"So how's this going to work?" I asked, looking at All Might for answers.

"I will split you all into teams of two," All Might began. "One team will act as the villains and will hide the weapon somewhere inside the building, and the other team will have to either secure the weapon or capture the villains with this tape. The same goes for the villain team, you can capture the heroes by wrapping this tape around them. The battle ends when either side wins, or when time runs out."

"We have to pretend to be villains?" Tenya asked.

"Seems like it," I shrugged. "And I'm guessing we'll be split up randomly?"

"Correct!" All Might exclaimed.

I did not believe him one bit, but regardless, he began reading the teams off a piece of paper.

Team A consisted of Midoriya and Uraraka, team B was Icy-Hot and Octopussy, team C was Yaoyorozu (affectionately nicknamed Yaomomo) and I, team D was Tenya and that dick Bakugo, team E was Mina and the french guy Aoyama, team F was the really tall buff guy who I didn't really talk to and the quiet kid, Koda. Then there was team G, made up of Kaminari and Jiro, team H, Tokoyami and Tsu, Team I, Tail-Dude and Invisible-Chick, and lastly, team J, which was Mr. ELBOWS (yes, elbows in all caps), and Kirishima.

Those were our teams, and next, we were split into heroes and villains. I'll save the boring details for now, and just say that Yaomomo and I got placed against Kaminari and Jiro, with Yaomomo and I acting as the villains. But the first battle was team A versus team D, meaning it was Midoriya and Uraraka versus Tenya and Bakugo.

"Good luck," I sighed, giving Tenya a pat on the shoulder. "You'll have to work with Bakugo."

"I'll do my best..." Tenya replied, his expression grim.

I then walked over to Midoriya and Uraraka, placing a hand on each of their shoulders. "Good luck you guys, do your best."

"Team D, you can enter the building now!" All Might exclaimed. "Grab the weapon and protect it, the heroes will be coming after you in five minutes!"

"Good luck!" I exclaimed, waving to Tenya as he and Bakugo entered the building.

"Young Midoriya, young Uraraka," All Might said. "You two wait out here, I'll tell you when you may enter through these earpieces, the rest of us are going to watch from the basement."

Then All Might led us into the building, bringing us to a staircase going down into a basement.

"Does anyone else find the fact that we're being led into a dark basement creepy?" The pink girl Mina asked.

"I don't know about you guys but I kinda like the dark." I shrugged.

The bird-headed kid Tokoyami nodded in agreement.

"Chill out Edge Lords..." Sero mumbled.

All Might chuckled from in front of us, stopping before two large sliding doors. "Here's where we will watch."

The metal doors slid apart, revealing a large (mostly empty room), a giant screen, and a control panel against one wall. A short old woman sat in front of the screen, turning in her chair when she heard us enter. My memory reminded me that she's Recovery Girl, the school's nurse.

"That's a big screen!" Kaminari whistled.

"Way to state the obvious..." Jiro sighed.

"Dumbass..." I mumbled.

All Might cleared his throat, bringing a small microphone to his mouth. The screen changed views to show Tenya and Bakugo, standing in front of a fake weapon, at least six or seven feet between them.

"Villian team," All Might's voice boomed. "Are you ready?"

"I was ready ages ago!" Bakugo roared through his earpiece. "Let's get this over with!"

Tenya glared at Bakugo, crossing his arms. "We are ready."

The screen changed again, this time showing Midoriya and Uraraka standing outside. 

"Hero team," All Might said, his voice softening minutely. "Are you ready?"

Uraraka held her fist out to Midoriya and he quickly held out his own, bumping their knuckles together.

"Yeah!" They exclaimed in unison.

"Then you may begin!" All Might exclaimed.

The two 'heroes' ran into the building just as the timer in the corner of the screen began counting down, signaling that their test had begun. The screen then split into two, one side showing Midoriya and Uraraka, and the other showing Bakugo and Tenya. Not long after they received the signal to start, Bakugo began walking off, turning around to yell something at Tenya.

"Looks, like Bakugo is going off alone," Kirishima sighed. "I feel kind of bad for his teammate."

"Too bad we can't hear what they're saying," Tsu croaked. "Iida is wearing a mask, so I can't read his lips, and Bakugo is moving too much, ribbit."

"Do you need to hear what they're saying?" I sighed. "It's pretty obvious how their conversation is going."

"How?" Sero, asked.

I put on my best scowl, hunching myself over and messing up my hair. "I'll do what I want! Die! I'm going to go and fight them myself! Watch the weapon you damn nerd! I have to go beat up the other nerds! I'll annihilate them!"

"Was that your Bakugo impression?" Kaminari asked.

"Yeah," I nodded, attempting to smooth my hair out again. "How was it?"

"Hella accurate," Sero grinned. "I give it a nine out of ten."

"Only nine?" I said.

"You needed to scream die more," Kirishima chuckled. "And you didn't scream 'Deku' once."

I laughed. "True, it looks like my impression was a little off."

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned, locking eyes with Yaoyorozu. 

"Um, Tsujihara," She began, looking a little unsure. "I was wondering if you maybe wanted to strategize a bit with me, you know, talk about our quirks and make a plan."

"That's a good idea," I grinned. "You're pretty smart Yaoyorozu, you got into U.A based on recommendation, right?"

"Yeah I did," Yaoyorozu said, her cheeks flushing. "And you can call me Momo, or Yaomomo if you like."

"Cool," I replied. "Please call me Tora, or Jiji if you like, I'm not all that fond of my last name."

Yaomomo looked curious, however, she didn't ask, she simply nodded her head.

"Let's go to the side then and talk strategy," Yaomomo said. "I saw you use your quirk during Mr. Aizawa's tests, but I'd like to learn more about it."

"Sure," I shrugged. "Let's go."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, you can create pretty much any inorganic thing?" I asked Yaomomo.

"Yes, that's correct," Yaomomo nodded. "As long as I have a general idea of how it's made and what it's made of. But bigger and more complex things take me more time to create, and since my quirk uses the fats in my body, I can't use my quirk too much without eating more food."

"That's convenient," I grinned. "My quirk allows me to manipulate any metal, as long as I am touching it. I can take one metal thing and turn it into another, granted complex metal objects take longer to make. For example, I can make a pole or knife with relative ease but making a sword, gun, or something with a lot of parts would take more time."

"Huh, our quirks really do work together well," Yaomomo chuckled. "If you need more metal, I can always make some, and if I don't have to think too much about the kind of metal or make a specific object, I can make sheets of metal quickly."

"That's awesome!" I exclaimed. "I bet you could even make ammunition for weapons! Then I wouldn't have to spend so much time making stuff!"

"But there's one huge flaw to your quirk..." Yaomomo said, making me stop my celebration.

"What is it?" I asked, tilting my head.

"We're up against Jiro and Kaminari," Yaomomo sighed. "Kaminari uses electricity to attack, and metal happens to be a really good conductor of electricity. If you were to get hit, or even have your weapon touched, he could knock you out."

"I do have an idea on how to at least partially stop his electricity, but you will probably still get shocked at least a little," Yaomomo said, her expression apologetic. "Sorry."

"Don't apologize," I shook my head. "I'm sure your plan will work fine, lay it on me."

"Okay," Yaomomo nodded. "Here's the plan..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Long story incredibly short, Midoriya and Uraraka won as Uraraka managed to get the weapon from Tenya while Bakugo and Midoriya fought. Midoriya suffered a broken arm, but besides that, there were no serious injuries. The building probably suffered the most damage, and All Might moved us to another building so we could continue. 

"Sorry you didn't win Tenya," I sighed, giving my much taller friend a pat on the back. "But seeing Bakugo so angry that Midoriya wins makes me feel kind of smug."

"Uraraka was also quite impressive," Tenya said. "She used her quirk well once Midoriya broke the floor and ceiling." 

I glanced over to where All Might was carrying Midoriya to Recovery Girl and sighed, my eyes landing on his recently re-broken arm. 

"Man, why do I have the feeling Midoriya and Recovery Girl are going to be getting real chummy?" I sighed.

Tenya chuckled. "Hopefully he learns to control his quirk better soon, then he won't break his bones every time." 

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I glanced back.

"Um, Tora?" Yaomomo mumbled. "Do you think we could talk a bit more before we have to start our match?"

"Yeah sure," I nodded. "I'll be there in a second."

Yaomomo smiled before walking away, leaving me alone with Tenya.

"I won't keep you any longer," Tenya said, smiling at me. "Good luck, I'll be rooting for you two."

"Rooting for villains?" I chuckled. "What's gotten into you?"

Tenya rolled his eyes. "You know that's not what I meant! I would never root for evil! Villainy will not be tolerated!"

"I'm just teasing," I laughed. "See you later."

Tenya nodded and I made my way over to Yaomomo.

I can't wait for our match, it's been a while since I've been able to really let loose...
