To say that Jack wasn't exactly satisfied with the answer that he ended up getting would've been the understatement of the century.
He would glare back up Aika the moment his faulty apology left his lips. Tears flowing down his cheeks, the fire in his eyes still ignited all the same. "Save your damn apologies for when you go to Hell." he spat, sorrow and anger united in conveying just how much he meant that statement. As far as Jack was concerned, Aika even using that damnable tower made him just as guilty as the Elementalist was. Maybe even moreso, given he's just using their deaths to make his twisted fantasy a reality.
Maybe this was all just a ploy in the greater mastermind's greater plans. Be that the Elementalist, or someone even worse than that. The thought crossed Jack's mind for a split second, before having to shove it aside for later. Once he was more back to his senses, he would definitely have to make some moves if that was true.
Nonetheless, Jack's eyes narrowed at Aika's seeming refusal to revert or at the least turn off his Quirk for the moment. At least he got half-confirmation that Opal and Lapis were fine - his answer made it seem like he didn't even actually touch them at all. What were the versions that appeared to him before, then? An apparition of his mind in an attempt to calm him down? At the least, the confirmation seemed to let Jack untense somewhat, the fox boy leaning back down as he would rub his temples, just trying to breathe through the sheer panic that was starting to slowly die back down as he focused himself.
Was kinda hard to do that with all the basic screaming in his head. Even moreso when Retsu decided to open her fat mouth again.
Jack would slightly glare at Retsu as she would begin to chide him again, obviously not knowing even remotely what it was he was on about. "Not that you would care, but it wasn't me that murdered them. The Elementalist, the 'Tortured'. Any of that ring any bells?" he asked. Surely even a low-life villain would have at least had access to the news during that whole event. Especially given the basic spectacle Jack had to put on to put the damn thing down. Even if he still regretted how things turned out, deep down.
Shaking his head, Jack would slowly start to stand. Admittedly, he took a bit of what Retsu said to heart, knowing that he can't just fall down, despite the roaring fear and anger in his mind and body. He dealt with worse, he had to remember that. It was just hard to focus with how fast everything was happening, how completely unprepared he was.
Maybe that was his problem.
He took a deep breath, taking a couple of minutes to compose himself, looking a bit in a meditative state. Trying to just empty himself, even if just for a moment. Flashes of those he cared about - friends, family, Opal and Lapis - zoomed through his mind, at least giving him an anchor just for a moment. Another deep breath, and he opened his eyes.
Let's just get this over with.
Following the others without even a word more, Jack would eye the giant cake in front of them. Seeing the others dig in, he pursed his lips for a second. Not like he had much of a choice at this point. Luckily, at least he already had a big enough appetite as it was.
Cracking his knuckles, and eyeing that Retsu went for the top while Noa went for the bottom, Jack would eye the middle of the cake, his eyes suddenly sharpening, like he was looking at prey. With a leap and a bound, Jack would hop onto the table, to the opposite side of either of them, and start tearing into the middle like a mad man, trying to use up as much energy as he really could while simultaniously getting refilled because of the cake.
....Cheesecake was a million times better than this. That much was certain.
Tl;Dr
-Told Aika to save his apologies for when he goes to Hell. -At the least relieved Opal and Lapis seemed to be fine, though lamented being stuck with his Quirk on for the moment. -Flatly reminded Retsu about the Tortured, considering how things played out it likely would have been on the news. -Took what she was saying to heart nonetheless, taking a couple of minutes to meditate and at least regain himself a little. -Would tear into the middle of the cake while Retsu and Noa took the top and bottom.

Jack smirked confidently in response to Bakuretsu's ramblings. Sheesh, she really did know how to come off as a complete psychopath, huh? Then again, half of the villains nowadays acted like that anyways. The whole 'I'm gonna rip society out by the roots' and the like. Even if it meant killing people like flies, completely disregarding the fact that every person outside of their life mattered, too. Then again, kind of hard to be too surprised when you see it so often.
Kind of the reasons Heroes are a thing, in hindsight.
Nonetheless, it looked like the villain played right into Jack's initial taunt, her attention entirely on him now. His smirk grew even more as she would end up asking if he had ever accomplished anything in his life, before pointing her gun right at him. His sharp eyes widened slightly, moving immediately the moment she fired her shot. He would slightly move to the side, dodging the shot and shooting one hand forward, a mechanical tentacle would quickly shooting out and wrapping around the unconscious Springboard, yanking him towards the small hero.
With his free hand, Jack would point a couple of fingers towards the villain, shooting off a small, condensed blast of Chaos Energy towards her! Should it connect, it would send her a respectable distance away - probably a block away if he was lucky. Nonetheless, he just needed her distracted for just a few seconds longer as he would grab the downed sidekick and quickly make a break for cover, making use of a nearby building as he quickly darted around the corner.
Setting Springboard down, Jack would very quickly start smacking the ever-living shit out of him rapidly! "Wakeupwakeupwakeupwakeupwakeup!" he said, even shaking him a little bit to hopefully expedite the process. Assuming he would wake up, Jack would put a couple of fingers up to his ear as he would report back. "Springboard has been secured, send in a rescue squad stat!"
"Already a few steps ahead of you. Evac Squad and paramedics are inbound. Just a small problem of Bakuretsu still being in the area-" the operative responded, Jack quickly cutting him off. "Leave 'er to me. Best case, could be our shot to bring the bitch in. Worst case, well...let's not think of that!" he chirped, already determined to at least get the villainess out of the area. "As long as you don't get anyone but yourself blown up, fine with me. Paramedics inbound to your coordinates." "Thanks, Bantis. Love you too." Jack responded coyly, before glaring back at Springboard.
"For your own sake, Springboard, stay down and wait for help. Felt like you broke at least a couple of ribs acting like an idiot. What, you thought engaging a villain - much less Bakuretsu, the literal fucking explosive expert - in the middle of a fucking store was a good idea?!" he snarled, his eye twitching at the sidekick's stupidity. Honestly, if anyone got killed as a result of his initial conflict he would probably personally make sure that not only him but his superior officer got a good bit of hell from him.
Cracking his neck from side to side, Jack would pounce back out to where he was before, cautiously approaching further to see where Bakuretsu was. "What was that about not accomplishing anything again? 'Cuz it looks like you suck at being a villain to me!" he said, on guard, but making a show of holding his fingers like a handgun. "Ya ain't the only one who can shoot either, so ya ain't original either!"

Jack would grit his teeth in response to Aika's denial of most of he was saying. "You quite literally dragged us into a world of your own making against our wills! If that isn't a fuckin' God-complex then what the hell is?!" he snapped, his anger somehow boiling over even more, his heart beating in his ears. Every fiber in his body wanted to rant and rave about how he was wrong about everything, how the noise and the quite literal chaos of life was what made things worth living. Yeah, life was a mess. It had been since the literal moment of creation. But that was part of the deal, part of the challenge of finding your own way in life!
Quite honestly, he'd argue that was the very meaning of Chaos in of itself.
However, he couldn't find his words as his anger started to take over. Everything this guy was saying was pissing him off, even moreso after the realization that his pets were gone. He just about lunged at Aika, before a wall of fire would roar in between the two. The slightest bit of sense that still remained in Jack quickly backed away, knowing the limits of Kupo's Quirk and fire not exactly being his friend. That murderous glare that was aimed at Aika would quickly shoot towards Noa, sharp teeth bared at her like a wild animal.
"STAY OUT OF THIS! YOU DON'T GET ANY OF WHAT I'M DEALING WITH!! THIS HAS BEEN PERSONAL FROM THE FUCKING START! THAT TOWER - THAT DAMN TOWER, I WAS THERE! THAT TOWER IS-" he stopped himself, freezing immediately in place, almost like a bullet just pierced his skull. His face dropped any sort of malice, regret filling his eyes as he dropped to his knees.
"...That tower is MY fault. If I had been faster, if I had reacted before...before all of those people..." he shook his head as his fell on his hands, tears starting to fall from his eyes. He remembered everything so vividly - the moment the Tortured's pod crashed, all the stupid people that had surrounded it and got slaughtered. The intense fight that followed, and ending with the Tortured's main victim dying in Jack's arms, fading into nothing.
He thought about that day almost every day. How angry he was at the Elementalist, and how angry he was at himself. "Damn it...DAMN IT!!! I CAN'T FUCKING THINK!!!" he wailed, clutching his head, shaking violently. All of these feelings were never this intense, never this painful, even before. This entire time, he had been filled with nothing but anger and fear like never before, but he never thought about the reason until now. This Quirk, Kupo's Quirk...it wasn't reacting well with him at all. How did Jason ever deal with this??
Glaring back at Retsu as she again tried to reason - and subsequentially threaten - him, Jack said nothing in response, the internal battle he was fighting clearly obvious. It was like trying to find himself in a tidal wave of blood red anger - it was almost impossible. And yet, a single sliver of himself still hung on. They were both right, of course - he knew that. And yet, this stupid Quirk was denying himself almost every sense of reason he had.
Almost.
"YOU!" he snapped, glaring back at Aika. "GET THIS DAMN QUIRK OFF OF ME! SHUT IT OFF! ALRIGHT?! I'LL BEHAVE IF YOU GET THIS SHIT OFF! AND FUCKING PROMISE ME MY PETS ARE FINE!" Those were his demands, not even caring in that moment if he was Quirkless or not. He needed to regain control of himself, or risk everything even more than he already had.
Tl;dr -Thought most of Aika's response was absolute bs. -Would snap at Noa to stay out of his business, breaking down in the process. -Revealed how he blamed himself for the tower the Tortured created, and everyone who died as a result of it. -Listened to Retsu's threat and didn't respond, still overcome with grief and anger. -Realized it was Kupo's Quirk that was making him act so out of character. -Told Aika he would behave if he at least shut Kupo's Quirk off and guaranteed his pets' safety.

Jack's eyes narrowed at Noa's response. Quite frankly, he wasn't exactly worried about either Retsu nor her - if anything, he figured that the both of them could handle themselves in a worst-case scenario. Even so, it was clear her response it strike a bit of a nerve with him, though his eyes still burned with that prideful look. "Considering it's my pride that let me live to begin with, and knowing that the two of you can handle yourselves, I'm not all that concerned in that regard, no. Especially given where we are." he said flatly, leaving that thought open as she would walk away from him. If he was right in his thoughts, Aika would only have as much control as the trio would let him have - meaning defiance, no matter how much he tried to hurt them, was arguably their best option. Especially given the alternative.
Nonetheless, his defiance would bring the ire of their host, as expected. His little goat form would give way to the man that was keeping them here himself. Despite the absolute size difference between them, all Jack would do is smirk at him as Aika would go on about everything he was doing wrong. Music to his ears, if he had to be honest. "Pot, meet kettle. I dunno about you, but the only person I think I'm actually better than is right in front of me. Well, and the psychopath over there, but then you two are in the same boat anyway. You're just the one with a bigger head at the moment."
As they would walk, Aika would reveal Noa and Retsu's prize - an all you can eat buffet. Oh, brother. Jack rubbed his temples at the sheer stupidity of it, especially as Aika would tell Jack he couldn't have anything. He can't lie, the smell alone was intoxicating. He just had enough common sense to also smell the bullshit from a mile away. It also looked like Retsu had the same thought as him, making a comment to Noa about Persephone, which basically summed up Jack's thoughts on the matter as well.
Ignoring the little fair there, Jack would turn back to Aika. "Remember what I said earlier, about not pretending to know exactly who I am? Do you know what I was doing before all of this? I was given a presentation at that very petting zoo we were just at about Quirked animals. Not because of some bullshit obligation or whatever, but because I wanted to. You're claiming that you wanna make a place where people can do whatever, and yet I already live that kind of life in reality. And if that were true, you'd let me cause as much damage to this place as I want, no judgement, right? Face it, bub. You're a narcissist with a God-complex in charity-mens' clothing. Nothing more."
With that, Jack would turn away from him, facing Retsu as she would come up to him. His face scrunched a little bit at her greeting, commenting "Bad pun.". Nonetheless, he would hear her out, surprised that she was being reasonable about the whole matter. "I get that, but I think you're both missing a massive point here. A few, actually. The biggest here being that should we submit, should we let him do his thing, that A: we're going off the assumption that he'll even let us go, which given a psychopath like him is unlikely to begin with, and B: that he'll try to do this again. I'm sure you remember well enough, but I don't exactly give villains what they want, regardless of what they threaten."
Jack was about to put his money where his mouth was pretty quick as Retsu would then try to motion towards Opal and Lapis. He would look over to his side at them, but then blink when he saw nothing. He looked around himself frantically, his breath starting to get faster. Where were they?! They were just there a moment ago, weren't they?! Where are his babies, his family?! Who-
Jack's blood suddenly went cold as he would slowly start to look back at Aika. The look in his eyes would have been able to cut through solid steel, the sudden silence being thick enough to be poked with a needle. "...Where are my pets?" he asked, his tone hushed as he would start to approach Aika. His teeth bared, claws quickly coming out of his fingers, Jack would suddenly lunge at Aika, aiming to get right in his face as his feet claws would dig right into his chest, his hand raised as he would prepare to slash at him if he didn't give him a good answer. "WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY?! ANSWER ME, YOU CHERRY TOMATO LOOKING FUCK?!?!"
Tl;dr -Jack would comment back at Noa that wasn't particularly concerned, given worst case he figured they could handle themselves. -Would fire back at Aika, noting his complete hypocrisy on the matter, saying the only people there he thought he was better than were him and Retsu. -Shared Retsu's general thoughts on the 'reward'. -Continued to bash Aika, calling out that Jack himself already lives his life without judgement, and were his statements true he shouldn't have a problem with Jack's attitude. -Would bring up his thought process to Retsu, pointing out that defiance could very easily be their ticket out of here rather than trusting Aika on his word. -Looked around frantically for Opal and Lapis, realizing they're gone. -Lunged at Aika, ready to outright attack him as he demanded to know where they went. Depending on his answer, things were probably about to get messy.

"Oh, for the love of God please just shut up already..."
Jack grumbled in annoyance, the man's preaching about the whole 'choice made of love' nonsense getting to him. Yeah, no shit, Sherlock. When you literally bring his damn pets into this dreamscape what did he expect? Hell, that by itself started to anger Jack more as he thought about it. What about the rest of these animals, too? All just minding their business, all just going about their day just for this clown to bring them into his game.
Sickening. Every last bit of it.
This feeling intensified as their 'host' would go on to explain what their next activity was. A...A what? A talent show? For a fake audience??? Jack's eye started to twitch violently at the lunacy of it all. Even moreso at the prospect of both Noa and Retsu just being on board with it, the animals even talking back to them. He looked around himself, really just taking in the Dream World for the first time since he got here. This perverted sense of reality, this charade... Jack grit his teeth in response, but said nothing yet. This was all so, so wrong. Every fiber in his body felt sick.
He would look to both Opal and Lapis, raising an eyebrow at them. "...Speak." he said, curiosity getting the better of him. "Hai hai!" "Please don't do anything stupid." Jack's eyes narrowed at them, snorting just a little bit in amusement. Yeah, they talked, but it was definitely them. "Since when do I do anything like that?" he joked back, a bit of a malicious grin starting to form on his face.
This aside, he would watch Retsu's and Noa's performances with a frown. Watching Retsu parade around with a damnable goose, then watching Noa ride around on a magical-looking pony. Jack clutched his hands, enough to the point where even blood started to drip. Even moreso when the 'audience' would start to praise them for their performances. He almost lost himself in his thoughts before the realization that his turn was up.
"I REFUSE!!!"
Jack's bellow would sound all around the area, like it didn't just come from someone the size of a preschooler. Gritting his fangs, shaking with anger, he would glare at both Retsu and Noa. "Look at yourselves! You, the 'great' Bakuretsu, lowering yourself down to doing showtunes and acting like a damn ballerina! How're you going to make the world bow down when you can barely take yourself seriously at the first sign that you weren't in control?! I thought you were pathetic enough before, but even you have to see the lunacy in this!!! And you!" he snapped, looking at Noa, though he paused after a moment, his expression softening a little.
"...Okay, I don't really know you that well so I really can't give you too much grief here. But c'mon, you're a UAU student, just like me! Have some pride in yourself rather than kowtowing at someone like this!" he exclaimed, shaking his head before looking up at the sky. "And let's not forget our 'benevolent' host here! Making us act like his playthings for his own damn amusement! Acting as if he's a god, just because he managed to piggyback off someone and catch everyone off guard!"
Snarling at the sky, a fire even hot that Retsu's quirk blazing in his eyes, he continued. "I don't care how many times you put me back to play your stupid games, it won't change a damn thing! I refuse to be someone else's fucking toy! You may have invaded my mind and altered my body, but there's one thing an Orion always keeps! HIS PRIDE!!!" he shouted, standing defiantly still. "You got that, you self-inflated egotistical freak?!"
Tl;Dr -Getting more annoyed at Aika's rambling, telling him to shut up -Realizing what it was he wanted them to do, Jack started to actually become aware of the situation they're in. -Thought about the fact that even animals were brought into this twisted game. -Tested both Opal's and Lapis's attitudes, at least relieved and infuriated that it's actually them. -Watched Noa's and Retsu's performances with disgust. -Called out the both of them for kowtowing to Aika, though was a little softer with Noa due to the fact he didn't know her that well. -Exclaimed he refused to take any more part in this, keeping his pride despite everything.

Jack frowned for a moment, his body starting to untense a little bit as the mastermind spoke in his head. Judging by Retsu's own response, it looked like he gave them all some sort of half-assed comment. His adrenaline starting to die down, Jack would take a deep breath, letting himself relax a little bit. All that talk from someone like this clown... A low chuckle and a shake of the head would show more than enough of how the fox boy felt about that comment, but he always was one not to beat around the bush about things. "Shit, you really are just an idiot, ain't ya? All that talk, all that dragging people into your little game...and yet."He would swipe at the bubble around him, figuring now would be the time to be rid of it. As he would start to walk towards the next area, his more trademark smirk would form on his features. He was starting to get a clearer picture of what this guy was about, and needless to say, he was just disappointed at best. "'I want you to realize your own potential'. Spare me the sanctimonious bullshit. If I wanted to be better than either Retsu or Noa, I would show that to them. Hell, Retsu I kinda already did. But you? You're nothing but another wannabe big shot villain, same as the rest of them. Congratulations, you used the results of another villain's stunt to pull off your bull. What, am I supposed to be impressed? Learn the deeper meaning of dreams or whatever it is you're trying to pull?"He shook his head, chuckling again. "You don't even know the first thing about me, pal. Don't even bother pretending."With that, he would move on, his confidence slowly returning. He got caught off guard between the whole dream world and Quirk swapping nonsense. He would snatch the fireball token that would spawn in front of him, squinting a bit at it before shrugging it off for now and striding forwards. He was getting a hang of everything now - nothing was going to stop him. At least, that was what he thought. Then he realized where he was. He basically ignored a lot of what Aika was saying for the most part, remembering that this was where he was before everyone got pulled into the Dream World. He was holding a bit of a presentation about Quirked animals, explaining how they tend to differ a lot from Quirked humans and such...using Opal and Lapis as examples. It wouldn't be long before he would spot them, luckily at least still together. He would give them a low whistle, clapping to get their attention. "Opal! Lapis! It's okay, I'm here!" he called to them. Opal would whine and yip at Jack as she ran towards him as fast as her stubby legs would take her. Lapis, ever the calmer of the two, approached him with a bit of caution, recognizing the voice but looking him up and down, taking in the new appearance. What, was this another Kupo, the lynx thought? A quick sniff later, and Lapis would quickly start licking at Jack's face and hair, purring loudly. Jack laughed happily, at least glad to see that his beloved pets were safe. Overhearing some of Retsu's stuff, he would raise an eyebrow up at the sky. "I pick these two. If you got a problem with that, come down here and say it to my face." he challenged, more than willing to fight this guy over these two.
Tl;Dr -Laughed at Aika's comments, calming down and challenging his viewpoints and viewing him as another wannabe big shot. -Snatched the fireball token, starting to come back to his senses after all the shocks thus far. -Realized they were at the petting zoo, remembering where he was before everything went down. -Found Opal and Lapis, comforting them and choosing the both of them as his companions. -Challenged Aika to contest his pick of two animals instead of one, more than ready to fight him over it.

"I swear to God, when I get my hands on you..."
Jack swore quietly at the mastermind's curt tone towards his reluctance. 'Gee, I wonder what would happen if I just dragged people into a literal dreamscape and make them play my stupid games! I'm sure THAT would just go lovely!' Bah. In any case, he decided to bite his tongue for the moment. But if this guy thought that Jack would just take that hands down without doing things his way, they had another thing coming. He plays by HIS rules, no one else's. Certainly not some halfwit that thought this would end well.
Nonetheless, he would glance back at Retsu as she asked him if she knew him. His trademark grin crept back onto his face, giving her a look. "What, I get a bit of a fox makeover and suddenly ya don't remember the last guy who kicked your sorry ass before you pussied off like a coward?" he said, knowing in the back of his mind that the fight was more than on equal footing - though he loved giving pieces of shit like her a hard time anyway. Made things more fun, at least for him.
Then, that would just be the point, wouldn't it?
Anyways, with that little remark Jack would shoot forwards towards the middle route. "Yo, brown-hair! Race ya to the finish line!" he taunted at Noa, at least trying to stay upbeat despite being royally pissed off. He didn't really know her that well, but at least it was better than acting like strangers, yeah?
As he bounded towards the middle path by jumping against his bubble, Jack would eye the coins that they kept passing by. Were they supposed to collect those? His eyes narrowed for a second. Was the ringleader here treating this like it's a video game? He pushed that thought to the side as he would start paying attention. There birds and flying heads floating around, all aimed at Jack's little bubble. Maybe it was just the Dream World giving him Kupo's instincts with his Quirk, but Jack could already feel his body responding naturally to the threats around him.
The fox boy would aim his bubble downwards, ducking under all the projectiles heading his way. He could see Retsu going haywire with all of her fireballs. Sheesh, and he thought she was crazy before the Quirk. He then directed himself onwards, not getting too distracted by all of the shiny coins, focusing solely on getting to the end first. No time for dilly-dallying, after all.
As a result, getting past the obstacles wasn't too hard. He had to make a mental note NOT to lunge at them and eat them, but skirting around them at the speeds he was going was more than a cakewalk, along with the weird floating heads shooting fireballs at him. He jumped and dove, bobbed and weaved, as if his body moved on it's own. Something about Kupo's Quirk...it was definitely stirring something up inside the once-dragon. A wild grin formed on Jack's features, letting his instinct take full reign for the first time in his life.
Bouncing to and fro, it would become apparent that he basically blew the other two out of the water if this were a race. Bounding towards the platform, he would let out a high-pitched howl, his tail shaking wildly. "HOW YA LIKE THAT, YA FUCKIN' WANNABE GOD! MEET ME IN PERSON AND I CAN SHOW YA WHAT I CAN REALLY DO!" he howled, grinning wildly at the sky. Presumably speaking, trying to touch or redirect Jack's attention would probably not have one of the greatest experiences at the moment. He was jittery, like he was suddenly an energy ball waiting to explode.
Tl;Dr -Grumbled to himself towards Aika's dismissive reply. -Taunted Retsu more, recalling he was probably the most recent opponent she had. -Playfully taunted Noa with a race, at least not wanting to act like strangers towards a fellow student. -Questioned how Aika was viewing this whole experience. -Through letting his instincts take over, leapt and bound through the middle path, not paying much attention to the coins. -Reaching first, Jack would howl towards Aika, goading him into actually fighting him. -Seemed a little wild at the moment.

Jack's eye lightly twitched a bit at the mastermind's pretty dismissive answer at his outrage. "Aight, so what if I don't wanna fuckin' play then, jackass?! What, you think you can just *drag* people in here, switch their damn Quirks around like it's Yahtzee and expect us to be *fine* with it? I don't got my regular Quirk but YOU BEST HOPE I DON'T GET MY CLAWS ON YOU WHEN I SEE YOU!" he snapped, fur standing upright all over his body, the fox boy quite literally shaking in anger. At least Kupo's high pitched voice didn't seem to carry over, even it it seemed a little weird. God, he was praying his cousin was ok and not currently blowing himself up. Instinct would at least help with Quirk Control, right? Nonetheless, it seemed like he had to play along, at least for now. Glaring back at Retsu's threats, at least her complete dumbassery cheering him up just a little bit. "Yeah, cuz tryin' to kill me worked so well the first time, yeah? Wonder if the little dream world dude knows how to kick up some tunes like last time," he retorted, looking up and down at his bubble, still trying to figure out how it worked. Poking at it a little bit, he quickly realized that at least his claws, or maybe even just his Quirk in general wouldn't pop the thing. Makes a little bit of sense, given it's seemingly a literal dream world, but still wack. Backing up a little bit, he would lunge forward, making the bubble shoot forward like a rocket! "WEWWWW!!! OK, LITTLE COOL, CAN'T LIE!" he cheered, his tune suddenly seeming to flip a 180, mainly just due to the adrenaline of the situation. ...Can you get adrenaline in a dream? Eh, probably.
Tl;dr -Snaps back at the Mastermind, basically telling him he didn't really want to play along. -Retorted at Retsu's threat. -Clearly having no other choice, tested the bubble. -Realizing it's durability, would lunge forward, making the bubble launch forwards into the air. -Cheered a little bit, the adrenaline at least getting him excited and more cheerful for the moment.

Ugh...where am I...?
Jack groaned a little bit as he sat up in a stupor. Rubbing his head and his eyes, but feeling a weird texture on his face as he did so. He blinked, looking at his hands and seeing...skin. Not even just that, but white, fluffy fur and black pads, not dissimilar to what you would see on a fox or a dog. Bright blue claws were still there, but...what happened???
He stood up, feeling himself up and down. More white, fluffy fur covered him in certain areas, and instead of human ears now were more pointed, foxy ears on the top of his still fluffy hair. Swishing his tail around would also reveal it to be, shocker, also a fluffy fox tail. And...oh, DAMMIT. He was even shorter than before! What the hell?!
Wait. Was this- THIS WAS JASON'S QUIRK?! WHAT?! What the hell even happened?! Where was Jason?! Hell, where was HE?! Was Jason okay? Shit, did he have Jack's Quirk? What even was all of this?! He had to get out of here, had to find his cousin! Hearing a voice from above, explaining everything that was going on, Jack would reply with a curt snarl, looking up at the sky in anger. "CUT THE BULLSHIT! WHERE IS MY COUSIN, ASSHOLE?! I WANT OUT, NOW!" he exclaimed, outrage and confusion fueling him as he would bear his fangs and claws. At least he still had those to claw the culprit's face off.
However, all he would be met with was a map, and a bubble appearing in front of him and the other people with him. Speaking of, he would only really notice them now, all things considered. One of them he vaguely recognized - probably another student from UAU. The other - oh, GOD DAMMIT. Her hair was longer, but he would recognize Bakuretsu's ugly mug anywhere. He said nothing as she would spew how they would have to work together, taking a more defensive stance for a moment. He would regain his composure after a second, a grin forming on his face.
"Ah, yes, let's work with the psychopath with a sparkly new Quirk. Talk about a bad hair day, right Betsu?" he goaded, his tone probably giving away who he was pretty quickly. He had no intention of using his new appearance to hide, especially from this coward in villain's clothing.
Nonetheless, she unfortunately had a point. It didn't seem like they had a choice in the matter, anyway. Stepping into the bubble, he would glare at his enemy, grinning maliciously at her threat. "Pretty sure that would just fuck you over more than ever, wouldn't it?" he said, before turning to the other person in their group. "Let's be careful. Can't be too sure what's going to be waiting for us, yeah?"

If Jack had a nickel for every time he was basically the only hero around when a major threat was on the scene, he would have two nickels. Which wasn't a lot, but ya gotta admit that's weird, right?? Granted, since the last time something like this happened, among other particular life developments, Jack finally decided to bite the bullet and take the Provisional Licensing Exams. Considering he often found himself in trouble more than he goes out looking for it, he felt it was the best call to at least be allowed to handle situations properly rather than having to skate around and pray it was enough to not get him in trouble. And, hey, at least it paid off, considering where he's at now. Officially speaking, to the public now he's Sirius, Brightest Star in the Night Sky...and to some people kind of a wild card, considering the destructive nature of his Quirk. Out on patrol, Jack stood on top of a building, mainly listening to the police and hero channels on his earpiece and giving updates as needed. For the most part, a quiet day with not a lot happening. Taking a deep breath and scoping out the general landscape, he couldn't help but at least feel nice being a bit of a guardian for his sector. Watching over those who were just going about their weekend, living life calmly. That was, until the sounds of multiple explosions going off near a supermarket not far from where he was. Multiple people screaming in his earpiece trying to figure out what was going on, until he finally got a name through all the ruckus. Bakuretsu. Jack blinked in surprise, already running and launching himself into the sky with his tentacle whips, gliding towards the scene as fast as he could. Of all the people...it had to be the one who was known for her threats and literal murdering of a Pro. Gritting his teeth, knowing that he was the only one who happened to be around at this time of day, save a couple of other small timers like himself. "PLEASE don't tell me you're going in there, Sirius,"His earpiece rang with the voice of one of the operatives responsible for keeping other Heroes in the loop. A particularly sassy one, at that, but Jack appreciated the banter all the same. "Nah, lemme wait like 20 minutes for the nearest Pro to get here, Bantis. You got any better ideas?" "Other than not risking yourself against fucking Bakurestu? A few, yeah," the operator snapped back, Jack rolling his eyes in response. "What's the scene looking like?" he asked, ignoring the annoyed tone. "It looks like Springboard engaged her the moment they made eye contact. At least seven bombs gone off, but no major casualties. Springboard looks like he's in a tight spot, though, and the people are basically trapped inside and probably scared out of their minds." "Ah, so a casual Saturday, then," Jack quipped, already starting to get a bit of a game plan going in his head as he quickly neared the scene. "Wish me luck." "You're probably gonna need more than that, Orion."Now Playing: U Won't 4Get MeSmirking a bit at that, the young hero would land in on the scene, just in the nick of time by the looks of it. An unconscious sidekick, with a purple-haired edgelord sticking a gun right towards them. Walking towards them calming, a stern look in his eyes but a confident smirk on his face as the villain would yell at him to piss off. Looking around at the scene, Jack would just smirk at her. "Ya mean besides the absolute mess ya made of the place? I mean, sheesh. I get villains tend to be destructive and all, but this is a bit much, dontcha think?" he replied calmly, smirking as he kept his eyes locked on her. However, his mind was mainly towards getting Springboard out of the way first. "Kinda amazed someone like you is even out in the open like this as it is. What, they don't got, like, an underground market for criminals or somethin'? Kinda a dumb move for you to even be here if ya ask me." At the very least, he needed to get her attention solely on him so he can disarm her for a moment. Then it's just a matter of getting her away from the area. ...One of the most notorious villains currently on Japan's Wanted list. Yeah. Totally a cake walk. Totally.

Well, at least that seemed to work out. He could tell the guy was a ticking timebomb - honestly, it seemed almost familiar. Mud-like Quirk, abrasive personality...Jack's eyes narrowed just a little bit, trying to place the memory from somewhere. Definitely didn't meet the guy before, so...eh. He'll place it, he was sure. A simple smirk at the guy's remark of kicking his butt, and as far as he was concerned the 'argument' was over.
Nonetheless, the guy's attention was off him, and onto the girl beside him. His eyes narrowed again as the mud-for-brains realized Zaya didn't like him very much. Yeah, no shit, Sherlock, he thought, considering the whole situation they were currently in. However, he raised an eyebrow at his remark about joining a team. Was that what this all was about? What a buncha baloney. Still, he held his tongue to at least avoid having to fight the dude. Unlike him, Jack was actually wary about using his Quirk in public. The guy would finally end up leaving, Jack once again leaning back against the tree, snorting a bit. "Sheesh. Talk about some hot mud, amirite?" he joked, smirking at Zaya as she would thank him. "Bahhh, don't mention it. Could tell the guy was buggin' ya, and who am I not to help a person in need? Kinda the point of going to UAU and all, yeah?" he said dismissively. However, her comment on their parents being on the same hero team caught his attention.
Finally putting the pieces together, Jack would snap his fingers, like a lightbulb just went off in his head. "Ahh...that explains a LOT. Papa mentioned having to work with a team with a guy like that once or twice. The...Thunderbolts, yeah?" he inquired, raising an eyebrow at her. "Not like you need a team for anything other than feeling the need to have someone get your ass outta hot water if you mess up. 'Slong as you got a clear head, you should be fine."
With that, though, Zaya would inquire about his guitar, asking him if he played a lot. "Occasionally. I stopped for a bit after getting into UAU. But, well...since the Elementalist attacks, it's been a help to keep my mind off things. I was basically a front-liner on the robotic attack - but, y'know. It was a lot," he replied, looking away for a second, a frown on his face. An open book, he was. Didn't always mean that was a good thing, though.
"But, ah...kinda rude of me, in hindsight. Name's Jack. Jack Orion," he said, turning back to his chirpy self. The last name may ring a bell or two, depending on if Zaya knew anything about his family. Including the fact that both of his parents were more solo acts with an agency, anyway.

Hurtling towards the bomb at a speed many could only dream of reaching, Jack only had a split second to pray that this would actually end up working out. He didn't really care if he got hurt in the process - his instinct was to help and protect people, even at the cost of his own wellbeing. Kind of a self-destructive behavior, in hindsight. Even so, in a real situation he would probably do something like this again, especially if people were in legitimate danger.
Luckily for him, this wasn't an actual situation. Kind of what he was counting on.
As he collided with the bomb, Jack would feel the heat of the explosion across his skin and scales, the force of the blast about to completely send him flying and probably leave him in a state not dissimilar to how he ended up against the Tortured. However, in a split second, a blue light would fill his vision, and suddenly he would find himself rolling towards a tree at the bottom of the mountain. The loud sound of leaves shaking would probably attract the attention of people, as Jack would lay on the ground, groaning a little bit.
However, that groan would slowly start to turn into laughter, loud enough for everyone in the arena to hear. "Pffff...BAHAHAAHAHA!!! IT WORKED! I KNEW IT!" he cheered, standing up slowly as dusting himself off. Hearing the lame insult from Gen, he would grin up at their general direction. "What, did ya think they would actually let a student blow up?! Boulders hitting people and causing some damage, maybe. But that? HA! HAHAHAHA! GET F***ED, MANURE BREATH!" he hollered, laughing harder, mainly just in disbelief that actually panned out almost perfectly.
Now then, as for getting back up the mountain...yeah, nah. Definitely wasn't about to win this thing by any stretch of the imagination. Then again, that wasn't really the goal for him anyway. As far as he was concerned, he succeeded in what he set out to do. Showed off the hard work and ingenuity of the Support Classes, and stopped people from getting hurt too much and preventing them from a fair shot at winning. All in all, a win in his book!
Stretching out the cramps from that little crash, Jack would start to make his way back up at his own pace. Even if he wasn't going to win, he was still at the least going to congratulate the winner. Shit, probably should have brought a snack bar or something to at least tide him over on the trip back up. Eh.
