As Zane fell through the air he reached behind him and unsheathed his swords. With his trench coat flapping behind him he slammed the hilts together and his swords transformed into a staff. His staff glowed a light blue as he twirled about the air in front of him creating an ice ramp. He smiled as he landed rolled and immediately found himself face to face with a angry Beowolf. Without hesitating he spins and slams his foot into its neck. As it rears back he swung his staff at the creature's legs, freezing them together. Zane transforms his staff back into swords and quickly kills the creature. He sheathed his swords and dusted his self off. He started to walk in a random direction until he came upon another group of grimm fighting with another hunter in training. He watched trying to see her skills and he found himself impressed. As he watched the grimm started getting some hits in and Zane decided to jump into the fight. He ran in and unsheathed his swords yelling a battle cry. He sweeps the legs out from underneath the first grimm he encounters and beheads it before it hit the ground. He continues fighting for a few minutes and kills about half before they were all dead. He sheathed his swords once again while panting softly.
"Thanks for the- WAIT I know you. Your that ass hole that snapped at me on the airship." Said a familiar female voice.
Zane looked up at her and smiled "Sorry about that I was trying to meditate."
She looked uncertain and finally smiled. "My Name is Rena. Rena Hazen, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you to. I'm Zane Horn." Zane replied.
"Well Zane any idea where to go?" Rena asked as she looked around them.
"Not a clue" He replied. They laughed together and started walking towards the north. As they walked Zane scanned the forest with his semblance. He suddenly pulls Rena into the bushes.
"Shh! Something approaches." He whispered quickly. As they watched three more Beowulfs walked into view. Rena moved as if to attack with her duel Caestus, heavy leather gloves inset with sharp spikes, but Zane grabbed her wrist. "Wait there is always a rear guard." As he said this two more appeared behind the first three and Zane looked at Rena as if to say 'I told you so.' As they tried to plan out a strategy two more huntress' in training appeared and started to fight. Zane recognized the flash of his sister's Kasuri Gama. Zane rushed forward as the girls started to lose.
"Oren!" Zane yelled as he rushed to help his sister. As he ran past the first grimm he dragged a sword blade through its mid section killing it in one swing. He spins as he reaches the third grimm and cuts a arm off before noting that the second one he passed was taken down by Rena's attacks. Zane finishes off his grimm and looks over at the unknown girl now beheading the last grimm with her Naginata, A type of long spear with a curved blade on one side.
"I'm fine brother" Oren said even as Zane noticed her arm bleeding slightly.
"Sis your arm" Zane said as he stepped forward looking worried.
"I got this. Please relax" Rena said as she stepped up to Oren. She placed her hands over Oren's arm and a faint glow appeared between her hands and the flow of blood started to slow. As Rena was working with Oren, Zane walked over to the other girl.
"Are you okay?" Zane asked concerned. She looked over his shoulder at the other two and slowly nods.
"So your Oren's brother? She mentioned that you were out here too." She smiled "My name is Kathren Orn."
Zane chuckled "My name is Zane Horn nice to meet you." He looked over his shoulder to check on his sister and saw that the blood is gone and her wound healed.
"You are good now. Well I guess this is it huh?" Rena was finishing saying as she looked over to Zane.
He shook his head "No I think we need to stay together. You know, safety in numbers." All three thought and agreed. As they walked Zane talked with Kathren about her weapon. After a bit though he looks thoughtful and slows down slightly. "I'm curious about your semblance, what is it?" He asked suddenly.
Kathren smiled "I can change the dust properties of items that use dust for energy."
"Oh? Show me." He pulls out and transforms his swords into his staff which glowed a faint blue. He handed it to her and she passed a hand over it. It started to glow red and she swung it in a circle leaving a trail of fire in the air.
"There now you can burn grimm instead of freezing them" She smiled again as she handed the weapon back to him.
Soon they reached the Forest Temple to see several pedestals with large orbs sitting on top. They inspect them closer and Zane starts laughing.
"What's so funny?" Both Kathren and Rena asked.
"Look at our 'relics' and then look at Zane's eyes." Oren said understanding. Soon all four of them are laughing hard as they realize that the orbs were painted to look like cat's eyes.
"Let's grab them and get out of here." Zane says as he grabs one of the last two orbs. Kathren grabbed the other one and all four started to head back to the cliffs. On their way back they ran into another group of grimm and Oren used her semblance to pick up and throw some heavy boulders at the group crushing three of them. Kathren used her Naginata to throw a fourth grimm into the air. Rena runs and jumps off a tree and punches the airborne grimm hard sending it towards Zane who neatly cut it in half. He looked over his shoulder to see Oren finishing off the last two grimm with her Kasuri Gama. after this last fight they get back to the cliffs and climb to the top where Professor Ozpin congratulates them and they head back to beacon.
