World of Hearts: Linked as One (Book 1)

0-3: Call to Action

No matter how Izuku tried to make sense of it, the only fact that has him and Bakugo baffled is that the boy he just saved is flying.

Flying.

Not floating.

Flying.

'I was not prepared for today,' Izuku thought.

"Oi, nerd..." He heard Bakugou muttered in a gruff voice.

"Kacchan?"

"What the hell are you standing around here?"

Bakugou grabbed Izuku by the collar and tossed him before firing off a powerful blast.

"GET FUCKING GOING, YOU SHITTY NERD!" Bakugo said. "DIIIIEEEEE!"

Izuku activated Float in that split second and started going after them, propelling himself. He began to follow those three.

'First that guy's a Keyblader, the girl is a magical girl and then there's that other guy with a katana in hand...' Izuku thought. 'I don't get what's going on right now, but as a hero, it's my job to protect and save lives!'

Izuku followed after those three and kept pace with them. He saw a tornado form from the ground.

'That monster's spinning up again!' Izuku thought. 'Those three don't have any experience in fighting monsters or Grimm, let alone villains. If I can just catch up to them...'

He could hear some explosions coming from behind him. Bakugou must be behind him.

Togata had caught up with Todoroki. The two evacuating civilians from the area. The smokescreen Izuku had created in a hurry was torn down by that tornado. It must have dispersed the smokescreen when it came down. Todoroki looked at the Keybladers already fighting each other. The villain, described by Izuku as 'a man with tendrils on his head and back,' was holding out against two wielders that Izuku reported to be possible Keyblade Masters.

Then there was that tornado.

That tornado definitely wasn't a natural phenomenon. Whatever was howling in there most definitely generated that tornado.

"We got to wait until some Pro-Heroes get here," Togata said, "Deku and Dynamight should be able to slow our big bad wolf monster long enough for reinforcements to arrive."

"And what about him?" Todoroki asked, pointing to the Keybladers fighting each other.

Togata shook his head.

"We can't do anything about them," Togata said. "Right now, the civilians take priority. Focus on saving and protecting them."

Minutes earlier...

Ruby was in as much shock as her teammates were. First there was a sudden tornado, then there was the sound of what could have been a really big Beowolf, and now said Beowolf, if they could even call it a Beowolf, slammed down right into a sushi restaurant. Ruby merely gawked at the sight of the large beast with her jaw hanging. Weiss looked visibly confused (and mildly) frustrated at the situation. Yang was speechless and was still trying to process all of this. Blake on the other hand had fell to her knees. She looked devastated at the sight, her irises and pupils shrinking out from shock and all color from her face was drained.

"That's one big bad wolf..." Ruby said. "And I mean really big..."

"I knew we should have stayed in Beacon..." Weiss said.
