Plants vs Grimm (old version)

The initiation pt 1

(Authors note: welcome to another chapter and enjoy)

Third person Pov: location: the emerald forest: 

ruffling is heard as the Gardner stumbles out of a bush using his shovel like it was a machete, "note to self: when me and Dave get back, I'm throwing cold hard butter into that smug face" he grumbles before looking around at the clearing before sighing as remembered how he was sent careening off a cliff.

Third person Pov: flashback to Ozpins office: 

crazy Dave was the first to exit by gracefully stumbling out which was swiftly followed by a horde of plants with the Gardner then walking out in a more casual stance, "welcome Mr. Dave and....hmmm I never got your name" Ozpin said to our heroes as they approached, "please call me crazy Dave!" The pan wearing lunatic said in a polite if eccentric tone as Ozpin didn't show anything other than a subtle smile "very well then crazy Dave, you and your friend are here because I have a job offer, if you will" the Gardener raised an eyebrow and said "a job offer? From what I gathered down there I don't think where the ones you would hire beyond simple gardening, granted, you do need a Gardner, the hedges and flowerbeds down there are atrocious and I'm not even going to mention the poor tree" the neighbor said as his gardening skills kicked in, beacons "garden" down there was Haphazardly maintained at best and more than a few students figured it be the best place to throw party's or throw trash, when ruby showed him she was clearly embarrassed and he swore one of the sunflowers he brought along nearly passed out.

Glynda slapped her hand against her forehead as she muttered about something relating to a lazy janitor and hooligans pretending to be students, Ozpin winced and said "well that's part of offer, men of your skills would be useful in restoring it, but also to teach the students, from the tales I heard while you were bonding with teams RWBY and JNPR your clearly an expert in tactics and strategy" Ozpin said as the Gardner took in his words "hmmm well, besides those Grimm running around and the fact people are still alive and kicking, unlike the zombies I'm used too" he thought about it and it would be nice to be around other humans again that aren't crazy Dave, and then said "you know what I'll take your job offer" the Gardner said before also saying "as long crazy Dave and my plants here can stay with me" Ozpin simply said "of course however I do need a name and before you can join you'll have to do an initiation like the students and all staff members have to do" the Gardner simply nodded and was about to speak before pausing and his face contorted to confusion "huh, god, it's been so long sense I used my name that I forgot, the only people I've spoken too is Dave and my plants, I was always referred to as either Gardner, homeowner, or neighbor" he said in a bit of realization, Ozpin gave him a sympathetic look before saying "well till you remember, your still free to join, call yourself whatever feel like" Ozpin said as the Gardner nodded "the initiation starts in 2 hours" Ozpin finished.

what followed during those 2 hours was our heroes  using the local fuel known as dust, a mixture of fire and gravity dust to be exact, to get penny flying again and it worked, however turns out the combo was a little too strong, and the next 10 minutes involved a lot of screaming as crazy Dave tried valiantly to control her before they eventually made it to the house in the smoothest crash landing ever, needless to say, they underestimated how powerful dust it is, once back home they pack along as many plants are possible, with a better understanding about dust, the once wild ride was now much smoother and akin to a traditional drive in penny, they made it back in time with backpacks quipped, mallets ready, and plants ready for rooting, "good to see you made it in time, especially after your rather interesting flight performance" Ozpin said as the two time travelers stood ready "to complete the initiation you will head into the emerald forest and retrieve a relic, do not hesitate to destroy anything in the way" Ozpin finished as Glynda began to tap something's on a pad she was holding, the Gardner realized and asked "wait how are we supposed to-" and before he could finish he was sent careening though the air screaming followed shortly by crazy Dave who instead of screaming, shouted "WABI WABOOOO!" as he plummeted downward into the forest below.
