20:12 p.m., 5 minutes before the terrorist siege
Kaminari and Kirishima just exited reception hall and heading to the toilet
"Man, those French toast are delicious!" Kaminari claim
"Yeah, bro! They are as delicious if not more delicious than the ones Lunch Rush made" Kirishima agrees in excitement
"By the way, I haven't seen Jiro yet" Kaminari realize
"Ah, Ashido also not here as well" Kirishima added
"Where do you think they are?" Kaminari wonder
"Uraraka and Yaoyorozu said that they need some time to prepare before the party" Kirishima said
"Prepare what? Didn't they just need to wear some fancy clothes and attend the party?" Kaminari said confuse
"That's an unmanly way to understand girls, Kaminari!" Kirishima yell surprising Kaminari
"What?" Kaminari said confuse
"Girls have a lot more thing to be prepared before they could attend a party. To understand that and to be patient for them is manly!" Kirishima declare
"Uh... sure..." Kaminari sweatdrop as he don't know how to deal with Kirishima's behavior
Suddenly, a "ting" noise is heard by the boys, they look behind and see the elevator door behind them open and both Jiro and Mina exited the elevator with their fancy dress
Jiro wears a pink dress but also wearing her signature jacket with her
Mina wears basically a dress version of her hero costume and also wear her jacket as well
"Uwoh! Jackpot!" Kaminari cheer excitedly upon seeing the two girls
"Oh, so you two finally arrived" Kirishima said smiling
"This is much fancier than anything I ever wear before. I felt uncomfortable" Jiro claim as she hide behind Mina
"Nonsense! I have to choose a cute dress for you! The only thing that is uncomfortable is your jacket!" Mina yell annoyed
"You also wear your jacket!" Jiro claim annoyed
"This is basically a dress version of my costume. What's your excuse?" Mina ask
"Okay, ladies. No need to fight over what you wear" Kirishima calmed them down
"Yeah, you two look good already!" Kaminari claim
"Shut up!" Jiro yell embarrassed
"Wow, I don't know you have a dress version of your costume, Ashido!" Kirishima said intrigued
"Yaomomo create them for me" Mina explain before she spin around in front of Kirishima "So how do I look?" She ask
"You look beautiful!" Kirishima without second thought yell wholeheartedly
"He he he, thank you" Mina said smiling when Melissa approach them
"Oh? So you two have arrived" Melissa look at Mina and Jiro
"Yep! We're ready for party!" Mina claim excitedly
"Ugh, I just want to spend time at the hotel room" Jiro said annoyed
"C'mon, don't be like that. Everyone is having fun" Kaminari claim
"Well I'm not. I don't want to wear this ever again" Jiro said annoyed
"But you look cute in that Jiro" Melissa smile
"See! You are cute in that, Jiro!" Kaminari yell excitedly
Blush creep into Jiro's face "B-Baka!" Jiro earrape Kaminari
"WHY?!!!" Kaminari yell in pain
"Sigh, such a tsundere" Mina shake her head while Melissa giggled
Suddenly an alarm is heard surprising the five
"This is an announcement by the I-Island security system. We have receive a report from the security system that several explosive device was placed across the I-Expo area" The speaker announce
"A bomb?" Kirishima said surprise
"That's impossible. I-Island have the world's top security system, there's no way anyone could smuggled a bomb" Melissa claim when the window around them began to be shielded by metal shutters
"What happen?!" Kaminari yell surprise and confuse
"A lock down procedure. But a bomb threat wont make the metal shutters to be deployed. Something is wrong here" Mellissa said surprise
"Obviously" Mina stated the obvious
The windows are finally is shielded by metal shutters and the emergency alarm continue to beep
"So what now?" Jiro ask worried
"Let's go back to the re-" Kirishima reply when he is cut by an elevator door opening, the 5 of them look back and immediately hide when they see the people exiting the elevator carrying guns
"Are... are those people carrying... guns?" Jiro said surprise
"I think they are. We spend a lot of time with Midoriya to know what a real gun look like" Kaminari claim
"And they're definitely a real gun" Mina claim
"And people who doesn't look friendly" Kirishima added
"H-How...? There's no way anyone could breach I-Island security" Melissa gaped in shock
"We said the same thing during U.S.J. attack, and yet we are breached" Kaminari claim
"During U.S.J. there was a jammer. Do you think they jammed the security?" Mina wonder
"No. They can't jammed the security system, they can't even be hacked. The system is impossible to be jammed or hacked from the outside" Melissa claim
"Then how about from the inside?" Kaminari suggested "How about hacking from the inside?" He suggested
Melissa look at Kaminari in surprise, but before she could say anything they hear the people who exited the elevator yell from the reception hall
"It's just as you heard. We have taken over the security system. Don't think you're going to put a fight. If you do... then the security bots will bare their fangs at all the good people on this island" Someone threaten making the people in the hall to gasp "That's right. All the people on this island are hostages. Of course, you all are, as well" The person added
"I think that confirms that they hacked it from the inside" Mina said worried as the other 4
"This is bad. Whoever they are, they manage to take control all of I-Island system. As long they have control then the heroes will have a hard time fighting back" Melissa claim worried
"Why is that?" Kirishima ask
"I-Island maybe doesn't have restriction on quirks, but we have devices that can restrain anyone with any quirk. This is as a security measure for anyone who tries to bring chaos in the island" Melissa explain
"So that means the heroes inside the reception hall are..." Mina said dreaded
"Restrained by the security device" Melissa confirm worriedly
"I'm going to ask this again" Jiro swallow her saliva "So what now?" She ask worried
"First, we need to hide. Then we'll figured out what to do next" Kirishima suggested. The 4 of them agrees then they began silently move to a secure location
Inside the reception hall
The terrorists continue to keep the hostages at gunpoint, making sure none trying to do anything stupid
"Don't worry. If you stay quiet, you will not be hurt. We are prepare to release some of you when the time comes" Wolfram assure
"What are you after?" A pro hero ask before Wolfram kick his face making the hero to fall down
"Didn't you hear me? I say stay quiet" Wolfram said before he receive a call on his radio "Oh right, got it" He said when he spotted Sam
"You're a researcher her, right?" Wolfram ask Sam
"Y-Yes" Sam reply terrified
"Take him" Wolfram ordered his men
"What in the world...?" Sam said terrified
"Stop! He is my assistant. What do you plan to do with him?" David ask as he approach Wolfram
"Ah, if it isn't the famous David Shield" Wolfram smirk "Take him as well" He ordered his men
"And if I refuses?" David ask
"Then somewhere on this island, someone's scream will ring out" Wolfram smirk wickedly
David grimace but he is unable to do anything "Fine. I will go" He said defeated
"So you just gonna leave us after doing all this stuff to us?!" Bakugou yell angrily
"Bakugou...!" Sato said dreaded
"What are you doing?!" Sero whisper yell
"Don't make this even worse, Bakugou!" Iida whisper yell
"Oh? And what if I did leave? What you going to do? Fight me?" Wolfram taunted
"I will once I get out of this stupid rope!" Bakugou roar
"Bakugou...!" Aizawa whisper yell trying to make Bakugou to shut up
Wolfram signaled his men near Class 1-A and some the terrorists point their guns at Bakugou
"Hah? You think I'm afraid with some useless guns?! Don't look down on me, mask freak!" Bakugou yell unaffected by the riffles pointed at him
"That's because Izuku Midoriya pointed his gun at you all the time, right?" Wolfram ask making Class 1-A to tense as they remember Izuku is not with them at the party
Class 1-A began to calm down and think that Izuku will come and save them sooner or later
"Before you think that he'll come to you. You better stop that thinking, because we know he's here, and we're sending a killer squad to kill him" Wolfram claim
"You can't kill him that easy" Uraraka claim
"Oh? Why is that, miss?" Wolfram ask as he approach Uraraka
Uraraka tense up when Wolfram approach her
"Don't come to her!" Aizawa yell but Wolfram kick his face
"Sensei!" Class 1-A yell worried and angry
"I'm asking you a question, miss. Why we can't kill Izuku Midoriya?" Wolfram ask again
Uraraka look at Wolfram with a determined face "Because people stronger that you have tried, and they fail. Midoriya will always survived, even under extreme circumstances" Uraraka claim confidently
Wolfram look at Uraraka coldly for a while before he began laughing. The hostages are bothered by Wolfram laughing "We'll see about that. And if I succeeded, then I'll be the first who take your boyfriend's life" He claim before walking away from Class 1-A
"Take them away" Wolfram ordered his men then Sam, and David exited the hall with some terrorists escorting them
"Oh God, that's a close one" Toru sigh out in relief
"Are you okay, Aizawa sensei?" Ojiro ask worriedly even thought neither he nor any of Class 1-A could actually help Aizawa
"I'm fine. Bakugou, don't do that again. That is the most irrational thing to do in a hostage situation" Aziawa glare at Bakugou
"Tch! I can't just stay here and do nothing!" Bakugou argue
"Unfortunately, that is the only thing we could do right now" Aizawa said
"You think the villains have everyone?" Mineta ask horrified
"Unless you didn't see, we all are tied up, Mineta" Todoroki nonchalantly said
"I know that! But Kirishima and Kaminari are not here" Mineta pointed out making the class to look around and realize he's right
"Not just them, Jiro and Mina are also not here" Toru added
"Mina and Jiro need more time to do makeup, that's why they're late" Asui said
"And I think Kaminari and Kirishima went to the toilet earlier" Sero said
"Did they get caught as well outside?" Iida wonder worriedly
"I don't think so. If they did get caught, they will be send here with us" Yaoyorozu argue
"Then there's a high chance that they are still outside and probably went hiding" Iida said
"Ah, Melissa also went outside to go to the toilet earlier as well" Uraraka remember
"So there's 5 of us outside" Shoji said
"Don't forget, Midoriya's also outside as well" Todoroki pointed out
"That's right. As long the five of them manage to meet with Midoriya then they're safe" Iida claim
"And it would be a matter of time before he'll save us as well" Uraraka said happily
"He always save us, he do it all the time. And even thought we are dependent on him all them time, he's the best choice we have" Tokoyami claim with the class agreeing
"I think that's the only choice we have" Aizawa said
"Tch!" bakugou click his tongue in annoyance as he needed to be saved by damn guns, again
"Stop whispering with each other! Shut up!" A terrorist yell at Class 1-A making them to shut up
'There's no other choice other to wait, I hope you didn't do anything stupid until then, All Might' Aizawa thought as he look at All Might who in deep thought
'Will I be able to defeat the villains and get the security system to work again? I have my full strength in this body since it was healed up, I need to do this. Because I am here!' All Might thought when he look up and in his surprise, he sees Kaminari and Jiro on the floor above them 'Y-Young Kaminari!'
"All Might's noticed us. Go ahead, Jiro" Kaminari told Jiro
"Okay" Jiro then jack her earphone jack to the floor
"You can talk to us. We're listening" Kaminari hand signaled All Might
"Can you hear me? Villains have take control of the tower. They took control of the security system, and everyone on this island are hostages. All the heroes have been take, as well. It's dangerous. Get away from here as fast as possible" All Might told Jiro
"Th-This is bad, Kaminari" Jiro said worried
"I know that, but how bad?" Kaminari ask
"Just like Melissa predicted" Jiro said worried
"...uh oh..." Kaminari stare at Jiro's face before looking down in despair
Later
"So what I predicted is true..." Melissa said in horror
"If those devices is as you describe, then we'll have a hard time fighting them" Kirishima claim
"Are you sure they're immune to my acid?" Mina ask desperately
"Unless your acid is as strong as molten lava, then I'm afraid it will barely slow them down" Melissa explain
"Ugh, why did they make it so tough!" Mina complain
"The devices that supposed to protect us are now became a threat for us" Melissa said worriedly
"And this is the third time I ask this. So what we do now?" Jiro ask
"I think we should escape like All Might told us to do" Mina said
"I'm afraid it's not that easy. The whole tower is under lock down, there's no way out until the lock down procedure is lifted" Melissa said
"Then we just need to break our way out!" Kirishima claim as he slam his hardened fists together
"No, no we can't" Melissa shake her head "This place it build with the same level of security as Tartarus prison and the US's Pentagon. Escaping is impossible" Melissa explain
"Then, all we can do is wait until help comes..." Kaminari said in despair
Jiro then stand in front of Kaminari "Kaminari, are you okay with that?" She ask
"What choice do we have?" Kaminari said in despair
"You don't feel like you should stop them?" Jiro ask
"You heard what Melissa said, there's no way we could stop them as long they have control of the island's system. And even if fight them, they have the devices that simply immune to our quirks and don't forget, they are using guns as well" Kaminari said in despair
Kirishima thought for a while until he heard Kaminari said "guns" 'Guns? Guns...?' Kirishima thought before he realize it "Midoriya...!" Kirishima then look at everyone "Midoriya's still out there. He's not inside, he's outside the tower" Kirishima pointed out making the group to remember that Midoriya have work outside making him unable to attend the party
"Kirishima's right, Midoriya is outside. If we could meet him then we could stop the villains" Mina said with hope restoring in the group
"But the fact still the same, that the tower is under lock down. No one can go in or out without being detected" Melissa pointed out
"I'd say we'll find a way to help Midoriya get in the tower" Mina said
"Or find a way to send a distress call to the outside world. Since the whole island is under villain control, we can only send help from the outside world and hope anyone could send help" Kaminari suggested
Melissa thought for a moment "I think we could do both. But either of them have high risk, any wrong move or if we are detected, they will restrain us" Melissa said
"Or worse" Kaminari shudder
"Ok, we understand the stakes" Mina swallow her saliva "So we split up and do both of them?" She ask
"I think it would be easier to call for help" Jiro said "Even if we make a way for Midoriya to enter, if we cannot contact with each other then he'll never know what we're planning. So I think we should make a distress call first while also try to make contact with Midoriya" Jiro suggested
"That's a good idea. We need to contact Midoriya first then he will told us what exactly to do in order to slip him inside the tower. Since I'm sure he'll have a better plan than we are" Kirishima agrees with Jiro
"Yeah, and I'm not that good with strategies" Kaminari said embarrassed
"Not just you. I admit that myself and I think the 5 of us know little about combat strategies" Jiro reluctantly agree
"Those who are good in our class are Iida, Yaoyorozu, sometimes Todoroki, occasional Bakugou, and of course Midoriya" Mina listed the people on Class 1-A that could make good combat strategies
"Well, 4 out of 5 are restrained downstairs. So Midoriya's our best bet" Kaminari claim
"Then it's been decided. That we will make a distress call and make contact with Midoriya" Kirishima declare
"Then where we supposed to go?" Mina ask
"I-Island's security system is on the top floor of this tower. If the villains have taken control of the system, then the authentication locks and passwords should have been disabled. We should be able to restart the system" Melissa explain
"Can you do that? Restart the system?" Kaminari ask
"I can. We just need to get away from the eyes of the villains and get to the top floor... we could save everyone" Melissa reply
"What do you mean by "get away from the eyes of the villains"? How?" Jiro ask
"Currently, none of us have actually been harmed. I think the villains aren't used to working with the security system" Melissa explain
"Then, in that case, we could do this, right?" Kaminari ask excited
"Yeah!" Jiro reply confidently
"Then let's go!" Mina cheer
"Yeah!" The 5 of them comply
200th floor, Top Floor, Control Room
The terrorists with David and Sam reaches the control room
"I brought him" The terrorist inform
"Hurry up and unlock the vault" A terrorist controlling the control tower ordered
The terrorist open his helmet "Acting so high and mighty..." He said annoyed before transforming his arm into a large blade "You heard him. If you don't want to die, then hurry up and do it" He threaten David
"R-Right" David forcefully comply as they being escorted to the vault
Kirishima, Kaminari, Mina, Jiro, and Melissa meanwhile, are running up on the emergency stairs, trying to get to the top floor
"80th floor" Kirishima said as they reach the 80th floor
(The reception hall in this book is on the 50th floor)
"Wait, Melissa. How high does it goes?" Jiro ask
Melissa pant a little "200" She reply
"Say what?!" Kaminari yell shocked
"We barely halfway" Mina complain
"But this is better than running into villains" Kirishima claim before they run up again
90th floor
100th floor
110th floor
Mina realize Melissa is slowing down "Melissa, are you okay? Do you want to take a rest?" She offered
"I'm fine, thanks anyway. I'll right behind you" Melissa said then he throw off her high heels and began running up the stairs
120th floor
130th floor
140th floor
When they reach the 140th floor, they are met with a dead end as the path has been block off
"Our route's blocked" Kaminari said surprise
"What should we do? Break through it?" Kirishima said panting
"If we did that then they'll know we're here and send someone to catch us" Melissa denied
"Then what about this door? Can we go out here?" Jiro ask
"They'll know that we open that door as well" Melissa denied
"So that means we're stuck. We can't go anywhere without being detected" Kaminari said tiredly
"So we climb all this way just to be block off? Don't joke around!" Mina complain tiredly
Melissa look at the group and see that they all are tired, they maybe training to be heroes, but they still human nonetheless "I think we should take a rest first before we decide what to do next" She suggested
"We can't. There are people relying on us to get that distress call" Kirishima denied
"We're too tired, and fatigue could decrease our working performance drastically" Melissa claim
"We're fine" Kirishima declare
"Once you ran out of adrenaline you will be affected really hard by the fatigue. We need all of our energy if we encounter with the villains. Also, we haven't figured out a way to get out from here without being detected" Melissa explain
"So take a rest and also figured out to get out of here undetected?" Mina ask tiredly
"Yeah" Melissa nod
"Then let's take a rest first. Who knows if we forced our way now, we might not get a chance to rest later" Kaminari said as he sit down on the floor along with the girls
"Okay..." Kirishima reluctantly agree then he look at Melissa "I hope we won't regret taking this time to rest" He said
"So do I" Melissa agrees
200th floor, Vault Room
David and Sam are trying to unlock a storage box containing the device that David created and Wolfram wanted. After several attempt, neither David not Sam manage to unlock the said box
"No use, we can't unlock it" Sam said worried
"The council locked the box this securely for a reason" David said worried
"What happen? Did you still haven't unlock the box?" The terrorist who keeping an eye for them ask annoyed
"We can't unlock it" David said
"What? What do you mean? Didn't you lock the box yourself?" The terrorist ask annoyed
"No it wasn't us, it was the council" David reply
Annoyed, the terrorist then contacted Wolfram. After talking for a few second, the terrorist give his radio to David "Explain it yourself" He said
David receive the radio "H-Hello?" He said
"Why can't you unlock it, professor?" Wolfram ask clearly annoyed
"I wasn't the one who locked it, it was the I-Island council. There were 10 of them and the system required all 10 to unlock the box that you wanted" David explain
"Are these "council" are in the reception hall with me? If so, then I just need to send them up" Wolfram said
"I'm afraid not all of them are there right now. 2 of them are leaving the I-Island to give a speech. One on US, while the other on Germany" David explain
The radio is silent for a while making David and Sam to be worried before Wolfram speak again
"So, without one of these council the box cannot be open?" Wolfram ask
"No, it can't. I'm sorry" David apologize
"But you can hack them, right?" Wolfram ask surprising David
"Y-Yeah, I can. But it will take time. A lot of time" David reply
"How long?" Wolfram ask
"Under ideal circumstances and best case scenario, around 6 hours at minimal" David explain
"Well then, I think you will have a busy late work, professor" Wolfram said
David look at Sam and they are both visibly worried
"Unless we have a problem" Wolfram said sternly
"No, no we have no problem. I will hack them now" David forcefully comply
"Good. Right now is 11 P.M., I want the device by 5 A.M." Wolfram said before ending the call
David give the radio back to the terrorist
"Now get to work, and don't even think of something stupid" The terrorist threaten
"We won't" Sam reply nervously as the two began hacking the vault room system
140th floor, Emergency Stairs
"Okay, I think we have enough rest already" Kirishima said as he get up from the floor
"Yeah, I'm charged up!" Kaminari claim
"Have you discover a way to get out of here without being detected?" Jiro ask Melissa
"Unfortunately, no" Melissa reply sadly
"So that means we're stuck here?" Mina said depressed
"Not really, we could just get out from that door" Melissa point the emergency door
"But didn't you say we will get detected?" Kaminari ask
"Yes, but I think it will be a necessary risk. And we don't need to go to the top floor" Melissa explain
"Why is that?" Jiro ask
"We could just go to the server floor. We could send a distress call from there instead" Melissa explain
"What floor is the server floor?" Kirishima ask, interested in Melissa's plan
"138th floor" Melissa reply
"That's 2 floors below us" Jiro said surprise
"We could reach it faster than to the top floor" Kaminari said happily
"But we still get detected, right?" Jiro ask worried
"Yeah" Melissa reply
"But like Melissa said, it is a necessary risk. I'd say we do it" Kirishima said
"No complains here" Mina said
"None from me" Kaminari said
"I'm in" Jiro said
"Let's go" Melissa said
"Good, let's move" Kirishima ordered then the group goes 2 floors down
138th floor, Server Floor
"Okay, this is it" Kirishima said as he about to open the emergency door. Kirishima look at the group and they all nod. He then open the door
Control Room
A beeping alarm is heard surprising the terrorist using the control panel
"Did a door on the 138th floor open?" The terrorist said surprise
"Did you make a mistake scanning each floor?" Another terrorist ask
The control terrorist scan the security feed and found Kirishima and the group running on the hallway
"Let down all the partition on the 138th floor. Don't let those kids get away!" Wolfram ordered then some of the terrorist on the hall run outside
"Oh no, the villains found them" Iida said worried
"Please be safe, everyone" Asui said worried
"I hope they doesn't do anything stupid" Yaoyorozu said worried
'Be careful, everyone. Villains are crafty' All Might thought worriedly
Server Room
The group enter the intended server room, and immediately run inside
"Wow, these things are bigger than I imagine" Kaminari said surprise as the other three
"The servers here control every aspect of the island. It needed to be this big" Melissa explain
"Then how about destroying these servers instead? It will stop the villains from controlling the island, right?" Kirishima ask
"No, we can't. If we damage the servers, it could affect the island security system. It could make the security bots to went rouge instead" Melissa denied
"Damn, okay. You can just start sending the distress call from any of the computer, right?" Mina ask
"Yes, but it wouldn't be that fast" Melissa reply confusing the group
"What stopping you from sending a distress call sooner?" Jiro ask confuse
"I told you before that the authentication locks and passwords should have been disabled. If I want to restart the system then I need to do it on the control room at the top floor. In here, I basically need to hack the system to just send a simple distress call" Melissa explain
"Didn't you're the one who said that it was impossible to hack I-Island's system?" Mina ask
"It was, but I could find my way in. I am a student of the I-University, not to mention, a daughter of David Shield. I could find a way to send that distress call" Melissa declare
"That's good to hear. Then get started" Kirishima said
"Okay" Melissa comply as she access a computer and started hacking
Suddenly, a "ting" noise is heard by the group, they look behind and see the elevator door behind them open and 2 terrorists exited the elevator. The group then hide away
"Damn, they send someone to find us" Jiro said annoyed
"I need time to hack the system" Melissa inform
"Do we fight them?" Kaminari ask nervously
"If we did, then they'll probably send more villains to get us" Kirishima said a he peek the terrorists
"They said the kids supposed to be here" The first terrorist said
"They just had to pick a place with so many hiding spots" The second terrorist complain as the two began to walk around
"Okay, Melissa, hack the system. Meanwhile the rest of us are on guard. Signaled each other if they are close and went hiding" Kirishima ordered
"It will take time, but that's for the best" Melissa agrees with the group agreeing
"Okay, so this is basically just a game of cat and mouse. Thought preferably, do NOT get caught" Kaminari said nervously
"Yeah" The group nod. They then began to move away. Melissa began hacking while the other over watch the surrounding
So the game of cat and mouse began. Several times, the group forced to hide away as the either of the terrorists are walking near them. the group hide as best as they can while the terrorists tries the find them. One time the terrorists decided to leave the server room, making the group to have a breathing room. Thought the terrorists are back again to the room, hence the game continues
And finally, after 30 minutes of playing next level cat and mouse
"Melissa, I know I'm being annoying right now. But are you done yet?" Kaminari ask nervously as he cautiously watches the surrounding
"Yes, I'm done" Melissa said happily
"That took longer than I expected" Kaminari commented
"Well, unfortunately this is not like movies that able to do it in a matter of minutes" Melissa said bashfully
"But you did good. With this everyone in the outside world will know that I-Island is under attack. They'll definitely send help!" Kirishima claim excitedly
"I didn't hear the villains anywhere" Jiro inform as she tries to hear the villains' footstep to no avail
"Did they give up?" Mina wonder
"I doubt that" Jiro reply
"Yeah, they definitely know we're here. Let's get out of here" Melissa told the group
"That's for the best" Mina said when suddenly the shutters began to shut down around them
"Uh oh, they know we're here!" Kaminari yell terrified
"Come on! Let's go!" Kirishima yell then the group began to run towards the last shutter that haven't close down
They manage to slip through the shutter just in the last second, but unfortunately, the room they get in is filled with security bots
"What the?!" Jiro yell surprise
"When did they get here?!" Mina yell surprise
"So that's why the last shutter close late, they wanted us to run in here!" Kirishima realize
"They tricked us" Melissa said worried
"It's a trap!" Kaminari yell frantically
The security bots then approach the group
"What do we do?!" Kaminari yell
"We got no choice, we have to fight!" Kirishima yell as he hardened his arms "Graaaah!" Kirishima battle cry as he punch the bots, making few to launch into the air
"Get to cover, girls!" Kaminari yell as he throw his jacket and run towards Kirishima
"Damn, get away, get away!" Jiro push Mina and Melissa away from the boys
"Kirishima, hardened your self!" Kaminari yell as he charge up his quirk
"Got it!" Kirishima then hardened his entire body
"Indiscriminate Shock! 1.3 million volts!" Kaminari yell then he discharge a large electric shock through out the entire security bots and Kirishima
Unfortunately, the security bots close themselves off making them unfazed by the electric shock
"It didn't work?!" Mina yell surprise
"Looks like they really as tough as you describe, Melissa" Jiro said worried
"I know, and that's bad" Melissa agree worriedly
"Damn you!" Kirishima punches several bots while Kaminari tries and fails to shock the bots
"This is getting nowhere. I can't hurt them, and those who you punch doesn't even get disabled, Kirishima!" Kaminari yell worriedly
"I know!" Kirishima reply while continue to punch the bots
Unfortunately, some of the bots slip pass Kirishima and Kaminari
"Damn! Watch out, girls!" Kirishima warn the girls
Mina then spray her acid on the floor in the hopes of stopping them, but the bots just drive through the acid pool like it was a puddle of water
"Seriously!" Mina complain annoyed
"Mina, let's spilt up" Jiro suggested
"Okay, you and Melissa go right, I go left" Mina agrees
"Let's go" Jiro and Melissa then run to the right
"Hey! Hey! I'm the one you want!" Mina yell while waving her arms making some the bots to head towards her "Okay!" She yell as she spray some acid on the bots before making a back somersault to avoid the bots
Some of the bots close off to block the acid while the other chase Mina. Mina then cartwheel away from the bots while also spraying her acid as she can
Jiro and Melissa are running away from to bots, but the bots starting to catch up
"Go! Run!" Jiro told Melissa as she stop and face the bots
"Jiro!" Melissa yell surprise
"Go! I'll hold them back!" Jiro yell as she jack her earphone to the bots
Unfortunately, Jiro's attack didn't even pierce the bots' metal skin. The bots then deploy some wire and tie Jiro down
"Jiro" Melissa yell surprise when the bots also tie her up
"Jiro! Melissa!" Mina yell surprise as she stop cartwheeling and look at Jiro and Melissa surprised. This proof to be a bad decision for her since the bots catch up to her and tie Mina down "Ahh!" Mina yell as she fall to the floor
Kirishima heard Mina's scream and look at her, only to see Mina's being tied and surrounded by bots "Mina!" Kirishima yell as she punch his way towards Mina
Kirishima punches several bots as he make his way towards Mina, but the bots are too many and one by one, the bots tied up Kirishima until he finally fall down, unable to move "Damn!" He complain
"Ah c'mon!" Kaminari complain as he being tied by the bots
After the group being captured, the terrorists that been searching them appear and face them
"Heh, you brats are difficult to find, I admit that" The first terrorist claim
"But you underestimate us too much, brats" The second terrorist claim smirking
50th floor, Reception Hall
The door are open and Kirishima and the group are escorted inside by some security bots and Terrorists
"Kirishima! Kaminari!" Sero yell surprise making Class A to look at the door
"Mina! Jiro! Melissa!" The girls yell surprise
"Sorry, we got caught" Kirishima apologize
"You can run, but you can hide" Wolfram said creepily to the group who back away "Take them to their friends" Wolfram ordered
Kirishima and the group then forcefully move to where Class 1-A being tied down. The group the sit down near the class
"You guys okay?" Yaoyorozu ask worried
"We're fine. But the bots are annoying" Mina said annoyed
"They are tough and in numbers, we didn't stand a chance" Jir explain
"Not even my 1.3 million volt work on them" Kaminari said sulking
"Neither my punches" Kirishima added
"Or even my acid!" Mina complain
"But did you get caught trying to escape?" Asui ask
"No. We tried to restart the I-Island system on the top of the tower, but we're stuck on the 140th floor. So we decided to go down to the server floor and send a distress call instead" Melissa explain
"A distress call" The class said surprise but happy as well
"Did you meet with Midoriya?" Uraraka ask
"No, we didn't" Mina shake her head
"He still outside and probably trying to get in" Kaminari said
"Okay, we have Midoriya outside, and how long do you think before anyone from the outside world came to help?" Sato ask
"About the distress call, technically it still haven't being send yet" Melissa said surprising the class
"What do you mean, blonde? You can't do something as simple a asking for help?" Bakugou half mocked Melissa
'Says you' The class thought together
"The program I created to send the distress call needed time to slip through the system's firewall before it can send the call" Melissa said
"What do you mean "slip through the system firewall"?" Shoji ask confuse as others
"It's like digging a hole. The program will takes time to dig the hole, while also need to avoid hitting the underground pipes, wires, sewers before it finally reaches the required depth. If the program is detected then it will be terminated" Melissa explain
"How long you think it will take?" Sero ask
"4 to 5 hours?" Melissa reply nervously
"Fiv-" Kaminari yell surprise
"Shhhhhh!" The class shush Kaminari making him to shut up
The terrorists glance at the class before looking away
"Phew..." The class sigh in relief
"Kaminari!" Jiro whisper yell
"Sorry" Kaminari apologize
"But still, 5 hours?!" Mineta whisper yell
"I'm sorry, but that was the best I could do" Melissa apologize
"Don't feel too bad about it. At least when the time came, you still send a distress call. That's what's important" Iida assure
"So there's nothing else we could do?" Asui ask
"Yeah, now all we have to do is wait" Melissa nod
"So either we have to wait 5 hours or more before help arrive, or the villains get what they wanted and leave before then" Iida said
"Then we have no choice but to wait, again" Aizawa said with the class agreeing
5 hours later, 04:42 A.M.
For the last 5 hours no major thing has happened, it was uneventful to say the least. David and Sam still busy trying to hack the vault box, no hostages tries anything funny, and the terrorists still waiting. Meanwhile outside, a small storm is passing through I-Island and right now still directly above the island
04:45 A.M.
The program that Melissa created finally went online and disable the communication block and send a distress call to the outside world
Control Room
"What the?" A terrorist in the control room said surprise as a distress call has been transmitted from the server room "Those brats!" He said irritated
"What's the matter?" A terrorist beside him ask
"Those kids who we've caught just send a distress call to the outside world" The control terrorist said irritated
"They send what?!" The other terrorist yell surprise
"Distress call! They send a distress call!" The control terrorist yell
"How?! We already caught them!" The other terrorist yell
"They must've create a program with a timer that will send a distress call. They do it since they know they will be caught!" The control terrorist explain
"Fuck! Wolfram, those brats just send a distress call" The other terrorist call Wolfram
"What? What do you mean?" Wolfram said angrily
"What happen?" Uraraka whisper
"I don't know. But he's pissed" Sero reply
"The program" Melissa realize
"The distress call" Iida and the class realize
"Uh, guys. He's heading here and he doesn't look happy" Uraraka said nervously
"What do you want?" Bakugou ask annoyed as Wolfram standing in front of the class while looking angry
Suddenly, without any warning. Wolfram grab Melissa's hair and forcefully lift her up
"AHHHHHH!!!" Melissa yell painfully
"MELISSA!!!" The class yell shocked
"What are you doing?!"
"Let her go!"
"Stop!"
"She didn't do anything!"
"Melissa!" All Might said angrily as he tries to break free
"You bitch! What have you done!" Wolfram yell angrily as he pull Melissa's hair roughly
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!" Melissa scream in pain and fear
75km east of I-Island
Far away from I-Island, the dawn sky is peaceful without anything that can be consider as disturbance. That, until something passing through the sky
The dawn sky is interrupted by a massive force, a force of 48 F-35As, 3 X-47Cs, 1 C-17B, and 1 E-3A is soaring through the dawn sky and heading straight into I-Island
"All planes, this is AWACS callsign 'SkyEye'. We just received a confirmed distress call from I-Island. The island is officially under controlled by some unknown forces. We have green light to commence the operation. And standby for Lieutenant Colonel Garrison" SkyEye inform
"All units, this is Lieutenant Colonel Garrison. A lot of people inside I-Island rely on us to save them. The enemy's still on the dark on our mission, but once we started they'll know we're coming. A small storm is above I-Island as we speak, but it won't be for long. We will attack from the east. We'll strike the airports under storm cover and retake the island. Strike with speed and courage. Let the storm carry us home" Let. Col. Garrison speech through the radio
"You all heard the man" SkyEye said
"Waypoint marked. Commencing operation" The E-3 pilot said
"Roger that, mission is a go" The C-17 pilot reply
Just then the E-3 and C-17 climb up and leaving the formation of F-35s and X-47 below
"Warwolf 1 to all aircraft, battle formation. Master arm on, master arm on" Warwolf 1 declare making the F-35s to move to a battle formation and a single X-47 is speeding up towards I-Island
From beneath the X-47, a pod that it was carrying is releasing a tube attached with a cable to the pod, the cable continue to stretch until it was around 15 meters/49ft away from the aircraft "First towed decoy is deployed" SkyEye inform
Inside the I-Island northeast airport ATC, a terrorist hear a beeping noise coming from the screen, he navigate the screen and open the radar to see an aircraft is approaching the island
"What is it?" Another terrorist ask
"I have an aircraft on radar that is approaching the island" The first terrorist said
"I thought we already ban any flight heading to the island?" The second terrorist said confuse
"We did" The first terrorist reply
"What kind of aircraft?" The second terrorist ask
"Wait a second" The first terrorist about to check when the unknown aircraft is automatically marked as hostiles by the island system and bells are ringing on the ATC
"What? What happen?" The second terrorist ask surprise and confuse
"The unknown aircraft is-" The first terrorist is cut when the airport automatic missile defense system is deployed and launch missiles at the unknown aircraft
"What did you do?!" The second terrorist yell surprise
"I didn't do anything! The system marked it as hostiles and the automated defense system is activated!" The first terrorist explain
The missiles continue to fly towards the unknown aircraft before exploding to where the unknown aircraft is flying
"Well, at least it was destroyed" The second terrorist said
"Wait!" The first terrorist yell as he check the radar and discover the unknown aircraft still flying "That thing still flying!" He yell surprise
"What?! How?! The missiles hit it!" The second terrorist yell when the defense system deployed more missile batteries and launch more missiles. Unfortunately, none of the missiles hit the unknown aircraft
"The missiles can't shot it down! I don't know why!" The first terrorist yell frantically
"Damn it! I'm calling Wolfram!" The second terrorist said then he radioed Wolfram
Main Tower, 50th floor, Reception Hall
"You bitch! So that's why you sneak into the server room, huh?! You send a distress call to outside world!" Wolfram yell while still pulling Melissa's hair
"I-I don't kno-" Melissa tries to explain but Wolfram pull her hair even more and aim his pistol at Melissa's face
"You think I don't know it was you who send that distress call?! You know the system of this island, you surely know how to send a distress call!" Wolfram yell when he is interrupted by a radio call "What?!" Wolfram yell angrily as he receive a call when he's about to shoot Melissa
"We have an unknown hostile aircraft heading to the island, but the missiles can't shot it down" The terrorist on the ATC explain
"Show it at the screen!" Wolfram ordered
The screen then show the footage of the northeast airport, trail of smokes can be visibly seen by everyone despite the darkness and rain as missiles are launched from their batteries towards something in the sky
"You have all that missiles and yet you can't shot it down?" Wolfram said irritated
"We don't know why, but it won't hit" The terrorist said confuse
"But that just one aircraft, I doubt it can cause a problem either than unable to be shot down" A terrorist said. When suddenly
Several lights lights up from the sky and heading straight to the airports. The lights continue to fly towards the airport until it impacted and exploded the airport's missile defense batteries
"What the hell?!" The terrorists inside the ATC yell shocked
The lights, turn out to be AGM-88 HARM missiles launched from the F-35s. The same situation also happened on the northwest and south airports, where the missile batteries are destroyed by F-35's missiles
"What?! What happen?!" A terrorist yell surprise when he sees the footage. The same can be said to everyone who watches the live footage
A terrorist then see several more lights on the sky as the F-35s do full afterburner breaking away from their strike formation "Fighter jets?!" The terrorist yell surprise
"Freeze the image on of the jet!" Wolfram ordered
The image of the screen then freeze at one of the F-35. The image then zoom in and the USAF roundel on the jet nose can be seen clearly
"That logo. USAF, United States Air Force" A hostage recognize the roundel
"American" Wolfram said with spite
"But how did they manage to get here so fast? The distress call just being transmitted" A terrorist said confuse
"The escape transport plane" Wolfram realize "They must've been gathering troops and prepare for an attack all this time. If only the damn box doesn't need the council, we've been out of here already" He said angrily
Wolfram then release Melissa, and with a thud, Melissa fall to the floor
"Melissa!" Class 1-A yell worriedly
"Saved by the bell" Wolfram look at Melissa "How's the progress with the hacking? Have they finished yet?" He ask the terrorist who's keeping an eye on David
"No, sir. They said they need more time" The terrorist reply
"Tch, useless" Wolfram said irritated "Fine, I'll do it myself" He said before he walk out from the hall
30,000ft above of I-Island
Special Forces from US Navy SEAL Team 6, USMC MARSOC Raiders, And Ranger Corp Task Force 141 are preparing their self before jumping out from the C-17. A soldier is reading a bible out loud, while most of the operators are checking their gears and weapons
(All the Special Forces have the same gear as Izuku does; exosuit and jetpack)
Suddenly the lights went out making the operators to immediately wear their mask and visor on when the rear ramp door open, revealing the soft dawn light inside the cabin. The operators stand up and line up at the ramp door while checking the equipment of the operator in front of them. After securing the equipment, the operators move to a jumping position and then they wait
A red light then lights up along side a beeping noise. The beeping noise beep for once... twice... then on the third beep, the light turns green, signaling the operators to run out from the plane
The Special Forces operators then jump out from the C-17 with the rising sun directly in front of them
"Dive" Izuku simply ordered then all the operators engage their thrusters and dive at high speed towards I-Island
The operators dive through the upper thick cloud layer, they felt some turbulence flying through. But as soon they pass the upper cloud layer, they see the actual storm right below them
"Strom directly below" A SEAL inform
"Don't let it stop us" Izuku said
"Like hell it will" A MARSOC smirk
The operators, without a single sign of doubt or fear dive through the lightning filled storm. Lightning strikes near the operators, but they didn't care. If the mission required them to dive through a storm, they will do it
After passing through the storm, the operators sees the I-Island and the F-35s attacking the island air defense system and the missiles from the said air defense system
"1000 meters from target!" Alex inform
"Get ready, this is it!" Izuku told the operators
"900 meters... 800 meters... 700 meters... 600 meters... 500 meters" Alex inform again when a missile fly pass them
"Holy shit!" A SEAL operator yell surprise
"That's a close one" A MARSOC claim surprised
"Eyes on the price, gentlemen" Izuku said
"300 meters... 250 meters... 200 meters..." Alex inform as the operators are 200 meters away from I-Island main tower
"Ready..." Izuku signaled
"150 meters... 100 meters!" Alex inform
"Break!" Izuku ordered, then the operators break from their dive and apply full thrust on their thrusters to slow down before they finally touch down the the main tower helipad
"SkyEye, this is Delta 9-1. We passed checkpoint Lima, over" Izuku inform
"SkyEye, acknowledge. Passing Lima" SkyEye reply
"All right, gentlemen. We have our missions. Let's move" Izuku ordered
"Yes, sir!" The operators comply then they began to move away from the helipad
The operators, consist of teams of 4 from 2 MARSOC Raiders team, 1 SEAL Team 6, and 1 Task Force 141 Delta 9 team began to move to their mission objective. The 2 Raiders team are to secure the control room at the 200th floor, while the SEAL and TF141 are to breach and secure the reception hall at the 50th floor
Raider 1 and Raider 2 reach the entrance door
"Hack it" Raider 1-1 ordered
"Roger" Raider 1-3 comply as he grab a piece of equipment then began hacking the door "Door's unlock" He inform
"Alright, get in. All unknowns are hostiles" Raider 1-1 ordered
"Yes, sir" Both Raider teams comply as they get inside
"Another jump" Alex said as TF141 and SEAL reach the edge of the top floor
"We'll likely to deplete our thrusters on this jump. Watch your gauges. Don't die stupidly" Izuku said
"Understood" Both team comply
"I still can't believe you carry that shield on this mission, Delta" Alex said as he see Izuku's circular throwing shield on his back
"What? You give it to me. And I like this thing" Izuku shrug before he and the operators jump down along the tower's side
Izuku and the operators are diving down along the tower's side until they reaches their target floor. They uses their thrusters again to slow their descend before attaching a grabbling hook at the tower's side and dangle on it. They are exactly above the reception hall's windows
"Wide map, scan" Izuku said then his quirk display a large map of the reception hall and scan the room "Okay, 24 hostiles inside the hall" Izuku inform
"3 kills per person?" Alex ask
"If you're fast enough. Or I'll take one from you" Izuku tease
"We'll see about that" Alex smirk
"Yeah, right" Izuku smirk as well before calling his radio "Raider 1-1, Delta 9-1. We're ready to breach, what's your status?" Izuku ask
"We're almost at the control room, stand by" Raider 1-1 inform in the middle of a gunfight
"Should we wait?" Alex ask
"Negative. We can't stay out here for too long. We're too expose. We breach now" Izuku ordered
"Yes, sir" The operators comply as they spread out and prepare themselves to breach in
"Glass breaker" Izuku said as some of the operators grab a small device then plant them at the top of the reception hall windows
"Planted"
"Planted"
"Planted"
"Planted" Alex inform as he and some operators planted the device
"Breach and clear. Hit it" Izuku ordered then the glass breaker broke the glass window of the reception hall, surprising everyone inside
"What the?!" A terrorist yell surprise
"What happen?!" A terrorist yell surprise
Before the terrorists have time to figured out what happen, Izuku and the Special Forces operators appear from the windows, upside down, and began to shoot the terrorists
"AHHHHHH!!!" The hostages scream terrified by the gun shots
"What the fu-ack!" A terrorist yell surprise before getting shot
"Shoot them-Ah!" A terrorist ordered before getting shot
"Damn you!" A terrorist yell as he tries to shoot the operator to no luck and getting shot himself eventually
After several intense seconds of gunfight, the shooting stops. All the terrorists are dead, no hostages are injured, no operator casualty
"Clear!" Izuku inform
"Clear!"
"Clear!"
"Clear!"
"Clear!"
"Clear!"
"Clear!"
"Clear!" The operators inform while still dangling upside down at the windows
"SkyEye, this is Delta 9-1. We passed checkpoint Hotel, over" Izuku inform
"SkyEye, acknowledge. Passing Hotel"" SkyEye reply
"Raider 1-1, we have secured the reception hall. Disabled the security system now" Izuku inform, but there's no reply from Raider 1 "Raider 1-1 what the status on the control room?" Izuku ask and again, no reply
"Did their radio lost connection?" Alex wonder
"We'll figured out later. EMP out" Izuku ordered
Izuku and the operators then throw some EMP grenades inside the hall. The EMP then disable all the restraining ropes tying the heroes, making them to break free
Izuku and the operators then get inside the hall. Izuku notice the hostages are looking at him with fear and some of the heroes are also on guard
"Everyone relax. Ranger Corp's Task Force 141 and US Navy SEALs. We're here to help" Izuku assure the terrified hostages
The hostages relaxed and lower their guard when Izuku said that he is with friendly forces
Izuku then approach Class 1-A while opening his mask and visor "I guess trouble follow us wherever go, isn't it?" Izuku joke as the class getting up one by one
"You don't say!" Kaminari groan
"What took you so long? Where the hell you've been?!" Bakugou yell annoyed
"Oh? So you admitted that you needed me to breach in and take out the bad guys for you?" Izuku teases
"Why you!" Bakugou yell angrily as he about to attack Izuku, but hold back by Bakusquad
"Now, now" Kirishima sweatdrop before looking at Izuku "Thought I have the same question, Midoriya. Where were you?" He ask
"I actually manage to escape the island during the early minutes of the terrorist takeover. Me and some of the Ranger Corp personnel then headed to Hickam AFB at Hawaii and assembled a strike force" Izuku explain surprising everyone
"Wait, you escape the island?" Ojiro said surprise as others
"Yeah, and the plane I was in almost get shot down during the escape as well. It was a close one" Izuku claim
"But what make it so long before you finally attack the island. It was 6 or 7 hours after you escapes!" Mineta complain
"Assembling a strike force is not as simple as it looks. It takes time to assemble all the necessary equipment, personnel, and vehicle, not to mention intel. It will take time, nothing is instantaneous" Izuku explain when Alex approach him
"Delta, I can't contact both Raider 1 and Raider 2. SkyEye also lost contact with them as well" Alex inform
"Shit. I don't like this" Izuku annoyed
"What's your orders?" Alex ask
"Okay. SEAL Team 6, heroes, stay here and defend the civvies until the tower is secured. Rangers, we're going top stairs to investigate. And All Might, you're coming with us" Izuku ordered
"Yes, sir!" The operators comply
"Understood, Young Midoriya" All Might comply
"You want us to stay here and do nothing again, guns?" Bakugou ask irritated
"Obey my orders, Bakugou, and stay here" Izuku said as he walk away
"So you think I'm just going to let you have all then fun?!" Bakugou yell
"There's nothing fun about any of this, dumbass!" Izuku yell angrily, shutting Bakugou up and surprising his classmates "Where the fuck is your brain?! Those guys are not villains, they're terrorists! This is a military operation, and I'm giving you a fucking order to stay! So stay!" Izuku yell annoyed
"Go and do your job, Midoriya. We'll stay here" Aizawa said as he hold back Bakugou
"Rog" Izuku comply as he, the rest of Delta 9, and All Might run outside the hall and heading into the elevator
"Midoriya's right about nothing fun about any of this, Bakugou. And heroes fight not because of "fun". We fight to protect others. Now stay here and don't do anything stupid" Aizawa said sternly
"Tch!" Bakugou click his tongue in annoyance
Delta 9 and All Might run on the hallway before entering an elevator that will take them to the top floor
"What intel do we got?" Izuku ask
"From the hostages they said that the terrorists take 2 people outside. Haven't return since" Alex reply
"They're Dave and Sam. David Shield and his assistance, Sam" All Might inform
"Where do you think they take him?" Izuku ask
"From what I heard, I think where we're going, top floor" All Might reply
"All right, we got 2 civvies and an unknown amount of hostiles above. Also, we're in the dark of what happened up there. Weapons tight, don't throw any shots" Izuku ordered
"Yes, sir" Delta 9 comply
Izuku then store away his rifle then grab his shield and pistol before looking at All Might "All Might, don't behave on your own. Unless we ordered you to do something, stay put. Like I said earlier, we're in the dark of what happened up there. One wrong move and you might accidentally hurt the civvies" He told All Might
"Understood, Young Midoriya. I won't let you down" All Might claim
"And All Might" Izuku said making All Might to look at him "Lethal force authorized" Izuku said seriously
All Might smirk, but smirk like an evil smirk "Yes, sir" He comply
