One Man Team. [RWBY Fanfiction - Yang Xiao Long LS]

Chapter Seven.

An overhead view of the Emerald Forest pans down into the misty underbrush, where Yang Xiao Long is walking and looking around. "Helloooooooo?" Yang calls out not seeing a shadow quickly pass by. "Is anyone out there? Helloooo?" she stops and raises her arms, "I'm getting bored here!" she says as she hears a rustling in the bushes behind her and turns. "Is someone there?" the rustling continues as Yang comes over and peaks inside, "Ruby? Shuiro, is that you?"

A low, inhuman growl is heard, and Yang's head rises up as she stares at the creature. "Nope!" she says popping the 'p' before she quickly rolls to the side as an Ursa charges out of the green. She gets up and activates her Ember Celica, staring at the monster before another Ursa runs out behind her. She leaps over it, and its companion runs at her again, only to get knocked back by a fiery punch. 

The other Ursa and Yang charge at each other, and Yang manages to get under it and deliver several punches and a kick to send the creature back. "You guys wouldn't happen to have seen a girl in a red hood, would you?" she ask but the Ursai merely growl at her, "You could just say 'no'." she jokes. One of the Ursai stands on its legs and swipes at her twice, Yang barely dodging the attacks.

Yang laughs lightly, "Geeeez, you two couldn't hit the broad side of a ba..." But before she can complete her insult, a single strand of her golden hair falls in front of her face and lands on the forest floor. "You..." Yang growls out as she closes her violet eyes, then opens them to reveal red, making the Ursai look at each other confusedly before Yang screams. "You monsters!!!" An inferno surrounds Yang for a moment, 

And then she rockets forward, unleashing a devastating combo of flaming hits and blows on the offending Ursa, making it fly through several burning trees. The other monster runs over, but stops short at Yang's gaze while a tree falls to the ground behind her. "What! You want some, too?!" she roars but the Ursa rears up and prepares to strike... right when a whirling noise is heard and the monster makes a befuddled noise,

Falling down a second later to reveal Blake Belladonna with her Gambol Shroud in the beast's back. Yang pants in exhaustion while Blake recalls the weapon back to her hand, sheathing it on her back and smiling to the side -or the readers, if she broke the fourth wall- Yang, now purple-eyed again, speaks to her new partner over the smoking remains of the monster. "I could've taken him."

Shuiro is walking fairly calmly through the forest, he can hear all the other students fighting or finding partners. It's kind of unnerving that Shuiro has yet to find a partner of his own. Coming to a large clearing Shuiro was getting bored, he had come across some Ursas and a few Beowolves but that was hardly a challenge. But he did take his time to get everything out of the fight he could before he got bored and just killed his opponent. 

Shuiro thought he'd go the rest of initiation without another fight when a pack of Beowolves raced towards him, he was willing and ready to fight but the raging fire that followed them made him turn on his heels and race off ahead of them.

Several moments earlier Weiss Schnee deflecting the swipe from a Beowolf with her Myrtenaster and getting pushed back into the middle of the beastly circle. She holds out her sword as she goes through her dueling motions and practices. Weiss thinks to herself, "Remember your training, Weiss. Head up, shoulders back, right foot forward — not that forward! — slow your breathing, wait for the right time to strike, and..."

She brings her rapier up, the revolver spins as she's ready to strike. "Now!" Weiss dashes forward with her loaded weapon at the Beowolf in front of her, just when Ruby suddenly appears between the two in a blur of rose petals and a swipe of her Crescent Rose scythe, landing a hit on the monster. "Gotcha!" Ruby cheers. Weiss widens her eyes and screams as she quickly has to stop,
