Team Rwby sat on top of a cliff's edge. The four girls had been sent on a training mission by professor Goodwhitch. The mission was a simple one, clear out a nest of Grimm that had started attacking a small village outside the kingdom. The team's leader and her partner were on their stomachs watching the forest below through binoculars.

"Do you see anything yet?". The Blonde shouted over from where she sat, leaning on a tree, her hands resting behind her head.

"For the 100th time, Yang, no. If we see anything, I'll let you know." Weiss snapped at the girl, the white-haired girl finally having enough of the blonde's constant questioning. "Why don't you try and have a bit more patience."

"Weiss is right, Yang.", Blake spoke up from where she read her book. The Faunu's eyes never leaving the page. "They're not going to simply appear because you keep asking."

"I know, but we've been here for 2 days now, and we haven't seen a single Grimm. There must be a way we can draw them out." Yang folded her arms to her chest.

"If we draw them out, it won't solve the whole problem, there could be more of them at their den." Blake tried to reason with her friend.

"Plus, drawing them out could go wrong. We don't want to put the village in any more danger than what it's already has been in.", Weiss said in a matter of fact tone, looking over her shoulder towards Yang. Yang opened her mouth, ready to speak, but she was interrupted by their leader.

"Hey Guys, I think we have something." The rest of the team turned their attention to the caped girl, slowly approaching the edge to see what Ruby had spotted. The brunette let a small smile grace her lips.

"Sorry sis, I don't see anything.", Yang squinted, trying to see what had caught her sister's attention.

"Right there," she pointed in the direction of two Ursas. "Can you see them?."

"Yeah, I'm going to have to take your word on this one, still can't see a thing.", Blake rolled her eyes at the exchange of the two sisters, of course. Yang wouldn't be able to spot them unless she was a Faunus or had a pair of binoculars.

"Oh right, sorry, " Ruby handed her the binoculars, so her big sister could see through them. Yang saw the two grim walked through the forest, occasionally stopping to sniff the grass or look around them. The blonde smiled as she felt the excitement bubbling up in her stomach, with the anticipation of the fight.

"Come on, what are we waiting for?". Yang felt someone's hand grab her bicep before she had the chance to launch herself off the cliff's edge.

"Wait, Yang, we need to take a minute and look at our options.", Ruby reminded her, as her big sister let out a frustrated sigh.

"Aren't we just going to follow the two Ursas, to where they are hiding out?." Yang noticed how everyone turned sheepishly away from her, refusing to look at the blonde. "Oh no you don't, I am not going to wait here, while you guys follow two creatures into the Grimms den.", She folded her arms, glaring at every one of them, trying to keep her voice steady, growing frustrated at the whole situation.

"We were just thinking, it would be better for the three of us to follow the Grimm, and find out where they are hiding. We can't draw any attention to ourselves, and well you...", Ruby fidgeted with her fingers, trying to find a nice way to say this to her big sister without hurting her feelings.

"Subtlety just isn't your thing," Blake interjected, it was harsh but it was true. Yang glared at her partner, the brawler couldn't believe her partner didn't have her back even with the threatening glare Blake didn't look away.

"Yeah, we just found these two Grimm, and who knows when we'll get another opportunity like this." The heiress pointed to the forest. "And I would like to get this over with as soon as possible." Weiss rested her hand on her hip.

"Look, princess.", Yang said harshly. "I'm not going to let you guys walk into the Grimms den, and leave me here." The blonde was firm with her words. "We don't even know how many of them there are out there."

"Yang", the brawler turned to face the youngest member of the team. "We're not planning on walking in there without you. However, we are planning on finding the Den, then we will come back for you.", The young girl stepped closer to her sister. "after we've regrouped we'll come up with a plan." Ruby sighed, as her sister's shoulders relax slightly. "Please, just trust us, plus we need someone near the village, just encase of an attack."The brunette gave her sister a soft smile. "We'll be fine", Ruby placed her hand on the girl's arm.

"Fine", Yang let out a frustrated sigh. "But Rwby, you better come back for me, no excuses," Yang warned her. Given Ruby a stern look trying to get across how serious she was being, the brawler knew all too well, of the younger girls eagerness to fight.

"We will.", She smiled as making her way down the cliff's edge. Yang watched them all start to descend. Blake was the last one to go down.

"Thanks for the support, partner.",Yang didn't hide the bitterness in her voice. Blake paused, narrowing her eyes at the other girl.

"What is that supposed to mean?." Blake shot back.

"You know what I mean. You could have taken my side. But instead, you're the one who criticizes me. How long have you guys been planning to leave me behind."

"Look, we only kept it from you because we knew you wouldn't agree with it. We are doing what's best for the mission. Sorry if that means you're sitting out for a bit, but right now this is the only thing we can do.", Blake tried to make her friend see some reasoning. Yang looked away from her partner, knowing Deep down she knew it was true, she would only get in the way for this part of the plan.

Fine, but come straight back. Even if it looks like you guys can take them. Blake, Do me a favor", She paused as looking to the bottom of the cliff. "Keep an eye on those two." Blake nodded her head, sensing Yang's worries about letting her team go into enemy territory without her.

Team RWB

The three-man team stalked the two Ursas for about 15 minutes, before coming to a complete stop. The two Grimm joined a large group at the base of the mounting. They could see at least 20 Grimm, all looked relatively easy to take out. However, they weren't sure how many were hiding inside the cave of the mountain.

"What now?", Weiss eyed the area carefully, her voice kept low.

"We go back and get Yang. She can easily blow up the entrance of the cave, hopefully trapping any Grimm inside. Then we can fight the rest". Ruby tightened her grip on her weapon, her eyes studying each creture.

"But we could probably take them out. They all seem like low threat level Grimm." Weiss tried to reason with her team leader.

"Yeah from what we can see, but we can't be sure what is in that cave. Plus do you want to explain to Yang, How we went in fighting without her?." Blake eyed the white-haired teammate who only rolled her eyes, huffing.

"Look, Yang will understand. She doesn't need to be part of every attack." Weiss continued.

"Face it, Weiss, Yang's our heavy hitter whether you want to admit it or not. It would be stupid to walk into this without her." Blake comented.

"Yeah, I agree with Blake.", Ruby interrupted the two. "Come on it won't take long to go back and get her." Rwby stopped talking when she heard a snapping of a twig behind her. Before she could do anything a Beowolf launched itself from it's hiding place in the bushes, going straight after the heiress.

"Weiss", Ruby shouted as the beast was inches away from the older girl. Her heart sank as it nears the heiress, claws out ready to shred its prey apart.
