First Person POV, Shao Ip
I was making my way through the forest, hoping to see any potential candidates. But then I heard a female voice calling out. I quickly turned to investigate. It was Yang, all by herself. She was the one calling out to the woods. I quickly hide behind some bushes.

Yang: *calling out* Helloooooooo? *not seeing a shadow quickly pass by* Is anyone out there? Helloooo? *stops and raises her arms* I'm getting bored here!

I tried my best to keep my distance from her until I accidentally stepped on a branch, which alerted Yang to investigate where I was located.

Yang: What the heck was that? *Went to investigate*

I panicked and tried to flee, but one wrong step I'll get caught. Thankfully, Yang's attention was drawn to rustling coming from the opposite direction.

Yang: Is someone there? *the rustling continues as Yang comes over and peaks inside* Ruby, is that you?

I quickly climbed up a tree and used my eagle vision to see who was there. That was when I realized that it wasn't who was it was, but what was. Yang also got the message when a low, inhuman growl is heard, and her head rises up as she stares at the creature.

Yang: Nope!

Third Person
Yang quickly rolls to the side as an Ursa charges out of the green. She gets up and activates her Ember Celica, staring at the monster before another Ursa runs out behind her. She leaps over it, and its companion runs at her again, only to get knocked back by a fiery punch. The other Ursa and Yang charge at each other, and Yang manages to get under it and deliver several punches and a kick to send the creature back.

Yang: You guys wouldn't happen to have seen a girl in a red hood, would you? Or perhaps you might know this hooded guy, thought I could use the extra credit. *the Ursai merely growl at her* You could just say "no".

Ip: *mentally* Hmmm. She's good. Let's see what else she's got.

One of the Ursai stands on its legs and swipes at her twice, Yang barely dodging the attacks.

Yang: *laughing* Geeeez, you two couldn't hit the broad side of a ba...

Before she can complete her insult, a single strand of her golden hair falls in front of her face and lands on the forest floor.

Yang: You... *closes her violet eyes, then opens them to reveal red, making the Ursai look at each other confusedly before Yang screams* You monster!!!
An inferno surrounds Yang for a moment, and she rockets forward, unleashing a devastating combo of flaming hits and blows on the offending Ursa, making it fly through several burning trees.

Ip: *mentally while surprised* Geez! Remind me not to piss her off.

The other monster runs over, but stops short at Yang's gaze while a tree falls to the ground behind her.

Yang: What! You want some, too?!

The Ursa rears up and prepares to strike... right when a whirling noise is heard and the monster makes a befuddled noise, falling down a second later to reveal Blake Belladonna with her Gambol Shroud in the beast's back. Yang pants in exhaustion while Blake recalls the weapon back to her hand, sheathing it on her back and smiling to the side. Yang, now purple-eyed again, speaks to her new partner over the smoking remains of the monster.

Yang: I could've taken him.

Ip sighs as the mayhem was over.

Ip: *mentally* Glad that's over. Okay, I think should observe somebody else. *runs off*

Timeskip

Meanwhile across the Forest, Pyrrha Nikos, armed with Miló and Akoúo̱, and Jaune Arc are making their way through the bushes. Jaune hears a noise far away and turns his head.
