Unchained

Prologue - Boulder Checkers and Pokeballs

Authors note: Honestly, you can skip this chapter if you want. It doesn't set the tone very well, hence Take On Me being our header video. For context, this was blasting in VC as this chapter was written.

Tomura Shigaraki watched over the populated mall with hateful eyes, sitting on a bench. A hood pulled over his head obscured most abnormalities he would usually show in public.

His hands fidgeted in his hoodie pocket restlessly, missing the hand that was usually on his face. He just had to be patient, this would all be over soon.

The villain stood up and stretched, careful not to show his face as he pulled up a medical mask from under his chin.

"Time to destroy~" he whispered to himself quietly.

Approaching a pillar to the building casually, looking up to where it held the top of the building. He smirked to himself as he discreetly placed his hand onto it with 4 fingers, counting down from 3 in his head before setting the last finger down.

Seeing the paint discolor and crack beneath his hand, he giggled; waiting a few seconds before pulling his hand back and walking off before that part of the ceiling collapsed on him.

Todoroki, who'd been at the mall with some of 1A, turned his head when he saw the beginning of the paint chipping. "what was that?"

Looking over toward the direction Todoroki was looking, Denki shrugged "Nothing good, that's for sure.."

Todoroki sees the ceiling starting to crack, and goes into action, "Everyone get undercover!"

Todoroki froze what he could of the roof to prevent it from falling.

Ducking under, Denki shouted with widened eyes "What on earth was that?!"

"Shigaraki must be here."

A crowd of panicked civilians started to flee from the area at the sound of Todoroki's voice.

The majority of the roof collapsed as well as big parts of the pillar falling off, incapacitating a few civilians that couldn't make it out.

"We gotta go make sure everyone's okay!"

"I'll get the left wing."

"I'll take right?"

Kirishima broke out from under a piece of roof "Guys, what the fuck?!"

"You alright, dude?" Denki asked, glancing over his shoulder.

"I mean yeah, of course" Kirishima deactivated his quirk "Are you guys ok?"

Todoroki looked to Kirishima to make sure he'd be ok before running.

"All good, we gotta go help the people!" running off towards the rubble, Denki listened for any struggle.

"Okay, let's go!" Kirishima activated his quirk and head towards the main destruction.

A few people called out for help near Kaminari and Kirishima. Mostly just people with arms or legs trapped under debris, which was still falling.

A civilian from just outside the destruction area had started calling 911.

Kirishima pulled out 3 people from under a piece of roof "An ambulance should be on its way, you guys should get outside!"

"I really should've spent more time at the gym.." Denki muttered under his breath, hauling debris from the trapped citizens.

Lumen and Lumine hear the events in the distance, after which they rush over to the location.
