''Chronokinesis? How scary. ~'' She muttered back into her communicator. She was thankful Iphi was here to back her up, but would it be enough? Sadako didn't excel in 1 on 1 combat, and she definitely didn't excel in fighting off more than one student at a time if more decided to join the fray. ''Shoot. Being a villain is never easy.'' She smirked as she witnessed his quirk activating. To say she was in trouble would be an understatement. If only Stronghold had bumped into Farrin first.

She could only watch as Farrin fired the two stun rounds into her leg. At this range it was too fast for her to outright dodge the rounds, but thankfully she had coated her limbs in chains beforehand, so she was able to mitigate a little bit of damage. That didn't mean it didn't hurt like hell though. ''R-Real heroes show mercy to their opponents.'' She grinned, trying to play a sympathy card. Not only because she was hoping he would let his guard down, but because actual villains might try that on him too. When Farrin yanked at her chain she simply let go with a shrug and an ''Oops!'' She had spotted Mai and hoped her colleague could sneak up on Farrin, but now that the jig was up she figured Mai could handle herself. She was still sticking to Iphi's words. Don't get too close to Farrin, and since she had just been shot in the leg too she was more than happy to stay put and prepare a counterattack.

When the explosion caused by SuperNova filled the air, Sadako used that as her cue to strike back. Conjuring up another chain, she wound it up for a bit of momentum before swinging it at Farrin's wrist, in an attempt to damage his equipment, and perhaps his ability to throw punches with that hand if she dared be so optimistic. More than anything, she wanted to put up a fight, but also wanted the students to do well, and she was having a hard time playing the role of the villain when all the students were making her so proud with their every move. Everything from successfully defending themselves, to selecting their targets carefully and communicating clearly even without devices. No one could fault her if she started tearing up later, right?

''Exactly, we can't be held accountable for that happening in the heat of the moment.'' She grinned cheekily, glad that they were on the same page. ''You got it! I've never restrained anything this big before, but I should be able to-... Wait, should I be taking cover?'' She looked over her shoulder back at Lone Wolf, but her attention was quickly drawn back to the beast as she dodged another attack in the nick of time. However, she could feel herself getting slower and slower. It didn't help that the beast's attacks were relentless and happening in such quick succession.

Eventually she took a couple of lashes, one to her leg and one to the midsection, causing her to stagger for just a moment, allowing the monster to grab her and lift her up into the air. ''A little help?'' She called out, struggling against the creature's grip. Her eyes widened when she noticed the propane tank, closing them just before Lone Wolf set it off and only opening them again after the explosion had dissipated. ''It's dying, definitely dying.'' She replied as the tendril dropped her and she only just managed to land on her feet. ''It'll bleed out... I think we're safe to leave it alone now.'' She grimaced, holding a hand over her stomach. ''That really hurt. Are you okay, Lone Wolf-san? We should head back to the car for now.''

She laughed at Mark's response. ''I think I get it.'' A woman so bad, like a devil in disguise? He really had a way with getting himself into trouble, didn't he? It wouldn't at all surprise her if some day stories about Lone Wolf being an absolute delinquent when he was younger began to surface. Nevertheless, she wasn't going to tease him any further. Maybe if their reason for being in a car together wasn't so urgent she would have, but she needed to switch gears and mentally prepare herself to save people and fight villainy once they reached Tokyo Bay.

''No need to unpack here. Maybe one day over coffee, or at the next barbeque?'' She talked to him while still keeping her eyes on the monsters in the distance. ''At first I didn't like you, Lone Wolf-san.'' A dislike born from ignorance, and her inability to understand how he could treat the students so roughly. ''But I think I more or less get your reasoning. We both want the same thing for the school in the end, we just go about it differently.'' She slowly began manifesting a chain out of her hand, using her quirk to essentially draw her weapon. ''Don't worry, by the way, that was ages ago.'' She smiled over at Lone Wolf. ''Now we've been colleagues for longer. I guess first impressions are hard, aren't they?'' She knew she didn't always make the best first impressions either. To make matters more complicated, Lone Wolf was raised in a culture that was completely separate from her own.

Sadako continued to pull against the tendril with all her strength, and once Lone Wolf so expertly sniped it out and weakened it, she yanked as hard as she could, ripping part of the tendril off and freeing the civilian in the process. She sprinted as fast as she could to catch the civilian before they hit the ground. ''You're safe now, evacuation is that way, just follow the road and try to lay low.'' She reassured the civilian, only having mere seconds with them before the beast went on the move towards her and Lone Wolf. ''Fertilizer?'' She asked as she dashed around a tendril that came for her. ''My quirk isn't great for fighting this thing and I assume we'd need a lot of fertilizer... Do you have any special rounds that are 'definitely legal to own'?'' She sure wouldn't mind setting fire to this thing with incendiary ammo or blasting it away with explosive ammo, but she didn't know what he had on hand.

''Oh, how cold. ~ Did she talk back to you like Iphigenia did?'' She giggled, finding the perfect opportunity to tease him. ''A personality like a demon? Only one hero comes to mind, but she looks more like a demon than she acts like one.'' Talking with Lone Wolf so casually made her realize how little they had actually interacted outside of work. She wasn't too surprised considering they were both busy people, but it was fun to get to know him even if it was a brief conversation heading into a chaotic job.

''I see.'' She let out a small sigh, shielding her eyes from the Sun with her hand as she looked out over the Bay. ''In many ways we serve opposite roles to the student body. Makes it fun to pick at your brain a bit. If I was in your shoes I think I'd go crazy.'' She held up a hand when he brought up guns. ''I can manage, I've never fired a gun before so I'd just get in your way.'' She quickly looked away from him again to take in their surroundings. Was someone already watching them? ''Ever the secret keeper, Lone Wolf-san.'' She turned back to smile at him. ''Don't worry I haven't seen a thing.'' Her attention was grabbed by the starfish off in the distance. ''Gross. I'll charge ahead, can you back me up with that thing?'' She pointed at his shotgun.

There was no time to stand around as a scream came from the direction of the starfish, a tendril having latched onto a civilian that it was slowly dragging through the air. Sadako immediately entered into a full sprint and manifested two chains in either of her hands, slinging them at the tendril in question to try and slow down the monster's pull, entering into a tug of war she couldn't win. Even with solid footing she wasn't exactly made of pure muscles. Hopefully this was where Lone Wolf could back her up?

''Yeah..'' She said, still catching her breath and glancing down at his golf club. ''I didn't interrupt anything, did I?'' She added with a smile. Was it normal for golfers to practice their swings in classrooms? She wasn't going to judge him for it. Every staff member working at UAU lead busy lives so maybe this was the only time he could get some practice in. She was about ready to take notes when the calm came in. Junsuina Kanjo would have to wait, when lives were on the line that had to take top priority.

''You do?'' She followed after Lone Wolf and got in the passenger seat next to him. ''Is that so? Monster attacks in Tokyo Bay? It's a popular place this time of year, who knows how many people could be in danger?'' She was already on auto pilot, sending texts around to some of her close hero colleagues. ''You had time to make bets? Was it with someone at the barbeque?'' Lone Wolf was an enigma to her. He seemed so unlike most heroes and yet you couldn't argue that he had earned the title.

She perked up when a message came in on her phone. ''I got a message from Masao Ando, she's one of the second year support students. She's in the process of helping Freja Helt and Ylva Riis evacuate.''

When they arrived at the scene absolute chaos awaited them. Screams, gunfire, sea monsters of all shapes and sizes and several housefires that were being contained with varying levels of success. Getting out of the car Sadako fastened her tie. ''Lone Wolf,'' Since they were officially on the go now she used his hero name. ''At a glance, how would you say this matches up to one of your gauntlets?'' She was both trying to lighten the mood, but also gauging whether any students that had been caught in this thing had a chance of making it out.
