"There it is." I say to Weiss. "That is the old temple." I look down front the hill that we are on. I can see over the wall from here. There are a ton of pedestals all with the royal pieces in chess. One of each in both colors. I look over at Weiss. "Look, were the first ones here."
"Looks like it." I notice movement across the field right as Weiss moves to go toward the temple.
"No Weiss! Stop." I slip out one of my throwing knifes. And throw it as hard as I possibly can at the spot just above the movement and a black figure jumped, well actually crawled, out from the underbrush. Damn. "Weiss just keeps walking Weiss! Stop DAMNIT there's a Deathstalker over there you idiot!"
"I know that!" She shouts as she deliberately walks over too it. "I want to show you that I am better than you thought I am." She draws her rapier. "This should be good"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This is my chance to prove my worth. Now I will let her know that I am more than a piece of meat that she can push around." I look at my opponent. The bone covered entity of pure darkness in the shape of a scorpion, glared at me with its red eyes. It's tail twitching, ready to kill me.
I place my right foot ahead of my left as I take my stance. I hold my rapier in my left hand and hold my right out behind me to steady my traditional fencing stance. It's tail lunges at me and I use my semblance to conjure a glyph to stop the tail, then, taking a step with my left foot, I arc my sword arm upward to attack that same appendage. Knocking it away.
I activate another glyph under me and use it to propel myself into the air and towards its tail again. I put the middle of my blade next too my hip as I fly toward the selected target only to have a claw come up and rebuff me. I fall to the floor with my arms down to catch myself. My knees and hands connect with the dirt at the same time.
I stand and angrily whip around to face the massive shadowed scorpion. I reach next to me and pick up my rapier. It tries to lunge at me with its tail but I lift my blade to counter the orange tip of its tail. I rotate the Dust chamber in my rapier until it reaches the red dust then I lock it into place.
I arc my blade up into the air so a to fire off several dust rounds. Red beams of light stream through the air toward the death stalker. I create one of my light blue glyphs in front of the steaks of death to increase the velocity of the bolts.
The red streaks of flaming Dust fly toward the scorpion shaped death shadow. The bolts collide with it, instantly killing it. It's body evaporates and I look toward Ruby hoping for praise. "What is it about this girl?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was a thing. "Congratulations, you killed something that you have been trained to kill your whole life. You are so special!" I say with heavy, heavy, sarcasm. "Now if you don't mind, we have a temple to stake out."
"What? Why don't we collect our relic and go? I mean, that's the only reason we are here, Right?"
"Damnit Weiss. Just shut up and do as I say!" I shout at her and she visibly recoils, expecting me to hit her. I really thought about it. I really did. But now is not the time. "We need to see who takes what so we know what our team could be. If all goes as I wish, and statistically it will, then we need to team up with Yang and Blake. But that just assumes that they formed a team."
"Who are they?" Weiss asks. Clearly confused.
"Them." I say as I point a across the field. My blond headed sister and her black haired partner came out of the field on the other side.
Yang wore a tan vest with gold piping over a yellow low-cut crop top with a black crest that resembles a burning heart. The vest has puffy cap sleeves with black cuffs. On the sides of the cuffs, there are two small golden buttons. A brown belt with a buckle, a pouch, and a small banner-like object. The same burning heart crest appears on this banner, except golden in color. Black shorts under the belt, which resembles a pleated skirt in the back. Over the short shorts but under the belt is a white back skirt.
Blake wears black low-heeled boots and stockings that start off black at her hips, but gradually fade to purple as they near her shoes. On the outside of her stockings, there are white emblems that are most likely belladonna flowers. She wears black ribbons on both of her arms, with a black detached sleeve and a silver band on her left arm. A black buttoned vest with coattails, and a white sleeveless undershirt that exposes part of her midriff with white shorts that may be connected to her shirt, although it is partly obscured by the vest. Her shorts have a zipper on the front of each leg. She wears a detached scarf-like collar around her neck. She also has a gray magnetic plate strapped to her back like a backpack, for holstering Her weapon.
If I did my research correctly then the weapon is known as Gambol Shroud. "Weiss we need to get close so I can see what piece they grab." She nods and gestures for me to lead on. I slowly creep forward on the tips of my toes, and in a crouch. Weiss follows slowly behind me.
Once I reach the back wall of the temple I stand to look over the crumbling remains of the once great barrier. And notice Blake looking at the pieces.
"How about a cute little pony?" My sister calls. She holds up the white knight and waves it around.
"Sure. Why not." Blake replies, and they begin to walk toward the Forever Fall cliffs.
I reach behind me with my left hand and produce throwing knifes from the belt made specifically for carrying them. I have one in between each finger. I reach behind me with my right and grab Weiss's left wrist and pull her next to me. "Listen to me and listen close. Partner." I say and she instantly shows interest in what I have to say. "You need to go get the white knight. And you have to do it now. But be quiet. I know I'm holding knifes but I would like to avoid using them. No matter what it may look like I don't like too kill." That last part was not entirely the truth.
I don't like to kill. I love it.

"Sir I found something you might want to see." I say to headmaster Ozpin. "I am holding a little Manila envelope with some, well, rather disturbing information." I hand Ozpin the folder.
"Thank you Glynda. But is this important as of right now?"
"It involves our little 'detective'" I say with venom.
"Oh?" He says as he slides the single piece of paper out of the folder. What he sees surprises him to no end. The paper was a simple wanted poster. What it read was simple.
