[Sense of responsibility. Guilt. Nailed it.

At any moment the walls could cave in, crushing and trapping him underneath. Sensing the immediate danger, Kage, a sizable jet black wolf with a unique red pattern of dots on her forehead, lunges out of the shadows.]

Check the house for anyone.

[Incredibly intuitive, the canine gets to work. Feverishly sniffing the ground, separating from Megumi for now.

The dank interior suggests this particular place must have been abandoned a while ago. A humid moldy scent hangs in the air meaning there has to be considerable water damage. It also appears that the electric hasn't been on for some time. A paper scattered on an old coffee table catches his eye. The headline reads: Rioter Revelations. Picking up the news article.

SLAM. Chunks of plaster from the ceiling begin to rain down. Shoving the article into his shadow. It's indeed important, but again now's not the time. Led by an invisible force, the young man finds himself on the other side of the living quarters, facing a dark wooden door. Just beyond that- the Reaper's rampage continues to unfold.

The tiny tentacle-like spines of its crown flare outward- reaching towards its intended targets. The bright blue flames alert the creature to Dabi.

By this point, it has multiple burn wounds on its chest plate from the series of explosions. Not in perfect health, but still left with plenty of fight.

Taking a deep breath, the monster builds up an immense amount of gas and pressure in its gut before expelling a thick black smog into the air. Using the craters along it's spine as a chimney to pump the toxins outward. The smell that taints the air has a chlorine quality to it. Breathing in the filth, will cause the esophagus to burn and over a relatively short period of time, it can cause drowsiness and confusion.]

[told ya he's been around plenty of heroes.

dabi probably isn't helping the house by walking on the roof, but he's not exactly a 200 lbs mass of muscle either. then again, with the rain making the roof slick, a single slip and fall could put him through said roof... good thing he knows how to fly and has good reaction speed.

there's the reaper. still crashing around in the abandoned residential area. so it really has been hunting for megumi (and presumably himself) all this time, rather than going after easier prey. the hell is this thing then? some sentient monster with the capacity for grudges? or something else... noticing the damage on its body, dabi takes some security in this thing being capable of injury. good. they're not dealing with some damn "invulnerable" aspect.

but when that gout of smog belches from the vents in its back (gross), dabi pulls a hand back, charging up a ball of flame in his palm. it's as bright as a star in the night sky, all the wreckage around him and the dark air making the swirling flames stand out as they condense into a more powerful and wild splay.

the lobs the entire thing forward like pitching a baseball. fire streaks across the sky, a comet shooting over the rooftops. not aimed at the creature itself but rather punching its way into the cloud of black smog. a brief spark and the entire orb explodes in a roar of open flame, blue fire lashing out in callous flares like a sun detonating within the cloud. hey, whatever that shit is, dabi doesn't think it's gonna help them. so he's trying to get rid of it preemptively. if it's flammable, then that's bonus for him.

and if the reaper as to suck in another breath to try and redo the smog, then they've clocked as important and can use it to their advantage.]

Opening the door, Megumi is hit with an instant blast of recognizable bright cyan heat. He stayed?? Whooshing past his face- messy black hair wildly whips backward. Instinctually shielding his eyes with both arms he peaks through the slits. A truly strange sight begins to unfold.

Lined up behind the great behemoth is a row of cultists. Far enough away to not be hit, but close enough to the action. Two of these hooded individuals are holding something in their hands.

Boom ! Boom ! Boom !

A series of rapid fire shots and explosions detonate. The flammable toxin takes on a deadlier quality. One resembling an artificial sun. As the fire connects and eats away at the particles- the atmosphere becomes illuminated- like a super nova- scattering light outward as a sea of shadows forms behind the creature.

Distracted. Megumi takes advantage of the situation. Flashing a quick hand sign before rushing directly in front of the monster.

Rearing backwards, cornered and defensive. The creature lashes out like a rabid animal. Getting ready to leap forward but it's clear something unseen is holding its hind legs firmly into the ground.] Gripping wildly the into the pavement in an attempt to break free-]

Shoot it!!

[The command is laced with stress and takes on a strange sort of desperation. The kind that suggests he might not be able to hold this thing down for long.]

[you can thank him later, "hero". dabi lowers his arm and braces one leg behind him to resist the potential explosion. if that shit's flammable and/or explosive, he's up here on the roof not exactly too far away and would rather not get blown off it via the resulting backdraft. or if the creature decides to attack him in response...

from his position, dabi can't see the cultists behind the creature, focusing instead on the being itself and the destruction the flames are causing it. as megumi pointed out, the charred hole on its side gives him the advantage of actually being able to kill this thing if he can get enough fire on it for long enough. but keeping it still for that to happen is annoying.

oh look! it's caught on fire. a small flicker of pride wanders across his normally blase expression. lighting up the area around them, his flames detonate within the cloud and combust the particles one by one in a growing swell of blue. explosion turns to flare and bathes the surrounding buildings in blue light.

not that it really charred the main problem... dabi blinks when a figure dashes out into the fray. only takes a second to recognize that ridiculous mess of spikey hair. megumi? the fuck's he doing here? thought he went off to go protect a buncha people he thought might be stuck in the buildings. his attention jerks back to the reaver (reaper? dabi didn't pay attention) as it tries to jump. only to notice the legs jerk in a telltale sign of imprisonment.

shoot it!

well that takes care of the motion problem. he breaks forward in a rush, a spurt of flame behind him propelling the villain through the air and over the roof towards the creature. not gonna lob another ball at it. this time, he wants to ensure it's down for the count. flames gather as the wind pulls past him, hair and coat dragged backwards in the rush. one arm slams in front of him, hand open and palm spread.]

Jet Burn!

[wider than his flamethrower from before, a blast of flames almost twice his own height roars out, washing over the creature's face and front in a downward angle. not giving it a chance to duck or dodge since jumping is eliminated. the scorching heat immediately flashfries the rooftops around them, melts metal and boils stone, turning the ground itself into a blackened, sizzling skillet.]
