I Am Here For You (IzuOcha)

Chapter 41: Fear

Smoke billowed and orange light billowed from the streets of Tokyo. Agencies catching fire, buildings catching some of the flames and starting their own fires. Screams of people running through the streets. Heroes were just now arriving on the scenes, however most of the heroes that were on duty were injured or dead due to the coordinated attack.

"Looks like we got them by surprise... This may help out the Liberation Plan sooner than expected..." The Dabi clone said to himself, holding on to a burned hero by the cuff of his costume, walking out one of the burning agencies.

"This is going a little better than expected..."

"You think so?" A clone of Gas Lighter asked walking next to him. "These people... Idolizing Heroes and quirks... this damned curse... none of this would've happened if they just allowed it to happen..."

"We told you before dumbass. It's not the quirks that are the problem. It's the people who have them. Like me, like, you... Like everyone."

The Gas Lighter clone thought about that again. They told him the same thing before hand. Old habits die hard. The true curse was society. The true curse... was people.

The clone raised both his hands and raised his arms. Gas came flying out of each car to create a massive sphere of gasoline floating in the middle of the road.

"Would you happen to do the honors?" Gas Lighter asked, his eyes full of red anger and dilated as small as humanly possible. Dabi smirks and raised his own purple arm. Blue flames were sent towards the gasoline sphere. The explosion could be seen from the windows of the UA dorms, were Izuku was holding Eri, watched in horror, looking out at the blue mushroom explosion from the city.

"Deku... Are we gonna be okay?" Eri asked as Izuku onlooked the chaos. Izuku looked down at Eri with the best smile he could, trying no to show the distraught in his eyes.

"We'll be just fine Eri... We'll be just fine." He said looking down into her red orbs. Eri's worried expression didn't change though.

"What about Coco..."

Izuku couldn't control the pained expression that hit his face. He couldn't help the one he loved save people. She was out there, alone without him in that chaos...

Izuku raise a hand to the back of Eri's head and pressed her face down into his neck. He couldn't just sit here. He had to figure out what was going on with his quirk. He needed it. The students of Class 1-A, the Pro Heroes... Ochaco... Needed it.

"She'll be just fine. I promise..." Izuku said right as three other gigantic blue gasoline nukes appeared in different parts of the city, the heads of the explosions could be seen from the school windows, the rumblings of the explosions shaking the dorms as Izuku held Eri tighter. He had to do something....

"RYUKYU!" Ochaco screamed as she saw caught sight of the burning agency building. She used her grappling hooks and flew towards the building. Ryukyus office was on the third floor, she usually works until 3 a.m... It's 2:30.. Ochaco had to check.

Ochaco grappled towards the third level of the flaming building and crashed through one of the windows before seeing the destruction. The floors were gone, just walls and the remains of what used to be floors now on the ground level. Ochaco grappled the ground and pulled herself downwards. Two bodys of burned heroes were against the wall.

"Hey! Are you guys okay? Say something!" Ochaco yelled. She checked the bodies. They weren't breathing. Suddenly she heard a cough. Ochaco turned to some debris behind her and saw another body, though only her torso was visible, the rest had been crushed. Ochaco didn't notice it before from how blackened the body had been, probably caused by and explosion.
