"Well done, young Hada!" Kenzou exclaimed as he burst through the gate with a flash of flames, his escorts following along behind him as they rounded up the armed yakuza members knocked unconscious from the blast of ice. Several of them had fallen from their positions on the wall, as well as others who shied away from the presence of the fire hero bearing down on them with a two meter long odachi— shouting at the armed members to put their weapons down. With his level of audio, there was no need for a megaphone. "This is the heroes and the police! We have a warrant to search this base on suspicion of illegal weapons manufacturing and the neglection of a young girl! I must implore that you throw aside your weapons immediately!"[break][break]

Most listened, a few didn't. They raised their firearms, fingers on the triggers, only to be met by Kenzou's blinding grin as he bore down on them with a single swipe to their guns, slicing them in half. Lowering his sword to their chins, he stared at them. "Please."[break][break]

With that, there was no arguing. [break][break]

They were promptly handcuffed. The giant intricately carved doors of the castle loomed before them, Kenzou momentarily stopping to raise a finger at Kei. "We shall proceed as planned! Yogi will lead your way, whilst I will follow up the rear!"[break][break]

Kenzou gave a genuine grin to Kei as the soldiers broke the doors down, following them. "At this point, the west group would have reached the other entrance and infiltrated the building. We are to cover the east side, and make our way down to the supposed basement where the weapons are being manufactured— or, little Koharu is hiding. So I ask you to put your brilliant brain and quirk to work to find this child so she may be relieved of her burdens." Kenzou put a hand on Kei's shoulder. "Can you do that?"[break][break]

As if trying to relieve Kei's stress, Yogi gave a comforting 'boof' at the student's side.[break]

Meanwhile, Kaida was still at war with the turrets that fired in her path as she dodged and weaved around the trees, ice dispersing from her mouth to obliterate each wall surrounding the castle. First the south wing, then the west, creating an opportunity for Luki's group to move in. Bullets sailed past her ears as she crashed through the north wing, finally disabling all turrets in sight, the fright of being shot at still hollowing her bones. [break][break]

Finished, she did not join up with her group just yet, landing atop the castle to claw her way into the building. There was someone else here that she had to find first. A special blood bond was at play, one that shivered through her flesh and gnawed at her skin.[break][break]

One of her siblings was here.

[Kei Hada]

As the flaming hero and his group burst through the doors, Kei couldn't help but wonder why the heck he chose to scale the wall and risk giving the turret the chance to shoot him point blank. It was stupid on his part; he should've known better. But at least he didn't get hurt. That always meant something.

He hung back as the criminals were apprehended, making sure he was as unnoticeable as possible. If they saw someone as young as him running around they might clock him as a target. Maybe a hostage, even. He didn't want to become a hostage for these people to bargain with.

He jumped at the finger pointed at him, snapped back to the plan at hand. "Right!" Kei followed the dog into the castle as instructed.

It was when he stepped foot in its hallowed halls that he stopped again to turn to Kenzou, listening intently to his words. East side, basement, Koharu. The name was ingrained in his head at this point. He couldn't care less about the weapons honestly. They had to get the girl out of this place.

So he took a deep breath at the hand on his shoulder. Laughed softly at Yogi's bark before nodding. "Yeah. I'll try." Try may have not been the best word to use in this situation, but at least he was honest.

He pulled away from the man so he could stand close to the wall. Lifting his hand, he placed it flat against the surface. And just like that, he could pinpoint the blood of everyone close by. Yogi's. Kenzou's. The soldiers'. Nothing stood out so far.

Trailing his fingers against the wall, they delved deeper in the building.

As they searched, any resistance was ultimately met with surefire readiness from the soldiers and Kenzou. Although not particularly powerful enemies, it was a reassuring sight to see a hero that had no value for money, or for fame; just getting the job done, and getting it done efficiently with everyone's hearts in mind. Any vagabond he cuffed was met with just a stern glare, and no provocation on his part, only sending a comforting glance at Kei before they moved deeper into the castle, hand on his sheathed odachi. Even after being grazed by someone's stray quirk he brushed it off, eyes rapidly looking for any kind of unusual pathway.[break][break]

None of the lieutenants had come to greet them yet. Were they simply hoping to whittle them down to exhaustion by their grunts before moving in for the kill? A dirty tactic, but smart. They had no care for their underlings. [break][break]

Until the hero abruptly stopped, holding a hand out for everyone to cease movement behind him. A breeze lifted his vibrant red hair, Kenzou stepping forwards to a seemingly normal panel in the wall. Kenzou raised his brows in surprise, before calling for Kei. "Try sensing here." He told him. "Something's afoot about this spot."

[Kei Hada]

The thing with his Quirk is it can be indiscriminate depending on what he needed to concentrate on. Kei couldn't tell friend from foe when it came to sensing blood; he could only warn that someone was coming, not who. Luckily it'd been simple enough so far. Anyone running towards them tended to be yakuza members attempting to intercept them and were then promptly detained. There was nothing in terms of secret passages so far though.

It wasn't until they were well within the estate when Kenzou needed him to check a specific spot. "Right there? Okay." Kei jogged to where the hero was and placed his hand on the wall. Sure enough, there were people right behind it. Something about the way the grunts stood made him pause before confirming the hero's suspicions though.

Due to the way his quirk worked, he could generally tell how a person positioned themselves by their blood. The ones who were hidden; their arms were held up roughly 90 degrees from their bodies. With that, he could tell they were facing the wall Kei was sensing them through. Which meant...

Fuck. Again.

Kei yelled with wide eyes. "Move!" His metal arms shot out to grab the walls behind him and pull him back just as bullets pierced through the wall where he once was.

Kenzou wasted no time in drawing his odachi, a wall of flame bursting to life and searing down the hallway the gunmen hid in, sufficiently melting any bullets that would have shot them. He grunted with the weight of exertion, glancing back at Kei. "Good call, young man!" Kenzou said. "I didn't sense any of them." Looking back down the tunnel, the hero tightened his grip. "But it means we're going the right way. There will likely be—"[break][break]

More of them.[break][break]

Bright white arcs of light thundered towards them at unfathomable speeds. Kenzou dodged the first arc of lightning, only to be tackled through the wall behind them by a blur of a figure, who rolled into his lunge, immediately on his feet. Kenzou whipped around to look for his odachi, seeing it laying a body-length away from him— his first instinct was to grab it, but he knew that would be a mistake for his opponent wasn't any ordinary quirk user. It sickened him to his stomach, seeing this man again. Waves rocked under his feet as he remembered.[break][break]

Katsuro Ikarashi. His white and black hair was a pale gold underneath the lantern light of the dojo they had landed in, tattoo on his entire right arm and chest on display, all the while glaring Kenzou down threateningly.[break][break]

"It's been a while, hero," Katsuro said scathingly. "Glad to see you're out of your bed. Of course a little coma wouldn't put down someone like you. Still," Katsuro got into a fighting stance, raising his open palms. "I think you should give your futon another visit."[break][break]

Kenzou sighed out his nose, gritting his teeth, weighing his options. He did not want to send Kei on alone, but with Kaida nowhere in sight, he was left with only his team to guide the student. Every second meant time. Losing time meant losing Koharu. Kenzou tightened his fists, crescents digging into his palms. There wasn't another choice. "Young Hada, I must command you to follow the leadings of my team and continue on without me." Katsuro did nothing as he retrieved his sword. "But do not worry. This..." Kenzou got into his own stance. "will only take a moment."[break][break]

"Ha." Katsuro scoffed. "That's what they all say."[break][break]

The next moments were terribly silent and long as they both thought out their plans of approach, only noticing the rumbling ceiling which shook rubble onto them seconds too late. The sky exploded as the dojo caved in, a familiar dragon's roar screeching out as Katsuro screamed before they were enveloped. Kenzou dodged backwards and peered through the dust with a cough as Kaida landed beside him, exploding from the debris. Go, her expression said as she opened her jaw, readying her ice. I will deal with this.[break][break]

Kenzou nodded without hesitation, running back to Kei and with a quick gesture, diving into the tunnel. This wasn't something he had any qualms with. It was a blood feud— getting in the way of the Ikarashi while they were having a spat meant all of their dooms.

His claws clinging the walls left the student suspended in the air, and as he watched the man torch away the bullets like they were paper, Kei couldn't help the embarrassment he felt over forgetting this guy was a hero. A professional you know? Of course he knew how to deal with guns. He smiled though at the praise. "Thank you!" He was helping. Actually helping the cause for real.

But he was quickly reminded there were things much more dangerous than mere bullets.

That came in the form of lightning. It caught Kagutsuchi off guard and he lost his blade, and out came the man who put the hero in that coma himself.

For seconds Kei didn't dare breathe, fearing Kaida's brother would focus on him as soon as he did so. He nearly gasped at the hero's request- what did he mean he had to go on without him? What happened to stick with him and everything will be okay? Kei wanted to protest; say he needed him, tell him the team needed him too when the roof caved in before he could do so.

The junior squinted through the dust and he coughed into his arm, eyes wide as he realized who fell through. Kaida. She couldn't speak but Kenzou seemed to understand her intentions, signalling for the student to follow him into the cleared tunnel. Well, Kei didn't need to be told twice.

With the rest of their squad, he delved in, hoping that his friend will come out on top in her feud with her family only in blood.
