Haru was grinning.
"Handshadow Art: Flying Dove." Haru said to himself as he saw the other people all falling towards the ground. Haru moved his hands together with a grin on his face, but instead of a handsign like he used to make as a ninja, now he was moving his hands and making a shadow puppet dove out of them.
Crimson hands came out of his back and stretched under him.
Then it happened, the large hands changed their shape and mimicked what he was doing. His hands became a giant dove underneath him, and down on the ground below his shadow showed that it looked like a giant dove in the sky. Haru stood on top of the hands, before he flapped the wings of the giant dove by making his hands flap his fingers. Haru instantly started to actually fly, not long falling with style, through the air as he rode on top of his hand dove.
Handshadow Art —Haru's unique, and mostly secret, style that lets him easily control his Semblance to make it imitate his hands or different reasons. He called it the Handshadow art, because the shadow of his hands would always look like what he was having them pretend to be.
Haru started his slow descent towards the ground, aiming for the clearing in the distance where he could make a base of sorts. If he had a wide open area, then he would be able to set up traps for Grimm. Haru separated his hands, and sucked his arms back into his body as he landed on the ground. Haru took a few steps, before he heard the sound of explosions and saw Yang pass by overhead and continue to sail through the trees by using her weapon as a boost.
He sighed in relief.
She hadn't seen him.
"Gotta find him, gotta find him, gotta find him!" Ruby yelled in near panic as she rushed towards the area that she was sure that she had seen Haru land. She had been surprised when she had seen Haru riding on top of a giant shadow puppet, but then she had reasoned that with his unique Semblance that he was constantly making up new techniques. They were HANDS, so why not use hands like they could be used.
"He is making this almost TOO easy." Weiss said as she jogged towards when she saw Haru touch down, she wasn't going to stress herself over this. She would take it easy, and then she would make sure that she got Pyrrha as soon as possible. She figured that Pyrrha would be looking for Haru, making it even easier for her in the long run. After all, just looking at the two of them she could see they had a strong relationship... an unknown relationship, but a strong one.
It was extremely obvious Pyrrha had a thing for Haru.
It was also easy to see that Haru was unsure of his feelings for Pyrrha.
They would look for each other, and that would lead to her finding both of them for her dream team.
"Okay, so Nora landed somewhere over there... and Haru landed over there... looks like it is Nora I'm after." Ren said as he walked towards the direction that he was sure that he had seen Nora fall towards. He had seen what Haru had done, so he was sure that multiple people would be heading towards Haru at the moment. That would just make getting him too hard for him to bother, even more so when he might meet up with somebody before meeting Haru.
Just the search for Haru made finding Haru less likely, because nearly everyone was looking for him.
You were MORE likely to find another person searching, than you were to find—
"Boop." Nora said as she appeared in front of him and touched his nose. Ren smiled for a second, before he sighed.
Okay, NOW they would find Haru.
"Gotta find Haru, gotta find Haru, gotta find Haru!"
"What was that?" Blake questioned when she heard the sound of somebody running, shouting something near the top of her lungs. Blake had landed without any problems at all, but the cut down tree that she had used to slow herself would say otherwise. Blake looked around, but she blinked when she noticed something red on a collision course with her.
"Gotta FIND—AH!?" Ruby shouted when she slammed right into Blake and knocked them to the ground. Blake looked down at Ruby, while the girl was still falling into her.
Their lips met.
Now I have kissed ALL 3 siblings... I don't know what to... this is my partner. Blake thought with a sigh as she pushed Ruby off of her. Ruby wasn't even fazed by the kiss, most likely because she simply didn't care about it.
"So... partner?" Ruby asked with her hand raised up nervously.
Blake only smirked at her in amusement, before turning and walking towards where she had seen the other half of the twins land.
"Shit... I think I passed him." Yang said with a groan as she looked around. She had no clue where she was, or where Haru was. She just knew that he landed on the ground before she did, and she passed him so he was in the direction that she had travelled. Yang palmed her face in annoyance as she started to walk back the way she came. She had KNOWN that she should have been paying more attention, instead of just having fun flying through the air by the recoil of her weapon.
"Help... somebody get me down from this tree." Yang heard the sound of Vomit boy calling out from not very far away.
Nope. Yang thought to herself with a grin. She placed her family above people she didn't know. So she walked away without a second thought as she travelled where she had thought Haru to be.
"Okay, so I threw my weapon that way to help that Jaune fellow... but Haru went... that way... hmm... I do need my weapon, but getting it means I team up with Jaune instead of Haru... and that Haru will most likely be taken." Pyrrha figured as she looked towards two opposite directions. She had seen Haru land in a clearing in the distance, she could actually see him from her location on top of the tree. She had a clear view of Haru, and the fact he was with nobody at the moment.
Nobody had teamed up with him yet.
At the same time, she could see Weiss, Yang, Ruby and Blake, and Ren and Nora moving towards his location.
Several other people had already teamed up together even further away in the distance, and several people were in combat with a group of Grimm... low ranked ones since the Grimm were being handled well.
She couldn't see Jaune, but she had heard him thank her for pinning him to a tree to stop him from hitting the ground.
Currently, Blake and Ruby are the closest... with Ren and Nora taking their time about it.
Yang had passed Jaune without looking in his direction.
Pyrrha jumped out of the tree, before she touched the ground and started running as fast as she could in Haru's direction.
"I am stuck... in a tree... somebody save me already." Jaune said with a self-disappointed look on his face. His face lit up with a bright smile when he heard the sound of a person rustling through the bushes.
He saw Weiss Schnee.
"... You aren't who I was looking for... this is a disappointment." Weiss said with an annoyed look on her face when she made eye contact with Jaune. She was palming her face, before she looked up at Jaune. They said they were monitoring the test, so she couldn't just pretend that she hadn't seen him. At the same time... just one look at the tall blond showed that he wasn't the best fighter. He needed to be saved, couldn't come up with his own landing strategy... and he couldn't get himself down from a tree... when the ONLY thing pinning him there was a spear thrown by most likely Pyrrha.
She was partnered with Jaune.
Her dream team had died in her mind.
She might be able to salvage the situation—
"What was that?" Jaune asked, interrupting her thoughts when something burst out of the trees and ran RIGHT by them.
"Was that a velociraptor?" Weiss asked with her jaw dropped. She had JUST seen something about as tall as a human, but with a long reptilian body... it was without hair and scaly... and it had two short arms with powerful legs with a single long claw on each foot.
"Aren't dinosaurs supposed to be extinct?" Jaune asked, before the spear came unwedged and he was dropped onto the floor.
"Was that a Velociraptor that just passed me?" Yang asked with her jaw dropped at what she had just seen running past her.
"I don't know, but it looks like we are partners now." She heard the sound of somebody behind her, and her eyebrow twitched when she saw Pyrrha standing there with a small smile on her face.
"Are you a Velociraptor?" Haru asked when he stared down the meat eating dinosaur eye to green eye. Haru was scratching his head, while one of his aura arms held the dinosaur in front of him. It was looking at him curiously, while Haru saw something around its neck. Haru let the beast down, before he reached forward and placed his hand on top of the raptor's snout. The beast shook his hand off, before Haru sent it a deadpan look.
"Attack me and die, see if I won't do it." Haru told it, before he plucked something golden from the raptor.
Rex
"Your name is Rex? That sounds... weird... you are a velociraptor." Haru commented, before the raptor gave him a deadpan, annoyed, yet somehow happy stare.
Weird.
