Chapter 5
Right after initiation was done we went to the amphitheater to give the ceremony for our new teams.
"Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long. You four retrieved the white knight pieces, from this day fourth you will as team RWBY, led by... Ruby Rose."
Ha! Man I loved the look on Weiss' face. Bet she was real upset when she wasn't elected team leader. But at the same time I felt proud of her.
I saw the recordings of her and the others taking out the Nevermore, all she needed to say was 'I have a plan' unlike me where I just gave out a plan to everyone.
I guess she's a natural born leader. Her and the newly formed team RWBY came walking down the aisle back to their seats. Ruby was behind the other three, when she passed we gave eachother a high five.
We were called up by Prof. Ozpin next. "Nightmare Satero, Luna and Snow Akita, and Regret Kato, you four retrieved the white rook pieces, from this day fourth you will be known as team NLSR, (NalStar) led by.... Nightmare Satero."
"Wait, what, me?" I was surprised, very freaking surprised. Don't get me wrong, it felt good to have such an accomplishment, but for a reason I dread, it haunts me at the same time. 'Ever since David.... Carol....' I thought to myself. 'Am I ready?'
I felt like I was about to have a panic attack, but by the Lord's mercy I managed to keep myself together for the rest of it.
I had to snap back to reality when Ozpin said something that took my mind off of all this. "Congratulations young man. Your skills as a leader is a gift. But be warned, you have a daunting responsibility ahead of you."
"Trust me, I know more than you think." I said with a more... of a depressed tone.
After our team came down we went to check out our new room. It was rather large than I expected.
Four beds spread apart. A bathroom, a closet, a desk and a couple book shelves. Along with a computer that we could do stuff on.
"Well, we still have to unpack all of our stuff. So let's get crackin'."
I open my suitcase and the first thing I pull out was a picture frame of me and my team during the war. I wrote on it with sharpie saying 'rest in peace' across it. I get all my clothes that were already folded and put them in the top drawer of our dresser.
I put my knife, etc. in the nightstand drawer. I put my pistol under my pillow just incase something were to happen. While Regret was getting his stuff un packed, he noticed the picture on the nightstand he asked me. "Hey, who are these guys?"
"They were my closest friends and my teammates during the Human-Covenent war."
"Whoa, you fought in the war?"
"Yeah I did. It wasn't entirely my choice. I was drafted for the Spartan 3 program. I got robbed of a normal life, Regret. A life I was supposed to live with my family."
He comes and sits next to me on my bed. Along with Snow and Luna to try and help comfort me.
Snow and Luna have always been there for people when they needed to be heard. She looks me in the eye and goes to tell me something that I will never forget.
"We're all here now, as huntsman and huntresses. We have a duty to protect the people. The past is in the past. Right now, we need to focus on the present, this is our time to be the light of Remnant. For those who are weary. We're in this together."
"Thank you Snow. If I'm being honest, no one has ever really inspired me to focus on the present. This is the first time anyone has really lifted me up."
Regret promts me to look at him and nudges me on the shoulder. "Hey, if there's one thing I'm good at, it's helping others. I was raised in a family that every single day my mother would tell me to always help when it's needed. We got your back.
"I won't let you all down. Now... shall we get back to work?"
