Team SPRK and Team CAND

should take you about 9 minutes to read

Part 1
The Briggs twins and Abigail Smith came across a clearing, they ran into a few Grimm on their way to the temple, they were easily dealt with.

Kalista enjoyed Abby’s company, she was funny and she liked being around her, Kalista could tell Calum liked being around her too.

“Hey! Look over there!” said Abby pointing to a set of ruins. “There’s the temple!”

The three made their way to the temple. When they got there, they studied the relics. They were chess pieces. Calum picked up the black Rook piece.

“This one okay Abby?” he asked his partner.

“Yup!” she said.

Kalista looked at the pieces. Then she heard snoring, Calum and Abby heard it too.

“What is that?” asked Kalista. They searched the temple, they didn’t find anything.

They heard it again.

Calum looked around the top of the temple, he spotted a bit of red. ‘That has to be where it’s coming from’ he thought.

“Hey! Is someone up there?” he said.

No one answered, just another snore.

Calum threw a rock. He woke up whoever was up there.

“What the hell was that for!?” yelled the person on top of the temple. It was a girl with short red hair. She looked down at the three people. She then swung her legs around the pillar she was sitting on and was now hanging upside down, face to face with Calum. (Kinda like when Nora and Ren became partners)

“Who are you?” she asked.

“Calum Briggs. And you?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Reena Hastings! What about you two?” she asked the two girls.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I’m Abby Smith” said Abby.

<p class="MsoNormal">“My names Kalista Briggs”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Aww that’s SO cute! Brother and sister going to the same school, and I assume, you promised to look after her, saying that you two would be on the same team, but that didn’t work out right?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“H...How did you know that?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I’m good with people. So I guess the little girl is my partner” she jumped down and looked at Kalista. She wrapped her arm around Kalista’s and dragged her over to a chess piece. “I already picked one, and it’s this one!” she said pointing to a black pawn piece.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Uh, okay” said Kalista.

<p class="MsoNormal">Reena turned to the other two “Now, to the cliff!” and she ran off still holding onto Kalista’s arm.

<p class="MsoNormal">“She’s...different” said Calum.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hastings...I’ve heard that name before” said Abby.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Come on Abby, we should go to”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yeah” and the two ran off.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Pallas and Selena made it to the temple, they could see two people running into the forest, and two others following not far behind.

<p class="MsoNormal">Selena picked up a black pawn piece “How’s this one?” she asked Pallas.

<p class="MsoNormal">Pallas looked at the piece and thought ‘blacks not really my colour, but I don’t want to anger or offend her, so I’ll just say yes’ and she nodded.

<p class="MsoNormal">As they were about to leave, they heard arguing coming from the forest, it was the voices of a man and a women.

<p class="MsoNormal">“HA! I told you I knew where it was!” said the woman.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I knew where it was! Just because you somehow got us here without killing us doesn’t mean you’re right!” said the man.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Without killing us!? You went picking fights with every Grimm you saw!” the voices were getting closer.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yeah and you didn’t do a thing! You just stood there and acted helpless!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“That’s not true! You would have died if I hadn’t saved your sorry ass in the first place!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I would have been just fine!” they could now see the two people arguing.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You sprained your ankle! You couldn’t do anything!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I don’t need your sass!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Sass!? Ladies aren’t sassy” the two were now at the temple. Pallas and Selena didn’t know what to do, so they just stood there, and said nothing.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh really? I don’t see any ‘ladies’ around here”

<p class="MsoNormal">“OH why you little...”

<p class="MsoNormal">She was interrupted by Pallas “Uh, hello”

<p class="MsoNormal">The man and the women looked at Pallas.

Part 2
<p class="MsoNormal">“Hello, there, so sorry if we were bothering you, my names Dante Roberson. What’s yours?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Uh, my names Pallas Mason” said Pallas.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dante then looked to Selena.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Selena Lupa” she said.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It’s nice to meet you two!” she then looked at the man with an angry look “Well, introduce yourself!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“The names Nathan Morrow”

<p class="MsoNormal">“You know, you can be SO rude sometimes!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Me!? What about you!?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“What’s that supposed to mean!?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Um, could you two maybe stop yelling at each other, I mean you’re meant to work as a team, so start acting like one” said Pallas.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What’s the supposed to mean?” asked Nathan.

<p class="MsoNormal">“She wants you two to shut up” said Selena.

<p class="MsoNormal">“S...Selena! That’s not what I meant! Really!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“So now that we’re here, what are we supposed to do?” asked Nathan.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Get a relic, you dummy” said Dante.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What the hell did you just say?”

<p class="MsoNormal">The two continued to argue.

<p class="MsoNormal">Selena, annoyed with their arguing, grabbed the first chess piece she saw, which was a black rook piece and shoved it into Nathan’s hand.

<p class="MsoNormal">“There, now you have your relic, can we leave now?” she asked Pallas

<p class="MsoNormal">“Uh, yeah” and the two girls walked back to the cliff.

<p class="MsoNormal">Nathan smiled “Those two are hot! I think the Faunus likes me”

<p class="MsoNormal">Dante smacked the back of his head, and then began walking back to the cliff.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Later that night.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Selena Lupa, Reena Hastings, Pallas Mason and Kalista Briggs. You received the Black pawn pieces, you will now be known as Team SPRK, lead by, Selena Lupa” said professor Ozpin. The other members of the team didn’t say anything, except for Reena.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Way to go Selena! We weren’t partners but we’re on the same team!” she said.

<p class="MsoNormal">Team SPRK walk off the stage.

<p class="MsoNormal">Four more students walk onto the stage.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Calum Briggs, Nathan Morrow, Abigail Smith and Dante Roberson. You received the black rook pieces, from now on, you will be known as Team CAND, lead by, Calum Briggs”

<p class="MsoNormal">Calum was in shock, he was a team leader? He couldn’t believe it. The worst part was, he couldn’t keep his promise to his sister. He can’t protect her if there not on the same team, he felt guilty. A feeling that will stay with him for his entire time at Beacon.

<p class="MsoNormal">The newly formed team exited the stage.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Calum!” said someone running up to him.

<p class="MsoNormal">He turned to see his sister. “Kalista”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Congratulations on being a team leader!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Thanks” he said half heartily. He was upset, but she was smiling and was happy for her brother.

<p class="MsoNormal">The other three members of her team came up to them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh, Calum, this is Selena, and you already know Reena and Pallas” she introduced her teammates to her brother.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hello, I guess I should introduce my teammates. Abby, you already met, this is Nathan and Dante”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Your sister is hot” said Nathan.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dante hit him on the head “Show some respect to her!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“NATHAN!” and a fist covered in a green glove hit him in gut.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Nice one” he said in pain.

<p class="MsoNormal">“That’s one point for me!” said Reena.

<p class="MsoNormal">The six other students stared at them, confused about what they just saw.

<p class="MsoNormal">Nathan and Reena laughed, then he punched her so hard on the arm, he knocked her down. She just got up and laughed.

<p class="MsoNormal">The others, still confused.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Come on we should go check out the dorms!” said Reena as she grabbed Kalista’s arm and ran off…again.

<p class="MsoNormal">The dorms were across the hall from each other. Before Calum went into his dorm, he pulled the first girl from Kalista’s team he saw, off to the side. It was Selena Lupa.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hey, I know I just met you, but I need to ask something big of you” he said.

<p class="MsoNormal">She just looked at him.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I need you to look after my sister, make sure she doesn’t get hurt, I don’t know what I would do if she got hurt. Please, please do this for me”

<p class="MsoNormal">She didn’t say anything.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Can you do this for me?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“…” she looked at him with a puzzled look “Who’s your sister?”

<p class="MsoNormal">He looked at her, ‘is she serious?’ he thought. “Kalista”

<p class="MsoNormal">Again she looked at him weird.

<p class="MsoNormal">“The girl with purple hair!”

<p class="MsoNormal">She was quite again “Okay”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Thank you very much. Selena, Right?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes” and she walked into her dorm.

<p class="MsoNormal">As he walked into his dorm, he thought ‘she’s a weird girl, but kinda cute’
