"ugh....."

Arthur's body is sprawled all along the ground under a tree, his eyes closed. He groans as someone yells at him in the distance.

Ruby: "Arthur!"

Her red cloak flaps in the wind as she runs to Arthur's side. He finally rolls himself over and stretches out. She reaches him as he sits up and leans against the tree. He rubs his temples as she croaches down to him, stars in her eyes.

Ruby: " Arthur! That blue-beam-thing! Was that you?!"

Arthur: "Who else would it be?"

He scratches the back of his head as Ruby just seems to get more excited.

Ruby: " Thatwassocool!Howdidyoudoit?wasityourcane?maybeyoursemblance?someosrtofsecretweapon-"

Arthur: " Ruby, please slow down."

Arthur cuts her off before she can continue with her speedy talking. Ruby quickly realizes she started ranting and sports a rosy blush. She pushes some hair from her face before continuing.

Ruby: "Sorry."

Arthur: " It's fine. From what I pieced together from that jumble, you wanted to know what I just did, didn't you?"

Ruby: " Yeah! What even was that? It looked like a beam of light that slashed through the Nevermores! There was a lot of wind, too!"

Arthur: " Well... it's a secret trump card for my cane. It uses a whole condensed Dust crystal. That, plus my Aura capabilities, results I a devastating attack and... well, you've seen what it does.

Ruby nods........ before abruptly answering.

Ruby: "I mean, Y-yeah."

He gets up from the ground with Ruby following his action. He pops his neck before talking to Ruby again.

Arthur:" I'll explain more later. But for now, let's head back with the others."

Ruby: " Alright."

Arthur starts walking away with Ruby quickly following.

"Russel Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing, Sky Lark"

The loud sound of applause was heard from dozens of initiates back at the Beacon Amphitheater. On the stage next to Olivia, four boys stood at attention, almost like they were in the military.

Olivia:" The four of you retrieved the Black Bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL, led by... Cardin Winchester!"

(CRDL is pronounced Cardinal)

A screen behind Olivia shows pictures of the four as well as the letters making their team name underneath each picture. She waves the four away as four more come onto the stage.

Olivia: " Jaune Arc. Lian Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the White Rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JNPR."

(JNPR is pronounced Juniper)

Jaune, Ren, Pyrrha, and Nora all stand like the four before them. The four of them had smiles on their faces. More applause erupts from the crowd as Nora hugs Ren, who's right next to her.
