As you and everyone else made your way to the cliff, you notice the Nevermore closing in.

"Guys we need to speed up! That Nevermore is gaining on us and if we don't get these reli—."
Out of nowhere the Deathstalker from earlier is back on your tail.

"Oh crap run!" You hear Jaune yelling.

"Nora! Distract it!" Ren tells Nora.
Nora pulls out her grenade launcher and fires multiple rounds at the Nevermore, you all approach the bridge as the Nevermore makes a sweep down, destroying the bridge and splitting everyone up. You, Pyrrha, Ren and Blake versus the Deathstalker. While Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Nora and Jaune are on the other side, but right now, this Deathstalker is out for blood.

"Y/n, we need to break through it's armor!" Pyrrha is calling out.

"We don't have the weaponry!" You say back to her.

"Look for any weak points!" You tell everyone.

"Man we gotta get over there."

"Let's do this!" Nora says with excitement.

"Yeah, but I can't make that jump." Jaune looks down to the chasm below. Nora has this look in her eyes, she smacks him away with her grenade launcher as she morphs it into a massive hammer. She jumps off of the bridge, raising her hammer above her head.

"W-Woah wait!" Jaune begs before he's sent flying across the chasm. You Pyrrha and Ren are all dodging and fire your weapons, when all of a sudden..

"HRAAHGH!!" Nora comes flying over head and hits the Deathstalker pretty squarely right above it's eyes, however it almost countered, Nora dodges out of the way, but bumps into Blake.

"Blake!" You yell out, after a few seconds she is swinging through the air perfectly fine using her weapon's ribbon.

"We gotta move." Jaune says noticing the bridge is going to collapse soon. You all charge forward roaring a battlecry as Jaune and Pyrrha go first, The Deathstalker swipes at Pyrrha but she easily deflects it as her shield twangs in response to the attack, it then tries the other pincer, Jaune is there to back her up, so it only has on option left, it's stinger, but Ren is too quick for it and grapples it and rides it, doing great damage to the Deathstalker. Nora comes in from behind everyone else with you and you both open fire, Pyrrha and Jaune fall back, but you and Pyrrha see an opening, and you sync up, both launching your spears at great speeds into two of the Grimm's eyes merely pissing the thing off, so much so, that it throws Ren away and out of the fight.

"Ren!" Nora yells. Jaune notices that the damage Ren did has loosened the stinger and Jaune is letting everyone know.
"Pyrrha!" She sees it too.
"Done." She easily throws her shield thanks to her Semblance and the stinger is now embedded into the Deathstalker.

"Nora! Nail it!" Jaune looks at the energetic girl.

"Heads up." She says to Pyrrha, jumping onto her shield as Pyrrha jumps high into the air.
Boom. Nora is launched into the air, so high in fact you could barely hear her giggling at the peak. She comes down with a thunderous force that demolishes the Deathstalker and launches everyone else safely away from the bridge. As you and Pyrrha adopt some badass poses, Jaune, Nora and Ren fall less gracefully.

"Great job everyone!" You say as they all watch Ruby behead a Nevermore with ease.

"Wow.." You and Jaune say simultaneously.

Later at the ceremony...

"Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the the White Rook pieces, for this day forward you will work together as, Team JNPR." You look at Pyrrha who is grinning ear to ear.

"Led by, Jaune Arc!" Jaune is perplexed.

"Led by?"

"Congratulations young man." Ozpin tells him
Pyrrha is grinning even more now. She lightly punches his arm as he falls from the strike, she grows a slightly shocked face, but quickly returns to a smile.

"Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Yang Xiao Long, the four of you retrieved the White Knight pieces, from this day forward you will work together as, Team RWBY." You listen happily.

"Led by, Ruby Rose!" Your eyes widen. Weiss was furious, given her affinity for ice, it's a miracle she's steaming.

"I'm so proud of you!" Yang yelled out, jumping to hug her. Blake was smiling ear to ear.

Man that smile..

"Now I have one more announcement to make." All the student body is wondering what it is.

"Would (Y/n) Aspro please step forward?"
As you do Professor Ozpin begins to announce:

"(Y/n) Aspro retrieved the Grey Pawn piece. By retrieving this piece, (Y/n) Aspro has become the one man team that will go by (Y/n)'s last name. So, via this ruling, (Y/n) Aspro is the leader and only member of Team ASPRO."

You stand there utterly shocked and ecstatic you'll not be leaving Beacon, light filling your eyes.

Whew! Emerald Forest done! That took a bit but it was fun, Really glad I started to do this, I hope you're all having just as much fun, I hope I can improve my writing skills as well.
