Nowhere near as tall and mighty as the Abyssal Castle close by, The long, spiraling bridge would show off multiple Towers adorned in multiple colors and shapes. The Gym Leader Castle, Once a home to challenge all of Kanto's strongest, now stands as a hollow husk of itself, as the stench and purple drifting winds of Starvia floated on the bottom, slowly rising up, as in the distance, A Gigantic Black bird-shaped sillouhette could be seen flapping its wings in the distance.


However, The Journey there was quite a long ways away. It would need alot of distance to cover, And in the path...



"Grrrrrr...."

Beowolves were tracing around the entrance of the Pewter City Tower, Looking around for some form of fresh hunt around these dead lands. It was a journey filled with combat a plenty ahead!

Better get started!

Ruby looked at the distant building...and then her eyes landed on the many Beowolves populating the road to it. "Whoa...that’s a bunch of Grimm…how did they populate this place so fast?" she questioned, looking behind her for any possible sign of her new teammates. ...Right, new teammates. It’d take a while to get used to this signup system of 'first come, first served'. That meant meeting new people left and right, and that made her a bit anxious.

...Maybe she should focus on creating some sort of plan instead of focusing on her social grievances, that ought to provide a quick distraction. The young Huntress-in-training hummed in thought… as soon as both Mayl and Roll arrive, they would be a team of three (and if perchance that blonde joins up too, that'd make them four), and Beowolves were usually not that resilient...still, this whole planet felt weird, and it affected her in some way. There was a chance the Grimm could've been affected too, and that asked her to be cautious.

...Well, not much else she could do right now besides wait for the other two to show up. Ruby began wondering what kind of weapons her teammates used...

Ruby would hear a series of pants as two girls ran up behind her. Mayl and her partner, Roll, both coming to a stop behind the red cloaked girl. The former of which was currently catching breath while the pink clad navi stretched a bit. "You're seriously winded from that, Mayl~?" The digital woman teased her operator while Mayl caught her breath.

"Hey, we can't all be digital like you... besides, I'm not exactly used to needing to run like that..." She then turned towards Ruby. Her hand stretching out to greet her. "Um, sorry I'm late. I got caught up in some last minute prepararions... Oh! By the way my name is Mayl Sakurai, this is my partner Roll. You must be Ruby, right?" The young girl seemed to kinda nervous as well. At least Ruby wasn't the only one who was on edge.

Roll would smile and extend her hand as well, her strange outfit most certainly standing out and if Ruby had paid close attention, she'd like have seen the ribbons that were attached to her helmet twitch a bit, as if scanning for something.

While the two girls were currently discussing there arrival into this area, the Beowulves surrounding the Pewter Tower had taken a keen notice of them, And Let out a sharp, Ready growl to attack, Before the group had lunged forward, Trying to Swing down there claws atop of Ruby...Only to suddenly get Blindsided by a much more massive grimm!

...And what a Grimm it was! It didnt resemble any of the grimm of Ruby's home world, Nor any of the grimm surrounding it, as the Large, Rocky Snake-like Grimm let out a Roar of its own, Before circling around and Tail-slapping the Beowolves away! The Stony Monster circled back around, Hissing as it stared at Ruby, Mayl and Roll, as soon, a...Ghost-like Figure appeared behind it.




GYM SPIRIT BROCK APPEARED!







The Ghostly Apparition of Pewter's Gymleader stared silently at the group, Smiling and nodding, as it moved its hand outward, the Onix Grimm slowly moving at command of its master...Was...Was this Ghost controlling it! Regardless, The Onix stood Stand-offish to the three girls, and seemed directly set on getting in there way.

"Hey, look out!" Roll would quickly move in front of Mayl. The netnavi taking a wide stance as she got ready to try and fend off the Grimm... only for them all to be knocked away and sent flying. The Navi's eyebrows raising a bit, until she noticed the massive Rock Snake that was now blocking their path.

"Roll..." Mayl said her Navi's name tentatively as she looked over at the massive monster and it's shadowy owner. "Yeah... I know. I'm ready for this!"

"Alright, Roll.exe... Battle Routine, SET!"

With a swift dash, Roll would charge forward. Her ribbons sharpening into blades as she leapt forward at the strange Grimm. The navi grabbing onto the horn on it's head as the ribbons stretched forward and began rapidly slashing. Mayl meanwhile had backed away, her hands reaching into her pockets to grab her PET and a Battle Chip. The red head quickly inserting the chip inside. Sending a round of Cannon data towards Roll.

(Roll's Ribbon Blades. Inflicts 8% per hit

Roll would quickly leap off the rock monster's head. The data from Mayl's Battle chip reaching just as she kicked off, causing her right hand to swiftly transform into a large pink cannon before firing a large ball of plasma right at the Onyx.

(Mayl has used the Cannon Battle Chip. Inflicts 20% if it hits.
p_1d20+4)

The cannon then shrunk, compressing into a standard Buster as she aimed it right at the same spot she'd aimed to blast with the Cannon. Using the recoil of both shots to push herself away from the massive monster. The pink clad navi landing on her feet with a soft thud.

(Roll Buster. Inflicts 18% if it hits.

"H-hey! Yeah, that's me, Ruby Rose! Nice to meet you...!" Ruby awkwardly greeted, extending a hand to shake in a somewhat stiff fashion. Curse her lack of social skills. Whether or not Mayl or Roll would answer the handshake though, it'd be followed by a moment of awkward silence. 'C'mon, Ruby, think of something to talk about!' she thought to herself.

Wait. Hang on...when in doubt, talk about weapons! That's...probably a good common ground for a conversation starter, right?

Of course,the little moment between the two was interrupt by a slew of Grimm coming towards them. "--Get behind me!" Ruby was quick to draw Crescent Rose from her back and shield Mayl & Roll, ready to take a swing at the group of Beowolves going toward her...before a giant Grimm-like rock serpent suddenly emerged and swat all the others away!

"Whoa...this one's huge! And a type of Grimm I haven't seen before!" Ruby commented in surprise... before suddenly smirking. New Grimm meant new challenge! There's a reason to be excited! She took note on Mayl & Roll's fighting style - mostly long-ranged, it looked like - so she came up with a plan. Kind of barebones, but it's better than nothing. "I'll keep it distracted! You girls hit it with everything you have!" she said, before vanishing and suddenly reappearing in the sky, bravely leaping towards the snake-like Grimm and slashing at it multiple times with her mechanical scythe.

After that, Ruby pointed Crescent Rose upwards, before spinning it vertically with her in a very rapid fashion, the scythe gunning for the Grimm's head. If it did hit, Ruby would follow with a gunshot to it, the recoil of the shot powerful enough to send Ruby back...though she seemed to have it under control, as she nailed a three-point landing with style.

With various Buster Shots and Blade slashes, The Grimm bleeds in what looks like rose petals across the field, Flinging back and roaring as it settled forward, As the Monstrous Grimm Onix pursued forward, Rumbling across the landscape as its body rotated and circled around itself, as the Onix Grimm Suddenly launched a Barrage of stones at the Two Girls from the earth!

Ruby, Roll.Exe, Mayl! Roll 3 DEX Checks! Each failed Dec Check deals 10% Damage.

Onix then coiled itself up, its body starting to grow a hardening bone-like Shell.
