Kazuo, Tamashi, Ryoko, Axel Cooke, Chiba, Sera Bully Raven Hollow

Raven Hollow flew through the air, like the battle bus about to unload a whole heap of sweats over tomato town. It was the size of a small sedan, and then it spots it's goal, it's target, it's -meal-. It dive bombs down and lands before the pink human. It's red beady eyes, all four of them, honeing in and ignoreing the others!

"KRAAAAA!"
Tamashi, Ryoko had awaited in the middle of the forest with her arms crossed, much like she explained to the others she knew that the hollow would be unable to contain itself from coming back for seconds, after having a taste, a creature drawn by the desire to feed alone would not be able to contain itself.

"I knew you'd show up here, bird brain."

 Her body was still wounded from the past fight, the blood somewhat cleaned but the bruises and cuts still visible, yet her spirit flared much greater than last time! Something had changed!

"...You may have gotten me last time, but I won't be taken out so easily... All my friends are getting stronger and stronger..."

 She shut her eyes, thinking about all the struggles and effort the others had gone through with their abillities. Strength born out of desire, it was something she had reached towards for so long and not reached... But that had changed! For her spirit had found it's calling, it had struck what she was fighting against this entire time; the desire to not be alone.

 Her eyes opened up, her iris looking notably different! It had markings like a clock, her iris shaped now like the hands of a clock as they ticked down the time.

"...I won't let them leave me behind! No matter how much 'time' it takes! Bring it on!!"


Kazuo stopped behind Ryoko, holding onto the cap on his head... He perks his brow at the gigantic crow Hollow screeching in the air.

So this was a Hollow in person, was it?
Interesting.

He stands in the back, letting Ryoko do what she came here to do. To butt in now would be dishonoring her.

"This is your rival, Ryoko? I always took you for a bird brain, so it only suits ya... So why don't you show it how superior you are?"
Axel Cooke watched. He was ready, though despite how pained he was by the idea... He'd let it happen and once again find motivation in her resolve. Remnants of who he was before shone through as he cheered her on.

"<Kickits ass Ryoko!>"
He was ready.
Raven Hollow didn't know anything about the girls powers, or her friends. However, for some odd reason, she now seemed even tastier then before! It shivered with delight, and rushed forward, aiming to send a single clawed foot raking down her frame. It's body shivering like a bird bristling it's feathers, it's head cocked slightly to the side.

"Kaw! Raaaa!"
Chiba, Sera caught sight of the hollow at likely the same time as the others had, this isn't her first time seeing one of them, their presense is something that plagues her past. Her enrollment into the university served as a respite from running away from such fiends.

This is however her first time seeing one since she has gained some power of her own, some strength to contest against these fiends.

However, this is not her fight, as was Ryoko's request, she does not move in on the avian creature. Emerald eyes drift over to the pink girl, watching her resolve to awaken. It is pressure like this that will help usher it along.

She is confident that Ryoko will not fail here, she will join the rest of her peers very soon.
Chiba, Sera thinks, I wonder what type fo ability she will awaken to.
Axel Cooke thinks, It's not so-fast... But beast-types have all be strong so-far...
Tamashi, Ryoko stared straight at the Raven, as opposed to last time where she shut her eyes and covered her head the girl did not hesitate for a moment! And as she did, her abillity would trigger, causing the bird to move in an oddly sluggish way, slow enough that she could easily just step to the side and avoid it, she had gotten much faster too.

"...I thought birds were supposed to be fast."

 She was acting like a proper badass now! Avoiding a strong attack like that with barely any movement at all, now all she needed was to dish out some physical punishment.

"ORAA!!"

 Thrusting her arm forward she would drive it straight into the bird's face..!

"...Ah."

 But... It didn't hurt at all! Her strength hadn't increased in the slightest!

"H-Heh... Shit."
(28 AS)
Kazuo rubbed at his chin... That was fast. Faster than he could react in his base form. And Ryoko dodged it completely? Maybe... she really isn't in her base form?

He hasn't noticed anything special though. Kazuo keeps his eyes on the fight.

"...Eh?! That's all you have to hurt it with?!"
Tamashi, Ryoko says, S-Shut up! It's not like I have a big monster to do my bidding!
Kazuo receives a text!
Kazuo has his phone buzz... He pulls it out and starts texting while Ryoko mercilessly beats the bird Hollow.
Kazuo sends a text!
Raven Hollow was slowed?! It didn't understand. It was being insulted as well? Well, that it really didn't understand. It din't have a note worthy sense of self. It was a mindless best, intent on eating! It wanted the pink human before it. It was then punched. Nothing. Not even a scracth upon it's mask. Once more, it made that strange gutteral laugh, not that it could laugh.Maybe it was just noises?

It kawed and attempted, much like before, to lunge and bite, it's wings, once more, swinging to shower her with glittery gifts of glowing feathers. Wasn't it a nice bird? No. No it wasn't a nice bird. It was a jerk, and these feathers might hurt, or they might not, bringers built diffrent.
Kazuo receives a text!
Ella Kidd says, Oh you mean-
Tamashi, Ryoko was a bit annoyed her attack hadn't hurt it, but she hadn't been hurt either! One way or another, the two were even... Somehow.

"..!"

 Seeing it try to peck at her the girl quickly shifted her gaze towards it's face, causing the beast to move slowly enough for her to step back, once more it did a familiar attack.

"Tch, that feather attack huh?"

 She once more braced herself, last time even if her eyes could follow the feathers, her body could not, but with the help of her ability the girl dodged and weaved through each one of the feathers! It was like she was playing some bullet hell game.

 Seeing how this attack worked greatly last time, the bird might've been confident it had hit her this time... Yet from the smoke the bullets kicked up Ryoko would leap at them! This time going to grab the bird by it's neck!

"S-Settle down, you! I'm... Gonna..!"

 If she managed to catch it, she would go up and... Mount the hollow!?
Kazuo watches the rain of feathers fly out towards him as it did Ryoko! He wasn't able to dodge it initially... but somehow, even he could react to it this time. And he WAS in his base form. Maybe this Hollow was just weaker than normal?

He sets his Reiryoku out, letting a small red glow take his body as he dashes back and holds his arms up to avoid taking damage. Fortunately, he was tougher than normal with his spriitual energy out...

"Damn it... This thing is hitting us back here!"
Axel Cooke was keenly assessing the fight. It was all that he could, if he wanted to respect her request. Though with each passing moment, he felt the need to dive in. With the hollow's spray of massive feathers, he'd raise his arm and allow it to erupt with the electric reiatsu before swiping the feathers that'd make to strike him down away from his frame. He was too focused on Ryoko and her plight to worry about the small nicks that the feathers would bring him.
Chiba, Sera narrows her eyes as she watches the exchange, there is uncertainty if Ryoko is going to possess the strength required to actually kill this thing.

The further that the fight is drawn out as well, there are risks of others getting caught in the crossfire, which has become apparent as of now.

"Pull yourself out of the way, Kazuo, you're not going to be fighting it hands on anyways! You should learn to keep your distance with your ability."

Sera does the same, she keeps herself posted by the nearby tree, watching as Ryoko made an attempt to climb onto the bird.

This seems like a reckless play if ever she has seen one.

Preemptively, to ensure she can act upon the danger that Ryoko's actions present, her energies begin to flow. The ring on her hand begins to glow and grows into a brilliant hoop of silver, decorated with a thousand emerald leaves on its surface.

"If you can't hurt it, say so now!"
Raven Hollow was not landing any damage upon his target, not in the slightest?! It would be frustrated if it could turely feeling anything save hunger or hatred. It was mounted, rather surpriseingly. It took to the air, it's wings unfurling and it shooting off into the sky, provided noone stopped it!

"SCRAWWW!"
Kazuo says, HEY, YOU GONNA COME BACK DOWN?
Tamashi, Ryoko clung on tightly to the beast as it flew up, her plan was originally to keep it down but... With her lack of strength and weight, it just easily lifted her up.

"THIS BACKFIIIIREEeeeed..."

 Flying up to the sky she would look down towards the trio on the ground.

"I-I... Nhh..."

 She probably needed help, but all of a sudden they would start feeling rather odd... Their movement was slowed down drastically! Ryoko didn't quite understand her ability just yet, so when she looked down at the group from that vantage point in the sky she accidentally slowed them all down, getting in the way of her own rescue!
Axel Cooke saw the bird's motion to take-off. It was clear what he had to do at that point and with a rush of the short distance, he'd extend his fullbring to reach and grab the beast's foot. Some cautioned words left his mouth as he did.

"Together, alright?! Focus!"
His grip alone would've perhaps proved some danger for the newborn Raven-Type hollow.
(it's 38 speed with the debuff and 43 as)
Chiba, Sera was beginning to think that letting Ryoko act alone against the hollow may have been a mistake. She wasn't capable of dealing any harm to the thing, plus, she doesn't even have a weapon.. so that means her ability is some form of modification type, right? It's the only thing that makes sense.

She begins to twist and twirl her chakram, spinning it rapidly on her index finger. Through a flick of her wrist, the silver ring is let loose with the intent of soaring through the air and clipping one of Ryoko's wings.

Successful or not, the chakram twists through the air and returns to Sera's hand.
Ella Kidd drops down from the sky.

She frowns, heavily. She saw the damage to the city in the west. The Bank...what the fuck was happening down over there. It was only when she dropped down a familiar hollow was seen.

"Wrap it up kids. City under attack. Go back to school."

But she hasn't checked on the wounds of people yet. If need be...

She'll erase the Hollow herself.
Raven Hollow the bird is shocked, kinda? Then it's WING is hit! Howeber, it's a minor pain, it does CLEAR damage to the hollow, but not enough to stop it's asscent. However, it's mind would be read.

"FOooooooD! Pink! Small tail!"

Then the bird would shake and shake, and shake some more, as a black hole began to open in space before it! Was it. . going to go home, with these kids?!
Kazuo entered a ready stance, though he wouldn't be able to bring out his Living Doll and communicate with it to tell it to stop that bird in the time it'd take to enter wherever that black hole entered...

He cups his hands. "Hey! Jump off of that thing! Something came up in front of it, I think it's going to drag you guys into a nest or something!"
Chiba, Sera forges a connection with the beast, through that connection she knows exactly what the hollows next plan is. The opening a portal, the idea to return back home to it's world.

"It's going to open a portal!" She declares, well before the avian can even get a chance to create it.

It's a warning of what's to come, to prepare Ryoko and the others for the danger it presents.
Through the insight of the beast, she knows exactly what to expect on the otherside of that portal, a wasteland of monsters.

Ryoko must not be allowed to pass through, it will be certain death.

She flicks her hand out quickly to release her chakram once more, sending it directly into the path of the raven's flight, intent on intercepting it's formation of a portal.

The chakram is aimed for the avian's face, intent on carving through its mask if at all possible. She can only hope to dish out enough damage to put the beast down before Ryoko gets taken.

Her chakram returns in its path back to her hand and she releases it once more, again aiming for the wounded wing.
Tamashi, Ryoko shut her eyes as she felt Sera's chakram just barely miss her, heavily damaging that bird's wings.

"Nice..! Huh??"

 Yet, it didn't stop! In fact, that just made it more desperate, it performed a familiar shake, it was the same it did before it ran away last time.

"...Oh no."

 As she saw that familiar black hole forming the girl felt an intense ammount of dread, she didn't know what it was or where it led, yet she almost immediately understood that they could 'not' go through that.

"What do I do, what do I--"

 Looking around, she'd notice two things, firstly that Axel was holding onto the hellow and secondly that Kazuo was right below them, it gave her an idea...

"...Alright, Kazuo! Catch me!"

 She let go of the hollow, being dragged back by the wind as she entered a freefall! Yet instead of looking at the ground, her eyes were set on Axel! Even if she couldn't do anything against the beast, there were people here that could. Her vision changed, going from a desire to protect herself to a desire to help her friends!

 Axel's sluggishness would dissapear completely, infact he would feel himself moving even faster! Her ability speeding him up instead of slowing him down.

"Get that thing out of the sky..."
Arata ...[1/3]
Kazuo was taken by surprise by... this bird brain girl falling from the air and asking him to catch her?! How heavy was she, again?! He rushes on over to where Ryoko was planning to fall, hurrying at the call. He doesn't know how to exactly help besides holding his arms out and... catching her?

He's prepared to grab onto the pinky in her descent... This wasn't going to end well.

"Okay, shit! Uh..."
Axel Cooke found an intensity in what he'd saw. His eyes raced and as the bird made to soar through the rip in the human world. He wasn't intending to add that to his list of new experiences, not anytime soon at-least.

He'd opted to mark Ryoko's gaze and adjust himself by kicking off of the hollow at his new angle. He didn't trust the idea of anyone being smushed, not when he could mitigate things to an extent-

With Ryoko's boon, his angled dive would've off-set her velocity enough to send them towards the top of the tree, near Ella's location. All the while, he'd make to carefully hold her to focus the differentials.

"Damnit.."
The impact was fairly audiable.

Axel Cooke hands Arata a Nez Purple Hoodie.
Axel Cooke hands Arata a Jacket.
Axel Cooke hands Arata a Nez Marsh.
Tamashi, Ryoko was fully expecting to fall into Kazuo's arms, even if he couldn't really 'handle' her weight his body would at least soften the fall.

"WEH!"

 But instead she was clutched rapidly mid-air, a bullet of a sped-up man wrapping their arms around her as they both crashed into a tree.

"Guuhh... Y-you alright Alex?"

 She got scratched up from the tree branches, but other than that he ate most of the damage, aswell as Kazuo's save.
Ella Kidd noticed the new Hollow, and her students performing mid-air acrobatics in the worst way possible. Why? Ah, right, they had seemed to be caught by the Hollow or rode it. Oh well. She waits for them to leave the zone...

She raised her glowing, purple hand.

The earth around her trembles and shakes as several massive chunks of earth are ripped apart...then crushed inwards with nothing but the raw force of gravity. They create hyper-dense spheres. They were pitch black orbs of crushed material - even random sediment in the air wasn't spared. Everything in the area was formed into six fist-sized orbs.

"Meteor Shower."

They shot off with enough speed that they broke the sound barrier. They had an absurd mass and speed behind it. Four of them are shot. They all had scary calculated accuracy. If they hit the Raven, there'd be an ugly sound like something blunt had just cracked into a fleshy, immovable object. Depending on the durability of the Raven, this might just turn it into flying paste.
Kazuo says, Meteor WHAT?
Raven Hollow The bird was scrathed upon it's precious mask! It was free of it's passengers, and it was home free. The blows were noted, but with a healthy noise it kept it's escape up! It was so close to home!

"KA KA-"

It never finished it's victory screech. The hole was open, it were mere inches from entering the passage between this palce and it's nest. Then the rocks hit it, painfully. It slowed, it almost fell from the sky, but then?

"KAW!"

It was gone, it's black body managed to weather the storm of PAIN from the meteors. It was almost enough, but not quite. It's massive tail is seen escapeing into the portal, and then, a few moments later, the garganta snapped shut.
Ella Kidd says, That keep it from coming back.
Tamashi, Ryoko says, Haah... And it got away anyway, sure hope this doesn't bite me in the ass later.
