ROOOAAARRR

Y/N's attention was broken when he heard the roar of a Grimm not too far from him. Y/N closes his eyes and starts to concentrate... pinning the exact location of the Grimm.

Suddenly, his eyes fly open and starts dashing from rooftop to rooftop towards the Grimm. Upon arriving at the scene, he stops himself and lands in a nearby tower.

"What a great view..." Y/N mutters out. Looking down from the tower, he sees a Nuckelavee being confront by Team RNJR. "I guess I should watch for a bit." He tells himself and sits down, dangling his legs over he edge.

"Oh...! This might also be the chance to use Mistress's gift." He realizes and holds his hands up. Noticing that Team RNJR was running circles around the Grimm, Y/N's face hardens in concentration.

The Nuckelavee suddenly stops, before swinging its arm in a sweeping motion, catching Team RNJR off guard. All four huntresses and huntsman scuttle across the ground.

Then, the Grimm slowly trots towards Ruby. Before it can reach her, Jaune managed to get up and slice at the Grimm's hind leg. The Nuckelavee screeches in pain and kicks Jaune.

Jaune regroups with Ruby after landing a strike. Distracting Ruby, Jaune sheaths his sword. "What are you doing?" Ruby asks him. Then, he draws his sword again, but this time, using his upgraded Crocea Mors.

Jaune doesn't answer her and charges at the Nuckelavee again. "Ooh... that looks fancy." Y/N complimented, before curling his hands. Jauen was able to land a few strikes on the Nuckelavee, before dodging another swipe from the Grimm.

The four then decides to advance towards the Grimm. "Ooh... that's a bad idea." Y/N comments as the Nuckelavee extends its arms and sweep Team RNJR off their feet again.

The Nuckelavee's backbones extend outwards and lets out another screech, almost making everyone there in the area go deaf. Ren runs up a tree and shoots the Grimm from there.

The Nuckelavee turns to him and pins him into a nearby building. Seeing the action, Nora turns to Ruby. "Ruby!" Nora calls out to her. Knowing what she means, Ruby nods, and she uses Crescent Rose to launch Nora in between Ren and the Nuckelavee's incoming attack.

"Seriously..." Y/N mutters in disbelief seeing the Nuckelavee not landing a successful hit on Ren, but instead, pinning Nora's hammer instead. Not having it, the Nuckelavee flings Nora across the ground before letting go of her.

Nora groans upon impact. Her aura depleted. Enraged, Ren uses StormFlower to give himself leverage to pull the Nuckelavee hand off of him. Seeing that his attempt wasn't working, he sticks his weapon into the Grimm's wrist and starts shoot at it.

Jaune comes in and slices at the Grimm's hind legs. The Nuckelavee screeches in pain and lets go of Ren. Landing onto concrete ground, he rolls onto his feet and dashes towards the Grimm.

The Nuckelavee attempts to grab him again, but was proved unsuccessful when Ren deflects it. Blinded by his actions, another hand swipes at him. Ren skids across the ground, but catches himself, before running towards the Grimm again.

"Ren! Knock it off!" Jaune shouts towards Ren. "You should listen to him, buddy... or this'll happen..." Y/N lets out when one of the Nuckelavee's arms grabbed onto Ren's ankle swinging him across, before throwing him onto the ground.

Having being rid of his weapons, he lands next to Nora as his aura was, also, depleted. Seeing the chance, the Nuckelavee charges towards both Ren and Nora. But was stopped when Jaune jumps in to stop its advances. Ruby continued to shoot at it.
