Two Heroes
Summer break had started and it was before they left training camp in the forest. Another training session at the pool; Eva sat on the steps outside waiting for Izuku to come out when she heard footsteps; she looked back to see Todoroki.
"Midoryia said he'll be out in a few minutes," Todoroki said as he walked past her.
"Thanks, Shoto," Eva said as she focused on the door.
"Uh, Eva?" Todoroki asked as he stopped walking; she looked at him. "My father is being invited to I-Island for the pre-opening of I-Expo."
"What sort of island?" Eva asked in confusion.
"It's a place where scientists can peacefully do their research," explained Todoroki. She stared at him. "I'm being sent to represent my father...I was wondering if you'd be my plus one." She stared at him even more; causing him to sweat.
"I'll be happy to join," Eva answered; relief filled her friend's face.
******
If Eva knew that meant getting on a plane she would have said no; Todoroki was now pulling Eva by the leg trying to get her into the plane.
"You agreed to come!" Todoroki exclaimed as Eva was holding on to the door wall of the plane.
"That was before I knew a plane was evolved!" Eva said as she pulled.
"You fly all the time!" Todoroki shouted as he pulled.
"I'm the one in control!" Eva shouted. "I'm not getting in a flying metal death trap!"
"Eva!" Todoroki shouted; he dropped her leg; before Eva could get balance he grabbed her from the front, putting her over his shoulder; bringing her into the plane. "You are being ridiculous!"
"I'm going to die!" Eva cried as the plane doors shut. Eva passed out before the plane even took off; Shoto brought her back to consciousness with an ice pack.
"You have truly never been in an airplane?" Todoroki asked as Eva stared out the window.
"No," Eva denied; she was watching the clouds; it was different not flying through them herself. "Never really been a reason too."
"But what if you wanted to go to another country?" Todoroki asked.
"I can travel through my realm," Eva answered looking back at him. "Good people technically don't need passports to go to other countries." She started to get motion sick again and looked back out the window. "How much longer?" She grabbed onto his arm, holding it tightly.
"Just a few more hours," Todoroki answered with a small smile. "Make sure to change into your hero suit before we land." Eva changed into her suit when they were about an hour away; and passed out during the landing process.
"Woah!" Eva breathed after leaving the airport. "This place is amazing." There were a ton of heroes walking around.
"Unlike back in Japan, people are allowed to use their Quirks however they wish on this island," Todoroki asked as they took their stuff to the hotel. "The pavilions are filled with attractions and demonstrations."
"Do we have time for any of them?" Eva asked as she looked at the map she was handed. "Oh, there's a villain course!"
"Hello!" a woman greeted walking up to them. "Welcome to I-Island! Is there anything I can help you with?" Todoroki nodded; he did most of the talking while Eva took in the whole island. For an artificial island; it sure did have a good environment.
"Eva," Todoroki said grabbing her hand. "Come on."
"So, what do you think about I-Island so far?" the woman asked as she led them to the hotel.
"It lives past the expectations on the pamphlets," Todoroki answered.
"That's good to hear," the woman smiled as she put her hands together. "How about for you, sweetie?"
"For a scientific place...the air is so clean," Eva complimented.
"We on the island strive to keep the environment clean," the woman answered. "We had a lot of help from the environmental scientists when this place was being built." Soon they were at the hotel.
"Everything alright?" Todoroki asked as he looked at her; she'd been standing at the doorway. "You can come to unpack."
"Never been in a hotel before" Eva began as she walked in taking in the place. "Kind of unsettling."
"I can open a window," Todoroki offered as he went over to the window. "The smell from the sea should make you feel at ease."
"You sure?" Eva asked as the window opened. "You don't mind the window being open?"
"You are my guest," Todoroki answered as he looked back. " Feeling any better?" Eva shoved Todoroki back, shoving her head out the window. "You should unpack at least."
"No, that's alright," Eva denied as she looked back. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, Shoto." Due to Todoroki having passes, they were able to go to the pavilion of the I-Expo and check out all the super-advanced support equipment for Pro Heroes.
"Check this out," Todoroki said as he pulled Eva over to him. "This diving suit can allow the user to drop up to 7,000 meters in the ocean."
"Very useful to people that know how to swim," Eva commented. "And so deep." They check out a couple of more inventions including a sensory one. "Woah, I could hear for miles with this."
"This one is good for traveling through snow," Todoroki commented. "Useful in avalanches."
****
After checking out a couple of things; they stepped back outside.
"Come on!" Eva urged grabbing his hand. "Let's check out the villain course!"
"We are here for a few days," Todoroki reminded her. "We don't need to do everything today."
"We can still knock out a few things before the event tonight," Eva answered as she pulled him toward the designated area. They arrived at the place just as an explosion happened.
"A clearance time of 33 seconds," the girl announced. "He's in 8th place!"
"Kirishima!" Eva lit up as their classmate appeared on the screen.
"Why is he here?" Todoroki asked.
"Katsuki," Eva answered.
"Welcome our next challenger!" the girl announced as they watched another classmate walk into the arena. "The Villain Attack course has been reset. Ready, Go!"
"How did Bakugo get an invitation?" Todoroki asked as they watched Bakugo go through the course.
"Due to getting first place at the Sports Festival," Eva answered.
"DIE!" Katsuki shouted as he blew up the last 'villain.'
"Look at the time!" the girl cheered. "Only 15 seconds!" He landed behind the girl. "First place!" She watched him jump up to a certain part of the stands; there was Izuku, Urakaka, Iida, Yayorozu, Jiro, and another girl. Eva immediately started to make her way over.
"Damni it!" Bakugo growled. "What are you doing here, Deku?"
"Uh, hey there, Kacchan," Izuku greeted as he backed up. "Maybe calm down a litt--"
"Don't you dare tell me what to do!" Katsuki shouted.
Iida got in front of a cowering Izuku. "Bakugo behave yourself!"
"Katsuki!" Eva shouted; he looked over at her. "You did amazing!"
"Of course I did!" Bakugo smiled as he quit being so angry. "Did you do okay with the air travel?" He put a hand on top of her head.
Eva smiled weakly. "Fainted twice."
"So you must be Eva!" a girl chimed. "Deku has spoken all about you!" Eva looked over at the blonde girl. "I'm Melissa Shields." Bakugo started to yell at Izuku and Iida again.
"So, Kirishima," Yaorozyu greeted leaning over the railing. " You two got asked to the I-Expo as well?"
"Nah," Kirishima denied. "Bakugo was invited since he won the UA Sports Festival. I just tagged along with him. You guys gonna do this villain course, or what?"
"Don't even try it," Bakugo warned, mainly Izuku. "There's no way you'll do get a better score than I did."
"Yeah," Izuku agreed. "You're prob'ly right. Yep."
"Huh," Urakaka breathed. "I'm not so sure. Only one way to find out, I guess."
"Yeah, you're probably right," Izuku repeated.
Bakugo got over the railing. "Just hurry and get your pathetic attempt over, you damn nerd!" He walked over. "Then you get outta here!"
"Right!" Izuku squeaked. "I'll do that."
"Good luck, Izuku!" Eva wished as he went down.
"I'm gonna need it," Izuku sighed not daring to look at Bakugo.
"Did you get invited as well, Eva?" Jiro asked.
"Nah," Eva denied as she waved her hand. "I'm just a plus one."
"He's the plus one remember that," Bakugo grunted as they watched Izuku take the field.
"He?" Melissa repeated.
"We've got a new challenger coming in at the last minute!" the announcer said Eva, Bakugo, or Kirishima could say anything. "Will he end up on top or fail in front of the entire Expo?" They watched Izuku start to power up. "The course is set...Ready...Go!" They all watched as Izuku took his turn. "An incredible run! He's in second place at 16 seconds!" Izuku came up.
"You did great!" Eva complimented.
"Wow!" Urakaka breathed.
"That was a good showing, Midoriya," Iida complimented.
"I didn't think I'd be able to get so close to Kacchan's time," Izuku admitted.
"What?!" Katsuki snapped. "No way, I'll go again and blast your score to ash! EVA WHERE IS YOUR PLUS ONE!" Suddenly there was a rumbling.
"Down there," Eva answered as they looked over the edge to see Todoroki using his ice.
"YOUR TODOROKI'S PLUS ONE!" The class said altogether,
"HE'S HER PLUS ONE!" Bakugo corrected angrily.
"This is insane!" The girl squealed. "FOURTEEN SECONDS! This gentleman has jumped to the top of the pack!"
"Another one from UA?" Melissa asked.
"Yep!" Yaoyorozu confirmed.
"Your class is amazing," Melissa complimented. "You're gonna be such great heroes."
"Oh, please, you're too kind," Yaoyorozu blushed with the other girls as Bakugo shot up from behind them.
"OUTTA THE WAY, ICY HOT BASTARD!"
"Bakugo," Todoroki greeted as the classmate landed.
"You can't just appear outta nowhere and show me up!" Bakugo shouted.
"I see the others are here, too," Todoroki said as he looked up in annoyance at the stands.
"Don't ignore me!" Bakugo shouted more. "What are you even doing on the island, anyway?"
"My father was invited, so I'm representing him," Todoroki answered. "I assume Eva told you that."
"You better not have any ulterior motives, Icy Hot!" Bakugo growled as he got closer to Todoroki. "If you put one hand on her wings--"
"Um, the next person is waiting," the girl said in a scared voice.
"SHUT UP!" Bakugo yelled making the girl scream. "I'm doing it again!"
"Katsuki!" Eva exclaimed as she flew down. "You need to be nice to people!"
"Everyone, please stop!" Iida shouted as he ran onto the field. "You're gonna make the world think UA's full of degenerates!" Izuku and Kirishima went to join them. Melissa laughed as Yaoyorozu, Urakaka, and Jiro lowered their heads. Eva got in front of Bakugo to prevent him from blowing up or hitting people. He simply put her over his shoulder; accidentally kicking Izuku in the face in the process. Kirishima jumped on Bakugo's back to hold him back. Eva began to fly up holding on to Kirshima tightly, Bakugo began to kick his legs rapidly.
"Sorry to laugh," Melissa apologized. " I was just thinking it looks like you have a whole lot of fun at your school."
"Well, it's never boring," Yayorozu commented. "I'll say that much at least."
"True," Urakaka and Jiro agreed. As soon as they were able to get Bakugo calmed down; they went their separate ways.
"You sure you don't want to join?" Eva asked; she was going to go hang out with the others.
"I'm sure," Todoroki answered. "I have a few things to take care of." She studied him. "If anything comes up, contact or come find me." He put a hand on her shoulder. "Just don't go looking for trouble."
"Alright," Eva nodded; she went over to the others and Todoroki started down his path.
"So you and Todoroki," Jiro teased as she put a hand over her mouth, her ear jacks waving around.
"Just friends!" Eva assured as she waved her hands. "That's all it is!"
"Bakugo's right," Urakaka said as she wiggled her eyebrows. "Icy Hot may have ulterior motives."
"Leave her alone about it," Yayorozu requested as she put her hands together. Soon they went to the pavilion; Iida and Izuku joined them. Urakaka used her quirk to make Melissa float; Eva flew up dancing around Melissa gently.
*****
Soon the expo preview was closing; they went to check in on Mineta and Kaminari who were working at a restaurant. The two were slumped against the closed sign.
"Hey, Mineta! Kaminari!" Eva greeted; the two looked at the group walking up.
"Yuki!" Mineta and Kaminari greeted.
"How did your shift go?" Izuku asked.
"You should be proud of the work you've done today," Iida praised; he held up two tickets.
"What are those?" Mineta asked.
"Invitations to the big Expo reception later tonight," Yayorozu answered.
"There's a party?" Mineta asked as the two boys trembled.
"These are for us?" Kaminari asked.
"Melissa took pity on you for some reason," Jiro explained.
"She figured you could use a break!" Urakaka exclaimed.
"I had a few extras," Melissa blushed. "Please, I'd love for you to have them."
"Kaminari," Mineta teared up.
"Mineta," Kaminari teared up.
"A beautiful angel has rewarded us for all our hard work!" Kaminari and Mineta cried as they hugged each other.
"I heard that there will be quite a few pro-heroes attending tonight's party as well," Eva informed.
"It's imperative we don't tarnish UA's reputation," Iida advised the group. "We'll change into our formal clothes and go as a group. Everybody meet in lobby seven at the central tower at 6:30 PM sharp. Don't you dare be late."
"I can contact Todoroki," Eva offered. "Katsuki go as well."
"We shall split it up, You contact Todoroki and I will contact Bakugo," Iida smiled at her. "Thank you, you're dismissed." The two took off; Eva flew up high; looking for Todoroki; she went over to the hotel to see the window was closed.
"Strange," Eva commented; she flew down yanking it open; and heard a yelp; she looked to see Todoroki on the ground on a towel and completely bare; she could see everything from her position. Eva immediately turned around sitting on the window sill; blushing. "Sorry."
"You should start getting ready," Todoroki advised. "The event starts at seven."
"Iida wants all of us to meet at lobby seven at the central tower at 6:30 P.m. sharp," Eva answered; she glanced back to see that he now had pants on.
"You did bring formal clothes as requested?" Todoroki asked as he grabbed his shirt.
"Yes," Eva answered as she entered the room; she went over to her suitcase. It took Eva a couple of minutes to clean herself off; she changed into the bathroom. Eva wore a red floral dress made of rose petals. It was a strapless corset for the top half; it was shaped like the top part of Tinkerbell's dress. Larger rose petals were used for the skirt going down to her knees. She was fiddling with her hair, trying to figure out if the front pieces were to go under the headpiece or not.
"Eva," Todoroki said knocking on the door. "Is everything alright?"
"One second," Eva answered; he opened the door. "I said one second."
"Can I?" Todoroki asked as he stepped in; he pulled two sections of her hair; putting it in front of the headpiece. "So your ears show." She looked back at the mirror unsure. "You told Bakugo that I invited you?"
"Of course," Eva answered as they left the bathroom. "I tell him just about everything thing. I hold him very close to my heart."
"He didn't seem too fond of the fact I invited you," Todoroki said as Eva grabbed the tie off his bed.
"Katuski can be overprotective," Eva said as she began to fix Todoroki's tie. "It can come off harsh at times."
"That's an understatement," Todoroki huffed as he looked to the side. "What makes you so fond of him?"
"It was when I got my wings ripped out when we were four," Eva answered as she touched her back. "His face was the last one I saw before I blacked out, and the first one I saw when I woke up in the hospital."
"Were are you friends then as well?" Todoroki asked.
"Before that not really," Eva answered as she flattened the tie. "I was too scared to talk to humans when we moved to that area; but Katsuki always tried to get me to talk, too stubborn to quit." She smiled a little. "To everyone else, Katsuki can be scary...but to me, I don't ever feel like I have to be scared when he's around. " She looked up to see that Todoroki was studying her. "You look nice."
Shoto smiled leaning closer to her. "You look straight out of a fairy tale."
"We should get going before Iida calls us." She held out a hand; he stared at her. "Let's go hand crusher."
"Eva!" Todoroki exclaimed as she grabbed his left hand. "You know it's a curse!"
"Only to you," Eva chimed; she practically dragged him to the Expo. Flew the whole way there not letting go of his hand. Shoto smiled a little when Eva clung to his arm when the elevator started to move. He found it cute how technology seemed to startle her despite living in the human for about 12 years. They got there just as Iida hung up his phone.
"Woah, Yuki!" Kaminari complimented.
"Jackpot!" Mineta cheered as he fist-bumped Kaminari.
"You look good too," Eva complimented. "Same goes for you, Mineta and Iida."
"Midoriya is on his way," Iida said. "What happened to the meet-up time?" He looked over at them. "Quit that! We are supposed to be representing UA!" Eva looked down to see that she was still holding onto Todoroki's hand.
"I bet they were getting hot in the elevator," Mineta teased.
"What does it mean to get hot?" Eva asked.
"You know exactly what it means," Kaminari said as he wiggled his eyebrows. "You two were continuing what you started at the Sports Festival."
"What is he talking about, Iida?" Eva asked as she let go of Todoroki's hand.
"Nothing polite," Iida answered as he pushed up his glasses; they heard a ding.
"Sorry about that, you guys--" Izuku greeted; they looked to see him entering the room. "Uh, where is everybody?"
"They're not here," Iida grumbled with his arms crossed. "Does a proper meeting time mean nothing to you people?"
"Sorry, Iida," Eva apologized as the doors opened, they looked back to see Urakaka in an off-shoulder pink dress.
"Sorry, I'm late," Urakaka apologized. "It took me a while to get ready."
"Best night ever!" Kaminari and Mineta cheered. The doors opened; they looked over to see Yayorozu in a long green dress and Jiro hiding behind her in a pink and purple dress.
"Apologies for the tardiness," Yayorozu apologized. "Jiro's feeling shy."
"Jackpot! Jackpot!" Kaminari and Mineta cheered. "Yes!"
"This is fancier than anything I've ever worn born," Jiro admitted. "It feels like a costume."
"I'm just glad you're not in a t-shirt," Kamanari stated.
"Even the jacket can't ruin it," Mineta commented; Jiro attacked them with her ear jacks.
"Shut up!" Jiro ordered.
"Why would you do that?" Kaminari cried. "It was a compliment."
"No, it wasn't," Jiro denied; looking away.
"You look beautiful, Yaomomo," Eva complimented. "The green really brings out your eyes."
"Oh, stop," Yayorozu blushed as she put a hand over her face. "Where did you even get your dress?"
"It is quite exquisite," Iida noted.
"From my home realm," Eva answered as she spun around. "My aunt made it for me for a fire festival coming up." Todoroki looked over at her.
"Are you honoring Endeavor?" asked Iida in curiosity.
Eva laughed. "No." She shook her head. "It's to celebrate early grain harvest, plants drop their seeds around this time to ensure future crops. It highlights the link between life and death."
"Ah, I see," smiled Iida.
Urakaka walked over to Izuku. "This is my first time in formal wear. I just borrowed something from Yaoyorozu."
"It looks really good!" Izuku complimented. "Like perfect!
Urakaka turned around blushing and gushing. "Oh, Deku, stop--you don't have to flatter me so much!"
"Contain yourself!" Iida shouted with urgency. The door opened; they looked over to see Melissa running in. She had pulled her hair back a bit, and strapless dark blue dress; with a light blue skirt.
"Oh, god, I thought I was gonna miss you guys!" Melissa cheered. "Let's get downstairs to the party!"
"The headliner has arrived!" Mineta cheered.
"Mineta, I can't take this much beauty!" Kaminari cheered. "I think I might actually die!"
"These tickets were a mistake," Jiro groaned.
"Where's Katsuki and Kirishima?" Eva asked. "They both should be here by now."
"No need to panic," Izuku assured her; putting a hand on her shoulder"They are most likely on the elevator up." He looked at her and Todoroki as Iida called their classmates. "You match with his tie."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Eva asked as she tilted her head.
"You should've seen them when they got out of the elevator," Mineta teased.
"Nothing happened!" Eva assured grabbing hold of Izuku. "He is full of lies!"
"Yeah, you are probably right," Izuku agreed with a slight smile.
"Neither are picking up their phones," Iida informed. "Knowing those two, they're jsut blowing off the party." Suddenly, an announcement started to go off.
"This is an announcement from the I-Island security system. We have received a report that an explosive device was discovered somewhere on the I-Expo grounds. I-Island will now begin in high-alert mode. Your safety is our top priority. Residents and tourists should return to their lodgings. Anyone remaining on the street after ten minutes will be in violation of the law." The windows around them started to be closed. "As a precautionary measure, most of the main island buildings will now be sealed off. I repeat; we have received a report..." Everyone tried their phones.
"I'm not getting any signal," Eva said as she looked at her phone. "I can't get through to Katsuki."
"It looks like my service is completely blocked," Todoroki stated as Jiro tapped buttons on the elevators.
"Are you serious?" Mineta sweated.
"The elevator's not working either," Jiro revealed.
"What the heck is going on here?" Mineta panicked.
"It's strange the system would go on high alert," Melissa said. "That's not the protocol whenever explosives are discovered."
"Iida," Izuku breathed. "Let's go to that party."
"For what reason?" Iida asked.
"Because that's the place we can find All Might right now," Izuku answered; the others gasped.
"Wait, All Might's in there?" Urakaka asked.
"Oh, thank goodness, we don't have anything to worry about," Mineta said with relief.
"Melissa," Eva began. "Do you know of any way we can get down there without the elevator?"
"Yeah, sure," Melissa nodded. "We can use the emergency stairs." They looked back. "That can at least get us close."
"We'll follow your lead, then," Izuku confirmed.
*****
They all quickly made their down to the reception hall. Izuku and Jiro stepped out to see what was going on down below. Soon they reconvened on the staircase.
"We received All Might's orders loud and clear," Iida said. "He's our teacher."
"He's tied up and a hostage," Eva pointed out.
"That doesn't matter," Iida argued as he moved his arm. "I suggest we follow his instructions and escape this place."
"But Iida," Eva protested.
"We'll be going against his will," Iida reminded her.
"He's a hostage not dead," Eva argued.
"I'm afraid I have to agree with what Iida is saying," Yayorozu said. "We're still only students. We can't fight these villains if we don't have our hero licenses."
Kaminari gasped. "Why don't we get outta here and tell the heroes outside?"
"It's not going to be very easy to escape," Melissa admitted; they all looked at her. "The security system here is on the same level as that of the Tartarus prison, which is where they keep the most dangerous criminals in the world!"
"Then, all we can do is sit and wait until everything's over, I guess," Kamanari said
"Wrong," Eva said as she made an X with her arms.
"We can't," Iida argued as they two faced each other.
"Are you really okay with that, Kamianri?" Jiro asked as she got up.
"What choice do we have?" Kaminari asked.
"We come up with a plan," Eva answered.
"We will not," Iida denied. "It's against our teacher's wishes."
"Don't you think we should at least try and stop them?" Jiro asked.
"Hey, come on, those villains have even got All Might trapped," Mineta pointed out. "There's no way we can stop them ourselves if the actual pros are stuck."
"Katsuki wouldn't sit around and do nothing," Eva said. "He'd go stop the bad guys."
"That hot head isn't here," Iida reminded her as he got close to her. "And this isn't the time for you to be channeling him."
"We are stuck in a building on a floating man-made island," Eva said. "The more we sit here waiting for help the fewer chances of it showing up."
"We are to wait for the pros!" Iida argued.
"Aren't we trying to be pros ourselves?" Todoroki asked; everyone looked back at him.
"Well, yes, but we're not allowed to work as heroes," Yayorozu reminded him. "You know that."
"If breaking that law to save others makes us villains then so be it," Eva said looking over at her.
"Yuki," Yayorozu sighed.
"Does that mean it's right for us to do nothing at all?" Todoroki asked as he closed his hand.
"Well, it's complicated," Yayorozu answered.
"I'm with Eva," Izuku said. "I wanna help." Everyone looked at him.
"Really, Deku?" Urakaka asked.
"Eva's right," Izuku said. "Kacchan wouldn't sit around and do nothing. I want to save them."
"You wanna go fight those villains?" Mineta asked as he began to sweat more. "Didn't you learn anything from the USJ, Midoriya?! Yuki?!"
"This is totally different," Izuku said. "We don't have to fight them. We just need to think of a way to rescue All Might and everyone else at the party without facing the bad guys."
"That's easy to say, but you know it won't be that simple," Kaminari pointed out.
"I know, but I still wanna try!" Izuku urged. "We can figure out what the best plan of action is and keep these criminals from winning. We can save everyone!" He held a hand out to Eva. "I'm with you every step of the way!"
"Izuku!" Eva lit up as she grabbed his hand.
"Are you two sure?" Urakaka asked.
"I know where the security system is," Melissa revealed. "It's on the top floor of this tower. If these criminals managed to take control of it, then the authentical locks and passwords have probably been disabled. We should be able to restart the system ourselves. We just have to stay off the villains' radar until we can get to the top floor. That's all. If we do that then while island will be safe again."
"Then it's possible," Izuku said.
"Sure, but how do we keep on the low for that long?" Jiro asked.
"The security system hasn't discovered us yet," Melissa answered. "That means the villains probably don't know how it works very well."
"So we avoid fighting anyone and try to get the place back to normal," Todoroki gathered. "It could work."
"Not bad," Kaminari said. "What do ya think?"
"Let's do it!" Jiro nodded as Mineta began to panic more.
"Many of our enemies are likely gathered there on the top floor," Yayorozu gathered.
"If we're fast, we won't have to fight them," Izuku added. "When the security system goes back to normal, All Might and the others will be released. They'll immediately jump into action and stop the villains--I know it!"
"We should still be on our guard in case we do come across villains from here to the top," Eva advised.
"Let's do it, guys!" Urakaka urged.
"Urakaka!" Izuku gasped.
"I don't want to sit around here being helpless," Urakaka explained. "Not if there's something we can actually try. What's important is that we're helping people, even if we're not real heroes."
Izuku got to his feet; facing her. "That's exactly the way I feel about things." Urakaka began to smile. "We'll follow our hearts and save the island!"
"Yeah!" Urakaka cheered.
"Midoriya, Yuki," Todoroki said stepping into the circle. "I'll go with you too."
"I'm in," Jiro said giving a thumbs-up.
"Todoroki!" Izuku smiled.
"Thanks, Kyoka!" Urakaka cheered.
Eva turned to Iida. "Well, class rep?" She fluttered up so they were eye to eye.
He sighed. "The moment I think we've gone too far, it's over. That's something you can agree to. I'll join you as well."
"Yay!" Eva cheered.
"Alright," Yayorozu nodded. "If that's the case, I'll go too."
Kaminari got to his feet. "Obviously I'm in."
"Yayorozu!" Eva cheered.
"Kaminari!" Izuku smiled.
"Have you all lost your minds?!" Mineta cried. "All right, I'll go!"
"Thanks, Mineta!" Izuku cheered.
"The girls'll think we're so cool for this," Kaminari gleamed.
"Be a hero, Mineta!" Urakaka encouraged.
Izuku walked up to their new friend. "Melissa, you can wait down here for us, okay?"
"No," Melissa denied. "I'm going to."
Izuku gasped. "Uh--But, without a Quirk, you'll be in danger."
"I don't suppose any of you know how to change the settings on the island's security system?" Melissa questioned; they glanced at each other. "I'm a student at the Academy. I'll be useful to you."
"Hold on," Izuku began.
"I know I might just get in your way," Melissa admitted. "At least until we get up to the top floor. But I want to help. People are in danger! Please!"
"Okay!" Eva agreed; giving her thumbs up. "Let's do this!"
Izuku smiled back at her. "We'll save everyone."
"Yeah!" Melissa nodded. Izuku went and signaled to All Might.
"Let's go!" Iida declared once they were all together.
"Right!" Everyone agreed.
****
Eva took the lead going up; everyone else followed behind.
"30," Eva counted.
"Wait, Melissa," Izuku said looking back at her. "How high does it go?"
Melissa was panting. "200th floor."
"The what?" Kaminari sweated as they all looked back.
"That's way too many stairs!" Mineta cried.
"It's not that bad," Eva said crossing her arms.
"You've been cheating," Mineta cried looking at her.
"It's still better than running into villains," Yayorozu pointed out.
"My legs are smaller than all of yours!" Mineta cried.
"Oh, Mineta," Eva sighed as she flew down to him. "Just don't throw up." She grabbed him; then flew back up and everyone else followed. The whole way Eva could not help but worry about Katsuki and Kirishima. Eva stopped flying when they rounded the corner; putting Mineta down.
"What is it, Yuki?" Iida asked.
"The routes blocked," Eva answered as the others caught up.
"What should we do?" Todoroki panted. "Breakthrough it?"
"If we did that, I'm sure the security system would alert the villains that someone is in here," Melissa explained.
Mineta walked up to another door. "Then why don't we go through this door instead?"
"Mineta!" Izuku cried as the small boy pulled the handle.
"No, don't!" Melissa cried. It was too late; with a door open they all took off down the hallway.
"Is there another way to go up?" Todoroki asked.
"There should be another emergency staircase down at the other end of the hallway," Melissa explained.
"Eva, go check it out," Izuku requested.
"All right," Eva nodded; she took off down the hall; and stopped short when the barrier closed. "The gates!"
"The ones behind us, too!" Yayorozu exclaimed.
"Todoroki! Iida gasped.
"On it!" He responded. He used his ice to hold the gates open, Iida jumped through with his engines he blasted a door open. Eva immediately picked up a scent and flew into the room.
"Follow Eva!" Iida advised. " Quick, we can cross through here!" It was a botanical room; the air was so much better.
"What is this place?" Izuku asked as he kept an eye on Izuku.
"It's a plant factory," Melissa answered. "They research the effects that Quriks have on fauna here."
"Get back!" Jiro shouted. "Look. The elevator's coming up."
"Don't tell me the villains found us!" Mineta panicked.
"We should hide and let them pass!" Izuku urged.
"No," Eva denied. "Everything is going to be alright." She looked back to see everyone else was hiding. She took off to the other side of the room pulling Katuski and Kirishima into a hug
"Katsuki!" Eva greeted; she pulled away. "Kirishima."
"Yuki," Kirishima greeted. "You are color-coordinating with us!" Eva looked between the two, Kirishima had an all-black with a red tie, and Bakugo had a red shirt; with a vest with flowers on the side.
"Why isn't that icy hot bastard with you?" Bakugo growled. "He's supposed to be keeping a close eye on you."
"He's here with the others," Eva answered; the two began to follow.
"More importantly why is this island on high alert," Kirishima asked.
"Villains have taken over the place," Eva answered. "They have a bunch of heroes captured in the reception hall along with All Might." The two gasped.
"Hey, we see you, stupid kids," Henchman 1 growled.
"What'd you say, ya bastard?" Bakugo demanded.
"What are you three doin' here?" henchman 2 demanded.
"Ha," Bakugo grunted. "That's what I wanna know, too." The two started to walk forward.
"Hey, man, just leave this to me. Okay?" Kirishima requested. "You stay back with, Yuki." He stepped forward. "Um, we kinda of got lost lookin' for this party? Can you maybe point us in the right direction?" The two henchmen looked at each other.
Henchman activated his quirk, enlarging his hand. "Don't lie to me or you'll regret it!" He threw a big airwave.
"Hey, watch out!" Bakugo shouted.
"Kirishima!" Izuku shouted stepping out of the bush; Todoroki's ice blocked the attack.
"This looks like..." Bakugo began.
"Shoto," Eva breathed as they looked over; the ice started to break.
"The four of us can keep them busy down here," Todoroki said as he sent ice toward the others. "Look for a way to get to the top?"
"What're you doing?" Izuku demanded as the ice rose.
"I'm fine. Go!" Todoroki ordered.
"Eva! Todoroki!" Izuku shouted.
"We'll be right behind you after I clean up this mess," Todoroki assured.
"Right!" Yayorozu nodded.
"Wait, you guys are here, too?" Kirishima asked.
"Shoto, you can go on ahead," Eva said.
"What the heck's goin' on, Yuki?"
"It's about the broadcast earlier," Eva answered. "I mentioned it earlier."
"Some villains have taken over the tower," Todoroki added.
"Wait, that's what this is about?" Bakugo demanded. "Is it true what Eva said about All Might and the other heroes?" Todoroki nodded; the two henchmen broke through the ice.
"What's up with this guy's quirk?" Bakugo asked as the four prepared the fight.
"Stay on your guard," Todoroki advised.
"Shut up!" Bakugo grunted. "I know that."
"So you wanna pick a fight?" Henchman 2 asked.
"Don't start what you can't finish," Eva warned.
"Let's see how tough you really are!" Henchman 2 roared as he activated his quirk; transforming into a giant purple monster. Todoroki shot ice; the henchman started to break through; Eva flew by cutting him with her wind quirk. He roared loudly as blood spilled.
"DIE!" Bakugo ordered as he put his hand on the villains' back, letting off an explosion. The man stepped through the smoke aiming a punch.
"Bakugo!" Kirishima shouted; he hardened up taking a few punches.
"Kirishima!" Bakugo shouted when Kirishima got thrown into a wall.
"Dodge!" Todoroki answered; Bakugo jumped up. Eva appeared by henchman 1; kicking him in the back as Todoroki sent ice her way; the villains fought through the ice. Bakugo, Todoroki, and Eva were now surrounded by the villains.
"You kids know how to fight, don't you?" henchman 1 asked.
"Hm. Where'd you come from?" henchman 2 asked.
"Right, like we'd tell a couple 'a weak-ass villains," Bakugo smirked.
"Why would we tell you anything?" Eva asked; the fight continued on. Katsuki was going head-on with the purple guy, and Eva was going head-to-head with another guy.
Eva kept slamming into the guy; kicking him as Todoroki skated around; creating ice walls; throwing ice.
"This guy's not making matter disappear, he's displacing it," Todoroki noted.
"Is that how his quirk works?" Bakugo asked as the other guy got up. "Don't learn, do you?" He shot up. "I can't keep messin' around forever--it's time to put an end to this! Ready, Eva!?"
"Right!" She chimed flying up; she started to spin around letting the wind out; creating a tornado. She turned; aiming the attack down at the henchman, the purple gut got shoved against the ice. Bakugo jumped into the tornado; he started to do the same spins, with his explosions.
"HOWITZER IMPACT!" Bakugo shouted; there was a huge explosion. The man flew up and out of the smoke in his regular form.
"Damn, you!" Henchman 1 growled charging toward Bakugo.
"Katsuki!" Eva exclaimed as the villain slid past him; the sleeve to his shirt ripped off.
"What the hell?" the man demanded looking at his palm.
"That's the sweat from my palms," Bakugo answered. "It works like nitroglycerine." Todoroki gasped; he blasted fire at the man leading to another huge explosion. He landed with a thumb; and bounced up to end up being caught by Todoroki's ice. The others ran over to their friend.
"Kirishima!" Eva exclaimed.
"Are you okay?" Todoroki asked.
"Um. I can't move," Kirishima answered. "Can you get me outta here?"
"Are you that stupid?" Bakugo asked as he closed his eyes. "Just turn your damn quirk off, you idiot."
"Oh, right," Kirshima did as he was told. "Guess I shoulda thought of that."
"I'm just glad to see you're not injured," Todoroki said.
"Yeah," Kirshima nodded. "Same to you guys." Bakugo looked away as Kirshima got to his feet.
"Thank you," Bakugo grunted.
"Woah!" Kirishima gasped. "Where'd that come from? Don't worry about it!"
"I'm not worried!" Bakugo raged as he looked back.
"I was," Eva said as she tilted her head.
"There was no reason for you to be!" Bakugo shouted more.
"Right," Todoroki breathed. "Let's catch up to the others."
"Don't order me around!" Bakugo growled as they took off.
"Todoroki, Yuki, time to give us some details," Kirshima requested. They stopped out an alarm; they looked to see robots heading toward them.
"Looks like they've gotten serious," Todoroki noted.
"They are surrounding us," Kirishima said as he looked back to see more.
"It shouldn't take too long," Eva said as she touched the ground; she activated her quirk; directing it to the edges of her wings got in the start position, and then took off. When she got to the other side she watched the robots slide in half breaking.
"This is going to be a piece of cake," Bakugo smiled as he started to spark up his hand; together the four took out the robots. Soon they went to join the others; they saw some of their classmates being surrounded by the robots.
"You three go ahead," Eva instructed. "Izuku, Urakaka, and Melissa seemed to have gone ahead."
"Don't take too long down here," Bakugo instructed. "I expect to see you up there in three minutes."
"Right," Eva modded; they separated. Eva activated her quirk again; and soared through a bunch of the bots slicing them in half. She flew up to see the others staring up.
"Yuki!" Jiro cheered as smiles appeared on their faces.
"Everyone seems okay," Eva smiled. "No time like the present to go Plus Ultra?"
"Right," Yayorozu smiled; Eva stayed to help take out the rest of the robots before taking off toward the others; she was starting to lose flight. She got to a floor to see Todoroki was using his flames; Izuku and Melissa had blasted their way into the tower.
"Glad to see you joined the fight on time!" Kirishima shouted.
"The others are going to be okay," Eva assured as she flew down to join; soon they heard the fight above rage on.
"This level has been cleared," Bakugo smirked.
"We should go help All Might and Midoriya," Todoroki ordered.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Bakugo ordered; they got up there just as All Might was about to be crushed by metal Todoroki froze the metal; and Eva used her wind to shatter it to pieces. Wolfram looked over at them angrily.
"GO TO HELL!" Bakugo demanded as he blasted Wolfram; he grunted at the pain of reaching his limit." How can you let yourself get beat by such a lame final boss? Hurry and take him down!"
"Thanks for the help, Young Bakugo!" All Might exclaimed as he was starting to push back the metal.
"We'll do what we can," Todoroki said; Eva looked back to see that all their classmates had made it to the top. "We'll help you!"
"Todoroki! Eva!" Izuku smiled as Eva landed next to Todoroki. "Everyone!"
"Iida let's knock those hunks of metal out of the sky," Kirishima declared as they got into fighting positions.
"Yayorozu, take care of things down here," Iida instructed.
"Right!" Yayorozu nodded. Everyone began to fight more; more metal appeared aiming right for All Might. As she fought; Eva felt her flight start to give out; she fell onto someone's back.
"Rest on me till you get your flight is fully back," Bakugo ordered; Eva heard his muscles start to tear. "Don't you dare worry about me!"
"Caroline...Smash!" All Might shouted. "Prepare yourself, villain!" All Might end up getting caught by wires. "Nice trick, but I--" Wolfram put a hand on his throat.
"Prepare myself?" Wolfram asked. "Take your own advice." He smiled. "You've underestimated me." All Might let out an agonizing scream.
"All might!" Izuku shouted; falling to his knees.
"DAMMNIT!" Bakugo shouted; Eva looked over to see that everyone else was reaching their limits too. All Might was getting crushed by blocks of metal.
"All Might no!" the classmate down below cried.
"Farewell, Symbol of Peace!" Wolfram gleamed with delight; Metal struck through the block.
"Uncle Might, no!" Melissa cried out; Izuku shot up as Eva felt her flight come back; everyone gasped as Izuku freed All Might; she closed her eyes focusing on her magic instead of her quirk, she put her hand on Bakugo's arm; he glanced back; he used one hand to turn hers over; the creases of her hand were a teal color.
"That damn brat!" Wolfram growled. Moments later Izuku and All Might shot toward the villain. "You're insignificant pests. And you don't know when to lie down and be crushed."
"You're the one who doesn't know when he's beat!" Bakugo shouted looking back at the fight; he used his hands to continue more blasts as Eva got off of him to rejoin the fight. Using her wind quirk to cut up pieces of metal; being careful to avoid pieces of iron.
"I won't let you stop them!" Todoroki shouted as he used his ice to stop metal.
"It's over!" Wolfram shouted; more pieces of metal shot up burying their classmates; Eva flew down and immediately started to unbury them.
"What's happening?" Urakaka asked as more metal cubes formed. All the classmates watched as All Might and Izuku used the Detroit smash together; there was a giant explosion.
"DEKU!" Urkaka shouted,
"Stop him, All Might!" Kamianri, Jiro, and Yayorozu shouted.
"Go, Midoriya!" Iida, Mineta, and Kirishima shouted.
"Destroy this guy!" Todoroki, Bakugo, and Eva shouted.
"Let's go!" Izuku shouted.
"BEYOND!" All Might finished.
"PLUS ULTRA!" They shot at Wolfram again; there was a huge boom followed by a bigger explosion. Everyone stared in awe; as the floor around them was completely destroyed.
"They stopped him," Iida noted.
"They beat up that villain and saved our lives!" Mineta cheered as smiles returned to people's faces. Todoroki smiled over at Bakugo and Eva; Bakugo looked away scowling making Eva laugh a little.
"You used your magic on me," Bakugo whispered to Eva. "That was a risky thing to do in front of everyone."
"Everyone was too distracted to notice," Eva said. "How is your arm?" Bakugo peaked around his classmates; before giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. At a rumbling sound; Eva looked forward to seeing Izuku and Melissa staring at the rubble above them. "Izuku! Melissa!" The two looked over at them.
"Is everyone okay?" Iida asked.
"We're fine up here!" Izuku assured as they waved back.
"All Might and the professor are okay, too."
"But what about the rest of you guys?" Melissa asked.
"We're good!" Urakaka shouted back.
"Alive, anyway!" Iida shouted.
***
After getting everything cleaned up; everyone was getting ready to head back home, Eva was currently sitting at the water fountain waiting as Todoroki handled check out at the hotel.
"Eva," Izuku greeted walking up.
"How are you feeling?" Eva asked.
"Much better," Izuku answered as he sat next to her. "What are you doing out here all alone?"
"I'm just waiting for Shoto," Eva answered. "I'm not entirely sure how this whole hotel thing works." Izuku gave a small smile. "How's All Might."
"He's recovering," Izuku answered. "He'll be good to go home." She nodded. "Are you going to be okay going back on a plane?"
Eva lowered her head. "I'm not going to like it, but I can't avoid it...I really don't like planes...I feel like I'm trapped in a giant microwave."
"Tell you what," Izuku began. "Why don't you fly back with All Might and me?"
"I appreciate the offer but I decline" Eva denied. "I'm Todoroki's guest; it would be rude for me to abandon him." Izuku looked at her. "He's been very kind this whole trip; even though Katsuki thinks the opposite."
"No one will live up to his standards," Izuku sighed. "I've lost count of the people he demolished in junior high for flirting with you." Eva laughed. "You are definitely a weak spot for Kacchan."
"Yeah, I suppose he can be overprotective at times," Eva nodded.
"That's an understatement," Izuku sighed more making Eva laugh again.
"Eva!" Todoroki shouted; they looked over to see him in the distance waving his hand. "We need to get going."
"See you at home?" Eva asked looking at Izuku.
"Yeah," Izuku nodded; she nodded back before going to join Todoroki.
"Are you going to be fine getting on a plane this time?" Todoroki asked. "Are we going to fight like last time?"
Eva stopped flying; she grabbed onto his arm. "I should be fine for the most part." He looked down at her with a small smile.
