~Chapter 11 Out of the Frying Pan~
The mist covering the entry walkway cleared away revealing almost all of the class had vanished, Ochako gasped quickly doing a mental count of who was still there.
'There's us, Thirteen, Iida, Ashido, Todoroki and Koda' Ochako counted 'where did everyone else go?'
"The villain said he'd "scatter you across this facility" so, I think he did" Himiko answered "we have to believe in them for now"
'You're right' Ochako, reached one her hands to her knife holster.
"Where is everyone?" asked Iida, refusing to take his eyes off the villain ahead of them.
"They're likely all scatter across the facility with other villains" answered Todoroki "but we should focus on the one in front of us"
"What do we do? The guy's not effected by physical attacks and can apparently teleport stuff" Sero complained.
"Class rep" Thirteen called out.
"Yes?" Iida replied with a bit nervously.
"I have a job for you, run to the school and tell the faculty what's going on here" she ordered "the alarms aren't sounding and our phones and radios are useless right now, one of these villains must be to blame" Thirteen paused for a moment "even though Eraserhead is cancelling people's quirks left and right, we're still completely sealed off from the outside world, likely whoever is causing this interference hid as soon they warped into the USJ, they could be anywhere, impossible to hunt down, it'll be faster for you to run and get help then us to find whoever is jamming everything"
"Yes, but it would be disgraceful for me to leave you all behind" Iida complained.
"Iida, they're keeping us trapped because all the alarms are out there" Todoroki spoke up "you're built for speed so you're the only one who can escape"
"You got this Iida" Mina cheered "go get the pros and bring them back here to help"
"Use your quirk to save others, be a real hero" said Thirteen.
"I can help you out" Ochako declared, drawing the boy's attention "just like I did when I floated you in the cafeteria, okay? No prob, please Iida do it"
Iida nodded his head with a determined look on his face, his engine exhaust pipes extending slightly.
"Even if this is your option, are you really foolish enough to strategise in front of your enemy?" the villain asked, his mist starting to expand again.
"It won't matter if you know what we're planning or not when I'm done with you" Thirteen replied "Black Hole" activating her quirk she started sucking up the black mist.
"Ah, Black Hole, the quirk that sucks up matter and turns it to dust" the villain said slowly "such an astounding power, however you're a rescue hero Thirteen, skilled at saving people from disasters, consequently that you means you have little fighting experience or battlefield awareness"
Right as he finished talking he opened a portal behind Thirteen, almost immediately the back of her costume was torn to pieces "how unfortunate, you've turned yourself into dust" he sneered.
"I'm sorry, he got me" Thirteen wheezed, deactivating her quirk before collapsing.
"Thirteen!" Mina cried.
"Iida, you have to leave now" ordered Todoroki, Iida grit his teeth before taking off in a sprint passed the villain.
"A sheep trying to escape from the wolves" he said, turning to follow Iida "I simply can't allow that, if other heroes arrive it'll be harder for us to put an end to All Might"
Another portal started forming in front of Iida as he did his best to slow down, Todoroki slammed his right foot down, frost and ice spread outwards, quickly forming a ramp that obscured the portal, seeing this Iida sped back up that slid up the ice ramp towards the door.
"You impertinent child" the villain yelled, moving to intercept the engine boy "you won't set foot outside those doors"
Ochako watched the villain stretch from his place "Ochako, he has some kind of brace" said Himiko as said brace became less obscured by the shifting mist.
'I see it' she replied, rising to her feet in a hurry.
"I have no time for this" he declared, catching up to Iida "begone!"
Ochako acted quickly, touching the villain's metal brace, removing gravity from him "I don't know what his quirk is, but he's wearing some kind of weird armour" she thought aloud "so he must have a physical body inside here somewhere" she threw the villain into the air as hard as she could "now, run Iida"
"You pest, how dare you" he yelled as was sent into the air, meanwhile Iida had made it to the doors and began prying them open, by the time the villain had reoriented himself Iida had begun his escape "I've got you" he declared.
'Himiko, you got this' Ochako thought, surrendering control.
Himiko acted quickly drawing one of her knives and throwing it at the rapidly descending villain, he released a pained grunt as the blade struck his armour, knocking him off course in the process.
With her additional distractions Iida successfully made it through the USJ's door and began his run back to the main campus, the mist villain's eyes narrowed, he was clearly angered by Iida's escape, but seemingly resigned to mark the mission as a failure before he vanished.
Himiko turned back to her classmates, Mina and Koda were kneeled on either side of Thirteen "how's Thirteen?" she asked clearly concerned.
"She's alive but in bad shape" Mina whimpered, she looked around the entrance and noticed Todoroki heading towards the side of the walkway "where are you going?"
"I'm going to find out more information about the villains' plans" was all the boy said, before making an icy bridge leading off towards the city ruins zone.
"He could've at least made sure we were all alright" Ochako grumbled.
"Do either of you know first aid?" Himiko asked walking over to her classmates.
"No, sorry" Mina replied somberly, she turned to look at Koda "do you?"
Koda nodded in affirmation, immediately Himiko opened one of her belt pouches and started taking out her first aid kit.
"Kota, I need you to do what you can to help Thirteen" Himiko said, looking the quiet boy in the eyes.
"Wait, what are you gonna do?" Mina asked, worried for her classmate.
"I second that question" said Ochako "this is a dangerous situation Himiko"
"Mr Aizawa could use the information of that warp villain's weak spot" Himiko explained to both Ochako and Mina "I'm not planning to go run into the middle of the villains, I just wanna pass the information to Mr Aizawa and come back to the entrance"
"Okay, but you be careful" Mina said with a determined look "we're not pro heroes yet, so don't go looking for a fight"
"I'm not going to" Himiko replied with a small smile 'you ready partner?'
"Alright, I think we might have to split vision" Ochako suggested "hopefully we don't take too long"
'Here, you take the wheel' Himiko returned control to Ochako.
Ochako looked backed to Mina and Koda "wish me luck"
"Good luck" Mina smiled.
Ochako headed down the stairs, keeping an eye on the unconscious villains 'do we have anything to tie them up up?'
"I don't think so" Himiko answered "we could float them, but I think we should just hurry, I'll try and keep my stealth trick up"
'Right' Ochako nodded moving through the unconscious crowd, as she got closer to the plaza fountain she was frozen at the sight before her.
Mr Aizawa laid pinned the ground by a large black figure, the hero's arms were clearly broken and the pool of blood around his head made her scared for his life, suddenly the mist villain from before suddenly appeared next to another villain, this one wearing a series of severed hands across his body.
"Tomura Shigaraki" he greeted.
"Kurogiri, did you manage to kill Thirteen?" the identified Shigaraki asked.
"The rescue hero is out of commission" Kurogiri answered "but there were students I was unable to disperse and one of them got outside of the facility"
Shigaraki turned to face Kurogiri before angrily started scratching at his neck "Kurogiri, you fool" he growled "if you weren't our warp gate, I'd tear apart every last atom in your body" he suddenly stopped scratching his neck "there's no way we can win if dozens of pros show up to stop us, it's game over, back to the title screen and I was looking forward to finishing this today damn it, let's go home"
"Wait is that it?" Himiko asked hopefully.
'I hope so' Ochako answered.
"Oh, before we leave, let's make sure the symbol of piece is broken" said Shigaraki with an upbeat tone, turning to face her "let's wreck his pride"
Ochako barely blinked and the villain was in front of her, his right hand reaching out towards her "let's make this hurt" he declared.
Himiko, in her fear for her own and Ochako's safety, snatched control and pulled out her knife as fast as she could, leaning backwards to get away, Himiko slashed her weapon at the villain.
Blade met flesh as two of the villain's fingers were severed "AAH, you bitch!" he cried, stepping back and clutching his right hand with his left, making sure to keep his pinky finger raised "Nomu!" the large figure holding down Aizawa practically teleported to them "hold her, I wanna make it slow and painful" he ordered.
Himiko was given no time to react, Nomu grabbed her by the head painfully and lifted her off the ground, Shigaraki took her knife from her "do you know what my quirk does?" he asked rhetorically before he gripped her knife tightly, Himiko could only watch as the weapon crumbled to dust before her eyes.
Shigaraki laughed at her expression before he stretched his uninjured hand towards her stomach, Himiko and Ochako were frozen in terror, when he touched her she forgot to breath until she realized nothing happened.
"You really are so cool" he said slowly, looking over his shoulder, following his gaze revealed that Aizawa had raised his head to activate his quirk on Shigaraki "Eraserhead"
Ochako, realizing her teacher saved her, took back control and double kicked Shigaraki in the chest while he was distracted, knocking the hand covered villain away.
"How dare you" he growled from the floor "Nomu-" before he could finish whatever order he was gonna give, another voice Ochako recognized filled the air.
"YOU! LET HER GO!"
~A/N~ No-one: And we're done with the first 'USJ Zone' chapter and quick reminder all the 'USJ Zone' chapters take place simultaneously and the end of this chapter is where the next chapters will also end.
No-one: Feel free to guess where you think the rest of the class ended up, we still have the rest of the 'USJ Zones' to write for, as always tell me your thoughts on the chapter, even if you just want to say "It sucked" until next time…
No-one: I'm No-one Special.
