[Bakiri Retsu]

Hero society had diverted its resources to more bread and games but unfortunately for Retsu that didn't mean all her enemies had vanished. The Wildfire Warriors had been a pain for ages and one of the few groups that had caused her to actually lose ground in her struggle to claim Tokyo's underbelly. By themselves none of their members could take her on but annoyingly they knew that too and never put themselves into a situation where she could take them down one by one. Even worse was that whenever one part of their organization sighted her the rest used the opportunity to strike at other parts of her turf. Retsu had no intention to change her methods just because the Wildfire Warriors -or the quadruple U's as they were often called- had figured out the weak point. No, that'd never been her game. She'd simply bulldoze through the obstacle in her path, viability be damned.

Attacking their headquarters, an exclusive nightclub, was foolish at best and suicidal at worst. If she were alone, that was.

Mummy and Yinshe each evened the odds in their own way. The former was a right terror, damn near invincible and far more dangerous than she seemed. The latter was a guided missile aimed at one member of the Wildfire Warriors in particular. Cyberwolf. A quirker capable of integrating functional technology into his own form. With the recent addition of EMP grenades to their arsenal Olivia should be able to handle him or at the very least hold him off while the most devastating parts of his armory were unavailable. It wasn't an ideal set of circumstances but with hero response times being much higher due to the Sports Festival this was the only time she could take them down and it was crucial that she did. If they figured out she was out of the country during her upcoming trip to America who knows how much territory she'd lose. No, they had to go right now no matter how entrenched they were.



And entrenched they were, of that there was no doubt. Even from a street away Retsu could hear the booming music coming from their base. It appeared they present in full today, squad leaders and subordinates alike. Rui, Olivia and Retsu had one hell of a fight ahead of them.

"Y'all ready?" Retsu asked while cocking the slide of her assault rifle. Once they were in there wouldn't be much time to talk. Hells. Even now she had to raise her voice to be heard over the music, let alone once they were inside. "Ah'll be right behind y'all. Give 'em hell."

[attr="class","pinscroll"]Normally something like attacking a defended area head on would have Olivia scoff and potentially harm the person who suggested it, but Bakiriretsu proved to be a valuable asset. There were a lot of people in the criminal underworld of Japan that she could contact for equipment needs and yet none were as skilled as Retsu. It was a connection worth keeping as long as she didn't say or do anything that would endanger her life. If she did then there was zero shot Olivia would stick around. Originally when she heard the job she refused.[break][break]

That was until she heard who the other person she contacted was.[break][break]

Arsenal wasn't the type of person to embellish details about her life, she was a straight shooter in the literal and metaphoric sense. They met every so often for coffee to give updates on what was going on and in Olivia's case it was trading money (That Amber was owed) for information. She spoke in detail about 'The Mummy' and how she had never met someone she couldn't kill, with the mummy getting up repeatedly. Morbid curiosity got the best of Olivia so she agreed to Retsu's terms as long as Rui was the vanguard. It was really the ultimate human shield, and it just meant that Olivia could bail a lot easier if it came down to it. If Mummy can draw their attention, I'll head to where Cyberwolf is." With a few more pieces of equipment she had a much better chance against someone who relied on tech, after all most of her gear wouldn't be affected by her own E.M.P and this was definitely intentional.

The Wildfire Warriors was a problem that needed to be exterminated to Rui too. Groups that thought they could just own territories and do whatever they wanted was such a pain to her. Suddenly they were all about how she was trespassing on their turf, taking money from them or even harming their members, and so on. It was annoying, they were one layer removed from just being the cops or heroes or whatever. Organizations like The Spiders had learned to leave her alone by now, but The Wildfire Warriors clearly hadn't gotten the memo.

That's why she didn't hesitate for a second to team up with Retsu and Olivia. She was very familiar with the former, and this was far from their first rodeo. She couldn't say she knew the latter, but she was always about networking and making more besties, especially the kinds that fought violently. Those were always the most entertaining to watch in action. ''Draw their attention? You mean you want me in the middle of it all? That's my favorite place to be bestie! You read my mind.'' She smiled at Olivia, playing with the knife in her hand. ''Bomb Bestie, could I have a grenade? One that'll go off with a BANG!'' As a party girl she not only felt at home in the loud music, but knowing that they were about to crash this party and kill a bunch of people was so exhilarating she could hardly stop herself from charging right into the fray. Whether she was offered a grenade or not, once her besties were ready she charged ahead, going on a stabbing spree from one person to the next, stabbing random people until she drew the attention of the greater gang. ''Come play with me besties, show me what you're made of!'' She shouted, challenging anyone who dared to join her on the dance floor.

"Of course you can," Retsu replied to Rui perhaps a bit too quickly, a change that wasn't noticeable to outsiders but akin to a wrong note when one was familiar with their dynamic. Uncharacteristically keeping her mouth shut Retsu handed over one of her newer designs.

A thermobaric grenade.

Two seconds after the pin was pulled it would cause a small detonation that fired out an aerosol cloud of gas. Half a second later a following, larger explosion would detonate both the grenade and the combustible mixture spread throughout the air. It would destroy everything around it down to the air itself creating a vacuum effect mere moments after. Everything except for Rui herself of course. Retsu had no doubt it'd take more than that to keep the horned devil down.

Screams resounded within the club, at first mistaken for ambiance by all but the Wildfire Warriors themselves. Three of them were already headed to the source of the problem by the time Rui shouted her challenge.

"Mummy! Don't think you'll be able to get away with it this time!" The one at the front of the trio, a villain by the name of Flamemane, shouted with pistol drawn while approaching.



The three heading for Rui were far from the only blue-capped individuals keeping an eye on the situation. From the corner of the room Cyberwolf began to push his way through the crowd while scanning the surroundings for more signs of trouble. His path averted to the entrance upon spotting a second source of trouble.

"Well, looks like y'r up, Yinshe," Retsu laughed while aiming her assault rifle at the crowd. Without hesitation she opened fire while swinging the gun from left to right.

[attr="class","pinscroll"]Arsenal was not kidding when she described The Mummy. She'd seen some crazy people in her life, but this one was easily in the top spot. Maybe it was because of her quirk that made her functionally immortal but she was the antithesis of Olivia, willing to do anything and everything while disregarding her own safety. Why be safe when you don't get hurt? A few years ago, she would have been jealous. [break][break]

But the pain from losing her quirk had long since faded and sharpened itself into a knife. A knife that was positioned to take whatever she wanted.[break][break]

"I agree. No, she's troublesome, but for now, an ally. Yes we're technically even matched but the second things go poorly I'm out...I'm sure homework can wait." For any onlookers, it made Olivia seem crazy as she spoke into her gun, but with the chaos unfolding so quickly, there wasn't much time for anyone to comment on it. She could see her target, and he could see her...oh no.[break][break]

She would use her "pistol" to take a few shots at Cyberwolf from the distance while she strafed to the side. Someone with an 'all-powerful' quirk like that would surely be arrogant and she needed him to chase her to a secluded spot. Pushing through a side door into a large hallway she would head towards the back, hoping her prey took the bait.

[attr="class","pincreds"]coded by pie

[Rui Matsui]

''Really? Gimme gimme!'' She made grabby hands at Retsu, cherishing the bomb she was given before unraveling some of her skin around her stomach and putting it inside. ''Like a little snack.'' She grinned over at Olivia before bouncing up and down eagerly waiting for the others to get ready so they could crash the party.

Cackling away she stabbed another person before someone called out to her. Turning around to face Flamemane she shook her head firmly. ''Nuh uh I will!'' She protested, smiling as her eyes settled on Flamemane's gun. ''I hope for your sake that thing is loaded with something strong.'' Only three of them? She had hoped her little maneuver would cause a bigger uproar, but hopefully this was enough for her besties to get their job done. ''Let me show you my next dance move.'' She took a couple of slow steps forward before entering into a full sprint. ''It's called I stab you dead!!'' She exclaimed, dashing right into the trio of blue caps with no fear for their guns or what they were loaded with. Hell, most quirks weren't even that bad. Sure they hurt, but she hadn't ever been close to death before as far as she was aware. ''Don't worry, you'll see your friends soon when you die!'' She giggled, taking wild slashes at the trio as soon as she got within range. She wasn't trained or anything, but her movement was frantic and fast. ''Besties give me the signal when you want me to do the thing!'' They had never agreed on a signal, but it occurred to Rui that it would be totes cool if Retsu or Olivia shouted some kind of secret code phrase before she blew herself and anyone around her to hell. That, and she was having too much fun with her knife.

Retsu's eyes narrowed when she heard Olivia talk to her gun. It was possible the merc was just batshit insane, she'd seen enough of her kind, but there was a far more worrying possibility. If she had a quirk that could talk to objects none of Retsu's secrets were safe. That made her a potential liability. Sure, she implied she didn't have one but Retsu knew better than to trust people at face value. There wasn't any time to deal with it in full now but she'd definitely need to start taking precautions.

"Mah gun's a fookin' liar."

Gods knew what good that would do but if nothing else it'd at least add some confusion to make the truth harder to figure out. As her rifle 'talked' Retsu took a look at the unfolding scene. Cyberwolf had taken the bait. Like werewolves of lore the man's calm and brusk facade hid aggression issues even Retsu thought were extreme. He took those shots personally. With a snarl on his face he barreled through the crowd, pushing and shoving with enough force to knock people off their feet as he rushed towards Yingshe. Parts of his skin lit up as the machinery beneath whirred. Bladed spikes not unlike caltrops burst out of his clenched fingers right before the whole fist went flying towards her, connected to his wrist by a thick electrified chain all the while.

 Near the center of the dance floor too battle had been joined in full. Fully aware of Mummy's quirk Flamemane hadn't even bothered to fire her gun. What she hadn't been aware of was just how fast Rui was. With a cry of pain as the knife carved a furrow into her Flamemane threw the gun straight at Rui's face while swearing loudly and shouting at her companions to stop their panicky shooting lest they hit someone else.

A rainbow flash right in front of Retsu followed by the front of her rifle falling off signaled the end of her viewing session.

"Go crash someone else's birthday party you scum-sucking maggot!" A new voice cried out while swinging the handle they were using to extend their quirk, a multicolored flash in the air.

"If it ain't Rainbow Riot," Retsu sneered. "Aquaman couldn't fookin' make it?"

"You'll get to meet him when we're done with you!"



Drawing Temper and getting ready to show him just how wrong he was her eye briefly flicked to Rui when she shouted at them. A signal? What kind of fookin' signal? Wait a second, didn't she accept the grenade just like when they were fighting those two pros?

"Shower drain!" Retsu shouted when Rui was in their midst. With some luck it'd come across.

[attr="class","pinscroll"]God damn was this guy persistent. She had expected a response but not to the degree of harming his own 'people' usually these chumps who teamed up or had a headquarters did it because they had a sense of loyalty to each other. They were a bunch of morons, if you ask Olivia.[break][break]

Olivia would narrowly avoided the strike instead letting it smash through the door she had barely opened. To an onlooker, it may have seemed like she was in over her head, but the situation's reality was much much different. She would use the area to her advantage, climbing up high towards the ceiling. Once Cyberwolf entered the room, she would arm the E.M.P. and then make a feint towards him for above; the E.M.P. needed time to charge, so the feint would, of course, fail, and Olivia was a sitting duck. She would scramble back, feigning panic before reaching the room's farthest point.[break][break]

"Gotcha." With a click, the E.M.P would go off, cutting the power to this and the surrounding rooms. "Just you and me now."

[attr="class","pincreds"]coded by pie

[Rui Matsui]

''I like you!'' She hugged Flamemane after having stabbed her, letting the gun hit her across the face like it was nothing. ''Let's be besties!'' She proclaimed happily, before sulking. ''Wait, but I have to kill you that won't do..'' She sighed, what a shame. Killing was fun, but tormenting people was sometimes even more fun just because she got to see their reactions. ''You bleed like the rest of them, I appreciate that in a bestie.'' She looked at the blood that trickled from her wound with a wild curiosity. ''Hey bestie. ~ Won't you introduce me to your friends?'' She had the knife pressed against Flamemane while she looked towards her companions, those she had ordered to stop panic shooting.

Hopefully she could persuade her hostage to take her a little closer to her friends, but whether it worked or not once Rui heard the made up signal from Retsu she smiled widely. ''Shower drain, that's it. ~'' She said in a sing-songy tone, letting part of her skin unwrap so she could roll the grenade into her hand. ''It's lights out for you and me.'' She smiled proudly, putting the grenade up to her own mouth. ''Have you ever died with anyone before, bestie?'' Her voice was a low whisper as she hooked her teeth on the pin. ''It's pretty romantic.'' With a gentle yank she pulled the pin, setting off the thermobaric grenade taking herself and as many Wildfire losers with her as she could.

Would her quirk be strong enough to survive another explosion? That was part of the thrill when she made herself the center of attention.

[Bakiri Retsu]

Cyberwolf's torso swelled as he walked towards Yingshe, his right shoulder going through the door before his left out of necessity. There was no way he'd fit otherwise. A blue glow thumped rhythmically beneath his shirt, each beat sending a colorful blue liquid through his veins to power the activating armory within his form.

Not even bothering to respond to her feint his cheeks spread wide as he loomed over her with a smile that showed teeth. Teeth that were far pointier and more metallic than they had any right to be. With a whir they began to grind like a chainsaw while he stepped closer and closer, one thick arm extended to grab and feed her into the wood chipper.

That was when the E.M.P. went off.

The blue glow immediately died down and his teeth stopped grinding. With a grunt he fell to a knee, eyes wide and mouth twisted into a snarl. The more advanced parts of his collection being rendered unusable reduced the titan to a mere man yet it had far from taken him out of the fight. He still had metal for bones, machinery beneath his skin to blunt strikes and enough strength to tear through iron with his bare hands. Yet with his cybernetic eyes shorted out and the improvised internal exosuit grafted into him no longer assisting his movements he was slow and blind, easy pickings so long as Olivia didn't let herself get caught.

Cyberwolf was far from the only one having a bad time. Back on the dance floor Flamemane was having the emotional roller coaster of a lifetime. A misunderstood confession, an offer of friendship, a confirmation of their imminent demise and then a ray of hope. Not more than a single step later it was replaced by confusion and a horrified widening of her eyes. Her head shook side to side right as the explosion went off, one of her two allies turning into mist and vanishing and the other one turning into 'mist' and 'vanishing'.

As both E.M.P. and thermobaric destruction reigned at the same time it was lights out throughout the building in a variety of ways. Something that gave Rainbow Riot a distinct disadvantage in his own fight as he was now the brightest source of light in the room. A veritable neon sign in a firing range. He wasn't for long

As if a rift to hell had opened the scent of ozone spread throughout the air before blue flames spread across the far end of the club like Wildfire with a sharp crack, like reality itself had been torn. From within the flames six figures materialized, the frontmost three seated with the other three theatrically standing behind them.



"Aww, y'all got this party started without us? Makes sense. The stars always arrive last. Fun's over, prepare to get wrecked!"

[attr="class","pinscroll"]It was looking like Cyberwolf relied too heavily on his modification as when the E.M.P went off his entire body slumped. Olivia's eyes narrowed as she observed his movements to make sure there weren't any more tricks; this was her first time using the E.M.P Retsu had developed on a target. Satisfied she would silently draw her pistol and fire a few rounds into Cyberwolf. [break][break]

These were not normal rounds, they were corrosive. After her confrontation with Godfall she had commissioned a specialty hand gun that fired 'airsoft' rounds that produced a corrosive chemical to burrow through defenses. The bullets would do the trick quickly melting through his armor. Once she felt that he was sufficiently injured she would go for the kill lopping off his head with her Armor-Piercer. It was all a bit too easy and she felt-[break][break]

"It's never simple is it." She would speak to her other gun as she would make her way back to the main floor.

In the wake of the thermobaric bomb Rui was clapping and laughing to herself, rolling around on the floor once the dust settled. ''That was so fun! Way more powerful than the last one.'' She sat up with a big grin and scanned her surroundings as if she was looking for something, or someone. ''There we go.'' She unwrapped the skin around her arms and began transferring her healing properties into the remains of Flamemane, restoring her body to how she was moments before the bomb went off. ''Wakey, wakey!'' Rui slapped her face causing her to wake with a start.

''U-Um...'' Flamemane's face was squished by Rui's hands. ''So what did you think? Totes crazy wasn't it?!'' The look in Flamemane's eyes said it all, that hollow, scared look like she had seen something in the realm between the living and the dead that she wasn't supposed to. Rui vaguely remembered that was how she felt after her first death too. Extending a hand to help her sit up Rui confidently posed with her hands on her hips as she declared her intentions. ''You work for me now!''

''I... I do?'' Flamemane asked a little bewildered. ''Yup!'' Rui took her cap and tried, but failed to put it on her own head so instead she hung it on one of her horns by the strap. ''Aren't you happy now that you are working for me and you don't have to die?'' Rui was so proud that she had thought of this solution herself. She had always wanted a minion too. ''Yeah.'' She swallowed, still shaken from being revived. ''Then why aren't you smiling?'' Rui blinked her eyes, staring at Flamemane expectantly. ''Smiling?'' She looked at their surroundings and how wrecked they were. Not to mention the gang itself. The people Rui had allied herself with seemed to be dealing a sizable blow to Wildfire. ''Yeah you know like...'' Rui faked an exaggerated smile and laughed at herself before punching Flamemane in the shoulder. ''Okay now your turn!'' Her new bestie complied, forcing an awkward smile.

''I'm Rui Matsui! And you are?''

''Uh, Flamemane?''

''Flamey!''

''S-Sure..''

''You're Flamey now! Amy for short!''

''..Whatever you say boss.''

''Let's go kill all your former friends, Amy!''

Olivia Liang, Bakiri Retsu

[Bakiri Retsu]

Flashes rung out when Temper met quirk, Retsu's hunch being proven correct and her fiery blade managing to parry the energy construct created by Rainbow Riot. It was a melee that was as brief as it was flashy and ended not unlike Yingshe's battle against Cyberwolf. For a moment Retsu was glad for the scent of ozone in the air. She didn't think she'd be able to eat bacon for a while otherwise. 

"Oh no, they got Flamemane and her group. Now the gang's down to 99% power!" One of the new arrivals laughed uproariously. "Dibs on her base in Adachi." Another called out, completely ignoring the fact that Flamemane was back on her feet. Slapping his knee a third pointed towards the crowd. "Darn, Fleamane, you even let a stray dog in."

The misty wisps that escaped Rui's detonation had condensed into the shape of a person once more leaving behind the blue cap and cape she'd been wearing over her custom outfit.



"Aww man, it took me like weeks to get this far in. Just a few more and I might've made it to their leadership. All that effort for nothing. Oh well. You're all under arrest," Willful Wisp stated confidently while twirling a pair of handcuffs. For all her bluster about making arrests however her focus seemed more on staying in between the villains and the fleeing civilians rushing for the exit of the night club. The Pro Hero was a threat but not an immediate one. Unlike the group of six that were now taking note of Olivia as well.

"Hey, ain't she a lot too whole for that prick's usual victims?" The red skinned man at the front asked rhethorically with a nod in her direction. "Rainbow Riot, Cyberwolf and I guess Flamemane's posse too. We'll have to get a bit serious," The woman at the front added with a seriousness that did not match the carefree smile on her face. "Get them."

Like an arrow loosed four of the six shot towards Olivia and Rui respectively. The two furthest at the back had headed for Rui and Flamemane, putting their money where their mouth was as they sought to finalize the transfer of Flamemane's assets. The man with baseball cap and glasses gained a metallic gleam as his transformation took hold while the one with sunglasses shook the floor beneath him as he grew with every step he took.

The pair heading for Olivia had been the ones flanking their leader, the red-skinned man now glowing brightly and leaving a trail of fire in his wake while the white-haired one formed a halberd out of ice and rushed into the fray.

That left the teleporter and the leader, the latter of which was locked in a staring contest with Bakuretsu. Retsu smirked, staying uncharacteristically calm and away from the fray. Yingshe's contract was technically done and the last thing she wanted was to get flanked if the mercenary decided to try and leave here and now. No, she'd see how the tides were turning before she struck. Her hand reached for another of her newer grenades. She'd prepared for this. When she did she'd strike hard, strike fast and strike once. Retsu knew their abilities and styles. It would be enough.

[attr="class","pinscroll"]With her part of the deal taken care of Olivia was fully prepared to leave until...well that was new. A Pro Hero making an appearance during all of this as their cover was blown was surprising. Back in the states they usually didn't break cover under any circumstances, but perhaps in Japan this was just the way the heroes viewed themselves - important. As important as shit on the street was Olivia's thoughts as she rolled her eyes.[break][break]

Unfortunately, her attempt to fade out was quickly thwarted as she narrowly dodged the incoming arrows. Figures they wouldn't let her leave after she killed one of their own even if it was absolutely idiotic to have that much faith in your allies. Bigger numbers never meant having the advantage; all it took was for one to fall for the rest to follow. [break][break]

"Yes I know you have homework. Okay then do your job, I'll do mine and we'll get out of here." She would use her new shoes to give herself some distance, running back and then up the wall and aiming a few shots at the fire guy. They seemed like
the more troublesome of the duo, and Olivia was definitely not fireproof.

She looked at the new arrivals before realizing her knife had probably been vaporized in the explosion. ''Why are there so many of them? Is it because they're weak and they all need to stick together to fight people that are strong?'' She looked up at Flamemane. ''You're not weak, are you bestie? I'll kill you again if you're not entertaining.''

Flamemane cleared her throat and tied her hair back. ''I just needed the money.'' She said, her voice a little shaky, but judging from Rui's smile she had given a satisfying answer. Raising her voice, Rui shouted to Olivia and Retsu, wherever they may be. ''We're about to have fun and kill some more people, if you don't wanna miss out you should come over here!'' She could barely stand still, giddy at the thought of getting to commit more violence. ''Bestie Amy! Your first job is to find me a weapon!'' She pointed at her taller bestie demandingly. ''Mummy- Rui-sama... Surely we should use this chaos to try and run away? By all accounts you've already won.'' Rui stomped her foot and shook her head. ''No! We're killing more, don't be a coward!''

''I-I'm not, I'm just saying!-'' Her eyes widened seeing the Pro Hero. She had a feeling that if they stayed here they might not make it out alive. Didn't matter how strong Rui's healing was. ''Nuh uh!'' Rui responded to Willful Wisp saying they were under arrest. ''Not me, but you can arrest her!'' She pointed at Flamemane. ''Rui-sama!'' She exclaimed, to which Rui clapped her hands together. ''Come on! It would be funny! I'll break you out after!'' Although the two were bickering, Flamemane quickly looked up as she saw the arrows coming way before Rui did.

''Look out!'' She pushed Rui back and held her fist up to the palm of her hand. ''Stage 5, UNDEFINED!'' She called out and within seconds a giant tortoise appeared out of a smoke cloud. The beast's shell easily repelled the arrows as it let out a low grumble. ''Turtle!'' Rui exclaimed happily jumping to her feet. ''That's your quirk?! Does he have a name?'' She immediately ran up to pet its leg. ''Johnson.'' Flamemane said, wiping sweat from her brow. ''Can we make this quick, Rui-sama? I can't keep him on stage 5 for long.'' She smiled apologetically. ''You got it bestie!'' She grinned widely, unwrapping her bandages to use like a lasso to get ahold of a gun that hadn't been blown up in the thermobaric explosion. ''I want the big one!'' She stuck the gun in her mouth and charged to meet him in the middle. ''Understood. Johnson!'' Flamemane moved her arms again, keeping one fist close to her side while her palm pointed up. ''To the skies!'' Her tortoise blinked his eyes slowly before suddenly leaping into the air with an unexpected level of athleticism. In all her time with Wildfire she hadn't revealed this supermove to any of the other members. Heck, unless they had looked into her background they probably didn't even know about stage 5 either. The giant tortoise turned meteor as it soared through the air, headed directly for the metallic guy as it tried to body slam him.

''Hhhr bnnf mmm ur debf!'' Rui shouted at the giant guy, gun still in her mouth, unwrapping her bandages to use her parkour skills to begin climbing him, hoping to get up to his head before she needed to pull the trigger.
