[center][h1]Point C - Battle Training[/h1][/center] [hr] Coughing slightly, Sen hooked one leg over the bed of the truck and lifted himself off and onto the ground, leaving little yellow wisps in his wake. He couldn’t see much with all the dust in the air, but he called out to to his teammate. [b][color=9acd32]Hell of an entrance, Jett.[/color][b] Jett chuckled.[color=007236] “Thank you Sen.”[/color] He said, calling back to him. He held his head up proudly for a moment before looking behind him to see how Reina was holding up. He gave a smile, [color=007236]“How you holding up Reina?” [/color] The girl gave him a small—but noticeably wry—smirk. [color=b16edd]”Fine,”[/color] she said, pushing down the passenger seat in front of her to exit the cab. Her heart pounded as she stepped out, and slipped on the gas mask, knowing the training had already begun. The moment both her feet hit the dirt, a feather cutting through the air landed with a quiet thud in the ground a meter away from her, causing the already nervous girl to jump and instinctively use her quirk to suddenly repel her surroundings. Dirt kicked away in a circle around her, and the truck she had just been in lurched and skidded a few feet away. More feathers began to rain down, their trajectory being adjusted away from her by her inverted gravitational well. This sudden lurch and push of the gravity caused Jett to slam into his door, knocking his head against the glass. Grunting in pain he shook his head once the truck moving. What...what the hell was that… He looked around and realized Reina was standing opposite of where the truck moved, it had to have been her, but why… A steel feather suddenly shot into the windshield, cracking it, just in front of Jett's face. Oh… that’s why. Jett gulped as if it hadn’t been for that windshield, it would have struck him between the eyes. Sen ended up staggering away from the truck as it was shoved by what seemed to be an invisible hand. He stumbled to land on one knee as what seemed to be feathers rained down from above. One struck the ground in front of him and he instinctively threw his arms above his head to shield himself. A feather sliced the side of his forearm, drawing a line of blood. Another lodged itself about an inch into his shoulder, having been slowed down from Reina’s quirk. Even so, he still let out an elegant [b][color=9acd32]”Son of a fuck!”[/color][/b] Sen dove towards the truck while dislodging the feather in his shoulder, he stayed with his back pressed against the vehicle until the feathers stopped falling. [b][color=9acd32]”Looks like bird-boy is here too. How do we handle this?”[/color][/b] He asked urgently, gripping his now bleeding shoulder. Reina turned sharply, staring with wide eyes at the truck she had moved and the two boys she had thrown. Her voice caught in her throat, she couldn’t even apologize though her mind screamed at her to do so. [color=b16edd][i]Worthless![/i][/color] No, she was even worse than that right now... Her gaze shifted suddenly at the vehicle that narrowly missed their truck, heart leaping again. Had she almost pushed them into it?... The panic and guilt of the situation gripped her. Loud creaking and crashing to the right of their truck caught the girl’s attention, her neck snapping again to stare through the thinning cloud of dust they were in. A crane was sliding down one of the hills, displacing large chunks of rock and debris and tumbling them down towards them. Reina was no longer aware of her own thought process—only what she wanted. Through her panic, the girl took off towards the debris. [color=b16edd][i]Stop it from hurting anyone.[/i][/color] Somehow. Her quirk could do it. She just had to use it to a tenth of its potential. [color=b16edd][i]Somehow.[/i][/color] Jett looked over to Sen as he cursed, seeing him dive for the truck, with a feather in his shoulder. Damn… It was definitely that bird man, He was going to have to deal with him…as he was the only one who could get close to him. Looking around he noticed the cloud starting to clear up, Suddenly a massive truck rolled by, just barely scraping the drivers side hood of the truck. Thankfully, perhaps Reina’s quirk helped with that as well...but who knew, that was besides the point now. If he remembered there were a few more vehicles on those mounds, If they sent one...they probably sent others. [color=007236] “What the hell!?’”[/color] he yelled to himself. Were they trying to kill them? If that truck hit, it would have done serious damage. His eyes narrowed as he started to see a silhouette of a girl with a shield. He remembered her from the start of school, when she took a direct hit from that massive guard. The fact she was moving into the dust cloud when there was a truck that could possibly run her over… probably meant she didn’t have to worry about it. In that case… He looked over to Reina only to catch her running towards….oh fuck was that a crane falling over?! [color=007236] “REINA!!!!”[/color] He yelled, but she apparently was ignoring him as she ran directly to the falling crane. He hesitated….but figured after a moment with her quirk she….should be able to handle it… he had to trust her. Grinding his teeth he looked forward again and glared at the girl. It had to be her...and that stupid bird. He kicked open his door and looked directly at Sen, [color=007236] “Get in!” [/color]He growled. He knew it was dangerous for him, but hopefully he wouldn’t need to stay in the truck for that long. Sen paused for a second to look up at their opponent, confirming it was Acion before he took a deep breath and held it, then jumped into the passenger seat of the truck. Jett smiled confidently at Sen, [color=007236]“ Get ready to breathe when I tell you to, alright?”[/color] Throwing it into first gear. Sen nodded, wondering what the plan was but at the same time trusting his teammate. He let the clutch go as the truck lurched into gear towards Mamoru. He then slammed on the gas, dirt flying as the engine redlined and slowly gained momentum. He turned his wheel to go around the girl… Acion had finished his attack, and was beginning to steadily regain altitude. He soon reached the initial height of the first attack. There, he began to regrow the lost feathers. It surely was a lot easier and much less energy consuming than having to grow back the entire wing if he ever lost one. He could do this again and again a dozen times before he grew exhausted. He examined the battlefield around C again. His visibility was yet to be cleared, the cloud was still thick. But he could see silhouettes beginning to appear in his fovea. A few students, along with a truck. Glancing back at his team, he did notice Mamoru trying to push a bunch of vehicles down into their position, barely missing the team’s vehicle. [color=aba000]‘That girl…’[/color] That was a little bit excessive. That wasn’t necessary for a mock battle. He would have to remark that on her later, otherwise some unnecessary casualties would occur sooner or later. Acion looked at the truck, as their team began to take shelter inside the truck. This made things difficult. From this point onwards, he was not able to gauge the inertia level of his feathers accurately anymore. If he threw his feathers with maximum force, it might cut through that truck, leading to potential serious injuries or even deaths. He wouldn’t want that, ever. That would be a huge betrayal to his own spiritual ideology. Besides, Mamoru appeared to be engaging them as well, thus increasing the chance of friendly fire. Therefore, he decided to wait instead, his senses sharpened for any battlefield changes. If there were any slightest distress at any point on the battlefield, he would be able to rush there immediately. Despite the dust and the dirt being flung around, Mamoru had a general idea of where Team Alpha was at thanks to all the shouting they were doing. Thus following their voices allowed Mamoru to see the shape of the truck they took, as well as a few others going in and out of it. She couldn’t tell who was who or how many there were but it didn’t matter. She heard the truck’s engine roar as it launched towards her. Just as Mamoru had hoped. Mamoru’s plan would’ve been to tackle the truck with her shield and stop the vehicle dead on. This plan probably would’ve worked better if they didn’t already spot her, which she guessed they did if they were driving straight towards her. More importantly however, Mamoru noticed a glint off the windshield which as the truck grew nearer, revealed that it was one of Acion’s feathers. He must have somehow damaged the windshield which gave Mamoru an idea. Probably not a good idea. But an idea. As the trucks was just seconds away from impacting Mamoru, she did not stand her ground. Mostly because the truck was actually trying to steer away from her so standing still would just make the truck avoid her, which she didn’t want. Instead she’d intercept the truck by diving right in front of the windshield. In that moment Mamoru had to act instantly: raising her arm just inches away from the damaged windshield, Mamoru summoned her Aegis to her arm. There wasn’t quite enough space for her shield, meaning that it was going to have to break something. Ideally, the windshield. And toss Mamoru’s body into the cab. Jett let out a curse as he saw the girl DID NOT jump in front of the truck like he planned. He quickly yelled [color=007236]“FUCK IT, BREATH!” [/color]Just before Mamoru hit the windshield he ducked taking in a large breath… When the window exploded, broken glass peppered and cut his face as Mamoru came barging through, shield first. The weapon Mamoru used to smash the window clipped his head, pushing him to the side and making him hit his head again on the window of the truck. The shock caused him to let out the breath he had been holding and a large cloud was expelled from his lips, filling the cab. Sen was unable to move, seeing as there was now a girl where empty space used to be. His forehead was bleeding heavily from the shield and his face had cuts from the glass she had broken. Jett suddenly appeared outside the vehicle, black smoke wisping around him as he just managed to teleport before that crazy girl flew through the window, he landed wrong and rolled on the ground, grunting as he did. The truck had stopped dead in its tracks. Confused No way that truck should have stopped… that girl flew in through the window. Shaking his head he ran over to the truck to see if Sen was ok. He looked bad, with his face all cut up from the glass. He waited a moment as the gas filled the cab before touching Sen and teleporting him out, with a black cloud of smoke coming from him now laying on the ground. Leaving the girl in the truck. He then closed his eyes and held his breath as he reached into the cab and grabbed the radio. Pulling it out as quickly as he could and stepped back as far as it would let him and clicked the speaker, [color=007236] “HEY!! TEACHER! ANYBODY!? WE NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION ON CHARLIE RIGHT AWAY!” [/color]It was a longshot, but he figured since it was a training ground, the frequencies of the radio would be monitored. He waited for a moment and tried again, [color=007236] “Can anyone hear me?!” [/color] He looked down at Sen.. Fuck… what the hell was that girls problem?! [hr] Yoshida sensei watched the recklessness going on at C, [color=f7941d]“These kids have good power but are using it recklessly”[/color]. Their quirks could prove useful but the way they applicated them was rather dangerous. L guardian pressed a button to call for the nurse,[color=f7941d] “We need medical assistance at training ground echo”[/color]. He then came over the intercom [color=f7941d]“Sen Kimoto and Mamoru Akasha are no longer in condition for battle, Medical assistance will be on the way shortly”[/color]. Damn kids, Akihito left the building quickly entering a jeep positioned outside the building he observed from. Acion watched the entire thing unravel in such a quick pace that even himself could not react on time. He didn’t even realize what the heck was going on until Jett’s cry for help rang out loudly. [color=aba000]‘Medical attention?’[/color] Something very serious must have happened. Almost without any hesitation, he dived towards the sound of the cry for help. As he got closer to the ground, he was met with no resistance, nor any retaliation, as things were too hectic for the battle to continue on. And there, he saw the man lying motionless on the ground, his head, his shoulder bloodied. Acion’s eyes widened with shock. Meanwhile, Reina stood on shaking legs, now in the path of the small crane-caused avalanche, a dozen meters down the hill from it. Her brow furrowed as she exerted herself, using her quirk to repel again, stronger than before now that she was focused on it. It wouldn’t be enough, that much was immediately clear. Most objects too heavy, too much momentum behind them. At best she’d push them away and spread them, but not stop them from going down. [color=b16edd][i]Something else.[/i][/color] Her quirk could do it. [color=b16edd][i]I’m the problem.[/i][/color] The avalanche—noticeably slower now, objects being pushed and spread to move around her—was nearly on her. It was slightly less terrifying than it had been, but if Reina had been able to ponder the situation she had thrown herself into, she would be worried for the state of her heart. She stepped quickly to the side to slip between two larger pieces of debris, and then again dove to the ground to avoid another. The smaller pieces were kept away by her quirk. There, she had gotten through it. Rolling onto her back, she sat up to look down the hill, immediately changing her quirk from repelling to pulling as hard as she could. The girl yelled out from the massively sudden exertion, grinding her teeth together to muffle herself as she covered her head. She threw her body forward, letting herself tumble down the hill after the debris, keeping herself as close to it all as possible, so the force of her quirk had maximum effect on it. Smaller pieces of rubble began to batter her painfully, sticking to her, but she kept pulling and pulling, trying to see through the dirt that covered the gas mask. The sound that had been deafening her died out. After a moment of hesitation, the girl let go of her quirk, the relief from doing so instantly flooding her. Breathing heavy, she dropped her arms and tore off her mask as she watched some of the rubble—now nearly at the bottom of the hill—slide a few more feet before stopping again silently, no longer under the effect of her quirk. She could only stare in disbelief for a long moment. Her eyes narrowed as she drew the only logical conclusion she could make. It wasn’t [i]her[/i] that had stopped the rubble. [color=b16edd][i]Anyone with this quirk could have done the same…[/i][/color] It was nothing to be proud of. Still, she at least felt relieved to have not completely messed up. Reina stood up, coughing as she did her best to wipe some of the dirt that caked her off with her hands, wincing slightly as she brushed the dozens of quickly developing bruises. She glanced towards the center, open area of C, seeing the conflict that was occurring there. Heart kick-starting again, she forced herself to move on her unsteady legs, driven by the worry brought on from Jett’s call for help. Jett had let out a small sigh of relief hearing L Guardian on the intercom, suddenly Bird man had appeared out of nowhere, his eyes wide with shock at seeing Sen on the ground. He clenched his fist, ready to punch someone for a moment before hearing suddenly the loud crash of the crane coming down causing him to jump in his own skin. [color=007236]“Reina!!!”[/color] He screamed. He looked over towards where she had ran to… he couldn’t see anything except for the cloud of dust that came from the avalanche. [color=007236]‘ No… Not Reina as well!?’ [/color] Jett thought to himself [color=007236]no… she’s ok… she has to be.’[/color] he forced himself to think. But he couldn’t run to see if she was. He had to wait by Sen till help arrived. The guy’s scream once again enabled the six-winged man to sharpen his sense and logic. [color=aba000]‘Another one hurt?!’[/color] Oh come on! This is training, not a killing field! Again, without any slightest hint of hesitation, Acion dashed for the sight of the debris, his wings opened widely. The only difference was that he was flying uphill at low altitude. He might not be able to see things clearly this way, but luckily, he caught the identity of the girl that he was supposed to find. Her leg was shaking, her posture was unsteady. She was caught in that avalanche for sure. [color=aba000]“Reina!”[/color] He approached her flying, landed when he was right in front of her. [color=aba000]“Are you alright? I’ll get you back.”[/color] The girl glanced to the winged boy who called her by name. After getting over the mild surprise of that, she simply gave him a thumbs-up, though her worry deepened—he was on Delta, so why was he offering to help her? Even from the little she knew of the boy, she felt confident that he wasn’t deceiving her to make her drop her guard... which meant something serious [i]had[/i] happened. [color=b16edd]”I’m fine. Thank you.”[/color] She glanced away, not wanting to burden him with having to carry her... but getting back to the others as fast as possible was important, so she nodded. As he was granted her permission, Acion simply offered her hand for her to take it. After she held onto it, he flapped his wings for a takeoff, although this time, it required more efforts for him to do so. And for some reasons, he felt a strange gravitational pull towards Reina. But still, she wasn’t so heavy for him to have much difficulties lifting off the ground. The flight was short, but long enough for him to have a small exchange with her. [color=aba000]“Sen’s heavily injured. We were a little reckless. So we might have to call this off.” [/color] Reina held on tightly, the flight making her stomach turn a bit, though they weren’t very high in the air. She gave a small [color=b16edd]“Mhm,”[/color] in response. She could see the smashed truck well enough. [color=b16edd][i]A little reckless?...”[/i][/color] She remembered the driver-less vehicle that had almost hit the truck just after the rain of feathers. It must have had been rolled down another hill, like the crane had. She understood playing to win as well as anyone else, but that seemed... extreme, for an ambush during training. She frowned to herself. Energy level 50% Roy had been absorbing energy the whole time, by the time he opened his eyes and was ready his team was completely gone. Kenichi had dashed completely across grounds to point A, Donny headed to point B, and the remaining went to point C. Point C to check it out and see who is there or straight to point A, Point A was rather far and would take him a much longer time. [color=9e0039]"Point C it is."[/color] He made a fast jog towards c, it was half a mile from his location so it wouldn't take too long, about 5 minutes. Jett didn’t have to wait long as L Guardian pulled up in his jeep a few minutes after he had spoke on the intercom. He exited the jeep, as well as grabbing a first aid kit from the back. Yoshida sensei opened the first aid kit and grabbed some ointment as well as bandage wrap for the boys arm and head. That paralysis is pesky, L guardian activated his quirk and sent his sentinel over to patch up the boy. He applied ointment to the wounded areas before wrapping bandages around it, the guardian then picked up the young boy and carried him to the back of the jeep while Yoshida Grabbed Mamoru. To everyone else it looked pretty much like a joke, as Sen was basically floating in the air, Yoshida sensei hopped back into the car. [color=f7941d]“Carry on”[/color] he said before driving off towards the training grounds exit. Jett looked at the teacher as he got in his jeep and drove off with an odd look. What? [color=007236]“CARRY ON?”[/color] What the hell? He wasn’t going to reprimand this dumb chick? Disqualify her? He let out a growl and looked back into the truck. Well she had to have been hurt jumping through a damn windshield. Shaking his head he turned to start making his way towards the Avalanche to see if Reina was ok. Acion noted that L Guardian had just left the area not very long ago, leaving behind a very messy ground at C. Well? What do you expect? Now Sen’s literally out, and Mamoru’s also knocked out cold. And the remnants of the two teams could only stood there and look at each other doing nothing. There’s no way people would be able to continue after seeing someone critically injured in a [i]training[/i]. Yes a training, not a real life battle. Dear God... How could this happen? Acion could sense their demoralization, so he simply put Reina softly on the ground, knowing that she was bruised all over her from that damn avalanche. And then he landed on the ground next to her as well and stood there, his face serious over what just happened. Reina’s frown only deepened as she took a step forward, still entirely unsure what had happened to Sen. She glanced to Jett, unsure how to word the question she wanted to ask properly. [color=b16edd]"Is... Sen going to be all right?”[/color] The fact that he had been immediately taken away was a bad sign. But with the resources Komei must have for the care of their students, such a quick response also meant he would be getting good help fast. When Jett saw Reina he let an audible sigh a relief escape his lips. But then he simply nodded.[color=007236]” Yeah, he should be fine...I mean, L Guardian didn’t seem too concerned.”[/color] He said looking back at the dust trail the jeep left behind. Looking back to her. [color=007236]“I’m just glad to see you are ok.”[/color] He added with a smile. He looked to the bird guy. [color=007236]“Thanks for going to go look for her.” [/color] Reina just shrugged and looked away, not very comfortable with having another worry for her. A thought crossed her mind, and with it a very light, shameful blush. [color=b16edd]“Oh, um... sorry about earlier... when I pushed you and Sen...”[/color] she half-mumbled. He shrugged back at her. [color=007236]“Don't worry about it, I know you didn’t mean to do it on purpose...You more than made up for protecting us from that crane debri. I don't think we would have made it out of there if you didn't slow it down. That was pretty bad ass.”[/color] He said, trying to cheer her up. The girl just shrugged again and looked away, but this time with the faintest hint of a smile on her lips and red on her cheeks.
