/late to the party!
... Was that a gunshot?
[ His omen goes on alert, sending him the affirmative. Shouto, a hero and Hunter, cannot simply walk away from this discovery and generates a wave of ice to head back into the jungle. He sweeps past towering trees and overgrowth with ease, while his omen follows the disembodied voices pleading for help.
Once they're near the area, Kizu jumps out of his chest, landing on heavy footfalls on the ice as she strains to listen for their location.
You have to help us! Please...
Five o'clock!
Shouto whips around on a circlet of ice and heads in that direction. He cannot abide by needless torture, let alone killing. He's a hero which means it's his job to protect. To face the dangers of the world because saving people is what heroes do, and here in Trench, he took up the mantle of Hunter for the same reasons. Whoever is out there, hurting people, he'll find them.
Only... This isn't your everyday villain.
Riding up in the air, on a wave of crystalline blue, he's easy to spot from any angle, especially for someone who knows how to hit a moving target. The Trophy Hunter takes aim, moves his shot to where he'll be, and the bullet blasts off heading straight for its target but for a snow leopard that tackles him out of the way sending both hero and omen tumbling down to the jungle floor below. ]
Let's get em'!
[ With the sound of his heart drumming in his ears and sweat dripping down his neck, he quickly acts to stabilize his body. He inhales deeply through the nose and holds his breath for a count of 7 seconds before releasing a controlled exhale from his mouth. After doing this multiple times, he successfully steadys his heart rate.
Remaining calm and pragmatic in life or death situations usually comes organically to Megumi, however, being in the presence of the huntsman made him react unnaturally uneasy. Much like how a child feels when staring at an open dark closet door alone in the night.
Waiting to hear what direction the hunter's footsteps travel, Megumi quietly leaves the shadow of the plant. Treading with caution, he stops dead in his tracks when he is greeted once more by the thunderous cacophony of voices and the overwhelming smell of iron and sawed bone. There alone on the jungle floor-- he discarded her like trash-- lay the remains of a butchered rhino calf. One sad glossed marble eye looks up at him. A pale shimmering glow illuminates from a pool of red which draws him in. Easing down he can hear the very essence of this creature from her spilled blood. A long mournful cry escapes.]
I want to see my mommy!!! The boogeyman he came for me.
It was so dark, I didn't know which way to go. Then I heard him coming so I ran. [She continues sobbing]
So much pain I couldn't move. I tried to get up but I fell back down. He came over to me and smiled.-- [ Bastard ]--
He told me he was going to help me last forever. I thought he was going to fix me up, but then he took something sharp out and stabbed it into my snout. He cut and cut. I cried and told him it hurt but he never listened.
[ Everything goes completely still. ]
Stop him before the boogeyman takes something from all of us.
[There is a large gun shot wound to her hind leg. More then enough bits had been blasted off to stop the animal from fleeing. In fact the bullet choice was excessive. But, this is not what caused the animal's death. No, this would have been merciful by comparison. Just underneath that lonely glass eye, at the very tip of her face lay a crudely cut crater. Tiny tendrils of red flesh hang from where her horn once stood.
Megumi swallows hard before gently closing the small one's eye.
He did this while she was still alive. She never had a chance. This was no fair fight. It was an outright slaughter. All these gruesome forbidden acts done to a baby and for what reason, a fucking "trophy"?!
Megumi's fists clench together tightly as his blood boils with rage at the
wanton cruelty and blatant disregard for empathy. ]
You deserved so much more from life. I promise to bring back what he has taken from you and...
[!!Just then he hears a loud crash on to the jungle floor. With a vindictive look in his eye, he snaps up and goes into a fighting stance preparing himself for battle.]
istg need more bruised and battered icons for this idiot!
Falling with grace - aka finding a safe route - is no longer an option. He's moved on to not killing himself by hitting the ground head-on. His breath gets knocked out of him when he hits a thick branch that breaks on impact with a sound like thunder. Free-falling, he grabs at nearby vines that burn his skin and end up snapping from the excess load, but he manages to figure out which way is down.
Gritting his teeth, he calls on one last surge of ice. It forms beneath his feet twisting and turning in sharp concentric circles to eat up his momentum as it hits the ground floor sending the young hero rolling on a crystalline slide of his own creation.
Bruised and battered, he's delivered right to Megumi's feet looking no better than a tattered rag doll.
Just... give him a minute... or two. ]
I know the feeling! There is never enough icons!!
MaybeOne day Megumi will learn to not question the craziness of the Trench, but today is definitely not that day.Where the hell did you come from?!
[ His entrance was so unexpected that Megumi's hands just collapse on each other. His rigid body relaxes and he is struck dumbfounded. Okay so weird stuff happens in the Trench all the time but people falling out of the sky and landing at his feet is definitely a first!
Kage leaps out of Megumi's shadow and immediately rushes over to the injured hero's side. After establishing that he is yes indeed alive, she begins investigating every inch of him. Taking in his scent, she picks up on fresh icy notes mixed with an earthy green tea. (Once she has your smell she remembers you forever!) She sniffs his ear and shakes her large head back and forth before letting out a small sneeze. As she gets to his legs she discovers the faint smell of gunpowder. She stops and barks once. Megumi nods
his mouth still hanging opengiving her the okay. She nudges his banged up head with her muzzle lightly.Satisfied she has him memorized, she trots back over to her companion whos still trying to process what just happened. ]
also is that his omen! she's so bold!
A dog...?
With great effort, he rolls onto his hands and knees and groans from the pain of bruised ribs. Lifting his head, mismatched eyes recognize Megumi, and... that doesn't really get him any closer to figuring out who shot at him. At least he knows it wasn't him.
His chest rises from heavy breaths that burn down his side. He pushes past it to get out what's important. ]
... Someone. Shot at me.
[ Sorry, Megumi he's going to need a few more minutes here. ]
She is! She's very active and friendly (to non threats of course!)
Eyes darting all over the young man- as he tries to evaluate the extent of the damage.- His breathing is ragged could his...- Kage's ear twitch up amd back as quiet footsteps appear to be fast approaching. --is he returning? The forbidden blood begins to rage. Megumi clutches his ears as the voices seem to drill into his head.]
Hurry!
He's Coming!!
[ Bouncing off the inside of his skull, they seem to be spiraling throughout his mind as the perpetrator returns to the scene of the crime. ]
Do Something!!!
[ Sixth sense. A chilling spine tingling sensation begins to creep up Megumi's back. Heart beats faster-we are at a clear disadvantage- and almost involuntarily he grabs on to Shouto's shoulders yanking him back towards the thick undergrowth. (It's gonna hurt but it's better then being shot at.)]
She's adorable! Her and Kizu need to meet!
Who's coming?
[ He tries to look around but the movement blurs his vision, so he stops. He needs a moment, but they don't have a moment, and Megumi is panicking. Do something! ]
Where are they?!
[ He shakes off the dredges of vertigo and tries to look for the incoming attack when he's yanked by the shoulder. He hisses but doesn't lash out, moving with Megumi as best he can using him as an anchor with the world spinning around him. With no idea where he's going or what's attacking, he lets Megumi take the lead and focuses on keeping up trying to ignore the jolt of pain with every step he takes. ]
Thank you! I love Kizu's design and I totally want them to meet
The spectral voices swell and rise up in a thunderous resonating chorus.]
He's here, the boogeyman!
[ Adrenaline courses through his veins.]
Get down!
[ Megumi barks out this order as his body seems to react out of pure
piss and vinegarintuition.Dropping his unoccupied shoulder, Megumi's hips pivot towards the huntsman as his free hand swings and chops the barrel sending-the shot meant for him- askew whizzing just past the injured hero's head.
As if on cue, Kage leaps forward, sinking her teeth into the soft flesh of the hunter's arm. Her jaw deadlocks, like a vise grip, as her head thrashes from side to side. Teeth completely bared, as saliva flies in every direction. The canin's eye teeth crunch completely down to the bone sounding like a raw carrot being bitten into.
The smell of fresh gunpowder and iron hang heavy in the air.]
Thank you! And yes! Soon!!!
He rolls back onto his knees - still holding his side - just in time to see the wolf snap her teeth into the Huntsman, and the sound of bone-crunching under the powerful jaw of a predator makes him jolt into action. ]
Out of the way!
[ Slamming his right hand on the ground, a wall of ice bursts forth sailing across the distance slamming into the hunter sending him flying while putting a wall between them. ]
no subject
Two dilated eyes look towards Shouto.- he was in rough shape before and that was a large attack-]
Take a few minutes for yourself. It's looks like you've been through a lot. [His voice even toned with a hint of concern for his ally.
A moment passes allowing Kage to shift back out of the darkness. Her large moon eyes stare up at Megumi. Reaching into his pocket, he retrieves and tosses a treat size morsel of deer jerky. She jumps up catching the tidbit and snaps it up happily. If it wasn't for the situation they were in the scene looks much like a boy and his dog.
In reality this was an exceptionally fed up teen covered in blood feeding his wolf.His eyes shift towards the direction of the hostile. Squinting but ultimately unable to discern the position and condition of the huntsman.With no verbal communication Kage understands she must investigate the state of the enemy.
Facing away from Shouto, he gets another good look at the spilled blood. He clenches his fists and grits his teeth.
no subject
Who was that?
[ Walking up to Megumi's side, Todoroki follows his eyes and spots the blood - No good - and freezes it on the spot before it can corrupt the forest. ]
Did it get on your omen?
[ Does blood corrupt omens? ]
no subject
He [using the word very loosely ] is a hunter of hunters and a threat to the innocent animals and sleepers of this jungle.
Look [ he points to the carcass of the juvenile rhino. ] this is what he's been doing. Listen [ he pauses and puts his hand to his ear ] Can't you hear their voices? He takes joy in what he does.[ Megumi's face grimaces at the thought of his first time actually seeing huntsman. ]
She's fine, [ the majority of the blood has fallen to the ground ]. She eats all sorts of things.
no subject
We won't be denied! Murderer. Killer. Butcher! BUTCHER! BUTCHER!
Repugnance and fear arise from the cries of outrage. Descriptions come next. Every sordid detail laid bare in stark clarity. He grimaces, wanting to look away from the dead yet unwilling to ignore the glittering blood laced with the condemnation of the dead.
Before he can answer him, question, take stock of his own thoughts the wall explodes in a shower of ice, sending the foundation crumbling to the ground as the Huntsman continues his game. ]
I got your email after I sent the other! Sorry!
And here I thought, you'd both be a quick kill? [ He cocks the barrel of his gun before pointing it towards Megumi. ] One hiding in the bushes shaking like a leaf. [ He swings the gun towards Shouto. ] And the other completely exposed surfing the sky.
Just two more lost children, I can use as target practice. [ He then points the gun upwards. Bang!- A loud distressed avian call followed by a Crimson topaz parrot plummeting to the ground. He approaches the bird, plucking a single feather and adding it to his cap. Never once does he take his eyes off his quarry. Glittery blood begins to pour from the poor creature's chest. ]
Two more feathers in my cap if you will. [ His eyebrows raise as a wickedly distorted smile carves into his face.
Blood surges in Megumi's vain just listening to this man's- no that's not right, this monster's callous disregard for life. A blue shadowy aura emits from his body. ]
Kage now! [ The onyx she wolf pounces savagely down from behind biting into his shoulder with another one of her famous death grips. This causes the huntsman gun to aim back up towards the sky-
he, no it's off balance!!The distractions are just enough for him to make a quick hand sign, as pitch black jack rabbits leap out from the umbra scattering in all different directions. Amid all the chaos he is able to gain some advantage as he steps out of sight and into the shadows. ]
No worries! thanks for the heads up!
Perched atop a slab of ice, he stands above them in utter superiority swinging his weapon of choice from one to the other, deciding who to kill first.
Todoroki glares, blood boiling. When the shot rings out, leaves rain down; another life cut short. BUTCHER! The roar of voices starts up, yelling over each other. Sound everywhere. Megumi takes a stance and Todoroki mirrors him. Blood drips down his fingers - corruption taking root.
Kage now! ]
Kizu!
[ She explodes from his chest at a full run leaping into the fray. The snow leopard joins the wolf harboring his anger. Smashes into the Hunter. Ripes and claws into flesh, splintering bone. Payment for the dead. Together, they topple the monster to the ground lapsing into savagery, while Todoroki looks on, filled with anger and primal curiosity. ]
Megumi must analyze what's happening sorry for the mini tldr!!
The duo thrash and ravage his body, as chunks of flesh pour obscene amounts of blood onto the floor of the canopy. - with that much blood loss he should be gone,so why is Kage and the snow leopard still attacking??
This question catches him and prevents him from further being swept up in the moment of retribution for all those murders. Megumi's training in controlling and channeling his emotions into productive means kicks in and gives him a moment of clarity.
How exactly can an elderly man take that kind of damage and still be alive???
Yes this is the Trench, but logic should be applicable even in the hell hole!His arms moved with such ease swinging that gun around as if he hadn't just been mauled by a wolf, and the amount of blood that's spilled is at least, no if not more than the average amount (1.5 L to be exact) found in an adult body.- this just doesn't add up unless...
Megumi's demeanor shifts as his shoulders drop from his attack ready stance. He shoots a critical glance over the bloody scene, hoping to be able to discern the enemy's current condition. ]
Kage, hold.
[ On command she stops her attack and keeps the huntsman pinned under her large frame.]
no worries! sorry for going mia for a week! easter was a busy!
Megumi calls back his omen, and Todoroki does the same only Kizu doesn't listen, snarling at the Hunter and snapping down on the hand holding the rifle, drawing blood. ]
No problem! I understand, I was pretty busy too!!
His eyes narrow and trace the mess of carnage before him. Just under Kage's massive paw, inside an open gash, tiny fibers of tissue and muscle begin to web together. A jagged bloody edge of skin reaches out sprouting and grow towards nearby ripped flesh. Much like the way a flower reaches towards sunlight, the skin extends making contact with other damaged pieces. Once the two connect, coagulated blood acts as a stitch binding the two together, becoming one cohesive part. All of these actions happen on a macro and micro level.
Megumi's eyes stop abruptly. Underneath Kizu's bite the skin remains torn, bloody and most importantly damaged .So there is a limit to his regeneration.]
We can't let him get up!
[There is a subtle warning tone in his voice as he motions for Shouto to come towards the scene.]
no subject
Instead, a wall of ice snaps forward from the tips of his fingers generating at a rapid pace encasing the rifle in ice and driving it away in a skyward trajectory of twisting blue a kilometer above the canopy in less than a few seconds.
Todoroki lets out a misty breath, Kizu in his mind, finally filling him in on the regeneration powers that closely resemble that of one of the Nomu's from his world. So much so that the small moment of leniency has the same hand generating on the spot and grabbing the omen by the throat and tossing her aside like ragdoll. ]
Kizu!
[ He stays his ground, feeling his omen in his mind. Calm like an arctic tundra as she gets back to her feet, back arching in defiance before she snaps forward to resume the attack. ]
no subject
As the icy wind whisks the gun far from reach, Megumi dips down into his own darkness.
Suddenly a tall wispy reaper figure appears to come out of the very ground behind the huntsman.In his hand a piercing raven sheen blade veiled in a deathly aura rises up through the air.
It's only fair.
Slamming down with great speed and complete resolve. One swift motion separates tissue from bone and head from neck. Grabbing the head by the hair and sending it soaring through the night over the two large carnivores.
Smash
It hits a nearby tree with a heavy thud rolling a short distance before stopping close to Shouto's feet. The man's expression is still burned into his skull. A fake deranged clown smile plastered to his cheeks is partially covered up by a mustache caked with matted blood, still warm to the touch. Crazed pale blue bloodshot eyes stare up with an unmistakable blood lust. It's so intense it's almost contagious. ]
no subject
He stiffens, eyes wide with horror at the sight of the headless hunter, he doesn't even notice what's happening with Megumi. Unused to this level of violence, the young hero's thoughts go into disarray prompting Kizu to snarl and come charging forward using her great bulk to push him away from the blood. She snaps her jaws at the smirking hunter, biting down hard on his head and flinging it back into the jungle. Todoroki watches it go out of sight, and feels his limbs go weak at the sight but remains upright. Kizu is there within seconds, and he lets his fingers grab at her great coat, using her presence to leverage his thoughts back into a semblance of order without breaking down. ]
no subject
[The body continues to involuntarily twitch and spasm. Puncture holes and gashes attempt to heal as bits of the neck flesh reach upward trying to connect to a head that's no longer attached.
Stained in blood, the thick smell of iron is nauesating. His pupils constrict as a guttural sound sends a gush of hot stomach acid into his mouth. Not wanting to vomit directly on the body, he spins around and crouches down. One after another, relentless waves of retches only stopping because of a lack of substance and excruciating abdominal fatigue.
Turning around is impossible because that corpse makes everything all too real. The transgression is laid out. There's no taking it back and nothing to hide behind.
Out here it's live or be killed.
Taking responsibility feels like the weight of the entire ocean crashing down. Suffocating . But he would be damned first before ever giving this burden away.
His eyes glaze over. Rapid gasps of air fill his lungs making his heart pound and vision blur. A cold sweat pastes his bangs on to his clammy forehead.
Why does it feel so wrong to do what's right?]
no subject
Heroes are supposed to save people. They don't kill. Not like this. With intent.
He keeps himself together, holding onto Kizu for strength as he tries to rid himself of the image of that severed head at his feet. But his reaction is nothing compared to-- ]
Megumi!
[ Fear spikes his adrenaline, giving him strength enough to reach his side. He skids down to his side. An arm goes around his back to keep him steady as he empties the contents of his stomach on the ground. He holds on to him, making sure he doesn't topple forward onto his own vomit. ]
Megumi. Are you okay?
[ He wipes the bile off his mouth with the back of his hand, mismatched eyes looking frantic for the first time since they've met. ]
no subject
Digging his nails into the dirt desperately trying to ground his breathing and quiet his spinning mind.
The touch to his face comes as a complete surprise.
Why is he being kind to me after that?
The gesture reassures Megumi that Shouto wouldn't have been able to kill this opponent.
It's not that he wanted to do, it's that he had to.
Thoughts of the past flood his mind's eye. A menacing smile, sharp claw-like nails plunge into Itdori's chest, ripping his still beating heart from his body and tossing it aside like garbage. A giant gaping guilty hole stares back.
Too many of his classmates never coming back from missions with no explanation. Most of the adults don't care that they are being sent to slaughter. Eager to exploit and dump when they are no longer of use. Needless to say, he is tired of people dying unjustly.
Snapping his head towards Shouto looking directly into his eyes. He sees the panicked look and feels responsible.
He is absolutely not okay.]
I'm fine. [His voice hoarse and low.
He swallows and then casts his eyes back to the ground unable to keep eye contact. Shouto's expression, forces him to concentrate on reeling his mind back in an attempt to calm down. He takes measured breathes.]
Are you alright?
[He still can't make eye contact with him and his voice is ragged but sincere.].
no subject
I'm not the one who threw up.
[ You aren't fooling him! Now sit there and let him take care of you!
Unclipping one of his empty canisters from his belt, Todoroki uses his right to fill it with ice and his left to liquify it to room temperature. When he's done, he hands Megumi the canister of water. ]
Wash your mouth with this and take a drink. You vomited bile. You need to wash down the acid.
Thatsagreat icon I need more like that! Sory for late edit I realized I didn't copyover completetag
