Into Darkness: A RWBY RP

[Ranger22 179]

@Drago Ryder @dragon4111 @Acnologia

Vince was barely a few minutes into the forest before his instincts kicked in and told him something was coming. It was less of an instinct and more of Vince's hearing picking up unnatural sounds coming from behind him. In a flash Vince swiveled in the opposite direction with his weapon raised, his finger hovering over his rifle's trigger. Much to his surprise it wasn't a creature of grim, but instead the faunus he had met the day before. Ignis speaking up had further reinforce the obvious fact that he wasn't a creature of grim. It took most of Vince's trigger discipline to not immediately open fire as soon as he saw Ignis. How the hell did this lizard pop up so quickly? With further observation Vince was given a clue for that fact, it faded away quickly but Vince had barely noticed what seemed to be static electricity. Maybe his semblance? "Oh, It's just you...maybe try not to go around popping up behind people's backs, it's a damn good way for accidents to happen." Vince had stated quickly as he lowered his weapon and swapped his weapon's safety back on.

So this was it, Ignis was gonna be Vince's partner for the next four year. Could of been worse, at least the faunus seemed to have common sense and was more than capable of handling himself. "So I guess this means that we're gonna be dealing with each other for the next four years huh? Either way, it'd be for the best if we focused on getting ourselves a relic, wouldn't want to come all this way just to get kicked out of Beacon." To be honest with himself Vince wasn't exactly comfortable with the concept of being forced with a person for four years. Vince understood wholeheartedly the concept of working with strangers, but he was still just a kid out of combat school and not in the army. It was only natural being forced into a tight knit team with a stranger and living with them was a strange concept for him. But if he was going to be a huntsman he had to suck it up, no use in complaining over something uncontrollable. 

"So, know where are we supposed to go? I doubt that anybody at the start had any hint of where we're supposed to grab these relic things, and what they look like as well." Vince said as he started to scan the woods around him. "I guess we better just keep going in the opposite direction of the starting point, if not try to find some other students who know their way better." Beckoning Ignis Vince began walking straight at a fairly quick pace, stopping occasionally to make sure their way was clear. After a while it dawned onto Vince that it wasn't just him or Ignis anymore. Rustling flora, out of place movements in the shadows, and the occasional red glow that distinctly stood out from the darkness. Dropping onto one his knees Vince rose his rifle and gestured towards Ignis, "We've got Grimm, don't know how many...assume more than four, these monsters never travel alone." Just as Vince had made note of his discovery multiple grimm emerged from the shadows of the forest. They stood at slightly larger than a human and had distinctly canine features, alongside the white bony plates adorning their black bodies typical of grimm.

Beowolfs, at least these ones are on the smaller side. Best not to get cocky when it comes to grimm, this isn't a simulation. There were at least four grimm that stood in front of Ignis and Vince, fairly easy for their skill level but caution would still be advisable. On top of that there could always be more, or worse...a larger and more dangerous species of grimm. Without a moments hesitation Vince open fired with two three-round burst at the farthest grimm, the concentrated rounds shaving off portions of the beowolf's neck. With one of their own dead the beowolves began their charge, but Vince was able to fire another three-round burst and putting down another beowolf before the last two got too close. Clicking his tongue in annoyance Vince managed to dodge one of the beowolf's strikes by barely a few seconds. Converting his rifle to its sword form Vince speared his blade through the attacking grimm's skull. With a grunt, Vince cleaved his way through the beowolf's head and managed to slash the last one's chest. Concentrating his aura Vince slammed his free fist into the last beowolf's chest, launching it into a tree. Trying to catch his breath four more beowolves emerged from the shadows behind Ignis, howling and snarling as normal gray wolves did.

Draco shrugged slightly and looked into the sky, taking note on the position of the sun. "Yeah, probably should've thought about that considering where exactly we are." He said, before he noticed the grimm as well. The dragon faunus then drew his sword as Vince fought four beowulves off, before he turned to see the four behind him, His face showed no emotion as his aura flowed off of him in waves and into his weapon. While there were weapons that could store one's aura, those relied on what one could describe as a battery and typically had to release it in some form in order to avoid damage via overload. His sword was different, though. It happily accepted Draco's aura and was able to contain an immeasurable amount, removing the danger of it exploding. Perhaps it was the metal the sword was made out of or maybe it was that the sword was sentient after having so much aura pumped into it.

Either way, Draco couldn't exactly figure that out now. There were four grimm in front of him that were a threat to both himself and Vince, and thereby needed to end. The dragon faunus then took a stance and got ready to fight. "May the shattered moon guide my blade; may its light give me strength as I forge my own path through the darkness." He muttered to himself. It was as he finished that, in a show of speed, Draco rushed foward at nearly fifty miles per hour, electricity flowing behind him as he did so, and decapitated the closest beowulf with his sword. He then used his spiked tail to pierce through the chest of a second grimm, making sure to do more damage as he pulled out. As his first two victims lay dead on the ground, the other two charged at him, wanting to avenge their fallen. The dragon faunus simply smirked and threw his sword in the air, before charging at the grimm. The only difference was that he was going at nearly double the speed he used before. As the world passed by in a blur, the dragon faunus drove his fist into the head of the third beowulf, effectively crushing its skull. The fourth roared in anger as it tried to claw at Draco, but the faunus ducked under the potential blow, tripped the grimm via a low kick, caught his sword with his tail and plunged the blade into his opponent's side several times in multuple fluid movement. As the adrenaline from the fight wore off, Draco noticed that his body was sore and parts of his skin were slightly burned. Knowing what the injuries were from, the dragon faunus glanced at Vince as whatever grimm were made out of dripped off his tail and sword. "Come on. We should probaly get moving." He said, sheathing his weapon after briefly shaking off the residue. Before heading in the general direction he knew north would be in, he decided to praise Vince, if only slightly "By the way, nice job. Not many can take on four beowulves like you did."

From the cliff, Ozpin and Glynda watched the incoming students via hidden camera drones. "He really is like his mother. Deadly precise and calm in the heat of battle." The former thought, taking a sip of his coffee. Of course, the headmaster could also see that, in terms of outward appearance, he took after his father. Only time would tell what trouble the son of two of the best hunters to ever gradutate from Beacon would bring, though how no one made the connection between the three was beyond him. With that said, he was interested in the pairings the three faunus and human our story follows had formed.

Damn this faunus was fast, was all Vince could think as he saw Ignis close the distance between the beowolves and himself. It wasn't long before Ignis was standing on top of the diced up bodies of beowolves, which eventually dissipated into nothingness as grimm did. It was very apparent that the faunus was hurt, minor burns at worst thankfully. Vince was about to make mention of the faunus' burns before Ignis stated that they should get moving. Not wanting to be too overbearing Vince went along with the faunus and quickly followed suite. Not long after catching up with Ignis the faunus openly complimented Vince, praising his abilities to take on four grimm at once. "You flatter me, thanks for the compliment but I believe any aspiring huntsmen applying for Beacon should be able to do what I just did without much trouble. Your performance on the other hand was more impressive. After all, you used your semblance quite effectively with your swordplay, something I'm willing to bet took a lot of training to perform the way you did." 

Vince was honestly speaking the truth, Ignis proved to be quite impressive for a person just applying to Beacon. The speed of his attacks were not only amazing, but his ability to use his semblance with his amount of finesse was no easy feat. But it was very clear to Vince that Ignis' semblance came at a cost, the burns on the faunus' body were not subtle. Worrying would be foolish Vince thought, Ignis was clearly one who knew his limits and watched out for himself. As Vince walked north with Ignis he kept himself wary for any possible grimm, using his new partner's enhanced hearing on top of his own eyesight and hearing. Doing this Vince couldn't help but wonder about Ignis' features, it had been common knowledge that faunus had features of the animals found in remnant. Though mammals were the most common, many faunus had reptilian,avian, and even piscine features as well. What made Ignis unique was he had the features of a reptile with wings. The description fit that of dragons, but Vince hadn't heard of any dragons existing in remnant, the only creatures that fit a dragon's appearance in Remnant seemed to be grimm, though that type of grimm were rare on its own. Was he overthinking things? Or maybe dragons themselves actually exist or existed at some point? Maybe he was just thinking about things he had no good knowledge about? Not wanting to think about it too long Vince took it upon himself to change his line of current thinking. "By the way, keep track of your burns...minor as they may be even the most minor of burns may lead to nasty infection, especially in the environment were currently in.

Traveling further north Vince had noticed the distant sounds of screams and gunfire, clearly the other students were making their way through the forest as well. It had occurred to Vince that he and Ignis may run into other students soon. Though Vince wasn't particularly sure what meeting more than one other student meant for the rest of the year. Would the next two become part of their four person team? Or was he just left with the one other he met and randomly assigned with another pair? These questions proved interesting enough to keep his mind occupied when he wasn't focusing on watching out for grimm. After a decent amount of walking Vince had noticed that there was a clear lack of grimm. It made sense that they were drawn towards the more aggressive students that Vince had heard earlier. Despite this fact the lack of grimm made Vince worried. Though his worries were pushed back into his mind as he noticed someone in the distance, the faunus that he had met the day before. With this revelation Vince began waving his hand to get her attention as he hurried to her position. In his excitement Vince hadn't noticed the monster that drew closer to him by the seconds. In an instant Vince had felt a huge rush of air blow past him, not long after that a surge of pain drowned the left side of his body. Taken by surprise Vince couldn't react to the large form that smashed into his side, sending him flying a couple meters on to the forest ground. Trying to get a hold of his surroundings Vince had looked hurriedly looked around, eventually spotting his assailant. 

It was large, towering over every faunus and human that looked up from under it. It had a massive serpentine body ribbed in scales of pure darkness, its red beady eyes clearly focusing on Vince. It was a king taijitu, a massive grimm that took the appearance of a snake, a common creature in remnant. Trying to raise himself Vince was met with his bodies defiance, pain keeping him restrained to the grass covered ground. Facing his impending doom Vince frantically searched for his weapon, which to his relief was just by his side due to the strap it had getting caught on his arm. Reaching for his weapon Vince had also noticed multiple red eyes staring at him, which slowly emerged to reveal more beowolves. Cursing to himself Vince quickly grabbed his rifle and focused on the king taijitu, hoping his teammates would take care of the other grimm. The king taijitu opened its mouth wide and gave a defiant hiss. Rearing its head back the grimm then quickly launched itself at Vince, focusing his aura Vince had done the smartest thing he could do in his position, use his semblance. In what looked to be a bright flash of light Vince had unleashed a wave of debilitating energy in front of him, blinding the king taijitu and damaging its perception. Breathing heavily Vince began switched off his weapon's safety and began opening fire at the massive grimm, covering the serpentine body in scorching holes. "Beowolves behind me! Around seven I think!" Vince had screamed as he kept firing at the grimm that had assaulted him earlier.

Yuki turned to glance at Draco and Vince, before smiling. Of course, that disappeared as soon as she noticed Draco's wounds. That, and the sudden apperance of the king taijitu that rammed into the human. "How did none of us notice that?" She thought,before drawing her lance and shifting it to its bow form. It wasn't long before she was taking potshots at the beowulves.

[Drago Ryder 641]

@Acnologia @dragon4111 @Ranger22

Draco shrugged as he walked and it didn't take him long to notice Yuki and Ghalan. "Good to know those two are safe." He thought, giving a slight smirk. The dragon was brought out of his thoughts by the sudden appearance of more grimm. Thankfully, Yuki was already fighting off beowulves, but she needed someone to cover her and the tijitu wouldn't be easy to take out with only two people. "We need to get out of here. Fighting will only attract more grimm." He said, cutting down a beowulf that had charged at him It didn't take long for another to take its place. "That, and we'd have a better advantage at range considering half of us have weapons designed for that kind of situation."

[dragon4111 914]

@Drago Ryder , @Acnologia , @Ranger22

"No more talk We bring War!" Ghalan yelled out as he drew his sword and placed it into his mouth as he glowed a red. His eyes glowed red as he used specialized fangs and ground then into his blade and igniting it. He roared like a grimm. as soon as his fangs left the sword itself he slashed his blade into the ground causing an explosion near the King Taijitu. He was going feral thanks to his semblence which took the form of a blade dinosaur looking beast. Ghalan leapt onto the beast slashing at it burning it roaring like a feral beast. Sparks flying as he then charged up a triple spin as the king threw him into the air.And he came down quickly cutting into it's head.

Draco's eyes widened slightly as he watched Ghalan fight and gave a slight smirk, knowing that the King Taijitu was most likely dead after so many sustained injuries. Of course, this only gave him more ideas on how to train the others, assuming thay he was the leader"Well, that's a thing." He said, before noticing a beowulf sneaking around Yuki. The dragon faunus then drove his tail through its body and flung it back into the forest. "Like hell I'm letting one of those things hurt one of the few people I actually give a crap about in this world." He thought to himself.

Yuki smiled lightly as Draco took out a grimm that she hadn't seen. "Thanks for the save." She said, glancing at said faunus. Of course, she knew that she needed more training, and was determined to not let her new friends down. With that said, she quickly sent a aura arrow through the last beowulf, before looking at the others. "Draco's right. We should probably get moving before our aura and dust run out."

[Drago Ryder 641]

@Ranger22 @dragon4111 @Acnologia

Draco nodded slightly, but had to do a double take as Yuki mentioned him. Whether the fox knew his name or had just come up with a nickname was beyond him, but he decided not to think to much on it. If anything, his reaction said enough. "That, and we still need to get two relics and fight off grimm on the way back." He said, strategies already forming in his head. At the very least, he could possibly carry all of them back, but that might put more a strain on his body. The dragon faunus then noticed the second head of the taijitu  as it came out of the ground and charged at Yuki. The dragon got in between the two and killed the grimm with a quick application of sword through the head. "Knew that the thing wouldn't have gone down that easy." He thought, berrating himself for growing lax. At least all the grimm were dead.

@Drago Ryder @dragon4111 @Acnologia

As Vince fired his rifle at the king taijitu he noticed his team spring into action and begin taking the fight to the grimm. Multiple bolts of dust flew through the air in the general direction of the beowolves. Taking a quick second to look for the source Vince had found that it was Yuki using her lance/bow hybrid to fire bolts of dust. Seeing that there were more grimm approaching from the woods Vince had tried to pull himself up, easier now due to the pain subsiding a little bit. Vince had sprayed a wave of bullets at the beowolves to suppress them before swiveling towards the king taijitu to continue his barrage. Then the bright red flash behind the grimm caught his attention, the forest floor then suddenly shook and a loud noise drowned out his ears. The explosion was followed by ferocious roars, it had only just occurred to Vince that the source for all of this was Ghalan, the wolf faunus from the day before. In a burst of speed the faunus had launched himself at the king taijitu and ferociously assaulted the beast with his blade in a dazzling display of sparks and flames. The combination of Vince's storm of bullets and Ghalan's blade strikes had brought down the black serpent.

Looking around it looked as if Yuki and Ignis took care of the beowolves that had come to assist the king taijitu, of course Vince knew that the snake like grimm wasn't finished yet. Before Vince could speak up the second head of the king taijitu had showed itself, launching itself at Yuki. Luckily for Yuki, Ignis had stepped in front of her in time and slew the beast by driving his blade into its skull, leaving behind a motionless white body. With the battle done Vince had took the opportunity to catch his breath and make sure his body was able to keep going. Of course Vince couldn't do a proper examination without removing his armor, something he wouldn't risk doing. Instead, Vince chose to move around to see if anything hurt...crude but effective(he had hoped). Vince began moving his limbs and body in increasingly more flexible positions, fortunately the only pain left were a few minor stings that remained from earlier. Thank the creator for aura! With his health momentarily stable Vince caught up with the rest of his new found partners.

"Damn impressive work gentleman, and woman...suffice to say we're another stepping stone towards our future. Lets continue north and get those...relics?" Vince had said to the other three as he casually swept off grime from his chest plate. Saying this Vince thinking about his teammate's semblances, which to his surprise were used during this skirmish. Ghalan's semblance was particularly unique, were the fangs a part of his semblance? Or maybe they just helped channel it? Were examples of thoughts that ran through Vince's brain. It had also dawned upon him that Yuki hadn't used her semblance, it was understandable considering her relative role in combat currently. With his body feeling better Vince had began continuing his path north, beckoning his compatriots to follow. Everyone has their moments when they aren't brave. He thought as he stepped through the grassy earth.

@Drago Ryder , @Acnologia , @Ranger22

Ghalan brutally sliced one remaining beowulf into pieces as he calmed down. He looked at the three with a grin on his face. He pulled out his revolver and fired off a fire bullet which whozzed past Yuki's and Draco's heads and into a ursa major's head causing it to explode. "Shall we head to the relics?" Ghalan asked as his body was sore thanks to his semblance. It pushes his body past it's limit. but he looked like he was ready for some more combat.  His silver eyes looked at the other three as he sniffed the air he found the trail. "Just call me Mister bloodhound," Ghalan said jokingly.

[Acnologia 167]

@dragon4111 @Ranger22 @Drago Ryder

Yuki sighed as she had her weapon revert back to its lance form and put it on her back. The fox faunus then followed the two, and couldn't help but give a light blush at Vince's comment. "We really are a good team." She said, smiling lightly.

[Drago Ryder 641]

Draco rolled his eyes sligtly at the wolf and human, happy that he was wrong about his earlier assesment of the two. "At least they get along well enough." He thought to himself. Thankfully, it wasn't long before the four arrived at the site of the ruins. The dragon faunus then noticed that the supposed relics took the shape of chess pieces and that all but two were gone. "Looks like a few students were here." He then walked forwards and grabbed what was essentially a golden rook piece, twilring it in his hand.

To say that Glynda and Ozpin were surprised by the combat prowess of the three faunus and human would be putting it lightly. Yuki had demonstrated perfect control of her weapon and controlled the battle at range with deadly projectiles. Experiance alone told both that they weren't made of dust. Vince was skilled in both mid and close range combat, making him a extremely difficult opponent to fight against, and Draco could outspeed anything, along his skill in close range fighting. As for Ghalan, he was another thing entirely. His skill with his sword and use of aura was above what many students could achieve, and that made him just as unpredictible. "Those four are something else." The secretary of Beacon said.

Ozpin simply nodded, knowing who among the four would lead the group. It was only a matter of if they accepted his choice. "They have all fought their own battles. I do hope that they can help each other." He said.

Yuki couldn't help but stare at the ruins and it didn't take her long to notice the chess pieces. "This is a strange school." She said, picking up the other rook piece. "Assuming that these determine the actual teams, it looks like we got lucky."

[Ranger22 179]

@Drago Ryder @dragon4111 @Acnologia

The ruins were not too far from where Vince and the others had fought the grimm in the forest. Luckily for Vince the ruins themselves stood out from the lush green that surrounded it. The ruins themselves were naturally collapsed and spread around due to the efforts of age and natural weather. What remained however was what looked like a roofless rotunda with walls made up of ancient bricks. Columns covered in cracks defiantly held up what remained of the ancient structure it clear cut defiance against mother nature. Resting in the middle was a stone round table that hosted a wide array of colored chest pieces, there were two sets of black and gold. Quite a few of the pieces themselves were missing, seemed that others got here first, guess Ignis had the same idea as well. Vince began wondering what the chess pieces themselves meant, what significance did one piece have over the other? Before Vince could come up with a decent conclusion Ignis had taken it upon himself to pick up a golden rook, Yuki coincidentally enough picked a similar piece. Guess that's that.

Even though Vince and the others had accomplished their goal he didn't exactly felt a sense of satisfaction in doing so. It was probably do to the fact that they had to return back to the top of the cliff while also guarding a chess piece along the way. Vince had taken one last opportunity to gaze at the remains of the ancient temple before walking out of the small rotunda and back outside, but not before overhearing Yuki. "Strange is a fitting description I'd say, but I like to think they set us up with these weird situations in order to teach us that life as a huntsmen is unpredictable,crazy, and let's not to forget...dangerous." Vince had stated before removing his helmet to get a breath of fresh air. Wiping off the sweat from his brow Vince continued. "Though that may be a stretch, besides the sanity of our quest us finding each other in the Emerald forest is pretty lucky in its own right. Better use that to our advantage, like you said earlier, we work pretty well as a team. Lets keep up the good work Yuki, Ghalan, and Ignis. We still gotta make it back before anything is decided, lets get these chess pieces back in one...piece." Vince had awkwardly ended off as he put his helmet back on. Man it's stuffy in here, but seriously...pieces? The correlation boggles me. With his rifle ready Vince had prepared to head back to the cliff side alongside his compatriots, as long as they had the chess pieces of course.

[Drago Ryder 641]

@dragon4111@Ranger22@Acnologia

Draco glanced at the piece in his hand and couldn't help but laugh a little. "Life is a lot like chess, isn't it? I mean, you have two opposing forces, one of light and one of darkness. Of course, there's also a bit of grey in between as well, so not everything is as it seems." The dragon faunus then stretched slightly and made sure that his sword was secure on his back. "Either way, we should probably get going now that we completed the objective. Don't want to keep Oz and the good witch of Vale waiting, do we?

(Might as well get a bit more character buliding in. Don't worry, I do have something big planned for before thr exam truly ends.)

[dragon4111 914]

@Drago Ryder , @Acnologia , @Ranger22

Ghalan looked at Draco with a raised eyebrow and stated "Sure putting away your sword in enemy territory," he said with sarcasm. "Like that won't come bite you in the ass,"  he stated as he had grabbed his piece. He smirked slightly as he held his weapon in one hand. He chuckled to himself as he pocketed the piece looking at the people. "Of course we could explore see if we can find any thing else,"

[Acnologia 167]

@dragon4111 @Ranger22 @Drago Ryder

Yuki glanced at Draco and nodded. "Makes sense. Wasting resources now would not be wise." She said, before looking around the clearing. The last thing they needed was to be ambushed by a random grimm.

[Drago Ryder 641]

@dragon4111 @Ranger22 @Acnologia

Draco glanced at Ghalan and simply smirked. "Believe me, I have more than just a sword as a weapon and I can draw it faster than most." He said, flicking his tail slightly. "Thank you for your concern, though." With that being said, the dragon faunus then decided to strike up a conversation before the four headed back to the cliff. They had more than enough time anyway. "So, why do you three want to become hunters, or at the very least go to Beacon?" It was something that anyone in their line of work would be asked, either by themselves or another, and it would be best to learn what they wanted early on.

@Ranger22 @Drago Ryder @dragon4111

Yuki paused slightly as Draco's question ran through her mind. Why did she want to become a huntress in the first place? Her family was well off, so wealth was out of the picture, and she didn't care for fame either. "I guess the reason why I wanted to come here and learn to fight is to find some way to help the world. I know I won't be able to save everyone, but I can't just sit back and do nothing." She said, ears flattening against her head.

[Ranger22 179]

@Drago Ryder @dragon4111 @Acnologia

As Vince waited outside the ancient brick ruins he had overheard Ignis' comment about the chess pieces and also the little interactions between him and the other two faunus. The topics themselves were by no means uninteresting, they had practical value and served as a reminder to Vince about the basic stuff overshadowed by the trial he and so many other students were currently undergoing. Taking everything in Vince hadn't put a word in until he had acknowledged a question that Ignis had asked, a question hat was asked by so many students before and probably after him. Why did you want to become a huntsman? Why did I want to become a huntsmen? It was a common but practical and almost necessary question that one needed to answer for just about any career. Why does one want to become what they are? It helped determine the end goal that people aspire towards and the paths taken to reach that goal, though the latter is a consequence of said goal. It was something Vince had already answered, but at the same time didn't. After a bit of thinking while Yuki explained her reasons Vince had came up with an answer that summed up his current feelings and beliefs. 

"Though I think we should be having this conversation later due to our time limit I can give an abridged version for my reasons. Simply put, I want to become a huntsmen in order to get a venue directly to power and the ability to use that power as I see fit. For the dedicated use for handling threats others are unable to handle such as grimm and terrorists of course. Also, being able to travel and get paid for using the skills I have is a great bonus, on top of helping out others. Why I chose Beacon is another matter, one I'll discuss at a later date. We should head out soon, time is running out and I don't exactly want to get kicked out of Beacon before I even started anything." Vince had said as he walked towards the outskirts of the forest.

[dragon4111 914]

@Drago Ryder , @Acnologia , @Ranger22

Ghalan chuckled as he walked through the forest with the three other people. "Me? heh it's my choice to do so," he stated simply. " I chose to become a hunter. No one makes me do anything," Ghalan said simply as his tail swayed slightly as he walked. "Some people think they don't have choices in life," he stated with a chuckle to himself as he looked at the three. "I what do is of my own volition," Ghalan said simply.

[Drago Ryder 641]

@dragon4111@Acnologia@Ranger22

Draco smiled lightly as he walked by his three friends. They all had relatively good reasons as to why they wanted to become hunters. The dragon faunus then began to think of his own reason, and to be honest, it was similar to Yuki's in a sense, and et the same time, different. He wanted to help bring light to the world and to find himself within his own darkness. After coming across a dilapidated stone bridge that crossed a wide chasm and essentially led to the bottom of the cliff where Glynda and Ozpin were waiting, Draco's senses went on high alert as a deafening roar exhoed throughout the forest. The sound of trees falling could also be heard, and it was getting closer at an alarming rate. "Whatever's coming, it's big." He muttered, drawing his sword and holding it in a reverse grip. His eyes narrowed as he waited for the others to move.

Yuki stood beside Draco as she shifted her weapon into its bow configuration. "Don't think I'm leaving. Friends don't abandon each other." She said, giving a slight smile. The fox then prepared an aura arrow and took aim at the treeline.

[Ranger22 179]

@Drago Ryder @dragon4111 @Acnologia

Vince followed the group as they got moving while finishing off their reasons for wanting to become huntsman. They eventually came across a large bridge in quite a state of disrepair which overlooked a seemingly bottomless chasm.  How much did they pay the guys who built this bridge? Vince thought as he saw how far the bridge went down into the chasm. Suddenly Ignis' face showed a sign of worry, Vince was about to ask his partner what was wrong before he too heard the roar in the distance. Unslinging his rifle Vince began to hear the sound of snapping trees and began to feel the rumbling of a currently moving target. Switching off his weapon's safety Vince looked behind him and found discomfort in his team's current position, they were caught between a monster and a unknowingly fragile piece of architecture. "You know Yuki, even if we weren't friends I don't think I could have left anybody to the mercy of whatever is coming our way." Vince had stated to Yuki as he rose his weapon at the forest, ready to fire at whatever threat emerged from the trees. Not too confidant in with his current load out Vince swapped out his standard magazine with a fire dust variety. That should as some punch.
