Merel looked out behind the car as her eyesight started to adjust to the light levels. Nights were never completely dark, the stars and moon made sure of that and while her eyes were not as good as that of a Faunus she still could see the shapes and shades of faint grey, and a lot of movement behind the car. Hellcats could traverse rough terrain quickly, but not as fast as over a dirt road so even they had to adjust to begin catching up to the car. "Alice, I can see a group still chasing us, is that all of em or are there more further out keeping pace?" she didn't know exactly how hellcats hunted but it made sense to expect some would be clever enough to try and cut them off or flank them.

The first dark shapes started to get closer, wild black manes and bone skulls more visible in the faint starlight than anything else, at least that made it easier for Merel to aim her blaster, pretty much everything else was conspiring against her. still trying to not get caught on the front seats with her weapon and now that they were off the road there were sudden jolts that even the car's improved suspension could not counter completely. it took her a moment to get a good firing position but when she was certain Merel pulled the trigger and blue blasts of dust energy spat from the open rear window into the pursuing Grimm.

The speed of this pursuit helped a great deal in removing any injured hellcats from the chase, they were fast but not that durable, and even a glancing blow would encase part of them in ice and completely throw them off ballance, tumbling out of sight in a mess of broken limbs and shards of ice. But it was starting to get harder for merel to land shots now that they were on rough terrain, the Grimm were clever enough to leap out of her shots if they had enough time to react and while in a normal fight against beowulves she'd cut them down in swathes now it was more deliberate work picking them off only a handful at a time. by the sound of it Alice had by now also found some targets to shoot at, but Merel kept focussed on her own role for now. Hopefully they wouldn't run into even more groups of hellcats this way...
