[ The gunshot echoes through the foliage drawing his attention away from his current pursuit, and back to the jungle he left behind on a wave of ice. ]

... 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. ]
swellter: (Hero: Battle Cry)

istg need more bruised and battered icons for this idiot!

[ Another gunshot booms through the jungle soon after the first. A wall of ice meets it head-on throwing the bullet off course when it punches through scattering the remains. Shouto covers his face from the onslaught that pelts his falling form. Twisting and tumbling in the air, he activates his quirk and another wave of ice surges from below. His snow boots dig into the frozen ice. He even manages to ride it a few moments before a third shot breaks it apart, sending him toppling beneath the canopy where he hits a myriad of overgrown branches of every shade of green.

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. ]

also is that his omen! she's so bold!

[ A voice in the distance penetrates through the buzz in his head while he relearns how to breathe without hurting. Kizu, now hidden inside his chest, remains alert. She recognizes Megumi from their last encounter and allows his omen to approach without consequence. Shouto for his part only realizes he's being examined by the heavy breathing near his ear and the loud bark clues him into what it was that just scented him.

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's adorable! Her and Kizu need to meet!

[personal profile] swellter 2022-04-10 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Picking up on the alarm in his tone, Todoroki tries to get up but bruised ribs make it impossible to make that transition any faster than a snail's pace. Breathing hard, he gets back to his feet, an arm holding his side as he tries to shake off the dizzy feeling making it hard to focus. ]

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. ]
swellter: (Ice: Attack)

Thank you! And yes! Soon!!!

[personal profile] swellter 2022-04-10 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ Used to battlefield commands, Todoroki instantly hits the ground the moment Megumi tells him to get down and feels the air warp above him as the bullet blasts through. On high alert, Kizu rumbles inside his chest (invisible) wanting to jump out but in a rare show of deference, stays put at his order. Without knowing what's going on, he holds back on adding another chaotic element into the mix.

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. ]

[ If by 'a lot' you mean, you took quite a tumble there, then yes. Yes, he did. Does he look a bit bedraggled, also yes. Fortunately for him, he's used to working through rough patches. He lets his head hang, giving himself a moment, before pushing up. Back on his feet, his arm still curls around his inflamed side which has nothing to do with his quirk. He doesn't need a few minutes. He needs answers. ]

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? ]

[ He follows where he points to the dead rhino, his expression changing minutely from neutral to slightly disturbed only to grow in horror when the voices of the dead rise in dissonance, shouting the crimes laid against them.

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. ]

swellter: (Hero: Face-Off)

No worries! thanks for the heads up!

[personal profile] swellter 2022-04-12 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ He grits his teeth, hand clutching his side as the avalanche comes tumbling down. He shouts Megumi's name, voice lost in the roar of distant thunder; ice cracking under its own pressure bringing down the wall. In its wake, the Trophy Hunter steps through. Cold, calculating. Without mercy.

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. ]

[ The fall from the canopy forced him to grab at the vines to regain his bearings. The friction caused by the coarse weeds left abrasions on his palms; of little concern when he was trying not to hit the ground and crack his skull. Afterward, the burning sensation was overlooked by the discovery of forbidden blood and the Trophy Hunter's appearance. A line of red runs across his palm and small beads of blood slowly make their way past the raw skin. A drop in the ocean of blood pollution in the area, and its effects are equally small and vague; it's influence slight but there.

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. ]

[ Up close and personal, the omen mitigates what Megumi just figured out. She ignores the call to retreat and lets her incisors crunch through bone until fingers no longer connected by threads of nerves lose their grip on the gun. She pounces on it, filling his mind with images of destruction but he can't use fire in a forest filled with trees ready to burn.

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. ]

[ A dark shadow rises from the ground and Todoroki is on high alert. What is that?! Then, he sees it. The resemblance to Megumi. His head snaps over to him, missing the moment of decapitation. The head goes spinning through the air, spraying blood that passes through the white coat of the snow leopard, still pristine. It hits a tree and rolls over to -

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. ]

[ Hands trembling on the greatcoat, he needs a minute to process the grotesque creeping down his spine. The severed head... it's the first time he's seen that kind of violence on display. Growing up in a relatively peaceful world, death isn't something he's ever encountered.

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. ]
swellter: (Hero: Bruises)

[personal profile] swellter 2022-04-25 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's not responsible for other people's feelings! Even Shouto, dense as he is, knows that much! ]

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.
