Megatron: (thinking this planet never ceases to amaze me)

Weiss: (talking to Zwei as she leaves) Oh, I'll miss you so much, we're going to be best friends, I can't wait to see you.

(her speech deteriorates into incomprehensible baby talk)

(Meanwhile, Blake jumps down from Ruby's bunk and jumps across the table, avoiding Zwei Ruby stares at Zwei for a moment, before smiling sneakily)

(Ruby is wearing a large backpack as she enters the auditorium with other students. She then puts it down next to other students luggage before rejoining her team, who are standing in front of Team JNPR)

Glynda: Quiet! Quiet please. Professor Ozpin would like to share a few words before we begin.

Ozpin: Today we stand together, united. Mistral. Atlas. Vacuo. Vale. The four Kingdoms of Remnant. On this day, nearly eighty years ago, the largest war in recorded history came to an end. It was a war of ignorance, of greed, and of oppression. A war that was about much more than where borders fell or who traded with whom, but about the very idea of individualism itself. We fought for countless reasons, one of which being the destruction of all forms of art and self-expression. And as you are well aware, that was something many could not stand for. As a result, those who opposed this tyranny began naming their children after one of the core aspects of art itself: color. It was their way to demonstrate that not only would they refuse to tolerate this oppression, but neither were the generations to come. And it was a trend that is held to this very day. We encourage individuality, expressionism, and unity through diversity. As I have said, today we stand together, united. But this bond cannot exist without effort. Which is why today, while the rest of the world celebrates peace, Huntsmen and Huntresses will work to uphold it. As first year students, you will be tasked with shadowing a professional Huntsman or Huntress on a mission. Some of you may be taken out of the Kingdom for several days. Others may work within the walls for the rest of the week. But no matter which path you choose, remember to be safe, remember your training, and remember to do your very best.

(Ozpin steps away as the students all begin to file out of the amphitheater)

Ruby: This is perfect! All we have to do is shadow a Huntsman working in the southeast!

Yang: Yeah! We'll follow them around by day and give them the slip by night!

Weiss: Let's check "search and destroy"!

(Team RWBY approaches a hologram screen and I follow them)

Ruby: Here we go! Quadrant 5 needs Grimm cleared out!

Blake: Well, it's in the southeast!

Yang: Sounds perfect!

(Ruby selects it and types in her team name. However, the screen says that first years are not allowed to take this mission)

Weiss: Wonderful!

Megatron: let me try

(do the same but got the same result)

Blake: Any other ideas?

Ruby: We mail ourselves there!

Megatron: we highjack a ship and fly their.

Weiss: that not funny!

Megatron: I was being serious it can't be that hard.

Ozpin: Well, that's one option.

(Ozpin suddenly appears)

Ozpin: Unfortunately, we determined that the concentration of Grimm was too extreme for first-year students. It seems that particular region is rather popular. In fact, I have the sneaking suspicion that you five of you will make your way there no matter which job you choose.

(Megatron, Weiss, Blake, and Yang glare at Ruby, who nervously rubs her head)

Ruby: Whatever makes you say that?

Ozpin: I'm still curious how you all found yourself at the docks last semester. I'm interested to know how you really learned about a hideout in the southeast. And I certainly wonder why witnesses reported seeing robots and rose petals in a dance club some time ago.

Ruby: Um... well...

Ozpin: I doubt I'll ever find the exact answers I'm looking for. So how about this instead of waiting for you all to break the rules, why don't we just bend them?

(Ozpin selects some things on his scroll, and the hologram screen makes a noise)

(I then said team RWBY can now do this with help from one man team Megatron)

Ruby: We won't let you down. Thank you, professor.

Ozpin: Do not thank me for this. Teamwork and persistence have carried you far. But you must understand, the things that await you beyond the protection of the Kingdom will not care. Stay close to your Huntsman at all times, and do exactly as he says. He will be leading you on this mission, and he can have you sent back to Beacon, if he finds your skills to be unsatisfactory. Good luck.

Megatron: well he find my skilled more then satisfactory.

(Team RWBY and Megatron have left the auditorium and are on their way to the airship that will take them to Quadrant 5)

Yang: That wasn't exactly uplifting.

Blake: But it's the truth.

Ruby: It's gonna to be tough, but I know we can do it!

(A student runs past them)

Student: Hey! Team CFVY is back!

(Beacon students gather around to witness the return of Team CFVY. Blake goes up to Velvet Scarlatina)

Blake: Velvet? Are you okay?

Velvet: I'm fine. I had Yatsuhashi to look out for me.

Weiss: Your mission was supposed to end a week ago! What happened?

Velvet: Nothing happened. It was just ... there were just so many. Oh, but don't worry. You first-years are just shadowing Huntsmen, so you should be fine.

Yang: Right.

Velvet: I should go. Be safe, okay?

Ruby: We can do this. We've never backed down before, and we're not going to start now.

Blake: Right.

Ruby: Besides, it won't only be us out there! We'll be fighting alongside a genuine Huntsman! And a gladiator too.

Megatron: Exactly so with a huntsman you four and me this will be easy.

Yang: Yeah!

(The scene immediately cuts to them staring with various stunned expressions, having just discovered who they will be shadowing)

Oobleck: Why, hello students! Who's ready to fight for their lives?

Megatron: Not. what I. was expecting.
