Mystery from Another World--MHA

Part 125: When what you don't know WILL kill you

The small group of heroes and Shine were making their way to the center of the city and taking out any nomu they found along the way.

They only found smaller ones, but they got through 5 more. That made 8 total they knew of. And 2 larger ones, if Endeavor finished his off.

Momo checked the news constantly along the way to see if any more were confirmed dead, but all the other monsters appeared to be at large. Mt. Lady and Kamui Woods were now on the edge of the city helping evacuate but not finding any more monsters.

The nomu, the news was saying, had no pattern. They were just moving toward the south side of the city.

"So this is literally going south," Wally said when he checked in, "I've herded a bunch of them more central, but they do keep trying to go... You know, it's like they're trying to go that way for a reason. I don't think the news has it right."

"Babe, when does the news ever have it right? But what could they be looking for? If they are just destroying everything in sight?" Shine asked.

They all had stopped to catch their breath, but they needed to move again.

"There's too many to just portal away," Wally said, "You need to save that for a quick rescue if we need it...so that leaves the old fashioned beating them into submission. Kids, you ready?"

"Please don't call us that when we're on the job," Shoto said.

"Your hero name is just your name," Wally said.

"Let's just call him IcyHot," Bakugo said.

"You do know that is just his name, right?" Dabi said, "It was stupid at the time, it's stupid now."

"And yours is so much more clever, Cremation Guy?" Bakugo shot back.

Dabi shrugged. "Never said it was supposed to be clever."

"We need more help than this." Shine shook her head. "I really don't think the 6 of us are enough. We're counting 13, possibly, of the little ones left, which, according to what you kids said, means they are smarter. I can only assume they were not brain washed as much because they are not finished. So they have some ability to fight on their own...so awful...and then 8 more fully formed ones...any one of which could be at the level of a Pro... 6 to 21? I don't like those odds."

"That's 3 for each of us," Bakugo said, "and 3 extra... I dunno, even I might not have that."

"If Bakugo was just humble, we are screwed," Shoto said dryly.

"Shut up!" Bakugo said.

"We'll just have to find more Pros," Wally said, "Team up with them. Endeavor would be best, right? I can look for him. How about you guys make a fire wall to keep them back in this area?" He pointed down he streets. "Fire, ice, whatever. Just make them stay put long enough for us to fight them."

Shine nodded. "What should I do?"

"Stand by. You're better at coming in for a quick save then running around herding bad guys. Try to find some weaknesses, and Peaches--I mean, Creati, you see if you can get in touch with some back up. Maybe a signal flare? Something. Neither of you are suited to the whole blockade thing, so that's just better. Ground Zero, you just keep any stragglers off of them."

He dashed away.

"Wow...I never knew he was a type to plan," Shoto said.

"When he has to be," Shine said, "and that's a sign this is bad. But don't you worry, I think we've got this if we do not get separated. That's crucial. We're stronger together. Bakugo, I am looking at you. Now do what he said."
