Alright, so now we all know that Ruby's special ability is super speed. Which is pretty cool to me. Makes me love her even more. However....Blake is extremely fast in her own right, and so is Weiss. I would include Nora in this race, but I think her expeditious movements are soley for comedic effect(or is it affect?...*shrugs*).

I wonder....who is the fastest out of these three speedsters? I think Ruby is the fastest. No bones about it. The girl literally moves place to place in the blink of an eye. But then again....is she able to use it all the time? Think back to the Deathstalker. She could've easily escaped from it, but for some odd reason she didn't(I attribute this to the writers wanting a dramatic scene). This usually happens quite a bit in shows. A character has an extremely useful power that could get them out of several compromising situations, but for some reason they just don't. Meh.

Anyway, back on topic. So Ruby boasts her speed to Weiss, who admits that while Ruby is fast, she still isn't faster than her. So Ruby challenges her to a race, which Blake thinks is interesting and decides to also test her mettle. They decide the location of this race to be in Forever Falls. They must start at the entrance and run all the way back to the Beacon Courtyard. Ruby, amped up and ready, is pretty conident that she will win. Weiss is determined to not be beaten by Ruby, while Blake is just ready for this whole shebang to start. So, Pyrrha the flag girl, signals for the girls to get ready. On your mark. Get set. Go!

Who do you think would win?
