Saving Private Kobayashi [ST-Minievent]

It was a bit odd having the head Principal being the protective target along this. But then again smelly stinky humans that had died being foes as well as also hardly the norm so it wasn't like this wasn't already a night of unknown chaos. Perry would never understand how humans EVER survived let alone remained at the top of the metaphorical food chain as long as they did... But time for such talk and speculation on the failures of human society and superiority would have to wait for another evening.

Perry had gassed up and quickly tuned his plane that remained on standby nearby. It had been getting a real workout when it came to aiding people and supporting heroes making sure as many people were safe and accounted for. He was ready for the big job too as he said tapping his little furry chin carrying his own aura of authority that far extended his physical height in presence.

"Hopefully the crew is okay... But I would expect the worst. These are some strong students and with myself aiding as well I think we can get you there just find Mr. Boss." He'd say given in his minds eye the Principal was the alpha and lead of the school sorta like the Alpha of the pack and a grand heroic pack of that as the lead of all the Joey's in the educational facility. Perry softly tapped his chin still clothed in his pilots Jacket and hat as well as the pilots white scarf still secured to his neck giving him all the image of a tiny pilot from days long passed in wars long fought of years prior. Perry had recruited some minor help in the background that was quickly reloading his tiny planes guns with the toothpick metal ammunition he used often. Usually lethal enough to bring someone to a halt but enough to kill as was the way of heroes.

Bura was admittedly rather excited to help with the more aggressive efforts of this siege. But for some reason, they put him on 'flex' duty which while importing felt wasted on him-Bura wanted to prove himself, after his mess, that was the exhibition match. But as Bura moved literal tons of wires and other stuff back and forth that the frontline needed and even got into small scuffles at the walls with zombies. But nothing truly blood pumping or excited, until Bura and the rest of the Perry squad got summoned to the gym.

Where Taka Sensei and the Principal were arguing loudly, Bura caught most of it as the group approaches the pair. Bura followed behind Perry Sensei with a sense of duty as he prepared to get his commands and guidelines for the upcoming job- if it's with the principal, it should be better than Flex duties. And by god was it.

Bura admittedly felt a bit anxious by what Principal Kobayashi suggested, a mission to find a helicopter that contained a weapon of sorts to deal with the zombies. But the grim part came from the fact that if the principal died-that they would take his hand and head. Bura bit his bottom lip for just a moment before he looks over the man and says,"Understood Kobayashi sensei." Bura said as his eyes glint brightly for a second before going back to its subtle glow.

And Perry started to plan things out amongst the Perry Crew. Bura listened intently at his sensei when Perry started to praise him-his potential and power. Bura did his best to keep a straight face-despite his mess-up at the exhibition match with Chimera-Senpai the teachers and others still believed him and still thought he had potential. Perry even gave him the role of the primary protector of Kobayashi. Bura gave the teacher and Principal a confidant smile and says, "I will do my best, Sensei, and nothing will stop us from reaching that Helicopter Principal Kobayashi!" as he pumped a large bulging bicep, and a wink at the crew hoping to lighten the mood.

Once perry-Sensei handed the crew their com systems to contact each other- Bura quickly tied the piece of tech behind his ear in an elaborate braid before looking at the others and giving them a thumbs up.

The next to speak was the angelic girl and as expected of such angelic-looking girl-she was optimistic, yet a little savage. Bura was both horrified yet impressed by such a savage power move. But her speech was far more telling of who Angel was as a person. A person who cares for results and willing to put people under the bus if it makes them reach the goal if her presumptuous guess that they are all willing to die. Which Bura wasn't quite prepared to do just yet nor wanted as an option.

Bura lets out a sigh as it came to his turn to talk, "I am Burabura Buruburu, but please call me Bura." Bura started with a smile before going on- "Since it's easy to guess my quirk I won't go into much detail about it, but know that as a future pro-hero I will do everything in my power to protect you-But if things come to it-I will accomplish the mission no matter what-Principal Kobayashi-rather you are alive or dead as per your request- for a hero can't save everybody-but it is our duties to try- and if we can't- every life saved is worth the effort- all we can do is our best." Bura spoke grim words but yet he never lost his confidence or cool, never again if he could.

He will let his emotions and rage fuel him and not burn himself out like with Kiersa or Chimera. He will be strong for everybody here-no matter what.

Zombies? Really?...How fascinating! Kyouko was amazed at the limitless potential such quirks had and reanimating dead bodies was certainly something she never would have thought of. Kyouko began to wonder how the person who created such creatures find out about their quirk. To get to know how they went about training such a quirk in their society was such an interesting idea. She couldn't help herself from letting her mind wander as she tried to do some of the menial tasks she was given for their group. She always found horror and science fiction as interesting concepts, but for them to happen in real life was such a surprise to her. Kyouko wanted to leave the area and find a safe place to hide out while studying the creature's movements and patterns. Did they get orders delivered to them by a brain wavelength or was a single command how they functioned? Were they brainless and lacked their sense of thought or did they move as fluidly as humans? What about quirks could the deceased body of a quirk user be used to the creator's advantage? Oh, the possibilities were endless and Kyouko wanted to learn all of its advantages and disadvantages.

Kyouko would have t hide her excitement to study the creature's habits and mannerisms for later though as right now she did need to focus on the task at hand. She was assigned to the flex group where they would take care of some minor things around the campus helping other areas and keeping the school safe. There wasn't too much action going on for them and honestly, Kyouko felt a tad useless in this situation. She wasn't a glorified maid or servant, but a student at the school. Shouldn't she be out there helping the other students out defending or at the very least out in the field studying the enemy to help give information for the group? With her athletic abilities and the use of her quirk, her mobility was very god, especially in the city-scape. She could help provide vantage points from areas most other students might not be able to reach. Sure she wasn't an airborne student, but a mid-height survey was a good too right? Still, despite the fact she felt her talents were being unused she wasn't about to disrespect the orders given to her by her superiors or teachers. That was just asking for trouble and if this school was her escape from her home life being forced back to it would be like an ex-convict going back to prison. Kyouko wouldn't allow herself to do that and she would swallow any pride she had for herself to continue her instructions as given.

Speaking of instructions they were now going to be given new instructions by two special people. Principal Kobayashi and Keiko Taka were standing outside the gym and it seemed like they were arguing previously. This caused Kyouko to tilt her head as she got closer to them to see what was going on. What could be going on that would force the two to be in such a heated debate? Her nosey self wanted to find out so she tried her best to get within earshot to hear what they were talking about only for them to stop speaking as the group of them got closer. Wait, group? Oh yeah, she had been assigned to a teacher and some other students in this group to get things done. Kyouko had almost forgotten about the rest of the team in her daydream earlier. They were working together and if it weren't for the fact she had to meet the majority of them previously they would have been strangers to her. Yuhiko was a classmate whom she didn't talk to much, but she did enjoy pushing his buttons from time to time. He always got so annoyed and angry and Kyouko much enjoyed seeing his reactions. Perry of course was a teacher so seeing him was a given and the fact she got to experience a cookout with him was another bonus. Kyouko had met Bura out on the grounds close to curfew screaming and she did her best to help him with the help of some other girls so that left only Angel. She knew nothing about this girl other than she was an upperclassman so hopefully during this team-up, she would get to know the girl more.

Once they were close enough to the two mentioned previously they were given a special mission just for their team. Did that mean they would be going out in the field? Kyouko got excited just thinking about the possibility to examine the zombie-like creatures with freedom and without prosecution. Kyouko wanted to intel further about them from the principal, but it seemed like he was having thoughts about the situation at hand. Especially from the sounds of it, the escort mission of him wasn't something he approved of. Kyouko honestly questioned this herself why send a few first-years to protect the principal of the school? Wouldn't it be better to send a couple of third years or even some teachers to make sure he stayed safe? If the weapon used to stop the creatures was so valuable and the principal was the only one who could open it wouldn't it be better to have people more suited for combat and protection be entitled? This didn't seem like a well thought out plan, but rather a spur of the moment decision and if Kyouko had to guess based upon the argument previously Keiko Taka was most likely the culprit of this decision.

Kyouko listened intently to the instructions given and it was sounding a bit grim overall especially the part about having to use the principals severed head and hand. Did he not have any faith in his survival? Or better yet in the capabilities of his students? Sure they were a majority of first years, but they had been training their quirks for so long already so they should be able to keep a single man alive right? Kyouko wanted to say something about this, but she was cut off before she could even have a chance to. The girl with wings seemed to focus and determined it was both admiral and a tad annoying. Kyouko would like to voice her own opinions about the girl and her almost severe attitude, but then again the group also had Yuhiko so maybe having two strict people in the group would balance out the more excitable members of their team.

Perry would then speak making a plan of advancement using the air for two of them while the rest defended on the ground. A plan was always good and it made this mission that seemed like something that happened on a whim seemed more plausible and able to succeed. He even gave Bura lots of compliments which made Kyouko smile. The big softie he was probably would much appreciate the praise if not become embarrassed by it, but to her surprise, he wasn't. Rather Bura seemed so cool and collected this time rather than their last encounter. "Wow you seem so calm today Bura I'm impressed!," Kyouko said this without really thinking about her words. She honestly was very happy for the gentle giant of wooly proportions. Though she ended up laughing when he pumped his bicep and winked at the group. "Oh yes we will be sure to rely on your strength fully," She gave Bura a coy smile and winked herself as an attempt to tease him. Kyouko did feel he was very reliable, but he was also another one she enjoyed toying around with, but in a more positive manner instead of an antagonizing way. Honestly, why were people so fun to play with? If she knew Angel better she would mess with her too, but for now, she would have to study her before choosing her method of attack.

As the conversations continued going Angel mentioned this special attack of hers that while would be useful for a pocketed move in dire situations didn't seem all that practical. Kyouko couldn't help and interject about the move and say, "If it takes so much of your energy we should probably not rely on it even as an option. We will need you to stay airborne as much as possible for Perry-sensei's battle strategy to work out." She said all this as she put tired to put the communicator in her ear to the best of her ability. Because of her quirk depending on the situation, it might have issues staying in tack or her ear because of her quirk. Probably one of the many disadvantages of her quirk of its inaccessibility to wear hats or earmuffs. So hopefully the communicator could survive her quirk.

Bura came to talk again after the winged woman and he would introduce himself while also telling the principal he would get the job done. "Wow," Kyouko said a little louder than she meant to. Where had the cute giant she had seen crying in the bushes gone to? Who was this tall and strong sounding man before her? Kyouko was impressed completely by Bura's change of character. That being said she could have just met him on an off day and he was normally like this. Kyouko was beginning to realize how much she didn't know people in the school at this moment. Was her over-friendly nature pushing people away from her and did everyone think of her as a nuisance? She wondered maybe she wasn't cut out to be here like the rest of them. Kyouko shook her head in an attempt to get the dark thoughts out of her mind. She gave a small smile and decided to introduce herself as well, "My name is Kyouko Kaminoke and my quirk deals with the manipulation of the hair on my head." Taking her hair out of its normal long pony tail so it falls to its full length she continued her explanation, "I can adjust the length and density of each hair strand for combat and movement ease." She looked at Perry-sensei and added, "I can move ahead of the group off the ground to help survey and watch for openings in areas while we head to the targeted destination as my hair can be used for grappling purposes too." She put her hair tie in her pocket and finished up with, "I can also increase the density of each strand and once I remove them from my head they will stay in their dense shape. We can use this as a trail in case we want to try and avoid as much combat as possible." Her quirk had a lot of uses to it, but at the same time was one of the most limited quirks as it dealt with each strand of her hair. She was proud of her quirk so hopefully, it would be of some use for the team.

Kyouko did notice that Yuhiko hadn't talked much during this discussion and decided to speak towards him herself. "Why don't you introduce yourself and explain your quirk. Being knowledgeable of your teammate's abilities would help us plan our movements a lot better," she gave Yuhiko a smile that turned into a sneer before adding, "Unless you are ashamed of your quirk." If she had to place a bet she was certain he wasn't why else would he be at this school? Rather this was just to rile him up a bit and be more communicative to the team. After all, teamwork relied on communication and she wasn't about the let him be the wet blanket that holds them back because he was too grumpy to share. If he didn't she would have to start referring to him as Mr grumpy britches from now on that would certainly get him to act more like a teammate or at the very least cause him to participate in their comradery.

Things had been going well or as well as could be expected one might say for awhile. They had done well dispatching various undead from point to point as they attempted to near their objective as best they could. Of course from the destruction, abandoned vehicles, and the bodies... it wasn't exactly a clean shot to the main objective. They had to move quickly but at a stead pace as well given all that chose to stand in their way this evening both living or inanimate objects alike. The small sputter of his biplane engine still kept moving along strong as they continued onward though Perry occasionally giving small commands or information from a birds eye view via the radios he'd handed out to his team. His tail fin stained lightly with a bit of gooey gelatinous blood from a undead encounter that had been to close for comfort in a dive gun maneuver.

They had eventually come along a bus with various humans atop of it scrambling to defend themselves and only one of them a soldier it seemed armed to protect them. Skeletons leaped around the bus causing damage and reaching for their tender morsels of prey. As well as some large beast that seemed like something out of Perry's nightmares when he binged horror movies on Netflix all night. He quickly would come over the radio at the bus that was *EAST* to their location.

"Good buddies this is PawMight up high, We got several skeletons causing a whole heap of issues just a head. We gotta stop that big beefcake before it rots all over these good folks!" He'd say briefly as he sputtered by above occasionally a little puff or two of smoke trailing behind the little red and stained plane.

"Angel, Yuhiko, Help that bus and the soldier! Clear out those bone heads as quick as can be and get back with us. Keep the principal at a safe distance for now. When you clear them join Me, Bura, and Kyouko." He'd say sputtering his plan forward as quickly reloaded his small plane guns after the encounters earlier with the undead nightmares.

"Bura time to put that big size to good use! We need a wall to slow this mutha down! Charge east and show it the bulls horns good buddy, Kyouko let's put that hair to good use. Tie that thing down we gotta slow it down so we can keep it at bay until the others show up and we wallop this son of a bitch together! Yeeehawww!" He said quickly trying to get the orders out and a sense of common seemingly excited for the battle at hand as well in his own little fuzzy spirited way. "The plan is out this is PawMight over and out I'm east bound and down!" He'd say before clicking his radio off and taking several strafing runs soaring ahead of the back attempting to shower small metallic toothpick bullets into the things knees and lower section to hopefully either slow it down it make it easier for the other two to halt it a bit as well.

During the meeting, Bura couldn't help sheepishly chuckle as Kyouko complemented his strength and his calmness. "Hehe- I've grown a bit since we last met, Kyouko-I never got to thank for that night though-So I will repay your kindness by doing my best to protect you and the others!" Bura brightly said as he punched the palm of his one hand with his other hand. "Those zombies won't know what hit them! Right, Kyouko!" Bura tried to pump up the crew with some energy.

And with that, the small talk was over. And the crew started to make the way to the target destination. The first hurdle was hardly any trouble- the first-years were collectively strong and smart enough to deal with them all rather quickly with minimal input from their superiors. Bura himself took down a decent number of them himself without much help at all- with a mix of brutal strength and help from his fellow first years. After the group disposed of the first wave of trouble, Bura gave the group a thumbs up and said- "We Gotta keep up the good job crew!" Bura said as he smiles to them all, which with the bits of zombie blood covering his hands and upper body looked a bit morbid. But Bura ignored it and thankfully was smart enough to bring sanitation supplies to keep the group clean-he handed some to Kyouko so she could clean her hair as they go on forward.

The walk through the neighborhood nearby UA felt the eeriest part of this whole night so far. Bura looked through the windows- and every time his gaze meets the eyes of another, they looked horrified for a moment and hideaway deeper into their homes. Bura couldn't figure out why-until he remembered his eyes glow now. And Bura, with a deep sigh, made sure not to meet eyes with others in the house to make sure not to scare them anymore then the night has already done. The principal's words didn't bring him any comfort. But he said in a low yet soft voice, "That's all we can hope for these people." Bura marched forward with the group.

And then the first real trouble came to them. A group of civilians hurt and hiding from monsters- and a single solder doing his best to protect them. Bura's eyes glowed an intense glow for a moment before he shakes his head and collected himself as Perry's radio in his wool came to life, and he got his assignment with Kyouko. Bura nodded his head as he was about to collect the principal and hide him away, but that upperclassman got him good-Leaves him more time to deal with the monster. Bura pressed his radio and repeated, "Over and out, Pawmight!" Bura says as he looks over to Kyouko with a broad smile and says, "Ready Partner? I am!" Bura says as he started charging eastward towards the charging behemoth.

Bura charged full speed ahead at the monster-despite it being faster than Bura himself, but he can intercept it if he cuts it off from the side on its mad dash towards the bus. -While making sure to avoid Perry's plane bullets while he does so- Which Bura proceeded to attempt to do-using all of weight and strength in his body to slow down the charge by tackling it. Then grabbing it by its massive wrists to keep it from swiping at him and using all the strength in his hands to try and even break them to make it less dangerous for everybody involved. Bura's red eyes were glowing as brightly as car lights. Showing he wasn't messing around-Thank you Mosa- for helping to control and focus my rage, Bura Thought as his body started to burn with anger and mirth in equal measures at being able to go all out. But still focused enough to make use of tactics and his martial arts, everybody here right now will live even if he has to tear this monster apart with his very hands!!!

Kyouko giggled at Bura's comment to her about him growing and she teased back, "Well I'll be in your big strong capable hands then." Kyouko gave the giant sheepman a wink before turning her attention back to Yuhiko who began to explain his quirk while trying to berate Kyouko for knowing full well what his quirk was. When he did finish talking about his quirk and asking if his answer was suitable enough an obvious jab at Kyouko she responded with, "See now that wasn't too hard now was it? You really should participate in conversations more. After all, sharing is caring." She wanted to add a comment about him probably being the type to be alone in a sandbox, but she figured he had enough teasing in the current situation. Besides, there was always time to poke at him during the mission.

Speaking of the mission it wasn't long before they would begin and move out. Formation planned Kyouko would make her way just slightly ahead of the ground group as a form of reconnaissance. It was only a few paces ahead, but enough to see down alleyways to make sure things were safe for them. There were a few undead obstacles in the way as they marched on to their objective, but they were no match for their strength and cunning. Kyouko didn't even really have to use much of her quirk to deal with the zombies. In fact outside of a few, she had to hold down to stop a wave from becoming too large for them to handle it was a walk in the park.

They would eventually reach a more residential area of the city that was surprisingly deserted. Despite the lavish homes of the upper class, much smaller than what Kyouko lived in back home, it felt like no one lived here for years. Abandoned for better pastures. Well, that was until Kyouko saw a few people peaking out their windows scared out of their minds watching them pass by. The principal explained how they might think they were thieves or looters and Kyouko felt sad for them. To not be able to trust anyone to the point of secluding yourself from everyone seemed like such a sad existence. She gave a friendly smile to one person she made eye contact with and gave a warm wave before returning to the mission at hand. If they smiled back or responded to her polite greeting she didn't know, but hopefully, the small gesture would calm their nerves a small bit.

Bura would also comment on the principal's words to which Kyouko would say, "If need be once our mission is over we should try and make sure this area is secure for those still here." She didn't know if this was honestly a wise idea or not, but the idea of leaving people behind scared and alone wasn't something she liked. Why couldn't they hide the people in the city in more secure locations to keep them safe? What if there were children in these homes? What about the quirkless? What if they died? Would they be held responsible if they did die or would it just have been an accident they couldn't prevent? She shook her head to get these thoughts out of her mind. At the moment they were safe and they had a mission to attend to. There was no room for what-ifs. Kyouko had to focus on what had to be done and what she could do. So she marched on trying her best not to look back at each window with a person looking out at them as they passed.

Kyouko felt this mission was going quite swimmingly that was until they heard a loud crash. When they reached the intersection the group noticed two vehicles collided together an ambulance and a bus with civilians atop the bus trying to fend off a hoard of skeletons. One man among those civilians was firing a gun at the creatures, but Kyouko knew that wouldn't last too long he would run out of ammo eventually and so did the principal it seemed. He directed them to save the civilians and defeat the skeletons and Kyouko was ready to do her job, but the giant behemoth is what caught her off guard. She thought Bura was a big boy, but this thing was on another level. Could she even take on such a creature? Sure Kyouko had a pretty decent quirk for combat, but it was much better used for rescue or detainment. Combat wasn't her strong suit, but it seemed her role in the battle of the behemoth was to help slow him down with Bura.

Listening to Perry's instructions she took a small gulp to try and suppress some of her nerves and put on a determined face. She could do this, especially with Bura's might. His strong muscles that were bigger than Kyouko's body with the combination of her restraint should be able to keep him at bay for a short period. "I'll be right behind you Mr. Fluff." She said this as a way to ease any tension Bura may have had though if she had to guess in this situation she may have to lean on him for the support this time.

As Bura charged to the beast and intercepted it before it could reach the civilians he grabbed the creature to keep it at bay. Kyouko ran as fast she could reach using her hair to grapple street objects to help push her forward with momentum as she wasn't as fast as Bura or the monster, but she eventually would reach them. Then using her hair she extended it into three strands. Two would wrap and tie themselves around the feet of the monster to help stop it from moving while the third would tie itself around the base of a big tree. She would have much-preferred something made of concrete as it wouldn't break faster and she could essentially hold on longer, but a tree would do in a pinch.

It wouldn't be long before Kyouko realized how different this situation was to her training. Even though her scalp was strong she could feel each strand of her hair being pulled with the force from the monster. Keeping her stance wide to not be forced into a worse position that would be even more painful she had to close one of her eyes from the pain. "Please help as soon as you can," Kyouko said to her earpiece to the rest of the team. She didn't know how long the two of them would be able to hold the creature off, but the one thing she did know was her will power and if they held him for too long she might lose a chunk of her hair from this battle.

While she was attempting to help Bura hold the creature down she watched the others to the best of her ability. They were doing their best to keep the civilians safe from harm by attacking the skeletons. What if their combined strength wasn't enough to stop the hoard from attacking? What if the hoard decided to attack Kyouko or Bura while they were vulnerable? Would they be able to keep the monster at bay while defending themselves? If Kyouko was honest she didn't they could. That would be the worst-case scenario for the two of them. While Bura had the strength to probably take the creatures on Kyouko wasn't an able as him. If only she was stronger like him or was able to stay airborne like Perry and Angel. Even Yuhiko was able to do things from a distance and had a very useful quirk. What was she? A glorified weave is what her quirk was that had similar qualities to a whip. How useful could that even be? To make matters worse if she lost her hair in battle she would be virtually quirkless for the remainder of the mission. She would be nothing more than a civilian who the rest of the group would need to protect. "No," Kyouko said aloud to herself, "Don't think like that. You are stronger than that. Don't let the fear overwhelm you just push forward." This was always her advice to herself and it had helped a lot over the years, but right now words were merely words. Action is what was needed and she hoped she had the will to succeed.

Things at least for the most part seemed to be going well. From the sky above he could see the skele bones getting the what fore from the students. The faster they dealt with them the easier and safer the civilians would be. The tension was high and they had to not only being giving their best they had to be fast as well. Slipping up now wouldn't be like slipping up in training when it was the real deal like this. He listened to them all agree and move in. Pleased at how they moved like a well oiled machine showing that their training had been working well it seemed. His tiny plane high in the sky as a sign not to worry that help was here!

"Good work Bura, Keep a distance from it when you can though. That thing is a monster! The rest of you if and when the zombies are all clear keep this thing from range. If Bura can keep the thing's attention with his mass and might we can pepper it down, Over." He said briefly as he popped up over the radio his voice coming in clear. He turned about coming back in for a second maneuver all the while as well. While the beast was still somewhat held but hair Perry had been coming back around doing a simple but effective flight maneuver. Fully giving his guns a reload in the process. He narrowed his goggled covered eyes looking down the sites and past the spinning propellers as the tat tat tat fired yet again aiming this time at the creatures head trying to wound it and fire while also looking for anything that related to eyes in appearance trying to blind the beast. Taking a risk as well pulling up at the last moment attempting to use the propeller to slice and cut into the creatures head just slightly as he pulled away to cause maximum damage. He tried to show off his pilot skill in doing so and wanting to show these civilians they needed fear when he was here!

"Eat my metal you rotten bag of bones! Yeehaw!" He roared out as it came out over the radio and was lightly audible to even those nearby on the ground. Trying to appear the galiant metallic savior from the skies bringing down thunder at the behemoth beast before him. Ready for whatever risk he had to to crush the beast.
