Aurum's eyes narrowed, their usual brown glowing gold instead as he sized up the girl, Fatebreaker raised and forward in his right hand as Faithkeeper hung seemingly loose in his lefthanded grip. "We're way more dangerous when we're together like this.  You're outclassed an' outnumbered." His grin, which had faded at Vale's jab, came back. "You oughtta surrender now, while you've got th' chance."

Vale rushed in instead, and Aurum's grin turned into a snarl. "Enguard!"

Aurum met the first strike with his buckler, bringing his sword forward and low to deflect her leg sweep and countering with a point-blank shot to Vale's shoulder that she rolled under to his right. She struck at his back, but was intercepted by Cerise's high-kick, followed up by the girl's dagger swinging for her arm. Vale parried the dagger with her own weapon, spinning behind Cerise to try and strike her neck - but she was interrupted by an arrow from Celeste, forcing her to dodge back toward Aurum, who blocked her attempted uppercut with his blade, kicking her back and firing Fatebreaker at her.

This time, the round caught her in the shoulder. Her Aura deflected most of it, but the force still sent her reeling back. She was about to reengage, but Ash swung Leonidus' Cross at her head and forced her to duck under it. She used her semblance to leap up to the ceiling, but Ash's own kicked in and launched him to her height, where he knocked her back down toward Aurum and Cerise.

Vale dodged Aurum's shot from Fatebreaker and Cerise's low swing from Shadowsong, then flipped back out of combat range.

Ash took the forward position, his gun levelled in the direction of Selena and Vale, with Aurum at his right with Leonidus' Cross pulled back out to his right parallel to the ground. Behind and to the left of Aurum, Cerise had Shadowsong levelled in gun form at the two, and Celeste had an arrow knocked to Silver Artemis behind them - though she left it slack.

One-on-one, any of them might lose, but when the four of them were together, it was all Vale could do to escape unscathed. Combined with their classmates, the two criminals could only run.

Unfortunately, the Beacon students were worn down enough that giving chase would likely be out of the question.

"What's wrong?" Aurum taunted with a playful grin, "givng up so soon?" His breathing was strained despite his words - Vale was fast, and he had not stopped his semblance out of paranoia of Selena's tricks.

Ash stood quietly, watching as Estelle brought Lyko back to his senses. Unfortunately, that meant Selena and Vale had the perfect chance to get away.

(not sure if I matched you guys or not, but there it is.  :)  )
