CHAPTER START---
"MAGIC!" Majestic yells out, throwing his arms forward and forming a ring of prismatic energy which the large golden chain bounces off of.
Before their eyes it seemingly moves as if alive and whips back to the other side of the room at incredible speed, directly at Cellophane.
As he quickly fires a line of tape to the side and pulls himself toward it, avoiding the attack, Team Majestic gets a proper look at the fight.
Gold Chain was hovering in the middle of the room. There were golden glowing chains of different sizes forming on his clothes which were glowing in the same color, some of them were attached to the walls, floor, and ceiling to keep him aloft.
But most of them were thrashing about to strike Cellophane and Mudman.
The man himself was thin as they saw, and plain looking for a Japanese man, his grill of golden teeth showing every time he growled at the heroes.
"Ladies, circle him, he can't have eyes everywhere," Majestic says as his team enters the fight.
Genesis and Rule break off to one side, opposite Team Horizon, while Lizardy takes a few of Rule's shrunken objects and begins floating them about the battlefield on tiny pieces of herself.
"What took you so long?" Madman says as he avoids a few strikes and is promptly joined by Majestic.
"Didn't think that---" Majestic forms two prismatic rings below them, quickly launching them both into the air to avoid chains sweeping the floor. "---your team would get here so fast."
"We get that a lot," Cellophane says as he's hanging from the ceiling, but fires two lines of tape to grab them both, pulling them away from a trio of chains fired at them like spears.
As they get out of the way, Gold Chain feels something hit the back of his head and winces, only for foam to immediately begin forming around his head.
"What the---" his head is shrouded in golden energy before a few tiny chains manifest on it, scattering to foam to the floor below.
Looking around he sees the female heroes on the battlefield, and locks his sights on Genesis.
"You---" another capsule flies directly at his face, only for a chain to manifest on his body and bat it away. "Annoying bitch, trying to choke me!"
He flings his arms forward, and a collection of sharp pointed chains manifest on his back and arc above him, raining down on her like arrows.
"Technically I was trying to suffocate you," Genesis says as she fires directly into his attack, but this capsule shatters and forms a smoke screen that seems to linger in the air around the man.
She leaps to the side as all the chains begin spreading out, and forms a tungsten tower shield to crouch behind, holding her ground as vibrations ring through her arms.
The golden chains shatter against the shield and dissipate before they fall to the floor.
"He can't see through the smoke, his targeting was off," Mudman says. "So we know he can't sense us with these chains."
"We need a minute to regroup," Majestic says. "Rule, Lizardy, hit him with something to take his focus or immobilize him."
"Rule, Lizardy," Mudman says. "Just like we practiced in school, maneuver 9!"
"We'll take his focus!" Cellophane says as he rushes off.
"Hardening it now," Mudman says as he deactivates his Quirk, sealing the man below.
"We need to take care of those wounds," Genesis says as Cellophane lands and sits on the floor.
"No time, that won't hold him for long," Cellophane says.
"He's right," Mudman says. "That guy is using trigger, he'll be out any second, we need a plan."
"Trigger, that explains why he's so much more powerful than we expected," Genesis says as she begins wrapping bandages around Cellophane's feet.
"He juiced up the moment he recognized us, guess he thought--- ahh!" Cellophane winces.
"Sorry."
"I guess he thought Horizon was gonna show up, lucky us," he sighs.
CRACK!
The stone floor begins to break apart, directly above Gold Chain.
"His Quirk, what is it?" Majestic asks
"Hard light constructs," Mudman says, "but he only makes those chains, different sizes and some things can be altered, but always chains."
"Do we have a plan?" Lizardy asks.
"Yeah---" the ground shakes as another crack forms. "Simon is on the way down, he finished downloading this gang's intel cache and treating his own wound, now he should have enough energy to shut this guy down."
CRACK!
A massive fissure forms in the stone floor as multiple gargantuan golden chains erupt from the ground.
"I thought trigger gets weaker over time," Majestic says while simultaneously forming energy rings below the students and moving them to safety.
"It should, but he's getting strong, this variation was purple," Cellophane says.
"Another unique formula," Lizardy grumbles.
They all continue to back away, with Cellophane being supported by Genesis, the adrenaline now dulling and taking his ability to stand with it.
"You know, I don't mind fighting villains," Lizardy says. "But stuff like this is why I'm a long range recon specialist..."
As the dust clears they see more and more massive chains forming, attached to thinner chains that expand the farther away they are from the villain's body.
"Dangerous things like this is why my wife also asked me to step back from being a frontline combatant," Majestic says as he takes a few steps forward.
"RAARGHHH!" Gold Chained pained cries echo through the room as the dust clears enough for them to see him, bleeding from his eyes that were glowing golden.
Majestic takes a deep breath and steels his will, glancing back at the students and giving them a thumbs up, "but don't worry, I was the #9 Pro Hero at one point, now I'll show you kids why..."
END CHAPTER---
I wrinkled my smooth brain this time and actually got her name right, sorry she just shows up so rarely I forget about that. Also, I re-read the manga recently so that didn't help...the last two arcs were...oof.
