"Jaune! Nora! I'm glad you guys found- HEY!" Yang started, before being thrown sideways by a dark blur. "Help! I'm getting attacked by something!"

"Yang, that's just Blake! Don't hurt her!" Pyrrha yelled, running into the bushed to pull Blake off of Yang.

"Let me go! I want to see Yang!" Blake growled in protest, being dragged near the fire.

"What happened to her?" Yang asked, surprised at her partner's sudden change of emotion.

"She went into massive denial the first night you guys were gone, and Nora slowly descended into, well, this." Jaune said, pointing at the still giggling girl on the ground.

"Damn, must have been hard. Anyways, I'm going to get Ren. He's still resting, his leg was nearly taken off by the shrapnel from the crash." Yang said, punching her fist against a tree, causing Ren to fall from it into her arms.

"Yang, what's- Nora? Jaune? When did you guys get here?" Ren said, clutching onto Yang's shoulder as he limped over to where Nora was sitting. "What happened to Nora?"

"You're pretty much her sanity, Ren. That's what happens when someone loses their sanity." Jaune explained, his arm still around Pyrrha.

"You guys wouldn't happen to have some duct tape, would you? We've been trying to make a metal pole with the spare metal we have from the explosion, but we need something to hold it together." Yang asked, gasping as she saw Jaune pull a roll of bright red duct tape from his backpack.

"Pyrrha, get the pole going!" Yang shouted as Pyrrha used her semblance to create a tall radio-tower looking metal structure, as well as lifting Yang up on a sheet of metal.

"Hurry, I'm not sure how much longer I can sustain this!" Pyrrha yelled, clearly struggling to even use her semblance at all.

"What she's doing is basically making us a radio tower so we can use our scrolls to get help. We've been trying this since day one, but we couldn't get anything." Ren explained, patting Nora on the back, who was now sleeping calmly.

"Ah, got it." Jaune mumbled, seeing the thirty-foot tall structure wobble a bit. "Pyrrha, you can do this. I believe in you!"

"Almost done, just a few more pieces!" Yang yelled down, and within the hour, it was completed.

"You guys wouldn't happen to have some food, would you? We've been trying to ration it for the whole journey." Ren asked, his eyes growing as he saw almost twenty sandwiches fall from Blake's backpack.

That night, everyone was with their partners, finally happy and sane again.

"Are you guys ready to try it out?" Jaune asked, holding his scroll up in the air as if it was Excalibur.

"Hell yeah we are!" Nora and Yang yelled in unison, as Jaune tapped in three numbers into his scroll, hearing the dial tone ring. Everyone stood in suspense as they heard the dial tone ring.
