Ryu: Backstory (Skipable information)
"I'm sorry Ryuji," a soft voice said, dropping a piece of paper on his table. "You have failed all of the tests. Don't worry though, you get to go home today."
The young blond kid glanced up at his teacher, tilting his head at her words. "I get to go home? But I have only been here an hour!"
The woman sighed, her eyes twinkling with pity. "We just had you come in today to do some tests to see how we can help you. We don't normally do this, but we are going to recommend to your parents that you are taken out of school."
Ryuji kept his head down as he was escorted out of the room, unable to fully grasp the meaning of her words. The hallways were dark, a result of a poweroutage. He wasn't paying attention to that. All he could think about was how he failed the first grade.
Ryu
The moment the energy clashed, one thought erupted in his mind. She can block that?! he thought as he watched both attacks dissipate. The second the energy was gone, fiery stakes priced his body, skewering his limbs and torso. "Ugh!"
He summoned up what little strength he had, channeling all of his ki into his body to destroy the fire, similar to how his own ki was canceled out by her fire. Then, he redirected the flow of ki to his legs, preparing to make the leap as ordered.
Parker
Oh godamn it, Parker thought as he saw that girl lift an elephant over her head. However, this kind of attack made it much easier to follow through with the plan. He held his arms in front of him, forming an X block. Then, his arms blended together, morphing into a shield. Even with his shield up, he could feel a sharp sting run through his body as the elephant threw him into a nearby building. If the girl was looking carefully, she would see one or two men jump up from weird hiding spots in the store and run out of the way.
Meanwhile, Parker transformed part of his shield into a spring and used it to shoot himself off of the rounded skin of the elephants back, allowing him to get out of the way of the giant creature before the elephant could sandwich him between a wall and its enormous mass. Of course, he still hit a wall, but it hurt a lot less.
Jones
Honestly, he expected elites, not whatever these sadistic creatures were. However, the plan was worth executing all the same, though he knew it would not work to the same effect. He turned on a video feed in his head, recording everything he saw. He had fashioned all of the men who were here with radio comminiction devices linked directly to his system, allowing him to communicate with them easily. If it got really bad, he also had a line straight to the boss.
As the pirate made his way into the sky, men lined up on the rooftops, rpgs hoisted over their shoulders. Of course, these were not ordinary rpgs, but enchanted ones, enhanced with the boss's magic. Not only did they hit way harder than a regular rpg, but the wielder could steer the missiles with their minds. All it took was one command for them to fire.
"Now," Jones ordered.
A hail of rockets came down from the rooftop, littering the air above them with deadly missiles. Around 60% were aimed at and around the woman who attacked Ryu, while the 40% went towards the girl who attacked Parker. Knowing full well that the obvious tactic was to destroy the missiles, Jones also prepared another surprise. He hacked a facility that is working on self driving cars. By working through the accounts of the top employees, he managed to gain remote access to those cars, linking their driving system to his mind. They were already on their way, intending to come from the side where there was no car barrier just as the rpgs struck the ground. Over a dozen cars would fill the streets, making it impossible to dodge by staying on the ground.
The original purpose of the car barrier was to give the self driving cars something to crash into. However, they ruined that plan when they broke through the barrier. Ah well, a bit more property damage isn't the end of the world.
With all of that done, he turned to the pirate. "Hello again," he said with a smile and a wave. "I am relived you listened. If you hadn't, this entire plan would have fallen apart. The boss told me to trust you here, so I did."
