Last time on Transcendent Emperor Jaune, we saw that Jacques Schnee is the real threat! But just what else is in store for this particular episode of the series? Let's see…

The Crazy Things That Happen At Beacon When Jaune's No Longer Around To Witness Them! (Man, that's a mouthful!)

It's been a couple of weeks since Jaune left Beacon, and things were not as vibrant and full of life around Beacon anymore. RWBY and NPR have been showing signs of depression due to their own actions in driving Jaune away, and they all know that they have only themselves to blame. Even team CFVY felt bad about driving Jaune away.

But right now, we find Glynda standing out near the Emerald Forest without her glasses or her Scroll Tablet. She tapped her foot impatiently as she waited for someone.

"You know, sometimes I think Ozpin is an idiot sending these students off on dangerous missions just to get their mind off of their depression." she said to herself.

She thought about it for a moment, and then scoffed as an amused grin appeared on her face. It seems like Ozpin's trolling personality is infecting her more than she thought possible.

"Oh, who am I kidding, their antics are hilarious." Glynda quipped.

Just then, Ren came tumbling into the clearing through the underbrush. Clutched firmly in his hand was a golden set of keys, which he made sure to retain a firm grip on when he landed in a crouching position.

"Lei Ren, did you complete your quest for the Artifacts of Quick Travel?" Glynda asked.

"You mean these car keys?" Ren asked in return.

"They are known by many names…" Glynda declared dramatically.

But Ren wasn't impressed. He's seen better theatrics from professor Ozpin, and that man's lazy as heck!

"Is one of those names car keys?" Ren asked.

"Names aren't important." Glynda replied, taking the keys before mumbling "I'd best make a copy of these things."

Now we find Ruby looking pissed and hurt as she stomped into the clearing holding what looks like Glynda's Scroll Tablet. Her cape was on fire, so that might be why she's pissed.

"Miss Rose, did you retrieve the…"

"Just a second." Ruby said, cutting Glynda off.

The redhead plopped down onto her back and rolled around a bit to smother the flames, and popped back up to her feet feeling much better now that her cape wasn't burning.

"Okay, here's your Scroll," Ruby cleared her throat before saying "Uh, I mean the Artifact of Knowledge!"

She tossed Glynda the device, and the blonde teacher opened it while looking a little bit anxious about something. But what? Did she miss an important meeting, or something?

"You, um… you didn't look at the photo gallery, did you?" Glynda asked nervously.

"Well, mostly I was just trying to escape the forest alive. Eheh heh…" replied a sheepish Ruby.

Glynda gasped as her eyes turned into those white anime eyes that normally appear when an anime character is surprised or really mad, and began frantically swiping through her photos.

"Why?" Ruby asked.

"I… STILL have yet to delete my photos from the faculty costume party. Which turned out to be a very bad prank in the making Port…!" Glynda replied while growling out the name of the portly teacher.

"You want to talk about it?" Ren asked.

But Glynda didn't reply. She just started deleting the photos from that party. Some of them being more embarrassing than others.

"Erase, erase, oh!" Glynda said, coming across a good picture. "Okay, admittedly, that's actually a pretty good shot! Nice legs, Glynn, you work that look!"

Ren saw the picture and gasped as he felt the need to puke. It's one thing seeing your girlfriend dressed like that, but Glynda's old enough to be Ren's mother! Even if she doesn't look it. But Ren pulled through and swallowed the vomit that wanted to come out.

"No wait, wait. Are you just sending us on quests to find stuff you misplaced and calling them artifacts?" Ruby asked.

"Ruby Rose! I am shock!" Glynda said with faux innocence. "Shocked and dismayed at these faceless accusations!"

That's when the three of them heard the sound of screaming and watched as Weiss ran past them with a Beowulf and a Geist Grimm after her. They winced as she quickly turned around and punted them back into the Emerald Forest like a couple of soccer balls, feeling a bit sorry for those Grimm. They may be the enemy, but even THEY don't deserve to be treated like sports equipment!

Weiss took a moment to catch her breath before zipping over to Glynda, a big grin on her face as she presented the woman her glasses.

"Professor Goodwitch, I've retrieved the Spectacles of Clear Sight! They were in the Crags of Instability just as you foretold!" Weiss declared.

"Darn that pile of loose gravel!" Glynda said, putting her glasses back on her face.

"I KNEW IT!" cried Ruby.

Glynda mentally cursed herself for giving herself away like that. She had to think quickly. What would Ozpin do in this situation?

"Um… LOOK, A PTERODACTYL!" she cried, pointing in a random direction.

The three students looked in that direction, giving Glynda the perfect opportunity to run away undetected. Ren growled in annoyance, having lost his target. But it's okay, as Ruby looked at her two friends with a mischievous grin.

"I copied the photos!" she whispered.

All three of them grinned. At least they had some decent blackmail to use against her should she ever do something like this again.

*To Be Continued…*

This was just a little snippet before I put out the big chapter that's coming up. I hope you guys enjoyed a little comedy before the big duel!
