         Bakugo and Kirishima run out, seemingly without much consideration, to fight. "NOT IF WE END YOU FIRST!" Bakugo yells, explosions ready. "Betcha didn't see that coming!" Kirishima says, not far behind Bakugo. The portal man makes some comment under his breath. "NO, GET BACK, BOTH OF YOU! Thirteen warns, but it's too late. The purple mist coming from the portal-man extends. "Begone!" He utters as he covers Bakugo and Kirishima in a thick blanket of mist.  "Writhe in torment until you breathe your last." The portal-man says as everyone is whisked away, out of sight. I am dropped in a fairly rocky area. The ground is hard, and painful to fall on.

        Suddenly, everything is covered in a thick layer of ice, including my body. I see Todoroki in the distance, he seems to be making demands. He walks through the crowd, still talking. "What makes you think you can kill All Might, tell me the plan." He demands, meanwhile I'm freezing. I don't fare well in the cold, and this is beyond cold. This is pain, so cold it feels like I'm burning. "Todoroki, get your ass over here." I say, he looks until he finds me. "How do I know you're you?" He asks, I try to shoot him a look, but my face is numb. "Because, if you don't get me out of here, my fathers are going  to kick your ass. By fathers of course I mean Aizawa and Yamada. They got married when I was nine, and I was the flower girl in the purple kimono. Your father said your family was only there out of obligation, and because of that, and... other things, I hold a grudge against him. No offense. Now get me the hell out of here." Todoroki seems surprised at the amount of information I remember from the wedding. "No offense taken." He melts the ice and I rub my shoulders, I'm not equipped for winter.

        I go around searching minds, finally I find something. "What the hell is a Nomu?" I ask aloud, Todoroki looks at me, confused. "Something called a Nomu is supposed to be able to defeat All Might. It's supposedly super strong." I say, Todoroki seems to be strongly considering things. "Look, I need to rest, my mind is about to reach its limit." I say slumping against a rock. "Once I recover, I'm going to go help dad." Todoroki nods at me. "Thank you for getting that information." I smile, "No problem." I respond, not ten minutes after I sit down I hear a loud shout, I recognize it as my dad's.

        "I'm going now." I inform Todoroki, he looks over at me. "How's your head?" He asks, I look up, in all honesty it's still bad, but I won't tell him that. "It's manageable." I reply, he walks to me. "Look, I'm coming too, I want to contribute to defeating this... Nomu as well." He says, I give a gentle nod.

         We walk a while until seeing the hand covered man, he seems to be giving up. "But before that, let's leave a few dead kids." I hear him say, I see his thoughts, he's headed straight for Tsu. I dash over and extend my hand out in front of her. My hand begins to crumble, then stops abruptly. The hand covered man begins to laugh, "You really are pretty cool, Eraser Head." He says, I look to see my dad's strained face, etched with anger, covered in blood. Then a ginormous monster that I can only assume to be Nomu slams dad's head into the ground. I look upon this sight in horror. "You called him 'dad' earlier, correct?" The man asks me, I ignore him, I'm trying to use my quirk to push this beast off of my dad. Not much is happening, it's over my weight limit. I can feel blood trickle down my face.

       The man looks at my face, he seems amused. "Are you trying to use your quirk? To save him?" I don't answer, I feel the headache coming on. "Well we can't have that... and of course it's only fitting... Nomu." The creature comes at me, but Midoriya jumps in front of me before it can do anything. He punches it, but nothing happens, the man says something that I can't make out. The Nomu creature grabs Midoriya's arm.

        Suddenly, the doors are kicked down. "FEAR NOT... I AM HERE." It's All Might, and he's not smiling, he looks pissed. "I had a bad feeling, so I cut my talk with the principle short and came right away. I ran into Iida on the way, he told me the gist of what's going on here, and it made my blood boil! You kids must've been so scared. And my colleagues did their best! However, that's why I have to stand tall now and proclaim... FEAR NOT, I AM HERE!"

        The handy villain turned, "I've been waiting, hero. You're worthless trash." All might quickly dashed to dad. "I'm sorry Aizawa." He said as he scooped dad up and examined him. I have to read his mind. "His arms and face!!!" That's what he's thinking, "Is it really that bad?"  I ask myself, I feel more blood trickle down my face. "Um, Hikage, your nose..." Todoroki says, I nod. "I used my quirk again. Quite a bit, actually. It seems dad's hurt pretty badly." I say, my head feels like it's being split down the middle with an axe. I refuse to pass out.

        I run down to Midoriya, he's helping carry my dad. I can feel the stream of blood as I run, but I don't care. "Hikage! Yo-" I cut him off, and go to my dad. "Yeah, my nose, I know. Let me help." I say, "I was gonna point out your hand." My hand is in immense pain, "I'll be fine." I assure him, as soon as I do, Midoriya runs off. I use my quirk to help dad to the top of the stairs. By the time I get him up there, my head is in so much pain that I can't even describe it through words. I gently set him down and go over to him. "Dad..." I say, my voice strained, my vision is going spotty. I'm not even focusing on the battle going on behind me. "Hikage, you don't look so good. Are you okay?" Uraraka says, I shake my head a bit. He's breathing, he's still alive. My tears are both for my dad and for my pain. I use my quirk to move dad out of the way of anyone who might want to get downstairs. The darkness closes in and the last thing I remember is Uraraka calling my name.

Third-person POV:

        Hikage falls unconscious, and Uraraka moves her near her dad. Everyone's attention turns to the battle. All Might is pummeling the shit out of the Nomu. The suspense is very high, All Might punches it until he sends the Nomu flying. There are some words exchanged that are too hard to hear from the stairs. It looks like the handy-villain is going for the kill on All Might, until Midoriya jumps in front. It looks as if it is over, but the other pro heroes get there. Present-mic looks over at his husband and daughter with concern. The villains retreat and the injured are rushed to the hospital.
