Weiss and Ruby walked into the clearing of trees when Ruby suddenly comes to a stop. Weiss looks over at Ruby concerned as to why they had stopped before Ruby slowly looked up to the sky.
"Ruby?"
"Oh.. Um Weiss, we might have a very tiny problem." Ruby points to a large nevermore swooping down towards them at fast speeds causing Weiss to pop Ruby upside the head with her hand slightly "Ow! Weiss what was that for, we have a nevermore charging at us and you hit me! What the heck!" Ruby tries to help Weiss limp faster away from the charging nevermore, but at this pace it would catch them sooner or later.
"Because Ruby! That's not a little problem!" Weiss grunts as Ruby drags her along while trying to keep her breathing from going ragged and come out as painful pants.
Ruby looked at Weiss concerned and then back to the nevermore before deciding to do something a little more Ruby style. Ruby once again comes to a stop causing Weiss to wheeze a few times from Ruby pulling her along quickly a few minutes ago
"Weiss, do you trust me..?" Ruby asks slowly.
Weiss seethes, "Ruby I really don't know how that is supposed to help-"
Ruby turned and looked Weiss dead in the eyes seriously. "Weiss. Do. You. Trust me?" Weiss groans agitated
While Weiss thought of Ruby as a friend and trusted Ruby, she couldn't help the other half of her conscious whispering about Ruby wanting to befriend her and then betray her. Weiss tried to ignore the thoughts the best she could since now was not the time to show signs of weakness. "Y-Yes! Now what does-" but before she can speak anymore Ruby shushes her
"Good, then let's go~!" Ruby grabs Weiss's hand and kicks off the ground and into the air before activating her semblance sending them both at the nevermore's lower body. Ruby flew into one of the nevermore's talon's before getting a grip on it "Aha! got you, you big bird! Hey Weiss, isn't this fun! I've always wanted to do this!" Ruby looked down to see Weiss dangling from her hand while looking down at the ground as the nevermore flew higher, she then slowly looked up to Ruby in horror.
"Ruby?! What on the earth do you mean 'Isn't this fun?! Your definition of fun for a normal human.. No, better yet! Person! Is the exact opposite of fun! " Weiss lifts up her other hand and uses it also to grip onto Ruby tighter while trying to curl her legs up. "Ruby Rose, get us down this instant! I demand it!"Weiss shrieks while Ruby watches her freak out below her while grunting since Weiss's movements encumbered Ruby.
"Weiss! Stop wiggling so much and climb up me, you can grab onto a talon! You're getting a little heavy on my arm and if you hold on to it any longer you might just pull it off!" Ruby squeezes her eyes closed before pulling Weiss up more to her waist in which Weiss gladly holds on to for dear life. "It was a good idea at the time! Look! I see the abandoned temple! Oh hey, it's Yang and Blake! We should probably-" Ruby's voice goes to a high-pitched squeak as she hadn't noticed Weiss carefully crawling up her body and to the other talon next to her.
"Oh, hiya Weiss! Beautiful weather up here, huh?" Ruby gives a playful grin,
"I can't believe you just said that.. You had better be glad my hands are busy right" Weiss grunts trying to ignore the pain in her chest and continuing her climb up Ruby before grasping onto the talon next to them. Weiss looks down at the temple approaching while Ruby simply flared up her aura a few times to get Blake's attention. Ruby also waves energetically towards Yang.
Blake's P.o.v
Blake feel's the same spark as she had felt from the night before, but with more aura signaling her alpha needed her. Blake looked around frantically since normally the instinct to protect one's alpha were quite strong and could possibly blind one's senses. Blake stops when she heard a familiar howl that she and Yang had heard earlier and looked up to the sky.
Yang watches Blake point to the sky with wide-eyes before she slowly looks as to where Blake was pointing, as soon as she sees what Blake was pointing to, she begins to slap her knee and laugh hard. "Is that.. Rubes!? And, she got Weiss on a nevermore! Oh my.. This is pure gold! Blake...! Hold the relic.." Yang gasps out before handing it over to Blake who took it.
Yang clutches her stomach trying to calm her laughter and after a few minutes she finally manages to breathe again. "Whew!" she wipes the tear that had formed in her eye from laughing so much.
Blake and Yang watched as the distant wolf faunus's hand wave around excitedly causing Blake to face-palm and Yang to raise on her tiptoes, waving back to Ruby with just as much energy and yelling. "Nice ride sis!" Blake grabs Yang's hand and makes her lower it before looking at Yang. "Why on Remnant are you two waving like she just got a new airship for her birthday? That is a nevermore!"
Yang shrugs, but keeps her grin. "We should probably get ready."
"Ready? Ready for what?"
"If I know my little sister, she's going to do something crazy real soon~!"
Soon after Yang says that they hear a loud "weee~!" and look up to see Ruby falling.
Back to Ruby and Weiss a few minutes ago
Ruby looked at Weiss before shouting over the wind. "Weiss! I can't hold on for that much longer.. You kind of were wiggling a lot earlier and now my arms are hurting!" Ruby pouts while trying to stay holding, but the truth was, Ruby just wanted to jump!
"Ruby, If you think of letting go of that talon you will regret it if you survive. " Ruby blinks a few times, but says nothing while Weiss glares at Ruby before hesitantly turning her head back to the ground trying to figure out how they would get down. She slowly turned back to Ruby only to see she had disappeared off of the talon that once held her dangling.
Weiss's eyes opened widely as she heard a loud distant. "weee~!" she quickly looks down to see Ruby falling and heard the last few squeals of delight. "Ruby, you let go purposely!" Weiss yells angrily, "Why you little!"
As Ruby was falling through the sky she saw Blake and Yang about to try to catch her when a sudden hard impact sent her and whatever flew into her to go flying into a tree. "Oof! Hey!" Ruby yells only to have the air knocked out of her.
In the tree Ruby was hanging upside down, entangled in branches that had caught her cape and clothing. Ruby glances over to the thing or person who knocked her out of the sky before noticing Jaune flopped out on a large branch. "Oh hey there Jaune!" She waves slyly to him before he looks up to Ruby and she continues while her tail was flopped out on her chest tickling her chin causing quiet giggles."Hey Jaune.. Could you maybe help me?"
...
...
"Ruby!" Blake and Yang shouted before quickly turning their head toward the sound of trees being smashed down and a loud. "Woohoo!" along with another voice yelling out a name, "Nora!"
The girl from earlier with orange hair comes riding in on an Ursa major along with a male teenager with long black hair tied into a ponytail that ends midway down his back and purple hair strip. "What in Remnants name!" Yang shouts slowly getting angry at all the ridiculous stuff happening around her, all she wanted was to go help her little sister out of the tree! Was that so much to ask for!
Blake heard another thing heading their way. "Uh Yang, we have more.." outcomes running a red-haired girl with a waist-length ponytail and vivid green eyes ducking and jumping over the claws of a death stalker.
"Well! The gang's all here! Now we can perish together" Yang sarcastically replies, "All we need next is for Weiss to come crashing down!" Yang punches her fist together while her eyes turn crimson red, "So why not punch down the whole nevermore!"
Blake looked up at the heiress before noticing her slowly letting go and falling. As she was about to reach the ground they all looked over to see Jaune about to jump out the tree and help Weiss, But Ruby intervenes and dashes off in a mass of rose petals before jumping up into the air as a red blur and catching Weiss bridle style. "Weiss, I got you!" she then activates her semblance one more time and makes it down to the ground safely.
Ruby places Weiss on the ground with a smile before Weiss pokes her finger hardly into Ruby's chest. "What was going through your head when you jumped?! You know what! I don't even care.. And.." Weiss tries again to say the words 'thank you', but they get stuck in her throat causing it to seem a bit suffocating before shaking her head and muttering. Ruby tilts her head with a 'hm?' "Nothing!" she mumbles.
"Weiss! Ruby!" Blake and Yang run over before hearing a loud thud come as Jaune falls out the tree on his face. "mmpft!" he cries out.
"Sorry Jaune! I got her!" she chuckles nervously before Jaune lifted a hand and gave her a thumbs up.
"Alright, so we have a nevermore and death stalker." Yang activates her semblance and clutches her fist, "Anyone have any ideas as to how we take these things down?" Yang glances around before over to her sister when she speaks up.
"I think I might have an idea for the death stalker! Also, before we forget, Weiss grab our relic! I'll be right back!" Ruby dashes off towards the death stalker never slowing down once before quickly tumbling out of the way of its oncoming stinger. "Ack! It almost got me, geez!" Ruby slides under the death stalker pulling out her scythe and quickly slashing away the legs to it before quickly rolling out from underneath it, she then quickly turns to her friends when she assumes she's a safe distance from the disabled death stalker.
Ruby doesn't notice the stinger speeding forward, slightly nudging the creature towards her when a sudden white figure speeds past her, causing her to fall down on her butt, and also to feel a sharp object poke at her back. "Huh?" she slowly turns around to see the death stalker's stinger frozen and Weiss standing up in front of Ruby with her arms crossed and shaking her head.
"Ruby.. Pay attention to your surroundings instead of showing off what you can and can't do! You could have just been extremely hurt!" Weiss scolds Ruby while scowling at the young faunus, she leans forwards and flicks Ruby's forehead. "Get up, we have to get out of here, the nevermore will come back any time and the ice can't hold this thing for long."
Weiss holds out her hand for Ruby to grab and pulls her up. "I'm sorry Weiss.. I'll pay twice as much attention next time, you just wait I'll be all eagle eyed! No! Better yet," Weiss simply limps away from Ruby "Weiss wait, I wasn't finished with my-"
"Ruby! Just shut up and come on, Everyone is leaving back to the hill!" Ruby nods before catching up with Weiss and the others.
As they were making their way back they spot the nevermore returning and attacking "Aw, what's with our awful luck?!" Yang roars.
After the fight with the nevermore
The group of 8 tiredly climbs the hill to see the headmaster standing there with a scroll in his hands, watching the other student's before he notices them.
"Welcome back, " he greets them before handing the scroll to Glynda and walking over to the group of 8. "I assume you all have your relics?" they all nod.
The headmaster glances over to Ruby and chuckles at the still energized young faunus. "Alright, you all may go rest or do as you wish until we send you messages on your scrolls that everyone is back. After that we can begin to make up the teams, but make sure you all bring the relics with you, understood?" everyone nods and begins to go off to their own doings.
Ruby walks up to Weiss before tapping her shoulder slightly to get her attention. "Hey Weiss, you know how I kind of ran off and let you get the relic?"
"Yes.. What about it?"
Ruby smiles slightly, "I saw Blake and Yang's a few minutes ago and saw the headmaster chose to use chess pieces and wondered which one you got for us!"
Weiss slowly reaches into her hidden pocket in the side of her skirt before handing over the knight chess piece. Ruby looks at it, then back to Weiss. "OhMyGod Weiss this is so cute! You really are princess like!"
"I.." Ruby giggles causing Weiss to blush and grab the piece and storm off embarrassed.
"Weiss! Wait, I was just joking about the princess thing!" Ruby runs off after the heiress, but what the two didn't know was the bumblebee duo watching the event go down with smiles.
"They're like an old married couple! That's so adorable!" Yang snickers which gets a quiet giggle from Blake as well.
"I agree, seems like those two are going to have an interesting few years together as partners. Anyway, I'm going to the library."
"You wouldn't mind if I accompanied you, huh?" Yang grins down at Blake
"As long as you're quiet, then of course not."
