Chappy 98 - A Strange Cube
--[--]...[--]--
*whoosha*
Dabi was flung to the edge of the platform, forced to watch the culprit quietly as he waited to land.
Not that he could attack Tiger, since the attack hit him like a falling bulldozer to the point he felt that time had stopped for a split second.
"You fucker!" Dabi instantly got mad when he regained the ability to form a thought.
Blue flames flooded the place, attacking everyone without care, no matter if they were on Dabi'a's side or not.
"DABI! YOU DIPSHIT!" Muscular and Spinner shouted simultaneously as they protected themselves from the ravaging heat.
Unfortunately for them, Dabi couldn't care less and continued his onslaught, focusing all of his firepower on Tiger and Gang Orca, wanting to faze them out.
Once the two of them were out of commission, the rest of the heroes would be unthinkably easy to deal with.
However, he had overlooked something that would prove to be a pain in the ass.
Ryukyu stood in front of everyone, changing into her draconic form, and used her body as a shield to protect her colleagues.
Thanks to her quirk being a dragon itself, the blue flames felt like a wind breeze rather than a fire tsunami.
"This is getting annoying." Dabi watched as the massive dragon blocked all of his fire.
If things continued this way, the one that would lose was them.
Having no other choice, Dabi pulled back his blue flame and gave a signal to his partners to attack him.
"Do that again and I will punt your head!" Muscular roared angrily but still followed suit with the plan as they needed to win.
"Brainhead!" Dabi looked over to the abomination that was standing on the edge of the platform.
A nomu with chainsaws as limbs.
It was only now that the nomu was activated since Dabi realized that the fight was harder than expected.
Muscular and the Nomu lead in the front followed by Dabi and Spinner who were looking for a chance to take out any unsuspecting heroes.
Poor Moonfish wasn't allowed to do anything since his quirk was too volatile and uncontrollable.
"Mount Lady! Get up!" Kamui Woods appeared beside Mount Lady who was rubbing her buttocks that were numb from Muscular's attack.
"That brute isn't a gentleman!" Mount Lady whined and glared at Muscular.
"Then why don't you defeat him?" Kamui Woods saw a chance and used it to increase Mount Lady's morale.
Anger turned into motivation to fight.
*THUD*
Mount Lady stomped in fiery madness as she waited for Muscular to come her way, wanting to pummel him in the head.
Knowing that she had been saved and ready to fight, Kamui Woods left her side and appeared behind the unsuspecting Moonfish.
In less than a few seconds, Moonfish was out of the fight as he was thrown out of the arena, eliminating him from the battle.
"Weird Blade Guy is out, 4 more villains remain." Ei instantly announced the result, surprising Dabi and the others.
They didn't expect to lose one of them right after they took their eyes from Moonfish.
But it was kind of expected with Kamui Woods' superb flanking ability that allowed him to appear anywhere as long as there's wood.
"Eliminated fighters are not allowed to enter the ring again." Ei's voice entered everyone's ears, causing them to look in her direction.
Currently, Ei was standing in front of the bound Moonfish who was struggling to break free.
At first, he wanted to activate his quirk and pierce all of the wood to break it, but was stopped by her.
"One more violation results in death." Ei spoke to the worm in front of her.
Then again, it was too much to expect something from a worm.
Moonfish continued to struggle and directly destroyed the wood that bound him.
"What a waste of time." Ei let out a disappointed sigh and stomped Moonfish's head.
*BANG*
Moonfish exploded, dying from electrocution before his body exploded to chunks.
"Hisss!" The viewers from back home had the bad luck to watch a human body exploding in full detail.
"Why did they show that?" One could wonder as to why the news channel didn't censor any of the gore.
What they didn't know was that these major news channels didn't have a say in any of this showing they did.
Nagant simply did all of the jobs herself, without needing anyone to actively participate and monitor it.
No matter how shocking that was, none of the fighters had any time to acknowledge it as they were simply busy fighting.
Of course, the one that was relieved the most was Dabi, as he didn't need to be responsible for Moonfish now that the burden was dead.
"Don't bother with that shit and kill these annoying fucks." Dabi shouted to all of his partners.
"You don't need to tell me any of that!" Muscular roared in annoyance, as he tried to find a weak spot on Mount Lady.
But no matter what, none of Muscular's attacks seemed to hit any critical spot.
All he felt was that he was punching a massive pillow.
"Kamui Woods! Tie him!" Mount Lady called out a name, which split Muscular's focus into two.
Only to realize it was just a bluff.
There was no one near Muscular other than Mount Lady.
But it was a tad bit too late.
"Gotcha!" Mount Lady took hold of the massive muscle mass and instantly threw him out of the arena.
"YOU BITCH!!!" Muscular shouted out all that his lungs had in store.
A shout wouldn't change anything.
"Muscle Guy had been eliminated!" Ei announced the instant Muscular left the boundary of the platform.
The fight had changed into a 5 vs 3, a massive change into a disadvantageous battle for the villains.
"Tsk." Dabi clicked his tongue in annoyance. " Spinner! We will attack Kamui Woods first."
Dabi revealed his plan to everyone, increasing everyone's alertness.
Which made everyone gather around Kamui Woods, protecting from anything that came.
"Alright!" Spinner replied and changed his opponent.
Spinner wielded a massive amalgamation of swords melted into one massive weapon.
With his target known to everyone in the field thanks to Dabi, they immediately created a wall in front of Kamui.
Only to realize that something was amiss.
They looked around and realized that Dabi wasn't with him.
"KYAAAAH!" Mount Lady's scream woke everyone up.
Realizing that Spinner was just a distraction made by Dabi to target Mount Lady.
They immediately went to work to assist her, since her massive size made her unable to fight efficiently.
Gang Orca stood in front of her, with his mouth gaped open.
*GRAAAH!!*
Hypersonic waves hit Dabi and the Nomu, stopping them in their tracks.
Strangely, the former seemed to be relaxed, smiling even.
"One down." Dabi muttered with a smirk.
"Wood Ninja has been eliminated." Ei announced to everyone's shock.
In the time they were putting all of their focus on helping Mount Lady.
Spinner had snuck in unnoticed and dragged Kamui Woods and stabbed him in the chest.
Killing him.
The lifeless body of Kamui Woods lay on the ground, eyes bloodshot looking at the massive swords that stabbed him in the chest.
"You guys are bad at covering for each other, you know?" Dabi spoke while everyone was still shocked. "Two down."
"Giant Girl has been eliminated." Ei calmly announced.
Mount Lady was flung out of the arena, eliminating her out of the fight.
Dabi would've liked to kill her and decrease their enemies.
But her skin was so impossibly thick that not even chainsaw Nomu could do any substantial damage to her.
Forcing him to shove her out of the arena.
Without any of the heroes ever realizing what had happened, the fight had changed into 3 vs 3, balancing the battle.
Surprisingly, while all of the villains were being lax due to their successive elimination.
Tiger ran towards Spinner and took him by surprise before slamming the massive sword until it broke.
"You think you've done something?" Spinner snorted, looking at the pieces that were his weapon.
"You see, Spinner's quirk is not the sword." Dabi narrated the fight.
As soon as the sword broke to pieces.
Spinner slammed his chest and grew big into a gorilla-sized lizard.
Strangely, they didn't seem to know anything about jumping an enemy.
While Dabi and the chainsaw Nomu were on the side watching the fight.
Ryukyu and Gang Orca went to assist Tiger and instantly knocked Spinner out of the fight.
"That idiot." Dabi shook his head, seeing how Spinner fumbled.
"Lizard Boy had been eliminated." Ei once again announced to everyone.
"Nomu, use this." Dabi took out a metallic-looking cube and threw it at the clueless Nomu.
Seeing that their chance of winning had dwindled once more, Dabi decided to use something that All For One gave him.
A weird cube that could grant the wielder a monstrous power.
That sounded suspicious so he used Nomu as a guinea pig.
"""How disrespectful, giving my cube to such mindless creature."""
