Hey all! So my favorite theme of writing that I like to do is "what if" fics and I was browsing through some MHA and noticed there wasn't a lot of what if fics on Bakugos kidnapping. So naturally, I decided to write one! Let me know what you all think, reviews are always welcome!
Chapter One - We Almost Saved Him
Song: Without You by Ashes Remain
The plan should have worked.
It was full proof in the sense that none of them would actually have to fight the villains, Izuku knew they didn't have a chance. His brain worked a million miles a minute that night despite the fear that coursed through his body. It was full proof…
...at least it should have been.
Bakugo gritted his teeth, trying to look as intimidating as possible, knowing full well his fear was giving away his facade. They want to teleport him away to their other hideout, but there was no way in hell that was going to happen he thought to himself.
His fists clenched tightly, trying his best to keep his distance from the villains that surrounded him. In moments like this, All Might would be smiling in the face of danger. But he was busy with All For One. He knew he just had to hold out, hope that All Might Will think of something or other heroes will show up.
"Dammit," Bakugo cursed to himself. "I'm slowing him down. I have to do something!" He kept dodging their attacks, growing tired as the minutes rolled by. Twice tried to get him from behind, but he set off an explosion to avoid him by going over him. He landed on the ground, his foot sliding beneath him as he fell to his hands and knees.
Toga saw this and lunged forward with her knife, but Bakugo was quick with his quirk as he exploded the ground, crumbling it to distract her and get away. He's exhausted, but he grunted as he continued to avoid all six of his opponents. Unbeknownst to him, Izuku watched as he struggled to hold off against the villains. The green haired boy gulped back his fear as he began to formulate a plan on how to get Bakugo out of there.
Bakugo landed once again on the ground after evading another attack, his wrists aching from how much he was using his quirk.
"There has to be a way," Bakugo said determinedly. "I have to just hold out."
"It's no use, Bakugo." Shigaraki taunted, gesturing to the Warp Gate that was behind him, still activated. "You'll come with us now."
Suddenly, a loud explosion distracted everyone. Bakugo looked as his chest pounded wildly at the sight of a familiar ice wall formed in front of him. The chill of it was a comfort in this instant.
"Half and Half?" Bakugo thought to himself then. He looked up and saw in the moonlight his three classmates all soaring through the air. His eyes widened as he recognized them all, his red haired friend turning to him meeting his eyes.
"Come on!" Kirishima yelled out. In an instant, Bakugo roared as he let out two huge explosions despite his wrists screaming at him. While in reality it happened in seconds, it was as if the four of them saw this all happen in slow motion.
Bakugo's eyes lit up as his hand outstretched towards Kirishima's. Izuku peaked over to see Bakugo as his chest filled with hope. All of theirs did…
...Bakugo gasped as a knife thrown from below pierced his right shoulder. He felt himself choke on a metallic taste as he instinctively clutched the wound. He realized the knife was thrown so hard, the tip was sticking out of his shoulder. Kirishima's smile disappeared into fear as Izuku's eyes grew wide in a panic. Bakugo's momentum in that moment was thrown off. No longer moving forward, he felt the weight of himself start to take him back to the ground.
In that millisecond, Bakugo in his last attempt reached out with his left arm. Kirishima's throat hitched when he realized he couldn't reach him. Izuku acted quickly and threw back his left hand, tears threatening to spill as his fingertips just barely grazed Bakugo's. The spiky haired blonde no longer was able to mask his emotions. All three teens saw the fear in his eyes, the panic evident in his features. Bakugo's body fell back towards the ground, and he watched as Izuku screamed out his name similarly to the last time he saw him. He clenched his eyes shut as he crashed to the ground. He finally screamed after hearing a sickening crunch of his ankle.
"Young Bakugo!" All Might screamed, immediately sprinting to try and get to the blonde. But it was useless as he was once again stopped by All For One.
Bakugo gasped heavily as he pulled the knife that pierced through the back of his shoulder. He shakily dropped it on the ground as he clutched his broken ankle. He realized he was trembling as he pushed himself up to his hands and knees. In the middle of the previously blown away field, he looked up towards the buildings in the distance, able to see Iida, Kirishima, and Izuku in the distance.
When the three landed on the building in the distance, Izuku immediately turned back and tried to run to Bakugo. A strong pair of arms held him from behind as Izuku began to sob.
"No!" He cried out as his chest hurt. "I have to go back!"
"We've been seen Midoriya!" Iida screamed at him. "We lost the element of surprise-"
"We were so close!" Izuku wailed. He finally collapsed to his knees out of Iida's hold and was gasping for air trying to think. Meanwhile, Kirishima stood numbly as his body trembled. A voice in his head scolded him saying it was his fault. "I-I have to think. We-we can still-I can. I can I-I need to-"
"What in the world do you think you're doing here Kid?" All three teens turned to the voice, and Izuku sprang to his feet towards his sensei.
"Gran Torino!" Izuku tried to stifle back his tears. "I-we were-"
"Zip it kid and get out of here," Gran Torino warned. "We'll talk about this later." And in an instant, Gran Torino was gone. But Izuku couldn't leave, not without knowing for certain. Iida knew as well he couldn't force the two teens to leave, so the three of them peaked from the rooftop, begging that Bakugo could still be saved. All they could do was helplessly watch the events unfold below.
His ankle hurt bad. Bakugo clutched at it extinctively as he struggled to his feet. He felt helpless; as he tried to stand up, the light pressure on his right foot caused him too much pain. He let out another scream as he collapsed on the ground again. He looked up towards the building he last saw the others and and could see their faces.
"That was close," Twice laughed. "Nice aim Toga."
Bakugo heard the girl laugh as he turned on his back. He grimaced seeing all six of them hovering over him. His gritted his teeth as he used his left hand to activate his quirk in as threatening manner as possible.
"It's time to go, Bakugo." Shigaraki said calmly.
"Screw you ass hole!" Bakugo screamed. He knew that they weren't buying his menacing act, but it was all he could do. He couldn't show him how scared he really was, he didn't even want to admit to himself how bad this could be.
"There has to be a way," Bakugo almost pleaded with himself. "It can't end like this! It just can't!"
"Young Bakugo!" All Might called out again. One For All attacked him once again when suddenly, a blur started attacking the villains, knocking them away from Bakugo. His crimson eyes widened when an older man appeared suddenly in front of him, startling him.
"It's gonna be alright now kid, don't worry."
"You're too slow!" All Might called out to him.
"You're too fast!"
In that instant, Bakugo let out that sigh of relief. Izuku's eyes filled with hope again seeing Gran Torino with Bakugo. They all felt that it was over; Bakugo was saved and that he was going to be rescued. But All For One had other plans.
One For All suddenly launched his red and black attack that All Might dodged until he realized he wasn't the target. His hit landed on the unconscious Kenji, using Forcible Quirk Activation: Magnetism. All of the Villains were suddenly thrown in through the Warp gate. All Might was even surprised that All For One was even throwing in Shigaraki. Bakugo watched numbly as the man pleaded with his master not to send him away. He thought that they just gave up trying to take him when suddenly, he felt something pierce through his shoulder through his already open wound.
Bakugo saw he was being thrown towards the warp gate. Panic set in as he heard All Might scream for him. Gran Torino rushed forward, but was stabbed by All For One's quirk. Bakugo clenched his eyes shut, his fear ridden scream threatening to escape his throat. Suddenly, Bakugo felt something grip his left hand. His eyes shot open and he saw Todoroki clutching his arm tightly.
"Don't let go!" He screamed at Bakugo. The blonde stayed silent, though any normal circumstance he would have shouted a snarky come back at him. Bakugo noticed that he wasn't being pulled in fully by the warp gate trying to pull the two teens in. He looked past Todoroki to see a rope tied to his ankle that lead back behind the same wall the others bursted out from behind.
But Shigaraki was still fighting back the warp gate too. His eyes grew wide in rage as he screamed in frustration.
"I won't fail!" The villain screamed as he gripped onto Todoroki's arm with all five fingers. Shoto's eyes widened as a blood curdling scream escaped his lips as his skin on his arm began to decay. His grip on Bakugo didn't loosen however, the boy refused to let go.
"Don't let go!" Todoroki scolded himself. "No matter how much it hurts, don't let go!" But the pain was growing, and Bakugo clenched his eyes shut knowing what he had to do.
"A true hero saves everyone," Bakugo thought to himself. "I can't let this bastard get Icy Hot too." He was terrified of the idea, but he couldn't take it anymore. He accepted his fate, and let go of Todoroki. With no grip on him, Bakugo slipped out of Todoroki's grasp pulling him and Shigaraki into the warp gate.
Todoroki crashed onto the ground. Clutching his arm, he looked up seeing nothing in front of him. He lay there numbly as All For One laughed in the distance. Watching the scene, both All Might and Izuku let out a blood curdling scream.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
I will update everyone! Please leave a review on what you thought!
