[Wendy]

1IN YOUR EYES How? Now, that was a good question. Wendy wasn't even sure what her quirk capabilities were. This was the first "test" she'd ever done that didn't involve sitting in a lab answering questions and hooked up to machines. Even without her input, her body regulated itself, returning to a normalized form, except she was about 2.5x her standard size. She hadn't shed the extra mass, and it resulted in her being reshaped to her human form at a great height, unintentionally mocking Surtr in the process. "I don't know, uhm..." she bent down to speak to Bugger. "I'm sorry I didn't get your name? That was rude of me." As always she was a little slow on the uptake. Perhaps turning your back on the enemy wasn't smart, but in this case, it worked for Wendy as she could hear his approach. Still unaware of how much larger she had gotten she turned around to see Khepri on their way and the giant fist coming down after them. She'd look around and throw out the question "Where??" As everything she could potentially duck behind was a lot smaller than she remembered, odd. Still, she didn't want to let Khepri or Bugger down, and even if it wasn't something she had planned to do, her body responded, the mass shifting from her entire body to one arm, which we now massively oversized "I'm sorry, but I can't let you hurt my friends!" In her eyes, Bugger was just as much of a friend to her now as Khepri, Yoko, Michael, and Luna were. So she swung as hard as she could, which wasn't much compared to the much larger Surtr, but hopefully, it would be enough to protect the three of them. Even if her arm was destroyed in the process, as long as she could gather up the clay and repair it, it would just take some time. tl;dr Wendy shifts the mass gained from the water to make her a little over double in size. She shifts it further to put it all into her arm and then uses the oversized arm to swing at Surtr's own punch. Ouch. SEE THE BLUE SKY Mafdet Khepri,Jack Orion,Fanthes

✧ BOSS BATTLE ✧

Bugger would have been scared out of his mind had the tall figure that bent down to talk to him been anyone but the polite and quiet Wendy. ''I-I'm Bugger! But never mind that!'' Things were starting to get scary. If only he had manifested a combat quirk and could be there alongside the brave students trading blows with the growing giant.

EYESORES!!!

All these little students crawling and flying around him like insects, spouting their stupid nonsense and trying to insult him back. HOW DARE THEY!! Surtr had enough and his ultimate wasn't just an indicator of that, but he was nearing his limit. At this rate, if he didn't pull off his ultimate he wasn't sure if he could carry out his mission. As Surtr dove down to bring death and destruction with his fists, he remembered what happened.

''Who am I?'' A voice had echoed in his mind, alone in the darkness.

''Watanabe Abe, also known as the vigilante Surtr. Renowned for his fighting ability and the fact that he never injured a civilian.'' A voice that wasn't his own replied. It was eerily familiar, like hearing it gave him a bad case of deja vu and filled him with dread.

''I-I know that voice, you're Psychonaut!-''

''Quirk type: Transformation. One of the Ragnarockers, another useful idiot! How could I best make someone like you suffer?'' Psychonaut continued as if he was talking to someone else and couldn't hear Surtr. That was when the vigilante truly realized he was trapped. Like a patient on an operating table he had no say in what was happening, he was merely overhearing it.

''Why can't I move my arms? Who is controlling my body?!''

''How does this sound? Surtr will kill the people that inhabit the island he is currently on! He will secure a boat for his companions and they will set sail for Tokyo. Surtr is going to drown himself and grow to the size of 300 feet before reemerging in Tokyo Bay. He will kill thousands of people, clearing the way for the other Ragnarockers, before succumbing to his injuries.'' Psychonaut cackled to himself. ''I wonder... How will you look when I tear every little piece of humanity from your soul? You thought you could play one of the good guys, but I'll make sure you take thousands of innocent lives with you! You'll be remembered as a villain, the worst kind...''

''STOP! LET ME OUT! I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THIS SHIT!!''

Snapping back to reality Surtr stared blankly at the students that were putting together a combined attack to try and slow him. Rather than being full of murderous intent, for a brief moment, Surtr felt empty, and then a sense of relief.

Thank goodness these UA students were so reliant.

Thank goodness they were willing to put up a fight.

What a shame he couldn't stop his ultimate move.

As Jack soared upwards to meet Surtr, a giant fist of clay flew right past him, supporting his brave act of defiance. The powers of Jack and Wendy were combined, and moments later Surtr slammed into them with an explosive impact, several trees bending or getting uprooted from the pressure and shockwave it created as Surtr's ultimate triggered in midair instead of on the ground. What this meant for the island was that it wouldn't take as much damage. However, Wendy and Jack weren't so lucky. Like a piece of cotton to a flame, Wendy's clay arm, while it offered a great deal of resistance and blowback against Surtr, it practically evaporated in an instant burning and slinging the expended clay back onto the ground. Luckily for her, she remained outside of the worst of the blast radius. Similarly, as much as Bugger protested Khepri trying to save him, thanks to them he had survived what would have been certain death just now. He watched in horror as the imagery of the giant coming down on the island burned into his memory, then he reached for his backpack.

Jack Orion was not so lucky. Enduring more of the ultimate attack than anyone else, despite firing back with his own chaos energy, it did little in the way of protecting him. He dealt great damage back to the vigilante sure, but it came at a high price. Jack would find himself getting slammed back down onto the ground alongside with Surtr moments later, kicking up a giant cloud of dust that consumed the both of them. The injuries Jack sustained in the aftermath were so severe he couldn't throw another punch. Hell, he would be lucky if he could even move a muscle.

''We need to help them! W-Wendy are you okay?!'' Bugger hurried forward, looking at the tall lady in horror as one of her arms had been blown clean off her body. However, he didn't linger as long as she didn't look like she was in a lot of pain. Getting closer to Jack, he immediately started cranking his backpack and cooking up some more healing pies for everyone. ''Gather around! I'll save you all!'' Bugger exclaimed, putting a careful hand on Jack's forehead. ''I got you big man! Stay with us!''

As the dust began to settle Surtr let out a groan. ''IYAAH!'' Bugger cried, jumping backwards when Surtr not only poked out of the dust cloud that was clearing, but grew from 40 feet to 80 feet, increasing his mass once more. Breathing heavy the vigilante looked down at the students and the sidekick. ''You... Shitheads...'' There was something different about his eyes. It was subtle, but they weren't as murdery as they had been previously. ''Thank you and... I'm sorry.'' He cracked his neck, before decreasing dramatically in size, turning back into his human form as he shrunk back to a respectable 5 feet tall. ''Hey, bug, lemme help out.'' Surtr, the delinquent with a scarred up body walked over and took one of the pies, offering it to any of the students that needed healing. ''You stopped me. If it weren't for you bastards I would've probably been way worse off.'' He rubbed the back of his neck. ''Take it. And arrest me afterwards too.''

''Eh?'' Bugger blinked his eyes.

''You heard me!'' He pointed at the small sidekick. ''Arrest me! You think I don't deserve to suffer for this fuck up?!'' The fog had finally lifted from his mind, and it was dawning on Surtr what he had done, or rather been made to do, but that didn't suddenly make him innocent.

With the battle having reached its climax, the trio would be left with a choice.

Does Surtr get to live or die?

The Void

TL;DR:
- Surtr, like all the other Ragnarockers were made to fight against his will by someone named Psychonaut
- Surtr realizes his mistake but can't stop his ultimate attack, Wendy loses an arm, Khepri is safe and rescues Bugger, while Jack suffers massive damage from the ultimate impact
- In the aftermath Bugger uses his quirk to try and heal everyone, Surtr turns back into a normal-sized human and offers to help, his mind now clear of whatever was controlling him
- The trio is given the choice to kill or spare Surtr

[Mafdet Khepri]

Khepri felt cold. Once again they’d been too late. Silent tears ran down their cheeks. Once again their companions had suffered for it. They more saw than felt themself moving towards the crash site. Was Jack Orion dead as well? Had their failure cost another life? Even before they managed to see through the dust cloud they could envision his still form. All that energy, the courage to stand up, the speed to be the first onto the fray, and for what? Just like last time. Just like with Rui. She’d been first too. First into the fray. First to die.

The memories were clear now, almost seeming to be overlaid with the scene going on. Khepri was in two places at once, separated by time and space but united in their perception. As they walked closer and closer to the scene of disaster they could almost feel a weight in their arms swaying along with their steps. Had they eaten anything today it would have left their stomach along with the spittle they were retching up, one hand coming up to cover their mouth without them even realizing it.

They heard almost as little as they saw when they reached the dust cloud. Their ears were haunted by an incessant ringing that morphed the sounds that reached them, like the fun house mirror equivalent of hearing it increased their pitch and decreased their clarity.

There was this… void, inside of them. A hollowness that seemed to suck in sensations before Khepri could ingrain them in their memory, the sensory feedback registering but not being recorded. Just like back then. Just like those four days that were now a haze.

They hadn't even had the presence of mind to check on Wendy. She'd lost an arm. Lost it to protect them, even. Khepri still hadn't checked. It could be rationalized that they'd seen her take worse injuries without a problem or that the worst possible issues had to be dealt with first but such thoughts didn't even penetrate through to their clouded mind. The truth was that Khepri was not quite operating on conscious thought right now. A massive figure rose from the cloud and then shrunk once more. Both phenomena were addressed in the same way one would an unexpected breeze, registered but put out of mind instantly. Fear, instinct and a phantom of the past moved their feet. One step in front of the other. It carried them all the way to Jack. His figure so still except… his chest rose and fell?

Like a bubble popping their hearing was back and their eyelids blinked the tears out of their eyes by themselves. He wasn't dead? He wasn't dead. It hadn't happened again.

Khepri's mind tuned out the rest. When asked later they'd respond that they vaguely remembered tying the shimenawa around Surtr so he couldn't do any more harm.

Everything else? Just one more day that was lost in the depths of their memories

TL;DR:
-Khepri ties the shimenawa around Surtr to capture him.

[Wendy]

1IN YOUR EYES Wendy couldn't see what was going on anymore. The impact of Surtr punching through her arm sent clay all over the area. From her perspective it was like a bomb went off, raining the clay over the battlefield. For anyone but Wendy this would have been a grievous injury that ultimately would result in death from blood loss. Luckily Wendy was quite literally built different. Once the dust settled Wendy would try her best to figure out what to do next. What did her classes say? Check on civilians? But...there were no civilians except...was Bugger a civilian? She'd have to ask, "Oh, hi." she turned to Bugger, looking down as he frantically pointed at her missing arm. "I'm okay! I think...you should go help the others? Like the one on the ground, if you can heal him, that would be great!" she used her stump to point in that direction before she noticed Khepri standing there. "Khepri? Hello Khepri? What do we do now?" she would approach and poke Khepri in the back with her good arm. She would bow and thank Surtr. "I'm okay, but thank you." she then paused for a few seconds as it slowly dawned on her "...Are you okay?" How rude of her not to ask. Even if he was trying to kill them moments prior it was still important to ask. Aside from that she would follow the lead of the most experienced students with her. tl;dr Wendy is stupid and doesn't understand trauma or this situation AT ALL. gl all SEE THE BLUE SKY Mafdet Khepri,Jack Orion,

If there was one thing Jack would know that he was probably known for, especially at this point, it was that he knew how to get things done.

Just with the minor caveat that it also usually resulted in him grievously injuring himself. Hey, gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet sometimes, right?

As Jack rocketed towards Surtr with as much Chaos Energy as he could muster, he could see Wendy's gigantic clay hand shooting past him for a moment, the dragon boy having a look of surprise. Honestly, considering she'd been playing more defense - which he of course understood - the sudden attack was a welcome surprise. He didn't know how much it really did in the grand scheme of things - from his point of view, everything was going so fast that it almost seemed to do nothing, but he honestly didn't have time to process it before launching his own attack immediately afterwards.

Firing his attack at point-blank range like he did, it felt like Jack was holding back a tsunami. The sheer amount of power that Surtr had was more than respectable - it took everything Jack had to hold him back, even for a moment. Unfortunately, that was all that he could really muster at the end of the day.

Surtr would inevitably crash into Jack, causing the two to shoot towards the ground. In a display of dust and Chaos Energy, it made their impact kind of look like that weird kind of fairy dust you would see in the movies. Just that instead of any sort of healing properties, the only thing this dust signaled as pain. A whole world of hurt.

For a moment, Jack blacked out. He wasn't unconscious, but the pain he was feeling at the moment seemed to override all of his senses at once. All he could hear as a ringing in his ears, the sensation of a thousand knives penetrating his body all he could feel. If he could scream at the moment, he probably would've.

However, instead of something coming out of his mouth, he could feel something going in, rather. A sweet, buttery and flaky sensation would hit his tastebuds, making some of the pain start to subside. His eyes opened briefly, seeing Bugger kneeling over him as he fed him. Chewing and swallowing, a shaky breath would be followed but a pained, weak chuckle. "Y'know...usually people don't call me 'big man' like that." he replied, groaning a little bit as he started to sit up as much as he reasonably could in that moment.

"Is...is everyone okay?" he called, his eyes still opening up and taking in the situation. Eyes locked on to the battered, but still alive, Surtr. Seemed like the brute finally came out of whatever the hell he was on. "Well...welcome back to the world of the semi-sane, at least. Glad to see you're not entirely bonkers there," he replied, that smirk of his still there, despite it all.

That was about as much as they were going to get out of Jack, though, before he would promptly collapse onto his back again, heaving a very heavy sigh of relief. Everything still hurt like hell, but at least the job was done. That was all he could really ask for, at the end of the day.

That was the last thought Jack had before promptly passing out, his light breathing and smile on his face at least showing that he'll be fine, at least for now.
