Chapter 7: Battle at USJ!
'What!? What!? WHAT!?' Was the only thing I could think as I fell down. It felt like I was being tossed around in the air by an invisible force, my only sights being blurs of colours. 'I'm falling! Which means I'm gonna hit the ground! Tuck and roll!'
I curled into myself and braced for an inevitable impact, feeling my knees hit against something hard I violently rolled forward until I came to a stop face-down, only to have a strong force push against me. 'This is...wind? Very strong wind!'
I quickly looked around at where I was. All I could see skywise was a giant metal dome that curved overhead, whilst my surroundings were replicas of ruined buildings and twisted trees and roads. The wind constantly blowing caused dust to swirl around everywhere.
'I must've gotten teleported.' I hurriedly thought. 'This has to be one of those two domes I saw. If all of the areas are based off of disasters, then this must be...hurricane damage? The Hurricane Zone?'
I heard a sudden scuffle behind me, and I whipped around to see a lanky guy with a red mohawk wearing a black tank top and baggy army green pants with boots. But the worst thing was that black scythes were extending out of his wrists.
"Well well well, another little brat." He grinned. "I'll cut you up for sure!"
Realising the situation I was in, I rolled out of the way as he sliced through the rock behind me like butter, quickly picking myself up and running forward, shielding my face from the wind and debris.
'Villains are in the different Zones as well!?' I thought as I ran. 'He said 'another little brat', does that mean there are more then me here?'
My train of thought came screeching to a halt as two more figures emerged in front of me. The guy on the right of me had his left forearm bulging like popeye whilst having a shaggy brown beard and a bald head wearing a leather jacket and matching jeans with hiking boots. The guy coming at me from the left was dark skinned, and had mud dripping from all over his body, with a long tongue sticking out as he wore baggy black shorts with matching tap shoes, and a flamboyant bright pink jacket with sparkles all over it.
I dove to the side to avoid them, looking back I saw the bald Villain have the bulge in his forearm move down to his hand, before shooting out of his palm as an iron ball, whilst the sparkly shirt Villain had drenched the area I was previously in in mud, seemingly unaffected by the constantly blowing wind.
'There's more then one of them!? This is really bad!' I continued to run whilst thinking.
Suddenly, I was pulled to the ground and had a hand clamped around my mouth, instantly making me struggle against it. "Hey, hey! Relax!" A familiar voice whispered to me. I looked up and saw some spiky black hair and big lips.
"Rikidou!" A gasped quietly as he released me from his grip. "You're here too?"
"Yeah, I remember falling in here, then those Villains attacked me." He told me. "Plus, I'm not the only one." He jabbed a thumb over his shoulder to a girl peering around the edge.
"Yoshi!" I said, making her turn to me.
"You're alive. I'm glad you weren't killed." She told me honestly. "There are four of them, and there's three of us, and its very windy in here."
"We haven't been able to find anybody else, so we can only assume its just us three and them." Rikidou told me.
I peered over the rock we were behind, shielding my eyes from the wind, as I saw the fourth Villain; a tall, lanky guy with wild shaggy white hair wearing shades, a zip-up green jumper, torn jeans and metal boots. The bad thing was that I saw him shoot a red laser out of his mouth, exploding a nearby rock which we could've been behind!
"Okay, this is bad." I mumbled. "We're trapped in here with a bunch of strong Villains."
"Our options are limited, and we're in great danger..." Yoshi thought aloud. "This is not in our favour."
"There you are!" We all whipped our heads around to see the bald guy aiming his arm at us.
'Crap! He spotted us!' I thought in a panic as he shot a cannonball out of his palm, when Yoshi jumped in front of us! "Yoshi! Look out!"
She remained still however, as her mouth opened up wide and she ATE the cannonball!
"...Eh!?" I cried out in shock.
"C'mon! We need to move!" Rikidou pulled me into a run as Yoshi also followed, going against the wind.
"You punks!" The fourth Villain fired his laser, but Yoshi once again opened her mouth very wide and SWALLOWED A LASER without looking bothered at all!
"Yoshi, how are you doing that!?" I had to ask.
"I'm eating them." I almost tripped and faceplanted the ground from the literalness of her response.
"No, I mean...what is your Quirk, and how does it work?" I asked as coherently as possible whilst caught in the middle of giant winds, running away from bloodthirsty Villains.
"Oh. My Quirk is Consume, I can ingest anything without getting sick and staying thin, and can puke out. I can store up to 60 liters in my stomach, and digest things in 20 minutes." She replied.
'So overly descriptive!' I thought. 'Also...she can puke at will?' I shuddered as that image involuntarily entered my head.
"Not really puke, more kind of spit up." She added, as if reading my mind.
"Ah...thank you." I cried softly, before we skidded behind a rock as Yoshi ate another cannonball.
"Look! There's the exit door!" Rikidou pointed towards a large, double sided steel door.
"Quickly! Grab each side!" I yelled as we ran over, with Rikidou pulling one side, whilst me and Yoshi pulled the other.
"It...won't budge!" Rikidou grunted.
"The Villains obviously must have locked it to trap us in here." Yoshi said.
"Too true, little lady!" We all looked up to see scythe wrists falling down towards us through the wind!
"Move!" I pushed Yoshi along as we narrowly avoided being sliced in two.
'I have to do something!' Thinking quickly, I put my forefinger and ring finger together on my hand, pulling them apart to have some stretchy gum connect them, forming a catapult. I quickly made a sharp piece of candy corn in my other hand (The shapes are similar! Don't judge me!) And I aimed behind us and fired, hitting him in the eye.
"Gah! You little bastard!" He shouted, clutching his eyes in pain.
"There they are!" The rest of the Villains charged towards us. I aimed and fired another candy corn, but it got swept away halfway there.
'The wind is too strong! Weak ranged attacks won't work!' I realised as we lespt out of the way of another laser, forcing me to divert from Rikidou and Yoshi and hide behind a rock, whilst they went behind a fake building. 'If I keep resorting to weak strategies like this, I'll never become stronger! Think, think, brain!' I instintively shielded myself as a cannonball smashed a rock far too close to me, luckily though, that gave me an idea.
Coating my hand in taffy, I shot a long, thick glob of it and stuck it to a nearby rock, pulling it as taut as possible. 'Now, pull!' Putting all my strength into my arm, and relying on the elasticity of the taffy, the rock was pulled forward by the release of potential energy (Yes, I did science) and the rock flew over my head, making sure I released the taffy's stickiness as it went so that it didn't bounce back to me with a yo-yo effect.
"Watch it!" The Villains junped away as the large rock smashed into the center. I took the chance and ran over to the broken building, regrouping with Rikidou and Yoshi.
"That was both very brave and very stupid, and also kind of smart. You're kind of a mix of all of that." Yoshi told me.
"...Thank you?" I replied uncertainly.
"That's it!" Rikidou then beamed. "Ueno, you make candy, don't you?"
"Yeah." I replied.
"Quick! Make as much candy as possible!" He told me. "My Quirk, Sugar Rush, allows me to turn all sugar I consume into energy! If you give me enough, I can take those guys no problem!"
"I see! Right!" I held my hands out, and pooled syrupy marshmallow, chocolate, peanut butter and gummy into my hand, before reforming them into bars, twizzlers, cakes and pieces. "Here, use these!"
"Thanks!" He nodded as he began wolfing them down, almost instantly bulking up and gaining a confident smirk. "Alright! Leave this to me! Uuuuraaaaagggghhhh!" He charged out into the strong winds as me and Yoshi looked on after him.
"He perked up quick." She observed.
"There's that big one!" The bald guy said before shooting a cannonball at Rikidou, but he simply bat it away with the back of his hand. "What!?"
Rikidou threw a downwards punch, causing a giant impact explosion that sent the Villains flying. Another red laser was fired towards him, but he simply crossed his arms to block it, and only got burned slightly, before he jumped forward and punched him in the gut, sending him crashing back.
"How dare you!?" The scythe guy leapt at him from behind, but he turned around and grabbed the left scythe, before crushing it in his grip, and elbowing him in the face, making him sprawl across thr ground.
"Go, Rikidou!" I cheered, not really knowing what else to do at the moment.
"This has put us at a good advantage, if this keeps up, he'll beat them all." Yoshi stated.
Rikidou punched the bald guy across the face, making him stumble back and spit out a tooth. He went to swing at the Villain again, when suddenly a brown substance stuck itself to his arm, holding it back.
"Please, you think we wouldn't have counters against big, muscle-brained guys like you? We came here to kill All Might!" We looked over and saw that the mud guy had stuck some mud to the ground, connected to our teammates arm. "My mud will keep you trapped!"
"Damnit!" Rikidou grunted as he pulled against the mud, but to no avail, as more mud began drenching his body, until he was completely covered in it.
"Rikidou!" Me and Yoshi ran out of our hiding spot towards him.
"Back off!" Mud was flung towards us as well, but Yoshi quickly pulled out a match from a hidden pocket in her suit and struck it, before upchucking a stomachfull of oil, causing a big ball of fire to burn through the mud, only for the wind to blow it away before it hitthe Villain.
"I drank a lot of oil before we came just in case. It tastes like metallic licorice." Yoshi told me.
"I know what licorice tastes like and I highly doubt that!" I replied.
Meanwhile, the remaining Villains had gathered around Rikidou. "You cocky little punk!" The bald guy shot a cannonball into Rikidou's chest, making him cough and throw up spittle.
"This is for breaking one of my scythes!" The mohawk slashed him across the chest, making him grit his teeth in pain.
"This is what happens to upstart Heroes!" The shaggy one fired a laser straight into his face, throwing his head back and making blood dribble from his mouth.
"Get away from him!" I shouted as Yoshi spat out one of the cannonballs she swallowed earlier, forcing the Villains to back off as I grabbed Rikidou. "Rikidou! Are you okay!?"
"Guh..." He groaned. "Get outta here, guys...don't worry about me..."
"Like hell!" I tried to lift him, but he was too heavy. Thinking quickly, I shot slippery syrup from my hands, making a path back towards the building for cover.
"Get them!" Another laser was fired, and we hit the deck as an explosion erupted next to us.
"Yoshi! Help me!" We both grabbed Rikidou and slid him along the syrup, using the debris smoke as cover as we all fell behind the building, panting for air as the wind covered our tracks in dirt.
"Aaaargh! Where did they go!?" I jumped in fright as explosions began to ring out all around us. The Villains were attacking randomly to try and lure us out. "Come out! You damn kids!"
'They're still attacking, the wind is still blowing, Rikidou is injured...' I thought in a panic, sweat dripping down my forehead. 'What do we do now!?'
"We can't escape, we can't attack at range because the wind blows it away, and we can't attack up close because we are not strong enough." I looked over at Yoshi, who had her hands clenched, staring at the ground as more explosions happened closer and closer to us. "Eraserhead and No. 13 are fighting, we're the only ones here...it's only a matter of time before we're found, but there's also a strong likelihood that when we fight...we'll die." She was beginning to tremble. "I'm...I'm really scared..."
'Yoshi...' I looked at her and Rikidou. 'Of course you'd be scared...I'm scared too. We're all scared. This is a real life and death situation we have been thrown into, we could very well die...'
I looked down at my own trembling hand and clutched it. 'I'm so scared...I hate to admit it, but I'm afraid of dying! All we can do is fight them, but we're at an overwhelming disadvantage...I...I can't be a Hero yet, being so pathetic...'
I looked over at Yoshi and Rikidou, both were curled up into themselves as the sound of destruction got nearer. '...No...this isn't just about me. Yoshi and Rikidou, their lives are also on the line here!' I clenched my fists tightly. 'Maybe I can't be a Hero yet...but there is something I can do! Something I will never forget!'
I turned to them. "Yoshi! Rikidou!"
They both looked at me. "I know this situation seems dire, like there's no hope at all! But even so! You shouldn't give up! If you're on the verge of surrendering, then do the exact opposite! Don't let them intimidate you! Stand tall and proud...and...and..."
I forced the biggest, silliest grin on my face I could. "Give a big smile! And tell yourself; I'm definitely going to win!"
They both stared at me in shock. 'Right now, this is all I can do! What I want to do! Make others feel hopeful! So...I have to backup my own words!...This plan has to work!'
Keeping my big grin, I placed my hands on Rikidou's shoulders. "Rikidou! When I give the signal, aim towards me and clap your hands as hard as possible, okay?"
"Wh-Wha...? O-Okay?" He stammered.
I then smiled at Yoshi. "Yoshi! When he does that, spit up everything you can!"
"Now you're scaring me. Have you become dellusional?" She asked. "But...I'll do it!"
"Awesome!" I gave her a thumbs up. "Wish me luck!" I then ran out into the wind.
"U-Ueno! Have you gone mad!?" Rikidou yelled.
"Maybe...but he probably has a plan." Yoshi thought aloud.
'I am being SO. INCREDIBLY. STUPID right now!' I thought as I ran, keeping my smile stuck to my face.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY! YOU DUMB IDIOTS!" I shouted, most likely catching all of their attentions. "HEAR THIS! I'M...GONNA BEAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU! GOT IT!"
"You smiling little son of a bitch!" I heard the mohawk yell as he suddenly appeared behind me, making me roll away.
'1 is here...' I thought, before dodging a cannonball, a laser blast and a mudslide thanks to my quick reflexes. '2, 3, and 4 are in those directions! Got it!'
I rolled up my sleeves and bottoms, exposing my arms and legs whilst dodging more attacks. 'I've got to get this right! The perfect balance! C'mon, inner candy pot!'
"Haaaaaaaah!" I threw my arms out, sending multiple strings of chocolate taffy flying out in all directions from my limbs, sticking to anything possible.
"What!? What the hell is this!?" Mohawk yelled, his remaining scythe bound tightly.
"Get off!" Sounds like I caught the bald guy.
"Is he copying my mud!?" Got him too.
"Imp fumph foo m muth!" Good, I got the laser guy in his mouth.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!" Using all my strength, and the built up elastic power of the taffy, I pulled downward, sending all the Villains flying towards me. I ducked at the last minute, causing them all to crash head first into each other, along with being pummeled by rocks and debris that I had also picked up.
"RIKIDOU! NOW!" I shouted.
"Raaaaaahhhhhhh!" I floored myself as he clapped, causing a powerful shockwave to rip across the dome, and more importantly, dispell all the strong winds!
'Warning! Warning! Turbine Failure!' A robotic voice indicated.
"YOSHI!" I screamed, clasping my hands together, I quickly formed a marshmallow pillow and hid my face behind it.
There was a giant shout of noise as an entire wave of cannonballs, bullets, needles and even little missiles were upchucked out of her stomach, the Villains screaming in pain as they were bombarded by the sudden military-esque assault, being flung across the dome and crashing into a giant fake building, causing it to topple. Meanwhile, my body was peppered by stray fire, causing me to grit my teeth in pain, thankfully my head being protected by my marshmallow.
Finally, it stopped, and silence descended. No more wind blew, no more explosions happened. Just my own panting and rapid heartbeat echoed around my eardrums. I rolled onto my back, gulping in air as I stared up at the ceiling.
"We...we did it." I breathed in relief.
"Ueno! Ueno!" I heard Rikidou call out.
"Over here!" I sat up and waved to him and Yoshi.
"Ueno!" "Ryota!" I jumped to my feet as they ran over with big smiles on their faces.
"Th-That was amazing! You...wow!" He slapped me on the back, almost making me scream in pain, but I endured somehow.
"Ryota, I'm really glad you're okay." Yoshi nodded. "You were like a proper anime protagonist."
"Uh...heh, thanks." I laughed.
We all then heard a soft rumble, and Yoshi blinked twice. "I'm really hungry now." There was an awkward pause, until-
"...He...haha...hahahaha! Hahahaha!" I couldn't help it! I just burst out laughing!
"Hahahahahaha!" Soon, Rikidou was laughing as well.
"Seriously, I might die of hunger." That only made us laugh more. "Mm...he...I guess that is pretty funny...hehe...hahahaha!" Soon she was laughing as well.
The three of us were now laughing like a bunch of idiots, when only a few minutes ago we were fearing for our lives.
Rikidou wiped away a tear. "You, haha...y'know...w-we just took out real Villains! By ourselves!"
"We must be really strong." Yoshi figured.
"Yeah...we're strong..." I smiled to myself, happy that I was able to call myself strong.
Eventually, we all returned to the door, and I gave Rikidou some more candy to eat to boost his strength. "3, 2, 1, PULL!" We all pulled with all our strength, and eventually, the door slowly began to open, just enough so that we could all slip through.
"C'mon! Let's get out of here!" I said as we all ran out the door.
I quickly surveyed our surroundings as we ran out, discovering we were back in the center of USJ. I spotted the main group of Villains, with a new, weird looking one with a bulky frame, pitch black skin, and a brain sticking out of their head (Eww...) along with the leader with all the hands and that annoying black mist one, all fighting-Oh my god, it's All Mght! All Might's here!
I had to divert my attention in order to see Izuku carrying Aizawa-san with Asui and Minoru. "Izuku!" We quickly ran over to him.
"Ryota! You're okay!" Izuku breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, we're fine." I nodded, noticing Aizawa-san was heavily injured. "What happened to Sensei?"
"Those Villains beat him up!" Minoru panicked.
"This is still very dangerous, even with All Might now here." Yoshi observed. "Also, I'm super glad you're okay, little pervert."
"We both know that was sarcastic! Don't even joke like that!" The grape Hero wailed.
My head instinctively turned back towards the battle, as the bulky one had All Might, whilst the same black mist had surrounded them. "That...guy, is fighting on par with All Might! Just how strong is...it?" Could you blame me for having trouble deciding what to call it!?
"Asu...Ts...Tsuyu!" Izuku said. "Take Aizawa-sensei off my shoulders!"
"Sure...but why?" She asked.
My eyes widened. "Izuku! You aren't planning to-!?" It was too late, he had already run forward.
"ALL MIGHT!" He shouted as he ran, with the shadowy guy appearing in front of him.
"OUTTA THE FUCKING WAY!" Of all people, Bakugou suddenly jumped in and exploded the shadow guy out of the way! "Deku!"
"Geez! Bakugou!" I gasped as Shouto and Eijirou appeared alongside Hagane. Hagane's Hero Outfit was a black robe extending down to his knees that had two holes in the back, with a spiked chain wrapped around the waist as a belt, and a sharp, silver religious cross pinned to the left chest, whilst he also wore white strapped sandals and some kind of white pick shaped launcher on each of his wrists.
"It appears the current generation of Heroes is much stronger then we anticipated." The leader spoke whilst All Might continued to fight the big guy...I think he was called Noumu or something.
"What? Were you underestimating us or something!? I'll blow you up too!" Bakugou threatened.
"Keep HIM pinned down. That's more important then being stupidly reckless." Hagane told him, making Bakugou glare at him fiercely, but kept quiet nonetheless.
'Hagane got Bakugou to shut up!?' I thought in shock. 'How strong is he, exactly?'
The leaders eyes widened inbetween the fingers of the detached hand clutching his face. "On the contrary...we had a backup plan for you as well!"
"Ohhhhhh? You wouldn't be talking about little ol' me, would you, Tomura?" A new, highly exaggerated voice spoke behind us.
I spun around and looked up to see...a woman? I think? Maybe? I mean, the body was slender and pretty feminine looking. She (Probably) had chalk white skin and waist length spiky black hair with purple highlights in them, and she was heterochromic, her right eye was blue whilst the left was pink. She wore a unitard which was black on the left side and grey on the right, split down the middle, whilst chains coiled around her arms like snakes, ropes around her legs in the same way, and a silver wire wrapped around her waist like a belt.
"Ahhhhh! When did she get up here!?" Ochako gasped as she seemingly appeared behind them.
"Twister." Tomura spoke to her. "Help out the new generation."
"With pleasure!" She cried in an overly dramatic tone. "Here I coooooooome little pretties!" I really do not like the way she stretched out 'come'.
"Look out!" The classmates atop the platform attacked her with tape and acid and debris, but she easily slipped past all of them and appeared right in front of them!
"Let me open your eyes, my dear children!" She cooed. "Corruptive Touch!" Very quickly, she grabbed each student by the shoulder, causing them all to slump forward.
"He touched everybody, he is incredibly quick." Yoshi observed.
"Everybody!" I cried out in panic, only for them to seemingly regain consciousness. "Hey! Is everybody alright! Answer me!" For a moment, nothing happened, but then...
"Yyyyyaaaarrrrggghhhh!" Suddenly, they all began screaming!
"What is going on?" Asui thought aloud.
"Hahahaha!" Ochako laughed as she ripped the railing off using weightlessness. "This is fun!" She suddenly threw it towards us!
"Dodge!" We all jumped out of the way (Asui pulling Minoru with her tongue) as it crashed where we once stood. "Hey! What's gotten into you, Ochako!?"
"Give me your stuff! I want it!" Sero hissed as he shot some taped out of her shoulder at Yoshi, who jumped away from it.
"I hate everything! Everyone should just die!" Mina sobbed as she waved her arms frantically, shooting acid in every direction.
"It's like all of their personalities have completely changed." Yoshi noted.
"What did you do!?" I yelled up at her.
Twister smirked. "Me? My dear little man, I have freed them from the chains of their boring little lives! The world nowadays is filled to the brim with boring ideals and thoughts of good and evil. That's why, I will be the one who will change everything for the better, and make the world a beautiful, free utopia!" She posed dramatically, and rather cringingly. "My name is Twister! And my Quirk, Corruption, switches your entire personality around, and brings out the true you from within! Thus releasing you from your confining views!"
"She changed all their personalities!?" Rikidou simplified it.
"So, what? They're all evil now!?" Eijirou gasped from behind us.
"That's right." Tomura spoke. "Even if we fail in killing you, All Might, we will still be able to bring these students into the world of Villains back with us! That would look truly poor on your record, wouldn't it?"
"You-!" All Might tried to rush him, but Noumu blocked him again.
"Hey! Ochako! Snap out of it!" I yelled as she swung at me with a giant rock.
"That clearly isn't working, his Quirk is constant and strong." Yoshi said.
"There must be something we can do..." I mumbled, looking up at his smirking face. "But if we get close, we'll be affected too!"
"Aaaahhhh! We've got Villains behind us and Villains in front of us!" Minoru panicked as he ran away from Sero, which gave me an idea.
"Sorry about this, Minoru!" I apologised as I grabbed him. "Go get her!" I then full on chucked him up towards Twister.
"Eeeeehhhhhh!? What are you doing!?" He shrieked.
"Oh my! Throwing little boys at me, how kind of you!" Twisted licked her lips as her eyes glowed. "Now then, let's free you, little one."
Minoru's eyes briefly glazed over, before they fixed into an enraged state. "Ooooooaaaaaaahhhhhh!" He crashed into Twisted and immediately bit her on the head.
"Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!" She shrieked. "My beautiful hair! Getoffgetoffgetoffgetoffgetoooooooooff!"
"I thought so!" I said as I ran up towards her. "You switched Minoru's cowardly nature into an angry and brave one!"
"Oh! So his pathetic personality worked in our favour." Yoshi bluntly nodded.
"Aaaaahhhh! Fine! FINE! Let go NOW!" Her eyes glowed briefly, and Minoru's grip loosened.
"Huh? What am I...?" He mumbled.
"Oh...why am I carrything this thing...and why do I feel...ohhhh...blargh..." Ochako threw up.
"Everyone's alright again." Asui noted.
Meanwhile, Minoru slid down Twisted's body as she hurried to fix her hair, leaving him to squeeze his chest. "...Huh?" He gave it several more squeezes. "Hey!...THIS GUYS A DUDE!"
"WHAT!?" We all screamed.
"There's NOTHING! Not even a pea!" Minoru accused as he squeezed Twisted's chest more.
"Stop doing that!" Rikidou yelled.
"Aaaahhhh!" I tackled Twisted, sending Minoru flying off as I wrestled her to the ground, before quickly picking myself up before she could grab me.
"Ohhh, so many men flying towards me! I can't take it!" Now that I knew he was a guy, this just disturbed me even more.
I quickly re-made my sweet slingshot, and fired a candy corn, aiming for his eyes before he could switch anybody else, but he quickly leaned out of the way and caught it. "My, my, my, is this candy? What an adorably sweet Quirk!"
'Not enough!' I thought, running around behind him to stay out of his switching sight. 'I have to hit him harder! But how!?'
"You can't run from me, Sweetie!" He laughed, suddenly flingings his arms, sending the chains towards me and binding my arms!
"I won't let you!" I coated my arms in runny chocolate and slipped through them, making him pull his chains back and lick the chocolate off of them.
"Mm, delectable." He moaned. Our attention was momentarily diverted as All Might smashed Noumu through the roof, sending it flying off. "Oh for goodness sake! Can't a big, strong artificial human do anything right? Back me up here, Candy Boy."
I was thinking something else entirely. 'Right now, I'm the only one close to him! Everybody else is too far away to attack without falling victim to getting switched! I have to fight! Here and now! So think! What can I do!?'
"Come here, Sweetie!" He threw the chains and rope at me, and I had to run to the side to avoid being caught.
'The candy I create...I can harden it into a shape I want...' I thought as much as possible whilst dodging. 'In that case...I'll use a hard type candy, and hit him hard!' I charged forward.
"That's right, come to me, my little one!" His eyes began to glow.
'I don't have long before his gaze affects me!' I thought, already feeling my thoughts begin to waver. 'Do this right!' I clenched my right fist, as golden goop burst out, and began swirling around my fist.
"Let me free you, Sweetie!" So close...but my thoughts are darkening...I have to hold on...hold onto this one thought...of hitting him!
As I drew close, the goop finally hardened into a golden boxing glove, and I pulled back my arm as I got close to him.
"Are you going to hit me with your candy?" He asked mockingly. "That is too cute! C'mon then, Honey, let's have it."
'Punch with everything you have!' I told myself as I threw my fist forward.
"JAW BREAKER!"
My boxing glove fist smashed into his face, making it curve inward as the jawbreaker formed around my hand burst into pieces, sending him flying back and crashing against the ground as the golden pieces of candy scattered around us.
"Aaaaaarrrrrggghhhh! My face! My beautiful, gorgeous face!" He cried as he rolled around on the floor, clutching his face in pain. "Aaaaaaoooooohhhhh! Sweetie! You pack a bigger punch then I thought!" He shakily stood up, still clutching his jaw. "You're such a NAUGHTY BOY!"
"It's me! Class 1-A's President! Iida! I've returned!" We all turned to see Iida with A TON OF HEROES! It was my childhood dream come true! So many Heroes all in one place!
"Oh dear, we didn't plan for more turning up." I immediately redirected my attention back towards Twisted. "Looks like we'll have to part for now. But I promise we'll meet again my little Sweetie. Ta-ta!" He suddenly leapt towards where Tomuru and the black mist guy was, as they all seemingly disappeared.
"Ohhhhhhhh..." Knowing it was over, I collapsed into a sitting position. "Phew...I did it, Izuku, All Might." Realising that, I looked into the debris smoke, only to see Izuku, with no All Might anywhere. "Huh? Where'd he go?"
"Hey, kid?" I looked u-it's Pro Hero Snipe! With his signature 'S' hat! "You okay?"
"Y-Yes, I'm fine." I stood up and watched as the other Pro Heroes came down. I saw people like Power Loader and Cementoss, and this one woman wearing what appeared to be a white straight jacket.
"You must have a habit for being brave and stupid." Yoshi spoke behind me, making me jump.
"Ah! Yoshi!" I said in alarm.
"Your Yoshi?" Snipe said. "The one 13 recommended for Class 1-B?"
"Yes." She replied simply. "Ryota was placed in charge of evaluating me."
"That so?" He nodded, looking down at me. "Since it looks like 13 will be out for a while, I'll ask you, kid. Do you think she's Hero material?"
"Absolutely." I replied without hesitation, and a smile on my face. "Yoshi has great strengths, and can be valuable to any team, as well as looking out for others and being aware of the situation surrounding her. She'd make a great Hero."
He tipped his hat. "Good call kid. Though to be honest, Yoshi was a Class 1-B member anyway."
"Wait, what? You were?" I said.
"Sorry. Everybody lied to you." She told me flatly.
"Yeah, I heard she was already a certified member, but they were debating kicking her out since the class already had 22 members." Snipe nodded.
I thought about that for a moment. 'Why didn't Sensei honestly tell me that?...If I had declined, I would have essentially dragged her away from Yuuei myself!' I looked at Yoshi. '...Maybe its for that reason he didn't tell me. So that I didn't feel so guilty.'
"Thank you for your descriptive evaluation, Ryota." She smiled. "I hope to see you around school."
"Yeah, me too." I said, as Izuku ran over to us, and I waved towards him.
So, we had triumphed in our first battle against true Villains.
Little did we know the road only got tougher from there.
New chapter! And with this, the USJ Arc is concluded! In two chapters! Whoooo! A lot of fighting went down in this one, so I hope you all enjoyed it! This also marks the debut of Ryota's signature attack: Jaw Breaker!
Speaking of debuts, our first Villain OC appeared this chapter! Big thanks to Saint Danielle for Twisted! (Also, your second OC was hinted at in this chapter)
To omil infinity, I understand that you care, and that your native language is not english, but I still cannot forgive the lack of capitalisation, grammar, and the shortness of some sections. I'm sorry, but my decision is final.
Next chapter, we move onto the Sports Festival Arc! We're gonna have more OC's, more Quirks, and a whole lotta fighting! See you then!
