ii. A Genuine Threat
The team of Broccoli Head Midoriya, Emo Bird Boy Tokoyami, Crazy Cotton Candy Hatsume, and Unknown to Everyone [L/n] had been formed.
Of course, all any of them knew is what they saw her do during the Obstacle Race, and it was unbelievably impressive. But of course, they had questions, because they couldn't fully team up until they understood what she was capable of.
"What's your Quirk? Oh, and uh, your name?" Hatsume asked with a genuine smile. [L/n] thought she was very pretty and liked her crazy-ish vibe.
"My Quirk is known as Puppet, and my name is [F/n] [L/n]. My Quirk, once all five fingers are placed on someone or something, I can control it, in a sense, as long as I understand it. With humans, I am fully capable of controlling a person's body, all the way to their organs. With robots, well, I have to know it in its entirety. The only reason I could do what I did to those things was because I had a basic understanding of its body, but I wouldn't be able to do anything complex to it." The girl explained and admitted.
"That's awesome!" Hatsume beamed, jumping up and down like a child. "You're like, a total threat!"
"While I may be our offensive power, my Quirk can reach a lot further. I believe she should be the front of our horse. That way she can reach forwards, left, and right. Dark Shadow is capable of extending as far as needed from any position, so I think that's what we should do." Tokoyami spoke up, everyone in the group agreeing with him.
"I can advance my own senses as well, but all five fingers have to be placed on myself. So if I need to see something further away, or hear something further away, I can do that as well." The girl informed.
"Wow, you really are like Momo and Todoroki." Tokoyami said with slight awe.
"Students who get in by recommendation are awesome!" Midoriya beamed.
As Hatsume gave them all support items that would allow them to float, they were ready.
The moment it started, everyone was after Midoriya. And no one knew who the heck was the front of his horse, but nor did they care. Except for Tenya Iida, Hanta Sero, and Eijirou Kirishima.
The first team to make their advance towards them was Bakugou's, which didn't surprise anyone, except [L/n], who has no idea that there was a mass of tension between the two.
As the angry boy made his advance, Dark Shadow went to cut him off, but the light from his explosions made Dark Shadow irrelevant, which is where [L/n] came in.
Extending a hand, she slapped it across the redheads chest and before any of them knew it, the spiky redheaded boy collapsed, unable to move his legs until she removed her hand, teetering the entirety of the Bakugou horse.
"What the hell Spiky Hair!?" Bakugou barked, the redhead finally stabling himself, the Midoriya team long gone.
"I don't know man! The [h/c] haired girl touched me and my legs just stopped!" He yelled back, filled with confusion and panic. He had been so panicked that he forgot she did something similar to him earlier.
Team Todoroki was feared, and for good reason. Iida's speed, Kaminari's electricity, Yaoyorozu's creation, and Todoroki himself, they were just lethal beyond compare.
As Todoroki went to swipe Midoriya's headband, Hatsume's support items blasted them into the air, avoiding the team with ease.
Landing on the ground, things took quite the negative turn as they ended up in a corner, everyone facing Midoriya and his team. Tokoyami prepped Dark Shadow while [L/n] popped her fingers and knuckles, prepared to absolutely cripple some people.
That's when Bakugou did the unthinkable and separated himself from his horse, blasting his way towards Midoriya.
"Bakugou!" His team cried out. "You can't do that!"
But the boy was too filled with anger and rage towards the green haired boy. Dark Shadow did it's best, but his explosions light made the shadow useless.
Please don't blow me up. Acting without self preservation, the girl thrusted her arm up and gripped his thigh tightly, and in that moment, before Bakugou could grab any of his headbands, the boy just stopped.
His body was on the verge of hitting the ground, but as Sero's tape wrapped around him and pulled him back and atop the horse, the weren't disqualified.
But Bakugou was pissed. Because some new chic had made a fool of him.
"Kirishima." He spoke with malice.
"Uh, yes, Bakugou?" He asked with a tad bit of worry.
"Who is she?" He sounded calm, but the whole team could tell that there was an underlying anger.
"Bakugou, that's [L/n]. She's the new addition to Class 1-A." Iida informed.
"And she came in on recommendation." Sero added.
Bakugou didn't say a word, but his body was trembling with anger.
The Calvary Battle had ended, and the teams who made it to the final battles were Todoroki's, Bakugou's, Shinso's, and Midoriya's.
An intermission came up, allowing the students to relax and rest up. In that moment, [L/n] plopped face forwards on the ground. "No one listens when I say I'm far too lazy for this. I'm not a runner, I'm not anything." She whined.
"Oi!" A certain individual barked. "Stay outta my way, you got that!?" He didn't say anything else, he just walked away, not saying another word to anyone.
"Hey, I'm sorry about him." The redhead spoke up, offering his hand to the girl who could see nothing but the green grass beneath her. However, since this person's voice was nicer, she looked up and decided to actually grab his hand, being pulled to her feet.
"The name's Eijirou Kirishima, it's nice to meet you!" He grinned, shaking her hand.
"I'm sure someone's already told you, but I'm [F/n] [L/n], and it's nice to meet you too!" She smiled. "Oh and uh, sorry about your legs. You gotta do what you gotta do though, ya know?"
"It's no problem, well, we all better rest so I'm gonna go. Good luck with the battles!" And with that, they parted.
[L/n] however, plopped straight down on the ground once more and laid there. She was surprised however, when another presence laid down beside her, face first.
"Not gonna lie, you scare me." The boy admitted, the boy who she recognized to be Sero.
"I get that a lot." She replied. "It's kinda funny to me though, because the only thing scary about me is my Quirk."
"You got in this school by recommendation too, that's also another scary thing. I mean, Todoroki and Momo are crazy strong and they got in by recommendation too." He pointed out.
For some reason, the boy seemed easy to talk to, like he wasn't the kind to just mouth everyone's business and dish out judgement.
"I know I know, but getting in that way sucks, at least for me. Because the second everyone knows that's how I got in, their expectations for me are high. After all, getting in by recommendation is extremely hard, especially when you're not related to a Pro or rich." The girl sighed.
"Well hey, you live up to that expectation, and then some! So don't feel all down on yourself or anything, okay?" She could hear the grin in his voice, which made her smile.
"Yeah, I suppose you're right. But don't get your hopes up yet, there's still a lot to learn about me."
"And I look forward to it."
Then it was announced and the board was shown, so as Sero got up and offered his hand, the two looked at the bracket showing who would be fighting who, because [L/n] decided not to look at it before hand for some reason.
Or rather, she didn't feel like it.
"Oh shit." The girl became somewhat afraid, as her opponent was Katsuki Bakugou, the boy she already managed to have bad chemistry with.
While most made their way to the stands, [L/n] didn't, because unluckily for her, her fight with Bakugou was first, and even if she wouldn't admit it or show it, she was horrified.
"OHHH, WHAT'S THIS!? THE NEW KID, Shouta, what's her name? Oh, right, THE NEW THREAT, [L/N], WHO GOT IN BY RECOMMENDATION, WHO CAN STOP YOUR WHOLE EXISTENCE MERELY BY TOUCHING YOU, VERSUS, THE BOY WITH AN EXPLOSIVE TOUCH AND EXPLOSIVE ATTITUDE, BAKUGOU!" Yamada announced from the booth, Aizawa regretting everything as his eardrums were being busted.
Bakugou went in the ring, a blank look on his face as he stood there, his eyes analyzing the girl. [L/n] walked in and stood there, debating how to approach this. If she had looked beforehand, she might have been able to come up with a plan, but now her only option was to wing it.
"Hey uh, I guess we're about to get awful handsy with each other, eh?" Her joke was bad and she knew it, but humor was the only thing that could calm her nerves, and she certainly wasn't about to get it from him.
As the fight began, [L/n] crouched down low, her hands to her sides and fingers partially spread out. The boy however, didn't advance. It was as if he were waiting for her to make the first move.
In the moment her left leg made that slightest movement, a powerful explosion was sent in her direction and she barely managed to not exit the ring. She dashed inwards to stay further away, but he blasted her again. The process continued until she dropped low and rolled underneath the explosion, going to grab his leg, but he slammed his palm on her back and sent off another explosion.
She held back her screams, refusing to give in.
The crowd was slowly starting to boo, Yamada included. That was, until Aizawa pointed out something crucial.
"All of you should be ashamed of yourselves. Bakugou's doing what he's doing because [L/n]'s such a threat. You've watched as she steamrolled through opponents in the race merely by touching them. He's not giving her the chance to make her first move, because it would ultimately be her last, as well as his." The explanation made sense, and it blew people's minds.
He swiped one hand at her side, going to send off the crucial blow that would definitely send her out of the area, but she bent her leg back and swiped his ankles, causing the boy to stumble and blow just above her body.
The boy was face down, and she straddled him from behind and slammed her hand on his back, disabling his ability to move his legs, stopping his muscles from doing what they needed to do.
"I don't need my legs, damnit!" His voice bellowed, reaching his arm backwards and grabbing her waist and blowing her off, the girls body rolling across the ground brutally, the wound on her side far more detrimental than any onlooker would notice.
It took the boy a minute to stand up, his legs feeling all kinds of wrong, but the minute he did, he ran at her, prepping the blow that would end the battle.
"I'm not losing like this!" She screamed, pushing herself up quickly and managing to literally flip over his entire body.
As her body spun around, her hand gripped his neck tight, only problem was, he had done the same thing.
[L/n] could feel his palm getting hotter and hotter, and Bakugou could feel hers getting twitchier and twitchier.
"I don't know who the hell you think you are, coming in out of nowhere like this and taking people left and right, but I'm number one, and you will not get it my damn way!"
The series of events that took place in just a mere few seconds was horrifying and startling.
Bakugou's legs went weak, yet his grip was so strong that he pulled [L/n] down with him.
Then Bakugou's explosion went off, but in that exact same moment, she shut down his entire bodies functionality, leaving him with nothing but the ability to think and breathe.
So as [L/n]'s body was violently blasted out of the ring, her body slamming into the wall, neck and hip heavily and brutally damaged from Bakugou's explosions, Bakugou himself was unable to move.
He may have won the fight, but his entire body was unable to recuperate in time for him to even stand and claim his victory.
