"Alright, everyone! It took us a while but we've finally set everything up!" Mina announced.
Most of the kids and class 1A were sitting on the grass, looking up at a big screen that 1A had set up.
On the screen was Sansan, Shiruku, Fu, Kiba, Tsu, Sero, Junken(as Wildmutt), Nara(as Wildvine), and Ochaco, all in trees standing on big branches.
This footage was being gathered by drones, scattered through the forest, courtesy of Momo.
All of this equipment was being operated by Mineta off in the corner, via computers, something he was very familiar with handling.
"Now it's time the Floor is Lava!" Mina said. "Now to explain the rules real quick. Your goal is not to touch the ground, and you have to make everyone else touch the ground as well. Without attacking them directly. If you touch the ground, you're out, if you attack someone else directly, you're out. Alright. Now. Get ready! 3! 2! 1! Go!"
As soon as Mina called it, Kiba burst from her tree, and immediately smashed Ken's tree, before retreating back to her own branch.
Ken, jumped off his now falling tree, onto a new tree, however, the second he landed on it, Shiruku shot a web shot at Ken's claws, sticking him to the tree.
"Rahhhhhh!" Ken roared out in anger before Kiba went and smashed that tree as well, causing it to fall, while Ken was still stuck to it, meaning he couldn't jump away.
Ken's tree hit the ground, bringing Ken with it.
"And Ken is out!" Mina announced, using the drone's loudspeaker.
"Grrrrrrr!" Ken growled at the two girls, looking down on him with cocky smirks.
SMASH!
Ochaco smashed through Kiba's tree, causing it to start to fall before grabbing into another tree, and jumping up onto a branch. "Don't get cocky girls!"
"Woah!" Kiba jumped off her falling tree, heading towards another tree, but before she could reach it-
KABOOM!
Nara threw her methane-filled pods at the nearby trees bases, exploding on impact, and causing them to fall, including the tree Kiba was heading towards.
Now without any trees to land on or anything to touch, Kiba was left stuck in the air, quickly falling to the ground.
TWHIP!
Shiruku shot a web at Kiba before she hit the ground, before yanking her towards herself and grabbing her.
Looks like Kiba and Shiruku are teaming up. Fu thought, before using Kyosei's tendrils to hop away, deeper into the forest.
BOOM!
Nara threw another seed bomb at the tree that Shiruku was perched on, causing her to jump off it, still carrying Kiba as she went deeper into the forest away from Nara.
With that, Tsu, Ochaco, Sansan, and Sero, all decided to retreat away from Nara's relentless onslaught of bombs, heading in separate directions, deeper into the forest.
They're all too fast for me to follow, except for Sansan. Nara thought, before giving chase to the acid girl.
Sansan's amorphous form moved through the trees easily, her body latching onto at least three trees at once, before moving onto the next.
How do I trip her up? Nara wondered as she followed, her vine legs doing similar things to Sansan's tendrils, easily allowing her to move from tree to tree. Even if I blow up one tree or even five she can switch between them on the fly!
There was, of course, one way to take down Sansan. However, it wasn't a method available to her.
"Shooting Star!" Ochaco shouted as she rocketed towards them, touching Sansan as she went past.
"Woah!" Nara barely managed to duck in time, keeping Ochaco from touching her.
Immediately, Sansan fell to the ground, Ochaco having increased her gravity.
"Sansan is out!" Mina announced.
Ochaco landed on a branch and put her fingers together. "Release."
The effects of the increased gravity wore off, and Sansan could move freely again.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Nara immediately started going for Ochaco, throwing as many seed bombs as possible at the tree Ochaco was standing on, and all the trees surrounding her.
Not having much to stand on, Ochaco decided to use her quirk on herself, jumping into the air and floating.
Oh, come on! How am I supposed to knock her down, if I can't attack her? Nara wondered as Ochaco started floating away. She wasn't moving very fast but given how many trees Nara destroyed, it wouldn't be long until Ochaco got out of her range. Think Nara think…wait a minute!
Nara pulled out a bunch of seed bombs from her back, and threw them, over where Ochaco was going to be.
The bombs went over Ochaco's position and exploded. The explosion didn't hit Ochaco, not even close, but a bit of the shockwave that came from the explosion did, sending her hurtling down.
"Oh, cra-ack!" Ochaco grunted as she hit the ground.
"And Ochaco is eliminated!" Mina announced.
Ochaco pouted, releasing the effect of her quirk on herself, before pulling herself to her feet.
After shaking off her disappointment at losing, Ochaco looked at Nara and put on an encouraging smile. "Nice work Nara! That was some great thinking there!"
"Thanks!" Nara smiled back, feeling proud of herself.
But that feeling of pride would soon vanish.
TWHIP! TWHIP!
Multiple web shots hit Nara, sticking her to the tree.
"Shouldn't have let your guard down!" Shiruku called from several trees away.
SMASH!
Kiba then rushed in, and smashed through the lower part of the trees, before getting snatched by Shiruku's web, and brought back to her.
The tree fell, bringing Nara down with it.
"And Nara is eliminated!" Mina announced.
"Darn it!" Nara said, disappointed in herself for having lowered her guard.
"Great work sister!" Kiba complimented her partner. "Truly this allegiance was a spectacular idea!"
"Indeed." Shiruku nodded, putting Kiba down on a branch. "Now, let's go look for-"
"Sero and Tsu are out!" They heard Mina announce.
"Huh!?" Kiba and Shiruku said at the same time, looking at the drone in shock.
"Fu must have taken them out." Kiba quickly assessed. "We must find him quickly. There's no knowing what strategies he'll come up with if we give him time."
"Yeah, he is far too clever for his own good," Shiruku said. "Let's go!"
XXXXXXXXXXX
The two continued their search, jumping around from tree to tree, looking for Fu, but they hadn't seen hide nor hair of him.
Eventually, they stopped on a branch to catch their breath.
"Damn it where is he!?" Kiba lamented.
"He must be hiding, maybe he's waiting to ambush us," Shiruku said.
"Well, you got that right."
Quickly, Shiruku and Kiba looked up. On a higher branch in the tree, they were in, was Fu.
This caused Shiruku and Kiba to pause in both shock and concern. If Fu was giving himself away, then something had to be up.
"What is the meaning of this Fu!?" Kiba asked him, looking intently at him to see if any of Kyosei's tendrils would pop out of him. Waiting for him to attack. "What tricks do you have up your sleeve."
"Oh, it's something I've been practicing for a while," Fu said casually, completely relaxed despite the situation. "I call it, Mobile Shell."
Suddenly, Kiba and Shiruku were grabbed by…Kyosei? But he wasn't attached to Fu, although he was still wrapped around someone, as the arms grabbing them by their necks, while covered in Kyosei's tendrils, were still human arms underneath.
"What!?" Both of them were too shocked to move for a second, and Kyosei took that time to fall backward off the branch, bringing them down with him.
As they were approaching the ground Shiruku shot out a web at a tree in a desperate attempt to stop themselves from falling, by Kyosei extended his body over her, catching the web before it could go anywhere.
With that attempt foiled, they fell to the ground, hitting it in seconds.
"Shiruku and Kiba are out!" Mina announced. "That makes Fu, the winner of the Floor is Lava competition!"
"Huhhhhhhhh!?" Kiba and Shiruku screamed, confused as to what just happened.
"Wait one minute!" Kiba said, swiftly getting up and looking at Fu. "If you're up there! Then who's with Kyosei!?"
To answer this question, Kyosei separated from his current host, revealing that underneath was…Fu's corpse.
It looked exactly like Fu, but just dead, or rather completely dead, unlike Fu who was undead.
"Ahhh!" Shiruku immediately got up, and moved away from the corpse, before covering her nose. "Oh, it smells! Ugh!"
"Since when could you make doppelgangers!?" Kiba asked him angrily, still upset from her surprise loss.
"Since always," Fu answered. "It's just only learned how to properly make them now. You see, normally whenever I regenerate, whatever parts of me that weren't used for my regeneration just lay there. And so I took advantage of that. Take a look at my left hand, or rather what was my left hand."
The two of them looked and saw that the left hand on Fu's former body, had its pinkie missing.
For a few seconds, they just looked at it in confusion, before their eyes widened.
"Don't tell me, you ripped off you're own pinky finger and regrew your body from that!?" Kiba looked up at him in shock. "How!?"
"Well you see, I figured something out. I am completely unaffected by the destruction of my brain. Why is that? You'd think I'd need that to think and stuff." Fu started explaining. "But if you destroy my brain, it's just as harmful to me as taking off a finger. What's more, if you destroy it entirely, I'm still conscious. And if you take me apart, I can choose what part of me I grow back from. So I came to the conclusion, that every part of my body is a brain in some way. Meaning if I choose to, I can grow back my body from a ripped-off finger, even if the rest of me is fine. Because that finger is just as much me, as the rest of my body."
"That's just…wow," Shiruku said, still shocked at this revelation. "So do you like, cut off your finger and the rest of you goes limp."
"Pretty much," Fu said, as Kyosei finished crawling up the tree back towards him, and re-entered his body. "And since that body has a brain and organs, Kyosei can use it just fine, at least for a little while."
"Very clever little guys, but it's time for the game to end, so if you would come back so we can give you your awards!" Mina told them.
XXXXXXXXXXX
Fu, Kiba, and Shiruku were all standing on a podium with everyone watching around them. With of course Fu standing on the highest one, Shiruku on the second-highest, and Kiba on the lowest one.
"In shared second place, we have Shiruku and Kiba!" Mina announced as Shoji came in, holding two medals and a trophy.
Shoji came in and placed the two-second place medals on both Kiba and Shiruku, who didn't look very pleased about it but kept quiet.
"And first place goes to everyone's favorite corpse! Fu!" Mina announced, getting a round of applause.
Shoji awarded Fu the trophy, and he held it high into the air. "I would like to thank Kyosei, for…well the obvious. And I would like to thank Kiba and Shiruku for taking out Ken so early, that way this strategy could actually work. Because that would not have worked on Ken."
"Tch." Ken frowned, wishing he'd lasted longer.
"Alright, everyone. Now it's time to fill up!" Mina said, as the doors to the house opened up.
Sato, Izuku, Momo, Fuku, Kioku, Inko, and Yonda, all came out pushing carts that were covered with all sorts of foods.
"Oh, that smells amazing!" Toru said, in a voice that could only make you imagine how hungry she looks.
"Great, I need to eat a lot after using Mobile Shell," Fu said, eager to get some food in his stomach.
"I too am excited to indulge in a bountiful feast after vigorous exercise!" Kiba licked her lips looking at the steaks on one of the carts.
"Are those candy apples!?" Eri gasped, spotting her favorite treat on a cart.
"Aww man, I can't wait to get that in my mouth," Kaminari said, causing Mineta and Jiro to have to hold in their laughter.
"U-Um. We made all of this for you guys s-so. So I hope you like it." Fuku stuttered.
"We've all been working hard to make sure this would a meal you'd never forget!" Sato announced.
"So please dig in!" Izuku said with a smile.
And so they descended, like a swarm of locusts, onto the food carts.
In the chaos, Fuku managed to slip out with two plates of food and headed toward the bleachers.
And under there, sitting away from everyone else was Mu, where he'd been the whole time.
"I brought the food," Fuku said, handing a plate to Mu, who eagerly accepted it.
"Thank you," Mu said, before digging in.
Fuku watched him eat for a few seconds, and gave a sigh of relief when she saw him enjoying her food.
She then looked back at everyone else, enjoying the food she and the cooking team had worked hard to make.
It had been a stressful task at first, working with all those people. However, Fuku had come to realize that if she focused, and let herself enjoy her work, then she could get over that, and eventually, she did.
And now, she's glad she did chip in. Seeing people appreciate her cooking, did wonders for her self-esteem.
After taking in the sight, she dug in as well, letting herself relax, and enjoy the fruits of her labor.
Alright, that's part 2 done.
Please review and have a nice day.
