The Grimm Huntress

Players and Pieces

Just as Ruby was about to hit the ground panicking, Jaune came flying through the air and crashed into her, knocking her off course and sending them both into a tree to the left of where Blake and Yang were standing. Eclipse, having just joined them, seemingly waited for something unknown to the others.

"Did your sister just fall from the sky?"

"I-"

Eclipse stopped narrowing her eyes as several crashing noises were heard in the forest ahead of them and an Ursa came out, claws swiping, just as a pink blast of energy hit it in the back and it crashed to the ground, depositing its rider. Yang, who had been watching her, stared in shock as she realized that this was what Eclipse had been waiting for.

"YEEEE-HAAAAW!" Valentine rolled off of the creature's back, then got up and groaned, saddened. "Awwww... It's broken." She then dashed onto its neck and observed the carcass as Lotus came up behind her.

He was panting and leaning on the monster as he said, "Nora! Please... Don't ever do that again."

He looked up again and noticed his partner was gone and Nora had run off again, then looked around frantically.

Nora was now in the Temple, and staring at a golden rook relic. "Oooohh..." She suddenly grabbed it, she then started dancing and singing with the chess piece. "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!"

"Nora!"

She stopped dancing with the rook on her head, then saluted, dropping the relic into her hand. "Coming, Ren!" She then skipped off to her friend.

"Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?"

"I-"

'Ooh, that looks fun!'

Yang was interrupted once more as a screech was heard from their right, and Pyrra ran onto the scene with Death Stalker on her tail.

"Did she just run all the way here with a Death Stalker chasing her?"

Yang, eyes flashing red, yelled, "I can't take it anymore! Can everyone just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again?!"

The ticking of a clock counted down the two seconds in Eclipse's mind as Yang cooled down, Ren running over to a ditzy Nora, and Blake, Eclipse and, Ruby looking up.

"Umm... Yang?" Ruby tugged on her sister's sleeve and pointed. Yang groaned and looked up.

Up above, Weiss was seen hanging on a talon the size of her entire body that belonged to a gigantic Nevermore.

"Wow, everyone got to have a fun Grimm encounter but me!" Eclipse sighed sadly, Blake giving her an incredulous look.

"How could you leave me?!" Weiss called down to Ruby.

Ruby responded by shouting back up at Weiss, "I said 'jump'!"

"She's gonna fall," Blake commented.

"She'll be fine," Ruby brushed it off.

"She's falling," Ren said to the group.

Jaune was finally out of the tree, panting until he looked up and grinned at the sight of Weiss falling through the air, giving him the opportunity to jump off the branch with arms outstretched and catch her in a slowed-down moment.

Jaune smiled at Weiss. "Just... dropping in?"

Weiss was speechless... and Jaune realized why when they both looked down.

"Oh, God." They hung on to each other wide-eyed as their moment of suspension ends, their weapons flying behind them. "Oh, noooooooo- Oomph!"

Jaune faceplanted into the dirt, limbs splayed out, and served as the perfect landing spot for Weiss as she fell into a seated position on top of his body.
