You Stare into the Abyss, and the Abyss stares back.

Initiation

Sans P.O.V

It has been a day since I had gotten into beacon. It was rather interesting, since Ozpin had decided to recruit us to his school. I have no idea why he wanted to do such things in the first place. Maybe to get us to stop Salem, I don't know. What I do know about Salem is that, according to Ozpin, she had been around since the beginning of Remnant, and was once human, but something happened that caused her to change. He isn't telling me everything. I know there is more to the story. I have no idea what it is, though.

Right now, we are at a cliff for the initiation. I have to put my hood over my head to avoid my face being seen by anyone, even my family. Only my friends are allowed to see it. I was there with my group, along with a blue-haired girl with blue hands and blue vain-like markings all over her body. I sensed she is a Faunus. Another nature of my powers is that I can sense the biological, emotional, and spiritual energy, mainly, aura. The difference between a human and Faunus aura is that they are pure color, while Faunus' are a tainted color, as well as shape of their most notable feature. In this case, the blue-haired Faunus' aura is a tainted blue color, along with web formations, signifying a spider web. Which means that the Faunus is an arachnid Faunus.

Ozpin: "For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest. 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 with whom you can work well. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years. 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. 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 regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?

No hands were raised, obviously, none. Sans had been thinking of this in mind. 

'I hope that I can get to either Neo and Amber. I do like Emerald and Ilia, but I need to make sure to live up to my team name.'

'You may begin.'

3rd person view

Sans launched out first. Than Papyrus, than amber, than Neo, and than the others.

Sans had reached a certain distance to the point he spread his wings to glide and float down. Papyrus used his sword arm to stab into a tree, and lower himself down. Amber used her wind staff, and floated down. Neo...she just used her umbrella and glided down.

May swung on a tree. Emerald shoots down to slow her fall. Ilia used her whip to swing and land on her feet, and the arachnid Faunus used webs to make a parachute, and later stuck to the tree and crawled down.

Sans and Neo instantly looked eye to eye... awkward, considering that the initiation had just started. Sans picks up Neo bridal style goes deeper into the woods. Papyrus and Amber met while battling Grimm. May and Emerald we're able to find each other by using their voices at the source. Ilia...

Ilia P.O.V

I had been walking through the woods and been thinking of that girl. I know her. Her name is Trifa, a spider Faunus. She had worked for the White Fang. But...why in Remnant did she decide to come along here?

As I began to think about it, I had heard her voice from behind me.

"Ilia."

I turned and saw her upside down...in a web she had made like a rope.
