"For real?" Said Softener boy as Glasses charged towards him.
"I've maxed out Recipro's horse-power and minimized fuel consumption! It lasts ten minutes! For ten minutes, nobody can stop me!"
"Are you trying to catch us off guard with your new move-" "However! I move a bit too fast to retain full control!"
Glasses was moving around him so fast it was hard to track his movements. But he'd gotten in a few hits on Mud Face. "End of the road, Mudman!"
Mud face just dove into the ground, softening it so he could swim around and get away from Glasses.
"Recipro Turbo, wow!" Cried Deku. "That's so much faster than even Gran Torino!"
Wait'll you see my speed, Deku.
"Ever since you started with that Shoot Style or whatever, Iida seems to have gotten his mojo back," said Ballhead.
"I still need him to teach me some kicking moves."
"Super speedy, Iida!" Cheered Uraraka."
"Hey, look at Ojiro!" Said Raccoon Eyes, turning our attention to Tail's fight with Drill Boy.
"He's fighting so normally!" said Ears.
"The way he's getting beat is so ordinary! It's like Ojiro hasn't changed at all! C'mon, man!" Said Tape Arms.
"You're done!" Drill Boy looked ready to take him out -
Until Glasses grabbed him and pulled him away.
"Iida!"
"I'll put spiral in prison, so I must leave the battlefield for now. I'll be back shortly! In the meantime support Todoroki because Mudman is probably headed his way. I'll be back in a flash!" He said all this very fast.
"You got it!" Said Tail.
"Get offa me! I didn't get to really show off yet!" whined Drill Boy.
"Owww! Settle down, you! Why should I allow a villain to show off!?"
"Honenuki must've given you the slip, right? You saw what a pain he can be, so shouldn't you go after him instead? This is no time for you to be interrupting our one-on-one fight, Ingenium!"
"This is how my brother would proceed, so I will do the same! If I cannot take proper action during training, then how can I hope to act when it counts!?"
So anyway, IcyHot was still fighting Real Steel who was screaming "My fist!" While punching through his ice.
"Since he turns into steel, a little cold doesn't slow him down much," said Sugar Man.
"TEtsutetsu, I've got a lot to learn from you!" Kirishima sighed.
I rolled my eyes. Seriously, IcyHot? "The ice ain't doing squat, but he keeps trying it? Rookie move."
"My steel fist of justice is gonna make ice cubes outta your defense!" Steel Boy snarled.
"Then how about - a wall of flames?" IcyHot turned, finally unleashing his finisher.
"You handle Tsunotori!" He told Dupli Arms.
"Right!"
"Do you have any clue as to why I decided to take you on?" Came Steel's voice from the fiery inferno. "Figured it out yet? Cuz your stuff doesn't work on me! Time to strike while the iron is hot!"
"Fight on, TEtsutetsu!" Said Pony Girl.
"This was part of my quirk training! You ever spend a day inside a furnace?" He was coming towards IcyHot turned into a hot fiery poker.
"Tetsutetsu! Pin down Todoroki! Don't let him get away! Overwhelm him in close combat to keep him from firing off massive moves!" Cheered Vlad King Sensei.
"Half and Half can't put a dent in me! I bulldozed past my limits to steel myself like this! Just gotta keep pounding away till you're out cold!"
IcyHot held up his left hand. "Aw, crap!"
Steel backed off then as something came from his left side. "Get back. Unless you want melt!"
And the camera began to phase out as IcyHot unleashed a massive wall of flame from his left hand side, enough to point his hair upwards!
"Young Todoroki. Firepower on par with Endeavor," said All Might.
Our view of this fight was now blurred.
Ok. IcyHot. Show us what you can do. Crap, camera's on the fritz...
Don't go losing this.
Meanwhile Pony chick was fighting Dupli Arms.
"Sorry, tentacle, but I always trot right past the Octopus tank at the Aquarium. I can't stand the things!"
"I'm no stranger to being feared," replied Dupli Arms.
"So it's time to end this! I'm gonna lock you up!" She threw four massive horns his way, and he duplicated nearly several dozen massive arms, saying, "I didn't expect any less from you."
"Got you," she grinned as another horn came up from behind him. He grabbed it with an extra arm.
"Thanks for the assist." And Tail came in with a spinning attack, knocking Pony Girl down and grabbing her horns.
"You're not much of a threat if you can't shoot your horns!"
"Oh the way you got me! So darn ordinary!?"
"I'll tie her up and get her to jail. Todoroki needs your - help - "
"CRap, it's Honenuki!" Cried Tail as the ground beneath their feet turned to liquid.
"I'll be taking Tsunotori back now. WE're actually friends, you know."
Meanwhile, small views were being restored of Steel fighting IcyHot.
"Wuzza matter, Todoroki! Slowing down?"
"You're not as quick as before either!" HE aimed a fire attack at him - but then a pipe came from above, softened by Mud Man.
"I can't have you melting our TEtsutetsu!"
"Honenuki!"
"Now harden!" But someone had kicked off his mask.
"This time you won't get away from me, mudman!" Glasses had arrived.
"Take this to heart, villains! The rescue takes top priority."
IcyHot and Steel both looked too beat to move. Mud Man had reached out as Glasses swept IcyHot up in his arms to take him out of the way, and softened the bottom of a giant water tower. He screamed, "Push it down, Tetsutetsu!"
No freaking way.
It fell down on Glasses and IcyHot, as Steel and Mud man passed out.
"Look at that! All fighters are down for the count! BUT THEY'RE NOTTECHNICALLY OUT OF THE GAME UNTIL THEY'RE THROWN IN PRISON! HOW'LL THIS PLAY OUT!? IIDA'S STILL CONSCIOUS, BUT HE'S GOING NOWHERE FAST! IT APPEARS THAT KAIBARA'S HUMBLE RESISTANCE HAS LEFT A MARK! OUR SPINNING BOY DID ALL HE COULD TO SLOW DOWN HIS JAILER JUST BEFORE BEING THROWN IN THE SLAMMER! WELL DONE KAIBARA! YOU'RE THE REAL MVP!"
"This Biased commentating ain't getting any better, Vlad Sensei!" shouted Raccoon Eyes. "Hey. But if everyone is down for the count, then Class A keeps a 1-0 lead!"
"I'm afraid not, Ashido," Ponytail corrected her, back from healing, as CopyCat bastard burst out laughing.
"Have you been too distracted by the bombastic battle to notice what else was going on? While Tetsutetsu and Todoroki's intense fight unfolded…"
Dupli Arms and Pony Girl's fight had changed tacts.
"Shoji and Pony! I thought she was all tied up with Ojiro's tail! Where's Ojiro?" Cried Raccoon Arms.
"Let me tell you…" Ponytail said quietly.
SEems like after Mud Man showed up and turned the ground liquid he'd pulled Ojiro offa Pony girl, or tried to.
"This is too much!" He'd cried, spinning around in an attempt to throw Mud Man away.
"That did it, Ojiro!" Dupli Arms cried, reaching out to seize Tail and Pony and pull them out of Mud Man's grasp.
"You…" Pony Girl shouted. "Run on ahead, Honenuki!" Her horns blasted out from the softened ground and skewered Tail in the tail.
"Skewer me alll you like, I'm not letting G-"
"Fine by me if you don't let go! Quad horn power will send you straight to jail!"
"Again, fighters are still in the game as long as they're outside of the cage!" Said Sensei. "By the same token, once they're locked up its over! It doesn't matter how they're thrown in there! Will the binding hold long enough? The score is now 1-1!"
Tail had been thrown into prison. Pony had flown into the field where IcyHot, Steel and Mudman lay and lifted them all up from the ground with her horns. Glasses was pinned under the smokestack and this left only Dupli Arms and Pony Girl. She seized IcyHot and flew high up in the air while her horns carried Mud Man and Glasses with her.
"Sorry, Tentacole! I can't bear the thought of leading my team to defeat!"
"TWENTY MINUTES HAVE ELAPSED! MATCH 3 IS OVER! THE SCORE STANDS AT 1 TO 1! ITS' A DRAW!"
Crap, a freaking draw? How lame!
"They were just stalling, no fair!" Cried Kaminari.
"In real life, fleeing and waiting for rescue services is a perfectly reasonable strategy," Beast Boy reprimanded them.
"Iida…" Uraraka murmured. "You must feel so frustrated!"
"But he was awesome out there," murmured Deku, looking up at Glasses.
"IN LIGHT OF THE MULTIPLE KNOCKOUTS, EVALUATION WILL COME LATER, JUST LIKE WITH MATCH 2! MATCH 4 FIGHTERS, PREPARE YOURSELVES."
"Yikes, you're seriously suggesting that?" Ears asked as we got ready.
"That sorta strategy? No way, man?"
"Did I stutter?"
I grinned. It was finally my turn.
Keep your eyes on me, Deku you dweeb.
