'Soo....' Jie said, turning her head towards Gram's 'Any idea where we're going? and what we're getting?' She asked. It was true, Jie had no clue where to go, and was hoping that Gram did know where to go and what do get.' She awaited for Gram's response, but couldn't help but thinking: 'Where is Gertrude? and how is she doing?' these questions zoomed through her head as she awaited for Gram's response to her question.
"Hmm..."
Gram stopped walking a placed a hand to his chin, looking up to the sky in thought. Where exactly were they to be heading, and what were they even getting in the first place? Perhaps they'd be getting sandwiches. Though that was probably a stupid idea, and mostly just Gram's stomach thinking. Who would use sandwich gathering as a means to initiate students anyway? Really, he was sure there'd be something super symbolic of their roles in society. Like chess pieces or something.
"Well I dunno about what we're getting, but these trees are getting in the way of us seeing anything, huh?" Gram remarked, before sticking a finger up, "I do know that we shouldn't be heading backwards. I, err, tried that last time. Went in a b~i~g circle. Wasn't very fun." He registered a lot of crashing off into the distance.
"Think that's it? That's probably it. Onwards we go, my companion!"
And so he went.

Isaac could hardly believe what had happened, one moment his partner had mentioned seeing the massive serpent, and the next she was once more airborne with the beast at her heels. Isaac raced through the forest, hoping that he wouldn't have to explain to the headmaster how his partner ended up in the belly of a grimm. As Isaac entered the ruins, he caught sight of his -thankfully alive- partner, the boy whom he'd been talking to earlier, and a few other people, though he hardly had the time to remember their faces and names given the fact that the King Taijitu didn't appear to be done quite yet. "Aw hell...here we go Fría." Isaac muttered as he pulled his goggles from his head and tossed them to the side before cracking his neck loudly and letting loose a feral battle cry at the grimm. Isaac charged forward, sliding under and imbedding his weapon in the serpent's tail as it lashed about. The Taijitu didn't take too kindly to that at all, as evidenced by the loud hissing and wild thrashing as Isaac's weapon bit deeply. Isaac was finally dislodged and swatted away, though not without leaving a nasty frozen wound on the Taijitu's tail."Ok...ow..." He muttered as he rose to his feet and wobbled a bit, "Atlanta, you alright?" he asked as he fought to get his bearings.
"Lovely. I mean, I just got slingshotted into the air like a majestic dove by a giant fucking snake with two heads, but all in a day's work, right?" the orange-clad huntress deadpanned, giving out a sigh that caused her bangs to momentarily float upwards. Apparently being compact wasn't much of an advantage when it came to getting your ass launched into the air. She registered the Taijitu in her peripheral vision going in to skewer her and Isaac, so she casually lifted her arms and fired of her lines again, this time at one of the ruins' pillars, and slingshotted herself into the air. Intentionally this time.
In the air, she angled her body down and fired her grapnel at the Taijitu's white head, pulling her towards it. She skated along the serpentine road, leaving somewhat shallow cuts (well, shallow for a giant snake) from her bladed skates in her wake, before reaching the other side. She then proceeded to rodeo-ride the fidgeting snake, doing her best to remain anchored, before the other head got smart enough and when to eat the gnat on it's other head. Naturally, Atalanta bailed and directed herself towards Isaac and friend's boyfriend.
