"We're fucked! Why did we have to come back to this nightmare zone!?"
"Is everybody here?" Yaomomo called out to everybody. "Are we all accounted for?"
"Aside from Koda and Iruma, everyone in class is currently present." Iida counted off. "I believe Class 1-B was sent hurtling into another direction."
"Okay, Koda's off. He'll gather the army." Kaminari ripped a stick off a nearby log, drawing into the dirt like a madman. "Given our new numbers and diversity they'll likely bring out something better than level 3. The numbers will be a problem, so long range is vital." Maybe they could get a combo going on. "Jiro, we need 1-B meeting up with us, time is of the essence."
"O-on-on it." What had her so nervous all of a sudden. She usually had such a cool head, even if the situations was dangerous as fuck.
"Iida, get everyone into formation. Anyone that can shoot at a distance needs to have open space, heavy hitter on every side."
"I, but … you have not even informed us what is going on!" He shouted. "Why do we need to huddle up? It is simply a walk to the camp."
He let out a laugh that made everyone look at him strangely. What, Iida was being funny. "Just a walk? Sure, you could call it a walk, if you think you can outrun NATURE ITSELF!" He walked up to the glasses wearing boy. "Anyone who runs in alone is a dead man, I only trust Koda because nature has declared him king. We already lost Iruma to the rocks!"
"Dodger jumped in head first, but yeah, he's probably dead by now, if not, lost as hell." Bakugo summed up the situation
"I'm coming, Iruma-kun!" Hagakure began running, until he grabbed her.
"Get a hold of yourself woman! Anyone who goes off alone is lost! We need numbers and cooperation to survive the wrath!" He shook the invisible girl in place.
"What wrath are you talking about!?" Uraraka yelled.
The ground trembled, as if answering her response. Once, twice, each rumble bringing it closer. "Kaminari … why don't I feel a heartbeat … or breathing?" Shoji asked him calmly, a rational head!
"They're the golems I told you guys about! They're made with Pixie-bob's quirk, and as long as there's dirt around us, they're never going to stop coming!" Hope was faint. "Bakugo, I don't want ANY of your 'I can do this alone' crap! Stay with the group or so help me I will bring vengeance when you sleep!"
"Whatever. Just don't get in my way when I kill these things." That's the spirit! They may actually have a chance at surviving a whole day out here!
Koda heard the cries. Those in need, begging the forest for salvation. His subjects were reluctant, but they must help them. The forest shall defend all from the rocks.
"That's the twenty something Golem we've fought! They keep coming!"
"The mushrooms won't grow, the soil is so dry!"
"In the name of my angel, you shall perish!"
"In the name of manliness, you shall be punched!"
He waited, the birds chirping the position of enemies. Any minute … any minute … now! He clenched his hand, nature screamed and rushed in. Bears went to maul legs, mountain lions went to climb and strike the back, bugs attacked the monsters from the inside out.
"Is … nature beating them up?" A student with glue coming out of his mouth asked. Koda really should have gotten their names down, but they never hung out that much.
"It's so majestic." The American student watched the entire display in awe.
"The Lord has truly blessed us on this day." Shiozakai began praying. Again, he was a Gianist, but he wouldn't start a religious war in the middle of the forest.
"Come with me if you want to live." He held his hand out to the mushroom girl on the deer he rode, gazing at the group. For some reason she blushed.
"Don't trust a word of the 1-A cretin, anyone!" Of course Monoma was going to make it difficult for us. "He's the quiet one! How do we know Class 1-A didn't send him out to lower our guards so that he could lead us away…!" Mushrooms began forming all over his body, particularly over his mouth. Yes, this was not the time to argue, it was the time to live!
Dabi sat back, watching Tomura and the Demon stare at each other in silence. Kiriwo was a strange case, a literal demon from hell, yet he looked so weak, fragile, and innocent. On the inside however, the bastard might have been more twisted than the old man. And now the league tried to find some activities to focus on 'bonding', as Himiko put it.
"The fuck do you mean Spinner is the only one here to play video games?" As you could see, it was working splendidly.
"I mean, it's pretty obvious." The demon shrugged. "Even with your horrid stench, I can sense bloodlust from everyone except him, and he's wearing someone else's costume, so he probably just wanted to look cool, and thus he's likely a loser with way too much freetime on his hands."
"I don't have too much free time. I dedicate most of my day to workout" The lizard man defended.
"Right, because your 'quirk' does nothing for you." A growl was returned. "Seriously, quirks are bullshit. How do genetics let you decide who blows up mountains with fingers and who can breathe really well?"
"You think that's bullshit? You're a demon from hell, you're born with magic that pretty much lets you do anything, and you have specific magic only you can do because of 'Bloodlines'."
"It's not only I can do it, it's selective breeding that lets you do one magic your entire lineage has trained really well. If you're strong enough no spell is off limits." Kiriwo smirked. "You all are a bunch of one trick ponies."
"Selective breeding, huh?" Dabi caught on to that one bit. "Sounds exactly like quirk marriages." Maybe Endeavor was part demon. That would explain so much.
"Well it used to be just like that, only more barbaric. You took someone you liked, dragged them against their will, and raped them."
"It's pretty much that with more steps." Kiriwo looked curiously at that.
"I guess it is … well it's better than down there." How so? "Ever since the last demon king, rape is down, so is murder, arson, all the good stuff."
"Wait, hell is peaceful?" Mustard asked.
"The thirteen Crows, the closest thing the Netherworld has to heroes, try to maintain all the chaos, preventing all the demons from returning to origin. It's sickening in all honesty." Sounded right for a demon to think like that. "But since Lord Derkila is missing, it's only a matter of time before every demon goes back to their roots."
"Do you have any hobbies that don't involve mass murdering and despair fetishism?" Compress asked. "I don't feel that's healthy, you'll end up like them." He gestured over to Moonfish and Muscular.
"Oh, don't insult me so….I'm more like those two." He pointed to Toga, who turned her head with a pout, and …himself? "They indulge in their destructive desires and run on instinct, while keeping intelligence at its maximum. You actually remind me of a friend, Toga, she has this thing for innocent kids."
"If you know her, she probably isn't your friend." The bloodsucker responded spitefully. "You probably don't even know how to like somebody, let alone love."
"Oh that's where you're wrong. I do have a love, he's almost killed himself twice stopping my plans. All that sweet agony and pain he put himself through, yet he still stood smiling while I could only watch in despair. It was the most beautiful gift anyone has ever given me."
"Yeah, that, you don't love someone by making them cry you jerk, you love them by becoming them, stepping in their footsteps and embracing their ideals as your own. I used to love Stain, until Tomura showed me how toxic it was. Thank you." She gave a cute wave and smiled at the latter.
"You have your definition, I have mine. Just like how Dabi has his."
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"Oh come now, I can see it in your eyes." He walked up to him with that creepy smile. "Someone you want to watch cry out in agony, someone you want miserable to the very end, you want to watch the hope and light fade from their eyes before you even begin to end their suffering, if you ever do. That's love, right?"
Dabi lit on fire, blue flames scorching the ground. "Let me tell you here and now … that is hate and resentment. Not whatever fucked up definition of love you have."
"To a true demon, there's no difference." The bastard just laughed, not even phased by the fire. "Either Way, you want to see them fall, to see them despair, to bring everything they've built tumbling down until only ashes remain. You want to Go Beyond…Plus Ultra…into Entropy."
His fire flickered for a second, staring at the demon. "Hey, what did I say before? Keep that desperate bullshit away from my allies." Tomura called out.
Kiriwo chuckled. "Or what? You'll punch me? Blast me with whatever power you have? Scold me?" Tomura raised his hand forward … only to hit something. "Invisible Barrier, it's the only reason I-"
Crack
Kiriwo stared at the air, which CRACKED, and shattered into pieces. "... That's not possible … that was pure magic …"
"Magic is Bullshit." Tomura responded. "You're here because of MY contract with you. You're not the superior here, I AM." The man decayed part of the counter to reiterate his point. "You either work with me as my ally, or I'll check to see if the Doctor can make a Nomu out of a demon corpse."
The demon looked confused for a second, before looking at the counter, then back to Tomura. "Of course." He smiled. "The only reason Demons work together is the threat of death after all." There was something off with the tone he couldn't place. "So what's the first plan?"
"Wait for now, Sensei has to get the location of the target first … but we can go over a few details." The leader placed a file onto the counter. "Starting with the list."
Shoji walked with the rest of the group, panting in mild exhaustion. They finally met up with 1-B, led by a Koda army, the boy looking both majestic and terrifying. "We've been walking for hours, are you sure this is the right way Kaminari?" Ashido whined.
"The moss said we're heading north, but we can't really trust it without a guidance point. We'd normally use Koda's birds, but it's the migratory season." The electric user was scarily competent at the moment. "And Bakugo can fly and rocket himself, but he can't go high enough to get a clear point of view without strain."
"Fuck off." Guess that was just an automatic response to anything.
"Not to mention we still haven't found Iruma! He's probably freaking out all over." Uraraka said worriedly. "This is probably triggering so many unpleasant memories for him."
"I have no doubt the Lord will protect my angel through whatever plight he finds himself in." Shiozaki was praying as he figured she always did.
"The gods have no place in this soulless wasteland. There is only life, and there are rocks." The mud quirk guy was taking this hard, already looking like he was on his last legs.
"So both classes are crazy? It's not just us?" Jiro asked
"I think heroism just makes you crazy at this point." A scaled man spoke. "Cause there is no one sane I've met other than the general studies kid. Hey Setsuna, why don't you try looking in the sky, see what you can find?"
"Hey everyone." Shoji spoke up. "I smell food." The rest of the students looked elated.
"Finally, we're close! Lead the way Shoji!" Kirishima patted him on the back. They're suffering was about to end! There actually was a light at the end of the tunnel! There might actually be a god…
Thump
Why were they forsaken!? "Guy's, we're surrounded!" He warned everyone. "Get ready.., this'll be a long one." Six golems approached them from every side…
"GAAAAH!" Only to be demolished by a blue blur of lighting, slowly ripping them from the outside in. The class watched the carnage in question, the blur rushing in the direction of food as soon as the bodies fell.
"... Did anyone else just see Suzuki run rampant with a crazed look in his eye?" Iida asked the group.
"I think I heard him growling too." Yaoyoruzo commented.
"He's gone feral." Koda spoke up. "Embraced the ways of mother nature to survive and slay enemies. It's what me and Kaminari did on day five. He might never be the same kid after today."
"IRUMA-KUN, I'M COMING FOR YOU!" Hagakure ran off immediately, and the rest of them followed. They came into a small clearing, the boy in question sitting next to a tent of leaves, a large pot filled with meat, mushrooms, and fruit. Suzuki looked at the food in a pile, giving each a sniff before tossing it away or placing it in the pot, making a low whining sound that you would hear from a dog. "Iruma-kun, i'm so happy you-"
"GRRRRRR." The boy actually growled at her, on all fours and ready to pounce or flee if necessary. "Grr..Oh, hey Toru, sorry. Are you hungry?"
"You know." Todoroki spoke up after a second of silence. "He might just be subconsciously feral. All the time."
"Did…did you make a camp?" Kendo asked the kid, looking at the little set up that they entered.
"Yeah, I realized I didn't know where to run and I might not make it to lunch, so I had to create survival strategies. I made sure to have a canopy up top to avoid rainfall, but leave a few ventilation holes for summer. Some defenses were made, but the rock men ignored them." He growled at the trees.
"Yeah, because there was a much scarier animal then them." He muttered.
"There is!? Where, I could have sworn I had this area on lockdown, unless the animal doesn't like heat, and it's the only thing keeping it away." He looked at his camp. "Todoroki, let's set the forest on fire."
"Okay." The boy agreed far too easily for anyone's liking.
"No, if we lose trees we lose any cover we have, and the rocks will come all at once!" Kaminari screamed. "They'll come in armies!" That sounded slightly more sane, but not for the right reasons.
Iruma made his way into the clearing with the rest of the class. "Wow, it's almost as big as Momo's place." This was camping? He must have sucked, he could never build like this.
"Yep, this is the home to the Wild Wild pussy cats … may your souls be left behind." Kaminari spoke dramatically.
"I'm really liking this new side of Kamianri." Tokoyami stated. "Very relatable."
"Yeah, very attractive." Jiro and Momo said at the same time.
"Over dramatic, this internship seems so much better than Jeanist, learned jack shit there." Bakugo argued. "Speaking of the bitches …"
"Welcome back everyone, how did it go!?" The red one, Mandalay, waved at them. Half the group responded by holding up their middle fingers. Was this a part of a secret handshake he didn't know about? "Amazing! You actually got here sooner than we estimated you would!"
"But it's almost night!" Sero yelled.
"Yeah, sorry about that." Pixie bob waved off. "We estimated based on our time, not yours." Now even more middle fingers joined. Should he join in? "But look at all of you, so sweaty and strong … it's making my heart act up." She licked her lips in a way that made him feel like prey. "Especially you four!" She pointed to him along with Bakugo, Iida, and Shoto. "I call dibs on them!"
"Mandalay, has she always…?" Aizawa asked the other hero as Pixie-bob made strange faces towards them.
"It's been getting worse, she's getting sensitive about it, age and all." That seemed to make the blue colored hero sulk a little.
"How old is she, twenty?" He asked, thinking that was a fair guess. She didn't like that old, definitely younger than Aizawa.
That made Pixie-bob even happier than she was before from the looks of it. "Oh, you're definitely a keeper. Please remember me after you graduate! I'll be waiting for you!"
"Okay." Iruma nodded. If he was going to learn he might as well remember her help. He then felt himself being blocked by Toru, who was glaring for some strange reason. This was tripled with Ochako pushing them away and Ibara being held back by the red headed girl in her class as her vines looked like they wanted to grab the blonde hero.
"Hoars, there's so many temptresses that dare try to taint my angel's purity!" What angel? Was there someone with white fluffy wings?
"Hey, what's that kid doing here?" Tsu asked, pointing at a boy with a red hat that had two yellow spikes sticking out of it. He was giving them all the angry looks that Bakugo gave them all the time.
"Oh, that's my nephew Kota. I'm watching over him now." Mandalay explained. "He's..going through a lot right now."
That didn't sound good. Maybe he just needs a friend. "Hey there, I'm Iruma Suzuki." He held out his hand to the little kid. Kota, as his name was, stared at him, before pulling back his fist. Instinct kicked in, as Iruma kicked the kid through the window. Everyone stared at him with horror. "He was about to hit my crotch." It's what Rabbit-Sama taught him to do.
"You only get half rations tonight." Mandalay glared at him. Suddenly he wished the kid DID hit him in the crotch, it would be less painful then the sentence of almighty doom placed on him.
