So i got a crazy fuckin guest review from someone who defended Bakugou, said that he was just too "passionate" and that we've all said mean things before

I don't think telling someone to kill themselves is just 'mean', i think its psychotic, and i need you to get therapy

Anyways, here's your chapter. Here's the Discord: /cgFmXz3qJ5

Tokoyami wasn't looking forward to the side event. The night was always a dangerous time for him to be out. Part of him hoped Dark Shadow would be easier to tame under the situation. He'd been training with his quirk in the dark, and the soft company of Shoji would help put him at ease. All he needed to do was focus on nice, deep breaths as he walked.

Tokoyami didn't fear the jumpscares or the ominous backing music set by Manga. This was all dull and repetitive. Thinking outside the box seemed lost on most of the kids. One of the jumpscares was having Setsuna use her quirk to whisper horrible, horrible scary things in their ears…but even that seemed lame.

"I am the ghost of a girl who died in the woods…" Her floating head muttered. Pony had smeared some makeup on it to make it look more ghastly. Shoji and Tokoyami didn't really pay attention to her rambles.

"Uh huh." Shoji said.

"I died because of an earthquake…and I haunt these woods because of my post mortem quirk…ooooooh~" Setsuna said.

"Creative." Tokoyami said. "I enjoy the realism touch."

Setsuna sighed. "Man, you guys are the worst people to send in first. You're like brick walls."

"I don't really react too much." Shoji explained. "Scary movies never did it for me."

"The darkness is my ally." Tokoyami declared, in his typical 'dark and gloom' voice. "I have tamed it. There is nothing to fear."

"Whatever. I'm gonna try this on Tooru and Jirou. I heard they're easy to scare." Setsuna grinned.

"How could you have possibly heard that? They probably just started." Tokoyami said. Setsuna shook her head and flipped her hair up- Setsuna revealed she was missing her ear.

"The ghost hears all." Setsuna smirked.

Tokoyami hummed. "...Out of curiosity, can you use your quirk on your eyes?"

"Huh? Uh…I think." Setsuna said. "Never really tried it."

"If you remove those, I think you could scare more people." Tokoyami suggested. "And add some fake blood to your mouth. And make your hair more unruly. That will scare people."

Setsuna would've smacked her forehead if her hands were nearby. "Dang it! You're so much better at this than me."

"Thank you." Tokoyami said, before he and Shoji turned away. "Good luck on your challenge, Class 1-B."

"Good luck on yours!" Setsuna called out. Man, why does Monoma hate those guys? They're super nice.

"It's pleasant to walk around here at night. Look at that night sky," Shoji said. "It reminds me a little of home."

"I forgot you weren't from the city like many of us." Tokoyami remarked. "You're from Wobani, right?"

Shoji nodded. "And I'm glad to be rid of it."

Tokoyami didn't want to dig any deeper. A man's past should be his choice to tell. If Shoji wished to remain quiet about it, then so be it. The two were mysterious like that.

Deeper and deeper into the woods they went. More half thought out scares littered the path. Tetsutetsu jumping out with Kojiro Bondo on his shoulders, Pony acting like a zombie by crawling on the ground, and Sen trying to act like Jason Vorhees by wearing a hockey mask and spinning his arms…threateningly.

None of it phased them. They'd be the first ones done at this point. But that didn't stop the very determined soul of the class's resident edgelord.

Tokoyami stopped Shoji in front of a blackened branch. "Hold on."

Shoji raised an eyebrow. "Is something the matter?"

"I know what's going to happen next. Kurorio is going to snap the branch, and drop to the ground. He will then proceed to jump out and try to scare us." Tokoyami announced.

Shoji focused on the branch in front of them. "Are you sure?"

"Most definitely. But…I know it won't be this branch." Tokoyami said. "It's too obvious."

"Then, where is-"

"Behind us." Tokoyami said. Shoji turned around to see another dangling branch. The branch grumbled.

"You're too good." The branch spoke, as it fell to the ground. Kurorio popped out of it, and bowed in defeat.

"How on Earth did you know that was going to happen, Tokoyami?" Shoji asked.

"He was the only one that hadn't shown up yet- and this was a particularly dark area." Tokoyami noted. "Seemed justified."

"I've actually been jumping around point to point- I figured that if no one else could spook you, I'd be the one to do so. But, alas…I was wrong." Kurorio sighed. "Congrats, boys. There's none of us left."

"Hm." Tokoyami hummed. "Good. Then we can finish without any problems."

"Agreed." Shoji said, as he and Tokoyami turned to walk away. Kurorio grimaced.

"Tokoyami would jump at an opportunity to scare, but it's like he's rushing through this place…" Kurorio muttered. "Maybe he's just tired from training."

Kurorio was almost on the money with his prediction. While Tokoyami was fatigued, he had to focus on keeping a lock on some emotions. Dark Shadow had a hair trigger temper in the dark, meaning anything could set him off. His biggest worry was that if he got scared, then Dark Shadow would pop out and go on an inhuman rampage. When this was all over, Tokoyami was going to make an excuse to go back to the bunks and lie down.

And remain in light.

The dark path carried on for a while. The tail end of the forest was devoid of any light, save for some moonbeams shining through the openings in the trees. Shoji and Tokoyami weren't entertained.

"Those were some really disappointing scares. The most disappointing one was Shiozaki- saying 'the greatest scare is the lies we burden ourselves with' isn't scary. It's cheap." Shoji sighed.

"There's some truth, but I get what you mean-" Tokoyami paused. Shoji bumped into his back.

"What?" Shoji asked. "What is it this time?"

Tokoyami narrowed his eyes. "Do you hear that?"

Shoji's arms branched off to create some ears. He listened around the area. There was an unfamiliar sound- the sound of teeth grinding or something. Shoji narrowed his eyes.

"Yeah…what the hell is it? Another cheap scare?" Shoji asked.

"I don't know." Tokoyami said. "But stay close." Tokoyami pulled out his phone, and shined it into the dark. Shoji kept on listening as they walked closer and closer to the noise. Shoji was starting to get incredibly unnerved by the noise. The gross, disgusting sounds of someone making noises with their mouth gave him a weird case of goosebumps. He hoped he was hearing an animal or something…

But then his fear spiked when the creature spoke.

"Meat." It muttered.

Shoji's eyes widened. "T-tokoyami." He said, trying to remain calm.

"Yes?" The boy asked.

"...it spoke."

Tokoyami took that in.

"...move faster."

Tokoyami and Shoji started to pick up their pace. It wasn't exactly a run yet, but it was fast enough to catch the attention of whatever they were hearing. The creature- if that what it could best be compared to- jumped down from the ceiling behind them, and began chasing them.

The thing's teeth extended from out of his mouth, and pierced the trees around him for movement. It was a horrific sight, and a hideous beast. Its body was twisted into a shape that looked painful. The creature wouldn't stop chasing them until it had a taste of their yummy, tasty flesh-

BECAUSE HE WAS SO GODDAMN HUNGRY. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THAT CREATURE WAS FED?

Dathomar Hospital Murderer Sentenced to Life In Prison

By Megujo Josugi

The individual known as "Moonfish," convicted of multiple murders at Dathomar hospital, has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

During the sentencing, a statement on behalf of one victim's mother was presented in court. The letter conveyed her sentiments, stating, "In your sick, twisted mind, you probably don't believe you did anything wrong. This time, I hope you suffer as we have."

Despite the police's ironic moniker "Moonfish," the perpetrator was originally the son of an inn proprietor. He later married a local woman and pursued a career as a disposable chopsticks salesman. However, his life took a turn when he learned of his wife's infidelity, prompting him to move to the city. Moonfish was generally perceived as a friendly, soft-spoken, and kind individual who enjoyed a positive reputation among his business associates. Nevertheless, it was known that he occasionally experienced sudden bursts of anger.

Moonfish will also face a separate trial related to a potential death sentence.

And at some point, he escaped.

But the public didn't need to hear that.

And now he was here. Tokoyami and Shoji rushed towards the edge of the forest.

"What the hell is that thing!?" Shoji yelled, forming a bunch of extra arms in case they needed to fight this thing.

"There's no better word for it! He's just a beast!" Tokoyami yelled, dodging a blade. "A very toothy one!"

The twisted Moonfish was advancing fast, and those teeth blades looked like they could pierce metal. Moonfish let out a horrific shriek, and sent out more of his teeth. They were coming right for Tokoyami!

Shoji shoved Tokoyami out of the way- Tokoyami yelled as Shoji was stabbed in the arm. One of his arms was sliced clean off, leaving Shoji with a stump. Moonish hissed with glee, before stabbing one of his teeth into the arm. Blood dripped from the arm, pleasing Moonfish. He reeled it back, and examined his snack.

"Meaaaaat…" He drooled, before skittering away like a cockroach.

"G-goddamn it!" Shoji muttered, clutching the wound. Tokoyami's eyes widened in anger as he saw the sight.

"S-shoji." Tokoyami muttered.

"I-I'm fine. It'll regrow. I'll be good-" Shoji said, clutching where one of his arms used to be. "It's an extra, so-"

"Run." Tokoyami said. Shoji raised an eyebrow.

"That thing skittered away- I think it just wanted a snack-" Shoji explained.

"It's not him you should be…worrying about…" Tokoyami keeled over, clutching his stomach. "I couldn't control…him…"

Shoji gazed in horror as Dark Shadow emerged from Tokoyami's back and began to devour him whole. Dark Shadow began to expand in size, becoming overwhelming and unmanageable. His eyes got very crimson. Dark Shadow did not appear to be a projection of Tokoyami's body, but rather an expression of his fury.

Dark Shadow's power gets better in the dark, but the control is- Shoji was swatted away by the uncontrollable mass of shadows. He slammed into a tree by the thing's massive hands.

"T-tokoyami!" Shoji yelled, as the creature roared- it was trying to chase after Moonfish. It stormed off, as Shoji got back up.

"C-crap…" Shoji muttered. With a villain loose in the camp, he'd surely go after the others. And Tokoyami was on a blind rampage, thanks to his quirk. He needed to reign that in.

In this twin dilemma…what the hell can I do? Shoji thought.

Then he got the message.

"Three villains have invaded the area, and it's possible there are still more in the shadows." Mandalay's voice yelled in his mind. "Those who are capable, head to the facility! If you should come face to face with the enemy, do not engage them in combat! Continue and retreat!"

Shoji clenched his fists. "They don't know about all the villains, then. Mandalay's probably announcing that from the entrance…"

Shoji took a few steps. I can walk just fine. If that's the case… Shoji grit his teeth. Then I'm the only one who can save Tokoyami AND stop that cannibal!

The boy proceeded to race into the forest, into the unknown…

All without a plan.

"Aoyoma?" Momo wandered through the forest, calling out her partner's name. It was so strange- one minute he was here, the next he'd vanished into thin air.

"He didn't get scared off, did he?" Momo wondered. Some of the scares did get him, especially Kurorio popping out. That made him squeal like a little girl. Oh, and so did Yui popping out of the ground. And Manga's creepy backing noises made him shake.

...

Okay, so maybe he did run off.

But why didn't he make a noise? Yuga was so emotive out here. If Class 1-B pulled some nasty prank, he would probably be kicking and screaming to break free. Or use his quirk to get Momo's attention. The silence was stressing her out.

"Aoyoma!" Momo yelled again, but she got no response. Momo sighed. "Maybe he just ran off. It's no big deal, it's no big deal...just stop worrying and explain it to Ragdoll when you reach the end."

Momo walked ahead, noticing that the forest was more quiet than usual. Manga's annoying spooky noises had stopped. Now Momo could just hear the hooting of owls and the ground beneath her feet. She occasionally looked behind her to see if someone was following her. Her biggest worry was that someone would sneak up and scare her- and then she'd make a taser and tase them.

Another reason she needed Yuga. He was sort of a good 'scare sponge'- someone that could scream for her. Now that he was gone, Momo was more paranoid than before. Momo took a deep breath.

"Maybe I can avoid the cheap scares." Momo said. She decided to listen for a few seconds, seeing if she could hear any foreign noises. The sound of rustling in the bushes gave her some comfort. Just a few feet ahead, she could see someone crouching in the bushes.

"Hm." Momo hummed, as she walked forward. As soon as she got close, Awase jumped out of the bushes and yelled.

"YAHHH!" Awase said. Momo stared at him blankly. "Aw, what!? What gave me away!? No fair."

"Sorry, but I just want to get this over with." Momo said. "Good try, though."

"Man, none of you guys are any fun." Awase sighed. "I haven't gotten one good scare- even Jirou and Tooru didn't get scared, and they were screaming at every other corner."

"Well, why aren't you getting creative?" Momo said. "I'm sure your Welding quirk could be useful."

"Nah. Nothing scary about my quirk. I don't really have an intimidation factor. And I also need to make contact." Awase said. "So, yeah. Where's your partner? I kinda wanted to hear how Aoyoma would scream."

"Oh, I think he might've run off. Maybe he knew a scare was around the-"

Attention! Mandalay's voice yelled in her head. Momo paused.

"Mandalay?" She asked, confused.

"Woah, this sounds urgent." Awase said.

Three villains have invaded the area, and it's possible there are still more in the shadows. Mandalay's voice yelled in his mind. Those who are capable, head to the facility! If you should come face to face with the enemy, do not engage them in combat! Continue and retreat!

Momo and Awase shared a look of horror.

"I don't think Aoyoma ran away to the camp," Awase frowned, looking around them. He sniffed the air. "Hey, do you smell that?"

Momo sniffed the air, and looked over down the road. Her eyes widened as she saw a giant purple smoke cloud approaching them. Without a second thought, Momo lifted up her shirt and produced a bunch of gas masks. She tossed one to Awase. "Put this on. NOW!"

Awase nodded, and slipped it on. "Good thinking."

"If the chemicals are dangerous on the skin, I'll gladly make us some hazmat suits."

"How will we know if it's hazardous to the skin?" Awase asked. Momo hummed- then, she heard something running towards them. Momo held out her hand and produced a staff for her to wield, just in case. Momo narrowed her eyes...

While Awase's eyes widened.

"Tetsu!" He yelled, as a metalized Tetsutetsu emerged from the smoke. Setsuna, Pony and Bondo followed close behind, holding their hands over their mouths. Tetsutetsu was holding Shiozaki in his arms. It looked like she was unconscious.

Tetsutetsu breathed heavily as he emerged from the smog. "S-she just fainted..." He said, between gasps. "She inhaled the gas and fell over."

Momo checked Shiozaki's radial artery. "She's breathing normally- I don't think it's an entirely toxic gas." Momo then looked at Tetsutetsu's body. "And you're my confirmation of that. If the gas was more hazardous, it would be corroding through your skin."

Tetsutetsu shivered as Awase helped him put on a spare gas mask. "Well that's a fun image."

"What's going on!? Are there really a bunch of villains attacking right now?" Bondo asked. (Momo had to make him a hazmat suit, due to his peculiar face structure.)

"I'm scared! What if one of us gets hurt?!" Pony yelled.

"Try and stay focused, Pony." Momo said. "One of your classmates is injured and needs immediate attention- I need you and the others to get back to camp. Now. Take some more gas masks in case you run into anybody else."

"Wh-what about you?" Pony asked. Momo looked towards the smog, and frowned.

"I need to make sure there's no one else inside the smoke. There's a few groups ahead of us- and they might be in a similar situation as Shiozaki." Momo said.

"If you're gonna seriously venture into that smog, then take me with you!" Awase said, stepping forward. "You might need some assistance...and I know the way to the end."

Tetsutetsu grimaced. "Are you sure about this?"

"We'll be fine." Momo said. "Now hurry up and get Shiozaki to safety! Now!" She and Awase ran into the smoke, ready to help.

"Right! You heard her!" Tetsutetsu said, as he led Pony, Setsuna and Bondo down the path. Setsuna popped one of her eyes out and threw it up into the air.

Tetsutetsu gagged. "Gross!"

"Shush. This is gonna help us find the others..." Setsuna said, as her eye floated above the forest canopy. She looked around, noticing how the smoke was spreading rapidly...and that a fire had engulfed the other side.

"Crap- our only way out is off the path. We're surrounded by chaos." Setsuna muttered.

"Those bastards..." Tetsutetsu grumbled. "They must've spent weeks planning this attack!"

"Just follow me." Setsuna said, running ahead. She got off the path, and started to rush through the forest.

"Hey, wait up!" Pony yelled, as the group followed her into the dark. As they rushed through the forest, the next announcement came through.

"Members of Class A and B, Eraserhead authorizes you for combat! FIGHT BACK, BUT ONLY IF NECESSARY!"

Tetsutetsu grimaced, as he looked down at Shiozaki- she hadn't done anything to deserve this. All she wanted to do was have some fun with her classmates. She would've forgiven her enemies for an underhanded move, but Tetsutetsu wouldn't.

Maybe combat IS necessary here. He thought, as he ran through the woods.

Kendo coughed, as she ran through the forest. She held Yui and Honenuki in her hands, trying to cover their mouths from the gas. She was struggling to hold her breath. The smog had overtaken the entire west part of the forest.

This villain's mist will eventually spread throughout the forest, wiping out everyone. I'm not sure how dangerous this mist is, but I can tell it's some kind of sleeping gas at the very least. Kendo pondered. Like Midnight's quirk.

"Kendo!"

Kendo looked over to see a group of her classmates approaching her. Her eyes widened as she saw Ibara in Tetsutetsu's arms.

"What happened!?" Kendo yelled, as she ran over.

"She just inhaled some gas, but Momo said she'll be fine." Pony said, attaching a gas mask to Kendo. She let go of Yui and Honenuki, who were quickly equipped with gas masks. Pony used her horns to hold Honenuki up.

"Oh, poor Honenuki..." Pony sighed.

"Damn it- I kinda hoped he'd be awake." Tetsutetsu sighed.

"Sorry, but he was one of the first to fall asleep because of the gas." Kendo said. "Now, let's get back to the camp. No telling where the villains could be out here..."

Tetsutetsu furrowed his brow. "No!"

"Huh?!" Setsuna said. "Dude, not the best idea right now. We're under attack."

"And we were told to engage if necessary!" Kendo frowned. "What are you thinking?"

Tetsutetsu looked down at Ibara and sighed. "I can't stand by, damn it! You're always giving Monoma flak, but I know you all feel the same damn way about the distance between us and Class A."

"There IS no distance! Monoma just says that get us fired up!" Bondo yelled.

"No, there IS!" Tetsutetsu countered. "It's so obvious! They've experienced crisis over and over again! They take every crisis and turn it into an opportunity!"

Kendo frowned. Tetsutetsu wasn't the brightest bulb, but he did have a point. They were ill-prepared for this situation.

"Don't try and stop me. Heroes shouldn't be running from a bad guy like this!" Tetsutetsu said. "I'm gonna find these jerks and beat the snot out of them! If I don't stand up here, what's the point of being in the hero course?!"

Kendo sighed. "...you've got a point."

"Kendo! Don't tell me you're actually in agreement here!" Pony whined.

"Sorry, but...he's right." Kendo said, standing up. "Okay, Tetsu. You have a point."

"HELL YEAH!" Tetsutetsu said.

"But- you're not going this alone." Kendo said. "As class rep, I will follow you. I don't want you getting hurt."

"The more the merrier," Tetsutetsu said, smashing his fists together. "SO LET'S DO THIS!"

"W-wait..." Bondo said. "Someone's coming right towards us!"

Bondo was pointing in the opposite direction- through the smog, someone was coming. Tetsutetsu assumed a fighting stance. "Get ready for some action, people..."

"No, wait! Stand down!" Setsuna said. "It's...it's Shoji of Class 1-A!" Tetsutetsu relaxed a bit, as Shoji ran over.

"T-thank Goodness...I was worried about..." Shoji said, catching his breath.

"Woah, you good dude?" Tetsutetsu asked, handing him a spare gas mask. Shoji denied it.

"My own mask acts as an N-95, I should be safe from the smoke." Shoji explained.

"Wow! How safe!" Bondo noted.

"Hey, where's Tokoyami?" Setsuna asked. "I saw you two together earlier."

"...that's the problem." Shoji said. "I need some help..."
