CW: Canon violence, kidnapping

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Is that smoke?"

"Woah-!"

"Pixie-Bob!" Izuku yelled as everyone watched Pixie-Bob being pulled towards 2 figures.

"Get any closer and I'll squish this kitty's head to mush." One of them had what looked like they had a bar of metal to Pixie-Bob's head.

"Now, now Big Sis Mag, when deciding to kill someone we should think of Stain's will." The Lizard man said. Iruka watched this unfold before slowly walking behind Tenya.

"Stain? So you're the one he inspired." Izuku called out.

"Yes, so let me introduce you the League of Villain's Vanguard team." He pulled out a sword that had multiple blades come out of it.

"All of you head back to camp, do not engage in anyone, class rep you're in charge."

"Wait a minute Spinner. There was one other person among them."

"And she's right fucking here!" Iruka gave a swift kick from behind with a pangolin's foot. As Mag (Is that what they're called?) fell forward Iruka gave her another kick to the face.

Spinner turned towards them and failed to see Tiger running towards him. Iruka used her scarf to fling both Mag and the metal bar towards Mandalay where she grabbed her and pinned her down. Spinner tried on multiple occasions to stab Tiger but only managed to skim the other's skin. Tiger on the other hand couldn't get close enough to knock Spinner out without risking injuring himself.

Iruka transformed into a full pangolin and ran towards Spinner and Tiger, breaking apart the mass of blades the former was holding and in his shock he didn't see Tiger coming at him and finally landing a punch.

Mandalay used her quirk to announce to everyone there was a full-scale villain attack and asked everyone to go back to camp and to not engage or use their quirks. Finally, Tenya and the others walked towards camp, with Tenya and Koda helping to carry Pixie-Bob, but neither Iruka nor Izuku following them. Izuku told Mandalay he would be finding Kota whilst Iruka ran into the forest to help her friends get out of the forest, much to both of the Pro Heroes' dismay.

==========

There are villains scattered all over the forest. Damniy the smoke and gas is messing with me. Everyone went down this path I'll at least be able to find someone. Shit, what am I even going to do when I find anyone.

As Iruka ran through the forest she ran past some kids from 1-B. She didn't stay long telling them to follow the path back to camp. Thankfully it was completely empty so Iruka didn't have to worry about that. What she did have to worry about was everyone else who didn't have a clear path to get back to camp.

As Iruka filtered through the trees Ochaco and Tsuyu's scent became stronger and stronger unfortunately so did someone else's scent.

Everyone, by the name of Pro Hero Eraserhead you have been granted permission to use your quirks and fight. That was a message from Mandalay. Well fuck it not like I didn't use my quirk already. Iruka changed into a hummingbird and flew towards Ochaco and Tsuyu

We've learned one of the villain's targets, it's a student called Kacchan. Kacchan if you're listening do not engage and come back to camp. Iruka watched as the blonde in front of her friends lunged at them. Tsuyu grabbed onto Ochaco and flung her up. Iruka changed into a tiger and lunger the girl pinning her down.

The blonde managed to give Iruka a cut before she tossed her aside.

"Mhhmm. I'm not much of a cat person but you're really cute." Iruka growled at her as the blond ran towards Tsuyu with what looked like some kind of needle. 

Iruka used a paw and grabbed onto the blonde's stomach flung her around and pinned her hands behind her back. Ochaco and run back towards them and Iruka destransformed.

"Iruka!" Ochaco called out.

"Ochaco help me bind her with my scarf."

"Ochaco, what a cute name~" the blonde cooed. "You must like somebody too huh. I love people who have been slashed and cut up with blood on them." She giggled.

"Shut up!" Iruka yelled as she slammed her face into the ground.

"Iruka?"

Iruka and Ochaco were pushed back as the blonde under them jumped up to put distance between them.

"There's too many people and I don't want to die tonight." She says before she jumps away.

"Why you little-" Tsuyu held Iruka back before she could go after her.

"It's too dangerous."

"Who was that girl just now?" Shoto asked, he was holding Kosei of 1-B.

"One of the villains, she was a total creep."

"Iruka are you ok?"Izuku asked, he was being carried by Ojiro.

"It's one cut I'm fine, worry about yourself wontcha?"

"We should head back to camp. You 3 should join our group, we're escorting Bakugo back with us." Ojiro said.

"If you're escorting Bakugo, shouldn't he be with you? Kero."

"Shit-"

"Nice trick don't you think? I took the lad you're talking about with my magic." Everyone turned to see a masked man atop a tree.

"Give him back!" Izuku yelled.

"Give him back? What an odd thing to say. Bakugo doesn't belong to anyone, he's his own person. Don't be so arrogant."

"If he's his own person you'll let him go and let him decide if he would even want to come with you." Iruka bit out. She grabbed ahold of her scarf.

"We'll stop you!"

"Right now." Shoto let out a burst of ice that shot up to the branch where the masked man had been.

"Why such aggression?"

"Because we fucking care about him you twat!" Iruka flung her scarf upwards to grab him but somehow he managed to fly right past it.

"Ah, you're Iruka Ito. You're also someone Shigaraki would like to talk to. We merely want to show you the options besides the thematical world of heroism you all are drowning in. It's important to choose a path that align with your core values."

"Who are you to say that being a hero isn't Kacchan's core value?!"

"If you're monologuing because you've beaten us you're mistaken."

"Forgive me I used to be an entertainer you know."

"Ochaco take this guy." Shoto created a much larger iceberg. One as big as during the sports festival yet somehow the masked man escaped.

"I am a man of escape, not so much combat." He said.

"For fucks sake!" Iruka pushed off the ground with her hands as wings and darted towards him. "YOU'LL LET HIM COME FUCKING HOME!" Iruka darted towards him and although he tumbled the villain did not falter.

The other had started to chase them from below. With every time Iruka sped up so did the villain, not giving her a chance to knock him down. Damnit why is he so fast?

Iruka hadn't noticed the plan her friends had made from below until she heard Ojiro yelling at her to get out of the way. They all fell to the ground with such a force that the ground below them broke to pieces.

"Compress get out of the way." Iruka saw a glimpse of blue before she jumped up and managed to toss up Ojiro and Izuku. Flames licked Iruka's talons. All 3 of them tumbled to the ground. 

Shoto had been attacked by another masked man. Izuku was chased after by the blond Iruka had fought earlier. 

"Do you have Bakugo?" Iruka looked up to see a familiar face.

"Dabi?" Her voice broke.

"Oh, it's miss interesting. Shigaraki is interested in you so why don't you come with us quietly." Dabi offered.

"Like hell, I'd follow you."

"Ito! Todoroki! We're done. Let's go." Iruka turned to see Ojiro holding up 2 marbles. " I don't know what your quirk is but if I'm right these marbles are Tokoyami and Bakugo."

Shoto sent a blast at the villain that was chasing him. "Good then let's go." Iruka got up to follow them but her burnt legs slowed her down.

Iruka realised neither Dabi nor the masked man followed them.

"Wait Ojiro-" The warp villain during the USJ incident appeared before them.

"It's been 5 minutes after the signal time to go." He spoke as warp gates opened all around them.

"Hold on I'm not leaving without the kid."

"Don't worry, I let them gloat after thinking the marbles in my pocket were them." Iruka turned to run at them.

"You give him back!" She ran as fast as her burnt legs would allow her.

"Just a little bit of misdirection is all." The villain bowed before slowly easing into the warp gate. "One last bow and the curtain-"

A laser beam shot directly towards his mask. Ojiro and Shoto ran to catch the 2 marbles that left the villain's mouth. Ojiro caught one but Dabi caught the other.

"Dabi no!" Iruka ran and transformed her hands into wings. She kicked off the ground and watched Katsuki appear out of the marble.

Izuku and Iruka darted towards them-

"Stay back, Izuku, Iruka."

"No!" The warp gate closed and disappeared, the villains and Katsuki gone. Iruka crashed down where they were last seen.

The scream that left Iruka's mouth made everyone around her flinch back. She had lost someone so important to her right before her very eyes, they all had. Tears still streamed down her cheeks as she got up and walked over to where Izuku lay unconscious. Iruka wobbled slightly as she dropped down next to him. 

Shoto was the first to move walking towards Iruka.

"Iruka we shou-" Iruka hissed at him before he could finish his sentence and Shoto took a step back.

Iruka slowly changed into a lion with Izuku behind her. She roared at Shoto who tried to get close.

"Ito it's just us!" Ojiro called out and earned nothing but a roar.

Iruka kept Izuku behind her with a protective stance and allowed no one to come close. Yuuga had walked out of where he was hiding but didn't make a move to get closer. They all heard footsteps get closer and Iruka started to trash around.

"Iruka!" She shifted from lion to human rapidly and roared at them. Ojiro turned around to see Shouta with his quirk activated.

"I want him back." Iruka sobbed before she fell to the ground. Shoto rushed to catch her.

"Aizawa Sensei, Bakugo he-" No one had to explain what happened. Shouta already knew he had failed his students.

Hey Lovies~!

I honestly completely forgot to post yesterday so forgive me for the late post.

My favourite part was Dabi's appearance. How did you think Iruka would react? What did you think about the ending?

Somehow my posting schedule managed to either barely avoid exams or its dead centre of it. This is my way of saying exams are around the corner again (yes it's ridiculous, I am aware). I will still be posting on the 20th of May and I have no intention of changing that don't worry.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. If you did leave a vote and/or comment.

Have a lovely day, night, weekend (or week) whenever, wherever you are.

Stay safe,

Bye Lovies~
