Yawning, I waited for All Might to announce the next competitors.

Kaminari waved me over, "Midoriya, do we have any strategies? Or, any idea on who could cause us the most trouble?"

I shrugged. "We can't think of many strategies, since we don't know our opponents yet. As for those who could be issues... Todoroki's already out of the picture... Other than that, maybe Bakugou?" Thinking about it, I added, "Actually, now that I think about it, the villain team has a lot of powerful people. We might be in a bit of trouble no matter who we get. The matchups aren't exactly in our favor, either."

He threw his head back, sighing. "Aw, come on! You're definitely right." He glanced up, "Do you have any idea what these combinations might act like?"

Glancing up, I thought about it. "Well, Kirishima can block well, and Yaoyorozu is just overall useful. Then there's Sero, who can work on long range, and Ojiro, who does close-ranged attacks. Tsuyu and Shoji are just powerful in general, and their quirks have a lot of uses. As for Mina and Jiro, Mina has a great quirk and is pretty good at strategizing and picking up on things, while Jiro can give powerful attacks and basically track our movements..."

Kaminari cupped his hands over his face and groaned. "Great. We're doomed."

I laughed, "Not yet. As long as we split up, the villains can't remain together either, meaning that we only have to battle against one of them. And, if you place close attention to them or make sure you attack first, they can't use their quirks very well."

Moving his hands, he beamed, pumping his fist into the air. "You're right! Glad I have you on my team, dude."

"Yeah."

"NEXT UP," All Might began, "ARE URARAKA AND TOKOYAMI VS. SERO AND OJIRO!" Good that they're out of the way. Neither mine nor Kaminari's quirks are all that great against long-ranged attacks...

"COME ON, I WANT TO GO!" Bakugo shouted, explosions flickering in his hand. Jeez. He needs to learn how to calm down.

As the heroes appeared on the screen, Kaminari elbowed me. "Figure everything out yet?" he joked.

I rolled my eyes. "It just came on screen. What do expect of me?"

He laughed then looked back up, which I took as my cue to do the same.

Strange. This time the area is dark. Is this because of Tokoyami or just coincidence?

Uraraka and Tokoyami took quickly to wandering around, Uraraka forming a hand-umbrella over her eyes as if it would help her to see.

Eventually, they stumbled upon a building with lights on in the back, as opposed to the other darkened buildings. Really? Why would the villains not turn the lights off?

Uraraka pointed towards the building, holding her finger to her lips. Tokoyami nodded as they made their way to the side, peering through the building. From what was visible, it seemed as if the building was ransacked.

My eyes widened upon noticing an open door in the back. Robbery.

After looking through the window, Uraraka shook her head. Was the place already robbed?

From the corner of my eye, I spotted scattered dollars and smaller items, leading around the corner.

"That house is just a prop," I whispered to Kaminari, pointing to the screen, "There's an obvious trail leading out, and the lights are on. I don't think either of them would make a mistake like that."
Kaminari glanced over at me, giving an approving smile before looking back up.

Suddenly, Tokoyami put his hand on Uraraka's shoulder, pointing to the trail. She nodded as they followed the clues, finding themselves in front of a few houses.

At first, there was no visible sign that anyone had gone inside. Upon further inspection, however, I spotted that the lamppost looked slightly tilted, and there was mud on the roof. They went on the roof to avoid leaving easily-spotted footprints.

Silently, I pointed out the footprints to Kaminari, while continuing to observe the screen.

Bending down, Uraraka tapped the bottoms of Tokoyami's feet, causing him to be lifted into the air. He glanced overtop the scene, catching himself on the lamppost. I noticed as his eyes widened when he noticed the footprints, quickly pointing them out to Uraraka.

She nodded as he floated back down, the two of them making their way to the back. Uraraka has the best advantage inside, I realized, Tokoyami's quirk might go rampant unless he turns the lights on, but that would notify the villains of their position. Sero's quirk wouldn't work very well in a small building, and Ojiro's tail might get in the way and knock things over instead of attacking.

The screen panned to Ojiro and Sero, with Sero stuffing things into a bag while Ojiro struggled to avoid knocking things over. Just as I thought.

Uraraka and Tokoyami crept in behind them, hiding behind a bookcase as they turned around. Walking back, Sero glanced around the corner, only to be met with the two.

His eyes widened as Uraraka switched on the lights, allowing Tokoyami to activate his quirk and restrain Sero. Well that was quicker than expected. Though, he was at a disadvantage. Ojiro shouldn't fare much better.

My suspicions were quickly proven as Ojiro attempted to fight back, instead knocking several items over. He sighed, giving up as he bounced around the room.

Uraraka motioned to Tokoyami, lifting objects into the air for Tokoyami to throw.

As Tokoyami threw items, Ojiro deflected them with his tail, the floating objects allowing him to move around more easily. Just as he became more confident, however, Uraraka snuck up behind him, restraining him easily.

"THE HERO TEAM HAS WON!"

Darn, maybe I should've made this longer or something...

Oops?

Anyways....
