Chapter 5 - The Rescue and Saving

As the experiments continued, the trio endured unimaginable pain. Then, something strange happened. Toshinori's eyes turned black, Ken's dark yellow, and Shoya's dark blue. Their physical capabilities began to increase, but the agony was unbearable, and they couldn't remember their pasts.

Toshinori, gritting his teeth, noticed the new children being brought in for experiments.

Toshinori: "We can't let them go through this. We need to stop it now."

Ken, his eyes blazing, nodded in agreement.

Ken: "We've endured enough. Let's make sure they don't suffer like us."

Shoya, his determination clear, added.

Shoya: "Let's break out of here and end this nightmare."

With newfound strength, they broke free from their cages. The trio unleashed their fury on the villains, decimating everyone in their path.

Ken, fiercely: "No one else will suffer!"

Shoya, resolute: "This ends now!"

Toshinori, leading the way: "Let's get these kids to safety."

They gathered the children and made their escape, leaving behind the horrors of the lab and the shattered remains of their captors.

After rescuing the children, Toshinori, Ken, and Shoya dropped them near a police station. One of the kids looked up at them with gratitude.

Kid: "Thank you, all of you."

Toshinori, with a gentle smile, patted the kid's head.

Toshinori: "Take care of yourself from now on."

As they turned to leave, the three reflected on their situation.

Toshinori: "We've lost all our memories. I guess this was meant to happen, but at least we saved those kids."

Shoya, nodding in agreement: "You're right, 01. At least someone is safe."

Ken, looking ahead: "Since we're free, we should go our separate ways, 01 and 03. It'll help us avoid attention and keep ourselves trained."

Toshinori: "That's a great idea, 02. Let's stay sharp and protect ourselves."

With a sense of resolve, the trio parted ways, each heading into the unknown, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Toshinori: "We can't let anyone know what happened to us. We'll hide ourselves, and everyone will think we disappeared."

Ken, his dark yellow eyes reflecting determination, chimed in.

Ken: "Then, after three years, we show up at UA for the admission test with new identities. Stronger, wiser."

Shoya, his intense dark blue eyes gleaming with anticipation, nodded in agreement.

Shoya: "Let's split up for now, hone our abilities, and when the time comes, we'll be a force to be reckoned with."

With an unspoken understanding, the trio dispersed into the shadows, each embarking on a personal journey of growth and self-discovery. The city below them buzzed with life, unaware of the formidable force that now lay hidden, waiting for the opportune moment to reemerge.

The disappearance of Toshinori, Ken, and Shoya left their homes in turmoil. The parents, consumed with worry and guilt, grappled with the sudden void.

In the Midoriya household, Izuku paced back and forth, frustration evident in his voice.

Izuku: "Where could they be? Toshinori always tells us if he's going somewhere."

Ochaco, tears welling up, added: "I don't know, Izuku. This isn't like him at all."

Meanwhile, in the Bakugo household, Bakugo's regret was palpable.

Bakugo: "Damn it, I should've been there for Ken. I should've talked to him, made amends."

Camie, trying to comfort him, responded: "Katsuki, it's not your fault. We need to focus on finding him. With our reputation, we will find him."

At the Todoroki residence, Shoto and Momo were equally devastated.

Shoto, staring blankly, murmured: "Shoya... where are you? Why didn't I see this coming?"

Momo, holding back tears, tried to stay strong: "We have to find him, Shoto. We have to make this right."

The parents, united in their desperation, resolved to do whatever it took to find their missing sons and mend the fractured bonds that had driven them away.

While the parents were consumed with worry, the sisters' reactions were starkly different, driven by selfish motives.

Katsu paced angrily, voicing his concern.

Katsu: "Damn it! If they expose us for how we bullied them, our hero careers will be over."

Shoka, equally anxious, agreed.

Shoka: "We need to find them first and make sure they keep quiet."

Izumi, nodding in agreement, added with a calculating tone.

Izumi: "Exactly. And we need to talk to Izana too. He didn't bully them, but we can't risk him speaking up either."

Izana, overhearing the conversation, looked at his siblings with a mix of disdain and resignation but remained silent, as if he had already chosen not to involve himself in their schemes.

Katsu, resolute, said: "We need a plan. We can't let them ruin everything we've worked for."

The sisters, more concerned with protecting their own futures than with the well-being of their brothers, set out to find Toshinori, Ken, and Shoya, hoping to silence them before the truth could come to light.

The atmosphere at the police station was tense as Deku, Bakugo, and Shoto approached Commissioner Logan, desperate for answers about their missing sons.

Deku, worry etched on his face, spoke first.

Deku: "Commissioner Logan, our sons have disappeared. We need your help."

Shoto, his voice steady but filled with concern, added: "We've already engaged our agencies to find them, but there's been no trace."

Bakugo, pushing forward a set of photos, pleaded: "Please, take a look at these. We need to find them."

Commissioner Logan was about to respond when a young boy, one of the rescued children, noticed the photos and spoke up.

Kid: "Commissioner, I know them! They're the ones who saved us. I'm sure of it!"

The revelation sent a shockwave through the parents. Deku, driven by desperation, turned to the boy.

Deku: "You saw them? Where? Please, tell us everything."

The kid, now the center of attention, tried to recall the details.

Kid: "They saved us from some really bad people. They brought us to the police station, but I don't know where they went after that."

Commissioner Logan, taking the boy's statement seriously, addressed the heroes.

Commissioner Logan: "This changes things. We'll launch an immediate search based on this new information. Let's find them."

The top three heroes, now with a glimmer of hope, prepared to join the search efforts, determined to bring their sons back home safely.

On top of a building, Toshinori stood alone, the city's lights flickering below him as he grappled with his thoughts.

Toshinori: "We've already gone our separate ways, and without our memories, they'll come looking for us. We have to be ready."

He thought deeply about their situation and the choices that lay ahead.

Toshinori: "01 or whatever they called me, I need to become stronger. I can't trust anyone except 02 and 03. I need to be strong enough to fight."

Perched on the rooftop, Toshinori's keen eyes spotted a troubling scene in an alleyway below. A man was attempting to force himself on a frightened woman.

Villain: "Oh come on, pretty lady, let's have some fun."

Lady: "No... please, leave me alone."

Without hesitation, Toshinori leapt from the building, landing with a thud behind the assailant. His voice, calm yet filled with disdain, cut through the tension.

Toshinori: "Seriously? What a pathetic worm you are."

The villain turned, startled, but before he could react, Toshinori delivered a powerful kick, sending him sprawling to the ground.

Toshinori: "Get out of here," he said to the woman.

Lady: "Thank you, thank you so much!"

She quickly fled, leaving Toshinori to deal with the now-dazed villain.

Toshinori: "Remember this, Fucker. There are people out here who won't stand by and let you hurt others."

With that, he turned and walked away, determined to continue his journey of self-improvement and protection.
