Third Person P.O.V.
The Colosseum's mountain biome is being bombarded by several explosions all around the area. Russel, Shortwings in hand, is running from the mayhem before spinning around, ready to face his opponents, who turns out to be Penny and her beret-wearing teammate. With an ever-present smile and simple arm movements, she summons six floating swords from Floating Array and rears them back before launching them in a ring at Russel, who barely manages to duck behind a rock to protect himself.
Wasting no time, Penny does the same thing with another group of blades, homing in on the other CRDL teammate Sky until he uses Feather's Edge to vault over another stone for defense. The two exchange a worried look at the sight of their rocks still pierced with multiple blades, and Penny grins in combat-ready fierceness as she looks to her partner, who simply taps her watch as if hurrying Penny up.
Wasting no time, Penny raises her hands like a puppetmaster and uses the near-invisible strings attached to each hilt to lift the giant rocks up in the air, with the screaming Russel and Sky still hanging on. Bringing her arms down to her sides, the stones come crashing to the ground as well, leaving Penny's opponents in the grass. Her swords come back to her pack as the buzzer rings and Oobleck speaks over the broadcaster's system.
"And victory goes to Penny and Ciel of Atlas!"
Penny places a fist in her palm and bows in respect to her fallen foes, still smiling.
"Thank you for a wonderful time."
The two victors turn to leave the stadium as Russel feebly reaches out, only to get hit in the head by an errant stone. Watching from the stands, Ruby sees them start to walk away and excitedly gets up form her seat with the rest of her team to meet them at one of the exits.
Ruby catches up and spreads her arms as she calls out, "Penny!"
Penny looks back with a smile. "Ruby!"
She lifts up her own arms and tackles Ruby into a hug that leaves them both of them on the ground. Ruby grunts, then groans weakly.
"Why..." Penny gets up energetically and gestures to the other girl.
"Ruby, this is my teammate." Ciel bows formally. "Ciel Soleil."
Ruby raises her hand in greeting, "Hi! I'm Ru-"
Ciel interrupts her, "Ruby Rose. 18. Hails from Patch. Leader of Team RWBY Status: Questionable." Ruby chuckles, then looks back to Penny.
"Sooo... Penny! You two were incredible out there. How do you keep control of all those swords? It's so cool!" Ciel places her hand on Penny's shoulder.
"Penny? I believe it is best if we move on to our next location." Penny turns to her.
"Could we have just a minute to talk?" In response, Ciel checks the time, then takes a step back and nods, starting the countdown. Ruby scratches her head.
"So is she... your friend or..." Penny looks up.
"Well, in a way. She's like Blake, but if Blake was ordered to spend time with you."
Ruby lowers her voice, "Does she know about... y'know... beep boop bop, does not compute?" She moves her body abruptly as if imitating a robot, leaving her arm to hang. Penny shakes her head.
"Oh no. General Ironwood doesn't really want anyone to know. There was an incident with a magnet, but I was able to play it off." Ciel points to her watch.
"It's been precisely one minute, ma'am." Penny looks back, then smiles at Ruby.
"I'll talk to you more soon, Ruby."
