Noiri's shots would impact the Gula's head, but the bullets would fail to hit the eyes while the toady Grimm hopped and fired tadpoles in reply. Veronica was slowly taking splash damage from the explosive spawn, eating away at the outer metal and paint of Mack's car.

Though it struggled, Wulfric kept pushing the Albahlok on towards the slingshot. One good shove, and the draconic Grimm would fly backwards through the air, right into the improvised slingshot.
Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%..."HEY YO I'M uh I'VE GOT THIS!" Charisse yelled, rushing in from behind. Moving into a more braced position mid-run, she put the entire force of her body and motion into the back of the Grim, sending it forward with a shove. She bounced off its back and fell over from the recoil.
"Gimme your pants.. and now your other pants"Team SCAM
"Hey!" Ghatz yelled, pivoting to face the pedestals. "We still need to grab the relics!" He dodged a crack in the ground. "C'mon!" He started running towards them, but shook violently as the ground swayed and cracked. "Oh, shit! I can't even move!" He ended up on his knees, afraid to move in case he fell right into the widening fissures. He then had an idea. He grabbed Eintreffen, and positioning it in front of him, head-down, he extended the handle, launching himself up in the air towards the relics.

Hiiro had come to his senses after a while. He had zoned out when the earth began shaking and hadn't snapped out of it till now. He quickly ran into the temple as fast as the Laws of Physics would allow him. He'd reach the temple just in time to see Ghatz leap for the relics.
"Be careful! It could be another trap!" He cautioned his future teammate. Wait…Future teammate. Right at that instant, it slapped him smack dab right in the middle of his face: he'd have to be paired up with "Hammerboy" and "Dickweed Sniper" for the next four years of his life. But he didn't have time to worry about that. He quickly equipped his Gauntlets and prepared for whatever was making the ground shake.
IT'S ME. Just kidding, it's Bob."Aw. There's no time like the present for a quick introduction," said Ai. "Alright. It's simple. All weapons are conduits for Aura, yes? Target the wires and your Aura will reach the reeling mechanisms inside the discs."
She called out to Wulfric.
"Hold on tight to that dragon, partner. If this works you're about to go really fast."
"Alright. I'll run an analysis, make sure we know what we're doing..." The Regalia flitted over Ai's weapon lightning quick, feeding information to her Scroll. "Alright. Wires, chakrams, sawblades. Understood."
Leah touched the ends of The Regalia to the weapons, folding around it like the petals of a flower. She took a deep breath, and suffused the weapons with her Semblance, removing half of the resistive friction that was holding Ai's weapons back. "Do it."
Ghatz ignored Hiiro's comment as he slid right to the pedestals. By now, things were shaking much more vigorously. As he inched towards the the relics, he stumbled, barely keeping his footing. A grimace was plastered onto his face as he stumbled towards the cards, both Kings of Hearts. "Damnit!" He yelled, as the reality set in that those guys would, in fact, be his team for the next few years. "I really wish whatever's down below us would just eat me already!"

Song of the Week: Find You by ZEDDAlfred ran to the pedestal with sniper still in hand, freeing one hand from the sniper's handle he grabbed the relic as soon as he could, he stares at the ground below him, deciding this way a better vantage point, he put the relic in his pocket and held his sniper properly again, inspecting the cracks through the scope for the coming monster.

Eventually Glen, Lloyd, Alice, and Mandy would see a large, open, somewhat circular area several hundred yards in diameter, which was filled with sand. The miniature desert was perfectly level and even, with only a small rock circle of rocks in the center, jutting out. All along the sides of the rocks were smooth, vertical carvings, as if they were man-made. In the center was a pair of pedestals, each one having a relic on it, and a sheet of paper with some writing on it was weighted down by one of the relics. They had found the temple. Or what was left of it, at least.
On the opposite side of the circle, the sand started to glass over into blackest obsidian. From the center of the glass, an arm shot out of the glass. As far as arms went, it was pretty tiny. No more than two meters in length, it was about as big as a large Beowolf's arm. It was black like the obsidian, and seemed like it caught all of the light that hit it, giving it the most eerie reflective property.
The rest of the grimm dug its way out of the glass. It was definitely not a beowolf. If anything, it was like a T-rex made out of obsidian, but it had a large, black, hump on its back.
It reared its head back, and with a roar, sent a pillar of fire out of its mouth and high up into the air.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
SCAM
The rumbling stopped for a second, and then resumed again, louder than before. Dozens of small fissures appeared in the ground, dirt and grass falling into the new cavities. Yet nothing came out. At the center of all of the fissures, the single tree that had been standing there remained. Considering how thick it looked compared to your typical thirty-foot tree, a small earthquake was nothing. It would probably remain there for all eternity, unchanging as it endured the elements.
Until it started to vibrate. Its bark began to change in color, going from the typical brown to a resplendent chrome color in a matter of seconds. All of its branches shook around violently, its leaves taking on razor edges as they bunched up on the dirt, and pushed with considerable strength.
The sheer force of dozens of branches tearing at the ground ripped the tree out of its spot, its roots now visible. There were four massive metallic roots supporting the Grimm's stance, while several long, thin roots dangled idly, dragging along like a dress now that they weren't taking nutrients from the Earth.
It slowly marched towards the temple, picking up speed with every step.

"No, not the paint!" Mack said. He triggered his semblance for a half-second, repairing Veronica's frame quickly, and making her shine once again.
"I said shake it off!" he called to Noa.
Ghatz gulped, intimidated by the giant creature now coming towards them. "Um... what the hell is that?" Was all he could choke out, before going into a ready stance and grunting. "Well, if it wants to play, we can play." Then, turning to his companions, with a slight smirk: "Right, team?" Sure, corny, but if they were going to be group, they might as well attempt to get along. Then, he swung Eintreffen in a horizontal motion, while stretching the handle out to hit the tree Grimm from his current position.
Song of the Week: Find You by ZEDD"HAHAHAHA! Its about damn time!" Mandy grinned as her heart lept, at the prospect of finally being able to indulge in her favorite pasttime, and cut loose. She whipped her tail, and let our a bestial roar back at the Grimm, acknowledging its challenge with one of her own.

The big bastard looked like he'd be more of a challenge then that Snake looking son of a bitch, plus it looked like Glen wasn't the only one eager for this fight too. "Well, what are all of you waiting for? LET'S KILL THIS FUCKER!" Roared Glen as he charged at the beast and swung Mors at it's legs when he eventually closed the distance.

"Shit! Ghatz, try to make a crack in its metallic carapace! Don't just randomly swing your hammer at it, concentrate your attacks on one spot!" Alfred shouted as he bared his teeth, he looked through the scope to any possible weak points, merged three bullets into one, aimed at whatever possible weak point he'll find to make a crack in the tree's metallic bark and shot regular formed bullets.

Hiiro overheard Al's strategy, and decided to help any way he could. He activated his "Enhance" semblance, which made even a simple punch at roughly the same strength as Ghatz' hammer. He then dashed over to the Grimm and began pounding away at one of its roots. "Hey! Hammerboy! Try to knock the thing off it's feet! Or roots, or whatever! Using gravity as momentum will make a stronger impact than running straight at it!"
IT'S ME. Just kidding, it's Bob.Ghatz grunted in agreement at Al and Hiiro's plan. He stopped swinging, and settled his footing. "Watch THIS!" He yelled with a big grin, and then he swung Eintreffen as hard as he could, aiming right for the monster's side in an attempt to knock it over, or at least put a dent in it.

Alfred's targeting of weak-looking spots caused the metal plating of one of the ent's roots to shatter, exposing it. It was still metal inside as well, but softer. Soft enough that Hiiro's blows caused the root to shatter after a few blows. With Ghatz's hammer... hammering... up top, the loss of the root made it lose balance enough that it toppled over.
It began to roll towards them, its razor-leafed branches cutting up things in its way, its massive trunk rolling over anything that the branches missed.
GLAM
When Glen's sword hit the obsidian grimm's leg, it left a long, deep cut on the limb. Almost as soon as the sword pulled through, the glass seemed to melt and refill the scratches, restoring its smooth, polished luster.
It rotated its torso and swung its large tail towards Glen.
"Aw, shit, I didn't think this shit through!" Hiiro said as he began running. He definately didn't see this coming; he forgot for a split second that the Grimm was round, and could easily roll, especially since he'd broken through one of its roots. But, his tactic still stood; as soon as it stopped spinning, he'd get as high as he could, and smash straight down into the Grimm. The , it'd be all up to Al.
IT'S ME. Just kidding, it's Bob."Damnit!" Ghatz pulled back the hammer. he didn't realize that this thing could roll right at them, blades spinning. Then he had an idea: He stood his ground, and stuck Eintreffen straight out in front of him, extending the handle yet again. He hoped he could jam up the blades and/or stop the trunk from rolling, therefore keeping it at bay, allowing Hiiro, Al, or Chloe to hit it while it was immobilized. He was a little worried he might break the hammer, but had enough reason to believe it would hold up to the sharp, whirling blades. He really didn't have time to think about it, anyways.

"Ack!" Noiri shrieked as she quickly ducked back into the car, narrowly avoiding the corrosive splashing of the acid.
"Can't you make this thing go any faster?" Noiri asked to Mack as she hurriedly rolled up the windows.
"Why does everything have to loop back to YGO?" -Guy who ruined YGOHunkering down, two large mechanical claws, made of seemingly organic parts unfolded from her armor and pointed themselves at the grimm. They opened up and the inner part began to glow before shooting a volley of dust shells at the creature.

"Oh, it actually crushes trees..." Noiri muttered. With no other choice left, she touched her short swords together, transforming them into a sniper rifle. She poked her head and arm out of the window, just enough to aim the weapon, and fired shots at the eyes.
