Colors in the Dark

[26] Turbulence

"Yeah, it's a power-stocking, transferable quirk that can only be passed on by will. An emitter-type that destroys the body from the inside out if it isn't in a strong enough vessel. So unless we find out how to use the 'Full Cowling' that Midoriya uses by honing a mere small percent of his power, we're toast," Ares explained when she didn't say anything more.

"But- All Might- WHAT!?"

"Oh shut up; there's villains attacking the camp! We can talk about this later! Asclepius has all the details that I just got from it anyway, just go!"

Ayami took a deep breath as she slowed the rate of her explosions, having taken note of most of the class. By some miracle, no one had spotted her yet; probably too high for the loud booms to seem more like distant attacks from near the fire.

Kyouka, Tooru, Aoyama, everyone at camp, and most of Class B hadn't moved since the last time she did an aura vision sweep, and though Ochaco and Tsu were right next to an unfamiliar golden yellow aura, Midoriya and the others were getting close, so Ayami trusted them to manage. Dabi looks close to the girls and Aoyama at camp, but he's walking away, so hopefully he just didn't see him. Momo...

Ayami looked around for the light pink aura, concentrating until a misty trail showed her where it was; hanging limply from another, navy blue and gray-blue one, that she assumed was Awase. Nearby, a monstrous sickly green one surrounded in other pale colors was tearing after them.

"Oh no; that can't be good!" She huffed, pulling Explosion back into herself as she instead focused on Dark Shadow. A creature identical to that of Tokoyami's, except the fuzzy static it seemed to be made of was tinged red instead of purple, and the glowing yellow eyes were replaced with light lime green ones. It seemed to read her mind, enveloping her body as it hit the ground and absorbing the fall damage before retreating into her back.

Ayami stood up with a huff, her headache creeping back, and Ares was getting extremely strained from all the quirks he was holding in at once.

The now-amber-blue-and-red-eyed girl ran forward toward Momo's aura, seeing a six-armed monster, each ending with a different type of weapon, with exposed brains that seemed to be rampaging.

This must be one of those "Noumu" things I've heard about! They're horrifying!

It was chasing after Awase, who held Momo in his arms and stumbled forward, though he was falling closer and closer to the monster. "Awase! Momo!" Ayami yowled, charging toward them full-speed as she opened up Half-Cold Half-Hot and sent a wave of ice from her right arm and leg, momentarily trapping the Noumu.

It quickly broke out, screaming like a banshee as its limbs extended toward its two targets.

But then, the arms froze, and disappeared into its back. It started walking away back the way it came, with no sign of coming back.

Ayami was shocked, walking up to the ice it had been trapped in and emanated heat from her left side to melt it before tucking Todoroki's quirk away again.

Awase also seemed stunned, stopping to stand by Ayami with Momo in his arms. "It's just... gonna leave us here?"

Momo groaned, weakly clenching her fist as she created something with her quirk and handed it to the 1-B student. "Awase, use your quirk to attach this to the monster."

Ayami huffed, her body especially strained as she activated Dupli-Arms, four more arms sprouting painfully from her back, and gently took Momo from Awase's grasp as she handed him the small device. He looked curiously at it. "What is it? A button?"
