With the confusion of the fifth match, Eraser Head and Vlad King began reviewing the outcome once Team 1-A and Team 1-B lined up in front of their teachers.
"It's time for the rundown." Vlad King said.
"Uh, let's just start with Midoriya." Aizawa said. He pointed his finger at Izuku. "What was going on with you?"
"Uh—Well…" Izuku spoke anxiously.
Tokoyami, Shihai, and Kirishima were also intrigued by Izuku's new power.
"A sinister darkness manifested in you." Tokoyami commented.
"You were raging out there. Was that your Quirk?" Shihai questioned.
"It may be a new move, but it was different from your normal super strength." Kirishima stated.
Izuku silently knew that Aizawa was going to question him about the new power he used. He lifted up his hand and looked at it for a moment.
"Yeah, you're right. I'm trying to figure out what it was myself." Izuku said. "I was overflowing with power and couldn't hold it back. It was like something I'd trusted up until now suddenly bared its fangs at me. I was terrified. I didn't know what was going on."
Katsuki, All Might, and Luna listened as they are collectively aware that Izuku was giving everyone a clear explanation without giving away the secret of his One For All Quirk.
"But thanks to Uraraka and Shinso stopping me, I was able to get a handle on things." Izuku continued. "And I realized that whatever this is, it isn't something I should fear. If Shinso hadn't made me calm down with his Brainwashing, I don't know how things would've gone. Shinso asked if my lack of control was a trick, but I really had no idea what was happening." He looked back and forth to Shinso and Uraraka with a grateful smile. "So, thanks to both of you."
"What a thrill!" Midnight praised gleefully. "When Midoriya went out of control, Shinso did great, but Uraraka's swift response has me overflowing with pride! Putting your body on the line to help a friend is true devotion! Yes! So much passion! I can't stand it!"
"Uraraka, you jumped to him right away and saved the day. You never even hesitated." Mina pointed out. She then formed a teasingly playful smirk on her face. "Bet ya hugged him real hard, didn't ya?"
Uraraka's face instantly went beet red in a flustered expression.
"True, I didn't think twice about butting in." Uraraka responded. "Maybe that means I need to be calmer when fighting?" She started fidgeting her index fingers. "Although, it's probably much better than not doing anything and regretting it later, right?"
"You're grown up quite a bit, Uraraka." Aizawa complimented.
Uraraka smiled for her teacher's praise.
"I didn't act out there solely for Midoriya's sake. I just did what Uraraka told me to do." Shinso spoke. "And anyway…I saw Monoma and the others being attacked by the dark energy. I knew our team was going to lose unless somebody responded quickly. You see, I stopped him selfishly. I wanted to fight Midoriya and win. Everything else was just coincidence. If I'm being honest, it was all I could do to take care of myself and—"
Aizawa walked up to Shinso and suddenly tightened the student's capturing scarf by pulling the two ends in his hands. That earned a stunned gasp from Izuku and Uraraka.
"No one asked any more than that from you, Shinso. Everyone here has been training for months to become heroes who can save the people of this world. No one can master being a hero right away." Aizawa scolded. "Except maybe All Might, but he doesn't count. Before becoming a pro hero, you have to make sure you're taking care of yourself. Otherwise, you'll fail. If you don't have the power to stand your ground on your own, then you can't protect anyone else. With that in mind, what you showed us was enough to earn a passing grade."
Shinso looked surprised from hearing his mentor's commending words.
"That's great. But I've still got a ways to go." Shinso replied. "After fighting everyone today, I understand." He grasped his capturing scarf in his hands. "I experienced first-hand how amazing the hero course is. I'm not going to be satisfied by merely passing." He then looked up at the sky. "I need to work harder and aim higher, and live up to my potential."
"That's fine." Aizawa said. "Go at it with a Plus Ultra mentality."
"Yes, sir." Shinso said determinedly.
Shinso! At the very end there, you were trying to get me to brawl head on, so you could whip out your special combat moves, right?" Izuku asked with a praising smile. "It was crazy how fast you acted to try to stop me with those falling pipes. And you used the binding cloth just like Mr. Aizawa does. Honestly, in the first match, I thought your team did a great job of putting your Quirk front and center. But you're definitely more than that power. Your judgment and moves were on par with ours. Watching you hold your own with our classes was so inspiring. I'm blown away. But my Quirk didn't help anyone in the match. In fact, I put people in danger."
Shinso looked at Izuku in awe.
"That's a good point." Eraser Head agreed.
"We still have much to analyze from these fights." Vlad King announced. "But I'd say, in all probability, Shinso will join the hero course in your second year. Just make sure you don't let him outshine you!"
"Got it!" Class A and Class B students understood.
"Which class will he join?" Kaminari asked.
"A?" Kirishima wondered.
"B?" Tetsutetsu wondered.
"The particulars will come later." Vlad King replied. "The training critiques are far from over."
Shinso looked bewildered, but also satisfied and proud of himself for accomplishing his goal.
Mina then raised her hand in the air.
"Speaking of which, question! Can you unleash on Mineta for being the absolute worst?" Mina asked.
"Ugh! That whole 'smashing into your chest' thing was a lucky accident." Mineta retorted. "Don't forget I put my body on the line to keep Shoda and those girls from strategizing."
Suddenly, Monoma stepped in the conservation.
"It's true that, in a tragic twist of fate, Class B was defeated today." Momona ranted. His smile grew into dramatically disturbing. "But, we didn't necessarily lose if you look at what we planned! If I had known that Midoriya's Quirk was a blank, then we could've come up with tactics in response!" He then pointed his fingers directly at Izuku. "In other words, if we were to fight again right now, there's no telling who would win!"
"That's enough outta you!" Vlad King scolded patiently.
"Alright then, let's move to the final match." Eraser Head announced.
Later on, All Might and Tarot Chariot stared up at the scoreboard on the monitoring screen. So far, Class A has three wins, two losses, and one draw.
"Match Six. It's down to this." All Might spoke.
"I know." Tarot Chariot said, placing her hand on her husband's shoulder. "Our daughter has put her heart and soul into her training. But I heard that the Shiroibara Quartet are highly trained with impressive combat skills from Morganite."
"Any info about their Quirks?" All Might asked.
"Not a clue." Tarot Chariot replied. "From what I've heard, the quartet didn't even tell Morganite about their Quirks. I guess you can say that they want to surprise their audience on what they can do."
"Well, we'll know soon enough." All Might said. But still...after watching young Midoriya, I just hope Luna will keep a cool head in this final match.
Luna, Diana, Selene, and Aisha already began walking away from the viewing area.
"Diana!"
Diana halted and turned around just in time to see Kirishima running up to her direction. Luna, Selene, and Aisha stepped aside, allowing Kirishima to finally catch up to Diana.
"You got this, babe!" Kirishima smiled as he wrapped his arms around Diana into a tight hug and snuggled his cheek against hers. "I'm rooting for you all the way!"
"Aww, Kirishima." Diana smiled back. "You're such a rock-hard sweetheart."
Then, Shoto walked up close next to Aisha.
"Good luck out there." Shoto said.
Shoto kissed Aisha on the cheek, making her smile with a flushed face.
Luna, Diana, Kirishima, Selene, and the rest of Class 1-A looked on with surprised faces.
"No way!" Kirishima exclaimed.
"Knew it." Selene smiled, placing her arms on her hips.
"Same." Luna agreed.
"It's about damn time." Diana grinned.
"Thanks, Shoto." Aisha smiled.
"Luna."
Luna turned around to meet Katsuki, who walked up close to her.
"Hey, Bakugo..." Luna said.
Katsuki grabbed Luna's waist and pressed his lips hard against hers with passion. They ignored the jaw-dropping faces coming from Aisha, Shoto, Selene, Diana, and Kirishima. After Katsuki released her, Luna silently stared at him with a blushing face.
"That was for luck." Katsuki said. "Kill this match with everything you got."
Luna grew a soft smile on her face.
"You got it." Luna said.
Luna turned around and walked forward past her jaw-dropping friends.
"Let's roll, girls." Luna said.
Kirishima released Diana from the hug, allowing his girlfriend to follow after Luna with Aisha and Selene. Luna also paid no attention to the jaw-dropping expressions from the rest of her Class 1-A classmates. Class 1-B students looked collectively surprised as their rival class were.
"BAKUGO AND LUNA ARE A THING NOW?! WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?!" Class 1-A students exclaimed in a complete mix of shock and surprise.
Izuku was the only one who let out a happy smile as he had already sensed the growing romantic connection between Katsuki and Luna.
All Might turned his surprised face to his smiling wife.
"Did you know about this?" All Might asked.
"I did." Tarot Chariot answered. "Trust me, I was surprised as you are when Luna told me that Bakugo had apologized to her for his late-night actions before his house arrest chores. But he has proven to be the right guy for her even though he's rough around the edges."
On the monitoring screen, Team 1-A and Team 1-B headed out to their starting positions.
Round Six: Luna Yagi, Diana Asaka, Aisha Rozu, Selene Hoshi vs. Hessonite, Rubellite, Ametrine, and Sapphire
"It's now time for the sixth and final training match!" Vlad King announced. "The one's for all the glory. Let's get ready to witness the final showdown. Are you ready? And begin!"
Izuku and Katsuki looked up at Luna and her team on the monitoring screen.
Three wins, two losses, and one draw. Izuku thought. You got this, Luna.
Take them down. Katsuki thought. Don't you dare lose.
Rubellite, Ametrine, and Hessonite stood in front of Sapphire.
"Alright, ladies." Sapphire said. "It's time to show Tarot Chariot what we're made of. The four of us watched the Sports Festival and saw what those girls can do with their Quirks. So, attacking them as a group is not an option."
"That means divide and conquer is the only plan we have." Ametrine said.
"Good because I wanna take on Diana." Rubellite grinned as she cracked her knuckles. "I've been itching to have a fight with her since the moment I watched her match against that explosive boy."
"I wanna take Luna." Hessonite smiled.
"And I'll take on Aisha." Ametrine said.
"That leaves me with Selene. Then, it's settled." Sapphire declared. "Let's go put on a show."
Luna, Selene, Diana, and Aisha gathered in a circle at their checkpoint from the opposite side of the training area.
"Alright, girls. Our class is counting on us to win this." Selene said. "We may not know what kind of Quirks they got, but so I think divide and conquer will be the best plan we're gonna have to take."
"Maybe I can use my Ghost to scout their hiding spots." Aisha said.
"Nice idea, but we need something that can scout on the Shiroibara Quartet." Luna. "Like Diana's green aura. She can send out her holograms that will not only scout in the air undetected, but she can send four holograms of ourselves as an element of surprise."
"Now, that's a plan!" Diana smiled. "I'm so on it!"
Diana manifested her green aura around herself. She pressed her hands together and then opened them to create a holographic monarch butterfly, sending it to fly through the air at high speed.
At the viewing area, Class 1-A students observed Diana's holographic monarch butterfly flying across the arena on the monitoring screen.
"Smart move for Diana." Jiro noted. "Thanks to her hologram, she'll be able to scout and pinpoint the other team's location without being undetected."
"That's my girl!" Kirishima grinned.
The holographic monarch butterfly continued fluttering across the arena. It landed on a pipeline and zoomed its eyes to locate the Shiroibara Quartet's location as it began watching their entire conservation.
"You found them?" Aisha asked.
"Yup." Diana answered. "They're going for the divide and conquer plan just like us. Sapphire wants to fight Selene. Hessonite chooses Luna. Ametrine wants to challenge Aisha." She cracked her knuckles with a determined grin on her face. "And that leaves Rubellite to me."
"Alright, girls." Selene said. "Let's put our training to the test and win this match."
"Roger." Luna, Aisha, and Diana nodded.
"And for cautious purposes, I'll split my holograms." Diana said. "That way, I can keep tabs for anything out of the blue."
As Diana snapped her fingers, the holographic monarch butterfly began to materialize into three more holograms. One by one, the holographic monarch butterflies fluttered and tracked down the Shiroibara Quartet from different directions.
"They're on the move." Diana reported.
"Let's go." Luna said.
Luna, Diana, Aisha, and Selene sprang across the arena and went separate ways to locate Team 1-B.
Rubellite completely covered her entire forearms in durable red crystals into a razor-sharp claw shape. She started firing off several red crystal shards at Diana out of her claws at rapid speed. But Diana manifested her yellow aura around herself and generated a large force field that protected herself from the rapid crystal shards. Diana then switched into her red aura and began sending out a barrage of red energy blasts that made Rubellite avoid them with fast speed and acrobatic flips.
As Rubellite kept dodging red energy blasts, Diana stopped firing her energy blasts and then switched into her orange aura, flying right above in front of Rubellite. Just as Diana zoomed straight towards Rubellite at full speed, Rubellite sprang high to catch up to Diana. Everything slowed down as the two girls came face to face. Diana stared at Rubellite with wide eyes.
"You know, after I watched you fighting with that explosion boy from the Sports Festival on TV, I've been itching to have some fun with you." Rubellite said with a smile.
Rubellite attacked Diana with a series of claw swipes and then punched her hard to the ground.
Aisha floated in the air and levitated pipes that she broke off seconds ago. She then projected them at Ametrine one by one. Ametrine began swinging her eight purple durable crystalline tentacles from her back, repeatedly knocking the pipes away and protecting herself at the same time.
"Aisha Rozu. It's an honor to finally meet you." Ametrine said. "Your Quirks are truly amazing. I can't wait to learn more about your capabilities during this match."
Aisha fired one more pipe at Ametrine, who knocked it with two of her crystal tentacles. She then noticed that Aisha had vanished out of her sight. Ametrine gasped with wide eyes. She looked over her shoulder and saw Aisha standing right behind him. Aisha swiftly delivered a roundhouse kick, but Ametrine's tentacles managed to wrap Aisha and squeezed her fiercely before slamming her to the ground several times and tossing her away to a nearby building wall.
Selene quickly fired off a barrage of star-like orbs from her hands, which Sapphire began dodging them with swift reflexes. Sapphire extended a pair of blue durable crystalline wings from her back, flipping them and flying high up into the air. She then fired a rapid barrage of feather-shaped crystals down at Selene with a swipe of her wings. But Selene avoided the feather crystals with remarkable speed and agility.
"I admire your incredible Quirk ever since I watched your fight at the Sports Festival on TV." Sapphire said. "You must be a very honorable student."
After avoiding the last remaining feather crystals, Selene then flipped high onto the pipeline and released more stellar energy orbs at Sapphire in rapid succession. As Sapphire avoided the stellar energy orbs in the air, the feather crystals began to float off the ground and flew straight towards Selene, striking her one by one in rapid speed.
Hessonite began rolling into a rapid ball-like shape, shooting out multiple yellow durable crystal shards straight towards Luna at rapid speed. But Luna was able to dodge the charging crystal shards with remarkable backflips.
"Yay! I'm going to have fun playing with you!" Hessonite grinned.
Hessonite stopped rolling and aimed her crystalline tail, firing off more crystal shards that made Luna evade away.
At the viewing area, All Might and Tarot Chariot observed Team 1-B's Quirks on the monitoring screen.
"So, this is their power." Tarot Chariot said, placing her hands on her hips. "I'll admit I'm impressed."
"A Quirk that constructed durable crystals into strong, sturdy prehensile appendage." All Might said. "Very impressive, indeed."
"The one fighting Luna has a crystal version of your Quirk, Ojiro." Shoji pointed out.
"Yeah, no kidding." Ojiro agreed. "That's so cool."
Meanwhile, Luna continued to evade Hessonite's crystal shard barrage. Luna then rushed herself straight at Hessonite, who quickly protected herself against Luna's energy bolts with her crystalline tail. She kept on swinging herself with his crystal tail when Luna continued bombarding her Quirk at her.
Luna performed a swift roundhouse kick, which Hessonite managed to jump back and then used her tail to push herself upward in the air. Hessonite then fired crystal shards towards Luna, who blocked the attack with her Quirk. But that wasn't gonna stop Hessonite, who charged forward and swung her crystal tail that attacked the 1-A student, sending her to fly straight to a nearby pipe. Luna quickly recovered and flipped onto the pipe.
Luna's eyes widened in surprise when she watched Hessonite creating a large round crystal from the tip of her crystalline tail.
As Hessonite prepared to shoot Luna with a large round crystal, Luna let out a secretive smirk as she unleashed a brimming sensation around her arms. Hessonite then fired the large round crystal that reached Luna in an explosion. She squinted her eyes at the glow within the dusty smoke. Luna propelled herself upwards out of the dusty smoke and flipped down to the ground when she landed perfectly on her feet.
Hessonite widened her eyes in absolute surprise.
"H-How…?" Hessonite gasped.
With a smile, Luna showed off her pink exoskeleton fists around her arms.
The entire Class 1-A looked on in a complete mix of shock and surprise on their faces. Mostly Katsuki, who stared at the monitoring screen with a stunned expression. Even Eraser Head's eyes lit up in a speechless manner.
"WWWWWWHHHAAATTT?!" Class 1-A students screamed.
Luna cracked her knuckles in preparation.
"Like what you see? I called them Exofists." Luna said with a smile. "Now, let's keep playing."
Luna jumped high in the air and aimed her Exofists down at Hessonite.
Only Tarot Chariot, All Might, and Izuku smiled with sheer joy as they watched Luna's Exofists coming to view on the screen.
In the cloaking aircraft, Oriana began floating in midair. After a moment, she floated down to the floor and turned to the window. Carina and Ariella stood from behind.
"Well, isn't this splendid? It looks like our dear Luna is finally coming to terms with her power." Oriana said.
Carina and Ariella exchanged confused expressions. Oriana then formed a wide, satisfied smile.
"I can feel my granddaughter's brimming essence within the Divine Trinity." Oriana added.
Hessonite quickly shielded herself against Luna's rapid, continuous punches with her crystalline tail. She quietly knew that she wouldn't be able to defend against the sheer force of Luna's Divine Trinity Quirk for very long.
Luna then moved farther away and aimed her Exofists forward.
Exo Rockets! Luna thought with a smile.
Luna fired off her Exofists, launching them straight to Hessonite in a rocket-like fashion. Hessonite didn't have enough time to dodge the attack, which Luna's Exofists attacked and smashed her straight to the building wall. Hessonite moved away from the large carter and charged forward for a crystalline tail strike, but Luna concentrated her Exofists and delivered a powerful punch to Hessonite's stomach with her left fist that sent her flying up in the air. Hessonite steadied herself and then shot out multiple yellow crystal shards straight towards Luna from above. Luna then zoomed away with swift speed.
Some of the Class 1-A students began cheering for Luna's Exofist performance on the monitoring screen. But Katsuki is the only one who kept staring at the monitoring screen with a surprised expression.
What the hell?! Katsuki exclaimed. Could this be the Exofist that Luna was telling me and Deku about? His eyes glanced at the smiling Izuku. I could understand All Might and his wife knowing about this development, but it doesn't take two seconds to know Deku knew about it before me. He looked back at the monitoring screen with a smile. But who cares? I'm already impressed. Kick her ass and win, Luna!
Ametrine searched for Aisha around the area, but Aisha quietly concealed behind a pipe within the labyrinth of large pipes in her ghost mode.
Okay, this is getting me nowhere. Despite my Quirk, this girl is exceedingly fast and strong. Aisha thought. If I'm gonna take her down, I need to try a new approach. I need…Her eyes widened in realization. To be unpredictable!
Aisha peeked over the pipe and scanned the large pipes around her, determining fast possible calculations to determine the exact spots where she should strike her opponent.
With a grin, Aisha made her right arm tangible and slammed her fist to a nearby pipe. The loud sound caught Ametrine's attention, making her follow the sound straight into the pipe labyrinth.
When Ametrine made it halfway, Aisha's hands began glowing in sea green energy. She launched six crescent-shaped blades of psychokinesis that hit different corners at the pipes in different angles around Ametrine, forcing her to dodge and block with her crystalline tentacles to the point of exhaustion. Ametrine then looked up to see Aisha hovering above her. Aisha aimed her hand down, enveloping her opponent with psychokinesis. She lifted Ametrine off the ground and slammed her hard into every nearby pipe all around at full speed. Aisha then launched a wide-eyed Ametrine straight down and smashed her hard into the ground.
Once Aisha hovered down on the ground, she looked over the crater to see Ametrine lying on the ground in defeat.
Yes, it worked! Aisha smirked. Better tell the others.
Diana protected herself from Rubellite's rapid slashing claws inside an indestructible yellow force field. Undetected, Diana's holographic monarch butterfly flew through the force field and landed on her right shoulder.
"Diana." Aisha spoke through the holographic monarch butterfly.
"Aisha?" Diana said. "I hope you're having as much fun as I am right now."
"Not anymore. Ametrine's down and out." Aisha replied.
"Really? How?" Diana asked.
"Listen closely." Aisha said. "The Shiroibara Quartet watched and observed our every move from the Sports Festival. Think unpredictability and take her down."
"Got it." Diana said.
Diana dropped down her force field and leaped away. She switched her orange aura and flew forward, slamming herself towards Rubellite with brute force from her fists and crashing her fiercely to the building wall. Diana flew backwards and manifested her red aura on her right side before firing a red energy blast directly at Rubellite, who blocked it with her crystalline claws. But the energy blast destroyed Rubellite's crystalline claws, which allowed Diana to kick her opponent's chin in a somersault style. Then, Diana continued performing a barrage of backflipping somersaults that knocked Rubellite into the air. Diana flew right above Rubellite and unleashed a large red energy blast that sent her falling on her back.
Diana landed on the ground and stared at the defeated Rubellite.
"Class A: two. Sidekicks: zero." Diana said with a victorious smirk.
Hessonite landed back on her feet and fired a hail of yellow crystal shards at Luna at fast speed from her tail. Luna slammed her Exofists to the ground, releasing a pink shockwave that knocked Hessonite away from her with great force. Hessonite fiercely performed a full split with her legs and began bombarding Luna with large yellow crystal shards. But Luna zoomed away from the crystal shards one by one without getting hit. Luna and Hessonite kept delivering swift blows that blocked each other's attacks. But the powerful punch of Luna's Exofist pushed Hessonite back with sheer force.
Alright, I got her worn down. Luna thought. Now, let me switch to Starlight Shock for a KO.
Luna vanished her Exofists and activated Dazzling Trinity, igniting pink triquetra tattoo-like marks all over her arms and legs.
"Marvelous, Luna."
Luna gasped sharply. She started searching around the area frantically.
No...no. Luna thought with stunned eyes. Not now.
When Luna looked forward, she took a step back as Oriana stood before her. Her eyes grew even wider when she found herself in a lustrous, silvery-looking domain inside the mental world.
"I must say when Carina told me about that new ability, I almost couldn't believe it myself." Oriana said with a vicious smile.
"What are you doing here?" Luna demanded.
"I told you before, Luna." Oriana replied. "If you join the coven, I could teach you more into new heights."
"I've said it before and I'll say it again." Luna snapped. "No matter how many times you try to persuade me, I will never join you."
The pink triquetra mark started to glitch faintly on Luna's forehead.
Back in the viewing area, Tarot Chariot gasped quietly when she pulled her hat down over her eyes. She backed away from her husband, who immediately took notice. He quickly caught his wife in his arms and pulled her up straight before Aizawa detected suspicion.
"Ursula, what's wrong?" All Might asked in a whisper.
"It's my mother Oriana." Tarot Chariot whispered back in a mix of fear and worry. "She's here. She's in our daughter's mind. But the question is…why?"
Hessonite took deep breaths, but she raised a confused eyebrow when she observed the distracted look on Luna's face.
"You don't belong with your parents nor the high school." Oriana said.
"Heh, like you know anything about me!" Luna retorted. "You just found out about my existence the moment you sent the Shatrix to capture me, so don't act like you're the observant of my life!"
"That's true, but as long as we share the same Quirk, we're always connected." Oriana said. "You may handle the control of the Divine Trinity, but you are more dangerous when you lose it."
Luna turned away, trying to ignore her grandmother.
"You need a teacher. A mentor." Oriana continued. "Come with me, Luna, and I can teach you to shine brighter than a star."
"Forget it." Luna answered. "Now, get out of my head."
"I see." Oriana said with a heartless smirk. "You're continuing to forge your path of a hero just like your mother and father. It's a shame what happened to your father when he fought All For One. Despite all his boundless strength and speed, he sacrificed all of his powers just to save a powerful villain and was forced to retire as a worthless weakling."
Luna balled her fists angrily and enveloped them in blazing pink energy.
"I did try to warn you, but you still want to become a pointless hero just like your parents." Oriana said.
Venting her rage, Luna turned back around and glared furiously at Oriana.
"Shut up! Get out the hell out of my mind!" Luna screamed.
Luna unleashed a large blast of pink energy straight towards Oriana.
But Oriana swiftly moved out of the way. Her eyes glowed brightly white as she formed five energized duplicates of herself, sending them to circle around Luna at fast speed.
"If you're ready to open your eyes at last, I'll be waiting." Oriana said.
Oriana disappeared out of thin air.
Luna began firing her pink energy blasts at her grandmother's energized duplicates, but Oriana's duplicates scattered away while evading the energy blasts.
In the real world, Luna was already firing pink energy blasts randomly. The pink triquetra mark kept glitching brightly on her forehead.
"What the heck is going on with her?!" Hessonite cried in shock. "She was all focused and driven before, and now she's going crazy!"
Hessonite immediately sped away from Luna's random energy blasts and ducked behind the pipe.
At the viewing area, Class 1-A students started at the monitoring screen with a mix of surprise and confused expressions.
"What's going with Luna?" Jiro wondered.
"It's not like her blasting her Quirk without aiming at her opponent." Tsuyu stated.
"Could it be the work of Hessonite's Quirk?" Uraraka questioned.
No, something's not right! She's losing control! Izuku exclaimed. His eyes turned to Tarot Chariot and All Might, who were looking very worrisome for her daughter. His eyes then moved to Katsuki, who silently stared at Luna with wide, shocking eyes. Guess I'm not the only one who knows it too.
Elsewhere, Aisha levitated an unconscious Rubellite and Ametrine through the open door and straight inside the jail cell. Diana then closed and locked the door shut.
"We rule." Aisha grinned.
Aisha and Diana high-fived each other.
"Hell yeah!" Diana grinned back.
Suddenly, Diana gasped sharply. Through the eyes of her holographic monarch butterfly, she caught visual images of Luna rampaging the area with her Quirk in quick succession. Diana looked extremely shocked by what she just saw from her holographic creation.
"Diana, what's wrong?" Aisha asked, touching her best friend's shoulder.
"It's Luna." Diana said. "Remember when she went crazy at that Nomu back at USJ? It's happening again. We're gonna need Selene's help on this one."
"Got it." Aisha nodded. "We'll regroup afterwards."
With that, Aisha and Diana rushed separate ways.
Meanwhile, Selene caught the sight of a large barrage of feather-shaped crystals charging straight into her direction. But she quickly backflipped away and shot out her stellar orbs to repel the crystalline feathers at the same time.
Once Selene landed on her feet, Aisha phased through the pipes and buildings thanks to the activation of her ghost Quirk. She quickly hovered straight down next to Selene when she saw her best friend in her sight.
"Selene, it's me." Aisha spoke.
"Aisha?" Selene said. "What's the status?"
"Diana and I took down Rubellite and Ametrine." Aisha replied. "But right now, we need to regroup."
"Regroup? Why?" Selene asked again.
"It's Luna." Aisha said. "She's going out of control with her Quirk just like before in USJ. Diana's on her way to calm her down as we speak."
"I understand." Selene said. "Let me take care of Sapphire first."
Selene raised her hands up in the air above her and generated a large stellar orb from her palms. As she fired it upwards, the stellar orb erupted into a meteor shower that was sent all around Sapphire upon contact. Sapphire's eyes widened on her horrified face as she quickly shielded herself with her crystalline wings.
With that, Selene and Aisha hurried off.
Luna continued unleashing aimless energy blasts around the area. She paid no attention to the brightly glitching triquetra mark on her forehead. However, Hessonite hasn't moved an inch from the pipe. At the same time, she couldn't find the right moment to strike her Quirk.
Damn it! I can't strike my Quirk! Hessonite exclaimed. I don't know what's going on with this girl right now, but it's possible that she's gonna demolish the place if she keeps this up!
As Luna kept firing, Hessonite caught someone flying in the air. It was Diana! In a hybrid semblance of orange and blue aura, Diana dove straight down and flew right in front of Luna as she aimed her glowing hands at her best friend's face.
"I'm sorry…again." Diana apologized.
Diana then unleashed a bright blue exploding light in front of Luna's face. The impact of a blinding flash ceased Luna's mental rampaging, making her back away and rubbing her eyes. The triquetra mark even faded away from her forehead. Luna blinked her eyes back into focus and looked around, seeing Diana stand before her and Oriana's clones vanish out of sight.
"Uh no. Don't tell me that I...?" Luna asked with a hesitant look on her face.
I'm glad that's over. Hessonite thought with a relieved sigh. She then grew a cunning smile on her face. Now's my chance!
Hessonite charged forward in a nick of speed. She jumped up above Diana and Luna, aiming her crystalline tail down at them. As Hessonite was about to strike, sea green waves of psychokinetic energy surrounded her that disabled her movement and her Quirk.
Luna and Diana looked up to see Aisha floating in front of Hessonite. Selene also ran up to them.
"Thanks for the save, Aisha!" Diana smiled with a thumb-up.
"No problem!" Aisha smiled back.
Hessonite tried lifting her crystalline tail with little struggle from the paralyzing psychokinetic aura. But Aisha took notice and then unleashed her full-scale attack that blasted Hessonite away to the ground with a swipe of her hand.
Then, Aisha soared down and phased herself and her friend intangibly through the ground with her ghost Quirk.
Inside an empty building, Aisha, Diana, and Selene crouched around Luna, who hugged her knees close to her chest with a slightly scared face. Earlier, Diana explained to Luna about her out of control outburst against Hessonite before she, Aisha, and Selene came to the rescue.
"Look, I'm...so sorry. I...I didn't mean to..." Luna said.
"It's alright, Luna." Diana assured, placing a comforting hand on Luna's shoulder. "It wasn't like how it was back at USJ, though it did look like you were fighting someone else instead of Hessonite."
With a deep sigh, Luna stood up on her feet.
"You're right. It wasn't Hessonite I was fighting. It was Oriana." Luna said.
That made Selene, Diana, and Aisha stand up in disbelief.
"Oriana?!" Diana repeated in shock.
"As in your grandma?!" Selene exclaimed.
"But how?" Aisha asked.
"I don't know, but I think because we share the same Quirk, we are mentally connected. Due to my inexperience, she can come and go as she pleases." Luna replied. She clenched her hands into tight fists. "She's trying to get me by joining her side. She tried before in my dream and again minutes ago, except I've fallen into her insult about my parents, especially my dad's retirement when he found All For One. It made me so angry that I..."
Selene placed her right hand on Luna's shoulder.
"Luna, it's alright. We know how hard it was for you to learn about your father's retirement." Selene assured. "But you don't have to go through this alone."
"You got us and we got you." Aisha added.
"You're always with us through our problems. Let us be there for you." Diana agreed.
Luna looked speechless for a moment. She then embraced her friends with a hug while fighting off her tears. Selene, Aisha, and Diana hugged Luna back with warm smiles.
"Thanks, girls." Luna said.
"Anytime." Selene, Aisha, and Diana said.
Luna gently released her friends and wiped off her tears.
"Okay. Right now, we need a plan." Luna said. "If we're gonna win this match, we need a strategic approach that they would've never expected."
"Aisha and I have an idea for that." Diana said as she and Aisha exchanged sideway grins.
Back in the viewing area, Class 1-A students stared at the monitoring screen with stunned faces. Mostly Izuku and Katsuki, who couldn't believe what they witnessed when they watched Luna behaving unreasonably earlier.
All Might pulled Tarot Chariot close to him, while his wife quietly took deep breaths.
"I've felt it, Toshinori." Tarot Chariot whispered. "Oriana's poisoning Luna within her mind, making her fight mentally instead of reality."
"But her friends saved her, snapping her back to her senses." All Might whispered back. "Your mother can't harm our daughter anymore."
"I know, but…" Tarot Chariot said.
"Hey, look!"
Tarot Chariot and All Might turned their heads at the monitoring screen, making their eyes widen in surprise.
Elsewhere, Hessonite lifted herself up and stood on her feet just as Sapphire ran up to her.
"Hessonite, are you alright?" Sapphire asked.
"I'm fine." Hessonite replied. "But where's Rubellite and Ametrine?"
"No doubt those Class A girls took them down." Sapphire said. "It's just us now. We need to regroup and formulate a new plan."
Before they could make a move, a star-like orb came flying out of nowhere and landed near the two sisters. Hessonite looked down at the orb in confusion, but only Sapphire's eyes lit up in realization. It was too late for her to warn her little sister. Selene's stellar orb erupted into tiny orb shots, causing the sisters to scream in pain. A yellow force field formed around Hessonite. Hessonite let out a startled cry before the force field dragged her away with it. Before Sapphire could rescue her sister, sea green psychokinetic energy enveloped all over her whole body and flung her away.
Once Hessonite and Sapphire were separated from each other, Team 1-A began to launch their full attack.
Sapphire was brought inside the pipe labyrinth, where Selene and Aisha hid within the darkness before exchanging knowing grins. Aisha quickly charged ahead and phased intangibly through the ground in her ghostly body. She zoomed tangibly in front of a wide-eyed Sapphire and delivered multiple spin kicks that trapped and bounced her in a tornado-like fashion before knocking her back with her psychokinesis. Aisha's move propelled Sapphire straight toward Selene, who flipped up in the air. Selene posed a ninja-like technique and created nine planets orbiting around her, firing all nine planets forward and hurling them at Sapphire all at once.
When the dusty smoke cleared out, Sapphire was still on her feet. But, for a quick second, she collapsed with a fatigued groan.
Selene and Aisha shared victorious smiles as they high-fived each other.
Hessonite was brought out to a wide, open area, where Diana and Luna stood on the top of the pipes. They exchanged nodding smiles and quickly jumped off to the ground. As Diana snapped her fingers to vaporize her force field, Diana charged forward and manifested her entire body with green aura as she spawned holographic copies of herself that sprinted all around Hessonite.
Diana's holograms rammed towards Hessonite with brute force and brutally slammed her hard to the ground. Hessonite managed to spring in the air and rolled into a rapid ball-like shape, shooting out multiple yellow crystal shards straight towards the holograms at rapid speed. One by one, the holograms dematerialized, which left the real Diana standing.
Diana manifested herself with red aura and fired red energy blasts heading straight to Hessonite's direction. But Hessonite swung her tail to deflect the energy blasts that were coming at her.
Little did Hessonite know that Luna sprang right behind her. Luna materialized her Exofists around her arms.
All Might, Tarot Chariot, Izuku, and Katsuki stared at Luna's Exofists with wide-eyed faces.
Concentrate, Luna. All Might and Tarot Chariot thought.
You can do this. Katsuki thought.
You can win. Izuku thought.
Hessonite swiftly backed away by doing backflips, but Luna rapidly kicked her with a flurry of kicks before her last kick launched Hessonite into the air. Then, Luna came after Hessonite and fought against her in rapid punches until the blue mystic kunoichi jumped backward to go upward and hit the black mystic ninja with a powerful icy kick, causing Hessonite to fall hard onto the ground.
Hessonite's eyes swiftly detected Luna and tried to swing her crystalline tail, but Luna quickly dodged out of the way and grabbed her tail. Hessonite's eyes widened in a mix of shock and fear. Luna pulled the crystalline tail that dragged Hessonite towards her. She drew back her left Exofist and launched a powerful punch straight to Hessonite's stomach.
Then, Luna spun around at a rapid speed and launched Hessonite down below. In mid-air, Hessonite managed to steady herself. She then gasped in shock as Luna caught up to her. Hessonite stared at the smirking Luna with wide eyes as everything slowed down between the two.
Time to win! Luna declared. Exo Rockets!
Luna delivered a barrage of rapid punches all over Hessonite. She then grabbed Hessonite with both Exofists and fired them, launching her straight to the ground at rocketing speed.
Afterwards, Team 1-A successfully tossed Sapphire and Hessonite straight into their jail cell together with Ametrine and Rubellite.
The sixth and final Joint Training match was concluded. On the monitoring screen, Class A had won the match with a perfect 4-0 victory. Only Tarot Chariot, All Might, Izuku, and Katsuki smiled with satisfaction Luna's composed performance woth her Exofists.
"Things looked awfully dangerous for a second there, but the sixth match has now concluded." Midnight announced. "This marks the end of today's training. You've learned about your enemies and yourselves. You fought bravely, and showed your pro potential. Now, without further ado, the results!"
Class 1-A and 1-B students looked up at the large viewing screen that displayed all the results of the six matches one by one.
"Match one: A. Match two: B. Match three: draw. Match four: A. Match five: A. And Match six: A. The winners of the hero-course battle are Class 1-A!" Midnight declared.
Class 1-A students cheered with joy for their absolute victory. Class 1-B students, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel very unsatisfied about their loss.
Enjoy and review.
