Flashback...

Unknown Location...

"Sir, where are we heading to?!" a male Warlock called out loudly over the planes engines, strapped onto one of the seats with many other Warlocks and Witches on the cargo plane we were on.

"Where we're going, rookie, is the middle of the open ocean!" I replied back loudly.

"What for?!" another Warlock asked.

"You'll see!" I replied before I checked my flight pack.

*This is Raven-One to Black Leader, please respond,* my earpiece called out before I pressed the earpiece with my right index and middle finger.

"This is Black Leader, what is it, Raven-One?" I answered.

*We are within the training area, you can jump when you're ready.*

"Roger that, Raven-One, initiating jump now," I acknowledged before unstrapping the belt of the seat and stood up at the back end of the plane.

"Alright rookies!" I started, looking at everyone on their seats, "Check all of your equipment and get ready for your flight of your life, Warlocks, Witches!"

"Sir, when are we starting our test?!" one of the Witches asked while I slammed the button on the right of the plane, opening the back door of the plane.

"Right now, Witch!" I answered, before taking a step back, "your first test is to search and take me down, pure and simple, yet difficult. Remember your training everyone, because you're gonna need it out there, good luck!" I then instructed, giving them a two-finger salute, turned around and leapt out of the plane.


Present...

Somewhere in the Emerald Forest...

"Shite, shite, shite, shite, shite!" I yelled out at the top of my lungs, running for my life from a platoon of Beowolves.

After being launched off, I halo dived my way towards the forest and into the massive trees. I tried to stop my fall by embedding Midnight and Eclipse into a tree, instead I ended up slicing it down and the tree itself and I landed on an unlucky alpha Beowolf, killing it instantly. That being said, about five packs were around and chased after me, in turn I ran for my bloody life.

I turn around and pull out my Five-Sevens and open fired, each round meeting a head of a Beowolf before hearing a click from my pistols and started running again as I reloaded, keeping my empty magazines with me for later use.

As I ran, I look around and remembered the stunt I did with the tree, giving me an idea.

I kept running, putting my pistols away before I took out Midnight and Eclipse in their long-sword forms, then cut any trees that passed my way and kept running.

The trees fell in front of the platoon of Beowolves, blocking their way, unable to chase me, due to the trees being in the way.

"Damn, that was too close," I told myself, breathing heavily and slowed down my sprint to a walk.

I kept walking through the bushes that were in my way until I spot Weiss and Ruby walking with each other.

"Hey, guys!" I called out, running up to them.

"Huh? Oh hey, Ekuro!" Ruby spotted and greeted me but Weiss just kept walking on.

"What's the hurry?" Ruby asked Weiss.

"I will not let my mission be delayed because you're too slow. I swear if I get a bad grade because of your-" Weiss explained to Ruby before she was interrupted by Ruby appearing in front of Weiss, doing doggy paddles.

"What the-" Weiss said in a surprised tone.

"I'm not slow see? You don't have to worry about me," Ruby said, being positive as always.

"When did-"

"Weiss just because I don't exactly know how to deal with people doesn't mean I don't know how to deal with monsters," Ruby explained to Weiss, putting one arm around Weiss.

"You're about to see a whole different side of me today Weiss, and after it's all over your gonna be like, 'wow that Ruby girl is really, really cool'," Ruby explained to Weiss, with her other arm extended out.

"And I wanna be your friend," Ruby finished off before disappearing in a trail of rose petals.

"I've seen her fight before and she's pretty good at it," I told Weiss.

"You may be fast but you excel at wasting time!" Weiss yelled out to Ruby but with no response.

About a few second of silence, I felt a presence around the area.

"Ruby?" Weiss called out, getting worried.

Weiss and I started hearing rustles from the bushes as I slowly drew out Midnight on my right hand and a Five-Seven on my left.

"Ruby?" Weiss repeated Ruby's name again.

I then heard a growl and both of us turned around to see a Beowolf.

"Ahh shite, you again," I said to the Beowolf.

"RUBY!" Weiss yelled out loud, causing the Beowolf to roar, attracting more attention of Grimm around the area.

"Don't worry about Ruby, worry about yourself right now," I said to Weiss as I parried a swipe from another Beowolf from behind and put a round through its head.

I turn around to see Weiss in her trance and concentrating before her rapier chambers turns to the red chamber and lunged at a Beowolf in front of her. However Ruby appears in a storm of rose petals and takes a swipe at the Beowolf that Weiss had locked on.

"Gotcha!" Ruby said out loud.

Surprising Weiss, she forced herself to move her attack on a tree burning all of its leaves instantly.

Ruby witnessed the tree burning, lowering her guard. The Beowolf in front of her took a swipe at Ruby's scythe, pushing Ruby back and bumped into Weiss.

"Hey watch it!" Ruby said to Weiss.

"Excuse me! You attacked out of turn, I could've killed you!" Weiss argued with Ruby.

"You'll have to try a lot harder than that..." Ruby quietly said.

"Hey guys, less arguing, more surviving," I told to them both, observing the surroundings to only realise we were surrounded by Beowolves that I thought I got away from.

"I thought I lost them," I thought out loud to no one in particular as Ruby, Weiss, and I were back-to-back.

"Wait you're the cause for all of them to come here?" Weiss asked me.

"Uh...maybe?" I cautiously answered as Ruby reloaded her Crescent Rose.

Then a burning tree fell down as Ruby cocked her weapon, getting ready to fight.

"We have to go!" Weiss told Ruby, grabbing her arm and started running, dragging Ruby with her while I ran behind them.


After all that running from the forest fire, we were catching our breath when we were far enough.

"What was that?! That should've been easy!" Ruby complained to Weiss.

"Well perhaps if you would exercise even the slightest amount of caution with the placement of your strikes, I wouldn't have set the forest on fire!" Weiss arguing with Ruby.

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

"I'm just surprised that someone that talked so much would communicate so little during an encounter."

"Um guys can we just get along?" I asked, trying to defuse the situation.

"NOT NOW, EKURO!" Both Weiss and Ruby yelled at me.

"Well, I'm sorry you need my help to win a fight, I'm just fine on my own!" Ruby continued her argument with Weiss.

"Well, congratulations on being the strongest child to sneak your way into Beacon. Bravo!" Weiss then sarcastically congratulated Ruby before walking off.

Ruby hearing what Weiss had said, she became enraged and brought out her scythe and swung at the nearest tree, cutting straight through, while I quickly ducked under her strike due to the fact I was in between Ruby and the tree, then proceeded to follow Weiss dejectedly.

"Goddamn...things couldn't get any worse..." I said to myself, then noticed a large feather floating down behind me.

"I just had to say it..." I then said before catching up to Ruby and Weiss.
