Third Person POV. -- 26th of December -- 2415
[ On Top Of The Cruise Ship -- Before Retsu's Blackout]
'My hero. '
That's what Ashido Mina has been seeing Benihana Retsu as.
It's been like this since the Gigantomachia incident a few months ago.
She will never forget how her best friend and hero came to the rescue, saving her two friends and herself from that gigantic monstrosity. How calm she was during the confrontation, how she glowed gold in Mina's eyes in that very moment.
She will never forget.
.
..
...
Sitting near the door of the 'staff only' labeled room, gazing out from the opened crack of the door towards the ongoing scuffle, Ashido Mina was left stunned.
She may have not seen Retsu's prowess and fighting capabilities much in the past, only seeing her spars with Himiko when they would visit, but to be able to hold her own ground against three adult opponents? That's a completely different scenario in Mina's eyes.
In that moment, all she can think about is, 'Retsu-chan is so cool! ' That is her primary thought.
In the eyes of the 12 years old girl, Benihana Retsu has already become a beacon, a light to which Mina is drawn to, like a moth to a flame.
Retsu is slowly becoming to Mina what All Might is to Midoriya Izuku. An idol, a hero, a being who in her eyes, shall never lose to anyone.
So imagine her mindset, when that said shining beacon of hers was suddenly snuffed out.
.
..
...
It happened in less than a second.
One moment, Retsu was beginning to circulate blood through her body, starting to augment herself in order to finish the fight quickly and before her parents catch wind of this,
The next moment her own weapon, her own lifeblood rebelled against herself.
SQUELCH!!!
Hearing the sudden and unusual noise, Himiko, who is transformed into Retsu right now, turned to gaze upon her friend's status, her job of defeating her part of the spy group practically done and dusted.
But what she gazed upon when she turned, is something she didn't expect.
Blood.
Her friend is covered in her own lifeblood.
Covered from head to toe, blood exiting her form as if she has holes all over her body, exiting from her pores, her eyes, ears, mouth, nose, even her skull.
Normally, Himiko would have thought that her friend was just coming up with another crazily overpowered move that would guarantee her win in an instant, just like that earlier display of her taking hold of their enemy's ability to function, but no, no something is fundamentally wrong here, Himiko could feel it.
The first sign, is that despite her best friend's messy quirk and how it could leave blood stains around whenever she uses it, Himiko has never seen a single blemish on Retsu's form during her fights in the past.
The second sign, is her own instincts, honed to perfection through rigorous trainings that she let Retsu perform on her, all to make herself strong enough to stand beside her best friend.
Her instincts as the one who will become the greatest infiltrator, her cat like awareness that makes her subconsciously look around herself whenever she's in a new environment, her unwavering loyalty to her best friend, and a kind of gathered intelligence that lets her see the tiniest differences in character her best friend makes, and be able to tell that her best friend isn't herself, or if she is just performing, or if she is serious in a situation.
Toga Himiko has studied her first best friend's behavior for long enough to interpret what she is even thinking from a single twitch of her body.
So the fact that her said instincts and intuition is telling her that the one before her isn't Retsu, that she isn't herself, Toga Himiko will believe that Intuition.
All these thinking, all these observations, all of it happens in the span of just 2 seconds, and by the third second since Retsu's blood unexpectedly rebelled against herself, the first word, the first name that came to Himiko's mouth got uttered in her own voice, through the mouth of the tall girl's form that she's taken.
"Re-re!!!! "
.
..
...
It was like a switch.
One moment, it was Retsu's consciousness, her spirit that was piloting her flesh body, and the next moment she was abruptly yanked back from the control centre, send back and sat down on a stool in the back, while another consciousness that she wasn't aware of took hold of her body.
Sigh~
Once the transfer got completed, the first thing that came out of that girl's mouth was a stuttering, moaning sigh.
Her mouth opened in a creepy smile, the edges of her mouth twitching in delight, as if she was euphoric, living in her own zone, with no other in her Vicinity, as if she couldn't see nor hear them.
Her bloody hands came to her cheeks, her fingers out and taking hold of her face, while a fresh, healthy blush marked her blood stained face.
"Ahhhh~ this is so weird yet euphoric. I can't even begin to describe this feeling~
To be inside a woman, one whom I love with all my heart~
Ahhh this is truly the best~"
The others hear what she's saying in that uncharacteristic tone of voice, but they aren't capable to understanding a single syllable that comes out of those blood stained, light pink lips.
After her cheeks, her hand goes down and takes hold of her lower form, her hips, hugging herself while stuttering incoherent words.
"T-this is... T-this is the best feeling ever, Khuhuhu~" The creepy smile and laugh doesn't belong to the stoic girl they know either.
It's as if she is possessed, being no longer herself, and another soul having taken hold of her body and form.
The almost unconscious leader of the spy group, who is also witnessing this unusual scene, manages to collect his bearings amidst his wounds and slowly failing body, and utter a command to his stunned teammates that would wake them out of their stupor.
"S-... She's not... Herself! -... Agh... G-go!... Finish-... H-her... " He manages to voice out, before quieting down and trying to conserve his remaining strength to stay awake, and to give his final command once everything is ready.
Hearing his command, the three battle hardened yet currently stunned trio of front fighters regain themselves, before readying their abilities and moving forth to complete their missions.
The rapier holding older gentleman brings his said blade before him, holding it up and vertical before his visage, while his gigantic and heteromorphic friend clenches up his uninjured hand, readying himself for a frantic dash towards 'Retsu'.
Lastly, the fiery red haired woman gets into a boxers stance, before jabbing in front of herself as if she's shadow boxing but in truth, she's moving her fists to generate kinetic energy before she's ready to throw it out with her punch.
The trio take only 3 seconds, before simultaneously pouncing forth, quickly shortening the distance between themselves and their opponent.
Getting into her five meter radius is all they can manage though, as before they can move any further, their bodies lock up in place, both spiritually and physically.
Their opponent's previous unfocused gaze, which was looking up in pure bliss and euphoria, is now trained on them.
The previous sky blue irises of hers has now changed to a complete and bloody crimson, marking this as her metamorphosis being complete.
"Ha? A bunch of lower lifeforms daring to hurt my precious Retsu?
Not to worry though, I am now in full control. which means... " The bloodstains on her right hand gathers in her right fist, forming a pseudo blood gauntlet.
"... I can use her meta ability aswell. Or no wait, you people call it quirks in this era, no? " The entity who has now taken full control of Retsu's body smirks, before 'she' sends out the first person in the trio's group flying away with a single punch. It was the Heteromoph once more.
Boom!!!
The air is displaced, visibly stronger than the previous blow the crocodile man experienced, as he is once more send flying and hitting the iron walls of the cruise ship.
His form is embedded into the wall, his head slumping as he quietly faints, his consciousness knocked out by a single punch.
"Wow~ nice! Her strength is unparalleled as always! " The being inside Retsu's Body says, 'her' smirk wide and unhinged, before 'she' turns 'her' gaze to the other two paralyzed opponents before 'her',
"Do you mutated monkeys also want to dance~" It wasn't a question.
'Her' form blurrs, before 'she' appears before the rapier holder, and sends him sideways with a single back handed strike to his side ribs, bending his poor body in a weird way before he shoots out and hits the iron railings, his form denting the railing and start spinning in the air sideway while he falls over and into the lake's cold waters.
"Khu! khuhuhuhu! Hahahahaha~" 'She laughs in delight, "ahhhh~ this is truly the best feeling ever! To fight! To dominate! To beat your adversaries to the ground with no chance of them retaliating!
Ahhhh I love this! I love her! I want to do this with her! I want to fight along side her!!! " The being once more goes into one of 'her' rants, forgetting about 'her' third and final opponent who's standing right on 'her' left side.
But 'she' is completely ignoring 'her' red haired opponent, why? Simple,
It's because 'her' final adversary is in no fighting shape.
"A-aaaaghhhhhhg-! " The crimson haired brawler is convulsing while standing still, only her mouth left out for her screams to be heard.
"Now now~ it's not that unpleasant of a feeling is it?
To drown in your own blood I mean~"
Hematopoiesis is the biological process through which the body produces new blood cells. It occurs in the bone marrow, where special stem cells called hematopoietic stem cells develop into the three main blood lineages: red blood cells which carry oxygen, white blood cells which fight infections, and platelets which allow blood to clot, preventing bleed outs from minor cuts.
This process is tightly regulated by hormones and growth factors, –such as erythropoietin for red blood cells, to keep blood cell levels balanced and replace cells that naturally wear out or are lost.
One of Sanguimancy's main ability is all about blood control, and in layman's terms, Hematopoiesis is Sanguimancy's production factory that makes ammunition for it.
Now here comes Sanguimancy's most terrifying capability, it's power over blood cells and the ability to change blood cells into any cell type it wants.
From bone marrow, to tissue, to veins, to organs. The human body is comprised of these functioning biological contraptions, but most importantly, they are made out of cells.
Meaning they are at the mercy of Sanguimancy.
Now if it were possible for Sanguimancy to influence other being's cells without anything in between, it would have been in the realms of godly abilities, rivaling and even surpassing New Order and All For One in terms of lethality. But it's area of influence only extends to its wielder.
But that is only a conventional limit, there is no rule depicting one can't influence another being by their own blood cells. And Sanguimancy's ability to change it's user's Blood cells into any cell type they want becomes the medium, the bridge, that connects the Sanguimancy user to their opponent in a cellular level, allowing them to control their opponent in the most terrifying of ways.
One of these terrifying ways?
Drowning Tide!
The ability to make an opponents Hematopoiesis work over time, taking control of their system and sacrificing their own energy to boost the blood production capacity of the human body, quite literally fooding the inside of their body with their own blood.
"Khuhuhu~ ahh this is the best! My dear wife's meta ability is truly the best among everyone's!
This is why I love her, Even her own genetics make her meta ability out to be the most terrifying of them all!!!
Even All For One isn't as terrifying as this!
The power to puppeteer other organic lifeforms!
I wonder how her awakening would influence her qui-"
"Who the fuck do you think you're calling your wife! " Before the entity can finish with 'her' thoughts, a voice comes from the second floor, a familiar, masculine, yet currently pissed beyond measure voice!
Looking up, the entity inside Retsu's body sees a tall, very broad man with blood red eyes, and raven black hair.
Benihana Tatsuya is here. Though currently he is more Redvein than Tetsuya, gazing down at his daughter, or better yet the person or entity who has taken hold of her body.
"Let her go. " Is his simple command, whether it's for Retsu's body, or the currently drowning in her own blood woman beside this entity, or both of them, is left unsaid by the pro hero.
The entity looks up, the blood red eyes which has a deeper sheen than Redvein's irises narrowing in thought, before it widens in delight. A smile, one genuinely happy, forms on 'Retsu's' face. And the words 'she' utters next are so out of place, so un-Retsu like, that Redvein's thought regarding his daughter truly being possessed cements itself fully.
"Father In-law~ you're finally here! What a delight~
I hereby ask for your daughter's hand in marriage. Of course, once I'm in a seperate body from hers~" 'She'... No.
No that is so wrong. It is 'He' who bows low in Redvein's precious daughter's body, awaiting his answer, but the pro hero doesn't acknowledge the words uttered at all. Instead he repeats his earlier command once again.
"Release her. I won't say it again. " His furious tone gains up another deep layer, his red irises glowing in fury at this point.
"Hm? Oh you mean this lower lifeform? Anything to get your approval my dear Father In-law~" The entity says before 'he' let's go of 'his' control over the drowning woman beside 'him', letting her fall to the floor and vomit out blood from her lungs, her energy spent completely which leads to her falling on her face then and there, unconscious.
"Now that the lower lifeform is out of the way, " The entity says in disdain, before turning 'his' gaze back up, "what say you, Father In-la-" 'He' looks up, but Redvein isn't there anymore.
A hand falls on the right shoulder of the entity in Retsu's body. The hand is gentle, fatherly and holding to the shoulder preciously.
But it is the intent in those Red eyes that's boring into the crimson irises of his oppoent.
Those dead, killing intent focused, shineless eyes.
They convey to the entity what words will never describe, but in a simple word? A resounding 'no! '
"Hmmmm~ why do you look so angry, dear Father In-la-"
"Do not call me that. And I told you I wouldn't be repeating myself. " Tetsuya interrups.
'I don't know if this will even work, but I know Retsu can handle it because of her Recovery. Gods help me here please, because I'm about to do with her what no sane father does. ' Tetsuya thinks briefly, before his blood gets to work.
The Benihana's blood are unique and special. Normally there are type A+, A−, B+, B−, AB+, AB−, O+ and O−.
There is a system within these blood types that let one person donate to another. For example, The O− blood type can only receive blood from another O− individual, but it can be donated to all other blood types.
In that contaxt, An A+ blood type can receive blood from A+, A−, O+, or O− individuals, but it can donate only to A+ and AB+.
There are rules applied to who can receive blood from who. These conventional rules stem from compatibility with red blood cells and the antibodies in the plasma within a blood cell.
A Benihana on the other hand, is a completely different case.
One may call them human by appearance, but their blood cells suggest a completely different thing.
They are classified as a type U, meaning Universal blood. They can take any blood type in their bodies, their immune system compatible with any type that they may need, but the other way around?
SQUELCH!!!
They will destroy and synthesize a foreign blood type if it gets into contact with theirs, turning it into energy for itself to consume.
A fellow U type's case though, is different.
"Blegh! -" Retsu's body jerks, the body expelling blood outside just because a foreign one entered it's system, a fellow U type just like itself, but one that was made and born in another being's body.
It's like the two unstoppable moving masses scenario. When two unstoppable mass collide with one another, they can't push each other back because both of them have the same strength, mass, and everything in between. Meaning that no matter what, you can't make two U types work with one another, because they will reject each other simply because one cannot consume and synthesize the other, unlike other inferior blood types.
In layman's terms, a fellow universal type --Type U--? Yeah it doesn't like it's own kind.
Redvein jumps back before getting into a stance, lowering his centre of gravity and compacting his core, readying his already augmented body for if his opponent isn't down with the surprise attack.
"Cough cough! " 'He' vomits out a little more blood, before looking up with a narrowed eyed gaze. "That was a cheap trick, even for you, Father In-law. "
"... " Redvein doesn't repeat his earlier words again, just like he said he wouldn't. 'Conversation is over. '
Retsu's body has been healed already, the little foreign blood that entered the body having been expelled by those vomits, along with the body's own blood that carried it out, and the hematopoiesis has already finished filling back the body's blood to its full.
For Benihana Retsu's body, this only worked as a distraction, a stunning effect that the body's quirk healed in less than a second, the recovery being faster than if a Redvein who doesn't have the same healing capability were in the same scenario.
But one second is enough.
'It didn't work, dammit! ' Redvein thinks, before he jumps forward to deliver a half-strenghtened blow to his own daughter's body, however mentally painful it would be to him.
'I'll have her returned the only way I know how!' The lifeline hero, the man who's fists are famous for one shotting even strong, defense type villains, shoots forward to hopefully bring back his daughter, to give him another victory, just like it always has.
"I see that our first meeting isn't going so well! Oh well no matter. The next time we meet, it will be in my own form! " The entity, in the body and voice of Retsu's, yells out before throwing out 'his' own fist, a blood gauntlet around the fist as it advances forth.
Bam!
But it seems like the Entity is slow to catching up.
Up until this point, 'he' had defeated everyone since 'his' emergence, and forgot about one fundamental point.
"Ugh! "
It's that he forgot he's currently inhabiting a much shorter body, one where his reach is not like before, one who's hands are shorter and therefore not compatible with a defenseless fist fight.
Redvein's longer and much wider fist has struck the much shorter form's face before his opponent could strike at him, letting Redvein push forward and win the up close brawl.
Skiiiid!
Sliding back a few steps, 'his' face having fallen back, before 'he' brings it back up and forward with a hand, a smirk donning 'his' face as the red mark imprint of the blow visibly heals under seconds.
"How mean~ hitting the precious face of your own daughter? That is the furthest thing a good father would do to his own daughter. Are you sure you're a hero? ~" The entity playfully says.
"SHUT THE HELL UP AND GIVE HER BODY BACK!!!! " The now thoroughly pissed pro hero yells out, his teeth clenching to the point of grinding it, and his form shooting forward in a blur, leaving an after image in the wake of his displayed speed.
Tetsuya or rather Redvein, is a man of cold logic who follows a narrow pathway. He solves crimes and disputes with an easy detachment as if there isn't a side to pick at all.
The only two exceptions that can make this cold machine hum with emotion, is if his dear wife and daughter are included in those scenarios or not.
Bam!
Another strike clean to the sternum, destroying the breathing path for the body which leaves his opponent choking on air.
Though only temporarily because in the next moment it's all healed up again.
"Hmmmmmph! " Redvein puts his back into his next strike, planting his feet and rotating his hips, before striking a clean one at the entity's chest area, making the body lose its feet and be blown away in a shower of displaced air.
Before the entity finds 'his' footing, Redvein is onto 'him' once more, appearing in the flying body's path and intercepting it with a hammer slam towards the ship's open deck.
Boooom!!!
The residual impact's weight is strong enough that it makes the cruise ship start tilting back and forth.
While Redvein is plummeting down, intent on beating the entity out of his daughter's body, fully knowing Retsu could heal herself later, the other occupants of the deck have things of their own to do.
The captain and leader of the spy group is barely clinging to consciousness, still waiting for a moment to strike. The fiery red headed brawler of their group is still down and unconscious, the crocodile man's body has fallen from his imbedded form at the iron walls, and the rapier holding gentleman? currently doing everything he can to ignore his probably broken ribs, and try to swim to the ship as much as his hurting body can.
As for Himiko and Mina?
Throughout this scuffle that feels long but is actually very short, Himiko hasn't been staying idle. She quickly had gotten her bearings and went to Mina, before taking the terrified girl's hand and start running to the other side of the ship and towards her awaiting Aunt Kie, leaving this to the capable hands of her best friend's father.
'Please be safe! ' was the last thing the slowly transforming back girl thought as she rounded the corner and disappeared from the rear deck of the ship, dragging away her emotionally unresponsive pink friend with her.
Redvein's feet hit the deck, his stance never faltering as he awaited for his opponent to get up. 'First, the little blood invasion didn't work. I hoped it did and shook Retsu enough for her to wake up, and maybe her consciousness could push this one out and get back in control, but it didn't.
So the second option is to beat the crap out of the body, and exhaust it enough that the consciousness would fall out, and the next time she wakes up hopefully it's Retsu. '
Up until now, Redvein thinks that it's some kind of body possession type quirk, and he knows that since quirks, at the end of the day are like physical muscles, he could maybe tire it out enough that it would turn off on its own, letting Retsu's consciousness come back and take control.
He has no idea that there is no third party involved. This is something that's fundamentally wrong with his own daughter's quirk factor, it has no external hand puppeteering it from somewhere else.
Boom!
Another strike to his opponent's flesh,
Bam!
Another one right after the first, not letting 'him' recover.
Fwooosh!
A missed one that his opponent dodged, but one that Redvein didn't put his back into.
Fwooosh!
Dodging the retaliation blow, Redvein this time put his back into it, channeling physical force from the soles of his feet, to his rotating hips, up his core and shoulder, and striking through his fist that hurts like hell,
Baaaaam!!!
A clean, straight hit to the cheekbone, slightly denting the bone while sending his opponent into the air with a whiplash follow up.
'Come on! Work dammit! ' Redvein thinks internally, feeling as if he's experiencing those blows himself.
And why wouldn't he be feeling that way? After all, at the end of the day that's the body of his own daughter that he's beating to the high heavens and ground.
The body hits the second floor railings, before it rotates and falls to the other side, denting the iron railings while also killing the momentom.
Bam!
Redvein's feet hits the second floor, having jumped from the first and arriving right before the slumped down body.
"Had enough yet? You body snatching mongrel! Now get the hell out! " Redvein yells out, behind him a crowd having been slowly gathering, yet not seeing Retsu's form because of Redvein seperating their sight with him in the middle.
"Tetsuya? Who is it!? A villain?! " He hears his wife's voice from behind, letting his mind clear out and his eyes to widen in realization.
'I can't let her see Retsu's body in this state, she wouldn't be able to stomach it. Agh dammit, what the hell have I done, and how did you let a scum take hold of your body Retsu? '
Seeing his unresponsive opponent, Redvein voices out, "Stay back! It's dangerous! Don't get near the railings everyone! "
He says before quickly scooping up the body, careful to not let it be seen by shielding it with his body and hovering blood, before he jumps back down to the first floor, leaving a blood wall near the railing so no curious bystander wanders close and sees or records anything.
'I'm sorry honey. ' he briefly thinks, before looking down to see the eyes of his opponent is already closed. 'He' is unconscious.
'Did it work? '
Thump!
Falling to the deck, his feet to the floor as he still gazes down at the face of the one he's holding onto.
"Rets-" Before he can finish,
Shlick!
A blood sword enters his stomach and exits his back, Miraculously missing his vitals but still,
"Blegh! " He spits out blood, doing everything he can to keep the injury at minimum by hardening his blood around the wound.
"Khuhuhu~" He hears the sinister giggle, before looking down to see blood red irises gazing up at him.
"Ahhh~ you're so gullible, Father In-law~" 'He' playfully says before pushing Redvein to the floor and getting up.
"I would have preferred to have your blessing, but I'm sure Mother In-law's blessing alone would work too, " 'He' conjures a blade in his right hand, gripping it in a reverse hold with the tip facing Redvein's chest.
"Goodbye, Father In-law~" He says before bringing down the blade,
-though it's abruptly stopped inches from the pro hero's chest!
A hand, the body's left one, has taken hold of the right's wrist, struggling to hold it in place and not letting it advance further.
"Ag- ughhhh! " The entity tries, but 'he' can't seem to budge the sword further.
"Ugh! Done already! This is so cliche! Saved in the last second by your own daughter! " The entity says, 'his' left feet slowly taking back steps, before the right one is out of 'his' control and takes a step back too.
"Agh! Damn that parasite! She's not even able to hold Her back for a few minutes!
But not to worry, I will be back once more~" 'He' says, before leaving with that ominous few last words, letting go of 'his' control over the body and not struggling further.
As his consciousness moves back though, it encounters an unexpected sight that leaves it stunned.
"What the hell are you doing here?!? Where is Retsu!!! " The consciousness yells out as it's moving back, and in its place, the woman he just talked about moves to take hold of the controls, if only temporarily.
The crimson eyed 'Unohana Retsu' lookalike doesn't give him even a single glance as it moves forward.
Grip!
The man takes hold of her wrist before she moves any further, "I asked you something you parasite! Where the hell is Retsu?!? "
"Sleeping." Is the answer he gets before she yanks back her wrist, and start moving forward again, widening the gap between herself and the man.
"... This is not over. " The man ominously says, before his form is lost in red particles, moving back to the domain, the memory, the dreamscape inside the quirk factor like the parasite that he too is.
.
..
...
Back to the real world,
Before her fall, Retsu's form gets held up once more, her eyes opening with the same crimson red irises as has been for the last 4 to 5 minutes.
She looks around, her expression flat, and sees Redvein is slowly standing up.
"She is safe. " She simply says, before moving to silently, delicately, sit and then lie down on the floor.
Once down, her eyes closes, and the consciousness fades away, leaving the body as if it's asleep and dreaming.
"... "
Sigh...
Redvein gives out a sigh, finally relaxing and slumping down his head,
Which was a mistake.
"Do it now! " He hears a yell, making Redvein look in that direction in alarm.
'What! ' but the hero is too late.
Puff!
Air is displaced, before someone suddenly appears before Retsu's fallen form amidst a red, powder like mist.
The red skinned, short statured and tuxedo wearing man with a fedora hat tips his said hat in the direction of his leader, his normally red eyes bloodshot because of the trigger in his system.
He tips his hat in quiet acknowledgement, before taking hold of Retsu's form, and without fanfare or any words,
Puff!
-taps away out of existence.
One of the members of the spy group, quirk, Teleportation. It gives him the ability to destroy his molecular structure and the molecular structure of anyone he's trouching, and quickly move the massless form at instant speeds, before putting the mass back together for atleast a quarter of a kilometer away from their current spot. The ability is istant, and it's calculation and everything else is done manually by the quirk itself, only needing a high amount of stamina which the user cannot produce more than once or twice per day.
The ability is strenuous, making it so that he's only able to basically TP for once or twice per day before he's out of juice, and carrying someone else with him makes the tole on him even worse.
Though thanks to the injected trigger within his system, he's able to push the ability much further beyond it's perceived limit.
Also P. S, Teleportation or warp type quirks are truly rare, making this man very much an important piece within his organization.
Yes, a very important piece. So it would be a real shame if he were to die.
Yes, a real shame.
.
..
...
"... " Left speechless, Redvein has nothing to do or say,
Nothing except, "what...the fuck..."
.
..
...
With Retsu and her kidnapper,
One Kilometer away from the lake and near Mt. Fuji.
Puff!
Appearing in a clearing, the man puts Retsu's form to the ground, before he falls on his ass with his breathing ragged and very tired.
'Even with the trigger, my quirk is still a very energy costing ability, I'm totally spent here. '
After a minute, he strains to stand up again, 'okay, one more time. '
He turns his gaze towards where Retsu's body should be lying on the ground but...
"W-... Wha-... " She's not there,
"Where did she go?!? When did she even get up!?! " The man frantically looks to his left and right, but doesn't see her.
Drip!
A single drop of some liquid hits the floor, the sound coming from behind him.
His form freezes in place, like a deer caught in the headlights. Slowly turning his head, his form being in a crouched state as he gazes at his back,
The sun is beading from in front of him, so he wouldn't have seen the silhouette of her shadow.
Retsu is standing right behind the crouching man, gazing down at him with her sky blue eyes half lidded, clearly in a trance.
"... "
"... I'm... I'm Sorry-"
SQUELCH!!!
