Honestly, how did we end up here? Honestly, me and Deku were calmly exploring the woods when the male rushed ahead of me. I followed him up a hill where an injured Kota was holding an arm and a villain was standing over the small child. I threw my pocket watch ahead of me. When it missed the villain I panicked—this was the first time I missed a shot ever. Instead of hitting the Villain I made sure the watch tangled itself around Kotas foot.
Everyone, including myself, was confused. 'Well fuck, roll with the punches... Forgive me Kota.'
I yanked on the cord hard and pulled him towards me, he hit his back on the cold dirt floor. He slid through the villains legs and they tried to grab the small child.
"I can't believe a villain ended up right here!" He was freaking out hard, so I pulled up Kota and untangled him. The boy hit me on the shoulder as Deku continued his sentence. "Damn it, my cell phone broke from that just now. I'm sure you just brought your watches right?.. Dammit We came here without telling anyone... Which means, we can't hope for any reinforcements like last time..."
"Yeah... but listen, we have kota! All we have to do is escape?"
"Why do you always insist on running away?" Deku scolded me.
"It's easier than fighting this unknown villain?"
"You always run away, you never fight! You never do anything you're supposed to do! You have so much potential but you never use it?!"
"I'm just saying our top priority should be Kotas safety?"
"It's not what you're actually thinking! Why don't you ever hold your ground?"
"Why are you arguing with me right now?"
"Because I'm sick of you doing this! Back at the USJ! Back at the sports festival! Back when you have a one v one with all might! Right this very second! Do you even want to be a hero! Do you even want to be in class 1A?!"
"I'm not having this conversation with you!" I finally snapped.
"....If you want to run, then go. Just bring Kota back to his aunt safely." He shooed me away. I debated on whether to stay and fight or run off and protect the young child. I cursed under my breath and pushed Kota behind me. I swung my pocket watch to protect him.
"Don't tell me what to do."
The villain, known as Muscular, cackled a little before turning down to the trio. "Oh you want to stay now? You want to become a hero now! You want to put on your fancy costume and play the hero! Don't make me laugh! You guys are so cute. Your kind shows up everywhere, talking about justice. You're the one called Midoriya, right?"
"What about it?" Izuku snarled as Muscular cracked his knuckles.
"This is perfect. We were told to take the initiative and kill you. For your little friends, I don't really care about them. I was never given an order about you two so i'll just throw you two off the cliff with your little stopwatch.-- but you, I'll make sure to torment you thoroughly, so show me your blood!"
"He's coming!" He shouted and we jumped out of the way. Jesus, he's just as fast as he was in the anime.
Muscular stood up and smoke covered us, "Whoops! I almost forgot, if you know, tell me... where's the kid called Bakugou? There was another name but I couldn't care less about them."
"Kacchan?!"
"Another name?"
"I still have to do my job."
"They're after Kacchan?! Why! That muscle-like Quirk is so fast... so strong...!" The greenlette started to ramble, I could tell he was panicking. His breathing was getting rapid, "Y/N please do me a favor. Take Kota, run off and warn the others about Bakugou."
"Wait--you're not allowed to leave!"
"What about you?"
"Our top priority is keeping Kota safe and most importantly spreading the news about Kacchan! I'll follow after you!"
"Fine... I'll leave this fight to you...." Lifting off Kota, I quickly sprinted off using my clocks to swing from tree to tree. Escaping the villain, I heard Muscular roar behind us.
Kota complained in my arms, telling me to let him go and to put him down. All I could do was hold tight and convince him it's going to be all okay. He extended his arms to my classmate who decided to stay behind and fight.
"Mr. Aizawa!" I shouted and crashed into our teacher, we collapsed onto the floor next to him. Before anyone could stop me I swung off into the direction of both Bakugou and hopefully Todoroki. I trust that Kota will be smart enough to spread the message for me.
I swung from branch to branch, it cracked under my weight. I've gotta push myself to reach the pair. My only problem is, where are they? It took me a few minutes to find them and when I did I let out a screech.
I landed on top of Todoroki and an injured fellow by mistake, he greeted me with a face full of dirt. "..Hello, Y/N."
"My bad, still can't stick the landing." I immediately got off of the split hair male. "I landed on Mr.Aizawa while delivering Kota like five minutes ago."
"...You did...Who did you land on?"
"It doesn't matter--Where Bakugou. I need to tell you guys something important " I asked.
"He's up ahead blasting monsters." Shoto pointed ahead of him where conveniently, a small explosion erupted. I helped the unconscious male back on his back, Todoroki hitched him up higher. "He keeps rushing off without me..."
"Someone put him on a backpack leash, let's go!" I rushed ahead and called out the blonde. He angrily flipped me off before punching me in the stomach.
I doubled over in pain, "Stop making so much noise in my head!"
"Don't go rushing carelessly into anything." Todoroki enjoyed seeing me in pain as he put his arm on my back, using me as a table. "What did you have to tell us?"
I flipped back the blond before standing up straight again, "I...d-damn, fuck you bitch--my stomach hurts now...A-Anyways the League of Villains are actually after you, bakubitch."
"You're being targeted!" Todoroki immediately became alert.
"That damn Deku did something, I just know it." Katsuki kicked at the floor before going on his little tantrum. "Saying 'fight' then 'Don't fight'" He started to shake his hands and point them up to the sky, "I don't give a damn what anyone says!"
"He's good at using the terrain with his Quirk."
"Even though he just looks like some scrawny small fry! You bastard!"
"Looks like he's got a lot of experience." Todoroki shrugged his shoulders but he didn't take his eyes off of the forest.
"You can ask him when you see him--for now let's get you back safely--" I reached out to the male before he swatted my hand away.
"Nah, fuck that! Like hell I'm listening to that damn quirkless idiot and I'm definitely not listening to any timekeeper." He pushed me backwards and just continued to walk deeper into the woods. My shoulders got a chill, 'we're being watched... fuck please Deku hurry up...'
"We'll be surrounded by flames, and everyone will die." Todoroki shot immediately back, "Do you get it? Do you want to die?"
"Shut up! I know!"
"Even if we try to retreat, there's gas... They're obviously trying to drive us into a corner."
"Which is why you guys should listen to me and we should head back to Mr. Aizawa!"
"We would if we could go back through the glass. Even if you carry both of us through the trees I'm sure one of us would pass out. It's better if we just continue to walk this way and find our own path." Todoroki followed the other male and I was left defeated. Nothing I could say convinced them, I'm not the main character here.
I hold no influence.
"Weren't you teamed up with Deku?" Todoroki finally noticed I was by myself. I explained the whole situation and what happened with Kota. "Is he okay?"
"From where I left him, yeah."
"...then stick with us for a while."
We walked deeper into the woods and I couldn't control my nerves, every tree we passed I knew some villain was hiding above in. One dropped above us and I immediately recognized them as Moonfish.
"We can't catch a break..." I wined and pulled out my watch.
"Flesh... Piece of meat... Flesh..." Bakugou immediately went on the defensive side and started to attack, but the mister was too swift. They dodged every attack we threw at them. "I can't get near him, damn it! The only thing I can do is blast him with everything I've got..."
"That sounds like a horrible idea—"
"You can't!"
Bakugou swatted our complaints away, "If the trees burn, just cover them with ice right after! If things get too heated just have Y/N swing the four of us away, that's the only thing they're really good at doing."
"You both say the same thing!" I threw my hands up in the air. You don't want to fight every single thing in the woods and suddenly you're the deranged one.
"The blast will impair my vision, too! What'll happen if I can't stop all of it? Our opponent has the advantage in both number of moves and distance!"
Bakugou didn't hear our complaints and instead just blew up the area in front of us. Just like we suspected, the trees quickly caught fire and todoroki worked hard to reverse the effects. I swung at the monster and pulled Bakugou back with my chains every time he happened to get a little too close to danger.
"Bakugo! Y/N! Todoroki!" We spun around to our classmates, Deku seated on his back. I expected him to come back a little better but atlast his arms were still broken and his right eye was closed.... Guilt rushing to my cheeks "One of you, please--Make some light!"
"Shoji and Midoriya?...Tokoyami?!" Todoroki greeted as Dark shadow roared above us, even the villain got startled.
"Don't forget the dark shadow..." I pointed upwards as Dark shadow raged.
"How can I forget..."
"Hurry up and make light! Tokoyami is out of control!" Shoji pointed upwards.
"I can see... Indiscriminate attacks, huh? All right, I'll use my flames..."
Bakugou held out an arm, "Wait, idiot."
"Flesh... Piece of meat...." The villain immediately attacked Dark Shadow with his teeth. "It's no good... I can't allow it... I'm the only one who's allowed to look at a cross-section of those kids... Don't steal them from me...!"
Todoroki and Bakugou immediately blasted Moonfish and he went flying backwards. Tokoyami was freed and I caught him before he hit the ground. Blaugou snarled as his hands cackled. "I told you... I'm a bad match-up for you, birdbrain."
"Sorry... Thanks for saving me..." He thanked us and weakly got to his feet, I stabilized him. He apologized to everyone as well. "Sorry, Shoji, you too Midoriya... I was too immature... I let my anger take over and released Dark Shadow... The influence of the darkness and my anger spurred on that guy... In the end, it got so strong that I couldn't hold it back and ended up hurting Shoji."
Todoroki's eyes looked around, I felt the presence of someone watching us as well, "We can leave that for later. That's what you would say, right? Oh, right! We confirmed that one of the villains' targets is Kacchan."
"There's another target..." Deku quickly shouted, "I tried to get more information out of him but he refused to tell me."
"Bakugou and another student? Are they trying to kill him? Why? I don't know."
Deku answered, "I think the camp is the safest place since there are two pros, Vlad King and Mr. Aizawa, are there?"
"I see. So now our mission is to escort Bakugo there, huh?"
"But at the clearing, the Pussycats are still fighting. Going back on the path would bring us to the attention of the villains, and we'd lose time. We should cut straight across. We don't know how many villains there are."
I jumped into the conversation, "Well, we might come across one suddenly. The forest is crawling with them..."
"We can use Shoji's search ability and we have Todoroki's freezing, and if Tokoyami is okay with it, an invincible Dark Shadow with built-in controls... Y/N, if it's fine with you, you can be our lookout from the trees. Honestly, with this group, we could probably even go up against All Might."
Bakugou crossed his arms, "What's with you guys?!"
"You walk in the middle." Shoto poked his classmate
"Don't protect me, you scum!"
"Let's head out"
"Don't fucking ignore me!"
"Make sure you keep up."
"Don't tell me what to do!"
"Get everyone back safely."
