3rd Pov

We open up to an overhead view of Emerald Forest, where a black bird(Qrow) is flying slowly and magnificently, right up to the moment it gives a final shriek and Ruby crashes through it in a burst of feathers as she plummets downward.

Qrow: Ow!

Ruby: Birdie, no!

Ruby fires off a few rounds from Crescent Rose to slow her down, then turns the weapon into its scythe form to catch the branch of a tree in her blade and fall downward at a slower pace.

Weiss, armed with Myrtenaster, summons a white snowflake circle under her and leaps off of it to the forest below.

Rin descends (with Nora Valkyrie briefly being seen next to her at a faster speed) and spins in the air, eventually using StormFlower's blades to spiral around the trunk of a large tree and hit the ground, brushing off her clothes before looking up to see...

Yang: Woo-hoo! Yeah! Alley-oop!

Yang, soaring right over the treetops, is using her gauntlets and its fiery force to push her through the air further and further north, spinning and laughing with each blast, even when she crashes through the leaves of a tree and leaps off two trunks to tumble to the ground.

Yang: Fuck yah! Nailed it!*runs off*

Pyrrha, her weapon in sword form and armed with a shield, crashes through several trees and rolls on a branch, immediately shifting her blade into a rifle and looking through the scope at June as she continues to scream and fall helplessly. Pyrrha coolly transforms her weapon again to its spear form, takes a moment to evaluate her throw, and rockets the javelin deep into the forest until a "THUNK!" is heard.

June:*in the distance* Thank you, Pyrrha!

Pyrrha:*waving* I'm sorry, June!

In the middle of the forest, Ruby lands in a crouch, then darts off with a single mantra in her mind.

Ruby: Gotta find Yang! Gotta find Yang, gotta find Yang, gotta find....*shouting* Yang! Yaaaang! *internally, now seeing herself partnered with various people* Oh, this is bad, this is really bad... What if I can't find her? What if someone finds her first? Well, there's always June. She's nice. She's funny! ...I don't think she's very good in a fight, though. Ooh! What about Blake?! So mysterious, so calm... Plus she likes books! Then again, I'm not sure I'd be able to hold a conversation with her... Ugh! Oh! There's Y/n!.........Yep Y/n!*shakes her head of daydreams* Okay... Who else do I know in this school? There's Yang, June, Blake, Y/n aaaand...

Time seems to slow down as Ruby skids to a halt in front of Weiss as she is turning to face her. She stops just in time for their eyes to meet and a pregnant pause follows. This ends when Weiss turns on her heel and walks the other way.

Ruby:*following her slightly* Wait! Where are you going?!*stops and kicks the ground dejectedly* We're supposed to be teammates...

Weiss is seen struggling through the forest, giving an occasional grunt or "Ow!" as she pushes plants out of her way. She brushes herself off and sighs in relief when she hears a voice above her.

June:*apparently struggling to free herself* Come on, come on! Stupid spear...!

Weiss sees June hanging a few feet in the air by the spear embedded in her hood and the tree behind her. As she gives up trying to pull it out, she looks down and sees Weiss, giving an embarrassed wave.

June:*embarrassed* Hey.

Weiss: Fuck it.

Weiss simply heads back in the direction she came from and June groans in dejection.
