Team 3 (Renard, Kerianne, Chisato)
------- vs -------
Team 4 (Dawn, Steven, Thomas)

Part 1

Dawn pulled back a little when the guy's hand started spinning. Oh that...made her a little queasy. He continued explaining and mentioned how any part of his body could spin she looked away and closed her eyes and taking deep breaths. After he was done she quickly added, "ok ok ok dont do that infront of me... I'm grossed out by that."  waving her hand infront of her to him. once it passed she sighed and added,  "I cant make tigers they are too much at the moment, I can do bobcats though. or any other small animals to get up in their faces."

"Bobcats should work! Anything that can help me keep their attention off Steven," Thomas replied, his decision not to focus on her insensitive reaction to his quirk not helping him regain the smile he lost. 

Squeezed tight in the group hug, Kerianne lapsed into silence, her cheeks as warm as the arms surrounding her and Chi. Knowing Renard, he probably wanted that exact reaction, just so he could tease her. At Martenell's announcement, however, she regained her composure as she headed with the others to section B.

Chi on the other hand let out a surprised laugh, his eyes squeezed shut and his nose scrunched up in amusement. He's never gotten a big hug like this, let alone a group hug that felt so warm. It was just the push he needed to follow Keri to their designated sector once they were set free from the taller blonde.

Renard was grinning ear to ear when he let Kerianne and Chi go. His goal complete he was in a really good mood. And with the team matchup he was very confident in their situation. Dawn wasn't much of a fighter, Steven he had an upper hand on with his own quirk. Though he didn't know the third guy. 

"Well, there's no getting out of training with me this time," she said, with a pointed look at Dawn. Her knowledge of Dawn's strengths and weaknesses could be helpful here, but one opponent, the boy dressed like a construction worker, wasn't one she knew. She sized up the opposing team, glancing around to note the shadows every so often. 

"Any training I get to shoot you in the face is not worth missing!" Giving Keri a large smug smile. While patting both her guns. Though... she was annoyed slightly, she would have to watch her quirk. Keri has used her babies glow to help her quirk before. She didn 't know about Renard...he was always such a nice guy. maybe she could use her womanly charm to distract him... Her smug smile turned into a smirk as her cheeks reddened at thought of him giving up with out a fight, claiming his undying love her for her. As she watched him from the corner of her eyes.

Renard followed, rotating his arms like a crank to get that little extra charge. It would seem their original plan wouldn't work as it seemed like they were just being plopped together at the start of it. He quickly said to Chi "Let me take on the other two, perhaps you could use us to sneak around to get a better spot to attack from behind?"

"Un, I'll look for a way around." Said healer whispered back in response, sizing up their opponents with a slight frown. While Steven and Dawn were formidable from what he could remember, the new guy worried Chisato. He'd need to be extra careful, like always.

The whistle trilled. Kerianne wasted no time, sprinting to a nearby building's shadow, fixing her stare on Steven. At the last split second, she shifted her attention to Thomas instead, vanishing and popping up next to him. A risky move, since she didn't know his Quirk, but hopefully it would throw off Steven enough for Renard to deal with him - and from here, she could keep an eye on her teammates, to carry out the plan when necessary.

Springing up from her crouch, she threw a punch.

Renard sprang into action as well, rushing towards the group, hoping to keep their eyes on him enough to help both Chi and Kerianne. 

Dawn was stuck in her daydream and let out a little yelp as the whistle trilled. Her eyes wide as she saw Renard charging at them. She raised a hand and her glow grew more inense in the palm of it. Sudden a couple birds sprung forth and flew over to Renard trying to peck at his face and flap their wings to block his view. She knew he was the more dangerous one...though he might not hit her, him and stripper boy wouldn't be a good match. She decided to make a few more birds to go and bother both Kerianne and Chi. 

At first, Chi had been following behind Keri, up until she disappeared, continuing on until he reached the coner of the building itself. Planting himself there for now, the pinkette watched as everyone moved, silver blue eyes darting to and fro. Kerianne went after the new guy, while Renard aimed for their opposing classmates. While that should've been enough for Chi to give the slip and possibly get behind them to act as a distraction, a familiar glow came his way in the form of some birds. He wasted no time sprinting along the perimeter of the wall out of sight in hopes of getting away and ultimately take the long way around the central fighting going on to get behind it all.

Tomka had started the fight much like Keri and Renard, running toward the opposite team. What he didn't expect was that one of them would suddenly teleport next to him. He whipped around in an attempt to strike first, but she cut him off with an uppercut thrown from crouching position. Tom was clocked in the underside of his jaw, his sandals leaving the ground as he was knocked backward into the air. He'd taken some blows like that before, though, so he knew how to hit the ground in a way that didn't leave him breathless. His hardhat absorbed the damage of his head hitting the pavement, too. From his position on the ground, he rotated his shoulder segment and hip segment in opposite directions, turning himself perpendicular to Keri, then rolled toward her, hoping to catch her by surprise and take her legs out from under her while she thought she had a moment.

Lack of knowledge of each other's Quirks may have worked in Kerianne's favour, but now it worked against her. Thomas' rotation and roll caught her off guard, bowling her over. Her reflexes from scuffles kicking in, she buckled her knees and twisted her body to land with minimal injury. Just as she made to stand up, several large, glowing birds flapped at her face.

Having successfully tripped Keri, Tomka stopped rolling just behind where she'd been standing and sprang into a crouching position facing her now prone body. He attempted to wrap his arms around her ankles and trap her legs under his arms. If Kerianne didn't struggle free, he'd be able to proceed with his plan.

Kerianne kicked about, trying to loosen Tom's grip. With a sweep of her arm, she pushed the birds from her face just long enough to glimpse a sign stand ahead. Pressing a hand to the ground, she plunged into Tom's shadow and reappeared by the board. As the birds closed in, she picked up the stand and knocked them away.

Across the arena, she spotted Chi disappearing behind a building, similarly pursued. Gritting her teeth, she rushed to a nearby lamppost. The glow of Dawn's creations extended its shadow, which she wasted no time teleporting through to the building's side, the board still gripped in her other hand. She straightened her posture with a slight stumble, a reminder that she'd have to pace her Quirk uses better. Hoping nobody had noticed the side effect setting in, she ran at the birds, raising the board with both hands and whacking them aside. If she held them off, it would buy Chi enough time to go through with his plan.

Chi didn't seem all that surprised when Kerianne suddenly appeared with a board to smack down the pesky birds coming his way. Before he completely blitzed away from the scene however, the boy gave her a hard look, one of warning. He gave her that vial for a reason, she needed to use it, even if she didn't feel it necessary.

Tomka gritted his teeth, a bit frustrated with this teleporting quirk he had to deal with. But he was pretty sure he knew part of how it worked at least, having watched Kerianne reach for his shadow and seem to get sucked into it, pulling her right out of his grip. She used shadows of object and people as warp points, it seemed. Maybe if one of Dawn's light animals stayed near him, it would make it harder for her to use her quirk to escape him next time, since all the shadows would be cast away from where he was fighting her?

Putting that idea into the back of his mind, he stood up and took stock of everyone else's position. The shadow warper had moved to grab a weapon and take out some of Dawn's birds, then moved somewhere else. He couldn't see either of them now. They were probably hiding in or behind one of the buildings, he guessed, not looking behind to his own team. That left Renard, who had rushed forward like Tom did at the beginning and was engaged by Steven from a distance using his chains. Tomka didn't see what happened, but Steven appeared to be down and out, at least for the time being. Was Renard that dangerous? Regardless, with Steven down, Renard would have a straight shot at Dawn, who didn't seem like she'd be great in close quarters. Best to intercept before this 3-on-3 became a 3-on-1.

Tomka reached behind him and grabbed one of his drills. He spun his right wrist and bent his knees while swinging his arm in a low arc from back to front, drilling through the pavement beside him at an angle and breaking chunks of the stone-hard substance away. He then swung his arm up, flinging a fistful of head-sized stones toward Renard with little precision, hoping the buckshot would do some damage.

By this time, the pinkette had reached the other side of the building, and thus was behind the other team. He took a moment to calm his breathing, glancing from Tomka, to Steven, and lastly Dawn. Chi knew his strengths and out of other team, Dawn was only one he had some chance at holding back, if only for a few minutes. So, he ended up going for it. Quick, almost soundless steps approached Dawn from behind, Chi bounding towards her swiftly and quietly. 

"Boo!" As soon as he found himself close enough, the boy clad in white wrapped his arms around the girl's body, almost emulating the bear hug Renard gave him and Keri earlier. Having no intent of letting go, Chi locked his hands together, gripping his own wrists in hopes to keep Dawn from potentially struggling out of his grasp while also stepping backwards, wanting to create some distance between not only Dawn's teammates, but his own as well.

Araraki Kaori ~ Noxious

@Nyahahameha@Stern Algorithm@KaijuBaragon@pkken@Riegal@Pirouette

For all the banter around her, Noxious entered with her usual purposeful silence. She cast her icy stare around the room, at the familiar faces and her new recruits alike. Some of the League members, she hadn't seen or heard from in a while, and sure enough they still hadn't shown up. With the task ahead, though, she had no time for flakes, and he certainly didn't either. 

She only spoke once she took her place at the back of the room. "You may be wondering about the choice of arena," she said, the device in her mask amplifying her voice. In truth, the location hadn't been her decision, but she wasn't letting that on. "Since we caught a fair amount of attention, the authorities will be on our trail for quite some time. Luckily, we have a network of hideouts to move between, so we can keep throwing them off, with the appropriate precautions of course." She swept a gloved hand at the people around the hall, including the one she'd tasked with keeping all sound to the inside. "And such carelessness had better not happen again." Her glare fell on Sana.

It all made sense, she supposed. If anyone who'd turned out not to have the stomach for this got caught and betrayed the league's whereabouts, they had options besides Alcatraz, which admittedly would remain their main base of operation. "Anyway," she continued, "our mission still stands, which is the other reason why we're here." Her eyes flicked around the spacious area. "The perfect place for me to see what all of you are capable of. If we're to bring down UJ, and the top three heroes with it, we'll need to be prepared. And alive, may I add, so don't any of you get too carried away."

She'd join in with the training, if she could, but that wasn't to be her task for today. Not because of the lethal nature of her Quirk - she could fight with purely her physical skills while covered up in heavy clothing - but because somebody needed to assess the others. "You'll be fighting one on one. Marionetta versus Ushi-Oni, Corvus versus Hades, Animus versus Dealer..."

Once she'd called out each match-up, she moved back to give them more space, although her poise and tone remained just as commanding. "Take your places and start."

✾ Steel Rose ✾

Popping in the earpiece and leaning forward, Steel Rose watched the situation unfold just as Listener had planned. Well, not exactly as planned, what with the arguing and awkwardness that ensued, but they now had the information they needed.

"Good thinking, and neat trick there!" she commented into the device. While Fluke's and Cedar's casual mention of death brought on a shudder - not exactly words of encouragement for new recruits - she kept her peppy tone and demeanour. "Ehh, let's make sure it doesn't come to that. We've got each other's backs, after all." For all her cheer, her jaw clenched. No way could she let herself fail anyone.

She cast a glance at the hustle and bustle that was the marketplace. "It's safe to say I'll blend in best here, and Listener, I'm guessing you will too?" she asked. "How about you, Iris? Which path is it gonna be, marketplace, alleyway, or your own?" Iris' mention of being a high-flyer, and her plan to listen from above, implied the latter was an option. Although she hadn't brought a bike or glider with her, who knew, maybe she lived close by enough to easily access such a transport mode. To anyone in the streets, a flying Ze would look like just another hoverbiker, especially with the shape of her mask.
