Note: I've decided that since this series will eventually catch up with the actual RWBY series and then a new chapter will be uploaded once a week, I might as well start now so I'll upload a new chapter every monday/tuesday (depending on your time zone)

"They're close, just a bit more to the right." Keeping my semblance activated, Rhet and I headed towards the girls.

Arriving just as the two of them stopped arguing (another minus for team work), Ruby is standing by herself looking hurt while Weiss is stalkings of into the jungle, in the opposite direction of the temple. Yep, they're lost. Turning to look at Rhet, who is shaking his head in disapproval at their lack of navigation skills, I can't help but laugh. The proper move to do is to climb a tree to look for it but apparently they have never been taught that.

Preparing for what is probably going to be a long, boring wait before the two of them start cooperating again, we sat on the tree branch and watched. Then, my ears picked up the cawing of a bird in the distance. Climbing up above the canopy, with Rhet following me, I searched the sky for the Nevermore. There it is, it is heading in our direction and is still a kilometre away.

"Why is the Nevermore moving, didn't the reports say it would be resting today?" Rhet asked, his eyes following where I am looking at. Mentally reviewing where the Nevermore resting area is and then guessing where the smoke and fire would have travelled, I realised that the smoke must have entered its perch and so it is moving to one with fresher air. Once there it will probably continue resting and it's currently just travelling, not hunting so we don't have to worry about it.

It is at this moment that the Nevermore flew above us, and Ruby, who is looking up at it seems to have gotten an idea. Running over to Weiss, she excitedly said, "Weiss, I have-"

"Be quiet Ruby! Can't you see I'm trying to figure out where we need to go?" Cutting Ruby off, Weiss continues studying the trees as if they will suddenly talk and tell her where to go.

"But Weiss, I-"

"NO! Let me concentrate so I can think up of a plan to get us out of this mess!"

"I DO have a plan, Follow me!" With that, Ruby starts running off into the direction the Nevermore is heading, without waiting for Weiss's reply. Weiss just stands there for a few seconds, though it is hard to tell whether in bewilderment or outrage, maybe both, then she takes off after Ruby, yelling at her to slow down. Exchanging puzzled looks with Rhet, wondering what type of plan involves a Nevermore, we started following them.

Catching up to them at the cliffs on the edge of the forest, watching them from the branches. Weiss just caught her breath as is insisting on knowing what this plan is while Ruby is carefully watching the Nevermore. It is at this time I get a message through the private communication network.

"Hey boss?" Fireo's voice coming clear through the earpiece.

"What is it Fireo?" Remembering that Fireo is partnered with Jaune, I'm guessing this is bad news.

"Well Jaune is partnered with this girl with gold armour who is partnered to Lioso."

"Pyrrha Nikos." Her report states that she is an excellent fighter and has won several competitions. Its good to know that Jaune is partnered up with someone who knows what they're doing.

"Yeah, and they are outside the Deathstalker cave, I think they're going to enter it."

"Okay, keep me updated on what happens. Will out" Why do these students always create more trouble for themselves.

"Fireo out."

"WHAT!? Ruby are you INSANE!? Riding the Nevermore, that was your great plan!? IT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA!" Weiss's incredulous voice came from below us.

"Yeah, it is a great plan," Ruby doesn't seem to understand sarcasm and must have tuned out the last bit of what Weiss was saying."On the Nevermore we'll cover ground really fast and have a good view of the whole forest!"

"Well, if you put it that way, I guess that it may be a good idea but I think that we should RUBY WAIT!" Ruby hearing the words good idea immediately ran out from the tree and started scaling the cliffs, just on the right of the small platform the Nevermore is resting on. Weiss, muttering something about childish behaviour, started climbing after her. Ruby is slowly approaching the Nevernore's right talon, motioning for Weiss to approach its left one.

"Uhm Boss? They entered the cave." Fireo told me through the earpiece.

"Got it." Returning my gaze to Ruby and Weiss. With a shout from Ruby, they two of the started charging towards the Nevermore and grabbing its talons. Shooting a few bullets upon reaching the talon, causing the Nevermore to caw loudly and take off, Ruby yelled for Weiss to hold on. Looking a Rhet to see whether or not he is thinking the same thing I am, and getting a nod in return as he said " A for courage"

"F for lack of thinking things through." Following them from the canopy. They're pretty lucky since the Nevemore's flight path is taking them above the temple. Then of course, they'll have to figure out how to get down without breaking every single bone in their body. At this rate we'll be at the temple in less than half a minute. Suddenly a high pitch scream came piercing though the forest.

"They aggravated the deathstalker boss…" No joke Fireo, no joke. All the invigilators are on the public channel and are asking what's happening, "and Jaune is holding onto the stinger…" That takes the cake in dumbest initiation death, "and he let go." Sigh.

"HEADS UUUUUUUUUUUP!" Ruby let go of the Nevermore. On her left Jaun is sailing though the air. Great. First death in years and it is going to be a double death. Great.
