AN- Welcome! To my brand new story of Team HAMR! Featuring Hector from Oh Gosh resulting from at 10-1 vote on whether or not I should bring him back to a different story. I suck summaries so please help me find a new one.

To all who read my first story I would like to let you know that Hector is not going to be the same as he was in OG, this version of Hector will only share his personality, appearance and MAYBE his semblance, I haven't decided on that yet. To those who do not know who Hector is, you don't have to read Oh Gosh but if you want to get a gist of his personality and the way his character works, go ahead and give it a read! I have over 100,000 words invested in that story and about a month and a half of my time in it. The first few chapters I'll admit will probably be cringey but I've been told that I improved greatly as the chapters progress by my sister. That and this story are not going to end anytime soon.

Now that I think about It I'm basically writing a fanfiction of my own fanfiction that is a fanfiction of RWBY. Say that five times fast. I was going to create a brand new OC but when I put it up to a vote literally everyone but one person said to bring back Hector, so here he is.

This story will primarily be read in the first person perspective of the OC. It's just how I like to write.

Lets get started! I suck with beginnings but bear with me as the story continues.

EDIT/FEBRUARY 2nd 2019: This story is under a well needed rewrite, I started this story a long time ago, and I was nowhere near the level of skill where I am now. I can't fix every single mistake and mess, but I can improve the quality of the writing and fix some things here and there. but one thing is for sure, this story NEEDED a rewrite, this is my most unsuccessful story. You can keep going on by all means, after about the tenth chapter or so I'd say things start to get better.

Also, for those that read Unlikely Hero, this is not going to be the same exact Hector from that story, in this one he is younger, weaker, and a little more childish. So keep that in mind and try not to make too many comparisons.

RWBY: Team HAMR [REMASTERED]

Chapter 1- Prologue

The initiation to become an official student of Beacon Academy is unorthodox at best. Flinging sixteen to seventeen year old students fresh out of training schools into a forest full of evil monsters that live to kill every living thing they see just for their own satisfaction, and only telling them to prepare their landing strategy and to destroy everything in their path. So yeah it's quite unorthodox to say the least. But in this alternate reality something… special happens. A rift opens up suddenly, pulling a young man from a different reality he has grown to love and hate, he was sleeping while it happened and nearly knocked himself out when the back of his head slammed against a tree. This dimensional rift pulls the unsuspecting seventeen year old with black hair and dark brown eyes named Hector Rivers right into the Emerald forest, right before Professor Ozpin, headmaster of Beacon Academy launches those first year students into the Grimm infested forest.

And so his adventure begins...

"Ugh... what the hell happened?" He asked as he dizzly looks around from his position flat on his ass and against a tree

"I was just in class a minute ago, I fell asleep like I usually do and then... I am in a forest?" Hector asked no one in particular as he looked around, seeing nothing but the brown bark of trees and green leaves. "At least I still have my clothes, it would have sucked if I didn't even have that with me." Hector said as he looked down at his own body. He is still wearing a plain long sleeve back shirt with two buttons that he has never really buttoned up before. Normal plain blue jeans, and a pair of tan colored steel toe work boots he has become accustomed to wearing almost at all times, mostly because he wore them to work as well, it just felt weird for him to check anything else. he checked his pockets for the cell phone he always carried on him, but when he reached into his pocket he felt nothing but well... his pocket.

"Mother fucker, did someone just leave me out here?" He asked himself with a curse as he looked around the immediate area once more. He groaned as he realized just what kind of situation he was in, perhaps someone just decided it would be funny to take him out into the forest and leave him there to find his own way back to the high school. Hector went with that theory and tried to look around to try to find some landmark or anything he could use to figure out where he was and if it can lead him to other people. As he looked, and walked around the unknown forest he thought about how long he might have been out here, it was still light out so it must have been less then a few hours at most. The last thing he remembers was falling asleep in another one of his boring math classes, and then it just let back to him just waking up in the middle of the forest here.

Unbeknownst to him however, the stress Hector was giving off may as well have been a Beacon to the inhabitants of that forest.

Hector snapped himself out of his stupor when he heard some of the nearby bushes rustle behind him. He instinctively turned his body around as quickly as he could to see what it was. "Don't you even dare jump out of the bush whatever you are." He whispered to himself as he looked straight toward the bush, and already found himself backing up pit of terror. A very large monster, easily seven to eight feet in height came out of the bushes, black skin blacker than anything Hector has ever seen before, and red eyes piercing into his brown.

Hector gulped to himself as he realized where he actually was.

"Professor Ozpin, I don't believe this boy was with us earlier." Miss Goodwitch points out as she shows Ozpin the same camera feed she is looking at. This slightly worries Ozpin but he of course didn't take it too seriously since he has eyes on another student, this one a faunus, already on her way toward the commotion.

"Perhaps he is a student from a different area of launch. Surely you know that we have more than one area where we launch our students into the forest." Ozpin pointed out with a shrug of his shoulders as he took another sip from his mug trademark mug.

"Of course I know that, but I don't recognize him from any of our earlier meetings today, or yesterday for that matter. In fact I don't think I've ever seen this boy before." Glynda pointed out as she scrolled through of all the students that are currently in the Emerald Forest. Not finding anyone that even resembled the mysterious young man rubbing his head in confusion.

"Then after initiation is over I will question him personally myself." Ozpin's eyes widen very slightly as he watched as a very large Beowolf stalked out of the bushes and stared down the young man paralyzed out of fear.

"Good. I'll go in, and extract him myself then. I only need the word." Miss Goodwitch declares as she gets her weapon ready, and walks toward the edge.

"No need for that." Ozpin said as he raised his cane and blocks her path.

"Ozpin this could mean the death of an innocent boy. You better have a good reason for this." Glynda warned as she glared at Ozpin, expecting an answer for his actions.

Ozpin showed her his scroll and she sees another student going on a direct path that leads right to me. A faunus girl with ashen colored droopy dog ears that matches the color of her hair that is put up into a ponytail, her hair also has small streaks of black in it as well. She is around the same age as Hector Rivers but with much more skill and expertise as she quickly maneuvers herself through the forest, keeping an eye out for anything that could resemble one of the relics that Ozpin told them they needed to find in order to pass. She also wears a long sleeve gray shirt with a diamond shape design that runs up her left sleeve and wraps around her waist and tight blue leggings that stop just after her knees. She has a weapon holster that wraps around her waist and bottom for her two short curved swords with very sharp edges that both have dust cylinders to add any kind of elemental power she chooses. She also wears combat shoes that help her keep traction with any surface she runs on, and help her with her fast paced fighting style. She has a pale milky skin tone that goes well with her hair color. She has a sharp but beautiful look to her face, a small mole on her left cheek, petite body and dark blue eyes.

"Why are you trying to kill me? I promise you I don't taste good! Is anyone else out here!?" She hears a very unusual call for help that is followed by an angry roar that is unmistakably belonging to a creature of Grimm and immediately adjusts her path in the direction of the voice.

"Finally someone, I feel like I've been looking for ages." Ashley Cain said to herself as she gets closer to the source of the voice. "You better not be disappointing partner."

The Beowulf started attacking Hector and he was currently running away in a random direction while dodging the swipes of the Beowolf by mere inches, sometimes not even that. It started attack once Hector returned to his senses and started running for his life. He barely dodged the next attempt on his life but this time he did it by falling backward and started to crawl away. The monster went for a pounce but he managed to kick it in the nose with his steel toe boot hard enough that stunned the monster for just enough time for Hector to get back up and start sprinting again. he was getting tired but he kept running as fast as he could, which is not nearly as fast as most of the other people in his general area.

The Grimm roared angrily as it ran after him on all fours, it's mouth foaming as it grew even closer to its prey.

"Will you just let me process all of this shit!?" Hector screamed back at the monster as Ihe ducked underneath a branch. But of course the chase didn't last long after that as Hector tripped over a surprise root from a tree and landed face first on the hard ground. A rock cut his cheek that makes and the sudden sharp pain made him yelp in surprise. He rolled onto his back and look into the glowing blood red eyes of the Beowolf, fear was replaced by realization as he saw that the Grimm was pouncing at him. Somehow someway Hector managed to dodge the creature as it slammed into a tree behind him.

"Why are you still chasing me!? I'm sure there are other tastier people to go after." he yelled at it uselessly as he pushed himself backward across the ground until his back hit against a tree. "Oh... fuck." The young Beowolf noticed his cornered state, and slowly stomped its way toward him, digging its claws into the soft dirt beneath it with every step, and as it grew closer it growled softly at him, as if it is playing with its food. There was no more quips Hector could think of as he was now as staring into the creature that would now be the death of him. He shut his eyes tightly as the monster got closer and closer. The Beowolf got up in his face and roared with hatred. Its breath smelled like rotten excrement and Hector yelped as he felt its razor sharp teeth graze his face before it suddenly stopped roaring, and he felt something heavy fall onto his lap. He turned his head back and opened his tightly shut eyes to see the dissipating body fallen at the end of his feet, and the monsters bleeding head on his lap. Once he realized that it was dead he exhaled a sigh of relief and relaxed his already tired body.

"Care to explain why you didn't fight back?" A sharp female voice asked him from off to the side, her blue blade dripping with black blood as she stared daggers into his face. Hector looked the girl up and down, noticing her oddly colored hair and extra appendages, it too a few second for him to remember where he was, and he was just caught checking out a Huntress in training. She rolled her eyes at him when he reached her face, and stared at the dog ears on her head with curiosity. "Yes I'm well aware that I have an extra set of ears on my head."

"No no I dont give a shit about that… I just found out where I am." Hector said as he raised his hands up in surrender and slumped his head back against the tree against his back. Now I just gotta figure out when I am and then I can come to terms with what the fuck just happened to me.

"Well that's good, cause you're gonna be my partner and teammate for the next four years." The faunus girl said in a bored tone but somehow manages to wear a sassy smirk at the same time. But she did seem pleased with his response, so that was one good thing he had going for him.

He blinked his eyes a few times as he thought about what she just said... he was going to be her partner for the next four years!? Hector let his head fall into his hands and groaned loudly into them

"What was that for?" The faunus asked him, a little offended by his reaction

"I didn't do that because of you, I just did that because I realized where I was." He explained simply as he looked up into her dark blue eyes.

"Huh... I don't know how you didn't know where you were, but why didn't you protect yourself with your aura?" The girl asked with a tilt of her head, gesturing to the cut he still had on his cheek

"Would you believe me if I told you that I am from a different dimension where nobody knew what aura was and the Grimm didn't ever exist?" Hector answered her question with another as he looked back up to see her reaction.

She blinked a couple of times and recoiled slightly as she took in that information, before giggling out of amusement at Hector's expense. "Wow if you're making me laugh already you might be more useful than I thought." She backhandedly compliments.

"Wow... thanks." Hector deadpanned as he started getting back up to his feet. He turned to face her once he was up and mentally noted that she was about a head short then he was. Not that she cares about that at all, it just made him feel slightly better about himself as he reached a hand up to touch the bleeding cut on his face. She noticed the blood and took a step forward to get a better look.

"You still didn't tell me why you didn't activate your aura." The girl pointed out as she looked at his cut.

"You see... that's the problem, I didn't have aura to begin with" Hector revealed nervously as he rubbed the back of his head. Hector was still thinking about his current situation. So many things happened in such a short amount of time that he hasn't been able to begin thinking about. So much so that he accidentally completely ignore the Ashen haired faunus to his left. That was until she pinched him on the shoulder to get his attention back, because that was just the right thing to do.

"Ow, why'd you do that?" Hector asked as he rubbed the shoulder she pinched hard.

"You were dozing off for some reason, and I was asking you a question. So I did that to get your attention." She explained simply with a shrug, not even saying sorry mostly because she just wasn't sorry about it.

"Sorry about that... a lot has been going on lately and I am still trying to process everything." Hector said as he reached his hand back up to rub away some of the blood that he felt running down his cheek.

"It's fine, just come here I think I know a way to heal that cut of yours." She said as she beckons me over with one finger. Hector immediately thought about his own aura being unlocked, was that really about to happen right now!?

"Okay." Hector said even though in his mind he was currently wondering about how this was going to feel.

"I'm going to unlock your aura, you're going to need it if you're going to be a Huntsman. It's a miracle you were even able to land safely on the ground here." She said as she reached a hand up and cupped the side of Hector's face, and placed her other hand over his heart. She shut her eyes and began to focus hard.

"So... what's your name?" Hector asked after standing still for about thirty seconds, unable to look at anything else besides the hair of white and black of the girl who has just become his partner.

"I'm trying to focus here." The faunus berated as she kept her eyes shut tightly, and finally a dark blue aura flared up around her body. Hector kept his mouth shut and awed at the beautiful color flowing around her body, and then he felt something within him stir. He started to feel himself get stronger and stronger, his stamina coming back in full and he started to see his own body glow a dark red color. Which is coincidentally also his favorite color. He sighed out of the pure pleasure of feeling this awe-inspiring power flow throughout his body

"For it is in passing that we achieve immortality." The faunus began to chant. "Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all, to bring all together. Infinite in distance and unbound by the hands of death, I release your soul, your hidden power, and by my will, unlock thy potential." Her voice sounded like she was singing, and Hector felt his body grow so much more powerful as his red aura flared up even brighter. Something within him becoming unlocked.

Their bodies flashed a bright light suddenly as he felt his aura finally become unlocked, it turned purple for a split second before going back down to red, but that must have been because of his partners aura mixing in with his. The girl opened her eyes but they were half lidded, she wobbled for a few seconds and almost fell if it weren't for Hector catching her by the shoulders. He didn't even feel the cut on his face anymore, and he was more worried about his new partner then he was about himself.

"Woah, are you okay?" Hector asked, concerned for his new friend.

"Yeah I'll be fine," The girl said with a wave of her hand. "You have a lot of aura, I nearly passed out because of it."

"Well... people do say that I am full of surprises." Hector said as he took his hands off of her shoulders and rubbed the back of his head, his red aura flickering a few times as he flexed his now stronger muscles. In truth he has always been strong, just naturally. He hasn't really worked out all that much but his body still looked like he did. But now after getting his aura unlocked, he feels stronger then he ever has before.

"It's Ashley, by the way." The faunus said with a smile as she held out her hand in greeting. "That's my name, Ashley Cain."

"Hector Rivers." Hector told her his name in turn, feeling a smile creep up from the corner of his lips as he happily took her hand in his own and shook it. Though he couldn't shake the feeling that 'Cain' was awfully close sounding to 'Canine' given her dog ears.

"It seems our unexpected newcomer has now found a partner." The headmaster mentions as he zooms in on Hector and Ashley running side by side, taking care to actually dodge the Grimm and not stay around too long in a single area, and only doing so to give Hector a few moments of rest before taking off again.

"It seems so. What are we going to do with him after this is over?" Glynda asks looking to Ozpin with a questioning look.

"I suppose we will, as the young ones say, 'Roll with it.'?" Ozpin says, cracking a amused smirk.

Glynda groaned at the unexpected joke and looks back to her scroll.

"You need to stop listening to the kids conversations." Glynda said with a shudder as she averted her eyes back down to her scroll.

"I believe it is entirely necessary in order to understand them better." Ozpin argued as he returned his own eyes. "Ashley Cain, a very skilled first year huntress in training that passed the entrance exam with flying colors. Although she has a mysterious background, and is much better at battling other people then she is against Grimm, she will be a good partner for our seemingly inexperienced newcomer."

"Agreed. I wonder how he will do in the challenges to come, he will have to start pulling his own weight soon." Glynda pointed out, one could only get so long without getting their own hands dirty.

"Although he hasn't shown any of his own abilities as of yet, I believe we will see some interesting traits coming from that boy. I can just see the potential in him already." Ozpin said with a smile on his face, as optimistic as ever. But strangely even more so in this young man.

"You seem to be very interested in this young man, may I ask why?" Glynda asked, raising her head back up to look at the headmaster.

"Glynda I have seen dozens of initiations in my time. Something like this has never happened before so forgive me if I seem a bit… intrigued." Ozpin explained simply, and with a shrug.

"Very well. I suppose that is understandable for someone such as yourself." Glynda accepted his reasoning with a shrug.

Hector and his new partner found a path, well... Ashley found the path, Hector was just following her and doing his best to keep up with her, and then took some of the credit for finding the path. He knew that they were looking for a stone temple of some sort, but he didn't really know how to explain that he knew that it was a stone temple. She didn't believe the truth once already, bringing it up again may as well just be making it a running joke that he didn't feel like exploring.

"So uh… do you know what we're looking for Ash? I'd say that I do, but I really don't." Hector said as he nudged his partner to get her attention.

Ashley noticed the little nickname that he gave her. "I wish I could say that I do, but why are you calling me Ash now?" She couldn't help but ask as she made her way through the bushes.

"Ashley just has too many syllables." Hector said with a noncommittal shrug. "It's just easier to say Ash."

"Its only two." Ashley pointed out, even stopping to look back at him with a confused look on her face.

"Yeah, and Ash is only one, it's easier." Hector countered with a grin.

"..." Ashley just stared at him.

"You can call me RJ if you want." Hector tried.

"I'm good." Ashley says as she begins to sniff the air around her. Another feature of her being a dog faunus. "I think we're getting close, do you see anything?"

"Nope, nothing at all." Hector answered honestly, squinting his eyes as he looked over her head to try and see through the dense forest.

"Wait a second." Ashley said as she stopped walking suddenly and stopped Hector by pushing him back with her hand. "You didn't have your aura, you don't know how to fight, you gave into your fear and you don't know how to track. What are you doing here Hector?" She asked, looking up at him with her dark blue eyes with an almost disappointed look on her face. Hector chuckled nervously on the spot and rubbed the back of his head nervously, it was one of his ticks that he did when he didn't know what to say. He knew that the truth was not going to be believed in, so he had to make something up. Luckily, bullshitting his way through things was one of his best traits.

"Well the truth is you're right, I don't really know how to do all those things so... I kinda, snuck in." He lied nervously, it got worse when she glared at him. She eventually just shakes her head and sighs, apparently going through something like this before.

"Whatever happened, leave me out of it. For now, just stick with me and I'll protect you. Once we get through this you can talk to the teachers once we are done." Ashley explained with a surprising amount of kindness, a lot more than he really deserved since he just told her a story about him sneaking into the forest during initiation. Another thing was he could actually vaguely sense what she was feeling emotionally, it must be a side effect of unlocking one's aura. She wasn't really angry with him, she was actually just a little surprised by the story he told her.

"Thanks, I appreciate it." Hector said with a relieved grin, if she left him then and there it would have been pretty problematic.

Ashley smirked back in response, and then nodded her head as she turned back around and started walking into a more open area.

Hector was about to say something else along the lines of her teaching him how to track and find where they were supposed to go, but a high pitched scream earned both of their attention.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHIIEEE!

Ashley looked back at Hector, who was already looking back at her. They both shrugged at each other. "We're going to go help that person aren't we?" Hector asked, he really didn't want to ask that question, but sadly he just had too.

"Well, you're the one who snuck in here to try and become a Huntsman with no previous training." Ashley said with a chuckle, but that smile disappeared just as fast as it came when the two of them felt loud rumbling and vibrations of something stomping it's way toward them. Ashley grabbed Hector's hand and started sprinting, Hector felt his arm almost get shot out of it's socket as he was suddenly pulled along.

Hector wasn't stupid, he heard something behind him, and after ignoring that thought in his head to not turn around, he eventually did turn around to see what was chasing him.

It was a Deathstalker, a really big Deathstalker with a blonde guy hanging off of it's stinger screaming like a schoolgirl. He didn't even notice the head of red hair sprint right past him and yelled sorry at the two of them as she broke out into a clearing.

Hector and Ashley bursted through the clearing after the red haired girl did. A Deathstalker coming out right behind them straight after. It threw the blonde guy as it chased them, and Hector could only hope that the guy had the aura to take the force of gravity when he slammed into the ground a few hundred feet away from him. Ashley was still pulling him forward, unwilling to leave him behind as he struggled to keep up. He had long legs and was moving them as fast as he could, but his form was amateur at best and he just wasn't nearly as fast as the trained Huntress in training before him.

They saw a stone temple in the distance, and it was Hector's turn to pull along his partner as he forced them to change directions and toward somewhere he knew was going to have reinforcements. He waved wildly at the group of other people before him, screaming his head off as he tried to get his voice to be heard by their ears.

"Did those two just come running out of the forest with a Deathstalker chasing them?" He barely heard the girl with a black bow on her head ask as he got close enough to hear them.

"I-"

"Stop standing there and help! Please!" Hector asked, cutting off the blonde one as he got close enough for his booming voice to finally be heard and processed by everyone there.

He didn't even have time to process that he was just screaming at the future members of Team RWBY and team JNPR, and he ran past them with panicked breathing. They all broke off to fight the Deathstalker while Hector ran to one side of the temple and grabbed a random chess piece and stuffed it in his pocket for safe keeping. Thankfully, the others were taking care of the other Deathstalker, and the Nevermore that flew overhead went over to split them up, but he knew that they could handle it so he wasn't worried about it. What he was worried about was the other Deathstalker that just bursted out of the woods beside them, screeching angrily as it locked it's many eyes on Hector and Ashley, who were now backed up against a wall.

"So I don't reckon you have a trick up your sleeve for something like this, perhaps a semblance?" Hector asked nervously as his heart thumped in his chest. Ashley looked to him as a single sweat drop rolled down her forehead, and after she gulped nervously and chuckled once Hector already knew the answer and widened his eyes.

"I… haven't unlocked it yet…" Ashley admitted shamefully as she looked away from him.

"Don't you think that would be a valuable piece of information!?" Hector whisper screamed to his new partner as they both tried to become one with the wall, the Deathstalker taking its sweet time to even start killing them.

"This is coming from a guy who shouldn't even be here!" Ashley shot back as she reached for her weapons, she would rather go down fighting instead being like a cornered animal.

"Hey I thought we were past that!"

"We have four years for me to joke about that, I'm not forgetting it anytime soon."

"Ugh, if we can even survive today, I actually don't care what you say to me after that."

They continued their whisper screaming argument like that for a few more seconds, but when rocks fell from above them and onto the Deathstalker just mere feet away from them. Hector and Ashley both looked up to see another boy just staring at them with an amused smile on his face.

"Oh no don't let me stop you, I was enjoying your bickering." The new guy said with a laugh, flicking part of hie beige dyed hair out from in front of his left eye. This was another human a bit shorter than Hector, but taller than Ashley with a badass looking black and red-orange battle axe strapped to his back. He wears a no sleeved orange sweatshirt that shows off his arm muscles and abdominals, black dress pants because reasons, along with black dress shoes because more reasons. His hair style consists of being half shaven, with short black hair on the side, and a long gothic looking beige bang of hair that covers the other side of his head and part of his face, it matched well with his dark orange eyes. He lastly has piercings on his exposed ear. This new guy chuckled as we looked at him and stood up, placing a hand behind his back and onto the staff part of his battle axe.

"How long were you there?" Hector asked while looking up at him, Ashley doing the same thing only with her dog ears standing upwards and at attention.

"The real question here is why this Deathstalker hasn't bothered to kill you two while you were arguing amongst yourselves." The new addition to their little group said with yet another chuckle. The Deathstalker seemed to finally realized that it had two teenagers within it's grasp and immediately starts to charge at them. But instead of tearing it's prey apart like it wanted to, it slammed into the stone wall. Hector and Ashley dove to the side together and started to roll down the hill in a tangle of limbs. The one with the orange eyes jumped off of the stone wall and landed beside the two of them, battle axe at the ready and orange aura flaring as he stared down the angry Deathstalker.

"Hey Mike! It's finally time for some action!" He called out to the woods behind him.

'Mike' came out of the woods with a green book in one of his hands, while his other was buried in one of his jacket pockets. He looked like a thin looking guy with long blonde hair and light brown eyes, he also wore rectangular small glasses that rested on the tip of his nose, he pushed the glasses up and puts his book away with a sigh. He wears a zipped up brown and black leather jacket that with a silver zipper that has multiple pockets on both sides of his chest, as well as the normal pockets near his hips that mostly every jacket has. He wears normal dark blue jeans like Hector did at the moment but wears a brown belt with a golden buckle and his combat boots matched the color of his eyes with a calm brown color. Next, he took out his weapon which is a long chain with a sickle at the end of it, and at the end of said chain had some kind of iron weight that can be used to smash armour resting on his hip, most likely used against human opponents or for close range combat.

"What have you gotten yourself into this time Reggie?" Mike asked with a monotone voice as he slowly made his way to him.

So this was the roster Hector had to work with at the moment so far, A dog faunus girl who was actually pretty cool but wasn't afraid to say things like it was, a what seems like to be a very trigger happy guy with a battle axe that dressed, although he couldn't lie and say that he didn't look badass, and another guy who is going to be just a ball to talk to after this is done, he honestly reminded Hector of the kind of person who would only speak to him if he had too, but who knows, appearances can be deceiving.

"Not much this time, just about to cut off this Deathstalkers tail and stab it with a couple of times. You know, the usual." Reggie said with a happy smile as he started running toward the Grimm creature.

"God dammit Reggie." Mike said with a few more curses at the end of that as he broke into a sprint to join his partner in battle.

Hector looked to Ashley for a bit of advice on what they should do in this situation. She simply just shrugged at him and stood up. Dusting herself off and getting ready for combat herself.

"Stay back or help, I'll leave it up to you." Ashley said as she started running to help Mike and Reggie, who were now just engaging that large Deathstalker creature.

Hector crossed his arms and thought about it, he had no previous combat experience, the only real experience he had was wrestling in high school, but even then compared to Huntsman in training it didn't really seem all that impressive. Okay so these guys got this right? Hector asked himself in his mind as he watched the three other people fight off the Deathstalker, dodging and attacking with a surprising amount of coordination.

But once Hector thought that he wouldn't be needed in this battle, the worst possible scenario happened. instead of the good guys winning, Hector gasped as he watched his partner get hit hard with the blunt side of the Deathstalkers stinger. Launching her into the forest and Hector winced again when he saw her slam against one of the trees. Her aura flared as it did its best to lessen the impact as she slid down the tree and onto the ground. Her swords fall to her sides and her head rests on her chest as she falls nearly unconscious.

As the battle raged on Hector snuck past the monster and kneeled down next to the faunus girl to see how she was doing. Luckily it turned out that her aura took the brunt of the force, but the bad news was that she was already very low on aura, she must have not had a lot like he did. But when her chest rose and fell as she breathed Hector breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head.

Okay so that happened, how are the others doing. Hector thought as he turned back around, only to see the one called Michael get hit and tumble away as his green aura flared to protect his body, he only just stopped himself before he could hit one of the trees.

Oh gosh... I really am going to have to help do I? Hector thought to himself as he started running to his new ally, and made it just in time to tackle him out of the way of the incoming stinger that just dug itself into the ground. Mike gave him a quick thank you before running off again, the Deathstalker luckily chasing him instead of Hector, giving him the opportunity to get back to his own partner who was actually just beginning to stir.

Maybe there's a reason why these people weren't in the show... they might have died in initiation. Hector thought to himself as he made his way back to his partner. It was a plausible possibility, but since there was literally no mention of them in the actual show he watched then maybe he was just overthinking it.

"What happened?" Ashley drowsily asked as she reached toward her weapons and weakly started to push herself back up to a standing position, and only getting there because of her partners help.

"You got hit pretty hard, but you should be fine soon." Hector said as he let her go, her aura seemed to have already started to regenerate luckily.

"Damn it... you know, but you can actually help us with this now that I think about it." Ashley pointed out with an actually embarrassed but hopeful look on her face. Hector couldn't even blame her, but even the other two were having trouble and they seemed to have things a lot more under control then they did. In truthy he was still very terrified, maybe a little less then he would normally be, but when not only his life is on the line Hector was able to push past that fear and put on a face of bravery against the front of evil.

"Well... if it means we all get out of this alive, then I'll do what I can." Hector said with a nod of his head as he came up with a plan. "Okay, I have a plan!" Hector shouted out as loudly as he could so that everyone could hear him. "I'm the bait! Follow my lead guys!" Hector shouted as he ran up to the Deathstalker while waving his arms around, thinking negative thoughts even as to get it's attention easier. It worked well, but a little too well, because Hector quickly realized his mistake and started sprinting in the other direction with a three thousand pound scorpion chasing after him.

"This... this is the person I asked for help from." Ashley said to herself with a shake of her head as she watched Hector run for his life while screaming in a high pitched manly voice. "I must have been more desperate than I thought."

"Oh fuck…" Hector said between his heavy breathing as he can hear the creature catching up to him. "Okay, shit, uuuhh Ash! Do some of that Huntress stuff to it's legs!" Hector shouted as he ran in the opposite direction. Ashley to his credit actually followed his hastily made order, and after taking out her swords again to fight the beast, she ran up to the side of the monster and proceeded to cut off to of it's back legs as it focused on catching Hector. It roared in pain as it spewed black blood in her direction, luckily for the Grimm she managed to dodge it in time and watch as it leaked all of the dirt grassy ground.

I'm guessing from that deafening screech you did what I said! Thank you!" Hector shouted as he kept his hands clamped around his ears, they were still ringing and he couldn't hear any responses, but at least they were winning now.

"Hahahahahahaha!" Reggie of course was laughing his ass of the entire time and didn't think that he should help, even with the sight of an absolute masterful plan all coming together.

"Reggie stop laughing, we need to go help them." Mike said as he grabbed Reggie by the shoulder and started to push him forward the battle.

"Mike… just look at that and tell me... you don't find that funny." Reggie responds between laughs.

"I actually don't find it that funny, they could get killed at any second you know."

"Oh come on Mike there's no need to be a party pooper."

"Someone has to be."

"What am I watching…" Glynda asked no one in particular, and certainly not Ozpin as she watched a disaster of a plan somehow all coming together. Nothing made sense with what she was seeing. Hector running away while shouting orders like a true leader, Ashley Cain, his partner was slashing away at the remaining legs that the Grimm has, and the other two were only just now on their way to help after the one with the brown jacket finally snapped the one with the orange eyes to go help their teammates.

"I believe we are watching the making of a new team, though even I must say their methods are a little... unorthodox." Ozpin said with a shrug as he took a sip from his mug. Glynda didn't bother to ask where he got it from because he didn't have it before, he has made it a habit to summon things like that out of mid air.

"I'm watching a disaster waiting to happen. This Hector Rivers is not ready for this high level of combat and he doesn't even have transcripts for me to look up! Not only that but the only two who are taking this seriously are not equipped to deal with a Grimm such as this. If these kids become a team it will not end well for them. I can't even begin to think about who the leader should be." Glynda says as she massages her temple with her free hand.

"Oh please Glynda, I do believe we have had much worse teams then this before." Ozpin said with a smirk as he remembered a very certain dysfunctional team he had the pleasure of directing and guiding personally. "But if you are so worried, much like some of the other first years this year I will personally handle it." Ozpin said as he zoomed in on Hector right as he barely ducked under the swipe of another one of the Deathstalkers claw.

"So apparently this random boy is now a student with little to no qualifications?" Glynda asked with a quite frustrated grunt, needing at least confirmation that the headmaster was going to make yet another exception this year.

"But of course, I will not let this untapped potential go to waste. My in a span of just a few minutes he has become masterful in the art of dodging." Ozpin explained with a chuckle as he takes yet another sip from his mug. "His leadership skills will be needing some work obviously, but at least he is still alive."

Glynda sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, not answering verbally but showing that she is reluctantly going to allow this to happen. However, if one of them did get hurt she would not hesitate to disobey any order given to her in order to protect her future students.

"I'm glad to see that you agree with me." Ozpin said as he watched her make up her mind.

"No."

"Ah!" Hector yelped in a high pitched voice as he rolled away from another attack. Hector landed on his back and looked up at the death that was on its way, he shut his eyes tight and raised his arms in a piss poor attempt to block the powerful stinger, but he heard a thunk sound and cracked his eyes open to see what it could have he opened his eyes he saw a green shield of energy presumably made out of probably aura of some kind, protecting him from the tip of the Deathstalker stinger. he looked around for his savior and saw that Mike guy from earlier a good distance away in a state of focus as his arms glow green, along with his eyes, even though they were a light brown earlier. Hector visibly sighed another sigh of relief when the Deathstalker kept trying to break through the shield, but just couldn't even make a dent in it. it was no doubt Mike's semblance, and it just saved his life. "Thank you my shield knight!"

"Call me that again, and I'll bring the shield down." Mike threatened in return as he kept his focus on keeping the shield activated.

"C'mon it's pretty fitting for you. I like it!" Reggie declared as he sped-walked past Mike and broke into a sprint toward the Deathstalker once more.

"Of course you would." Mike responded sarcastically as he rolled his green glowing eyes.

Reggie chuckled playfully as he readied his battleaxe once more. Ashley began to slow down as she maneuvered her way around the Deathstalker, the fatigue slowly catching up with her since she was the one who has actually been fighting the longest. hector made a mental note that if they got out of this, he would train with her on stamina, God knows he would need it too. The next thing he did was sit down in his protective bubble and lean back to get more comfortable, it was a hundred times more safer in there then outside, and he would take full advantage of it. "Okay Reggie was it? It would be awesome if you would just go wild and attack the stinger on that thing. Just go wild man, no holding back required." Hector instructed from inside the safety of Mike's bubble.

"Really? Oh I like this guy already!" Reggie exclaimed happily as he powered up his battle axe with explosive fire dust along with adding some extra firepower as his arms and shoulders turn form skin into what looks like solid steel. He looked like metal man, to which Hector looked at with awe as he had a front row seat to watch that happen to his new ally.

With a huff and a hard launch Reggie leaped into the air and aimed himself toward to Deathstalkers stinger with a childish grin on his face. Once he set off an explosion from his axe behind him and gave himself momentum even faster than terminal velocity, Hector stopped thinking there was a possibility of that guy not being insane of some variety. After a few front flips he held his axe over his head and slashed down as hard as he could, cutting right through the Deathstalkers stinger and laughing as it fell to the ground after bouncing off of the creatures head, earning another pained screech as it rolled around on it's back after getting flipped over. As it did this Hector saw another opening, it's exposed underbelly was on display for everyone to see.

"Ash! Hit the belly!" Hector shouted as he pushed against the shield, only for him to fall right through the apparent one way shield and fall flat on his face with a pained grunt

"Pfft." Ashley tried her best to not laugh, but she ultimately failed that battle and started giggling uncontrollably, despite the fact that there was a massive Deathstalker completely vulnerable at the moment.

"Shut up, and do that Huntress thing." Hector groaned as he pushed himself up from the ground.

Ashley calmed down with a deep breath and nodded her head in understanding. It was time for her to get back to work. She ran around the Deathstalker a few times first, looking for an opening her speed and conditioning as a Huntress in training to deal the finishing blow. it actually looked like she was showing off when she kept dodging the desperate flailing with a smirk on her face, almost like she was playing with the damn thing when she had the perfect opportunity to kill it.

"Stop showing off and kill the damn thing already!" Hector shouted in indignation as he pointed to the belly of the Deathstalker.

"Ugh, fine." Ashley said with a roll of her eyes as she jumped up into the air after powering her legs with aura, and right as she landed she delivered a flurry of slashes and stab attacks directly into the belly of the beast. It was helpless the entire time, taking every single blow without being able to fight back. However it flailed one last time and managed to buck Ashley off of its body. She landed gracefully not too far from Hector himself luckily.

"Awesome job Ash!" Hector complimented and gave her a thumbs up, earning a thumbs up in return. "Now Colossus over there can use his giant axe to chop the thing in half!" He said next as he averted his eyes to the other guy in orange, who cackled in excitement at the way he was addressed.

Reggie crouched down and pumped some more aura into his legs, while he also turned his legs into metal to give himself an extra boost. With a grunt he launched himself into the air, his feet cracking the ground beneath him as he launched himself into the air. Once he was high enough he flipped through the air a couple times, laughing the entire time as he plummeted down toward the monster.

Hector realized that the guy completely made of metal and had an explosive fire axe hitting the ground at terminal velocity was probably not going to be healthy for him to stand around at the point of impact. "Er... Mike can you make another shield for me? Please?"

"Sorry bud, used all my aura for that one shield." Mike replied boredly as he says in his own protective bubble, a book in his hands and his lie becoming obvious as his shield was clearly protecting his own body.

"Oh that's just a load of fun now isn't it? Sure, just leave the guy who just had his aura unlocked just a few minutes ago with no protection, great idea." Hector deadpanned as he ran behind a tree, hoping that it would be enough to protect his body.

"You'll be fine. You didn't lose any aura to my knowledge so I doubt you would die." Mike said with an actual kind smile as he flipped over to the next page in his book. Which Hector could now see was titled Ninjas of Love; Because of course it would be that book in particular.

"Wait what about Ash-"

"Cannon ball!" Reggie shouted, cutting Hector off from his panicked question. He hits\ the Deathstalker at full force which creates a small but powerful shockwave to goes in all directions, followed by a bright orange explosion. Luckily, the only tree that actually fell down because of the force was the tree that Hector was hiding behind. Out of sudden desperation Hector was actually able to hold up the tree for a few seconds before jumping out of the way of the falling tree just in time, and watched as it landed in front of him with a thunderous thud. Next Hector placed one of his hands on his hip and brushed his brow of sweat with his other hand and looked toward the disemboweled pieces of Deathstalker that was sent flying around the area. It would be modest to say that he wasn't proud of himself for his plan working out the way it did. In the middle of the whole mess, Reggie was standing while covered from head to toe in black and dissipating blood. All with a smile on his face

"Well guys, our first official victory is upon us!" Reggie shouted as he pumped his axe up into the air.

"Yay!" Hector shouted as he pumped his own fists up into the air.

"You literally did nothing but shout orders at us, so I don't know why you're so excited right now." Ashley remarked playfully, no real hostility in her voice.

"Shut it, I happen to recall you specifically asking me for help, so you're welcome." Hector shot back, earning an embarrassed flush on his partners face as she refused to meet his eyes. That little battle of wits was won easily.

Reggie suddenly ran up to Hector's side and through one of his strong arms around his shoulders, pulling him into a tight hug which almost made Hector pass out because of the lack of air. "You let me have my fun so you're good in my book new friend!" He says before letting me go. "How bout you Mike?"

"I guess he's alright." He simply replies.

"Well, thi sounds like the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Hector choked out as he struggled to breath.

"Yeah- wait, what about the relics!?" Ashley suddenly remembered one of the objectives they were supposed to complete. Blue eyes staring hopefully into her partners.

"Yeah sorry, I yoinked the last piece I saw there before I started talking to you guys." Reggie said as he takes out what looks to be a black rook chess piece. Ashley's head hung down from sadness as she thinks she is going to be sent home… well she wouldn't exactly call it a home, but it was the best that she had. Hector actually felt the sadness emanating from her before he remembered that he actually yanked one himself. With a satisfied smile on his face he was released from Reggie's grasp and placed his hand on his partners shoulder, earning her attention back as she adorable perked her faunus ears up as he showed her the other black rook that he selected from one of the pillars.

"Awesome man! How'd you even get your hands on this?" She asked as she took the chess piece out of his hands and looked at it with a bright smile on her face.

"Eh, I have my ways." Hector shrugged, and then looked toward Mike and Reggie, who also selected a black rook piece. "Looks like we are all going to be a team."

Ozpin has already made all of the teams except for one more. That one more consists of Hector Rivers, Ashley Cain, Michael Cedric, and Reggie Nole. They all sat around eagerly as they awaited to be called up. Ozpin even looked Hector directly in the eyes, narrowing them at him as Hector nervously scratched the back of his head and looked away.

"And finally, last but most certainly not least, Hector Rivers…"

"Wait what-" Before Hector could question how he knew his name, he was pushed up by his partner to go onto the stage.

"Ashley Cain, Michael Cedric, and Reggie Nole." Ozpin called up the other three, making them all line up beside each other. Hector's heart was beating a million times a second as he stood still like a pillar, hoping that he wouldn't be in any of trouble for sorta not even being from that dimension.

"You four have retrieved the Black Rook pieces. Therefore you shall now be known as Team HAMR, led by… Hector Rivers!" Now Hector just had his mind absolutely blown, him, someone with zero combat experience somehow becoming a leader of a team of Huntsman, Ashley seemed to be a little annoyed by it, but she nodded in acceptance and hid any animosity she might have had, although her surprise could not be hidden in the slightest. Mike remained completely unfazed as he simply shrugged and simply nudged Hector in the side with a small congratulatory smile. All the while Reggie just walked over to him and slapped him on the back playfully. Hector was staring at Ozpin the entire time, in pure disbelief.

"Congratulations young man." Ozpin said, he even had the gall to give him a thumbs up.

In another part of the outskirts of Vale, another young man not from the world of Remnant wakes up with a pained grunt. He looked around a different Forest, one with all red leaves with him in the middle of some kind of path. He is around twenty years old, wearing casual blue clothing as he looked around the area with a confused glint to his eyes. He pushed himself up to a standing position and looked around almost desperately.

"Where the hell am I!?" Robert Urra asked the world around him.

AN- And there goes the beginning of a new story that I have just been itching to write.

Edit 2/3/2019: This Story is under a rewrite! There is just so much that I have to fix it is not even funny. Just so you know right now what is going on right now before you go on. If your read ahead, the quality is going to drop significantly and there will be holes in the story, of course if you enjoy it anyway then more power to you.

What do you all think of this new remastered chapter one? Better? Somehow worse? Let me know! I am very curious to hear what you guys think!
