Ruby cursed as she felt herself launched suddenly from the ground and high into the air. Not a moment's warning, one minute she was on the ground, and the next, she was flying through the air on a collision course with the ground. It would waste a bit of her energy, but she did have a plan to prevent the impact that would most likely kill her. She focused a ball of energy into her left hand. before aiming it at the ground and letting out a pillar of silver fire while using Petal Burst, pushing her up, and slowing down, the rate at which she fell to manageable levels, until she could touch the ground without turning into a human pancake.
"Well, that was something." Ruby quipped to herself, before realizing there wasn't anyone around, and talking to yourself was a sign of insanity. Whatever the case was, she needed to find someone fast. The Fel of the forest were dangerous to take on alone, and she really didn't want to end up with someone she didn't know.
Speaking of which, Ruby began to run through the options in her head. There was, of course, Yang, her first and best choice; Older sister, lifelong friend, stealthy to make up for her more blunt approach, and a blast to be around. There was Jaune, also, but there is the worry Ruby would have to watch over him, at every step. The counter point was that he seemed to have massive potential. The other choice is Weiss, though she doesn't know her fighting capabilities. The other girl she met last night, who called herself "Blake", seemed nice enough, and the blows she had been practicing, showed that she obviously had quite a bit of skill.
Whoever she met, she would need to do it fast, because this forest was filled with loads of dark energy radiating off the Fel, and going it alone was about as bad of an idea as letting Yang loose on a beach full of cute guys. It could only end badly.
With a sigh, Ruby began forward, wishing that she had the ability to feel Aura's as well as she saw them. But that skill was mostly kept for conductors to help them build their strategies. A sudden rustle of foliage broke her free from her pondering and made her take a battle stance, already building up power to launch an attack. "Looks like finding another person will have to wait." She muttered to herself, getting ready to strike.

Yang laughed out loud as she was suddenly launched into the air, taking the time to do a few spins while her body was light as air. How many times could a person say they were sent flying like this and actually got to do some tricks in the air? Probably not many, so she wasn't going to waste it.Once a spin or two was done, she looked down at the various others who must have been launched at different angles. Most of them seemed to be landing rather well, using trees, their Aura, weapons, or anything else to help prevent a big splat when the ground came rushing to meet them.
Well, except for the blonde guy that Ruby and herself had been talking to earlier. He seemed to be screaming his head off and trying his best to swim in the air. She considered helping him, but found that someone else was already on it. Before he could hit the ground, a spear came flying out of the trees, and hit a tree he was going by. By the looks of it, the spear was probably meant to go through his outfit to pin him to the tree, but at the last moment, he adjusted himself to grab hold of it and hang on above the ground.
Good thing Ruby helped with the guy's Aura, might have looked pretty lame if he had actually gotten stuck to a tree. Yang snickered at the idea and realized she should probably think of her own landing strategy, seeing as the ground was a lot closer than before. She fired a blast from her gauntlets to easen the fall, before her arms turn into glowing yellow dragon claws, making her crash-slide to the floor.
Her Semblance was known as Burn, where she can create bigger and construct versions of her muscles or her full body at the cost of sanity. As a result of her rage and fiery power, it often takes the form of a dragon. After enforcing her legs with a hardened Aura the shock from a few snapping under the force didn't even register, and she finally landed on one branch that held firm for her.
