Hello everyone! Welcome to another chapter of this random fic that I write in my spare time and since I'm locked in my house, that's a lot of time. Now! A few things that I want say before we begin. Number 1! I will start answering every review that you guys post on this story again! I love reading what you guys want too say and seeing your ideas and thoughts just makes me happy! So ask me your questions, tell me what I could fix! I want to make this story with your feedback.
Number 2! This story will have some different things from the canon. Like Jaune not being in the story and a few bits and pieces. But I'll be adding a few things like backstories for canon characters that we haven't gotten yet and a few tweaks here and there.
Number 3! SHIPS! For right now, every ship has an equal chance and from now to the future I want to see which ones you want too see happen. Give me Ship Names, Absurd ships that will probably never happen. Later in the story, when the relationships get more fleshed out, I will have a contest to see which ones you wanna see most! But for now, throw me ideas, ship names, etc.
But with that all out of the way, I hope you enjoy the chapter! Take Care!
LINEBREAK
"OH HOLY HELL!" I exclaimed as I soared through the air, flailing my arms wildly. Why is this even a thing!? Who's bright idea was it to launch a bunch of teenagers into air!? Oh wait…. Ozpin. Coffee drinking jackass… OK! I've never skydived or done anything of the sort, but it couldn't be that hard, right? I pulled out Hunter's Mark and knocked an arrow. Alright plan time. I see a bunch of trees as I start to plummet to the ground at a very fast speed. There's one big tree ahead from me.
Ok, so I'm going to try to guide my body to the branch and tuck and roll like a boss, and hopefully land on it with excellent athleticism that would make a good medalist blush, and then gently climb down from said branch and get safely to the ground. This…. Is probably not gonna work but it's worth a shot! I mean, what's the worst the could happen.
Following my plan, I began to guide my body to get closer and closer too my target. With determination in my eyes and a not so genius plan in my mind, I went to execute my plan. My foot touched the branch that I was going for and for a second, I thought I had this. That this stupid plan was actually gonna work but…. It didn't. My other foot didn't land and I hit the branch went SNAP. With the same amount of force my body was forced down to the earth.
"OHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT!" I panicked as I flew thousands of feet through the air screaming.
Alright! Let's just calm down here! Calm down! You'll figure something out! You always have, and you always will! Just don't think about how you'll die a horrible, horrible death if you don't think of something!
.
I SAID DON'T THINK ABOUT IT!
As I flew closer and closer to the ground, I began to think of the different ways I could not fall to my death.
Ok! Just stay calm and embrace for-
CRUNCH
"SHIT!" I yelled, hitting another branch.
SNAP
"FUCK SHIT!" I yelled, hitting another br-okay you get the point.
CRUNCH
"FUCKING FUCK SHIT!" I yelled, hitting one last branch. With a wince I began to plummet to the ground which was a good 30ft down. This Is gonna hurt. I closed my eyes, gritted my teeth, and braced for the impact that was coming but… nothing came. I blinked in confusion and looked around to see that I was currently dangling from a familiar looking spear caught in my pants leg, inches away from my leg, and was currently dangling me upside down
Oh…. "Thank you!" I exclaimed to what I think would be Pyrrha. I heard somewhere deeper in the forest Pyrrha apologizing which made me smile a bit. So unless Jaune is somewhere else in the world it looks like I took his spot. This is gonna be a problem.
All of a sudden, I heard a loud roar coming from below me. Looking down I saw the black fur, the piercing red eyes, and the bone mask thing of a Beowolf.
"Oh screw Murphy's Law!"
"N-now now. Let's not eat the Robin. Yeah, that's a good Grimm." I said, trying to calm the Grimm down.
Maybe it's working.
All of a sudden, the Grimm roared towards the sky and began to claw at the tree in attempts to get me. I glared at the beast and aimed Hunter's Mark. I knocked an arrow and while still upside down, aimed for the beast's head. I pulled the arrow back and muttered a simple word.
"Snipe."
The arrow soared down and punctured the beast in the eye, making it roar out in pain. A surge of electricity surged through the beast from the Lightning Dust that was in the arrow. The beast continued to Roar in pain before slowly becoming silent, falling over dead. With a small smirk I watched as the beast dissolved and blinked.
[18 Damage *2 Crit! +15 Lightning Dust Damage]
Now what? Am I just gonna dangle here?
I sighed as I looked around again. The guess I just wait.
…
..
.
Cutting me out of my boredom was a rustle in the bushes. My eyes went wide as I immediately went to knock an arrow, thinking it was another beastie. I pulled back the arrow and glared at whatever was to come. Hopefully it wasn't worse than a Beowolf. "Show yourself Beastie…" I muttered quietly. And what revealed itself was….
…Weiss.
She looked up at me immediately glaring. She was a little thrown off by seeing me with my bow ready to fire. Her hand slowly reached down for Myrt- Matr- Maty- Her Rapier and was ready if I was too shoot. I immediately put up Hunter's Mark and looked down at her.
"I mean no harm! I thought you were a gr-" She already turned away before I could explain myself. "Hey! Come back here! Oh screw you Snowflake!"
I shouted and sighed, looking down. I began to try to raise up and dislodge the spear the had me upside down. I tried yanking and pulling but the thing was stuck. "Stupid spear… Stupid Tree… this is not my day."
"Do you need some assistance?"
I blinked and looked back down to see the Red Haired Champion, Pyrrha. A smile spread across my face as I sighed in relief. "Pyrrha! You don't know how happy I am to see you! Do you mind helping me out a bit?"
She gave a small laugh and began climbing the tree. Before long she made it up to where I was dangling and pulled the spear out with ease. I quickly separated Hunter's Mark into two Short Swords and stabbed them in the tree. Then I climbed down by stabbing them into the tree as I went.
Finally! Soft ground! I'm NEVER doing that again! "Thank you so much Pyrrha!" I said with a bright smile as she climbed down the tree and landed beside me.
"It seems we are partners." She said with a grin as she dusted her combat clothes off. I gave a nod and smiled. "It seems we are. No one I'd rather partner with then you, Red." I said with a happy smile as she gave one of the happiest smiles I think I've ever seen someone have.
"Now. I think we best be off." I said as I began to walk. Pyrrha nodded and began to walk through the forest.

"We've been walking for what seems to be TEN YEARS!" I exclaimed as we continued to walk around this dreaded forest. We haven't even seen the cave with the Deathstalker in it yet! I'm so bored! Pyrrha sighed and smiled, continuing to walk through.
"It's only been thirty minutes."
I went to retort, but a brilliant plan popped into my brain as I looked at Pyrrha. "Hey… How strong are you?" I asked while glancing up at the trees above us. They weren't that high up from where we were. Pyrrha looked a tad bit confused at my question.
"I am fairly strong, why do you ask?" I looked to her with a wide smile.
"Launch me."
…
..
.
"What?"
"I'm going to run at you and you are gonna shoot me up with your semblance by boosting me up with your shield." I said, full confidence in this plan. She blinked at me like I was crazy but slowly nodded.
"Alright then. Just don't hurt yourself."
I nodded and took a few steps back before charging at Pyrrha. She prepared her shield and when I got close enough I put my boot on the shield. She positioned the shield up and launched me into the air, above the canopy. I felt weightless for a moment, like I was flying. But then my worst enemy gravity kicked in. Before I fell I was able to see the tip top off the temple.
A wide smile spread across my face as I prepared to stab Hunter's Mark into the tree to get myself down, but my plan…. Had a mishap.
As I fell and disabled Hunter's Mark, I felt a sharp object pierce through my clothing as I began to be carried away from my partner. I quickly turned to my attention to the thing that was carrying me, the gigantic Nevermore. "Oh….. Oh shit. PYRRHA! FOLLOW THE GIANT BIRD!" I exclaimed as I began to try and climb the leg of said bird.
"HEY ROBIN! WHEN DID YOU GET HERE?"
I turned my head and saw…. Ruby and Weiss.
"WHY ARE YOU HERE!?" The snow Queen yelled at me. I blinked at her and held onto the leg of the bird for dear life.
"IT WASN'T MY CHOICE!" I exclaimed back.
"Do you have anything that might be able to get us out of this?!" Weiss asked.
"Well that depends! Do either of you have gravity dust?!" I asked, both of them shaking their heads in response.
"Then no! No I do not!" I yelled. Before either of them could ask any other questions, Ruby's eyes widened as she looked down.
"What's up?!" I yelled.
"I think I see the temple!" Ruby yelled.
"And how do you propose we get down to it?!" Weiss asked.
"We're gonna have to jump!" Ruby yelled.
"What are you, insane?!" Weiss screamed. Her only response was for Ruby to jump off of the Nevermore.
.
.
.
.
"DAMN IT RUBY!" I yelled.
"What did I do in the past life to deserve this?! How could she just leave us?!" Weiss asked.
"Well, she did say to jump." I said with a shrug.
.
.
"I swear….." Weiss simply said.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"If we survive I'm going to hurt you." She said with a glare.
"Just saying." I said with a giant smirk as Weiss looked like she wanted too kill me.
"So how do we get out of this?" Weiss asked me.
"Hold on, I'm thinking." I said.
.
.
.
.
"Okay, I've got an idea." I said.
"Great! So what is it?" She asked.
"I don't want to tell you." I said.
"Why?"
"Because you won't like it." I said.
"What do you mean by-" Her question was interrupted by me taking the blade of Hunter's Mark and cutting off the talon off the giant bird me and Weiss were currently holding onto.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHH! YOU FOX EARED DUNCE!"
"YAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHOOOOOO!"
We began too fall from about 50 or so feet in the air. I quickly looked around, trying to find any sort of thing to save my fall. But nothing popped into mind. I closed my eyes tightly and braced for impact. But just like last time. It didn't come. Instead I fell into the arms of a certain Red Haired Best Friend O' Mine. Pyrrha sighed and looked to me. "I told you not too hurt yourself."
"My hero." I said jokingly as I gave a small laugh. Pyrrha shook her head as she put me upright. "I owe you two now."
I looked around for Weiss to see Ruby burst into petals, catch the Ice Queen, and rush back down. Weiss was in a daze as she looked around frantically.
Yang and Blake finally showed themselves and looked at me like I was crazy. "Robin? Did you just-"
"YEEHAAAAW!" They heard an orange-haired girl yell as she rolled off of the back of a now dead Ursa.
"Did she just-?" Before Blake could finish her sentence, a black haired teenager with a small pink streak in it came out from behind the Ursa.
"Aww. Ren, I broke another one!" The orange haired girl said in a saddened tone.
"Nora?" The boy who had to be Ren, began. "Please...don't ever do that again." He said, but he soon realized that the girl was already long gone from the spot she originally was in.
"Oooooh!" Blake and Yang spun their heads around to see that the girl, who they assumed was Nora, had mysteriously appeared right behind them without them noticing.
"When did she-?!" Yang began, only for Nora to pick up the rook chess piece and started to sing.
"I'm queen of the castle!~" She sang.
"I'm queen of the castle!~"
"NORA!" Ren yelled over to her.
"Coming Ren!" Nora giggled.
"I like this one." I said to Pyrrha as I pointed to the Orange Haired girl, grabbing a similar Rook piece and put it in my pocket. Again, they don't show much of the body in the show but Nora is FUCKING JACKED! Like she still looked how she did in the show but she had so much muscle on her.
Pyrrha looked like she just saw a crazy person, which she kinda did. Nora is pretty insane.
"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?! I COULD HAVE DIED!" Weiss screamed.
"But you didn't." I said.
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" She screamed.
"It's exactly the point." I said with a cheeky grin. I am REALLY pushing my luck with this. I'm gonna get stabbed.
"UGH! YOU ARE JUST AS, IF NOT EVEN MORE INSUFFERABLE THAN LITTLE RED RIGHT THERE!" Weiss screamed as she pointed her finger at Ruby.
"Hey!"
I rolled my eyes and stretched. "Listen Elsa. We are all alive. Don't stab me please."
"WHO IS ELSA!?"
"Great, the gang's all here. Now we can all die together." Yang said sarcastically.
"Now, now, before we go and throw the towel, how about we chill out and think of a plan to take this thing down?" I asked.
"You got it!" Ruby said as she pulled out Crescent Rose and changed it to it's scythe form.
"Good! See, Ruby's on board. So, here's what I've got so far. First, we-" I was cut off by Ruby rushing ahead and transforming the scythe into a sniper, shooting at the Nevermore, ignoring me completely.
.
.
"Can just rush in with no plan of what to do next! GREAT!" I yelled.
"Ruby, come back here!" Yang pleaded as she started to run towards her younger sister. Though Ruby simply ignored my protests and Yang's plea for her to stop.
However, as she went in to shoot at the creatures head, the creature merely flew around at her when she came into range and rained down sharp feathers down at us, trapping Ruby's cloak. "D-don't worry! Totally fine!" Ruby reassured everyone hastily as she got up, though her tone was making everyone think otherwise.
"Ruby!" Yang shouted, running over to aid her sister. GOD DAMN IT! WHY IS EVERYONE RUSHING FORWARD!?
The Nevermore began to swoop down and attack Ruby but a blur of white flashed past us as Weiss saved Ruby's skin. Thank god…

"CHILDREN! EVACUATE THE FOREST IMMEDIATELY! A GRIMM THAT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FOREST HAS BEEN SPOTTED NEAR YOUR LOCATION!" The voice of Goodwitch rung through the forest.
"Fuck…"
