Beach episode, every good show needs a beach episode! OK, I'm going to have to elaborate on this one, since the idea is so sweet, thanks Karthus

Let's call it Terror Beneath the Waves

Part 1- Part one doesn't need a great description, since this episode is basically going to be Ruby, Yang and Nora dragging Team RWBY and Team JNPR to the beach after the first week of term. They spend most of the episode goofing around in the sea, Nora drags Team JNPR to the top of a small cliff and asks to do a friendship jump off of it into the water. Ren goes along with it, Pyrrah is unsure, and Jaune downright refuses. Nora, Ren and Pyrrah join hands, jump, and at the last moment Nora grabs Jaune and pulls him down with the rest of the group, and the whole beach explodes into laughter as they hear Jaune's girly scream. Unknown to Team JNPR, Ren had a funny feeling and decided to secretly pack up the Team's weapons, just in case, and Team RWBY have too much attachment to their weapons to leave them at school. Ruby and Yang are splashing each other in the water while Blake and Weiss have a conversation (which is basically Weiss complaining.)

WEISS: We shouldn't have even came to the beach! I mean, we should be practicing theory, or doing homework-

BLAKE: Weiss, we haven't got any homework, it's the first week.

WEISS: But still, did we have to land ourselves with such a brash and irresponsible leader? And her sister just encourages her, we're not going to get anywhere with such an incompetent team captain.

BLAKE: She seemed pretty competent to me when she made the plan that took out the Nevermore.

WEISS: Pure luck!

BLAKE: If that's what you want to call it.

WEISS: But yet again, we might be better off that Team NPRJ-

BLAKE: Team JNPR.

WEISS: Whatever! One of them is a health risk, the other should have been my partner, and I don't know which leader is worse- Ruby or Jaune Arc. JNPR is hopeless.

BLAKE: Team JNPR aren't that hopeless if they took out a Deathstalker.

WEISS: Not before it chased them all the way down to the Temple! And I'm the one who saved Ruby from it!

BLAKE: *Sighs and brings a book out of her bag and starts to read*

Camera moves away from Blake and Weiss, goes past Ruby and Yang, then Team JNPR who are playfully chasing each other in the water, and to far out to see where four eyes omniously glow in the water.

Part 2- Team JNPR, tired out now (except, of course, for Nora) are heading back to shore as the sun starts to set on the day at the beach. The ground shakes a little, which alarms them into a halt, and then to the horror of the few people who remained at the beach a huge sea-serpent jumps out of the water, scattering Team JNPR. Pyrrah lands face-first in the sand, Ren and Nora further into the ocean, and Jaune onto the cliff where he desperately clings onto the edge. People scatter, Blake drags an nconscious Py rrah away somewhere safe while Ruby and Yang run to shore and Weiss pulls out their weapons, throwing them to each of her team members. By this time, Ren and Nora have made it out of the water and Ren reveals he had brought their weapons to the beach, which does not surprise Nora. They then look at Jaune, who had just dragged himself up onto the cliff, losing a shoe in the process, the Sea-Serpent lashes out at the cliff face, causing the part Jaune sits on to crumble.He escapesa trecherous fall by rolling out of sight, coughing from all the dust. No one seeing Jaune falling or rolling to safety, they all debate in their heads whether they should go to help Jaune but are instantly cut off by the roar of the Sea-Serpent, in which Nora, Ren and RWBY coordinate themselves to attack, and while they are distracted Jaune is running down to the beach, grabbing his sword and shield, and is suddenly struck by a stroke of inspiration and unnoticed by his fellow team members, runs back up to the cliff. Weiss then decides to deliver the finishing blow, and just as she is about to strike Ruby takes the glory by rushing in and beheading it. A moment of jealousy from Weiss, and then as Pyrrah stirs they looke around for Jaune, who is again out of sight. Nora spots his shoe washed ashore, and Yang voices their worries that Jaune had indeed fallen when a part of the cliff crumbled. But just before Ruby can finish her suggestion to go and look for him, another Sea-Serpent emerges from the depths, but just as they face to fight it, Jaune comes running to the edge of the cliff, and jumps at the serpent, sinking his sword into it's head and both the Sea-Serpent and Jaune fall and disappear into the depths. The water runs red and Yang and Blake hold Ruby back from trying to help Jaune, Ren and Wiess doing the same to Nora and now Pyrrah, who had awoken fully to see Jaune fall into the water. There are a few tense moments, where the water boils ferociously, but then a victorious Jaune breaks the surface of the water, and swims to shore to the amazement of his fellows. When Jaune gets to the shore, everyone crowds around him, impressed by his one-hit-kill.

WEISS: I must say, that was a very heroic thing you did.

BLAKE shoots WEISS a look

JAUNE: So that sort of behaviour is encouraged, Snow Angel?

WEISS looks shocked and slightly hurt, but the others, oblivous, congratulate him, until Blake spots a long, deep cut on JAUNE's leg.

BLAKE: Jaune, how did you get that cut?

JAUNE: A Sea-Serpent fang scratched my leg.

BLAKE: (Worriedly) Sea-Serpent fangs are poisonous, we need to get you back to school!

The others shoot terrified looks at each other.

JAUNE: Maybe I can heal it?

''JAUNE hold his leg out, and is surrounded by the glow of his Aura, but the cut does not heal itself. ''

PYRRAH: Jaune, we need to get back to school, now!

JAUNE: Alright-

''JAUNE's eyes suddenly widen, before he collapses into a heap on the sand, overcome by the Sea-Serpent poison. ''

PYRRAH: Jaune! Jaune! (picks him up) Can somebody help me carry him?

''RUBY helps PYRRAH to hold up JAUNE, and everyone but WEISS accompanies them. WEISS holds Myrtenaster to the side, looking guilty. BLAKE looks back to see WEISS standing alone and exits the group to see her.''

BLAKE: Weiss, what are you doing?

WEISS: It seems like every impression I have of someone turns out totally wrong.

BLAKE: (Smiling) I thought you'd catch on.

WEISS: Jaune Arc is an excellent leader, and if I was wrong about him, maybe I'm wrong about Ruby too.

BLAKE: We'll just have to find out. Now come on, we need to get Jaune to-

WEISS: Hold on! I just want to say something.

BLAKE: What?

WEISS: I'm sorry.

BLAKE: To me? What for-? (Blake's expression turns understanding- she nods.)

WEISS: I'm really, really sorry.
