Amaya grit her teeth once her ears picked up on Aizawa's realization that these were the people that broke into U.A..

Heart pounding, Amaya clenched her hands into fists watching as Aizawa's scarf came to life.

"What? Villains? No way… There's no way they could get into a hero school!" Kirishima exclaimed in panic. Amaya quickly flickered her gaze to him, before sensing that familiar feeling of eyes staring daggers from behind her.

Yaoyorozu glared at her for a split-second before turning to Thirteen.

"Sensei, what about the trespasser sensors?" Yaoyorozu asked, stepping next to Midoriya.

"We have them, of course, but…" Thirteen trailed off, only furthering the classes' panic.

Todoroki's smooth voice cut through the class as he explained his thoughts on what was currently happening. "Did they only appear here, or around the whole school? Either way, if the sensors are not responding, that means they have someone with a quirk that can do that…"

"An isolated area separated from the main campus during a time when a class is supposed to be here. They might be fools but they're not dumb. This surprise attack was carefully planned with some sort of goal in mind," Amaya finished, her dull voice resonating throughout the class.

The class stilled at the explanation, some giving Amaya suspicious looks. Todoroki simply fixed his apathetic heterochromia eyes on her golden slits, nodding in agreement.

If it weren't for the situation Amaya would've been slightly impressed and sorta pissed that he really was as smart as he was powerful. That wasn't important right now, so she focused instead and broke the gaze with him at Aizawa's command for Thirteen to evacuate everyone.

"Kaminari. You try contacting the school with your quirk," Aizawa demanded as he turned his body back towards the group of villains.

Amaya's tail was practically numbing her arm as she stared at her caretaker. It seemed like she wasn't the only worried soul as Midoriya's voice cried out, "What about you sir? Will you fight by yourself?" Amaya couldn't help but look at Midoriya, glad that someone was also worried about Aizawa's safety.

Aizawa didn't let his cool waver. His voice evened as he explained that he'd be fine.

"Aizawa wait!" Amaya desperately whispered, fingers stretching towards where he jumped. It's not that she didn't have faith in him, she truly believed that he could protect the class. However, she also knew that in doing so he would definitely get hurt and that's what she wanted to avoid.

She didn't even think as she propelled herself forward, her body moved before she could even think.

"Amaya-san! Come back!" She heard Iida shout at her, more of her classmates screaming her name as she ran. Before she could descend the stairs, she felt strong arms wrap around her middle. Acting on instinct she hissed and moved to claw at the person's face, but they expected that and pinned her arm to her back.

"Let me go! He needs help!" She growled; her voice filled with a raw panic that her classmates had never heard from her before.

"Amaya-chan I understand that you want to help Aizawa-sensei, but we'll only hinder him. Please I want to help him too, but we have to go," Midoriya's slightly shaky voice tried to soothe her. That petite girl continued to struggle against him, feeling her throat closing up and a painful weight settling in her stomach at the thought of leaving Aizawa.

Midoriya didn't want to but he tightened his arms against her, easily moving her light body with him. He was so glad he stayed behind the group to watch a bit of the battle because otherwise no one would've caught her when she ran off. As he carried the small cat-girl with him he couldn't stop himself from gazing at her in amazement. Hitachi or not she moved to help without a second thought.

Amaya knew struggling was pointless with Midoriya's firm grip on her, but if she didn't move, she felt as if she'd spiral into a panic attack. They didn't understand the real relationship between her and Aizawa, they didn't understand why she was so worried for him.

"Maybe it's finally time to let me out? You know I'm stronger."

"No. Not as long as I can help it. I don't need for everyone to see me as the monster they think I am."

"You mean the monster that you are."

The voice snarkily responded, Amaya grit her teeth in annoyance for even having this mental conversation.

Suddenly the whole class stopped as the same dark vortex from the fountain appeared in front of them. That dark vortex turned out to be a warp-like person, emitting an ominous aura everywhere.

"Nice to meet you all, we are the League of Villains. It may be presumptuous of us, but we have invited ourselves into the home of the heroes, U.A. High School in order to have All Might, the Symbol of Peace, take his last breath." The figure politely introduced and explained his groups' actions.

"The hell kind of villain is this dude? Way to monologue like an idiot."

"Would you shut up! They're here to kill All Might! Use those annoying instincts of yours to figure out a way on how to get out of here!"

As the villain continued to speak, Midoriya's arms loosened around Amaya as let her go, probably trusting her not to run away again. In any other moment Amaya would be touched by that fact because being held firmly like that brought up bad memories, but currently she was more focused on the villain in front of her. She couldn't help but notice the twitching Kirishima and Bakugo near the front.

"No… they're surely not that impulsive. His quirk seems to involve warps or portals so that means that running and attacking him wouldn't-"

"SHIT THEY'RE ATTACKING!"

"NO! STOP!" Amaya shouted, rushing forward and reaching out for Bakugo's elbow. She was too slow. Bakugo had already unleashed an explosion, causing ash and dust to cover everything in her line of sight.

"Imbeciles. Absolute imbeciles."

Amaya quickly waved the smoke cloud away and realized along with dumb and dumber that Bakugo's explosion didn't affect warp guy in the slightest. Instead warpy stood straight and began speaking again.

Amaya tried to grab the boys' arms during this when a strong wind pushed them back and everything around her turned dark purple. Without thinking she reached her arm out and managed to grab a hold of something, more like someone. Not dwelling on it she pulled that person into her small body hoping to protect them from whatever was happening.

The darkness swallowed them whole.

She couldn't see anything, and the person was struggling hard against her. Their large body felt sharp and weighed heavily, causing her a bit of pain. Without warning they both fell hard straight into the floor. Groaning from the weight on her, Amaya let go of who she realized was Kirishima and stood up.

She didn't have the chance to even say anything because immediately her ears twitched, and she felt an attack near her head. Instinctively she caught her attacker's fist and threw him over her shoulder. The sounds of explosions and grunts appeared near her and as she finally took in her surroundings, she saw that she as well as Bakugo and Kirishima were surrounded by a group of attackers.

"DIEEEE!" Bakugo cried out and Amaya heard more explosions popping off.

Trying not to lose focus she looked at the men in front of her, preparing to fight.

"Hah. This is going to be fun. You don't even need me for these losers."

It turned out that Amaya could handle herself, and so could the boys near her. They were actually knocking out the last few thugs. They all stood close, panting slightly, because while the fight wasn't hard, there were a lot of them. She didn't even have to worry about her limited strength because these attackers had poor fighting technique and she was able to use a lot of their own momentum to overpower them.

"These guys were too easy to defeat. They're not villains, nothing more than mere thugs. Why is that?"

"Is this all of them? They're so weak," Bakugo insulted, saying exactly what Amaya had been thinking.

"Let's just hurry up and go save the others! If we're here, then everyone else should be inside the USJ too. I'm worried about the guys with less offensive ability. Besides, because we ran off ahead, we slowed Thirteen down. If Thirteen had been able to suck up that fog—"

"We wouldn't be in this mess," Amaya finished Kirishima's statement, glaring at both boys.

"HA! The hell you talking about mangy cat. At least I reacted, unlike your scared ass," Bakugo shouted, glaring right back at Amaya.

She felt her face pinch into a scowl. She knew Bakugo had a bad temper but right now his stupid actions and words were frustrating her, especially since she was farther away from Aizawa. She might've been ignoring the man, but she was seriously worried about him. And now she was stuck here because these two morons just had to act all mighty.

"Well you did reach out for them... "

"Shut up."

"Reacted? No what you both did was impulsive and idiotic. But right now, I don't have time for this," Amaya snarled, hackles rising as she stared right into Bakugo's maroon eyes, jabbing hard into his chest before turning away.

She didn't bother listening to his response, just hearing the crude language from him as Kirishima tried to calm him down. Even with that as background noise, her ears were able to pick up faint steps and she turned back to see a knife glinting near Bakugo. She kicked down hard at the thug. He didn't even get to finish his threat before she knocked him out.

"Amazing reaction time," Kirishima muttered, looking at Amaya in wonderment.

She didn't hear his quiet compliment because Bakugo started yelling at her again.

"Oi pipsqueak! You didn't need to do that shit. I can protect myself and don't need some extra trying to save me," Bakugo's red eyes were fierce as they stared back into Amaya's bored golden ones.

Bakugo too was a bit impressed by her instincts but he hated the fact that someone so small had 'saved' him. It pissed him off that she didn't cower like every other extra did, but what pissed him off the most was that he almost respected that she didn't shy away from him.

"If you're done acting childish, I'm leaving," Amaya stated, turning and heading toward where she thought Aizawa was, ignoring Bakugo's growling. Had the situation been different she might've been glad that Bakugo wasn't scared of her, but she had business to take care of and this idiot was only getting in the way.

Bakugo glared at her tiny form, fuck being slightly impressed, this mangy cat thought he was nothing better than a kid.

He'd show her not to underestimate him.

"Wait, we should go find our other classmates and help them out," Kirishima's voice called out, making Amaya stop for a second.

"If all these villains are small fries like the ones, we fought then those wimps can handle it. They'll be fine, I'm going after that warp bastard," Bakugo calmly announced, heading in the same direction as Amaya, shoving at her shoulder making her almost fall from the force.

Amaya would've been impressed by Bakugo's rational words if he hadn't just shoved her like an asshole.

"I swear one minute he's actually this smart resourceful guy the next he's- "

"A dumbass narcissist. Doesn't matter right now, Erasure Head is still alone."

With that she didn't even bother to listen to Kirishima's response or stay to see his sudden admiration grow. Instead all three headed out in the same direction, Bakugo taking the lead.

"Umm. Hey Hitachi-san I just wanted to let you know I'm sorry for the way I've ignored you. It's definitely not manly and you don't deserve that treatment, especially since all I've seen you do so far is act heroically," Kirishima abruptly stated, a friendly smile on his face as he looked at Amaya.

Amaya almost froze, she had not expected that at all. Right now, was not the time to be caught up in weird feelings so instead she nodded at Kirishima and walked faster to the area that she heard fighting coming from.

"I hope Aizawa's alright. He has to be okay…"

They continued their fast pace, only ever stopping to fight some low-class thug.

"Ah!" Amaya's ears picked up ahead, a pained cry that made her stumble.

"No… no! No! No!"

Bursting with speed she pushed Bakugo hard to the side not even catching his shout of protest before sliding to a stop at the scene before her. She'd leave them to deal with anymore attackers, her goal was reaching Aizawa.

Bakugo and Kirishima couldn't believe how fast the cat-girl ran and raced to reach up to her but got sidetracked by a couple of thugs. Bakugo stared at her small figure in the distance and clenched his fist. He'd catch up to her and show her up.

Tears welled up in Amaya's eyes as she saw Aizawa, the man that saved her and took her in, being crushed by a massive disfigured creature. That revolting purple, almost black monster was sitting on Aizawa's back breaking his arms like they were twigs.

"AIZAWA!"

She couldn't scream, for a second she just stood there watching his pain and that creature crushing him like a bug.

Not taking any time to assess the situation or even think of a game plan, she rushed forward whipping out her small knives and throwing them at the monster's back. The knives sunk into the skin with some struggle, causing the creature to shriek. However, it only had to flex before they all clanged to the ground and the skin healed.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Not wanting to give it an opportunity she grabbed her katanas and aimed to slice its arms. The creature was fast, avoiding her swords, but Amaya's anger gave her the speed to slash its chest. Smoke oozed from the wound but other than that the creature didn't seem hurt.

"Your little swords won't do any good on my Nomu. I'd run away while you still can, little girl, unless you want to be crushed," a creepy voice called out, mocking Amaya's attempt of an attack.

She ignored the man and turned around with her katanas ready just as the creature came jumping toward her. Driving her heels into the ground, she used all her strength to stab the swords into the creature's stomach, the sharp ends piercing all the way through its back. It cried out in pain and then used its arm to break the swords. The ends were still protruding through its back but the Nomu didn't seem to care, only flexing once more and letting the now broken katanas fall to the floor.

Amaya didn't allow herself to be shocked. Instead she pounced onto the monster, landing on his back. Gold slits blazing, fangs sharp, she bit his neck as hard as she could before ripping her mouth away, taking a chunk of its skin with her. The Nomu merely snarled and grabbed her hair before she could react, slamming her down next to Aizawa. The creature reacted as if she was nothing more than an annoying fly.

A gasp of pain escaped, and she was pretty sure that she now had some broken ribs.

"Hitachi! Get away from here!" Aizawa shouted, coughing mid-way through his sentence.

"You can use me. Do it now child! Before your beloved Aizawa dies!"

"Shut up! I don't need you. I can do this. I don't want to hurt anyone."

"Hah… because of your stubborn attitude now someone will die."

"What's this? A little kitty trying to save her teacher? Well you can try all you want but as you can see your little swords did nothing. Not even you can leave a mark on my Nomu," a dry voice interrupted Amaya's thought.

She looked up and stared into the red eyes from before. Panting from pain, she looked away and saw that he was right, this Nomu creature continued to regenerate. A new layer had already grown in where the chunk of skin was ripped off.

Amaya felt herself start to tremble, ice filling her veins.

Was this thing even human?

"Ahhh! You're a little Hitachi aren't you! My my I knew I saw you that day. I guess I was right. Well what's someone like you doing with a bunch of heroes?" That same crusty voice asked, eyes lighting up as he took in Amaya's form. Slowly getting up to stand, she didn't give him an answer, and instead used her adrenaline to jump and scratch at the hand covering his face.

"If I can't attack that 'Nomu' maybe I can stop the master!"

"Just use me insolent brat! You'll win much faster with me taking the lead!"

Ignoring the voice, she threw a hard kick into the blue haired man's stomach, catching him off guard and throwing him to the ground. Before she could attack more, she felt a gust of wind from behind her, and she ducked, barely missing the Nomu's gigantic hand.

Jumping away she stared at the crumpled form of her guardian on the floor, the crazily excited man getting back up and the large Nomu guarding said man.

"This kitty sure has some claws. But what else can I expect from a Hitachi? Your parents definitely raised you right," the blue haired man complimented, his satisfied tone making goosebumps appear on Amaya's arms.

"Shut up! I'm not like my parents! Get the hell away from this class!" Amaya snarled, running in front of Aizawa's body, ready to attack.

Crusty let out a low chuckle, amusement filling his voice, "Oh Hitachi, you are your parents daughter, meaning you have that same dangerous blood running through you. Now c'mon let me see that hidden quirk of yours that your parents talked so much about!" Amaya couldn't see it, but she was sure he was smiling.

She froze.

"What? How does he know about that? Did my parents really let that secret out? Who is this guy?"

"What's wrong kitty, aren't you going to show off that beautifully destructive quirk of yours? Or do none of these heroes know about it and so you're worried how they'll see you if you use it?" The man teased, slowly closing in on Amaya's rigid form.

"Don't get any closer!" Amaya gritted out, her claws swiping at the air.

The man paused staring at her for a few seconds before looking at Aizawa's broken form. "Hmmmm. I see. Looks like you need an incentive. Nomu, kill that man," Crusty commanded, pointing at Aizawa.

Before she could blink, she felt a strong force knock the wind out of her and she was thrown a few feet away from where Aizawa was. Coughing up blood, she struggled to stand, facing her body towards Aizawa and instantly wished she hadn't.

She looked over; her blood ran cold.

Slam.

Her eyes widened; her breathing stopped.

Slam.

Her heart stopped.

Slam.

Aizawa's head was making a crater into the ground, blood spilling everywhere.

"IF YOU DON'T USE ME, HE'LL DIE! FUCKING DO IT GIRL!"

Screaming Amaya bit her tattoo covered wrist and let the blood drop onto the floor.

Instantly dark misty tendrils crept up her wrist, swirling all around her body. Her veins turned black, looking like haunted vines on her face. Her once gold eyes started turning white. She shuddered as she felt her conscious start slipping away little by little.

Smirking, a dark and murderous voice came out of the small cat girl's body,

"Looks like someone wants to die today. Well don't worry, killing's my specialty."
