Both Izuku and Sukuna stared at the mystery person who simply laughed while snapping their fingers which caused the shackles that were placed around them were shattered.
Sukuna, who took the opportunity to blitz towards the individual who just smiled while sending out a finger to stop the sudden attack that came from Sukuna but the individual just chuckled.
"I'm not here to fight you, Ryomen"
He simply said this with a voice that would calm a raging storm...but Sukuna was more than a storm...he was uncontrollable...and unpredictable...but even he knows when to back down...just this once.
Sukuna simply clicked his tongue as stared at the individual.
Hair that stood up similar to Sukuna's, color as dark as the night sky, eyes that held the color of the sun with his attire being completely different from Ryomen, wearing a pitch black feminine style kimono with a red edge along with a red scarf and black shoes.
This individual had tattoos aswell....but his was different,dawning three pyramid shaped barb on each of his arms, having a line that dawned on both sides of his neck along with two lines underneath his eyes while having marks on his shoulders, chest and on his forehead being something similar to Sukuna.
'...this guy has three pairs of eyes? Who is he?' Sukuna thought while Izuku was seen walking towards them with a serious look on his face.
"If you're not here to fight...then what exactly do you want?"
The individual just smiled as he was seen behind Izuku and Sukuna while wrapping his arms around their shoulders.
"What I want...is to help you as best as I can"
Sukuna went to slice him up but the individual avoided it with a chuckle that escaped from his mouth.
"Considering you both decided to consume the capsule meaning you wanted to find out where exactly the object was...right?"
"Then you know where it is?" Izuku asked with the individual thinking a bit
"...I do...but what will happen if I did tell you what it is?"
"What do you mean?" Sukuna asked with narrowed eyes until he got annoyed when the individual just raised his chin.
"I want to have fun while I help you two...it might be temporary since you only consume one capsule and the object that has your Curse Energy, Sukuna...is something that has been beating for so long"
Their was nothing but silence until Izuku shattered it, "Wait a minute...are you telling me that the cursed object...is Sukuna's heart?"
The individual simply nodded his head while Sukuna clenched his chest with his teeth grinding at each other.
"They dare...take...they dare..."
Sukuna's inate domain rumbled as his anger was rising but that was stopped when Izuku placed his hands on the King of Curses shoulder.
"We'll get back your heart, Ryomen"
Sukuna didn't say much except staring at the individual, "So...are you going to help us or what?"
The individual just laughed, "I thought it would've been hard but it seems you're more reasonable than I thought...ok...this might be temporary but I'll do what I can to ensure everything will be alright...Now..all you gotta do...is say my name"
As the individual spoke, his eyes glowed with both Izuku and Sukuna stared into them and their mouths moved without their consent as something this behind this individual started to rise inside the inate domain...a bright sun.
"Hitachi"
As soon as they said that...the now named Hitachi just smiled kindly.
Meanwhile both Mizuki and Kota eith the help of his cursed spirit parents were dealing with the bloddy cursed Muscular that was having trouble to defend and attack them, no matter how much power he was pushing in, the results was always the same, his muscle fibers gets cut by Mizuki, powerful water pressure hits him hard enough to meet the wall and causing cracks to form.
He knew this shouldn't be happening, he knows that he's gotten powerful thanks to the one who gave him th damn capsules...but it wasn't enough...and he was pissed that one of them stole one of the capsules before he could consume at least both...and the one who did take it...he was seen laying on the ground, shaking in pain.
It made Muscular almost laughed at the feeble position the boy was in but couldn't even enjoy it since he got hit by a slash to his left eye causing him to scream and lash out by sending fiber like strands of muscles that spread out wildly.
This got Mizuki to grab Kota and jumped away to distance themselves from Muscular.
'Damn it!! He's still not going down, Me and Kota are giving it all we got but it doesn't look to be enough' Mizuoi thought while looking over to Kota who was breathing heavily as if he was running a few laps around the forest.
'Whatever he's doing is draining his stamina...and those things that are helping us seems to be fainting out of existence...I guess it can't be helped'
She thought while placing Kota down, "Kota, you need to rest, I'll finish things here"
"What? No! I can still help, I-!!"
He was then stopped by a hand that brushed the top of his head, causing him and Mizuki to look up and see Izuku up and about.
"It's only been a few minutes...and you two have done great, I'm glad"
Izuku said with a tone that held no malice...instead it held a wave of warmth that covered both Kota and Mizuki.
"You both can rest now, I'll take it from here"
As he said that he placed a finger on Mizuki's forehead, causing her to feel numb as she laid on the ground, feeling tired.
Izuku grabbed Ryõba with the katana sensing a different energy from the boy which got the boy to chuckle.
"You've done well too, Ryõba...lend me your strength"
As he said that he looked over to Muscular who started drooling drooling the mouth as he stared at the boy.
"BLOOOD!! SHOW ME YOUR BLOOD!!"
Muscular screamed out as he leaped after Izuku, with the boy simply narrowing his eyes and blitz towards Muscular and sent the villian a kick to the gut.
Muscular coughed up blood as his mind was confused on this hurt so much but he couldn't finish that thought for long since he two of his arms were cut off cleanly by Izuku, who then plunged Ryõba into Muscular's chest which pushed the villian towards the wall, causing him to be stuck their while trying to break free...but it was futile.
Hitachi, looked at the villian with a hint of sadness.
"Someone who simply wants to keep fighting...to hurt innocent people...may your soul be damaged beyond repair"
As he said that...he simply raised both his hands as he chant two simple words that held power.
"Domain Expansion"
A light was seen, as Muscular stared up and felt nothing but warmth...it made him relive his past...the joy, the sadness...and hate...every emotion he was feeling all came down on top of him...until...he felt nothing.
Hitachi simply let out a sigh as he saw the ashes of Muscular simply blowing away into the air.
"It's over...but the battle has just begun"
Hitachi said with a serious look on his face as grabbed Ryõba and place it back into its sheath while walking over to Mizuki and Kota with the boy seeing the whole thing.
'Why…?' Kota thought.
"Kota, about your mommy and daddy, Water Hose… It's true that they ended up leaving you behind. But there were definitely lives saved because of what happened to them."
Mandalay's words echoed in Kota's head, uttering, "Even though you don't know anything…"
"I'm sure someday you'll meet someone, and then you'll understand."
Hikari now stood infront of Kota with a smile on his face.
"Even though you don't know anything, why did you do so much…?" Kota choked, his eyes filled with tears as Mandalay's words continued echoing.
"Someone who'll risk their life to save you… Someone who will be…"
Tears rolled down Kota's cheeks. 'My…'
Hitachi placed his hand on the boys head, "Let's go, Kota" He said while helping up Mizuki who finally woke up...and she stared at her brother with narrowed eyes while punching him for what he did which got Hitachi to laugh.
While Kota watches the scene with a smile on his face, 'That's right these two...are My Heroes'
He finished that thought as sleep took control with Mizuki being quick enough and caught him in time.
"All of that really took a toll on him" She said while Itachi looked over the forest.
"Mizuki...let's go"
Hitachi said with Mizuki nodding her head.
"Will they be all right by themselves?" Kurogiri asked Shigaraki, who was playing with cards.
"Yeah. It's not my turn to be on stage right now. They're enough by themselves. In other words, the game has changed. Up until now, it was a role-playing game where we had all the equipment but challenged the last boss while still at level 1. I should've thought of it as a simulation game." Shigaraki explained.
"Right now, with all the pieces I can break through the higher ranks. In order to do that, I need to first put cracks into the superhuman society. The Vanguard Action Squad of the League of Villains. It doesn't matter if those guys succeed or fail. Just the fact that they are there will scare the heroes." Shigaraki continued.
"Are they just sacrificial pawns?" Kurogiri questioned.
"Don't be ridiculous. Do I look that heartless?" Shigaraki chuckled, adding, "Their strength is real. Even though they're all facing different directions, they're comrades I can count on."
Shigaraki picked up a piece of paper on the counter.
"In a society bound by rules…" Shigaraki whispered, looking at a photo of Bakugo from the sports festival, smirking, "...we're not the only ones being oppressed."
"I'm praying for their success." Shigaraki echoed.
Mizuki was busy securing Kota and making sure he was comfortable meanwhile Hitashi was watching the fire.
"If all the villains from this night attack are this strong, then everyone is in danger."
Mizuki heard this from his mouth which got her worried for her friends, "If that's the case then we gotta let Aizawa Sensei and the Pussycats know about that. If we can save someone by moving, then we have to move, right?" Mizuki explained to Hitachi.
Who simply nodded his head, "But it's too bad Kota is asleep otherwise his quirk would have helped with putting out the flames...but it's better for him to rest"
Hitachi said while placing his hoodie over his head which got Mizuki confused until she realized that he wasn't wearing his disguise.
Hitachi then stopped and quickly went to Mizuki and placed her in a bridal position with Kota on tow.
"It's better we get things done faster with me running" as he said that, he then jumped off the cliffside with Mizuki in thought.
'...where's the kid called Bakugo?'
Mizuki gritted his teeth. 'I have a bad feeling about this…!'
'A Few Minutes Earlier'
Aizawa ran down the hallway, thinking, 'I don't want to think about what could happen…'
When Aizawa made it outside, he stopped, looking at the blue fire and smoke before him.
"This is bad…" Aizawa gritted his teeth.
"Is your worry taking precedence, Eraser?" Dabi appeared next to Aizawa, raising his hand, blue flames appearing.
"Vla-" Aizawa called before the flames bursted out, shooting at Aizawa.
Smoke came from Dabi's hand while the fire cleared away.
"Well, I guess you are a pro, after all." Dabi sighed, looking up to see Aizawa hanging onto the building. He raised his hand up to Aizawa, but no fire came out.
"Nothing's gonna come out." Aizawa told him, capturing Dabi with his scarf. Aizawa pulled up Dabi to him, grabbing his head and banging it on his knee. He twisted Dabi around before planting his face into the ground.
"What's your purpose, number, and positions." Aizawa ordered.
"Why?" Dabi sighed.
"Because otherwise this will happen." Aizawa narrowed his eyes, breaking Dab's arm, adding, "Your right arm's next. Let's do this logically. If we get to your legs, it'll be annoying to transport you."
"Are you in a hurry, Eraser?" Dabi smirked, a small flame from his hair before Aizawa broke his other arm. A loud explosion went off, distracting Aizawa.
"What's that?!" Aizawa asked.
"Aizawa Sensei!" Iida called, Koda, Ojiro and Mineta behind him.
"You guys!" Aizawa turned to them while Dabi took this chance to get free from Aizawa, but was still under his scarf's capture.
'This is about as much damage as I can take, huh?' Dabi gritted his teeth. Facing Aizawa, he said, "As expected of a U.A. teacher. Hey, hero."
Aizawa pulled his scarf as it went right through Dabi, who hummed, "Are your students important?"
Aizawa widened his eyes as Dabi continued turning into sludge.
'That fire earlier wasn't his quirk?!' Aizawa thought.
"I hope you can protect them all till the end. See you later…" Dabi teased before turning completely into sludge.
Aizawa ran into the forest past Iida, Koda, Mineta and Ojiro, telling them to go inside.
"That's no good, Dabi! You were beaten! So weak! You small fry or something?" a masked villain cried, the words, 'Villain- Twice' appearing, stood next to Dabi, who had his hand on a tree, burning it.
"Already? I'm pretty weak." Dabi sighed.
"Huh? That's ridiculous. Don't be hasty. You're strong. You should think of this as the pro hero being very strong." Twice encouraged Dabi.
"Make another one of me, Twice." Dabi ordered.
"We gotta stop those pros from leaving." Dabi explained.
"It doesn't matter how many times a small fry goes in!" Twice argued before saying, "Leave it to me!"
Hitachi was seen running through the forest with Mizuki in his arms with Kota in hers while the girl was thinking,'We're almost there!'
Hitachi then looked over and saw someone, "We got a visual on your Teacher"
He said which got Mizuki to see tjay he was right as Aizawa was heading straight for them.
"Aizawa Sensei!" Mizuki called.
Aizawa stopped running, looking over to see Mizuki, Kota and Hitachi.
"Yag-" Aizawa stopped when he saw the boy before him but he couldn't finishes his thought since Mizuki was talking to him.
"I have something I need to tell Mandalay…" Mizuki explained to Aizawa.
"I said, 'Hey'!" Aizawa said louder.
"Please take care of Kota! You have to protect him!" Mizuki instructed, ignoring him.
'She doesn't look injured...and yet she's on a high…' Aizawa frowned.
"Please!" Mkzuki finished before starting to run off but she was stopped by Hitachi.
"Yuji!! We have to go!" She said making sure to use Izuku's alias name.
"You need to listen to your teacher" he said Seriously.
"You don't look to be injured which is good...but don't forget even if you got injured...don't forget about what happened in Hosu"
'For uncertified individuals to cause injury with their quirks without specific instruction from their guardians or supervisors is a clear violation of the rules.'
"No, but…" Mizuki uttered.
"So tell Mandalay this…" Aizawa instructed.
In the clearing, Pixie-Bob still laid unconscious with Tiger and Mandalay fighting Mange and Spinner.
"Oh dear, you're so close! Let me pick up my item!" Magne teased as Tiger swatted and tried kicking Magne over the head, but she dodged, and continued jumping back as Tiger continued swatting.
'Damn it, predicting my Cat Combat moves, huh?' Tiger thought as he continued fighting.
Mandalay jumped back as Spinner swung his sword at her, yelling, "You're not…"
He swung his sword at Mandalay again, jumping back.
"...a real…"
Spinner swung his sword again, almost grazing Mandalay.
"...hero at all!"
Spinner brought his sword down, hitting the ground as Mandalay jumped out of the way.
"Jeez, you're too persistent!" Mandalay gritted her teeth.
"So are you!" Spinner fired back, jumped at Mandalay again, yelling, "Hurry up and be purged already!"
But before Spinner can strike Mandalay, he was stopped by a katana.
"Now Now, you shouldn't be using a weapon on a Lady" Hitachi said with a smirk on his face with Spinner widening his eyes as he was pushed back by a powerful kick courtesy of Mizuki which resulted on Spinners sword being broken.
"Good job, Mizuki"
"Same to you, Yuji! Mandalay here's a message from Aizawa Sensei! Tell everyone with Telepath!" Mizuki shouted while she slid on the ground.
Aizawa ran through the forest with Kota in his arms.
'Hey, hero! Are your students important? I hope you can protect them all till the end.'
'The way he said that makes it clear that the students are the targets. In that case, it's unavoidable. It's about raising the survival rate! Use your self-defense skills! I'll take responsibility for this, along with whatever punishment is coming later.' Aizawa thought to himself as he ran.
"Everyone in Class A and Class B! In the name of the pro hero, Eraser Head, you are granted permission to engage in combat!" Mizuki instructed Mandalay.
Mandalay gaped before nodding, sending her Telepath out, echoing Mizuki's message while montages of the students running or facing the villains.
When she was done, Mandalay thought to herself, 'This is what you want, right, Eraser?'
Aizawa continued running with Kota as he narrowed his eyes. 'Don't be defeated while we still don't know what's going on, future heroes!'
'Yagi...even if I tell her to come back, she'll find an excuse to help her fellow classmates...This is bad. This is worse than bad. The only reason she's able to move right now is because of all the endorphins pumping through her...and then theirs Itadori...he's just a mystery...and at the same time...I can't help bit be glad he's there for Yagi' Aizawa finished his thought.
"Mister… Will they be okay?" Kota asked finally waking up.
"Hm?" Aizawa glanced at Kota.
"I… I almost punched her and he stopped me from doing that… But even so, they both got all beat up to rescue me…!" Kota held back tears, squeezing Aizawa's scarf as he buried his face in it, adding, "I haven't even told them 'Sorry'... or 'Thank you' yet… Will they… be okay…?"
"Don't worry. Even though they got beaten up...that doesn't mean they have any intention of dying, But as a teacher, I have to scold Yagi and Itadori for acting without permission…" Aizawa explained to Kota, making him raise his head.
"So once all this is over, please tell them how you feel. If possible, put more effort in the 'Thank you' part." Aizawa instructed.
"You two , get back to camp immediately!" Mandalay ordered Mizuki as she was about be hit by Spinner, but Hitachi kicked the villian and hard him back, "You both have gone through a lot, you need to head back now!" Mandalay continued.
But Mizuki refused, "No… I'm sorry!" powering One for All. As she ran, Mizuki added, "Please tell everyone one more thing! The villains… At least one of their targets is… They're after Kacchan! Please tell everyone with Telepath!"
"Who's 'Kacchan'?" Mandalay questioned, shouting, "Wait a minute!"
Magne stared at Mizuki and then at Hitachi, thinking, 'That rumble in the ground earlier… There are two in our number who can fight in a flashy power battle… If one let something slip… Then that bloodthirsty Muscular was defeated…? Does that mean he lost in power to those little kids?'
Tiger stared in horror as Magne slipped away from him, towards Mizuki.
'If that's the case then they need to be killed starting with the girl!'
Magne thought as she got closer to Mizuki.
"Don't Big Sis Mag!" Spinner yelled out but it was too late as Magne got kicked in the face by Hitachi who glared at the villian.
Magne felt how powerful the kick was...and Magne couldn't help but feel that Hitachi held back but Mange almost felt her jaw was about to be dislocated but this resulted in Mizuki leaving.
Magne was glaring at Hitachi and was about to dash towards the boy but Spinner threw a knife at her, letting Hitachi go.
"What do you think you're doing?! She was on the priority kill list!" Magne exclaimed, watching Hitachi go after Mizuki.
"That's just Shigaraki's personal desire!" Spinner explained.
"Spinner! What did you come here to do?!" Magne questioned.
"That child...the one who traded blows with me with our swords is someone that holds the ideology of Stain himself In other words, a person worthy of being called a hero! I will follow his wil-" Spinner explained until Mandalay kicked him in the head, Tiger doing the same to Magne, knocking them out.
"I finally got a good hit in!" Mandalay breathed, Spinner and Magne laying on the ground. Mandalay gasped for air, thinking, 'It can't be helped… First, I have to tell everyone.'
"We have discovered one of the villains' targets. It is one of the students, 'Kacchan'!" Mandalay's Telepath echoed.
"Bakugo?!" Kirishima exclaimed.
"It's Bakugo?!" Iida repeated.
"'Kacchan' should try to avoid combat and acting independently." Mandalay's Telepath added.
"Bakugo…" Kirishima gritted his teeth.
"Understand, 'Kacchan'?!"
"Stop making so much noise in my head!" Bakugo shouted as he ran toward a villain. Blades shot out toward Bakugo until ice went in between Bakugo and the blades.
"Don't go rushing carelessly into anything." Todoroki shouted at Bakugo.
The blades stopped coming, making the villain rise up as they stuck into the ground.
"I have to follow… I have to do my job…" the villain hummed before screaming out.
"Did you hear that earlier? She said you're being targeted!" Todoroki reminded Bakugo.
"That damn Girl did something, I just know it. Saying 'Fight' then 'Don't fight'!" Bakugo uttered angrily, before exclaiming, "Huh?! I don't give a damn what anyone says!"
The villain disappeared into the forest, Todoroki gritting his teeth.
"He's good at using the terrain with his quirk." Todoroki observed.
"Even though he just looks like some scrawny small fry! You bastard!" Bakugo added.
The villain rose out of the trees with his blades, Todoroki saying, "Looks like he's got a lot of experience."
"Show me… your flesh…" the villain hummed, the words, 'Death Row Convict (Escaped)- Moonfish' appearing.
"If you use any large flames around here and the fire spreads, we'll be surrounded by flames, and everyone will die. Do you get it?" Todoroki warned Bakugo, who had sparks popping from his palm.
"Shut up! I know!" Bakugo yelled while Todoroki glanced behind them.
'Even if we try to retreat, there's gas… They're obviously trying to drive us into a corner…' Todoroki observed before glancing back at Moonfish.
In a different part of the forest, Tetsutetsu ran, exclaiming, "Did you hear that, Kendo?! We've got permission to throw some punches!"
"Wait, Tetsutetsu! Do you understand this gas?" Kendo shouted, running after him.
"There's nothing about the gas in Mandalay's Telepath. That means the gas hasn't spread so far that it can't be seen from the clearing where Mandalay is. It's weird. This gas is flowing slowly in one direction. Normally, it would spread more, right? This is staying in one place. And look. The gas is a little denser here than it was where we were before." Kendo explained to Tetsutetsu, pointing at the gas.
"Which means… what?" Tetsutetsu asked.
"I think it's swirling around its source. Like a typhoon." Kendo answered.
A bright red light glowed in the middle, inside the purple gas.
"In other words, there should be someone who is producing the gas at the center- someone who can also control it." Kendo continued.
"I see! Man, Kendo, you're amazing!" Tetsutetsu beamed.
"I knew it. That's why I came with you." Kendo sighed.
"The denser the gas, so it's just a matter of time. There's a limit to the gas masks' filters, and the denser the gas, the shorter the functioning time. In other words…" Kendo warned Tetsutetsu before they started running through the gas again.
"...run all out toward the denser gas and punch all out! Right?" Tetsutetsu finished.
"Well, yeah, but…" Kendo uttered, thinking, 'He's got such a one-track mind…'
"Our classmates suffered because of this gas. I hate this! Stuff like this pisses me off!" Tetsutetsu shouted, glancing back at Kendo, he added, "Let's do our best, Kendo!"
"Yeah!" Kendo nodded, thinking, 'I don't dislike that part of you!'
A villain stood in the center of the gas, muttering, "Heading straight toward me are three… two people? I guess there are those who notice and can make it through, huh? As expected of a prestigious school."
The words, 'Villain- Mustard' appeared next to the villain as Mustard reached into his pocket, sighing, "But it's sad… No matter how wonderful the quirk…"
"Found you…!" Tetsutetsu announced, his body in steel as he aimed for Mustard.
"...they're still human, huh?" Mustard finished, pulling a gun off, a gunshot echoing.
'What was that sound just now, a gunshot? Don't tell me it's Katsuki…' Mizuki thought as she ran through the forest.
"You're really hard to keep up, lil Sis!"
Mizuki heard which gor her to see that Izuku was beside her which got her to smile.
"Then you better keep up!"
"With pleasure"
The two siblings then speed off towards the forest.
"Oh yeah, I saw you during the live broadcast of the sports festival. There were guys who could turn hard. A gun won't work, huh?" Mustard hummed. The gas mask broke, falling off of Tetsutetsu's face. He put a hand over his mouth as Mustard continued, "But well, it doesn't matter. Because it's just a matter of how long you can hold your breath in this gas."
'Seriously, a gun? And aiming for my mask, too! What's with this shorty, anyway? A school uniform? So he's about the same age as me, or maybe even younger?' Tetsutetsu thought as he held his breath.
"Even if you can harden yourself, you're charging right in? Give me a break. You go to a prestigious school, right? You're smart, aren't you? Will you use your head a little? If you don't, you're not worth my time." Mustard sighed, shooting off another shot.
Tetsutetsu jumped to take the shot, the gun pointed at Kendo.
"Tetsutetsu!" Kendo exclaimed as she saw blood.
"It's no good! Retreat!" Tetsutetsu told Kendo while covering his mouth.
Mustard started laughing maliciously, teasing, "Two against one, with one of you hiding for a surprise attack, right? That's weak! Such a weak plan! This gas is produced by me and controlled by me."
"Tetsutetsu, you're bleeding!" Kendo bent down to him.
"It's fine, just retreat!" Tetsutetsu blocked her from Mustard.
"It's telling me your movements directly with its fluctuations. In other words, you can't hide from me!" Mustard continued.
"You go to U.A., right? Don't ruin my image of it. That's why you're being attacked like this now." Mustard teased.
Tetsutetsu started running toward Mustard again, Kendo shouting, "Wait a-"
Mustard hit Tetsutetsu with his gun as he got close, laughing, "Stupid."
Tetsutetsu fell to the ground, placing his hand back over his mouth.
"Huh? Aren't you softer than you were before?" Mustard questioned.
"Looks like you can't breathe anymore either. You can't really brace yourself anymore, huh? Does your hardness depend on your stance?" Mustard asked, pointing his gun at Tetsutetsu before shooting him in the head while he continued, "For simple guys like the ones that just harden themselves, they usually end up in tests of endurance, huh? You just rush in without thinking about stuff like that."
Mustard shot at Tetsutetsu again, but he didn't budge this time.
"Hey, you guys are gonna be heroes when you grow up, right? I think it's strange." Mustard sighed, reloading his gun before shooting again at Tetsutetsu.
"A world where someone with a one-track mind like you…"
A bullet to Tetsutetsu's arm.
"..is fawned over just because…"
Another shot.
"...of where you went to school…"
Another shot before Mustard kicked Tetsutetsu in the gut, finishing, "It's not right, is it?"
Tetsutetsu covered his mouth and nose again, thinking, 'Crap… I can't breathe… I can't…'
Another bullet went to his head.
'My strength is… My vision's getting blurry… and distorted… Crap… everything's turning black and white…' Tetsutetsu squinted at Mustard as his vision went from blurry to not seeing color.
Kendo ran through the gas, shouting, "Tetsutetsu!"
Mustard turned to face her, sighing, "I told you, I can tell how you're moving from the flow of the gas-"
Before Mustard finished, Kendo made her hand bigger, hitting Mustard as she told him, "It doesn't matter if you can tell how I'm moving!"
Mustard hid himself in the gas, yelling, "I can't believe you can look so triumphant with a pitiful quirk like that!"
"Whether it's pitiful or not depends on how it's used! Take this…!" Kendo yelled back, waving her hands around the gas.
"The gas is being blown away!" Mustard exclaimed.
"You're the stupid one, uniform boy. Carrying a gun like that is like saying you're not confident in a fight!" Kendo exclaimed.
"You little…" Mustard gritted his teeth, pointing his gun at Kendo.
"Above all, for those at U.A. with a one-track mind…" Kendo said as a shadow started moving through the gas, making Mustard gasp.
'The gas got thinner, so I didn't realize…" Mustard glanced behind him, pointing the gun as it showed Tetsutetsu running at him.
"...when everyone else would think 'I can't take it anymore'..." Kendo continued as Tetsutetsu punched Mustard in the mask, breaking it before slamming him to the ground, stating, "...they'll take another step and go beyond that."
The gas started dispersing around them, Kendo sighing, "The gas… is dispersing…"
Tetsutetsu gasped for air, saying through breaths, "If a gas user is wearing a mask, then you have to break it, right? Stupid!"
Tetsutetsu flopped down next to Mustard, who laid knocked out.
"I'll have you make up for ruining our training camp, kid." Tetsutetsu vowed.
'Katsuki and Todoroki started second in the test of courage. If they haven't moved from there, then they shouldn't be far.' Mizuki thought as she and Izuku ran before she gasped a bit as Izuku hoisted her up and junoed out of way as a dark hand was about to slam where she was if it wasn't for brother as the hand slammed down, making a cloud of dust appear.
"Yagi!"
Mizuki and Izuku heard which got the girl to turn her head saw one of her classmates, "Sh-Shoji?!"
Mezo Shoji was seen landing next to the siblings with one his arms bled from one of his hands missing.
"You're always only thinking about saving your friend… What are we going to do with you?" Shoji said as he gasped for air.
"That just now…" Mizuki questioned.
"Yeah. We were ambushed by villains, and I covered us. But that triggered the quirk that he'd been desperately trying to hold back…" Shoji explained.
'My quirk's offensive ability increases the darker it is, but it becomes fierce and difficult to control.'
Mizuki widened his eyes. "D-Don't tell me…"
"Yeah." Shoji nodded, knowing Mizuki's question, adding, "If we want to get through here, we'll have to do something about this first…"
Dark Shadow surrounded Tokoyami, who had no control over it as Dark Shadow became huge.
"Get away… from me…! You'll die!" Tokoyami warned.
"T-Tokoyami!" Mizuki shouted, followed by Dark Shadow's screech.
Hitachi observed the Sentient quirk, 'This is interesting'
'What makes this interesting?' Sukuna questioned.
'It's the fact that I can sense a bit of cursed energy on that boy...hey Izuku...what if we ask him to join'
[I would say hell no...I don't want anyone else to have an obligation to join the school...I don't want anyone to die...]
'...ok...I understand...but I'll do what I can to quench the boys Sentient quirks anger'
Hitachi thought while his eyes glowed.
