[Shirayuki Mai]

Deep within Ground Beta a warehouse had been prepared. Set within the center of a square of chain-link fences each two hundred and fifty meters in length and surrounded by rows of containers on all sides the warehouse itself was a hundred and fifty meters long, a hundred wide and roughly thirteen high. Every corner of the fenced off square was capped with a small guard post containing three guards and each minute saw another patrol of two walk around the outside of the fence armed with flashlights to see through the evening gloom. It was one such patrol that almost walked past a certain group of three drawing closer to the barrier. Almost.

"Contact. Engaging!" One of the guards shouted, a mohawked man whose eyes shone red, his quirk's ability allowing him to see through the dark in far more directions than the thin cone of light shone by his flashlight. Several small red orbs shot out of his eyes and at the group while his partner's hand slammed into the ground causing a waist-high wall of concrete to rise which they both promptly crouched behind for cover. Less than a second later a blaring alarm went off. The earbuds each of the students had been provided crackled for a moment before Yuki Onna's voice came out of them.

"Team A. Engage before the enemy can respond. Speed is of the essence."

From the surveillance room Mai observed the scene through a variety of screens. On the corner of the fences nearest to the group one of the guards was forming floating darts of ice, ready to provide covering fire the moment he got a bead on any of the students. Further in another group of the 'kidnappers' rushed towards the scene while more strapped on their gear and headed off to secure the perimeter. Leaning towards the mic Mai focused on the most relevant parts.

"Enemy reinforcements inbound, ETA forty seconds. I can see three ways in. Seventy five meters straight ahead of your position there's a bi-part sliding door, presumably where large transports enter and leave from. Eighty-five meters diagonally northeast there's a fire exit propped open with a brick. Finally to the side of the building a hundred and ten meters from you there's scaffolding leading all the way to the roof. Choose your entry route and be quick about it. Don't falter. Don't slow down. Give it all you've got but above all stay safe. Yuki Onna out."

A crackle and a click signified Mai letting go of the push-to-talk button. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Despite not being there in person -or perhaps because she wasn't there in person- she couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Good luck everyone," she muttered under her breath. There wasn't much else she could do other than hope for the best.


TL;DR: Your group of three is spotted when approaching the perimeter and comes under fire. The race against the clock begins and you have three options to make your way into the building. A large bi-part sliding door at the very center of the warehouse's front; A fire exit set off a bit further to the side and finally scaffolding next to the building leading up to the roof.

[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... This was one more thing she had to ask Ana to help her with in the future. Night operations was something that Jun wasn't perfectly prepared for, and something she didn't think she ever would be. For starters, her suit had a giant white stripe on it. That could easily be picked up in the dark on something crucial, like this mission (simulation or not, she was taking it seriously). The second, more glaring issue, was the fact her quirk emitted a decent amount of light. Even if she wasn't using hope her constructs could at the very least tip people off that something was up. While she had never worked with Elijah before, she was familiar with Emi. Despite his outward demeanor, she at the very least gave him the benefit of the doubt; he could make it, right? Anyways, she had put on a black hoodie to wear over her uniform to try and mask some of the more glaring parts of her suit, not to mention keeping a lid on her quirk for the time being. And for the most part, things were going well! Granted, this patrol was a little too close for comfort, but- "...Ah, no." It was here that she let her frustration manifest, flinging a manifested Mjolnir at the barricade to expose the pair behind it, or at the very least get them out in the open. Jun mostly wanted to test her ability to breach this session with her cannons, but that required the element of surprise. Something that they now didn't have. Jun knew about the towers and the patrols, and with the alarmed raised and instructions being fed to them she pulled her hoodie off, tossing it to the side. "Two of you go on ahead, I'll try to provide a diversion! Keep in touch!" She held up a hand, the quartz flashing to life for a second time as she generated a variable battery of searchlights, the bigger focusing on the two men in front of her while the four smaller ones focused on two of the watchtowers she had eyes on, two lights per tower. "Alright, you poozers! This is your one and only chance, put down your arms and surrender, or...or I'll have to make you regret your life decisions!" Yeah, that oughta convince them!

Emi was relieved when she met the people she'd be teaming up with- Jun and Hawthorne. Both people she was very familiar with and had worked with in the past successfully were also friends to her in her eyes! This assignment they were on was a bit different than what she was used to as Emi's discipline was combat not rescue. However, all hero course students were required to take courses in the other disciplines to make them well rounded.[break][break] In a stealth version of her hero costume where the yellow and purple were replaced with black and grey, she made her way alongside Jun and Hawthorne, bringing up the rear. She was fairly certain she was the slowest one of the group while also being the most durable so if they were flanked she could buy some time for the others to get away. [break][break] "I think if we go around that tower we ca- oh crud." they were spotted and Jun took it upon herself to be a distraction. "The door! I can pull it open enough for you two to slip in!" she would activate her quirk and begin running, gesturing for Hawthorne to follow her. All they needed to do was just make it inside and hopefully all in one piece. [break][break]

[Elijah]

Elijah favoured stealth missions. It involved silence. It involved avoiding attention. And, typically, it involved working alone.

Not the case this time however as he looked to the other two students he was grouped with for the rescue simulation.

Though he supposed he should be thankful he was working with competent people. While he never met Jun, her being in her third year at UAU meant she at least knew how not to fail assignments.

Then there was Emilia. He knew her for her strength and willingness to sacrifice herself in times of real crisis. She seemed the type to prefer doing hero work out in the open, but he's not one to underestimate others. He was sure she'll take this test just as seriously.

Their infiltration had barely begun when they've been spotted however. He huffed as the alarm sounded.

So much for stealth.

Outfitted in dark, more fitting garb than his usually baggy attire, Elijah pressed into his communicator to respond to Yuki Onna and Jun as he followed behind Emilia. "Affirmative. We're heading towards the sliding doors." A glowing hammer of all things getting thrown at the barricade was certainly a diversion.

Not to mention the glow Emilia was emitting when she used her own quirk as well. "You make your way to the door." His arm clicked subtly as he eyed the ice darts flickering in the dark. "I'll ensure nothing surprises us." He veered away from the other freshman and dove underground.

Elijah would resurface once he's at the fence corner and aim his fist at the guard, attempting to fire foam at his eyes before he could launch his attack.

---

OOC: Elijah tells everyone they're heading towards the sliding door and that he'll make sure nothing surprises them before separating from Emilia. He uses his (non-light emitting) quirk to slip underground and engage with the corner guard, trying to blind him with foam before he could strike back.

He's using his Kit arm for this thread!

"Copy that," Mai replied curtly while checking the cameras. Junsuina's Mjolnir had broken a large part of the patrol's impromptu cover and nearly hit the man with the infrared quirk, the sudden source of light having made him instinctively squint and fail to dodge in time. Only his companion's quick shove had prevented him from being hit by more than a glancing blow. Seeing said companion drag him to the side while erecting short obstructions between them and Team A, Mai stopped paying attention to them and focused on the rest of the scene. 

Just before the search lights could go up Elijah managed to get to the guard, blinding him and causing him to refrain from firing the ice shards in favor of trying to clear his eyes. It'd likely take him a while. From the guard post it was clear to see that several groups of reinforcements had averted course to head Junsuina's way creating exploitable gaps in the perimeter.

A dozen meters away on the order side of the fence one such group was directly in between Emilia and the door as both hero student and hostage takers alike ran towards each other on a collision course. Spotting the approaching foe the foremost member of the group -a guy with bat wings for ears, sharp teeth and a padded iron pipe in his hand- pointed at her. Immediately his two accomplices, a woman that seemed to shimmer like an oil spill and a man that had jagged spikes protruding from his arms, looked her way as well and continued on in a much more guarded manner.

Another group came in from the side, closer to the guard post. One of them pulled a tightly ball of vines out of the ground that were so tightly bound it seemed like they'd burst open violently the moment they impacted anything. The second person with him stretched out his earlobe as far as his arm could reach creating an improvised sling. Should they be left to act uninterrupted Emilia might face a nasty surprise.

Mai hummed to herself. It seemed the situation had gotten rather chaotic. Even so it wasn't anything beyond what the students could take. That meant it was time to activate one of the additional variables. Making sure the mic connected to Team A's earbuds was off Mai pressed the push-to-talk button on another.

"Ghosthound. You're up."

"Finally!"

"Remember. This is a training exercise," Mai made sure to emphasize. Static answered her. Team A however would receive a far clearer indication as to his presence. A loud howl resounded from behind the group shortly before a blindingly white werewolf barreled towards Junsuina, threatening to bowl her over and sweep past to the rest of the team should he fail to be stopped. 

---

TL;DR: Junsuina and Elijah respectively put the patrol and guard post out of action clearing the way for Emilia to rush straight ahead. While the majority of the reinforcements are funneling towards Junsuina's distraction two groups risk intercepting Emilia before she manages to reach the door. The first coming from the direction of the door and on a collision course with her and the second setting up a sneak attack from near the guard post. As if the situation couldn't get any worse a werewolf transformation quirk user attacks from behind, threatening to catch the group in a pincer attack and sweep them all away.

[Elijah]

Successfully blinded by the foam, Elijah gave the guard no time to recover as he aimed a metal fist directly at his head. Only when he was down for the count did the freshman turn to watch what was happening with the rest of his group.

Suffice to say, they were quickly outnumbered.

Several reinforcements were heading Jun's way, diversion that she was, while those closest to the door were intercepting Emilia. He was ignored as far as he was concerned. Likely because he didn't glow in the dark like the others did.

Which meant he had time to analyze the best approach. Most of their opposition made themselves known with their rushing towards their team, but from his location he could spot a couple guards who remained stationary. They looked to be setting up something instead. Elijah squinted.

Those were his targets.

He pressed into his communicator. "Mood Ring. You will have to handle the reinforcements on your own for the time being. I need to reduce the numbers on Lodestar." Surely the junior would be fine. She's further in her years and can apparently conjure several different things out of thin air.

Elijah began his run as he contacted Emilia. "Lodestar, stay your course. There's more guards than the ones in front of you but I'll intercept them." He grimaced at the sudden howl in the air, but he had to keep to his target. He couldn't be everywhere at once.

When he was close enough to the pair preparing to slingshot... whatever it was they were about to launch, he'd be quicker on the draw by pulling a dagger from his holster and throwing it directly at the ball.

Here's hoping his blade strikes true.

---

Elijah punches the ice guy unconscious before surveying the scene, opting to handle the vine ball and earlobe guards. He lets Jun and Emi know this through the communicator as he runs to the guards in question, throwing a dagger at the vine ball before they could slingshot it at Emi.

Things had escalated quickly with Emi initially unsure what the best option would be. Unfortunately for both her and Jun they were essentially targets if they tried to fight at full strength. The glow of Jun's hard light constructs and Emi's radiation made this whole stealth operation more of a...well, it wasn't that anymore.[break][break] With the guards rushing her from the front and Jun being flanked she was put in a position where she had two options: Either keep going forward to be a distraction for Hawthrone or backtrack and help Jun in case she got overwhelmed. As she ran forward, she was becoming increasingly unsure about which was the better option, and time to make a decision was running out. [break][break] The static on her comms as Hawthorne came through with a plan made her relieved and gave her the push she needed to think outside the box knowing that she had the support of her team. "Ju- Mood Ring when you see a blue light, duck!" She would engage her Rad-Condensors, filling them with energy to charge their output to the maximum. When this was finished she would spin, skidding on the ground and jump a few feet into the air, and aim a punch at the Werewolf headed to Jun. The wind pressure created by her strike would send a blue light flying in that direction. [break][break] She didn't have time to assist Jun any further as she landed and turned back towards her opponents, striking out at them with rapid punches as she charged forward. Assuming they didn't put up too much resistance if she was able to make it to the door she would attempt to pry/hold it open for long enough that her teammates would make it. [break][break]
tl;dr[break]
- Emi gets onboard with Elijah's plan and uses her Rad-Condensor (Gear) to throw a ranged punch at the Werewolf[break]
- She throws more punches at the guards coming towards her[break]
- Either attempts to or gets to the door and holds the line the best she can.[break][break]

[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... With Elijah knocking out one of the towers it gave Jun the ability to take those lights and to direct them at the incoming reinforcements, along with the big light. She couldn't keep them up forever, either; she didn't have to look to see two stones already gone. That said, she was creating a massive advantage for herself by keeping the lights to her back. Technically speaking, if this scenario was real then they would have failed as anyone inside could easily handle the hostages, leaving the infiltration all for naught. Buuuut there might be something at play if the scenario was still going. As the reinforcements closed in she sprung into action; she wasn't worried about handling goons like this for the team. Each person focused on her meant that her partners had a higher chance of getting inside and rescuing the hostages, and because of her quirk this was for the better. She'd enter the melee and do everything in her power to keep the reinforcements busy, whether it be disabling shots or general evasion. The giant wolfman was a problem, though. It was either abandon the one thing evening the odds or take her chances with what little light there was in the area. Thankfully, Emi came in clutch with a massive shot that Jun (barely) had time to dodge. Don't cut it close next time, Jun, she thinks, pushing herself up and down away from her team. "Nice work, you two!" she says into the comms, heading for an alleyway while bringing at least the big light with her. "I'm gonna try to get as many as possible following me, maybe pick a few of 'em off. See what you can do on the inside!" Shirayuki Mai,junsuina,Emilia Hall,Elijah, tl;dr: -Ye olde "fight with the sun behind you" trick on some of the reinforcements -Gets down when Emi calls for it -Initiates "Follow the Leader!"

[Shirayuki Mai]

A single blade darted through the gloom. Flying straight as an arrow Elijah's knife hit its target dead on and caused the ball to burst. Vines expanded every which way, entangling the group that was about to launch it and causing them to go down before they even realized they were under attack. The vines constricted the moment they finished expanding, pulling the whole group into one neat pile. When the sidekick Vinetangle signed up to assist in UAU's exercise she certainly hadn't imagined her (allegedly) famed signature capture technique would be turned on herself so easily.

Further from the warehouse Ghosthound was sent sprawling from Emilia's shot, stunned but not yet out of the fight. Either way it'd take him a bit to gather himself and go after Junsuina again. Not that Gungnir had the time to confirm her success for mere moments later the enemy was upon her. Batguy attempted to block with his iron pipe but proved woefully unprepared for the weight of her blow. Spikes on the other hand was a bit tougher to deal with, forcing Gungnir to either pull her blows, refrain from going for center mass or risk stabbing herself on his arms. He went for parries and quick swings to inflict scratches and tire her out in response. Of the three however it was Oil Spill that was the most slippery. The punches seemed to almost slide off her turning them into little more than glancing blows. More worrying was the fact that every time Emilia's fists made contact she could feel herself weakening just a little.

Jun both had more and less luck dealing with her opponents. Their inability to get a bead on her due to the lights caused them to fail to fight back properly and combined with their numbers -by now there were seven of them engaged in combat with her- led to them getting in each others way more often than not. Not one of them managed to land a decent hit by the time the Ghosthound took a stunning blow. The reverse was true as well however. With the weight of numbers pressing down on Mood Ring and their refusal to come at her one at a time it was difficult if not impossible to truly commit to a strike lest the opening led to her being taken down. 

Mai turned away from one of the screens she was watching. Letting go of the button on one mic and pressing down on the one that would let her talk to Team A she addressed Team A.

"Trailblazer. Several more parties inbound. Run interference to keep them off balance and prevent them from getting in the way of the rescue operation. Gungnir. Fight your way through, head for the door and rendezvous with Team C inside. Mood Ring. Delay as many of them as you can for as long as possible. Everyone. The mission is important but do not forget about your own safety. Dead heroes cannot save anyone."

Taking a drink from her water bottle Mai let go of the button once more and checked several more scenes. She most definitely preferred being on the field over being part of mission command. Shelving the thought for later she pushed the button on another mic and continued. Team A could need to deal with the next stretch by themselves but the job was far from over for any of them. 

---

TL;DR:
-Elijah's targets go down in a heap and are locked in a bundle of vines. Mai asks him to run interference on several more groups that are nearing Team A's location and the warehouse entrance.
-Emilia's shot temporarily stuns the Ghosthound. Upon engaging with the group of three she's requested by Mai to fight her way through them and rendezvous with Team C inside of the building.
-Junsuina's efforts to direct and delay the reinforcements pays off, leading to a temporary stalemate until she retreats. Seeing her actions Mai petitions her to hold off as many of them for as long as possible to ensure they don't intervene with the rest of the rescue operation.
-Mai orders all of them to stay safe arguing that dead heroes can't save anyone.

[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... Jun was being put on distraction duty. That was for the best, if she was being honest. In a war of attrition, especially in these circumstances, she was at a terrible disadvantage both in numbers and in terms of her quirk. The best thing she could do was set the bait on the hook. "Roger!" She ducked down an alley, flinging the spotlights at her opposition in one last bid to sow chaos among their ranks in order to get them to chase after her. "Alright, boys, come and get it!" It was not wise to taunt them, especially with so many and with the werewolf present, but if this mission was going to be successful then every second counted. Her only regret was that they got caught in the first place, and somehow someway it was her fault. But it was all going to work out in the end...right? Shirayuki Mai,junsuina,Emilia Hall,Elijah, tl;dr: -Jun taunts her enemies -Promptly runs away (like a bitch)

[Elijah]

For just a second, there may have been a slight twitch on the corner of Elijah's mouth as his dagger struck the grassy orb and rendered the assailants stuck. The moment was quick to pass as his face smoothed itself back to his usual serious expression. He still had a job to do.

Taking steps back to ensure the vines don't ensnare him too, he pressed into his communicator to respond to the overseer of their simulation. "Copy Yuki Onna." He'd been tasked with clean up duty. It's just as well, he botched the last hostage situation he was involved in. It was for the best that he not join the rescue portion of the assignment.

He then answered Mood Ring as he repositioned. "Sounds good. Will join you in a moment." Then to the last member of their group. "Lodestar, I'll provide an opening for you. Standby." Of the three she was fighting against, he figured the bat was the easiest target. Now to see if he was right with that assumption.

Elijah pointed his arm below centre mass, aiming for one of the legs of the winged guard. Locking in, he fired his grappling hook towards it, hoping to catch the man by his calf and pull him off his feet. Bonus points if the other two trip on him but that's best case scenario at this point.

OOC: Elijah replies to Yuki Onna's order and Jun's plan before telling Emilia he'll make an opening. He fires his grappling hook towards Batguy's leg in hopes of grabbing him and pulling him off-balance.

Success! Emi could hear the impact of her strike on Ghosthound from a distance and even if it didn't do much it was better than doing nothing. She wasn't sure what Jun or Hawthorne's assignments were but she would need to make her way through to the facility to meet up with another group. As to who? She wasn't too sure. All she knew was that Freja signed up for this exercise as well, and she was secretly hoping she was gonna be the one she'd met up with past the door. [break][break] "Roger!" She'd chime in and then charge the building, Elijah coming in for the assist just made her job easier. Less people meant that she could charge through without being slowed down! She'd cross her arms over her chest and charge, if the guards were smart they'd get out of the way but assuming they didn't she would charge through and send them flying. "I'm in! Thanks for the support Mood Ring and Trailblazer" and with that she'd push her way inside the facility ready to meet whatever challenge came next.[break][break]
