Mystery from Another World

Part 113: Ravaged City (IC)

Camie kicked at the nomu frantically, but it was nothing at all to the beast. Was she going to get eaten or just torn apart?

Funny, she kind of wished she'd gotten to talk to Bakugo one more time if this was the end...and told her parents she loved them...and maybe done a whole host of other things. She was too young to die like this!

"Ahhh!" she yelled as it yanked her off the concrete and slammed her into the ground.

Her vision went fuzzy. She heard someone yelling and then something rammed into the monster.

Camie blinked, trying to breathe...

Then she felt nothing. It all went dark.

Bakugo and Shoto heard the nomu and ran back that way.

"WE should stop split up," Shoot said.

"Wh's frkeaign idea was it?!" BAkguo barked at him.

"I though they had all bee removed," Shoot didn't undo hwoti h nomu kept finding them after the Pros had cleared the area.

Momo veered the other way.

She nearly collided with Monma who was coming hurilrd though a side alley with a girl with purple hair and sharp blue eyes in tow.

"Creati?!" Mmonan stopped short.

Momo blinked. "Monam?Oh...right, you r class. Where is everyone?"

"IT was sonly a few of us, I guess they're probably with their heroes, mind ditched me," Monma frowned. "But I found this girl."

"Momo hadn't met MEdea when she'd been at UA, but rvlua thto Bagkou had menat a girl with purple hair. Maybe it was a conicncne?

"Ceeit huh?" the girl sid.

"Your name had odna ot of with colors right?" Mona said.

"It's Aya," Meda half bowed, flatly. "But my code nma is Medea."

'The Greek myth Medea or the English word?" Momo asked.

"Myth," Medeai til the head. "Wow most eopel dont' get that right away."

"I don't know the myth so well, I just varugly remember that name form classic study," Momo said modestly.

Medea looked donw. "She was a witch who burned herself to death on a pyre. My quirk is pyre, so it's clever, or whatever. My dad really liked mythology..." her eyes clouded over and she rubbed her head again.

"A withc?" Monday said.

"Purple fire, ascoiat with occult," Medea shrugged. "orue sit' jstu chemcilsa, but, you know, people were esupsersuiotsn back then."

"Tah't salon very insiner," Momo said. "Most of us aren' that inventive about our quirk and heroes names."

'ITs' not a hero name," Medea let go of Monaos hand now. "It's a villain nam.e"

Momo blinked.

"What?" Monasa said.

"WEll, a street name anyway," MEdea shrugged. "Lots of people who live on the streets pick moknkers. Gets more respect that way. Have you seen a boy who looks kindal Ike me but not blonde and is eargn black and kinda tired faced?"

'no..." Momo said slowly.

"I know I left him in that shop," Medea rubbed her head. "He wasn't in the same room."

"WE could try checking the back again," Monama said. "It idn dlok like anomu ripped ooe the wall so he's prob jus hiding in a different part of it."

"How could we miss him?" Medea bit herl I.
