"Yeah that's our cue alright. Hold onto something" Helena said as she twisted the Stormreader away from the mansion. The proximity alarm let out a shrill series of beeps to indicate the location of the newly detected object relative to the pilot and Helena spared a look above, watching for the movement and anticipating how to evade an attack. The Bane of Valoren had finally returned home from its hunt in the storm and they were far too close to its nest for it not to attack them. Helena's decision to stick to the cliff almost proved to be their end when the Stormreader was struck by a sudden burst of downward wind that almost sent them slamming into the rockface. Helena thankfully knew how to handle the sudden blast with a quick half rolling turn to create more distance while moving with the blast of wind the giant Grimm had hit them with.

Helena spared a look to their surroundings to see if the beast had flung any feathers at them but apparently the Grimm had yet to unleash its full range of deadly attacks, being as old as it was it was probably smart enough to gauge the new threat before attacking with all its might, now if they could get away quickly enough that it wouldn’t bother with a follow up that would be best.

The motion detector alarm was the quick response to that hopeful thought as new objects headed for them at ballistic speeds. Helena tilted the craft again, letting most of the spear-like feathers glance off the now sloped armour but each evasion of the Grimm attacks took more of her leeway with the buildings below them away, and approaching downtown again the skyline became more crowded with higher structures.

“Let’s hope it just wants us out of here rather than do a little more hunting” the alarm sounded again and Helena dipped low to the building level, ducking behind the husk of a building that had long ago had a partial collapse, It stopped some of the feather projectiles and by the sound of it the attack had toppled the remaining walls. Helena had ducked through two more narrow corners before the sound of shattering brick and hard impacts on metal had stopped.

Helena held her focus on piloting a few silent moments longer before watching the skies with her own eyes again, and letting out a sigh of relief. in the distance the shape of the Grimm circled over the fortified mansion again, satisfied its territory had been secured from interlopers. “Okay… Okay. I think we’re in the clear. You two better get some sleep, I’ll get finish the report and handle the handoff, after that we’ll head home”
