What Do We Remember?

by reaganrose1315

Kaida Raitoningu was the Quirkless daughter of two Pro-Heroes. She only has one friend in Izuku Midoriya. But when things start to change for the both of them, maybe their dreams of being heroes, aren't dead.

10. The Blood, Sweat, And Tears

Hello everyone! Here the new chapter. I know it's kinda sad and a little lame, but I want to dedicate this chapter to Stan Lee. The man gave us some many good heros and he was just an inceablie crater. Now moving on, sorry for spelling and grammar. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S GOOD, let a comment. Even if it's just on letter. I think my writing suck and I need you guys to let me know if it's not. Well that's it enjoy guys, gals, and nonbinary pals!

The first figure to step out of the swirling Vortex is a man. His skin is pale from what I can see, and he has silver-blue hair. On his face and going up and down his arms and back are dismembered hands, which I really hope aren't real.
"Eraserhead and Thirteen huh?" the void which was now taking a human shape, said, "The teacher schedule we retrieve the other day said All Might would be here."
"So they were the ones to break into the school the other day," Aizawa said to Thirteen.
"Where is he?" asked the man who is covered in hands. The sound of his voice made me uneasy. He sounded like a psychopath or a lunatic. And you can tell just by the sound of his voice that his mind wasn't in the right state. "I went through all the trouble bringing all of these friends. All Might, Symbol of Peace. I wonder if I kill a few brats then maybe he'll come. "
Aizawa's scarf began to swirl in the air. Thirteen held all their hand in front of us protectively in a way. I was still frozen. And there was no doubt in my mind that all my classmates were in a similar state to me.
"How could they have gotten in here?" Kirishima asked.
"Why aren't the alarms going off?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"Good question," Thirteen said, " I'm not sure."
"Did they only come here or are they attacking the main campus as well?" Todoroki asked out loud. "Either way the alarms aren't going off."
"One of them must have a Quirk that's blocking the signal or something like that," I say.
"They're isolating us from the main campus," Todoroki says, "Doing it at a time they knew a class will be going on. They are fools but they're clever. This whole thing was carefully planned out."
"Thirteen get the students out of here," Aizawa said, "And try to alert the main campus. One of them must have a Quirk that's interfering with the Radio waves. Kaminari, try and see if you can contact the school."
"Yes, sir."
"What about you?" Izuku asked, "Do you think you can fight them all on your own? Your fighting style is good capturing enemies after erasing their Quirks."
"You can't be a pro if you only have one trick," Aizawa said. And with that, we watched as our teacher left into action. And it was awesome. I was best friends with a kid who spend almost all his time studying Heroes. My parents were Pros, so where my brothers. I was trained in martial arts since I could walk. But this had to be one of the most amazing fights I'd ever witnessed. Aizawa was fast and strong. he seemed to know what he was doing in every move. I was in awe at the whole thing.
I finally tear my eyes away and begin running towards the door. I look back for a second and see that Izuku still watching.
"Izuku!" I cry.
"This isn't the time to be analyzing!" Iida crys. Izuku comes running after use and I get the feeling where too deep in the woods to get out this easy.
We're halfway there when the black void shows up right in front of us. The figure that was causing it also showed up in front of us. We all come to a stop. We all stare at it. I'm not sure what we were supposed to do. We were trapped. That was the only thought that was in my head at that moment.
"Nice to meet you," The mist said, "We are the League of Villains. We have invited ourselves to the home of Heroes, U.A. High School. We hope that it is here that All Might, the symbol of peace, takes his last breath."
These lunatics thought they could kill All Might? If anyone else had said it I would have laughed and rolled my eyes. But for some reason I was scared. Was scared these people could do what they said they were here to do. I was thankful that All Might wasn't there.
"I believe that All Might should have been here," the black mist continue to speak, "Has there been some kind of change? That's neither here nor there. This is the part I am here to play."
Out of the corner of my eyes, I could see Thirteen getting ready to use their quirk. I felt a little course of hope spread through my veins. Yes, Thirteen just had to use Black Hole and then we could get out through the doors. Thirteen just had to use their Quirk and we could get out.
But then, teenage boys decided to teenage boys.
Kirishima and Bakugou both jumped in front of Thirteen and they used there Quirks on the man.
My eyes widen and dread filled my stomach. Idiots! Literal and complete idiots! What were they thinking?!
The explosion shook the ground bit, and a veil of black smoke block all of our vision. The two boys were smiling but I could tell that it didn't work. We only had one hope, and that was for Thirteen to use their quirk.
"Morons!" I yelled almost at the top of my lungs. I then shot out two of my cords and they wrapped around each of the boy's wrist. I yanked them back with all the power I could.
Now, Thirteen could use their quirk. I retract the cords and waited for the black mist to this disappear. But that's not what happened.
"My job is to scatter you," the black mist said to us, "And torture you to death."
The next thing I knew all I could see was black and mist. There was wind wrapping around me. I heard the sound of my classmates voices but I couldn't see any of them. I wanted to call out to Zuku, and my other friends, but I couldn't find my voice. My hair was in my face and just as I was pushing it out of my line of vision when I began to feel like I was falling. Down, down, down.
XXXXXXXXXXXX

When I could see again I saw I was still falling. I then realized that I was actually falling. I panicked. I noticed I was falling right next to a building so I shot one of my cords out towards it, it had a grappling hook end. I stop falling and my body bounches a little as the ground stop coming closer.
I looked up, the building that had caught me which was several stories high. My cord had stopped a few floors below of where I was now. I looked down again to see another few seconds and I would have fallen and splattered on the concrete ground.
I sat in the air for a few seconds looking down and breathing a little heavy. I shook my head and looked back up at the window where my hook had dug into the brick wall. I shot another cord up and began to pull myself up to the window.
It was broken so I climb through it and found that I was in a large room. I looked around there was nothing. I could hear voices above me the sounds of fighting. My heart beats quicken a little bit and I was heading towards the doorway when I saw people rushing up the stairs. They were villains. I had to wait.
Before I could go back to hiding in the room one of the taller villains noticed me. "Hey! There's a brat in here, she's alone."
I created a sword and shield as quickly as I could and got into a ready stance. A ground of five men flooded into the room and circled around me. I was trapped.
Above me, I could hear the sound of explosions. That many Katsuki was here. Great. I looked around at my opponents. They all seem to have the same nasty look on their faces. I was trying to think of what I was supposed to do.
My mind had a thousand thoughts racing through it like it does when you're scared or terrified that something's about to happen. I thought about my mom, and my dad, my brothers, was I ever going to see them again? I thought about Izuku. Was he okay? I thought about All Might and why these villains were here to come and kill him. Could they really do it? Could they really kill the Symbol of Peace?
I shook my head. There was no time for any of that. Now it was time to focus on getting myself out of here. That was the only goal, that was my only mission. Get out, and get out alive.
I looked at my sword and my shield. I took a deep breath in. I could do this. I had to do this. I knew how to fight. I could take care of them no problem. But a tiny voice in the back of my head didn't think I was going to be able to take care of the situation with just my sword. With just my shield. A sword will only get you so far with certain types of Quirks. Just use your Quirk my brain screams. Use your Quirk if you can't fight with your sword.
It seemed like the right option. But then I remembered, I'm in an enclosed space and I want to use a lightning. And I remembered that there were people upstairs too. Sure it was Bakugou, but I didn't know if he was alone or not. I didn't know if I wanted to risk it. But I had to get out alive. And that might be the only way.
I looked at my opponents one by one. None of them were much taller than me or stronger. They stood waiting, like wolves for the kill. It then hit me that they had no idea if I had a Quirk or not and therefore had no idea what I would do. That explained why they were staying far enough away from me.
They waited.
Then, one villain's arm shoots out a black mist-like substance. I used my shield to block it. The forces from it were strong enough to push me back. I knew I was getting closer to the villain behind me. When I snuck a glance at him I saw he had fangs and sharp claws that looked like they were made of shaped glass. I quickly dropped down to the floor and let the black stuff hit the claws guy.
I heard the sounds of the guy crying out in pain. When I looked at him it seems as if he was encased in some sort of black rock. I didn't think he was dead though. Alright, one down, four to go.
I throw my shield at the guy with the black mist and it hits him in the face and he falls on the knee with blood gushing out of his nose. My shield bounces back to me.
I retracted my sword and shield and jumped back on my feet. I shoot out my cords to the man on my left and on my right. The cords wrap around them and I pull the two together so their bodies slap against one and other. I release them and while there disoriented I kick one in the stomach the then make a small piece of metal to hit him over the head with. The next I kick him right in the nuts and then do the same with the small stuff I made. The both feel to the ground unconscious. I then kick the guy on his knees in the head making him fall to the ground.
I looked up at the last guy in the room. He smirked at me. I drew my shield and swung at him. Except he was gone when I turn around I was met with a kick in the gut. I flew a few feet and then hit the ground.
"Let me guess," I said, sitting up, "You have a teleporting Quirk."
"Clever girl," he said. Then just to confuses me, he began to teleport all over the room. So it looked like he was ten places at once. Every now and then I'd get hit or kicked. I had to come up with an idea. And then I did, and I hated it.
I have never tried this move before. I'd only talk about using it with Dad. Neither of us thought it was safe for me to do anything remotely like it yet. But desperate times calls for Desperate Measures.
I cross my arms over my chest, to make an 'X'. Then without even thinking I shoot lightning out from every part of my body. All version of the guy I saw teleporting around the room stood still and shook. They're frozen within the shock. I hold it for about 5 seconds before letting it go. Then there's only one of him and he stands for a moment as if nothing had happened, then he collapsed to the ground.
I see that they're all of the still breathing meaning I haven't killed any of them. I sigh heavily. I felt a little dizzy. I never held that much lightning in one place all at once. Dad only taught me how to cover my body with the lightning and shoot a couple bolts at a time. We had never done anything which had me shoot it out from every part of me and holding it into place. I get my sword and retract it back into my armband. I began walking out of the room when a voice said to me:
"That was impressive."
I froze and my quick feeling of relief flooded out of my body. I turn around and see a boy around my age maybe a year older. His skin is tan and his hair is dark purple. He has a dark blue witches hat, with gray pants, and a light purple shirt. I don't know where he was hiding.
I drew my shield and sword once again and got ready for his attack. He smirked. He showed me his hands. He was wearing some sorta metal glove that had claws on the end. They were long and shape and they were dripping with a clear liquid.
Here we go.
I blocked one of his claws with my shield, and I swung my sword at him. He blocked it with his other hand. My sword broke the claws off the glove. I swung my head back and brought it down on his forehead. He stumbled back a few feet. Then I kicked my leg up and hit him in the head. While he was taken aback I swept his feet out from under him. The other claws fell off his hand. As soon as he hit the ground he grabbed my leg and yanked me down. My weapons fell out of my hands.
He rolled over so he was over top of me and punches me in the face. I hit him back and try to push him off me. He leans up a bit so he can bang his fist on my stomach. Against all my willpower I let out a cry of pain and squeeze my eyes shut.
When I'm not looking he pulls out a knife. I open my eyes just in time and push us over so I'm on top. He still swings the knife and cuts across my left shoulder making a nasty gash.
I let out a cry of pain. With my other hand, I grab the cut. It's not deep but it's big. Blood coming out quickly, not enough to be too concerned, but it's still you know, blood.
The boy pushes me so I'm under him again. He's getting ready to come at me again with another blow from his sharp blade. My body thinks before my mind does. In my right palm I from a small ball of lightning the way Dad taught me and I shoot it right at his face. It hits him right in the center of his face. He shakes and jitters and then stop. He falls backward with a thud.
After a minute or two I slowly get back to my feet. I'm shaking a little. I'll look down at my shoulder. Blood is trickling out of the wound and I become concerned. I put my hand over it and press down hard. It's then that I also noticed that I have lightning bolts running up and down my arms.
I take a deep breath. Think of the light switch I tell myself. Thank. Turn it off. Just switch it off.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The Raitoningu house the night before:

"Try and think of it like shutting off of light," Dad had said. I looked at him like he was crazy.
"We are comparing control to a light switch?"
"It helps if you visualize something."
"And we're going with a light switch."
"You can pick whatever metaphor you want just picture something you can turn off," Dad sounded sounding a little annoyed.
"Think of a light switch," he says, "Think of shutting off your power and that being the end of it."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I close my eyes and concentrated as hard as I could. Shut the lightning off. Just shut it off. It's like a switch, it's like a button. Just turn it off. Shut it off.
I opened my eyes and look down at my eyes at my arms. The few tiny bolts of lightning that trickled across them seemed to fade for a second. I concentrated harder. Turn the switch off. Turn the switch off. Then after a few more seconds was gone.
I began to laugh. I had done it! I did it!
An explosion from upstairs reminds me that I am kind of an imminent danger and there are other people who could probably use some help. I rush up the stairs in a hurry. The sound of people fighting became louder and louder.
I could see the doorway where the fight must be going on. There was another villain about to enter. He was taller but not as bigger than the one I had face downstairs were. I quickly made a metal staff with my armbands and then hit him over the head with it. Knocking him to the ground.
When I looked in the room I saw Kirishima and Bakugou. The last of the villain past out at there feet.
"Sup?" I said, my voice showing how I was clearly fed up with today.
"Kaida!" Kirishima said, stepping closer to me as I walked in the room.
"Well I see you boys took care of things here," I said, looking around.
"Yeah, we-What happened to your arm?!" the redhead asked sounding worried.
"Oh, this? Yeah, a dickhead in a witches hat downstairs had a knife. I kicked his ass though," I said. Kirishima picked up a piece of his sash the rip off the ground and tied it around my cut. "Are you guys alright?" I asked.
"We're fine," Kirishima said.
"We know how to not get stabbed," Katsuki said glaring at me.
"You know what cock-less?" I said, stepping towards him.
"Okay, okay, okay," Kirishima said standing between us, "I get you two to have beef and whatever, but right now that doesn't matter. What we should be doing is focus on finding our classmates, and getting out of here."
"Our damn classmates will be fucking fine," Katsuki said.
"And you're sure of that?" Kirishima asked.
"Um yeah, I am."
Just then, the wall behind Katsuki seemed to move. I looked carefully for a second and there realized.
"Um guys," I said. Katsuki turned just as a man with a chameleon-like Quirk jumped out and released an explosion. He wasn't even phased. He held the man by his face.
"Looking for our classmate would be a waste of time and we would only risk getting ourselves hurt," he said, "Besides if all the villain is like this out classmate would have many problems."
"Wow," said Kirishima, "I've never seen you act so mature about something. You're usually more," him and I both stopped and thought of screaming, yelling, angry Katsuki.
"Shut up you loser! I don't give a damn about how you think I act!"
"There it is!" Kirishima said cheerfully. I laughed and then my laughter turned to whence.
"Are you okay?" Kirishima asked.
"I feel dizzy," I said.
"It's the blood lost moron," Katsuki said. I shook my head.
"No that's not it," I said. Kirishima looked at my arm.
"Oh boy," he untied the pieces of fabric he put around my cut. The blood had all dried up, but it had turned dark purple, almost black. My veins had the same color and it was spreading. My arm felt stiff.
"How is that happening?" Kirishima asked.
"Before the villain came at me with the knife," I said, "he had these claw things. They had some clear liquid coming from them. Maybe it was on the knife too."
"Okay, we have to do something about that," he said looking at my arm. A thought came to his mind, "Kaida are you right or left handed?" he asked.
"Well I'm ambidextrous, but I use my left hand more," I said.
"You're ambid-what huh?" he asked. I sighed.
"I can use both hands," I explained, "I can keep fighting without my left hand."
"That's not going to matter if you lose your arm," Katsuki said.
"Then what do we do?" Kirishima asked.
"My best guess is clean it," I said.
"With what?" Katsuki snapped.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"How about with the water that's coming from the broken fire hydrant?" Kirishima asked.
We all looked a the hydrant that's top had been made broken which was spitting water out with little pressure.
"Yeah, that works," I said.
We walked over to it and I sat down. I took the pieces of red cloth and balled it up before putting it in my mouth. Washing the cut, in the simplest way, hurt. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to wash out the purple/black stuff but it was hard. The water stung and when I washed it out it felt like pins in needles. After a while, the pain lessens and I was able to wash harder.
I scraped out the purple blood cape stuff until new blood pushed threw. I washed until it was all purple/black was gone. The toxin, as I decide to call it, didn't spread any father. I took the cloth out of my mouth. I rinsed the old blood and my spit out. When that was done, I squeezed all the other water out.
I looked at the cloth in my hands again. It was bright red, too much like blood. I pressed it to my lips. Then I wrapped the cloth around my cut. After that, I sat there with my head in my hands.
How did today's start? Had happened this morning? I woke up to Dad cooking pancakes. He and Mom then spent the morning talking about work before I left. Did I hug Dad goodbye? Or tell him that I loved him? Did I remember to do that? What came after? I went with Izuku to the station. We were talking about English, or was math? I want to cry because I can't remember which it is. I decide on math, because of the assignment the night before. We meet with Iida and Uraraka later. We talk about homework and our favorite books.
Izuku likes this one All Might autobiography and the Runaway Heroes series by this English author. Uraraka likes a teenage romance novel and this one spy graphic novel. Iida said his favorite book was in this fantasy series I hadn't read, but by the way, he talked about it, I think I was going to have to. I told her I was a sucker for Harry Potter but my favorite book Turtles All the Way Down by John Green. Then we went to school and everything was normal.
Was that all this morning? Did all that happened this morning? That didn't seem right. That all felt like a lifetime ago. Not this morning. Now, I didn't know if I see my family or my friends ever again, and I didn't know if I was going to get out of the hell cage alive.
I could feel the tears prick in the corners of my eyes. No! My mind screamed. No, you will not cry about this. You are to pick yourself up off the damn ground and hold your head up. And if you do die, you will do it fighting. Not crying like a coward.
I hit myself right below the left side of my rib cage a couple of times. I would do this whenever I really didn't want to cry. It didn't happen often. I was a girl, so I was expected to cry. No one ever told me it was bad. I had seen my mother cry, my dad, my brothers, my best friend, and my Aunt Tia all cry before. It was normal, I knew that, but, I couldn't cry now. Not yet. When this is done, then you can cry I told myself. You can cry when this is done.
I pull my face out of my hands. "What do we remember," I whisper to myself.
I rub the back of my neck and try and remember what you do when you have blood loss. I take a good few drinks of water before splashing it on my face. With shaky knees, I push myself back up and walk over the Bakugou and Kirishima who have been looking out for villains.
"You feeling okay?" Kirishima asked.
"I don't know," I said.
"Her stupid blood sugar is low," Katsuki said, "She needs to get it up before her shit gets fucked up."
"Well, how do we do that?" Kirishima asked.
"How the fuck and I supposed to know?!" the ash blond yelled. The redhead sighed and looked back to me.
"Kaida, you're pale," he said sounding worried. Blood loss.
"That's only one problem," I said.
"What do you mean?"
"My arm is stiff from my shoulder to my elbow," I said, "I can move my forearm, but nothing above it. Which is, weird."
"Great," Katsuki said, "Now you're a dead weight too."
"Oh, go do some yoga and fuck yourself," I snapped, "If I'm really that much of a pain in the ass to you, which I hope I am, then why don't you two go on your way. I'll find a way out myself."
"Alright then," Katsuki said turning around. Kirishima grabbed his arm.
"No, don't," he said, "Splitting up won't help! It will just make us all easier targets. And Kaida, you can't fight on your own. Not with your arm like that. We need to stay together. That's the only way we can get out."
Katsuki and I both looked at him.
"Then what would you suggest we do?" I asked him.
"Well, let's get you something to eat, and then we will get out of here," he said.
"Where are we going to get food though?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Goddamn this school is crazy," I said, unwrapping another Twinky.
By the grace of some higher power or other. We found what I could only call a break room in the Earthquake zone. Well, I think we were in the earthquake zone. I didn't really know.
It was a shack/building where you took a break from training, I guess. There was a first aid kit, which I opened and used. Kirishima helped me pore the alcohol on my cut and then wrap it up. There was no needle or thread, so no stitches. But besides the first aid kit there was a cabinet full of non perishables. So, Twinkies!
When I was done eating, I felt better. I stood up and brushed my hands off. I looked at the red piece of cloth that was no longer needed to wrap my arm. I sighed an quickly braided my hair back. Using the cloth to tie it up.
"Okay," I said, "Now what do you guys want to do?"
"We could try and sneak out the front doors," Kirishima suggested, "See if we can find anyone else on the way." I nodded.
"We don't know how villains are still left in the USJ though," I said.
"So we blast all the ones we come across to hell," Katsuki said.
"Still," I said. I closed my eyes and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Kirishima asked. I shook my head.
"I'm just worried," I said.
"About Midoriya?" he asked.
"About everyone really," I said, "But yes, I'm worried about Izuku too."
"Don't worry about fucking Deku," Katsuki said.
"I'm sorry, have you meet me?"
"Yeah, I've known you for less than a week and that seems like a fair chunk of your personality," the redhead commented.
"Thank you for that," I said, shooting him a look, "Even If we get to the front doors there still the fog guy."
"He's got a warping Quirk," Katsuki said.
"Which means he can send where ever he wants," I finished, "I'm sure there are limits but there's no way for us to know what they are."
Just then there was a hissing noise. We all looked at each other. At first, you would have thought it was a pipe or something. But then it got louder.
We looked around for the sound. The build we're in is a rectangle shape. The front and sides are windows and glass doors. The back wall was cement. There were a few tables and chairs in here too. Besides the cabinets, there was no place for a person to hide.
I made a sword and shield. Kirishima hardened his hands. Katsuki's palms smoked. We were quiet.
Then something quickly wrapped around my ankle and pulled me out the open doors. I let out a yelp as I'm dragged out. Kirishima calls my name. I'm being lifted in the air. I see I'm hanging by the end of a tail. A tail which belonged to someone with the torso and arms of a human and the neck and bottom half of a snake.
Their eyes were yellow and the scales were black, green, and purple. My mom's colors. That bugged me for some reason. The snaked smirked at me. They opened of the fans on the side of their head like a King Cobra.
"I seem, that I sssnacked up a little hero," they hissed, showing off the pure white fangs, "Let's see if I can strangle you in a second."
"Oh, please," I said, "Stop talking like that. We both know it's not how you really talk."
"Yes it is!" they snapped, "It doesn't matter."
"Hey, Cobra Kai!"
The snake looked off to the side and was met with an explosion. I began falling. But I didn't land in a pile of rubble. Instead I landed sorta in Kirishima's arms, sorta on top of him. We both almost fell, but we were fine. When I was on my feet, I looked to the snake. Katsuki was firing off explosions after an explosion.
The snake was just a little bit shorter than your average public pool. Their fangs where about six inches. Most likely venomous. Their could wrap their tail around any of our and we suffocate to death. I tried to remember everything my Grandma Nariko ever told me about snakes.
"If they get their tail around you, don't tense up. Relax," I told Kirishima before running towards the snake.
"Got it!" he called.
The scales were thick and protective. But growing up in a house full of people with scales, I knew where to hit, and how. I took a swing at the snake's lower belly. I angled it so the scales wouldn't get in the way. The snake let out a cry. It turned it toward me. I held up my sword, ready for anything. Just as they were about to strike, Bakugou fired off another explosion.
"He looks happy," Kirishima said. Katsuk had that crazy look in his eye that got every time he was winning. Normally I would want to wipe it off his stupid face. But today, I didn't care all that much.
We didn't see the ends of the snakes tail towards us. We were knocked to the ground and Kirishima got the wind knocked out of him. I landed a few inches away from the redhead, and I was facing the sky.
I quickly retracted my sword and make shield as fast as humanly possible. The shield stopped the snake from swallowing the hardening Quirk user whole. All four of the six-inch fangs were stuck behind my shield.
The snake tried to pull their head back but they couldn't. I only retraced the shield when I saw that Katsuki was ready for another explosion. The snake was getting tired. The heat from the explosion was making them tired.
I was about to make another blow to the snake when I felt the tail wrap around my neck. I froze. The air in my lungs disappeared. I stiffened. My hand grabbed for my neck and my legs kicked.
No. No. Not again. I couldn't do this again. I need air. My mind was blanking. Memories are flooding my brain. I can't tell if it's form the lack of air or the fear.
I'm then dropped to the ground, and land on my back. I gasp and rich oxygen fills my lungs. I lay on the ground, unable to move. Get up, I tell myself. You're not there. You're not in middle school. You're not on the locker room floor. That bitch isn't here. So get your ass up and help them fight you, idiot.
I force myself to jump up. I was still shaking. The snake had their attention on Kirishima. Most of his body was hardened. I looked at the snake. They were getting ready to strike. I grabbed the biggest stone I could, and with my right hand I threw at the back of the snake's head.
The huge head whipped around to look at me. I glared back at those yellow eyes. Before they opened their mouth again, I shoot a cord around the snout. They try to pull their head back, but they couldn't get out of my grasp. I let go just as another explosion went off. Then I used both arms, which was hard, and wrapped two cords around the jaws.
There's one more big blast and then the snake finally, looks like they can't take anymore. Their head was in the air for a moment or two before falling to the ground with a loud thud. I look around us and see that Katsuki had gotten the snake to wrap around the various pile of rubble and debris. Limiting their mobility. It also looks like Kirishima got some pretty good hits on them.
My hands drifted slowly to my neck. I was trembling a bit. There were still images flooding into my brain. I try and shake it off. No crying yet.
I begin to walk over to the other to when I find out I can't move the top part of my arm at all. Not good.
When I get to the two boys, I carefully eye Katsuki's forearms. I notice that he's been using the arm that he was still using the gauntlet more than his bare hand. I remember that his ligaments break if he uses his Quirk too much. That had been my saving grace a number of times. Still, I asked, "Are your arms okay?"
"Fuck off Raitoningu!" he yelled, "It's none of your damn business!"
"Oh for the love of fuck, calm down," I snapped. Katsuki stormed off only to go a few feet and grumble to himself.
"Kaida," Kirishima asked.
"What?" I asked coming off more annoyed than I wanted.
"Are feeling alright?"
"I'm Fucking fine, why?"
"Your knees are shaking and palms are bleeding," he said. I look down to see he was right. I sighed and wrapped my arms across my chest. I looked over to make sure Katsuki was out of earshot. I sniffed.
"Kaida," Kirishima said, "I'm sorry if-"
"No it's fine, it's fine. It's just," I look at him and the to Katsuki, and then to the snake and then my shoulder.
"I want my mom," I admitted, "I want my dad. I'm scared and I want to go home, and I'm worried that everyone could be dead or hurt. And I can't cry because heroes don't cry when they're trying to save people. And I know I shouldn't be scared because heroes deal with this stuff every day. But I just-"
"Hey," he said resting his hand on my good shoulder. "It's okay. It's okay that you're scared and worried. That's normal, I'm pretty sure."
I looked at him.
"We've only been in school for like, four days. None of us were ready for this. But you've been handling it well. You took down a room full of villains by yourself. That's awesome and super manly."
He stopped and about to apologize when I said, "It's fine. I have three brothers. I'm used to it as a compliment."
"Anyway, what you feel is fine," he said, "We're going to get out of here. All of us. We're going to kick those villain's asses into next year and it'll be okay."
I looked at him, "We're going to get out of here. I promise."
I nodded my head and sniffed, "Thanks," I said.
"Don't worry about it," he said, "Plus Ultra," he said raising his hand up a bit.
"Plus Ultra," I said, smiling.
It was then I noticed we were closest to the edge of the earthquake zone. Close to the center of the USJ. There are the sounds of yelling. Katsuki had joined us again.
"I think we should go there," I said.

(Tatsuya's POV)
Tatsuya smiled as he walked with his mother and brother down the halls of his old high school. It seemed like a lifetime ago that he walked down these halls as a student. He met some of his best friends here. He met his wife here.
Now his sister was walking down the same path. She was the last Raitoningu to do so.
Kaida. He youngest sibling and only sister.
Tatsuya sighed. He loved his sister with all his heart. But He couldn't help but feel bad for her. When she was born she was tiny. She and Mom seemed to live in the hospital for the first few months. Then with her making friends. Well, Tatsuya guess Kaida was lucky to have both Izuku and Nat or Kaida might never have had anyone to play with. Then her being Quirkless.
Tatsuya felt his heart squeeze in pain at the thought of it. Tatsuya knew that he wasn't perfect. But you can't really shake the feeling guilt you get for picking on your sister for something she couldn't control.
He and Ryoto used to tease her. All and all Tatsuya knew he wasn't as bad as Ryoto, but it didn't change the that he made had baby sister cry. He was sixteen years old, he should have known better. Of course, they grew up in a household of good-natured teasing. They never really mean to make her too upset.
It never really dawned on him how much you could've been hurting her until he met Meisuki. She was one of Tama's friends from Gen Ed. She was an amazing person. She was smart, funny, and determined as hell. She seemed so normal, he guesses were the right word that he never would have guessed that she was Quirkless.
When he found out he was pretty shocked. Even though his sister was also without a Quirk it was still rare as heck for someone to not have one.
Meisuki told him about how she was picked on and how hard it is to grow up in their society without a Quirk. When she left him Tatsuya locked himself in the nearest broom closet and bawled his eyes out. Not even caring that he misses all of his afternoon classes.
That night when he got home he ran and picked Kaida up in his arms and didn't let her go until his mother pestered him about homework. That night his dad asked him what had happened. Tatsuya broke down once again.
He never made fun of Kaida for being Quirkless again. And the next time Ryoto made Kaida visible upset, he punched him square in the face. This knocks the last few of Ryoto's baby teeth loose and broke his nose. Their mother was not happy with either of them.
Tatsuya never really knew how to help Kaida or Izuku for that matter. He tried not to treat her differently when they trained. But it was hard, Kaida was small as a child. Hiriyur did a better job at this and Ryoto had no problem at all. Although there were times his youngest brother had a problem with going too hard. This lead to Kaida getting the snot kicked out of her. She refused to yield thanks to her Raitoningu genes.
Then Tatsuya would say this line and regret it immediately, "Stop it! She doesn't even have a Quirk!"
Ryoto would look off to the side, acting like he didn't care, but truly feeling guilty. And Kaida was hanging her head in shame. Tatsuya knew he made her feel terrible.
But it was the awful truth of the matter. Kaida didn't have a Quirk. She did have a disadvantage in the world. She wanted to be a pro. Tatsuya never understands why his parents kept pushing Kaida towards her dreams. It's not that he wanted her to fail, it just was too impossible of a dream.
When his mother called him, telling him that Kaida had got in he was speechless. Over the phone, Tatsuya could hear the tears in his mother voice. Tatsuya couldn't remember the last time she sounded so happy. When he hung up, Tatsuya's knees gave in and he cried on the floor of his kitchen. When Tama fond him an hour later she thought that something horrible happened.
Kaida and Izuku, U.A. Hero Course students. Never in a million years would anyone guess that those two would make it. When he came to his parent's house to celebrate, Kaida, she looked so grown up. Like she had aged ten years mentally in order to have the strength and willpower she needs to get in.
Then she showed them the lightning.
Holy shit.
His Grandma Lillian had once that God had a very strange way of doing things. Tatsuya wasn't so sure about God, but the life going in a strange way, yeah.
Tatsuya shook himself coming back to the present time. He looked at his mother. When his dad called him telling him that Mom had been having a rough couple days, he decides that he give her a visit.
"Thank you, boys, for coming," she said.
"It's no problem, Mom," he said.
"Yeah, it beat eating at the office," Ryoto said.
"How is the new agency treating you?" their mother asked.
"It's good," Ryoto told her, "I get along with the boss pretty good."
"Well, that great."
They walked in silence for a few minutes. Tatsuya thought about the talk he had with Tama. they both agreed that today would be good.
"Hey," he said, both his mom and brother turning to look at him.
"Which name do you like better? Kohaku or Takara?"
"Why do you ask?" Ryoto questioned.
"Because Tama is positive that the baby is going to be a girl and if she right I want my daughter to have a good name."
The other two Raitoningus stopped and looked at him. Ryoto's jaw dropped. His mom covers her mouth with her hands.
"Well it's about time one of you boys give me a grandbaby," his mother said at last. Then they all broke out laughing. He hugged his mother.
"Oh, my goodness," she cried, a few tears of joy coming from her eyes.
"Congratulation," Ryoto said.
"Thanks."
"Mrs. Dragana!" a voice called.
Tatsuo turned her head in the direction of the voice. There was a tall kid with rectangle glasses, in a hero costume came running.
"Iida," she said look worried rushing to meet him.
"Villains!" he cried, "Villains have attacked the USJ! We've been split up all over the facilities. Some of the members of class 1-A were able to help me get out to warn you all!"
Mom face drain of color and blood. Wasn't Kaida in 1-A?
"Why haven't the alarms gone off!" she asked.
"We assume that one has a Quirk that blocking the signal!"
"How many are there?" Tatsuo asked.
"Too many to count," the kid said.
"Follow me," his mother ordered. All four of them raced down the hall.
"All Might! Pricespal Nezu!" she cried before running into what Tatsuya guessed to be the teacher's lounge. "Villians have attacked the USJ! Class 1-A is in there. Only Aizawa and Thirteen are there. The children are split up and the alarms aren't going off!"
The principal and the Symbol of Peace faces were covered in shock.
"Dragana, alert the other teachers," Nezu said. Tatsuo nodded before rushing out. "All Might," the blond man was already gone.
Then Nezu himself ran out of the room say something along the lines of, make an announcement.
Tatsuya felt numb.
Kaida.

"Did you really get into Yuuei?" Three-year-old Kaida had asked.
"Heck yeah, he said picking her up and spun her around the backyard. His little sister giggled as he set her down.
"You're going to be a hero?" She asked.
"Yep, and I'm gonna be like Mom and Dad and save people."
"I wanna be a hero too," she exclaimed, "and I'll save people and protect you and Nii-chan, Ry-chan, and Mommy, and Daddy!"
Tatsuya chuckled and picked her up again, "Right now, why don't we focus on me protecting you."

Tatsuya turns the boy named Iida around and asked, "Kaida. When was the last time you saw Kaida?"

My friend is very mad at me! :). This was a fun chapter to write. This is also the start of Kaida and Kirishima's friendship, which is super fun to write about. I'll see when I can get the next one up. Tomorrow the last day of my first Anime/Nerd convention! See later
