Just kill it? Certainly straight to the point. Luckily Pyre was that kinda gal. A smirk flashed across her face, and it just as quickly faded as she dodged away from the Geist's attack. The party was engulfed in a brief darkness before Pyre continued her seemingly fruitless attack. Clearly not pleased with the outcome, the Geist sent another in her direction. And another, and another, and another, each seemingly more frantic than the last. Pyre did her best to continue lighting up the monster between her maneuvers, but its attacks chipped away at the margin of error of her dodges until finally she was forced to plant her feet and smash away its attack.

Pyre had a brief moment of respite, but that's what it wanted. Taking advantage of her mental lapse, a second attack quickly followed the first and sent Pyre crashing into the far wall of the stairwell. The area was illuminated no more.

Considering how it went the first time, Pyre smiled brightly at Tina's request, but that feeling was short-lived as she dropped to the floor, barely dodging a large rock that was tossed their way. Getting back to her feet, Pyre quickly attached her backpack to her weapon while the others devised a plan of action. As soon as Nathan was finished, she leapt off the edge of the stairwell with one of the palms facing back toward Tina and Nathan gesturing "stay".

Pyre momentarily shot her weapon's thrust toward the ground just enough to avoid the shock of landing, switching it off to readjust the direction toward the Geist, and flipping it on again to engulf the monster in flame, blinding it from seeing the team and helping the team see it. Pyre, a bit worried that her stalling tactic might piss off the Geist, turned her head back and yelled out, "Plan!"

The ruins lit up Pyre's imagination as she thought about how wondrous it might've been in the past and why it was left in such a dire state despite its proximity to Beacon. She lit up her hand, aiding her faunus vision with the pockets of darkness scattered about, as she wandered about looking for the relics, whatever they may be. Pyre's ears perked up at the utterance of her name and she jogged over to Nathan who was standing at the entrance of a dark hallway and asking for her to light the way. Pyre obliged, lit up her other hand, and motioned for Nathan to follow as she led the way down the hall, the walls of which were now tinted a slight purple.

The integrity of the hallway was surprisingly intact, for now at least, and the reverberations of Nathan's steps grew evermore echoey as they went along. Turning a corner, she briefly squinted before waving her hands about and her pace slowed until finally coming to a stop. Pyre held out one palm facing Nathan, signaling "Stop", before taking a couple more steps, leaning over, and saying, "Echo! Echo-echo-echo-echo" She turned back to Nathan, "It's a pit." What was once a stairwell was now basically a couple-story drop, the stairs themselves damaged but still potentially descend-able for anyone wanting to tempt fate.

With the cutting of her thruster, Pyre waiting a moment after dropping off Tina before landing herself. In a semi-controlled manner, she tumbled along the ground giving herself a nice coating of dirt and loose foliage in the process. Eventually coming to a stop, Pyre popped onto her feet and let out an audible "Phew!" as she patted herself down as best as she could. Considering it was her first time even attempting a lift, Pyre was thankful that it was as successful as it was despite the rough landings for the both of them, although Tina clearly didn't feel the same way. Pyre jogged on over to her, helping to clear what she could of the remaining mud as well as verifying that all her equipment seemed there.

"Don't worry, I'll work on it." With Tina's belongings seemingly in place, Pyre smiled and gave a go-ahead thumbs-up to Nathan before turning to follow Cyrus.

With Cyrus angrily chopping his way through the forest, Pyre seemed to be getting a taste of his personality. With his boisterous personality, she understood his mood but she still hoped that it wouldn't cause them any more trouble. Thankfully, they seemed to be in the clear, at least for now.

Coming up to the river, Pyre gave a thumbs-up at the mention of being able to fly across before attaching her backpack to her weapon to refill its Dust capacity. As she did so, she watched as everyone else started to prepare themselves as well to cross the river. Everyone but Tina. Finishing up her refuel, she clapped her hands once and walked over to Tina with a smile. Pyre gave Tina two pats on the shoulder before answering her request, "I gotcha, get ready!"

Pyre broke into a sprint along the shore of the river, giving herself a running start before igniting her weapon and taking to the air. She flew straight and up for a few seconds as she calibrated herself to the terrain and then took a sharp turn back in the direction they had come from. Pyre scanned the canopy until she was able to find a good opening before taking a hard u-turn and shooting down into the trees, leveling out a couple of meters above the forest floor. As the river and her teammates raced back into view, Pyre beelined for Tina, holding out a hand so she could carry her across.

Pyre welcomed the embrace from her fellow bird faunus, though she did feel a tinge of fear at the thought of potentially getting squeezed to death. Thankfully that feeling didn't last too long as she was soon released from Cryus' grasp. Pyre gave Cryus a hearty thumbs-up before turning towards Tina and returning her meek wave with one that was wide and energetic. As Cryus beckoned the team onward, a timid Tina passed by, her eyes glued to the ground. Pyre let off a soft "Hmm" as she watched Tina trail behind Cyrus.

Turning back to the issue at hand, Pyre looked around the immediate vicinity looking for her weapon only to find it several meters away thanks to the guidance of Nathan who gave her a quick point in the right direction. She wrapped her hands around the handle of her weapon, nudging it around to see how badly stuck it was, before suddenly jolting it back and forth like a dentist ripping out a tooth and popping it free from the earth at last. She smirked, satisfied, before following the others making their way toward the objective.

Pyre gave Nathan a couple pats on the back as a thanks for his assistance and realized he was still soaked from the battle. She inflamed her weapon and angled it slightly toward him, an offer to assist him with his situation.

After a few tugs, Pyre's head eventually popped out of the ground; with a few added sound effects, it would've seemed almost straight out of a cartoon. She squinted and shielded her eyes. As soon as her eyes readjusted to the light, she pressed her hands against the ground that was currently 'above' her head and balanced herself onto a handstand. Pyre took a few steps away, each accompanied by a random noise, before performing a quick, acrobatic maneuver to get back onto her feet. She quickly brushed off any remaining dirt on her body before extending a hand out toward her freshly-minted partner.

With a bright smile she said, "Appreciate the help! I'm Pyre. You?" She looked at him expectantly.

Pyre adjusted her flight path, constantly keeping an angle on the kink in the Deathstalker's armor. Although this made difficult by the Grimm's erratic behavior and the thicker tree lines alongside the stream, she managed to stay zoned in. As she closed in, Pyre seamlessly switched off the thrust of her weapon and kicked out her back-foot to flip the weapon handle up into her hands. She took in one last breath and held it in as she smashed her mace into the right side of the Deathstalker.

A sharp, sickly cracking sound reverberating through the forest and Pyre's flames flashed from purple to near white before immediately extinguishing. Her body was flung from the impact side, landing near the shore and loosely tumbling for a couple of seconds before coming to a rest. Working back, the Deathstalker lay with a large chunk missing from its body. Further beyond that, in the opposite direction of Pyre, was her mace sticking up from the ground, the head of each was deeply entrenched in the earth.

Pyre circled above the trees, stalling for time as she watched the battlefield unfold beneath her. The other pair skirmished with the Beowolves that were once chasing her and her partner faced the Deathstalker alone--a clear signal that they were expected her to do something. Almost as soon as that thought entered her head, it was leaving again as a soft giggle. Pyre had taken to the air to survey the area and then strike where needed, and it looked like it was needed on the Deathstalker.

She continued to watch as her partner masterfully damaged the beast's playing. Unfortunately, it was at the cost of it being an easy target as it thrashed about as it attempted to unseat him. Finding the opening she was waiting for, Pyre activated her semblance, engulfing herself and her weapon, and rocketed toward the Deathstalker, approaching the weakened side at a 45 degree angle.

""Get ready!" Pyre shouted. A rare occurrence to be sure.

Regaining her composure, Pyre made her way back onto her two feet. Taking advantage of this brief reprieve, she took a gander at her fellow student, now made partner. Pyre gave him an energetic thumps-up, but before she could introduce herself, a Deathstalker reared its ugly face over the ever-so-slight ridge overlooking the stream. Pyre prepared her weapon but was caught off-guard as the beast reared back, pelted by sudden volley of gunfire. Pyre turned her head just enough to catch a glimpse of a giant, eye-catching man and a short woman, two guns in hand. A smirk flashed across her face.

Pyre turned back to the Deathstalker and watched as it started making its way down the slope. Her eyes darted side to side scanning the ridge-line, but her brows scrunched as she wondered where the pack of Beowolves had gone. Were they scared off by the Deathstalker? They seemed intent in catching her so surely not, but it was impossible to tell. Pyre let off a soft hum before she made up her mind. She turned to her partner and pointed toward the sky.

"Hey, I'm going up."

Pyre gave herself a running start along the shore of the stream before activating her weapon and shooting up through the break in the canopy directly above the water, a bellowing flame trailing behind her.

Pyre pinballed off the surprise body and into a tree, tumbling the rest of the way down the gentle slope into the calm stream below. Face-down, the cool water swept briefly over her face briefly before she jolted up to her hands and knees, the front of her clothes now soaked and dripping. and wet strands of hair dangling down in front of her face. Her breaths were quick and sharp as Pyre took a moment to regain her composure.

Occasional gunshots and the clanging of weapons faintly broke the otherwise calm air surrounding Pyre as she continued to progress towards the ruins--it was a shame that none seemed to be coming from straight ahead. She shrugged off the idea of an easy meet-up with other students and instead turned her thoughts back to the forest. Besides her encounter with the Ursa, Pyre has been in the clear for a good while now, but she wasn't sure if this was to be expected, especially with all the other commotion, or if she has just been lucky since then. And so, unsure of her exact circumstances, Pyre made sure to keep her weapon at the ready.

As she ventured further into the forest, the brush became more dense, the trees more plentiful, and Pyre more uneasy--she was slowly losing both her visibility and her mobility. The rhythm of her breathing was slightly off from before, and while she remained confident in herself, she knew that confidence could only do so much for her.

Pyre froze, a sudden rustling stopping her in her tracks. She turned towards the disturbance and readied herself to swing, but as soon as she did so, her ears started darting every which way around her. 2, 3, 4, 5, a few more than even that but too many to count now. Certainly too many to fight alone. Surrounded. Before Pyre could even mouth off a swear, a Beowolf lunged at her from behind. She quickly shifted her stance for a swing on the lunging Beowolf, but with her eyes and ears trying to keep track of the others, she couldn't put all her power into it as it would leave her too vulnerable.

Pyre hit the Beowolf with enough force to let out a nice thud and knock it to the side, but with the lack of oomph, it was only enough to briefly deter the beast, not kill it. One by one, the others charged at her through the brush, but with her managing the flow of her stances, she was able to respond to each one, albeit barely. With the initial wave done, Pyre quickly decided that's all they were getting. She brought her weapon down horizontally and pointed the tip ahead of her. Activating the trigger, a bellowing flame shot out, licking at the trees and foliage around Pyre as she did a nice little 360 sweep. The pack of Beowolves recoiled from the flames, and with that, Pyre switched off her weapon and booked it towards the nearest opening of the encirclement.

With the receding of the flames, the Beowolves quickly regrouped and began pursuing Pyre who was now, thanks to the chaotic fight, without a sense of direction. She fought for every inch of separation she could, even riding her weapon in short bursts whenever the forest cleared up just enough to do so. Unfortunately, those opportunities were few and far between. All Pyre needed was a good break in the canopy so she could make an escape. Or perhaps she'd run into other students so she could stand her ground. Flight or fight, it really didn't matter at this point. But with Pyre's luck so far, she was hoping for the latter as she was itching to return the favor.

Pyre and the Ursa charged one another, their first blows colliding with one another with such force that the recoil froze their bodies with each hit. As much as she wouldn't have minded a head-on duel with the beast, this was only the beginning of the mission and she couldn't waste too much time and energy here.

Pyre let off a soft hum as her feet lightened, and she continued to parry the Ursa's attacks until finally an opportunity opened up. Instead of taking the beast's blow head on, she danced under the attack and, using the momentum of its miss, she dug her feet into the ground and crashed her weapon into its side to send it flying into a nearby tree. The Ursa groaned and tried to shake off the hit, but before it could recover, something shot through its torso and impaled it to the tree. It let out a ghastly howl and frantically swiped at the object protruding from its body but to no avail, partly because the object was already deeply entrenched into the tree and party because the flames spewing out of the object was keeping it that way.

Off to the side of the flames, Pyre walked up to the Ursa and stopped just out of reach. It switched from swiping at her weapon to swiping at her, but it was hopeless. Pyre gave it a curious look before raising her right hand. After it moment, it was engulfed in a bright, purple flame. She put on a warm smile, and with her left hand, waved the beast goodbye. As her right hand met with one end of her weapon, the purple flame shot up the shaft and engulfed the entire weapon. The Ursa let out another cry, much more sickening than the first, as the flames scorched its innards. Soon enough, it fell silent and its body began to dissolve away.

Pyre retracted her semblance and disengaged the flames of her weapon which had left a gnarly trail of charred forest in its wake but not much more; at the very least, she was 2 of 2 for not burning down the forest. Her weapon popped out of the tree with ease, thankfully, as her semblance has turned the lining of the hole into char and ash.

Pyre hustled her way through the forest, twisting and turning effortlessly as she navigated through the brush. Eventually entering a small clearing, she paused and shifted her focus to her ears in an effort to hear if anyone else was nearby: she caught a hint of something straight ahead of her. Could it be another student? No, it didn't make sense. Pyre opened her eyes and readied her weapon.

Pyre waited with bated breath as whatever it was seemed to be approaching faster and faster. She tightened her grip on her weapon, preparing to swing at a moment notice. Suddenly, the bush in front of her burst sending a flurry of leaves and twigs. Pyre's eyes slammed shut to protect her eyes and she blindly swung for the fences only to catch a whole lotta air. Before her whiff could carry her around in a full circle, whatever it was trucked into Pyre and sent straight into a tree. She fell to the ground, and when her eyes finally regained their focus, she saw an Ursa standing where she once was.

A grin spread across her face as Pyre got back to her feet, weapon readied and ready to face the beast head-on.

A hooded girl swayed to and fro, movements smooth and deliberate with her weapon in hand, to some music that another student was playing. It might've been hard to tell what was going through the girl's mind, but the faint smirk on her face told the tale if one managed to catch it.

As Alban stepped up to the podium, Pyre ceased her dance and her eyes became intensely focused. She dug her weapon into the ground, material be damned, and listened intently to his speech. As it concluded and students started getting launched, Pyre starting shifting her feet awaiting for her turn. When their eyes met, she muttered "Showtime~" as the smirk reappeared on her face. She gave him a peppy salute before she found herself flying through the air. She closed her eyes, spread her arms, and let her senses overwhelm her consciousness for the time being.

Rounding of the apex of her flight, Pyre regained command. She quickly eyed the ruins placed her weapon beneath her feet. Her mouth briefly scrunched off to the side of her face and her eyes focused themselves onto the forest below. Pyre activated the flame thrust on her weapon and pointed almost straight down as if planning to play chicken with the ground. She found the clearest spot she could and altered her flight angle slightly before flipping her weapon to slow her descent for a landing. Pyre painted a circle of char as she spiraled above the ground to stabilize herself horizontally before disengaging the thrust and landing smack dab in the middle of her masterpiece.

Pyre looked around, a hand on her hip, and made sure there was no threat of a forest fire. Satisfied, she looked back toward the cliff to adjust her sense of direction before heading off in the opposite direction.
