SERO

"How long can you stretch out your tape?" Kaminari asked.

Sero checked his elbows. "You know, I have no idea."

Izuku scanned the tape. "Calculating maximum length." After a short pause, Izuku said, "Calculations insufficient. Performing field test."

"Wait, hold on, what are you-"

Before Sero could protest, Izuku grabbed both strands of tape and ran across campus. A deafening thud boomed across U.A. as Izuku ran straight through the barrier.

As the tape unwound around Sero's elbows with a deafening whine, he licked his lips and said, "Wow, I'm getting thirsty. Does anyone have any water?"

Kaminari offered his bottle. "Yeah, sure, you can have a sip."

Sero chugged it down, crushing the plastic into a thin disc. "More," he gasped.

As he downed every water bottle available, Ojiro ran off and said, "I'll get a cooler!"

Another deafening crash announced Izuku's return to campus. He came in from the other direction, with tape trailing behind him. Newspapers, garbage cans, a hissing raccoon dog, and an entire tree streamed by as Izuku bulldozed through the other side.

"How far did he go?" Shoji asked.

A kangaroo, kicking and biting at the tape snaring it, answered his question. Following it came a cart of pineapples, the W from Hollywood, one very confused cow, Mickey Mouse, or rather, a hapless, underpaid acting intern stuffed in a sweat-stained mouse costume, a perfectly cooked beef wellington, the Leaning Tower of Piza, a Karen demanding to speak with a manager, and a ten-seat bicycle.

Sero's skin shriveled up as the tape continued to unfurl from his elbows. "Can't… feel… kidneys…"

"Hold on!" Ojiro said, lugging over a whole truckload of water coolers. "The hydration is here!"

As he upended the cooler into Sero's mouth, the wrinkles disappeared, and color returned to Sero's skin. Within seconds, he became mummified once more, and Ojiro opened another cooler.

"Hurry, start a bucket brigade!" he shouted.

1-A sprang into action, hauling water coolers and dragging hoses over. Torrents of water disappeared down Sero's gaping mouth. Izuku came and went several times, dragging more and more of the world's ecosystem and national landmarks behind him, until the campus overflowed with international detritus. The Sphinx had the Eiffel tower up its nose, Lady Liberty danced with the Colossus of Rhodes, and Tokyo Tower remained where it was, albeit festooned with a ribbon of tape coated in howler monkeys and peanut butter.

As Izuku made another lap through U.A., the tape suddenly went taut. Izuku gave it a few more tugs and declared, "That far."

"Great," Sato said from underneath a layer of tape. "Now, could you get us out of here?"

The other U.A. students all struggled to free themselves from the clump Izuku had tied them in. Further beyond the campus, cars whined and struggled against the tape draped over them, boats floundered in tape-covered water, and even airplanes remained stuck to the ground.

"Sure, I'll help."

Laser beams from Izuku's eyes vaporized the tape, much to everyone's relief.

Sounds like everyone was in a sticky situation!

Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week.
