That seemed unexpected, erratic and annoying to deal with."There's a silver lining, though," she replied. "I was scared your quirk might be gone forever. This proves that's not the case, and that getting back to normal is possible. As for the black eye, I got it from sparring today with Dulga. That...got out of hand, and I think I really need to work on steeling my will, stopping anybody from getting under my skin, and stop letting my emotions get the better in me in the heat of battle. It's why I lost to Dulga. It's why I went after Amane after being saved, against all logic. Against everything but ego, in fact. I've never lost before, and honestly, it's messed me up a little." Jett shrugged… She was right, it was progress, even though it didnt feel like it at the moment. He raised an eyebrow when he caught she said she was scared. Why was she scared about his quirk not coming back? When she mentioned fighting with Dulga he just sighed. Honestly this girl is a glutton for punishment. But she explained why she lost and he nodded, and he could see why she kinda broke down. He was silent for a bit before he then said, [color=007236] Well… now that you know what you need to do...stop beating yourself up.[/color] He looked at her with a small smile. [color=007236]”We really should get some Ice on that...[/color] But before they could, he saw Dulga walking up towards them. He honestly didn’t know what was gonna happen...Dulga never seemed to like him, throwing him out of windows, and Glaring at him...all for just catching her dancing. She asked how they were holding up. He shrugged. [color=007236]“F-” [/color] Disappearing once more in a puff of smoke and reappearing ten feet away. [color=007236]-ine[/color] He finished with Irritation. He walked back over and rubbed the back of his head, slightly embarrassed. [color=007236]Just stuck to where I was six years ago with my quirk.[/color] Wincing at the headache that followed. [color=007236]”How was speaking with my mother? She can be blunt...and scary at times...but she means well…”[/color] Surely this would be surprising for Dulga for him to know who she just spoke too. Or creepy...hopefully it was the former. [color=007236]My mother spoke to me a bit before looking for you guys...[/color] As if realizing Mina was there with his mom. He looked to her… [color=007236]She...didn’t say anything...weird right?!”[/color] Sometimes he wished his mom could be like most mothers and tell their sons to stay away from girls and don't get into trouble with them...she encouraged it.

He suddenly heard a boy yell out. “They are a copy of you! Only way to defeat it is not fighting it like you normally would, but rather what you wouldn’t do!” He looked over to see a bloody dark haired samurai looking over to him, before he turned away and chased after the two that ran away and the girl that followed them. He turned and thought, what wouldn’t he do? After a second he stood up straight, un-holstered his pistol and shot it in the head in a fluid motion and without hesitation. He would never go for a headshot in a real fight… Once the thing crumbled to the ground and vanished he hurried over to Kadia. Kneeling down, he holstered his pistol and running a hand over her forehead and asking, “Are you alright Kadia Beaumont?” Kaida glanced up at him her eyes barely opening as she moaned. “Je...t?” She asked as he picked her up, She blushed as he did. He came for her? How did he even know she was in danger? But he was strong enough to scare that man away… She clearly wasn’t thinking clearly as her head was throbbing now from multiple concussions. She slipped back out of consciousness as her head fell against his chest. Right after that the tiny girl, literally a midget ran up to Shortcut and said with a wicked smile on her face. “Better not let Sarge see ya like that. You know how crazy she gets!” She looked passed him to see the cerberus and smiled more. “Come on! We better get in there before the sky knights take all the fun! Let's show them how real soldiers fight compared to their ‘fake army’.” Without waiting for a response She ran as fast as she could towards the three headed dog “COME HERE CLIFFORD! COME HERE PUPPY! WHO WANTS A STICK!? I GOT A STICK FOR YOU!!!” She roared in her tiny voice as she pulled a stick of dynamite out of her pack. “Marge...please dont destroy another city block.” A calm and collected voice came in over the coms. “Come on Manda! You know that wasn’t ENTIRELY My fault! AND IT’S ONE STICK! “ With that she lit it and threw it high and impressively far for such a little person. Two loud rifle shots could be heard as the bullets aimed for the right heads right eye, trying to distract it from the dynomite. “FIRE IN THE HOLE!” Marge screamed loud enough for everyone to hear.

Quickly cutting through the shadow and rushing after Reina. “REINA STOP!” He called out, he was honestly shocked that Reina was chasing after them, she looked really hurt with every movement. But she was already blowing past cerberus after brutally blowing one of her orbs through its head. He sprinted after her, stumbling a bit at the beginning as he got dizzy but pushed through it and after her. He jumped up the rubble to the second floor and again to the roof, scrambling on all three limbs near the top to finally get there. He saw her running straight for hades and Raksha, Who inturned stopped, after speaking to each other for a second. Hades lowered Rakasha to the ground and hesitantly continued to run after Raksha pushed him away and unsheathed his sword. Reina was about to deal with a cornered dying tiger… She wouldn't expect what he was gunna plan to do. Groaning in pain as he pushed himself even faster, running awkwardly with his new ‘arm’ now, he raced to cut her off. [hr] Back in the alley Shortcut had noticed the two leaving and looked to Aurelia, “Sky defender! They are chasing the two villains they will need your help! Let us help your team in your stead! He handed off Kadia to one of her men and kicked his spear up from the ground into his hand. [hr] Rakasha growled as his brother left…If he was going to die, he was going to die with a sword in his hand and regain his honor. The girl was getting closer as he bent over into a low stance ready to kill her. As she got close enough, all four tentacles shot out at her, while it was only two that was aimed for her, while two were launched into the ground in front of her, As she would deal with the two tentacles, he would pull himself at her with all his might, his sword at the ready, However this didn’t work because suddenly a rod shot up out of the ground and hit him right in the gut. He coughed up some blood with the force of the hit as he looked to the side to see Takeshi running towards them. A low rising yell came from Takeshi as he followed up with a slash of his own, Rakasha parried and the two delivered more blows between each other. While the two tentacles that were aimed for Reina were now flaying around her trying to keep her busy while he was focused on Takeshi. “Takeshi the Reaper…” Rakasha grunted as he continued to slash and perry, “Never thought I see you fight like this again little brother…”
