The wind gently blew against Glynda's forehead as she walked up to Professor Ozpin as he stood at the edge of Beacon Cliff over looking the forest. Her eyes focused on the tablet sized scroll in her hands as she went over the various footage sent from the cameras that were scattered through the forest. While Ozpin said the teachers wouldn't interfere with the initiation they would monitor the students progress through the forest seeing who would get paired with who as well as potential teams. At that moment monitor duty fell upon her and the headmaster's shoulders.

"Our last pair has been formed sir" She said as she came up to the green dressed man's right, who tore his gaze from his own scroll held in his right hand to acknowledge her presence while his cane was held in his left. Glynda tapped a window on her scroll and the main video changed to show Lien Ren dusting himself off after dispensing a King Taijitu, an impressive feet for an initiate she had to admit, he then turned around a orange haired girl in pink and white appeared from the trees overhead smiling at him "Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. Poor boy. I can't possibly imagine those to getting along" She missed a small smile from Ozpin as he resumed looking at his screen while she tapped another window changing the video again as the upside down girl poked her partner on the nose to the young Mistrelian champion pushing aside a bush "Still he's probably better off then Miss Nikos."

Ozpin gave a small "Hmmm" as he glanced up at his scroll for a second.

"I don't care what his transcripts say that Jaune fellow isn't ready for this level of combat" She frowned slightly. While most students showed great talent in various fields of their Huntsman studies Jaune Arc's were just so...average not that that was uncommon but usually there were some class a student excelled in more then others but he was average in all of them passable. Then there as his weapon, Crocea Mors, students usually made their own weapons but this young man used a sword and shield over a century in age and the way he acted and carried himself at the cliff didn't make him look like anyone with formal training to her in all her years. But then again Ozpin went over each student's forums personally so there must be something about the boy still she expected more from the famous bloodline.

"On a more important subject the eight you brought in have all partnered up fortunately with some one else within their group" She opened three windows one showing a spikey haired young man in red armour with his fist held in front of the face of another in blue armour with glasses, One showing a tall young man with bear ears on his head dressed in black and gold taking to a younger boy dressed in purple with a long braided pony tail who skipped behind him, and finally one showing a young man in green armour with a large sword standing next to a taller young man in a black robe with silver metal hands watching a young girl with a grey cylinder on her back arguing with a young man in purple armour with a strange looking sword propped on his shoulder "four of them may also prove to be our first potential team."

She tapped on the window enlarging it as it showed the four as they starting making there way down the hill. She glanced at Ozpin out of the corner of her eye and while she had to admit bringing these eight in made sense given what they were expecting she still wasn't sure why they had to take this approach still much like Miss Rose and Mr Arc, Ozpin probably had his reasons. Still that wouldn't stop her from voicing one concern "I still say it was far too risky to leave their meetings up to chance like that if one of them got partnered with someone else it would have severely complicated matters. Still it all worked out I suppose."

She closed the windows on her scroll then turned round to head back to school to check on the final preparations for the initiation ceremony "At their current pace they should reach the temple within just a few minutes." She stopped and turned back to the head master "Speaking of which what did you use as relics this year?" The man gave no indication that he heard her "Professor Ozpin?"

Ozpin just gave a thoughtful "Hmm?" as his gaze was focused on the video feed showing certain red hooded scythe wielder as she sat legs crossed on the ground while her partner dressed in white paced back and forth behind her.

"It's defiantly this way."

Ruby picked up a leaf and in examined it in her hand a testament to how bored she was. For the past ten minutes Weiss had been going back and fourth saying the temple was in one direction then changed her mind and said it was in another. Ruby was tempted to tell her to just pick a direction but she wasn't exactly in the mood to talk to her new 'partner' in the short time she had know Weiss she had yelled at her and the whole being a child and that she somehow snuck into the school didn't help.

"I mean...THIS way" Ruby rolled her eyes and let the leaf fall to the ground "It's definitely this way."

"Alright. It's official we past it", as she picked the leaf up again Weiss stood in front of her. She threw the leaf to the ground and stood up.

"Why can't you just admit that you have no idea where were going?"

"Because I know EXCACTLY were we're going" Ruby folded her arms "This aught to be good". Weiss took a few steps forward and continued "We're going to...the forest temple."

Ruby unfolded her arms and gave a frustrated groan.

"Oh stop it you don't know where we are either."

"Well at least I'm not pretending I know everything!"

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means your...a big...stupid JERK AND I HATE YOU!"

Weiss turned her back to the silver eyed girl while hanging her head back and gave a frustrated groan "Just keep moving."

As Weiss started walking Ruby followed slowly while doing an impression of the heiress "'Just keep moving! Hurry up!'" She brought her fists up to her eyes and mimicked wiping away tears "'Wah! Watch where your going!'" Ruby stopped walking placed her hands on her hips and ask in her normal voice "Why are you so bossy?"

"I'm not bossy!" Weiss spun round then marched back to Ruby "Don't say things like that."

"Stop treating me like a kid!"

"Stop acting like a kid!"

"Well stop acting like your perfect!"

"I'm. Not. Perfect! At least not yet" She started to turn away "But I'm still leagues better then you."

Ruby stood watching the icy girl walk away then quietly said "You don't even know me" the scythe wielder looked down at the ground and sadly thought "Yang was wrong coming to Beacon was a mistake."

"I thought you said it was in this direction!" Yuuto shouted as he pointed finger in Deneb's face.

Deneb held his hands up in surrender "I-I swear it was around here somewhere."

As the two continued with their usually bickering Kotaro leaned against a nearby tree right foot propped up against it with his hands in his pockets while to his right Hana had her right hand pressed against her forehead while her left arm was folded over her chest supporting it.

"You swear? We've been walking for ten minutes in the direction you said the temple was in and now your telling me it was a guess?!"

"W-W-Well it was very far and this is a very dense forest" Deneb defended. Yuuto placed his hands on his hips and turned his head away shaking it while Deneb drummed his left index and ring fingers against his chin and muttered "Though we might have taken a wrong turn."

"WHAT?!" Yuuto's head snapped back round to his partner ,who quickly realized he said that part out loud, then wrapped his arm around his neck in a chokehold "Your telling me you've been leading us circles?!"

"Yuuto calm down Ack!"

"BAKA!" The green clad boy started using his free hand to hit his partner on the head repeatedly.

"Ow! Yuuto! Ow! Please! Ow! Let! Ow! Me! Ow! Go!"

"Oh for the love of-" Hana pinched the bridge of her nose deciding to put a stop to this nonsense, honestly she dealt with enough of it from the other four idiots, she walked up to them and pried Yuuto off the robed worrywart the stood between them arms outstretched one hand on both their chests restraining them "ENOUGH!" she looked to Yuuto then to Deneb "Squabbling like this isn't helping!"

"He's the one who said he knew where we're going?!" Yuuto argued but Hana just turned to him with her signature 'nightmare glare' shutting him up.

"Getting frustrated ISN'T helping us get there" She placed her hands on her hips "Now. Calm. Down."

Yuuto paused then inhaled through his nose and exhaled through his mouth then turned his head away from the girl.

Deneb gave a sigh of relief then turned to Hana bowed his head thankfully "Thank you Hana."

Hana nodded at him then Kotaro decided to speak up.

"Yuuto isn't wrong though" He pushed himself off the tree and started walking forward looking up in thought "I mean if this was the way we should have seen some sign of the temple by now. Guess we should just keep go-WOAH!"

The ironically named boy tripped over a root then hopped forward several steps stumbling and waved his around in a vain attempt to regain his balance. Sadly he did not succeed and fell face first between two pushes and landed in a small puddle. He muttered into the mud "Well this is just PERFECT."

"Still in a bad luck zone Kotaro?" Hana asked mockingly with a smile as she along with the other two members of their party pushed the bushes aside looking down at their unlucky comrade.

Kotaro just raised his mud covered face "Ha...ha" he wiped the mud off his eyes then looked a head with a glare then his eyes widened "Hey look!"

The three followed his pointing finger and saw a ruined, mossy, stone wall in a round shape with a broken ring over it.

"Huh" Yuuto broke the silence "How'd we miss that?"

Yuuto and Deneb walked towards the structure while Hana helped her partner out of the mud then followed after them, Kotaro wiping the mud of his face and armour as he went, they walked round the wall and saw a circle of podiums each with a single object on top of them.

Deneb turned to his partner "Do you suppose this is the right place?"

Yuuto just gave him a tired look out of the corner of his eyes then saw Kotaro and Hana walk over.

"Pretty sure it is" Kotaro spoke as he walked over to stand behind the green swordsman's right side currently wiping the mud off his upper arms while Hana looked between Yuuto and Deneb at the ruins curiously. Then when Kotaro was done he looked to them with his hands on his hips "If not there's only a dozen more ruins around the eastern borders of Vale" Hana gave her partner an annoyed look "What?"

Yuuto shook his head and stepped into the circle Deneb behind him and the other two members of their group soon following with Kotaro resting his hand on the grip of his sword. He looked around the podiums a noticed the 'relics' they were after were...

"Chess pieces?" Hana asked as she looked at a black rook piece the circle was divide in half the one on the left being gold instead of the standard white and on the ones to the right being black. Yuuto walked over to look at a white queen and Deneb a black pawn.

"Looks like Oz hasn't lost any of his whimsy in his old age" Kotaro commented as he looked at a white knight. The Machteddy was then pulled out of the ring on Kotaro's back enough so that the face was over his shoulder. The purple swordsman turned his head to it and said "Yeah yeah I know Professor Ozpin. Old habits die hard I guess."

"So..." Yuuto turned round to the others "Which one to choose."

They looked over the pieces trying to choose then Deneb dashed over to the white side and picked up a pawn in his metal hand then turned to his companions "How about this?"

"A pawn?" Kotaro asked, now balancing his sword on his shoulder, to which Deneb nodded "Why?"

"Because as first years we may be the lowest in the school. But in time we could raise up the ranks much like-"

Kotaro held up his unoccupied hand cutting him off "Up-up-up! I'm sorry I asked."

Deneb hung his head a little then Yuuto patted him on the shoulder then picked up another "Okay I guess it doesn't really matter."

Hana joined him and picked up another on the opposite end of the line "I guess..."

She turned to Kotaro who looked from her to Yuuto then to the last pawn and shrugged "When in Minstral."

As Kotaro picked up the last white pawn piece and playfully tossed it into the air Yuuto pocketed his in one of his ammo pouches "Alright we got the relics lets head back to cliff."

"Roger" Deneb saluted then followed Yuuto while Kotaro turned to his partner.

"Who put him in charge?"

"Experience?" Hana asked with a raised brow then followed.

"Well anyway that was easier then expected kinda figured he'd booby trap the place" Kotaro looked at the chess piece in his hand as he replaced the Machteddy on his back then placed the relic in his side pouch and followed. He stopped for a moment and looked at where the pawns had been sitting then noticed a few more gaps around the ring meaning a few other students had gotten there before them with any luck a quartet. The unlucky young man then turned away from "Hope the others are doing okay?"

"You think the others are doing okay?" Urataros called over.

"WOAH!" Momotaros jumped out of the way of the Grimm's feet as they stomped down on the spot where he had been standing then turned to the blue Casanova and shouted in reply "Shouldn't you be busy right now?!"

"Oh right sorry!" He resumed firing and hit the beasts eye causing it to bellow and shake its head in pain. With the monster distracted he ran up to Momotaros and lifted him up on to his feet by his arm "You okay?"

"'Okay'?!" He yanked his arm from the blue staff wielder's grip "What the hell kinda question is that?! Your supposed to be watching my back!"

Urataros rubbed the back of his head and chuckled awkwardly. The Grimm then roared catching their attention and they raised their weapons to take on their foe a seemingly futile gesture against the beast before them.

It was strange all things considered of all known forms of Grimm that inhabited the kingdom of Vale's borders that the two were facing of against a Goliath, arguably the largest of all land based Grimm it resembled a large elephant with a series of sharp spines along it's back and several other bony growths, usually this type of Grimm lurked around the very edge of Vale's borders and most lived to the age were they knew not to pick a fight with a random human so they were rarely seen much less away from their herds. But this one seemed to be the exception for several reasons one its tusks and spikes were much shorted then most meaning it was much younger then most so like all young Grimm it was reckless in battle, two it was alone without a heard and three it was within the borders of Vale while they usually just wondered around the outskirts of the kingdom's borders.

Momotaros asked the latter question "How the heck did that thing get so close to the kingdom?!"

Not taking his eyes of the beast Urataros answered "I don't know senpai just like the last three times to asked!"

"Well excuse me Kame if it's odd!"

The Goliath let out a war cry and picked up a log and tossed it at the two but they just jumped over it landing before the beasts feet as it stood up on its hind legs then its forelimbs down to crush the two like bugs. The two jumped away in opposite directions Momotaros going to the right and landed in a roll while Urataros went to the left landed on his free hand then pushed himself off the ground and landed on a nearby boulder and quickly adopted a sniper pose with his staff balanced on his shoulder aimed at the Goliath.

"Oi! Kame keep this bastard busy!" Momotaros shouted over.

"What are you going to do?"

"JUST DO IT!"

Not exactly having a strategy himself Urataros just shrugged and fired his weapon at the side of the Grimm's face that was facing him causing it to turn towards him and charge.

"Oh boy" Urataros jumped to his left as the beast CRASHED into the rock causing it to crack. He then fired several more shots at the Goliath's side causing it to chase him. Sadly like all the times he had shot at the beast the rounds just bounced harmlessly off its hides one of many reasons why only the most experience Huntsmen, Huntresses and other warriors could handle them.

The creature of Grimm glared at him "Senpai if you have a plan for once now would be the time to put it into action" He got no reply "Senpai?" He took his eyes away from the monster and looked to were his partner had been standing only to see...he was gone. In fact after doing a quick look around he saw no trace of the temperamental red swordsman. Urataros blinked "Senpai?"

He then turned back to the Goliath after hearing it release a snort through its trunk and saw it shake its head readying to charge again. The staff wielder let out a sigh "Oh great."

He started running as the beast followed after him with the intent to run right over him fortunately of his usual companions Urataros had the greatest leg strength which he was currently very thankful for as he led the beast in circular chase around the clearing. "Senpai never runs away from a fight if he has a plan he'd better do it the sooner the better." After the second lap of the clearing he stopped running turn round to his foe then jumped up into the air and spun round slashing the point of one of the hexagonal blades across its face. He then landed in a crouch and looked up at his handy work only to see he only left a long scratch across the bony plate that took up the majority of its face. The beast's eyes then narrowed at the blue Casanova in annoyance "Well...that proved to be in vain."

He raised his staff up defensively as the Grimm started slowly walking towards him. Then as it took its second step a cry was heard "BANZAI!" And Momotaros jumped out of a near by tree and landed on the Goliath's neck between the head and the spikes. He stood up and pointed at himself with his thumb "Ore..." He then turned in the direction the beast was facing and struck his signature pose with his arms stretched out "SANJOU!"

The Goliath's eyes went from looking up in the direction of the strange phrase to down at the bespectacled initiate before it its eyes shone almost...questioningly. Urataros just shrugged while Momotaros pointed his sword at the back of the Grimm's head "Oi ya Zou wannabe ya think your tough huh?" He raised the Momotarosword II over his head as his body was surrounded by a faint red glow "Well try this on for size!" He swung his sword down on one of the beast's spines "And this!" He swung his sword round again hitting the top if its bone like face "And this!" He swung again "and this!" again "and this!" again "and this!" again "and this!" again "and this!" again "and this!" again "and this!" and again "and one of THESE!"

He froze breathing heavily after swing his sword multiple times then gave a sigh. After a beat all the spines on the front half of the monster's back split in half and fell and rolled onto the ground. Momotaros looked up and titled his head "Huh?" he then stood up straight and scratched his head with his free hand then turned round and looked down at his partner and shrugged with a raised brow "Thought that would do more-WOAH!" The spikey haired boy's red eyes widen as he almost fell off the Goliath's back as it reared up on its hind legs but he stabbed his blade into the beasts back causing it to cry out. The Grimm then shook its body to try and throw the swordsman off its back but he clung on for dear life "HEY! WOAH! EASY! HEY KAME DON'T JUST STAND THERE! WOW! HELP ME OUT!"

Urataros just watched the display before him, with his staff held up right at his side, stunned then lowered his head slightly and brought his right hand to his forehead and shook his head with a sigh. Honestly he wasn't sure WHY he was surprised.

"Soooooo...got any favourite bands?" Yang asked her new partner. They'd been walking for a while now and she had tried to get to know her but Blake hadn't been much in the way of conversation and every time she'd ask her a question the bow girl would reply with something along the lines of...

"Not really" that. Yang's smile shrunk slightly in frustration as she looked at the back of the quiet girl's head.

She looked away her smile returning "Well its the Achieve Men all the way for me" She turned back to Blake "You look like a Tetra Fang kinda gal to me."

Blake turned to her with a brow raised in confusion "Who?"

"Never heard of them?" Blake shook her head "Well that doesn't really surprise me."

After a few more seconds the blonde brawler spoke up again "So you like reading huh?"

"Yeah" Blake replied after a few seconds.

"What's your favourite?"

Amber eyes shot at her in a panic for a second before the bow wearing girl turned her head away with a blush, a fact that did not go unnoticed and gained a raised eyebrow, "I...don't really have a favourite but I'm partial to The Man with Two Souls, A Swing by a Lake and other books along those lines."

"Reaaaally?" Yang smile grew in amusement and she leaned forward to get a look at the other girl's blushing face.

Blake turned back to face her with a look of annoyance "Yes...really."

"Okay, Okay jeez!" Yang held up her hands in surrender then lowered them to her sides and looked straight a head "You must be fun at parties."

"Not really" She turned back to her partner noticing shift of tone in her voice. Blake looked down and continued "I...don't really go to a lot of parties."

"Oh" was all Yang could say surprised a girl she barely known for twenty four hours would admit to that. She would have pressed on but she guess Blake would probably be uncomfortable talking to her about that until they'd gotten to know each other better. She smiled and decided to change the subject "I remember when I was a kid Ruby would have me read to her every night before bed."

"Yeah she said that last night" Blake lightened up ,books was a subject she loved to talk about.

"Yeah" Yang scratched the back of her head sheepishly "Guess it sounds pretty silly huh?"

"Not at all" Blake replied with a shake of the head and a small smile "I think its actually very sweet and they obviously left an impact on her."

"Thanks."

"So what would you read to her?"

"Mostly fairy tales and stories about awesome heroes."

"Do you remember any of them?"

"Hmm?" Yang placed her hands on her hips and tilted her head in thought "Its been a while but of what I can remember...the Two brothers, Legend of the Stars, The King of the Demon Castle, The Swan, Monkey and Fish that stole the King's bed. I remember her favourites were the Four Maidens, The Four Kings of Power and the Seven Masks" Her smile turned nostalgic she didn't even realize she took the lead by several steps "She'd make me read those over and over until she'd fall asleep."

"The Seven Masks?" Blake titled her head as he went over her knowledge of books she hadn't read that one but she'd seen it in stores and libraries just not with fairy tales. She read the blurb of a copy once and recalled it was about rumours and sightings of seven neutral fighters seen at various points of the great war eighty years ago who protected the civilians of the various factions and fought the armies on occasion but never killed them "That's not exactly a children's story."

"Yeah" Yang scratched the back of her head sheepishly "I think she saw a copy at a library once and wouldn't stop begging until we borrowed it" Yang fell silent as she thought about her little sister hoping she found a good partner "I just hope it's not that Weiss girl she seems like a big pain in the-"

"What about you?"

"Huh?" Yang turned back to her partner snapping out of her thoughts.

"Do you have any favourite books or stories"

"The Four Kings, The Lost Boy and the Jade Giant. Honestly...I haven't really done a lot of reading lately."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"I...could give you some recommendations if you want?"

Yang turned to the quiet girl surprised "Really?"

Blake just shrugged with a small smile "Sure. Why not?"

The blonde brawler smiled "Thanks I might take you up on that."

The pair eventually made out of the trees and stood on top of a hill and below it a circular shaped ruin with dozens of podiums each with something on top of them.

"Think this is it?" Yang asked her partner with the bow wearing girl to only give her a look that said 'What do you think?' before making her way down the hill. Yang soon followed after "Yeah I'm pretty this is it."

Once they reached the foot of the hill they made their way to the podiums Yang going up to an unoccupied one on the half of circle occupied by gold pieces while Blake went over to a black queen "Chess pieces?"

"Some of them are missing" Yang spoke up "Looks like we weren't the first one here."

"Well...I guess we should pick one."

Yang looked around the circle at their options then took several steps towards a podium with a gold knight piece "Hmmm" She picked up the piece then held up high and called "How about a cute little pony?"

Blake rolled her eyes with a smile "Sure."

The two walked to the centre of the circle and Yang cheerily commented "Well that wasn't too hard."

"Well its not like this place is very difficult to find" Blake agreed with a smile which Yang returned

The blonde brawler look at the piece in her hand then held it up and smiled at her partner "Guess we can 'check' this off the list huh?"

"Urgh!" Blake groaned at the awful, AWFUL pun and held her head back then something caught her eye.

Jaune and Pyrrha stood before a large cave with primitive drawings of people armed with spears and bow and arrows chasing a large scorpion. Though what caught the amazon's eyes was a figure, with two horns on the top of its head, above the scorpion that seemed to be preforming a mid air kick aimed at the creature.

Jaune turned to his partner "Think this is it?"

Pyrrha turned away from the drawings to her partner "It doesn't exactly look like a temple."

The young Arc shrugged "Maybe the temple is inside."

"I suppose" Pyrrha looked back to the drawings and focused on the scorpion and the horned figure before the sound of a flame being lit snapped her out of her trance. The Minstralian champion turned back to Jaune and saw he wasn't next to her and was walking towards the dark mouth of the cave with a torch in his hand "Jaune!"

"Hmm?" He stopped and turned back to the red head.

"Are...you sure this is a good idea?"

Jaune shrugged "Not really but hey it's the best lead we've got."

He resumed walking into the cavern while Pyrrha looked back at the cave drawing one last time before she ran to catch up to the blonde sword user. They didn't walk for long before darkness over took them held at bay only by Jaune's torch. The sound of their steps gave away shallow water that covered the cave floor. In light provided by the small flame Pyrrha saw several stalagmites and stalactites these, along with the last fact, gave the tunnel the appearance of a monstrous mouth. The young huntress in training looked back the way they'd came and saw only a small speck of daylight that was the entrance. Since landing in the forest she was more then aware she was basically in enemy territory but now her instincts were basically screaming that fact. She turned to Jaune "I'm not sure this is it."

Jaune in turn sighed and replied "Pyrrha, I made the torch. Could you at least humour me for maybe...five more feet? WOAH...D'OH!"

He tripped over a rock landing face first on the wet ground while the torch flew out of his hand and landed in the water at their feet and the flame went out instantly leaving them in shadows.

As Jaune picked himself up off the ground Pyrrha noticed something "Do you feel that?"

"Soul crushing regret?"

"No it's...warm."

"Yeah...your right" Jaune agreed then noticed something "Hey what's that?"

At the distance end of the tunnel was a faint yellow light. Pyrrha's eyes narrowed at the light then she heard splashing next to hear, Jaune had started walking towards the light. She reached out for his shoulder, a vain attempt seeing how she couldn't see anything "Jaune what are you doing?"

She couldn't see his face but she got the feeling he was looking at her "I'm gonna check out...whatever that thing is. Who knows it might be our objective or maybe a clue."

He resumed walking and Pyrrha sighed and heard him call "If you want you can just wait outside I don't think this tunnel splits any WOAH!"

She heard an another splash as Jaune tripped again. She smiled and shook her head but followed after him. As they got closer towards the light source Pyrrha noticed that it was actually a pretty sickly looking glow and she frowned at it as her instincts SHOUTED at her that an enemy was near. They came to a stop around a small corner before the source which resembled a cross between a hook and an orb and floated above the ground.

"That's the relic!" Jaune proclaimed and slowly reached for it then made a grab for it only for it to move out the way of his hand "Hey!...Bad relic" He tried again but met the same reaction then jumped forward at it and latched onto the point and was held by it above the ground his feet hanging beneath him "Gotcha!"

Later Pyrrha would berate herself for not putting the pieces together sooner "Jaune..."

Before Jaune ten burning eyes appeared with glowing blood red markings as their owner let out a hiss. Jaune did the only logical thing someone in his position would do...he let out a VERY loud scream.

Ryutaros grit his teeth as he held his gun against a Kaliger's neck and used both hands to hold it back but his arms struggled against the beast's brute strength. He then heard a scream his head whipping in its direction then found the strength to push the Kaliger back then kicked away then spun round to his partner "Kuma-chan! Did you hear that!"

"Hai! A girl is in danger!" The strongman replied as he held two Grimm at bay then with a mighty shove pushed them away onto their backs. He then popped his neck "We better finish this and hurry to their aid."

He switched his axe to his left hand and brought the palm of his now free hand onto the eye of his Kintarosaxe II causing the poll of the axe head to pop open. The gold clad fighter then reached into his jacket and pulled out a cartridge of yellow Dust which he then inserted in the poll and closed it. The weapon hummed as the edge of the blade glowed yellow and sparked. "Full Charge."

Eight Kaligers tried to take advantage of his distraction and pounced at Kintaros all at once but his head snapped up and he spun around in a circle his axe arm stretched out then after a single spin stop with his head bowed eyes closed. The beasts cried out in pain as they fell on their backs and sides the heads of some bounced onto the ground in front of them while others hung off their necks. Those that weren't dead groaned and twitched due to the electricity of the attack. He slowly raised his head and opened his gold coloured eyes "Thundering Dynamic Chop!"

He then delivered a palm strike to a Kaliger that tried to tackle him on his left then slashed another on the side of the jaw with his axe.

"Gotcha!" Ryutaros cried out as he pointed at the axe wielder then jumped up and spun round with his legs out stretched kicking two of the beasts that tried to pin him down from both sides on the cheek. He then landed and popped open the canister of his gun and pulled out eight green dust rounds which held between his fingers then quickly inserted them into his gun then closed it. "Full Charge."

The purple gun man giggled as he held up his fire arm with his left hand supporting it. Then the Kaliger on his left roared at him but he spun round to it and point his Ryurevolver II right in its open mouth and fired a blast of wind sending the beast flying back into a nearby tree. He then spun round to the one behind him and fired another round then back flipped out of the way as another one appeared and brought its paw on him but he back flipped out of the way causing it to harmlessly strike the spot he'd been standing. He landed in a one legged crouch and smiled up at the Grimm as he aimed his weapon at it and fired again.

Urataros lowered his weapon and perk his head up to his left as he heard a scream coming from not too far away. "Oh Sounds like a young lady is in peril"

Momotaros landed to his right with an 'OOPH!' the sat up crossed legged and smacked Urataros on the back of the head "In case ya didn't notice Kame" He pointed at the Goliath with his sword "WE'RE in peril!"

"Senpai we need to help!" Urataros said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Fine but we gotta finish up here first" The spikey haired boy reached behind him for something but bespectacled partner stopped him with a quick smack to the back of the head "ACK!"

"Senpai you know you can't use that here!"

"Why not?!"

"Because someone might see us" The blue Casanova replied as he adjusted his glasses.

"You saying you'd rather that thing crush us?!"

"No but-"

"Screw you I'm using it!" He went to stand up but Urataros grabbed his shoulder and forced him back onto the ground.

"Senpai just TRY and think this through for once."

"Ya know what Kame-ko" He pointed a finger in the staff wielder's face "Your starting to become a bigger pain in the ass the usual."

"Senpai just calm down and think" Urataros push Momotaros' hand down only for it spring back up when he released his grip on it.

Just as the red swordsman opened his mouth the Goliath's trunk wrapped around his waist. He looked up from it to his partner his finger still pointing in his face "For the record...I blame you for this."

"Of course you do" Urataros sighed.

"WOAH!" The Grimm then lifted Momotaros up and swung him around back and fourth before it released him and sent him flying over the treetops "WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WOOOOOAAAAAAH!"

"SENPAI!" Urataros stood up and looked in the direction his comrade was thrown. He then heard the beast behind him stomp its feet and turned to face it and saw its eyes narrow at him as it released a snort of air from its trunk. Urataros chuckled slightly as he balanced his staff on his shoulder "Well..." he pushed the button on the shaft of his weapon causing it to fire the dart into the forest after a good seven seconds he felt the dart strike something "Ciao."

He pushed the button again and was pulled along the wire into the forest at surprisingly great speed as the Goliath gave an angered bellow.

Pyrrha was extremely thankful for being a top athlete at the moment as she ran down the tunnel as the beast pursued her. He heard its hissing along with Jaune's panicked screams. So far her partner was wrong about several thing three in particular running through her mind 1) the cave hadn't been their destination 2) the glowing object was NOT the relic and 3) the cave wasn't a straight line in fact somehow she'd turned round a corner down a different path.

Eventually she saw light at the end of the tunnel thankfully daylight this time and ran straight out the cave. A few seconds later the Deathstalker exploded out of the cave expanding the entrance as it did so. It let out a roar as Pyrrha changed Milo into its javelin form and turned to face the beast as it tried to shake Jaune off it's tail.

It was probably an extremely old Grimm judging by both the cave drawing at the entrance, she would mentally told herself off for not realizing they were a warning, and from just looking at the gigantic monster. Its bone like exoskeleton was duller then most Grimm it had grass growing between several gaps and overlaps in its armour which was also decorated by hundreds of scars and scratches.

Jaune meanwhile held on to the beast's stinger for dear life, ironic seeing how Deathstalker venom was one of the most fatal natural poisons on the face of Remnant, and had somehow managed to turn round to face forward back in the tunnel. "WOOOOOAAH WHY?! AAAAAAAH! PYRRHA! AAAAAHHHHHOOH! Pyrrha! This is NOT the relic! It's not! Aaahhhhhh! Do something!"

"Jaune! What ever you do don't let-"

Before she could finish the Grimm drew its tail back then threw it forward sending Jaune flying away over the trees "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

"-go" The amazon finished as she saw him vanish over the treetops. She then slowly turned to face the giant beast when she heard it hiss and braced her self for a fight. The Deathstalker's multiple eyes were locked on her as its jaws and claws snapped and it let out a sinister roar. Doing a quick survey of the foe before her she concluded that even with her training and experience it was FAR to much for her to handle on her own. She smiled at the beast and scratched the back of her head then turned away from it and dashed into the forest as fast as her feet would carry her.

After introducing her partner to her awesome sense of humour Yang pocketed the chess piece in her pouch then turned back to Blake. But before she could ask which direction she thought the cliffs were in she heard a loud scream in the distance she turned in the direction of the sound "Some girl's in trouble!"

Soon a chorus of several more distressed cries followed all from the same voice "Man they seriously need some help!"

Blake gave no reply and she turned round to the bow wearing girl to see her still looking upwards at the sky "Blake did you hear that? What should we do"

Blake heard her but her gaze was focused on the sight of Ruby plummeting from the sky crying out "HEADS UUUUAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Just one more and we're done with the forest. Thank you for reading and feel free to review. Next time the pieces fall into place.
