Ruby rushed towards her but then the Nevermore cawed above them and flapped it's wings sending a line of sharp feathers toward them. One caught Ruby by the cape and the rest stopped Yang from reaching her and the Death Stalker was closing in fast on Ruby.

"Get out of there, Ruby!" Yang screamed at her.

She pulled at her cape and screamed back. "I'm trying!"

The Death Stalker raises it's stinger preparing to stabbed at her. She raise her arms above her head and shuts her eyes.

"RUBY!"

'I don't want to die, someone save me!' Ruby screamed in her head.

A blue blur rushed passed Yang and stopped the stinger right before it pierced her.

"This is...very heavy!"

Ruby opened her eyes to see her savior. "Caboose..."

The super soldier forced the stinger into the ground and rolled out of the way as Weiss appeared and encased the stinger in ice with her Rapier.

"Weiss too..."

"Your such a child!" Weiss said and removed Myrtenaster from the ice. "Dimwitted and hyperactive, and don't even get me started on your fighting style. And I suppose I am a bit...difficult... but if we're going to do this, we're going to have to do this together. So if you quit trying to show off, I'll be...nicer."

"Yes! Teamwork is always better!" Caboose added in his two cents.

Ruby smiled. "Thank you both of you."

"You're my new best friend Ruby, so I'll protect no matter what." The Super Soldier said with a smile behind his helmet. Ruby ran and hugged Caboose around the waist, he hugged her back.

Weiss rolled her eyes. "Come on you love birds before this thing breaks out of the ice."

Ruby blushed and pulled away. The super soldier blushed under his helmet. Yang ran over and hugged her sister tightly.

"So happy you're okay!"

"I...won't be...if you squeeze me...to death!"

The blonde grinned and let go of Ruby. "Sorry."

The Nevermore roared as it was circling back. Yang, Ruby, Weiss and Caboose rejoined the others.

"Guys? That thing is coming back! What are we going to do?" Jaune asked with a very worried tone.

"Look, there is no sense in dilly-dallying. Our objective is right in front of us." Weiss said as they all stared at the relics.

"She is right. Our mission is to grab artifact and make it back to the cliff," Ruby looks over at the snow girl and nodded. "There no point fighting this things."

"Running and Living, that is a plan I can get behind!" Jaune said.

Ruby grabbed a white knight piece just like Yang and Jaune grabs a white rook. Ruby turns around to see Caboose touching a stone pillar of the temple.

"What are you doing Caboose?" Little red asked.

He looked over at her then back at the stone pillar. He stayed silent before he placed his hand on the pillar, all of a sudden it began to glow bright blue and it was glowing brighter. Caboose closed his eyes.

"What is happening!" Weiss screamed.

"I don't think anyone knows what is happening Weiss!" Yang said while covering her eyes.

Caboose reopened his eyes to find everyone frozen in place. Then a glowing orb appeared in front of him.

"What is your wish?" The orb asked with a female voice.
