The Soul Forged Hunter

[V1E10]Come & Get It

Picking up where we left off... Y/n, Pyrrha, Nora, and Ren stared down the Death Stalker. The beast had them pinned between it and the endless abyss found behind them on the ruined bridge. "Alright. Alright alright alright," Y/n started to hype himself up as he pulled out his scroll, "Come and get it." The teen put his scroll away as he then popped his ear buds in.

"The hell are you doing," Ren asked as Pyrrha rushed forward to meet the scorpion head on.

"Playing music. I usually listen to music while I fight," Armeria replied.

"Tha--"

Pyrrha shouted as she blocked a pincer snap, "Guys! Not the time for that!"

"Right! Sorry Spartacus," Y/n shouted as he shot forth with his own shield to block the other pincer. "Zen deal with its legs and eyes! Flash? No. Raijin! Break its stinger! Spartacus me and you will pull aggro while they DPS! Any questions," He asked as he bashed the pincer away and stabbed at it with a spear.

"Yeah wh--"

"None at all! Let's squash this bug," Nora shouted over Ren with excitement as she launched forth and bashed the stinger to the side. She then launches herself away as it tries to retaliate with a swing of the tail.

Ren huffed as he brandished his bladed machine pistols and fired at the eyes of the creature as it is pushed back and away from the shattered bridge and into the clearing just before it. The creature chittered in annoyance as it's attention turned to Ren. Only for Y/n and Pyrrha to remind it of their existence as they stab into the pincers. It's attention returns to them as its pincers snapped forth, only to be blocked by a pair of shields. Y/n's own shield suddenly sprouting dozens of blades stabbing at the pincer, though doing nothing to the boney chitin aside from annoying it.

It's tail pulled back and lunged forth at Y/n, only to be knocked off course as it's bombarded by the vibrant pink grenades of Nora's grenade launcher. The creature screeched in pain as it threw its pincers outwards with enough force to knock Y/n and Pyrrha back long enough for it to make a beeline for Nora. The girl grinned wildly as the Scorpion found itself tilting with a pained screech as Ren used the opportunity to separate half the legs on its left from the rest of its body. It swatted Ren away with its stinger, sending the boy flying into the tree line with a pained grunt as his aura flared up.

Nora's cheeky smile dropped as she charged forth towards the Death Stalker. The beast attempted to intercept her with its pincers but only ended up meeting Y/n and Pyrrha as they once more stopped the creature. Pyrrha pierced its chitin with her javelin as she lodged it into the left pincer, disabling it. While Y/n struck it with a drill that he used to dig into the pincer and launch a fan of blades from the tip of the drill that cut the pincer off from inside the beast. Nora's attack was successful as she once more bashed at the stinger, rocking the creature violently. In a last ditch effort to protect it's life, the moment Nora landed it used what strength it could muster to lunge its stinger at the girl. Her eyes widened as she failed to neutralize the thing as she threw up her hammer to block the attack as she was poked with enough force to dig her into the ground. It continued the assault as it tried to follow it up, only for Y/n to jump in between the two and block it with an aura shield construct. Unfortunately it wasn't up to snuff against the strength of the Grimm's desperate bid for life. The shield shattering and allowing the pincer to strike Y/n's chest.

Both him and Nora being flung back by the attack. "Y/N," Pyrrha shouted as she threw her shield at the beast to garner its attention but it refused to ignore easy prey as it began slowly scuttling towards the two knocked down teenagers.
