Ruby POV

I zip through the forest, resting only to recharge my Semblance. Luckily, I had made it out of the fungal forest before anybody could catch me. I stare at the sea, breathing in the fresh, misty air. 

Ruby - Alright! Let's do this.

I dash forward, my destination being the first buoy on the ocean. Then the next, then the next, then the next. Until I did it. I reached the last buoy. 

Ruby - There's the desert. And 3... 2... 1... Hiyaah!

I jump, using my crescent rose continuously to close the gap. The moment I landed, a trap went off right under me. It didn't do much, just make a loud noise.

Ruby - A loud...Oh no.

Ahead was a pod of Grimm, and they were headed towards me. Fast.

Ruby - Eat it!

Neptune POV 

Neptune - Please! No! Sun!

Sun - We gotta hurry!

Neptune - But the ocean!

Sun - *Sigh* Stay cool, okay? I'll win for us.

With that, Sun began jumping across the sea.

Neptune - Well. I guess I'll head back.

I begin to make my way back. Throughout the noise of screaming huntsman, yelling huntresses, and dying Grimm, I har an odd noise. A low hum. I look around the area to find it. Eventually, the noise leads to what seemed like a blue light. Upon approaching, someone pops out of it.

Yuna - Hey! It's me, Yuna. 

Neptune - Oh, Hey.

Yuna - You found the secret desert entrance.

Neptune - Wait, repeat that?

Yuna- This will let you skip the ocean and land smack in the middle of the desert.

Neptune - Thank Poseidon! OMG! Gimme.

Yuna - Have fun!

Neptune - Definitely.

Yang POV

Blast after blast, I keep firing. Only stopping to reload my ammunition. Suddenly, the loudspeakers begin to sound.

Y/n - It seems like Fox and Coco have made it to the end! 2 out of 3000+ are already in. Only 24 spots left!

Yang - How the hell? I gotta get here now.

Eventually, I land on the roof of the mansion, effectively skipping the island.

Yang - A bird's eye view's the best. 

I begin jumping down when I notice something shiny on the chimney funnel. A key. I get it then hurry into the central room. Upon my arrival, I find someone mid-teleport. I hurry over to another teleporter and slide in the key. It was real.

Jaune POV

I was slicing open some Grimm on the dark island when I heard the speaker.

Y/n - Our 11th contestant has made it! Congratulations Dew! Only 25 more slots to go!

Jaune - Shoot.

I ran for the gate, Grimm on my heel. Upon entering the gate, the Grimm immediately lose interest and back away.

Jaune - Phew!
