Astrid's hand flew to her mouth as the beasts turned on each other, piercing and tearing flesh. As much as they needed to be stopped, nobody deserved this, and she doubted the Pokemon were even at fault for the attack on Postwick. These thugs had to have done something to them, to make them so crazed. Just in time, though, an Icy Wind from Weiss stopped their would-be fight to the death.

Overwhelmed, the terrorists retreated in a matter of seconds. Exhaling heavily, Astrid turned to Hestia and shook her head. [color=FFFF19]"I'm ok, but..."[/color] She pressed the buttons on two Pokeballs. One burst of light turned into Caelum, a Vikavolt who buzzed around as he took in the attack's aftermath. Another formed into a Magnezone, Pulsar, with several dents in their left side from where a Torracat's Flame Charge-strengthened claws had partially melted the steel many years ago. Living proof of how dangerous Pokemon could be in the wrong hands. [color=FFFF19]"Both of you, there's been an attack, please search to see if any townspeople are hurt. Eclipse, join them."[/color]

With a respective buzz and beep of acknowledgement, Caelum and Pulsar took to the air, followed by Eclipse. Fingernails digging into her palms, Astrid hoped they'd find no casualties. Enough damage had been done. [color=FFFF19]"What even were those creatures?"[/color] she muttered, wondering aloud rather than asking. [color=FFFF19]"I've never seen anything like that outside of films and TV."[/color]
