✧ TAKAMAGAHARA WEST ✧

In the Western Wing of Takamagahara

Steeled for battle, what awaited the combatants that arrived in Takamagahara's Western Wing was... Serenity and beauty. A peaceful zen garden where it was so quiet that one could hear the gentle sound of rushing water and a low, harmonious hum that seemed to originate from the spores that hung in the air.

At first glance, out of all the areas in Takamagahara, nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. No guards, no Nomu, no people. Just natur-...did the tree blink? For the exceptionally discerning individuals, the bushes, rocks, and trees all had eyes, and some had small heads, with more than a few having more than one. There was another sound mixed in with all the ambient ones - breathing.

All around them and these creatures, these Nomu, had one thing in common: they were all desperately trying to breathe. As your group crossed the threshold to get deeper into the garden, something stirs and a dozen of those breathing rocks stir as they rise up to nearly 10 feet tall.

"Liberate them." The Nomu advanced, swinging out at the interlopers.

T

railblazer or a kid with a death wish? You decide. Farrin burst between the lumbering golems and their trunk-like arms as they swung for him. Pinnacle and Haīroguma, heroes of the Above & Beyond agency and his mentors before UA, shouted for his return, but it was too late. He had targets locked in his sights and an objective fixed in his mind. Pave the way for the pros. 

The villainous head honchos would undoubtedly be rooted in the deepest depths of the facility, farthest from the heroes' reach. Above & Beyond were at work carving out new safe zones along the western front for others to transition to before heading deeper into enemy territory. Farrin, however, specialized in moving fast and hitting hard. While they cleared another foothold, he would rip and tear through these things and clear a path forward. Let the pros save their energy for big bads below... or wherever they were.

"All these years, and he hasn't learned," Pinnacle growled, holding his fists together, then splitting them apart in a seemingly theatrical display. Then fire spat from his hands with the motion and washed over the golem-type Nomu's reaching for the time-turner's heels. 

The wooden limbs charred and collapsed into an ashen heap between blades of grass. And just as swiftly, new roots snaked over the beast and forged larger, stronger limbs in their place. Thunder clapped as the giant, Haīroguma thrust an open palm ahead. From it, a shimmering, though otherwise invisible, power followed behind Pinnacle's flames and blew the closest of the stony creatures apart.

"Apogee, catch up with Oberon and bring him back before he's bogged down. We have no idea what waits ahead," Haīroguma ordered, his tone monotonous and intimidating, however unintentional.  

Apogee was the youngest hero in the agency. Thanks to his quirk, he was also one of the few who could rein Farrin in. Boy had a bit of a mouth on him, though. "Right, right, you old timers send me into the death trap to pull the little punk out, I get it," he replied jokingly. With a flash of light, he disappeared. 

"You trying to get yourself killed this early on? Like, I bet you'd be one of the first, but I still threw my money on you lasting twenty minutes," he picked right back up, appearing just a few meters behind Farrin in another flash of light. 

His quirk allowed him to jump a few meters in a blink and also sling small electrical bolts from his hand or a weapon he was holding, a power fully on display as he whirled the pipe he used as a weapon around and spat two bolts into a duo of the creatures. 

"Time is o' the essence. We've 'em off guard, right?" Farrin grunted between jabs, planting his fist into one of the more wooden earth monster's guts, then smashing its face with a swift and powerful cross-shot. "We need ta' break through these things n' dig deep, probe the area, pin the big bosses down, n' let the pros do their thing."

"Ouch," Apogee replied, "I'm hurt. You know I'm a pro, too, right?" Apogee snickered, firing another bolt into the beast Farrin was picking apart. These things–whatever they were–weren't the strongest opponents Apogee had ever faced, but they were among the most resilient. They continued to reform from the earth around them, or so it seemed, requiring the heroes to lay into them several times over to keep them down.  

"My arse," Farrin grinned, though only for a second. 

His fist pounded away at another beast. Its arm shattered, followed by a leg. A vine wrapped around Farrin's leg yanked him up into the air. Another creature, one that had flanked the time-turner, took hold and threw him toward one of the living trees. "Oh, fook that," Farrin spun in the air, then time slowed in his eyes as he cranked up the speed. He aimed one wrist for the beast, then fired a stun round from his cannon. It cracked against the tree's "arm" and forced it back a step, but it recovered and swung its massive limb. 

Another flash of light and Apogee was above the beast. An electrical bolt spat from the hero's hand and ripped its limb off, leaving it exposed, just in time for Farrin to collide with it, thrusting his fist into what was some approximation for the monster's chest. It fell to the ground with a boom.

Farrin rolled off the beast into the grass, his chest filling and emptying, catching his breath. "One step at a time," Apogee said, helping Farrin to his feet. Pinnacle and Haīroguma were still quite a ways back. Fight here, fight there. Either way, they had a long and dangerous day ahead.

[Lucille Arbogast]

''No waaay. ~'' She let out a little chuckle as she looked around, taking in the zen garden. ''Whoever thought villains could have such good taste in evil lairs.'' Something she would come to regret saying moments later when the creepy atmosphere really hit her. The heavy droning of the spores, the desparate, disembodied breathing. Was this garden... Alive? ''Ew.'' She sighed, putting her hands on her hips as one of the golems which had just looked like an ordinary boulder moments prior stood up to its full size. ''I take it all back, I'm gonna need a word with that Elementalist- woah!'' She leapt to the side just as a Nomu's arm slammed down where she had been moments prior. ''You're faster than you look, but you and your friends aren't that bright, are you?''

Watching the Nomu wind-up for another swing, Lucille mixed sludge with her spit and spat on the ground right under her, leaving behind a puddle of black sludge. Then, just like before, she dodged the overhead swing and watched as the bouncy properties of her sludge sent the Nomu's arm flying backwards, and in turn sent it falling onto its back. It was a nifty little trick for dealing with one of them, but there was more than she could, and who knew how big this place was. Staying near where she had come through the teleporter she tried to catch the attention of any other stragglers that hadn't tried to run ahead like Farrin. ''Okay everybody, let's stick together, conserve your powers unless you absolutely need to use them, caw caw! ~''

As much as she wanted to just run ahead herself she saw any and all students here as her own responsibility. Farrin had someone helping him already and he was probably going to be okay for now.

Farrin, Matsu

[attr="class","kiminoright"] "Girl, you're so right!" Stellar couldn't help but agree with Lucille; this place didn't feel like an evil lair. It felt more like they took a trip to the countryside. Even still, she remained on high alert and was happy she did when these stones creatures rose. "These must be the Nomu!" The reports she read before coming here called them that even if she wasn't quite sure what it meant. "Oberon, Phantasmagoria! I'll provide support by knocking these guys down and you guys can do the rest!" She would leap back as the Nomu swung at her. She would extend yellow whips in her hands and swing them forward, wrapping them around the legs of one of the Nomu and then pulling as hard as she could, watching the monster fall on its back.[break][break] She was about to do the same to another when her communicator beeped.

With a click, she'd respond, "Understood! I'm on my way!" With this area being under control and Lucille there to keep everyone safe, she'd call out, "You guys got this! I need to provide support for another squad; stay safe!" [break][break] She would turn on her heels and make her way back to the teleporter and with a deep breath took a step inside. Back in the central area she got her directions and took the teleporter they directed her to which sent her to...[break][break]

“I’m short on time,” A phone to my ear, as I'm in the mountains. There are better people to call, all of which would have been informed by now. The only one who could tell him — who would tell him — was me. “Kei Hada’s been kidnapped.”

I still feel its weight in my pocket by the time I enter the base; the ground is shaking. Something is moving. And whatever it is, it has friends. Much like them, I’m not alone either; I’m never alone. There are black rabbits running through the west wing making sense of what was happening. Even as they saw whatever it was they saw, they did not disappear — they couldn’t fathom what they were looking at.

It was only when one of them saw Farrin that it poofed into a puff of black smoke. I can feel where it was the way one feels their hands and send a few other rabbits in that direction. Some will survey the perimeter, while a few will make their way to the time turner. All but one perish, and I piece together the gist of what’s happening.

Something was making its move. The signs were obvious. Whatever created those sea monsters was at the root of this attack. And in the midst of combat, Farrin finds a black rabbit plopping onto his head as I bide my time, waiting for an opportune moment to strike.

Unlike him, there’s only so much I could do.

this is where the bruises come from
this is where the game gets ugly.

There’s a mask over her face. It looks like an oni’s mouth, black as the shadows enveloping her limbs. It feels like a muzzle. But for once, that’s probably for the best. When she’s this angry - so angry her vision is drenched in red, so angry she physically can’t control her teeth, can’t stop them from sharpening into rows of knifelike shark fangs, roiling to bite and rip and tear out someone’s throat — yeah. It was a smart call.

Kei would hate it. How it makes her feel, more than anything, probably. But Kei’s not here, and therein lies the fucking problem.

Up until 5 years ago, Yaoyao had spent her whole life being angry. She’d been pretty convinced she’d spend the rest of it angry, too, being honest. She’s been angry and sad, angry and relieved, angry and happy, angry and disgusted, angry and embarrassed, and just about any other combination you could come up with under the sun. But somehow — somehow — even on the worst night of her life to date, the night that changed everything when she was fifteen and stupid and clueless and weak — even then, she’s never been angry and scared.

She is now, though.

Oh, god, she is now.

And it’s an oddly hollow feeling. Distant, almost, for as much as she feels sick with it. Like it’s fire and acid, eating its way through her stomach, her lungs, her chest, her heart. Like she could hurl up lava and drown in it.

She’d almost fought tooth and nail against being separated from Ryota, right now, but he’d made good points. Split up, they could cover more ground. And he was strong, and he wouldn’t be alone. Same for Jun. Yaoyao still hadn’t wanted to separate from either of them, but efficiency demanded sacrifices — and even if it hadn’t been for th and she was too angry to speak, much less come up with a decent counterargument with the seconds ticking away as it was. Then there’d been only just enough time for a hug — tugged quick and fierce for a squeeze, silent affection just in case — and his voice in her ear:

“Go.”

He was family. When it counted, when he spoke, she listened. So she went.

Now, she slams into the garden with an impact that shakes the ground. She rises. She is ink and shadow and the silhouette of fire, consumed entirely in pitch-black darkness, bare pinpricks of light taking shape for sight, and she is more beast than woman. They wanted monsters...

Here she is.



She doesn’t think. Doesn’t plan. She sees a target — a staggering behemoth of stone and moss and vines — and claws extended, shadowy maw wide open, unleashing a blood-curdling scream, she lunges for its head.

---

TL:DR;
- Yaoyao's here
- Yaoyao's pissed
- Yaoyao may do more harm than good
- Yaoyao is going to try to rip off a nomu's head clean off its shoulders

 few teams were pushing through the zen garden and the surrounding woods now. Pinnacle and Haīroguma secured the opening to the West Wing, meeting the oncoming Nomu as they came so others could push further into the territory. Phantasmagoria and Stellar were closer to the silty grounds of the garden, though the latter disappeared as soon as she came. Still, she left an opening–and Farrin acted on it. 

The time-turner leaped into the air, then landed with a fist thrust through the golem's face. Stone crumbled, and the creature went still. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have gone for lethal damage, but these things were more like amalgamations of nature, stone, wood, and earth rather than traditional living creatures. Plus, many of them regenerated using the environment to supplement their forms. Whatever put them down fastest and most efficiently was the way to go. 

Apogee lashed at one of the tree-creatures with another bolt while Farrin looked to Phantasmagoria. "Some o' em heal," he warned with a huff. Maybe his confidence got the better of him this time, but the strategy was sound. Taking on all these monsters alone would be problematic. Still, the more enemies he removed now, the less the pros would need to expend themselves before the throwdown against the Elementalist. 

His head bobbed slightly as a fluffy companion plopped atop his mane. A familiar sight–one of Rahul's bunnies "I dun' know fer sure, but I think they draw in some o' the plants n' stones n' such around 'em ta replenish 'emselves unless heavy enough damage is done," he iterated on the specific mechanisms of that perceived healing, "Best move would be ta' dig as deep as we can, as fast as we can, no? Starling Soul dropped us in 'ere, but no' much ta' go on. Probably no time ta explain it all–but The Elementalist has ta' be at the center o' this facility, where it's most difficult ta reach, right?." Phantasmagoria was a full-fledged pro and UA staff, so if there was anyone to check that seemingly obvious theory against, it was her.
 
"Watch out!" Apogee shouted.

Farrin spun, three large, serrated lianas stabbing between himself and Lucille. A fourth lashed at Farrin, but he ducked, the unfortunate bunny atop his crown puffing into black smoke. Farrin charged, lobbing himself into the source of the attack, one of three golems charging the duo. No time to chat or strategize. They had to keep fighting. A point defined by the shuddering earth beneath his feet. A turn of the head and Farrin found a mound of shadow tear one into one of the beasts. Whoever it was, they had the right idea. 

---

tldr: Farrin finishes off one of the golems, meets up with Lucille while Rahul's bunny lands on his head, relays some of the Golem Nomu's feats he's seen, then jumps back into the fight as another trio of monsters approach. He also sees YY tear into one of the beasties.

Takamagahara was an ironic name choice as this place was like stepping into hell. Ylva was late; when she went down with her roommates, she had been teleported to a different space than the rest and had spent her time fighting nonstop. Once she got back to the central area alongside the others, she had been told to take it easy and stay put for first aid. For what might have been the first time since coming to UAU, Ylva was going to set aside her own admittedly selfish and reclusive attitude... [break][break]

She was angry.[break][break]


Wiping off blood that was not hers from her cheek, she took a step through the teleporter to make it into the west wing. With Misaki and Masao both separated from her, she was getting progressively more irritated by this endless onslaught of creatures. Misaki could handle herself but that big crimson oaf would get killed if she was left alone. In her mind, this was solely because she didn't want to be responsible for her death but...was that really true? No time to think about it anymore she had a job to do. [break][break]

Familar people. Competent People. No need to hold back or conserve her energy she's come out guns blazing. She would start with rhythmic breaths as she built up the energy. Reeling her hand back she would activate her Super Move, Jigoku no Nenshō [Burning Hell], igniting the air behind her in a blaze of red-orange flame. "Out of the way, now!" She'd swing her arm forward, launching the flame she gathered as a dense column of fire at one of the Nomu, incinerating the upper half of its body. [break][break]

This wasn’t a coincidence.

There was a series of increasing phenomena that caused my rabbits to disappear. It wasn’t uncommon for them to be afraid of their own shadows, let alone one that belonged to a woman in the woods who had thought it fun to hunt them down. If it weren’t for her — and the fox, admittedly — I wouldn’t know Kei’s secret.

Then, one of the few competent souls that I had met during the sports festival. She, too, unsurprisingly had developed her quirk. I didn’t understand the process by which she manifested flame from ice, but it was ironic considering her inspiration for the second super I had developed. But it wasn’t time to reminisce.

Farrin’s instructions were… good enough. Much like Farrin, I expected more. Lucky for him, and everyone else here, I know what I’m doing, even if I’m the weakest amongst us all. My strength not lies in my physical capability, or the power output of my quirk, but in it’s ability to collect information.

I’ll search this whole damn facility.

Something appears in front of me. One of the creatures Farrin had been fighting. But in order to prioritize rescue, I had rely on nothing but my fists.

“We've wanted this.” I’m speaking to the other part of my mind. Not the thinker, but the doer. The one who doesn’t get a voice; the one who doesn’t have the luxury of understanding. “Don’t hold back your punches.”

“man… this is not where i’m supposed to be.” trees? what the heck was i gonna do here? pick up random mushrooms? that stuff could be poisonous! the only stuff i eat is from the garbage cos that? well, that’s my forte, y’know. i can tell when the mushroom from the pizzas have gone bad or not.

but instead there’s just a bunch of tree people runnin’ around. i’d like to say they were payin’ me no mind but since my bat is still all messed up i ended up rippin off one of its own limbs and using it to beat it to death before i make my way out of here.

i was hired for this, too. and bam. immediately lost. that bar guy is gonna be so mad at me cos he thought i flaked but i swear i would’ve done it for free! i even offered… but he insisted.

“sorry buddy,” my thoughts are everywhere. “in another life i’d think we’d be friends. i’m gonna keep this…” i wave around his arm. “maybe… if you have a change of heart…” i know it’s dead but maybe like the seeds or somethin’ will grow a new one? “but i gotta go.”

[attr="class","likedotitle2"]A NEW NOMU HAS APPEARED!

[attr="class","likedoinfo"]

The stone creatures were met with heavy resistance as several of them were obliterated by the combined efforts. They weren't entirely disposed of at this point, but at the rate the ragtag group was going their numbers were dropping fast

Everyone in the area would suddenly hear a chime as the existing golems stopped moving. They would be unresponsive to anything that was going on around them as if they were in a trance.

A soft voice would speak out that all could hear "Countermeasures."

A rumble could be felt below everyone's feet as the existing golems crouched back down, their upper body shrinking almost as if they were turning back to normal rocks. From the 'ashes,' so to speak, rose a different form of golem, one that a few would recognize from the news.

"Rooks." Three replaced many, [resembling The Rumbling Titan] [See: Elementals - The Rumbling for more details!] and they moved forward splitting the three between different groupings of people. They were slow, but their toughness was on a different level, and their bulk/weight would prove an advantage when...

If that wasn't already enough, a 'natural disaster' would strike shortly after. The water in the pools around the garden would bubble and then swell. [Water in the form of hydra heads popped up all over], and they surged forward, merging in a giant wave that would sweep anyone not ground or anchored to the earth in a flowing torrent that couldn't hope to fight against.

Perhaps there was someone around who could help fortify the battlefield? Or someone durable and strong enough to stand against these waves to fight back...?

PHARAOH LEAP.

''Stay safe, Stellar-chan! ~'' She winked at her colleague as she took off to help elsewhere after providing some much needed support here. These 'Nomu', they really came in all shapes and sizes, huh. She was about to follow-up on the Nomu that was approaching from the side Stellar was covering, but she didn't need to as Farrin came leaping onto the scene. ''Do they now?'' She let out a carefree sigh in response to Farrin's observation that some of the monsters could heal. ''That would make the most logical sense.'' She smiled at Farrin, putting a hand on her hip. ''Assuming The Elementalist is like a King in a castle, and that he is still integral to what these villains are planning, he would surely put as many obstacles as possible between us and him. I can-'' She was about to continue when her conversation with Farrin was interrupted. Reacting swiftly, she rolled out of the way of the attack and much like Farrin, was about to prepare a counterattack until she saw what Ylva was charging up.

Yaoyao was coming into this with everything she had too, and Rahul had already started deploying bunnies. She couldn't help but smile at this sight, feeling proud of her students as she transformed her arms into wings and took to the skies, flying over Ylva's supermove attack as it engulfed the nearby Nomu.

The sound of the chime sent a chill down her spine. All at once the stone Nomu had stopped moving?

''Countermeasure?'' She repeated what she had heard the soft voice say. The eerily familiar rumble was all it took to piece together what it meant. Whoever was controlling the monsters was adapting to their growing numbers. ''Those rooks...'' A sense of dread washed over her as she remembered being part of the evacuation effort in Nerima prefecture during the Rumbling. She had already seen firsthand how destructive these constructs could be. Without hesitating, she sent a message out to her allies across Takamagahara. ''Rumbling golems have appeared in Takamagahara West! This is Phantasmagoria, requesting back up, we need people with quirks focused around strength and toughness, we're losing our momentum-'' Her voice was cut off as things turned from bad to worse. The sound of water swelling and roaring brought about a sudden high tide. She was safe from the massive wave up here, but the others weren't...

Knowing that she had to do something she acted on instinct, diving towards the nearest student. Swooping down on Yaoyao, she would pick her up with her talons and lift her up and out of the wave before it could sweep her away. ''Yāoguǐ! Are you okay?'' In all her time as Yaoyao's teacher she had never seen her quirk manifest the way it had, but it was surely still her under that shadowy visage.

Two clean hits is all it takes.

They’re golems. They don’t have human anatomy but the way they’re constructed leaves them with the same weakpoints — I’m not punching with my body, but with the entirety of the universe behind me. I’m a vessel for the physics itself. One by one they collapse. Help even arrives… Or what I had thought to be help before they mourned the death of a single enemy before leaving elsewhere.

Apparently, they had the right idea. The ground shakes, water starts flooding and I follow him out of the West Wing. There are better people for this job. And with my bunnies spreading across the entirety of the operation, I already know where I’m headed and who I’m looking for.

A few rabbits are fighting for their lives here. I’ll have another stick by Farrin, if possible. If I can trust on anyone to survive, then it’s him. And if he doesn’t, well, I’d like to know that, too.
