Wednesday: Current Time
The Yellow-haired teen barely ducked as his friend's metallic body was suddenly flying in the direction of the crater he found himself hiding in. The armored teen scrapped across the ground grinding to a halt next to Kaminari and lay there unmoving.
The electric teen jumped into action and dragged the boy into the crater he was hiding in as quickly as possible. "Iida dude! You ok?"
Iida let out a small groan before feeling the gash in the side of his stomach where the beam attack had left a small hole, he'd dodged most of the hit but not all of it apparently. "My apologies, it seems I've both underestimated the enemy and overestimated myself. My engines stalled much faster than expected, I, however, have pinpointed their location." The teen then let out a small wheezing cough.
The electric quirk user having seen the wound had already opened his medical pack before applying a bandage to the injury, it wasn't much and he couldn't properly wrap it around Iida due to the armor in the way but it was better than nothing. "Good job man, knew I could count on you but don't talk too much alright? You need to save your strength."
Iida ignored the boy before sitting up and peering over their makeshift cover, he then turned around. "I'll be fine, it's not much more than a scratch."
Kaminari looked between the boy and his wound before making the obvious connection. "You have a friggin hole in the side of your stomach, that is not a 'scratch' dude, sit this one out."
"I shall do no such thing, besides the sooner we clear this up the sooner I can get medical attention."
Kaminari stared at his classmate's helmet before sighing. "Yeah whatever man, let's do this."
Iida just nodded. "Then follow my lead, the villain is hiding in that building up ahead, they are somehow able to detect us without us seeing them, that's how they are guiding the lasers they fire. They had some kind of mask on, so I'm guessing that's how they're doing it but I could be wrong." Just as Iida said that another beam was already headed for them but before Iida could grab the other teen and run, Kaminari jumped in front of him firing a lightning blast and guiding it with his second quirk straight into the laser beam, canceling the two attacks out.
"Been wanting to try that for a while, Yaomomo once told me something regarding my quirk, electricity is a plasma, same as a laser, so I thought ya know. One boom hits another boom, and then no more boom." Kaminari said while looking so proud of himself.
"Please tell me you have not already reached quirk overuse Kaminari," Iida asked incredulously toward the stupid language his classmate was using.
"Nah man, the tanks basically full, anyway pick me up, I'm point guard. We got this!" The electric user said flashing a smile and a thumbs up.
Meanwhile, Iida watched as another beam was heading straight toward his classmate who'd turned their back on the enemy and had no idea it was coming.
Tenya needed to warn him! "Kami-
Denki on the other hand just fired a bolt behind him canceling the next attack without so much as looking. "Ohhhhhh, so that's how that works. Man, I've been trying to figure that part of the quirk out forever. Midoriya told me the quirk could like see the future path lightning would take and I kinda forgot that it did that and never asked him about it again ... whoops. Anyway, Dude, I'm awesome!" He then turned before shouting at their foe. "You hear that! You're so boned villain! You're fighting Kaminari 2.0 now!"
Iida just sighed, picking up his stupid classmate before running back towards where the villain was. A beam already getting fired out of the sliding window door and on its way to strike them. "You better not miss Kaminari, I'm trusting you!"
Kaminari gave him a thumbs up before firing another blast at the incoming laser. "See, I got this!"
"Make sure you don't overdo it!" Iida chastised his friend because if he went 'stupid' here there was no way he could protect him and also defeat this villain at the same time.
Iida saw the open window door where the blasts were coming from and jumped into the air running straight towards it, if the villain could only attack them from the front it'd make it that much easier for Kaminari to stop the beams. "They're inside!"
"Got it!" Kaminari said charging his quirk up.
Iida breached the room quickly skidding to a stop once he did. He took a look around the room scanning for any trace of the villain, but he didn't find anything strange other than an open door. "It seems they've changed locations. I shouldn't be surprised."
"Well, you did say they could see us through walls. They probably bolted as we got closer, they should still be nearby, let's try and track them down." Kaminari said as he started running through the door.
"Indeed, the beams have stopped as well, they must not be confident in their close-range abilities. I'll scan outside, check the nearby streets, you check this building."
Kaminari nodded before continuing on.
Iida went back out the window and started running in the air with his second quirk, he needed to locate his target before they started firing again...
Docks of Nabu Island: 10 Minutes before the meeting Aizawa held with his class.
The entire dock was a swath of flame and destruction as the smell of burning oil permeated the air, and every ship on the island was a burning wreck to prevent anyone from getting off said island.
"GONNA HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THAT HAIR BITCH!" Bakugo screamed as he collected the fire that was raging around him and used it to burn any of that sharp hair she sent his way before throwing another AP shot at her.
She swiftly dipped to the side dodging the attack before sharpening her hair to its maximum and firing it once more at the irritating brat that had come down and challenged her and her comrades to a fight as soon as they had arrived.
Bakugo sensed the incoming attack right before it came piercing his flaming wall, he just tch'd and blasted it away with an Explosion. "I could say the same to you. Also, where'd your two little buddies go?"
"They had more important things to take care of, and, I, will be more than enough for you." The woman scoffed.
"Oh is that right? Well, let's see you try." Bakugo scoffed right back before condensing the spreading flames and holding them behind him.
'Seems our intel was right, they all have multiple quirks. Not too surprising considering our target, only means our prep was worth it.' Slice thought to herself, might make things slightly more difficult but nothing they couldn't handle. Though she hoped the boss's surprise attack succeeded, that was easily the riskiest part of the entire mission, if that failed then the entire thing fell apart. An explosion destroying a cell tower in the distance confirmed Chimera had done his job and comms were now down. That was the second most important job as it served two purposes, it both increased the timetable they had to work with and simultaneously made it easier for their group to escape because the heroes wouldn't be able to coordinate their movements.
The explosion in the distance briefly distracted Bakugo who didn't notice the single spear-like hair that had been thrown in his direction. As he turned the thing was far closer to his face than he wanted it to be but right before he could blast it a red-haired person appeared in front of him and blocked the hit.
"Oi shitty hair, took you long enough."
"Sorry, Eraserhead had to make a plan first, and look who I brought." Kirishima pointed to where he'd left Shinsou to hide before Shunpoing in.
Bakugo turned to see Eye Bags hiding behind a staircase, 'Well, that made this easier.' Katsuki thought. He then turned back to the red-haired villain before grinning. "Still think you can take us?"
She just smirked. "No matter how many gnats appear, they are still gnats, all it takes is, one, SWAT!" She decided it was time to quit holding back and activated the second quirk the league of villains gave her.
Bakugo, Kirishima, and Shinsou all watched as she tripled in size, and most worryingly, her hair alongside her. "DID YA THINK YOU WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAD TWO QUIRKS?! HAIR COFFIN!"
The previously thin strings of hair all turned into the size of that singular spear she fired out seconds ago, carpeting and annihilating the terrain surrounding her in a forest of hair, even the concrete was not strong enough to withstand the cloud of hair shards that came out, blanketing the sun in a rain of red spears.
Bakugo quickly moved the condensed fire he had behind him and put it in front of the two to act as a shield, not even risking the possibility that Kirishimas hardening couldn't handle the level of attack being thrown at them. On the other hand, Shinsou just hid in his spot behind the stairs and prayed nothing would hit him as the giant villainess whipped her hair about.
The fire controller felt his shield starting to crumble under the continuous bombardment of sharpened hair, it was slowly whittling away at the fire he had and he knew it, he could keep pulling more in from the surrounding boats but eventually, all the fire in the area would be consumed. They needed to make a window to attack. "KIRISHIMA! FUCKING HIT THE BITCH, MAKE HER STOP!"
"I CAN'T DUDE, I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE I'M GOING, WITH ALL THE FIRE AND HAIR AND SHIT I CAN'T JUMP AT HER!"
Shinsou heard his two classmates despairing and while not as strong as Bakugos or Urarakas explosions, Thunderclap could probably stop the hair for a bit in order for Kirishima to use Shunpo. Though just as soon as he thought to step out and counter-attack, a massive shard of hair stabbed into the ground directly next to his hiding spot. 'Yeah, I'm not dying for that.' He thought to himself. 'She has to stop attacking eventually?' A loud explosion rang through his ears as a nearby car detonated from the unending onslaught of hair. 'Right?'
"BAKUBRO, DROP THE SHIELD! I CAN TAKE IT!" Kirishima shouted behind him.
"NO YOU CAN'T DUMBASS! SHIT! I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING JUST FUCKING BE PATIENT!" Bakugo quickly looked side to side, he could use one of his gauntlets but those hair needles just kept coming, not to mention he'd still be blocking Kirishima's vision with his quirk, just like he was right now with the fire he was pulling in. They needed to get close to this bitch somehow or they'd be stuck like this all day.
Shinsou saw the total fire in the area slowly being consumed by Bakugo and reached the obvious conclusion, that this wasn't sustainable. He was even about to jump in regardless of if he got hurt or not but paused when he saw a brunette drop from the sky.
"AIR CANNON!"
Wendesday: 6:00 pm
The greenette was dashing through the woods, he had to put some distance between himself and that white-haired guy, or better yet, find some allies. His dumbass should've just kept running but when he looked back and saw Jirou, he couldn't just not help her.
Though there was one positive to his foolish attempt to save Jirou, he had a quirk stolen. Stolen! That means they're still in there! It wasn't a permanent bullet! Those completely destroy a quirk, including the quirk factor, it wouldn't have been possible for one to be taken if it was completely destroyed. That meant he just had to play keep away long enough to get his quirks back, his opponent didn't seem to have any mobility quirks or he'd have already caught up by now. Thank god he hadn't stolen something like Galeforce, or he would've been screwed, then again Jirou did skewer the guy, so he kinda needed to take Minor Regeneration or you know, bleed out.
He shook his head and kept limp sprinting, he was headed in the opposite direction he should be going, the 1-A agency was south and he was going north. The reason he wasn't going in the direction of the power-hungry megalomaniac with Kuroe was quite obvious. But still, it meant he was running away not towards his allies.
The quirk stealer had just exited the forest when suddenly an explosion went off to his East, and then another went off to his West, a cell phone tower collapsing following the second. 'A coordinated villain attack and I can't use Warp Gate.' The media is going to have a field day with him if he survived. Izuku could see the title of the article now, "Evil Quirk Stealer Fails to Listen to Orders of U.A., Goes Off on his Own When U.A. told him not to do that."
He shook his head again, surviving this was more important than dealing with the public backlash afterward. His best shot would be to find Mo or Aizawa. Aizawa can remove all of the man's quirks, and Mo can't have hers stolen. That being said taking him to Aizawa was way too risky, if he somehow managed to steal Erasure that would basically be game over, so Mo it was.
'If I were Mo, where would I go.' Izuku thought to himself. His classmates were definitely going to respond to the villain attacks and until Jirou got to the agency no one would know where to find him. Which led to his incredibly stupid idea, go TOWARDS the villains. Obviously, a completely stupid idiotic move, but as it stood, it was all he really had, that guy was going to catch up eventually. A high-risk high reward plan, but considering the alternative was to run and pray, it at least had a chance of success. It also had the bonus of if he found one of the class's speedsters they could take him to safety.
He checked his phone as he kept sprinting, cursing his bad leg, and the fact communications were down. 'Wait ... That's it! The only person who could get the radio tower fixed IS Mo!' She's going to be headed there or is already there due to how fast she is! He quickly darted into the nearby grass fields for cover before he started running west towards the small secondary town with the radio tower, even if he was wrong and Mo wasn't there, his classmates certainly would be, the radio tower is too important not to be a priority for the heroes.
Nearby
'I'm gaining on him slower than I wanted to, I shouldn't have used Weather Manipulation so much but oh well, it was necessary at the time.' The grey-haired man exited the forest and saw some blood on the path in front of him, confirming his target had gone this way. He then activated Scanning and focused on the only humanoid heat signature in the area, he then started aiming his hand at the retreating figure hidden in the grassy reeds. "There you are. And ..., fire."
