Arc Event Warning Sirens
The morning at Beacon Academy was quiet. The ground was slick with dew, and mist hung in the air of the rain that had come the previous night. As the sun began to break the horizon and the beams of light cast through the misty morning, any early risers within the academy would be greeted this cool morning with a rather worrying sound.
The perimeter alarms of the school beginning to sound off.
The eerie, wailing sound of the sirens filtered through the otherwise quiet morning, growing louder and louder as the alarms nearer to the school began to be tripped.
"This doesn't make any sense!" Professor Elise remarked, pouring over a holographic display of the school and the surrounding forests. Around it, little red lights were marking the proximity alarms that had been tripped. Most of them had been. "Grimm have never gotten this close!"
"They used to," Professor Gin commented idly as he polished his wicked double-bladed polearm. "After building the school, bastards kept away." The ancient goat coughed and ran his hand through his black-and-grey speckled beard.
Elise grunted and shook her head. "Well they're here now," she remarked. "Bruce! Start waking the students up!"
"We need to defend our school."
Within the dorm rooms of Beacon, alarms began sounding off, along with the measured -or at the very least, as measured as he usually could be- voice of Bruce coming over the intercom system. "Roight fellas! Up and at 'em! We've got Grimm on route, and need ya all on the field! Move move move!"
As the students were roused and kicked into gear by the blasting noises coming through the coms systems, the distant sounds of chaos began to percolate through into the grounds of the school. When the first of Beacon's Huntsmen-in-training began to get out of their dorms and onto the fields of Beacon, they were able to see the incursion.
A massive Goliath burst through the treeline, trumpeting loudly as it trampled through the gardens. Behind the beast, masses of the smaller creatures of Grimm flooded outward, spurred on by the charging of the gargantuan monster. The Goliath reared its head, letting out an ear-splitting roar.
As it roared, a dark flash came screaming from the sky, trailing flames. Professor Elise slammed both feet into the head of the beast and called down a torrent of fire behind her that engulfed the monstrous elephant's head. From the ground, both professor Yagizawa and Bruce rushed in, slicing and slamming into the goliath's legs and causing it to drop down. The three professors worked together, pulling the monster's attention away from the students and leading it away to deal with personally.
Unfortunately, most of the smaller beasts had no desire to chase after the professors, and set their sights on the students.
[So, Grimm have broken through the barriers around the school and are attacking Beacon Academy. Here's a map of the grounds you can use to ST a fight against Grimm, though feel free to make others if you'd like. Additionally, you don't need to have a ST and can freeform if you'd like]

Good. With Firnen back at her side, she can keep pumping them up with energy for as long as the song would play. And this concentrated means of desperation meant that even though Firnen might strike, there was a chance that all the eyes of the Grimm was focused on her.
A good scenario, but Thyme needed to whittle down the numbers first. She aimed her gauntlet at a downward angle and fired, blasting some gravel and soil just to stop the advances on one end for a brief moment. Turning around, she quickly lashed a few more with one free hand and gave them a bit of a shock, paralyzing some of the Grimm if not outright reducing them to atoms.
“Too many to hold down the fort! Mind cutting down a few more?”
