No point in keeping you waiting, let's jump in from where we left off.

Chapter cover- Minxs emerging from the shadows looking to grab the viewer.

Ch.28- Cheapshot

While Axel was searching around, he managed to find Himiko and then found Ochaco and Tsu.

"Let's regroup and find the others," Axel recommends hoping everybody is ok, but just then mist starts to set in.

"I hope you can entertain me better than Cortney did," Minxs says, cracking her neck, now wearing a dark purple duster and cowboy hat tilting it down to hide her face. Hearing Cortney's name brings out something from deep within Axel.

"Why do you want Cortney and Bakugo?! How did find us- even we didn't even know about this place." Axel shouts at Minxs to which she retorts by chuckling under her hat before lifting it up showing her face.

"Unlike my colleague, Muscular, I'm not a complete dumbass and won't reveal our plan just because you ask. But I will tell you who we are. We are the Vanguard Action Squad and we have come to destroy your sense of peace." Minxs reveals, at the same time Himiko went into stealth and is attempting to stab Minxs in the back, but is caught by a fist.

*tsk tsk* Minxs sucks on her teeth, waving her finger at Himiko's attack before she starts talking again, "I'll give one thing, good idea trying to sneak-attack me, but." Minxs points a finger at the fist holding Himiko and she brought in front of Minxs. Tsu isn't having any of this and flicks her tongue out at Minxs, who avoids it and then snaps her fingers again, causing the fist to implode on Himiko.

"Himi!" Axel calls out to Himiko after seeing what just happened.

"HEY!" Minxs barks, "I'm not murder happy like the rest of my squad... I've already captured Cortney, give up Bakugo and we'll leave, otherwise, I have no problem beating the information out of all of you." Minxs emphases the last part by punching her fist into her hand.

"You try anything and I blow... Himi, up." Minxs explains why she's here.

"Don't call me that." Himiko gasps as she fights to free herself.

"RECIPRO BURST!" Using his engines Axel speeds off at Minxs giving her no other option than just blocking it with her arms. She holds her ground outlasting the ten seconds, causing Axel's engine to flood, but is forced to dodge away upon sensing a knife flying at her. Ochaco and Tsu follow up by trying to grab Minxs however, she avoids them thanks to her mist.

"Well, you're actually giving me a run for my money." Minxs says happily she found people who can keep her entertained, "But four against one is too much for me to handle, even for me." Minxs admits when she's in over her head.

"Invisible lances." Minxs juts her arm out and commands her mist to stab Himiko in the side following that up by clapping her hands together.

"Mist Bomb Squad." Minxs sets off a series of grenades under Ochaco and Tsu to launch them up and away. Before Minxs can get the main show started, she senses more people coming.

"That's a lot of people, fuck you guys I'm out." Minxs states before taking a deep breath and inhaling most of her mist but leaving enough to escape on a cloud, flying away on top of it.

Axel would fly after Minxs but he has to close the hole in Himi's side and check on the other girls.

Meanwhile

We can't get a break from dealing with one problem to the next. After I finished off the Teeth villain, a rampaging Dark Shadow comes out nowhere chasing Mezo who carrying Deku in his back.

"GUYS USE, YOUR QUIRKS TO TAME DARK SHADOW!" Izuku asks of us. I try to run out the way but almost trip, I overestimated how much power I had left, forcing Bakugo and Shoto to intervene in my stead. They had enough firepower to calm Dark Shadow down, Fumikage apologizes.

Izuku suggests we cut straight through the forest to avoid any more fights, which is a good idea as we are making our way back to camp, I hear someone running alongside us in the forest and see Itsuka carrying Tetsu and someone else in her enlarged hands.

Before Itsuka can explain anything, we hear another fight. Once we make there, the fight is already over. Axel, Tsu, and Ochaco are good but Himiko is bleeding. As we try to figure out what's going on-

"Nice trick eh?" A man wearing a black and white mask makes himself know. His ensemble consists of a dark yellow, double-breasted overcoat with buttoned shoulder tabs and a high collar, which reaches below his knees, and a silver walking stick with a gold handle. If that doesn't scream entertainer then I'll eat my own foot.

He's tossing what looks to be marbles and Bakugo is nowhere to be seen.

"We got what we came here for. Mission complete." Minxs says, laughing even while Shoto attacks with a giant wall of ice. They both jump out the way but gives Kosei, who's been knocked out this time, to Ochaco and a giant wave of ice similar in scale to what he unleashed on Sero during the School Festival. He nearly freezes over his right side.

But Minxs is floating above the ice holding the masked villain, "Vanguard Action Squad, Both Cortney Tan and Katsuki Bakugo have been captured, make your way to the rendezvous point in five minutes." Minxs says into an earpiece.

"After her!" Izuku says, but Axel stays back to take care of Himiko. As we're chasing Minxs, Izuku comes up with a plan.

He wants Ochaco to use her quirk on us and then have Suu throw us at the villains. Shoto recommends that Izuku stay away due to his injuries but he still has some fight left in him, Ochaco takes off her shirt and rips to make a splint for Izuku's arms.

After Suu throws us, we barrel right at the masked villain and send him crashing to the ground, right in front of three other villains- fuck.

Meanwhile back at camp

Kirishima is arguing to Ms. Tan about letting him after Bakugo.

"I'm not letting any of you leave," Ms. Tan retorts, "I know he said you could use your quirks but, it was for the kids outside. If you go out now then…" Ms. Tan tries to think before hearing someone coming to the door.

"Get away from the door!" Ms. Tan pushes everyone away as blue flames blown the door open.

The villain then walks through the door, his hands and legs are burned purple. Before he can do anything else, Ms. Tan fires her shotgun and hit in the chest with a bean-bag making him bend over. She then wraps her chain around his legs making him trip.

As the villain tries to get up, Ms. Tan stuffs her shotgun in his face, "Big mistake."

"Are you sure about that? You acted just like I expected." This prompts Ms. Tan to push her shotgun further in his face.

"We've shaken hero society, people are started to get unsure about heroes. People won't be sure how to feel after they find you lost two students." The villain explains. Ms. Tan pulls the trigger and blows the villain's leg off, however instead of blood, the villain breaks down into a brown liquid.

"Clones." Ms. Tan mutters, before Mr. Aizawa enters.

"Don't worry about the kids here, go help the others in the forest." Ms. Tan suggests.

"Alright, take care of Kota." Aizawa leaves Kota in Ms. Tan's care before leaving. Ms. Tan lowers her mask to show her face because she sees Kota is scared.

"Don't worry Kota, everyone will alright." She tries to calm Kota.

Forest

"Give Kacchan and Cortney back to us," Deku says crushing the villain's spine with his shoes.

"Out of the way Compress." The scar villain says before the masked villain turns into a marble, the scarred villain launches a blue fireball, I'm completely consumed while Shoto is the only one to escape unharmed, Deku and Mezo get their arms caught in the fire.

A villain wearing a bodysuit attacks Shoto but is stopped by some ice. The masked villain returns to normal while they are distracted.

"You got them?" The burn villain asks. Mezo holds out two marbles revealing, he managed to steal them from the mask villain.

"Nice one Mezo!" Peace says after consuming the blue flames as they run away, a Nomu and the warp villain intercepts them.

The mask reveals that Mezo got tricked and the real ones are in his mouth. Before the mask villain leaves, he gloats one last time and bows, he then gets hit by a laser destroying his mask and dropping the marbles in his mouth.

Peace grabs one, but Shoto is too slow as the scarred villain grabs the other while Deku finally succumbs to his injuries.

The masked villain snaps his fingers, revealing Peace got Bakugo while the villains got Cortney, still knocked out. Before the villains can get away Chibi manages to sneak in.

"CORTNEY, CORTNEY, CORTNNNEY!" Deku tries to reach for Cortney but eats dirt.

Later

Ms. Tan called emergency services and in total fifteen students were knocked unconscious because of Mustard's poison gas, twelve others received unrelated injuries, thirteen were physically unharmed and one was kidnapped. Three villains were captured and the media is having a field day on the incident.

Only five students from Class 1-B were unharmed Peace, Axel, Itsuka, Neito and Yuri. Chibi was nowhere to be found, Yuri said he ran off.

"Dammit!" The villains are showing the aftermath of their attack and have me in restraints.

Hospital

Me and Tetsu failed to save Cortney, Pony is in intensive care. I failed as a hero.

"Peace, are you crazy!?" Itsuka ask me after I told everyone that I'm going to rescue Cortney.

"This is the most WE own Cortney, so are coming with me or not!" I retort.

"YEA-" Tetsu is cut off by Axel's scarf wrapping around him.

"You need to rest Tetsu. As for me Peace, sorry but I'm letting the pros deal with one." Axel gives his respond.

I just leave, I'll do this alone as I make my way out the hospital I hear somebody talking in Deku's room. It sounds like Bakugo.

"Dammit Tenya, one of our friends is in danger, don't tell me she wouldn't do the same thing for any of us," Bakugo argues.

I show myself, crying, "T-T-Thank you Bakugo. I thought I was the only one who wanted to save Cortney." Bakugo hugs me to comfort me.

"See what I mean?"

Later that night

Me, Bakugo and Shoto are waiting for Momo's decision on the tracking device. Momo and Deku walk out but before we can ask anything, Tenya appear.

Tenya is telling us to stop, and telling us that we are doing the same thing he did in Hosu. Izuku tries to convince Tenya, but Tenya punches Izuku in the face. We're all shocked at what just happened.

"What was that for Glasses?" Bakugo grabs Tenya.

"Wait!" But I stop Bakugo before things escalate even further, "Tenya's brother was the Turbo Hero Ingenium." I say to give Bakugo a little context to Tenya's punch, and Bakugo's eyes shoot wide open.

"He wanted to get revenge on The Hero Killer, but nearly died! We didn't step in Tenya could've died!" I add, not forgetting what I saw that day.

Writer- And with that, we end for now sorry for the abrupt end. This chapter was being a pain in my ass and I wanted to get it over. I hope you enjoyed.
