Kirishima was stuck somewhere in the debris in the middle of the school. Everyone was shocked to see Kirishima push Iida out of the way. Even Iida himself was dumbfounded to see piles of debris in his place. His glasses were crooked and didn't know how to respond to this. His friends needed help, but then Kirishima got crushed under debris.

"K-Kirishima!" Iida cried out.

Iida ran over to the collapsed ceiling, trying to rummage through the debris. Todoroki wanted to help him, but needed to keep the ceiling from collapsing even more. Kaminari rummaged through the debris with tears in his eyes. Uraraka ran over to use her quirk, but Skylar's quirk blocked it somehow. She couldn't help him like she usually could. Everyone ran over to help their friend, but the Nomus still had Midoriya in their grasp. Skylar stood there, noticing them all trying to help their friend.

Bakugo's glare locked onto her, which seemed to stop her in her tracks.

But only for a moment.

"Kirishima... N-No..." Midoriya said under his breath, "L-Let go of me! I need to save my friend!"

Midoriya then started coughing again, which didn't help him in this situation.

Skylar turned to him, and Bakugo noticed her looking a bit confused. Something about her seemed sad about something, and he didn't know what. Before he could make sense of it, Skylar shook it off. Soon enough, more Nomus showed up through windows that were already damaged. One of them stopped right in front of Skylar as if it was ready to take her home.

Alya's eyes widened in shock, seeing Skylar take away one of her friends. Her eyes blurred from tears forming under them. She wished that she had contacted Marinette right then and there. She wished that listened to Bakugo and went after her with the portal. She gripped onto her Miraculous, really wanting to do something to help Adrien. She had to do it for her friend who meant everything to her.

"Come on. Let's go home," Skylar said to the Nomus, "We're not welcome here anymore."

Before she knew it, Alya was running towards Skylar. Everyone cried out for her, but she couldn't stop her feet from running after him. Alya kept going, even if she had no idea what to do. She felt tears running down her face, feeling overwhelmed with all sorts of emotions.

"Adrien! I won't let them take you away from us!" Alya cried out.

All of a sudden, one of the Nomus blocked her path. Her eyes widened in shock, feeling chills go up and down her body. She felt herself freeze up when the Nomu went after her. Midoriya cried out for her as he too started tearing up for her. Before the Nomu could do anything, explosions went off nearby. Bakugo launched across the hallway, acting on instinct. Before he knew it, he was in front of Alya and used himself as a shield.

In a split second, Bakugo unleashed all he had onto this Nomu. His explosions went off, and it was so bright that everyone had to look away. Bakugo let out a yell, hoping that this would slow the Nomu down. The heat was so hot from the explosions that everyone could feel it. Before they knew it, the explosions had died down. The bright light faded away, and Alya stood there with her legs shaking like crazy. Once she opened her eyes, her heart skipped a beat seeing Bakugo standing over her.

He looked so worn out that her knees collapsed in on herself. She sat there with tears streaming down her face, unable to comprehend what just happened. Bakugo stood there, shaking from the damage that he took. He had used up all of his ammo just to save her. She covered her mouth, confused as to why he didn't go after Midoriya.

"K-Katsuki! W-Why would you do that for me?!" Alya cried out, "You should've gone after Izuku!"

Bakugo then side glanced at her, catching her off guard. He looked about ready to pass out from using up so much energy. His arms were shaking, and his hands were clenching up but he still stood tall.

"I-I don't know..." Bakugo said to her, "I couldn't let you get hurt..."

Bakugo's Miraculous soon beeped, realizing that he had used up all of his ammo. Soon enough, Bakugo fell to the floor and felt absolutely exhausted. Alya's eyes widened, shocked to see Bakugo help her out like that.

"Katsuki!" Alya cried out and ran over to him.

Skylar looked back at them, but didn't back down. She sat down onto a Nomu's shoulders, ready to be taken away with Adrien in her arms. Midoriya kept trying to fight through the Nomu's grip, but nothing had changed. He stared at Bakugo who was now barely awake. Midoriya's eyes widened in shock, and Bakugo could barely focus on anything else.

He tried to reach out to him and use his quirk, but he could barely let off a spark.

"Kacchan!" Midoriya cried out.

Bakugo could barely hear anything else. All he could focus on was Midoriya and his tear filled eyes. He needed to do something, but he couldn't even get up to help him. His vision was getting blurry, and all he could hear was Midoriya's cry out for help. Soon enough, the Nomus flew away with Midoriya, Skylar and Adrien. Midoriya's voice echoed throughout Bakugo's head as he passed out.

"Kacchan!"


Earlier in Class 2-A's dormitory...

Mr. Aizawa watched all of the Nomus fly away all at once. The rest of his class were so confused and didn't know what was going on. They were handling themselves pretty well considering his best students had taken off to help Midoriya and Class 2-M. He couldn't help but worry about Midoriya and hoped that Bakugo was holding up okay. Whatever was going on with Skylar, he knew that things were soon unfolding with her.

Mr. Aizawa watched the Nomus leaving, and even AllMight stood there by his side. Some of his students were a little banged up, but nothing serious. Yaoyorozu wiped off some dust and got ready to help out her teacher.

"Mr. Aizawa? What's going on?" Yaoyorozu asked him.

"Yeah. Shouldn't we go after those Nomu?" Sero asked him, "I mean, they might come back."

He got closer to the window, hoping that things weren't getting worse before they got better. Then Mr. Aizawa noticed right then and there that they weren't heading out of the school campus. They were heading towards U.A.

Towards Midoriya and Bakugo.

"Shouta?" AllMight said to him.

Mr. Aizawa's eyes widened, realizing that the Nomus were here for the portal. After what Rena Rouge had told them, he knew that Skylar and that hacker were trying to gather information about his class. Not only that, but they clearly were trying to figure out what they were hiding back there. Mr. Aizawa knew right away that they were after the portal whether they knew about it or not. He tightened his fists, knowing full well what was going on in the school.

Before anyone knew it, Mr. Aizawa pushed the doors open. Everyone hesitated to follow him, but knew that something was wrong.

"Mr. Aizawa, what's going on?" Yaoyorozu asked him.

Mr. Aizawa ran along with everyone else, making everyone worry about their friends. Even AllMight tried to keep up, feeling a bit concerned for his successor and students. He never looked back at his students, but knew that they had to stop the Nomus.

"If I'm right, those Nomu are after the portal. Maybe even Midoriya," Mr. Aizawa explained to them.

Everyone was shocked, but AllMight seemed to be the only one who wasn't surprised. The whole class shared looks like they didn't know how they could help their friends out of this one.

"B-But... Mr. Aizawa," Yaoyorozu said with hesitation in her voice, "H-How would they know about One for All? There's no way that they ever find out. Unless Skylar told someone, but she couldn't have known... right?"

Everyone was hesitant to agree with her, but worried about their friends.

"At this point, Skylar could've known all along for all we know," Jirou said to them.

"She's right. Skylar can't be trusted," Sero said back.

"But still. Isn't weird that Skylar knows about One for All? It just doesn't make any sense," Ojiro pointed out.

Mr. Aizawa shared a look with AllMight, and they knew that everything was starting to unravel. They needed to know the truth about what Rena Rouge and Melissa found out.

"The League of Villains know about One for All. Rena Rouge and Melissa found out that the hacker knows about Midoriya's quirk," Mr. Aizawa told them.

Everyone froze, realizing what this meant. What they saw in their dormitory before Skylar left was true then.

"So it's true then? Skylar is one of them," Jirou said to them, "She's working with the League of Villains. That's why those Nomus showed up."

"We trusted her," Tokoyami said to them through gritted teeth, "How could she betray us like that?"

Mr. Aizawa felt bad for his students, but he couldn't let up now. Not when things were finally unraveling. He picked up the pace, causing everyone to as well.

"Mr. Aizawa! What're you doing?" Yaoyorozu asked him, "Shouldn't we come up with a plan?"

"Right now, I just need to make sure everyone's okay and accounted for," Mr. Aizawa said back without looking at them.

Everyone ran swiftly and silently as they got closer to the school. Soon enough, they noticed that there was a giant hole in the wall where the Nurse's Office was. Everyone got chills all over them as they kept running. Mr. Aizawa couldn't stop now and ran towards the damage. No one dared to say anything as they soon ran through the wall. Once Mr. Aizawa entered the Nurse's Office, his eyes widened in shock seeing Recovery Girl struggling to stand up.

"Chiyo!" AllMight cried out and ran to her, "Are you okay? What happened here?"

AllMight helped her up, but she still had a hard time standing up. He got her over to a chair, which helped her settle down.

"Th-There were Nomus... and Skylar... She must be working with them," Recovery Girl told them, "She tried to fight off Bakugo and Midoriya, but then your friend from Paris came by and helped them escape. I thought that Ladybug and her team showed up, but she apparently used her power to trick them."

Mr. Aizawa was impressed with Rena Rouge's composure and power. She was somehow able to stay calm and figure out a plan to get them out of there. He just hoped that things were going to plan somewhere in the school. Mr. Aizawa could tell that AllMight was hesitant to stay with Recovery Girl.

"Go Toshinori," Recovery Girl told him, "I'll be fine. You need to make sure that your students are okay."

AllMight nodded and looked at everyone else. Mr. Aizawa knew that AllMight was ready to help, even if he didn't have his quirk anymore. Then all of a sudden, they felt the school shake. Everyone froze in place, dumbfounded as to what just happened. They all looked at each other, hoping that it was just an earthquake.

"Please tell me that was just earthquake?" Ojiro asked them with sweatdrop on his forehead.

"N-No. That came from upstairs," Jirou told them as she looked around, "It sounded like a tremor as if someone caused it to happen. I think I know where they are."

Mr. Aizawa knew to let her lead them to their classmates.

"You take the lead," Mr. Aizawa told her, "Whatever's going on, we need to be on our guard."

"Yes sir!" They all said in sync.

Jirou nodded nervously, wishing that Kaminari was with them. Then she spotted Yaoyorozu, and she gave her a warm smile. She took a deep breath in and out, ready to lead them. She slowly made her way out of the Nurse's Office, ready for any Nomus around here. Once she noticed that the coast was clear, she waved everyone out of the Office. She headed out of there and headed towards the stairs. It was still a bit far away, but they could feel the school shaking from above.

Jirou got nervous, hoping that she wouldn't run into any Nomu. She used her earphone jacks to sense any Nomus nearby.

So far, nothing.

She kept going, but the shaking wasn't letting up all that much. Jirou could tell where it was coming from as they got closer to the stairs. For a moment, she hesitated knowing full well that they were nearby. Before she could go any further, she heard some yelling from Adrien and maybe Midoriya. Her heart skipped a beat, hearing Adrien sounding a bit betrayed by Skylar. She waited and tried to figure out where it was coming from.

"Anything Kyouka?" Yaoyorozu asked her in a whispered tone.

Jirou put her earphone jack against the wall, trying to figure out where they were exactly. For some reason, she was having trouble tracking their sound waves. It felt like something was blocking her quirk. It really frustrated her that she couldn't even use her quirk properly. Adrien was there, along with Midoriya and Kaminari.

"I can't tell where they are coming from," Jirou said through gritted teeth, "It's possible there's a Nomu blocking my quirk. It sounds like they might be coming from the far right side of the hallway. It sounds like Adrien is upset about something, but I can't pick up on what he's saying."

"Yeah, I can't quite pick up on the conversation either," Shouji told them as he tried to use his quirk.

"That's okay," Mr. Aizawa told her, "As long as you know in general where they are."

"Shouldn't we come up with a plan sir?" Yaoyorozu asked him, "I mean, all of the Nomus are gathering around here. We should come up with a plan before barging in."

"I agree with Young Yaoyorozu here," AllMight said back, "We really should be careful. We may have most of your class here, but we all know how strong these Nomu are."

Mr. Aizawa soon agreed, knowing exactly what he was talking about. He grabbed his elbow on instinct, remembering how painful and strong those Nomu were. He tried to shake it off and focused on the mission at hand.

"You're right," Mr. Aizawa told them, "Yaoyorozu, I need you to create anything that's sturdy enough to capture Nomus. Jirou, I need you to stay in front of us, make sure that we're in the clear. Ashido, I need you to use your acid to keep any Nomu away from Jirou and anyone else that you come into contact with. Sero, I want you close by just in case we need to capture Skylar. Everyone else, be on your guard and look after each other."

"Right!" Class 2-A said quietly in unison.

Jirou nodded and slowly made her way up the stairs. She looked around very quietly just in case they were around the corner. For a moment, she thought one of them might spot her. Thankfully there was no Nomus around.

"Alright. We're clear. Let's--"

Suddenly, there was another big tremor that made Jirou stumble on her feet. Her heart dropped, feeling her legs keel over from the tremor. It was much bigger than before, which worried her a lot.

"Wh-What... What the hell is going on?!" Ashido cried out, the tremor blocking out her cry.

"Someone must've caused a big tremor throughout the school," AllMight told them, "It could be Young Midoriya fighting off Young Garnier."

Mr. Aizawa had a feeling that it was the other way around. Something about it felt less contained and more chaotic which was what Skylar's felt like when she first arrived. He could tell that her quirk was somewhat different compared to Midoriya's even if they were similar in some ways. Even when he used his quirk on her, something about it felt off. He was getting a headache just thinking about it.

Jirou tried to make her way up to the hallway, but the tremor was stronger than she expected. Once she made her way upstairs, she could hear something weird about this tremor. Jirou kept going even if it shook the floors a little. Everyone followed her, making sure that there was no debris falling from the ceiling. She tried to listen through the walls, realizing that the tremor felt like it was spreading. She could hear something cracking alongside the walls from far away, but it was barely noticeable.

"The walls... They're cracking," Jirou told them, "Something's wrong."

Jirou picked up the pace, making sure that no one would spot them. She could hear the cracking get bigger and louder as she got closer. The floor shook, but soon died down as the walls cracked up and over to the ceiling. Suddenly, Jirou's ears hurt from the loud thuds of debris falling from the ceiling.

"What's going on Jirou?" Mr. Aizawa asked him, worried for his student.

"The ceiling... It's falling apart," Jirou told them, "I think they're in trouble."

Before she knew it her eyes widened in shock, hearing someone cry out for Kirishima. She whipped her head around, knowing full well that Kirishima was hurt really badly.

"Something's wrong. Kirishima... He's hurt," Jirou told them, "We need to help him."

Everyone was shocked to hear this and almost ran over to help him. Mr. Aizawa wanted too as well, but he couldn't risk it with all of these Nomus around.

"I want to run in just as much as you do, but we can't risk it," Mr. Aizawa told them, "Just stick to the plan for now. We can't lose sight of what we're doing."

They all nodded, but still felt like running over there to help their friend. Even Jirou felt like she needed to run over there to make sure Kirishima and the others were okay. She even admitted to herself that she hoped that Kaminari was okay. Something about him gave her a bit of confidence, knowing that he was nearby.

Jirou tried to focus on the mission by listening in on the conversation or anything that might help her figure out what's going on. For a moment, she thought that she heard Midoriya crying out for Kirishima. She really wanted to help him, but stuck with her friends and classmates. Luckily, the tremoring stopped, and she could hear them a little better. Whatever was blocking her quirk was still in the way, but she could hear a lot better now.

As they kept walking, Jirou got nervous that they would run into them. It was a big school, and she knew that it might take awhile to get to them. For a moment, she thought she heard Skylar talking about Adrien. Her heart dropped, realizing that he was in trouble. She may have had feelings for him at one point, but things were different now. Still, hearing Skylar talk about taking Adrien away got through to her as she picked up the pace a bit.

"Jirou, slow down," Mr. Aizawa told her, "You don't want to compromise the mission, do you?"

Jirou snapped out of it for a moment, but couldn't fully shake out of this feeling. She was so focused on listening to the conversation, that she didn't realized that the Nomus were around the corner. Her heart skipped a beat as she instinctively jumped back and hid behind the wall. Everyone stopped in their tracks, realizing that Jirou might've gotten caught. She was pale in the face, and her eyes were wide open.

"What is it? Did you get caught?" Yaoyorozu asked her with concern in her voice.

"N-No... I-I don't think so," Jirou said back, "I think all of the Nomus are gathered around our classmates. Adrien... He's in trouble. I could hear Skylar talking about him..."

Everyone could tell that Jirou was nervous for Adrien, and they worried about him. Mr. Aizawa took charge and walked slowly over to the corner of the wall. He peeked around the corner, shocked to see all of the Nomus surrounding them. He could barely see his students, but thought he spotted some of them digging through debris. He caught a glimpse of Iida, which threw him off for a moment. He looked really upset about something as he dug through the debris. He knew right then and there that someone got hurt.

Mr. Aizawa felt his chest ache, seeing his students going through this sort of thing. He had to do something to help them out of this. He turned back to his students, still feeling that ache in his chest.

"What's your plan Mr. Aizawa? Are we still going with your plan?" Yaoyorozu asked him.

Mr. Aizawa hesitated, with threw them off a bit. Something about this situation seemed to bother him, and everyone worried about him. AllMight noticed his eyes looking a little distant and worried about him as well. Soon enough, he shook him out of it. Mr. Aizawa snapped out of it once he spotted AllMight's determined blue eyes.

"Shouta. You've gotta snap out of it. Your students need you," AllMight told him.

Mr. Aizawa turned to his students and tried to shake it off like this was nothing to worry about. He knew that he had step up and help the rest of his students. Even if things were a little rough right now, he couldn't let that get through to him.

Before he could say anything, he and everyone else heard Alya yell at Adrien.

"Adrien! I won't let them take you away from us!"

That caught everyone's attention, and Jirou snuck by to look at her friend. She and everyone else noticed that Alya wasn't in her hero costume, which only scared them even more. Alya was soon faced with a giant Nomu, which caught Mr. Aizawa's attention. Something inside of him snapped, seeing Alya facing this by herself. Before Mr. Aizawa could jump in there to help her, they all spotted Bakugo jumping in to save her. Suddenly, there was a burst of light coming from his gauntlets. Even from a distance it was really bright and made the floor shake a little. Everyone shielded their eyes, shocked to witness Bakugo saving Alya.

For a moment, it was bright and really hot from the explosions. Then it died down as Bakugo collapsed from overdoing it. Everyone was tempted to run over there and help him out. Mr. Aizawa was ready to run in there, but then realized that the Nomus were leaving already. Mr. Aizawa spotted his students still trying to dig out someone in the debris. He wanted to help them, but then noticed that Midoriya and Adrien were being taken away.

"Kacchan!"

"Mr. Aizawa! Midoriya and Adrien are being taken away!" Yaoyorozu told him.

"What do we do sir?" Ashido asked him.

Mr. Aizawa couldn't stop staring at the debris and felt the need to go check on his students that were hurt. Then his eyes darted towards Midoriya and Adrien who were being taken away. He needed to do something, but he couldn't seem to get himself to move. He gritted his teeth, getting frustration with himself.

"Kacchan!"

Right when the Nomus were flying away with Midoriya and Adrien, Jirou ran off towards them.

"Jirou! Stop!" AllMight cried out.

A few other classmates ran after her, but she wouldn't stop running. Jirou didn't look back as she ran towards Adrien and Midoriya. The Nomus were getting away with her friends. Tears fell down her face, seeing Adrien knocked out in Skylar's arms.

"Adrien! No!" Jirou cried out, "Heartbeat Surround!"

Jirou released her amplifier and for a moment forgot that she only had one. It wasn't as strong as she had hoped, but it still hit the Nomu that was carrying Adrien and Skylar. It seemed to bother them, but something wasn't quite right. The Nomu soon turned back to look at Jirou and suddenly she felt her own quirk bounce back at her. Her quirk rang through her ears, making her cry out in pain. The surround sound even pushed her back enough to hit the floor pretty hard.

"Jirou!" Kaminari cried out with tears in his eyes.

Soon enough, Jirou's quirk shut off and the sound wave died down. She got up from the floor with dust in her eyes. Her body ached from the sound wave, but all she could do was watch the Nomus and Skylar take away Adrien and Midoriya. Her eyes widened, feeling tears form under them.

It wasn't from the dust and debris.

"Adrien..."

Another amazing chapter!

I actually really enjoyed this chapter! I realize that these past few chapters have been really long, but I think it's worth it. These fights I wanted to be longer and take a bit of time. There's a bunch of Nomus, of course it's going to take a bit more out of them. I already knew what I wanted to do with this chapter, but I really liked Jirou taking over for a good amount of it. There was a reason for Mr. Aizawa acting like this if anyone knows why. I won't give it away. I know that Marinette and Ember haven't been in it much, but we'll get more of them soon!

What's going to happen next??

More to come soon!
