Author's Note: Alright, here we are, a new chapter. Oh, in other news, I have lost contact with my old Beta Reader. I'm sure he's just busy, but until then, I am gonna need new readers to come in. If you're interested let me know in the reviews or my PMs, it doesn't really matter. Whoever becomes the beta reader will get to read the chapters early and also get an insight in how the story will turn out. I will also bounce story ideas off of them from time to time. I only need one so you will have to make an argument as to why you think you should be the beta reader.

Disclaimers: I don't own RWBY.

A Walk in the Woods

"Are we there yet?" Ruby groans.

"My answer is the same as it was when you asked me two minutes ago Ruby," Weiss responded without looking up from her map.

"But Weiss," Ruby complained, "We've barely moved a hundred meters since we've landed!"

"Complaining to me won't make it go any faster," Weiss counters.

"What are you doing, anyway?" Ruby asks, she glances down at Weiss.

"Trying to find where we are in comparison to where we landed and where we need to go," Weiss replies.

"You mean the forest temple?" Ruby asks, "I know the way, I saw it while flying over head. Follow me!" she cries excitedly.

But before she could take off, Weiss says sharply "No."

"No?" Ruby asks, confused. "Why?"

"I was planning on meeting up with a group before we made for the artifacts," Weiss replies, "It's not far from the artifact site…." Weiss murmurs, "But it doesn't hurt to be sure."

"O-oh," Ruby shifted nervously while looking north, "How long will that take?"

Weiss slightly quirks an eyebrow before asking "Any reason as to why you're in such a hurry?"

Ruby awkwardly responds "Well, it's just I was hoping I could get onto the same team as my sister."

Weiss eyes her and says, "You are aware of the likelihood of that actually happening is ...rather low to say the least right?"

Ruby freezes and swallows a lump in her throat. She desperately wishes that, that particular scenario wouldn't happen.

"What were you planning to ride on your sister's coattails for your entire career?" Weiss asks sarcastically.

"No," Ruby cries defensively.

"Ruby," Weiss sighs, "The whole point of this…." Weiss motions around her, "Is so that you…." she points directly back to Ruby, "Would actually meet people."

"I know, I-" Ruby whimpers, "I just didn't want to be on my own."

Weiss remained silent and looks at her sympathetically for a moment, and sympathetically. Ruby looks back at her, confused.

"And," Ruby protests, "You just told me you were meeting a group in the forest."

"Tha-" Weiss pauses as she realizes the box she had found herself in.

Ruby swallows a nervous lump as she waited for Weiss's rath. She watches as Weiss pauses for a moment to process what she had just heard. To Ruby's surprise

Now, had this been only a year prior, Weiss would have taken the comment personally and gotten all defensive. Like all humans, they are liable to change and they are known to be wrong every now and then. To her surprise, Weiss lifts her head back and lets out a laugh.

"Damn," Weiss laughs, "You're right I did say that." She looks back at Ruby and says "Do you know if she is going to wait for you by the artifacts?"

"Most likely," Ruby replies.

Weiss nods and says "Alright." Weiss gets up and folds her map back up before putting it back into her pocket. "Best not to keep her waiting."

"What about your group?" Ruby asks. "What about Grant, I mean ...that's who you're meeting with right?"

Weiss waves it off, "Don't worry about him, I can get him on the radio whereas I don't think your sister's scroll will be able to get a connection out here. Besides, Grant and his men are trained for these kinds of things. I doubt he really needs our help at the moment."

She plucks the radio from her belt, but before she does, she turns back to Ruby.

"Oh, and for your information, you're not alone," she says simply.

Ruby blinks in surprise.

"Whether you like it or not, we're…." she continued, "Now stuck together for the next four years. Wouldn't do us any good if we don't learn to get along and work together. So from now on, if we do anything, we do it as a team, deal?" she raises her hand and smiles.

Ruby smiles back and accepts the hand.

"Deal."

*explosion*

"Focus the machine guns on the females!"Anderson barks.

Malarkey and Seneviev shift their aim to the walls of the cove swatting the creatures off like flies.

"Kowalski how's our exit looking?!" Basuda cries out.

"Charges are set!" he responds.

"Alright!" Anderson barks to the group, "We are LEAVING!"

The group soon quickly file out of the passageway with Malarkey and Seneviev hanging back to provide suppressive fire for their escape. Slowly, the herd began to thin out and retreat back into the cave.

"I don't like this," Malarkey grunts.

A monstrous roar vertebrates from the cave and loud footsteps could be heard as something walked forward. It stumbles forward into the light, revealing a large, thick skin, hulking beast with a slug like body, two stubby hind legs, and two massive, armored front legs. The creature took one look at them and let out another roar before stomping its feet into the ground.

"Look who decided to show up," Seneviev whistled.

"GO!" Anderson screams, "Move your asses!"

The three high-tail out right as the Nosalis Rhino lowers its head and prepares to charge.

"Kowalski blow it!" Anderson screeches.

"But you aren't clear yet sir!" he protests.

"I gave you a direct order, fucking blow it!" Anderson screams.

Jumped and dove head first across the opening right as Kowalski presses down on the detonator, triggering the explosives lining the archway.

"Did we get it?" Adam asks.

"You know what, I'm not exactly keen on finding out," Malarkey comments, "I say we just get out of here."

"Agreed," Anderson breathes.

His radio starts to go off and he takes a moment to catch his breath before picking it up and answering it.

"Angel-Oscar-Sierra, this is Snow White-1, do you read me?"

"This is Angel-Oscar Sierra, we read you, over," he answers.

"Hey listen," Weiss says, "My partner and I are heading straight for the forest temple."

"Roger, we'll meet you there…." Anderosn then notices the wind noise in the background, "Wait, Weiss, what's that noise?""

"Well…." Weiss laughs, ``.zzzzzzzzassh"

"What was that you're breaking up?" Anderson asks.

"I said it was Ruby's idea!" she replies.

"Hey! You didn't have to agree!" he faintly heard Ruby protest in the background.

"What are you talking about?" he asks.

"Hey Weiss, we're almost over the temple!" he hears Ruby cry.

"Over?" he murmurs.

His eyes traced upwards and fall on a massive Nevermore flying over head, and his jaw dropped..

"Just meet us there," was all Weiss said before cutting the line.

Anderson lowers his radio without taking his eyes off the bird.

"She's been busy," Basuda muses.

"They are quite the fascinating group, are they not Glynda?" Ozpin commented as he observed the group.

"They are also unnecessarily brutal," Glynda scowls as she went over their files. "And the have no qualms against taking life," she immediately thought of the night she had met SPC Malarkey, "And they don't seem to feel any remorse for it either."

"So their efficient at their job-"

"They're soldiers!" Glynda snaps, "We need people who can set themselves apart from others and inspire, not mindless killers."

"Which they aren't," Ozpin corrected, "They are merely patriots who are dreadfully loyal to each other and their home. Patriots who are willing to do what they feel is necessary to ensure the safety and security of their people, even at the sacrifice of their lives."

"What makes you think you can trust them?" asks Glynda. "You know full well about the issues with soldiers trying to assimilate back amongst civilian life."

Ozpin looks over to his Vice-headmistress, "Which is why I want them here." He turns back to the screen, "You and I are no strangers to sacrifice, but it is something that our students are going to have to learn. Time away from the line will do them some good, also its a show of good faith to James.."

"And you think these are the ones who should inspire the others?" Glynda asked skeptically.

"They are an ...unusual option," Ozpin smiles with a gleam in his eye. "But an option we may just need."

"I still don't know why you agreed to house Mr. Taurus here," Glynda narrowed her eyes at the teen. "He's a major security risk," Glynda warns, "Especially if word ever got out about his true identity, him and Miss Belladonna's."

"I believe in redemption," Ozpin, "And those two clearly want another chance to set things right."

"And if those who are after them come here too?" Glynda asks, "I can't put the students at risk, Professor."

"They're going to have to deal with that at some point," Ozpin tells her, "All we can do is try to prepare them for what shall happen."

"Still doesn't sit right with me," she grumbles, "I sure hope you know what you're doing."

Ozpin chose to remain silent and instead focused his gaze on a particular girl in a red cloak.

"I change my mind," Weiss cries, "This is a horrible idea!"

"Well," Ruby replies as she looks down at her feet as the dangle in the air, "It's a bit late now isn't it?"

"Okay, Ruby, what do we do now?" Weiss asks.

"Well, we jump obviously," Ruby laughs.

"Surely you can't be serious!" Weiss cries.

"I am serious," Ruby replies, "And don't call me Surely. Now if we don't jump now, we'll overshoot and I don't wanna find out where ol' big bird is gonna take us."

"Ugh!" Weiss groans.

She could not believe the situation she had found herself in.

"Okay, you ready?"

"Breathe Weiss," she whispers to herself.

"One three…."

"It's just like jump-school," Weiss reasoned to herself.

"Three…."

"Except there's not parachute," she groans. "Wait hold on."

"Two….."

"I said wait!" Weiss cries as she tries to pull free Myrtenaster without letting go of Nevermore.

"One…."

And Ruby let go.

Blake continued to stare at something above them while Yang focused on the forest.

"Blake, did you hear that?" Yang turns to her partner, "What do we do?"

Finally, the faint-but-growing-louder scream of "Heads uuuuuuuup!" is heard when Ruby falls from the sky and crash lands on the ground.

She began to panic as the ground got closer, there was nothing but an open field with nothing to slow her decent.

'Maybe I didn't think this through,' she thought.

Just before she hit the ground, Jaune comes flying through the air and crashes into Ruby, knocking her off course and sending them both into a tree to the left of Blake and Yang. Ruby sat there dazed from the rough landing and watched as cutsey Beowolves and stars danced around her head.

"Just thought I'd drop in," she unconsciously said, not even noticing the fist bump Yang just threw.

"Eh-hem!" Jaune finally coughs, snapping Ruby out of her daze. Ruby looked up and saw Jaune hanging upside-down from a tree. "Hey Ruby…." he waves.

"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake asks Yang suddenly.

Yang looks at blank and says "I…."

"YEEE-HAWWW!" a voice scream from behind the trees.

Everyone watches as an Ursa comes charging out from the forest, claws swiping as pink blasts of energy struck it in the back. The Ursa crashes to the floor, depositing its rider.

"Awwww…." whined a saddened Nora, "It's broken."

She jumps onto its neck to observe the carcass as Ren came up behind her.

"Nora!" he pants while leaning on the monster for support, "Please…...Don't ever do that again."

He stands up and quickly straightens himself out, and notices the pink dotted outline of where his partner should be. He quickly realizes that Nora had run off again and began frantically looking around for her. Nora, now at the temple was staring at a golden rook piece.

"Oooohhh…." her eyes shined, she snatches it and began dances and sings while swinging it around. "I'm queen of the castle! I'm the queen of the castle!" she sang.

"Nora!" Ren cries.

She stopped dancing with the rook on her head, she salutes, drops the relic into her hand and replies "Coming, Ren!"

She skips off to her friend.

"Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?" Blake asks.

"I…." Yang started.

She is interrupted once more as a screech is heard from her right as Pyrrha Nikos comes onto the scene as a Death Stalker uproots entire trees in pursuit of her. Pyrrha narrowly dodges its giant claws as she kept on running.

"Jaune!" she cries.

"Pyrrha!" he cries back.

Ruby then stood up, staring at the monster below.

"Whoa!" she murmurs before running off the branch and landing in a roll on the ground.

"Ruby!" Jaune protested as she left him hanging.

"Ruby!" Yang shouts to her.

"Yang!" she excitedly cries back and runs over to give her sister a hug.

"Nora!" she shouts as she jumps in between the two knocking them over.

"Did she just run all the way here with a Death Stalker on her tail?" Blake asks the air while watching the Death Stalker continues to chase after Pyrrha.

Yang started to get angrier and angrier as she erupts into a small burst of fire and her eyes flashed red.

"I can't take it anymore!" she roars, "Can everyone just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again!"

A full two seconds of absolute silence passed as Yang started to cool down. Ren ran over to a ditzy Nora while Blake and Ruby looked up.

"Oh there she is!" Ruby shouts.

Yang lets out a "Hm?" before looking up as well.

"That girl's gonna be the death of me," Weiss breathes as she watches Ruby's landing from above.

She takes a deep breath and grunts "Just like jump-school."

With that, she lets go and plummets to the ground.

"Now she's falling," Blake comments.

"She'll be fine," Ruby waves it off and points back at herself saying "After all look at me."

Blake deadpans and asks "Ruby, how did you land again?"

Ruby's eyes widened in shock before gasping, "Oh crap." She frantically looks around her and asks "Where's Jaune?!"

Blake awkwardly points at the tree where Ruby had left him. At this point, Jaune had finally gotten himself free. He looks up at the falling Weiss and lets off an opportunistic grin. He jumped off the branch with his arms outstretched, catching her.

"Just ...dropping in?" Jaune smiles charmingly ...or at least trying to be anyway.

Weiss lets out an exasperated sigh before replying "We're still falling idiot."

Jaune looks down and starts screaming. They land in a loud thump with Weiss sitting elegantly on top of Weiss.

"My hero," Weiss stated mockingly.

"My back," he groaned.

"Not quite what I call sticking the landing," a voice calls out.

Weiss looks over and sees Anderson's group had just arrived.

He offers his hand and continues "I could've sworn we never learned that at Jump-school."

"Well I lacked the proper equipment so I had to make do," Weiss replies while accepting the hand and getting pulled up. "Thankfully I landed on something quite soft."

"You're welcome," Jaune groans.

"Salutations!" Penny boisterously greets the others.

"Penny!" Nora shouts excitedly before dashing over and picks her up in a massive bear hug.

Penny, not even affected, happily returns the hug.

"Hi Blake," Adam politely waves.

"Hi Adam," she smiles and waves back.

"Anyway," she looks over at the Death Stalker still chasing Pyrrah as she made it over to the group, "We got company."

Another thunderous roar was heard and the attention was drawn to the treeline as the Rhino burst forth into the clearing.

"You've got to be kidding me," Anderson groans.

"Sir we got incoming!" Streicher bellowed from behind his scope. "*Vichukhas!"

Anderson looks over and sees two giant, anthropomorphic-bat like creates flying overhead. They both let out a loud, tiger like roar as they drew in closer.

"Well this is quite the party," Seneivev jokes.

"I know right?" Yang laughs, "Now we can all die together!"

"Not if I can help it!" Ruby definitely says before charging at the Death Stalker.

"Scatter!" Anderson barks as the Rhino come charging into the group.

Seneviev was closest and was only able to throw up a barrier before being slapped to the side by one of the Rhino's powerful arms. Streicher manges to vault off of the rampaging Rhino before snapping up his Barrett and fires off three rounds into the monster. The rounds tore chunks out of the Rhino's armor making it only grow angrier as the wounds slowly began to close back up.

Rhino's attention was now focused on Streicher as it charged him at full speed. Streicher activates his semblance and time slowed as he ducks under a swipe and dives to the left avoiding another. As Streicher left, Adam jumps in and starts hacking at the Rhino while Seneivev, who has now recovered opens off with his machine gun into the Rhino's exposed back.

Rhino reacts by flat out grabbing the blade, surprising even Adam and punches him in the face, knocking him to the ground. The Rhino then grabs Adam by the foot and slings him directly into Seneviev knocking them both several feet back. Penny and Streicher jump in to engage the Rhino once again.

"Damn, that thing just regenerates everything we do to it!" Adam frustratingly growls.

"Can your blade slice through anything?" Anderson asks Adam.

"Not everything but close to it," he replies.

"Think you can cut down that tree?" he points a massive sequoia in front of them.

"Guys!" Jaune shouts drawing their attention, "Those things are circling back around."

He points at the Nevermore and Vichukhas.

"What are we gonna do?" Jaune asks.

Weiss stares the relics and back at the group.

"Look, there's no sense in dilly-dallying. Our objective is right in front of us," Weiss reminds them.

"She's right. Our mission is to grab an artifact and make it back to the Cliffs," she nods to Weiss, "There's no point in fighting these things."

"That might be a problem," Anderson comments, "Some of us haven't gotten a relic yet."

"Well go grab them and let's get the heck outta here," Yang says urgently.

"No," Anderson shook his head.

Yang looked at him as if he were insane.

"Look, these things are not gonna let us off easy," he tells them, "We're going to have to fight them either way."

"What do we do then?" Blake asks.

"Divide and conquer," Basuda spoke up.

"Excuse me?" Yang asks.

"Pick a monster and separate it from each others," he adds.

"That just might work," Jaune says hopefully, "These things gotta be easier to fight by themselves."

"Right, come on," she shouts to her team, "We'll lead the Nevermore and Death Stalker to the cliff, it'll be easier with the higher ground."

Anderson nods, "And we'll keep the others here and catch up with you later."

Weiss bites her lip and says "Don't die," before running off with the others.

A couple of them fired off shots drawing both the bird and scorpion after the group.

At this point Stretcher manages to land a few good slices with his sabre onto the Rhino's back before it swipes at his legs causing him to fall over.

"Perry, his eyes!" Basuda shouts as an ethereal, white falcon surges forth, striking the Rhino before it could crush Streicher.

The strike makes it stumble back allowing him to roll away just as Penny jumps onto the Rhino and grabbed ahold of its neck. While it struggles to shake her off, Penny pulls out a massive magnum revolver and fires off six rounds rapidly into the Rhino's head. Blood spurts out from the wounds as the Rhino roars in anguish. In one final move, Penny sends hers blades into the Rhino's exposed back further exacerbating its injuries. She gives one final salute before jumping off.

The Rhino glares at the ginger before stomping its feet into the ground. Penny stands there and smiles as a grenade passes over her shoulder and detonates into its face, pushing it back. From behind Penny, Anderson walks forward as he casually loads another grenade into his launcher. He stops, aims and fires again, pushing the Rhino back further. He loads one more and repeats the process, this time, he stops and stares right at the Rhino.

The Rhino, who was a little dazed and slightly singed, quickly recovers and glares down at Anderson. Anderson simply smiles and lets out a sharp whistle. At that moment, a slicing noise could be heard, the Rhino turns around and sees Adam who backs away from something with his blade out. A loud cracking and heaving is heard and the Rhino quickly notices a giant shadow looming over it.

"Timber," Anderson smiles and the tree slams down onto the Rhino.

"Focus your fire, knock them out one at a time!" Basuda shouts.

"Hurry up with the rocket, Kowalski!" Malarkey cries as he fires up at the fliers.

"If you wanna do this job," he asks, "Then go ahead by all means. If not, then that, shut up!"

He quickly punches in the codes for the Carl Gustav's onboard-computer and sets the round for airburst. He lifts it onto his shoulders and locks on to the leading Vichukha. He fires the round and watches it streak towards the target, the lead Virchuka tries to evade but the round detonates into a cloud of superheated metal.

The lead Virchuka screams out in pain as it flies through the cloud. The shrapnel hits its eyes, blinding it and makes it start flying erratically as it frantically tries to clear its eyes with its paws. It was completely oblivious as another rounds flies up into the air and detonates right on its body, nearly tearing off its wings. All it could do was scream as it helplessly fell from the sky.

Kowalski loads in his last round before lifting back onto its shoulders and taking aim at the final Vichuka. The flier quickly learned at the expense of the other Vichukha and dove downward as the round detonated some distance above. It roared triumphantly as the shrapnel harmlessly bounced off of his tough hide. It locked onto Malarkey who was firing everything he had at it. It narrowed its eyes and dove once again.

"Get down!" Kowalski screams and shoves Malakrey to the floor.

The Virchuka instead swipes up Kowalski off the ground and he lets out a panicked scream as he is dangled like bait on the end of a fly-fishing rod.

"Nate!" Penny cries.

As Kowalski is helplessly dangled from the claws of the Vichukha, he makes direct eye contact with the beast. It roars in his face and raises one of its free claws and prepares to swipe at him.

"Oh no you don't!" Kowalski grunts.

He swings his CZ-75 up and empties the entire magazine directly into its face. At this point, he was high enough and the Vichukha just drops him. He lets out another scream as he sees the ground rushing towards him. He is suddenly picked up once again, this time, it wasn't the Vichukha, but instead Basuda's condor who safely carries him back to the ground.

"Nate!" Penny rushes over to him and immediately starts checking him over for injuries.

"Hey, it's going for another dive!" Streicher barks.

"Sergeant!" Kowalski reaches into his belt and throws something at him, "Semtex!"

Streicher catches it, quickly pulls the pin and activates the fuse. He pauses for a moment as the Vichukha dives closer. Right before it can swipe at him, Streicher side-steps it and sticks the Semtex to its left wing. He watches as the Semtex flashes red a few times before exploding in the air and the remains of the monster falls back to Remnant.

Streicher snorts confidently, "Fucking bitches."

"Hey," Anderson calls over to them.

Streicher looks over and notices the giant tree on top of where the Rhino had been.

"All good?"

"Yes sir," Streicher replies.

"Hey Captain," Seneviev falls over. "Catch."

He shows him one of two black knight pieces and throws one over. He catches it and examines it.

"How fitting," Basuda comments as he walks over with a black queen piece.

"Well, I am a cavalryman," Anderosn looks over and asks, "How about you?"

"I am infantryman at heart," Basuda smiles, he shows off his relic and says "Queen of battle." He lowers the relic and turns to the cliff, "It looks like the others are doing fine as well."

They walked over and saw the headless Nevermore stuck to the side of the cliff, and finally Ruby who stood triumphantly at the top of the cliff with her cloak blowing in the wind. As the group walked up to the others, Yang was the first to notice them.

"Hey, you made it!" Yang smiles, "You missed the whole show."

"It's alright," Anderson shrugs, "We're gonna be here for four years, plenty of time to make it up."

"Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark."

The screen of the auditorium shows each of their profiles as the boys are lined up for the applauding audience to see as Ozpin continues.

"The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL, led by... Cardin Winchester!"

The audience gives one more wave of ovation, while another four students walk up to the stage to take their places in front of the headmaster.

"Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JNPR."

Amidst the clapping, Nora laughs and gives Ren a hug.

"Led by... Jaune Arc!"

Jaune blinked owlishly, "Huh? L-Led by...?"

"Congratulations, young man," Ozpin smiles.

A grinning Pyrrha offers a friendly shoulder bump to Jaune, but the "fine leader" is accidentally knocked over and falls onto his butt in front of the laughing audience.

"Blake Belladonna. Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. Yang Xiao Long."

He motions over to the four as they stand before him.

"The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team RWBY. Led by... Ruby Rose!"

Weiss looks to her in surprise, as was Ruby who was in obvious shock as Yang goes over to hug her sister.

"I'm so proud of you!" she cooed.

The next team takes their place and Ozpin continues on.

"Robert Streicher. Nathaniel Kowalski. Penny Polendina. Maxim Basuda. The four of you retrieved the black queen pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team BRPN. Led by...Maxim Basuda!"

A smile breaks Basuda's face as he accepts the position.

He pulls out a flask from his breast pocket and says to his team, "Congratulations are in order."

As the four leave, the final team approaches.

"And finally: Evan Malarkey. Grant Anderson. Alexander Seneviev. Adam Taurus. The four of you retrieved the black knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team GATE. Led by ...Grant Anderson."

On instinct, Anderson snaps into a salute. Weiss smiles at her friend, he was a soldier through and through.

"I expect great things from you, young man," Ozpin smiled.

"Thank you sir," Anderson replies.

"It looks like things are shaping up to be an... interesting year," Ozpin comments to himself.

12 Months Ago:

Off over the skies above the Atlas wilderness. A sound broke through the air as an unknown flying object broker through the clouds. It was trailing smoke as it flew over the tundra. Unbeknownst, it was being observed by a recon group as they tracked its flight direction and made plans while another picked up a radio.

Author's Note: That's the end. No new things to talk about this chapter. The teams are formed and now the story is set. I hope you enjoyed the story so far and I hope you keep on reading. Now, for those wondering, yes Penny did pull out a revolver, it's going to be a recurring motif if you will, the "Pistol Club." A sort a feeling of trust, and as more people join, they will have a handgun that gets featured at one point in the story. It's nothing too big, it's just a small detail I wanted to add. On another note, I plan on making more news on what exactly the Prometheus Aerospace Corporation has been up too and what other projects have gone into production, that is going to come soon. Also, the word "Vichukha" is what the "Demons" were called in the Metro novels, I liked the name more so that's what we're going with. They'll be a couple other creatures I may pull but only a couple. They will be revealed all in due time. On a final note, Weiss may seem more mature now, but at some point, there is only so much a person is going to toeralte and she will blow up on someone at one point, whether it is Ruby or not is up in the air, but it will happen. Either that or I write an entirely new character arc for a chacter that is acting a bit OOC than in the show. Remember, big brother is watching.
