"Stop," said Ruby tightening her grip on her borrowed scythe, "what's that sound?"
"Crickets."
Rustling of leaves caused them to stop again.
"Wished, I had Crescent Rose to snipe from a distance."
"Your skills are pathetic then. I had to remove the dust canister from Myrtenaster. "
Staring at her, Ruby seemed to recall Yang had to use power gloves her first year.
"Simple, sis. My first year had to wear power gloves instead of Ember Celica."
"Why?"
"Simple, Ruby," said Tai, "First year is based on skill, not projectile of one's weapon."
"I waited my second year," said Yang.
"Third year for me," said Tai.
"If your skills were above average then…" watching Ruby jump into the tree tops, "Ahem. Rude."
Noticing red eyes surrounding her, "Remember your training Weiss," closing her eyes, "Head up, shoulders back," bringing Myrtenaster align with her nose, "right foot forward. Not that forward! Slow your breathing. Slow your breathing, wait for the right time to strike, and…Now!" rushing forward.
Her strike got interrupted by Ruby appearing in front of her slicing the Grimm. Nearly losing her balance, tip of Myrtenaster touched the ground sending a trail of flames towards a tree. The burning tree fell causing flames to separate Weiss and Ruby from the Grimm. Running to high ground, they caught their breath.
"Impatient. Undisciplined. Who trained an idiot like you?"
"My uncle and my dad."
"Then they're poor trainers or you're a poor excuse for a student."
"You started the fire."
"Best in Atlas trained me and you got in my way," walking away, "Maybe, I should've got the perverted dork in tree instead."
Quick swap of her borrowed scythe sliced a tree down.
"Cat's in the cradle," mumbled Ruby.
Speaking of which.
"Need help?" brought Jaune's attention onto Pyhrra staring up at him.
"Maybe," trying to avoid her smirk and the lovely view of her cleavage.
Stop thinking that way, Jaune.
"Well, I'm here to retrieve Miho anyways."
"I thought that was you saying sorry."
Unwrapping her red sash from around her waist, she threw it towards Jaune.
"Tie it around Miho's shaft."
Tying it around Miho, Jaune watched Pyrrha throw Akouo into a tree trunk. Running, she jumped onto the edge of Akouo. Catapulting pass Jaune, she grabbed the shaft allowing her to rest her feet against the tree above Jaune's head.
Wondering how she did that while avoiding a wardrobe malfunction, he didn't notice her pulling Miho free from the tree allowing gravity to pull him downwards. Throwing Miho, Pyrrha pulled her sash causing Miho to arch under Jaune. It struck into the tree.
Sailing past Jaune, she landed then pulled her sash. Jaune landed then slid at Pyrrha's feet.
"Hello," she said smiling.
"Hi," standing up, "Thank you," dusting himself off, "Looks like we're teammates."
"Looks like it," pulling Miho free, "What kind of weapons do you have?" retrieving Akouo.
Unsheathing his sword, "Crocea Mors," revealing his sheath which turned into a shield, "My…" juggling his shield, "My shield," dropping it, "which is collapsible," picking it up, "It's a hand me down. My great, great grandfather used it in the war.
"An heirloom," studying her scroll, "It seems the relics are this way."
"Hieroglyphics like the lost catacombs of Vaccuo only the Gods know where we stuck it. Let me be Pacific I wanna be down in your South Seas, but I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means "Small Craft Advisory" so if I capsize on your thighs high tide, B-5 you sunk my battleship."
"Say again."
"You've had enough of two-hand touch you want it rough you're out of bounds so put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts
"Why do you talk that?"
"Isn't that how women like to be talk to?"
"Where do you get that idea from?"
Showing her How to Seduce Women? by Luna Shadowcross, she flipped through the pages.
Slapping Jaune's chest with the book, "Word of advice," said Pyrrha, "burn that book."
"Why?"
"It will get you killed by women, husbands, boyfriends, fathers, brothers."
"Really?"
"Only women that like being talked to that way are those who will slit your throat while you're asleep and steal your lien."
"Oh. I'd appreciate your input on how to talk to women the right way?"
"Let's find those relics."
