"If it's going to help us through this, nothing you could ask would be too much for me." To my surprise, she just threw a smile in my direction. It seems Pyrrha noticed my hesitation enough to catch on to what I was thinking. It was bad enough that all eight of us were already in danger at this point, but part of me was practically retching at the thought of asking someone to open themselves to possibly getting ripped to shreds by that Death Stalker's pincers. we're most likely going to need a distraction if we're going to pull this off." I hate to ask this of you, especially considering I would rather be the one to do it, but. This, honestly, was probably going to be the most daunting part of this plan, and a big part of why if it fails, it's going to be resting on my own conscience. I just rolled my eyes at the nickname, but didn't see fit to reply to it before I glanced to Pyrrha. Ruby took a moment to think that one through, before she gave a nod to it. "Don't care how you do it, as long as it gets the job done, and you're safe." "You mean, shoot that stinger off? Or something?" "Ruby, while we're doing that, there any chance you can do something about that stinger? I don't remember if there's anything especially concerning about that stinger, but I'd rather not find out the hard way that there is." The possibility of a Death Stalker being able to poison someone with that stinger was too excruciating in my mind to dismiss completely. "Strength's not what I excel in, but I can't think up anything else we could do to better our chances."Ĭomment noted in mind, I turned to Ruby, noting the sounds of the Death Stalker getting louder. The raven-haired woman took only a moment for that to register in her mind before giving a reluctant nod. It's going to be a bit of a struggle, but if we can do that, once Weiss does what she needs to, we'll have it pinned down." "Blake, you think you could help me set the initial touches of the immobilization while Weiss uses that Ice Dust? Best I'm thinking is maybe tangle some of that Grimm's legs with our weapons. "We can work around that." I glance over to Blake. But I don't think that alone is going to do the trick for us. Which, in all seriousness, I probably did in fact do just that. Weiss just looked at me as if I had just asked a stupid question. "You have any Ice Dust on you by chance? I think our best strategy is immobilizing that Death Stalker, and then capitalizing on that moment to pound it into the dirt with what we've got." Quelling that troubling thought, I looked specifically to Weiss. "This is going to be resting on my conscience if this goes horribly." I breathed deeply before looking to the group of seven present with me. Most likely through its decaying remains. we needed to get past this Death Stalker. Now, to return to the cliff-side alive and with our respective relics.Īnd to do that. And with that, each of us had an objective complete. Blake and Ruby respectively went to grab a knight piece for their partnerships. I opted to go for that one, grabbing it with my right hand and setting it inside a tailcoat pocket. There was still a queen piece remaining after Nora took that other one. I didn't waste time walking up to where the relics were.
