Super Science

Ch 25: When Villains Attack Part. 3

Just before Izuku, Egon, Nezu, and Bakugou could leave, a black portal opened before the door, and several villains spilled out immediately. As they all backed away, one of them strutted up to them with an evil smile while looking dead at Nezu.

"Well, well, the principal of UA, ready to die like what you did to my whole life!" He yelled while turning his hands into metal spiked maces.

The others looked at Nezu, wondering what he was talking about, but Egon took this differently and stated, "Hey! We're here too!"

"Oh yes, how could I forget about the two brats and the nerd?", the villain vexed, smiling.

Egon and Izuku scowled at this, and they both shouted, "I'll show you who's a nerd!"

Egon then shot lasers from his eyes and blasted the one in front! Izuku then ripped off Egon's desk, which was booted to the floor, and threw it at the rest, pinning them under the large metal object! They, alongside the gobstruck heroes, easily ran out the unoccupied door. Once they were out, Izuku broke the mechanics on the other end, and Egon welded it shut with his laser vision. The two of them wipe their brows and sigh. I'm relieved once their job is done.

This left the two heroes in shock and confusion about what they saw. They stared for so long that the two scientists noticed and asked why they were staring.

"I thought you had a crystal quirk.", Nezu stated.

"I thought you were quirkless!", Bakugou exclaimed.

"You're right on both accounts.", Izuku confirmed.

"Then how'd you do that?", Nezu asked, baffled.

Izuku looked at Egon, who nodded and told them, "Well, since you signed the waiver, we can tell you. They're called Splinters and hold an energy source that can mimic and replicate anything they come in contact with, including quirks."

Curious and struck by an overwhelming sense of intrigue, Nezu inquired, "How did you figure that out?"

Izuku put a finger to his lips and answered, "Trade secret."

"Less talk and more running! That door won't hold them forever.", Egon told them as he waved down a hallway.

As the four of them ran down the hallway, hoping no more villains were out patrolling, Nezu asked, "So what's the plan from here?"

Egon told him, "Get to the security office, try to force the doors open, or call for help."

"And if that doesn't work.", Nezu shit back.

"We pull out all the stops, including the dragon.", Egon explains as Izuku nods.

The two heroes stop in their tracks, causing the two scientists to skid to a skidding halt. They look back and see the two surprised heroes say in unison, "You have a dragon?"

It only took them several seconds to run before they got to the corner where the security office was, and unfortunately, it was guarded by two villains. Luckily, this wasn't a problem, especially as Bakugou wanted to go out and attack them, though he didn't get the chance as the two scientists casually walked out in front of them with zero hesitation. When the two villains saw them and tried to attack the seemingly harmless scientists, they were meant for the biggest shock of their lives! Egon breathed out a torrent of cold air that froze the first villain solid while the second one was caught up in some sort of spacetime pocket and turned into some abstract artwork, unable to move and freak out!

The two scientists patted themselves off and gave the thumbs up to the two heroes, who just looked on in a mixture of impressed, shocked, and furious way on Bakugou's end. Once inside, Egon went to the nearest keyboard and started typing faster than the human eye could keep up. It only took a minute before results began to show, as the scientist slammed on the keyboard wall, cursing.

"Shit, shit, shit!", He hissed.

"I assume those are good curses.", Nezu asked hopefully.

Egon gruffed and told him, "You and I wish! The security system may still be in our control, but they have us trapped with communications down!"

"So what now?", Izuku asked.

"We fight stupid nerds!", Bakugou countered while punching his fist.

Egon raised an eyebrow and shot back with sass, "Oh really? Two scientists with no fighting experience, a smart mouse, and an uncontrollable hero in training up against-I don't-know how many villains, their two mystery leaders, and that giant monster. Yeah, we'll win."

Bakugou growled, then looked at Izuku's neck and, reaching out for one of the Splinters, demanded, "Then give me one of those spitter things!"

"No!", Izuku rejected and pulled away, much to Bakugou's surprise. "First off, they're called Splinters. Second, they're our property. Third, they're hard to make, and finally, I don't trust you." Izuku firmly told him off.

Bakugou was hit into another stunned silence for the second time by Izuku, and just like the last one, he had no idea how to react. So he stood his stuff with his mouth open.

While this happened, Nezu turned his eyes to the security monitor and said, "I see they even took out the cameras. I hope your staff is doing okay."

This statement sent a shiver up the Professor's spine. Realizing he had yet to check in on them, he whipped out his phone to do a group call. Once on speaker, he announced, "Attention tension! Is everyone okay?"

"Not really. Otto is on his last leg, er, arm.", Genus told him nervously.

"I'm running out of plants to fight!", Hollyhock shouted.

"I'm…losing….my….voice.", Hankyō squeaked out.

"I'm out of robots, and my MEK has shut down.", Hatsume said in a displeased neutral tone.

"I'm all outta juice!", Honey Lemon screamed.

"I'm out of ammo, but I won't stop fighting!", Cho exclaimed before she started to shout a war cry and run.

"Our forcefield is almost done for!", The triplets told him with feverish fear.

As Egon and Izuku heard this, all hope seemed to vanish! The sound of fighting and their workers struggling to hold on sent chills down their backs. They couldn't do anything at this point; it was hopeless! They were trapped in their facility with no contact and overrun by criminals with a monster that could do who knows what!? On top of that, they had a bunch of kids to try and protect. What could they do?

In moments of conflict, emotions, and thoughts, Izuku could only fall to his knees and cry. Egon wasn't much better. His knees locked together, he covered his mouth in shock, and tears flowed like two rivers down his face. Was this the end?
