Ash nods towards Marshal.  "I can take us there, if you don't mind a slower pace to conserve strength."

[Martian]

Marshal was starting to get very annoyed with Reggie, but he figured that fighting with your teammates would be bad for your grade in general. Luckily, Shiroe and Ash seemed to be fairly congenial.

"That's fine," Marshal smiled at Ash."Let's get moving!"

[Walter]

The profligate cumbucket pouted, his arms remaining crossed. He didn't like this one bit, but at least he could take solace in the fact that he wouldn't have to deal with this bastard's 'leadership' much longer.

Surely, the people in charge at Beacon would see his own skills and grant him the title of leader in his team. It would only make sense, really. Who else had the class, the charisma, the elegance Anyone else in the fucking world you pusswanker.

So, with a huff and displeased look on his face, Reginald begrudgingly followed along without another word. He didn't want to waste his breath, after all.

[Xarias Fury]

Shiroe nodded and followed suit, keeping an eye out for any activity. Preparing a rune he casts a rune of light and places it on the end of his blade, holding it up like a torch as they continued through the dark streets barely lit by the failing streetlamps.

After a twenty minute trek, Ash leads the group to a group of statues in the center of a fountain.  "Here are the statues I spoke of.  A little large than I would like them to be, if we have to collect one."

[Martian]

"My stepfather told me that the artifacts they usually put out are pretty small, like chess pieces or something similar," Marshal explained. "He went to school here, too, so he's pretty well-versed in this kind of stuff." Marshal went to take a step, but was stopped by the sound of roaring near their location. Three Ursa, two minor and one major, were headed straight for the fountain. They were still pretty far away, but Grimm seemed particularly attracted to Marshal ever since he had ran into...

Reginald. That pompous ass had been nothing but negative ever since he arrived at Beacon and tripped over his own stupid costume. Surely, he was the one that was bringing the Grimm to them with his negativity.

"We've got company, people," Marshal said, getting his weapon ready. "Look alive." While he was waiting for the Grimm, a small flash of light reflected in the corner of his vision. He looked down and saw a few coins resting at the bottom of the fountain. This clearly wasn't a wishing well, as there were only a few coins scattered here and there throughout the fountain.

"I found the items," he whispered. "One of us can grab them while the other three fight off those Ursa." Hopefully, one of them would step up to the plate while Marshal and the other two would cover for them. They probably wouldn't be able to defeat a whole pack of Ursa on their own at this point, but they could at least hold them off, so their best option would be to grab the coins and get out.

[Walter]

Reginald wasn't going to be the one who would look for coins in some fountain, mission or not. How pathetic of a task was that? If anyone it was this Marshal who should be doing it not them. As such, he simply ignored the things, instead taking Solace off his back again.

Reginald aimed down his sights, letting the creatures get closer, not firing yet. He hadn't brought that much ammunition to this mission. He had 28 shots left, and if he was careful, that would equal 28 more dead grimm. And he'd preferred it if he wouldn't have to go into melee. Ever, really. The cowardly little shitbiscuit.

[Ever Professional]

When Ash saw the Ursa he stepped into the fountain, and he began to recover the coins.  "Should we take all of them, or shall we leave some for others to collect?"

[Xarias Fury]

"Do what you must, I'll try slowing down the Ursae. Shiroe replied, dashing sideways in an attempt to flank the grimm while Reggie shot at them. Preparing a rune Shiroe locked some frost dust in his sabre and sent out a small wave of ice from his position, the ground frosting over as a path of ice glazed over the ground and sped towards the nearest ursa.

[Martian]

It looked like Ash was going to take care of the coins. That was good! "Just take one for each of us," Marshal instructed. He drew his blade and charged at the Ursa Major.

With a battle cry, Marshal began his attack with a full-force swing at the Grimm's chest. The two Grimm took considerable damage from each teammate's attack. Enraged, the Ursa major took a mighty swing at Marshal, who managed to stop the attack with his scabbard, but not without causing a considerable amount of damage to his Aura, which was working overtime to make sure his arm didn't break from the force. The third Grimm was charging Marshal, and would certainly hurt him horribly if no one was able to step in and help.

[Walter]

Well now, this was quite the moral predicament to one royal taintmuncher. His 'partner' had brilliantly decided to go into melee with the grimm even though they held a ranged advantage, and was about to, quite possibly, have his face chewed off by the ursa. Reginald had his rifle aimed straight at the beast currently going after him, and could probably dispatch him pretty easily. It was their mission, after all. At the same time, he didn't really like Marshal.

A second passed, and the creature got closer. Reggie sighed, before firing a shot at the thing's head, loading the next bullet, this time hitting it in the leg. He paused, considering a bayonet charge, but decided it would be too much. Confusing it should at least give that peasant time to avoid certain death. After all, he could rely on Shiroe, who was a much better melee combatant, and was currently flanking the thing.

[Xarias Fury]

Ursae are known to have hard shells near most of their exterior portions, the major being the most well armored. The joints are too hard to strike without getting within melee range so best I could do is take down the smaller ones for the meantime. Then we can focus on the larger target.

Dashing forward while sliding on his manmade ice path, Shiroe leaned down and made attempted a large horizontal cut past the ursa he was attacking from behind and spun around to throw another rune powered dust vial at the trio, a mixture of fire and lightning to create a small pillar of flame, as he slid further away finally stopping on hard pavement.

[Ever Professional]

Ash stood up and shoved four coins in one of his pockets.  "I have the coins."  Ash then held his rifle to his shoulder and prepared to join the fray.

[Martian]

Marshal was a little concerned, but Reggie and Shiroe stepped in with their own skills and managed to save him. He smiled, knowing that it must have been a difficult decision for his reluctant partner, but took joy in knowing that he made the right choice.

The two smaller Ursa crumbled into smoke, and the Ursa Major stumbled backward. Marshal, realizing this was his chance, quickly charged up a Blast and let it fly straight into the Grimm's chest. This was finally enough for the giant bear, toppling it over. The area was finally clear.

"Phew!" Marshal sighed. "That went pretty well!" Noticing that Ash had gathered all the coins, he smiled. "Looks like we're done here, shall we go see our results?"

[Walter]

Reginald reloaded Solace and placed it on his back once more. "I suppose. Next time I suggest you actually consider what you're doing before rushing in like a complete buffoon. Even if you might be one. I'm sure the teachers will tell you just that when we get back." The pretentious tit commented, crossing his arms.

No matter, Reggie was certain that he had shown himself quite well to the people in charge here. He just might find himself as team leader. Yes, that would certainly fit him nicely. It wouldn't.
