{MHA} The Lonely Pyromaniac

-Ikemoto-

I groaned as I sat down on a pile of rubble. Jiro and Kaminari had decided to choose the interior of a ruined office building as a hiding spot.

"Should we have brought Todoroki with us? I feel kind of bad that he went off all alone," Jiro said.

"Nah, it's better for the hiders if we're more split up, right? It'll be more difficult for the seekers this way, right?" Kaminari argued.

"Then why are the three of us bunched together like sardines?" I grumbled.

Kaminari looked like he wanted to protest, but we had to keep quiet, as we were three of the eight people that weren't allowed to make noise. We sat quietly waiting for the 'rescuers' to come find us. Suddenly, there was a loud sound and all three of us jumped in surprise.

"What the hell was that?" Kaminari yelled.

"Language!" I yelled back.

We could hear Iida yelling at the top of his lungs and running around above us. "Okay seriously, what's going on?" Kaminari asked, craning his neck to see if he could see what was going on through the cracks in the wall.

The ground started shaking and the three of us ran out of the building to avoid being buried by falling cement and bricks. "It's a villain!" Iida yelled.

"What?" Kaminari and I both bellowed and turned to see the villain. He was wearing spiked shoulder pads, as well as a spiked gas-mask that was half orange, half black. It covered his whole face, concealing his appearance. To be honest, he looked like a combo between Ghost Rider and Deathstroke.

"He's dragging Todoroki!" Jiro pointed at what the villain was holding. "The strongest student in the class..."

"Get the teachers as fast as possible!" Iida yelled. Several other students, including Izuku, arrived and stared at the villain in shock.

"Mr. Aizawa! There's a villain!" Ojiro yelled, running for the teachers.

Thirteen and Aizawa turned to look at him. "Oh no. What a situation. We're injured and can't fight," Aizawa said in an oddly calm voice.

"Run! Run for the exit! Quickly!" Thirteen yelled.

"You won't escape! This'll be your GRAVE!!" the villain yelled, bringing his food down with a powerful stomp. The ground began to shake, and when the dust cleared, Class 1-A was standing in a crater where there had once been office buildings.

While my classmates were freaking out about the villain's strength, I quickly found Izuku's green hair and uniform, and ran for him. "Nii-san! Are you okay?!"

"Yeah, I'm fine. We should be more worried about Todoroki," he replied. "We have to stop this villain!"

"Now that I can see you all... NO ONE WILL ESCAPE!!" the villain screamed.

At this rate, my headache was going to come back.

Thirteen yelled for us to run, but Bakugo launched himself into battle, screaming profanities left and right. "RUN IF YOU WANT, JUST DON'T BOTHER ME!! I'LL GET RID OF HIM!!" he yelled.

"Who does he think he is?" I growled, about to rush in, but Izuku grabbed my shoulder.

"We have to prioritise the rescue. Besides, the villain seems unfazed by his explosions. Kacchan is creating an opening for us to run!"

"You're not going to run, are you, Nii-san?" I sighed.

Bakugo launched a huge explosion at the villain, and the force of it pushed the explosive blonde backwards and next to Iida, who was near us. "HEY! DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!! DON'T JUST STAND THERE!! MAKE THOSE WEAKLINGS RUN!!" he screamed to Iida.

"Not when Todoroki is being held hostage!" I yelled.

"We're the twenty students of Class 1-A! We'll all be heroes one day!" Uraraka yelled back.

"We'll save Shoto!" Yaoyorozu said.

Izuku gave me his I'm-so-screwed-but-I-don't-care smile. "We're going to save him!" he agreed in determination.

"Of course you are," I rolled my eyes. "You have a plan, don't you?"

Izuku nodded, and our classmates gathered around as Bakugo went back to fighting/distracting the villain. Once Izuku had explained the plan, we all stood, ready to fight. The villain threw a punch, and the wind pressure blasted us with pieces of rubble.

"I'll take care of this✨!" Aoyama yelled, blasting the boulders with his laser. Kirishima used his hardened arms to punch through any boulders that Aoyama's laser had missed.

Jiro pulled one of her jacks into her speaker boots and engulfed the villain in a wave of sound, which forced him to go on the defensive. While the villain was distracted, Sero shot tape at him, while Yaoyorozu fired a net-cannon.

"Go!" Izuku yelled, and he, Iida, Shoji, and I ran for the villain, trying to rescue Todoroki.

"GAH!!" the villain boomed, and he ripped through the tape and the net with one powerful move. The wind pressure unleashed from that blasted the four of us away, and I felt the armour on my left arm shatter as it met the ground. But one good thing had happened.

The villain had let go of Todoroki.

"Iida!" I yelled to the engine boy.

"I've got this!" he yelled back, running and bringing Todoroki back to us. The dual-haired boy was unconscious.

I heard someone groan, and I saw Izuku slowly standing back up. I quickly got up and ran to him. "Nii-san, are you okay?"

The villain laughed. "I didn't think you'd all run for me like that. It was unexpected, but with something so simple-"

He was cut off by an explosion to the back of the head. "Shut up, BASTARD!!"

The villain swung his hand and threw Bakugo backwards into the other side of the crater. "It seems that you're tired. Shall we end this?"

"No!" Izuku shouted. He readied himself to flick his fingers with One for All. "LEAVE KACCHAN ALONE!!" he screamed.

He flicked his finger, and the villain crossed his arms to keep the pressure from blowing him away. "Impressive," the villain marvelled. "But that's not going to work."

I heard Izuku whimper, and I looked over and saw that his finger was broken. Izuku was hurt, and I could see him shaking a little, both from tiredness and pain.

I could feel a familiar bubbling anger boiling over inside of me.

"THAT WAS MY BIG BROTHER, YOU OVERGROWN DEATHSTROKE WANNABE!!"
