Chapter Six

The Squire of Knights

"Okay...I-I'm done making the liquid metal that you needed." Momo said as she kneeled down onto the ground while panting. "This is something I don't think I'll be doing anytime soon. Lucky for us, this place has barrels off to the side for me to put this stuff in."

"Thanks, I'll pay you back once this is over." Lily said before handing Momo three bags of chips she brought with her. "Now, time to get to work." She said before placing her hands into the barrels filled with the liquid metal. Upon doing that, the magic circuits in her arms began to glow as the liquid metal began to shake. "Fervor, mei sanguis."

"What are you-" Before Momo could ask her question, the liquid metal within the barrels slowly began to move on its own as it formed into ball forms with bunny ears, cottontails and adorable cartoon faces on them. "What on earth did you just do!?"

"Oh, um...just something I can do thanks to my quirk?" Lily said, trying to play it off like it was nothing. She wasn't much of a fan of lying, but how can you explain that you have a goddess that taught you magecraft in a world that has never seen or used magecraft before. Once the liquid metal took form, she backed away from the two and looked over at Momo. "Listen up you two. You two will follow Momo's orders until I give the order, Hydrargyrum. Also, no killing. Got it?" She asked as the liquid metal bunnies nodded. "Good, that's what I like to hear."

"Wait, you're giving me control over these...things?"

"Yep. Tell them what to do and they'll follow it."

"A-Are you sure about this? I mean, isn't this...well you quirk to command. Why would you give me something like this when you can just do it yourself?"

"This is a team training session. We work together to reach the objective. I'm giving you my friends because Iida or Bakugo will ignore me, and go after the bomb we're protecting. Plus you're like the brains of the classroom given how you answered almost every math question from that ghost skeleton dude." Lily said as she grins. "Win or lose, I have faith in you." Momo blinked upon hearing Lily's answer as an emotion of both pride and embarrassment started to well up into her chest as a blush appeared on her face. "You okay?"

"Y-Yes, I'm okay." Momo said while trying to hold back her own tears. "S-So all I have to do is just give them an order and they'll do it?"

"Yep! It's as simple as riding a bike. While you do that, I'm going to see if I can stop Bakugo or Iida." The bunny girl said before walking a few steps away from Momo

"W-Wait, don't you need a weapon of some kind?"

"Already got one!" Lily said while raising her fist up into the air before leaving. Momo blinked upon seeing her doing that as her mind began to wonder.

"Lily Lilac...just who are you and what are you hiding?" Momo thought before turning her attention onto the automata metal bunnies. "Okay...Um...As your um...current owner. I order you two to defend the bomb from anyone that tries to touch it besides Lily and I, understood?" she ordered as they both formed into a pool of liquid underneath the bomb as it waited. "...This is very weird." While Momo was busy trying to figure out how the automata beings worked, Class-1A along with All Might were taken by surprise by what was going on on Lily and Momo's side.

"Okay, I didn't know she could do something like that?" Kaminari said as he looked over at All Might. "Is what she is doing even allowed?"

"W-Well, technically she's on the villain side so it should be a surprise that she would do something like this. Though it does show some quick thinking on Lily's part."

"Make you wonder what else she had hiding inside that tail of hers." Tsuyu said, which made All Might make a mental note to confront Lily to see if she's carrying anything dangerous.

"What I'm curious about is how Lily's able to make those weird metal rabbit things out of that liquid stuff." Midoriya said as he began writing down some notes. "Is her quirk metal manipulation?"

"What is her quirk anyway?" Krishima asked. "She didn't really give much on who she was other than what she said this morning."

"I'll be sure to stop the match if anything goes wrong. Until then, watch and take notes. Because after they're done, another team will be up next for both hero and villain teams." All Might said before he and the students turned their attention onto the screen as Lily was making her way towards team Bakugo and Iida

"Got a fix on where they are, Artoira?" Lily asked while making her way up a rocky mountain as she scanned the area.

"Look down. They're a few feet away from where you were running." The Grand Servant said as Lily grinned. "You have a plan, right?"

"For the most part. I'm planning on taking out Bakugo. Momo and the bunnies can handle Iida if she orders them to stay near the bomb."

"Not really a good plan, but it's up to you how this plays out." She said as she watched Lily jump off of the mountain of rocks she was on and land in front of Iida and Bakugo. Iida was taken by surprise by Lily's sudden appearance, though Bakugo was unfazed by her grand entrance as he glared at her.

"Never thought I'd be facing you two punks. Guess fate really must be on my side to get the chance to kick your asses." She said while cracking her knuckles.

"You, kick our asses?" Bakugo said as he scoffed at her claim. "If anyone who's going to get their asses kicked, it's going to be yours villain." He said before looking over at Iida. "Get out of here four-eyes. This one's mine."

"You can't be serious? We're supposed to work together during this exercise." Iida said as it caused Bakugo to glare at him.

"I SAID GET OUT OF HER FOUR-EYES! I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP TAKING DOWN A VILLAIN LIKE HER!" Bakugo yelled as it caused Iida to flinch from Bakugo's yelling. He then turned his attention onto Lily for a moment before looking back at Bakugo with an annoyed sigh and left to take care of the bomb.

"Big mistake on your part. Had you let him fight alongside you, you might be able to take me down."

"Like I need an extra to take down a villain like you. You're looking at the next number one hero who's going to be bigger and more famous than All Might!" He yelled before bringing his hands back and launched himself forward towards Lily with the help of his explosion quirk. Once he was close, he brought his right arm up to perform a haymaker towards her face.

Lily's eyes began to glow for a moment as she moved her head to the side to avoid his attack. She soon counters by grabbing his arm, turns herself around, and quickly slams him onto the ground on his back as he lets out a gasp of air from having the wind knocked out of him.

"Bit of a heads up. Never start your move out with a haymaker. Leave you open for someone to counterattack like what I just did." She said before backing away from the body and getting into a boxing stance. Bakugo quickly pulls himself up from the ground and charges at her. Once he was close again, he delivered a strong kick to her head. The pseudo-servant quickly brought her arm up to block the kick. She soon turned her attention onto Bakugo's upper body to see that he was about to deliver a point blank explosion to her face from the small explosions she saw in his hand. She quickly backed away from Bakugo as his attack missed, which in turn gave Lily the opening to lunge herself towards Bakugo and deliver a strong right hook to his liver. "And never leave yourself open unless you can do a better job dodging in midair!" Bakugo lets out another gasp of air from the blow to his liver as he was sent bouncing off the ground and tumbling away from Lily.

"Nice job on holding back your strength. But wouldn't it be better if you take him out in one shot?" Artoria asked as Lily shook her head.

"No, not yet. This guy has too much pride in him. And I don't mean the good kind that would be funny." Lily said mentally as she watched Bakugo stagger to his feet. "From the moment I laid eyes on him, I knew he was some kind of punk ass who thinks he was hot shit. And if him calling Iida an extra wasn't a clear sign, him thinking I'm just a weak villain was the icing on the cake."

"So you're going to give him a reality check that there are stronger people out there and he's nothing special?" Artoria asked as Lily nodded. "Bold move on your part, but doing this might backfire on you later on down the road."

"I'll just say it's part of my quirk or something. These idiot heroes will believe almost anything." She said before turning her attention onto Bakugo. "What's the matter mister soon to be number one hero? I thought you were stronger than that, or were you all talk and no bark little puppy~"

"Don't you dare mock me, villain!" He yelled before launching himself towards Lily. Just as she was about to deliver a punch to his face, he quickly brought his hand in front of him to create a smokescreen with his explosion quirk. Lily closed her eyes from the smokescreen as he went over the bunny girl and was about to blast her from behind, only for Lily to quickly turn around and back hand's Bakugo's arms to the side as the blast missed her. Bakugo's eyes widened upon seeing this as he was sent tumbling off to the side by Lily kicking him in the face.

"I'll give you credit for that little trick. That would've worked for someone who has no combat awareness. But sadly I'm not like most people are. I've been fighting to survive the streets of Musutafu for the past ten years of my life. Learning how to fight on my own, surviving by eating nothing by rats and wild dogs, and killing villains that would do horrible unspeakable things to me! And you, a punk ass bitch who lived an easy life who thinks he can become a hero to gain fame and money! Don't make me laugh. You don't deserve to be called a hero in this weak society of wanna be heroes!"

"S-Shut up! Like I give a damn about where you come from. You're just a stupid extra who's in my way." He said as Lily noticed both of his gauntlets glow red for a second as he grins. "You think you know me just like that? You don't know anything about me, you damn villain!" Bakugo brought his hands up towards Lily before placing his teeth on the pins attached to them. "NOW DIE!" He yelled before pulling the pins off of his grenade shaped gauntlets as a giant explosion blast quickly headed towards Lily. The magic circuits in her arms and parts of her body began to glow as she quickly brought her arms up to block the oncoming blast as it made contact with the bunny girl. Another explosion was made due to the blast making contact with Lily as she was engulfed in the smoke made from the explosion. "How do you like that!? I can store enough sweat within these gauntlets to unleash an even more powerful version of my explosion!"

"Bakugo! What do you think you're doing!? I get you want to win this, but this is going overboard!" All Might yelled as it caused Bakugo to growl in annoyance.

"She's not dead. I made sure the blast wasn't enough to kill her. She's out of the fight anyway so you can just take her to- '' Before he could finish a burst of wind erupted from the cloud of smoke as it was heading towards Bakugo and sent him flying into a nearby wall. A gasp of air escaped Bakugo's mouth before going into a fit of coughing after being sent flying into the wall and falling onto the ground.

"Not going to lie. That took me by surprise." Lily said as she made her way out of the cloud of smoke. Bakugo slowly looks up to see Lily heading walking towards him before stopping a few feet away from him. His eyes widened upon seeing the bunny girl's new attire. Instead of the punky school girl outfit she came into the field in. She was wearing knight's armor around her hands, chest, and legs, a dark blue shirt underneath the chest armor, dark blue color clothing hanging in front and behind. He soon noticed that she was holding some kind of weapon in her hand, but couldn't tell what it was. A sword, axe, pole? I couldn't tell what it was, but he knew it was a weapon of some kind. "But don't think that's going to stop me from winning this fight."

"H-How the hell are you still standing?" Bakugo asks as he staggers to his feet by using the wall to help him up.

"I told you before. I've been fighting and training for the past ten years on the streets of Musutafu. Through pain, effort, and determination. I've pushed myself to the point of almost killing myself to be this strong." Lily answered before getting into a plow guard stance with her sword placed in both hands and aimed it at Bakugo. "Now come, mongrel. Let's see who will win this battle."
