[IC] My 'Hero' Academia - Devil's Due

[Stern Algorithm]

"Do you trust me, Diesel?"

"Meet me at the lower floors"

@Zelosse

"With my life, Midnight," Dieselpunk replied, still trying to gingerly move away from the trap arrows. "Watch out for the arrows," she warned, as Midnight emerged from a nearby building. "So, what's the plan, stardust?" Dieselpunk asked somewhat jovially.

"I admit there is risk, but," Lifting his previously metallic hand revealed where his hand should have shimmered with the cosmos was now a bloating black pouch. Something swished in its depths. "There are risks. Less volatile than tar but it should serve as your fuel."

Had it not been for the exoskeleton and his clothing Diesel could have easily seen his form was smaller than before. The fuel he was offering dangerous yet few options remained without Diesel at peak performance.

"Accept me into you."

Of course he referred to her gas tank rather than anything lewd. His lack of experience on that topic only aiding the misunderstanding even as he spoke.

"Hah!" Dieselpunk guffawed at Midnight's statement, knowing him long enough to know that he didn't mean it like that. She lifted her left arm and pointed to a location in her ribs, deciding to retort in eqully lewd fashion, knowing it'll probably go over Midnight's head, "You can shoot your load, right here."

"Err.. yes. I shall."

If he could blush it would surely be all across his features. Instead of the rosy pink flush of his cheeks that others displayed, Midnights exposed body swirled with a deep azure. As close to blushing as it was possible to do given his unique appearance. Having caught on that he probably had made a somewhat lewd and accidental statement. Ignoring that, he went about positioning the bulbous sac of fluid atop Dieselpunks exposed tank.

His free hand came across and tore a small hole at the end of his bloated hand, draining the appendage rather painfully into the gas tank with as much haste as the situation allowed, until the contents had been emptied.

Grasping the depleted and dangling piece of himself, a quick tear and a stifled gasp accompanied the sound of the almost fleshy pouch slapping uselessly to the floor. Unlike his regularly malleable body, parts he creates into unseparated tar were far more sensitive to pain.

Any other time, something of that nature would be trivial. Grasping just above the stump of his ruined limb the swirling energies were already rushing forward to become a regular hand once more as Midnight gave a nod to the mecha-woman.

"Teach them pain. I'll back you up!"

Outwardly he showed no concern at all, exuding confidence, but internally he feared multiple issues. Would the engine take the fuel properly? If it did would it be effective or would it choke the engine. If the liquid was too thick it would explode, too thin it might flood the engine. All he could do was hope.

As Midnight filled her up, Dieselpunk thought she noticed a wince, but her thoughts quickly turned towards the fuel in her tank. A few revs and her engine roared to life. "WOAH!" Dieselpunk exclaimed as glowing purple fumes blasted from her many exhausts, "This is amazing!" Dieselpunk recalled that Midnight referred to his explosive liquid as 'tar', more like sweet black-tar heroin. "Thanks for the kickstart, Midnight, now let's take down these punks!" Dieselpunk declared, slamming the ground and cracking the pavement in a show of force.

Failure to strike the target, Mori, behind self didn't come as a surprise. The grapple on wrist was another story. Hearing Aya's words, to switch, was another unexpected turn of events for the lion. Zion's volume was loud as he spoke, tone stern. Immediately Zion grabbed onto Mori's hand, if possible, the very same hand which held onto the lion's wrist. Then swung the arm which Mori held onto, not caring if the attack being made against him followed through. Merely hoping to drag, or throw, Mori closer to the direction of Aya. Movements of the lion happened after he said the word, now...

"Jah focus is too narrow boy. Jah shouldah run when jah had a chance. Aya, sweetheart... NOW!"

While the lion swung in attempts to throw Mori. Zion began pivoting on a heel. Not only to gain better vantage for throwing the boy, but also ready self for a grapple attempt in case Mori simply let go. As for the lazer-boy. Mori proved difficult to ignore, thus the Lion decided this method of action was best. Next, he'd deal with the lazer-boy.

[vancexentan]

@Eviledd1984 A thug shook off his blow to the head just enough to get conscious as he heard the kids running away he was unable to chase after them barely managing to get to his feet as he looked down into the hole in front of him he saw Verd climbing up. The thug growled and reached down. "Weren't you the kid questioning Skull about his quirk? Why don't you use yours to get those fucking kids." he shouted at the kid despite still offering his hand down to help him up the hole.

@LemonZest1337

"What the fuck do you think you can do lady! Get BENT!" he shouted at her as he kicked at the ground sending a dust cloud into the air around him making him hard to see. Combined with his speed, and his skill however that just made Mori all the more dangerous. In that instant Mori did something any smart fighter would've probably expected in his arrogance he rushed forward in that instant and got right into Aya's personal space. "BETTER YET I'LL HELP YOU WITH THAT!" he shouted as he at extremely close range slashed his claws at Aya's chest.

"I..I can't see Mori! Shit CHI!" the laser boy shouted as he ran over to the fire villain who was now open. He fired his fingers at him but they were weaker now and the fire villain dodged easily the villain threw the girl at the young man who unable to properly catch her caused the two of them to go tumbling down the hill as the fire villain glared intensely at the two. "I don't wanna kill kids...maybe some scars will do the trick?" he mumbled as he prepared to harm the two with a ball of fire. "That's what skull wanted if I remember right after all."

====

The speed trainee hero whistled, and paced back. "Yeah about that...Ummm...Guys...I think we're kinda fucked?" he stated with a bit of fear in his voice but to his credit he didn't bolt, and leave his friends to their doom. "Let's do the Tokyo Special! Now!" growled a voice from above as someone jumped out the window followed by a girl with wings on her back. The young speedster said something but he was too far away at this point to hear his muttering. But he started to twirl his arms in a circle and sent a large tunnel of wind at the direction of Diselpunk with the force of a hurricane. Though it was clearly taxing on the youth as his face got red suddenly. The guy who jumped out the window had a crossbow strapped to his arm, and was wearing goggles. The girl was extremely pretty for a young high school girl with long white hair, and red eyes. She grabbed onto the boy who jumped and he launched an arrow at the hurricane. Followed by another one. The arrow exploded into a puddle of water and the next one that followed sent a charge of electricity into it causing the hurricane like wind tunnel to not only be enough to make the other villains go barreling down the street just by the sheer force but the electricity was sure to give any hero a shock if they couldn't handle it.

"I can't fuckin fly, i can only contort my body so that would not be much use because i was too far form em" He shouted back but his voice sounding sadden and frustrated, Climbing up the hole still and finally grabbing the thug's hand being lifted out of the hole. "Sorry i didn't think this would happen, I thought i was gonna get some action fighting heroes and stuff not kids" He said sighing rubbing the dirt off of his costume.

"So did you see where the kids went? Is their any villains around that are around to help us?" He asked the thug fearing that he was failing as a villain. Again he was so going to enjoy fucking up those kids that put him in that hole, And he did not want to get East or the others angry at him for failing to do his part. In his head he was trying to plan something out for what he could do next to help on the mission.

[LemonZest1337]

Aya wasn't impressed by Mori's insult and simply rolled her eyes in response. The wolf kid then kicked up some dust obscuring himself from Aya's view, she hissed a little and took a step back, this was a dangerous situation. Giving Aya little time to react Mori burst from the dust cloud, his claws poised to strike and her chest. But this kind of foolhardy rush-down strategy was exactly what Aya was expecting, so instead of shocked expression Aya wore a smug grin. "As expected of a brute like you, rushing forward without a second thought. Like a moth to a flame."

Aya wasn't fast enough to dodge backwards out of Mori's reach but that wasn't her plan, instead she would tackle into him and get her quirk going. Doing so would mean she would only get hit with Mori's arm at worst, getting in too close for the extended arms savage looking claws. "I am very different to my compatriot Lord Zion. I am suited to taking down meat heads like yourself." Aya would then put her plan into action, throwing herself into Mori hoping that his fur wouldn't make his skin too hard to touch.

Zion stood not incredibly far from the action between Mori and Aya. Words being exchanged falling on unfocused ears as the Lion stared somewhat blankly at the fire-villain. You see. Zion was about to head for the lazer-shooter. Yet froze when eyes landed at the palms of the fire-quirk user. Memories and visions of prior times, growing up in Africa, flashed through the lion's mind as he momentarily lost track of where he was. Shaking his head, regaining his bearings, Zion turns to narrow attention onto the dust cloud dissipating around Aya and Mori. Hopefully this didn't damage his allies too badly. Yet with Mori's likely high-level hearing. Zion had a feeling this could pack a punch for the wolf-kid.

Goal of this action was to, possibly, phase Mori long enough to give Aya the chance needed to take him down using her quirk. A bonus would be if the wannabe hero didn't manage to land an attack because of this idea. Deeply inhaling, staring into the sky, Zion performs a roar as loud as he could. Echoing through the area the loud noise boomed. Far higher in volume than any ordinarly animal could muster, at the stake of his voice. A grunt followed the Lion's action as vocal chords were heavily strained. A hand even going against his throat after performing the act.

"Yeah about that...Ummm...Guys...I think we're kinda fucked?" he stated with a bit of fear in his voice but to his credit he didn't bolt, and leave his friends to their doom.

The young speedster said something but he was too far away at this point to hear his muttering. But he started to twirl his arms in a circle and sent a large tunnel of wind at the direction of Diselpunk with the force of a hurricane. Though it was clearly taxing on the youth as his face got red suddenly. The guy who jumped out the window had a crossbow strapped to his arm, and was wearing goggles. The girl was extremely pretty for a young high school girl with long white hair, and red eyes. She grabbed onto the boy who jumped and he launched an arrow at the hurricane. Followed by another one.

@vancexentan

Hit by the 'Tokyo Special', Dieselpunk braced herself, widening her stance. Fortunately, she was heavy enough that the wind didn't send her flying away immediately, though she could still feel the air tugging against her. Little pops and hisses could be heard as the various fuses from the cars that she had consumed exploded from the electricity coursing through her. At least they were only non-essential, low-current fuses, like interior air or headlights. Though it was painful, the shock wasn't enough to knock her back into human form, nor was it strong enough to disable essential systems, which were mainly mechanical rather than electrical. Some of the batteries were getting strained, but it wasn't unbearable.

By widening her stance, she was making sure that she was grounding the electricity away from the most important thing beneath her, Midnight. She hoped to God that the rubble that she had serendipitously spread on the ground earlier was enough of a wind barrier that he didn't get sent flying too. But with the archer and the previously unknown wing girl revealed, Dieselpunk was sure that Midnight would disco-light the little brats out of the sky. As the 'tank', Dieselpunk was 'doing her job' by drawing fire and forcing the enemies to reveal themselves or otherwise abandon their advantageous positions so that her teammates could do some damage. Of course, that wasn't going to stop her from adding her own bit of fun into the mix. Instinctively using on arm to cover her face, she reached over with her other arm to the nearby, partially demolished building, morphed the metal plates in her hand into something of a shovel, and smashed the building. As it began to crumble, she again flung the debris into the sky towards the flyer carrying the archer. Dieselpunk was sure the girl could probably dodge it, if she wasn't carrying someone else while trying to avoid the hurricane beneath her. Or would she drop her friend a few stories down to save herself? As a hero, she probably wouldn't do the latter, so allowing both herself and him to get hit would be the dumb, but heroic thing to do.

[vancexentan]

@Eviledd1984 "So why didn't you run away from the clearly earth malforming bitch high schooler? Whatever she ran in the direction of the entrance. If we catch up with them they're done. If not Skull Face is going to skull fuck'em with those shotguns, and we're not getting credit. So unless you're leg is broken like some dumb fish let's get moving." the thug said as he reloaded his weapon, and ran forward without Verd towards the entrance. With the commotion going on all around the area it was a wonder the cops hadn't shown up yet...if they even knew what was happening. The other thugs around Verd were still out like a light, or had taken cover and were unaware that the kids were gone.

===

@LemonZest1337 Mori quickly slashed Aya across the chest with his claws leaving her with some relatively bad claw marks across her chest if she had not picked up armor on the way out it likely would've been worse. Mori however followed up with a stiff kick to her midsection. "I thought villains like you were a grade above the rest! Too bad you're all trash!" the loud roar hurt his ears but the adrenline kept him going despite the pain. He was in a state of battle drowning out his distractions he was untrained but his raw talent as a hero was obvious despite his bad attitude. However the other kid with the laser fingers stopped his assault, and clapped his ears shaking his head and whining as he coughed heavily.

====

"Drop me!" the archer shouted as the girl looked at him with fear he glared at her, "I TOLD YOU DROP ME!" he shouted at her he'd surely break his bones if he landed on the ground from his height if not knock him out. As the girl dropped him to fly further into the air he notched a bolt into his crossbow, and shot it at the side of another building. The bolt flung him towards the building where he smashed into the window but not hard enough to break it which allowed him to dodge the incoming chunks. The speedster stopped his flow of motion and stood there panting in the distance he was attempting to catch a second wind at this point. Retaliating at Diselpunk The archer shot an arrow at her except this time it split into multiple arrows at the same time causing a hailstorm of sharp weapons to hurl themselves directly at her. "I may not be super special but my arrows make up for that! I'll show you villains that it takes more to be a hero than just a good quirk!"

[LemonZest1337]

The armor Aya picked up managed to save her from taking a lot more damage, though the claws of Mori still caused a gnarly amount of damage. Not only had her first plan failed but now she was on a clock, blood loss would surely incapacitate her if she didn't treat it quick. And she doubted that Mori would just sit there and let her patch herself up. But the wolf bow wasn't done following his claw attack with a swift kick to her midriff. The boy was indeed strong, facing off against Zion was more then enough proof of that. Speaking of Zion, it looked like he was about to roar! Aya didn't know the roar would be so mighty until it actually happened, and from her position on the ground she covered her ears, though the sound was still great.

What was this wolf boy made of? He was still standing after a noise such as that!? God she might have underestimated how tough this kid was, though she just needed to touch him. But his speed made that next to impossible, maybe she could get him to touch her instead. If he got her into any kind of grapple she could surely get a hand on him. And the heroes were brought up not to kill, so maybe she could work that to her advantage.

Aya got back into a fighting stance, using a hand to clutch the area Mori's claws had slashed. Her ears were still ringing from Zion's mighty roar but it wasn't enough to keep her down. After a short moment she smirked slightly and flipped Mori the bird, she was pretty sure that this would goad the seemingly hot headed boy into another attack. She just needed to be better read for his insane speed this time, because if the attack was anything but a grapple she couldn't afford to get hit by it.

Verd was gritting his teeth and just nodding his head, The thug was right he should not be wasting any time and trying to caught that girl at any cost. Following beside the thug and hoping the two of them could caught or track down the girl and the other two, He had hoped they could caught her before anyone came or the cops came before they could do their job. The young villain was using what tracking skills he did have to track the foot prints of what he assumed was the girl's own, And taking in the suggestion of the thug figuring out the direction and where he would hide if he was being chased down by villains.

He hoped he could figure some clue to her location or the location of any other students they can deal with or take hostage. And indeed he was surprised their was no cops coming or at the very least the more experience heroes, He wondered if this was some sort of distraction like they anticipated the villains coming here. He had hoped this was not the case.

@vancexentan

Stubborn brats didn't know when they were outclassed but they had good enough sense to avoid being ground level so Dieselpunk could thrash them good and proper, and with wind buffeting them it meant Midnight couldn't take to the sky or he'd be shoved out like the others. Clinging to Diselpunk was the only viable option as the electricity coursed through the two of them, attracted to all the metal like a lightning rod.

Not that Midnight could feel it. A solid beam of electricity could harm his form but this kind of chaotic energy was little more than ticklish.

"Keep it steady."

Letting go with his left, Midnight was pushed back a few steps before bracing against the wind and took aim. Explosions wouldnt be useful here, it would backfire likely and hurt punk so plan B was needed. The same type of energy burst that had killed the renegade back at headquarters.

"Precision burst: 25%!"

25% mass was overkill but the wind would suck the energy from it before arriving at the hawk winged student. Purple energy throbbed in his extended arm and took off like a laser, streaking through the temporary windstorm with a fury of own as it disrupted the howling gale before blasting through it entirely.
The projectile was aimed at the flying students wing with enough force to punch a hole clean through. Nothing that wouldn't recover but if it hit true, they wouldn't be flying for a while.

[vancexentan]

@LemonZest1337 "Oh fine if you wanna get mauled I'll fucking do you in!" Mori roared as he charged forward he was suddenly hit from the side by the shielder who had managed to crawl over it left him gasping for air. However he collapsed on his knees quickly after his ankle wound still effecting him. "I did it quickly get him!" the man gasped still effected by the roar as well it seemed to have burst his ear drum in his left ear if noting by his bleeding ear was anything.

===

@Eviledd1984 As Verd assisted in tracking they came across a villain on the way there with a large bleeding wound on the back of his head it would seem he got hit by a big rock from behind but he was still alive. If not assisted he would probably die there. However the other villains insisted on moving on quickly. As they kept tracking them back to the entrance they found themselves face to face with a few cops staring down White Skull as he stood out in the open, laughing. -you could be so stupid as to let this happen. Heroes have gone down hill your best are shots in this situation are mother fucking children. Little, and weak! My boys over there have been schoolin' them. Now then if you have any last words I don't mind hearing them." the cops shot at him but he quickly ducked under a nearby pillar holding up the ceiling. The cops were focusing on him, and the teacher hero from earlier was lying on the ground coughing, and grasping weakly at a shotgun wound on his stomach area. His arms were also shredded by some other quirk. A half dozen villains lay on the ground dispatched around him while the other ones distracting any newcomers were too busy to help. The kids they were tracking where hiding behind a staircase to avoid being shot anymore.

====

@Zelosse The shot that came from Midnight was unexpected the other students forgetting about him being a threat. The girl was hit mid-flight before falling out of the sky she screamed out in pain. The other heroes stared out in horror and the speedster was afraid to move but the archer called out, "Speed Shot! Catch her, and run! Get out of here!" he called out before retaliating at Midnight with another arrow this time it didn't pop off immediately meaning it was either a standard arrow, or it would start when it got close. The speedster froze up for a second but quickly managed to use a car to catapult himself into the air, and catch her before landing roughly into a pile of dirt and then rushing off. "You better come back alive jerkass!" the speedster called as he ran off as fast as he could in the opposite direction from the group leaving just them and the archer.

The young man was watching all of this and wondered if he should help White Skull or still go after the kid, Ignoring the injured villains but feeling quite sick seeing the dead bodies of the other villains and cops. Not wanting to be seen by the cops for the time being and slowly moving towards the staircases where the kids were, Moving though the ruined building they were in going form pillar to pillar. Having picked up a pistol form a dead thug and using his quirk to and to move though the small spaces of the ruined building, Going though a small opening behind the staircase were the kids were. And standing behind them pointing the gun and trying to shoot the girl who could throw rocks in the arms, If that was successful then he would shot the nerdy boy in the kneecaps and try to take them hostage to give the cops a little show.

[LemonZest1337]

It looked like her plan had worked the kid got easily angered, throwing out more profanity before charging at her. She readied herself to react when suddenly the shielder tackled the boy from the side sending him tumbling to the ground. This just got a lot easier. Aya bolted towards the boy, the pain from the nasty cuts on her chest making her hiss in pain. Aya jumped onto Morri quickly sifting her hands into his fur looking for skin to touch, though getting to it before Morri reacts however is probably unlikely. Aya was also starting to feel the blood staining her clothes and knew she wouldn't be able to keep this fight going much longer.

If she's not thrown off or otherwise stopped from touching Morri's skin she would instantly kick her quirk into effect, making the boys muscles go limp.

[Stern Algorithm]

As the rain of arrows came at Dieselpunk, she morphed her arms into large metal sheets, lifting them to block them from hitting any sensitive regions. She bit back her mechanical tongue at the archer's comments about how 'it takes more than a special quirk'. It reminded her of her hero school days, how she started out absorbing I-beams, how clunky she was and how much her classmates made fun of her. How dependent she was that her combat environment provide her with usable machinery. How she never managed to truly surpass her 15 minute time limit. How she irreversibly disfigured her face because of her quirk and her drunkenness. "You think my quirk's special?!" she thought to herself.

At that moment, a shining ray of hope shot out, hitting the flying heroine, reminding Dieselpunk that she had allies now. A nasty sounding rev, followed by some more purple smoke from Dieselpunk's pipes, and she fell down suddenly, creating a cavern under her torso and a wall with her arms between Midnight and the oncoming arrow, expecting it to either bounce off of her, or to explode. Sure, she couldn't actually hit any of these brats herself, she didn't have to, but she can protect those that could. After whatever effect the arrow was supposed to have wore off, Dieselpunk roared again and as wheels shifted to the soles of her feet. The squeal, the smell, and the plumes of white smoke peeled from the wheels as they began to spin, propelling the metal monstrosity that was Dieselpunk forward, as she attempted to tackle the archer into submission.

[vancexentan]

The girl quickly received a shot in the arm by Verd as the police turned around to quickly suppress him shooting the gun out of his hand the bullet likely didn't maim but went through his hand. However White Skull quickly took the chance to shoot the cop who shot Verd, and ran in dodging a punch by one of the cops who had pinned him delivering a stomp to the man's foot, and then forcing him to the floor before almost killing the man with his own gun in a militaristic fashion. However much to the other grunts' dismay was pushed back by telekinetic strike by the other boy knocking him down, and sending his hat onto the floor. One of the other villains with big bug eyes spit a wad of gunk at the kid incapacitating him. The Rock girl unable to properly concentrate was unable to help much but the other one sent a jolt of electricity shocking the grunts next to Verd. Skull face growled as the teacher grabbed onto his ankle preventing him from getting up but a quick kick to the jaw promptly broke the teacher's, and he was slapped knocking him out. Skull's head was as white as bone, and had no hair but he quickly grabbed his cowboy hat, and spit on the teacher. The gunk villain went after the little girl but was shocked by electricity quick enough.

====

Mori's muscles twisted, and convulsed as he suddenly felt them tighten up he smashed into Aya before flopping limply on the ground. He tried hard to move and thrashed about refusing to give in but he was incapacitated at this point. Rage filled his eyes as he tried vainly to speak, and move. The other villains had the other kids pinned down at this point it would seem everyone here was finished off. It was now a matter if they wished to take the matter further.

====

The arrow full up blew up after being hit cracking the casing, and revealing it was a concussive based explosive. Non-lethal but dangerous none the less. The archer boy frowned as he took the chance to skid down the wall and run down the street dodging through the street corners and out of sight. He appeared to not be going in the same direction the speedster ran off to.

Verd felt the hot blood and the bullet going though his shoulder, "Fuck" He cursed loudly and along with being shot he had his gun smacked out of his hand. His leverage against the police and the children so he would have to think of something quick, Looking over at the girl with electricity powers and thinking of a way to protect himself. Looking for some rubber gloves or something but it looked like their was none around, However he did notice a rubber yoga mat of some kind deciding to pick it up along with a machine gun form a fallen thug. Using the mat as a shield and running towards the girl while firing at her legs or feet in the meantime. The blood form the gunshot flowing down onto his costume and his torso, Making sure he was not side lined by any cops and if he could get close to her he could break her arms or something to that effect.

Their was snot and tears running down his face, Luckily his mask was covering it up, And he was in alot of pain he would to find Aya ASAP as he needed some medical attention.

[LemonZest1337]

Aya coughed up a tiny bit of blood as Morri convulsed and bashed into her, but she had grabbed onto Morri's fur so that knocking her off wouldn't be that easy. She continued to hold on tight and make sure her quirk continued to restrain the wolf boy, but she was beginning to feel woozy from all the blood she was loosing. She hoped that someone would be able to take Morri of her hands, though to do that they'd have to knock the kid out and that seemed like to could present a problem, with the durability this kid has knocking him out might take a lot. "I nee... Need a hand o-over here..." Aya shook her head slightly, trying to keep herself awake.

[Zelosse]

Midnight stared down the arrow with disdain, unconcerned with whatever effect it was capable of doing. Safe with the assurance that Dieselpunk would be the shield and himself the sword, their ability to work as a single mind was uncanny. As expected, the arrow struck the metallic body of his partner and Midnight responded in kind as the effects of the concussive arrow was contained bt Diesels sacrifice to protect her friend.

Friend.. the notion was unfamiliar to the Villain, accustomed to being alone. Seperated from cautious individuals by virtue of their innate distrust.

With the force of the arrowhead blocked out, Midnight was already in motion as a series of small bursts from the vent on his back and hands propelled him through the air, negligible uses of his mass turned to pure acceleration.
Of course the Archer would run. Sacrificing himself to draw the villains away from his injured friends, hoping, praying, that the Archers skills would be enoigh to evade pursuit on himself.

Childish bravado was infuriating.

10% mass burst from his back vents, propelling the metallic exoskeleton of Midnight faster than a mere Archer could walk. When Midnights feet touched to the ground, sliding across the pavement in a low crouch, he would be blockng off the escape route to the buildings with his left hand outstretched.

"5%!" Unlike the highly concentrated beam that had injured the hawk girl, this projectile was a sphere the size of a mans fist. Flying from Midnights purple glowing hand it would detonate in proximity of the Archer.

[vancexentan]

@Eviledd1984Luckily for Verd White Skull quickly took the iniative he grabbed a chunk of rock off the ground, and chucked it at the young lady smacking her on the side of the head sending her to the ground grabbing a bloody wound coughing as the boy tried to muster up some sort of defense one of the goggled gentleman raised his arms causing a spindle of vines to grab him, and strap him to the ground. The cops kept shooting but were quickly overpowered by the other man who used some sort of projectile he spit from his mouth to quickly disarm them. Likely a quirk of his. "This ain't fuckin' golden week boys if you wanna live then fight on or get fucked and let a cop kill ya! I don't got time for piss worth villains." Skull shouted out as the villains around him ran into action. "You there smart mouth! Cover the wound with something before you bleed out. Or not and die not my problem." Skull Face growled at Verd annoyed.

===

@LemonZest1337The shielder crawled up to Aya, and tore off his shirt he rapped what he could around her wounds. He looked at her with some annoyance. "You're the doc you're not supposed to die out here. Besides whatever The Pale Man has planned its clearly not involving us. He said that we were all expending at the start. We need to get back to the trucks before shit gets real. Our goal was to deal with the brats...looks like we did." he said to her with some disdain at having to fix up their own doctor who was here for them, and not the other way around.

====

The archer displayed rather dexterous speed as if calling the movement he leapt forward hearing the change in the air he fell hard on the ground but dodged the blow. He spun on his back and started to back pedal while clumsily getting up firing one of his few remaining arrows at Midnight this time it didn't go off at the end instead it sprung out a boxing glove heading in the direction of Midnight's face. "Even I like the classics fuck stick!" he insulted the group of them at large. If anything can be said of the kid he was at least spunky enough to insult the group.
