SLJR Episode 4

"So uhh, me and Sapphire are already a team, so, we need to go find someone for you" Jet said. Lavender thought to herself "Who am I going to team up with, I mean I've always worked by myself, I fight for vengeance, and if someone gets hurt so be it. In my opinion a team will just slow me down." Lavenders thoughts are interrupted "Are you cool with that, because if not we'll just part ways." Jet asked worriedly. "Yeah, I guess we could do that" Lavender replies. "Okay lets see if we find someone on the way to the temple." Jet announced who seemed to be taking the spot as leader. The trio sprinted through the forest when all of a sudden a man fell gracefully from a tree and killed a beowolf hiding behind a tree with two thick swords that looked like were coming out of his elbows. "Man, that was cool. Oh hey guys didn't see you there." Lavender immediately noticed that his hair did not look like hair. More like feathers, this hunter in training was a bird faunas. "Dude, your a bird faunas, that's awesome" Jet announced like a little kid. "Well I guess its pretty cool, so We were told we had to team up with the first people we made eye contact with, and well you 3 qualify." "I guess. Its pretty awkward how that works, but, umm Jet and I are already a team so, it looks like you and Lavender will be working together." Sapphire replied hiding behind Jet. Lavender looked at the man that fell from the tree, who was muscular and tan, red feathers where his hair should be, red eyes. Wearing a white button up shirt and red jeans, red high top sneakers. And his weapon was two light machine guns that turned into thick long swords that are harnessed onto his forearms. "Hmm, it could be worse. I guess I don't have any other options." Lavender thought. Jet asked "Hey, I didn't catch your name, what is it?" "Oh, right... promise not to laugh, my parents aren't exactly... original" "Don't worry man, for some reason everyone's name is related to a color" Jet replies playfully. "The names Robin Free, nice to meet you three" "Hello Robin, the girl over there in the combat skirt is Lavender, The girl hiding behind me for some reason, is Sapphire Lake, And I'm Jet Black." "Well now that we all know each other, lets get to the temple, I know where it is, I saw it at the top of that tree, follow me" Robin announced "So, Lavender, what do you think?" Jet playfully asked Lavender. "Ugh, grow up" Lavender replied. "He is helpful, maybe it wont be so bad" Lavender thought to herself.


When Jet arrived at the temple his eyes locked on the black king chess piece. "Claimed" he announced as he took it off of its pedestal. "Seriously, how old are you?" Lavender asked with an attitude. " I'm 18 yea-" "It was a rhetorical question Jet!" Lavender shouted. Robin announced "Well, we will take the gold king piece. It also seems that we are the last ones here because these where the only pieces left, its ironic how the most important pieces in chess were the last pieces to be taken." "Well that just means the they saved the best for last" Jet announced optimistically "So now we've got to take the pieces back to the cliff." Jet lets out a long sigh. "So let the fun begin" he announced sarcastically. Sapphire, Lavender, Jet, And Robin began their journey back to the cliff, everything was going well until the group ran into a Death Stalker. "You've got to be kidding me!" Jet screamed "We are right here the cliff is like 100 feet away" Sapphire grabbed Jets arm "Calm down, screaming wont fix anything, I think I've got a plan" Sapphire says.

"And you think this is going to work?" Robin announced worriedly. "Maybe" Sapphire says shooting fear into the air "Well, its all we got, and I trust Sapphire so we will make it happen" Jet says. "Okay, lets revise, I will use the explosion of my arrow to send Robin in the air, Lavender, when Robin is falling down make sure you cut of the stinger, Jet use your semblance to cut off its legs to keep it in place, Robin, stick your two swords in front of you and make yourself a missile, stab it in the head, and the plan goes wrong we regroup and try again." The group follows Sapphires commands and gets into position. "We need to get it in the shadows Robin, I can only use my semblance in shadows." Jet says. "Okay we just need to wait for it to get under a tree... wait for it... Sapphire now!" Robin commands. Firing off an arrow 3 feet in front of Robin, Robin leaps in the air and uses his semblance, gliding. The arrow shoots him 50 feet in the air, when Robin is at the peak of his launch Lavender gets her sword ready and kicks off of a tree and cuts the stinger off of the death stalker. At the same time, Jet disappears in a black cloud, now invisible Jet gets a running start and slides under the Giant Scorpion creature, slicing its legs off, Robin dive bombs with his swords in front of him and stabs the Death Stalker in the head, dealing the final blow. "Holy Crap, It worked" Sapphire announced. Sapphire jumped from the top of the tree and ran to the group who was in shock that the plan actually went well, "Great job Sapph!" Jet announced.

"Sapphire Lake, Lavender Bush, Jet Black, And Robin Free. The four of you retrieved the white king pieces. From this day forward you will work together as Team SLJR, Lead by Sapphire Lake. "Whaaaaa!" Sapphire let out confused. Jet thought to himself "I'm proud of her, she's a great strategist but combat wise, she is not ready, whatever I'm still happy for her" "Congrats Sapph!" Jet announced as he hugged her. "Woah, I- I'm not ready to be team leader Jet, I cant do it" "Don't talk like that, C'mon lets talk" Jet whispers in her ear. Team SLJR goes back to sit down and let Ozpin finish introducing the teams, but Jet Pulls Sapphire to the side. "Sapph, I know you are worried, but you are going to be a great team leader, now with combat, I'll help you every morning okay, we'll go out and train, I'm going to help you get over your fear okay, and I've realized its only when you get close to one, that's all we need to work on" Jet tells Sapphire, " Okay, but I don't want to be a burden on yo-" "Don't talk like that, I've only known you for a couple of days and we are already great friends, when I saw you crying in the forest I still teamed up with you, when you told me your story, I still teamed up with you, you are not a burden on anyone and you are defiantly not a burden on me, we probably wouldn't have survived today if it wasn't for your plan today." "Thanks Jet, I promise I will get over my fear, I'm gonna be the best leader at beacon!" Sapphire announced with a fire inside of her. "That's the Spirit, C'mon lets catch up with the others."
