As it appeared that most of the students landed safely, they were not out of the woods yet. The crash landing alerted the Grimm to their general location, though at this hour the only ones active were Beowolves and Ursas. Nothing the students couldn't handle on their own, but it may prove difficult if they arrive in hordes, as they usually do. Nonetheless. there was still enough time for the students to find their partners and form a team before they would even see their first Grimm. Hopefully. In the distance, Laputa broke through the clouds and was slowly making it's way towards a mountain; that would be the student's most opportune chance to reach the floating island, if they could cross the 100 meter gap between the mountain's top and the bottom of the island.

Annabeth could already see some students tearing through the canopy and landing with grace and flair. Annabeth's own landing lacked such showmanship, and instead she simply used the metal sheet she was surfing on to tank most of the blows from the tree branches, and once it was knocked out from under her feet she simply jumped onto a nearby branch with a solid thud. Her legs where shaking a bit, but otherwise she made it alive. She dusted herself off for a moment and check her surroundings, only to hear something in the air. A buzzing noise. She turned just soon enough to see and dodge Malakaus, who for some reason or another pointed his own weapon at her. What he was doing was shooting towards the ground and using the recoil brought from firing the Scarlet Devil to ease his decent, even if he did cut down a few trees and students while doing so. He landed on the same branch as Annabeth did, but brought it down under the weight of his body and the previous gunfire. Together he and Annabeth fell towards the ground, and Annabeth had this to say about the situation. [b]"Shit!"[/b]

They did land no worse for wear however, though Annabeth was rather peeved at Malakaus's recklessness. In responds to all of this, all he did was reload.[b]"So, yer are ter be me partner than?"[/b] The fauna asked. Annabeth could hardly believe her luck, that she'd get him of all people. She tried to think of the bright side of this situation, which mostly amounted to seeing him cut a bloody swath in the general direction of where they needed to go. At least he was good at killing. Hopefully he was good at following orders too. [b]"Yeah. Annabeth Gulch. Let's not waste too much time here. I think I saw some more people fall in that direction. Just keep your eyes and ear open and shut up, and we'll do fine."[/b] The fauna scowled at the red-haired human. He already didn't like her, but the feeling was mutual. [b]"Malakaus. Yer better not git us killed. Well, yerself mostly."[/b]

Lisette was somewhat disappointing that she couldn't catch all her pocky, but she had other problems to deal with. Like landing. Just a hundred feet above the tree line and the best idea she could think of to survive would be to fling her Spiral Edge's towards a tree truck and just wind her way down. But that sounded rather... Mundane. Instead however, she caught a glimpse of something silver fly past her. Instinctively she threw the Spiral Edge towards it, wrapping itself around the silver figure. Good news was that Lisette found her way down. Bad news was that Yexus was not expecting someone to drag him into the forest. He fought against the sudden force, which was good as it allowed Lisette to slowly land onto a tree. Yexus landed on the same tree and tried to get the yoyo off of him, but Lisette took care of it herself. [b]"Thanks for the ride dude."[/b] Yexus turned to the girl. his mask hid that his face was giving her a nasty glare, but he brushed it off. He supposed that he shouldn't take it too personally that someone would want to try to catch Yexus to help them survive the fall. He was flying through the sky. He just wished the girl didn't do it in such a way that would have killed him. [b]"Yexus. And you?"[/b] Taking out a can of soda Lisette popped the lid and took a sip. [b]"Lisette Toymaker. Nice to meet cha. I guess this means we're partners, eh?"[/b] Yexus nodded before looking towards the sky. He could see Laputa now. Getting there shouldn't be hard for him, and assuming that Lisette doesn't try to hang onto him with her yoyos, he could probably carry her there. [b]"That's right. I can see the island now. Let's find another pair of partners and get our team together. With any luck we may be the first to arrive."[/b]
