Devil Slayers in Rwby (Fairy Tail/Saint Seiya x Rwby)

The secene opens up at the cliffs after a brief recap of the previous episode... The scene comes back up with Prof. Ozpin watching and keeping track of the students on his scroll at the Beacon Ciff, overlooking the Emerald Forest. Glynda is seen to be walking up behind him with a tablet of her own.

"It would seem the last pair has now been formed, Prof. Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren, hm? Those two seem to work well together.. Even Mr Arc and Miss Nikos seem to be working well together. There's... a trio walking together? (looks towards Ozpin)..."

"I'm sure it will work out with them. They seemed to work be working well enough with each other."

Glynda nodded hesitantly.

"I... suppose so. I'm not sure I trust that Jaune fellow though. I don't care what his transcripts say, he doesn't look the least bit prepared for this kind of combat!,"

Ozpin said nothing and simply took a sip from his coffee mug as he watched the students.

"Those other duos seem to be working flawlessly with each other, particularly Mr Dragonblade and Mr Ayakashi. They seem as opposite as you can be for a duo, yet they stay work well together. The same can not be said for Miss Rose and Miss Schnee however... perhaps it was a mistake to put those two next to each other.,"Glynda said continuing as she brought up feeds of all of the students with a few taps on her tablet.

"Just give them some time, Glynda. I believe those two will work things out between themselves before too long.," Ozpin replied.

Glynda's expression changed to a concerned one.

"For both those girls sake, i do hope you are right this time, Professor...," Glynda said a little worried. "With their current pace, they should be arriving at the temple within a few minutes."

Glynda then turned back towards Ozpin.

"By the way, what DID you use as relics this year?,"Glynda asked.

Ozpin stayed silent, not answering for the moment.

"Professor Ozpin?,"She asked again.

Instead of answering, Ozpin is seen to be watching the feed on his scroll with a look of contemplating as it shows Weiss walking around to find her partner and Ruby is seen to be sitting up upon a tree branch. She looked as if she was in thought.

With Ruby....

The red hooded girl sat up on a tree branch in thought, the events of earlier replaying in her mind's eye. She sighed.

"Maybe... I was too harsh with Weiss earlier...," Ruby said in thought.

She quickly shook her head.

"No! That crabby girl deserved to get yelled at! That said... we are partners. She probably just doesn't know that you can't talk to everyone like they're beneath you.," Ruby reasoned.

She clenched her fists in determination.

"Right! I'll just have to make sure she knows that she can't talk to people like they're beneath her.,"Ruby told herself determined.

It was then that she heard a very familiar voice.

"Oh, Ruby~!," Weiss said from beneath her.

"Ugh, what do you want Weiss?," Ruby answered a little annoyed.

Weiss flinched back a bit. There was that tone again. It already wasn't going well, she could tell that Ruby was still annoyed with her. She cleared her throat and switched subjects, hoping to ease some of this girl's hostility towards her.

"I was just wondering... You do know where the temple is, right?," Weiss asked.

Ruby jumped down to the ground and looked at her.

"Why would you think I know? I'm just a child, remember?," Ruby replied skeptically.

"I simply thought it would be more effective if both of us looked for where we're supposed to go, alright?," Weiss said back.

The two girls walked for a bit without a word as they searched for where their destination might be. Unfortunately, they soon hit a clearing that confused Weiss. Ruby sits down on a boulder with her hands rubbing the bridge of her nose as she watched her partner walking back and forth in random directions.

"It's definitely this way. (she walks right before stopping and turning to walk to the left) No, it's this way then! It's...definitely this way, has to be!,"Weiss said as she was then seen to be pacing.

"Seriously Weiss, why can't you just admit that you have no idea where we are right now?,"Ruby said getting irritated again.

Weiss was stubborn and refused to admit that she was lost, so she came up with an excuse.

"Because I know exactly where we're going! We're going.... to.. the forest temple!," Weiss said in response.

Ruby sighs in frustration & annoyance as she slaps her forehead.

"Oh, stop it! You don't know where we're at either!," Weiss huffed.

"Well, at least.. i'm not a jerk about it and pretending like I know everything! Unlike... SOME people!,"Ruby said annoyed.

Weiss took offense to that.

"What's that supposed to mean?," She asked offended.

"Really Weiss? Fine! I'll tell you what it means in words YOU understand: You're a big stupid jerk & I hate you! Figure it out yourself, dumb jerk!," Ruby snapped back.

This surprised Weiss at how angry Ruby was. The girl just stomped ahead of her, not even looking back towards the heiress.

"Where are you going?,"Weiss asked.

"What's it matter to you? Stupid Heiress!,"Ruby said not even looking back towards her.

"You take that back!,"Weiss said annoyed now.

"I'll gladly do so... when you stop being so bossy!,"Ruby snapped back.

"Wha-? Bossy?! I am not bossy, don't say things like that!,"Weiss argued.

"Really, then why are you trying to order me around like a some helpless little kid? I'm not some kid, you know.,"Ruby said glaring back at Weiss.

"That's only because you keep acting like a child!,"Weiss spat back.

"I just told you Weiss..... DON'T EVER CALL ME A CHILD!," She snapped. "Further to the point, stop acting so perfect and that everyone's beneath you. 'Cause honestly... IT MAKES ME WANT TO VOMIT!"

"I'm. not. prefect! Yet, at least. But... I'm still leagues better than you.," Weiss said.

Ruby suddenly turned around and smacked Weiss, her eyes glaring darkly at the heiress.

"You don't even know me, ENTITLED JERK!," Ruby snapped as she then walked ahead of Weiss.

Weiss stood there, stunned at what Ruby just did to her. That girl should know better, but then... she thought about it.

"That look in her eyes... (flash of Ruby's eyes when she smacked Weiss just a moment ago) I-I've seen that look before.., Weiss thought as she slowly followed Ruby from a distance.

As they walked they never noticed the large black feather drop to the ground behind them.

At the forest temple.....

Yang & Blake emerge from the forest and step out into a clearing. The clearing reveals the circular stone temple with platforms holding up several black, white, gold, and silver objects.

"Think this is it?,"Yang asked.

Blake doesn't answer and just gives her partner a incredulous and deadpanned look as if to say: "Really, Yang? What do you think?". Yang sweatdrops at the look she received from Blake.

"Point.. Taken.," Yang replied sweatdropping.

Blake then heads down the hill with the blonde following her. They walk across the floor to see some familiar shapes, but with some of the shapes missing.

"Chess... Pieces?," Blake asked confused as she looks at a black king piece.

Yang looks at the scene in thought.

"Looks like we weren't the first ones here, some of them are missing.,"Yang said.

"Guess I should pick one then, huh?,"Blake said.

Yang nodded. The two then notice, a familiar looking faunus. Yang recognized him, it was the boy with the spiky flame colored hair and the black horns. The boy next to him neither Yang or Blake recognized. The black haired boy just walked by them and leaned against a nearby tree with his arms folded.

"How about a white rook, Reaper?,"The flame haired boy asked.

The black haired teen chuckled.

"Whichever is fine by me, flame hair.,"the black haired boy replied.

The flame haired teen then grabbed a pair of white rook pieces before tossing one to the black haired teen who caught it in his hand. As the the teen passed by the two girls, he nodded towards Yang as if he was acknowledging her. He proceeded to then walk to the tree to stand by the black haired teen, who had matching horns and a scaly tail. The two other teens stood there with their arms folded, it was as if they were waiting for someone... Yang was curious about it, but she was sure that herself & Blake would find out very shortly.

With Jaune & Pyrrha...

Our resident blonde knight and his partner, Pyrrha Nikos, are then seen to be standing at the entrance of a dark cave. The drawings above it involved armed men fighting off some giant beasts. It seemed a bit ominous, but Pyrrha decided to trust her partner.

"You think this is it, Pyrrha?," the blonde asked.

The scene then cuts to the two walking inside of the aformentioned cave.

"Um... I don't think this is it, Jaune...," Pyrrha said concerned.

Jaune sighed before speaking.

"Pyrrha, I made the torch. Could you at least humor me for.. i don't know, like five more feet please?," Jaune replied.

Pyrrha smiled at him and nodded.

"Sure Jaune. I trust you.," She replied.

Jaune smiled back at her.

"Thanks, Pyrrha. I was kind of wondering about something though...,"Jaune answered as they continued to walk.

The red head looked at him with a smile.

"Sure. What's on your mind, Jaune?," She answered.

Jaune smiled as he sighed internally.

"Why do you still trust me? I mean... I'm pretty clueless about things like Auras and Semblances, even why we fight the Grimm... All things most aspiring huntsmen and huntresses should know like the back of their hand already. Yet... you still choose to trust me. What I want to know is... why do you?," Jaune asked.

Pyrrha adopted a position of thinking as she answered her partner's inquiry.

"That's a good question.... I guess the simple answer is: I believe in you, Jaune. I didn't understand why, at first and... i'm still not sure why I do but... I get the feeling that if I trust you, things will work out somehow. And.. I'd like to think you're capable of so much more than you think. At least.., that's what I believe anyways.," Pyrrha answered him.

This left Jaune rather speechless, he'd never had anyone place so much faith & trust in him before. Especially considering that himself and Pyrrha hadn't even known each other for a full 48 hours yet! But... somehow, hearing his partner believe in him to the extent that she did: It made him feel like he really could live up to her expectations of him.

"Wow Pyrrha..., um... Thanks for saying that.,"Jaune replied grinning at her.

He rubbed the back of his head a little embarrassed, but happy that someone other than his mother and elder sister believed in him.

"You're welcome Jaune. We're partners, after all. What kind of partner would I be if I didn't believe in your ability and potential?,"She replied with a smile.

Jaune and Pyrrha continue to walk forward, when the blonde trips over something. As a result, the torch he had in his hand goes flying into a puddle of water and is extinguished shortly after. This left the duo in the dark, with only their eyes visible.

Jaune is heard to be grumbling as Pyrrha speaks up.

"Do... you feel that, Jaune?,"Pyrrha asked.

"Soul crushing regret?," Jaune asked sarcastically joking.

"No.. something is here, and.. it's warm.,"Pyrrha said a little cautious.

Jaune was a little worried about the cryptic warning from his partner. He said nothing as the two prepared themselves for whatever was inside the cave with them, while trying to navigate through the darkened passage.

Back at the temple.....

Yang is seen to be approaching the stand as she studies a golden knight chess piece. She immediately picks it up and shows it to her partner.

"Hmm... how about a cute little pony?,"Yang asked.

"Sure.,"Blake said as she smirks towards her partner.

The girls then walk towards each other now at the center of the stone floor.

"That wasn't too hard!," Yang said with a grin.

Blake nodded.

"Well, it's not like this place is too hard to find.," Blake replied.

The two girls share a smile before looking in the distance and spying another peculiar pair. Yang recognized both members as Kouga & Hon'oo, two of the faunus teens who stayed with Ruby during her first day at Beacon Academy. The blonde signaled to her partner to make room for them, which Blake obliged. The spiky red haired faunus and the blue haired faunus each walked to where Yang & Blake were just moments before.

"What do you think, Hon'oo?,"Kouga asked.

"Hmm... well, seeing as there are only two silver pieces left... I say we go with the silver ones.,"She said.

Kouga nodded and grabbed two silver rook pieces, tossing one towards his partner, while keeping the other one. The pair walked towards Max and Kazuma, sitting down on the grass next to them. From what it looked like to Yang, the four by the tree would seem to be one team due to them all having the same color chess piece relics.

Author's note: If you noticed Hon'oo having two different hair colors, this is only because I couldn't remember what hair color that I gave her in the previous two chapters lol. my bad.

Not even a moment later, two more Faunus came into the clearing. Yang recognized one of them, due to her fuchsia colored hair and black horns with fuchsia highlights. The other boy, neither her or Blake recognized. But Yang looked between this other boy and Hon'oo, they both had the same eyes and their horns were the same.

"They must be related... Siblings or.. cousins, perhaps?," Yang internally thought.

The aforementioned duo grabbed a pair of white bishop pieces before walking over and taking a seat on the grass. This was getting odd. It was like this whole group was waiting for some one. Looking towards the stands, Blake noticed that there were... three bishop pieces left? That was strange... Did someone plan for there to be a 5 man team?

As soon as she thought this, a trio of teens came into the clearing. Blake and Yang both noticed something, there seemed to be a theme with these teens coming through the forest and collecting the relics. All of them had similar animal traits to each other: the horns and the tails. The other thing was... all of them had some sort of crystal either hung around their neck, worn as a ring on their finger, hung around their wrist as a bracelet, used as a hairpin to tie their hair, or hung from their ear as if part of an ear ring. The aforementioned trio of teens grabbed the three remaining White bishop pieces, which meant that there was a 5 man team in Beacon. Like the others, they joined them and sat upon the grass. Was.. everyone waiting for something... or someone?

"This is getting a bit strange. Are they purposely waiting for whoever else gets here?,"Blake asked Yang.

The blonde thought about that possibility and nodded, it wasn't completely out of the question. But.. why would they do that? The blonde brawler and the amber eyed girl would find out that answer very shortly.

with Jaune & Pyrrha...

Back with the blonde knight and the red haired gladiator, they continued onward through the cave. They kept walking until they saw a large glowing spot of gold in front of them. It lit up the blonde knight's excited facial expression.

"That's the relic! I knew we'd find it eventually!," Jaune said excited.

Pyrrha suddenly got a very bad feeling about their current situation. That seemed too easy for them to find the relic in a place like this. She had a sinking feeling that this was not what they were looking for.

"Um... Jaune, I don't know about that...,"Pyrrha said worried.

Jaune is seen to be slowly reaching out to grab it, but it moves away from his swipe.

"Hey! Bad relic! Come... here!," Jaune said swiping at it several times before jumping onto something to grab the relic. "Got it! Hey, help me take it down Pyrrha!"

Pyrrha is seen to be backing away slowly as she's clearly nervous about something.

"Um... Jaune? That's.. not what you think it is.,"Pyrrha said worried.

He raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?," He asked clueless.

Jaune's catch then lowers itself, leaving him vulnerable and exposed to the now glowing red lines and burning eyes of a Death Stalker. Jaune gulps in nervousness. He'd really messed up this time.

"Hoooh boy... That's.. not a relic!," He said now terrified of what was going to happen to him.

In that moment, only one thought raced through his mind: "Someone, help!"

Nearby at the temple....

Jaune's scream was heard all the way back at the forest temple. This gained the attention of both Yang and Blake as they turned towards the source of the noise.

"Did you hear that, Blake? Sounds like someone's in trouble!,"Yang said concerned.

Blake doesn't answer as she is looking into the sky, like something is going to come from the sky above them.

Back with Jaune and Pyrrha....

Pyrrha is seen to be rushing out of the entrance to the cave, just seconds before the Death Stalker crashes through it. The Grimm waved its large pincers and roared as it chased after Pyrrha, with a screaming Jaune hanging onto its tail for dear life.

"Heeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllpppppppp!!!!!!!!! Whoa-ah-ah-ah-ah! Why?! Pyrrha! He-e-e-elp! Pyrrha, this is not the relic! It's not! Sorry that I didn't heed your warning, just he-e-e-eeeeee-elp meeeeee!!!! Do something, please!!!," Jaune screamed in panic as he is continually shaken around.

Pyrrha is seen to be wielding her weapon, Milo in front of the beast as she tlaked to him.

"Jaune! Whatever you do, don't let-" Pyrrha said but never finished.

She watches in dismay and worry as the scorpion Grimm hurls its tail back and launches a still-screaming Jaune across the forest.

"Go...," She finished her thought in dismay as she watched Jaune speed through the forest like a rocket as he was still screaming.

She sighed and turned back to the Grimm who still snapped its giant claws at her. She smiles in embarrassment and dashes away from the Grimm in a burst of speed through some green leaves. Pyrrha chased after her partner, but she had to first get away from this giant rampaging Grimm. That would be easier said than done however.

Back at the temple...

Blake is still seen to be looking up into the sky at something, but Yang is still too focused on the forest to notice.

"Blake, did you hear that? What do you think we should do?" Yang asked turning to her partner.

It is then that the faint voice of Ruby is heard as she is seen to be rapidly approaching them from the sky above.

"Heads uuuuuuuup!"Ruby says as she nears them.

She is seen to be flying towards them before presumably crashing into them as a giant thud with the screen shaking was seen.

Flashback: 5 minutes earlier...

Ruby and Weiss were still trying to find their way to where they needed to go, but they were getting nowhere as they kept walking in circles. The silver eyed girl spotted the same tree they marked with a slash of her scythe as when they first walked from the spot they were in.

"Umm... wasn't that the tree we just.. y' know.. marked earlier?," Ruby asked confused.

Now Weiss was frustrated as she realized they were walking in circles now.

"Ugh, yeah i know! How is this happening right now?! It should have been a straight path!,"Weiss complained.

Ruby shrugged.

"Hey, I don't like it anymore than you do Weiss. We're going in circles.,"Ruby said.

Weiss looked back towards Ruby, frustrated.

"Well then perhaps you can come up with a better idea?!,"Weiss angrily asked.

Ruby put up her hands defensively as she tried calming Weiss down. "Look Weiss, If you're still mad about how I "blew up" at you earlier, i'm sorry. But let's try and work together to figure something out.,"Ruby said.

Weiss just looked away. Ruby sighed in annoyance. It wasn't going to be easy working with Weiss, was it? Ruby put her hand towards her chin as she started thinking.

"Well.. let's think about this... If only there was a faster way to travel towards the forest temple... a way to see above everything...,"Ruby said in thought.

Weiss raised an eyebrow at this.

"A way to see above everything? Sorry to say this, but we don't have a way of doing that!," Weiss argued.

Ruby then spotted a large black feather on the ground. That gave her an idea, it was crazy, but it may just work.

"Maybe we do and we just haven't thought of it yet.,"Ruby said grinning.

Weiss raised an eyebrow at Ruby's expression.

"I have an idea, Weiss. And I think it may just solve our little dilemma.,"Ruby said with a grin.

"You do?,"Weiss asked skeptical before she saw the look on Ruby's face.

She was getting a bad feeling about this.

"Just what are you planning exactly?,"Weiss asked curious.

Ruby just grinned at her partner.

"Oh, you'll see."Ruby replied.

Unfortunately, Weiss had no idea of knowing just how crazy Ruby's "idea" actually was...

*End Flashback*

Present Time: with Ruby and Weiss...

Ruby and Weiss are seen to be hanging onto something large, dark, and very feathery as evidenced by the wind howling past them, blowing them sideways.

"When you said you had an idea of how to fix our dilemma, I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS!"Weiss shouted upset. "I told you this was a terrible idea!"

Ruby just waved it off.

"Ah, don't be such a spoilsport Weiss! We'll be fine, promise!,"Ruby said laughing it off. "Stop worrying!"

"I'm so far BEYOND worrying!," Weiss replied appalled at how Ruby could just laugh off their current situation like it was nothing.

"In a good way?," Ruby asked hopeful.

"No, you dunce! In a bad way, a very bad way!,"Weiss snapped at Ruby.

"Well.. We could just jump y' know?," Ruby replied matter of factly.

Weiss widened her eyes in shock. This girl wasn't normal, who in the world comes up with an answer like that?

"What, are you INSANE?! We could die from a fall like that!,"Weiss replied.

Unfortunately, Weiss is met with silence as Ruby has already jumped off their ride in the sky.

"Ruby? Ruby? Where are... Oh! that insufferable little red-!,"Weiss said angered as she was left hanging onto a giant nevermore in the sky that served as their ride.

Back down on the ground....

Blake is still seen to be looking skyward as she then points for Yang to do the same.

"Blake? Did you hear that, what should we do?,"Yang asked trying to get her partner's attention.

Off to the side, Kouga sees what is about to happen and dashed towards the two.

"Move, Yang! Quick!," Kouga said suddenly appearing between the two.

Yang, now noticing Kouga promptly does so and steps back.

Kouga leaps up and catches Ruby in a bridal fashion before she can hit the ground. But, Ruby has no time to notice as Jaune is seen speeding towards them before slamming into the pair. Jaune is flung into the air and into a tree, while Kouga and Ruby are sent slamming into the base of a tree. Blake couldn't help but to wince in sympathy, knowing Kouga's tail was probably going to hurt after that.

Dizziness briefly takes over Ruby as her eyes are in swirls with cutesy beowolves circling around her head. She shakes it off and notices Kouga had caught her. The girl's eyes widened in worry.

"Huh? Oh my Oum! Kouga, are you okay?!,"Ruby asked worried.

Kouga briefly coughed before opening his eyes and smiling at the girl.

"Y-Yeah, ow- wowee! I'm just glad you weren't seriously hurt by that.,"Kouga said still in a bit of pain.

Ruby blushed slightly as she smiled towards the spiky haired faunus teen.

"Oh w-well uhm... t-thank you k-kouga...,"Ruby said a bit shyly and blushing slightly. "But uh.. are you sure you're alright?"

He nodded before getting up and putting her down.

"Yeah, i'm okay. My tail hurts a bit after that, but nothing I can't manage on my own.," Kouga said grinning.

"Hey there, Ruby.," A voice said.

The two looked up and saw Jaune hanging upside down in a tree.

"Jaune? What are you doing up there?,"Ruby asked.

"Oh, y' know just dropping in.," he said.

"Sorry Jaune, I would've helped you had I noticed earlier.,"

Kouga replied.

"Nah, it's cool. You were checking on Ruby. I figured you were making sure she was alright first.",Jaune answered.

The other faunus teens came over, including Max and Mist.

"That said... Could you guys uh.. ya know... help me down? I'm kinda stuck.",Jaune said.

Max chuckled as he spoke up.

"Sure thing, Jaune. Kaz, Shoryu, mind helping me get him down from there?," Max said.

"No problem.," Shoryu said.

"If we must.," Kazuma said.

While that was happening, the camera cuts back to Yang and Blake with the amber eyed girl voicing her confusion.

"Yang, did... your sister just.. fall from the sky?," Blake asked confused.

"I.."Yang tried answering but again was interrupted.

Before she can continue, several crashing noises are heard in the forest ahead of them, and an Ursa comes out, claws swiping, just as a pink blast of energy hits it in the back and it crashes to the ground, depositing its rider.

"YEE-HAAWW!!!,"Nora cried in glee.

The fun didn't last however as The ursa fell over dead after a pink blast had killed the beast. The orange haired girl was understandably disappointed as she dashed all over to see if the creature was still alive. sadly, to no avail.

"Awww.. shucks, it's broken.,"Nora said dashing all over its body to observe the carcass.

Ren comes up behind her, looking tired.

"Nora.... please, don't. ever. do that again.," Ren replied tired."Nora?"

He looks up again and notices by the pink dotted outline of where his partner should be that Nora has run off again, and looks around frantically. Nora was seen to be in the temple and observing a golden rook relic.

"Oooohh...,"Nora says in excitement as she suddenly grabs it.

An animation of a background with stars and her hammer symbol plays in the pink background as she dances and sings with the chess piece.

"I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle~!,"Nora sang dancing with the chess piece.

Ren sees her and calls for her.

"Nora!,"Ren called.

Nora noticed Ren was calling for her and stops dancing.

"Coming, Ren!,"Nora said.

She salutes with the relic dropping from her head and into her hand as she then zips back to Ren's side.

"Did that girl just ride in on top of an ursa?," Blake asked puzzled.

"Well I..."Yang said trying to answer before she is again interrupted by something.

This time, she's interrupted by a screech to her right. Pyrrha is seen to be running away from a Death Stalker as it uprooted entire trees in its furious chase after the girl. The red head is seen to just barely dodge a swipe from the scorpion Grimm and proceeded to keep running from it.

"Jaune!", Pyrrha cried out.

Jaune was now back on the ground as he sees his partner in trouble.

"Pyrrha!", he cried reaching towards her.

Ruby noticed the monster below them chasing after Pyrrha.

"Whoa!" she said.

Jaune turned and whined as if he wanted Ruby to help his partner.

"Ruby!," Jaune said.

Ruby nodded and ran forward before Yang stopped her upon seeing the silver eyed girl was okay.

"Ruby!", Yang said.

The two sister raise their arms as if they're going to give each other a hug when Nora pops in between them , knocking the two off balance.

"Nora!", she said surprising the sisters.

The Scorpion Grimm continued to chase after Pyrrha as she runs to try and escape the beast.

"Did... she just run all the way here with a Death Stalker on her tail?," Blake asked confused again.

Yang is seen to be shaking in anger as she is getting annoyed by all of the random things that keep happening around her. She growled as her eyes flashed red before she erupted in a small burst of fire.

"I can't take it anymore! Can everyone just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again?!,"Yang said annoyed.

The ticking of a clock counts down the two seconds of Yang cooling down, Ren running over to a ditzy Nora, and Blake and Ruby looking up. The silver eyed girl then tugs onto Yang's sleeve and points towards the sky.

"Umm... Yang?,"Ruby said directing her sister to look up.

Up above, Weiss is revealed to be hanging on a talon the size of her entire body that belongs to a gigantic Nevermore.

Weiss calls down to Ruby.

"Ruby, how could you leave me?!," Weiss called to her partner.

"Well, i did say "Jump"!," Ruby said shouting as she cupped her hands around her mouth.

"She's going to fall.,"Blake said.

"Ah, she'll be fine."Ruby replied.

"Um.. She's falling.," Toshiro said.

As Jaune sees Weiss falling, he grins thinking he has a chance to shine for once. He climbs up the tree again, runs off of the branch to jump and catch the falling girl bridal style in a slowed down moment. Weiss widens her eyes in surprise.

"Just... dropping in?," Jaune says grinning at Weiss.

Weiss is seen to be speechless and realizes why as he looks down, realizing that he probably jumped to high and too soon.

"Oh, gosh.," Jaune said in realization.

The two hang onto each other, wide eyed, as their weapons spin in the air behind them as they plummet towards the ground. Kazuma sighed in annoyance as he activated his black flames under his feet to fly up and catch Weiss before she fell to the ground. The Faunus stretched his arms out and caught the girl in a bridal like fashion, hovering in the air before slowly descending to the ground.

"Oh, noooooooo- Oomph!,"Jaune said in pain as he hit the ground face first.

"Hmph, fool! You really need to watch your surroundings next time.,"Kazuma said carrying Weiss.

"Ow!! My back...,"Jaune said in a pained cry on the ground.

"My hero...,"Weiss said mockingly before she noticed that she was being carried by a faunus.

She blushed angrily as they descended to the ground.

"Unhand me, you!,"Weiss screeched.

Kazuma grinned darkly and did exactly as she asked, he dropped her! This caused Weiss to drop to the ground hard. Getting up angrily, she marched over to the horned faunus.

"You! What is the meaning of just dropping me like that?!,"Weiss asked angered.

"I don't see the problem here. I just did what you asked me to. Not my fault you hit the ground in the manner that you did. Isn't that right, priiiiiinnnncesss~?,"Kazuma said smirking.

Weiss didn't say anything more as she just glared at the faunus angrily, to which Kazuma was seen smirking back at her rather smugly. Mist then came in between the two as they had no time to argue right now.

"Alright, that's enough you two!,"Mist said glaring at both of them.

Kazuma wisely backed off because he knew the wrath of a female faunus similar in appearance to him. Weiss however didn't get the message.

"And why should I listen to-"Weiss started but stepped back in slight fear of the glare she received from Mist.

"Or you'll what, miss Schnee heiress? Tell me, because I'd really love to know.,"Mist said glaring at her with her pupils going into reptilian like slits.

Weiss backed off then, wisely choosing not to argue further. She couldn't put her finger on it, but there was something rather ominous about these faunus teens. They weren't "normal", that's for sure.

The Death Stalker was still chasing and hunting Pyrrha when she manages to dodge it and land on her side at the feet of the group of teens.

"Great, the gang's all here. Now we can all die together!,"Yang said sarcastically.

"Not if I have anything to say about it!,"Ruby said rushing forward with her Crescent Rose.

Kouga cried out to warn her.

"Ruby, wait!"Kouga tried saying in warning.

His warning fell on deaf ears as Ruby did exactly what he was trying to warn her against doing.

"Argh! Guess I gotta go after her then.,"Kouga said as he rushed after Ruby.

Ruby screams as she fires at at the Death Stalker and charges towards it. When the two meet however, the girl is swiped away by the Grimm and knocked back. The girl gets up slowly after she's knocked back by the Grimm.

"D-Do-Don't worry! Totally fine!," Ruby said as she turns back towards the monster.

She shoots at its skull, sheathing her scythe and runs away from the monster as it chases after her.

"Ruby!,"Yang cried in worry as she runs forward.

The other teens follow the blonde haired Brawler as she chased after her sister.

Ruby runs towards Yang, but the Nevermore from earlier is heard cawing above them. The Grimm bird flaps its wing and releases a barrage of sharpened feathers with points that catch onto Ruby's cape, pining her in place. The feather barrage also prevents Yang from reaching her sister. As if she wasn't in enough trouble, the Death Stalker approached Ruby from behind with its stinger. It raised it's stinger above the scared girl and thrust it down towards the helpless Ruby.

Yang reaches out and cries in worry for her sister.

"Ruby!,"Yang cried in vain.

Two whit blurs whiz by the girl as the stinger is just about to pierce Ruby, making the camera go black. Ruby opens her eyes to see that Kouga was blocking the stinger with... his bare hand?! He was holding it back, just as there was a sound of ice surrounding the stinger, encasing it Ice dust.

"K-Kouga?! and Weiss?!," Ruby said surprised.

Kouga smiled at the girl.

"Are you alright, Ruby?,"He asked.

Ruby nodded a little surprised that Kouga and Weiss had saved her. She lowers her hands from the futile position above her head as she looks at her saviors.

Weiss continued to berate Ruby as she removed her rapier from the ice.

"You are so childish!And dim-witted, and hyperactive, and don't even get me started on your fighting style. And I suppose I can be a bit... difficult... but if we're going to do this, we're going to have to do this together. So if you quit trying to show off, I'll be... nicer.,"Weiss said.

Kouga smiled, he knew Weiss wasn't a bad person. She just needed some.. convincing by seeing Ruby try her best out there.

"I wasn't trying to show off, Weiss. I.. just wanted you to know that I can do this. I can handle slaying monsters.,"Ruby said.

"You're fine.,"Weiss said as she walked away.

Kouga was seen to be helping Ruby to her feet as she looked at him.

"I think what Weiss was trying to say was to not be so reckless, Ruby. But please.. don't do something like that again... You very nearly sent the rest of us into hysterics.,"Kouga said.

Ruby looked down briefly before she looked at Kouga again.

"Okay... I'll try and be more careful next time Kouga.,"Ruby said.

Kouga lightly flicked her on the forehead after, illiciting a slight cry of pain from the girl.

"Ow! Kouga...,"Ruby whined in pain.

"That was for being reckless. But you'll do better next time, right?,"Kouga said grinning.

Ruby let a small smile creep onto her face as she looked at the faunus teen.

"Y-yeah..,"She said in response.

"Good. I think someone else wants to see that your okay.,"Kouga said stepping aside.

Yang rushed up to Ruby and gave her a bone crushing hug, which the girl grunts upon receiving.

"I'm so glad you're okay!,"Yang said hugging her sister.

"Yang... please... need... air..,"Ruby croaked.

Yang let go of her sister, recognizing that she needed to breathe.

"Oh, sorry Rubes.,"Yang said in apology.

The two look up and see that the Nevermore is still flying above them and roaring at them.

Jaune then spoke up.

"Umm.. Guys, that thing's circling back! What are we going to do now?,"Jaune asked.

Weiss spoke at that moment.

"I don't see the point in dilly dallying any longer. Our objective is right in front of us,"Weiss said.

"She's right, our mission is to grab the artifacts and head back to the Beacon Cliffs. I'd say we've accomplished that. (she briefly nods towards Weiss) There's no real reason to fight those things anyways.,"Yang added.

Jaune nodded in agreement.

"Run and live... That's an idea I can get behind!,"Jaune said in agreement.

Ruby goes over and grabs a couple of gold knight pieces, while Jaune grabs a golden 2 golden rooks. The teens smile at each other and nod. The scorpion Grimm continues to fight its ice cage, cracking said ice in the process.

"Time we left already!,"Ren said.

"Right, let's go guys!,"Ruby nodded and waved towards the others as the group follows her lead.

The faunus teens follow suit as the go with the two teams of four.

Short time skip later...

An overhead shot shows that the group is heading out of the forest and into another abandoned series of structures as the Nevermore follows them from the air. They spread out when it passes above, concealing themselves behind some of the stone blocks with their allies as it perches on a high column and caws.

The other group of teens, much to Ruby and friends surprise runs towards the Grimm approaching them.

"What are you doing?!,"Weiss says appalled.

Well that was before Mist angrily stomped on the ground and fired a large beam like breath attack from her mouth.

"Clearing the way. Because these things are..ANNOYING!!!!,"Mist said releasing a large crimson colored beam from her mouth.

The beam incinerated the Grimm ahead of them and left a large trench leading up to the bridge, leaving Ruby and the others in shock and disbelief.

"Remind me... to never get on Mist's bad side..,"Yang said sweatdropping.

"Uh... yeah, no kidding.,"Weiss said equally as shocked.

More Grimm decided to approach them with the two teams of Faunus deciding to fight them off. Max looked back to Yang and the others.

"Yang!,"Max said.

The blonde haired brawler looked back at him.

"Yeah?,"Yang asked.

"You and the others take care of 'ol scorpio over there and that overgrown chicken up there! We'll handle these small fry down here!,"Max said.

Yang was about to ask if they needed help, but considering what she saw from mist just a little bit before she doubted they really need their help all that much. She nodded and let the others know what max and the others were doing.

Ruby looked towards them.

The scene shifted towards the faunus, who were firing off different techniques and using their advanced martial arts to decimate the Grimm.

"LIGHTNING DRAGON HALBERD!"

A weapon made of pure lightning was launched towards the Grimm, shaking the ground and scorching the targeted area with Lightning. The camera switched perspectives to Gweyn and Toshiro. Gweyn used shadow to attack the Grimm, While Toshiro hardened his body into metal and attack in sync with Gweyn.

"SHADOW DRAGON DEATH SPIKES!"

"ADAMANTINE DRAGON STEEL SWORD!"

Gweyn slammed her hand to the earth as shadows traveled through the ground. The unsuspecting Grimm were trapped by their own shadow and then impaled soon after. Toshiro flattened his hand until a silver aura surrounded it, soon after his hand turned into a blade with chain links attached to it. With his weapon, Toshiro was able to cut through the Grimm like a knife going through butter.

Shoryu was freezing his enemies by touching them before his partner, mist would finish them off.

"ICE DRAGON... CHILLING WINDS!"

"CRIMSON FANG...PHOENIX BARRAGE!"

Mist's fist lit on fire as if they are the sun itself. She thrust her fist forward in a fiery flurry that burned the Grimm to ashes. She also used her tail to burn any Grimm stupid enough to sneak behind her.

Over with Max and Kazuma, it was a display of White and Black flames being spews forth and into any Grimm that approached them.

"NOVA FANG.. WHITE FLAME THUNDERBOLT!"

Max thrust his fist forward as several lines that looked like lasers assaulted the Grimm at speeds they were helpless against. He also mixed in some kicks alongside his fists just to give the monsters something else to worry about.

Kazuma used his black flames to keep the monsters at bay as he used an attack from earlier.

"REAPER FANG BLACK GEYSER!"

Several pillars of black flame erupted from the ground, catching the Grimm off guard and incinerating them instantly. Like his partner, Kazuma mixed his kicks into his attacks along with a few tails swipes to go with the flurry of fist attacks he threw out towards the Grimm.

Kouga looked like he was tracing something, a clear white aura shining around him. When he was finished, he thrust his fist forward.

"STAR DRAGON PLASMIC COMET FIST!"

The light that shine from his fist spread out into laser that had the outline of fists, which he threw towards the Grimm. He held his hand open palmed before closing it as another blinding light shined from his fist.

"STAR FANG... FLASH FIST!"

Kouga was seen dashing through several Grimm with light streaking from his fist as he charged right through them. He incorporated several tail swipes and even some well timed kicks to further pummel Grimm.

Hon'oo used her water based attacks to drown or even choke some of the Grimm before she moved onto some of her more heavy attacks. Tail swipes and kicks were thrown out in succession with her fists that went forward into the monsters.

"SEA DRAGON... BATTERING RAIN: CYCLONE FIST!"

Hon'oo sent her fists skyward before a torrent of them came raining down upon the Grimm. The monsters had no time to approach her because they were already getting hit by the torrent of fists covered in water being sent their way. The faunus girl spread her arms wide as if he was shooting a bow and arrow. Water pooling near the point of contact as an enormous bow and arrow of water formed.

"SEA FANG.. TSUNAMI BOW ARROW!"

When she released the arrow a giant pool of water shot forward, demolishing not only the Grimm, but it tore through the forest. It actually ended up helping out JNPR as it knocked the Scorpion Grimm they fought off balance.

With the others....

After Blake had rejoined her team in taking on the giant Nevermore, she spoke.

"It's tougher than it looks!" Blake said.

Yang is seen to be readying her Gauntlets as she punched her fists together.

"Then let's give it everything we got! (looks to their faunus friends) Like those guys are doing over there!,"Yang said.

The girls briefly look over and see the several lights of fire and a giant stream of water that tore through the forest from where Max and the others were. The girls nod and go to engage the Nevermore once again.

As the Nevermore is approaches Ruby, Blake, Weiss, and Yang set their weapons to fire a barrage of blasts at the bird. The giant bird either dodges the blasts or takes them harmlessly, until it crashes through the columns and platform. The girls leap from one section of falling stone to the next until they reach the higher bridge on top, just below the cliffs.

"Ugh, none of this is even working!," Weiss said frustrated.

Ruby is seen to be watching Blake whip over to another section of the area while Yang is firing round after flaming round at the Grimm.

" I have a plan! Cover me!,"Ruby said as she blasts her way into the fray.

Weiss just sighs and raised her rapier before chasing after Ruby.

With Team JNPR....

The Death Stalker is still seen to be battling the team of four. The teens trying to figure out a way to slow it down. That's when Jaune hears... water? He looks and sees a giant stream of water coming in their direction.

"Guys, move!,"Jaune orders.

The others nod and quickly jump out of the way. Soon after the giant stream of water knocked the Grimm off balance and left it reeling just as the teens come back to the ground.

"It's reeling, now guys!,"Jaune said.

The teens all rush towards it.The Death Stalker aims a claw at Pyrrha, but she deflects it with her Akoúo shield and slashes it with her blade. The scorpion recoils and swipes at her with its other claw, but Jaune is there to deflect it with , knocking it back so Pyrrha can leap over and attack its face. Ren runs up firing and gets on the stinger when it tries to hit him, shooting at the base between it and the tail while Nora fires more grenades at the attacking claws. Pyrrha hurls her javelin straight into one of the monster's ten eyes, making it throw Ren to the side.

"Ren!"Nora cried in worry.

Ren slammed into the side of rock, falling hard to the ground and not getting back up. Jaune managed to stand after getting knocked down and he noticed that the stinger hung rather limply.

"That water attack... It must've weakened it! That's it!,"Jaune thought.

He looked to his partner, Pyrrha Nikos. He just hoped this idea would work.

"Pyrrha, the stinger's limp! Cut it off!,"Jaune said.

Pyrrha nodded.

"On it!,"She said.

She raises the shield and hurls it like a disc, slicing the stinger off and causing it to fall into the Death Stalker's head as Pyrrha retrieves her rebounding shield.

Jaune looked towards Nora.

"Nora, nail it!,"He said calling to his future teammate.

The girl noded as she grinned. She charged forward before jumping onto Pyrrha"s shield. Pyrrha leaps as Nora angled the blast from her hammer down to give her the lift she need before she barreled down with her hammer.

"Heads up!,"She said.

The girl barrels down with her hammer, smiling the whole way until her hammer's head hits the stinger. The stinger is driven through the beast's skull and crushes the bridge underneath it. Jaune and Pyrrha leap over the monster to land behind it, safely. Nora uses her weapon's grenade launcher to blast up and away behind them, as they watch the monster fall to its demise. Jaune then lays on his back, Nora lands on her bottom, Pyrrha manages a crouched pose, and Ren simply walks over to them, panting and groaning until he just collapses on the ground next to them. The other three aside from, Ren, get up and watch as the Nevermore is peppered with Firepower. They are then joined by the other two Faunus groups, who now watch the all girl team.

With Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang...

Yang is still burning through her ammo on the beast, landing a blow at its face and causing it to head right towards her, but she leaps for its open maw and forces the beak wide as she attacks. She is screaming and firing with each syllable said.

"I! Hope! You're! Hung-! ...-gry! You! Stupid! Bird!,"Yang says screaming.

The blonde looks behind her and jumps back safely onto a ruin, making the Giant bird Grimm crash into the cliff side. Despite Yang's best attempts, the Nevermore recovers quickly. But, she smiles as she spies Ruby and Blake on the broken columns with Weiss rushing towards the battle to help her future teammates. Yang passes her while the Nevermore starts to fly back up, but Weiss hops over to the ruin it's lifting off of and freezes the tip of its feathery tail to the ground, leaving it stuck in the same spot despite its flapping. Weiss back-flips into a snowflake-circle, jumps and lands on the other side, running towards the group. Blake fires the pistol portion of Gambol Shroud over to Yang, and the two tighten it between the columns so Ruby can jump on the center with Crescent Rose and bend it back into Weiss' black glyph, right next to the caster.

"Of course you'd come up with this crazy of a plan.,"Weiss said sighing but also lightly chuckling in amusement.

Ruby looked to her partner.

"Well you know, ha ha! Can you make the shot?",Ruby answered.

"Hmm! Can I!,"Weiss said confidently.

a silent second passes.

"Can't?,"Ruby asked.

"Wha- Of course I can!,"Weiss said lightly offended. "Just make it count, okay?"

Ruby smiled towards her partner.

"You got it, Weiss!,"Ruby answered grinning.

Ruby looked forward and pumped Crescent Rose as Weiss turns the circle from black to red and releases Ruby at such a speed that the ground behind her launch cracks, rose petals flying from her ascent. With each new shot, she gets closer and closer to the trapped Grimm until her scythe catches the Nevermore's neck in its blade and causes them both to fall to the cliff wall. Weiss raises her sword and creates a series of white circles up the wall, which Ruby dashes through by firing the entire way up. Yang, Blake, and an exhausted Weiss watch her climb up with the bird in her grasp until, both warrior and monster crying out, Ruby reaches the top of the cliff, circles up, fires one last shot, and rends the Nevermore's head from its shoulders in a shower of petals.

Kouga smiled as he and the other teens watched on in amazement.

"Heh, not bad Ruby. Not bad at all.,"Kouga said.

"I'll say, I think those girls will make a great team.,"Mist added.

"Yeah, I think you're right about that sis.,"Max said.

Ruby lands beside the severed head as the body of the giant Nevermore falls lifeless to the ruins and crevice below while the girls and, farther away, Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora, and Ren watch in amazement.

"Wow...,"Jaune said in awe.

"Well.. that was a thing!,"Yang said.

"It sure was.,"Blake said.

Ruby, her cape and petals flowing with the wind, looks down to her friends as they peer up towards her.

Ruby continues to smile as the faint sounds of an audience clapping are heard, growing louder and louder as a familiar voice is heard.

Time Skip: Beacon Academy Auditorium

Back at Beacon Academy the sounds of clapping and applause were heard and growing louder as the familiar voice of Ozpin is then heard addressing the quartet of teen boys up on the stage. The screen of the auditorium shows each of their profiles as the boys are lined up for the applauding audience to see as Ozpin continues.

"Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark. The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, the four of you are to work toether as Team CRDL, led by.... Cardin Winchester!,"Ozpin finished as the boys bowed slightly before walking off of the stage for the next team.

The screen then brings up the profiles of Max, Kazuma, Kouga, and Hon'oo as they walked forward and onto the stage.

"Max Dragonblade. Kazuma Ayakashi. Kouga Dragonblade. and Hon'oo Tokyoheim. You four found and retrieved the silver rook pieces, well done. From today forward, you four will work together as Team MKKH, led by... Max Dragonblade!,"Ozpin said.

Mist smirked.

"Knew it.,"She said.

"Was there really ever any doubt?,"Shoryu asked.

Ruby smiled seeing four of her new friends as a team.

The four exited the stage as the next team came up, the screen displaying their profiles.

"For the first time in our school's history, you are the very first five man team. And just the second team comprised entirely of faunus members. As the first five man team in Beacon, you will stand out in a special way. Mist Dragonblade. Shoryu Tokyoheim. Toshiro Torugaiya. Gweyn Gorman. and Yukikaze Ayakashi. The five of you found and retrieved the silver bishop pieces. From today forward, the five of you will work as Team MSTGY, led by.. Mist Dragonblade! Congratulations, young lady.,"Ozpin said.

"Thank you, Headmaster.,"Mist politely said.

The five exited the stage for the next team to come onto the stage. Their faces and profiles filling the screen.

"Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the gold rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JNPR. Led by... Jaune Arc!,"Ozpin announced.

Jaune was surprised at this. Him? the Leader?

"Huh? L-Led by?,"Jaune said surprised he was picked as the leader.

"Congratulations, young man.,"Ozpin said.

Amid the clapping, Nora laughs and gives Ren a hug. A grinning Pyrrha offers a friendly shoulder bump to Jaune, but her "fine leader" is knocked over and falls to his butt in front of the laughing audience. The four exit the stage to make room for the final team. The familiar group of four girls.

"And finally: Blake Belladonna. Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. Yang Xiao Long. The four of you retrieved the gold knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work as Team RWBY, led by... Ruby Rose!," Ozpin announced.

Weiss looks to her right surprised, where Ruby is obviously in shock as Yang goes over to hug her sister.

"I'm so proud of you!,"Yang said.

A certain red haired and horned faunus then comes over to her to congradulate her on being named a team leader.

"Congratulations, Ruby. I knew you could do it.,"Kouga said.

"t-Thanks Kouga.,"Ruby said with a smile towards the the faunus teen.

Ozpin smiled at the interaction between the teens amid the clapping of the audience gathered in the auditorium.

"It looks like things are shaping up to be an... interesting year.,"Ozpin told himself.

The camera pans over the auditorium's structure until it escapes into the open sky and shows the scattering crescent amid the day's clouds...

Elsewhere....

before going into the night and seeing the moon through a window, providing a view to the outside for a shadowy room filled with shelves and a desk in the back, where Roman Torchwick is getting a call on his phone. The muffled conversation ends, and Roman angrily slams the phone down, sighing. He holds a cigar to his mouth and puts his symbolized lighter to the end, just as a man in a gray mask and black hood comes with a trolley. Roman holds out a collection of , which he places on the table and the man takes.

"Open it.,"the crook said.

The masked man does so with a crowbar, revealing a large amount of Dust crystals of varying colors - orange, blue, white, red, green, cyan, gold, yellow, and more. Roman picks up a blue gem in his hand and looks at the loot. The crime boss sighed, it wasn't as much as he'd like. there now was but one recourse.

"We're... going to need more manpower...,"Roman said.

The view zooms in on the map above the desk, showing Vale and various districts and areas of crossed-out locations, all leading into a specially-circled place as the scene sets to black.
