"Damn you!" Izuku yell as both of their fist collide creating a massive shockwave
The two of them continue the battle of brute strength, but unfortunately the ground beneath Izuku crumble making Izuku to fell to his back while Muscular continue to crush him
"Hahaha! What's the matter?! Getting weaker?!" Muscular taunted as he continue to crush Izuku
'Shit! Even though I want to hold on, my bones won't hold on much longer. Fuck me, he pinned me to the ground I can't move' Izuku though as he try to hold on from being crushed
"Show me your blood!" Muscular yell when he feel a splash of water hit him "What, water?" He ask confuse
"St... stop it...!" Kota yell crying
"Ko... ta...?" Izuku said painfully as he glance the boy
"Later, 'kay? 'Kay? I'll kiil you later, so just wait-" Muscular said when suddenly Izuku kick his face making him to stumble back
"Why yo-" Muscular said angrily but Izuku punch him hard making him to fly back
"I told you to run, kid. But thanks" Izuku said as he look at Kota
"Heheheh, come on, Midoriya! Let's end this!" Muscular yell excitedly but Izuku stay silent
Izuku inhale and exhale quietly for a few times before he inhale a long one while closing his eyes, he then exhale as he glare Muscular
"Come on, hero" Muscular taunted
"Do I know how to throw a punch, you ask?" Izuku ask as he lift his right arm
"Goodbye! Hero!" Muscular yell as he try to punch Izuku but Izuku dodge and get behind Muscular
Muscular turn around but then he see something so terrifying, the most terrifying thing Muscular have ever see and that brings back something that he have forgotten for a very long time, he also see his ultimate fate tonight
FEAR AND DEATH
Izuku punch Muscular hard in the head he send Muscular entire upper body deep to the ground it break the ground beneath them also creating a massive dust cloud around them
Kota shielded his eyes from the shockwave and dust cloud. He only stand there frozen by fear when he remember Mandalay's words from some time ago
"Kota, about your mommy and daddy, Water Hose. It's true they ended up leaving you behind. But they were definitely lives saved because of what happened to them" Mandalay said
"Even though you don't know anything..." Kota said crying as he see a silhouette coming out from the dust cloud
"I'm sure someday you'll meet someone, and then you'll understand" Mandalay continue
"Even though you don't know anything, why did you do so much...?" Kota ask crying
"Someone who'll risk their life to save you... someone who will be..." Mandalay said
'My...' Kota though crying as Izuku walk out the dust cloud and looking at Kota
"Let's get out of here, kid" Izuku said smiling
'My hero...' Kota though crying
Suddenly Izuku about to fall making Kota to run to him but he manage to recover "It's all right" Izuku assure
"You okay? You're bleeding!" Kota yell worried
"It's just a scratch, I'm good" Izuku reply then he look at the burned out forest "We need to go back to the camp house ASAP" He said
But... can you move?" Kota ask worried at Izuku's condition
"I've been through much worse, kid" Izuku reply then he look at Muscular "And don't worry about him, he won't wake up for a while" Izuku said 'Or ever. A broken skull and a mushed up brain is more than enough to make him sleep forever' Izuku though
Izuku then kneel down in front of Kota "Get on my back, I'll carry you to the camp house" He said
"You sure you can move?" Kota ask worried
"Apology for the language, but I've been through much heavier shit that this, kid and I survived. Now hop on" Izuku reply
Kota then get on Izuku's back then he began to jump down the cliff
'You all better survived' Izuku though worried of others
Meanwhile with the students
"You fake heroes who only care about yourselves are targets to be purged!" Spinner yell as he slash his giant makeshift sword at Mandalay but she manage to dodge
'Spinner, even though you're a villain, you're pretty cool. You're face is my type' Mandalay telepath to Spinner making him to stop and blush
"Huh?" Spinner said confuse and blushing
"What're you getting embarrassed about? How innocent!" Mandalay yell as she attack Spinner
"That was dirty trick, you harlot!" Spinner complain
Suddenly Mandalay is being pulled back like Pixie Bob towards Magne "Come here, pet kitty" She said as she pulled Mandalay
But then Tiger punch Magne making Mandalay to stop "I won't fall for the same thing twice!" Tiger yell
"Eraser! Vlad! We'll handle them! You two get the students out of here!" Mandalay ordered
"Ok. Vlad we'll lead the way" Aizawa reply
"Roger. Class A! Class B! Run to the camp house, now!" Vlad King ordered
"Yes, sir!" The students comply
"No you're not!" Magne denied but Tiger get in front of her
"And no you're not as well" Tiger said as the two of them exchange punches
Class A, Class B, Vlad King, and Aizawa continue to run towards the camp house when suddenly the pink mist appear in front of them making them to stop
"Damn, this is bad" Aizawa said worried
"Letting your worry get ahead of you, Eraser?" Dabi ask as he suddenly beside Aizawa
"Vla-" Aizawa unable to finish as Dabi unleash a massive blue fire towards Aizawa
"Aizawa sensei!" Class A yell in horror
Todoroki, Kirishima, Iida, Bakugou, and Vlad King about to attack but they realize something
Dabi extinguish and look up "Well, I guess you are a pro, after all" He said as he see Aizawa dangling on a tree above him. Dabi try to use his quirk but nothing happen
"Nothing's gonna come out" Aizawa said as he activate his quirk then wrap Dabi with his scarf then pull him out before knee Dabi in the face and finish it with tackling him to the ground
"Tell me your purpose, number, and positions" Aizawa ordered
"Why?" Dabi ask
"Because otherwise this will happen" Aizawa reply as he break Dabi's left arm "Your right arm's next. Let's do this logically. If we get to your legs, it'll be annoying to transport you" He threaten
"That was scary and manly at the same time!" Kirishima and Tetsutetsu yell in the same time
"Not the time, idiot!" Both class yell together
"Are you in a hurry, Eraser?" Dabi ask when suddenly he melted
"He melted?!" Toru yell terrified
"He also a clone?" Ojiro ask
"It doesn't matter! We need to-" Aizawa unable to finish as he, Vlad King and a large amount of student fainted by the pinkish mist that surrounded them
"What the?!" Tetsutetsu yell surprise
"The mist?!" Mina yell surprise
"When?!" Sato ask surprise as he close his nose
"Here! Catch!" Yaoyorozu yell as she throw a gas mask to those who still awake
"Thanks!" Awase thanked as he and others wear the gas mask
"When does the mist surround us?" Uraraka ask confuse
"The mist already surround us, just not reach our place yet, but that clone stalled us long enough for the mist to get close to us" Iida explain
"We fell to their trap" Rin said as he carry Bondo on his shoulder
"Hmm? Wh-" Bakugou suddenly transformed into a marble by Compress
"Well, target successfully collected. Good night" Compress silently said as he disappear behind the mist
"This mist, it doesn't feel natural, kero" Asui claim
"Yeah, and it is pink as well" Uraraka added
"This must be some sort of quirk from one of the villain" Shoji said as he look around with his quirk
"Did you see anything?" Kirishima ask
"No, I didn't see anything, but the mist is unnaturally thicker over there" Shoji inform
"Thicker?" Kaminari ask confuse
"If it's thicker then that means that were it came from, in other words..." Yaoyorozu started
"... whoever control this mist in over there" Todoroki finish
Meanwhile Izuku and Kota has reach the camp house
Izuku look around only to see an empty camp house 'They're not here yet?' He wonder s he put down Kota
"Where are the others?" Kota ask
"Looks like the have met a much more heavier resistance than I expected. Let's get in first" Izuku reply as he go inside "Wait here, I'll get my gear" Izuku ordered Kota to stay inside one of the classroom inside the camp house
"Okay" Kota comply
Izuku then run to his room, grab his bag, wear his body armor and reload his M249 before he get out and see Kota "Okay, I'm gonna go back out there and find the rest of them, and I want you to stay here until reinforcement arrive" Izuku ordered
"No! Please, don't go" Kota plead as he hug Izuku tightly while crying
"Kid, listen. I am not gonna die. I will return with the others, you hear me?" Izuku assure
"Promise?" Kota ask sobbing
Izuku pat his head "I'll be back" He assure then he run outside. Izuku turn on his radio "Ranger's QRFs, this is Delta 9-1, do you copy over?" Izuku ask as he run through the forest
"Delta 9-1, this is Metal 0-1, we copy. What's the situation?" Sandman reply
"Messy! Shits happen here and there! What's your ETA?" Izuku reply
"ETA is 7 minutes, Delta" Sandman reply
"You might want to throttle up! We got 10 hostiles with at least Class B quirks and above here!" Izuku yell
"We're going as fast as we can, Delta. You have to wait" Sandman reply
"Might be to late!" Izuku yell
Back to the students, everyone has realize where the mist came from but the question is: What they about to do with this info?
"Okay, so we know where the mist came from, but what we gonna do?" Kaminari ask
"What else! We gonna give whoever created it a smashing blow!" Kirishima yell as he activate his quirk
"I agree!" Tetsutetsu agree with his rock doppelganger
"Don't! We have no idea what his quirk can do either than this mist or even if he is alone" Iida denied
"We could walk into a trap, the risk is too high. The last thing we need is more casualty" Kendo stated
"Other than that we need to carry them to the camp house, we need all the manpower we need" Yaoyorozu added looking at her knocked out classmate
"We also don't have permission to attack the villain. We better stay away from that place and get back to the camp house" Iida stated
"Ok, let's carry them all" Sato said as he carry Tokoyami and Mineta
The remaining students then carry their knocked out classmate towards the camp house, but the closer they get to the camp house the denser the mist became
"Damn! The mist is getting denser and denser" Kaminari said worried
"We barely able to see the trees in front of us" Shoji added
"This is bad" Yaoyorozu said worried
"Yeah, we don't know where we're going" Kendo said
"Not just that. There's a limit to the gas mask's filters, the denser the mist, the shorter the functioning time" Yaoyorozu explain
"So how many minutes we have left?" Awase ask
"With a mist that dense? Around 5 minutes I think" Yaoyorozu reply
"We need to move fast before the gas mask ran out of time" Iida ordered
"Move where? We can't even see 2 meters in front of us" Kaminari ask
"Move... uh... move..." Iida unable to reply
"Damn it! I'm gonna handle the mist! You all stay here!" Tetsutetsu yell as he run to the center of the mist
"Tetsutetsu!" Class B yell surprise
"Wait! Don't go!" Iida yell
"Don't worry! I'll take care of it!" Tetsutetsu yell still running
"I'm coming with him" Kendo said as she chase Tetsutetsu
"Kendo?!" Awase yell surprise
"No! Don't go! We need to stick together!" Yaoyorozu yell
"And we have no permission to fight! Come back, you two!" Iida added
"Just look after them, we'll be back!" Kendo yell as she disappear in the thick mist
"Damn it!" Iida yell frustrated
"I'm going to!" Kirishima yell but Iida hold him back
"No! I cannot allow anyone else to go!" Iida denied
"But they need help!" Kirishima argue
"We have no choice but to trust the two of them, in the meanwhile we need to carry them to the camp house before the gas mask ran out fillers" Iida explain
"Come on, Kirishima" Mina said touching his shoulder
"Okay..." Kirishima agree downhearted
Meanwhile Kendo manage to chase down Tetsutetsu "Tetsutetsu, wait!" She yell
"Kendo?! What are you doing?!" Tetsutetsu ask surprise
"I'm the one who should ask that, idiot! I'm helping you" Kendo yell annoyed
"Okay then" Tetsutetsu agree then they two began to run deeper inside the mist
"You sure about this, Tetsutetsu?" Kendo ask worried
"Shiozaki, Bondo, and other classmates suffered because of this mist. I hate this! Stuff like this pisses me off!" Tetsutetsu yell angrily
'You maybe simple minded and didn't think ahead, but..." Kendo though
"Let's do our best, Kendo!" Tetsutetsu yell
"Yeah!" Kendo reply 'I don't dislike that part of you!' Kendo though smiling
In the middle of the mist, Mustard is standing there while controlling the gas "Heading straight toward me are three... two people?" Mustard said
"I guess there are those who notice and can make it though, huh? As expected of a prestigious school. But it's sad. No matter how wonderful the quirk..." Mustard said when suddenly Tetsutetsu jump from his side
"Found you...!" Tetsutetsu yell as he prepare to attack
"... they're still human, huh?" Mustard said as he pull out a revolver and shot Tetsutetsu
"BANG!!!" The gun shot echo the air around the camp site
"Is that a gunshot?" Kaminari ask confuse
"Yeah" Shoji reply
"Midoriya?" Todoroki wonder
'The hell? A gunshot? The QRFs haven't arrive yet. Shit! One of the villain have a gun!' Izuku though worried as he run faster towards his classmate
"Oh yeah, I saw you during the live broadcast of the sport festival. There were guys who could turn hard. A gun won't work, huh?" Mustard said as Tetsutetsu's mask broke by the bullet
"But well, it doesn't matter. Because it's just a matter of how long you can hold your breath in this gas" Mustard said as he aim at Tetsutetsu
'Seriously, a gun? And aiming for my mask, too! What's with this shorty, anyway? A school uniform? So he's about the same age as me or maybe even younger?' Tetsutetsu though as he hold his breath
'Don't underestimate me!' Tetustetsu mentally yell as he run forward only to be shot again
"Are you pretending to be the Terminator? Even if you can harden yourself, you're charging in? Give me a break. You go to a prestigious school, right? You're smart, aren't you? Will you use your head a little? If you don't, you're not worthy my time" Mustard mock as he try to shoot Kendo but Tetsutetsu block it
"Tetsutetsu!" Kendo yell worried as Tetsutetsu's metal skin is cracking and bleeding
"It's no good! Retreat!" Tetsutetsu yell painfully
"Hahahahaha! Two against one, with one of you hiding for a surprise attack, right? That's weak! Such a weak plan!" Mustard mocked
"Tetsutetsu, you're bleeding!" Kendo said worried as she check his forehead
"It's fine! Retreat!" Tetsutetsu assure
"This gas is produce by me and controlled by me. it's telling me your movement directly with it's fluctuations. In other words, you can't hide from me!" Mustard explain as he produce more gas
"Why can't you figure that out? You go to U.A., right? Don't ruin my image of it. That's why you're being attacked like this now" Mustard mocked
Tetsutetsu then run forward "Wait!" Kendo yell but unfortunately he is shot again and thrown away
"Huh? Aren't you softer than were before? Is metal fatigue or something?" Mustard ask as he shot Tetsutetsu multiple times when suddenly the gas began to move violently
"What the?" Mustard ask confuse
"Take this!" Kendo yell as she enlarge her arms and move the gas around
"The gas is being blown away! What happen?!" Mustard ask confuse as he shielded himself from the wind
"Carrying a gun like that is like saying you're not confident in a fight!" Kendo yell
"... why do I feel someone just insulted me" Izuku said feeling like being insulted by someone
"Damn you!" Mustard yell as he try to aim but then he notice Tetsutetsu behind him 'The gas got thinner, so I didn't realize...' Mustard though as he try to aim Tetustetsu, but it's to late
"GRAAAHHH!!!" Tetsutetsu yell as he punch Mustard to the ground breaking his own gas mask and knocking him out
"The gas... is dispersing..." Kendo said as the gas around them began to disperse
"If a gas user is wearing a mask, then you have to break it, right?" Tetsutetsu said but then he fall to the ground
"Tetsutetsu!" Kendo yell worried as she approach him
"Hehe...we won..." Is all Tetsutetsu said before he fell a sleep
"Good work" Kendo said as she stroke Tetsutetsu's hair
Meanwhile with the students
"Hmm?" Kaminari look around and notice the mist is dispersing "Hey! The mist is disappearing!"He yell
"You're right. Kendo and Tetsutetsu did it" Awase said happily
"Should we wait for them?" Yui ask
"No, we should move to the camp house. I'm pretty sure they also going there immediately" Iida reply
"Okay, let's g-" Ojiro didn't finish as a Nomu suddenly jump put from the forest and heading straight towards Yaoyorozu and Awase. The students freeze dead in their track unable to move as they see the beast heading towards Yaoyorozu and Awase
Todoroki about to launch an ice when suddenly "TATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!!!" A loud continuous gun shots echo in the air and the bullets hit the Nomu making it to be thrown away from Yaoyorozu and Awase
The students are surprise by what just happen then they look at where the sound came from and see Izuku holding his M249
"Midoriya!" Class A yell in relief
"Get down!" Izuku ordered then he fire again "TATATATATATATATATATA!!! TATATATATATATATATATA!!! TATATATATATATATATATA!!! TATATATATATATATATATA!!!" Izuku fire 4 short burst at the Nomu making it to shriek in pain
"GRAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" The Nomu shirek before it fall to the ground
"Is it dead?" Sato ask when Izuku approach the beast then "TATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!!!" Izuku emptied his magazine directly to the Nomu's head
"Haaaa... haaaa... haaaa... haaaa.... He's dead" Izuku confirm as he get away from the Nomu and reload the LMG
"Uh... ah... eh... yeah... yeah it's dead..." Kaminari said nervously as others who see it
"Is... is that really uh... necessary...?" Mina ask trying not to puke
"Better safe than sorry" Izuku reply calmly
"I don't feel so good..." Sero said before he puke
Izuku sake his head "The Pussycats?" He ask
"Huh? Oh, they're still fighting in the test of courage area" Iida reply
"Kendo and Tetsutetsu?" Izuku ask again
"They went ahead and deal with the mist. Looks like they succeeded" Awase reply
"And Bakugou?" Izuku ask
"Bakugou?" Kirishima ask confuse then start to look for Bakugou
"Where's Bakugou?" Kaminari ask confuse
"I think he's in here. I never see him leave" Sato claim
"Did he go after Kendo and Tetsutetsu?" Iida ask worried
"Wait... now that I think about it... when does the last time you all heard him speak?" Kirishima ask in dread
"We... we didn't hear him at all..." Uraraka realize
"Don't tell me... wide map! Scan!" Izuku yell terrified then he see 6 dots in the test of courage area, 2 dots 150 meters south of them, 1 dot inside the camp house, and 6 dots 400 meters west from them in the middle of the forest "Bingo! I located Bakugou!" Izuku yell
"Where?" Kirishima ask
"400 meters west. Looks like he's been taken by the villains" Izuku reply
"What?!" The students yell surprise
"He's taken?! Sero yell surprise
"You mean he's kidnapped?!" Kaminari ask surprise
"Most likely, I have acquired solid intel that they want Bakugou, and looks like they succeeded" Izuku explain angrily
"Why?! Why would they want him?!" Kirishima ask confuse
"I don't know, but Kirishima! Iida! Todoroki! You three with me! The others, go back to the camp house and wait for reinforcement!" Izuku ordered
"Wait, Midoriya! You didn't mean..." Kaminari said terrified
"This is not a debate or a request! It's a fucking order! Go to the camp house, now! Move!" Izuku ordered sternly
"Come one you three! Let's save that blond dynamite!" Izuku ordered as he run to the west
"Yeah!" Kirishima yell as he, Iida, and Todoroki run with Izuku
"Midoriya, you sure about this?" Iida ask concern
"Obey my orders, Iida. Also you three are clear to engage" Izuku reply
"Wait, Midoriya. You di-" Iida try to argue but Izuku cut him
"This is not a debate, Iida! We are not gonna let them take one of ours!" Izuku yell angrily
"Damn right, Midobro!" Kirishima agree
"We're not gonna let the villains win" Todoroki claim
"You're right, I'm sorry. What you want us to do?" Iida ask
"Iida, you run while carry me. Todoroki, you slide while carry Kirishima. I'll guide you all to where Bakugou is" Izuku ordered
"Yes, sir!" The three comply
'Hang in there, Bakugou. We're coming' Izuku mentally declare
