Partners.

Laura ran towards the grimm with her claws out. The grimm tried to hit her with its paw, only for Laura to duck and slice open its abdomen killing it. Laura proceeded to to cut open another grimm's throat, stab one in the head and then jumped in to the air before stabbing the last one in the chest.

With the grimms dead, Laura let out a satisfied sigh "I feel much better now. Time to find that artifact".

But just as she was about to walk another grimm showed up. This one looks like a bear, it was huge and covered in white spikes. Laura couldn't help but to grin a little at it.

"Alright then. I guess I got some more steam I can let of on you" She said as she got ready to fight again.

Laura couldn't shake the feeling that she was enjoying this more than she should. The massive bear grimm raised its massive paw and was about to crush her. However Laura ducked behind it and climbed up on its back using her claws. The grimm tried to shake her of until she stabbed it in the head and there by ending its life.

'Unless another grimm wishes to jump at me, I think its about time I get going' Laura thought before heading towards the temple.


Using her heightened senses, Laura smelled the air to see if any other grimms were near by. However instead of a grimm, she caught a familiar sent, it almost smelt like a cat. There was only one person she had met so far that smelled like that: Blake.

Following the scent she eventually found both Blake and Yang. It appears that they were partners now. Laura felt a little disappointed at that. She would much rather partner up with one of them than Weiss.

Yang noticed her and said "Oh, hi there sharp fist".

"Stop calling me that" Laura said "I guess you two are partners now".

"We are" Blake confirmed "Haven't you found one yet?".

"No. You two are the first once I've met since I landed" Laura answered.

"Wait. Does that make all three of us partners?" Yang asked.

Blake shrugged and said "We were an uneven number at the start so maybe".

Yang looked back at Laura and said "Would you like tagging along with us?".

"Sure, our objective is the same anyway" Laura said before all three of them continued.

They walked for a while until they finally found something that looked like a temple.

"Think this is it?" Yang asked.

"Unless there are more than one tempel out here then this must be it" Laura said as they went down to it.

"Chess pieces?" Blake questioned.

"Some of them are missing. Looks like we weren't the first ones here" Yang said.

"Well... I guess we should pick one" Balke said.

"They are different colors. I wonder if there are a different outcome depending on which one you pick" Laura mused as she looked at the different Chess pieces.

"Hmm... How about a cute little pony?" Yang suggested as she picked up a horse piece.

"Sure" Blake said with a small smile.

"That wasn't too hard" Yang commented.

"Well, it's not like this place is very difficult to find" Blake stated.

Laura continued to look over the pieces until she settled for a horse piece herself "Well, I guess it's time to head back to the cliff".

But then they suddenly heard a high pitched scream echo through the forest.

"Some girl's in trouble! Blake, Laura did you hear that?" Yang asked.

"Actually, I think that might have been Jaune" Laura said since she recognized the voice.

"What should we do?" Yang asked.

"Heads UUUUUUUUUUP!" A voice suddenly said from above.

Laura looked up and saw Ruby falling from the sky.

'Oh boy' She thought as she got ready to catch her'That girl sure is full of surprises'.
