"Though"

"Words on notepad"

Chapter Four: Emerald Forest

The wind rushed by me as I made my way through the air. Looking around I notice a tall tree that would soften my fall. I reached out to grab one of the branches, then in a series of complicated movements my feet finally found the ground. It still hurt like hell but not as bad as hitting the ground at whatever speed I was going at. Getting up I get my bearings and start heading north with my legs still aching.

I've been running for a while now and have not seen even a single sign of other person whom may have passed by in the direction I was currently heading. Luckily my pad did not launch me far from a clearing that I spied when in the air. Up ahead I was able to spot Razi fighting a pack of Beowolves on his own, ripping though them with his claw like weapon but not making much progress as he had to duck out of the way and only left light cuts. I grabbed my rifle to help because one it will probably take forever to find someone else and two it's like I could leave someone I met before surrounded by grimm.

I dashed in nearby brushes and started to shoot but I didn't bother to try to make head shots mostly because it was pointless to try to hit a fast and small moving target plus there is always a possibility that a stray bullet might hit Razi. I instead shot at the grimm's arms and legs that were going to slash at Razi to help him. He was now able to move more and take out his opponents with ease and quicker thanks to the support. One of the grimm seem to actually use it's brain and figured out that it was pointless to try to attack the wolf faunus. It came charging in my direction. I calmly waited until it was within thirty feet to shift my rifle's muzzle to it and made the shot when it was at fifteen feet away. The bullet pierced the Beowolf straight between its eyes and the grimm collapsed dead. The ever so familiar smog appeared to calm its prey.

Getting up I look over to Razi who had only two Beowolves left. I lifted up my rifle and held my breath to steady my aim, time around my seemed to slow down. Falling leaves seemed to float, Razi's movements became sluggish, and the grimm were nothing more than sitting ducks.

*ROAR*

Turning around there was a Ursa before I could react it swipes it claws at me cutting me in the chest and launching me a cross the clearing at high speed only to hit a tree with a loud sicking smack.

"CHASE!" Razi screamed.

"Son of a bit-" was the last thought that went threw my head as everything faded into black.
