I waited on the others, so far on the heroes we had me, Toru, Kyoka, Sato, Yuga, Shoji, Ojiro and Koda. The villains had Bakugo, Kirishima, Kaminari, Corinthia who had drawn first villain, Tokoyami, Sero, Ashido and Tsu.
The people left was Momo, Uraraka, Todoroki and Tenya.
"I Have Villain." Momo said.
"So do I." Uraraka said ash she pulled out her slip of paper.
"Well that means the last two are heroes." Iida said as he pulled out a villain slip.
"I said that you would be split into teams, I never said that they would be equal." All Might pulled out and handed the last villain slip to Todoroki.
"I see, so the heroes have to work quick to prevent further damage, and not get overwhelmed by multiple villains." Todoroki said.
I looked at my team, while they had their strong suits, I was the only heavy hitter on the team, Yuga with his upgraded belt would be helpful.
"Well let's get you into your hero costumes and start training." All Might smiled.
Chapter 24: Outnumbered
I watched from afar as Corinthia blasted down building with blue fire. "I know it takes some time for heroes to respond, but my god this minute is taking forever." Kyoka said as we waited.
"It's just a minute." I smiled, "Any progress on discovering your semblance?"
"No, nothing I try works." She looked to the ground. "How did you find yours?" She asked.
"I ran head first out my window, first time I broke my arm." I said.
"Why am I not surprised?" She shook her head.
"I was supposed to land in the leaf pile." I laughed. "Oh looking back on those days, I was just a walking disaster." The buzzer went off and I patted her shoulder. "See you on the battlefield." I ran into the mock city. Corinthia turned to me and filled the main street with blue flames. I pulled the trigger on Crescent Rose using the recoil to launch me onto the roof of a building. My perch was soon blasted apart by a bolt of lightning. "Damn it." I spun through the air and lined up a shot with her chest and pulled the trigger. The round impacted her aura, knocking her back a step.
I landed on the smoking ground and dashed to her, my scythe going to sweep her legs, but she blocked it with her bronze sword. She countered with her second blade after stepping inside my reach. I ducked under her blade only for her to bring up her sandaled foot and kicked me in the face. I rolled with the hit landing in crouched position. Her eyes never left mine, and she gave me a small grin as her eyes began to glow silver. "Let's see how you handle this."
I felt my skin start to burn as it turned to stone. I dashed away as the street filled with silver light, I got behind a building just in time. "Are you trying to kill me?!" I yelled as the light faded, my the right side of my face was turned to stone, the pain ran through my body as it cracked apart.
"Oh don't be a cub, that wasn't enough to kill you." She yelled back. I peeked out of the building only to have to pull back my head to avoid a blue fireball that splashed on the wall. "I don't have to beat you, I just have to stall you. While doing as much damage as possible."
"Damn it." I felt the last of the stone break away and I shoot out of the building, I fired three rounds at her, each one impacting her chest. Her bronze armor shone in the light as she blasted me with a blot of blue lightning. "I have to keep her to the already damaged area." I closed my eyes and called on my powers to create a storm, the winds answered and it started to rain, I could hear the hisses of fires being put out.
"Oh how romantic, two foes locked battle as the rain and winds roar around them, you really do know how to set the mood." She taunted as she charged me, her blades sparking off my scythe. She swept her leg under mine tripping me but I turned into petals and swirled behind her bringing my scythe down on her, her blades snapped up and caught the edge of my weapon and held it back. I fired once and the recoil forced her to a knee. Twice and the ground under her cracked.
I yanked on the bolt a third time and fired, and broke her guard, but in the instant that would have seen my weapon crashing down into her aura I heard a loud yell as I was shoulder tackled away from her. I rolled on the went stone and my head snapped up to Iida standing between me and her. "You'll never defeat us Hero!" He cackled.
'He's really in character... His new semblance will make him a problem, he may be too fast for even me to keep up with.' I kept my eyes on him. 'He doesn't have the same destructive potential as Corinthia, but he just has to keep me busy while she destroys buildings I have to get him out of the picture now.' I stood up I put away my scythe and charged destructive power in my hands. "Who's first?" I challenged them.
"Keep her busy, I'll focus on the goal." Corinthia said as she turned and ran.
"What you afraid I'll beat you? Face me as a true warrior." I called out.
She froze mid-step, her glare centered on me, "New plan, I'm going to make you submit to me and do the damage yourself. Kneel." I felt my legs grow heavy but I forced my self to remain standing.
"I'll never kneel to you." I Dashed forward, Tenya went to intercept me but he had misjudged the effect of his semblance and skidded past me leaving me free to attack Corinthia. I turned into petals to avoid her blades and planted both hands on the already damaged ground. "REAPERS PUNISHMENT!" We were engulfed in a pillar of purple power. It lasted for a few seconds before I cut off the power and stood up at the bottom of a massive crater, Corinthia's aura flickering much like my own she laid on her side.
"You damaged yourself with that attack." She snarled as she pushed her self up.
"I have aura to spare." I grinned as dashed forward and planted my boot in her chest, breaking through her blue aura and forcing her back to the ground. "You didn't."
"I yield. Next time I'll beat you." She got up and made her way out of the mock city.
"You may have beaten one of us Hero, but we have reinforcements on the way!" Tenya was being overly dramatic like he always did when he had to play the villain in training.
"Then the light of Justice will strike you down." I grinned, I enjoyed the banter we had back and forth during training. "For evil is no match for my power."
"HA HA HA! That is where you are wrong!" He got ready to charge me, his engines shooting blue flames out the ports on his legs, "REICEPRO BURST!" He became blur as he ran at and through me, on the very last second I had turned into a flurry of petals that his kick past through, I reformed behind him and smashed the back hook of my weapon into his back, his aura held but it was much weaker then Corinthia's, only a few more hits and I would beat him down.
He got back up and began to attack me with everything he had, but every kick was blocked and countered with my scythe. I hooked the blade on his shoulder and fired a round, swinging him in a circle around me before I slammed him into the ground, his aura had to be close to breaking. He spun on his hand as he swept his leg under me and tripped me over. I landed with a back roll but before I could react he was back on the attack, he steel covered leg slammed into the side of my head and sent sprawling on the stone. I stood back up only for his blur to appear over me, I barely blocked his attack my aura starting to fail. 'Damn it!"
I summoned a gust of wind to carry me away but I wasn't fast enough, he grabbed onto my leg and landed another kick, this time in my stomach, and my aura broke, his engine and semblance enhanced attack hit me in the stomach full force. I flew out of his grip and crashed into a wall pain racking my body. "You defeated hero!" I pushed my self to my feet in defiance.
"No, so long as I can stand... I can fight." I may not have my semblance with my aura broken, but I still had my weapons. I charged him, and he did the same, but at the last second I fired a round from my scythe, propelling me over him. I was perfectly upside down glaring down at Tenya. I hooked the back hook of my scythe onto his helmet, and brought him over my head and slammed him into the ground in front of me his aura breaking on impact and I fried one last shot, an ice round freezing him to the ground. "I won..." I huffed as I stepped back, leaning on my weapon.
A loud buzz rang through the mock city as the next student ran in. I spotted Sero running as fast as he could over to me. "Holy shit, you took a beating." He said as his helmet retracted.
"I think I've hit my limit... It's odd no longer being the fastest in the class." I said as I sat down. "Sorry but I don't think I'll be much help... I shouldn't have used that attack the way I did. But I hope you guys have it from here."
"No problem." He smiled. "You did more then enough."
And this chapter is complete.
