Xanthe had been somewhat surprised her tactic of jumping in blindly had paid off, but found herself in no better a position after barely managing to deflect the snakes attack. In fact the glancing blow as the beast had cut itself on her weapon had been less than ideal for her and almost caused her to let go of her weapon. Between bad footing and underestimating the strength of the beast, she had been lucky to come away from the initial encounter aw well as she had. Xanthe shifted her stance, and glanced at the civilian now behind her, missing it's body sliding into view, before returning her attention to the snake's head. A small part of her told her to run, a part that was quickly quashed by the stronger majority that pointed out if they did that then the civilian would almost certainly die. Xanthe eyed the snake, it was considerably stronger than her, and as it crept closer with it's eyes fixed on her, she was drawn into it's charm. Xanthe watched it's eyes at first but when they they rose and it's nose was pointed down her attention was drawn to it's fangs, long as her arm, sharp as her spear. She heard the man whimper and found her resolve, whether for better of for worse she dived towards it's maw, fully committed to stabbing it in the face and largely ignorant of the mass of muscle that had been looming behind her. Her plan was hit it in the eye, and hopefully land on her feet. Though truthfully she knew it was a risky move and would cost her a lot if it went wrong.

Finding nothing was stopping her at this time, Tsukiko would continue to make her way towards one of the Grimm enemies. Seeing the young woman that was fighting alone, she made her decision. Unfolding her fans, magnetic bracelets on either wrist. Blades revealed (look to profile) she would throw each as she made her way closer. Catching them upon their return if they didn't get stuck in the huge snake."This is no ordinary day,"The young tigress thought with an amused smile."Mind if I join you,"Miya asked Xanthe playfully, making sure to try and not get hit. Her goal was to distract at least one of the heads...

Ylva continued her patrol around the rear of battle, her aura up since the fight began. Her ears never stopping their twitching to sounds outside of battle, she would look up to the sound of rustling leaves and follow it."That could be trouble,"Ylva thought drily before climbing up to meet whatever was there... If attacked:
If she was attacked at any point, her sienna aura would instantly become a blinding light with a radius of about 10 feet from her person as she would enter into a grapple with the attacker. Using claws and teeth in the process.
If not attacked:
Ylva would find it was nothing to be concerned about."Damn woodland animals,"The petite wolf thought, annoyed. Refocusing on the fight ahead, she would run through the treetops and look for an opening before jumping on the Grimm, activating her flash semblance, while warning others in the area to look away before she landed on the startled and blind snake, if it was still alive...

There wasn't enough time to pull the crystal out of her bag. Azura braced for impact, knowing she would need to rely on her defensive aura to protect her from the snake's fangs. Then she spotted Reiterpallasch as it pierced the roof of the snake's mouth. She had meant to protect a grieving Cecil, but he ended up protecting her instead. The King Taijitu recoiled back and Azura followed through with her plan. Hand gripped around the large heavy gravity crystal she finally pulled it out of her bag and threw it at the black head, which was lunging at Cecil. A strange sense of dullness enveloped her. She had already been focused on defeating the Grimm, but the sense of urgency and adrenaline vanished. Azura drew Crimson Regret with a clam hand, transforming it into sniper mode. Lining up the shot with her scope, she aimed at the injured white head and pulled the trigger.

Ridley wouldn't have been able to muffle the laugh the bubbled forth from her chest at Adam's girlish squeal even if she'd wanted too. She did, however, leave it at the laugh for now. While he might think he was safe, this was a special bit of ammunition she would safe for later. Coming to a stop after a full circle around the tree, she'd roll her golden eyes at him and speak in a sarcastic drawl. "Wow, however did you learn of such sophisticated things such as trees and... fl-aaaahs? I'm impressed by your supreme intelligence." She would tease lightly smirking as he recurred whatever creature had been unfortunate to fall victim to his prying hands. Ridley was about to explain to him what chamomile was, when she heard the crashing of flesh into wood. Bark cracking and twigs snapping. She didn't have to look to know it was Cecil, but it didn't make the sight any less shocking either. He was always so and collected... level headed. It was hard to see him like this. Stuck in a whirlpool of emotions without a sufficient way to navigate the tides. She hadn't the slightest clue what had happened in Cecil's life, but it was simple enough to see the signs and put the pieces together, or maybe she just recognized these feelings because she was all too familar with them herself. The grief of loss left its mark all the same. Anyone could see it if they looked closely enough. There was always so much sadness and regret, a desperate longing for even just one more second, but often it was that anger that came boiling to the surface. Despite her concern and empathy for her teammate, Ridley decided to leave it for Azura to handle for now. Prying eyes and questioning voices wouldn't help him, not now. It was with a soft sigh that the huntress turned back around, her golden gaze melting like butterscotch in the sun. "Chamomile is something Cecil could probably use. It's calming. People usually make it into tea."The words had only just left her mouth when a sound much too loud to be caused by a human fist reverberated through the air. She whirled around just in time to see the tree splintering as the giant snake-like grim crashed through it.
A toxic mixture of dread and regret bubbled in her stomach. Maybe they shouldn't have split up after all. She knew grim were a risk, especially with Cecil's emotions running so dark. Even so, she hadn't expected it to happen so suddenly, or to be so helpless when it did happen. Her and Adam were too far away to be of any immediate help. Even so, the girl didn't miss a beat. Golden eyes focused on the beast as her booted legs began sprinting forward, dark locks flailing behind her. "Adam!" Her hands shot to either hip, unsheathing dual piatols as she ran. The King Taijitu was clearly focused on Cecil, which was unsurprising considering the state he was in. Luckily Cecil had seemed to gotten his wits about him, having shoved his rapier through the creature's mouth. Cecil was weapon less, reaching into her bag. The good doctor was accompanying the two at least. Perhaps she could distract the grim, and give the trio time to get their bearings while Adam and herself caught up. The King Taijitu was drawn to Cecil because of his negative emotions, but whatever there was something to rival those feelings? Most the time Ridley was able to keep those feelings from her past at bay, locked up neatly in the deepest confines of her mind. The exception being the stress and fear of her brother that had creeped its way into her heart these past few months. It was so frustrating, and at times overwhelming. She'd been learning to cope with it, getting better at locking him back in the cage where she belonged... but maybe just this once she could use it to her advantage. So rather than fighting to keep that negativity at bay, she released it all at once. The anger, the frustration, the fear. The nightmares that had been plaguing her sleep and the very real memories that had been her mind. She thought about loosing her mother, and focused on that pit in her heart that the death of her sister had carved out. Then she thought about something she almost never let out of its cage. The monster her father had become. For once, she let it consume her, hoping to give the beast another target or even just confuse it momentarily.
Ridley didn't actually wait to see if her wild idea actually worked, instead she propelled herself forward until she was close enough to take aim. Locking those feelings away just as quickly as she'd summoned them. Well, she'd like to think it was that easy anyway. Warming her blood that had ran ice cold was not nearly as simple as locking a metaphorical key. Nor was slowing her racing heart or panicked breath a d there wasn't really anything she could do about the queasy stomach. Despite all that, she bit down hard on her lower lip, tasting blood on her tongue as she shoved the thoughts away. Golden hues hardened as she focused, each of her pistols raised in front of her she would launch three carefully aimed bullets from each gun, six in total. Three were aimed for the white head of the snake, and three for the black. Again, the huntress wouldn't wait, rushing forward once again as she transformed her pistols into swords. Ridley would approach the teacher and her teammates from behind. "Is anyone hurt?" She would ask, though her fiery gaze never left the beast before them.
Cecil's emotions were running rampant as he had recovered from Azura's push, his semblance running wild now as he thrusts his reiterpallasch along with Vincent's spear, but rather than hanging onto the rapier, he released it as soon as the beast began to writhe and pull back to recuperate with his weapon lodged in it's mouth. He could feel his emotions slowly dull a bit, as if his body was being covered in several leaves as the numbness overtook him. 'What... in the?' He thought as he was shaking a bit but he didn't have time to collect his thoughts as his semblance was running full force as he looked up to see the Snake launch at him again. He backed up once but noticed just how little the snake was trying to bite him as he raised his left hand up. Just as the snake lunged again for another bite, Cecil brought his right hand up and swung it up and down, the motion one would use for a sword right?
""Have another bite! It's got a real SHARP taste!" He shouted, a joke in a time like this?! No! A premonition as while the King Taijitu snapped at the air before him, Cecil summoned up a heavy Greataxe mid-swing, aiming to slam and lodge the hooked blade into the snout of the king in an attempt to climb on top as he looked to Azura and with a solid glare at her he saw her drawing her scythe in it's sniper mode. ""Aim for the eye, it'll go crazy but it'll draw the ire of the black snake!" He ordered her to do so while hoping he could climb onto the white snake's head using the great axe. His semblance was on full drive so he could feel his body moving naturally.

Adam sent a glare at the small feisty girl that said 'forget you heard that' and cleared his throat. "You should be! My intellect knows no bounds! I'll have ya know that I went to college and learned everything ranging from things called 'Atoms' to the very sophisticated flora known as 'Fla-aaaahs.'" he said matter-of-factly. He saw that smirk start to surface itself. He knew she wanted to say something and he was ready for whatever it may be. Then a cracking of wood was heard. Adam slightly turned his head to the sound, but he had a good idea what it was. He just continued to survey the area. Was this out of Cecil's character? A bit, but whatever it was at least he wasn't holding it in and he wasn't hurting people. So this was a good thing.He's smart and capable. So he could work it out. Plus, he had Team DARK and they had his back on everything. And if all else fails then Azura was more than enough to help him cope alone herself. Adam heard a sigh and turned to his team leader as she spoke. "Oh. Does it taste good? I haven't had alot of tea in my life, but most of it just tastes like hot leaf juice." he said scratching his chin. "And stop hittin' those angles makin' yer eyes so shiny and whatnot." he laughed. The moment was ruined by the grand sound of splintering wood. Greater than what Cecil did. HIs head whips around to see the snake-like Grimm rush itself through the forest seemingly chasing someone. "Man, can we have one normal class, please!" he said exasperated. At this point this is normalcy. Ridley called out to him after taking off into a sprint. "Right behind ya!" he shouts back.
He drew his pistols and began to shoot at the white head. Adam holstered his left pistol, Nice, and took aim with his remaining one, Shiny. Aiming for the eye of the serpent, Adam noticed the temperature changing in the immediate area. "Well, this could only one person." he said before watching Cecil swing what looked to be an axe at the snake head. "Huh. That's new." he said aloud. As he fired he checked over his shoulder to see Ridley with the professor and the others. Adam kept his focus on firing at the snake while keeping his eyes vigilant for the other head.

► Divide 【 Strength≡ 3.00 】 【 Quantity ≡ 2 】 【 Misc Posts ≡ 0 】 【 onslaught. of. creatures. ≡ I changed Cecil's and Adam's target to the black head as the context made it seem more like it was their actual target. If there are any major errors that need edited let me know. I'll add Vincent's post tomorrow.】
【 KING TAIJITU A 】 【 Attacking ≡ Xanthe, Miya, and a civilian 】 The black head had achieved complete success in its distraction plan. The huntswoman was focused completely upon it and was even thrusting her little stick at it. The black head easily pulled back and weaved toward the side to evade the girl's spear. It mouth curling in what looked like a wide smirk and a taunting tongue flick as well. The white side of its body following up with the side swiping blow moments after. The hit would be hard, knocking Xanthe away from the civilian. Luckily for her there were no trees to be thrown into by the blow. A good tuck and roll would save her from the worst of the landing. More importantly conserve her aura after what she surely lost from the hit itself. Having cleared the field of pests the white body turned to begin encircling the civilian. At least until the white head lurched with a pained or perhaps frustrated hiss. Both heads turning towards the huntresses. The beast's flank had a pair of new slashes etched into it. The white head hissed and spat at Miya as the weird flying things that had hurt it returned to her. The black head flicked out its tongue once more as it studied the new pest as it stepped up beside Xanthe. It then sank down until the black side of the King Taijitu's body was out of sight behind the white half. With the prey right here beside it the advantage belonged to it and the pesky prey would have to make a move.
【 KING TAIJITU B 】 【 Attacking ≡ Cecil, Azura, Ridley, Adam, and Vincent 】 The white head tried to shake more violently. Swinging back and forth, lurching up and down in large sweeping and fast movements. It wasn't having any luck in dislodging Cecil's blade from its mouth. All the while the black head had its plan seen through by the youth how played along to its goal. After playing the King like a fiddle Cecil produced a huge two hand axe from thin aim and swung it at the black head. Only viper reflexes saved the head from the result the boy was after. The axe failed to make any substantial purchase, just nicking the snake's snout. A purple crystal was able to slip in though. Shattering against the black scales along the top of it's skull. Immediately afterwards a tremendous downward force slammed the creature's black head into the ground. The black portion of the King Taijitu's body came up and squirmed about, flailing wildly around the beast's head, as it tried to pull free of the effects of gravity dust.
Now there were more coming into the fray. The King Taijitu froze completely. The black head's struggle stopping to create an opening through the struggling black body as it fixated its glowing red eye on Ridley, the black slit narrowing. The white head stared at Ridley as she released all that emotion. When she opened up her six shots all struck the beast's heads. The three hitting the white head all ricocheted off the scales and bone armor plate, each narrowly missing its right eye. The white heads stillness in these seconds as it narrowed its eyes in response to the impacts was Azura's chance to act on Cecil's orders to target the white head's eyes. Her shot struck home. The white head releasing a booming cry as it whipped about in pain. The renewed violent thrashing finally freeing Cecil's sword from its mouth. The rapier spun off hilt over tip into the trees. As for the three shots Ridley aimed at the black head, one also bounced off the bone plate above the eye while another failed to penetrate the scales and bone of the beast's skull along the side of its head. The third though hit the eye it had fixated on her. That caused the black portion of the body to start writhing wildly once more as it again tried to break free of the dust influence. Adam's barrage of bullets followed up. Pouring shots down on the pinned head. Most failed to reach the head through the body's thrashing. The rounds striking the black body were also largely failing to get through the thick hide but even if only one in three was getting through to deal more damage than a localized bruise this grimm was starting to look noticeably bloodied.
【 Ylva Patrol: Roll a d100 again. 】 As Ylva climbed up into the tree to investigate the sounds it became apparent the source was coming from the canopy. She'd have to go higher to check it out. Finding branches that were big enough to climb on that got up there was the real challenge before her. Determination would overcome it though. Eventually she'd find a spot where she could push the leafy branches aside and get out over the tree tops to look. Not long after she did Something dove onto her from above with a screech. It fumbled the attack in the blast of light. Two other screeches told her that there were three enemies that had been circling over head. She grabbed at the beast as it beat its wings frantically to recover from its little botched dive. That left Ylva having caught a Griffon by the tail. 【 Result of 1-50: 】
The effects of Ylva's flash of light wear off as she struggles with the Griffon she caught. She can't get a good hold on it and the Griffon is starting to really struggle with her now. Making matters worse the other two now circle their battle and before long one swoops in from the other side to interfere. Buffering her with the flaps of its wings as it slashes at her back with its talons.
【 Result of 51-100: 】
Ylva's flash has all the Griffon calling out in confusion. Not a one seemed able to fly straight at the moment. She's able to quickly get the upper hand on the disorientated one she grabbed hold of. Before the other two have recovered Ylva had already pulled the other in and got a firm hold on it. But it would recover soon and start putting up more of a fight. Clawing at it and biting it wasn't likely to subdue it as quickly as these things talons could probably subdue her if it stole the dominance of this grapple from her.
It had been a clean hit as the attack had taken her off guard, there was probably a lesson to be learned here about not seeing the forest for the trees or having some sort of plan B but this probably wasn't the time to be dwelling on that as she soared backwards through the air. She did however have the foresight to brace for landing and managed to control her velocity by rolling once she actually hit the ground. "Urgh..." Her whole body hurt from the impact, but she staggered back up anyway. Fortunately in all that rolling she had had the perseverance to keep a hold of her weapon. The girl from earlier who had seemed to be on a team of her own had joined her, she noted as she took a second to catch her breath. "Yes." She replied sharply. Although it was more because she had been tricked by a giant snake and was now in pain than anything Miya had done. "Xanthe. You?" She inquired, it was probably better to get her name than try for an on the spot nickname. "What if you go for the face head on but from a distance and I circle around, and then go in from the side?" The snake was clearly playing with them as it seemed to think it had the advantage. To be fair, it probably did. "But when I'm sticking it in the side of the head, you jump round and save the dude? The ol' double decoy!"

Under normal circumstances, Azura would have felt relief. Cecil was able to overcome his grief to battle with the large Grimm. She had managed to pin down the black head with gravity dust and get a clean shot through the eye of the white head. Adam and Ridley joined the fray, peppering the King Taijitu with bullets. It wasn't dead yet, but things were going well. Instead, Azura felt only a dull numbness as the creature wreath in pain, half-blind and badly damaged.
With the immediate threat of being swallowed whole over, Azura's talent for observation had her notice they weren't the only ones fighting. "Civilians!" Azura called out to those nearby. Two of her classmates were protecting them otherwise they would likely be dead already. Nonetheless, the presence of civilians changed her priorities. Cecil, Adam, Ridley and Dr. Field's all had training to deal with Grimm. Those people did not and dealing with panicked people was difficult enough without a King Taijitu snapping at you. As DARK's ranged fighter, Azura ran about 15 feet away from the snake they had been fighting before, switching out her magazine with the one containing two ice bullets. Raising her rifle to her shoulder once more, this time she aimed through the gaps in the trees towards the Grimm Miya and Xanthe were facing off against. Once she had an opening, Azura squeezed the trigger. Hopefully, the bullet would strike home and give the others some breathing room to get the civilians out of there.

Cecil mentally cursed as he failed to land a solid hit on the King Taijitu before him but he was glad Azura managed to pin the head down with gravity dust. He was quick to keep distance as it flailed along the ground to try and lift its head up a best as it could while he heard Ridley's guns, looking to see her coming in, and nodded his head. He could see Azura's bullet landing home as he brandished his ax, his eyes maintaining focus while his emotions dulled. He couldn't show gratitude... but he knew he felt it as his brain was thinking logically before Adam's bullets began to rain upon it but to no avail. Cecil's eyes focused as he saw his Reiterpallasch fly off into the trees but that also caused him to see the Civilians as Azura yelled. 'What... in the? How did people get in here?!' He thought before he looked to the near-dead King Taijitu before he spoke firmly. ""Ridley, Adam, go with Azura and help her, Ridley help think of a plan for you three, I'll finish off the Taijitu here with Vincent." He told his leader before nodding his head.
As the beast thrashed around, Cecil focused his attention on the Taijitu as he took a step and swung from down up towards the beast's upper mouth, aiming to cleave through it the up swing to add momentum as he would take another step and bring the greataxe down upon the head, aiming to cut through it as he was careful of the thrashing it made before him. 'Eliminate the target, make an area safer, and allows us to focus our attention, I alone should be enough to kill this beast, but I need to be careful of the second head...' Cecil thought as he swung down, wary of the white head and more likely to jump away if the White head attempted a counter attack.

✱ THE DOCTOR IS IN ✱ ✱ Location: The Forever Fall Forest✱ Condition: Good ✱ ✱ Company: Class✱
Vincent studied the field of battle as Team DARK kept the immediate foe in check. Two of the students were dealing with, or at least distracting, the second of the King Taijitu so as to keep it from feasting on the civilian. Xanthe's partner was not the second student there though. He was able to figure out where Ylva's had ended up by listening to the chaos ringing out from the tree canopies as the small flock of Griffons blundered about. The sound of fighting coming from up there would fade swiftly. Ylva would eventually get the better of the grimm she had caught. The others in a state of panic and confusion at their blindness would eventually bail out.
On the forest floor, Azura would notice the non-combatant and call it out to her team. She disengaged from the distressed King Taijitu to relocate to spot that gave her a clear field of fire on the second one. Azura unloaded two rounds loaded with an icy element of dust at the target as Xanthe and Miya enacted their own plan. The icy blasts impacting and drawing the ire of the black head as it hide behind the white portion of the beast's body. The plan the other two had worked while only the white head was able to focus on them. Miya got the civilian back from the grimm. On the other side of the battlefield Cecil was urging the other to help Azura. Vincent encouraged them as well to go with that option. Giving the state of the grimm Cecil was wanting to solo it should not be an issue for him. Adding in Vincent to the mix would just make it quick as well. The rest of DARK slowly moved in on the other King Taijitu, catching it in a pincer attack that involved a great deal of ranged attacks to which it had no real response for. Every time it tried to go after the DARK team members Xanthe or Miya would get in a melee blow or point blank shot to force it to stay more or less where it is. Its mounting frustration was evident. Cecil's attacks with the greataxe were dealing good damage to the other grimm. Each time he delivered a blow or two he forced the grimm to focus on him and each time it did Vincent slipped in right to its side to tag its scaly hide with his hand. After the third such action the great serpents body went slack and collapsed to the forest floor. The doctor's semblance ripping consciousness from the beast and putting it into a deep coma like sleep. Vincent left Cecil then to deliver the coup de grâce.
With the first of the King Taijitu dusting away to nothing the last three were free to come after the last one. Ylva, Vincent and Cecil coming effectively surrounded the final grimm on three sides. It wasn't stupid. The writing was on the wall and it withdrew from the battle. Planning its last strikes to drive back those close to it to give it room. It took the quickest path away from the defenders as it left, only deviating to avoid major ranged attacks that would risk crippling the grimm if it allowed such a blow to make solid contact. While tempted to pursue to beast and put an end to it Vincent ultimately decided that this was not combat class. Defending themselves was one thing but to do that would defeat the purpose for what the were actually out here for. He called back any of the students that tried to chase the fleeing King Taijitu and instead set them back to task by instructing them to return to what they were doing to gather what herbs they had collect and bring them back to the gathering spot. He spoke with the civilian the two serpents had chased into the class while they did so.
After everyone had returned to the gathering spot with their herbs he called out Cecil and Azura. "Giving Mr. Roydon's state of mind earlier I'm convinced that it would be prudent to still have you take him back to the dorms, Miss Knight, to prevent anymore unwanted guests stopping by during the remainder of this class. It is commendable that you were able to focus and snap out of it when needed but you need to work out what is surely still on your mind in there somewhere. As for your class credit.... Each of you will select one of the entrees in the book herb index pertaining to rare medicinal herbs that can be found in Vale and write an essay on it. Be sure to cover identification and all applications. I'll give you-" He glances at Cecil and decide to push the dead line back to double a more standard time frame, just to be sure Cecil will have some time to sort his thoughts before being forced to focus them on the work. "- four days. I'll expect them on my desk in the infirmary office by the time I come in the following morning. That said, I'd also like the two of you to escort our guest back to the courtyard on your way back to the dorms. He insists he is well enough to pass of being taken to the infirmary. Get him to the courtyard and he should be able to find his way from there." After they leave Vincent turns his focus on the remaining students. He goes over the collections of each individually. Reviewing what the plants are and their properties that each group found. He would add in a handful of the more useful ones in Vale as well that can't be found in the Forever Fall Forest. The final piece of the lesson was a bit of a lab lesson on how to actually prepare and make herbal remedies using some of the plants everyone had gathered. Due to the interruption of the grimm the class became a bit rushed towards the end to avoid it running long. Vincent managed to get the complete lesson in and dismissed everyone on time.
