Chapter 27 - Confusion in the test of courage part 2

You must be aware that I am now dealing with Tokoyami who has lost control of his "Dark Shadow".

Well, I have to tell you that this is happening right now.

- Here, umbrella! Can't catch me? - I shout to Dark Shadow who tried to attack me, but missed.

Practically I'm luring Tokoyami to where Shoto and Bakugou are and Deku and Mezo are after Tokoyami.

"How am I letting Deku participate in this?" You must be asking this. Well, I'll say a simple phrase that resolves this: "Power of the protagonist."

I'll explain what happened.

****************

Flashback

- What?! Are you crazy Izuku? - I shout to my brother who came up with the idea of attracting Tokoyami to Bakugou, while I'm protecting us with a force field.

- I know I'm exhausted, but I don't want to back down knowing that Ka-chan is in danger! - Deku shouted back.

-Guys, I don't want to interrupt, but I suggest we don't delay the plan, we need to help Tokoyami. - Mezo said carrying Deku.

This conversation is going on while "Dark Shadow" is trying to break my force field, but he couldn't even crack the barrier.

- Okay, but I'm going to be the bait and you stay behind him. - I say that.

End of flashback

***************

That was what happened. Now let's go back to the current situation.

- You are a turtle! Even my mother is faster than you! - I keep screaming loudly while Dark Shadow tries to hit me, but I always dodge it in the air.

As I'm flying I see Shoto and Bakugou in front of me with the blade villain too.

- Shoto, Bakugou! Use your flames to calm Tokoyami! Fast! -I shout this, dodging yet another attack.

As in the normal story, "Dark Shadow" defeated the villain with blades easily and then Shoto and Bakugou used their individualities near Tokoyami, making the "Dark Shadow" retreat into its user.

With that Tokoyami apologized to everyone about him losing control, but he was soon forgiven by everyone.

💭Dark Shadow is a really good power, it's a shame it wasn't worked on much.

- Right. We have confirmed that one of the villains' targets is Ka-chan. - said Izuku. - And I'm already blacklisting them too. - I say this leaving everyone surprised. - How do you know brother? - Deku asked - Let's say I received information from a villain that I defeated - I say this looking to the side trying not to think about what Toga said.

💭I would say better than I ran away from it.

- Saito and Bakugou? But why? What do you want with them? - Tokoyami asked. - Unfortunately, I can't say. Anyway I think the camp is the safest place. - Izuku replied.

- The teachers are there as well as the other students. You guys take Bakugou to the camp while I look for the others. - I say my idea. - But you said that you are one of the villains' targets. - Deku said worriedly. - There's no need to worry, I know how to take care of myself around villains. Remember what happened in the fight against the Nomu? - I say this making Deku remember what happened.

- So how are we going to take Bakugou? - Shoto asked. - The pussy cats must still be fighting the villains on the main path, so we have to cut through the forest. - Izuku said.

- Mezo uses his arms to see and hear if an enemy is close, Shoto uses his ice to defend and if Tokoyami succeeds he can use "Dark Shadow". - I say that. - With this team we can even face All Might. - said Deku. - Don't exaggerate - I reply.

- Anyway, I'll meet you at camp. I have to help others. - I say that and use my speed and vision.

Minutes later. Dabi's vision

I had received information from Mister Complice that he caught our target and ordered everyone to retreat.

Lucky for us, I met two girls on the way, one has strange ears and the other is invisible, they are sleeping thanks to the gas that unfortunately disappeared for some reason. It doesn't matter anymore since we have hostages so I didn't care much about it.

The annoying thing about this whole mission is that one of the targets is that damn Saito who is also in this camp. To my surprise I didn't see him in that forest or even hear a very loud sound of destruction. So I'm always wondering where is he?

The worst part of all this is that I remember the words he said before he defeated me.

💭 Damn you Saito!!!! I will prove to you and the whole world that I am not weak and that I will have my revenge!!!

I get so lost in my anger that I didn't notice Twice calling me.

- What do you want? - I ask this looking coldly at Twice who backed away a little.

- W-Well I've been calling you for a long time and you haven't answered. Besides, you look like you want to kill someone. - said Twice trying to be funny.

- That doesn't interest you. Just focus on the mission. My problems are only mine, not yours. - I say that.

- Wow, it's fine. I'm here trying to be close friends with you. - said Twice.

- Whatever. Take the hostages and let's meet up with the others. - I say that to him.

- And now! - said Twice going where I left them. - Hey Dabi. Are you sure they are here? - Twice asked.

- And of course they are. - I say that. - Well then, apparently they ran away... - Twice said, making me angry. - And how did they run away if they are close to- It was at that moment that I realized how this happened. - Saito.....- I say his name with hatred- That bastard took the hostages. - I say that.

- Oh shit, fucked up! Fucked once and for all! We can't win against him! - said Twice. - That's why I was against Tomura's idea! But that idiot only thinks about his childhood obsession with All Might!!! - I shout this, releasing my frustration.

- What do we do now, bro? - Twice asked desperately. - We get out of here with our target before Saito catches us. - I say that to Twice.

(A/N:I don't know if this is just me, but this seems like a similar situation to what Batman does)

- Dabi and you better call Nomu out - says Twice - I almost forgot about him. - I say this by releasing the signal. - Let's go! We can't get caught by Saito. - I say this as I run to the meeting point with Twice.

***************

Seconds later. Momo's vision.

What a humiliating situation I am in. I never thought I would lose so easily, even using Saito-san's advice I lost without noticing.

- Come on, Momo wake up! You can't fall now! - Aizaku said, who is a student from class B that I met.

He's running, taking me along with a green monster behind us.

💭Even though I try hard, I'm still too weak. What a hero I am, I couldn't defend myself against this villain.

- Ahhh damn! Because this had to happen! - Aizaku shouted as the green monster reached us.

I'm too weak to react and I can't even see who our enemy is. All I can do is pray that everything works out.

But unfortunately that didn't happen. Aizaku fell to the ground along with me and the monster was about to attack both of us.

- Not that Momo! Wake up! We're going to die like this! - Aizaku shouted once again.

I look at the monster in front of me and in an act of despair and hope I say the name of the person most important to me.

- Saito....- I say his name as if I knew he heard it. - please save us...

After a second something happens.

- Normal multiple punches.... -I hear his voice at the same moment and I see the green monster exploded into several pieces the moment Saito appeared.

- As you have lost your sanity and are no longer human, I have nothing to stop me from ending your existence. - he said in a serious tone that is rare to see. - Saito....- I say his name once again, but this time with joy at seeing him well and that he saved us.

He turns towards me and walks towards me, but when he was about to talk to me I lost my consciousness, but I could see him smiling back before I blacked out.

*************

Moments later. Saito's vision.

I was able to save Momo and another boy I don't know in time, and took them both to the camp where I left Jirou and Toru.

- You caught the others so quickly! - Said Aizawa seeing me with Momo is the boy.

-Yes, I caught them, take Momo to recover, she is very weak. - I say this walking back to the forest not letting Aizawa respond, but I am stopped by Mina who takes my hand. - Be careful out there. Okay Saito? - She said. - I know how to take care of myself if- Mina interrupts me.- I want you to promise me! - I'm surprised by the serious expression she's using.

- It's okay, I promise I'll be fine. -I say this letting out a sigh and Mina smiled when she saw my answer. - That's better!. - She said, leaving me with a strange feeling.

💭Tch! I don't have time to waste time with my feelings right now!

I don't waste time and I start flying high and I head in the direction where the villains are.

💭I found them!

At the same moment I get down in front of Twice, Dabi and Toga. But at the same time Deku and the others also appear on top of Mister Complice.

💭 Shit! I forgot that part!

-Oops, oops, oops. I only know one of them. But not the others! - shouted Twice.

- Saito-kun! Did you come to say goodbye to me? Ahh you shouldn't, I'm not good with goodbyes! - said Toga, being happier than she should be.

I see the shit that's happening in front of me, I just put a hand on my face.

- Why am I so unlucky? - I say this in such a low tone.
