Iida slid on the floor, dodging the piece of rubble launched in his direction by Uraraka. He rolled on the ground before quickly standing and activating his engines, boosting his speed and charging toward his opponent; however, a thick wall of rubble forced him to screech to a halt, stopping before he could crash through.
As soon as he stopped another piece of rock from the rubble flew out the wall and towards him, and at such a close range, the attack struck him at his torso and sent him sliding back, tripping on a large piece of the fallen roof and tumbling on the ground.
"Curses!!"
He exclaimed frustration present in his voice. He stood back up. However, this time, he didn't attack. Instead, he decided to think of another strategy.
The building they were using for the battlefield was a different one, All Might said it wasn't safe to use the same building twice so they changed it, however, it seems the Uraraka was smart enough to get some rubble from the other building into this one and had it act as her defense and now he can't get anywhere close to her.
"How am I supposed to get close and capture the bomb?!"
He asked himself, As the fastest member of his team, it was a no-brainer to have him be the one to capture the enemy bomb, however with such defenses it does not matter how fast he is if he can't get through
"Give it up, Iida. You can't win"
Uraraka shouted from behind her wall of rubble; however, despite the confidence in her voice, she wasn't sure how long she could keep up the defense. It had already been more than five minutes since the match began, and she was starting to feel a bit nauseous.
She was trying to mitigate her desire to puke by keeping her breathing steady and calm, not too large an inhale and not a too large exhale; otherwise, she'd vomit her whole breakfast.
"Ha! No way, I just have to figure out a way past your defense, and we win"
Iida announced; however, even though he said all that, he couldn't exactly phase through the wall of rubble; plus, its thickness made it difficult to burst through it while receiving damage. He did not doubt that Uraraka had another piece of rubble ready to attack the moment he went through.
While the other two were at a stalemate, their teammates were faring none better than them.
Tsuyu launched herself off the wall as a single pulse of Kyouka's heartbeat was channeled through her gloves and sent a concentrated sonic blast that collided with the inner wall of the room and created a hole the size of a person.
Landing on the ground, Tsuyu, using all her might, jumped towards her opponent, trying to get close; however, she was forced to use her tongue and push herself upward, dodging another sonic blast from Kyouka.
She landed on the roof and stood there on all fours whilst upside down.
'That support item is really turning her into a problem'
She thought, focusing on Kyouka's hands that wore white gloves with two small speakers on them. Last time, Kyouka could not properly use her quirk because it needed a support item. However, now that she has those items, it's difficult to deal with her.
The gloves also had dials that helped increase or reduce the volume of any sonic attack she wanted to send out, and right now, they were set at non-lethal levels.
Tsuyu prepared to dodge another sonic blast directed at her; however, Denki came to her rescue as he shot a bolt of lightning toward her. The young man had also gotten a support item that helped direct his ability towards his intended target.
Kyouka had gotten gloves while he got two stun guns that were modified and helped with directing his electricity.
The electricity crackled in the air as it moved towards its intended target, Kyouka. However, the girl was quick to get out of the way, easily rolling on the floor before directing an attack towards Denki.
With Kyouka's attention taken by Denki, this left an opening for Tsuyu to use her tongue to attack however Tsuyu was forced to jump off the roof, dodging a projectile that was thrown at her, said projectile collided with the roof and it was revealed to be a liquid-like substance that seemed to sizzle as it touched the wall.
Landing on the floor, Tsuyu found herself being tackled by Mina, driving her onto her back; the pink girl tried to restrain her, but Tsuyu used her legs to kick her on the abdomen and sent her flying back onto the wall of the room.
"This is getting us nowhere"
The frog girl commented as she rolled onto her feet and decided to take a moment to look at the battle; however, she was forced to duck under a bolt of lightning that went over her head, a missed shot from Denki.
"Hey be careful"
She warned before she chose to jump back, getting out of the way and giving herself distance from her enemy.
At her warning, Denki let out a hurried word of apology while being forced to dodge an attack from Kyouka by jumping to the side, letting the attack fly past him without receiving damage.
Tsuyu couldn't help but feel this. This was going nowhere, while Uraraka was defending against Iida, She and Denki were stuck in this room and were held back from finding the enemy Bomb
Her eyes darted towards the door, ready to vacate. However, Mina was quick to shut that idea down as she immediately took notice of the shift toward the door in Her eyes and quickly blocked the exit.
"Sorry, but you're going to have to stay a while; we're still having fun, aren't we?"
Mina expressed with a bright and toothy grin on her face. She was convinced that Iida's plan had worked wonderfully.
However, Tsuyu smiled before sprinting straight towards Mina at full speed, ducking under the stray sonic blasts that Kyouka was sending towards Denki.
The sudden full-throttle sprint of Tsuyu toward her direction surprised her for a split second, but she readied herself. She was confident that when it came down to it, she could pin Tsuyu down.
She took a stance that showed she was ready. However, once Tsuyu reached her, she suddenly leaped to her right, confusing Mina at first; however, turning her head, the pink girl realized that her opponent was going for the person-sized hole in the wall that Kyouka had created earlier.
Unfortunately, Mina was a bit too slow as Tsuyu easily reached her goal and jumped out of the room like the frog she was.
"Now I just have to find the bomb!"
She whispered to herself, ready to leap forward; unfortunately, just as she said that the alarm sounded, and All Might spoke through the speakers.
"And that's the Match, Team A.J.I wins!"
With that announcement, Mina cheered in elation at the announcement of her team winning
"Oh well"
Tsuyu shrugged, although she felt a bit disappointed, but the other team simply had the better strategy.
Back at the top floor, Iida rubbed Uraraka's back as she puked her entire breakfast.
"I guess… I couldn't last after all"
She said before she continued to let out her insides. Iida simply nodded. Although his team won, the fact they won only because the enemy succumbed to her weakness was disheartening.
"Can you stand?"
He asked after a few minutes, seeing that she was only dry heaving at this point.
"I think so, I'll need to brush my teeth and eat some mints after this"
She said while taking his hand and using him as a crutch to properly stand up.
...
A/N: a little short, but I really couldn't write a whole 2-3 chapter just for these two teams
