All the battles are now set except for one. But Phobos is on his way to it right now. And can we give an extra special round of applause for Stella and Jackson for taking all the punishment that they did. I mean, Jackson lost so much blood and Stella was actually chopped into pieces. And they still won in the end! Killer is down! And now Stella's on her way to assist Ryan and his team as they're currently fighting Gregory offscreen. But, before we get to them, let's see how one of our separated pairings fairs against the villains in the building. I'm sure by the title you can guess who it'll be. Enjoy!

-POV: Tika-

"Alright, kiddies, show me what you got. I hope you can entertain me for a little while." Molly said as me and Vergil spread out around her. 

"Oh we'll show you, bitch. We'll beat you down into the ground." I said to her as she let out a quick laugh. 

"Yeah, yeah, I've heard it before. Hasn't happened yet and it never will." Molly boasted. 

"Because you never faced us before." Vergil said as he clapped his hands together and suddenly made 5 shadowy crows appear around him. 

"Who's the chick in the bikini and fuzzy coat? She looks like a skimp. Is she dressed for all seasons like that? Who dresses like that? You look like an idiot." All the crows said as Molly just looked at them with confusion in her eyes. 

"Did those.....? They can talk?" Molly questioned as Vergil gave her a nod. 

"Oh that's gonna be real annoyin' darling. Gonna have to shut those things up real fast!" Molly said as she lifted her left arm up and shot this Fluffy substance from it. She hit three of the shadow crows with one shot and stuck them to a wall behind Vergil, but with her back turned to me I had a clear shot at her. 

"Hold that pose for a sec!" I said as I used my quirk and generated electricity out of my cell phone and into my hands. I then thrusted my right hand forward and shot a small bolt of lightning at her. 

"Not gonna work on me!" Molly said as she reached back with her right arm and made a fluffy wall from her hand appear. My lightning struck it but the fluff looked like it absorbed it. 

"What!?" I said in complete shock because my electricity wasn't able to penetrate her fluff. 

"What's the matter, deary? Is your quirk useless against me?" Molly said as her fluff wall opened up. Molly then shoot more fluff right at me and I went to sidestep out of the way but it was much faster than I thought it would be. The fluff stuck to my right foot and it became stuck to the floor, ensuring I couldn't move my leg. 

"Get this crap off of me!" I said, trying my hardest to pull my foot out but it wasn't budging at all.

"Now, for the other-" Molly said but before she could finish her sentence, Vergil's last two shadow crows swooped in and began to peck and tear away at Molly's hair with their talons. 

"Never turn your back..... that leads to defeat...." Vergil said in a monotone voice as Molly made more fluff on her hands and began trying to catch the crows out of the air. But the crows evaded her swings and it gave me time to try and get out of this fluffy stuff. 

"Hope this works..." I said as I turned on my ds in my jacket and tossed it about 20ft away from me. I then used my quirk to try and zap myself into it, and thank god it worked. I turned into electricity as I jolted inside my ds at high speed. Then  zapped out of it and tossed a wireless computer mouse down my Molly's feet. 

"Nice toss, loser. You're supposed to actually hit me with it, even though a mouse wouldn't hurt very much." Molly said as she turned and revealed she'd caught Vergil's last two shadow crows. 

"That's because I wasn't trying to hit you with it...." I said as I zapped myself into it then popped back out right in front of Molly. 

"I just used it to get close to you!" I shouted as I delivered a strong uppercut to her jaw, sending Molly flying back and landing on top of a table that was up against a wall.

"Ow...." Molly groaned as she rolled off the table and onto the floor. Vergil made his shadow crows disappear as he came over to me. 

"Excellent strategy.... It looks like she's suffering...." He said to me as Molly got back up, cracking her neck a bit as her fluff went back into her body.

"You little twerps.... Now i'm seriously going to kill you!!" Molly screamed in a rage as he started marching over to us. 

"Allow me to silence her...." Vergil said as he clapped his hands again. Forming on either side of him were three pitch black shadow tigers that roared at our opponent. 

"It's gonna take a lot more than some over-sized kittens to beat me, chump. And after I kill them, i'll kill the both of you the way so many of my previous victims have gone out. It's gonna be so much fun stuffing the two of you with my fluff!! I can't wait to watch you explode!!" Molly shouted as she shot more fluff from her hands at us. 

"Time to move!" I said as I grabbed Vergil by his right shoulder then zapped both of us into my ds. His shadow tigers could move on their own free will without Vergil's orders so they avoided Molly's fluff and charged her all at once.

"Damn these things are such pests!! Time to put you down!!" Molly roared as she shot more fluff at the shadow tigers. She managed to catch one and stop it from moving but the other two were able to avoid the fluff and approach her. Meanwhile, at the same time, me and Vergil zapped back out of my ds and watched as one of his shadow tigers tried to pounce on her.

"Bad kitty!! Now heel!!" Molly screamed as she shot her fluff point blank at the shadow tiger. She blasted it onto the ceiling and stuck it there, but in the midst of that shadow tiger distracting her, the other was able to sneak up and bite down on her left ankle. It pulled hard and tripped up Molly, making her fall on her face. The tiger then let go of her leg and we watched as it stepped right over her body, roaring in her face. 

"Bring forth even more suffering upon her, my beast!" Vergil said as his tiger went to bite Molly. 

"Don't think so!!" She yelled as she jammed one of her fists down the tigers throat and then began shooting fluff into it. 

"Come on, while she's distracted!!" I said as I generated more electricity through my phone. My hands absorbed the power and electricity flowed in between them in midair as I charged up a much more powerful attack this time. 

"My friend, or my ally.... whichever one you are, I don't really care..... attack now as she will soon overcome my beast..." Vergil told me as I aimed my hands at Molly. She had filled the insides of the shadow tiger so much at this point that the giant cat actually exploded and disappeared into nothing. And as Molly got up, I took my shot. 

"Let's see you withstand this!!! Maximum Voltage: Zeus Cannon!!" I roared as I fired a giant lightning bolt from between my hands. It was so strong that it made me slide backwards along the ground. And unfortunately, because of that I slid right into a chair which made me fall over and it forced me to miss my shot as it was redirected into the ceiling. 

"Man, are you ever lame. A strong attack means nothing if you can't land it. I should put you out of your misery so you shouldn't sulk about such a clumsy failure." Molly said as Vergil helped me back up to my feet.

"Do not dwell on your failure.... it will only lead to another...." Vergil said to me as I gave him a stern nod. But before we could even turn face Molly, we both were suddenly struck by some of her fluff and were pushed back up against a wall. We became stuck to it and Vergil was the only one to have one of his arms free. His right one was sticking out, but I was sure Molly would fix that real soon. 

"There, that's much better. No more running and no more fighting back. You just stay there so I can finish this." Molly said to us as she began to walk over, making fluff appear on her left hand as I tried to generate more electricity from my cell phone. But this fluff was so insulated that it wasn't working at all. My quirk was useless. 

"I can't..... move....." I said, trying to struggle my way out but we were firmly plastered to this damn wall. 

"Who shall go first, I wonder? The techno girl? Or the edgy boy? Eeny meeny miny moe..." Molly said as she began to use that method to decide who to kill first. 

"Do not fret, Tika.... We have yet to lose...." Vergil said to me as I just looked at him with confusion. 

"I don't know if you understand our predicament right now, but we can't move! I can't generate any electricity and you can't clap your hands to summon anymore shadow thingys! How is there anyway for us to fight back now!?" I shouted in his face as he moved around his free arm a bit. 

"Never assume anyone's limitations...." He told me as he slapped his hand against the side of the wall. And as soon as he did that, two larger shadow puppets appeared. They were in the shapes of bears and they roared at Molly who now took a step back. 

"Cheeky bastard, don't know when to quit, do you!?" She shouted as she suddenly began threw off her big fur coat and started forming her fluff all around her until she was encased in a massive 20ft ball of the stuff. 

"Let's see those little critters of yours take me down now!!" Molly shouted as she began to roll at us. One of Vergil's shadow bears charged her as the other stayed and began ripping apart the fluff trapping us. The first beat stood up on its hind legs and swung its front paws forward, colliding with Molly as it greatly slowed her rolling down.

"Come on, hurry! She's still getting closer!"  shouted as the bear first freed Vergil, then started tearing apart the fluff holding me.

"Get.... out.... of my.... way!!!" Molly shouted as the bear pushing against her was bowled over. But at the same time, I was freed and me and Vergil dove out of the way before Molly crashed into and burst through the wall.

"Damn it!!" We heard Molly shout as her giant fluff ball disappeared around her. She reappeared and collapsed to her knees, looking exhausted as she started breathing very heavily.

"I would recommend hitting her now..." Vergil said to me as I now reached to my right hip and grasped my cell phone. I generated a large amount of electricity from it into my right hand, through my arm and body, then into my other arm and hand as I raised it up and pointed it at Molly.

"Let's try this again!! Maximum Voltage: Zeus Cannon!!" I roared as I unleashed another massive thunderbolt from my hand. But using only one hand this time made me less accurate than I hoped and my bolt soared right over Molly, but lucky for us, a smaller stray bolt separated from the main one and struck her. Molly screamed from the pain as she received a massive shock, probably around 50,000 volts. 

"Wonderful work, Tika. It would seem.... our opponent looks as though she is nearly through." Vergil said as Molly's back was smoking.

"Had enough? Or do you want some more?" I said as I generated more electricity into my hands.

"You bitches.... I have had it.... I didn't want to use this dumb thing.... but now.... You've left me with no choice..." Molly said as she stumbled and got up, then turned and faced us. She pulled a syringe of Trigger out of one of the pockets in her shorts and then stuck it in her neck. She then dropped it as she started screaming in pain before quickly coming to a stop and laughing like a maniac. 

"Oh this can't be good...." I said with worry as a large amount of fluff began to form around Molly once more. But it kept growing, taking the shape of something new. Molly was now inside a literal giant of fluff, arms, legs and all. She roared from inside it as she stomped her way over to us.

"How the hell are we supposed to fight that!? My lightning can affect her at all now!? And your big bears can't beat that thing!!" I said as Molly swung back her left arm and then thrusted it forward, smashing her huge fluffy fist into me and Vergil. We stuck to it as she waved us around, bashing us until walls, furniture, and even through windows. Shards of glass were sticking out of my back and I was beginning to lose consciousness. 

"Well, well, it looks like you two are about to kick the bucket. Maybe I'll show you some mercy and finish you right now." Molly said as she began to take us over to a nearby window. She smashed it open and held her arm we were stuck to outside. It was a long way down, easily high enough to kill us if we fell. 

"All I have to do is retract my fluff and it's bye bye annoying students. Either of you want to go first?" Molly asked us as Vergil forcefully pulled one of his arms off of the fluff, tearing off some of its skin in the process. 

"Before long.... I didn't know what a hero was.... myself and my family.... we had memories stolen from us, breaking us all apart! But the word "hero" lingered in my mind! I thought long and hard to determine what it means, and so I came to P.H academy and found my answer!! A hero is someone who risks their very lives to stop those who would bring harm to others, and protect those who cannot defend themselves!! I am a hero!!! And this is my Plus Ultra!!!!" Vergil roared with a commanding voice as he thrusted his right arm forward. This shadowy aura appeared around it and turned into a giant arm that struck the fluff giant's chest, knocking it back hard enough so rip us off its arm. 

"Grab onto my hand!" Vergil shouted as I grasped his left hand tightly as we started to fall. But he used his other shadowy arm to grab onto the edge and pull us up to safety. 

"Thanks..... for the save...." I said, absolutely relieved as Vergil lifted me up over the edge and back into the building. And after Vergil climbed back in as well, we both turned to see Molly getting back up, still in her fluffy giant form. 

"What the hell was that, huh!? You can use that quirk of yours on yourself too!?" Molly questioned as Vergil looked at his shadowy arm. 

"I can. But i'm only capable of using this technique on myself and on nothing else. This is only a fraction of its great power. So allow me to show you, villain, what I am truly capable of at my maximum!!" Vergil shouted as his shadows began to expand and engulf his entire body. He grew in size until he was a similar height to Molly in all her fluff. He'd taken the form of a huge shadow golem, easily almost 40ft tall. He let out a monstrous roar as he smashed his shadowy fists together, shaking the entire room we were in. 

"This is the....!? His 4th tier shadow!?" I questioned as i'd heard Vergil has a shadow creation a step up from his bears. 

"Just because you got bigger, it doesn't mean you're any better! I'm still gonna kick your ass and kill you both!!! Now come here!!" Molly shouted as she began to march over to us. 

"Stand back, Tika. She is all mine." Vergil said as he began to charge her, shaking the floor with every step he took.

"Show me what you can do, don't hold anything back!!!" Molly roared as the two giants threw their punches at each other. The impact created a shockwave so strong that it actually blew furniture away from them all over the place. A couch bumped into me and made me almost fall over out of the broken window, but I grabbed onto a nearby pole sticking out of a broken wall to stop from falling.

"Hey, take it easy, Vergil!! You're gonna kill me!!" I shouted but I was pretty sure he didn't hear me.

"What the!? Why isn't my fluff sticking to you!?" Molly shouted as I took a closer look at the two of them. When they took their fists away, Vergil's didn't stick to hers at all. 

"It is sticking to you. It's just that i'm so strong that I can easily rip myself away, like velcro." Vergil explained as he went for another swing, striking Molly right in her fluffy chest and sending her flying through a wall. She landed on her back as part of the ceiling above crumbled and came crashing down on her, bombarding her with ceiling and light panels.

"Wait, those lights...." I said as I looked up and saw a few above me were hanging down from their wires after some of the attacks from before. 

"That's it!! Vergil!!" I shouted to him as he turned his shadowy head to face me. 

"Somewhere in all that Fluff, Molly's there!! Rip some of it off and expose her to me!! I'll do the rest after that!!" I shouted to him as he gave me a nod. But in that time he was looking away, Molly had gotten back up and had ran back into the room. 

"I'm not going down that easily!!! Not in a million years!!" Molly roared as she tackled Vergil, flattening him on his back on the ground. Molly sat on him on her knees and started bashing Vergil with her fists, over and over again.

"Heroes sacrifice themselves so that justice can prevail, so I will follow in their footsteps!! If I fall, then at least you will face justice!!" Vergil shouted as he stopped guarding himself from the punches, reached up and grabbed the chest and face of Molly's fluff giant. Her began tearing it off little by little, revealing Molly underneath after a bit, her head bleeding from all the punishment she was taking. 

"Just hold on, Vergil!! You're almost through!!" I shouted to him as I backed up all the way to the edge of the broken window.

"Almost there.... Almost there...." Vergil said as Molly was pummeling his head, burying it through the floor as it began to crack underneath them.

"I'll bust you through to the next floor, then the next, and the next until I pound you all the way into the earth!!!" Molly roared as Vergil finally tore off a large chunk of her fluff, revealing Molly's real head and upper body to me. 

"Now!!! This is the end!!" I shouted as I sprinted forward and leaped off the top of a table. I grabbed onto the wires from hanging light and generated its electricity into my body. I then swung off it like a vine and launched myself straight for Molly. 

"Hey, you big fluffy skank!!" I shouted as Molly stopped punching Vergil for a moment to look up at me. 

"Let's see how you like it when you're the one being hit in the face!!!" I shouted as I came up to her and grasped one of my hands hard on her face. 

"MAXIMUM VOLTAGE: POINT BLANK ZEUS CANNON!!!" I roared at the top of my lungs as I discharged all the electricity I was generating in my body onto Molly, blasting her with well over 100,000 volts. 

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Molly screamed as her veins were nearly popping out of her skin and her eyes were literally lighting up from all the electricity. But after what was only a few seconds, everything ended when we were blasted apart from each other from a shockwave from my hand. I had blasted Molly into another wall which completely collapsed on her and buried her while I flew across the room, landed on the floor and slid towards the broken window. 

"Stop, stop, stop!!!" I shouted but I had nothing to grab on to. I slid through some broken glass before I went over the edge and fell out of the building again. 

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" I screamed as my fall suddenly came to a quick stop. Someone had grabbed onto my left hand. I looked up and there was Vergil, looking hella beat up with two black eyes and scratches all over his face. But still, he took the pain and managed to save me. 

"Figured you.... might need..... a hand...." Vergil said as he started pulling me up. 

"You could say that...." I told him as, for the second time, he brought me back into the building. Vergil then collapsed onto his back as I still firmly held his left hand in mine. 

"All you know is the word "hero," eh? Well..... i'd say you're gonna turn into a good one...." I said to him but I got no response back. He was still breathing but after all the punishment he had taken, i'd assumed he'd fallen unconscious. 

"And now...." I said as I let go of him and pulled out some of the glass shards in my back. I let out some painful grunts but I gritted my teeth and took the pain. And when I couldn't do anymore, I got up and made my way over to Molly. She laid under a pile of rubble, no fluff around her at all. Her Trigger must've worn off by now so it all disappeared on her. All I could see was her head and arms as she laid on the floor underneath all the debris. 

"God, you're a real bitch, you know that?" I said as I crouched down and lifted her head up by her hair. Smoke was coming out of her mouth and her eyes were a blank white. She was beyond unconscious. 

"Hope you learned your lesson, asshole. Don't mess with someone who's superior...." I said as I dropped her head and then slid over to the side of a wall near her to rest. My body was in so much pain that I could barely move anymore. And i'd used so much electricity in my last attack that I shorted out all the electronic devices on my person. My phone, my ds, my computer mouse, even my camera and GoPro were all broken. 

"You owe me about $1000 when this is all over too..." I said as I heard loud bangs coming from above us. It was the others fighting. 

"Those guys who went to the stadium better do their job. Otherwise this'll all be pointless...." I said as I felt my head leaning off to the side and my vision blurring. And after just a few moments, I lost consciousness and blacked out. 

Our fight was done. Me and Vergil were successful in defeating our foe. But Molly did a real number on us as well. This fight was more of a draw to me. But even so, we were all done now. Anything that comes next.... 

It's in the hands of all the others.

-Time remaining until nuke goes off: 21 Minutes-

So that marks the end of the chapter, hope you enjoyed it! From this point onward, until it's required, the chapters are gonna be a bit shorter. We'll have only one fight for each one and it'll help us publish more in shorter periods of time, similar to how we did the Sports Festival. And as a little tease for the next chapter, we'll gonna be diving into the start of one of the highlight fights of the arc. But which will it be? Wrath Queen and her team taking on Cry? Or Josh and Amelia taking on Markus? You'll just have to wait and find out! See ya again soon! Oh, and a huge thank you to MohammedMajdoubi for the creation of Vergil! He was an awesome character to introduce and work with!
