Barry and Midoriya raced through the forest, leaping over stones and roots on their way to the site of the test of courage. The duo could hear the fight still going on as fists clashed and metal gnashed.

"We're almost there!" said Barry.

"Do you think they'll be ok?" asked Midoriya.

"Only one way to find out!" said Barry.

Bursting into the clearing, Barry and Midoriya came just in time to witness Tiger wrangle Weather Wizard in his arms.

"Hijo de la chingada!" Shouted Weather Wizard as Tiger wrapped his arms around the villain's body, restraining him.

"Your friend is down for the count!" said Tiger, "You foul villains never stood a chance!"

On the other side of the clearing, Mandalay leaped back, dodging a slice from the lizard villains sword.

"You damn sham!" said the villain, "BE A GOOD GIRL AND GET PURGED."

Barry didn't even have to look at his friend to know what they would do next. They leaped out of the woods together, Midoriya taking the lead. As the villain raised his swords to strike at Mandalay, Midoriya blazed by feet first, shattering the swords as he leaped overhead to the shock of both Mandalay and the villain.

"WHAT?!" shouted the villain.

"Mandalay!" shouted Midoriya, "Kota's safe!"

Barry blazed by Mandalay at top speed, fist at the ready, "And so is Wally!"

The villain turned around just in time to get clocked in the jaw by Barry, losing consciousness instantaneously as he hit the ground.

"Holy-" yelped Mandalay, "You kids came in fast."

"We did!" said Barry, "But Aizawa wants you to tell everyone something using your telepathy."

"What is it?!" asked Mandalay.

Midoriya jumped forward, "He wants everyone in class A and B to know that it's ok to fight back!"

"Are you sure?" asked Mandalay, "This could mean bad things for him if the situation turns sourer!"

"In addition," said Barry, "They have a kill or capture list and Bakugo's at the top!"

Mandalay shuddered at the news, "I'll tell everyone right away!"

Barry took a deep breath, walking over to Midoriya, "What now?"

"What now is you DIE Flash!" Shouted Weather Wizard.

"Be silent villain!" shouted Tiger, tightening his grip on Weather Wizard.

"No," said Barry, "Let him speak."

Weather Wizard struggled in Tiger's arms and Barry walked up to him.

"Heh, want a one on one fight Flash?" asked Weather Wizard.

"No, I came to say I'm sorry." said Barry.

Weather Wizards initial expression of anger softened, being replaced by confusion.

"What?" said Weather Wizard.

"I didn't realize Golden Glider had died." said Barry, "If I could have done anything to differently, anything to make sure nobody got hurt, I would have."

Weather Wizard didn't respond, a sad look on his face.

"I don't want anyone else getting hurt." said Barry, "Please, tell me where the rest of the Rogues are. This doesn't have to end badly for anyone."

Weather Wizard sighed, shaking his head, "You know, we never really found out what happened to Scudder."

It was Barry's turn to be confused, "What?"

"Mirror Master, he was another one of us." said Weather Wizard, "After he got sucked into the mirror, we didn't know what to think."

Weather Wizard tensed his hands, "It took me a while, but I finally came to terms with the fact that just like Glider, he was dead."

The clearing began to feel more intense, the air gaining an almost static quality, "And just like with Glider, It's ALL YOUR FAULT!"

*BOOM*

Weather Wizard roared as a bolt of lightning struck Tiger, causing an explosion that blows everyone back.

"ARGH!" screamed Tiger, letting go of Weather Wizard as he's shocked. His pliabody quirk keeps the lightning from killing him, he still sustains extremely damaging burns.

"Tiger!" shouted Mandalay, rushing to drag Tiger away from the villain.

"You know what pisses me off the most?!" shouted Weather Wizard, who began to float into the air, "That you actually thought you could trick me into thinking that you cared."

"I do care!" shouted Barry, "But right now, you're trying to hurt my friends. I can't let that happen!"

"There it is!" shouted Weather Wizard, "I knew you weren't genuine!"

Barry tightened his fists while Midoriya jumped in next to him, "I beat Captain Cold, I can beat you too."

While the statement was meant to deter Weather Wizard, it had the opposite effect.

"Of course you would say that, gloat about your victory." said Weather Wizard, "And considering that lodge isn't going up in smoke right now, I have to assume Rory and Jesse failed too. That leaves just me and the newbies."

Midoriya stepped forward, "We won't let you hurt anyone else!"

"Oh don't worry." said Weather Wizard, "I won't just hurt anyone else."

Weather Wizard took a deep breath as he raises his arms to the sky. The wind in the valley began to pick up, quickly becoming strong enough to stagger Barry and Midoriya.

Weather Wizard closed his fists as branches and rocks began to get picked up by the wind, "I'm going to hurt everyone."


"Hey everyone!" said Mina, "Sensei's back!"

Aizawa burst into the lodge clearing, carrying Kota and being followed closely by Wally.

"How are the villains?" asked Aizawa.

Jay smiled, pointing to Heatwave and Trickster, who were tied up together back to back, "Their snug as a bug in a rug!"

"I'm not a child Garrick," said Aiwawa, "I don't need the rhymes."

"Sorry," said Jay, rubbing the back of his head, "I thought it might defuse the situation a little."

"Hey guys?" said Kirishima, "Do you feel that?"

"Feel what?" asked Mineta, "All I feel is what's in my pants."

Mina shot a glare at Mineta before the wind began to pick up sticks on the ground, "I feel it too."

"The wind is picking up!" said Iida, "Everybody! Be on the lookout for flying debris. Even a small rock can injure you."

"Uh," said Kaminari, staring out into the valley, "I think we've got a lot more to worry about."

The students followed his gaze, their eyes landing on the cause of the wind.

"Good lord!" said Jay, "It's a-"


"TORNADO!" shouted Midoriya, who wrapped his legs around a tree stump as to not get carried away. Barry was in a similar situation, gripping the same trunk with all his might. Midoriya winced, his arms still busted from his fight with Muscular.

"Where are Tiger and Mandalay?!" asked Midoriya.

"I think they got out!" said Barry, "I last saw them running towards the lodge."

Midoriya nodded, "Barry, was he ever this powerful?!"

"No, his wand was never this potent!" said Barry, "His powers feel so much more unrestrained."

"If he keeps this up, he could rip apart the valley!" shouted Midoriya, "We can't let him move away from the clearing."

Barry thought for a moment, "I think I have an idea."

"What is it?" asked Midoriya.

"If I can run in a circular manner opposite to the tornado, I could create a counter vortex to cancel out his tornado." said Barry, "Stay here, let me handle this."

"Barry wait!" shouted Midoriya, but it was too late.

Barry let go of the tree, breaking into a run so that he wouldn't get picked up by the tornado. He began to run around the tornado, trying to create his own vortex. As he picked up speed, the tornado began to slow down.

It's working! Just a few more-

*BOOM!*

A lightning bolt struck Barry in the back, breaking his run entirely. He fell, tumbling onto his back as the tornado began to pick up speed again.

NO! Damnit I was so close!

"HAHAHA!" shouted Weather Wizard, "Trying to cancel out my Tornado with your own? Good luck!"

Barry gritted his teeth, getting on his hands and feet again.

Don't let him stop you. You can do this!

He began his sprint again, picking up speed and wind again. It was only a few seconds before the next *BOOM*.

"AGH!" screamed Barry, tumbling once again.

"HA!" shouted Weather Wizard, "Definition of Insanity Flash. Definition of Insanity."

Barry wiped the dirt out of his eyes, getting on his hands and feet once more.

Try Try Try Again.

Midoriya could only watch helplessly as Barry failed to generate enough speed over and over again. Watching him fail repeatedly both impressed Midoriya and made him feel awful for not helping.

I have to do something! But how do I tip the scales in a fight like this? I'd be crushed immediately.

Looking up into the tornado, Midoriya's eyes widened as he spotted Weather Wizard in the storm.

There he is! If I could get a hit on him, he would be too distracted to prevent Barry from canceling the tornado.

Midoriya took a look at his own arms.

But I already used up my arms fighting that villain. I don't know if I can reach the ground safely if I do this.

Midoriya took a look at Barry, who tumbled once more after being struck by lightning. He watched as the beaten and bloodied Barry refused to bend, getting up to try again.

No, I have to risk it. For everyone!

Midoriya took a deep breath.

Here goes nothing!

Midoriya released his grip on the tree with his legs, letting the wind carry him up into the air. He began to spin around Weather Wizard in the storm, the violent wind threatening to tear him apart.

URK! Hurts a lot, but I can't think about that.

Midoriya spotted an uprooted tree flying around the tornado, coming right at him.

Here's my chance!

Midoriya angled himself feet first towards the tree as it flew towards him. As the two collided and Midoriya landed on the tree, he bent his knees, waiting until he was pointed towards Weather Wizard.

NOW!

Midoriya leaped towards Weather Wizard with enough force to shatter the tree underneath his feet. As he flew towards Weather Wizard, he angled his foot towards the villain.

TAKE THIS!

*POW!*

Midoriya kicked the villain in the side of the head just as he's about to strike Barry again, effectively knocking him out of the air.

"AGH!" shouted Weather Wizard, dazed.

Barry surged forward, running as fast as he could.

"RAAAAAH!" shouted Barry as he finally created enough of a draft to make his own counter-vortex. The two tornados clashed, imploding on each other with massive *THOOM*.

Dust blows away from the clearing as Barry looked up, creating a night sky only filled with falling trees, rocks, branches, and-

"MIDORIYA!" shouted Barry.

Midoriya's eyes widened as he realized that without the updraft of the tornado, he had begun to plummet to his death.

"HAHAHAHA!"

Midoriya spotted Weather Wizard beneath him, laughing it up.

"See that kid? You stood against me!" said Weather Wizard, "Now you're gonna die!"

While the mocking comments were meant to put more fear in Midoriya's heart, they did nothing but light a fire in him. Angling himself towards Weather Wizard, Midoriya aimed both his feet at the villain.

"What the?" said Weather Wizard.

"Hey Weather boy!"

Weather Wizard looked down, his eyes widening when he saw Barry flying upward using a mini vortex made from his own hands.

"This is what happens when you try to hurt my friends!" shouted Barry, who stopped rotating one of his fists in order to prepare a vibrated punch.

"Uh oh." said Weather Wizard, who raised his arms in desperation in an attempt to defend himself. Unfortunately for him, it was too late.

"FLORIDA-" shouted Midoriya.

"SMASH!" shouted Barry.

The two hit Weather Wizard from both sides at the same time with a bone-crunching *CRACK*, with Midoriya delivering a supercharged double foot kick to his back while Barry hit him with a savage uppercut using an infinite mass punch. Weather Wizard spewed blood from his mouth instantly as he lost consciousness, the last thing he saw being Barry's fist and Midoriya's foot.

While the villain was defeated, Barry still had to contend with the fact that all three of them were still falling through the air. Grabbing Midoriya and Weather Wizard under his arms, Barry rotated his fists, breaking their fall with a double vortex.


"The wind," said Mina, "It's slowing down!"

"It appears that the crisis has been averted!" said Iida.

"Ha!" said Mineta, "In your face no-name villain!"

The class begins to celebrate as the teachers meet.

Aizawa scratched his scruff, "I don't like it. We should stay on guard."

"It's clear that a villain just got taken down." said Vlad, "That's still a win for us."

"Maybe," said Aizawa, "But there are still villains out there, I'm sure of it."

Jay nodded, "We should still be on the lookout."

"Agreed." said Vlad, "Security should still be tight."

"We should also tell the kids to stop cheering," said Aizawa, "It's going to attract more attention."

"Patrols are one thing but letting them celebrate is another." said Jay, "Let them have hope."

"I concur," said a new terrifying voice, "Especially since it'll be so much fun tearing that hope away!"

The entire class jumped at the voice, watching as the teachers formed a barrier between them the students and the voice immediately.

"Another damn villain?" said Vlad, "Show yourself!"

But Jay recognized that voice, the voice of someone so dangerous they almost wrecked time. A name Jay knew well.

"No," trembled Jay, "It can't be you."

"Garrick?" said Aizawa, "You know this guy?"

"Uh uh uh!" said the voice, "No spoilers!"

*KRAK!*

Moving so fast the human eye couldn't track him, the villain swooped by the teachers, striking Jay across the head with a rock. Jay dropped to the ground, unconscious immediately.

"WAH!" screamed Mineta, "A teacher's down already!"

"Shut up Mineta!" shouted Kaminari, "It was a surprise attack, the other two can handle him!"

"Shame," said the villain, "If it weren't for the helmet I would have spilled his brains all over the grass!"

"WALLY, KOTA!" shouted Aizawa, "EVERYONE, GET INSIDE!"

"I'll take him!" shouted Vlad, charging towards the forest as the students began to herd Kota and Wally deeper into the lodge.

"Hey wait!" said Wally, "We can't just leave them out there!"

"Just keep Kota safe!" said Kirishima, "We'll stay to help, even though he doesn't want us too!"

Wally nodded, leading Kota deeper into the lodge as the rest of the students turned back towards the fight.

*KRAK!* *POW!* *SNAP!*

No sooner did the class turn around only to find Vlad King's body fly through the air, landing in a pile of broken desks. He was covered in his own blood, his eyes swollen shut and a broken rib protruding from his chest.

"SENSEI!" shouted Monoma, rushing to his teacher's broken body to check his pulse, "He's still alive! I'll make that villain pay."

"Heh, Unlikely." said the villain.

The class turned towards the villain, only to gaze in horror at the sight they were met with.

The villain was dressed in a yellow costume covering most of his body, with openings for his mouth and eyes. He had metal lightning bolts over his ears and red boots, as well as a black circle with a red lightning bolt, emblazoned over his chest. But what disturbed the students the most was what he was doing with Aizawa.

Having grabbed Aizawa's scarf, the villain had wrapped it around Aizawa's neck like a noose. The other end was tightly tied to a tree branch, suspending Aizawa above the ground and hanging him. He kicked in desperation as the noose strangled the life out of him.

"You kids ready for the worst night of your lives?!" shouted the villain.

"GET HIM!" shouted Sero.

The students all screamed a war cry as they charged the villain.

"HAH!" shouted Thawne, "I love your spirit!"

Rushing forward, Thawne started by grabbing Sero as he attempted to eject his tape towards the villain. Using the tape, Thawne wrapped one end of the tape around Monoma's neck and another around Koda's neck. Dragging the three along at super speed, Thawne wrapped all three around the tree trunk at a level where they couldn't stand up. He stepped back in satisfaction as all three of them began to choke.

"Heh, and they say adults aren't creative." said Thawne.

"LEAVE THEM ALONE!" shouted Ojiro, swinging at Thawne with his tail. Thawne smirked, easily dodging the attack.

"A tail?" said Thawne, "Let's give it a makeover!"

*KRAK* *KRAK* *KRAK* *KRAK* *KRAK*

Thawne rapidly punched the tail, listening in satisfaction as he broke every bone in the appendage.

"AAAAAAAGH!" screamed Ojiro, crumpling into a ball on the ground as he clutched his tail.

"Six left!" Thawne said Giddily, rushing towards the rest of the students who were now attempting to back away. His first target was Mineta, trying to run with his stubby little legs.

"Not even worth my time pipsqueak!" shouted Thawne, raising his foot and punting Mineta into the air. Mineta screamed like a baby as he crashed through a window.

Thawne saw Iida making a stand out of the corner of his eye, "You're the fastest one here right?" said Thawne, racing behind Iida, "Not anymore!"

"YEEEEAAARRRGHH!" screamed Iida as Thawne grabbed and tore the engines from his calves. He fell to the ground, clutching his legs.

As the four remaining students retreated, Sato stopped, ready to try and get ahold of Thawne.

"Run!" shouted Sato, "I'll hold him off!"

Sato grabbed a sugar packet from his pocket and tore it open, only for Thawne to slap it out of his hand.

"Sugar is bad for you big guy!" said Thawne, "Nature always provides the best!"

Thawne then shoves a branch down Sato's throat, followed by a strike to adam's apple. Sato fell to his knees, coughing up wood and blood. Thawne rushed onward as Kaminari began to charge up.

"I heard electricity fries your brain!" said Thawne, "How about I just skip the middle man!"

Thawne grabs Kaminari by the temple with both hands, vibrating them at super speed. Kaminari can't even scream before his eyes roll into the back of his head as he falls to the ground, twitching.

"Two left," said Thawne, "and not just any two, THE Two."

Backed up against the wall, Kirishima hardens his body, "Do your worst you bastard!"

"Ok." said Thawne before grabbing Kirishima's forearms and twisting them until they faced the wrong direction.

"RARRGH!" shouted Kirishima, he fell to his knees, helpless as Thawne delivered a vibrated kick that sends him into the wall behind him, leaving a crack as he fell to the ground in pain. Thawne raced up to Mina, grabbing her by the throat and pinning her against the wall.

"W-Who are you?!" managed Mina through Thawne's iron grip.

Thawne drew a devilish grin as he leaned in close, placing his lips right next to Mina's ear. "I am the Reverse-Flash," he whispered, "and if you want to know who is truly responsible for all this pain, all this suffering, I'll let you know right now that it is all Barry Allen's fault."

Mina's eyes widened as he slammed her head into the wall, breaking her horns off her head and knocking her out. Thawne turned around, looking over all the brutality and suffering he had just caused in satisfaction.

"Heh, I used to love stopping people like me." said Thawne before he entered the classroom, carrying the unconscious Heatwave and Trickster out of the lodge at super speed.


Considering how brutal that just was, I almost added a warning at the beginning of the chapter, but chose not too in order to shock the readers! I hope I wasn't too hard on our heroes (I felt genuinely uncomfortable writing Sato's scene.)! Don't worry, there's so much more coming and the Camp Arc is far from over. I'll see you guys next time!

Seriously, this felt like writing Torture porn but it's for a purpose, to make Thawne a force to be reckoned with.

On a more positive note, this chapter marks 150,000 words! YAY!
