A blackbird is flying slowly and magnificently, right up to the moment it shrieks, and Ruby crashes through it in a burst of feathers as she plummets downward.

"Birdie, no!" Ruby screamed.

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

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

Ren descends (with Nora Valkyrie briefly being seen next to him 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 his clothes before looking up to see--

"Woo-hoo! Yeah! Alley-oop!" Yang screamed.

Yang, soaring right over the treetops, her gauntlets and their fiery force 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.

"Nailed it," Yang said, running off.

(Y/N), flying around in the sky, utilizes his wand to propel himself to a nearby tree safely, sliding down to the floor and going in a random direction.

Pyrrha, her weapon in sword form, crashes through several trees and rolls on a branch, immediately shifting her blade into a rifle and looking through the scope at Jaune as he screamfalls helplessly. Pyrrha coolly transforms her weapon again to its spear form, takes a moment to evaluate her throw, and rockets the spear deep into the forest until a "THUNK!" is heard.

"Thank you!" Jaune said at a distance.

"I'm sorry!" Pyrrha said, waving.

In the middle of the forest, Ruby lands in a crouch and then darts off with a single mantra in her mind. Gotta find Yang! Gotta find Yang, gotta find Yang, gotta find... "Yang! Yaaaang!" Oh, this is bad, this is bad... What if I can't find her? What if someone finds her first? Well, there's always Jaune. He's nice. He's funny! ...I don't think he'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... Then there's (Y/N)... he is funny, cool, magical, and... She shakes her head, trying to stop blushing. Okay... Who else do I know in this school? There's Yang, Jaune, 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 followed her slightly, "Wait! Where are you going?!" She 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.

Jaune, struggling to free himself, began to scream, "Come on, come on! Stupid...!"

Weiss sees Jaune hanging a few feet in the air by the spear embedded in his hood and the tree behind him. As he gives up trying to pull it out, he looks down and sees Weiss, giving an embarrassed wave. Weiss simply heads back in the direction she came from, and Jaune groans in dejection.

Weiss passes Ruby and pulls on her hood, "By no means does this make us friends."

Ruby was overjoyed as she was dragged away into the bushes, "You came back!"

Jaune sees the scene and waves his arms, "Wait! Come back! Who's going to get me down from here?!"

Pyrrha was below Jaune, seeing him struggle to get out, "Jaune?" He looks down at his savior, "Do you... have any spots left on your team?"

Jaune, crossing his arms, said, "Very funny..." He eventually looks down at her and gives her a smile, which she returns.

"What's the hurry?" Ruby asked.

"I will not let my mission be delayed because you're too slow! I swear if I get a bad grade because of your—" A smiling Ruby suddenly appears next to her, "What the...?"

"I'm not slow, see? You don't have to worry about me!"

Weiss, looking back, slightly amazed, "When did...?"

"Weiss, just because I don't exactly know how to deal with people doesn't mean I don't know how to deal with monsters!" Ruby gets an arm around a skeptical Weiss' shoulders, "You're about to see a whole different side of me today, Weiss, and after it's all over, you're going to be like, "Wow! That Ruby girl is cool... and I wanna be her friend!"'

Ruby disappears in a shower of rose petals, which Weiss waves away from her face just as she hears crackling and rustling in the bushes around her.

Weiss calls out to Ruby, "You may be fast, but you still excel at wasting time!" There was silence, save more noises, "Ruby?" The forest darkens, forcing Weiss to lean in to try and find her new partner as a pair of red eyes are seen glaring behind her, "Ruby...?"

Multiple pairs of red eyes stare at her from the bushes, and a deep growl is heard. She turns around until she spots a large, jagged Beowolf emerging from a bush and approaching her.

"RUBY!"
