Chapter thirteen: The book of missions: right and wrong


"Is everyone ready?" Shigaraki asked the group.

Everyone nodded.

"Kurogiri open the portals."

Kurogiri opened several portals for each group.

Dabi, Twice, and Magne would deal with the hired heroes. The information Toga acquired stated that the pussycats would be there during the trip.

Muscular and I would deal with any other heroes and students that would be present. God, I don't know why I was paired with him. Muscular just appeared plain evil. He had no motivation or goal. He only destroyed for the sake of destroying. I guess there's no complaining. Shigaraki's orders are always final.

However, Toga, Moonfish, and Mustard would be just there to cause chaos. They have no important role. Well not to say Toga…

"Midiyoria," Shigaraki called me over. What did he want?

"Y-yes," I responded curiously.

"I want you to keep Muscular in line. Because he's a bit of a psycho."

I made a comeback

"And we are?" I said trying to tease Shigaraki.

"We-were different Midiyoria," Shigaraki said in a softer tone.

He quickly went back to his rude and lazy self. The Shigaraki I know.

"Just do the job, brat."

"Fine," I followed.

"Remember young Midiyoria," Kurogiri said. "While our goal is to kidnap young Bakugo, every villain here has a goal and purpose."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"While our objective is to kidnap him, every villain here has a reason for wanting to join the league. Believe in your ideals."

"Oh, I see…" I responded.

"Hurry, brat! They're leaving soon." Shigaraki rushed me.

"R-right," I said as I caught on the vanguard action squad.

We stepped inside the portal. Our mission awaited us.


It took me a while to regain my senses. I realized I was on a rocky cliff. The ground was hard and cold. The cold air might have been chilly for people, but for me, it was perfect. But I couldn't forget my mission. This was the largest operation we conducted yet.

"Who-who are you?" said a child's voice.

I turned to the voice. It was a kid with a horned cap. He looked about 4-5 years old. He was sitting on the edge of the cliff.

"Kid, you need to leave!" I commanded.

He got up from his spot with fists in his hands.

"Heroes are here! I will call them!" he threatened.

"Then call them! Just get the hell out of here!" I tried to persuade him with anger.

"Well, what do we have here?" said a man appearing out of the shadows.

"Muscular!" I exclaimed. "Don't attack!"

He ignores the order and proceeds to the kid.

He takes off his mask. The kid's eyes widened as he saw his sadistic face.

"W-wait," Kota's stutters. "You are the person that murdered my parents."

Kota's face forms into tears.

"I couldn't help it," he said with no remorse. "It's just who I am."

"Muscular!" I said as he turned his attention to me. "There is no need to hurt this kid. Even if he runs back to the heroes, it would be far too late."

"Nah," he said. "I'm just getting started."

Kota was crying. It would be the last time he ever lived.

I remember the death of my mother. She laid there on the ground cold. After that, I remembered Kurogiri's words.

"While our objective is to kidnap him, every villain has a reason to join the league. Believe in your ideals."

Screw it. I don't care if he's part of the league. He's was done for.

"Back the hell off!" I said menacingly.

My eyes were cold and my teeth were gritting. Every part of my body was ready to fight.

"So you wanna die as well? Well, I can't stop you then."

Muscular's attention he had for Kota was now projected at me.

I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid to die. Even if it means dying, doing what's right.

A dark aura surrounded my body. It was rushing through every part of my body.

I rushed at him with one fist ready to land a blow. But it didn't do anything. Smoke evaporated as he stood there with a sadistic smile.

"Heh," he said unfazed. "You're not bad kid,"

"But it will take a little more than that to beat me,"

Crash

Every part of my body felt unresponsive. The taste of iron coming from my mouth didn't help. How one hit could do so much damage.

Despite every odds against my side, I was able to stand on my feet through my own will.

"You want more?" he taunted. "Very well, then."

I didn't hesitate. I charged at him

Crash

"Damn it!" I whispered as I was too weak to save a little kid.

Muscular walked towards me and stopped. His murderous smile was enough to send chills to my heart. His maniacal eye only complimented his disgusting personality.

He grabbed me by the collar

"You should have stayed quiet," he warned. "But I get to kill you and the kid."

"It's a win-win."

Every event before what's happening now flashed before my eyes. From eating Katsudon with my mother, getting bullied by Ka-chan, and meeting the league. I guess this was the end. I closed my eyes. I didn't want to see his face. It would be better….

Splash

"The hell," he mumbled.

I opened my eyes. It was Kota.

His face was filled with tears.

"L-leave him alone," he threatened Muscular.

"So you wanna die first?" His smile grew bigger. "I'll grant you that wish."

He headed towards Kota with no remorse. Instead of lying on the ground, I jumped behind Muscular's back.

I held him in place.

"Kid!" I screamed in pain. "Drown him with water!"

Kota was hesitant, but he got around the idea.

"Mmmm," was the only sound he could muster as the kid's water abilities were drowning him.

Muscular tried to shake me off, but my firm grip wasn't going anywhere.

Muscular was lying on the ground.

"Is he dead-dead?" the scared child asked.

I bent down, checking for a pulse.

"He's not," I reassured him. "Just unconscious."

"W-why would you save me?" he asked. "You're supposed to be a villain."

I took a glance. I didn't know how to respond to his question. He was just a kid with simple good and evil view on people. No moral grey in his mind.

"The world isn't that simple," I said calmly. "It's complicated."

I sighed.

"Look, kid, let's take you to a hero."

Kota locked eyes with me. It was full of confusion and hostility. But he followed me regardless.

"Okay," he gave up asking.

We made our way down the mountain. It was covered by trees and bushes. The night helped with the alien vibe. We could be surrounded by the heroes and students any minute. I had to hurry.

Luckily, I saw lights miles away from me.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"K-Kota," he responded without hesitation.

"Well, Kota, you see those lights?" I pointed at them.

"Y-yea," he answered.

"Run! Run until you can't," I ordered. "If anyone comes to you, just run. Understand?"

Kota stared at the ground. His attention turned to me.

"Ok," was the final decision.

"Go now!"

Kota sprinted faster than any kid I knew. Hell, he was faster than Ka-chan.

I could no longer see him. I sighed with a burden finally gone.

"Now to find the others,"

I think. Oh, I learned how to add lines. That should make things cleaner.
