KAIJU FIGHT #1

CONTENT WARNINGS: thalassophobia, natural disaster, drowning, body horror, violence, blood & gore.

▶ 001. SEAS THE DAY.

On the morning of the 1st, sirens will blare, forcing every Outsider and Neo Tokyo civilian awake. While it hasn't been activated for a while, every citizen within the city knows this alarm all too well - it wails through the city whenever a Kaiju has been detected, ordering everyone to return to their homes immediately and stay there until they receive further information. Outsiders gazing at Neo Tokyo will see the armored city in its full technological splendour for the first time today. Once the civilians have returned to their homes, machinery within the buildings will work like clockwork, sinking each and every LILITH-augmented building beneath the ground. Just in time, too, because the waves are starting to roar again, crashing beyond the shore and flooding the city once more. Observant Outsiders may note that not every building has been modified. The older ones remain standing, vulnerable to the impending flood. Does anyone live in those buildings? The answer is yes, but that's not a priority at the moment.

Every Outsider will receive a summon, ordering them to prepare for battle. The Kaiju has been identified and located. It's show time.

"Angels of LILITH. We have located the Kaiju coming from beyond the sea. A full mission brief including the information we have gathered will be sent to you immediately. For now, make your way to the bay where your transport will be waiting. Be prepared for anything, but mostly, be prepared to swim."

Waiting for the Outsiders at the bay appear to be ... expensive-looking, personal yachts? This has to be a mistake, right? It's no mistake. Through intel LILITH has exchanged with international companies, it appears that this particular Kaiju has a fondness for overturning civilian yachts, and there's no better way to attract it than to leave it its favourite bait. The goal is to attract these Kaiju towards the boats and then attacking.

The ships may look like they're outfitted for a fancy yacht party. In fact, some exploring down below deck in the lounging room, one may find caviar on fancy ritz, oyster tower, little finger sandwiches with the crusts cut off and bougie smelly cheese that nobody in LILITH's pay grade can identify. On another table, there is fancy ramen spoons filled with microgreens, crystal jelly vinegarette, and a thin slice of parmesan cheese. Some further looking may find some fine aged wine, but you're not here to drink and party, you're here to fight a Kaiju! Right? Right.

Despite the fact everything about these yachts just look like... fancy yachts... they are actual warships that are mounted with naval artillery such as swivel guns, missiles and torpedos. Spears, harpoon guns and fishing nets can also be found and used if an Outsider is more comfortable getting extremely close to the monsters. There's no time for a proper seafaring course, so Outsiders will be given a quick run down on how the controls work, and be sent on their way. They will also be given a special jewel-like implant that attaches to the skin, right along the forehead, and told to wear it if they need to go into the water. "Don't worry about it," the LILITH crew says. "But it'll be one hell of a ride if you use it."

Alongside the crew, Seok Dang seems to be also assisting (?) though he's gotten a hold of the reception food down below. Did he smell like fine wine? Possibly. But that's definitely a fancy, half eaten cracker in his hand. He's also got on a bright, neon life preserver. Maybe someone doesn't know how to swim.

"WHOOO HELLA YEAH, MOTHERFUCKERS. Don't know how to swim? Don't'cha worry. Daddy Dang has got you covered. I know CPR! I give the best CPR! 💖 I'll rescue ya. TONIGHT, WE BALL!"

Nobody uses that phrase anymore, but you know what? You do you, SD.

▶ 002. WHALE WATCHING.

Minutes into their ship's course, the boats will rock violently, as if those already violent waves have somehow come alive. There is something in the water! The mission brief would have been shared with them sometime during their trip, but maybe Outsiders want to pull up on their implant the image and debrief shared once again now that there is some action. The orca-like Kaiju trying to reach the shores of Neo Tokyo is called Shachimon, and she's been the cause of the violent waves and flooding we've seen for the past few weeks. Alongside of her and are her children orca who love to mimic everything their mother does. The biggest one, the matriarch of the pod, is over 60 meters in length - large enough to swallow a boat whole. The younger ones are smaller but just as ferocious, spanning from the size of a car to the size of a bus. The youngsters are a size small enough that they can leap out of the water, sometimes crashing down onto people and ships. Beware!

Shachimon will be fighting to knock over boats, or climbing on boats with their amphibious legs. Once they get their hands on humans or Outsiders, they pull them into the water, tearing them limb from limb to feed. Their control over the waves are no joke, either. With a powerful swing of their tail, they can conjure up tsunamis capable of overturning ships. The matriarch, if left to her own devices, seems bent on submerging Neo Tokyo to make food of all its citizens.

█ █ █ MONSTER DEBRIEF SHEET
NAME: Shachimon
HEIGHT: Younger whales are 4 - 18 metres. The matriarch is 60 meters in length.
WEIGHT: 1500kg - 5000kg
CLASS: Highly dangerous.
LOCATION: Large bodies of water
ABILITIES: Use of sonar to detect any water movement. Fast swimmer. Very sturdy body thanks to all that whale blubber. High intelligence - commonly works together as a pod to take down prey. Capable of creating tsunamis that overturn boats. The largest Shachimon can sink a city if not stopped.
WEAKNESS: Electricity (since it will be inside water), dissection, spearing its eyes or blowhole. Loud vibrations within the water can stun or confuse it.
EXTRA NOTES: Dislikes and will attempt to overturn civilian yachts. Carnivorous, eating marine life and human flesh. Sadistic personality, may play with their food prior to eating.

█ █ █ MISSION OBJECTIVE:
✖ Lead the Shachimon away from the shore.
✖ Extermination of Shachimon in the water and if they reach the shore.
✖ Protection of nearby fishermen's boats and civilians within those boats.
✖ Teamwork to destroy the matriach Shachimon.
✖ Bring back specimens (live or deceased) for research purposes.

█ █ █ ATTACHED PHOTO:

As a note, Outsiders who wish to remain on land and help civilians there may do so. There are waves flooding the city, and some of the smaller, quicker Shachimon will have made it to shore. They will need to be taken care of before they can terrorise the city.

▶ 003. OCEAN GEMS.

Shachimon are most deadly in the water and their go-to strategy is to pull others into their turf, where they have the advantage. That's where those jewel-like implants come in. These implants, called OCEAN GEMS, when attached to the skin, temporarily modify the body. Once activated, nanobots will invade the bloodstream and alter the user's lungs, giving them a set of breathable gills. Their legs will also be altered, giving them fins and the tail of a fish. This is a recent invention by LILITH ever since the first Shachimon was spotted a few years ago, and the technology is still experimental. This means that the transformation process will be significantly uncomfortable, feeling a bit like being asphyxiated and having your legs sewn together at the same time. Deactivating the gem and turning back feels just as uncomfortable, and being experimental technology, it can take a while before the user can successfully revert back. Those who want to fight in the water and lack any weapons or abilities that can be used can request Seok Dang for a weapon. There's a limited supply, but they will be given a special trident. Directly driving the spear into one of the kaiju will electrocute it, giving a higher chance for higher damage. These tridents will be handed out to those who want to use their Ocean Gem and ask.

It's up to Outsiders whether they want to use this new technology or not. Being able to fight the monsters on their own terrain is certainly an advantage, so LILITH would highly encourage it.

▶ 004. MEDICAL BAY.

Healers and those with medical experience will be placed on the warship with a red flag on it. Dr. Spim & Alex will also be present on this ship to assist any major injuries to both LILITH and civilian fisherman alike. This ship is bigger than the others, and while stocked up with the same artillery, it is also stocked with beds and medical supplies. This will be the Outsider's naval medical bay during the siege on the Shachimon and all injured Outsiders or civilians will need to be transported there. This ship will also need to be protected heavily, because once the Shachimon catch on that all the injured, vulnerable prey are being transported to the larger ship, they will start to target that ship in particular. Characters that need immediate medical help should be transported to this ship via a dataportal. Each yacht has a dataportal that can teleport anyone instantly to the medical ship. The dataportals are also located down below deck to prevent them from getting damaged.

▶ 005. THE CALM AFTER THE STORM.

It's a bloody, soggy and gruesome battle and the seas' waves begin to calm down, the sea filled with kaiju carcasses. LILITH's clean up crew is working hastily to collect these corpses, but with the Outsiders' occupied and recovering from their fresh battle, help is limited. Search and rescue scavenges the sea to find any civilians who didn't make it or may need medical help. Meanwhile, the valiant teamwork and effort has paid off. After many hits from many different weapons, artillery, natural abilities, etc. the matriarch kaiju has been downed and sank to the bottom of the ocean floor. LILITH's team will work to retrieve the massive carcass, though it will take awhile. Those who put in notable effort will receive praise and a little extra payout. Outsiders will see an instant transfer of funds to their account: 340,000,000 KRYPTOS. This is roughly about 2500 USD.

The intense battle will have lasted several days and Outsiders are free to go from land to sea as little or as often as they like. It is all over, though, and Outsiders will be called to return to the MAIN BASE for rest and recovery. LILITH will also be searching for the rift where the kaiju came from while Outsiders recover. A message from an unknown voice will pop up an hour or so after all Outsiders have returned to the MAIN BASE. Outsiders may use this time to socialize in a commons area, wash up in the showers, get a meal in the cafeteria or rest.

"Good work."

▶ 006. AFTERWORD.

Welcome to our first Kaiju log! All prompts are highly encouraged but OOCly optional. ICly, characters can choose to fight in the ocean, on the ships or stay behind on land and protect the city. At the end of the siege, characters who accepted an Ocean Gem will be asked to return it. It's experimental technology, so LILITH will need to do more tweaking before they can properly release it. Outsiders who use the gem may have whatever fish tail they like, as long as it is a sea creature.

Feel free to NPC your characters' fights with the smaller kaijus. The main fight with the Shachimon matriarch will be determined via a HP-based system (See below).

Please note that all tags in this log count for 2 reward points each. Ask any further questions below!

[1797]

Before this.

[He calls it down like it's obvious, taking the rude epithet in stride.]

[1797]

...You and Itadori really are a lot alike.

[This is super rich coming from Ren, also an Everlight and also reckless, but he's still connecting the dots.]

Miss holding my hand that badly?

[I'm sorry he's like this.]

[hitokiller]

That so. But it's not exactly believin' in 'em on my end. It's more if they're there, then we've been livin' alongside them our whole lives, and that's just fine with me whether they make themselves known or not.

( people might assume how gods would act and even claim to be acting in their place when they carry out their judgment on others, he knows from firsthand experience, but to actually see something is to believe in it for izou. or, at least, that's how he interprets it. simple and straightforward.

izou then considers her response on his previous confession for a few seconds before stepping past her, still a bit shaky on his feet despite coming this far, taking care not to tread on any of her new appendages in case they chose to stray out of the water. it's just more comfortable for her to face away from him as he removes and folds his jacket, followed by the sound of him sliding his shirt to peel it up and over his head. maybe she'll make fun of him for it, given that they had previously embraced with his naked chest exposed, but stripping in front of someone felt even more personal... stripping in front of someone opened him to scrutiny, and there's nothing he hates more than that.

and look, i know that technically all he needs to do is melt his clothing away with the technology, but this is worlds better. no one likes the feeling of damp clothing clinging to their body. )

When I said pathetic, I didn't mean when it came to caving and actually usin' one. I meant, with the one foisted on me... ( his words are still coming out coarse, and it's probably because— ) ... I went and ripped it clean out before it could finish instead of just handlin' it. Instead of puttin' up with the pain, which you were right about, and now look at me.

( he dangles his legs over the side of the pool, allowing his weight to guide him onto his feet and into the water, the sensation of it drumming against his bare skin and wavy gills a pleasant one. they perk up as he breathes deep, and god—it actually seems to be working? he puts his fingers on them again, as if to double-check, before looking up warily at ishmael and her numerous legs. )

Those things ain't got a mind of their own, do they?

[gundemn]

You look like you walked out of a comic book. [ Last time he checked, monsters and superheroes were supposed to be fictional. ] Here to save the world?

[ Bakugou would be right to detect sarcasm behind Elan's cheerful front. Though there is a part of him that's genuinely intrigued. He's still coming to terms with the idea of superpowers just casually existing in other worlds. Maybe that explains why everyone else is more gung-ho about this kaiju fighting business than him. ]

Lead the way, brave hero.

Re: 02;

[gundemn]

[ Elan's bird's-eye view of the battle yielded some interesting observations. Firstly, the monsters seem to be inexplicably converging on the medical ship. Can these guys smell blood or something? Secondly, Outsiders wielded some weird-ass powers. He won't ask what's going on with Ren's ever-changing array of companions, he's simply glad to see them slicing their way through kaiju. ]

Nope, but you've got a tidal wave coming your way.

[ So, good news and bad news! Elan throttles his mobile suit forward, diving for the yacht. ]

You and your buddy had better hold on!

[ He means the persona. ]

[gundemn]

[ Elan returns the smile easily enough. Though the other boy says nothing of it, he's noticed his cough. ]

Did you catch a cold?

[ He wouldn't be surprised. The seawater is freezing this time of year, and the tsunamis had given most everyone a thorough soak. Another reason to be grateful to his mobile suit, though gratitude is the last thing he wants to feel towards it. He shakes his head and clicks his tongue. ]

And they sent you out here anyway! Synthia is a real slavedriver.

calm after

[gundemn]

[ Elan's exhaustion is more mental than physical. Apart from a bruise or two sustained when an orca decided to use his mobile suit as a chew toy, he'd escaped relatively unharmed. Then again, he'd fought with self-preservation in mind.

He's trudging back to his assigned room when he comes across a familiar figure in the common area. Yuji looks pretty banged up, and that gash on his leg is still bleeding. He could be sleeping or unconscious, either way it didn't seem right to leave him there. Coming over, Elan shakes his shoulder to wake him up. ]

You should get yourself to the med bay.

[thundercrashes]

[Hey, its only fair when you decided to address him as "Sawblade Hair" here...]

I think you heard me well enough. Unless your explosions have caused you to go deaf or something...

[Is this really the time for petty gripes at one another...

However, he doesn't tell Bakugou to fuck off or that he can't tell us what to do. Manjoume does in fact take his words seriously and turns his attention to the ballista, attempting to begin reeling the harpoon back in. It's not particularly as easy as firing it, now with a heavy deadweight speared through the harpoon at the end, but he assumes that Bakugou will have that particular issue taken care of here in a moment...]

[gundemn]

[ Maybe after a good dose of character development. This just sounds like madness to him, even if he sees a bunch of others launching themselves at the monster like it's just another day in the life. ]

Aren't you a writer? [ Since when were authors gunning to do battle? ] You've got some imagination, but even if you take out one of its eyes, it's got ten others. And how do you plan to get out of there?

[ He can drop her easily enough but seriously, real life doesn't work like the novels. ]

[wheft]

You could use the spear like a javelin. Although that also depends on the material used, and the air currents that could help in throwing...

[ ahem. sorry, she can be a nerd when it comes to these things. ]

Well, never mind about that. At least this doesn't seem like your first time fighting a monster like that. [ is it? ]

[wheft]

...Yes.

[ she sounds slightly bewildered there as her voice trails off. her E.G.O works the same way but instead of summoning the entity in question, she becomes the entity itself if her sanity is pushed to the brink. how come this guy doesn't have that drawback? ]

But this is no time to compare abilities. Maybe. [ she needs to see what else he's capable of, though. especially when their thing is a lot more alike than she thought? hurray for jungian psychology! (she doesn't know who carl jung is) ] There's three more at nine o'clock. Can you take them down with your weapon and... your friend at the same time?

[yuwon]

[ her statement about her transformation, has his eyes naturally studying her fish tail before focusing back to her face. "stuck" is kind of a distressing word, but knowing how the tech in this world seemed prone to issues (or have a pesky ai system in place), it doesn't exactly surprise him. ]

How long has it been this way? [ he figures it never hurt to acquire more information, even if he doubts that this would actually help either of them. but, outside of that, it wouldn't be a lie to say he had some personal interest, if just due to his personal state. which, she also seems to have caught onto.

naturally, expressing any kind of vulnerability was never his go-to, and so he seems to be biding his time before he actually speaks up. ] I can't explain it, but you smell. [ crying at this, but bear with me. but, realizing his words are misleading (does this count as self-reflection? improvement?)

but, he then does add: ] I don't hate it. No, it might be the opposite. [ which, he's come to believe, if there is something off, it probably isn't just him but something in their environment. but, if she's unaffected then. ]

[yuwon]

[ the limb twitching beneath his fingers is a little intriguing. to be honest, while the tower was full of mysteries, actual technological advances like these were far between. it kind of reminds him of something one would see on a superhero show. he supposed it's kind of like when he likened the stone in the once cap of invisibility to an infin*ty stone.

but, he obviously doesn't express any of this. instead, he just seems to cock his head to the side as he draws his hand back. ] So you can still feel sensations, too. [ it really was interesting. he wasn't sure what he expected, but this was definitely better than he thought. ]

I'm assuming you tested it then? [ not that he'd judge if he hadn't. to be honest, there were certain things that could only truly be tested in the heat of battle, and despite all his careful planning, it isn't like he isn't accustomed to having to adjust on the fly. ]

[yuwon]

[ no... don't think his kink is tentacles...

even if it definitely seems this way right now.

despite comprehending that her tentacles were... a part of her current form and an extension of what would have been her legs, it still surprises him that they move with a mind of their own. but, his pondering doesn't necessarily last for long as he does exactly as she suggests. he gives the appendage a firm yank. finally freeing her from the sides of the pool. now, the struggle was keeping it that way.

he holds it, as if... it was going to escape from his grasp. but, while it is within his hold, he can't help but to stare. his mind still feels a bit muddled from the ocean gems' effects and so he tries to stop from really thinking. maybe that's the only real solution here. ]

Should I help you wipe the chlorine off? [ he thought about rinsing them, but was there a way to do that without also then getting stuck in the shower. real thoughts... was he normally this attentive? maybe in some ways, but this might be the first time he was really looking after someone's comfort. ]

[wheft]

[ well, that's one way of dealing with the baby orcas without taken them on yourself. they cry out as they're fried to a crisp, some of them sliding out of the boat and into the frigid seas while the others lay dead on deck. only ishmael is left alive, and she's not happy about it.

except, she stops for a moment, mouth agape. kafka's honeyed words seem to reach her, though it's unclear if it's because the other woman can just Do That or ishmael is close to reverting back to normal. most likely the latter, because her form wavers a moment like static before the entire thing melts - hide and anchor-tongue and glowsticks and all - and reveals an ishmael with normal legs and all. she's unsteady on her feet and is about to fall over before she keeps herself supported with an anchor that she manifested from nowhere. ]

Wh-- Kafka...

[ she blinks wildly, hand coming up to grip her forehead. ugh, fucking WAW E.G.Os. ]

I didn't hurt you too much, did I...?

[yuwon]

[ honestly, while he knows what's going on for the most part, it feels as if there is a clear disconnect somewhere, and even he becomes aware that it likely was internal. or in his head. but, he doesn't exactly want to think it through. with sensation still present, he does little to stop her.

his feet move automatically, somehow managing to match her pace before he's seated. his gaze still seems a bit unsteady, but he releases a sigh as he places a hand lightly on her elbow, as if to tell her he was fine. but, he misgauges a bit, placing it closer to her forearm.

he doesn't confirm or deny her words. it could be that he can't, but it'd be a lie to state that even his current state that he couldn't assess her as being objectively attractive. (why are webtoon protags like this... describes her as beautiful in his mind three different ways).

now that he's sitting, he does feel a bit better. or maybe it's just that he's not as concentrated on standing up. while there are some questions on the tip of his tongue, he decides not to ask them. it didn't exactly help him to display any weakness. no, he gets the feeling even now, he'd rather not do that. ]

Fine. But, are you qualified to be playing doctor? [ lol.

honestly, it wasn't important to him if she was, but ... sometimes you have to sprinkle a bit of difficulty in. ]

[wheft]

[ ishmael pauses and so do her tentacles, though one of them unceremoniously drops one of the pans on the counter - so no, she doesn't have complete control over these guys yet. oh, it's one of the boys from brimstone that she hasn't touched base yet. ]

Nonsense is right. But I guess it could be worse. [ she shrugs. ] At least we could walk around with these.

[ the poor guys who are stuck with tailfins had to flop around or some shit, rip ]

You planning to cook, too?

[plagiarists]

Aww, you're worried about me.

[ Can she rile him up into just dropping her without care? Let's find out. ]

You must really, really, really like me. Are you scared that I'm going to die and leave you behind in this cold, strange world?

[ Her theatrical tone is a little over the top. ]

[the_fourteenth]

Oh. I suppose we are...?

[They absolutely are. It's no surprise the two are best friends already.

Who has time to get flustered when there are kaiju to fight? This kid, apparently, since his face turns red.]

I-I didn't have much choice in how it operates, I'm afraid.

[Because he wishes it worked literally any other way.]

[the_fourteenth]

[Raidou wasn't exactly thrilled about taking the gem, but he's not famous for his good decisions. Whatever he can do to help he'll do, and this seemed like his best bet in this fight.

He looks out into the water to make sure that whatever slapped him this far didn't decide to follow immediately. Not yet. He's also feeling very lucky to not only be caught, be having been able to hold on to his trident through that. He gives Yuwon a nod.]

No, I'm okay. [He thinks.] I can, sure.

[cranekin]

(He turns the blade just slightly to let Aki see better. Masterfully crafted and in excellent condition, some say he's one of the most beautiful swords in the country. It's a blade that not many people get to see in person. This is definitely something that should maybe be in a museum.)

A towel would be nice.

(A hospital blanket isn't the most absorbant material in the world.)

But I already feel better!

(And he winks.)

[cranekin]

(What had he been told before? All of this works with healing touch. He lets go of Raidou's hand to try and break off as much of a connection as he can,)

That place is no good. (And he's going to try to pick himself up. His legs are wobbly like he has to find his sea legs all over again.) They're trained to take care of humans.

[cranekin]

In a sense.

(Something like a cold. Really, it's a curious consequence of his condition...)

Don't worry, don't worry. (He coughs again,) You could say... I took on more water than I should have.

I can rest later.

(Because besides his cough and a dull ache all around, he's well enough.)

How did you do?

(During the battle?)

[frostfist]

[ With all that meat on him, is it any wonder the Shachimon are flocking to him?

Just kidding, but yeah, this whole thing is kind of a pain. Not that Wriothesley expected anything less after the grueling simulations Seok Dang had put them through, but it's even more apparent when faced with the onslaught in reality.

His focus narrows the longer he fights, his mind automatically dividing everything in his field of vision into two categories: things that need to be destroyed, and things that need to be saved. The Shachimon fall into the former, and Ren, streaked with blood and seawater, falls into the latter.

It's difficult forcing his way through the pile even with copious use of both ice and his upgraded gauntlets, and Wriothlesy honestly looks little better as he slowly battles his way over, a grim frown on his face. ]

Tough, huh?

[ He's talking about the kaiju, though it wouldn't be wrong to assume he's talking about Ren still upright and holding strong despite the chunks that have been taken out of him. ]

[nutkick]

Devil, for sure. [ an equally snappy answer before they separate in battle. for someone who experienced the sinister nature of devils, someone who's living it right now, he can reassure everyone on this mission that they are dealing with the lesser evil. then again, even denji knew this couldn't be it. there are other kaijus that are fated to carry a bigger threat, but so far the creatures before him seemed motivated by the urge to destroy. they rely on their strength and less on their craft, while devils tend to scheme, wait in the shadows, intelligent enough to find the ideal manner of breaking your soul before going in for a kill. the control devil is among them, sharing smiles and delights with everyone— conniving. it might take weeks, months, or even years. it doesn't matter; their lifespan is eternal and they will wait. kaijus ... or at least these orca-lookalikes are simpleminded for an equally simpleminded fellow. denji does not mind this one bit; it's kill or be killed.

bakugou has a plan. he was hoping for it so he wouldn't bother himself by thinking, and it was forward enough not to encourage any questions so he nodded in muted agreement. go for the legs, got it. the medic was guided to safety, or pushed to be exact, and that's when denji chose not to look back. if anyone else is stupid enough to step out and get caught in the mess, it's not his problem anymore. he was told to close his eyes, unsure why, but he played along. perhaps the hero is unaware of this tiny fact, but closing your eyes does fucking nothing! it was so bright- ... denji is almost certain this is exactly what it feels like to stare directly at the sun. even when it wasn't aimed at him, he was still blinded for a hot second.

fucking hell, that sucked. those fishes are up for a treat.

it hindered their approach as they lost focus of their prey, trying to grab into them blindly without any success. that's when denji's chainsaws escalated in stamina, loud, almost too loud, and he aimed for their legs; blades slashing through their skin and bones in a precise cut. as one blundered to the ground, denji got on top and shoved both his chainsaws right through the thick skull and what followed is a majestic blood bath. light steam started seeping out of the now open wound; the daggers of his chainsaws spinning so fast it was almost seething, spitting small pieces of flesh as they dug deeper, covering him in red from head to toe. that didn't stop the kaiju from rebelling, even under all the pain it managed to strike denji with its back claws, hoping to kill the half-devil before he did. denji didn't dodge it, he didn't stop either— it's fine. stab him all you want. it won't end until he splits that fucker's head into two.

it's strange— but even when he lacked human features, one might almost see denji smiling through it all.

the second kaiju is coming for him, but that's fine. he's not alone. bakugou is here. ]
