He Just Doesn't Let Up.

"Hey, Kyarakuta? This might be a good time for your plan."

"Right. Phaser!" The quirk takes over and I touch Midoriya's arm, praying that my plan will work.

Bakugo falls through us, just as I had hoped.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Sero once again pulls Bakugo back with his group. It's like Bakugo is on one of those child leashes. And, let's be honest, he probably should be. "CHARGE THOSE IDIOTS!" Bakugo yells angrily, kicking his teammates when they hesitated. "GET THE POINTS!"

"Dude, they don't have any points," Kirishima explains rather politely to Bakugo.

"YES, THEY DO! YOU SAW THEM DISAPPEAR AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS!"

"We can't focus on them if we're not sure they even have any points." While they argue their focus is taken off us. I know if we move they'll snap out of it.

"Warp Gate," I whisper to myself. Uraraka glances at me, tilting her head.

"Guys, hold on," I say just loud enough for my team to hear.

"Wh-" Midoriya's question is cut off when I make a portal beneath our feet and we fall through it. We end up on the other side of the arena, far away from Bakugo and the others.

"You're planed worked amazingly!" Uraraka beams, smiling.

"Don't jinx us."

"Yeah, we're not done yet." Midoriya stares off into the distance, weighing his options.

"They don't seem to care about us. Though soon they'll realize no one has the ten million points. And the few that saw it disappear will piece it together."

"So... we should stay low?" Uraraka asks hopefully.

"Not necessarily. The other teams will notice something's up if we avoid everyone and we have no headband."

"So we should attack the weaker teams." Tokoyami finishes my thought.

"Exactly." Midoriya puts a hand to his chin, thinking out loud.

"It's true someone would notice if we stay still, but we don't want to risk attacking anyone if we really don't have to. Besides, we don't know how long Conceal's quirk will last on the headband when he's not the quirk Kyarakuta is currently using. It may be best to hang back and wait it out. But at the same time, this will draw unneeded attention to us. Maybe if we just run around like we're still fighting, but don't actually attack? That'll be one way to avoid trouble all togethe-"

"Hey, Deku?" Uraraka cuts him off, tapping his leg.

"Wh- what?" Midoriya snaps out of his trance, shaking his head to clear his mind.

"We have company"

I look past Midoriya and notice Todoroki and his team trotting over to us. They slow to a halt in front of us.

"So, you lost your headband already. Figures. Though I'd expect more from you, Kyarakuta." Todoroki taunts, not knowing how wrong he is. He must not have seen the headband disappear at the beginning. "You weren't worth worrying over, I guess. Not that I was worried. You guys are so pathetic; I wouldn't even waste my quirk on you." He scoffs, shaking his head. "Come on, let's go." His team jogs away, leaving us speechless.

OMNISCIENT POV

"Well, at least he's on to us," Uraraka says cheerfully. Midoriya simply sits, contemplating Todoroki's words.

"I will beat him." He says suddenly.

"What?" Uraraka looks up, gasping at how the sun somehow shined on him at the perfect angle to make him look heavenly.

"I will beat him," Midoriya says again, louder this time. Uraraka smiles, gleaming up at him. Takusan runs his eyes at the two.

"So what's the plan? We still have 6 minutes left. And, as I said, we can't just stand here." Midoriya looks down at Takusan, nodding with determination.

"Let's get some headbands." Tokoyami and Takusan nod, but Uraraka hesitates.

"Is that really such a great idea?"

"We can't sit around and wait for them to pick us off." Takusan points out, clearly annoyed that they've just been standing for a good three minutes at least.

"Okay, you're right. Let's go." They run to the middle of the field, where they find Bakugo very angrily yelling and exploding another group.

"Is... is Kacchan's headband gone?" Midoriya stammers, not quite comprehending the fact.

"Yeah, but that's a good thing for us. He's too focused on getting his back to care about ours." Takusan mentions, trying to get Midoriya to focus.

"Right. Who should we go after?"

TAKUSAN'S POV

In the complete chaos I spot Shinso riding on top of his mindless minions. I consider him a friend, so I'm going to stay away from him so he can do his best. I look in the opposite direction, noticing a team with a headband around their neck of only 225 points.

"Hey, they look like an easy target." Midoriya twists around, eyeing the prey I picked.

"Yeah, you're right. Let's take them down." We approach the team, trying but failing to look inconspicuous. They notice us immediately and turn to defend their points. The one on top seems quite angry.

"Honenuki, deal with them." The guy in the front narrows his eyes, probably more mad at the guy on his back than us. Either way, the ground below us turns to a liquid-like substance, sucking us in slowly. My teammates start panicking, picking their feet up in a feeble attempt to escape. I quickly absorb his quirk, letting it run through me.

I roll my eyes, switching to Element and using him to solidify the earth below us and trap the other team by wrapping earth around their ankles. I then throw a few rocks at them, just for good measure. Most hit the rider, who turns to steel and isn't at all affected. We get closer to them, reaching for their headband. That moment Honenuki liquefies the earth around his team's ankles. They take their chance to bolt, not risking any more of a fight with us.

"Darn, we were so close!" Uraraka pouts, eyeing Midoriya. "What now?"

"Well..."

"DON'T THINK I FORGOT ABOUT YOU NERDS!" Oh, that very familiar voice is back. "YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET EVER BEING BORN!" He seems angry. I sigh as he once again jumps off his team, flying through the air at us.

"Sparkles." I turn the team around, making sure I don't hit anyone. "Prepare yourselves!" Bakugo reaches down with on hand, creating small explosions. He's zeroing on us fast, so I have no time to prepare. Oh well, I've trained for this. Sparkle's will do fine.

The moment Bakugo creates a large explosion, Sparkles does too. The flames meet each other, fighting to get through. Smoke covers the arena, and while we have cover I warp my team away. I can hear Bakugo yell in rage as the time finally runs out.
