Chapter Five - A Distress Call
On board the Eagle, the Emerald Sentinels were on patrol after completing a mission. As the Eagle flew the skies of Atmos, helmsman Tenya Iida receives a distress call.
Iida: Midoriya! The Eagle is picking up a distress signal!
Midoriya: Where is it coming from?
Iida: It's....that's odd. The distress signal coming from the Bomber.
Ochaco: The Bomber? Isn't that Bakugo's ship?
Midoriya: It is. But why's Kacchan of all people sending a distress signal?
Iida then proceeds to play the distress signal. As he does, it shows a holoprojection of Mina.
Mina(Holoprojection): Hello?! Hello?! Can anyone hear me?! This is Mina Ashido of the Ground Zeroes! I repeat, this is Mina Ashido of the Ground Zeroes!
Midoriya: Patch her through!
Without questioning, Iida patches the Eagle through to Mina.
Mina(Holoprojection): Thank goodness you answered, Midoriya! We need your help! Something bad has happened!
Midoriya: What do you mean, Mina? What's going on?
Mina(Holoprojection): We were ambushed by the Cyclonians who attacked the Sky Knight Academy! They kidnapped Kirishima and Kaminari!
Upon hearing this, the Emerald Sentinels were shocked at this revelation. They had few encounters with the Shadow Collective since the attack on the Sky Knight Academy. To hear that they had kidnapped two of their fellow Sky Knights was disturbing to hear.
Midoriya: What about Kacchan and the others?
Mina(Holoprojection): Sero and I are fine. Bakugo's....not taking this very well. We were able to convince him to call some help.
Midoriya: Say no more, Mina. Where do you need us?
Mina(Holoprojection): Thank you, Midoriya! You have no idea how much this means to us! I'm sending you the coordinates to our ship. Meet us there as quickly as possible.
Midoriya: We're on our way!
Mina(Holoprojection): I know Bakugo won't say this, so I will. Thank you, Midoriya.
With that, the holoprojection of Mina was cut off. A feeling of tense and anxiety filled the air. Midoriya then turned to Iida.
Midoriya: Take us to the coordinates Iida.
Tsuyu: Are you sure that's a good idea, Midoriya? We were barely able to fight off the Shadow Collective back at the Sky Knight Academy and that was with All Might.
Todoroki: If we don't do anything, then Kirishima and Kaminari might be killed.
Midoriya: Todoroki's right, Tsu. Kirishima and Kaminari need our help. We can't just leave them in the hands of the Cyclonians!
It became clear that that Midoriya was dead set on helping the Ground Zeroes rescue Kirishima and Kaminari. Iida then chartered a course to the coordinates given to them by Mina. As the Eagle began the journey to the coordinates, the Valkyrie under the command of the Noble Nightingales was on a routine patrol when helmsman Hitoshi Shinso recieved a distress signal.
Shinso: Momo! The Valkyrie just picked up a distress signal. It's coming from the Bomber.
Yaoyorozu: Patch it through.
Shinso then patches the distress signal to the Valkyrie where the holoprojection of Sero appears.
Sero(Holoprojection): Hello?! Hello?! Can anyone hear me?! This is Hanta Sero of the Ground Zeroes! I repeat, this is Hanta Sero of the Ground Zeroes!
Yaoyorozu: I'm reading you, Sero. What's the situation?
Sero(Holoprojection): We're in a bad situation, Momo! We were ambushed by the Cyclonians who attacked the Sky Knight Academy! They took Kirishima and Kaminari!
Upon hearing that Kaminari's name, Jiro was caught off guard.
Jiro: What?! Denki got kidnapped?!
Sero(Holoprojection): Unfortunately. Before we realized what happened, they were gone. We're in a bad way and we need help.
Tokoyami: How long ago was this?
Sero(Holoprojection): Not too long ago. We tried to pick up a trail, but we're having no luck so far. We need help! Mina's trying to get Midoriya's squad.
Upon hearing this, the Noble Nightingales were deeply troubled by this. The fact that the Shadow Collective were able to not only ambush a Sky Knight Squadron, but also kidnap two of it's members was shocking. Jiro was especially troubled knowing Kaminari was one of the ones who were kidnapped.
Jiro: We need to help, Yaomomo! Kaminari is in serious trouble!
Shoji: I agree. The Ground Zeroes is going to need our help.
Yaoyorozu took a moment to think about this. She remembered how the Shadow Collective nearly overwhelmed them back at the attack of the Sky Knight Academy. Despite the dangers of this mission, the answer was clear.
Yaoyorozu: We will help you rescue Kirishima and Kaminari.
Sero(Holoprojection): Thanks, Momo! We owe you one!
Yaoyorozu: There's no need. Send us the coordinates to where we need to go.
Sero then sends the Noble Nightingales the coordinates to the Bomber. Afterwards, the holoprojection of Sero is cut. Yaoyorozu then speaks with her fellow Noble Nightingales.
Jiro: Thank you, Yaomomo!
Yaoyorozu: There's no need to thank me, Jiro. Kirishima and Kaminari are Sky Knights as well as our friends. We will rescue them.
Tokoyami: This also could be our chance to take down the Shadow Collective.
Shoji: But that only makes things much dangerous. There has to be a reason as to why they kidnapped them in the first place.
Yaoyorozu: We'll find out soon enough. For now, we'll meet up with Bakugo and Midoriya to discuss a plan. Shinso, take us to those coordinates.
Shinso: Coordinates set.
With that, Shinso chartered a course to the coordinates to the Bomber. In that moment, the Ground Zeroes were successful in their attempts to recruit the Emerald Sentinels and the Noble Nightingales. Once they made their way to the Bomber, they would then work to form a plan to rescue Kirishima and Kaminari from the Shadow Collective.
