Qing's face slid across the floor as Scarlet had dragged him up to the meeting point, halfway through the trip, he gave up running and just laid on the floor, occasionally being hit by a stray rock. His body was released as it seemed they had arrived and the boy let his body slowly rise from the floor as his forehead was comically red. His legs cross as his mouth furrowed into a frown. "Owie." He'd mutter before rubbing the mark and looking at the group standing up. His hand dusted his clothing off while looking to Scarlet with a hand on his chest. He was not scarred from it but the pain was gonna take a few minutes to subside. Though as he looked at the two already there he'd hold the mark with his now free hand before bowing his head. "Miss Stallius. . .Mister. . ." He'd stop. What was the boy's name. It didn't come to Qing immediately. Through his vast knowledge of information, he couldn't remember a simple name. His mouth would nervously smile as he looked up and closed his eyes. "Siiiiiiir . . ." He'd let out before stretching a bit hearing Scarlet speak about the kidnappings. "Yes, while those are rather tragic, they are common in this era." He'd state before removing his hand and walking to Scarlet's side and holding his hands behind his back. "Let's make haste and pray for their safety." He'd call out looking to the students with him as he examined the tower and looked to both sides before kneeling and moving his finger on the ground, as his mouth muttered to himself.

It had been a week since she had arrived at Beacon, and so far it had been everything she had been hoping for and more. Classes had gone well so far. She enjoyed the subjects as well as the teachers. She had been assigned to a team and she liked them all so far. Everything seemed to be going quite splendidly as they prepared for their first missions. Ridley had actually been rather excited to put some of her knowledge and skills to use. However, it had then been announced that three of their students had gone missing and were suspected of being kidnapped. Their mission now was to search for clues and find them, as well as the people who took them. Ridley was just as determined as before, if not more, however, it felt wrong to be excited about such a thing. It felt much too real. Much too serious. One of the students Ridley had never met or heard of before. Ridley had never met Lavender before, but she had heard of her from her twin brother, Donnelly, whom she had met when she'd first arrived at Beacon. She couldn't say they were close friends, but he was the first person she had become acquainted with at this school. That counted for something. It did nothing but spike the fire that was already lit inside her.
As she approached the tower, she noticed there were already a few students collected. They were to work together with two teams for this mission, likely because it was so vitally important. If they failed, it could possibly result in the death of their peers. As she got nearer, she only recognized one other member from her team, Cecil. The other three she had yet to meet. They were still a few students short, but she supposed it was still a bit early. Ridley just hoped they got here soon,, she couldn't help but feel that they really should be hopping on this quick, before something else could go wrong. It seemed she wasn't alone in that thought process. One of the males from the other team had dropped to his knees, examining the ground while muttering softly to himself. Se couldn't make out what he was saying, but she assumed he was trying to search for some sort of clue that would lead them to their missing peers. "Hey look, this guy has the right idea." She said as she approached the students, not quite able to keep the smirk off her face, even in the seriousness of the situation.

✧After class was over, Monte had gone over several notes he mentally took during it, ensuring to grind every word the headmaster spoke into his memory, including the hands on lesson with the grimm he brought into class. Monte wanted to fight it for himself, but was worried he may get in the way of the student who stepped up to fight it. The young man was indeed inspired by the work of the students who fought that Grimm in class today, he would definitely stand up to fight the next Grimm he encountered. He was certain that his beloved chain tonfas will be able to saw through many a Grimm, though of course he knew there would be Grimm out there that would definitely break up the teeth on the saws.
The young man had followed his friend Qing to the gym, albeit in a state where he could not be perceived. The hat wearing teen was indeed a shy one, barely even able to look those he holds dear in the eye because not only were they too bright but also he didn’t believe himself worthy of looking at such kind faces. Was it depressing? Endearing? Silly? Sure, but in all his life he could only name a few people he greatly loved and cherished. He hoped his team could fall under that very same umbrella of love. As he arrived at the gym with Qing, Monte had simply sat, not wanting to do anything to do anything to startle Qing like he did this morning. The young man was certainly happy and felt flustered as Qing spoke about him and their other two teammates, Scarlet appearing shortly after. Indeed it appeared that Qing might be able consider them to treasured people, but he still wasn’t entirely sure, only time would tell.
Monte, despite not exactly interacting with his teammates felt rather sad that their brief moment of peace quickly came to an end as it appeared that a few students had supposedly been kidnapped. It was terrible that something happened right under Beacon’s nose, where so many Hunters-to-be and actual Hunters were. How were they even kidnapped? The enemy must have been truly dangerous and tricky if they were able to pull off such a thing here. Immediately Monte dashed for the spot his team was to meet, hoping that his fellow students were safe. As he reached the rooftop, Monte would suddenly appear right behind Scarlet, suddenly blipping in as though he were either a ghost or started existing all the sudden. "T-Thank you for your kind words Qing..." Monte had said to Qing quietly while readying himself for the search.
The Tower is not just a single large structure, but rather a large castle-like complex. Your group has been assigned to inspect the exteriors of the tower as thoroughly as possible for the missing persons or the perpetrators. To the south there is the main tower. To the north there are 2 large buildings that house faculty and other staff. And to the east there is a training field that is exclusively for faculty and staff, and personal coaching sessions. All three areas must be inspected.
The sun was just beyond the horizon, only the faint glint of dawn's light could be seen. The grounds around the tower were peaceful. No footprints. No markings of struggle. Nothing. That is when the sudden crash of a trashcan toppling over could be heard in an alley way between two large buildings could be heard. The hollow rolling sound of the lid could be heard before it finally popped into view. It was just beyond where Cecil Roydon and Maron Stallius was standing, but loud enough for all to hear. Something was lurking just beyond their view. Just a few moments after the screeching of a cat broke the awkward silence left by the tin lid.
The temperature around everyone could be felt slowly declining as Cecil looking to his left hand, the cold giving him strength. He could hear others arriving at the tower so they could do the mission before he could hear some stomping, immediately turning around to see the Horse Faunus named Maron Stallus. She was saluting him, causing him to return the favor and salute her back. "Long time no see, how are you holding up Maron?" He asked in his deadpan tone of voice before others began to arrive. "I am surprised none of you brought jackets, my Semblance may hinder you all." He told them calmly as she was followed by what would appear to be her teammates.
"People getting kidnapped is usually a normal occurrence from the reports I've been reading, the number is steadily going down which can be a good sign." He responded to Scarlet before he looked to Qing and could see him being nervous on trying to remember what his name was, it was adorable to say the least.... until Cecil said, "For a smart man, you are terrible with names Qing Long. I am Cecil Roydon, please take the time to remember a simple name like that, it's two syllables each." He told Qing before he could see more people arriving, which was a bit comforting as he recognized an official team member, causing him to nod his head. "The right idea of kneeling when we should be preparing for a fight?" Cecil asked of Ridley while tilting his head before he could see another familiar person with their hat so shy.
"Monte?" He asked, he had taken the time to archive the people he met into memories so he wouldn't forget them before he unsheathed his Reiterpallasch, hearing something crash, only to end up seeing a tin lid and hearing a cat's meow. "Hm.... just a simple cat... need to make note of that before we head in." He stated before he relaxed his pose, letting the temperature drop further as light was barely hitting them.

xxxMaron placed her hands on her hips and leaned against the heels of her curb stompers, using the elevated heel to sway her body back and forth while she waited for the others; at least her short conversation was giving her something to do for now. Maron had assumed that it was in Cecil's nature to be stoic and literal, there was no way she could forget Cecil's initial introduction, 'faunus.' A more serious individual would have taken offense to that, but Maron too it in stride (pun intended), and joked back at the human male, inevitably lightening the mood.
That was why when Maron was greeted with Cecil's deadpan face, the young woman took it as an eternal smile, and exchanged an equally happy grin. "I'm aye-okay, thanks for asking!" She replied, looking back to hear the familiar sound of shoe hitting against concrete and brick. Maron caught glimpse of Scarlet and Qing making their entrance. The young woman raised a welcoming hand to the duo, gesturing them to come over quickly. Unfortunately, Maron's grin quivered at Scarlet's name for her, so that's her name now? Fair enough. "Nice to see you too, Scar, is Scar an okay nickname for a teammate?" Maron asked, gently punching the other girl's arm. "And I agree, it's so odd how the academy already has enemies, what a drag..." She mumbled, stretching her arms over her head.
'King' soon followed, ready to get to work on setting up a strategy for success, what a smart dude. Maron waved at her team captain, trotting over to him. with both hands on her hips, one fumbling with the lower pocket of her varsity jacket. Qing's attempt to remember Cecil's name was adorable, adorable enough to invoke a chuckle from the horse faunus, "I'm so glad we have such a cutie as our team captain!" The young woman whispered, admiring Qing's more endearing traits. Maron has unintentionally come off as flirtatious, when is fact she was just being her compassionate and affectionate self; it's a shame she didn't realize the magnitude of her word choices...
The woman's eyebrows lifted in surprise of Qing's tid-bit of information about the kidnappings, she had no idea they were frequent occurrences. A little after, another member, presumably from the other team, entered. She seemed like a very amicable character, going as far as to compliment Qing on his initiative. "Heyo," Maron said with a two-finger salute, "I wish we were working with you guys in less-severe circumstances," Maron stated, giving a nervous grin. "Regardless, nice to meet yah: I'm Maron, she's Scarlet, and the one analyzing the battlefield is our team captain, Qing. I'm not too sure where Monte is though..." Maron trailed off for a bit before Cecil spoke up about the discomfort the team may feel from his cold.
Maron chuckled in response, and flicked her wrist. "I'm hot most of the time from all the running; besides, we have a hottie over here!" The woman whispered, gesturing to Scarlet. "Oh, hey Monte!" Maron said, almost surprised enough to neigh in fright; that guy sure was good at making an entrance. "Man, you're like the perfect ninja with that whole invisibility thing you got going on there, you go dude!" Maron complimented, winking at her teammate. Time had passed, and Maron had grown distracted by Qing's ground writing, it was pretty cool someone could just come up with an idea on the spot like that. Smart guy...
"We need a strategy before going in there, or else we'll be all over the place... Like Kim Katdashin's love life," Maron said half-jokingly to Cecil's question about Qing's sitting and strategizing. The small moment of peace had quickly turned into chaos when the team caught sound of something toppling over, like a trashcan. A cat could be heard from the trashcan, screeching possibly at the crashing sound it had caused. If Maron wasn't so focused on saving those students, she would have comforted the cat. "I hope the lil' guy's okay... Man, I wish I had a can of tuna for the poor cat..." Maron mumbled, feeling bad that a cat would be living in a trashcan in the first place.
Reluctantly, Maron took a few steps towards the trashcan, just to make sure whatever animal was left behind in there was okay. At the moment, Qing was strategizing, and the other team was waiting for their teammates, which allowed Maron some time to make sure her furry friend was alright. She didn't stray too far away from the group, she was close enough to run back in case the cat had rabies or something. As far as she was concerned though, Maron already had all her shots. Maron peaked her head over to where the trash can was, wondering if the kitty had ran off. It probably did... "Ahh, we have a mission to do. I would help with strategy and all, but... I'm not too smart in that department..." She though, taking a few steps away from the alleyway, and started walking back to the group, her hands in her pockets.
Suddenly a loud screeching sound could be heard as the attack was clearly attacking something with intensity. The sound went on for a few moments and then the cat's sounds were suddenly and abruptly crushed. The shadow of a man then appeared. "What the hell kind of place allows pests like that to live!"Said a man as he walked around the corner only to stop dead in his tracks."Crap! Where'd all you kids come from?!" He held the feline's now lifeless body in his right hand. He used it to wipe the sweat off his forehead and tossed it aside such that it hit the wall and violently fell to the ground. He cracked his knuckles and his neck."any of you babies know which way the front entrance is to the academy? I kinda got lost in all these buildings. I don't remember this place being so damn huge." Vernoth licked his lips and started to walk through the thickest cluster of students so that he was between them all. He had one of those devilish smirks that said he knew he could tear any one of them apart if he wanted to.

|♢| Beacon Academy |♢| Student |♢| Lv.0//010 |♢| |♢| Standard: The Phoenix |♢| Battle: Fire It Up |♢| ♨"Yeah, yeah. Scar is fine. We're teammates, no need for formalities and stuff" she replied to Maron, playfully shoving her back. Her nickname was used more often than her actual name back home, so it was more than okay now. It made things feel...normal, in a sense. She would have to come up with nicknames for her team too! But back to business, both Qing and Cecil would bring up what they knew about this horrible incident. It was pretty scary. For what reason was kidnapping so common? To what end? She didn't want to think about it, but the reality of the matter was that it was happening here and now. No, she didn't know the students that were kidnapped, but she would only hope that her fellow colleagues would give it their all to save her too! They could be injured and were probably scared out of their minds. "Yeah! Let's get this show on the road!" Scarlet huffed, psyching herself up with a fist pump. Though as Qing had went to searching the scene, she didn't really lend a hand or rather, she didn't want to get in his way. He clearly looked like he knew what he was doing and figured she'd have something to punch soon. "Cute and smart. We got lucky, eh Maron?" Scar snickered, parroting her teammate's admiration. So long as her leader found the bad guys, the redhead would do "her specialty" for her team. Speaking of which, Monte had yet to show up. What was taking that guy?
In fact, the next person to appear was unfamiliar to her, but she was certain she was part of Cecil's team. As Maron introduced everyone, she would raise her hand and smile in response. From initial greetings, the girl seemed pretty cool. And not in the way that that walking cooler was, already using his Semblance. Fortunately, Scarlet could bypass his chill with her own Semblance, as Maron was quick to point out. Still, it was a bit of a waste of Aura this early in the mission. "Meh. This is nothi- GAHH! MONTE!!" The fiery girl would quickly turn around and face her missing partner. This guy always managed to get the drop on her, without fail. "Don't do that! Wait... How long have you been there?!" she huffed, lightly slapping him on the chest. The guy was quiet for so long, there was no telling when he actually showed up. Oh well, it wasn't that serious and she was truthfully glad he made it here alright. They didn't need to go looking for a fourth missing student! Turning to Cecil, the redhead would give him a smirk as she crossed her arms. "You just leave the planning to Qing. And then you can thank him later."
No sooner after her insincere taunt, a sudden clanging noise caught the attention of everyone present. Scarlet quickly put up her guard, her eyes locked on to the general area of the disturbance's source. A trash lid rolled along the ground, stopping in plain view...and then nothing but an eerie silence. And in that quiet, those crimson orbs scanned around, waiting and watching for any movement. Alas, it was just a cat; Scar sighing in relief that it wasn't anything serious. But at least she was thankful for the feline reminding her where she was and the situation. This was no time to be playing arou- "H-Hey! Maron!" the girl called out to her friend as she parted from the group. They needed to stick together just in case the actual enemy did show up. And no sooner after the horse Faunus rejoined them, a chilling voice crept upon them. Out from the shadows, a scruffy looking man appeared...holding the bleeding corpse of the kitten from just moments before. He cast the poor creature against the wall with no regard for the act he just committed. How easily he slipped between them that Scarlet barely had a chance to react aside from taking a step back to gain some distance. This man...everything about him said he was as dangerous as he was sick in the head. Yet...her resolve did not waver; now was the time to strike! "Sure thing. Let me show you!" With a fist drawn back, she would go in with a hook jab to the man's ribs.
She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Ridley shook her head, dark locks tumbling about her shoulders, while holding a finger up at Cecil. "No, not quite... looking for clues. We won't find anything just standing around." She said, letting her arm fall back to her side before turning her golden gaze to the house Faunus as she spoke, introducing herself as well as her teammates. "Well, it looks like you already know Cecil. I'm Ridley and... I'm not quite sure where Beryl is..." She stated, peering around like the former pop star might just appear out of no where. It really wasn't that unlikely, considering the first time she had seen the girl had been after a very dramatic and rather late appearance to their first class. It seemed fitting. The girl gave a small shrug before turning her eyes back to the group. "Azure had a bit of a... mishap in combat class, so she won't be joining us for this mission." Ridley explained, trying to be as vague as possible. She wasn't sure if Azura would want everyone knowing about what's happened. Granted, their whole class already knew and people were bound to talk. Still, Ridley didn't want to accidentally embarrass her new teammate.
Maron mentioned that they should start coming up with a plan and Ridley agreed. They were sitting ducks just standing around. Three of their peers had already been kidnapped. It wouldn't do anyone any good if they just lingered around in the unawares. They needed to get a move on and start looking for clues and hooefully find their enemies before they could find them. Ridley opened her mouth to speak on the subject, only to snap it back closed at the clatter coming from the alley way. The clang of the tin teach can was followed by an angry sounding, screech-like meow. Golden eyes narrowed as she snapped around to stare at the entrance of the alleyway. She couldn't see down it from where we was standing and that unnerved her. Almost immediately Maron began heading for the alley, before Ridley could even say anything Scarlett spoke up. It seemed neither of them thought it was a good idea to split up. Under these circumstances it was dangerous enough, but Ridley had a hard time believing it was just a temperamental cat in the alley way. She had a sinking feeling there was something much darker waiting for them.
As if to confirm her suspicions, a few moments later a chorus of screeches and hisses flooded from the alley. Shortly followed by silence. The silence unnerved the girl more than the angry cat sounds did. Her stomach dropped further when she heard the gruff voice that followed. A few moments later and a burly man exited the alley, taking claim to that voice as he addressed them. The entirety of his essence spoke of danger. The twisted smirk that tugged at his lips and pulled at his entire expression made her skin crawl. Her stomach dropped when she noticed the bloodied body of the cat in his hands. Something about seeing him fling the lifeless body uselessly to the side, like it didn't even matter, bothered her deeply. It struck a chord deep with in her. It wasn't so much the gore or the death, she had seen that many times before. It was they fact that he could destroy the innocence, take a life from a defenseless creature and then just smile about it. Brush it aside like it was nothing. The look he was giving them... it was like he knew he could read each of them a part with just as much ease as the cat, with that same smirk on his lips.
Scarlett was the first to respond to him, all spit and fire with a sucker punch to the gut. Ridley cringed slightly. She couldn't help but think that was a bad idea. They couldn't just rush in blindly. They needed to be tactical about this. This guy could overpower any of them, both with his aura or his physical strength by the looks of it. They needed to work together. Rush him at the same time, but him from different angles. They couldn't take this man out singlehanded. There was also her semblance. If they timed it right she could could overwhelm him with pain while the others hit them full blast with everything else. She woukd wait though, she wanted to get a feel for this guy's strengths and tactics first. It would helo her figure out the correct timing and which sort of pain might effect him the most. Without her golden gaze ever leaving the enemy in front of them, her hands slowly moved to her hips. She unsheathed her dual blades, the scrape of metal reverberating through the air. She glanced at Cecil out of the corner of her eyes, giving her head a slight jerk towards the man towering before them. She was trying to send a signal, that they should attack at the same time, from different angles, but she didn't want to speak it allowed. She would wait for Cecil to show some form of understanding before lunging forward. She used Scarlett's punch as a distraction and her smaller size as an advantage, coming at him from the side of the redhead, thrusting her blade towards his side.

Vernoth didn't think the kids had the guts to attack him and so he didn't dodge the punch from the redheaded spitfire. The blow landed with a loud thud to the ribs. The skin ripped slightly and a bit of blood oozed out from it. His bored look turned into one of slight interest. "Well well well...what d-"But he couldn't finish the sentence before the girl dressed in black and yellow dashed at him with a sharp blade. He took his open hand and intercepted the blade. It sliced clean through the middle of his hand. Blood splattering everywhere, yet his face showed no pain. No reaction. His lips curled up in a dangerously wild smile."You kids really know how to play around! You're all lacking something though...oh yeah, talent... Let me show you." His voice was deep and lacked any sort of friendliness to it. His fingers suddenly tightened around the blade. More blood gushed out onto it."Crystalize!" He shouted as his blood started to glow. It hardened onto the blade and took the form of red rubies or some other sort of gem. He smiled devilishly and swung his arm with the blade infused into it straight towards Scarlet with enough force to cleave her in half.

"Careful!" Cecil shouted as the temperature finally became cold enough when this man finally made his appearance. His entire body screamed hostile before someone went to stab at the man, only for him to catch it as Cecil glared at the two who attacked him first right off the bat as he began to swing at Scarlet in a heartbeat. "Dammit you two, who said this was a good idea?!" He shouted as he covered his rapier in the form of an ice sword, dashing in as he struck the bloody crystal covered sword, holding it in a block. "You two really had to attack him didn't you?!" He shouted to both of them, slowly holding the attack back as the cold air helped him to strengthen himself. This man seemed to be a token bad guy, so it was just not helping his case of being an insane man who killed a cat.

xxxEverything went by so fast, dare she say- too fast. The moment was separated between seconds of blackness; but the limp body of the cat that she was concerned for was something that remained etched on her skull. "Oh my God..." This was the first time Maron had ever been exposed to death in her life; as far as she was concerned, it wouldn't happen to her, right? No, she was wrong, she's a hunter in training now; seeing that cat thrown to the wall was an affirmation of that.
In a state of shock, Maron had not notice her eyes watering; it wasn't just because of that poor cat's death, but because it was death, something that so many people in this school have probably witness excepted for her. She thought that if she did ever see it, that she could handle it; but she couldn't, she can't. She had that guy to thank for, so maybe she wasn't as bitter about it as she should have been; but why did it have to be something innocent? What did the cat do to him?!
Maron's feet remained stationed on the ground, and she could have sworn that she felt her heels dig into the concrete, as if she was sinking into some sort of feeling she hadn't felt since her dad lost his job; was this sadness...?
Maron broke out of her trance, which caused two tears to drop from her lower lid, and onto her sports bra. Scarlet was taking the first punch, something that not even Maron was ballsy enough to do. Ridley followed after in an attempt to strike the b*****d, but both hers and Scarlet's attack bore no results. It was as if the monster was a punching bag; no matter how many times they hit him, he remained resilient, unphased by his bleeding gut. What the hell was this guy?
"What the hell is going on with his blood? Is that his..." Before Maron could finish her thought, she knew exactly what the sick ******** had in mind, "Scarlet!!!" Before Maron could move over for Scarlet, Cecil intervened, scowling the two girls for their rash behavior. Maron felt the weight in her chest, thank goodness Scarlet was okay! "Get a hold of yourself Stallius, what's done it done... Get out and do something!" That, she did.
Maron assumed a running start position, slowing charging up the momentum necessary to rush in with a wall-breaking kick; she knew exactly where she wanted to kick too. Maron's Curb Stompers began to slowly vibrate as they started holding in her momentum. "Just a bit longer..." The others in the party may not know of Maron's intentions, but hopefully they'll find out in a little bit: When she's at full charge and ready to rumble!!!
Qing's finger moved as his eyes seemed to calculate, he was planning and putting all of his power into what possibilities were, this was until he heard the cry of another female. His eyes would gleam a bit as he heard her compliment him. His cheeks turned a bit rosey as he heard another voice, it didn't startle him as much. It seemed the young man expected this, his mouth's frown began to lighten, into a smile. Everyone was happy to see each other, it was like a fairy tale of some sort, where the friends have gathered round, and though he focused, his calm look of glee and bliss stayed on his face. Though when he looked up his scarred eye closed and his head bowed a bit. "I apologize for that, Mister Roydon." His mind seemed to blank with thoughts of what todo and how to do it if certain events transpired, though as he was thinking he heard a commotion from the direction his team was facing. His body slowly rose up as he shook his head. His hand went through his hair as he adjusted his crown like accessory. His eyes closed as he heard the man. It seemed that a hostile had joined the fray, and it wasn't going to look good for the group. The first instinct he had was to slowly reach to his side and pull his rifle out. His eyes would open as he heard Scar's voice and his head turned quickly seeing her give a blow to the man, making a pretty heavy impact. His hand would then grasp a clip from within his robe seeing that she wasn't the only one to step forth. He'd see that Ridley wouldn't give much time to react through her motion as she made a synchronizing technique with Scarlet.
Qing's hand would move swiftly as he sheathed his weapons. "It seems that instincts are rare these days, but we are lucky that two such as these ladies have pooled some. Let's just hope it's not too reckless." He'd speak out loud as his hand tossed the bullet into his recessive hand and drew out his Guan. The boy's eyes seemed to glow as he spun off to the side and rushed forward, seeing as Cecil had rushing to the attack to defend it. Qing's eyes scanned the area as he looked to the situation and within a quick moment his body began to strafe from either side to side. "Sir Castelo, 4 or 6 o clock on the crystal." He'd order first as his hand grazed Maron's arm a bit. His eyes gleem was like a flash as he activated his semblance. The look from her stance was a build up of some sort, and if anything was to build up, Momentum would help out alot. The boy's look dimmed as he continued on after passing a bit of power to his partner as he passed another phrase in her direction without looking. "Miss Stallius, aim low." After a few moments he'd inhale deeply before exhaling. His gaze on the opponent and Cecil as he would see the amount of power behind that slash. The cold made his body shake a bit more as his hands pushed through and with a great amount of force he would come from the side and tag the right arm with his free hand. This was a big move as he pushed his aura into the second action while bringing his other arm up with the blade to assist. His semblance attempting to slow/stop the motion of that arm, while his sword helped the block to defend Scarlet for the moment. "Miss Scar, fall back."
She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Ridley was honestly a bit surprised to see that Scarlett's blow actually hit it's mark. Her fist collided with his ribs with a sickening crunch, however, the burly man didn't seem the slightest bit phased by it. Her blow hit true to mark as well, slicing through his palm and splattering blood across the three of them. Somehow that didn't surprise her either, but it also didn't relieve her. He was toying with them. Her golden eyes left her glad for a moment, turning upward to stare at his face. There wasn't even the slightest bit of pain there. He could have been on a casual stroll through the park for all the lack of pain in his expression. He was as casual and twisted as ever. Ridley frowned, her eyebrows burrowing together in thoughtful frustration. That didn't sit well with her. If pain had that little effect on him, her semblance could be rendered utterly useless against him. How could a semblence that relied on making someone feel pain fair against someone who didnt respond to pain. Unless, she could find out a way to get under his skin, something that did effect him, she would be fighting this battle without her semblence.
It was Cecil's scolding voice the pulled her from those thoughts and as she responded, her eyes never left the man before her. "What were we suppose to do? Do what he asked?" She questioned, golden eyes still tryhing to read their enemy. "Lead him to the entrance of the school? Ask him to stay for Maybe? Trust me, I doubt his next victim would be a stray cat." Even in a situation like this the girl couldn't help the sarcasm the slipped into her voice. It was s part of her nature and she didn't exactly have to focus to try and shut it off right now. There were much more important things at hand. For example, the dangerous smile that was pulling on the man's lips. She had never seen a smile look just so threatening and she knew whatever was coming next would not be good. As if to answer that thought she felt the pressure tighten around her blade. Her golden gaze turned downwards as she watched him grabs hold of her weapon, the metal cutting deeper into his flesh and spraying them all with more blood.
Ridley couldn't seem to pull her eyes away as the thick liquid gushed over the silver gleam of her weapon, the crimson a dark constrast to the blade. Then it started to do something strange. It began to glow and then bubbled, hardening over the blade and crystalizing it to his hand. Ridley's stomach dropped as she foresaw his next move. Just as the through crossed her mind she felt the blade being tugged from her with an incredible force, straight towards Scarlett. Almost without thinking, Ridley dropped her other sword, grasping onto the hilt of her stolen weapon with both hands. She planted both of her booted feet firmly on the ground, yanking back on the weapon with every ounce of strength she had. He outpowered her vastly, her feet skidding across the concrete. Her knuckles were white as the desperately clung to the weapon. She held until her muscles gave out on her. Her fingers slipped from the hilt and the sudden loss of pressure caused her to loose her balance. She stumbled backwards, only barely managing not to fall while her eyes frantically snapped back up to the scene before her. Only, other than a skewered Scarlett, Cecil was there, blocking the strike. Ridley let out a huff of air, a small sigh of relief. However, she didn't linger too long. This battle was only beginning. There would be time to be relived later, if they all made it out of this. On one hand, he was greatly outnumbered. On the other, they were all just first year students and this guy was stringer than any foe they had ever faced.
Golden eyes scanned the ground, searching for her second blade that she had dropped earlier. It was a bit closer to the man than she would have liked, considering until she could get her hands on it, she was essentially defenseless. However, he was currently blade-locked with Cecil and it seemed like Maron and Qing were preparing attacks of their own. She would have to use the distraction and take her chances. She moved quickly, sprinting across the ground, dropping to her knees, curling her fingers around the hilt, before continuing to slide right below the conflict, below everyone's feet, before popping up on the other side. As she pushed herself to her feet, she transformed her weapon in her hand, taking it's pistol in her hand. She only had four shots, considering her other four were loaded in the blade he had stolen. She didn't want to waste them. However, his attention wasn't on her at the moment. His back was to her, which gave her a prime oppurtunity. He didn't respond well to the pain of blades, so let's see how he does with fire. She thought to herself before aiming her pistol carefully and taking a shot at him.

|♢| Beacon Academy |♢| Student |♢| Lv.0//010 |♢| |♢| Standard: The Phoenix |♢| Battle: Fire It Up |♢| ♨ A direct hit! Scarlet almost couldn't believe it, expecting the man to dodge or react in some manner. Yet he did nothing and took the hit right on the mark. Perhaps...better than it should have; though the punch landed, it felt off. The way her fist sunk into his skin and broke it, causing some minor bleeding...something was amiss. If that wasn't enough, the following attack would be a real eye opener. Ridley stuck shortly after Scarlet had, swinging her blade at the man. And then the unthinkable: he caught it in his bare hand, letting the sword split it in two. Blood splattered from the cut with some droplets getting on the redhead's clothing and face. But after all that, this...freak flashed such a sickening grin; it made her stomach turn. It disturbed her so much that she immediately pulled away before he even spoke. She needed to pull back and try something more effective! 'If only I had my sword...' At least it would be put some distance between them and allow her to continue attacking. Suddenly, they would all get a glimpse of what one could only assume was a Semblance.
His blood became like gemstones, hardening on Ridley's sword before it was promptly yanked from the girl's hand. The blade had become his now and with it, Scarlet was to be split in two! She stared with wide eyes at weapon coming toward her, her movement being a tad too slow to avoid it in time... Or at least, would have been the case had Cecil, Ridley and Qing not intervened. With their combined efforts, they managed to slow the attack down enough for Scarlet to evade. She would heed her leader's instructions and fall back for now, though the girl scoffed at her own uselessness. The last thing the redhead wanted to hear was Cecil scolding her efforts. She had to agree with Ridley, what were suppose to do, sit there and let him attack first?! Hell no! "Well I'm not done attacking him either, if that's alright with you" Scarlet growled, leering at their opponent. Despite her near death experience just now, the young huntress-in-training was still rarin to go, though it was likely the adrenaline talking. The other part was her refusing to stand on the sidelines while everyone else tackled this dangerous foe. Maron seemed to be preparing some sort of attack and Ridley was going for a move as well. Well...there wasn't much else she could do at the moment except to wait for her moment to strike.
