It was a bit naive of Noa to think that there were only two enemies to deal with. The bird and giant worm were obvious, but she should have paid closer attention to the mounds around the area which, in hindsight, should have clued her in that something else was lurking there under the ground. In this case, a group of giant ants emerged from the mentioned mounds that blocked the path between her and her destination. To make matters worse, apart from their size, the ants could freeze water on contact. It was far from an ideal matchup. Still, dealing with unexpected bad developments was an everyday occurrence for heroes. She didn't let the situation cloud her observations. In this case, she noticed again that the insect-like creatures seemed to respond to the feathers that the bird-like creature was throwing around. She wondered if that meant the feathers were a weak point.

To test her theory, Noa quickly opened one of the water bottles he carried and manipulated a narrow stream of water to strike and break the feather stuck on the anthill. She would then wait and see if that action caused any changes in the ants while continuing to keep her guard up. That was her original plan anyway. While waiting for the results of her little experiment, one of the people teleported to this area with her was suddenly rushing to her side of the field, bat in hand.

Was he coming to help? It didn't take long to answer that question. With a big swing, they started smacking the ants with their bat cloaked in fire. Fire? That was certainly a useful coincidence. They introduced themselves as Marauder. That was not a name that Noa knew. But she would take note of it from now on.

"You can call me Waterfall. As the name implies, water is my thing, but I need a source. These ants are in the way of the biggest source here."

She pointed at the pond she was trying to go to. If this guy could superheat things as he claimed, then maybe her goal wasn't out of reach after all. The assistance was welcome and it would make the situation easier for her.

"Thanks for the help. Sooner or later, we will have to deal with that bird directly. Do you have anything in the way of ranged attacks? If not, then maybe I can give you a boost, provided you can trust me."

She was formulating a plan of attack in her head. To deal with enemies that could fly, they needed an approach that attacked from multiple directions or an unexpected angle. But she needed to know if her temporary allies would be on board. While all this was happening, Noa was focused on avoiding getting hit by the ants while keeping an eye on the bird in case it shot more feathers in their direction.

TLDR: Noa will shoot a stream of water at the feather on the anthill to break it and see if that would affect the ants. She would respond to Marauder's introduction with her hero name and the gist of her quirk. She will then ask if he has a way to deal with the bird. While all this is happening, she is dodging and avoiding any attacks from ants that would target her while refraining from attacking them herself.

Because she wanted to be as prepared as possible for whatever was waiting for them down there, by the time the giant water ball with Noa at the center reached the bottom of the pit, it had grown to the size of a small house from all the water she had gathered along the way. This entire time she had been focusing on growing the water ball because she was being extra cautious about running out of resources to use. At first the pit was almost pitch black. It was a big mistake to not have a light source on her besides her phone and she couldn't exactly take out her phone now. But even while her eyes couldn't make out anything, her other senses would let her know that they were definitely not alone. From the water content in their bodies, the things waiting in the darkness were about the size of large dogs. Or maybe they were tiny humanoids? Her water sense was not accurate enough to tell for sure. However when the glowing mushrooms began to sprout all around, she would soon get her answer.

It was spiders, or at least they looked like spiders. Water content in bugs and the like were very different from vertebrates and in this case, the 'creatures' in question were larger than what Noa was expecting. Even without counting their size, they weren't ordinary arachnids. They had what seemed like metallic exoskeletons, which the girl assumed meant that they were harder to squish than your typical bug. A few of them tried to shoot a web like substance at her that looked like liquid metal, but her water ball was keeping the 'web' from settling and hardening, getting dissolved and washed away as the water itself was constantly flowing around her. Well, she couldn't just hide in her water shell all day. She figured she ought to give themselves some space before the spiders completely surrounded them.

Focusing her power, Noa would shape part of her water ball into a large snake-like construct and proceed to sweep away and push back any spiders that came within her range. She would do this repeatedly until she was able to secure a 30 foot radius of 'safe space' around her for her and her allies to regroup and set up a perimeter. She was careful of course to not sweep away her fellow raid participants.

"I can hold these things back but we'll need a more permanent solution of putting them down. I'm open to suggestions!"

At the back of her head she was also considering if it was possible to drown these things. But she would probably need even more water than what she had at the moment if she wanted to get them all.

TLDR: Noa arrives at the bottom of the pit inside a giant water ball the size of a small house. She proceeds to use her water to wash away webs and sweep away and push back any spiders that approach. If anyone is close to her, she would be protecting them too.

To be honest, Noa had never worked with any of the people in this group before, so she personally had no clue about their skills and abilities or if anyone of them could even meaningfully follow-up after her attack on the Tide. When she saw that the first teammate to come over and help out was someone with a freezing quirk, she couldn't help but sigh in relief. The last time she faced this golem they also had an ice user on their side who proved pretty effective against the elemental. Barring any surprises, they should be able to settle this pretty quickly.

Of course the Tide wasn't the only threat. Someone else had shown up throwing explosives rather haphazardly at the rock golem. Noa didn't recognize them either but more helping hands were welcome. They were gonna make it out of this mess just fine. Or at least that's what she thought. She was oblivious to the doppelgangers giving the other people in this floor a hard time.

To ensure that her stripping down of the Tide was effective, Noa was keeping a close eye on the movements of water in the area. After all, if the water elemental simply sucked up the water again then her efforts would be useless. Apart from the ice user freezing the water she pulled away from the golem, she could also sense that the water on the floor itself was slowly but surely being drained in the direction of a large mushroom on the other side of the battlefield. That must be someone else's quirk at work too.

It eventually reached a point where the mass of the Tide became small enough that Noa felt her water manipulation would have no trouble moving them around directly if she pushed herself just a bit. There was no hard hitter here to smash the water golem into a million droplets so she would have to take care of that bit herself.

Focusing her power, she would use her water control to launch the Tide up into the air, with the goal of smashing it against the ceiling. If it somehow managed to maintain its form even after that impact, then part two of Noa's attack was to send it back crashing down to the ground, this time with her own force aided by gravity.

It was only after this that Noa noticed Rui move close to them, saying something outrageous about killing their friends. Their friends? Noa didn't know anyone in this team but she resisted the urge to mention that detail. Of course, she didn't recognize this person either. She had heard in the briefing that villains might show up here but were they actually a villain or just some troublemaker? Noa was still a little out of breath after that big attack so it would be bad if they suddenly attacked.

"This isn't the time or place to be playing games! But if you really can't help it, then it's more fun to pick on someone who can actually put up a fight right?"

As far as taunts go, Noa could have probably done better. But if she could keep the villain's attention from anyone who wasn't in good shape, then even keeping them occupied for a few seconds was not the worst effort she could make.

TLDR: Noa is too focused on her target to notice the other enemies in the room but acknowledges those helping her. Once enough water is stripped away from the Tide, Noa attempts to use water manipulation to slam it up into the ceiling and then crash it back down to the ground with the goal of breaking its body apart with force. Noa notices Rui nearby and attempts to keep their attention on her.

It was certainly an emergency, so if someone using their quirk unlicensed could end up saving lives then she wasn't going to complain about it. Those were basically Noa's thoughts as the captain explained their escape plan while making their way to the deck. When they got there however, they couldn't immediately just come out. It seemed the attacker of the ship was already being fended off by someone else. Noa recognized them as fellow passengers. One was a student and the other was a hero? She wasn't sure about the latter, but from what little she could observe, he seemed to be a skilled and experienced fighter.

She didn't know how long they were waiting there but the moment the tide of the battle turned in favor of the heroes, the captain gave the signal to come out. The captain's quirk was almost literally creating lifeboats, but because they didn't have any oars, Noa would be in charge of actually moving their small fleet. She would help with lowering people down to the lifeboats, especially those who were injured during the attack. And then once everyone was safely on board she would fulfill her role of directing all the boats to the island with her quirk. Fortunately the distance to the island wasn't that great. At the pace they were going, they would arrive in just a few minutes.

Although most of her focus was on getting the boats to safety, she couldn't help but divert part of her attention to the people who were fighting earlier and their attacker who was now bound and captured. It wasn't over until they were all back on land so she had to remain vigilant.

It seemed her Quirk was pretty effective against the unknown enemy. In fact it might have been too effective. This was probably the first time in her life that Noa had seen water disintegrate something on contact. Since regular insects didn't behave that way, she could only conclude even the physical form of the bugs themselves were created by another Quirk. Whoever they were, they weren't just taking control of real insects to do their bidding. At the same time the thing's movements were pretty clumsy. Th degree of autonomy offered by the enemy Quirk wasn't too great either. These were some useful bits of information to keep in mind.

With the immediate threat taken cared of, Noa's next course of action was to check on the status of the crew members unconscious in the room. If there were any injuries to patch up or if she could somehow wake them up with basic first aid techniques, that was what she would attempt to do. She was just about to examine the closest body next to her when suddenly the ferry shook violently, likely from a big impact outside. She grabbed on to the nearest railing to keep herself from falling over. Meanwhile with her free hand, she manipulated her water to wrap around all of the unconscious crew and secure them in place before they were thrown around by the shaking and possibly injured further.

Once the shaking had stopped, Noa would proceed with her initial plan of checking on the crew members and attempting to wake them up. CPR or a splash of water on the face. She would try whatever she could.

TLDR: Noa makes a mental note that the enemy Quirk seems to be weak against water. Grabs on to a railing while the boat was shaking to keep herself from falling over while also securing the bodies of civilians with her water. Once the shaking stops, she looks over the condition of the crew if they have any injuries and then attempts to perform first aid, CPR, etc. on the unconscious crew to patch them up or try and wake any of them up.

In all honesty, Noa never meant to take this particular ferry ride. She originally intended to get a ticket for the day schedule, but due to a mix up in the ticketing office, she ended up getting a ticket for the night boat. Because of the late discovery of the mix up, she was left with options of taking it anyway or canceling the trip altogether. She decided to just push through as finding free time on another day was not going to be easy for her.

She did notice that there weren't many people aboard when she got to the ferry. In a way that was good luck since she hated crowds. But that stroke of luck wouldn't last very long. Right as they neared the island that was their destination, the ferry seemingly experienced some kind of engine failure. She was inside when the attack occurred so she hadn't realized yet that a villain was threatening to sink them. Instead her first priority was to head to the bridge to inquire about the status of the engine and how soon they could get it moving again.

"Is the Captain around? What seems to be the problem with the engine? Sounds like there's commotion out there so the sooner we can go the better. I happen to be a UA Student so if there's anything I can do to help, let me know."

She would direct her query to the first deckhand she could find. It would be the last resort but if they needed her to move the boat for them, she would.
