It was, indeed, a frightening sight.

The Nomu rose up from the last attack he took, a bitten out waist and incomplete muscle-without-skin body parts.

'When did it regenerate?!

It doesn't matter right now, I have to-'

Just before I could react, that thing shoved Todoroki's body into the wall facing us.

'Shit!'

I wanted to run and check on her, however...

She was already on her feet.

'How...?! She was just thrown 100 metres away...! And that hit she just received...!'

She closed her eyes, then slid on her balck ice right toward us.

"Nomu, go, only injury." Shikaragi ordered, nearly spitting the last word.

'Oh no you don't!'

I broke into a painful run to the monster, but it was too fast for me to keep up.

'Damn he's as fast as All Might! '

Although I knew far too well that I cannot fight. The pain of a snapped and twisted arm is not exactly easy to endure. Not to mention the blood loss.

The monster collided with my student again, but this time she had a large shield of black ice blocking the impact. Then she planted her hands in the monster's chest and started freezing it from the inside.

The storm around her grew bigger and stronger with each passing moment, until it filled the whole central plaza, it's cold penetrated through my skin like needles.

However, something was wrong.

The Nomu was not the only one freezing.


'This ice storm...! Could it be... Imoto?!'

I activated my ice and broke into an accelerated sliding to reach the storm as fast as I can.

'The pain I just felt... it was so overwhelming... what on earth has happened to her...'

I was boiling with worry, the worst possibilities banging the doors of my mind like crazy.

'She did not... she's not gone... I can still feel her.'

I incapacitated the few villains that blocked my way, my focus aimed at a one and only goal.

Reaching my twin.

"Imoto...!"


And at last I did reach her. I finally found my other half.

But she was caught up in a literal mess. Ice stalagmites pointed from the ground in different positions, all swirling around a centre, getting bigger and thicker as they approach it.

The centre was an almost frozen Hikoori and a monster.

I couldn't think... my legs moved on their own.

'Shit! Imoto... imoto no! She's going to kill herself!!'


I was floating in nothingness, void completely covering everything. It was cold and empty; it was dark and lonely.

My eyes remained close, my senses still and numb. Slowly, I was fading away, giving in to the dark's hold.

(A/N: I recommend listening to the anime Neverland Ost: Isabella's lullaby. while reading this part.)

But suddenly, I heard a sweet, sweet lullaby, one that accompanied my early childhood, my happy days.

"Oka... san..." I called silently.

Yes, it was in mother's voice.

However, there was no answer, just the lullaby that kept on chanting.

Then I felt the ground beneath my body that was now in a laying position. A faint light shone in the distance and the lullaby necame higher. This attracted my curiosity.

'What is this?'

But my inner voice was one of child's; it was my voice when I was four years old.

I looked at my hands and legs. Yes, I was smaller.

'But did I even grow up? Wasn't this my normal age...?'

I groggingly sat up, shaking my head left and right.

I stared at the light again, studying it. The melody of the lullaby was so welcoming and warm, my mother's voice making it as soft as ever. I slowly walked towards it, a strange longing tingling deep down in my heart.

"Oka-san... I want oka-san." I kept mumbling as I walked faster and faster, the gentle voice attracting me like a siren's song. The more steps I took, the colder it became, the more light headed I felt. I reached my tiny, weak hand to the light, the lullaby becoming so intense. It started to de-materialize, merging with the small dot of light. But I did not care, I just wanted to feel that warmth and lovemore. The more of me that I lost, the bluer, colder, darker and stronger that dot grew.

Slowly, I was disappearing.

"Im...to!"

I suddenly heard a scream, but it was far away, muffled, weak. However, I kept walking to the direction of mommy

"Imo...! imo..to! Plea.." I heard the same person call again, this time clearer, the concern rising in it.

'The voice... it's so... familiar.'

I stood for a moment, listening further.

But the lullaby grew stronger, overcoming that person's calls. Shaking it away, I walked up to the cold spot, as it grew more and more black.

"Oka-san... I miss oka-san..." I repeated, as I reached the now black and icy blue sun-like thing, the source of mother's lovable humming. I was almost going to touch it.

"Hikoori! Don't go!" The same familiar voice interrupted me. I stopped dead in my tracks. I looked around me and found nothing, not a soul was around.

I reached out to the gentle iced sun again.

"I am sorry... I am so sorry... please don't go... don't leave me... I love you with all my heart, please... please I beg do not leave..." Again, this time much softer, much more desperate, I was stopped by the very same call.

I stopped again, and listened closely.

'Who is that...?'

"Please... imoto... no, my other half, my other soul... don't die... without you, I can't... I can't live. You are my everything, the reason I can still keep on clinging to this life... please, stay..." This time, the voice did not scream, nor did it fight, it pleaded, it sobbed.

The lullaby tried to conquer it with it's bewitching singing, to make me dismiss it again. It was clouding my senses, trying to pull me away from the calling. I was going to give up to it, but..

But then, I felt warmth engulf me. I felt a soft, warm embrace from behind my back. The lullaby intensified, to forcefully trap me, but my senses were cleared, my focus aimed at one thing: the other half of my soul.

Tears streamed down my cheeks without me controlling them. Then two words escaped my mouth: nii-san.

I felt my eyes twitch and open, even though I have been feeling like they were already opened.

The warm embrace I felt before was still there.

"Nii-san...?" I asked weakly, my vision still blurry and my head unbalanced. He pressed on me further, his warmth increasing. He did not answer, just let out a light sob.

I looked at my front, this time the sight back to it's normal focus. I was stunned. I was literally pinned to the Nomu, with black ice.

"What on earth...?!" I mumbled under my breath.

"Imoto... you're still here..." Shoto said in a wavering voice.

"Todoroki free yourself now!" I heard Aizawa sensei's distant order.

But before any of us could conduct any kind of action, the Nomu was wrapped from in front of me, breaking the ice connecting reappeared behind my twin. It raised it's almost frozen hand, aiming to rip through him.

'Nii-san...

Nii-san!'

"Todoroki!" Sensei screamed.

The adrenaline rocketed in my veins like crazy. Action was the only thing I am proceasing in my brain. One moment and in a swift move, Shoto, my other half, was shoved away, the other Nomu's hand gets through her stomach.

For a single moment, I felt light and unbalanced. Then, an indescribable pain took over all my senses. It was like if I was being squashed and stabbed repetitively and the whole time.

"Imotoooooo!"

"Todorokiiiiiii"

I felt a menacing iron taste in my mouth. I the felt my abdomen crawl and twist, and I spout out a ton of blood. Unable to stand from the unbearable pain, I collapsed to the ground, feeling so lightheaded. I could not focus anymore, but I still had some fading away input. I felt warmth and shaking.

'Nii-san...' I thought, although couldn't call him out. I was too weak to even speak.

But this was not everything.

"Do not mourn, because unlike her, you're going to die." A raspy voice mused.

It was Shikaragi, and he was aiming for his life.

I tried to move, to call my twin or to at least attract his attention, but could not. The energy the rampage I made in addition to the injury took was almost all I had.

'Please... please someone... anyone... save him...'

"Le... let go of him!" I heard a desperate, concerned and courageous cry.

Then, I heard a smash and felt a strong gust of wind hit my face. After that, came a yelp of fear and a hopeless pained call.

But the last thing that reached my ears was, this:

"Have no fear, why? Because I am here!"

I smiled reassuringly as I drifted away in deep, deep sleep.


Shock took over all my senses.

'She was here, in my arms a moment ago...

Now she is...

She is on the ground swimming in her blood.'

I wanted to scream, to scream so high, but my voice died inside of my throat.

'She is...'

I held her drifting to unconsciousness form in my arms carefully, shaking.

I was so consumed in the situation that I did not notice the hand of the villains' leader reaching out to disintegrate me;

"Do not mourn, because unlike her, you're going to die." He mused.

But he couldn't do it, because someone stopped him.

"Le... let go of him!" I heard a desperate, concerned and courageous cry.

It was Midoriya.

But the villain was unfazed, actually he became annoyed. In a silent, raspy voice he called his pet: "Nomu." In the time of a single eye blink, it was in front of it's leader, taking the boy's full force of his " smash".

"Eh...?" He muttered, and I could see the reason. His punch should have at least broken a bone or two in that Nomu, although it was standing there, motionless as if nothing has happened to him. He did not have as much as a single scratch.

"Damn it, Midoriya!" Ereaserhead screamed in clear worry as he reached out to Midoriya to save him, having an exact idea of what is waiting from him. He threw his scarf to grab him away from the Nomu now grabbing his hand violently. But he was not going to be left on his own accord, since someone else was on his tail. The raspy voiced childish villain was attacking him, his hand bent dangerously closer and closer to his form, aiming to dissolve him into nothing but dust. One of them was going to die.

Rage boiled inside of me, it boiled to the point I felt like I am becoming a volcano. For a split second, that volcano was going to blow up violently... I was going to break my vow, I was going to use my fire on those two monsters to make them unable to move, not until they reach a prison cell that suits them.

However, something stopped me from doing it.

It was All Might. All Might finally was here.

"I had a bad feeling in my gut and saw the signal you have sent me with the ice tower, so I cut the principal's long story short and decided to come check on all of you. I happened upon young Iida on my way here... thanks to him I heard of what happened."

'So it was Iida's doing...'

I felt my heart leap. My hero, no our hero came here to save us.

"It's all right now, because I am here!" He chanted, ripping his tie angrily out of his throat. This time though... this time, he was not smiling.

Everyone, all of us students screamed his name in great relief.

Then, not even in a second, I found myself in his right arm, still holding Hikoori, while Aizawa sensei and Midoriya were on his left one. He descended us to the ground gently.

"I apologize, Aizawa..." He said.

I looked around me, trying to process what just happened. Yes I was on the ground, safe, away a good fifty meters from the villains.

"It not the time for that now." He said strictly, but clearly in pain. "You two, Midoriya and Todoroki, head to Recovery Girl's office quick. The Todoroki twin needs immediate medical attention. Try as much as possible to do not move her to avoid any more blood loss." He ordered us.

I nodded, as I stood on my feet, carefully carrying my soul to safety. However Midoriya did not move, not yet. He looked fearfully at All Might, like if he knew something very dangerous. I dismissed it and walked away ahead of him. But what I heard as I retreated shivered my spine.

"...Could it be true then...? That you're weakening..." The villain leader mused threateningly.


...

The Author is going to run away because she will be hunted now. She will disappear into the night like a shadow, eat only dried out, molded bread for the rest of her life.

Author-without chan is out, after thanking Christine Ryan for her awesome review and her daily keep-up.

Pfffffft lol :"D

But seriously now, I think I over-did it. Like, a lot.

Poor Hikoori, she has to handle someone like me.

Oh and one more thing; it may seem that Shoto is ooc, but i truly think that having a twin would change a lot of stuff in him, and it was proved by the anime and manga that Shoto does show his emotions if there are close people (to him) involved.

Well, I have nothing more to say other than, enjoy...?
