"How far do we have left?" Puppet groaned.
Mr. Compress and Puppet had been running through pure woods for a few minutes straight and hadn't yet made it to the main campus grounds of UA.
"I don't know," was his reply, "not far I'd hope."
As the two villains ran, a sudden boom split the air from a close distance away. The sound made them skid to a halt and look to the origin of the sound. They looked above the tree tops in the direction they were heading.
A large pillar of gray material towered in the air. It seemed to be moving. Combating it was a large blast of recognizable bright blue flames. It didn't make a dent in the material.
"What is that?" Puppet questioned.
"Seems like cement," Mr. Compress identified. "I imagine Dabi's having trouble against that."
She groaned, starting to run towards the fight. "Guess we gotta go save his ungrateful ass again."
He started to run with her, quickly matching her pace. "Of course, the job falls to us."
——
Shigaraki jumped back to avoid a large slab of cement thrown at him by Cementoss. "Annoying," he hissed.
Dabi, Shigaraki and Cementoss had crossed paths and were now in the middle of a clearing having a fight.
Shigaraki turned to Dabi, who was standing next to him. "I can get to him, but you need to give me a distraction."
"Sure," the flame villain responded. "Let's disintegrate this prick."
Shigaraki swiftly ran at Cementoss as Dabi released a flurry of flames, combating the solid cement that was thrown their way.
Cementoss saw through their plan. "Oh no you don't!" he shouted at a quickly approaching Shigaraki. He quickly began to retreat by moving the cement that he was crouched on backwards.
Shigaraki growled in frustration, watching as the hero rushed away using his quirk.
"Dabi, Shigaraki!" a woman's voice yelled sharply.
The two mentioned villains turned to the origin of the voice.
Puppet and Mr. Compress had broken through the tree line and into the clearing that the fight had taken place in.
"You two!" Mr. Compress called. "Here!"
Dabi and Shigaraki bolted towards the other two villains to attempt to disappear into the trees.
Before they could make it all the way to the brush, several large shadows cast over the four villains' heads and they looked up. Above them were what seemed to be dozens of boulders hovering in mid-air.
Floating above the boulders was a brunette girl dressed in a black, white and pink hero costume. She pressed the pads of her fingers together.
"Release!!"
The boulders dropped through the air, plummeting towards the villains.
Puppet quickly pushed her comrades away and sliced strings through the air. She sliced the boulders into jagged slivers, grabbing and launching them into the ground, impaling them into the earth like they were large blades.
"Now!" someone—not a villain—yelled. "Go, go, go!"
A beam of sparkling bright blue light shot out from a nearby bush and into the ground next to the villains. Before they could react, the earth beneath them exploded and they were all thrown up into the air.
The flashes and bangs of explosions happened around them, momentarily stunning them.
In the short time that they were stunned, they were forcefully separated; they were either knocked away or otherwise individually relocated.
In Puppet's case, she was hit in the stomach and was thrown further the air. Before she could get her bearings, her arms were grabbed and she was flung away.
She landed hard on the ground with a thud. Clumps of dirt and grass were flung up from the impact as she skidded along the earth. As she regained herself, she saw a blur of a dark-purplish shadow fly past her. She stood up, using her sleeve to wipe away blood from a new gash on her chin.
"So they are sending the students out to fight." She smiled as she looked at her new opponents, but that smile quickly faded. "How caring."
