Aizawa's POV-

"Damn.." I mutter under my breath, gritting my teeth from the pain. A giant creature with it's brain sticking out of it's head stands on top of me, pinning me down with one of his hands on my injured arm.

"Meet the anti-symbol of peace. The bio-engineered 'Nomu'."

Their boss gives me the creepiest smile, his lips chapped and crusty like the rest of his skin. Fitting for a guy with a quirk that can disintegrate whatever he touches. He's probably the one that destroyed the gate to the school, I think to myself with a grimace.

Thanks to Zai's quirk, I was able to keep my erasure going for a lot longer than normal. Those speakers of hers were a genius idea, I'll give her that. Every so often I tried to glance her way, and she didn't seem to be having any issues with the other villains.

Maybe I was wrong about her after all.

"Canceling out quirks.. pretty cool, but nothing special. Up against crazy strength, you may as well be totally quirkless." I let out an anguished cry as the Nomu snaps my arm like a twig. Pain shoots through it and burns as if I caught flame here and now, causing their boss to burst into laughter. 

"GET YOUR CRUSTY ASS AWAY FROM HIM!"

No!!

I look over to see Zai sprinting full force towards us, the smile on her face already far gone. Her eyes shift and change color with her serious expression, going from her usual stark gold to a deep purple. It looks as if there's a miniature galaxy inside those glowing orbs of hers.

Zai, stay away!! I don't even have the strength to speak, and I feel my heart stop as their leader extends a hand towards her. The girl throws her microphone chord, using it like a capture weapon to wrap around him. 

Now where have I seen that before?

I can feel the Nomu's hand slowly remove itself from my arm, panic filling my chest as she goes in to launch a kick at their leader. The man wraps his other hand on her leg upon collision, and I hear her own cry of pain as her leg begins to disintegrate.

"Keep your hands to yourself, chapstick deprived ass bitch!" Zai says as she leaps away with quite a bit of damage to her leg, pulling back her microphone chord to keep it from being disintegrated as well.

She probably knows she can't use her quirk without affecting everybody, I think to myself, before the Nomu finally takes action. I watch in horror as he grabs her injured leg from his position on top of me, and lifts her from the ground before slamming her back into it. 

Over. And Over. And over again.

No.. please stop! Zai cries out in pain with each collision, and I see blood spurt from her mouth as she desperately tries to fight back. I struggle underneath the Nomu as he shifts his grip on her, his palm holding her by the back of her head. Her eyes are barely open, and I watch as they return to their normal color and begin to dull as her life drains away.

"My my, I suppose I may have over estimated your students EraserHead," their leader says with a smile, looking at Zai's now limp body. "Isn't she the singer that just moved here from Hosu? Oh what a shame, I've always enjoyed her performances. Well, Nomu, how about we return this girl to her parents?"

My heart shatters as the Nomu smashes her face into the ground. I'm sorry, Zai.. I think to myself, tears burning behind my eyes as the Nomu tosses her body across the plaza and out of my view. 

I promised I'd protect you and your sister. I failed you both.. I only hope that someday you'll forgive me. Thanks to you, I was able to defeat so many of them and protect everyone else up until now.

Your sacrifice will not be in vain.

Kirishima's POV-

"Come on Bakubro! We gotta hurry and get to the others," I say with a serious expression. We ended up getting warped together and fought in this destroyed city area. It really didn't take long to take down all of the villains, I only hope the rest of our classmates had similar luck.

I clench my fists in anger, wishing I could have kept Zai from being taken. I promised her I'd protect her, and she was the first to be warped away, I think to myself with a frown. Thankfully we now know she must have been put somewhere else, so I'm sure she could handle herself.

Bakugo opens his mouth to reply before an earsplitting scream cuts through the air. Both of us look over at the plaza, and my heart sinks in my chest as I watch Zai being thrown around like a ragdoll by a large disgusting monster. 

Bakugo darts forward as she's tossed into the air, myself following quickly after him as he catches her on her way down. Her head looks like it was bashed in, blood pouring down her face with a pained expression left on her face. The light in her eyes is gone, her body broken and eerily still.

Oh please tell me she's alive! I think to myself as Bakugo visibly gets more angry by the second, doing his best to hide it as he takes her pulse. "She's alive, but barely," he says before narrowing his eyes at me. "She needs to get back to Thirteen and the others, Iida can probably rush her back to Recovery Girl."

"But how are we supposed to escape with that warp guy still blocking the exit?" I reply as he shifts her into my arms. "He'll probably try to warp us away again, or worse!"

"Won't you shut the fuck up shitty hair?" Bakugo replies, rolling his eyes with a scowl on his face. "He'll be too focused on the others to care about you, and Zai doesn't have much time! If Iida or Ama haven't already left then have them take her back."

"Wow Bakugo, I've never seen you care so much about someone before!" I remark with a laugh, shifting Zai in my arms so it's easier to carry her. Instead of yelling at me like he usually would for saying such a thing, the blonde merely narrows his eyes and looks away.

"Hurry up, I'm going to go and kick some villain ass."

I give him a shark toothed smile before hurrying off towards the entrance of the USJ. The smile falters as I see Zai start breathing shakily, her chest barely rising and falling with it. C'mon Zai, stay with us! I think to myself, my gaze hardening as I see some of the others along with that Warp Guy from before.

Thirteen is laying on the ground, half of his space suit completely in tatters. Amaterasu was the first to notice me, her face paling once she sees her sister in my arms. "ZAI!!!" she cries, hurrying over to me. "No no no, tell me she's not.."

"She's alive, but we need to get her to recovery girl NOW," I reply, and Iida hurries over to take her from me. "What happened to Thirteen?"

"The villain that teleported you all warped his quirk, using it against him," Our class rep explains in a panicked tone. "He's barely hanging on!"

"Exactly, so hurry up and go Iida!" Sato calls, clenching his fists. "Thirteen told you to go get help, why are you still here?"

Iida stutters for a moment before shaking his head. "You're right, sorry. I'll make sure to return as fast as I can!" He says, before turning to head for the door.

"Wait!" Ama says, creating her signature hoverboard and gliding towards Iida. "I'm coming too! She's my sister after all."

"Good, the two fastest people in class should be able to get the job done!" I say as they both nod to each other and make a break for it towards the door.

"How impertinent! I won't allow you to leave!" The man made of mist cries as he hurries to block their escape. Uraraka, who was beside Thirteen with Mina, begins to bolt towards the villain with a determined expression.

"What are you going to do, Uraraka?!" Mina cries after her while I take her place beside Thirteen. The space hero is completely knocked out, I only hope that we'll be able to get help in time..

"You underestimate me, four-eyes!" The warp villain says as he gains on them. "Now vanish!"

I watch as Uraraka catches up fairly quickly, grabbing hold of what seems to be a metal casing inside the mist. "I'm not sure why, but if you're wearing this thing you MUST have a real body in there!" She cries as she activates her quirk. "Now go, Iida and Ama!"

The warp villain begins to float into the air, causing him to panic as Sero grabs a hold of him with his tape. "Go! Do it!" The living tape dispenser calls, and the two manage to pry open the doors and rush out of the USJ.

Thank god.. I think to myself with a soft smile, before narrowing my eyes at the warp villain. Now.. we just have to hold out a little longer.

Please.. be safe, everyone.

AHHHH the scene where Zai gets her face bashed in was a plan from the beginning, I was so excited to write that scene you guys have NO idea xD.

Tomura Shigaraki- Quirk: Decay. Anything he touches with all of his fingers begins to disintegrate into dust. The larger the area, the longer it will take, but it can easily kill a person in a matter of moments. He nearly destroyed Aizawa's arm and Zai's leg!

He also has some crusty ass lips. What the fuck man, get some chapstick or something, fuck.
