As the untransformed Ryuji kept wandering the place he could only describe as an empty void, he heard the faint voice of somebody calling his name. He couldn't make out who was calling out to him, but the reason why was something he could discern. "I've... gone berserk again, haven't I?" Ryuji mumbled to himself, his words spreading their way throughout the void. It'd been more 3 years since the last time he came here.

Ryuji kept on roaring intimidatingly as he looked at the villains before him, spit flinging out of his mouth and some odd, orange glowing liquid making it's way out of his eye sockets and ears. He ripped the tentacles off of him but grabbed one of them, trying to swing Ika like a morning star at the villains.

Josh watched the cloaked man, for any gestures or expressions he might give. He defiantly has a plan Incase any students or teachers approached him. Although he possibly couldn’t have planned for the cards to be laid out like this. Rika and the other one distracting his beast thing, leaving him vurnable to a stealth quirk. Well he might’ve planned something out for that, but that is why Josh is trying to eye him so. So he can possibly get a hint of his next move .

Ika's water jets sprung to life, keeping her from being slammed into anyone as she wrapped the tentacles around him again, this time trying to lift him up and slam him back down "I-I'm sorry Ryuji! You need to calm down!"

With another blast loud blast suddenly the smoke back flew in front of her, the ground behind Uroko where the blast rang out before destroyed as he chuckled "Where are you running to hmmm? I thought you where suppose to be a mighty dragon!"

---

"Children... Such fools..." He sighed and shook his head, as the punch came in his body turned to a black soot, wrapping around the two before starting to collapse on it's self

Back down at the bottom of the stairs the portal was reopening

Ryuji was quickly slammed into the ground with the force of Ika's tentacles. Pinned to the ground, Ryuji struggled and roared, more of that weird liquid coming out his eye sockets and even his ears, even seeming to sear his hardened skin somehow. However, no matter how much he struggled now, he was unable to use his improved strength intelligently, and thus failed to get up.

Meanwhile, the un-transformed Ryuji began feeling his transformation was waning off. There was 20, no, probably 10 seconds left before he'd return to his normal state. Once more, he had failed to break out of his angered state and likely hurt the people around him indiscriminately, although he had no idea what was actually going on out there. He could only hope he hadn't hurt anyone.

With the portal opening out under her feet. Rika's eyes flashed down and back up to the cloaked man. Gritting her teeth she attempted to take a running start in some feeble attempt to throw a punch. Yet with the ground de-materialising under her, and her lungs filling with soot, she fell down. Her arm stretching out, grabbing Shatter as he acted like a sack of potatoes in this instant. She growled, hearing Josh's voice as she began to fall.

Teeth gritted and eyes screwed shut, Shatter in one hand. She growled heavily, her hair flaring up ginger once more, as she practically threw Shatter up and out of the portal to where Josh was. With her last words before that portal closed, she screamed out. "Kick his ass already!"

Falling through she flipped her body to face the ground, stretching out her arms, blasting pillars of fire down to break her fall as she hit the floor at the bottom of the stairs. Falling down in a slump, her hair slowly faded back to it's hazel brown. Pushing her upper body up, she coughed up a mixture of blood and soot, her arms trembling, and her stomach feeling weak. That last little boost of fire was a bad idea, and she knew it.

"I'm going to fucking murder me people soon." She coughed, wiping away the spit from her mouth, as she raised her head to face whatever threat decided to face her.

Pushing herself up to her knees, Rika looked up at the two villains, that fear she felt so deeply, now replaced with a mixture of anger and smug affection. Noticing Uroko, she climbed up to the girl. Her arms weak, as she fell into another coughing fit. Her skin seemed pale, as her eyes lost that they always held. "Mind giving a girl a hand?" Rika asked, giving out a hand, wanting some help getting up.

Upon hearing the the cloaked man speak, she only smiled, a smug nature about that smile. "You bet he got out, failed to three fucking kids... You two are pathetic aren't you?" Rika smiled, with the sounds of doors being thrown open exploding behind her moments after. "And wouldn't you believe, I think that's them... So better pack up your toys and run while you can."

“You know what, I think you stood there like you have a stick up your ass long enough.”

Josh did not see any possible interference from any other thing, as they could be distracted by what blasted the doors. So he played his numbers, and went in to wack the cloaked man over the head. Josh couldn’t help but feel a since of justice as he holstered up his arms and let them just guide his baton over the guy’s temple. It wasn’t justice for his classmates, but more justice for himself if he hadn’t had his one swing at the guy.
