HERE IS THE ANTICIPATED CONCLUSION TO DAY 3!
-hands out tissues for free-
By the way, I keep listening to a certain song over and over, and I really feel like it's Katsuki and Izuku's song to be honest, so cute. I can Imagine it~
It's called
The Last of the Real Ones by Fallout Boy~
Sorry for the short chapter by the way, but I needed to end it on the note that it does.
ENJOY!
Izuku was running as hard as she could towards the forest, she needed to get to Katsuki, she had find him, she had to get him out of the forest, away from those villains!
"THIS KID NEEDS TO DIE!" She heard a villain shouting behind her, but she couldn't turn back, Katsuki was top priority now.
"DON'T LAY A FINGER ON HER!" She heard the reptile guy yell behind her, but she couldn't stop to see why, she could only hear shouts behind her.
"SHE'S ON THE PRIORITY HIT LIST!" The first one yelled, she was in the tree line now, jumping over the bushes.
"THAT'S JUST SHIGARAKI'S STUPID PERSONAL AGENDA! STAIN SAVED HER LIFE, I DEEM HER WORTHY OF SHOULDERING THE BURDEN OF HERO!"
"Ha... burden?" She thought to herself, letting out a ironic laugh as she pushed on through the forest. She figured that last guy must have been a Hero Killer follower, and she ground her teeth together in anger.
"THE STUDENT NAMED KACCHAN! WHOEVER KACCHAN IS, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AVOID COMBAT! REFRAIN FROM SOLO MOVEMENTS! GOT IT, KACCHAN?!"
"I've got to bear this, I've got a job to dooooo!" the horribly creepy voice called out from the shadows, as sharp bone shot out in an array of zigzags, cutting down tree's and through some ice.
"This is not a time to be reckless!" Todoroki yelled behind Katsuki as he brought up a wall of ice to stop some more of the strange quirk attack. "Didn't you hear, moron?! They're targeting you!"
"SHUT UP!" Katsuki snapped in anger, his hands exploding. "Izuku... She must have come across a villain and now she's probably doing something stupid... First they say to fight, and now not too?!" The boy looked back at Todoroki, glaring. "She might be hurt some where, or coming to look for me in this fucking hell! I won't let her get hurt because of me!" He saw a blade of the bone shoot through the ice, and it smacked him in face and knocked him back, while Todoroki brought up more walls of ice all around them.
"Well if you're going to run around looking for her, we need to focus on getting away from this guy..." Todoroki huffed out, he had a class B student on his back. "He knows how to make use of his surroundings and quirk..."
"Lookds to me like a gangly weakass who needs his teeth kicked in!" Katsuki snapped, clenching his fist, before looking up at the enemy. Both boys had noticed the blades of bone were shooting out his teeth, while he himself was bound head to toe in leather, even his eyes.
"If you go exploding stuff here you might start a fire, moron." Todoroki sighed out, and looked at Katsuki "It could surround us and kill all of us, even Izuku, so calm down."
"Shut your face, I know that." Katsuki snapped, and looked behind himself. There was gas behind them, and this fucking weirdo in front... "Shit... Izuku... You better be okay..."
The girl in question was leaping through the forest, when she heard a gun shot. She jumped over a bush, looking up in concern. "Where is everyone...?" She asked herself, and felt her tears burning again. "Kacchan should be around here some where... Unless he ran into someone... damnit..." She felt her tears pouring down her face as she jumped over another bush, before her eyes looked to her left. They widened in horror as she saw a black shadow hand reaching out towards her.
"AAAAAAHHH!" She screamed, and held her arms up to protect herself, but there was a loud boom, and she felt little pain, before realizing she was being held in some one' arms. She opened her eyes, and was shocked. "Shouji...?!"
"You're injured, why are you moving around like that...?" He asked her, keeping his eyes forwards now. "Covered in blood... A girl with her shirt like that should be looking for another one. The lengths you go to, to save your friends is amazing..."
"I'm alright..." She told him, as he set her down, giving her a worried look. "Well.. better than I could have been. I can still move and fight." she told him, clenching her left fist. "But... Just now... Was that...?"
"Yeah..." Souji sighed out. "We were ambushed by a villain, and I covered for him but... It triggered the quirk he was trying to keep under control... If we want to go on pat here, we need to do something about him first..." She looked up into the darkness, and saw a horrific scene of Tokoyami being practically swallowed up by his quirk Dark Shadow...
"The darker it gets, the more powerful my quirk becomes... But it becomes more difficult to control."
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Tokoymi shouted at them, "YOU WILL DIE!"
"T-Tokoyami..." Izuku stuttered out in horror as Dark Shadow went wild around her friend. "Wh... What happened...? Why...?"
"Ssh..." Shouji looked at her, and then back at the threat in front of them. "We recieved Mandalei's message of the villains and battle restriction, so we were on alert... But the instant we heard the sound of tree's splitting behind us... We we're attacked by a villain with a lightning quick shape shifting blades... I was able to cover for Tokoyami but got an arm sliced off, we managed to hide in the undergrowth."
"Y-your arm...?!" Izuku cried in a hushed tone, and she looked at the bleeding appendage, horrified. "My god, Shouji..!"
"It's not a shallow wound, but it's not like I lost an arm. I'm alright." He patted her head gently. "With my replacement arms even replicated portions can be duplicated, the arm that was cut off was a duplicate." He looked up ahead of them, and at Dark Shadow. "How ever... He wasn't able to bear it... the quirk he was holding back started to rampage."
Izuku looked up at the once docile quirk, and she felt her heart tighten in her chest. Katsuki was near by, but her friend was in so much trouble, and she knew she couldn't just run away or Dark Shadow would come after her anyways.
"It'll attack anything that moves or makes a sound..." Shouji stayed hushed next to her. "He's become a monster..."
"He's not a monster..." Izuku said, holding back her tears. "He's trying... He told me about this..."
"DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME... UURGH!" Tokoyami cried out, knowing they were still near by as they hid behind a tree. "GO FIND BAKUGO AND SAVE THEM! QUIET YOURSELF DARK SHADOW!"
"Midoriya..." Shouji said in his still hushed voice, "We need to lead him back to the facility, to some light... It'll calm him down, right...? It doesn't matter what condition I'm in, I won't leave him behind to suffer like this... It was out of concern for Bakugou that you're here like that, aren't you...? I'll dstract Dark shadow so you can get through."
"hold on... the facility and fires are pretty far away," Izuku looke up at Shouji with a nervous sweat. "That's too dange-" She heard the sound, and moved. Dark Shadow made his attack and swiped at both of them, ripping the tree in half to attack. She had dodged with Shouji to the side, and looked back at Dark Shadow. They hid behind anoher tree with ease, and she groaned a bit.
"I know..." Shouji whispered out to her, "But to save someone means to embrace risks... That's why the people that do are called Heroes... At this rate you can try to save Tokoyami with me... Or run to find your boyfriend... Which will it be?"
Izuku's eyes focused through the darkness, and she saw Tokoyami bent over in pain as he tried to control Dark Shadow. They needed light to calm him down, but Katsuki was so close by with Todoroki... She had to get to them... "Wait..." here eyes widened in realization, and she looked up at Shouji. "Hah... Sorry Shouji... But, I can't abandon either of them, so let's do this..."
"Augh..." Todoroki used his quirk to create more ice walls in front of them to stop the attack from the strange quirk user.
"DAMNIT!" Katsuki shouted loudly in anger, "We can't get any closer! The only choice is to shoot a giant fireball at his ass!" Katsuki growled out in anger, starting to get mad that this was taking so long.
"Stop! You can't!" Todoroki shouted at him.
"I Don't care if the tree's catch fire! Just cover them in ice, idiot!" Katsuki snapped back at Todoroki. "She's out there some where, and she might be hurt!"
"Explosions will limit visibility! What do we do if your attack fails and doesn't take him out completely!" Todoroki shouted back at him. "He has more room and more options than we do, She'll be fine, she's stronger than you think!"
"Damnit I know that, but that's why she might be hurt!" Katsuki growled out in anger, his hands popping in explosions. "Knowing her she got into a fight with one of these fuckers, and now she might be bleeding out! I have to find her!"
"THERE THEY ARE! I SEE THE ICE!" Izuku's voice carried out from the forest, and both boys turned their heads in shock, and Katsuki's eyes widened as they saw her running towards them with Shouji, and tree's crashing behind them. "KACCHAN!"
"Izuku..." Katsuki was both horrified and relieved to see her as they ran out of the woods. "IZUKU!"
"HEY! BAKUGO OR TODOROKI! ONE OF YOU MAKE SOME LIGHT, HURRY!" Shouji shouted with wide eyes of horror as Dark Shadow loomed tall over the tree's in anger, and slammed a hand down on the villain that was threatening everyone, crushing him with ease.
"KACCHAN!" Izuku's tears flew off her face, before Dark Shadows hand came crashing down towards her. Her eyes looked up, and she dove out of the way with ease, and her and Shouji took cover.
"IZUKU!" Katsuki held his hands up, sparking them to life as he went to attack but Todoroki grabbed him by the shoulder. "HE'S TRYING TO KILL HER!"
"Calm down, look." Todoroki nodded his head as the villain tried to get back up before he was grabbed by dark shadow, and slammed through thirty tree's. "OKAY NOW!" Todoroki shouted, and the two boys ran towards Tokoyami that was trapped inside the dark mass of his quirk before using their combined quirks to calm the shadow, letting of bright explosions and flames as they passed by him. Tokyami gasped out as he fell to his knees, and Todoroki stopped to help him.
"Thank you... I'm so sorry..." Tokoyami said with a frown to the boy. Katsuki took off at a run towards the bushes Izuku and Shouji were climbing out of, ignoring Tokoyami.
"IZUKU!" He shouted, and she looked up, and smiled as she ran to him too.
"KACCHAN!" She cried out, her tears spilling out of her eyes as she jumped off the ground at him, and he caught her in his arms, hugging her tightly. "Kacchan... I was so worried, I thought they got you..." she sobbed out into his chest as he held her.
"It's alright, I'm just glad you're..." He held her back to take a look at her, before he stopped and paled. From head to toe her clothes were destroyed and she was covered in blood, cuts, and bruises. "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?! GRAB THE KID MY ASS, WHAT DID YOU RUN INTO?!"
"It was just a villain... I had to defeat him to save Kouta... there's more than just a few out here..." Izuku said with a nervous smile, holding up her hands. He grabbed her right hand with both of his, and saw the broken fingers and bruising. "Ow... I'm fine, really."
"No you're not!" He shouted, and looked at her ripped and torn shirt. He could see her bra, but what made him angry was the cuts and blood. "Fuck... I'm going to kill the fucker who did this... fuck fuck fuck..." He kept muttering out as he shimmed the over shirt he was wearing off, and pulled it around her shoulders. "wear this..." He told her as she put her arms through and he buttoned it up for her. "Damnit, Izuku... You're bad for my heart," He pulled her into a tight hug again and held onto her tightly. "You're not leaving my sight, do you hear me...? You're taking a back seat now."
"But we have to get out of here, they're after you...!" She told him as she pulled back a bit to look into his eyes. "I don't know why... That guy was looking for you though and I..." Tears came to her eyes and she sobbed. "I can't let them hurt you, I won't! They're trying to kill me too, okay?! So I'm not going to just stand back and let this happen to everyone!"
"Izuku, calm down..." he told her in a hushed voice as he cleared her tears away. "Stop crying, please..." He hugged her head to his shoulder again, and gripped the back of his shirt she was wearing. They were trying to get to him, and trying to kill her and his classmates on the way... He felt a burning rage in his heart. He wanted to find the fucker responsible for this and kill them himself. "Let's get out of here, we'll worry about the rest of this shit later."
Izuku nodded her head, and wiped away the mix of blood and tears left on her cheeks with her injured hands. Katsuki felt another pain in his chest, seeing her so beaten like that made him angry, and he stood up, helping her up to her feet. They looked at the others who were making sure Tokoyami was alright, and Izuku hurried over.
"Tokoyami... Is everything okay? Are you hurt?" she asked curiously as he stood up off the ground.
"Thanks to you and Shouji I'm alright..." He said with a nod of his head to her, and Izuku smiled in relief. "... What about you?"
"I'm fine, that's not the issue." She said with a sigh, and shook her head.
"I think it should be an issue. You look like you got smacked around like a stick on a rock." Todoroki said with a frown at her.
"... I guess that's a good depiction of what happened...?" She said with a thought, before shaking her head again. "Never mind me! We have to get Kacchan to the lodge where Sensei is, then get out of here! For some reason they're after him but have no problem killing us!" She watched as Shouji took the injured class B boy from Todoroki, and they all looked around at each other.
"If we go through the clearing, the pussycats are currently fighting some villains, If we follow the path back, the villains will definitely spot us... we can't afford another set back, we should cut straight through with the shortest route." Izuku drew a quick diagram in the dirt on the ground with her finger, and stared at it.
"We don't know how many there are, but there's still the possibility that they could suddenly ambush us..." Todoroki said with a thought as he crouched down next to her.
"But shouji has the ability to detest enemies." Izuku looked up at him, "And you've got your freesing, what's more if Tokoyami's all righ, we still have a method controlling his quirk if we need a wild card." Izuku stood up, and clenched her fists tightly. "Honestly, with this team, Not even All Might could scare me."
"Wait..." Katsuki said with a grumble. "I get that I'm a target, but I'm not okay being protected like an egg! You should be the one to stay out of trouble!"
"Kacchan, please..." Izuku looked up at him with pleading eyes.
"No, that's not going to work. If there's trouble I'm not sitting out." He told her firmly, looking back into her eyes with his serious ones.
"Would you two just stop, we need to move." Todoroki said with a flat tone, before everyone started to move on the pan Izuku brought up.
The group ran through the forest with all the speed they could, Izuku taking the front with Shouji right behind her. Katsuki had stuck with Tokoyami and Todoroki like she asked, and she was glad for that. She leaped over a bush, before she saw a break in the tree's. "The path...!" She said with a smile, but her face fell as she heard shouts from the other side on the path.
"OCHAKO?!" That was Asui, her voice sounded panicked and desperate, something must be happening... Izuku'z eyes widened with fear as she kicked off the ground ahead of the others and brust through the trees with her fist clenched and ready. She slid to a stop in the dirt, and spotted Uraraka sitting on top of a boy with a strange mask on, and a school uniform and cardigan. He had platinum blonde hair, and something stabbed into her friend's leg.
"OCHACHAN!" She shouted in rage as the others came out behind her, but she ran at the two of them to help.
"AH, CRAP!" Uraraka was knocked off the boy as he jumped up and away towards the woods. Izuku looked at him, her eyes glowing green in anger as blood dripped down her face as he looked back at her with yellow eyes. "DEKU-CHAN! Augh... THE VILLAIN! WAIT!" Uraraka got to her feet as the boy ran away, Izuku noticing the strange machine on his back, before she slid to a stop by her friend.
"We don't know what quirk that guy has, we'll have to leave it." Asui croaked out, and looked at the others.
"Ochachan, are you alright...?" Izuku asked in concern, "What was with that boy?"
"He was some crazy villain, don't worry about it." Uraraka told her with a smile, before the girls both paused in horror at the sight of their friend. "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!"
"Really, I'm fine. Everyone needs to stop freaking out..." Izuku said with a sigh. She looked down and saw blood trickling down Uraraka's thigh. "You got hurt..!"
"THIS IS NOTHING! LOOK AT THE BLOOD YOU'RE GIVING OFF!" Uraraka shouted at her, and Izuku held her hands up in defence. "BAKUGO, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HER?!"
"He wasn't..." Izuku stopped, and looked behind herself, realizing Katsuki hadn't said anything. She felt her blood chill, unable to see him or Tokoyami. "... Ka... Kacchan...?" She started to shake in fear as she looked around. "KACCHAN!?" she shouted in a panic, unable to see him. Tears came to her eyes as she started back on the path.
"If you're talking about Bakugo... I just used my magic to take him." She heard an eerie voice from up in the trees, and she whipped around to look at a strange man dressed like a magician in a trench coat, with a strange smiling mask on his face and a cane. "Someone like that has no buisness being on the side of Heroes... Not when we have a stage where he can shine even brighter."
"Kach..." Izuku glared at the man in anger, her eyes glowing with power and her tears streaming down her face. "GIVE HIM BACK!"
"Give him back? What a strange choice of words!" The man said with a laugh, before Izuku took off the ground with a boom, and aimed a punch towards the villain.
"HE DOESN'T BELONG TO ANYONE!" She shouted at him, before the man dodged her attack. She landed on the tree in a crouch, and launched at the man again. "HE'S HIS OWN PERSON! GIVE HIM BACK!" she screamed at the villain who leaped out of her reach again.
"All we're doing is telling people who have rigid values that..." The man was in the air and Izuku looked up at him in anger. "That's not the only way to look at things! We simply wanted to make a point. All of you kids, your values have been chosen for you."
"Did you come all the was over here just to give us that spiel?!" Todoroki shouted up at the man who landed on a tree top.
"I was originally and entertainer, you see." The man was holding some balls, and Izuku locked her eyes on them in his hand. "Nabbing Tokoyami was an improvisation. Moonfish, that sword toothed fellow... A guy like that sentenced to death, natural born killer. The violent nature it takes to trample down on someone like him is so unilaterally... I have judged that he'll be useful too!"
"YOU BASTARD! YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE THEM!" Izuku cried out through her tears.
"Izuku, calm down!" Todoroki shouted up at her, before unleashing his ultimate deep freeze attack, encasing a good chunk of the forrest in ice, a blast directed at the magician.
"My apologies! All I do is decieve and run away, but that's what I'm good for!" The man laughed loudly. "Like I'd really want to fight some hero cadets, right? First strike team! The target has been successfully collected! This concludes our mission, as planned you have five minutes to rendevous at the collection point!"
"NOOOO!" Izuku screamed out, and shot up into the air over the ice. She was glaring at the man as he escaped, and she followed after him, leaping off the ice to catch up. She could hear the others behind her, but she didn't care, she had to catch up and save Katsuki... She had to save him...! She shot across the tree's behind the man who moved swiftly in front of her. She ground her teeth in anger, before she used One for All in her legs, and took off with a loud boom from a tree. She shot at him like a bullet out of a gun, and came crashing down on the man's back with a bone crushing force, tears in her eyes as she did. She looked up in front of her, seeing a group of villains, one had patches of his body covered in burn scars, one was a man who wore a full suit in red and black and the boy who had run away from his battle with Uraraka back on the path... She was in shit now...
"THIS BRAT! I KNOW HER! WHO IS SHE?!" The man in the full body suit shouted as he pointed at her.
"Mister, dodge..." the man with black hair and burn scars said with a grunt, before he held out his hand in Izuku's direction. Hey eyes widened in horror as he shot out black flames directed towards her, and she dipped out of the way, her arm getting burnt in the process as she moved.
"IZUKU!" She heard a cry from the sky as Todoroki and Shouji crashed onto the ground beside her, and Todoroki brought his ice up to stop the man in the body suit from attacking.
"SHIT!" Izuku cried out as she spilled out on the ground, before the high school boy with the strange mask came running at her. She moved out of the way of the needle he threw at her, before he attacked with a knife, landing on top of her.
"HI!" He had bright happy smile on his face and a blush to his cheeks. "I'm Toga, my dear Izuku!" Izuku froze in horror as she looked up at him while he smiled down at her with a knife in his hand. "I was just thinking about this, but I think you'd look so much cuter if you were bleeding a little more, my dear Izuku!"
"GET OFF OF ME!" Izuku shouted out, slamming her fist into the boys stomach to knock him off, and Shouji grabbed the boy and flung him elsewhere. She had no idea what that was about, but he had given her the creeps! She turned her head to look towards the magician, as she scrambled to her feet so she could get to him and pound him for her friend and boyfriend back.
"Wow, to think she'd come flying after me like that, what a marvellous idea!" The magician said as he got up, and Izuku flipped up to her feet in a snap.
"Bakugo...?" The guy with black hair and scars asked.
"Of course," The man said as he dug into his pocket.
"BOTH OF YOU RUN!" Shouji shouted out as he held up his hand. "You're actions just now made it clear, I don't know what your quirk is, but those things you flaunted earlier... In your right pocket... These are Tokoyami and Bakugo, right?" Shouji showed the marbles he held in his hand.
"Sh-shouji!" Izuku cried out, tears in her eyes. She hadn't seen him grab into the man's pocket.
"Hohoho, in such a flash, huh?" The man laughed "Well done six arms!"
"ARIGHT, HE'S DONE IT!" Todoroki made for a dash towards Izuku and Shouji, before a black mist appeared in front of them. Izuku looked up at it, and paled.
"A warp..." she shuddered in fear as she looked up at the villain.
"It's been five minutes! Time to go, Dabi!" The magician laughed as the villains made their escape into smaller portals.
"But our objective..." Dabi sighed out.
"Aaah... That was... They just seemed so happy, especially the girl." He pointed at her now, and she looked at him in anger. "Chasing after me, I wanted to give them a present... It's a bad habit. One of the fundamentals of magic is that you flaunt things... Only when you have others to hide." The man pulled his mask off of his face, and stuck out his tongue to show two marbles in his mouth.
"Ka...?" Izuku started, before the marbles Shouji had exploded in ice. "No..." she felt herself shake with fear as she looked over at the enemy.
"During the freezing attack I prepared some dummies." the man laughed, placing his mask back on his face. "You ran after me so happily when you saw me put them in my pocket!"
"YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" Izuku shouted out in anger, making a run towards him as he got in the portal. "GET BACK HERE!"
"Until next time m-" the man was cut off as a laser hit him in the face from the bushes, and Izuku saw the marbles fall out of his mouth. She launched herself through the air, and reached out for them in desperation with both hands. She grabbed on, and went to grab the other, before a hand came out of the portal and grabbed it from her. She looked up with angry eyes, glaring at the man who had the black fire quirk.
"How sad..." the man said with a scoff as he looked at her. "Midoriya Izuku..." She didn't see his other hand come out to grab at her by the shirt and yank her to a stop. "Confirmed, release it." He said to the magician, and all of a sudden Katsuki was there in full form, staring at her in horror as Tokoyami popped out of her other hand behind her. The man had his hand around his neck.
"KACCHAN!" She cried out, reached out to grab him, but she felt a heat on her chest, and she was blasted full on by the man with the dark fire quirk, sending her falling back, her face burning and her whole chest in flames. "NOOOO!" She cried out, as Katsuki was pulled away into the warp.
"Stay back..." He said, his eyes wide as he looked at her burning as she fell back to the ground, before the warp disappeared.
He was gone...
The warp was gone...
The villains were gone...
Katsuki...
Katsuki was gone...
"Wuh..." Izuku felt her tears in her eyes burn as she stared a the spot where his eyes were a second ago. He was right there... She just needed to reach out and grab him... She had to pull him back... Where did her Katsuki go...? Where did her Kacchan go...?
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" She screamed out in horror and agony as she got up, before falling back down to her knee's, tears falling from her eyes as she slammed her fists on the ground in anguish, shattering the earth under her with One for all as her tears poured out of her eyes onto the dirt. She screamed and cried in pain and anger, he was right there! HE WAS RIGHT THERE!
"KACCHAAAAAAAAAAAN!" She cried out into the ground and punched it over and over again, her hands bleeding now. She pushed herself up, turning to look for another warp, she needed to find him, she needed to go to him... where was he? Where was he?!
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA YOU IDIOT!" She cried out one last time in horror, before crumpling to the ground. She sobbed into the dirt as the others went to her side, but they could only look on as she cried on the ground, smashing it over and over again, her fingers starting to break from the force. Uraraka and Asui came out of the woods to see Izuku in despair on the ground before them, and even Uraraka didn't know what to do. Izuku had just seen her boyfriend... her love... disappear in front of her, taken from her grasp. She was burnt all over from the man with those horrible flames, and yet she could only think of Him...
Defeat...
It was utter...
And complete...
Defeat...
