I Can't Cope Alone (A Kamijiro FanFic)

Chapter 10

SERO'S POV

It was no surprise that Kaminari came. In fact, I have the feeling that he's blaming himself for all this. We had this whole debate on who should text him and ask him if he was coming which turned into a rock-paper-scissors tournament. Obviously, Kirishima lost. He just chose rock every time. "Rocks are unbreakable!" He'd say. Sure, Kiri, sure. Anyway, we arrived at a gray, brick building. A castle, more like. There were no windows, nor a door. "Deku?" Uraraka asked, but Midiroiya was already in the air and coming down, nearly destroying us along with the wall. No sirens went on. We stepped inside and there wasn't anybody there to notice.

"This feels wrong, you guys." Uraraka whis[ered. I nodded. 'Cells. Jail cells over there. It's too dark to see if anyone's there, though." I hissed. "I'll go in. If I don't go in, I like you, Kirishima." Ashido whispered. "Wha~?!" Kirishima yelled. She opened the door, went inside, and screamed. 

ASHIDO'S POV

"OJIRO~!" I screamed, "IT'S OJIRO! HE'S OKAY! HE'S GOOD, I SWEAR IT!" "A-Ashido?" he mumbled weakly. Todoroki's eyes were tinted red when he became evil, but I thought it was because of the crying. Ojiro's eyes were fine, but I saw it; we all did. He was terrified. "They brainwashed T-Todoroki and t-took J-Jiro, I can't-" "Ojiro. We're breaking out of here. You'll be fine." Uraraka reassured him. He nodded, but we all saw his doubt. He was traumatized, and half the life was beaten out of him. Both Kirishima and I opened our mouths to comfort him, but someone interrupted. Todoroki. "Let's get this over with." He emerged fromt eh shadows. Trailing behind him, was Jiro.

KAMINARI'S POV

"J-Jiro." I stuttered quietly. Green energy surged around Midoriya. "Wait, bruh, we can't hurt them." Kirishima said. The energy faded. "Then what're we supposed to do?" Sero asked, a little annoyed. "You die." Todoroki said bluntly. Hagakure pixelated out of nowhere with her stupid Cheshire grin. "Icy-Hot's right. Let's have some fun!" she cried. "Awww, too bad I never got to Monkey-Man... Oh, well. He'd be useless anyway! NOW TO KILL YOU ALL!" The electric charge came back around Midoriya. "It just passes right through her. Don't break yourself for it." I warned. Again, the green disappeared.

Todoroki shot ice beams at us.

"You made a big mistake coming here, you sad waste of electricity! You're next!" Hagakure doubled over giggling. I scowled. That was only a distraction. Jiro's earphone jacks were plugged into her amps on her wrist and were sending sonic vibrations at me. Strong ones. She then stabbed me with her jacks in the eyes and pinned me down without a word. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't hurt her, but I'd become a mindless minion if I didn't get out of this heckuva mess. I just wanted painfully to take Jiro back with me and for her to be safe. I glanced around the room. Sero and Uraraka were strung to the ceiling with Sero's own tape, both burned by Todoroki. Midoriya, Ashido, and an unconscious Ojiro were piled into a bleeding heap and I was just pinned to the ground. Uraraka and Midoriya watched me while Sero and Ashido were just yelling insults at Hagakure, Todoroki, and Jiro. Kirishima was nowhere in sight. I was shaking. What was I supposed to do? I couldn't use my powers to hurt Hagakure. Even if I could, I'd injure my allies just as badly. I really was just a waste of electricity.

KIRISHIMA'S POV

A trigger. There has to be a trigger somewhere. Something I need to break to free Jiro and Todoroki. Nobody could see me at this point. I was concealed in a room containing vials and staffs and orbs, etcetera. I needed to destroy all of them. I hardened my hands and started smashing things two at a time. I then realized that there was a small box on a shelf near the ceiling. I jumped from a cart to a tall shelf and grabbed the box. Two orbs clanked against each other inside. A purple on and a red one. I pounded one, then the other, but they wouldn't break. These were the ones.

I hardened my whole body and jumped on one. It finally broke after jumping several times. I shattered the other one soon after. I got texts from Ashido.

Ashido: kiri

Ashido: kirishima

Ashido: r u ok

Ashido: where r u

Kirishima: im coming ur way im ok what happened 2 u guys

Ashido: ojiros still out hagakures gone and todoroki and jiro just passed out hurry up before hagakure comes back were getting outta here

Kirishima: k

I ran as fast as I could to the hole Midoriya destroyed in the wall when we came in. Everyone was waiting for me. Uraraka was floating Todoroki above her head, Sero and Midoriya each had one of Ojiro's arms draped around their neck, and Kaminari was holding Jiro bridal style. "Where were you?!" Sero cried. "You know, the normal. Freeing our classmates from the grasp of Toru Hagakure." I panted. "YOU WHAT?!" Uraraka cried. She nearly dropped Todoroki out of the sky. I grinned. "I'll explain later. Now can we go? Hagakure's grin is gonna haunt me if I see it again..." I replied. "Yeah. Let's go." Midoriya agreed, adjusting his grip on Ojiro.

JIRO'S POV

I woke up in Kaminari's arms. We were moving. Fast. "Jiro!" Kaminari yelled. I stared at him, confused. When did I get here? How did I get here? Why did I get here? "You don't remember?" he asked, reading my mind. I shook my head. "Okay... I promise, I'll explain this all once we get back to U.A." I stared at him. "What did I do?" I asked quietly, realizing I was being carried by him, blushed, and got up. He hesitated.

"You don't remember?" he asked, reading my mind. I shook my head. "Okay... I promise, I'll explain this all once we get back to U.A." I stared at him. "What did I do?" I asked quietly. He hesitated. I knew it was bad immediately. I started talking like Midoriya when I apologized. Kaminari opened his mouth to reply, but Todoroki interrupted him. "Please put me down." Todoroki said. Everyone stopped running as Uraraka released him. "Now what's going on?" he asked as he touched the grass. "Dude. It's a long story. Heck, YOU ALMOST KILLED US ALL!" Sero screamed. Midoriya kicked him in the shin.

Todoroki just looked puzzled. Maybe as puzzled as I was. "It was planned so I don't remember any of it, then. Apologies if I did 'heck, try to kill you all'." "Make sure Todoroki never uses slang again." Sero whispered. Everyone heard it, though. "So let me get this straight. Hagakure tried to murder Ojiro and turn Jiro, Kaminari, and I into her minions?" "Yep. That's the story. She accomplished most of it. I think Ojiro's actually dead." Sero replied, getting another kick in the shin from Midoriya. "He is not dead. I checked." Midoriya insisted. "Fine." Sero grumbled.

"And so, you KOed Jiro and ran off with Hagakure and next thing you know, we're here, saving your butts!" Sero finished his dramatic story. Todoroki looked unfazed by all of this. "Alright." he said. "Ugh. Now we have to explain all this to Mr. Aizawa." Ashido complained. I was super confused. Todoroki and I exchanged bewildered glances.
