"Birdy no!"
That was the last cry he heard before he hit the ground and skidded about twelve feet. As he stood up, he was immediately greeted with the sight of several Beowulves, an Ursa, and that one snake Grimm that he could never remember the name of
Drawing his revolver he fired a few shots into the the group, hoping to blind them. Unfortunately there was no such luck as they charged at him seemingly angrier than before.
Beryl kept firing as the beowulves made their eyes bigger targets by rushing him and getting closer. Upon reaching him, two of the three Beowulves were completely blinded and the Ursa was only angrier.
Beryl jumped over the last Beowulf's swipe and brutally pistol whipped the aggressor in one smooth motion which killed the unblinded Beowulf instantly. Unknown to him, this left him open to the Ursa's swing which he hadn't seen. Beryl was knocked onto the ground roughly and skidded along the ground. Recovering almost instantly, he lept away from a follow up strike and reloaded his revolver quick enough to shoot while still airborne and had hit an eye, further enraging the Ursa.
Immediately dodging the next series of enraged blows, he once again jumped backwards upon seeing a flicker the corner of his eye, barely dodging the snake's strike. The snake struck again and he had no choice but to dodge. Doing so had unknowingly directed him back into the Ursa's range. With an enraged swipe, the Ursa forced him down on his knees in a stalemate that he was slowly winning.
Suddenly slumping over, the Ursa fell with two, one handed dark green axes lodged deep in the back of its head.
"Oh. You're still alive? cool! The name's Jade."
A girl who stood about 5 feet 6 inches without any obvious faunas traits and like a bad pun, she wore shades of darkened green that almost blended in with the foilage.
"Do you already have a partner?"
"No-"
They were interrupted by the snake Grimm attempting to eat Beryl whole. Beryl though had been quick enough to get ahold of the top two fangs. She wiped the momentary shock from her face and took initiative, transforming her axes into a gun and shot the stationary Grimm through the eye, killing it.
"You alright?"
"No."
"Well that sucks. Just follow me, I know where we gotta go."
At her behest he got up from where he was pushed back by the Taijitu and started to follow her, as it looked like she had a clue to where the temple was.
His previous scuffle wasn't without issues though. He was slightly limping behind her.
Occasionally, he lost sight of her which was weird because he knew he was just following her from a few feet away.
'Illusion based semblance? Likely, too soon to tell for sure.'
After ten minutes of a nice peaceful walk, Beryl started to hear the familiar sounds of combat and it seemed like she did as well given that she quickened her pace to a run from a walk. They both entered a clearing at the same time as the stinger of a death stalker rushed down to greet the little girl from yesterday who had been pinned down by giant feathers. Jade immediately combined her axes into a gun that looked and sounded like a shotgun and began firing rounds in hopes of distracting the giant Grimm.
Jade turned to look at Beryl as she felt a strong gust of air only to see nothing. As she turned back, she saw two clean puncture wounds the size of her body going through the torso of the death stalker and an ice wall that stopped the stinger from meeting its target.
"What the shit- how'd the guy do that..."
Receiving no time to ponder, another giant Grimm by the name of a nevermore appeared and flung feathers like giant bullets once again.
Jade was forced to take cover behind a tree as the needle-like feathers landed dangerously close to her.
"Hey, Jade. I grabbed a relic from the ruins."
Holding out his hand he showed her a black rook.
"WHAT the-where did you go?!How did you sneak up on me?! And how'd you do that to the death stalker?!
"Well I immediately went towards the ruins and grabbed the relic, and as for the death stalker, it was probably someone else who killed it."
"Figures, alright. We got no reason to stay and fight, we already have a relic."
"You don't want to help them?"
"We can finish quicker"
"You can go along and finish, I want to help them."
"If you want be stupid don't let me stop you. I'm going to go complete the evaluation."
Beryl immediately ran over to the group at a fast pace, and fired at the nevermore with his hand gun. The nevermore ignored all of the projectiles and opened its mouth to eat Yang, who jumped up and instead of being swallowed, held its mouth open, unloading a whole clip of ammunition into the poor monster's mouth.
The nevermore, understandably dazed, crashed into the cliff face harshly.
Seeing that the white clothed hopeful, who was probably a Schnee judging from those glyphs, had frozen its tail to the ground and the slingshot-esque rope, Beryl helped pull it further back and let it go when Ruby gave the signaling head nod.
The slingshot rocketed Ruby towards the nevermore, catching it's neck on her scythe and the Scnee used her glyphs to accelerate Ruby up the cliff side and behead the nevermore in an overly dramatic fashion.
"Well, that was a thing."
Timeskip to the team ceremony
"Beryl Lgneio. Jade Causs. Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward you will work together as team Charcoal (CRCL). Led by Jade Causs."
"So that's your name, partner." His newly appointed leader spoke.
