"This should be easy enough. I'll just freeze the whole building." Shouto huffed.
"I'm sure it won't be that easy Todoroki." Tenki sighed as he and Shouto got to their places near the fake nuclear weapon. "Besides, as villains we need to do more than just keep the heroes away remember. If you freeze the building you could render our missile ineffective."
"Oh, I see your point." Shouto hummed. For a few split seconds it would seem that the half-and-half haired boy was taken aback by Tenki's leadership skills.
"Here soon Kirishima and Sero are going to come in, and we have no idea what they have planned. Obviously we both can't stay here and both can't intercept the heroes." Tenki put his chin in his hand and closed his eyes to think.
"So then we need to decide on who will stay here and who will keep the heroes away…" Shouto commented.
"Right." Tenki moved his hand away to nod, "We both know that you're the better fighter and it will most likely be you that they expect to attack. With your freezing you can keep the room under lock down. I know I'm not the strongest kid in class, but I know how to handle myself in a fight. If anything I can stall the heroes and at most keep one pinned down."
"You're a pretty hard thinker aren't you." Shouto cracked a very small smile, "I'll trust your plan. If anything keep Kirishima out of here, he'd be the one that could more easily face off against my ice." Tenki gulped at the though of going to pin Eijirou, but he knew he had to do this.
"Alright. If something happens let me know. I'll try to position myself on the floor above. Give the call and I'll come right down." Tenki pointed to the ceiling and smiled. Shouto nodded and then looked down to a device in his hand.
"Are five minutes are pretty much up. Go on." Shouto warned.
"Got it. Let's do this." Tenki gave a little salute before running out of the room. Tenki went through the building at a fast walking pace; not wanting to alert Kirishima or Sero with any hard running footsteps. Sometimes it was good to be floaty, there was less of a presence. Tenki halted in his movements once he heard the heroes.
"Geez, is it just me or are things eerily quiet. You'd think Todoroki would have frozen the building or something to keep us away." Eijirou's voice came from the opposite side of the wall that Tenki was besides.
"Props to being unpredictable I guess." Hanta sighed. Tenki chuckled to himself; he was glad his call on stopping Shouto earlier was a good one. Taking a chance Tenki stuck his head through the wall. He was just behind the pair of heroes and their conversation became easier to hear.
"I'm just waiting for Koizumi to pop out of a wall or something. Who knows what he can do." Eijirou muttered.
"What could he do? You saw his physical test scores, he couldn't fight us." Hanta scoffed.
"You didn't see him during the exam did you? He broke the robots from inside out. He doesn't need to be strong physically to do damage." Eijirou huffed back at his partner.
"Oh snap. I didn't think about that." Hanta frowned and grew tense.
"Man were wasting time, we need to get downstairs quick." Eijirou shook his head and stared at the floor. Tenki figured now was a good time to jump in; he didn't want Eijirou to try and push his way through the floor or something of that manner.
"Hello there heroes." Tenki hummed as he came all the way out of the wall.
"Ah! You were right about him coming out of a wall Kirishima." Hanta squeaked as he got into a fighting stance.
"We both can't fight him Sero! One of us needs to get the nuclear weapon." Eijirou warned as he too dropped into a fighting stance.
"Then you go Kirishima, you'd be able to fight Todoroki better than me." Hanta muttered.
"Enough of your babbling." Tenki hissed in the darkest way he could mutter. They wanted him to be a villain, he was going to play his part the best he could. It was evident that Eijirou and Hanta were caught off guard by Tenki's attitude, and said faux-villain used this as a chance to get in close. He ran right up to the boys, but as the heroes went to defend themselves, Tenki flew through the floor.
"What?" Hanta gasped. But Eijirou noted that Tenki's hand was still visible, it was like he was holding on…
"Sero move!" Eijirou tried to warn, but it was to late. One of Tenki's arms came back up from the floor and nabbed Hanta by the leg. The poor boy flew right onto his face, and when Tenki came back up, his torso and above were right through Hanta's own body.
"Are you going to run now?" Tenki questioned towards Eijirou.
"Dude, that's so cool." Eijirou muttered under his breath as his eyes frantically moved around the hallway. Losing his tough villain exterior, Tenki shifted his eyes nervously between Eijirou and Hanta. Taking a risk, Tenki went back through the floor, freeing Hanta. For the split second Tenki was through the floor, he shouted at Shouto.
"I can't keep them both but I've fazed them! I'm letting Sero go free and going for Kirishima now!" Tenki warned before going back up. When back through into hallway, Hanta was already on his feet and clutching at his chest.
"Getting cold feet villain?" Eijirou chuckled and smiled brightly at Tenki.
"No. All is going as planned." Tenki hissed through his teeth and took a small glance back at Hanta.
"Pay attention to me!" Eijirou suddenly shouts and jumps at Tenki; his Quirk activated. Tenki had to jump back and he squeaked as the floor dented and crumbled slightly. With Eijirou now the center of attention, Hanta shot out a line of tape and zipped away.
"You realize I could easily slip through the floor and cut off Sero right?" Tenki questions as he readjusts his stance.
"But you won't, because you're going to have to deal with me." Eijirou grins and balls his hands into fists.
"Fair point." Tenki can't help but smile back. At that Eijirou charged. Tenki easily let him pass through, but made sure to take the other by the wrist so he wouldn't just keep running.
"Ah!" Eijirou hissed as his momentum made the sudden jerk from his wrist hurt. Tenki then did his best to pull Eijirou with him, just enough so that they were pulling against one another.
"You're pretty solid aren't you." Tenki huffed. Eijirou only laughed and started to really pull. Tenki smirked and with Eijirou's pulling he turned to push and it caused the redhead to fall back. With Eijirou on the floor and Tenki flopped onto top of him, Tenki went for the pin. He slipped his hands through Eijirou's and the floor, solidifying his fingers to grip at material in the floor, and Tenki did a similar action for his feet and Eijirou's ankles.
"That feels so weird." Eijirou winced as he tried to move his arms.
"Now you stay down." Tenki huffed, "And I'm sure my partner has taken care of your's." At that Eijirou growled and stopped struggling. The boys were now just staring at one another. The longer the staring went the more Tenki started to flush. He was taking in Eijirou's fairly long eyelashes, the little scar over his right eye, and red looking eyes.
"Hey there's pink in your goggles just like your glasses. That's cute." Eijirou randomly commented. Tenki squeaked and tried not to lose his focus.
"Shut it!" He then hissed Eijirou.
"I think you can stop with the act." Eijirou chuckled, "Besides your much cooler when you act like yourself." Tenki was full on blush now. He was slipping up now, his body starting to tremble as he tried to keep his Quirk activated. Then out of the blue, Eijirou head butted Tenki! With a shout, Tenki rolled off of Eijirou.
"Oh that's gonna leave a mark. Sorry Koizumi!" Eijirou yelped before he stood up. But before he could run off, there was a buzzer that went off.
"End! Villains win!" All Might's voice rang through the building. Tenki smiled and let his body relax. He and Shouto did it!
