Oblivious IJ: Hehe Garbage girl making random s***~
NeoNazo356: That seems like the juvenile sort of thing Bakugou would call her, yes.
Carlmike94: Oh… he's gonna have an army of minions, isn't he?
NeoNazo356: You'll find out in a few minutes.
*MHA*
"Holy crap… I can't believe how well that went," Kaminari sighed as he slumped against a wall, the last of the adrenaline rush he'd felt leaving his system after Red Team's forward party left in defeat.
"So, I take it the plan was successful?" he asked looking at the large puddle of oily water on the ground as he made his way back into camp.
"Yeah! Momo's plan to have us hide with metronomes all over the place worked like a charm!" Ochako cheered, the [Creation] user blushing at the praise. "Where have you been?"
"Oh… around…" Genki replied cryptically. "Yaoyorozu-sempai."
"Hai?"
"I was wondering if you could make one last item for me. It's nothing big, don't worry, but I kinda need it before the next round so I can test something out."
"Ah, well, if it's in my Yaoyorictionary, it shouldn't be any problem," Momo replied as she took the lexicom from the back of her Yaoyoro-Belt and split it open, she and Genki standing shoulder-to-shoulder as they flipped through the pages.
A minute later and Momo created something with her Quirk, item held up in cupped hands which Genki slipped into his utility belt before he himself slipped into the shadows to go who-knew-where.
While this was going on, the rest of Blue Team was in the middle of their discussion. In particular, wondering if they were really pulling their weight this time around.
"Still, I feel like he's doing the heavy lifting," Ochako hummed. "Using his Quirk to make that much oil before going off to do… whatever he did, has gotta be pretty exhausted."
"Hey, Yaoyorozu, what'd you make for him before he left anyway?" Ojiro asked.
"Just an ordinary squirtgun," Momo answered with a shrug.
"Really? Like one of those little hand-held ones?"
"Yes, he was quite specific about that detail, something small with a low fluid reservoir," she clarified.
"So instead of the Super-Soaker I used to stop Kacchan's advance, he has a small hand-held squirtgun…" Izuku hummed aloud. "What could he be plotting? If he really wanted to douse someone in oil, he could've taken the Super-Soaker himself…"
And like this, Izuku went off into his own little world.
"Well one way or another, Red Team will probably find out what he has in store for them the hard way," Sato hummed, arms crossed. "This… is a little underwhelming to be honest."
"Yes, well, it isn't like we can go up against them in a straight-up fight. Todoroki alone could incapacitate most of us in one shot," Ojiro stated, a shudder running along the bottoms of his feet at the memory of his swift and total defeat.
"So… Do we just defend the flag?" Sato asked.
"He didn't specify. I think he wants us to trust our own judgement on the matter," Momo stated as she took her bo staff in hand and stood at attention by the scoreboard. "Time's almost up. Round three will start soon."
"Comrades! Let us make this victory simply stunning!" Aoyama proclaimed proudly.
*MHA*
"Round Three: BEGIN!" All Might announced, the whole of Red Team tensing their muscles in anticipation; some eager for the fight, some worried about what was to come.
"Octopus Guy! Keep an ear to the ground and tell me where those Bluetards are coming from! Soy Sauce Face! I want those nets you're making nice and large! Icy-Hot! If Bug Boy shows his ugly mug, freeze him solid!" Bakugou ordered, the gauntlet thrown down. "The rest of you losers, don't fuck this up for me!"
"So inspiring…" Mina grumbled to herself, feeling less and less motivated with every word that came out of his mouth.
"I feel bad for whatever Hero Agency he interns at next week…" Toru hummed aloud.
"SHH!" Shoji shushed, one finger raised up while he took to a knee, his other five appendages forming ears on the ends. " . . . Something's coming."
"Where from?" Bakugou demanded.
"It's… It's coming from all around us," Shoji said as he stood at full height, eight eyes circling around every direction.
"You think Blue Team's going on the offensive?" Toru asked worriedly, still wincing from that "invisible" bear trap they'd caught her with.
"Unlikely. We have too many heavy-hitters for them to risk a full-frontal assault," Todoroki answered, frost ghosting his right side.
"Octopus Guy! Are they coming or not!?" Bakugou demanded, his patience, or what remained of it, swiftly vanishing.
"I don't know! It's like… thousands of tiny feet, skittering all around us."
"Tiny feet?" Tsuyu asked with a tilt of her head.
"I have a baaaaad feeling about this…" Mina shuddered.
"Look! Over there!" Toru cried, a finger pointed down the street.
"Where?! I can't see your hands!" Bakugou raged at the still-invisible girl, her clothes still in a pile off to the side.
"O-Over thereAUGH!"
The next moment an oily blur rushed through their group faster than the unaided eye could follow, cries of "Urgh!", "Gah!", "Huh?", and "Iyagh!" leaving Tokoyami, Sero, Tsuyu, and Mina's lips after Toru's own outburst as clear fluids spattered them on the cheek, neck, chest, and forehead respectively.
*CRACK*
"Todoroki!" Iida cried as the dual Quirk-user was struck in the chin by the attacking blur, a hand going to his collar and stopping him from busting his head on the asphalt.
"BUG BASTARD!" Bakugou raged.
"Sup?" Genki asked casually as he set the insensate Todoroki down and tied a band of Capture Tape around his wrist before levelling a small squirtgun at Kirishima and spraying him in the face, followed by Shoji and then Iida in rapid succession before they could react.
"Huuuh? A squirt gun? Is that the best you can do?!" Bakugou said mockingly.
"Obviously someone doesn't know the mechanics behind attack pheromones," Genki said with a smirk as he rushed up to Bakugou well beyond the teen's reaction speed, stuck the squirtgun in his mouth, and pulled the trigger, the spiky-headed teen gagging as the clear fluid struck a sensitive area.
"Gah! Blagh! What the hell was *BOOM!* that?!" Bakugou demanded as he took an explosive swing at the oily-haired teen.
"That, Crater Face, was me ringing the dinner bell," Genki said ominously as he dodged his swing.
"Dinner bell?" Iida asked confusedly, his feet shifting as he sought a better grip.
"Everyone! The noise is getting louder!" Shoji called out, his multiple ears twitching like crazy as a tidal wave of chittering noises washed over him.

"AAUUUUUGH! C-C-C-C-C-C-C-COCKROACHEEEEEEES!" Mina cried as hundreds, nay, thousands of cockroaches began to encroach upon them from all sides, the ground absolutely smothered in shiny brown exoskeletons, the pink-skinned girl scampering furiously up a nearby lamp post, Tsuyu following after her in a single bound and hauling her up.
"WHERE DID THEY ALL COME FROM!" Toru cried as she scrambled atop a nearby postbox to escape the horde.
"These simulated cities must be filthier than we thought," Shoji hummed as he backed away.
"The underbelly of modern society is rife with pestilence," Tokoyami said as Dark Shadow hauled him up a wall and away from the street.
"Goodness gracious! They're everywhere!" Iida cried out, spine trembling in unsuppressed revulsion.
"GRAAAAUGH!" Bakugou roared as he kicked up debris, only for the horde to continue towards him unabated.
"Tsu-chan! Do something!" Mina cried, her feet kicking helplessly through the air.
"I'm *munchmunchmunch* eating *munchmunchmunch* as *munchmunchmunch* fast *munchmunchmunch* as *munchmunchmunch* I *munchmunchmunch* can *munchmunchmunch*" Tsuyu said between bouts of chewing, her tongue flicking out onto the lamp post the horde bellow was crawling up and retrieving the unflavored morsels into her mouth. "Hmmm… They're better with soy sauce," she hummed to herself.
"That's not helping!" Mina cried frantically, skin threatening to crawl right off the bone as she flung handfuls of acid downward, only for most of it to slide off their oily hides.
The shrieks they let out when her [Acid] did work wasn't much better.
"It's helping me," Tsuyu hummed as she continued to devour the readily-available protein sources.
Her entomophagy had nothing to do with her family's Quirk, they just happened to be a cost-effective food source.
Although her Quirk did help with the sentiment…
"Why aren't they bothering Todoroki?!" Kirishima cried as he stomped frantically, swatting at his body just-as-frantically as the tidal wave of roaches scurried up his frame while the unconscious half-and-half was completely ignored.
"It's because he didn't get sprayed with Genki's attack pheromones!" Shoji answered.
"DAMMIT!" Bakugou raged as he blasted the ground around him, carpet bombing the street. "GET BACK HERE!" he roared as Genki hoisted the flag from its pedestal.
"Talk to the hand!" Genki called out as he swung out his right palm, spatters of transparent fluid leaping through the air before splattering over Bakugou's costume.
A moment later the cockroaches surrounding him became super-agitated, their wings buzzing madly as they leapt into the air, a cloud of oily bugs whirling like an angry cloud.
"OH MY GOD! THEY CAN FLY?!" Mina cried as the fluttering of cockroach wings met her ears, the explosive teen being overwhelmed a moment later.
"I'm sorry comrades, but cockroaches give me the creeps!" Iida cried as he bolted from the camp at full throttle, casting aside any would-be stowaways clinging to his armor.
"IIDA YOU TRAITOOOOOR!" Kirishima cried as he used [Hardening], threw himself to the ground, and began to roll, the arthropods bursting like crunchy pimples against his hardened skin. "OH GOD! THIS ONLY MADE IT WORSE!"
"Don't worry guys! As soon as I get this back to Blue Base, I'll let my little friends know it's time to go home!" Genki called out over his shoulder, casually strolling away while Red Team was clenched in various fits of terror or just unable to follow.
"YOU BASTAAAAARD!" Bakugou raged, the spiky-haired teen buried up to his neck in skittering, oily bugs.
"Are you going to eat that?" Tsuyu asked with a finger on her chin.
"GRAAAAAAAGH!" Bakugou raged as he sent explosions every which way, each one weakening in intensity.
*MHA*
Elsewhile…
"EYAAAAAAUGH!"
"Some girl's in trouble!" Ochako cried out as a shrill voice pierced the afternoon air.
"What do you think Genki is doing to them?" Kaminari asked as cries of terror continued to echo through the cityscape.
"P-P-Perhaps he called upon his bloodthirsty horde and loosed them upon the enemy?" Aoyama stuttered as he imagined Genki clad like Hitler, countless platoons of cockroaches dressed like stormtroopers all of which were marching and extending the Nazi salute.
"You have a very active imagination," Ojiro said plainly while Koda shuddered at the thought.
"No, actually, he may have the right idea," Izuku hummed as he began scribbling in his pocket notebook, tiny pen in hand. "If we assume his full-body Mutation-Type Quirk includes pheromonal abilities…"
"Who knew cockroaches could be so terrifying," Momo hummed as the shrieks of terror continued to echo. "I shudder to imagine the damage he could cause if he were a villain."
"N-Not that I'm afraid of cockroaches, but I agree with you there," Kaminari nodded in agreement.
"WOW this was easy," Genki hummed as he languidly strode into Blue Base, planting the red flag firmly in place at their pedestal. "Flawless victory!" he whooped enthusiastically, self-confidence at an all-time high as he left an entire team of prospective Heroes quivering in fear in his wake.
"BLUE TEAM WIIIIINS!" All Might announced bombastically. "Now, would you kindly mind calling off your horde? Red Team's getting… well…"
"Curbstomped by roaches?"
"I was going to say 'overwhelmed' but THAT WORKS TOO!" All Might replied just-as-bombastically, trying to put a positive spin on things.
"Alright, fiiine. I'll stop Crater Face from getting eaten."
"E-E-EATEN?!" Izuku gawped, the color draining from his face.
"Oh, don't worry. Bakagou's too greasy to make for a good meal," Genki waved off. "I think."
"You THINK?!"
"But don't you feel bad about sending them to their deaths?" Ochako asked as not only shrieks, but explosions rung through the air. "You know… with how you talk to them and all."
"Cockroaches don't have enough brainpower for 'complex thought' like you and I, so it's less like I'm talking to them and more like I'm 'nudging' them in the direction I want them to go," Genki said plainly, Izuku scrambling furiously in his notepad at the newfound information.
" . . . Would it be wrong if I said I felt vindicated?" Ojiro asked a moment after Genki had left Blue Base.
*MHA*
"Tsu-chan! Are you okay?" Mina cried, having finally managed to climb atop the lamp post.
"Can't eat anymore. Kero…" the froggy girl groaned, draped over the light fixture alongside Mina.
"Get 'em off! Get 'em off! Get 'em O-HO-HO-HOFFF!" Toru cried as cockroaches seemingly floating in midair were flung every which way.
"I am going to need SO MANY SHOWERRRRRRS!" Kirishima cried out, sparks and bits of his costume flying.
"Yeah, no, I'm just going to stay up here where it's safe," Sero said as he hung upside-down like a certain arachnid-themed superhero.
"Take this! RED BLADE OF JUSTICE: METEOR STORM!" Tokoyami cried as he dual-wielded rolled-up newspapers, [Dark Shadow] doing the same as they swat frantically at the ground around them.
"ARRRRRRGH!" Bakugou roared through the writhing mass of cockroaches covering his body.
"Oh how the mighty have fallen," Genki sighed as Red Team continued to lose their collective shit. "HAVE NO FEAR, FOR I AM HERE!" he announced bombastically.
"Hey! That's my line!" All Might cried.
"You can't own words All Might!"
"Can you just save us already! If you act fast I'll forget the time you put your crotch in my face!" Mina called out.
"Alright, alright, I'm getting on it."
The next moment he raised his arms and rotated them at the shoulder, his armpits exposed to the open air as he walked around in a circle.
"What the fuck are you doing?!" Bakugou raged, spitting out cockroaches before he spoke up.
"Sending out the 'Go Home' pheromones, what do you think?" Genki said as he continued to waft himself out.
"As long as it sends these creepy crawlies home, I don't care what it looks like!" Mina cried.
"Hurry up, please!" Tokoyami cried out as he and [Dark Shadow] continued to rain blows on the horde around them.
Black cloaks and sweat-inducing labor against the unending hordes did not mix.
*MHA*
Sorry for the delay. Life happens, but I hope it was worth the wait.
