Firefly [BNHA]

3 [All Might]

I ran towards the sludge monster, stumbling a bit when I did so.

I kept my eyes on Kacchan, who was fighting for his life.

'What am I doing!? Why am I running?!' I couldn't help but think. 'Why can't I stop!?'

I ran through the fire, disaster all around me as tears escaped my eyes.

'What do I do? What would a hero do right now!?'

I suddenly remembered my number 13 notebook, recalling the remincents of what was inside.

'Pre-emptive Binding Lacquered Chain Prison: Quickly stretch out arms (vines) to make the opponent flinch back, and then use that opening to restrain them!'

"Take this!" I took off my backpack and threw it at the villain, and I seen one of my items inside hit him in the eye, catching him off guard.

The slime suffocating Kacchan was torn apart as he breathed in oxygen, finally able to breathe.

I didn't stop running towards them until I was finally close enough to try to take the slime off of him, scratching desperately at it in an attempt to help Kacchan.

"Kacchan!"

"What the hell!? Why are you here?!" He yelled at me, but I couldn't care less. It wasn't anything new, after all.

"I'm sorry, my legs just started moving!"

'Why am I sorry? For trying to help him?' The thought briefly crossed my mind, but I didn't bother to continue thinking about it.

The slime villain tightened around him, forcing him to close his eyes in pain. I tried my best to help him, to get him to open his eyes, to keep breathing.

"Kacchan...I couldn't just stand there and watch you die!" 'While everyone else did nothing.'

He opened his eyes back up, but I could tell it was hard for him to do so. I remember the feeling, when the villain had me, and I felt like I was going to die...

It was like I was trapped, like I was forced to take the destiny the universe gave me, to just accept my fate.

I would've been dead if not for All Might.

And even though none of the heroes here are doing anything, just sitting back and letting this monster take my childhood friend's life...

I wouldn't stand for it.

"I'm done playing with you!" The slime monster rose a hand.

I won't let him do this.

"Save the boy, this thing'll kill him!" I heard a hero say. But...

'Even if I'm...quirkless...' Rage bottled up within me as I scratched and clawed at the villain. 'I'm not helpless, and I'm not worthless! I'll help Kacchan, because it's the right thing to do! I'll save him, I'll-'

An explosion went off, and I felt my grip slip, but I held on. I wouldn't let go.

"I really am pathetic..." The air cleared, and I seen him. The number one hero.

"All Might..." I quietly gasped in surprise. 'But...I thought he was already gone...'

"I told you the trace to make a great champion..." He grunted. "But I see now that I wasn't living up to my own ideals!"

I watched him in shock.

"Pros are risking their lives...that's the truth path of a hero!!" He claimed. He reeled his arm back, getting ready to punch the slime villain.
