“Hey Lapis, shouldn’t we keep going until we make it to the ruins?”

Barrel stood near his partner, who was busy writing marks on the ground he sat on with his six robotic and two real hands. Raising one finger, Lapis said, “I’m trying to predict how the team selections will go, which therefore calls for rigorous planning. Now, if the headmaster is using the chess pieces for scenarios two to thirteen, then-.” 

“Whoa, hold up Lapis. There’s no need to use so much brain power for this kind of thing. We should just go with the flow.”

“Go...with...the flow?” Using two robotic arms to stand upright, the tactician slowly moved towards the gunman. “Barrel, as the future tactician of this team, it is my job to understand the flow and bend it into a favorable situation for us.” 

“Like ‘turning the tides of the battle’ kind of thing?”

“Exactly! As you understand, I must tell you that it’s possible with the right mindset. Calculations, numbers, all can be crunched into a solution! Sunwu is a name who had such wonderful ability, my role model of why I must become an acknowledged Praetor!”

“Ha ha, that does sound like a good goal, but let’s try to keep things simple.” Suddenly, Barrel’s eyebrows crossed when he realized something. “Wait, Sunwu? Hold on...Lapis, why do you talk about him like that when he’s obviously-.”

“Gang way, coming through!”

Both Barrel and Lapis turned to see Rox rush through a bush with a dazed Ecru slung to his back. Right behind suddenly appeared…

“Boarbutusks?!” When he saw more come out, Lapis exclaimed, “A herd too! Repressing fire, fall back, Barrel!”

Both retreating partners fired their weapons at the armored herd that barreled through the gunfire. While Rox passed by the two, Ecru saw they were about to get caught, making him slam both of his palms together.

Suddenly, a white mist enshrouded the boys. The monsters, now in their ball forms, rolled on through to hit nothing. While they made their long turn back, Barrel hung onto a branch of the same tree the others were hanging on.

“Nice stealth work, Ecru.”

“Th-thanks Barrel. We should probably leave now. We can-.”

“Not a chance.” The gunman used his eyes to form reticles on the Grimm that rolled from his view into the mist. “The fields ahead are barren like a bowling alley, so I don’t want us to become a bunch of bowling pins for these guys. Lapis, got a plan?”

“Excuse me?”

“Well, you said you want to be a tactician. Now is the best time to do that, don’t you think?”

The addressed boy gave the gunman an incredulous look before he formed a small smile. “Gladly. You and Rox, prepare your weapons for ground alterations. We’re going to use our enemies’ best advantage to reveal their greatest weakness.”

“I don’t know what that means, but it sounds smart, so I’ll go for it!” Rox shouted this as he and Barrel fell towards the ground. While Lapis followed after them, Ecru held tight onto the branch he was stuck on.

“Uh, guys? What about me?” As the sound of moving earth and gunfire filled the air, the Faunus said, “Okay, I’ll just watch you guys do your thing...you can do it!”

***

“So I said to the guy, you should totally get a ninja garb with that, but he said he didn’t want to look scary. I can’t blame him though, he looks like he’s even afraid of his own shadow. But you know, it’s not as strange as how you can’t swim, Sapphyre, when Ragla here had to help you...hey, what’s wrong everyone?”

Everyone remained silent as they listened to one of Amy’s many stories. However, they weren’t silent because of the singer; they were silent because of the small trail of bubbles heading towards them.

“On 3?”

Ragla and Yulon nodded to Sapphyre’s question while Amy asked, “What? What are we doing?”

“One…”

A large plume of water erupted from behind.

“Three! Three, go!”

Everyone jumped off the trunk that was smashed into pieces from the closing of two large clamps. They scaled the trees to separate from whatever was trying to attack them from the water.

“Wow, that was a fun game of follow the leader. Hey, what’s that lizard there?”

The others saw that what Amy was looking at was a crocodile-like Grimm. With its bulging red eyes, it snapped its large mouth and snorted angrily with its snout, annoyed that it couldn’t catch its prey. Its entire top was covered in the usual Grimm mask pattern while the rest of its body, aside from its white tail, was pitch black--with several clumps of moss here and there.

“Oh good, we’ve garnered the attention of a Crocodrillus,” said a sarcastic Yulon. “We should move now.”

“Why,” asked Sapphyre. “We have the high ground, don’t we?”

Suddenly, the Grimm opened its two clamp-shaped mouths and shot out its long tongue. The sticky extension forced Sapphyre and Ragla to jump from their branch wrecked one second later.

“Nevermind, nevermind! I don’t know why I’m not tired of being wrong!”

The four girls jumped from branch to branch, the previous ones getting destroyed or sucked in by the pursuing Grimm. With great acrobatics, Yulon jumped while spinning, using the momentum to swing out her throwing knives. An amused Amy followed with aerial somersaults to shoot her shotguns when she was upside-down. The various projectiles struck the monster, but none of them made it stop its pace once.

Sapphyre prepped a red-tipped arrow and took a deep breath. Turning as she made one jump, she shot her arrow towards the Grimm only to see it bounce off of its mouth. Unsure if its because of her Semblance, the archer saw the arrow fly into tree far ahead of the group.

The projectile exploded upon impact, leaving a huge chunk broken. Amy, swung towards it and fired both shotguns to make the structure lose its support.

“Tiiiimbeeer!”

The large tree crashed onto the Crocodrillus. Although damaged, the Grimm raised its tail with pointed end spinning like a drill. The appendage was used to smash the tree it was under and obliterate it into splinters.

“Oh man, that doesn’t look good.” Sapphyre was so concerned that she didn’t watch her step on one of the branches ahead. Tripping, she fell and crashed into the water below.

“Sapphyre!” Ragla was about to dive after her, but she saw that Yulon beat her to it.

Grateful, the warrior landed on top of the monster and blasted her flamethrowers at its eyes. Blinded, the monster dove into the water, forcing Ragla to jump off before it could take her with it. As she hung onto her blade embedded in a tree, she saw Yulon and Sapphyre surface from the water, the former dragging the latter back to land.

Yulon, shaking off the filthy water, commanded, “Get up, we need to move!” Both girls managed to run away from the shore just as the Crocodrillus resurfaced to chase after them. Running blindly through the forest, Sapphyre looked above to see Ragla and Amy jumping across the branches -- the former skillfully leaping while the latter was leisurely skipping along.

As she shook the water off of her weapon, Sapphyre felt Yulon’s body slam her out of the way. Although hurt, this prevented the archer from getting impaled by the drill tail of the gaining Grimm. While she rolled away, she saw the manager come over and drag her in a different direction.

“Ouch! Why are you so pushy?!”

“Because you’re not reacting fast enough, now move!”

While both dirtied girls traversed onwards to avoid the Grimm, Ragla brainstormed on how she could help them. However, seeing Amy do random acrobatic flips and swings greatly annoyed the warrior.

“What are you doing? Can’t you see they need help?”

The singer laughed as she winked, “It’s no fun to worry when we can’t do anything. That’s why I’m just being loosey-goosey while I can.”

Ragla was about to criticize Amy when she heard, “Oh look, maybe we can use that!” The warrior followed the singer’s gaze. She huffed in annoyance as she agreed with what the singer had in mind.

While the two tree jumpers moved on ahead, Sapphyre and Yulon were still below and trying to fend off the approaching Grimm with their long-range attacks.

“Yulon, we should climb up the trees and get out of its range!” Rolling away from an incoming tail drill, Sapphyre shot another arrow at the Grimm and winced at the projectile bouncing off of its scaly body.

“We can’t, not when it’s strong enough to knock our escape routes down.” With this, the young manager scaled up a tree before launching towards the Crocodrillus. With her Semblance, she made swift twists and turns through the air to dodge the tail drill and tongue that tried to strike her down. Sapphyre, while climbing, watched her teammate’s agility in amazement.

However, the archer felt distressed when she saw Yulon land on the Grimm’s back and attack every part, even the eyes, with little damage. Instead, the monster looked so agitated that it tried to swipe its attacker off with its tail. When it missed after Yulon did a graceful backflip, it launched its long tongue to have it bounce off of a nearby tree.

Yulon didn’t anticipate such a clever tactic until her body was smacked by the sticky muscle. She was then slammed into a nearby tree, leaving her limp as the tongue dragged her towards the Grimm’s open mouth.

“Sorry, she’s not on the menu!” Sapphyre quickly jumped down with a blue-tipped arrow in her hand. After she landed and rolled away from getting kicked by a stubby leg, she stabbed the projectile deep into one part of the tongue. While the muscle froze into a case of ice, the archer nocked the same arrow into her bow and fired it straight inside the Grimm’s abysmal mouth.

This sent the Crocodrillus into a yelling frenzy as the inside of its mouth froze and it couldn’t pull its tongue back in. Sapphyre used this chance to slash the tongue off of Yulon’s back with her sword and run away before the monster charged towards her.

While the manager struggled to rip the tongue chunks off her back, she said, “I appreciate the help, but there was a plan. Your action was just a delightful alternative.”

“Uh, you’re welcome, I guess.”

While the two girls ran, they heard ice breaking and turned to see the Grimm stomping towards them. The monster surprised them when it opened its mouth and unleashed its regenerated tongue. Yulon was the faster one to push her and Sapphyre out of the way in time.

They were about to continue running when they heard a blast of fire from one direction. There, they saw Ragla riding a large log while she had her flamethrowers let out bursts of fire behind her. At the front was Amy, who was helping with the motion by blasting her shotguns diagonally behind her. The combined recoil and bursts made the log launch straight towards the Grimm’s mouth.

“Say ‘ahh!’”

Amy and Ragla jumped off right as the large trunk was shoved inside the monster’s mouth. Gagging, the Crocodrillus tried to push it out with its tongue, but the muscle became entangled around the object upon its entry.

Sapphyre, with her keen eyes, saw an opportunity and ran until she had a clear shot. With her drill arrow nocked and operating, the archer smiled when she thought of something catchy in mind.

“Chew on this, you scaly creep!” When fired, the projectile ran through the hole in the log and pierced into the monster’s tonsil, its weak point. The Grimm’s bulgy eyes seemed to grow wider before it banged its head into the ground to try and rid the pain coursing through its body.

“A good shot, but it could have been done without the phrase.” Sapphyre turned around to see Ragla and Amy run towards her and Yulon. When they were all together, they ran away to leave the Grimm behind.

“What are you talking about, Ragla? That was PERFECT! Well, I thought it was fine, don’t you think so Saphy?”

Sapphyre felt less embarrassed from Amy’s words. “Thanks, and I’m guessing that log idea was yours, right? Rae would never use an idea like that.”

“Rae?! Your nickname is Rae?!” Amy’s exclamation greatly frightened Ragla for what was coming. “First Yolo, then Rae Rae, and now Saphy! We all have nicknames now! Ooh, maybe we can make a team name, let’s go with team Amethyst since purple is my favorite color!”

A grinning Sapphyre and disturbed Yulon were so distracted by this that they could have continued running had Ragla not shouted, “Wait, stop!” When everyone stopped, they saw that they were at the edge of a huge cliff. When Amy looked over the edge, she saw something far down.

“Oh look, there’s the temple with the relics!”

The other teammates saw their objective in the distance. At the same time, they heard trees crash behind them. Turning, they could see the Crocodrillus angrily making its way towards them in its pained frenzy.

Ragla and Sapphyre moved away in time while Yulon and Amy were slammed away by the stuck log used like a mace. Falling, Yulon quickly grabbed Amy by her arms before she slowed their descent with the use of her Semblance. The excited singer yelled, “Go faster, faster! And put in a little twirl to make it look awesome!”

“St-stop it! I…can’t concentrate...if you move like this!”

Struggling to aim without the use of her fans, Yulon finally set both her and her partner safely on the ground. Just when they thought they were fine, they saw a great shadow cover the surrounding area. They ran and managed to evade the large landing of the monster; Amy laughed when she saw that Ragla and Sapphyre were riding on top of the Grimm.

After the two jumped off, they gathered near their teammates to escape together. Before they could do so, the Grimm snapped its mouth closed again to crush the log inside. Taking a deep breath, it spat out all of the remaining, woody pieces towards its prey to pierce them.

Ragla, with her dual-ended sword, spun her weapon in a circle at her front while Amy did the same with her chained weapon. This deflected the incoming projectiles, allowing Yulon and Sapphyre to continue running undeterred. Knowing they were out to retrieve their artifacts, Ragla shouted, “We need to give them time! Can you help me distract it?!”

“Can I? Ha, this can only be a job for-.” Charging forward, Amy finished, “-the Royal Noisemaker, born royalty of the singing sensations!”

The Crocodrillus tried to bite into the singer as she shot her shotguns while running to its right. Before it could reach her, it felt flames lick its other side, making it go after Ragla who outran its violent turn as she made her way to the opposite direction. This placed its view away from the singer, who flung herself on top of the Grimm and slammed one axe onto its head to anchor herself.

“Wahoo!” She shouted when the monster bucked and shook to get the girl off of its back. When it tried to slam its tail into her, Ragla appeared behind its eyes and fired her flamethrowers at them. Blinded and in pain, the monster missed its target entirely, drilling the limb into the ground beside it.

“Ooh, let me help!” Amy said this as she slammed both weapons into the monster’s eyes. The combined force made the Grimm yell in pain before it ran straight towards a tree. Ragla and Amy got off before it made contact and ran to join the others. While they were running, the singer silently lamented how she couldn’t use her electric attack like the time she used the electric cords against the Tarantellam.

The two joined the others who came back with black objects in their hands. Ragala looked carefully as she asked, “Rooks? Chess pieces are the artifacts?”

“Regrettably, yes, but now’s not the time to digress,” said Yulon. “We should retreat while we still have the chance.”

“Actually, I kind of want to stop the monster here,” said Sapphyre. When she saw everyone’s surprised gazes, she continued, “Well, that Grimm is going to chase us back to the cliffs. If there are more people there along the way, we should stop the monster for them.”

Everyone took a moment to think before Ragla and Amy nodded at the archer. Yulon was the only one against this when she asked, “Say we do take this monster on, how will we exactly defeat it? If we go in without a plan then we may as well be dead as the others.”

“I know its weak spot.” Trying not to shrink from the attention, Sapphyre continued, “If we can hit the tonsil again, we can take it down. It’s tough, but I think…no, I believe we can do it.”

“Wait, just knowing this doesn’t mean anything. I’m still against...where are all of you going?!” Yulon watched everyone else follow Sapphyre’s lead. In her dilemma, she decided to follow along as she felt that any retreat would create a bad image for her.

While running, Sapphyre yelled, “If all of you can get it to open its mouth, then I can-.”

As if it knew they were coming, the Grimm drilled and dragged its tail in the ground, creating a wave of dirt that washed over the three girls. Although Sapphyre was far from getting caught, the others became blinded by the cloud of dirt and rocks. When Amy could see again, she saw that the monster was now close and ready to bite into her to seal her doom.

With what most called brave while Yulon thought of as ridiculous, Ragla arrived in the mouth first with her dual-ended weapon held vertically in front of her. As Amy became scooped into the mouth, the Grimm closed it only for it to feel both clamps get jammed on Gemini Blaze’s both blades. Whooping with joy, the singer slammed her axes on the inside cheeks and shot right then and there, unleashing electric currents with the help of her Dust rounds.

The Crocodrillus roared with pain, signaling that now was the time for Sapphyre to make her move. However, she couldn’t get a clear shot of the tonsil since her teammates were in the line of sight.

“Sapphyre, allow me!”

Hearing Yulon’s voice gave Sapphyre an idea as she took an arrow, sporting a regular arrowhead. Firing at the ground near her, the projectile unleashed a wave of Aura energy behind the passing manager, who used it as a boost to launch herself towards the Grimm.

Yulon barely maneuvered past her teammates to make her way deeper inside the mouth. When she struck the tonsil with both of her fans, the Grimm bit harder only to have its inner mouth cut deeper into the jammed sword. Soon, it wavered with its dying breaths, mouth loosening to where Ragla could jump away after pulling out her sword.

Amy, however, went deeper inside while yelling, “ NO, YOLO! Come out of the darkness! Don’t go into the darkness!”

With one more roar, the Grimm collapsed onto the ground dead, leaving Sapphyre and Ragla relieved that the battle was over.

“Wait, is Yulon and Amy alright?” When Ragla saw the Crocodrillus’s mouth move, the warrior lifted her swords at ready. However, she relaxed when she saw Amy lift the mouth to reveal herself and Yulon.

The sight left Sapphyre ecstatic. “We did it! V for vic-.”

“Catch phrases to yourself, remember?”

Sapphyre still whispered, “Victory,” with two fingers forming a V next to her smile. Ragla shook her head at this in annoyance.

The two others were walking towards them, covered in the most vile smell and liquid that would send a clean freak to kingdom come. As one herself, Yulon kept her hand over her mouth to prevent herself from throwing up.

“This is...the worst-.”

“Best fight ever! Best friends, best moves, and best team ever formed! Come here, Yo-Yo, you deserve a hug for that final blow and being the best partner.”

Yulon’s eyes grew when the contact made an unpleasant noise. “Gross, please let go! Defiled contact is not welcome in any situation!”

“Naw, you’re just going to have to deal with it.”

The conversation made Sapphyre giggle while Ragla tried to stifle her own. As she had her hand over her mouth, the warrior noticed the rook piece sticking out of the archer’s pocket.

“So this is what we’re taking back with us, Sapphyre?”

“Yep, I grabbed the two and handed one to Yulon. I think she was going back to change it, but…” Seeing Yulon running from a persistent Amy made the archer finish, “I think it’s best if we just go back now.”

While Sapphyre and Ragla followed their fellow students, the archer asked, “Hey, I didn’t see Barrel this entire time. Where do you think he’s at right now?”

***

“Wow...uh-.”

“Everything has gone according to plan. What would you like to do, leader?”

Barrel didn’t know what to say as he stood up to look over the trough’s edge. There, before him, laid all of the Boarbatusks lying dead on the ground and smoking.

“Uh...leave with the relics? I mean...wow, your plan worked perfectly.”

“Only because you have respected my desire to prove myself. Plus, you have a gift of seeing the potential in others, which is why their participation has helped in this matter.”

Barrel looked in one direction to see Rox shouting at Ecru, who was still holed up in the same tree. “Yeah, Ecru’s mist and Rox’s help with the trough really pulled through when that surprise attack came.” Climbing out, Barrel saw a large acorn slam into Rox’s forehead, which greatly annoyed him.

“GET DOWN HERE! THE BATTLE IS OVER!” Howling, the muscular boy used a jettisoned swing to slice clean through the tree trunk. As the woody structure fell, the squirrel Faunus jumped out and landed near Barrel. Hiding behind the gunman, the scared boy yelled out,  “S-stop, I’m down. Wait, I said I’m down!”

Rox was charging towards Ecru when he saw that Barrel was in the way. After stopping dead in his tracks in front of the blue-haired boy, he glared at the cowering Faunus.

“You...this isn’t over. We’re partners for the next four years, so get ready. I’m going to make rip the unmanly right out of your guts!”

After the strongman walked away, Barrel gave his Faunus ally a gentle push. “Ecru, I know he scares you, but try to make it where you two don’t fight, okay? He’s got a point when he said you two are stuck for four years together.”

“I-I know, b-but he keeps yelling at how I’m a pipsqueak. I really hate it when people point out the obvious.”

“Don’t sweat it right now. Let’s just go back and get this over with, okay? You can take a nice bath and bed after this.”

“Y-yeah, that would be nice...I can look forward to that.”

While he walked behind Ecru, Barrel noticed that Lapis was aiming fingers, real and robotic, in different directions.

“We have strength, surprise, and leadership amongst us.” With fingers now pointing to himself, the tactician finished, “And finally, a Praetor. I will be handling all tactics for whoever we are with, leader. We shall have unity within our future operations.”

“Got it, I’ll leave it to you.”

“Excellent, thank you for providing me this chance. Again, you will not be disappointed.”

Barrel sighed as he saw his partner and, unknowingly, his new teammates walk on back to the cliffs. Although he could see they were all unusual, he enjoyed how they all came together in the recent battle.

When he felt a wind blow in the air, he followed it to fortunately see Sapphyre and her team in the distance.

He smiled when he saw the archer. To himself, he said, “Well Saph, it looks like you found your own team. We’ll see how you do when you become the leader.”

***

   

Sapphyre and Ragla walked on back to Beacon Cliffs while Yulon and Amy were trailing near them. Suddenly, they heard something hard land beside them before a red and black blur passed by them.

A white blur soon followed while it yelled, “Ruby, slow down and let me see that relic!”

“But Weiss, we need to get back before it gets dark! Keep up before the food...I mean time runs out!”

“I knew it! This is about dinner, isn’t it?!”

While Ragla was confused, the other girl froze when she heard a familiar voice say, “Sapphyre? Is that you?”

The archer turned around to see Yang come into view beside a mysterious girl in black.

“Wow, it is you. What's up?”

In a weak voice, the archer replied, “Uh, hi Yang...not much, really.”

“Someone you know?” Sapphyre heard this from the mysterious girl who Yang addressed as Blake.

When the blonde looked at Ragla, she asked, “So who might you be? Are you Sapphyre’s friend?”

“Yes, I’m Ragla. I’m also her teammate.” The warrior didn’t notice that the archer’s face lit up from the acknowledgement. “So you two are from the same academy?”

“Yep, we sure are. Was she cheering you on when a fight was going on?” The question made Sapphyre panic.

“I’m sorry, I don’t understand.”

“Oh, so she didn’t?  Well, this girl here used to be known as a cheerleader at our school, using some corny catchphrases to support her classmates. I just happen to see it a couple times, and I got to say, you’re...sorta lucky to have her, I guess when you feel down.”

Ragla then realized that her partner has indeed displayed this attitude in several instances. The sheepish expression on the archer’s face confirmed it. “I see. Well, she’s been a big help in the fights we’ve had. In fact, she managed to lead us to victory with her unique eyesight.

“Really? Eh, I wouldn’t know, I didn’t see what her score was. I guess you improved if you were able to make it to Beacon, Saph.”

While the warrior tried to understand the brawler’s words, she heard, “Well, it was nice running into you two. Maybe we have the same classes together later.”

Blake just gave a simple nod as she followed her blonde partner. Ragla returned the gesture before she gave her silent teammate a curious look. “A cheerleader; so that’s why you’ve been acting that way.”

“Y-yeah, it’s what I like to do for people. I know you don’t really like it, so I’ll do my best to stop it.”

“No, don’t. It was my mistake not recognize that it's a part of who you are. Just...try to avoid the cliché’s when you can, alright?”

The pleasant change of thought made Sapphyre smile. Before she could express her gratitude, she saw her partner give her a frown. “But have more confidence in who you are. If I knew this beforehand, then I wouldn’t have made myself sound like a bully.”

“O-oh, yeah. Confidence, got it! I’ll be so confident, that I won’t let anything drag the two of us down!”

Sapphyre’s two-finger salute irked Ragla. However, she decided to let it go as the two already went through a lot for today.

“Hey, you guys! What are you doing?!” The two girls turned to see Amy walking up to them. “I leave you two out of my sights for one second and here you are, far behind me and Yulo.”

“Wasn’t it Yolo?” asked Sapphyre.

“Yulo, Yolo, Yo-yo; they’re all nice nicknames for my bestest partner. Now c’mon, we’ve got to get ourselves back to Beacon Cliffs, pronto!”

“Alright, we’re right behind you Amy.” After several steps, Ragla asked, “Actually, where is Yulon? Did she go on ahead?”

“Nope, she’s waiting for us right here.”

All three girls came upon Yulon, who was struggling to be free from the chains of Amy's weapons, which were around her body. “Let...me...go! I have to rectify my miscalculation!”

The singer turned to her two alarmed friends and whispered, “She tried to make a run for it without us. I thought it was better if we left together, so I had her wait like this while I came back to get you two.”

“I heard that! And I have a sane reason for doing this! Untie me now so I can-.”

Amy suddenly pulled hard on her weapon, spinning her partner around like a top. When it stopped, the singer laughed as the manager stumbled around in her vertigo.

“Now I’m...free...I can...team up with-.”

“Team up? But all four of us are already teamed up!”

Yulon shot the singer an angry glare. “And what does that exactly mean?”

“It means what it means, Yolo. You know that piece Saphy got you? Since you and I are partners with that piece, we’re going to be on a four-person team with our two new buddies. Isn’t that great?!”

The three others tried to question how Amy knew this, but the confident smile on her face made them unwilling to question her. Sapphyre looked at her new teammates and said, “Okay, it’s official then. The four of us are going to be a team from this point on.”

“After our recent fight, I don’t disagree,” said Ragla.

“Yep, yep, from now on, we can be...hm, how about Team Saphyr? You know, the first letters of our names go into that word.”

The archer grimaced at the familiar name. “I don’t think we should use that one. What do you think, Yulon? Yulon?” She saw that her new teammate was on the floor, face expression implying that she collapsed from exhaustion.

“Aww, she’s so happy, she fell asleep!” Amy flung her partner over her shoulder and walked on. “C’mon, the ceremony isn’t going to wait for us and we all need a shower, don’t you think?”

Sapphyre and Ragla looked at everyone’s clothes to see that she was right. Grinning at each other, they then followed their new teammate onwards back to Beacon Cliffs. From there, they continue onto the ceremony, to officially become Team SYRA.
