The hooded figure leaned over the side of the cliff, in disbelief of what they were witnessing.
"Impossible." A deep, masculine voice that sounded both sinister and somehow passive was uttered from beneath the hood.
Rood von Rah
It was working--the ice from the arrow girl had severely damaged the falthon who whined and screeched as it was tied down by Bran. Then, with the song playing that boiled the adrenaline inside him, Yu went on to deliver a horrific blow that pulsed in a shockwave around them, almost forcing Rood onto his knees. He covered his eyes to avoid debris from hitting it, then looked up at the sound of glass shattering.
His eyes widened at first, then he grinned as he realized it wasn't glass that had shattered the beast, but the parts of the falthon that had turned to ice had shattered. Most of the faces had completely been decimated in the blast, at this point the falthon was almost nothing more than a bloody mess. However, the fight wasn't over for the legendary grimm. It twisted, seeing an opportunity, and attempted to gnash its great maw around Yu. He reacted on instinct, flinging himself forward with his semblance in hopes to wrap his arms around her and drop her out of the way clumsily. He stumbled, rolling even in an ungraceful landing that was only saved when he found his footing.
He stayed like that, smoke coming off of his body as he allowed the music that the guitarist played to fill his ears. Then energy poured off his tan skin and he looked up, his hair shifting in the aura pouring off of him. As he did this, the falthon began to break its binds, each coming off with a sickening snap sound with its gaze turned on him, angry that it had lost its prey. His red eyes burned... somehow this music reminded him of...
...home.
With a yell, he lurched his body forward, a wave of energy appearing in front of him as his body cut through the last of the falthon's faces and through a thin part of its neck.
The falthon let out a bloodcurdling scream, its body igniting into flames as it faded like all grimm do, its body instead becoming burning embers against the sky. On the other side of where he'd stood, Rood stood shaking with his body covered in burns. His body smoked still, but with more coming off of him this time, some of the embers of the grimm coming off of him as well. He stood still like that until the falthon had gone... then his eyes rolled back and he passed out, falling first to his knees, and then flat on his face. His body heaved in effort of dealing with the pain of the burns and potential concussion from before. For Rood von Rah, at least for now, it was lights out.
???
"...a von Rah then... and the Taliesen boy..."
The hooded man scratched his cheek. All of them displayed such... interesting abilities...
At that moment, he felt something shock him to an intense degree, causing his body to seize up until--
Glynda Goodwitch
Her green lightning zapped the intruder from the back, her expression twisted in anger. She watched, then, as the cloak suddenly fell as though there was nobody within it. Her pupils shrank in fear, and upon closer inspection noticed nothing peculiar of the cloak. The man had screamed when shocked, but a moment ago had stopped, cut off like a record player stopped mid-play. Whoever it was that had attacked her, he was gone. Looking down the cliff, Glynda's eyes widened. She hurried into the meadow, calling for backup as she went and arriving very quickly, panting. She hurriedly went to Rood's fallen form, kneeling beside him as she looked at the others, her eyes serious.
"Consider yourselves complete upon this task. I do not know what occurred here but it looks as though a serious fight has just transpired. All of you that can, hurry back to the school and wait in Ozpin's office. I must tend to this student at once."
