3rd POV


Sierra waited for the two villains to approach, but Tomoe looked towards Echo for answers.

"What the hell did she do?!" she demanded, but Echo shook his head from side to side.

"I'm not completely sure what her quirk is. However, I know it has something to do with light altering things around her" he pointed at the armor and small floating shields around her "Her armor has been affected, it's stronger and it'll make her faster, but she has a limit to how much her quirk can affect" his gaze went to the blades of light that extended from her along with her new wings "But don't let it touch you, the edges cut quite well while the flats of them will leave nasty burns"

Tomoe clicked her tongue in annoyance, she knew that this was a bad set up for her. They needed Sierra alive if possible, at the very least they needed to obtain an arm or a leg, but with Tomoe's quirk, it would be troublesome. Tomoe could easily and accidentally decay Sierra entirely, and they would have nothing left.

"I'll go in first, you just support me by getting rid of her armor and floating shields" he suggested, and she hissed at him

"Don't give me orders!"

"Do you have a better plan?" he asked "We are pressed for time, and it seems that the Nomu is having a hard time with Raiko so it won't be able to help us. Kurogiri is busy making sure that no one escapes and to make sure no heroes can get in when they arrive, and all the villains we brought here are either unconscious, dead, or too afraid to approach" his eyes moved towards Yn who lay on the ground, still out cold "And if that bastard wakes up, we won't be able to win in a team fight"

Tomoe grumbled under her breath many different curses, but she knew he was right. They needed to take her down quickly and get out of there.

"She won't go on the offensive because she only needs to wait until the pros arrive, which gives us a handicap" he smiled "So it's now or never!"

As Echo dawned his knives again and ran at her, Tomoe followed behind him. Sierra seemed very calm, and as she moved her arms up, the shield like armor that was on her hips moved up to block the strike that Echo had attempted to hit her with using his invisible extensions

It wasn't easy for Sierra to block them because she couldn't see them. Unlike Yn, she couldn't use all of her senses as sharply, meaning she could only go on wherever the tip of his knives was pointing.

She was actually moving forward, with every strike that he attempted, she would quickly block or dodge. Her eyes were moving around quickly to counter any of the blades that were being made out of stone.

She was taking quick breaths and there was something odd that Echo noticed. Her style of fighting may have changed to more of a defensive one at the moment, but it was the way that she was reacting that was nostalgic. No. It wasn't how she was reacting, but what she was doing when reacting.

Her movements were not what he remembered. She used as little movement as possible, just barely dodging when she needed to and blocking perfectly when it was impossible to evade, and even when blocking, it was using minimal strength and a flawless technique, in a way that would not put her in any danger.

I-is she....is she using his technique?!

His eyes glanced back toward Yn. He shot a deadly glare at him as his thoughts raced around in a wrathful way

Out of all people! I guess I shouldn't be surprised that she knows it! But still! Three people knowing it, Zulu and her being two of them!

His anger boiled inside of him, threatening to spill out and lead his actions. He needed to get rid of it, and while he didn't want to let it lead his actions and make mistakes, he still wanted to use it to motivate himself to fight.
