Chapter 2: Tokyo Festival part 2

The man who said this is named Yu. He was a lean man in his 20s. "We saw you in the 3rd bracket. You are monstrous, so a few people and I here decided it'd be smart to try to take you out first."

Futari looked to his left and right and to his dismay there were 5 people standing in front of him. Futari looked at Yu and noted that Yu must have some kind of speed quirk considering how fast he found me. In fact, all of them must have movement quirks because they were all able to scale a 3-story building in a few seconds. "Ha! I guess I shouldn't be surprised that people would decide to team up on me. Alright. Let's see if you can make use of your numbers." Futari stomps his back foot creating a huge cloud of smoke.

Yu took the lead. "Hold on guys." He saw the smoke shift to the left. Here he is. "Left guys!" Yu used his quirk, spring foot which it allows him to grow springs out of his foot. These springs generate much more force than normal springs. He flew forward. A rock came out of the smoke on the left. Yu had already begun his jump. Yu panicked. What?! Hiro, another man in Yu's group, directed himself to the right side of the smoke cloud using his shoulder blade jet quirk. His quirk allows him to push air out of his shoulder blades sending him forward while he is running. "You aren't fooling anyone!

Hiro and Yu came to the smoke cloud and saw nothing but a hole in the floor. A hand jutted out of the floor from under one of Yu's allies toward the opposite side of the roof, grabbing his flag and ripping it off. The hand then disappeared back into the floor.

The man got extremely angry. "Are you serious?!" He looked and saw his name crossed out with a ref gesturing him to be escorted. "I should have never followed your lead, Yu." The man began to get escorted out.

Yu was bewildered. It only took about a couple second for him and Hiro to lunge at Futari in the smoke. That means Futari stomped the floor creating the hole big enough to fall through, grabbed a small rock from the debris, threw that rock to his left to make it seem like he'd blitz to the left, ran along the level below this rooftop and took his allies flag by forcing his hand through the rooftop floor before disappearing. His thought process is phenomenally quick, and he is strong as hell. I should not even bother trying to take this kid out, Yu thought to himself. Suddenly Hiro, ripped Yu's flag off while Yu's guard was down.

Hiro smiled maliciously, "Sorry but there's a lot of money at stake here. We shouldn't even bother going after this kid so the deal is off." Yu was shaken to his core by a mixture of anger and despair.

Meanwhile, Futari was down in the middle of the same building within a cubicle area. Futari began to reassure himself. Trying to take flags from all those guys at once would be trouble if they all had movement quirks. There's a solid chance they'd get my flag if I took them head on. It's better if I just lay low over here. Futari walked over to the window to see who was left. There were already 15 people left and he began to laugh hysterically when he saw that most of Yu's group was out besides Hiro. "I guess that alliance was short lived." Suddenly the building began to rumble as if it was going to collapse. Futari jumped off the window of the building because he thought that the building was crumbling. As he landed outside he realized the building was not falling but rather the landscape itself. Is the mechanism that brought this environment up failing? Why is it falling? I need to get moving.Futari thought to himself as he began to run as fast as he could to the edge of the landscape. The plan was to get to a building rooftop near the end of the landscape and jump up past the height where the turf closes. Hopefully, it'll close so that he lands on the turf, otherwise, he'll just use his quirk so he doesn't get trapped under the stadium. As he ran, the ground shifted his feet. "What the-" The ground suddenly became mud and Futari began losing his balance. "Damn it. Who's quirk is this?!" Futari pushed through his feet and launched himself into the air. The mud began to shift and rise quickly after him. Futari landed sideways on the side of a building and launched himself in a different building's rooftop across the street. "I don't know who's doing this, but the landscape is going back under the stadium! We really don't have time for this!"

Bombastic comes back to the microphone with food in his mouth. "So- *chews* -as some of you may- *chews* -have noticed the stadium- *swallows* -the hot dogs in this place are great! Anyway, the landscape you see in front of you is slowing going back into the stadium's underground area. If you are in that landscape when the shutters close, you are eliminated!"

Futari was still dodging the mud waves. "I figured that was the case. I need to get up these walls. This person with the mud quirk, their attacks are accurate, so they must be able to see me." Futari began to look around as he dodged the onslaught of mud. Then finally about 100 yards away he spots red hair. Bingo. He jumped on the ledge of the building and lept in the direction of the assailant. He noticed that the mud wasn't manifesting in the sky. He landed near the building the person was on grabbing a window washers rope. He was close enough for the person to hear him. "Look, buddy, if we fight now we are both going to be eliminated. Why don't we try to get above the turf shutters then we can get rid of one another"

The person began to speak, "I'm not your buddy-" A woman Futari thought to himself "-and I don't need to be told when I can and cannot fight you. Getting above the shutters will be easy for me."

Before Futari could respond the woman peered over the edge and located him. He looked up at her. She actually doesn't look at that bad,he thought to himself. But I think I have a gist of her quirk. Futari was about to bounce off the building wall but he saw that the granite had become mud. "Shit," He mumbled. He let go of the rope.

The woman smiled, "Brown Stream." The mud jutted from the side of the building but Futari was already falling so he narrowly dodged. Futari glanced down at the side of the building and saw she already prepped another mud pool while the stream above him stopped moving rapidly because she was no longer manipulating that mud. He grabbed the rope and using his momentum from the fall he swung his legs and torso forward away from the building which caused the rope to swing away from the building. He let go allowing himself to fly dozens of feet away and began running as soon as he landed on the ground. The woman got annoyed. "Tsk. Such a slippery bastard."

He peeked upward and saw that the landscape was already almost completely under the level where the turf shutters would close. The top of buildings at the edge of the landscape was right next to the shutters doors. He didn't have much time. That lady caused me such a detour. In fact, why isn't she attacking? He looked around and didn't see her or her mud. She must have gone to the top of the shutters which is something that I need to do too. The landscape's highest point, which was a phone tower, was now under the shutters but Futari arrived at that point which was a phone tower and began scaling it, climbing and jumping when he could. He got to the top of the tower and leeped up to grab the shutter doors edge and pulled himself above them. "Phew. I didn't think I'd be climbing this much. I would have joined a damn hiking club if I wanted that," Futari said as he stood up. As he stood up a ref stood in front of him telling him to stay put. He observed who was left. "Wait, seriously?" Futari found himself staring down a beautiful red-haired woman. "Everyone else was eliminated, already?"

The woman looked slightly irritated, frowning. "I figured you wouldn't have time to get out of there… how annoying."
