Chapter Nine: Bryce's Plan

Bryce was at a table reviewing his plan with several empty coffee cups in the trashcan next to him and more still brewing right in the corner of the room "Oh there you are Bryce I was looking around for you" Mina said happily "oh sorry mina I was up all night thinking of a plan to defeat Seraphim and pass" Bryce said tiredly "you know that aint really healthy" Mina replied "eh i don't really care" but come have a seat i'll discuss the plan" Bryce said waving mina over. As Mina sat down Bryce started talking "so what i've seen from Seraphim when I was training with him he aint really the brightest of heroes" Bryce said as Mina sighed in relief "wait how do you know" mina asked "back when I was training with him he gave me a tape that for some goddamn reason could summon a small thundercloud that hits whoever listen to it with electricity when he meant to give me a music tape" bryce said with a blank expression "anyway so since I can fly I will scout out and find Seraphim as soon as I find him I will teleport to you BUT the thing is he can also find us since he has the same quirk as me but awakened he would be able to sense our emotions and locate us so we would have be emotionless if even one of us has the slightest emotion this whole operation could backfire but there's another problem I need to feel determined to use my quirk so that's where Chara comes in since she can put out barely any determination and still use my quirk-" Bryce says as he gets interrupted by Chara "OUR quirk" Chara said "whatever anyways i'll let chara in control to scout and to teleport to you then i'll take control anyway sorry if i'm pressuring you but anyway i've noticed that your pretty fast when you surf on your acid so you'll surf around Seraphim distracting him then i'll grab him with my dt hands IF by chance he notice me then we'll fight him head on until he's tired then i'll latch onto him you will run up and put the cuffs on him it will pretty much be the same thing if he doesn't notice me but without the fighting" Bryce explained "wow thats alot" Mina said "yes but its our best bet." Bryce said as his eyes glowed a bright red from how much determination he was experiencing. "Um hate to ruin your mood but didn't you say he has the same quirk as you but awakened wouldn't that mean he's stronger than you?" Mina asked. "Shit your right" Bryce said as he started to have a flashback to his alone training for the fight. Bryce was sitting on a bench thinking of ways he could be stronger. "What if I were to ignore all other emotions besides determination?" Bryce said as he began to try it out he began to become a red figure and moved at incredible speeds but he could tell it was draining. He was able to dodge everything while running back to U.A. He was drawing a lot of his determination until he finally said enough after he hit a tree. He sparked up with a big red aurora and a smile "he may be better at using my quirk-" bryce said as he was interrupted by Chara again "OUR-" "SHUT UP CHARA anyway he may be better at using OUR quirk but i have a secret move" Bryce said with a proud look on his face and a thumbs up. "Well, let's hope it works," Mina said with a smile and a thumbs up back.

Max was on the side playing with liquid shadow. He used shadow mimic on Toyo's quirk since it is a producer type. Max has never been able to do this before because he has never met a person who could manipulate their quirk after producing it. Max was practicing hardening the shadow liquid as he got an idea. Max has been working on a way to awaken and for Kate to awaken. His problem is that he was in too many life threatening acts too early in life. Max thought that if he can increase his blood flow during a life threatening act he will awaken, Shadow blood can be controlled but has restrictions. Max picked up his phone and posted what the next sighting of the "Nightmare Killer' is going to be in a few days. He hopes that the high ranking hunters will get him. Max's right arm is still his skyte metal arm and he learned that it is nearly impossible for him to fail in his ability as long as it is within his arm. Max could feel the heat from his shadow fire which was impossible when used without his skyte metal arm. Max touched the ground and a shadow covered the area. From the shadow comes a Mi-28NM attack helicopter. He made the guns hide and got in. Max flew around the city as he looked at the sites. Max drove to an island that is a hideout of a gang that abuses their power for fun and kills for no reason, in fact the group is wanted on the hunters association board and the assassin association wants them dead. Several balls of fire and other various ranged attacks came at the helicopter but the aim was terrible. Max armed the chopper and let the missiles fly. The missiles cause a multitude of explosions. Max armed the Ion cannon and fired it at the island. The blast completely destroyed the island as the island was no more. Max got away before the media came. Max went to his own Island that he got as a tip for one of his targets. The chopper landed and Max was trying to think of things he could do. Max remembers a movie where a black substance can control and enhance its host. Max tried and could only make two out of his skyte metal arm. The reason was because it required a lot of power for shadows to exist in the light. Max brought a couple of huskies out of his house which were his pets. He made the liquid cover the dogs and enhance them but did not take control. The liquid covered the dogs and melted into them. The dogs then produced feats that did was not possible by even most people with quirks. The dogs had a mode that covered themselves in a black liquid body that greatly enhanced the strength and endurance of the dogs. But this mode cost a lot of energy so it was more of an emergency mode. Max was having fun with his experiments and played with his dogs.
