Kaiba Blader:
Gunfire sounding across the battle drew Kaiba's attention instantly, and he rushed toward the sound, drawing his own weapons as he went.
The staccato sounds, though automatically dampened by his helmet, rang deep through Kaiba's mind. Automatic weapons, likely small caliber rounds. Submachine guns, or machine pistols. Kaiba's jaw clenched subconsciously as he dashed through the dwindling chaos. It was mostly power players left, and it seemed things were escalating between them. As he drew nearer, his visor polarised to cope with what appeared to be a weaponised fireworks display going off, causing him to pause momentarily. As his visor depolarised from the glare, he made out the combatants. A Shadowy entity that seemed to morph and shift as was needed. A classic thuggish masked vigilante type, complete with the firearms he'd heard earlier. A..... she-devil in civilian clothes? A man -no, practically a boy!- clad in a (disturbingly) similar suit of armor to his own. Another, even younger man in a black suit. Finally, the young woman he could only assume was responsible for the fireworks, done up in a classic superhero tights get-up.
All of them making a gigantic mess with no regard to any of the others around them.
Several stragglers who'd been near the blast staggered away, ears bleeding, blindly stumbling around form the light and sound that had just gone off. A few of them had been laid out by the shockwave or burned by the blast itself. And the battle seemed to only be getting worse. Inside his helmet, Kaiba swore, One on one, he was sure he could probably deal with any of the throng, but as a chaotic group, he was just one more spark in a larger fire that threatened to burn out of control very quickly. And the
kids! It wasn't unusual that teenage 'heroes' existed but damned if they didn't get younger every year.....
Kaiba looked on helplessly as the Battle Raged. He was only one man. An experienced, cybernetically enhanced man, but just one. And getting older to boot.
But he could not stand idly on the sides as people with incredible power used it so recklessly. He had to step in. If not him.... who?
He drew in a breath, blew it out, and began making his way to the fighting. The first step was de-escalating the conflict. Fireworks woman and Shadowman were first in line. As he picked up speed, he fired three shots, not at the shadow creature, but near enough to hopefully draw its attention. He quickly holstered the weapon, and as he sprinted past the Firework shooting woman, he shouted to her, "Keep those blasts under control!" before lunging forward with blistering speed to throw a quick cut across the shadowy arm of the creature.
