If only Ozpin had given them the students map of the forest before throwing them in there. As it stood now, Cobalt had no idea whether he was getting closer to the ruins or just aimlessly walking in circles. Perhaps that was sort of the point, to stimulate a real combat situation where one might not have any idea where they were, but dammit, in Cobalt's eyes, it was pretty much pointless difficulty. All he really knew was that the sun was above him, and that did fuck all to help him out. 

Dredging through the thick brush of the forest, Cobalt stopped suddenly as he spotted a Beowolf pack just ahead of him. Cobalt readied his axe, preparing to strike down the Grimm just in case they spotted him. But before he could make a move, the Beowulf became aware of something else on one of the open paths, and diverted all of their attention to whoever had stepped onto their territory. The sounds of fighting became apparent, along with the fact that there was another student in the vicinity. 

Cobalt peeked out from his hiding spot, trying to get a good look at the student facing down the Beowulf pack. The student was a human female with a massive blade/machine gun. Good. If she was a Faunus, Cobalt would have probably left her to face the pack alone, combat prowess be damned. He wasn't about to team up with Faunus anytime soon, no matter how good one was.

Gripping the Redeemer in it's shotgun form, he fired buckshot into two Beowolves that had attempted to flank the female student. [color=0076a3]"The cavalry has arrived!"[/color]
