I just want to say that I'm so happy you like what I have written. (Or so I think because this is third chapter!) So let us continue the story!


Chapter 3: Sewers and a cramped room

Sharp and cold ice shards flew everywhere when Dark Shadow crushed the ice wall. The three villains covered their faces from ice shards as Todoroki and Tokoyami leaped over them ready to run downstairs.

"This ice is so irritating!" Mole shouted and turned his hand into a drill bit. He tried to hit Todoroki but Dark Shadow guarded him, tossing Mole on the ground.

Dabi used his flames to attack the two of them, scaring Dark Shadow and forcing it to back away. Tokoyami gritted his teeth when the hot flames got too close.

Todoroki quickly blocked those flames with ice though it was a close call. He didn't stop the ice and made it go down the stairs so they could slide down fast.

When they got on the ice slide, Todoroki kept making a thick wall of ice behind them to slow down the villains.

"That was too close", Tokoyami stated nervously.

"Yeah", Todoroki said, shivering from using his ice side so much. He carefully warmed himself so the ice wouldn't melt under them.

They quickly reached the end of the slide and there was a wooden door in front of them. The boys got up and went to the door and Todoroki grabbed the handle and looked Tokoyami. Tokoyami nodded and Todoroki opened the door quickly ready to fight.

On the other side of the door was just an empty room with only four torches lighting the hollow room.

"What's with this room?" Todoroki wondered when they walked in. He also froze the door behind him just in case.

On the right wall was a door leading somewhere. Tokoyami went and opened it carefully. The corridor behind it was pitch black. "I think we should take some light with us. It's too dark to see and it would be difficult to control Dark Shadow in this darkness."

"Right", Todoroki agreed and they went over to two torches. They took one for each of them at the same time.

"What was that?" Tokoyami asked when he heard something click.

Before they could react, stone floor opened under their feet and they fell into a dark abyss.


"I hate my life just now", Jiro mumbled tired.

"Come on, it's not that bad!" Ashido cheered. "Though this smell is disgusting!"

"It smells because we are in sewers", Midoriya said holding his nose. "I'm glad we can walk on the edge of this tunnel. Without this higher foothold we would be wading in that suspicious looking water."

"And I'm sure that's the only positive thing in this whole situation", Jiro said shambling forward. "We HAVE to find an exit soon or I'll go crazy!"

"We will find an exit", Ashido said. "Right, Midoriya?"

Midoriya muttered something vague because he was in his thoughts. What was going on? They woke up in these sewers without any clue how they had ended up here. He was sure they shouldn't be here. They were supposed to be in the bus with everybody.

Midoriya couldn't remember clearly what had happened and neither did Jiro or Ashido. Now their only opinion was to find an exit and more clues about their location.

"Maybe I could melt an exit for us with my acid", Ashido suggested.

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea because we have no idea where we are", Midoriya warned. "Jiro, you said you can hear multiple noises above, right?"

"Well yeah but they are way high up", Jiro noted.

"We are not alone", Midoriya said. "That's why we shouldn't catch any attention even if we are in sewers."

"Okay", Ashido sighed dangling her head.

"So, Midoriya, get us out of here", Jiro decided. "You are our brains so I'm counting on you", she added before Midoriya could say anything.

Midoriya sighed in turn. He could smash through the ceiling with ease but that was out of question. They were in a tricky situation indeed. He'd thought that there would be many exits in sewers but he turned out to be wrong. They had only found small rooms with empty barrels and boxes, and cleaning equipment inside of them.

The sewers were old, Midoriya knew that because of the architecture. Other than that he couldn't think of any place they could be. If they would get outside maybe then he might find a clue what was going on.

Suddenly something heavy fell on top of Midoriya. He fell over to the hard rock floor, hitting his face on the cold stones.

"Midoriya!" Jiro shouted shocked.

"Todoroki?" Ashido asked confused, looking at the boy who was lying on top of Midoriya.

Todoroki lifted his head up and saw the girls. He seemed as confused as Ashido. Their attention moved on the other side of the dark water when Tokoyami fell down from the ceiling just like Todoroki.

"What?" Jiro stared.

Todoroki looked at them for a few seconds before he realized Midoriya being under him.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Todoroki quickly apologized and helped Midoriya to get up.

"It's- it's all right", Midoriya muttered rubbing his aching nose.

"Hey, sorry to interrupt but Tokoyami seems to bee in pain", Ashido pointed at Tokoyami who held both hands on his head and really seemed to be in pain.

Midoriya knew right away what was happening. This wasn't good.

"Todoroki, make light!" he shouted and Todoroki did like was told without any questions.

Bright flames from his left hand lighted the place. He made the fire strong enough to keep Dark Shadow at bay.

Tokoyami relaxed instantly and sat down to breath properly. "Thank you", he said eyes closed. "It happened so suddenly, and I got scared for a second. Of course Dark Shadow took his chance. I'm sorry."

"It's nothing. This place was quite dark to begin with", Todoroki replied.

"Yeah, it's nice to see your warm flames!" Ashido smiled. "We have been wandering these gloomy sewers for ages!"

"You have?" Todoroki asked. "Are you the only ones here?"

"Yes. We haven't seen anybody else", Midoriya told him. "What about you? Where did you come from?"

Todoroki explained what had happened before they fell in the sewers and that only he and Tokoyami were there.

"Those villains are here?!" Midoriya gasped. "This could explain some of the happenings."

"I agree", Todoroki nodded. "I think that they aren't going to find us because the way we came here is blocked", he pointed upwards at the hole. There wasn't any light. "We should be safe for now. Maybe..."

"That's good to hear", Ashido said relieved. "I really don't miss any villains right now!"

"We should get going and find the exit", Tokoyami said on the other side of the murky water as he stood up. Everybody agreed with him and so they continued, Todoroki's fire giving light on the way forward.

"Are you sure you can keep that up?" Midoriya asked Todoroki, watching the fire on his hand. "You have already used your quirk a lot, right?"

"I'm fine", he replied. "We can't let Dark Shadow go berserk here."

"Well yeah but don't overdo it", Midoriya worried.

"Wait!" Ashido shouted suddenly. "I see something! Over there!"

Everyone looked at the way she pointed. There was a small gap on the wall. They went to have a look and found narrow stairs leading up.

"Finally!" Jiro rejoiced. "Nice work, Ashido!"

"I'll go first", Todoroki said. "Tokoyami, come after me."

"Roger", Tokoyami said. Then came Jiro and Ashido and lastly Midoriya.

The stairs were steep and soon they got to a corridor leading left and right. There was nobody in sight which was probably a good sign. There were also torches on walls so Todoroki didn't need to use his fire any more.

"Jiro, can you hear anything?" Midoriya asked the girl.

Jiro stuck her plug-like earlobes in the wall and closed her eyes.

"I can hear something nearby but it comes from above", she told. "I don't think there is anybody here on this corridor except us."

"That's good to hear", Midoriya sighed from relief.

"Which way do we choose?" Tokoyami asked.

"Right maybe?" Ashido suggested and so they went to the right.


"May I ask how the heck did we end up here?" Kaminari asked.

"Shh!" Iida said. "We managed to escape the villains here so we must be quiet before it's safe to make a move."

"This is still a bit uncomfortable", Uraraka whispered.

"I agree with Uraraka", Asui stated.

"Don't complain now!" Iida ordered.

"You're talking out loud yourself", Kaminari muttered.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Iida replied still a bit too loud.

They were all in a cramped broom cupboard. They barely fitted in, Iida was pushed against the door and he listened to any sounds that would sound like villains who were chasing them. He heard many footsteps walking past the small room they were in. Before they ended up there, Iida, Uraraka, Asui and Kaminari were running away from couple of villains. They got away because of so many people being everywhere. They seemed shady in Iida's opinion. The people were dressed like they were in some kind of party. Really big one. Some of them would stare at them but most of them didn't pay any attention towards the four students. The whole place was really fancy, like a castle, but there were many modern things like electronic devices.

None of them had absolutely any idea how they ended up here or what was going on. Before they properly realized anything, they were running away from villains and after a short while they found themselves in this small and dark broom cupboard.

"I hear them", Iida said with lower voice and put his ear against the door.

"How could you be so careless?!" said a deep man's voice.

"Now it's my fault?" replied a saucy woman's voice. "It's your fault as well!"

"Use your quirk to find them! That shouldn't be a problem, right?" the man asked angrily.

"I'm not going to waste my wishes for something like this you know", the woman stated.

Iida couldn't make any more sense of what they were talking as they walked further away.

"They're gone", Iida whispered. "We should get out of here."

"Hey, I found something", Uraraka said. "There's a little secret door in the corner."

"Really?" Kaminari asked sounding excited.

"Yeah. I'm going through", Uraraka skilfully crawled on the other side of the secret door.

"Uraraka, wait!" Iida panicked. "Come back!"

"Huh?" Uraraka sounded surprised. "Hey, come here everyone!"

Asui agilely crawled after Uraraka and so did Kaminari and Iida. They came into a room filled with all kind of costumes one can imagine. The room wasn't big but mainly because of the large amount of clothes. I small light bulb hung from the ceiling.

"What is this place?" Kaminari asked confused. "Why is a room like this and a broom cupboard connected?"

"I have no idea but I don't care either!" Uraraka answered happily. "Look at all these clothes and wigs!"

"This really is weird indeed", Iida stated pondering.

"Maybe we could use these to hide our identities", Asui suggested.

"Great idea!" Kaminari grinned. "Then those villains won't find us that easily."

"Okay, everybody!" Uraraka declared. "Make yourselves as fashionable as possible!"
