chapter, 2; Players and Pieces, And birds,

"It's not your falt Ruby. How could you have known the bird would be in your flight path?" Cole told his new redhooded friend."But, 'sniff',but it didn't do anything wrong!" Ruby said trying not to the past 30 minutes or so Ruby, Weiss, and Cole walked toward the direction the relics should have walking Cole began doing his weird "therapy sessions" with Ruby who for some reason was feeling guilty about a bird she accidently ran into apon being launched. While this was going on Weiss stayed As far ahead of the two idiots as possible.'How could this have happened?'she thought.'I was suppose to partner up with someone skilled,smart, and normal. And yet here I am stuck with a clutsy girl two years younger then me and a weird guy that can read minds and wares a stupid hat!' "What's wrong with my hat?" Cole asked appearing right behind Weiss making her jump in surprise."Cole! Wil you please stop doing that!"Weiss screamed. Cole backed up some with his hands held up in a defensive position.
"I'm sorry Weiss. I can't help it. I can't control what I hear or feel inside peoples hearts." 'If she had a heart.' Ruby thought. "Well that wasn't very nice Ruby."
Cole said turning to Ruby causing her to freak out a little about Cole pretty much rating her out."What? What'd she say about me?" Weiss asked looking offended despite not knowing what Ruby said (or thought) about the three of them stopped dead in there tracks."Do guys feel like where being watched or something?"
Ruby asked the other two."Yeah. I think there's something here." Weiss said preparing her sword."Oh. You mean that giant bird thing over there flying towards us?"Cole asked the two girls slowly turned in the direction Cole was pointing at. Sure enough there was a nevermore flying towards them and getting closer.
Weiss turned to Cole and said,"I really hate you right now Cole."Before they drew there weapons however."Wait guys! Ruby said causing the two to stare at her."I have an idea."

meanwhile: at the temple

Yang and Blake where the second group to find the temple and found chess pieces lined up."How about a cute little pony?"Yang asked her partner.
"Sure." Blake said rolling eyes at her. Suddenly they heard a womanly shriek aways a way."I think a girls in trouble!"Yang said before hearing a femilier voice above them.
"Look ou below!"Ruby screamed down.

A few minutes before:in the sky

"This was a terrible idea!" Weiss screamed over the wind as they rode on the nevermore."Personally I've heard worst ideas!"Cole said throwing in his two cents.
"Thank you Cole!"Ruby yelled back taking it as a complament."Well how are we suppose to even get down anyway!"Weiss screamed agitated."Well if you don't like it then we should just jump then!"Ruby said angrily."Are you crazy!"Weiss screamed only to realize Ruby had already jumped."Can you believe she just did that?!"Wess asked turning to Cole only to find him missing to."OH YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!"Weiss sceamed.

present:

Ruby was aproching the ground fast until a blonde haired boy nocked into her in mid air and into a tree."Hey Ruby." Jaune said "Did she just fall from the sky?"Blake asked."Um-"Was all Yang said before being interupted by a noise nearby.
Suddenly an ursa emerged from the forest roaring and growling until an expolsion caused it to fall revealing a girl on it's back."Yeeha!"Yelled the new girl before the grimm fell dead causing her to fall foward." Aaww it's broken."She said before getting up and checking the corpse."Eeeewwww."She proclaimed before a guy came running after looking winded."Nora please."He panted."Don't ever do that again."He asked her before looking up only to discover her gone as she was at the temple already. The orange haired girl was already there looking at a rook piece."Ooohh" she odded,before picking it up and doing a little dance and song."I'm queen of the castle,I'm queen of the castle."
She sang."NORA!"The boy yelled."Coming Ren!"She yelled back happily."Did she just ride in on an ursa?"Blake asked."I"Yang said before Ruby appeared next to her after getting out of the tree."Ruby?"Yang asked."Yang!"Ruby said excited."Nora!"Nora appeared out of no ware surprising the sisters. After that a deathstalker appeared chasing a red-haired girl."Did she just run here with a deathstalker chasing her?" Blake asked again. Finally Yang had enough."THAT'S IT! Can we all just chill out for five seconds before anything else crazy happens?!"Yang cried out. 5...4...3...2..."Uh yang?"Blake said looking up while Yang hung her head in defeat.

Meanwhile; back with Weiss,

"HOW COULD YOU BOTH LEAVE ME?!" She yelled barely hanging onto the flying grimm."I said jump Ruby said."She's gonna fall." Blake stated."She'll be find." Ruby assaured Her."She's falling."Ren stated. Just then Jaune managed to recover from his first meeting with a deathstalker to see Weiss falling from the sky. 'This is it'he thought.
'Nows my chance to impress Weiss!'He lept into the air and caught Weiss bridle style."Just dropping in?"He said trying to sound cool only to realize he was in the air now too."Uh-oh!" He said falling down with Weiss in his arms. Both of them hit the ground,but Jaune took most of the impact."My hero."wiess said sarcasticly while checking her nails. Suddenly Pyrrha was nocked to the rest of the group by the deathstalker."Great the gangs all hear. Now we can all die together."Yang said a little sarcastically.
"Not if I can help-wait!Where's Cole?"Ruby Said looking for her other friend."Who?"Yang asked before a voice next to her took her by surprise."Hello."Cole said squatting down looking at one of the chess pieces in his hand causing Yang,Blake,Jaune,Pyrrha,Ren,even Nora to jump and scream in surprise.(Jaune sounding like a girl which Yang happened to notice).

"Who are you?!"Asked Blake still surprised by the strange boy in the big hat."Were'd you come from?"Cole stood up and faced the group."I've been here the whole time. You just didn't notice me until I wanted you to."Cole said with not a single bit of humor in his words."Wha-how-whe-I've got so many questions!"Yang screamed unable to process what the strange boy said."His name is Cole."Ruby said."He saved Weiss and me from a pack of beowolves."When she said that Yang turned to Cole and said,"Well If we survive this remind me to buy you a thank you dinner."Cole simple stared at her and said,"I appreciate the offer,but I don't eat food."At this the group just stared at him strangle."How-"
Before anymore questions were asked,however the group was reminded of the two grimm before them."Survive this now,ask questions later." Blake suggested."I got this." Ruby said before charging the grimm."Ruby wait!"Yang called out,but it was too late. Ruby charged the deathstalker only to be punched down."D-don't worry",she stuttered.
"T-totally fine."She claimed before turning around and firing a shot at the deathstalker only for it to bounce off it. She tried to run back to the group only for the nevermore to fire a berrage of feathers at her with one feather snagging her cape and pinning her to the ground."Ruby!"Yang called out trying to get to her younger sister. Then two blurs blew right past her. The deathstalker raised it's stinger to finish off Ruby,but when it brought it down it's stinger was suddenly frozen in place. When it tried to break free however it was stabbed in one of it's eyes which caused it great pain."You are so childish."Weiss stated as Ruby looked up at her saviors.
"Weiss? Cole?"Ruby asked surpirsed."And dimwitted,"she coninued."and hyperactive, and don't get me started on your fighting style." While Cole was watching the deathstalker (The Iron Bull would have loved that name) he kept his ears on Weiss and Ruby's conversation."And I suppose I can be a bit-"she paused looking for the right word"difficult,but if were gonna do this where gonna have to do this together. So if you quit trying to show off I'll be...nicer."I'm not trying to show off" Ruby said,"I want you to know I can do this." Before Weiss could say anything Cole decided to speak. "You don't need to prove yourself Ruby."Cole said turning toward the two smiling."Weiss already believes in your skills. Even if she won't admit it."
Ruby and Weiss couldn't help but blush at Coles smiling face."Now then."Cole countinued."I think we should get what we came for and go. No use staying here fighting these two monsters when there's no reason too."Cole's right!"Jaune chimed in."We got what we need so lets get out of here!" He grabbed his chess piece and met up with his partner.
"Here Ruby."Cole said tossing her the piece he grabbed earlier."This is your test. You should be the one to carry the relic."Ruby nodded as she got up."Now then," she said as she got up off the ground."Lets get out of here."And with that the 8 students(and Cole)rushed out of there with the grimm right behind them.
