Welcome to Beacon! (RWBY-verse RP)

Team CRGS

"Oh fuck off!" Calypso screamed as she unloaded on the thing. She didn't even bother using Dust. She was just going to shoot that thing until it died again. In the afterlife!!

Someone else can have the kill this time. Ice?

Tara followed Jack in order to retrieve Raganrok "Oooh.... Scary... yeah we should be hasty"

CRGS

Rufus ran to the edge, ran there to see the spider-beast fall to its death.

"No.

"No, no, no! NO!"

Rufus ran to the edge of the defeated bridge, Vorpal Sword drawn.

"You must be the MOST difficult beast since the JABBERWOCKY!

"DIE!"

The Vorpal Sword flashed, slicing through the strand. Only, too late, another and other were put in its place.

"NO! DIE!"

Snicker-snack!

He cut through them, but three more strands supported the spider on the other side. And then more on his side. Rufus gawked, looking at that. He marveled at the beast so desperately clinging to life. What's more, it begun to swing to the side walls, seeking to protecting its belly while climbing back up.

"Oh Dusty FFFFFUUUUCK!"

Rufus looked up, growling. He eyed Calypso, "Madam, I will need your help in a few short moments, to I may return."

He looked down, "Or my family will need it, so I may be buried."

He jumped.

~

Snicker-snack

The Vorpal Sword swung in a complete circle, slicing through every strand, and angle he could only get down there. Then he was face to face with the beast, falling to the abyss together.

Rufus grunted.

JUMP ON IT

Ieria brushed Pius off with a glance before she pushed the bones back into position. "There is nothing you need to concern yourself with about me. That matter is private." She said darkly as she inched away. "Regardless, good job on disposing of the creature."

CRGS

Right into the spider's maw came the mighty sword. Down through the spider's brain came the mighty sword.

He-Who-Brings-Death was dead, killed by the humans he so underestimated. He was dead before hitting the ground. He was no more.

....Unfortunately, so was Rufous unless Calypso catches him. The ground was coming up, fast.

CRGS

"Oh you don't just DIE like that!

"We have an epic mid-fall battle!

"I don't just one-shot you!"

Rufus was simply running off adrenaline at this point.

CRGS

Still dead. Callie, get your ass down here.

(No, just let it be dead. Let's not go back and forth on this.)

Medus continued to glare. "No if you're going to keep going berserk and increasing the chances of getting one or both of us killed it is most assuredly not a private matter, Compadre."

Team CRGS

Wait for iiiiiiit...

Calypso took off in a sonic dive, catching Rufous mere inches from the ground. "Yes! Beat my best time!

JUMP

Ieria shot a glare at Medus and said nothing more.

CRGS

"Madam," Rufus told her, nodding.

A moment of silence and, "I never did get your name."

Team JUMP

Pius backed away from the Faunus when she rebuffed him, and Dies Irae lights returned to their default gray glow to match the metal. Regardless of her cold demeanor, the Nobel was used to staring at a mirror, so he didn't miss the compliment that her last sentence consisted of.

"Thank you," he replied as the visor once again opened up to reveal his face. "You were an efficient warrior yourself, Ieri-ah?" Pius' responding compliment was interrupted when he felt someone tap his shoulder through his armor. Turning around, the gray-eyed warrior found himself facing a sight he rarely saw: a girl holding out her hand in greeting first, with a smile that was more than polite.

"I... I wanted to apologize." He heard. "I've acted without thinking, putting people in danger, I... I didn't even remember your name, and I..." here she gritted her teeth, as if she didn't want to remember what she said next. "I think I may have even threatened to kill you after... after I blacked out."

"It's nothing." He replied. "I'd freak out if some armored man was carrying me through the forest, too." The girl seemed to shrink a little in reply, as if she wasn't expecting nonchalance and forgiveness about her previous actions.

"I'm so sorry, Pius." Oh, so she was calling him by name. That was new, too. "I want you to know that I will never forget this day, and that I... I want to be your partner, till the end of Beacon."

Pius immediately shook her hand in response, his grip warm even though his gauntlets were cold to the touch.

"Thank you, Urujauni." Pius' smile was small, but genuine, as if the ashes that clouded over him were blown away for just this once. "I would like to be your partner t—"

He stopped and let go of the Atlas girl's hand as he walked back towards the lake. At first, he thought it was just a natural aspect of the lake, tides mixed with the strife of combat. But, looking at it from the edge, Pius could tell that it wasn't natural.

A massive ripple had issued from where the temple was, turning all waves in its direction before another one surged.

That...that can't be. Pius thought. The ashes returned, and gray consumed his eyes as he searched for the presence.

Pius' Semblance allowed him to see that all sixteen initiates were still alive, albeit a little winded from the day's events. All but one of the Grimm that attacked them was dead, its presence like a shadow in a room full of lights. But Pius saw something else under the water, something terrifying.

When Pius saw Grimm in his Resemblance vision, he saw them as just little voids, pockets of shadow while other living beings had the light of a soul inside them. But this...this presence...was more like a black hole than a shadow, so large and powerful that it threatened to consume all the lights, and even lesser shadows.

And, for reasons that Pius didn't understand were the faults of himself and the initiates with him, it was waking up.

"Oh, no." he uttered at last, shock entering his expression as the gray fled back to the safety of his irises.

The Arachnophobia fell into the abyss, its body striking the rock below with a resounding *crack*! This sound echoed through the ravine, building up until the vibration pierced through the rocks and below the lake, where it fluttered around his body like an insect with too many hairy legs, annoying and prickling it.

It opened its eyes, and was awake at last.

Teams CRGS and DRKR would feel the vibration as the ground rumble, and see the ripples from the lake as well. Team BLAD fell over as one vibration interfered with Chelsea's bounce, though they were safely in the forest.

But they all needed to be a lot farther than that if they were going to stay safe.

Team CRGS would be thrown eastward when he emerged, and Tara and Jack would be sent flying back northward as an unstoppable force rose and repelled everything as it ascended to the surface.

The Morder was furious. Its prey was getting away, and here it was in the lake! It had to go after them, or it would have to settle again for the fish that inhabited this lake. The crocodilian Grimm built up its speed, and prepared to vault onto the land above.

(*rumble*)

...Wait, what was that?

(*Rumble*)

No, it couldn't be him. He is supposed to be dead! The humans built this temple to celebrate his defeat, forget his reality, mythologize his existence, make him a legend! If he was alive now...

(*RUMBLE*)

Nononononono! It had to get out of here, it had to—!

The temple shook apart as spines, massive and sharp,pierced out of the water and into the sky.◊ The proud, ancient stone set by man fell apart and crumbled on his back as he rose, brick and pillar falling into the water to be forgotten. The lake's water rose into waves that even lifted over the cliffs and into the forest, before returning to lower grounds.

The Morder attempted to flee from his might, but he had slumbered for many years now, and he needed a little snack before he could search for a meal. His jaws caught the already massive crocodilian Grimm in one bite, swallowing the dying Grimm into its burning stomach while it was still breathing.

The ground shook when the Kaijin and the Arachnophobia moved over the earth; he made it tremble before his might, every footstep impacting the ground with terrible, glorious purpose. The Albahlok called itself the Sky Lord, but he was the Sky Conqueror, the very air around him in agony of his presence. Water had parted before the Mizukage and the Morder; now it fled from the greater power that showed itself in the afternoon sun, running down its back like ants from a fire, and steam rose from its body like a great veil of smoke, showing his mighty silhouette to the beings below.

He was a large Grimm, standing upright at about fifty meters high, or about one hundred sixty-four feet tall. His powerful tail even longer than he was tall, and he settled it in the forest in between Teams DRKR and JUMP, crushing trees as it felt dirt and grass once more. He was covered in scars left by braver, greater men than these children, men who moved mountains and seas to defeat him. They would serve as an appetizer, before he turned his sights to whatever cities mankind had constructed in his absence.

Humanity would pay for its insolence, for daring to crawl out of their caves while he was a king among monsters. The humans' civilizations would burn before his might, and their precious Dust would be for naught against him.

He turned his head northwards towards the noontime sun, breathed in the air once more, and roared at last, ready to begin a new age of darkness.

After centuries of slumber, Kurira had risen again.

"Watch out!" Pius yelled as Dies Irae turned blue to protect the trio behind him. Raising his hands, he bent the water that threatened to crash into them until it moved around them, washing away rocks and muddying the dirt. Pius looked up and saw what the presence was, and then he wished that he didn't.

It was powerful, it was massive, and it was Grimm.

Pius could barely stand to look at it.

"Get back to the cliffs!" He commanded, a harsher tone replacing the one he had a minute ago. "I'll give you guys a head start!" Dies Irae, with the exception of its feet, glowed yellow as Pius prepared to strike it with lightning. He fired four beams, one from his helmet, another from his chestplate, and the last two from his gauntlets, that converged into one lightning bolt and struck Kurira in the side.

If anyone was still standing when Pius fired, he turned around and rebuked them for standing there.

"What are you waiting for?" Tossing the card to Urujauni, Dies Irae's chestplate and boots glowed orange as Pius prepared to go airborne.

"I'll catch up later; now get out of here!"

Pius fired his jets and flew upwards, intending to distract the enormous beast for a couple minutes before joining the other initiates.

At least, that's what he told himself. Really, he just wanted to make it hurt before he had to flee.

Run or Die. Your choice.

Rufus.

Grunted.

"Agh! Shit! Consarnit!" Ayers yelled, seeing the massive tail crash in parallel to them. "Davros, c'mon! Let's find the big Pyrosaur momma and get some friends!"

Kurira was awake at last. But he was not as strong as he was once. It annoyed him, but he knew he had to get stronger before he resumed his campaign of terror.

Those human who sealed him had done him a great annoyance. Where would he find that much food? He turned, looking for the best place to go. He saw Beacon, paused, considered...and turned away. No, too small.

Kurira didn't even feel Pius attacking him. It was inconsequential to him, not even an ant bite. The great King of The Monsters began to move, his steps creating earthquakes, his tail lashing, destroying trees.

If the teams didn't move, they would be squashed....

BLAD

Belle was already pretty worn out from her battle before. But now it definitely time to Run. She channled her Semblance into Chelsea one more time to give her an extra boost.

Team BLAD

As Chelsea tipped, Ayers held up his arms. "NO! WE GOTTA GIT TO THAT GRIMM!" He roared. He held up his arms, caught the four of them, arms straining, and pushed again. It wouldn't launch them like Davros' pogo stick, but he could at least right them back up to a standing position, and Belle could augment Chelsea enough to get them to make up for lost ground!

DRKR

"Awwwwwwwwwww shit. That. Is one big motherfucking Grimm. This ain't good." Remus said as he stepped away from the massive tail. "GUYS WE SHOULD GO!" He shouted to the others.

Team JUMP

Dies Irae's gauntlets released lightning bolt after lightning bolt as Pius aimed for Kurira's eyes to get his attention. His helmet, replacing a yellow glow with a red one, fired a sonic beam at Kurira's head. Pius was trying to locate its ears, to try to cause some discomfort to the Grimm, and to distract it long enough for the initiates to escape.

Kurira actually felt that. Well, felt it like a person would feel an ant on his skin. Annoyed, Kurira looked down as he continued his march northward.

Lifting its gigantic foot, it attempted to squash that ant.

CRGS

Ice blinked. Everything changed.

One moment he had been firing at the Arachnophobia, the next he was sent flying as this humongous Grimm burst forth from beneath the temple. As he soared through the air, he pulled out the large Kinetic Flame crystal from earlier and charged it with as much Aura as he could spare before loading it and firing at the eye he could see. He smirked, there was no saying how much damage it would actually cause but with a target that big, a hit was almost assured.

"Madam, deposit me and FLY!" Rufus ordered, "Everyone RUN!!!"

Team BLAD

"Tch, that thing isn't even fun to fight." Lumen muttered as he looked back at the giant thing that surfaced. Shifting gravity to create a horizontal instead of a vertical pull, Lumen along with the rest of team BLAD set up Chelsea for the fastest. Speed. EVER.

Team JUMP

Pius felt a little stupid about landing while releasing his barrage, because then Kurira simply lifted his foot and moved to step on him. Releasing jets of fire from his jet pack, boots, and gauntlets, Pius dodged the massive foot as it struck the ground.

Damn, can't anything pierce this thing's armor? He thought as he realized the absolute nil he was accomplishing.

The forest seemed to shake when Kurira put his foot down, so Pius went up into the air and flew parallel at to the right of the Grimm's head, continuing his assault. But this time, Dies Irae's left gauntlet glowed a stark, bright white, and Pius raised his hand to release a concentrated white laser at the side of Kurira's head.

Let's see if this can cut through to him...
