Deactivating the Gravity Dust on his left gauntlet, Ferus jammed his shield into the floor in front of Jocelyn's prone form, completely shielding her from any frontal assault that may come her way, before turning to watch Coco scream all the way up on his way to the Nevermore. He may or may not have cracked a grin at the spectacle.

Unfortunately for the passenger, the Grimm was simply too large for such a tactic to work as expected. Sure, Coco's blade cut deep, but barely reached halfway down the width of the wing. Certainly not measly damage, as the Nevermore showed the first signs of pain since the fire, but not enough to stop it flying. It proceeded to frantically flap its wings while hovering in midair, trying to shake the unwelcome human off.

You never really get to appreciate how massive a creature like a giant nevermore is until you get up and personal with it. Coconut, latched onto its thrashing side as the beast was flapping its gigantic wings, was about as close as you could get without being eaten - something he'd like to avoid if at all possible. So, he clenched his teeth and straddled the wing joint to get his blade out, still holding its feathers with one hand.

When Coco had been a young lad, his parents had taken him to a birthday party one of their friends was having at some diner in the corner of town. Unlike most events they had brought their son to, this one stuck in Coconut's memory because of one thing - a mechanical bull everyone, including himself, got to try out. Cream briefly recalled getting tossed off in a matter of seconds as everyone around him laughed - where was that memory when he was trying to get angry?

Fueled by childhood saltiness, Coconut let out a victorious 'Hya!' as he pulled OTN out from the wing. His next move was clear - the boy began hacking away at the bird's wing like mad, not sparing any strength. With the wings flapping and thrashing as they are, the nevermore ended up hitting the blade itself. At some point, however, his attacks started getting... Sloppier. In a brief moment of clarity, he noted the fact that if he had started with attacks almost perpendicular to the creature's wing, his attacks now had an odd angle to them. Then, they had no angle at all as the boy slid off the side, entering a freefall. His mind barely registered it, too - if anything, the breeze that hit his face was nice and refreshing. Maybe when he hits the ground he could take a nap...

Prism slides to the side as Ferus takes over cover for Jocelyn, listening carefully to Coconut scream his way through the air. She shoots a look to Amane before gesturing to Ferus to take a picture - they don't know the next time they'll see the Professor smile like that - before listening to his determined cry and the sound of metal meeting flesh. Then it lessens, and then it stops - and Coco's falling now, isn't he.

Her wings spread open wide for a moment, before she's literally slammed off the ground by a gust that'd even make Ferus stagger. Reorienting herself midair, she intercepts the path of her fallen teammate, wrapping her arms around his waist once again - before another similar gust of wind catches her wings and throws her right back towards the treeline. Coconut would notice that Prism's grip around his waist is unusually tight, and she's buried her face into his back - too preoccupied trying to keep herself from panicking, her aim is actually off, and they fly directly into a tree. Again.

Prism takes the brunt of the collision with a small oof, her limbs now entangled with Coco. She hopes he's conscious after all that.

Unfortunately for Amane, Ferus didn't show any more signs of emotion, instead simply spectating as Coco stabs the Nevermore a few times before falling, and Prism's semi-botched attempt at airlifting him to safety. Well, they weren't too harmed, and clearly the Grimm had taken more damage than them. To add salt to the wound, an entire clip of precisely aimed bullets struck the neck of the Nevermore. If it wasn't going down before, it certainly was now.

Coco's blade stabs had crippled the wing of the Nevermore to the point that it couldn't keep itself aloft anymore, and the 8-round burst was the catalyst for it nearly nosediving down the cliff, raking up the grass and dirt as it slid. Before it could reach the members still on the ground, Ferus thrust Grimm Repetoiré forward, one of its firing chambers aimed directly at its head. Instead of firing another of its ground-shaking shells, however, a great thick metal stake impaled itself so hard in its skull that the entire length disappeared inside the head. No kill like overkill, indeed.

As the giant corpse started melting into ashes, the team would hear the sounds of rotating blades get less and less prominent, followed by the ping of their scrolls. -Evacuation of Verdea complete. We owe you our lives, Team CASA and co.

Prism's arms are still wrapped around Coco, only held in the tree by the awkward position of her wings and a leg caught in the crook of a branch. Shifting slightly as she comes back from the impact and dull pain of running into a tree, again, Prism looks around as she tries to find a way out of their precarious situation without hurting any of them further. If she shifts her wings just so, and reaches for that branch overhead, she might just be able to -

k-k-KRACK!

Amane and Ferus would hear the sound of a branch breaking behind them, right as Coconut and Prism fall to earth among a large number of leaves and twigs. Prism looks dazed, and only just manages to extract herself from out beneath the prone body of her team member, hobbling her way to a standing position by leaning heavily against the tree they just fell from. She looks up in time to watch the final wisps of Nevermore disappear in the afternoon sunlight, and checks her scroll - they've all managed to safely evacuate. They did it. Her team did it. A tired smile graces her face, looking over to the still-standing members of the team. "Only if we like, get it to go from somewhere. I'm a little bit wiped to deal with the necessary pleasantries of eating out."

Coconut barely registered the fact that he hadn't smashed his face into the ground, though the fact that he still felt himself slam into something made him more confused than anything else. He opened his bleary eyes, his usually light hair coated in sweat, falling on his face and blocking his sight.

"D-did I won?" he mumbles out. Good news is, he's pretty sure he won the bull ride. His dad's gonna get him a root beer float and a cowboy hat - what else could a kid like him want?

Ferus raised an eyebrow, then snorted with laughter. "You kids nowadays finish missions and instantly talk about food." The two other 'scouts' who had joined him also added their voices to the laughter. "Good hunting, Ferus. These kids got potential." The older one spoke up, raising his hand in a fist. Without looking, Ferus returns the fistbump.

"How's your apprentice?" he asked, looking at the other 'scout'. "Doing well, thanks to your guidance." Ferus nodded, before addressing the team--or at least, the ones still conscious enough to listen. "Hopefully none of you were naive enough to think we'd do this without actual Hunter support--these two are old acquaintances of mine. And don't worry--their involvement won't affect your end result. You've all passed your first initiation, and now we should get out before Goliaths arrive and stomp us flat." Pulling his scroll out of his pocket he sent the signal out for pick-up.

"Yeah Coco, you did won." Prism takes the time to notify the boy, smiling almost fondly down at his prone form. Looking towards the professor, she gives a tired nod of thanks to the scouts, and a slight snort at the fistbump - there's a relieved smile on her face at the idea of evacuating.

"Professor, would you mind helping carry Coconut back to the Bullhead? Amane and I should be able to manage Jocelyn between us, then once we get everyone on board it's all smooth sailing. Probably. I like the idea of not being tramped under a Goliath."

"Thanks, momma," Coconut mumbles before shutting his eyes. The fatigue finally takes over and the boy is out like a light. Chances are, he'd be out of it until they even got back. He was going to ask for a recap of what exactly happened when he wakes up, but for now, he sleeps calmly, dreaming of badass fights and cute girls.

Prism only looks down at the now-unconscious Coco, snorting slight at her new nickname. That's gonna make great blackmail when he wakes up. She then kneels, slinging Jocelyn's spare arm around her shoulder, before moving to stand. "I'll stay with these guys once we get to the dorm - they'll want to know what happened after they passed out. Ordering and picking up sounds best - as team leader, I'm using my executive power to request Pizza. And maybe sushi. Tacos if you can find them? Just get a bit of everything and I'll repay you when you're back. Like seriously - my metabolism's is a hummingbird, I eat enough for two of me, and I'm expecting the same for Coco."

Picking up the unconscious Coco with a surprising gentleness for a man of such size, Ferus looked up as the telltale sounds of whirring rotors and clanking machinery descended upon them in the form of their evacuation Bullhead. Escorting the team members carrying their Aura-depleted healer onto the ship first, followed by the two scouts-turned-Hunters, before stepping on the ship himself and signalling for the take-off, once the Bullhead was high in the air any passenger aboard could see a distant, yet abnormally large dust cloud headed in the direction of the unfortunate village. However, every single occupant in that village was already far, far away, and that was what mattered.

Upon returning to Beacon, the team would deposit both unconscious members in the Beacon infirmary, before heading out to order up a feast, which was thoroughly enjoyed by every member having worked up a well-earned sweat. The news had already spread about another successful initiation and a impressive performance, with even the knowledge of Verdea being decimated doing little to dampen the mood. To top it off, Team CASA would each receive from the community of Verdea, now relocated to a more safe location, a pretty large sum of Lien, enough for them to get an upgrade to their equipment if need be, or for them to use as they saw fit.

The team would eventually return to their dorm, exhausted but safe, when a message from Professor Ferus would find its way into their scrolls.

INITIATION DEBRIEF:

--Successfully held off Grimm long enough to evacuate all civilians
--No Grimm were let through to Verdea
--Strike Team successfully retrieved "scouts"-no impediment on mission success

Well done, Team CASA. --Professor Ferus
