Uraraka and the rest of 1A dragged their feet in exhaustion as they finally arrived to the camp ground to be greeted by Aizawa and the Wild Pussy Cats. "Well done! Although you didn't make it here as purrfect as we would you still made it nonetheless!" Cheered Ragdoll

"Come on. It's time for you kids to eat." Groaned Aizawa as he turned towards the outdoor kitchen area. It was then Kendo noticed a little boy leaning against the wall "Uh who's that?"

"Oh that's my cousins kid. He's been living with us." Answered Mandalay.

Kirishima approached the boy reaching out his hand "Hi there. I'm Kirishi..." unfortunately he wasn't able to finish his introduction as a tiny fist drove its way right into Kirishimas sacred family jewels.

"Gah! Eeeeeeeeeee!" He gasped and yelled clutching in pain falling over but was quickly assisted by Iida who glared at the boy in shock "You Fiend of Child!!! A fist to the scrotum is unforgivable!!"

Uraraka, kendo, Mina and Jirou along with majority of the boys cringed at the sight. Momo gasped and covered her mouth with her hand. Kaminari and Mineta bowed in respect like they've just lost a brother in arms.

Meanwhile Bakugo was curled over pissing himself laughing. The boy known as Kota began storming of grumbling to himself "The last thing I want is to be around some wannabe heroes!"

The students of classes 1A and 1B spent the last few days training brutally to improve their quirks. It was exhausting to say the least. As the evening approached they began preparing what was to be known as a game of courage.

However the students that failed exams would have to partake in Aizawas late night lessons to make up for their examination failures. So Kendo and Mina were both pretty bummed out they were missing the fun.

But up on a nearby hillside Dabi watched the valley below as he waited for the rest of the squad to appear. He turned to the teen beside him "You know your job right Midoriya?"

Izuku looked up towards him and nodded nervously "Y-yeah. I go up and keep an eye out from the mountain. And warn you guys if anything unexpected happens."

"Exactly. It's the only useful thing some quirkless kid like you can do for us. So go make your way there now." Spoke Dabi looking back towards the valley.

Izuku frowned at him pointing out he was quirkless but began making his way towards the mountain like he was told but stopped to face Dabi "I still haven't been told what we're doing here."

Dabi sighed and rubbed his temple "If you don't know then there's no need for you to know. Just go do what you were told kid."

Izuku stuffed his hands into his pockets unsatisfied with the answer he got but knew it was pointless to argue and went on his way to the mountain side.

Once he made it there he quickly discovered he wasn't alone and saw a boy in a red cap sitting along mumbling "Stupid heroes."

Izuku quickly looked around to make sure he was alone and then stepped out to approach "What are you doing here?" He asked.

The boy stood up and spun around to face him frowning. "this is my hideout! I'm allowed to be here. Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with your stupid hero friends training or something?"

Izuku blinked and chuckled quietly as he sat on the edge of the cliff "Im not with them. Even though deep down I wanna be."

Kota looked at him and frowned "It's stupid. People trying to be heroes. Why can't you be anyway?"

Izuku stared out into the valley as a memory played in his mind before answering "Because to be a hero you need a quirk. It's kind of impossible to be one with out it."

Kota stared in surprise and sat down beside Izuku but kept his distance "You... don't have a quirk?" Izuku smiles sadly and nodded confirming it. Before the conversation could carry on further the two boys noticed the forest begin to burn blue with some sections being ingulfed by a thick mist.

Izuku sighed realising that the league have begun their attack while Kota began stare in shocked horror. "wh-whats happening?"

"It's alright. If we stay here we'll both be fine." Spoke Izuku. Kota went to argue but was interrupted by a new voice behind them.

"I wouldn't know about that."

Izuku turned to see the villian known as Muscular standing behind them grinning devilishly at the two "You're the quirkless kid right? What are you doing being buddy buddy with this runt?"

Izuku felt uncomfortable in the mans presence as he approached "Whats it matter to you? He's not gonna get in the way of the mission if he's here with me."

"He's a witness. And plus it'll be real fun just to kill him for the sake of it."

Izuku body froze hearing that and began to stutter "y-you can't b-be serious? He's just a k-kid?"

"And it'll be all the more easier. Now step aside while I handle him." Spoke Muscular as muscle began to form on his body.

"I-It's you... you're the one that killed my mom and dad aren't you!" Yelled Kota as tears streamed down his face. Izuku glanced his way for a moment then back to the villian.

"I kill lots of people kid. So good chance idea. Sorry you'll have to forgive me for not remembering. It's pretty long list of dead I got." He chuckled clenching his fist drawing it back.

Izuku dived forward tackling Kota out of the way saving him from the crushing impact of the fist. Muscular frowned and turned to face them "What gives? I was about to turn him into paste."

Izuku quickly stood up and made sure Kota was behind him "I didn't join for this. I didn't agree to killing anyone. Especially kids!"

"Shigaraki told me I can kill whoever I want as long as it wasn't the Bakugo kid. So I guess this technically makes you a traitor." Muscular smirked deciding he gets to kill two people instead.

Izukus eyes widen at the mention of the name "Bakugo?... what does Shigaraki want with Kacchan?!" He yelled demanding an answer.

"No idea. But even if I did know. I wouldn't tell you especially since you'll be dead in the next 5 minutes." Sneered Muscular as he drew his fist back.

Izuku gulped turning to Kota "Run! Get out of here!" Was all he managed to yell before a fist drove into Izukus chest and sent him flying into the cliff face with loud crash and cracking of rock.

Kota shook as he watched the dust settle to see Izuku bloody and broken gasping for air and choking on his own blood. Muscular began to laugh insanely "Bahahaha that was a little punch to. Wow you're so weak it's pathetic. But what else should I expect from a quirkless runt like you. You guys only exist to die easy."

Izuku looked up at the villian weakly clenching his teeth trying to ignore the pain. But eventually he became overwhelmed and passed out. Only thing he could face now was pure darkness and silence.
