Perry hadn’t expected help to come, despite that he knew it was a possibility. It was simply one that he hadn’t planned on depending on. So when the other student dropped onto the smoking grass in front of him, he had to jerk Blast Bicell out of the way lest he impale the male. Nonetheless, he was glad for the other student’s arrival as it gave the Grimm pause and most importantly a moment of reprieve. Taking a deep breath as the creatures eyed the newest arrival, he was a bit surprised when the Faunus, given the sound being made, roared at the surrounding Grimm. Was he perhaps hoping to intimidate them, or challenge and rile them up? Perry didn’t know, nor did he really care at this moment. What was important was getting what remained of his Aura focused and using the most of the time the other student had bought. 

“Aw shit,” Perry couldn’t help but curse when the other student finally turned around and he got his first look at his timely “savior”. It was slightly depressing that he recognized the other student especially given the reason for his recognition, it was pretty hard not to take notice of the commotion at yesterday’s lunch. As far as Perry knew, the student didn’t like humans or just males given his differing reaction to the two students. Or maybe the first had just been annoying him, Perry didn’t really know, and hoped his assumptions were off the mark. Any further musing was interrupted when he was apparently labelled for use as a springboard by the other male. Grunting at the sudden impact as injuries flared up with pain, Perry stumbled backwards but remained standing as he looked up with a look of annoyance. There wasn’t much time for petty emotions though as the other student’s actions marked the resumption of battle. With their attention split between two targets though, Perry had just a bit more breathing room and that made all the difference.

He couldn’t pay too much attention to what his partner was doing, but Perry still managed to catch glimpses. A Glyph that was supplied with Dust, some form of grappling device within his gauntlets, and the resulting explosion as the Glyph’s use was revealed. Feeling the heat at his back as he backpedaled towards the smoldering corpses left by the explosion, his movements were a lot smoother now. His Aura use was much more focused and controlled now, given that with his newfound room he could actually dodge blows instead of simply allowing them to land or soaking them with his Aura. As he backflipped over the explosion site, Blast Bicell’s tip stabbed downwards in a rapid flurry and dispatched of what creatures had only been injured. Landing behind the disappearing corpses, he took advantage of the gained distance and lashed out in rapid succession before falling back. “Hey, can you apply those Glyphs to my weapon?” Having reloaded a bit of Dust during the lull he was also fairly confident in Bicell’s ability to withstand the other student’s blasts. Combined with the other student’s Semblance, Perry was pretty sure it would prove quite effective at thinning the remaining Grimm.

Planting a foot firmly on the ground, Kuhaku slowly stood. Wiping the sweat and dirt off of his brow, his looked at his wounds as his Aura slowly sealed them and he began to heal. Sighing, he wish he had more skill in using his Aura defensively rather than just for regenerative purposes. Ears perking and twitching, he heard the human call out to him. Looking up as his new partner as he dispatched and finished off the burning Grimm from his Trap Glyph, he listened up.

"Hey, can you apply those Glyphs to my weapon?"
He nodded in response. Of course he could.
Though, he was curious as to the human's plan. Exactly how did he intend on using his Trap Glyphs?

Lowering himself to the ground so that he was on all fours Kuhaku took off towards the male, his attached chains clinking loudly as he ran. Leaping over the pile of quickly fading bodies of the fallen Grimm he skidded to a stop in front of the student, kicking up a small dust cloud as he looked at his held weapon. Eyeing it, he wondered what its unique abilities were. Touching it; he pressed his thumb, index, middle, ring, and pinky finger along the length of its blade. His blood-red eyes glowed as smaller black glyphs etched themselves onto the student's lance. Flattening his palm against the blade of the lance, the Red [Fire] Dust Crystal inlaid in his gauntlets radiated its light to charge the glyphs. The engravings on his gauntlets burned brightly as he charged them. After a brief flash, the glyphs then faded away becoming barely visible.

Snapping his eyes up, he saw another group of Grimm rapidly approaching. With a slide he shot around the larger student and executed a roundhouse kick, knocking a few of them away. With a few quickly thrown jabs, he knocked a few more away. Back to back with the giant human, his mask opened with a click-click and he blasted another roar at the Grimm. Issuing another challenge to rile them up. Tired from having moved through the trees as he did and with his emotions still running high, he hoped the other student had enough energy to come up with a plan. Kuhaku was in no shape to strategize in his current position, he was out of his element fighting out in the open. He brought up his fists and settled into a fighting stance.

Grinning at the affirmative, he stabbed the lance tip first into the ground as the other student got to work on it. The Grimm didn’t seem content to simply let the two prepare unimpeded and Perry was forced to step forward into their ranks. Slamming fists and feet into black bodies, he slowed the Beowolves to a halt as he traded blows with the creatures. By now he was a great bloody mess who was certainly headed to the infirmary if he survived the rest of initiation. His clothes were resigned to the garbage, just holding together as blood wet the fabric. Claw marks marred his chest and back, shallow slashes he hadn’t managed to avoid. His arms were covered in bruises and dripped with blood, the result of numerous attacks. Every move he made with the limbs hurt, even making a fist caused pain to flare up, but Perry grit his teeth and fought on through it. It had only been a few seconds before he jumped out of the melee and back to his weapon. 

Wrapping his hand around the lance’s handle, he wrenched it from the ground as his Aura sputtered back to life, its glow faint and uneven. The blood flew from his arm as he raised his weapon, the lancehead spinning around him as the wire cut through the air with a sharp sound. Spitting blood, he caught the lead Beowolf right in the face and he smiled grimly as it roared in hatred and charged. “Get ready,” he muttered to his partner as loosed the “flail”, giving the wire slack so it reached out towards the Grimm. Catching the lead Beowolf, the force threw the beast to the side even as the wire wrapped around more of its kind, ensnaring them together like insects in a web. By the time the lancehead slammed to a halt against a Beowolf, at least half a dozen of the creatures had been wrapped together by thick metal wire. “Detonate it.”

As Kuhaku took a moment for himself to catch his breath and gather his thoughts, he was alarmed when he glanced over his shoulder to see Perry throwing himself into the fray, fighting viciously without his weapon. His eyes growing wide, ears and tail standing straight on end. As he watched with incredulity, momentarily distracted, he couldn't believe his eyes as his partner took and absorbed damage almost unflinchingly. He was most definitely more durable and sturdy than himself. He would have to take note of that, though it seemed that his partner's Aura was low and weak. They would have to either end this quickly or run away and move on.

His mask shutting closed with another mechanical click-click, he turned just in time to see a Beowolf's claws fly at him aimed straight at his throat. Bending backwards at the waist, he narrowly dodged the attack, sparks flying off of his metal face mask from its claws. Straightening himself and snarling underneath his mask, he refocused his attention. Getting back into the action, he swiftly engaged the multitudes of Grimm charging at him, letting them come to him. Skillfully blocking, evading and countering with well-timed strikes. Though not able to take damage as well as his human comrade, he was more agile and flexible. Able to dodge most of the brutish Grimm's crude attacks. Their simple movements and attacks visibly telegraphing. It was their ferocity and numbers that made them dangerous, lacking intelligence for complex strategy other than swarming tactics.

After what seemed like an eternity, but was only a few moments in reality, Kuhaku spared a glance back at his partner to see he had returned to his weapon. As he then raised his weapon in the air and swung it around, Kuhaku had to duck as the lance's head detached from the main body of the weapon still attached with a wire of some sort. Backpedaling a few steps, he returned with his back to the human, watching the spinning lance head curiously.

"Get ready." he muttered.
As the lance head then smashed into the side of a nearby Beowolf, it began to ensnare other Grimm. Gathering some number of them.
It was then that realization dawned on him. Kuhaku's red eyes glowed as he prepared to utilize his Semblance.
"Detonate it."
Smirking underneath his mask, he nodded and popped the knuckle of his thumb. Crack!

The first Glyph he placed on the lance then reappeared, brightly glowing red before shortly erupting into another billowing fireball. Its explosion not as impressive or as large as the bigger Glyph he had placed on the ground prior. He was pleased and impressed with this one's creativity. Lifting an arm so that the human could see, the band on one of his gauntlets rotated with a whir-click. Showing him that he also had Blue [Ice] and Yellow [Lightning] Dust Crystals socketed into his gauntlets. Though, they would have a different effect on his Semblance than his Red [Fire] Dust Crystal.

Touching a hidden spike in his Gauntlets with his thumb, he etched a glyph onto it. On one of his arms, the band upon which the Crystals were socketed into centered on the Blue Dust Crystal. As he charged the glyph the engravings on his gauntlet burned blue. Picking a Grimm, Kuhaku punched at it. With a gunshot BANG! his spike shot out still attached to its chain, embedding itself into the chest of the picked Beowolf though not killing it. Staring down the Grimm, he then popped the knuckle of his thumb again with a crack!. The glyph on his spike then glowed the same as the other glyphs before only with a bright-blue color as it then exploded in a cloud of white. The Grimm's movements slowing as its body slowly froze. Jerking his fist back, the winch on his lower back activated and returned the chain-spike back to its home in Kuhaku's gauntlets. Looking over his shoulder at his partner, he hoped he got the message. If not, he could demonstrate the property of his Yellow Dust Crystal. Though he could only have a total number of 5 glyphs at any given time and no more.

The blast wasn’t quite as powerful as the previous if Perry wasn’t mistaken, but between being bound and the point blank detonation the lower force hardly made a difference. As the wire unspun itself from the Beowolves’ ruined corpses he couldn’t help but smile at the satisfying recoil when the lancehead slammed back onto the handle and reattached itself. A quick survey of the clearing showed that most of the larger Grimm had slunk back towards the treelines by now, watching the two of them, wondering if they should continue the assault when so many of their youngers had perished already. “It’ll only take a bit more to break their backs,” he called out as he began to twirl Bicell around, warning the Grimm as he glanced at his partner. If the display and Dust colors was any indication, he assumed the other student could also apply an electric effect to his Glyphs. 

Granted, life would have been much easier if displays of strength were always capable of driving away the Grimm. Against these reckless younglings though, it only spurred them on as their eyes narrowed in hate at the challenger. With a deep boom, the lancehead fired out once more, sailing through the air like a missile. Slamming into the lead Grimm, it punched through the Beowolf’s chest and threw it back onto the ground. Whipping the handle to the side, he flung the attached corpse like a ragdoll, bowling over the others beside it. Wrenching his weapon free, he swung it over his shoulder so it came crashing down on the ground near his partner.

“Yellow if you can make a lasting effect. Red if it’s one-use only.”
