I stared in horror as my arm began to burn from the flames, but that was not my concern.
My concern was Bakugou and Tokoyami.
"Y-You give my classmates back!"
I yelled at the villain, tears coming from my eyes as I ran towards him, moving my arm from the flames.
He looked towards me, before tipping down his hat.
"You ruined my fabulous entry with your tomfoolery, you won't do the same with my exit."
He reached towards me, and I connected the dots fast enough to duck.
Why would he reach towards me, unarmed, unless it meant his quirk had something to do with it?
Despite my severely broken arms, I accessed my quirk. I would fight. 
"Midoriya! Save your energy! I have them!"
I heard Shoji's familiar voice, causing me to turn towards him.
He had the marbles.
I looked towards the marble villain before sprinting towards my classmates, out of breath from my previous fight against Muscular.
"You exposed your biggest secret. Your quirk has something to do with marbles, right?"
He lifted two small marbles in his fingers.
"Then I would assume these are Bakugou and Tokoyami."
"Well! Color me impressed! You took the slip on me."
The others began to shrink back, the marble villain stopping the burnt-faced one with a few words.
"..Let them gloat.."
That's all I heard before I turned, my eyes meeting with the fire quirk villain.
"..If I show off something shiny, it's because there's something I don't want you to see."
And he slid off his mask, opening his mouth to show two marbles..
"NO!"
My feet took off running towards him, despite the flame user powering his quirk towards me. It burnt one of my legs, causing me to slow down as I reached towards him..
A laser shot his face.
A familiar one.
The marbles shot from his mouth and, in a moment of desperate measures, I grabbed one.
Shoji grabbed the other.
I turned, before seeing the flame quirk user above me.
"You stole my prize you brat."
Flames shot from his hands and I ran, feeling my back quickly get burnt.
I threw the marble, and it was caught by Todoroki.
"Midoriya!"
There was a note of desperacy in Shoji's voice before I fell over onto my face, the pain coming to me.
My entire body was sore, and it didn't help but worry me as I heard approaching footsteps. They were slow, menacing.
"Fine. I guess we'll take a different prize today. You were on Shigaraki's personal list, anyways.."
He hissed into my ear, before grabbing me by my hair and dragging me.
My vision was starting to blur. 
I could see my classmates rushing. I extended my battered arm towards them, before the entire setting changed.
I could feel my back being dragged on hardwood floors, and figures stared down at me.
My head was dropped onto the ground. I was already losing focus, losing consciousness.
"..didn't I ask for that Bakugo brat?! This is the wrong one!"
"He stole that one, so we had to improvise."
"Kill him. We have no use..-"
Two seperate voices were cut off as a more darkened, muffled voice came from what seemed to be a screen.
"No.. no.. I have an idea for this young hero. He has a strong quirk, and we don't want that put to waste.."
There was silence, before he continued.
"Kill him, and stuff him into a vessel. With his quirk, we'll surely have stronger chances."
At these words I began crawling backwards, using my only unharmed leg. It was clear I caught attention of one of them, because he walked towards me and slid his hand around my throat. One finger at a time..
His face was familiar. Was it that villain from the USJ?

"Master, we have a change in plans."
And the fifth finger attached itself to my neck.
