In Class 1-A's dormitory...
Mr. Aizawa had been pacing all around the common room, wondering where the heck his students were at a time like this. Class 1-A and M had been called in early to leave school to hear that some of their classmates had left the cafeteria. Even AllMight and Midoriya's mom were there, waiting for someone to text them or call them. Su Han stayed with Class 1-M, feeling just as frustrated as Mr. Aizawa.
Mr. Aizawa tried to reach any of them, but he couldn't get through. He had a feeling that they were somewhere near the beach since it wasn't going through.
"Shouldn't we go after them?" Marinette asked Mr. Aizawa.
"No way. If they really are going after Chrysalis, then I need everyone here. It's the best way to keep everyone safe and away from her," Mr. Aizawa explained as he tried to call Yaoyorozu.
Again, it couldn't reach her phone.
Mr. Aizawa was pretty frustrated at this point. He didn't know or understand why they would just up and leave school like this. He had gotten a call from Ojiro saying that he had spotted Midoriya and Uraraka leaving the cafeteria along with everyone else. After calling Iida and not getting an answer, he almost threw phone at the wall.
"Why don't any of you answer your damn phone," Mr. Aizawa said under his breath.
"I could fly around to see if I can help them," Marinette said to him, "We've gotta do something, sir."
"No. I need you here to help heal Midoriya when he comes back," Mr. Aizawa said back, a little too harshly, "You need all of your energy for that."
Marinette pulled back a bit, realizing that he was just as worried as them. Once he got ready to call someone else again, Mr. Aizawa got a phone call. His eyes lit up slightly when he saw Bakugo calling him.
"Well, this is new," Mr. Aizawa said to himself and answered the call.
"Mr. Aizawa. I know you're gonna be angry at us for running off," Bakugo said through the phone.
"No. I'm passed angry with you and Midoriya," Mr. Aizawa said back, making everyone take a step back.
"I need you and anyone else who's around to help out with Deku. He isn't exactly himself. I'll explain later, but everyone else should know what to do," Bakugo said to him, "Can you put me on speaker?"
Mr. Aizawa was shocked to hear him take charge like this. He went with it and put his phone on speaker.
"Okay. Everyone's here," Mr. Aizawa said back, "What do you want us to do?"
"I need you to grab a chair and whatever can warm or heat him up," Bakugo explained to them, "Everyone knows what to do. This weird energy is getting stronger and these things will help him. Mr. Aizawa I know you're confused, but something in the cave has latched itself onto him. It's kind of a mix of the Butterfly Miraculous and One for All."
Mr. Aizawa noticed that AllMight wasn't shocked by this, so he knew that he had already known about it. Everyone seemed to understand what was going on, and he let out a long and annoyed sigh.
"Just go do what Bakugo told you to do," Mr. Aizawa said to them, "Alright Bakugo, we'll help out. After this, you are not leaving this campus unless me or any of the other teachers are with you."
"Fine whatever. We'll be there soon."
Bakugo ended the call. Mr. Aizawa let out a long and annoyed sigh as everyone else grabbed what they could. Everyone grabbed a chair, hot tea, a heating pad, a hair dryer, blankets and anything else they could think of. They knew exactly Bakugo was trying to do, so they got everything they could to help Midoriya.
"I think that's everything," Sato said to them.
"Really Kaminari?" Jirou said to him as he brought down a mini heater from his room.
"What? Bakugo asked for anything that can heat him up," Kaminari explained to her, "I was using this for the winter."
She tried to hide a laugh at how ridiculous he looked carrying it down.
They all looked at the pile of stuff that Bakugo asked for and worried about Midoriya. They had heard about what had happened last night from Mr. Aizawa and worried about what was going on with him.
Before they could say anything, the front door flew open with Todoroki and Iida pushing and pulling a tied up Midoriya into the dormitory. Mr. Aizawa and everyone else were shocked to see Midoriya lashing out at them. He kept trying to go after Bakugo, but then his eyes would glitch out going from green to purple in an instant.
"What is going on, Bakugo?" Kaminari asked him, "Why is Midoriya tied up?"
"Were you not listening? This isn't really Deku, it's the weird energy from that damn cave!" Bakugo cried out as he tried to get him into the chair.
Bakugo held him down as Iida and Todoroki tied him down to it. He wasn't staying still, but they were able to get him tied down. His arms were pinned against the chair as they tied it all around his torso. They even tied his legs to the chair legs so he couldn't move. Once they were done, they backed up and Midoriya tried to get out of it. The rope wasn't budging, but Midoriya tried to use One for All to get out of it.
"Kaminari, zap him," Bakugo said to him.
"W-What?!" Kaminari cried out, a little thrown off.
"Just do it before he gets out of it," Bakugo growled out.
Kaminari placed his hand on him and felt bad for him as he zapped him. Midoriya cried out in pain as he fell over in the chair. A little bit of smoke rose from his head, making Midoriya's mom worry about him. AllMight placed his hands onto her shoulder to comfort her.
Midoriya was heavy breathing as he looked up to see Bakugo looking at him with determined eyes. He didn't look away as Midoriya sat there feeling really annoyed. Class 1-M all transformed into their hero costumes, feeling determined to help out.
"What? You think a little zapping is going to stop me?" Midoriya said to Bakugo.
"No, but we're going to get Deku back," Bakugo said back as he leaned into his pale, freckled face, "One way or another."
Midoriya's eyes glitched, going from green to purple again.
"K-Kacchan, do it! N-No! Stop it, Iz-Izuku!" Midoriya cried out.
Bakugo smirked at Midoriya, knowing full well that Midoriya was ready for anything. He grabbed the mini heater and plugged it in. He put it next to him and grabbed a few blankets. He wrapped them around Midoriya, and he could already tell that Midoriya knew what was going on. He tried to get away from them, but Kaminari zapped him again.
"Todoroki, use your fire side," Bakugo said to him, "We need to heat him up as much as we can."
Todoroki looked hesitant, but then remembered what happened to Kirishima. He looked determined and turned on his fire side and leaned it closer to Midoriya. Bakugo could tell that Midoriya was already getting angry and tried to get away them.
"Bakugo! You aren't going to get away with this!" Midoriya cried out, "I'll get out of this! When I do, you'll be sorry!"
Bakugo smirked and leaned closer to him, only annoying him even more.
"Really? Because it looks like I've got you right where I want you," Bakugo said to him, "Your special cave has collapsed, and you have no crystals left. It looks like I've won."
Midoriya gave him a piercing, purple glare, but felt another glitch coming over him. He looked like he was sweating already from the mini heater and Todoroki's fire side. Something about it seemed to bother him a lot, and Bakugo noticed that the glitching was getting much worse.
"K-Kacchan! S-Something's wrong! N-No! I-It's fine! Ke-Keep going!" Midoriya cried out, confusing everyone.
Bakugo hesitated for a moment, not sure what to do. He looked at Midoriya and noticed that he looked a little nervous. Bakugo knew that he'd be okay and kept going. He plugged in the heating pad and placed onto his lap underneath the blankets. He could tell now that Midoriya was having a hard time with the heat now. He was sweating a lot as if he was fighting off a cold or flu.
Midoriya spotted Uraraka which made her take a step back. He smiled, really hoping that she would do something for him.
"M-My love! D-Don't let Bakugo do this to us! I-I know you love me!" Midoriya cried out, "Stop him from ruining this!"
His eyes glitched again, going from green to purple in an instant.
"D-Don't listen to him, O-Ochaco! Th-That was me that reached out to you last night! N-Not him!" Midoriya cried out.
Uraraka's eyes widened in shock, realizing that he had reached out to her. She had this feeling that she wanted to help him, but now wasn't the time to do so.
"Sorry Izuku, but you're going to have to just wait a little longer," Uraraka said to him, "I'll wait right here for you."
Midoriya looked pissed off, ready to strike.
"What?! Y-You pick this quirkless loser over me?!" Midoriya cried out, "First Bakugo, now you?!"
Then something surged all around Midoriya, zapping at Bakugo out of no where.
A surge of electric power came out of Midoriya's eyes, creating a butterfly shaped current of energy. Midoriya's eyes were wide open as the weird energy was leaving him. It looked like it was trying to escape before it could be defeated. Everyone stood there, not knowing what to do in that moment.
Even Mr. Aizawa and AllMight were stunned to see something like this surrounding Midoriya.
"What do we do, Bakugo?" Uraraka cried out.
Bakugo stood there, looking around for someone or something to stop it. He looked at Todoroki, and he too knew what to do. He turned up the heat and that seemed to hurt it. It tried to avoid his fire side, but not without leaving Midoriya. Bakugo didn't know what else to do, but then he spotted Ladybug getting ready with her yo-yo at the ready. He looked back at the purple electrical current and noticed how it looked like an akuma.
"Ladybug! You know what to do," Bakugo called out.
Ladybug smiled and got her yo-yo out. She threw it at the electric current, and it somehow absorbed into the yo-yo. It cried out for help, but it was absorbed into it. Ladybug pulled it back, but also got backlash along with Midoriya who was still tied up. He almost got knocked back, but Todoroki grabbed the chair before he could.
Ladybug grabbed her yo-yo and noticed that it was leaking some of that weird energy. Then she went to touch it, and it dissipated. She opened it and nothing came out of it. She hesitated, but ended up reaching into it. Everyone was nervous for her, but then she pulled out something.
It was a small clear crystal.
Bakugo's eyes widened in shock to see such a small crystal. Ladybug noticed him looking at it and knew that there was something more to it.
"That's what was bothering Midoriya? But it's just a crystal," Kaminari said to them.
"No. The power of One for All and the Butterfly Miraculous messed with the crystals when she stayed in there," Yaoyorozu explained to them, "Since Midoriya touched it, it latched onto him since he was the one that has One for All."
Everyone looked back at Midoriya who was sweating a lot. Uraraka carefully walked up to him, feeling nervous that he was still not quite himself.
"Izuku...?" Uraraka said to him.
Midoriya looked up, feeling really out of it. As his vision cleared up, he saw Uraraka's beautiful face staring back at him. Something about the way the light streamed into the windows made her even more gorgeous than usual. He felt really hot and sweaty, but he didn't care. He just wanted to be here with Uraraka in that moment.
"Ochaco..." Midoriya said as he smiled through tears, "You're here... Just like you said..."
Uraraka smiled back, realizing that he was finally back. She felt tears coming as Todoroki helped untie him. Once he was out of the rope, she couldn't hold it back anymore. She embraced him and wouldn't let go. She didn't even care if he was sweaty, she just wanted him back. He hugged her tightly, missing her warmth.
"I missed you so much," Uraraka said to him.
"You're so warm. I felt so cold without you around," Midoriya said to her, "Just... hold onto me for a moment."
Uraraka smiled and happily hugged him for a long time. He kept caressing her hair, missing that feeling of her close to him. She smelled like vanilla which just made him miss her even more.
"I love you Ochaco. I don't know what I'd do without you," Midoriya said to her, "I just... I just felt so lost. All I could think about was you when I was stuck in there."
Uraraka felt so bad for him, but also felt her heart fluttering after talking about her like that.
"I was worried about you too," Uraraka confessed, "I just... Are you sure you're okay?"
Before she knew it, he kissed her on the lips. She didn't expect it, but she couldn't help but kiss him back. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in closer. They slowly stopped kissing, and Uraraka placed her forehead onto his. Midoriya felt so much warmth coming from her that he didn't want to let go.
"Oh my gosh you two. Get a room," Kaminari said to them.
Midoriya and Uraraka looked back at everyone in the common room, and they turned bright red seeing so many people watching them kissing. They instinctively separated from each other, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Kaminari! Don't be rude," Jirou said back, "Midoriya had just been through a lot. Give him a break."
Bakugo couldn't help but finally relax now that things were back to normal. Midoriya locked eyes with him, and Bakugo could already tell that he appreciated what he did for him. He walked up to him, still feeling a little out of it.
For a moment, Bakugo thought that his eyes were slightly purple. Once he looked at him however, it seemed to go away.
"Are you okay, Kacchan?" Midoriya asked him, "You look like you saw a ghost or something."
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing," Bakugo said back, "I just... Are you sure you're feeling alright? I can tell that it kind of took a toll on you."
Midoriya looked down at his hands and didn't feel anything quite wrong. Then he worried about One for All.
"I feel okay. I'm just worried about One for All," Midoriya said to him, "M-Maybe I should check--"
Midoriya suddenly felt a slight headache and gripped onto his head. Bakugo reached out to him, but he noticed that one of his eyes was purple. He was still glitching out for some reason.
"Ka-Kacchan. S-Something's wrong with One for All."
Another amazing chapter!
I love this chapter! I love Bakugo helping out Midoriya! I love everything about this chapter! Something about it is just so satisfying! The way Bakugo interacted with Midoriya, and he helps him out is just so good! I love the way things turned out! These crystals were interesting to write! I just thought something different for this book would be fun! It makes things more interesting for Bakugo and Midoriya with those crystals around! Uraraka and Midoriya are so in love!
They may have stopped the crystals, but things are still heating up!
More to come soon!
