"Honestly, what are you doing?"

The cute little rabbit's ears perked up at the sudden voice, and it quickly dashed away from the cloaked scythe wielder in panic as her pale teammate stepped into the clearing, a scowl on her face.

"Aww, you scared him away, Weiss." Ruby looked off into the forest after the fuzzy creature. "He was nibbling my finger."

"We're not here to get distracted by cute little fuzzy animals, you dolt!" Came Weiss's sharp reprimand.

"But... But... Cute bunny..." Ruby looked up at her from where she was sitting on her knees in the soft grass, puppy face in full effect. Weiss felt her face twitch in annoyance.

"That look may work on Yang, but it won't work on me! Get up!"

"Okay..." The younger girl mumbled, still attempting to pull off the pitiful look. Weiss ignored it.

"Come on, we're out here to kill Grimm, not play with bunnies." She snapped again, before continuing in a softer tone, "Think of it this way, if we don't kill the Grimm, those little bunnies will become their lunch."

There was a slight glint in Ruby's silver gaze as she stared up at her teammate. "You just want to beat the other teams."

"That too." Weiss agreed, holding out her hand. "Now can we please go find our other teammates?"

"Yeah." Ruby took the offered hand, and Weiss pulled her to her feet. Dusting herself off a little, she asked, "Do you know where they went?"

"I'm sure they went this way." Weiss turned to face south, and Ruby had a feeling that was just the first direction she thought of.

"You're going to get us lost again, aren't you?"

Ruby was sure the older girl made an offended sound, but if she did, it was drowned out by the much louder sound of multiple explosions going off. The team leader smirked and pointed in that direction while keeping her stare on Weiss. "Hey look, I found my sister."

"Oh, just shut up and come on." The white haired girl snapped, proceeding to drag Ruby into the forest toward the sound of Yang beating something senseless.

It only took a couple of minutes for them to come upon another clearing, and Weiss pulled Ruby behind a tree instead of walking out into the open, peering out at the current battle that was taking place. "Why are we-"

"Shh." Weiss hushed her, her tone quiet as she continued. "Look. How did they manage to attract that many Grimm?! I bet there are a ton of Nevermore in the air, too."

"Weiss, Yang and Blake need us." Ruby pointed out, watching as her sister relentlessly punched an Ursa before jumping toward a Beowulf that was heading for Blake, who was on the ground. "I think Blake is hurt."

"It won't do them any good if we get caught up in the middle of it too, we need to think of a- Hey! Where are you going? RUBY ROSE GET BACK HERE!"

Ruby smirked, ignoring the older girl, before pulling Crescent Rose from its sheath on her belt and extending it into scythe form as she ran. She spun it around and fired a couple of rifle shots into the ground to launch herself into the air, and spun it again to slice the blade through the neck of another Ursa as she came down.

"Hey Blake, need some help?" She smirked, the heavy scythe resting on her shoulder for a moment as she turned to check on the immobile Faunus.

"Ruby, you need to get out of here. Yang got hit with something that's sent her berserker mode out of whack." Blake's amber eyes were wide with panic as she stared up at her team leader, silently urging the younger girl to leave before things got out of hand.

"She's my sister Blake, I'm sure it'll be okay. I don't want her to get hurt trying to fight all of these guys on her own." Ruby gestured to the Grimm heading for them. "Oh, looks like I can't talk anymore, bye!"

She was gone in a poof of rose petals, appearing further away to kill a pack of Beowulves. Blake stared after her with a worried expression, partially aware of the raging blond just a few yards away.

Ruby smirked to herself when she managed to defeat the entire pack in about thirty seconds, that was probably a new record for her. Actually, keeping score would be really useful if she ever had to remind Weiss that she was perfectly capable on the battlefield, maybe not in the classroom but she was great at fighting, which it seemed the heiress occasionally forgot. Speaking of her partner, she glanced back to see that Weiss had run over to join Blake, and the team leader found herself nodding in appreciation of the fact she seemed to be doing her best to take care of the Faunus' wounds.

The momentary distraction caused her to very nearly get hit by a barrage of Nevermore feathers, but she was somehow lucky enough for them to all land around her instead, and she glanced down for a split second to make sure her cloak wasn't caught this time.

Satisfied that she was still able to move freely, Ruby readjusted her grip on her beloved scythe and jumped out from behind the feathers. There was another Beowulf on the other side, and she easily sliced it in half and was about to head for the next one when a Death Stalker forced its way out of the forest nearby.

"Uh, guys, I might need some help with this one." She called, eying it warily as she remembered that it took the combined efforts of team JNPR to kill the last one. Also, this one was bigger.

"Ruby, you need to retreat. Blake can't even walk." She heard Weiss shout back, and she turned around to look at her partner. The heiress was standing with her hands on her hips, and Ruby couldn't help but think that what Weiss really wanted to say was 'get back here or be in trouble for the rest of eternity'.

She was about to answer when she spotted Yang running toward her, and instead turned her attention to her sister. "Hey Yang, just in time! Think you can help me with this thing?" She asked, casually pointing a finger at the giant scorpion still approaching from behind her. The blond didn't answer, however, and Ruby narrowed her eyes in confusion as she continued running instead.

Now the team leader was starting to feel a little worried, remembering Blake's warning from earlier. But Yang wouldn't hurt her, would she? "Yang? Are you okay?" Something felt very bad about this situation, and with a possibly out of control berserker in front of her and a very dangerous monster behind her, she could understand why.

"Ruby! What are you doing? RUN!"

Her partner's shout did no good. The team leader was rooted in place, unable to do anything but stare into the fiery red eyes of her sister as she continued to approach, and still being vaguely aware of the scorpion behind her. "...Yang?"

That one, barely audible word was the last sound she made before she felt the impact of one of Yang's fearsome gauntlets. As she flew backwards, she had to admit that Yang packed a hell of a punch, and decided she had a newfound sense of respect for anyone she'd seen her sister beat senseless and still be able to run away.

And then she was impaled on the Death Stalker's stinger, barely aware of her team's horrified screams of her name as she felt her own blood run down her skin, before everything went dark.
