[attr="class","ZenkaiExposition"]Zenkai continued to sip on his milkshake as he listened to Kei, nodding his head in approval as their roommate called the staff "Sick". Kei was a good lad and his taste in gear was impeccable. Not only did he welcome the challenge of making a new set of gear, he took Zenkai's ridiculous request seriously. Honestly, Zenkai didn't even take themselves seriously when they were drawing out the staff. The stupid blueprint had things like "Kapow" next to a Shield and "Sharp" Next to the sword, hell even the scythe had the comment of "Rocket powered???" Everything about the idea would seem completely idiotic to anyone else besides Kei.

"Well, definitely going to need it durable so we can cut down on the length of some things to increase durability, or cut down on how many weapons there are…At the moment I was thinking six or seven but if that's too much we can narrow it down to a few. I'd rather have strength and durability over versatility when it comes to weapons." The golden boi finished, looking down at his half finished milkshake before nudging it closer to Kei and looking at him expectantly.

Zenkai didn't have to mull over Kei's question for long, responding almost immediately to the question. "Nope! Not in the least! Only thing I really know how to use is my fists! Though that's not going to stop me! I can always just start learning how to use other weapons while you make it, or just learn after it's finished! I doubt it'll take THAT long to become adept at those weapons…at least for how I want to use them!" The titan grinned from ear to ear "I'm sure it'll be fine!"

[attr="class","ZenkaiExposition"]"What the fuck is going on?" Zenkai asked as the group of hooligans argued with the newest arrival to the shit show. New dude obviously didn't seemed pleased that Horseface had shown up again let alone brought more friends to the party. Seems like Horseface had caused trouble at the burger joints before, which checked out, they didn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed if he was coming back after getting beaten once but what did you expect when dealing with low grade thugs. Couldn't these dudes at least add some flair to their antics?

CLANK. The sapphire-eyed titans stream of thought was suddenly and rudely interrupted as the metal bat slammed into his head before bending around it. While it was a bit painful to be hit by such a thing the force of it wasn't enough to move Zenkai in the least. Instead Zenkai turned to his new found frenemy before letting out a sigh "Now…I got to hurt ya" The would-be hero sighed before grabbing the man's face with their massive paw.

As soon as Zenkai took ahold of the man Horseface decided to go be a jerk about the whole thing and activate his quirk, sending the ugliest maw Zenkai had ever seen their way, a perfect receptacle for the thug who just tried to hit them. With little effort Zenkai spun around before yeeting the screaming thug straight at the Jaws of Horseface.

[attr="class","ZenkaiExposition"]It seemed like everything was under control, Horseface might have seen through his attempts to diffuse the situation but at least it bought the golden boi enough time to come up with another plan. And if that didn't work, maybe they would actually just take the food and leave. It wasn't like Zenkai couldn't pay for it, they had a black card from their grandfather after all.

Unfortunately for the would-be hero the situation spiraled out of control as a new guest appeared, taking down the two accomplices and saving the elderly couple. The new dude and horse face seemed to have shared history and lucky for Zenkai the new guy was polite enough to ask if they were with the gang before attacking.

"Nah, just wanted to eat in peace when Seabiscut over here showed up." Zenkai's massive hand reached out pushed the bat gently away from their face with two fingers. "Then Bojack got all upset cuz his feelings were hurt and decided to take Grandpa and Grandma hostage" The Monkey King's eyes never left the vigilante, paying little to no mind to the rabid, bat wielding horse as they spoke.

[attr="class","ZenkaiExposition"]There was nothing for Zenkai to do but stand there and blink as Freja deflected the decapitation strike. They didn't understand what the hell was going on or why they were being attacked in the first place. How in the nine hells did this random woman know their name? Why the hell did she want to kill them so much? When the hell did Freja get so good with her bat? Honestly that was some cool ass shit she just pulled, she should be applauded for her efforts.

"Uh…Do I know you lady?" The sapphire-eyed titan finally managed to blurt out once they finally got over the fact that they were almost headless if not for their partner. "How do you know my name?" The questions were dumb but Zenkai had to be forgiven for their confusion. Unfortunately the monkey king wasn't prepared for the answer they were about to receive.

"Michael sends his regards"

The temperature around Zenkai rose ten degrees as they fought against their body's visceral reaction to use their quirk the second the mysterious woman uttered that name. On the outside their attacker would only receive an eyebrow raise I'm response but on the inside the golden boi had to choke back the panic that was threatening to consume them. They hadn't heard that name in years and the feelings and memories associated with it filled them with unease. They wanted to get rid of this woman as soon as possible. No, they needed her gone, locked away, dead would have been better but they were a hero now…or were trying to be.

"Freja" Zenkai looked over to glare at their friend. "Break her fucking knee caps." And with that, They charged.

[attr="class","ZenkaiExposition"]Things were always so much better when people just chilled out and enjoyed life together, at least that's what Zenkai thought. Unfortunately it didn't seem like horse face was the kind of person who believed in such a thing. While the words that the man spoke would make a person think otherwise, the way he spoke them made it known that he didn't believe a thing he was saying. In fact, it seemed like they'd probably end up having a problem with them and take a swing at the monkey king. Surprisingly though, he didn't and decided to walk towards the door. What came next was one hundred percent the consequences of Zenkai's actions.

"Well…Fuck…" The golden boi let out a loud sigh before finishing their milkshake and standing up. A hostage situation certainly wasn't something they wanted during their second visit to Bernie's burgers. It was a pain in their ass and judging by the way the thugs looked, they actually meant businesses. Good thing Zenkai was a hero student at U.A.U. and had been taught how to handle this sort of situation! Well, would have been taught had they not slept through the entire lesson.

"Hey, listen, I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to talk shit." Zenkai spoke, walking towards the group with their arms raised. "Listen, you know what, as an apology, allow me to buy food for you and your friends, you said you were hungry right?" Hopefully Horse face was as dumb as he looked and would settle for a free meal while the police came and took him and his buddies away. If that didn't work he could at least try something else…

"You don't need to treat the old folks like that, why don't you just let them go and you can take me instead, then we can all enjoy a food meal together!" The golden boi pointed towards the door to the burger place. "C'mon. It'll be a blast."

[attr="class","ZenkaiExposition"]Bernie's burgers was honestly one of the most amazing burger joints that Japan had to offer. This was of course because the dude who owned the joint, Bernie, was an American and knew what the fuck a burger was supposed to look and taste like. For someone who was homesick for a little taste of the states it was the perfect place to kick back, relax, and joy some good ol' artery clogging, American food. For this reason and this reason alone Zenkai made it a point to visit the location at least once a week, determined to try everything kn the menu at least once. It was only his second time visiting but he had already gone through half the menu. Today, they would go through the second half.

Just as they finished up their order a weird, ugly looking, horse man decided to enter the establishment and do what weird looking horse people do: Cause trouble. While it wasn't much trouble in the grand scheme of things. Only a door and the meal of an elderly couple, it was still a dick move, especially with the couple. It wasn't nice to deny people a chance to have a delicious meal like the burgers at Bernie's. Of course, they weren't about to cause trouble before they ate their meal. Well… Not too much trouble.

"So…that was a dick move" The titan spoke as he took a sip of his newly arrived milkshake. "I mean, they just wanted to eat their food, no need to scare them off, I'm sure we can all have a burger without disturbing eachother, don't you think" As Zenkai spoke he sported his usual shit eating grin. While his words might have sounded peaceful, the look on the golden boi's face definitely made it clear he was goading the horse.

[attr="class","ZenkaiExposition"]"I'm…not thanking your mom for giving you a nice butt…" The golden boi sighed as the skated around the rink. They had decided not to mention that they didn't even mean to say butt, it just wasn't worth the effort to clarify, especially since Marlene didn't seem to mind. They just sighed and tried to tune out the stares that they were receiving because of course the two of them would be the ones getting stares. To make the situation worse Marlene decided to do the most robotic thing ever and turn her head a full 180 degrees to see while she was skating. It would have been unnerving if it wasn't so hilarious.

The titan let out a chuckle as he looked around at the horrified onlookers. "Yup, they're definitely astounded by how fast you're learning. You've really showed them how much of a better skater you are" Zenkai didn't have the heart to correct their date and was more than happy to let her think that she was getting the revenge that she so desperately sought.

The sapphire-eyed titan was more than happy to continue skating with their would-be girlfriend even if they didn't have anything else to teach her. Unfortunately life seemed to have different plans for the pair. On the far side of the skating rink the Zamboni burst free from its pen and began raging around the rink, swallowing up one poor skater leaving a trail of blood as it drove around the rink. Within seconds the skating rink erupted into chaos as civilians skated and ran for their lives away from the rampaging machine.

With a sigh, Zenkai looked down at his date "I guess you have another chance to show these people that you're better than them" The monkey king bent down to kiss the android on her nose "Unless you'd prefer that I go break it?"
