Funny thing about combat. Moving, retreating, attacking--everything you do opens you up to the right opponent, if they've got the means and knowledge to take advantage of it. Of course... That gets a lot easier if the opposition can see everything you do in high definition slow motion. The Manticore was moving its ponderous mass off of the roof, tail sweeping...
And the Huntress was already in motion. Regardless of what Ben was doing, she'd seen an opening. While the creature was spinning and repositioning itself, she was already running toward it, aiming-and stabbing the spear's butt at the ground near the Manticore's left paw, using the end to vault onto the appendage and land with something approaching grace, if not action movie swagger.
She could already hear a "girl knows how to work the pole" jab emanating from Lauren's general direction. The faunus wasn't entirely sure there wasn't a joke about her slightly above knee length boots coming on the ether as well, but she could tolerate that one, seeing as the thick leather was shielding her skin from the poison coating the Manticore's fur.
Before the creature could react--as the normally quadrupedal animal would have to balance before it could swipe at her--she was in motion again, running up the limb and right at the creature's face, looking for all intents and purposes like she was going to strike at it, despite the bone plating... Only to dodge to the size, the spikes of the creature's mane too big to impale her as she made a run for the massive spines coming from the Manticore's back, finally reaching one and getting a clear shot behind her--
Now, it would have time to react, only to find the Fury launched at maximum power toward the unarmored back of its head at maximum power and velocity, only 10-15 feet away for a powering mechanism used to firing at stone at over 40.

Lighter note, I came across an old Amy thing from last Christmas.

BASL Christmas Thing also known as Kaithas got bored

It was dark. Really dark, actually, dark enough even Amy’s eyes were having trouble adjusting—until she fumbled in the darkness and turned the power strip on, the tree lighting up in its full festive glory. She smiled slightly, readjusting the Santa hat over her crimson spikes and feathers, taking a second to breathe in the scent of pine needles, then putting her presents under the tree.
First was a package for Ben, the wrapping crinkling when the soft object it contained shifted and hit the ground. She didn’t honestly know what to get him, so she’d taken her best shot. It was a pillow, actually, something she figured he’d get a lot of use out of, and she’d stitched cloth cutouts of each of their emblems onto it, along with their names. She’d also embroidered “Cap’s” on the tag rather messily, but… So she wasn’t the best seamstress in the word. Sue her. She sure as hell wasn’t going to ask anyone to help, not when she could at least do part of it on her own.
On the other hand, she had to get assistance with Sangue’s present, because she had no clue how to do what needed to be done. To his credit, Ni hadn’t been particularly obstinate when she asked him to do the modifications she needed, despite his reputation for being one of the most stubborn teachers at Beacon. Sangue’s gift was all 5 main series Metal Gear Solid games, with Snake replaced with Sangue. Ni pulled it off fairly well… And way too quickly, she thought, frowning. Almost like he spent a lot of his free time doing that exact thing with characters. She shrugged and sighed, putting the set of five wrapped packages for Sangue under the tree.
She had gifts for Luke, Napoli, Gratia, and Emerald as well, but… They weren’t part of Bastille, and somehow it didn’t feel quite right putting them with the others. Besides, this way she got to have two Christmases and not just one. Gratia was simple, Amy’d seen her staring at Luke’s hair enough to bribe Ni into making a program for her, and the flash drive for Ahoge Simulator V1.0 was wrapped up in her closet, along with the LifeAlert button she’d bought, scraped off “Life”, and inscribed “Gratia” on for Napoli. Emerald’s present was a set of dual ear muffs, one set for her cat ears and the other for her human set. Luke was quite a bit harder to come up with, especially since most of her gift ideas for him crossed some boundaries, but she’d eventually settled on two gift cards, one for the movies and one for the best restaurant she could think of, with a card that said “For you and Cian. Get together, dammit.”
Amy stood straight, looking at the tree with her arms crossed under her chest, wearing one sleeve of the Fury, sighing. It still looked fairly empty under there, but she supposed with only the four of them there weren’t likely to be many presents. Especially given her gift for Lauren. She didn’t know exactly how she could possibly put a—
“You’re missing a present there, Desire,” she heard a familiar voice say from behind her. Amy smirked, then put on a shocked expression to feign that she hadn’t heard Lauren stir and walk into their main living area. She turned, bathed in the flickering light of the tree, and smiled.
“Nah, I see presents for all three of you,” she said, then held one gauntleted finger to Lauren’s lips, hushing her before she could respond and smirking.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

So uh

What's up guys

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

She'd been told to take Moss to Lauren and obey her orders from there, true enough, but... Didn't seem quite right, leaving Ben to go to the roof alone. Oh well, at least his virgin level would protect him. Amy helped the other woman down the stairs and to the cafeteria, making sure to keep her eyes and ears open. Nothing on the way down, which was odd and didn't sit well. Moss got there safe, but before she reported to Lauren... She dialed her semblance up, listening upward.

THUMP!

With an audible sound and a roar, something hit the roof. Something big.

"Sangue!" She shouted, her shield rattling out of her sleeve. "If you hear me call, come running."

Sorry for the insubordination, Cap. Never did like being the submissive one.

From beside Ben, a long chain lanced out, toward the Manticore, then immediately retracted into a spear, smacking into her hand with practiced ease. Her eyes didn't seem soft blue anymore-they had a predatory gleam, her feathers bristling at the Manticore's presence. As far as the animal side of her was concerned, the beast had just stepped into her territory and was trying to make a meal of her and everyone else nearby. She stepped up to be at the right of her captain, shield covering their left flank, for all the good it would do. She aimed the spear's point at the creature-

This was it, this was right-

And suddenly, all her feathers slicked back as she released a shrill scream, the sound of a hawk sighting its prey.

Hey, I might be interested in doing this, if you still have a slot open. Have some obligations first though.

I don't think the contests are why mission progress is slow, even for those who participated.

I'm fine for whoever doing the next contest. However, I would advise against more character matchmaking, as we've had more than a couple contests with a theme that includes that so far. Though it's far less likely that anyone might want to, I don't think we ought to do anymore fighting game contests either; I've done enough of those. We've done two anime crossover contests as well.

@Lugubrious

Yeah, I'll likely do some kind of combo contest like I did last time, but I'm dumping the matchmaking thing for something else.

Didn't get my entry done due to narcolepsy but oh well.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Oh, also, can I snag the next contest? Have some ideas.
