"Sorry, Bakugo." All For One says as the boy is spewed out of the black smoke.

"Huh?!"

The boy stares at him, confused as the League of Villains is spewed out around him.

"What the–?"

"Something stinks!"

There is a moment where everything seems to stop before Ekio appears next to him as well, one knee buckling but the other one managing to hold her up.

"Smells good!"

"Master..."

She looks around frantically without moving her head, trying to figure out where she is. One moment she was sure that she was safe, and now she has no idea what is going on or if she will ever be free.

Her eyes land on Bakugo, who is standing to the left, slightly hunched over with his arms limply in front of him, also trying to comprehend what just happened.

"You failed again, huh, Tomura?" All For One looks to his successor. "But do not be discouraged. Just try again. I have brought your associates back as well. Even these children. Because you judged that he was an important piece, and there is an attachment to this girl. Do it over as many times as you need to. That is why I am here. It's all for you."

Ekio tries not to react to his words, she just tries to stand up straight. Moving towards Bakugo will show her reliance on him and moving away will show that she has a weakness, a hole in her resolve. So if she can just stand up straight and look confident, then maybe she won't be profiled so hard.

As she is concentrating, she hears a very slight sound from her left. Past Bakugo and further behind him. Behind a wall.

There are people there, but she can't tell if they are on her side or not, so she keeps quiet about it and looks back to the problem at hand.

Kidnapping 2.0.

"You're here, after all, aren't you...?" All For one looks away from his subjects and to the sky, making Ekio tense.

"I'll have you return everything, All For One!"

"Will you kill me again, All Might?"

h.e.t.e.r.o.c.h.r.o.m.a.t.i.c.

Both Ekio and Bakugo are standing almost completely still. Shoulders hunched over and looking around, alert. Ekio is looking for something, anything that could possibly help her get away, or help someone else get away.

From the very slight muttering, she can hear, Ekio is certain that it is Midoriya behind the wall. As she is standing closest to it, it is very likely that Ekio is the only person who can hear them whispering, everyone else is too focused on the fight that is about to go down.

Dabi and Xian are on the ground, knocked out by the looks of it. The two men are next to each other, further away from the group and looking suspiciously close, but Ekio has other things to worry about.

All Might makes contact with All For One.

The Symbol of Peace seems to make no damage on the Villain, something that Ekio expected but didn't want to believe. The girl turns around and notices Bakugo fighting with the League, causing anxiety to rush through her veins.

With the damage of her legs, she can't fight. She may be able to distract, but she can't be dodging and relying on that leg.

'What the fuck do I do?' She mumbles.

Looking around, she never really had much close contact with anyone apart from Dabi and Xian. It is good that they are knocked out but now Ekio has to think of someone else and something else that will lighten the load of Bakugo.
