Water? Vines?

~O~

Before hitting the ground , Bakugou landed on something comparatively softer.

Kendo's big fists.

"Bakugou!!" Kirishima yelled as he came running towards the said boy and Kendo. Meanwhile, Kamakiri was seen helping Uraraka and Asui to stand up on the other side.

Total Villains left to fight in the area were Yaoyorozu, Shoji, Yanagi and Tsuburaba. The Heroes stood together against the four villains, ready to take them out.

~O~

Somewhere in the eastern corner of Ground Beta, where there was a system of underpasses and flyovers, some Heroes were seen wandering in search of the Villain Team's members as they were aware that their third objective lied there somewhere.

This group of Heroes consisted of Todoroki, Ojiro, Tsunotori and Bondo. As they were moving around Tsunotori sensed something coming towards them and alerted her teammates. As the rest of them heard her cry, Todoroki made an ice floor underneath the other three and elevated them upward to the point of reaching a flyover safely while a sudden attack of long green vines was seen passing by the giant ice block.

"Todoroki!?" Ojiro called from above as the three of them managed to get on the flyover road.

"I'll be fine! Stop them from reaching their objective!" Todoroki exclaimed in reply as he placed his right foot forward for another ice attack as the same time Shiozaki was seen on the opposite side of him, ready for another attack. Ojiro nodded and the three of them began searching for the third objective of the Villain Team. The Heroes weren't specifically informed where these objectives were exactly located at, they were just given the overall area in which it could be found.

Shiozaki, without a word, attacked Todoroki with the green vines which Todoroki countered with an ice attack. Todoroki's ice did stopped the vines, but the vines were also powerful as well as some of them passed through the ice, piercing it a little. Todoroki took a deep breathe before going all out and attacking Shiozaki with a huge ice berg, one that resembled the one he used in the Sports Festival while fighting against Sero.

'I'm sorry but I can't hold back in this war. I can't let you win.' Todoroki thought as he attacked her.

This one Shiozaki couldn't counter so instead she made a thick wall with her vines to defend herself but the ice tore through it reaching the girl who was thrown backwards into a wall with a loud crashing sound. Shiozaki groaned as she trembled in the cold ice. But then her head was still free and away from the ice. So she was free to attack again and she did. But this time a little different...

~O~

Kamakiri made two sharp blades emerge from the middle of his forearms as Bakugou readied his explosions and propelled himself toward the Villains as the other Heroes followed him. The Villains, however, were prepared. They scattered in different directions throughout the area before the Heroes could reach any of them.

"What now? Playing Hide N' Seek with us?!" Kendo yelled as the Heroes too scattered in different directions to search for the Villains.

Kirishima, on his way to the left, was met with sudden and an all to familiar green lightning passing in front of him, near the shadows.

"So, you've finally decided to show up, huh, Midoriya?" Kirishima asked as he activated his hardening quirk.

"You should really think again." The reply came with a villainous tone. This left Kirishima a little confused but he was ready to counter a kick from the Villain Leader hiding in the shadows but he was met with something new. The green lightning suddenly moved throughout the complex support of the tank, making clanking sound as the boy hit each pole and metal bars.

The sound startled the other Heroes as they all looked at the green lightning running here and there among the metal support. And the lightning disappeared with one last clank, proving that the Villain Leader has stopped. And then the bigger picture came into the limelight. Some of the poles went lose and began to fall down. The Villain, who scattered off to different directions had already made their way out of the complex and seemingly the Villain Leader also escaped. Now the Heroes were right in their trap, as Bakugou, Kendo and Kirishima activated their quirks to minimize the damage to themselves and the others. But couldn't do it for too long as the water tank itself fell down and broke, releasing the huge amount of water it contained for the city onto the Heroes.

It was like a mini flood!

~O~

"Hey! Hey! Hey! C'MON MAN!! MIDORIYA THEY WERE JUST BEGINNING TO DO SOMETHING NEW AND YOU DECIDED TO SHOW UP NOW AND START A MINIATURE FLOOD?!?! THAT'S SERIOUSLY VILLAINOUS, MAN!!!" Present Mic yelled from the observation room, deafening the other Pro Heroes.

"He was most likely here as a backup to his team." Nezu said, as he was also seen wearing blue ear muffs now.

"Really? How so?"

"As you see the Heroes were in majority here. The Villains, however, only four. He made the support lose. The Villains had already escaped so the Heroes were just standing in his trap which in my opinion was surprising!! This year what we are seeing is an alternate scenario of the reality of Heroes and Villains!! The Villain Team has something what usually Heroes have. Teamwork, strategy, quick-thinking and knowledge of the other. This is magnificent if you think of it one way. And terrifying if you think of them as real villains. Young Midoriya sure is very talented to prepare such a Team in mere five days." Nezu explained as he praised the green haired boy's unexpectedly amazing leadership abilities.

"Undebatable but... I'm a little concerned about his behavior during this whole war thing. Have you noticed the change in his tone? It's sure has changed a lot. Heck I couldn't even recognize him the first time!" All Might pointed out, and he was also wearing ear muffs.

"In all honesty, I like the change~" Midnight said, who was also wearing ear muffs and eating popcorn.

"Please don't... He's just trying to be in character..." Aizawa sighed.

~O~

Shiozaki erupted vines from her head but not towards Todoroki but towards the flyover where the other Heroes were. Startled, Bondo used his Cemedine quirk to create a wall to counter Shiozaki's attack. The vines however found a way through small openings in the wall-like structure and the first thing they caught was Ojiro's tail. Todoroki noticed her attack directions and understood some basic things about the Villain's plan.

'They are aiming for Ojiro...'

Todoroki fired up his left side and used a good amount of fire to burn Shiozaki's vines, cutting them away from Ojiro's tail.

"Bondo! Tsunotori! Get Ojiro away from all open areas!" Todoroki exclaimed as he continued burning the vines as more and more grew up.

"...You think your fire can stop us...?" Shiozaki's voice drove Todoroki attention towards her. "Dear. Dear. Your fire is nothing compared to our Hell..." Shiozaki said, her head lowered as she smiled. Ojiro was now with Bondo and Tsunotori moving towards an underpass.

Todoroki looked at her with slight confusion as the ice enveloped her. One reason he couldn't eliminate her was the ice. He couldn't let her go either. And her tone of voice, it was obvious something big was coming up.

Shiozaki raised her head to look at Todoroki.

"Calling in five minutes!!" She exclaimed.
