Hunting for two

Azure leaped out the air ship and into a field of dead flowers and sand (This sucks I always get the worst places when it comes to hunting.) he thought to himself as he used his glyph to boost his speed so he could get out the sand and on to solid ground. He skated around the to see what he can find and if there was anything that he could fight or just watch but no luck with that do to the fact that he keep going in circles the whole time “Hello is anything slash one out here am really bored!” he shouted as he stands around in the middle of no were. Azure felt that he may have gotten off the airship a bit to early “Something come out and do something am really bored I’ll even take a Beowulf at this point some on.” He shouted as stomps on his skate on the ground.

Maeva was running along the shores of the Kompress Beach, deserted from anyone wanting to enjoy a little swim as someone reported the sighting of Grimms in the area. Wearing the mask of The Beast, she tried to cover as much ground as possible in order to spot the creatures she was on the hunt for. Although, wearing this particular mask might be confusing to anyone not paying much attention and took the girl for the Grimms that were sighted.

Gaining in speed with every second, Maeva could spot an airship further down the beach that seemed to drop off someone. "Is that another Hunter? I better change mask then before they attack me by mistake." did she say to herself before slowing down and removing her mask and returning to her normal form. She kept walking toward the other student and waved at him to signal her presence to not surprise him as she said: "Hey! Are you here for the Grimms as well? Good to see I won't be alone dealing with them."

As she got closer to him, Maeva started to look thoroughly at the other Hunter. Garbed in blue, the guy seemed young, younger than her actually, which surprised her quite a bit. She knew that some students at Syne were taking on hunts to train themselves, but this young? But she quickly thought that she had to do the same way before he probably did, so she didn't judge. The boy's heterochromia caught her attention in particular as she stared a little at his eyes. As for Maeva, she was wearing her usual outfit of grey and denim, opting for a skirt with leggings as skinny jeans aren't the best to fight.

Despite many people constantly visiting Kompress Beach, the area was notorious for being prone to grimm attacks. This particular pack of Boarbatusks currently roaming the beach was a prime example of this.

Three Boarbatusks roamed the beach, attacking any humans and fauness that lie in their way. Spotting two students, Azure and Maeva in the distance, the boarbatusks began to run at full speed at them.

As the boarbatusks began to get closer to the students, they began to form a large circle around them instead of directly attacking. Boarbatusk 1 let out a loud screech, and the others quickly followed. Moments after, the boarbatusks began to charge at the students from all directions.

Boarbatusk 1 and Boarbatusk 2 were charging at Azure, intending to use their front talons to impale the student from different directions.

Boarbatusk 3 went for Maeva instead, also using its talon in an attempt to impale Maeva.

Damage:

Important Info:

Azure saw the girl but wasn’t really paying attention to her “Umm what did you say I wasn’t paying attention?” he asks her as he notices that there a Boarbatusk charging at him (Wow I need to pay more attention to what people are saying to me.) he thinks to himself using his glyph to boost his jump into the air and started to spin around like a top with two small hurricanes around his skates “I think this is goanna hurt you guys a lot more than me!” he shouts as he kicks both hurricanes at the Boarbatusk as he falls back to the ground.  Azure waits for the two hurricanes to become one (I wonder how that girl is doing right about now?) he wondered as he boosted his defense and then used sent a small orb’s from is glyph into the Hurricane “Hey the names Azure nice to meet you.” He shouted as he looked around for her.

Spoiler:

As Maeva was about to repeat herself as the boy didn't seemed to listen to her the first time, she heard a loud screech coming from around them. It seemed like the Grimm they were looking for were the ones finding them in the end. "Good, at least I won't be searching anymore." did she thought to herself. It seemed like the boy was targeted by two of the three Boarbatusks that they were facing, leaving one for the girl as she put on her Warrior's mask.

Her right arm started to transform itself, becoming as white as the Grimms' plating and forming a giant serpent-blade with each section linked by Maeva's aura that went from clear to red. Even though it doesn't look like it, this arm-sized whipblade has the same reach of three meters as her original chainwhip that is hidden under her sleeve when her arm is normal.

When the transformation was done, Maeva stood ready as the boar that was targeting her was charging towards her with what seemed like a linear pattern. Following a standard tempo of 4/4, she counted to herself and when the Grimm was close enough... "...1, 2..." ...she spun counter-clockwise and away from the charging beast... "...3..." ...and swung her arm-blade using the momentum of the spin to slash at the boar's legs... "...and 4!" Hoping that the hit, if it landed, would topple the Grimm, Maeva would move towards the beast's belly and avoid its back in order to stab it right in the soft spot, doing three stabs on the three first times of her tempo and dodging backward on the fourth to distance herself from it.

With all this, she didn't ear the boy introducing himself.

Spoiler:

Boarbatusk 1 and Boarbatusk 2 were both struck by Azure's hurricane like attack, but attack struck both of the Boarbatusk's on the top of their armored head, thus the damage was minimized (-15 HP Each). It did knock both of the boarbatusks back a bit though. The attack wasn't enough to stun both of them however, and they both screeched and tried again, charging at Azure once more, intending to impale him with their talons.

Boarbatusk 3 had fallen victim to Maeva's leg sweep, which caused it to fall on it's back (-25 HP). This left Boarbatusk 3 open to Maeva's next two attack towards it's open unprotected belly, which landed successfully (-25 HP + -25 HP). Before the last strike could land however, Boarbatusk 3 began to spin its body foreward rapidly, moving foreward like a pinwheel, evading Maeva's final attack. Spinning and moving at dangerous speeds, Boarbatusk 3 moved in a quick, large arc around the beach before directing itself at Maeva, intending to run her over.

Damage:

Important Info:

[OOC: Azure if you could include HP and Aura also in your post that would be great.]

Azure saw that the Boarbatusk weren’t finished as he saw them try to attack him again (Oh come on why are they so hard to kill!) he thinks to himself as he charges at one of them and at the last second before it made contact he jumped over it and grabbed its tusk and used it to block the other Boarbatusk. Azure backflips way to get some space “Okay I need to finish at less one of you.” He tells them as he let them get back up started to sending 5 air slashes swipes at their legs in hopes of tripping them (Time to change my attack plane.) he told himself as he stopped using his dust and charged at they before they could “That’s right I need to hit their legs more.” He told himself as he boosted his speed a bit to speed up his baseball slid at one of their legs and tips it.

Spoiler:

Maeva was glad that most of her attacks connected with her target while it missed horribly. She hopped to repeat the same tactic but unfortunately the boar came charging at her by spinning like a wheel, so it was covering its belly by doing so. The girl had to find something else in order to defeat it. She knew that by rolling like this the Grimm would be as easy or even easier to dodge than the last time it charged but that is only buying time to the beast. "Maybe if I try to launch it in the air... it could work." did she thought to herself.

The faunus tried to find a way to send the Boarbatusk flying, and that's when she thought about creating a hole could maybe work. If the boar goes fast enough, it would be possible that it would launch itself from trying to go back the hole with the slight bounce that reaching the hole would give. As the Grimm was circling around, Maeva took the opportunity to dig a rather large hole using her arm in hope that it would work. If not, she stood ready to dodge the assault.

Spoiler:

Azure's first two air slashes managed to clip the leg of Boarbatusk 1 and 2, but was unable to fully trip them. As the next air wave came by, Boarbatusk 1 and 2 both jumped over, evading the attack from hitting their legs once again. With its attack failing, Boarbatusk 1 began to spin foreward like a pin wheel, charging at Azure at high and dangerous speeds.

Boarbatusk 2 however just rounded Azure's side and lunged at the student, trying to impale him with it's talons.

Boarbatusk 3 went right into the whole Maeva dug, and was launched in the air. This didn't stop the boarbatusk though, as it tried to use it to its advantage. Boarbatusk 3 continued spinning in a pinwheel motion, and attempted to come down directly on top of Maeva.

Damage:

Important Info:

Azure jumped over the first Boar but got flipped over by the second one (I wish Chace and Jack were here right now) he thought to himself as he laid on the sandy floor with his aura flashing around him. As he stood back up he places glyph all around the two Boars and as he went around them he summoned his orbs and had them hit the ground under the boars and lifted them up just enough for him to make a concoction kick from his wind to one in belly’s (Why are you so hard to kill!?) he asked himself as he kicks them in to the other one “Can I have some help with this umm…Blue hair?!” he shouted to the girl as he skated away from the boar’s. Azure saw that the boars were still moving even though he put everything into his kicks “Okay I got you two this time!” he shouts sending more orbs at the ground under them and dashed over to one and grab it by the tusk and with the help of his glyph he slammed it on its back and broke off one tusk and stabbed it’s belly (Can’t keep this up.) he told himself as he moved out the way of second one.

Spoiler:

As Maeva's plan to launch the Boarbatusk worked like a charm by sending it airborne, she had a really large smile hidden under her mask as she was herself pleasantly surprised that it worked. Although, the girl thought that by being now above ground, the Grimm would stop its pinwheel motion and try for a safe landing by taking a less aerodynamic posture but instead kept rolling midair and was probably not going to stop until it would have landed. Maeva decided to remove her Warrior's mask for now as she planned on switching to the Guardian after. She had the feeling that she would need to stop the beast on it's track. As she removed the mask, her arm slowly return to normal, all the while plating seemingly fading to the salty breeze of the ocean. The mask then took a more simpler form before Maeva strapped back on her arm.

The girl prepared herself to step aside once more from the Grimm's assault, but as she was about to roll away, she stopped herself from moving and turned toward the boy that was dealing with the two other boars and she looked furious. "What did you just call me? Blue Hair? The name's Maeva and you better remember it!" Going into her tantrum, she completely forgot about the Grimm just long enough for it to come crashing right next to her, sending her flying a meter or two on the side. She was currently trying to get up when she looked up at the beast.

Spoiler:

Boarbatusk 1 continued moving in a pinwheel style fashion and as a result, Azure's strike to it hit its out shell which was currently protecting it's entire body as it spun, thus doing minimal damage (- 15 HP). Even after being struck, Boarbatusk 1 continued with it's pinwheel motion, quickly circling the beach around Azure, then propelling its spinning armored body at Azure's back.

Boarbatusk 2 screeched in pain as one of it's tusks was broken off and had it's belly stabbed (-25 HP). This wasn't enough to stop it though, and Boarbatusk 2 also began to spin it's body in a pinwheel motion, and sped at Azure from the front, intending to run him over with a frontal, pinwheel assualt.

Boarbatusk 3's pinwheel motion came to a stop as it struck Maeva, and it landed on the ground on all four of it's feet. This moment didn't last long though, as immediately, Boarbatusk 3 lept at Maeva, intending to impale her with it's tusks.

Damage:

Important Info:

[OOC: Hey Azure, in your posts from here on out, don't automatically have the Boarbatusks (or whatever you're fighting) get hurt (Like snapping off a tusk). Instead, make it so your character is attempting to hurt them (Like attempting to snap off a tusk). Otherwise it's a bit edging on god modding.]

Azure was happy to see that he managed to do a bit more damage to the Boarbatusk he gave himself some room to look for the girl when he heard the sound of one coming at him (Oh man I have to out the way.) he told himself as he dodged one boar and then used his Glyph to boost his Aura just enough to take the hit from boar “Oh okay time to end this game cause am getting sick of you.” He told the board he summoned more orbs and used them to make a smoke screen for himself as he got out the way of the second Boarbatusks attack. He boosted his speed again as he zig-zagged around them until he made enough momentum to create air disc that were low enough to hit their legs and underbelly’s. Azure kept using his orbs to make smoke screens to confuse them long enough for him to make air disc “I really don’t like these guys anymore.” He shouted as he did a windmill kicks to make a flurry of airwaves.

Spoiler:

Maeva was now on the ground, at the total mercy of the Boarbatusk that had thrown her to the side when it crashed towards her. She was probably going to die here as a real warrior would: on the battlefield... who am I kidding, of course that she wouldn't be killed by that pathetic excuse for bacon on legs. Sure right now she was on the ground, but the Grimm decided to go for the attack that left it the most vulnerable: any other attack than its pinwheel. not, by simply jumping at her with its tusk pointing forward, its belly was completely open from where she was if she rolled slightly towards the beast.

Wanting to get the maximum chance to kill it, Maeva put back on the Warrior's mask, her arm fusing with her chainwhip once more before she made a quick roll in the direction the boar was coming before she thrust the blade-arm toward the soft spot and rotating the weapon to drill through the blacked flesh of the creature. She would end the massive attack with a large swing downward before pulling back the weapon to her side and standing up, looking at the beast to see if it would be still standing after this.

Maeva also took the time to give a quick glance at the other student that was dealing with the two other Boarbatusks and seemed to be doing rather well all by himself. Although she would probably take her time to do so, if she had vanquished her own boar, she would go and assist the boy dressed in blue. He was a fellow Huntsman after all.

Spoiler:

[quote="Boarbatusk"]

The smoke screen did create some confusion for Boarbatusk 1 and Boarbatusk 2, but it wasn't enough to put their pinwheel movements to a halt. Both of the Boarbatusks tore right through the smokescreen. Although they each didn't know Azure's exact location, they each knew he was in the smoke screen somewhere. This smokescreen cover would provide Azure with an opening for his air disks to strike both Boarbatusk 1 and Boarbatusk 2 (-15 HP each). The attacks landed, but their damage was nullified as they each struck the outer shell of the boarbatusks as they spun in a pinwheel motion. The air discs dispersing some of the smoke screen, Boarbatusk 1 and Boarbatusk 2 got a small glimpse at Asure's location. Taking different angles of approach, Boarbatusk 1 and Boarbatusk 2 began to move at full speed at Azure, intending to run him over and tear him apart.

Boarbatusk 3 left itself open to Maeva's attack. Her lance caught it right in it's underbelly, dealing full damage (-25 HP). A quick rotation of her lance and a swift downward swipe was enough to finish off what was left of Boarbatusk 3 (-25 HP + - 25 HP).

Damage:

Important Info:

Maeva was watching from a distance, looking toward the smoke screen that the boy in blue deployed moments ago. The girl sighed though as the boy seemed to have completely forgot the fundamentals about fighting Grimms which was to avoid striking at their armor. As he seemed to be struggling with both his knowledge about his foes and those two boars in particular, the girl decided that it might have been time to join in before he would get hurt. Although he seemed pretty good at dodging attacks, maybe too good... well at least he was doing something right.

Using the small dispersion that the air discs were creating in the smoke screen to get a glance at the Boarbatusks, Maeva moved in to help by swinging her blade-whip at one of the boar's leg (Boar 1) before it began its pinwheel attack and using the blades as anchors in its flesh to pull it out of the smoke in order to deal with it personally. She would try to drag the beast as far as possible before swinging her upward to launch the boar in the air. There, she would swing at it with a pair of slashes from her blade-whip, not really able to aim at the belly in specific as the Grimm would probably spin in midair. She would then back up a little to avoid being the target of a falling boar once again.

Spoiler:

As Boarbatusk 1 and Boarbatusk 2 were solely focused on Azure, they were both completely open to Maeva. Maeva's weapon successfully wrapped around Boarbatusk's 1 leg, and pulled it out of the smokescreen with little resistance (-25 HP). Boarbatusk had no response as Maeva tossed it up in the air with her weapon, and took each slash. The first slash successful caught it across it's side, dealing full damage (-25 HP). The second attack however, struck it across the white-bone like armor that covered a majority of it's body, doing a much lesser amount of damage (-15 HP). Near death and extremely desperate, Boarbatusk 1 landed on all four of it's feet and immediately leaped at Maeva, intending to impale her with it's tusks.

Seeing what was happening to Boarbatusk 1, Boarbatusk 2 quickly tore across the beach in a large pinwheel motion, and changed it's target to Maeva. Traveling at high speeds, Boarbatusk 2 came at Maeva from the side, intending to run her over.

Damage:

Important Info:

Azure saw the boarbatusk in pinwheel mode charging at him with full speed (I have to get them to crash into something..I got it!) with that he had a plan that would kill both of them. He skated at the two boars and then used his dust to turn one of them just enough to hit the other “Step one is underway.” he said to himself as he used his glyph to boost his speed just enough to get in between them and kicked them in the middle of their pinwheel “step two is underway man this is great i wish Chace was here to see this!” he shouts as he cart wheels over to the board’s and kicks them in their back legs.

Azure calls on more orbs and sends them at the Boar’s legs again hoping to trip it up before it gets back into pinwheel motion so he charges up for one more field weep attack with his orbs. (Man this fight is taking way too long for me but at less the blue hair girl is helping out.) he thought to himself as he continues to charge up for his end all attack on the boarbatusk.

Spoiler:

Maeva giggled at the poor Boarbatusk that was near its end but still attacked her nonetheless. It wasn't too hard to know that the Grimm was a bout to die from the many marks and gashes that it was covered in. Although a lot of them were on its outer shell, which was obviously the doing of the boy in blue's poor tactic, some where well placed in the black flesh of the beast. The girl didn't have much left to do to end the Grimm's life, as when it leaped right at her, Maeva was simply pointing her arm towards its face and unleashed her blade-whip in a straight line to impale the creature through and through, not really caring to dodge as it would probably vanish before even hitting her.

Maeva then turned to see how the boy was doing, he had one less Boarbatusk to deal with so it should have been easier. She decided to do like last time and watch for now at how he fought rather than immediately joining. If things went bad, she would drag this Grimm like the previous on and end it as well. She didn't want to spend the day here after all, she had some other plans.

Spoiler:

Maeva's attack thrusted right though Boarbatusk 1 as it was midair in it's leap, suspending it off the ground (-5 HP). If that wasn't enough to finish it off, Azure's orb would have struck it in the back, quickly finishing it off.

Azure's second orb attack on Boarbatusk 2 struck it in the back, while it was still spinning, doing minimal damage (-15 HP). Seeing an opening as Maeva finished off Boarbatusk 1, Boarbatusk 2 completely ignored Azure's attack, and continued its spin wheel approach on Maeva, quickly moving across the beach back at her.

Damage:

Important Info:

Azure back flips, spins, and cartwheeled around the last boar (Finally one less to worry about!) he thinks as he uses his orbs to throw the boar off its path to Maeva “Chace am going to make you so jealous when i get back!” he shouts as he rushes up to it and throws orbs to the side of it hoping to get it to stop spinning (I have to Kill this thing before i run out of power completely.) he reminds himself as he charges his orbs up with an attack boost.

As he charges his up for his last attack the only thing he can think about is getting food after the hunt (I should probably check with blue hair and introduce myself if i don’t pass out from this.) he thinks as sweat drips from his face and onto the sandy ground. “Last time and this one better work!” he shouts sending a broaguz of orbs at the boarbatusk (I did it i killed th-them.) Azure fell to his knee as his vision starts to get blurry “Umm Miss blue hair can you help me i can’t stand up right now?” he asks with smei blank look on his face.

Damage:

Maeva had dealt with the second Boarbatusk, the one she had dragged away to help the boy garbed in blue as he was outnumbered, not by much but still. Now there was only one left and she thought that she would let him deal with it by himself. He did spent all his time dealing with two of them all along so why not let him have the last one? Although it seemed like the Grimm didn't thought the same as it began to roll towards her and ignore completely the boy. "Are you kidding me? why are they after me all of a sudden?" She sighed before taking a stance, ready for when the Grimm would be close enough. "I guess I have no choice..."

Maeva waited long enough for the boar to get close before she stabbed the ground with her blade-whip and buried her weapon before it came back up as a spike just at the moment the beast rolled above it. Hoping to send it flying, the girl immediately rolled to the side and swung her arm for an upward horizontal slash and would end with a thrust. But if the boar was too fast and that she would have missed, at least she would have avoided a head on collision.

She heard the boy asking for help, though normally she would have reacted to him calling her "blue hair" rather than by her name that she did gave him earlier, he did seem pretty exhausted. She stood up and removed her mask, causing her appearance to return to normal as she walked to him and helped him stand up. "Alright, lets get you back to the school, you did well, you deserves some rest." Maeva waved toward the airship that dropped the boy earlier to signal a pick-up before she looked back to see how the Boarbatusk was holding up... or even better, if it had vanished.

Spoiler:

Azure's orb attack struck Boarbatusk 2 in the back, dealing minimal damage as it struck the white, bone-like armor across it's back (-15 HP). It did however, struck the Boarbatusk with enough force to stop its pinwheel attack, knocking it over on it's side. This gave Maeva an opening to strike the Boarbatusk in it's exposed side (-25 HP). Then finally, the Boarbatusk was finished off in a thrust (-5 HP).

With all of the Boarbatusks defeated, they began to fade away into the wind in form of black ashes, as was the nature of all Grimm.
