- MY HANDS AND feet itched the longer i stayed still as more of eri's power swirls into my palms. i clench my fists, shaking my fingers in an attempt to get rid of it, to make my quirk stop taking eri's power. but nothing was working.
the golden mist kept swirling with scarlet as my hands trembled, palms white-hot with pain, but the burning sensation couldn't stay my main focus for long. chisaki whipped around and sent another fierce attack our way.
i wrapped an arm around eri and lifted her to rest on my hip as izuku hurtled through the stone spikes.
"syd! what's going on?!"
"i don't know!" i yell back, "i just started taking her power-"
the stone spikes curve together and form a long twisting shape, the concrete snapping together as chisaki slashes past us. the claw shoots up, before crashing into the concrete spike that i balanced on.
"like-" i leaped out of the way, eri's arms wrapping tightly around my neck, "like a sponge, or something!"
viridian sparks cloud my vision as izuku shoots through the stone structures, grabbing into my arm. before he can speak, chisaki lets out an angered yell and sends the stone to reform into sharp spikes that lunge straight toward us.
i held eri's head with my other hand and ducked back as izuku shot forward and sent a swift kick at the stone, exploding them in a blast of viridian light. the debris shoots out in all directions as izuku's grip on my arm tightens, the two of us getting thrown high above the platform another ricochet of wind bursts out.
my eyes tightly shut as air whipped past my body before it stills into a gentle glide, the soft tingling of scarlet energy floating around my legs.
i sucked in a sharp breath, finding the ground hundreds of yards below us.
"how'd your kick send us into the sky?" i said, holding eri closer to me.
"that was sorta like all might's new hampshire smash... the air pressure propelled us at a high speed.. did i lose control... like when i fought kacchan?" he says, gazing down. "in other words, i used one for all at one hundred percent- no, that can't be right. if i had, my leg would be broken!"
my hair floated up as i looked back down to the earth, scarlet energy shining around my fingertips with the yellow light of eri's power.
