Griz chuckled at the faunus's antics, ignorant of any hostility. If anything he was glad he would have such eager opponents.
Sauntering into the clearing the arena made its debute. The area looked fairly simple. A grassy field complete with a few trees and shrubbery. A white line could barley be seen forming a large rectangular arena. Griz slowly walked over to the panel and punched in a few numbers and swiped his hunter ID. In a flash of light a barrier flung up around the area. It would allow things in but nothing come out until the match was finished. After yawning loudly Griz hung his jacket and jeans on the branch of a tree revealing a tank top and sport shorts underneath. He also pulled out his weapon "Twin Stars" before sitting down on one side of the arena.

"So everything should be set up and ready to go. Grab your weapons and choose a side of the arena. If you want to go 2v2 just stand with me or the other side of the field. If you wanna go battle royal just stand in a corner. But don't rush *yawn*. I'm not going anywhere"

Griz took this time to look at the sky. The endless blue seemed to be calling him. It would be a perfect spot for a nap...aw well opportunity wasted. The ram Faunus did some stretches to warm up and waiting for the spar to start.

Acero had been waiting almost 2 hours for some of his usual sparring partners to show up, only to get multiple messages saying that they "had other things to do." Acero was starting to feel kind of sad and lonely when he read the last message. He had recently left his home country of Atlas (where all of his friends and remaining family members lived), lost 3 body parts and was still without a team. But, as fate would have it, Acero heard the arena barrier go up. He went to investigate and saw a few first years getting ready to battle. Acero--not wanting to be alone for the rest of the day--said to the combatants:

Hey! You rookies training or something? My buddies kind of stood me up and now I have the rest of the day to myself and nothing to do. Do you guys mind if I watch your match? I'll even act like one of those Vytal Festival commentators if that's what it takes. What do you say?

[MonsterManic]

"S-sure?" Tina replied hesitantly."If the rest of you guys are fine with it, of course..." Already focused on the duel at hand, she was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of what looked to be a 4th year."As for the duel itself... I'll settle for a battle royale." she finished, lying back against a tree, roughly opposite Griz. She pulled out her dual revolvers, Sunrise and Nightfall and checked the rounds laying dormant within the chamber. All seemed well, and she was ready to go.

[Siuwa]

Catalina ran some thoughts. "Sure, I want a battle royale too."
He took another corner, called in his backbox and took out the rifle Got' eem, but not aiming anyone.
He took a closer inspection on it. "I'll protect you. No one will take you away from me."
Filled with this determination Catalina readied for battle.

[Mikelobmike]

Chris's years of hectic schedules made him adept at changing quickly. By the time he got into the sparring area, he had already taken off his sweatpants to reveal his fighting kit underneath. Taking his place in the unclaimed corner of the arena, he slipped on his elbow pads and started quickly taping his fists. Not my best work, but it'll do in a pinch.

"Sucks that you don't want to be on a team. You're very pretty, and it'll suck to have to give you a few bruises." he said to Tina, hoping that his complement will throw off the gunslinger.

[Timeworker]

Griz stared blankly as everyone took their places. One word was racing through his mind at that very moment. One sirene, elegant word. Fuck.
The ram Faunus had been hoping that they could just double team. Then he could just cut back and only do 50% of the work. But of course these guys wanted a battle royal so I guess he was just going to have to deal with it.
Slowly sauntering to his corner of the field his gauntlets emmited a low whirring hum as the kinetic dust activated. Griz already had a plan on how to handle this situation. It's not like he haven't done this exact thing before and won. After all he wasn't a tourney champion for nothing.
As he sensed the moment which the referee would start the match was coming Griz unleashed his aura he had been keeping under wraps..
He always hated this part, it always drew way to much attention. His aura flared widely as an explosion of power radiated around him. Aura bubbles fizzed and rocketed into the sky like a coke bottle on mentos.
Griz shared a lazy emerald filled gaze with the ref.
"Ok buddy I think we are ready to start on your signal."

Acero looked at the combatants and their weapons. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous when looking at their weapons (and fashion sense). He quickly cleared this thought out of his head and prepared to give announcements.

Alright, before we start, I'd like to go over a few things. First of all, if any of you go overboard and try to kill your peers, I will destroy you. Secondly, if your aura goes down, get to a corner and I'll get you out. And third, and this is more for me than it is you, if you guys still want to fight after this match, I'll be more than willing to be your opponent. Now, that being said, let's have a good match, good luck to all of you, and have fun. Now, let the game begin!

[MonsterManic]

If what Chris said was simply to put her off, it worked. Really, really well. Tina had to half-turn to stop anyone from seeing her newly acquired facial color and expression. Beneath the blushing, however, her heart was pounding. Not just from the adrenaline, but from another factor...

She was further thrown off balance by an explosion of bubbles, radiating from the originally sleepy boy. He now seemed like he could punch a mountain and be just fine. Ok... Not going near you. Period. was what flashed through Tina's mind.

Alright, before we start, I'd like to go over a few things. First of all, if any of you go overboard and try to kill your peers, I will destroy you. Secondly, if your aura goes down, get to a corner and I'll get you out.

Still somewhat off balance from the explosion, Tina reacted somewhat sluggishly, snapping both revolvers out of their holsters, moving away from both Griz and Chris, and, hammering the triggers, sent a total of 6 non-infused bullets (3% aura each) at Catalina. Let's see who's the better gunslinger here...

Alright, no special ceremonies or anything, cut straight to the chase. Fine.

Did someone shook a bottle of cola?

Just when Catalina pulled his attention back he saw he was being fired upon.
Blocking one bullet, dodging two and getting hit by the rest Cat fired a burst of three piercing rounds at the girl in retaliation but charged towards Chris because one thing.
"A few bruises"? What are you thinking? You want to break her and then...!? Not cool dude. Not cool.
He attacked in one big move, changing his weapon to hammer form and slamming down on the forehead of the huntsman-defeating schoolmate he is facing.
(Bullets: 3% each(weak for a sniper, I know))
(Slam: 15%.)
(Aura: 91%)

[Mikelobmike]

Chris bounced on his heels waiting for the fight to get started. Alright. Guns. This girl has two, and it looks like she knows how to use them. Need to get in close. Keep the fighting fist to fist. Hopefully, the other two will just sort themselves-GODDAMN! Chris' thoughts were broken when as soon as the fighting started he got a hammer coming at his face. An emergency use of his semblance in panic allowed him time to roll past Catalina's left knee. Change of plans. Chris came out of the roll on his feet, halting his momentum and changing direction. He took a step back toward Catalina and jumped, aiming a knee at the back of the boy's head in retaliation.

Griz smiled,
This was just how he liked it. With everyone going at each other they had all seemed...to have forgotten about him. Arguably the most experience fighter there...appearances can be deceiving. Griz let the kinetic dust in his gauntlets build up to full power as he made a move of his own. Slowly pacing himself into the middle of the arena he saw the events from the others transpire. Gun slinger to gunslinger then to Chris back to Cat. Honestly it was a game of rock paper scissors. Of course that was until Griz saw Chris dodge the hammer attack aimed for him with speed that would have even made some seniors flinch.

There is no way a first year has that type of speed...unless he has a speed semblance.
Seeing the attack Chris had aimed for Cat's head, Griz made a decision. There was no way someone like her could handle a guy like that in close ranged combat. So Griz was just going to subtly grab his attention...yes...subtly.
Flaring up his aura Griz smashed against the ground with dust and aura amplified strength. The result was a powerful shock wave that travelled to the ends of the arena. The earth upheaved itself and the once flat playing field had become filled with jagged rocks, boulders, and uneven land. Tina would have had plenty of time to dodge the wave seeing it coming from a mile off, Catalina depending on her reaction time might come off with just a few scratches but it was Chris's actions that would interest Griz the most.
If he decided to go through with his attack the shock wave would most definitely hit him when he hit the ground opening him up for follow up attacks.
If he dodged then everyone got off scot-free but then he had lost his opportunity for some free damage
If he wanted to to some cheeky speed things then the moment he stopped Griz would take advantage of that.

Of course these were just the things that Griz expected. He wouldnt be surprised if the kid found some way around it. He was "The Tiger" after all.
Griz let out a breath of tension after such heavy aura manipulation and settled into his boxing style fighting stance. His gloves cooled off as the kinetic function temporarily switched off to cool down while Griz observed Chris's next moves very carefully.

(OOC: Just to keep the ball rolling since it's been 4 days now)

Yes, Tina thought in satisfaction as half her shots landed on her target. Seeing as it was the start of the fight she was expecting a worse result. However, that satisfaction turned to a jolt of pain as Cat returned fire, two of his shots finding it's mark before she flattened on the ground. That hurt...

Rolling behind a tree, Tina peeked out and saw Cat and Chris duelling it out between each other. ”That's two of them, where’s—What the HELL?” she gasped as a massive dust-filled shockwave came rolling her way. Frantically climbing the tree she was taking cover behind, she saw the destruction that the wave caused, basically recreating the arena into a barren, rocky battlefield. And all that came from Griz... she thought, shocked. Just who am I fighting?

Taking a better look at her surroundings, something came to her mind. Actually, I can use this. Semblance is more useful now. Just keep fighting each other for a sec, will ya? she wondered, using the short respite she had to reload both revolvers with kinetic dust rounds, before taking careful aim on her precarious perch on the now tilting tree. Let's see you dodge these! she exclaimed in her mind, firing 3 kinetic rounds (4% each) from each gun upon Griz, specifically aiming for his arms and legs in an attempt to cripple, before swiftly turning and unloading another 4 normal rounds(3% each) in the general vicinity where Cat and Chris were fighting, not aiming at any person in general, more to distract them from the wave of doom than anything. Wait, I’ve just given away my position to everyone, haven’t I? she sighed.

Cat naturally turned his head to follow his opponent on hand. Seeing a knee flying up to meet his face Catalina let go of one hand holding his weapon to karate chop the incoming thigh hoping to send him back to the ground then a sweep kick from the side hoping to throw him off balance.
Now two events were perceived in his point of view: Tina is aiming at them again, and he hears a thundering roar spreading towards their positions.
Moving his hand back to his hammer Catalina positioned himself with Chris between him and Tina to avoid being shot and jumped as high as he can over the shockwave. In mid jump he went screw it and tried a mid air kick to the chest of Chris.

(I apologize for the prolonged absence. IRL things kept me pretty busy. Hopefully this will be a one time thing. Posting order will return to normal next round. Chris will be posting after me. When it's my turn, I'll put each persons actions in a spoiler tag and then have Acero commentate on what happened. I'm just gonna go up to Griz's action every time Acero commentates. Now, without further ado, let's get show on the road shall we?)

Acero watched the first year block/dodge half of the bullets sent at him and shrug off the ones that managed to get through, while also managing to swing his hammer in a short amount of time.

And we're off to a good fight! Tina has fired 6 shots at Catalina, but he's managed to dodge and block half of them! And not only that, he's managed to take a swing at Chris! I'm almost impressed!

Wow! Chris has managed to dodge Catalina's hammer strike! I could barely see him dodge it! What a semblance! Oooh, that knee is gonna hurt!"

Acero couldn't believe what had just transpired, as the once flat arena turned into an uneven battleground of jagged rocks and boulders. He kind of wanted to take back what he said about being a sparring partner for the first years, although he quickly snapped out of his surprised state to comment on this sudden change.

Um, it seems as though, Griz has changed the battlefield with a giant shockwave! I cannot believe that a first year has that kind of power! Let's see how this sudden change in scenery affects the other fighters!

Acero was actually pretty interested in the battle now. "Who's gonna win this?" he wondered.

[Mikelobmike]

Chris suddenly found himself being targeted by seemingly everyone in the match simultaneously. They must really like me. After his knee strike was pushed down, he dropped into a crouched position to try and keep his momentum. Unfortunately, he was getting peppered from one side. Rolling back to avoid the kick, he turned to look at the gunslinger and try to think of his next move. This momentary lapse in concentration caused his roll to be suddenly stopped as the shockwave hit and a jagged rock darted up from the ground, causing the entirety of the momentum Chris had built up to be applied directly to his left shoulder. He quickly grabbed his hurt shoulder, sitting up and backing against this large mass of rock suddenly behind him.
