Chapter 29: Izumi Miyamura: Xover - Chapter 29
The first match, Team 1 vs Team 7, Sona Sitri and Ravel Phenex against Azula and Asuna Yuuki.
An interesting combination, Sona and Ravel, moreover, seemed to know each other, and, in fact, it seemed that they despised each other, not to the point of hatred, but they were certainly not on good terms, it had been noticed as soon as their names came out of the lottery, even so, both were A-Rank, while Azula and Asuna were B-Rank.
Azula played with both of them as if they were nothing.
Sona and Ravel were the villains, while Azula and Asuna were the heroes, during the 5 minutes of preparation, Sona and Ravel barely agreed on where to keep the fake bomb, Sona seemed to be trying to be cordial and actually complete the task at hand, but Ravel definitely wasn't, so after the preparation they each went their separate ways.
Once they were able to enter, Azula and Asuna quickly entered, both were fast, Azula immediately engaged in a two vs one, first she encountered Ravel and filled the hallway with fire, only for Ravel to barely flinch, apparently she was resistant to fire or regenerated fast enough that it didn't bother her, she responded with her own flames.
Azula immediately dodged before running off to where Sona had met up with Asuna, followed by Ravel. Azula tackled Sona, leaving Asuna free to continue moving forward to find the weapon.
The fight was... absurd to watch, Azula was good, too good even when she knew she wasn't at her peak, she was flexible, fast and smart, her reflexes were fast and she knew how to take advantage of it.
She had realized that the two of them didn't get along, so instead of confronting her, she encouraged them to use their quirks against each other while she dodged gracefully or used her fire or aura to cover herself and minimize the damage.
The only times she attacked was to prevent either of them from leaving the room to chase after Asuna, she was perfectly fine holding the stalemate and in fact, she was winning if the aura gauges were anything to go by, both Sona and Ravel didn't care about hitting the other so they barely held back even when they saw their teammate getting hit, so their auras were being consumed faster than Azula's despite her even having less aura in total.
It was amazing to watch, and she did it all with a serene smile as if she were on a walk in the park.
That's not to say Sona and Ravel were stupid, they both immediately realized what Azula was doing, but Azula was just as terrifying as she attacked, damn monster too, she had added the first six forms of Hinokami Kagura to her repertoire of moves, it wasn't perfect, but it was good, very good and definitely not forced, much better than she expected , her flames were pronounced, large and hot if the burnt and almost melted concrete was any indication.
So even though her fire was definitely weaker than Ravel's or was suppressed by Sona's water, neither of them could truly ignore her to get out and since neither of them were working together neither was able to take advantage of any advantage generated by the other.
The stalemate came to a change when Azula got close enough to an unsuspecting Ravel and slammed her knuckles into pressure points, leaving Ravel immobilized on the ground. My eyebrows raised in shock, who would have thought, she had copied Ty Lee's movements. Now I want to know if Ty Lee taught them to her or if she somehow copied them or learned them on her own, which wouldn't surprise me.
Azula was about to do the same with Sona, she had already blocked the pressure points on one of her arms when All Might declared them winners when Asuna finally reached the weapon.
"WELL DONE GIRLS! NOW, WHO KNOWS WHO WAS THE MVP OF THIS EXERCISE AND WHY?! " All Might asked very excitedly.
"Yes All Might-sensei, it was Azula" Yaoyorozu said as she raised her hand, All Might motioned for her to continue "Not only was Azula the best at adapting to the situation, both Sona and Ravel were driven by some personal grudge that made them act arbitrarily, they couldn't coordinate to defeat Azula in a two vs one while they were hitting each other."
"Not only did Azula take care of attracting both of their attention, but she kept them both cornered in a stalemate so that Yuuki could get to the weapon without problems, even at a disadvantage, Azula was able to incapacitate Phenex and was about to do the same to Sitri if Yuuki hadn't gotten to the weapon first."
"Azula remained calm and in control at all times despite being at a 'disadvantage' against two people who outranked her. Unfortunately, despite Yuuki doing an excellent job following the plan to get the weapon, Azula's work was invaluable. If Azula had failed even a little to contain them both, it would have been a very different fight."
"…"
"W-WELL…GOOD ANSWER! HEHE…. " All Might gave a thumbs up in the direction of Yaoyorozu, who had basically said everything, and he snorted in amusement.
The second fight, Yaoyorozu and Ashido, the villains vs Yunyun and Jiro, the heroes, took place in another building and ended with the villain team winning the fight, Yaoyorozu had filled the bomb room with traps, something that Yunyun and Jiro could not get through despite having defeated Ashido.
The third fight, Uraraka and Midoriya, heroes, vs Bakugo and Asui, villains, now, that fight was more interesting, to my surprise, Bakugo almost immediately went to confront Midoriya and didn't seem to be holding back in the slightest, still, Midoriya put up a better fight than the canon.
He seemed more accustomed to fighting, especially against Bakugo, it seems that being a couple was not the only thing that changed, the surprise, even for Bakugo, was when he really began to clumsily use Full Cowl, he had absolutely no control over the output of his power and ended up crashing into several walls or ceilings before getting used to it and began a second fight very different from the previous one.
The fight ended the same as canon, with Izuku using a Detroit Smash, not at full power, but enough to destroy the entire roof and temporarily incapacitating Tsuyu who was defending the bomb so that Uraraka could touch it.
Unbelievably, Bakugo didn't seem angry, nor did she glare at Midoriya, in fact, she seemed genuinely surprised and slightly ecstatic for him, it really was different here, good to know.
After a round of explanation about how each one did it, it was finally time for the next fight.
" OK, TEAM 5! HAGAKURE AND MIYAMURA, VILLAINS! POLENDINA AND JINX, HEROES!! VILLAINS, YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES TO GET READY! "
"Yeah! Let's go villains! " Hagakure said happily next to me, I nodded in her direction and we both headed for the exit to get to the corresponding building.
"Hey Miyamura!" I looked over my shoulder at Jinx who had yelled at me "Don't hold back! I want to see if that selfless state thing is real! " I paused momentarily before nodding, well, it couldn't hurt to do so right? I smiled lightly as I continued walking.
"How do you want to do that?" Hagakure asked once we reached where the bomb was.
"I'll take care of both," I told her without hesitation. She didn't seem convinced, but she nodded.
Once All Might gave the signal, I let the selfless state consume me completely and moved, a couple of steps and I was back on the first floor, I headed towards the footsteps, I approached Jinx from the side, I unsheathed Wado Ichimonji and slashed her neck, Jinx didn't see it coming, she barely noticed me too late, my slash hit its intended target, making her gasp.
"W-what the hell, where did you come from?" Jinx asked while massaging her neck looking at me incredulously, even so, with one movement she grabbed her machine gun, Pow-Pow if it was called like the canon, and began to shoot, I did not move, Eleventh Form: Dead Calm , Tidal Waves , I cut through every bullet she threw in my direction as I walked in my direction.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me ." Jinx stared at me in disbelief as all of her bullets were cut effortlessly, she pulled out one of her grenades and threw it in my direction before running off in the opposite direction, I simply raised my sword and Seventh Form: Drop Ripple Thrust , I stabbed Wado Ichimonji and passed the grenade through, stopping it in mid-air. I could hear the mechanisms of the grenade still active, so with a whip of my sword I threw it through one of the windows, just in time before it exploded. "Really?! C'mon !!" Jinx's incredulous scream as she looked over her shoulder as she ran made me smile.
I lunged once more in her direction, and made a horizontal slash as I caught up, she made no effort to dodge me, though at the last second her eyes widened and she tried to move violently to avoid it, but my sword struck her arm horizontally, the force pushing her against a wall making her gasp.
I didn't stop, I slashed downwards again while I was on the ground, Jinx opened her eyes and turned to the side, she pulled out her gun and shot without hesitation, I moved my head quickly avoiding the shot with ease.
" really ?!" I ignored the cry of surprise and Dance , I made a downward vertical slash, Jinx spun on the ground again while clicking her tongue, I could see her eyes turn pink and leave a trail of light in her wake, apparently she had activated her quirk, she stood up faster than before and tried to hit me, I made no effort to move, Fake Rainbow , Jinx got distracted by my afterimage and I slashed horizontally against her rib, she was panting again.
Still, Jinx didn't fall, she simply began to counterattack, she had no fighting style, she was basically a rabid dog that attacked as she could, she had strength, she had speed, but her reactions were failing her, Jinx was instinctive, it was easily noticeable, she was sensitive to the battle spirit, to the thirst for blood, clearly my lack of malice disconcerted her and she had to react to her visual stimuli, which generated a delay in her movements since she was not used to it.
It was a short fight where Jinx received a complete beating from me, Wado Ichimonji hit several parts of her body hard without mercy, I was exchanging another attack until I suddenly turned around and intercepted a sword attached to a cable.
"Partner Jinx! I'm here to help you ready for combat! " Penny said cheerfully with her flying swords attached to her back, there were 8 of them, Penny seemed about to speak again but I simply moved in front of her, Dance , Penny seemed surprised for a split second before she quickly moved her swords to intercept my attack, Sun Halo Dragon Head Dance , Penny was able to keep up with me, her 8 swords clashing against my consecutive slashes as she rejected every blow I tried to give me with her swords.
I stopped my attack and returned to Fake Rainbow , when Jinx shot me with her pistol, I smiled as I watched her grab her machine gun once again, Penny pulled out 4 more swords from her backpack for a total of 12, I allowed myself to smile more widely, Thirteenth Form , Jinx's machine gun bullets and Penny's swords were easily stopped as I repeated the thirteen forms over and over again and took the opportunity to hit them as I approached them.
Jinx already had a low aura from our previous encounter so I focused on Penny, Jinx looked extremely frustrated and in disbelief as none of her weapons and attacks could take effect, I stopped momentarily slightly away from both of them, Jinx looked out of breath while Penny looked worn out even though her expression showed no sign of strain.
"Alright! Let's get this over with! " Jinx threw her weapons aside and pulled out the rocket launcher from her back, Fishbones , Penny seemed to get the hint, her swords began to spin in front of her, both had their auras dangerously low so it would be one last exchange, I began to cover Wado Ichimonji with haki to receive both hits, when...
I blinked momentarily before smiling widely.
click , click The sound of falling metal caught Jinx and Penny's attention and they looked down at their feet, where a couple of Jinx's grenades had lost their safety catches and were activated, their jaws began to snap rapidly.
" Shit -" the explosion engulfed both of them, interrupting both of their attacks while taking away the remaining aura they had.
"THE VILLAINS WIN!!!!" All Might's announcement makes me laugh as he put Wado Ichimonji away in his sheath.
