God, it felt good to have another assignment.
Her team had practically jumped for joy when the Commission put out a Level 4. Kanae herself had even cracked open a fresh bottle of JD to celebrate. Some might find it strange, hell, even questionable, that a group of trained Special Assault Team members was excited at the prospect of a challenging job. They'd probably be right to be concerned. Like hell that would dissuade them, though. Kanae's Tiger Unit lived for their jobs, she made sure to pick men and women who could give their all when the odds were stacked against them. The kind of people who, when faced with superpowered terrorists and gangs, had the balls to say;
"So what?"
Unfortunately for them, the government's little superhero experiment meant that the Tiger Unit had been getting less action for a while. They'd been working easy assignments, to let the big wigs in the PSC test out their undertrained and overhyped 'Pro Heroes'. Hence why Kanae Gushiken and her team had been keen to get in on the action with Operation Sea Priest.
Kanae herself was giving her all to make sure it was an overwhelming success. Even in the early hours of the morning, she'd reported to the Minato HQ, getting some training in before her team had another strategy briefing. Luckily enough the HQ had its own little gym and sparring area, perfect for working up a sweat and making certain her body was in peak condition.
Having stowed away her stuff ina gym locker, Kanae was presently in the gym wearing simple, tight-fitting exercise gear. Her impressive musculature was on full display as she worked a punching bag, her fists protected by a thick wrapping as she pounded it with punch after punch. Every hit had to count - in action, every hit did count.
Doing her damndest to complete this assignment was a given for her. For one part, the bastards who were trying to get their hands on the militech would be a lot more dangerous if they had it. Although she still felt Okinawan pride, Kanae wasn't about to let them do jack shit to her hometown. For another part... She seriously wanted to show those Heroes how it's done. Her competitiveness was kept in check, but even still, Kanae was keen to make it clear to them that this wasn't about just flashy superpowers. More than that...
A powerful punch rammed into the bag, a meaty sound echoing through the gym as she grinned, her one good fixating on it.
More than that, it was about guts.

This assignment was a doozy and good change to her standard patrols of her region.
Freya’s team was rather disheartened that they can’t join in the operation due to fears being spread too thin. But she did reassure the unit as leader that she will do all within her power to represent the “Hellhounds” in the best way.
A unit filled with trouble makers hell raisers and the like that is tasked with taking down villains when a normal pro hero can’t do it. Though despite being the most wild ones of the bunch, they enjoy their work if it means doing their job without the watchful high of hardasses up above. A bunch of idiots who see a crowd of rampaging powered individuals and is ready to take them on with a shield and baton.Though they are a bit too loud for her liking and none of em can hold their drinks for the life of them.
However due to the increased workload of taking on the ever so frequent quirk user gone mad, they have ran themselves ragged. As much as they love their jobs and doing it, a part of them wants a day off from the danger. The easy jobs are far inbetween and with how diverse quirks are, it's always a new surprise with every job. So some of the guys were relieved that the job was already covered by another district while others were dejected over not getting in the action. However Freya was dissatisfied with the situation, implores and signs up for the event so she wouldn't get bored.
She was at the place of her own volition and she was giving it her all to not fall behind the rest. But a day such as they are reserved for training and it was decided on the spot once she learned of the training facilities. In her normal training gear comprised of a tank top and sweatpants but still showing off her build to the world. Her fists were already wrapped as she wanted to get to training as soon as possible. To the point where she jogged her way there and was already warmed up to cut down on time. Though to her surprise there was someone else there and she had the same plan as Freya from what she can assume. From the looks of her she was going in hard already and was hyper focused in her bag. A glint of excitement could be seen in her eyes as she took another punching bag near her.
She immediately started working on the bag, throwing a mix of punches and kicks to make sure she was making proper use of her movements.Albeit she was going harder and faster than the lady in the gym due to her competitive nature. Feeling every meaty hit as each punch hit the punching bag.

Kanae was pretty good at picking people out.
When the fiery-haired woman entered the gym, the hardened cop read her as one of the Pro Heroes right away. First and foremost, Kanae hadn't seen her face around there yet. Given that the place was being overrun by Heroes, it was the easiest assumption to guess that any unfamiliar well-sculpted individual ranked among these superpowered servants of the public.
Plus, Kanae was pretty damn sure that if there was a woman like this around, she would've known about it.
Her pace slowed a bit as her one good eye tracked the woman, watching her mosey on up to her own punching bag. Her physique wasn't bad at all. One of Kanae's biggest gripes was Heroes who relied on their fuckin' superpowers so much that they didn't have a speck of muscle on them. It didn't matter how big your fireballs were, being a string bean didn't do you any favors.
The other woman went in hard, putting a half-grin on Kanae's face. In a bit of competitive spirit, she picked up the pace herself, the thunderous duo filling the area with the satisfying hits of fists into the bags. Kanae mixed things up herself, throwing in some kicks and the CQC training she'd gotten. In Japan, such abilities were extremely important, perhaps as important as marksmanship for a Special Assault Team officer.
Finishing off with a powerful obverse punch to the bag, Kanae paused for a moment to catch her breath, watching the other woman for a few moments more. After a few seconds, Kanaea casually stepped to the side, pressing her palm hard and fast into the other woman's punching bag just as a punch landed, stopping the bag from moving too much.
It was about time some introductions were made. Kanae wanted to size up the competition, after all.
Her lone eye scanned the woman, as Kanae nodded her head in greeting. "Hey." She greeted simply, a slight smugness in her tone. "Forgive my interruptin', but you're one of the new Heroes in here, huh? For the big Op." Were it familiar to Freya, she might pick up the slight Okinawan accent.
Kanae raised two fingers to her brow, giving a grin and playful salute. "Kanae Gushiken. I'm with the SAT. That's the Japanese SWAT, more or less. I'll be working with you and your lot for this whole raid, so... Better make a nice introduction."

Seems like the other lady in the gym has noticed her and she felt her gaze on her for quite a bit. As she went in on the bag, she is figuring out her role in this operation since there's a good number of heroes already on this operation. Makes a woman wonder who is she gonna be assigned to. She continued to work on the bag to get out the anxiety and to think up a plan on what to do once she is assigned an area of choice. She damn knows sure that she can’t keep relying on her quirk and she knows that the gap between her and the bigger heroes is enormous.
The fact of that drives her to keep getting stronger to see how much she can do during this operation. A part of her wonders if she would have at least brought along someone else of her squad with her. Hell it makes things easier as she has someone to talk to and someone to take notes when the operation starts.
The other occupant of the gym then went up to talk to her, as she finished another set. She asked an obvious question but then she elaborated on her question which is fair considering the place is crawling with heroes. She introduces herself and to her surprise she is the leader of the other team that took up the op. A part of her should be somewhat envious that she got chosen for it, but then again she should be thankful since her team could finally get some rest.
Freya introduces herself with her default tone of voice which could come off as somewhat fierce.” Name’s Freya Valentine. Leader of the Hell-hounds, a branch that is sent out to deal with situations dealing with quirkers and big riots. Good to meet ya sister…” she says as she extends her hand out in greeting. Nonetheless, she can put personal feelings aside as she knows how SAT usually works and she can bet her money that they know their work.
“This OP is gonna be big and sitting still aint right... training is gonna help in every way possible. Nice to see that others share the same sentiment.”she states as she picks up her water bottle and takes a swig of it. Sizing up the girl from a glance and she looks like she knows what she's doing. A part of her wonders if she would ask for a light sparring match to warm up to get the senses ready for this. But to keep it professional and to keep it that way, she will refrain for now.

Hellhounds, huh?
Kanae had heard the name before, familiar as she was with the different units of the police. As Freya herself described, they were a specialized branch that dealt with Quirkers and riots. Not too dissimilar from Tiger Unit, except Kanae's own men focused on more special operations. Covert infiltration, hostage situations, and perhaps most importantly - securing hostile territory and counter-terrorism ops. "Pleasure to meet ya, Miss Valentine. Heard o' you and your boys, glad to have ya with us." Kanae said with a grin, shaking the other woman's hand firmly. Those competitive fires were being stoked even more, as Kanae become quite keen on the idea of tussling with another unit lead.
Freya was training freak too from the looks of things, Kanae grinning widely at her as ideas came to mind. "Y'know, that goes double for us Quirkless. Ain't got the luxury of superpowers, just got grit, guns and muscle." Kanae declared heartily, stretching out her own well-toned arms. "'Course, everyone needs trainin'. It's what keeps ya alive on the field. So, that bein said..."
Crossing her arms, Kanae gestured her head towards one of the sparring rings at the other end of the gym, winking with her one good eye. "Whaddaya say we make sure we both make it through this op, go a few rounds? I'll go easy on ya if you want." That last taunt was accompanied with a wide, teasing grin. It was about time she showed off a bit, and saw what the leader of one of the esteemed specialist police units could do.

Seems like this girl has the same mentality as Freya when it comes to training. Always welcome discovery about someone and seems like she does double the work since she is quirkless. Hell, she can relate considering half of her team are in the same boat and the ones who have quirks ain't exactly flashy and powerful. Which reminds her that some dissatisfied members of her unit are going to joining later in the op, specifically the big trouble makers who has had her back. Pretty badass nonetheless that quirkless are out there who are willing to go toe to toe with super powered criminals. Since she was the one who asked for a sparring match, so it makes it a whole lot easier to see what this girl is made of.
“I'll take you up on your offer, like hell I’ll use my quirk as a crutch in place of proper training...you're on !”She remarked as woman shook her hand. A handshake could tell a lot about a person and she could feel, this girl is serious about her work. It also helps to take up on her offer so it: helps to not lose face and it builds up a bridge between the branches. Fighting against someone without her quirk is also gonna help build some character and find her faults.
She grinned as she fixed her stuff and went into the proper area to spar in.She cracked her neck and knuckles to ready up. “I'm ready when you are...because I’m ready to rock out !”, she exclaimed energetically as she gets into a fighting stance.

They were getting along like peas in a pod. Both women were keen on putting themselves in top physical condition for the upcoming operation, and neither were all too impressed by flashy shit without any substance. They understood the importance of pure grit and harsh training, the kind that made them a criminal's worst bloody nightmare. So, if they trained together... It was sure as shit gonna be fruitful, so much so, that all those damned crooks were gonna be shitting themselves on the night of the operation.
"You're speakin' my language, sister. Let's do this." Kanae said heartily at the acceptance of her offer. They shook hands, both of them with a firm grip and clearly serious about their work. They were a pair of powerhouses, that was for sure. Kanae Gushiken wasn't usually the biggest fan of Heroes, but Freya was clearly more than just a flashy, Quirked celebrity. This was a fellow professional.
Stretching her neck as she set her things aside, Kanae walked into the sparring area, facing her opponent and grinning. Looked like she was gonna be throwing the first punch, with Frey inviting her to start their dance. "Alright then, time to show you how the Tigers do it!"
With fury and vigor, Kanae launched forward, beginning with a powerful offensive as she threw in a reverse punch to the jaw, following it up by advancing with a side elbow to the temple. Tigers didn't fuck around, they used their strength to tear right into their prey, and Kanae was gonna use those claws and jaws of hers!

Now this girl is speaking her language ! She was never good with wordy introductions since they tend to drag and not tell a lot about a person in the end. A sparring match cracks open the shell and showcases a person's skills and personality with movements alone. The hellhounds friday fight clubs were the prime way to release stress and settle grudges. Shit like that does land her in trouble but it builds character and connections between members. Though none of em could keep up with her, so it also helps establish who is top dog and who needs to step up their game. A fucking festival of fun this operation is going to be if women like this are in the force.
But back to the sparring match at hand as Tiger took the first move against her and good christ she was fast. She must've been training like hell if she can move like this without a quirk. A sign of hardwork and guts if she has ever seen one.
The hit was fast but Freya took a boxers stance and guarded against both hits. Give or take both of those hits hurt like hell but she can’t exactly dodge those hits like they were nothing. But she won’t let this deter her from a fight like this!"Look's like I'm gonna have show ya how the Hellhounds greet people with guts!" As soon as she found an opening in her guard, she went in and did two jabs aimed at the girls center and an uppercut to the jaw. Hellhounds ain’t no novices to the game and shell have to release the dogs of war against these ferocious felines of the force.
Quirks are useful as hell but a good old bare knuckle boxing are just as good as any power. In the end, using a quirk as a crutch for actual power won’t get someone far. Gotta have grit and heart.

No need for wordy introductions, or any other overly dramatic bullshit. Just jumping right into the slugfest, that was how Kanae got her kicks from this bare-knuckle fever that had come over them. The woman opened with a brief combo to gauge Freya's own style, her own guts and her own determination. With a grin in her face, the woman's attacks landed into that strong guard of hers, glad already that the other woman didn't just buckle under the strength!
Hell, even the fact the other woman wasn't using her Quirk was worthy enough of respect. Freya had pride in her work and her own physical ability, made clear with her own counterattack. Kanae's eyes widened at the canine's ferocity, raising her guard to those fierce jabs, with the quick uppercut almost catching her clean on the chin. Swaying back and staggering a bit as it grazed her, Kanae was smiling already. Truth was, she never actually understood how people with Quirks even had fun fighting.
Cause nothing could beat the purity of the first weapon man ever made use of.
Lunging in again, this time Kanae bobbed to the side, ducking around and throwing a quick hook to Freya's side, aiming right for the liver, before pivoting around again, this time throwing an opposite hook to the jaw. Stay on her prey, and keep on bitin'. That was how a tiger did it, and Kanae would peek trying to pressure the other woman in close range to emulate that very same beast.

Now this is a goddamn conversation if I say so myself. This girl knows how to fight and it shows from her strikes to how she carries herself. Albeit I’ll give her a point, she has better training in hand to hand combat than my dumbass. Mostly playing this ear and see how far I can get compared to that tragedy of a sparring session against Ol’Redhorn.
This girls got guts and god damn she is passing with flying colors. No wonder her unit got first serve on an operation like this. Being quirkless ain't exactly easy for law enforcement considering the added danger of random it can get. Some asshole could be a dragon or can shoot acid out of their mouths and it's up to people like us to deal with em daily.
Wait..
What is she doing, what are these movements, why does that seem fa- there goes the liver and FUCK my chin. She aint letting up huh, well then a hound is hit- A HOUND WILL HIT BACK.
Freya starts to get a read on Kanae’s movements and then after a few more seconds of getting hit, it was show time. As Kanae kept dashing, Freya took a boxer’s stance and moved in closer and to interrupt her momentum. She would soon followed up with a few short jabs to the chest and stomach. Then going for a feint into a mean left hook.
Fighting without a quirk is damn fun that's for sure! Quirks makes some above of the people in the business stuck up as hell. But when it comes to a fight and with no quirk, it brings them down a level. In essence, a fight is where I can truly feel human again.
