The boys took off as fast as they could from the impending doom. Noir looked to his side and saw Bastian and Onyx. It took him a minute to realize that while they were running they had ended up leaving a member of their team behind. Noir Stopped the other two to turn them around to see Ivan trying to run behind them.

“Oh come on man,” Noir yelled back to Ivan

“I am not fast,” Ivan huffed out back to the other three. Before they knew it a spider had leapt up behind Ivan ready to attack. Before it could Bastian transformed his weapon to bow form and shot a flame dust arrow at the large arachnid. “Thanks.”

“Onyx, Get the wolf,” Noir yelled. Onyx nodded as he teleported next to Ivan and proceeded to sling Ivan over his shoulder. Onyx then ran to catch up as more spiders started to get closer. Bastian let another volley of arrows fly giving Onyx enough time to catch up. Once the two stragglers caught up the boys took off running. They ran without looking back but they could still here the shrieks of the swarm behind them.

“If we keep this up, all we’ll do is bring them to the others and get them killed,” Bastian huffed while they kept running.

“How do you expect to take out almost two and half thousand spiders?” Ivan yelled from Onyx’s shoulders.

“I have an idea,” Noir huffed out “but it’s a bit insane.”

(Ozpin and Goodwitch POV)

“We need to help them,” Goodwitch yelled at the headmaster. “They are the only ones out left who haven’t come back and they are clearly outmatched.” She said pointing to the screen in Ozpin’s hand. On the screen the two teachers could see the swarm of spiders chasing the four boys.

“Hold on Glynda, it seems that Mister Pendragon is coming up with an idea,” the calm headmaster said.

(NOIS POV)

“YOU ARE BEYOND INSANE!” Bastian yelled still running away from the swarm.

“You with this plan?” Noir asked in response.

“Yup, Hey Onyx toss me the dog,” Bastian responded. Onyx threw Ivan to Bastian who caught him with ease. “See you in a bit.” Bastian then started heading in one direction.

“I’m a wolf by the way,” Ivan responded as the two disappeared into the forest.

“Let’s go,” Noir said as he started heading off towards the ruins where they had found the chess pieces with Onyx right behind him. It didn’t take the two long to make it to the valley where the ruins were. For a time, they had lost the swarm but they knew it wouldn’t be long before the spiders caught up. Noir and Onyx headed for a central part of the valley like area. Noir took the sheath from his right side and stabbed it into the ground. He quickly drew a blade from it getting ready for the insuring fight.

“Do you see the other two?” Noir asked as he scanned the surrounding tree line. Onyx then tapped Noir’s shoulder and pointed.

“Over there,” the two then saw Bastian and Ivan in a tree weapons drawn and ready. St then the spiders started coming down into the valley and right towards them. Onyx activated his weapons and Noir drew another blade from his other sheath.

“Keep an eye out for the signal, until then stay alive,” Noir said to Onyx.

“You too,” Onyx responded. Shortly after the first few spiders got within range. Between Noir and Onyx the two hacked and slashed their way watching each other’s back. Both doing their best to fend off the horde before they died.

From the tree line Bastian and Ivan stood ready with their weapons watching the swarm rush towards their friends. Ivan’s Athenian pointer was humming as it charged getting ready for Noir’s crazy plan.

“This plan is dangerous right?” Ivan asked as he aimed his weapon at his target.

“And nuts,” Bastian responded “That’s why I like it.” Shortly after Bastian noticed no more spiders were rushing into the valley meaning they were all in position. “Get ready dog boy,” he then said as he shot a flame dust arrow into the air.

“Wolf,” Ivan corrected. Noir and Onyx noticed an explosion in the air being their signal to take it to the next step.

“That’s the signal, get to the others,” Noir commanded. Onyx turned facing the other two boys. He then used his semblance to teleport to the base of the tree where Ivan and Bastian were sitting in.

“Open fire,” Onyx told Ivan. Right before Ivan let loose his laser Noir activated his semblance loosening Gravity’s grip on him as he leapt high above the trees heading for his friends. Ivan let loose the laser shooting directly to Noir’s sheath that was left behind. As soon as the laser came into contact The sheathe Exploded with enough force to scorch the entire valley where the spiders were. Noir landed barrel rolling by his friends.

“Well that was fun,” Bastian said as the four boys admired their work.

(At the Ceremony)

Ozpin stood on the platform assigning the teams for all the first year students after their time in the Emerald forest. His called the first group and the four boys came to the stage.

“Ivan Canis, Onyx Howlin, Sebastian Mortick, and Noir Pendragon,” Ozpin said addressing the team as they stood shoulder to shoulder next to each other. “The four of you retrieved the white queen pieces. Hence forth you will be known as Team NOIS (noise). Led by Noir Pendragon,” Ozpin said gesturing to the dark haired swordsman. The other three cheered as the congratulated Noir on becoming leader. “Good luck Mr. Pendragon,” Ozpin said gesturing for the boys to get off the stage.

Noir just smiled. He was quite happy with his team: A lightning ninja, a destructive wolf, a dark giant, and him. He couldn’t ask for a better team.

“Can’t wait for tomorrow,” he then said aloud smiling.
