(Ah! My eyes!)

Upon reaching the arc of her flight path, Zhu-li activated Alaska, fashioning a large rectangular slab of flat ice. It was a crude, but adequate parachute. Air resistance slowed her fall until she was certain of not dying if/when she crashed.

But it would still hurt like hell. Yep, crashing is bad.

With that in mind, she positioned the block beneath her feet, and harpooned a nearby tree, almost tearing her arm from it's socket. The girl and oversized ice cube were pulled off course, into the branches where the ice shielded her from tearing foiliage.

She skidded along a branch until the block was airborne again, then harpooned the next tree and skidded into it. And the next. And the next. Effectively surfing her way through the various branches and leaves. ''I just invented a new extreme sport. ''

Until she slowed enough to hop off and pull herself onto the limb of a large tree. Her arm was numb, and her aura slighly worn from the crashes, but Zhu-li was alive. Thank God.

"AAARRRGHHH!!!!!" followed by a deafening BOOM!, frighteningly close.

''What was that? ''She turned to the sound panickedly.

Then the world shook, and she was falling...

(Ten seconds ago:)

".....Ah! Shit! God dam- ! Ah! Fuck! You! Nature! AARRGHHH!!!!"...

Each curse coincided with Dawn smashing through another tree, Titaness held ahead of her like a battering ram. Each time her arms jarred violently with the shock, stressing her and slowly building up her semblance for the final release.

The last tree she faced was also one of the thickest. The old redwood had to be at least 500 years old, standing proudly over the forest, as generations of Hunters began ther journey, fighting and dying in the forest while it watched silently...

Until it met Dawn. Five centuries of growth laid to waste in one devestating punch. The trunk shattered into toothpick sized splinters, effectively toppling the massive tree and crushing the surroundings for many meters.

But it also served as an emergency brake. Dawn picked herself out from a pile of splinters and sawdust, coughing loudly from inhalation. She looked back at the trail of crushed trees marking her path through the woods, with the cliff where she started out in the distance.

Dawn angrily pumped her fist in the cliff's direction. "At least warn a girl before you do that kinda shit!" she roared to Ozpin, though he obviously couldnt hear her.

Huffing mad, she grabbed her shield, brushed splinters off it and angrily stormed through the woods, never noticing another girl nearby stunned by the fallen tree.
