Mori's heart

All at once a rainbow of bright lights feels as if it is bursting through you. It is an intense experience, but not an unpleasant one. As the colours burn through your skin, and lighting begins to spark through your veins, you feel stronger, you could take on the world right now.

Faintly in the distance, beyond the iridescent light show that overwhelms your vision, you can just about make out some silhouettes, but they’re too blurred, too indistinct and too far to tell anything about them. You can’t see them, but you know they’re welcoming you. You’re wanted here, you’re needed here, and the light is guiding you where you’re meant to go.

[He yelps when he gets dragged off and thrown, but - well. The good thing about being able to fly right now is, as soon as he's airborne, he can slow himself down and recalibrate, and not hit Talon.]

[He twists around mid-air, until he's just hovering.]

Uh huh. Laugh it up, dude, cause you only got like five more seconds thinking it's funny.

Newsflash: you can't always have what you want.

[ Oh thank fuck. He'd been prepared to catch Hurricane if needed, but he's pretty sure his arm wouldn't handle that well after the blow he took. ]

[ He settles into a fighting crouch, tensed to dodge in whatever direction he needs and switching his knife to his good hand. ]

Target his joints. Crippling will be more successful than trying to take him down through force.
crossmyheartandhope: (So come out)

[Cool. Cool. It's probably actually better this big dude's not paying attention right now. It will give Hurricane a second to Henshin into his armor and then stick his hand into his chest to pull out his heart weapon.]

[It's still a set of blades similar to katars, but slightly longer - sharp and sci-fi sleek. They aren't quite the same as they used to be, though; the color seems odd, a muted matte grey. They look like someone printed a picture of a carbon steel weapon on newspaper, then ran it through the wash a few times. The blades are riddled with hairline fractures.]

[Target the joints, Talon said. Well, that he can do. And by target the joints, he sure is darting forward in the air, trying to ram a couple of blades through the back of this guy's knees while he's busy gloating.]

[ This is fine. (It is not fine.) But Talon is feeling a surge of confidence anyway now that there's support here, and especially seeing Hurricane using one of his unit abilities. That means there's an ace up Talon's sleeve if the situation gets dire enough, but for now... ]

[ He springs straight up several feet in the air, easily over the head of an average adult, tucking his legs tightly beneath him to try to leap over the swing of Muscular's punch. Or, rather, trying to land directly ON his arm, lashing out at Muscular's eyes with his good fist (with the blade carefully held away since he's not really looking to do permanent damage there). ]

Should've told you sooner: I'm already a hero!

Talon may dodge the punch, but the impact of it still crashes against the forest floor, leaving a huge crater and blasting down some of the nearby trees. It is very good that he dodged that, and before Muscular can react to stop him, the heart weapon strikes.

Despite how much force, and how much hatred Hurricane puts behind it, he can't slice through the protective muscles. Hurricane can't do physical damage to him, but somehow the villain feels the pain anyway and yelps, stumbling, which may make Talon's position on his arm unstable but he still manages to land a good clean blow. He may not be aiming for permanent damage, but it still hurts, and it knocks the prosthetic eye already there right out of Muscular. Gross.

Talon had better move fast though, because at this close range, it's going to be very hard to dodge Muscular grabbing for his throat.

[Crap. Why the hell isn't it cutting this guy??]

[That's - probably nothing good. Hurricane even thinks he knows why it's nothing good. He can - he can worry about that later he is definitely going to worry about that later, but for now at least it seems to be hurting him, and that's not nothing.]

[Since the blade isn't cutting, he changes the angle - comes in with the flat of the weapon instead, and slams it down hard on the elbow of the arm rushing toward Talon, trying to break the bone.]

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2019-02-18 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Here's hoping that works, because at this close range there's no way Talon can dodge that on his own. Certainly not that attack is coming from behind, and Talon is still focused on trying to take this guy down. ]

[ He's in the middle of trying to drive an elbow into Muscular's throat when the big guy grabs for him. In light of that, it's not very likely that Talon's attack was particularly effective whether or not Hurricane manages to break that arm. ]
crossmyheartandhope: (Is the violence in our nature)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-02-19 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, dude, kinda bad at waiting my turn.

[He throws himself backward to try and avoid the blow - hits the ground, briefly, touching down one-handed to flip to what would usually be his feet, but in this particular instance is back up into the air.]

[When he's hovering again, he slashes out with the blade, toward the tendons in the wrist that's holding Talon.]
iamverybadass: (ACTUAL CHILD ABUSE)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2019-02-19 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ Unfortunately Talon can't appreciate how awesome that move is seeing as he's a little preoccupied at the moment. Can't get a grip on the big guy's hand with one arm too injured to be of use, and the other busy keeping a death grip on his knife. He could try kicking again, but there's no way to get enough leverage for it to do any good. He can't even see Muscular's fist to target it clearly, but of all of his bad options that seems to be the best he can think of now. ]

[ He slashes blindly across Muscular's knuckles, probably cutting himself in the process, but it'll be worth it if it means he can get free. ]
crossmyheartandhope: (So come out)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-02-19 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, he's pretty hard to pin down even when his opponents can see; if the attempt to hit is clumsy, he skirts around that swipe handily.

[A second later, he's taking a swing with both blades at once - one at the wrist, aiming to break the bone, and the other at the temple, going for a concussion.]
iamverybadass: (I WILL HANG YOU BY YOUR ENTRAILS)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2019-02-19 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ Talon's only goal once he's dropped is to get clear of these stomping attempts and catch his breath. He scrambles out of immediate danger and crouches off to one side where he can watch Hurricane's attempt for a few seconds. Long enough for the biting panic that had flared up to begin to fade.

He sheathes the knife again and reaches for the 2nd of his grappling guns, waiting for a moment when Hurricane's out of the line of fire to shoot it at the nearest of Muscular's legs. He doesn't even wait to recall the line this time, hoping to get a two-for-one hit in when it retracts. ]
iamverybadass: (FIVE FINGER DEATH STRIKE)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2019-02-19 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh thank god. ]

Don't let him get back up!

[ Talon will do his best to help in that regard, darting in again and snatching up the line from his first gun, the one he hadn't had a chance to retract again. It would've made for a flimsy binding while Muscular was in one piece, but now he's hoping it'll be strong enough to tangle around the big guy's legs (as best he can with one good arm) and keep him from finding his footing again. ]
crossmyheartandhope: (If you are afraid come forth)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-02-19 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You got it, dude.

[Easier said than done, though. He has no rope, the blades won't cut, and plainly the joint breaks are a no go.]

[So, time to touch down and slam the hilt of this thing against his head, going for the knock-out blow.]
iamverybadass: (so then i cut his head off)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2019-02-19 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah that's a problem. Not to mention— ]

There is a child hiding nearby. I needed to take this behemoth down first. It would have been unwise to try to flee him with a civilian in tow.

[ He motions over his shoulder, in the direction he's pretty sure he last saw the kid hiding. ]

Do you know of anyone else who needs aid?
crossmyheartandhope: (Are we drowning?)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-02-19 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
There were a bunch of folks heading for the shelter. We're gonna have to book it if we wanna make sure all of em make it.

You wanna grab the kid? I can hit up evac duty.

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2019-02-19 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Nods and jerks a thumb down at Muscular. ]

Try to get someone to come collect this as well. He should face what he's done rather than being left to burn.
crossmyheartandhope: (So come out)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-02-19 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sure. I can let the cops know.

[He sketches a sloppy salute, then hops back up into the air and turns to go.]

Catch you later, dude.
iamverybadass: (hmmm)

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2019-02-19 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, later.

[ He offers a salute right back and stoops to grab the grappling gun that isn't being used as makeshift bindings now, turning to head back for the crying child now. ]
crossmyheartandhope: (If you are afraid come out)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-02-19 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Darting off back through the air, toward where the cops and the people fleeing had been.]
