Chapter Two
Rescue
As soon as I ran in I used my one of my quirks, Gate, to teleport to the top of the tallest building I saw. I quickly found where most of the enemies were. I teleported to them and hastily took them out with another one of my quirks, Natural Disaster. There were stone spikes everywhere that a robot had once stood. I smiled. I was getting quicker. I teleported to the top of another building and repeated the process multiple times.
"68….69….70!" I had finally reached 70 points. After so many "villains" were taken out, all I could find were one-point robots. I went to the top of another building and looked for where most people were. It might seem counteractive, but they could end up leading me to more enemies. I easily found a big group of people. I teleported towards them and start looking for more robots.
I was lucky enough to find another three-pointer and there was even a one-pointer near by! I was looking for more enemies to "take care of" when there was a huge crash. I ran towards it, curious to see what had caused the commotion. I didn't have to go very far. Right in front of me there was a gigantic zero-point robot. Everyone was running away in panic. I should have too, there's no reason to destroy it since it's zero points and quite difficult to defeat, but something was holding me back, figuratively and literally speaking. There was gum on my shoe and I couldn't seem to get it unstuck. Was this karma for switching my blueberry muffin with Sensei's chocolate chip muffin this morning? I grunted in frustration and took off my shoe. It wasn't worth it.
I started to run away when I saw something familiar. I stopped and turned around, sure enough, there was the boy I had accidentally knocked over this morning. Everyone had run away but he looked as if he was going to try and fight the robot. I tried to look for something that was making him even think about fighting this robot. Then I saw her. The girl that stared at me this morning. Her legs were stuck under debris. I could get the debris off of her, but who knows if she could manage to get away from the robot that was quickly approaching.
The boy began to run towards the robot and I ran after him to stop him. I didn't know what his quirk was or how powerful it was, so who knew if he could even take this robot out. We had to make a plan, not just to save the girl but also, so that he wouldn't get hurt either. As I ran towards him it was like somebody lifted a veil. Of course, how could I have been so blind! It was obviously Deku from so many years ago. How had I not noticed it? The curly hair with the green ting at the tips, the freckles, the green eyes, and the plain looking face, could it be anyone other than childhood friend, Midoriya Izuku? But, Izuku… he was born without a quirk… U.A. … why is he here? Unless, maybe he's like me?
There were so many thoughts that went through my brain in those seconds it took to catch up to him. Now we really needed a plan or else… "Izuku," I said as a grabbed his arm, "can you control your quirk?" He looked at me with an expression of pure shock.
"How… wha—what are you ta-ta-talking about?" He responded, looking nervous but trying to play it cool.
"Izuku, we don't have time. Can you control it or not?"
"I don't know."
"Ok. I'll get you up there so you cause minimal damage to your body. The rest is up to you since I have to get the girl out of the debris. Ready?" I made the ground he was standing on a tower that had him face to face with the robot.
"Go!" I shouted up to him. Then I wasted no time teleporting to the girl. I lifted the rock off of her and carried her away bridal style. She looked up at me and I finally really looked at her. She had a medium length brown bob and dark brown eyes. She was cute in the same way that a puppy is cute, not that I'm attracted to her but it just describes her appearance well. I was snapped out of my thoughts by another huge crash. I had to hurry, "Hold on to me tight," I told the girl and I teleported us a safe distance away.
I looked up to see Izuku, with a broken arm and two broken legs, falling towards the ground and the robot falling to the ground in the opposite direction. It seemed like he had leaped towards the robot, breaking his legs, and then punched the robot, breaking his arm. The force of his attack must have also knocked him off the tower I made.
I couldn't save him, my body was too weak from all the teleporting and switching between quirks. I turned to face the girl, "I can't save him. I can teleport you to him and then it's up to you," She nodded her agreement. I nodded and teleported her right next to where he was going to fall. As soon as we were there, I fell to the ground. My body was too weak to keep holding me up. I watched as he continued to fall until suddenly the girl slapped him. I would have laughed but I was too tired. She set him on the ground carefully and then proceeded to throw up. Looks like both of our powers have certain limits. When he was finally safely on the ground, he began to crawl away. I don't know what happened next because, well, I passed out.
I open my eyes, I'm in what I'm pretty sure is the infirmary. I wake up to see a familiar face, Recovery Girl. She and Sensei are close friends so she's been to our house a few times before. She smiles when she sees that I'm awake again.
"It's been a while hasn't it, Toki." She says softly.
"I guess so, anyways, Shuzenji-sama, what happened after I passed out?" I asked her.
"Well, it turns out that the boy, Midoriya, took out the robot, but he had gotten no points. When you passed out it was only a few more seconds until the end of the exam."
"Why did he do it? I understand he wanted to save the girl, but before noticing her, why didn't he just run away?"
I don't know Toki. That Midoriya boy sure is special."
"Wait, that also means he didn't pass," I thought about it for a second. He may not remember me and we had been friends many years ago, but I still had this strange urge to look out for him, "Is there anything I could do to help him? Could give him some of my points?"
Shuzenji-sama laughed, "The girl that he saved, Uraraka, she asked the exact same thing. I'll tell you what Present Mic told her. There's no need to give him any points. I know you're confused, but you'll understand later. Now, you should be on your way, I'm sure Naoto must be worried." It was strange to hear Sensei's name. I had only ever called him Sensei. What she said was true, Sensei tended to worry about me when I wasn't home at the time I told him I would have be. I said goodbye to Shuzenji-sama and took the bus back home.
