The four competitors stood together in silence, each taking in their surroundings. Dave’s knuckles managed to become even whiter as he clenched his sword with a single hand.
“Fucking typical. It’s like everything in this world just wants to fuck with me.”
Kenpachi struggled to keep his eyes off the enemy as he listened to his partner.
“Let whatever is stirring inside you be your strength.” Dave’s partner rolled his shoulders in preparation for what was to come. “Then maybe you can manage to strike as I do.”
“Tch.”
Without further ado the Shinigami stepped forward, a crooked smile spread across his face. His steps echoed within the streets far below, the concrete beneath him puffing out a cloud of dust with each resounding stomp.
“You, my friend, look like you need to fuck right off. I see that look in your eyes, the psychos would love you.” The masked man on the other end of the rooftop called out to the god of death, pulling a submachine gun out from behind his back. “Just like the Quickie here!”
A pull of the trigger let forth a stream of bullets as Handsome Jack immediately opened fire, leaving no time to allow his opponents to close the gap. It looked like these guys both wasted their time with swords, so keeping them at a gun’s distance would make this a short fight. However, the bullets that embedded themselves into Kenpachi’s chest served no purpose other than to widen his grin and fuel his adrenaline. Dave burst forwards soon after, his head down while his body trembled with a strange anxiety. His low whisper struggled to make it to the others around him.
“Nothing like a rooftop beatdown.”
Dane, unlike the rest of the participants, took in the sights quickly and began to piece a strategy together in his head. The two swordsmen would overwhelm them if they didn’t keep their distance. The hero took a defensive stance, leading back with Jack and keeping himself between his ally and his opponents. He would need to take a less direct approach to deal with these heavy hitters.
“Stay close.”
“Whatever you say, Fabio, and let’s agree to not go invisible and leave each other hanging this time, yeah?” The masked man crossed the fingers on his free hand behind him as he spoke.
“Yeah, yeah, I got it.”
Dane planted his foot into the roof, reached for his machete, and waited for his moment to strike. Kenpachi sped forward, the first to act and the first to arrive. His daunting sword came down like a guillotine threatening to cleave through the apathetic male. A thunderous CLANG resonated as Dane not only managed to block the strike but actually deflected it back, knocking the shinigami off balance. His whole body ached from stalling the behemoth of a Prime. Dave leaped off the back of his partner to somersault over Dane before rolling towards the gun-wielding trash talker.
“Woah, alright, shotty time!”
Handsome Jack announced his plans as he switched over to the One-Pump Chump. As the weapon formed in his hand, Strider burst forward, closing the gap too quickly for him to react.
“Motherfu-”
Jack winced as sparks flew across his face, Dane materialized in front of him, struggling to hold back the Knight of Time. Dave twisted Caledscratch, allowing the tip of his blade to crack. The broken sword slipped through his defenses and into Jack’s shoulder, breaking through his body shield. Dane stumbled forward and the shotgun blasted its load into Dave’s right leg, forcing a pained shout to escape Strider's lungs.
The tactful hero grumbled under his breath. There wasn’t much to keep their opponents from simply charging into them, especially with the lack of restraining abilities he and his partner had. Their foes had already pushed them to the corner of the rooftop. Kenpachi giggled maniacally as he joined in on the action, sweeping his blade at the elusive Dane.
“That was wonderful, but it’s a shame you choose to evade me now. Let me taste your blade, hero!”
“Jack, pull back and regroup!”
“No need to shout, sugartits.”
The hero dashed to the side, escaping the mad swordsman’s range while Strider caught his breath. Jack hugged the edge of the rooftop as they attempted to gain some ground, their foes following close behind. Dane teleported to Dave, landing a brutal lifting kick to his gut. The teenager gasped before reaching down, turning his momentum back and slamming his good leg back into Dane’s chest.
“Just like bro.”
The hero recoiled towards his partner, startled by the kid’s seemingly instinctual response. He had underestimated the kid. Dane rolled back on his feet and rushed to Jack, a new plan in motion.
“Jump!”
“What? Fuck no!”
With a shove from Dane, they vaulted over the edge while Jack attempted to wrestle away from his partner. Dane looked back at the glass panes of the building, staring past them before they suddenly found themselves inside a cubicle office.
“Ugh, my head. Tell me next time you do that, alright Fabio?”
“Fucking typical. It’s like everything in this world just wants to fuck with me.”
Kenpachi struggled to keep his eyes off the enemy as he listened to his partner.
“Let whatever is stirring inside you be your strength.” Dave’s partner rolled his shoulders in preparation for what was to come. “Then maybe you can manage to strike as I do.”

Quote:Kenpachi is coming, so keep running.
HJ used the Quickie.
Dane used Break a Leg to stop Kenpachi in his tracks.
Dave used them acrobatics.
Dane saved Jack with a teleport, but Caledscratch's shitty design won out, hitting Jack.
Jack still got his One-Pump Chump shot out on Dave's leg.
Kenpachi still looming over everyone.
Dane teleport attacked Dave, but he is no stranger to rooftop battles, and managed to hit back.
Dane faked out with the Mass Teleport and brought the duo two floors below, into some offices.
Some burst movement in between all of that.
