Chapter 8: Players And Pieces

Weiss, Ruby and Y/n hanging are on to something very feathery and very fast, as evidenced by the loud wind and the three being blown sideways.

Weiss: "Ruby! I told you this was a terrible idea!"

Ruby: "We're fine! Stop worrying!"

Weiss: "I am so far beyond worrying!"

Ruby: "In a good way?"

Weiss: "In a bad way! In a very bad way!"

Ruby: "Well, why don't we just jump?"

Weiss: "What are you? Insane?"

She is met with silence; Ruby has already disappeared.

Weiss: "Oh, you insufferable little red-!"

Down on the ground in the Abandoned Temple, Blake is still staring skyward and pointing for Yang to look up after

Yang: "Blake, did you hear that? What should we do?"

Ruby: "Heads uuuuuuuup!"

Just as she's about to hit the ground panicking, Jaune Arc comes flying through the air and crashes into Ruby, knocking her off course and sending them both into a tree to the left of where Blake and Yang are standing. Ruby is dazed by the rough landing

Ruby: "Oohhhh... What was that? "

Jaune: "Eh-hem!" He tried to get Ruby's attention "Hey, Ruby..."

Blake: "Did your sister just fall from the sky?"she asks looking up at the tree

Yang: "I..."

Before she can continue, 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.

Nora: YEEEE-HAAAAW!" She yells as she rolls off of the creature's back, then gets up and groans, saddened "Awwww... It's broken." she dashes onto its neck and observes the carcass as Ren comes up behind her

Ren: "Nora! Please... Don't ever do that again." He pants and looks for his partner

Nora: "Oooohh..." she stares at the relic and suddenly grabs it "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!"

Ren: "Nora"

Nora: "Coming, Ren!"

Blake: "Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa"

Yang: "I..."

She 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.

Pyrrha: "Jaune!"

Jaune: "Pyrrha!"

Ruby: "Whoa" she says jumping off the branch

Jaune: "Ruby!" He whines

Yang: "Ruby!"

Ruby: "Yang" she exclaims trying to go in for a hug

Nora: "Nora!" She comes between the two and knockes them off-balance in surprise

The scorpion Grimm continues to follow Pyrrha as she runs.

Blake: "Did she just run all the way here with a Death Stalker on her tail?"

Yang: "I can't take it anymore!" She erupts in fire "Can everyone just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again?!"
