Midoriya frantically searched the cameras. He saw Todoroki and Bakugo hide and then he caught Kirishima running and something was chasing him.
"If I don't do something Kirishima's dead," he thought to himself. "What are Wraith's weakness? I just saw it somewhere."
Midoriya flipped the pages of the journal till he found it. He grabbed what he needed from the equipment shelf and ran out of the van. Kirishima was starting to feel the hairs on the back of his neck rise; he could see the exit and for a brief moment, he was relieved but he tripped over debris and his momentum sent him flying. He hit the floor with a hard thud, knocking the wind out of him. Gasping for air, the flickering lights intensified.
"Kirishima!"
He heard Midoriya's voice and saw him throwing something in the air, in fact he did it multiple times in different directions. Then, Midoriya began to sprinkle something around themselves.
"Midoriya," Kirishima coughed. "What are you doing?"
"I'm making a barrier with salt. It's the only thing that can stop a Wraith's attack. But, it also increases activity."
"Midoriya! Kirishima! Please respond," yelled Todoroki over the radio.
"We're fine. Kirishima is fine." Midoriya answered.
"Great, then I say let's get outta here," Bakugo gruffly stated.
"I agree but we don't know if the Wraith is still nearby. Midoriya, what are the activity levels," asked Todoroki.
"Can't answer that. I had to run in to help Kirishima. I made a circle of salt to keep the Wraith from attacking Kirishima. If you and Kachan can make it to the exit, you would be safe."
"Kirishima, get to the van to keep an eye on things for us. Midoriya, do you have enough salt?"
"I've got about a can and half now."
"Then Bakugo and I will stay put until it's time move."
"That's stupid! We should move now!"
"The risk is too great at this point! We need confirmation!"
"Guys, I'm at the van. Activity levels are down so if you're going to move do it now," said Kirishima over the radio.
"Good enough for me! I'm heading out now," yelled Bakugo as he began running for the exit.
Todoroki did the same while Midoriya continued throwing salt around. Soon, the building began to shake and lights flickered again.
"What the crap is going on now," yelled Bakugo.
"Activity level has spiked again," cried Kirishima. "It's off the charts! I think we made it mad!"
Todoroki kept running and finally made it to Midoriya.
"Kirishima, where's Bakugo," Todoroki asked.
A quick check of the cameras gave the answer.
"Bakugo's down!"
"You get to the van, I'll get Kachan," cried Midoriya as he ran off. "Where is he?"
"Do you remember where camera 10 is?"
"Yeah."
"That hallway."
Midoriya sprinkled salt as he went. He spotted Bakugo out cold on the floor. Bits of debris scattered by his head.
"I found Kachan. Any sign of the Wraith?"
"Negative. I'm not seeing anything on the cameras as well," answered Todoroki.
Midoriya wrapped Bakugo's arm around his neck and grasped his waist and began to walk as fast as he could.
"They're on their way now," said Todoroki while watching the cameras.
"Great, I'm so ready to leave now." Kirishima noticed the activity levels going up. "Midoriya, it's active again!"
Todoroki saw a shadowy figure close behind Midoriya and Bakugo.
"You're almost there! Keep going," he said for encouragement.
"Come on, Kachan! Wake up!"
The two finally made it and the exit was in sight.
"You got this guys," yelled Kirishima.
"We've made it, Kachan," cried Midoriya.
But the feelings of euphoria were short-lived when the doors slammed shut.
"No," cried Midoriya.
Kirishima and Todoroki rushed to try and get the doors open.
"They're stuck! Midoriya! Bakugo," yelled Todoroki.
Midoriya was facing the Wraith, it was unleashing its rage at the intruders. Midoriya grabbed what little salt was left and threw it at the Wraith. It recoiled and shrieked. Bakugo was finally coming to.
"What?! Hey, get off me you stupid nerd!"
"Kachan! I don't know know if you've noticed but we've got a problem here!"
Bakugo looked to see the issue.
"Then why are we still standing here?!"
"The doors are jammed," yelled Midoriya.
Bakugo got to work banging the doors. It felt like they weren't budging. It was the same for Todoroki and Kirishima. Midoriya remembered they needed a picture so he snapped one. The Wraith didn't like the flash.
"Did you just take a picture?!"
"We needed one!"
"You stupid nerd! We need to get out of here and you decide to play photographer?!"
"If I didn't then this would have been for nothing!"
Meanwhile, Todoroki felt his phone vibrate. He looked to see his 6 AM alarm was going off.
"It's finally morning," he thought to himself.
He turned to see the sky slowly turning brighter. Kirishima noticed as well. Then, the doors opened and Midoriya and Bakugo walked out.
"Did the Wraith," started Kirishima.
"Disappear," finished Midoriya. "Yeah. Thankfully, I got a picture," he smiled holding the camera up.
"Good work," smiled Todoroki.
The four men looked at the morning sky. Grateful they survived the night.
"Well, we got what we came for. Let's go already," said Bakugo as he entered the van.
"Yeah, I'm beat. How about some breakfast before we head back," suggested Kirishima as he followed next.
Todoroki climbed into the driver seat while Midoriya took the passenger seat. The van drove down the road away from their nightmarish experience.
I think what I'm going to do is to just add more chapters that will feature other characters and try my best to create different scenarios from each other. Hope you enjoyed this first one and I'll see you in the next one. Bye-Bye!
