Unafmilair (MHA x HxH)

Chapter 21

Gon also took out his fishing rod, holding it at the ready. "I smell something odd" Midoria also copied them, when the lights went back on they got weird looks but he knew something would happen. "what are you three doing?" the teacher snapped. "getting ready for an attack that I know is coming" he slipped his other hand into his other pocket and the teacher's eyes narrowed slightly. "what do you mea-" suddenly a purple portal appeared in the fountain. Eraserhead's eyes locked with his and he nodded. This is real. This isn't part of the training. He took a few steps forward, then turned back. "stay together and don't move. 13, protect the students" he said. Killua, Gon, and Midoria were the only three who seemed to realize that this wasn't part of the training exercise. As someone tried to take a step forward he took twice as many. "stay back" he snapped, causing everyone to pause and look at him. Killua's eyes swiftly counted the villains as they came in. "this is real"

The students started to panic but he slid his yoyos out and held them at the ready, slipping them onto each arm. Gon came up beside him, fishing rod ready. "what's the plan" he put on his monotone expression. "you protect the other students. I'm assisting on the front lines" Midoria grabbed his shoulder. "wait-" Killua took a step forward and tossed his skateboard behind him, it wouldn't help in this situation. He moved to stand behind Eraserhead and he glanced over at him. "go back and stay with the others" he shook his head. "No. I refuse" he quickly activated En to count them all in a flash. "128 villains, the blue haired guy and the purple mist one are the top dogs" he pointed to them. All his strategic training was kicking in as he observed. "the monster is the biggest threat though, it's obviously being controlled. Look at the way it moves"

He knew what brainwashing looked like, he had seen it a thousand times. Eraserhead didn't look like he exactly trusted him. "I know you don't trust me, but you can trust one thing" he locked eyes with Eraserhead for a second. "I'd put my life on the line to keep him safe" he didn't need to specify who 'him' was. There was only one person in his class that he cared about more than the others. He nodded, and put his goggles on. "13, get them out of here and alert the main campus" he said firmly. "we're going in" the other students didn't know how to feel about this apparent favoritism, but Gon quickly herded them away. "I don't know your fighting style, but I might accidently erase your quirk" he grinned. "don't need it right now" he went in first, leaping in the middle of the chaos. He swung his yoyo's around at great speeds, shearing off body parts and deflecting or shredding physical attacks. He saw Eraserhead wrecking house almost as much as he was. They started in opposite sides of the area, he kept a cool head and defeated the ones on his side. All I can do it hope Gon is safe.

Gon helped push the others towards the door, "Everybody move!" he shouted as people started to struggle. "what about Luka!" Denki said worriedly. He gave him a reassuring smile. "she's fine. If anyone can save us, it would be her" just as they were about to get to the door, a huge purple guy made of mist appeared. "Kids! Stay back!" he clenched his fists, I have to do something! I have to protect them! He activated Zetsu and pretended to hide behind sato, he was the biggest. He glanced back at him as he retreated behind a convenient tree. Gon ran as fast as he could while being hidden and circled around behind him. Here goes nothing. He yelled, taking a whack at him with his reinforced fishing rod, which he infused with some Nen as to not break it. His rod didn't connect on anything solid, except the tip for a second but then the mist moved and he was dropped by a portal in the middle of the students again. "Damn it!" while he was trying to think up a plan, suddenly the mist surrounded them. He instantly reacted due to his innate sense of danger and managed to somehow escape with one person.

Iida turned and gasped at the shadowy dome. "we have to-" Gon yanked and pushed him in the direction of the door. "Go get help!" he shouted. Iida paused and glanced back at him for a moment. "but I-" Gon clenched his teeth and shoved him again. "you're the only one who can make it there and back in time!" please, we need backup. I can't protect them all at once. Honestly, he was pretty sure that him and Killua could rival the strength of a pro hero, but they couldn't do it with just the two of them without casualties. Iida hesitated for a second before nodding and running towards the door. 13 activated her black hole and tried to suck in the mist villain. Gon was about to be relieved when the mist villain started talking about battle awareness. No. NO! he ran forward as the portal appeared behind 13, they yelled in pain and he shoved them out of the way to avoid a fatal injury. He bit back the pain as it sucked up some of his back, his jacket was ruined and it fell off. His tank top that was underneath was barely on and probably stained with blood.

He grabbed his rod and stood his ground, huffing. "you've got some fighting spirit child" the mist villain said, in a tone that almost sounded like approval? "I won't let you!" he yelled, fighting to keep his arms and head steady. Gon was scared, not only was a pro hero taken down in a matter of seconds but this guy could teleport any one of them any time he wanted to. None of the other students could beat them yet, they weren't strong enough. But can I do it on my own? "I commend your resolve, but I'm afraid I can't let you guys call for help" he glanced back to see that Iida hadn't actually made it all the way out of the door. He found himself out of options here. If I draw enough attention to myself... he dropped his fishing rod with a clatter, bringing his fists behind him. "Jan" he said, and the mist guy paused as a small light appeared in his hands. "Ken" the ball grew larger and the wind started to whip slightly around it. He heard the other students take a few steps back. Gon clenched his teeth, gathering a great amount of power. "GUU!" he slammed his fist into the ground before him, creating a huge pile of rubble and dust. "EVERYBODY RUN!"

Gon managed to hold him off by distractions and his unknown power, not to mention some teamwork from his classmates. Iida eventually got to the exit and the mist villain roared and vanished. That was when he heard a scream. "GAHHH!" he froze, looking over in the direction where it came from. "Freeces! Come on!" his heart started to beat faster when he smelled something that terrified him. The smell of blood. "No" he said, grabbing his rod. "I'm going back in. you stay here" he bolted in the direction of the noise, only to freeze again as he saw it. The Nomu, standing over Eraserhead, blood everywhere. His arms aren't bending the right way, there's so much blood... Images of Kite and the ants flashed through his head and he ran forward, slamming into its side with his full strength and knocking it back a few meters. "I WON'T LOSE ANOTHER ONE!!" he yelled, standing over his badly injured teacher. "I won't let another one of my teachers die in front of me" he said, this time quieter. Gon felt tears form at the corners of his eyes and felt a strong mix of emotions that he hadn't felt in a while. It was hate, rage, and pain.

The Nomu came at him again and he blocked, Gon almost didn't use enough Ko and was knocked back a few inches. He gritted his teeth and slammed his fist into its chest as hard as he could. It got pushed back a few meters but didn't fall, although it would soon due to the hole in its- he gasped as the wound smoothed itself over in a matter of seconds. "how do you like my Nomu? It has multiple quirks" Gon was terrified, but he couldn't run. I can't. I can't lose another teacher to a monster. He felt his arms start to tremble but he stood his ground, glaring at the Nomu. It stared at him with a blank expression, then roared and took another swing. He had no choice but to take the hit, if he didn't it would have hit his teacher. He staggered a little, but he got back up.

"you have to run" Eraserhead in a raspy voice. "No! I won't run again!" the tears started to come faster. "I refuse to let another one of my teachers die because I was a coward" he blocked another hit and it jarred his entire body. It's too damn strong, and it has no weaknesses! It kept pounding down on him, again and again, but he wouldn't run, not again. "why won't you just give up brat! You can barely stand!" he spat out some blood and stood his ground again. "I WILL NOT!" he yelled. "no matter how many times you hit me, I will not back down!" but his movements were slowing, his wounds were bad and would make him pass out before the severity of the pain, or the Nomu itself would. There was one thing he could do in this moment, it was a terrible plan and it might get them in huge trouble. But I can't think of anything else, and I can't keep this up much longer.

Killua had finished his side of the place and was working his way through the different zones when he heard Illumi's voice again. Kill them. Killua gritted his teeth and glanced around for a second. Nobody's looking right now. He dragged one of the villains behind a random building and slit his neck. He then broke the street lamp and dropped it on his neck, to make it look like an accident. But, he still heard the voice. Kill them. He kept swinging his yoyos around, shearing off limbs and aiming for vital points now. Suddenly there was a huge raise in aura coming from the main plaza. He gasped, then bolted in that direction. I don't know why he did that, Gon never does it without a reason. But he was so far away, and he had to fend of villains as he went without killing them. "KILLUA!" that made his claws sharpen, and his fear spiked. That scream, it was full of pain and fear. Gon needs me, I need to get to him. He ignored the villains as they slashed at him, running past and shoving them out of the way. Gon's in danger, and I'll murder anybody who gets in my way.
