After finding herself in this strange new world, Juhani began navigating through the forest. Eventually, Juhani found Blake finds Weiss. Upon seeing
Blake: Weiss!
Weiss: Blake! Juhani!
The turn to each other and hug one another, happy to see that the other was okay.
Blake: It's good to see you again, Weiss. I...I feared the worse.
Juhani: I made a promise to you, Blake. I do not intend to break that promise
After the reunion, Juhani along with Blake and Weiss began looking for the rest of Blake's Gambol Shroud.
Blake: You really think it's around here somewhere?
Weiss: I wouldn't exactly say I'm certain about anything at the moment...
Weiss and Blake are seen walking together in the forest.
Weiss: Gambol Shroud fell after you and Ruby, but before I did. And we found each other, so...what is this place?
Blake: I don't know. None of my guesses really make sense.
Blake looks behind her, seeing a vine moving on a tree.
Weiss: Blake....I'm really glad you're okay.
Blake: I'm really glad you are too. And if we are, then that means Yang and Ruby might be.
Weiss smiles before turning away with a frown as she turns to face Juhani.
Weiss: How did you fall, Juhani?
Juhani: I did not. I jumped.
Weiss: You...what? Why in Oum would you do that?
Juhani: I could feel the Force calling to me from the void. I simply trusted my instincts. Still....I thought I had lost Blake.
Blake smiled as she hugged her sister.
Blake: Weiss....can you...what happened after we fell?
Weiss pauses for a bit, sighing.
Weiss: We should focus on finding everyone else first.
Blake looks down, frowning, before hearing Weiss yell out.
Weiss: I think I see something!
Blake proceeds forward to join her. They find the katana part of Gambol Shroud entangled in thorny vines.
Blake: I guess it could've been worse...
Weiss: Well, good news, I'm low on Dust.
Blake: That wasn't an invitation, Weiss.
Weiss: Sorry.
Juhani: Be careful. Something's not right.
Heeding Juhani's words, the two girls proceed to work on trying to get the katana out of the vines. Blake tries to pull, but to no avail. Weiss then tries to slash through it with Myrtenaster, but the vines immediately grow back, causing Weiss to groan in frustration. Blake then tries to reach for it by leveraging herself from a palm tree. Weiss is seen cheering Blake on.
Weiss: Yeah! Woo!
Blake's hand barely touches her katana, but suddenly the vines sprout out towards her.
Weiss: Huh?
The vines start to head toward Weiss too, and the two are ensnared in the vines. As the vines began to rush towards Juhani, the Cathar Jedi reached for her Lightsaber and cuts the vines. Suddenly, a swarm of mice emerge, cheering. They stop in front of the trapped Huntresses.
Mouse: The trap has been sprung!
The mice tribe leader is then seen running up the vines.
Mouse Leader: Justice befalls our prey!
The mice tribe cheers.
Weiss: Are they....talking?
Blake: Not what I'm worried about right now!
Juhani glances over to see Ruby Rose approaching the camp with a mouse on her shoulder.
Juhani: Ruby!
The mice tribe cheers again. Ruby stares in bewilderment at the sight, nudging her shoulder to wake Little up.
Little: What's going on? Oh, hey, it's your cat friend.
Ruby catches Little in her hands, and the mice tribe notices them.
Mouse Leader: A new adversary approaches! We must liberate our kin!
The mice tribe cheers again. Ruby stares in bewilderment at the sight, nudging her shoulder to wake Little up.
Little: What's going on? Oh, hey, it's your cat friends!
Ruby catches Little in her hands, and the mice tribe notices them.
Mouse Leader: A new adversary approaches! We must liberate our kin!
The mice tribe cheers again. Little soon explains how Little had encountered Ruby and befriended her.
Little: I didn't know what to do because she looked sad. But then we talked, and she seemed less sad. Then she pulled the cheese out of the ground on her own!
The mice tribe gasp in surprise. A white mouse with red eyes faints. The Mouse Leader runs towards Blake, who is now free from the vines. She kneels down to speak to them.
Mouse Leader: You have our sincerest apologies! Please understand that our kind is a bit skeptical of cats...and snakes...and cats.
Blake: We understand. If...we could ask, have you seen anyone else who looks like us? Long, blonde hair, looks kinda scary but isn't?
Weiss: But could be if she wanted to.
Ruby chuckles sheepishly. The Mouse Leader shakes its head. Blake stands up to rejoin Juhani, Ruby and Weiss.
Juhani: Are you okay?
Blake: I'll be fine, Juhani. I can't believe I fell for that trap. Stupid....
Juhani: My master once taught me that failure is the greatest teacher.
As Juhani said this, they shared a tender moment with Ruby.
Ruby: Before all of...this, I was trying to go to that cliff over there. I figured going to higher ground and getting my bearings would be good.
Weiss: Sounds like the best option for now.
Little: If you wanna go to the cliff, I can help with that.
Blake gets startled after Little climbs up to her shoulder.
Little: I don't have anything to do yet.
Ruby: Yet?
Little: I can be your trusty guide.
As Little offered to help, Juhani felt something strange. She looked around this place and could feel something within this place.
Blake: Juhani?
Juhani: This...this place....it is strong with the Force. Not Light or Dark. Simply....Balance.
Ruby: We should get going. The sooner we get to that tree, the sooner we can find Yang.
With that, Ruby along with Juhani, Weiss and Blake had found new guides in the form of Little. Now all they needed to do was find Yang.
