Usually, when a member of the League came into the tiny room, whether they were malicious (Hikiishi, Toga or Shigaraki), downright confusing (Kurogiri, Sako and Bubaigawara) or nice (Dabi and Iguchi), they had always entered via a portal. It had happened so often that Midoriya could always sense the portal whenever it opened; a small, cold spot outside his cell, the air slowly but surely moving towards it, as if it were being sucked in, before that faint, hissing sound as the portal opened.
And the second the portal opened, he could also tell which member of the League it was.
Shigaraki was the easiest to identify. He had the air of confidence and a complerely deranged aura. Toga had a more playful, cheeky, but equally deranged feel to her. Bubaigawara had a very clonflicting aura; there were times where he was calm, then agitated, then happy, then sad, all in a span of a few seconds. Sako had the most grandeur aura; he always wanted to show off, but it seemed that he couldn't figure out how to do that when all the boy could do was listen. Hikiishi seemed the most afraid of him out of all the members of the League; she was the easiest to discern from the rest.
Dabi was warm, literally. It didn't take much to tell him apart form the others. And Iguchi... he seemed to have an air of admiration around him, for some reason? It was confusing, to be honest, but Iguchi really seemed to like him a lot... it was odd.
Kurogiri was the weirdest, though. Midoriya could sense emptiness from him, a certain hollowness. It reminded him of those Nomus... except Kurogiri could talk, and had his own opinions. He was either a very weird Nomu... or he was trying to figure out what his purpose in life was, besides serving Shigaraki. Midoriya didn't dwell on it too much.
So, when Midoriya could hear the door opening, he found it odd. He was immediately on guard; Reiko was with him, and he wasn't going to let anyone hurt her. He had a muzzle on, and he couldn't see what was going on, but he wasn't going down without a fight.
"I can't see anything. Todoroki, can you make a small fire?"
Wait, was that Yaoyorozu?
He could sense some heat from where he presumed Todoroki was, and heard a chirp.
Ryuto.
"Reiko? So... this really is... Midoriya -"
He could practically smell the ozone in the air as Shinsou shocked himself by accident; it had a very distinct smell that Midoriya had gotten accustomed to after being slammed into the bars repeatedly and getting electrocuted. It was nasty, but at least Shinsou didn't seem too hurt by it.
"That's what he meant by generators. I'll deactivate it. I've seen my father do it before." He heard Uraraka walking out, before walking back in a few minutes later, "Alright, it's done."
What on earth where they doing here?!
He heard the sound of a key being inserted into a lock, and the sound of a metal cell door opening. He knew that there was a door, but how his classmates had gotten their hands on the key...
Did they actually come all the way here to save him?
He heard footsteps as someone got closer; Midoriya couldn't tell.
"Midoriya?"
It was Shinsou.
He felt Shinsou's hand pressing against his neck, and suppressed the urge to hiss; Toga had slashed him across the throat a few times, but Shinsou's hand was warm and it just felt nice, for some odd reason, that his classmates had come all this way for him.
For you? Don't be silly. Do you actually think they care about you? Or is this just a more drastic way of trying to gain your trust? So that they can break you again?
"I found a pulse... it's faint... but it's there. Midoriya, you awake?"
Midoriya didn't know anymore, as he tried to respond. His heart told him that they really came because they cared about him... but logically, it made sense that they didn't really want anything to do with him. No one did.
"Stop, don't move, okay? I'm going to try and take off your blindfold and muzzle, alright?"
He felt a warm sensation on his hand; Dabi was warm, but the contact between someone's hand, probably Shinsou's, since he was the closest, and his just made him feel weird inside; it was odd.
"They're dead knots, and they're too tight. Midoriya, can I cut the string?"
Midoriya nodded slightly, pushing the pain in his throat away as he did so. His mouth was filled with blood, and he often felt like throwing up, but he couldn't do anything; he couldn't open his mouth due to the muzzle, and he couldn't swallow, it would just make his throat hurt more from the bile.
The pressure around his head drop, and he could feel the blindfold being taken off his head. He experimentally opened his eyes; he had slammed his eyes shut the second he had realised he was blindfolded; leaving his eyes open would just distract him from focusing on his surroundings.
Almost immediately, a white hot pain flashed through his retinas, and he prompty slammed them shut, trying to block out the nausea that came with it.
"Alright, I'm going to try and take the muzzle off now. Just... stay still..."
Midoriya felt Shinsou fiddling around with the buckle of the muzzle; he had tried to undo it once on his own, but just moving his fingers hurt like shit.
He could feel the damned contraption being slipped off his face, and he couldn't resist the urge to throw up anymore. He jerked forward, emptying his mouth of its bloody contents, before he felt more blood rushing up his battered throat. He promptly spat it out, before he slumped back against the wall weakly. He reached up to try and wipe the blood that he could feel dripping down his jaw, but padded fingers, that was Uraraka for sure, no doubt, grabbed a hold of his hand and stopped him from doing so.
"Midoriya. Stop. You're just going to make it worse. Shinsou, can you pick the cuffs?"
He sensed some warmth, and his body instinctly moved against his will, and he pressed himself against the source of warmth. Almost immediately, his body was flooded with a warm, fuzzy feeling, and the tension in his body immediately leaked away to nothing.
It was oddly comforting.
It was probably against his better judgement, but it just felt nice. He could feel someone reaching out for him, a muscular arm that was most definately Iida, but at this point, he no longer cared. There was more to come, but for now, he just felt completely relaxed. He felt that he no longer had to put his guard up, he no longer had to worry about who was going to step through that damned portal.
For the first time since the training camp started, he finally felt safe.
"What on earth are you talking about?" Yagi snapped, "Where is Midoriya Izuku?"
Because he wants to die... All for One's statement echoed in his head.
"Of course, you don't know." All for One was oddly calm as he stood amongst the rubble, facing Yagi, "Are you aware that the poor child... has attempted suicide on many, many occasions in the past? He tried to give himself an overdose thrice, slit his wrists open a few more times. He's jumped twenty seven times, at the very least, and even tried to hang himself on one occasion."
"Tsukauchi, is everything he said true?" Chatora asked, and there was a long pause until Tsukauchi replied, "... yes."
"Why is he telling us this?" Sakamata growled.
"Shut up! What does this have to do with anything?" Yagi snapped, rushing forward with a punch as Takeyama gasped in horror as the sheer number of times that the boy had tried to kill himself.
"Everything. That boy shouldn't even be alive now." All for One grinned beneath his mask, and Hakamata growled, "Well, there's something wrong with your quirk, Tsukauchi. Midoriya's quirkless; there's no way he could be alive if this villain is really telling the truth."
"That's where you're wrong. The boy does indeed have a quirk." The villain reached out and intercepted Yagi's punch with a powerful blast of wind, knocking the hero back into a building.
"That's impossible." Sakamata hissed, "We saw the boy's medical records. Two pinky toe joints."
"Have you ever heard of trauma induced quirks?" All for One asked patronisingly, shaking his head, "Of course you don't. Ignorant fools. Everyone has the capacity to develop a quirk, but not all of them are so straightforward in their unlocking. Some people are just unlucky... and the conditions required to activate them are more... complicated. Not impossible to unlock, but it requires so many specific conditions for its usage that they might as well be non-existent. But the coding for a quirk exists within; quirks are, after all, just genetic mutations. Of course, in self preservation, the body itself may mess up the coding."
"What are you trying to say?" Yagi dislodged himself from the building, and rushed at All for One again, and the villain brought his arm up block it.
"Not much. Merely the fact that you heroes are failures. The boy has a quirk that allows him to live, and that it is so deeply tied to his soul that I can't take it. Trauma induced quirks are special, in their own way." All for One growled, using the long spikes from his Forced Quirk Activation quirk to stab Yagi's arm, casually deflecting the hero's attack.
"Wait... so that means... Midoriya isn't dead..." Chatora's eyes widened, as he processed what All for One had said. He looked around, eyeing all the broken
"Only by sheer dumb luck." The villain calmly replied, "You're very lucky that the boy wants to die so badly."
"Hang on. Keep him talking. We're on our way with backup! Endeavor's mopping all the Nomus up." Nishiya's voice came over the earpiece.
The villain raised his hands, his arms crackling with more electricity. Sakamata fired off a massive hypersonic wave, but All for One easily intercepted it with a powerful shockwave, causing a huge explosion that destroyed all the neighbouring buildings.
"What kind of heroes would let a child die like that?" All for One asked, shaking his head patronisingly, "You can't even save one child. You don't even know where he is. How are you going to "save" him like that?"
The ground was shaking violently, and Shinsou smacked away a wooden board that fell from the ceiling in an attempt to protect Midoriya. Uraraka and Yaoyorozu were crouching on the ground, trying to stabilize themselves, as Iida growled, "What's going on?"
Todoroki swerved aside as a chunk of concrete fell downwards, "Fighting on a wide scale. I'm going to deactivate my quirk."
The room was plunged into darkness, and Yaoyorozu hastily created a flashlight, "We're good... I think the shaking stopped."
"We need to get out of here, fast." Todoroki looked upwards, "I don't think the building can take two or three more quakes like that."
"But Midoriya's still chained up." Urakaka harshly whispered, "And we don't know what's going outside. If the villains see us, it's all over."
"We'll stand out like a sore thumb." Iida mumbled, before his eyes lit up, "Do you have some pen and paper?"
Uraraka dug into her pockets, fishing out a small ballpoint pen and a crumpled up piece of paper, "Yeah... I don't know why I bought them. I thought it may be useful."
"Thank goodness. Pass it over."
Iida took the pen and paper from her, and hastily scribbled on it. He retrieved the blindfold, and with Shinsou's penknife, cut off the string.
"A note. But we can't deliver it." Yaoyorozu stated.
"We can't, but Ryuto can. They won't pay any attention to a bird." Todoroki's eyes glinted, turning to the hawk that was currently settled with Reiko on Midoriya's lap.
"That would work..." Uraraka hummed, as Ryuto perked up, and hopped over to Iida. He stuck a talon out, much to Iida's surprise, but Iida rolled the note up and quickly tied it to Ryuto's talon.
"Alright. That should do. Be careful, alright?" Iida pat Ryuto on the head, before the bird flapped his wings and zoomed out of the door, disappearing into the night.
"Now... we just wait." Yaoyorozu sighed, as the building was hit by another quake.
"Now, we're going to -"
Nezu was cut off as Aizawa's phone vibrated, and the Erasure hero leaned over to check on it. It was set to only vibrate if he was contacted by the police or any other heroes...
... that meant they needed him for something.
The press conference was purposely located three cities away from Kamino, so Aizawa could get there quickly, while not being affected by the attack on the League. The only thing All for One had going for him was his ability to steal and use multiple quirks. Even if Aizawa couldn't fully erase the effects of All for One's quirks, he would definitely give the heroes an edge.
Aizawa quickly unlocked his phone, and opened up the message that Tsukauchi sent him. He quickly glanced at Nezu, and the animal principal nodded.
"Where are you going!?" A reporter yelled.
Nezu turned to address the crowd of reporters as Aizawa slipped out of his seat, "Aizawa has been called to do some hero work, and will not be present for the rest of the press conference."
"You can't just do that! You didn't do your job when-"
"So let him do his job, right now." Nezu growled.
Aizawa quickly donned his hero costume, and exited the building via the backdoor. He hopped onto a motorbike, and fished the keys out of his pocket. It was Kayama's bike, but she was participating in the attack on the League, and had lent him her bike in case he was called in as well. He started up the engine, before he sped off towards Kamino Ward.
It only took him a few minutes to get to the city right next to Kamino, and he quickly parked the bike, and hopped off, opting to go the rest of the way by foot.
"Eraser!" Nishiya yelled, spotting the Erasure Hero as he made his way to where All for One was, "Come on. Gran Torino, Present Mic and Endeavor's got the hideout covered, we need to go to the warehouse, fast."
"Where's Midoriya?" Aizawa asked, running alongside Nishiya, as Kamihara caught up to them, "Not in the hideout, and apparently, not in the warehouse as well. We're were planning on finding him while you help All Might deal with that villain."
"He's called... One for All? Or was it All for One?" Nishiya asked.
"Doesn't matter." Aizawa growled, "Let's go."
They quickly reached the evacuation perimeter that Tsukauchi had set up, and the police force quickly parted to let the three heroes through.
"How are you going to find Midoriya?" Aizawa asked, as the sound of an engine was heard, gradually getting louder and louder.
Tensei skid to a stop, "Alright, I'm here. Tsukauchi told me that we had to find Midoriya?"
"Yep. He could be anywhere, but our top priority is the area surrounding the fight between All Might and the villain." Nishiya said, "They're causing a lot of destruction; if Midoriya were to be in any of them..."
"Let's go. We don't have time to waste." Kamihara stated, as a screech rang out through the air, "What was that?"
Aizawa looked upwards, as a small black speck in the sky suddenly dived downwards, barrelling towards them. Nishiya quickly extended the wood on his arm to try and catch the object, but it merely swerved out of the way, dodging Nishiya's attack entirely.
"Watch out!" Kamihara growled, and was about to activate his quirk when Aizawa realised who it was and put his hand out, "Stop."
"What? This is that villain with multiple quirks we're talking about." Nishiya protested, "Anything could be -"
"He's harmless." Aizawa glared at Nishiya, before holding his arm out slightly, "Ryuto!"
The bird, they finally managed to make out what it was, swooped down, slowing his descent, before landing on Aizawa's arm.
"I didn't know you had a pet." Tensei stared at Ryuto, as the hawk moved to his leg, grabbing the note that was tied there, before turning to face Aizawa, chirping.
"He's Midoriya's bird, and he went missing this morning from the dorms." Aizawa grumbled, unrolling the note, as Tensei blinked, "Uh... UA is seven hours away by foot."
Aizawa stared at the note, and groaned, shoving it in Tensei's face, "Ingenium, what is your little brother doing here?!"
Tensei took a close look at the note.
"Dear Heroes. We have currently found Midoriya Izuku. He is located in an abandoned building, badly injured, and is chained to a wall. This hawk will lead you to his location. Please come and save him."
It wasn't signed, but it was clearly Iida's handwriting.
"Well, we don't have time to waste. Let's go. Ryuto, right? Lead the way to Midoriya." Kamihara spoke up, "Ingenium, Kamui and I will get him back. You go help All Might."
Ryuto perked up at the mention of Midoriya's name, before taking to the skies once more, Kamihara, Nishiya and Tensei hot on his trail. Aizawa turned as a shockwave blasted outwards, kicking a huge cloud of dust up into the air. He growled, running towards the cloud of dust, "You hurt my student, I'm going to make you wish you never even attacked UA in the first place."
"I'll tell you this, the child you seek is somewhere in this city." All for One spoke up, catching Yagi's punches, "Are you saving your strength, just in case he's close? Well... it's too late for that, anyways. He could be a blood splatter under one of these rocks right now. It's rough, ain't it? To be these creatures called "heroes"."
All for One reached out to try and attack, and frowned slightly when there wasn't any red electricity. A band of grey was wrapped around his hand and yanked to the side, and All for One looked up, just in time to see an angry Aizawa charging at him.
"You!" Aizawa spat, using his capture weapon to knock All for One off balance, kneeing him in the face. He quickly dove out of the way as Yagi charged, All for One quickly regaining his balance and blocking another one of Yagi's punches.
"An erasure quirk. Haven't seen one of those in a very, very long time. You're a rare breed, Eraser Head." All for One stated, "And your scarf. Interesting. Did you know that your kind used to be killed, back in the days. No one wanted their powers to be gone, after all."
"Says you." Aizawa growled, throwing his capture weapon out again.
All for One easily dodged it, "Too bad you weren't caught alongside Void and ... Ragdoll, was that her name?"
"Don't get near him." Yagi faced Aizawa, "He wants your quirk, now. If he touches you, he can take your quirk."
"Well, that's bloody obvious." Aizawa snapped, "Or else he would have taken everyone else's quirks!"
"Eraser! Do you know where Kamui and Edgeshot are? They were supposed to be here a few minutes ago!" Chatora yelled, intercepting a stray shockwave before it could destroy another building.
"They went with Ingenium to find Midoriya!" Aizawa replied, jumping backwards as All for One lunged at him, before activating his quirk on the villain, allowing Yagi to land a punch.
"Speaking of the child... are you aware that his quirk is the reason he's like this?" All for One smirked, waiting for the moment Aizawa blinked to blast Yagi into a building, before using his warping quirk to warp Aizawa directly in front of him.
Aizawa blinked in confusion, and All for One grabbed onto his head.
"Smart boy." All for One laughed, looking down into Aizawa's crimson, glowing orbs, "You're smarter than I took you for. But I wonder how long you can keep that up, your dry eye coupled with the injury from our raid on UA."
Sakamata fired off a hypersonic wave at All for One, distracting the villain, letting Hakamata pull Aizawa out of the villains grasp, "Careful. If he gets your quirk -"
"He can't use my quirk here." Aizawa shook his head, "He has no eyes; I saw. He wants to take my quirk out of the equation, probably for future League endeavors."
"Got it. But still... you should keep your distance." Sakamata walked over as Aizawa activated his quirk on All for One again, letting Yagi overpower him and knocking him into a building.
"I see that you're putting more strength into your punches. You think that your comrades can find him so quickly?" All for One asked, "You may have avoided the worst outcome, his death, because of sheer luck, but you cannot avoid the second worst outcome. The boy will suffer, regardless of whether you find him or not."
All for One reared his fist back to attack, and Yagi blocked the punch.
"You're not just fighting to save the child. You're fighting because of her as well. I merely came to talk about Midoriya's quirk... but if you really want to fight, I will fight too. In the past, that fist crushed my comrades and you were named as the Symbol of Peace. You must have had a very good view from atop our sacrifices. I won't let you fight without reserve, though. Heroes have a lot of things they need to protect, don't they? You will get him back alright, broken in both the mind and body."
"We found him, and he's really not doing too well. Call an ambulance, quick!" Nishiya reported.
The villain laughed, "Too bad. You can't even protect one child from himself. How are you supposed to be the Symbol of Peace?"
"Shut up! You always toy with people like that! You break them! Steal from them! Take advantage and control them! Scoffing irrationally at people trying to live their lives! He's just a child!" Yagi growled, as All for One raised his non-existent eyebrows.
"Breaking the boy was really none of our doing. The boy was already so far gone before Tomura even laid his eyes on him. So many failed attempts to kill himself... Are you aware that Midoriya's quirk traps him here, not just in the world of the living, but in the very mindset that makes him hurt himself? His quirk makes him want to die, just so that he wouldn't perish. His body forces him to suffer in order to live. Even if I could take it... it would be absolutely useless to me, Tomura and his comrades. Such a screwed up sense of self-preservation, very unfortunate, is it not?"
All for One attacked Yagi, only for the hero to harshly grab his arm in anger.
"You're laughing at his suffering!? I can't forgive you for that!"
Yagi slammed his fists into All for One's face, breaking his mask, cracking the ground beneath them.
"Oh? Is that anger and guilt I'm seeing? You seemed to be very worked up about something. I heard the same line from the previous One for All successor, Nana Shimura. You two really are similar. She was a woman with no skills whose ideals got ahead of her. She's an embarrassment to me, who created One for All. She died in a very pathetic way."
"Toshinori, calm down, you idiot." Torino's voice growled through the ear piece, "He's trying to piss you off and make you act rashly. Don't let him talk."
Yagi tried to ignore the news helicopter that was flying about above, and focused on All for One. He needed to focus; his fighting style was a lot different from the last time he had fought the villain. There was no way he could win in a head on fight; he needed to be tricky.
Yagi growled, before charging forwards. All for One quickly activated a few of his quirks in order to tank the damage, but the hero merely grabbed All for One, and tossed him into the distance, before jumping after him. He needed to get away from the other heroes; All for One could use that warping quirk of his to try and use them as human shields.
Another quake shook the building, and more debris came falling down on the students. Iida batted the falling concrete away, preventing it from hitting Yaoyorozu, who was trying to find some way to break the cuffs that held Midoriya prisoner. Uraraka was holding the flashlight up for her.
"Urg... I hope Ryuto's okay..." She murmured, "He could have gotten hurt out there."
"We don't know if there are any other heroes around." Todoroki spoke up, "All Might may be the only person here, fighting off some villain."
Midoriya was still leaning on Shinsou's shoulder, and his condition hadn't gotten any better. He was still coughing out a lot of blood, and his breathing had gotten heavier.
"Hang on, okay, Midoriya?" Shinsou muttered, "Help's coming real soon. Yaoyorozu, instead of the cuffs, can we melt the chains directly?"
Yaoyorozu shook her head, "No. The chains are made of a metal with a very, very high heat capacity. Todoroki won't be able to melt it before the heat travels down to the cuffs and hurts Midoriya. It's also very strong; we can't just break it with force, and we don't have anyone that strong."
"What about the bricks that the chains are attached to?" Todoroki asked.
"Too risky. The chains were practically built into the wall, and the building is unstable enough. One wrong move and everything comes falling down on us." Yaoyorozu shook her head, "We don't have many other options. The safest way is to wait for the pros to come. They'll probably have better ideas than us."
Suddenly, Reiko perked up, when another quake hit the building, and a loud rumble was heard overhead.
Iida looked upwards, "The building's coming down on us!"
"Huddle together and crouch down!" Todoroki ordered, shooting to his feet. Yaoyorozu pressed herself against the wall, as Iida and Uraraka shuffled closer to Shinsou and crouched down. Todoroki lifted his right hand, as ice blasted upwards, catching all the falling debris.
He reeled in his quirk, before examining his handiwork. He couldn't hear anything moving or falling, but his ice was much more brittle can concrete; any more incoming quakes would destroy his ice, and while Todoroki could keep putting his ice up to protect his friends, the ceiling was getting lower and lower, and the cold, icy temperature wasn't helping Midoriya's condition one bit.
Todoroki turned to Yaoyorozu, "Protecting Midoriya only. No fighting. I still remember your rules."
He spared a glance at Midoriya, who had unconsciously curled in on himself, desperately trying to conserve his own body heat. "Sadly... I can't use my fire, or the ice will melt."
Shinsou shuffled slightly closer to Midoriya, "Should we call Aizawa-sensei? I know he's at the press conference... but -"
Another quake hit, shattering the ice. Todoroki stumbled, and was about to try and stop the debris from falling on them again when a voice at the door yelled out, "I got this!"
Wood rushed into the room, rapidly creeping through every nook and cranny available and supporting the entirety of the building, and the students looked towards the door, as two figures ran in, a bird flying in a few seconds later.
Tensei continued to follow Ryuto.
If this really was Midoriya's bird, then he couldn't be more than seven weeks old; according to Iida, Midoriya had gotten him right after the Sports festival.
What he was doing in a place like this, Tensei didn't know.
Ryuto led them further past several buildings, when suddenly, they felt a powerful shockwave rippling through the ground.
Several buildings around them were starting to crumble, when suddenly, they felt a drop in temperature as ice spikes erupted out of one building in the distance.
"Well, then. I guess we've found it." Kamihara stated, speeding towards the building, when another shockwave blasted outwards, completely shattering the ice.
"I got this!" Nishiya yelled, using his quirk to support the building, "Are they inside?"
Tensei and Kamihara ran into the building, and spotted the six teenagers, looking up at them warily.
"Didn't think I'd see you in a place like this, little brother." Tensei said, turning back to face Nishiya, "Found them."
"Get the kids out fast. This building has really weak foundations. I don't know how long it can hold up." Nishiya growled, making more wood to try and help support the building, before speaking into his earpiece, "We found him, and he's really not doing too well. Call an ambulance, quick!"
"You four, get out." Tensei ordered, "Shinsou, wait until Edgeshot gets Midoriya, then move."
Kamihara carefully picked his way over to Midoriya's limp body, as Iida, Uraraka, Yaoyorozu and Todoroki raced out of the building. Ryuto tried to land, but he stumbled over some debris and face planted into the ground. Uraraka carefully picked him and cradled him gently, before following the others.
The hero crouched down beside Midoriya, and Shinsou mumbled, "We couldn't find a keyhole. I know you told me to look out for those."
"I've seen keyholes like this. It's no wonder you couldn't find the keyhole. It's located on the inside of the cuff. You can't pick it from that position, and you need a special key in order to unlock it." Kamihara make his fingers thinner, and tried to reach for the cuff, only for Midoriya to flinch away from him.
"Wait, he's awake?" Kamihara blinked, as Midoriya slowly opened his eyes, revealing his dull green eyes, "I'm not going to hurt you, okay?"
Kamihara pressed his finger to the inside of the tight cuffs. He quickly found the keyhole, and promptly unlocked the first cuff, before moving on to the other one. Shinsou gently picked Reiko up and deposited her on the floor, allowing Kamihara to slip his arms under Midoriya's knees and behind his back, easily picking up the malnourished boy.
Midoriya weakly tried to pull himself away from Kamihara's grasp, but the hero had a gentle but firm grip on the severely injured boy. If it weren't for the fact that All for One told them about Midoriya's quirk, Kamihara would be wondering how the heck this boy was still alive.
"Midoriya, he's a hero, he's going to get you out of here. Just wait, okay?" Shinsou pushed himself up, and Kamihara turned to face the door. "We need to get out, now. The others should have called an ambulance."
Shinsou and Kamihara ran to the door, where the others were waiting for them, and Nishiya heaved a sigh of relief. He gently lowered the broken building to the ground, before turning around, "Let's go."
Tensei heard a crash, and looked upwards, eyeing the news helicopter that was flying towards the source of the crash, "Dammit. What's the press doing here? It's too dangerous!"
"All Might and All for One's fight has been shifted to another location. The ambulance is arriving soon. We're going to try and help you guys with the boy." Sakamata's voice came from the earpiece.
"We've got back up." Kamihara nodded, "Let's go."
"Follow me." Tensei called out, as he and Nishiya ran in one direction, and the students followed him. Kamihara carefully adjusted his grip on Midoriya, before he raced after Tensei, Reiko waiting for him to move, before following behind.
Kurogiri teleported back to the group, "They found him faster than you expected, Shigaraki. Shall we start now?"
"Yes." Shigaraki nodded, "Toga, you're not coming. Your quirk is vital for the next part of the plan after this. Kurogiri, bring the others."
Kurogiri immediately opened up a portal, and Hikiishi, Dabi, Iguchi, Bubaigawara and Sako stepped through it, followed by Shigaraki.
They immediately appeared at the top of a pile of rubble, and they surveyed the broken buildings all around them.
"There. The one at the back." Sako pointed, and Shigaraki turned, seeing two pro heroes running ahead with five students, and one other pro running a fair distance behind them, carrying something in his arms.
"Dabi, go."
The scarred villain sighed, before he raised his hand, mentally adjusting the power behind it so that it just looked impressive, but didn't cause too much damage. He aimed at Kamihara, before blue flames erupted from his arm.
"Sorry, kid."
There was a flash of blue from the corner of his vision.
Kamihara turned, spotting the incoming blue fire, and quickly whirled around, using his body to try and shield Midoriya. The blue flames washed over them, blasting them backwards, before they finally died down, and Kamihara coughed, burns covering his body. He heard a faint "Sorry kid", but ignored it; he was really, really lucky that the fire was strong enough to burn him, but not powerful enough to hurt Midoriya. The only impact Midoriya had received was when they had been blasted backwards into some rubble, but he was already so badly injured, so that just made it worse.
Shigaraki rushed forwards, as Kamihara tried to push himself to his feet, eyeing Midoriya's body lying helplessly on the ground. He was shaking slightly, but the boy was completely drained of any energy to do anything.
Suddenly, a white blur shot past him, and Kamihara blinked as a white cat, Reiko, as one of the students called her, raced forwards towards Shigaraki. She yowled angrily, and lunged, as Shigaraki tried to kick her away, but Reiko easily dodged his foot and slashed her claws at Shigaraki's ankle, drawing some blood.
Sadly, Reiko's attempts to stop Shigaraki were in vain, as Shigaraki finally nailed her in the stomach, easily kicking her away. She gave a screech in pain as she flew through the air and crashed into the ground by Yaoyorozu's feet, the girl gently picked the cat up.
"What's the hold up - The League?!" Sakamata yelled, as he ran up to Tensei, Aizawa, Hakamata and Chatora behind him.
The villain growled, before continuing to make his way to Midoriya, his hands outstretched. Kamihara desperately pushed himself up, and readied himself to attack Shigaraki and cut off his blood circulation.
Shigaraki lunged.
And suddenly, the temperature dropped, as a murderous pressure blasted out from nowhere.
