Holy shit! I internally gawk as S stares over his shoulder through the smog of ice dusting the air to Kirotoshi. Goddamn that was close. But holy shit! Icysharp must be damn serious if he knows how to make a machine gun. Where the hell did he learn that from? Parents in the police force? Even then!

With the raise of his hand, S forms a thick barrier of ice between himself and Kirotoshi while Deku and I both lunge for S. The two of us have worked in tandem in a team before, and although I hate to admit it, the two of us make an excellent team. Deku, unlike most of the shit-for-brains yahoos among us, is intelligent and analytical. On top of that, we've known each other since we were young.

"One For All...Shoot Style!" Deku shouts as I launch myself into the air again. He ejects a large blast of transparent energy at S, pivoting around a skewer of ice shooting up from the ground. The wave of energy nearly shatters the protective wall of ice S summons to nullify the attack.

Contorting my body into a twisting series of spirals as I drag with me a rapidly growing vortex of explosions, I hurl myself down towards the ground using Howitzer Impact. I anticipate a blockade of ice or numerous spears of ice to charge forth at me, so I generate a barrage of small explosions to obfuscate my exact location.

Suck on this! You piece of shit—you think you can waltz into my life and bust down the doors without reprisal? Better think again!

What I don't anticipate, however, is the fact that my target has managed to wrap his hands around Deku and encapsulate the lower half of his body in a rigid cell of ice. S, who looks as if he's primed to snap Deku's neck as he forms a bleak shield of ice above his head, is simultaneously attempting to restrain the nerd and send forth spiked walls of ice at Kirotoshi, who's advancing on him. He manages to connect a belligerent blade of ice with Kirotoshi, but I'm unable to determine where the newcomer was struck.

SHIT!

Having gained a great amount of momentum from my explosions coupled with gravity itself, I'm rendered as incapable of so swiftly negating and overpowering the sheer rate that I'm accelerating at. Despite this, while I'm rapidly charging towards Deku and S like a bullet streaking through the sky, I slightly adjust the angle of my explosions mere moments before the dénouement radiating in a blinding burst of tangerine and lemon.

BOOM!

CRASH!

CRACK!

Prancing waves of fire and billowing smoke mingle with blue fractals of ice slathered in a pale gray from the absence of light.

My eyes begin to detect figures and objects nonexistent from my abundant source of light being abruptly cut away. I scour my hazy surroundings obscured by smoke until I catch a speck of movement drifting across my peripheral vision. Craning my neck to better inspect the figure through the droning silence that's gradually wading towards the vigorous pool of sound known as reality, I notice a disheveled mix of black and dark gray hair split in half. A zircon eye locks with mine.

Hey...why won't my body move? What kinda sick joke—

Like the very molecules composing my being are being frozen together, my movements become agonizingly slow and restricted. In fact, time feels as if its loose threads are taut.

Glaring down at me through the dissipating smoke is S, whose lips are moving, and yet I can detect no sound.

It's like my body is shutting down, but my consciousness is about the only clear thing. What the hell's going on? I ponder, endeavoring to read S's lips. 'You will be coming with me...' Oh. Hell. No.
