Today was the monthly field exercise and saying Sapphire was nervous would be putting it lightly. This will be her first time leading her team against Grimm. The objective is to take a picture of your team with a decaying Nevermore.
"Okay so we have two hours to find and kill a Nevermore. We all remember than plan right?" Sapphire shyly asked
"Right" Pyrrha said
"Right" Ren said
No response from Nora.
"Nora?" Pyrrha asked
"Okay I maaaaaaay have been too absorbed in my pancakes to hear the plan"
"Alright the plan is to get me in range so I can use my semblance and pin down the Nevermore then we can all go to town on it"
"Nevermore!" Nora yelled
Some bird was flying one hundred meters away. Sapphire could tell with her advanced sight it was a crow but Nora couldn't.
"Fore!" Nora yelled as she swung
"Nonononononoononono!"
Nora used a grenade empowered swing from Magnhild to send Sapphire flying across the Emerald Forest. On the way up Sapphire hit her head on a tree branch which rendered her unconscious.
"Oh no" Nora gasped and dropped Magnhild in shock at what she just did
"Sapphire!" Pyrrha yelled
"Come on!" Ren said "We have to go find her!"
"Ow my head. What the hell happened"
Sapphire's vision was blurry as she awoke and felt a sharp pain in her arm. Looking down she saw that a Beowolf was biting her arm and had made several holes leaking red liquid.
"Fucker!"
Sapphire blew it's head off with a shot from Reaper. After it lost it's head the body collapsed just like Sapphire's.
"Fuck" she whined as she rolled onto her side and held her arm.
Sapphire could hear more coming. She reached into her ammo pack to reload Reaper but came across a slight problem. All her ammo was gone.
"Dammit Nora. Must have fallen when I went flying. Let's see I have...five bullets"
A pack of twenty Beowolves surround her.
"Good thing I still have one plan I can try" Sapphire said trying to give herself hope
Sapphire got up and executed her master plan. A Beowolf's attack pattern is based on sight so the priority is whatever moves fastest. Sapphire took off her hat and threw it as hard as she could towards the sky and used her semblance on it to make it even lighter and faster. Then came her true plan once the Beowolves weren't looking at her. She ran away.
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck" Sapphire muttered
Sapphire ran as fast as she could which isn't much given how much pain she was in. Her distraction hadn't gone that well given that the Beowolves were now chasing after her. One sliced at her leg and she tried to use her aura to block but the Beowolf from before had gotten rid of it all. Sapphire fell to her hands and knees then grabbed her leg in pain. Once again she was surrounded.
Sapphire's last five remaining shots all missed. They would have missed if her target was the Beowolves. The bullets chipped away a nearby tree enough so that when Sapphire activated her semblance it came crashing down on top of six of the Beowolves and blocked Sapphire from the other's sight.
Doing her best, Sapphire crawled as fast as she could to get away and eventually came to the edge of a cliff. The cliff was next to a waterfall that lead to a lake down below. The cliff had to be at least three hundred meters tall and would probably kill anyone who fell. The sound coming from behind Sapphire of multiple footsteps panicked her and made her crawl off the cliff.
At first Sapphire thought maybe it was blood loss but when she was falling off the cliff she saw a Nevermore who made it's nest in the side of the cliff. Not missing her chance, Sapphire used her semblance on the Nevermore and sent it plummeting down into the lake with her riding on it's back to cushion the blow. Unfortunately the Nevermore managed to grasp Sapphire in it's talons.
It was crushing Sapphire and she couldn't undo her semblance. The two crashed into the lake below with the Nevermore dragging Sapphire down with it. The water swiftly filling her lungs rendered her unconscious.
Pyrrha, Nora, and Ren had been frantically searching for their leader when they heard a loud crash and suddenly they were all covered in water. They all looked to the side and saw what used to be a lake. The crash snapped the Nevermore's neck like a twig but a lot of the flying water had landed in Sapphire's throat.
"Sapphire!" Pyrrha called and went into the pit
Taking Sapphire's pulse Pyrrha was scared.
"She's not breathing"
Pyrrha cut off the Nevermore's talon that was holding Sapphire then proceeded to pull her out of the pit. Pyrrha pushed down on Sapphire's chest five times then pinched her nose and breathed into her mouth. Pyrrha felt something she could only describe as really nice while she performed CPR.
It took a minute for Sapphire to come to. The first thing she noticed was that her crush and idol was kissing her, the second is that she was about to cough so she broke the kiss.
"Thank god you're alright" Pyrrha said "I was really afraid we lost you"
Sapphire noticed Nora ran over and got on her knees and was lowering her head.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry"
"Hey it was my bad, I should have communicated better" Sapphire said then collapsed "Take a picture before it decays"
Ren took a picture of the entire group and the decaying Nevermore.
"We should get out of here" Ren suggested
"Ow" Sapphire whined when she tried to move
"Your arm and leg" Pyrrha gasped
"Yeah I got attack. I lost my ammo and my semblance doesn't work on hordes"
" I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry"
Sapphire blushed and asked "C-Could somebody carry me? It hurts to move"
Nora figured she'd do it since this was all her fault but was beaten to the punch by Pyrrha who only for a moment sent Nora a look with a clear message. Mine.
"Oh god out of everyone why is it Pyrrha, I can't control myself like this!"
"Hang on tight" Pyrrha said
"What are these feelings?" she asked herself
Suddenly Pyrrha felt light as a feather.
"That's my semblance, it can make things heavier or lighter"
"Thank you" Pyrrha said
"Can I touch them?" Nora asked
"T-Touch what?" Sapphire blushed
Nora pointed to her head and Sapphire just now realized that her hat was gone.
"I lost my hat" Sapphire whined "If you ever touch them I will hurt you. It's the same as groping me"
"It is?!" Pyrrha blushed "You didn't tell me that!"
"I'm sorry!" Sapphire apologized
The rest of the night was awkward for everyone except Ren.
Alright so today was a great and terrible day. My arm hurts a lot, so much I can't use it for almost a week and I'm also not supposed to put weight on my leg for a week but on the plus side PYRRHA KISSED ME! Okay so maybe it was CPR since I was drowning but still her lips were up against mine. Oh life is so cruel, just get us together or not already.
I take it back it's SaPyrrha
