While engaging Tiger, Magne was able to dodge his multitude of attacks and block one of his punches with ease.
Magne: "Oh dear, you're so close!" she said while dodging tiger's jabs. "Let me pick up my item!"
Mandalay and Tiger continue fighting Spinner and Magne respectively. Magne manages to continue holding his own against Tiger
Tiger: "Damn it, predicting my Cat Combat moves, huh?"
meanwhile Spinner managed to give Mandalay trouble.
Spinner: "You're not..." he slashed left. "...a real..." he slashed right. "...hero at all!" he said as he raised his sword at slashed it down to which Mandalay barely dodged by jumping back.
Mandalay: "Jeez, you're too persistent!"
Spinner: "So are you!! Hurry up and be purged already!" he said as he was in a close distance and his blade inches away from her face.
Izumi: "SMASH!!"
Just as Spinner was about to attack Mandalay with his bladed weapon, Izumi appeared and lunged with her legs empowered by one for all Full Cowl which destroyed the bladed weapon, much to Spinner's shock.
Spinner: "Huh?!"
Izumi: "Mandalay! Kota's okay! Mr Aizawa said to tell everyone that they can use their quirks to fight... One of their targets is Kacchan". She said as she began to runaway towards the forest leaving them to fight.
Meanwhile
Aizawa was running through the forest with Kota in his arms while being injured. He was having some flashbacks from Dabi's talk.
Dabi: "Hey, hero! Are your students important? I hope you can protect them all till the end."
Flashback ends
Aizawa POV: "The way he said that makes it clear the students are the targets. In that case, it's unavoidable. It's about raising the survival rate! Use your self-defence skills! I'll take responsibility for this, along with whatever punishment is coming later. Don't be defeated while we still don't know what's going on, future heroes!"
Flashback
Izumi: "My brother is also here!"
Flashback ends
Aizawa POV: "Why the hell is he here. Don't tell me he's already planning to strike!"
Kota: "Will mister be alright?"
Aizawa: "Hm?"
Kota: "He saved me from that villain. That villain fought him too. Will he be, okay?" he asked in a sad tone.
Aizawa: "Who is this Mister you're talking about, Kota?"
Kota: "He's that girl's brother..." he said sounding unsure.
Aizawa POV: "Is he talking about the hero hunter? So, he saved the Kid from a villain huh?" He thought to himself as he smiled. "Maybe he's not a complete scum villain."
Aizawa: "Kid, this Mister guy will be fine." he said with a reassured look. Kota nodded as they ran through the forest.
Meanwhile
After some time, when spinner and Magne were distracted, Tiger and Mandalay managed to knock them out.
Mandalay: "I finally got a good hit in!"
Mandalay POV: "It can't be helped... First, I have to tell everyone."
Mandalay Telepath: "We have discovered one of the villains' targets. It is one of the students 'Kacchan'!"
Kirishima: "Bakugo?!"
Iida: "It's Bakugo?!"
Mandalay: " Kacchan" should try to avoid combat and acting independently. Understood 'Kacchan?!"
Meanwhile Bakugo was running through the forest while smirking.
Bakugo: "Stop making so much noise in my head!"
Shoto engages in combat with Moonfish, using his ice to block the villain's teeth enlarging Quirk. Moonfish proved to be highly skilled, being able to break through Shoto's ice and nearly hit Bakugo with one of his teeth, only to be intercepted by Shoto's ice.
Todoroki: "Don't go rushing carelessly into anything." he said as him and Bakugo stayed in cover behind the giant ice.
Moonfish: "I have to follow... I have to do my job..."
Todoroki: "Did you hear that earlier? She said you're being targeted!"
Bakugo: "Don't tell me what to do half-half bastard. Saying "Fight" then "Don't fight"! I don't give a damn what anyone says!"
He yelled as he left the cover to attack moonfish with an explosion. Only for moonfish to send more spikes from his teeth which Shoto sent more ice to Bakugo's direction to cover him.
Todoroki: "He's good at using the terrain with his Quirk."
Bakugo: "Even though he just looks like some scrawny small fry! You bastard!"
Todoroki: "Looks like he's got a lot of experience."
Suddenly Moonfish suspends himself in the air by balancing on his enlarged teeth.
Moonfish: "Show me... your flesh!!!"
Todoroki: "If you use any large flames around here and the fire spreads, we'll be surrounded by flames, and everyone will die. Do you get it?"
Bakugo: "Shut up! I know!"
Todoroki POV: "Even if we try to retreat, there's gas... They're obviously trying
to drive us into a corner..."
Moonfish: "SHOW ME YOUR FLESH." he yelled as he charged at them.
BANG
Moonfish was hit by a bat in the face as he got send crashing into the trees. Todoroki and Bakugo looked at the person who did that.
Todoroki: "Is that..."
Bakugo: "Metal Bat!!"
Metal Bat landed between Todoroki and Bakugo, his bat casually resting on his shoulder.
Metal Bat: "You two alright?" he asked, glancing back at them.
Metal Bat landed between Todoroki and Bakugo, his bat casually resting on his shoulder.
Metal Bat: "You two alright?" he asked, glancing back at them with a smirk.
Bakugo: "Tch. Who the hell asked for your help?" Bakugo snapped.
Metal bat: "I saved your life Jackass!" He yelled comically.
Bakugo: "Who the fuck do you think you are bastard!!" He yelled back comically.
Todoroki: "Guys, this isn't the time for arguing."
Bakugo: "Stay out of this, half-and-half! I'm gonna show this guy who's the real badass here!"
Metal Bat: "Bring it on, Pomeranian! I'll crack your head wide open!" he yelled comically.
Before their argument could escalate further, Moonfish, battered but not beaten, began to rise from the chunks of ice, his elongated teeth forming into spikes again.
Moonfish: "More... flesh... I will devour you all!" he hissed, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent.
Metal Bat: "Shut your mouth, You're not even wolf level"
Moonfish lunged, his razor-sharp teeth extending towards Metal Bat, but Metal Bat stood his ground, completely unfazed.
With a sudden burst of speed, Metal Bat swung his bat with immense power, the air whistling from the sheer force of the strike. The bat connected with Moonfish's face in a blinding flash of impact.
Moonfish didn't even have a chance to react. The force of the blow was so tremendous that it sent him flying through the air, crashing into a tree with enough impact to uproot it. He slumped to the ground, completely unconscious and utterly defeated.
Bakugo and Todoroki stared in shock; their previous argument forgotten.
Bakugo: "What the hell... That was..."
Todoroki: "Incredible."
Metal Bat: "See? Told ya I'd show you what real strength looks like," he said, slinging his bat back over his shoulder.
Todoroki: "He's S-class for a reason."
Meanwhile
Izuku was walking around the forest looking for a worthy opponent. After fighting muscular he realised that the league was just a bunch of useless weaklings so there was no point in helping them.
Izuku POV: "Tch... I've wasted my time here. Thought Toshinori would come with these brats too but guess I'm wrong. Huh?" he said to himself as he heard a loud noise coming from his left side.
He began to walk towards the source of the sound until someone delivered a kick to his face. He barely managed to dodge it. He looked up to see a familiar rabbit hero.
Izuku: "Mirko..." he scoffed.
Mirko: "Tchhh... wonder why the hero hunter is here?" she said sarcastically as she took a stance.
Izuku narrowed his eyes at Mirko, a smirk playing on his lips as he crouched into a defensive stance.
Izuku: "None of your concerns, bunny girl. Guess you want a round two, huh?" he said with a cocky grin.
With a sudden burst of speed, Mirko charged at Izuku, her movements swift and precise. Izuku dodged her attacks with ease, his reflexes honed from years of training allowing him to anticipate her every move.
Izuku: "Is that all you've got, Mirko?" he taunted, darting around her with lightning-fast agility.
Mirko gritted her teeth, frustration evident in her expression as she struggled to land a hit on Izuku. Despite her best efforts, he remained one step ahead, his movements fluid and unpredictable.
Mirko: "Damn it, hold still!" she growled, launching a series of rapid kicks in Izuku's direction.
As Izuku taunted Mirko, she gritted her teeth, her frustration mounting with each dodge and counterattack. Determined to gain the upper hand, she unleashed a barrage of kicks, aiming to overwhelm him with sheer force. But Izuku proved to be surprisingly agile, evading her strikes with uncanny speed.
Mirko: "You're faster than you look, hero hunter," she remarked, her voice laced with a mixture of annoyance.
Izuku: "You too, Mirko. But why do you seem stronger than before?" he said, curiosity piqued.
Mirko grinned, a fierce glint in her eyes.
Mirko: "You like it? I've been training with a new regimen designed by Power Loader. He's created some gear that amplifies my Quirk and boosts my physical abilities. You're not the only one who's been honing their skills."
Izuku's smirk faltered for a moment as he realized the reason behind her increased strength and speed.
Izuku: "Impressive... But it won't be enough to beat me."
Mirko's grin widened as she pressed a button on her gauntlet, releasing a surge of energy that visibly enhanced her muscles. With newfound power, she leaped from tree to tree, her movements becoming a blur.
Mirko: "Let's see if you can keep up now!"
With lightning speed, she capitalized on the opportunity, delivering a powerful kick that caught Izuku off guard. The blow landed squarely on his side, sending him staggering backward with a grunt of pain.
Izuku's smirk faltered for a moment as he regained his footing, surprised by Mirko's sudden burst of aggression. Before he could react, Mirko pressed her advantage, launching a relentless assault that forced Izuku onto the defensive.
Mirko: "Had enough yet, hero hunter?" she taunted, her eyes gleaming with determination.
Izuku staggered back from the force of Mirko's powerful kick, his chest throbbing with pain. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he struggled to regain his composure. Mirko's relentless assault left him little time to recover as she leaped from tree to tree with blinding speed, her movements becoming a blur.
Izuku POV: "The hell is happening... how is she becoming so strong all of a sudden?" he thought to himself as he was defending every strike she delivered to him from jumping around the trees.
As Mirko descended from another leap, Izuku anticipated her movements with precision. With a calculated twist of his body, he dodged her incoming kick and seized the opportunity to counterattack.
Izuku POV: "Now's my chance!"
Channelling all his strength and speed into a single decisive strike, he delivered a powerful blow to Mirko's side, sending her crashing to the forest floor with a resounding thud.
Mirko: "Gahhhhh..." she coughed up blood.
She struggled to rise, but Izuku wasted no time in pressing his advantage. With lightning-fast reflexes, he closed the distance between them and launched into a rapid flurry of strikes, his fists and feet moving with blinding speed with each movement following a blue stream from behind.
Mirko POV: "Dammit... I'm... b-blacking... out". She thought to herself tiredly.
Finally, after a fierce exchange of blows, Izuku landed a devastating kick to Mirko's stomach, making her cough blood as she was sent to a tree. Izuku was breathless for a bit and had a few injuries and maybe a broken bone, nothing too serious.
Izuku: "Looks like I've won this round too, bunny girl." he said with a smirk.
???: "Looks like you made a mess out of my disciple, Rumi... Guess I'll deal with you myself." A voice said.
Mirko: "Sen—sei..." she said quietly.
Izuku turned back to see the same S-class hero he saw in his hunting list. Watchdog man.
Izuku POV: "Why is there popular and strong heroes here all of a sudden? He's S-class I'm sure of it. I can deal with him just fine. He's just another animal. Watchdog man, it's your turn to be hunted!" He thought to himself with a cocky grin.
Izuku charges at him while he was sitting on top of a boulder. Watchdog man jumps out the way with ease. He sniffed the area and looked confused.
Watchdog man: "Are you human or are you a monster?"
Izuku: "Fist of flowing water crushed rock!"
Izuku attacks the hero with his technique, but Watchdog Man is able to intercept all of the hero hunter's blows while still holding back.
Izuku: "I didn't say, 'Shake!'." he said angrily.
Izuku is then dealt a huge blow to his face, and the hero then follows up by erratically jumping around, flipping multiple times and landing several blows that Izuku is unable to defend himself from.
meanwhile
AFO: "a monster ya say huh?"
Overhaul: "gyro gyro told me in private that i should do this experiment on him since i have the technology and time. this has to stay between us AFO."
AFO: "i can't imagine the look on all might's face once he sees his son as a monster" he smirked
"I control chaos" he laughed"
