Notes: Hey everyone, back again. Thanks to those Pming me and commenting about my situation with the fires in California. I am fine don't worry and I hope for the best for those who have been affected. work has just been very busy for me. But without further delay, here we are!

PS: to those who keep commenting about other avatar characters joining... it isn't happening. This is Katara's story.

The next day at UA the slight tension could be felt in the air on campus. With the security breach yesterday many students were a little on edge about the effect it would have on their schedules and what the teachers would do next. But for class 1-A that wasn't going to be an issue. For to their surprise and excitement, they had rescue training today.

"Rescue training? Whats that?" Kaminari questioned out loud.

"Today you'll be dealing with natural disasters, shipwrecks and other things in that sense." Aizawa answered. "There will be myself, All Might and one other faculty member judging your performances today."

"Woah really? That's so exciting!" Mina cheered from her seat.

"Finally, some real hero stuff!" Kirishima clenched his fist in glee. "I'm shaking with excitement!"

Katara listened to the others chatter in anticipation to what was coming, feeling some of that herself. "So this is actually doing things that don't involve fighting today?" She questioned out loud.

Uraraka shook her head hearing that. "No, but this is still so fun! I can't wait!"

Looking back forward, Katara watched as the costume boxes came out from the side of the classroom once again while their teacher continued his speech.

"Just remember, most of you are not used to your costumes yet. Use today as practice in getting feel of their limits and how they apply with your quirks." He said while grabbing his papers off his desk. "We will be taking a bus to a nearby facility to conduct today's lessons. Now get ready and be outside in ten minutes."

Standing up with the others, Katara walked forward to grab her box as she nudged Tenya, "So, looks like we are doing some more things so you can show off your stuff." She teased.

"Hmm, as someone in the hero course, showing off is very disgraceful…" Iida adjusted his glasses and stood tall, "… but I am dedicated to doing the best I can to show the teachers and others what I am capable of!"

"Isn't that the same thing as showing off?" She joked at him, "Showing off doesn't always mean a bad thing."

Tenya was about to say something else before he sat quiet and smiled. "I shall admit you may be right on that point."

She laughed at his way of over analyzing things. She walked up to her briefcase and grabbed it before turning to follow the other girls to the locker rooms. Before she did however, Todoroki walked in front of her and grabbed his hero case.

"Putting on your classic outfit again?" he quietly whispered to her with a cold glare.

She swallowed the small lump in her throat as she glanced around the class real quick to make sure no one else heard what he said. She then locked eyes with Midoriya staring at the two of them awkwardly. Todoroki noticed the tensing in her body and looked over to the green haired boy, too. He let out an annoyed sigh when he realized what was going on. "So it seems I am not the only one who knows."

She didn't answer as he walked away from her, the dual haired teen heading off with the others. "It seems your secret is slowly falling apart."

Rubbing the back of her neck, Katara breathed slowly as she was beginning to feel the walls closing in on her. She glanced over to Midoriya standing next to her, his face red and twiddling his thumbs in silence. She just shook her head.

"Not a word, please." she whispered to him, receiving a rapid nod from the freckled boy.

"M-my lips are sealed. Promise!" he quickly answered.

Unknowing to the kids in the class still, Aizawa was around the corner just outside the door finishing up an email and sending it out. He glanced over his shoulder to the tan girl inside his room and grunted.

"I'm not entirely certain what is going on, but I will get to the bottom of this."

walking through the front doors of his agency, Tensei sipped his coffee and nodded to the few of his assistants that her in before him.

"Good morning everyone." He happily said to the two girls behind the front desk.

"Oh, good morning Ingenium sir!" the one on the right smiled up to her boss. "Enjoying your morning?"

"Yes I am, thank you. Any new messages for me?"

"Not yet sir, we haven't-

the young lady stopped when her monitor suddenly alerted her. "Oh, actually you just received one, sir."

Tensei raised his eyebrow curiously. "Really? Is it from detective Tsukauchi again?"

"No sir, this is actually from UA High."

He froze mid sip when he heard that. He remembered hearing from Tenya when he got home last night there was a security breach at the school. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Uh, I'm not sure, sir. This isn't from the principle, but their homeroom teacher. I haven't opened it yet."

Nodding, Tensei marched through the lobby towards his office. "Forward it to my computer. Thank you." he shut the door behind him and sat at his desk. He pressed the screen on and immediately was met with a new message. "This is from… Erasure head?"

He sat for a minute in surprise when he remembered working with him on that case several years back dealing with the quirk enhancement drug Trigger. He had no idea that he was their homeroom teacher. "Why would he be messaging me?" he questioned before opening the email.

Ingenium,

I am sending this in regards to Kairi Katara. In the days I have been her teacher, there are several things that have come up that have caught my attention. Instead of asking questions over the computer, I request that you come to this campus tonight so we can discuss this in person.

Shouta Aizawa

The email felt like a weight just dropped onto Tensei's shoulders, the hero slumping down and putting his head on the desk. "Shit… maybe this school idea wasn't so good after all."

After she had gotten changed, Katara made her way out with the others and onto the bus taking them to their destination. Sitting down next to Midoriya, she noticed how he was in his school gym clothes instead of the green costume he had on before. "Hey, why didn't you change into your outfit? Don't you want to train in it?"

"Oh, w-well my costume got pretty burnt up in my match the other day…" Izuku blushed and rubbed his head. "… They have to repair it for now."

Iida nodded from across the isle to the answer. "It was pretty bad from what I could tell. You should consider a stronger material for your costume next time."

"Uhh, I don't know. Hehe…" Midoriya awkwardly chuckled as he sweated more. "W-with me not controlling my power yet, I'd rather have a weaker costume so it doesn't get in my way."

From the other side of Midoriya, Tsu chimed in suddenly. "Since we are talking about this I have something I want to say. Ribbit." She looked to the boy next to her. "About you, Midoriya. Isn't your power a lot like All Might's?"

Midoriya's face turned a deep red the moment he heard those words. "WH-WHAT!? D-don't be ridiculous, A-Asui!" He sweated more at the look she gave him suddenly. "Er I-I mean Tsu!"

Katara raised her eyebrow to what Tsu suddenly said. "Wait, what do you mean? How is his power like All Might?"

"Well when he punches it makes large shock waves just like All Might does." Tsu pointed out. "It is kinda interesting. Ribbit."

Looking back to Midoriya, Katara began thinking back to the quirk test and watching his match the other day. The moves he used did seem similar to the times she saw All Might's attacks on television. She didn't know what kind of quirk he had, so she didn't know how to compare it to…

'Wait, what was All Might's quirk?' She suddenly thought to herself. That was something no one knew. Before she could think anymore, Kirishima suddenly interjected.

"Nah they aren't similar, Tsu. All Might doesn't hurt himself like Midoriya does so that makes a big difference."

As the others looked over to the red head, Midoriya silently sighed in relief the conversation got changed off of him.

"I mean I just have this hardening quirk, so it's not really that all great for a hero look." Kirishima sighed as he hardened his arm in front of everyone. Midoriya looked in awe at the act however.

"I think it's a really cool power, Kirishima." Izuku said, earning a nod from Katara.

"Yeah, you were amazing in our match. You should be happy to have a great power like that."

The compliments earned a smile on the red head. "Thanks, but you are the one that has an awesome pro quirk, Katara, just like Bakugo and Todoroki's."

Hearing his name, Bakugo simply scoffed and looked out the window. Katara rolled her eyes at his attitude. "You know a thank you may actually feel good now and then to say."

"Tsk… whatever, I don't need any sympathy, hair loops." Bakugo grunted out.

Katara didn't need to respond as Tsu croaked in. "Sure he is tough, but Bakugo's bad attitude won't make him popular."

Bakugo growled and stood up in his seat. "Watch what you say, frogger! I'll kick your ass!"

"See what I mean?"

"Dude, your personality is like screaming and shit mixed in one." Kaminari chuckled from his seat, smiling at the glare he received from his target.

"Shut up Sparky! I'll kill you too!" Bakugo yelled in frustration. Katara just shook her head in amazement to the angry teen,

"Wow, you really are that stuck up yourself, aren't you?" She grunted as he continued glaring at them all.

"Just shut your mouth hair loops! I'll kill every single one of you bastards!"

Ignoring his now empty threats, Katara huffed out and sat back in her seat. A few moments later, Aizawa turned back to the class.

"All of you shut up now. We have arrived." he groaned as the bus came to a stop. The students all walked off after their teacher to what appeared as an enormous domed structure that towered high above the street.

Katara stared in amazement at the sheer size of the building. "Wow, they had all those areas for the testing and this building? How much money does this school have?"

"They always go beyond for us students here, that is why they are the top school in Japan." Tenya answered as they all walked towards the main entrance. They suddenly stopped when a space suit wearing person greeted them at the door.

"Greetings students, I have been waiting for you all to come!" the hero Thirteen happily announced to them all. Most were excited of course, while Midoriya was practically shivering in glee at seeing another pro in person. Thirteen turned and signaled them all to follow. "Come on, I cannot wait to show you what we have for you inside."

Going through the massive steel doors leading inside, the 1-A class was left speechless to the sprawling interior that seemed twice as big than the outside. The central plaza's fountain was the focal point to the entire facility. Multiple domes were set up between different other zones ranging from mountains and other small ruined city buildings all surrounding a large lake with a ship in the center. It was even more than they ever imagined.

"Wow, look at all of this. It's like there is a dozen places to train. So cool!" Mineta jumped up and down in excitement.

"Now this is something!" Sero added as well.

As the students all chatted about what was to come, Thirteen leaned over to Aizawa. "So I received a call from All Might. Apparently he won't be coming at the moment."

Aizawa sighed to the news. "You mean to tell me he will be late?"

"Yes, he says he will try to join during the end of class."

"You think it will be okay with just the two of us?" Aizawa grunted and turned back to the class. "Alright, time is money. Let's not waste anymore of it."

Nodding, Thirteen turned back to the students. "Now, you have all come to the Unforseen Simulation Joint, which we call USJ. Here you will get the chance to test yourselves in different situations that can happen at any given day. Fire, storms, mudslides, and flooding. This is where we will see what you do in a disaster situation."

Many of the students began chattering in excitement before Thirteen held her hand up to silence them. "Don't get ahead of yourselves now. When using your quirks in battle, that is a big difference than in a rescue situation. Take my quirk Black Hole for example. It is extremely powerful and can absorb anything, but I must be careful for it can harm civilians just as fast as helping. That is where training today comes in for you. You will learn to use your powers for aiding and rescue."

Katara looked passed the pro to the large lake in the center, feeling a small wave of excitement in her chest a hearing they were going to be tested in areas like this. 'Finally, it looks like I get to use a lot of water for once here. This will be exciting.' Her eyes then noticed the large spotlights above begin sputtering on and off.

"Hey, I think someone is messing with the… lights." her voice stuttered when she noticed the strange swirling cloud of smoke in front of the fountain. "What is that?"

Aizawa felt a cold chill run up his neck at the same time, spinning around to see the expanding wall of shadow. "What the hell is this?" he cautiously stated, only for his answer to come moments later. "Thirteen, protect the students!"

Through the center of the cloud, a hand gripped the edge and pulled the host through, his body and face covered with multiple severed hands clutched onto him. He walked through the portal and was immediately followed by several more people. Then, several dozen more began making their way out as well, many of them wielding weapons too.

"What the… I thought we were saving people?" Kirishima questioned out loud, thinking this was part of the training still. "Why are we having to fight and-

"Stay back!"

The students were caught off guard by the sharp tone in their teachers voice, but Midoriya began sweating when he saw Aizawa slipped his goggles onto his face. "Wait, sensei… you only use those when you are serious. Does that mean…"

Adjusting his goggles, Aizawa walked forward between his class and the intruders. "Those are villains."

Katara's eyes widened at hearing that. "Wait, you mean this is real?" she looked back down to the group below as a massive creature suddenly came through the portal as well. She thought it was a type of animal, but the way it moved and wore clothes meant it was some kind of strange quirk someone had. Either way, it made her skin crawl for some reason.

Aizawa glared down at the group still coming inside. "So these people were the ones responsible for yesterday. They used the media as cover to sneak inside."

"Aizawa, something's wrong. I can't get communication to the school all of the sudden." Thirteen yelled out.

"What?" Aizawa questioned, "They must have someone's quirk jamming the signals in and out of here. Damn it."

From the area down below, the large smoke cloud shifted and revealed the yellow eyes of the host. "The information we gathered said All Might was supposed to be here, and yet he isn't."

Shigaraki sighed in annoyance and scratched his neck. "Oh such a shame, Kurogiri. We spend all this trouble gathering these people to join us. Now All Might isn't here to join us." he stopped his itch and looked up to the crowd standing up the steps. "Well, perhaps some of the kids want to come out and play."

Seeing the group staring up towards them, Katara popped her canteen open and prepared to get some water out before her teacher raised his hand in front of her.

"Don't even think about trying anything, Katara." He snapped at her.

She looked up to him in confusion. "What? If they are going to attack us then we-

"Then you need to go and get out of here. I won't let my students get hurt trying to fight real villains." he retorted back. "Go and get out of here. I'll go and stop them."

She glared back at him. "You want to fight them alone? We can help you."

"You are the class rep, that means you are responsible for the safety of the others."

She was about to make another comeback, but she looked back to the others and saw some of them had real fear in their eyes. She almost forgot that many of them had never been in the face of real danger like she had faced in her life. To jump into a real fight wasn't something many of them were ready for yet. While she didn't want to, she looked back to him and nodded. "Okay, I understand."

Nodding back, Aizawa grabbed the cloth around his neck and walked towards the steps. "Thirteen, I leave them to you."

Leaping off the top, the class teacher raced through the air towards the trio of villains standing below the steps. Katara watched as the three seemingly smirked at him coming alone, but were completely caught off guard as their quirks deactivated before being wrapped up the next moment. Katara's mouth dropped in shock as the three villains were spun through the air above and slammed into each other just above Aizawa.

"I didn't know he was that strong…" Katara said to herself as she watched him casually whipped another person through the air with his binding cloths. She knew his power was erasing quirks-

"Katara, come on lets go!"

Hearing her name snapped out of her trance, looking back and seeing the others already running and Iida standing there waiting for her. "Oh, r-right. Coming!" She quickly ran up to his side and both of them ran towards the exit.

"What were you thinking right there!?" Tenya yelled at her. "Were you actually thinking on fighting those villains just now?"

she glared at him as they ran into the center of the group. "What, you expect me to just sit and be attacked?"

He shook his head at her answer. "You haven't changed since that day, have you?"

She remembered her incident with the robbers and the child, shaking her head. "Maybe not, but that is who I am."

Smirking at her attitude, Tenya continued forward before all of the others were stopped by the warping villain appearing in front of them. "Oh no… he's blocked the entrance!"

"All of you, get behind me!" Thirteen yelled as the villain formed in front of them all.

Kurogiri's eyes narrowed down to the frightened students before him. "We are the league of villains. Getting into this school was no trouble for us, your pathetic security made this simple for me."

Thirteen walked forward and opened her finger cap readying her quirk. "You came here for the students, didn't you?"

Kurogiri chuckled and opened his form wider. "The children here are mere appetizers for the main course. Isn't this a fitting place for All Might to take his last breath?"

"All Might?" Some of the students said in shock, amazed villains were trying to actually go for the number one hero. Katara moved her way through a few of the students to try and get towards Thirteen, but suddenly felt a gust rush by her as Bakugo and Kirishima leap forward to attack.

"Wait, stop!" Thirteen tried calling out, her words on deaf ears as Bakugo's blast engulfed the front plaza.

"Ha, you think we are gonna sit still as you try your shit?" Bakugo grinned as he braced himself for another attack. His smile faltered though when the smoke cleared and the dark mist remained.

"That was a close one…" Kurogiri hissed at the two teens before him, his mist shifting around his body, "… But you should be careful children, otherwise someone will get hurt."

"You two, get behind me!" Thirteen cried out, but before they could react the miasma raced out engulfing most of the area, the mist swirling through the students.

"I'll scatter you across this facility, to meet my comrades… AND YOUR DEATHS!"

Katara gasped as the strange mist raced through the air enveloping her entire body. Panic began running through her mind as she felt herself seemingly falling through the ground. "What is this!? What's going on!?"

Tenya saw her situation and tried sprinting towards her. "Katara, take my hand!"

She flipped around at his voice, reaching her hand to him. "Iida!"

He ran with his hand outstretched to his friend as the darkness engulfed her. Tenya swung his hand inside trying to grab her… but his heart sank when he felt nothing inside.

"Katara!"

Falling through darkness, Katara's eyes were clenched shut in fear of what was coming. She braced her body as she felt the mist dissipating around her before it vanished. She fell to her hands and knees onto a cold, wet street to her surprise. She looked up and was met with rain coming down onto her face beneath dark storm clouds.

"Where am I?" she asked herself, looking around to what appeared to be a small city block. She heard groaning behind her and turned to see a familiar bird head. "Tokoyami?"

Shaking his head, Tokoyami stood up and straightened his cloak. "I'm alright, what about you?"

"I'm fine. Where are we, though? What happened?" She questioned him as they looked around.

"This must be the squall zone of USJ. It simulates a hurricane scenario." he answered. "That villain must have had some kind of warping quirk and separated us inside."

Katara shielded her eyes from some of the wind as she looked up to the dark roof above the fake rain hitting her face. She almost questioned how they made this place work if her concern for everyone else wasn't plaguing her mind. "If he did this to us, he must have done it to- look out!"

She jumped and pushed him out of the way as a knife hit the street with a loud crack. She flipped her head around eyeing three villains landing on the ground to their left. "Looks like we aren't alone here." Katara grunted standing back up and opening her canteen. She then heard footsteps and turned around as five more approached as well.

"No, it appears we are not." Tokoyami said as he stood back to back with his classmate. "They had people waiting for us."

"Well lets get through this and find the others."

"Ha, these little brats must be shitting themselves now…" a shark headed man grinned and clenched a steel bat in his hands. "Let's kill them and get our money no-

His words were silenced as a stream of water engulfed his face and slammed him into the building behind him. The other men's jaws dropped as they followed the water back to Katara's arm.

"Not in the mood for hearing you talk." She mumbled and brought the water back over her forearm. One of the other men snarled and ran forward.

"You little bitch, you're gonna die now!"

The mans eyes watched the water on the girls forearm to come at him, but screamed out as a shadowy clawed hand slammed into his chest and crushed him into the ground. The rest of the men once again were in disbelief as they eyed the dark mass sticking out of the bird teens chest.

"D-don't just stand there, let's kill them!" another villain yelled and ran forward, followed by the others all charging in together.

Bracing herself, Katara separated the stream to both hands and whipped outward snatching two men and tossing them across the street. Another tried leaping in the air to strike down on her head, but she simply stepped back and raised her left arm up and blocked herself with an ice shield. "What the? How did-

The shocked villain yelped out as the ice melted instantly and engulfed his arms. Spinning him in the air, Katara slammed him into another incoming man and prepared to whip another grunt before dark shadows hand snatched his leg and through him into the sky.

"Nice save." She chuckled and looked back to Tokoyami.

"Not that you really needed it." he grinned and looked passed her, sighing. "We have more incoming."

Katara turned around and saw more than a dozen people sprinting on the street towards them. Grunting, she gathered her water back and also bended up a large puddle off the street, her water now covering both her arms. "Alright, I can take the ones on the right and you on the left."

"Sounds good. Let's go." Tokoyami walked forward and opened his cloak. "Dark shadow, go!"

The shadowy mass extended out of his chest and launched towards the incoming villains. As Katara prepared her water, she couldn't help but notice the size of the dark bird. 'Did that thing get… bigger?'

Shaking her head, Katara swung her arms over her head and spun around. The water extended out and slammed into three more men like a thick tree trunk knocking them out instantly. A woman with swords instead of hands came through the group and tried attacking her.

"Let's carve that face up nice and pretty!" the woman hissed in joy and slashed forward.

"No thanks!" Katara froze the water on her right arm and swung it up blocking the blade. The crazed woman continued swinging her sword arms over and over again, but the young waterbender casually blocked them with little difficulty. Even as another man changed his hands into what looked like cat claws, his scratching attempts only caught air as he swung with little technique. Katara swiped her hand forward and pointed two fingers upward, forcing the water on the ground to lock both of their feet in place on the street.

"What!? Little brat!" the woman yelled out in frustration as she couldn't move anymore.

Katara sighed and stepped back and wiped some of the rain off her face. She squeezed her hands forming two frozen spheres and launched them into the stomachs of two more incoming men. They gasped out for air and dropped to their knees in pain. They didn't have time to get their breath back before two thick water streams grabbed their chests and slammed them into each other, knocking them out and letting them slump down on the road. Bringing the water back, Katara raised her eyebrow in surprise.

"I thought these were going to be villains. But… they don't even seem to know how to fight." she rubbed her head in a strange feeling of… disappointment?

"These are just street punks."

She turned over to see Tokoyami standing in the center of the unconscious group of villains he was dealing with, his quirk seemingly standing ten feet above him. She eyed the size of it curiously as she approached him, refilling her canteen and keeping a reserve on her arm for later. "Looks like you had no trouble with your group. We should try and get going to the… others?" her words slowed as dark shadow turned its head towards her, its normal yellow eyes carrying a red tint.

"Tokoyami why are his-

Tokoyami flipped around and swung his arm out. "Katara, get back!"

His words came too late as dark shadow swung its claws down towards her. Katara's eyes widened in shock and leaped away just as the hand slammed into the street. She crawled up and brought her water out in front of her. "What are you doing, Tokoyami!?" she screamed at him.

"I'm sorry, it isn't me!" he pleaded as his shadow growled out, its darkened eyes locked onto the waterbender. "Dark shadow, stop!"

Katara stood up and formed several ice spikes around her as dark shadow came closer, its darkened eyes glaring down towards her. She readied herself as the large beast hissed. "V-Villain…you are villain?"

"DARK SHADOW, I SAID STOP!"

Dark shadow's eyes flashed back to yellow at his hosts call, looking down to the girl beneath itself ready to fight. It's head turned back and hunkered to the glare of Tokoyami, shrinking in shame and slithering back into Tokoyami's body. Katara stared in silence while the rain poured down her face. She let the ice fall to the ground and stomped forward. "What the hell was that for!? Your shadow tried to hit me and-

"I am sorry Katara. I hope you are not hurt." Tokoyami whispered in pain.

She was still on edge to what happened, but she could see the look in his eyes and could tell he was ashamed to what just occurred. She slowly approached him and stopped a few feet away. "I-I'm fine. What was that, though?"

He turned away and stared at the ground glaring, water dripping down his beak onto the stone below. "I was afraid this may happen inside here. It's dark shadow."

"What?" she tilted her head in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"My quirk's strength depends on the light. When its day, dark shadow is smaller but easy to manipulate. When it is darker, it's offensive power rises, but at the price of control…" he clutched his chest and inhaled deeply. "… Dark shadow begins to become more aggressive. The darker it is, the more powerful it becomes."

Katara looked up above them and stared to the gray ceiling covering their zone. She had almost forgotten they were inside of a building for a moment, somewhat feeling like they were outside during a stormy day. "The darkness inside here is making it stronger." She said.

He gave a small nod. "The longer I keep him out, the less control I keep over him. I can only use it for quick bursts before I force dark shadow back inside. That's the only way I can make sure it's safe using it in here." Tokoyami gave a bow towards his friend. "I am truly sorry. I hope you can forgive me for what my quirk did to you."

"I'm okay, don't worry." Katara reached and patted his shoulder. "Sometimes your powers can hurt others. I know what it's like to be worried about what your power can do."

Tokoyami chuckled at her words. "Freezing others can be dangerous."

Her smile faded as she wasn't talking about ice at that moment, thinking back to what she can do during a full moon. "Y-yeah. I have to be careful when I- knife!"

She pushed Tokoyami out of the way and threw her hand forward, launching several ice spikes into the legs of two incoming thugs. They yelped out in pain and dropped their weapons as they grasped at the bleeding wounds in their legs. Katara looked up and saw another group of ten villains gathered around them once again. "More of these guys?" she grunted out.

"It seems we won't be leaving anytime soon." Tokoyami sighed and readied himself, only for Katara to raise her hand in front of him.

"No, I'm done dealing with them." she hissed out and walked forward much to his surprise.

"Then let me help you, if we work together we will finish-

"Don't worry about using dark shadow in here anymore…" she paused and clasped her hands together, "… I'm ending this now."

The thrust her hands outward and halted every raindrop within a thirty foot radius in its place. All of the crooks mouths hung in disbelief as they stared in shock to the hovering droplets floating all around them, "Wh-what the hell did she just do!?" one of the goons shakingly screamed.

"I thought these were just kids!?" another yelled out in fear.

Even Tokoyami sat in amazement to the rain dancing midair in front of his face. He looked up above and watched as the gathering water overhead began forming a liquid dome surrounding both them and the criminals. "Katara, how are you..."

In the blink of an eye, the water rushed in towards the two students and created a solid sphere of water around the two of them. The swirling mass became so thick it was impossible to see through before it burst out and smashed all the criminals into the buildings. They had no chance to even react before the water froze instantly pinning them against the stone. Standing tall in the street, Katara's hands came to her front before lowering to her front and taking a deep breath. She raised her hand and brushed the loose hair out of her face and sighed.

"Let's go."

As she ran down the street, Tokoyami sat in amazement as the rain beat down on his head. "That move she just preformed… that was remarkable." he said to himself. What he just witnessed was something truly spectacular, making him chuckle as he ran after her.

"So Katara, if this is what you can do with more water… that means you were holding back against me in our match the other day. I guess it wouldn't have been so close if we were somewhere else."

Several minutes later, the doors to the Squall zone burst open from the thrust of water hitting from the inside. Katara came running through the door first with water draped over her shoulders and Tokoyami right behind her. They squinted for a few moments adjusting to the bright sunlight pouring through the windows before they opened up again.

"Made it." Katara sighed happily being outside of that place.

"Agreed. We should try and find the others fast." Tokoyami said. "If the others dealt with criminals like that then they shouldn't have much difficulty."

Katara did feel worried about Tenya and everyone else, but she nodded in agreement. "They weren't really that strong. How did these guys think they were going to get All Might with them?"

Tokoyami tilted his head as he thought of that. "You're right. It is strange they claim to want to kill him if these men were that easy to defeat."

"Yeah…" Katara looked back forward and saw they were very close to the central plaza. "We should go back. Maybe everyone else is heading there too." She suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder, turning and expecting Tokoyami there. Her heart jumped slightly when she saw the shadowy hand sitting there. "Uhh…"

Dark shadow was in it's smaller form awkwardly tapping its claws together. "My bad earlier. No hard feelings?"

Hearing the shadows apology, Katara huffed and patted its head. "It's okay. No hard feelings."

The shadow bird blushed and cooed lightly before retracting back into it's host. Katara raised her eyebrow and smirked, causing Tokoyami to roll his eyes. "He gets like that sometimes."

"Aww that's adorable. Maybe he takes after his owner." she teased, laughing as his beak turned lightly red. They both ran towards the central plaza. They came around the corner and stopped as they heard more fighting going on. They peaked around the corner and saw Aizawa still battling the main group of villains. They were amazed that he alone had taken out nearly everyone else in the plaza except for a small handful left.

"Astonishing, as you would expect from a pro." Tokoyami said, earning a nod from Katara.

"He is really good. He's taking them out so easily." She added. Her eyes then noticed in the background several heads poking over the edge from the water, two of them a familiar green. "Hey, Midoriya and Tsu made it back too!"

"Really?" Tokoyami looked that direction and saw them. "You're right. It looks like Mineta is with them as well. So that is five of us already."

"Yeah, that is great then. If we are all already here, that means they didn't have much trouble either." She smiled to herself and looked back to their teacher running towards the fountain straight at the hand covered villain. "That must be their leader! If Aizawa Sensei takes him out then this is over."

The two of them watched as Aizawa brought his elbow forward and drilled the villain in the chest, smiling at thinking he delivered a good blow. Their faces changed however when they realized the grotesque looking man had caught Aizawa's strike with his own hand… and where he was touching the cloth and skin began cracking and falling off in chunks.

"What was… what is that?" Katara gasped as their sensei jumped back, his arm hanging limp to his side. It looked like the muscles and raw skin beneath were exposed now to the air. What did he just do to him?"

"I don't know. He just touched him." Tokoyami responded. "It must be some strange quirk he has."

"But what kind of…" Katara's eyes widened as in the blink on eye, the massive creature she had seen earlier suddenly appeared behind Aizawa. "SENSEI, LOOK OUT!"

Her call was too late however, as the beasts massive hand swung down onto their teacher, a spray of blood shooting across the ground and his broken goggles falling to the floor. Katara's mouth trembled as the horrid beast crouched down onto him and slammed its fist into his back several times before it gripped his right arm and twisted it.

Katara felt her skin crawl in horror to the hideous monster that was beating on her classes leader. The tooth filled beak opened and released an eerie screech in the air like a predator over its prey. And deep inside her chest, she felt something growing. A fire building inside that was focused directly on the thing that was causing it.

Anger.

Tokoyami's eyes widened as she rushed passed him and straight into the open. "Katara, no!"

She didn't listen to him, though. Her heart rate was through the roof but it wasn't of fear. Her glaring eyes honed in on the animal hunkered over Aizawa as the water at the end of her covered arms froze into thick spikes.

"Get off of him!" She screamed in anger as ran into the main plaza. "Let him go!"

Turning to the voice, Shigaraki's eye peeked through the fingers covering his face and chuckled. "Oh, does a little brat wish to come play?"

Wincing through his pain, Aizawa struggled to look up from his spot, but he still caught sight of the girl running his way. "K-Katara, get back now!"

She didn't hear his plea. But even if she did, it wouldn't have mattered. All that mattered was there was there was someone who needed her help, and she was going to be there for them.

"I said, let him go!" Katara demanded one more time before she launched an ice spike directly for the monsters heart.

Notes: Phew! more trouble in the future for our heroes. Part one of the USJ attack finished. took me a while to decide who to have her paired up with during the attack, and decided with everyone's favorite bird. Until next week!
