『No. 11 - The Girl's Fiery Passion』

I lied in a rubble-filled classroom. My vision was blurry, but I could distinguish only one thing. A blazing light coming from outside. It was bright red and I felt like I could feel the heat emanating from it, even from the second floor.

I slowly tried lifting myself up, but a sharp pain filled my body. "Agh...!" I groaned and lied again on my back. "...Elizabeth... I can't... do anything..."

The flames surrounding Elizabeth were intense enough for everyone in the area to notice. It was practically like a beacon. The bricks beneath her feet were becoming charred from the intensity. Three and Four started to sweat profusely. Not from nervousness, but just from the amount of heat radiating from Elizabeth's body.

Elizabeth Meadows
Quirk: Phoenix

Well, Four was sweating from both nervousness and the heat.

The two villains stood there like statues until one spoke up. "Th-Three! Do something about this! Punch her or something!" Four shouted.

"No way. That fire's way too hot for me to even consider gettin' close to," Three said.

The fire around Elizabeth started moving towards her back. It crawled over her shoulders and formed to massive flaming wings.

"...Holy shit..." Four muttered. "Well... uh... now that she's not completely covered in the fire..." He turned to Three nervously. "...you can get closer to her, right...?"

Three sighed and transferred all his muscle into his right arm. "Well, now that I've got the opening..." A mischevious smile grew on his face. "How could I turn down another victim?" he growled.

"Another... victim...?" Elizabeth muttered. "Oh, right, Luke and Chris were trying to hold you off, weren't they?"

Three scoffed. "Those kids were all talk. After what I did to them, they'll definitely wanna rethink their career path," he said.

Elizabeth's once brown eyes now resembled the flames she summoned. These crimson red eyes stared into Three's bloodthirsty eyes with scorn and animosity.

"...Can I ask you a question...?" Elizabeth said in a monotone voice.

Three shrugged. "Even if you do, I ain't givin' you an honest answer. What makes you think I'll answer truthfully, kid?" he said.

Elizabeth took a step forward. The ground sizzled below her. "What did you do to my classmates...? My friends...?" she asked.

"Oh, I'll gladly answer that one! They got pummeled into the pavement. It was pretty easy too," Three explained.

Elizabeth's gaze was like a knife cutting into Three's very being. "So, that's how it is, huh?" she whispered.

"This girl is creepin' me out..." Four muttered.

Three directed his gaze at Four for just a moment. "Shut the hell up! If yer not gonna do anything then just stay back an' keep yer mouth shut. I'll take care of this-!"

As Three turned back towards Elizabeth, her flaming wings lifted up as high as they could, ready to be used. Three gulped and started to sprint towards her.

"Now go and join your weak-ass classmates in the rubble!" he screamed.

Elizabeth calmly knelt down and placed her hand on the burning ground; wings still readied. As Three inched closer, Elizabeth looked up and observed him with her crimson eyes once more. This instantly caught him off guard, providing a possible opening. Her wings flapped once with enough raw power to aggressively bend the trees around them. She shot forward from the overwhelming power of the wing flap. A little bit to the right of Three, she was about to inadvertently pass him completely. But, as she was close enough, she grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him with her down the walkway.

"Grrrrgghh!" Three groaned in agony as he was dragged along. Next, Elizabeth came to a complete stop and launched him into the air. Her wings readied again, but faster this time, and flapped to propel her straight up towards Three. Once she got close enough, she outstretched her ruthless hand and the raging flames from her right-wing spiraled around her arm.

"Burn,"

An enormous blast of flames erupted from Elizabeth's hand and engulfed Three.

"AAARRRGGHHHHH!" Three screamed.

Four grimly watched from the ground in disbelief. "What the hell is this...?" Suddenly, he heard footsteps walking up from behind him. He spun around and saw a woman with short orange hair in a ragged cloak.

"Looks like these kids were more capable than the boss thought," the woman said.

"One... you scared me..." Four muttered.

One looked up at Three being engulfed by the flames in the night sky. "Even Marlon couldn't take out that one, huh?" she said harshly.

"H-hey!" Four stuttered. "Boss instructed us not to use each other's real names while we're on an important mission!"

One nodded solemnly. "I apologize,"

"You're really level-headed today..." Four said anxiously.

One bent down and ripped two bricks out of the charred ground. "I can't distinguish a difference," With the two bricks in each of her hands, they started to glow. The one in her left hand turned into bullet-shaped objects and the one in her right hand transformed into an M1911 pistol. She then loaded the brick bullets into the pistol.

Four gulped. "Wh-what are you planning to do?"

"Isn't it obvious?" One said as she brandished the gun at the hovering Elizabeth. "I'm going to bring her down to Earth,"

While I was still lying in the rubble, unable to move, the only sound I could make out... was definitely a gunshot.

"E-Elizabeth...?"
