A month after saving the village, the team found themselves in the ruins of another one that had been attacked recently.
"I know we have to go through this village, but man is it creepy," said Ruby.
"Are you still afraid of ghosts, you do realize that thousands are living inside you as we speak," said Qrow.
"I try not to think of it," said Ruby. Suddenly, a blood curdling scream filled the air.
"What was that?" asked Yang as they all looked around, standing back to back as they searched the area.
"I think it was that thing," said Jaune as a Nuckelavee came out from behind a building.
"What's a Nuckelavee doing here?" asked Qrow. Before another word was said, the Grimm started to attack them.
"That thing's fast!" said Nora as they dodged its arms, which could stretch out several feet from the body.
"Let's see how tough it is," said Ruby as she readied to charge.
"Don't do it!" said Qrow. However, Ruby had already charged at it at top speed, but the Nuckelavee was faster.
"Ruby!" said Yang as she watched her sister slam into a building from being slapped by the Nuckelavee.
"Keep it distracted!" said Yang as she ran to check on Ruby.
"That's better said than done," said Qrow as he started to shoot at the Grimm, which did not faze it.
"That thing hits harder than I thought," said Ruby as she stood up.
"Are you alright?" asked Yang.
"I will be, once we kill that thing," said Ruby as her eyes started to glow. Meanwhile, the others were having trouble with the Nuckelavee.
"This thing's strength is ridiculous," said Jaune who had just been sent flying by a slap to his chest plate.
"Then why don't we put it on ice?" asked Ruby as she walked up. The next thing they knew, ice started to crawl up the Nuckelavee's body until the whole Grimm was incased in a thick layer of ice.
"Whoa, she froze it solid," said Ren as they looked at the frozen Grimm with stunned expressions.
"It still takes a lot of energy out of me to do that," said Ruby as she sat down from a sudden dizzy spell.
"You sure have gotten stronger," said a woman's voice.
"Who is it this time?" asked Jaune.
"That would be me," said a woman in a metal mask as she walked out of another building.
"What are you doing here, Raven?" asked Qrow with a hateful expression.
"I was nearby and wanted to see how my daughter and Summer's were doing," said Raven as she removed the mask.
"Mom," said Yang with a stunned expression.
