As soon as the giant stopped moving, I began to loosen the harness of vines from my body, quickly repelling down the giant's leg. I had no idea where I was, but I didn't want to stick around and be dragged someplace further away. Especially not when I knew the league of villains was still riding on his back.
"Master!"
The words uttered in that deep voice made me shiver in fear. He had carried me toward more villains and that made me rush my descent even faster. Upon reaching the ground, I looked in all directions, trying to figure out my location, but mostly looking for a place to hide. I could hear shouting, but it was too far away to make out individual words. The atmosphere was dusty, making it hard to see, but I could tell there was very little cover, wherever it was we had stopped. It looked as though we were in the middle of a desert, with nothing but gravel and rocks. But, upon closer inspection, I could see the remains of buildings crumbled in the distance. My first objective was to get as far away from that giant and the league as I could. Running quickly but carefully, I sped away from the monster's side and hid myself behind a slab of concrete. I wanted to make my way around him, to see who the source of the yelling was, but I was nervous.
"Master! I've come. Your will is my command, so give me an order, master!"
The giant's words made it clear that he had traveled here with a purpose. He came to find whoever was in charge of the villains. What if there were nothing but enemies to be found here? The safer option would be to wait for someone to realize I was gone and have them come and find me. I began to quietly observe my surroundings, looking for any hint as to where I was and if there was any way to escape unnoticed.
A loud crash sounded nearby, followed by a large dust cloud shooting up to the sky and the ground shaking. I kept my body hidden, but peeked around my cover trying to see through the dust and find out what in the world was going on. A softer thud sounded. Then a few more. A final thunk, close to where I was hiding, gave me the opportunity to find the source of all the noise. A large spool of wire had landed on the ground. And as the dust settled, my eyes widened at the scene in front of me. The giant monster was down, wrapped and bound tightly in wire. High in the air, standing atop the crisscrossing wires and controlling their movement, was Best Jeanist. I stood from my hiding spot, filled with relief, yet dumbfounded as to why the missing pro was suddenly here.
With the monstrosity downed, my view was no longer completely obstructed. I could tell there were other people down on the ground, but my eyes were drawn to the bright blue flames in the sky and the villain dropping free from his bindings. There had to be other heroes here, since he didn't immediately aim for Best Jeanist.
The gigantic man began to struggle, attempting to break free with a loud roar. But the wire spool in front of me unwound, binding the giant even tighter. I didn't know what to do. There wasn't anything I could do to help Best Jeanist, I would only be a distraction, someone he would feel the need to protect if he knew I was here. But still, I couldn't just stand here and do nothing. I began to creep closer, but as I was leaving the safety of my hiding spot, two things caught my eye at the same time.
The first was a group of black creatures moving toward the battle field. Nomu. They were fast. And they were aiming for Jeanist. It should have been a no-brainer for me to run to his aid. But the second thing that had caught my eye made me freeze. Red flames were clashing with blue above the prone form of the giant.
"Sho?" I whispered to myself.
What was he doing here? It didn't matter. He was here and I was going to help him. Sprinting across the field, I did my best to aid Jeanist, firing off capture vines at the nomu on the ground in the hopes of slowing their progress and shooting trees at the ones that were airborne in the hopes of knocking them down. I glanced up, checking to see if my hits had landed, and was so shocked my steps stuttered. Was that Mirio Togata? He must have gotten his quirk back, because he was quickly dispatching the nomu I had failed to hit. Loud explosions sounded behind me and I turned to see a bloodied Bakugo flying through the air, Iida right behind him, joining the fray. Nejire Hado was also there, shooting her spiraling waves at the stragglers.
