The Battle of Heaven
The Angra Mainyu crashed into the ground, as both Noiri's sneak attack and Remus's arrow completely destroyed its wings.
It snarled as it tried to flap its wings uselessly. Then, it howled as a great explosion rocked the battlefield, flames spreading outward from where the monster fell.
"Got it," Lucas said to Alexia. As he proceed to dodge the shards of wood sent his way, he pressed a button near the bottom of the handle of one of the chain-scythes. The chain began to retract, and he snaps the two ends back together, then proceeds to quickly set up the string.
So, distract it by firing at it. An ice arrow would be best for the situation — if it hits, it'll at least be partially frozen, and if it misses, then the beast will be concentrating on me rather than Alexia...
Grabbing one of the ice arrows, he proceeds to fire it at the Demira...
Earth
The Demira roared at Lexi, the attacks from Pius distracted it, causing it to try and shoot its breath at him, only to give Lexi the opportunity she needed to stab up into its torso. The creature gagged and spluttered before grabbing her, ripping her away from it, leaving the sword in and trying to crush her with its clawed hands. Lucas' ice arrow smashed into it with full force and froze a portion of its head, blinding it on the right side. It screamed and charged forward, attempting to smash her head first into Pius. Jack's attack on the floor boards caused it to stumble, tripping on its own feet as it fell forward. Now there was a much worse predicament, the risk of Alexia being crushed underneath it.
Sea
Ieria analyzed the target carefully as her semblance subsided, looking for any weaknesses in armor or stance. She raised her claws and aimed her twin flame throwers at the creature before unloading both at it, loosing twin streams of purple fire at the beast.

"Not to mention some pretty cool abilities." Yun told Ai. "One of my old classmates, a Gecko Faunus, could cling to walls and the ceiling...scared the crap outta me the first time I saw him do that."
Lori's comment drew an amused smile from the teen. "Lori, I think the Professor wants to know a bit more than that, like why you came to Beacon to become a Huntresses." Yun said, then cocked his head and added. "Unless the muffins at Beacon are that good, in which case I might need to try some later."

Pius felt the Demira's breath attack singe his left side, but he had learned how to ignore burn pain like that for a while now. He was able to dodge the Grimm's blind charge easily, but then he saw Jack's attack trip the monster right on top of his partner.
"Alexia!" He cried out as he flew downwards, aiming to tackle her away from the beast's falling body and to safety while Jack and Lucas took care of the rest.
Meanwhile the Aquavern was not having a good time. Ghatz's overhead strike had stunned it right on the head, allowing Alfred to repeat his manuever over and over again until the Grimm swatted him away with its tail. But by then the monster had lost a wing, and then Ieria reentered the battle with with her flamethrowers, dousing the beast in fire and causing the aquatic Grimm lots of pain. The beast moved out of Ieria's range, clearly weakened by the triple onslaught. Ieria could see that there were multiple openings in the remaining wing, as well as gaps in the armor around the Grimm's neck.

Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%...The Battle of Earth
Alexia could barely see what was happening, as the Demira was falling toward her. At least I stabbed it. It should be easy to take down now...
And then she was tackled away from danger by a pair of strong arms she recognized as her partner's. Next thing she knew, she found herself being carried bridal-style by Pius, blinking up at him stupidly as her mind froze. Yet again.
"Er, hi?"
....Smooth.
She shook her head, getting herself back to reality. "Um, thank you for the assist, Pius. A-anyway, I've weakened it with that blow, so I think we can finish it now. So, um, can you, um, let go of me? So we can get back to the fighting?"
Grimm Studies
"Right." Pius replied as he let her down, either not noticing or ignoring Alexia's verbal stumbling. He turned to see how Jack and Lucas were handling the Demira, his mind focused on the task before him. Whether the other pair was doing well or badly, the Nobel said the same thing: "Let's kill it."
Flying upwards again, the Nobel fired vengeful bolt after bolt of lightning at the Demira, hoping that he and Jack could suppress it long enough for Lucas and Alexia to deal a finishing blow.

Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%...Damn it! She could have gotten killed!
Lucas didn't give himself a lot of time to mentally kick himself over not figuring out what Jack had been planning on doing, though. There was still a Demira to slay. He could always talk to Jack about that later.
He pulled out another arrow and fired it at Demira again...
Ocean
Al was swatted by the monster's tail, hitting the wall, however he barely flinched from said attack, and immediately used the time to get to the pole and swing him up, nearly getting the man to the ceiling, he then went downwards towards the beasts neck.
As Alfred hoped to finish this fight as soon as possible, he went for a finishing blow. The left and right gauntlet both transformed yet again, this time nearly everything but the engine and the barrel going away. Two chainswords, much longer than the one used before appeared, using the power of gravity and momentum to try and sink the blades deep into the beast's skin where its armor had been broken. If they got inside, once they did, Al would rev both up, they both started rotating while inside the creature's neck, doing a serious amount of damage to the Aquavern's insides.

"I was bred," Rufus finally spoke up, his eyes still intently drawn to the battle. He watched as the princess was nearly crushed beneath, "And born for battle." My father was a pretty weakling, and taught that if he could not be strong, he must find beauty in strength. And so he seduced a drunken huntress to get me. "Among the Snikersnax, you must be strong. If you're not strong, you must be beautiful. If you're not beautiful, you must be smart. Thankfully, for lack of other traits, I was strong. I was trained to fight." And bred to like it, the scion of a long line of berserkers. A monster in men's skin to fight other monsters. "This is what I do. This is what I was made to do. This is what I will always do." This is what I will die doing.

Yun's comment about the gecko faunus gave Ai an idea. She set it aside in her mind for later.
"At least not all of us have to be gloomy and introspective when we're talking about ourselves," said Ai, as she petted Lori's head affectionately.
She turned to Ayers.
"It's not the kind of mistake that I can fix, because I wasn't the one that got hurt. I just have to make sure that it never happens again," she said.
"Oops. Sorry..."
Lori felt thoroughly embarrassed. This was a question on why she became a huntress, and she had answered with "Muffins makes me tick!"
"Well, I want to become a huntress because I want to protect others. No one will live in fear on my watch!"

Ayers shrugged. "Eh, yeah, I git that. Can't exactly un-kill someone'r hwut ever it wuz y'all did." He also tipped his hat at Lori in acknowledgement. "She's got the right ideer, though; I don't got no ree-morse fer my arms. Don't think it's worth thinking about. Yeah, it'd be cool if'n I could, like, feel stuff real gud agin, but it ain't too bad. That Pius kid's strong'nall, but he don't know when he shouldn't act like such a fuckin' retard."

#TeamBlue
The fox faunas kind of keeps her ears pinned and looks down to her feet, not really open to talking about herself at the moment, and even if she was what would she say? How could she explain why she joined? To protect others while her motivation is about the most cliched thing you could say, and for the forces behind it? Trying to claim asylum in vale, who would understand that?

"Pius has lightning in his belly. Violent and focused to point of actually becoming unfocused. A hatred that has narrowed his view into a blinding flash and terrible scream, until there is nothing left. No light, no sound. It gives him incredible power and it will be the thing that destroys him."
Blue Team
"I don't know why they're here, and I don't really care to find out. I just know I have to hunt them, and I know that it's fun to do that. I'm sure Pius can have more than one motivation. Deep down, he probably enjoys it too."
Charisse looked down again at the combat. Conflict was the driving force of life, after all.
"Being poetic doesn't get anything across. Save that for when you become a bard or something. Just speak clearly if you want to say anything."

"Gimme your pants.. and now your other pants"Rufus turned an eye to Ayer before it zipped back to the fight, "I believe you're lack of introspection is one of your more fatal flaws, Ayers." He shrugged his shoulders.
"And Charise, I am obtuse and poetic by nature." Something like a smile flickered on his face before it was gone.

"Hey guys, settle down. You're making him look pretentious," said Ai.
She winked. "You're not like that at all, are you Rufus?" she said, jokingly.
"You're right, though. Hate is a strong weapon and a good tool for shooting yourself in the foot. I should know."

"That's a wee bit of an understatement there Rufus." Responded Glen "You seem tae be lookin' too deep in tae things and making them tae be all negative. Sure, this Pius lad may hate Grimm, something that can understandably be seen as a weakness. But I believe that he could easily turn this rage against Grimm tae his advantage if he learns tae respect his enemy. You're being too damned poetic about something that does nae need poetry."

Heaven Battle
Remus flung another ice arrow up as he caught the amazing flying Sophie/Khayla, spinning around to account for the momentum as he locked the arrow falling through the air into the bow and fired at the Angra Mainyu's other wing. "Khayla shatter that one."
