As Weiss was fighting off the Beowolves and Jaune and Pyrrah were making their way through the forest. Yang on the other hand looking for Ruby and or the person that would be her partner for the next four years.
"Hey Ruby... anyone! Come on guys!"yelled Yang before she noticed she had company as she heard rustling in the bushes nearby.
Yang at first assuming it was Ruby until she saw it wasn't instead it was a couple of Ursa.
The Ursa tried to attack Yang but you get avoiding each one of their attacks.
"Hah you have to do a lot better than...!"said Yang before she noticed that a strand of her precious yellow hair was torn off by the Grimm.
This caused something inside of the Yang to snap as her purple liliac eyes turned red to indicate her rage.
"You monsters!"Yelled Yang as she began pummeling the Ursa responsible for removing a piece of her hair!
Yang punched it and blasted it again and again with her weapons Ember Celica over and over again until the Ursa died from its injuries.
The second Ursa began running over to Yang and got on its hind legs ready to attack.
"Come on bring it!"said Yang until a stabbing sound was heard and the Ursa fell on belly revealing itself to have been killed by being stabbed in the back by none other than Blake.
Blake just smiled as she brought back her weapon Gambol Shroud back to her hands.
"I so totally could have taken him."said Yang at the two acknowledge each other as partners for the next four years.

Meanwhile Weiss was seemingly all alone against the pack of Beowolves that looked like they were ready to kill her.
'Okay don't panic Weiss and just remember your training.' thought Weiss as she took a formal fencing strike with her weapon Myrtenaster and began making her way over to one of the Grimm when Ruby appeared out of nowhere and slayed it!
Weiss stopped midway before she hit Ruby causing the flame dust she was going to use on the Grimm to spill over to a nearby tree setting it on fire!
Ruby wondered what happened before she barely blocked the claw strike from one of the Beowolves and ended up falling back towards Weiss.
"Hey watch it!"exclaimed Ruby in frustration.
"Excuse me you attacked out of turn I could have killed you!"countered Weiss with an equal amount of frustration.
"You will have to try a lot harder than that!"whispered Ruby under her breath.
Ruby and Weiss then decided to put off their fight for a later day as currently they were surrounded by Grimm and were about to begin fighting when the tree Weiss had accidentally set on fire fell down causing the grass nearby to start burning.
"We have to go!"exclaimed Weiss as she pulled Ruby away just as the Grimm were running away from the fire.
A short distance later away from the fire the two took a moment to catch up their breath and begin arguing again...
"What was that that should have been easy!"said Ruby as Beowolves were considered one of the weakest Grimm around.
"Well perhaps if you exercise the slightest amount of caution I wouldn't have accidentally set the forest on fire."said Weiss as she pressed her fingers as closely as she could to indicate her point.
Ruby scoff before arguing."What's that's supposed to mean?!"
"I'm just surprised that someone who talks so much would communicate so little during an encounter."answered Weiss.
"Well I'm sorry you need my help in a fight. I'm just fine on my own!"said Ruby as she crossed her arms.
"Well congratulations on being the strongest child to sneak your way into Beacon."said Weiss before she began walking away.
"Bravo."she added causing Ruby to cut down a tree in frustration

Meanwhile Jaune and Pyrrah were making their way to the Northern end of the forest with Pyrrah taking the lead as Jaune heard something.
"Gunfire."
"Yes it seems some of our comrades encountered the enemy."said Pyrrah as the duo continued moving.
Pyrrah move the branch that was in their way as Jaune was looking in another direction. As the branch swung back he barely got out of the way but got to scratch on his cheek for his efforts.
"Jaune... I'm sorry."
"It's okay it's just a scratch it will heal."said Jaune revealing he just got a scratch on his right cheek.
"Why didn't you activate your Aura?"asked Pyrrah and she walked over to Jaune to see if he was okay.
"Huh."said Jaune having no idea what Pyrrah was even talking about.
"Your Aura."
"Bless you."said Jaune as he assumed Pyrrah sneezed.
"Jaune...do you know what Aura is."asked Pyrrah.
'I have always used Haki so I don't really know anything about Aura although I have heard of it but there's no way I'm telling her the first part.' thought Jaune before answering.
"I have heard of it but I never really understood it."he said honestly.
"Aura is the manifestation of our soul. It bears are burdens and shares our hearts. Have you ever felt like you were being watched and feeling like someone was there?"asked Pyrrah.
"All the time."said Jaune as he grew up in a house of seven sisters so that statement was pretty much true.
"With practice our Aura can be our shield. Everyone has it even animals."
"What about the monsters."
"No the monsters we fight lack a soul, they are the creatures of Grimm the manifestation of amenity. They are the darkness we are the light."said Pyrrah.
'That light and dark thing is so cliche. Everyone has a little bit of darkness inside of them if the only way they can Master the light.' thought Jaune who couldn't remember how many times he heard those cliche lines about light and darkness.
"So that's why we fight them."
"It's not about why it's about knowing. Understanding both light and dark helps us manifest our Aura. Everyone has some of both. By burying your soul outside as a force you can deflect harm. All of our tools and equipments our conduits for Aura. Project yourself and your soul when fighting."said Pyrrah as she was making sure no Grimm were watching them.
"It's basically just a temporary shield as there's only so much of it as I know for a fact a lot of people assume with Aura they basically think they're bulletproof."said Jaune who wondered where this misconception came from.
"Yes you are absolutely right."said Pyrrah before she walked over to Jaune.
"Now close your eyes and concentrate."said Pyrrah as she began touching him on the cheek that he was cut on.
"Uh...okay "said Jaune has he closed his eyes.
Pyrrah close your eyes before quickly opening them up revealing that she was surrounded by energy AKA Aura.
"For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite distances unfound by Death. I release your soul and by my shoulder protect thee."said Pyrrah and she suddenly let go of Jaune.
"Are you okay?"he asked.
"Don't worry I used my aura to unlock but the energy that protects you now is your own."said Pyrrah as the cut on Jaune's cheek disappeared.
"You have a lot of it."said Pyrrah who was honestly impressed.
'I don't know why but I felt another energy radiating from him when I was unlocking his Aura. What is that strange energy."thought Pyrrah having no idea she just sensed Jaune's Haki.
'Why do I get the feeling there was a literal battle representing the laws of Aura somewhere in this Forest?' thought Jaune having no idea that the boy in the green qi pao from this morning defeated two snake like grimm called king taijitu at the same time.
And that those Grimm represent light and darkness like Aura.
Suddenly some kind of strange sound was being called and he looked up to see his orange haired friend hanging from the tree.
"I'm still not sure that's what a sloth sounds like."he said to her as she booped him on the nose.

Meanwhile up on the cliff where the first years were launched Headmaster Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch were monitoring everything with cameras they set up in the forest.
"Our last pair has been formed sir. Nora And Lie Ren."said Glynda as she walked over to Ozpin to show him the footage.
"Poor boy I can't possibly imagine those two getting along. Still he's probably better off than Miss Niko's."said Glynda getting Ozpin's attention.
"I don't care what his transcript say I have a feeling that Jaune fellow is hiding something and it might affect Miss Niko's in the long run."said Glynda whose instincts were telling her that he was less than qualified to be here.
Ozpin on the other hand had different thoughts.
'I always knew that his transcripts were fake but I have a feeling that he is hiding great power and he will be a great asset in Beacon's future.' thought Ozpin as she took a sip of his coffee.
"I guess we'll find out soon enough."said Glynda as she turned off her tablet.
"At the current pace they should make it to the temple in just a few minutes. Speaking of which what did you use as relics this year? Professor Ozpin?"asked Glynda but Ozpin was not listening as he was currently focused on watching Ruby and Weiss.
Who appear to be lost..
-=O=-
"It's this way... I mean it's definitely this way."said Weiss and she kept going back and forth not sure what direction to go to.
Ruby on the other hand on the bored expression and was so bored she was actually fiddling with a leaf to pass the time.
"Alright it's official we passed it."said Weiss.
"Why can't you just admit you have no idea where we're going?"asked Ruby.
"Because I know exactly where we are going."answered Weiss in a reassuring way.
"We're going to... the Forest Temple."said Weiss causing Ruby to groan.
"Oh stop it you don't know where we are either!"
"Well at least I'm not pretending like I know everything!"yelled Ruby who was already annoyed with her partners antics to this point.
"What is that supposed to mean?!"asked Weiss.
"It means you're a big stupid jerk and I hate you and I would have rather had Jaune as a partner!"said Ruby as she pointed her finger at Weiss to indicate her point.
"Then go look for him he should still be in that tree!"said Weiss offended that she was being placed below that jerk.
"Ugh... just keep moving!"ordered Weiss.
"Oh just keep moving waah hurry up waah watch where you're going! Why are you so bossy!"
"I'M NOT BOSSY! Don't say things like that!"ordered Weiss contradicting her earlier statement.
"Stop treating me like a kid!"yelled Ruby.
"Stop acting like a kid!"yelled Weiss.
"Well stop acting like you're perfect!"
"I'm. Not. Perfect. Not yet but I'm still leagues ahead of you and that jerk who has been nothing but a pain in my butt since I got here."said Weiss coldly as she walked away
"You don't even know me or Jaune."said Ruby.

Meanwhile on on the Northern end of the forest Yang and Blake arrived at some old looking ruins.
"Think this is it?"asked Yang as Blake gave her a look that said "really?"before making her way to the ruins with Yang close behind.
As they arrived at the ruins they were surprised to see what the "relics" were.
"Chess pieces."said Blake as she walked over to a bishop.
"Some of them are missing, looks like we went the first ones here. "
"Well I guess we should pick one..."said Blake even though she wasn't sure if they should be considered relics.
-=O
"I don't know why but my instincts are practically screaming at me to go in there."said Jaune as he and Pyrrah stood in front of what look like a cave.
Soon they began making their way inside after Jaune pulled out a flashlight that he had on him.
"I don't think these are the ruins."
"Pyrrah I think so too but I'm telling you my instincts are screaming at me to keep going in here."said Jaune as he suddenly lost a grip on his flashlight causing complete darkness as it felt to the floor.
"Do you feel that?"asked Pyrrah.
"Yeah... I feel something..warm "replied Jaune.
Meanwhile back of the actual ruins Yang walked over to a golden Knight chess piece.
"How about a cute little pony?"said Yang as she picked it up.
"Sure why not."
"That wasn't too hard."said Yang as she and Blake walked over towards each other.
"Well it's not like this place is very hard to find."said Blake with a small cocky grin on her face.
Back at the cave Pyrrah and Jaune we're walking deeper and deeper into the cave until they saw something... golden?
Jaune didn't know why but his instincts were screaming at him to grab it and hanging from it so that's what he did.
"Jaune..."said Pyrrah when she realized what that thing was.
"...I'm hanging off the stinger of a deathstalker am I?"asked Jaune you got his answer when he noticed red eyes watching him.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHA!"exclaimed Jaune at the top of his lungs as he was dangling off the stinger of the deathstalker as it was chasing Pyrrah out of the cave.
"Why are you laughing?!"he asked as she, her partner, and the deathstalker made it back to the entrance.
"I don't really get scared that easily by stuff like this."said Jaune as he was hanging on to the stinger.
Blake meanwhile was seeing something falling from the ruins.
"Jaune whatever you do don't let go!"said Pyrrah before the deathstalker flung him in the air.
"COWABUNGA! I'M SORRY I ALWAYS WANTED TO SAY THAT IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS!"said Jaune before disappearing into the distance
Pyrrah on the other hand looked at the deathstalker for a moment before deciding to run off as that was her best option at the moment so she decided to run in the direction her partner went.
Meanwhile Yang was asking Blake what was wrong as Blake noticed that Ruby for some reason was falling from the sky!
