I Don't own RWBY or Dragon Drive

Weiss was completely relaxed as she flew through the air, with the emerald forest flying by beneath her. Weiss enjoyed the flight for a while longer before she created a glyph to slow her fall, and then leapt off of it to land in the forest.

Upon landing, Weiss took a look at her surroundings. There were no clear indicators of where she was in the forest so she simply began to walk in the direction she believed was north, hoping that she would run into Pyrrha or Ruby on the way.

The heiress' wish was soon granted as, not long after she landed, she was tackled to the ground by the crimson blur known as Ruby Rose.

"Weiss!" said crimson blur exclaimed, "I found you!"

Weiss was currently too busy with recovering the air she lost from the impact with the forest floor to respond to her new partners jaoyous exclamation, said breath catching made harder by the fact that the silver eyed girl was still on top of her. Ruby seemed to notice this and quickly got off of the heiress while rubbing her head and smiling sheepishly.

Weiss glared at her friend for a moment, before closing her eyes and sighing. The heiress knew that yelling at the cloaked girl would get her nowhere, Ruby long ago learned how to ignore her rants and lectures.

Yes, she was self-aware enough to realise that she did rant, although she was not nearly humble enough to say that out loud.

"Whatever," the heiress said, "Let's head this way, maybe we'll find some kind of landmark." Weiss says this as she points towards the forest to the right of the two trainees.

The two quickly came upon a small clearing, where they could see a blonde boy hanging from a tree by what was clearly Pyrrha's spear. The boy gave the two a nervous wave as they looked at him.

Ruby turned to her partner, "Should we wait for Pyrrha?"

Weiss thought about it for a moment before deciding, "Sure, there aren't any rules against helping each other through the woods, and Pyrrha will need to get Milo out of the tree to let..." Weiss turned to the boy in the tree, "My apologies, but what is your name?"

"Jaune."

"Pleasure, my name is Weiss Schnee and this is my partner Ruby." The heiress waves at Ruby as she introduces her. Their introductions seemed perfectly timed as the topic of their discussion walked into the clearing.

Pyrrha smiled at her friends before she turned to the boy pinned by her spear, "Sorry for pinning you, but you looked like you needed help."

Jaune looked sheepish, "I actually really did, so thanks." The boy yelped as he fell from Pyrrha pulling Milo back with her semblance, Ruby and Weiss both gave a deadpan stare at the apologies that started spilling from Pyrrha after he landed.

They sometimes forgot how overly-apologetic Pyrrha could be.

A few minutes later, after Pyrrha stopped apologizing, the group of four were heading north towards the temple and the relics thanks to a compass that Jaune happened to have on him. However, the group discovered something worrying after only a few minutes of walking.

"Do you mean to tell me," Weiss began calmly, "that you don't even have an active aura, and somehow got into beacon?"

The blonde male gave a nervous smile to the dangerously calm heiress, aware that he was very close to being stabbed at that moment. Ruby also noticed this, so while Pyrrha unlocked Jaunes aura, Ruby pulled her parter away to get her properly calm before she attempted to murder him.

Ruby sat her partner down on a stone, "You need to calm down Weiss."

Weiss glared at the cloaked girl for a moment before closing her eyes and attempting to do as she was asked. The heiress had learned how to acknowledge her own failings and issues, her temper being one that she still had trouble with.

After several moments Weiss stood up, "Alright, I will put my issues with the boy aside," she turns and looks at Ruby, "for now, at any rate."

Ruby sighed as she and Weiss began to walk back towards the other two, that was the best that she was going to get out of the heiress for now, she was nothing if not stubborn.

She also knew how to hold a hell of a grudge, so she actually felt a little sorry for Jaune. Not enough to get between him and Weiss' revenge when it arrives, but sorry for him nonetheless. The unintentional slight of him angering her is enough to create a grudge.

'Weiss is a surprisingly petty person' Ruby realised. As if hearing her partners thoughts, the heiress turns to look at the hooded girl. Ruby gives an innocent smile and sighs in relief as Weiss turns away, she may be petty at times, but Weiss can be scary.

The group quickly started moving again, continuing northward towards the temple they were rewarded for their efforts as they came across the clearing which contained the temple they were looking for not even ten minutes later. They were not the first to get there however, as there were four other people in the clearing with them.

The first one they saw was Ruby's sister Yang, who was standing with a black haired girl with bow in her hair. The other two people in the clearing were an exasperated black haired boy, and a bouncing ginger haired girl who seemed to be the cause of said boys exasperation.

"You made it Ruby!" Yang called out, though Weiss gave the blonde girl a dedpan stare for stating the obvious.

Ruby looks at her sister, "Did you think that I wouldn't or something?"

"What? No, I had complete faith in you."

As the two sisters seemed to degenerate into an argument about whether or not Yang had any faith in Ruby, Weiss grabbed one of the relics, a knight, from the temple.

"Okay, you two," Weiss interjects in the middle of the sisters argumet, "The two of you can continue your argument once we have gotten back to Beacon."

The sisters ceased their argument immediately, Ruby having a small smile on her face clueing Weiss in to the fact that the cloaked girls half of the argument was not nearly as serious as it seemed.

Weiss sighed and turned to leave the clearing, which was the exact moment that a large Deathstalker decided to burst out of the forest behind her.

Those in the clearing quickly pulled out their weapons, and got ready to fight the first truly powerful grimm of their careers.

Finally got this completed. This chapter has been fighting me since I got the time to work on my stories again. It actually turned into more of characterization chapter surprisingly.

The last few sentences don't feel as good as they could be but at this point, I will take what I can get.

Also, the Dragons will be making an appearance in the next chapter.

I will be trying to get at least one writing cycle complete before summer is over and I go back to school. The next story to be updated will likely be Miraculous Souls, and after that I will be getting to work on Generation STRQ.
