Bakugo keeled over in pain, witnessing his friends finally showing up for help. He even felt relieved to see Todoroki standing there, but he looked a bit run down. His right side was freezing up, and he was getting icy breath as he kept pushing himself. Kirishima looked a bit beaten down, but kept going. Kaminari had a bit of sparks coming off of him, but didn'd back down from a fight. Uraraka looked a bit green around her cheeks, but couldn't let Midoriya out of her sight. Even Iida looked like he was out of breath, but as Class Rep., he couldn't let Skylar get away with this.
Then they all noticed how badly hurt some of them were. Bakugo could barely get up from Skylar's punches, which shocked most of them. Uraraka's eyes widened in shock, seeing Midoriya unconscious in Rena Rouge's arms.
"Oh my gosh! Izuku!" Uraraka cried out.
Uraraka was going to run over to Midoriya, but that Nomu was still in the way. Todoroki tried to freeze in place, but it broke out of it so easily. Everyone shielded themselves from the ice shattering. Kirishima used his quirk to shield himself and everyone else. Soon he went in for a strike, catching Bakugo's attention.
"Leave my friends alone!" Kirishima cried out.
Bakugo noticed the Nomu's mouth smoking as if it had more fire within him. His eyes couldn't look away, knowing full well that it wasn't done yet.
"Kirishima! Get away from that thing!" Bakugo cried out.
Kirishima went in for a punch, but the Nomu barely reacted to him. As soon as he made impact, they suddenly breathed out fire right in front of Kirishima. He used his arms to shield him from the heat and flames, but it still knocked him back. He cried out from the pain, which caused Todoroki to use his ice side to get rid of the flames. Kirishima felt his quirk fading away, making him collapse from the pain around his arms.
"Kirishima! Are you okay?" Iida asked him, "Your arms..."
"Y-Yeah... I-I'm okay..." Kirishima said through the pain, "Ju-Just a bit burned..."
The Nomu stood up against them as the flames died down. None of them backed up, noticing that their friends were still hurt and stuck. Midoriya wasn't budging as Rena Rouge kept him close. Queen Bee wasn't getting up anytime soon, and Cat Noir was being pinned down by Skylar. Bakugo tried to stand up, noticing that they were still in trouble.
Bakugo then heard Rena Rouge's Miraculous beeping and soon detransformed her into Alya. His eyes widenened in shock, knowing full well that Alya had to get out of there and fast. Alya's eyes widened in shock, but didn't back down or run away from Midoriya. She stayed right there with him holding him close. Skylar locked eyes onto Midoriya and soon pushed Cat Noir into the wall, causing him to keel over in pain.
Skylar's eyes never wavered as she walked over to Midoriya and Alya.
Bakugo tried to get up, but his arms still felt off from her punches back in the Nurse's Office. He gritted his teeth, annoyed that he couldn't do anything about this. He noticed that Alya wasn't even trying to get away from her, which only frustrated him more.
"Alya! Get out of there! Now!" Bakugo cried out.
Alya didn't back down and held Midoriya close to her. Her hands were shaking, but she didn't back down without a fight. Skylar noticed this, which seemed to confuse her. Then she looked at her Miraculous, and Bakugo knew that she was putting two and two together. She squinted at her, making Alya flinch.
"You're friends with Adrien and Chloe," Skylar pointed out, "You have a Miraculous just like them."
Alya didn't say anything as she sat there with Midoriya in her arms. Skylar didn't dare to look at the rest of her friends. Her fists tightened, and Bakugo could tell that she was frustrated with what she has witnessed.
"Who are you? Are you some kind of spy or something?" Skylar asked her, "You come here out of no where along with your stupid Miraculous! Whatever they are, they're part of my father's plans. I won't back down without at least one of them in my possessions."
Bakugo's eyes widened in shock, realizing that there was much more going on with her father. Even Cat Noir and Alya were shocked to hear this from Skylar. Everyone was either confused and dumbfounded as the Nomus got ready to strike.
"Your father? What do you mean your father's plans?" Kaminari asked her.
"Wait a minute, your father is after the Miraculous?" Alya pointed out as she instinctively grabbed hers.
"Don't tell me that your father is one of the League of Villains?!" Iida growled out.
Skylar bit her lip, realizing that she had slipped up. But she didn't back away.
"Nomus. You know what to do," Skylar told them, "I'll handle Izuku here."
The Nomus suddenly went after the others, catching Bakugo and his friends off guard. He noticed that the Nomu nearby was about to hit Queen Bee. On instinct, he shot an explosion at the Nomu and skidded across the floor. Before he knew it, he had Queen Bee in his arms. He barely had any time to stop the Nomu as it headed straight for him. Then Cat Noir flipped over the Nomu and shielded them with his baton.
"Katsuki, is she okay?" Cat Noir asked him with a concerned look in his eyes.
Bakugo looked down at her and noticed that she was stirring around from the pain. He was worried about her and hoped that Recovery Girl could help her out. He gritted teeth in frustration, hoping that things would settle down soon.
"She's okay, but..." Bakugo trailed off, not sure what to do, "I don't think I can do this alone."
Cat Noir couldn't help but smile at his request. Before the Nomu could grab Cat Noir, he managed to dodge it just in time with his cat like reflexes.
"Are you saying that you need my help?" Cat Noir teased, "Wow, I certainly wasn't expecting that."
Bakugo felt a slightly annoyed, but decided to direct it towards Skylar. He noticed Skylar locking eyes with Alya and Midoriya. Something about her seemed more frustrated with the way things are playing out. Bakugo tried to focus on the Nomu in front of him, but noticed Skylar getting ready to strike.
Before Alya knew it, Skylar had grabbed Midoriya by the collar. Alya felt him slip out of her grip, her heart skipping a beat. She held him up high, getting a look at him. Midoriya was still unconscious, but looking a little pale from his fever.
"Let him go!" Alya cried out, "He hasn't done anything wrong to you!"
Skylar squinted at him as if she was contemplating on what to do next. Bakugo didn't know what to do in that moment as he tried to stand up against the other Nomu. He could barely stand up, but pushed himself to face them. But now that Skylar had her hands on Midoriya, he knew that he had to do something. Then she spotted his Miraculous around his belt, which hit him hard.
She was about to take it from him, but Bakugo without thinking blasted towards her.
"Let go of Izuku! Now!" Bakugo cried out.
Skylar locked eyes with Bakugo and swung a punch straight at him. He managed to dodge it and went right for Midoriya. Bakugo tried to grab him, but Skylar wasn't having it. She tried to avoid Bakugo's explosions, but it was a bit much for her. Right when she went for another punch, Bakugo just barely avoided it. Before she could dodge, Bakugo flipped over her with his explosions to grab Midoriya.
Skylar gritted her teeth, feeling her grip around Midoriya slip away from her. Bakugo noticed how angry she looked and knew to get away from her. He ran for it, holding Midoriya tightly.
"I've got you Izuku," Bakugo said under his breath.
Before he could even get away, the Nomu with a fire breathing quirk faced him. In that moment, Bakugo felt his body freeze up from how intimidating it looked. All of a sudden, he felt a strong grip push him against a wall. Bakugo felt like all of the wind was knocked out of him. He soon realized that Midoriya had fallen out of his grip. The Nomu faced Bakugo with smoke coming out of its mouth. Chills ran up and down Bakugo's body, making him feel helpless. Something about this Nomu's quirk however felt awfully familiar.
Before the Nomu could breathe out fire, Kirishima came in with hard punch. He hit him right in the face, causing him to loosen up his grip. Bakugo was soon taken away from the Nomu by Kirishima as Todoroki tried to freeze the Nomu in place.
"I've got you Bakugo," Kirishima said to him, "Are you okay, man?"
Bakugo didn't even care about that right now as he looked up to see the same Nomu holding Midoriya. His heart skipped a beat once he saw him in the hands of the enemy. The Nomu was still smoking from its mouth, but stared at Midoriya very intensely. Bakugo gritted his teeth, not able to get him away from the Nomu. It never looked away from Midoriya, it just kept staring him down like it knew him from somewhere. Whatever was going, Bakugo had a feeling that it wasn't anything good.
"One down, two to go," Skylar said to the Nomus.
Bakugo tried to stand up, but Skylar's punches really did a number on him. Todoroki tried keep the Nomu held Midoriya frozen in place, but it was too strong to be held down. Everyone stood their grounds, but didn't know how to go about this situation. Uraraka had tears forming around her eyes since she couldn't reach Midoriya. Skylar stood tall and locked onto Midoriya who was still stirring awake.
Once he opened his eyes, he came face to face with a Nomu that had smoke coming out of its mouth. Midoriya's face looked pale and was still sweating from his fever. He tried to get away from the Nomu, but its grip was almost impossible to get out of. He even tried to use One for All, but nothing seemed to help him get out of its grip.
"You're finally awake," Skylar said to him, "I didn't think you would. You don't look so good."
Midoriya gritted his teeth, glaring at Skylar and her intense glowing eyes. Then he realized that his friends were either injured or trying to fight her off. Even Bakugo was hurt pretty badly as he gripped his stomach. He tried to speak, but his throat burned so badly that he started to cough. It felt like his throat was on fire, and he couldn't stop coughing.
Everyone was worried about him, including Bakugo. He didn't understand why this was happening to him, but something about it was really bothering him. Skylar locked onto him, knowing that something was up with him.
Then suddenly the Nomus and Skylar got a weird headache all at once. Everyone was confused as to what just happened. Skylar seemed to fight it off more than the Nomus, but soon gave in to whatever just happened. Bakugo knew that there was something else going on with her and had to stop them from getting away.
"Let's go. Take Izuku with you," Skylar said to them in a robotic tone, "You know what to do."
The Nomus listened to whatever was bothering them and took off away from the exit. Everyone was confused as they tried to run off after them.
"Izuku! No!" Uraraka cried out.
"Don't let them get away!" Iida cried out.
Skylar tried to run off, but Cat Noir stood in her way. He looked furious as if Skylar being a traitor was something that he never thought would ever happen. His grip on his baton was so tight that he felt like it was about to break in two.
"Skylar... Why? Why are you doing this?" Cat Noir demanded, "I thought that... we understood one another. I thought that you were my friend."
Something about what he had to say got through to her. She felt that, and the glow around her eyes dimmed down a bit. Cat Noir noticed her become less intimidating and more like herself again. Then something caught her eye, making her fists tighten up.
Everyone was making their way towards her and the Nomus. For a moment, Cat Noir let his guard down and felt a punch to the gut. Suddenly he was grabbed by Skylar, and he couldn't get out of it. Everyone stopped in their tracks, seeing Cat Noir in Skylar's grip.
"No one move," Skylar demanded to them.
They all stood there, worried about their friend and Midoriya. They wanted to run off to go get Midoriya, but Cat Noir was now in Skylar's grip. Skylar then noticed Cat Noir's Miraculous. Her eyes glinted from looking at it and soon grabbed his wrist very tightly. He winced, but his eyes widened seeing her reaching out to take it off.
"No!" Alya cried out, "Leave him alone!"
"Cataclysm!" Cat Noir called out.
Skylar instinctively pulled back before touching his Miraculous, knowing full well what his power is capable of. Alya let out a sigh of relief, but everyone was still on edge.
"Let go of him Skylar. You can't take his Miraculous with his cataclysm activated," Iida told her.
"Didn't you say that he only has five minutes until their Miraculous detransforms them?" Skylar reminded them, "I can hold off until then. Besides, my quirk last way longer than his. I wouldn't be surprised if it started to effect him right about now."
Cat Noir was already starting to feel a bit sluggish from making contact with her. He tried to stay awake, but her quirk was absorbing his energy more than usual this time around. Soon enough his Miraculous energy was also being absorbed, causing his Miraculous to beep early. Everyone didn't know what to do as Cat Noir stood there about ready to pass out.
"Hmm... This Miraculous's energy is so different from quirks. Interesting..." Skylar said more to herself, "I wonder where they came from. My father has been interested in these for a long time you know. It's all he ever talks about."
Everyone was shocked to hear this and didn't know what to make of it. Even Cat Noir who was barely awake was surprised to hear this.
"Wait, so you already knew about them? All this time?" Kaminari pointed out, "Even when Adrien and Chloe told you about them?"
"All this time, you were just playing with us," Todoroki said to her.
"Even back then, this whole time you were following your father's orders?" Iida said to her, "We thought that you actually cared about us. We thought that you actually wanted to be a hero. To get away from your father and be your own person."
Skylar didn't say anything as she stood there. Something about her expression gave everyone chills, but Bakugo noticed something about her. She looked away as if something was bothering her. No one else seemed to notice it except him. Soon enough, Skylar let out an annoyed sigh.
"If you want to put it that way, then yeah. I did," Skylar told them.
Bakugo noticed a sad look in her eyes that threw him off a bit. Before he could figure out what was going on, Cat Noir's Miraculous beeped and detransformed him into Adrien. Plagg came out of his Miraculous, but something his Kwami looked really weak. His Kwami could barely float and collapsed onto the floor. Skylar took off Adrien's Miraculous, which caused Plagg to disappear.
Everyone didn't know what to do since they were worried that she would destroy it. They needed Ladybug to restore anything that's damaged, but she wasn't here. Skylar held the Miraculous and observed it like it was some sort of rare piece of jewelry.
"Hmm... I guess I could take this to my father's lab," Skylar said to more to herself, "Besides, this Miraculous seems useful."
Adrien was barely awake, but knew what was going on. He tried to get his Miraculous back, but felt so sluggish and dizzy from her quirk. All Adrien could do was watch Skylar take his Miraculous and friend away. Her blue eyes glowed intensely as he felt his vision blurring from the effects of her quirk.
"N-No... Pl-Plagg... G-Give me back my Miraculous..." Adrien said, feeling so tired.
Skylar stood there, strong and tall while holding the Black Cat Miraculous.
"Sorry Adrien, but I can't do that. Father's orders," Skylar said back.
Adrien could barely stay awake as he reached out for his Miraculous. Before Adrien could reach it, Skylar let go of him. That caused him to collapse onto the floor, unable to move. Everyone was ready to run over to him, but worried about Skylar taking his Miraculous. Adrien looked up to see Skylar ready to run off with it.
Before she could however, Skylar felt a sting hit her in the side. Everyone was shocked to see Queen Bee awake and trying to use Venom on her. She was breathing heavily, ready to take back her friend's Miraculous. That sting caused Skylar to drop the Black Cat Miraculous onto the floor.
"I've finally got you right where I want you Skylar," Queen Bee said to her.
What she didn't expect was to see Skylar moving. Her Venom didn't effect her like all of the others, which threw her off completely. Bakugo's eyes widened in shock, seeing Skylar able to move freely. She turned around with raging blue eyes staring daggers at Queen Bee. She froze in place, scared of what she might do to her.
Noticing Skylar's quirk getting stronger, Bakugo launched across the hallway towards Queen Bee. Before he knew it, he grabbed the Black Cat Miraculous and used his explosions to push himself towards Queen Bee. Before Skylar could punch her, he slid across the floor and grabbed her. Skylar caused the floor to rumble from her punch and created a giant dent in the school's floor. The cracks spreaded so much that the walls began to rumble as well. It soon hit the ceiling, causing pieces of it to fall towards everyone.
Bakugo grabbed Queen Bee and made sure that she was okay. Everyone else tried to avoid the debris, and even Kirishima tried his best to keep everyone safe. Todoroki tried to freeze some of it in place, but it kept spreading. Alya and Uraraka spotted Adrien lying on the floor, worried about their friend. With Alya unable to do anything, Uraraka ran and activated her quirk on herself. She leaped through the debris and over to Adrien.
Once she made her way over to him, she noticed that he was unconscious.
"Adrien! Wake up," Uraraka told him.
Before she could even help him up, Skylar walked over to Uraraka with intense eyes. Uraraka froze in place, unable to move from her spot on the floor. She was about to stand up to her, but Skylar wasn't playing games anymore. Skylar quickly hit Uraraka a couple of times, making her arms go limp. She couldn't use her quirk to stop her.
Uraraka tried to go after her, but she felt so sluggish and could barely move her arms.
Soon enough, the Nomus came back but only with Midoriya who was still struggling to get away from them. Skylar looked annoyed that they couldn't even do one simple job. Everyone came running over to Uraraka, but debris was still falling from the ceiling. Bakugo noticed the Nomus holding Midoriya as Skylar looked down at Adrien.
Then he realized that he still had the Black Cat Miraculous on him.
His eyes widened once he realized that Skylar was reaching out to Adrien. Uraraka tried to stop her, but Skylar easily punched her out of the way. She then grabbed Adrien by the collar, looking at him such curious eyes.
"I may not have the Black Cat Miraculous, but I'm sure my father would still want to meet you," Skylar said to him.
Skylar then hoisted him over her shoulder, catching everyone's attention. Midoriya tried to use One for All to get away from the Nomu, but they weren't letting up on their grip. The Nomu even sent him an intense glare with smoke coming out of its mouth. Midoriya's eyes widened in shock, suddenly feeling that burning sensation again.
Skylar carried Adrien as debris kept falling from the ceiling. Todoroki tried to keep the ceiling from collapsing, but the ice wasn't holding up. His left side was being overused, which was giving him frostbite. His breath was icy, and he could barely stand up.
"G-Go after... M-Midoriya..." Todoroki told them, "I-I c-can't hold it up... f-for much longer..."
Iida ran for it, but soon the ceiling broke through the ice. The debris was falling towards Iida and one of them hit his engines. Before anymore could fall onto him, Kirishima launched towards him and pushed him out of the way. The ceiling soon collapsed onto Kirishima along with Todoroki's ice. Bakugo's eyes widened in shock, seeing his friend getting badly hurt.
"Kirishima!"
Another amazing chapter!
I like where this is going. I've always wanted there to be some sort of fight between Skylar, the Nomus and Class 2-A somehow. With Midoriya, I knew that it wouldn't be the central part of this fight, but still important. I'm kind of interested to see how this turns out, even with Ember and Marinette. I like where that's going too, I just needed there to be longer chapters with Skylar and Midoriya. Also, this is happening in the middle of the night so not much would happen with Marinette anyway. We'll see!
Class 2-A is in trouble!
More to come soon!
