The Proximation of Hello and Goodbye

He feels the grip around his arm tighten and pull, catapulting him through the wall. He braces his body for the impact, trying to keep damage to his body and the building to a minimum, although he's only successful on one of those fronts. His eyes crack open to the sight of a large hole in the wall, the two masked figures approaching him slowly. He huffs, pulling himself to his feet. First, I need to confirm their identities. I can't just go into this blindly. He jumps to his feet, charging toward the pair. At the last minute, he slides to the ground kicking the feet out from beneath one of them on his way past them. He immediately pivots and swings a leg up and behind him, knocking the other onto the ground as well. He manages to take the mask off of the second one he knocked down to see a complete stranger underneath, one with silver hair and bewildered purple eyes. He sighs with relief, trying to turn around to discover the identity of the second culprit, only to be met with a wall of flames. No denying it, that's Shoto. He jumps back, tripping over the silver-haired stranger behind him on his way back. "Dammit," he mutters, wiping the sweat from his face.

He lunges forward, his hand stretched out. "Stun grenade!" he shouts as a blinding beam of light shoots forth from his palm. The person he's convinced himself to be Shoto stumbles backward away from the light. He charges forward, his goal to incapacitate his friend quickly and painlessly so he can focus on the other one properly. His hand latches onto his mask pulling it away as the other one clutches to the collar of his shirt. He uses a blast to propel him midair and launch Shoto to the other side of the building. He watches as his body crumples, sliding down the wall. Please stay down , he urges inwardly, turning to focus his attention on the other person.

By the time he turns to find the other one, he's already working on dragging a thrashing Ena to the front. Katsuki growls, "Get your hands off of her! Give up now or I'll kill you!" His voice is filled with menace as his fists clench at his sides.

The person tilts their head, smirking. "And, who are you exactly? The doting boyfriend?"

"Heh. I'm worse, I'm the friend she can't seem to get rid of!" He shouts, charging full force towards his adversary. He gets knocked back and through the front glass of the windows into the buildings across the street from the store. Rubble falls on top of him in an instant, effectively trapping him. It doesn't last long as he quickly blasts it all away. Blood trickles from the top of his head into his eyes. He wipes it away with haste, trying to gain his composure. His vision hones in enough to see the other person knock Ena upside her head, making her effectively unconscious.

No more messing around. This bastard's gotta go down. Cover be damned, if he's going to give this his all, I will too. He blasts forward, throttling himself toward his friend and his enemy. He grabs onto his face and keeps moving back, knocking his enemy into the equipment behind him. "Think you're so powerful, huh? Don't go getting an ego because I didn't give you an ounce of energy before. Now, I'm serious," he laughs. He throttles his fist down, landing an effective hit on the man beneath him. A shield falls into place preventing him from landing another. "I hope you've got something better up your sleeve than that!"

He grasps onto his enemy's wrist with one hand and propels them through the roof with the other. "I've wasted enough time on you. It's time to end this!" he declares proudly as they shoot toward the sky. He quickly shoves the stranger away from him before propelling himself further up and flying back down, landing a kick in the center of his chest. The force sends the man plummeting toward the ground, but he wants to ensure that he won't move. He begins to move in a circular motion, creating a tornado around him in preparation for the upcoming explosion. He gets closer to his target and blasts off with a massive explosion, unleashing the power of his Howitzer Impact, shooting his adversary to the ground in an instant. He falls the rest of the way, moving so that he can land safely. Upon coming back in contact with the ground, he's met with an unconscious enemy as well as two unconscious friends.
