do you believe in fate? if fate decreed that your life was to end in tragedy, what would you do?

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

..eh?

[𝕸𝖔𝖗𝖉𝖆 𝕯𝖊𝖑𝖆𝖗𝖔𝖘𝖆 @BaeBladeHero]

Everyone get in here

Jake is a legs man

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

Tired..💤

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

"To see my creations fail is just a..little embarrassing, it's no different to losing a fight in my opinion."

[ShangWu @PLASMASTXR]

"You can always make more though , right ? I don't get what's so shameful about it."

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

"I would accept defeat quite handily! A swift death via a villain is probably better than the shame associated with the failure of my creations.."

[ShangWu @PLASMASTXR]

"That's it, you would just accept defeat ? Blasphemy."

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

"..Die probably? I dunno!"

[ShangWu @PLASMASTXR]

"Hmmmm...I suppose that's fine, everyone has their strengths but what will you do if you can't rely on your puppets ?"

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

"..I don't think my body is all that strong- I make up for it with a strong mind!"

[ShangWu @PLASMASTXR]

"A strong body is a must for a hero !"

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

"I'm supposed to work on my actual physical ability..I always hate stuff like this, my puppets are much better suited for it."

[ShangWu @PLASMASTXR]

"What's wrong with your training schedule to make you dread it ? Training is a great thing."

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

"I'm fineeee..just dreading my training schedule."

[ShangWu @PLASMASTXR]

"Are you okay ?"

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

She's just..standing in the middle of the hallway, vibrating quite intensely.

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

//why couldn't I log back into this account..

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

[ 🤖 ]

"Indeed..though you've left me strapped for options, all my options to defeat you I had planned have been disrupted. I am unsure of how to proceed.."

She's honest at least, she truly relied on her plan with the sensory puppet to claim victory.

[Ryutaro Takeshi @DraconicChi]

"It's okay. Not many people know I can fly using my Quirk. You couldn't have planned for that, so don't blame yourself. Shall we keep going?"

Positive reinforcement was a strong suit of his. He wanted to continue to test her as well as himself.

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

That's not quite how she foresaw the exchange going, after exhausting their fuel reserves she didn't have much of an option but to await another idea to come across..

[ 🤖 ]

"That was..inopportune, not exactly the most intelligent move on my part I suppose."

[Ryutaro Takeshi @DraconicChi]

It seemed he was boxed in on all sides by the puppets. However, he had a way out. Once the flames were shot his way, he jumped upwards and started floating in midair to avoid the flames. That was a close one.

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

@FEAREVERING //GO..GO TO THE DUNGEONS ONE MAY REFER TO AS DIRECT MESSAGES..

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

Into gigantic beams of concentrated flames. This was the most they were capable of exerting at once, and thus it was more intense than the previous beams fired.

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

The plan seemed to alter on the fly, each puppet taking a stance surrounding Ryutaro. Their lower jaws opening up and producing barrels, each then brought their hand cannons up to their mouths.

And with that prepped they fired, each dumping their entire fuel load +

[Ryutaro Takeshi @DraconicChi]

His speed was increasing with each puppet that approached him, batting them away at every angle they approached him from. He was a rather tricky opponent to take down, it seems. How was she gonna do it?

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

Learn rather than win, though that raised the question of how exactly she may make an attempt to win.

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

The puppets themselves were unsurprisingly intense, being controlled by one person gave them the benefit of absolute synchronization to a plan. Each time they were defended against they'd come back from different angles, it was clear Airi herself was trying to +

[Ryutaro Takeshi @DraconicChi]

Now, this was more like it. He was waiting for each puppet to approach him, batting them away with stronger punches and kicks than he'd perform previously. He wasn't holding back this time.

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

Activate their weapons, only relying on strength and what little martial arts knowledge Airi herself possessed.

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

[🤖 ]

"I expected no less, but it's unfortunately left me with scarce options to take you on."

And with that she had the puppets charge, only intending to have them all engage in melee combat in a hope to overwhelm the martial artist. They didn't yet +

[Ryutaro Takeshi @DraconicChi]

"Thanks. That noise was disorienting, but it won't be enough to stop me. Sorry about destroying one of them, though. I had no choice."

He was prepared for what might be coming next. Hopefully, it was much more straightforward.

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

Instead taking a moment to observe their surroundings while the closest began to speak.

[ 🤖 ]

"I didn't see that outcome coming, I was presuming your eardrums would burst before you adapted enough to attack. Very impressive!"

[𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 @RMTCTRLNG]

That managed to halt it, moreso obliterate it but the effect was all the same. Airi's reinforcements were just short as well, there had to be at least five or six puppets climbing through the open window.

They didn't attack immediately, +

[Ryutaro Takeshi @DraconicChi]

The sound did disrupt him for a moment, but he charged up an energy projectile in his hand and launched it at the noise-producing puppet in an attempt to stop it.
