Reading Unfolding Fates

Unfolding Fates C1, E4

The group reached the cliff, where the Nevermore was circling, waiting their arrival. The group split up to hide behind pillars of stone. Shadow turned to Weiss to tell her his plan.

Shadow: If we're going to get up that cliff, that Nevermore has to die. We have to find a way to hold it in place though.

Weiss: What about the Deathstalker? You know that thing won't stay there forever.

As Weiss said that, the Deathstalker came through the forest. Knocking down trees and running towards the group.

Joker: you just had to say that

Weiss: sorry

Shadow: *irritated* Come on right now! You have to be kidding me!

Jaune: Aw Crap! Run!

The group started sprinting towards the cliff, making the Nevermore notice them and screeches before beginning it's decent.

Ren: Nora! Distract it!

Nora ran out into the open, her hammer in hand has the Nevermore shot it's Hundred Feather Arrows at Nora. She dodges them and makes her hammer a grenade launcher, shooting the Nevermore to allow the others to make their run.She is unaware of the Death Stalker rushing up behind her until Blake and Ren perform a cross-slash with their Gambol Shroud and StormFlower against its shell. Weiss lands next to Nora so she can create a jumping platform beneath them and leap to safety while Blake and Ren are now being chased.

Pyrrha: Go, go! *stops running beside Jaune and gets out Miló, firing red shots alongside Ren's green blasts for a second until it reaches them and tries to swipe, prompting the group to run again*

The eight race over the ancient stone bridge, not noticing the Nevermore closing in on them until it uses its giant wings to shatter the path right in the middle, forcing Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Nora, and Jaune closer to the central collection of columns and leaving Blake, Ren, and Pyrrha on the other side with the Death Stalker. Ruby fires at the retreating Nevermore while Blake is beaten back by the scorpion.

Jaune: *coming to the edge of the break in the bridge* Man, we gotta get over there! They need help!

Nora: *running up beside him* Let's do this!

Jaune: *looks down at the misty abyss* Yeah, but, uh... I can't make that jump.

Nora smiles diabolically at him, laughing as she knocks him back, turns her weapon to its full-length hammer form, and jumps to the edge of the bridge.

Jaune: *seeing what she's about to do* "Oh, wait!" *too late, she slams the hammer into the bridge and throws Jaune to the other side, yelling* No, no, no!

Noir: she's insane

Mona: and that's coming from the person that gets excited after killing her enemies

several people get out of their seats and move several rows back/forward, away from the two

Nora places one foot on the hammer and fires it off the collapsing section of bridge, launching her to slam its face right in the center of the Death Stalker's skull. She fires it just as the stinger comes down to get her, and blasts back again to avoid its reach, accidentally knocking into Blake and making her fall from the edge.

Shadow: Blake! *Runs to the gap and looks down* Wait, What?!

Shadow watches as Blake uses her weapon as a grappling hook to pull her self up, landing on the Nevermore, and attack the Nevermore with her blades, before jumping off and landing with Ruby, Weiss, and Yang. Shadow soon catches up to them, ready for battle.
