(3rd POV)

Weiss Schnee and Ruby Rose were currently on to something very feathery and very fast, as evidenced by the loud wind and the two being blown sideways. "Ruby! I told you this was a terrible idea!" Ruby shouted to be heard since the loud wind would have overlapped her normal voice.

"We're fine! Stop worrying!" Ruby said with her voice raised. "I am so far beyond worrying!" Weiss shouted. "In a good way?" Ruby asked. "In a bad way! In a very bad way!" Weiss said. "Well, why don't we just jump?" Ruby asked. "What are you? Insane?!" Weiss asked. She is met with silence; she looks to see Ruby has already disappeared. "Oh, you insufferable little red-!" Weiss said.

Down on the ground in the Abandoned Temple, Luke and his friend Blake Belladonna are still staring skyward and pointing up for Yang Xiao Long and Bruce Kingsman to look up. "Blake, did you hear that? What should we do?" Yang asked.

Ruby continues falling from up above falling right towards them, finally getting Yang's attention. "Heads uuuuuuuup!" Ruby yelled. Just as she's about to hit the ground panicking, Amelia Branwen comes in and grabs her cousin stopping her from descending to the ground.

Once she noticed she was no longer falling to the ground she looked to see it was her cousin who saved her. "Thanks cous." Ruby said, smiling at her. "You welcome Ruby." Amelia said.

Jaune Arc comes flying through the air and crashes into a tree making the two girls flinch. "Sorry I didn't catch you Jaune!" Amelia yelled in an apologetic manner. "It's okay..." Jaune groaned weakly.

"She really is something, huh?" Someone asked. Yang, Blake, Bruce and Luke look to see Felix Kaiden standing next to them. "How long have you been standing there?" Bruce asked. Felix shrugged his shoulders in response not knowing how long. "Did your sister just fall from the sky and got saved by your cousin?" Blake asked Yang. "I..." Yang said.

Before she can finish her answer, several crashing noises are heard in the forest ahead of them, and an Ursa comes out, claws swiping, just as a pink blast of energy hits it in the back and it crashes to the ground, depositing its rider. "YEEEE-HAAAAW!" Nora Valkyrie screamed.

She then rolls off of the creature's back, then gets up and groans, saddened by it being dead. "Awwww... It's broken." Nora said depressed. Nora dashes onto its neck and observes the carcass as Ren comes up behind her panting from exhaustion. "Nora! Please... Don't ever do that again." Ren said leaning on the monster. He looks up again and notices by the pink dotted outline of where his partner should be that Nora has run off again, and looks around frantically to find her.

Amelia lands herself and Ruby on the ground with their attention focused on Nora who is at the temple. "Oooohh..." Nora said, staring at a golden rook relic. The energetic hammer girl suddenly grabs it, an animation of stars and her hammer symbol playing in the pink background as she dances and sings with the chess piece in hand. "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" Nora sang.

As she was signing Ren notices and then screams at his partner. "Nora!" Ren screams. Nora stops dancing with the rook on her head, then salutes, dropping the relic into her hand. "Coming, Ren!" Nora said. She skips off to her friend passing the pairs of three and Ruby. "I'm starting to feel sorry for her partner." Luke said with a sympathetic look on his face. "Me too." Amelia said nodding her head. "Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?" Blake asked. "I..." Yang said, trying to understand what just happened.

Yang is interrupted once more as a screech is heard from their right, and Pyrrha Nikos comes onto the scene as the scorpion creature uproots entire trees in its chase after her. Pyrrha narrowly dodges its giant claws and keeps on running. "Jaune!" Pyrrha said. Jaune then stood up and jumped off the tree landing face first. "Ouch." Ruby said.
