Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nova, Ivory & Orchid
"The Crimson Fang doesn't need a weakling like you, and you'll never be welcomed back to Panthera, hand or no hand." Kha growled, her ears laying back. It was the female Porcupine that interfered though, putting a hand on Kha's shoulder.

"Lay off, will you Kha? I dunno what happened back at your tribe, but Ivory here caught our escaped prisoner, so I saw that's worth welcoming him back. As long as they support Faunus rights, any are welcome here."

Kha pushed the hand off her shoulder. "Don't trust him with anything too challenging." Just then the siren started going off in the camp. Kha's eyes narrowed. "Don't let them out of your sight, while I go deal with this." Then Kha jogged off towards the front of the camp.

"Mind telling me what that was all about?" The other female asked. With a gesture, one of the faunus guarding the prisoner cage opened the door. "Put her back where she belongs, and I'll take you two for a tour. If you're looking to take back what is rightfully ours, you've come to the right place!" She grinned at Nova.


Jessica, Feralis & Noah
Feralis's got a few clean hits in, as the Crimson Fang member he was currently on top not expecting an attack. By the time he got his wits enough to defend himself, his aura had already been depleted due to Feralis' strength and the vambrace spikes. Once the male started fighting back he managed to get a few shots in of Feralis. He may have even won the tussle if both of them had been at full aura, but as he was feeling the full pain of Feralis's hits, while Feralis was still protected, the struggle only lasted a couple of minutes before the Crimson Fang member fell unconscious.

"N-nice doggy." The other Crimson Fang guard studdered out, obviously terrified of the wolf maw full of very sharp teeth in his face. He didn't have long to be terrified though, as a solid wack from Jessica's gun had his eyes roll up and he collapsed.

Just like with the boarbatusk, they had won the fight, yet somehow, things seemed to be getting worse. The screams of the guard Noah had been rag dolling had been heard by those at the gates. Just as both Crimson Fang members had fallen, an alarm sounded. Ready or not, the trio had best make themselves seem like as big of a threat as possible to pull the maximum amount of Crimson Fang out front. Hopefully the others were ready despite Noah not hearing from Nova yet.

((Quick, think on your feet!))

Nova, Ivory & Orchid
As the door to the makeshift prison swung open, Ivory and Nova would be able to catch a glimpse of the humans huddled inside. Most of them didn't look in much better shape than Orchid, sporting bruises and minor cuts plenty. Some were holding their sides or nursing a limb as if it might be broken or badly sprained. As the siren went off Orchid gave them one last fearful look before she was shoved inside. The distraction was happening too soon for their plan, and she knew it. Their porcupine host either didn't notice or chalked up the look to being shoved back in the hole. "No wonder Kha hates you so much! She's always judging people by their strength. She doesn't seem to realize we need cooks, builders and gatherers too or this whole camp will fall apart. We can't all be warriors! Why don't you have someone take those chains out?" She asked.

"Probably just another Grimm attack." She said off-handly as she began walking again, motioning for them to follow. "You two are both eager. I like it." She flashed the pair a grin. "Most Faunus who turn up here want to know where the grub and their bed is before anything else." It was about now the Nova would feel Noah taking heavy gunfire as the wolf charged forward. They would quickly reach the armoury, and what was pretty obviously the fighting pit Orchid had told them about. A dugout in the ground, with a low railing where watchers could lean on and watch the fight below. A ladder with a gate provided an easy way to toss the human combatants down or kick back down anyone who tried to escape the fight. Luckily the dirt made seeing the blood difficult, but the Faunus noses of Ivory and Nova would let them smell it this close. The armoury was their first spot though.

It was unguarded on the outside. Inside was a lone, grizzled wolf. He was clearly older, with a torn ear and an eyepatch over one eye. He was sitting at a table making arrows when they walked in. "Hey Quinn, I got-"

WHOOOOOSH!

The Porcupine looked shocked, sharing a look with the Quinn. The wolf quickly rose, revealing a cybernetic leg. He hefted an axe and ran out the door. "That's not Grimm. If you two know how to fight, follow me. If not wait here until I get back." With that, their host ran out the door as well, leaving Ivory and Nova alone in the armoury. They would have a few moments to decide what to do next before chaos would explode in the camp.



Jessica, Feralis & Noah
Heavy gunfire rained down upon Noah as he ran towards the wall. Jessica fired back with Zofia, trying to give Noah some cover. "Suppressing fire!!!" She screamed while aiming for the top of the wall where the Crimson Fang was standing to shoot at Noah. It was a surprisingly effective tactic if short-lived. The Crimson Fang had been expecting Grimm, not gunfire. Many of them quickly ducked behind the wall for protection. It took them a few seconds to get it together and realize only one gun was firing at them. It was enough time for Noah to drop of the dust and start heading back though. Shots from the Crimson Fang resumed, mostly in the general direction of Jessica, though a few were still aiming at Noah despite his retreat.

Instead of ducking out of the way the leader of team MAIN activated her semblance, her skin becoming like steel. Bullets bounced off her, while she kept the pressure on the Crimson Fang and provided cover fire for Noah. By the time the wolf made it back to the tree line, he had taken about half the damage needed to cause him to poof out of existence for a bit. If it hadn't been for Jessica's actions, Feralis's plan would have failed, Noah poofing and dropping the backpack halfway to the wall.

Bullets rained down on Jessica, but her part in the plan wasn't done yet. She ejected the magazine to the M4 assault rifle and popped in a fire dust bullet. She could feel her semblance threatening to give out under the heavy fire, but she took careful aim. They only had one shot at this. She squeezed the tiger.

WHOOOOOSH!

Screams of shock and fear filled the air. Those Crimson Fang near the wall were suddenly lifted and thrown back by the dust combination. Part of the fence, along with the wood platform behind it the guards had been standing on, was taken out as well, the heavy posts being lifted out of the ground by the light gravity dust. The silence that followed was deafening. Jessica breathed heavily, exhausted by the effort of maintaining her semblance, which had now given out. Feralis, Noah and Jessica would have a few precious moments to make their next move before the Crimson Fang could recover.

((WHOOSH))

Nova & Ivory
The camp was like a kicked anthill. Faunus were running in every direction, weapons drawn. Unfortunately since Ivory and Nova delayed in leaving the armoury they were interrupted by three faunus bursting into the room. They were all younger and panicked-looking. Likely a small group of new recruits who hadn't picked their weapons of choice yet. "A-are you knew too?" One of them asked.


Jessica, Feralis & Noah
Kha pulled out her spear and shield, racing through the camp to the hole in the wall. All around her, faunus were getting to their feet looking somewhat dazed. Was the Tribe attacking? When she reached the whole she saw a lone Faunus charging forward besides a large wolf. A Faunus?! Attacking the Crimson Fang?! Didn't he know they were fighting for his very equality? Of course, it was a dog. Only a dog faunus would be this stupid. Ears lying back in rage, Kha charged forward, shield held high, spear knocked beside it. Feralis would hear more gunfire as Jessica's bullets bounced off of Kha's shield. More Faunus were pouring out of the wall though and Jessica soon gave up trying to hit Kha in favour of more vulnerable targets. "Stupid mutt!" Kha screamed when she got to Feralis, quickly jabbing her spear forward.

Noah's large claws knocked faunus to the left and right as it charged forward. The male Monkey Faunus Ivory and Nova met earlier leaped at the second, jumping overhead and landing on Noah's back. One hand tightly gripping the wolf's furry mane, the other thrusting towards Noah's neck with an Emeici Piercer.

"They need to get the captives out of there now!" Came Jessica's voice through the comms.

Everyone
There was a screech overhead as a Griffon dived for the remaining bits of wall. It was easily shot down, but the creature wasn't alone. More screeching followed, and the Crimson Fang were forced to focus their gunfire on the skies. Black tar horses with manes of smoke charged out of the woods, running down anyone in their paths, charging for the hole in the wall. Luckily it kept the Faunus on the ground too busy to swarm Noah and Feralis. If Ivory and Nova headed outside they would find the sky swarming with Griffon and Ravengers

((Better get those captives out of the prison of Kha gonna have some wolf meat for lunch!))

Nova & Ivory
Orchid grinned at Ivory and Nova as the heavy wooden gate swung open. Unlike the panic everywhere else, those in the pit had a fire in their eyes. Eagerness to get free, and get revenge. The prisoners cheered, quickly taking up the extra spears Ivory had grabbed. Ivory and Nova's new challenge would be to keep the group together long enough to get out of the camp.

The three newbies caught up to Ivory and Nova shortly after, all big eyes and nerves, with frequent glances at the Grimm, darkened sky. Suddenly Nova was threatening them, even though none of them had said anything yet. The three looked at each other, exchanging some sort of silent communication, before turning and running. But not without screaming "They are letting the prisoners out!!" As they ran, evidently looking for a senior Crimson Fang member to deal with the escapees. A couple of Ravagers gave chase as they ran. Speaking of Ravagers, 5 or so began assaulting the group of prisoners. A few of them began jabbing their spears, trying to stab the winged menaces. "It is past time to be out of here!" Orchid declared, jabbing at a Ravager. A gun would be really helpful right about now.


Jessica, Feralis & Noah
The monkey faunus gracefully jumped off Noah as the wolf rolled. Noah might be stronger, but the speed and agility of the faunus would prove to be a challenge. Emeici Piercers gripped in both hands he stared down Noah, waiting for the wolf to make his move, ready to dodge in a split second and retaliate. Then all the sudden he relaxed. "If only we had more time." The monkey told Noah with a laugh before he started running towards the trees. Jumping over Horse's and sliding under Ravager dives the monkey dodge the Grimm attacks. Abandoning the Crimson Fang camp to fight another day it seemed.

It seemed for a moment that Feralis's plan was going perfectly. He successfully trapped Kha's spear, but when he swung down with his axe the Lionness grinned. A golden aura shield appeared in front of her metal one. Feralis's axe bounced off the golden shield with a force twice the amount he had struck it with. The weapon went flying backwards, Feralis with it if he didn't let go. Her victory was short-lived though, as Kha was almost immediately blindsided by a Horse Grimm charging into her from the side. With so much hate pouring out of her, she was a beacon for Grimm. Kha went flying through the air, but before she could land a Griffon grabbed one of her arms in its great claw and started flying skyward.

Feralis wasn't to be ignored by the creatures of dark though. With its first target carried off, the Horse reared up, its clawed front hooves pawing at the air. Then it twisted around to land back on its front feet, facing Feralis, glaring at him with those glowing red eyes Grimm all shared. Then it charged forward.

"Get back to the trees!" Jessica ordered through the comms. "Ask Noah if the others are out of the camp yet!"

Everyone
The Crimson Fang has broken. Some run for shelter in the trees, others run for the makeshift camp hoping the walls and buildings will provide cover from the sky assault. Grimm fall, turning to ash as arrows and bullets pierce them. Faunus, screaming and running as they are run down and killed by the creates of Grimm. In the chaos, it is impossible to tell who was killing more of who.

((GTFO))
