The sound of gunshots filled the air. Team JNRR were fighting the Nuckelavee, a terrifying Grimm that once destroyed Ren's home village. The memories of such still haunting him. The whole team was at it's mercy, all four being thrown away from it. The group stood up, every one of them breathing heavily, to see the Nuckelavee reveal it's monstrous form to them again from the smoke

First, the horse body positioned itself in front of them. The head giving quick breaths, the smoke being visible from it's nostrils. Then, the fingers of it's long, lanky arms twitched and curled inwards. The upper body of the Nuckelavee quickly shooting up from it's limp position and giving a screech that seemed to shock the air around them

The Nuckelavee's upper body then lay looking up for a second, only to crack it's shoulders forward. The head soon jolted forward as well, to where it looked at the ground. The Nuckelavee then eyed off Team JNRR, only to turn it's head to the injured and unconscious Qrow that lay against the tree. Jaune noticed and was the first to act

Quickly sheathing the blade Crocea Mors, he ran over to Qrow, the Nuckelavee reacting as well. It threw one of it's lanky arms out and it stretched to slam against the ground where Jaune ran. Luckily Jaune managed to avoid it and continue running to Qrow. The Nuckelavee returned it's arm and began charging at Jaune who had only just begun to lift Qrow up

Jaune watched in anticipation as the Nuckelavee charged at him with no way for him to protect himself. Nora quickly looked to Ren, and he took a deep breath before placing a hand on the floor and activating his Semblance. Jaune and Qrow began to lose their colour, and the Nuckelavee stopped in it's tracks, unable to see them

Jaune looked over to Ren in shock, and he raised his head to yell

Ren: just get him to safety!

Jaune began to help Qrow make it to a safe place as they fought. Nora began firing rounds to draw the Nuckelavee's attention. The shots all hit the Nuckelavee's body, and it screamed in pain. The Nuckelavee then charged towards the others. Jaune made his way out of sight behind a building, the colour slowly returning to him and Qrow

Jaune placed Qrow down at the building and looked to get back in the fight. With one more look at Qrow, Jaune turned to leave, but his hand was grabbed by Qrow. Jaune looked back down to Qrow to see his eyes. It was clear to Jaune that he was concerned for them. However, Qrow's strength quickly ran dry, and Jaune ran out of his reach to help fight

Ruby used Crescent Rose to shoot herself up but was quickly grabbed and slammed to the ground by the Nuckelavee's long arm. Nora ran over to find an opening, only to be hit by the other lanky arm. The Nuckelavee recalled it's arms to feel several shots hit it's back. Ren began to circle the Grimm and continuously fire at it

The Nuckelavee sent both of it's arms out and grabbed Stormflower. Ren holding it at bay

Jaune: Guys! Keep moving, go in a circle!

Nora fired another round at the Nuckelavee's back, distracting it from it's struggle with Ren. The Nuckelavee let go of Stormflower and Ren circled it again while firing. Ruby, Ren, and Nora all ran in a circle around the Grimm as they fired, the Nuckelavee not able to grab or hit any of them. Eventually, Jaune ran in, slicing at one of it's legs

The Nuckelavee's horse body roared in pain, then looked back and kicked Jaune next to Ruby. Ruby stopped to give Jaune time to get up, aiming Crescent Rose at the Nuckelavee. Ren and Nora continued to fire at the Grimm as Jaune stood up again. To Ruby's surprise, Jaune sheathed the blade of Crocea Mors once again
