Round Two of Combat Training
Melissa and Momo were chosen to be the Villains while Katsuki and Hitoshi were going as the Hero Team.
"Villain Team, your preparation time starts now!" All Might declared as Melissa and Momo entered the building.
Melissa noticed the bomb was in the shape of a missile, she looked over to Momo who seemed to be in deep thought.
"So, what would our strategy be?"
Momo came out of thought and sighed "I think we are outmatched in terms of fire power, Bakugo is currently stronger than the output level you have available, not to mention we have no idea of what Shinso's quirk is, there are too many uncertainties, the best course of action would be to subdue the heroes as soon as possible."
Melissa pouted a little, but she knew she'd get stronger with time, "However, we do have speed and your versatility. I think you should make an Osmium alloy to cover up this room, and make me some tranquilizer darts. I'll go on the offense, you hold the fort. I'd ask for tranq guns but Osmium will take a lot out of you"
Momo smirked "Oh, you read my mind~"
Bakugo and Shinso were waiting outside,
"Hey Lilac, what's your quirk?", Bakugo relentlessly asked. He was not big on team-work, but he swore he'd change so he was trying his best.
Shinso didn't want to reveal his quirk, at least not until Sports Festival, but he knew that Aizawa-sensei might not give him multiple chances, not to mention the only reason he passed the entrance exam was because of the rescue points and Midoriya noticed him having difficulties with robots and mentioned a 'self-destruct' button.
He rubbed his tired eyes and replied, "It's called 'Brainwashing', if somebody replies to me, I have full control on their bodies for the next hour, I have not tested the full extent of it yet, but I can make them do anything, if the command is simple enough." he expected a look of horror, or remarks of how it's a 'villainous' quirk, but to his surprise,
Bakugo hummed "That's gonna be useful, now listen up, I got a strategy. We go together but as soon as the Blondie intercepts us, you vanish, let me deal with her. You go for the bomb, High-class surely doesn't know of your quirk yet, you can handle things there, make a snide comment or something. If you have any problems, inform me as soon as it happens. Are we clear!"
Shinso sighed and nodded 'Seems like he has it all figured out.'
"HERO TEAM, you may begin!" All Might's loud voice flared through the speakers.
And with that, Bakugo blasted through the main entrance, he was constantly letting off small explosions to give off his position, Shinso was trying his best to catch up to him.
After a couple of minutes they were on the third floor, when Katsuki noted a pair of eyes upon him, he gestured Shinso to move out from there.
Melissa had collected four darts and a blowpipe from Momo and was on her way to Bakugo, After a couple of moments she noticed that he was right before her eyes, and seemingly hadn't noticed her yet. She prepared and blasted off the dart.
To her shock, Bakugo just gracefully tilted his head and turned around with a maniacal smirk on her face.
"Tranq darts, Huh?"
Within a second Melissa powered up and took another shot but with her powered up hand, Bakugo in return shot himself towards the flinging dart.
Changing his trajectory mid-air, he flipped and landed a solid blow on Melissa's stomach, knocking air out of lungs.
Melissa came out of her shock soon enough, she knew she can't beat him in a one to one fight right now, so she pushed herself and powered up to 8%, she could feel her bones starting to groan and ache. She dashed towards Bakugo prepared to hit him with a dropkick.
Bakugo shifted on his toes and let off a huge explosion directly in Melissa's face.
Within a minute Melissa was down, blood pouring out of her nose, before she could retaliate...
"Melissa Shield has been Captured!"
Melissa looked in horror as Bakugo had wrapped the capture tape around her ankle.
Back in the surveillance room.
"Wow look at those moves." Mina cheered,
"He doesn't come off as a guy who's big on strategy, but that move requires deep precise movements to pull it off." Shoto stated in a monotone.
All Might knew Melissa just had 5% output available, but even he acknowledged Bakugo's skilled moves.
Izuku was gawking at the scene, one of his recent best friend was fighting with his old-best friend, he was a little worried about the last explosion Melissa took head on. But before he could mutter up his thoughts, the doors of the control room flew open revealing.
"IZU-CHAN! WHY DIDN'T YOU ATTEND OUR CLASSES!" Nemuri and Hizashi barged in pouting.
Izuku was about to explain but...
"NO-UH NO EXPLANATIONS, YOU ARE COMING WITH US, AND WE'LL TEACH YOU!" Present Mic roared while Nemuri nodded vigorously.
Izuku looked over All Might and mouthed 'help', to his surprise he just chuckled, "Well Young Izuku is done with the exercise, and he can review others from the school's website. Take him away!"
Nemuri and Hizashi were seen dragging Izuku out of the class while others just stared dumbfoundedly.
Momo heard Melissa had been taken out and she still had 5 minutes, as if on cue, someone banged on the door where she was protecting the faux bomb.
"Yoayorozu open up! We have already captured Shield and we will get your coward ass in a second!" Shinso shouted.
Momo was offended by the comment, "That's highly inapprop-" and with that, she was in total control of her enemy.
"Remove the traps and open the door carefully." Shinso ordered.
'What am I doing? Why am I complying with his demands? Why can't I move?!'
Four minutes passed, there were rustling and rumbling noises heard from outside the door, when Bakugo came and joined Shinso.
"Why the fuck is she not opening up!" Bakugo snarled.
As if on cue Momo with blanked eyes opened the door revealing the bomb and neatly piled sheets of Osmium alloy.
Shinso slowly moved towards the bomb and touched it while simultaneously letting Momo out of his control.
"HERO TEAM, WINS!" All Might declared through the speakers.
The three of them returned back to the surveillance area, while Melissa was taken to Recovery Girl by the bots.
"Can someone tell me who's the MVP of the match?"
Kirishima raised his hand and spoke, "It should be Bakugo, he was manly as hell, he subdued the villain and gave Shinso credit by securing the Bomb."
All Might smiled softly, "That's true, but the real MVP of this match was Young Melissa",
Hagakure perked up, "But wouldn't it be someone from the team who won?"
Before All Might could explain Kashiko raised her hand and began her 'rant' "Shield was the MVP because she took up the villain's persona and planned out accordingly, she planned for Momo to correctly guard the bomb and went for the offence with the most efficient tool she had at that moment, while on the other hand Bakugo barged in head-first and instantly gave off his position, it isn't wise if you are going against villains who you know nothing about. If this were an actual exercise, and Bakugo didn't have Shinso's quirk as an Ace, they wouldn't have won. There was no way Bakugo's explosions could've bypassed Momo's protective traps and barriers"
'Oh god, it is spreading!' All Might internally chucked and flashed a thumbs up to Sekigai "Exactly! Great insights Young Sekigai"
Momo felt proud for her friend, but she couldn't help but feel insecure that she wasn't able to do anything more worthwhile in the exercise.
"Now onto the next matchup, Team I (Shoto Todoroki and Mezo Shoji) vs Team K (Mashirao Ojiro and Toru Hagakure)
Melissa was in the Recovery Girl's room staring at the ceiling, even with all that training from Aizawa-sensei, All Might's quirk, she couldn't win. She was drowning in self-doubt when a familiar half greenette half whitette walked in.
"Hey beautiful~" He teased as he sat down at the corner of her bed, with a warm smile,
"Wha-", Melissa was startled by the sudden compliment, her face started to heat up as she wiped the faint of tear her eyes had mustered up.
"I know that look on your face, don't ever doubt yourself, I know you'll be the greatest hero the world has ever seen, even better than All Might. And don't ever compare yourself to anybody, regarding anything. Bakugo and the others had their whole life to get used to their quirk, you had really limited time, not to mention their goal was breaking the limits of their quirk, while yours were to put them. Once you control 'your' power you'll be a legend! You'll be the dazzling new Symbol of Peace and I'll be right by your side throughout it all!" What he didn't notice during his rambling was that Melissa had moved from her position and was now hugging him while slightly sobbing in his shoulders.
"Y-You really mean i-it?" she mumbled underneath her breath.
"I do" Melissa didn't know what had gotten into her, but she got a boost of confidence from his words, and she reached up and pecked his cheek with a quick kiss and despite being tired from Chiyo's quirk, bolted out of the room.
Izuku just stared flabbergasted by her sudden move, with a faint blush on his cheeks and a goofy grin on his face.
Melissa was running back to her room, 'I don't believe I just did that!', then a thought came to her mind, so instead she went to Momo's room.
Momo was reading her encyclopedia, when Melissa threw the door open and barged in,
"Hello? Is everything okay, glad to see your injuries have healed,but why do you look so flushed?" she closed her Encyclopedia and waited for her to calm down and speak.
"I-I did something stupid, I k-kissed Izuku...!" she confessed as she adjusted her glasses and sat down infront of her.
"WHAT!" Momo exclaimed as she internally screamed, 'Oh god, finally'
"I-It was just a peck on the cheek, I was wallowing in self doubt, and he comforted me, assured me of things I know I will achieve and teased me a little… and I don't know it just happened okay! I can't stop thinking about it, about him and me, ever since we started training I knew I felt something for him, it's just recently that I had been able to articulate my feelings, it's just what if he doesn't feel the same for me, and things will get awkward, we won't be able to remain friends, you'll have to choose one of us and-"
"Oh lord, stop!" she physically shook the girl out of her muttering spree, 'Maybe it is contagious' she mentally chuckled.
Melissa came back to reality and sighed, "What do I do now, one of us would bring it up, or the awkwardness will eat us alive. Please help me!"
"Of course I will! Now all you have to do is confess to him, I am sure he has the same feelings as you, you two are really obvious" and Momo declared.
Melissa was about to comply with enthusiasm when a thought shook her, "But what if he likes someone else, you know there is already a special someone who is practically living with him for a week ALONE! AND THEY HAVE THE SAME HOBBIES!"
Momo pinched the bridge of her nose, "How can you be this paranoid, he does not like anyone else, period. You just gotta take a leap of faith and jump into the unknowing together with him You have already made a move, you either wait or go for it."
Melissa felt better "Yes, you are right! I can do this, I will do it this weekend, it gives me a couple of days of what to think and say. You are really binging those love novels again aren't you"
Momo laughed, "You go girl! Is that how you say it, and yes I am."
They fell into their usual chatter soon enough, discussing today's battle trial, how Todoroki used his ice to cover up the entire building, how Kaminari electrocuted his own teammate and the fact that Izuku was practically dragged by Midnight and Present Mic for skipping their lessons.
A couple of hours and an insanely awkward dinner later.
Izuku was lying in his room staring at the ceiling, today was one heck of a day, first he had to go against two teams in battle trail, then he was embarrassingly dragged out of his class by his uncle and aunt, then he had to review each of the battles with his dad as his punishment to skip classes today. On the good side, he reunited with his old-best friend and apparently got kissed on the cheek by his best friend. It felt strangely nice, he was getting these rush of knew feelings towards Melissa for a while now, but now they were making sense to him.
'That's it! I am confessing to her this weekend, I can't jump around these for longer than I already have, I just hope she feels the same way…' he mentally declared.
With that thought he descended into darkness.
Of all the crazy things that had happened today, what he was about to experience didn't even hold a candle to any of them.
Izuku had fallen asleep and now he was standing in a void, the same void he was in when he first awakened his second quirk, but now he was not alone.
"Hello Izuku Midoriya, pleasure to meet you, but please, call me... All for One."
Before Izuku sat a man with fuzzy reddish-black mist for head, wearing a fancy suit, had a muscular stature and an intimidating voice. What really stood out about him was that he was sitting in what looked like a wooden chair and was bound to the chair by ropes and chains, he was somewhat trapped.
"Let's talk, shall we?"
