Finn stumbled his way across the sand towards his teammates, the Grimm sounding like they were practically on top of him, even though he knew they were still a distance away yet.

Grabbing Boom off of his back and spinning on his feet to reverse the last few feet, Finn fell in on the right of Duncan and aimed down his sights. "Might I take the first shot?"

Not bothering to wait for an answer, Finn fired the loaded napalm grenade at the Beowolves now emerging from the treeline. One was incinerated immediately, while the rest were forced to separate as their cover suddenly erupted into flames.

[Dead_Proxy21]

"Alright it looks like we're doing this!"

Duncan switched Sol's firing rate from semi to full auto and sprayed into a couple of the Beowolves that got scattered by Finn's grenade. The Beowolves ignited into flames with every single round that hit them until the two he was firing at fell over into smoking carcasses from Duncan emptying a full magazine into them.

He quickly swapped out mags and kept his gaze at the treeline, knowing that more will be coming out of the woodwork soon.

The pyros' attacks always managed to keep Mao in awe, but due to his background, maybe it was more anxiety than anything else. Still, they were enough to overwhelm his doubt and that was all that mattered.

"I'll cover the left[boat side]!"

Mao charged towards a few other isolated Grimm that Finn had initially dispersed. He shot one blade at a Beowolf, the blade cleanly piercing into its flesh, and it dropped to the ground.
He reeled the blade back in and as he approached, he pivoted around one of his feet to dodge a downward swipe followed by the ol' one-two to kill the Grimm.

The fight had already begun, but he could already feel the strain that the sand was putting on his legs. The team would have to find solid ground soon, but who knew how many waves of Grimm were approaching them because of the damned boat.

[Flooberoid]

"Nice, Finn! But, uh, maybe be a little more careful with the trees?" Mint remarked, watching a sizable portion of the treeline burst into flames.

Not wanting to get in anyone's way, Mint located a group of Grimm that nobody else was targeting and claimed it for herself. "I've got these ones! Don't shoot me, please!" She shouted, dashing just left of center. She tossed Gale as she ran, which sliced and incapacitated a beowolf  at the front of the crowd. She then caught her weapon just in time to deliver a running melee blow with Wing. She then proceeded to hack at the crowd with both weapons, staying on the move as much as possible and laughing the whole time.

[Marticus]

"Yeah, riiiight, careful. Got it". Honestly, being careful? With a grenade launcher? The sheer ridiculousness of the idea was astounding. Plus, that'd just be boring.

Giving Boom a forceful pump to clear the chamber, Finn locked eyes onto the beowolves that had dodged right to avoid total incineration, and were now attempting some sort of flank, though they weren't being subtle about it. Spinning on his heel, Finn fired his second and third grenades that them, a pair of repulsion grenades, the first of which tore through the air and impacted the centre, splitting the half-dozen or so Grimm apart and sending three straight up into the sky.

The third, sent in a graceful arc, detonated atop one of the airborne Grimm, and slammed it and it's friends right back into the sand. One dissipated sadly upon impact, while the other two were half buried in the beach from the sheer force of the grenade.

[Dead_Proxy21]

Duncan saw Mint choose her targets and moved his aim towards the other Grimm that had the unfortunate circumstance to be caught by Finn and his grenade launcher. He proceeded to gun the remaining two down.

"With you Finn, its like shooting fish in a barrel."

[Kaliot]

Mao had temporarily cleared the few Grimm from his zone so he could afford to moment to watch his teammates in action; considering their combat styles, it was best not to get in the way of their way.

His moment of personal peace was short-lived as more vibrations emanated from the forest, their mysterious nature realized as an Ursa charged out from the treeline. Wide-eyed, Mao went into a defensive stance, ready to counter whatever attack the Ursa would throw at him. The moment before Mao intended to strike, the beast primed its legs and leaped over him as if trying to outsmart Mao, but Mao was running on instinct. He lurched back following the Ursa, one of his blades managing to catch and slice down the entirety of its torso. Mao struggled to keep his balance through the whole swing and he was forced to regain it in the final moments of the leap.

The Ursa landed motionless, its body beginning to dissipate. Mao turned back toward the treeline, just barely catching the glimpse of something before a tremendous force smashed against his left side sending him flying towards the combat zones of his teammates. He lay motionless and his vision was blurry. Only a single, overwhelming thought on his mind: Pain. Well, not just pain. Pain and the face of his assailant, an Ursa Major.

"Mao!" Mint pivoted in time to see her teammate get launched towards her and roll a bit on the ground. In her surprise, she nearly missed a parry and ended up staggering into an emergency hop away from the beowolves. "Guys! Whatever we do, we've got to get away from that boat! This place is seriously dangerous!" She held up her chakram, which her teammates surely knew by now contained a smoke pellet. "If Finn can split 'em apart again, I can cover our retreat!"

[Marticus]

Finn gave a sharp nod to Mint as he stepped in front of the others. Levelling his grenade launcher at the largest clump of Grimm he could find, Finn loosed a flashbang at them, "Allow me to brighten your day!", and revelled in the shock and awe he caused.

Throwing his weapon onto his back, Finn pulled a pair of frag grenades off of his bandolier and chucked them at the next two groups of Grimm, driving them apart and shredding a couple. Preparing his next pair of frags, Finn took a second to look over his shoulder at Mint and Duncan. "Get Mao away while they're still stunned, quick", before lobbing the next two grenades, one at another clump of beowolves, and the second straight into the face of the Ursa Major, knocking it for six, and buying them a few moments reprieve from it's assault.

[Dead_Proxy21]

Duncan put his rifle away and rushed towards Mao. He slung Mao's arm over his shoulder and carried him away towards the team. He looked at everyone and heard what Mint said. He fixed his gaze at Finn.

"Finn. In my bag I have a few pipe bombs and a couple napalm jar bombs. You can either hold Mao while I provide the opportunity for us to gain some ground, or take them and listen to my instructions."

He then looked at Mint, determination due to having no other option right now showed in his eyes.

"If you do use that, we only have so much time before it clears so most of us need to be gone before it clears."

[Flooberoid]

"If someone's got him, then let's get going!" She took a quick look to make sure that Duncan had ahold of Mao before putting the plan in action. She got low to the ground and activated the pellet before throwing Gale. She guided it using her wind, spreading both sand and smoke all over the place. "Cover your nose and mouth! And ears, maybe!" she advised, pulling up her hood as the chakram came around in their direction. As they moved, a cloud engulfed the whole beach around them.

[Kaliot]

(Just in case it wasn't clear with Floob posting, skipping a round)

[Marticus]

Finn nodded and darted over towards Duncan, pulling Mao onto his shoulder as soon as he got close enough. "While I enjoy blowing stuff up, they're your toys. I'll get Mao away". Finn started the long trek around the side of the ship, away from the Grimm and his team, hoping to find some cover on the other side. Or, at least, nothing that wanted to eat their faces.

[Dead_Proxy21]

Duncan nodded and smirk as Finn made his comment and took Mao. He took out a total of 3 pipe bombs and 4 napalm jar bombs, all of them with remote detonators. Duncan threw them all and ran. He managed to catch up with his teammates and triggered them all. He looked back and saw that the smoke covered up the area so he didn't know how effective the combination of the bombs were and stayed with his teammates.

[Kaliot]

Mao groaned as his dazed state started to fade away, his arm radiating with intense pain. "Where is it?" His voice was pitifully weak, lacking any vigor.  His glassy eyes first focused onto Finn then to Duncan. "Where's Mint?"
