Toshima Prefecture, Local Bar?, ??:?? pm
Ageru was faltering. Her arm shook as she swung it to and fro, trying to direct the swords like some kind of frenzied conductor for as long as she could. With her perception focused fully on trying to land her hits she'd utterly lost sight of the situation and her surroundings alike. The majority of her attack against Dark Shadow had missed and neither Gen nor Ylva were still where she'd aimed.
The sudden illumination caused by Jun blinded her, causing her to press her eyes shut for one crucial moment and leaving her completely open. The next time she opened her eyes would be her last.
When lightning struck Ageru let out a sharp scream as the shocks and subsequent muscle spasms agitated her broken bones even further. With her floating greatsword broken and her armor's integrity so reduced by Dark Shadow's first strike Ageru had little left to shield her from harm. Not nearly enough to let her stop Dark Shadow from grasping her once more.
"No..." Ageru rasped out through aftershocks. "Nooo... NOOOOOOOO!!!"
A shockwave blasted out along with her scream. It sent pieces of her battered armor flying out in all directions with her full might, wrenching Dark Shadow's grip open and nearly sending it flying. That proved to be her final mistake. As she staggered and started to topple the screw struck home, piercing her spine and causing even the last of her attempts to fail.
With blood spilling from her mouth Ageru went down.
Her body barely hit the ground before the trio found themselves back in the bar. They weren't alone. Along with them a veritable crowd of people had found themselves there. Some were dazed and confused, others eternally still and half mummified due to the lifeless air within the cavern that once laid beneath. Nor were the only people Ylva, Gen and Jun would recognize each other. For laying on her back with empty eyes staring at nothing was a figure that just moments before had been their enemy.
Ageru.
Before their eyes her long silverhair would fade to a black bob cut and her glowing pink eyes to a mundane brown. The changes did not end there. The scraps of her armor that laid scattered around her morphed into remnants of twisted steel, nylon upholstery and rubber while her arm snapped back into place and the hole in her torso closed. With a sharp intake of breath Ageru awoke once more, silent tears running down the side of her face as she laid there, conscious but motionless.
The door at the back of the bar was gone, its gleaming facade replaced by just another part of the decidedly normal back wall. Police cars and ambulances would arrive not much later, illuminating the inside of the bar with flashing lights and returning normalcy through the sound of sirens. The Concocter's reign of terror was over and soon the Nightmare would end entirely.
That, however, is tale for another time.
TL;DR:
Congratulations on your victory! The threat has been fought back, the missing people that survived returned to the world and the remains of those that didn't recovered. Jun, Ylva and Gen have withstood the trial and earned some well deserved rest.

Yoshiie tends to be calm, emotionless, and silent. His capacity to suppress his emotions enables him to make difficult decisions in an apathetic manner, although he may regret them in the future. It appears that he doesn't struggle with the decision. He has been shown to speak calmly to a victim until the moment when he pulls the trigger. The emotional backlash does not come crashing down until a little later. He essentially portrays the characteristic 'dead inside' appearance, exhibiting no extreme emotions such as anger.
Yoshiie exerts minimal effort to manage those in their vicinity. He prefers to do things himself and avoids using partners in any significant way. Yoshiie's default reaction to questions about his behavior is to ignore them, rather than impress upon them the value of his actions. He also makes minimal effort to assert himself, despite his disagreements with colleagues. He rationalizes away the significance of honor and ideals, asserting that war is simply war and nobility on the battlefield is merely an illusion. Heroes tend to obscure reality for individuals.

Yoshiie's appearance is marked by untamed black locks and deep-set, slender eyes. His complexion is light, and his build is lean. His usual expression is one of solemnity, with a hint of austerity and shrewdness. His wardrobe is consistently monochromatic, favoring a sleek black ensemble that includes a tailored suit, crisp tie, and a flowing trench coat. Memories of his youth evoke a different image: vibrant, wide eyes and skin bronzed from countless hours spent basking in the island sun where he grew up. However, life's harsh trials have dulled the once spirited expressions of his boyhood. Yet, in rare moments, a softness emerges on his visage, revealing a warmth reserved for those he holds dear. A habitual smoker, he is often pictured with a cigarette in hand.
[div][attr="class","body"][div][attr="class","header2"]HISTORY[/div]
Yoshiie was born to his parents, with his father being an assassin and his mother a mercenary that took on dirty jobs suspected to be from the government. He was born on December twenty-third 2050 near the end of advent of quirks, weighing in ten pounds nine ounces as a happy newborn. He grew up through the vigilante era as having enough of people running amok with their quirks. Civilians stood up and took matters in their own hands and then vigilantes were a thing as they continued, in time vigilante faded out and heroes become common. This was rougher for his parents, as the emergence of heroes weaken the need for their services as much as it used to be needed. They still got enough work and then their son age of having a quirk happened. They figured it would show up when he was ready, or it was already active, and they just don't know it. He as a five-year-old was taking hostage with his little school friend as a villain using them to escape the heroes pursuing them. it was her an early power of his quirk happen that reset his wounds. It was her his hate for fact heroes started as heroes and barley did anything as it was not going to help them get popular and get more contracts for their agency. He and his friend were released, lucky not to harmed due to this event. He swore he would, one day, he would make sure fake heroes would be dealt with by himself.
He grew up and spent time going to school with his buddy that was slightly traumatized by the villain. When he got home, he would play and spend time with his grandparents and parents when they home from a mission. When he turned six and his parents training him in some skills they had and wanted to pass it down to him. His life consisted of going to school hanging out with his friends and training with his parents. This continued to happen through out his life in school of training and having a social life, but his training with parents did start having effect on his personality making him more machine like. He trained and trained and getting taught more and more martial arts and advancing his skills level. He at the kinder age of fourteen he got his first kill which later effected him through he learned to get ovcer the backlash and regret of his actions he had chosen to go with. He grew up and trained his skills as he entered high school it been a few years into The advent of the extraordinary. He was a high school student got caught with the Meta Liberation Army and liked what they had to say and joined them. He went to high school and helped the meta liberation army during thier time. he kept his double life going going to school during day and at night killing goveremnt officals that the meta liberation army wants out of the way. He would also infiltrate goverment offices and take information to give to his emnployers.
He was able to gradurate him gradrurated stopped him from captured right away and he would then spend a few years in hiding. It was at the age of twenty-three that he was found. Like other liberation members, he was to be arrested but fought against it in a gunfight with officials that was going to arrest him for his crimes he did with the meta liberation army that lead to his death. He was taking to a cornor but before he could be cermated his quirk ticked and finally awaking to full power as his power triggered and at midnight his body disdinsed leaving nothing but his clothing where his body was. He awoken nude not remebering anything but what he knew at the age of twenty and then picked up his clothing and put them back on before planning his escape. He found a window broke it before using the glass shard and snuck up onto the coroner. He would after pressing sharp shard of glass against his throat he would force the coroner to escourt him out before running away. He using all his parents taught him he gathered information learning of meta lebersation army defeat after the leader and found a place to go before contacteing his parents to thier surprise beliving he was dead after the fire fight with police and heros. He then hang out and find a house that his parents used as a safe house and lived thier before going on to perfoming act of villianary and hurting heros he obsereved did not hold true view of a hero. He lived most life like this he saddly went to his parents funneral and then went to thier home and inheriented it through backdoor means. He continued to take on jobs from people from assassinations , bodygaurding to almost anything that a merc could be hired for and to this day.

[b]QUIRK NAME:[/b] bewitching hour.
[b]QUIRK RANK:[/b] A-
[b]QUIRK TYPE:[/b] Mutation
[b]QUIRK DESCRIPTION:[/b]
Yoshiie quirk is a combo of mutation and self emitter type that syncs him to an atomic clock that makes him no matter where he is or what his situation is (death, poisoned bleeding out or even if under effect of a quirk effect etc.), his power will trigger at midnight. Once it triggers, it resets Yoshiie physically, mentally and spiritually back to when he first turned twenty years old at optimum health (be in perfect health for a person of his age). This also resets his memories to that age, through he does retain his memories but only for certain things. The first is important relationships (friends, lovers etc) as he knows a person as a friend but how they meet or when and how long well be fuzzy as if the knowledge was deleted. The second would be like skills, knowledge obtained such as from schooling etc. that he learned, but like the first how he learned it and when would be fuzzy in details. The only exceptions are skills he had before or when he was twenty years old. This happens every time it hits midnight automatically, even if he does not wish it. This works because Yoshiie quirk synced him to his newly turned twenty years old self, and at midnight he will be automatically restored to that point.
[b]QUIRK DRAWBACKS:[/b]
[ul type="disc"][li]- Yoshiie does not choose what is reset, everything is reset[/li][li]- The time of reset is fixed, he can't change it[/li][li]- The quirk does not provide any mechanical benefits outside of the midnight reset.[/li][/ul][/div]

Toshima Prefecture, Local Bar?, ??:?? pm
Ageru's eyes widened when the shadow's slam came for her. The greatsword floating around her came up and blocked it with a clang that resounded like a gong. It strained against the strike for a second before sword and Ageru alike were swatted out of the air and into the floor with a loud crack, stone shattering beneath the impact.
"Ah... Ahaaa... Aaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Following her pained, panicked shout Ageru raised an arm straight up. Half the swords in the area flew up to pierce the shadow and force it away from her while she floated back upright, one arm bent awkwardly and her legs hanging limply beneath her.
Twitching eyes flicked between the place the bodies laid moments before and the moving targets all around.
"A-alive again?" Ageru gasped out between rasping breaths. Fear, hurt and rage overwhelming confusion almost instantly and with a wide swing of her functional arm swords flew at Jun, Ylva and Gen alike.
Nearly half of all the swords that hadn't been flung at the shadow -almost two dozen- haphazardly flew at Jun from all directions, threatening to turn her into a pincushion should she fail to dodge, parry or block them. More than a third shot point first towards Ylva from the direction of The Concocter, a precision strike aimed to remove the source of the threat, the force behind them more than enough to tear through a person entirely and keep going should they hit. Whereas that one was the needle the remainder of the swords flying towards Gen were akin to the hammer, several piercing and cutting through his barrier and should he fail to avoid or stop them him as well -albeit a good part of the force behind them was used to get through the walls- while the rest haphazardly struck the area around him, each with enough force to shatter stone and lodge their way deep into the floor.
Waving her arm around like a frenzied conductor Ageru did all she could to keep the shadow at bay and strike her assailants down before they could do the same to her. Whether it would be enough to assure her victory remained to be seen.
TL;DR:
The Concocter manages to tank the shadow's slam for a brief moment before being swatted out of the air. Sending more than half her arsenal up to pierce it and hold it off through sheer force Ageru floats back upright with one arm bent the wrong way and both legs hanging limply beneath her. She sends the rest of her swords out at all three combatants with no holds barred. The ones aimed at Jun seek to pierce her from all sides, the ones aimed at Ylva fly towards her like a spear thrust and the ones aimed at Gen strike the entire area he is in like a 'to whom it may concern'.

Ageru's eyes widened. Her mouth opened and closed like a fish, struggling to find words. Expression after expression danced across her face. Fear. Doubt. Wonder. Terror. Concern. Uncertainty. Resignation. Hope. One by one each of them flashed by so fast it could be mistaken for a trick of the mind. She swallowed.
"C-can I? Why hadn't I thought- No, it doesn't matter. I'll tr- There's no way I can- I'll do it. Maybe everything can... I will grant your wish."
Extending an arm to the side she opened her hand as if to grasp something. For a moment nothing happened. Then as if summoned an ornate goblet made of gold and glass flew from one of the nearby buildings and into Ageru's grasp. Holding the goblet in front of her she ran the index finger of her other hand across the rim just enough to open a thin cut. Then she raised it daintily, letting neon pink drops drip down into the cup as she turned her doe eyes on Junsuina.
"If- if this works. Can you," she gulped, her voice as brittle as the first ice in winter. "Can you stop me? Before... before all this happens? T-tell me to take her to a hospital. Please."
Ageru got quieter the longer she spoke, her voice trailing off the more the cup filled. Before long she fell silent entirely, waiting with baited breath.
Run a finger through a candle and there is a moment before you burn. Shove a man off a cliff and he registers, in that floating, wide-eyed split-second, the coming fall. There are little stillnesses before great horrors.
When Denchi Ageru let the last drop drip down into the cup every living creature within a mile of the bar felt a little stillness, deep in their hearts or perhaps their souls, something past thinking. A touch of the primordial.
Then the cup shattered and pink fog billowed out. An ocean of it, spilling out, so thick it blotted out the light. Ageru hacked and heaved, the sound echoing in the gloom. The wall of fog spread with such speed it swept over buildings like a tsunami, obscuring sight for but a few moments before it was past.
"It- No! It didn't work- Of course it didn't. Stupid, stupid stupid! There's no way it would ha- Gack!" Ageru raised her hand in front of her mouth as she heaved, red seeping through the cracks between her fingers. Her pupils trembled. The purplish chunk of steel floating around her sped up, angling itself to fend off any blows that may come her way. "No, no, no no. This can't- I'm sorry. I can't stop. I have to- This has to be- If not fixed- I- I'm sorry," her voice took on a mournful tone. "Th- the next group might succeed. It's way too late to stop! No one stops!"
The chalky dust all over the floor trembled like the beginning of an earthquake. It was far from the only movement. As the dust swept towards Ageru and was absorbed into her form swords all over the compound rattled ever harder and pulled free of their resting place entirely. They flew into the air, circling and spinning around a central point like planets around a star.
Ageru went up into the air as well, taking her place in the center as if lifted by the waist by two invisible fingers belonging to some eldritch god. The air around her was a storm of blades spinning fast enough to shred anything caught in their path.
"I'm sorry. Please die quickly. I really hate it when they scream."
The storm turned into a whirlwind, swords flying out in all directions before returning, trading coverage for range and breadth. Ageru's arms swept back and forth like those of a conductor, sending sword after sword flying at everything that moved without rhyme or reason. Who could possibly weather such a storm?
TL;DR:
After a plea to stop her once time is turned back Ageru grants Jun's wish. It fails, backfiring onto Ageru and causing her to lament as the wish granting fluid dissipates into a tsunami of fog that rapidly sweeps through the area. Absorbing all the chalky dust from the previous battles she causes a storm of blades to strike out at everything that moves, growing in intensity with every second that passes as she floats up to take her place in the center. Strike fast or die, the fight is on.

OOC: Welcome to Dream World Part 2! First of all thank you for signing up!! I'm so excited to tell this story with you all! Remember you have to post at least ONCE per round, but you can skip one round if you have to. A second skip will result in no tokens being given. There are going to be 8-10 rounds total and I will announce when we have reached the halfway point, as well as when we're nearing the end in our designated Dream World discord channel.
Remember to include a TL;DR at the end of your post! <3
Additionally, if you want to plan a cool character moment ahead of time, like making a heroic sacrifice or setting up a team attack, but want to keep it a surprise to the other people in the thread until it happens, feel free to sneak into my DMs so we can plan out the details! This is not mandatory, but I want to make sure every character shines and looks their best during this thread!
The next round will begin on 07/05/2024 @ 5pm PST
