Screaming.

Huh? Why is someone screaming at the beach? Sharks? Sharknadoes? No, that's dumb.

The thought bounced through Momo’s abruptly rattled mind. She had only just arrived at one of Tokyo Bay’s many beaches. This one in particular had been recommended by other students at UAU. They said it was good for “training”. Complete with air quotes from some of them. A few did actually use the sandy coast to intensify their runs and make working out fun through beach volleyball and the like. The others… well, they were probably up to stuff way over Momo’s head. But she had chosen to come all the same. Partly because it was free to visit and partly because it was close to some relatives that she wanted to visit later that evening.

If there was a later that evening.

And there wouldn’t been if Momo didn’t dive out of the way of something. Momo wasn’t exactly sure what it was. Not at first. She had initially thought it was a rock half-sunk into the sand, but as she rolled over to recover from her clumsy dodge and tried to scramble to her feet, she saw it was one of several mutated crustaceans covered in stony armor. Said armor was split at the front where one would assume a face would be and there a face was—if one considered bulging rows of nightmarish teeth a face.

Now Momo was screaming too.

Some Hero student she was.

To her credit, it was just one short scream. Then she was on her feet and trying to figure out what to do. Every survival instinct Momo had said to run, but she was a Hero student, and people were in danger. So she had to help.

Think, Momo, think! What’s the plan?

The ocean, the sparkling waves, the deep blue color that hides what some would call the beautiful mysteries of the deep, Leo hated it. He hated how big and open it was, he hated how you couldn’t see past certain points of it and he hated a massive chunk of the things that swam in it and called it his home. The beach however was another story. Not only was it an ok place to relax with the cool breeze and the warm sand combining in a perfect combination but it was a great place to train, it was that reason that had brought the young boxer there. He had heard through the grapevine that students used this beach to train and the old man was a fan of making Leo do beach road work back home, so it was no surprise the boxer ended up at what was currently his sand filled training area at the old man’s orders, bomber jacket tied around his waist as he made his way down the beach with rhythmic strides.     That rhythm was interrupted as a scream pierced the air followed by more all over the beach, looking down the sandy stretch of land the speedster could see some kind of crab-like creature that was lifting itself out of the sand next to someone. “Always forward, never back” the old man’s words rang strongly through Leo’s mind as he rushed towards the creature as fast as his legs could carry him, dropping his shoulder and slamming into the side of the crustacean trying to knock it off balance. As he hopped backwards and entered his boxing stance he glanced towards the person who had been staring down the creature surprised to see a familiar face “Oh hey Momo enjoyin tha beach?” A confident smirk spread across his face.

Things would have gone a lot differently had Momo’s well-being been entirely in the hands of her ability to think fast under pressure. She probably would have been down a limb, or worse, given how the monster had been tensed to spring at her. But its unfulfilled spring turned into spring(s) instead. As in, Leo Springs of all people.

“Huh?! Leo-kun?!”

There wasn’t time to ask what he was doing there in between being grateful and the fact oddity was shaped so that as soon as Leo had crashed into it and forced it back, it had rolled over on itself and back onto its spidery legs once more. Said legs were currently busy rushing toward the two UAU students now.

“My beach day bumming turned into a beach day bummer,” Momo managed to get out while scuttling out of the warpath herself. Others around them weren’t so lucky as sands shifted and sea creatures surged farther inland. Momo snatched up a nearby shell that seemed devoid of any occupants. She tossed it at one of the crabs stalking a teen that wasn’t quick enough to escape on their own. It did absolutely no damage at all between the fact it was a small random shell and Momo not exactly being strong, but that wasn’t the point. The point was to distract her target. That part was successful. But now Momo was stuck between a living rock and… more living rocks. Not the best situation, but now that shock was wearing off, Momo wasn’t about to run. At least, not away.

“We can’t fight all of them,” Momo said, even though Leo seemed like the type that might have that kind of idea given how he immediately jumped into the fray. Which was the exact opposite of Momo. So she backtracked a little both verbally and physically to dodge the second crab while digging around in her jacket pocket. “Well, we can’t fight all of them and win, but we can probably distract them enough to help people get away!” And what was Momo searching for to help them in such a dire situation?

A yo-yo.

She pulled it out of her pocket and held it up triumphantly.

“You in, Leo-kun?”

Hopefully fortune actually favored the bold.

Or even better, the stupid and reckless.

Leo sucked his teeth in annoyance, the crustacean had righted itself much faster than the boxer would have liked it to and amidst the pleasantries of the two students talking the creature charged them. The speedster darted forward moving his head and upper body from side to side as he weaved by the charging monster. He took a deep breath looking around the beach once he had made it past the charging creature. It was a war zone, more creatures fell upon those who were unable to get away in time. Nearby Leo spotted a family of four that was about to share the same unlucky fate as those who were too far away to help, once again the speedster’s legs carried him forward into the fray getting to family just in time to throw a punch at the stone skinned monster’s side getting the fanged menace’s attention “Hope ya don’t mind if I steal your dance partner from you folks” Leo swiped his thumb across his nose wiping the sweat from it “Party is gettin pretty crowded so I think it's best if you folks get goin home”     With another creature’s attention added to the ever growing collection the punk peppered the beast with more fast jabs as he bobbed and weaved his way back over to his fellow student as she spoke and dug through her pockets “I never say can’t because can’t means you’ve given up before ya even tried” Leo responded in between throwing punches against the stone covered creatures and weaving in between their attacks “But helpin those people come first for sure” he turned to look at his comrade in crustacean fighting arms to see the item she had been looking for held triumphantly in her hands, and it was a yo-yo. The boxer smiled, that triumphant attitude was something he could definitely get behind. He reached down and untied the bomber jacket at his waist pulling it on with a flourish his nick-namesake the god of storms Raijin once again adorning his back. “Always forward and never back, hell yeah I’m in.

“Plan? Oh! Plan!”

Momo totally had one of those with details and everything. She wasn’t just thinking help people as the entirety of said plan. Nope! Not her! She was a brilliant tactician.

Okay. So Momo had no concrete plan. “I totally have a plan!” But Leo didn’t know that. What little floundering Momo did gave her some extra time to cobble the rest of her idea about the yo-yo together. An idea was like a baby plan and that would have to work.

“I can give them the ol’ zipzap with my yo-yo. Sea stuff hates that, right?” Hopefully that wasn’t just cartoon logic in Momo’s head. “But it might work better if we can hit a lot at once and keep them away from people.” Basic crowd control. They had learned that in class. At least, Momo thought they had learned that in class. Maybe she dreamed about it in a nap during a lesson instead. Too late to figure it out now.

“Think you can use some of that ‘always forward’ energy to get their attention? Pretty sure you’re way faster than me so you should be able to, you know, not get hit! Then you can herd them toward me after I help get some people outta here if they get trapped by any crabby friends not playing follow-the leader!”

It was a totally awesome and coherent plan.

Right?

Leo looked at his fellow student as it slowly became apparent that his beetle enthused friend had no solid plan to work with, the smile on his face only grew bigger as the not plan was explained to him. “Right, bop the crabs, get 'em together, don’t get hit, fry'em with the yo-yo to save the day, get a burger after to celebrate.” he rolled his head from side to side his neck cracking and crunching “Easy, let’s get ta work'' The speedster’s feet dug into the sand as he launched forward once again weaving between the razor sharp maws of the small group of creatures they had already gathered around them, the jaws of the creatures snapped shut as he rushed by as they followed. His first set of targets to get the attention of was another small group of three crustaceans that were trying to make their way further up the beach.     He sprinted forward a small cloud of sand left in his wake, he skidded to a stop at one of the creatures ending up closer than he would have liked, the loose sand making his footwork sloppy and slightly uncontrolled. The creature swung its large armored leg as it turned around and the boxer was just barely able to duck down out of the way before throwing a retaliating uppercut slamming into the stone armor of the creature. He would have to be careful the unstable terrain would have to be something he had to adapt to unlike the former ocean dwelling opponents who seemed to have no problem traversing the sand.     As the monsters converged on him the boxer could feel the adrenaline course through his body. The anticipation knowing only one could come out of this the winner would cause most people to be anxious or nervous but Leo wasn’t most people. He relished the feeling of adrenaline in his veins and being in a fight, he felt the most at home in moments like these and at times it concerned him how much he craved and needed that feeling of being in a fight but now wasn’t one of those times. The speedster took a deep breath before tapping the side of his waist, “Clock up!” With those words the large invisible sphere of influence that was Zone centered on himself before expanding outward encompassing a large area catching the sea dwelling creatures within his action radius. The familiar feeling of the would-be hero’s quirk surged through his body like thousands of lightning bolts rushing through his veins, the grin on Leo’s face grew “Aight you crustacean creeps time for round one!”  TAGS Aimoto Momo NOTES Abilities Being Used: Speed Strength  Zone: Action Radius, The Path of Heaven

Good job, Momo! He believed you!

Of course she thought that Leo believed she had such a totally incredible plan right from the start. Why else would he have been grinning so much if not? It wasn’t like he was a few bugs short of a swarm. Right? Right! Plus he had even made her not-plan better. Her not-plan didn’t have burgers. Now it did!

“For the burgers!”

That was Momo’s battle cry which followed after Leo as he dove right back into the fray. Momo turned her attention elsewhere. To the civilians specifically. They probably didn’t feel particularly reassured or honored that Momo implied they were helping for burgers, but beggars couldn’t be choosers.

One such beggar was seconds away from being pinned beneath pincers. Momo wasn’t as fast as Leo. Not by a long shot. She wouldn’t make it in time. At least, not as she was. She felt guilty for what she was about to do because it was technically illegal. But Leo was doing it judging by his shouting from down the beach and there were exceptions for self-defense… at least Momo thought there was. It was hard paying attention in class. Either way, it’s not like anyone was going to handcuff her for helping out. Right?

Right!

The air around Momo lit with hundreds of tiny bright lights that solidified into a cloud of ladybugs. The spanned the distance between herself and the oceanic offender. Energy pulsed through Momo, quickening her body even as it was leeched, unbeknownst to Momo, from the creature. An ebb and flow of their own. She became faster as it slowed down. It was just enough for her to reach a woman screaming beneath its rocky frame.

“Take my hand!”

The woman didn’t need to be told twice. She grasped Momo’s outstretched hand through the haze of insects. Momo might have been faster, but she wasn’t stronger. So it took a lot of effort for her to yoink the woman out of the way through the sand. She managed it somehow and they were both on their feet and running quick as could be.

“Get away from the beach!”

Momo was good at stating the obvious.
