The Irish Tree said
Red. Red. RED. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED. Kill. Red. KILL. RED. MAKE THE BLOODY PAIN STOOOOOOP!Huh? Edgar was confused by the sudden lack of something warm and wet sploshing across his horns...the red water humans were filled with. Where was he? Where was red? Turning his head back quickly, Edgar saw what was impossible...he...missed? But...that was impossible. Regardless, if Red was still alive, that meant he had reason to be mad, reason still to be out of the hole. A reason still to kill the red. Lowering its re-sharpened horns, it scrapped its fore-hoof against the grass, ripping a massive chunk of dirt and grass out and flinging it behind him, and then charging, steam almost billowing from its nose. This time, however, instead of trying to hit red directly, he would dig his horns into the dirt at the last minute, he couldn't dodge if he lost his footing.

Robert continued his barrage of bullets at Edgar. At that moment it was all he could focus on, until he he saw Priscilla out of the corner of his eye. Grayson was next to her, and by the way the two of them seemed to be acting, she seemed to be injured. He completely forgot about everything except the beautiful girl that had saved his life earlier. "Is she alright? Does she need help? Greyson's already over there, but what if it's serious? What if Greyson can't help because it's too serious of an injury for him to treat?" He couldn't think about anything except helping her, a deadly mistake when in the middle of combat. The forgotten Edgar made his move , and slammed into the ground beneath Robert's feet. Next thing Robert knew, he was rolling on his back, trying to avoid being stomped on by the huge monster. As soon as he got the chance, Robert switched his bracers into blade mode and stabbed Edgar right in his unarmored underbelly. If Edgar was mad before, he was furious now. Robert rolled out from under Edgar, only to receive a kick from Edgar's hind legs. Robert cried out in pain as his left shoulder dislocated from its socket. Robert was lucky that his arm didn't rip off, let alone break, he didn't feel to lucky at the time though. Edgar jumped and turned an entire 180 degrees in midair, expecting his target to be dead. Instead, a still living Robert used his undislocated arm to slash Edgar across the face, blinding one of Edgar's eyes. Now, no matter where he looked, no matter what he saw, Edgar would always see RED.

Upon hearing her 'partner's' words, Laura scowled at the rocks she clung to so tightly. That sounded outright... logical. She turned around and looked down at the girl, only to snarl. That... stupid smile on her face! No, her being right was unacceptable. Not with an expression like that. They were going to follow her plan and that was final. Narrowing her eyes at Trico, she spat a phrase that would no doubt leave her mouth many times throughout their partnership. "Shut up, Trico." With that, the girl clung tighter to the mountain side and made haste pulling herself up along the cliff face. This was going to take entirely too long... maybe she could speed it up though.

Gripping the ledge of the cliff and pulling herself up onto a safe haven among the side of the mountain, she glared down at Trico. The bracelets on her wrists clicked to life once more, then needle striking her tattoos and flooding the channels with white dust. The channels began to glow a brilliant white, giving her a rather majestic look as the sour puss stared down the mountainside. "Get up here and get into my arms." She demanded bossily. "We're going to get up this mountain my way, even if I have to carry you."

Priscilla turned her head seeing Greyson. "Im fine, grey. Dont worry about me! Lets kick this big ugly bull THINGIE!" She said nodding at her partner, excited because she had such an amazing and he was very good with fighting partner! So she felt safe with him, and with the others too. "Lets do this!" And with that she saw Greyson, freezing Edgar but it seemed the creature fought it as it attacked Robert, sending him rolling on the ground and hitting his left shoulder, she heard his cry and then thats when she got really angry. "Greyson! Robbie is hurt, go and distract that thing!" And with that Priscilla used her semblance as she phased underground, and walking towards her friend's side, now appearing behind him, by phasing back up to the ground as she grabbed his arm, wrapping it around her neck and going behind a tree. "Are you okay?!" Priscilla said looking at his left shoulder. "Ugh. Why am I so angry?!" Looking at a wounded teammate wasn't a very good thing to do in her book. Priscilla stood up and her weapon switched to kwan doe. "Be right back." She said walking away from Robert, but she did take him out of the battle area. Priscilla ran with her weapon on her hand and began to swing her kwan doe towards Edgar's skin, slashing it's left upper body as she landed behind Edgar and her weapon switched back to her rifle mode. As she ran towards the side where the skin was slashed, and began shooting bullets towards Edgar's wounded area, to make the bull get more into pain, just like it did with Robert. "AHH!!" She yelled angrily but Edgar raised it's leg, kicking Priscilla away as her body flew straight into a tree, hitting herself hard against it, falling on the ground, which caused more pain to her shoulder. "We need... To do something as a t.." Priscilla couldn't speak much, she stayed on the ground, not unconscious, but she was breathing heavily, exhausted and her body hurt like hell.

you got it gorgeous!" Greyson said smiling when she told him to distract Edgar and he charged and went to him but then he saw Robert get his arm broken and he ran over. He wanted to help as he went to Robert and said "clench your teeth this will hurt" Greyson told him as he grabbed the broken arm pulled then jammed it back into its socket seeing him in pain but at least his arm would be alright then Greyson an idea, a stupid one that might get him killed but it would really leave his teammates time to formulate a plan. "going to need to borrow your hoodie man" Greyson said forcibly taking Roberts red hoodie "get everyone and form a plan ill take care of distracting it" Greyson said as he used a round and grabbed Pricilla then as he rode back he put her next to Robert "make a plan and ill do my job" Greyson said as he went to Edgar and started his distraction

yo! ugly piece of horned shit!" Greyson yelled and when Edgar looked at him he would see Greyson holding up the red hoodie like a matador and see Edgar getting ready to chase and Greyson yelled "torro torro!" Greyson called and when Edgar started chasing him Greyson started to use his shotgun rounds to keep his distance for the time being, this strategy wouldn't work forever but as he suspected Edgar was focused on him so now it was up to his teammates to come up with a way to kill it...

Robert tried to fight the pain and stand. He leaned against the tree for support, then helped Priscilla get on her feet as well. "Tai get over to Greyson! The two of you will knock him over on his side! Do whatever you guys have to do!" Robert yelled to his partner. He turned to Priscilla, "Priscilla, when they knock him over we need to stab, shoot, hit, whatever him until he... well... dies. You up for it?" Robert wanted to make sure she wasn't too injured to continue. The two of them had been getting the majority of hits (to put it lightly) and if she didn't want to continue he wouldn't hold it against her. Of course it would be a whole lot more difficult without her.

Tai had been paying attention to the other fighti against Edgar as much as was reasonably possible when he was busy with his own battles. It wasn't like there weren't a lot of Grimm over here, and though he did what he could, he was still outnumbered. Fortunately he had aura, and nice, heavy, blunt weapons that he could use to smash them when they tried to get close, or pummel them from a long range. Meteor hammers were nice like that.

He had just finished tossing one of the smaller Sitting Bulls into another when Robert called out, telling him to get over there and help them. "Alright," he called back, disengaging and heading over, spinning his weapon in the while to keep up momentum. Joining up with Greyson, he leapt into the attack, one head flying out to slam into the things side like a sand bag to the gut, while the other would go for an underhanded swing, to get it off balance and then topple it over, in conjunction with whatever Greyson might do. Hopefully, it would be enough.

Once Greyson heard the plan he thought that he could have come up with that easily under the right circumstance of you know not being chased but Greyson bought time and waited till tai got close then Greyson stopped running waiting for the right moment then when Tai hit Edgar, Edgar inadvertently lurched forward just enough to hit Greyson when he had his semblance ready and once froze Greyson used his 2 second window and unloaded round after round on Edgar making sure to aim for the other eye and once the 2 seconds were up Edgar roared in pain being blinded completely. Greyson had his chance to tip the bull over before it started to rampage again and took it using a round to get to its side then After Tai finished his attack Greyson used one more round to propel himself towards Edgar's side and then gave a battle cry before slashing at its side knowing he cut in deep then he unloaded more making Edgar topple over to his side from the pain as Greyson quickly jumped away and set up another round of ammo into his sword making sure to jump in and unload more into the wound if need be, now it was Pricilla and Roberts turn to finish him off and put him out of his misery...

Gren took a deep breath as Kuhaku started yelling at him. He tried not to take it too personally; he figured the guy was just shocked at seeing the big robot coming. "Yeah, I got it. I just hope that robot didn't hear you." Gren kept The God Eater in it's Devastator form, but he had a fer more tricks he can do with it. He primed his weapon to get ready to fire it's high-explosive rockets, which hopefully would be enough to break it's cables. Gren hoped that the mech was as rusty and old as the other machines they fought, otherwise he had an idea of his own; cave the tunnel right onto the machine. At the risk of killing them, Gren could unleash the fury of The God Eater to collapse the tunnel and destroy everything inside. Hopefully it won't have to come to that. The mech continued walking over to Kuhaku and Gren, giving them less time to get ready. "Go! I'm ready to take out it's cables, just get it to turn around." Gren said in a low voice, in case the robot could hear and understand them.

Priscilla stood up slowly with the help of Robert ofcourse. "Thanks..." She gave him a small smile, taking a deep breath and now she got up to both of her feet, letting go of Robert. "I can do this." She told her teammate and now heard Robert giving the orders once again. "You know. You should be like the leader of the team. You would be great, Robbie. Haha." Priscilla closed her eyes clearing her throat and got back to serious mode. "Lets end this already..." Priscilla noticed Edgar being knocked out as her weapon was already in the perfect rifle mode, she reloaded it and looked at Robert. "Lets go!~ wait! I have an idea.... Can you go first and attack him, Robert? When your done. I will finish him off. Trust me on this." She winked at him and ran away from Robert. "Oh! And yell go! When your done, kay?" And with that Priscilla got next to Greyson and Tai, waiting for Robert.

Robert had no idea what Priscilla was planning, but Edgar was already down and he needed to work fast. He switched his weapon to gun mode and started firing. After emptying both clips into Edgar's chest, he switched his weapon to blade mode, jumped into the air and stabbed Edgar where the most amount of bullets had hit. Edgar roared in pain, but was somehow still alive. "Priscilla! Go!" Robert yelled. He backed off from Edgar, in case whatever she was about to required any space, then looked at her to see what she was going to do. He was actually excited to see what else this cute girl could do.

Priscilla looked at Robert as he began to attack Edgar, just like she planned. And it was going pretty good! Her plan was going to be a success! Probably. Priscilla heard Robert as she closed her eyes and ran towards Edgar, sliding on the ground and before she could touch Edgar's body, she phased underground now going below and phasing above now, being inside of Edgar's body, she began shooting alot of bullets around the creature's body, switching now to her katana mode weapon as she impaled her weapon, and slashed Edgar's body open as she soon came out and flew directly towards Robert, as they both fell on the ground and her body was full with blood(?, idk what do these Grimms have or something so idk). Priscilla giggled looking down at Robert, seeing that she was on top of him. "Woops." And from there she stood up clearing her throat, blushing and fixing her hair. "Well that was fun.." She said smiling at her teammates before she fell on the ground, breathing heavily while looking at the sky.

Greyson watched Pricilla tell Robert to go in and he wondered why as Robert did his thing then he watched Pricilla go in, at first Greyson wondered what she was doing until he heard gunfire inside Edgar! now that was extreme, Greyson watched smiling and laughed a little seeing her covered up in blood on top of Robert saying it was fun even. Greyson went over to her standing over her "now that was cool" Greyson said smiling at her. A cute pink haired girl that can change her fighting style at will and is willing to fight inside a grim to beat it, Greyson started to think he may be in love with this girl! "want some help?" he asked her smiling holding out his hand to her to help her up as he looked over at Robert and asked "you guys got your card now? I say this proves were meant to be a team" Greyson said smiling at both of their teammates

Trico heard Laura tell her to shut up all nasty and bad and so turned around and started heading down the mountain, putting distance between the 'perfect' girl that would clearly not care enough to think Trico's footsteps where getting quieter.
"Why'd I have to get paired with such a meanie?" she exclaimed, speaking to herself as much as whatever hidden vision thing Ozpin had watching us. "It's like the dumbest way to make teams ever. Maybe some people will work well together, or even change for their team-mates, but other times you get annoying, bratty girls like her!" Trico exclaimed angrily, picking up a rock and throwing it into the air, half wanting her Semblence to go smack Ozpin for being such an idiot. To her horror, the stone flew off into the distance, seeking out the professor.
"Crap, I hope there is a range limit of this or something, because I am so going to get in trouble if that thing does what it is meant to" She muttered, looking back up the mountain to Laura, who was glowing. "What is it now?" Trico thought, but didn't stop her descent. If she'd apologize and stop being so....anti-Trico

No more than thirty seconds deep in his trek into the murky darkness, Abel halted once more as he became aware of the ground faintly shaking beneath his feet. After quieting his breath, he quickly discovered that with every reverberation there came an accompanying noise from up ahead. Judging by his sense of hearing alone, Abel guessed that it was still several hundred feet away, around some sort of bend, and well beyond the range of his unpredictable electric light. He turned to Bridgett and exchanged a look with her, which she returned knowingly. Both suspected some sort of massive Grimm causing the tremors, and even though they were freshly free of a near-death encounter, neither felt like fleeing.

The sound of automatic gunfire, far more punctuated than that of a rifle, caught their attention. Without hesitation Abel took off running, swinging the Ampere with each stride and making its light even more frantic, and his partner followed close behind.

Upon rounding the bend, he beheld the scene. At first he didn't quite understand what he was seeing; when the mecha unleashed another fusillade of machine gun fire, illuminating its massive, inorganic form from the front, he quickly caught on. Despite the terrible light, he could hear and dimly see two humans fighting the thing. Truthfully, 'fighting' seemed an overstatement—at the moment, both were struggling to stay alive. They needed help.

Without waiting for any sort of confirmation from Bridgett, he ran forward, feet pounding against the railway. The urgency of his impetus effectively communicated his intentions to his partner, who ran after him. As he moved, Abel brought the Ampere level with the massive robot's back, waiting just for a moment to get a better idea of its scale. The thing absolutely dwarfed him, almost scraping the train tunnel's ceiling, which constrained it somewhat. Making a rough estimate as to the location of the mecha's upper back, he channeled his semblance to fire off a lightning bolt.

While the surge of electricity didn't seem to damage the mecha -or even stun it, for that matter- it managed to acquire the robot's attention. Its waist swiveled around to face Abel, leaving its back at roughly 60* angle to Gren. Abel, meanwhile, became very aware of the fact that the humongous machine's focus was now on him. TARGET ACQUIRED, it thundered, and Abel let go of the Ampere. “Please work,” he begged, and threads of electricity linked his hands and his weapon as span it at high speed in front of him. When the mecha opened fire, showering with bullets, most were intercepted by the spark-wreathed Ampere, sent flying off to the side or ricocheting back. One out of every hundred or so penetrated his makeshift barrier, however, and one of them grazed his cheek, making him flinch. “Do something!” He bellowed.

Robert was shocked to see Priscilla do what she did. He had never met a girl who was willing to do anything like that. Then he suddenly found himself tackled by Priscilla. "Whoops," she said as she got back up. "It's alright," he responded. "Wow! I have got to learn more about this girl," he thought. Then Greyson said something about the card, so Robert dug into his pocket and pulled it out to confirm Greyson's question. "Got it right here. Whoo. We did it team," he clenched his fist and pumped it in the air, all while still lying down on the ground. He would have shouted the words as well, but he was just too out of breath. Finally, he stood up and looked at Priscilla, "Thanks for saving me, like twice, by the way." He said it in a sort of embarrassed tone when he realized how many times he had to have been rescued. "Oh, and thanks for helping me with my arm, Greyson. Good job with the other Sitting Bulls, Tai." He thanked everyone for their part in the fight. Then he looked around, "Um, so now what?"

Priscilla brushed herself off as she looked around and noticed her friend Greyson. As she grabbed his hand standing up straight and now letting go of it. Priscilla giggled. "I gotta shower! And I may need some medical attention, im not quite sure yet. But im feeling good. Now. I guess..." She said clearing her throat and placing her hand back on its holster, as both of her hands were now on her hips." It felt good knowing that they had to work as a team to defeat Edgar and they did such an amazing job together! It was super fun too! Priscilla turned her head to Robert. "Uhhh. I have no idea, should we head back to the ship or something? Or do we need to like wait for a whistle or something for this to be finished?? To be honest... I dont think, I can fight...but ... If we need to vote, I vote Robbie to be the leader." She nodded looking at Robert smiling at him and then back at Greyson. "Are you okay...?"

Greyson grinned "please sweetheart no giant sitting bull is going to hurt me" Although Greyson acted tough he was pretty sure if he made the wrong move he would fall to the ground with his broken leg, he was still standing but he was good at hiding his pain, mainly because the adrenaline pumping through his veins also acted as a natural pain resistant like morphine but obviously once his battle rage goes down then he will end up groaning in pain or worse. If they don't get medical attention eventually that is and as Pricilla put it to a vote about leader Greyson sighed a little kind of wishing he would be leader but he had to face facts in this team he was the heavy hitter that could fight forever but if given time he could come up with good plans. " ill vote for Robert to however if Robert is leader then I request the position of heavy hitter and strategy maker. we could come up with amazing combination moves like we did with Edgar and I can make even better ones if given the time to think them up." Greyson said wanting to make sure he got that position before agreeing to letting Robert lead them

His hit successful, Tai glanced over as Greyson did a follow up, before shifting back to let Priscilla and Robert finish the thing off. He was adequately satisfied by the whole affair. Perhaps he hadn't shown his utmost potential, but it wasn't like this was entrance exam, it was to make a team. There was plenty of time to show further layers as they year went on.

Then the thing fairly exploded, Priscilla having apparently phased through the ground and into the thing somehow, which he found odd and led to him wondering about the limits of her Semblance, since the average person would assume that there was no open space inside a Grimm for her to become solid again, and thus she wouldn't be able to harm it when she was inside it. But apparently he was wrong. Glancing around, he saw that any Grimm left had decided that discretion was the better part of survival and fled.

Walking over to the dissolving Grimm corpse, he gave it a once over of the aftermath, wondering as well how it had gotten there, nodding quietly in response to Robert's compliment, before returning to the group. "Yes, we should head back to our start point," he confirmed. He figured they would all prefer to leave the Grimm infested area as rapidly as possible. "I also believe that the teachers will be assigning team leader," he added.

Hearing Trico's obvious protests to her behavior via her very verbal form of venting, Laura could only scowl more. Great, she was going to have a temper tantrum rather than following orders so they could complete the test. Maybe it would be better if she did abandon the girl! That thought was punctuated by Trico climbing back down the mountain, wasting even more time in the process. Aggravated by this, Laura turned her gaze towards the mountain's peak. Fine. She didn't need a partner. She'd conquer the test alone, or maybe find someone else who had managed to scale the mountain top. This little derp could find somebody else to irritate and if the headmaster took issue, he could take it up with her. Laura had done her part in tolerating another person long enough. Summoning up her aura to control the dust surging across her flesh, she pushed off the rock below and fired herself into the air with a burst of dust, slowing her decent with the same dust as she fell towards another ledge, before pushing off that as well, using her dust to propel her from rock to rock as she ascended the mountain. Hopefully she could find something.

"Abel!" Seeing the monstrosity turn towards her partner she moved to takle him out of the way, but sewing that his improvised shield was going to do much better protecting him she settled for trying to take advantage of what little protection she could get out of it.

When Abel bellowed for help she raised her own voice in reply "What do you expect me to do? Fly over his---" she froze mid sentence as an idea came to her mind. Calculating distances and velocities in her mind she raised her voice as much as she could. "YOU TWO! GET READY TO MOVE AS SOON AS I DO THIS, I DON'T THINK YOU WILL HAVE MUCH TIME! Abel, try to hold on a little longer!" mumbling to herself her voice was lost amid the din of gunfire echoing in the tunnel "This is really gonna hurt..." Backing up behind Abel she tried to ignore the hissing and buzzing of bullets and shrapnel from the tunnel walls zipping past her head. Tanking a running start at the tunnel wall she took a few steps up it at an angle, moving her out of the direct line of fire. pushing off as hard as she could she began to arc a graceful flip though the air, midway through she hurled Rakurai at the shoulder of the machine. When it spun around and lodged itself between two plates she triggered the mechanism in her weapon pulling herself towards the robot at high speed. As she closed in she angles herself so that she would pass under its arm and use the momentum of her weapon to swing up onto its back. Her landing barely cause the mech to budge but she grabbed one of the ammo belts and began pulling as hard as she could, altering the trajectory of fire just enough that Abel was under signifigantly less pressure and her opponent was now shooting at the wall. "NOW!" she yelled through strained teeth.
