If there was going to be a party for villains, it was a given she would attend! After all she was half a day sober and a party was as good a time as any to get drunk. She even had a dedicated chauffeur, so nothing to worry about! Rather than barge in and try to make herself the center of attention as usual, she decided to hang back and get a good look at all the faces, old and new, that were attending the party. She could go bother that Yingshe woman who liked talking to herself, or her Magic Bestie, maybe even ask him if he could show her another trick with his quirk.

But then she spotted someone else. A new face. Another potential bestie.

With a big grin she finished pouring some suspicious green liquid into one of the two cocktails she was mixing, before carrying them over towards Naomi with a smile. ''Hi bestie!! What are you doing?'' She greeted Naomi like she had known her for years. ''Do you like the party? I think it's a little quiet, but the drinks are great.'' She had to admit, it was refreshing to see another villain here that was around the same height as her. ''Speaking of you should try this.'' She offered one of the cocktails to Naomi. ''I poisoned one of them, but I don't remember which one.'' She giggled, ''isn't that fun? Do you want to take the gamble with me?'' She eagerly anticipated her answer. ''I'm Mummy by the way! Before you ask no I don't have any kids, it's because of my quirk. Do they call you something because of your quirk too?''

She looked at the new arrivals before realizing her knife had probably been vaporized in the explosion. ''Why are there so many of them? Is it because they're weak and they all need to stick together to fight people that are strong?'' She looked up at Flamemane. ''You're not weak, are you bestie? I'll kill you again if you're not entertaining.''

Flamemane cleared her throat and tied her hair back. ''I just needed the money.'' She said, her voice a little shaky, but judging from Rui's smile she had given a satisfying answer. Raising her voice, Rui shouted to Olivia and Retsu, wherever they may be. ''We're about to have fun and kill some more people, if you don't wanna miss out you should come over here!'' She could barely stand still, giddy at the thought of getting to commit more violence. ''Bestie Amy! Your first job is to find me a weapon!'' She pointed at her taller bestie demandingly. ''Mummy- Rui-sama... Surely we should use this chaos to try and run away? By all accounts you've already won.'' Rui stomped her foot and shook her head. ''No! We're killing more, don't be a coward!''

''I-I'm not, I'm just saying!-'' Her eyes widened seeing the Pro Hero. She had a feeling that if they stayed here they might not make it out alive. Didn't matter how strong Rui's healing was. ''Nuh uh!'' Rui responded to Willful Wisp saying they were under arrest. ''Not me, but you can arrest her!'' She pointed at Flamemane. ''Rui-sama!'' She exclaimed, to which Rui clapped her hands together. ''Come on! It would be funny! I'll break you out after!'' Although the two were bickering, Flamemane quickly looked up as she saw the arrows coming way before Rui did.

''Look out!'' She pushed Rui back and held her fist up to the palm of her hand. ''Stage 5, UNDEFINED!'' She called out and within seconds a giant tortoise appeared out of a smoke cloud. The beast's shell easily repelled the arrows as it let out a low grumble. ''Turtle!'' Rui exclaimed happily jumping to her feet. ''That's your quirk?! Does he have a name?'' She immediately ran up to pet its leg. ''Johnson.'' Flamemane said, wiping sweat from her brow. ''Can we make this quick, Rui-sama? I can't keep him on stage 5 for long.'' She smiled apologetically. ''You got it bestie!'' She grinned widely, unwrapping her bandages to use like a lasso to get ahold of a gun that hadn't been blown up in the thermobaric explosion. ''I want the big one!'' She stuck the gun in her mouth and charged to meet him in the middle. ''Understood. Johnson!'' Flamemane moved her arms again, keeping one fist close to her side while her palm pointed up. ''To the skies!'' Her tortoise blinked his eyes slowly before suddenly leaping into the air with an unexpected level of athleticism. In all her time with Wildfire she hadn't revealed this supermove to any of the other members. Heck, unless they had looked into her background they probably didn't even know about stage 5 either. The giant tortoise turned meteor as it soared through the air, headed directly for the metallic guy as it tried to body slam him.

''Hhhr bnnf mmm ur debf!'' Rui shouted at the giant guy, gun still in her mouth, unwrapping her bandages to use her parkour skills to begin climbing him, hoping to get up to his head before she needed to pull the trigger.

A gruff voice responded to Rhea's call. ''You're the one she picked then, that Mummy?'' There was a moment of silence as the overturning of papers could be heard through the phone. ''Come to xx-xx-xx address, you'll be auditioning for the part. Tryouts start in 2 hours.'' Without any further details the man hung up.

''This one had better be good.'' Once he had hung up he turned to look to the other side of his dark office where Rui was lounging and playing with a revolver, playing Russian roulette with herself. ''Oh please, bestie Malachite, have I ever let you down?'' She cocked her head as she pulled the trigger and the gun let out a hollow click. ''You're efficient, but you're also risky.'' Rui was akin to a wildcard among his henchmen. She was best used strategically and as a surprise factor. ''Where's the fun without a little risk?'' She cooed, pulling the trigger again to receive another empty click.

When Rhea showed up to the given address she would be greeted by a rather swanky-looking underground club. It was devoid of patrons during the daytime, but there was still staff ready to greet her as she entered. One notable employee was a 7 foot tall man with a head made of mud. ''Allow me to take your coat, miss.'' He offered, dangerously close to getting mud on her clothes as he leaned forward. Entering into the club proper in the main room there was a row of chairs arranged in front of a grand stage with a microphone, all empty seats except for two occupied by Rui and Boss Malachite respectively. ''Heey bestie!'' She waved with her gun in hand. Malachite didn't turn to look at her and instead just waited for her to take the stage. ''Name, please.'' He finally asked and then gestured to the microphone. ''Sing.''

''Where's my money?!'' Rui shouted at the Forseti guys as she swiped at them with her knife, unable to penetrate their armor with glancing blows. ''Gimme my money now!'' She knew that their mission wasn't about robbing these guys blind, not in that sense anyway. Still, if she could secure a few wallets she wouldn't pass up the opportunity. With another hail of bullets coming her way Rui fell to the ground, unmoving for a couple of seconds as she lost the grip on her knife, only to pop right back up like fate had decided she was its favorite child. ''That tickles.'' She giggled, getting up just in time to witness Elias' grand entrance onto the scene. She would probably have to heal him later. As soon as he shot one of the troops and they dropped a rifle she couldn't help herself, rushing over to claim the spoils. ''Bestie!! For me? You shouldn't have!'' With some effort she picked the rifle up. It wasn't quite Rui sized and it was heavy too, but that wouldn't stop her from having fun.

''What did the gun say to the idiots?'' She smiled, taking aim at the troops. ''BOOM!'' She shouted as she shot one of them, the recoil sending her flying. ''BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!'' She kept shooting, cackling and flying further back until she hit one of the crashed vehicles to use as leverage. ''Eat lead, bleeders!!''

What a wonderful sight it was to see her business competitor undone by eggs. Now her stand was going to be stinking up even worse than Rui's and once it was fully covered no one was going to want to do business with them anymore! A devious, flawless plan and it couldn't be traced back to her. That was exactly why they called Rui the genius villain, or rather would very soon once she convinced enough villains to get onboard with that. Her intellect was unmatched there was just lots and lots of people that didn't know it yet!

Not trying? She didn't even have to anymore when the ship she was competing with had been hit and was sinking beneath the waves. ''Huh?'' Wait a second, she wasn't the boss of this stand! She was just an employee! ''I am an expert!'' She continued lying, raising her voice higher than her boss's because that's how you won arguments. ''This is absurd I didn't even do anything!'' She stomped once, putting her foot down, but due to her lightweight it barely made a sound. ''She gave us money.'' One of the kids pointed at her, sobbing. ''You little snitch, how dare you rat me out!!'' If she had her knife with her it would be stabby times right about now. Was she going to get found out by heroes if she stayed any longer? Perhaps it was time for her to make her exit. ''You clean it up yourself, you old fart!'' She tossed the rag back at her boss and dumped the bucket on the ground. ''I'm done! You're stupid, charity is stupid, candy is stupid, heroes are stupid.'' She stormed out, turned and pointed at Ylva. ''She's a loser with no friends, I'm gonna come back with a weapon and kill all of you.''
