Akena grinned as her gambit proved successful, the duo charging at her given pause, but her smile was quickly replaced with an inquisitive frown as the downed grimm seemed to empower the others on death. If course it couldn't just be as simple as killing all of them. The more they downed, the stronger they would get. So, they'd need to...what, exactly? Take out multiple at once? And also...Something caught her eye, a glint of metal on the largest grimm. A key! A plan slowly started to come together.<br/><br/>"If we just take out one at a time, we'll get overwhelmed when the last few become stronger." Akena recalled the orb, and lit it ablaze once again. There was one grimm with it's eyes trained on her, but she wasn't sure if it was going to charge just yet. Perhaps her having downed one was giving it pause? Or so she hoped, she wasn't too confident in her close-combat skills. Akena stepped next to Shiro, now firmly gazing at the alpha of the pack. She had never considered herself much of a leader, but any plan was better than none. Akena found that trying to talk through the problem helped distract her from the life-threatening danger. "We should try to get rid of the big one and grab the key! Red, try to cover us. Glasses, work with me here - if you can trip up the big one, I can nail it."<br/><br/>She used the fire dust energy she had absorbed with ignition earlier and empowered the orb to a higher magnitude. The metal never seemed to glow with heat, or burn, or deform, regardless of stress. Nyx Astra was curious, and Akena still didn't know exactly how her weapon worked. It responded to her movements when she wore the bracelets, but why, exactly? Akena settled into a martial arts stance, and took a deep breath, ready to throw a punch. The orb hovered in front of her. This part still made no sense to her, but it worked. Her bracelets vibrated, giving off a high-pitched humming. Akena stepped forward, exhaled sharply, and punched the fiery orb. Just before her fist touched it, Nyx Astra fired off, heading straight for the largest wolf.
