Greyson sighed as he went back to working on his blade, he was not going to stop sharpening until it was as sharp as ever. Greyson's blade was his life if it got blunt or if was broken during battle then Greyson would die along with it. Greyson was going to keep sharpening until it could cut a line of hair. Greyson wanted to be out with Pricilla but his leg needed till tomorrow to heal fully and Greyson didn't like it, it was almost like he was back to the chair all over again thankfully this would only last for a day. Greyson looked at tai and decided he wanted a conversation with him even if it was much. "so tai, how did you find Robert?" Greyson asked seeing as how it was a simple question and it wouldn't be bad to answer since it wasn't personal and recent. Greyson just wanted to understand his partner better seeing as how he seemed to be the quiet one of the group....

Priscilla was minding her business, apparently she was speaking wit herself because Robert was trying to search for food? Probably. She raised an eyebrow but stayed away because she was alergic to wasps/bees. Everytime she was either poke with the needle, it wouldn't be to pretty. "Robbie. Please stop. I'm alergic to wasps and Im not trying to get stinged.." She said nervously, but she was going to stay alert and hear anything if anything is wrong that is. Priscilla shook her head walking closer to Robert and grabbing his hand, as their fingers locked with one another and she dragged him away quietly. "Don't do that. You know how they are. Besides...we could always go look for some freshly apple trees!" Priscilla smiled at him, holding his hand tightly as she walked away with him, his hands were soft but she loved it. "So, I can't believe you would go for that trouble just to get me food. That's sweet."
As Robert continued his vigilant watch for the winged demons that were Rapier Wasps, Priscilla suddenly grabbed his hand and dragged him away. At first he felt foolish for all of the effort he had put into finding food, until Priscilla said she admired him for it. Then he felt pride. As they continued their walk, Robert tried to think of something to say. "So, I like your hair," he said, "it's very, umm, pink." "Smooth, Robert. Smooth," he thought to himself. "Next you're going to say you like the sun for being really sunny. Or you like ice for being very icey. Idiot!" he continued thinking. "Wait, what's that noise?" he said aloud as Gren's Junk-Mobile passed over his head.

Still hunkered down, Abel heard neither Kuhaku nor Gren. As such, when a wave of heat and pressure passed through both he and the cart, he was both literally and figuratively stunned. While his teammates clutched the cart, Abel simply slid out, with Gren not noticing in time to extend his friction semblance to stop him. At first, the guardian seemed more surprised than frightened; it was with a sort of blank stare that he hurtled through the air. Luckily, the slap of wind against his face galvanized him into action after only two seconds.
Abel's first action was to groan. Having done enough panicking in the junkmobile before it went airborne, he knew it would do him little good now. Honestly, he was surprised he was taking a plunge of near-certain death so lightly; any other person would have been screaming in fear. Or was he so afraid that he couldn't act? No time to think about it, only enough to find out. The Ampere detached from his back on its own and clapped into Abel's open right hand. He quickly looked where he would be crashing down, and saw the airship's hull gleaming in the morning sun. Despite leaving the cart, his inertia had been preserved, and he was on course to splatter against it only a second or two after his teammates did.
He briefly considered trying to embed the Ampere into a passing tree, but realized that the force of the sudden stop would rip his arms off. He also knew that his lightning bolts provided no recoil. As the earth began to draw worryingly close, a crazy idea finally popped into his head. Channeling his semblance, he twisted until he was in a laying-down position, then pulled his legs up and tensed the muscles to spring. Beneath his feet went the shaft of the Ampere, and he pushed off it with a double kick.
The effects were immediately apparent. His forward momentum was halved, while his weapon's was doubled. Not particularly eager to see his prized polearm shoot off into the sunset, however, Abel extended a hand and summoned it back toward him. While the electric bond didn't move quickly enough to reunite them immediately, Abel knew the weapon would follow him to wherever he ended up. The next instant, his line-of-sight was cut off as his tumbled through the signature crimson leaves of Forever Fall's arbor.
He landed somewhat heavily on the ground, though the foliage had done much to break his fall. Unbeknownst to him, Robert and Priscilla were only a few meters away. Oblivious, Abel just lay there on the ground, testing his joints to make sure that nothing was broken.

The eyes of a predator, not prey, the small tightening of the jaw when a predator smelled its prey before the prey is seen, the tightening of sinew and tendon at the moment before the predator attacks, and the soft whistle of the blade as it sinks halfway through the flesh and brute strength cleaves the rest of the way, one was made two in a mere half a second. The curve of the lip when the sport was finished. Eyes swiveled from side to side in a 270 degree view of his surroundings. Eyes narrowed to the point of becoming similar to a snake's this irises, ready for the next game to begin.
Gideon was in utter calm, despite his new surroundings, he was taking part in what he lived for, the underbrush gave away movement in the slightest shake and the scents, stimulated by the moist medium, were sharp upon his nose. Gideon's wounds hardly even smarted anymore and all but his arm had stopped bleeding entirely, becoming of no circumstance to Gideon as he walked and hunted beside Beliya.
"Why did you come to this school, Beliya? Seems everybody has a story they are often eager to tell." Gideon asks after minutes of silence, his gaze falling upon her head, though she'd have to look up to make eye contact.

As the junk-mobile soared through the air towards the drop ship, Kuhaku for the life of him could not contain his glee. As they hung in the air for a few moments, he even stood up in the carriage of the vehicular abomination and threw his arms up as if it were all one big joy ride to him. The look in his eyes and sound of his laughter grew more and more layered with insanity. As they began their descent and plummeted towards the side of the drop ship, Kuhaku gripped the sides of the carriage and ducked low. A hungry look in his expression.
"WHOOO-HOO-HOO-HOO! HAHAHAHAHAHA! WHEEEEEEEEE!" was all that could leave his mouth, nearly shrieking.
As the junk-mobile greeted the side of the drop ship, violently jostling the students, Kuhaku took a tumble and nearly fell out. Positioned on his back in an awkward curled ball with his clothing astray, his laughing continued non-stop. How he had the lung capacity for all of this no one could even begin to fathom. Slipping and sliding, he rolled out of the vehicle and safely onto the ground where he lay spread-eagle on his face. Slowly rising from the ground, he hiccuped and snorted in between his laughs. Eventually, he began to calm down, the psychotic joy-ride now over with. Breathing in slowly and deeply, his lungs stole a much needed break. Wiping away at tears from the corners of his eyes, he stood and turned to Gren.
Lunging, he slammed into Gren and grabbed his shoulders with both of his gloved hands.
"THAT...WAS...AWESOME!" he nearly screamed at Gren, shaking him as violently as he could as he did.
"WE HAVE GOT TO DO THAT AGAIN, THAT WAS SO FREAKIN' FUN!" from this point on, his words came rapid-fire. Incomprehensible due to his chattering speed.
After a few minutes of blabbering, he stopped and turned around. Pointing a finger at 'Belle', himself, and Gren he only counted three team members.
"Wait...where's Abel?..." he asked, turning back to look at Gren.

Priscilla and Robert continued their little walk, they were holding hands too! "Haha. You like my hair? Thank you. That's sweet." She didn't know what to compliment back to him, but she said something. "I uhhhh.... Your hand is soft.." Priscilla said blushing because that was such a stupid comment, who says that? "You could've said his smile was cute or his hair! But no, Priscilla you can't say nothing!" She thought to herself and stopped hearing a noise. "I uhh.. Don't know..want to go check it out or leave it alone?" Priscilla said looking at Robert and waiting for his next action, he was the man so she was going to follow whatever he says.

Robert considered Priscilla's question. He really wanted to continue their walk. When he saw one of the students seemingly fall out of the sky only a few meters away though, he knew he had to help. "Why is it that I can't seem to get a minute alone with this girl, without something getting in the way?" he thought to himself. Robert let out a heavy sigh. "I think we'll need to put the rest of our walk on hold. We should probably see if everyone's alright. Let's start with that guy over there," he said, pointing at Abel. Robert approached Abel at a half-sprint. "Hey, dude. You need any help? Are you hurt?" he asked. He stuck his hand out to help Abel up if he needed it.
Tai listened, and watched, his brow furrowing as he thought he heard the sound of rapidly approaching gunfire, and saw some strange cart thing that came crashing to the ground somewhere nearby. But perhaps that was just his imagination. Where would anyone even get a vehicle in the middle of Forever Fall? It wasn't like there were any roads around.
Greysons question brought him back to the moment, and he looked over to the injured man who was still sharpening his sword. He shrugged. "We met while walking through the forest on parallel paths. I think he had just been attacked by rapier wasps, possibly." He tried to remember what had just happened, to make sure he was correct, and he couldn't think of anything to contradict what he said besides Robert saying otherwise, so he was good.
A slight grin, and Tai added to that. "I get the feeling that Robert is very unlucky, when it comes to nature and just things in general." Of course, that was his opinion, but it seemed to be a reasonable one.

Greyson nodded listening to tai explain how he met Robert and Greyson smiled seeing tai smile recounting his tale on how he met his partner. At least Greyson got him to smile so that meant he was making progress, Greyson kept sharpening his sword wondering what to talk about next so he then talked about he meet Priscilla "I met Priscilla when I was cornered by a bunch of beyowolfs and when she killed two I showed of killing the rest"

Abel's eyes cracked open, and the hand of Robert was the first thing they beheld. Reaching down to help up someone fallen was a selfless act, and one the guardian could really do with right now.
None of that crossed his mind. To him, hot anger came in the wake of fear. Announcing “Flying sucks hard,” he slapped away Roberts hand rudely and then rose to his feet too quickly. For a second he saw stars as the sudden motion messed with his head, but when he composed himself he stood more than an inch taller than the teen that would have helped him. A frigid frown plastered the guardian's face. “Don't need your pity. Need less dickheads. You're not helping there.” His azure eyes glared into Robert's red, though he was somewhat conscious of the fact that this guy had done absolutely nothing deserve this.
Interrupting the tense moment, the Ampere slipped down through the trees overhead and embedded itself in the ground a few feet away. Glad for an excuse to go away, Abel sauntered over and pulled it up with one hand. Without saying anything -or even turning to face them- he began to hastily stagger away, his obvious intention to left Robert and Priscilla behind.

"Abel!!"
Bridgett reached out for her partner as he flew from the vehicle, but was unable to reach him without risking falling from this flying deathtrap herself. Instead she mentally marked where he fell as Gren Jumped up onto the dashboard. Almost before the machine came to a stop she was out and running towards the forest as fast as she could and just as her other partner asked "Wait... Where's Abel?..." she leaped off the cliff face and used Rakurai to attach herself to the zipline that would take her closest to where he would have landed.
As she sped through the intervening distance she tried to focus on her semblance, banking on using that to speed up the search for Abel. Unfortunately the farther she got from the faunus, the more the pain of her broken bones returned to her conscious mind, reducing her effective range to a fraction of what it normally was. Pushing the pain from her mind as best as possible, she dropped off the line as close as it would take her, plummeting straight to the ground without even trying to slow down, relying on her Aura to keep her alive.
She hit the ground running, heedless of her safety, she sped through the forest at breakneck speeds, leaving behind confounded Grimm of every class. Spinning and twisting, using her semblance to know which branches to push off of, which to avoid, and which to use Rakurai to speed her along even faster, she became an electric blue blur as she used her Aura to speed her through the crimson red leaves of the forest.
When she finally picked up her partner with her semblance she bolted straight towards him barreling past a pair of confused students knocking one poor unfortunate soul straight onto his back. She came skidding to a stop beside Abel, her momentum digging deep furrows into the earth and loam of the forest floor.
"Abel! There you are! Are you OK? What happened?" She stammered, nearly panicking, as she tried to check him over with her one good arm, the adrenaline of the moment not allowing her to process neither pain, nor the students she had rudely shoved aside moments ago.

Priscilla sighed letting go of Robert's hand as they walked towards the guy, who needed help, or well he didn't actually want their help. She rose an eyebrow as she saw him slapping Robert's hand away. That was not nice! "Hey!" She said pointing her index finger at Abel. "Do not do that to him! He was just trying to help you out. You are so ungrateful!" Priscilla yelled at Abel as he walked away, and noticed a girl going to him. She rolled her eyes at them and turned to face Robert. "Are you alright.."?" She asked with a very worried voice, mixed with a bit of anger.
All that Robert was doing was to help the guy out, he stopped their walk just to help them out. It was really f'd up for him to do that. Maybe they shouldn't just not be nice to people anymore. This is why she sometimes hates being nice to people, they are ungrateful, if it was him close to death, would he slap his hand away again? Or perfer actual help? Wow. Priscilla shook her head as she placed her hand on her teammate's shoulder. "Should we just continue to walk?"

After Abel slapped Robert's hand away, Robert looked down at his hand in confusion. He was just trying to help the guy and was repaid with slap in the hand and an insult to the face. "Whoa, what's this guy's problem?" he thought. Abel began to walk away, so Robert began to do the same. After turning around though, he let out an "Uff!" as a blue streak suddenly knocked him to the ground. He got back up and turned around to see Bridgett following Abel. "Ow!" he shouted to the girl, trying to point out her lack of apology. "Whatever," he said with a tone of irritation. A sound of happiness came back to his voice though when Priscilla asked if he was alright. "Yeah, I'm good," he answered. Then she asked if he wanted to continue their walk. "Sure, these guys seem to be alright on their own." He gave a small scowl in Abel and Bridgett's direction before walking away. He turned to face the direction he was walking just in time to catch his fall after tripping on a rock. "Gah, dang it," he said out loud. "Today is just not my day," he thought to himself. He smiled as he turned to Priscilla though, and realized that that thought wasn't at all true.

Priscilla nodded towards Robert as she looked back at the two, rolling her eyes at Abel and turned towards Robbie continuing to walk behind him. "Why was he being so rude to you though?" Priscilla asked Robert, before he tripped on a rock falling! She couldn't help but to laugh at him, still at the same time she walked closer to him hoping that he was alright. First inside the ship, now here? "Haha. You sure do love the ground." Priscilla said patting his back ad she helped him up and they continued their walk. "So. What do you want to do now? Wanna go back to the others? To be honest, that guy messed up my mood to walk. I just wanna sit down." She hated people like Abel. Well not hate but dislikes!

Robert was a little disappointed that Priscilla wanted to go back to the ship, but decided that the previous interaction with the other students really had killed the mood. "Sure, if you want to, let's head back," he said. As they got closer and closer to the airship, Robert noticed two other students standing outside of it, surrounded by scrap metal and mechanical parts. "What happened here?" Robert thought. When he and Priscilla had reached a distance close enough for a casual conversation with the students, he thought of saying "hello" and introducing himself. Two things changed his mind about taking such action though. One, they both appeared to be fauneses and Robert knew from personal experience that sometimes with fauneses, friendliness can be mistaken for mocking. Also, the previous conversation with, what he assumed was the rest of their team, didn't go so well. So, instead of being too friendly, Robert raised his hand and nodded at them as a sign of greetings. If they wanted to talk to him, he would let them come to him at their own free will.

To protect himself from the spray of grass and loam kicked up by Bridgett's sudden stop, Abel pivoted sideways and threw up an elbow to cover his face. He brushed dirt from his already-dirty coat and batted away his teammate's hand as she tried to touch him. “Didn't you notice? I fell from Gren's scrapheap. If my aura had been any lower I coulda been seriously hurt, and if it was you that had fallen, we'd be down a team member. Permanently!” Pausing, he permitted himself a second to watch Robert and Priscilla leave, absolutely untouched by their words. “No way in hell am I ever going along with one of that dude's wacko plans again.”
While he still felt some aggressive urges, he found that his rage was quickly dwindling. It seemed wrong, no matter how pissed he was, to take it out on Bridget. She legitimately seemed to hold concern for him. Still, a little consideration from another being for once didn't assuage his pain. He flexed his shoulders and winced. “Speaking of hurt, my back is killing me. That fall really did a number on me. Let's see what Gren has to say about it, eh?” Leaning upon the Ampere support, he followed Bridgett back to the airship.
Making surprisingly good time thanks to Bridgett's newfound knowledge of the terrain, the pair arrived only a few moments after Priscilla and Robert did. Abel's frown deepened, but he made no move to press the issue with them. Instead, he made his way straight to Gren.
“Idiot! I could have been killed! If it were Bridge that fell, she'd be dead!” Though he didn't intend to, electricity sparked up and down the length of the Ampere in a slightly threatening manner. Without any hesitation, he continued, drowning out Gren's initial response. “There was no rush! By deciding you needed to be the big impressive tech guy, you put your allies at risk.” The voltage died away, and Abel seemed to relax now that he had vented. “If we're a team now, we've got to look out for each other,” he beseeched.

"Good for you," Tai replied somewhat disinterestedly. For some reason, he had a problem with a person explicitly stating that in their first meeting they had been showing off their abilities. If he could kill them all, then why had he let himself get cornered in the first place? To engineer a situation by which someone would be forced to come to his aid, thus ensuring he got a partner with decent combat skills? An interesting, and probably effective strategy, but one that Tai found a little morally queasy.
Or maybe he was just averse to the showing off portion. Personally, he would try to brag or otherwise exaggerate his abilities, and thus leave people with a false impression that could be disastrous later on. He'd do what he could, to the best of his abilities, and leave it at that. If Greyson felt otherwise, then so be it.
For the moment, he waited still for people to arrive so they could head back

The moment Kuhaku realized that they had lost Abel, Miss Belle took off sprinting towards the cliff edge and leaped over the side.
"W-wait! You shouldn't just run off like that!...Alone..." having reached out towards her as she ran off, his ears drooped and he lowered his arm.
As she disappeared into the crimson ocean that was Forever Falls, Kuhaku sighed and looked over his shoulder. Shooting Gren a nervous look, he turned back around and carefully walked up to the cliff edge. Sitting, his glowing blue eyes then scanned the canopy for any sign of the two of them as his legs hung over the side, swinging back and forth. Just as his team had formed up and they made their way back, they had lost a member in the chaos and another to go search for him. As his tail swayed back and forth behind him, he wondered if he was wrong for having enjoyed himself the way he did. Should he have taken things a bit more seriously? Frowning, he grabbed a piece of scrap metal next to him and chucked it at the forest below him.
Addressing Gren, "Should we go after them and bring them b-..." As he turned his words were cut off as he saw two other students approach. One was a human male with red hair, curiously looking at the wreckage Gren's contraption left behind. The other a female with pink-hair, also human.
"What happened here?" questioned the red-haired human male.
Almost glaring, Kuhaku quickly grew annoyed. What's with the humans and their inability to politely greet others and introduce themselves? Wasn't that basic manners and etiquette when meeting new people? The male simply raised a hand and nodded at them, like that was enough to suffice for a greeting. Huffing, Kuhaku turned away and reached up to pull his hood over his head. His tail swaying restlessly behind him from his irritation.
"What's it look like? Crashed." He muttered in response to the male. Sulking, still.
It was then that Abel and Miss Belle had returned, moments behind the Ms. Pink and Mr. Red. Immediately, his mood did a 180 degree flip and his expression visibly brightened as he saw them approach. "Well, that was fast!" Standing, he took a few steps towards them before freezing in his tracks.
His Semblance decided it was time to punish him again.
As the black stripes on his tail and ears faded away to brown and eventually vanished, his eyes lost their glow and color along with his stripes. As he stood there, his voice caught in his throat, he saw the blurred image of Abel storming towards Gren. He was angry for some reason, but Kuhaku couldn't discern why. Abel was shouting or yelling at Gren, but he couldn't tell. His hearing was lost as all sounds became muffled, distorted, garbled nonsense. His skin quickly grew cold as his body broke out in thin film of sweat. Gulping, Kuhaku willed himself to continue walking. Hoping that no one would notice his sudden change in state, his black hood to hide under. He had sustained his Semblance for too long trying to ease Miss Belle's pain. That would make twice today that he had to use his Semblance for an extended period of heavy usage, his body and mind has reached its limits.
Silently, he walked past all of his fellow students and made his way to where the medical team was on stand by, waiting to accept any injuried or wounded students. They were about to be put to work. He stood there, trembling quietly as the medical staff gave him curious looks. One was talking to him, asking him...what? He couldn't hear them, he couldn't understand. All he could do was will himself to stand.
Under his breath, he whispered repeatedly "D-don't forget...don't f-forget...don't forget..."
He balled his hands into tight fists as he began to sway from side to side, starting to lose his balance.
"W-wait! You shouldn't just run off like that!...Alone..." having reached out towards her as she ran off, his ears drooped and he lowered his arm.
As she disappeared into the crimson ocean that was Forever Falls, Kuhaku sighed and looked over his shoulder. Shooting Gren a nervous look, he turned back around and carefully walked up to the cliff edge. Sitting, his glowing blue eyes then scanned the canopy for any sign of the two of them as his legs hung over the side, swinging back and forth. Just as his team had formed up and they made their way back, they had lost a member in the chaos and another to go search for him.

"Hah? Abel's gone? Must have dropped him on the way here... Well let's-" Before Gren could even finish what he was going to say, Bridget dashed off in a flash of lightning. She was certainly going faster than anything Gren could muster. He just hoped she wouldn't hurt herself too much either, he wasn't sure if he could put together another buggy. Gren took a moment to reflect on his actions. He wondered if, perhaps, he should have been more careful. Abel seemed like the type of person who would have been able to handle the ride, so Gren didn't exactly consider consulting them about his actions. He reached into his pocket and took out his card. "A king.... A good king does the will of the people, not of himself. Hmm... I guess.... That doesn't make me a good king..." Gren said solemnly. Soon Kuhaku came up to him suggesting that they go look for Abel and Bridget. Putting the card away he nodded in agreement, but it was rendered pointless as Abel and Bridget came back themselves. Gren was initially delighted, but than he saw Abel's face. Gren knew that look. The look of withheld anger and disappointment. A face Gren was all too familiar with. He knew what was going to come and immediately Gren did just as he would have done before; he put up his walls and took the coming anger in silence.
Sure enough Abel's first words to Gren was to call him an idiot. He asked Gren what would have happened if Bridget had fallen out, and that they were in no rush. He also thought Gren was trying to show off, and while Gren wanted to defend his case, he doubt that Abel was looking for his excuses. He just wanted to vent, and Gren was going to let him. With things like this there no justifying it. You just take the hits and move on. It's not like Gren had any reason himself that he thought would justify what he did; he could say that he worried about having to fight more Grimm on the way through the forest with everyone so worn out. He could also mention that it's not as though they were told if there was or wasn't a time limit; they can't lag for too long, surely, or else the teachers would assume the worse. No one was going to come and save them, who's to say that anyone was going to come and search for them? But no, Gren stood in stoic silence, his face expressionless. He only had a few words to say on the matter. "I'm sorry..." He said with great saddness.
"Well shit. Not only did I nearly kill Bridget, but I pissed off Abel too. One hell of an impression I'm making...." Gren looked down in depression. He turned away in shame, only for his attention to change when he noticed that Kuhaku was gone. Gren half-expected the faunas to say something but now Gren can see why he didn't; he was gone. Gren looked around and saw Kuahku near by. From the way he was swaying Gren could guess that Kuhaku was nearing his limit too. He ran over to Kuhaku just in time to grab him before he fell. "Kuhaku? Kuhaku, are..." Gren didn't finished asking, because of course Kuhaku wasn't okay. No one in his team was. Everyone was hurt and had mixed feelings about... Well, everything. Abel was angry. Kuhaku was out cold, or at least near it. Gren didn't know where Bridget was, but he couldn't imagine that she was too pleased about what happened either. And Gren wasn't feeling to hot either. He hoped that the King's Card was just superficial, because if he was expected to lead the team, he's doing a bad job at it. Barely had control over their battle with the mech, nearly killed two of his teammates, and now it seems like everyone is in a dour mood.
Regardless however, Gren was not going to give up. he couldn't. There was no where else to go but forward. So for better or for worse, he had to keep going. Just like before he'll have to take the pain, the punishment, and the humiliation in silence. It was certainly a skill he had a lot of experience with. He had just hoped that he wouldn't have to practice it anylonger at Beacon, but the past had a way of crawling back.

Priscilla noticed Robert being disappointed so she decided to make it up for him! "Fi-" and thats when he continued to walk, she followed right behind him. "Alright..." She said quietly with her head down, her hands digged into her jacket pocket, as she noticed Robert stopping and a few others aswell. She was going to ask if everything was alright, but she decided not to say such thing because of what happened earlier on. Priscilla was not in the mood to be talking to people, especially that idiot guy. Priscilla noticed Robert wanting to stay as she didn't say anything, turning around as she would make her way back towards the ship where her other teammates are at. There was a feeling of disappointment in herself for making Robert disappointed, she didn't want to make him fell that way. This is one of the reasons why she shouldn't have friends, somehow she ends up hurting them and it's not a good thing in her book. All she wants is everyone to be happy! So, that's what she did, she made her way back to the ship, hopefully Robert would follow, she wasn't going to push him into following her, he could do whateveeeer he wanted!
