[attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]Why TF am I here?! [attr="class","rhythm"] It would look good on the hero resume, she rationalized.  It would help me get in good standing with other heroes, she also rationalized.  If I do well maybe I could have some leverage to get some maybe restricted information, she further rationalized.  Now that she was here, there was a humongous amount of anxiety and stress as she was making sure she had everything...  Which was honestly a lot of nothing since she barely had a hero suit scrambled together with a pair of orange trousers held up by black suspenders, a sleeveless button up with a bowtie, and a half-masked that covered the bottom half of her face with a thermoplastic jaw attachment and a cloth that covered her mouth and nose if she needed to adjust it. Kikurage was definitely rocking her look and doing her best to maintain a stoic facade, but internally she was kicking her own ass to high heaven because she had no godly reason for being here.  But she made her choice, and she was gonna have to lie in this bed, so as she finally worked up the nerve to speak to Starling Soul to send her to the group that had Lucille Arbogast.  That faculty member was currently the teacher she interacted with the most outside of class, which definitely wasn't saying much as of now but it was her best bet. Being warped alone was a slightly stomach churning experience, but in the middle of conflict was just another layer of yuck.  At least the lush-looking environment was a plus, a little bit more so by the creatures made of organics and the like.  At least she'll be a bit in her element? No time to really contemplate this or that, her eyes immediately locked onto many different familiar faces, but the one that seemed to attract her attention the most was her Green Club associate Ylva.  Arriving just in time to hear the nonsense about Countermeasures and Rooks from presumably someone not good, since it didn't seem like anyone in the nearby area uttered those words.  Then there were the pools of water going wild in the garden, surging and expanding trying to take out anyone and anything. "Deathcap here!  Growing platforms!" Kikurage blurted out as she tried to run over to Ylva and everyone around her.  Upon seeing the surge of water coming closer, Kikurage planted her feet in the ground and emitted black spores from her forearms.  The spores upon touching the ground would erupt into a small thicket of mushrooms, expanding and growing upward from beneath their feet.  The mushrooms grew and melded together, creating a rising platform that would hopefully lift all the good people in the near area up and over these waters. Kiku bit her lip as she kneeled atop this oversized Amanita Mushroom platform she created, putting a good amount of effort ensuring that this platform definitely rooted itself in the ground and gave solace to the fighters who need assistance with against this liquid nuisance. >> Kiku pensively arrives, stomaching her regrets >>  Upon teleports, realizes she arrived as things got more dangerous.  Frick. >>  Uses spores to create a tall mushroom platform to weather out the tides of water, straining to maintain and root this platform while others did their Fight Business (tagged)⏤ Lucille Arbogast,Matsu,Jinx,𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐲,Ylva Riis,Farrin,𝕐 + 𝕐,

[Masao Ando]

Running through the teleporter, she had very nearly been burned alive in Takamagahara East and now found herself walking straight into a flash flood. She recognized a lot of the faces here, everyone but Deathcap and the shadow monster Lucille was carrying, or was that another Nomu? Oh well, she was positive her teacher had it handled. She wasn't here to help those who already looked like they were doing fine, she was here to help those who were struggling. Namely, Ylva Riis who Misaki had told her about.

Dashing forward when she noticed Ylva near Deathcap, Masao joined them on the mushroom and grabbed Ylva, dragging her up onto mushroom platform and towards the center. ''Paragon here!'' She announced her presence, looking over at Kiku. ''I stand with you, Deathcap-san.'' What an absurdly useful power. What would have happened to everyone if Kiku hadn't shown up when she did? ''Riis-san, are you hurt? Misaki-san told me you might need a hand.'' Things here were more dire than she dared imagine. The only thought on her mind now was how could she best apply herself? Save more people from the water and bring them to the mushroom? She wasn't exactly a professional swimmer.

The giant rook that was encroaching on Kiku, Ylva and her gave her the answer she was looking for. ''Deathcap-san, how long can you sustain this mushroom?'' She stood up and turned to face the creature. Judging by its looks it was durable, her sword would probably no good against it. She looked over her shoulder one last time at Ylva. ''From the looks of it, you have already done your part.'' Her body started to glow with a bright light as she turned her eyes back on the rook. ''Now I will do mine, and I will continue to do it until these things are gone!'' In a flash, a shiny suit of metal armor adorned with rose patterns manifested over Masao's body to protect her. Just in the nick of time too, as the rook reared its arm back to send a punch hurling down towards the girls and Kiku's mushroom platform.

Stopping the rook's punch with her hands, Masao's knees almost buckled under the pressure, but she continued to push back, refusing to back down as she entered into a contest of strength with the beast. ''Cease your futile attack, monster! You cannot harm us!''

How long could she keep this up?

umps of shattered stone parted beneath Farrin's fist. Another golem down. Its "head" crumbled, and the body swiftly followed suit. Two more continued to charge, but their ranks were halved by the infernal stream that blew by just a few meters to Farrin's side. Brilliantly bright and immensely hot, the flames consumed another of the creatures, making cinders of its upper body. Casting fire against the earth was normally a horrid act, but it was wholly welcome in this case. 

"Alright, we need ta' press now!" Farrin shouted, lunging for the last of the immediate trio.

A large, trunk-like arm rose in its defense, but all Farrin was met with was stillness. It froze, accepting its fate, his gloved fist tearing into it without resistance. Then, the creature crumbled. Countermeasures?

The earth rumbled. Dirt, grass, and stone swirled into a mound just a few more meters out. Then there were three. Thunder rang as stone collided with stone, then shifted at the base-most level. The mounds split, and from them rose three metal giants. Each was like a suit of armor, standing at nearly three stories. 

And the hits kept coming. 

The waters surrounding the garden congealed into a slew of draconic monstrosities, swirling together until the tidal force swept over the grounds and threatened to drown the hero-student force. "Shoulda brought me trunks," Farrin sighed, "Alrighty then, big fella, room fer two up there?" 

Farrin sped ahead, snatching up another of Rahul's rabbits and depositing it on his right shoulder, then lunged into the air. He latched onto a jutting piece of metal, like a spike pointing out from the knight's approximation of a knee. He lifted himself up, then jumped again, landing on its shoulder. Pummeling the earth and scaling house-sized knights was not how he saw this day going.

"Jus' gonna take a little off the top," Farrin murmured, rushing along its shoulder and throwing a few jabs for the knight's head. 

Farrin swung like lightning. One dent. Two. five. The thing gave but refused to break. Moreover, it appeared entirely unbothered, its gargantuan hand reaching for the shoulder. It was trying to swat him away like fecking fly.

"Oh, leave it out!" The time-turner half shouted, half sighed. "Hol' on little buddy," he warned the rabbit. 

It was a solid strat to evade the tides below, but maybe a little combined firepower would put these things down faster. Below, he spotted some of the others standing atop a rather large mushroom. Another of the giant knights had swung but seemed to be struggling. Someone was holding that thing back, though Farrin couldn't see who–they were obscured from his position by the actual giant fist.

Farrin leaped off the knight's shoulder and spread his arms and legs for a little controlled descent. He kicked off the golem's chest as he fell, redirecting his fall. Some proper course correction, and he was locked on target. This is gonna hurt, he thought. The wind swept through his hair, tousling his dark mane as he fell for the attacking knight's arm. He threw as much force as he could muster together with good ol' gravity in a hard shot aimed for the inside of the monster's elbow. There was no telling what sort of physics it might obey, but maybe that saw the limb weaken and offer some respite to whoever was holding the blowback.   

---

tldr: Farrin scaled one of the metal golems to avoid the tides. He hit the side of its head a few times, leaving dents, but not big damage. It tried to swat him away, so he leaped off. As he fell, he aimed for the golem attacking the others, and struck its inner elbow, hoping to take some pressure off Masao.

Panting as she continued to fire off blast after blast to take out as many of the Nomu as possible while trying to keep herself upright. Even before she started using her Super Move, she had pushed herself a little too far. All of this culminated in her water detection from her quirk waning slightly, which in turn meant that the torrent of water slammed into her knocking the wind out of her and briefly pushing her under the water. [break][break]

Sent spinning by the flow of water, she was holding her breath, trying to push through the force of the water to break through to the surface. She would grit her teeth and right herself, finally breaking the surface but still finding herself at the mercy of the rushing water. That was until a cushion appeared in the form of a...giant mushroom? She would take the opportunity to grab hold to stop herself from being forced further away. It took only a moment to put two and two together as this meant an acquaintance she didn't mind getting help from - Kiku. [break][break]



This relief turned to mild irritation as Masao managed to pull her out of the water and onto the mushroom. Coughing up some water and leaning back as she caught her breath, her eyes drifted over to the two redheads and she focused on Kiku before speaking "I owe you one." She would never admit it, but she was also talking to Masao. As much as part it bothered her when Masao spun the same line Ylva said to her back when they were fighting at Tokyo Bay she, for the first time, cracked a smile. It was a very unfriendly smile, but it was nonetheless a smile. [break][break]

At the sight of Masao aiming to protect both of them from the incoming golem Ylva took a deep breath and rose to her feet, swaying a bit on the mushroom. She was watching Masao get pushed back slowly over time and Ylva would take a step forward and place a palm on the back of her armor, leaning into it to help support the weight. She still needed to recover fully but she could manage something basic for now and if Masao fell it was all over for them. "What you're experiencing right now is a fraction of what actual heroes have to be able to handle." Ice would begin to creep up Masao's gauntlets forming a brace and offering her some extra offense. "As a hero course student, I'm used to situations like this, so until I recover fully, I'll give you a hand." Just a little longer taking a breather and she could freeze this whole field. She had to if they wanted to survive.[break][break]

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

As if the flames weren’t bad enough.

There’s a fear, somewhere in the dark recesses of her long-gone memory, of something like this. A memory itself, of waterlogged lungs. Of life and air bubbling away through sludge. Of drowning. But make no mistake, she’s prepared to meet it — somewhere beneath all the grief and rage and fear, what’s left of her lucidity is braced against the coming tide.

Anything for him. Anything. Face it, fight it, survive it. For him.

The wild, endless rage consuming her like hellfire is louder than any tidal wave, anyway.

Someone grabs her; she doesn’t know who. Can’t be a friend, it’s not ginger hair and jade eyes, and it’s not a suit of screaming-bright red either, but the only other option apparently left to her burning mind is enemythreatdangerawfulBAD so she bites and kicks and claws and screams. The hands on her feel awful. Acid and fire, poison straight through the shadows to her skin. She lashes out, maybe she catches something and umbral claws slice through like butter or maybe she catches nothing at all, strung up humiliatingly like a wildcat by the scruff, but she hates it, hates this, hates this. Those hands, this place, this world, where the sun is gone and all light with it and all there is - is sick and dark and burning and cold.

Maybe she cries something like “LET ME GO” only it comes out a mangled, barely legible howl. Maybe she just screams (which is an endeavor through the muzzle trying its damndest to keep her mouth sealed shut but somehow she manages). Maybe there’s not really a difference.

Either way, there is a killing intent eating her alive from the inside out, and once she rips herself from the grasp of (a stranger?) — she dives for the first, and biggest, thing in her way: an oversized tin man. There are shadows in those eye-holes - and there’s nowhere a shadow is more comfortable than amongst its own kind.

Yaoyao dives, and dark shadows, interspersed with lavender wisps, dive with her. What’s left of Yaoyao’s lucidity is shepherded, pulled along - urged to dig into that metal chassis and hold on tight. But she is not alone — neither of them ever are — and where one is lost to fear and rage, the other finds it in herself to step up and get to work. There must be some sort of weakness, some opening, some chink in the armor… there must be.

---

TL:DR;
- Yaoyao freaks out at being grabbed, not lucid enough to recognize Lucille as being on her side, and lashes out with shadow claws to try and get free
- Yaoyao is having a Time
- When she gets free from Lucille, either by force or by being set free, Lili steps in to chaperone a bit of rationality back into the equation - they dive for the nearest of the rooks and grab onto its head, with Lili’s lavender shadows slipping through the eye-shaped holes in the rook’s head to search inside for some sort of weakness or something they can use to hurt it

[Lucille Arbogast]

''I got you! You're safe now.'' She called out, smiling down at Yaoyao as she lifted her out of harm's way. Much to her dismay however, she didn't seem to appreciate being saved all that much. She struggled to hold Yaoyao up as she started clawing at her. ''H-Hey calm down! It's okay!'' What in the world was happening to her? Was she being controlled by the Elementalist somehow? But if he was capable of something like that, why only Yaoyao? ''It's me, your teacher, Phantasmagoria-'' She was determined to keep trying, to find a way to get through to her, but it was all for naught as umbral claws sunk into her and gave her a nasty cut just above her leg, causing her to drop Yaoyao in response and almost fall right out of the sky then and there.

''Wait!... Yaoyao!!'' She panted, blood trickling down her leg as her body screamed out in pain. All she could do was watch her student take off and plunge right back into the fight with no regard for her own safety. Things were getting out of hand fast. She was injured and to make matters worse these rooks were a terrible match up for her quirk. Maybe she could help in some way that didn't involve fighting?

Seeing Kiku's mushroom platform gave her an idea, as she dove down just above the waves and started fishing people out of the water one by one and flying them over to Kiku. However, she wasn't able to save that many due to her injury, and soon crashed next to Kiku, turning her quirk off to conserve energy. ''Hey, you don't mind if I join you for a moment, do you, Deathcap-san?'' She smiled, pressing her hands down on her wound.

[Kikurage Shimeiji]

[attr="class","Im"]

[attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]Decaying Danger [attr="class","rhythm"] Kikurage found some relief in her timing, having arrived in time to create a fungal platform to act as some sort of solace from the surging tides below.  Arriving just in time to create a cushion for Ylva as another person arrived, calling themselves Paragon, succinctly acted to help the Greenhouse acquaintance out.  Despite this, Kikurage focused on expanding the size of the mushroom platform, slowly but steadily to forcefully root the myco-platform pretty handily to weather these waves.   Ylva would say that she owes Kiku one, which was retorted with a simple, "Appreciate the sentiment, but we're fighting to survive.  Not the place to keep tally.  Thanks will suffice." A roundabout way to rejecting the notion of favors for doing the smart and arguably heroic thing, but Kiku's asocial tendencies were well-ingrained into her psyche. Paragon would inquire how long the shroom could be sustained, which was responded with a curt, "Long as none of you catch these shrooms on fire and cause my spores to spontaneously combust, I can continue reinforcing and giving strength to this shroom.  It will still persist if I let go, but no guarantees as to how long it'd last."  But a small pause grew as the appearance of a golem lumbering towards them would alarm her, "That would be a problem." That was when she felt a cold sweat form upon seeing this hulking creature.  Her mind raced a million miles a minute as she contemplated destroying this mushroom to create individual floaties for the people, but the arrival of others would soon ruin that idea. Removing one of her two planted hands from the fungal platform and aiming the palm of her left hand at the encroaching Golem.  Aiming for its torso as Masao and Farrin began their counter-attacks, the spores would splash against its metallic surface as fungi started to layer itself against its exterior.  Pleurotus Mushrooms grew from the fungal layer, growing larger and larger as it absorbed the metallic and rocky nutrients of this Golem.  It was the least she could do to decay the composition of this creature, trying to make it weaker and improve the odds of her allies stopping it. She could feel her arm cramp quite heavily, having to stop herself from the continuous stream of spores as she planted the hand back against the Mushroom Platform.  Hoping she contributed enough in the fight itself, her efforts would work towards assisting others by providing further solace from the waters.  Almost finding herself kind of forced to as Lucille flew over and continued dropping injured people atop the mushroom platform. Which ultimately resulted in the Faculty Member crashing into the cushioned mushy platform.  "Oi!" She blurted out, being freaked out by the crash landing as she reverted from her harpy-like form back to something humanlike.  Making a Rhetorical Question about staying on the platform.  "Sure, make yourself comfortable.  I'll be responsible for everyone not drowning, don't worry about it Phanta-saaaan!"  She huffed in annoyance, most from the strain of using her quirk in a two-fold way as continued kneeling against the massive mushroom, hands firmly planted as it was the most she could handle right now. Hopefully the waters subside sooner than later for Kiku's own sanity. >> Kiku pleased to have helped Ylva, meets Paragon >> Answers Masao's questions, and is intimidated by the approaching golem. >> Contemplates bailing, but instead blasts the Golem's torso with Pleurotus Mushrooms to absorb some of its rocky/metallic nutrients from its body's composition, making it weaker and more susceptible to Masao and Farrin >> Makes fatigue-induced complaints about making sure to carry everyone whilst giving a concise answer to Lucille, heated words not directed at anyone in particular (tagged)⏤ 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐲,Lucille Arbogast,Matsu,Jinx,🆁🅴🅼,Ylva Riis,Farrin,𝕐 + 𝕐,Stellar,

T

he combined efforts of the resistance below, the spores eating at the creature's core, and Farrin cannonballing himself, fist-first, into the metal giant's arm saw the gargantuan knight's arm buck slightly. From his place partway up the giant's arm, it was hard to tell what effect this had on those pushing back against its fist, but hopefully, the waning strength of its blow would relieve the defenders and leave the knight open.

Only a fool would play 'wait and see.' No matter the effect, there was no other recourse in the time-turner's mind but to press the offensive. Resolve and impatience mixed into something as powerful as it was volatile. Something that marshaled his strength and gave him focus. Could he give a metal giant a concussion? They were about to find out. 

Farrin tightened his core, then pressed ahead. His legs exploded into movement; he was a brilliant streak of emerald and white burning up the giant's arm. He leaped from the monster’s shoulder as YaoYao passed overhead to another of their enemies. The shadowy figure remained an unknown quantity. Farrin didn't really know Yaoyao, nor had he witnessed her attack on Phantasmagoria. Earlier she attacked one of the golems below, and was now sweeping in on one of the Rooks, so he filed her off as an ally until she gave him a reason to believe otherwise. 

“Eat this!” He shouted, closing the distance between him and his target.

Farrin's right arm simultaneously tightened and went loose. A powerful contradiction that mustered his might and focused it into his fist, then he brought the hammer down–launching himself forward. Again he targeted the head, throwing his speed and his strength into one massive blow.

[attr="class","likedotitle2"]THE BATTLEFIELD HAS CHANGED!

[attr="class","likedoinfo"]

The flow of the rushing water gradually began to slow down as the combinations of the golem and platforms that Kikurage made created a daming effect, eventually turning the rushing water into still water about 8 feet deep.

The golem advancing on Kikurage, Lucille, Farrin, Ylva, and Masao had a one-track mind pursuing its targets without so much as flinching from the combination assault but the group was able to stop its movements thanks to Masao acting as a shield. The following affliction of multiple different attacks overwhelmed its hard exterior began to crack revealing...

A person?

From Yaoyao and Lili's infiltration of the golem, they would find the same thing - a person.

These people were anything but ordinary, as those looking at the person would see the image of the person they cared for the most/were closest to looking back at them. The golem Yaoyao was on top of cracked as a disheveled Kei Hada looked back at her before leaping at her, aiming for her throat to drag her under the water as the golem it was housed in fell to pieces.

The one in front of the other group had the person flop in front of them, unmoving but shaking uncontrollably as if it were seizing up. For those looking at this one they would see the following:

Masao -> Enma Arashi
Farrin -> Sada
Lucille -> Diego
Kikurage -> Her deceased father
Ylva -> Kikurage

If that wasn't all from the farthest point in the room, a chill would sweep through as It hung in the air ominously before pointing its red staff at the last remaining golem. A Guardian Nomu.

"consurge et progredi" its voice was loud and yet hung in the air like a soft whisper as the golem swelled, the formation on its body changing as it packed on bulk looking much more durable than the previous two combined. The water in the room began to recede, pooling in the middle as it took on a humanoid form resembling ['The Tide' from the Elementals] event earlier this year.

If that wasn't enough, the body of the person who was originally seizing up stopped and then shimmered before multiplying into five copies of itself. All of them rose to their feet and then charged at each target.

Even if they could all deal with the Tide golem and subdue those they cared for the most, it looked like they would need some extra heavy firepower to deal with the new and improved rumbling golem...

[THREAD MODIFIER ACTIVATED: INVIGORATION BUFF!]

Mod Note: Hi all! Until said otherwise, there is a buff due to the presence of the 'Guardian' in which, for Super Moves the drawbacks are recovered from quickly, which ultimately allows more liberal use of Super Moves (This will go live in the other threads at the same time as their next mod post so don't worry about losing it if you swap threads!)

[attr="class","Im"]

[attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]Daddy Issues [attr="class","rhythm"] With everyone's efforts coming together and taking down the golem in front of them, it should have stirred feelings of confidence with in Kikurage.  In fact, for a few short moments they did as she felt like she had tremendously contributed in helping take down an insurmountable obstacle.  Heck, she felt a tad bit prideful that she was finding herself extremely useful with the variety her quirk was able to bring to this situation. However, as the golem cracked apart her heart had sunk into a bottomless pit as she saw someone who had left a gigantic hole in her heart when he left her life a second time.  A Gruff old man with tattered and wild red hair, with an eternally scowling face half covered by a ghastly ghoulish red half-mask; adorned in a formal attire similar to that of a regal gangster or gentleman with that black and crimson suit of his.  Her eyes widened as she watched him fall from the golem, and it was almost like time had slowed down. For a young woman who had spent her life heavily leaning on the logical and rational, she knew her father should have been dead.  She was there at the funeral, she has been dedicating a lot of her own time and personal life trying to figure out who killed him, she even knew that there was a money trail somewhere that confirmed that her father was dead.  But seeing his body, somewhat filled with life, falling from the core of the golem the little girl who lost her dad was tearing herself apart.  She hated and loathed the weak her who couldn't do anything to save her dad, having actual aspirations to become a hero until his death.  Heck, even now her dreams were still dead as going to UAU was just a means to an end in finding her father's killer. But for someone who wanted nothing more than a chance to save her own father, it was one of the few times Kikurage willingly chose to look past her own logic and reasoning, and chased after what she wanted to believe to be true. "DAAAAD!?!!!!" Kiku howled in absolute despair, kipping herself up and sprinting towards the fake.  And if no one stopped or helped Kikurage, she would absolutely get caught by the fake's attack and be sent into the brink down below. EDIT: 9/14/24 12:28 AM, making the Summary more indepth >>  Kiku's confidence rising due to assisting in taking down the golem >>  Heart sinks as she watches what looks like her Deceased Father falling from the golem >>  Wants to believe that this is her dad, heart is breaking from this >>  Gets up and starts sprinting towards the falling Doppleganger, fully fooled by this illusion >>  If no one stops her, Kiku will definitely get tackled by her Doppleganger and get sent flying off the platform towards the waters below (tagged)⏤ 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐲 ,Lucille Arbogast ,Matsu ,Jinx ,🆁🅴🅼 ,Ylva Riis ,Farrin ,𝕐 + 𝕐 ,Stellar ,

[Arataki Noa]

As a 'veteran' of getting caught up in incidents in the last year, Noa appreciated the fact that despite this raid being one of the biggest incidents yet, this time she was actually participating voluntarily in an organized effort. Basically, people were more prepared. And there were a lot of pros and teachers on the scene. There was no need for a mere student to overextend or bite off more than they could chew. She simply needed to focus on what she could do. At the moment, she was a reserve. With such a specialized quirk, it was more prudent to wait to send her in until they had obtained more information on what they were up against. At the back of her head, if she never ended up getting deployed at all then that was good news. Imagine her surprise when, not only did she get called up to get ready to move out, the reason she was heading in was the sudden appearance of a familiar figure.

Rather than the inside of a building, the location she was sent to looked more like it was taken over by nature. A quick glance around you could definitely tell a battle was taking place here. Unfortunately because of the changes in the environment, Noa was warped a bit of a ways off from where the main group was fighting. But being away from the others was fine cause that meant she could try flanking the enemy and maybe catching them off guard. Speaking of the enemy, there amongst the 'monsters' was the familiar figure of the Tide that gave her a lot of trouble a few months ago. Time to see if she had made any improvement at all. As this was more of an official operation Noa was actually suited up for the first time in a long while.


"Waterfall incoming!"

She locked on to her target and proceeded to employ the strategy that helped win them the fight last time: draining away the golem's water. Rather than exert her water manipulation on the entire thing, she focused on the surface level, stripping away the water layer by layer to decrease the golem's mass and make it easier for an attack from another hero to disperse and scatter the construct. If there was no one capable of doing that, then Noa would at least try to keep it at bay by pulling against it.

TLDR: Noa arrives to help! Targets the Tide golem by attempting to drain away their water and make them smaller and easier to take out with another attack. If no one else attacks it, then Noa will simply try to hold it in place with water manipulation as best as she can.

[Masao Ando]

So long as no fire spread to the platform and she was able to apprehend this beast here, Kiku had created a safe area for everyone. She could feel her quirk enhanced strength slowly crumble from the pressure, but just as she was about to give in she realized it. That she wasn't alone in this fight. Kiku, Farrin... They were fighting back against this thing too. Even Ylva who had already expended much of her energy, froze over her gauntlets. Thanks to the efforts of everyone, once she saw her opening Masao threw a punch at the golem that was enhanced by Ylva's ice, just moments before the whole armor came down from the pressure of their attacks.

Taking the moment to catch her breath, she steeled herself for what came next, but nothing could have prepared her for what she saw. ''Enma?'' The sheer shock of seeing her boyfriend in such a state made her drop her armor. How could he have ended up there? They were fighting knights in the eastern wing mere moments ago. She wanted to reach out and help him, but something in her hesitated. Was this really Enma? It felt as though a knife was being twisted into her heart slowly, there was no doubt it looked like him, but it couldn't be. When the body suddenly stood up and cloned itself, that was when she was fully certain. She only managed to catch a glimpse of the tide golem in the back. She couldn't really stop it here even if she wanted to. Her eyes wandered as Kiku ran towards who she called her dad. ''Deathcap, no!-'' Masao tried to help her, but before she could the Enma clone jumped at her and wrapped its hands around her throat, trying to strangle her as it tackled her to the ground. ''Enma... Please...'' She croaked weakly as she could feel the strength draining from her body. Why was she even trying to plead with a fake?

She couldn't die here, she had to find a way. Rather than struggle to get the monster off of her, she tried to reach for the sword by her side, but could she even stab the one she loved?

[Bakiri Retsu]

Burn it all down

The previous floor didn't have what she was looking for. At least the area she'd been in hadn't and continuing a potentially fruitless search was pointless. Arriving through one of the teleporters Retsu stepped into the mayhem of Takamagahara West with a chip on her shoulder and a rifle on the other.

"Hah." 

What a joke. Like the Ghost of Christmas Past an enemy she'd already dealt with before showed up back from the death but somehow worse. The joke was on them though. It'd nearly killed her last time, she knew what it did now. 

From one of the pouches on her harness Retsu pulled several thermite grenades and stuck them into her grenade launcher. Priority one was making sure she could avoid that insufferable spike attack.

thump.

The first shot was aimed for the shoulder of the arm closest to her, just behind its shoulder plate. With some luck it'd stick there and melt through the entire joint, giving her something to take cover behind if its ranged attack took shape.

thump.

The second one aimed to repeat the same thing on its other shoulder. Retsu cast her gaze around as it flew through the air. The fiercest fighting seemed to be centered around a large mushroom. Whatever that was the people there seemed to have it handled. If she wasn't mistaken she even recognized two of the people present there. Yeah, they had it handled.

thump.

A third was aimed at its head. It missed entirely. Well, two out of three wasn't bad. Speaking of two, there was another large threat around, one that seemed far less susceptible to her combat style. Not her problem then, besides, it seemed like someone else was keeping that one busy anyway. Wait, didn't she recognize her too? Wasn't that the annoyance that broke her ribs with soda cans? Whatever, she had bigger problems to worry about. The reminder didn't piss her off at all.

thump. thump. thump.

All three of the thermite grenades that remained in her grenade launcher were fired straight at the golem's torso. Come to think of it, she'd been there too hadn't she? Having had bigger problems at the time she hadn't realized but the water quirker had been in the Dream too, had seen too. With a hiss Retsu put a hand over her eyepatch as a sharp spike of pain shot through her from the top of her head all the way down her neck. 

It no longer mattered. She'd work with anyone if it meant burning this place to the ground. Averting her gaze from the Rumbling Golem while her thermite got to work attempting to burn through its armor she looked back to the mushroom. It sure seemed like stuff had escalated there since she'd looked away. Putting her grenade launcher away she aimed her rifle their way. Six squeezes of the trigger sent half a dozen bullets flying their way. She didn't bother to figure out whether they'd landed. They either would or they wouldn't, nothing she did now would change that. Mud sopped beneath her boots as she walked further away from the teleporter. She didn't mind sending some assistance their way if it helped her progress but Retsu wasn't here to hold hands.

Her eye went up to look at the floating Nomu in the distance. There was more to deal with after all. That thing would be her next target, right after the Rumbling Golem was dealt with. She wouldn't mind some reinforcements herself to be honest, something told her firing a few grenades at it wasn't going to be enough do the trick.

TL;DR:
>>Retsu fires adhesive thermite grenades at the Rumbling Golem. One at each shoulder, three on his chest and one complete miss.
>>She then fires six bullets in the direction of the melee on top of the mushroom aiming to take out the clones. NOTE: Retsu isn't the best shot, it's entirely up to y'all if and what she hits.
>>Quietly hopes for reinforcements so she doesn't have to use up more of her limiter arsenal on the Rumbling Golem.
