A swarm of shadows would begin to collaborate in the center of the office knocking aside countless bottles and such. The teachers would then rise from darkness that swarmed the room. Releasing the other teachers, Yoru slouched over exhausted as whenever he transported multiple people. After a few minutes he took a deep breath and looked around the room, letting a long drawn out sigh he looked at Duo and just shook his head. He would push aside shards of glass from in front of his desk and leaned against said desk. He was about to speak when an all to familiar voice would be heard, his face would drain of all color as he listened. "Brother your time has come, don't fight it, just accept it. The end is near for all you hold dear to your heart." Yoru knew this would come, but he had not expected him to come this soon. Taking a deep breath he looked at the teachers before addressing them. "Thank y'all for your help in the forest but I need each of you to go down to the auditorium and make sure the students make it there safely, except you Zack we need to talk now." His face had no hint of a smile or joking, just complete seriousness.
≺Vanora had her eyes shut tight, not registering that they had arrived in Yoru's office for a few moments. When he removed his hand from her shoulder, she let out a sigh and opened her icy blue hues, only to be greeted with a mess of bottles. The smell of alcohol alone was enough to make Nora stumble back in discomfort, causing her to put a hand to her nose. She would swallow her urge to clean the entire office top-to-bottom, as they all had more important things to do at the moment. She listened to Yoru as he spoke, mildly taken aback by his serious tone. "O-Of course, sir." Vanora said, giving a quick bow. "If you need anything, you know where we'll be." Her eyes, however, expressed her concern as she cast a look to Zack, nodding in temporary farewell before she would look to Chrissy. "I'll meet you down there." And with that, Vanora turned to leave.≻
Chrissy shivered as they came through the shadows, moving away from Yoru with a soft sigh. She glanced around and softly giggled seeing the damage that Duo had done getting to the alcohol again. Yoru's tone however made her worried as she looked at him, nodding as she saw he was serious.
She nodded to Vanora as the other teacher left, giving the woman a slight smile. "Of course. I'll be along soon." She looked at Yoru and Zack again, frowning slightly. "One of you had better explain things later. If our students are in danger I want to know." With that she followed Vanora out of the office.
Rising out from the shadows, Zack would see the true extent of the damage caused by Duo's addiction to drink. 'We need to put that dog through rehab...' he would think to himself, shaking his head at the thought of it. He would step to the side and lean against an old, sturdy bookshelf, glancing at Yoru as he was catching his breath, noticing him tense up as he did so. As Yoru dismissed the ladies, Zack would smile softly to the two of them, giving Nora a friendly wink before she left, and a quick nod to Chrissy. With only the three of them remaining, Zack would walk over to the doors and lock them out of caution.
Duo would wander over to a clean corner of the office to curl up and sleep, his ears perked up in case he would be called on. "You're tense. This mean that 'they' have started moving?" Zack would ask quietly, walking over to Yoru's side. "The forest was filled with Grimm, more than we had estimated, and there were more than just that one kark as well. It looked like they were being gathered together." Zack would pause and pull out his flask, opening it silently and taking a swig of the potent spirits within. Wiping his mouth with his forearm, he would offer the flask to Yoru, knowing that the drink would more help settle nerves than it would inhibit them.
"We need to gather the other two and start our own plans... You want me to call upon some of my old students to aid us as well? I'm sure they would be able to provide us with good intel." At this point, he was speaking every thought that came to mind, never being a fan of silence when situations became tense. Silence meant inactivity, inactivity meant letting thoughts get to you, and when that happened, even the strongest of wills would falter. Looking over the papers that were scattered on Yoru's desk, courtesy of Duo's antics, he would notice papers listing the recent actions of the other two headmasters. "I should be able to track down Lance, I know his usual hiding spots. Rosa would more than likely fly over if you asked her to. While I'm away, I can do some digging of my own. Just let me know when you need me to head out."
Yoru just nodded as Zack made mention of their enemies and walked around his desk, cleared the seat off of glass, and sat down. Taking a deep breath he would look at Zack, take the flask and take a swig, and then begin talking. "The others are already here so you don't need to disappear for now, just wait and I'll keep you on hold until the time is right.
Now about the Grimm, you said it seems like they are being gathered correct?If that be the case we need to know what our enemies abilities are. I only know of Rubrum Burakkudaria and his illusions, as well as his finisher. He is deadly in his own right and I would not advise anyone to fight him alone." At this point he would look at Zack to see what he knew on the situation.
Zack would nod once before crossing his arms across his chest. "There is an obvious question to be asked about him, but I hardly see the point in asking." He would comment gently. Walking in front of the desk, he would speak in a serious tone. "Old man Shade told me about the problem child that decimated the academy during his run as headmaster, girl by the name of Annabel Blackthorn. One of the noble families in Vacuo, up until they were all killed by the previous Autumn Maiden. She manipulated and brainwashed over half of the student body and used them as fodder against the Maiden, and getting the powers all to herself. Essentially, she's a spoiled brat who does things off of her own whims, gather slaves, manipulates them for her own amusement, eliminates them when she gets bored. That's all we know about her currently because no one has ever gotten into a combat situation with her and survived. No bodies are found, and no evidence of her powers either."
With a sigh, he would look out the window of the office to the skyline. "With her skill set, I could see a possibility for her to be able to influence the Grimm to focus on an area by causing a great deal of strife. But until we know what her powers are for certain, she would have to be classified under the same as Rubrum, not to be fought alone." He would turn around and lean against Yoru's desk, facing the door. "So then, you want to explain this to Chrissy, or am I gunna be the one to face her maternal side? Either way, we'll need Duo to diffuse the situation..." He would say jokingly, smirking at Yoru. "Jokes aside, you said they were here already, does that mean that we'll be seeing them momentarily then?"
Lance was not in a great mood, he had been hearing disturbing rumours about an old pupil of his aswell as some other unknown warriors that were attempting to recruit the freelance warriors into their "group". Lance scoffed at the idea, he knew the girl better tha anyone right now and he honestly felt sorry for the guys that had to put up with her. Striding across the academy roof, Lance made his way to the edge of the roof, he simply held onto the ledge and maneuvered himself into the window below. He got into the building and he made his way into the headmaster's lift. He tapped the button and waited for the lift to arrive. It took him a few minuted before he could get into the lift, and then arrive at the right floor. The doors opened up and Lance angrily strode into the room. "This is a nightmare, I knew the girl wold be troublesome but now this is getting silly," he huffed as he sat down in one of the chairs facing the desk. "I would not be suprised if these violent warriors we have seen cropping up lately will attack a major city. Let is hope we will be there in time," he said more to himself then the others. It was rare for Lance to be so angry, to talk this much and to be worrying. Lance glanced up to see Zack was in the room too. His anger was making his senses more soft and lax.

[From Atlas] While in her normal uniform, Rosa was seen siting in her office, with piles of documents set a side. Her thick wavy hair was elegantly pulled back into a high pony tail, and her reading glasses just at the tip of her nose. She held one document in her right hand, while copying down information with her left, occasionally looking back and forth between the two. When she would finish one, Rosa would move to the next file, never missing a step, nor beat to this pattern of work. A wrap of knuckles was beating against her office door, and even without looking up "Come in" She answered to the call. Her assistant hurried on inside, and moved to Rosa's desk with haste. "Ma'am, I've received a summons letter requesting your immediate attention." The assistant spoke, as if out of breath, and handed her the document. Rosa refused to look away from her work, and took the document with care. "Thank you, you are dismissed." Rosa responded. "But!" The young girl tried to protest but quickly covered her mouth as she saw how quickly Rosa glared up at her. Her eyes were fierce like a hawks gaze, the poor girl- terrified of Rosa, she quickly bowed her head, and excused herself from the office. Once the door was fully shut, Rosa let out an irritable sigh. She set the document in her right hand down, and began to rub her temples between her eyes. Once her nerves were calm, she removed her hand from her face and began to open the letter, while reading the content inside.
The letter was sent from Beacon, it described the increasement of Grim activities, as well as lack of man power to handle it. It also informed her that Rosa's presence was highly requested by the Headmaster himself. As if war wasn't stressful enough, she gathered the Maidens influence had a hand in their distress. Rosa leaned back in her chair, and pressed the com button. "Yes Ma'am?" A male voice responded. "Ready my transportation to Beacon." She answered rather calmly. The male at the other end of the communicator acknowledge her request, and began making for preparations. Meanwhile, she dressed in her armor, and gathered her Tower-shiled, and Claymore, which rested against her back, and made her way out of the office.
[Present] Walking down the hallway with steadfast, she noticed one of her teachers from atlas was walking down the same hallway. Yet Rosa paid no mind, as she had her own business to attend to. Her heavy armor clanked with each aggressive step, till finally, she came through the headmasters entrance, pushing the door open, and stepping inside. Even in armor, she still was considered as a man. Arriving just on time, as requested, but that didn't stop her irritation of the situation. Without saying a word, she walked over to an empty spot in the room, and leaned back against the wall, folding her arms in front of her armored chest, while waiting for the meeting to press forward.

When Lance entered, Zack couldn't help but grin warmly at his old boss, despite the fact that he was far more troubled than he normally would have allowed. When he finally noticed Zack's presence, Zack would give him his casual salute. "Been a while Lance." He would say casually as Rosa came into the office, dressed in full armor. Zack would whistle low and grin again. "Nice to see you too Lady Cobolt. Didn't realize that this was a formal occasion, I would have worn a better pair of jeans." He would tease kindheartedly. Duo would stir from his nap and look at the two new individuals with gleaming silver eyes, his expression neutral. With a yawn, Duo would stretch and trot over to Zack's side, sitting upright and remaining quiet.
Zack would take off his shades and glance at Yoru, his silver eyes gleaming slightly in the light from the window. "I guess I'll take the stage first then." He would say offhandedly. Looking to the other two with a serious expression, he would step away from the desk and pace slowly. "The reason why we're here is obvious; the Maiden's are making their move, and we need to start doing the same. Any information that you two have on the maidens would be an excellent starting point, we all can compare notes, and try to figure out what their moves will be from there."
Looking to Rosa, he would smile playfully. "We may be here a while, so maybe you could let up and show us mortals your face at least? We're all allies here after all." He would chuckle and glance at Lance. "I know your reasoning, so I'll leave that decision to you friend." Returning to his original spot, he would lean against the desk once more and look to Yoru, crossing his arms once again. "Warmed them up for ya brother. Try not to forget your lines." He would tease, smirking playfully at Yoru in an attempt to lift his spirits.
Yoru sighed as he listened to the Zack and his description of Annabelle and thought what the other two would be like. He would jump up from his desk when he heard the elevator ring and let his guard down when he saw his two comrades enter the room. He would remain quiet as Zack talked and explained the situation to the others.
When the spotlight was turned over to him he would walk around the desk and hit one little button covering the windows and shutting down the elevator. Once this had been done a hologram of the four maidens would appear in the center of the room and he would begin. "First of all I appreciate y'all coming at such short notice, now onto business. The four maidens are becoming more blatant in their actions. We only know about two though, Annabelle Blackthorn, a master of manipulation and destruction. And then there's Rubrum Burakkudaria, my....brother also known as Skeith the Terror of Death, a master of Illusions and stealth. He is the one who will look like your best friend and then stab you to make you think your own best mate did this. The other two are unknown, at least to me and Zack here. Any info y'all have would be most appreciative."
Rosa's entrance did not surprise Lance one bit, he heard her coming a mile off as he was familiar with the sound of that armour she wore. He could appreciate hiding ones face as only Yoru had seen it and that was by accident. He listened to Zack now as he started the meeting off. He also knew the maiden known as Annabelle because she was his mission once and he failed, the only tie he had failed actually. "I do have some info on that girl Annabelle, if the maidens want an army she will be their supplier due to her being able to control grimm to a certain degree. I am familiar with that power of hers," he said in a serious tone. That fight was dirty, each party was taking trick shots and fighting in a style no honorable fighter would be proud of. His eyes under the mask turned to yoru who apparently was up next. Lance did not know how powerful the maidens were, their leader was still a mystery and that bugged Lance. He knew the strengths of the people in the room atleast and that eased his mind somewhat as he knew each member here was special in their own way. His gaze shifted to Yoru, the expert in dust usage. In fact the best dust user here by far, there was no doubt about that. He looked to Rosa, she had the strongest semblance here. Infact Lance has never seen it been beaten even once. And finally he looked to Zack was the finest swordsman Lance had ever sparred with. Lance just hoped they would be enough to stop these maidens.

Rosa had been listening to what little intel everyone had to offer, and in her own opinion, it fell short as to the importance of the matter at hand. The armored woman loosened her arms back to her side and took a step forward. To her right she pulled out a communicator, and held it out. A small blue hologram of her gathered information appeared on the small frame, and began going down the list. "Sagen, Annabel, Rubrum." When Rosa spoke, the metalic tone from speaking through her helmet rang, even though it masked her feminine voice to sound that of a male, she pressed on. "Winter, Autumn, and Spring......" Rosa paused again, and scrolled down the screen. "As far as I have heard already......I'm not impressed." As though scolding for them not having more intel. Again, she took another step forward. "Nevertheless....I have sent solders under cover to each Maiden, undercover as a Devoted Follower. In doing so, I have gathered the following data." She then made the screen larger and placed the information next to the of Rubrum. "For starters, this Maiden, as we know him to be Rubrum, invokes the power of Spring. He is commonly known for his illusion tricks. On the side note, he seems to portray the behavior of a Sadist, taking joy by inflicting pain on to others, or simply watching them suffer." Again, Rosa paused, and walked over to the next Maiden hologram, and added her next document to the image. "Next, we have Annabel, the woman who Invokes the season of Autumn....The only information I have been able to gather before the disappearance of my solder- is the base fact that the element she uses, is Fire based....." Moving on the the last one, again, she posted her hologram next to the image provided. "....Unfortunately this man was capable of seeing through the guise of my solder....." She trailed off and added a second image that showed only a frozen cube of ice....with her solders head inside it. "And sent this in return....." She turned off all of her holographic documents, and stood in front of everyone with her hands behind her back held firmly in each hand. "It is inexcusable that we are lacking in important information!" She scolded once more. Rosa turned her attention to Yoru. "I know you don't need me to tell you the lives that are at stake! But how can you expect everyone to work effectively when we are blind to of any important information about our enemies? We might as well be chickens running around with our heads loped off!" Her voice rose in slight irritation. Taking a moment to keep her head cool, she took a step back, and re-presented her communicator once more, with a shadowed image, and a vague description. "However, not all is lost.....I have received recent intel on Summer.....No moves or form of the characters motivation of yet.....But the fact that a new maiden has been spotted is enough to know that we have our maidens.....With he recent events, it's safe to say that the maidens are getting ready. As to what is still uncertain.......However....My army is at my disposal should it be necessary....." Her voice turned cold, and her posture straightened out. Rosa placed away her device back to her side, and was already waiting for when they would be dismissed, or given other Suggested orders.

Zack would nod quietly at Lance's input. The ability to manipulate grim was indeed a very dangerous skill, he would need to look into that to see how strong of a skill it was. The moment Rosa spoke up however, he wouldn't be able to hold himself back from cracking a grin at the ridiculous voice module she had installed. After listening to her input, he would laugh at her scolding and get off from the desk. "Pardon me m'lady, but not all of us are commanders of a military dictatorship. The fact that you sacrificed lives for information is one thing, but for information that didn't even amount to much at all?" He would loose his carefree smile, his silver eyes glowing with a cold rage. "That is downright pathetic." He would growl at her, stepping up to her so that he could glare her down right in her face.
"Lance had a bit of information that we actually needed to be aware of. You gave us 3 names, a m.o., an element, and a picture of your failure as a leader." His words were cold and sharp, showing just how angered he was over the fact that their supposed ally was chastising the three of them for a lack of information that was 'acceptable' to her. "Maybe next time you'll drop the attitude and be a bit more cooperative when you want to bring jack squat to the stage. Stepping away from her, he would look to Yoru with a serious expression, his mood still dark. "Give me a week, and I can bring you more information than this. 'Devoted follower', that's cute. Dead men walking is more appropriate." He would scoff before walking to the door, unlocking it manually. "Leo will have a communication wavelength that only he and I use, talk to him to get the access code to that, and I'll keep in touch." With that, he would storm out of the office, shutting the door loudly. Duo would look to the remaining three and yawn, returning to the comfortable corner he rested in earlier and curl up once more.
Stalking silently down the hallway, he would stop at his room for only a few moments to change into a darker jacket and grab his travel pack. He would continue down the hall and stop for a moment at Chrissy's room, taking a piece of paper and a pen from his pack to scribble down a quick note and stick it under her door before going out of the building, and into the town. A clue he had noticed among the reports that Rosa had shown them was a subtle one, something that Annabel had been recorded saying. "It matter not, what you had planned to do, for no one will find you in any hill or vale..." Knowing what needed to be done, he would slip his shades on and travel down the road to the city, silent as a shadow.

Rosa scoffed at Zack from first approach, however, when her took his attitude, his anger towards her, them were fighting words. Her hand casually went behind her, and firmly gripped to the hilt of her claymore, not drawing it, but wanting to. Under the helmet, she was smiling. However, after he left the room (I'm assuming) She removed her hand, and folded her arms under her chest. "A true ape......" She looked back to Yoru. "Since he failed to pay attention that I wasn't here for most of the meeting, being called on such SHORT notice, while I'm in the middle of dealing with said controlled Grims in my own territory, on the brink of another ALL-OUT-WAR! the least anyone with a shred of common sense or courtesy would be to have given me MORE information about the meeting itself, maybe then I would have brought the rest of my documents, and further information on battle formations the enemy has, as well as locations to each previous to current grim attacks, and gatherings, along with strategy!" She protested with irritation. Taking a step back, she calmed her nerves once more. "If there is nothing else Headmaster Yoru....." She bowed her head to him, and dismissed herself from the office. Upon exiting, she was greeted by one of her assistance who held a rather thick folder containing recent events from the past hour in Atlas. "Sir, we have new reports of Grim sightings near the outer rim of Atlas. They seem to be unaware of the sewer passage, and haven't made a move." "Or they know of it, and are waiting." Rosa cut off her assistant. "Fortify the passageway, if need be, shut it down......To think the Grim have made it this close.....it's like they knew-" Rosa paused. "With the recent uproar on these maidens, it was stated that one could manipulate the minds of Grim.....And if I'm not mistake, us as well......Contact my father, I need him to go through the list of each solder sent out, and see which one went to said maiden with that abilities......We may have a mole...." "Of course, right away!" Her assistant replied with haste, and made way to hurry on back to Atlas. Meanwhile Rosa was curious to see these new recruits, to see if they even know the risk of these Maidens, and their sole purpose is here....if they are even aware of it..... [Exit]
