3rd Person POV

All four members of JNPR charge forward, but only three fighters from BRNZ do the same; the beanie-wearing May Zedong turns around and heads into the trees, cocking her weapon. In the center of the field, leader Brawnz Ni delivered a knee kick to Pyrrha's shield that sends her skidding back, right before she blocks the claws on his fists. She jerked her sword away and made him leap back, just as the sniper jumped up into the branches of the forest with the bladed butt of her sniper rifle. Ren readied his StormFlower to attack Nolan Porfirio, who almost gets blindsided by Nora's swing with Magnhild before he ducked under the attack and attempted to hit her with his cattle prod. The sniper girl finally took aim from her spot and managed to fire off two rounds near Ren, destroying the rocks behind him. Jaune managed to block the buzzsaw gloves of Roy Stallion with his own shield before he noticed the bullets flying and sees the glint of the gun in the leaves. Wide-eyed and stumbling over his order, Jaune said, "R-R-Retreat!" Ren glanced back at his leader as a shot hit the ground by his feet. He and Nora started running back into the mountains as Jaune and Pyrrha covered their escape by blocking the bullets with their shields. The four leapt over a rocky outcropping for cover. Pyrrha turned to Jaune as projectiles keep coming overhead, and said, "What do we do?" Looking over the edge to see the melee fighters closing in, Jaune said, "Spread out! Try to keep moving!" His team followed this just as Brawnz landed a punch on Jaune's shield. May gets even higher in the tree and smiles from behind her scope as she looks at the fight below. Brawnz and Pyrrha continue to duke it out while Nolan slowly advances on Ren when he slides into his path. The prod-wielding warrior looks back at the trees and nods to his hidden ally, who shoots at Ren's feet again and makes him jump around trying to dodge them. Just as he lands, Nolan hits him upside the head with his weapon and is able to easily dodge the retaliatory kick while landing another blow to Ren's knee and a final hit to the chest using the business end of his prod. Electricity shoots through Ren's body before he collapses to the ground beside his childhood friend, who said, "Ren!" Scowling, Nora took a swing at Nolan, who promptly dodged it and again unleashed his weapon's power into her corset, though this caused a quite different reaction from the grinning redhead. Speaking from his spot on the giant hologram screen overhead with beside him, Port said, "Oh-ho! Looks like one of my favorite students, Nora Valkyrie, is charging up to use her Semblance!" Looking up at the screen with a panicked look, Nolan said, "What?"

Oobleck continued, "Yes, Ms. Valkyrie's Semblance lets her produce, as well as channel, electrical energy straight to her muscles! This allows her to jump explosively into the air, wield her mighty hammer, or in this case, absorb Nolan's attacks and send the young man flying!" Turning back to his opponent, Nolan said, "What?!" Nolan finally took his cattle prod away, but the damage is done as Nora flexes her arms as pink lightning is seen coursing through her body. Nolan attempts to lift his hands up in surrender, but thunder starts sparking from Nora's Aura as she rushes at him. The hammer hits him head-on and Nolan is bounced back across the field, crashing through a rock and staying there when he's stopped moving. Jaune looked back at the mountaintop on his team's side as a dark storm cloud appeared over it, crackling with lightning. He looked over at his energized teammate and said, "Nora! Get to the mountain!" Saluting, Nora said, "You got it!" Jaune then said, "Ren! Try and distract the sniper!" As another shot nearly missed his head, he slouched and  sarcastically replied, "Sure... Why not." The remaining three members of JNPR run forward as Nora hopped up and rapidly ascended the mountain. Roy threw the saws from his gloves into Jaune's shield, which still managed to bend the metal and slammed the leader's own defense in his face before the weapons return back to their master. Pyrrha gets up close to him, and he delivered a series of spinning swings with his arms into Akoúo̱ as Jaune shook off his disorientation and charged into battle yet again.
