Two Heroes - Chapter 6

Boom

Boom

BOOM

The two villains burst through Shoto's ice wall, although burst wasn't the right term for it. I prepped myself for battle, eyeing the tall, skinny villain with eagle eyes. His hand was still spread wide like a glove of some sort, meaning that he was the one who had gotten him and his friend through. But the ice hadn't shattered, more like disappeared.

"What's with this guy's quirk?" Bakugou asked, as he, Kirishima and Shoto took up offensive stances.

"Stay on your guard," Shoto said.

"Shut up, I know that!"

I rolled my eyes, but refrained for giving both of them a piece of my mind. Now was not the time to be fighting amongst ourselves. We had villains to deal with.

The short, chubby guy stepped forward, cracking sounds echoing through the space as he rolled his neck. "So," he said, voice deep and gruff, "you wanna pick a fight? Well then, let's see how tough you really are!"

In a split second, the villain's body transformed; his skin turned purple whilst the rest of him expanded to a great height, ripping his shirt to shreds. His pants stayed, thank goodness. His semi-balding head grew long raven locks, tumbling down his grizzly back and also on his chest. His fingernails grew into long claws, too, the glinting of them making them look like steel.

I gulped, stepping back a little at the sudden transformation. His quirk allowed him to transform into a troll-like monster? What the heck?!

Shoto threw the first punch, freezing his hand up and sending an icy barrage towards the monster. On collision, he threw a punch at the ice, shattering it in one shot. He threw another punch, and another, pummelling his way through the ice attack like it was nothing. The four of us leapt out of the way just as the monster broke through.

From his position in the air, Bakugou blasted himself back at the villain, igniting his hand as he aimed at his open back. "DIE!"

A resounding painful cry signalled that Bakugou had hit his target, and I couldn't help a proud smile from stretching my lips as he landed safely back on the ground. "Atta, Bakugou!" I called, switching my gaze from my ash-blond friend to the smoky haze he'd left behind him. My eyes narrowed in on the smoke as it suddenly moved, suddenly widening as a giant purple figure came charging out of the smoke.

My voice got caught in my throat as the purple beast roared, clenching his gigantic fist as he swung back to unleash an attack on Bakugou. The ash-blond boy turned around, scarlet eyes wide as the beast came closer and closer with each passing second.

However, just as he threw his punch, a spiky-haired boy went rushing past me and towards Bakugou, pushing said boy out of the way as he cried, "BAKUGOU!" Kirishima raised his arms to cover his face, hardening them at the moment the monster's fist made contact with him. Kirishima held him for a moment, but was suddenly sent flying backwards, smashing through Shoto's ice wall and straight into the wall on the opposite side.

"KIRISHIMA!" Bakugou cried out, panic-stricken all over.

I went to go help my red-headed classmate, but stopped at Shoto's voice. "Dodge!" he called, causing me to turn just in time to see the tall, skinny villain throwing a light blue ball at me. Instinctively, I threw up a shield whilst diving to the side, rolling back onto my feet as I saw my shield vanish into thin air - disappearing like the ice before.

I watched with wide eyes as Bakugou blasted himself out of the way of the villains attack. What the hell? What was with this guy's quirk? It was like he was making everything he aimed at just... vanish.
