Chapter 07

Previously

Nemuri stopped the car at what appeared to be an abandoned insane asylum. "Nem, what are we doing here?" mic asked. "Aizawa's here" nemuri simply said.

"Why would aizawa's kidnapper bring him HERE of all places?" mic asked, "it's creepy as hell," mic finished. Nemuri ignored mic, as her mind was focused on getting to aizawa, so she could rescue him. so she could hold him, and not let go.

Now

Midnight nearly barged into the abandoned asylum, but mic stopped her by grabbing her shoulder. "Midnight, the hell are you doing?" asked mic. "We need to be smart about this -" was as far as he got, before midnight slapped his hand off her shoulder. After she slapped his hand off, she ran inside with reckless abandon. "Damnit midnight, WAIT THE HELL UP!" mic yelled.

please, shouta, please be alright midnight thought to herself. Suddenly, a few feet in front of her, appeared a small box. It looked like those old windup tin joker boxes, where you wind it, it plays a tune as you wind it, and the clown inside pops out at the end of the song. However, unlike those ones, this one was SIGNIFICANTLY larger, about 3' x 3'. Midnight stopped as it appeared.

She slowly walked forward, tensing if it were to explode. It exploded, just not the way she expected. With a big puff of multi colored smoke, some windup teeth appeared. These teeth party gags were FAR more dangerous than what midnight was expecting. After a certain amount of time, they do something. Midnight, getting annoyed, destroyed the party gags, and continued on. Mic was about a minute behind her, and ran into the destroyed gags.

"The hell were these supposed to be?" mic wondered out loud. "Whatever, midnight needs my help." with that, mic moved passed the destroyed gags. However, as if they were sensing the distance between them, the gags EXPLODED. Not powerful enough to destroy a house, but certainly strong enough to cause a LOT of damage, should they go off.

Not expecting it, mic was thrown by the shockwave. He hit the wall, and was knocked out for a while.

Nemuri heard the explosion, but she thought it was minor (it sorta was) since the building didn't shake. Therefore, she brushed it off. Right now, the ONLY thing in her mind, was making sure that shouta was alive and well.

Finding a map of the floor she was on, she saw the words "he's here" with the isolated patient ward circled. She ground her teeth in fury. It looked like she had a ways to go.

However, she saw some arrows showing a direction, with a message on the wall saying "this way is the quickest. If you want to save your friend sooner, follow the arrows." Doing what the message said, nemuri began to follow the arrows.

Not even five minutes pass before she was in the isolated patient wing. She found a folded note and a key. She picked them up and opened the letter.

welcome to a little game i devised. If you want to save your friend before his end. You have one chance to find the right door. Otherwise, your friend's life will end in a most joyful way. At least he won't be a bore.

Nemuri was BEYOND worried by this point. She took a wild guess, and went to room XIII. she tried to open the door. It was locked. She tried the key. The key worked.

She burst into the room, and saw shouta strapped down to the patient's bed. She rushed to shouta's side in a peeled open his shut eyelids, and saw that his eyes were incredibly unfocused. That only happens when the person has a pretty bad concussion. Shouta woke up a bit, and tried to tell her something, but she was only able to hear one word: 'bomb'.

"There's a bomb, shouta? Where is it?!" nemuri asked shouta. However, shouta had passed back out immediately after trying to tell her something. Nemuri called the paramedics. However, after she called the paramedics, she remembered mic, and that he was SUPPOSED to be behind her.

With the realization that mic is missing, she decided to call some help from some other staff at UA.

After the paramedics arrived, they took aizawa away (once they managed to find them inside the building) to a hospital for him to recover. However, mic was found by ragdoll of the wild wild pussycats. Why was she there, you wonder? It's simple, she was called in to help find mic, and she was nearby, due to an errand she had to run.

When the others saw just how badly mic was injured (almost as bad as eraserhead), they rushed him to the hospital, as well.

The staff of UA met up at the hospital where aizawa and mic are. They were having an impromptu meeting.
