16) Failure Is Inevitable

A couple minutes later, we hear commotion up ahead. When we enter a clearing I spot Uraraka pinning a blonde girl down, but she had pierced the brunette's leg with something, siphoning blood from her thigh. "Uraraka," Shoji exclaims and Asui calls to us from where she's pinned to a tree by her long hair.

"Quickly, guys! Help her!" The blonde immediately throws our classmate off, and she hits the ground. The unidentified villain jumps away, releasing Asui, while Uraraka calls her back. "Stop!" As if she'd listen. Asui races to her friend's side, placing her hand on Uraraka's shoulder.

The blonde pauses, throwing a glance over her shoulder. "There's too many people here, and I don't feel like getting killed tonight. Toodles." She looks over at us and suddenly her eyes widen, her face turning red. I arch my brow quizzically at her odd response. "Get her!"

Uraraka jumps to her feet, but Asui stops her from pursuing the villain when she runs off into the darkness. "It's too dangerous. We have no idea what kind of Quirk she has.

"Who was that girl just now?" I question as we jog over to them. "One of the villains. She was crazy," Asui answers fearfully.

"Uraraka, you're hurt." Coming from the boy with two messed up arms. I wish he didn't have to mutilate himself everytime he uses his Quirk. "It's not bad. I can still walk okay. You're the one that looks terrible."

"We can't stand here and talk. Let's move," Shoji advises and I nod. "I'm just glad you're both alright. Now, come on, join our group. We're protecting Kacchan, and are making our way back to camp. We could use your help."

"If you're protecting Bakugo, then shouldn't he be standing here with you guys?" My eyes widen at her words and my heart races with anxiety. "Huh? What are you talking about he's right over here behind—" Midoriya cuts himself off, we turn back to find both Bakugo and Tokoyami have gone missing.

I didn't even hear a single thing, so they had to have been taken with incredible stealth. "Nice trick, eh?" A stranger's voice sounds somewhere nearby. I whip back around as Midoriya gasps, seeing a tall man standing above us on a tree branch. He's wearing a mask, balaclava, and a hat.

His attire consists of a long orange overcoat, gloves, necktie, black pants, and white boots. He's also holding a long white cane. "I took the lad you're talking about with my magic." He briefly tosses, what appears to be a teal marble up, letting it fall back onto his palm, then holds it between his first two fingers.

"A talent like his would be squandered were he cast as a hero." He now holds the marble between his index finger and thumb. That has to be Bakugo. This villain must have a Transformation Quirk that allows him to change his targets into those marbles. "Wh-what's going on?"

I don't answer my brother as the villain begins speaking again, but I'd guessed Ren lost consciousness when he didn't react to the absence of our two companions. "We'll provide him with a grander stage where he can truly shine."

"Give him back!" Midoriya commands sharply. "Give him back? What an odd thing to say. Bakugo doesn't belong to anyone. He's his own person."

"So, does that mean you asked nicely before snatching him from our group, turning him into that?!" Ren snarls at the man's hypocritical words. "Cause knowing Bakugo he'd have blasted you in the face and laughed at your stupidity!" I nod in agreement.

"Don't be so arrogant."

"We'll stop you!" Midoriya snaps and I rush forward. "Right now," I exclaim before sending ice in the villain's direction. Ren sends a sandy tendril to try apprehending him as well. He jumps to avoid us and I track his movement. "Why the aggression? We merely wish to show him that there are options besides the fanatical world of heroes he's drowning it."
