Summary: The Cavalry Battle finishes up and Bryant and the girls are in the thick of it all.
Note: Just the same. Let me know if there are any questions too.
Mei gives some insight, "I know that guy, Shinso. Don't talk to him at all. In fact just to be safe, try not to say anything". Hitoshi's 'horses' include Nirengeki, Aoyama and Mashirao, except they all have whitewashed eyes. Hitoshi literally calls the shots, "Ojiro, grab the band". He uses his tail to try and snatch it but Allen moves out of reach. Shinso shakes his head, "Guess I'll have to take it by attacking. Aoyama, Shoda". Yuga goes to fires a laser at Bryant while Nirengeiki enhances it by making it into a double impact.
The watch finally charges and Bryant selects Gemstoned, absorbing the laser, and consequentially the double impact version of it. He reflects it back at Hitoshi, who flies off into the ground, while the three guys wake up, regaining their eye color, "What happened"? With Shinso dealt with, Bryant and the girls flee. Monoma comes over with the literal black guy and two 'vanilla' guys. Catching them kind of off guard, Neito goes for the headband but misses, and instead cops a feel of Bryant.
"Alright, now let's see what you gave me". He is sorely disappointed, "Nothing"? Bryant turns to normal to save juice, and taunts him a little, "Nothing? Nothing, tra la la la"? Neito tries again but to no avail, "I don't have any powers. The watch is the powers. In other words you're not getting anything from me". Frustrated he gets his teammates to try and retrieve the headband. Tsuburaba and Neito, with the former's power, blow a couple shields of air around Allen and the girls, trapping them in on three sides. As they prepare to protect him and his headband, Bryant scrolls through and decides on the bug he got from Togaru, "Now's as good a time as any to fly".
His body structure slants forward a little, with his hand becoming three fingered black claws. Two pairs of sharply pointed insectoid legs jut out from his sides at the torso and waist, which of course definitely ache. A long, big scorpion-like tail emerges out the bottom of his body and curves upwards. Of course, a set of sleek wings sprout out of his back, covered in membranous coating and lining, being also kind of pointed. Lastly, and with everything aching at this point, four pedunculated eyes, two coming out of each side parallel of the other and with orange irises lacking any pupils. His voice is a bit congested, "Hang on girls".
He pulls them all up with him, "Oh jeez, what's that horrible smell", Mina says covering her nose. He can't smell it himself, "Sniff. I don't smell anything, but it's probably me. Sorry". Kosei and Monoma try to blow more air traps but he zig zags in flight, "Okay, got a tail for stinging, flight and...there's got to be something else, right"? Flying lower he tastes some kind of mucus in his throat as well as his eyes being slimy. "Um...here goes nothing". He hocks at Neito's eyes, covering them, "Agh, nasty...what is this stuff"?
He targets Tsubaraba next, by shooting the slime from his four stalks into his, "Gah". Allen's self esteem drops a slight bit, "This thing is disgusting. Plus considering I already have a form that can fly I probably don't need him. But...maybe I should name him at least". He thinks, "Hey Ashido, how's, 'Scorpion Dragon' sound"? She helps him out, "How about...'Snap Dragon' instead"? He nods, "I like it. Anyways, looks like those guys can't take it off, so we're safe for a bit. I'll find us a safe place to land".
'Outflying' Neito, he and the girls land, with him on top, but it doesn't take long for more contestants to show. Hagakure, Jiro, Sato and Koda come over, with Kyoka using her earlobes to try and take the headband from him. Turning around, he lets his stinger get wrapped and tugs on it, pulling Jiro out from under Toru and falling. Koji speaks to him, but in a special voice only he can hear, "Can we please have the headband? I'd rather not fight". Allen responds, looking crazy as the girls can't hear it, only seeing Koda move his lips, "Sorry buddy, but I',m not giving up, especially after all these teams have been hounding us".
Kyoka gets up, "That really hurt". She uses her wrist devices to shoot sound waves towards Bryant and the girls, "AHH". They all cover their ears, "Not use to being on the other end of that", he laments. He switches to Canis Hominid and unleashes a howl to counter her attack and cancel them both out. Mina holds her cheek, "Aw, a wolf". Mina suggests, "I've got a name for that, 'Subwoofer'. Giggle". Momo suggests, "How about, 'Howlitzer'? He turns back to save on energy, "I like those, but I already chose a name. But you know what, I just just call him both of those. Oh and FYI, I can't speak when I'm him".
He thinks on their next move, "Okay, maybe I'll give Snap Dragon another try". He starts squirting from his eyes rapidly with unlimited slime it seems, binding everyone's feet together, and sticking Kyoka's earlobes to her ears of course. "There, that should hold them awhile. So, want another flight"? Momo and Mina decline, while Mei just brings up she already has a jetpack. Hatsume brings up, "We still have at least a few teams left to contend with, so maybe it's not the best idea to just stand here".
Minoru, Shoji and Asui come barreling at them, with Mezo forming a little cone around them on his back, "Huh, guess that's what you call a 'pound of flesh', jokes Allen. Mineta tosses his hairballs at the girls' feet to try and trap them but Mina easily dissolves it. Tsuyu shoots out her tongue, wrapping it all the way around Bryant, just as he times out unfortunately. From mouth to crotch, he's covered, and she pulls him towards Mezo to get the band. Meanwhile he thinks to himself, 'Jesus, I've got the biggest boner right now, for better or worse. Anyways, I think I can reach my watch but it's not charged'.
Mezo takes the band, while Tsuyu places his gently back on top the girls, "Ribbit. Sorry about the cheap tactic guys". Momo creates a rope with her powers and tosses it through the hole and tries getting it from Minoru, but as a safety he placed the band onto one of his hairballs which in turn is attached to his hand, "Sorry, Yaoyorozu. But I know better". Bryant starts smacking on his watch, "Come on, please recharge". It does to his happiness, and he turns into Warrior, "Hey Momo, gimme that thing". He tugs on the rope and with enough force it yanks out Mineta from his shelter, dragging him over. He lowers the midget down to Ashido, "A little bit of acid please"? She removes the hairball on his hand and gives the headband back to Bryant, while tossing Minoru back to his team.
Allen turns into Orbital for a second to toss them a good ways from him and the girls, before turning back to charge. The next of the four other teams comes in the form of Kaminari, Ida and Todoroki. Tenya speeds them over there and within moments though they were feet away, Shoto is in grabbing distance. He sprays a circle of ice around them to deter Bryant's team from moving and slipping, and as he goes to take the band, the two of them wrestle for it. Bryant and Shoto tug, "No hard feelings Shoto, but it's ours, not yours". He freezes the headband and breaks it off from Allen's hand, "I too am sorry. But losing isn't something I've been raised to do".
For good measure on the way out, he freezes Bryant's hands, "Shit. A little help here Mina"? He admits, "Smart move man". Freeing his hands and careful not to burn them, Mina does her job and in turn he does his, turning into Molten, but briefly worried, "You girl's okay carrying me"? They nod but admit it's pretty warm doing so. "Okay so I only burn things if I want to, good". He melts the ice around them and they run off towards Todoroki. Seeing them pursue him, Shoto blasts a trail of ice behind them but Allen and Mina work together to melt it. "This is your problem Shoto, you won't use your other side. Therefore I just use Molten to counter you. One of these days you're going to have to utilize both".
Denki goes to zap them just as a distraction, but regardless Bryant switches over to Gemstoned and sucks in all his watts again, leaving his brain fried, "Yay", he gives a thumbs up but keeps mindlessly carrying his teammates despite it. With the absorbed energy, Allen blasts a hole in front of them to stop them in their tracks. Todoroki glares, "Fine. You want it? Then take it". He holds it out, "What's the catch"? Shoto shakes his head slowly, "I don't trick people. We're at an impasse, so let's just go toe to toe for it. You get it, and we'll go after other teams for points. Easy as that". Bryant accepts and tries to take it back.
He turns into Ice Queen, "Ice vs Ice. A very fair fight". She flies over to try and grab it but obviously Todoroki won't just give it freely, and he basically plays keep away. Neither of their powers effect each other, naturally, but between flight and going intangible, Allen is able to retrieve it. "Got it. Now, we had an agreement. So, you gonna honor of it". Shoto nods and Tenya also agrees to the little arrangement set, "fair's fair", he says. Tetsutetsu, or TT for short, Honenuki, Awase, the guy with the headband with no points, and Shiozaki are next. Juzo immediately softens the ground around then just by stepping on it, and the girls begin sinking.
Already being Ice Queen, Bryant flies up, "Mei, jetpack", she shouts, but Hatsume already does so. Now in the air, they land back on top of each other behind the team, with Allen freezing Juzo with her breathe, "You'll be a real pain in the ass if I leave you be". Turning him into an ice block, Ibara tries to grab her with her vines, but Allen just goes intangible. "Sorry beautiful nun lady, but you can't catch what you can't hold". He briefly switches between Stickler then Snap Dragon to combine their adhesions into a combo, sticking her hair together, "Sorry in advance, that'll probably be a bitch to wash out".
Yosetsu combines a bunch of logs together and effects the tip, pressing it against Bryant just as he turns back to save energy. Attempting to pull him over to them, the girls try to hold Allen back. He turns into The Blob, and the logs fall, "I'm viscous buddy. That's not gonna work". But this will". He flings sticky slime over his waist and arms, "Bet your power can't counter that". With that team not much of a threat now, the are left to contend with the last. Midoriya, Uraraka and Tokoyami walk on over, with the dark shadow coming out to try and grab the headband. "Dark's in the name of your power. Plus it's daytime. So I just need a flashlight".
He turns into Gemstoned, and starts blasting his ultraviolet beams into the shadow. Fumikage retracts it, while Ochaco looks to Izuku, "It's not worth it. Even for the points, he's too strong. I don't want us to get hurt". Midoriya is surprised, but sees her point, "Yeah, okay. I get it". He looks to Fumikage, "Are you alright with that Tokoyami? I mean, he beat everyone else with Yaoyorozu, Ashido and Hatsume. Even with your dark shadow, especially during the day time, it's probably best to go after the others". They all agree and simply nod to Bryant and the girls. He turns back to normal, "Sigh. Good, I was getting exhausted from all of this. I bet you girls were too, right"? The timer finally runs out, and with their flag safeguarded, the four of them reach first place. The girls put him down, "Well Momo, Mina? What'd I tell you"? They both pat him on the back, Momo giving an approving smile. Most of Class A and B just relaxed during the Interlude, while the final event was rearing it's head, actual one on one fights.
