"Okay all you first-years, I hope you're happy with your chosen teams!" Present Mic's voice said. The crowd was roaring louder than ever before as you waited in formation with your team. You were the front horse, which made you in charge of defense. Midoriya, being the mastermind, was on top. Uraraka and Hatsume were the sides. Hatsume was a support course student who equipped herself with gadgets to help the team, which consisted of a jetpack for Midoriya and jet boots which she had given Uraraka. She was also really loud. 

"Let's get this party started!" Present Mic's voice was just as strong as the first round. Did he ever get tired of being so loud? "One final countdown before the game starts. Three! Two! One!" 

     "Begin!" Midnight shouted the command and the majority of teams began surging forward. There was no doubt that your team was the one most of them were after. Wow, this was going to suck.

     "This is it." Uraraka breathed. Your heart pounded into your ears.

     "What are we gonna do, Midoriya?" You asked frantically. 

     "Here they come!" Hatsume seemed creepily excited. She kind of worried you. 

     "That's easy. We're running away!" Midoriya announced, but it was too late. Another team was coming straight at you, and they were prepared. 

     "I don't think so!" Their team leader shouted. You yelped as your legs sank into the ground.
     "What's happening?" Uraraka cried out in distress. 

     "We're sinking!" You couldn't see the look on Midoriya's face, but you really hoped he was thinking of a plan to get you out of this mess. 

     "No good, I can't get out!" Uraraka said. Neither could you. 

     "Uraraka, Hatsume, watch your faces!" Midoriya pressed a button to activate his jetpack. Even if you wanted to you couldn't have used your airbending to help, because you were to busy holding on. It was going to be a real challenge to bend and act as the front horse, but you were determined to succeed. 

     Your group finally rocketed out of the mushy ground, soaring overtop of some of the other teams. Hatsume's hand had a death grip in your shoulder. At least someone had your back, even if you didn't quite know them that well. 

     "He flew? Damn support course. After them!" The team that was previously after you yelled out. You knew this would be a good opportunity for someone to attack. 

     "Jirou, now!" You heard Hagakure's voice yell, and you let go of Midoriya leg long enough to pivot around and fling enough water the prevent Jirou's earphone jacks from grabbing your team. You really needed to get into the game. You had to win. 

     "I'll do my best, but I might need help spotting projectiles!" You pulled water from the air to help protect you. This was going to be a big test of your abilities. 

     "Of course! Keep a watch out." Midoriya said from above. "I know we can win if we work together." 

     "We're landing!" Uraraka said as she used her quirk to make it easier. Your feet hit the ground and your team began running. So far so good. 

     "So what do you think of my babies? Aren't they just precious? Cuteness can be manufactured, you know." Hatsume squealed in delight. You had to admit, they weren't too bad. 

     "Excellent mobility! Your babies are amazing, Hatsume!" Midoriya complemented her enthusiastically. She was growing in you and her gadgets had saved the day. 

"Yeah, Hatsume. Good job!" You gave the girl the attention she was craving. Maybe you would hit her up for some suite upgrades? 

     "Aw, thanks!" She blushed.
