Third Person POV
Jaune is getting pushed to the ground, groaning as he looks up and sees a sap-covered Cardin looming over him. The bigger warrior picks Jaune up by his front and grins while punching him back to the ground.
"You know that wasn't very smart, Jauney boy." Cardin picks up a bruised Jaune again while the rest of CRDL watches them, "I'm gonna make sure they send you back to mommy in teeny tiny pieces."
"I don't care what you do to me..." Jaune retorts with his head hanging back but glances back at Cardin with fury in his eyes."...but you are not messing with my team."
"What? Do you think talking like that makes you tough? You think you're a big strong man now?" The bully looks momentarily shocked.
Jaune smiles in defiance. An enraged Cardin roars and raises his fist again, but just as the hit connects, a bright light shines from Jaune, and when the white fades, Cardin is crying out in pain as he holds his hand. Jaune, now back on the ground but completely healed, looks confusedly at his hands as they faintly glow white. While he stares, though, Sky Lark kicks Jaune in the back and gets him on his stomach, but he looks up and glares at the approaching Cardin.
"Let's see how much of a man you are..." Cardin retorts with a menacing look.
Just as he says this, a low growl is heard, and a surprised Team CRDL turns around and sees a large paw crash onto the scene, belonging to a huge Ursa Major with dozens of jagged spikes sticking out from its wide back. It leaps forward and stands over the terrified students, lifting its head in the air to smell the sap on Cardin's breastplate. It lands back on its forelegs and roars at Cardin while his teammates heroically flee.
"That's a big Ursa!" Russel says as he chickens out with the rest of CRDL, except for Cardin who was standing there too shocked to move, but he was soon slashed by the Ursa's claw, revealing Jaune cowering behind him. The Ursa continues to sniff, uninterested in Jaune and following its nose to Cardin. He watches as it towers over Cardin, who gets his wits and pulls it out only for the monster to swipe it away to Jaune's feet. He looks conflicted, wondering whether to fight or run away.
Meanwhile, the roar of the giant Ursa is heard by the members of Teams GHZT, RWBY, and JNPR, still collecting sap on the other side of the forest.
"Did you guys hear that?" Ruby's voice showed concern.
Suddenly, the remaining members of Team CRDL are seen running the other way from the roar of the other students.
"Ursa! Ursa!" Russel yells as he runs into Yang, who seemed unfazed by his collision, and picks him up by his shirt.
"What?! Where?" She said worriedly.
"Back there! It's got, Cardin!" Russel muttered as he was struggling and still running in the air, but points back from where they came.
"Jaune!" Pyrrha dropped her jar.
"Yang! You and Blake, go get Professor Goodwitch!" Ruby commanded. Dropping Russel, Yang and Blake nod and follow her orders.
Ajax summons his mask and grabs Russel once again. "You'd better not be lying to us, dipshit," Russel shakes his head with fear as Geist drops him. "Hana, come with us, we may need some healing. Zack, go scout for more possible Grimm. Titus, go with Yang and Blake," He ordered his teammates, each one nods and does their assigned role.
Elsewhere, Cardin is attempting to run from the following Ursa, but it leaps over its prey and claws him away. He tries to get up and crawl away.
"Crap! Crap, crap!" he says as he tries to run away from the Ursa after being slashed by it.
