I don't own RWBY or Danny Phantom
3rd Person POV
Soon enough a small pack of beowolves came rushing from the brush, and encircle the young initiates.
"So you take the ones on the left, and I'll take the ones on the right." Danny suggests to his new partner. To which she just shrugs her shoulders, and pops a blade out of the top of her umbrella.
As soon as the blade appears, a young beowolf leaps at Neo, only for her to shatter like glass, and reveal the real Neo standing behind the grimm, with a small smirk on her face as she stabs the grimm in the back causing it to slump to the ground, and begin to dissolve.
As soon as the first grimm fell the rest of the pack leapt, at the two initiates. Danny immediately burst into action fully drawing his twin longswords, and bisected, another young beowolf, before activating gravity dust to push another one into a tree. While Neo is calmly cutting down grimm, after grimm, while cartwheeling around the clearing, with the occasional sight of an illusion shattering into broken glass.
Finally the alpha beowolf joins the fight leaping at Danny's back as he decapitates another one. Only for him to turn around at the last second, and catch the beowolf's paw with crossed swords. Neo having finished with the rest of the pack, then uses her semblance to teleport to the branch above the beowolf before dropping on its back driving her blade into its skull.
Danny then catches a glimpse of a camera hiding in a tree looks right at it, and yells. "Are you not entertained!" causing Neo to look at him weirdly.
"What? Just because no one gets my references doesn't mean I don't get to use them." Danny says to his confused partner.
Meanwhile back at the top of the cliff Ozpin is chuckling at what Danny just said, Qrow having told him a bit about the boys background. While Goodwitch looks over what pairs have been formed so far.
"Well at least it seems miss Politan being mute doesn't hinder her ability to work with her partner." She says having watched the fight with the beowolves.
"Indeed I do wonder how Danny will adjust to the more rule filled life here at the academy." Ozpin comments, before changing the camera to watch a certain red reaper, as she runs into her partner.
Back in the forest Danny, and Neo have been working their way north for a little while now in a comfortable silence, before coming to a large field with stone ruins in the middle of it. Going up to the ruins they see they aren't the first to reach them, standing at the ruins are Yang, and a black haired girl Danny didn't recognize.
"How about a adorable little pony?" Yang asks her antisocial partner about what relic they should grab. The girl then proceeds to shrug.
"It's not a bad idea Yang, I'll take a knight over a pawn any day." Danny says while walking over, and grabbing a black knight piece.
"Hey Danny." Yang says sending the young hunter a wink.
"Not bad, so Yang this is Neo, and your partner is?" Danny responds not even blushing at the wink.
"I'm Blake." The now introduced girl says.
"Nice to meet you." Danny says politely, while Neo waves at the two of them.
Then they hear the sound of heels on the stone, and turn to see the twins Danny had seen earlier. They were wearing dresses that were identical except for the fact that one was red, and the other was white. The one in red had two rather vicious looking blades on each arm, while the one in white appeared unarmed until you noticed that the heels of her shoes were actually very sharp looking blades.
"What are you two doing here?" Yang asks seeming two know the newcomers.
"Uh trying to get into Beacon, same as you." The twin in red says.
"But I thought that you were you know apart of that gang." Yang says awkwardly, and really confused.
"It was a job you blonde cow." The twin in white snaps at the blonde brawler.
"We were being paid as bouncers for a perfectly legitimate club, we had nothing to do with anything else, and thanks to you we don't have that nice little job to pay the bills so we thought we'd try something like this."
"Okay I get it now." Danny says mostly to himself, but bringing everyone's attention onto him.
"You guys used to work at the club Yang trashed the other day." Danny states causing Neo to look in confusion before smirking, and giving Yang another look.
"Yeah what's it to you." The twin in Red asks venomously.
"Nothing much this is between you three I'm staying out of this mess." Danny says stepping back then stopping, and tilting his head hearing what sounds like someone shouting.
Causing everyone to look up just in time to see a falling Ruby being intercepted by a flying Jaune Arc.
"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake asked her partner Who looked to be at a lost for words
Suddenly a Ursa burst from the treeline, but then falls down defeated revealing a short girl in Pink.
"Aaaahhh it's broken." She whines, as a boy in green comes out of the tree.
"Nora never do that again." The boy says, but the now named Nora is already at the relics, and grabs the white rook piece.
"I'm queen of the castle, I'm queen of the castle." She sings.
"NORA!" The boy yells at his hyper partner.
"Coming Ren." She yells back.
"DId that girl just ride in on an ursa." Blake asks her partner who is now even more speechless.
"Hmm you know I've never tried that think it'd be fun Neo?" Danny asks while looking to his mute partner who shrugs her shoulders. While the twins give him a funny look.
Then a redheaded girl in spartan armour bursts from the treeline, with a giant deathstalker right behind her.
"Did that girl run here with a deathstalker on her tail." Blake once again asks for confirmation ignoring how Yang seemed to be just about to snap.
"That's it can two seconds go bye without something crazy happening!" Yang shouts as all the initiates regroup at the ruins.
After two seconds exactly go bye Ruby points up to the sky and says. "Yang."
"Yeah Ruby." Yang seems resigned as she looks up to see the girl in white that yelled at Ruby earlier.
"How could you leave me!" She yells at one of them on the ground.
"I said jump." Ruby shouts back.
"She's gonna fall." Blake points out.
"She'll be fine." Ruby retorts.
"No she's totally falling, but I think Jaune wants a shot at saving the damsel in distress." Danny says while pointing to Jaune as he jumps out to catch the girl in white bridal style.
"Just dropping in." Jaune says smoothly only to realize they're still falling.
"Ahhhhh." Jaune, and her yell only to stop when they realize they aren't falling anymore.
"Thanks for the save Weiss." Jaune says assuming the girl had used dust or something to catch them.
"This isn't me." Weiss admits a little sheepishly.
"Then who is it?" Jaune asks looking around as the two of them are let down gently.
"I think it's him." Weiss says pointing to Danny whose arms are surrounded by the telltale blue-purple color of gravity dust.
"Oh thanks Danny." Jaune says sheepishly.
"Great were all here now we can all die together." Yang complains.
"Not if I can help it." Ruby shouts sprinting towards the deathstalker, before Danny could grab a hold of her.
"Ruby!" Danny, and Yang shout at the speeding reaper as she attacked the giant deathstalker to no effect.
"Ruby watch out!" Danny yells seeing the nevermore come around and launching a barrage of feathers.
Luckily Ruby was able to jump out of the way the the projectiles, except that one pinned her hood to the ground, leaving her pinned to the ground while the deathstalker scuttled forward. When the deathstalker got close enough it struck with its stinger causing Ruby to look away only to realize that the hit never came.
"You are so childish, and reckless, and annoying, but I guess I can be a little expecting, but if you quit trying to show off, I'll be nicer." Weiss says trying to keep the deathstalker stinger trapped in the ice she created.
"I'm not trying to show off, I just want to prove that I'm supposed to be here." Ruby says looking down a bit at that.
"Your fine." Weiss reassures her, as the ice starts to crack, and the two partners run back to the rest of the initiates.
"Guys the nevermore is coming back around" Jaune warns as the giant bird comes around for another attack.
"Look there's no point in staying here we've got the relics. Let's just get back to the cliff." Weiss points out earning nods of approval from Ren, Jaune, Blake, Danny, Neo, and the twins.
"Run, and live. That's an idea I can get behind." Jaune states looking glad that someone besides him suggested it.
"Well come on everyone if you haven't already grab your relics, and let's get out of here." Danny says, causing the few partners who hadn't already to grab a relic.
"Hurry up people let's move." Ruby shouts out trying to speed everyone up before the nevermore made it back, causing Yang to look proudly at her little sister.
The retreat seemed to go well at first with the hunters able to outpace the giant deathstalker, but when they reached the bridge that's when things started to go downhill. First the deathstalker caught up to the retreating group. Then the nevermore destroyed the bridge leaving Danny, Neo, the twins on one side with Pyrrha, Ren, and Blake, while leaving Jaune, Nora, Ruby, Weiss, and Yang on the other side.
If that wasn't bad enough all this fighting seemed to wake up something else that was living in the ruins because right after the bridge collapsed, something large could be heard roaring from the side of the bridge Danny, and the others were on.
"Uh oh." Danny states as he recognizes the roar.
Luckily Nora, and Jaune managed to distract the deathstalker for a few seconds with, an explosive entrance giving Danny the time he needed to think of a strategy.
"Neo, Malachites, with me were going to have company real soon." Danny orders while rotating the dust cylinders in his swords until they both started light blue.
Neo's POV
Having heard my partner's order, and the loud roar earlier, I could guess that he knew what we were about to face so I ran up to him, and waited.
I didn't have to wait to long before a giant grimm reminiscent of a lion it wasn't one I recognized, but judging by how Danny seemed tense he did.
"Crap it's a Nemean!" Danny shouts.
"What the hell's a Nemean!" the twin in red yells at my partner.
"A really mean, really dangerous grimm, that is usually found in the deserts of Vacuo. It's hide is almost impenetrable unless one of you guys has an anti material rifle." He explains while looking at us hopefully as if he hopes one of us has an anti material rifle on us, which now that I think about it would not even be in the top ten weirdest weapons I've seen someone use.
"If it's hide's impenetrable, what are we going to do to fight it?" The twin in white asks haughtily.
"I said it's hide is impenetrable the eyes, and mouth aren't ." Danny says while looking straight at me before asking. "Neo If we can distract it, do you think you can at least blind it?" I catch on to his plan, and nod.
And that's a wrap for this chapter. Sorry it took so long.
