Scarlet, Smash!

Suddenly a roaring was heard in the nearby area and Scarlet's motorcycle burst out of the foliage behind the grimm. The way it was positioned the machine would land on and subsequently run over Arachnophobia if the monster didn't dodge. Scarlet let out a cheer. "It's about damn time!"

Goals and Motivation

Offering Ullioc another block of sugar-sweet chocolate, he hesitantly nodded.

"I don't honestly know, but it'd be nice to run into our future team-mates. ...Are you going to be alright? You seem a bit worn out..."

Delicious Chocos

"It's nothing. I haven't gotten used to fighting and using my semblance at the same time. It's usually just one or the other. But I am getting used to a little." Ullioc gratefully took the block of chocolate and munched on it.

"You make this yourself? It's amazing."

Delicious.

"I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time, partner. You've got a considerable advantage having a Semblance to begin with, really." The human smiled, nodding.

"Yeah, I make all of the candy and desserts I eat. Um, I could make more when we get back and I can get some ingredients, if you like."

Ambrosia of the Gods

"That sounds heavenly." Ullioc replied. He put his arm around James's shoulder, then leaned down a little.

"Sorry about punching you in the knees back there, Jay..mes. I needed to knock you down somehow and that was the fastest option." He patted James's shoulders.

Black Temple

sorry about the double post

What Isabelle and Suzune were greeted with was a jet-black structure. It glittered in the sunlight, occasionally painted with a myriad of colors due to its iridescent nature. The jagged spires of the heaven-scraping structure split apart the skyline with their depth and presence.

The temple resembled the cathedrals of old that were oft dedicated to Solus or Gaia. The occasional stained glass window could be seen, decorated with images of hunters overcoming Grimm. In the center, above thick doors, was a circular window decorated with a symbol of twin swords.

Looked like this was it.

Thing is, one of the doors had been torn off its hinges at some point, and was left haphazardly on the ground.

Well, more like Heaven in Chocolate Form

Going slightly red and managing a weak smile, James nodded.

"W-Well, I-I guess I'll definitely be doing t-that when I head back, then. And i-it's fine, you said y-you needed me out of the way, so if it was f-for the greater good..."

Not that easy

The Spider did dodge. Like a pro. It jumped up high...and it would probably flatten Scarlet because that's where it was going to land.

Let's Rock

The monster slowed down to block Iris's attacks, stopping a few inches from where Morgan was.

It bellowed again....and actually shot its fist at Iris like a Dustdamn rocket punch!

Might as well

James and Ulioc would then arrive at the same place that Raggy and Selene were.

The ominously floating White Temple.

I'M OUT OF TREE PUNS

Despite the explosions breaking out in front of him and Mefus running off into the woods, Connor stood his ground and unholstered Cruach with his off hand. With two nigh-simultaneous pulls of the trigger, Cruach barked and unleashed a hail of electric bolts and pellets.

I gave you a tree pun you bastard

"Don't sweat it, partner. We have to look out for each other, right?" Ullioc replied with a smile.

Eventually, he reached the floating temple.

"Raggy. Sel. Good to see you two in one piece. I guess you're partners then?" He asked the two that had reached the area before him.

Spider Stomping

"Shit!" Marvin yelled through Grit teeth as he rushed over to Scarlet's side and shoved her out of the way and to safety. As the spider came down onto him, he crouched down to the ground before leaping into the air, rocketing up into the air, spinning as he did so, intent on piercing through the spider's stomach with his high frequency claws active.

(OTHER POSTS WILL COME SOON)

Temple Time

"Y-Yeah, exactly...we're a l-lot more likely to survive if we w-work together..."

Blinking in surprise as he finally notices that he's arrived at the temple with Ullioc, smiling.

"W-W-We're here...! L-Let's go look and see if anyone e-else is her- W-Wait, someone's here...?"

He cautiously waves.

Quartz quickly glanced back to the bat pursuing them; The chase was to be expected. However, carrying Dian, there was no chance he could out-maneuver the Grimm, and Dian would have trouble using her weapon either.

Thus, Quartz folded his wings to lose altitude as quick as possible and open them back mere meters away from the treeline.

"I be distract for shoot!" Quartz exclaimed as he dropped Dian towards a tree with high-hanging branches a couple meters below, suddenly flying back up in the hopes the less maneuverable bat passes in front of him or, better yet, right below him.

Dian turned in midair, firing an ice arrow that would freeze the bat solid...She looked over her shoulder at the Trees rushing up at her.

White Temple

"Well hello there James." Selene said casually as she sheathed Nightrider in twin armblade form behind her waist. "Didn't think I would see you here."

Outside White Temple, Yep.

Going slightly red from embarrassment and flustered, he simply nodded, trying to be polite and tough. "W-W-Well, dropping d-dead in the f-forest isn't exactly a-an ideal way to go...and I-I kind of ended up here b-by sheer chance, really. B-But, um, i-it's good to see you a-and Mr Ragna are a-alright, Miss Selene."

The human nervously took a swig from his flask and relaxed somewhat.

Yay!

Raggy turned to see Ullioc and James approaching them and his grin grew. "Well, isn't that fortunate." He greeted them both with a smile. "And yes, that would be the case. We have squared against a mighty Albhalok and a Grimm that is yet to be described by books, but otherwise we are fine." He decided not to mention the disaster that was their fight with Alice. Even if the aftermath made him feel warm and fuzzy inside, the preceeding wreckage of a combat kinda left a bitter taste in his mouth.

There is wisdom in retreat, huh...?

"C'mon now, my friend, don't sell yourself short!" Remington grinned at James self-depreciating himself again. "If you are here, this means you had to accomplish that much at the very least, no?"

Teamwork & Unity

"Y-You too, huh? W-We've kind of had our h-hands full dealing with at least t-three lots of Grimm so far...although t-the crash landing was probably the most painful p-part." James quietly replied, looking a bit embarrassed, but also a bit surprised. "A-A new G-Grimm...? W-Well, okay, I guess nearly a-all of them are sort of new to me, except f-...n-nothing."

Shaking his head and cutting himself short, the human reluctantly nodded in agreement.

"N-Not really s-selling myself short...I-I was completely l-lost before I ran into m-my partner. Not s-so great at direction w-when it comes to p-places like a forest, you see...not quite r-ready to die just yet, e-either, so..."

White Temple

"At the very least you're determined to keep on going." Raggy grinned a Remington grin. "And that is what is important."

"As for that peculiar Grimm we've faced, it was... hm, something. A little like a balloon with various body parts strapped to it, I suppose."

"W-W-Well, people kind o-of want more sweets a-and chocolate w-when we get back, s-so I don't really w-want to let them down. I-I guess it's a r-reason at least." He smiled weakly, his voice being honest, yet his eyes not looking so sure.

"...A-And a balloon? S-Should've been e-easy to deal with, r-right...?"

Ack, it's late. Sorry, but I need to go sleep.

I'm going to shoot me some clay Pigeons

Yanmin and Johann eventually found themselves in front of a set of ruins. Crafted of grey colored stone, the shattered structure still kept some of its once vastly imposing nature.

Near the entryway of the downward sloping path through the ruins, the pair could see 2 other people. They couldn't immediately recognize them.

Care for a swim?

"A balloon with limbs, huh? Sounds like something disgusting that shouldn't exist." Ullioc stated with slight disgust.

"You guys haven't seen Min anywhere, have you?"

Maren shoots at the beowulf a couple of times, "Ooo! You must be a character from the last book! This is so totally a sequel!"

MAREN AND HALLE

The figure paused, turning it's masked gaze upon the hooded one. "Sequel?" He asked, Was that a boy or a girl? He cracked his neck, "What the fuck are you talking about?" Was her semblance being all knowing and thought the world was a book?

Because that would be stupid.

Maren grins, "Oh, I guessed that this was a sequel a couple of scenes ago thanks to some of the other characters talking about the adventures of their parents and how this would be just like that and blah blah blah. This is obviously a sequel to the book about their parents about the children of the previous book's, or even book series', protagonists."

"MY DAD WAS A HUNTER, THAT IS TRUE..." Halle mused, striding around the new arrival carefully. She kept Zarathustra armed. "WEIRD THAT WE'D RUN INTO ADULTS DURING INITIATION, THOUGH; YOU'D THINK OZPIN WOULD CORDON THIS PLACE OFF."
