A grizzled Hunter barks at Dabi, "Get your 'friendly' fire in check or get out!!"
Midoriya bounds down towards the Beast curling into nascence, hanging on the cliff via Blackwhip to get a closer look at its hard shell. There isn't much he can discern through the opaque covering other than what Danger Sense tells him.
"It's still alive!" Needless to say, so he doesn't say it, it's still pissed.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" the Hunter growls. "Someone else to 'Smash' it? Let's kill it then!" At the Hunter's declaration, several others immediately erupt into a chorus of dissent.
no subject
One of the other hunters pats the angry one on the shoulder, giving him a sympathetic ear for the growling while Dabi doesn't pay attention. The hunters who've worked with Dabi before know of his tendencies and skills; they knew to clear out when he started up.
What the hell's that kid doing? Hanging up there on the cliff, looking at the carapace-like cocoon wrapped around the creature. "Tsk-" Still alive, Midoriya says. Dabi's lips twitch in a slight curl of annoyance. Of course it's not going to die that easily.
Whether it's in there for protection to wait out the threat or if it's charging up for another offense is the biggest question.
And then the 'fun' moment happens, with one Hunter rallying the cry to kill it and the other section of Hunters denouncing the decision. "They're able to help these beings at the Sanctuary," one of them chimes in. "Unless ya gonna teleport its slimy keister over there, we'd have to escort it the whole way!" another one counters. "But it's someone who can be saved!" a third retorts, echoing Midoriya's sentiment. "It's a creature that's murdered people already!" a fourth snarls.
Idiots. He's not going to stand around arguing. Dabi steps off to the side and heads towards the cocoon.
*ca-chick*
Only to pause when a crossbow-type weapon aims at the back of his head.
*~shing~*
Which begets a sword held to the crossbow owner's throat.
Domino effect through the rest of them. Hmph, so that's how it's going to be. Some stalemate... Flames flicker around the tips of his fingers. Guess he could incinerate them all...
no subject
There's no room for infighting. Midoriya learned that more than a year ago during a final exam and witnessed how it can go wrong while testing for his Provisional Hero License. This and the raised weapons make him a touch irritated, as does the ping from Danger Sense.
Midoriya swings down and marches towards the main group now divided in two. He knows Shouto can overheat unless he cools down with his ice, so the smoke off Dabi is concerning. Dabi looks well on his way to getting reprimanded later, but he's not the only one.
"I think we can get a field team over here to de-Beast. I can--"
"There's too little chance of that working, that thing's too huge," a Hunter with a spiked shield interrupts, dismissive of both Deku's age and inexperience. "I don't even know why you want to save it. Hunters have been killing Beasts just fine."
"Maybe if we turned more Beasts back to what they were," grumbles another, "we wouldn't have to fight so many in the first place."
All argument falls silent when the shell shudders against the cliff hard enough to rend a jagged CRACK! in its face.
"Watch out!" comes another preemptive warning from the Hero as his head turns in alarm, indicating the Beast is not just escaping.
no subject
Dabi rolls his eyes as he tilts his head up and leers towards Midoriya. What a naive idiot, thinking everyone he sees is going to magically get along thanks to some power of group effort. They're here to hunt the beast and deal with it; the difference isn't from the first part, but the last one. You may not want to accept it, but there's always room for infighting, idiot.
The villain stands his ground where he is, one) because the bolt aimed at the back of his head is still a threat, and two) those who worked with him before know he's capable of unleashing an inferno and likely have no desire to get caught up in it. Relax, kid. The smoke drifting off him isn't from his own flesh just yet. It's burning some of the mess from that creature.
He turns in place as Midoriya approaches, looking at the crossbow in front of his face. Sweeping his gaze and body in a lazy pan across the infighting crowd. Listening to their words and angry counter arguments thrown at each other.
"You can't just walk in here and tell us to change the way we've been doing things for years! We know far more about these creatures and how to deal with them than any of you idiotic Sleepers!" another Hunter rounds, though the anger doesn't seem as shared with the others. Sounds more like a personal issue with that one.
"If we turn them back, they'll just get corrupted again and we'll have to fight them another time," worries a fellow member.
Dabi glances over his shoulder at the "crack!" noise. That's all he needs and he immediately snaps his hand up, knocking the crossbow off to the side and flaring up his fire without warning. Blue flames roar to life, incinerating the crossbow and torching the Hunter's hand in the process.
"Dabi!"
"Urusei. He's lucky I didn't burn the rest of him." Dabi glares at one of his own allies and they fall silent. Before the villain launches himself up into the air with a stream of flames. Not letting anyone else have a chance, he hauls both hands over his head, leaving the rest of them to shield themselves from the raging heat below, and charges up two massive balls of flames. Focusing on the creature's cracking chrysalis, Dabi slams both hands forward. "Jet Burn!"
Burn to ash and go to Hell!
sneakin in one during hiatus | cw: blood and gore
"Why are you burning us?!" he yells with fury, and he doesn't know if the thrumming of One For All in his limbs is going to be directed at the Beast or Dabi. When Dabi gets in the air, Midoriya switches to a third option: rescue. He snatches the injured crossbowman and carries him out of the way.
Jet Burn. It's Endeavor's move. Midoriya would know it anywhere, not only because he's a Hero otaku, but because he interned with Endeavor. Instead of perfectly modulated orange flame, blue shoots out wildly. Considering the steam rising off Dabi earlier, it seems almost like he has a death wish...
Midoriya shields his eyes against the light with an arm, the other occupied with his rescued ally, and there is a great rending THOOM of a noise from the shell. The Beast bursts out, no longer willowy but an absolute unit. Webbed tines now protects the chest and back, and the arms have sprouted clawed fingers. The head has transformed from eerily beautiful to monstrous, snub-nosed and large-jawed, but the rictus grin is the same.
Great jaws chomp the Trenchie who criticized Sleepers just seconds ago, so completely it leaves nothing worth salvaging. Blood drips from its teeth. The Beast plows into the line of Hunters, easily crossing the beach and lashing out with its many tentacles at the same time. Beyond them is the city.
For the first time, Midoriya experiences that feeling of total crisis. He knows of the damage Gigantomachia caused. He can't let something like that happen again. Midoriya sets the Hunter down and bounds after the Beast with no thoughts in his head but this.
oh how lewd~
With the other Hunters diving out of the way and backing off from the flames, a few of them cursing Dabi and others reminding them that's part of the risk of Hunting with Sleepers (and to be fair, the ones who worked with Dabi before *did* try to warn them), Dabi's free to fire, Midoriya should be thanking him he took to the sky and fired downward rather than simply blasting the Jet Burn straight ahead. He's cooled down enough that this burst just barely rises to his safe threshhold, burning him without causing further scarring. But it's the last he can do without another longer cool down. Hence why he resorted to trying to finish the damn thing off in one moves.
He has a death wish. Just not one that can be accomplished here.
Turquoise eyes widen at the sudden eruption. What had once been a relatively man-sized creature was now a towering monstrosity, tendrils crashing through the close waves around it and cracking against the cliff wall it'd taken refuge under. Dabi immediately backs off, dropping to the ground with a burst of flames from his feet to catch himself. He throws an arm up, shielding his face from the sudden clamp of jaws biting a Trench local clean off his feet. Literally. It's coming! Instinct shoves his legs, moving in a quick jump to the side to avoid the rampaging Beast as it rushes through the group. Two of them are far enough away they at least try to hurl long-range weapons it it.
Dabi rolls to his feet, standing on one knee as he watches the creature tear its way towards Trench with angry roars. And there goes the green brat, crackling with lightning and black tendrils. Almost immediately fighting breaks out in the ranks of Hunters, shouting at the ones who resisted the other side's urges to slay the monster in its weaker form. Now, because of their idiocy, they have to deal with an even greater threat! This is what happens when you try to "save" a fucking Beast!
Dabi's left behind as the squabbling group charges after the beast. Climbing to his feet, he watches them chase Midoriya and his quarry. Yeah... have fun with that. He did his part and those idiots opted for the "saving" route. This is no longer his problem. Should've listened to him, huh.
