A/n: Readers! Psychojack here! Welcome back to Mineta the Mayhem! Things are getting completely out of hand as Harukaze has just taken on class 1A in a last ditch effort to kill Ayumu Endo, the remaining survivor of the recent city slaughter. It is up to Mineta, Momo, Mina and Midnight to stop Harukaze. Here it comes! The battle of their lives! Let the battle commence.

Harukaze's veins bulged in exertion and irritation as he was still confronted with four remaining heroes. His eyes were furrowed and taking a look at his now missing right hand, a permanent reminder etched in scar tissue. It still dripped blood, though not nearly as much as a normal hand would have. Being that it was made of chitin, perhaps it clotted faster.

Mineta stood in the front of the three heroines because his quirk was the only real line of defense they all had when considering the criminals' quirk. Harukaze's quirk had a variety of uses that made defense extremely difficult. His masterful understanding and usage of his own abilities enabled him to outmaneuver and flank most forms of defense. If you block with a shield he could easily propel himself to strike on your exposed flank. If you tried to catch him in a joint lock, the felon will intentionally dislocate his joint in order to make a strike with those razor sharp talons coming from his chitin coated limbs. There was also the fact that he was talented in both ground and aerial combat, and thus has a multitude of methods for taking down his opponent.

Mineta gulped. Though he hated to admit it, but amongst all the villains he's met thus far, Harukaze was the most unusual one. He was balanced in all stats. Strength wise, the guy was a powerhouse. Speed wise, the young trainee knew that his speed had potential to rise up close to Iida's considering the high speed chase they had with him earlier. His endurance was phenomenal, as was his ferocity and improvisation.

If Mineta didn't know any better, Harukaze was too well practiced.

Now with his arm missing, Mineta wasn't exactly sure how the Black Wind user would react. What strategies would he now utilize. Even with a missing limb, he was capable of rendering the likes of Aizawa unconscious.

'So here we are…Us four…'

Mineta looked at Harukaze, slowly uncurling his talons.

'...against him. If we don't get this right.'

Harukaze gazed from Mina to Momo to Midnight and finally to Mineta.

'He will kill us. Every last one of us.'

Mineta had perspiration running down his forehead. Crazy enough, despite his fight with Harukaze thus far, he felt anxious. He wasn't used to this kind of enemy, and the repercussions of failure were definitely on the forefront of his mind.

Momo looked at Mineta, noticing his unease. She gently grasped his slightly fidgeting hand.

Mineta broke out of his fear to notice the soothing caress of his hand.

"You're not alone in this fight. We can do this Mineta! Don't worry, I am at your side, no matter what." Momo said with a warm smile on her face.

Mineta's morale was practically restored from the encouragement coming from the beautiful creator. Mineta took in a deep breath, immediately solidifying his resolve.

Mineta looked towards Harukaze's position, gauging the four in front of him. He seemed analytical considering his desperation for air.

'He already has a plan set up for us. I know him well enough to know whatever you think, he'll have a counter.'

Mineta narrowed his eyes, as he took a sphere from his head and crushed it before molding it into a more solidified shape. It took on the shape of a shield.

'Which means…'

"Momo…I need you to be the brains from here on out. Okay?" Mineta said while keeping an eye on Harukaze.

Momo looked at Mineta. "What? But what about-"

"I'm trusting you here. I'll let you take over."

"What are you gonna do?"

Mineta grinned.

"Something stupid!"

Before sprinting forward at high speed, towards Harukaze.

Harukaze as well as the heroines were shocked that he would do something so unplanned, so careless and unlike his usual hit and run combat style. He was going in full force.

Harukaze immediately manipulated smoke into his stump that was his left hand to shape it into a black smoke hand, with its own talons. He swung to intercept Mineta while he was in his rush.

CLANG

The talons made contact with Mineta's shield. The problem was that it didn't stick.

'I knew it! He's gonna need his smoke to avoid being glued to my spheres. If that's the case, then let him focus his eyes on me!'

Mineta and Harukaze engaged in a melee oriented confrontation. His smoke talons would clang against Mineta's grape buckler, Mineta constantly using his agility to try to stick Harukaze to a sphere. Harukaze would use a small tornado or an air cannon to keep Mineta from doing so. When Harukaze gained distance via a smoke thrust, Mineta would follow with a high speed bounce from a sphere and continue to trade blows.

Momo was fearful for Mineta's safety, as he was currently running straight into the frontline..

Momo was feeling a bit anxious herself. What did Mineta expect her to do.

That's when she saw it.

Mineta's scalp was bleeding.

'Oh no! His scalp is bleeding! His quirk has already been pushed to its limits from the entire fight! It's no wonder he went forward. He knows he cannot utilize his spheres strategy wise. But…what do I do?' Momo desperately thought for an answer.

Momo gasped as she saw it on her feet.

Four grape spheres.

She looked around her, and noticed on each unconscious hero, laid a single sphere.

Mineta had a plan.

For everyone to survive whatever crazy plan the creator conjured up.

'I understand Mineta! I won't let you down!'

Momo felt her determination grow.

She thought of several plans already. She looked at Mina and Midnight.

She grabbed two spheres and tossed one to Midnight.

Midnight looked on in confusion at the sphere.

"W-what am I supposed to do with this?"

Momo looked towards Mineta. His constant trading of blows was intense, but futile as Harukaze easily dodged and outmaneuvered him.

Mineta took a glance at Momo, his eyes became razor sharp.

The spheres exploded into grape jam, sealing around Momo's and Midnight's mouths. They molded rapidly, exploring and seemingly strapping against their limbs.

The same happened with all the currently out of commission heroes.

"Oh my! Such sensations! It's oozing all around me! Such euphoric caresses are driving me wild!" Midnight said in sensuous bliss.

Momo sweatdropped and noticed that the jam had covered them from head to toe in what appears to be jam bodysuits. Their hair was also contained in this bodysuit by the jam. It took perfect shapes for their respective bodies. Their faces were also covered in gas mask like shapes, enabling the women to breathe.

SPECIAL MOVE: JAM ARMOR

Momo had to think fast. A thought came to her mind. She looked at the shield she used earlier and then at Mina.

"Mina!" She called out as she put a third sphere onto her shield.

Mina widened her eyes. She jumped and used the shield as a jumping start, the control of Mineta's sphere enabled Momo to bounce the exotic pink heroine upwards about a few dozen feet midair.

"Mineta, Momo! I hope you know what you're doing! Here I go!" The pink girl let out before spinning midair, unleashing a sprinkling volley of her acid in a large radius.

Harukaze noticed the large veil of acid pouring outward in a tidal wave outwards from the midair pink girl.

Mineta took his grape buckler and remolded it, his shield elongating a few feet before stopping. It was long and thin, and yet sturdy. It wasn't a shield like before, it was a bostaff.

Mineta smiled before striking with a razor sharp look in his eye.

Harukaze was hit across the face with the high density weapon. His body ragdolled against the mud.

He couldn't stop Mina from raining down her tsunami of acid atop of him and the half pint hero. He attempted to escape the sinkhole.

Mineta used the same bostaff and threw it with razor sharp accuracy.

It stabbed through Harukaze's left shoulder, causing him to fall back into the sinkhole.

SPECIAL MOVE: JAM JAVELIN!

The grape javelin was pulled out via Harukaze's smoke on his left arm, preventing the tool from sticking to him.

Upwards however the acid torrent was about to land on them both.

Harukaze thrusted towards Momo and Midnight, as it was his only means of avoiding the acid rain. A large portion of it landed near Mineta's position.

"Mineta!" Momo screamed in worry. Her eyes were watering since the acid tidal wave landed on Mineta.

Momo refocused, forcing herself into moving on. She would do this for the little hero.

"Midnight! Now!" Momo let out as the pro hero shot out her Somnambulist quirk. Pink smoke released from her pores before she took her whip and spun it like a copter. The speed and velocity, combined with Midnight's strength enabled her to spread her quirk outward straight into Harukaze.

Midnight let out a grin as Harukaze's eyes widened, his eyes becoming sleepy now. His attempts at thrusting were rendered sloppy as he was taking a face full of the sleep inducing aroma.

He landed on his knees right in front of the three female heroes, his eyes heavy as he was completely exposed to the quirk. Being that he was exposed to the quirk multiple times throughout the length of this fight, he was now suffering its effects, even with the jam blocking his nostrils and mouth.

Whether Mineta planned this or not, this muzzle he was attached to enabled Midnight's quirk to slip through, while preventing his own from slipping out.

Momo immediately conjured a rope from her body, one made of steel chain to wrap the felon with.

At the last possible second, Harukaze intentionally dropped and placed his smoke covered hands onto his legs and spun upside down in a breakdance inspired 360 degree motion. This caused a tornado to launch outward from his legs and propel all three women upwards and away from him, launching them away from the sinkhole in the process, whilst also keeping the droplets of acid far from his person.

Harukaze was out of air and his eyes were droopy.

He was on his knees, atop a lone pit of land amidst the sinkhole now filled with acid water, melting along its way.

Harukaze looked around, no heroes were among the acid.

The young heroes' plan was a failure in the end.

SPLASH

Harukaze looked upwards, shock filled his pure black eyes at the source of the sound of something emanating from the acid ravine.

A silhouette blocked the now undarkened sky. With Harukaze now weak, his quirk no longer blocked the solar rays of the sun. It poured through the once pitch black abyss of rain and thunder, giving rise to the day ahead.

For Harukaze he didn't care for the sun. It was the silhouette that leaped in front of it.

It was small, it was barely the size of a child. A meager and near pathetic size for one to challenge him. In this sight however, it was a size that would bring his due justice. Sleek and a royal purple, that within this sun appeared as black as shadow. Steam emanated from this being, as acid burned against the skin of the one who still had enough fight in him to pursue the felon. Despite the burning steam, the figure remained undeterred. His cape is still flowing, but a thick scaled purple as opposed to the yellow that it was before.

As the figure launched forward towards Harukaze, the criminal was able to see in close up. The once unassuming boy, held narrowed eyes. His dark purple irises held a glow that shone through the shadow that blocked the sun. His face couldn't be deciphered as it was covered in a thick plated mask. It served as a mouth protector, as steam emanated from it, oxygen pouring out along with the burning residue of acid.

It was Mineta, and his body was coated in his jam, now remodeled as his armor for his war with Harukaze.

SPECIAL MOVE: JAM ARMOR

Mineta dived downward and pulled two spheres from his scalp. Despite bleeding from his scalp, he continued onward. His eyes focused, red cracks prominent in his determination.

Harukaze pulled his stump and poured all of his smoke into his strike. Talons extended and as black as night. He rose from his kneeled position. He wouldn't bow to this figure. He couldn't focus enough to shoot out an air cannon or a miniature tornado due to his sleep filled mind.

Mineta placed one sphere onto the soles of his feet and

WHOOSH

Bounced himself midair like a cannon right onto the floor in front of Harukaze, landing on his legs. The felon not having enough time to notice the speed. With the rain gone, his sight was heavily obscured.

With the other sphere, Mineta reshaped it into a bo staff. He swung towards Harukaze's direction. As the felon attempted to block, the staff shrunk at the last second, slipping through Harukaze's attempt at blocking the strike. It went to the side of his right extended knee cap before the tip of the staff remolded into a sledgehammer.

CRACK

The sledgehammer shattered the criminal's right knee cap, bending it in the reverse direction.

Harukaze was filled with agony and pain, his voice muffled as he let out a pain filled scream at his leg being broken by the dense weapon that the little hero wielded.

Harukaze's smoke dissipated completely, his focus shattered to the point that the majority of smoke left available to him left from his person, rushing to the skies far from his touch.

Mineta used another sphere to block a claw strike from Harukaze as he realigned his knee cap. He kicked Mineta with his fixed leg, Mineta grunting under his mask. The hero and villain stood atop the bit of land in the middle of this arena of acid.

Mineta's staff split into two as he molded the split pieces into two big oversized slime fists. His eyes were drooping into unconsciousness as Mineta was already past his limit.

Harukaze stood to rise to the challenge. Hero and villain. Good and evil. Win or lose.

This was how their fight would be decided.

Harukaze dashed with the last bit of his speed and swung a strike towards Mineta, the remaining bit of smoke extending a lone claw on his right hand.

Mineta blocked it with his left slime fist. Harukaze then did a sweep kick, the smoke on his fingertip, channeled into his left foot, causing a sickle shaped black strike to emanate from his sweep and disarm Mineta's left arm of his slime.

Mineta was then punched by Harukaze, his chitin arm crushing against his face. Mineta retaliated, his right slime fist bulldozing against Harukaze's cranium. Harukaze struck back with his stump against Mineta's right side of his face, Mineta pushing though his desire to fall unconscious as he struck Harukaze in the ribs.

Harukaze gasped within his muzzle before trying to strike again, Mineta dodged and struck again with the slime fist. Again and again his strikes went, decimating Harukaze's left side into his ribs, on top of where a massive number of scarred flesh were. Harukaze attempted to breath but was suffocating, kneeling from the multitude of heavy blows.

Mineta shaped the fist into a staff and hit against Harukaze's gut in a bludgeoned strike, causing him to collapse to his knees as the air was knocked out of him. His body had bruises from blows he took.

Harukaze kicked Mineta, clawing his chest. Mineta dropped his slime fist into the acid water. Harukaze attempted to rise and finish Mineta off.

Mineta then ripped off a multitude of grape spheres from his scalp, blood gushing through in irritation and overuse.

The grape spheres study to his entire person as Mineta ran all the way behind Harukaze.

Harukaze attempted to look behind him, but was stuck by all the spheres.

SPECIAL MOVE: GRAPE RUSH!

Mineta pulled one last sphere and spun around and struck it against Harukaze's back with his right hand. All the spheres inflated against Harukaze's body. All the inflated spheres crushed against his limbs, practically stiffening them in their sticky grip. They kept inflating, becoming crushingly tight against his person. Mineta's arm was also inside the group of inflating grapes.

Mineta focused.

All the heroes under the acid were shot upwards away from the sinkhole, protected by Mineta's jam armor albeit steaming from overuse. When all the heroes within the sinkhole were safe from the sinkhole every single bit of jam went towards Mineta and Harukaze's position. They went towards Harukaze and wrapped him in a large dome of grape matter, the epicenter being Mineta's right arm.

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

A great many explosions could be heard within the grape dome as the large inflating grapes continued inflating until they pooped like balloons, the velocity and pressure serving as intense bludgeoning blows against his limbs, his arms limp from the intense blows.

Inside the dome, Harukaze felt like pudding. His body was done, but shakily standing, on the verge of tipping over.

Mineta slipped through the dome, the last sphere he could force out from his person being extended as a jam fist. He swung forward with his left arm, while doing so, the walls of the dome extended a barrage of slime fists, staffs, sledgehammers and exploding inflating grapes.

BAM BOOM KAPOW!

The dome eventually exploded, Mineta's back turned from Harukaze as his purple jam scaled cape wrapped around him like a cloak. The dome had exploded in a purple almost flame like explosion. Purple embers could be seen evaporating from the jam used for Mineta's onslaught. His mask was still in place, although Mineta was exhausted.

He let out his arms out roaring in victory in the hardest fought battle of his young life. His voice echoed against the sky, a roar of pride, for all to know the voice of the victor.

SPECIAL MOVE: MAYHEM!

The armament he wore evaporated like the rest of the jam, purple embers glowing off of his person and disintegrating, leaving Mineta back to his normal outfit. The mask merely slipped off his face.

Mineta's vision was darkening, he used up so many spheres that unconsciousness was the least of his worries. He fell to his knees.

He was in a fetal position.

'I think…I think this is all I can do…'

Mineta turned and picked up a sphere from his head and threw it on Harukaze, commanding it to wrap around him, head to toe like a mummy as Harukaze was unconscious from the storm of blows he endured. His body was stuff and helpless now.

"Hah! M-mission accomplished!" Mineta said with an exhausted tone. He had won the battle.

He struggled to look upwards as his muscles burned from the strain he placed on his body. He saw Momo, Mina, Midnight as well as some task force officers on their way to his position. Deku and even Mountain Lady could be seen coming, albeit limping over.

"Hey guys!...I…I did it!"

SPLATTER

"So…Someone…please…tie…tie him up" Mineta gasped as his skin was pale. His scalp was bleeding intensely, without stopping. He never felt this sensation of drainage in bis body before. Then again, he never used his spheres so much when he was at his limit before.

"Oh my god! Mineta!" A voice called out. His vision was blurry.

"…I…Momo…" Mineta let out as he collapsed against the ground, blood running from his mouth.

"Mineta! I'm coming!" The voice called out.

"I…never got your answer…I…" Mineta gasped out, noticing that his right arm was bruised in many places due to his move. His eyes watered, but it was slightly tinted red.

"You're gonna be…! ….hold on!" A muffled voice could be heard trying to console him. He couldn't hear it perfectly though.

He felt his body burn from the inside. It hurt like hell.

"Am I…" Mineta said before his vision completely blackened as his eyes closed.

…a better hero…Momo?…"

CHAPTER END
