Everyone met at the cliff, and they were told to stand on the metal platforms on the ground. It took Rex and Anakin a second but they figured out that they were launch pads much to Anakin's amusement and Rex's growing dread. Ozpin was giving everyone the details along with Glenda.

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

"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams." Glenda informs. "Well, let us put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates... Today."

Upon this Ruby began complaining to herself as Ozpin continued the explanation "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." At this Rex looks to Anakin who looks nervous. "That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."

"What?!?" Anakin and Ruby shout in unison with a sound coming in. Did I just Hear glass shattering. Rex thought

Pancake Girl looks to the kid in green before saying "See? I told you."

Ozpin continues to explain Initiation. "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 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 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?"

Jaune and Rex start to raise their hands as Jaune starts to ask "Yeah, um sir?"

"Good! Now, take your positions."

I'm starting to get worried. I can't survive a fall like this! Rex thought."Um Sir? I've got a question." Rex states. Student's start getting launched one by one.

Jaune interrupts "So, this landing strategy thing, uh, w-what is it? You're, like dropping us off or something?"

"No. You will be falling." Ozpin assures taking a sip from his mug.

Rex continues. "Uh, Sir? I can't survive a fall at this height"

"You'll be fine, just devise your own landing strategy." Ozpin says with a bored expression. Rex looks over to Anakin. He just gives a smirk and a two finger salute as he's launched.

"What do you MEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!?!!!" Rex got launched during his question. Here I am souring through the air. Never thought I'd die like this. Rex thought. Then again I guess I should be used to this by now.

Rex was interrupted from his thoughts of dying as his leg got grabbed by something, liquid? He is then pulled down slowly till he is on the ground, laying flat on his back. He just stares up at the sky. A girl leans into view as she begins to speak.

"Are you ok?" She asks with worry visible on her face. She has long blond hair with a blue flower. She wear's a light blue t-shirt with a white long sleeve jacket and jeans. Her eyes baby blue, and her skin pale.

"Uh, Yeah. Just... a little shook up is all." She seems to accept this and offers her hand to help Rex up, which he gladly accepts. Once he's up Rex figures he should introduce himself seeing as this is now his teammate "The names Rex."

"Lilly." She introduces.

Back at the launch pads, just before everyone is launched Anakin feels a little bit of pity for Rex. "No. You will be falling." I'm sure Rex will figure something out. Anakin thought
