Sorry about the late release, a whole ton of stuff came up recently. I won't go I to to much detail, but it involves an injured dog that I'm helping to,look after. Anyways, this concludes the miniature arc I started, apparently I forgot the definition of a drabble series, but who cares, I don't. Enjoy!

Blake threw gambol shroud, its hook embedding itself in the tree in front of her. Taking the other edge of the ribbon she tied it around the other tree that she was standing by. Tying it into the most secure knot she knew, she nodded at her handiwork. She texted Weiss, telling Weiss that she had done her part, and would wait up in the trees.

She quickly scaled the tree, setting her shadow down to lean against the tree, a perfect distraction for her targets.

"You're sure you'll be able to do it?"

"Of course I am silly! I'll even try to break their legs beforehand!" Nora answered Weiss' question with a chirp, her fingers dancing on the edge of her weapon.

"Don't." Ren warned her, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Aww, why not? They deserve it!" Nora pouted, shoulders slumping as she grumbled, her lips puckered in annoyance.

"Don't be an idiot, it would ruin the plan." Weiss explained as well, checking her scroll nodding as she read Blake's message of confirmation.

"Hey!" Nora fumed, giving Weiss the stink eye.

"What she means is, she doesn't want anything to go wrong, so be careful please." Pyrrha interrupted with a calm smile.

"Speak for yourself." Weiss muttered sullenly, aiming a sharp glare at Nora. "I'm only doing this because I'm obligated to."

Nora raised herself up to retort, her eyes blazing, but was stopped by Jaune's entrance onto the scene.

"Why are you guys-ugh-so hard to find?" Jaune was heaving for air. "You said the back of the school. I didn't think you meant hidden behind the biggest bush I've ever seen!"

"Sorry Jaune, but at least you found us in time." Pyrrha consoled him quickly before turning her attention back to Weiss. "So, what is our role in this?"

"You have good control of your aura right?" Weiss asked. "You could put up a barrier around other objects and keep it sustained without too much effort?"

"Yes, although it'll take some time." Pyrrha admitted, although she still gazed at Weiss questioningly. "What about Jaune?"

"You'll make perfect bait. They already hate your face so they should follow you easily enough." Weiss replied, not missing a beat as Jaune's jaw dropped to the floor.

"Oh come on! Why do I have to be bait!" Jaune exclaimed, looking outraged. "Why not Ren? No offense, but he's much faster than I am, wouldn't he be better for the job?"

"Ren is going to stay with Nora and keep Blake's ribbon invisible, or at least undetectable." Weiss explained, turning back to Ren. "You can do that, right?"

Ren nodded in agreement, Nora giving an extra bounce or two in excitement.

"But-"

"You remember who this is for, right? Now are you going to do your job or not?"

"Fine." Jaune sighed, although he still muttered syllables of discontent under his breath. Not like Weiss cared.

"Pyrrha, could you cover these ropes in aura." Weiss ordered, pointing to four ropes sitting behind her, all tied into loops on the ends. "Ren and Nora, go by Blake and make sure that the ribbon and Nora can't be seen. Nora, make sure you're charged up when Jaune gets there, you'll only get one shot. Jaune, go get CRDL and bring them to the two trees there, where Blake's standing."

Unsurprisingly, everyone went off to their respective tasks without complaint, even Jaune.

Pyrrha set to work, and while she was in the middle of covering the second rope asked, "Doesn't this seem a little complicated? You could just go to Ozpin."

"I promised her I wouldn't, unfortunately. The dolt doesn't want anyone to know. Like she'd be able to stop this on her own." Weiss snorted, crossing her arms and glaring at the leaves in front of her.

"But still…" Pyrrha kept going, determined not to let the subject drop easily. "You could have easily just ignored it. Why didn't you."

"I already said, I'm obligated to." Weiss shot back, walking away from her. "I have to make sure I'm in position. Bring me the ropes when you're done with them."

Pyrrha hummed in acknowledgement, focusing all of her attention on the task at hand.

Jaune didn't take long, running in a tangle of limbs towards the trees, team CRDL hot on his heels, a collective smirk their faces.

"I didn't think it would be like this!" Jaune wailed as he ran, shooting past the bush where Weiss crouched, Myrtenaster drawn. As CRDL followed, she slammed the tip of her rapier into the ground, summoning glyphs underneath the bullies feet, encasing their feet in ice that sprouted from the ground below.

Nora seemingly appeared out of nowhere, racing towards the boys as both her and the ribbon ahead became clearly visible as Ren stepped out of the shadows to run to Weiss.

Nora grinned, electricity sparking at her fingertips and running down the length of her unfurled hammer as she swung. The first strike took out half of the boys, the second strike took out the rest. She sent them flying straight towards the awaiting ribbon, which proceeded to catch them midair, stopping their flights abruptly and sending them straight to the ground, bleary and only half-conscious.

"Now!" Weiss shouted, taking one of the ropes, Pyhrra, Nora, and Ren each grabbing another for themselves.

Running to Cardin's side, Weiss smirked down at him as she put his foot through the rope and tugged it tight. The others did the same with their respective members, moving as quickly as they could before the boys' senses returned to them.

They passed the ropes along to Blake, one at a time, and she tied the other edges on one of the sturdier branches.

After her job was done, Blake jumped down to join the rest of her triumphant team as they admired their handiwork.

The boys were strung up in the tree, like meat hung up to dry, only able to mutter undiscernible words of outrage and confusion.

"What do we do now?" Jaune asked, still panting slightly.

"Nothing." Weiss said simply. "Just wait for Yang to show up."

"Won't it be bad if they know who did this to them?" Blake pointed out, although she was smiling herself as she looked at them.

"Yang said she has ways to make them keep quiet." Wiess said, turning to RNJR. "You can leave if you want."

"We'll stay." Pyhrra spoke for her team, getting nods of agreement from the other three members. "I think we're all interested in what Yang has in mind."

Yang was quick to show, storming down in a blur of flames and fury. By then team CRDL was fully awake and panicking, trying in vain the break the aura enforced ropes with their weapons.

"Hello boys," Yang said, her voice eerily chipper as she waved at the boys. It soon turned chilling as she continued. "I think we need to have a little chat."

Weiss swore that the entire team was trying to compress themselves as much as possible, shrinking away from the crimson eyed ball of thinly veiled rage looming before them.

"So, do you guys know a girl with a red cloak?" Yang cracked her knuckles, making the boys all flinch. "Kinda stands out from the crowd, doesn't really feel like talking to anybody, you know, just my sister."

The boys didn't even attempt to answer, shaking as hard as they were. Yang's grin grew, holding nothing but malice and anticipation.

"Now, let's get down to the real business."

When the rumours started circulating about what happened to CRDL, and the state they were found in, Weiss simply ignored the gossip, only smiling to herself only when no one was around to see it.

When Ruby came to find her the day after, looking like Weiss had just thrown her to a pack of grimm, all Weiss said was that she had upheld her side of the bargain, and hadn't told Yang of what happened. Which was true, but she didn't tell Ruby that she told just about everyone close to the girl besides Yang, then let them spread the message along.

When Ruby got permission to wear her cape to classes again, (Weiss suspected Yang had also been involved in that rearrangement) Weiss simply bid her congratulations in the driest tone she could muster. Although it was much more comforting to see the familiar cloak back on Ruby's shoulders, albeit a little paler from its abuse. The bottom of the cloak had been sewn back to normalcy with Blake's help, seeing as nobody else on the team had even the faintest clue on how to sew.

And when Pyhrra wouldn't stop pestering her to find out why she had planned the whole thing out like that, Weiss finally gave in and told her about the promise she had made to Ruby their second night as partners. Weiss didn't understand why Pyhrra looked so shock at the fact, nor why her smile became gentler as she said that now she understood where Weiss was coming from.

All she had done was walk into a problem that definitely would have screwed their team over in the future, remembered her promise to be the best teammate Ruby could ask for, and acted accordingly. It wasn't anything that remarkable.

Also, I'm still completely open to suggestions for future chapters, if anyone's interested in just putting their ideas out there.
