Discovery - Two Hours Remain

Iida holds open the door for Mrs. Midoriya and closes it once the wolves are through. He sees that the woman is mumbling to herself much like her son does, as well as the fact that her back is turned. As quickly and quietly as he can he slides the doors lock shut, to prevent anything from leaving the sanatorium and reaching his friends.

Inko leads the tallest teen of the group through the area and brings them right back to the main area. she pulls out the map of the place and points to an area just past the psych ward "We'll need to get into this section in order to get what we need, and sadly Toshinori has the keys and locked up the gates leading there. Iida, would you be a dear and see what you can find?"

Iida nods and begins searching the area, finding one of the gates unlocked leading to a large hole in the wall along with another totem.

He's laying prone on the floor with what could only be the wendigo looms over him, snapping it's gnarly teeth at his face/neck area. Off to the side and out of sight of the wendigo stand Mrs. Midoriya holding a rifle out and taking aim at the creature, hoping to get a clear shot before others may appear.

A hand landing on his shoulder snaps him out of it. "Those are dreadful things, aren't they." The older woman states, looking down at the piece of wood. "Izuku and Toshinori try to find as many as they can, seeing how Toshi's predecessor was the one that made them, but I find their visions absolutely horrifying."

"Who was his predecessor?" Iida asks tentatively, afraid he may be over stepping boundaries.

She takes a deep breath and places a hand on Old Man's head, right between the ears. "Her name was Nana Shimura, and like Izuku and I she was just going on a hike in the area. I can't remember why, but I think she wanted to find out what happened here all those years ago."

"Toshi never said when he joined her, just saying that her friend would visit from time to time during the warmer weather when the Wendigos would seemingly hibernate and he was less likely to complain about aching joint." As she says these things she leads him through the hole and brings him to a wooden cross that's been planted in the ground along with five others.

The first five are older with bits or rot eating away at the wood, leaving only a few that are still readable, showing dates going back all the way to the 1950s.

The one his companion brings him to has a newer cross with some long dead plants peaking out of the snow, with the name Nana Shimura carved into the cross beam, along with the days and years she was born and died. It wasn't that long of a life at all.

The two go back to the main area and Iida continues his search finding a set of stairs leading to the balcony above the caged areas, and at the spot above the one they need to get into is a hole in the floor. "Since when is anything ever this convenient." He remarks as he opens the door and allows Inko in.

The woman grabs and lights a torch, grabs the sawed off shot gun beside it. Handing the lit torch to Iida she begins looking around the drawers and desk for something else. before giving up. "Sorry Iida, looks like we'll have to find another way to get the lock off the door." She admits, only to hear a resounding *BANG!*

Turning around she finds Iida at the grate lowering his gun. "I'm truly sorry miss, but I believe we're in a hurry, and any time we waste looking for keys is a moment someone could be dying."

Inko nods, "I understand, but you must understand that my family has been doing things here a certain way, and I was non too happy to hear the first gunshot go off, and made sure to let Izuku know when he came to get me."

After hearing this the teen feels truly reprimanded, "I'll be sure to remember that."

"Good, now once we get to the other side of the psych ward here, there's a door that leads right to the mines, and that's typically where the Wendigos like to hunt. Once we get the weapons I'm hoping that Toshinori has found some of your friends and is leading them to that entrance so that we may retrieve them and bring them to the lodge."

Iida stands back and watches as she pulls a lever, for the gates, only for it to get stuck partially open. Taking initiative Iida places himself between the gate and the frame and pushes outward. once it's opened more they two slip through with the wolves taking the lead on the other side.

Going down to the detention center Iida finds a physicians notes on the old miner incident, listing symptoms observed like: Pallor and Social dysfunction. Below that are those that should've been observed which includes: Malnutrition/scurvy (A note on the side exclaiming They should be DEAD), Frostbite, and Frailty/weakness. All of this is followed shortly by the recommended course of action.

Inko reads it over the teens shoulder. "I suppose this is one of the notes Izuku found laying around."

"Your son actually goes looking for these?" Iida inquires putting it down and moving further into this hellscape, finding a large metal door thrown outwards and the words

LET US OUT!

WE ARE STARVING

FREEZING

I WILL MAKE YOU PAY

STOP TESTING US NOW!

Just below that are nine tally marks.

Inko calls out to him, so they don't get separated. AS they get closer to their destination, Iida questions Inko on the things they have found in the sanitarium, and she brings up and old clip showing someone who could've been a miner strapped down as a nurse checks him over. The nurse leaves for a bit, allowing the miner to escape and in a changed form, climb up a wall. Ending when the nurse returns.

She also tells him about the file Toshinori's predecessor found that went through the stages of the transformation, as well as the skeleton of a doctor with a suicide note in hand.

Iida goes to comment on this new information when the woman shushes him, gesturing at the two growing wolves coming to a seemingly closed off area where a rat scurries away, leaving the group to come face to face with a wendigo wearing an outfit that would suggest it is a fairly recent one, after taking in the short skirt and tattered sweater.

The group runs and turns into a room where Iida drops a locker down in front of the door. The wendigo sticks its head through, and Iida makes use of the machete he still has and drives the blade into the things face, leaving it shrieking as they go through the door in the back.

From there it's one encounter after another as they go through a hallway lined with cages filled with the shrieking monsters, as they reach through bars and lunge out to reach their food.

It's as Inko struggles to get large wooden door open that Iida has the brilliant idea to roll an oil barrel down the caged walkway, and blow it up. The force of the blast is what pushes to group through and Inko is introduced to what happens should a wendigo die.

She stares wide eyed as two apparitions dash towards the door that the teen traveling with her is quick to force close once more. shaking herself out of her daze the two make it to the hole in the floor that leads to the back entrance as well as the weapon cache. Helping the wolves down the two scramble to get as many weapons as they can, only for the wolves to alert them just as a wendigo stricks


Ochako comes to with pain coursing throughout her body as the cold seeps in, disrupting the numbness her unconscious state once brought. She tries to assess the damage done, but all she can make out is the burning the grated ground below her causes on the cuts and bruises on her back, and the bone chilling air that freezes everywhere else.

Struggling to sit up she takes in the area she wakes up in, finding that it's not the elevator shaft she was in as it collapsed and that there are two large dogs that now approach to sniff at her.

at the sight of them she screams.


After Izuku came two he started making zero sense about anything, trying to sort through scrambled memories, and seeing how neither of the people who he stayed with were here, It was obvious that they had to get Inko.

As they walk through the tunnel that leads to the sanitarium Izuku leading with support from Bakugou, Kirishima speaks up from his position at the back of the group as he looks back the way they came. "Maybe someone should stay behind in case anyone comes back."

Ashido who was walking beside him stops and is about to say something when Izuku calls out from up front. "No man left behind, bigger numbers means more chance for distractions."

"What does that even mean Deku." Bakugou all but demands receiving only laughter "Deku I swear to fucking God! If you don't stop laughing right now I'm dropping you."

"Bakugou, that is enough. For all we know he could have a concussion from that hit to the head he got, and you dropping him would not help that condition no matter what you think." Momo says as Kaminari puts all his weight into getting the door open.

"Stop trying sparky, four eyes must have locked the damn door behind him." Bakugou says setting his childhood friend down to find another way. The three wolves still with them sniff around a bit. It's during this time that Ashido finds a totem down one of the side areas back the way they came, and after seeing the horrifying vision it had to show she shouts. "This bitch scary, YEET!" and tosses it out of the opening.

When they ask or try to look, Ashido gives nothing and they see nothing. Izuku explains this as "It's sleeping guys, it won't wake up."

"That tells us nothing you fucking nerd." the aggressive blond says as he goes back towards his formally missing friend to notice one of the wolves pawing at the ground in front of him.

"Grate job Kacchan." Izuku says, much to his friends irritation while his typical squad laughs at the pun upon seeing an actual grate in the ground. Ashido and Kaminari work together to get the lid off.

The group starts trying to work out how to get the wolves down, when both Kacchan and Hero, leaving Shade to pace around the hole. Bakugou goes down first shortly followed by Izuku who calls up to the third wolf, tricking them in to jumping into Bakugou's arms who than gets snapped at.

The others follow down shortly after with Ashido saying she'll catch up after closing the grate in case something followed them. Getting to the bottom she finds Hero waiting at the bottom for her, and the two begin making their way to the rest of the group, when she hears it.

She's at a fork in the path and Hero is trying to bring her down the right path, when off to the right, she can hear Uraraka's screaming in pain and for help. Coming to a trapdoor illuminated by light coming down from above she finds it shaking with the forceful bangs and Uraraka still calling out from beneath. The thing that deters her from opening the door is Hero's growls.

she ignores it and follows hero through a large enough crevice, and drops down right in front of her group. "Oh my gosh your alive."

"Yup, now how about we get out of here and find Iida and Momdoriya and let them know what's going on." Ashido says and Izuku mutters "Did you literally call my mom momdoriya?"

it goes ignored as the group comes to a high cliff with scaffolding and broken ladders. "Alright losers, whose good at climbing?"

"I would normally volunteer, but I'm not nearly steady enough for that." Izuku says starting to regain some form of coherency.

Kaminari steps forth. "I guess that would be me. You guys want to wait back at the lodge?" he suggests as he begins stretching.

Bakugou goes to argue when Momo interrupts, "I believe that would be for the best. That way we can let Izuku rest, and sort our things for when authorities arrive."

"cool cool cool. I'll see you guys on the flip side than."

"Oh wait," Kaminari stops with one hand on the wall. he turns to find Izuku looking at him. "I-I think there's a way station of sorts up there. you can ignore everything else, but can you grab a dream catcher and my notebooks. I'd feel better having them with." He says looking further up.

"you got it Zuku, one dream catcher and some notebooks coming up." Kaminari says as he begins hoisting himself up. finding the way station he spoke of with symbols painted on the way, and two notebooks as well as the old dream catcher. Grabbing the three items he goes the way he thinks he should and has to jump to make it to the other side. He finds a metal rod that he keeps with him as well.

He finds the door that will hopefully lead him to the sanitarium that opens with a heavy creak, opening up to the great outdoors. picking his way through the trails he finds the finds the correct path that brings him to the gate needed to get to the back entrance. Passing by a window a wendigo lunges at him and Kaminari runs towards the door opening it to find Iida trapped underneath a wendigo with Mrs. Midoriya tries to get a proper shot in that won't hurt the teen as well. The two wolves that traveled with them stand on either side of the woman and bark at the creature.

Kaminari runs down the steps, and bashes the wendigo off of Iida, and MRs. Midoriya takes the shot, blasting the creature back. As they run towards the door Iida turns back towards the room and fires at the oil drums littered around the room, causing a huge explosion to go off, killing off another wendigo.

The group runs back to the mines to regroup, and discuss the next course of action.
