Stolen Chances

chapter 6 - In which we finally get to the gorefest

 Iida and the others entered the control room and were greeted by a few moments of silence before All Might said.

"That was certainly...interesting. Now, can you tell me exactly how the villains lost?"

"It could and should have gone better" Yaoyorozu said." The villains had a decent plan, but Mineta panicked and trapped his comrade."

"The plan was viable. Simple, but viable" Izuku said "even at the end Iida could have just carried the nuke out of the room and waited till the time ran out. It wasn't necessary lack of teamwork, but rather a lack of common sense" he muttered just loud enough for the others to hear and snigger.

"Whatever. I'd like to see you keep your cool in the middle of a villain attack," Mineta crossed his arms and Izuku bit back saying he had been in the middle of a villain attack and kept his cool. There was a 50% chance he would be paired with Kacchan in the next round and he preferred not to give the blond any more reason to maim him.

"Any other suggestions?" when no one responded, the number 1 hero said "Very well. Onto the next mach!" he pulled two more balls out of the box and read:"Team J as the heroes against team F as the villains!"

Oh, shit, I'm against Kacchan. Izuku silently cursed, wondering how much destiny actually hated him.

The invisible girl-Hagakure- and the fake French guy, along with the bat-armed Bigfoot and the elbow guy walked out and appeared on the screen a few seconds later. The tape guy and the multi limbed giant entered the building while the blond talked to the sentient pair of gloves.

"Any ideas for strategy?" All Might eyed him none too subtly. Weirdly, the silent, heterochromatic guy from his right was the one who spoke.

"It would be better for the villains to stay together. It would be very hard for the villains to catch the girl with her invisible Quirk, so splitting up would be counterproductive. On the other hand, the heroes should spit up or at least arrive in the room at different times. The boy could distract the villains while the girl could slip behind them and claim the bomb quickly" he said

"Very good, young Todoroki, that was an in depth analysis of the situation"

"Aoyoma should be careful, he's actually at a disadvantage here..."

"If you're going to say something, at least use a normal volume, it's interesting!" Izuku started when the spiky haired guy-Kirishima- slapped his shoulder. He blushed but continued nonetheless.

"I said that the heroes are at a disadvantage. Yes, Hagakure may be good at stealth, but Aoyoma won't be able to use his Quirk."

"And why is that?"

"Because the exercise consists in claiming a bomb. That boy has a laser Quirk with a long range but little accuracy. In a secluded environment, it's dangerous to use this since there's a high chance he'd just hit the bomb by mistake. So, he'll have to distract them with his physical strength which doesn't seem to be his strongest suit."

"True, young Midoriya. It will be interesting to see what both teams would do. Now, let's learn" he said, turning towards the computer now that the five prep minutes were up.

The heroes entered the building through the front door and it seemed like they stayed together. They wasted a couple of minutes searching for the right room and taking a few wrong turns before finally finding the room on the third floor. But there was a problem with the room.
