monster hunting. (this is so late...)

[cosmarchy]

[ The city is tense tonight.

The streetlights cast pools of light across empty sidewalks, while the air hums faintly with the unnatural energy radiating from the massive gate in the distance. It's been there for days now, a towering distortion in reality, shimmering like glass about to shatter. An S-Rank classification. Too dangerous for most, but that's exactly why he's here.

Jinwoo stands at the edge of the cordoned zone, dressed in a dark outfit that blends with the night. His expression is calm, unreadable, though his eyes fix on the swirling gate with a steady weight. For others, this gate is a looming catastrophe. For him, it's an opportunity— and a challenge. He flexes his fingers, feeling the familiar surge of shadow energy stirring at his command when he finally takes a step forward. The guards stationed nearby barely register his presence; they know his reputation, so they won't interfere.

Jinwoo has every intention of handling this dungeon alone as he's always done. The Hunter's Association barely bothers with holding him back, and his guild doesn't care all that much either, as long as he succeeds. Yet, before he can enter, a sound behind him cuts through the silence. Light footsteps, deliberate but not hostile. He narrows his eyes, his senses extending outward.

Someone has been tailing him since the start.

He doesn't turn immediately. Instead, he allows the presence to draw closer, his entire stature remaining relaxed but now closely guarded. It takes a while before he finally speaks in a low, even tone. ]

You've been trailing me since I left headquarters. [ He doesn't bother looking back. ] Are you planning to enter this gate too?

[ The night air grows heavier, charged with the tension of an encounter yet to unfold. The S-Rank gate looms before him, promising danger within. And now, an unknown companion— or rather, a familiar rival might shift things around. Maybe his presence will make things a little bit more interesting too. ]

[Another damn gate. How many times do these things have to get smashed before they realize showing up here is a quick death? Streetlights pass overhead in a quiet alternating beam, illuminating the orange and silver accents of his outfit while soaking into the majority black covering and green on his hands and forearms. Might not be subtle stealth mission wear, but he can handle that on his own. A dark hood hangs behind his head for now, mouth and nose nigh-hidden behind the tall collar of his top. Outfitted for his usual mission when dealing with the gates. Even now he can feel its energy rippling in the air, buzzing across the surface of his skin beneath his clothes. Tch... What a pain.

Hm? He quirks a brow up, hidden mostly behind the dynamic black mask covering the upper half of his face. Someone's already here? Leaving the guards behind with little more than a glance to acknowledge them, Bakugo approaches the gate and its current visitor. He knows who the other is before he's even remotely close to aside. This bastard. Why the hell does he keep turning up at this missions? They're too damn dangerous for someone like him! Granted he doesn't give a shit if Jinwoo kicks the bucket, but not if it's gonna make his own work more troublesome! Can't have some dumbass dying on him and then people questioning him about why and how. You think he wants to field that crap?]

Haa? I wasn't fucking trailing you! I was coming to kill this damn thing! [One hand curls at his side as he cracks his knuckles with the tension alone. Red eyes narrow, not even bothering to look at Jinwoo. He's focused on the rift in front of him and the victory he's going to claim by crushing it.] And you're in my way. So move back, Blank Face! I don't need you interfering and fucking things up.

[ Jinwoo doesn't flinch at the sharpness in Bakugo's voice, too used to the other's strange nicknames and prickly nature. His focus remains on the gate instead— the roiling distortion flickering in the air like liquid glass, humming with danger. The shadows at his feet shift restlessly, as if they're all clamouring for a good fight. ]

If that's the case, then we're here for the same reason.

[ An easy answer, one that comes as no surprise. No point in telling Bakugo to go away when he'll likely do as he pleases. At least Jinwoo can respect that, considering he's planning on doing the same thing.

He takes a step towards the gate as it ripples once, its energy nearly brushing against them like static. There's no telling what awaits them on the other side, but that's no cause for concern. Jinwoo is used to dealing with the unknown, and he can count on Bakugo to know what he's doing, too. ]

I'll wait for you on the other side.

[ It's the last thing he says before finally entering the gate.

What greets him is a vast cavern with a ceiling that glows with veins of faint blue light, like lightning frozen in stone. The ground beneath his boots is rough and uneven, littered with broken weapons and skeletal remains that whisper of failed expeditions. A stale wind carries the scent of iron and decay. The oppressive mana here is suffocating, pressing against his skin as if the dungeon itself is aware of his intrusion.

Far in the distance, something moves— a shadow larger than any jagged rock formation within the cave, slow and deliberate, watching from beyond the shadows. Hm. Could that be the boss? Or something else? ]

[blastedass]

[This guy's always pissed him off. Ever since the start, showing up to fight when he wasn't strong enough to do a damn thing. The only thing Jinwoo was good for was distracting or getting in the way. Yeah, he had the guts to fight, but without power or brains, he wasn't going to last long. Bakugo was more than willing to let him get himself killed a few times, but others held Jinwoo back. Unfortunately.]

I don't need your help, idiot. [What is this, some damn team up? He could handle this gate all by himself! Sucks this guy refused to listen to anyone; even when he got knocked down, he kept getting back up, no matter how many times Bakugo told him to stay on the ground. Seeing him here ready to fight again... Who the hell does he think he is?

He heads for the gate, glaring as Jinwoo starts ahead of him.] Walk behind me, dammit!

[Why said he could go into the gate first?! Bakugo barely gives him time to move his ass through the field before he steps in after. Red eyes narrow in his mask as he scans the area suddenly made visible. Cracks of azure running through dark rock in glowing veins, ground crunching under his soles from debris both human and other dimensional. He scans over the weapons littering the ground, picking out which are too gone for any salvaging. Bakugo taps the side of his costume's collar, causing the high material to stiffen around his neck and lower face, a close-fitting ninja-like mask clasping over his nose and mouth. Filter.

He shoulders around Jinwoo, putting himself in the front.] Stay behind me. I'm don't wanna have to waste time stepping over your dead body.
