”Good afternoon and welcome back to the forty-first bi-annual Vytal Festival tournament!” a refined and silvery female voice would say through the arena’s sound system, secretly hoping the round 2 scripts wouldn’t be as bland. ”Today we have an assuredly exhilarating matchup for you! It’s hard to believe, but we’ve already reached the final match of the 1st year 4v4 bracket! Now, my partner and I are going to run through the teams even though you all probably know and love them already!” As impossible as it was, the roar of the crowd became even louder than it had been for any previous match. Plenty of Beacon flags could be seen in the audience, which was quite stupid considering both teams were from Beacon. As Prim continued, large holographic images of the members on Team CASA would circle the arena, with one notable blank image that looked like a placeholder. ”Alright then, I’ll start by introducing Team C(A)SA. First off we have Jocelyn Antiqua, who heals her teammates by shooting them! Keep a close eye on that ability, video game designers! Next up we have Coconut Cream, the pretty boy we all know and love! Let’s hope he paints us a beauteous picture with that semblance of his! And finally we have their leader…a Faunus, as you know. Prism Skylark uses the wind to their advantage by creating distance between her and her enemies.” The last introduction sounded notably dull, as if it were read directly from the script. ”Anyways! That’s definitely all of Team C(A)SA for you! Take it away with Team BSSM, Hunter!”
”Alright everyone, we’re gonna kick it off real fast here so we can right into the action!” The hype was palpable in Hunter’s voice. ”Starting it off with the most notable member of team BSSM, we have the finest sharpshooter that has the most accurate shot, Billy Boner! As for the literal sitting duck with his stupid gun, we got the immovable object Smokey Emberstone! Severin Avery, the man with a slightly bad sense of fashion is sure to trip up his opponents. Lastly, we have one Mikado Drak, the edgiest ninja of them all, he’s sure to gain the younger audiences love and support!” Motioning the spinner to start it off, Hunter furiously shuffles papers around in hopes that he can come up with SOME material during the fight.
A large holographic image of a lottery machine appears on all sides of the arena, with two spinners. The spinners spun so quickly, making it nearly impossible to make out the passing words. It ticked through the options slower and slower until it finally stopped on Wind Dust Field and Lightning Dust Field.
The floor of the arena lowered and, in its place, arose two new floors. On BSSM’s side, the area would be filled with rather smooth and rounded terrain as crystals of Wind Dust emerge from the ground. As for C(A)SA, the terrain would be more rough and rocky as crystals of Lightning dust emerge from the ground. In the center, most of the crystals of both types remain concentrated, making it really easy to set the other off and mix together.
(A coin flip has decided that CASA will get the first posts. The arena size is identical to that of the team arena in the show, however, it features scaled down biomes to fit the size. Good luck, and may the best team win.)

Prism lets Amane occupy team BSSM with her opening blitzkrieg, not needing to say any words before launching into the next phase of their opening plan, quite literally. Turning to nod once at Jocelyn, a harsh updraft sweeps through the opening gate and out into the arena as Prism spreads her wings, using it to launch up into the air. Pulling Hawk's Eye from her waist, the there's barely a second as she transforms the gun into it's primary form as she pushes nearly 15 meters into the air, coming to hover above the rest of her team.
With the better vantage point, Prism's first aren't any members of team BSSM - instead it's the wind dust crystals at the the feet of the team right as they emerge onto the arena, aiming to start a small chain-reaction of concussive explosions that'll send at least three team members flying, and force them to scatter. If any bullets happen to graze her opponents - well, that's just a bonus.
Attack Log: Attempting to kickstart a concussive blast of wind (5% damage on contact with the explosion, chance of knockback up to 5 meters)

Following her cue according to their plan, Jocelyn crouched at the same time Prism's gales kicked in and Steam Flower's wings extended, gently tugging her body away from the floor. "The winds blow our way," she whispered, before the nozzles of her jumppack erupted with kinetic force and she soared into the sky.
Now equally high as Prism but forced to stay mobile without the former's hovering capabilities, Jocelyn begins a very slow spiral down clockwise, pulling out Hyacinth and taking aim, though not directly at the enemy team--even though the gigantic cannon is a very enticing target--instead firing at more of the Wind Dust crystals, though further away from the original cluster that Prism first took aim at, with the intent of creating a back-up in case Prism's first trigger fails to detonate multiple crystals.
From her vantage point, she then reloads and sends another quick shot, albeit sloppily aimed due to wind turbulence, at the first person she laid eyes on, which so happened to be Serin.

Unlike the rest of his team, Coco didn't really have much of an opening move. He simply ran onto the field and took OTN off of his back, ready in case their opponents decided to engage in melee right away. Otherwise, he stuck near Amane - she was the only other member of their team still on the ground, after all.
The boy was certainly fired up, as evident by the excited expression on his face. Let them all come and face him if they must - CASA's swordsman would hold his ground!

Before the match began, there was a certain sense of unease in BSSM's corner. Or at least, there was unease from one member of the team.
"I can't believe we're doing this," Smokey said dejectedly, before turning back to the team and continuing, "Look, if we're doing this, I ain't stopping for beans, got it? It's gonna be hot, so make sure you're ready." And with that Smokey turned towards the arena and awaited the beginning of the match.
As soon as the match started, Smokey did three things. First, he grabbed Serin and Mikado by the wrist. Second, he activated his semblance. Third, he started running as fast as he could. The plan was very simple. Charge.
Unfortunately, this guts-and-glory maneuver gives neither Smokey nor the two he's holding on to much room to avoid the initial onslaught of attacks, nor the blast of the wind dust explosion. It does however, completely negate the intended knockback effect, thanks to Smokey's semblance. Once Serin and Mikado manage to get their feet back under them from the initial blast, Smokey looks towards Serin and gives a nod, before shouting, "GO!" and chucking Serin as hard as he can towards the two enemies still on the ground.
With phase one under way, Smokey draws Matchstick and continues running, still keeping a tight grip on Mikado's wrist.
Smokey's Combat Log: Aura: 89% Semblance: ACTIVATED! 25 SECONDS REMAINING AT START OF NEXT TURN! Matchstick: 7/7 Dust: 14/14 Fire, 14/14 Ice

Crowds of people cheered loudly for both BSSM's and CASA's side. Many would see the cheer as a reserve of strength, a push to fight over his limit, but for Mikado, the loud screams were just annoying.
Kiro, an aura-creation which represented a small black dragon, was still sitting comfortably on his owner's head as he entered the arena with his team.
As soon as the fight began, he felt Smokey grabbing his wrist and started to run. He wasn't convinced of the plan, but went along with it anyway. When Serin was thrown forward, Mikado stayed with Smokey and continued to ran with him, all while taking Pock out. As they ran, Mikado focus on the two opponents infront, while Kiro's eyes locked on the two remaining opponents in the air.

Serin uncharacteristically nodded along to Smokeys uncertainty with the plan knowing that the general vibe was that it was ridiculous, but none the less he was really hoping it would work but it really depended on the terrain that was generated more then anything. The time to voice complaints was short lived as the doors open and the announcer, well, annouced. Serin anxiety was quickly replaced with adrenaline as the sound of the roaring crowd flooded into the small room that BSSM was confined in.
Sparing no time Smokey grabbed Serin and Mikado before the three of them made a beeline toward the middle of the arena, Serin using this time to grab a distraction bolt from his quiver and load it into the now opened Occams Razor which was going to target whatever person just hit him with several frustrating shots to his head. Just as he locked onto what appeared to some sort of gun carrying girl that he assumed the shots came from a massive gust of wind that had Serin thankful the ever immovable Smokey was holding onto him came from one of the wind dust crystals swept Serin off his feet delaying his shot.
Once Serin managed to back on his feet he realized that their little train had nearly arrived at the middle and he barely had any time left to make his very important shot before the big throw, the situation now forcing him to aim at the girls feet instead of her so there the bolt wouldn't hurt, ideally it will just blind. With not a moment to spare the bolt left Serins arm while Smokey began his motion to throw him giving the young team leader an unnatural boost of speed that if the girl didn't dodge would end up with her receiving a nasty slash to the face.

Billy was about to correct the rude announcer when she noticed the girl giving Billy a nod. Billy felt like she knew this girl, and that she was nice. The gates opened and she was struck by a bullet and remembered they had to fight even if she was nice or not. In loo of the 'Hype train', Billy opted to take a sneakier route into the field. As she ran from dust crystal formation to dust crystal formation, she felt herself get knocked around by the winds. She held on to one of the larger crystals until the winds died down a bit. She peeked over the side of the crystals then shot one round at Prism and one round at Jocelyn. Billy knew she knew Prism form the night Billy was practicing her semblance. She thought it would be fun to poke fun at her while they fought. "Hey, Prism! Why do hummingbirds hum?" Billy asked keeping herself hidden behind the crystals. "Because they don't know the words to the song!"

"C'mon, you've gotta admit that was a little bare-bones!" Prism calls back without missing a beat. Unfortunately for her, that means Billy's first shot clips her, before she pulls in her wings and drops a couple of feet to avoid the second one. Her rifle swings in her direction in response, firing off a single shot towards, before turning towards the steam train of Smokey and Mikado headed for the rest of her team.
Smokey's gun hurts, even when the firing isn't pointed your way. Landing a blow with that will be devastating, and it's not like explosions have stopped them before. Flicking her rifle to it's glaive mode - firing another shot through the butt of the glaive to give her some forwards momentum- she pulls a peculiar cartridge from a pouch on her ammunition belt and pops it into the back of the belt before twisting the base of the blade. A familiar frostlike sheen covers the blade, and she swipes it twice through the air in the direction of Mikado and Smokey, sending two icey waves flying towards them.

While the team hadn't been expecting their opponents to literally throw one of their own teammates at them, they had been expecting some sort of charge. Coco was close to Amane, but a bit in front of her - which was bad news for poor Serin flying her way.
Coco had fought enough fast-moving grimm to know how to time a swing. He grasped O.T.N. with both hands and swung wide, the blade aimed towards Serin's flight path. With the speed at which the boy was travelling combined with the force already behind Coco's attack, he was likely to get CLANGed pretty hard.

Cursing her over-reliance on her slow gliding and predictable flight pattern, Jocelyn folded her wings in and dived after being smacked by the first bullet. Those really hurt, and even managed to wind her, so she dropped on one of the sloped rock pillars, making sure to avoid any firing angles that the other team's sniper could exploit, and reloaded Steam Flower's Dust chamber with a motion that clearly was borne of many, many repeated experiences. Even under pressure, she could rely on her medical training to keep her hands steady, reducing the chance of error during a critical moment, which also applied to combat scenarios.
With the reload complete, Jocelyn peered through her thermal scope, giving herself spatial awareness of both her team, the enemy team, and her team's Aura levels. Knowing the exact positions of the enemy team removed the risk of being headshot while she scouted. Now armed with that knowledge, Jocelyn popped her head and rifle over the top over her cover, took one shot at Mikado and went back into cover.

One of Prism's rounds went straight into Billy's shoulder knocking her back between the crystal she was hiding against and the one behind her. She sucked in her stomach and the second bullet grazed her body down from her chest to her stomach. "Ow. That was too close." Billy said to herself before yelling out, "Come on Prism, name puns? If we are doing that I should just call you Skittles!" While Billy had some time, she switched cartridges of rounds from her normal rounds to electric dust. Suddenly the crystal was shot and Billy was thrown back, this time in between two other crystals. In the explosion, her hat was blasted off and flew off in some direction that Billy didn't see where. "Alright. WHO IN TARNATION TOOK MY HAT!?" Needless to say, she was enraged. She stomped into the battlefield and took a stand in the middle, where she cocked Longarm. Then quick shot an electric dust bullet at each member of team CASA she can see.

Serin thought for sure that he was going to hit the mystery girl when suddenly a sword appears out of seemingly nowhere giving zero time to evade and barely any time to brace against the weapon, the end result was no doubt going to be that his attack was ruined. Since he did manage to brace a little bit he didn't take the full brunt of the attack but that wasn't saying much seeing as he still took 17% aura damage and he feel onto the ground to the right of Coco.
"Where did you come from?" Serin asked as he began to close his eyes and grab a distraction bolt off his quiver before slamming it into the ground, the flash of light would still blind him but it wouldn't be as long-lived since he prepared for it. Not wasting any more time he activated his semblance positioning two of his puppets 120 degrees and all the same distance away from Coco effectively creating a barricade around the cream hair boy with Serin being to his back left, one being to the back right, and one being in front. Before his opponent got his bearings back Serin took the opportunity to rotate around so that he was now on Cocos back left and a puppet now stood where the real Serin stood only seconds before.
"Two can play at the appear from nowhere game" Serin said lunging towards Coco(and by extent having the other two puppets mimic the lunge) and slashing at his back with his left arm with stabbing at a spot 5 inches above that with his right arm, making sure that the puppet to Serins right(Cocos back right) hit the same spots to make it harder to distinguish between the real and fake attacker.

While Smokey and Mikado kept on running, the still small black dragon jumped from its owner's head and landed slightly laterally in front of the two running team members on the ground, increasing its mass and size by a multiple. The now fully grown dragon let out a loud roar as he opened his mouth to unleash a light blue beam of ice just a few feet infront from Smokey and Mikado. The ice built up in seconds, creating an icewall. The plan was to block the shots, but the time was just too short to creat a wall high enough to catch all the bullets. Instead, they were hidden behind the pile of ice that had just enough the time to develop, which meant that a few of the shots missed their target.
As the hype train continued to run forward, getting closer and closer to the icewall, or rather the Ice mound, Kiro stayed behind and sighted Prism, before firing another ice beam, which flew like a rocket towards the Hummingbird Faunus.
Back by Mikado, he felt a cold breeze on his shoulder and shortly after the impact of the aura crescent came down, however, he didn't let himself get distracted by that, and instead gave his teammate a brief glance. It was time.

Ice breath: 8% + Possibility of a limb being frozen in an ice block

Smokey watched Serin sail toward the mystery girl that he had totally never seen before in his life. He also watched another combatant literally step up to the plate and take a nasty swing at him. "Ooooh, that's gotta sting," Smokey muttered after a sharp intake of breath. Still, with their distraction...distracted, the gauntlet runners were about to run through literal hell. Good thing they had a contigency plan.
Seeing what was about to happen before it did, Smokey looked at Mikado and nodded, signalling to enact their contingency plan. As Kiro grew to full size, Smokey watched as Amane pulled out another weapon and pointed it down range, Prism shifted her weapon to a different form and...where'd other chick go? Huh. Anyways, Kiro only just gets started blasting away and making a wall when the enemy team let's loose. Fortunately, the ice breath itself managed to obscure the duo, and the shots don't quite hit their marks as hard as they'd probably like.
As the shots died down, the dragon stops breathing, and in it's place is a wall, and Smokey and Mikado are running straight for it. You see, Smokey wasn't kidding when he said he wasn't stopping for beans. Instead, an ash-gray aura rises from Smokey like the smoke from a steam engine, and Smokey points his revolver at the wall and fires. The next instant, Smokey shoulder charges the wall and crashes through the wall, shouting, "OHHHH YEAHHH!"
With the Blossom Hype Train through the wall, Smokey's next step is to throw Mikado just as he did Serin before. This time, though, Coco should be distracted enough that he shouldn't get a nasty hit in.
With both his hands free, Smokey continues running towards the CASA duo. He's almost in range to fire.
Smokey's Combat Log: Aura: 67.5% (Half damage from Amane's onslaught, avoiding the brunt of the ice dust attack, but taking the full brunt of the follow up attack (21.5% damage total)) Semblance: ACTIVATED! 20 SECONDS REMAINING AT START OF NEXT TURN! Matchstick: 6/7 Dust: 14/14 Fire, 14/14 Ice
Action: Kool-aid man-ing his way through an ice wall, chucking Mikado
I took a creative liberty with the ice mound/wall because I just wanted to write Smokey crashing through it. It's nothing more than flavor and fun. I'll edit it if it causes a conundrum.

"Amane and Coco, time to kite! Jocelyn, no more than 10% healing on Amane, prioritize longetivity and speedboost both!" Prism yells, firing a shot through the end of her glaive in order to dodge the bright-white beam of ice her way, and then another immediate one to avoid Billy's lightning-dust tipped bullet. Smokey threw another one of his teammates at her team, there's a fucking dragon shooting icebeams at her, and a cowboy trying to shoot her out of the sky.
This is incredibly stupid, and she really needs to do something before the earthbound members of her team get ganged up on.
Flying overhead of the hype train, Prism spends the final bullet from her clip propelling herself forwards, getting a better angle overhead of the hype train. She then goes to pull a bright-yellow bullet clip from her belt, loading it into her rifle and focusing onto what remained of BSSM charging her team.
Prism fires off two shots then - one electrified bullet streaking through the air to hopefully make contact with the massive dragon shooting laserbeams at her. Thankfully targets that big are hard to miss. The second shot is aimed towards team BSSM's immobile gunslinger, attempting to dissuade the midget hoisting around a giant canon from getting anywhere near the remains of her team. Still thankfully not to hard of a target to miss.
...as an afterthought, a breeze has gone to pick up the cowboy hat flung to the far side of the arena, sending it dancing up into the air.

Well, that was satisfying. A good way for Coconut to start the figt on his part. But alas, there was little he could do to prevent himself from taking damage afterwards - all these copies, he simply couldn't follow along with which one was real, especially not after being blinded by the bolt. But maybe he didn't have to.
Rather than trying to dodge or block an attack he couldn't predict, Coconut instead prepared his own. Gritting his teeth as Serin's blades struck his back, he went for a swing much wider than before. In fact, he spun his entire form around like a disc thrower of sorts, sending O.T.N. towards every instance of Serin around him, hopefully including the real one.

As a bullet ricocheted off the cover she was ducking behind, Jocelyn looked through the thermal scope once again to discern the current situation. Amane's Aura was lower than the rest of the team but in compliance with Prism's orders she held off on the healing.
What she saw through the scope did not nearly cover what was going on in the actual fight, however. There was a big-ass dragon all of a sudden, there were 3 Serins when she was sure she only saw one, and a broken ice wall with people barreling through it. What the bloody fuck is going on? With so many targets including two fake ones she didn't really know who to prioritise. Eventually she gave up and fired once at each member of the opposing team, though the rapid movement made her shots pretty hasty and less accurate than they could have been.

As soon as Smokey crashed through the wall, his triumphant shout was rudely interrupted by two explosions. Someone's gonna pay for that. Fortunately, Mikado is still firmly within Smokey's grip at this point, so any knockback is firmly negated. The improvised delivery system continues as planned, uninterrupted.
However, as Smokey loads the ice dust cartridge into his gun with his now free hand, he overhears something far more distressing: "Amane and Coco, time to kite! Jocelyn, no more than 10% healing on Amane, prioritize longetivity and speedboost both!"
Were they going to try and run away after he had come all this way just for them? Did they seriously think that would sit well with Smokey? Because if they did, Smokey would like to introduce to them 6 more barrels that would politely disagree.
Which is why when Prism aims her gun at Smokey, she'll be staring straight down the barrel of the gun that nearly concussed her a few weeks earlier. Smokey goes for the classic simultaneous shot, aiming to freeze Prism with his newly loaded ice dust and turn her into a sitting duck.
What ultimately happens, though, and probably much more to Smokey's benefit, is that Prism's dust charged bullet collides into the spread of ice dust-filled shot, causing the dust to discharge and the bullet to lose a lot of momentum. The spread, in kind, loses a bit of oomph, but still carries through, and still filled with a nasty bit of ice. If it hits, Prism won't be frozen, but she'll be a bit frosty and a little bit slower. Considering she made the effort to toss BSSM's sniper's hat into the air, Prism may want to avoid that outcome.
Oh yeah, Prism's dust crystal explosion and Jocelyn's shot also hurts, but Smokey's a big boy, he can take it. He's currently much more focused on boy doing his best impression of a whirly-gig. What was his name again?
"HEY CREAMPUFF! WHY DON'T YOU TRY FIGHTING SOMEONE WITH A LITTLE MORE MEAT ON THEIR BONES!" comes a very ominous shout, which would also inadvertently serve as Serin's cue to retreat from down range. Shortly afterwards, like the thunder after lighting, another blast fires from Matchstick, aimed at the swordsman's legs.
Smokey's Combat Log: Aura: 47.5% (Amane's throwing stars (6%), Prism's shot at Smokey (3%, heavily reduced by simultaneous shot, no paralysis), Lightning dust explosion (5%), Jocelyn's shot (6%) (20% total)) Semblance: ACTIVATED! 15 SECONDS REMAINING AT START OF NEXT TURN! Matchstick: 4/7 Dust: 14/14 Fire, 11/14 Ice
Actions: 1 Matchstick round at Prism (minorly reduced damage 11% + 1.5% ice (further reduced based on distance) and slowed) 1 Matchstick round at Coconut (15% +3% ice) + frozen to ground

Cocos swing wasn't entirely a surprise to Serin as it was a very logical move when he didn't know who to attack, this did mean Serin was able to jump back while his other two puppets were disintegrated by the attack massively reducing the amount of damage the attack Serin took to 2%. But without the protection and confusion his puppets created he found himself a easy target for Jocelyn whos shot should its target right on his shoulder.
"Not too bad of a idea now-" Serin was cut off by his boisterous teammate further down the arena prompting him to decided on retreated towards the rest of BSSM.
"Its been good" He said instead of finishing his previous sentence notching an arrow into his right arm and firing it at Coco before splitting off into two more puppets and scattering, the real Serin heading back into the wind dust by BSSM while having one mimic his movements heading straight towards BSSM and the third straight back from Coco.

Not even a second passed when Kiro sent a second ice beam after the first one. Prism's oncoming shot was streaked by the beam and covered in a thin layer of ice, which didn't slow or stop the shot. While the ice beam continued to fly towards Prism, Kiro got hit by the shot in the flank, though, thanks to the ice, the paralysis was ineffective, the damage remained however.
Without paying much attention to the damage, the dragon flapped its wings and let himself be carried back a few yards, still keeping an eye on Prism and also firing a second ice blast.
Meanwhile, Smokey and Mikado had bashed through the wall and were already greeted by two explosions. Thanks to Smokey, the knockback was prevented and he was, just as planned, thrown forward towards Amane. For a short time he was completely in the air, but quickly regained the ground under his feet, as he jumped forward for more momentum, dodging Jocelyn's shot in the process.
As Mikado was barely two meters away from Amane, he swung his bo in a diagonal line from the bottom up, aiming from Amane's left leg to her right shoulder.

Billy felt two bullets hit her, but no hat touch her head. She saw her hat blowing in the breeze around the arena. Still running on anger, she was quick to judge the situation. She knew it was out of her reach, but she needed it. So she decided to do the next best thing to lassoing her hat, lassoing the person who could get it for her. Billy sent out her lasso to catch Prism around the waist and pull her to the ground. "Prism I swear if you don't get me back my hat, I will turn you into some homestyle chicken!"

Prism just barely manages to avoid Smokey's retaliation, boosting the terrifying shotgun blast of ice in time to give her heels a frostlike sheen. The rest of Blossom isn't giving her any respite either, as she immediately needs to tuck in her wings and dive to avoid the second icy blast for Kiro - juuust in time for Billy's lasso to loop her around the ankle.
Okay, this is getting annoying. "Coco, don't let yourself get frozen! It's time to move! Jocelyn, let us know which one of those clones is the real one! Amane - kite!" Prism's orders are quickly barked out, scanning the arena for options as she valiantly fights against the lasso around her ankle. She can't stay in the air like this or she's going to get frozen, half her team's on the move but she's got no way to get to them now, and Billy's definitely to heavy for her to lift, so-
Billy.
A conniving smirk crosses Prism's face as she reaches for her belt, transforming her rifle into it's secondary mode. Loading a dust cartridge into the back of the blade, before turning to face the opponent attempting to pull her down to earth, firing off with a snap of her wings as she dives directly for her, the edge of her glaive shimmering a bright white. Slashing it through the air while she dives, Prism's initial strike is only outraced by two white cresecents flying through the air, aimed directly for Billy - following by Prism herself, bringing the blade of her glaive down against her opponent in an overhead slash.
At least this way, nobody can risk shooting her without hitting Billy.

...*Creampuff*?
Coconut had enough time to bring OTN forward and block the arrow - the shots at his legs were another story. While the boy narrowly avoided one shot, the other struck his legs, freezing them to the ground. All he could do was chop at them right away, but even that meant wasting precious time.
Well, he knew Prism wouldn't want him charging down Smokey himself. As such, once the ice was gone he hurriedly ran towards Mikado and Amane in order to help his teammate - though he couldn't reach them just yet.

Oh, right. Serin might be able to do kage bunshin no jutsu, but it wasn't like those clones emitted heat, unlike the real Serin with blood and sweat. "It's the one hiding behind his other two!" she screamed to try and get her voice over the noise of battle and somehow conversations that were being held mid-fight. Either way, she'd had enough of seeing her teammates get hurt.
Her teammates had done an amazing job of keeping the opposing side off her, in addition to the fact that team BSSM had seemed to forget a key part of strategy: never leave the support alone. Releasing the now empty magazine and swiftly engaging a new clip, Jocelyn fired two healing bullets at Amane and Coco, though she hesitated at Prism. The manoeuvre the team's leader was currently pulling could lead to her shot missing and healing Billy instead.
Combat Log: ● 1 healing round at Amane and Coco [+10%]

Satisfied that he'd stalled Coco, Smokey finally puts the brakes on the hype train. Instead of charging towards Coco and finishing him off, he instead heads into cover behind a dust crystal and starts reloading. He wants Coco and Amane to clump together, so he lets Coco free himself from the ice in peace. Instead he looks at the scoreboard and sees the most peculiar thing. Jocelyn's aura just decreases for no reason, while Amane's and Coco's meters rise. Wait, could that be--?
"That has got to be the most useless ability I've ever--"
*BANG!*
Smokey is interrupted from his thoughts by the cacophony of the flashbang detonation. It's loud, sure, his ears are ringing and most certainly temporarily deafened, but considering how loud his guns are this is far from debilitating. Looking back toward the source, he sees Amane emerge from the smoke cloud just in time to see the barrel pointed back at him. He ducks back behind the crystal as a few shots clatter in to it before it explodes. Now, hiding behind a volatile dust crystal might seem kind of stupid, considering it releases its payload when it explodes. But Smokey can handle it, and the added cover from the dust (the regular kind) and smoke it kicks up as a result makes the trade more than worth it. Smokey uses the brief cover to dash out in a fashion that forces Amane to twist her body even further to actually get an accurate shot. Between the awkward shooting position, the cover provided from the crystal, and the obscuring smoke that came as a result of its explosion, Smokey actually manages to avoid pretty much every bullet. That deserves a pat on the back.
Taking cover behind another crystal, Smokey finishes reloading the 4 expended shells and switches out the ice dust for fire. His current position is relatively close to the smoke cloud, and he's dimly aware Coco is inside. But quite frankly, if that guy wants to attack him, he'll be just in time for the group shot. Now if only he get Amane to stop running long enough to strike a pose...
Ending this round, Smokey flips the switch that transforms Matchstick into its 7-round Volley form. Between the base fire power, the dust in the ammo, and the lightning dust scattered around...let's just say the flash will be pretty bright.
Smokey's Combat Log: Aura: 42.5% (5% Lightning Dust Crystal Explosion) Semblance: ACTIVATED! 10 SECONDS REMAINING AT START OF NEXT TURN! Matchstick: 7/7 (Reloaded) Dust: 14/14 Fire*, 11/14 Ice
Actions: No attacks, reloading and exchanging dust cartridges, switching Matchstick to volley gun form.
Note: Smokey really was going to reload this turn, even before the flashbang. Between that and the unusual aura meter fluctuations on the scoreboard, I think Smokey has ample reason to avoid the blind
