Nick had thought he had seen everything, but apparently not. He was left staring with eyes completely wide behind his biological facemask, mouth hanging slightly open and eyebrows narrowed. “What in God’s name?”
There was absurdity, and then there was this. Nick was only broken out of his utterly confused trance by Krowe yelling at him to, as he put it, ‘kick his arse’.
There did not seem like much else he could do – not that he did not want to flatten this guy for the turret incident. Swallowing back the pain in his arms, he charged at him with a haymaker aimed right at his head, but the military man was fast and jumped away from it, then delivered a vicious jab to Nick’s side. Nick grunted in pain and put up his arms in a defensive posture as the military man unleashed a whirlwind flurry of punches. Finally, one punch came too slow and Nick caught it.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” Nick echoed Krowe’s fury. “First you blatantly try to kill us, but even that’s not as ridiculous as this stupid cosplay you’re wearing!”
“This is our new prototype combat armour!” the military lunatic declared. “We had to test it out somehow, didn’t we? This seems like as good an opportunity as any!”
He managed to break away from Nick and landed a wicked hook that had Nick stumbling back. He regained his footing just in time to dodge to the side as the military man came at him again. He held out the hand nearest to the still-moving military man and one of his slimy, pulsating black tendrils burst from it. The military man tripped over it and hit the ground. Nick wasted no time calling his tendrils back and then diving on the man with a megaton punch.

Alaster watched in pure confusion as the armored soldier fought in a completely ridiculous way. The man was literally yelling out 'ORA ORA ORA ORA' as he launched his barrage of punches at Nick. What did he think this was, a mock battle at an anime convention?
Still, the man was so focused on his battle with Nick, it were as though Alaster wasn't even there. Smiling, Alaster began to work on his plan while taking advantage of the soldier being distracted. Quietly walking away from the two armored men fighting, Alaster began heading closer to the murder of crows flying in the air, hoping that they would get close enough to be within range.
Alaster kept moving closer and closer until he stopped in front of the wall of the course. Observing the crows, he waited until some of them flew close enough for him to be able to control. Finally, after about a minute, two of the crows flew within Alaster's range! He wished that more flew his way, but two crows would have to be enough. Wasting no time, Alaster activated his quirk, cawing loudly and feeling that tingling sensation in his throat. As the sound waves moved from Alaster's vocal cords and reached the crows, their eyes glowed blood red, and they turned towards Alaster. They were ready to obey their master's command.
Alaster cried out to the crows. "Follow me!" Seeing the crows fly towards him, Alaster ran back to the fight, with the birds closely flying behind him. He saw as Nick delivered a megaton punch to the man. Admiring Nick's sheer strength, Alaster wondered if he even needed to get the crows to begin with. Nick seemed to be doing just fine on his own.
However, it appeared that Alaster may have spoken too soon. With a swift kick, the soldier attacked Nick as he got back up. "Not bad, boy! But I'm a trained soldier! It'll take more than a punch like that to keep me down! Mwahaha!" Was the dramatic evil laughter really necessary? In any case, the soldier had not noticed Alaster or the crows. It seemed like he was still distracted with battling Nick.
As the soldier continued to laugh, he resumed his barrage of punches on Nick. It was then that Alaster noticed something. Something incredibly ridiculous. So much so, that there was no way it could be real. Surely this man was just acting or something, because this could not be legitimate. No way! Alaster didn't know whether to laugh or facepalm when he saw it.
There was a big red switch on the back of the soldier's suit, with the word "OFF" on it in big bold letters.
Resisting the urge to just laugh at the sheer absurdity of an off switch on the back of the man's suit, Alaster made his move. "HEY MORON! REMEMBER ME?" As the soldier turned around in surprise, Alaster cawed again. This time, he commanded the two crows to attack. The birds swooped in and began pecking and clawing at the man. He apparently forgot the fact that he was wearing armor, or he would not have began panicking and waving his arms around to try to get the crows away from him.
By now, Nick must have noticed the off switch on the man's back, as well as the opening Alaster made for him. Just in case he didn't, Alaster turned to face Nick and yelled. "Now's your chance!"

Nick took the kick with a pained grunt and fell back. He was not quite fast enough to block the first few punches delivered and barely managed to keep standing. All the while, though, his fury grew and grew. To call his situation absurd would be an understatement: it had gone way beyond that a while ago.
He tried his best to throw punches back, but the lunatic merely laughed his ridiculous comical laugh. Then, they both heard Krowe’s yell, and out of nowhere two birds descended on the lunatic who began flailing around like a complete idiot. Nick blinked behind his mask. Birds? Was that Krowe’s Quirk – oh. That would be why he called himself Krowe, then, assuming that was a pen-name and not his actual one.
The birds’ attack caused the man to turn his back to Nick, revealing the most blatant ‘off’ switch Nick had seen in his life, adding to the utter absurdity of the situation. Somewhere in Nick’s mind he wondered if the final version of the armour would have such a thing.
“Enough of this nonsense!” he roared as he threw himself towards the man and slammed a hand down on the switch. It did not exactly help the pain in his arms at all, but he did not care.
At once the man’s movements stilled until they came to a complete stop like a toy that had run out of batteries. The armour opened up from the front and deposited the man. Nick seized the man within seconds of him meeting the ground and hauled him up before he had chance to react.
“You stupid bastard!” he snarled, pulling a fist back. “I’m going to kill you!”
“What in the name of God is going on here?” came a new voice.
Nick reluctantly let go of the man once he turned and saw the source of the voice belonged to an older, rougher-looking soldier at the front of a group of similar types.
“There he is!” cried one of the men, pointing to the lunatic responsible for that mess. “What the hell is wrong with you, Himura? You weren’t even supposed to be at this event!”
“I knew someone had broken into the armoury,” said another man, eyes on the prototype armour. “But I didn’t think it’d be one of our own!”
Nick’s own armour released him and he stumbled slightly from a sudden rush of weakness in his muscles, but managed to just keep his footing. His head pounded and his arms, dear lord his arms hurt as though they had been torn clean off. He could not wait to see the back of this place. First things first, though, he had to ensure the military knew everything that had gone down. He did not fancy being charged for vandalising a turret.
“That’s not all he did,” he called over to the leader of the newcomers. “He rigged one of the turrets to fire bullets at us. I did what I had to to shut it down and save us.”
“It’s true, sir,” said another soldier as he appeared from the direction of the turret and approached the group’s leader. “We’ve finished checking and, yup, Turret H was loaded with live ammunition rounds instead of paint.”
“Himura!” bellowed the leader of the newcomers, who shot Nick and Krowe’s attacker a glare so furious even Nick almost felt sorry for him for just a millisecond. “I hope you realise your ass is never gonna see the sun again for the shit you pulled here!”
Two soldiers seized the insane man apparently named Himura.
“You Quirker freaks!” the man howled at Nick and Krowe, struggling to no avail as he was dragged away.
The first man to have spoken after the leader approached Nick and Krowe, rubbing the back of his neck.
“We are so sorry for all of this,” he said, shuffling slightly. “I was supposed to be the one on duty here, but that nutjob knocked me out. The two of you should go to the medical area immediately. We’ll have some of our guys escort you.”
He seemed nervous, which was odd for a hardened military veteran. Nick then realised that both he and Krowe were in a good position to sue the military for what had gone down. Well, Krowe was, maybe. Nick could not afford a lawyer to sue anyone. He glanced at Krowe, wondering if Krowe would say anything about doing so.

Alaster just stood there, unsure of how to even react. Holy crap, that button was actually a legitimate off switch! Alaster almost expected the button to be some form of trap, likely put there to either lower the opponent's guard as they laughed at how silly it was, or as some sort of power-up or booster disguised as an off switch. Had either been the case, it would have been ingenious and ridiculous enough to have actually fooled him. But nope, it was indeed just an off button. Well that was anticlimactic.
The soldier was surprised to see that he was suddenly being ejected from his now open armor. Did...did he not know about the off switch being there? It wasn't exactly easy to miss. Alaster facepalmed as he watched the soldier begin to panic. What an idiot!
Seeing Nick prepare to beat the crap out of the fool soldier, Alaster supposed that he no longer had any reason to keep the two crows under his control. Cawing once more, Alaster commanded the crows to flee. The birds flew away as instructed. Once they escaped Alaster's range, the crows were freed and continued to fly as far away as they could. Alaster sighed. The poor things.
Suddenly, Alaster heard the sound of the gate being unlocked and opened. Immediately after, he saw a different soldier walk through the now opened gate, with several others following him. “What in the name of God is going on here?” Finally, the cavalry had arrived. Jeez, what took so long?
Apparently, the crazy soldier was named Himura. And thankfully, he was not under orders to do any of the things he had done. Rather, he was just a loose cannon who was acting on his own crazy agenda. Alaster felt a massive surge of relief upon discovering this. He was almost beginning to wonder if the entire military was this insane.
Alaster then noticed Nick speak up. He wasn't transformed anymore, either because the fight was over, he'd reach his limit, or both. Alaster smiled as Nick brought up that turret that had fired real bullets rather than paint. Good, good. That psychopath Himura deserved to be punished for all of his crimes.
As Alaster watched two soldiers drag Himura away while hypocritically calling both Alaster and Nick freaks, Alaster chuckled. He half expected Himura to say some silly phrase, like how he would have gotten away with it if not for such and such. But then Alaster began groaning in disappointment and annoyance as Himura began shouting that exact line almost word for word. "My plan was flawless! I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling-" But thankfully, Himura was cut off by one of the soldiers, who told him to just shut the hell up and keep moving.
Finally, it was all over. One of the soldiers had apologized for the fiasco that had taken place, and suggested that he and Nick head to the medical area while the soldiers escorted the two. In all honesty, Alaster was not really hurt, just out of breath and exhausted. Still, he was not about to pass up being escorted by the military. After all, Alaster didn't know if Himura was acting alone, or if there was more to his crazy actions than meets the eye. In any case, it didn't hurt to play it safe. "Sure, sounds good. Let's go, then."
As he began to follow the soldiers out, Alaster remembered something. He went close to Nick's ear and whispered. "So, it seems that crazy just keeps following us around wherever we go, huh? This is now the second time you saved me. Thank you. ...Nick." Smiling, he wondered how Nick would react to those words.
Alaster knew that Nick wanted to keep his disguise up, but as for why he was disguised to begin with, Alaster did not know. Still, Alaster did not care enough to try to find out. He had no intention of blowing Nick's cover. It was the least he could do to thank him for saving Alaster's life again. In addition to that, Alaster decided to base the protagonist of his next book off of Nick. Also, the book would contain more than enough dragons to satisfy him. Now to think of a good title for the book....

Krowe said nothing on the topic of suing the military, so it was off to the medical area. Nick really did not want to go to the medical area, but arguing with so many soldiers seemed pointless and ill-advised, and his arms probably did need some looking at. So, he reluctantly allowed himself to be escorted.
As they walked, Krowe turned his head to him – and there it was; the confirmation of his recognition. Nick was not surprised Krowe recognised him; he had known he would the moment he had transformed. Even so, he tensed, heartbeat accelerating as he feared Krowe would say something to blow his cover. He really did not fancy the soldiers finding out he was in disguise, because once they undid that disguise…
Krowe, however, said nothing further. Nick remained tense, frowning now. What was Krowe’s angle? Was he holding the fact he knew Nick’s identity over him in case he needed it later? Or was he simply being polite as Nick had helped him twice now? If Krowe had looked at the news recently then he would likely know Nick was wanted – but perhaps by some miracle he did not. It was too much for Nick to think about in his post-attack, post-transformation state and he quickly gave up, his mind aching far too much.
“You’re welcome,” he quietly replied. He did not smile or meet Krowe’s eyes.
What a hellish day. Never had he wanted to see a bed more in his life.

Hello hello! I'll be grading your thread today! I'm still learning so I apologize if I make any mistakes! Taking the post count and word count of each member into account and the content of each post, this is what I determined the reward to be:
Nick: 24*2 (Semper-Fi) =48 EXP
Alaster: 32*2 (Semper-Fi) = 64 EXP
Since this is an event thread, that means double the EXP! Hooray! Crow boy and Armor man going at it at the military base, what better way for these two to go at it. Enjoy your double EXP!
