The forest was mesmerizing, its vibrant crimson leaves swirling and dancing through the sky. It was a breathtaking display of natural beauty that left the students in awe.

"Yes, students, the forest of Forever Fall is indeed a sight to behold. But remember, we're not here for leisure. Professor Peach has tasked you all with collecting samples from the trees deep within this forest, and I'm here to ensure your safety," Glynda emphasized.

"Each of you is to gather one jar's worth of red sap. However, this forest is full of the creatures of Grimm, so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back here at 4 o'clock. Have fun!" she said.

I saw Cardin grab Jaune by the back and drag him away. I wonder what Jaune has in mind to teach him a lesson.

Though I also could have had a better time, collecting this sap was annoying. If only I had a semblance like Ruby's super speed to help me.

I could see Ruby and Weiss "cooperating," assuming they might as well put aside their differences until the "transfer" happens. But I knew this wouldn't happen; their chemistry was too good for that, and it didn't happen on the show after all.

Nora lingered behind me, eating all the tree sap. I couldn't help but wonder what it was about the sap that attracted the Ursas. I stuck a finger inside the jar of red sap, licked it, and found it tasted like honey. Maybe since they're bears, that was why?

I can't blame them, though. I want more of this as the urge slowly engulfs me.

Suddenly, piercing screams shattered the peace. Russel from Team CRDL emerged from the bush, catching us off guard with the unexpected turn of events.

"Someone, anyone, we need help! There's a Ursa where we're at! Blake, Ruby, Weiss, Kaiser, we need your help!" he pleaded.

"How annoying," Weiss said.

"At least that's one thing I can agree with you."

"Oh, shut it," she responded.

I looked at the jar of red sap, "Don't think you're safe, I'm coming to eat you later after this."

When we arrived at the cliff side, everyone stood on guard as we organized in formation and prepared our next plan.

Ruby immediately took charge, stepping to the front. "Blake, Yang, Pyrrha, flank it so we have a better chance of capturing it. Kaiser, Weiss, support me while I take the lead."

"Hey, who made you the leader?" Weiss snapped. "Let's just hit it with everything we've got from the front and finish this already!"

"Weiss, listen! I need you to enhance my semblance and speed with your glyphs. I'm planning to knock the Ursa off the cliff, and I need the extra boost to pull it off," Ruby explained. "Kaiser, with your semblance, I want you to guide me where the Ursa's following movements will be so I can accurately hit it."

"Aye, aye, Captain Ruby!"

My semblance came to life, the Ursa's future movements began to glow with an ominous red hue. Each potential strike and step it might take was vividly outlined.

"Right there!" I shouted, pointing to the exact spot where the beast would lunge next, which was Jaune, who acted as bait.

The cocoon of vibrant, fragrant roses, surrounded by petals, blurred as it moved at high speeds.

The combined impact created by the force of Weiss's glyphs and Ruby's petal burst launched the Ursa off quickly, roaring as it fell.

"Moving at such speeds, how are you not dizzy?"
