Chapter Fifteen - Zero Hour

As the morning Sun rose on UA, Blacktongue cultists began gathering around UA. They began chanting an ancient incantation. Meanwhile, the students of Class 1-A began to wake up and prepare for morning classes. As they prepared for class, Talia looked out the window and saw the Blacktongue cultists performing the incantation. Immediately, Talia sensed something terrible. Shoji was quick to notice this. 

Shoji: Talia? Are you alright?

Talia was unresponsive to Shoji's question. She became fixated on what was happening outside. She soon felt a dark presence growing. The dark presence grew stronger and stronger to the point where it nearly overwhelmed her. 

Shoji: Talia? 

As Talia snapped out of her trance, she immediately began running. She ran past her confused classmates in a state of panic. Eventually, Talia reached the Class 1-A classroom where Pan and Aizawa were preparing for today's lesson. 

Pan: Talia? What are you doing here? Class hasn't started yet. 

Talia: Pan! I....I.....

Pan: Calm yourself Talia. Take a breath and collect your thoughts. What's wrong? 

Talia: Something....something terrible is happening! 

Aizawa: What are you talking about? 

Talia: I....I saw them! They're out there! Outside the school! 

Pan: Who's out there?

Talia: The Blacktongues! There's a group of them outside the school performing some kind of ritual! 

As Talia said this, Pan and Aizawa were quick to take Talia's warning seriously. Pan and Aizawa ran outside the classroom with Talia. Talia then points out the Blacktongues performing their ritual outside the school. There was a line of Blacktongues performing a ritual as their tattoos began to glow. 

Aizawa: What the hell is going on out there?

Pan: We must alert Principal Nezu immediately! The Blacktongues are planning an attack! 

With that, Pan and Aizawa ran for Principal Nezu's office to warn him of the imminent attack of the Blacktongues. Meanwhile outside UA, the Blacktongue cultists continued their ritual. As they continued their ritual, one of the Blacktongues was approached by a police officer. 

Police Officer: Sir! I'm going to have to ask you and your companions to leave this area immediately!

The Blacktongues ignore the officer as they continued to perform the ritual. 

Police Officer: I will not ask you again. Disperse or you will all be placed under arrest! 

The Blacktongues continue to ignore the officer's orders while they continue their ritual. At that point, the officer moved in to arrest the Blacktongues. As he got close to them, an arrow pierces the officer's throat, killing him instantly. As the officer was killed, people nearby began to run away in panic. Meanwhile, Pan and Aizawa reached Nezu's office. 

Nezu: Mr. Aizawa! Mr. Pan! What can I do for you two today?

Pan: We need to evacuate the school immediately! Something terrible is happening! 

Nezu: What are you talking about?

Aizawa: Right now there's about a dozen Blacktongues outside the school performing some kind of ritual. 

Suddenly, loud explosions were heard. Pan and Aizawa along with Nezu ran outside his office and looked out the window to see the bodies of the Blacktongues outside the school dissolving into magic energy. One by one, the Blacktongue cultists combusted and formed several portals to Tartarus. As the ritual was complete, a horde of Tartarus Fiends began walking out of the portals. Meanwhile, Talia as well as her fellow classmates saw the Tartarus Fiends surrounding the school. 

Mineta: What are those things?!

Jiro: Fiends of Tartatus! 

Yaoyorozu: That can only mean one thing....

Midoriya: The Blacktongues! 

As Midoriya came to this conclusion, an announcement was made on the intercom. 

Nezu(Intercom): Attention all students and staff! This is Principal Nezu! UA is under attack! I repeat, UA is under attack! All students are to be escorted to the Sports Festival Stadium to take refuge in response to this attack!

As the announcement was made, the Tartarus Fiends were already breaking through through the glass windows. As Tartarus Fiends began pouring into the halls, Bakugo unleashes a powerful explosion which blows the Tartarus Fiends away. 

Bakugo: TAKE THAT YOU FUCKING UNDEAD BASTARDS! I'LL SEND YOU ALL BACK TO HELL! 

Suddenly, a volley of arrows was unleashed on the students of Class 1-A. Pan was able to create a large magic barrier to protect the students. 

Bakugo: HEY WHAT FUCKING GIVES?! I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SEND THESE BASTARDS BACK TO HELL!

Pan: We are outnumbered here! Fighting the Blacktongues here would be most unwise! Mr. Aizawa and I will gather all the teachers! Talia! You and the Argonauts will escort your fellow students to the Sports Festival Stadium! Once you've done so, you will make your way to your classroom! Be careful. The Blacktongues will not hesitate to kill you. 

Midoriya: We won't let you down, Pan!

With that, Pan provided a distraction while the Argonauts began leading their classmates to the Sports Festival Stadium. Talia was hesitant to leave Pan alone, but she had faith in him. As the Tartarus Fiends began besieging UA, Xerxos looks upon what was happening with pride. 

Xerxos: Today is a glorious day, my brothers and sisters. Tonight, we will demonstrate our undying love and loyalty to Hecate. What we do here will ensure our place in paradise. Remember what must be done. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy. What we do here echoes in eternity. 

With that, Xerxos led the Blacktongues in a daring assault on UA. They would show no mercy to anyone who crossed their path in the attack on UA. In this moment, the Blacktongues were ready to demonstrate their fanatical devotion to Hecate.
