Cobalt groans, waking up rather slowly. He'd fallen asleep while polishing Itami, and somehow managed to actually sleep with the quite heavy sword laying on top of him. Well, at least he didn't have to look for it. He sat up, looking outside and... "What the..." It took a second or two for his mind to actually figure out what was going on. A Grimm attack. "Ohshitohshitohshit!" He repeats to himself a few times as he sprints downstairs, Itami in hand.

 

[Yang Xiao Long]

"Yes! Now, Let's rock!" She said this smiling and her hair turning the crystalline orange of her Aura. She ran forward, and then propelled herself into the air with her gauntlet. From up there she let out a barrage of gun fire to group the Grimm together. Landing she smashed the ground with alot of her strength. "Now!" She grabbed the edge of it and threw the large peice of rock into the sky full force.

Cobalt ran downstairs and down the hall, only to be abruptly tripped by the unconscious body of Whi. "Oh goddamn it!" He mutters mid fall, landing face first. "I just had to wake up to this shit, didn't I? I couldn't have woken up at a worse time, could I? I really ought to stop complaining about this and get my act together, shouldn't I?" He asks himself, standing back up and poking Whi a few times with Itami to see if he was unconscious, or asleep. "I'd better get Whi to the infirmary." He mutters, picking Whi up and heading towards the infirmary in a full out sprint.

Teala, on the rock, Created multiple versions of herself which then continued to attack the grimm and then froze them. "Your turn" she yelled as she flipped off.

Penelope ran over once Cobalt got into the Infirmary. "What happened?" she asked worried as she took Whi into her arms. "Did you see what happened?"

Cobalt sighs, seeming slightly winded. "Damn Whi's heavy. Ughh." He mutters. "There's a Grimm attack going on! Shit has hit the fan! I LITERALLY JUST WOKE UP A FEW MOMENTS AGO!" He yells, taking a second to catch his breath. He was pissed off, confused, tired, and slightly scared. Not exactly a common combination of emotions for him, nor a good one.

Penelope sighed "Why do you think I am in here?" she asked as she placed Whi on a bed and held his hand as he slept. "You go out there Cobalt..... make them pay..." Penelope said

 

[Yang Xiao Long]

She smiled evilly as the large rock started to come crashing down at unstoppable speeds. She focused on it as it came down, her Semblance forming around the now astonished Grimms and their perch in the sky. She laughed and shouted "Bye Bye!" The web constricted and the rock was crushed into many smaller pieces that rained down and crushed other helpless Grimm , as well as the school itself. She moved to catch Teala as she fell but missed by about two meters. Then a growl alerted her to the large number of Ursas that had gathered around them. "After that I'm almost completely out of Aura... Also we need to come up with poises and a name for that move. Seriously though we're in trouble..."

 

[CombatReadyPenny]

Teala hlanded on the ground and perked up. "Not for long....... it seems Team TRON is coming back...." she said with a smirk. "You put your aura back and rest...... we got it.." she said as she started to walk forward

Cobalt nods. "Right...Right." He says before running out of the infirmary, only to notice he'd forgotten Itami and run right back to the infirmary, grabbing Itami and running out of the infirmary again. Right after waking up was DEFINITELY not a good time to be getting in a fight, but he had no time for those kinds of thoughts, he had friends to help!

 

[Yang Xiao Long]

"No, I'll..." She collapsed right there, she had pushed her aura right to it's limits, and couldn't take it anymore.

 

[CombatReadyPenny]

Teala faced the Grimm ahead of her and readied her blade. "Light Cycle!" She yelled and nothing happened for a moment. The Grimm ahead of her started to strike but all of a sudden fell over dead. Opal was on its head and spikes were protruding from the Grimms head. "Whats up Teala?" she said with a giggle. All of a sudden Grimm started to fly up in the air from the ground. Rik was clearing a path through the Grimm until he stopped in front of Teala "Ready as always ma'am." he said through his mask. The ground shook as Nick landed on his Hammer and looked towards Teala. He nodded his head and looked towards the Grimm. The four of them were the top of the chain in un-official teams. "Lets protect the school." Teala said as they all charged forward and attacked, they seemed to be clearing the Grim and combo moving all over the enemy

 

[JackOfHearts]

Cobalt arrived at the scene of the fight rather quickly, but it seemed that everything was already under control. However, he did notice that Calm was lying on the ground, so he ignored the fighting rushed over to her, hoping that she wasn't dead or injured. "Calm, are you alright?!"

 

[Quincunx]

(OOC: @The Unamed Beast , could you please use a darker color of teal next time? The one you used is so light that it's hard to read. @Everyone, now would be the point in time where it'd be a good idea to make shelter. Desert nights get cold.)


The Ursa pack converged on the group of fighters in one direction, and the building collapsed in the other, creating all but the smallest area of safety. That portion of the school would no longer be accessible, and anyone in it would be separated from their friends.


As if sensing the danger, or maybe the grief of another student, the Grimm suddenly backed away and ran from the school, scattering in different directions. The quickest Huntress might be able to strike a few if she tried, but other than that, the night would end quietly, in retreat, wreckage, and cold.

 

[Yang Xiao Long]

"Uuugghhh, Did someone get the number of that truck?" Calm stirred abit and sat up. She sat up and looked around. "Awwww they're getting away!" Calm said getting to her feet as the Grimm fled. She looked around at the desert night and the shattered moon. Then it hit her, the school was in ruins. "There is no possible way that this was an accident!"

 

[CombatReadyPenny]

Team TRON stood among the bodies of the Dissolving Grimm. "The Grimm have retreated!!!" Teala yelled as all the teams cheered. Teala returned to the area with Calm. "I think we should get to some shelter now... the rest of Team TRON will take care of everyone."

 

[Yang Xiao Long]

"If you say so, hey where's Pearl?" Calm agreed with her friend but worried about the other. Around them was rubble and ruins of their home and it pained her to look at it.

 

[CombatReadyPenny]

"Whi went to go get her" Teala said as she lifted Calm up. "Now come on.... lets get you too the infirmary.." she said then looked to Cobalt. "Hey..... help them clean up okay?" she said as she walked with Calm

Cobalt stood there silently, staring at the ruins of the school with his fist clenched. "Whatever goddamn shitheads decided to pull this bullshit are going to wish they had never existed. I'll shred them to fucking ribbons and bathe myself in their goddamn blood." He whispers to himself before putting on a quite obviously fake smile and heading off to help with cleanup.

 

[AssaultAndBattery]

Marun ducked to the right as he shot out a right hook onto a Beowulf, sending it flying. More perceptive students would have noticed the Beowulf stopping, seemingly waiting for the pugilist's fist to connect, but all of the students were busy fending off the Grimm to even notice. "You sure you can handle yourself here?" A student asked, gripping his mace tightly before smacking an Ursa that got too close aside. "I'm very much sure. Also, Ursa." He blankly stated, the student giving a 'huh' before the same Ursa smashed a large paw into the student's face, rendering him unconscious as it raised its paws again, this time smashing the body over and over, brutally mauling him to death. A gross, pulpy mass of flesh, bones and blood was left after the Ursa was finished. "Good boy. Now, shoo." He said to the Ursa, it growled in understanding, before leaving away.


He was on the rooftop of one of the smaller dorms within the campus, a vantage point to observe the condition of the students. He gazed at the battlefield that was once of Shade Academy, frowning as he saw thay the students now shifted on the offensive as team TRON joined the battle. They're slowly becoming a nuisance. Not only are they providing an excellent counteroffensive against the Grimm, but they also serve as a morale boost to students fighting alongside them, lessening the negative emotions the Grimm feeds on.


No matter, the second wave should arrive soon. They, along with their "special" entrance, should make things easier. He smirked, before pulling his scroll up from his pocket. Opening the Clock app, he grinned madly as he saw the remaining minutes left on the timer. '00:15:00' it read, just enough time for the second phase of his plan.


He grabbed some dust and dirt from the ground and smeared it all over himself, before quickly making his way down to the courtyard, "fighting" past the Grimm as he did so. He arrived near the group of students crowded at the large entrance of the main building, looking his best to act as exhausted and worried as possible. "Thank God you guys are doing well." He said, panting every couple of syllables. "I need your help, I saw some first years running to the rooftops thinking they can escape the Ursas and Beowolves, they're going to kill themselves if we don't make it in time!" He pointed at the top of the main building, a large flock of Nevermores suddenly encircled the rooftop like a hurricane of black death. He wasn't completely lying, he did see students scrambling to the stairs, it was just that he was the one who directed the Nevermores--his Nevermores-- to attack whoever appeared on the rooftops soon after.

 

[Quincunx]

Once she was certain she was out of sight of the students, covered by Grimm and darkness, Pearl made her way up to Marun's vantage point on fan, unafraid to climb and walk on the rubble of the roof when her cover could be blown otherwise. "Nice one," she said, gesturing to the second wave. "Looks like the plans are in motion." She sat down on the roof of the tower. "What are your plans after this, Mar? Mine are to come home and rest for a while, before transferring to Haven. I heard there's a woman there who lives in the same marsh as the water equivalent of an Alpha - I want to talk to her. But first I have to get home."


(OOC: this isn't Cinder, although I did choose Mistral because Cinder hails from there. This is secretly the Spring maiden, who uses her powers for evil. This story is set before students from RWBY's canon becomes relevant, though.)

 

[AssaultAndBattery]

"I honestly don't know." Marun sighed, having a minute of thinking before coming up with the best possible answer on his mind.


"I guess I'll go wherever the winds of fate take me to." He ominously said, before smiling optimistically. Perhaps destiny still had plans for him in the future?

 

[Yang Xiao Long]

"Is that Pearl on the roof? Dammit put me down Teala we need to get her before she gets eaten..." Calm forced her way to her feet. She felt almost like an older sister to the younger Faunus. She inhaled deeply, she wasn't hurt just tired. "Stay here I'll be back." She ran over towards where Pearl pearl was, running over bodies, rubble, and evaporating Grimm. I'm going to make who ever did this PAY! She used her shotgauntlet to jump up to there perch. "Pearl it's dangerous here! Let's go!" She looked really upset but was happy that Pearl was alright, and completely unsuspecting.

Pearl grinned at Marun, out of Calm's sight, and used her fan to fly down to meet her. "Thank goodness you're alright. It's getting awfully chilly; you want to find somewhere intact to hide out in?"
