Reina eyed the pair of villains as they stopped, launching herself through the air again to reach the rooftop they were on. As she landed, Hades let go of Rakasha and left the man. More disgust and anger flared inside the girl's chest. Abandoning a friend--possibly family, from what Reina had gathered--to die. As if she needed more reason to hate these people.

Despite those thoughts, she felt no sympathy for Rakasha himself. The girl moved to continue after Hades, but Rakasha lashed out at her with his quirk. The girl let out a growl of uncontainable frustration, realizing Hades and the villain who had beaten Roy were going to get away.

Channeling that frustration, Reina glared daggers into Rakasha as he tried the same thing he had before--launching himself towards her. Fine, they'd do this again. This time, Reina would kill him. She pushed hard with her gravity, forcing the two tentacles aimed at her to miss her by a foot on both sides of her body, and directed her orb towards Rakasha to drag him to her again.

Before she could do much more though, Rakasha was forced to a sudden stop by a shadow construct rising from the roof and driving itself into his stomach.

For a brief moment, the fury and instinct that dictated all of Reina's actions subsided slightly. She glanced behind her to see Takeshi had come with her, keeping her from going into another likely suicidal head-on collision with Rakasha. Time paused for her as thoughts flooded her mind again, questioning everything she had done today. It was reckless of her to give chase, wasn't it? Staying to help down the Cerberus would've been the more heroic thing to do. But she didn't want these villains to ever threaten Takeshi and Michiko again. Was that selfish? It began to felt like it...

The girl's gaze had followed Takeshi as he engaged Rakasha. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the two shadow tentacles striking at her again. Her heart leapt as she scrambled to minimize the damage. She pushed with her gravity, as well as her orb's--though due to her being distracted, it wasn't in an ideal position, instead being several feet above her head and away from her. She was shoved down to the ground by the orb, working arm covering her head as one of the tentacles managed to hit her--not quite head-on, but not a glancing blow either. Reina slid across the roof a dozen feet, gasping from the pain in her arm and the friction burn on her shoulder and hip.

Doubting herself was no good. She was learning that. Maybe she hadn't made the best choice--but she [i]had[/i] made a choice, and hadn't hesitated to follow it. She had trusted in the rest of the heroes there to take down the Cerberus without her. She had even hoped and trusted that Takeshi would come with her, and that she [i]wouldn't[/i] be alone in fighting the two villains. Of course fighting them alone would have been crazy, but she realized she had never thought for a moment she'd be alone against them while she gave chase.

So she'd stop doubting herself. For right now at least--it was a difficult habit to break fully, but in this moment, she knew she could focus. Losing that focus is what had gotten her injured further just now.

Just a bit longer. She just had to push herself a bit further.

Reina forced herself to her feet, left arm burning in pain as she put weight on it to push herself up. Must have been fractured by the blow. It was still more usuable than her right arm, though.

Tentacles struck at her again, though this time she was ready, pushing them away with her orb and launching herself towards Rakasha and Takeshi in the same motion. Glancing overhead, Reina spotted Aurelia coming in to help them.

That was good. Now for Reina to make herself useful--she couldn't really use her quirk to affect Rakasha, as it'd affect both Aurelia and Takeshi as well.

As the idea developed in her head, she began to pull hard with her orb, keeping it directly in front of her so she shot towards Rakasha foot first. Before reaching him she killed her orb's pull, instead sending it up into the air towards Aurelia, simultaneously dropping Reina close to the ground due to not getting a vertical boost anymore from her orb. With Takeshi keeping Rakasha's sword busy, Reina's side hit the ground just before her foot made contact with the villains ankle, throwing him severely off balance for the price of more friction burns on Reina.

The girl grit her teeth through the pain, using the friction to slow herself down quickly, putting her only a few feet behind Rakasha. From so low to the ground, she [i]pushed[/i] with her quirk, forcing Rakasha a foot into the air and throwing off his tentacles. Takeshi would feel the push as well, but from this position it would affect him much less, and he should be able to keep his balance easily to deal with any possible counterattack or throw a swing of his own.

[color=b16edd]"Nakamiji!"[/color] Reina yelled, pushing on the pro hero from behind with her orb to give her an extra boost of speed to capitalize on Rakasha being momentarily suspended in the air.
