Zwei grinned a little as the hat fell onto his head, adjusting it to sit better atop him as he watched Mithra interrogate the thug for a moment before shuffling closer to Kei and leaning in to whisper to her. "Hey uh, this whole investigation thing is great but won't the police show up soon? I don't think letting her kill the man will make them very empathetic towards our situation. Maybe we could ask them for help?" Zwei, of course did not know what was within the briefcase or how bad of an idea asking the police to help was.

Content that he had helped, he moved away from Kei a little but not straying too far as being nearby made him feel secure.

"Oh, the boss? You don't wanna know the boss, he's reeeeeeally scary. Scarier than you even!" The suit said, smiling wryly as he felt around for his hat, finding it missing he searched his other pockets to find out that his silver pocket watch was also missing. "Hey! You brats better give me back my watch and hat or else...OR ELSE I'LL GET REAL AND POUND YA ALL TO THE GROUND!"

Kei couldn't help but let out a snicker while she held up the watch, letting it dangle around like a pendulum as she impishly grinned at the man. "Why don't you just tell us who you're working for and all should be fine and Dandy mr...uhmm..

"Slate, you damned punk. Name's Slate. Now, as to why we need the briefcase let's just say there's a deal that needs to be done or else all hell's gonna come loose."

"Illegal deals are bad, ya know? Now, I guess I might as well ask one of these other punks since they're scared out of their wits of my friend here.

"Oh, they're not scared of this oaf right here...The boss wouldn't just let any punk take care of such a delicate task.'

That's when Kei saw it, the man somehow managed to keep his brass knuckle silverballer while being dragged up and hid it in his coat. Now he brought the somewhat tiny gun out and smiled with utmost confidence, a complete turnaround from his earlier cowardly demeanor. The whole thing was a feint, a ruse. But for what? Scurrying away, some of the other white suited men dragged their friends away as Slate held the gun by the barrel and locked his knuckles into place, aiming for a gut punch at Mithra.

"They're scared of me!"

Gripping the knuckles in his hand his body rippled with a gray aura before all of it concentrated into his fist, releasing all the pent up energy in one fell swoop as he connected a punch with Mithra's stomach, her iron grip loosening up as he dropped 3 stories down and crashed into the pavement with a loud 'thud.'

Kei stood over the man who seemed to be dazed from the fall and looked over him curiously, poking him with a nearby stick to check if he was still moving.

"Well that was anti-climacti-GaH!

Flying into a nearby wall, Kei groaned as the force of the impact knocked the wind out of her while Slate picked himself up and brushed the dirt off his suit after punching the girl. Extending a hand towards Zwei he motioned to the hat and aimed his gun at the masked boy with the most unamused look on his face. Aura rippled through his body once more and focused itself in his gun, accompanying the shot that aimed straight for Zwei's face a moment later.

[Kellenredx]

In the panic of the man's odd speech and rapid departure from Mithra's hands onto the ground below, Zwei had already drawn the small knife he had looted in anticipation of what was to come. He readied himself as he heard Kei's sentence get cut off by a swift hit. When the gun was leveled at him, despite the blade he clenched in his hand, he was happy to comply and hand over the hat, his keen eye managing to catch the flow of aura through the man's body, leading to the gun that was leveled at him.

Although his training at Beacon was not extensive enough to dodge bullets, he certainly knew when he was being shot at and when to rely on his aura. The boy broke into a sprint straight towards Slade while throwing the hat forward as the bullet fired, tearing a hole through the fabric before being stopped by the student's glowing aura flaring up.

The distance closing between them, Zwei seemed to duck low in an attempt to evade any further attacks as he attempted to stab the knife between the man's legs. "See where we end up when we're impatient? I'd have happily given ya the fuckin' hat ya ass."

[Xarias Fury]

"I could see that move a mile away, kid." Slate said, stepping aside to trip Zwei while shooting at his  back afterwards. "You also ruined my favorite hat, you're gonna pay for that."

Picking up his hat, he inspected the hole and looked through it, inspecting the size while moving it around. As he moved it towards where Kei was she was already nowhere to be seen. "Where'd she gooooOW"

Flinging her yo-yo from the side Kei smashed the weapon into Slate's face, his hat crumpling as he got flung to the wall by the force of the yo-yo. Holding the briefcase in one hand and her yo-yo in the other Kei grinned as she spun the toy around on the ground, repeatedly making it roll forward then zipping it back up again.

"And here I thought this was gonna be a walk in the park..

[Seig]

It took Mithra a moment to register what had happened. "Did he...hit me back?" In a moment she felt all the anger in her body wash away, replaced by something potentially even more frightening. Excitement. As Mithra got to her feet she couldn't help but grin as adrenaline pumped through her body yet again Using her word is a grip she leaped down to the alleyway below. With a resounding crash her blade pierced the ground below, Mithra hitting the Earth a moment later. With a wave of her massive blade she lout out a challenge. "SLATE!"Looking at the man she pointed her massive blade at his heart. Her tone was filled with a strange sense of admiration as she addressed her enemy. "It has been far far to long since I have found someone who can take my blows. So I have something special for you big man."

With a simple motion she threw her sword aside, embedding it into a wall. Her knuckles cracked as she slowly walked towards her target. She let her aura flare with every step. "It's been so long since I've gotten to fight someone. They either run away and use guns, are out of my league, or just can't take me at full strength. But it seems like you can." It was clear from her tone of voice how overjoyed she was, almost creepily so. "Come on Slate! If you can take my punches like that! I'll just have to beat you down even harder!" THe giantess broke into a full sprint straight at Slate with a wide grin on her face. A few feet before she met him her aura arms erupted from her shoulder blades, made of her flamelike aura. "Give me a fight I'll remember!" She spun right with both of her left arms aimed at his torso.

Alexandra, who had been crouching on the rooftop watching the other three students dealing with the man named "Slate," continued to watch.  While she previously had her rifle drawn and at the ready so as to intervene if necessary, with Mithra aggressively charging the man, it didn't seem like Alex would need to intervene.  In truth, she believed they had spent too much time dealing with this person already.  Having already caused so much of a commotion fighting the rest of the thugs, the last thing they needed was to get bogged down stuck on this man.  Nonetheless, she didn't think she could do much beyond indulge Mithra and her raging attack.

[Kellenredx]

The difference between Zwei and Slate's skill were made apparent in one fluid motion from the man, Zwei found himself staring at the ground before feeling a piercing pain in his back. He tried to raise his hands to catch himself but the pain stopped him from being able to cushion his fall, Zwei landed mask-first onto the ground. He muttered a 'thank-you' to his own aura that was quickly drowned out by Mithra's shouting. He found himself quite astonished at this girls claims, just how damn strong could this girl be if this was her first good fight in a long time.

While being trampled by a giant and a gangster weren't high on Zwei's to-do list, and although he now had the perfect chance to simply get up and run; Zwei simply continued to lay there as Slate was hopefully distracted by the giant's shouting, silently preparing his semblance in anticipation. As Mithra began her charge, he clutched the small knife in his hand as he righted himself, getting into a crouching position as he stabbed at Slate's right ankle and fired off his semblance, aimed to give the gangster's head a decent yank downwards and back to prevent him from fighting back easily.

Some part of him worried that he would be facing Mithra's wrath next for interfering, but this wasn't the time to worry about such things.

[Xarias Fury]

"Oooh, she's mad. You wouldn't like her when she's mad. Kei scoffed, backing away slowly as Mithra begun her charge. Pocketing her yo-yo Kei sat an unconscious thug and crossed her legs as she watched the scene unfold.

Slate carried himself with way more confidence than he did before as he quickly lazed his posture as Mithra roared towards him. Unfortunately he didn't expect Zwei's sudden counterattack and  squirmed as the knife struck his boot and the yank on his head threw him off balance as well as breaking any preparation he made to fight back against the giantess.

Two massive arms slammed into his torso sending Slate flying back trough the Alley past Alex and Kei who seemed to be watching the show and over Zwei who got a cheap shot at his foot. Landing against a couple of trashcans Slate crashed with a loud clanging of metal lids and squishy leftovers thrown away the night before.

"-ugh..Oh-oh damn that smells!" He shouted, a stray diaper landing promptly beside him. Looking over his attacker he soon regretted fighting back and should've just ran away with the briefcase in hand. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. His aura flickered as it seemed to ripple from all over his body till it traveled towards his feet, dashing him forward like a human bullet past Kei and Alex as he launched a kick directly towards Mithra's face.

"You damned kids and your itchy trigger fingers!"

[Seig]

Mithra gave a quick nod of thanks at Zwei before returning to her target. As he golden hair flowed behind her she couldn't help but grin. She has always been called names as long as she has been a huntress in training. The big dumb giant. The idiot with the big sword. Mithra the dumbass. True she wasn't very good at science, and she couldn't solve a complex equation to save her life. But out here in the battlefield is where she shined. Her she was smart.
"You idiot! You lead yourself wide open!" Using all four of her arms she caught his kick head on, the diamond pattern spreading the massive impact into four directions. With a roar she grabbed his leg with her two right arms and spun hard, All of her strength put into smashing Slate into the brick wall. "Even if you are tough there's only so much damage you can take before you fall!"All of her excess momentum was transferred to her two outstretched fists on her left side. As soon as Slate would slam into the wal, one would rocket into his gut while the other would crush his head.

[Kellenredx]

Boots, right. Boots tend to block knives. Zwei berated himself mentally for just somehow expecting to pierce through them as if they were made of paper instead of attacking somewhere more vulnerable. No matter, the man had already sailed over him after Mithra's strike. Without much time to do anything, the two had already flung themselves at each-other again. Yeah, Zwei certainly did not want to be in the middle of this anymore, while he did still have some aura left, a good hit from either of them would probably end in a trip to the ER for him.

Scrambling onto his feet he created some distance between the two's clash, keeping an eye open for anyone looking to sneak up on them.

[Xarias Fury]

Slate struggled against the barrage of blows managing to bring his arms up every so often to block but each attack felt like getting pummeled with a sledge hammer. Every so often Slate's aura would shimmer and disperse as a punch connected but it didnt happen too often, almost as if he needed to prepare or know a blow was going to happen beforehand. After a few seconds of pummeling Slate's aura shimmered afain and rippled towards his fist, a large ball of gray glow shining as he focused a massive straight at Mithra's face while shouting, the power blowing the girl away from the battered thug who proceeded to brush himself off as he unstuck himself from the wall.

"Try all you want but I'll hit back with enough strength to  break every single bone in your frail punk bodies." Slate declared his breath ragged but his posture slowly coming back to normal. Squeezung his fists he taunted Mithra with an obscene gesture as if asking to be hit with all she got.

Meanwhkile Kei started climbling once more and spotted distant sirens, signalling incoming cops much to her dismay. At this rate she'd have to leave the briefcase with them. Damn it!
