[Kazashi McCoy]

She couldn't help but feel a little rusty. How long had it been since she had done hero work? Not just patrols, but proper hero work like putting her life on the line? Probably not since her last encounter with Daiki Kaneko. ''Ah think this is the place.'' She looked down at her phone to go over some of the mission files, but looked to Iphigenia for confirmation. It was refreshing working with the hero genius again, especially because they complimented each other's skillsets so well. Iphi was the type of woman who would get some galaxy brain revelations seemingly out of nowhere, or see through villains with one glance. She didn't know how she did it, but it was hella impressive. Herself on the other hand? She was good at thinking on her feet and beating people up.

The villain who had fled into the small house they were standing outside of was none other than Owlman. He wasn't notable on his own, but a lot of clues pointed to him being involved in something much bigger. With the element of surprise on their side they should be able to catch him here today. ''If ya don't mind Ah'll lead the way, if he tries ta fire any guns Ah'll shield ya, there's hardly anythin' that can beat my quirk.'' She grinned. ''Glad ta be workin' with ya again, Recall.'' Here she was getting sentimental before a fight, typical Kazashi!!

Turning her hand into a boot she slammed the worn door in pretty easily. Both Iphi and Kaz had a pretty sharp awareness, so they would be able to pick up on the sounds of hurried footsteps upstairs, something which she wasted no time acting on. Charging up, Kazashi barged into the next room to find their culprit already heading for the window. Knowing that it was Owlman, Kaz immediately turned her arm into a scarf and launched it at him, trying to tie it around one of his arms to prevent him from manifesting his wings. This would also lock him down, allowing for a follow-up from Iphigenia.

That's what would have happened if everything went according to planned, but despite the scarf connecting, she felt her grip slipping. His skin was oily, almost unusually so, as if he had activated a quirk to coat himself in oil in that instant... This wasn't Owlman at all, had they been tricked? ''Recall!'' She called out, hoping her genius partner was fast enough to do something.

Whether she caught up to him or not before he jumped out the window, moments later, before they could get their bearings, a huge purple box with limp tentacles coming out of the bottom and a handle on its side came slamming through the wall and rolled to the opposite side of the room. If Iphi was close enough to the window or the hole in the wall, she would be able to catch a glimpse of the chaos outside.

It was nice to see Apparel back in the field. Her and Iphi had crossed paths and worked together many times before with the first being when Iphi was a fairly recent graduate and Kazashi was in her freshman year. You couldn't even recognize the person she was back then compared to now; having gained so much confidence, she was willing to take point in the field. This was right after motherhood, and Iphi was definitely impressed! Iphi would smile as Kazashi volunteered to be the shield "As long as you're sure. It's good to see you back in the field, Apparel."

[break][break]
She would ready her own equipment taking a step back to allow Kazashi to enter first and get into analytical mode for their surroundings. The two-story building was likely 70-80 years old, based on the older building ordinance at the time, there would likely be seven rooms, and 2 exits, and if their culprit was on the second floor, they would probably choose a spot near the south side of the home as that provided the easiest access to the street in case they needed to make a quick exit.
[break][break]
Entering swiftly, she'd pick up the rapid footsteps immediately and follow after Kazashi before making a quick assessment of the bottom floor, listening intently to make sure there wasn't anyone else hiding out, whether they were a hostage or an accomplice. Satisfied with the lack of sound or movement she followed, watching as Kazashi went to catch the man before he jumped and following up with a shot from her own gauntlet to stun him. It was odd that her scarf capture failed? She didn't have much time to think about it, at least time relative to her, before they were dealing with the next crisis. A quick peek outside, Iphigenia could see chaos with what looked like mutated sea life running everywhere.
[break][break]
"We need to change our priorities. Out of the frying pan and into the fire" she remained calm as usual trying to determine the best course of action. "Apparel, you're going to want to look at this. We're going to need a lot of crowd control!" Whatever they ended up deciding she would start processing, trying to come up with the best plan to minimize the chaos. She was on the front lines this time and wouldn't be caught off guard like with The Rumbling.

''My quirk makes me a shield. It's okay.'' She smiled reassuringly, ''glad ta be back too, bein' at home was nice an' easy but it lacks the excitement our careers bring.'' In many ways, she couldn't have been where she was today without Iphigenia's help in those early years, something she would be forever grateful to her for.

Still surprised that her scarf had missed the mark, she was relieved that Iphi was a professional and wasted no time stunning the guy with a ranged strike, making him fly into the far side wall with a thud and a weak groan. ''Huh?'' She was about to compliment her partner, but it seemed like there was no time for it, especially not with the tentacled box that had just flown into the room. ''What the hell is goin' on?'' She had to look outside for herself to believe it. Another organized attack? Why were there so many mutated animals around? Was the box behind them one of them? Until now the box had been docile, but the lid of it slowly opened with a creak, blank, glowing eyes staring back at them.

''Yeah, looks like we've got bigger things ta worry about.'' She nodded at Iphi. ''I'll notify the other heroes in the area in case they haven't noticed.'' She took out her phone, but before she could send out a message, a faint music box-like tune started playing. Looking back at the box, it had wrapped one of it's tentacles around the handle on its side and begun slowly turning it.

''Is this thing an enemy?'' She glared at the box, raising her fists ready to throw hella down if it tried to come at them, but it didn't. It just stood there, playing it's song. Staring back at them.

Little did they know, it wasn't the box itself they should be afraid of. As the music that leaked out through the hole in the wall and reached the streets caused a lot of the mutated monsters to stop what they were doing and head towards the sound of the box.

As if the situation couldn't get worse their new objective of securing the area and preventing any casualties had now shifted to their own survival. The tentacle playing the music seemed to have an effect on the other creatures roaming the area. Iphi's eyes narrowed as she watched their movement seeing their ears or sensory extremities perk up as the sound of the music permeated the area. Leaving Kazashi to relay the information to the local authorities her job was to analyze the situation and figure out a solution to their growing problem.

[break][break]
Taking a moment to peer into her mental vault she focused on the melody of the song the creature was playing in an attempt to highlight some sort of pattern or anything to give them an advantage. Unable to parse any information from this alone she would speak up "I'm not sure. The origin of this creature and the others outside seem to be completely new." if this was something being reported prior to this she would have heard and definitely would have remembered it "Information is power so we shou-" she wouldn't get to finish as a much larger tentacle would shoot through the window and wrap itself around her with a monstrous fish looking person using this as leverage to climb up through the window. "Apparel, little help, please," Iphi would say calmly as she tried to free herself from its grasp.

After the initial shock and confusion she was quick to send out the signal on her phone. She figured just a distress signal would be good enough seeing as this was out on the streets and she didn't exactly have time to explain what was going on seeing as her and Iphi were caught in the eye of the storm.

She trusted Iphi and took her word for it when she didn't deduce anything at a first glance. It didn't seem like a targeted attack, but rather like something had just broken out outside at the same time they were trying to arrest this guy. Speaking of, the guy was still on the ground, groaning and recovering from Iphi's attack. ''Creepy. That yer attack or somethin'?'' She walked up to the box, unsure if she should try to break it with her fists or hear it out. She whipped her head around immediately once the tentacle grabbed Iphi, wasting no time coming to her partner's aid. ''Oi, oi!!'' In an instant her hands morphed into a pair of combat boots, spiky soles too, bastard deserved it for grappling her friend. ''Who the hell do ya think ya are?!'' She would aim a flurry of punches at the fish person, trying to inflict a lot of damage in rapid succession so that it hopefully felt overwhelmed and let go of Iphi.

She hadn't been targeted directly by an attack yet and somehow her left leg was still hurting. It wasn't until she looked down and saw a swamp of fanged shrimps had crawled up the side of the building and begun biting into her leg. ''T-This thing!'' She grimaced, trying to shake them off by changing the texture of her leg. ''Recall, Ah think they're drawn ta the music!''

Iphi had the utmost confidence in Kazashi's abilities. She had basically watched her during her entire UAU tenure and she was extremely capable even among her peers. It was that and Iphi being able to logic her way out of fear that kept her calm even in the grips of this monster. All she had to do was plant her feet and pull against it until Kazashi could take care of it. She would do just that effortlessly wailing on the creature until it let go and Iphi was free to continue her deliberation.

[break][break]
To most it must have looked like she was distracted, but she was actually focusing on the melody of the song. Musicology was definitely not something she had much experience in as she didn't play any instruments and was at best a casual music listener, but the theory was still there. The theory that when music was played in a certain key it had different effects on different living things. Some of these would repel the creature such as a dog whistle or rodent repellant and others were said to soothe and lure them in. Clearly the latter and there was something in this song that Iphi could use to her advantage.
[break][break]
Still they were a team so Iphi would share her thoughts as she readied her gauntlet to shoot at the intruders biting at Kazashi "I'm gonna use this on low power." She would fire at Kazashi's transformed leg to assist in removing the small creatures "There's something in the music they're attracted to; I need more time to figure it out. Think you could be my shield for now?" she smiled at Kazashi highlighting her eagerness to be the protector this time around. If she could just have a few minutes, she could isolate that sound, and they'd be able to get out of here. Well, that was if Kazashi could take on the growing number of sea creatures.

[Kazashi McCoy]

''Serves ya right!'' She spat at the creature after pummeling it enough to let go of Iphi. Kazashi was more of a versatile fighter than anything, between the two of them Iphi was the brain, but also the calm and rational one contrasting herself, who had a tendency to lose her temper at times. When her friend aimed her gauntlet at her leg she shifted slightly in place to make her job easier. Old Kaz might have winced at the thought of being nicked by her attack in the process, but current Kaz didn't fear pain. Not after all the fights she had been through and hella not after giving birth!

''More time? Leave it ta me!'' She grinned confidently, before using her quirk once more, this time changing her entire body into a pink onesie with bunny ears, except for her hands which she turned into black boxing gloves. ''If ya need emergency shieldin' gimme a shout an' Ah can cover yer body.'' For now it made more sense that she covered her back and attacked any creature that advanced on their position. She didn't really keep track of them, but there were sharks, snakes, carnivorous flying fish, all manner of sea creatures that were attracted to the creepy song. Seeing as there was no pattern in what kind of animals attacked them, safe for them all being connected to water in some way, that meant Iphi was probably on the right track to solving this puzzle.

A tentacle came sailing towards her at high speeds like a projectile, and moments before it could hit Kaz she turned into a beanie, reducing her own hitbox to dodge the attack. Then, she turned into a red scarf and wrapped herself around the tentacle, snaking along it as fast as she could until she reached the giant squid that was attacking them. Popping back out into her onesie form, she turned her hands into old school diving helmets and slammed them into the beast, panting as it hit the ground. ''There's no end ta them..'' She quickly rejoined Iphi, kicking a toad with bat wings out of the way before it could reach her partner. ''Any luck, Recall? At this rate Ah'm not sure how much longer Ah can fight 'em here, not without reinforcements.''

The number of these creatures was rapidly increasing at a rate that was unprecedented. If they were truly mutated sea creatures and not just related to a quirk then the numbers would only go up from that point. There were so many organisms in the ocean that if they truly left this unchecked, it wouldn't just be the Bay Area but the whole of Tokyo that would be overrun. Plus as good as Kazashi was she couldn't hold off forever! She needed a sample of the melody.

[break][break]
Taking out her phone she'd start recording as she got closer to the music box, trying to get the full melody it was playing on record. From there it was a gamble to see if she could finish in time, but if she could get the key and the notes of the melody to inverse their was a good chance they'd end up with a sea creature repellant; just like a dog whistle.
[break][break]
Luckily, the extra time she took to look around the lower level of the building gave her something to work with. Without her computer it would have been difficult and fortunately this place had one. It wouldn't be hard to get into it but uploading the audio and then modifying it would take some time. She'd relay this to Kaz "I need to get downstairs! Hold off as long as you can and pull them back to the lower level when you can!" she'd swing up the door and rush downstairs, getting to work to getting into the computer rapidly going through the list of the most common passwords until she finally cracked it. Now it was just a race against time.

[Kazashi McCoy]

She was no stranger to being outnumbered in a fight, but this was getting ridiculous. If only Chuck or Mochi was here with them. Then again, Chuck wouldn't really work out since someone like Iphi might figure out his true identity if she saw him fight alongside her. As much as she wanted Mochi's help too, she was glad that she was presumably safe from all this up in Nara. Weaving around monster attacks she continued to fight back, making sure none of them reached her partner. Thank goodness for her inhuman reflexes!!

''Downstairs? Ya got it!'' She had no clue what Iphi was planning, but it was the best shot they had. Taking a deep breath, she turned most of her body back to normal, only keeping one hand transformed. In a roundabout way, maybe she could conserve the power of her quirk if she used less of it at a time. Focus on dodging, reinforce her attacks with her quirk's durability, that kind of stuff. Taking down another monster she pondered Iphi's words again. Pull them downstairs when she can, that meant she didn't have to wait for a signal, right?

Having managed to decrease their numbers somewhat, she waited for her opportunity when one of the bigger monsters lunged at her, latching onto it and protecting herself as they flew down the stairs together. ''Sorry for the intrusion!'' She called out, punching monster into the adjacent wall as they both got up. Her lungs and muscles were burning, screaming out for a break, but she knew she couldn't rest until they were both safe.

It was nice having a partner again that Iphi could treat as an equal. She had spent a lot of time recently mentoring students and taking them out for field work that meant she was responsible for their safety. She was responsible for Kazashi's safety as well but the same could be said in return. Even in this harrowing situation, there wasn't a single doubt in her mind that she couldn't handle herself and that was good enough!

[break][break]
Working as quickly as she possibly could, she would use the computer to log the audio from her phone. Once it was up, she was getting to work in getting the playback to inverse the cords and find the right frequency. This in itself wasn't too hard it was the file needing to compress and then sending that to her phone which was difficult. She was about 75% of the way there when the crashing of Kazashi alerted her to their time running out. Even from where she was sitting she could see more and more of these sea creatures gathering outside of the window as they tried to get in. The melody played by their "leader" was on a frequency that she planned to take advantage of.
[break][break]
"Finished!" she'd jump up from her seat with her phone in hand and hustle over to Kazashi. Holding up her phone she'd play the tune she created from the original melody and turn the volume up as loud as possible. The resulting sound clearly caused the creature pain as it began to writhe uncontrollably and instead of attacking was now focused on escape more than anything. "We'll need to stop that music box. Let him go, and we'll drive all of these creatures out of the town." she'd leap past the Kazashi and make her way upstairs, all the while holding the phone over her head.

[Kazashi McCoy]

''That's all ya got?'' She grinned at the monster as it staggered, waiting for it to make it's next move before she threw out a counter. It was a miracle that they had started the fight inside of this building and not out on the open street. At least the close quarters and the fact that she could abuse corners was a major benefit to her personal fighting style. Even if her and Iphi were outnumbered, it was much harder for the monsters to surround them when they were inside.

''W-What the hell's that?'' She grimaced, still no clue what Iphi was working. Some kinda tech magic clearly! Putting a hand on her shoulder, she turned her whole body into a long black coat and a pair of noise-cancelling earmuffs just in case she needed to protect Iphi from her own hellish melody. It also somewhat protected her own ears which was a win-win. ''Ah see, so that's what yer plannin'!'' She grinned, although Iphi wouldn't be able to see it.

One of the monsters fired projectiles at them when they made it to the top of the stairs, but Kazashi was able to deflect them with ease. Turning her right sleeve into a scarf, she grabbed the creature by the throat before turning her whole body back to normal and initiating another beatdown to send it flying out of the whole in the wall. ''We've had enough of yer melody, about time ya shut up!'' She shouted at the music box, still completely unbothered by their presence. She wasn't sure exactly how she was going to get it to stop playing, but she had an idea.

Violence.

''Yer not the only one that's got many arms!'' She panted. Shit, she was going to be tired after using her quirk this much, but if they could evacuate after the fact that would be great. Concentrating her quirk into her arms, she turned the both of them into a dozen scarfs, almost as if she was replicating the tentacles the box had. She then moved around to the box's back, grappling every tentacle, including the one that was turning the crank that was playing the melody, in the hopes that cuffing the thing would make it's tune die out. ''What now, Recall?'' Her voice was strained as she fought to keep the box down with every muscle in her body.

The plan was a success! At least in the immediate vicinity, the melody being played from her phone was enough to debilitate them to turn the tables. Not that Kazashi needed much help as she was stronger than Iphi was by a wide margin on the physical spectrum. Having the ultimate flexibility in defending herself and others by turning into clothing of various shapes, sizes, and varieties was just the cherry on top! The extra defense was greatly appreciated, especially when Iphi was trying to concentrate on projecting the music the best she could.

[break][break]
Their joint efforts proved more effective than she had hoped as the music from her phone was now causing whiplash for the creatures in the range of it's influence. They were being incensed by the music box and repelled by her own inversion of the music at the same time, and it was clearly affecting their decision making. The only caveat being that the music box was louder than what Iphi's phone could muster. As always though she had a contingency planned in case her initial efforts weren't enough.
[break][break]
"You doing okay?" she'd remark to Kazashi as she turned herself back to normal. She was panting and clearly being worn down by the nonstop fighting, yet she didn't look injured. A testament to the durability of her quirk! Holding back the music box the melody was starting to die down as the creature struggling to continue playing which made the rest of the creatures coming after them start to turn. "Hold very still, Apparel. I'm not going to kill this thing, but we do need to disable it"
[break][break]
She would steady her gauntlet, aiming her right hand like a pistol with one eye close to mimic a scope. Charging up a decent amount of air pressure, she could condense it into the smallest area possible and aim from above towards the handle as it was facing the floor. She couldn't afford to knick Kazashi with the gauntlet at this level of strength or she risked punching a hole through her transformed arms. With a 'bang' she'd fire to break off the crank making it virtually impossible for the music box to keep playing which subsequently resulted in her own melody becoming the default and repelling those in the building.
[break][break]
"Think you can carry that with us? We'll need to make it to city hall and get this playing over the emergency system so we can drive all of these creatures out in one go." assuming Kazashi was up to the task Iphi would make her way to the hole in the wall leading outside before turning back and with a big smile she'd add "Oh and welcome back"

''Never been better! How about ya? Not hurt are ya?'' She grinned at Iphigenia reassuringly. ''A little rusty, haven't dealt with somethin' this crazy in a while. Ah thought this was just goin' ta be a routine patrol an' nothin' more.'' She bit down, gritting her teeth as her muscles pulled against the box's struggling to break free. ''Got ya! It's not goin' anywhere, yer free ta take aim.'' No matter what, this was one hell of a welcome back to the hero life.

With a bang the crank flew off as her partner fired her gauntlet. ''That should do it.'' The box had eased up too, almost as if it was giving up the fight. ''Ah can carry it, but Ah think Ah'll have ta evacuate after, Ah'm gonna lose control of my limbs once my quirk wears off.'' Picking the box up with her scarf arms, she fastened the thing to her back as she turned the rest of her body into a medieval suit of armor, making sure that the box couldn't try to choke her or anything like that. As long as her quirk held up and they didn't get attacked, nothing could go wrong now. She smiled when Iphi welcomed her back, feeling a kind of excitement she hadn't felt about work in a long time. ''Thank ya. Happy ta be back.'' She jumped out of the hole in the wall and slammed into the ground below, heading towards the city hall with Iphi where she could presumably get some much needed rest from the chaos before she turned into a coward who couldn't fight anymore. She was already feeling it as they were walking away, her drawbacks. That little voice in the back of her head saying that fighting any longer than this would be futile, and that they were both going to die if they walked back towards the shore.

Hopefully Chuck was safe with the kids.
