And Here's Chapter 20 of Death and Beyond!
Anyway no major announcements
so anyway enjoy!
Tomoko Shiretoko, a.k.a. Ragdoll. Only wanted to be a hero, to help people. Her Quirk Search allows her to read people, making her pretty much perfect to be a psychologist. Her friends managed to convinced her to form a team of heroes and as the years passed, they made it to top hero teams. And they were quite successful.
When news hit her that a couple of students will be under their care, they were excited and nervous, but nonetheless grateful.
When the students came, she knew that there are a lot of problems within them. Like the green haired kid, she knew that he has confidence issues, he was shy, intelligent and strong, but confidence was not his strong suit. But there was one kid, that intrigued her. A gray haired kid, named Tomomi Tatsuma. She can't put a finger on it, but he seems to be…older. He was like a wise old man, inside a kid. This caught her interest, but that was not all, this kid seems to be…like holding on to something, something special and he can't seem to let go. This seems to be the only problem she saw.
It was now the third day and later that night was the test of courage, well that was the plan. But the League of Villains seems to interrupt this. She used her Quirk, to locate the students and her teammates/friends. Helping the students to safety, while also checking the location of some of the villains to avoid. She was about to head to the other students, when suddenly out of nowhere a Gigantic thing came from the trees and headed towards her.
The sudden appearance of the beast made her frozen for a couple of seconds but that was enough for the monster to launch an attack. She closed her eyes expecting the worst. And with a boom, she knew it hit something, but she was fine.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw what was in front of her.
Present Time
Third Person P.O.V.
The Nomu's arm was outstretch, but it didn't hit Ragdoll. No, it hit Tomomi, who has his arms crossed covered with rocks and a hint of dirt, with fire dancing around him but more to his arms than anything else.
'Damn, that was close.' When he reached ragdoll, he only saw her frozen in place and the Nomu who has his fist reared back. Wasting no time, he sent a gust of air to launch him towards them and controlling both Earth and Fire he blocked the attack, but with of course it had consequences. With him using both of quirks in as sudden way he didn't gauge the strength behind it, making him more tired the he ever was and it doesn't help that he was tired before when he put out the fire, not only that the attack was too powerful for him and his arms hurt like hell!
Stomping his foot to the ground he made a wall between the Nomu and them and pushing it to create some distance.
"Ms. Ragdoll, are you all right?"
"Yes, but you're not." She replied, she knows he was tired and hurt. They need to get out of here.
'Crap, of course she knows. This thing is stronger than what I fought back at the USJ.'
They were interrupted, by a buzz.
The earth wall was split, buy a chainsaw cutting it.
"Shit, RUN!" grabbing Ragdoll's hand they run in a direction, hopefully the Nomu won't follow them.
*ROAR!* Unfortunately for them, the Nomu followed them with chainsaws coming out of his back with arms holding them.
'Dammit! What is he?!' Tomomi shouted in his mind while they ran.
"Tatsuma-san, if we continue running in this direction we will just lead him to some of your classmates!" Ragdoll informed using her Quirk to find a safer place for them to hide.
"Damnit, is there a direction where some people aren't there?" He said trying to ignore the frightening roar the beast keeps making. He dealt with killing intent lots of times, he's worried that some of the students may not make it, making it an easy kill.
"No, the students are everywhere. The safest place is actually behind us."
'Tsk, meaning running more will be bad.' Turning around he sent a large pillar towards the Nomu halting it for a few seconds. "Go."
"What?"
"I'll hold him off, get them to a safe place." He said coating himself with lightning he charged.
"Wait no!"
Tomomi didn't listen and continue to charge towards the beast. It broke the pillar by smashing it, and it swing its Saw to Tomomi he barely dodged it, cutting a small part of his hair.
Hear and fear
He reared his hand back and thrust his fist.
OF MY THUNDER CLAP!
A huge lightning came, making a large light blinding Ragdoll for a second until thunder came, almost deafening.
The light went out, and she saw Tomomi standing alone the right part of his shirt was destroyed, his right arm has black lines on it pretty much bruised thanks to lightning he used.
Tomomi was not feeling well, he couldn't feel his right arm. He was dizzy, tired even. He could pass out any moment now.
Ragdoll, saw his condition and went to him. Only to be stopped by a giant hand grabbing Tomomi's head and slamming it to the ground.
"GAH!" Tomomi shouted in pain. He saw the origins of the hand it being mint green made him widen his eyes. 'Fucking Dammit.'
The Nomu was still alive, but to say that it held no injuries would be a mistake. The only that was left of the Nomu was its left side. Part of the chest was also missing. But then it started twitching and to their horror the limbs and body parts was regenerated to its full glory.
'Fuck. I guess this is it.' It sprouted another chainsaw and it slowly went to Tomomi's chest, but was stopped when something hit his neck. Looking to its right he saw Ragdoll charging at him. It saw this and swiped one of its arms to her, she dodged it kicking his face.
The monster didn't budge and only grabbed her, then slamming her to the ground.
"Aaah!" she shouted in pain.
One of the chainsaws went to her, preparing to kill her.
"This is Mandalay!" The voice of the pro hero Mandalay came to both of them. "By the pro hero EraserHead I now authorize all of you for combat!"
The chainsaw cut short to Ragdoll's chest, when it suddenly hit by a pillar of dirt making it miss.
The Nomu growled then looked at his hand feeling it a bit warmer than usual.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER!" a hand shot out of his hand went towards its head. Tomomi's eyes is seen between the Nomu's hands. "Regenerate this." And sent a combination of Fire, Lightning and Earth to the Nomu's head, more specifically its brain.
A burst of flame with blue lightning was shot out, destroying the brain in the process. The beast slumped forwards not moving.
Tomomi and Ragdoll just lay there, tired and beaten.
Tomomi sat up, but only lay back down when pain shot from his ribs. He didn't know if it was broken or not. But it was painful nonetheless.
"Are you ok?"
"Yes, come on we need to go." Standing up ignoring the pain.
"The lodge is that wa-."
"We have identified one of the enemy's target." Mandalay came again. And they listened. Finally some information. "The target is named Koshiro Nai, so Nai-san if you can hear me go to the lodge right now for safety."
'Their target is Shiro?' Tomomi stomped his foot to activate his Earth Sonar, but only to get a headache.
"Hey, are you all right?" Ragdoll said tending to Tomomi, she had some bruise on her back, but she didn't worry about that and focused on the boy in front of her.
"I'm fine, but can you use your Quirk, to find Shiro. He has white hair, very tall and have shadow powers." He asked, he's in no condition to fight. But he needs to move now, or Shiro might get captured.
"I can but why? You're not going after them are you?" Tomomi's silence confirmed her suspicions. "No, you're injured and unable to fight."
"Sorry, but I'm not going to stand and have my friend taken away from me."
They stared at each other, Ragdoll knows she can't change his mind, she already used her Quirk on him and saw that he will go, with or without her help.
"Fine, but you're not fighting and I'm coming with you." He nodded. He looked at the Nomu who was still not moving. Ragdoll followed his gaze "Don't worry, we'll capture him and send him to the police with the other one."
"How about no."
She stared at him confused. "What, why?"
"I have a plan if you listen."
A couple of minutes later
With Todoroki and Bakugou
"Damn this asshole." Right now both of them were holding of Moonfish who relentlessly was attacking them with his Quirk. Todoroki keeps sending ice to cover them from the attacks and Bakugou was blowing up anything that comes close, with the gas behind them they had nowhere to run.
"Meat." Moonfish said who was upside down. "Give me your meat!" launching another attack at them.
"Todoroki!"
"Got it!" He sent a wave of ice to the direction of the teeth. Completely blocking the attack.
They were interrupted by a sound of bushes beside them.
'Another enemy?!'
But to their relief it was only Shoji and Izuku.
"Deku!?"
"Midoriya, what ar-."
"Todoroki! Bakugou! Help!" what came behind them was a big surprise, it was Dark Shadow still very big and with red eyes causing havoc to his surroundings in front of him was Shiro who was using all his might and tendrils to slow down Tokoyami and his damages to the area. He looked at the explosive-user and Fire-and-Ice user.
"A little light would be appreciated!" He couldn't keep it anymore and released his tendrils, fortunately Dark shadow's attention was towards Moonfish, sadly for him.
"I'm the one who will get their flesh!" Unfortunately for him though, Dark shadow only grabbed him and sent him to a few trees and tossing him in the air. Knocking him out.
"I still didn't have my fill!" Todoroki and Bakougou created some light with their Quirks, Bakugou with his explosions and Todoroki with his fire.
"You all right?" Todoroki asked. 'We have been holding him off for a while, but he took him out in an instant.'
"Hey, bird-face. Can you stand."
"Yes, thanks you two." Tokoyami who was now back to normal said, while panting.
"Anyway, the enemy's target is Nai-san. We have to get back to the lodge as soon as possible." Izuku explained, Tokoyami being too occupied with Dark shadow couldn't actually hear the announcement.
It was now a couple of minutes later and they finally found Ochaco and Tsuyu, with a blonde girl.
"Ochaco!" Izuku yelled, gaining her attention, in doing so she was distracted enough so that the villain below her slipped from her grasp. She glanced at them and stared at Izuku for a second, before finally running.
"Wait no! we need to get back to the lodge!" Izuku said. Stopping both Tsuyu and Ochaco from giving chase.
"We need to get Shiro to the lodge."
"Ok, fine ribbit. We need to find him first though." Tsuyu said, confusing them.
"What are you talking about? He's right-." They looked behind them to see that he was gone. Not only him but Tokoyami and Bakougou was gone too.
"What?"
"I have them, sorry but with us their talents will not be wasted on Heroes." Came a voice, they looked up and saw a man in a suit with a mask. "I used my magic."
"GIVE THEM BACK!" Izuku yelled trying to get his body to respond.
"Give them back? No." he then jumped avoiding a wave of ice.
"Tsk, I missed." Todoroki cursed. Activating his fire and sent towards him, while he was in the air. Unfortunately, he only twisted his body and barely dodged it.
"Oh my that was close." He pressed his earpiece. "Strike squad, our mission is done, go to the extraction point."
"Mission?"
"Done?"
"LIKE HELL I'M GOING TO LET YOU!" sending another wave of ice at him, which he dodged. And used it to propel him to the trees using it to reach his destination.
The students gave chase, intent on saving their friends. Sadly they were too slow and the villain was getting away.
"No, I will save them!" Izuku said, looking at Ochaco "Uraraka! Make us float! Tsuyu throw us at him with everything you got! Shoji use your arms to help us with your trajectory!" he ordered the said people nodded.
"Are you sure you can even walk Midoriya?"
"Yes ribbit, that seems to a lot of pain."
"Right now, I don't know what pain is."
They grew concern faces, but right now was not the time. Tsuyu launched the three of them. They were now soaring towards him. The villain was surprised at this.
At the rendezvous
"Hey, where's Mr. Compress?" Asked Toga who had a huge smile on her face.
"Nowhere." Then something was slammed to the ground with enough force that it cracked the ground itself.
"Oh there he is." Said a guy with a black and white full-body suit.
"Mr." said a guy who has purple colored skin and deeply wrinkled. "Dodge."
"Roger."
Then a large stream of blue fire came towards them, Todoroki managed to dodge, but Izuku and Shoji was not so lucky.
"Hello my dear Izuku, I'm Toga." Said a blonde haired girl holding a knife, but she was knocked off by Shoji.
"My, my you lot was quite aggrieve. Launching yourself at me."
"Whatever." Dabi said "Bakugou?" Mr. Compress reached into his pocket.
"You two run!" Shoji looked at Compress "It was only a split second but your actions confirmed it." He showed three pearls. "The things you were flaunting at us earlier, was the three of them."
"Oh, wow. Amazing Six-arms! Simply amazing!" Compress clapped.
"You piece of-."
"Hold on Dabi."
A giant purple mist came in front of them. And a couple more was in the area, making their escape.
"I'm sorry you people was just so desperate to get them back that I couldn't help, but pull a trump card." He held his mask in one hand. "Here's a tip, when an entertainer is flaunting." He removes his mask, and opened his mouth showing his tongue, on his tongue to shock to the students was three pearls "It means he has something to hide." He smirked and retreated back to the portal. "Farewell chi-GAH!" He was interrupted by a laser hitting him in the face. In the bushes there stood Aoyama, his navel laser smoking indicating that he was the one that shoot the laser.
Not wasting time Shoji, Todoroki, Izuku charged towards the pearls Compress spat out when he was hit by the laser. Unfortunately Izuku was way too injured and he collapsed. Todoroki managed to grab one, Shoji was quick enough to grab one, he used one of his arms to grab the last one but.
*grab* he was too late a purple skinned hand was the one that grabbed the last pearl. "Compress release it."
"Too bad the laser, ruined my show. Oh well we have our mission." A hand snapped his fingers and the one in Todoroki's hand transformed into Tokoyami and the one in Shoji transformed into Bakugou, and the one on Dabi transformed into Shiro.
Dabi smirked "Too bad Shoto Tod-." He was interrupted by a foot landing on his face. Following the foot it's seen that Tomomi who was covered in fire.
"SURPRISE BITCH!"
Dabi was sent backwards, the portal closing with him.
"SHIRO!" Izuku yelled, still on the ground and in pain.
"Guys, how did-what happened?" Shiro said, adrenaline seemed to leave him and everything went crashing down.
"We were taken, Shadow-freak. You were there main target of the villains." Bakugou said. Tokoyami nodded.
"Yes, Tatsuma-san managed to save you in the last minute." Tokoyami said glad that everyone was there.
"Yes, thanks Tomomi….where's Tomomi?"
…..Almost everyone…
Shiro said looking around, now everybody was alarmed trying to see any sign of their friend. With no such luck, they remembered him kicking Dabi in the face, making him go to the portal.
"Don't tell me…"
"That bastard…"
Izuku just stared at the location of the portal, where their friend was last seen.
Nothing.
Tomomi was nowhere. With the portal closed he was taken with them.
"AAAAAAHHHH!" The screams of Izuku echoed on the night. As he was frustrated to have one of his friends gone, he failed. He failed to save him.
Tomomi was gone. And they had no way of knowing where he was.
