The opening ends to the sight of Weiss Schnee and Ruby Rose hanging on to something very feathery and very fast, as evidenced by the loud wind and the two being blown sideways.

"Ruby! I told you this was a terrible idea!" Weiss shouted

"We're fine! Stop worrying!" Ruby yelled back

"I am so far beyond worrying!" Weiss said

"In a good way?" Ruby asked

"In a bad way! In a very bad way!" Weiss yelled

"Well, why don't we just jump?" Ruby asked

"What are you? Insane?!" Weiss yelled

She is met with silence; Ruby has already disappeared.

"Oh, you insufferable little red-!" Weiss yells

Down on the ground in the Abandoned Temple, Blake Belladonna is still staring skyward and pointing for Yang Xiao Long to look up.

"Blake, did you hear that? What should we do?" Yang asked

Ruby falls right towards them, finally getting Yang's attention, "Heads uuuuuuuup!"

Just as she's about to hit the ground panicking, Jaune Arc comes flying through the air and crashes into Ruby, knocking her off course and sending them both into a tree to the left of where Blake and Yang are standing. Ruby is dazed by the rough landing as evidenced by the cutesy Beowolves and stars circling her head.

"Oohhhh... What was that?" Ruby asked and the dizziness passes when she shakes her head

"Eh-hem!" A voice called out and Ruby looks up to see Jaune hanging upside-down in a tree branch above her, "Hey, Ruby..."

"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake asked Yang

"I..." She says

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.

"YEEEE-HAAAAW!" Nora yells and she rolls off of the creature's back, then gets up and groans, saddened) Awwww... It's broken." She dashes onto its neck and observes the carcass as Ren and Rayelle comes up behind her

"Nora! Please... Don't ever do that again." Ren says panting he then 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.

"That was fun!" Rayelle yelled

"You both are crazy." Ren said

"What can I say it runs in the family." Rayelle said

"Oooohh..." Nora days looking at a a golden rook relic and suddenly grabs it, an animation of stars and her hammer symbol playing 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 continues.

"Nora!" Rayelle/Ren yelled

Nora stops dancing with the rook on her head, then salutes, dropping the relic into her hand, "Coming, Ren and Ellie!" Nora skips off to her friends

"Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?" Blake asked

"I..." Yang says

She is interrupted once more as a screech is heard from their right, and Pyrrha Nikos comes onto the scene as the scorpion creature uproots entire trees in its chase after her. Pyrrha narrowly dodges its giant claws and keeps on running.
