Summary: Dealing with two big hitters from the League of Villains, Bryant gets acquainted with more of the Class 1A students. Using their heads they all manage to hold their own against the threats in the Ruins Zone.
Note: Don't forget to review as usual. Also there's still that contest if anyone at all is game. Lastly, Happy Halloween.
Still stuck together, the three of them are flabbergasted, with Mina and Sero straight up blushing from what they saw. "Jeez, am I seeing things, or is Bryant hot now"? She overhears that while hovering in the sky and thinking of her next move, "More like cold. Now stop fantasizing and do something". Hanta manages to move up one of his elbows and fire a length of tape aimed towards Magne, but the villain raises the metal beam 'he's' carrying to allow it to be wrapped up. With a light chuckle the drag queen yanks it and all of them fall flat on their face, or more so Yuga and Hanta. Mina speaks up, "Well come on, don't just float there, do something". Bryant flies directly at Magne and swinging the beam, it surprisingly misses to everyone's surprise including herself.
Looking at her body, Bryant finds she has become translucent and transparent with only the outline visible; realizing the intangibility her AC mouth forms a smile, "Looks like you're in trouble now". Becoming tangible again she grabs hole of the beam and slams it to the ground, and freezing it to where it's stuck to the ground. "You're defenseless now. So, make your next move". Magne starts to swing 'his' fists at Bryant, but she easily dodges left and right, down and up with each swipe due to her slender figure. "Let's see what else I can do", she eagerly wonders. With enough thought, she covers her fists into spiky ice balls and bashes Magne over the head with one, then uppercutting 'him' with the other, knocking 'him' flat.
"Now for some extra precaution you scumbag", she blows a large breath of icy cold air, entrapping the bad guy inside of a human sized ice cube. "How it feel to get cold cocked? Ha ha ha". Looking over, the three of his partners finally separate now that Magne is dispatched. Mina is impressed, "That was awesome. You're like Shoto, but you can fly and breathe ice. What will you call this guy, er, girl"? Bryant lands in front of them, "Don't you mean, that was cool? Also, given my powers, gender and out of nowhere like of stupid ice jokes, I think I'll call her, 'Ice Queen'. What do you think"? She gives her a thumbs up, "I like it. Fits pretty well". Hanta comments, "Yeah that was great but, doesn't anyone want to ask why ryant has boobs now"? She herself has no idea, "It beats me too. I guess, some alien, the forms, are only one gender? Either way, my head feels so...odd. I'm a woman, but I still have my own thoughts. Like, I find Mina pretty as I would were I my own gender but...er. No sense in overthinking it, I have a feeling she'll be one of my favorite forms. Besides, I've always liked moths".
His watch beeps and sure enough he's back to normal, "So, what are we going to do about the giant Popsicle", asks Sero. Yuga finally says something, "I say we leave him where he is. Not only is his flannel hideous, but we have no way to technically arrest him. I'm also willing to bet none of us has a set of handcuffs". Bryant looks to Ashido, "Well Mina, you"? She agrees with Aoyama, "Yuga's right, no point if we can't really apprehend him. So with luck, your ice will hold. Now as far as what I think we should do next? Let's just see if we can find more villains. Hopefully not get stuck to each other again either".
After a little walking, Mina walks up to Bryant up front with a grin on her face, "So, I hear from Hanta you got a thing for Momo". He glances at her, "Yeah, so? That midget Mineta does too. She's my friend, the first person I met besides Tsuyu, at UA". Mina continues, "Yeah, but is it anything serious? I just love the idea of romance. Plus, even as a girl myself I have to admit that Momo is one of the prettiest girls in Class 1A if not most of the school. She's also got the grades, the personality, and even her outfit is almost as good as mine. Very...revealing". He looks at her, "So what's your point in all of this"? She shrugs, "Just thought I'd plug you for gossip. That and give you my advice. I think you should say something to her". He brushes it off, "I'll think about it. But thanks, I guess".
Within feet of them, a huge explosion happens, and out of one of the ruined buildings comes Katsuki smashing through, to Bryant's delight. "Well will you look at that. Karma's a bitch". But coming out of the building after him is a person wrapped in a black straitjacket, walking on his teeth like spider legs, "FLESH, DISTRACTING ME", the insane man shouts. "Who's this guy, S&M Doc Ock"? Yuga snarks, "Whoever it is, that's the ugliest gear I've ever seen". Mina knows, "Don't you guys watch the news? That's Moonfish, he's some kind of cannibal death row inmate". Hanta scoffs, "Yeah well, his dental plan is garbage". Bakugo yells at all of them, "How about instead of talking about, you bastards come and assist me"?! Bryant flips him off, "What's that Mr. All Powerful, you want our help now? Seems like you got this. I want to see the outcome". Ashido elbows him, "We can't just let him die, even Bakugo. Besides, this guy is a threat to literally anyone". Allen rolls his eyes, "Yeah I get it. But I'll mostly do this for you".
Cycling through what to use, Katsuki propels himself up and blows Moonfish up in the face, but he seems unphased. Yuga blasts his teeth stilts with his laser but it doesn't do much. Meanwhile Hanta starts swinging around like Peter Parker and blasts rolls of tapes around his teeth to try and restrain him, but even with how strong the adhesive is, the teeth are too sharp and easily cut through. Mina goes to run off into the arms of danger but Bryant holds her back a moment, "Hey hold up, you could get hurt". She removes his hand from her shoulder, "That's part of being a Hero. I get what you mean, and that's sweet. But like I said, this guy is a major threat and Yuga and Hanta are in just as much trouble".
Bryant nods, "Okay. Well considering you shoot and skate on acid, I'd say you're in a pretty good position". Seeing Mina assist, she slides on over, under the maniac and begins lobbing balls of acid at the teeth, and sure enough it works as they starts to disintegrate. However, since it's only a matter of time, Moonfish feels what's going on and starts attacking underneath himself with his remaining teeth. "Acid seems like the ideal method. Hang in there Mina". Turning into The Blob, Bryant speeds over there with flight via his mini UFO disc. One of the stray teeth manage to inadvertently knock the tool off from over his head though and he splats onto the ground while the disc rolls away, "Fuck me", he laments in his gurgled voice".
"Hanta! Hanta! SERO, get your ass over here"! He hears and swings over to the goop on the ground, "Yeah"? He stares up at him, "Could you be a pal and go retrieve that tiny flying saucer for me"? Sero grabs it with his tape and drags it over to him, "Here you go. What do you want me to do with it"? He sighs, "Could you...I'm not sure, place it above me"? Doing as asked, the saucer rearranges him back into humanoid form, "Thanks Hanta. Now, let's kick this guy's ass. Also note to self, be extra careful of this toy above my head". Having a care he once again goes for Mina to help her but this time he crawls in his goop form to reach her.
He reforms, the two of them underneath the villain, "You okay"? She tosses more acid at the attacking teeth, "Been better". Bryant starts spraying acid like two hoses out of his palms, "Just checking. Anyways, tag teaming this guy should get us somewhere. Oh in case I haven't mentioned it before, your power is awesome". She smiles, "Thanks". He makes small talk, "But I have to asks, what's with the horns, pink skin, and entrancing eyes"? She chuckles, "Same as Fumikage having a bird head, or Koda looking like a rock. Genes. My mom has horns from her mom. My eyes come from my dad. But the pink skin I think is because of the acid in my blood or something, messing with the pigmentation".
"I see. Well, thanks for sharing". She is getting a little exhausted, "Geez, how many teeth in a mouth anyways"? He responds, "32". She pouts, "Show off. Anyways, it feels like more than that". Bryant shrugs, "Well, however many he's got, I just got an idea. Instead of standing under him, how about we go to the source"? Ashido doesn't like the sound of that, "You sure that's a good idea? If we're struggling down here, just imagine what his mouth could do". He looks at her, "You trust me"? She looks to him, "Yeah. But usually when someone asks that it's followed up by something the other person won't like. But, sigh, what is it"? He looks straight at her, "I'm gonna swallow you". She raises an eyebrow, "Excuse me"? He elaborates, "I'm made of goo that can become acidic if I decide so. So, I swallow you and act as a shield from his teeth to get you out of here safely. You help the three of them and I jump into his mouth and melt his teeth".
She is impressed and disgusted at the same time, "Sounds like a crazy plan. But it does sound kind of well thought out. Fine, I'll let you...swallow me, and you take care of him". He gives a thumbs up, "By the time I'm done this guy'll need dentures". He looks at her, "Here it goes". He grab hold of her and sucks her into him, and luckily she can breathe inside him. He jokes, "Well, this is intimate". She shakes her head, "You expecting a kiss or something"? He jokes halfheartedly, "Maybe later". Running out of the bottom of Moonfish, the teeth try to stab her and him but are prevented from doing so thanks to the acid shielding. Once at a safe distance, he lets her climb out, "Ew, I'm covered, with you". He apologizes, "Sorry. But it worked didn't it"?
She starts helping the others, "Be careful, okay"? He nods his head to her and flies up, making very sure his UFO isn't hit by any teeth. Maneuvering through the incisors and such he reaches the mouth, and without hesitation he leaps into his mouth, "Now time for a root canal you psychopath"! He swishes around and even drips out of his mouth a bit, "God, I never knew someone could have so many cavities". Spreading all across every tooth, Bryant activates his acidic touch, "Now this'll only hurt, A LOT". Moonfish starts screaming in agony, "Ahhhhhhhhh"! Bryant's acid melts every single tooth, the large ones outside of his mouth all breaking off at the root. Moonfish falls right on face and presumably gets more brain damage than he already had. Leaking out of his mouth, the saucer reforms him and he times out.
"Yeah! How's that for dental surgery"? Hanta, Yuga and Mina walk over and congratulate him, "Not bad, but not fabulous"; "Not bad, could've used more tape though". Mina kisses him on the cheek, "There". He rubs the back of his head, "Heh, thanks…". Katsuki is his usual self, "We did the heavy lifting you know"?! Bryant actually agrees with him this time, "Yeah, you guys did. I might've helped, and done the finishing blow, but you guys still tried holding your own. Even you jackass". Bakugo is about to bitch but Allen ignores him and talks to his new pals, "Hey, could you guys come with me real quick"? They indulge him and leave Katsuki behind. They arrive at where Magne is to check if 'he' is still frozen; fortunately he is, "Still frozen solid", he knocks on it. "I wanted to try something before Dragula here goes to Tartarus". He turns into molten and only thaws out 'his' hand, touching it, and sure enough he gets a new form, "Nice. Thanks guys". Mina is curious, "Well you can repay us by showing what you just got".
He readies his watch and finds the new silhouette to be another humanoid with sharp, pointed shoulders, a floating head with no neck, and two claws rather than hands. "Hopefully this isn't too painful". He pushes down the faceplate and as shown, his feet become two two like Ice Queen or Molten has, his shoulder blades stretch up higher than his head. As for the head, his neck retracts into his body while his new one morphs into riveted metal, two eyes and no other facial features like a mouth, while the head itself floats between his blades and 'neck hole'. He figure slenders a little but lastly is the most achy part, as his fingers separate and forms into two long claws for arms. Despite having no mouth he speaks, but in a muffled tone, "Well, how do I look"? Mina and Hanta say, "Cool", but Yuga just judges the color scheme of the being, "Black and yellow are a good combo. I like it".
"I guess before I leave I'll check what this thing does". Raising a claw, he aims it at everything to see what happens, and eventually he snags a sewer lid. He lifts it up into the air, and with the other arm he aims at something else until he is 'connected' to one of the light posts. Gray rings emanate out of the claws as he tries pulling them towards him and with enough pull, the light post is ripped out of the ground and both objects float go to him. Floating front of his face, he deactivates the rings, causing the objects to fall. "So, magnetism? This guy could really come in handy. But enough wasting time on the watch". He presses the symbol on his chest and turns back, "Well, this is where we parts ways. You guys look after yourselves, my next stop is to help anyone in the Landslide Zone. That should be less than fun". He waves goodbye to them, and heads off, while thinking of his new form's name, 'Attractor'.
