Rachel lost consciousness for quite a while when she woke up, she heard her friends screaming. It turned out that the toothy villain, who cut off her hand, was defeated by Tokoyami and his Dark Shadow ability.. Along with the other three was Midoriya and Shoji, who helped them calm Dark Shadow.

Takao got up wobbly on her feet and slowly moved towards them. The wound hurt her, but at that moment girl tried not to focus on it.

"Oi! " She called in a weak voice and went out from behind the bushes to her friends. "Ah, Katsuki, I'm glad to see you..." She approached him slowly, but then she fell from strength and would collided with the ground if he hadn't been for Bakugou holding her. "It's good that you're okay..." Looked at him. Boy was frightened to see her wound.

"Oi, Ray...? " He looked at her wound.

"What happened?! " Deku asked.

"The guy with big teeth attacked me..."She hoarsely and, with the help of blond man, sat on the ground. "It's nothing like that... Just a little... Hurts... "

"Wait. " Todoroki knelt beside her. "I'll freeze it for now. " Pointed to the wound.

"Good idea. " She smiled at him, and after a while Shoto used his ability. "Thank you." Nodded.

Later, they began to consult which way would be the safest. They didn't want to encounter villains again, they wanted to somehow bypass further unnecessary skirmishes, in addition, no one wanted the opponents to get what they came here for. Bakugou.

"Oi! Don't decide for me! " Katsuki shouted, when everyone was on the road.

"It should be harder for them to get you. " Takao said walking next to him.

"I don't need anyone's protection! "He snorted.

"I'm aware of that. But I don't want anything to happen to you..." She said a little quieter, but he heard it anyway. "The others are thinking the same, and Kiri is certainly worried. "

"Why are you so worried about this?! " He asked looking at her. "Why are you still panicking whether I die or not?! What do you want from me?! What are you thinking?!"I've already said, I don't need anyone's help! "

"Can't you really understand even that?! " She shouted at him.

"Argue a little quieter..." Shoji shook his head.

"No, I don't understand! "Bakugou didn't pay attention to him. "You still care and worry, what the hell do you... "

"You're my friend, idiot! " She slapped him in the head. "And I care about you!"

"You say that, but you won't admit the truth yourself. " He snorted.

"Huh? " She was a bit surprised.

"Maybe you will finally tell the truth yourself, huh?! It's time to admit it! " They continued to argue. "I have more questions that you have to answer! "

"Go ahead, I'll answer! " Takao replied nervously. "But not now. When it's all over, then... " She broke off at the moment when she felt a slight breeze and rustling.

Teenager quickly turned towards Bakugou, but he was no longer there.

"Huh... " She looked around surprised. "Katsuki?"

"Where is Bakugou? "They heard the voice of Asui and Uraraka, their team came across them.

"The boy you're talking about..." Above them, on one of the thicker branches of the trees, stood another man whom Rachel recognized. It was Mr. Compress. "I took it with my magic. " He said, looking at angry Takao. "It's not a talent that should be wasted. Right? "Continued to look at dark-haired woman. "We'll take him to a stage where he can shine brighter. "

"Give him back! "Deku couldn't stand it anymore.

""Give him back?" Mr. Compress repeated after him in surprise. "Strange, really strange. Bakugou doesn't belong to anyone. He is a free man, how selfish. "

"If you say that he is a free man, let him go and let him decide! " Rachel shouted, and at the same time Todoroki attacked the villain with his ice ability, but the latter easily avoided the attack.

"We just want to show him that the path he's walking now, is not the only one he can follow. Nowadays, children can choose their own paths based on their own values. "

" Tokoyami disappeared too!" Shoji will exclaim.

" He took two from the back without making any sound? " Todoroki wondered. "What ability does he have? You came out of hiding and talked to us... " He looked at the villain. "You don't appreciate us. "

"Initially, I was an artist, you know? " The opponent said. "It's a little habit of mine. " Said while playing with one of the balls in which he locked their friends. "Taking Tokoyami was an improvisation on my part. Moonfish... The Man with the "Teeth of blades"... He may not look like it, but he was a murderer sentenced to death whose appeal was rejected. With such a cruel and crazy character who crushed this murderer with one blow, I decided that he could also be suitable. "

"Give them back! " Deku shouted.

"Takao-san... " Todoroki glanced at his companion, who just nodded.

Shoto conjured up the ice with which he attacked the villain, distracting him while Rachel bounced off the rising iceberg and attacked the enemy. The villain released the balls for a moment, but then he shook off, took them and ran away.

Thanks to the ability of Uraraka and Asui, their other companions managed to catch up with the villain and ground him, literally, because they all landed hard on the ground.

Unfortunately, as soon as they got there, another villain called Dabi attacked them with his blue fire. Rachel managed to shield her friends by conjuring up a makeshift cover.

There were also Toga and Twice, who immediately attacked the other disciples, in one moment another fight began.

After a few minutes of fighting, Shoji was sure that he had managed to deceive the villains. He thought he had managed to take the bulls in which their friends were trapped, but that wasn't the case. The villain who kidnapped them, hid their friends in a completely different place, so now, the future heroes are left with nothing.

Immediately afterwards, portals created by Kurogiri appear around, the villains began to flee in addition to having kidnapped students with them. Their friends, along with Rachel, rushed to their rescue. They were too far away and already feared that they wouldn't make it, but at that moment out of nowhere appeared Aoyama, another student from 1-A, who with his ability knocked bulls out of the hands of the enemy.

Everyone rushed at them to catch them first. Midoriya was eliminated first, and Todoroki was stopped by Dabi. Shoji, on the other hand, caught one of the bulls, and Rachel was already approaching the other one, when suddenly another villain appeared in front of her...

"Dara?! " She was surprised to see him right in front of her.

"I'm sorry, Ray-chin. " He replied in a soft voice and then grabbed the ball and pushed his friend aside.

Girl fell right next to a shocked Todoroki. When the villains disappeared into the portal, Mr. Compress freed the students from their mini prisons, so that at the moment students from 1-A were already sure that Bakugou had been taken by their enemies.

"Kacchan! " Deku shouted as blond man disappeared into the portal with his opponents.

"Katsuki!"Rachel tried to get there, but she didn't make it.

It was too late. Bakugou was kidnapped by the villains.

"Damn it... "Takao knelt down. "Damn! "

Then everything happened all too fast. The wounded students were taken to hospitals, the camp was over, and Bakugou was lost without a trace. Professionals were reportedly already developing a plan on how to get him back.

Rachel was sitting on her hospital bed with her legs huddled and her elbows resting on them. Dark-haired woman stared sadly at the window. Her treatment went well, and Hatsume made a second hand for her, a prosthesis that teenager was already able to use. After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door, and immediately after that, none other than Kirishima came in.

"Ray-chan, you should lie down. " He said, looking at girl sitting and staring at the window.

"I'm sorry..." She said, heartbroken, and looked at her friend with tears in her eyes. "I could have saved him... I could have prevented it... " Cried. "I'm sorry..." She hid her face in her hands.

Eijiro approached her and sat next to her on the bed, then hugged her.

"Don't blame yourself. " He stroked her on the back. "You've done enough." Said sadly and glanced at her prosthesis. "It's not your fault. "

"No, Kiri..." She interrupted him. "It is all my fault! If I had guessed earlier, if I had made other decisions, it wouldn't have turned out this way... If only I stopped Dara from leaving! Maybe he wouldn't stand in my way, and Bakugou would be here with us now... " Shook her head.

"I also wanted to save him..." Kirishima interjected. "When I found out they wanted to kidnap my buddy, I couldn't just sit back. " Said sadly. "But they didn't let us go and help... It's so bad. " Shook his head. "That's why... Todoroki and I devised a plan... " His words caught Takao's attention. "As we passed the Yaoyorozu room, we heard her talking to All Might. She created a transmitter, and with help of a second receiver, we can easily find a hiding place where Bakugou are kept. But Yaoyorozu may not agree to help us... "

"It won't be needed. " Takao interjected, at which boy looked at her. Girl knew the location of the villains' hideout anyway, but she stated that for appearances, she would also hook the transmitter on one of the opponents. "I did the same thing as Momo-chan. I can give you a receiver. "

"Really?! " Student was surprised.

"Yes..." She nodded and handed the item to her friend. "That's why, please, Kiri..."Sadly lowered her head. "Save him..."Said with tears in her eyes. "Bring him back. "

"I will. " He said with a smile. "You have my word. " Hugged her again.

"Be careful. " Rachel said worried.

"I will." He nodded, then smiled, and after a few minutes left the room.

From what she learned from Kirishima, they were to go to Bakugou's aid tonight. Girl hoped that they would succeed, but she couldn't sit idly by.

When evening came, teenager found her clothes, changed into new clothers and quietly escaped from the hospital. When she had passed a few streets, suddenly someone stood in her way.

"Well, hello. "Quite familiar man called and smiled. "Did you miss me?"

It was the same guy who threatened her a few days after starting school. Teenager didn't have time to do anything, because someone came from behind her, covered her mouth with a kerchief, which was soaked in a sleeping pill and after a while girl lost consciousness.
