Opening 6 "Golden Time" by Fujifabric
Opens up at the city of Silence before we cut to a few U.A. students in hero costumes: Sarada(one knee on tree with a knife), Katsuki(on a building with a grimace), Mitsuki(on a hill with a book in his hand), Shinki(on a branch with his arms crossed), Izuku(in front of a white flag with a closed fist) and Boruto(on a moving train with a reached fist out), before the title appears full-on.
We go into Izuku training with Gran Torino while training to get better control of One-for-All. When he uses a smash that causes wind to blow around, Torino grins at his progress. Next shows Boruto sparing with Sasuke with aid from Sarada, the two working with attack coordinations that Phantom sees through and bests them, causing them to sigh/grin.
Next shows Boruto reaching a hand out to the back-turned Naruto while Izuku does the same to All Might, only for both boys to grab blue crystal fragments before they blow out.
As the song continues, panels of more U.A. interns are shown: Shinki(with iron sand spread around him and arms crossed over chest), Tsubaki(in a wide-spread battle position and a hand on her sheathed sword), Sumire(riding on the jungle cat form of Nue), Pony(on all-fours with her horns ready), Tsuyu(doing a frog hope with her frog tongue out), and Momo(forming a staff from her left hand via creation quirk).
Next shows ours MC's standing back-to-back, turning to the other with a firm smile as they prepare to fight. They're joined by Sarada(who smirks), Mitsuki(who smiles with eyes closed), Katsuki(who scoffs irritably), and the other 6 interns(Shinki, Sumire, Momo, Pony, Tsuyu, and Tsubaki) and Pro heroes(Konohamaru, Jeanist, Miriko, and Mugino) in addition.
The next scene shows them in battle positions and glaring straight-up at the appearance of Victor, who chuckles evilly as 2 arms sprout from his body. Deepa, who grins psychopathically with hands raised, and Zorvus, who smirks deeply with arms crossed.
This is when we see the fight in the setting of Valley city: Konohamaru, Mirko, and Mugino fighting Victor, who easily repels them with his sprouted arms. Zorvus slicing through multiple horns and fibers launched by Pony and Jeanist before repelling a canon ball by Momo and duals Tsubaki with his quirk, finding their interlock entertaining before backing away from her and dodging multiple purple blasts from the jungle cat form of Nue as Sumire rides on the beast. Then switches over to Deepa dodging a fireball from Sarada and multiple shadow snakes from Mitsuki before using his quirk on Shinki, who blocks it with Iron sand as Tsuyu tries to grab the villain via her tongue, only for Deepa to avoid it as Bakugo blasts him from behind, only for the villain to come out unfazed, all while grinning.
Last shows the MC's using their signature attacks to finish things off(Izuku using full cowling to zig-zag and deliver a Detroit smash while Boruto comes from above with a Rasengan in hand). Both do a battle cry as their attacks crash down on the battlefield, sending off dust and shockwaves into that of a whirlwind.
Next shows shots of various individuals: The rest of Class 1-A(with Shoto and Iida in front), Class 1-B, The U.A. teachers/staff, Orochimaru(along with Suigetsu, Karin, and Jugo), the League of Villains(Tomura, the Shin's, Kurogiri, and 4 new recruits), Urashiki(who smirks), Kara the Husk(shadowed appearance), the Kage Heroes(with Naruto leading), and the Top Pros(with All Might in front).
Last panel shows the MC Duo standing tall, along with everyone else who was present during the battle as the breeze blows through them before the song ends.
Chapter 62: Death Match!
While the Heroes and Haze brothers dashing through the forest as a group, "..." Yoruga only gazes and in thought as they move, really hoping that they hurry and get to Asaka in time to warn him about Deepa and Zorvus on is trail.
Pony notices his expression as she runs on all-fours beside him and assures, "We'll reach him for sure, don't worry." She gets his attention, which surprises him a little.
"If your brother were to run right now then the Hashirama cells would be unstable and go out of control, right?" Shinki figures, "At the paste we're going, catching up isn't a problem."
"Right! Now let's go plus ultra and speed up!" Pony exclaims enthusiastically.
Yoruga blushes a bit at her smile, finding it cute, "You bet." He agrees, smiling himself.
"I still can't believe Mr. Omoi or Edgeshot were no match against them." Izuku voices.
"Yeah..." Momo mutters.
"Even their injuries were horrible..." Sumire adds.
"Whoever those guys are that's after the Hashirama cell must be ridiculously strong, huh?" Sarada figures.
"You're stating the obvious." Tsubaki tells her, running beside, "But even if they are, we still have the advantage in numbers and skill."
"I still wouldn't underestimate them." Tsuyu said, frog hopping.
"Agreed. It was four against two and they still killed off Omoi's subordinates." Jeanist states, "So Uchiha's also right in that regard, meaning we can't rush in aimlessly." He then eyes his mentee, "Right, Bakugo?" He asks, knowing how the hothead is when it comes to fighting.
"Huh? Why are you asking me?!" Katsuki exclaims in confusion.
"Because you're the type of fool who'll rush in without any type of game plan." Yuuga taunts in a grin, "I mean, you're looks and personally says it all." He adds.
While dashing and turn his head back to him, Katsuki is furious at hearing this, exclaiming back, "If it wasn't for this stupid alliance, you'd be kissing the ground about now!"
"Say what? You needed help to take me on and your attacks were easy to dodge!" Yuuga argues, "If anything, you'd be the one losing... one on one that is."
Coming to a stop as well as him, "You wanna be bet?" Katsuki growls, cackling mini explosives.
"Bring it, chump change." Yuuga challenges in his own stance.
The others stop mid-way and see the flaring rivalry, and the ones to quickly separate them, are Yoruga and Jeanist.
"Would you two stop it!" Jeanist exclaims, annoyed.
"This isn't the time to be provoking one another!" Yoruga adds, telling this brother specifically, "We need to get to Asaka before the enemies do, right?!"
Hearing this gets Yuuga's attention on the objective back and he replies in knowing that his bro is correct, "Right... I get it." He nods a bit, as he and Katsuki calm down some.
They continue moving again after that pause, "Hopefully we make it in time to warn your big brother." Izuku mentions to Hiruga.
"..." The latter only gazes forward as they move, indeed hoping they reach him in time.
"Don't worry!" Boruto chimes in, getting the latter's attention, "Even if they attack, we can't lose if we all fight together."
"..." Hiruga gazes before smiling a little, "Normally I'd say don't be foolish... but in this case, you're right."
"There he is!" Mugino spots the last Haze brother way up ahead.
"Thank goodness!" Yuuga sighs happily.
"Let's hurry and let him know." Boruto suggests.
"Right, but to make it easier, let us do the explaining." Hiruga advises.
"Okay, that makes sense." Izuku nods.
"Understood, you do that." Konohamaru allows.
At this time, they appear and catch up to the last haze brother's location, "Asaka!" Yoruga calls as the group comes to a stop.
Hearing his name called and turning around to see his three brothers, "Hiruga, Yuuga, and Yoruga?" Asaka's surprised to see them, "Good to see you three are okay." He said, but he's more so surprised to see the Hero/Intern group with them, "What are they doing here? Better yet, why are you three with them?" He asks his brothers, confused.
"We're in an emergency situation right now." Hiruga warns.
"Two frightening enemies who wants the Hashirama cell are closing in." Yuuga adds.
"Also, it seems these guys aren't actually trying to get the cell for themselves." Yoruga nods.
"Hence, we've formed a temporary truce to bring those guys down." Hiruga turns to the others, "Isn't that right?" he asks in confirmation.
"Indeed." Jeanist nods.
Cracking her fists in rabbit gloves, "Okay, now let's get to kicking their-" Mirko was gonna say until.
"!" Jeanist is suddenly alerted and exclaims, "Watch out!" He quickly uses his fiber quirk to pull the Quadruplets by their clothing and over to where they are in overing a barrage of mini-cubes that connect to the group upon missing their marks.
After the four recovered upon getting yanked back, "The hell?!" Mirko exclaims in surprise.
"What was that?!" Mugino questions aloud.
"They're here...!" Konohamaru trails, as the four pros there are in battle stances, "Everyone stay alert!"
"!" The interns and Haze brothers are alerted and look around wile some are in battle stances.
"Oh, dear..." They all gaze up to see Deepa, who has his arms crossed over chest, gazing down at them with a smirk, "Looks like I interrupted you all at just the right time." He taunts, "Then again, you reacted to that in quick fashion I'll say, Mr. number 8 hero." He states directly at Jeanist, who scoffs.
At this moment and without hesitation, both Boruto and Katsuki leap right at him, the former hand-signs using Gale palm with his left and the latter doing a right-palm exploding blast. The attacks strike Deepa at the same time, causing an explosion upon impact as the two leap back down to the ground.
"I said I don't need your help!" Katsuki exclaims to the blonde.
"Shut up, I said I don't care!" Boruto exclaims back at the stubborn hothead.
"You two are an argumentive bunch, aren't you?"
"!" The two stop bickering to gaze up and sees that Deepa comes out unscathed as the smoke cleared, having the stop half of his body covered in what appears to be black-like skin armor.
"Boruto and Kaachan's direct attacks didn't work!" Izuku widens.
"It isn't just that, it didn't make a single scratch on him at all!" Sarada adds, in ready position.
"Mr. Omoi was right..." Sumire trails.
Noticing the black coating on him, "There's something covering his body." Mitsuki notes out.
"Heheheh, my stones and body are the most beautiful in the entire world." Deepa brags, showing off his quirk, "I use the carbon that I absorb into my body and create super-dense molecular bonds, which I then polish up..." He reveal, with his arms covered in carbon, "into this beautiful, durable body and stones."
"A quirk like that?!" Momo widens.
"It almost similar to Kirishima..." Tsuyu compares.
"And Tetsutetsu as well." Shinki adds.
Noticing something off, "Hold on... where's the other one?!" Jeanist thought, noticing Zorvus isn't seen.
"So you're not dead, huh? I'll blast that carbon shit off with this next hit!" Katsuki rushes to attack again.
"Bakugo, don't!" Jeanist calls out to stop him, but is ignored.
"!" Tsubaki quickly gives his her sheathed blade.
As Katsuki rushes in to attack Deepa a second time, Zorvus comes out into the open with his wired blade and goes for the blitz right away.
"Huh?" The hothead spots him.
"What the?!" Izuku widens.
"Where did he come from?!" Boruto too.
"This shall teach you to think before rushing in!" Zorvus was close to blitzing Katsuki with a slash, but at the last moment and with a fast reaction of her own, Tsubaki swoops in and blocks the strike, interlocking her blade with his wired blade.
"Kurogane!" Pony exclaims.
"Oh? You saw that coming, did you? Not bad." Zorvus is impressed with the teen swordsman, looking her in the eye as she grimaces seriously as she holds him back. Comparing the two, Tsubaki has both hands on her blade while Zorvus only has one hand on his, revealing the difference in strength. With a swing, he forced her to jump back and get some distance.
"Strong..." Kurogane admits, in position.
"You came in late on purpose, didn't you?" Deepa notes down to Zorvus.
"Why not? I wanted to see some of their abilities first, and we both know with that quirk of yours, you'd be fine regardless." He replies up to the carbon user, "However..." Zorvus gazes back at the group, "They don't look all that much of a big deal so far, especially the kids here." He smirks.
This statement aggravates Katsuki, Boruto, and even Tsubaki. The fact that the two villains are casually underestimating their abilities as fighters is something they won't let slide.
This is when Jeanist uses his fiber to bring the three back before Konohamaru attacks their foes immediately, "FLAME BOMBS!" He blows from his mouth, directly hitting the two villains as the impact causes a huge explosion in the forest.
"Did that get them?" Mugino wonders, in battle position regardless.
As everyone looks on and when the smoke clears after a few seconds, the two villains are revealed to be unscathed, with Deepa having coated his whole body in carbon, and Zorvus, now using his wired blade in a whip form, swinging it over his head in blowing the flame attack away.
"!" The group is stunned at them standing without a scratch.
"That attack was meaningless, you know." Zorvus smirks, retracting his blade back to normal.
"You're going to have to get more desperate than that." Deepa chuckles, retracting is carbon in body, "At this rate, you'll all be killed off quickly and we'll take the Hashirama cell."
"Like hell you will." Asaka replies, not backing down as he still has the container of the cell in the bag.
"We won't hand it over to villains like you." Mugino declares.
"What is your purpose for the Hashirama cell?" Konohamaru asks.
"Better yet, what will you do once you get it?" Jeanist adds.
"Explaining to you will only waste our time." Deepa refuses to answer.
"Then we'll just beat the answers out of both of you!" Mirko's raring to go.
"You can try." Zorvus challenges.
Before they begin to fight, "Fools... causing all this unnecessary commotion." An old voice gets their attention and they all turn to see Victor several feet away from Deepa and Zorvus, "I'm more so surprised that you chose to follow him up instead of stopping him, Zorvus."
"Who is he?" Momo asks.
"Is he with them?" Shinki also wonders.
"First off, old-man Victor, that stuff at the diner was all on him." Zorvus replies to the old man, "And two, we barely did anything here yet, seeing these guys are just being a difficult bunch."
"I don't care what the excuse is, I still made myself clear." Victor grimaces.
"Besides that, what took you so long, old-timer?" Deepa asks, in a taunt.
"Don't talk down to me, Deepa." He remarks as he stared them down for a few seconds.
"So you guessed it right, Shinki..." Tsuyu mutters.
"He's in league with the other two." Mitsuki nods.
"Great... now a third party joins us." Jeanist scoffs.
Victor turns to the Heroes/Interns/Haze group, "We were the first to discover the Hashirama cell." He advises, "Just return it to us nice and calmly."
"We have no intention of giving it to you." Konohamaru refuses, "Whatever you plan on doing with it won't happen."
"That's too bad." Victor said, "If that's the case..." He suddenly moves at quick speed and appears in front of the four Pro heroes, "
"!" The interns and haze brothers widen in surprise.
"The hell?!" Mirko curses inwardly.
"He's fast!" Konohamaru too.
"We'll end our discussion here." Victor then hand-signs, "We'll move to a different location." He uses his wind quirk to engulf the four in a big tornado.
"Gwaaaahh!" The four pros exclaim as they're flow into it.
"Komogo!" Boruto exclaims.
"Mirko!" Sumire, Pony, and Momo exclaim as well, all stunned.
"I'll handle the troublesome Pro heroes." Victor tells his two colleagues, "Deepa, Zorvus, get rid of the ones from U.A. and the four from the Haze." He orders.
"You're kidding, right?" Deepa narrows a brow.
"So we get the brats and a fodder of four? You could do better." Zorvus too, not all that enthused.
"Enough idle talk!" Victor turns around, annoyed, "For the sake of the plan, we can't waste any more time." He reminds them before setting off after the Pros, leaving the two villains alone with the U.A. interns and Haze Quadruplets.
"Everyone, stay on guard..." Sarada whispers as they're prepared.
"I know..." Boruto nods.
"Agreed.." Asaka nods.
"Yeah..." Izuku trails.
"Ribbit..." Tsuyu croaks, going to all-fours.
"Tch... don't tell me something I know dammit." Katsuki scoffs, but ready.
The others are in position as well: Shinki with is Iron-sand, Tsubaki having both hands on her sword, Pony kneeling with her horns ready, Sumire summoning Nue on her shoulder, Momo with a staff and shield ready, and the Haze brothers in their own stances too.
"Guess it can't be helped." Zorvus sighs, "You're stuck with us and we're stuck with you." He prepares his wired blade, saying this to the group in revealing, "We've watched the Sports Festival and seen all your quirks in action." He reveals to the U.A interns specifically, "Aside from the haze fodder, this places you all at a disadvantage."
"Exactly as he said, so we'll let you choose while we have this juncture together." Deepa smirks at the group, "Do you want to die slowly?" This is when he uses his carbon quirk to make carbon-like bullets arise and fly beside him on each side, before firing them off.
"!" The interns and Haze brothers gasp before moving quickly to dodge all of them, hence, scattering everyone around the battlefield.
The smoke clears as Deepa smirks evilly in finishing, "Or do you want to die right this instant?"
Meanwhile, the four Pros land on the ground after getting out of Victor's tornado, but in another area of the forest away from the interns.
"Damn this guy!" Mirko grimaces in recovery.
"He separated us from the kids." Jeanist said, not liking that.
"Which isn't good because now they're dealing with those monsters back there..." Konohamaru trails.
"Yeah... and this old man isn't ordinary either-" Mugino adds, but isn't finished as Victor blows another gust of wind that pushes them back farther, but they hold their ground.
"The one with the glasses is first." Victor throws his cane up and blitzes behind Mugino, who turns around, but is forced to block two punches from the old man, who turns around afterward as Mugino tries to strike back via battle knife but the cane comes down in time for Victor to catch and block off Mugino's attack, getting them in an interlock.
"Heh, we got you now!" Mugino grins instead before leaping back, which confuses his foe as this was revealed to be a trap and Jeanist then uses his fiber quirk to bind Victor in one spot, making him drop his cane.
"!" The short man is surprised at this.
"Let's see you dodge this!" Jeanist challenges.
Coming from the air are Konohamaru and Mirko as they dive down to attack, "We'll get the details out of him in Musutafu." Komago declares.
"And when he comes to he'll be lying in a hospital bed!" The rabbit hero exclaims in addition.
Before they could strike down, Victor uses his quirk that weaves two hand-signals, "!" They're stunned.
"Heh!" Victor grins as the overclouded sky brings down a large bolt of thunder upon them, causing a huge explosion upon impact.
When the dust clears, the Pros are revealed to be fine, "Are you guys okay?" Mugino asks.
"Somehow." Mirko nods.
"For now." Jeanist too.
"Yeah, but he's-!" Konohanaru trails.
When the smoke clears on Victor's part, they see his quirk, which shows two extra arm-limbs grown out of his back.
"What kind of quirk is that?" Jeanist questions, kinding it rare and unsettling.
"You are but only for Pros." Victor challenges, "Do you really think you're enough to take me on?"
Victor! Chakra-quirk: Wind, Lightning, and Limb regeneration!
He can produce a strong twister with wind and bolts of lightning, while instantly growing arms around his body that can also wield hand-signs and aid him in battle!
"We'll need a plan." Konohamaru suggests to the three, "He's not someone we can easily take down in a head on collision."
"Right, our attacks need to be coordinated on this one." Mugino nods.
"As much as I'm the type of gal who works alone, I'll make an exception here." Mirko goes along with it.
"Alright, let's take him down." Jeanist said as they go for another attack at their confident foe.
Back to the fight between the Interns/Haze brothers against Deepa and Zorvus. Their battle is already underway with several dodging carbon bullets from Deepa while the other half find it hard to get near Zorvus due to his whip-wired blade as he swings it around.
Deepa launches a barrage of bullets that either dodged or outran: Boruto dashes around, Izuku uses full-cowling to dodge, Katsuki propels himself through the air via explosives, Yuuga uses his golem arms as shields, Hiruga uses his slug tentacles to block, Tsuyu frog hops around, Shinki using his sand to block, Mitsuki jumps around in avoiding, and Sarada activates her Sharingan and backflips a lot of them.
After coming to a halt, "This isn't working!" Sarada inwardly notes, "I can't focus my Sharingan while dodging his attacks!"
After blocking some peddles, Hiruga commands his slug tentacles to strike back at the carbon user, only for him to move fast and dodge every tentacle that tries to catch/restrain him, "Tch! Then how about this!" Hiruga uses water to form aqua blades and coats them in chakra before launching several of them at fast speed.
Hiruga! Chakra-quirk: Slug and water!
With his slug quirk, he can create tan-like tendrils to catch and restrain his enemies while using water to make aqua weapons coated in chakra.
"You'll need to be faster than that." Deepa taunts in smirking fashion as he continues firing bullets at the Haze fighter, who tries using his slug tentacles to protect him, but unfortunately, there were too many.
"GUUUGH!" Hiruga grunts out in pain as he's getting bombarded with carbon bullets to his body and falls to the ground, bleeding a lot.
"HIRUGA!" Yuuga exclaims in shock, "Bastard!" He charges at the grinning villain and tries to connect a heavy golem blow, "You think you're tough? Try tanking this!"
Yuuga! Chakra-Quirk: Golem!
He can encased his limbs with golem armor to attack and defend!
Before it lands, "Ha!" Deepa coats and carbonates his right hand and catches the large golem fist with ease.
"What?! He caught it with just one hand?!" Yuuga exclaims inwardly in disbelief, before Deepa staggers him off-balance and connects an ace punch to his gut, "ARGH!" Yuuga spits out in pain and is the second person to go down.
At that moment, Katsuki flies down at Deepa and stops mid-air to attack, "Stun Grenade!"
"!" The carbon villain covers his eyes at the flash of light.
"Without that carbon, you're nothing!" Bakugo proceeds to blast him in the face, with sets an explosion and smoke, however, through it, Deepa's hand emerges and grabs the hothead.
"!" Katsuki grunts as he's grabbed by the throat.
"Says the weakling who attacks without using his head!" Deepa slams him immediately.
"GOUH!" The hothead crashes hard to the ground, but the villain isn't finished and kicks him on the side of the waist, sending him flying to a tree.
"KAACHAN!" Izuku exclaims in shock.
Mitsuki dashes in on their foe and extends his snake arms to wrap around Deepa, restraining him, however, "Are you a fool?" The latter isn't fazed and smirks before firing bullets at him as well.
The snake teen begins enduring a barrage of carbon peddles while not letting go of Deepa, but is soon forced to have his arms retracted back to him as he begins grunting in pain as he's hit everywhere, even bleeding from his mouth, "GAAUH!" He hits the ground violently.
"MITSUKI!" Tsuyu exclaims and widens.
"Worry about your friend? Such confidence!" Deepa taunts.
"Damn you!" Boruto sneers in anger and summons a clone to skyrocket him into the air, dodging more carbon bullets as it takes the clone out. Now in mid-air, "Rasengan!" Boruto forms in his gloved right palm and strikes it down at Deepa's chest, triggering an explosion.
By the time Boruto lands at a distance and the smoke clearing, Deepa is undamaged once again and grins in amusement at the futile effort. This is when Shinki tries to catch him with Iron sand, but Deepa uses his speed to dodge all of the binds headed his way, all while grinning in having fun.
"He's fast!" Shinki thought in frustration, before being forced to retract his sand quickly to block incoming carbon bullets by the villain.
"Damn it! I couldn't make even a scratch!" Boruto exclaims.
"Not only that, he has the mobility the dodge all of our attacks." Izuku adds, still in full cowling.
"I have no blind spots with my rain of bullets and body." Deepa reveals to the Uzumaki, Midoriya, Asui, Uchiha, and Shinki.
Deepa! Chakra-quirk: Carbon!
By rearranging it inside his body, He can change any or all parts of his body to carbon, in turn, becoming immune to all attacks headed his way!
"You'll either die or every bone in your body will shatter. Whichever comes first." He threatens.
"We gotta do something..." Tsuyu mutters, on all-fours.
"Yes, but a strategy is what we need to turn the tables on this guy." Sarada agrees, finding this difficult.
Meanwhile, Zorvus takes on Tsubaki, Asaka, Yoruga, Sumire, Pony, and Momo. The squad attacks with all they've got from various angles, but the villain continues to use his whip wired blade to counter and guard with ease, "Is that all you've got?" He taunts them as he dodges a combination of water bullets and multiple horns from Sumire and Pony. Even canon balls from Momo's creativity quirk doesn't add much as Zorvus continues avoiding and blocking every attack.
"His maneuverability is insane!" Momo grits her teeth they continue.
Tsubaki uses her speed to come up behind the villain to deliver a slash to his face, but that's easily intercepted as he blocks her blade with his barbed wire blade without so much as looking back, and by the time he does, "Predictable." He pivots around after backing her off and proceeds to deliver fast and strong strikes that Tsubaki has strong reacting and blocking too.
"Tch!" She widens in surprise at this, "What the hell is this strength?!"
"Gotcha." Zorvus delivers a kick to her gut after opening her defenses.
"Ugh!" She spits out, topping on the gorund.
"Kurogane!" Momo comes over to her, "Hang on!"
"That it?" Zorvus asks in a comfortable positioned stance.
"On the contrary? There's more where that came from." Yoruga uses his quirk to summon 3 haze monsters from Haze gate.
Yoruga! Chakra-Quirk: Haze gate/summons
With the summon of haze gate, he unleashes monsters to attack his enemies without having to lift a finger himself.
"Get'em boys!" He snaps a finger, commanding them to charge at Zorvus to attack.
One monster goes for a massive right-hook, only for the villain to above and step off his back. Once on the ground, he proceeds to smack the second beast away with the whip of his wired blade and counteracts the third one with an axe-kick, sending him flying, "Growl at this, you mutts." Zorvus smirks and flashes his eyes wide before extending his barbed wire to impale right through all of them.
"GRUH..!" The three haze beats roar in pain before disintegrating off.
"And you're wide open." Zorvus appears up to Yoruga in a blitz, shocking the latter.
"Oh crap!" The latter exclaims, trying to get away, but he ends up getting slashed in the shoulder. "Agghh!" He grunts in pain, staggering as he holds his wound.
"Weak." Zorvus lands a heavy axe-kick to his gut, sending him flying back.
"YORUGA!" Asaka exclaims.
He was close to hitting a tree until he was saved by the flat part of Pony's two horns just in time, "Are you okay?!" The horn-girl asks in worry.
"I think so..." Yoruga replies in a small grunt of his shoulder pain as the horns set him down.
Nue, in jungle cat form, charges around while blasting multiple dark-energy shots via mouth, "Not so fast you alley cat!" Zorvus swings his wired blade at the beast, who dodges a full on swing, but ends up getting struck from the gut when it pivots back.
"GAAR!" Nue roars in pain after that slash and stumbles down.
"No, Nue!" Sumire exclaims, but doesn't have time to be that way as she does the whip blade from their foe.
"Zero time to worry about your pet." Zorvus taunts.
Upon hearing this, she glares, "He's not a pet..." She changes from water to dark-purple energy in her gun-fingered position, "He's a friend!" She exclaims fiercely and launches it off, sending off an explosion from the blast.
But after the smoke clears, Zorvus's spinning whipped blade covered him from that, "Whatever you call him doesn't make a difference to me either way." He shrugs as blade retracts.
The group stand and grimace at him from their positions around him, in battle stances to decide their next move.
Looking around at his foes, Zorvus taunts out, "None of you are giving me so much as a challenge." He sighs, "I swear, this is too easy... your performances at the Sports Festival looked better compared to the awful display of skill you all are showing now." He shakes his head, "I rather fight actual pro heroes who'll at least put up a fight than being stuck here with children and two haze fodders, cause this is just terrible display... but then again, I already know your powers via the tournament and I have, what you call, experience." He brags, with his wired blade in hand and everything.
This endless taunting is starting to strike a nerve in both Tsubaki and Asaka.
"Why you...!" Tsubaki tightens her hand to her blade.
"Who the hell are you calling 'fodder'...?!" Asaka sneers as well.
"He's doing this on purpose, don't let him get in your heads, guys!" Yoruga warns the them.
"He's right, we should focus on how to counter his quirk." Sumire tells Asaka.
"It's clear that he's underestimating us, but I agree." Momo nods, "We can use that arrogance of his against him and come up with a counteract." She tells Tsubaki, but she and Asaka still glare at their foe.
"Honestly, I'm pretty jealous of Deepa and old man victor." Zorvus continues, not all pleased with this, "They fighting the strong ones while I'm fighting the weak." he then begins identity, "Starting with the one in the horns." He gazes at Pony, "You may be able to do some tricks with those horns? But overall, they're easy to counter and dodge, hence, it's not hard to take you out." He adds, to the nerve of the horn-girl, "As for the one with the pet." he gazes to Sumire next, "By the time that thing-on-a-leash gets taken out, you're not that strong and also easy to take out." He gazes to Momo next, "As for the pony-tailed one, you're not too bright when it comes to thinking fast, so no worries there."
Hearing this makes Momo gaze down, recalling her performance against Mitsuki at the sports festival and lost due to not being given enough time to think.
"Last but not least, you, the samurai girl." He points at Tsubaki, "Even though you made it to the second round... your skills with a sword is dull from what I've seen." He shrugs, "A far cry from high-tier swordsmen like myself." He adds, "You haze guys are just fodders, so no comments there."
Now pissed, Tsubaki whispers seriously to Momo while still glaring at Zorvus, "Yaoyaorozu... this guy has completely pissed me off." She sneers, gripping her sword tightly, "I refuse to let him disrespect us like this."
"Kurogane..." Momo utters.
"Think of whatever plan you like, but I'm taking him down now!" Tsubaki rushes at Zorvus immediately.
"Oh, He's dead meat, now...!" Asaka gets mad as well and rushes too.
"Asaka!" Yoruga calls for him to halt but fails.
"Bring it." Zorvus gets into a stance with his wired-blade.
Asaka starts off with a red energy blast from his left palm and fires multiple
Asaka! Chakra-quirk: Red lily!
He can produce red blasts of explosions that destroys his enemies upon contact!
Zorvus back-flips all of them before Tsubaki comes from his side and tries to strike at his head, but the villain blocks it with his wired blade and they clash blade to blade, with Tsubaki attacking more aggressive, still angered at the remarks she received.
"Such aggression." Zorvus blocks another, "And ferocious swordplay." He adds in taunt, "It's making you predictable."
"Yet, I have you on the ropes!" Tsubaki continues somewhat pressuring him back.
"Hardly." Zorvus uses high physical strength to sweep his blade into her's.
"Guh!" Tsubaki grunts as she swatted back and topples on the ground.
Not wasting time, Asaka comes from above with an energy red blast that launches like a ball, while Zorvus spins his wires blade and blocks the attack, "That's not all!" Asaka lands and punches his right fist in the ground.
"!" Before long, Zorvus barely jumps back as the haze fighter's blast shoots from the ground, multiple times that causes Zorvus to jump back even more and keeping him on his toes. Seeing him in mid-air, Tsubaki quickly shoots out a snowfall air slash that Zorvus blocks off at the last second.
By the time the villain lands, "Now this is getting a little interesting." He smirks and uses his wired blade to extend and retaliate, causing both Tsubaki and Asaka to dash around and dodge quickly. Asaka would take out his katana to block, while Kurogane uses her blade to swat it back with all her might.
"His defense and offense are off the charts!" Asaka inwardly exclaimed as they defend.
"What type of quirk is this?!" Tsubaki scoffs inwardly.
"Neither of you can get through my barbed-wire quirk." Zorvus reveals, "It has more than just defense." He grins, "It has attack power that's capable of slicing through steel."
Zorvus! Quirk: Barbed-wire!
He uses it to form a blade for both defense and offense! Along with high speed and physical strength, it makes him a difficult adversary!
"Slicing through steel he said?!" Yoruga widens.
"And he has attack power capable of that?!" Sumire widens.
"..." Momo shakes a little, wonder what she should do, "We're not making any progress against this guy...!" She tells herself, sweating with no confidence, "Come on Momo, think!"
"Other than the fact it can extend, there's nothing special about that quirk if it hasn't landed a single blow on us yet." Asaka said.
"All it takes is to blitz you up close while your extended blade is far from reach to protect you." Tsubaki claims, "One strike and you're not so tough."
"Heh!" Zorvus chuckles and challenges, "Try and put that theory of yours to the test then."
"Wha... he's not worry about his secret being revealed?!" Yoruga narrows a brow.
"Something isn't right..." Pony trails inwardly.
"With pleasure." Tsubaki dashes fast at the villain.
"If you think the tough guy act is going to work, think again!" Asaka dashes as well from the opposite side.
Noticing the pose that Zorvus is about to do, Sumire exclaims, "It's a trap, get away Kurogane!"
"SNOWFALL SLASH!" Tsubaki attacks and is close to deliver a high strike.
"Red spider horn!" Asaka goes for a right-axe punch coated with red energy.
But before she could, two barbed wares pops out the left sides(front and back) of Zorvus body and impales the samurai girl and the older haze brother through the side of their wastes simultaneously they're in mid-air.
"GAHA...!" Tsubaki spits out blood.
"GUH...!" So does Asaka as they're both dangling in the air, "H-How...?!"
"As I've said, you were welcome to test that theory." Zorvus grins menacingly at them.
"!" This shocks the others in horror at seeing the two hovering in mid-air, impaled through the side of their guts.
"ASAKA!"
"KUROGANE!"
"None of you had a chance of winning this from the start." Zorvus reveals and recedes his wired blades from the injured fighters bodies, making both Tsubaki and Asaka cough up blood and drop to the ground, very badly and painfully.
"Now then." The villain turns to the last four, who are horrified, "Hand over the Hashirama cell."
Meanwhile:
The other group is struggling to fight Deepa as the villain states this, "Hey, did you know?" As more carbon cubes form around him, "When the flesh of an animal tastes the best?"
"H-Huh?" Izuku stammers.
"It's just before it dies!" Deepa sadistically grins, "Fear and despair make meat delicious!"
"What is with this guy?" Sarada mutters.
"I know, he's crazy..." Tsuyu's unsettled about this.
"Grr..." Boruto glares at their foe.
"I wonder how it's gonna be with the rest of you." Deepa wonders, viciously before commencing his attack, "Let the cooking begin!" He waves his arm and launches a barrage of bullets upon the five interns, causing them to scatter(except Shinki, who blocks via iron sand) and dodge the carbon bullets, but the four couldn't do that forever and start to get hit.
"Guh!" Izuku gets struck on the side.
"Agh!" Boruto gets struck on the shoulder.
"It's impossible to dodge this many!" Sarada exclaims and tries reading them with her sharingan but fails and struck in the back, "Gah!"
"Guys no! Ugh!" Tsuyu gets struck in the stomach.
When the smoke clears, the teens are revealed to still be conscious, but taken some damage from those bullets. Shinki lets his sand shield down and sees the state of his peers.
"Those bullets are strong..." Shinki trails inwardly.
"Even with 5% of full cowling, I couldn't dodge all of them!" Izuku too while they all pant from the attacks.
"So you're all still standing? You have grit." Deepa admits, "Around the time your willpower wanes, your flesh will probably turn into the finest meat."
"Damn it!" Boruto gets annoyed, "If only there was a way to get one hit in on this guy."
"One hit?" Tsuyu narrows, standing up.
"But that rasengan you used directly at him earlier didn't put a scratch on him." Sarada recalls.
"Which means one of us will have to take the next shot at him with our strongest attack." Shinki said.
"How about I try landing another smash?" Izuku suggests to them.
"Won't that break your whole arm this time?" Tsuyu asks.
"I've got some control over my quirk now, so it won't be a problem as long as I'm careful." He replies.
"Got it." Sarada understands.
"Right, we'll do a unison attack, Izuku." Boruto said, "Your Smash and my Rasengan. Landing those powerful attacks on him at the same time should seal the deal."
"Okay." The one-for-all user nods, "Let's do it!"
"Is this a strategy meeting?" Deepa states out, "I wish you'd go all out and make this more enjoyable for me..." He adds, "Or else, the finished dish is gonna taste horrible."
"STUN GRENADE!" Katsuki swoops in out of nowhere in front of Deepa and blinds him with a flash-strike before bombing the villain with an explosion before jumping back.
"GOLEM IMPACT!" Yuuga strikes the villain back with his golem-coated fist.
"SNAKE LIGHTNING!" Mitsuki adds his own attack to strike Deepa directly as well.
The others are surprised to see Katsuki, Mitsuki, and Yuuga back into action, despite the three being injured and having blood dripping from their heads as well.
"We'll lend a helping hand too." Hiruga stands with them, in the same condition, "This guy clearly isn't someone we can deal with under normal means." He refers to Deepa.
"Agreed!" Boruto grins.
"Yes, thank you!" Izuku too.
Out of the smoke, Deepa once again, is revealed to be unscathed by their attacks, "You three are still moving around?"
"Of course I am you idiot!" Katsuki insults.
"Losing this fight over the cell isn't an option." Mitsuki states.
"The real fight starts now!" Yuuga declares.
"Fine, then you'll be the first!" Deepa throws his right fist forward and launches a barrage of bullets. Shinki quickly gets in front of the group and raises an iron sand wall to block off the bullets, "Interesting quirk. Not bad, however!" Deepa amps the speed and power of his carbon bullets by launching them from his knuckles this time, like a machine gun.
This goes on for a while as it's a clash between the iron sand wall and carbon bullets until the latter gets the upper-hand and begins breaking down Shinki's defenses as Deepa grins evilly. Knowing this, "The wall isn't going to stay up much longer!" Shinki warns the rest, "We can't just rely on defense."
This is when Deepa strengthens his cubes in size, enlarging them and fires again into the iron shield, this time, breaking through completely. Two of the large projectiles land into Tsuyu and Hiruga, sending them both flying back into a tree, hitting hard.
"ASUI!"
"HIRUGA!"
"Ugh...!" The two struggle to get up as they're on the ground, injured after the impacts and bleed leaking from their heads.
"Two down already? How disappointing." Deepa taunts.
"How dare you...!" Izuku glares at the villain through the sand hole.
"He can enlarge his bullets too? It's always another thing with this guy." Yuuga gets annoyed.
"What's up? I thought your quirk was impenetrable." Katsuki narrows to Shinki, "So much for that statement."
"Speak for yourself! Even your so-called explosions did nothing to him." Shinki remarks.
Before Katsuki could argue back, "Enough! This isn't the time to bicker, you two!" Sarada chimes in.
"Whatever! I don't need the help of you extras, so..." Katsuki propels over the shield and flies straight down at Deepa, "I'll deal with this clown-ass villain myself!"
"Kaachan wait!" Izuku calls out, but is ignored.
"Forget it, that idiot's never a team player." Boruto scoffs.
"It won't be surprising at all if he gets himself killed." Yuuga too, not even caring.
"I'll go in there and aid Bakugo, you guys focus on breaking through the villain's defense." Mitsuki hops off, which they understand.
"Okay, while those two are buying us some time, this is our chance." Sarada states to the others about their strategy meeting on how to defeat their foe.
"HAAA" Katsuki blasts the carbon user multiple times but to no effect and quickly propels through the air and dodges the carbon bullet barrage, which Deepa starts to get a little annoyed at.
"Stand still, will you?" The villain continues firing.
Slowly starting to get struck by some of those bullets, even while in mid-air, "These projectiles are so damn annoying!" Katsuki gets fed up and puts his palms together and delivers a huge explosion to blow away all the carbon bullets.
"Oh my, such power..." Deepa covers from it, but still isn't fazed.
This is when the snake teen attacks, "Multiple Striking Shadow Snakes!" Mitsuki sends multiple snakes Deepa's way, only for the villain to spin around and dodge them.
While that happens Sarada jumps from behind the iron sand wall and begins to use her Sharingan to scan an opening through Deepa's defenses, "I have to see through is attack quickly!" She continues moving her Sharingan as they glow bright, "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"
"GUHA!" Mitsuki gets hit by a barrage of bullets.
"Third one, down." Deepa gazes at Katsuki next, "Now for the second one." He grins, "Time to die."
"That's my line!" Katsuki charges with popping explosion palms.
In return, Deepa also charges to intercept him. They both used a strong attack on the other, Katsuki uses a his right-palm to deliver a strong explosion while Deepa coats his right fist in carbon. Bakugo's attack lands a direct hit right in the villain's face, and just when the hothead thought he got him, Deepa laughs up close after the smoke clears, revealing to have carbonized his face to protect himself from the attack, "!" Katsuki widens in shock.
"You just don't get it, so you?" Deepa grins evilly, "Your explosions had zero effect on me from the get go." He readies his fist, "See ya." He connects his carbonized fist to Katsuki's cheek, sending him flying back into a tree, crashing hard.
"GUHO!" The hothead spits out blood, "I won't let it end... like this..." He trails and utters, but passed out, defeated.
"Fourth one down." Deepa turns to Sarada and launches off carbon bullets.
"!" The young uchiha's eyes glow as they're bleeding and this time, she rushes in and manages to deflect a few bullets with her battle-knife.
"Oh, looks like you have an interesting toy." Deepa notices in amusement.
"My Sharingan is about to wear off!" She notices inwardly as she bleeds from her mouth as well.
"Is that your limit?" Deepa catches on just before her she slows down in her tracks with her eye quirk deactivated, having reached time limit, "You were so close." He carbonizes his left fist, "Fifth one, down!"
"Commence the plan..." Sarada smiles before exclaiming out, "Now everyone!" She's then receives an uppercut to the chin. Sent flying and topples on the ground, being the next one to fall unconscious.
With that, Yuuga is the first to jump above out of the sand wall with his golem fists out, "This time we'll wipe that smirk off your face!" He exclaims as he dives down.
"Heh!" Deepa launches another barrage of carbon bullets, which forces Yuuga to block with his huge golem hands, but those were just distractions as by the time he lands, Deepa blitzes with a carbonized punch.
"GACHK!" Yuuga spits out blood as he felt that greatly and sent flying away into a tree, knocked out as well.
"BLACK IRON FIST!" Shinki attacks from a far. The sand-formed fist makes direct contact at Deepa, but he smiles as the next thing that happens is the attack breaking off into pieces upon contact of his body, via carbonized skin.
"What?!" Shinki widens as his attack did nothing.
"HAA!" Deepa puts his fists together and launches one powerful cube that comes at Shinki high speed.
"!" The iron sand teen tries putting up a sand wall, but that does nothing as the wall shatters and the impact strikes Shinki, causing him to fall to his knees and then the ground, going unconscious.
"Two more to-" Before Deepa could finish, Izuku and Boruto appear on one side of him.
"You're wide open!" Boruto exclaims.
"What?!" Deepa exclaims, looking shocked this time.
"This ends... now!" Deku powers-up his right fist with red lines while Boruto forms his spiraling blue ball.
"DETROIT SMAASSHHH!"
"RASENGAAAN!"
The unison attacks strike Deepa to his gut and back, "GWOOOUUGHH!" The villain yells in pain.
"HAAAAA!" The boys battle cry as they persevere.
Deepa continues yelling in pain... until he grins, "Just kidding!" He reveals and plays them.
"!" The two gasp as they see that he coated his gut and backside in carbon from there attacks, rendering them useless and ineffective.
The carbon villain laughs in high amusement, "You think something like that would take me down?"
"Huh...?" Izuku widens.
"Not possible...!" Boruto too.
"Scared? Hopeless? Your expressions look... quite delicious!" Deepa evilly grins as the two's eyes shake, "This was never a battle from the start." He then carbonizes his leg and fist, "This was just a fun hunting trip." With that said, he axe-punches Boruto in the gut and knees Izuku in the gut as well, sending them flying back, and crashing to the ground.
"U-Ugh..." Hiruga looks up slowly from his position and sees Deepa stand tall, unscathed from any of their attacks. Hence, they lost the fight.
Meanwhile:
Zorvus gazes at the shocked/horrified group in front of him, asking again, "Well? Hand over the Hashirama cell, like right now." He demands.
"..." The group could say nothing as Yoruga inwardly trails, "He defeated two of our strongest fighters in this group... we're doomed..." he sweats.
"Okay, let's try this then." Zorvus uses his barbed-wired quirk from his body to wrap around the injured Tsubaki and Asaka, making them grunt in pain as the spikes from his quirk dig into their skins, "Give me the cell this instant or these two will die." He threatens, further shocking them, "You got 10 seconds."
"He'll kill them?!" Pony shakes inwardly.
"No...!" Momo too.
"Is there anything we can do?!" Sumire as well.
As Zorvus squeezes squeezes them tighter, "7 seconds."
"Don't hand over... anything to this shithead...!" Asaka utters out but gets squeezed harder and the spikes going into him.
"Tch...!" Yoruga tightens his fist in frustration. He doesn't want to hand over the cell, but most importantly, he can't allow is older brother to die over something like this... now he knows what he needs to do.
"3, 2... 1." Before Zorvus could kill Kurogane and Asaka.
"NO, STOP!" Yoruga exclaims.
They all turn to him and Asaka utters, "Yoruga...?"
"You can have it." His brother allows, "Just them down... please."
"No..." Asaka utters at his bro saying this.
"Wise decision." Zorvus sets the older haze brother and the samurai girl down, "Know hand it over."
Yoruga gets the cells that was behind a tree(where Asaka hide it) and raises it forward, "Take it and go..."
Zorvus smirks as he walks over to get... until he was suddenly grabbed from behind by Asaka, surprising everyone, "Huh? What gives?" The villain turns back in confusion.
"Asaka?" Yoruga is confused as well.
"We're not... handing over... the cell...!" The older haze fighter declares, but spits out come blood from the impaled wound earlier, but refuses to let go.
"..." Zorvus grimaces and states this, "I was gonna let you live as soon as I got the cell from your brother over there... but if you want to die that badly, then I'll help you." This is when three wires come from the villain's backside and impale Asaka's body violently.
"GWAGCK...!" Asaka widens and coughs out blood.
"!" This again horrifies the others, especially Yoruga as he screams, "ASAKAAAA!"
Raising him in the air, "All you had to do was hand over the cell in the first place, and this death wouldn't have been gruesome." Zorvus grimaces at him.
"Asaka!" Yoruga almost runs to him until,
"Stay where you are... Yoruga...!" He utters as blood drips, causing his little brother to stop in confusion, "Don't forget... about our mission..." He reminds, making Yoruga gasp in knowing, "You can't... let this guy get the cell... no matter the costs..." With a cough of blood, Asaka slowly moves his hands up and begins to do some hand hand-signals.
"Hmm?" Zorvus raises a brow.
"What's he... doing?" Momo utters.
"That sign..." Yoruga widens and knows what his brother's about to do, "Asaka, you can't!"
"It's okay, Yoruga... this will buy you all some time..." Asaka utters and coughs, finishing the hand signals, "Take the cell back to haze city... to save the orphanage..." he adds slowly, "I entrust the rest of this mission... to you... Hiruga... and Yuuga..." He smiles for the final time before unleashing, "Red Spider Lily!" His body glows at a high level and flashes bright.
"!" Zorvus quickly knows what this is and tries to counter it, but is too late as Asaka's body explodes close to him, engulfing them both in a red blast.
With his eyes tearing up in fright at what his older brother did, "ASAKA, NOOOO!" Yoruga cries out, as the others cover themselves from the explosion.
As the suicide bomb is done and smoke arise, "No... Asaka..." Tears stream down Yoruga's cheeks, "You didn't have to die together... with a guy like that...!" He sobs.
"That was too close!" They gasp in shock to see that Zorvus survived the explosion after the smoke clears, but received tons of damage from that blast and isn't pleased with it, "That fool... if I hadn't moved him away when I did or use my quirk, it would have been worst." He adds, also having used his spinning wired blade to protecting himself.
"This is a nightmare...!" Pony shakes.
"We... can't win...!" Sumire widens.
"Not even that... could take this guy out...!" Momo too.
"It was fun, but I'm taking the cell." Zorvus extends his blade to get the bagged-cell over to him. Taking it out to find it in a sealed container, "We finally have it." He smirks at a job well done before walking off.
Yoruga gazed at Zorvus with an angry look, with tears still streaming down his face, "I'll kill you for this...!" He takes out his small katana and charges in blind rage, "HAAAA!!" However, he gets kicked in the gut, "GUHA!" And send topping on the ground after his blade flies out of his hand.
"You're too weak to back those words up." Zorvus turns his back and continues onward.
Tsubaki regains consciousness, but still in bad shape due to the wound in her bleeding gut-side, "You'll pay... for this...!"
"I'd like to see you try and make me, but we're done here." Zorvus spares her a glance, "If I were you, I'd stay done, unless you guys want to die a gruesome death like that haze fodder did." He walks off and leaves this battered and defeated.
"Damn it!" Tsubaki glares angrily as she punches her fist against the ground as she lays there.
At the same time:
Deepa walks over to finish Boruto first, "Leave him alone...!" Izuku exclaims from afar.
"Don't worry, I'll kill you next after him." Deepa promises that as he appears in front of the downed whispered teen.
Boruto glares up at him, "You won't get away with this... ever!"
"Didn't I tell you already? This is a hunt." Deepa carbonizes his right fist, "And the expedition's almost over." He then punches down to finish off the blonde, but ends up missing and hits the ground, strong enough to make a small crater, "Huh?" When the smoke clears, Deepa turns to see that Mitsuki has saved Boruto in time, but his body looks completely different.
His body is now bright green, along with a horn on his head and snakes around his body. He stares Deepa down as the villain smirks.
"Mitsuki...?" Izuku widens in surprise, so does Boruto.
"You killjoy..." Deepa comments at Mitsuki's form, but notices, "You're not afraid of me?" He asks.
"My parent told me never to use this power." Mitsuki reveals, "He said my body wouldn't be able to take it, because the energy I release is much too great." Spreading his legs in position for an attack, "I don't know what will happen if I use my full strength. But it seems this is my only option." He powers up some more and release a gust of wind that surprises Deepa.
"Sage Art: Great Snake Lightning!" Mitsuki attacks with the energy-coated snakes and lands a direct hit on Deepa, forcing the villain to move back a far distance and setting off an explosion.
Meanwhile:
The Pro heroes continue battling Victor and finds it hard to put him down as his limb quirk enables him to grow extra arms.
Victor grabs Konohamaru by the throat, but is kicked away by Mirko.
"Gaha!" Konohamaru pants out after getting released from that chokehold.
"Are you okay?" Jeanist asks.
"Yeah, thanks." He nods.
"Don't mention it." Mirko slides back, "This guys quirk is annoying and disgusting."
"I know, this is just like fighting a mob." Mugino agrees.
"This is taxing if anything!" Konohamaru adds.
They soon see an explosion, courtesy of Mitsuki's Sage lightning.
"Hey, that's-!" Mugino alerts them.
"It where the kids are!" Jeanist exclaims.
"That damned Deepa and Zorvus!" Victor scoffs in annoyance, "Why is it taking them so long to deal with a bunch of brats?!" He adds, "Retrieving the Hashirama cell should take precedence!" He scoffs again, "I have no choice." He vanishes off, leaving the pros behind.
"Wait!" Konohamaru exclaims, but kneels in exhaustion after taking damage.
"We need to get back there fast!" Jenaist suggests, "I hate to think something might have happened."
"I agree, now let's go!" Mirko runs ahead, with them following her.
Meanwhile:
The smoke clears from Mitsuki's snake lightning strike, and Deepa is revealed to be unscathed yet again, but this time, steam filled his body from the impact. The villain stands up straight, "That attack was different from the rest... but all the same, it didn't work." He grimaces.
"..." Mitsuki is unmoved and is simply ready for him to attack.
"We'll leave it at that, Deepa." His colleague appears beside him.
"Zorvus." He turns to him.
"Got the cell right here." The wired quirk user presents.
"!!" Uzumaki and Midoriya gasp to see the him have it.
"Let's go and meet up with old man Victor before he throws a tantrum." Zorvus suggests.
"Well, I suppose." Deepa shrugs, "The cell is the top priority right now anyway." He turns back to Mitsuki, who's still in Sage mode, "Be thankful that we're in a hurry, otherwise, the hunt would have ended with your deaths."
"..." Mitsuki merely grimaces at them.
With that said, the villains jump off into the trees and leave the area.
Not too long after, Mitsuki drops on one knee and pants a little, now out of Sage mode.
"I can't believe this... we lost..." Izuku loss his head.
"Grrr...!" Boruto slams his fist to the ground, as they all layed in the area, battered and defeated.
Meanwhile:
"So what did you think of the outcome, Shigaraki?" Kurogiri asks.
"The best one that I've seen all day." Tomura grins from under his mask. The fights he saw just now was the heroes losing to the villains and that made him too delighted, especially seeing Midioriya and Uzumaki get messed up badly by Deepa.
"From what we've seen of their quirks, it's certainly ones that aren't normal." Adult Shin states.
"Yes... carbon and barbed-wire? Who knew quirks like that are strong." Teen shin adds.
"Including the old geezer, I'm curious as to who they work for..." Kuroguri wonders, "And why the hashirama cell is so important to them."
"Who knows really..." Tomura shrugs, "But if they work alone, then we could try recruiting them, since they could help in defeating All Might... but only after seeing what their purpose for that cell is." He adds, before signaling kurogiri to teleport them from the area in following the cloaked villains that just won.
Ending 6, "Central" by Ami Sakaguchi
Opens up with a couple flashbacks from the Sports festival: Momo losing to Mitsuki that caused her to lose confidence in herself. Sumire losing her fight to Bakugo, but in a close match. Pony losing to Boruto without landing even a punch, caused her to tear up. Tsubaki losing to Izuku, but smiled a tad bit in admitting defeat.
With the song playing, it switches to the girls in their civilian clothes: Sumire gazing at her phone while crouched down, Momo looking depressed as her gaze is lowered, Pony gazing at the sky as her eyes shine, and Tsubaki standing in the breeze as it blows trough her hair.
Next shows Sarada and Tsuyu (the two who saw their results at the Sports festival as ways to improve) encouraging the four to join them in an art setting, which they do before all 6 U.A. girls indulge in the activity of painting. Having paint cans and paint brushes to draw designs on the walls and having a great time. After their time of entertainment, Momo, Tsubaki, Sumire, and Pony appreciated that fun as a way of keeping themselves positives and using their fights at the sports festival to become better heroes.
As the song is halfway, the six of them are in their hero costumes, jumping high in the air in slow motion and having grins, while Tsubaki smiles slightly. When they reach the ground, they dash forward in a long run before they use their quirks: Sarada punching the air via chakra fist, Tsubaki doing a chakra-coated slash, Pony firing two horns from her head, Momo forming a staff and shield, Tsuyu jumping and latching out her tongue, and Sumire launching off a massive shot of water with Nue on her shoulder.
The last panel shows the girls all standing together on a building, standing firmly and happily as they gaze into the sunset before smiling to each other while the breeze blows through their hairs. As students in-training, they vow to improve themselves in many areas without giving up, as the song closes.
That settles the battle, the interns took an L and lost the Hashirama cell, along with a casualty! Zorvus's quirk has been revealed and it's a certainly dangerous one!
And now that the semester is over and I'm back to uploading normally (sometimes bi-weekly)
Until next time!
