Kasai had turned towards the other group after Ryuu had scorched a patch of goop that had somehow made its way towards Barron. She opened her mouth to thank the man, but before she could get the words out, a hand came flying out of nowhere and smacked right onto her chest. Her eyes grew wide and her jaw dropped as she realized that Avani's hand was planted firmly between her breasts. 

"WHAT IN THE SPIRIT'S NAME IS YOUR PROBLEM."

Kasai returned the effort to remove her hand by moving backwards as Avani pulled the other direction. Much to her horror, a loud ripping sound resonated in her ears and she looked down to see the top half of her coat was now glued to Avani's hand along with the goo. Kasai's face grew red and the fire inside of her headed her face to a point where it seemed as thought she could shoot laser beams from her pupils. 

The only thing now that could be seen was Kasai's black sports bra and her upper abdomen. She had only worn the bandeau style bra because of the warm summer air outside, and as a woman of the police, she knew that taking off the coat would not be an option during the mission. Kieron and Barron both looked on in shock, preparing for the embarrassment to cause their boss to implode and release the fire held within. 

Kasai didn't have the time to wring Avani's neck because she was busy trying to remove the substance from her entire arm now. And while Kasai was thoroughly embarrassed, she wasn't without reason. Instead, she waited until she was done so that she could drag her back a safe distance and then proceed to kill her, but her face turned from awkward shame to concern as Avani cried out and pulled up her arm to reveal it, scarred and bloody.  

"What in the...?" 

She didn't have time to question it any further, because out of nowhere barbs and spurs of black goo shot at the entire group. Kasai had to do a flip just to avoid a tentacle that flew directly at her, but in the air, it latched onto her foot and she cried out. She quickly drew in a breath and then shot white hot flames out of her foot, causing the limb of liquid to retreat. Regaining her feet, she quickly began to shoot off shots at the incoming webs, but the number was growing exponentially. 

"We can't handle this much, we need to move back!" Barron spat as he tried desperately to freeze the stuff in its tracks as it came after them.  

Kasai could hear Avani and Ryuu arguing a few feet away, and at Avani's last remark, she turned towards her after sending a wall of fire at the black tar. "What?! Listen here, don't count on-" She was cut off, the energy draining from her voice as the other firebender was impaled by a spear of black energy. Kasai could see that Avani was stuck in shock, and from the corner of her eye she saw more of them coming in hot. 

Kasai grit her teeth and jumped towards Avani, shooting fire from her feet to propel her forwards. She got to her at the last second and grabbed her, both of them falling to the ground. Before Kasai hit the ground, the goo hit her same foot again, and this time when she got it back, her boot was missing and her foot was visibly torn. 

She grunted and stood up, grabbing Avani and getting her to her feet also. "We all need to move back, now!" she shouted over the sounds of combat.
