Brockton Bay
It was just a normal start of the weekend for Brockton Bay. As civilians avoided the obviously upset tinker, making his way throughout the city block.
"Damn it Mouse! Did you really have to make the condiment gauntlet explode too!?" Foodfight complained as he examined the now busted gauntlet, which was currently leaking ketchup that strangely sparkles.
"How am I supposed to get more of that crystal stuff now, that the Oathbound took it all. Damn hoarders." FoodFight grumbled.
Meanwhile in a second story building nearby, a teenager was looking at the dejected tinker as he walked into an alleyway through a pair of binoculars.
Putting down the binoculars, the teenager reaches for his phone to text his friends. The ones from the Panda Gang.
I think we found a good way to get into the graces of Michael and Jun - Kyo
Dude we been over this, just because they met Nexus doesn't mean they can get us to meet her- Ryan
I'm listening. And it better be better than trying to collect any of those stray crystals.- Dylan
I don't want to explain to my parents why I lost my other eyebrow- Dylan
Well tough shit then, because we need to talk to Josh about it - Kyo
Kyo sighed before examining the paper talisman he's been making over the week. On the talisman is a circle with 3 scythe-like blades within it and a Japanese Kanji for fire on the center.
I think I need some of it, the fire one especially - Kyo
Kyo, why do we need more of that stuff - Ryan
Kyo. No, I refuse to loss anymore of my hair- Dylan
Come on! If we take out this guy, I'm sure we can - Kyo
"Kyo! Come on, it's almost time for your evening lessons!" Kyo's mother exclaimed from the other side of the door.
"In a minute, I'm talking to some of my friends!" Kyo shouted back.
I'll tell you guys the plan in the morning, meet me at Rico's pizzeria. - Kyo
Fine, but you are paying - Dylan.
Kyo texted goodbye before he started looking for his gi.

Rico's Pizzeria
The three friends sat on one side of the table with a short but built teen on the opposite end.
"So," Josh started, "You guys need the flame crystals but you need it powdered." He then points to Kyo, "So he can make a fire starting glove."
Ryan, a tall but lanky teen, shrugs and nonchalantly points at Kyo. "He usually comes up with the plans and he's the only one who knows how to fight out of all of us."
Dylan, a former member of the school's track team. "Hey! I know how to fight too!' He crosses his arms.
"Just because you know how to throw a kick doesn't make you the best fighter. Smartass." Ryan replied, leaning back into the booth they were all in.
"Look," Kyo started bringing attention to him, instead of his friends, "We just need some powdered dust, I only need enough to last ten minutes." Kyo put his head down and arms over, "Please, we need this to prove ourselves to the Panda Gang."
Josh looked down at Kyo, then looked at Ryan and Dylan who both threw their arms up as if to say 'yes he does this often and yes it is embarrassing still'.
Josh put a finger to his chin and began to ponder, as their food arrived. Just as the friends were about to begin their meal. Josh clears his throat and says, "Alright I'll give you the dust."
Before the group of friends could say anything, Josh held up a finger, "IF you guys give me the credit of supplying the stuff and introduce me to Trainwreck." Josh stated.
The three friends looked towards each other before nodding their heads and saying "Deal!" All at once.

Random Alleyway
Food Fight rummaged inside a particularly full dumpster.
"Score! Half eaten burger!" Food Fight exclaims. "The bun would go great with the pickle smasher." He looked to his back where a pickle made the head of a hammer.
"I just need to find something that would provide a good electricity conductor." Food Fight taped the burger to his cheeks as he tried to think of what to use.
"How about a rice cooker!" Shouted a new voice.
FoodFight snapped his finger and turned to thank the new voice only to see a trio of semi-masked teens.
Among them he sees a teen wearing a white bandana with eye holes cut out wearing what seems to be a black gi ensemble with white padded gloves. Another teenager is wearing a football helmet along with football pads as armor, with the last remaining teen wearing a bandana with generic symbols, a baseball hat, and sunglasses.
"Are you serious?" Food Fight asks, "I know that I'm considered a joke, but do you really think a couple of teens with no powers can beat me?" He discarded the half eaten burger and pulled from his hip a can of cheese whiz in a modified paste squeezer.
"Don't underestimate us!" Shouted the properly dressed teen. Weight shifted towards the teens legs before he charged towards the tinker.
Food Fight scoffed before shooting a mound of liquid cheese towards the teen. Seeing the yellow goo escaping the squeezers nozzle the approaching teen he swiped his arm in response causing a symbol to glow. Fire immediately bursted towards the cheese soon after causing it to harden and fall into pieces.
"What the-!" Food Fight shouted, the teen continued his charge while taking advantage of the newly made opening he raised his leg above the villain's head before swiping it down. Seeing the ax kick coming, Food Fight raised his arm to block the attack, dropping the cheese gun in the process. The baseball cap wearing teen rushed in to grab the fallen weapon before retreating to his compantroiat.
"You're mine!" The masked teen shouted as he continued his assault. Throwing two kicks towards the villains knees. Food Fight feebly tried to block the attack before a fist slammed to the side. The fist began to glow, Food Fight's eyes widened before a burst of flames ignited separating the two fighters.
"How do you like that!" The masked teen shouted waving his hand whilst sparks of flames seemed to echo around the glove.
"Hmmp," Foodfight scoffed, slightly singed from the flame. "So you figure out about the crystal too huh." Reaching for his left side he pulled out a pineapple and began to toss it up in the air and back. "But I know that they are in short supply. Meaning you only have so much of that."
The masked teen clicked his tongue. "That may be true but I don't need it all to beat a loser like you."
Food Fight stopped tossing the pineapple up and down before narrowing his eyes. Rolling the pineapple towards the masked teen, he couldn't help but look down at the fruit. The pineapple's hair suddenly began to spark before quickly rushing down the stem. Adrenaline rushed through the masked teen before he rolled towards his allies, the pineapple exploding into an acidic mist with the dumpster decaying soon after.
"You know." A silhouette of the villain stood from the other side of the mist. "It's been a while since I had a good old fashioned back alley brawl." As the mist starts to dissipate the sounds like the squelching of fruits rang to their ears. "I was never the strongest, but I knew a good dirty trick or two." The mist dissipated revealing Food Fight with durians on both his fists.
He slammed them together, causing the fruits to spark momentarily. "So, are you ready to fight the Juking Jester?" Rushing towards the teenager whilst swiping his arm. Kyo shifted his body away from the prickly fruit just as another was following through.
Reacting quickly, Kyo raised his arm towards the villain's behind the fruit. Causing the arm to knock the villain's arm to be knocked off course.
Just as Kyo was about to retaliate with an attack of his own, he felt his gut pricked by the villain's follow up strike. The prickly fist raised to the air as Kyo's feet skidded on the ground, thankful he was close enough for the attack to not cause much damage.
Raising his fist, Food Fight readied to punch overhead with a haymaker, unbeknownst to him however as he took a step back a stream of liquid cheese flowed past Kyo, creating distance between the two fighters. Kyo snuck a thumbs up from behind, Food Fight scowled unaware of the signal before holding up his arms in preparation to block. His eyes soon widened in surprise as Kyo suddenly whipped his hands in motion, two foot tall lines of fire approached him. Food Fight stepped back further in the alleyway to avoid the flames that continuously approached him, his back hitting a wall just before the flames could reach him.
Kyo charged towards Food Fight as soon as the flames began to dissipate, raising his arm the teenager clenched his hand to slam the villain with the side of his fist. Food Fight saw the telegraphed attack from a mile away, throwing his own obvious strike to the left of Kyo's skull only to quickly throw a hidden punch to the right of his gut. The durian covered fist slammed into Kyo, forcing the teenager to gasp for air as he flew back a few feet before collapsing to his knees. Not willing to let go of his advantage, Food Fight rushed to deliver a few blows towards the teen.
Raising one of his legs, Food Fight prepared to crush the teenager, only for one of his friends to jump in with a drop kick, the pair of soles forcing Food Fight to land against the wall. Meanwhile the other friend, who picked up the cheese gun, helped Kyo back up. Kyo lets out a dry cough as the villain slowly tries to rise up with a hand on his head. Weakly pounding his fist on the ground, three symbols of a scythe head surround the still recovering Food Fight.
"Ah shit." Food Fight said before pillars of fire trapped him in with a wall on the other side.
The three teens look to each with relief as the villain is trapped on the other side of them. "Should we call the PRT now?" Asked the teen with the baseball cap and sunglasses.
"Why them? We can just haul him into the Heap and meet Oathbound directly!" The armored one says excitedly. "Guys focus." Said the gi clad teen. "He is just on the other side of the fire. He can still hear us." Kyo narrowed his eyes at the silhouette of the villain.
"Shit, shit, shit." Food Fight mumbled underneath his breath as the fire blazed in front of him. He manages to pry one of the durians off his fist and grabs a vial from his belt. He pours the liquid on the fruit on the ground before kicking it toward the fire which explodes with a watery torrent.
The teen prepares themselves for the next round. Ripping off the other durian Food Fight threw it at the cap wearing teen. Before the projectile could hit, the armored teen turns around to cover him. The durian smashed into the back of the football helmet knocking him unconscious, leaving a dent in the helmet, and causing the armored teen to collapse on the other one.
Kyo took a stance against Food Fight who in turn reached behind his back for a giant pickle on a stick, appropriately named the Pickle Smasher. Before he could fully draw the weapon out, Kyo rushed towards Food Fight, the villain raising a single handed guard in response. Jumping towards the wall, Kyo sprang off of it preparing to kick Food Fight's neck.
The villain felt a sharp sense of pain impact his arm before throwing it to the side, readying his Pickle Smasher to swing towards the seemingly defenseless boy.
Seeing the staff of the weapon, Kyo's eyes widened momentarily before whipping out both of his arms towards the villain. A stream of fire immediately pushed the teen back just as the weighted pickle grazed his gi. With but a moment to act, Food Fight twisted his body before the oncoming flames as they singed the back of his costume.
Twisting back, he observed Kyo sliding to another stance. Rather than run towards the villain this time, Kyo set his glowing arms behind him. A burst of fire ignited shortly after before the villain could swing his weapon, Kyo's knee impacting the villain's stomach.
Food Fight dropped his Pickle Smasher in an attempt to grab the teen. Only for him to launch himself back with his rocket-like hands. Clicking his tongue, Food fight reached for something more built to deal with speedy opponents. The Celery Cutter.
Kyo tilted his head towards the newly revealed bladed vegetable, Celery for the blade with a cookie as the handguard. If it wasn't made out of modified bit's of food he might have mistaken it for a katana.
Food Fight retracted his blade horizontally behind him. Taking his chances, Kyo proceeded to burst forward the villain once more. His eyes widened as the blade swung to his direction, managing to cut bits of his hair as he attempted to rotate his body out of the blade's path before planting his feet towards the villain.
Pushing back, the villain merely skidded to the wall behind him. Kyo observes the gap on his gi's sleeve before looking back towards the villain retracting his blade back behind him. Kyo's soles planted itself to the ground once more.
A mental picture began to form on his head, an image of a short blade, yet wide forming out of his fist. 'I just need to focus' Kyo took a deep breath. 'I got this' Small fires begin to ignite in front of Kyo's hands before turning into a small but steady stream of fire. Observing the terrain around him, he noticed the fallen Pickle Smasher on the floor. Sprints towards Food Fight, who was trying to steady his remaining condiment gauntlet at the teen.
Kyo then kicks up the fallen Pickle Smasher to hip height before grabbing and throwing the weapon towards the villain. The head of the weapon smashing into his hand. The echoing crunch of broken finger bones rang between the two fighters' ears as Food Fight tried to muffle a scream. Dropping the celery katana.
Random condiments start to shoot out of the gauntlet as the five triggers are continuously being pulled. Mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, syrup, and honey all spew out as Food Fight's arm flails around in pain. Taking the opportunity, Kyo charges in. Crouching before cutting most of the gauntlet apart.
Down a hand but still having motion in his arm, Food Fight threw an elbow at Kyo in the face. The strike broke his nose, causing him to stumble back a few feet whilst he held a hand to his face to stop the bleeding. Kyo glared before turning on a leg and with a switch of the hip, throwing a sidekick straight into Food Fight's knee causing it to buckle. The villain falters just as Kyo throws his hands down dispelling the flame punch dagger. Bursting behind the villain he puts Food Fight he grabs hold of his arm around the villain's neck in a headlock.
Food Fight reached behind the teen, grabbing him by the gi belt and tossing him toward the ground. Air knocked out of his lungs as Kyo is slammed into the ground. Food Fight goes to kick the fallen teen only for him to throw his hand up creating a blast of fire causing the villain to retreat. Kyo got up breathing heavily, his opponent doing the same.
Taking in a deep breath, he rushed towards Food Fight once again, who in response activated his bread armor, the Crusty Champion. Kyo, seeing this, starts to lay fire on his fist before raining blows on Food Fight. With a jab and hook that Kyo throws out, Food Fight found himself on the back foot. Barely able to escape the physical force with a few burns.
The villain reached for his back once more, noticing the distance it took for his hand to find something he clicked his tongue. Retracting the weapon revealed an oversized Chinese lettuce, the Lettuce Waver.
"What's the matter? Are you getting desperate there old man?"
Ignoring the teen's taunt, the villain threw the tip of the weapon to the ground before quickly waving it towards the teen. A nauseous aroma entered Kyo's nostrils as the teen winced in disgust, the teen barely noticing the broken eggshells on the ground.
Seeing an opportunity, the villain charged towards the teen. Noticing the villain speeding towards him, Kyo immediately pointed his hand to the ground before propelling himself to the air momentarily. Though he landed on his feet, the flames threw him higher than he expected from the gas in the air.
Clicking his tongue, Kyo began to visualize the fire on his hand once more. An intense burning fire echoed to his mind as a burst of blue flames mimicked his imagination. Bursting a shot towards the leafy lettuce, the projectile flew right through the weapon.
Seeing Food Fight gawking at the searing hole in his weapon, Kyo began to pepper more holes in the lettuce. With the fourth hole appearing near the base of the handle, with the hole nearing where the weakest holding point of the makeshift bansho fan, the leaf fell off the stem of the vegetable.
The villain squinted his eyes, teeth grinding in frustration at the boy. He stomped his foot in aggravation only to flinch in pain as it was the buckled knee. Getting more mad that he can't even show his anger, Food Fight throws the remainder of the leaf at Kyo. Kyo responded by flinging his hand towards the makeshift projectile, sending another miniature blue fire ball to knock the handle out of the way.
Fury overtook the villain's sense of reasoning as he began to reach for a garlic bomb, only for it to set off prematurly at his face. Large pepperoni rings flew towards the boy only for it to be intercepted, a pair of radishes tied together shot apart by the stems. A squash quickly found itself with a sear on the center before sidestepped. An egg scorched by the unforgiving blu-
"Oh crap."
A large explosion rang towards the boy's ears. A foul odor entered his nostrils, having the teen jerk in disgust. The bright light blinded him for a few seconds, only to feel someone brush past him.
Prying open his eyes, Kyo attempted to see past the teary vision of the silhouette. But only managed to catch a glimpse of the figure right as it turned right outside the alley. Kyo was about to give chase when he heard the groans of his companions. He turned around to see them leaning their backs against the wall with the armored teen still unconscious.
"This is not the last time you've seen me! Random bandana wearing kid in an admittedly cool looking gi and friends!"
Kyo, still squinting, hears the noise. "Seriously? Why are you still here?" He replies.
"That's what I want you to think! For you see, I have planted my signature stereo oysters around to taunt you! Now leave me or I shall taunt you a second time!"
It took some looking around, but Kyo managed to spot an open oyster with a stereo speaker in the top half. Kyo snaps his fingers towards the oyster, but nothing happens. Kyo repeatedly snaps his finger but not even a spark comes out. "God damn it. And he forced a Monty Python joke in his getaway line…" Kyo grumbled. He proceeded to grab the oyster and flung it towards the rooftop. "There, someone else's problem now." Kyo says, wiping his hands together. He turns towards his friends, and tries to help them back up.
