Tiango vs Bedeila.
After Jack forced all of his soldiers to return to base he, Mathew and Jenna checked them carefully through their nanomachines. That was the best way to see their conditions and mental states which gave away their secrets.
Bedeila, Connor along with all the other soldiers were at the position of attention while Bigby was sitting next to Bedeila. As for the soldiers behind or next to the wolf were sweating as they could feel just how strong the wolf was. Jack took a deep breath as he noticed some issues.
"ALRIGHT YOU BASTARDS, YOU ALL FAILED!"
No one said a thing despite his words. Despite that many of the soldiers started to sweat as it was never pretty when Jack said they failed. They were for training that was more akin to torture than physical training. Jack continued once again.
"I CAN SEE THAT MANY OF YOU FUCKS LOOK TIRED, HUNGRY MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE SAD! WELL SUCK IT UP! I AM DISAPPOINTED IN ALL OF YOU! EVEN YOU BEDEILA!"
Her ears perked up in shock as she did not expect him to scold her. Her heterochromatic eyes opened wide, but she kept looking forward. Jack continued.
"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE IT TO THE FINISH LINE, NOT COME BACK! CONNOR, YOU ARE JUST AS GUILTY, BUT AT LEAST YOU TWO BROUGHT BACK THE WOLF!"
Bigby snorted as he laid down on the ground. Jack did not bother with that as Bigby was still a wolf. He still planned to train that wolf to be a proper army wolf. He was already smiling as he looked into the red-eyed wolf.
'You will wish you stayed in the forest pup.'
"NO SLEEP, AND NO FOOD FOR THE NEXT 72 HOURS AS PUNISHMENT! ONLY WATER! EXTREME TRAINING FOR THAR ENTIRE TIME!
That was more like torture, but it was not the first time Jack had forced his soldiers to go through with it. It was a miracle that all of them were quirk users otherwise they would probably pass out in such conditions.
Bedeila knew that her grandfather was starting to get serious with the training. She was glad she had decided to come here, but now she was kind of scared. As for Connor he only sighed quietly as he had experienced his father's training.
Jack and Mathew really did keep their promise and they made a 72-hour tpunishment camp. The 15,000 soldiers were separated into groups of 500 to make them easier to manage.
Each one was under the control of a senior soldier who had been with the Dragon Division for many years. Bedeila and Connor were under the control of an old grizzled man named Jackson who had dozens of scars on his body. It was a miracle he still had unmarked skin as his quirk was considered a deadly one even to him.
It was called Scar for good reason. He could transfer his scars to anyone in his line of sight in the form of wounds. All of the scars and burns on his body were self inflicted as the more he had the more weapons he had.
Jackson stood in front of the 500 soldiers and 1 wolf with a serious look in his eyes. They were unmarked by scars which let people see just how blue his eyes were. He was without a doubt a intimidating man who stood 6'3 with muscles that were barely contained in his uniform.
"Alright. You are all here. For the next 72 hours you will be under my loving caress. You."
He pointed at Bedeila who looked forward.
"SIR!"
"Could you stay in formation with something like this?"
He pulled his combat knife from his pocket and dragged it across his forehead. A large cut appeared on his forehead which turned to scar tissue before he bled. Bedeila suddenly felt a sharp pain across her forehead. She did not even tremble as Scar was not without downsides. If the person you wanted to transfer the wound too had a stronger body it would not work as well.
Bedeila's skin incredibly hard to pierce, but even so a small cut opened on her forehead. When he saw how she did not tremble and how the wound closed before she bled impressed him.
"Well done. What about this?"
He stabbed the blade into his thigh and activated Scar. Bedeila felt the pain on her thigh, but the blade was stopped by her muscles half way. Even so she had never suffered such damage as her strength had surpassed everyone else.
'FUCK!'
Her thigh bled, but her regeration closed the wound at a rapid rate. Even so that part of her pants was stained red with her blood. Connor felt anger at what she was going through, but he also knew the real personalty of Jackson.
The hard grizzled man was had one of the kindest souls he knew. His Scar quirk was without a doubt strong, but excruciating for him. He suffered more than anyone from his quirk, but he still used it for the benefit of his soldiers.
The more he bled, the less they would die in the field. They may hate and fear him, but if they lived he would become as hated as possible. It was why a healer was always stationed here in case he or his target were too wounded to keep going.
"Alright, you are not just some girl playing soldier. Return to formation."
"Sir."
She did as she was told and stood between her dad and Bigby. Jackson cleared his voice as he finished his test for her.
"ALRIGHT! YOUR FIRST TRIAL WILL SPARING WITH QUIRKS! A HEALER WILL BE PRESENT SO GO ALL OUT!"
The method to choose turned out to be lots. They all had their names placed into a giant box for them to choose. The ones who could draw a name were every other solider so very soon everyone found their sparing partner.
Bedeila just so happed to be the 8th in the line so she got to draw a name. When she looke at it she read the name out loud for Jackson.
"TIANGO, SIR!"
Jackson wanted to smile as he fully expected her to lose this one.
"TIANGO, BEDEILA! YOU TWO ARE UP FIRST!"
Bedeila and Tiango walked forward as a massive barrier was formed by barrier quirk. The Dragon Division made sure to train all of their soldiers to the peak and ever since the nanomachines were used everyone began to improve.
Bedeila and Tiango stood in front of each other like a boxing match. Bedeila was not short at all as she was 6 foot, but she felt tiny in front of Tiango. He was a giant man who towered even above Connor or Georgie.
He was as 15 feet tall and that was before he used his quirk. Bedeila introduced herself.
"Bedeila Canis."
"Tiango Martin."
Both of them backed away from each other as Jackson had not given them the go sign.
"BEGIN!"
Bedeila charged right in as she was a close combat expert. Her Blast Fire quirk was just fine at range, but she always unleashed a inferno up close where her immunity to fire shined. Such a reckless style was supported by her quirk enhanced clothes.
Her forarms turned into their werewolf state while fire covered them. She appeared infron of Tiango and threw her punch into his gut. A blast of green fire hithit after causing him to deal with two diffrent attacks.
Bigby watched with intrest as his master battled. Bedeila continued her assault as she believed to overwhelm her foes with a furry of nonending blows. Her legs also transformed which caused her speed to increase.
Her flames would explode to boost her speed making her blitz Tiango. She leaped into the air and kneeed him in the face launching his head backward. While she was up there she slammed her hands down on his face, but she realized something.
His body felt both solid and not. Suddely her fur stood on end making her dodge back to avoid the massive headbut that came her way. Tiango smiled as he wiped his stomach to clean it of the singe marks.
"That would have taken anyone else down. I am very impressed to see how far you will go."
She also was impressed.
"You are powerful. I look forward to this."
He grinned as he exhaled hot air.
"Well, let me show you the full force of lava."
His body suddenly turned into liquid sludge that began to release massive amount of heat. Her eyes went wide open as she could tell that his body was made of lava. She watched as more and more lava began to appear around Tiango adding to his total mass.
In just a few seconds he no longer looked human, but like a giant lava snake. Two bright red eyes opened while large teeth filled the mouth. The very ground was turning into lava and fuelling his body to grow even more. A tongue flicked from his mouth as he looked down at Bedeila.
Jackson smiled as Tiango was rather famous for his ability to turn his body into lava. It was so powerful even water would not slow him down. No more words were exchanged as he charged toward Bedeila.
She did not back down and faced him head on. Her fist was covered in green fire which met his head met each other which made everyone watch carefully. The one to lose the clash was Bedeila who was launched until she hit the shield.
A giant explosion of green flames caused parts of Tiango's face to turn to sludge which he had to repair. His body was lava, so he could take damage with no issue.
Connor smiled as that much damage would not put her down. Instead of freezing she landed on all fours on the sheidl and bounced off it to charge back toward Tiango. All the while more lava was added to Tiango's body so he created two giant front legs.
He slammed his foot down toward Bedeila, but she dodged out of the way with the agility of a wolf. She ran up his lava claw and kicked with full force on the side of his face. Once again explosion of green flames caused damage to his body.
She did not stop at one though as she continued to rain explssive punches down on Tiango. If anyone could see her face they would see a excited grin as battle was in her very DNA. Once again her fur stood on end, but this time she was too slow to dodge.
Tiango's giant fist hit her and launched her to the opposite end of the barrier.
'This girl will make it far, but so will I.'
Finally his back legs finished forming increasing his speed even further. Bedeila reached for her mask and lowered it letting it hang from her neck. Connot grinned as he expected her to pull this card.
'If green flames don't work, try blue, purple or even white. She has never reached white, but maybe you will be the first to taste them.'
Tiango had no idea what her mask was for, but he felt danger. He knew something had changed, but he just saw her breathing. It reminded him of the Big Bad wolf in the story hsi mom told him when he was a kid.
She was taking in more air than was possible as her lungs had adapted to intake as much air as possible. Tiango did not bother to wait as he charged in even faster than the first time. He appeared above Bedeila in a flash as he felt the need to end the fight as soon as possible.
He punched down toward her, but Bedeila had reached the limit of what she could take. She clenched her fist and directed her enhanced flames to cover her flames. Jackson was shocked as the flames she had summoned were bright blue.
She dodged out of the way of his fist that hit right next to her. She raised her palm and unleashed a codenced blast of blue fire that hit Tiago straight in the chest. He was shocked at what he felt. He felt heat meaning her flames were hot enough to let his lava body feel them.
He was excited to see how far her flames could go, but before he could do that Jackson ended the fight. Tiango and Bedeila were a bit disappointed, but they listned to orders. Tiango began to dispere the lava he had absorbed until he reformed in his human form.
Bedeila brought up her gasmask while she thought of something
"Why did you choose a serpant?"
Tiango smiled.
"I had a pet Black Mamba when I was a kid so I wanted to copy her. Trust me, given more time I can even get bigger and more dragon like. Maybe you can force me to use it one day."
Jackson kept his serious face, but he was glad they could get along even after a fight. Soldiers are not individuals, they are a team first and foremost.
"YOU DID WEL! FROM THE NEXT 72 HOURS YOU WILL BE PARTNERS!"
After they got donw 10 more soldiers were chooson as the soldier who used the barriers could make 5 at once. This way the spars would not take too long and more could get done after a few hours. They had 249 more spars to get through.
A good way to get the blood pumping for what was to come. It was at best a warm up for the next three days. As for Bedeila, she was happy to find someone she could fight seriously. As for Tiango he had never felt a flame that could make him feel it.
She was glad she had come here and felt more certain she would join after she got bored with hero work. Connor was only going to stay another 2 weeks as he had more work to get done in Japan.
While he was sad about it, he had full faith she did not need him anymore. Doesn't mean he would not cry though. He secretly wiped the tears from his eyes as he wanted to spar with his partner. He had some sorrow to let lose and a fight was the perfect way to do it.
