Seikatsu Mirai
1679762529804.png

Rowan's barrier would be very useful and succeed at creating space between Mirai and the robot mutt. The student gasped as the pain surged through him, but the weight of the dog removed allowed him to breathe more easily. "Thank you." He said softly as rowan pulled him away. He was bleeding pretty badly from the wounds the dog had given him, but he showed no signs of losing consciousness. "We need to run." Mirai managed to say in a strained voice.


The Alchemist
1679762642426.png

The Alchemist, as he was known in the villain world and to heroes and law enforcement, watched the scene from behind a crowd of people with smug grin on his face. Darius' scan of him would reveal that the man had the ability to reshape metal. Chibi's bold assault caused the crowd the erupt in a panic and they began to scatter as her enlarged fist made its way toward them, but some people were not fast enough and were plowed down by the fox. The Alchemist's eyes shot open, surprised by her quirk. "An elastic fox?" He questioned before he followed the panicking crowd and jumped back from her attack. "What on earth is one of the Skulker Sisters doing here?!" He called out to Chibi, declaring her affiliation with the family of thieves.

Hiko's quirk would come in handy, but he would find that attempting to hack or corrupt the machine was no easy feat. Though simple in design, the software was far more complex and the programs running the hound were well-guarded. Several defensive programs were in place to protect it from people such as Hiko, but it's defenses weren't impervious, it would just take some time. Moby and Remy had joined Chibi's charge into battle and the Alchemist looked on with curiosity as the tiny machines whirled through the air. "A marvel, I am impressed." He declared before he turned away and started to run. "A little help would be nice." The Alchemist said softly into his communicator.

Zesh would find she'd have a hard time trying to break into the hound as it's body had no seams. There were no bolts or screws to be undone, no panels to pop open, and on top of that, it's exterior was not made of some cheap metal that her claws could puncture or dent. While it's computing power was slowed by Hiko's attempt to corrupt it, the dog was still very much a threat. With Mirai now removed from it's grasp, the dog focused on the rat. Without warning it took off towards the nearest wall, running headfirst into the wall with no hesitation, slamming into the structure with Zesh on board.

Hearing the cry for help from his partner, The Secretary, let out a groan. "Disappointing." He raised four fingers in front of his mask and rotated them so that he could see Chibi, Moby and Remy, and Rowan. Then with a deep breath his mask started to glow brighter and brighter until three separate beams burst forth from his mask. One traveled toward Rowan, aiming for center mass while another shot towards Chibi, aimed for her giant fist. The last beam targeted Remy and Moby, who could only be save by their master, otherwise they would be blindsided.

Murasaki headed straight for the man in the red attire. As she moved, something seemed to surround her. She didn't know what the hell was happening, but it didn't slow her down, so she ignored it. Had make this guy pay first. The crowd screamed and ran as she pushed through them. Sure the metal attack dog and exploding gamestore don't get them moving, but the tiny pink haired fox girl? Why did everyone have an aversion to her? She brought her hand down swiftly toward the man but he stepped to the side, dodging her swings, asking what she was doing here. "I WAS HAVING A MOMENT WITH MY BOYFRIEND TILL YOU TWO TRIED TO BLOW HIM UP! NOW HOLD STILL, DAMNIT, SO I CAN KILL YOU!" Suddenly, another volley of beams erupted from across the mall, one of them slamming into her hand. The impact shattered the barrier and sent her spiraling through the air, back into the game store through the missing window, bashing her head on the frame as she went. As she reoriented herself, she saw she was laying at Darius's feet. "Baka gaijin, you need to get out of here. This isn't like playing hero with me at the arcade, these guys want you dead. See if there's a back door, I'll keep them busy." She struggled to stand up, but got there. Impacts didn't seem to have much of a lasting effect on her, but they still hurt like hell.

Rowan Thorn
rowan.jpg
Rowan pulled Mirai away from the dog, pulling him behind a bookshelf before crouching behind it herself, peering out to scope out the battlefield. Shit, the sniper was too far away to just block him, so she would have to manage her barriers accordingly.

"We're too embroiled in the battle now to just run. Help us if you can. IF not, then get civilians out of here and hide. Anything you can do to help would be welcomed." Rowan told Mirai, creating a barrier in front of herself and Mirai, feeling the tick of time as her powers were used up.

At least the breaking of Murasaki's barrier gave her time to put a new barrier up somewhere else- around the dog's legs, hopefully to trip it up so Hiko had more time to work on it. At least the barrier from earlier was still up, so if Hiko directed Remy and Moby to hide behind it, they had a decent chance of survival. Mirai and herself had something to hide behind, where she could help if possible.
 
Zesh
1679970034594.png

Zesh would struggle to try and open up this metal dog, although to no avail, it was too strong and tightly constructed. Zesh grabbed onto the head and try to move it around to either break it off or turn it but to no avail as well. She even was looking at it, " How does this dog-animal open up? " Zesh would ask herself, she pounded on the metal, but it still did nothing. Although as it moved around to throw Zesh off, she held on tightly as it ran into the wall to try and get her off. Zesh would hit the wall and grunt in pain but no! She must prevail! Her arm and body were sore now, but she looked around to try and find something she could create into a leash. But then she saw a console, looked like one of those Xboxes, a 360 as the kids called it. She had an idea! She remembers kids threw theirs down a drainpipe she was in long ago and they complained about a red ring! Zesh looked over to Hiko, he was smart! And so was Zesh! They could create something from the console! Zesh would leap from the dogs back to the laying console, she picked it up the instant she landed next to it. Zesh held it in one hand before looking to Hiko, " Hey, boy-thing, Hiko! Help me make a Red Ring thing from this box! " Zesh called, " We can try to stop it with a creation-thing! " Zesh tried to sound smart, but it still came out Rat like.

Zesh would look back to the dog and slowly move towards Hiko while holding the xbox, well they would need to open it up anyways, but then she saw a barrier appear around it's legs. That was perfect! Zesh then turned to Hiko and ran straight to him with the console, " Let's make a weapon thing! Put it down or make it stop-freeze! Like a virus-infection, the Red Ring virus these consoles had! We can make something like that. " Zesh tried to explain as she put it on the ground and opened it up very easily, Zesh looked around in it, it had components, they could make something. " Can you help-assist please? " Zesh asked kindly.

There was certainly too much to focus on right now and after Zesh went tumbling into a display, she wanted his help making a red ring of death weapon from an Xbox? He couldn’t hack the dog and do that but while he was making progress, it wasn’t fast enough. This wasn’t like the robots at school that were made for him to be able to hack within reasonable bounds. He glanced out at Moby and Remy just in time to make them dodge a beam that would probably fry their circuitry if not totally melt them. It didn’t look like a Pro Hero was coming anytime soon despite his emergency beacons.

Splitting them, Remy flew to help Rowan, the little white robot putting the taser away. “Rowan, we need to get out of here! Remy will help you with Mirai!” He called back as Moby started trying to shock the dog with his little taser, flying back whenever it attacked. “Zesh, I’ll make a gun out of that for you to tweak, I don’t know what your plan is exactly but I can make it work.” He held his hand out and the parts started to rearrange themselves. He was a technopath, he didn’t just communicate with computers, he manipulated technology itself so reshaping an Xbox was child’s play to him. “You still need a power source. I left the electrical plug intact for you. Just plug it in to the wall and you should have enough juice once you’ve made your tweaks. Pop in a game to the tray once your done and hit the power switch to turn it on.”
 
Darius Blackwood
1676447242442.png
Darius saw Murasaki run at the man, his eyes widening as she was blown back by the beam, seeing explosions rocking the store, feeling his heartbeat starting to beat faster, his clothes and back revealed, showing a pitch black tattoo of a crying lion on his back, as he turned to look at the man in the rafters, his Battle Eye scanning the man, as Darius started to feel his pulse rising more and more, panicking at his first experience with someone truly trying to kill him, his hand starting to clutch a tendril of water that shaped itself into a sawblade, twirling his arm twice like a discus throw before throwing the sawblade towards the man in the rafters, his eyes starting to turn black in the sclera from what those around him could see.

The Huntress Hero, Howl
1680121138225.png

The hospital had been hell for her; glaring up at ceiling tiles for hours on end, bouncing from that to her phone and then to the tiles on the floor. She was a restless woman, and even more so when it came to being told to remain in bed for another day. It had given her enough time to ruminate on her mistakes fighting Newt. Jezebel's face coming across her memory like a refreshing spring in a scorned desert. She was a hero, yet didn't consider herself one because of the circumstances. It was a story she heard often since Recompense was the exact kind of person she often scouted for The Pack. She had texted Valentine more often then she usually did, making sure that HQ was taken care of. Valentine kept insisting she rest the entire time, but he knew better than anyone what kind of stubborn void he was yelling into with that.

'Grand Tokyo Mall is being attacked by villains--Fighting with what appears to be students!-'

A beep beginning to whine as she tore from her monitoring equipment and stood to her full height, eye glued to the TV for only a moment longer before she texted Valentine.

Cannt wait any longr going tothe grand tokyo mall. Villains attckng, send Nichirei and Comatose to help damage contrl

She swore at her large thumbs butchering her already strained vocabulary, but hoped it was understood. Her nurse attempting to stop her, but Sasha only smiled and told her not to worry.
A small crowd gathering at the entrance of the hospital as she strolled out onto the nice and warm sidewalk. She didn't have time to waste, she only hoped she wouldn't be too late.




There were still dozens of civilians scrambling to escape from the carnage around the video game store as beams of energy assaulted it's storefront; glass and debris sputtering onto the once immaculate floors. A pair of kids trying to escape from the video game store, ducking as Chibi was thrown through the open window, peeking over to see another of these beams hurdling toward them. A large form smashing through the windowed ceilings of the mall, landing in front of the window and obscuring their vision with a muscular furred back.

8611929b413e5f2fe59453520ac101b8.jpg
Howl grabbing a bench and turning it into a makeshift shield as the beam collided with her. Smoke soon dissipating and found she held her own just fine, a black scorch mark across her chest fur, dropping the remaining pieces of the bench. She said, looking back inside the store where she saw the pair of kids and several others that looked to be students of some sort. One using some kind of shield while a weird dog one tore apart an xbox. They are all trying to help in their own ways, to save others and their friends.

"Looks like I got here in time, I want you all to run. Da?- please don't-"

Darius' sawblades being caught by her long, clawed fingers in flashy of reaction time, and despite the ferocity in her voice, sounded more proud. her good eye bright and yellow as she continued to look forward toward helmet head

"Let me handle it, malen'kiy. Get your friends out, da? I'll pretend I didn't see dat, but...good hero work"

She said a grin and wink, before lurching forward. A wave of force being left behind as she sprinted on all fours. Darius noticing a hospital gown slowly float down from the ceiling she came from.

Howl didn't have any of her support gear, but it's not like she ever needed it before. She was naked in a blizzard for years in russia "strength training" her father called it. It was one of the only things she ever wanted to thank him for. She vanished underneath the rafters The Secretary was under, and he had only moments to react to his unfortunate situation as a lupin fist blaster out from underneath him. A howl piercing the air throughout the mall, one of anger, and defiance

"You would target children? Spineless scum like you are my favorite"

her body like a dozer as it chewed through the mall's infrastructure like sturdy butter. Her arms attempting to go around his waist and pull him into A suplex through the hole she just created. A mid-air move of hers she improvised given the vast interior of this mall. A high plummeting suplex that put many of the villains in her day, in the hurt locker.

"Solar Suplex!"
 
The Secretary
1680322684583.png


Howl's flashy entrance did caught the attention of everyone present, civilians, law enforcement, and villains alike. The Secretary grit his teeth at the sight of the Pro-Hero. This had taken too long and now their plans were ruined. While the smoke cleared on Howl, he turned his attention towards his partner in crime, only to see that the man was running. "Where are you going?!" He should have known working with another assassin was a bad idea and now he would pay the price for having a coward for a partner. While he had taken his eyes off Howl, the hero managed to catch him off guard. His eyes went downward as the woman broke through the mall to grab hold of him.

Everything seemed to happen in an instant as before he knew it her arms were around his waist and he was leaving the floor. "Holy crap!!!" His voice rang out over the mall for the briefest of moments before a loud crashed cut it off. His head slammed against the floor, shattering his mask and revealing his face underneath. His body went limp, becoming almost like a ragdoll as the attack stunned him and left him nonresponsive.

The Alchemist
1680323558129.png

Seeing the teamwork of the students, The Alchemist knew that he would need to kill them all just to complete the contract, which was fine with him. But then came the unexpected, a hero. They had planned to be gone before any heroes ever showed up, but things were dragging on. He was paying attention and watched the hero make her move, that was when he made his own. Turning away he quickly ran into the jewelry store that was across from the game shop. Right away he activated his quirk and the entirety of the store started to rattle. The cases of jewelry shook and vibrated until the rings, necklaces and every piece of silver or gold surged with lightning.

The precious metals were warped and molded together, twisting and weaving their way around one another. He slammed his hands on the ground and the lightning surged brighter, forcing the metal to take its final form. The Alchemist threw his hand forward and the metal surged out of the jewelry shop towards the game store in a sharp wave, like a blade sliding across the floor.

Chibi was the first victim of the metal blade, losing a few strand of her pink locks as it raced by her. Then it cut through the bookshelf which Rowan and Mirai hid behind.

Seikatsu Mirai
1680324465427.png

Mirai didn't agree with Rowan, he thought they could escape if they focused on that instead of fighting, but he couldn't argue with the others right now. Instead he needed to think about how he could protect them. Part of him said he should just run out there and challenge their attackers, but he knew he'd be cut down in no time by professional villains. But seeing a hero arrive on the scene was definitely a confidence boost. Now none of them would have to fight or be involved, there was no doubt she'd save them.

"This is our chance to escape now, Rowan." Mirai declared concisely as he turned to look at his classmate. That was when the sound of the metal grinding against metal started to echo into the store. Almost right away the sound was followed by the destruction of the bookcase in front of them and Mirai couldn't help but to act on instinct. He shoved Rowan with his body, throwing himself against her to force her to move.

The World would move in slow motion for would seemed like ten minutes. The amalgamation of jewelry rent Mirai's flesh as it passed through his right bicep and then his torso. Resuming regular speed, his blood dropped out of him as his body hit the floor in three different pieces. The pale-skinned student lay on the floor, his eyes filling with tears and blood oozed from his lips. "Argjh!" A cry of agony filled the store before he clenched his teeth and silenced himself.

"I got him!" Came a cry of victory from the jewelry store as The Alchemist celebrated hitting his target.
 
Zesh
1680578511460.png

Zesh watched intently as Hiko worked his magic on this console, her eyes almost couldn't believe it...! He was moving stuff with his mind!? " Oh my god... " Zesh stated with amazement. Her eyes wide under her goggles, she actually had to pull them off and rub her eyes before applying them back on again to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. Even in the face of danger and adversity, she was still her rat self, nothing else mattered right now besides this makeshift Red Ring console gun thingy mabob and Hiko's ability to move it without much effort. Zesh was very shocked as the console gun was then given to her, " How did you perform-execute that? " Zesh asked with a smile on her face, her eyes had widen as if she was almost in love. " I can do something similar-like that. " Zesh placed the gun on the floor and stared at it intensely for a few moments before her hands went to work, her mind became blank as she began to take parts off and reapply them elsewhere, although she did it at a very quick pace as she squeaked quietly to herself like she was talking to herself.

Quickly the console gun Hiko had created had been drastically changed, it looked like it wouldn't work as Zesh looked very tired suddenly. " Zesh very sleepy-tired... " The rat stated to Hiko just as she reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a small baggie with a white powder, Zesh then opened the bag and dumped some on her hand before she placed her nose on the powder and inhaled quickly, her eyes quickly widen before they were consumed by her pupils, her mouth opened as she drooled, " I feel the lightning in my ovaries-privates! " The rat yelled as she jumped up and picked up the gun, she smiled and ran over to the counter rolling over it where a plug in was at where she plugged the gun in, she was almost shivering, but it was just her hopped up on drugs, what she called Rat-Crack! Zesh grabbed a disc from a random xbox case, looking at it she read... Well, nothing, she couldn't read. But what it said was Left 4 Dead 2, Zesh popped the disc into the xbox, plugged it in then pressed the power button where it made a boo-boo-beep sound. The Red Ring bursted to life and circled around in a constant motion, Zesh held the gun to the side and slapped the side of it like a MP5 before she aimed at the trapped metal dog and began rapid firing at it. Zesh's eyes were lighting up as the xbox gun thingy mabob was firing a small red energy at the dog, almost like laser beams, but they were small red rings of death (to any known appliance.) Zesh was laughing maniacally as she unleashed the power of technopath and Rat technology. Hopefully this would put the metal dog in a vegetated state, like a virus infecting a computer to a slow crawl.

Murasaki watched wide eyed as Darius formed a saw blade of water and hurled it at the man on the higher floor. Since when could he do that? Suddenly the saw blade was snatched out the air by... a woman werwolf?! Terror filled her as Howl smiled and spoke words of encouragement to the kids before leaping across the mall to fight one of the villains. A hero was on scene and if Howl realized who she was, she'd have to take her in. She had to get out of here. But she couldn't just leave Darius. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly, looking him in the eyes. "Darius, please, we need to run. Let's just get out of here, okay? Howl's here now, she can handle it, we can go while we have the chance." A whistling sound filled the air. Murasaki turned to see where it was coming from, when something flew past her, severing some of her hair as it went. She watched in horror as the object made it through the bookshelf and trisected one of the other students. She stared at him wide eyed as he lay there in segments, bleeding. What the hell was happening? She had been so happy earlier when she ran into Darius, and now it was like she was in a nightmare. She started to breathe heavily, panicking at the chaos around her. What if that been Darius who had gotten hit? She turned back to him with tears in her eyes. "Please can we go?"

Rowan Thorn
rowan.jpg
Frankly, some wild stuff was happening in this battle, including watching Zesh snort some sort of crack, which was a concern for the future. Though the bigger problem was getting everyone out of there alive and in one piece.

The red-suit man then stole the jewelry from the next store, shaping it and throwing it at them with his quirk. Rowan hunkered down, prepared to take the hit when Mirai jumped in front of her, taking the metal meant for her.

At Mirai's cries of pain, rage surged through Rowan, causing her to picture using her power on the Alchemist- wanting to grasp his head in a force field, choking him out for hurting Mirai and Murasaki- but they were outclassed pretty heavily. Even if this hero took on the shooter, they still had this red-suit man and the metal dog to contend with. Mirai didnt' seem to be ready to fight at this point, Murasaki was hurt, and Darius was attacking. If everyone had been attacking then she wouldn't have hesitated to go for the man. But the need to protect Mirai was stronger than her need for revenge. She could always fight dirty when the more vulnerable members of their party were out of harm's way.
Rowan helped Mirai to his feet, dragging him to the staircase and forcing him to go down stairs. She refused to keep using him as a meat shield, giving him a whispered "go" to prompt him to move out of the way. She flattened herself as best as she could, angling a shield in front of her to give her cover before placing a shield near the other four still in the store to give them cover if they decided to run. The shield by the dog was taken down, to conserve what she had left- which at least half of her reserves seemed to be gone in what felt like a blink of an eye. Though hopefully the others would decide to run, or would decide to even further attack this asshole, who came her to murder for no visible reason. Hopefully, Hiko, Zesh, Murasaki and Darius either decided to band together to fight the man instead of being separated, or decided to run for safety.
 
Kukigawa Takehiko

IMG_0072.jpg
Takehiko felt good about the gun he helped Zesh make though he decided in an instant he never wanted to associate with Zesh ever again once she seemed to inhale a handful of crack and screamed about her ovaries-privates. It simply couldn't be worth it, could it?

He felt immense relief once Howl had shown up. A Hero was here! They could focus on regrouping and escaping! He just needed to help Zesh long enough to get this dog off their backs! He could do that himself without being harmed by Zesh's gun whereas he worried what it would do to Moby. Recalling the little black robot, he sent it to help Rowan move Mirai. The two little robots could help her lift him if he could hold onto them. With that, he turned his ear fins back to the dog, flaring them wide and digging back into the systems as he ran forwards. "Come on! You're after me now!" He shouted as Zesh was firing like a maniac. He could tell that he was slowing it down with his hacking but there was no way he was coming out unscathed.

Moby and Remy were on their own autonomous routines right now, able to monitor their own environments without his direct control which is the only reason Remy didn't get cleaved by the jewelry saw that rent Mirai into three pieces. "Dammit! Mirai! Rowan!" He wanted to run over but couldn't abandon Zesh. After class, he'd downloaded the dossier of everyone's quirks from their class roster so he knew Mirai probably wasn't actually dead but it was... sickening to see.

While Rowan took the big chunk, Moby and Remy took the other two pieces and followed Rowan so he could begin reforming as the man in the red suit cheered. Hiko turned back to the dog. "Sorry, Zesh. I don't want this guy to leave with more than he came with. Total Blackout!" He shouted, holding his hands out and shutting off all technology within his effective radius. It was a last-ditch effort to shut down that stupid dog that might not work but it would certainly shut off Zesh's gun at least until she restarted it.

( LadyOfStars LadyOfStars leaving it up to your discretion what his effective range is and if he succeeds on the dog due to its firewalls)
 
Darius Blackwood
1676447242442.png
Darius saw the hero catch his saw blade, starting to take a few deep breaths, the ink in his eyes starting to recede as he calmed down, nodding at Howl and looking at her. "There was another guy who ran down that way, he can shape metal and stuff." He said, pointing down the hallway, before looking at Chibi, seeing her pleas to him, the black coating his eyes had fading entirely as he placed his hands on her shoulders, looking her in the eye. "I understand what you mean Saki. But I can't just leave my friends to die, if I can do something to help them, I have to. But don't worry, no one will ever hurt you, I'll keep you all safe." He said, before running over to her and throwing her over his shoulder, a skate board made of ice appearing beneath his feet as he started to skate off towards the other students, running like the hero told him to do with his girlfriend over his shoulder. "We just need to get out of the mall, but we shouldn't go too far, we don't know if people are waiting for us outside too."

He kept close to the others, an active look of disgust on his face when Zesh spoke, before shaking his head, a shield made of ice appearing on his arm to block any wayward attacks that may come at last minute from the assassins. "Alright, do you need any help mirai? Like, do you need to push your halves together or something?" He asked softly, looking at his friend keeping Chibi firmly in his arm.

The Huntress Hero, Howl

Always remember that rage is a powerful tool, for soldiers, for heroes, for warriors fighting for a cause. It requires focus in order to know when and how long to stoke such flames, lest you'd be consumed-

Howl steeled herself as she made contact with the ground, blurred ruddy vision becoming crystal clear now as she saw her foe crumpled and unconscious. The lives of those children and many in the surrounding area who hadn't already fled, were still counting on her. Dust and debris raining around her as time slowed to a crawl. She didn't have any of her gear so cuffs were out of the question and instead bent a scattered piece of rebar around his legs to subdue him for the time being.

A blast of...metal? fired from the jewelry store and barraged the video game store; Anger shimmering and molding into focus as she trusted young students such as them to be okay; she had to think that way, otherwise she'd likely kill this fool. There had been a few close calls in her career that had given her more than her fair share of grief given her 'excessive' techniques, but when it came to unknown quirks and their users, she left nothing to chance.

Howl could see movement in the video game store, and was relieved to see the children surviving, fleeing as another one of their friends was firing some strange device at a...metal dog? It was then that the lights around them suddenly shut off, suspending her and the others in complete darkness. She didn't know if it was the children or some unforeseen backup, but it was the perfect zag to her zig, and she grasped the opportunity.

"Sensory Scout"

She breathed, choosing her sense of smell as trails of different scent lit up the perpetual black she was in. A pungent smell of rodent, fox, and human sweat emanated from the video game store while oil and silver was stark in the store that blast came from. She ducked low on all fours as she came at him like a beast rather than a woman. It was the perks of being in complete shadow as she didn't worry about personal appearance. The alchemist hearing her snarls as she clattered her claws across glass, clearing the shattered window into the store. That blast of his looked like a nasty customer, and she didn't want to test herself against that if she could help it. The alchemist hearing the shifting of more glass only moments before Howl's full weight slammed into him. A kick beginning to send him up into the ceiling before her legs then hooked around his head.

"Karambit Contender"

Her famous scissor kick batting him into the ground with a force that caused the remaining unscathed windows to erupt. She gave it a bit more force than she gave the other guy, wanting to be sure and confident he wouldn't outright die. Howl having to pull her feet out of the ground before immediately picking up the alchemist' limp body, sniffing out the secretary and scooping him up in the other arm

"Why were you trying to kill dem-" She muttered bitterly, wondering why the hell anyone would target children, when the lights finally came back on. Howl was toting the two villains, looking for something to bind red suit, and found a hand rail she bent around his arms.

"You're all safe now!, but please stand clear of falling rocks and glass"
 
The Alchemist

While the metal canine was an advanced piece of technology and studry materials, no machine could outwit a technopath and an elevated intelligence that worked alongside one another. The machine struggled against the trap the students had caught it in and thrashed about, damaging the nearby wall with its body again and again. Just when it seemed to be gaining momentum, Zesh's contraption locked onto it. The energy fired at the canine was absorbed by it's metal frame and almost immediately started to wreak havoc on it's hardware. Wire casings started to melt as did the case where the motherboard and other important parts were housed. But it wasn't until Hiko stepped in and reinforced Zesh's attack that the robot would come to a stand still. Under such heavy assault internally and externally, the canine was overwhelmed and unable to prioritize its physical wellbeing or its digital existence. But as Hiko used Total Blackout, the choice was taken from the machine. With exposed components and a compromised system the dog was vulnerable to even the weakest technopath's influence and like the lights and other electronics that surrounded them, it shut down. The silver dog crashed to the ground in a loud thud, the sound of its engines and various parts powering down could be heard like a soft hum.


The man stood no chance against Howl and in the dark he barely knew she was coming. He had been more distrated by his canine being downed by some children, which both impressed and annoyed him. But that sensation was quickly suppressed by the pain he felt when the werewolf woman flipped him and put him in the ground. He groaned in pain despite being semi-unconscious and as he was dragged out of the store everything seemed to spin. He heard Howl's voice but couldn't make out the words and he didn't see the secretary move at all. "She's gonna have my ass for this." He mumbled in a dazed voice.

Seikatsu Mirai

Mirai could barely think straight as the pain surged through his body and he tried to keep from choking on his own blood. He could barely follow along with what was going on, but he did see that Rowan stayed by his side and Hiko's robots assisted in them making an escape to the nearby staircase. Even though one robot had to drag his arm and the other dragged his lower half, Mirai was beyond grateful for their help in what could have been a rather tricky situation for him. With their help the pieces of his body were realigned, but he would need to reconnect them. Luckily Darius showed up when he did. "Y-Yeah...some ice...would hold." He strained to say while he pointed at the divides in his body. "I don't know...If I can...walk after..." Exhaustion darkened Mirai's face as his quirk started to drain his stamina.

Reinforcements
1680907460915.pngWhen the lights lit the mall back up everyone would see police finally arrive on the seen with medical personnel and the heroes of the Yarn Ball Hero Agency. Onyx Tiger towered over fleeing civilians and law enforcement as he scanned the first floor, but found no immediate threats. He then glanced up to the second floor where he spotted Howl and her criminals already apprehended. The ground cracked beneath his feet for a moment before the muscular hero launched himself into the air, clearing the railing of the second floor and landing beside Howl with a heavy thud. "I thought you were recovering." He taunted behind his mask while withdrawing two sets of cuffs from his pockets. "Well done."

1680907424866.pngBlack Cat was drawn to the scent of blood and hurried to the scene where the students had gathered on the staircase. They all seemed to be in good condition, with the exception of one who he wanted to say was not even alive, but he could see otherwise. "I need medics to the western stairs leading to the second floor. I have wounded children and...one in critical condition." He said softly into his comm. "Is anyone else heart beyond a few bumps and bruises?" He asked as he looked at the children.

Hiko had to stop and breathe for a few moments. Who knew using a flashy move would be so tiring on the first day of school? Everything seemed under control now and the hero seemed to have gotten both villains. Flicking his ear fins, he could tell Moby and Remy were successful in transporting the other pieces of Mirai. Everything was good. He recalled Moby, the little black robot coming back to get a scan of the dog and download a copy of the mechanical dog's software on the secondary drive specifically for collecting new software for Hiko to fiddle with. Once the cops showed up, the dog would be taken in as a weapon so this was his only chance. Poor Zesh would be mad that she couldn't take it.

"Come on, Zesh, let's go meet up with the others." The police were already swarming in and would have the place on lockdown. Without waiting, he went to the stairwell, able to follow after Moby who took him right to Remy. It was still an unsettling and gruesome sight to see Mirai putting himself back together. So much blood. Still, there wasn't anything they could do to help him.

When Black Cat appeared, Hiko stood up to talk to him. Right now wasn't any place for his emotions, he needed to be pragmatic and explain to the Hero the best he could. "He's regenerating with his quirk, I think they were here to kill him. I don't think any of us are too badly hurt besides Mirai. Rowan, are you hurt at all?" He turned to her. "You were right by him when that blade came in."

The Huntress Hero, Howl
Sasha breathed a sigh of relief as the lights flickered back on; her form sizzling away in steam as she reverted back to a barely clothed form; snatching the alchemist's cloak and wrapping it around herself like a toga; wincing as her broken stitches starting to immediately bleed through. She had been too reckless and opened up her previous wounds, but she didn't have much of a choice. She didn't think twice when she saw those kids. That didn't stop it from hurting like hell. Her eye catching the immediate presence of reinforcements, and the Yarn Ball Hero Agency. It was a new sort of nature in this concrete jungle, where wolves and cats relied on one another.

When Onyx landed in front of her, it was like seeing an old soldier she had fought with on the battlefield. Their agencies having a history together as Howl was always fond of their direct tactics. She dropped the two villains and outstretched her arm as she went to grip his forearm in respect.

"I'm stubborn da?, Saw de news coverage and here I am. Valentine got some sort of ping from de game store, odderwise it would have been too late." She said, gruff and in strained Japanese

She looked back down there before looking between the two she had dropped unceremoniously

"Dey were targeting someone in de store, all I saw were children in dere and didn't have to think much after that. Dis one shoots lasers from his face, and dis one uhh...shoots gold lasers" She said, not so confident on the second explanation as she only saw the blast from outside the building moments before the lights went out. It was quite obvious she had intense disdain for their choice of targets or collateral damage. Onyx knowing her agency well enough to know it was full of miscreants, rag tag outsiders, and orphans she was quite fond of. Children were something she took very seriously. Her gaze akin to a mother wolf as she watched the many children who had been at the mall today leave scared, but with their lives.

"It is my choice, and so, I will always be dere for dem. De heroes I've worked with over de years have taught me alot. Vertushka, handsome man, and great mentor. He is probably on way any as we speak" She said fondly, laughing as she took her moment of rest "Help me carry one da? I think I pulled something"
 
Zesh

Just as Zesh had started firing the Xboxial Console gun at the metal dog, she would see it had deactivated and fell over, the large rat ran her way over to it with widen eyes just as her gun had unplugged out of the outlet it was attached to, making it useless besides being a blunt object weapon that was as sturdy as an actual gaming console. Although as Zesh got close to the metal dog thing, she would see that quickly that she wouldn't be able to do anything to the dog, she could barely hear her name being called as her mind quickly thought of things, she could do to get access into this metal dog's insides. She would hear her name clearly and quickly turned her head seeing Hiko standing there, Zesh's eyes were wide under her goggles while she looked at her fellow friend.

Hiko would state that they would have to meet with the others, " But... I want-take the metal dog! " Zesh complained while holding her hand out at the object. Although she would follow Hiko by herself having a very sad expression on her face. She still held her Xboxial Console gun in both hands while hanging her head sadly almost like she was crying, Black Cat would ask if anyone was hurt, Zesh then pulled out a small red piece of plastic from her jacket, " They kill-murdered my baby. " Zesh couldn't contain her tears as she took her goggles off after dropping her gun onto the ground, wiping her tears. " His name was Rat-Jackal 01. He was only alive for 4.7 seconds before he was lasered beamed and he told me to run-dodge before he was turned into only this. " Zesh continued the best she could, wiping her tears while there was still white 'powder' on her muzzle, just under her nostrils. " I want them to pay-atone... " Zesh held her goggles in one hand with the small red plastic piece in the other, her eyes were still dilated but she looked calm before she yawned. " I have to nap-sleep. " Zesh stated as she then fell backwards onto her back, passing out as she quietly snored, her quirk drawback had kicked in finally and was having to recover from using her real intellect that surpassed her rat brain. Zesh looked like she was more at peace as she slept, still gripping both her piece of plastic and goggles.

Murasaki wanted to argue with him. She wanted to tell him to leave his friends and save himself. But she couldn't. He was going to be a hero. All she could do was decide then and there that as long as he was doing his best to protect others, she'd do her best to protect him. As Darius lifted her onto his shoulder, all the remnants of the fear and anxiety left her immediately. "BA-BAKA GAIJIN?! P-Put me down. W-what are you doing?" He suddenly headed out of the store with her on a skate board made of ice. As she lay there over his shoulder, only one thought crossed her mind. Holy fuck my boyfriends cool. She smiled and quit protesting. She'd let him have this one. She enjoyed her ride right up until Black Cat showed up. Another fucking hero?! She put her hands over her ears and tried not to draw attention to herself, hanging over Darius's shoulder.

Black Cat & Onyx Tiger
1680907424866-png.1079356

Listening to Hiko speak, Black Cat found himself impressed by the boy's attention to the situation and his classmates, as well as his imitative. Apparently the other boy was recovering from his wounds and normally that would be the end of his responsibility to the group, but they were children and he was the Pro. "I'm...." Before he could speak, Zesh began rambling on about her...toy? An unliving casualty of th attack, how odd. "I'm glad you all are safe. I'm sure that was quite nerve wracking, but you're in good hands now. I know you are recovering with your quirk, but everyone still needs to stop by the medics before we let you head home." Black Cat insisted as his eyes moved from Mirai to the other faces in the group.

That was when he saw the pink-haired girl and his eyes narrowed behind his visor. Her scent matched that of another vulpine quirk he'd encountered in the past. He was left to wonder what the connection was and what she was doing here. "Come on, we'll move as a group." His gold claws gleamed as he raised his left hand and gestured down the stairs. At the same time, a pair of medics arrived on the scene with a stretcher and both were taken aback by Mirai's state.

Onyx Tiger returned the forearm grab that Howl greeted him with, as he always did, and listened to her speak. It took some effort due to her accent and struggle with the language, but he didn't mind. Howl was a good person and her own efforts spoke volumes to him. He noticed the bleeding that darkened her new toga and right away he shook his head at her hap hazardous approach to hero work. But he couldn't carry on scolding her for the situation had been dire and she did what any of them would have done.

As she explained the incident and the villains, Onyx Tiger recalled what he knew of the two from his own research. Which was nothing of the Alchemist, but he knew The Secretary was an agent of the Free Ravens. And almost as if by fate, Howl brough up a lost soul. Onyx's heart beat in his chest a little slower and his hands found their way to his hips, resting there momentarily. "Pinwheel is...dead, Sasha." He whispered to the woman before his feline mask opened up to reveal a somber expression and tears that threatened to fall. "Come on...I'll fill you in." He grabbed the two villains, one in each hand and nodded towards the nearby elevator that was still functioning.

Seikatsu Mirai

As the medics bandaged Mirai up to hold his parts together, they loaded him up onto the stretcher. They did a quick assessment of everyone else and their conditions and that was when Mirai saw Roawn throw Zesh over her shoulder. He wasn't sure if that really happened or not because the pain he was in had clouded his mind, but he was pretty sure he saw that happen. The group traveled with Black Cat to the street where medical stations had been set up for quick response. Mirai wanted to tell the paramedics that he was alright, but like Zesh, he was at his limit and soon all he saw was black.

JNN REPORT
"Good evening, my name is Minamoto Takakuni, and if you're just joining us, we're bringing you new information on the Grand Tokyo Mall attack that occurred earlier today." The woman laid down her stack of papers and took her glasses off to use as a paperweight. A dark and grim expression darkened her face. "There was speculation earlier that children were closely involved in the fighting and we can confirm now that is true. Police and Heroes report that while no one was seriously injured, they believe that the villains behind this terrible crime were targeting the children."

She let out a soft sigh and shook her head as if dispelling the negativity from her mind. "Law enforcement are urging parents to avoid sending their children out alone and several hero agencies have promised to patrol popular hangout spots more often. We here at JNN want to give a special thanks to Howl. She left her hospital bed early to rush to the mall and save those children. And in the wake of the death of Pinwheel...such heroism cannot be overlooked."
