BBPersona RWBY: Volume One

Chapter 7: The Emerald Forest

4/12 Emerald Forest Daytime

Shirogane and Rise, at the same time, was walkthrough the forest in search for any contact. "Hmm... Not one of our Senpais are nearby unfortunately. Kanji and Teddie are likely aren't far off too." Rise stated as she had Himiko out, scanning for their friends. Shirogane speculated her thoughts as to their position. "Perhaps certain abilities are not available in the real world, but still." Shirogane said. "Rise-San, can you try to attune the scan more wider?" She asked her, "Easier said than done." Rise gloated as she concentrated her powers. However, she sensed something within her range. "Huh? Wait, I'm getting something... What... What is this!?" Rise ask in shock, "What's wrong, Rise-San?" Shirogane questioned, "I don't know what it is, but there's a pair heading our way! Get ready!" Rise told her partner. While Rise readied Kouzeon and Shirogane armed herself with Yamato Sumeragi. A couple of Ursai immediately pounced over the bushes and made a swipe which missed Shirogane, back-stepping away, and the other pushed Rise back, with her sliding back. "Whoa! That's rough!" Rise said, "Are these the one you sensed Rise-San?" Shirogane asked. "Is it possible that what she detected were these Grimm? Maybe it's possible." She pondered. Having lost in thought, one of the Ursai, had took the advantage and charged forth when she didn't notice it. "Naoto-Kun look out!" Rise yelled seeing it coming, using her semblance to created music notes as they launch towards the charging Ursa. The music notes exploded upon contact with the Grimm and blasted the Ursa away. "That not like you Naoto-Kun!" Rise said, "Rise-san!" Shirogane turned to her friend as the Ursa dashed at Rise with swiping claws left and right. "Ah-AAAAhhh!" Rise yelled as she was pushed to the ground. "Ow.", "Sukuna-" Shirogane was just about to summon her Persona, until a loud bang rang followed by a yellow blurr vaulting over Rise and bashed her fist into the Ursa's face, propelling the Grimm far. It was Yang who appeared in their defense while Blake appeared from the bushed after Yang. "Y-Yang-San! Blake-San!" She said in surprise, "What's up guys?" Yang smiled as she retracted her weapon into a bracelet form. She offered a hand to Rise on the ground, "Oh hey, Thanks!" Said Rise, expressing her gratitude. "So are you guys looking for those ruins, too?" She asked, "It was mentioned by the Headmaster that we need to find the ruins with the relics for each partners." Blake explained, "Indeed." Shirogane nodded as she then took her cap off and pat the dust off. "While we was in the air, I saw something that looked the part just a few yards ahead." She explained, putting her cap back on, "Hey?! What about Nu and Lambda?!" Nu called out to them, as she and Lambda came to view, "You guys don't mind at all, do y'all?" Lambda asked, "Oh, let's go together then! We probably won't have any problems if we go together." Rise had to them, and so they did. Both Kagura and Hazama was looking for the abandoned temple, "Goodness gracious! Who knew that it'll take this long to find that temple." Kagura said, "Not to mention that we had to fight the Grimms, along the way." Hazama pointed out, then they heard something in front of them, "Hey wait a sec, something coming." Kagura said, they both readied themselves for whatever will come out, "Ouch! Damn it, talk about roots and twigs." Makoto said as she and Tsubaki came to view, "Are you okay Makoto?" Tsubaki asked, "Well, well, well. It's Tsubaki and Makoto." Kagura said with a amusing smirk, "Oh of all people, we had to run into you Kagura." Makoto complained in disappointment, "Well. Now that almost half the group is here, might as well look for that abandoned temple together." Tsubaki mention, "That's a great idea Miss Yayoi." Hazama said, "Okay than. Makoto lead the way." Tsubaki said, "Okie dokie Tsubaki, whatever you say." Makoto said, she then jumped on a tree branch and started to lep on the other branches as she searched for the temple, with Hazama, Kagura, and Tsubaki all following her while they ran on the ground. "So I'm guessing you two are partners?" Kagura ask, "Yes, we are... I just hope the others are okay." Tsubaki said as she looked at the ground, "Do not worry Miss Yayoi. I'm sure that they'll be fine. No matter what teams we're on, we'll all still look out for one another." Hazama said making Tsubaki feel better, "Thanks Hazama." She replied.
