[3rd POV] [The Next Morning]
It was the next morning, and Gwen was already awake. She and the girls had ended up sleeping on the floor of the assembly hall, alongside the rest of the would be new students. As she was going to sleep, however, she ended up claiming her 5 NL characters.
[NL Characters - Cao Cao (DxD), Lapis Lazuli (Steven Universe), Predaking (Transformers Prime), Heimdall (MCU), Quintin Quire (Marvel, 616)]
She had fallen asleep as they were assimilating, so when she woke up, she was a bit...blindsided by what she was seeing...feeling.
It was everything. Every inch of Remnant was bare before her eyes, every person, ever blade of grass...everything. The sight of Heimdall allowed her to see more than she could ever before, feel more than ever before. And thanks to her other senses combining with her new eyesight...she could see more than any other person could ever hope to see. She could see into distant galaxies, and see far beyond even Remnant, showing her other planets around the RWBY universe, some living and some dying. Just as Heimdall had seen across the
Controlling the new sensations took only a few moments, and was...different. It felt strange to limit her sight to only Remnant, but it took only a few moments for her to limit it, and for her to adjust to the new things she was seeing. And as she looked into her own body, she noticed a couple of other differences.
Her hearts had changed. She had several hearts so they were already quite...unique, but now? Now they were entirely different. Like miniature reactors that were pumping more energy into her then ever before. Her "Gem" that Lapis should have given her, was her very hearts, her core. They glowed with a soft myriad of colors, colors that were quite beautiful, the "colors" being her energy.
But it was her soul that caught her attention, and it was what made her feel so...different. It had warped into something...new. It was stronger, akin to the hearts, but instead of it being a singular reactor, it was like the core of a sun. Like...a spark. The spark of Predaking had caused some sort of mutation to her very soul, causing it to grow and warp into something...more. It was now connected to her physical form, as her hearts and body were now a part of her "Spark" and thanks to her thousands of lives, her "Spark" was far beyond anything any Transformer could ever hope to have, by a vast margin.
Gwen wasn't entirely sure what this would mean for her, but she had a feeling that she had unknowingly gotten much stronger than before. For the energy known as "Energon" had fused into her "Ultimate Energy" or more accurately, her Life force, increasing her overall power even more.
What Gwen did know, is that her Spark had something deep within it's core, a dark, and powerful energy. A energy she suspects is her other energy, which she has dubbed "Omega Energy". Thankfully Gwen ould tell that it wasn't harming her or anything, but she certainly wished to know what exactly it was doing within her newly dubbed "Spark".
At the moment Gwen was with the girls, walking to where their entrance exam would take place. The Emerald Forest, a large forest outside of Beacon that was home to a shit ton of Grimm.
Walking there, Gwen noticed what looked to be a nervous Ruby walking slowly "You alright there, Ruby?" Gwen asked, noticing the nervous teen, said teen jumped at the sound of someone talking behind her.
"Oh! Oum don't scare me like that! And yeah, yeah I'm okay, just nervous, that's all" Ruby replied with a fake smile, causing Gwen to raise an eyebrow.
"No need to be nervous, Ruby, you're going to do just fine. Just relax and don't freak out, and you'll be fine" Gwen replied, which Ruby sighed at.
"Yeah I know, it's just this is a super big and important test! If I fail this then I won't ever become a huntress!" Ruby said. Gwen chuckled at this, before speaking.
"Like I said, you're going to be fine. Just trust in yourself and don't let your guard down, and everything will go well" Gwen replied, before continuing "Now, let's get to the meeting spot, the test should be beginning soon"

[At the test site]
Standing on a cliff, Gwen, the girls, Ruby, Yang, and all other students who were going to be entering the school, were lined up, standing on what were basically launching devices, not that anyone besides Gwen knew that. Standing in front of them was Ozpin and Glynda.
"For years you have trained to become warriors. And today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest" Ozpin started, before Glynda walked forward and continued.
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates, today" Glynda said, and this time Ozpin continued.
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well with. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partners for the next four years" Ozpin said, causing Ruby to groan at the idea of being paired with Weiss or someone she didn't know.
"After you've partnered up, make your way to the Northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path, or you will die. You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation. But, our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?" Ozpin asked, as the group all glanced at one another, shaking their heads.
A blonde haired boy attempted to get Ozpin's attention, but was ignored.
"Good, now take your positions" Ozpin said, as slowly each other student began to get launched into the sky above the forest.
"You guys make sure to get teamed together, alright? I'll probably be solo either way, so just make sure you are all together" Gwen said to them, which they nodded to. Korra and Artemis decided to get to one another first, with M'gann and Raven making the next duo. While Gwen would be going solo, as she already had an idea that something similar would be happening.
As the launching finally got to Gwen, she only had one thought on her mind as she was launched into the skies above the Emerald Forest.
'...Hopefully Ozpin doesn't mind if I kill all the grimm'

That's the end of the chapter!
Sorry about the length, but I decided to cut this short and dedicate the entire next chapter to the Emerald Forest and all that.
Anyways, have a good day!
