Ruby is seen hanging onto something black and feathery as the wind flies past her making her hair fly everywhere. Weiss's voice comes from behind her. Ruby turns to find her cape almost wrapping itself around Weiss's head.

Weiss: RUBY! I TOLD YOU THIS WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA!

Ruby: WE'RE FINE! STOP WORRYING!

Weiss: I AM SO FUCKING FAR BEYOND WORRYING! 

Ruby: IN A GOODWAY?

Weiss: IN A BAD WAY! IN A VERY BAD WAY!

Ruby: WELL, WHY DON'T WE JUST JUMP?

Weiss: WHAT ARE YOU? FUCKING INSANE?!

Weiss is only met with silence as she could have sworn she saw a flashing outline of where Ruby once was. 

Weiss: OH, YOU INSUFFERABLE LITTLE RED-!

Down on the ground, Blake's ears twitch as she stares up into the sky while pointing for Yang to look up. But unfortunately, she just wasn't taking the hint as she waved her hand in front of Blake's face like she was trying to get her attention.

Yang: Blake, did you hear that? What should we do? 

The sound of someone falling to their imminent doom finally catches Yang's attention as she looks up only to find the now-falling Ruby. 

Ruby: HEADS UUUUUUUPP!

Time slows as Yang moves to attempt to catch her sister only for a screaming Jaune to come flying in and collide with her sending them both off course into a tree at the edge of the clearing that Yang and Blake are in. Yang and Blake just look at each other confused while Ruby rolls her head dazed as miniature Beowolves and stars run around the outside of it.

Ruby: Oohhh... What was that?

Ruby does the only thing she can think of she shakes her head to get rid of the dizziness. She completely misses Jaune who is hanging in the tree upside down. 

Jaune: Eh-hem! Hey Ruby...

Blake just as confused as before looks to the tree.

Blake: Did your sister just fall from the sky?

Yang just stands there gobsmacked as the only word she can get it is.

Yang: I...

Before she can attempt to form a sentence several crashing noises mixed in with explosions come from the forest in front of them as an Ursa comes out claws swinging like it means business only for it to fall after one last pink explosion as Nora is on top of it.

Nora: YEEEE-HAAAW!

Nora rolls off the top of the now-dead Ursa onto the ground as she looks at it slightly upset.

Nora: Awwww... it's broken.

She then doesn't waste a moment as she starts looking at it from every angle while making an eww noise. Ren comes stumbling out of the forest exhausted as he rests his hand on the dead Grimm.

Ren: Nora! Please... Don't do that again. She's already gone, isn't she?

Ren looks up to find you guessed it a space that Nora once occupied now filled with a floating dotted outline as she is now over by the relics as she eyes the gold rook piece. 

Nora: Oooooohh... 

Nora doesn't even hesitate for a moment as she grabs the piece and starts dancing with the piece. First, it is on her foot then it's on her head.
