Season Three, Episode XXIII

Unleashed

. . .

Haiyasu Mako

. . .

They'd brought me to camp early, earlier than the rest of Class 1-Z I guess.

I arrived with the other Hero Course students, though I wasn't put through the rigorous training they were. But my medical studies had gotten harder, going beyond the basic medical field. With my Quirk, I could repair injuries at a cellular level, so I had to learn every fine detail about the human body right down to the molecular structure and cellular make up of an average body.

It was boring, tiresome work.

Over the first two days, I was doing my best to avoid the Class 1-A kids. Most of them looked at me and my chair like some kind of sob story. But I didn't want their pity, or apologies. I just wanted to put what happened behind me, and become skilled enough to fix it myself. I know that if I just figure this out, complete my training, I'll be able to walk again. That was my goal, maybe it was a little selfish to pursue my improvement for my own gains but... I'd be able to save more people if I wasn't confined to this damn chair, even moving my wings now was a struggle.

That's why I'd stay in this room, studying late into the night while the others have their fun and games... Their "test of courage" or whatever the Pussy Cats called it.

"EVERYONE!"

My head shot up from the book as Mandalay's telepathy echoed in my mind.

"Two villains attacked us, it's possible there are more coming!"

My heart clenched at the thought, villains? Here?

"Everyone return to camp immediately! We're regrouping, do not engage any enemies."

"Vlad look after the students!" I could hear Aizawa shout, racing down the hall as he left another classroom. "Protect them!" Before my own door was thrown open, "Mako!

I was already looking back at him, reaching over to grab my text book. "I know, I heard." We had to go into crisis mode, every second counted here.

"Join the others in the classroom down the hall," He ordered, "I'll send any injured students to you." Before bolting, rushing off to help protect the students in the forest and regroup.

I rolled out the door, heart racing dangerously fast. I was so scared, but I had to stay focused. Mom and Dad always told me that keeping a steady hand was the most important part of being a doctor, I couldn't panic. If someone was hurt, it would be up to me to save them!

"What about the others?" I could already hear arguing as I slid open the door and rolled in. The red haired boy barking back at the teacher keeping watch her, Vlad King, otherwise known as Mr. Kan. "We can't just sit here while our classmates are in danger!"

"You're all unlicensed," He defended, arms crossed. "Self defense is one thing, but if you go looking for a fight it would be a criminal act."

"B-But-"

I decided to step in, setting down my medical book rather loudly. "You guys can help me set up a medical station," I said quickly, keeping a calm expression as their eyes darted to me. "If students are injured, we need a place to treat them, so lets move some desks out of the way and make some space."

Mr. Kan gave me a nod of approval, "You heard our doctor, get to it!"

Kirishima begrudgingly nodded, getting to work with the others. Creating space for me to work should anyone come in injured. It only took a few moments, as I laid out various medical supplies the camp had on hand like bandages and gauze. My quirk had its limits so keeping all of this on hand would be help treat injuries that weren't life threatening, meaning I could save my stamina for anything serious.

"Everybody stop!" Mr. Kan suddenly shouted, holding up his hands. Motioning for us to be silent, as he moved towards the far wall of the room. The one that faced the forest, my body began to tense up. I could hear it, heavy footsteps, getting closer and closer as a large shadow appeared through the window. "GET BACK!"

An explosion of dust and debris poured through the room as the buildings outer wall was smashed in. Kirishima covered me with his body, while everyone moved back to the wall by the door. I tried to see past him, Vlad King taking a position between us and the gaping hole in our wall. Dust beginning to clear, as a tall broad figure stood in the newly made archway.

"Monoma take everyone to the rooms upstairs!" He ordered, "I've got this one!" Thrusting both arms forward, crimson fluid erupted from his gauntlets. Lashing out and wrapping around the villain before us. "Just try to break free of my blood prison, scumbag!"

"Well, if you insist..." My entire body froze up, as the others were moving towards the door I came to a complete stop. Hearing her voice, one I wasn't sure I'd ever hear again. It was a little deeper now, but the amusement in her tone, the twisted enjoyment, I'd never forget that sound.

"Ryoko..." Was all I could manage, as she shattered the blood around her with what looked like a simple flex of her muscles. Her body, it had changed drastically, I could barely even tell it was her anymore!

She was in her beast form, muscles larger than before as well. Her skin was that cold grey, her hair a wild mane that rolled far down her back. But there were difference that couldn't be explained by her quirk, like the strange red lines tracing down her arms and legs, all meeting at a crystalline orb in the center of her chest. Most concerning however, was the long metal rods extending six inches from the back of her elbows. Something had been done to her, her body had been physically altered into some kind of monster!

"Come on Mako!" Ashido pushed my chair along from behind, "We have to get out of here!"

"Mako?" Her sharp eyes darted to me, giving Vlad King an opening.

"I'm your opponent, Villain!" He roared, charging and throwing a brutal punch. The impact released a shockwave, making her slide back a few feet, the burly mans strength was nothing to scoff at.

She countered without hesitation when he tried to follow up, catching Mr. Kan by the wrist. "I always thought Pro Heroes were supposed to be strong," She sneered, showing her jagged fangs. "But you, you're so WEAK!" Her right fist was slammed into his gut, at the same time her punch landed the metal rod extended from her elbow drove back inside, the noise it released was like a gunshot.

The students fleeing were forced to stop, as the impact with Vlad Kings stomach released another noise that was undoubtedly ribs being shattered. As he doubled over her arm in pain, blood flying from his mouth. We could all only watch in horror, as she grabbed him with two of her arms and lifting Mr. Kan off his feet.

"I've been wanted to do this for a long time!" She laughed in delight, as her other two arms began battering his body. The metal rods firing in and out with every blow, increasing the impact of her punches visibly. "If only you were Mr. Aizawa, I'D REALLY ENJOY THIS!"

"LET HIM GO!" The red head charged, body hardening as he crossed the distance between us and them, while Ryoko beat Vlad King into a bloody mess.

"You want some too?!" She demanded, throwing her foe aside. "You're from Class 1-A right? Lets see how tough you ARE!" Ryoko lunged at him, one fist cocked back, she threw a mighty punch. Kirishima blocked it with both arms, but it still sent him flying, smashing through the far wall and out into the hall. "HAHAHA!" Her booming laughter followed, "So you're the prodigal Hero Course students... How pathetic, this is what I wasn't good enough for!?" She demanded, amusement turning to wrath in an instant.

Ashido was by Kirishima's side, trying to help him up, "Come on, get up we have to run!"

"Gnngh! M-My arms!" He hissed in pain, trembling as he struggled to hold them up. Cracks along both forearms, his hardening shattered with ease by her attack. "W-We can't just... Abandon Vlad..."

I grit my teeth, eyes clenching shut tight for a moment. "You're in no condition to fight!" I barked at him, "So get moving! I'll do what I can for Mr. Kan."

"Uh... Seriously?" Ryoko scoffed, before releasing a booming laugh. "REALLY?! You're gonna try to fight me? You can't even walk!" She mocked me, as I started rolling towards Vlad King. "You couldn't even stand after one of my attacks before, so what are you going to do now?!"

"I am not going to fight you," I answered, even though I was scared I kept a stern face. "I'm a doctor, my job is to save peoples lives..." Vlad King was pretty busted up, broken nose, maybe a busted jaw, he definitely had a concussion, maybe even skull fractures considering how hard she beat him. If I could just get close- "Gah!" I yelped, as Ryoko kicked over my chair from the side. I hit the ground hard, wincing in pain.

"You tell them to run away, and you think I'm just going to let you heal him?" She scoffed, standing over me. What did she want? Why wasn't she just killing me, or anyone else huh? No, this was about stroking her ego, the one damaged by Sen at the festival. "Well, what do you have to say to that? Weakling?"

My long blonde hair had fallen over my face, which helped maintain a calm expression even as my eyes began to water a little. The fear was asserting itself, and the feeling of how helpless I was compared to someone with this kind of power. "I... I am the son, of one of Japan's most respected doctors, a man that saves lives without any quirk at all... And a mother, that's taught thousands how to provide desperately needed medical assistance around the world." I dragged myself forward with my arms, I even tried to move my wings but they could only twitch and quiver. "It isn't official, because I haven't finished my schooling... But I swore an oath, that I'd use my power to heal anyone in need, even if it means putting my own life in danger."

My outstretched arm finally reached Vlad King, I gripped his arm and dragged myself closer. "Is that right?" She snorted, glaring down at me from behind. "And what happens, if I just beat him into the ground again? You're really just prolonging his suffering..."

I grit my teeth, reaching out with one hand over Vlad King's face. I needed to focus, I couldn't doubt myself now. "You came here to kill us right? So either do it, or shut your mouth and let me work." Before my hand started to glow, and I began the healing process. The moment it made contact I could start to asses the damage and focus on what to heal first.

But my resilience only angered her, "Hmph, how about instead I beat and drag every single one of those students cowering around the corner back in here and you can watch me break them all first? That sounds fun right!?"

"W-Wait," I looked back at her, as she started walking towards the others. Why were they still here!? They should be running!? "Ryoko! Don't!"

In the blink of an eye, three familiar figures appeared before me. I barely had time to even register who it was, before that crimson aura exploded around one of them. Power I'd never felt, only heard of, the same power that she'd released only once before.

"RYOKO!" Sen roared, blasted towards her at incredible speed.

The beast turned on her, eyes widening. "Where the hell did you-" Before Sen slammed her with a full powered aura punch. The blast sent her crashing through the wall, smashing right out into the grass at the forests edge.

"S-Sen... Adachi..." My pokerface crumbling, as tears of joy welled up and began to spill over. "H-How did you even..."

Suru collapsed to her knees beside me, "All... Me... Baby... WOOO!" Before falling flat on her face, "Oh god... I-I think I'm gonna barf..."

"Be careful!" I warned, wiping my eyes as I tried to focus on healing Vlad King. "Ryoko's power, its on a whole other level than she was at the festival!"

"Well so are we," Sen nodded, aura still raging around her. "You ready?"

My eyes darted to Adachi, he was already starting to grow in size. Taking no chances and going straight to his largest form. "Everyone stay back, look after the wounded." He commanded, voice carrying a grim tone but also seething with anger.

Ashido looked back to him, as she helped move Kirishima from the hall. "What are you going to do?" She had the same reservations as I did, having seen first hand how strong Ryoko was.

But the massive lizardman remained resolute, "I'm going to take responsibility for my mistakes..."
