"Okay, so we can see where we need to go, now how do we get down there?" Weiss apparently refuses to be impressed that Ruby's idea actually worked. She also seems a lot less comfortable with being perched up here than Ruby is.

Do they not have trees for kids to climb in Atlas? Or is it just a Schnee heiress thing? Either way, Ruby adds tree climbing to her list of things that she needs to teach Weiss the joys of.

Anyway, she should get back to Weiss' question. "Hmmm," Ruby muses, glancing down at the temple and trying to guesstimate how far away it is. It doesn't seem to be that far, not really. Technically, it should be doable. "I've got an idea."

"Oh good, another one of your ideas." Weiss shakes her head. "Can we get down from here already?"

"Hey, that's the plan. And my last idea worked out just fine, didn't it?" Ruby points out. "Anyway, I'm thinking I can use my semblance to get us down there."

"Which is?" Weiss asks, tilting her head.

"You saw me use it to get up here earlier. It's something that's a bit easier to show you than tell you about," Ruby explains. "Now, do you trust me?"

"What? No, not really!"

"Eh, close enough." Ruby shrugs and wraps an arm around Weiss' waist before activating her semblance. Weiss shrieks as they zoom towards the temple, but hey, it's the fastest way to get there. And it's a lot more predictable than being dropped by a giant bird.

The others have made their way to the temple by now, and Ruby steers herself to end up in the middle of the group before dropping her semblance. Despite needing to catch her breath upon stopping, she manages to land in a somewhat graceful crouch, only skidding a little bit. And geez, she definitely needs to work on her stamina if she's tired after only using her semblance that much. Apparently future memories don't equal future abilities. She's got some catching up to do.

Even though Ruby had tried to cushion their stop as much as possible, Weiss still manages to end up in a tangled heap on the ground. "Ugh," she mutters as she sits up. Jaune is immediately at her side, offering to help her up. His assistance is swiftly rejected.

"Ruby!" Yang pulls Ruby to her feet and sweeps her into a tight hug.

"Yang!" It's a relief to see her sister and be reunited with their friends (even though some of them are meeting for the first time).

"Nora!" Ruby grins as she hears Nora exclaim her own name behind them, unsure of what's going on but not wanting to miss out on the fun.

"That was pretty cool!" Yang says, finally letting go of Ruby. "I didn't know you could do that, sis."

"I've been practicing," Ruby replies proudly, before stepping over to examine the small objects scattered around the ruins of the temple. Chess pieces. Well, Ruby doesn't know anything about chess, but she looks around until she finds two of the same type and hands one to Yang. She's pretty sure that's how it worked last time. "I guess these are what we're supposed to bring back."

Glancing around, she drinks in the sight of Team RWBY and Team JNPR, together and in one piece once more. Back to the way things should be. "Let's get out of here. Last one back is an old, smelly Beowolf!"
