Still in the Emerald Forest, into the misty underbrush, Yang was walking and looking around.
Yang: Helloooooooo? Is anyone out there? Helloooo?" *stops and raises her arms* I'm getting bored here! *hears a rustling in the bushes behind her and turns* Is someone there? *the rustling continues as Yang comes over and peaks inside* Ruby, is that you?
She heared a low, inhuman growl and Yang's head rised up as she stared at the creature.
Yang: Nope!
Yang quickly rolled to the side as an Ursa charged out of the green. She got up and activated her Ember Celica, staring at the monster before another Ursa ran out behind her. She leaped over it, and its companion ran at her again, only to get knocked back by a fiery punch. The other Ursa and Yang charged at each other, and Yang managed to get under it and delivered several punches and a kick to send the creature back.
Yang: You guys wouldn't happen to have seen a girl in a red hood, would you? *the Ursai merely growl at her* You could just say "no".
One of the Ursai stood on its legs and swiped at her twice, Yang barely dodged the attacks.
Yang: *laughs* Geeeez, you two couldn't hit the broad side of a ba...
Before she could complete her insult, a single strand of her golden hair fell in front of her face and landed on the forest floor.
Yang: You...
She closed her violet eyes, then opened them to reveal red, making the Ursai look at each other confusedly before Yang screamed.
Yang: You monster!!!
An inferno surrounded Yang for a moment, and she rocketed forward, unleashed a devastating combo of flaming hits and blows on the offending Ursa, making it fly through several burning trees. The other monster ran over, but stopped short at Yang's gaze while a tree fell to the ground behind her.
Yang: What! You want some, too?!
The Ursa reared up and prepared to strike... right when a whirling noise was heard and the monster made a befuddled noise, falling down a second later to reveal Blake with her Gambol Shroud in the beast's back. Yang panted in exhaustion while Blake recalled the weapon back to her hand, sheathed it on her back and smiled to the side. Yang, now purple-eyed again, spoke to her new partner over the smoking remains of the monster.
Yang: I could've taken him.
Back to Weiss, who was surrounded by Beowolfes, deflected the swipe from a Beowolf with her Myrtenaster and got pushed back into the middle of the beastly circle. She held out her sword as she went through her dueling motions and practices.
Weiss: *thinks* Remember your training, Weiss. Head up, shoulders back, right foot forward — not that forward! — slow your breathing, wait for the right time to strike, and... *brings her rapier up, the revolver spinning* Now!
Weiss dashed forward with her loaded weapon at the Beowolf in front of her, just when Ruby suddenly appeared between the two in a blur of rose petals and a swipe of her Crescent Rose scythe, landed a hit on the monster.
Ruby: Gotcha!
Weiss widened her eyes and screamed as she quickly had to stop, swiang the sword in a random direction and created a line of fire that sets a nearby tree ablaze, followed quickly by the rest of the forest around the clearing. Ruby, distracted by Weiss' mess-up, was barely defended when the same Beowolf scratched at her weapon and it knocked the younger girl into the heiress.
Ruby: Hey, watch it!
Weiss: Excuse me! You attacked out of turn! I could have killed you!
Ruby: You'll have to try a lot harder than that...
