A beowolf Grimm stalked across an open field with the rest of its pack as the sun shined down upon them in the clear blue sky above. This beowolf came to a halt to look up to a flock of small nevermores flying overhead, its glowing red eyes staring at its winged Grimm brethren as they passed. Without warning a spear-kunai on a metal chain flew out of the forest off to the Grimm's left and went straight through its cheek.
"Grrraaaarrr!" Its roar was filled with shock and pain. The Grimm was then yanked into the tree line and disappeared into the bushes. Its fellow beowolves quickly turned to see what was going on, to the sounds of the commotion. An alpha beowolf stepped forward and growled as it watched its now dead pack member fly out of the tree line, its corpse tumbling to a halt just at the alpha's feet. What seemed to be the wind struck the alpha and within the blink of an eye the beast fell apart: having been sliced into several pieces. The alpha's remains crashed onto the ground and Akiko appeared with her back to the pack, stood upon a rock behind them with her two wakizashis in hand. The wakizashi in Akiko's right hand had its hilt wrapped in black leather with its handguard being silver, this blade was known as Kokutan and its scabbard, which was black with silver decals, was on Akiko's lower back. The wakizashi in Akiko's left hand had its hilt wrapped in white leather with its handguard being golden, this blade was known as Aiborī and its scabbard, black with gold decals, was on Akiko's right shoulder blade. Akiko turned around and twirled her wakizashis around before returning them to their respective scabbards. The Grimm turned around to face Akiko, who proceeded to give them a wink and finger-guns with a smirk.
"No more stronger than the usual, average mook..." Hanako stepped out of the forest as the Grimm turned their backs to it, reeling her spear-kunai back in before it disappeared into her hammerspace after erupting into flames. "But still, variety is nice and this is still sure to be an interesting experience." Hanako wrapped her right hand around the hilt of the katana holstered on her back, its hilt wrapped in yellow leather with an ornate silver handguard. Seijitsu dropped down from the tree next to Hanako and twirled her jian, its hilt painted purple and its handguard in the shape of a butterfly, around with a smile as she hummed to herself. Impa walked past the both of them with her tattered crimson shroud flowing behind her in the wind as she rested her weapon over her right shoulder. It was a huge, one-sided broadsword, approximately 7 feet long from hilt to tip, with its hilt wrapped in red leather and its handguard painted gold. Impa stopped just behind the Grimm and the beowolf pack slowly turned around to face the Fire Oni as she let the tip of her broadsword touch the ground, holding the hilt with just her right hand. Impa smirked, revealing one of her fangs.
"My Breaker Blade has gotten rather dull..." She spoke to the Grimm. "However, it's three times as thick and does three times the damage of a normal sword. You'd better pray you die quickly, or this could be painful."
"She's lying!" Seijitsu chipped in from behind Impa. Impa shot her an unamused look. "Her sword is fine, she takes good care of it." Seijitsu continued. "She's just trying to sound cool." Hanako facepalmed. Impa frowned. "What?" Seijitsu looked back and forth between Hanako and Impa. "Oh... sorry." Impa sighed.
"LEEEROY..." Ravage came rushing down a hill off to the north, surfing on an ursa into the pack. "JENKINS!" He jumped off the ursa and let it crash into two beowolves, drawing his katana from its scabbard mid-flight.
"You heard him, girls!" Akiko jumped off of the rock. "Let's see who can get the most by the end of this!" She drew her swords and rushed into the Grimm pack. Hanako and Seijitsu rushed past Impa, who promptly dashed after them: following her friends into battle. Hanako launched a beowolf into the air with a rising slice, following up with several quick swings of her katana as Akiko leapt up and flew past her right, charging up a blue energy sphere inbetween her hands. Akiko and Hanako exchanged nods before Akiko passed. Underneath Hanako, Seijitsu dashed between several beowolves, slicing through each one before elbowing the last one in front of her, cutting off its wind, before using a palm thrust to send it flying into a distant tree. Just then Impa cut through one beowolf that had pounced at Seijitsu from behind, her broadsword cutting through its torso with ease as she dashed underneath it, spinning forward and slicing through a couple more of the Grimm effortlessly before obliterateing the last beowolf in her sight with an attack that went through its left shoulder to its right hip. The beowolf falling apart as Impa skidded to a halt behind it. Hanako landed back on the ground and summoned two spear-kunais, the chained weapons appearing from flames around her arms, which she then proceeded to swing around herself: cutting through all of the beowolves surrounding her. Akiko rushed out of the smoke created from the destruction her Ki attack made and slid underneath a beowolf, punching it in the groin in the process, before jumping onto its shoulders and stabbing both her wakizashis into its neck. Akiko proceeded to slice off the Grimm's head and then immediately backflipped off of it and struck another beowolf with several spinning kicks, which cracked its neck and broke its jaw, in mid-air before landing, rolling forward and unleashing a rising uppercut on its brethren behind it. Ravage meanwhile juggled an alpha beowolf in mid-air with his summoned swords, the spectral katanas striking it from every angle, before he reappeared behind the Grimm and used a dimensional cut to slice it up into several pieces. Ravage landed back on the ground and resheathed his katana in front of his face as the Grimm remains crashed down behind the kitsune. He ran his left hand through his head-fur and chuckled before rushing off into the dwindling beowolf pack. A king taijitu Grimm burst out of the forest and slithered quickly towards the group. Ravage and the others looked towards it as it made straight for them. Impa jumped up and then swung her giant sword downwards, cutting a beowolf in her way straight down the middle, before she broke into a sprint towards the large snake Grimm that had appeared before her and the others, her crimson eyes glowing briefly as she ran forward to fight the thing.
"Hey, I want a shot at it as well!" Akiko called out to her friend, having just sent a beowolf flying with a flick to the forehead after chopping its legs off.
Raine looked down upon an entire army of knights, accompanied by armored vehicles of several variants and the odd mech here and there with several airships flying overhead, from atop the deadly height of a mountain: watching them march across the fields of yet another version of her home world. She unfolded her arms and smirked as the skies darkened. This, this was both business and pleasure. Raine separated into several fireballs and these fireballs flew down from the mountain, through the blackend sky and into the fields below: crashing down amongst one legion and disintegrating several of the armored humans in the process. Raine reformed as the dust settled and looked around to see the knights in disarray and frantically readying their weapons. Raine held out her right arm and torrents of yellow energy swirled and gathered around her forearm. Raine twirled around and a whip formed from this energy spawned from her hand to slice through the hundreds surrounding the kitsune. Raine dashed through the chaos and confusion to reappear amongst other alive knights. Again she swung her energy whip around, striking hundreds more and sending countless bodies flying as she slammed her energy whip into the ground and send out a tremor. As the dust settled and those hundreds of knights still left alive, barely or otherwise, scampering away from Raine, Raine walked forward and drew her katana from its sheath, twirling it around in her right hand before cutting through knight after knight in her path with single strikes. A giant 50 foot mech in the image of a knight stomped its foot down a short distance in front of Raine as she resheathed her blade. Raine kept on walking forward, grabbing one knight, whose helmet had been knocked off, by the head as she walked along. The kitsune stopped and looked up to the mech as its targeting systems scanned her and all of its turrets and cannons locked onto her. Raine held the knight in her grasp up to the mech and showed the man's very soul be ripped from him to it, the knight decaying in her hands as she smirked. Upon completely absorbing his soul for no other reason then she could, Raine tossed his body away and let a violent aura of flames and bio-electricity engulf her. The area around Raine suddenly exploded with the surge of energy and out of the smoke and dust Raine lunged in a lean, 20 metre nine-tailed fox form like that of which her deceased father chose to take after the death of his wife and until his own death.
