| 12 | Snitching Minds|
"The title sounds mysterious today." Midoriya nodded with a smile.
"Yet I'm sure the readers are probably just happy for an update." Aoyama tutted as his eyes glanced off tracked.
"The... what?" Hawks asked confused. Even Best Jeanest couldn't pass the opportunity to understand what the stylish teen was saying.
A sigh resonated throughout the studio. Many gazes fell onto the culprit to see Mineta wrapped up like a ball near Shoji's dupli-arms. "I'm pretty sure they're missing my presence. I barely got any screentime!!"
"Eh, I don't think so Mineta.." Midoriya Texas Smashed Mineta's fantasy.
Sato and Koda-kun haven't gotten that much screen time.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" Bakugou raged.
"Now, now, the show is starting..." Both Nezu and Kuroguri hummed.
Before starting the chapter, lemme tell you guys the codenames used till now.
"Oh thank you Narrator-san!"
AFO noticed something was different on the screen. "Did the front change? I can read it better now."
"Of course it changed did you think we wanted to hear your raspy a*s voice?" Chiyo, she snapped. Well AFO did deserve it.
All Might's surgery was a pain to deal with. - Recovery Girl.
"She reminds me of those savage grandmas." Mic attempted to whisper.
From Team Villains:
"Yes were first!" Both Komori and Mina fist pumped.
Twelve is Ashido, Larceny is Monoma, Extortion is Shinsou, Peach is Yaoyorozu, Venom is Komori, Ruins is Shiozaki, Armature is Kaibara, Pitcher is Mineta, Mezzo is Jirou, Deku and Kingpin? Everyone already knows who Deku is and Tsuburaba is the only Villain mentioned left so that sums up the Villain Team.
"Eh, so Yaomomo is Peach?"
"It does make sense. Because Momo means Peach." Yaoyorozu smiled.
"Wait it does?!"
"Our names are fine but why am I Twelve?!!" Mina slumped.
"Sorry, Ashido-san." Midoriya looked downwards at his feet.
Bakugou grumbled a few incomprehensible words as he flipped over so he was leaning on his elbow. Yet the ominous feeling never left.
From Team Heroes:
Bulwark is Todoroki, Function is Ojiro, Gonzo is Rin, Black is Awase. Shishida is Glass and Sero is Pod.
Some of the audience burst out of laughter at the last two. "Bruh, why am I Pod?"
"Hey Glass, I think I saw a villain by your direction - that's one cool name, you bastard."
I hope that was helpful.
"It was thank you because I was lost." Kaminari whistled.
"Baka." Jiro facepalmed.
~O~
"I don't think so... We should get it out of here!" Ojiro said and the other two nodded in reply. What they didn't see was the shadow of a person, hanging upside down behind them by a binding cloth.
"Spider-Shinsou!" Eri giggled.
Aiwaza smiled watching Eri use her hands as a mask.
Hitoshi Shinsou smirked before using the binding cloth and wrapping both Bondo and Tsunotori in it and then making their heads collide with each other with force as he swirled them around and released them at an angle that the two ended up crashing into opposite walls of the underpass while grunting in pain. Ojiro turned around and placing the robot on the ground.
"Ya-ouch! That gotta' hurt, hey Shinso-kun careful with the horns nah?" Tsunotori complained, in English with confused the insomniac.
"That looked so cool!" Tsuburaba complimented.
"It looked like something Sero would do," Mina confirmed.
"It does huh." Sero gave his usual grin imagining how that would work out. Unless the person is similar to Todoroki who can use his tape as an advantage he can do the same move, although it might be a bit brutal.
"Let's not forget that it's Aiwaza Sensei's move first okay?" Momo reminded, sipping some tea as well.
"Bondo!! Tsunotori!!" Ojiro exclaimed. And then he was taken aback when his eyes met with Shinsou's. He quickly covered his mouth knowing full well about Shinsou's brainwashing quirk. He couldn't let him take control of his mind right now. As what Todoroki meant to say; they were after Ojiro.
"That's futile, I mean he has my baby." Hastume tapped her back.
"That sounds wrong on many levels." Shinsou sighed.
"So we meet again, huh? Function?" Shinsou said, taking small steady steps towards Ojiro whose hand was clamped to his mouth. He continued. "But this is different than before, don't you think? I've been really wanting to do this since the Sports Festival, you know. A ballet with one of you Heroes." Shinsou said, gradually taking his steps towards Ojiro. Ojiro didn't reply to him. He kept his hand clamped to his mouth. The worst part of all was that he couldn't even call for backup. Who knows when would Shinsou get him in his brainwashing trap.
"Shinsou as a Villain is amazing!"
Shinsou kept silent until realizing something. Wait wasn't the reason I became a Hero was to show my quirk isn't villainous?!
"Not replying, I see. Well then... You choose combat!!" Shinsou exclaimed as he grabbed the binding cloth, which was wrapped around his neck like Aiwaza, and tried to attack Ojiro who dodged it by jumping away using his muscular tail. Shinsou tried a few more times but Ojiro's reflexes were pretty sharp as compared to his, Back on the ground, Tsunotori and Bondo grunted before getting up and preparing their aims for Shinsou. Tsunotori attacked first. Using her Horn-Cannon quirk, she aimed for the purple-haired boy and shot out two of the horns coming right at his face, its angle meeting his eyeball and the other approaching his right hand. He shut his eyes close and then...
The audience unconsciously flinched back, the mental image of Shinsou getting his eyes plunged in his mind.
"Yay, I'm going to see blood now!" Toga cheered. It would have looked wholesome if it wasn't for her words. Eri had a mental check to stay away from Toga at all times.
"Woah, Tsunotori I think you should practice your aim a bit more." Vlad King warned feeling himself getting goosebumps.
Tsunotori who was covering her eyes nodded.
Shinsou unconsciously rubbed his eyelid as he looked at a stapled man. If my eye got gorged out, will I have to get stitching like his? Shinsou thought looking at Dabi.
~O~
"No! Don't switch!" Muscular complained.
"Jeez, you're acting like children," Mirko exclaimed with a subtle sigh.
"Where are you going? He said we have to keep him busy...!" Monoma whispered to Shiozaki who, suddenly, started walking in a new direction.
"It appears that your team is falling apart Deku, ha!" Bakugou grinned.
"Deku might have commanded us to keep Bulwark occupied but... There are some things we are supposed to understand and continue on our own." Shiozaki said as she rushed out of Monoma's sight and into an underpass. For a moment, Monoma stood there with a blank face. And after a few moments, he smirked, nodded, and turned towards the underpass Todoroki was hiding in.
"So code blue it is then," Monoma said as he cracked his knuckles. Not do ever so later, two voices interrupted him.
"HOW MANY CODES DO YOU HAVE?!" Uraraka yelled.
"... we don't know."
"No, seriously. All that in five days?" Tomura questioned skeptically.
--
"It appears that the voices are coming your way. You better pray that it isn't the Hero Team, Monoma." Kamikiri grinned.
"Larceny!" Monoma turned around to see his team's Jirou and Kaibara coming towards him. The two came to a halt when they reach near their blonde lieutenant.
Monoma turned back towards his insect friend with a similar grin. "What was that now? The Hero Team shouldn't be so arrogant, or the Villain Team will swipe the red carpet from under you~"
"Mezzo, Armature, we have a Todoroki and an objective situation to take care of," Monoma stated and the other two nodded in reply.
"Does he have a discount?" Toru asked, a silence soon followed which she laughed off.
~O~
Shiozaki was running through and observing the tunnels of the underpass when she came across who she was looking for. Hitoshi Shinsou. Just as she came, the first thing she spotted was Tsunotori's horns dangerously close to Shinsou. She quickly stepped into the battle and erupted her green vines from her head and made a protective shield covering Shinsou before the horns got any closer.
"She an angel."
"Thank you, I didn't want to see myself wearing an eyepatch." Shinsou bowed.
"It's what any member would do." Shiozaki dismissed the insomniac.
With this move, Shinsou was wrapped in vines but not trapped in them. He tried to say something but his voice was muffled by all the vines around him. The horns, on the other hand, stuck in the thick vine covering, away from Shinsou.
"That's basically a double edged sword huh." Sato commented.
"It appears so, I'm sorry my vines are basically soundproof."
Tsunotori gasped as she saw Shiozaki leaping in the battle and disabling her attack. She huffed and aimed with her head to attack her classmate this time which also proved to be useless as Shiozaki reated another thick covering of green vines but this time around herself.
"The head clash!" Twice yelled.
"Eh?" Many others looked at him confused.
"Why are you looking at me like that - Am I that pretty?" Twice began modeling, with a few glimmers appearing. Aoyama felt his position withering so he began posing as well. Brighter stars appeared from his actions which Twice didn't ignore.
"Wow, so sparkly!"
Best Jeanest gave a subtle wink, star-forming near his eye. The best fashionista doesn't need to try hard for stars.
"... As Jin-san's translator... I believe he was talking about how both girls' quirks come from their heads," Toga spoke.
"Waah!! It's no use! She'll keep blocking my attacks!!" Tsunotori exclaimed as she took a step back. But then Bondo decided to step in.
"You take care of Ojiro! I'll take on em!!!" Bondo exclaimed and Tsunotori nodded. The foreign girl then turned to the other side where Ojiro was and both of them decided to take a route out of there. Meanwhile, Bondo decided to stay and take care of the two Villains hiding in the vines.
"Hey Bondo, you're on screen now!" Tsunotori faced her glued-headed friend... Who was sleeping once again?
"WAKE UP!"
"GAH!!!"
"Alright then..." Bondo inhaled and exhaled deeply before picking up his fighting stance again.
"You sure about this, Bondo?" A familiar little feminine voice asked.
Nezu sipped his green tea, hiding the maniacal grin on his face.
"Sure as hell. Tsunotori." Bondo replied with a grin as he pumped his fist together. And then he couldn't recall when in his life his head was benumbed that bad.
The audience was once again in a state of confusion, and a little chaos. The younger villains, as well as Muscular, were vibing off the aura of chaos though.
"Oi! Did you knock him out?!"
Those who knew of Shinsou's effects in brainwashing flinched back horrified or either laid back grinning.
"Thank you, Persona Cords," Midoriya whispered.
~O~
"This way!!" Tsunotori exclaimed as she and Ojiro rushed into a tunnel that was brighter compared to the many in those connected underpasses. Subsequently, they saw rays of sunlight entering from the end of the tunnel, symbolizing the end of underpasses.
"Wait... WHAT ARE YOU DIMWITS DOING?!" Bakugou roared.
"Wha??"
"Bakugou, just because things aren't going your way doesn't mean you should yell at them!" Iida yelled at the pomeranian.
"SHUT UP FOUR EYES!! THEY LEFT THE CIVILIAN BOT BY ITSELF AND DIDN'T EVEN BROUGHT IT BACK."
Pony looked down realizing that was indeed the case. "Sorry, Bakugou-san. I guess our Mark's just deducted there."
Tetsutetsu attempted to reassure the girl while Ojiro smacked his face.
"Wait!" Ojiro gasped as the duo saw Todoroki stealthily hiding near the end of the underpass.
"Todoroki?! What are you doing here?" Ojiro asked as both he and Tsunotori stopped to a halt when they reached Todoroki who quietly turned to them.
"Can you be any louder?" Kuroiro asked.
"Shh! Didn't you hear what Present Mic just said? Monoma has Mr. Aiwaza's quirk. We have to be careful." Todoroki said as he turned his head to get a peek of the situation outside. He saw Monoma with Jirou and Kaibara, standing in a distance. Looked like they were planning something. Only if Todoroki knew they already had the plans for everything.
"Wait he announced that on air?!" Hawks gasped.
"What was he thinking?!"
--
"Seriously, five days?!" Shishida mumbled.
"They got me, a cunning person. Yaoyorozu, who is academically smart - yes I see you Mrs. #1 in our grade. And Midoriya who has a strategic brain." Monoma boasted.
I'm feeling left out. Hatsume sulked.
"I guess that makes sense."
"Looks like Shiozaki is gone," Todoroki said as he turned to the other two.
"Shiozaki? She was attack is with Shinsou just right now!" Tsunotori exclaimed.
"Hm. Where's Bondo?" Todoroki nodded and asked as they all turned to a shadowy corner in the tunnel.
"Bruh, there's literally no reaction to Shinsou."
"I didn't injure my arm for Shinsou-kun to be treated like this. Non." Ayoma gave the x motion to Todoroki.
"Oh. Apologies."
--
"Oh Bondo? He currently going through a stage of numbness."
"He's holding the two for us. Hopefully, nothing bad will happen." Ojiro said as he looked at his clenched fist.
"Too late for that." Dabi grinned.
"Was that a pun?" Bondo thought aloud.
"It was probably unintentional."
"Don't worry. Bondo's quirk can help him to hold them off pretty good." Tsunotori smiled.
"If that's so..." Todoroki said as he stood up, followed by Tsunotori and Ojiro. "We gotta defeat these three here." He said and then the trio walked out of the tunnel.
"Only if Bondo was there, he has a mutation quirk so Eraserhead's quirk would work." Pony's tone made it sound like he passed away.
"Good-bye bro, you would be missed." Tetsutetsu cried.
"Guys I'm still alive..."
~O~
A few minutes earlier with our Villains; Monoma, Jirou, and Kaibara. They just decided that Jirou here will track the objective's electric and or heat waves' nearly inaudible sound and then she will secure the objective. Meanwhile, Monoma and Kaibara will deal with other nuisances. Other nuisances such as the Team Heroes. And with everything prepared, they saw three Heroes; Todoroki, Tsunotori, and Ojiro coming out of the underpass.
"Here. We. Go." Monoma said with his signature taunting smile and all of the three Villains took their steps
Monoma to the front, straight on towards the Heroes. Jirou disappeared to the left to locate the objective. Kaibara to the right, to assist Monoma deal with the Hero nuisances. While the Heroes rushed forward to engage in the battle.
"Rushing forward without a solid plan is just asking for you to get pummeled." Sir Extoplasam exclaimed his voice rang with experience.
"Yes Sir."
"But what if the Villain has a quirk similar to Midnight-san?" Mineta asked.
"You just need to be more aware of your surroundings," Nemuri answered playing with her sweater.
"Bakugou, Kirishima, do you remember the USJ incident? If you did calm down and check your surroundings, you would have realized that I was planning to capture Kuroguri." Thirteen reminded, causing both boys to nod understandingly.
Kaibara turned on his quirk, making his right arm rotate as fast as possible, and attacked Ojiro who once again used a muscular tail to block the attack. But this time the attack was a little more powerful and painful than what his tail was used to. He didn't know before but now that he realized that...
As the audience looked at the fighting scene and at the boy whose tail kept blocking the makeshift drills. Only one word appeared in their minds.
Wow, so ordinary.
"Your fighting style is so ordinary, and normal." Pony complained.
"Is that so.." Ojiro scratched his temple.
'It hurts more than an electric drill!' Ojiro thought as he guard but didn't stop fighting with what he could.
"..."
"W-why do you know how an electric drill feels?"
"Training." Ojiro sweatdropped.
Todoroki saw that Monoma was no longer using the Erasure quirk. And unfortunately, he lost the track of how long he used it. He didn't know if Monoma still had it. Regardless, he erupted a huge iceberg towards Monoma who stood in the way smiling before clearing his throat and yelling out.
"Yes! He ran out of time!!" Setsuna cheered.
"Kero, we aren't sure if he did." Tsu reminded.
"True, true..." Toru mumbled.
"CRASH!!!!!!!!" Monoma yelled at top of his lungs as a giant and solid onomatopoeia of the word erupted out and crashed into the ice, breaking it and shattering it to pieces which flew everywhere.
"I guess you copied my quirk." Fukidashi shrugged.
Monoma gave his infamous smirk. "I guess I did, so there's no chance they're going to win."
"So Monoma has; Mr. Aiwaza, Iida, and Fukidashi's quirk?" Kendo hummed.
Todoroki was taken aback when he heard Tsunotori saying something about Monoma copying Fukidashi quirk; Comic. This feat went on for a few more times where Todoroki uses ice to attack and Monoma uses solid giant onomatopoeia to easily disable his attack. In a few moments, the entire place was surrounded by shattered ice and wrecked onomatopoeia and some smoke and dust from the broken walls and roads of the area. This fight also made it difficult for the other students to concentrate on their own challenges.
"The Villain's Team is such an interesting group. I wonder how many secrets they are hiding." The elder Shigaraki wondered.
"There shouldn't be too much now," Kuroguri replied.
"The battlefield is utter chaos." Tokoyami sighed.
"Yeah." Midoriya agreed.
As the smoke cleared, Todoroki couldn't see Monoma in front of him but he was standing far away to the left, smiling as he pointed at the tunnel Todoroki was recently hiding in. Todoroki turned around on instinct and was met with vines going to his left and vines going to his right but none to him. And then from the tunnel came Shinsou and Shiozaki.
"Shroomtastic! He made you look~" Komori giggled.
Shroom-a-what?? Tenya thought puzzled.
~O~
Fortune listens to no one. But Tsunotori escaped the vines and spotted Jirou moving towards the supposedly, third objective.
"Not so fast there!!!" She yelled and ran on all her fours towards Jirou who saw her and stuck her earphone jacks in the white devices in her hands. Then she punched the ground with both of her fists, making an earthquake out of the vibration of her heartbeat. This made Tsunotori lose her balance and she yelled out on instinct. Jirou on the other hand rushed towards the objective which was now in her sight.
"Ooo! You remind me of someone who used to do the same thing, but I accidentally cut him to death. Haaahh..." Toga sighed.
"I would have gathered not knowing that." Jirou shivered.
"Oh, that's too bad. Mr. Stainie!~ I wanted to talk to you eariler can we now?"
"I rather not."
Meanie.
~O~
"TODOROKI!!!"
The yell startled Todoroki who turned to the left to look at what was wrong with the foreign girl.
"Tsunotori, where-?!!!" Todoroki was never able to complete his sentence as his mind filled with fog.
"SERIOUSLY ARE YOU FJNKBGKBKIG!!!!!" Bakurage went into overdrive.
Mitsuki noticed her son's turmoil and brought him into a hug which he took to respectfully curse Todoroki in any language possible.
"Apologies, Bakugou." Todoroki who has no understanding of what happened bowed at the teen.
"HAH?!"
"I apologized because you lost a valuable asset to your team," Todoroki said walking back to his seat.
"..."
'Thanks... Shiozaki,' Monoma thought.
Jirou swiped the green card up the blue objective.
"Yes!" The Villain Team cheered. Most of them ran towards Jirou and either gave her high-fived or lifted her into the air.
"Hey Jirou, great job!" Kaminari finger gunned.
"The MVP today got to be Shiozaki and Monoma." Midoriya praised.
Ojiro was stuck in the green vines.
"Monkey Ojiro," Toru mumbled. Kuroiro snorted once he heard this as well as Mirko.
Kaibara eliminated Ojiro by shooting him.
"I lost."
"A tail could only get you so far." Dabi sighed.
'For the big picture.'
"This was so epic!" Sero yelled. Many students nodded along.
"It was a little too noisy," Tamaki announced with Aiwaza giving a mental agreement.
Yamada looked at All Might who sported a huge grin. "Hey, All Might! What's with that huge smile yo!"
"I'm just counting how much money I'll be earning."
"You little-"
Inko faced the two blondes who were having a staredown. "Ah, same! I wonder how much I'll receive?"
"Can you please stop with the showing off?" Mirko grumbled.
"Why should they?" Tomura asked leaning on his wrist. "So far they are just stating facts."
"See you next week~☆" Aoyama spoke, he was happy that he managed to make a star appear with his speeches now.
