Warning, don't try to read Nora's explanation I put it in the Author's Thoughts with the spaces.
Also I decided to add the reason Noir is called the Demon of Signal here but it's kinda graphic. |
"Graylit provide cover fire, Hayate hold them back, and Twilight anything that gets past Hayate, you take out," I instruct.
"What about you?" Hayate asks.
"I'm going to use my Glyphs," I answer. "Now go!"
Hayate runs ahead, Graylit climbs up a tree, and Twilight fades into the darkness. I take a deep breath and try to attempt a summon.
'Uh~ Dest how do I summon someone with my Glyphs?' I ask.
{Easy just imagine the person your summoning,} He answers. {The Glyphs should take care of the rest.}
'Sounds simple enough,' I tell him as I closed my eyes to try to imagine an ally.
The image of a short blond hair boy with a braid and ahoge and golden eyes wearing all black flashed through my mind so I went with it. A red coat, black boots, and white gloves were added to the mix. Then it hit me I was summoning the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric. A white Glyph formed and the image in my mind rose up however, instead of the regular white and blue appearance the Schnee's summons take he was regular colored except his coat had purple lines on it.
"Ursa meet the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric," I say with smiling. "Guys I'm done so just attack without holding back."
Edward immediately turned his arm into a blade and attacked. I felt about 1% of my Aura drained to sustain him. I stomped to blast myself toward the pack and joined in the chaos. Grimm in front of me kept dying to arrows from Graylit, sudden spikes from the ground by Edward, and both the blades from Twilight and Hayate. So I decided to go smack dab in the middle of the pack. Once I reached what felt like the middle of the pack I stopped by killing a Grimm by punching it in the face and firing from my gauntlet. The recoil sent me toward the ground, but I landed on my hands and spunt around. As I spun I released shots from my boots, killing several more Grimm.
{Good choice, in terms of crowd control, Edward Elric can handle multiple enemies in any environment,} Dest tells me.
'Oh really? I totally didn't know that,' I say sarcastically.
We quickly killed the large group of Ursa with relative ease and Edward dispersed as soon as the last one was killed. So we walked toward the bridge where the others were. Unsurprisingly, they were done as well.
"Sweet, you guy's are done too!" I exclaim.
"Yeah, we just need to get Ruby down," Yang tells us. "She looked down the cliff and now she's scared."
"How'd she even get up there in the first place?" Hayate asks.
"She killed the Nevermore by getting shot up the cliff with Weiss's glyphs and cutting it's head off," Blake answers.
"Cool, hey Jaune how did your team kill your Grimm?" Twilight asks cheerfully.
"We-," Jaune began but was interrupted by Nora.
"JaunetoldPyhrratocutoffit'sstingerandthestingerfellontoit'sselfsoJaunehadmeblastmyselfoffofhissheildandIhitthesingerthroughit," Nora explains. "So how did you guys beat your Grimm?"
"Noir summoned a person who somehow made the environment work against the Grimm and for us," Graylit tells them. "Yet before that Noir did assign us positions, me in a tree with Twilight stopping any Grimm that get too close, Hayate and that summon in front of use reducing the amount that Twilight had to deal with, and Noir himself in the middle of the pack keeping the focus off of us."
"Wait, you said he summoned a person?" Weiss asks. "That's impossible only Schnee's can summon and besides isn't his semblance, Black Rose Petal Burst? A person can only have one semblance."
"Actually I have two," I respond. "Like my sister I have Rose Petal Burst as a semblance yet my petal are able to drain, but my other semblance, Imagination Glyphs, works like the Schnee's family semblance yet it relies heavily on my imagination to summon."
"That's impossible!" Weiss exclaims.
"Just because you haven't seen something doesn't make it impossible," I say while summoning a small bird to fly around her head. "Anyway, how are we going to get Ruby down?" Graylit asks bringing our attention to the problem at hand.
"She'll be okay, remember we all were at least that high while on the Nevermore's back," I say. "She just needs to- a~nd there she goes."
Ruby jumped off the cliff while I was talking, and used her semblance to turn into rose petals so she doesn't hit the ground and turn into a pancake.
"I meant to ask this earlier, Noir," Hayate says. "How does it feel to turn into rose petals?"
"In a word, weird," I answer. "Your consciousness is split into hundreds of thousands of different pieces just to control the petals."
Everyone shudders at the thought of their conscious splitting as Ruby walked up towards us.
"What's everyone shuddering about?" Ruby asks me.
"I told them what's it like turning into rose petals," I tell her.
"Don't remind me," Ruby says. "Definitely not my favorite part of the semblance."
"I thought your least favorite part was getting rose petals everywhere?" I ask in a joking tone.
"Okay, Okay, second least favorite part," Ruby says while playfully punching my shoulder. "Well at least we're officially students of Beacon now."
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it," I say wistfully.

"Cardin Winchester, Russell Thrush, Dove Bronzewing, and Sky Lark, you have collected the black bishop pieces," Ozpin says to four boys. "You shall form Team C.R.D.L.(Cardinal) lead by Cardin Winchester."
Team CRDL walked off of the stage and was replaced by Jaune's team.
"Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren, and Pyhrra Nikos, you have collected the white rook pieces," Ozpin announces. "You shall form Team J.N.P.R(Juniper) lead by Jaune Arc."
Jaune's face was agape with shock as they walked of stage and were replaced by my sisters' team.
"Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long, you have collected the white knight peices. You shall form Team RWBY(Ruby) lead by Ruby Rose."
Weiss and Ruby went pale from shock, Yang looked like she was bursting with happiness, and Blake look indifferent as they walked off of stage.
"Ready?" I ask the team, instead of responding they just walked forward.
'Guess that's my answer,' I think as I rush forward to catch up with the team.
"Noir Rose, Graylit Lumos, Hayate Ayasaki, and Twilight Lumos, you have collected the white royalty peices," Ozpin says to us. "You shall form Team N.G.H.T(Night) lead by Noir Rose however, looking at your abilities to strategize with not just your team but two others (Me and Graylit), your flexibility in combat no matter the environment (Me and Hayate), and your ability to know your enemies weak spot from one glance (Twilight, Hayate, Graylit, and Me). You shall become Beacon's first elite team meaning that you shall be considered full hunters and can complete real missions."
"Why are they an Elite Team?! They have a Faunus on their team and the leader is younger than us," Cardin yells.
"I'm aware that there may be some complaints about the leader, however allow me to show you a videos of their leader from his days in Signal," Ozpin responds pointing to the screen.
A video of a younger Ruby being bullied played, even though it was a video I felt my anger rise up. I see a cloud of black rose petals take her from the bullies and a young version of me with the white hair tips, come from the direction the petals went. The bullies laugh and attempt to gang up on me. Attempt. I grab one bully's hand and break it. Another rushes up to stop me and I kick him in the face. I toss the first bully at the other two as black petals come off of me. One of them gets up and pulls out a knife
She slashes at me yet, I just stepped back and stomped on her hand breaking it. I then smashed her head into the ground with a audible cracking sound knocking her unconscious. I then grab the knife and move the knife to a reverse grip. The boy she was knocked down besides rushed at me in anger but I sidestepped him and stabbed him in the back. He hit the floor HARD and other two remaining boys tried to run. My anger wouldn't let them go as the petals I left started circling the area at very high speeds. They ran right into the petals and got shredded.
"Noir! Please stop I'm okay!" Ruby called out breaking me out of my rage as I laughed an insane laugh and the video stopped.
The whole auditorium was silent until someone yells, "He's t-the Demon of Signal!"
The auditorium burst into screams of fear.
"Those kids are still in the hospital from that," Someone yells.
"The doctors say the girl will suffer permanent brain damage and the boys will never walk again," Another calls.
Words like Monster, Murderer, Villain, Insane Maniac, and Demon kept being thrown around the auditorium.
Ruby and Yang's objections were drowned out and Teams C.R.D.L, J.N.P.R, and Wiess look terrified of me. Blake gave me an empathetic look and my team was in shock.
'Damn Ozpin, I'm going to beat the snot out of Oscar when your in his body,' I think as I shout. "Everyone shut the HELL up!"
The entire auditorium quieted down once I yelled it out.
"I'm letting you all know, there are certain things I can't fucking stand," I tell them. "Bulling others based off their species or unique traits is one of them, I have no patience for it at all actually. So when I saw those people bully my little sister I lost it. If you want to do something about it come down here instead of just gossiping and calling names, assholes! But there's one thing I guarentee, I'll be walking out of here 100% okay, I don't know about you."
The auditorium remained silent after I finished so Ozpin took the chance to finish the ceremony.
{Well nothing can ever beat this first day,} Dest says trying to look on the bright side.
'Your right about that,' I tell him while walking toward the team's room.
