A/N: There was enough interest in fights that didn't make it into Chapter Seven to warrant this chapter. Chapter Eight should be uploaded as regularly scheduled.

Chapter 7.5

Fumikage Tokoyami watched Izuku Midoriya leap into the air and land on the story above. Whatever quirk he has, it's powerful. He may just be the light to guide us through dark nights. He shook his head and began towards his targets. While they didn't know for certain, they determined that both Mina Ashido and Eijirou Kirishima would stick to the ground level, where their quirks could do the most damage. Izuku stated Katsuki Bakugou would want to fight him one on one, and thus would be separate from his companions. That's one case where I won't doubt Midoriya. Nobody knows Bakugou as well as him, but that is the benefit of childhood bonds.

He stopped at a crunching sound. A bamboo wall to his left cracked and then burst open as Eijirou's hardened limbs sliced through the dried plant. He grinned, teeth sharpened, and Fumikage bristled.

"Found the bird, Mina!" Eijirou shouted. The wall behind Fumikage sizzled with an off-color white as a pink hand melted it away. A grinning face, complete with dark sclera and yellow horns gave Mina an alien appearance.

"Don't take this hard, Tokoyami," Mina said. "If we don't take you down, Bakugou says he'll tell everyone we've agreed to be his sidekicks. Load of tosh, I say, being a sidekick."

"How unfortunate," Fumikage muttered as his two opponents moved to encircle him. "I would not wish an embarrassment like that upon either or you, but Midoriya and I won before the match begun. Forgive me for the darkness you shall face."

Dark Shadow emerged from beneath his black cloak. It screeched, wings spreading to hang over both Eijirou and Mina. They froze at the sight until an explosion rocked the building. Midoriya has engaged Bakugou. Aloud, he said, "Face my dark wrath!"

Dark Shadow's wings descended in a furious flap, striking out at the two. Eijirou dove and avoided the attack, while Mina faced it head on, acid glossy on her hands. The acid stung Fumikage's quirk, but with a flick of its wing, Dark Shadow sent her flying into a far wall. Her collision was hard and she was out cold before hitting the ground.

"Oh shit," Eijirou said, staring at his ally.

"Oh shit is correct, Kirishima," Fumikage said as Dark Shadow's acid burns was patched by shadowy threads renewed the area touched. It lashed out, faster and more furious than during its first attack. While Eijirou avoided the left wing's strike, the right wing caught his midsection and tossed him into the same wall Mina had hit. He fell upon her and after a tense couple seconds, neither moved.

Another explosion rocked the building as Fumikage wrapped their wrists together with the capture tape they had been given. "Finish soon, Midoriya."

Hanta Sero had been nervous when he saw the names in his group for Battle Training. He had seen all of them excel during the quirk tests in a way he hadn't. My quirk's pretty cool and versatile, but it's nothing like theirs. Between Tenya's speed, Yuuga's laser beam, and Rikidou's sugar induced strength, he felt physically outmatched. And Yaoyorozu saw through Aizawa-sensei's lie. Only Midoriya seems to be as clever as her, but he has Bakugou breathing down his neck. He shivered before stepping into the small room he had been assigned as a starting place. He knew from the map that he was placed between 'Yaoyorozu Momo' and 'Satou Rikidou'.

The lights went out and All Might's booming voice shouted, "START!"

Hanta started towards Rikidou. All he knew of Momo's quirk was that it was good enough to get her in by recommendation. Thus, taking on what he knew was a much better idea than fighting mystery girl. Halfway between their starting places, he stopped and pulled out a length of clear tape. Strip after strip, he covered the narrow passage so that anyone who tried to follow him or stumble upon the path he had taken would get caught by his tape.

Luck was on his side, for as he turned a corner to walk away, a loud stumbling noise came right from his tape trap. Sneaking up to the corner, Hanta avoided the large figure that crashed through his tape and stumbled close to his hiding place. The trap shocked his ensnared victim, who then fell over and bound the trap tighter as they struggled. Even with all of this, it was only the low, deep grunt that confirmed his catch. This place has to be a real mess for you to show up.

"Sorry about this, Satou," Hanta said, lifting a fist. It took a dozen blows to knock out the larger boy and a few awkward minutes to tape him to the wall.

At least the tape glows. Let them know that Sero Hanta will be a great hero!
