you a spot!"

Looking, Ruby saw her sister, Yang Xiao Long, waving at her.

"Hey, there's my sister! Come on, I'll introduce you!" Ruby said, while pulling Satsuki and Blake over to Yang, before either ravenette could say anything.

"Hey sis, who are your new friends?" Yang asked, while happy that Ruby had already made two new friends on her first day.

"Yang, these are Satsuki and Blake. Blake, Satsuki, this is my sister, Yang." Ruby introduced.

"Hello." Satsuki said.

"Hi." Said Blake.

"Hey, nice to meet you both. See Rubes, I told there's nothing to worry about, and you've already made two friends." Said Yang, with Ruby giving her an annoyed look.

"Yeah, after you ditched me, and I exploded!" Ruby said, while having a bit of a peeved tone in her voice.

"Yikes! Meltdown already?" Yang asked, not expecting her sister to freak out this soon.

"No, she means a literal explosion." Blake answered, having seen what happened.

"With Dust." Added Satsuki.

"Yeah, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school! And there was some fire, and I think some ice...?" Ruby trailed off, as she tried remembering the specific details.

"Are you being sarcastic?" Yang asked smiling widely, believing they were trying to mess with her.

"I wish! I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage, and then she yelled at me, and then I sneezed, and then I exploded! And then she was going to yell at me again, and I felt really, really bad, and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!" Ruby ranted, not seeing Weiss was standing right behind her.

"You!" Weiss shouted, as Ruby jumped up and landed in Yang's arms.

"Oh God, it's happening again!" Cried Ruby.

"Oh my God, you really exploded." Yang said with wide eyes.

"Told you." Satsuki and Blake said at the same time, making them look at each other again.

"Okay, look, I'll admit I…made a mistake, shaking that bottle of Dust in your face, and I apologize. But I will not tolerate people talking about me behind my back, got it?!" Weiss said, while glaring at Ruby, who nodded rapidly, and got out of Yang's arms.

"Look, uh, it sounds like you two just got off on the wrong footing. Why don't you start over, and try to be friends, okay?" Yang suggested, seeing that their first meeting was just a misunderstanding, and figured they could work things out.

"Yeah! Great idea, sis!" Ruby said, before looking at Weiss and held out her hand.

"Hello, Weiss! I'm Ruby! Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!" Said Ruby, while smiling widely.

'But we're already at Beacon.' Thought Satsuki, confused at Ruby's logic.

"Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys; like tall, blond, and scraggly over there!" Weiss said with sarcasm lacing her tone, while pointing at a blonde wearing armor.

"Hm?" The said blonde muttered, while perking up at hearing this.

"Wow, really?!" Ruby asked, surprised and happy, with the sarcasm going completely over her head.

"No." Stated Weiss with a deadpan expression, after seeing Ruby didn't get that she was being sarcastic.

"Well, that went great." Blake and Satsuki said sarcastically, once again looking at each other surprised, while also getting the other three girls' attention.

"…Are you positive you aren't sisters?" Ruby asked, feeling like they're now just messing with her, when they do that.

"Yes, I swear we aren't sisters." Said Satsuki, with Blake nodding in agreement.

"Well, if you both can stop doing that, we might actually believe you." Weiss commented, while looking between the two and noticing that they did have similar appearances, besides the few obvious differences.

"Yeah, it's kinda creepy." Added Yang, a little freaked out at how they could say the same thing at the same time.

The girls attention was then turned to the stage, where they saw Beacons Headmaster, Ozpin, tapping the microphone, getting everyone's attention.

"I'll...keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." Ozpin spoke, before stepping away as Glynda Goodwitch stepped up.

"You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed." Goodwitch said, before both teachers walked away, leaving the students to begin talking amongst themselves.

"He seemed kind of...off." Stated Yang.

"It's almost like he wasn't even there." Ruby added, feeling that even with Ozpin standing in front of them, it seemed like he was a hundred miles away.

'He sounded old, very old.' Thought Satsuki, now having a suspicion on who Ozpin might be.

"I'm a natural blond, you know!" Said the boy that Weiss had pointed, having also not heard the sarcasm in her voice, either.

Weiss sighed in exasperation and facepalmed.

"Hey, you're the guy who threw up on my shoes!" Yang said, recognizing who he was and glared at him as her eyes turned red, while the guy paled at her glare.

"Oh gee, look at the time, I just remembered I had something to do!" He said, before running away.

Growing up with seven sisters, he knew if he stuck around an angry girl, things would be very bad for his health.

*Later*

After everyone arrived at the ballroom and got a sleeping bag, Satsuki, Blake, Yang and Ruby had all placed theirs near each other's, before getting changed into their pajama's.

Ruby was currently writing in her journal, Blake was reading a book, and Satsuki laying down, looking up at the ceiling.

"It's like a big slumber party!" Yang stated, crashing down beside Ruby, while disturbing the two ravenettes.

"I don't think Dad would approve of all the boys, though." Ruby replied, knowing their father would freak out if he saw his daughters around so many boys.

"I know I do!" Yang purred as she eyed several shirtless boys, only to gag when she saw the blonde from earlier wearing footie pajamas of all things.

Banishing those disturbing thoughts, Yang looked at Blake and Satsuki.

"What about you two? See anything you like?" Yang asked, smirking, with the two ravenette's glancing at the guys with bored and uninterested looks.

"Meh." Blake said, before going back to her book.

"I'm a lesbian." Stated Satsuki.

Though granted, Satsuki knew she wasn't a natural one. But after having to deal with fanboys for several years in Konoha, with a few being far too touchy-feely for her taste, not to mention having to deal with Orochimaru and his subordinates for three years, along with several other factors. Satsuki was just completely turned off from the opposite gender.

It was only solidified with how Naruto had been creeping her out during recent times. Despite knowing how much her former Teammate cherished the bond with his friends, and especially her since she was the first of his age group to acknowledge him. Hell, she defected from Konoha to join the guy who killed his surrogate Grandfather, and jabbed a Chidori though his chest, to his knowledge at least. And yet, he still chased after her, despite all of that. It's almost like Naruto wasn't even human, with how he seems to shut out the things he doesn't agree with, just to live in his own little world.

Though Orochimaru did tell her of Jiraiya's dreams of peace and belief of a Child of the Prophecy, which the Toad Sannin no doubtfully passed onto Naruto. And given how Naruto was already ignorant and naïve, or just flat out in denial, about certain things regarding the Shinobi World. Having those beliefs and ideals shoved into his head for two-and-a-half-years, without having another role model present to counterbalance them, might not have been the best thing for him.

Hearing Satsuki openly admit her sexual orientation surprised the girls, but they just shrugged it off, as none of them were going to judge her for it. Given how they were bisexual themselves, at least Yang and Blake knew they were, since Ruby had always been more focused on weapons, along with her own social awkwardness.

But after that, the four descended into an awkward silence, since none of them really sure what to say next.

"So…Blake, what's your book about?" Ruby asked, wanting to break the silence.

"Well... i-it's about a man with two souls, each fighting for control over his body." Said Blake, surprised that Ruby asked about her book.

This caught Satsuki's attention, remembering what the God of Darkness and Ozma's ability to reincarnate into different people.

"They shouldn't fight each other." Satsuki said, getting their attention and making the Uchiha clarify her words.

"For control of the body, they shouldn't fight each other. It would be better if they learned to coexist and work together, given they both share the body. But if they continuously fought for control, they could only end up doing more harm to themselves, until they either ended up destroying the body or they simply lost who they were originally, leaving behind something that didn't know what it was anymore." Satsuki explained, as Blake, Ruby and Yang looked in surprise at the wisdom of her words.

"That's, surprisingly mature." Said Blake, not expecting to hear something like that, from someone her age.

Satsuki shrugged, since she had needed to become more mature after the massacre. Plus, after learning the truth behind the massacre, she had started to learn to see things from a different point of view, rather than just accepting things as they seemed.

"Well, we should get some sleep, given it's going to be a long day tomorrow." Satsuki said, while laying down.

Nodding in agreement with the Uchiha, Ruby, Yang and Blake laid down as well, with the latter blowing out her candle.

*Next Morning*

Satsuki sat with her new friends in the cafeteria, as they all had breakfast. Though Satsuki couldn't help but glance at a table, where a girl with orange hair was both simultaneously talking with her friend and scarfing down literal towers of pancakes. It reminded her of whenever Naruto would eat bowl after bowl of ramen without pause, except Satsuki felt this girl was eating even faster than he ever could.

'Well, now I just need to see a flying pig, and I will have officially seen everything.' Satsuki thought, while rolling her eyes in amusement.

"Hey Satsuki, Blake, what kind of weapons do you use?" Ruby asked, having been curious of the type of weapons they used.

"I use a chokuto sword, that allows me to conduct electricity. Electrokinesis is my Semblance." Satsuki answered, while adding the latter part after seeing their questioning looks.

"I have a sword that turns into a pistol and a sickle. The sheathe also has an edge, so I can dual wield." Said Blake.

"What about you two, what weapons do you have?" Satsuki asked, knowing from what she's learned, there can be some pretty crazy weapon designs in Remnant.

Personally, Satsuki was fine with just her regular sword.

"I have shotgun gauntlets, though I'm still strong without them." Yang said, smirking, remembering when she sent Junior flying with just a punch.

"I have my baby, Crescent Rose, a High-Caliber Sniper Scythe!" Ruby said proudly, always eager to talk about her precious weapon.

"A scythe? How did you learn to use one?" Satsuki asked, knowing that scythes are an incredibly difficult weapon to use, even more so if it was also rifle, that'd have some serious recoil.

"Our Uncle Qrow taught me. I was complete garbage before he trained me, but now I'm all like, Hyah!" Ruby said, while throwing several punches.

'Qrow, Qrow Branwen?' Satsuki wondered, having looked up some of the current and well-known Huntsmen, with Qrow being among them.

Qrow was one of the most well-known for his skill with a scythe, with Satsuki having even heard people call him "The Second Coming of the Reaper", after another famous scythe user, "The Grimm Reaper".

To learn Ruby and Yang were his nieces was surprising, and made Satsuki wonder how skilled they were.

"He-Hello." Someone said, nervously.

Looking, the girls saw it was the blonde from yesterday, the same one that Yang got angry at.

"Hey, you're the guy who threw up on the ship." Ruby said, making the boy's head dropping, before looking at Yang nervously.

"Uh, you're not still angry about the shoes, are you?" He asked, nervously.

"Eh, you're forgiven, they weren't one of my favorites, anyway." Said Yang, shrugging, as the guy relaxed, knowing he wasn't in immediate danger.

"Cool, cool. Is it alright if I sit with you?" He asked, with the girls nodding, not seeing a problem if he joined them.

"Sure, I'm Ruby Rose, this is my sister Yang, and these are Satsuki and Blake." Ruby introduced, as he sat down.

"Well, the name's Jaune Arc! Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue - ladies love it!" Jaune introduced.

"Do they really?" Ruby asked skeptically.

"Your mother told you that, didn't she?" Stated Satsuki, making Jaune open and close his mouth, before slumping forward.

"Hello!" Said someone else, getting their attention.

The group saw it was a redhead girl, dressed in Amazonian styled armor, and sporting a big smile.

"Hi, I'm guessing you want to join, as well." Said Satsuki, as the redhead's smile became sheepish.

"Yes, actually, if it's not too much trouble." She said.

"Sure, the more the merrier!" Ruby said, starting to become more open, after seeing she was able to make friends here at Beacon.

"Thank you. My name is Pyrrha, I also heard you all introduce yourselves, sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop." Pyrrha said apologetically, which they just waved off.

"Pyrrha? As in Pyrrha Nikos, winner of the Mistral Regional Tournament, four years in a row." Blake said, after taking a moment to recognize who Pyrrha was.

"Uh, yes, that's me." Said Pyrrha, feeling sad that they've recognize her.

"Oh yeah, we watched your match last year on T.V." Yang said, recognizing Pyrrha as well, with Ruby nodding.

Pyrrha nodded slowly and waited for the inevitable of them recognizing who she was. But instead, nothing happened, they all just continued eating and made small talk. It surprised Pyrrha, but also relieved her that they weren't acting differently, with her around.

"The what now?" Jaune asked, not understanding the big deal of who she was.

"The Mistral Region Tournament for young Huntsmen and Huntresses. She was top of her classes at Sanctum Academy. And she's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box." Blake listed, when Jaune kept looking at her confused, before gasping at the last one.

"That's you?! But they only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters!" Jaune said, looking at Pyrrha and imagining the cereal box around her.

'Seriously? That's the one he recognizes?' Satsuki deadpanned, but was also interested in hearing all of Pyrrha's accomplishments, minus the cereal box one.

"Yeah, it was pretty cool. Sadly, the cereal isn't very good for you." Pyrrha replied, smiling.

"Hey Pyrrha, when we get the time, would you be up for a spar?" Satsuki asked, wanting to see just how strong the Mistral girl is.

Though Satsuki will of course hold back, knowing if she went all out, she could likely defeat most of the students here, at the same time.

This surprised Pyrrha at being asked to spar, when most would be intimidated at the idea of going against her. But ultimately, she nodded and smiled.

"Sure, it sounds like fun." Pyrrha replied, as it'd be good to have just a normal spar for once.

*Later*

Once they had all finished their breakfast, the group went to gather their weapons, before heading to the Cliff to begin their Initiation.

Satsuki raised a brow, when Ozpin had them all standing on square metal platforms, near the cliffside.

'I have a bad feeling about this.' Satsuki thought, knowing that whatever happens next, she likely won't enjoy it.

"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 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 revealed, with Ruby wincing at hearing they'll 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, whom you can work well with. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing, will be your partner for the next four years. However, due to the uneven amount of students this year, there will be one group of three partners. You will all be given special wristbands that will light up green telling, telling your when three students have partnered up." Ozpin explained, as Goodwitch handed the students the wristbands.

"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." Said Ozpin ominously, with Jaune laughing nervously at hearing this.

"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. We will then regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?" Ozpin asked, while looking at them all.

"Yeah, um, sir?" Jaune said, while holding up his hand.

"Good! Now, take your positions." Said Ozpin, ignoring Jaune.

Looking, Satsuki saw everyone getting into stances, either to run and jump off the cliff, or…like they're about to go flying.

'Oh, that cheeky motherfucker.' Satsuki thought, when she saw Weiss's tile suddenly send her flying into the air.

"Uh, sir? I've got, um... a question. So, this landing... strategy thing... Uh, wha-what is it? You're, like, dropping us off, or something?" Jaune asked.

"No. You will be falling." Ozpin stated, while maintaining his poker face.

"Oh, uh, I see... So, like, did you hand out parachutes for us?" Questioned Jaune, missing as more students that were sent flying through the air.

"No. You will be using your own "landing strategy."" Ozpin replied.

"Uh-huh...Yeah." Muttered Jaune.

Sighing, Satsuki tapped Jaune on the shoulder getting his attention. The blonde only had enough time to see Satsuki waving, before she too was launched into the air, making his eyes go wide eye.

"Oh no." Jaune said, before immediately screaming as he joined the other students flying through the air.

So, what did you think, good. Yep Satsuki has now met Yang, Jaune, and Pyrrha along with something different happening before the Initiation Test, with it now being there will be a group of three partners, which will also lead to slightly different teams. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.

Storm out
