Dabi
After the attack I was distracted, but I couldn't let that get in the way.
Following the orders of the unstable Shigaraki, we took the noisy boy to the hideout, where his speech to convince him would make me defect even to me, who was already included.
– I am really grateful for all the publicity we've been receiving. Don't you agree, Bakugou Katsuki? – The referrer had an offensive look on all of us. – It's unfortunate, why are heroes being so cruelly criticized? Are they not acting as expected of them? Your mission isn't to protect? – He got closer to the boy. – We all make mistakes; do they have to be perfect? I want to offer you the opportunity to get rid of that, Bakugou. – He was partly right. The moment heroes have to receive compensation, they cease to be heroes.
– This system does nothing more than transform feats into fame and money – he continued – We only want to question: what are heroes? What is justice? We want to win and you like to win, right? – The parched man now turned to me – Dabi, untie him
– You know he's going to defend himself, right?
– Okay, we need to consider him as an equal. Also, – turning to gagged – I think you know what situation you're in, UA student. – Considering the power of this brat, I wasn't willing to risk it.
– Twice, you do it – he protested, but then agreed. And as expected, the scandalous boy did nothing but explode once he was released, detaching the hand that covered the face of the leader of the organization. I wonder how good an idea it will be to follow this guy to achieve the ideals that brought me here in the first place?
– It's true, I want to win, but as All Might! – keeping his offensive stance – I don't care what people say, that will never change! – And, against all odds, the impulsive Shigaraki kept his composure.
– You are perfect for us. Kurogiri, Compress, put him to sleep again – he concluded placing his hand on his face again. Maybe it's not as unstable as I thought.
But little or nothing could be done, as we had been ambushed. When some branches enveloped me, I thought of burning them, but immediately afterwards, I was already unconscious.
Kirishima
After learning that both Midoriya, Shoji and Todoroki were involved in the rescue of Bakugou and Tokoyami, and despite the fact that they could only rescue the latter, the environment was dire. As Midoriya was unconscious, I could only meet with Shoji and Tokoyami, since the double quirk was separated from the rest, staring blankly, dejected. Shortly before Prof. Aizawa dragged us into the supplementary classes, it turned out that both he and Bakugou had stayed on the same team, as if they didn't spend enough time together already to also face the test of courage as allies. If only my performance on the exam had been better, maybe I would have ended up paired with him, or at least somehow prevented him from being captured by the villains. I felt helpless and frustrated.
– What happened? – sounding more hostile than I expected
– I think you already know that information – he coldly replied
– Is that the attitude you take to the kidnapping of our friend?! – taking him by the neck
– What are you going to know, you weren't even there?! – while on his left side a small flame was lit
– It's not time for you to fight amongst yourselves! – Iida intervened, separating us
– We are all upset by Bakugou's kidnapping but fighting among us will not solve anything – saying this, Todoroki walked away from us on the way to the camp.
That night, thinking about what happened, he could only conclude that, among those most affected by what had happened, he was one of them. The next morning, I met him at the hospital, calmer now.
– Todoroki, can we talk? – The boy now carried a more serene attitude – Last night he was too upset and worried. Midoriya is unconscious, Hagakure, Yaoyorozu and Jiro are injured, added to the kidnapping of Bakugou ... Sorry – sitting next to him. – But I couldn't stay without doing anything...
– I understand you – with his usual calm
– That's why we must save him – his expression turned into one of astonishment
– What do you have in mind? – I knew he would be on my side.
– Something will occur to us. – We were going to see Midoriya, but on the way to his room, we saw Yaoyorozu talking to a policeman and All Might. She told them that she had created a tracker that was embedded in the Nomu and that she knew of the location of the villains.
The next day we went to the hospital in the company of the others to visit Midoriya again. He was already conscious. Remembering what had happened to his friend, broke down and I felt just like him. That is why I was not afraid to say what we had in mind
– Let's save him this time – his eyes widened – Todoroki and I were here yesterday and we have a plan. We tell you the conversation we hear
– Are you planning to ask Yaoyorozu to make another transmitter? – asked Iida
– So, what if we do? – Todoroki snapped, getting defensive
– Did you forget what happened in Hosu with Stain? This is a job for professionals!
– While we're here, they could be torturing Bakugou! – even more upset, but his face was grim
– You think we don't know? – Intervening between them – I couldn't do anything while I listened to the others do everything, they could to avoid their kidnapping. After hearing that his target was my friend, I couldn't do anything! – I held the collar of my shirt – If I don't do something now, I can't be called a hero!
– Kirishima, we are in a hospital, calm down – Kaminari asked me in a whisper
– Iida, he's right – Tsuyu commented
– Iida, you are all right but – turning to Midoriya, – I know we can still rescue him, and I know you think the same, Midoriya – The boy looked at me overwhelmed, but his eyes gave off tenacity.
As expected, the others did not fully agree with our plan, despite the fact that in Todoroki's words, they were targets to be assassinated, however, they only kidnapped Bakugou, which was no guarantee that they would not harm him eventually.
– I understand how frustrated you are, I was there when Bakugou was kidnapped – Shoji said – but this isn't the time to get carried away by our emotions.
– But – I protested
– Let's think about things calmly – Tsuyu intervened – We are all shocked by Bakugou's kidnapping, but if they act against the law, wouldn't that make them equal to the villains? – the atmosphere became dense. It was the visit of one of the doctors that dissolved the tensions a bit.
– Let's go see Yaoyorozu – Sero exhorted while the others accompanied him
– Get well soon, Deku – Uraraka said as he left
– We agreed that if we rescued Bakugou, it would be tonight. – Getting a little closer to Midoriya – I know that because of your injuries you probably can't do much, but we wanted to invite you.
– We wait for you in front of the hospital, tonight – Todoroki concluded.
...
As we agreed that night, after asking Yaoyorozu for the transmitter, we both waited for him in front of the hospital. Although he did not agree, we were not going to give up. To our surprise, she was the first to leave with Midoriya. And before we could speak, we were interrupted.
– Wait! – the voice of our delegate alerted us. – Why do you want to make the same mistake as me?! – I was overwhelmed – U.A. you are already in a delicate enough situation to make it worse. Who will take responsibility for their actions?!
– It's not how you think, Iida. We don't want to break the...
– I'm worried too! – He interrupted me – I'm not only worried about Bakugou, but also about you! Don't you care about my worries?!
– Iida, we don't plan to face them head–on and win – Todoroki explained
– It's a covered operation. We just want to rescue him.
– I trust the words of Kirishima and Todoroki for that reason, if something happens, I want to accompany them – Yaoyorozu said
– After I could only see how they separated him from us, I have not stopped thinking about rescuing him – we heard Midoriya speak with the thickest voice that we had ever heard him. Being his childhood friend who was talked about, his state of mind was understandable.
– As we cannot reach an agreement, you will take me with you. – After the shock of his decision, we got ready to go to where the tracker was.
Like any operation on deck, we had to disguise ourselves so as not to be recognized. It was walking through the streets that we saw the press conference with Prof. Aizawa, Vlad King and Director Nezu. After each question, around us the voices of those who discredited U.A. They were only increasing, but one of our teacher's responses dispelled the murmurs: – He works harder than anyone to become hero number one. If the villains haven't been able to see that, they have little vision of the future – Those words gave me back the air that I did not know I was missing. Motivated by the teacher's words, we continued on our way.
After the terrifying discovery we had made in a winery where there were containers with Nomus, we knew we were close, so we decided to move on. But our steps were stopped by an evil aura that took our breath away. Soon after, a pitched fight developed where several professional heroes were, including All Might. It was then, when in a gap we could see Bakugou surrounded by villains. My heart didn't fit in my chest; he was apparently not injured, but despite his defiance, he knew he was in a high–risk situation. We had to act quickly.
And again, the appearance of All Might changed the chips of the game, but it was just this that created a gap to rescue Bakugou, who defended himself against them before any approach.
– I have an idea! – Midoriya pronounced, breaking with the silence that had become eternal – But we need Bakugou's collaboration, and you are the key to the success of this operation Kirishima – I was shocked, how was that possible?
– Give us more details, Midoriya, – Todoroki asked, and then he proceeded to tell us his plan.
– It is practically a gamble, and the risk is very high... But we have no choice, let's do it! – Iida said giving us his approval, we proceeded with the plan.
Driven by the quirks of Midoriya and Iida, we broke through the wall behind us to propel ourselves forward, and then Todoroki would create an ice path as high as possible to hide us from the villains. Once on it, it would help us to take an even greater momentum that would allow us to get as far away as possible. This would work as long as All Might contained the chief villain, and that's when I would have to step in.
Thinking of Midoriya's words, I bet on them: "From the beginning you formed an equal relationship with Kacchan, if you, his friend calls him" – Come! – "I'm sure he'll come." And just as he predicted, Bakugou pushed himself with his quirk to take my hand, which had never had a firmer grip.
– You're an Idiot! – I was immensely happy to hear him say that.
– At my signal, create an explosion!
– YOU WAIT FOR MY SIGNAL! – I couldn't contain the excitement of hearing him scream. We landed on a deserted ground, and the first thing I did was rush towards him who tried to push me away, but then gave up.
– You're finally safe!
– Sure, you do, idiot – His gaze was more relaxed, although he returned to his usual frown once he saw Midoriya.
Shortly after we met with Todoroki and Yaoyorozu, and it was when the eyes of the two boys crossed that a hole in my stomach was created, despite being for a brief moment, I could see how my friend's eyes glowed with an intense crimson, and that only explained that she was happy to see him.
Putting my feelings aside, we headed to the central plaza where on one of the giant screens, we watched the last All Might match. Our voices joined in unison in support, waiting to be reached, and as a shout of victory, it was replaced by shouts of celebration.
After that incredible fight, we decided that we should go. It was then, when we heard All Might's voice tell us "Now it's your turn."
As a professional hero it is understandable that he motivates the new generations, but why was Midoriya crying? Is it because his idol will now have to retire? Bakugou's gaze towards him was also grim. The motivation of both to become a hero, he would no longer fight, and it only rested on us to make sure his sacrifice was not in vain.
Hi. I hope you're doing fine : D
Fact # 12
This chapter it's a little bit slow down but I like the fact that Kirishima starts to deal with his feelings.
