Sorry this is late, it took forever to write.
Buckle up kids this is a long boy

Kirishima's POV:

Damn it!

Damn it!

Damn it why could I do anything?!

Why wasn't I able to help?!

It's been a whole day and we can't do anything!

"Uhmmm, kirishima?" Midoryia? What's he doing here? "How's it going?" He asks softly

"How do you think I'm doing man? My best friend was just taken, and I did nothing!!!" I shout. I take a breath to calm down "I-I'm sorry for yelling, you don't deserve that." I finish

"No no no, don't worry about it. We're all feeling off. It's not your fault ok. None of it is. Not what happened, not you're outburst, none of it. We don't expect you to be 100% right now." Midoryia comforts, rubbing his hand across my shoulders. "But I did come here for a reason. Me and some others are going around asking everyone if they would be willing to join for a rescue. Once we have an accurate count of people who are willing to help we can ask Aizawa about it. I waited to ask you because I wasn't sure how you'd react, but I knew you would want to be there." I stare. He's planning a rescue? Of course he is, him and Bakugou are close. Wether they admit it or not, it's true. At least he offered it to me.

"Hell yeah I'm coming!"

«*•*•*•*•*»

"Absolutely not."

"What do you mean no? We did the same damn thing when I got captured, what's the difference?" I ask, pissed.

"The situation was different. It was a capturing away from here, they didn't know where we were. There wasn't a risk of them getting the rest of us. They know where we are. The best we can to is avoid provoking them enough so they stay away." Aizawa explains,

"Sir please-" Midoriya starts,

"That's not fair! We can't just leave him like that! How can I call myself his friend if I do nothing?! How can I call myself a good person knowing that I could be letting someone get hurt without doing anything?!" I explode, my hands shake and unshed tears burn in my eyes.

"I understand you're hurting. But we can't risk something like this with lack of information." Aizawa starts, "Let's Wait a bit and gather information first." I turn and walk off, how can he say that when there's a life at stake? How can I sit and do nothing when I know my friend is out there?

Midoriya taps my shoulder, I look down.

"Hey, we'll do something. Even if it means we don't have his support. If there is a rescue mission we need you ok. Ive known kacchan for a long time, I've never seen him open up to someone like the way he does with you. I can't pretend to know what your relationship is like, but I can say that if you're not there, he may let his stubbornness prevent him from getting rescued." He says. "So keep your chin up, we will get kacchan back." His expression isn't one I've seen on him, determined and resolute. I inhale shakily, does he really think I'm the only one he's close enough to that he'd accept my help?

"You really think that?" I ask quietly,

"Yes, I'm positive." He says,

"That's adorable, but I'm here to say you're friend doesn't have much time." A new voice says. My head snaps in her direction,

"You!" Midoriya shouts, "you're with the league!" He confirms

"Yes, I'm here to help. I can take you to where they're holding you're friend." She shares

"Right. And the moment we get there it's an ambush. We aren't stupid." I spit, she's just trying to trick us.

"I'm serious! Look." She holds out her hand, inside is a clip of ash blonde hair, and a couple of scales. His scales. His hair.

"So you've seen him. That doesn't confirm anything." I point out, she sighs

"Do you really think he would let anyone near him if they weren't helping. He could easily use his tail to throw someone away before they could get anything." Damn it her point makes sense.

"Not if he's unconscious." Midoriya refutes,

"For Christ's sake! Shitty hair what do I have to say to make you understand?!" She shouts, exasperated. I freeze. How does she know that name? I look wide eyed at Midoriya.

"He told you that name didn't he?" Midoriya asks softly, she nods

"Yes, and I assume you're Deku?" She asks, Midoriya sighs

"Yep." He confirms, "so you're willing to help us? Why the change of heart? I saw you with the rest of them when you forced your way in here." He points out, she flinches, then sighs.

"The vampire they killed, she used to work for us. She was important to me. They threatened her against me. I didn't have much of a choice. They killed her, I won't let another person get hurt by the league ever again." We stare,

"I-I can't believe they would kill their own members. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm thankful you're helping us. You said you know where they are holding Kacchan?" Midoriya asks

"Yes."

"Let's go tell Aizawa."

«*•*•*•*•*»

"What are you doing with her?"

"T-todoroki?!" Midoriya jumps.

"She has information Todoroki, we're taking her to Aizawa. She's here to help." I explain,

"And you trust her?" He asks

"Yes half'n'half. They trust me." She scoffs, rolling her eyes. He flinches, then shakes his head.

"All right, I concede. Let's go." He says, leading the way to Aizawa's office

"Back already, with-" I cut him off before he can jump to conclusions,

"She has valuable information. I trust her, you might not but at this point it doesn't matter. You can help us with her information or we go without you and do this ourselves." I finish. Allowing my voice to harden, confirming my statement. Aizawa sighs

"Fine, let me see if I can get some help from the other refuges around." He says, stalking out of the room. I turn to the girl

"I realize we never asked for your name." I point out,

"It's Toga." She deadpans,

"If you want, I can take you to where we buried her..." I trail off, she nods mutely, I take her down the halls to a grassy room filled with trees and nature. Toga smiles sadly.

"She would love this, she did love nature." She whispers to herself, then stands "ok, let's go." I lead her back to Aizawa's office, inside there's a few familiar faces, and a couple of new ones. Iida, Todoroki, Momo, and Midoriya stand on one side. Toga and I make our way over there. The new faces are a blonde Centaur, and ravennette dryad, and a lavender haired pixie.

"Ok, These are members of Ground Alpha. Introduce yourselves."

"Hey everyone! My name is Mirio Togata!" The centaur announces. He's strong, and confident.

"Hi! I'm Nejeré Hado!" The pixie says cheerfully. She's way to upbeat to be going on a rescue.

"I'm Tamaki Amajiki." He whispers, so he's shy?

"Everyone head over to the armory, I can't allow you all to fight without some form of defense." Aizawa says, leading us into a room I've never seen.

Weapons hang from every wall, ranging from knives fit for pixies to massive swords for centaurs and humans. I grab two of the pixie sized blades, shifting into a smaller form.

"I didn't know you were a pixie!" Nejeré said, I smile awkwardly

"Ha, yeah. I'm half so I can shift sizes." I explain. She nods, and gets back to work arming herself.

«*•*•*•*•*»

"This it?" I whisper, sitting on Toga's left shoulder, Nejeré on her right.

"Yep." She responds.

"Ok, Kirishima and Nejeré. Could you hide yourselves in Toga's hair? Then she could sneak you in. After you're inside we wait five minutes before Mirio, Iida, and I attack. Once they're distracted, Todoroki, Deku, and Momo slip in and help you three. Our main priority is to rescue Bakugou, however, if you find any other captives try and get them too. We have about an hour until our backup comes in and completely wrecks this place. Does everyone understand what they're supposed to do?" Aizawa asks, we nod. Nejeré and I slip into Toga's hair, as she walks back into the compound without hesitation. Its super stuffy in here, at least I'm small enough to peak through so I can breathe and see.

"You're back finally." a raspy voice mutters. Its the blue haired creep from before

"Yeah. Tomura you won't believe how lucy I am! I got a chance to stalk that pretty saytr. He'd look so much cuter bleeding but I guess I'll have to be patient. Cant seem to eager now~" she sings, her voice taking on a creepy edge. Is she talking about Midoriya? Was that her excuse for leaving?

"Get control of yourself." creepy face Tomura growls before turning away. Toga begins to walk down the long expanses of halls.

"We're here." she whipsers, stopping in front of a steel door.

"Do we stand here waiting or are we going to go?" I ask, slightly irritated

"Shhh, listen." she mutters, I roll my eyes but oblige.

Odd chanting sounds come from the other side of the room. Faint mumbling and voices pass through the steel of the door. Then the chanting crescendos. The faint mumbling gets louder until its screams. Toga acts before I do. She leaps forward and yanks the door open. suffice to say I wasn't ready for the scene in front of me.

A faceless man, standing over a my best friend who's strapped to a table. Red and black smoke flows from the faceless mans fingers to Bakugou, stabbing his body and seemingly siphoning something from him. The faceless man turns to us.

"Welcome friends. Im so glad you could make it to this, I wonder how you're life will change when you watch you're friends magic drained from him. Of course, afterwards he will be prepped for... other experiments. But please, enjoy the show." He says, his cheeks crinkling. If he had a mouth he would probably be grinning.

"You seriously think we're gonna sit back and let you do this?" I shout as Nejeré pulls out a blowgun and fires three darts into his body. He stumbles.

"You should hurry. He wont be out for very long." Nejeré says, freeing herself and flying up so she can keep him knocked out. I nod and grow to help Toga lift Bakugou. Only... he's not the same. His tail is gone, replaced with human legs. He has a pair of black trousers on, ripped at the bottom. He has a large gash across his face, spanning from his left eyebrow across his nose and ending on his right cheek. He has another few slashes across his torso and legs. I hold back my tears, not allowing myself to cry before everyone is safe.

"Lets get him out of here." She says, grabbing his arms and throwing them over her shoulders. I lift his legs and we make our way out.

"Where do you think you're going little ones?" Magic man asks, cruel humor lacing his voice.

"Take him. Half'n'Half, Deku and Ponytail should be here soon. Have them help you." I instruct before turning to our opponent. I shrink down and pull out the blades from my skirt, launching myself through the air at his face. Luckily we have the advantage of size, speed, and sight against him. I go in with repeated slashes and Nejeré follows suit, bombarding him with small nicks and cuts. We almost had the upper hand. Almost. Then he started chanting. Glowing red smoke flowed from his fingertips and wrapped around us, immobilizing us.

"Fortunately for you I have no use for your pathetic amounts of magic. So I suppose I can let you live. Maybe as pets?" he asks, his entire voice dripping with mirth. How can I hear him if he has no mouth?

"No thanks." I turn. Aizawa. He always has a habit of not showing up until the last moment. "Fortunately for you, an old friend is here for a visit." he says, launching his own attack that frees us from his magic smoke stuff. I fly over to Nejeré, checking that her wings are still working. "Turns out All Might is in fact alive. He wants to exchange words." Aizawa announces. All Might is alive? I thought he was a legend! Whoever that guy is is about to get beat. I laugh to myself. Nejeré and I leave, not before noticing an extremely buff centaur in the hallway. He waves, flashing a massive smile before walking past. As we continue to puzzle our way out, a wave of exhaustion hits me. I push through.

We hurry our way out of the compound. I search through the mass of people for an ashy blonde. I find him. Currently being strung across Iida's back as the group collectively leaves. The demolition group is on their way, we can't see them, but we hear a thundering off hooves that only gets louder

"Come here, you look exhausted Kirishima." A familiar voice says, I turn to see Midoryia walking over to me, Todoroki on his heels. I fly over and land on his shoulder. "You should probably rest some. Ill wake you when we get back." Midoryia says, I nod, already feeling my body go slack and my eyelids drift shut.

«*•*•*•*•*»

I wake up to a soft nudge to my feet. I sit up and take in my surroundings. I'm home, in my bed. Midoryia is poking me.

"Hey, sorry I didn't wake you up sooner. Its been about 6 hours since we got back." He explains, I nod.

"Did everything go ok? Did we actually rescue him?" I ask. God please say we did something right. Midoryia smiles,

"We did, Kacchan is safe. He's currently in a medically induced coma recovering. He lost a lot of blood. Also... he might not be the same as before... I saw he had legs, human legs." he continues unintelligibly.

"He had his magic drained. How much, I'm not sure. He may still be able to swim. We just have to see." I sigh, "I hope he's ok." I mutter,

"He'll be fine Kirishima, Kacchan wouldn't let a little change in his form stop him." I laugh, if anything he would see it as a challenge,

"Yeah, you're right."

IM SO SORRY THIS IS SO LATE!!! I really tried to get this out sooner. Ive had a lack of motivation recently but I think its over.

Q: something fun you guys have done during this pandemic?

A: honestly I've just been reading, I'm gonna paint my room to which is exciting!

Cya homies and homos
