Steamer's POV
"What did you do?!" Haumea stormed in.
"Why hello to you too, nice to see you how are you today." I sighed looking over "Why thanks woman I adore so much I'm quite well and how are you this morning?"
"Don't start with me." She growled.
"What's got you so bent out of shape?" I asked standing up.
"You screwed up." She said.
"What are you talking about?" I asked "I don't screw up."
"That 8th division, they're investigating a location we had in another district, a location you were supposed to keep secret." She said.
"I did, I told you I can only do my best I can't guarantee everything." I explained "And with Hoshimiya making such a public fool of himself and exposing so much they had a Commander's meeting and are now looking for the Evangelist he spoke of and the White Clad people that killed him, I don't know how much you expect me to keep them in the dark, I can't just go killing a whole Special Fire Brigade that's even more suspicious."
"Well you need to make sure they get the message that sniffing around for more about us and Infernals is dangerous." She pouted and poked my chest "They're in Asakusa, put a team together and get rid of a few of them, that should make the point clear."
"Fine I'll handle it for you." I said grabbing her wrist.
"Just what do you think you're doing manhandling me like some piece of meat." She sneered "Hehehe you're cute when you get pissed off."
"And you're cute when you're making a scene pushing people's buttons." I said "But keep your humor in check before it brings up trouble."
"I'm not worried I know you'll take care of anything that causes me trouble." She hugged my arm "Cause that's what you do, you always do and you always will do, isn't that right? You'll do anything for me won't you? Rob for me, fight for me…Kill for me?"
I ran my hand through my hair "Yes Haumea, whatever you need I'll be there."
"Good, very good." She smiled her sinister smile and licked her lips "Now go take care of business and maybe I'll reward you when you get back."
I took off my shirt and opened the closet nearby, I strapped on a belt and then a long trench coat like jacket that clipped around my chest only and stayed open around my stomach.
"I'll be looking forward to it then." I took a drink from a water bottle on my desk "I'll be in touch with an update soon enough."
"Talk soon don't be a stranger." She waved as I left "Try not to make it too messy."
"Yeah I'll try, by the way some of my contacts out on the streets are saying that a lot of people are starting to prepare for the worst with the frequency of the Infernals showing up, tell your people to slow down a little would ya." I sighed.
"Finding or creating the other pillars is too important to wait on." She said "There's no other option."
I shook my head "Fine."
LATER
I quickly assembled a team to go make a mess in Asakusa, again I used Arrow but this time I also brought Haran, a tattooed White-Clad, and Yona a freak with the artistic and fire ability to remold bodies and faces as needed, perfect for infiltration.
"Try not to stand out so much." I told Yona "Benimaru the Captain of the 7th is notoriously strong, I'd like to avoid getting into a fight with him if we can."
"What is your plan?" Arrow asked.
"There are two brigades here, the 8th and the 7th, picking a fight two on one would be stupid." I said "We need to convince them to fight each other, Yona take care of it."
"Since when do you get to order me around?" he huffed.
"Since I got told to handle this job." I looked back "You two go get what you need from the safehouse here, we'll start the show tonight."
I sent them all off and looked down from a roof "This place is such a peaceful country side village…shame it'll be half ash come morning."
LATER
"Did it work?" I asked Arrow.
"They've begun fighting." She said "Shall we start the next phase."
I nodded and picked up my walkie talkie "Do it, raise whatever hell you can undercover."
I then jumped down into the street "Arrow you're with me we need to deal with the 8th. Let the bugs do what they will maybe we'll get lucky and find another chosen one and I can get Haumea and Ritsu off my back about it. Start firing we need to draw them out. Separate the kid."
She nodded and a bow of flames appeared around her hand, an arrow of fire flying off towards the area the 8th was waiting. They had a member who could repel and reshape flames with her controlling ability
Arrow let off a few more shots until she finally clipped the flying kid's ankle and he crashed into a roof.
"Well long time no see!" I grabbed his collar as he tried to recover and threw him down onto the street "I've been looking for you."
I quickly dropped him and jumped back when a plasma sword nearly took my head off.
"Ah man it was almost easy." I sighed "Haran!"
The next member of our team dropped in and tried to stab them both with a knife but missed, they stumbled back and deflected another shot from Arrow with the sword only to have the follow up explode in their face.
"If you want to deflect them, I'll just make them explode." She said.
"Get off me!" the two boys, one with flaming feet and the other blonde with a plasma sword seemed more focused on bickering with each other than fighting us off.
"I really hate dealing with kids." I sighed taking a drink from the bottle on my belt.
I threw my jacket off "I'm done playing with you!"
Sweat built up on my arm and sizzled into steam.
"Elbow Engine!" I threw a punch my arms slamming through the air like a rocket "I missed-AH!"
I got kicked in the back and growled.
"Fine be that way." I pushed my hair back with my hands and looked up.
I was already sweating more; steam was appearing around me. My powers are simple in that they're heat control, flames build up in my stomach and pours and that makes me boil, my body has internal heat and uses it like a steam engine, increasing the thrust for combat with marital arts and combat techniques.
Unfortunately, all that sweat takes a lot of water and energy, it's tiring to use my powers and makes my internal temperature rise naturally so I'm warmer than most people.
"Alright show me what you got!" I said letting off a blast of steam around me.
