" Kokushibou-dono! Kokushibou-dono!"

The wolfdog looked up towards the window, seeing a colourful bird flapping his wings outside. The former Uppermoon 2 sometimes dropped by Kokushibou's place to 'hang out' with him, mostly him talking. Kokushibou would have ignored the bird chirping outside if it wasn't for Akaza scratching the window to gain his attention as well.

" Hey! Kokushibou! We got a problem!" The black cat hissed.

Kokushibou went to the front door and opened the lock ( it wasn't easy for him being a dog, but with enough training when Uka wasn't around, he managed ). He staggered backward when both Douma and Akaza went straight to him, visibly in distress.

" We gotta go! "

" Slow down...what's going on?"

" You're not going to believe this!" Douma cried out. " Akaza and I -- we saw -- saw -- "

" You saw what?"

Uppermoon 2 and 3 claimed in unison.

" A slayer!"

Both Izuku and Nezuko yelped as Gentle grabbed La Brava and speed out of their grasps, causing them to fall to the ground. Izuku, who had been injured from the previous attacks, laid on the ground, groaning in pain. Nezuko immediately went back to her feet and shielded him from the criminals.

Something happened to Gentle -- it was as if he was given more strength than before and pinkish glowing aura swirling around him. Squinting her eyes, Nezuko dashed towards them.

" Gentle! " La Brava yelled as Gentle threw her away, out of the danger.

The man shielded his face with one arm as a kick was sent to him. Nezuko drew back a fist and threw a punch. Gentle moved his head, dodging it. Both were fast, already zipping through here and there as Nezuko kept sending attacks towards him.

Gentle raised his arms, " Gently Sandwich! " creating a series of aerial elastic barriers, he aimed it towards Nezuko.

" No! Stop it! " Izuku shouted, already on his feet and pushed Nezuko out if the way as he took the hit.

Gentle's quirk forced the boy to slam down to the ground. " The thinner the sandwich, the classier it is, inherently...so I am loath to stack them like this. " The man looked more sad rather than angry. " And yet..I must see this through, the fleeting dream of a man past his youth..."

La Brava bit her lips as she watched, sobbing already. " Gentle..."

" To carve my name in history, for future generations! So that going forward, someone out there...will give a moment's thought to the way I lived and be inspired! " He strengthened the force on Izuku. " And this dream is no longer mine alone! Today marks my first step towards true infamy! My dream would be trifling indeed to your words could move me to abandon my course!

As you are a U.A. student... I assume you comprehend my penchant for dreaming -- "

La Brava screamed in shock when Nezuko bursted out and did a full round-house kick on her partner. There was a really loud crack that mixed with the man's yelling as he was thrown to the side, his quirk cancelled and Izuku was free to move.

" No, no! Gentle! " The red-haired woman scrambled towards him. Gentle placed one hand one the place where his collarbone was, gritting his teeth.
