Chapter 119: can you say "You crying?" in the voice?!

Upon reaching my basecamp, I took a quick assessment of my team as we introduced ourselves to one another.

Firstly, Jurota Shishida, the hairy man that had spoken up before. While typically a gentleman, his quirk allowed him to enter an enhanced state that made him significantly larger in size. In this enhanced state, he had increased strength, speed and durability. The downside was that in this state he would become more wild and reckless.

Then we had Ibara Shiozaki. She had long thorny vines that grew out of her head like hair that she could control at will. She had also, absolutely thrashed Denki's ass in the sports festival.

Next was Kosei Tsuburaba. His quirk seemed like an improved version of my air manipulation. He was able to solidify any of the air he breathed out and even make an invisible prison with it. This prison was soundproof and difficult to break.

Lastly, Hiryu Rin. He quirk allowed him to grow green, reptile-like scales on his body that he could also shoot as projectiles. However, their durability as armor seemed subpar in comparison to Kirishima's.

"My name is Ryo Yamada, but call me Ryo. My quirk is manipulation, simply put, anything I touch I can change its state of matter and shape so long as I remain in physical contact with it." I begin to explain.

I pluck a scale off Hiryu, transforming it into a cube of pure keratin.

"But anything alive is off limits," I quickly add.

Jurota nods. 

"On the other team, we're most concerned about Kaminari and Shinso's quirks." he explained.

"Hmm, Shinso's quirk is tricky but just don't respond to his voice-" I paused.

"Better yet, lets make the agreement not to ask or answer anyone's questions, just in case." I suggest and the team nods.

"As for Denki, Ibara, I think you have him handled," I grin over at the green-haired(?) green-vined (?) girl who has her hands clasped together as though she were praying.

"Let him discharge as much electricity as possible and he'll incapacitate himself."

"Alright," Jurota spoke up, "so this is the plan..."

According to our plan, we split up.

Ibara was on her own, using her vines to feel out the spaces around her to hopefully catch where the opposing team was.

She was probably who they were most wary about, so she would serve as a distraction for what came next.

Upon finding them with his enhanced sense of smell, Jurota would launch his attack, going after Denki first who would be weak against melee attacks.

Kosei would accompany him, keeping the others at bay while Jurota did what he had to.

And all seemed to be going well.

We had taken out Tsuyu and Kirishima for now, and Kosei had Koda in his soundproof air prison.

Until...

"ALRIGHT, LET'S GET THEM JUROTA!" Kosei's voice rang out.

I paused, looking on from the shadows as Jurota roared in response.

Only to fall limp.

'That wasn't Kosei who spoke...'

My eyes dart around the scene only to land on Shinso, and the mask he had on.

'A voice modulator?'

I dart in just as Kosei traps Shinso in an air prison.

"Ryo! Jurota is-!" he calls to me and I nod, raising my leg.

He looks at me curiously until I slam my foot down onto Jurotas.

He squeals and hops back, but it seems like the hypnoses was removed.

Before we can even breathe, Denki runs at us.

Kosei and I dart back but Jurota successfully grabs hold of him.

"WAIT, NO-!" But it was too late, Denki unleashing a huge bolt of electricity that causes Jurota to twitch uncontrollably.

Impressively, he regains bodily function long enough to throw the human Pikachu aside into some metal piping.

I run over to move the pipes and restrain the boy.

Before I can head off for the capture cell, Kosei screams.

"Damn...!" I curse as Tsuyu had already wrapped her tongue around the 1-B boy, darting off towards their base.

I look over as Jurota somehow fights off the electricity that would render most people incapacitated for days.

"I'll leave this to you!" I shout before running off towards our base.

I had Denki wrapped in metal piping and dragged him with some of my air manipulation.

In spite of his whining and fuss, I successfully threw him behind the bars of the capture cell.

"TRAITOR!" he screeched at me and I stuck out my tongue at him before taking off.

'I need to get back and help.'

Right now it was 1 - 1, and I wasn't about to let them take the lead.

But by the time I had arrived back at the battleground, the score had shifted to 3 - 1 in our favour

"Only Shinso and Tsuyu left huh..?" I mutter to myself as I scour the grounds for any sign of the two.

It seemed that Tsuyu had used a metal pipe to break Shinso out of Kosei's air prison. Now they were both likely hiding somewhere, trying to come up with a counter attack.

It's in this exploration that I encounter a trail of vines.

'Ibara, maybe the rest have gathered.'

I run alongside them, careful not to poke myself on their thorns, until a clearing comes into view.

Then a rush of vines come toward me.

I grab hold of them, diverting their path and rolling to my side.

'ow...'

I tried not to look down at the bloody state of my hands and run forward.

"It's me Ibara!" I yell but stop.

Something wasn't right.

"Ryo! Ibara is hypnotized!" Hiryu yelled as I dashed past her to join him and Jurota.

"I couldn't tell where his voice came from," Hiryu muttered, scales crawling up his arms as he readied himself.

"He's using the echoes to hide his position," I respond, taking in the series of complex pipes around us.

Suddenly, Jurota dashes off in search of Shinso.

Hiryu calls after him but its no use.

'He's not gonna respond, communication's gonna break down...!'

I rush to wake Ibara but Tsuyu's tongue lifts her away onto a nearby rooftop.

Hiryu curses and shoots scales at the girl, keeping her at bay.

'that's it!'

"Hiryu, keep her distracted," I yell and he nods.

Then I run into the maze of pipes.

I run until I see the capture cage.

"Ryo! What are you doing here?" Kosei yells through the bars but I raise my finger to keep him silent.

"Just staging an ambush, don't mind me."
