Atlanta finally stepped into action.. a little too late as she got a front row view of Vega decimating the vast majority of the Yellow Zone. However, that wasn't really her priority as she sprinted precariously past the remaining students and leapt over roaring monsters into the Red Zone where a girl was desperately trying to save an injured Hunter.

She had expected some reckless student to charge into battle, but not to go directly to the area she had warned them not to enter! Then again... Teens could be particularly reckless, as she well knew. So, the aurae did not blame them that much.

Twirling her spear, Atlanta spun up into the air, appreciating the new vantage point. Orthus loomed before her, the immediate threat to two of her charges. Even if one of them was a snooty girl who seemed to think the world belonged to her, she wasn't about to let these... beast dictate if they lived or died.

"So, we meet again, mutt." Without spending any time saying any fancy speeches, the wind nymph became a blur of activity, slashing away viciously at his snout, gashes forming alongside old scars she had inflicted in the past with Callisto by her side.

The hound howled in agonized fury, infuriated beyond belief. In that precious moment, the moment where Atalanta should have been more focused on protecting herself, she looked back over her shoulder to see the two girls enter the Orange Zone, which wasn't nearly as safe as the Yellow Zone, but was infinitely safer than the Red. She allowed herself a moment of relief....

.... but wasn't at all prepared for the claws that raked her chest, cutting deep into her mostly immaterial flesh.

It took a lot to kill a nymph. Especially an insubstantial one like an aurae. They were pretty much immortal for the most part, their lifespans comparable to a Hunter's. In fact, Atalanta had always assumed the day she would die would be beside her friend Callisto in glorious combat or dying in her sleep, surrounded by her friends and family (the ones that were too alive anyway).

But as Atalanta fell slowly, grip loosening on her favored spear, shocked expression on her face, it didn't seem like any of those expectations were going to be filled. The Fates had an excellent sense of humor. She thought ruefully, drifting away even as she plummeted to her final resting place.

She also didn't expect one of her students to suddenly catch her mid-fall, flying away from the brother of Hade's guard dog as fast as the Hunter's wings could take her. Feeble, the wind nymph looked up into the face of an owl, one that only lived to guard the lives of people who needed her protection.

"You're very light, Coach. Lighter than you should be. I think you could die, and no of us want that." There was no concern at all for the woman in Nascha's tone. No emotion. It was as if the owl was dead.

She landed outside of the Yellow Zone, the smell of carnage reaching both of them. Atalanta could barely move as she was handed over to Ixchel, the medic, who could possibly help her before she faded into mist. Nascha sprinted back into the Yellow Zone to help ferry her other allies, who had minor to moderate injuries.

Laurel was groaning, parts of his skin peeling off like bark from his own thermokinetic abilities. The arsonphobic looked the worse for wear, tufts of hair missing and various burns trailing up and down his body.

"You look horrible, Tree Guy." Nova noted, gashes cut into her skin, marring her pretty complexion. She didn't seem bothered, dragging him along. Selene, however, looked the most unaffected of the bunch, only minor scrapes and cuts adorning her form: understandable since she was hardly in any danger as an opposing wolf. "I'm rather inclined to sample some of these carcasses, but scavenging is in poor form." She commented nonchalantly, hanging back to assist Milo if needed.

Advanced Survival seemed to have taken a turn for the worse.

((BLOOD, BLOOD, GALLONS OF THE STUFF. XD Your MCR quotes had an effect, it seems.))
