Coy huffed as she ran alongside Aizawa, Amarok sticking a few feet in front of her. They've had continuous interruptions during their mission to save Eri, and it was really starting to piss Coy off, ━━and anything that frustrates Coy, frustrates Amarok. And the myth was indeed angry, growling the entire time they ran, it caused multiple glances from the heroes and police, minus Aizawa and her classmates, ━━she assumes they weren't sure if the beast would turn on them or not, and Coy thought that was amusing.

"Amajiki..." Krishima mumbled from beside Midoriya, "I wonder if he's all right... I can't help but worry." The greenette beside him agreed.

"━But!" Coy flinched, glancing up at Fat Gum as he shouted back at them, "once you've left him to guard your back, you'll trust him to do it if you're a man!"

"━I'm sure he'll be fine!"

Well he switched up quickly.

"I'm worried, but all I can do is trust him!"

"We can't waste a second of time Suneater got for us!"

"All right!"

Can we stop yelling? Please?

"This is strange." Aizawa interrupted, Coy glancing up at him from the corner of her eye, "it's weird that the guy who was moving the basement hasn't shown any movement..."

"Now that you mention it, nothings twisting or turning." Midoriya noted.

"If he isn't putting any obstacles in our way while we're running... There's the police squad that remained above, too. Maybe he's focusing his attention of them."

"Are you saying that he's limited in the area he can keep tabs on?" Rock Lock questioned.

"It's just a prediction. He went into the basement to control it. If it's not that he has been assimilated into it, but that he's moving around inside the walls to see and hear what's going on, that when he's manipulating the basement, it's possible that his body is also close. If an eye or an ear from his main body is peeking through to try and block us, then I can see him."

Coy ran alongside Aizawa, focusing ahead of her, watching Amarok for any movement that he might've sensed something. And as his ear twitched, the girl's head snapped to the side, too late to react as she and Aizawa were pushed by a pillar coming from the wall, and Coy assumed Irinaka was aiming to crush them, or more so, Aizawa. She heard the call of their names, before a weight pushed at the two, and her eyes just barely caught sight of Amarok getting pushed into the large hole in the wall she had failed to notice, accompanied by Fat Gum and Kirishima. Her heart dropped and she scrambled to her feet, eyes wide as she stared at the pillar that took Amarok. ━━━No. No. It's fine. It's Amarok. He's a myth that's known to kill, he's been through worse, he'll be fine.━━━

Be careful, Amarok.

------------

The large wolf growled as he paced, whining as the large hole in the wall closed up. Fat Gum and Kirishima glanced at the beast as it seemed to grow in size, ━maybe it was because he was angry, who knows. But Kirishima didn't seem too wary of it as Fat Gum was. He trusted Coy, so he'll trust whatever creature she brings with her.

"I'm thinking he, uh, Amarok, must've thought the same way as us, he wanted to protect Coy." ━Kirishima was honestly surprised he remembered the myth's name, thank you Jiro for translations.━

"I guess it can't be helped." Fat Gum glanced around the room, and Amarok suddenly stopped pacing as his whines turned to growls, facing the direction in front of them, his size much bigger compared to before. He bared his teeth, and this had the two males taking a fighting stance, "brace yourself."

A man came running out of the darkness, fist ready to collide with the two heroes. Kirishima's skin hardened, and as the fist collided with his arms, he was sent back. Fortunately, however, his back hit something soft, instead of the hard wall, Kirishima now laying into the soft fur of Amarok's side. ━━━He was larger, much larger, than the size of which he usually is when Coy summons him.━━━━ Kirishima panted, and his breath picked up as his hard skin fell from his body. ━━And Amarok knew what was happening, it was the same occurrence whenever Coy had a moment of feeling useless, when she had felt she lost at the first hit.━━

"M...My arms..." The red head grunted as his breaths grew short and fast, his eyes wide and face torn. Amarok stared at the boy, and his snout raised in a snarl, growling at the man who had hurt him. ━━He wondered if Coy would be proud, proud he was protecting the girl's friend. And maybe he liked the boy, he wasn't rude to the girl, and heeded warnings received from Momo or Kyouka whenever they warned he was being too loud around the girl who was fragile to noise, and maybe he reminded Amarok of the girl in some way, someone who viewed themself weak.━━

And it was because of that, he wasn't going to let harming Kirishima slide.

"Fat Gum, and a boy who can harden his body, accompanied by a giant wolf." Amarok growled, shifting in front of the boy protectively, head lowering as a blond man approached, wearing a beak mask and yukata, ━━these villains were his next targets.━━ "Hm. They both have Quirks that are good at defense. Too bad, Rappa."

Rappa swung at Fat Gum, who had decided to take the hits head on, grunting at the fast pace of the punches. "Good at defense? They didn't get away unscathed. Well, I guess it's good enough that they didn't turn into mincemeat." Amarok slowly approached, his fur rustling as he growled.

"The beast is challenging you, Rappa." The blond man informed Rappa as Amarok stopped in front of Fat Gum, who stared up at the beast in shock. ━He was protecting them?━

"Huh? Wait, what kind of fight is that?" Amarok glanced back at Fat Gum, piercing eyes of yellow glaring down at the man, and his snout gestured to Kirishima. Help him. Is what Amarok hoped came across as he looked back at Rappa and the unnamed man in a yukata.

He won't kill, but he'll come close.
