OOC: I suppose I can post to progress the story a bit.


Watching the others through his semblance, Oberon observed as the others slowly made there way into the forest. From the way they were positioned, they looked adequately prepared if they were to suddenly get attacked by a group of Grimm. As if to answer his thoughts, he heard a distant howl coming from the area around where the team was. "Well, I guess it begins" he said softly as he continued to monitor the team.


As if attracted to the boisterous noises that Axus was making earlier, a loud howl was heard nearby where the team was located. Following up with it, a few smaller howls were heard as they drew closer to where the group was located.

While walking in the group, Axus noticed her hard grip and after asking her what's the problem Salina replied "Oh, guessed you noticed. Well this it's kinda nervous being a group leader for the first time and facing a Grimm as well. It's like performing on stage with an unknown band, you don't know how it’ll play out." Taking a deep breath and a little less grip on her weapon, Salina felt a bit at ease that she got it out of her system. “Thanks for asking I feel a bit more confident now.” But as soon as she said that Salina was surprised by the howling of Grimm in the distance. Adjusting her grip again to make it more comfortable and redirecting her focus to her team, Salina said “We’re here… Everyone get ready to move and attack.”

Hearing the sound of Grimm approaching Misa stopped where she was, trying to determine where they were coming from. She drew her weapon slowly, eyeing the dense treeline intently, waiting for the moment they would strike, focusing her mind.

Damien drew his rifle and kept looking out for Grimm. He took brief pauses only to keep an eye on his surroundings. It would be bad for him if he got caught outright by the infernal beasts. He flipped up the rear sight and positioned himself to where he would have overwatch on the whole team.

The first thing Axus did was smile. Hearing the first howl, he took his slightly sharpened stick in his left gauntlet, most of it's length behind his back with the beginnings of the point pointing down. Then, with his right hand, he drew his sword, reveling in the sweet sound if it leaving his scabbard. 'The violinist may have her music, I shall have mine.' He thought to himself as he took a stance. Resiste over his shoulder, ready for a powerful strike while his makeshift spear ready to counter anything that charged or otherwise lunged at him. In short, he was ready.

As the howling grew closer, two large beowolves appeared from the front of the group and went straight in to attack Damien, claws slashing straight towards his abdomen. As if to indicate the start of a fight, the rest of the pack closed in with four coming up from behind, five on the right side and six from the left. As the pack closed in, a loud howl was heard again, seemingly coming from the Alpha of the pack, as if it was giving commands to the rest.


OOC: Keeping it a short post to start the fight. I'll let you guys control the Grimm attacks as it'll be difficult for me to control all of them. I'll post to keep adding onto the mayhem and progress the story. Feel free to slaughter them as they're only Beowolves

Damien saw the Beowolf come at him and blocked its attack with his left arm. He aimed at the Beowolves center mass and fired, sending it towards another tree and to the ground. It never got another chance to move however as the back of its chest cavity bursted outwards the minute it hit the ground.

"How about we stop and smell the roses!" A small sadistic chuckle could be heard from Damien as that sentence left his lips.

[InnerMagic]

Looking at the massive pack of beowolves came from all directions Salina used her Clef and started shooting the ones on the left side of the group. As she used her semblance to rapid fire the Grimm, Salina moved side to side to try and aim for parts of their body to slow them down. She was able to hit all of the beowolves and was able to tripped them over, causing a domino effect. Now the beowolves on the left side are piled up ontop of each other and trying to get back up while still being wounded by Salina's bolts.

As the Beowolves broke the treeline Misa was ready. She let them get close, and one swiped at her before she ducked under it, thrusting her dagger up through its jaw and killing it instantly. Dropping the quickly dissolving body she noticed another was gaining on her. A back flip put her just out of reach of the new wolf, as she activated her weapon's secondary form. She fired several shots into the wolf, before killing two others that were close behind it with clean shots to the heads. Noticing she was out of ammo and that there were still more approaching, she activated the weapon's grappling hook and shot up into the treeline above, where she was able to reload. She also used this opportunity to check on her allies, making sure they were handing the attack ok.

[Augustus]

Axus took a step to the right of his team so as to intercept an incoming flank. As a beowolf leapt at him he raised his temporary spear at just the right angle. In nothing short of an instant the wolf found itself skewered at the neck. Axus used the momentum from its leap to slam the Grimm-kabob into a second beowolf like a mace. His "spear" broke apart on impact but it served its purpose, so he dropped it. From his shoulder, he brought his sword down on a third beast's head. It was more of a cleave that a cut but the thing was dead. His gantlet shifted to shield mode and he used it to bash a fourth monster's head upward. He the proceeded to stab the creature in the now exposed throat. A competitive smile never left his face as he analyzed the remainder of their foes. This was getting fun.

[Dead_Proxy21]

Damien looked at his surroundings, making sure to get a visual on his teammates. He saw a Beowolf 5 meters away from Misa's right flank. He aimed at the Beowolf and fired, hitting it center mass and causing the same effect that happened to the first one he shot. He let Misa know that he was okay and still watching by whistling like a songbird and firing at two Beowolves at Axus's right flack and Salina's left flank respectfully, each of them being within pounce distance from his teammates and with both of them having their spines blown out.

[InnerMagic]

After Damien fired at the Beowolf on Salina's left flank she nodes to him to thank him. Looking at the pile of Beowolves on her side who were trying to get out of the pile, Salina fired 4 fire dust bolts straight into their skulls and lit them on fire. As the fire covered the pile you can hear the final howls of the Beowovles until they die and burn away. "My side is clear, how about you guys?" Salina asked her team as she sighed from the relief that her side is cleared.

[Evilparsnips]

Noticing that the Beowolf ranks had thinned noticably Misa heard a strange bird noise. She looked for the source and found Damien whistling. Misa decided she would finish off the last of the wolves nearby, before they were all eliminated by her team. She leaped down and ran into the ranks of the remaining Grimm, slashing several more to pieces with well aimed strikes.

[Augustus]

Seeing as once his team finished their respective combos the current foes would be vanquished, Axus resorted to resting his sword on his shoulder and grinned. "All clear on my end!" he shouted back to his leader. While the confrontation itself wasn't the most riveting in Axus' experience the implications of what he observed were indeed exciting. The Archer (Salina) kept things mid-close range so as not to interfere with the Sniper (Damien), who had a very convincing bird call. That coupled with the high agility and maneuverability of the Shadow (Misa) and Axus' own ratio of melee reach, strength and durability, and what you get is a warrior team worthy of the record books. Axus made no attempt to keep his ambition in check as he imagined his new team, whom he still barely knew, standing back to back to back to back facing off against a sea of evil and he thought to himself: 'Challenge accepted'
