??? (3rd P.O.V)

There they are. He moves forward silently, getting a better view of the group that he got hired by the LOV to take down. However temporarily it was, due to his quirk.

He starts up his quirk, taking aim at the class. Just a little longer. Almost. Done!

He smirks, his quirk is fully charged.

Taking one last look at his targets, he launches the built-up energy. He watches as, as it goes, it also expands. Soon it'll be big enough to completely surround the class.

As much as he wants to laugh in triumph since no one seems to notice it getting steadily closer, he knew he couldn't without running the risk of getting caught.

Then he saw something from the corner of his eye. It looked like a yellow blur. It came to a screeching halt in front of his attack, he heard a faint shout and suddenly the energy seemed to disappear. Just like it does when activated. His eyes narrowed. Had someone activated it?

He squinted to see a Pikachu looking figure standing dazed in the spot where his power used to be. So it was he who had activated it!

All was still for a moment, the entirety of the class in shock. Then, the blond started to fall, the quirk taking effect. As he fell a scarf seemed to surround him, catching him before he hit the ground.

It kept him in place as the owner, a purple einstein-haired boy who looked like he hadn't slept in 2 weeks. When he was close enough to the limp boy he loosened his scarf's grip on the Pikachu. He caught him before he hit the ground, cradling him close.

The attacker only had a second to wonder if they were a couple before he realized a group of very angry and protective teenagers (as well one extremely murderous black-haired man) coming straight at him.

As he turned to make his getaway, he took note of who his pursuers were. There was an explody pomeranian, a red and white knock-off prince Zuko, a girl dr. Octavius, a human broccoli, a female rocker and a homeless man with a long scarf. 'Hmm, I wonder if he's related to the purple-haired kid. I mean they give off the same vibe...' the man thought as he fled.

'Dam... I shouldn't have agreed to do this' he mentally chided.

Denki/3rd P.O.V

Denki was talking to Shinso, well that and just straight up admiring him (not that he'd ever admit it). It was one of the rare days that Aizawa-sensei was giving them a day to relax. For Shinso, who had joined the class just a month before (when Mineta had gotten expelled for taking his antics too far), it was the first he had a day off with his class. It wasn't long after he had joined that Denki had developed an infatuation for the purple-haired boy, not daring to say anything though due to the fact that they had become great friends and he didn't want to risk messing that up. 'After all, why would someone like Shinso ever even consider liking the class idiot,' he thought to himself glumly.

So, as he was half-listening to the insomniac rant about training with their dark-haired teacher and about Todoroki and his conspiracy theories, he just nodded along without saying a word. To be honest, he actually thought Todoroki may be onto something this time, Shinso being their sensei's secret love child didn't seem that farfetched nor did it seem inaccurate honestly. They both looked like they hadn't slept in ages, they both liked cats, they both loved to smile way too widely, they both gave off a kind of 'don't talk to me' vibe and they had a great relationship in general so yeah sue him if he agreed with this theory!

The day was going great, he looked at his squad and the Dekusquad who were mingling, expecting to see them basically the same thing they were last he had looked over about 5 minutes before.

They were, in fact, doing about the same things as before. Bakugo was trying to engage in another spar, Kirishima was grinning at said pomeranian and agreeing to said challenge most likely saying something about how manly it was, Midoriya and Todoroki were discussing something with Iida who looked awkward (which was quite hilarious), Tsu and Uraraka were with Mina who was teaching them a dance move, Sero was just spectating it all and Tokoyami was lurking per usual. One thing caught Kaminari's attention though, for it had most definitely had not been there before.

A ball of energy, growing larger by the second, was approaching his class. His eyes widened as he realized that it would soon be large enough to envelop everyone there.

His body moving at its own accord was running towards the energy, his only thought was a mantra of 'don't let it hit them. Stop it!' From behind him he vaguely heard Shinso shouting his name, but he ignored him.

Before he knew it he was standing directly on the energy's path, holding his arms out, trying to make himself bigger so none of this quirk would get past him. Almost a second later, the quirk hit him. It blew all the air out of his lungs and caused him to gasp in shock.

Denki felt his chest constrict, it was as though ALL the air had left his lungs and he was having a hard time breathing. His vision became spotted even as he managed to even out his breath. He heard the faint sound of running and bustle of movement.

The world felt like it was tilting and the floor seemed to be getting closer. He felt something wrap around his waist; heard a familiar voice shout his name again, sounding much closer this time.

Then, he knew no more.
