[Bakiri Retsu]

Burn it all down

"Ya sure it’s here?" Retsu asked Rui, more to fill the silence than to get an actual answer. She could only ignore the evidence provided by her own eye for so long. It was subtle in a way, clearly hidden away on purpose, but signs of human passage still remained in the area. Nothing about the terrain they were traversing right now was formed by nature. Well, nothing except the canopy obscuring it from above. Even so Retsu harbored strong suspicions that Koi had a hand in twisting that too to suit their purposes. Her jaw clenched. Yeah. That sounded like something they’d do.

What kinds of fuckery Koi got up to wasn’t exactly something Retsu knew -hells, finding out was part of the reason she was here today- but if Rui and her own suspicions were anything to go by it likely had to do with quirks. That made anyone that had one a potential liability. It was for this exact reason she’d chosen to hire Yingshe to accompany them today. While she wasn’t entirely certain the green haired woman didn’t have a quirk she at the very least didn’t seem reliant on it. That would have to suffice.

Finally an entrance came into view, one set into the side of a mountain. Retsu sneered. She’d be bringing the whole thing down on their heads before long.

"Yingshe. Mummy. Take point ‘nd fook up anything that gets in our way."

[Rui Matsui]

Rui had been through a lot today already, but she wasn't about to miss out on the big island adventure with treasure and violence. She was wearing a gray shirt that was two sizes too big for her and blue overalls stained in someone else's blood, no socks or shoes because they were usually redundant when your quirk always healed you. She was holding her knife in one hand as she looked ahead to where Retsu was indicating. ''Yeah this is it.'' She confirmed casually, looking back at Olivia and Retsu. ''They used to take me through here all the time when I was little.'' She climbed onto a tree stump simply because she felt like it, and it helped bring her closer to eye level to her besties. ''They like to collect people with strong powers when they're children. Me and a bunch of others.'' With a little hop she landed back down on the path. For being Rui, she was surprisingly mellow at the moment.

A lot was going through her mind. Past memories flooding to the forefront as she remembered all the nice people at Koi that had tried to help her, and how most of them died in return. She didn't know why but the Koi people were scared of her. Had been ever since they first brought her in. ''You got it, bestie.'' She walked with her shoulders a little slouched, like she was too lazy to fix her posture. Walking up to the entrance she banged her hand on the metal. ''Yeah hello? I'm here to see Junoichi. He called for me, said he wanted to see me just ask him.'' If anyone happened to open for them or answer the door she would immediately strike to kill without hesitation.

[attr="class","pinscroll"]The motivation for Olivia to be here was shockingly not because of a potential loot haul - it was personal. Initially when she was pitched the idea of going back the Islands she vehemently refused citing her encounter with Hati as the main reason it was not worth. This changed instantly when it was revealed that this was because of a facility that stole/researched quirks in the past.[break][break]

Just like that it became personal.[break][break]

Rui's revelation that she was just a kid when all of this happened to her put Olivia at Retsu levels of anger. She would move past the two and, with a strong strike from her sword, would cut through the entrance and then kick it open. Armed to the teeth, she would enter the facility. "Leave one alive, it doesn't matter which one."

Burn it all down

Retsu let out a hum that was half skeptical and half irate. Strong powers ey? Rui certainly counted for that. Guess she herself didn’t. She was going to enjoy setting this place on fire when they were done with it.

Her eyebrow went up when she saw Rui’s suddenly slouched posture. Was she attempting to act natural? That brought a scowl to her face. This was what Rui was like when she was with Koi, huh? Her hand twitched towards Temper’s ignition. She felt almost grateful when Olivia cut open the door saving her the hassle. The element of surprise wasn’t worth nearly as useful as just maintaining momentum and blazing through the facility.

"More den one. Bring anyone that looks important ta me. Ah brought sealin’ foam grenades ta lock the fookers down ‘til we need em."

Stepping through the destroyed door and past the screaming employee that Rui was going to town on Retsu reached a door to a guard post just as someone stuck his head out to see what the commotion was about. Socking him in the face she made him fall back inside, tossed a grenade in after him and closed the door again. They didn’t have time to waste on doormen.

The faint scent of antiseptic hanging in the air reminded her of those few times one gang or the other had taken her to some back alley doctor after a job gone wrong, albeit the clean surroundings and hard angles were a far cry from the squalid mess she’d had to deal with. The width and height of the corridors surprised her. She supposed it was easier with quirks but hewing that much rock out of the mountainside without tipping anyone off implied a breadth of resources that made her bristle. Five sets of footsteps in the distance tipped her off to the fact that their response team was rather fast too, their training clearly impressive. Anger roiled beneath the surface at that thought. The investment here was huge. The kind that implied backing that made what the Akimichi had possessed look like playground shenanigans.

“Rui, call out anyone ya recognize. Yingshe, kill the rest.”

''You're really not scared for a bleeder.'' Rui giggled with amusement as Olivia just cut her way through the door and marched on ahead. Most of the time when Rui got hired to help other criminals or villains it was so she could be a bullet sponge, soak up damage from the enemies while the bleeders hid behind her like little cowards. Not Olivia though, nor Retsu. It was something she really liked about both of them. They weren't just reckless, they were fun. Violence was a special thing, and how people enacted it on other was deeply personal and all the more fascinating for it.

''Anyone important?'' She looked at Retsu, then looked around as they stepped in. ''I guess anyone that looks smart or something. Ask who's in charge we just capture them.'' She fidgeted with her knife as she walked, letting the other two go to town while she just took it all in. Memories from her childhood were flooding back, but they were all so distant and vague. ''No way!'' She exclaimed, running up to a blank, white room that stood unlocked. The room was completely devoid of decor, safe for one full body window that linked it up with another room. ''They used to put me in here all the time!'' She said it like she was musing about getting to go on the rollercoaster as a kid. ''This is where I met the other kids. I sat right here.'' She sat down, just like in the old days. ''Then I tapped on the glass and there was this boy- in there.'' She pointed to the other room. ''He just sat there.'' She slowly stopped her tapping, excitement draining from her body. ''He never said anything...'' After a brief moment she jumped back up to her feet and smiled widely. ''We had the best conversations! Did you know he was my first bestie?''

''Project Eir!'' One of the guards called out as footsteps and armed men started approaching their position. ''She's accompanied by two other villains, get a stunner for Rui Matsui now, it's a priority 10!'' Rui still wasn't phased by any of what was going on, as all she could think about was when she would start killing more people, and what Retsu had said earlier. She was kind of like, the brains of this operation since she knew the place, so she was supposed to call out anyone important. Nodding towards the response team as they took their position, Rui pointed one of them out to Retsu. ''Bones.'' She said, referring to a face that would look very familiar to Retsu specifically. ''It's Araki.'' The young man corrected Rui while keeping a handgun pointed at the trio.

''Yeah, but like, you're bones, right? I'm simple, not stupid, I know how your type of quirk works.''

''You're... Bakuretsu?'' He said, perplexed as he pointed the gun at Retsu.

''Did you think your makeup is fooling us? Hey Violence Bestie.'' She looked over at Yingshe, before pointing back to Araki. ''That guy's pretty tough, he won't die so you can go all-out killing the rest of 'em.'' Besides, if they accidentally went too far she could just bring him back. ''Project Eir, you will cease this attack, right this instant!'' Araki shouted, pointing his gun at Olivia this time.

''No. Is Junoichi home?''

''He's not.. wait- I don't have to tell you anything!'' Signaling their attack, Araki took the first shot, firing a couple of bullets at Yingshe, but before they could connect Rui got in the way, soaking up the damage with a big grin.

[attr="class","pinscroll"]Normally someone barking orders at Olivia would have resulted in a minimum some snark, but this place made her put that aside. She didn't care for the details, nor did she particularly like Rui, as she had attempted to kill Arsenal in the past, but Olivia was cautious, not reckless. "Some of us don't have lives to spare but we prepared the best we can to make sure we get what we want." Rui overall made her uncomfortable as her very existence made her feel conflicted as Rui surely resembled a child but one with a death wish. It was just easier to avoid her.[break][break]

"Blah Blah Blah." Olivia would raise her gun as the man raised his and when the fighting broke out she'd take a few pot shots assuming a defensive position by using Rui as a shield. She would then use her shoes to dash up a nearby wall and revealing her Armor Piercer it was a quick one two slice to cut through two of the men, landing behind the group putting them between her and Retsu + Rui. A click of her teeth as she fired her hallucogenic needles at the man known as Araki. [break][break]
