Farrah's bubbles had done about what she'd expected: namely, she seemed to have confused the other two competitors, but accomplished little else. One couldn't ask for miracles, after all. Despite the efforts of Feng and Arisu to slow down Angel and Risaka, the other team had captured two mannequins. As for Rimma, she was wearing a few more battle-scars now, but still moving. That was one case where she was glad to see an opponent still in the game; she let out a sigh of relief.
Still, the current results briefly weighed on her. One might say things were relatively even right now... after all, the enemy team would need to repeat these results a few more times if they wanted to win. On the other hand, if one were to apply the lesson's teachings literally, they had just let two hostages get taken, not just dummies... when it came to rescuing civilians, she didn't want to think of it as a numbers game. Just as soon as the worry overtook her, however, she managed to shake it off. "I just have to view it from the enemy's perspective! Rescuing civvies is also their objective. So even if they manage to steal from our cart, they're still playing the heroes part! I should celebrate their successes as well, and respect their performance by givin' em hell!" she resolved.
Speaking of resolve, it sounded like Arisu was giving another strategy meeting. Her friend had stepped up to the vacant role of team strategist readily once Fenrir was knocked out of the battle, for which Farrah was thankful; she liked to be a mood-maker, but just because she thrived in groups didn't mean she had the proper senses to lead them. She rejoined the others, abandoning the shadows for the sake of getting in on the talk. "Nice to meet you Amber, my name is Pop Poet! I'm a new student but soon, everyone'll know it! My power is bubbles that burst with my voice, and to amplify or whisper, that is my choice!" Farrah introduced herself to the newcomer. Introductions didn't last long though; Jaz had her gameplan, which was to blast herself into the air and go after Angel. "E-eh! My relationship with Angel is more than just friend! And this rescue class would be a terrible place for it to end!" she reiterated, but Jaz would do as she felt best.
It looked like Arisu might need to rest, and Feng as of yet hadn't rejoined them (she had been tied up with Angel earlier). As such, Farrah felt that cart defense may fall to her. "Do not worry! I have concocted a plan! I'll pull my weight in our merry band!" she announced, pressing her fist to her chest proudly, before skipping after the cart into zone B. Arisu wouldn't have much of a chance to stop Farrah, even if she wanted to. Once Farrah had reached the area nearby the cart, she started a twirling dance, holding one hand to her head, then abruptly stopped, clenching her teeth and holding her back as the injury acted up. "M-Maybe that's enough dancing for now! I thought I was over it, but holy cow!" she hissed quietly.
Presumably, it wouldn't be long before one of the other students showed up. Kirk and Rimma might sense that Farrah was the only one in position to guard the cart and would want to take the opportunity. Earlier, Kirk had taken down Farrah's bubble with relative ease, something which Angel could presumably replicate using her feathers... ever since then, the California girl had been pondering the best way to overcome that weakness of her quirk. "But I've come up with a strategy, so coy! And all I need is the chance to deploy!" she chuckled to herself. It'd be a bit more effort than usual, she realized, but she hoped it'd be worth it.
Of course, if no one approached the cart, she'd be left with a moment to rest instead. If someone did appear, however, she would cup her hand to her mouth and release five bubbles in succession. Instead of putting them all in a straight line, she would crane her neck up and down slightly, giving each a different vertical drift. This would make it more difficult to pierce them all with a straight line attack, hopefully. The first and second were simple whispers, containing the messages "Try!" and "My!" The third, however, held a souped-up boom, which would ring out "NEW!" The fourth and fifth were more dummies, containing "Strat!" and "Edgy!" Of course, they could also always luck out and snipe the third one... that'd be pretty unfortunate, especially if they did it right away while it was still close to her.
There was also the possibility that whoever approached would simply start dodging to the left, wide enough to circumvent the bubbles. If that was the case, she, at the very least, wanted to make sure they wouldn't approach her; she would circle around to the other side of her own bubbles, so that they would act as a wall between herself and anyone trying to close in on her. If they tried to run through and attack her, they'd end up bursting the bubbles all the same. She also had her fingers clenched, preparing to snap and detonate the third bubble if someone got in range.

-Farrah joins the strategy meeting, introduces herself and her quirk to Jaz, then leaves to protect the cart. -Farrah will either rest if no one approaches or, if they do, she will release five bubbles in their direction. The first two are whispers containing "Try!" and "My!" The third is a big boom containing "NEW!" The fourth and fifth are more whispers, containing "Strat!" and "Edgy!" If the opponent circles around the bubbles to reach her, she will move to put the bubbles between herself and them. If they get close to the third bubble at any point, she'll detonate it with a snap.

“ That blonde haired girl is skilled!”, Feng said to herself as she was running to the next zone and witnessed her going after Angel with no delay, looking almost like a shooting star. She stopped for a second to look in awe, but now it shows that she must try even harder to catch up with the schools best if people like her and red teams heavy hitter are up there. Taking a few more seconds to think about what to do, since the last round ended with the red team taking two of the mannequins and our heaviest hitter is going on the offensive. Though she is still quite mad that the enemy team got two of the mannequins but there are still two rounds left and thus, she needs to make smarter decisions in the future and learn from her mistakes. Overthinking on how to defend is not going to help her, so she goes for the more free form way of thinking and just has one thought in her head. “Looks like I have to be the vanguard of this cart and play it safe. ”, she said to herself as hops up onto the payload once again and takes a ready stance to defend it with all her might. Keeping an eye out for snow girl and the big guy, since their air support is currently busy. Feng aims to conserve her energy for any more upcoming confrontations and takes a few deep breathes to calm herself down and to charge up her next hits. She takes off the top part of her outfit and ties it around her waist, revealing her black top she was wearing under it. Will this affect her in the future? Yes. But she can now move a bit better and breathe a lot more as a result. Being particularly careful about snow girl for obvious reasons. She keeps a watchful eye around the cart and readies up to knock back any of ready team who try to go near the cart. She did remember to make a mental note of her allies abilities and hopes that they can aid her when she eventually makes a mistake. The current situation at hand is how to defend and catch up to the enemy ream if they take the mannequins since the extraction point of red team is shockingly close to the cart. Feng quickly remembers the goal of this game isn’t to knock out the enemy team but get the civilians to safety. Her current course of action is to watch every exit from the buildings around them, as well as the skies and react accordingly. She listens for any sounds around the area not made by her teammates. If anyone from the enemy team tries to go after Feng or the Dummies, she will promptly use her quirk to launch them back into the air or into the wall of a building with a kick. If no one else comes at the cart immediately, Feng takes the time to rest and charge up her next attack when the time comes for it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary of what Feng did:
-Feng hops onto the cart and is now defending it.
- Witnesses Jaz stunning impression of a comet as she goes after Angel.
-Took off the top part of her outfit off to breathe better.
- Hopes that her teammates got her back when she eventually makes a mistake.
-Is now watching for any signs of the enemy team and is ready to strike at them when they try and take a mannequin.

--- arisu --- - - - Seeing Rimma fall back and retreat rather than splatter or ragdoll made Arisu even more certain her decision to attack was the right call. She had to wait a few moments to BE certain, though- the misty cloud didn't disperse until the explosions tore it to pieces, but she saw Rimma scrambling back towards her team shortly afterwards, and heard her voice, though she had no idea what she said at this range. She didn't sound agonized, though, so that was all good news. What she didn't see in the moments that followed, as she escorted her team and the cart, was Risaka. She'd seen the girl vanish into the scoring area with the mannequins, but as to what she'd done after, she honestly just wasn't sure. She'd caught brief glimpses of Kirk and Rimma- and Angel, though she'd been higher up- banking into the corridor between the first two zones to stay out of the line of fire while they formed their plan for the second section, but Risaka hadn't shown at all. Was she playing it safer, denying them info on her whereabouts to play to a tactical advantage? That seemed most likely to Arisu- the girl had shrugged off every hit she'd landed like it was nothing. Maybe her colors buffered her from feeling the exhaustion or something, but for the time being, she had to presume that Risaka could come from anywhere. Her thought process was momentarily interrupted by Farrah's comment about her relationship with Angel- which somehow came as a surprise, though she was pretty sure she'd heared... something? About all that before. It seemed to her that the other team was slow in returning to attack. Arisu bit at her lip, considering and thinking aloud. "Fenrir warned us that Risaka couldn't hold her pace for long. That it'd take her almost as long as she kept her colors to recover afterwards. He didn't state that she'd be completely out of commission, though, so I don't want to write her off, but- I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to hold off for the time being in order to avoid engaging while Risaka isn't at full power, especially with you present, Ember..." Arisu held her thoughts a moment, letting them stew, before nodding. "Which means we should be pressing the attack while we're in this section."Ember spoke up, and Arisu nodded. "Yeah. That's the impression I got, as well." There was distinct relief in her tone- she didn't exactly mistrust her tactical instincts, but confirmation from a more experienced student was... deeply reassuring. "I'll stay with the cart. While they're under attack, they can't really afford to stay on the defensive- they're gonna have to make a play while scattered, and the cart's the one place we can be sure at least ONE of them is gonna go. I'll be there when they do, and I'll see if I can't knock one or more out completely." She flashed Ember a thumbs up as she declared she was heading for a surprise attack, and glanced at Farrah when she started popping out new speech bubbles. She seemed to be aiming to screen the cart with them, which was a particularly useful strategy now that things were closer in than before. Feng had opted to guard the payload personally, but Arisu planned to work double duty. Staying close to the cart, she moved to keep an eye on the exits from the area Ember had rushed into and proceeded to fill with the thunder of her explosions. Arisu was worried about Risaka's absence. It was smart, sure, but she really had hoped to get the strongest member of the opposing team pinned down by Ember while her colorsoak was recovering. Instead, it left Ember to scatter the opposing team, which... seemed positive, but she hated not knowing where someone as fast and powerful as Risaka might be right now, and it was sending her anxiety into overdrive. She indulged the faint, growing sense of panic for a good few moments, but finally did decide to banish it- she needed to keep her head on straight. The coordination she'd been offering her teammates had helped so far and kept their losses to a minimum- she needed to do the same now. "Typhoon Dragon, keep an eye behind the cart until we're past the bridge," called out Arisu to her teammates. "They can't be ahead of it or us yet, not with all of them being near the deposit point at the last juncture. They're all inside that corridor over there- we'll see them if they leave until we're around that corner. After that, up and right-side until we're close to the end, then it's our left side and rear we've got to watch- they'll be forced to expose themselves behind us to get to our right side. I'll shout if I see something, but I need you to do what you're already up to- making sure that anyone that gets close to the cart, ends up far away from the cart. Pop Poet, your screen's brilliant- try to stick near to me or Typhoon, I don't want you taking another hit like the last one, no matter how useful you'd be as a decoy mannequin if Angel comes back for another pass!" She tried to keep it light, but she really was concerned about Farrah taking a second hit as vicious as that first. She couldn't see what was going on, but was pretty sure that none of the three that weren't Risaka were about to intentionally linger near Ember where they could probably be easily removed from the battle by way of explosive expulsion. That meant she could probably expect them to scatter as Ember had intended, and if anyone came out any of the entrances to the corridor running through the dividing canyon wall between segments one and two besides the one leading back to the very end of the first segment, she had a double-barreled blackfire blast prepared for them! Fleeing back into zone A would keep out of her range- but anyone on approach to the cart with its current location or attempting to move further into the area would be forced to run the gauntlet of Arisu's attention. Relieved that Rimma's okay Watches Rimma, Angel, kirk bolt from the deposit area into the next zone, wonders where risaka is comes to same conclusion as Ember- time to attack! took up position to cover every exit from the corridor that Jazmine's attacking except the one leading back into the last zone! Planning to blast anyone that comes through besides Ember! Increasingly concerned about Risaka's absence... Warns Typhoon Dragon to watch their rear until they pass the bridge, since that's the only avenue of attack from their current location, but advises that the danger will be up and right-side until right before the end when the left and rear become the danger zones Advised Farrah to stay close so she doesn't get hit again- don't need another mannequin, no matter how nice a decoy she makes!

Post by Kirk Bluster on Feb 11, 2019 14:19:26 GMT -4
Rush, rush, rush! Kirk was starting to feel like there would be no end to them running! Usually Kirk would have thought this as the best workout ever, in a somewhat positive way, but now he felt like an overly stepped on doormat. He was breathing heavy and just trying to keep up with the rest of the crew, as he was running away with Rimma in front... However, soon came the angel girl again, giving a proper talk in his direction, laying out some plans she had come up with. And sadly, Kirk wasn't exactly the best at hearing them with all the boom bang and his attention a little bit elsewhere. However, he did try his best, getting some sort of gist of it. "Well yeah, I getcha, but you see...! I am kind of burnt out, and Risaka runs out of juice after a bit of rampaging so..." He stopped for a moment preparing mentally to get a lashing for saying something bad about her quirk, only to realize something even worse..."...Where is Risaka!?" He waved his head around like a little turbine, trying to see her... only to hit a bad realization. "...Oh no..." Last time he had seen her in the building where they dropped off the mannequins! So by sheer logic, he realized that he had pretty much left a teammate behind in enemy territory! Man, that definitely would propably smart in the grade for the class! NO, it wasn't time to think about those things! "Let's just say, we ain't gonna be fighting her for a little while at this rate!" And then he heard a loud BOOM. Again. Looks like whoever had replaced alex wasn't exactly a sneaky methodical type. Which would have propably been a relief if Explosions weren't involved! Seemed like an unfair quirk against what they had on offer!
And when he turned his head, it felt even worse... "INCOMING!" Welp, it was time for their defensive team to give off a counter attack. Classic in sports. Kirk and folks had just gotten a goal, and were backing up, so naturally they were wanting to settle the score... But none of them could propably take a direct hit from just one of their attackers! Bubble lady maybe, asian screamer most likely! But MISS BOOMBANG!? No way in heck! However... she was just coming straight at them... For kirks sporty mind it seemed a little bit too obvious. Any goalkeeper could prepare to block that! Which lead into him realizing a simple thing as she caught up to them... "GET DOWN!" He didn't have much time to think, other than the fact that a trickshot was gonna be coming their way! If angel followed his instruction, She could maybe get out of the way before he would put his own plan in motion, As he proceeded to look how the girl maneuvered in the air, dropping a big heel of her boot downwards with her... But what was waiting for her, wasn't the angelic figure of a girl... It was the silhouette of a big boy... with a sudden pit on his backside?!
Eeyup, thats the idea he had gone with. If she didn't react quickly enough, she would fall straight into his backpouch, and he would close it on her, encasing her inside with couple of sportsballs and a baseball... Albeit the sheer force of her attack would pretty much slam him into the ground pouch first if this was the case. "I GOT HER! YOU GUYS DO SOMETHING!" It would be a temporary solution that was for sure, but in this case, he couldn't come up with much else to do.
If she avoided it, well it would perhaps get the rest of the duo time to do something else, perhaps even give them time to come up with a proper attack plan against her! "Well... it was a worth a try, right, hehe!?" He would laugh awkwardly with sweat dropping down his face, as he pulled out his baseball bat.
Whichever the case, He was starting to stand a bit straighter... Almost like he could breathe a little bit better. Best timing ever propably. Summary - Kirk thinks the plan is alright, but Risaka is not in condition to do it... - ...And realizes he technically left Risaka to handle herself... - However, Jaz is on her way! - Realizes with his sport knowledge that currently her direction was too obvious! - Reacts accordingly, warning angel... - And going under jaz with a little hop, trying to bag her into his pouch. - If successful, tells the others to do something! - If failed, prepares to try and hold her back some other way... Hopefully others have a better plan! - Debuff is finally off next post!

| A s Angel flew above her crew she found herself biting her lip in frustration at not only the fact that they were a fighter down,but also the fact that they were now facing who basically amounted to a human tank! As Kirk began to explain that he was beginning to feel a bit run down which Angel guessed was Sue's handy work and that Risaka their big gun was out of gas for the time being Angel realized what she had to do to keep her team in the game though she wasn't going to enjoy it in the slightest. The young Angel looked down at her team's male muscle and female cover and forced herself to have a confident smile. "Alright team we've still got this! It may be true that we may be without our big gun,but that will just make our teacher and opponents all that more impressed with us if we pull this off! It's clear that until we manage to take Jasmine off the board there is no way that we are gonna get the rest of those civilians! It's also obvious that considering they have already tried to take me out twice that they currently see me as their biggest strategic threat thanks to my wings! I have no doubt that they will will take a swing at me again,when that happens I'll hold Jasmine off for as long as I can while you two work together to try and get more civilians! If I go down don't panic! They may beat our bodies,but we can't let them break our spirits!"As Angel and her team made their way deeper into zone B the familiar sound of explosions began to ring out through the air which lead Angel to stop in mid air and hover with her body standing straight and confident like a warrior getting ready to take on an army single handed as she slammed her fists together as Kirk yelled incoming. Without looking back at her team Angel steeled both her nerve and her gaze as she prepared herself and kept her eyes on Jasmine. "Get going you two! We have to hold our ground until Ms.Gray rejoins the group! If Jasmine takes you out then all of this meant nothing! Those civilians need us to save them! We're heroes and we're gonna show these guys what that title really means!"Despite knowing that all of this was but a game Angel decided for the moment to pretend that it was a true hostage operation to try and boost both her own morale and her team's. As Jasmine got close Angel quickly got into a boxer like stance but made sure to keep her eyes locked on her foe and luckily thanks to her own experience with fighting at high altitudes and speeds she was able to track her foe and as the fake attack came and went and Jasmine launched her true attack of a spinning drop kick Angel was able to react by raising her arms above her head in an X formation to do her best to block the attack. As Jasmine's jet propelled leg collided with her own arms Angel felt as if they were gonna snap in half at the forearm as the sheer force of the collision forced Angel to be thrust back down to the ground where she braced herself the best she could as her feet collided with the dirt and her knees popped under her as she kept her wings stretch out wide and yelled out with both pain and determination! "Raaaah! I won't let you get to them Villain! You face the Angel of Mercy now! Prepare yourself!"Angel despite her leg muscles,knee joins and forearms all screaming at her in agony she forced herself to stand tall and use her full strength in her arms to push Jasmine's leg off of her and shove her back. She then noticed that her team mate Kirk was still there and seemed ready for action and so she took a deep breath and gave Jasmine a fierce gaze. "I'll show you what it means to be Plus Ultra!"As Angel tried to keep her emotional energy up and her addreniline pumping to keep her strength up she felt her legs begin to shake and give out and so she used her wings to take to the sky once more and decided to go for her own big gun and flapped both of her wings as hard as she could toward Jasmine to launch out 10 feathers from each wing to try and not only damage her,but also force her back toward Kirk and Rimma so they could finish off their biggest threat. This also meant that Angel had used up so many feathers that she could no longer stay airborne and so she fell back toward the ground and despite trying to land on her feet fell to her hands and knees upon collision. It was up to her team now. If she actually managed to force Jasmine back and Kirk managed to grab her in his pouch Angel would look toward both him and Rimma with a frantic gaze.
"Slugger hold her as tight as you can for as long as you can! Let her head peek out! Flurry breath on her full blast! If she gets too cold she might not be able to use her quirk! This might be our only shot at taking her down without Ms.Gray!" |

RISAKA REINACHTU.A Student / Miss Gray
''Everyday I ask myself if I even should bother'' words 400• tagged @ • notes | Thank the heaven lords that no one saw this messy situation she caught herself up in, while struggling to get free she finally felt that fever fade away, and the burn she got from Alex was seemingly not hurting anymore. But that's not something she'd care too much about, especially when she knew everyone was slowly getting further and further away from her current position, she couldn't be stuck here forever! Huffing and puffing she pushed her upperbody up, now only having to untangle her right leg from the pile, the weight was hurting her limb due to it's pressure. It was a difficult time for her to pull herself out from it without feeling like she is tearing her limb off. ''I swear to fucking god those good for nothing pieces of trash leaving me behind fucking fuck dammit shit crap gaaah!'' Cursing out in frustration she couldn't do much else other than being patient with her leg, slowly but surely sliding it out from the pile of wreck before finally free from it all. She falls to her knees and pants, still quite tired from what she has been doing, and the rest has already gone to the second zone, she couldn't hear them anymore, not like she could do anything valuable for the team at the moment, plus, she didn't wanna get blown at by Jasmine.
''Remove one annoyance and another pops up, just great, although she doesn't seem to look that durable, at least less than what Alex wore..''
She held her chin and began to think through many scenarios of encountering the enemy team again, she walked close to the wall facing the next zone, peeking through to look for any enemies near her house. By the looks of it she didn't have to worry too much about them, they looked like to be clinging to the cart. ''Guess I will observe for some time, and hopefully my team won't yell out after me and expose my position...'' With that in mind she began to get out of the house, being quite a bit behind them as the cart was moving slowly through the first part of the second zone.
-1/3 of downtime. -Risaka plays the lurker role for now, observing from a distance, even from her own teamates. -She has no reason to confront anyone. |

Oh-ho~? Jasmine mused inwardly, a small smile forming on her face as Angel opted for a block rather than an evasion. Whether the winged combatant was aware that Jasmine had another trick up her sleeve or not, this might have been the best course of action for her. Had Angel tried to dodge, Jasmine would've been able to very easily close the gap between them with the charge of C2N14x she still had built up in her other foot. Thank God for the mine training - her control over her quirk was so potent it seemed like she held the charges seamlessly now, even if it required a modicum of focus that could have been broken through some effort. Whatever the case was, Angel was sent barreling into the ground, the collision of her foot against the other girl's arm enough of a 'bounce' to keep her airborne for a short while. Though she didn't have time to come up with a proper counter-attack. In the split second it took for Jasmine to regain her bearings another enemy attacked, attempting to catch the lioness off-guard. The blonde American raised her brow with some confusion. What the fuck is he doing? she thought, yet at the same time her keen defensive instincts wouldn't let her attempt to find out. With a dept flick of her hand and a subsequent explosion that followed, Jasmine's body took up a fully diagonal position, head aimed towards the ground. Then, thinking fast, she released the pent up energy she held in one of her feet, forcing her entire body to rocket towards the ground and away from... whatever Kirk was trying to do and, at the same time, the feathers Angel had sent flying towards her. Hell no. Not today. Another flip in the air saw to it that Jasmine landed on her feet. She hissed lowly as she felt the impact in her knees, sliding along the ground in a crouched position for a few meters before finally halting any and all motion. Yet instead of immediately going on the offensive the second she regained her bearings, Jasmine instead stayed quiet. Something Angel had said had intrigued the blonde lioness. Villain.
Oh, she thought, she thinks I'm a Villain. Slowly, from behind the shadow cast over her face by her hair, a smirk crept up over Jasmine's face. A smirk that soon turned borderline malicious. That's cute. Alright. I'll play along. It was very likely that none of them had seen an actual villain. Not up close and personal, anyway. Sure, you could see a bad guy on TV as they're beaten down by a hero and think that's all you need. But the real deal? The real deal was leagues above and beyond what anyone could ever imagine. The sheer bloodlust and intent to kill, the utter malice radiating from someone who wasn't just there to beat you, but to hurt you. To maim you. To murder you. A low snicker escaped her lips. That snicker very quickly turned into a chuckle and then a sneer. "Let's play," she said, her voice low and cold, betraying her exact intent. To hurt. To maim. To murder. Yeah, she wasn't going to do the latter two (school rules and stuff, am I right?) but the first one? Oh. Hurt was going to happen. Crimson eyes peered from the shadows as a series of explosions sent her flying very directly towards Angel again, the defense of the other combatants be damned. Her grin was still very much on her face as she flew towards them... or rather, Ember's grin. It would've seemed like Jasmine was going to simply attack them from the front, and while that wasn't necessarily wrong, her attack wasn't to be as obvious as that. Instead, when she was only about ten to fifteen meters away from her target, she suddenly whipped both of her hands in front of herself. "Boom." Silence. A split seconds of deaf silence ensued before a bright flash followed. Then the noise. The glorious chaos caused by two very strong explosions being released from the palms of her hands. They were wide and destructive, intent on engulfing the entirety of the team standing against her. -Jasmine dodged Kirk and Angel by using the energy she had stored in her foot to blast herself away and towards the ground. -landed, turned into a fucking Sith and went directly for the enemy team by using explosions to carry her the distance -about 10-15 meters away from the team she unleashed an explosion similar to Bakugo's blast gauntlets.

Arisu' praise of Farrah's strategy had the hero in training swelling with pride, puffing up her chest as she and Arisu watched over the cart from below, Feng Yao from above, and Jasmine from somewhere in the shadows where she had retreated. Retreated was perhaps the wrong word... she had hidden herself, but moments later, Jasmine made it clear with a series of loud explosions that she was the one on the offensive.
The differences in their powers were startling; here Farrah felt as if she would choke up if she made a few more loud bubbles, while the other girl was probably holding back to avoid leveling buildings. This served as a harsh reminder how different quirks could be from person to person. Speaking of different people, it wasn't exactly pleasing to see Amber getting so into the villain role either, considering neither team was really supposed to be acting like villains here. "A hero with such destructive power must keep their power in check! They are always fighting against a slightly overstacked deck," the game's second most powerful blond thought to herself. At this point she was just praying that Angel had survived the blasts... with this downtime, it was especially hard not to run and check.
Unfortunately for Farrah, her brilliant strategy was going mostly unused as all of the enemy team were either resting or otherwise tied up with Amber and unable to approach the cart. If the other team was going to rest up, then at this point, the trick for her was to restore as much of her own power as possible, while taunting her opponents into making a bad move.
First off, she needed to craft a new deception. The enemy team had probably heard her previous string of bubbles and knew what to expect. She would play off of that by releasing another three small bubbles, again with slightly different vertical arcs, towards the area Arisu had warned her about. These bubbles would contain no big booms at all, just "Relax" repeated three times in a row. The opponents would probably have to consider them just as dangerous as her weaponized ones, however, as she stood with her fingers ready on a snap.
While she waited, she initiated part 2 of her plan: baiting them out. Cupping her free hand to her mouth, Farrah began to beatbox, then raised her snap-ready hand into the air to thrust along with her rhymes.
"Whichever of you kidnappers are still okay! Listen to these beats and change your villainous ways! We've got big booms and a red hot mic And the words you hear today ought to change your life!"
Between pffts and paw-paws she continued to deliver a rhythmical warning / goad into action.
"You got all you're gettin, now it's time to go home! Those first two you got you can consider on loan! You can't touch your cart, its protected by me! And we've got other stunning members you can't even see! You're all students so it's time to test your smarts! And forget about approachin any hostage carts!"
With any luck, someone might come out the woodwork and be ripe for ambush by her teammates.
With poor luck, her rap might be wasted and completely unheard, seeing as giant explosions were happening at the same time...
-----
WC 554
-Farrah stays on the cart and makes three bubbles as decoys. They're all weak and just contain "Relax!"
-Farrah lays down a rap to taunt the enemies into an ambush!

Utterly dumbfounded at Jaz’s skill with her quirk, she took a few seconds to register what she has just witnessed before her eyes. If this is the level of damage that one of top students at the school can do, then she must train even harder to get up to at least half that level. Is the enemy team still in the game after that?
“What power, how much training does it take to reach that level?”
But she quickly remembered that someone took the two hostages and she has a feeling the one who took them is probably lurking around. But with no substantial evidence or way to find them easily or even who it is, all she can do is guard the cart with the rest of the group. Feng calms her breathing and carefully watches the areas around the cart to find any sort of movements.
“With her level and power, it’s kinda disheartening to just stand by and watch.”
Though with everything that’s going on, she doesn’t know what she can do now with her teammate’s explosive attacks. So, she slowly charges up her quirk for now.
As she was going to say something but then Pop Poet started to rap up a storm and sending them towards various locations near the cart and so forth. How is her teammate able to do this so well in a situation like this? But that’s a question for the future. Observing and scanning the surrounding area, there’s a lot of ways for her to traverse and bounce around to the higher levels. But she must choose her battles depending on who she finds and carefully deal with it when the time comes for it.
“Firewall, watch the area, I feel like someone is watching us.”
For now, she will stay on guard and carefully watch for any changes in the surrounding area. Luckily, she has back up this time, so she won’t have to face the trouble alone. But from the looks of the surroundings and the where the track is going, she is going to have to rest up for close quarters combat confrontations.
Feng has no clue on the capabilities of the red team’s heaviest hitter, she must be ready for anything. When it comes to match ups, she would prefer for it to be a 2- on-2 so she has someone to work with, but with how the match is currently going, she has no choice in who she gets.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary of what Feng did: -She saw Jaz’s sheer power in action. -She continues to guard the cart and keep watch of the surroundings. -She is saving up some energy to do more damage and whatnot. -She remains on guard for now ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--- ARISU --- -better than watching paint dry- It was easy to hear that something was going on inside. She could hear yelling, and lots of it. Kirk, shouting about incoming and getting down or something. Angel, throwing herself into a prolonged speech about what she was and wasn't going to allow to happen. She seemed determined to sacrifice herself to protect Kirk and Rimma, which- was noble, and maybe one of the only real plays in this situation, with Risaka apparently out of commission, but it felt foolish to her either way. She couldn't put a name to why, though. It'd been a few moments since the last big bang, and all she heard was the other team. She grit her teeth- she didn't know the situation in there, and moving closer could well be the wrong move... but it was the one she had to make. If something had gone wrong and Jasmine was in trouble, that was their trump card- she'd do better putting her all into releasing Jasmine than trying to leverage her own skills for the rest of the match, that much was easy to see. Unless, of course, she failed... but that didn't bear consideration. Firewall wouldn't fail. Firewall had a duty to her team and her wards. Bracing herself internally, Arisu bit and chewed at the inside of her lip as she sprinted back the way she'd came, throwing herself to a quiet stop just before the large entrance leading into the area where Jasmine was facing the other team. Kirk- and Rimma, she presumed- were behind Angel, who was screaming something about how they needed to get free or it'd all be for nothing. Dark flames curled down around Arisu's hands as she glanced north- she still had their only aggressive approach on lock, and- Arisu whipped back from peeking around the corner the instant she saw Jasmine rushing towards the other team. Sure enough, a massive pair of explosions detonated within instants after she ducked around that corner again, but she didn't stay there. There were three ways out- backwards, towards her, or around her, and she couldn't waste time if there was even a chance they were coming her way. Snapping back around that corner, Arisu let loose two low-rolling bursts of black flame, low and aimed to curl around Jasmine's position towards Kirk and Angel's last location, hoping she might be able to dose the athlete again or maybe catch Angel if she was still standing after that attack, but once the shots were launched, she was focused on that north approach and crossing as she darted back towards the cart. Typhoon had an excellent point, and Arisu staked out the inside edge of the hairpin curve, taking up position beneath the bridge, far enough towards zone A where she could still see if someone tried to bolt across the north approach to get into the interior of that turn- if she spotted someone either on her way to stake out her position or afterwards, she'd be blasting them with their own personal dose of Antipyre brand Exhausting Vapors, patent pending! To boot, Pop Poet was lacing the area with her own persona deterrents, earning her a flaming thumbs-up from Arisu! "Good job. Draw them in. I'm ready for them," murmured Arisu quietly to Farrah, eyes still towards the path they'd already cleared. "As for Jasmine... I dunno what it takes to get to that level, but I'm determined to find out for myself, cuz... you're right. It is disheartening. She's amazing, and it sort of leaves the rest of us in contrast."-heard kirk yelling from inside -heard Angel yelling, too, and not much in the way of explosions -got worried, went to the edge of the entry into the interior section where Jas/Red team are fighting --ducked back as she saw Jasmine rush angel and the other team -whipped around the corner the instant after the explosions go off and let loose two-fisted blackfire towards where she'd seen Kirk and Angel standing, aiming around Jasmine and hoping to catch Kirk if he'd hid behind his pouch and Angel if she was still standing -ran back to catch up with the cart -acknowledge typhoon's warning and take up position at the upper edge of the hairpin turn, covered behind the wall and watching all open approaches to their position, ready to fire -quietly praise Pop Poet's trap! -"I dunno what it takes to get to that level, but I'm determined to find out for myself, cuz... you're right. It is disheartening. She's amazing, and it sort of leaves the rest of us in contrast." WORD COUNT: 783 TEMPLATE BY ELIZA @ BOTE & THQ

Once again, Angel proceeded to give one of these long heroic speeches, as they ran into B-sector. Kirk felt a little bit insulted by the fact that she considered herself their greatest asset due to having wings, even though he had been the one to help out during the chaotic situation too. "Well uh! ...Yeah I guess..." He mumbled. This was not the point in time to point out nitpicks... They were supposed to be handling the bigger problems! I like the big one coming right at them and slamming against her, but seemingly successfully knocking her down on her knees on the ground! Angel yelled heroically, and even Kirk was somewhat ready to lift up an arm and shout with her! but trying to pull out his own plan, and putting his energy on that... Well, only thing coming out of him was a victorious grunt...
Albeit sadly, he should have propably told them what his plan was, as an exchange happened between the two emotional girls... As the angelic proceeded to call the other one villain... "Aw dangit..." Now, Kirk was sort of positive fellow. Maybe Angel hadn't angered a superpowered trained hero teenager yet! Kirk on the other hand had angered quite a few in his first meetings! Especially a certain someone who had punched the other teams previous ace to the curve! And with a creepy "let's play..." He knew that they had done something pretty bad...
And the foreboding thought was pretty much immediately answered as the explosive girl started charging towards them again, Kirk having only a minute moment to turn a bit to get his backside towards her... Only to hear a foreboding... Boom.
and BOOM went the dynamite! Kirk could his bulked up pouches muscles slam against his inner back, as this humongous wave of flame and smoke smacked against it, Launching his tired body into a short flight into the air with a loud clench like groan! He didn't have much of a chance to see how Rimma or angel ended up, he sure felt the force of the blow! He couldn't help but kick his legs in the air to get some sort of balance! Only thing his body was screaming, was for bed and about how much this would smart in the morning... This must have been how Alex and Risaka felt like!
And as he landed on the bridge crossing over the road on his feet, he couldn't help but let out a loud "Ooooffff!!" As he fell onto his knees and spat a little... Man, why did he have to leave Risaka back there on her own... She could have propably done something proper other than just keep running and take hits... Heck, he had done pretty alright with the others but... even with that his skills were outmatched... He just wanted to slip down and... relax... like those funky bubbles were saying... He needed just a... little bit of time... to recuperate...
Suddenly he pushed himself up! An idea had struck him like lightning made out of adrenaline! While they were getting beat up proper, Risaka was literally gaining her strength back! All the while this explosive girl was using all her energy just to hunt them down! Of course, the trio was getting a little bit of time to rest, but if the boomlady was giving THEM this much trouble, Then Risaka most likely could kick The trios butts no sweat! And then afterwards, they could just walk off with their prizes!
He pushed himself back to standing as his thighs once again ached. Okay... How would darren describe this girl... "HEY LIONBITCH! BOOMTITTY!" ...Man his Grandpa would be dying out of shame or laughter at this... "THANKS FOR THE LIFT! PERFECT VANTAGE POINT TO DUNK THESE GIRLFRIENDS OF YOURS!" Of course those devils could already maybe see him... He had to get moving. "BET YOU CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THESE LEGS WARMED UP BY YOUR BABY BOOMERS!" He proceeded to continue running on this higher ground, occasionally grabbing a ball from his chest, and chucking it at Farrah pushing the cart...
Yeah, this was not exactly heroic... but it was certainly attention grabbing and voice cracking. The only thing he needed to do... was try to stay awake for a couple more minutes. And with how spooky the prospect of getting attacked by this Trio AND the "lionbitch" was... Yeah, he wouldn't be able to sleep for weeks. - Gets worried about what Angel is saying to explosive girl. - Worries turn out to be right, Gets launched for away! - Lands on the bridge in the second sector and is almost caught by tiredness. - A spark of adrenalin! - Mocks and taunts Jazmine to make her come his way. - Attacks quite pathetically towards Farrah with some semi-aimed baseballs. - LOUD NOISES TO DISTRACT YOU!

| O h this was going to hurt! That's the only thought that went through Angel's mind as she heard Jasmine's ominous declaration of "Let's play" before the living bomb once again rushed her and Kirk. As the fiery blonde came flying toward Angel the young winged girl tried to force her legs to move,but that all that happened was a sharp stabbing pain once again flowing through her legs as she stood still and had no choice but to brace herself for the pain to come! As the hot powerful explosion engulfed Angel's body she felt her body be pushed off of the ground as a burning sharp pain filled her whole body,she felt a good chunk of her remaining feather be burned away and worst of all the sounds of the world around her went silent as she force and heat of the explosion cracked her hearing aids beyond repair. "Ahhh!"As Angel landed hard on her back she felt more of her now scorched feathers scrape off as she skidded to a stop next to Kirk the force of which made Angel feel like she was gonna puke though she wouldn't say so out loud not that she could hear her own voice anymore anyway. As Angel saw Kirk get up once more to continue fighting Angel did her best to follow suit by rolling over to her hands and knees and slowly force herself back onto her two feet with her now almost shattered hearing aids falling to the ground as a result. It was quickly proven that standing back up was a mistake because as soon as she was on her feet she felt a familiar flame like quirk hit her back followed by the feeling of extreme exhaustion and the rest of her energy leaving her as Sue's quirk took effect. Despite being bruised,deaf,beaten and exhausted Angel tried to force herself to turn and run after Kirk,but as she tried to take a single step all that came was the feeling of her body giving out,the feeling of her face hitting the dirt and then the sweet embrace of unconciousness. The Angel of mercy despite having given it her all had been beaten. Things angel did: Got blasted back by Jasmine causing more of her feathers to be burned off and her hearing aids to shatter rendering her deaf.
Got hit by Sue's Anti pyre quirk which finished her off by draining the rest of her energy.
Got Ko-ed by the combo attack taking her out of the fight. |

RISAKA REINACHTU.A Student / Miss Gray
''Everyday I ask myself if I even should bother'' words 542 • tagged @ • notes | Risaka did not have a solid plan to follow anymore, you could say she overshot her original procedure to only bring a bigger obstacle to the table, which heavily aggravated her. Wanting to tear her own face off she could hear all the heroic chanting and trade of insults from the battle scene. Risaka had taken an alternative path, a small entrance next to the big one that connected between first and second area. She already know what it meant if she were to step through the entrance and into the second area, the gates would close and that could -everyone- hear. Risaka did not like this one bit, she didn't have the perfect overview of the place, and since she will walk down a mroe enclosed path from the outside to see she just had to hope for the best.
''If I want to obtain points it'd have to be in chunks, and by the sound of whats going on outside the newcomer seems to emitt alot of firepower, almost too much, she might drain herself a tad bit too fast at this rate, better keep the timing in check.''
She stepped right through the entrance, knowing that there was no return she took careful approaches to each corner she met, looking through any possible gaps to see whats going on outside. ''They must be halfway through second phase already, better keep moving on.'' She picked up the pace, travelling through the corridor to eventually reach a spacious room. Mentally she huffed to herself, here she had to be extra careful for where she walked because here there was plenty enough openings, even a pair of stairs. She must've reached extraction point B. ''Okay, I know where it is, easy enough to find..'' Not walkign directly past the exits of the room she carefully hid her being out of sight, she went up the stairs and peeked up. That was when the extra large explosion blew through the air. She only frowned from thinking how annoying it's gonna get with explosives, and to top it all of she saw Meathead fly up a bit and land right at the bridge, she didn't see him lay there due to a fence blocking her view between them, but that didn't stop her form knowing he was still going. ''God dammit, even more persistant than Alex... and what kind of nickname is Lionbitch Boomtitty? Not even I could come up with something like that, has meathead turned or what? Or maybe finally some backbone?'' While pondering about she took the opportunity to further peek from her location, starting to advance across the path that goes along the road below, peeking through a very tiny crack of the fence she saw the trio of girls by the cart and guarding so intensely, Risaka not realising that two of her teammates was nowhere to be seen. The end of area two was already in sight. ''We need three more, god dammit where are the small russian and winged girl? Whatever, meathead does a splendid job being a target for their Lionbitch Boomtitty... fuck, I'm starting to think the same thing!''
-2/3 downtime. -Priority number 1: stay out sight, she is very cautious of her steps. -She finds the extraction point and travels further, up the stairs. -Sees both Kirk and Angel fly from explosion, but cut quickly of sight with the plated fence in the way. -Sneaks on the upper level.

Ember exhaled sharply, crimson eyes watching ground zero intently. She was positive that one would be able to inflict some significant damage - she'd felt that one in her shoulders particularly well, if the hiss that followed the blast told any type of story. When the dust finally settled Jasmine was able to see the aftermath of her attack. A small smile came over her lips as she watched Angel go down, "What you did may be heroic, in some respects, but it's pretty stupid, too," she said. "Instead of throwing yourself into the fire against a stronger opponent, work with your team to take them down together. If this was an actual combat scenario you'd probably be dead right now." Harsh? Maybe. But sometimes some tough love did wonders. With that thought having been voiced, Jasmine blinked almost dumbly when she heard the... profanities (?) that meathead over there was shouting at her. Heck, she was hard pressed to refer to them as such. She stood there for a little while. Lionbitch boomtitty? Okay, I've been called a lot of names in my day, but lionbitch boomtitty? That's gotta be a new one, instead of pissing her off all Kirk's efforts really did was make her chuckle. If he wanted to actually anger her, he failed spectacularly. Jabs with no substance rarely did anything other than amuse her, especially when the American was fairly sure the plan was to get her angry so she'd fuck up somehow. Desperate, but not at all dumb.
"Aw man, I'd hoped I could take more of you down before y'all tucked tail and ran. Boring," was her very deliberate reply.
Instead Jasmine lowered her hands. Still fairly aware of what was going on, she hadn't dropped her guard for even a second as she made her way back to the cart. While she wasn't at all exhausted and was still rearing to go, the blonde needed to conserve her strength. The last couple of detonations had already begun clawing into her shoulders through the recoil and that shit stung like a motherfucker. Two fighters were already down for the count. Or, well, rather one was, namely Angel. The second one was the one Jasmine blasted into next week through her grand entrance - where the girl went was anyone's guess. Assuming both of them were down for the count, they still had Kirk and Risaka to deal with. Kirk wasn't much of a threat as he was now, but Risaka was another matter altogether. Jasmine was fairly certain the girl was saving her strength for one last push.
"Yo," Jasmine waved when she finally reached the cart and her teammates, taking inventory of personnel available as soon as she arrived. "Sorry for going AWOL right that for a while but I've managed to knock at least one of them out, the rest have scattered. Now if I'm not wrong they're probably going to try attacking us again, especially if Risaka's coming back which I assume is going to happen sooner rather than later. At this point we have the numbers advantage so let's use it and take this slow - make them come at us at our pace, not theirs. Let's get this cart to its destination safely, yeah?"
"Everyone pick a side. I'll take the back. Let's help each other out, yeah? Communicate. See anything out of the ordinary? Speak. And if they do attack us, we take them out together. No one-on-ones. Everyone in agreement?"

Post by Farrah di Prima on Mar 11, 2019 22:54:11 GMT -4
Farrah got the sense that most of her classmates were taking the time to regain their strength, which was good; she figured that if the enemies were going to regroup and catch their breaths, it only made sense that her own team ought to do the same. If they went all out and the enemies didn't show, they'd just be worn out for the third leg of the competition. "Ah ha ha... Well, Arisu, it's all good! Jaz will have criminals all fleeing the neighborhood! It should make us all feel joy to have such a student in heroic employ!" she spoke cheerfully, wishing she could convey the same message to her opponents, who might be feeling a bit frightened or perhaps having difficulty picturing such a dangerous person doing hero work. Then again, maybe she was the only one who'd had that problem.
By the sound of the explosions and the subsequent yelp of Kirk, it was hard to imagine that the big boy was thinking about anyone's alignment or future or anything right now. He was probably solely focused on the pain that had just been inflicted upon him. She winced through her beatbox noises, having recently become acquainted with feeling intense back pain herself. As for his verbal counterattack... even for her, it was a little difficult to figure out what he was talking about, but she appreciated the intensity! Kirk's never-say-die attitude had an effect on her, for certain.
What also had an effect on her, of course, was the slew of Kirk-balls being spiked towards her. Either ticked off by her taunting or perhaps just going after a target he'd had success with in the past, Kirk was making it rain all over Farrah's impromptu rap show. Last time, it had just been one ball, which had sniped her bubble like a precision instrument. This time, the number of bubbles was almost inconsequential; there was no way to use such a precise strategy while being effectively forced to play dodgeball. Farrah, for her part, became an interpretive dancer, lifting her legs and hopping around on one foot like an especially freeform ballerina to avoid the various projectiles coming in her direction. One of them hit one of her stuffed shoulders, knocking the stuffing out of it and connecting with impact that was certainly likely to leave a bruise later on.
... But if she thought about how much more Kirk had already weathered, it reminded Farrah that she needed to keep fighting, even if all she could manage to be was a distraction. "You've got balls! But can you keep pace? Can you match my dancing, elegant grace?! I can keep just keep dancing; you'll never stop me! Even if you manage to successfully bop me!" she teased, pausing to stick out her butt towards her opponent tauntingly, kicking up the back of her coat to expose her slacks. Just then, a ball ripped through the air; she did a split-legged jump, the kind she would later practice in her cheer-leading club, to dodge it. "Yowza! That one went right for my bum! I would have felt that tomorrow and then some!" she whistled. Even her breathing exercises were beginning to feel a bit inadequate for all this dodging.
In all of this, Farrah couldn't help but notice the absence of her girlfriend, who was typically omnipresent on the battlefield, both acting as self-appointed leader of the other team to issue commands and also taking to the skies, flying in eye-catching evasive patterns. Thinking back to it, Kirk hadn't been the only one who had cried out from Jaz's attacks: she'd also heard Angel's, albeit much less loud. She'd interpreted at the time that meant Kirk had been hit a lot harder, but that wasn't true at all; the fact that Angel hadn't rejoined the battle made her condition much more evident. Farrah's worry gradually increased, to the point that she was no longer having fun dodging Kirk's attacks; she became aware of the sweat on her brow, the increasing heaviness of her limbs, and worst of all, the lack of Angel's presence.
"Kirk! Excuse me! I know you're my opponent, but it seems we're missing a critical component! Is Angel okay? Hiding, taken up place? I'd feel somewhat comforted to see her face," she asked somewhat timidly, setting aside their rival status for the moment. This was Farrah's first hero exercise; she didn't want to blow it, but she couldn't simply ignore the possibility that Angel had gotten incinerated in a fiery explosion and no one had noticed or stopped the match for it. It was a horrifying thought, and pretty much an impossibility, her logic told her... but she couldn't help worrying all the same. To proceed without asking about it would be impossible for her.
For that matter, she hadn't spotted Risaka or Rimma either, but she hadn't heard them yell, either. Presumably, that meant that those two were comparatively okay. In fact, they might be better than okay: they might be resting up, regaining their strength, and preparing to attack. Farrah hoped Arisu and Feng had something up their sleeves, because she was using all her stamina just keeping Kirk in check, and with her mind focused on her missing friends, there wasn't any capacity left for strategics.
The team strategy came from a surprising place: Jaz rejoined the others on the cart, then came up with a simple plan to protect the cart from attackers. There was only one problem, in Farrah's view: maybe the others hadn't caught it yet, but Kirk was already taking pretty persistent potshots at her; she wasn't just dancing for her health and happiness this time. "I think I will continue to protect this one! If I break my focus now, I could be undone!" she spoke in a breathy voice, twirling to the side to dodge another ball. She wasn't protecting that side, so much as she was pinned down with no way to fight back. Kirk's balls were fast and her bubbles were slow; without time to set up or at least a close-range battle, she was reduced to nothing more than the real-life equivalent of an MMO taunt-tank.
-----------
WC 1035
-Farrah dodges Kirk's balls but gets beaned by one on the shoulder! The bruise is worse than it looks and her arm feels heavy. -Farrah continues to dance to draw Kirk's fire. -Farrah asks Kirk if Angel is okay, since she hasn't seen her since Jaz's blast. -Farrah hears Jaz's plan but can't do much more than defend the side of the cart facing the overhead area where Kirk is running.
