BRAWL

Miruko's foot lashed out fast as lightning. Izuku ducked low and kicked at her ankle, but Miruko turned her kick into a flying leap, twirled, and slammed her foot into the side of Izuku's head. His skull rang like an iron bell.

Unfazed, Izuku grabbed her shin and flung her to the ground. Miruko brought her other leg down on Izuku's elbow. Izuku's arm bent backwards, and his grip slackened enough for Miruko to slide free.

Rolling into a crouching position, Miruko looked back just in time to get a metal fist to the face. She rolled with it, spinning across the floor until her feet braced against the back wall. She leapt off it like a springboard. Her afterimage flickered across the room, and a light breeze blew in her wake. Her leg punched towards Izuku's chest like a hydraulic press. Metal crunched as the kick left a rabbit foot indent where his heart should be.

Izuku's left hand morphed. Green plasma glowed from inside the launcher. Miruko threw herself aside, and plasma seared the air where she had stood. The plasma slammed into a metal wall and melted a hole six inches deep.

"Hey! I thought we agreed no plasma."

"We agreed on no lightsabers," Izuku said. "Do you want me to stop?"

"Do I look like a wimp to you? Let me have it."

"As you wish."

Izuku's arm whirred. One plasma globe split into fifty smaller spheres. Miruko leapt high over the shotgun blast. Izuku turned his arm up, revealing the other half of his shotgun blast still loaded. Miruko twisted, avoiding the worst of the plasma, but left with searing holes in her costume and landing awkwardly into the bargain.

"That was but a taste of my fury," Izuku said. "Do you yield?"

Miruko chuckled maniacally as she rose to her feet. "I do not. Luna Rush!"

Her feet snapped out like a professional boxer's jabs. Izuku raised his arms against the blows, sliding back under the onslaught. Miruko feinted low, and Izuku lowered his stance, only for the Rabbit Hero to leap to the ceiling again.

"Luna Fall!"

Miruko rocketed down and slammed her foot on Izuku's head. While Izuku himself remained intact, the floor fared far worse. Izuku's feet embedded themselves deep within the metal floor, leaving him rooted to the spot.

With her leg still on Izuku's head, Miruko wrapped both legs around his head. "And now for the finale, Luna Tijeras!"

She twisted her legs. Izuku's head popped off with the shrill scream of steel and the snapping of wires. Miruko raised her trophy high into the air.

"Hah! I finally beat you!"

A metal leg swept Miruko's feet out from under her. Caught off guard, Miruko could only yelp as Izuku's headless body pinned her to the floor.

"I don't need to be connected to my body to pilot it," Izuku's severed head told Miruko.

"That's cheating!"

"Is it?"

"Nah, I'm messing with you. Same time next week?"

498

Miruko, pinned to the floor, with burnt holes in her costume at highly suggestive places: "You dastardly villain. What do you plan to do to me now that you have me completely helpless and pinned beneath you?"

Izuku: ma'am, this story is rated T for 'This is a Wendy's'.
