Chapter 17 - Cavalry Battle
Izuku pov:
(Y/N) was holding me close and was growling at anyone who even looked at me. I tried to calm him down with treats, but I guess being in a crowd of people has him agitated. Needless to say everyone backed away frightened by his protective behavior.
Midnight: Now then, I will explain the rules of the calvary battle. The time limit is fifteen minutes. Each team is worth the total of it's members' points, and the riders will wear a headband with that number on their foreheads. Teams will try to grab each other's headbands until time runs out, and try to keep as many points as they can. Stolen headbands must be worn from the neck up. So the more you steal, the harder it'll be to manage them! And the most important thing is that even if your headband gets stolen, or if your team falls, you're not out!
Everyone began to talk amongst themselves about the information they just received. I looked up at (Y/N) causing him to look down at me before tilting his head and smiling.
Izuku: What do you think about the upcoming event?
(Y/N): You've done amazing so far, Izuku. I have no doubt you will come in first again.
I smiled up at him just as Midnight continued to explain the rules of the event.
Midnight: During the game, it'll be a cruel fight where you can use your Quirks. But it is still a calvary battle. You'll get a red card for attacks that are trying to make people fall on purpose! You'll be removed immediately!
(Y/N) groaned before laying his chin on my head, seemingly upset he won't be able to knock down the other students. I just lifted my hand up and rubbed his head causing him to release a purr and his tail to wag.
Midnight: Now, you have fifteen minutes to build your teams. Start!
(Y/N) pov:
Team? I highly doubt anyone would want to work alongside us, either because my king has a huge target on his head, or they fear me.
My king went into deep thought, more than likely thinking up a strategy, so as to entertain myself I observed the humans. Some of our classmates were trying to convince the explosive human to join their team. A few humans even approached me, but I just growled at them causing them to run away in fear.
Foolish humans, my loyalty will always lie with Izuku.
My king seemed to be done thinking as he tapped my arm to get my attention. I let go of him allowing him to turn around and face me.
Izuku: C'mon, we have to find some teammates before the fifteen minutes are up.
But with me on your side, you won't need any other help.
He began to walk off so I quickly followed behind him while keeping an eye out for any foes. Izuku soon approached the human with a tail.
Izuku: Um, Ojiro...?
He turned and began to walk away while using his tail to cover his face.
Mashirao: Sorry...
This action enraged me as I began to growl before walking towards him.
How dare you ignore my king?! I will cut off your tail and hang you with it!
Izuku quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me back, preventing me from going after and mutilating the human.
Izuku: Calm down, we can just find someone else.
Ochaco: Deku! (Y/N)!
We both turned to the sound of the kind human's voice. She came running up to us with a smile on her face. I sat down next to Izuku as Uraraka stopped in front of us.
Ochaco: Let's be a team!
That sentence made my king let out large amounts of tears coating both me and Uraraka in water.
Izuku: Uraraka! I-Is it really okay? Everyone'll probably be after me because of my ten million points!
I don't think humans are meant to release this much liquid.
Due to the tears drenching me my (h/c) hair fell down covering my eyes.
Ochaco: If we run away the whole time, then you'll win, right?
The shower of tears stopped as I tried to shake the water off.
Izuku: I-I think you're overestimating me, Uraraka...
Ochaco: Like I would! Besides we have (Y/N) and with him on our side we can't lose.
They both turned in my direction only to see me shaking the water off like a dog. Izuku and Ochaco approached me and moved my (h/c) hair out of my eyes allowing me to see their smiling faces. I gave them a smile of my own before standing up and shaking my head to rid my hair of the water.
Ochaco: Anyway, it's better to team up with people you get along with!
My king then made a strange face as red dusted his cheeks.
Ochaco: What's the matter? You look ugly, you know.
I pulled Izuku into a hug as I glared and hissed at Uraraka.
That is the second time you called my king ugly! He is the most adorable human on this planet, second to none!
She slighty flinched at my aggressive behavior before pulling out a chocolate chip cookie. My tail betrayed my will as it began to rapidly wag from the mere sight of the treat. I let go of Izuku before slowly crouching down my eyes not leaving the cookie.
Ochaco: Here you go!
She tossed it toward me allowing me to leap forward and catch the treat before eating it in one bite. I went back to Izuku's side now content due to the snack.
I guess I can forgive you this time for that insult. But next time it'll take a lot more than one snack to win my forgiveness.
My king finally dried his eyes before turning back to Uraraka.
Izuku: Actually, I wanted to team up with you, too. Thanks! For teams, it's best to be with people you can communicate with smoothly, right?
Ochaco: Yup, yup!
Izuku: Actually, with your Quirk and one other person... I thought of a plan!
He turned in the direction of the fast human who had his back turned to us. We quickly made our way up to him with Izuku in front leading us and me in the back.
Izuku: Iida.
He turned around just as Izuku and Ochaco gave him an adorable look of determination.
- .. -- . / ... -.- .. .--.
My king was now explaining his plan for the upcoming event. I was lying on the ground to the left of Izuku with Ochaco rubbing my head as she paid attention to the explanation.
Izuku: The three of us would be horses with Iida in the front! And then, if we use Uraraka's Quirk to make Iida and me lighter, we'd be able to maneuver easily.
Ochaco: I see!
Izuku: It's better to have someone physically strong as the rider, I was thinking (Y/N) could be the rider, but he might run after the other contestants... Anyway, this is all I could think of to keep running away until the end...
Tenya: I expected no less, Midoriya... But I am afraid I have to refuse.
Both Izuku and Ochaco gasped as I looked up at Iida.
Tenya: Ever since the entrance exam, I just keep losing to you and (Y/N). You are a wonderful friend, but that's why, if I just keep following you, I will never grow. Bakugo and Todoroki aren't the only ones who see you as a rival.
I got up just as he began to walk away. Izuku held his arm out in front of me to make sure I didn't go after him.
Tenya: I will challenge you.
Then you will fall like all the others who challenged my king.
Ochaco: Iida...
Everyone was looking right at Izuku making their intentions clear to me. I placed my hands on his shoulders and growled at the humans showing they would need to deal with me if they wanted to get to him. My aggressive display worked in deterring the majority of the humans, all except two.
The candy cane and explosive human glared at me which I gladly returned. We soon heard a strange noise behind us which caused us to turn around. A human with pink hair was hovering toward us wearing strange shoes.
???: As I thought, this is great. You stand out! Team up with me, person in first place!
She quickly launched forward stopping right in front of my king's face causing me to growl at the unknown human.
Izuku: Ahh, so close! Who're you?!
Mei: I am Mei Hatsume, from the support course!
She removed her goggles just as Ochaco seemed to remember her.
Ochaco: Oh, that weird person from back then.
Mei: I don't know you, but let me use your position!
Izuku: She's honest!
Mei: If I team up with you then I'll inevitably become part of the team everyone's watching most, right? If that happens, then my super cute babies will inevitably be seen by the big companies.
She began to get even closer causing my growls to become louder as my tail curled in preparation to strike. Izuku and Ochaco began to glance at me while trying to pay attention to what the pink haired human was saying.
Mei: That means, in other words, that those big companies will see my babies!
Ochaco: W-Wait a minute. Babies and big companies? What are you--
Mei: --And I think you guys will also benefit.
Uraraka went completely ignored by the pink haired human as she continued to speak with my king.
Mei: The support course develops equipment that helps heroes deal with their Quirks. I have a ton of babies, so I'm sure you'll be able to find one that you like! Oh, has this one caught your eye?
I sat down seeing as she really wasn't a threat more so just an annoying presence. She was soon holding up a strange metal backpack.
Mei: I made this based on a certain hero's backpack, adding my own original twist to it.
My king immediately knew who she was talking about.
Izuku: Could you be talking about the Buster Hero, Air Jet?
I remember that human, we went inside a gaint building Izuku told me was his agency. I destroyed nearly the entire building, but luckily we left before they could find me. Good times.
They both began to excitedly talk with each other while I just sat there observing my surroundings. My eyes eventually landed on Ochaco who seemed lonely, so I got up and made my way to her.
Her smile returned when she saw me approaching.
Ochaco: Hey (Y/N).
(Y/N): Hello Uraraka.
I sat down at her feet as we both looked at Izuku and Mei who were still speaking happily. It seems he didn't even notice me leave.
Ochaco: They seem to be getting along well, huh?
(Y/N): Yes, I'm glad Izuku has found a potential friend.
A silence fell over us for a few seconds before Uraraka asked me a question.
Ochaco: I've been meaning to ask, can you speak?
(Y/N): I only tried a few times and every single time my throat hurt afterwards.
Ochaco: Hmm, maybe you just need to speak more frequently to get your throat used to speaking.
She began to pet my head which caused me to release a purr as my tail began to wag. She whispered to herself but I could heard her clearly.
Ochaco: You really are a giant puppy.
That is an insult to my pride as a warrior, but these head pats feel nice so I'll let it slide.
I could feel someone watching us so I opened my eyes and looked around. Turns out it was the same blond human from the cafeteria. He noticed me staring back at him which caused him to give me an evil smirk before walking away.
I've made many enemies haven't I? I need to keep an eye on that human. Who knows what he'll do when we aren't looking.
Izuku: (Y/N)!
I perked up at the call of my name and turned in my king's direction. He slightly crouched down before tapping his knees signaling me to go to him. I immediately ran to him on all fours in order to go faster.
I skidded to a stop at his feet making sure not to kick up any dirt in his direction. He smiled at me before patting my head.
Izuku: I'm going to run you through the plan, okay?
I nodded making sure to follow my king's plan to the letter.
- .. -- . / ... -.- .. .--.
The clock went to zero causing a loud alarm to sound before it went silent.
Midnight: Now then, it's about time to get started!
Present Mic: After fifteen minutes to form teams and talk strategy, twelve cavalry teams are lined up on the field!
Izuku was on my back with Mei on our right and Ochaco on our left.
Present Mic: Now, raise those battle cries! It's time for U.A.'s bloody battle!
My king finished tying his headband before lowering his head to my ear and whispering.
Izuku: Please don't be too aggressive we don't want you to actually k-kill anyone.
I sighed, annoyed I won't be allowed to rip apart any humans.
(Y/N): ...Fine.
That answer seemed to satisfy him as he said a quick thank you before he got ready for the event to begin.
Present Mic: Light the signal fire!
Izuku: Uraraka.
Ochaco: Yes!
Izuku: Hatsume.
She looked up at him before giggling seemingly excited for what's to come.
Izuku: (Y/N).
(Y/N): *Hiss*
Izuku: I'm counting on you!
The crowd of humans began to cheer loudly as I scanned the seats, until my eyes landed on a human with fire on his face. He was staring at me with a glare which reminded me of the candy cane human. I just turned my attention back to the task at hand.
Present Mic: All right! You've made your teams, right? I'm not gonna ask if you're ready or not! Now, let's go! Counting down to the brutal battle royal!
My tail wrapped around Izuku for more security as I let out low growls.
Present Mic: Three!
These humans are aiming for one thing.
Present Mic: Two!
My king. And as his loyal protector I must defend him.
Present Mic: One!
At all costs.
Midnight: Start!
Immediately all teams came rushing toward us. I began to store up acid in my mouth in order to cover a larger area.
Ochaco: What do we do?
Izuku: Of course, our move is to run away!
Tactically retreating, absolutely genius!
Before we could move the ground beneath us became softer and soon we were sinking. The other teams began to close in, so I prepared to spit out the acid I was storing up in order to delay them, at least long enough for us to escape.
Ochaco: It's no good... I can't get out!
I launched the wave of acid toward the other teams successfully coating nearly the entire area in front of us.
???: Look out!
They all scattered in order to avoid certain death. Luckily for them they managed to flee in time. The area my acid landed on began to sizzle as it was quickly melted away.
Izuku: Uraraka! Hatsume! Turn your faces away!
They did as told just as Izuku pressed a button causing his jetpack to activate. Soon we were lifted out the ground before we went soaring in the air.
This brings back memories of me jumping through space with my siblings.
Tetsutetsu: Follow them!
Toru: Jiro!
Kyoka: I know!
I quickly unwrapped my tail from Izuku and smacked away Jiro's earphone jacks.
Izuku: Nice job, (Y/N)!
I let out a happy hiss as my tail wagged in the air.
Ochaco: We're landing.
She used her shoes to slow our descent until we landed safely on the ground. We continued running now with some distance between us and the other teams.
Mei: What do you think of my babies? Aren't they cute? Cuteness can be made, you know.
Your obsession with your machines is kind of concerning, human.
Izuku: Excellent mobility! The babies are amazing, Hatsume!
Mei: Right?
Ochaco: It's because I'm making them float...
Present Mic: Now then, even though barely two minutes have passed since we've started, it's already turned into a free-for-all! Fights over the headbands breaking out all over! Ignoring the ten million points and going for second to fourth places isn't bad, either.
While we were running a loud laugh made us stop. It was the grape human, but all we saw was the human with many arms running at us.
Minoru: Fighting? No, this is a one-sided pillage!
Izuku: Shoji? What? By himself? But it's a team battle!
I sniffed the air catching not only the scent of Tsu and the grape human coming from Shoji, but also multiple unknown scents in front of us.
If they catch us in a pincer they might have a chance of coming close to Izuku. But I won't give them that chance.
(Y/N): Izuku, we are about to be surrounded by multiple enemies. Your orders?
Izuku: Let's run before they catch up to us!
Following his order we tried to run but Uraraka's left foot seemed to be stuck to the ground.
Ochaco: What?
Izuku: What's wrong, Uraraka?
Ochaco: I'm stuck!
A purple ball was keeping her foot anchored to the ground.
Izuku: That's Mineta's... Where'd it come from?
He began to look around as I looked right in between the space of Shoji's arms. I could see both Tsu and the grape human looking out at us from the safety of their human shield.
Minoru: From here... Midoriya...
My king looked where the voice came from and finally saw the small human who was waving at him.
Izuku: What? Is that allowed?
Midnight: It is!
I must applaud my enemy's creativity, but that won't protect them from me.
The small human retreated back as a tounge came shooting out towards my king. I quickly used my tail to lower his head causing Tsu to miss. Her tounge retreated back as I prepared to defend us.
Tsuyu: I didn't expect any less from you two.
Izuku: Asui, too? That's amazing, Shoji!
Tsuyu: Call me Tsu!
A barrage of purple balls followed by Tsu's tounge came at us. I used my tail to block the projectiles while I smacked away Tsu's tounge.
Present Mic: Team Mineta makes use of the overwhelming difference in their sizes! They're like a tank! Team Midoriya's defense is holding strong, but how long can they keep up?
Not long if we don't escape or counter-attack.
(Y/N): My king we need to leave, quickly!
Izuku quickly activated his jetpack, but since Uraraka's foot was still stuck when we launched into the air her shoe was destroyed.
Mei: My baby was torn apart!
Izuku: Sorry! But we got away!
While we were soaring through the air the explosive human quickly made his way up to us, using his explosions to propel himself.
Izuku: Kacchan!
Katsuki: Don't get carried away!
He reached out to shoot an explosion at Izuku, but I turned us all around just in time for me to take the full force of the explosion instead.
I stared the explosive human in the eyes as the smoke cleared. Since my hands were holding Izuku I couldn't truly retaliate, so I just smacked him away with my tail.
Izuku: (Y/N), are you alright?
(Y/N): I recieved worse injuries.
Our landing was a little rougher due to Uraraka's left shoe being broken.
Izuku: Thanks, Uraraka!
Ochaco: It's hard to control with just one foot.
Izuku: Yeah, I know.
Present Mic: As expected, everyone's after the first place team, and Class A is in hot pursuit! Everyone's got skills! Now, let's take a look at each team's points... It's been seven minutes! Here are the current rankings up on the screen!
I took a quick look at the screen only to see something strange. Our team was the only one from Class A with points.
Present Mic: What? Wait a minute! Other than Midoriya, Class A isn't doing so well...
What truly surprised me was that even the explosive human lost his headband.
Present Mic: What? Bakugo?
Neito: Class A is too simple-minded.
I looked behind us and saw the blond human taking Bakugo's headband. He also had several headbands around his neck.
So that's what his plan was. Go for the other's headbands while they were distracted by us. He is a smart one, perhaps consuming his brain will benefit me.
Katsuki: What'd you say, bastard? Give that back! I'll kill you!
Neito: Since Midnight said it was the first game, it wouldn't make sense for them to cut a ton of people in the qualifier, right? Assuming they'd keep about forty people for the next stage, we just made sure we stayed within that number as we ran, observing from the back the Quirks and personalities of those who would be our rivals.
This is why I leave the thinking to Izuku. I'm more of a kill first think later kind of alien.
Neito: There's no point in being obsessive over winning in the prelims, right?
Katsuki: You did this as a class?
The blond human began tying the headband to his neck as he answered Bakugo.
Neito: Well, it wasn't a consensus but it was a good idea, right? It's better than going after a temporary "top" like a horse with a carrot waving in front of its face. Oh, while I'm at it, you're famous, aren't you? As the victim of the sludge incident!
I could sense the rapidly increasing aggression of the explosive human the longer he listened.
Neito: Tell me about it sometime-- About how it feels to be attacked by villains once a year.
I've attacked him nearly every day since I met him. And I wouldn't mind switching my attention to you for a while.
Katsuki: Kirishima... change of plan...
Anger and rage was now radiating off him as he told his team the new plan.
Katsuki: Before we get Deku, let's kill all these guys!
Izuku: Everyone, it'll be easier to run aw--
I skidded to a stop causing everyone to stumble into my back. I began growling at the enemy team in front of us as everyone regained their balance.
Izuku: (Y/N), what's wrong--
He cut himself off as he looked up allowing him to see the candy cane human glaring at me.
Present Mic: Less than half the time is left now!
Izuku: It won't be that easy, huh?
Apparently not.
Present Mic: The calvary battle is about to enter the second half! In this unexpected rise of Class B, who will wear the ten million points in the end?!
The candy cane switched his glare from me to Izuku causing me to get more agitated.
Shoto: I'll be taking that now.
I'll snap your arm off if you try.
I gently wrapped my tail around everyone and began to slowly lift them up. Uraraka and Hatsume grabbed onto my tail to stabilize themselves while Izuku held my shoulders.
(Y/N): Izuku, could you remove my collar, please?
Izuku: Why?
(Y/N): I don't want to accidentally break something precious you gave me.
A small smile formed on his face when I said that as he removed my collar and held on to it. I began to transform back into my ravager form causing the candy cane's team to back up out of fear. In only a few seconds the process was complete.
Present Mic: (Y/N) has transformed once more! He seems determined to lead his team to victory!
This is not my team, it's Izuku's.
I rose up and let out a loud roar as Uraraka and Hatsume grabbed onto my spikes to keep themselves from falling. As for Izuku he stood on my right shoulder using his left hand to hold onto my neck.
My roar caused many teams to either stop and watch or freeze up while a few went back to battling each other. The candy cane's fearful expression soon turned into one of determination as he glared up at us.
You didn't think this would be easy, right candy cane?
