Welcome to Round 1 (Open Starter)
Shanyin dodged the first bolt, but the next clipped him in the leg, forcing him to one knee. The martial medic countered by flipping to his weaponâs carbine mode and opening fire.
Laura blocked the kick with her baton and pushed it aside, her Aura took a hit, but it was worth it to get close. The gunslinger opened with two quick strikes to Amarisâ temples, before flowing into a diagonal stroke.
Connor staggered backwards as the flare impacted against his Aura, His ears were ringing but he managed to regain his footing. Clearly, he had to stay out of her range. So, he fired a few shots and retreated into the forest.
Tsubakiâs eyes darted from tree to tree, if her opponent wasnât going to reveal himself, he most likely had a good position to attack from. Therefore, sheâd have to look for him. The tiny snake faunus used her Semblance and disappeared in a flash of cherry blossoms, reappearing in the treetops.
Gizmo transformed his weapon into itâs dual sword form before deflecting some of the bullets that were fired at him and running, taking a couple to his side, that oddly enough didnât make him stagger, though still caused damage to his aura. He slid downhill towards the forest, rolling behind a tree as he then ran deeper into the forest, figuring heâd try to flank the enemy.
Robin blocked the shots fired at her with ease when she heard her opponent run into the forest. She then turned her attention to Amaris and her opponent. Amaris took both of the hits to her head before Robin suddenly rushed in and blocked the last hit with her tonfas. Amaris staggered back a bit, still shaken up a bit by the hits that she took before she then shook it off and threw a regular kick towards Lauraâs gut, now that she had seen an opening thanks to Robinâs help.
Jade sighed a bit when his opponent vanished. âOf course she vanished, women always have to vanish on me.â he groaned a bit in thought as he then figured, he probably couldnât stay where he was forever. Heâd have to move. Though if he moved heâd be giving away his position. That was when he had gotten an idea. He transformed his weapon into itâs boomerang form and attached a string from his satchel to it. He then threw his boomerang, it came back to him of course, after it had gone around a couple of trees and he had smirked to himself. If this didnât get her attention he had no idea what would.
Gizmo came up on the waterfall, looking around. âSuch a lovely landscape.â he commented as he then turned around,  taking out his weapon again, this time in itâs dual bladed sword form, looking ahead of him, expecting someone to be approaching, given he could hear someone approaching he focused his eyes, anticipating what was coming. He had a couple of thoughts, one of which being that he was alone, though to be fair that had never really been a problem in the past anyways.

Out of the corner of her eye, Tsubaki saw two of Team RAGE gang up on Laura. So, the tiny snake faunus broke through the trees and threw a few kunai at Amaris.
Connor caught sight of something in the treetops and lined up a shot with Cu Sidheâs rifle mode. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger and shot it down.
Laura staggered back from the kick and pointed her weapons at both of her opponents. Multitasking was never her strong suit. Looking over Amarisâ shoulder, the gunslinger girl saw her teammate break through the trees. Maybe she wouldnât have to multitask after all.
Shanyin got to his feet and flipped Shihu back to its dao mode and chased Gizmo into the forest.

Robin quickly moved one of her tonfas around Amaris, letting the blade extend out of the back of it to block the kunais. However one of which grazed past her back upon being deflected from Amaris and then hitting the ground with a loud clink.Â
Amaris whirled around and saw that Tsubaki was throwing projectiles at them. âRobin?â Amaris was now back to back with her. âYes.â Robin then let Amaris back flip over her, Amarisâ feet aiming down in front of Laura, glowing with Aura and Earth dust being the selected slot of the weapon. Upon making contact with the ground earth shards started spiking up around where Amaris had landed
 Robin fired a shot at the ground, and propelled herself upwards to avoid Amarisâ attack and fired a couple of shots out towards where Tsubaki was before landing and then rushing towards her, both blades of her tonfas being out as she slashed through a tree right next to her, the tree falling down beside her, the dust caused from the debris would provide her attack with ample cover as she then rushed in, the blades of her weapon glowing with burn dust as she neared her target..
Jade cursed a bit to himself as he fallen off the tree. Though his expression quickly changed to a bit of a smirk as his little trap of strings was now set up perfectly from his fall. âHeh, you know what they say about great things sometimes coming from mistakesâŚâ he then cut the string off his weapon and fired an ice crossbow bolt directly at Connor.
Gizmo glared forward at Shanyin as he approached, rushing towards him before using his weapon to vault over him and transform it into itâs dual sword form, slashing at Shanyinâs back.

An airstep glyph shot Laura above the shattering ground as Laura fired downwards at Amaris. Summoning her Semblance, she used some Dust from the reservoirs on her guns to create comets and shot them at her opponent.
Tsubaki reholstered one of her weapons and threw a smoke bomb at her feet to cover her teleporting away from Robin.
Connor took the bolt in the back and whirled around, firing a shot in the direction he thought it came from.
Shanyin whirled around and blocked the incoming blade, bringing Gizmo into a deadlock.

Amaris rolled forward to dodge the volley of gunshots fired at  her, running from the shots fired at her, ducking behind a tree and taking a moment to catch her breath, checking her Aura level on her scroll. âCrapâŚâ she cursed at herself a bit.
Robin merely smirked. The smoke bomb really had no affect on her due to the fact that she was blind and could only really make out bright lights and Aura visibly.Though she was a bit perplexed when her opponentâs Aura had seemingly vanished. She held her weapons up, readying her guard, looking around for Aura that was close by. She could tell this opponent of hers was going to sneak up on her. It was a good thing her semblance was her sixth sense as she called it.
Jade cursed to himself upon rolling past the tree he had used for cover. He fired a regular bolt at Connor and groaned to himself. âCâmon you idiot⌠Just walk towards me dammit.â he shrugged in thought as he readied an electric bolt.
Gizmoâs eyes glared at his opponent before looking to his opponents weapon and which was locked between his two blades. He then moved his opponentâs blade aside. Even with his slightly enhanced strength he found that to be difficult before he then threw a quick kick at Shanyin.

Laura reholstered her guns and pulled out two large vials of Dust, Popping the tops, she used her Semblance to create a massive volley of Dust comets and launched them at the tree Amaris was hiding behind.
Tsubaki teleported behind Robin and was ready to bring her weapons down on her, only to teleport away and strike from a different angle. Then, she started using her Semblance to attack from all directions.
Connor dodged the next bolt and returned fire. This was getting him nowhere, he needed to find a better vantage point.
Shanyin blocked the kick with his arm and countered by using his Semblance again, creating a blast of fire at point-blank range.

Amaris cursed again and rolled away from the incoming comets, taking a couple of moments to catch her breath when she noticed Gizmo in the distance struggling with his opponent. She decided to rush to his aid.
Robin was caught off guard by the frequent teleporting her opponent was doing taking a few hits and blocking a few before she finally brought her weapon down to the ground, causing the ground to shatter beneath her and Tsubaki, propelling her up into the air and making her land a few feet away.
Jade shrugged as he realized his opponent wouldnât be going closer to him, that he would have to move himself. He climbed up the tree and started looking for a decent vantage point from atop the trees.
Gizmo was knocked back by the blast of fire. However Amaris was soon at his side and helped him up as she readied her stance, looking to Shanyin. Amaris nodding to him as Gizmo then rushed forward with Amaris, Amaris, jumping at Shanyin, spinning and attempting to hit him with a kick while Gizmo threw his weapon in itâs large Shuriken form at Shanyin, oddly enough it went around him and instead cut a tree besides him, as Amaris caught it on his other side and threw it back to Gizmo, cutting the other tree besides Shanyin apart and causing them to fall down towards him.
