However, before the blow could land something happened to it that cause the angle to shift. Chase did not know what, the sounds of battle elsewhere was more background noise to him than anything. Whatever caused it to miss though he was grateful. That thought didn’t last long though. While the swipe narrowly missed, the force of the swipe generated enough wind to kick up a cloud of dust towards him. He had to shut his eyes and try to look away to not be blinded by it, his face mask at least helping him not worry about going into his lungs. That one lapse was all it took. He would hear a screech from it, that resounded power and eeriness. He tried waving the dust away and opening his eyes a squint. He saw a flash of movement, it’s stinger maybe though he couldn’t be sure. He also heard something very loud impact the ground not too far away, making him instinctively take a step back as he has his scythe partially raised in front of him. He didn’t recover in time.
He saw a blue and then felt a strong claw uppercut him. He coughed out from the suddenness of it, not expecting the blow or being able to prepare for it. His scythe was knocked from his hands, landing on the floor...but he wasn’t being let off the hook so easily. Amidst the uppercut the grimm decided to charge. And take Chase with it. It was a few seconds of being pinned against its claw from the speed before he felt a heavy blow to his back and head as his eyes widened in shock and he gasped. While he had his aura up, probably what kept him alive, the blow was not entirely absorbed by it. The wall was not exactly smooth or even in this section. His back was spared a little by his soft mantle, though it hurt like hell from being compressed. His head though...a small trickle of blood rolled down the back of it. It was nothing major at all, at least he thought, but the creature had done enough to damage him despite his aura. He gritted his teeth as he felt his hatred and panic. He despised grimm, from his father’s training. But as it screeched right in his face, he knew he could do little to it now. It had him right where it wanted him. A claw crush, stinger, any number of ways to kill him. He tried pushing against the claw and kicking but to no avail. He saw its jaw open wide as it seemed intent to eat him.
Looking around in panic, he tried to find anything that could help. Until a familiar scent and color reached his nose then eyes. Scarlet sanguine. ‘If I could buy time...’ he thought before noticing a strange light to it building and beneath him. He couldn’t quite see due to the claw pinning him of what was creating it. His mind wasn’t even questioning whose blood it was at the moment. As the death stalker got closer with its maw, he hugged the wall as much as he could and turned his head to the side...just enough to lick a bit of the blood. While he did not know whose it was, he knew it was not his. Suddenly a blinding blue light would burst beneath him against the wall, with chase clueless as to what was going on. He didn’t know if it would be good for him, but as long as the death stalker died too, he could settle for it. Whatever it was, he knew he had to do something. And since he couldn’t break free from its grip... “If I survive...you will be crushed like the insect you are.” He would whisper darkly to the death stalker before him, fear gone. He had accepted his fate. His life was not worth anything. If he must die, then so be it. But he was making sure this death stalker would die with him, even if it took his final breath. Sanguine creation would begin. Having two sources of blood, Yui’s and his own, it would begin to pool on the wall until it was eventually about the size of a person from each source (start of next post). Chase had no clue what was going on beneath the death stalker as something seemed to be happening, but he suddenly heard a voice telling him to cover himself. ‘Lioncourt?’ He thought surprised but had no time to think about it as he did his best to shield himself with his arms.

☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁ Skylar was moving and took a running shot at the older Death Stalker blocking the exit before turning to see what the one in the center was doing. She just barely had enough time to react to the stinger launching at her and hit the ground, the stinger missing her by mere inches. But, she'd also noticed Chase was in danger. She hadn't reloaded yet and, as things unfolded, she knew she had to not hold back. She reached for a bullet pouch separate from her magazine and pulled out a red and a blue bullet. She replaced the red and loaded the ice dust round, slamming the bolt home. With her good wing, she leapt to the side and flapped once to propel her further and landed painfully on one knee, but lined up her shot for the base of the claw pinning Chase from an angle where he was not in the line of fire. She took a breath to steady herself and pulled the trigger, hoping against hope that it would ease the pressure on him enough to break free. Just after, she heard Yui call out to him and a massive flame appeared under the Death Stalker, lancing up to meet with it's underside. ☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█Team:SLAR█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁

Widget cursed silently to herself. They were fighting two battles at once and her Team was divided between the battles. Chase was in incredible Danger right now and two others had been dispatched by his opponent already, with him looking to be on the menu. But, two were fighting that one as opposed to Tabby on her own facing the older one. She had to make a choice and now. And the likelihood that whoever she left without her aid could very likely die as a result was not lost on her. And while so many others seemed to be just standing around, totally lost on what to do no less! If not for the sudden appearance of flames under Chase's opponent and the frost round fired by Skylar, she'd have fired on that Death Stalker. Instead, she turned her attention to the one Tabby was in immediate danger of and started spooling her cannon up. The whirring echoed throughout the cave, and normally would have been followed by three hollow whumps as the cannon fired three rounds at the beast. They needed an exit ten minutes ago and the only way out was through this monstrosity.
However, there was instead the sound of gears misaligning and the cannon jammed. If she could have found a quiet moment, she could have probably fixed it. But that was not an option now and she made her way over. This was stupid. No, beyond stupid. Even with the excuse that her cannon jammed, this was mental degradation levels of stupid. Her suit was too bulky and slow to match the agility of...anything really. It was cobbled together on the budget of an orphan who had received no inheritance, and, while having saved for years on odd tech jobs here and there, had no stable occupation. To say this thing was rough was an understatement.

TEAM: NTSS WEAPON/PROFILE: Stabby, Jabby, and Tabby~! AMMO: x2 lightning dust loaded in both harpoons Tabby is at this place!!!!: Cavern Tabby is with this person!!!!: team friends and another team of possible new friends! Tabby is doing this!!!!: borrred, HEADACHE BY SCREEHYY LADY, BATS AND SCORPIONS OH MY!!! OOC: ////////////////////////////
Scorpion had quite the spunk!! How Tabitha had managed to unbalance the creature, that had been something beyond her comprehension. The whole ordeal had her thinking it had legs of steel, much like how many used the term "buns of steel." Guess she was wrong!!! This creature, and that hit, were more like carboard standee figures Jabby made its hit a good one. Good harpoon!! Temporarily weaponless for the most part, there was reason to move forward. As if she could forget her other precious weapon, sitting there out of her range, crying out to its momma to pick it up. She could see the lovely weapon begging! Sitting still bad idea as it was while unarmed. Unless using sir bunbun as a weapon counted~! The faunus himself had been out for longer then anticipated, and keeping him safe while fighting was quite the multitasker. "Uppsy daisy bunny bun!!"
Picking Ren up as gentle as possible, she had him with her arm just abobe the waist, to avoid his head drooping too much over her shoulder. The simple tiny stir by him had her distracted once settled. Her easy distractedness had the deathstalker out of sight out of mind.... Until its tail lingured into a strike. "Kyaaaah!!!!! With a quick step, she had managed to get the both of them out of the way, a very ungraceful twirl just saving them from a hit. From her twirl, she lowered into a crouching position, taking note at the luck of the draw. "Stabby!!!" Inadvertently, her dodge from the stinger had brought them within arms reach of the other harpoon, a smile forming on face. Taking no hesitation, she snatched it off the groumd, gripping its center tight. "That was close bunny bun!!!" The faint stirring of her companion made it hard to tell whether they were coming through their comatose of not. Hopefully soon!!! Behind her she could hear the sound of Widget and her suit approaching them to boot. This gave three of them against the creature. The problem was now more towards the stinger of the creature, and keeping its attention focused on one thing. This gave the reckless and fearless woman a very risky idea. "Letsa goooo!!! UP ABOARRRRD!!!" Caterwauling her signature war wailing, Tabitha took chance of it trying to rebalance itself by hopping aboard the grimms thorax. The platform of this creature of course was extremely shaky, and anytime this thing could regain its balance. "SIT STILL YOU GRUBBY GRIMM GRIMM!! Hissing in annoyance, Tabby changed to a distraction route of tactic. Without a second thought, she stabbed the harpoon down into the thorax, aiming to go deep enough in attempts to distract the creature. This would also help to attempt her balance on staying put onto the deathstalker as well, hanging onto Ren a little closer in protection. "HERE HERE!!! Focus here!!!!" This plan was indeed a risky one, but Tabitha was more of a distractor than a confronter. Among the turmpil of trying to keep on, her golden hues landed on Widget, closer to them now than before. "Yay for timing!!! Tabby will try to keep this on her!!! You hear that scorpy poker!?!?!?! Focus here!!!"
The deathstalker's faint shadow loomed over Chase still. Its deadly claws casting a shadow only interrupted by the flickering in the faint light of the fire arrows. The creature was going to eat Chase with ease, but it hesitated, there was some strange movement to the side; Yui. There were also shots being fired at the base of its claw, but the claw was simply too strong to even take a dent. The deathstalker didn't really think Yui nor Skylar had the power to stop it, so it continued. Its mouth agape as it readied to eat Chase, as soon as his legs were inside and it was about to chomp down Yui unleashed her sneak attack from below. A massive sword of blue flame slicing upwards and cracking into the carapace of the creature. At first it merely recoiled, as if taken by shock, but then it grew still as its eyes filled with panic. Hints of blue could be seen glowing within, brighter and brighter as the embers dispersed, and then a crack at the upper shell before a brilliant explosion of blue erupted from within. The creature exploded into a grand cacophony of screams just as the beast shriveled into black dust. Chase would find himself on the ground not too far away from Yui.
[150 reached]
There would be a brief moment of peace, as black dust showered them from above. The wispy wind of the cavern blowing in all directions with the hum drum of ravagers above scattered, if just for a moment. The chaos was beautiful, but the sound would come clashing back in slowly as the ravagers saw that they didn't have a reason to hold back now that their larger counterpart was gone. A hole in the upper part of the cave exploded with the smell of gunpoweder and from it poured hundreds of new Ravagers. The upper part of the cave filling with them to the point that they were hitting eachother and falling down to the ground. They would soon begin to rush towards Chase and Yui with ferocity unlike the first time. There were simply too many to handle.

『Inƚo ƚhҽ Đαɾƙnҽss – Ȼoɭɭαρsҽ Sƚαɠҽ Onҽ』
◈▣◈▣◈
[Setting: One deathstalker blocking the small entrance out, another near the area where the original collapse happened just got killed. Ravagers swarming the entire area swooping down to slash at people randomly, a new hole has appeared. Exploding with the smell of gunpowder, unleashing another massive wave of Ravagers.]
The deathstalker by the entrance wasn't very fast compared to the other one. Tabby's mounting was done easily as was her stabbing it with her harpoon. The creature shrieked and swiped at her with its claws. If she did not evade she would be smacked off with great force and likely be severely injured. Sky's aim was true, the Deathstalker [LV 1.0//100 PC // (91/100) Applied: Sky, Tabby, and Widget]. The beast shrieked again with pain, and started to randomly swipe its massive claws around. Hitting parts of the cavern wall. Dust started to fall from the ceiling with tiny rocks with each hit. It felt like an earthquake. The small opening behind it was in jeopardy of collapsing and sealing off their exit if they didn't get through soon.
Ravagers started to swarm downwards. Some getting smacked by the tiny rocks, others getting hit by the deathstalker's haphazard swipes. Five ravagers attached themselves to Widget's suit. Clawing, biting, scratching at it voraciously. Fortunately she was by and large protected, but it did impede her movement to a great degree. Others started to swarm around Ren's body. nipping at his limbs and causing him to bleed from various points.
[roll a d10 (10 sided die) if you try and escape through the exit cave door, but this cannot be done until the deathstalker is finished]
Ren had been pulled along for the ride for far too long, his body slowly getting angry at his weakness before a wave of aura covered his body. It was more of a wave of shock, hitting his ears and finally popping them while his limp body became more light for the Tabby holding onto him. He was glad none of his bottles were jeopardized in his canvas and well-guarded back-pack. But his body's nerves began to react once more as he blinked and soon enough, he bit his bottom lip to hold back yelps of pain and began to flail his limbs around to try and get the ravagers to give him space. "Thank you Tabby! Let's get the hell out of here!" He shouted before raising a leg up, and he looked to check which heel had the clasp he needed. His right leg was up and with that he soon shouted to Tabby. "Get to the hole! This kick has alot of oomph to it with lightning!" He warned her before bringing it down towards the scorpion, his positioning, Tabby moving him around like nothing now, it was all factored into the recovering Rabbit's buzzed mind as it sounded like it was a good idea right now. Still, he was going for it as they were right next to the entrance, and with the dust he had, it won't effect the rocks all that much, but considering where they were, he could inadvertently complete a circuit of ground and hit himself, Tabby, and the Deathstalker.

Widget watched as Tabby climbed the Death Stalker with that rabbit boy in her grip. Anyone else doing that would have confused Widget, make her wonder at their mental stability. But Tabby? Honestly, Widget wouldn't have been surprised if Tabby tried to play horsey with the thing and ride it through town. Tabby had looked up at her, while trying to draw the creature's attention Her own tail retreated back up her shirt when Tabby started calling out to the Grimm's tail. Just as she got near, she heard a few grimm tatch onto her suit. Okay, these things were getting annoying...she was definitely going to add an electric repulsion system and flame thrower into the next upgrade. She could heard Ren and wanted to tell him not to kick the Grimm. Tabby's weapon was still lodged into the thing's back and her holding it and Widget was the only one in a position right now to do some actual damage because of the carapace. But, she picked her moment and, having circled to the side to avoid the flailing and make a tail strike arder, she plunged the bladearm into the Grimm. She quickly unsecured herself and scrambled out onto the chassis of her suit, her tail coming back out to quickly jab at the ravagers in her path as she grabbed ehr supply kit and dropped off. She pulled her stun baton from her left thigh and her handgun from her right as she made for the gap. She hated to leave her baby like this...it was all she had and cost her every last cent she'd built up, but, there was no realistic way for them to work the gap bigger. She swore, it was as if the powers that be customized this whole situation specifically to cripple her ability to fight.

Yeah, there was no way they were going to survive if they stayed in here. Her head was throbbing and she was starting to feel light-headed again, but, she dig through her pouch and found the two remaining dust rounds. No fire, they didn't need more explosions. As if willing it made it happen and she extracted the gravity dust round instead, manually loading it and took aim for the thickest mass of the ravagers she could see and fired. She turned it back into it's melee form and started back towards the exit. She wasn't sure how long she could stay in fighting shape. She needed a rest, but, hopefully, she could hold out long enough to get through their passageway. however, she did feel a lot better when she noticed Ren was moving on his own again. He'd probably be really mad at her...most probably would...but, as long as none got seriously injured because of her, she could endure it. ☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█Team:SLAR█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁

XXXNone would be disappointed by the vibrant display of brilliant blue inferno that would erupt from the carapace of the now charred deathstalker. The initial strikes had done nothing to hinder the beast, but the smiting blow that pierced it had caused a cataclysmic explosion to erupt from within. It would fill the cavern with a brilliant light for a brief moment, giving even the few humans among them a way to see how everything fell. Even as that light began to fade, Yui herself had become a beam of hope with the azure flames that danced along her wings. Yui would begin to grit her teeth tightly, biting her tongue at the intensity of the burn she felt embedded in the back of her abdomen. The wound was no longer bleeding, but instead scorched with azure blue cracks littering the skin around the now vivid blue crystal that was embedded in her side. What was once a piece of red fire dust, now being fully harnessed to fuel her semblance. 'I suppose I should be thankful for the poor placement... I wouldn't think getting stabbed by my own dust would save the day.' Using one of the many ember weapons she created, she'd embed the blade into the earth at her feet for leverage as she pulled herself up. The world had yet to cease spinning, but she couldn't stand by idly. Not while her aura was acting as an inferno, not while others still needed her help. Now with the aid of her own light, her pale blue hues would scan the stone wall until she saw Sakura, lying unconscious close by. "Sakura!" She shouted, the ember blades by her side dissolving and dancing around her [the largest of which had dissolved and instead stored itself into the ring of her thumb], as she rushed over to her fallen leader. Quick, but carefully, she would pull the woman into her arms, placing her ear to her chest to listen for something, anything. ... And she could hear it. Soft breathing, a continuous rhythm. She was alive, she was breathing, but out for the count. All the while she could hear another explosion clamor through the cave, then the infernal screech of what seemed to be hundreds of ravagers pouring from the ceiling above. 'This is bad... We need to get her medical attention. I wonder if Chase.. Chase!' Once again her pale hues would scan the area. Already the creatures had been raining down upon them in a swarm, but Chase was the first on their list close by. The man that came to their aid, but was now left to fend for himself after being tossed aside by the fallen Deathstalker. He may have been able to fend for himself, being so far the most reliable of the lot in this travesty of a mission, but she wouldn't let him. With Sakura tucked tightly in her arms, cradled carefully, Yui would jump up then kick off the wall, flapping her burning wings in order to get some air before dropping over where Chase had landed. "I've got you, Sensui! Ducking over him in order to arch her back, she'd channel her aura to draw out more strength of the embedded dust, causing her wings to flare up in a brilliant display of lights. This caused a series of flame bursts to erupt from her wings, while also expanding her overall reach for just a moment to act as a blazing shield over the three of them. This too would act as an inferno to burn several ravagers alive before they could even get close to the pair. It was only then that warmth would rush to her cheeks, almost uncharacteristically, realizing what she had called Chase. .. But, they had no time to discuss or put to reason. Instead, she'd cradle Sakura into one arm, being careful as to not toss her over her shoulder to her blazing wings. Offering her gloved fingers out to Chase. "I can't express my appreciation enough, but, we need to go... There's too many, and they need us." Yui being more logical knew when it was time to fight or fly, or some mixture of the two. They couldn't dream of taking on this endless number of ravagers, but the others were still held up just enough to keep them from escaping. "If we're going to make it, we need to rely on one another. I'll carry us if you can help clear the path." If they had any hope of getting out themselves, they'd need to make use of their best skills. Yui, though strained, could fly the two of them over, only able to take the extra load due to the power generated from her blazing wings. A blaze that would give them extra protection from the ravagers while Chase could use the same skillset that let him fight against the Deathstalker to help them clear the rest of the way. With her hand still extended, embers light snagged around them, giving Chase the light he needed to see Yui's own determined expression with a hue of blue. "Will you trust me?" If the man was willing to take her hand, the embers would shimmer brightly before collecting at her wings. If they were going to make it, she'd need to put her extra firepower into making enough of ablaze to propel them forward, knowing well enough that her own natural wing strength couldn't keep them airborne with so much weight. She'd have to utilize her aura and semblance to make it through, but she'd carry the two, one hand in hand, the other cradled in her arm, to the other deathstalker so that they could leave with their team. That's what they needed to do, that's what they needed her for. To make it out alive, even if not fully intact.

The creature was barely distracted by the others and slowly lowering his legs into its maw, even as Chase would try to struggle to break free of its grip and move his legs. But he wasn't in a position to do so, not now at least. As his legs descended further in he cursed in his mind. 'Damn it!' And other such words going through his mind. His blood wouldn't be ready in time to use, despite its significant increase in size. It was one of the costs of his ability, it took time to make enough to do anything really significant. Even if he lost his legs though, it would just mean more blood to ensure this grimm died too. Chases life mattered little if it meant he could kill this grimm and save the others. Or, really, just kill the grimm. Ever since his childhood, he despised them. He couldn't stand letting even one live. So rather than feel fear, Chase only felt anger that it may succeed and may have a chance to live. Then something happened. There was the sound of something cracking very close by and the creature recoiling, temporarily stopping in trying to eat him. Confused, Chase would struggle and try to see what happened. Before hints of blue began to appear and grow in strength. Taking his chance, Chase would kick at him enough to free his legs from the maw but was still caught in the claw...Before there was another crack and Chase found himself blinded by blue. He heard a cacophony of screams as he felt the explosive blast of it send him up into the air, his back crashing into the cave wall...before he felt himself begin to slide/ fall back down to the ground. Sharp rocks cut at him and his aura, some being strong enough to get through to cause actual cuts after the death stalkers earlier beating. He grit his teeth and tried to protect himself with his hands before he hit the floor with a loud thud. "Ack..." Was all he left out softly, body sore as he tried to force himself to recover. A pale blood red shimmer appearing around him before fading. He slowly moved himself up to roll himself onto his back, letting out a held breath of air. He was going to feel this tomorrow. Looking to his side he saw his scythe, having just been out of reach before. He would drag it to him, and collapse it. With one death stalker down, sword form would be more useful.
For a moment, there was peace. Black dust raised from above, the ravagers were mostly scattered and around the others, and only one death stalker remained in the cavern. There was a strange wind blowing through the cavern as well, but Chase was more relived there was nothing immediately by him. He took the chance to reload his pistol, counting each bullet left as he did. 'Twelve rounds left, six shots before I need to reload...' He counted to himself, knowing he had to make what was left count. While eager and willing to kill grimm, he also knew he needed a moment of respite at least. The peace though, as always, was never to last. There was an explosion of some sort as a new passage opened into theirs...one that allowed a fresh stream of Ravagers to enter the cavern. And there were far, far, too many. With the smell of gunpowder in the air, and far too many ravagers to count, Chase knew they had to leave quick. A quick look to the other side revealed that they were still contending with the other death stalker. 'One more to go...then we shall be safe.' He thought to himself, and had a bit higher hopes. There were much more of them there, so perhaps they could get through it without resorting to whatever happened. And thats when he saw the apparent source of the blue light. It was the Lioncourt, and she was flying to him on what almost looked like fiery wings go to him. Before Chase could really react besides moving up to his elbows, she was above him and had the flames seeming to shield them as they somehow grew even bigger and more fiery. 'It seemed saving her was not for naught...but what did she call me by...' Chase thought to himself, as his mind put two and two together. The blue light that saved him must have been from her. Now so close, he could see she had the other unconscious girl in her arms.
She would then...blush? He was unsure in the fiery light around them, or why she even would be, but her gloved hand offered to him made him push it from his mind. Assuming they all survived this, he could maybe get answers to the questions forming. Probably in a letter though so he wouldn't have to speak directly. His crimson eyes would look up to hers as she spoke, expressing appreciation....and then their needed haste. Chase may have felt happy or embarrassed normally, but now was not the time for it. Like she said, they had to move quick. He was going to get prepared to accept her hand and run but...She would continue speaking and mention how they would need to rely on one another to make it and that she would...carry him. Now a blush formed on Chase's face. 'Being...carried by her...as she carried another woman...' Touch was not something he was comfortable with on most instances, and even in this life or death one that embarrassment was unavoidable. Looking back to the others at their only exit though cleared his mind. The death stalker was going wild and threatened to collapse their only exit. They had to move quick. Blood would begin to pool and travel across the ground to chase, slowly coating over him save his face and his right hand. Said hand would reach forward and clasp hers as she asked if he would trust her. "As long as you trust me." He would say resolutely, as he would sheath his burial blade and draw his pistol. He would notice the embers shimmer brightly again, and collect on her wings. It was go time. His blood would travel along his arm grip to hers, dividing itself between the two of them but steering clear of her wings. With it, his and her blood could help to protect them both. He would hold onto her if they began to fly, prepared to shoot errant ravagers that would come to them. His plan was simple on the defense. If he couldn't stop ravagers with bullets, he would create two tendrils of blood (one on him and one on yui) to help bat away any that got to close (maybe even into others). If he could hold them back with his pistol alone though, for the most part, he would focus on just pooling blood to make more.

TEAM: NTSS WEAPON/PROFILE: Stabby, Jabby, and Tabby~! AMMO: x2 lightning dust loaded in both harpoons Tabby is at this place!!!!: Cavern Tabby is with this person!!!!: team friends and another team of possible new friends! Tabby is doing this!!!!: borrred, HEADACHE BY SCREEHYY LADY, BATS AND SCORPIONS OH MY!!! OOC: ////////////////////////////
Upshifting uppercut of the fiercest kicks!!!! Slicey dicey attacking the face!! A triple kill!!!! Tabitha was rather please by the result of them joining into the fray. The moment Ren had began to stir, she could easily loosen her grip to let him sprung into action as she and Widget had done. Wa bam wa bam!!! How making sound effects in her head was the funnest thing ever!! It was more so fun as to how she could manage to be able to hang onto the deathstalker by just a harpoon alone. Good Stabby!! Too bad it wasn't Jabby for the sake of proper humor alone. There wasn't enough stabbiness to commence in the greatest way. The possibilities more endless if not for the fact they were still in the cavern. At least she could rejoice she was thanked by a fellow comrade~! The very thought of thanks made her giggle, forgetting she was atop the creature. Why was her face making that deep red complexion!? Drooling in one corner, her weak point was showing severely. "oohoo~! Bunny bun very welcome~!!! Tabby loves to help the faunus!!! Shall bunnybun be okays!?!?!? No dizzywissness!?"
Since she was distracted, the only thing that had made the woman snap out of her tirade of bliss, was the arriving signal of more ravagers entering into the area, at a much more reckless rate then the previous wave. By that time, she had barely caught what Ren had warned, barrel rolling off the deathstalker, harpoon yanked down with her and all. "Owie!!!!!!" With clumsy landing this time around, Tabitha had rolled hard onto a rock, catching herself in the side. With a cursing sound under her breath, she slowly sat up to a sitting position, wincing at the pain in her gut. That was going to leave a giant bruise!! Maybe the electrical shock from Ren would have hurt a lot less!! Was that contact to her ribcage?? Sure felt like it. She could not worry about herself though at that point. While she succeed on rolling towards the direction of the exit hole, a much larger problem occured ahead of them. Seeing Yui and Chase under relentless fire of the ravagers, she wanted to go help them! Being stuck behind the deathstalker, cornered between the safety of the exit, and the returning depth to fight, everyone had to make it out... Even the other human people. Dealing with the current enemy was important, and from witnessing Yui and Chase, it appeared they had a plan, judging by their reign of action. Skylar looked to be at her limit, but there was no reaching her from her position. Tabitha could only hope the other girl could hold off just a little longer. She certainly couldn't just sit there herself whole others were risking their life. That was a no-no!! Just what could she do though, while Ren was kicking it with a lightning kick!? An idea had occurred, which she complied wo proceed. It required a certain item... Where was it.... Aha!!! "Jabby~...." There it was, her second harpoon. Having been hidden from.sight due to the deathstalker, she could finally retrieve it. Yanking it from the wall had been easy, since it was rather low to the ground. With both set in hand, the woman readied herself, preparing to tome for a back attack. Bringing her feet far from one another, she lowered herself to one knee to the ground, setting herself in a crouching position with her left foot being the dominant. Lowering both arms to foot level, she gripped both harpoons tight, readying herself to pounce.
[Setting: Both deathstalkers killed! The entrance is now open! Ravagers swarming the entire area swooping down to slash at people for every post you make.]
The deathstalker by the entrance was in a rage. Swiping furiously as the cavern continued to shake violently in its wake. the small pebbles and rocks began to grow in size as the cavern was seemingly starting to collapse. Large tears in the ceiling would erupt and clouds of dust would smack into the ground making the air thick with dust and dirt. The Ravagers would start to shriek even louder than before as they started to descend in larger and larger numbers.
Ren's kick, charged with electric dust slammed into the last remaining deathstalker [LV 1.0//100 PC // (136/100) Applied: Sky, Tabby, Widget, and Ren]. The beast roared as it was struck. Its organs and inner-workings shinning through with each pulse of electricity, and with perfect timing a massive boulder fell from a large tear in the cavern ceiling smashing it simultaneously and sending it into an explosive release of dust. The exit was now able to be used, but every moment one waited small pebbles started build up near the base shrinking it further.
The other side of the cavern door was a small hallway. That is all that could be seen as of yet. A dark fog seemed to shroud any further view. It was large enough for everyone to be inside at once which was what mattered most. The ravagers started to swarm to an insane size after the death of the second deathstalker. Snipping and clawing at every single person in the cave with every movement.
[roll a d10 (10 sided die) as you escape through the exit cave door. Assume you make it regardless of roll.]
Widget was the first to the escape tunnel and dove in, pulling her goggles off and reholstering her baton. Her size made it pretty easy to scramble through the tunnel. In the background, she could hear the rising clamor of the ravagers as they swelled in number, but, ahead of her was dark and foggy. Deciding it was worth the discomfort the ravagers would cause, she activated her semblance, the quickly darkening passage turning greyish and brighter and the sounds of pebbles clattering growing in volume. She could now smell the coppery tint of blood from the area behind her mixed with the dusty air as she crawled through to the other side, pistol out. As she scrambled free, she kept low, her tail at the ready with her pistol leveled as she drew her baton out, ready to fire at anything that might pop out of the fog. She really hoped anyone more capable in melee would be there shortly. She'd never fought before the mission and she doubted she would be able to really fight by herself.

Unlike the little girl who made it first, she had her wings to worry about and her weapon was useless inside the narrow passage. She holstered it after batting a couple of ravagers off of her. She crawled in, adjusting her wings to be pressed as closely to her body as she could and crawled through. Her wings scraped the sides a couple of times, but, she managed to come out the other side. She could barely see and would have considered lighting the area if not for three things. She wasn't sure she had something to do so with, she was injured and the other girl was likely not very capable at fighting seeing as she had that mech suit and doing so would give them away, and she remembered the girl ahead of her had light sensitivity and had seen her remove her goggles before going in. Lighting the place without warning might blind her and Sky had already caused issues, she didn't need to cause any more. She leaned against the stone further from the entrance where it felt solid and intact and pulled her rifle out, using the night scope on it to watch the area they were in. ☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█Team:SLAR█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁█☀█☁
