CHAPTER 12
UA SPORTS FESTIVAL
CAPTURE THE PRINCESS
PART 3
THIRD PERSON POV
"AS IMPRESSIVE AS THAT WALL VAULT WAS, ALL IT DID WAS GET HIM AWAY FROM EXPLOSION MANIC AND INTO THE ARMS OF ANOTHER ONE, OR RATHER THREE OF THEM!" Present Mic exclaimed as Izuku was caught by Kinoko Komori. The crowd excited to see these three back in the spotlight, but also worried for Izuku safety as well after how the last two groups treated him. "AS FOR THOSE WHO SAVE HIM IT IS WHAT I LIKE TO CALL THE TRINITY OF MASS DESTRUCTION!" Present Mic said not making the crowd feel any better before he gave each their own intro.
"FIRST IS THE LEADER, A ONE WOMEN ARMOURY MOMO YAOYOROZU! A LADY, IF YOU CAN CALL HER THAT, CAN AND WILL NOT HESITATE TO BLOW YOU UP SO I SUGGEST YOU STAY OUT OF HER WAY!" The warning at the end being for the other less combat capable students.
"HER SECOND IN COMMAND YUI KODAI WHO CANN LITERALLY CRUSH YOU WITH A PEBBLE THANKS TO HER QUIRK!" He said already imaging her turning a pebble into a boulder in the maze.
"FINALLY WE HAVE THE THIRD MEMBER, KINOKO KOMORI WHO I AM PRETTY SURE HAS VIOLATED THE GENEVA CONVENTION HAS ALREADY SENT OVER A HUNDRED STUDENTS TO THE HOSPITAL!" This they actually had to check for legal matters, even so they let her participate regardless of wether they would need to end up disqualifying her or not.
"I got you!" Kinoko Komori declared as her long awaited princess fell into her arms for her team to finally score some points. Knowing Bakugo was just over that wall they all ran back tracking remembering how there was six people on their heels before the maze shift. However with the maze shift many of them had to most likely go around as such they hoped to find less enemies to fight. Unfortunately for them Bakugo had a different strategy in mind, this was blasting his way through the walls. As well as the fellow competitors on the other side of said walls who were unlucky enough to be there when he was. Momo team ran into Mashirao Ojiro, Togaru Kamakiri, and Hiryu Rin who despite being from different classes agreed to work together as they all specialized in close combat. With Togaru Kamakiri having a small amount of skill in range combat, but Hiryu Rin however was the most knowledgable of the three, as such he knew how to deal with Momo best.
Momo creating four pistols passing two to Yui with rubber bullets in the chamber already fired off their six shots per gun. Rin however launched his scales that just barely absorbed the force of the bullets, both falling to the ground. Ojiro using this brief moment did what his teammate told him to do earlier and launched their other teammate Kamakiri at them with his tail. His blades ready to strike, but never connected as Yui unloaded her empty cartridges touching the as she launched them at him. Not only blocking him but trapping his two teammates with him underneath them as the three girls ran over them with Izuku in tow. Unfortunately for them just as the three boys got the slabs of metal off of them they were blown up by Bakugo who proceeded through the wall beside them.
"OW! THAT HAS GOTTA STING. FIRST MOMO AND KODAI BEATING THEM DOWN THEN BAKUGO FINISHES OFF WHAT LITTLE PRIDE THEY HAD LEFT." Present Mic said grinning as he just managed to hold back his laughter.
'As much as I want to lecture him about this, I can't really blame Midoriya in this case as cannot even walk away from them right now.' Aizawa thought just wanting the child suffering to end already.
Nezu who was seeing this was enjoying the unrestrained chaos happening before his eyes today, despite his pity for Midoriya. Though he had to admit, not even he thought young Bakugo could simply blast his way through Cementoss walls like he was doing. 'If it was undecided before it is definitely decided now, when this sports festival is over I am removing those grenade gauntlets from his costume.' Nezu thought as he poured himself a new cup of tea. Recovery Girl who was watching this simply sighed as she knew this meant even more work for her now with these three new victims of his.
Back at the maze they had just turned a corner when suddenly Bakugo appears before them as an explosion broke a hole in the wall. Slowly he was walking out of the hole, huffing from all his running around and explosion making noticing them with Izuku. For some reason the sight of them treating his childhood friend as a helpless princess was infuriating him, but he could not figure out why. Was he sure of anything right now? Yes, yes he was. He was sure that right now he need to blow them the fuck up like the third rate bitches they were and grab the green haired boy from as soon as possible. Not hesitating he let loose a AP Shot at their feet knocking them off balance causing Momo to drop the stun gun she made when she saw him. Then he rushed at them ready to use a close range explosion to finish the three off when a blowhorn went off and the maze shifted. This caused Izuku and Kinoko to disappear behind a wall and another to appear between him and his other two targets. Due to Izuku being in the range of both attacks the judges decided that his first lost him only seven points as he aimed at the ground. Despite Izuku not being in direct harms way, if Bakugo was off by a little bit he might have hit Izuku if it went past the first two before hitting the ground. While the second lost him another fifteen as it would have definitely caught Izuku in the crossfire if not for the wall appearing. They argued about making it twelve but decided since it devalued his first carefully aimed attack they made it the maximum instead.
Thanks to the maze shift Kinoko barely managed to get her team one-hundred and sixteen seconds and thirty-two nanoseconds. However she now found herself faced off against a total of five opponents covering all sides except her back due to the wall. To her left was Mezo Shoji and his partner Rikido Sato with their hulking frames running towards her. Then to her right was Fumikage Tokoyami with Dark Shadow out, as he ran to her as well with Dark Shadow only a few seconds away from reaching her. Then to her front was Denki Kaminari and Minoru Mineta with the shorter boy making creepy gripping motions in his hands making her unsure if her or Izuku was his target.
Just as Dark Shadow was about to reach her Vines erupted from the ground cocooning them and pulling them away from everyone via underground. When she was pulled out from the other side she was face to face with her classmate giving her a stern look with their arms held out. Knowing what her classmate was capable of she handed over Izuku deciding it was better to not get herself needlessly beaten. This resulted in her team getting another thirty-one seconds and twenty-two nanoseconds.
Also as a side bonus for the audience watching the three groups got shocked, pummelled, and then stuck together in a pile of pain with a little bit of humiliation on top. "OUCH THAT DEFINITELY HURT A FEW OF THEM WHERE THE SUN DOES NOT SHINE, IF THEIR FACES ARE ANYTHING TO GO BY." Present Mic said as Sato and Shoji looked like they were ready to drop if they were still standing. The duo who smashed skulls first into their crotches was Kaminari and Mineta, with the shorter one being at the bottom of the entire pile.
'Well at least those two at the bottom got what they deserved for not taking this seriously' Aizawa thought momentarily before realizing Recovery Girl knows what they did. "For their sakes they better hope Recovery Girl is on a forgiving mood." He said getting an internal wince from Midnight who participated in the nurses last mercy.
Nezu also expecting this to be nothing compared to the old woman wrath was pondering when Todoroki would finally cross paths with the two.
Back at the maze Ibara Shiozaki was currently using her vine to crawl forward while holding Izuku close to her chest. After getting a short distance from her classmate and the others back there she stopped to use her vines to help fix Izuku splint. "My apologies about that but I needed to make some distance before I could properly tend to it." She said taking his nod and smile as a good sign she did it right.
"AND WITH THAT FOLKS THE PIOUS SHIOZAKI EARNS HERSELF THIRTEEN AND A HALF POINTS! SHE WOULD HAVE EARNED MORE IF A CERTAIN SOMEONE WAS NOT BEING SO STINGY WITH THE POINTS?" Present Mic announced. Ibara Shiozaki parents who were watching this in the stands were quite happy to see their daughter tending to Izuku injuries.
"What are you talking about Mic, Me and Nezu gave her five points, you were the one that gave her three and a half points." Aizawa said not letting his friend add more to Vlad unreasonable ire towards him. Present Mic chuckled nervously but fortunately for him Shoto Todoroki decided to make a big move.
Ibara Shiozaki had blocked off a section of the maze with her vines, trying not to move Izuku as much as possible. Unfortunately for her Todoroki decided to tear through her vines with frozen spikes while making a layer of ice on the ground to keep them in place. He knew she had Izuku as he ran into Kinoko Komori earlier and froze her demanding information.
"AND WITH THAT HE JUST LOST HIMSELF FIFTEEN POINTS!" Present Mic said as all three judges agreed on deducting maximum points. Present Mic thought the student was using excessive force to say the least with this last attack. Especially since Midoriya got stabbed about two centimetres deep by one of the ice spikes, with Ibara getting stabbed through all four limbs. Aizawa was infuriated at what Endeavour had been teaching his son, if his way of fighting was anything to go by. Nezu on the other hand just shook his head is disappointment at how much his student was like his father, in one of the worst ways possible at that.
As Todoroki made his way through the torn up vines and spikes of ice he made, he saw Ibara Shiozaki wrapping her whole body around Izuku. As soon as the temperature dropped she focused on using her body to shield him from the cold. When the cold air hit it was affecting her rate to grow more vines. She used what little she could produce to pull the broken off icicle tip out of his leg before using it to make a truncate to stop the bleeding. "AND WITH THAT SHE JUST GOT HERSELF ANOTHER TEN POINTS" Present Mic said as the other two agreed with him that despite how minor the first aid was, her shielding him deserved the points they gave her.
"Hand him over." Todoroki said holding his hand out as he got closer to her and his target. She quietly stared back holding Izuku closer, not wanting to hand him over to this unnecessarily violent boy. "I don't have time for you behaving like a child" he said already behind everyone else after barely making it through the first event like he did.
"Pass Princess here!" Mei shouted as she flew towards them from behind Todoroki. Ibara wanting to get Izuku to safety head butted Todoroki knocking him back before holding Izuku up in the air. Mei seeing the chance grabbed Izuku from her, after knocking Todoroki over as she flew in. This gave Ibara one-hundred and twelve seconds and sixty-two nanoseconds before handing him off to Mei.
Flying through the maze just above arms reach of most of the contestants, slowing down when she saw Izuku wince. "T-T-Thank you." Izuku said still cold from when Todoroki attacked him and Ibara earlier.
"No need Princess, I hope vine lady will be okay though." Mei said seeing how she struggled to lift him earlier for her to grab him. "What about you though? You got a broken ankle and got stabbed just like her." She said not being an expert but still knowing that had to have been painful with how everyone was probably treating him.
"It is fractured not broken, and the stab wound is not that deep, she got it a lot worse than me since she was shielding me." He responded silently thanking her silently still. Behind him and Mei they could see two trails trying to follow them, one was of ice cold mist, the other of greyish smoke brimming with heat along with the scent of caramel. Unfortunately for Mei they were catching up, meaning she would lose the spotlight soon. Then she remembered what her grandfather once told her when she asked him what he did when he was stuck on an investigation when he was still a detective. 'Whenever I got stuck or hit a wall, all I had to do was go back to the beginning to find that one thing I missed.' is what he always said. "I HAVE NOT ONE BUT TWO PEOPLE WHO I MISSED AT THE BEGINNING!" Mei exclaimed as she changed direction suddenly, causing Izuku to yelp in surprise. She also increased the power output of her jetpack just enough so as to cause it to leave a barely noticeable smoke trail.
The top two students who saw what they did not realize she did it on purpose to lead them where she wanted. Keeping track of the time since this event began she knew another maze shift was about to happen and the two following her was on pace. As she reached the room she saw Kendo and dropped Izuku to her calling out "Catch!" trying to not make too much noise.
This got Mei one-hundred and twenty-seconds and thirty-two nanoseconds. The drop taking two-seconds and fifty-four nanoseconds before Kendo caught him running as far away from her as possible.
Neither of the two chasers realizing Mei already let go of Izuku continued to pursue her with Todoroki ahead of Bakugo. As a result when Bakugo went over his trail less than a few seconds behind the sudden shift in temperature from cold to hot, combined with Bakugo nitroglycerin like sweat resulted in a large explosion. This explosion not only wiped out all the walls surrounding them clearing a path to the maze centre. It also launched the two into the room just as the maze shifted/repaired itself again. This added another thirty-four seconds and thirty nanoseconds to Kendo record as she continued running with Izuku.
"AND JUST LIKE THAT FOLKS WE HAVE OFFICIALLY REACHED THE HALFWAY POINT OF THE EVENT WITH ONLY FIFTEEN MINUTES LEFT!" Present Mic yelled getting the audience to shout with him.
"Do you have to be so loud Mic?" Aizawa asked his friend embarrassed that a coffee obsessed support course student outsmarted his second and third most powerful students.
Nezu on the other hand was always happy to see someone getting knocked off their pedestal. Especially if it was a student who was in need of an ego check in order to not become the next Endeavour. Speaking of which he got a message on his phone and was shocked by what the good detective and his lie detector quirk confirmed for him. 'Looks like I will need to have a talk with that boy after school tomorrow.' Nezu thought to himself hoping that this will be not as messy as it seemed like it was going to be.
As the two boys recovered they got up to see that the exit out of the room was behind the dragon hero and her assistant. "So boys… who wants to find out first how strong my tail muscles are?" Ryukyu asked them using her tail to crush a sizeable pice of maze debris to dust before their eyes.
