Everything had happened so fast that Clementine barely had time to react. Feeling her gut drop as the cabin began to fall rapidly through the air, the heavy beating of her heart pounded in her ear as her reflexes took over instinctively. Trying to reach out to grab anything to stabilize herself, the cabin barreled over, and a loud grunt came from the hunters lips as her feet hit the ceiling above, catching herself before she lost balance. A number of exits began to appear around the cabin before her as she watched other Hunters, including Yu, escape. Watching the pink haired Faunus, hop out from a hole along the collapsed floor, the hunters eyes locked on the exit as as went into a squat and jumped out. Timing her exit as the Cabin rolled, and faced the ground below, the brunette fell through open air now.

Adrenaline, and excitement took over the girl as she made her descent. Wind rushed past her ears in a roar, as her long, thick braids whipped wildly behind her. A wide grin sat along Clementine’s lips as her brown orbs took in the Emerald Forest below her. Now that the anticipation was over, and she was forced into action, all of the lingering anxiety, and second-thoughts were swept away now that her second nature, and training finally kicked in.

With the ground quickly coming closer, Clementine repositioned herself within the air until her feet were aimed towards the ground. A little less then twenty feet was separating her and the clearing below, so with haste she drew Yggdrasil from it’s sheath and twisted the sword in her hand so that the edge was facing the ground. Clasping both hands along the grip, Clem raised it above her head as a heavy warmth flooded her chest and she made impact, her semblance was activated. The edge of Yggdrasil sunk into the ground before her body made contact, and as the warmth ran down from her chest, through her hands, and into the sword, the earth beneath her feet turned soft, cushioning her weight as she landed. Taking the aftershock of her fall, the clearing surrounding Clementine cracked, and in a heavy explosion, sent debris and smoke pluming into the air.

Rumbling through the forest for a brief second the impact shook the ground, leaving smoke and dirt hanging in the air. Waving her hand in front of her face in an attempt to clear the cloud of dust, and dirt around her, a loud fit of coughs slipped out of the Hunter as she sat crouched on one knee in the center of the depression. Spiting out some dirt that somehow ended up in her mouth, Clem wiped her sleeve over her mouth before carefully standing and taking in her surroundings. Grasping the handle of the weapon, the material of her glove rumpled as she gave the grip a light tug, drawing the broad sword from the ground. “[b]Well that went better then I expected.[/b]” Swinging Yggdrasil to the side, dust and dirt that clung to the steel was thrown off before she smoothed a hand over the flat side of the blade, wiping off the rest of the dirt and sheathing the weapon in it’s black scaled scabbard.

Tall oaks surrounded her position as a thicket of bushes and grass circled the clearing. The heavy smell of decomposing leaves, and fresh air filled her nostrils as a shiver of excitement ran down her spine. The Emerald Forest was all around her now, and so was the enemy. Grimm were crawling all over the place, and as she played back the announcement she, and the rest of the students on board the airship had been given, her brown orbs narrowed tensely. There was no doubt in her mind that anything within a two mile radius of her location had heard, or at least seen the explosion, so rather then being a sitting duck Clem got on the move. This was her time to prove herself, and standing around waiting for something to happen wasn't going to prove her worth as a Hunter. 

Stepping carefully over the broken gravel, and rocks beneath her feet, she took off in a quick jog once she was out of the crater and on even ground. Far off from her location Laputa floated above the forest, appearing no bigger then her hand as she ran amongst the forest floor, the Island already held a tense atmosphere around it that made the girls stomach flutter. Unsure if it was excitement, or her gut telling her something was fishy, the brunette focused ahead and began to pick up pace, turning her quick jog into a full on sprint. ‘[i]Gotta find a partner first.[/i]’ She reminded herself. Needing to complete her first task before she could take on the ominous Island above, the Knight kept a cautious eye out for enemies, and any survivors from the airship as she made her way towards Laputa.
