Anna just continued mauling dozen after dozen of the tiny buggers. Their movements seemed a bit odd - not going exactly towards them - but that was the only abnormal thing she noticed. Seeing as Calen had her back, she throttled down her semblance a bit, pulsing from second to third stage every so often to keep on top of the situation.

Besides, laying waste to the enemy like this was incredibly exhilarating in its own special, perhaps twisted way.

Setsuna deflected Calen's quip with a slight wave of his hand, the other already holding up Taro. Man was he heavy. Feeling a slight twinge of respect for Calen being able to carry three people down with his semblance, there was no way that he couldn't at least keep Taro safe. Pulling his sword out from it's place on his hip, he shuffled the deadweight on his left shoulder and charged up, ready to rush straight in and wipe the path clean. "When I go pink-reddish, wait for me to clear the path, then rush through the gap. I'll stay behind you guys and cover your backside, since Calen has the light."

He stayed still for a few more moments, then abruptly surged forward, his body and aura turning the aforementioned color, disemboweling everything that jumped in his face with his increased speed. He wasn't sure if the light coming from his body was attracting the Grimm; if it was, he was a better target, thus hopefully keeping the others safe. Slicing through even more of the endless horde, he hoped the others were already moving so he could retreat safely.

Calen barely looked up when Setsuna raced off and instead kept himself busy by slowly advancing alone the path his leader had created trying to keep it clear. Getting more and more into his rhythm Calen made mincemeat out of his opponents with a lethal dance of quick strikes and graceful foot work. Setsuna’s rush had other affects to, splitting the Grimm lines created the illusion that the hoard was decreasing. Some Grimm did turn their attention to Setsuna as the light caused by his semblance drew them in but not enough to seriously lessen the hoard.

With light sources moving closer and closer to the exit tunnel seemed to narrow substantially and it looks like further along the hunters-in-training would have to crouch to get through it. Also as the team got closer, evidence of past human inhabitation becomes apparent with ruined foundations sticking out of the walls and ground too precisely carved to be natural. Even wall paintings telling the fall of the settlement which before were discounted as odd colouring of the rock became apparent.

A mistake with his footing on the uneven ground almost sent Calen scrambling on the floor but swinging his arms to maintain balance did cause Anna’s scroll to collide with a Grimm sending it flying towards Setsuna or more accurately the Grimm swarming Setsuna. It was still functional upon landing but wouldn’t stay that way for long if the mini-Death Stalkers had their way with it.

Anna  vaguely nodded an acknowledgment at Setsuna's plan before focusing on whatever Grimm would come from behind, mauling dozens upon dozens of the damned things with every swing. As she crouched to get into the tunnel, still spinning her myriad blades with gleeful abandon, she noticed her scroll was sent flying. Well, it wasn't like she actually used the thing, anyway. Still, she'd prefer to get to it before it became unusable.

...Not like she could speed up at the moment, though.

Gritting his teeth at the physical strain, Setsuna spun around in a glowing circle of death, every movement leaving glowing afterimages that would be disorienting to any viewer, his blade swirling and dancing in and out. This couldn't last for long, though--his left shoulder was screaming under the weight of both his shield and his unconscious teammate.

It really didn't help when the sole source of light was sent flying toward him, undoubtedly portraying him as a tasty snack. Groaning inwardly, he made an attempt to kick the scroll away, while backing up under the pressure of the overwhelming horde, still avoiding the chains that Anna seemed to be flinging around, and keeping more of those things off him in an endless repetition of swish-swish-stab. He was aiming to eventually deliver both his load and the scroll (hopefully still functional) through the tunnel while simultaneously keeping himself safe. Much, much easier said than done.

Even though his aura prevent any real damage to the ankle Calen still had to bite back a curse as the pain rocketed through his leg. Stumbling forward Calen saw the scroll go flying and leaped forward with his semblance to intercept the still mostly functioning device. The light seemed to flicker randomly as if some of the internal cabling had become loose. Making his way over to Setsuna because Calen knew his team mate's semblance had to be running out soon and Anna seemed to be doing fine by herself. Team ASTC was making reasonable progress and had gotten to the mouth of the tunnel and it was quickly getting tighter, only able to go through one at a time. The good news was that the Grimm swarm was only coming from one direction and being funnelled into the tunnel made them easier to deal with.

Grunting in annoyance as part of his suit was caught an exposed piece of masonry Calen smashed the closest Grimm into the wall and the entire cavern shook with small pieces of debris crashing down. Not enough to cause damage to the hunters-in-training but the falling dust(normal dust not explosive dust) clouds did disguise the students some what and the Grimm hoard started to slow; the light being filtered through the cloud was harder to track, the debris which couldn't hurt the students could hurt them and their simply wasn't as many as before. With the passage where the hunters-in-training would have to crawl through coming up the respite would be valuable as who knows what else is waiting in the caverns below.

Anna continued swinging her chains, though as she got closer to the tunnel's mouth, she switched from her more normal horizontal slashes to slightly helicoidal ones, which became gradually even more pronounced. There was so much things being shredded and flung about, it was insane.

She waited until all her teammates made it through the tunnel safely before giving one final big swing and lunging in herself, her chains trailing behind her.

Geez, Anna really needed to rope in her tendencies to fling that chain around like a maniac. Using the cover provided by her wide swipes, he lowered Taro from his shoulder and edged him inside, before dropping to his knees and crawling through himself. Once Anna was through as well, he dropped his semblance and promptly collapsed on the floor, gasping for air like he'd just been drowned. His sight was blurry, he was dripping sweat from that engagement, and his shoulder was literally on fire. Despite this, he started edging forward at a snail's pace, knowing Anna was behind him. He had to fight the urge to just conk out though.

Initially wanting to go through the tunnel last because his semblance would allow him to slip through quickly but Calen saw that Anna was having her.... fun and decided to crawl in after Setsuna. Patting his leader on the back as he collapsed in front of him for encouragement and a genuine show of respect Calen sheathed his weapons and heaved both downed team members on to a shoulder each. Looking around at the new cavern it was substantially different than the last. It had clearly less Grimm traffic with the evidence of human in habitation being far more prominent, with if not intact reasonably structurally secure buildings still crowding the cave floor. Deciding on a building near by to hold up and rest, as much for himself as his teammate although Calen of course would never admit to that.

With the buildings more intact small evidences of home life came into view, small statues which could be anything from garden gnomes to shrines, tattered remains of curtains and sheets  and even children toys lying scattered around. Another thing that quickly became apparent was as the team moved further into the caves the air was getting staler, not enough to cause serious concern but a constant pressure on particularly Setuna's and Calen's lungs as they tried to recover from the fights above.

Most of the Grimm swarm didn't follow the hunters-in-training and the whole caves went strangely quite, a dripping of a liquid far too thick to be water echoed through out the area. Half collapsing into a heap Calen none to gentle dumped whoever he was carrying on the ground and waited until Anna caught up.

When Anna made it safely past the tunnel, she took precautionary measures. Pulling a knife from her sash and inserting an Ice Dust phial, she threw it at the entrance, creating a thick wall of ice that completely sealed it.

She then throttled down her semblance to first stage, sat down besides the wall and started digging out her knife with another one, chipping away at the block she'd just created. "I'll be with you guys in a bit, just need to... relax a bit..."

The pain was on the verge of starting, she could feel it. She'd need to rest for several minutes, if not outright half an hour or more before feeling refreshed.

Powerless to do more than moan something illegible and shift slightly, Setsuna lay like a sack of limp potatoes on Calen's shoulder, still feeling drained yet grateful to Calen for his kind gesture. That view was slightly lessened when he landed on the floor, eliciting a sharp gasp of pain. Nevertheless, he lay on the floor, both thankful for the respite but also struggling to breath in enough air.

After a few moments on his back starring aimlessly at the roof Calen sat up, closed his eyes and tried to meditate. Taking in the stale air Calen calmed down his breathing but he could never truly relax, the horrors of what must have happened here played out in his mind as he took ques from the claw marks and ruined walls. It got to the point where the stories in his mind forced Calen to choke back a scream. Stumbling to his feat Calen kept his face down cast so no one could see his tears and slung off his pack. Reaching inside, the boy took out two pastries and some water and passed them gently to his downed team mates. The pastries were soft enough, slightly warm, to be easily bitten through but still not doughy enough to be a trouble chewing and full of enough honey, nuts and dried fruit to give his team mates a bit of an energy boost.

In an attempt to keep his mind busy Calen continued walking about, leaving the light by Setsuna as he didn't want to see any more of the ruins. Although the swarm had stopped there was still danger around. Medium sized death stalkers roamed around the ruins but them seemed strangely passive even around light compared to mindless swarms in the previous cavern. They would still attack if they caught one of the students but the ruins are so large and the Grimm so few that simply staying still would likely avoid most of them. Of course Calen wasn't staying still but a fight would be the best way to get his mind off the death soaked ruins around him. The sounds of fighting, metal on chitin and chitin on stone soon spread through the cavern as Calen made slowly growing circles around his two resting team mates.

Building a map of the area in his mind Calen started to notice that a lot of the building seemed to have sealed doors in the floor, some even have remained sealed. More to keep himself busy after a lull in Grimm activity Calen decided to report back and check on his team mates.

(This came up in the staff chat about darker elements being used in threads. I promise it, in my opinion, won't be anything too gruesome and definitely won't be gory but if either of you don't like how the thread is developing please just say so and I can cut the rest out.)

(Mate, I draw the line at rape. It's fine, I tells ya)

After five-odd minutes, Anna successfully pulled her knife out of the ice. After putting both weapons back in her sash, she slowly, gently rolled up her chains around her forearms, ensuring that they were tight and taught before getting up, flashing her semblance's second stage and walking over to the light.

The headache wasn't showing its face yet, and she hoped it'd stay that way.

Pulling himself into a sitting position, Setsuna nibbled at the pastry. It was fantastic, full of sugary goodness--just the thing he needed after that brutal stretch. While not fully recuperated, he was able to look around and see more than just a blurry canvas of color. Only then did he notice the wall paintings, signs of civilisation and carvings. They had to be old since he hadn't heard mention of the Forever Fall forest being home to anything but Grimm. It also didn't take a genius to realise what had happened to the previous residents.

With both teammates converging on his position, Setsuna decided to take a step back (well, mentally) and assess the situation. "Regarding our original mission," he spoke, his voice raspy from dehydration, "I think we've found the ruins. However, seeing as we're one man down, we should finish this as soon as possible and seek medical assistance." His expression starting to fill with worry, he glanced at the unconscious Taro. "Can we do anything to help him right now?"

'I could make a tea or a salve which should help. I gathered the herbs while looking for you guys before and there is plenty of scrap for a fire but I don't think that's a good idea given how stuffy the cave is already.' Calen remarked flippantly as he dusted himself off and otherwise straightened out his appearance. 'So as I see it we have two options; we could keep moving on and hope we either complete the mission or get to an evacuation point before before Taro expires or we might be able to find some supplies in town. I felt some hatches in the floors, might be worth checking out if we are sticking around. Calen continued, his tone only getting more and more grating. Although Calen knew no damage could have been done to the suit through his aura but he still spent a lot of time looking over the suit making sure the buttons and stitching was all still immaculate to enhance his smug aura.

Taro was stable, falling poorly on a rock had knocked him out and as long as he had air to breath he should be fine. Brain trauma is difficult to scale with an unconscious person but there was no reason to think Taro couldn't recover at any moment. Remaining standing Calen leans on his weapon in it's glaive form and made a subtle show of being frustrated at how long his team was  taking to make a decision.
