Different But Not Bad

Chapter 14 {Cavalty Battle Finale}

Of course, it wasn't just Shoto's team that was going after Izuku, it was all the teams. Save for us. "Let's grab it now!" "We can't! Even if we manage to grab it among all the others, Shoto will be able to grab it easily! We aren't as strong as Izuku!" Iida charged his engines. Shoto's team consisted of Denki, Momo, and Iida. He took off and I realized Momo must've created rollerblades as they moved effortlessly with Iida. Denki sparked with electricity and Momo started sprouting metals from her skin, my eyes widened, "Denki's preparing to shock the entire field!" Pony looked over to me, "Huh?!" I pursed my lips and grew panicky, "He's gonna shock everyone! Just to get the ten million!" I knew he was dumb but not this dumb. He said something and Momo started creating a sheet in which Shoto pulled over his team, Momo finished her creations of metal and they were large metal beams. I bite my lip, "Think you'll be okay with one hand gone?" I didn't wait for Togaru's answer as I took my hand away from the team. A lime tile was summoned, it was the second strongest color I had. Second only to my red tile that could knock you out but It always left me unconscious before I finished using it. I may always have electricity running through my veins but that doesn't make me entirely immune to electricity, my own or someone else's. Denki's shock went through the entire field but when it reached us my lime tile absorbed the electricity, it slowly sucked all the electricity that Denki put out in the entire place until it died down. Denki looked confused as to where his shock went and then he looked our way with wide eyes and saw how hard I took the attack. Everyone felt it but I felt it the most since I took it all, it was like getting tased 50 times in the same spot all around your body. It made my body shake and my muscles grow numb and cold and they locked and my heart race faster than humanly possible, it was honestly shit. Shoto pulled the sheet away to reveal him and his team was unharmed. Son of a bitch! The lime tile had absorbed the electricity and was storing it, I rarely stored electricity, I only did so when I knew I wouldn't be able to summon any on my own because of how painful it was after a few minutes depending on how much I took. Shoto raised his hand and frost started pouring from it and Momo gave him one of her metal poles. He dragged it across the ground and froze everywhere the tip of the pole touched. It froze everyone down but we were far away enough to not get frozen.

"What? What'd he do?" I don't fucking care Mic! "Todoroki took care of that crowd of teams in an instant!" I know Mic! Please just...

Everything grew blurrier than normal and everything hummed together into one soft noise. "He froze them even after Kaminari's shock failed..." I heard faintly "I guess it should be expected, but he took into account how a lot of people..." Aizawa's voice faded out and I fell to my knees but still tried to keep Togaru up. I couldn't see or hear or feel anything. And we hated it! I don't like this! I want this to stop! Make it stop! Please just make it stop... I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder, the first thing I felt since this. "Higashi! Shiria! Please get up!" I tried my best to concentrate on his voice but it faded in and out but I knew I wasn't falling unconscious. I just couldn't...!

Shiori

Of course he wouldn't be able to handle that much pain, I was barely able to keep it together the first time I tried to store my electricity but I did have more practice with my Quirk then him. I carefully flexed his fingers of his free hand, oh it's been a while since I was allowed to do this! Since, technically speaking, our 'chat' with Shigaraki was the second time we ever switched controls. I slowly stood up and made sure to keep my balance, I moved a strand of his hair out of his face with the hand he left available. I sighed quietly, it was still that hideous neon orange color, I remember when our hair used to be just plain white. Why did he have to dye it? I looked Yugo in his indigo eyes, "I'm fine, ain't nothing to be worried about!" I tried to imitate Shiria's smile. "Team Midoriya has nowhere left to go!" Midoriya's team? The fuck was he doing before I took control? U.A. sports festival, that's right. I wish I watched at least one year of this before so I knew what the hell was going on. Shiria's conscious reminded me of Midoriya, he looked determined atop of two of Shiria's classmates and a new girl with pink hair. What the hell was he doing up there? What the hell was I doing holding someone up? I racked my brain to see if he left some kind of memory to help me out. It was a quick one but it gave me an understanding of why he was here. "Todoroki made it so he'd have the ten million to himself to seize in an instant!" Present Mic, the voice hero. And Todoroki was another one of Shiria's classmates, right? "At least that's what I thought five minutes ago! But unbelievably, Midoriya's been able to keep away in that cramped space for five minutes!" I'm guessing that cramped space was that wall of ice formed in a circle. There was a chime in my head as Shiria's conscious reminded me, 'Less than a minute left!' I groaned. I get it kid.

"Huh?! What happened? So fast! So fast!"

Nani, the fuck? "Iida, if you could accelerate that fast, then show us in the prelims! The tables are turned! Offense and defense right at the edge! Reining that in, Todoroki gets the ten million! And Midoriya is suddenly left with zero points!" I wish this wall of ice wasn't in the way so I could see what the fuck was going on! "With less than a minute left, Todoroki currently has four headbands! He's wrestled away the top spot from Midoriya, who was running away like crazy! Will these be the top four teams to move on to the next round?!" Who will be the four teams? Shiria's team was in fifth place and no chance of going any higher. "Team Bakugou seizes two headbands to move to third place! The rankings keep changing in the final stages! It's the passion of youth!" Did 20 years count as youthful? Well, technically 24 years but I can't age anymore, I think it has something to do with being six feet under for three years. "Bakugou is merciless!" Jeez, he is, no need to point that out. "If he's gonna do it, he's gonna be thorough! He's, you know, a perfectionist! Now, there are only seconds left!" Yugo nudged me, "C'mon, we have to get out of the line of fire." I nodded but didn't open my mouth, "Oh no! Team Midoriya didn't retrieve the ten million points! Time's just about up! Start the countdown!" "Ten seconds!" "I can read you know!" I received no response, it was just his conscious, Shiria was still resting. I would too if my body was in that much pain. Bakugou blasted through the wall of ice and entered with his team behind him.

"Time's up!"

Finally, "That's the end of the second round, the cavalry battle! Now, let's take a look at the top four teams right away!" Well now I wanna take a nap and I'm not even tired. "In first place, Team Todoroki!" Damn you Shiria and your Quirk drawback. "In second place, Team Bakugou!" Maybe after this, he'll be healed up after all that rest he just got. "In third place, Tetsut-- Huh? What, it's Team Shinso?! When did you come from behind?!" Who the fuck was Shinso? If Shiria knew then he wasn't spilling. "In fourth place, Team Midoriya!" Aw, good job little man! "These four teams... will advance... to the final round! Now, we'll take an hour's break for lunch before we start the afternoon festivities! See ya!" Lunch, I'm parched. Dead people didn't need to drink so that was unmistakably Shiria's body speaking. "Hey, Eraserhead, let's go grab food." Cute "I'm going to sleep." Kinda cute. A nap sounded nice right now, I still have to wait for Shiria's resting time to be over so we could switch out. I'm still not used to a breathing living body that required things like sleep, food, and water. Technically though Shiria's body didn't require food so I didn't need to worry about starving him.

We made our way out of the arena after saying our goodbyes to our teammates, pretty cool people for Class 1B. Shiria despised them and after seeing a few memories I could see why. But these kids were alright. I laced my fingers together and pushed my hands to the back of my head and relaxed as we walked, "What are you in the mood for?" I turned to Yugo, "Can't say I'm hungry." He chuckled, "Of course you're not, you're Higashi!" Yeah, Shiria fucking Higashi.
