(Deku's P.O.V.)

"Are you sure that's going to help?" Shoto asks unsure as Tomiko holds up Emma's scarf as the wind blows and he deeply inhales.

"Never question the bond between a girl…" Tomiko then wraps the scarf around his neck as he stands on the edge of the hospital roof "… And her weasel"

"Just face it, she's a goner. The hour's almost up. It'll be a waste of time to-" Bakugou stops himself as he sees Tani's eyes water up with tears and everyone else glaring at him "… I'll shut up now"

"Um, don't you think that standing on the edge is a bit dangerous?" I ask a little uneasy as Tomiko closes his eyes in concentration.

"Have faith… Trust me… She will not perish…" he says softly as he takes another step close to the edge "She's fought worse wars than this…"

"Wait, what do you- Ahhhh! Tomiko!" Uraraka screams as Tomiko took a big step and falls off the roof.

"I told you that weasel was suicidal!" Denki exclaims as we all rush to the edge.

We see his body getting smaller by the minute, but then… Out of nowhere, he sprouts some sort of wings and flies to a certain direction.

"We have to go after him!" I shout as we all start running down the stairs, but many of us use our quirks to get down there faster.

After what felt like hours, we finally catch up with him as he seems super focused and that's where I realize it… His shifting ability… It's his Quirk… He turns into a weasel for hard to reach or tightly squeezed areas, then a bird and then a skunk to scare the citizens that were trying to grab him.

"Something's not right… Everyone!" he suddenly shouts and faces to look at me and then the rest of us "I need you and the others to evacuate the civilians from an upcoming motorcycle! I'll tell you when!" He still floats in the form of a bat.

Before any of us could react, a motorcycle was speeding up in our direction, but it seemed as if the rider was having trouble controlling it. The brake calipers appeared to be damaged as the rider avoids hitting anyone or anything.

"Izuku, I need you to use your Quirk to destroy the bike before it hurts anyone, do you understand?" he commands in a serious tone.

"But what if I hurt the rider?" I ask concerned.

Before anyone can react, a part of a building explodes as the rider finally somehow halts the motorcycle and looks up to see what caused the explosion. We all turn our heads to see what they're seeing and are shocked to see a villain holding a child hostage.

"HELP! HELP ME!" The little boy shouts as he struggles against the villain's grasp.

"TAKE ONE STEP AND THIS KID IS DEAD! DO YOU HEAR ME?!" he shouts as we also notice that his quirk has something to do with chains and that there are other children chained up together as they also struggle.

"Release the children and we could talk about this, they are innocent-" the negotiator with a megaphone says as he tries to defuse the situation, but he gets cut off.

"Innocent?! This child is the sole reason why I'm doing this!" The Pro Heroes come to the scene and try to get near him, but he holds the child out as if threatening to drop him "My chains will become bigger the minute I make them… It will either squeeze him or gravity can kill him"

Tomiko runs up to the Cyclist, who I noticed is wearing some sort of tattered dress with leggings underneath, as they rip off the helmet and my eyes widen to see that it's Emma.

"She's Alive!" Mina shouts happily as Emma whispers something in Tomiko's ear as he nods and hops on her shoulder.

"What are they doing?!" Kirishimina exclaims as she slowly floats up as she basically glides against the wall so she wouldn't be spotted.

The heroes see this and make sure that he doesn't notice by grabbing his attention, some of them not looking happy that she's there.

"I think…" I begin as she enters the room where the other kids are held hostage as she quietly shushes them "… She's going to save them"

(Emma's P.O.V.)

"Shhh, we're going to get you out, but don't make a sound…" I whispered as I use my Quirk to pull the chains apart for each child as Tomiko searches for a way out.

"Psst! There's a hole over here, I just grabbed a Hero's attention and they're going to get the kids to safety" He whispers as Kamui Woods takes one of the kids in one of his branches, which he has made into some sort of nest-like structure to hold all the kids.

While rushing the kids to go one at a time, I see Tomiko keeping watch as his ears shift rapidly. He freezes as he sees one of them hiding under debris and he runs to get her. Turning into a puppy to comfort her, she blindly follows him to safety.

CLANG!

I jolt up straight as I turned and see that she had kicked the chain by mistake, which grabs the attention of the Villain. The little girl looks ashamed that she caught his attention that she froze in place. Without thinking, I snatch her up and run to the hero as he safely takes her from my arms. Seeing that he was going to want me to join them, I used my Quirk to cover the hole so that the Villain wouldn't have enough time to react.

"What?!" he sees that the other children had made it out safely "No! You little brat! You ruined everything!" he sends his chains after me, but I make a pushing motion with both hands and keep them at bay.

"You coward! They're children! How dare you use them as a pawn for your selfish reasons!" I use my right hand to make a pulling motion and yank him in.

"What the?!" he shouts as the boy closes his eyes in fear.

"It wasn't so hard to figure out how your quirk works… You can't control the chains when out of sight, which is how I was able to free the others. That boy was your real target…" I say angrily as I take a few steps forward.

"Take one more step and he dies!" he exclaims and I stop briefly as I see Tomiko hide in the wreckage.

"What did that kid do to you? This seems to be an awful lot of effort and I'm pretty sure that you don't have an end game-"

"This… Child. Ruined my life!" he shakes the poor kid.

"How?! He's just a kid!" I shouted as I used my Quirk to slightly levitate me off the ground without him noticing.

"He got me fired from his Fathers company! I used to be important! I made everything successful! But because I told him not to touch this project I was working so damn hard for, he disobeyed and ruined it!" he screams enraged.

"I-It was an accident, I-I didn't mean to-" the boy explained, only for the man to hold him out to backhand slap him hard.

The minute he did that… Something in me… Snapped. Suddenly, everything around me began to shake and broken items actually began to float around me. I hadn't notice yet, but my nose had begun to bleed to the point it soaked the front part of the dress a bit.

"Hey kid…" I say with a smile as the teary eyed boy looks at me confused "… What's your favorite animal?"

"W-What?" he hesitated to answer as the Villain glares at me, but just as confused with my question.

"It's going to be okay… Okay?" I say softly "I'll ask again… What's your favorite animal?" Tomiko listens closely as the boy sniffles from the pain as a red mark forms on the cheek where the bastard hit him.

"I… I… I like snakes" he says quietly, but it was enough to hear.

"Really? Wow, I like snakes too" I say with a soft cheeriness to help him calm down, which seems to work for a bit.

"What the hell is going on here? What is this?!" the Villain demands angrily as he shakes the frightened boy.

"But you wanna know which snake is my favorite?" I asked while ignoring the Villain and the kid nods "Let's see if you know… Which snake is known to be the largest snake in the world?"

"Anaconda!" he exclaims excitedly and I happily clap for him.

"Yes! That's my favorite snake! Wanna see one?" I ask as Tomiko nods and stands behind the Villain in the ready position.

"Enough! You're a girl! How the hell do you like snakes?! Even I don't like them!" he spats out angrily as Tomiko starts shifting and growing bigger.

"But kid, have you ever heard of a… Titanoboa?" I say calmly as the Heroes back away from shock of what Tomiko was becoming. He even had to slither his lower half out from the building so he can continue growing in size.

"It's a prehistoric snake! But they've gone extinct…" the Kid explains.

"How about this mister…" I look at the Villain in disgust "… Hand over the kid safely to either the Authorities, The Heroes or… Me?"

"And what if I don't?" he says sarcastically as Tomiko inched closer behind him.

"Kid, listen very carefully to what I'm about to say… When he drops you, run to me, okay?" I instruct and he nods.

"And how would I drop-" I cut him off.

"Oh and one more favor…" I smile at the kid "… Close your eyes until I tell you to open them, okay?"

"What?" the Villain asked more confused as the boy tightly closes his eyes as Tomiko's shadow darkens the room. He slowly turns around and Tomiko hisses with his mouth wide open as the Villain drops the kid along with chains that had him tied up.

"Open your eyes and run!" I shout as I open my arms wide as he sprints and jumps into my arms.

"M-Monster!" The Villain shouts as he uses his Quirk to make the chains bigger and heavier. But to his obvious fear, he couldn't control it well.

Before I can exit to where I helped the kids escape, I slipped and fell on my back as the building shift to the other side. Tomiko uses his snake body to hold up the building as the Villain falls out, caught, restrained and is quickly arrested.

"Hold on!" I hug him tightly as I use my Quirk to get us down, but in the last minute, I fall and roll onto the ground so he wouldn't get hurt "Are you okay?"

"Look out!" I hear someone shout, I look up and see a massive part of the building falling above us. Instead of running, the boy hugs me tighter and I quickly stood up.

"Agh!" I stop it on time using my Quirk with my arms shot straight up as if holding it up though it's a few inches away from me "Run kid… It's too dangerous for you to be here…"

"No…" he hugs tighter "I don't want you to die"

"First off: Not helping. Second: Hah, I should've been dead ages ago. This is nothing…" I say as I struggle to keep it up "… I've been through worse…"

"Kid! Get out of there now! The building is collapsing! You'll be crushed!" I hear one of them Heroes shout.

"Listen to them kid… I don't want you getting hurt…" I feel blood flowing out my nose as tears stream down my cheek as I feel my arms about to give out.

"No! Not unless you come with me!" he begs as he pulls my arms weakly.

"Kid… You're something else, you know that? But listen to me… I need to help the Heroes and… I need the Heroes to help me with this and I know they will, but you gotta trust me and go with them… Okay?" I continue to struggle as I taste blood as the civilians get helped by the Heroes of where I was holding the building that could've crushed them.

"But you're hurt…" he tugs on my arm as if to make me follow him "… Your eye looks injured too" my eyes widen when he said that.

"You're not afraid of it?" I asked softly and he looks surprised.

"No, why should I?" he asked confused as tears stream down my cheek more as I briefly look at him.

"This injury happened years ago…" I looked away momentarily as I see my arms shaking and my knees give out one at a time "I won't be able to hold on much longer… Please… Run…"

"Emma! Just hold on! You're the only remaining people in this area!" I hear a familiar voice and turn to see Deku in his what I guess is his Hero suit running my direction. I look at the kid, then back at Deku and the debris above me.

"Deku…" I say calmly and he stops for a moment "… Catch…"

"What?" he asks confused as I use my right hand to use my Quirk to push the boy into Deku arm's and out of the danger.

"Noooo! Miss! I don't want you to die!" I hear the little boy scream as he thrashes against Deku as he looks at me and seems to hesitate.

"But-" he starts, but a small piece of the debris falls in front of them forcing him to take a step back.

"Go!" I shout as my arm that used to push the kid with my quirk goes limp. He then turns and runs as the kid keeps trying to get out his grasp.

(No One's P.O.V.)

Maybe… This is the one good thing I could do in my life to help someone… I hope he gets a better life than mine Emma says herself as her remaining strength weakens and she closes her eyes… Appearing to have accepted her fate.

Aizawa uses his scarf to grab and pull her out of there quickly as the building finally comes crashing down. He pulls her to safety as the EMT's gently place her on a stretcher and he stays close by as the whole class rush by her side as well.

"Emma! You're okay!"

"That was insane!"

"That was awesome! You totally saved those kids and the citizens!"

As the students continue ranting on… Aizawa's mind flashes back when his best friend, Shirakumo, did something similar. For a moment, he didn't see Emma in the stretcher, but his best friend giving him a thumbs up. Once he blinks, he just sees a bloodied Emma looking weak and exhausted.

"I-Is the kid okay?" he hears her ask weakly as the EMT's place an oxygen mask on her.

"Here he is…" Izuku comes closer still holding the child "… Thanks to you, he's okay. A few cuts and bruises, but overall good…"

"Good…" She weakly smiles and looks at the boy "Kid… One more favor?"

"Yes?" the little kid answers looking a little worried.

"Don't ever do that again, especially in a dangerous situation like that and… Continue being a good kid, stay in school and don't do drugs" she says with a smile. He nods his head as he reaches and holds her hand.

"I promise…" he tears up.

"Good…" she says and passes out as the ambulance takes her to the hospital, while Aizawa stays by her side.

Maybe… This is the one good thing I could do in my life to help someone… I hope this makes up for not being to save you that time… She may not have a good attitude, but the way I see it… She would make a great hero one day… My dear friend… If this was your way of giving me a second chance to mend my mistake… Thank you… Aizawa couldn't help, but smile proudly at her.

(Meanwhile: Location 1)

In a spacious room, a young man is fencing with a peer as onlookers watch in awe with such skill. One can clearly see that he was no match for anyone as he quickly defeats his challenger.

"Breaking News! A U.A. student has saved the day by saving a room full of children, one of them being a main target, from a Villain who sought to harm them. Sources tell me that she was covered with scars on her arm-" the boy freezes and looks at the television.

"Put up the volume!" He demands as the other student does as he's told and everyone backs away as to give him space.

"- Here's an earlier footage of when the building began to collapse" the news reporter finishes as a clip shows how Emma saved the boy and the heart stopping moment in which she was able to catch the building in time. The young man removes his fencing mask as his soft golden slick hair shines in the sun and his eyes widen in disbelief.

"Young Master, isn't she the girl who-" the butler is cut off.

"Get father's jet ready, inform him that I will spending time in Japan and won't be arriving back to England until further notice" the young man explains as he walks off in a haste.

"But Young Master-" he is ignored as the young man slams the door.

(Meanwhile: Location 2)

"Your Majesty, please we beg of you! You must choose a maiden of whom you choose to wed…" A woman follows a young man whose blond soft and long hair shines in the sunlight as he wears royal clothing.

"Nana, please understand! There's no one who can compare like the maiden that I met those years ago… She was perfect and all I have is this to remember her…" the young prince takes out a drawing of a young girl of his dreams.

"But it's been years! We've search all over. I'm sorry little lad, but maybe it's best to move on-" she explains trying to comfort him as he looks like he's about to cry.

"Your Majesty! We have found her!" both the prince and his nana jolt in surprise.

"You have?! Where?" the Prince demands impatiently as he walks up to his butler.

"She's in Japan…" shows his laptop "… You see? She even bears the mark in her eye and the scars you adored on her skin"

"It is her…" He takes the laptop from his butler and gently touches the screen as if stroking her cheek "…We must go to Japan at once. Oh nana! Isn't this wonderful!"

"Oh Japan! I haven't been there since I was a wee lass. Come on Young Prince! We have so much to do!" she laughs happily.

(Meanwhile: Location 3)

"Remember: you've been given a second chance, don't screw this up. You'll be placed in U.A. High, where you'll start in the basics and overall be a student…" a parole officer aka social worker says to a tall, slightly tanned and strong man with dark brown hair.

"Yes ma'am. I won't let you down" he says as they reach an apartment.

"That's what I like to hear. Before they accept you into a dorm, you'll stay here until then. Yes, it's all paid for. Don't let me down kiddo. Oh and… Good luck" she says as he steps out from the car and smiles.

"Thanks… I'm going to need it…" he says and waves as she drives away. He enters the house and sets his things down as he throws away things he longer needed from a Juvie. His new phone pings for a News Breaking notification and sees a familiar face and his eyes widen, but then smiles gently.

"I knew you had it in you to be a hero…"

(Meanwhile… L.O.V.'s Hideout)

"What an interesting young lady… Her Quirk is truly one of a kind. Perhaps this girl could be a good use to us than those so-called Heroes" Mr. Compress says as the others watch on.

"With this kind of Quirk… Just imagine all the destruction we can do" Toga giggles as Tomura Shigaraki looks on with deep interest, but also a familiarity that he can't quite remember.

"Indeed… Keep close tabs on her and report to me of anything useful. I have a feeling that she might be in the class with those troublesome students" he says as Dabi quietly exits the room with eyes slightly wide.

"Little Tiny… You were still alive?" he says under his breath in utter shock and disbelief.


As you can see… I tried making it longer. Don't worry, the next chapter will reveal how Emma was able to escape. So sorry for the delay, life was a bit complicated. I would like to thank all the new people who has read, added me to their Favorites, Followed my story and showing so much support. Thank you so much! Have a nice day!
