A/N: I really need to re-watch the movie... I'm just saying because I've started to forget a bunch of details. Anyways enjoy!

Chapter 40: Found Out and Lost

The 10 Hero Students, one Quirk-less Support Student and AI stretched out across six devices among them (really more but they were with Hibiki) headed up stairs.

After several stories of Aiko's silence, someone decided to ask.

"Why are you being so unusually quiet?" asked Toru.

"Because this is serious." Said Aiko, "Look during serious things with Hibiki I only talk to him if I have to… and this is one of those things…"

"Really?" asked Ochaco.

"Yes! Most of the time I just analyze the situation and warn Hibiki of certain things or give my input." Said Aiko, "Usually thanks to me Hibiki tends to manage to dodge attacks but it's not a perfect record… like this one team up with Bar Brawl."

"Wait what about…" said Izuku.

"If you are about to ask about the exam… that argument we had was staged." Said Aiko.

"Oh that makes sense" said Izuku.

"Yeah, I'm not an idiot to distract him in during a fight, I give advice and such." Said Aiko, "I annoy him off duty… and only off duty… or the occasional snarky remark when he deverses it."

"Maybe we should focus back on running to the top." Said Momo.

"Yeah good idea! Keep quiet unless I have to." Said Aiko.

However she did end up talking as they continued up the stairs Aiko did have to talk again.

As Melissa had to take off her shoes.

Which made sense as she was wearing heels after all.

But the fact she had to take off her shoes was a red flag for Aiko.

"Momo! When you get the chance, create some shoes for her." Said Aiko.

"What why?" asked Momo.

"Something might end up going wrong… we have to prepare for whatever might go wrong. And for all we know that one of the bad guys might end up shooting glass because they see she's barefoot." Said Aiko.

"You don't think that could happen to her?" asked Mineta.

"It could." Said Aiko.

"If I get the chance I'll do it." Said Momo.

"Good." Said Aiko.

Back down in the Gala…

"Just a quick heads up." Said Aiko to the link between All Might and Hibiki, "One of the kids took off their shoes."

"Why?" asked All Might.

"High heels…" said Aiko, "Can't blame her… but I did warn them about hazards like glass so…"

"Well one thing was averted." Said Hibiki.

"I'll give updates in case something else happens… Die Hard related or no." said Aiko.

"You really think that there would be another thing from Die Hard happen?" asked All Might.

"It' possible… or the building could just be filled with references of 1980's movies. They are going up a huge flight of stairs… granted their not wearing unlicensed nuclear accelerators on their backs so it's not perfect. But still." Said Aiko.

"I don't know how to respond to that." Replied Hibiki.

"Hey… it's okay… we'll just have to wait and see if there's either more reverences to Die Hard or if the building's made of 80's movies! We won't know until the night is over." Said Aiko.

Hibiki looked up to the stage though All Might was looking at him he could see him shrug.

Back on the stairs, they counited up the way. However around the 80th floor it was blocked.

"It wouldn't surprise me if they know we're here." Said Momo.

"Or a backup just in case." Said Izuku.

"We need to go another way." Said Melissa.

"Wait!" said Aiko.

"What?" asked Melissa.

"Shoes." Said Momo.

"Oh right." Said Melissa.

As they had a few seconds, Momo got Melissa's shows size and she made a rather comfortable pair of shoes for her.

"All a good time to refill for you." Said Toru giving Momo some cupcakes.

"Where did those come from?" asked Melissa confused.

"Don't question the cupcakes." Said Izuku.

Melissa led them another way.

Of course they tried to be as stealthy as possible.

"Hey you got your Haki going?" asked Aiko.

Izuku nodded.

"Good. Tell me if you need a reminder." Said Aiko.

Izuku realized what it meant.

"Come on, I've been keeping track of your skills." Said Aiko, "If you need one I'll give it you. But just remember just because I can do it, it's not a permanent substitute for getting over them."

However even after going through of course they got caught.

"Shit!" yelled Izuku going into Sanji mode.

"What's bunch of kids doing here?" asked one of the criminals.

However Izuku ran over to them kicked one of them in the face so hard the guy went flying. The other guy was about to fire on Izuku, however Momo ran in with a sword and cut the guy's gun in half before using the sword to knock the guy out.

"Okay… that definitely wasn't good." Said Ochaco.

"I really hope they let everyone watch that they're going to give you at camp." Said Kaminari.

"This way…" said Melissa.

Back in the Gala, the leader had gotten a message about something, but none of the hostages could tell what was as he left.

"Aiko…" said Hibiki.

"If it was probably about "Them meddling kids"… yeah… they got caught. Izuku and Momo did kick their buts BUT they're aware of it." Said Aiko.

"Shit." Muttered All Might in English.

"Great…" said Hibiki.

Back with the kids… Melissa led them to an extremely large room filled with plants.

"There's an elevator in here." Said Melissa, "But I don't know if we'll be able to go up from here."

"It's better than nothing." Said Toru.

She led them to the elevator.

However they quickly saw more people there.

"Hide!" said Izuku.

All of them hid and hid in the plants.

However as they hid the group noticed three of them missing. Toru, Ochaco and Izuku.

"Wait… where's…" said Momo as quality as she could.

"Well I'm right here… I took off and my clothes… expect for my shoes." Said Toru, "also I gave Todoroki my tracker when no one was looking… I can't exactly carrying like this."

This just made everyone sweat drop.

They should have known.

Ochaco from her hiding spots sighed remember the others might have been worried about it.

"Aiko…" whispered Ochaco.

"I know." Sighed Aiko.

In Momo's device.

"Ninja~" she reminded everyone.

"Oh yeah, I forgot Ochaco's a ninja now." Sighed Kaminari.

With Izuku he realized the same thing.

As he was a in a really good hiding spot at the moment.

"I might have had some pre-pirate stealth training." He told Aiko to give the message to the others.

"Oooh…" said Aiko figuring out who gave him it.

"Please tell them." Said Izuku.

"Izuku had some stealth training in his past life when he was younger…" said Aiko, "That's all I will say about it…"

Those who knew it was meant all knew not to ask him about figuring it had to with his early life.

However as they hid they all heard some of the guards.

"So it's the kids that I heard about."

Izuku began to sweat, thinking the others had been found.

"It's not them." Said Aiko.

"It's not?" whispered Izuku.

"I have a bad feeling about it though… not an impending doom feeling like something's going to annoy us beyond all belief." Said Aiko.

Izuku rolled his eyes at Aiko and decided to see who the "kids" they found were.

He managed to not to get spotted but then his eye started to twitch when he saw who it was.

Turned out it was Kirishima and Bakugo.

On the 80th floor.

"Look we're just trying to find the party." Said Kirishima, "Can you tell us where it is."

They were on the 80th floor trying to find the party.

The others heard this argument straining.

"Just tell us where the fucking party is already and we'll be out of your way!" yelled Bakugo.

"No… it can' t be…" said Mashirao who knew this feeling well.

Everyone but Melissa look at Mashirao then looked at little at the two, then back at Mashirao.

"Wait you don't think it's…" said Mineta.

"It's not contagious!" muttered Mashirao, "IF it was then I wouldn't be the only one. It's more of hereditary thing."

Kyoka stared Mashirao.

"Now's not the time to talk about it." Grumbled Mashirao.

However things was clear…

"I am going to go silent for the next minute…" said Aiko from Izuku's, Ochaco's and Momo's trackers at the same time, "I'm still listening to everything… but… I just… can't for the next minute."

Thankfully she had a place to vent her frustrations. Which meant Hibiki and All Might had to listen to her venting. Thankfully it wasn't that bad.

"NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! A whole big bucket of NOPE!" ranted Aiko.

"What happened?" asked All Might.

"Good news! They haven't been caught at the moment." Said Aiko, "The bad news: Kirishima and Bakugo weren't with them when everything went down. I thought they either decided not to show up because Bakugo… or they were outside the building at the time so you know… ended up being forced into lockdown elsewhere. But NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! They were in the building this whole time. Trying to find the Gala… And they might have gotten lost… I don't mean a little lost I mean a certain level of lost."

Both All Might and Hibiki winced.

They realized why she was acting that way.

"No…" said Hibiki.

"Yes… they're on the 80th floor…" said Aiko.

"Nope until they're in danger and they need your help." Ordered Hibiki.

"Thank you!" replied Aiko who once again repeated the word "Nope!" over and over again.

"So…" said All Might.

"She constantly tracks him…I have given her breaks, but yeah… she has to keep a constant eye on him…" said Hibiki, "From what I can tell if she wasn't an AI she would have driven insane by this point."

"That… makes a lot of sense." Said All Might.

However back on the 80th Floor. They knew they had to help.

Both Mashirao and Izuku were the first to jump into help.

With that the first real fight of the night was beginning…

But still… they had to get involved because two of their classmates got THAT level of lost.

This was not a good night.

Next Time: With Bakugo and Kirishima joining them thanks to impossibly bad sense of direction, however they have to split up again with Todoroki and Mashirao staying behind with the two to fight off the criminals on that level. What will happen? Find out next time!
