The Genetic Rose(Discontinued)

Initiation

Ruby and Pyrrha made it to the cliff side, and Ruby stood at the ready. She had seen the initiation, and often times helped Students who weren't paying attention to their surroundings. She knew they were in experienced, but she just didn't want anyone to suffer a loss like she did.

"For years," said Ozpin, "you have trained to become warriors. And today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."

"Now," said Glynda, "I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about 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 at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well. That being said, the person you make first eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."

"See, I told you," said a ginger haired girl.

"After you've partnered up," continued Ozpin, "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."

Hope I don't get a racist partner, said Ruby.

"You will be monitored and graded for 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 much choose one, and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?"

"Yeah, um, sir-" said Jaune.

"Good," said Ozpin, "Now, take your positions."

"Um, sir, don't we get parachutes?" asked Jaune.

"No, you will be using a landing strategy," said Ozpin.

"Okay, what is a landing strate-GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Ruby just lifted herself up, and flew off.

She looked all over, and then spotted Weiss.

Ruby then noticed that she was just standing there, trying to prefect her stance.

Ruby then zipped down, and blocked a Beowulf from behind Weiss.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! demanded Ruby, YOU HAVE NO TIME TO PREFECT A BATTLE STANCE! ENEMIES WILL JUST ATTACK YOU ON SIGHT IF YOU JUST STAND THERE!

Ruby then used Psychic to pick up the Beowulves, and slam them into each other, and used Shadow Ball quickly.

"You attacked out of turn!" said Weiss.

Ruby grabbed her, and lifted her off the ground.

Listen well, and listen good! snapped Ruby, THIS is NOT time to ass around! Who told people take turns fighting!?

Weiss tried to come up with something, but Ruby said, THIS is the real world! They're not going to give you time to get ready! So, you need to be ready! Tell you what, after classes, I'll help you, if you want.

Weiss then said, "Thank you, but I don't need it."

Suit yourself, said Ruby, Now, get ready. I'll get us to the temple soon.

"How?"

I can fly.

Ruby then lifted Weiss up, and took off.

Meanwhile, Yang was in the woods, looking for a partner.

"HELLO?! RUBY!? YOU HERE!?"

Just then, a rustling in the brush, and she looked in it.
