Aerolynn
Boom. Boom. Things we're exploding around her left and right. Her head run like a bell, and her vison was blurry. Smoke and debris filled the air, making it hard for her to see or breathe. Aerolynn groaned and sat up slowly.
Just as she was about to get up she felt a hand snake around her leg, jolting her. She looked down and saw that her shoe was glowing. Aerolynn gulped. Crap. She quickly kicked off her shoe just as it exploded, sending burning pieces of leather everywhere.
"You think you're so clever, don't you?" Land Mine said.
He moved from the smoke swiftly. A bright grin on his face. "I'll blow you to smithereens."
He reached out his hand, preparing to touch Aerolynn. Before she could even react, Jake leaped from the ashes and charged at Land Mine. The boy grunted as he punched the villain in the face. Land Mine groaned in pain before stumbling back.
Aerolynn sighed in relief. She never thought she would be so happy to see Jake. As she watched the boy, she noticed his muscles shrink slightly. Oh fuck his quirk was wearing off. How long had it been since he ate?
"Cheap shot." Land Mine wheezed.
"A hit is a hit." Jake yelled.
He swung his fist again, aiming for Land Mine's stomach, but the villain rolled out of the way quickly. He smirked and grabbed Jake's arm. "Say bye- bye!"
Reacting on instinct, Aerolynn held up her hands and created a giant glowing word: Blind!
Land Mine growled and turned away from the light, letting Jake's arm go in the process. Aeroylnn frowned. He had a chance to blow Jake up right then and there, what was different from earlier?
Aerolynn held out her palms and this time created a sentence: You aren't going anywhere
She gulped when she realized Jake was shirking again. Their eyes made contact and both of their faces dropped. How long could this keep this up for? Jake's height and muscles were slowly shrinking, and Aerolynn's lungs were filled with smoke. They wouldn't be able to last long. How could they fight a villain they couldn't let touch them?
By not giving him a chance to, Aerolynn realized. She ran to Jake and held her hands up. I have a plan. I'll distract him, and while I do you break his fingers. He needs to touch an object with all of his fingers to make it explode.
Jake sighed. "I don't know if I have enough strength in me to do that."
Aerolynn sighed. Either that or we die.
With that she charged.
Victoria
Victoria dodged a swipe from Quirk Killer's knife. Victoria frowned as she tried to diagnose what quirk he had. He was abnormally fast and had a great aim. A speed quirk?
"I love seeing your little wheels spinning." He laughed.
He thrusted his blade towards Victoria's stomach, which she blocked with her own knife. Victoria growled and used her free arm to elbow him the face. With remarkable speed, he grabbed her arm and twisted it forcefully.
Victoria screamed in pain. Fuck, was her arm broken?
"Not so powerful without full use of your quirk, are you?" He asked you.
Victoria growled and slashed his cheek, tearing through his mask. The man howled in pain, however it almost sounded like a moan.
"You're crazy," She said.
"I'm crazy? Why does everyone call me crazy? Am I crazy because I hate people like you?" He snarled.
He leaped towards Victoria who did a summersault backwards, jumping out of the way of danger.
"You hate black people?" Victoria asked.
"No, I hate entitled people who think their quirks make them gods!" He cackled.
He charged his knife pointed to her heart. Victoria growled and grabbed his wrist and flipped him, his body slamming against the ground roughly. Suddenly it clicked. His codename, Quirk Killer. She was looking at the situation all wrong. He was just a skilled fighter; he didn't have a quirk. He was quirk less. Victoria smiled. Suddenly she knew how she was going to win this.
The moment she took to think was all he needed to bounce back off the floor and deliver a powerful roundhouse kick to her jaw. Victoria screamed in pain and fell backward. Her arm was probably broken, she lost her knives, and her jaw felt like it was on fire. How could someone without a quirk take on someone as strong as her?
"You're insecure," Victoria said.
He snarled and threw one of his knives. Victoria rolled out of the way as it embedded itself on the floor behind her.
"Growing up in our society, people treated you like were worthless. All because you don't have a quirk. They made you think you weren't special." Victoria said calmly.
He laughed and charged; his knife outstretched. "Do you think you can analyze me!"
"Let me guess, you hate me because I remind you of people that bullied you, judging by your lack of empathy I'm sure you killed before. Did you kill your bullies? Let me guess it didn't feel as good as you thought did it? You still wanted to fill the void." Victoria said.
She dodged another punch he threw at her. Victoria smiled. He was getting sloppy. She upper cutted him in the jaw, causing him to yelp in pain.
"Revenge is scientifically proven not to make us feel better. It doesn't change the fact that you're a scared little boy just looking for someone to think he's special." Victoria said with a mock sense of sympathy.
He growled. "Shut up."
"Let me guess, you love someone. What's her name? Or perhaps it's a him." Victoria said.
He tensed, when she said him. She laughed. "Poor boy, quirkless and confused about his sexuality."
"I'm not confused, I know what I like and who I like." He hissed.
"But I'm sure there's still that insecurity that they will won't love you back. Because you're quirkless, because you're a boy, because you aren't good enough!" Victoria yelled.
With that she leaped up and did a flip landing behind him. He growled and charged towards her.
"Do you think! I won't kill you! We aren't in the darkness, no shadows for you to use!" He hissed.
Victoria smiled. She struck a nerve. He was angry. If you could trigger emotion in a psychopath, that meant you already had a leg up over them.
"You said you read my file, but you clearly didn't if you didn't know one thing about me." Victoria chuckled.
"And what is that?" He hissed.
Victoria held up her hands, the lights above her exploded, sparks flying everywhere. Her irises turned pitch black as she smirked. Black mist twirled around her fingertips causing her to grin. It had been so long since she felt a shadow. She was consuming the light, leaving only darkness.
"How are you doing this?" He gasped.
"My quirk isn't just using darkness. I am the darkness." She said.
With that two black tendrils shot out of her cloud of shadows and impaled Quirk Killer in his chest causing him to scream in pain.
"Don't worry I missed all of your vital organs, and you won't bleed to death. However, you will soon pass out from the pain in 3, 2-"
Before she could even count to one he passed out causing her to smirk. "Don't fuck with Victoria Crown."
Jake
Aerolynn dove quickly, moving with the agility of a house cat. She swung her fist, a punch aiming for Land Mine's jaw. He growled and rolled out of the way. Aerolynn anticipated this and used the elbow of her other arm to strike him the stomach.
"You deaf bitch." He growled.
Aeorlynn growled. I'm Mute!
The bright letters shot out at Land Mine, however, he seemed to be prepared he rolled under the letters and kicked Aerolynn in the chest, causing the girl to yelp.
Jake frowned; he couldn't let him hurt her. He frowned, how was he going to power up? He couldn't eat anything. Jake looked down at the ground and saw a rock. He groaned. Was that his only option? Jake looked at Aerolynn fighting Land Mine and sighed.
"Put your selfishness aside, and do it for Aerolynn." He said to himself.
He picked up a rock and swallowed it whole. He wanted to vomit as it scratched the insides of his mouth and made his tongue taste like lead. Slowly it made it's way to the shredder in the back of his throat. Jake, with a new surge of energy, turned and ate the next rock. And the next one. And the next one.
His body felt like he drank twenty cups of coffee, he slowly started to grow until he was almost seven feet and his muscles threatened to rip his shirt open. Jake saw Land Mine's back was to him and took this an opportunity to charge.
He took off in a sprint, the added boost making him as fast an Olympic athlete. He leaped up in the air and grabbed Land Mine's fingers. Land Mine looked up, but by the time he could process what was happening it was too late, Jake already roughly twisted his fingers shattering every bone in his hand. The villain screamed in pain and fell backward.
While he was done, Aeorlynn summoned another bright sign: Jake now!
Following her lead, he opened his mouth and burped. Only it wasn't just a burp that came out, what's he opened his mouth a fiery blast of orange energy shot towards Land Mine. The impact of the blast made his head fly back and made the villain descend into unconsciousness.
Jake sighed in relief. It was over. He looked up and saw Aerolynn running towards him. With great strength, she managed to pull him in for a big hug.
"Woah there, didn't think you would be so happy to see me." He chuckled.
We did it! She said.
"You're buying me burgers after this, I had to eat rocks to go through with your plan." He huffed.
Well it worked. She smirked.
Jake smiled. "It did, I'll give you that. If we survive this, do you maybe want to go see a movie or something."
Aerolynn's face dropped. She looked away awkwardly. Jake you know I'm a lesbian right?
Jake coughed awkwardly. He did not know that. He blushed before smirking.
"Of course I did, I have awesome gaydar, that doesn't mean we can't see a movie together. I have tons of gay friends." He lied.
Aerolynn laughed. Let's get the hell out of here and I'll take you on that offer. After I buy you cheese burgers of course.
The two teens took off in a sprint, Jake smiled. There might be more villains in the Church, but now he felt confident. They were able to take one down, they could handle the others.
"Let's kick some ass." He grinned.
Sarah
God if you're real please don't let this chick kill me. This was the only prayer Sarah had in her mind as she dodged an attack from Addy. Addy laughed as she did reckless kicks to Sarah's body. It was clear Addy didn't have a strategy; she was fighting just because it felt good.
"You're crazy, you know that?" Sarah grunted as she punched the girl in the throat.
Addy yelped in pain and stumbled back. "Cheap shot." She pouted.
"My mommy used to call me crazy. I took care of her to!" She laughed.
She leaped up in the air and disappeared again. Sarah gulped, she had some kind of teleportation quirk. Sarah looked around, bracing herself for the girl's appearance. Soon the pink cloud reappeared on her shoulder and before she could react, Addy materialized and dropped down on Sarah's shoulder causing her to fall to the ground.
How could she slow her down, she was moving so fast?
"Tell me more about your mother, I bet she was ashamed to have a lunatic like you for a daughter," Sarah hissed.
She needed time. Time to figure out how to use her quirk. Time to make sure this crazy girl didn't kill her.
"My mommy was selfish, but I loved her anyway." Addy sighed.
She threw a kick at Sarah which the girl dodged. Sarah held up her hands to stop her, but with another jump into the air she was gone again.
She reappeared behind Sarah, kicking her feet out from underneath her. Sarah yelped and fell to the ground. Addy sighed.
"She told me she loved me, she told me we would be a family! Then she got married and left me! She gave all of her love to him, and left me to rot!" Addy howled.
She leaned down to Sarah. "Do you know what it feels like to feel unwanted?"
Sarah growled and spat in the girl's face. "You have no fucking idea."
Addy sighed and wiped the spit off of her face. "You aren't a good girl, I thought we could be friends."
"Is that why you're working with Cyrus? Is he your friend? Are your daddy issues that bad you need to follow some old dude around like a lost puppy?" Sarah asked.
Addy raised an eyebrow. "Could say the same about you. A little birdy told me you're obsessed with Matthew Freeman."
Sarah's face dropped. "How did you know that?"
"We know everything about you. Everything about all of you!" She laughed.
"Know this bitch," Sarah grunted and thrusted her knee to the girl's genitalia.
Addy's face widened in pain and screamed, while Sarah grinned. Addy stumbled back and growled.
"That wasn't very nice." She hissed.
"You said you know everything about me? Well the one thing Sarah Smith is not, is nice. You wanted the bitch, you got her!" Sarah hissed.
Addy charged, Sarah held out her hand getting ready to slow her down when the girl leaped into the air and vanished again. Sarah groaned. She was really getting tired of this. What would Matt do? He was smart. She smirked, that was it. She was thinking of how she could use her quirk against Addy, but she really needed to be using her brain.
She paused trying to think about what she knew about Addy. A mentally unstable girl with mommy issues, reckless, doesn't think much of consequences, child-like façade. Sarah made a checklist of all of her personality traits. Sarah stopped when she got to her quirk. She was a teleporter, but she had to have something unique. Even common quirks had a personalized twist on them.
Sarah thought to every time she teleported. She gasped in realization. Every time Addy teleported, she jumped into the air. There had to be a reason for that right? Perhaps the girl couldn't teleport if she was on the ground. She had to be airborne. Sarah smirked; she might finally have a plan.
Just as she thought of this Addy reappeared and swung her fist, Sarah held up her hand in defense. Then something surprising happened, Addy's fist slowed down. That wasn't the surprising part that was part of her quirk, but just her fist slowed down. Sarah frowned, she had never been able to slow down parts of something before.
"What the hell are you doing?" Addy growled.
The rest of her body was moving at a quick pace, while her arm traveled slowly. Sarah smirk and put her hand down and her arm caught up with the rest of her body, causing Addy to trip and fall on her face. Sarah smirked.
"Well guess I leveled up," Sarah said.
Addy smirked playfully and leaped up. "It likes you're having fun playing this game."
Sarah looked at her foot and concentrated. Sarah looked up and smirked. "Now we're playing my game."
Addy tried to take off in a sprint but her leg wouldn't move. Addy frowned and looked down at her foot.
"It's not moving." She hissed.
Sarah smiled. "Honey, I may be blond but I'm not stupid."
Addy
Quirk: Airborne Teleportation- Addy has the ability to teleport, but only if she is in motion.
Sarah took off in a sprint and kicked Addy in her jaw. Her head flying backward, the girl falling unconscious.
"That was impressive." A voice said.
Sarah turned around to see Victoria watching her with an observant eye.
"You were standing the entire time! You could have helped me!" Sarah hissed.
Victoria raised an eyebrow. "It seemed like you had it under control, would you want me to have taken away a learning experience from you?"
"Yes! That girl was crazy, she could have killed me!" Sarah hissed.
"I had faith in you, why didn't you?" Victoria questioned.
Sarah crossed her arms. She had faith in herself, didn't she? That was ridiculous for Victoria to insinuate she didn't believe in herself.
"Come on let's just find Matt and the others and get out of here, before I have to kill one of these crazy bitches," Sarah said.
Victoria held up her hand black shadows wrapping around her fingers as she created a katana.
"Let's go." She said.
