"Just... GO. Pick your teammate and get the relic once you launch and GO!" Her angry voice echoed all around and she sighed as her riding crop swished through the air in her motions. This was way more work than she thought it would be. [hr] [center][color=Gold][h2]Rood von Rah[/h2][/color] [@BCTheEntity][@floodtalon][/center] [hr] Rood held on tightly to Vlad as they swung around on Vlad's similar weapon contraption. Once they had come to a stop, Rood looked up at Vlad whose forearm he still tightly gripped. [quote]"Well, Rood," Vlad started dismissively, looking down to assess the drop, "you did a fine job of declawing that giant bastard. Taking it out of the sky, not so much. Now, how do you feel about going down there and finishing it off?" He looked to Rood for an answer, the prior grin starting to return as he relished the thought of a halfway-challenging fight, even if it was with a crippled opponent.[/quote] Rood stared up at Vlad a moment, his scowl still evident as he contemplated a response. He began to speak, but was sharply cut off by the sound of a loud whistle from the tree beside them, causing the red eyed young man to look up at the newcomer with raised brows. [quote]"Yo, which way do the bird go? I wanna take that sucker down." He said with venom in his voice, man he hated Nevermores. He shook his head and took a deep breath. "No, that was rude. Let me try again, I'm Chen Jet. I like bad jokes, video games, and other things. Nice to meet you two." He flashed a smile but stayed on alert in case the Nevermore came back. He then looked over to where they were facing and saw it. "Nevermind about the bird."[/quote] [color=gold]"No, [i]I'm[/i] Rood,"[/color] The blonde gestured to himself with a large hand on his chest, his usual scowl returning. He looked down at his feet, which began to glow on the base of the armor. Slowly, he let go of Vlad's arm and walked across to the newcomer who had introduced himself as Chen as though there were an invisible walkway between the trees and where Vlad had stopped their fall. He stuck his hand out to the newcomer, eyes intense as usual. [color=gold]"Rood von Rah."[/color] Whenever the shake would be over, Rood looked to Vlad again, then glanced to where the Nevermore had fallen. [color=gold]"The Nevermore is a threat, I agree, but I believe we should find the others before we head on out... That Grimm seemed different from the usual types. I've never seen anything like it."[/color] The muscular young man folded his bronze arms over his painted chest, [color=gold]"What would be the point in maiming an already downed Grimm anyways?"[/color] Rood glanced over at Chen. [color=gold]"You should go get the relics before that... thing comes back and destroys their location altogether."[/color] [hr] At that moment, the Retrograde that had swallowed Rowan and Bonny opened it's great maw, screeching as it came to the surface of the meadow the Nevermore was now hopelessly flapping about in, having lost both it's talons. The Retrograde let out a roar and snatched up the great bird in its massive jaws, causing the Nevermore to screech in agony as it was being swallowed by a glorified worm. The stomach lining, where Rowan and Bonny were, became dark as the incoming hulk hurdled down the throat towards them. The shaking of the ground here was so great it drew everyone, even Glynda's, attention. She ran to the cliffs edge, disturbed by what she was seeing and covered her mouth. Behind her hand, she whispered. "This cannot be...!"
