The kid moves, barely fast enough to avoid Smasher driving him face first into the floor of the mall. As he pivots to strike again though, he sees the sparks and then—
The explosion rocks Smasher backwards, burning his chest plate and cracking his faceplate around the right eye. Damage, but livable. And the kid's just proven he does have bite.
This will be fun after all.
By the time Smasher turns back, Bakugou is already rising skyward towards the ceiling...how the fuck is he doing that? Optics focus in, scanning...
The kid's sweating nitro. How the fuck about that.
"Impressive artillery for someone your size. Never heard of gene-modes that let you sweat nitroglycerin. You piss jet fuel too? I'll admit, that surprised me."
Now he's raining blasts down from above. Hard to react. Movement restricted.
Unless—
Activating Sandevistan
The implant locked onto what's left of Smasher's spine engages, pumping him up, sending his reaction time into overdrive, and slowing everyone down as a consequence.
Smasher could walk through the blasts gently floating down from above, but that would be a waste. Instead, he leaps again, launching himself upwards, next to where Bakugou is, from Smasher's perspective, motionless in the air, and raises his arm to strike. He disengages the Sandy as his fist is already in motion.
Sandevistan timer: -3s. 7s remain.
From Bakugou's perspective, Smasher seems to suddenly move so fast it creates a phantom trail. In the blink of an eye the cyborg is next to him in the air and already in mid-strike.
