Mitsuki Bakugou could only stare in pure horror at the screen as her son drops the gun onto the table, grips his hair and lets out a painful scream. She would do anything to be able to hold her baby boy in that moment. Never had she or her husband seen him hurting so bad. She could hear screams behind her, and looked to see a man with a tail holding his screaming wife as they are dragged out of the room. A woman who looked identical to the young boy who was killed first was crying into her knees sitting on the floor. She watched her old friend stand up and help the poor women to her feet, seeing as the police were having trouble. She heard Inko whisper something to her about getting her some tea in the kitchen and led the poor women to said kitchen.
Mitsuki looked up at her husband who had tears running down his face, not taking his eyes off their screaming son. Carefully she wiped them away and pulled him close tears in her own eyes. She felt a hand gently touch her shoulder as a cup of tea came into view. She wiped her eyes and gave the drink to her crying husband, taking the next one that was offered. "Thank you, Inko..." Her friend smiled sadly and nodded, picking her tray up and handing out the rest to anyone in the room who wanted one. Setting the rest on the table on the room she sat down with a cup herself before speaking "Our children would want us to take care of ourselves... They wouldn't want us to become dehydrated..."
Everyone in the room jumped as a man threw his tea to the ground, shattering the cup. It was the same man who reassured Mrs. Todoroki that his daughter would protect her son "How can we just sit back sipping tea, and watch our children kill each other one by one!?" He yelled. The room grew silent, The devastating look on Inko's face is what set Mitsuki off. "HEY! She was just trying to help everyone! Everyone is upset and horrified! I just watched my baby shoot and kill someone! Now we all have to listen to him screaming as his mind breaks! Inko's son is in there as well yet shes doing everything she can to assure us all! Shes more like your daughter then you are! Shes thinking of others while you just shattered your daughters cup!" She screamed, pointing at the shattered glass. The man looked down, his face falling as he sees the carved name inside the broken glass. His baby girls neat writing spelling 'Kyoka Jiro' With music notes on either end. He dropped down to his knees, carefully picking up the pieces as his tears fell into the spilled tea. "I- im sorry..."
Inko sat on her knees beside him and helped clean the mess, she shook her head and used her quirk to pick up the small pieces of the cup and set them in his hands "we know your upset and worried, you have every right to be... Just, maybe try to remember that everyone in here has a child beside your daughter..." he could only nod, sniffling and staring at the cup. His wife brings over a small sandwich bag to place the pieces into. She nodded to the short green haired women and took her husband to where they were seated. They all turned to the screen as the hollow voice of the Villain began to speak. No one had realized when the screams from bakugou stopped, the scream just automatically echoed in their minds.
"Now! Let me explain in more detail how our games going to play! Since this young man running his mouth off got him volunteered to begin the game, this will be the starting point!" He then pointed left of where bakugou was sitting, every parent seeing their children's terrified faces grow more so. "The line will go like this!" he set the gun down in front of Asui "First Asui! Then Koda, Ashido, Shoji, Todoroki, Hagakure, Kaminari, Jiro, Tokoyami, Yaoyorozu, Kirishima, Oraraka, and then Midoriya! After him the circle repeats until all but one remains!" He listed as he walked around the circle, slapping a hand on each persons shoulder as he said their names. The parents could only stare as some of their children let go of what little they had in their stomachs onto the floor beside them. The frog like man stood and asked for a police officer to take his children away from the room, who cried and protested as the lady officer drug them both away. He new his daughter couldn't kill a friend, and really didnt want the children to see their sister die. He stood beside his crying wife and watched as the gun was set in front of their daughter.
The villain pointed to a wall and bright red numbers suddenly appeared. It was a countdown "This clock will count down from a hour, giving each of you a hour to decide who you would like to kill! If the timer hits zero, then you yourself will die slowly and painfully for a whole hour making your friends all watch!" The happiness in his voice chilled everyone to the bones. No one expected Todoroki to look directly at the camera, as if he was staring at the parents sitting in their dorm house "What are the cameras for?" The villains smile grew "Thats for the whole world to view your little game! Its on live right now, the world has been watching everything thats happened so far. Tokoyami caught on first, eyes growing huge "You plan on making our parents watch us be killed..." The villain nodded, never loosing his smile "You catch on fast birdy boy!" He points to the two dead bodies splattered on the table "and already two families have watched their children be murdered! Wave hi to mommy and daddy kids!"
The parents watched as their children all turned their heads to the camera that they were watching threw, they guessed something on their end showed which one was filming "M-mommy?... D- daddy?..." Uraraka's parents almost burst into tears at the sound of their daughters voice. She sounded so tired, so... so broken... The villain once again smiles, his voice snapping the children's gazes from the camera to the man "Oh, by the way police! Just to make things more interesting every time one of these kids die, I will release a hint as to were we are located!" The parents gasped. A hint? So they will become closer and closer to finding them! But, at the cost of one of their lives.
"SO!" The villain yells, his smile more insane as more fear from the children leaked off them "Everyone knows the rules! Let the games officially begin!"
Asui stared at the gun, her whole body racked in fear. Bakugou has completely shut down beside her from his turn. She couldn't stop the tears from sliding down her face. She has never touched a gun, and she never wanted to. Kirishima couldn't take it anymore and glared at the villain, however thanks to his fear the glare wasnt as fierce as he would like it to be "Stop this! Please dont make her do this! What have we ever done to deserve this!?" The villain didnt move from where he took his seat behind a wall of glass, he looked over at the boy "If you want to save her the trouble, then please be my guest and lift your ass up!" he yelled making the red head flinch.
Asui saw the timer was going to fast for her liking, slowly she placed her hands on the gun. She heard some people gasp, Hagakure still crying from when Ojiro was killed. Izuku spoke up, shocking the entire class "A-Asui, you- you can shoot me..." they all turned to him looking at him like he just sprung out wings. He continued to speak "The more of us that die, then the more chances their are of the rest of you surviving. Two people have already been killed, so that means they already have two clues right? And Mr. Aizawa isn't with us, and the villain didnt admit to killing him. That means hes alive... Hes looking for us all our teachers and the police are searching for us right now!" He turns his head towards the clock ticking down "If we wait till the very last second to use the gun, then that just gives more time for the rest to be rescued right?" that snapped Bakugou out of his shock
"So why the FUCK do you have to be the one to die shitty Deku!? It should be me! I just- I just killed-" He began to shake again and looked at the dead body across from him. Kaminari spoke up "B- but if we follow that trend then we might as well kill ourselves!" Shoji's eyes turned to everyone "No one should have to die in the first place. Were class 1A from UA, the most elite school for heroes. We should be able to figure out a way out of this!" Everyone noded letting Shoji's words soak in. They were heroes! Not villains! They dont take lives they save lives! The more they thought along those lines, the more hope filled there chests. Yaoyorozu smiled slightly, being the only vice president left she felt it was her duty to keep the class spirits up. "Right now as we sit here, All Might is probably searching high and low with Mr. Aizawa and the whole police force for us. They will find us. We cant allow ourselves to fall into the ways of the scum villain thats taken us" She looked around the table "Iida would be flinging his arms at all of you for loosing hope, and as our vise class president I cant sit back and allow all of you to be so down. We cant dishonor the lives that have already been taken from us, we will not let their sacrifices be in vein!"
Everyone nodded, all who were crying have now stopped and only showing pure determination on their faces. The class nods in agreement and begin looking around, trying to come up with a plan to get out of this mess. They all jump when a loud buzz goes off, looking at the clock they realize they only have thirty minutes before someone else is killed.
Asui stares at the gun in her hands. Maybe shes in a nightmare? Maybe she will wake up from this nightmare when the timer hits zero. She looks over at her green haired friend. He was willing to sacrifice his life if it meant one of his friends got a extra hour to live. Tears fell down her face and slowly began raising the gun in his direction. Izuku was to busy studying the room, trying to see past the bright lights if there was a vent or a window. Anything to help them. Jiro was the first to notice the frog girl raising the gun at the boy, she gasped in panic "Asui what are you doing!?" That got everyone's attention, they all turned to the girl and saw her, ever so slowly point the gun at their friend. Izuku looks to see and when he sees the oh to familiar sight of the gun pointed at him, his eyes grow wide. When he sees how broken his friend is, how shes on auto pilot his hero instincts kick in. He did the last thing any of them thought he would.
He smiled his brightest smile at her.
"Its ok Asui, You dont have any other choice..." He looked at the camera sadly as tears fell down his face "Im so sorry mom, I love you please remember that" With his head facing the camera, he yet again smiled threw the tears, trying to be brave. His classmates were screaming, bagging her not to do it.
"Please Asui theirs got to be a different way!"
"Asui dont do this!"
"Dont pull the trigger!"
"DEKU!"
The gun went off.
For the past hour, all might sat in his vehicle driving to the hospital Aizawa was in. Aizawa had called him, asking for All Might to come sign him out. He new more then anyone how much the students meant to him. Aizawa has shown time and time again he will happily die for his students. This time he almost did. Both him and Present Mic. Last year Aizawa kicked an entire class out of school simply cause he didnt like them, this year hes nearly died for them. He wondered if Aizawa was watching the Live broadcast. It seemed like everyone was glued to a screen watching. If All Might wasnt driving he would of been watching as well.
Once All Might arrived to the hospital and parked, he began filling out the release papers at the front desk. The Drs and Nurses didnt need an ID from the blonde, he is the number one hero after all! Anyone could recognize him in an instant. After he filled them out he went to the room where Aizawa and Present Mic were being heavily guarded. Getting the ok to enter, he opens the door to the sound of the TV blaring the news channel. Filling in the world on what was happening with class 1A. He sees Aizawa sitting in a wheelchair beside Present Mics bed, staring sadly at his long time friend.
Aizawa looked like he was dead, which with a bullet to the head he should be. His head was still wrapped tightly, as well as most of his body. He had a big oxygen mask strapped to his face to help him with his ragged breathing. He looked far more tired then All Might had expected, considering the mans been in a coma for eight days. Once Aizawa sees the over grown man in the doorway he points to the TV "have you been watching the feeds?" All Might shook his head, fearful on what he was about to be told. If this is how hes first approached from the man in the wheelchair, something must of happened "No, I came as soon as I hung up on you after you called to come get you. I didnt want to be a distracted driver" Aizawa nods at this, then looks at the man "The last time you watched, were the kids awake yet?" As All Might shakes his head, Aizawa looks back at Present Mic.
"Two more have died since you last saw then" His voice laced with pain. All Mights chest froze. Two more? But, how? Why?... Who?... All Might didnt realize he was speaking out loud until Aizawa answered his inner questions. "Aoyama lifted himself off his chair, causing a shot gun strapped behind his head to go off. As for the second... The villain forced Bakugou to shoot Ojiro" All Might looked pissed, more pissed then Aizawa has ever seen "They are fifteen year old children! This is sick even for a villain! This is plain up cruel!" Aizawa nodded in agreement. "The villain explained the rules to the kids and the world as well, they have to go around the circle with a gun and either shoot someone else or shoot themselves. They have a one hour time limit, if they dont choose anyone they slowly die for an extra hour forcing everyone to watch. And for each dead student a clue on their location will be released. Who the hell could come up with this sick of a game? No human being thats for damn sure!" All Might couldn't agree more. They sat their in silence, thinking of the students. Twenty minutes had passed when they finally began to speak again.
All Might turned off the TV and looked at his friend "We should get going, you said the police have two clues already?" Aizawa nodded as the blonde went behind him and began to push him into the hall. As they passed the security one grabbed All Mights shoulder "Wait, you both need to hear this!" He turned his phones volume up so both men could hear better and handed Aizawa the devise. The screen showed the live broadcasting, showing both their dead and alive students around the table. It was All Mights first viewing of the dead students and he covered his mouth by reflex. Then they heard the surprisingly strong voice of Yaoyorozu come threw "Right now as we sit here, All Might is probably searching high and low with Mr. Aizawa and the whole police force for us. They will find us. We cant allow ourselves to fall into the ways of the scum villain thats taken us". Aizawa and All Might couldn't believe their ears, Their students were waiting for them, their students all new they were coming. They worst part however is the fact that they wernt, they were just starting. They were letting their students down. The guard took his phone back and smiled "Even your students know your coming for them, so hurry up and do so! Bring these kids home All Might! Eraserhead!" All guards did a salute to the two men who were speechless. All Might smiled and noded "Of course we will! We will not give up until we know they are safe!" Aizawa nodded in agreement.
All Might began to push Aizawas chair down the hall again, all who were in the hall moved out of there way. They were going to bring there students home, and they were going to make sure each one was safe! As all hope was high threw out the hall, It was quickly popped and replaced by a sickening feeling as voices suddenly yelled from the guards phone that still played the live feed. "Asui dont do this!" "Dont pull the trigger!" "DEKU!" followed by the echo of a gunshot going off. All Might stopped walking, his legs going weak. No, no way this couldn't be... Izuku Midoriya... His student, his son, was just killed... All Might didnt know when or how he ended up on the floor, on his knees behind the wheelchair. But he was literally slapped back to reality, courtesy of Aizawa himself. "If you shut down now then the rest of the students will die! They are all waiting for us! If we dont go to the police station to help search for them then your to blame for the rest of the students deaths!" His voice grew softer now, looking at the man "All Might, everyone knows how special Izuku was to you. He wouldn't want you to be like this you hear me? He has a mother who is now all alone, she will need someone to watch over her" All Might suddenly realized what Aizawa meant. The woman had nothing now, she had nothing to live for. All Might had to make sure, for Izuku, that she didnt do something she would regret.
He nodded slowly and got onto his feet, legs shaking slightly. He looked at the man in the chair and fire filled his eyes "Lets go hunt down these bastards!" Aizawa smirked lightly "Now thats the hero I know"
When they arrived at the Police station, they were nearly trampled by a man running fast out the door. The whole building was buzzing with people running and talking everywhere. All Mights friend Tsukauchi was standing with his back to them, staring at a large board. The board had photos, news clippings, notes, and string everywhere. A photo of every student was shown on the board, each student with a big smile or at least a happy look in their eyes in Todorokis case. However on the photos of the deceased a red X was placed over their faces. Aizawas eyes followed to each crossed out face. Iida, Mineta, Sero, Sato, Aoyama, Ojiro, and- The man gasped, eyes growing wide. All Might must of seen it as well, the same time he did. The seventh student killed wasnt Izuku Midoriya.
It was Kirishima
Tsukauchi turned and saw both stunned men behind him, and smiled sadly "Im glad you both could make it, we need as many people as we can get to crack these so called 'Clues' the Villain has supplied us with" When he noticed neither of the men were actually in the room with him, he followed to where their eyes led and his stomach dropped "Oh god, did you guys not watch the feed?..." Both men slowly turned their heads, Aizawas voice cracking as he spoke "W- we heard it, we heard Uraraka yell Deku and the gun go off. How- How did Kirishima, he was two seats down from Midoriya..." Tsukauchi nodded "Asui had the gun aimed at Midoriya, who gave her permission to shoot him. But then Kirishima suddenly broke his chain with his quirk and jumped in front of the bullet, the shotgun went off hitting him in the back. The other bullet hit in the throat, he died in the middle of the table with his hand reached out... He sacrificed his life for his friend..."
All Might looked at the wall of photos. In another hour or any second another student was going to be killed. Either at the hands of a friend, or by themselves. His eyes searched the board. The newspaper clippings were of potential Villains that could be the Red eyed man that has them, all very good suspects. However by the notes attached to them none of the quirks match up. On one side showed the clues, which is why they were there. Aizawa read them out, also staring at the board "Clue Number One: Forgotten, Clue Number Two: War, Clue Number Three: Underground. These are the clues that were released after the three students passed at the table?" Tsukauchi nodded "We haven't been able to figure out much yet, but the last one is extremely helpful however. We now know they are somewhere underground. Only problem is that could be anywhere underground" All might stared at the clues, they had to match up somehow. His eyes grew wide "could they mean underground war bunker?" Tsukauchi gasped and snapped his fingers "It has to!"
He began yelling at his team to bring up the locations of every war bunker in the country. There were way more than they could of imagined. Hundreds just around the area they were standing, by now who knows if the students were still in japan. A woman ran in smiling holding a file "I think I know who our villain is!" That was one of the best things they could ever hear, she began explaining "Its all in the photo Izuku Midoriya had taken, getting it more analyzed they found this!" She shows a pix-elated photo of a strange logo, it was round with what looked to be a tiger or lion roaring in the middle. Aizawa's eyes widened recognizing it "The roaring tiger gang?..." She nodded slowly "based off that we looked in their profiles and found a man with red eyes with a finger snapping quirk. One snap of his fingers causes a sound wave to set off. Anyone in ear shot will be instantly knocked out for hours depending on the person. The name he always went by is-" "Crimson Blood, the brother of Pro Hero Crimson Riot" Aizawa finished, she just nodded.
All Might was more then confused "Wait, who is this roaring tiger gang? You know them Aizawa?" He just looked at the man "You dont? They were the number one most deadly, cruelest gang alive. They ruled for years, as soon as they were finally taken down however they were instantly killed. Those monsters wernt suppose to be aloud to live another second after they were finally captured" He looked down at his hands, both clenched in tight fists "I was there the day they were captured and killed, I saw them all be killed! How, how could they be alive?" Tsukauchi looked at the man who sat in a wheel chair "Aizawa, i know this is personal, so maybe-" the glare the injured man gave could kill someone "One of the roaring tigers killed my younger sister, the last living family member i had. And now they are killing my students, If you dare say im off this case i will go find them myself!" Tsukauchi could only nod, making sure to step away from the man. They were all interrupted by a yell threw out the building.
"Everyone! Its the students! They ran out of time!"
The students of class 1A stared at their dead friend on the table, stretched out in front of Izuku. His blood pooled around him from both places the bullets had hit him. Izuku's eyes were huge, not able to take his eyes off the leaking whole in his friends neck. Asui dropped the gun, tears poring down her face as she cried "I- Im sorry! Im so sorry! I- I had to, my family needs me-" she sobbed, hands over her face. Once the shock of it all washed away, Ashido couldn't stop it as a panic attack hit her hard, gasping for breath she closed her eyes tightly shaking her head fast "Th- this is to much! I wanna go home! Please! Someone save us! Please! We dont want to die!I dont wanna see this anymore!" Koda quietly tried to help calm her, being as he was sitting beside the poor girl. Kaminari stared at his best friends as the tears wouldn't stop "we just wanted to help people... We just want to be heroes and save people! Why are we being punished for that!?"
Uraraka looked to her best friend, who was in a trance. Being careful she reached over and took his hand into her own. He jumped at the sudden contact, looking over at her. She looked into his gazed over eyes "It wasnt your fault Deku, please..." 'Please dont leave me alone'. He squeezed her hand and looked at her as the gaze in his eyes washed away, nodding as if understanding her silent message. He hadn't even thought of how she would feel about him trying to sacrifice himself for the group. He leaned forward slightly to see around her, looking at Kirishimas now empty chair. Something clicked. Nothing happened when he used his quirk to escape the chain. Was that a bluff to make them behave? However the shot gun did go off. That could of been from him jumping off the chair however and not actually him using his quirk as well. Izuku didnt realize he was mumbling out loud until he heard a rough whisper beside him "You on to something Deku?" Bakugou asked, his throat sounded raw. It was most likely from him screaming after- after it happened...
Izuku nodded slightly and whispered back "Did you notice when the shot gun went off?" Bakugou just shook his head "It happened so fucking fast" Izuku nodded in agreement. It all happened in a second. He looked around the table "Ashido, please you need to breath and calm down. We all need to calm down and think clearly. All Might and Mr. Aizawa are coming, and our families and loved ones are waiting for us at home" "So were Kirishimas and they just watched their son be killed! Face it Midoriya, this is it... Were all going to die here..." Kaminari says, making everyone unconsciously look towards the camera.
"Do you think they really are watching us?..." Ashido asks quietly, Tokoyami nods and looks at the girl "of course they are, and right now they are wishing they could be here to tell you to calm down as well" that got a light giggle from the pink girl "sounds like my parents, they hated seeing me sad" Todoroki stared into the camera "I wonder if my mother even knows whats happening to me, or if my bastard of a father cares" Izuku smiled kindly to him "Im sure shes watching you right now, quietly cheering you on" Todoroki smiles lightly at that, he was just reconnecting with his mother. He didnt want that to suddenly stop. "Isn't your father the number two hero Indeavor? Why would you call him a bastard he seems really cool on TV" Shoji says. Todoroki shakes his head "Hes worse scum then some villains. He forced my mother into marriage, and forced her to try and create 'the perfect weapon to surpass All Might', He got what he wanted when his son was born with both quirks" He carefully touched the scar on his face, remembering the day he got it from his mother after his father had pushed her to far "He gave me this scar, and blamed it on my mother. Locking her up" He new the world was watching, so as a last ditch effort he tells the world of who his father truly is, perhaps it will save his siblings from being hurt by him.
Everyone was silent at the table, then they all looked at the camera once again. They all had the same idea "Hi mom, hi dad. I love you... If this is it for me, I want you to know how much i love you both. And that it was me who stole your good headphones dad" Jiro said, wiping tears from her eyes. Ashido went next "Mom, I love you so much! And you to little bro, if I could I would flick you on the forehead right now!" she laughed as tears fell down her face. Kaminari smiles "Grandma, id your watching this thank you for raising me, and dealing with my dumb ass. I did what you warned me not to do. I fell in love and got myself killed for it" He laughs lightly, face red from a blush. Jiro blushed beside him and mumbled "Sorry dad, I broke your no falling in love rule". Bakugou looked towards the camera "Oi, shitty mom and dad..." he paused, thinking of the right words to say "Thank you, for always dealing with me. I know im a fucker, I never deserved any of you. Love you both" He added the last part while looking away from the camera, even he couldn't stop the tears from slipping down his face.
Koda went next, quietly mumbling and making his hand gestures he always loved to do. Everyone in the room jumped when a loud alarm went off. At first their hope jumped threw the roof. Was it the heroes? Were they finally rescued? Once the students came to realize what the sound actually was from, their hearts jumped threw their chests and screamed just as the lightning bolts came raining down onto quiet Koda. He silently screamed as he was being electrocuted to death. To everyone's horror he wasnt dying.
They hadn't noticed the clock hit Zero.
Ashido remembered the rules. Kill before the time was over, or suffer for a hour. However "Asui! Quickly pass me the gun!" The frog girl looked at her, fear in her huge eyes but nodded and did so. Ashido was next in line for the gun, and Technically the villain didnt say the next person couldn't kill the one who ran out of time. She aimed at Koda, who's body was shaking like shes never seen and pulled the trigger. As soon as Koda hung from his side dead, the Lightning stopped. The room was quiet staring at Kodas dead, fried body. Ashido was still holding the gun, she couldn't take her eyes off him. She just killed someone. The villain suddenly started laughing loudly. "You really are smart kids! Looks like you found a loop hole in the rules!"
I was sad to kill Kirishima, he's one of my favorites on the show. Eight students dead now, only twelve are left! As always, I hope you enjoyed!
