Clearing

Ryan stood with the other Cullens in the clearing that Jasper had chosen as their battlefield.

"Do you really believe this will work?" Carlisle asked, gesturing to the patches of blood around them.

"It will," Jasper stated. "The blood will hamper the Newborns' judgement, which will allow us more openings. However, do not underestimate them. Doing so will end with you dead."

Ryan nodded. "Gotcha."

Alice froze. "They're here," she stated. "They just reached the shore."

Ryan's eyes narrowed, and he popped his claws. "They're closing in fast." He sent out a hunting pulse, identifying roughly forty Newborns. "Lots of them."

His senses flared, and the first of the Newborns breached the tree line.

Ryan led the charge, the other Cullens following close behind him.

Slamming the first one into the air, Ryan cut it in half before spinning around, bisecting another with a Blade.

Around him, the rest of the Cullens slammed into the Newborns, tearing them apart.

Ducking under a Newborn's grasp, Alice threw it to the ground, kicking its head off in the process. Another jumped at her from behind, only to get smashed apart by a Whipfist.

Retracting the Whipfist, Ryan smashed a heavyset Newborn with a Hammerfist before lashing out with another Whipfist, wiping out five of the Newborns. "Now!" he shouted.

From over the boulder, the wolves jumped in, pouncing on the Newborns and tearing them apart.

Carlisle ducked underneath a Newborn's swing and kicked it toward Esme, who swept the Newborn's legs out from under it. Grabbing it by the shoulders, Carlisle threw it to the ground before tossing it into the air, where one of the Werewolves caught it, ripping it apart.

Jacob suddenly dashed into the clearing, knocking away a Newborn as he did so.

"Glad you could join the fight," Ryan called, punching a Newborn through the heart before picking up its body and throwing it into two more.

Giving him a nod, Jacob pivoted, grabbed a Newborn by the throat, and tore off its head.

Headbutting a Newborn, Emmet ducked as a Werewolf leaped over him, snatching a Newborn that was about to attack Emmet from behind and tearing it apart with his teeth.

Jasper clotheslined a Newborn and slammed it to the ground. Ducking another's swing, he slammed a third in the chest, breaking its body apart.

Ducking another Newborn, Jasper pushed it to the side, where Ryan impaled it with a Blade.

Nodding at Jasper, Ryan turned and saw Alice leap over a werewolf, who tackled a Newborn to the ground.

Seeing one of the Newborns lunging at Paul, Ryan lashed out with his Whipfist, nailing the Newborn through the shoulder. "Get over here!" Yanking the Newborn toward him, Ryan split it in half with his Blade.

Flipping over another werewolf, Jasper tackled a Newborn that was about to pounce on it from behind and ripped off its head.

Esme dodged a Newborn's swing, grabbed it, and pinned it down. Taking advantage, Carlisle slammed off its head with a palm strike.
