The Player

The tears I cried

IZUKU POV

" Here we go"- Nel says as we walk through the metal doors. I was amazed at what I saw, a huge throne covered in thorns, and equally big candles lighting every part of the room, knight statues in front of every pillar in the room.

" Wow" - I say still amazed.

" Where is the boss" - Nel says confused as he looks around. I hear a thump, and I turn to Nel to see him sitting on the floor with bloodshot eyes staring at the ceiling. I get curious and look up. I freeze as I saw Trent's group, that I left a year ago, hanging on the ceiling. There are all skeletons: the only way I recognized them was because of their clothes. There was just silence as me and my senseis stared at the bodys, hanging. Our moment of silence is interrupted by a screeching sound, and it's definitely not a spider, or centipede. My group turn's to look for the source, and sees a huge giant made out of bugs was behind us with tentacle looking things. I can say for sure that all of us were terrified.

" WHAT IS THAT THING?!" - Malia yells

" LOOK OUT"- the old man says. We all dodge the attack, and meanwhile I try to think of a plan to beat this monster. Then it clicks in my head

" HEY NEL, I GOT A PLAN. BUT IT DEPENDS IF ONE OF YOUR ROBOTS HAS A FIRE ATTACK" - I yell to Nel, still trying to dodge the continuous attacks from the monster made of bugs.

" YEAH, I GOT A ROBOT LIKE THAT. WHAT'S YOUR PLAN CLAY?"- Nel shouts back to me while pulling out a robot, and a high tech gun I haven't seen in over the year.

" I THINK IT'S WEAKNESS IS FIRE, SO USE YOUR ROBOT ON IT AND YOUR GUN TOO. OLD MAN, TAKE CARE OF THE BUGS WHO GET AWAY. MALIA, PLEASE COVER ME. I HAVE TO MAKE SOMETHING TO ENSURE OUR WIN."- I yell to the group and they immediately do what I say, no questions asked. I start making a bomb out of parts I found around the cave, and disassembling one of Nel's robots without him knowing.(don't tell him)

5 minutes later of fighting ( a little flashback)

NEL'S POV

Ever since I saw the kid, he always reminded me of my little brother I lost a long time ago. Although he didn't look like him, he sure as hell acted like him. My little brother's name was Georgeie, he had ginger hair like mine, and gray eyes. We didn't have a great childhood ever since he got diagnosed quirkless. We have been beaten, slurred at, gone hungry, and even raped by our parents. He died because he lost too much blood after a beating from my dad. My dad was a player, someone who is supposed to protect us, not harm us. We were supposed to look up to him and be proud he is our father. Instead we were scared and worrying when the next time we were gonna eat. I started to hate players and since I became an info-brooker, I found out that even more people are like my father. 

 When Clay told me he was quirkless, I vowed to myself to protect him. Something I could not keep with my brother. I wanted Clay to look at me like I was his family, someone he can depend on, someone he can trust. I mean despite the high IQ, he is still 7 years old. He is still just a little kid. I already knew that if the time comes too whether me or him dies.......... it will be me the one to go. I'm pushed out of my thoughts by the sound of yelling, it was Clay yelling. I quickly turned around and saw what he was yelling about. Clay had bulging eyes towards something. I turn to look at the source and my face turns into a look of horror.  Clive was impaled by a tentacle and bugs clawed down the tentacle and started to devour him, eating him alive. I screamed, Clay was was yelling at him to "hang on". Before me and Clay could react, Malia run towards Clive and started wiping his body to try to get the bugs off him. The bugs were tiny and fast, too fast. It started climbing up her arm and she quickly passed out. I heard a thud and turn to look at clay. He fell to his knees, and I looked at the monster preparing to do the same attack as it did to Clive, while seeing a metal box looking thing in the air. I ran as fast I could towards Clay, and then the cold took over me.
