"Can you just please take it out!" Ivy groaned in pain, thanks to Rosalina's insane plan of trying to get onto the Nevermore. They attracted the Nevermore's attention which in return, cause the massive dumb raven to shoot out its feathers like high powered javelins.
The three girls laid behind a dense amount of trees, Ivy had a massive black feather that was dug deep into her right shoulder. She was trying to create a mana barrier if Rosalina didn't charge in and almost got herself killed. Lilith's hands glowed dimly, her Semblance: Asclepius was able to help wounds and anything that involves blood, the only thing is. Lilith couldn't use her Semblance while the feather was still inside Ivy's shoulder. Lilith looked distressed as she tried to think of removing the feather herself but she only caused Ivy more pain since she didn't have the strength to pull it out.
Ivy breathed deeply as her breath faltered a little. "Rose, either use your scythe to cut the feather small enough so I can move without being a massive target OR PULL THE DAMN FEATHER OUT!" Ivy yelled belligerently, she was indeed angry at Rosalina. It was mainly her fault for trying to take out the Nevermore along.
"Can't you take it out yourself?" Rosalina complained she wasn't going to help Ivy if she kept acting like a brat who lost didn't get what they wanted. Her clothing was a bit dirty since she was knocked down by Ivy.
Ivy glared at Rosalina's figure which sent massive chills down her spine, she had reasons for working alone and not having other people to deal with. This was one of the major reasons why people like Rosalina make having a team terrible.
"Fine, be that way," Ivy's brows twitched at annoyance, she wasn't going to deal with Rosalina's arrogance. She lifted her left arm and tightly gripped it around the stem of the feather; she adjusted her grip before taking a deep breath. In quick succession, Ivy manages to pull out the feather and tossed it to the side as she let Lilith's healing hands close up the bleeding wound.
"Urgh, you two are so weak, your Aura can't even protect you from a Nevermore's feather piercing your skin," Rosalina mocked Ivy and Lilith, she didn't even understand why Lilith was helping such a weakling like Ivy.
Lilith couldn't stand the nerves that Rosalina was saying, she grabbed her pistol and aimed it at Rosalina's head. "Don't you dare insult Ivy, she may not look strong but she is twenty times better than you!"
"Then how about she doesn't yell at me like this was my fault!" Rosalina yelled back. She stomped her heel into the dirt as she curled her fists, she was annoyed that she was getting the blame. She could have easily taken out that Nevermore if that stupid Neko didn't get in front of her. "It's her fault for getting in my way! I could have--"
"Quiet," Ivy's voice growled deeply, she pushed herself off the ground as she cleaned off the dirt on her.
Lilith shut her mouth as she looked at Ivy, she saw that Ivy's eyes were white which made her confused. She furrowed her brows as she expected Ivy's hair to at least change red like all Osirias. Was there something different about Ivy's powers that made it so her hair doesn't change like most Osirias? Lilith stayed quiet as she shifted her feet towards Ivy.
"What's up your eyes?" Rosalina asked as she crossed her arms.
"Don't mind my eyes," Ivy ignored Rosalina's question and picked up the feather at her feet. "You want to take out that Nevermore?"
Sighing deeply, Lilith put her pistol beside her leg as the magnets attracted the gun's negative charges. She walked up to Ivy and nudged her arm, whispering quietly, "You're eyes are white, not red."
Ivy made a low growl before closing her eyes, her eyes came back to normal. She nodded in appreciation for Lilith. She adjusted her grip around the feather before walking out of the dense trees of the Forever Fall forest.
Rosalina smirked lightly as she followed Ivy from behind, she stuck out her tongue as if she was the victor in their argument.
Lilith rolled her eyes as she picked up her sniper rifle and placed it against her back while she caught up to the two. She wonders what Ivy was planning on taking out the Nevermore. Lilith knew that Ivy was someone of vast secrets, techniques, unpredictability, and even strategies. Like the perfectly made military weapon, except that's not what Ivy is.
"What's the plan on talking out this dumb bird?" Rosalina asked as they made their way back to where they once were.
There they stood at a cliff, about two thousand miles below them was something. The sky has turned cloudy and it looked as if it was going to rain. The Nevermore was still circling the same spot it has spotted them. It didn't seem to notice the massive fucking black feather held in Ivy's robotic hand but ya know, birds!
"Get its attention on you two and try to make its eyes towards me, and I'll try to get this into its skull," Ivy said nonchalantly as if this was something a normal person could do. She turned towards the two behind her. "And please don't bicker, I hate to see someone injured because of me."
Lilith and Rosalina stared at each other before giving each other a death glare. They both crossed their arms as they moved towards a different side of the cliff, both of them didn't even start talking about how they were going to attract the Nevermore's attention.
"They're not gonna have fun," Omega said in Ivy's mind.
'Nope, not at all,' Ivy respond. She shifted her footing, her left foot out while her right was turned to the side. She waited until the Nevermore's attention was on the two girls.
Bang bang, bang bang.
Four shots rang out as the Nevermore faltered back before diving straight towards the two girls. Lilith unscoped her sniper as she pulled out her pistol and started firing at the talons; she wanted to weaken the talon so they would avoid getting got into them. Rosalina continued to fire at the bird's head before hearing clicks; she ran out of bullets already.
A whistling sound echoed quietly before making a thud against the Nevermore's left eye, the feather that was once part of the bird's body was returned in the bird's eye. Ivy smiled happily as she pulled quickly created a copy of the feather and threw it in the chest area of the bird, hoping to hit a possible lung.
Whistling, Lilith was impressed by Ivy's accuracy without using any scope or help. Well, maybe Omega helped her. Lilith watched as the Nevermore started to fall over them, she pick her gun to her side as she prepared herself to jump on the bird's talon.
"Jump with me!" Lilith yelled as she timed her jump just a little too early but she was able to grab onto one of the bird's talons and pull herself up. Rosalina followed suit as she almost fell off the talon and into the abyss.
"Wanna jump them?" Omega asked.
Ivy, who was all the way against a tree, was putting as much strength into her legs as she propelled herself forward. Her body softly hitting against the Nevermore's feathers. She quickly adjusted herself before making her way down close to the leg of the Nevermore's talons, she helped the two girls up on somewhat balance ground as they slowly descended into a different place of the forest, closer to more people.
--------------------------------------------------
"Hey look!" a young boy with short blonde hair and blue eyes, stared at the descending Nevermore. His vision wasn't great but he could see three heads popping out of the Nevermore's feathers.
"The hell?" another boy cursed at the Nevermore. His eyes were black along with his hair, the most classic anime boy.
There were four other students that were also staring at the falling Nevermore. They instinctively moved away from the falling Nevermore, gathering the artifacts they were able to find in the ruins as it crashed into the hardened ground and slowly disappeared into dust, revealing three bodies. One standing while the two others were laying flat on their stomachs.
