Ozpin smiled as he heard Schwarz and Ravira already becoming friendly. There was some worry among the other faculty and even Miss Goodwitch had her doubts about how smoothly this would go over, the trainees having lost their partners. The accident itself was a mystery, to be honest. But it appeared things were turning out to be... quite an interesting year indeed. The pairings themselves were all right, and although some didn't seem to get along, they would in time. His mind turned to Ruby and Weiss, the bickering pair. They couldn't seem to decide on anything, but now they seemed already to be greatly cooperative. Ruby definitely had the potential for leading her team to victory and success. But Ozpin wondered, with that same smile, whether the others would be as well. It was a pleasant thought, not knowing. But somehow, he still had faith in them all.

The ceremony, at last. Group after group ascended to the stage, to be given their team name and team leader. It was finally what they had all been working for. They were one step closer to being Hunters and Huntresses, but it seemed like they had passed the hardest hurdle. Although some of the groups were a little less than pleased with their matchmaking, they couldn't help but feel pride and joy from this event.

"Michelle Kine, Kael Lordonos, Gerald Tarius, Fransesca Stahl." Ozpin announced, and their images appeared on the screen above him. The four stepped up to the stage, and Ozpin continued. "The four of you picked up the White Bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as... Team Melanthios." The pictures rearranged and the letters MLTS flickered underneath their image. "Led by Michelle Kine." A round of applause roared out from the audience, and Ozpin said to Michelle "Congratulations, Miss Kine."

After those four stepped off the stage, the next four stepped up. "Ravira Tudios, Schwarz Nacht, Perry Symund, Kuhaku Kuroshi. The four of you retrieved the Black Queen pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as team... Patroklus." The images reconfigured once again, with the letters PTKS. "Led by Perry Symund. Congratulations, all of you." Followed by more applause. The four of them stepped off the stage as the next team was being addressed, allowing the eight of them time to rejoice and converse before the end.

As everyone was scattered out of its path, the arachnid growled in anger as its remaining eyes showed that it wouldn't maim anyone today. It hit the ground, the fragile and fractured armor shattered, and Fransesca's enlodged blade drove itself further into the spider, and it faded away with the wind shortly after. The battle was over, and they had succeeded. "Ahh, that was pretty tricky!" A female voice said nonchalantly from the side. Zyramos, Aashaln, and Leona had arrived at the opening, covered in battle wounds and looking exhausted. Aashaln said nothing, although his breathing was more ragged than normal. Leona, however laughed at Zyramos's comment, agreeing. "I know, I honestly thought we wouldn't have had that at some parts!" "You might just grow into a fine warrior yourself, Leo!" The two continued laughing as Saurodrinn, the last one to come, studied the group.

They looked rather tired as well, understandable considering the circumstances. But someone was missing. Concerned, he searched until he found the hand of someone holding on for dear life. Saurodrinn rushed over to see Kuhaku, the tiger Faunus, looking desperate and fearful. Without any hesitation, Saurodrinn pushed out more of his aura into his semblance, focusing it into his feet and his hand, and immediately kneeled down and grabbed the Faunus's hand. Kuhaku discovered that he couldn't slip through, even if he wanted to, but his life was still in the hands of this human. The human, although straining, managed to pull him up, a great deal of help due to his Semblance. Saurodrinn helped Kuhaku to his feet, then left him without saying a word.

Almost out of the blue, the airship that initially carried them all to the academy had descended upon them, landing. Ozpin stepped out of the vessel, standing there with a faint smile. "Well done. You've completed your initiation, and the ceremony will begin shortly after you all get back. Those of you that require medical attention will be aided immediately." No sooner had he said this, Schwarz had shouted "Medic!", and the school nurses got Coral into the ship. Ozpin continued "For now, your mission is complete, and you should all get some rest. Enter the ship and we shall return to Beacon with haste." then sipped his coffee.

The Headmaster walked over to Schwarz after they had all gotten onto the airship. "Schwarz, there is something I must inform you of." He held out his hand, which was clenched, holding something. He dropped it into hers, and she saw it was the black queen piece, the Relic that Coral was holding onto. "Coral's wounds were serious, but her actions are inexcusable. With an already less than positive influence on other students, as well as a history of ignorance to rules, I'm afraid we will be forced to expel her when she recovers."

After a moment, he continued "There is, however, another student. Her partner was killed in action, unfortunately. Something that has never happened before. But, with both requiring a partner, the two of you will be united from this day forth." And with that, he called the new partner over. A young girl with only one arm and wielding a kind of staff. Ozpin apologized for the circumstances, as well as the girl's loss, and left the two as he returned to the cockpit.

The spider continued its job of covering its prey with the spidersilk, but after it crumpled in on itself, it became apparent rather quickly that its prey had escaped, just barely. I hissed in frustration, but that anger was only temporary as Fransesca landed on it a second time. With Fransesca hacking away at it, the spider cringed and shook violently from the pain while also trying to shake her off, despite fruitless results. With no options left, it scrambled to the top of the cliff, Fransesca dangling off its back, then, as it reached the heights, it jumped off and back, falling towards the rest of the students, Fransesca descending with it. The spider seemed satisfied. It would die, but so should the human, according to the spider. It cared not what happened now.

The Taijitu didn't have much time, and it knew that it was outmatched. Still, it fought with as much ferocity as all Grimm would, unwavering. The black serpent half charged right at Kael as Kael did likewise, but the white counterpart was coming in from the side. At least, it was until Schwarz's attack had pierced its head, the spear lodging itself through the top of his skull and out his lower jaw, the Taijitu half falling limp as it collided with the ground. Kael jumped at the remaining half, but the snake had opened its mouth in time to swallow Kael whole, although it intended to pierce him with its fangs. But the victory only seemed to last half a second, as Kael emerged, bursting and slicing through to the other side. The Taijitu writhed in pain before it crumpled and faded away completely. Now all that remained was the spider, who seemed less than content with the situation.

The arachnid hissed at them all, then targeted the one that seemed the most wounded. It shot out the cohesive spidersilk at Michelle, wrapping around her before it dragged her off the edge and into the chasm, where it proceeded to wrap her, immobilizing her. Tonight, it would feast.

The Taijitu hissed, its thin tongue dancing in front of his face, but only seemed to last an instant before it retracted in pain as Kael plunged his blade through the openings. After a piercing screech, it finally fell limp, and started to corrode, fading out of existence. The final Taijitu hissed in anger, then charged at the one who had killed its companion. It was dead set on getting its target.

The spider writhed out of control as it screeched, Fransesca slashing its eyes. One of the boulders had scratched it, now that the spider was in its path, ripping off part of the exoskeleton as Fransesca had hoped as it descended. The arachnid fell back, but caught itself as it landed on its web, and struggled to dodge the rest of the debris, all the while in pain from the rupture on its back. There was also the matter of the sword still lodged in the thorax, and some of its damaged eyes. In a rage, it scrambled up the cliffside, emerging from the crevice. If it could at least get one victim, and the smell of panic was thick in the air.

The Taijitu screeched when Coral began slashing at it's side, but recovered when the Faunus had been knocked back by the sniper's shot, alerting the other Grimm of her location. The two white counterparts then lunged at the pillar Michelle was on, Coral having fallen back, giving Michelle almost no time to recover. The snakes collided with the pillar, having blocked each other's paths and pulverized the structure, more debris falling and catching onto the web below. The one black head tried wrapping around Schwarz, in an attempt to crush her, while the last serpent head watched the others, vigilant of any movement on their part, ready to react
