UGHHHHHH.[break][break]

when hikari signed up for uau, she didn't think half of her time here would be spent roleplaying as an ex-convict catching up on his community service—for example, cleaning up a beach from debris and litter from recent attacks. she had expected drama and intrigue and ACTION, not... god. whatever this is. the girl cringes as she uses a litter pick-up stick to impale what must be what once was a small picnic sandwich now incredibly soggy and covered in kelp and seaweed. she struggles not to gag as she tosses that piece of garbage into her large transparent bag and continues trucking along the beach alongside quite a few other uau students.[break][break]

had she known she would be picking up trash for an entire day on the beach, hikari would have never signed up for this activity. with all the rampaging sealife in the tokyo bay area, she figured she could be FIGHTING a SHARK right now, and not only would she be beating that shark's ass, she'd be doing so in her skimpy bikini with the high potential for cameras to be watching her. alas, it's an incredibly distant dream, only exacerbated as hikari pauses to glance down the rest of the beach ahead. trash litters every inch of the marina, debris from the attacks, and hikari lets out a loud sigh as she presses her stick into the ground and leans back on it, resting her already sore body. luckily for her, she took the initiative to apply tanning oil before coming out here, so at the very least she might get a good tan from this. indeed, the girl's skin is slick and shiny, and an overwhelming aroma of artificial coconut wafts off of her body. with her glistening red hair, it seems like, perhaps, she was made for the beach. though, of course, it's obvious she prefers to be sunbathing right now.[break][break]

unbeknownst to her and most other students on the beach, a large shadow stirs beneath the water and draws ever closer.

t's a sentiment shared among most the students along the beach. A sentiment vocalized as one student complains to the next, who then passes it on to the next, and so forth and so on. The sun beat down on the freshmen cohort like a drum. It was the mostly UAU newbies, first and second years, that filled the cleaning crew ranks- only grades naive enough to sign up for this thing. Farrin, meanwhile, kept to himself, poking at plastic bottles and bags threatening to be washed away with the sea. No seat turtles and such choking out on manmade junk on his watch.

Sweat poured from the lion's mane and into the black v-cut sleeveless he was wearing. With matching black shorts that could have been mistaken for trunks, he was ready to dive right into the waters and cool off a little, but alas, there was work to do. The time-turner tugged on his backpack, adjusting the straps to fasten his gear tighter, then started poking at more plastic. One bottle. Two. A can. A brown paper bag. He had something of a trash kabob growing at the end of his picker. 

"Disgustin," he muttered, dumping the garbage into the bag. The can was leaking beer. Contrary to the Irish stereotypes, Farrin was no drinker.

Step by step, he rounded the beach, tossing one trash bag into a pile to be loaded on a truck later, then made his way back out with another. No quirks meant he was basically crawling. When chronokinesis was down, almost as if in spite of his athletic frame, his body did not cooperate, he dragged himself back towards the waters and went about his work. It wasn't long before he stumbled on another student, a shapely girl who looked around his age and who also looked ready to take a dip. The UAU hivemind had clearly underestimated just how much garbage had littered the beach. It was looking pretty bleak for anyone hoping for R&R.

a black-haired boy draws near. hikari barely even glances at him, and almost seems to be ignoring him on purpose. as the tide rises and flushes over her bare feet, she refuses to acknowledge farrin, and even stops picking up trash altogether. with a laborious and high-pitched sigh, she decides it's break-time, and tosses her bag in one direction up the beach and her stick in the opposite direction, before raising her arms to the sky and streeeeeetching. her vision of this whole activity is that virtually no student in this school can live up to her, and none of them deserve neither her attention nor her charity—a philosophy that she so generously spreads to farrin. it's whatever, though—today is gorgeous, the sea looks beautiful, and hikari really wants to get into the ocean! nobody will notice if she steps away for a few moments, right? most of all, that black-haired loser won't be a snitch, right?[break][break]

without care for the consequences, hikari wanders off into the ocean, relishing in the sensation of warm sunlight flush against her skin. the cool saltwater flowers across her calves, then her knees, then the smooth expanse of her thighs, until she's submerged in the water up to her waist. with a smile, she shakes her head to gather all of her boisterous red hair behind her shoulders, and then pulls it up into a ponytail with the multi-colored, hawaiian patterned scrunchie on her wrist, at which point she delves deeper into the water. unbeknownst to her, the shadow that lingers in the water draws ever near, and even worse, as one of the only people in the water at this point, it's made hikari a target. moments pass in bliss, broken up only when hikari's sage-green eyes lock on rippling water a few yards away from her. she narrows her eyes and tries to ignore the pit that's suddenly opened up in her stomach. soon enough, though, the danger of the situation becomes simply unignorable when a shark-crab hybrid suddenly rises from the water in a burst of seafoam, propped up on it's spindly legs and clacking together some mouth mandibles in hardly mistakable fury!![break][break]

[break][break]

"WHAT THE HELL!!!!" hikari wails, terrified as she clutches her arms close to her chest and scrambles backward. the rapid way in which she does this tangles her feet up beneath her, and she ends up landing on her ass in the shallows as the shark-crab draws closer, lifting one huge claw and lurching it towards her body. all hikari can do is try to abscond, but as she does so, her hands only grip wet sand, and she finds no purchase in her attempts to escape the water, all of this chaos punctuated by her panicked cries of "omigod omigod omigod OMIGOD OMI—

he quizzical raise of the brow framed Farrin's face when he looked back up. The girl from before just discarded her gear, then... was... was she peacocking? Yup, complete misinterpretation when she stretches out and makes for the sea. And in his mind, it was as arrows against stone. Farrin was spoken for. Even as difficult as things became with Sada abroad all the time, his heart was hers and no one else's. That said, he wasn't about to chew this girl out or report her for taking a dip.

With a shrug, he was back at it. Another bag filled, tied, and discarded among the pile. When he moseyed back toward the waters thing time though, he was greeted by the girl's shouts. Something was moving out there. Something big. 

"Oh, what da' shite," he cursed. 

Another day away from campus, another day destiny wanted to see him throw hands. His eyes trailed the coast. More of these things. A lot more. Some students fell back. Others fought. The few hero-proctors that tagged along jumped into the mess. But there were only a few of them, and dozens of these creatures crawling out of the watery depths. 

Sanguine pearls grew gold, clock dials forming in Farrin's eyes. He darted down the beach and thrust his foot into the shark crab's nose. The beastie flipped over, only for two more to crawl up toward the students. "C'mon, get up. We need ta' get some solid footin," he offered Hikari a hand, his feet slowly sinking into wet sand. Not the best terrain for a scrap. "Eh, they're comin' in quick, so now or never." Had this not numbered life-threatening rumble number twelve or so, he might have been a little freaked out by the sea beasties as well. Now, his mind was on mission. Help those that couldn't - or wouldn't - help themselves, then beat the beasties back.

hikari's not necessarily dumb, but she's not particularly erudite either, and she displays this best in that her first instinct when facing this abomination is to grab wild fistfuls of wet sand and toss it at the thing's face. in any other situation, that may have been useful, but pocket sand doesn't work so well when it's moist and clumped together so tightly, and doubly so when the victim is a crab-shark. when the sand slams uselessly against it's face, tiny auxilliary arms, it's maxillipeds, reach up towards the two inky black eyes that poke up from it's head to gently scrape away the sand, like mini-windshield wipers. hikari, of course, despairs. "WHYYYYYYY," she whines aloud, her face twisting into an expression that can only be reminiscent of actual, genuine pain despite going untouched since this situation's advent. the only thing to break her from the despondency flushing through her mind is the sound of a voice punching through the equally outrageous noise of the shark-crab clicking it's mandibles together.[break][break]

he says something very reasonable, but hikari only barely hears him because she is very busy FREAKING THE FUCK OUT. she's here to be HOT, not be in life ending situations!!! she only scrambles to her feet because she risks certain death by willfully ignoring him. "you think i don't know that?!" she snaps at him, as if it had been her plan all along to get up and not get eaten by the weird crustacean monster. overweening as she is, she spends a significant amount of time wiping sand off of her backside as she retreats to higher ground, up and away from the abyssal seabeast.[break][break]

now, hikari breathes hard, chest heaving up and down, as she stands in the sand some yards away from the coastline. her green eyes survey the rest of the beach, which now crawls with the exact same monsters, each of them accosting either hero students or proctors, and even some unrelated civilians overseeing the beach cleanup. given that hikari's safety is secured now, though, it gives her just enough time to regain her poise. she assumes an overbearingly confident stance, throwing her arms out in a melodramatic display of false prowess. "that's ok, nova luna, the shimmering angel hero, is more than enough to like... kill these things, or whatever!" god, she hopes there are some cameras watching her. she's just so cool, afterall. "watch out, guy with weird accent. i'll save you!"[break][break]

hikari's eyes slowly glance up to her own shattered halo. ok. ummm can you like kill the shark pls.[break][break]

nooo.[break][break]

hikari's brows furrow. um. yes?[break][break]

why should we? sounds dumb. omg, just like u![break][break]

a frustrated sigh leaves hikari's mouth. cuz i'll get us iced coffee after?[break][break]

fine. but u better make us look cool while doing it.[break][break]

thank god. finally, a spectral shard of hikari's iridescent halo breaks away from the shattered seraph. with blinding speed, it zips towards the shark, and hikari's cry of victory is drowned out only by the beast's pained grunts as the shard slices open it's left side. blood flows from the deep wound down to the sand, mixing with the rising tide in an eddy of gore, and the scent of it only serves to anger the monstrosity further. the beast suddenly tumbling towards hikari on six clumsy claws cuts hikari's victory short, and she is once again left standing on the banks, clutching at herself and crying with panic.

vents unfold a scene of true Shakespearean tragedy. Or perhaps comedy? It was hard to tell. Atlantis's invasion of the land-dwellers world was not in Farrin's cards. Temporal sight was slacking. And these creatures were dangerous. On the other hand, the girl's bipolar confidence was quite a show. She scurried past Farrin, leaving the time-turner to kick another of the shark-crustaceans in the nose. Rumors be damned, it was working, but there were dozens of these things crawling up the beach. 

Sharp metallic fragments sliced and diced through the nearest sea beastie, slashing its side open. It almost looked like Sada's Halo. A heavy heart gave the time-turner a zeptoseconds pause. He missed her. Time spent abroad cleaved at his innards. But, if he was going to see her again, he had to secure his outwards. So, Farrin drove his fist into the closest approximation of an elbow joint of the nearest beast's largest claw arm. The appendage dropped, but it kept on coming. 

"Alright, that's 'nuff o' that," he muttered.

Farrin jumped back a few paces, then thrust his fist into the ground. A geyser of sand spat into the air and over the frontmost shark monsters. Meanwhile, in a blur of motion, Farrin swung his backpack over his shoulder, removed the contents within, his hero outfit, and swiftly changed. A nearly imperceptible action at time-turned speeds that would arm him with Kei's many creations. 

"I'll hit the newcomers," he said, eyeing two more monsters that crawled out of the sea. "You hit the ones I just covered."

This Nova Luna's earlier action, throwing the glob of wet sand, wasn't entirely moot. The creature had cleared its eyes. That was information. Usable information. Half the reason he struck the ground a moment ago and covered the closest of the creatures, but now they needed follow-up. 

"N' I've a name. Farrin," he said, diving ahead in a burst of speed that put him in front of the first oncoming beast. A swift kick to the jaw flipped it over. Out of the fight for a few moments at least. Just a million more of the monster to go.

dude with weird accent hits the ground and a wave of sand is sent over a newly-appeared gaggle of beasts that emerge from the sea, water sloughing off their bodies in addition to clumps of wet sand. though they are unbothered, it does give some time to strike them where it hurts while they're busy wiping sand from their eyes with their little auxilliary arms. hikari's first instinct is to start slicing them into little sashimi-sized pieces until farrin—apparently—gives her an order. hah! as if he thought of it first! hikari can't help it—though she has some positive traits, most of her peers would argue that her wealth of negative personality traits might outweigh the good. namely, she's stubborn, and she despises being told what to do. in her mind, she's better than farrin, she's better than all of her classmates, and she's better than every damn volunteer on this stupid, stinky beach. so, since she's so much better, she doesn't need anyone to tell her what to do, especially some foreigner who feels like he matters enough to tell her his name.[break][break]

"first of all, don't care, didn't ask," she barbs back at farrin, shattered halo shards glistening with arcane, warbling energy as they splinter around her head. "second of all, nobody tells me what to do!"[break][break]

as the shards of Hikari's halo swirl around each other, they form a star-like disc and head towards one of the shark monsters that farrin hasn't covered in his initial attack in direct violation of his order. the disc slices through the air with a high-pitched whine, leaving behind a trail of shimmering light. the beast open it's jaws in preparation to clamp down on any flesh it can find, but her shards reach it first, slicing through it's tough, rough hide like butter. it lets out a high-pitched cry of pain as blood erupts from the wound in it's chest, sprinkling the sand with crimson, and only flowing with more sanguine ferocity when the blood-covered shards of light suddenly disappear from it's wound and reappear above hikari's head.[break][break]

of course, that leaves the sand covered shark-crabs unaccounted for. one has already stopped clearing off it's eyes, and with a growl of warning, it immediately tumbles towards hikari, whose already busy flicking blood from her halo with a few telepathic orders. she's distracted enough to not even notice the danger she's in, fully focused on appearances.

I

t requires every ounce of temporal strength not to roll his eyes. Instead, Farrin charged the enemy with a sneer and a heavy-handed fist. The closest creature snapped at him. One bite. Two. Both near misses. Farrin's drove flipped over the beastie and drove his fist into its head. Its sharky core slammed into the sand, Farirn landing on its back, then took aim with his glove-mounted cannons. Two rounds slapped into the beast's back, a deep blue adhesive pouring over it and holding the monster still. 

A gilded stare fell on the other shark, blood framing its soon-to-be grave. Its death throes went silent. Had it been the obnoxious one's halo again? 

The sand-covered trio of beasts made their move. Sound tactics went ignored. Safety went out ignored and relatively safety out the window. Farrin sighed, throwing his arms up and launching another salvo of adhesive rounds from his linear cannons. Shark-crab number two saw one of its legs ensnared, three was covered almost entirely in the blue goo, but the first and fastest of the bunch was charging Nova Luna. 

Farrin leaped, time's passage sped a dozenfold, and the world went slow. He charged up behind the monster and snatched it by the tail. "Would yuh get yer' head ouch' yer ass n' get in the game," he shouted as the beastie snapped its jaws near Hikari. 

It lunged forward, teeth threatening to sink deep in its meal, but Farrin hadn't been training all this time for nothing. He tugged the monster back, and summoning his strength, whirled it about, throwing it into the second shark creature, which just broke free of the adhesive around its leg. 

"If yuh've an idea, by all means shout it out, but we need ta' be on the same page ta' be as effective as possible," he continued, forming up into the Emerald Fist as the creatures righted themselves and readied to charge.

[attr="class","hikari1-bulk"]

ooh, yikes. that one got pretty close. the only thing to keep her from becoming mince meat is some fast reactions on her part and a sudden interception from farrin, who grips it's tail just as she notices the danger she's in and rapidly backpedals. some people, like farrin, are used to these kinds of life-ending spectacles. other people, like hikari, have never experienced anything like this in their lives. this marks the very first moment hikari has actually been fearful for her life, and the pounding in her chest and the adrenaline pumping through her ears becomes an uncomfortable backing track to this cacophany of chaos. for the observant, they might notice that everytime hikari puts on airs of self-importance, it always serves to poorly mask widened eyes, panicked breathing, and jittery movements. for a girl that was never allowed to be anything less than flawless, genuine dread becomes an all-encompassing emotion for which she has developed no coping mechanisms. if farrin has yet to notice, she was not built for this life, and even she will admit that. she's only in this program for the publicity stunt, after all.[break][break]

and, even despite her terror, she remains intransigent even in the face of the demoic beasts. farrin's words fall on deaf ears and fail to penetrate her rock-solid inflated sense of self and ego. as she stumbles back into a lowered position, sending a spray of send up in the process, she rapidly masks her fear once more with overconfidence. "oh, stuff it, you weirdo!" she cries back—her comebacks seem to get worse with stress. "if you wanna be a little baby, then do it somewhere else!"[break][break]

beating back the crab-sharks seems more peremptory than ever, though. verdant scintillations of light spark into life around the shards that constitute hikari's shattered halo, and a few pieces lift from the whole with verve, forming a silhouette of a fallen angel slaughtered against the backdrop of blood-tainted sand and glistening red waves. like a deadshot, she closes one eye to minimize distractions, and she stills her breath with tremendous effort from her brain. she's in her happy place for a second. she's with papa and her kitty, shawshank. they're having a warm meal and talking to eachother from opposite ends of a very long table that should have seated many family members, occupied only by two people. they're laughing, back when papa could laugh. as her breath stills, the shards of her halo coalesce into one pin-sharp stake. there are whispers on the wind, each in hikari's voice, but in different melodies. not all of them are her as she is now. some are more childish, some are kinder, some are older. all she knows is that the voices stop when the shards fly forward at breakneck speed and embed themselves directly into the head of one of the shark beasts foreheads, going at least a foot deep.

oll his eyes? She's lucky now that he doesn't let the shark-monster go. UAU's student body came in all shapes and sizes- a hundred different flavors of crazy. Dark and broody, upbeat go-getters, wallflowers in need of a push. Quite a spectrum of students roamed the campus, but this one was hot sauce served in the ice cream parlor, entirely out of place.

"Useless," Farrin sighed. 

Frustration made for potent fuel. It flooded Farrin's veins, seared them hot, and thrust him forward toward the beasts. He hardly slept. Was attacked almost every instance he left campus, today included. He missed Sada. And the chronokinetic whispers in his ears were growing louder day by day. Bad to worse. Bad to worse. Again and again, everything went from bad to worse. Now, he had to babysit one of his peers while pummeling giant shark monsters. Would the madness only end when he did? 

A balled-up fist knocked the foremost creature down into the sand. The second lunged. Then splattered. A gusher of blood seeped over cold, dead eyes punctuated by a spike dug into the creature's skull. Its claws stilled. Its maw shut. She killed it. 

Farrin dared a glance back at Hikari. Okay, maybe she wasn't entirely useless. 

Sand spiraled into the air. One crusty leg after another, the third shark-crustacean charged. It swung one lobster-like claw, then the other. A snail's pace in Farrin's eyes. He dipped out of range, then threw himself forward. One arm latched onto the monster's nose, and a leg pinned the bottom of its mouth down. Farrin stuck his free hand into the belly of the beast and fired three rounds from his glove-mounted cannons. Incendiaries that burst into flames and cooked the creature from the inside out. Restraint would see innocent people hurt. He had to dial it up. 

It appeared the trio of creatures were the last in their immediate surroundings. Farrin backpedaled a few steps, then eyed the beach up and down. More were attacking in his periphery, but none in this immediate area. "I suggest yuh' group up wit' some o' the others. I'm gonna see where I can help," he shouted, taking off further down the beach. Hopefully, the situation would be contained before anyone was severely hurt.
