Alfred backstepped quickly a few times, before aiming at whatever looked like a good location to hit and stun the creature. This time he combined 4 bullets, and out of the barrel was shot a large mass that was very similar to a drinking can.

"And ahm gettin' them leeches off as best ah can!" Noa roared, smacking one last Grimm away with a mighty backhand. "Fuck, these griblets gonna get fried up when ahm done wit 'em-"

Noa flipped the giant toad off with both hands.

"FUCK YA! FUCK YA 'N YA MOTHER, FFFFFFF-"

Clearly, her temper was flaring up.

"Shit" Was the only word Glen managed to get out before the T-Rex's tail collided with him and sent him flying into the trees. After a few seconds of being airborne, Glen eventually crashed into the ground rather spectacularly. Glen sat up after a few moments of recovery, hefted Mors onto his shoulder and roared his Clan's battlecry (which isn't much more than a litany of swearing) as he charged back towards the hulking obsidian beast.

CLAW

Wulfric and the Albahlok were shoved by Charisse onto Leah and Ai's improvised slingshot, and the two girls fired them both out towards the lake. The draconic Grimm landed right on top of the rising Ishmael, knocking Wulfric to the side as the tentacled Grimm was stunned. The aquatic monster panicked, wrapping its limbs around the sudden attacker to choke it to death.

Too weakened by the four initiates to escapes, too winded by the impact, and too arrogant to die by the Ishmael's grip, the Albahlok sucked in a final breath and roared, blowing itself and Ishmael to the depths. Water rained on the initiates from the explosion, as well as bits and pieces of both Grimm while their large carcasses began sinking into the water once more.

With that done, Team CLAW went north together, where they eventually climbed up a mountain in pursuit of the temple.

Built over a chasm that may have once served as a hub between the two cliffsides, there sat a ruined tower with a Beacon Academy flag placed at the top to mark the relics' location. Unguarded, with nothing to challenge them. Easy peasy, right?

Then, something massive flew overhead before perching on the temple. Its wingspan was well over a hundred feet wide, and its unnatural tail made it over a hundred feet long as well. It was an Avis, an avian Grimm more armored than something like the Nevermore, but not quite as slow as one would expect. It sat there, passively waiting for prey to catch its eye. The team needed to get the relics underneath it, and they would probably need to get the Grimm away from the temple too.

We Need a Distraction, people!

MANN

The Gula continued its assault, launching wave after wave of explosively corrosive tadpoles at Veronica, damaging the paint every time so much as a drop splattered on the vehicle.

Then, with one mighty burst in its legs, the toady Grimm leaped through the air, intending to land right in front of Mack's car and rip the machine to pieces with its tongues. But in the meantime—

"The belly! Take it down!" Alexia yelled as she rolled down a window and aimed Pax at its underside. It was a window open for only so many seconds, but the princess was making each one count as she shot at the amphibious monster.

Ah yes, it was a beautiful victory over the King Taijitu. Alice had its scales draped over her neck. She had chewed on what you'd refer to its 'organs' for quite a bit now. The fight was easily won when she decided to be a man about it. "Hm?" she perked up when she heard a vicious roar in the distance. "Oh oh, another one!?" Alice cried as she drew her sword and blade. "TIME FOR ANOTHER GO!"

"Huh." Leah scoped out the Avis, staring it down. The Regalia deployed into Manus mode and began feeling around in the air. She connected it to her Scroll, and began taking wind measurements. The wind may have been going one way, but not only would battle perhaps leave shockwaves from attacks, but impurities such as metallic dust or cordite would be detected. "I don't think that we need to attack it. The other two teams are presumably locked in battle, or perhaps venturing here now. We ought to meet up with them, or perhaps direct some of the other Grimm in the forest into the, ah..."

Leah gave the Grimm the elevator eyes. "Avis. Like a Nevermore, only tougher. Total bastards to fight, had to work on some specific stuff to kill them in Schnee. Damn shame I didn't know we'd be up against this, or I'd have brought a..."

She looked around at her team. "Do any of you have a gun attachment on your weapons? I was figuring I'd attach guns onto The Regalia later, but... I'd have brought some Avis Obliterator rounds to melt that damn thing's plating if I knew we'd be fighting one, or if anyone could actually load it. All attacks will either have to be from blunt damage—easy enough if we direct some of the dumber Grimm towards it—or precise slicing and stabbing attacks—again easy if the Avis is distracted by other monsters. We ought to try to salvage whatever plating we can, it's a fine and strong material."

"Gun... attachments?" Charisse parroted, a bit puzzled. She looked at her two scythes. "Well I'm not sure what the second word means but I know that I can fire one scythe out of the other, and that I've got this"

With the added emphasis, she combined her two scythes into Gaea Bellica, lifting it up and pointing to the middle. "That right there is a gun. It's not very long reaching though. Its what you'd call a 'shotgun'. And I'm not sure that these blades are very precise. They're damn sharp though."

GLAM
The Grimm groaned and growled as Mandy's cannonfire impacted it, each shot leaving dents and craters of varying size along its body as it stomped its feet. Each time its flesh was blemished, the surrounding area melted over the cavity and filled in the gaps. It let out a roar that caused its previous one to seem like a whisper by comparison, and sent out a funnel of fire in Mandy's direction. The hump on its back burst open, and a pair of wings emerged from it. They were small at first, but flapped rapidly, growing in length with each flap. The wind was picking up as well, and intensifying the flames it was shooting.

By the time Glen had run back, the hump had completely melted down, and its wings were each wider than the Grimm was long. It stopped shooting out flames, gave a mighty flap of its wings, and looked like it was about to take flight.

And Alice was totally able to see this shit or something, if she wanted. I dunno if that last post had her heading towards it, or staying put, so just do whatever.


SCAM
The tree didn't stop spinning as Hiiro had hoped. It kept rolling right at the team, picking up speed. As it rolled over Ghatz, his tactic caught several of the long branches, which were ripped right out of the ent and now flopping around randomly.

As it continued along in its roll, and got ever closer to Alfred, his shot smashed into the Grimm. Whether it was stunned or not, no one could tell for sure, as its momentum caused it to continue rolling. But it didn't seem like it was speeding up at the moment, and was slowing down ever so slightly, though still at a fast enough rate that it would be on top of Al in several seconds.

Off in the distance, somewhere on the other side of the trees that surrounded them, they could hear a bestial roar.


MANN
"Well fuck, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!" Mack said, slamming on the brakes to stop Veronica dead in her tracks, and throwing it into reverse for a second. Flipping the switch on Veronica to put her in hover mode, and put max power into heading up as he spun the car around, heading straight towards the Gula's mouth.

The fire singed Mandy's right arm as she rolled out of the way. "Aaaagh! You're gonna pay!" she growled at the beast. She was certainly not about to let it get away.

Activating her semblance Mandy's heart rate momentarily sped up, along with everything else about her making it seem as though time had slowed to a crawl. With this burst of speed she rushed forward and jumped attempting to clamp onto to the Grimm's leg.

Well, this just makes things more interesting mused Glen as he took a running leap at the T-Rex and stabbed at it, praying that his aim would be true and that Mors would hold once he landed his strike.

"Guess I'm not the only one who doesn't have a gun. Seemed like everyone had one except me."

Ai tested her rope-dart shot. There was a click, but no propulsion, just a pathetic jump a few feet away and then the yo-yo hitting the ground. Ai reeled her weapon in the old-fashioned manual way and checked the Dust chambers. Both containers were empty. She ejected the empty containers.

Ai shrugged.

"I'm at a range disadvantage without Dust. I won't be able to rope-dart or slingshot like this," she said. "Partner, you have a gun, don't you? That seemed to work pretty well for distracting the Hydrein."

"Right here." Wulfric tapped his wrist as the barrel of the weapon extended from the back of his hand, in between the two blades acting as his claws.

"... And, yes, it'd be a nice plus if we managed to take that thing down, but it could as well be a waste of time if we don't manage to..." he added, nodding to Leah before glancing at Ai's yo-yo.

"Hm, looks like that rope could be thin enough to go unnoticed... Think it's strong enough to, say, stop that thing in flight?"

As it gained altitude, the Grimm shook its tiny little arms at Mandy when she grabbed its leg, its tiny little hands making tiny little fists at her, but its tiny little reach meant it was unable to touch her. It swung its tail at her, but couldn't manage to get the tip to wrap around far enough to hit its leg, especially when flying made it difficult to contort that way. For the moment, it resorted to shaking its leg as best it could.

It let out a grunt of pain as Glen pierced its lower torso with Mors, shards of obsidian falling away, raining down on the ground below. Like before, its body around the hole started to melt to cover the wound, but was quickly hardened again, as it was unable to do any repairs with the sword lodged where it was. Glen could feel that Mors was being slowly pushed outwards from inside of the Grimm, an inch per second, as the glass started filling the puncture at its deepest point first.

With another flap of its wings, it quickly was soaring high above the treetops as the hunters held onto it. From this height, they could see for miles all around.

Ghatz was unconscious for a total of 4 seconds before a healthy dose of insomnia and adrenaline did their job. Still a little groggy, he could see that the tree-thing (that had kindly ran him over and given him the gift of sleep) was rolling straight at Alfred. It seemed there was no stopping this things steamroll through the forest, until a certain bestial roar came from the thick foliage.

He got up, grabbed Eintreffen, and readied himself for a fight. He chose to ignore the tree, because if what he'd already seen was any indication, Al could handle himself against a tree. Whatever was still in the forest, however... Well, Ghatz wanted at least some of the glory. He hadn't actually killed anything all day!

"Probably. These wires didn't come cheap," said Ai. "Problem is, I can't grapple conveniently without propulsion. Someone will have to take the other end and carry the wire with them if we want to tie something up. For now, let's focus on our objective. We don't need to fight the Avis; it isn't technically our assignment. If we have to... well, hopefully we'll be in a better position to fight back by then, preferably with backup. We need to get to the temple first."

Quickly, in her mind, Ai took stock of their situation.

"We could swap partners and split up. Two of us would stay here and try to draw the Avis away. Ideally, those of us with guns," said Ai, looking towards Wulfric and Charisse. "The other two would rush to the temple, so both teams get a relic. Then, we rendezvous somewhere down the track."

Mandy dug her natural claws into the Grimm's flesh, giving her something to hang onto as she climbed and generally a way to cause pain.

Once she got high enough, she took aim with one of her mechanical pincers and tried to clamp down on in the wing passing by.

Leah continued taking measurements, scanning for anything else. She then unplugged and let the Scroll ruminate on whatever it had found, dropping it into her pocket. She eyed up the Avis again. "Hmm. Well, that sounds like a good idea, but it also sounds like what the Avis wants. Call it feminine intuition, but this feels like—did you guys ever play Grimm and Gallantry?" Leah asked, "Tabletop RPG, very fun, but there's this common pitfall that shitty GM's—that's Grimm Maestro—always do, where they really overtly present shit like this and give us no actual freedom in making choices on an approach. I think that if you guys open fire on the Avis it'll just come after you, then we'll be forced to kill it, like the GM wants." Leah grinned. "It's a common strategy with lower life-forms to present themselves in situations like this. I think what we should do is open fire, at least to start. We have the right idea there. However, we then immediately break line-of-sight with the Avis—it's a bird, so that's its best sense—and circle around to take the idols without it even noticing. It'll be too busy scrabbling in the underbrush to notice that we just left."

Leah looked up at the sky. "This sound good? If this really is just Ozpin running a shitty GnG LARP, we'll know immediately once the Avis just no-sells it and refuses to be tricked. If that's the case, we'll regroup and figure out how to tear it apart. Understood?"

"Hm, yeah, that works too..." Wulfric replied, pausing for a few seconds as he glanced around. "I was thinking on getting its attention and lure it into a trap, have it get caught by the yo-yo's wire in flight, then grab the relics and get out of there before it recovers."

"... That, or we could try and stay out of the thing's sight while we make our way over there. What do you think?"

Charisse looked confused again

"I didn't... I think you might have spoken a bit too quickly but..." She pondered for a second.

"I think I got the gist of it. Here's the plan right? I'll borrow one of Ai's disc things and strap it to a scythe, then I'll launch it into the air and I'll hang on and I'll stab the thing good. While I'm distracting it you guys get the things, and then give me some kind of signal and I'll try to launch myself off the thing."

She put her hands on her hips.

"Does that sound good?"

SAM
Fortunately for Ghatz, the tree's momentum that kept it going, also meant that it didn't suddenly turn around, and didn't bother him. As he looked around, he couldn't really see anything in the direction the roar had come from, just the trees. No footsteps, either. It seemed like whatever he had heard wasn't there anymore.

If he was wondering if he had imagined it, though, the same sound suddenly repeated itself. Less intense, but it sounded like it was closer. And higher up. But the trees and branches around the temple clearing were obstructing his view.

And then the treeline he was looking at exploded.


GLAM
The Grimm roared out as Mandy's claw clamped down on one of its wings. It wasn't a roar of pain or fear, it seemed like pure anger in this case. It turned its head slightly to gaze at Mandy with one of its black, unfeeling eyes. But it quickly turned its head forwards again, as it looked out onto the treetops below it.

Which, thanks to one of its wings being stuck, were getting closer rapidly.

The giant flapped its other wing frantically, but was unable to achieve any sizable lift, only a pitiful spin. It hit the treetops back-first, bending the tops of the trunks it was colliding against. Eventually, it smashed into a few trees near the ground, knocking them over as its back carved a short trench in the dirt. Chunks of its obsidian scales fell off as it did so, the sheer friction of the impact tearing at its back. But thanks to that friction, it quickly came to a stop in what seemed like a clearing.


SAM
From the midst of the trees, a large, black, winged, glassy-looking Grimm appeared, hitting the ground a few hundred feet from Ghatz.

As he noticed the metal ent rolling straight at him, Alfred turned around and sprinted to get as far as he could from the tree, but not before noticing Ghatz basically left him for dead, "You're gonna pay for that you motherfucker, once the initiation is over I'm gonna set ya straight with some traoining straight from hell." He mumbled to himself as he dashed.

As they spiraled towards the ground Mandy twisted her pincer in an attempt to break the wing, she didn't want it getting back up so soon. Soon the ground came up to meet them, and impact shook Mandy off sending her into the clearing ahead of the Grimm.

As Mandy got up on all fours, covered in bruises that she'd ignore,she watched the monster skid to a halt. It looked hurt. She could smell the blood. It ignited the lingering predatory instincts genes, and she rushed the creature trying to get at its neck.

Ghatz chuckled softly to himself as the Grimm burst dramatically from the trees. "So..." he said in soft tone, eyes locked on the near-transparent Grimm as it landed somewhat close by. "You're one of Ozpin's playthings. Making quite a racket aren't you?" he smiled like he was looking at puppy, before jetting off at breakneck speed towards the giant bird, Eintreffen trailing behind him. "LUCKY FOR YOU, YOUR ASS IS GONNA GET KICKED COURTESY OF GHATZ FUCKING MIENNE!!!"

Team SAM and GLAM

The giant "bird", as soon as its wings spread open again, was quickly revealed to be the T-Rex grimm, a Leviat. Its open wings only made its struggle to get back up harder, and it continued flailing along the ground, not getting much lift. Its tiny arms wiggled around comically.

Pieces, both large and small, of its glittering obsidian armor littered the ground, implying that there were some kind of weak points on it. Seems like it'd be a great time to exploit those potential weak points.


With a loud crash the Ent-like grimm, a Methus, finally came to a halt at the cost of some of its tree brethren. It appeared to be stuck among the splintered wood and heavy trunks, but it would probably get out eventually. Unless someone were to kill it, for glory purposes or what not, it'd be stuck there for a while, probably for a day or two.

Team MANN

Alexia's shot slammed straight into the grimm, sending the Gula tumbling as its momentum and balance were changed mid-hop. Instead of meeting with a slobbering mouth, Veronica's bumper was met with a shimmering read: defenseless belly. It gave a croak of surprise. Eyes bulged out, tongue stuck out. The Gula contorted around the car, its soft body doing hardly any damage to it, before bouncing off and slamming into the ground.

It bounced off it, and landed head first into the water. After a few moments, a visibly damaged Gula jumped back up from the blue depths, spewing out more tadpoles with a newfound enraged vigor. Tadpoles flew left and right in the air around the team, one even managing to damage Veronica's classy custom interior a bit.


Team CLAW

The Avis gave a loud screeching noise, before turning its head to preen its ruffled black feathers.
