XXXVII. A New Flame Rises
You stepped away from the trembling form of Dabi, leaving the aftermath of your fiery interlude echoing in the dampened silence. With a sense of urgency, you made your stealthy approach towards the teacher's cabin, your mind racing with the need to warn Eraserhead and the ensemble of pro heroes about the looming peril. Upon your arrival, however, the cabin was as empty as your words in the absence of its inhabitants. A murmur of irritation rippled through your throat as you inhaled deeply, your heightened senses seeking any lingering scent of your comrades.
The modern camp's layout, illuminated by the soft glow of distant lights, stood as a stark contrast to the ancient whispers of the forest that enveloped it. The trees, like sentinels of the night, bore witness to your quest as you prowled through the dense foliage. Each rustle of leaves and snap of a twig seemed to amplify the quietude, painting an unsettling picture of the deserted hero hub.
Your eyes, sharp as the cutting edge of the latest technology, scanned the shadowy underbrush for any clue to their whereabouts. Yet, as the night air whispered secrets of the surrounding woods, a sudden revelation pierced through the fog of your thoughts. The names of Midoriya and Kota resonated in your mind like an SOS beacon in a sea of static.
A jolt of fear for their safety sent a tremor through your scales. You knew you had to find them, to ensure their protection before the jaws of fate could close. With a swiftness that defied the very fabric of the night, you surged forward, your pace unrelenting as you ventured deeper into the heart of the forest.
The terrain grew increasingly challenging, a labyrinth of roots and rocks that seemed to conspire against you. Yet, your determination remained unshaken, a beacon in the dark, driving you ever closer to the boys. The modern marvels of your physiology allowed you to navigate with ease, each step a silent symphony in the cacophony of the wild.
As you reached the hillside, the quiet was shattered by distant rumbles and the unmistakable sound of fear. Your heart, a metronome of vigilance, quickened its tempo. You knew it was Kota's voice, a chilling reminder of the imminent danger they faced. With a powerful thrust, you took to the skies, your wings slicing through the darkness like the latest in stealth aircraft technology.
Above the canopy, the moon's ghostly embrace bathed the world in silver light, revealing the chaos unfolding below. Your eyes, a fusion of biological precision and technological advancement, honed in on the source of the disturbance. Your descent was a blur, a spectacle of power and grace that would leave any onlooker breathless.
You crash-landed on the villain with a thunderous roar, your claws sinking into the cold metal of his weapon-laden form. The impact sent him sprawling, and you let out a primal cry, a declaration of war against the shadows that threatened the innocent.
Surveying the scene with a critical eye, you confirmed the boys' safety before issuing a firm command. "Go back to camp," you told them, your voice a gentle rumble. "Evil lingers here, and I shall purge it before it reaches you."
With a renewed sense of purpose, you took flight once more, a guardian angel against the backdrop of the moonlit night. Meanwhile, unseen by your watchful gaze, the misty villain Kurogiri retreated into the shadows, his earlier confidence shaken by your display of might. He found Dabi, who was still recovering from your encounter.
"You disappoint," Kurogiri chastised, his tone a mix of digital static and malice. "Shigiraki had such high expectations."
Dabi, his composure slowly returning, took in the sight of Toga emerging from the ditch she'd been thrown into, a modern-day Gorgon with a bruised ego. "She's more... captivating than we anticipated," he said thoughtfully, his voice a symphony of flaming intensity and ice-cold calculation.
Kurogiri regarded the two with a mix of curiosity and concern. "It seems we have underestimated the Chancellor," he murmured, the digital distortion of his voice hinting at the gears turning in his mind. "We must proceed with caution, lest we feel the full brunt of her wrath again."
Their shadows danced in the moonlight as they strategized, each one a silent acknowledgment of the formidable force that had altered their plans. The night held its breath, waiting for the next move in this high-stakes game of cat and mouse, where you were the predator and they the prey.

As you soared majestically through the emerald labyrinth of the forest, the whispers of the leaves seemed to carry an urgent message—a scent that was as familiar to you as the very fabric of your existence—Aizawa, the beacon of your academic life, was in dire peril! Your heart racing with the tempo of a thousand wings, you dove with the grace of a falcon, your eyes zeroing in on the spectacle unfolding before you: your esteemed mentor, locked in a dance of combat with a twisted doppelgänger of Dabi, the malevolent villain. Without the slightest pause, you propelled yourself into the fray, your gleaming claws carving through the air like lightning bolts to dismember the treacherous clone before it could lay a finger on the man you revered.
"Are you unharmed, esteemed Aizawa-sensei?" you inquired with a gentle nuzzle, your voice tinged with the echoes of the wind that had borne you here. He nodded, his chest heaving from the exertion of the battle. "You are an unexpected yet most welcome guardian," he managed to murmur, his eyes gleaming with a mix of relief and curiosity. "But why do you grace us with your presence here? Shouldn't you be ensconced in the regal halls of your class, 1-B?"
You offered a cryptic hum, your gaze flitting to the forest's edge where the shadows cavorted with the dappled moonlight. "Indeed, I should be in my academic sanctum," you replied, "but the embrace of Morpheus eluded me this evening. In the quietude of the night, I sought the clarity of the hunt, never anticipating I would stumble upon such a nefarious plot."
Aizawa brushed a stray lock of his hair away from his eyes, the corners of his mouth lifting in a ghost of a smile. "Then heed your instincts, valiant one," he whispered, his hand lingering on your cheek, a silent benediction. "Protect your kin in 1-B. I shall retreat to the safety of the camp and safeguard the young minds entrusted to me." With a final, reassuring pat, he melded into the enveloping shadows, leaving you to face the murky enigma that the forest had yet to reveal.
The air was thick with the scent of conflict, the trees standing sentinel around you as you contemplated the perilous path ahead. What other nefarious beings lurked in the verdant embrace of the woods? The shadows played a symphony of fear on the walls of your mind as you prepared to confront the looming danger, your spirit as steadfast as the ancient oaks that bore witness to your silent vow. The night had transformed from a tranquil respite into a battleground, and you, the guardian of the skies, were ready to wage war against the malevolence that sought to disrupt the harmony of your world.

"I figured I'd left an impression, you tiny ember," you jeered, locking gazes with the pyromaniac. "Guess I'm not your typical instructor, huh?"
Momo's desperate cry, "Y/N!" sliced through the crackling ambiance as the flaming fiend drew near. Her Quirk flared into action, toppling a towering arboreal sentinel to form a makeshift rampart, the bark groaning in protest as it crashed to the ground.
"Bolt!" you bellowed, the flames' ferocity searing your scales, each one a brand of torment.
Facing Dabi, you vowed with smoldering eyes, "This isn't over. I'll school you good, little spark." A flicker of concern danced in his fiery gaze, swiftly veiled as he quipped, "Looking forward to it, once you're back in your place."
Suddenly, a haunting whistle sliced the air. A man in a peculiarly vibrant yellow coat and a tall hat emerged from the flickering shadows, a macabre smile playing on his masked face. He lobbed something at you with a flourish. As it made contact, the world around you was swallowed by an uncanny quietude, eerier than a deserted street at midnight.
