We seem to have been found somehow... Iida thought to himself, But that's not what we should be worrying about right now. We should worry about the enemies before us!

Iida, Tamaki, and Kirishima encountered three of Overhaul's goons. One was tall and skinny with golden hair that was chin length. He wore a black plague's mask that tilted at an angle farther down.

Next, there was a tall muscular bald man with shadowed eyes, and a white mask unlike the rest of Overhaul's gang.

Finally, there was a slim man like the first, except he had wide eyes and a burlap sack over his head tied with a rope. He gave off the insanity vibe and looked like a scarecrow.

"Where do you think you're going?" The golden-haired man said mockingly, "Don't cha know it's bedtime?"

The scarecrow man crackled quietly, giving off a disturbing feeling of insanity. The three goons stood in a battle stance, ready to take on the questers. Tamaki held his hands out as aura loomed over them, and Kirishima drew his daggers.

But Iida didn't go into any battle formation- he was just confused with the blonde man's comment, "Actually," he said, adjusting his glasses, "Tamaki here is 18 years old! Therefore we are qualified to be here with his supervision. And another thing- my time of rest is 9:45!"

Tamaki turned his head to Iida, "I-i'm pretty sure that was a rhetorical question, Iida..."

"Rhetorical? "Iida asked, dumbfounded.

The blonde man's eyes narrowed, and he turned his head towards the tall muscular man, "These guys are no fun. Can we just- I don't know, kill them?"

"Sure thing," the muscular one said.

He pointed his fists at the questers, and the moment he did, giant crystals appeared all over them. The crystals were white with colorful highlights. They also looked very sharp- and dangerous.

"No matter!" Iida said, drawing his sword, "A mere threat shant stand in the way of our victory-"

The hand holding Iida's sword was empty.

"This's a nice sword ya know," The blonde man said, tracing his hand over Iida's sword, "But I'm taking it for now,"

The blonde man had Iida's sword. Iida's stern expression turned to a shocked one. He had his sword, but when did he have the time to take it?

"Hey give back Iida's sword!" Kirishima yelled, "He's only trying to help us win!"

"Well we're tryna win too you know," the blonde-haired man said, shrugging his shoulders, "every man for himself y'know?"

He looked down and noticed a bug crawl at his feet. It had a glowing purple dot.

*SQUISH*

The man scrapped his foot against the hard floor in an effort to get off the bug remains. Kirishima was horrified, that bug was a human!

The man chuckled to himself. Kirishima didn't know whether he knew or not, but that didn't stop the anger boiling within him. He started to let out a deep growl.

"K-Kirishima don't worry...!" Tamaki said frantically, trying to calm him down," We can't rush into a fight like this- we don't know what to expect-"

"TAMAKI!" Iida cried shoving Tamaki and himself out of the way. The blonde-haired man had swung at Tamaki with Iida's sword.

"Dammit...I missed!" he said staggering, "Sorry for the scare, I just got tired of your yapping,"

That was close! Iida thought to himself, he turned to Tamaki, "Tamaki are you alright?"
