Mandalay looked at the group and frowned, 'well, while you're waiting for this Merus to answer, I still am going to tell the other pros. so, you better come along. these three can confirm my story, but it's always better to get the most accurate telling from the source itself. so, you coming or what?' Caulifla frowned, 'even after Cabba's warning, you still want to tell the others, despite the fact that panic will follow?' Mandalay nodded, 'just the teachers and my teammates. now, let's go.' and with that said, the group walked back toward the camp. Mandalay didn't know what her team and the teachers would say when they learned this, but they would at least know she wasn't lying to them.
back at the campsite, Mandalay brought all the students who had been present, aliens included, to a room, before going to get the teachers, including those who were teaching the remedial class to those who had failed the final exam. once everyone was gathered, she explained what she had heard from the aliens and the students about that they were fighting a war and talk about dragon balls. first, they found it hard to believe. and Jirou saying she knew something was up with them, didn't really help the case. only when Kendo and Tetsutetsu chimed in and confirmed it, backed up by Midoriya and Uraraka under permission of Jerren and Lazuli, before Lazuli also showed that she too could fly and shoot a ki blast, which Jerren caught, proving they had powers without having a quirk.
and of course, shocking just about everyone of them was; they were all adults. but Pixiebob was intrigued most of all. she rushed to Jerren's side, tapped his shoulder and asked, 'so, if you're an adult; how old are you?' Jerren looked at her and smiled, 'twenty-seven.' Pixiebob squealed, that was close to her age! Aizawa cleared his throat, 'okay, enough foolishness! now, Mandalay told us what she heard. but now you will tell us everything. about this war and about those dragon balls, as well as who you really are, mister and misses space cop!' Pixiebob looked at Jerren and Lazuli and back again a few times, before tapping Jerren's shoulder again, 'uhm, so,... what is your relationship with her?' Jerren gave her a simple and truthful answer, 'she and I are partners, as in colleagues.' Pixiebob nodded, 'okay, good, understood. uhm,... do you have a girlfriend back home perhaps?' before Jerren could answer that, mister Aizawa insisted that he would answer his question!
and so, the group began to tell about the war, starting with the Omni King, the creature that ruled the twelve universes, as well as the supreme Kai in training, Zamasu. they told them how Zamasu took over the Omni King's body, with a wish from the super dragon balls. and Zamasu's personality was much different than the childish Omni King's. he wished for the destruction of all mortals. but, as he didn't have full control of the Omni King's power, he couldn't even erase all humans on a planet, well; at least at the start. as such, he contacted the gods of the universes to learn who shared his view on things and had them recruit beings to eradicate the mortals from planets. from this point forward, some of these armies were also sent into universes who didn't want to participate. as such, other mortals started fighting back against these attacks. and thus against the Omni King.
eventually, some of the angels who were from universes fighting against the Omni King's forces contacted each other, connected the leaders and thus a universal alliance was founded. but for a whole year, both sides were losing fighters. and through that, only the Omni King Zamasu was gaining ground as he was training his power. so, onto their mission, as their forces were slowly starting to lose ground, they were sent to find possible allies who could help them in this war. but the only one they found was All-Might. and just one man against an army of people who might be almost as strong as he would not be a good idea. they further observed the potential of the students, but while they found potential, it was nothing immediate. so when Cus came and offered to train them in the ways of god ki; it was literally a gift from heaven.
around that time, the gods of universe 6, where the three Saiyans were from, got killed, but their angel send them here, where they met up with Jerren and Lazuli, joining their resistance. and from there on out, they pretty much knew what happened. except, the three wolfmen and Raven; were all send by him; the Omni King. and now they were here. the quickly explained the Namekians, original makers of the dragon balls and that there were two on their side who had made dragon balls as well; which their allies were now gathering, while the Namekians were off training. once all seven were gathered, three wishes could be made by the dragon which the dragon balls summoned. the stronger the Namekians, the stronger the dragon. and, once used, they were scattered and unusable for a year. this also went for the super dragon balls, which the Omni King was after. they also explained their theory to them that the false Omni King Zamasu would wish for the full power of the Omni King under his control. and once he had that; he could simply wipe all mortals of every planet in a universe with a wave of his hand.
all this info sounded like a lot of fantasy, but Jerren had shown his collection of six dragon balls. with all this proof, there was no denying their story. with all this news coming over them, Ragdoll, along with Kendo and Jirou were afraid, while all the others were shocked. Cabba gestured his hands at them, 'see, panic. and this is the reason why we were told not to tell anyone.' Jerren nodded, 'well, they heard us, they wanted the truth, here it is.' at this moment, there was a knock on the door, which caused Kendo, Jirou, and Uraraka to scream. Jerren walked to the door and opened it; for no one, yet he stepped back as if letting someone in, before closing the door again. as he did, Merus dropped his camouflage, shocking more people. Merus nodded, 'yeah, this is what I expected would happen, should the truth be revealed to multiple people.'
he turned around to Jerren, before tossing the seventh dragon ball to him, 'I had a feeling that, eventually, your mission would be compromised, but I had hoped it would have happened later. but that doesn't matter so much now. we face a serious threat; the worst has happened. the Omni King has obtained all the super dragon balls and wished to wield his full power. meaning we can't wish him out of existence.' everyone in the room hearing this was shocked! Kendo started shaking, while Jirou curled up into a ball in the corner and covered her ears, mumbling she wasn't hearing this. Merus continued, 'lord Rumush contacted the supreme Kai of our universe, who contacted me, to contact you. Cus is currently training the Namekians in her pocket dimension. lord Gowasu went to do something with the time rings. no idea what he plans to do with those, though likely something about Zamasu. no idea what though.'
Jerren shook his head, before feeling his own chest, placing a hand on Lazuli's and Pixiebob's shoulders, before letting go and shaking his head, 'this doesn't make sense! if he has his full power, why are all of us still here?' Merus sighed and cracked a small smile, 'the thing that happens to all those who think they have become invincible. arrogance! I suspect he wants to put on some sort of show for those who have defied him. and unfortunately; that's you guys. the ones who resisted and fought back the hardest, against Phobia, against the trio del danger, but mostly against Raven; who kept on coming back. she likely told him a whole lot. so, you guys are most likely his target, you and this planet.'
Jerren could only respond with, 'then we have to get off this planet! go somewhere, uninhabited! make a move from there, so he knows we are no longer here.' Merus sighed, 'that is very noble and were it someone just after you, it would work. but this is not someone who works like that. he wouldn't mind harming everyone on this planet, just because you were on this planet. if you left, leaving it without defense against whatever they're planning; this planet would be doomed! so, by order from the Galactic Patrol HQ; you five are to stay here, for now. the Galactic Patrol is currently gathering their forces for anything the Omni King might send.' he looked through the room, seeing the fear in the students, as well as in some of the pros. though this could also be shock.
he looked at the group of five again, before telling them, 'you have all seven dragon balls now. but, wait with using them. at least until the Namekians return tomorrow, as it is most likely a dragon that can only be summoned and wished upon in the Namekian language.' Jerren nodded and made a mental note to leave his capsule that now contained all seven dragon balls, not on his person but in his stuff. that way; should one of them be taken, even if it was him; then the dragon balls would not be lost to the others. Merus than said his goodbyes, activated his cloaking again and left the room. the room was left in shock and Cabba could see that his warning of there being panic was already coming true on the small scale.
Aizawa was the first to speak up, 'all of this is a whole lot to take in at once!' Jerren shrugged, 'well you guys wanted us to tell you everything. so we did and this is the result.' Mandalay looked at the group of five, 'so, is it a good idea to keep them here? what if the Omni King sends forces to attack?' Lazuli shrugged, 'well, then we won't hold back in defending everyone. but, in case the Omni King himself comes, which, like Merus said, is unlikely; than you don't have to worry. you won't feel any pain.' Tiger grunted, 'very comforting.' Aizawa replied, 'for now, what has been discussed in this room, stays in this room. once the training camp is over, Vlad and I will inform the other teachers. we won't tell the other students. the five of you; Midoriya, Uraraka, Kendo, Tetsutetsu and Jirou; you will keep quiet! if the others learned of this; it would likely cause a panic, which could lead to panic.' Cabba nodded; that had been what he had said.
Aizawa than looked at the Saiyans, Jerren and Lazuli, 'as for you five; you are staying as well, for now. at least until the end of the training camp. if other aliens show up; we will be needing your help to fend them off.' Jerren nodded, 'well, Merus already told us to stay, so that was what we were planning sir.' Pixiebob squealed softly; he was staying! she didn't care that he was an alien. he was an adult, powerful, handsome and single! he was nice and seemed the responsible type. maybe, once all this alien chaos had been settled; they could have a real grown-up talk.
other's weren't as happy as she was, as they were more concerned with the current situation with a possibility of aliens coming to attack their planet, just because they had been staying here. still; these five were rather powerful and could hold those aliens back. so, at this moment, keeping them was indeed the best option. Jirou stood up and, as others left the room, so did she. she wasn't too happy with this situation. yes, she now knew who and what they were; but she had not discovered it. they had said it all out loud. and they weren't villains as she had thought. thinking back on everything; she had been the one in the wrong; slightly. they had been on the side of good, they had helped her train, they had saved her life. how had she repaid their kindness; with suspicions, distrust and a growing paranoia.
mister Aizawa and Vlad King went back to their extra remedial class who had been quietly studying on their own, while Monoma had been annoying them by smack-talking them. while the pitiful idiot was in the same boat as them. the pussycats went to their own rooms, all of them needed to think all of this over. Jerren, Lazuli, the Saiyans and Midoriya and Uraraka also left, all going to their respective sleeping areas. they all hoped all things would work out for the best. the truth was out for the pros here to hear and think it over. now all they could do was keep playing their role as students until they got the order to return to base.'
meanwhile, at the edge of the forest, a group of people was gathering. two were arguing about what they were wearing and that functionality was more important than if they were cute or not. a big buff guy, a scrawny guy whose mouth was the only thing visible who wanted to get to work. a lizard man dressed as Stain, along with a guy with black hair covered in patches and a big guy hiding under a cloak. there were seven of them, but according to the group leader, they were still waiting for three more people to join their little party. the big cloaked guy didn't want to wait and wanted to cut loose but was told to stay put. the leader thought back about the mistake the league of villains had made, attacking the USJ with an army of thugs. thinking it better to use a small group of elites. with which he was referring to themselves. they were planning on taking away the sense of peace of these would-be heroes.
the next morning, everything seemed to be as normal as normal could be for the students, teachers and pros and the training was continued, though the remedial class seemed to be rather tired. which Jerren could understand. Sato, Kirishima, Kaminari and Sero had come back to the room after 2 in the morning. and the training had started at 7. but mister Aizawa did not show them any mercy. all the other students also seemed to train hard, though keeping up the pace was difficult if you were drilled to train as hard as you possibly could. well, Jerren, Lazuli and the Saiyans did hold back some, but they did focus on their technique during training. the next morning, everything seemed to be as normal as normal could be for the students, teachers and pros and the training was continued, though the remedial class seemed to be rather tired. which Jerren could understand. Sato, Kirishima, Kaminari and Sero had come back to the room after 2 in the morning. and the training had started at 7. but mister Aizawa did not show them any mercy. all the other students also seemed to train hard, though keeping up the pace was difficult if you were drilled to train as hard as you possibly could. well, Jerren, Lazuli and the Saiyans did hold back some, but they did focus on their technique during training.
but, the training did not go too well for every student. Tetsutetsu, who was training to keep his steel covering his body for as long as possible while being hit, was distracted with what he had heard last night. but, while this got him some extra hits in the head now and then, it did not discourage his training, but motivate him. if there were powerful aliens out there, then he would have to be as powerful as possible. and while the thought of a being powerful enough to wipe out all people in an entire universe was scary and not something he could stop; if minions of such a being were coming, he would make his quirk as strong as he possibly could, so he could at least defend himself and others.
the pussycats, while aiding those who needed it in their training; they too were a bit distracted by what they had learned last night. against such a powerful being as Zamasu, none of them could stand a chance. a snap of his fingers and they would be gone. Midoriya was doubly conflicted, as he had thoughts of last night in his head, as well as his conversation with Kota, who hated heroes. and because he was distracted by such thoughts, Tiger managed to creep up on him and give him a good scare. but, as Tiger put him back to work, he whispered into the boy's ear, 'listen, kid, if you want to stand a chance against real villains, let alone aliens; you need to train harder than ever before. train as if your life depends on it!' Midoriya nodded and, with renewed enthusiasm, he started working his body harder than ever before, to tear his body apart, so it could grow back stronger, so he could use more of the power his quirk could give.
Kendo, who was training with her big hands, looked at Jerren and Lazuli, who had picked up their training. Jerren was still compressing his blasts, making them as small and fast as he could, while Lazuli made her shields as small and compressed as well. but now they were doing so at high speed and the sound of a Gatling gun was sounding over the training field, along with Bakugou's explosions and his cursing. as Jirou walked by, Kendo asked, 'do you think it's a good idea to have all five of them stay here? what if them staying here will cause us to get caught up in their problems?' Jirou looked around and, as she continued training her quirk, she replied, 'look, listen, while I was suspicious of them for a long time, I do trust them. I just didn't trust their backstory and why they were so powerful. this Omni King has once sent a villain after them, which involved me. but while I was forced to trap them, I was betrayed. but not only did they save me, but they also asked my help in defeating said villain. and the way Lazuli beat me in the sports festival to protect me from Raven,... if their enemies are coming here, you can be sure; they will do everything in their power to protect us.' Jirou sighed, 'I don't think I ever properly thanked them. or, apologized for my behavior to them, being suspicious of their every action. I wish I could. maybe I can somewhere this week. maybe while making dinner.' Kendo nodded. if Jirou had been through that and trusted them, then, while nervous and scared of the powers of this wrathful being, she would put her trust in those five as well.
as the training continued and only seemed to get tougher, Pixiebob had an announcement, after laughing in meowing noises, 'more importantly; tonight's gonna be fun! we're pitting classes against each other in a test of courage! I know you've been training hard today and later you'll get to play hard! how's that for a reward?!' Kendo could only reply, 'it sounds like more training!' Jirou added, 'and training in the dark no less!' this news didn't bother the group of five all that much, as all five of them could sense the ki of others. no matter where they would hide, they would be able to tell. so, they wouldn't be scared that easily.
with that said and done, everyone continued to focus on their training. but while most people were exhausted already, some students kept going strong. Bakugou, who refused to be anything less than the best. Todoroki who wanted to gain better control over both halves of his quirk, Midoriya, who wanted to gain full control over his quirk. but the five also increased their own training rate. Cabba, having almost continuously fought Caulifla who had gained better control over her blue form, he too was beginning to grasp it and had managed to go blue for a minute. he had managed this twice so far and both Saiyans had retained their control, so as to not destroy their surroundings, only focussing their attacks on each other.
Kale could manage her combined god ki red form and her berserker form much better now. while she kept on doing meaningless work of hauling multiple boxes of weights and bringing them to the other side of the training grounds and once all were there she brought them back to the truck, while not helping her muscles, it did help with her stamina, as well as managing the anger her berserk form brought along with it. Jerren used his refined control of compressing his energy blasts to the max and started launching such blasts from his fingertips. this made for a much faster blast rate, while aimed at different spots. Lazuli had to step up her game as well, making more shields, faster, still blocking all of them. but while compressing her shields, as she blocked this onslaught, she saw how some of her shields were rather close to some of the others. this gave her the idea of layering her shields. and compressed as they were, linking them together, she might be able to make a kind of chain mail plate mail armor for herself. with her god ki, she could make herself a divine armor which could block just about anything! though, as she continued blocking Jerren's rapid-fire attack, she realized how much mental focus that would take. but, if she set it for her goal for the end of this week and really pushed herself, she was pretty sure she could do it. as for Jerren, his fourth wing was getting bigger bit by bit as he was in a state of focusing on his power and constant improvement. it still wasn't as big as the others, but it might get there by the end of the week. and then, he might just focus on a fifth wing. with Zamasu now in full control of the Omni King's full power; he needed as much power as he could handle.
after training, everyone, no matter how tired they were, had to get to cooking. and while this happened, Pixiebob managed to sneak up on Midoriya and tapped him on his shoulder. as the boy looked up, he found her claw on his shoulder and her face rather close to his, 'listen, kid, I need to have a word with Jerren. can you let him know to come and find me after dinner?' Midoriya nodded and she let go of him and he went to Jerren, telling him with Pixiebob had told him to pass on to him. as such, after dinner, Jerren sensed where Pixiebob was and walked behind the house, meeting up with her and he followed her into the woods. Lazuli, having overheard what Midoriya had said and sensing what was going on, found it a little weird, not understanding the reason for this.
as the two walked through the forest, Pixiebob explained, 'last night was a tad crazy. not to mention; completely unexpected. learning that aliens exist, not to mention that they are on our planet. and multiple universes! and a multi-verse war! with it all being true; quite shocking!' Jerren nodded, 'Yeah, I know. it was never our intention to tell anyone about any of that. or, at least; we didn't want to involve anyone we did not recruit as an ally in the knowledge of the war. but, last night, hearing we would be getting the seventh dragon ball; we let our guard down, thinking things were about to come to an end and that we were far enough away from anyone to hear us. but, we underestimated how tenacious a certain annoying overly suspicious girl, whose life we had saved, could be. and so we were overheard last night, by Jirou and those other two. and now the truth is out.'
Pixiebob laughed at his story, before getting a bit more serious, 'well, last night, after,... the whole story. I and the other pussycats had a private talk about what had happened. we weren't completely certain if you guys staying was the best.' Jerren shrugged, 'well, my choice was to leave. I said that last night. but, Merus ordered us to stay, so we stay. and it's also for the defense of the planet.' Pixiebob nodded, 'yes, I know that. but, the others are still worried. and Ragdoll was pretty shaken, hearing about a being who can simply erase anything and everything, without restriction.' Jerren nodded, 'not surprising. it really is an ability unlike any other. devastating in the wrong hands. like; Zamasu's hands.'
Pixiebob nodded, 'well, with that said; I did tell them that I trust you! and the others,... the others too, of course. that I trust you guys to protect us. a bit weird, a hero knowing someone else protects them. but it's the truth and quite comforting at that. but, uhm,... after all this, war and stuff, is over,... once all the seriousness calms down and things return to normal for you guys and things here are as normal as can be,... I uhm,... well; I will be available.' Jerren looked at her in surprise, 'available? available for what?' Pixiebob frowned for a moment, before slyly looking at him and making a cute cat pose, 'for you, silly! as I am single and so are you! I will be available for you. if you don't mind this pretty kitty.' now understanding, Jerren started blushing and he looked the other way, trying to find the right words, 'well,... I uhm,... I'm not against such an idea. I just,... well, the war is still,... and who knows what the future brings? but,... should things end peacefully and I can come back to you,... we'll see where things go from there.'
Pixiebob smiled and quietly squealed in delight, as her advances had not been rejected. she quickly stepped up to him and gave him a peck on the cheek, 'thanks for walking and talking with me. I'll see you at the test of courage.' Jerren nodded, 'sure.' he kept standing there, watching how she left, while the blush burning on his face was lessening. as Pixiebob was out of sight and couldn't hear him, he sighed, 'okay Lazuli, you can come on out now.' Lazuli stepped around from behind a tree, which made Jerren wonder why so many people were hiding behind trees lately. Lazuli replied, 'just making sure she doesn't try anything funny.' Jerren shrugged, 'nothing that she can do would have any effect on me. ILazuli nodded, while look can handle myself, thank you very much. you, as my partner, should know that.'
Lazuli nodded while looking in the direction of Pixiebob; blond, with blue eyes, same as her. was that Jerren's type or something? 'well, either way, 'she replied, 'be careful around her either way. her trying to flirt with you might just be some kind of trap. I am going to keep an eye on her, just in case.' Jerren nodded, not arguing with her. but as the two headed back to the campgrounds, they both wondered; was she, Lazuli, jealous of Pixiebob? shortly after getting back, both classes gathered up for the test of courage, where the pussycats explained the classes would be split up and one class would try to scare the other class, without touching them, as they walked down the path in pairs. and after the remedial class was dragged away under their objections by mister Aizawa, the game could begin.
and so the game started, with every few minutes a pair of students walking down the path. and soon enough screams were heard from those who were scared. but, other students started to get scared too, as suddenly black smoke started rising from the forest as if it had been lit on fire. but, before the heroes could do anything about it, they were ambushed. Pixiebob started floating off of the ground, before being pulled in a certain direction. as everyone looked where she went, they saw how a big man smacked her on the head with a metal object, before pinning her to the ground. and next to this guy stood a lizard man, who wielded what appeared to be a large collection of swords, connected into one big blade.
the villains introduced themselves and while Tiger and Mandalay stood protective in front of everyone, when the big guy, to whom the lizard man referred to as; "big sis Mag" threatened to crussh Pixiebob's skull, as Jerren was about to lose it, Lazuli had already made her move. she created a shield in front of Mag's face, before expanding it, knocking him back, before she got in his face; or rather, she kneed him in the face, knocking him against a tree. the lizard man raised his sword, 'who do you think you are?!' but Jerren grabbed his wrist out of nowhere, 'say, ever seen a lizard fly?' this man, Spinner, was caught of guard by the question and the cold violent tone, before shakily replying, 'no?' Jerren grinned, 'then watch yourself!' he punched Spinner in the face, also knocking him into a tree, before blasting his sword to splinters. Mandalay than gave the orders for Iida to quickly bring everyone back to camp, while they went to help the other students.
with the two of them having dispatched the two villains, Jerren picked up Pixiebob, who only had a bleeding head wound, which would likely leave a scar. while Iida brought most of the students back to the main building, Midoriya suddenly ran away. as Mandalay send him a mental message and Iida yelled after him, both asking where he was going, he said he knew where Kota was and was going to bring him to safety. as there were no students, Jerren handed Pixiebob to Mandalay and looked at the forest, 'don't worry. if the league is attacking, the five of us will make short work of them. can't have them traumatizing students.'
Mandalay nodded, 'okay, but you will get all the mental support from me and muscle support from Tiger. so long as it's not extraterrestrial threats, we can help.' Mandalay carried Pixiebob back to the main building, while Tiger prepared to head into the forest with the two of them, as both villains would likely remain knocked out for quite some time. but just as they were about to leave, a pink blast came down on the three of them. Lazuli created a shield in the air, blocking it, before looking, 'oh, it's you three.' Brianne floated in the air with a slight sadistic smile, with Sanka Ku and Su Raos behind her with similar looks on their faces. Brianne pointed at Jerren and Lazuli, 'sorry, but you're not going anywhere. you'll have to deal with the maidens of Love first!'
Jerren sighed, 'seriously? Tiger, go ahead. this is our business. the kids need your help.' Tiger nodded and ran into the forest to help the students. Brianne landed, still smiling, 'you two are going to pay for humiliating me as you did! I was going to be known as the goddess of love in my universe and everyone would see me as the perfect man declared his love to me! and then you dared to say that this kill-bot was more beautiful than I was!' Jerren nodded, 'Yeah, I remember. I also remember that back then it was ten on two. so, do you think that three on two is a good idea?' while he said that, he could feel all three of them were much more powerful than last time. they had obviously trained. but so had they!
Lazuli gave Brianne a cold look. the way Brianne had included she was about to become a goddess of love bothered her. there was no need to say something like that; so why had she? in the two months since their fight, had she obtained god ki? or worse; all three of them? well, the two of them had too. well, only one way to be sure. in a quick burst of god ki, Lazuli rushed Brianne and launched a punch in her face. but Brianne brushed her attack aside, having activated her own god ki, which burned in a pink aura around her. this confirmed Lazuli's thoughts, taking away any kind of surprise attack she might try to launch. Brianne shot a blast at Lazuli, which she blocked, but it did push her back a few meters.
Brianne smiled, 'ever since losing you, and losing to you, I have been training! with my supreme Kai! with my goddess of destruction Heles and her Angel! all so I could achieve my beautiful revenge! the fact that the Omni King ordered me to get you, 'she pointed at Lazuli, 'while killing any mortal who gets in our way, is just a bonus. no idea what he wants with the Kill-Bot and I don't care!' Brianne powered up and her pink god ki burst out of her. Lazuli remained calm and took her stance, 'that's not going to happen!' she activated her own god ki, being ready to fight. the other two landed and they took their stances, before they started yapping, introducing themselves and breaking apart their names into many parts.
Jerren sighed, 'we don't have time for this!' he activated two wings and shot three blasts, hitting all three of them in the face, knocking them against the ground, getting dust on all three of them. the three jumped up, yelling and complaining, before Lazuli trapped all three of them in a round shield dome of their own, before making a small opening in each. and using the earth's quirk training, Jerren shot three compressed blasts through the holes, before they exploded in the shields, but also breaking them from the inside out. all three now had scratches, bruises and slight burns on them, their outfits were torn and they were really pissed off. Jerren looked at them, 'if you three want to transform, lose the theatrical nonsense. it leaves you wide open!'
all three let out an angry scream, forgoing their theatrics and going into their stronger forms. Brianne became Ribrianne, Sanka Ku became Kakunsa and Su Raos became Rozie. Jerren cleared his throat, 'and here we have the fat and very ugly Ribrianne, the wild cat Kakunsa and the weakling Rozie.' all three women charged him in blind rage, disturbing their god ki aura. Lazuli created two barriers, which Kakunsa and Rozie crashed into while getting in Ribrianne's way and kicking her to the ground, while Jerren blasted both Kakunsa and Rozie in two different directions. Lazuli smiled, 'if you really learned god ki, then you should know you need to keep a calm control. flying into a rage will only work to weaken you. not to mention make it easier to beat you than it already will be!'
Ribrianne shot up, still angry, but she did listen to what Lazuli had said and remembered her lessons. she took a deep breath and, while she was still angry, she managed to be calmly angry. she shot forward, this time much faster than before and unleashed a vicious beatdown on Lazuli, aiming powerful and accurate blows at her and driving her back. Lazuli blocked what she could while stepping back, focusing more than before. it had been a while since she had to fight someone seriously using god ki. Kakunsa and Rozie had also heard Lazuli's words and seeing the effects the calm and controlled anger had on Ribrianne, the two did the same and attacked Jerren, who seemingly waited for them.
as they reached him, he channeled some god ki through his two wings, which streamed the power through his body. as they launched attacks of claws and a barrage of fists down on him, he managed to stand his ground and swatted all attacks aside, remaining calm and focused. he didn't know why they wanted Lazuli, but he wouldn't allow them to have her. but he wondered; why was the Omni King after her? for now, he would focus on beating these two. yes, they were stronger. far stronger than before. but back when he had rescued Lazuli, he hadn't even had his first light hawk wing, let alone god ki. now he had both! he dodged a punch from Rozie by sidestepping her, before grabbing Kakunsa's wrist, pulled her along and tossed her against Rozie who toppled over. the two jumped up in anger again, before continuing their attack. but Jerren still easily stood his ground.
in the forest, the Saiyans had noticed both the attack from the league of villains and the attack from three individuals who were attacking Jerren and Lazuli. Caulifla told Cabba and Kale to stay together, find as many students as possible and get them out of the forest. the pink gas that was filling it was knocking people out. the only reason it hadn't worked on them was because they had sent out their energy. like a powerful wind, it pushed the gas aside, so it didn't touch them. Caulifla had gone looking for others on her own and quickly found Tetsutetsu and Kendo. both of them were wearing gas masks, which they had gotten from Momo. as they saw her without a mask in the pink gas, they first wondered, before seeing how her energy held the gas at a distance. Caulifla could sense where the opponent was and while the gas streamed, having her point the exact way to where the villain who was responsible for the gas that knocked out so many students was a great help. and Tetsutetsu was looking forward to bashing his steel fist into the villain's face.
the villain responsible, going by the name; Mustard, could sense what was going on in his gas and noticed how two came his way. or maybe three? his gas seemed to move around something, but it wasn't a person. but whatever this was, it was also moving. and all three came his way. he pulled his pistol out of his pocket, to be ready to shoot the first of these snobs who went to UA in the face. but the next moment, he turned around in shock, as there were four people closer to him. he aimed his gun, seeing the shape of a tall and lanky man standing there, with next to him, three forms he could not really place. were those really people? if so; what quirks did they have? were these also students? he aimed his gun at the four of them, 'who are you? are you four losers who go to UA?' the lanky man's figure replied, 'no, mortal, we are your death!'
Mustard didn't know who these guys were or why they were here! but these were not his targets, nor were they heroes! the smallest one, a round ball-shaped being, started moving, so he aimed his gun at it and shot! but his bullet seemed to have no effect. due to his gas, he couldn't clearly see, so he didn't know if it was that small one's quirk or the quirk of one of those other three! he shot again and again. but still to no result. he shot three more times, before his gun made a clicking sound. he was out of bullets. the small round one suddenly emitted a light, before Mustard felt a burning pain on his chest. he choked in pain, before falling on his back. and with him losing consciousness, maybe even his life, his gas started to evaporate!
the disappearing of the gas was noticed quickly by just about everyone in the forest, including the villains, even if they were outside of the gas. but Caulifla, Tetsutetsu, and Kendo noticed most of all, as they had been moving towards the center of the gas. they stopped for a moment, before Caulifla explained, 'that's odd! I do sense one other person near the one who made the gas, but that one didn't launch an attack. if the gas maker has been knocked out, maybe it was done by some sort of a weapon. if we continue, we need to be careful. while the person who's still there is not powerful, I do get an uneasy feeling.' the other two nodded, but as she continued, they still accompanied her.
back with Jerren and Lazuli, the fight had continued, with Ribrianne continuing her merciless barrage of punches and heart-shaped blasts, all charged with god ki. but Lazuli had, so far, managed to block or evade all attacks. as she had limitless stamina due to her infinite energy engine, she could afford to let this fight drag out and let Ribrianne tire herself out. the training here had really helped, making small compressed shields at high speed, she had managed to place such shield, with some god ki on each spot that Ribrianne's fists would have hit; thus blocking any incoming damage. and it was done so close to her skin that Ribrianne did not notice the shields being activated.
Jerren meanwhile was fending off Kakunsa and Rozie, who both unleashed high-speed attacks filled with god ki also. a barrage of punches and high-speed movements with claw swipes. but Jerren managed to block and evade all attacks while saving most of his power. these two had indeed gotten considerably stronger and the control of their god ki was impressive. had they had this level of power last time, he and Lazuli would not have escaped universe 3. but that was then and this was now! with precise movements he kicked away their legs, causing them to fall to the ground, where he blasted them back with small compressed blasts, only for them to come and attack him again.
Jerren sidestepped Kakunsa's attack, before tripping her, making her rush into a tree, destroying it as she clawed it instead of him. but as she did, he looked in that direction and sensed Midoriya was over there, on the mountainside, fighting someone who was rather strong, at least for earth standards, and he was hurt!. at this moment, both Kakunsa and Rozie jumped him, yelling, 'gotcha!' in a flowing motion, he instantly reacted, sidestepping them both in a flowing motion, grabbing both behind their heads, first throwing Kakunsa to the ground, before spinning around and throwing Rozie into Kakunsa; head first! the clash of two heads thrown at godspeed caused both of them to be knocked out.
Jerren looked over to Lazuli, 'hey Lazuli, I am going to help Midoriya, he seems to be struggling against whoever that is over there! I'll be back as soon as I can. meanwhile; stop holding back and roast that fat pig already. or do I need to help you when I come back?' Lazuli smiled, dodged two of Ribrianne's punches and grabbed both her wrists, before piledriving both her feet into the pink fighter's face, launching her through some trees! Jerren nodded and hurried into the direction of the mountain, flying off the ground and rushing to help Midoriya. but then he understood why Midoriya was fighting there. he had said he knew where Kota was and there was a very small power near Midoriya's fluctuating power and the large power. that had to be Kota.
Ribrianne stood up again and walked toward Lazuli, 'so, you have been holding back?' last time we fought you stood no chance against me! so why do you think that would be any different now?!' Lazuli smiled, 'how flawed your memory is! last time it was three on one, before it being ten on two. you can only win when the numbers are in your favor. and yes, you have become more powerful. but so have I. in case you survive this and become able to train some more; try to find a transformation that keeps you in your slender form. in that big bloated form, you are too much of an easy target! not to mention an eyesore!' Ribrianne screamed in anger, rolled into a ball and shot at great speed toward Lazuli. but she saw her coming, before blocking her with a shield and making her bounce up, where she placed more shield, bouncing her around before dropping her, where she punched her right in the face!
Jerren was flying toward where Midoriya was fighting against something or someone that was far stronger than he was. and as he had said he knew where Kota was, the weak power signature over there had to be Kota. as he neared the cliff, he saw Midoriya struggling against what appeared to be a swelling ball of uncovered muscles. and as Jerren came closer, he could see a face in that mass of muscle, which was slowly crushing Midoriya, who struggled to fight back, already having damaged his arms by using more power than his body could currently handle. and the twisted face within all that muscle yelled out to Midoriya to show him his blood!
Jerren scowled, before drawing his attention, 'you want blood?! here's yours!' he rolled through the air, before drop kicking the man in his face at high speed with great force, throwing him into the side of the wall. Kota came running toward Midoriya, to see if he was still alive. Jerren looked at Midoriya, who was injured, both his arms had taken quite some damage. Jerren landed next to Midoriya and gently helped him to his feet, 'you alright pal?' Midoriya nodded, 'yeah, I am. but we need to stop this villain! his name is Muscular. he is the one who killed Kota's parents!' Jerren looked at Kota, who was still worried for Midoriya, who had come to his defense, while also still shocked by the confrontation with the one who had killed his parents.
Jerren was considering using one of the dragon ball's three wishes to revive his parents. this boy had suffered enough. still; there would be no explanation for it which they would be able to accept. this would not be something that could be kept private. it would be big news for everyone, without an explanation. and while he and Kota made sure Midoriya was alright, he wondered; why just bring this kid's parents back. even though their mission was slightly compromised, there was no reason to compromise it more. though, he supposed it would be possible to make a wish to bring all the parents and children who had been killed by villains in the past few years back to life. just like the appearance of quirks many generations ago, this too would be seen as a miracle. if there was a possibility for such a wish, this seemed to be the best way to phrase it.
but as the three of them were about to leave, the rocks behind them cracked. as they turned, Kota shrieked in fear, as Muscular was back. he had wrapped his entire body in muscle and was even more pumped up than before! his face was bleeding from Jerren's attack and he seemed to be really mad. mad to have seen his own blood, mad to no have seen that other kid's blood! and mad that he was denied his kill! he stepped forward, with each step cracking the ground and making the ground tremble. this guy wielded some serious power! too bad it had to be wasted on such a person with a sick personality! Jerren turned around to him, 'you want some more? fine, but this will be the end! the end of your villainous career! the end of your killing!'
where Muscular was angry before, now his anger exploded, 'I'll kill all of you! you! the kid with the strength quirk and the brat of those weaklings I killed before!' the big guy ran forward and Jerren was prepared to knock him out. but Midoriya than rushed by him at great speed, with determination in his eyes and his power was suddenly skyrocketing with a boost of adrenaline, his mind going into a fight or flight mode and he was pushing his power to way beyond his limits as he exclaimed, 'Delaware Detroit Smash!' the shockwave that followed as Midoriya hit Muscular was enormous. the villain's outer muscles were torn apart before he was hit square in the face, knocked out cold and into the side of the mountain.
the villain was defeated, but Midoriya's right arm was more busted than ever before. as dark red as it was, Jerren estimated that all the skin was badly and deeply bruised, he had internal bleedings, not to mention the wounds already on his arms. plus using the full power of his quirk for an extended period of time. not to mention the bone damage. where he had messed up his hand when fighting Todoroki, Jerren could guess the bones in the right arm were likely broken and there would likely be bone splinters spread through his arms. still, for Midoriya to wield such power, even once, was impressive. the potential this kid had was incredible.
Jerren nodded, 'well done Midoriya. while you're clearly hurt, I am glad to see you're still alive. both of you.' he nodded to Kota, before continuing, 'though as bad as that guy is, I wonder if classes 1-A and 1-B are alright. even with Tiger and Ragdoll in the forest to help them.' Midoriya nodded, 'if all the villains are as powerful as this guy and there's more of them than the teachers than things could end up bad! the others would be in for the fight of their lives!' Jerren nodded, 'Yeah, well, don't worry. two of the villains have already been taken care of and they weren't even half as strong as this guy. not even together.' Midoriya nodded, before being alarmed again, 'wait, I just remembered something! these guys; they're after Ka-chan!'
Jerren was somewhat surprised by that information, 'what? after Bakugou? what would they want with that him? ... oh wait? his villainous portrayal at the sports festival, not to mention his reputation for yelling and cursing, his explosive temper and explosion quirk. they want to recruit him. that would be quite a blow against hero society as a whole.' Midoriya nodded, before walking to Kota, telling him to get on, as he had to get the boy to safety. Jerren looked in the direction of the building, 'Midoriya, you can head there in a straight line. there aren't any villains near there. and the boy's aunt is there as well, not to mention the pros. he'll be safe there and you can get the rest you earned.'
Midoriya shook his head, 'No, the others could still be in trouble. not to mention Ka-chan! I have to help!' Jerren put a hand on Midoriya's shoulder, 'I admire your drive to help and I appreciate it. but as injured as you are now, you need your rest.' he stepped up close to Midoriya, with Kota hanging on the kid's other shoulder, he whispered into Midoriya's ear, 'me, lazuli and the Saiyans are gonna put an end to the league of villains and their plans tonight! I just need to get back to Lazuli to help her out of a bit of universal trouble.' but just as Jerren was about to leave, he sensed a massive energy right behind him. a power that was rivaling Rumush in power. but, this energy was pure, no god ki to be detected!
Midoriya saw the look of shock on his face, 'Jerren, what's wrong?' Jerren turned around and Midoriya looked back, where a gray-skinned alien wearing red and black and white gloves and boots, was flying in the sky. Jerren had heard of this guy; the rumors of a mortal rivaling their god of destruction in power, from universe 11, 'Jiren the Gray!' Jiren landed, 'so, I found you. now, you will pay for your little rebellion against Grand Zeno.' Midoriya, hearing who had send this guy, remembering Merus his words, realized this guy was trouble. especially as shocked as Jerren looked! Jerren sighed, 'great, so it's not just Brianne and her lackeys who came to cause trouble. now we have to deal with you guys and the league of villains. couldn't you have shown up tomorrow?' Jerren was trying to buy time, to let Midoriya get away, but than Jiren added, 'you miscounted. some doctor from universe three and three of his toy scrap heaps are also here to deal with the Saiyans.'
Jerren nodded, 'great, thanks for telling me all that. and here I had heard you were the quiet type. yet you give up all the information freely. Midoriya, go! warn mister Aizawa we have double the trouble tonight!' Midoriya nodded and, using his quirk mostly in his legs, he rocketed away and ran back toward where the pros were. Jerren stretched a moment, before taking a more serious pose in front of Jiren, 'you know, I have been wanting to meet you Jiren. I have heard about you, you see. rumors said that you were as strong, or stronger than your universe's god of destruction. and I have also heard how the Omni King supposedly sends you to universes where the conflict with his forces was taking too long. or where his forces were just wiped out. but, you disappoint me Jiren. I heard you were a pride trooper, a warrior for justice, who help the innocent. yet you work for such a tyrannical monster!'
Jiren showed no emotion and simply replied, 'you and your group oppose the Omni King. this act is unjust. so I am here to put an end to your flimsy rebellion! the Omni King's justice warriors will put an end to you!' Jerren nodded, 'great, your group has a lame name. now, mister free information; why are you after Lazuli? what does the Omni King want with her?' Jiren shrugged, 'don't know. don't care! I guess everyone else will see soon enough. that is, everyone other than you, the Saiyans and this planet!' Jerren nodded; their conversation was over! he charged up three of his light hawk wings, before charging at Jiren and launching a punch to his face.
Jiren casually tapped it aside, before countering with a punch with immense power! Jerren pulled both his arms back and used both to block Jiren's attack. he succeeded, but barely. his arms were shaking from the impact and he might have a small fracture in both. he could only hope they weren't broken yet. and wouldn't break during this fight! he slammed both his wrists together and shot a compressed blast at Jiren, who slapped it aside. Jerren smiled and launched volley after volley at the big guy, all aimed at vital points. but still, Jiren not only blocked them all, he did so with minimal effort. some times blocking with his energy alone. other times flicking them away with a flick of the wrist. Jerren slapped his hands together, before raising his arms and spreading them, unleashing a row of countless compressed blasts, before pushing his hands forward, unleashing an onslaught of compressed blasts in a continuous stream at Jiren.
back with Lazuli, she was having an easy time with Ribrianne. the fat fighter tried to fight as hard as she could, using her god ki as precisely as she could. and she really was powerful. but Lazuli was more so. using small compressed shields, she easily deflected Ribrianne's blasts and punches, before countering and laying a beatdown on her. Lazuli was still unscathed, while Ribrianne's clothes were somewhat torn and dirty from having been knocked to the ground so many times. not to mention the bruises on her face. Lazuli walked toward her, blocked another attack, before grabbing Ribrianne by what little neck she had and pulling her forward, before kneeing her in the gut!
as Lazuli let go of Ribrianne, the latter nearly fell to her knees, before receiving a kick to the face, which send her flying into a through a tree. Lazuli walked toward her, charging and compressing a blast of god ki to finish this fight. Ribrianne struggled to get back up, before launching two blasts forward. but both missed Lazuli completely. she couldn't help but tease, 'lost your aim?' surprisingly, Ribrianne smiled, 'Oh, you wish.' and from behind Lazuli, she felt two energies return. Rozie and Kakunsa had regained consciousness and had been healed by Ribrianne's blasts. they now stood up and joined Ribrianne in her fight.
Lazuli sighed, 'seriously; this again? and here I thought you were someone who looked for the beauty in battle. I can't understand how you can fight so dirty.' Ribrianne snapped, 'what?!' Lazuli nodded, 'you heard me. you say you fight for love and beauty. I can respect that. except when you do the opposite; ganging up on someone. sure, the battle was not going in your favor, but that's how some battles go.' Kakunsa interjected, 'don't listen to her Ribrianne! she knows that we can beat her now that its three on one!' Lazuli looked back, 'can you keep quiet kitty? this is a talk between ladies.' she looked back to Ribrianne, leaving Kakunsa speechless, 'now Ribrianne, the choice, of course, is up to you. what do you want people to say? that you fight beautiful and fair? or that you fight unsightly by cheating?'
Ribrianne seemed to indeed need to think this over. Rozie tried to speak up, 'but it's the Omni King's order.' Lazuli gave her a cold look, 'and is that reason enough to let go of her pride as a woman? you know, if you two want to help, if you have to help, then if Ribrianne asks for it to be one on one, I don't mind if you two heal her like she did for you two. give her back some energy. that would still allow her to fight a battle one on one.' as Lazuli played these mind games with them, she tried to keep them from teaming up on her. last time it happened, she had been weakened and orders were to not show her true power. but even at full power, fighting all three of them, all of them having a different fighting style, as well as god ki; that would be difficult. now she awaited Ribrianne's choice, awaiting if her mind games had worked.
meanwhile, as Caulifla, Tetsutetsu and Kendo had continued, they had eventually arrived at the place where the gas had come from. and they found a teenager's body, wearing his school uniform and a gas mask. but what was shocking all three of them was the hole in his chest. it had been powerful and hot. he wasn't bleeding out. the flesh had been burned, keeping him from bleeding out. but the injured organs; lungs, stomach and heart, remained damaged. though he had likely been dead before he had hit the ground; no chance for healing. and while Kendo and Tetsutetsu wondered what could do such horrific damage, Caulifla sensed her surroundings, looking for the culprit, before sending up a flare. Mandalay had let them know Tiger was on his way to help the students. so this way, he would be able to find them. but so could he friends. and likely; the enemy!

Mandalay had let them know Tiger was on his way to help the students. so this way, he would be able to find them. but so could her friends. and likely; the enemy!
shortly after the flare had been launched, Tiger showed up, finding the students, Caulifla, and the villain. they told Tiger how Caulifla had sensed the person who was making the toxic smoke and followed it, until it disappeared, finding this guy here, dead. Caulifla added, 'but, while I do sense someone's energy in the woods, it was not what killed this guy. there is some lingering energy on his wound,... but it's not something I have ever sensed before. it's hard to say what produced it. but with the energy I am sensing being as strong as it is, these might be the ones Merus warned us about.' Tiger nodded, 'well, they wouldn't be the only ones. there were three girls who picked a fight with Jerren and Lazuli. their leader called them; the maidens of love, or something like that.'
Caulifla closed her eyes and expanded her senses, sensing the forest, before opening her eyes in surprise, 'well, maybe Jerren and Lazuli fought those three before, but now Lazuli is alone with them. and Jerren seems to be fighting against the strongest energy I have ever sensed! Tiger, you need to get back, tell Mandalay that aliens are attacking! she needs to use her telepathic quirk to warn all students in the forest. Kendo, Tetsutetsu, you better go with him. both of you are capable, but not against a threat of this level.' the two nodded and as Tiger hurried back, encountering several students on their way back, the trio helped these students get back to the camp, while Tiger took a small detour, so they would avoid where Lazuli was fighting. Caulifla looked for Cabba and Kale, as she suspected she might need their help. she was no longer arrogant enough to think she could do everything by herself.
Midoriya was running with Kota on his back, running toward the camp, when he encountered mister Aizawa running through the woods, 'mister Aizawa! you're here. thank goodness! I need to catch you up on what I learned about the villains but there isn't much time. plus I need to find Mandalay! there is something that I need to tell her! please take care of Kota while I am gone! please, protect him! I'll be back soon!' with Kota having stepped off, Midoriya had not noticed that mister Aizawa was trying to stop him. but as he was about to run off again, he raised his voice, 'Midoriya!' the boy stopped in his tracks, 'those injuries; you went too far again, didn't you? have you forgotten about Hosu?' Midoriya weakly replied, while stumbling back to mister Aizawa, 'no, I haven't.' Aizawa nodded, 'go, Mandalay is at the base camp. but tell her something from me too; I the hero Eraserhead, give permission to the students of classes 1-A and 1-B that they have my permission to use their quirks to defend themselves, should they encounter villains!' Midoriya nodded, but as he stepped closer, he whispered something to mister Aizawa, so Kota wouldn't hear, 'also, it appears there are a few groups of aliens here, Jerren and Lazuli are already fighting them.'
Mister Aizawa was surprised to hear this and altered his earlier permission; the students were allowed to fight, using their quirks, to protect themselves, but when it came to aliens "American villains" than only the American transfer students were allowed to fight. Midoriya nodded and took this message, running toward the base camp, while mister Aizawa took Kota on his back. meanwhile, Jerren finished his onslaught against Jiren, who had managed to block all attacks, while all of them had hit, there didn't seem to be a scratch on the gray alien. as Jiren countered, Jerren felt a fist jammed into his stomach before seeing Jiren move. Jerren put up his guard, but Jiren easily broke through it and pummeled Jerren relentlessly, not giving Jerren a chance to fight back. and Jiren wasn't even using energy blasts.
Jerren was pushed back more and more and even when he managed to block one of Jiren's attacks, blocking the one that followed was nearly impossible. at least, the way he was now! he jumped back from Jiren's next attack, before summoning his third and fourth light hawk wings. but while his first three wings were fully grown, despite his training, his fourth wing was still small. although, that being the case, it still held power! Jerren's aura exploded around as he powered up to the maximum, before drawing his ki into himself, channeling his god ki, before taking it further. just like with his training, he compressed his ki as he poured it into his wings. his first three wings doubled in size and so did his fourth, making it half the size of when his wings were normal size!
Jiren had simply remained where he had been, calmly looking at Jerren's transformation, 'so, are you done? is that all you got?!' Jerren looked Jiren in the eye, before getting right in his face in a fraction of a second, before launching a punch. Jiren managed to block it, but the attack did push him back several meters. and as he stood his ground again, he saw a ball of ki burning on his chest. the next moment it exploded. Jerren landed but kept his distance. he knew that attack wasn't enough to take Jiren down. it might have caught him by surprise, which was a good way to win. but keeping up with launching surprise after surprise wouldn't be easy!
as the smoke cleared, Jiren stepped forward, frowning, as there was a hole in his uniform. Jiren glared at Jerren, before launching himself at the black-haired fighter! Jerren dodged a few of Jiren's attacks, launching some counters when he could but each was blocked. Jiren got passed Jerren's guard and punched him right in his fight with a lot of force. but just as Jerren was about to be sent flying, he grabbed Jiren's wrist. the gray alien was pulled along for a moment before he stopped both of them. Jerren jumped forward, before hugging Jiren. the gray alien froze in a moment of surprise, before Jerren flew into the sky, right before the ki mines he had planted on Jiren's back went off!
Jiren shot out of the smoke, as the back of his uniform now also had some holes and tears in it. he looked rather angry, as he had been caught off guard by the same opponent twice in the same fight! now he powered up, at least a bit, before launching himself at Jerren, faster than before! Jerren dodged the attack and continued fighting back. the two of them seemed to be on more equal footing, though Jiren did seem to have the edge, at least in terms of strength and amount of power! but while Jerren had the most bruises, Jiren had the most burns and ripped clothes. Jerren jumped back, spread his arms and small ki blasts came out of his four wings, he clapped his hands together, making all the ki blasts come together into one big blast. Jiren came at him, forcing Jerren to dodge, before throwing the blast at Jiren with a curve. but as it flew, the blast became smaller and smaller and got slower and slower, before it was the size of a marble as it reached Jiren. the gray alien looked unimpressed and attempted to swat it away. but as he touched it, it exploded, blasting him into the side of the mountain. Jerren nodded, snapped his fingers and had each wing produce a new super compressed ki blast the size of a marble. these were difficult to dodge, could move really fast and had a lot of explosive power!
Lazuli looked at Ribrianne, who seemed to be overthinking her two options; fight Lazuli one on one, beautiful and fair combat; and likely lose! or, in an unbeautiful matter, gang up on her three on one and have a possibility to win! if she wasn't under orders from the Omni King, she might have gone with the former but now, 'ladies! let's trash this tramp!' at the order, all three started attacking Lazuli. she managed to dodged their attacks and get some distance, making sure to not let any of them get behind her. but fighting three opponents with god ki wasn't easy! but, she had one advantage over them! Ribrianne was still damaged and somewhat exhausted. and while Rozie and Kakunsa had regained their energy and had been somewhat healed, they also weren't at full power! compared to her, with her infinite energy engine, she would never run out of stamina!
but still, with Kakunsa's speed and divine beast combat, Rozie's high-speed pummeling and Ribrianne's heart-shaped blasts and rolling attacks made it difficult. but, Lazuli also knew god ki and how the control worked. the more worked up you got, the more difficult it became to control! but making it difficult for three opponents at the same time would be difficult! but it was worth a try, at least to make it a little easier! Lazuli produced multiple small shields around herself, ready to expand them at the drop of a hat! she glanced over to Kakunsa, 'okay, here kitty kitty! wanna have a scratch behind the ears?' Kakunsa nearly snapped completely and rushed forward.
Lazuli activated three shields, but Kakunsa slashed through all three of them. but Lazuli ducked, compressed a shield on her knuckles and punched Kakunsa in the gut, before making her shields expand, right as Rozie was attacking, knocking Kakunsa into her friend. Ribrianne came toward Lazuli, but this time Lazuli took the offensive, more than before and started pummeling Ribrianne for all that she was worth, sensing the energy behind her. Rozie picked up Kakunsa, spun her around, before throwing her at Lazuli. Kakunsa took a step in between, to increase her speed. Lazuli bend backwards, making Kakunsa fly over her head, before making a shield expand behind her, making her crash into Ribrianne. when outnumbered, the best thing to do was use their numbers against them!
Rozie came at Lazuli again and started launching a barrage of punches at her, laced with god ki. Lazuli was now really happy with the training she had done with Jerren, their compression and speed training now came in really handy, making dozens of small shields, placing them right in front of Rozie's punches, blocking them, before dispelling her shields. Rozie could throw punches all day long. but she wasn't going to get anywhere with Lazuli's defenses. but the other two weren't out just yet. Ribrianne came in rolling at high speed, while Kakunsa ran around them, waiting for the right time to pounce! Ribrianne came straight for Lazuli with all the strength she had left, meaning Lazuli had to focus more on her than on Rozie, making a large diagonal shield to her left, making Ribrianne roll over it and launch herself into the sky. but with a large shield made, the small shields had less power behind them.
Rozie broke through them, before pummeling Lazuli in the face. she staggered backwards, momentarily dizzy! this is when it happened. Kakunsa rushed in, ready to shred Lazuli to bits. but as fast as Kakunsa was, she couldn't believe what she was seeing! Lazuli stepped back, out of the way of the attack, in a short flowing motion, faster than she was moving. Kakunsa rushed by her, Lazuli grabbed her by her tail and yanked her back, slamming her to the ground, before flinging her against Rozie, knocking both of them to the ground. Lazuli grabbed her head, before shaking off the dizziness, before looking at the two fighters in front of her. had she done that? she had felt her body move, but she did not remember doing it. her body moving on her own, without her mind telling her body to do so,... had that been ultra instinct? if it had, then this was the first proof of all her training to reach that ability.
at this moment, Midoriya reached the campsite, right as Tiger and several students, some half-awake, others knocked out from the gas, arrived. Midoriya told Tiger he needed to talk to Mandalay, as he had info from the villains to pass on, as well as a message from eraser head. with Vlad here, the students were safe and Tiger could be outside in a few seconds, he took Midoriya inside, to Mandalay, who was looking after Pixie Bob and her injury. some of Midoriya's classmates who were also inside were happy to see him safe. but as he needed to say some important things, he needed to talk to Mandalay alone for a moment.
he told her Kota was safe and that Eraserhead was watching over him and bringing him back here. the reason he had come running alone, was because of the important information. there were also aliens here, who were attacking the "transfer students" so they had to be labeled as "American villains" as well as that Eraserhead had given permission to the students to use their quirks to defend themselves. he also informed her that the villains were after Ka-Chan. but as he had a moment to breathe, he could tell her he meant Bakugou. with this done, Mandalay walked outside, seeing all the students who were safe, but, in case some villains would still come here, she also send the message to them. adding that if the students encountered the "American Villians" they were to avoid them, either leaving them to the pros or the "American Students" giving the explanation of; National Integrity with heroes fighting villains. it was a weak excuse, but the best one she could think of.
Bakugou, hearing that the villains were after him, didn't see any problem with the situation, only being happy that he was allowed to use his quirk to fight back. but he and Todoroki were having trouble with the villains Moonfish, who was to fast for his explosions to activate and only Todoroki's ice stopped it!
