The fight between Katsuki and Izuku was epic, even more-so when Scythe had rigged up the cameras to play audio. The class started to see Izuku in a new light. Scythe was watching as Izuku was being transported to Recovery Girl's clinic.
All Might's weird grin stayed on his face no matter what, and the Pro-Hero makes his way back to the class.
"Young Iida, you were the MVP of that match." All Might says, to Tenya's shock.
'M-me?" The engine-student asks. All Might nods.
"INDEED!" The hero shouts, "Can anyone tell why?" Momo Yaoyorozu raises her hand. "Yes!"
"Iida was the only one who understood and followed the point of the lesson. Bakugo abandoned his teammate to follow a personal vendetta and unleashed an explosive attack that damaged the building, counterproductive if he was trying to protect a bomb." The Creation Girl starts. "Midoriya may have been MVP had he not injured himself so severely and damaged the building as much as he did. Uraraka let down her guard and was reckless concerning the bomb during that last attack. Had it been a real bomb and not paper mache they may have regarded the situation differently. Iida showed preparation for his enemy, foresight, and fought to protect the bomb, which is why he wasn't expecting that last attack. The hero team won only because they took advantage of the fact that this is training, the basically cheated." All Might was sweatdropping.
"She said more than I thought she would!" The hero thinks. He then sees Scythe's hand up. "Yes Scythe?" The hero says, honestly confused.
"With all due respect Yaoyorozu, a bit of what you said is wrong. One, that's the whole point of this, is to realize that this is training, if we tried to make this as realistically as possible I'd be using rubber rounds or real bullets instead of my paintball version of my weapons." The soldier says, walking forwards. "Also, the explosive device is supposed to be a nuclear bomb, correct?" All Might nods. "So then, I'm assuming that the Villains most likely stole one from the military, because it would be completely stupid to assume that they made one themselves. Now, Yaoyorozu, I don't mean to be rude, and I certainly don't wish to offend you, but a nuclear bomb cannot go off from little lovetaps like that last attack had." Momo raises an eyebrow. "A nuclear bomb forces Nuclear Fission in a radioactive isotope and accelerates the process exponentially until it explodes. However, a nuke isn't impact triggered like other bombs. If it was, then Iida moving the bomb around at the speeds he was would have set it off. Instead, in order for a nuke to go off, every single safety must be primed and disengaged. Otherwise it won't go off." Scythe stares up at All Might. "You should know better All Might, we worked together six years ago in the exact situation." All Might winces. Scythe sighs. "Let's move and reset for the next team." All Might nods and the class moves to a new building. All Might reaches into his box.
"TEAM C IS THE VILLAINS!" The hero shouts, and Momo and Minata nod. "TEAM K IS HEROES." Scythe loads his pistol. "VILLAINS! YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES!" Momo and Minata run into the building while Scythe leans against the building. The soldier closes his eyes and mentally prepares himself.
"Alright, first thing's first. Find the bomb, and discover their defenses. I saw clearly what Minata's Quirk can do, so I'll need to check walls, floors, and ceilings. However, his perverted nature may distract him." The soldier thinks. "Yaoyorozu is an unknown. I don't know her quirk. I know she's smart, so she most likely did something along the lines of barricading or ambush, they also may try to surround me." Scythe shrugs. "I'll figure it out." He mutters.
"HERO TEAM! START!" All Might shouts. Scythe grins as his drone begins to spin.
"Faraday System activate." The soldier says, and the drone slams into the ground and begins to morph and expand. Scythe removes his sunglasses and helmet and places a green visor across his face. "Recon drones, activate." Several small drones pop out of the larger one, and begin flying around, entering the building through air vents and doorways. Scythe flips through the cameras on each of them, until after a few minutes, he finds what he's looking for. "Sixth floor, middle room, barricaded with both on the defense." The soldier smirks as the recon drones return to Faraday. "I have some breaching charges in my ruck." He looks over as the Faraday drone projects a 3D image of the building. "I'll breach from the floor above, pop some smoke, and nab the bomb in the chaos." Scythe nods. "Faraday, mobilize." Faraday returns to its original form and begins to float around the soldier's head. "Faraday, remain here." The drone makes a few sounds and Scythe climbs up the fire escape. Entering the seventh floor extremely quietly, and moves across the floor with his rifle drawn, much like a professional soldier, which he was. The visor he had was a heads up display which was giving a current position of the bomb. Scythe arrives above the room, and smirks. Pulling out breaching charges from his bag, he makes a square of them in the center of the room, he then readies some smoke grenades as he blows the charges.
Team C
Momo smirked. She couldn't wait to see that soldier try and get through her defenses. Stretching out, she ignores Minata's perverted stare. She leans back at the ten minute mark when suddenly the roof caves in.
"SHIT!" Minata shouts. Momo was coughing, trying to keep the dust out of her lungs when two grenades fly through the new hole in the ceiling. The entire room was covered in thick smoke, so thick that Momo couldn't see. She hears a thud, and the next sound was All Might shouting.
"HERO TEAM WINNSSSSSSSSS!" The pro shouts. A few seconds later, the smoke clears to reveal Scythe leaning against the bomb with what she assumes is a smirk on his face. Momo was in shock, before smiling.
"Looks like I've been outsmarted." She says, a grin on her face as she walks towards the soldier. Scythe lowers the balaclava and grins a roguish grin at her.
"Not outsmarted, just didn't prepare enough." He says, "You had a good plan, bar the doors and make sure they don't breach the walls, but you didn't think the ceiling, mostly because everyone didn't want to crush you, but that drone in the vent." A small recon drone flies out of the nearby vent. "Told me your exact location so I didn't hurt you." He grins as he heads towards the door, Momo following him and removing her barricade. "I just have more combat and real world experience, plus months and years of special forces training." The three students make their way to the entrance. "Faraday, follow." The lone recon drone flies into the Faraday drone and the large drone begins to follow him around. "I'm assuming your quirk is creation?" Momo nods. "I'm assuming you can't create firearms beyond old muzzle loading cannons." Momo flushes but nods again. "I'll take apart my pistol in the observation room, run you through everything if you'd like?"
"I'd like that." The Creation Girl says. Scythe grins. Momo thinks for a second. "What was in that package earlier today?" Scythe grins.
"Just something for an old injury." The soldier replies. Perhaps one day I'll reveal it, but not today." Momo nods. The two, and Minata, who was ignored, made their way to the class. They enter the room, to find All Might towering over them, uncomfortably close.
"CONGRADULATIONS SCYHTE!" The Pro shouts. Momo and Minata wince while Scythe deadpans at All Might.
"Bit too close there AM." The soldier sighs. All Might blinks and backs up. "Scythe was MVP! I saw a complete and organized operation down to the letter." Scythe nods. All Might picks the next teams while Scythe and Momo fall back to the back of the room. "If I could ask for a table? It'll be helpful." Momo does so, and Scythe takes out his FN 47 and begins to disassemble it, all while telling Momo where each part goes and what its function is.
-Later that day-
Scythe and Momo were still talking, around halfway through Hero Basic Training Momo had gotten tired with Scythe calling her by her last name, partly because she could tell with was weird for him and partly because it was hard for him to pronounce, so she just told him to call her Momo. Scythe was talking to here when Izuku returned to the room, his arm in a sling. Scythe grins and waves, and Izuku nods to him.
"Where's Kacchan?" Izuku asks. Ochaco tells him that Katsuki already left, and Izuku runs out. Scythe sighs.
"Momo, I'd better go make sure Bakugo doesn't kill Izuku," The soldier says, Momo nods and Scythe grabs his stuff and he heads out. Taking his time, Scythe finds Izuku and All Might by the front gate. "Midoriya, ya ready to head home?" Both turn. "All Might, I assume I'll see you tomorrow?" All Might nods.
"I've actually been wondering." Izuku says. Scythe and All Might turn to the young boy. "How do you two know each other?" Scythe thinks while grinning.
"Well, I was just in basic, but we met around six years ago in the last stages of my basic." The soldier says.
FLASHBACK OF SMASHING POWERS!-
"Private Sasin!" Drill Sergeant Stevens shouts.
"Yes Drill Sergeant!" A ten year old Scythe shouts.
"You're dismissed! Hit the bunk!" Stevens shouts. Scythe nods and begins to head out. He nears the doors to the training room when it opens.
"This here is the training room, the recruits in here are in their final stages of training." Lieutendant Evans says, showing a tall and grinning man in a red and blue costume around. Scythe stares up at the man's glowing blue eyes while the tall man stares down at him. "Private Sasin, meet Pro-Hero All Might." Scythe nods to him. "All Might, Private Scythe Sasin."
"You wanna move? You're in my way and I've just been allowed some sleep after forty-eight hours." Scythe grunts. All Might moves out of Scythe's way. "Thank you." The ten year old walks past, but turns. "I look forward to working with a pro, assuming you've been brought here for an op." He takes one last look at All Might, before walking off to the bunks.
-Flashback ends.-
Scythe and All Might chuckle. "I was pretty rude back then, but in my defense I didn't get much sleep." All Might slaps Scythe's back and sends the soldier flying into the entrance gate. Izuku laughs as Scythe sighs. "I'm heading home! See y'all tomorrow!" Both wave as Scythe exits the school, the setting sun at his back.
And another chappie out! I promise All Might's and Scythe's op from six years ago will be explained, but give it time!
I hope this chapter is up to par, I've been kinda run down with work and haven't had much time. Hopefully this was good!
As always, reviews are good! Constructive criticism is welcome! Got any questions, I'll answer them within reason, no spoilers though!
EMERALD NIGHT signing off!
