Lurking Darkness

The Emerald Forest

"I KNOW! We'll have some sort of distress signal. Like a secret signal, can you imitate a sloth?" Nora zooms around Ren.

"Nora?" He says stoically.

"Yes Ren?"
As he conceals his pistols in his sleeves.

"I don't think sloths makes a lot of noise."
She looks around thinking.

"THAT WHY ITS PERFECT." She throws her arms in the air.

"That poor dude, she must drive him crazy. Oh hey Ruby and Yang!"

"Oh hey Y/n! Are you excited?" Says a jumpy Ruby with her giant scythe.

"You know I am sis." As you hear the loading sound of Yangs weapons, you are impressed to see that Yang just punches the hell out of everything. Ruby and Yang are almost total opposites so you wonder how on Remnant that they're sisters.

"Me too Yang, today, I get to let my sweetie do the talking." She runs her scythe.

"Yea, I cant wait to completely destroy some Grimm." You plant a fist into your palm.

"Hello again Y/n!" You turn to see Pyrrha and wave hello back, then you point out to her she's kind of being stalked by Weiss, she had no idea.

"Will all first hear students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation?" You hear Glynda speak over the intercom.
Excitedly, you immediately begin walking.

As you are flying through the air, now you have to come up with a way to not splat on the ground, luckily, you find a giant tree which you throw Moonwake into and do some swings until your slow enough to safely not splat.
Just above you can hear the sounds of gunfire, you see Ruby shoot her scythe to begin slowing, you also see Yang flying with gauntlets.

"Wow they're impressive." Unfortunately, you don't have a lot of time to gawk at their strategies, as three Beowolves appear from the brush and begin encircling you. You ready Moonwake as one of them charges you, you dodge right, but not before you manage you slash it's left hind leg, immobilizing it. Two left.
The other two decide for the two pronged approach, and the both attempt a flank, as they charge you jump into the air, and come down with a hard slash to both of their heads. Taking two Grimm out with one strike. You finish the injured one and head on your way.

Blake's P.O.V
"Now I just to get find a partner, and apparently it's the first person we loo—."

"WHAT?! YOU WANT SOME TOO?"
The trees ahead have been bulldozed by what seems to be, Yang.

"Well I should probably help."
You finish the Ursa in one hit from behind and give Yang a funny look.

"I coulda taken him." She says out of breath.
You give a chuckle as now Yang is your partner.

Y/n P.O.V
It feels like you've been running for hours at this point, and you haven't seen anyone in that time, you hear some fighting up ahead and decide to join in.

"And done!" You see a happy Yang and wave, she waves back.

"Hey there Y/n! Do you still not have a partner?" She places her fists on her hips.

"You're actually the first person I've seen here like two hours."

"Wow that's crazy, sadly I already have one and she kinda kicks butt." Blake jumps down from the trees.

"Oh hi Y/n." She waves.

"Hey Blake! Long time no see." You say even though you talked to her literally last night.

"Well even though you don't have a partner, you wanna travel with us to help find the relics?" Yang asks.

"Why not? Better than being alone."
And the three of you travel to the temple to find...
