Fortune adjusts the wire on his earphones to make sure it's neatly tucked behind his collar and out of the way. As he does this, both of the imminent attackers are just about upon him. Any moment now, they would begin their assault.
That is, before the poor sod clinging to the wall is harshly flung off the wall with force and slammed into the ground below with a yelp and a long, drawn-out groan. Argent looks over at the man and clicks his tongue.
"Perhaps I'm getting some reinforcements early. How nice." Argent commented as the other attacker landed on the other side of him, straight from the roof, two smaller but still thick and heavy axes in his hands. The man was massive, dressed in all white save for a white, gold and black vest over his chest. His hair was just as white and reached below his neck, two sizable horns sticking out at the top. He let out a hearty laugh.
"Come on now, Rapid! Taken by surprise so easily! You should always be ready for an attack!" the faunus called out to his ally, currently staggering back up and stretching out the small of his back.
"Ah, sod off, Ifu! Nobody said Fortune'd have backup!" the man grumbled and looked up at Akel, rolling his neck. He was about thirty, his frame wiry and his features sharp. His eyes were narrow, seemingly flickering golden pupils staring up at her. He was dressed more casually than his comrade, with urban camo cargo pants and a tank top, his hair cut down to a buzzcut.
'Rapid' flicked his hands to the sides, what appeared to be simple metal bracelets around his wrists sending out small, sharp blades caught by orbs of aura at his finger tips. "You take Fortune, I'll deal with the bat here!"
"We had a meeting about this, Rapid. Racial sensitivity!"
"...Girl with bat-like features."
"Better!" Ifu called out before charging at Fortune with a roar, the man swiftly sidestepping and taking a defensive stance, though not a perfect one. Rapid, meanwhile, continued to stare up at Akel as if evaluating her and awaiting her next move.
It seemed the battle had begun.
