It wasn't supposed to be like this.

Izuku had agreed to accompany Ochako on a patrol for her internship with Ryuko Since Tsuyu and Nejire were both sick. On this patrol they witnessed a mugging in progress. They chased the perpetrator into an alleyway where Toga and Spinner from the league of villains were waiting. The Whole thing was an ambush to lure the two away from Ryuko and strike. Ochako was fending off the reptilian Stain fanatic further down in the alley while Izuku was fighting off Toga.

"Hold still Izuku" Toga Said in a sing song voice.

This was a stark contrast to the frantic knife swings she was doing, attempting to slice Izuku to bits.

"I can't let her get me..." he thought "She's fast, too fast...I need to restrain her."

Izuku barely dodged a knife swing thanks to his full cowling and scanned the area for something he could use to capture Toga.

"Trash can... fire escape... knives... broom- KNIVES!?"

Toga had drawn a handful of throwing knives and held them up to her face, sniffing them as though they were a fresh bouquet of flowers.

"Cold steel has such a wonderful smell, Izuku..."

A grin formed on her face.

"See for yourself."

She threw the knives, sending a scattershot of blades his way.

"Crap!"

Izuku grabbed the lid of a nearby trash can and used it in conjunction with full cowling's enhanced speed to dodge and block most of the knives. One had pierced his left arm however, drawing blood.

"Not good... she got my arm..."

Izuku threw the trash can lid at Toga, only for her to easily dodge it.

"Could I have that knife back Izuku?" Toga Asked.

Izuku responded by pulling the knife out of his arm and bending it. Toga puffed out her lips in a pouting face,

"That wasn't very nice."

"I can't draw this out much longer..." Izuku thought "I got one chance."

He held out his hand and readied a finger flick.

"Delaware Smash!"

With a one for all powered flick of his finger, Izuku sent a burst of wind Toga's way knocking her into the brick wall nearby. Izuku dashed in and pinned her to the wall, trying to wrestle away the knife she was holding.

"This isn't how you do a kabudon, but I still like it..."

"You're under arrest Toga, it's over." Said Izuku

Toga frowned.

"But I was just getting started Izu-"

"Deku!"

The two teens turned to see Ochako approaching, dragging an unconscious Spinner with her

"I got him, you take care of Toga?"

"Just about."

To any normal person, this would be the end. Defeated, restrained, and in the process of being disarmed. If it was anyone else in Toga's position, they would have given up. But Toga was not a normal person. She knew exactly how to get out of this. A sickening grin formed on her face.

"Perfect"

She readjusted her knife so that it was pointing at Ochako.

"You don't have to worry about the knife anymore..."

*click*

Her thumb hit a button on the side of the knife, activating a mechanism within the weapon that launched the blade. She was glad she bought that ballistic knife from Giran. It gave her an extra element of surprise and some much needed range. The blade flew right at Ochako and dug deep into her chest, knocking the brunette to the ground as the thick nectar of life oozed from her wound. Midoriya was powerless to do anything as his best friend collapsed onto the ground.

"URARAKA!"

Izuku dashed over to her, completely forgetting about Toga.

Just as she planned.

"Uraraka hang in there!"

Ochako coughed up a mouthful of blood,

"De...ku..."

Toga was good at reading people, she knew very well how Izuku and Ochako felt about each other, even if they did not. She was his weakness and she knew it (she was also kind of jealous about it but that wasn't important). And that weakness would be his undoing,

"Stay with me Ocha- GAH!"

Toga crept up from behind and jammed another knife into Izuku's back.

"No... don't look at her. I want you to look at me with those beautiful green eyes... let me be the last thing you see"

She grabbed his face and held it to look him directly in the eyes. Izuku tried to ignore her to look at Ochako, noticing that the girl had become motionless. Tears streamed down his cheeks now.

"You're better off without her... she made you weak!"

A loud thump startled Toga.

"Hold it right there!"

Toga sighed and turned. Standing at the end of the alley was Ryuko in her dragon form.

"I'll kill you next time Izu Chan."

She pecked him on the cheek and dragged Spinner into the darkness, disappearing.

Ryuku shifted back and rushed over to Izuku's side.

"Is she..."

"I... I don't know..."

Ryuko quickly checked for a pulse.

"She's still got a pulse but it's faint. We can save her but we have to be fast."

She quickly hefted her intern into Izuku's arms.

"I'm not fast, even in my dragon form, but you are." Began Ryuko "Hospital is down the street three blocks, then to the right two blocks."

Izuku nodded.

"Now run because her life depends on it."

In the span of five seconds Izuku Midoriya activated full cowling and leapt away at top speed, rebounding off buildings to avoid any foot traffic. His mind was focused on a single goal of reaching the hospital and saving Ochako.

"Don't worry Ochako... Everything will be okay..."

Unbeknownst to him, Toga hid in the shadows, watching from afar with a look on her face that was both wistful and demented.

"Oh Izuku... I got you all figured out..." she muttered to herself. "That cute girl... she's your weakness."

Picked up the unconscious Spinner and walked away, disappearing even further into the darkness.

"A good hero shouldn't have weaknesses... but don't worry, I'll get rid of yours soon enough."

Hey this is the sad chapter.

Aka I ran out of ideas so here's Ochako almost dying.
