While Smokey and Mikado kept on running, the still small black dragon jumped from its owner's head and landed slightly laterally in front of the two running team members on the ground, increasing its mass and size by a multiple. The now fully grown dragon let out a loud roar as he opened his mouth to unleash a light blue beam of ice just a few feet infront from Smokey and Mikado. The ice built up in seconds, creating an icewall. The plan was to block the shots, but the time was just too short to creat a wall high enough to catch all the bullets. Instead, they were hidden behind the pile of ice that had just enough the time to develop, which meant that a few of the shots missed their target.

As the hype train continued to run forward, getting closer and closer to the icewall, or rather the Ice mound, Kiro stayed behind and sighted Prism, before firing another ice beam, which flew like a rocket towards the Hummingbird Faunus.

Back by Mikado, he felt a cold breeze on his shoulder and shortly after the impact of the aura crescent came down, however, he didn't let himself get distracted by that, and instead gave his teammate a brief glance. It was time.


Log:

Ice breath: 8% + Possibility of a limb being frozen in an ice block

Aura: 55%
Kiro's Health: 30%
Kiro's Dustbreath (Ice) : 91%
Shotgun: 14/14

Smokey watched Serin sail toward the mystery girl that he had totally never seen before in his life.  He also watched another combatant literally step up to the plate and take a nasty swing at him.  "Ooooh, that's gotta sting," Smokey muttered after a sharp intake of breath.  Still, with their distraction...distracted, the gauntlet runners were about to run through literal hell.  Good thing they had a contigency plan. 

Seeing what was about to happen before it did, Smokey looked at Mikado and nodded, signalling to enact their contingency plan.  As Kiro grew to full size, Smokey watched as Amane pulled out another weapon and pointed it down range, Prism shifted her weapon to a different form and...where'd other chick go?  Huh.  Anyways, Kiro only just gets started blasting away and making a wall when the enemy team let's loose.  Fortunately, the ice breath itself managed to obscure the duo, and the shots don't quite hit their marks as hard as they'd probably like. 

As the shots died down, the dragon stops breathing, and in it's place is a wall, and Smokey and Mikado are running straight for it.  You see, Smokey wasn't kidding when he said he wasn't stopping for beans.  Instead, an ash-gray aura rises from Smokey like the smoke from a steam engine, and Smokey points his revolver at the wall and fires. The next instant, Smokey shoulder charges the wall and crashes through the wall, shouting, "OHHHH YEAHHH!" 

With the Blossom Hype Train through the wall, Smokey's next step is to throw Mikado just as he did Serin before.  This time, though, Coco should be distracted enough that he shouldn't get a nasty hit in. 

With both his hands free, Smokey continues running towards the CASA duo.  He's almost in range to fire.

Smokey's Combat Log:
Aura: 67.5% (Half damage from Amane's onslaught, avoiding the brunt of the ice dust attack, but taking the full brunt of the follow up attack (21.5% damage total))
Semblance: ACTIVATED! 20 SECONDS REMAINING AT START OF NEXT TURN!
Matchstick: 6/7
Dust:  14/14 Fire, 14/14 Ice

Action:  Kool-aid man-ing his way through an ice wall, chucking Mikado

Spoiler: ShowHide
I took a creative liberty with the ice mound/wall because I just wanted to write Smokey crashing through it.  It's nothing more than flavor and fun.  I'll edit it if it causes a conundrum.

"Amane and Coco, time to kite! Jocelyn, no more than 10% healing on Amane, prioritize longetivity and speedboost both!" Prism yells, firing a shot through the end of her glaive in order to dodge the bright-white beam of ice her way, and then another immediate one to avoid Billy's lightning-dust tipped bullet. Smokey threw another one of his teammates at her team, there's a fucking dragon shooting icebeams at her,  and a cowboy trying to shoot her out of the sky.

This is incredibly stupid, and she really needs to do something before the earthbound members of her team get ganged up on.

Flying overhead of the hype train, Prism spends the final bullet from her clip propelling herself forwards, getting a better angle overhead of the hype train. She then goes to pull a bright-yellow bullet clip from her belt, loading it into her rifle and focusing onto what remained of BSSM charging her team.

Prism fires off two shots then - one electrified bullet streaking through the air to hopefully make contact with the massive dragon shooting laserbeams at her. Thankfully targets that big are hard to miss. The second shot is aimed towards team BSSM's immobile gunslinger, attempting to dissuade the midget hoisting around a giant canon from getting anywhere near the remains of her team. Still thankfully not to hard of a target to miss.

...as an afterthought, a breeze has gone to pick up the cowboy hat flung to the far side of the arena, sending it dancing up into the air.

Attack Log:
Lightning-Dust Bodyshot - Kiro (7% + 3% electrical damage, cramping pains for one post)
Lightning Dust Bodyshot - Smokey (7% + 3% electrical damage, cramping pains for one post)

Lightning-Dust Bullets: 2/5

Well, that was satisfying. A good way for Coconut to start the figt on his part. But alas, there was little he could do to prevent himself from taking damage afterwards - all these copies, he simply couldn't follow along with which one was real, especially not after being blinded by the bolt. But maybe he didn't have to.

Rather than trying to dodge or block an attack he couldn't predict, Coconut instead prepared his own. Gritting his teeth as Serin's blades struck his back, he went for a swing much wider than before. In fact, he spun his entire form around like a disc thrower of sorts, sending O.T.N. towards every instance of Serin around him, hopefully including the real one.

As a bullet ricocheted off the cover she was ducking behind, Jocelyn looked through the thermal scope once again to discern the current situation. Amane's Aura was lower than the rest of the team but in compliance with Prism's orders she held off on the healing.

What she saw through the scope did not nearly cover what was going on in the actual fight, however. There was a big-ass dragon all of a sudden, there were 3 Serins when she was sure she only saw one, and a broken ice wall with people barreling through it. What the bloody fuck is going on? With so many targets including two fake ones she didn't really know who to prioritise. Eventually she gave up and fired once at each member of the opposing team, though the rapid movement made her shots pretty hasty and less accurate than they could have been.

As soon as Smokey crashed through the wall, his triumphant shout was rudely interrupted by two explosions.  Someone's gonna pay for that. Fortunately, Mikado is still firmly within Smokey's grip at this point, so any knockback is firmly negated.  The improvised delivery system continues as planned, uninterrupted. 

However, as Smokey loads the ice dust cartridge into his gun with his now free hand, he overhears something far more distressing: "Amane and Coco, time to kite! Jocelyn, no more than 10% healing on Amane, prioritize longetivity and speedboost both!"

Were they going to try and run away after he had come all this way just for them?  Did they seriously think that would sit well with Smokey?  Because if they did, Smokey would like to introduce to them 6 more barrels that would politely disagree.

Which is why when Prism aims her gun at Smokey, she'll be staring straight down the barrel of the gun that nearly concussed her a few weeks earlier.  Smokey goes for the classic simultaneous shot, aiming to freeze Prism with his newly loaded ice dust and turn her into a sitting duck. 

What ultimately happens, though, and probably much more to Smokey's benefit, is that Prism's dust charged bullet collides into the spread of ice dust-filled shot, causing the dust to discharge and the bullet to lose a lot of momentum.  The spread, in kind, loses a bit of oomph, but still carries through, and still filled with a nasty bit of ice.  If it hits, Prism won't be frozen, but she'll be a bit frosty and a little bit slower.  Considering she made the effort to toss BSSM's sniper's hat into the air, Prism may want to avoid that outcome.

Oh yeah, Prism's dust crystal explosion and Jocelyn's shot also hurts, but Smokey's a big boy, he can take it.  He's currently much more focused on boy doing his best impression of a whirly-gig.  What was his name again?

"HEY CREAMPUFF!  WHY DON'T YOU TRY FIGHTING SOMEONE WITH A LITTLE MORE MEAT ON THEIR BONES!" comes a very ominous shout, which would also inadvertently serve as Serin's cue to retreat from down range.  Shortly afterwards, like the thunder after lighting, another blast fires from Matchstick, aimed at the swordsman's legs.

Smokey's Combat Log:
Aura: 47.5% (Amane's throwing stars (6%), Prism's shot at Smokey (3%, heavily reduced by simultaneous shot, no paralysis), Lightning dust explosion (5%), Jocelyn's shot (6%) (20% total))
Semblance: ACTIVATED! 15 SECONDS REMAINING AT START OF NEXT TURN!
Matchstick: 4/7
Dust:  14/14 Fire, 11/14 Ice

Actions:  1 Matchstick round at Prism (minorly reduced damage 11% + 1.5% ice (further reduced based on distance) and slowed)
1 Matchstick round at Coconut (15% +3% ice) + frozen to ground

Cocos swing wasn't entirely a surprise to Serin as it was a very logical move when he didn't know who to attack, this did mean Serin was able to jump back while his other two puppets were disintegrated by the attack massively reducing the amount of damage the attack Serin took to 2%. But without the protection and confusion his puppets created he found himself a easy target for Jocelyn whos shot should its target right on his shoulder.

"Not too bad of a idea now-" Serin was cut off by his boisterous teammate further down the arena prompting him to decided on retreated towards the rest of BSSM.

"Its been good" He said instead of finishing his previous sentence notching an arrow into his right arm and firing it at Coco before splitting off into two more puppets and scattering, the real Serin heading back into the wind dust by BSSM while having one mimic his movements heading straight towards BSSM and the third straight back from Coco.

Not even a second passed when Kiro sent a second ice beam after the first one. Prism's oncoming shot was streaked by the beam and covered in a thin layer of ice, which didn't slow or stop the shot. While the ice beam continued to fly towards Prism, Kiro got hit by the shot in the flank, though, thanks to the ice, the paralysis was ineffective, the damage remained however.

Without paying much attention to the damage, the dragon flapped its wings and let himself be carried back a few yards, still keeping an eye on Prism and also firing a second ice blast.

Meanwhile, Smokey and Mikado had bashed through the wall and were already greeted by two explosions. Thanks to Smokey, the knockback was prevented and he was, just as planned, thrown forward towards Amane. For a short time he was completely in the air, but quickly regained the ground under his feet, as he jumped forward for more momentum, dodging Jocelyn's shot in the process.

As Mikado was barely two meters away from Amane, he swung his bo in a diagonal line from the bottom up, aiming from Amane's left leg to her right shoulder.

Billy felt two bullets hit her, but no hat touch her head. She saw her hat blowing in the breeze around the arena. Still running on anger, she was quick to judge the situation. She knew it was out of her reach, but she needed it. So she decided to do the next best thing to lassoing her hat, lassoing the person who could get it for her. Billy sent out her lasso to catch Prism around the waist and pull her to the ground. "Prism I swear if you don't get me back my hat, I will turn you into some homestyle chicken!"

Prism just barely manages to avoid Smokey's retaliation, boosting the terrifying shotgun blast of ice in time to give her heels a frostlike sheen. The rest of Blossom isn't giving her any respite either, as she immediately needs to tuck in her wings and dive to avoid the second icy blast for Kiro - juuust in time for Billy's lasso to loop her around the ankle.

Okay, this is getting annoying. "Coco, don't let yourself get frozen! It's time to move! Jocelyn, let us know which one of those clones is the real one! Amane - kite!" Prism's orders are quickly barked out, scanning the arena for options as she valiantly fights against the lasso around her ankle. She can't stay in the air like this or she's going to get frozen, half her team's on the move but she's got no way to get to them now, and Billy's definitely to heavy for her to lift, so-

Billy.

A conniving smirk crosses Prism's face as she reaches for her belt, transforming her rifle into it's secondary mode. Loading a dust cartridge into the back of the blade, before turning to face the opponent attempting to pull her down to earth, firing off with a snap of her wings as she dives directly for her, the edge of her glaive shimmering a bright white. Slashing it through the air while she dives, Prism's initial strike is only outraced by two white cresecents flying through the air, aimed directly for Billy - following by Prism herself, bringing the blade of her glaive down against her opponent in an overhead slash.

At least this way, nobody can risk shooting her without hitting Billy.

...*Creampuff*?

Coconut had enough time to bring OTN forward and block the arrow - the shots at his legs were another story. While the boy narrowly avoided one shot, the other struck his legs, freezing them to the ground. All he could do was chop at them right away, but even that meant wasting precious time.

Well, he knew Prism wouldn't want him charging down Smokey himself. As such, once the ice was gone he hurriedly ran towards Mikado and Amane in order to help his teammate - though he couldn't reach them just yet.

Oh, right. Serin might be able to do kage bunshin no jutsu, but it wasn't like those clones emitted heat, unlike the real Serin with blood and sweat. "It's the one hiding behind his other two!" she screamed to try and get her voice over the noise of battle and somehow conversations that were being held mid-fight. Either way, she'd had enough of seeing her teammates get hurt.

Her teammates had done an amazing job of keeping the opposing side off her, in addition to the fact that team BSSM had seemed to forget a key part of strategy: never leave the support alone. Releasing the now empty magazine and swiftly engaging a new clip, Jocelyn fired two healing bullets at Amane and Coco, though she hesitated at Prism. The manoeuvre the team's leader was currently pulling could lead to her shot missing and healing Billy instead.

Satisfied that he'd stalled Coco, Smokey finally puts the brakes on the hype train.  Instead of charging towards Coco and finishing him off, he instead heads into cover behind a dust crystal and starts reloading.  He wants Coco and Amane to clump together, so he lets Coco free himself from the ice in peace.  Instead he looks at the scoreboard and sees the most peculiar thing.  Jocelyn's aura just decreases for no reason, while Amane's and Coco's meters rise.  Wait, could that be--?

"That has got to be the most useless ability I've ever--"

*BANG!*

Smokey is interrupted from his thoughts by the cacophony of the flashbang detonation.  It's loud, sure, his ears are ringing and most certainly temporarily deafened, but considering how loud his guns are this is far from debilitating.  Looking back toward the source, he sees Amane emerge from the smoke cloud just in time to see the barrel pointed back at him.  He ducks back behind the crystal as a few shots clatter in to it before it explodes.  Now, hiding behind a volatile dust crystal might seem kind of stupid, considering it releases its payload when it explodes.  But Smokey can handle it, and the added cover from the dust (the regular kind) and smoke it kicks up as a result makes the trade more than worth it.  Smokey uses the brief cover to dash out in a fashion that forces Amane to twist her body even further to actually get an accurate shot.  Between the awkward shooting position, the cover provided from the crystal, and the obscuring smoke that came as a result of its explosion, Smokey actually manages to avoid pretty much every bullet.  That deserves a pat on the back.

Taking cover behind another crystal, Smokey finishes reloading the 4 expended shells and switches out the ice dust for fire.  His current position is relatively close to the smoke cloud, and he's dimly aware Coco is inside.  But quite frankly, if that guy wants to attack him, he'll be just in time for the group shot.  Now if only he get Amane to stop running long enough to strike a pose...

Ending this round, Smokey flips the switch that transforms Matchstick into its 7-round Volley form.  Between the base fire power, the dust in the ammo, and the lightning dust scattered around...let's just say the flash will be pretty bright.

Smokey's Combat Log:
Aura: 42.5% (5% Lightning Dust Crystal Explosion)
Semblance: ACTIVATED! 10 SECONDS REMAINING AT START OF NEXT TURN!
Matchstick: 7/7 (Reloaded)
Dust:  14/14 Fire*, 11/14 Ice

Actions: No attacks, reloading and exchanging dust cartridges, switching Matchstick to volley gun form.

Spoiler: ShowHide
Note: Smokey really was going to reload this turn, even before the flashbang.  Between that and the unusual aura meter fluctuations on the scoreboard, I think Smokey has ample reason to avoid the blind
