What: Lance killed Reaper, Maul's boyfriend, and now Maul wants revenge!
When: Nov. 1st-3rd
Where:

Content Warnings: Property destruction, injuries (including biting)



Though the Gate may be a lantern location, when Lance spoke to Maul he wasn’t near enough to a lantern that could take him there faster than his feet. He’s been to Prufrock often enough by now to know the street that will take him directly to the gates of… well, The Gate. He’s on the main road leading to the massive colosseum, moving at a fast pace and in Trench appropriate garb. If Maul gets there first and doesn’t find him there, well…

Maul, full of fury and the desire for revenge, can feel the Dark Side closer to his grasp than it has been in a very long time. He marches off to where the Gate is at, and every so often along the streets, something will happen. A light shorts out, a trash can crunches down into a small ball, a window shatters. Just small signs that his rage is ready to overflow. Once he reaches Prufrock, he reaches out with the Dark Side and finds he can sense Lance’s mind close by. Once he has a lock on him, off he goes. If they don’t reach the Gate, well, Maul wasn’t joking when he said he’d be willing to raze the town to the ground in his grief and anger.

When he spots Lance up again, the street beneath the paladin’s feet will begin to tremble. "You!" Maul howls out, his double-bladed lightsaber being immediately ignited. He points one end at Lance. “Prepare to die!”

“...Shit.” Is Lance’s eloquent reply. Well, at least Maul announced himself instead of just jumping right in. This whole mess is too overwhelming for him to spare more than half a thought to Maul’s Hollywood worthy line. Under other circumstances he might laugh. But he’s got to focus here, the street seems sparse right now and Maul’s shout combined with the lightsaber seems to have some people scattering. Except some Hunters who seem interested to watch.

Blue-gold bright light curls off his arms like plasma arcs off the surface of the sun as he raises them to get ready to try to take Maul on. He turns his back to the direction of the gate so he can more easily try to maneuver in that direction and lead the man there. His empathic powers are overloaded by the pure hate and pain radiating off of Maul and that’s distracting, but he ignores it like he does so many other things every day.

“Give it your best shot,” he tries to gently goad to maintain Maul’s focus on him and him alone as he forms a plasma staff in one glowing hand.

The fight that starts at this point will rage on for three days straight as Maul does his utter best to gain revenge on Lance. The first few hours of it will take place in the Prufrock district and there will be a very large amount of property damage in the two main streets that lead up to the Gate from Maul using the Force to throw rooftops and other large objects he can grab with the Force at Lance, who will do his best to control their fall or if he can’t do that, incinerate them with his abilities. There's going to be at least one NPC shop owner who forever has Maul on his shit list after this because Maul causes his little store of magical knicknacks to completely collapse.

Lance will have given a couple characters heads up that he’s telling Maul to meet him at the Gate and those characters and others will work on keeping the path clear. During this time, there will be a lot of natives being displaced from their homes and businesses needing help to get away from the impromptu battlefield. Maul won’t care while Lance will do his utter best to contain his opponent from causing too much death or destruction.

Once Lance sees a clear path to the gate, he will full body grab Maul and use his powers to rocket them both over there after a little while of trying to lead him there slowly. The two of them will continue fighting in the arena where nobody can be hurt for the remaining 2.75 days until both are too exhausted to continue. As long as no one tries to interrupt the fight or take Lance’s side, Maul will ignore them, but anyone is welcome to simply watch and/or make pithy comments with others watching in the arena’s stands about how dramatic this whole business is. Lance will mostly be trying to stay alive and wear Maul down, trying to keep his wrath on him and nobody else.

Eventually, Maul will concede he can’t defeat Lance, and limp off to the disaster house where Reaper lives to go lick his wounds and recover his strength. He won’t be apologetic at all for the chaos he’s going to be causing. Lance will tend to his own wounds and get to fixing up Maul’s damages in Prufrock once he’s regained some strength, viewing them as his responsibility as well.

When the destruction gets too out of hand, Midoriya is called away from the neighboring district of Crenshaw for support. The fastest way there is leaping from rooftop to rooftop. Midoriya--in his hero costume as Deku--is surrounded by the sparking energy of One For All as he comes to a stop on a nearby building.

Glass litters the streets. Dust kicks up and turns the remaining lunar orbs a sickly yellow. There's a great rumble and crash of a structure being torn apart. Something large hurtles through the smoke. The roof splinters as it flies through the air, dropping tiles everywhere. Roofs aren't built to be thrown. One large piece breaks off and hurtles towards a row of townhouses. He jumps up, dodging debris, and aims a downward roundhouse kick to redirect it.

"ST. LOUIS SMASH!!!"

The kickback mechanism of his Iron Soles delivers a second helping of his super strength and helps shatter it. The pieces fall harmlessly onto the street.

He lands and quickly picks out where most of the destruction is coming from. One of the combatants (Lance?!) is attempting to lead the fight towards the Gate. The other is using telekinesis. Flying debris crashes all along the street. Midoriya dodges, narrowly avoiding getting flattened by another large chunk, a strained expression on his face. Even if he could get close, there were--

Screams. They draw him like a moth to a flame. They yank all his senses into a single-minded rush as he turns. Before he can think, he's running towards them instead.

Ruby wasn't about to miss out on Trench's first big old sleeper on sleeper brawl. Her heart was heavy for both Lance and Maul's situations respectfully but she didn't want the people around town to suffer needlessly if she could help it. Maul wasn't exactly known to do things with an ounce of subtlety and the bits of roof tops flying around was just proof of that. She was going to do damage control the best she could and hope that Maul and Lance could work this out in their own way.

She Deku smash through one of the pieces and her silver eye goes wide with wonder- She had seen his powers in use once before but it was definitely an amazing sight. Unfortunately there was more to be done and she quickly used her semblance to break up into slushy frost that resembled flower petals and rushed along toward anyone in the line of fire. When the frost touched them they two would break apart into the same mass of speed until they were out of harms way at which point anyone Ruby had been carrying along with herself would reform back into their normal selves.

She threw Deku a thumbs up and smiled.

"Care for a team up? Feel like we'll get more accomplished."

Midoriya has no context for the fight, only that one of them is trying to lead the other towards the indestructible Gate arena amidst flying rubble and blinding flashes of light. That seems to be the best they can do for now, and he and Ruby need to do the best they can right here.

Needless to say, he's excited to see her.

"Rose-san! Perfect!!"

Amazing, really. Her power is well-suited for rescue operations, mobility, evasion... But there's no time to fanboy about it. They have their work cut out for them. All Midoriya can do is put his training into practice. Establish a line, get people behind it, hold it. And they need a triage station, even if it's just a tarp on the ground, and transport for those who couldn't move... He has no doubt he'd find injured victims closer to the source of the destruction. This is a mess.

But, it is rather like his Provisional Hero License exam. It's familiar.

"That building over there should provide cover." He points to a complex much larger than anything he's seeing thrown. "Tell anyone who can move to go to Crenshaw District. It's too dangerous for any bystanders to be watching."
