Mystery from Another World

Part 106: Bakugo Kabedons Camie

[OP: "Crush"--Paramore]

Momo didn't hesitate as the other two Shiketsu students charged in. She threw nets over both of them.

Neither of them had long range quirks.

"Lame." Moto flexed her fingers.

"Typical," Shishikura said. "I'd expect more from our classmates."

"Ah, never mind," Moto said. "We can finish these four off."

Tokoyami rushed to restrain the ones in the net further, so they wouldn't get out.

Ojiro launched himself at Shishikura.

"Hey, Tail Man! Stay the frick away from him!" Bakugo yelled at him, too late.

Shishikura easily caught Ojiro and turned him into a ball of flesh.

"Oh..." Momo had not seen Shishikura's quirk up close before.

"Focus, Ponytail!" Bakugo snapped at her. "The more damage that loser takes, the more he loses his control on them." He blasted toward Shishikura, who ducked out of the way.

Moto pulled some kind of staff that unfolded off her belt. She moved with the grace of a spider over the ground, quicker than you'd expect.

As Bakugo got close to Shishikura, Moto popped out of two crevices and smacked him off balance. She didn't even hit that hard--it just kind of threw off his trajectory, and he went sideways into the ground.

Shishikura reached out to grab him with his flesh fingers.

Bakugo moved out of the way just in the nick of time.

Momo tried to pin Shishikura down with her net, but Moto swatted it away.

"Sorry, Yaoyorozu," she said.

Bakugo blasted Shishikura from the side, and he went skidding.

Shine was watching with interest.

Over to the side she saw a fight going on with a different team: Camie and three others she didn't know.

They were up against Todoroki, Iida, Mina, and Tohru.

It looked pretty one-sided, though. Camie's illusions were keeping the UA students at bay, but no one was actually getting anywhere. The Shiketsu were just playing defense.

Finally Todoroki managed to freeze them in place. Iida kicked through Camie's smoke, and Mina melted their tools.

"Yikes! Okay, I give! I give!" Camie held up her hands.

Shine looked back at the group in her area, just in time to see Moto shoot a swift glance over at the other group--and smile.

Tohru held out some cuffs to cuff the Shiketsu team.

Moto smacked Momo away with her staff just as Momo was coming at her with one of her own. Momo hit the ground a little harder than she thought she would. That didn't just feel like a defensive hit--it felt like the girl was really trying to make Momo fall hard.

Momo started to recover, but Moto blew spores out of her mouth as Bakugo was preparing to blast Shishikura again.

Moto hooked Shishikura with her staff and tossed him a good distance away, with more force than you'd expect from her size.

Bakugo's blast just hit dirt.

He turned to give Moto a surprised look.

The spores hit his skin... He started to cough...

Moto brushed herself off. "Sorry, sweetie, had to do it."

Bakugo began coughing more.

Shine leaned forward, frowning.
