FADE IN:

INT. AIRSHIP - DAY

The door of the airship is wide open.

The airship is above the Emerald Forest.

YORUMI MIDORI and ASHEN PINE are in an airship.

MIDORI: Ever heard of a landing strategy before?

Ashen teleports away.

EXT. SKY - DAY

The crisp blue sky above the green trees.

Ashen ends up teleporting into the middle sky and starts falling.

ASHEN (shirking): AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

He teleports again. He is closer to the trees, but still falling.

ASHEN (shirking): AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

He teleports once more.

EXT. EMERALD FOREST - DAY

The emerald-green forest stretches out for miles.

Ashen lands on solid ground.

ASHEN (breathing heavily): I'm alive.

Midori slams into the ground, right next to him, with Midori's gun landing near Ashen's feet.

Midori is snoring, drool coming out of his mouth.

Ashen cocks his head and picks up the closest stick to him. Ashen jabs Midori with the stick.

Midori is dead-sleep.

CRASH!

Trees are crashing down in a pathway that is aimed at Ashen and Midori, by a ursa minor. HAIL SCHNEE and YING BELLADONNA-XIAO LONG are riding the back of the beast.

As the rampaging ursa minor gets closer to them, Ashen grabs Midori's pistol and jumps in-front of the sleeping Midori.

Ashen pulls the trigger and the bullets hit.

The ursa minor is killed, Hail and Ying fall to the ground as grimm turns to black dust.

Midori slowly starts to wake up and get off the ground.

ASHEN: Why were you riding an ursa!

YING (beams): I was in a tree and I fell on it. I kept riding because it was fun!

HAIL: Same answer.

ASHEN (groans): Yeah! Sounds like ya two!

YING: Why the heck are you here? Aren't supposed to be working at a bookstore?

Midori snatches his Peashooter back from Ashen.

MIDORI: He's with me. Nightmare hunting.

ASHEN: One of my sisters is in danger! Have you seen Selene and/or Summer anywhere?

YING: Not since the start of initiation!

HAIL: Though, everyone is trying to find the "relics" and each set of partners gets one.

EXT. TEMPLE - DAY

Mixed with the cluster of trees are temple ruins.

SELENE ROSE spots the temple ruins with the mini replicas of the relics: Creation, Destruction, Knowledge, and Choice.

Five boned-striped, a type of grimm that have bones that striped their cat-like bodies like a tiger pattern, blocks her path. With her weapon in hand, she readies herself for a fight.
