Third Person POV
"Now then, I will explain the rules of the cavalry battle." Midnight says. Yarashi puts down her ice wall, but stays close to Izuku. "The time limit is 15 minutes. Each team is worth the total of its members points. 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 teams falls, you're not out!" Midnight says. "Which means..." Momo says. "Since there are 42 people, there will be 10 or 12 teams on the field the whole time?" Sato says. "That's tough." Aoyama says.
"One strategy could be to let someone take your points first so you'll be more free." Mina says. "It's hard to say without seeing how all the points end up getting split up, Mina." Tsuyu says.
Yarashi knew some people she was gonna try to get on her team. She doesn't know if they'd be with her though. They could want to win with an other team or not want too much trouble.
"During the game, it'll be a cruel fight where you can use your quirks. But it is still a cavalry battle. You'll get a red card for attacks that are trying to make people fall on purpose! You'll be removed immediately!" Midnight says.
Yarashi looks straight at Bakugo when she says that. She hears him say Damn and bursts out laughing. (*≧∀≦*)
"Now you have fifteen minutes to build your teams. Start!" Midnight says. Yarashi looks at Izuku and puts her hand on his shoulders. "Izuku...please..." She says, teary eyed. "Really?!" Izuku exclaims.
He was just thinking that nobody would want to be with him because of his quirk. "You have my back and I have yours. Let's team up!" Yarashi says. Izuku nods. "Yarashi! Deku! Let's be a team!" Ochako says.
"Uraraka!" "Ochako!!!"
They both cry out. Izuku crying more than Yarashi. Yarashi tackles Ochako with a hug. "I-s it really okay?" Izuku asks. "Everyone will be after us! We're second and first place!" Yarashi says. "If we run away, the whole time, then you'll win right?" Ochako says.
"I think you're overestimating us Uraraka..." Izuku says. "Like I would! Anyway, it's better to team up with people you get along with!" Ochako says. Izuku and Yarashi both have a heart squeeze moment.
"What's the matter? You look ugly, you know." Ochako says. Yarashi bursts out laughing. "Oh, nothing. It's just that you're so bright that I can't look straight at you..." Izuku says, rubbing his tears away.
"I actually wanted you two to team up with me, you know. Thank you guys!" Yarashi says, getting off of Ochako. "For teams, it's best to be with people you can communicate with smoothly, right?" Izuku asks.
"Yup, yup!" Ochako says. "I actually have one more person in mine. I'm sure Izuku already knows." Yarashi says. They look at each other and run to IIDAAA!
"Iida!" Yarashi says, and tackles him from behind. They almost fell but Iida stands up. Yarashi gets down. "The four of us would be horses with Iida in the front! And then if we used Urarakas quirk to make Iida and me lighter, and uses Yarashis wind we will be able to maneuver easily." Izuku says.
"I see!" Ochako says. "This is all I could think of to keep running away until the end." Izuku says. Yarashi nods in agreement. "I expected no less, Midoriya. But I am afraid I have to refuse." Iida says.
Ochako and Izuku slightly gasp, while Yarashi loudly gasps. She thought they would be the perfect group together, since they always hanged out. "Ever since the entrance exam, I just keep losing to you. You are a wonderful friend, but that's why if I just keep following you, I will never grow." Iida says.
"Bakugo and Todoroki aren't the only ones who see you two as rivals. I will challenge you." Iida says. Yarashi sighs. She looks around for anybody else she thinks is perfect. She spots him. "Yarashi?" Ochako asks.
She walks over to him. "I want both of you!" She says. "Huh?"
"Now then, it's about time to get started! Midnight says, as the timer runs out. "After 15 minutes to form teams and talk strategy, twelve cavalry teams are lined up on the field!" Mic says.
"Now raise those battle cries! It's time for U.As bloody battle! Light the signal fire!" Mic says.
"Yarashi." "Yep!" "Ochako!" "Yes!" "Tokoyami." "Yeah."
"I'm counting on you!" Izuku says.
Top- Izuku
Right- Yarashi
Left- Ochako
Front- Tokoyami and Dark Shadow
(If you're wondering why Yarashi isn't on the top it's because she didn't want to. 🙃)
"Remember, guys. If anything comes our way, me, Dark Shadow and Tokoyami will protect you." Yarashi says. "It's a promise!"
"I believe you." Ochako says. "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!" Mic says.
"Three, two, one!" Mic says. "Start!" Midnight says. Everybody runs directly towards Izuku team. "An attack without delay, huh...The fate of the pursued." Tokoyami says. "Fate." Ochako says. "Make your choice, Midoriya!" Tokoyami says. "Choice!" Yarashi says.
"Of course, our move is to run away!" Izuku says. Then their feet started to sink, like quick sand. "What's this?!" Ochako asks. "We're sinking?!" Izuku says. "It's no good, I can't get out." Ochako says.
"Storm Dragons Burst!" Yarashi says. She lifts everybody out and they fly into the air. Dark shadow hits Jirou attack away. "Good! Dark Shadow, keep watch over our blind spots!" Tokoyami says. "Got it!" Dark Shadow says.
"It's like having 5 people instead of 4." Yarashi says. "Wow, that's so cool!" Izuku says. "You're great for defense and any range attacks. I'm so glad you're on our team!" Yarashi says. "You're the one who chose me." Tokoyami says.
"Yarashi, can you still hold us up?" Izuku asks. "Yep, I could for the whole time." Yarashi says. "Great!" Izuku says. "We don't need to do to much work then." Ochako says.
Yarashi moves them as Tsuyu tongue flies towards them. She dodges as Mineta and Tsuyu use their far range attacks. She makes a wind barrier around their headbands.
She flies far away from their attacks, but smells fire coming. They look down and see Bakugo. "Don't get carried away!" Bakugo says, appearing in front of them. "Damn it!" Bakugo yells.
"Tokoyami!" Izuku says. Dark shadow appears in front of Bakugo and takes the hit. Bakugo starts to fall but Sero catches him. "Dark Shadow, are you okay?" Yarashi asks. "Yes!" Dark shadow says.
Yarashi keeps moving them around in the air. Who knows who else is going to pull a far range attack? "It's been 7 minutes! Here are the current rankings up on the screen!" Mic says. Yarashi takes a quick look and got surprised.
Most of the teams already had zero. She focuses back on who was closing in. Yarashi lowers them down for a second, since nobody was coming. Yeah, scratch that.
"I'll be taking that now." Todoroki says. "I thought we would not have a confrontation until later in this contest. He seems to think highly of you, Midoriya." Tokoyami says. "Only half the time is left! Don't stop moving." Izuku says.
Yarashi readies herself. "Watch our surroundings. It's not just one group coming for us!" Izuku says. Yarashi sees Kaminari about to electrocute everybody. She eats the lightning for her team and as a snack.
"Don't worry. Hold on guys!" Yarashi says. She balances Izuku on her shoulder and holds her arms out. Todoroki traps them self together in one circle. "Big mistake!" Yarashi yells.
"Storm Dragons Shocking Primrose!" She yells. A big flower made out of ice, and covered in lightning appears and fly towards team Todoroki and hits them head on. "Times up! That's the end of the second round, the cavalry battle!" Mic says.
"Now, lets take a look at the top four teams right away! In first place, Team Midoriya! In Second place, Team Todoroki! In third place, team Bakugo! And in fourth, Testute-Huh? What's, it's Team Shinso?! When did you come from behind?!" Mic announces.
Yarashi jumps up and down in excitement. "We did it!" She yells. Then Ochako joins in. "We did it!" They say. Izuku bursts into tears and goes on his knees. "Oh dear! Here we go again." Yarashi says. "They're like water fountains." Tokoyami says.
"Now, we will take an hour break for lunch before we start the afternoon festivities! See ya!" Mic says. Everybody starts to walk away.
Yarashi sees Midoriya and Todoroki about to talk to each other so she leaves them alone. She goes over to everybody else. "Everybody did a great job!" Yarashi yells.
"You especially!" Mina says. "We wouldn't have to face all out Yarashi if it wasn't for Shinso declaration of war." Sero says. "Hehe." Yarashi giggles. Then suddenly Yarashi smells a familiar scent. She freezes and her eyes widen in shock. "Yarashi?" Ochako asks.
"Oh, sorry. I'm coming." Yarashi says. She runs lightly with a excited face. "I think I'm going to need 10 meals." Yarashi says, drooling over the thought of her food. "How big is your stomach?" Momo asks. "Very big." Yarashi says, simply.
Time Skip
"Now that lunch is over, it's finally time to reveal the last game! But before that, there's good news for all of you who didn't make it to the finals! This is just a sports festival!
So we've prepared recreational games that everyone can participate in, too! We've even brought real cheerleaders from America to liven things up! Huh?" Mic says.
Yarashi and the other girls stood in cheerleader outfits, NOT AMUSED. Yarashi didn't mind though.
"What's the matter, Class A? What kind of fan service is that?" Mic asks. "Mineta! Kaminari! You tricked us, didn't you?!" Momo yells. Momo kneels down. "Why am I always caught up in Mineta'a schemes?" Momo asks.
"I even used creation to make the outfits..." Momo says. "Don't be sad mom! I'll freeze them for you!" Yarashi says. She glared over at the boys. "Those guys are so dumb!" Jirou says, throwing her Pom poms down.
"Well, there's still time left before the finals, and it'd be a pain if things got tense." Toru says. "It's fine! Let's do it!" She exclaims. "What?!" Jirou exclaims.
Meanwhile Yarashi was chasing Kaminari and Mineta down for making her mother cry. "You know you can't run from me forever, so might as well stop now!" Yarashi yells. They think for a minute but continued to run.
Yarashi used her wind and got them easily. Now, she makes them go up and down in the air. "Apologize to mother!" Yarashi yells. "Momo, I'm sorry!" Kaminari yells. Yarashi let's him down.
Yarashi waits for Mineta. "I'm sorry that you have big-" Yarashi slams him into the ground and freezes him. "Okay, you can go now Kaminari." Yarashi says.
He didn't even look twice and ran away. "All right, everyone! Let's have fun competing in the recreational games! When that's over, the 16 teams from the four teams that made it to the final round will duke it out tournament style, one by one!" Mic says.
Yarashi runs over to Izuku. She taps his shoulder. He looks around and screams and covers his face. "How do I look?!" She asks. "You looking bea-AMAZING!" Izuku screams. "You don't have to scream it out you know." Yarashi says, rubbing her ears.
"Sorry!" Izuku exclaims. "Now, lets draw lots to determine the bracket. Once the bracket is determined, we'll have the recreational games and then start! The 16 finalists can choose whether or not they want to participate in the recreation.
I'm sure some of you want to rest or save your strength. Now from the first place team-" Midnight says. "Um, excuse me? I'm withdrawing." Ojiro says, raising his hand. Everybody gasps.
"Ojiro, why?" Izuku asks. "This is a rare chance for pros to see you!" Iida says. "I barely remembering anything from the cavalry battle until almost the end. I think it was that guys quirk." Ojiro says. Yarashi looks at Shinso.
She knew he was on a team with him. Shinso looks away. "I know that this is a great chance and that it's foolish to waste it. But everyone here competed by giving their all! I can't be up there with everyone without knowing what really happened." Ojiro says.
"You're worrying too much about it! You should just make sure you produce results in the finals!" Toru says. "I'd you're gonna say that, I didn't do anything either." Mina says. "That's not it. I'm talking about my pride here...I can't." Ojiro says.
Yarashi walks closer to him and gives him a hug. He digs his head into her neck to hide his face. "Also, why are you guys wearing cheerleader outfits?" Ojiro asks. "2 certain perverts." Yarashi says, patting Ojiros back.
She releases the hug. She sees another person also wanting to do the same as Ojiro. It was also another team member of Shinso. She guesses men have a very big thing of pride.
"Youthful talk like that Is something, I like! Shoda! Ojiro! I accept your withdrawal!" Midnight says.
"She decided based on her tastes..." Everybody thinks. "I'm going to do it, okay?" Aoyama says, putting his hand on Ojiros shoulder. "In that case, we'll have to move up two people from the 5th place cavalry battle team." Midnight says.
A girl with orange hair in a ponytail speaks up. "If that's what's going to happen, then rather than us, who barely did anything during the cavalry battle, it should be them right?" She asks. Her classmates agreed.
"The ones who fought to the end and stayed in the top, Team Tetsutetsu, right?" She asks. "Kendo..." Tetsutetsu says. "This isn't collusion or anything. It just makes sense." Kendo says. "You guys...!" Tetsutetsu cries out.
Yarashi covers her ears. "And so, Tetsutetsu and Shiozaki have moved up to make sixteen! This is the bracket based on the results of the drawing!" Midnight says. The screen showed the results.
Yarashi looked for her name and finds herself against Iida. She stays close to Ojiro and pats his tail for comfort. Ojiro would be a great opponent for fighting. Suddenly it leaves her hand and covered Izuku mouth.
"Midoriya." Ojiro says. "Ojiro, what's the matter?" Izuku asks. "Don't answer him." Ojiro says. Yarashi looks confused. She knew Ohiro knew something about Shinso, others didn't.
"All right! Let's leave the tournament aside for a momentary interlude! Let's have fun with the recreation!" Mic yells. Fireworks appear and music turns on.
"Let's cheer!" Yarashi says, picking up her pom poms.
