"IT'S THE VALE SPECTER!" One of the gangsters screams, as he immediately opens fire on Grau. Scarlett leaps in and shoots the gun out of the gangster's hand. Before slicing him up the middle and heel kicking him through the window. Grau blocks some gunfire with his shield, redirecting many of the bullets back toward some of the gunmen. He sprints forward and slashes through the stomach of one gangster, he blocks the gunshot of another, and the bullets ricochet from his shield and into the bodies of many other gangsters before Grau hurls said shield into the knee of the second one, breaking it and forcing it to bend the wrong way. The gray huntsman leaps forward, slashing a bloody red X into the chest of another gangster.

Scarlett slides under an attack from a White Fang militant, before leaping up and cleaving the warrior's arm off and immediately stabbing another through the chest, killing her instantly. She yanks the weapon back and slams it into the nose of a charging militant before leaping into the air, the blade glows purple and she throws it to her side, sending a large wave of purple electric energy toward a charging army of White Fang militants.

"You sure we needed backup for this?" Scarlett asks, before blocking a strike from a sword wielding militant. Grau wordlessly slashes through three gangsters before dodging a massive green fist slamming into the ground.

"Roman always brings backup!" Grau shouts, before drawing his pistol and unloading the mag into the faunus's face, however the bullets smash against the faunus's scaly flesh, and fall to the floor. He smirks and bares his fangs.

"I always wanted t' take a bite outta the Vale Specter..." He says with a deep and guttural voice, he laughs sadistically as he charges forward on all fours. Grau rolls out of the way of the charge and continues shooting at the gargantuan crocodile. Scarlett huffs to herself and presses a button on her scroll, before ducking under a group of throwing knives aimed at neck. She looks up to see Aspen, charging toward her. Unlike Grau, Scarlett didn't get the chance to dodge before Aspen slams her through one of the metal walls, and the two immediately get into a fight, with the eagle faunus relentlessly aiming for Scarlett's neck.

Dez pulls himself up from the floor, hands pressed to the back of his ears before falling back, muttering to himself.

"Six sixty-two, Six sixty-three, Six sixty fou-" he cuts himself off as he feels his scroll vibrate in his pocket. He slaps his hands over his thighs, instinctually checking what pocket his scroll is in. He pulls the tiny device out before reading the message and is confused to see that it is from Scarlett.

"G and I jumped @ docks. Need backup. Bring Olive." Dez's brow furrows, why the hell was Scarlett at the docks at... 3:30 am? Dez then looks around the empty gym he was in and takes a breath, realizing he has no right to judge. He pushes himself off the ground and throws his towel over his shoulder, walking to the dorm room to get Olive and go to the docks.

Scarlett leaps from shipping container to shipping container, dodging large blades from her flying adversary. Once she lands on some solid ground she transforms her naginata into a sniper rifle. She spins on her knees and aims at Aspen as he soars through the air, but he's just too fast. She can't keep up with him as he soars through the sky. Just as she finally gets a lock on him, she sees a knife flying toward her, and she flips backward trying to avoid getting hit.

Grau was on the floor backflipping out of the way of the gargantuan crocodile faunus. Eventually, he's finally able to get a hit off the cloaked warrior, a backhand smashing him into a shipping container. Grau groans and feels his stomach as his orange aura flickers, he looks up and sees a container still suspended in the air by a crane. Grau draws his pistol and aims at the wires, hitting the hook that was holding the container up.

"MISSED ME!!" The croc growls, before crawling on all fours toward Grau, he leaps toward the gray huntsman, before the massive shipping container smashes over the crocodile's head. Grau knew it wouldn't kill him, but it'd at least keep him at bay. He pulls himself out from the dented container, immediately falling to a kneel and holding his ribs, the adrenaline finally runs out. He reaches into his belt and stabs a painkiller stim into his thigh. Almost immediately the pain goes away.
