Remnant's Tactician

Chapter 9: Grimm Encounters

"Blake, did you hear that?" Yang waved her hand in front of her partner "What should we d-"

"Yang." I place my hand on her shoulder, causing the blonde to look at me. I then pointed up as she looked to where I was pointing.

"Heads uuuuuup!"

In the sky, Ruby was falling from wherever she came from. Before getting close to the ground, another yelled came from the side when suddenly Jaune flew by and crashed into Ruby. Yang, Blake and I winced from the sound of the impact as they landed in the trees.

"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake got out, looking to where they landed.

"I-"

When Yang was about to speak, we heard growling from the forest. An Ursa Minor emerged out of the trees in front of it with Nora riding on its back like it was a horse.

"Yee-haw!" The energetic girl exclaimed when something blew up on the Ursa's back, knocking it to the ground as Nora rolled off of it. "Aww, it's broken."

She then stood above its head and checked up on it as Ren caught up, catching his breath as he leaned against the probably dead Ursa.

"Nora..." Ren panted. "Please... don't ever do that again..."

When he looked back to her, she was gone. Ren frantically looked around for her as Nora was at the temple, eyeing on a white rook piece.

"Ooooo~" She then grabbed the Relic and held it up high, a sudden fanfare sounded as if to notify her of some sort of achievement. "I'm Queen of the castle~, I'm Queen of the castle~." She sang as she danced a bit, even placing the Relic on her head.

"NORA!" Ren yelled angrily.

"Hehehe, coming Ren!" She giggled, doing a salute and tilting her head to the side, making the Relic fall off and caught it in her free hand.

"Did... she just ride an Ursa all the way here?" I questioned.

"I... uh-"

Yang was cut off once more when something screeched from the forest. We saw Pyrrha running towards our direction... with a Deathstalker chasing after her! The large scorpion Grimm tried to grab Pyrrha with its claws, but she managed to avoid them.

"Jaune!" She called out.

Jumping down from the trees, Ruby landed and rolled a bit before we noticed her there.

"Ruby?" Yang got out, surprised.

"Yang!" Ruby exclaimed happily, arms wide as the two were about to hug.

"Nora!" Said girl suddenly popped up between the two, startling them.

"Did she just run all the way here with a Deathstalker on her tail?" Blake asked, crossing her arms while watching Pyrrha running away from said Grimm.

"I'm amazed she's able to outrun it." I said before noticing Yang shaking with anger.

"Grrr! I can't take it anymore!" Yang exploded, her hair suddenly lit up in flames and her lilac eyes turned red. "Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before anything crazy happens again?!"

With that outburst, I mentally counted the two seconds as Yang was breathing heavily from her yell. Then I remembered, how did Ruby fall from the... Oh... That's how...

"Um... Yang..." Ruby got out, making Yang realize what she said and slumped her shoulders. The younger sister pointed up as Blake and I kept watch of a Nevermore flying by with a certain Schnee.

"How could you leave me!" Weiss yelled, holding onto the giant bird Grimm's talon.

"I said 'jump'." Ruby got out.
