✧ THE RUMBLING ✧

Shinjuku, 5:57 PM, Monday.

The arraignment of the man known as ‘The Elementalist ‘ was running on the major Tokyo News channels. A dangerous man who had caused the Tokyo government a severe headache by illegally experimenting on quirkers through a government-funded facility. He was well known by the populace of Japan as he became linked to a human trafficking ring as the allegations came out. Some people were found heavily mutated, and others… were never found.

For all accounts, it should have been a normal day. It sure seemed that way with the usually busy streets of Tokyo continued, ignorant of the immense devastation that would befall them in just a few minutes. Those tuning into the courtroom would find the judge listing off the Elementalist’s extensive rap sheet and then ask for a plea. The silence was palpable until the man exhaled and spoke

“Not Guilty.” The courtroom was in an uproar over this as his crimes were undeniable. Still, The Elementalist would continue, “I did this to help. I would, and I WILL do it again.” A smirk appeared on his face, and his features would begin to melt into a green goo-like substance. The ballif would attempt to use quirk nullification to detain him, and to the shock of the rest of the courtroom, this would fail as The Elementalist would fade, leaving some cryptic parting words

“They will take care of everything”

Nerima, 6:00 PM, Monday.

It came from below.

Tremors from the earth warned of its coming mere minutes before it burst forth from the ground. Reaching into the far reaches of the ward, Nerima was hit with a series of cascading earthquakes. Finally, rising from the deep came a monstrosity sculpted from dirt, rock, and cement. Standing thirty feet tall, the creature was slow moving, covered in impenetrable layers of armor and moving in one direction, carving a path of destruction through Nerima as it wrecked anything that stood in its way. Any attempts to communicate with it by the police were met with an eerie silence. As if this hulking behemoth was the very wrath of Mother Nature personified, it did not speak. It did not express any feelings. Those unfortunate enough to be caught in this disaster weren't facing a villain with motives, hopes or dreams. This golem was more akin to a living weapon, and the trigger had already been pulled.

The buildings around it trembled and those that weren’t sturdy enough were at the risk of collapsing as the ground shook with each step it took. Crushing abandoned cars and walking through stores, nothing could make the golem stray away from its path. Slow moving and constant, it walked on. Bursting onto a crowded street that was still in the process of being evacuated, a chorus of screams and cries followed the flood of people as they struggled to get away from the villain as fast as possible. Unphased, the giant construct continued.

Where was it headed? Unless the people of Nerima were eager to find out, they would have to find a way to stop its advance.

The Rumbling

[Bakiri Retsu]

It hadn't been long since Retsu had gotten herself a new motorcycle. Until recently her old one had worked just fine and she saw no need to replace anything she could fix with a bit of elbow grease and some spare -or homemade- parts. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, recent events had rendered it a bit beyond even her ability to repair so she'd splurged on a better one. Her new 'Artemis' was a neat, factory-fresh lime green and capable of comfortably cruising at more than 200 mph. Not that she was mad enough to actually go that fast on a public road but if she wanted to she could.

Provided the road was intact, of course.

Something that very much didn't seem to be the case in Nerima. If the wreckages all around didn't tip her off that something was going on then the ruined streets and screaming in the distance certainly did. Wasn't that just her luck? She was just here to check out the old military base to see if it had anything useful or could be used as a temporary hideout, maybe get off a sale or two if the people she'd arranged to meet there showed up but no, everything just had to start going wrong even before she got there. 

A manic grin split her features beneath her fancy state-of-the-art helmet. Driving was difficult when you had no depth perception but luckily for her she'd managed to find a helmet with a darkened visor allowing her to leave her eyepatch off for the ride. Which was good because she didn't want to crash and ruin her shiny new biking outfit. She'd barely had the thing for a few days and she'd be pissed if it already got ruined. 

Hitting a pothole that sent her skidding for a moment before she could get her bike under control again -not something that was easy while wearing a backpack full of objects that were both heavy and loose- her eye twitched at the blatant disrespect. Seriously, of all days to pull a stunt like this it just had to be the one where her second-in-command, Hans, arranged a sale this far away from her usual territory. Someone was going to pay for this and it wasn't gonna be her. With that thought in mind it didn't take Bakuretsu long to follow the cacophony of destruction to its source. 

Weaving through the crowd with almost contemptuous apathy for their safety Retsu reached behind her and unzipped a side pocket on her backpack. She was nothing if not prepared and the moment she pulled out the grenade within she squeezed the lever and hooked its ring-pin into the neat little metal hook attached to the zipper, allowing her to prime and toss her grenades completely one-handed.

Not that she thought her frag would do much against the veritable goliath but hey, if David could down one with a rock Retsu could do so with a grenade. Lazily tossing it between his feet as she passed him by she continued driving for a few seconds before tilting left and making a sharp turn, one foot on the ground to act as the pivot she needed for her abrupt change in direction. Revving her bike the moment she finished her turn she sped back towards the scene, eager to see how badly the entire situation could've possible escalated in the few seconds she'd looked away.

[Shion Utsui]

緊急事態！ BrRrRrRrRr- ["The number you have called is not available."] "Dammit!" Whirring through the air, trying to head towards the earthen giant as fast as they could was Shion. Beneath their thighs was Toto, the alien creature that faithfully acted as their friend, quirk, and guided cruise weapon. The rider was currently cursing the shoddy cell service- this behemoth must have downed at least a few telephone poles to prevent Shion from contacting the local authorities, emergency services, anyone. With a catastrophe this massive, there were bound to be casualties who would soon turn into a statistic if nothing was done. ". . ." He didn't want to admit it, but Shion felt both sad and exhilarated at the current situation. Many people were being hurt- it was objectively a horrible situation. However, it also allowed Shion to immerse themselves in the excitement partaking in a mission where they were free to use any and all quirks and equipment at their disposal. He hung in the air for a second, at a slight loss of what they could do in the moment- as a literal newbie there probably wasn't much they could do against the earthen giant.  However, the screams of the crowd from below eventually reached his ears. Making Shion remember what was more important. "Run this way! He's coming from the north!" Swooping down on Toto, Shion picked up a nearby megaphone dropped by a fleeing traffic officer and used the machine's amplification of his voice to help direct the fleeing civilians. He pointed towards a road that thankfully wasn't blocked by burning tires and concrete rubble- though that might change soon. The explosion from Retsu's grenade made the youth turn his head, realizing that someone already might've been fighting the monster- for better or for worse. But the person on the motorbike looked nothing like an official hero. It could simply be a civilian trying their best way to escape, or in the worst case- a vigilante. "Hey! You on the bike! You're going the wrong way!" Shion yelled through the megaphone as he began flying parallel with the weapon dealer's bike.  "This is a restricted area! All civilians need to evacuate!" He was basically screaming at her from two meters away through a megaphone, even though in reality she was trying to help. And probably doing more than Shion was in stopping the threat. And through all of this, the behemoth probably continued to march on. . . Fanthes Bakiri Retsu Claudio Bernardo Emilia Hall Elijah

The life of a cloud descends to humanity — the world quakes at its own design!

[attr="class","sixShly"]
Dragon's fire, prayer and thunder will not change my mind

[attr="class","sixShpost"]heheOh, the life of a cloud. Beneath the soothing sun and above the menial causalities — a place where the world was simple in its unknowing. The clouds danced through the wind's path, following their leading steps onward to places they'd never know, nor would they ever see. They would travel miles, over vast oceans and distant lands, towards a destination they never intended — not a tranquil journey, but a riotous migration of sincerely bellowing gales.

[break][break]

heheAmongst the nothing — those unconscious things — flowed the one between their and the below's kingdoms. A man who, though born of humanity, rested amongst these clouds as of the same form, a structureless shape free from the world's touch. Claudio blended into their mass as another series of particles, adrift in the breeze as any other cloud was in their wakeless life.

[break][break]

heheHumanity didn't touch him here. They may tread upon the domain, and they may even claim the skies as their own, but it was not their home. They did not return to the clouds for their evanescent embrace as he did. His eyes could close here, and when they did, he could be left as nothing at all. Even to the world, he vanished.

[break][break]

heheBut a came to him a howling, a shriek echoed up from the earth. The terrain screamed in agony, begging for the heavens to heed their strife — to look upon them and see how they crumbled and collapsed. And, from the dust of ruins, there rose something unlike either the world or the sky.

[break][break]

heheA monstrosity that came from even further below — a hellspawn whose only sound was the havoc left in their wake.

[break][break]

heheYet the clouds continued to pass. Unmarred by the land's destruction, they continued along their path without objection. The heavens, in their unified perfection, glossed past the calamity passing beneath their gaze. What more did they need to see than the sun above?

[break][break]

heheBut the human cloud couldn't tear his gaze from the hellion's wrath. He couldn't rip the glint from his eye.

[break][break]

heheFalling away from the heavens, the man looked upon the world's abominable painting. Structures hung loose from their foundations, and blood seeped from beneath the creature's steps. As the man hurdled down from the sky, the world of ants quickly became a world of rocks, and rapidly, that world of rocks became a world of people.

[break][break]

heheThe cloud met the pavement, its gaseous form dissipating at its point of impact and outwards towards the bordering buildings. Yet, as the clouds curved along the street's walls, their abundance collected just ahead of the monster, coalescing in the air just ahead of the golem's gaze. The whirling hiss of their circling gave rise to a new creature — the being descended from the heavens — as one of the hellion's combatants.

[break][break]

heheLike an island sat floating atop a cloud, Claudio's torso remained solid — human — while his lower body remained transformed, keeping him afloat.

[break][break]

hehe"That's no good, Mr. Earth!" Pulling back his fist, the Brazilian laughed. "That way's too valuable for you to step on — why don't we go play in your pit back there?"

[break][break]

heheThe man's fist soared forth from its coiled start, with his arm rapidly expanding in size as it pushed through the air. The internal structures pushed apart from one another, losing their density as they shifted away from their humanity, whilst their outer shell loosened into a rubbery texture — but all the same, their force aimed to strike the giant squarely in the face, only now with an appropriately expanded form.

[break][break]

heheThe cloud grinned.

[Elijah]

Elijah was doing an errand when disaster struck.

The house his father resided in wasn't far from UAU at all. He could visit him whenever he wanted really. The only reason they decided he live in a dorm was because the place was at that awkward distance where transit would be inconvenient to use if he just needed to attend a few courses per day. So the campus was where he stayed, with occasional trips home so they could have dinner together and the freshman could tell his dad how he's doing in the university.

Said dinner was supposed to be tonight, with Elijah being in charge of getting the food as the old man had just left his work. He exited the store to a cacophony of screams and crashing, buildings toppling down and ultimately crushing the civilians within as the titan responsible continued on its way, ignorant of the destruction it's causing.

Elijah abandoned his groceries. He's sure his father would forgive him for prioritizing lives over their family bonding.

He was already moving to dig people out of the debris, his prosthetic thankfully preventing injury as rocks scraped against it. Eyes would scan his surroundings as he ordered the victims to stay away, looking for something that could be done about the golem. So far all he could note was a bike rider driving under the thing, someone on a broom leading civilians out of its path with a megaphone and- someone familiar?

"I didn't know you wanted a death wish," he'd call out to the clouded freshman, making his way to the next pile. "Do you have a plan other than just punching the thing?" Though Elijah would have to forgo criticizing him further, as a couple was stuck under a particularly large piece of concrete. Sighing through his nose, he braced himself against the block, pushing it with strength he's clearly lacking compared to his peers. But he only needed to move it a couple inches; enough for them to crawl out. Surely he could accomplish even that.

Right?

It was just supposed to be a normal patrol.


She had the worst luck. She was given a rare opportunity as Rin had organized a routine patrol with a Pro Hero through her older sister. Unfortunately, Emi had some errands to run before this arrangement, so she was a bit late meeting them in Nerima. The rest of the group had already started their patrol once she exited the subway. She came prepared for anything potentially dangerous with a workout outfit and her Rad-Condensor gloves stored away just in case she would need them. As she moved out of the way to the crowd of people entering or exiting the subway system, she would pull out her phone to text her roomie group chat. 'Okay, I'm here by Hikadawai. I'll be-' her phone would slip out of her hand as the 'rumbling' began. She would look around and see the foundation of buildings shaking, and so she did what she was instructed to during an earthquake. She would get low to the ground. Luckily, the extra weight made her center of gravity pretty solid in a situation like this, but she didn't anticipate what would come next.

Everything would shake more violently, the shockwaves ramping up so much that Emi had to place her hands on the pavement to brace herself further as buildings would begin to break apart, their foundations collapsing under the pressure. The streets were populated enough that others had the same idea, with one family having the unfortunate luck of being close to a telephone pole, which was freed from its constraints tipped over and threatened to crush the small family who were too distracted by something else in the opposite direction Emi was facing "Look out!" she knew she wasn't supposed to use her quirk but letting innocent people get hurt wasn't something she could live with. Quite literally jumping into action, she lept up and slowed the descent of the telephone pole. "Please get somewhere safe!" she called out as the family bowed and hustled in the opposite direction.

Shortly after placing the pole down safely, Emi would be drawn to the sound of the screams and would turn pale as she saw the Rumbling Golem making its way down the street. Her first instinct was to call the Pro Hero they were meeting up with, but her phone had been the first casualty, having been crushed under the rubble while she was distracted with saving the people. From what it looked like from a distance, she wasn't the only person on the scene, as a few individuals were heading toward danger. She would take the reprieve to equip her Rad-Condensors before heading in that direction. If she could save even a few lives that's all that mattered!

Compared to the rest on the frontlines, she was much more concerned with helping those who couldn't get out of the way. Running into Eli doing his best to dig people out, she would speak up, adrenaline temporarily overriding her anxiety. "I've got this!" bending down and quickly picking out debris with one hand enough to let the people trapped get out. "Please get to safety! Make sure to stay away from buildings and go somewhere open if you can" she would address Eli with this too, not realizing he was also a student like her, before she would turn her full attention to the rumbling golem

'Well, Emi, you wanted an experience doing real field work'

✧ THE RUMBLING ✧

As Retsu lobbed the frag grenade at the giant golem, the grenade would soar upwards, before bursting right in front of the monstrosity. The sound of the explosion was hard to miss, just as hard as the fact that once the dust settled, the golem continued walking. Unharmed, unscathed. While the giant villain looked completely immovable, those with a keen awareness might be able to see small trails of steam rise from under its armor plating, seeping through tiny cracks in its structure. Nevertheless, the golem continued to march on, not even turning its head to acknowledge the aggressors that had assembled around it.

With Claudio seemingly appearing out of thin air and striking the giant, once more, it did nothing to attempt to dodge the attack, instead relying fully on its armor to tank the damage. Much like before with Retsu's grenade, there wasn't a dent to be found on its face, but hot steam began to rise from under its armor where it was hit.

As everyone gathered around, some standing up to the giant itself while others helped civilians in need, the ground around them would start to tremble gently. This tremble didn't come from the villain itself however. Suddenly, like oversized moles, smaller golems identical to the giant one began to sprout out of the ground, surrounding the haphazard group. The smaller golems ranged from three to five feet in size and unlike their big counterpart, immediately started going after the perceived enemies. One would attempt to grab Retsu's ankle as it came out of the ground, while another flanked her and tried to swing its arm at her ribs. Three appeared around Elijah and Emilia, trying to circle in on them and clear the way for the big golem. Another small golem picked up loose debris and rocks, and started throwing it at Shion, while two more golems charged at Claudio, attempting to tackle him out of the way of the giant. Unlike the giant golem, these pawns were a lot more occupied with attacking everyone around them, especially those who might attempt to stop their boss.

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------

TL;DR: The giant Rumbling Golem is seemingly(?) shrugging off damage, but hot steam is rising from under its layer of armor where it has been hit. In response to the aggression exerted against it, small golems have appeared and they are attacking everyone in the area. These small golems all have D+ attributes. The giant golem continues marching on.

[Bakiri Retsu]

Driving through the ruined street Bakiri Retsu learned three things as she got closer to the golem. One, it was probably exactly as sturdy as it looked. Two, her grenade did fuck all and three, she really fookin' hated people screaming in her ears. The fact that the person doing the shouting was using a megaphone at close range for some reason certainly didn't make it better -albeit it did give her some ideas for new grenades- and the fact that they were keeping up with her fancy new bike using a broom of all things was just the cherry on top.

"Shot op, witch! Make y'rself fookin' useful instead a' screaming mah ears off!" Retsu yelled through her helmet while reaching for her pack. Unzipping it with practiced motions she pulled out a sticky grenade and zipped it back up again before reaching her hand out towards Shion. "If ya pull the pin the sides'll fall off exposin' the sticky part. Fly up and chu-"

Her words were interrupted by the ground shaking harder and the fookin' pavement trying to drag her off her bike. Seriously,didn't she have enough problems yet? Now the ground itself was trying to fight her too? Ah, no, she realized as she swerved to dodge the grasping hand and leaned almost parallel to the ground to avoid another strike, the annoyance had just multiplied. Satisfied that the planet didn't decide to get literal with its efforts to bring her down she wrenched the steering wheel to somehow bring her bike under control again and managed to pull herself upright without making it sway all too much. Which was good because her leg was hurting from the earlier maneuver she'd pulled and she was pretty sure anything faster than a jog was beyond her right now should she get unseated. All that was before accounting for the damage a crash would cause which she quite frankly didn't feel like thinking about. So she didn't. Instead she continued her explanation as if the attack she just dodged didn't phase her in the slightest.

"As ah was sayin'. Fly up and chuck it at that thing's head." Retsu finished while tossing the grenade towards Shion. She then promptly swore up a storm as she ducked her head down to make sure the flying rocks didn't brain her. For as much as she ended up spending on her new helmet she doubted it was 'giant golem incursion' proof. Manufacturers don't tend to keep that in mind when making their stuff. Big oversight.

Not an oversight Retsu herself intended to make. She sure as hell was going to keep the giant golem's capabilities in mind. Specifically by leaving dealing with it to everyone else and maybe tossing some help their way now and then. For while her frag didn't do much to the big lug there was nothing suggesting it couldn't get rid of the smaller ones. Other than the fact that they seemed to be made of the exact same thing. She decided not to think about that either.

Whatever, it wasn't like frags were the only things she brought. Zooming past the big one she spotted three more of the things surrounding a group of civilians which seemed as good of a target to test her bombs as any, honestly. With only a few seconds to act before she'd reach them she pulled a C4 out of her beg, booted up the attached phone and briefly let go of the steering wheel to pull off the cover of the adhesive strip on its back. Quite frankly what she was doing was needlessly dangerous and she really didn't have any reason to be doing it but that had never stopped Retsu before. So she simply kept her bike as steady as possible before sticking her arm out at the last moment and slapping the C4 against a golem's back while she drove by. She hit the breaks a second later, her rear wheel leaving a quarter circle shaped skid mark on the road as she ground to a halt. Even before she finished sliding her phone was in her hand and she set off the C4 while putting her leg down to brace herself and make sure her bike didn't fall over as she checked the damage she inflicted on the golem. The wrong leg. The exact one she'd been complaining about earlier in fact. If nothing else, she thought as she muffled a pained groan, it gave her a pretty good idea of what the damage to herself was.

------

TL:DR; Retsu gives a sticky bomb to Shion and dodges the small golems' attacks before slapping some C4 to the back of one of the three surrounding Elijah and Emilia and sliding to a stop close behind them and setting off the C4.

[Shion Utsui]

動揺。 Shion was understandably at a slight loss when the "civilian" turned to him, only responding with hostility. The mundane truth that he didn't want to acknowledge in the moment was that you can't really help someone if they don't want to be helped. Retsu's demeanor did a good job demonstrating that cooperation wasn't always going to be easy. Wait, is that a military grade explosive? He began understanding that this woman wasn't quite the civilian she appeared to be at first. "Hey! Where did you-" The interrogation through Shion's megaphone was cut short with the velocity of a heavy rock making impact with the plastic device. It flew out of his hands, quickly meeting its end as it was smashed onto the ground below.  What a waste. There went all the hard work of a child laborer somewhere in the Philippines.  But there was no time to think of that, both Shion and Retsu were suddenly under assault. Something that compelled him to lean forward and do a barrel roll on Toto while still in flight- some scrapes due to the projectiles may have been sustained, but nothing that left him in worse condition than before. "Ugh-" Not used to making disorienting maneuvers like that yet, Shion swallowed a gob of his own spit as he tried to get back his bearings. He'd undergone training to try and get more accustomed- but so far, all that's succeeded in doing was having him vomit out an oil drum's worth each session. Reflexively, he caught the explosive in one hand. His eyes still locked onto Retsu with apprehension- helpful or not, she was still a non-combatant with contraband items.  But obviously, that was a problem to take care of afterwards. If a criminal gave Shion a weapon to save the lives of potentially up to thousands of casualties- he'd take it, especially in a situation where he had yet to be granted any official equipment of his own. Shion took one look at the explosive, before glancing back towards Retsu with a look of appreciation. "An Anti-Tank Grenade. . . thanks, this might do the job!" Before the manufacturer of the explosive could question why a "witch" like him even knew what it was properly called, Shion had already blasted off, doing a vertical U-turn before straightening himself out as he gained speed. He vaulted around the giant's limbs that were as large as him, flying around it's back before spotting a familiar face. Claudio had been an equally odd, yet endearing and relatable character when Shion had met him for the first time- nothing about him seemed to have changed at all, though the youth's knowledge of him did. A strategy where he took advantage of his quirk that could be easily seen as recklessness. The ability to alter one's body on a molecular level was a notable strength indeed, evident by the act of striking from a distance- an act that Shion unfortunately didn't witness. However, such a strength could only reach stupid levels of power if the user was aware of his surroundings. "KISAI! BELOW!" Shion did his best to holler across the distance between them, as he noticed the two golems shooting up towards his fellow student like projectiles from a flak gun. The worst thing that could happen right now is for the Cloud to be shot down. Following this action in a swift motion was the youth's throwing arm. Opposite to Claudio in location, now being behind the giant's head, Shion put all his strength into chucking the explosive at the enormous foe's nape after pulling the pin. Following 5 seconds, the grenade would detonate, hopefully doing some more damage as an anti-tank weapon. TLDR: Shion receives a grenade from Retsu, flies up behind the giant as he warns Claudio who is also in the air, and throws the sticky anti-tank explosive at the enemy's nape.

Claudio shifts into his cloud form to dodge the two lunging golems, letting them pass through him before returning to how he was before. Then, he stretches his arms to try to grab the two by their ankles, spinning in the air and throwing them at the larger golem.

[attr="class","sixShpost"]heheAs his arm snapped back into place, its form returning to its original size, Claudio sang a hearty chuckle. “So tanky!" he'd beam, his voice a melodic cheer as he looked upon the golem. He hadn't even left a dent on the thing — not even a scratch! "Gosh, nothing! I really did try to knock you out with that one, promise!"

[break][break]

heheAn unstoppable being who, in its destructive tranquility, swayed little from the path it walked, refuting even the option to state its case. Though it may be peppered by his and others' attacks, the golem pressed forward regardless of hell or hindrance — what a nostalgic image that was! Unlike the memory, however, this beast was no unstoppable machine. Though its armor remained undamaged, steam seeped out from beneath the cracks, hissing as it rose through the air.

[break][break]

heheHowever tough this thing may be, there was something more at play.

[break][break]

hehe"Y'know, you almost remind me of–"

[break][break]

heheBut the cloud had little time to prattle on, or even concern himself with that thought, as the earth below him roared once more. Though the titan had ripped through the earth's crust, breaking the world beneath, it had not awoken in a rage or in a fervor — like an animal dormant from hibernation, it had emerged without hostility. But, as the earth howled again, soldiers of similar shape to the golem — if only smaller — emerged, bursting through the asphalt with violence in their charge.

[break][break]

heheClaudio couldn't be in two places at once. As far as he could tell, only he and one other person had taken measures to halt the giant in its march — with little avail, for as far as they could tell. Even still, they didn't have any promises of reinforcement, nor were they guaranteed actual heroes to come defeat the golem.

[break][break]

heheThey would need to stick it out with the objective of achieving victory by themselves.

[break][break]

hehe"A plan, a plan, a plan, hm..." The cloud hummed to himself, eyeing the smaller golems as they shot toward him. As they reached to snatch him out of the air, hoping to tear the cloud from the sky, their hands would only pass through the cloud's wispy form. If they listened, they might have heard a faint giggle.

[break][break]

heheAs they passed through his form, Claudio's body snapped back into how it'd been prior, with his stupid grin widening as he turned his gaze.

[break][break]

hehe"C'mon, you two!" As they flew through the air, the cloud's arms stretched out, snaking through the air as they attempted to grip the two by their ankles. "I'm a cloud — a cloud! You can't touch clouds, y'know!" At this level, at least, he could rely on his body's reaction times to take what was thrown at him. As such, Claudio could devote his thoughts to the mission at hand.

[break][break]

heheTo that end, he could more freely experiment.

[break][break]

hehe"Cloud-Cloud..."

[break][break]

heheFlipping backward again and again with the two in his grasp, the cloud attempted to use the force of his rotation to throw the two golems at their larger counterpart, aiming again for the spot he'd previously struck — the face.

[break][break]

hehe"Catapult!"

[Elijah]

Elijah could hear the cries from the couple as he pushed the boulder, wondering if what he was doing was a fruitless endeavour. Luckily he didn't have to settle on the thought as someone came by and lifted the slab effortlessly. He helped the victims up and sent them on their way, letting out a huff at her words. "Heroics major at UAU. I'm staying." He didn't blame her for not recognizing him, to be frank he didn't know her either. She was most likely in some kind of training if she was using her Quirk so freely.

Such speculation didn't matter when a resounding boom emanated from the titan. Or rather, below the titan as a bomb exploded on it. It kept its pace, not slowing in the slightest, but it did make it clear that someone else was also attempting to take it down. But it seemed problems would soon arise afterwards. Literally.

Elijah steadied his footing as the ground shook and smaller golems appeared from beneath, actually looking to fight unlike the behemoth before them. As he drew two knives in preparation to deal with them however, the same motorcyclist drove by, slapping something on one of the monsters' backs. It didn't take him long to connect them to the earlier explosion, nor for him to guess what the golem was now equipped with. One word rang clear in his head at that very moment as it closed in on them.

Shit.

With the tagged golem being the farthest, Elijah instead set his attention on the one behind the girl. "Duck." Hoping she'd trust him enough to heed his words he threw his knives forward, aiming to at least slow the earth being enough for her to react to its presence. He then turned to his own as he pulled out two more knives, forcing it back with the practiced, wide arcs. He eventually landed a kick to its chest and it stumbled on top of the one already set in its demise by the biker.

Distancing himself from the inevitable blast that was to follow, Elijah called out to the girl again. "Push yours towards those two and run."

---

OOC: Knives!!! Elijah noticed the bomb set by Retsu, so he pushed his mini golem towards it and told Emilia to do the same, throwing knives at her golem beforehand to slow down its approach then distancing himself from the oncoming explosion.

The situation had gone from bad to worse and Emi was clearly in over her head. Hell they all were even if they didn't realize it, but Emi was very in tune with hero work and what they usually dealt with. The Rumbling Golem was more akin to a force of nature than your average or even above-average hero.

After she managed to assist Elijah in saving the people that were trapped the adrenaline wore off just in time for Eli to correct her "I am so sorry! I'm Emi-uh...Lodestar" from her classes she knew that in situations like this you were required to use your hero name for many reasons, but mostly for your own protection. Since they were unlicensed students she knew that in situations of crisis they were allowed to temporarily disobey the outstanding rule of not using their quirk without permission.

Before she could inquire further about Elijah and come up with some sort of plan when another person was headed their way on a motorcycle and was carrying a disproportionate amount of bombs. She couldn't even process what was happening when the mini golems made the whole situation worse, popping out of the ground and surrounding her and Eli. She wasn't even sure where or how to start!

"Duck."

"Duck from wha- OW!" She felt a stinging sensation while in the middle of turning around as one of the knives Eli threw hit her square in the back of the head. It bounced off likely to his surprise but for Emi it still hurt really bad. "What the heck was that for I jus-" She wouldn't get a chance to finish her sentence as something else caught her eye. The foundation of a building near the golem began to crumble from the earthquakes and someone was clinging onto it for dear life.

So Emi moved. Her legs carried her faster than she could process that she was even in motion. The rest of the world blacked out for her as she was focused on not letting this innocent person die and when she was close enough she jumped into the air to save them. "You're gonna be okay!" She said to comfort them, but this person was a panicked mess, stuttering and unable to vocalize until they shouted out "RUN!" as she turned to see the looming foot of the golem over them. Even with her quirk there was no possible way she could move fast enough to get them both out of the way to safety.

So she made a choice.

"CATCH PLEASE!" She yelled at the top of her lungs in Elijah and Retsu's direction to get their attention as the shadow above her grew, Using as much strength as she could muster she threw the person she had saved to safety as the giant's foot descended upon her. Whether it knew what it was doing or not didn't matter as Emi crossed her arms over her head in one last-ditch effort to do what she could.

And with that. She was crushed.

✧ THE RUMBLING ✧

In mere seconds a whirlwind of events transpired as everyone begun fighting back against the giant golem in their own way. Retsu, weaving around the smaller golems that came for her, tossed a bomb to Shion above and then drove to regroup with Emi and Elijah, opting to help them out with their own small golem problem. In an explosive combo move, both Elijah and Emi managed to push their small golems towards the third one, which Retsu had slapped C4 on, just in time for the villain to detonate and blow up all three. As Emi rushed to help the civilian, their face was pale with fear as they looked up and saw the foot descending on them. All they could shout was the first word that came to them.

''RUN!''

The smaller golems that leaped after Claudio had no way to avoid his attack as they were both snatched out of the air and tossed at the big golem's head. At the same time in almost perfect synchroneity, Shion pulled the pin and tossed the bomb Retsu had given her, both attacks slamming into the golem simultaneously, just as the golem crushed Emi under its foot, the UAU student buried and squished under its massive weight. When the dust from the attack settled, several more cracks had formed alongside the giant golem's head and some small chunks had even begun to crackle and fall off.

Something in the giant's demeanor changed then.

It stopped. It's right foot firmly where Emi used to be, the brave hero student using her last moments to throw the civilian to relative safety.

Then, the giant golem turned it's battered, steaming head. Looking over each student and villain very carefully as if it was memorizing who they were and storing that knowledge for later. Something distorted emanated from its body then, like an old, breaking radio broadcast, it spoke.

''KILL ALL... KILL ALL...''

Looking towards Retsu and Elijah, the golem started winding one of it's arms back, lunging forward as it attempted to flatten the both of them with the palm of its hand, while still firmly keeping its foot pressed down on Emi. Meanwhile, the two smaller golems that had attacked Retsu earlier flanked the giant like loyal foot soldiers, looking up towards Shion and Claudio above, anticipating their next move.

For better or for worse.

You have all been noticed.

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------

TL;DR: Shion and Claudio with the help of Retsu inflict big damage on the giant golem's head, more steam rising out of it. Retsu helps Emilia and Elijah take out three small golems and in the process of saving a civilian, Emilia is tragically crushed under the giant boss's foot. The boss takes notice of everyone for the first time, attacking Elijah and Retsu by attempting to flatten them with it's hand. The two remaining smaller golems are flanking the boss and watching the skies intently for Claudio and Shion.

[Bakiri Retsu]

For a moment Retsu couldn't believe her eyes. The test was a startling success. Not only did it take down its target but with some elbow grease from the civilians -albeit she was starting to doubt they were just civilians- it even took down two more. It wasn't just that either. Even the grenade she handed to Brooms up there had some effect. The latter did much to motivate her decision to move on the moment they manage to take the big one down though. The authorities would probably find a way to blame her for the civilian getting caught underfoot no matter how little Retsu was to blame for maybe adding a bit more downwards force to the step by adding an explosion to the top of it. Hells, it was the Brooms up there that threw it anyway. They'd have to do a lot of mental gymnastics to pin the blame on her but she had no doubt the authorities were already limbering themselves up.

Other than that everything was going surprisingly well though. Really, really well. Almost to the point that she wondered when the other shoe would drop. 

''KILL ALL... KILL ALL...''

There it was.

"Oh, great."

She didn't bother to help the civilian that was tossed her way. Retsu had seen exactly what had happened to the last person who tried and with another one of the big lug's limbs about to be coming her way she was in no rush to share the same fate. Now she just had to make sure no one else would run in front of her bike the moment she took off again.

"Oy, you! Dreads! Take dese and 'vacuate 'im in that direction, he'll be safe there!" She lied while reaching into her backpack and tossing several random grenades -with the pin still inside- at him and pointing in the direction opposite of where she was going before she sped away. Leaving a wide berth around herself and the giant golem she circled to the other side of it tossing another sticky at the small golem closest to her on the way there. 

Now, how was she gonna take a crack at this thing without putting herself in harm's way? Looking up she got an idea and slipped an arm out of her backpack's shoulder strap before pulling the entire thing diagonally in front of her. Keeping her bike steady with one arm and circling around the thing without hitting any of the fleeing civilians was a pain but fighting that thing head on would likely be much more painful. Which was exactly why she tried her best to manage her bike's speed so she could try to stay behind it and decided to leave the dangerous parts to everyone else.

"Oy, Brooms and Fumes up there! Demolitions are working, come grab some!"

---

TL;DR: Retsu leaves the civilian and Elijah to their fate, tossing a few grenades with the pins still in them his way and telling him to evacuate the civi. She then circles around to the other side of the golem while tossing a grenade at the closest small golem and decides to pull her backpack full of bombs to her front for easier access and shouts at Shion and Claudio to come get some. All the while she paces her bike's speed to try to stay behind the big golem.

空襲。 [Now Playing: Burning Force!] For a second, there was a glimmer of hope within Shion's mind- a thought that maybe, the bomb for destroying armored vehicles had miraculously disabled a core component, whether mechanical or biological within the behemoth's head. A hope that just maybe, the terror was over. But that was all but crushed as the dust from the explosion he had caused blew past Shion, forcing him to squint his eyes as the view of the terrible foe became clearer. Still standing, now with its murderous intent clearly directed against everyone in the area.  This revelation made determination resound through Shion's mind as "The Rumbling" repeated their words- resolute, calm yet undeniably hostile. Even though he had already thrown a single military-grade explosive at them, the youth still had a hope that they wouldn't have to resort to outright murder in order to stop them.  But how could Shion think that when he had already drawn the proverbial sword, and swung it on top of that with the intention to kill? However, the cracks that formed on the giant's head was a clear indicator- the explosives were working to some extent, and enough of them would theoretically be able to stop this monstrosity.  "Got it! Just let me get over there!" Retsu and Shion appeared to be on the same wavelength. Just as the latter was feeling the need for another anti-tank grenade, the unknown villain's hollering reached his chilled ears from the altitude.  But he wasn't stupid. As it would be easy to just swoop down and get more grenades from Retsu, the two remaining golems getting in his way would certainly spell disaster if any of the bombs went off.  Right, strategy. As hare-brained as Shion was, he still had object permanence and could establish cause and effect. If Toto's maneuvers were enough to disorient the golem closest to him for a certain amount of time, he'd be able to get a bargain-bag full of those sticky bombs in no time! Now with a plan in mind, Shion put on a determined smile and looked down to Toto. Having no idea that one of his classmates effectively had her life ended in the past 20 seconds. Toto looked back at Shion. Alien eyes glazed and expressionless as always. "Counting on you, Toto! Go get em'!" Suddenly, he let go of his companion as his body was catapulted into the sky by Toto. The same alien creature that was now performing a nosedive towards the two golems, like a paper plane headed towards two bald school faculty members. Whether they hit them or not, the enemies would be forced to reckon with alien that was careening towards them with dead-set precision. Now free-falling, Shion's dull-colored eyes reflected the blue sky above him as he reached to his back, consuming himself in the sheer exhilaration of the moment, as his fingers wrapped around the handle of a cheap plastic broom. He needed to do this more often- feel the oneness of being in the sky. Falling with reckless abandon as the particles of air rushed past from beneath him. "Toto, come!" But just as Toto was in the midst of the remaining golems, and Shion was 3 seconds away from hitting the ground- the alien disappeared, leaving behind an old broom that clattered to the ground amongst the confused foes. The broom in Shion's hand warped and twisted, suddenly coming alive as the hard plastic gave way to fleshy biomass that resembled that of sea creatures like starfish. A multitude of eyes came into existence at the broom's midsection, and the duo would once again be flying, only a few feet off the ground as one of Shion's shoes skidded against the asphalt. In a second swift movement, he tore open the bag that was also strapped to his side and dived towards Retsu, dragging the open satchel through her backpack to get as many explosives as possible in a drive-by pickup.  "Thanks, lady!" He'd shout as he gained altitude with a small bag full of bombs, flying upwards with a big smile to rejoin Claudio in beating the absolute snot out of this monstrosity! TLDR: Shion performs a risky maneuver by having Toto charge towards the remaining golems to distract them as he falls, using his backup broom at the last second to re-summon Toto to his location and grab a bag full of bombs from Retsu.
