"So, you're fine with having one of us on offence and one on defence?" Yaomomo asked me, glancing at the fake bomb. 

"Yeah," I nodded. "I know that'll put us at the disadvantage, but I think this may be our best chance."

"Alright, then shall we begin the plan?" Yaomomo asked.

"I'm ready when you are..." I replied idly, shrugging.

Then she began making things. I politely looked away as she opened her shirt wider, a bright light helping to obstruct my view. She made a sheet of metal and passed it to me, returning to making more.

"Can you make a blow gun?" Yaomomo asked, her brow creasing in concentration. 

"Yeah, I can," I replied. "Should be easy enough."

"It doesn't need to be perfect, just make one quickly," She said. "I'm going to make the sedative darts, but it's going to take me some time, so in the meantime, keep an ear out for the other team."

"Sure thing," I nodded, walking to a window. "I think they're about to enter the building. I'll make sure I'm quiet once they enter, I know Jiro's quirk lets her hear quiet sounds."

"Here," Yaomomo whispered, handing me a small object. "It's an earpiece, only I will be able to hear you through this."

"Alright," I replied, slipping the earpiece into my right ear. "I'm going to focus on making the blow gun, you focus on those darts."

Yaomomo nodded and sat down, her hands glowing as she began making something again. I placed my hands on the metal sheet, bending and twisting it into a smaller shape until I was happy with the small metal tube, one end having a smaller hole so the dart wouldn't slip out the end you're supposed to blow through. 

"I've finished the darts," Yaomomo said, slightly out of breath. "Bring me the blow gun so I can make sure that the pieces fit together."

"I can adjust the size of the blow gun if they don't fit," I said. "It's easier than making new darts."

Yaomomo checked how the pieces fit together, and after only a few minutes of adjustments, she determined that the blow gun and darts would be fit to use.

"What kind of soles do your shoes have?" Yaomomo asked.

"They're some kind of metal," I replied, looking down at my feet for a moment. "Why?"

"Those won't help if Kaminari uses his electricity," Yaomomo answered me. "Wait a second."

Yaomomo's stomach glowed for a moment before she showed me what she had made. She handed me two rubber shoe covers.

"Put these over your shoes," She told me, then she explained why I needed them. "They will hopefully help lessen the damage from Kaminari's attacks."

"Ah, I get it," I said. "All I need now is a weapon and I can go confront them, thankfully I still have some of that metal you gave me."

Using my quirk, I bent and stretched the remainder of the metal Yaomomo had made until I had a long pole. It would be the perfect weapon for keeping distance, granted a little difficult to use in this building's cramped hallways.

I checked over the pole I made and grinned, spinning it around in front of me. "This should be perfect."

I loaded a dart into the blow gun and put it in my belt, putting the spare darts into a different pouch around my torso. I turned to Yaomomo and grinned.

"Wish me luck," I chirped, giving her a peace sign. "I'll leave protecting the weapon to you."

And with that, I left the room in search of Kaminari and Jiro.

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

"You hear anything yet?" Kaminari asked, leaning on a wall.

"I can hear faint footsteps," Jiro replied. "Someone is heading our way."

Kaminari's palms sparked and a grin stretched across his face. "How close are they? And is it just one?"

"It sounds like just one person's footsteps," Jiro answered. "They're coming down the staircase ahead of us, to the right."

"Alright!" Kaminari exclaimed, running towards the staircase. "I'll go zap them!"

"Kaminari wait-!" Jiro yelled after her teammate watching as he rounded the corner.

Jiro ran to catch up with him, however, she was quick to jump away when Kaminari was shoved backward by a long metal pole. A dull thud rang out as Kaminari hit the ground, groaning while clutching his stomach.

"You shall not pass!" I boomed, slamming my staff into the ground. "Damn, I've always wanted to say that."

"What the hell?!" Kaminari whined. "That hurt."

"Sorry not sorry," I shrugged, taking a wide stance with my pole held out in front of me. "I have to keep you at a distance."

Jiro clenched her teeth, her earphone jacks slithering down to her boots and connecting with a click.

I was quick to back away, my ears tingling from the soundwaves being sent toward me. Even when Jiro stopped her attack I found myself a bit dizzy, and Kaminari took that opportunity to attack. He ran at me, electricity sparking in his palms. I dodged his frontal assault, however, I couldn't stop his hand from lightly touching my arm. The metal of my hero costume didn't help much, making it easier for the electricity to jump up my arm before it could vanish. I experimentally flexed my arm, finding the damage to be very minimal. 

Kaminari stumbled, but his brain didn't appear to be fried yet. I pulled the blow gun from my belt, putting distance between my opponents and me.

"What is that?!" Kaminari exclaimed.

I smirked, holding the metal tube near my mouth. "Let's just say you don't want to get hit with it, surrender while you can."

"No way!" Jiro exclaimed sending an even louder attack my way.

I jumped back, placing my palms on a nearby wall. I breathed a short sigh of relief upon discovering the walls were made of metal. Using my quirk, I blocked their path and made another wall, muffling the sound waves a little bit. I still felt the vibrations, but not as much. 

"How's it going?" Yaomomo asked from the earpiece.

"Not that great," I sighed. "Kaminari hasn't fried his brain yet and Jiro's sound attacks are a real issue."

"Lead them this way," Yaomomo said. "We can fight them together, I'll relocate the weapon."

"You sure?" I asked, feeling unsure.

"Yeah," She assured me, her voice calm despite the stressful situation. "I'll start making some more stuff to help us."

Jiro's sound attack finally ceased and I lowered my wall, stepping back. Kaminari raced after me, his hands sparking again. I pushed him back with my staff, receiving a little shock, but nothing too bad. I turned on my heel and ran, glancing behind me to make sure they were following. I ducked into the staircase, taking the stairs two at a time, making it look like I was trying to lose them. While dashing up the stairs I was sure to keep tabs on how fast I was going, making sure that they didn't lose sight of me, but I was still far ahead of them. However, Kaminari and Jiro proved to be faster than I expected. I fumbled to pull the blow gun from around my waist and briefly glanced behind me, aiming a shot at Kaminari. The dart was shot out of the tube quickly, but unfortunately it just barely whizzed past him.

"Well shit," I grumbled. "No time to reload."

"That's okay," Yaomomo said through my earpiece. "I'm ready here, lead them to where we originally had the weapon."

I didn't verbally reply because I didn't want Kaminari or Jiro to know something was up, so I hoped Yaomomo knew I got the message.

"Would you quit running!?" Kaminari yelled at me.

"Well, I'm not just going to let you catch me!" I barked, finally reaching the top of the stairs.

I rounded the corner sharply, glancing over my shoulder to see that they were right behind me. The room was just at the end of the hall now. I only had to make it there. I slowed down for a moment and Kaminari's hand brushed my back, sending a jolt of electricity up my spine as I grabbed onto the doorframe and swung myself inside.

"DUCK!" Yaomomo screamed.

For Kaminari it was already too late, and Jiro had tried to turn back, but the both of them had already walked right into Yaomomo's trap.

I ducked just as something fired from a canon and flew over my head, wrapping Jiro and Kaminari in a net. The two of them clawed at the net to no avail, frantically flailing around as they tangled themselves up further.

Kaminari sparked, but Jiro was quick to shove one of her ear jacks in his skull, making him stop immediately.

"You'll shock me too you idiot!" She screamed at her partner.

Kaminari whined in pain.

Yoamomo handed me a roll of tape and I walked over to our prisoners, wrapping them in the tape once. I offered Yaomomo my fist, giving her a smirk.

"That was awesome," I said. "Good job."

"It was nothing," Yaomomo bashfully replied, returning my fist bump. "You did most of the fighting."

"This may sound weird coming from me," I sighed. "But being a hero doesn't have to mean you're good at fighting. Plenty of heroes have quirks that aren't suited for fighting, and others are just better at combat than others. I'm not actually good at fighting, I just use underhanded tactics and I'm good at running."

All Might's booming voice ended our little chat. "The villain team wins! Well done everyone!"

A/N

I hope you all enjoyed the chapter! I had this one already done a while back, but I was saving publishing it for when I wasn't writing that way you guys would have at least something! I'm not going on hiatus again, but all my updates are going to be super slow for a while. Thanks for your understanding!
