Of Flames And Quirks And Harmony

CHAPTER 15: Ambush

'hey' - thoughts
"Hey" - speaking through bond

~~~

Tsuna was sporting a migraine as Aizawa-sensei came in. He couldn't even focus on what's being said. It was worrying him that his Hyper Intuition gave him a strong migraine this time. His head was screaming at him, threatening his eyes to pop out and his brain to swell. It surely felt like that, an oppressing feeling wanting to burst out.

'Ah, could it be at the Fort? Are they in trouble? But Reborn is there, so it shouldn't hurt this much. Could it be a surprise attack? Ah, I can't even make a call to check on them!'

"Juudaime, are you ok?" Hayato asked.

"My head's killing me," he answered behind gritted teeth.

"Come here, let me numb the pain," Takeshi offered.

"It's my Hyper Intuition," he explained, which made Izuku's sun-coated hand stop mid-air from reaching Tsuna's head.

"No matter. We can't have you fight with a migraine," Takeshi answered back.

"Chrome, please try to contact anyone at the base. See if they're ok," Hayato ordered.

"Done that. They said they're fine. Reborn says to kick some ass," Chrome answered without a beat.

Damnit. The attacks gonna be here, then.

"What's wrong with him?" He heard their teacher ask Takeshi, who was at his side. The moments before they rode on a bus going somewhere were a blur, he doesn't even know what's going on anymore.

"He's having a migraine, sensei," Takeshi answered.

'Maybe I should tell him.'  "Sensei," he called. "Something bad is about to happen," he said in slurry words.

"What bad? You're going on rescue training."

"No. Something bad is going to happen."

"There won't. I'll make sure of that."

Tsuna wanted to feel assured, but his Hyper Intuition has other visions for him. Something is seriously gonna happen.

As they entered the training grounds Tsuna had to beat his lip, grip Takeshi's arm hard that he's sure would make some bruises tomorrow, and stop himself with all the courage he can muster just to not fall to the ground, as he cradled his head. He felt another pair of arms help him up, and additional Sun Flames surrounding him. He can also feel Mist Flames encasing his body; Hayato must've instructed Chrome to create an illusion of him being well. It's a good thing, Tsuna decides; he doesn't want to worry anyone. Izuku and Hitoshi flanked his outer sides, keeping up the act that everything is fine while being more alert.

As the hero they are going to train with kept on talking, he felt, more than he could see, a slight ripple in the air in front of them. He quickly went to their teacher and whispered, "incoming from the fountain."

His teacher obeyed without asking questions. Lights went out, and a violet rimmed black mist appeared out of nowhere. "Huddle up! Now!" He shouted. He took into a fighting stance, "Thirteen, protect the kids!"

"What's that?" Kirishima asked from the crowd.

There were people, mutants and normal alike, coming in from the mist. A group of people. At the center was a skinny man with severed hands wrapping around his whole body, another being that was mostly consisted of mist, and a skull-opened giant creature that was like a beacon of abomination.

"Sawada, can you do that trick you did at the entrance exam?" Aizawa-sensei asked.

"Yes, I can, but I'd rather observe first before firing. Looking at the warps, it's very likely they have a teleportation quirk like Izuku."

"Figures. You go regroup with them, Kid," their teacher ordered him. Aizawa-sensei wore his goggles. "They're villains."

Everyone gasped in shock.

"Where is All Might?" A voice from the villains group asked, eyes scanning the whole place. "I brought so much friends but the Symbol of Peace All Might is not here. If I kill these kids here, will he appear?"

"Not on my watch," Tsuna whispered darkly, his HI-induced migraine now gone as the danger presented itself.

"Thirteen, start evacuation. Contact the school for back up. The villains must've gathered a quirk user who can interfere with radio wave frequencies. Kaminari, try using your quirk to contact someone."

Kaminari's hand quickly went to his headphone.

"Sawada, is your pair of headphone for design only?"

"No. I can use it for contact. Already on it," he replied, urgency on his tone. He didn't need to inform them that their frequency was different, being infused with Spanner's Lightning Flames, which makes it unbreakable, untraceable, and hard for outsiders to link and tamper with. "Chrome, contact Mukuro. See if he can transport either Reborn or Nii-san. We can't afford to let them know we have our own teleporter," he whispered to the girl as he nudged the string of Cloud Flames encircling his own orange ones.

"Sensei! Do you plan on fighting alone?"
"Think you can make it here in Musutafu, Kyoya? Trouble's here."

"Your quirk can only affect so much..."
"Can't. Italy right now. Do what you can, Omnivore."

"Eraserhead's combat style is erasing quirk before capturing..."
Welp. There goes his immediate call for help.

"To fight face to face..."
"Boss, everyone's at a mission right now," Chrome whispered back.

"One trick pony can't be a hero."
"Guess we're on our own. We'll hold out our end here and help Thirteen protect our classmates."

"I'll go with you. I evolved, remember?" Hitsoshi sternly said in a voice that left no room for any more arguments. He caught whatever Izuku had thrown at him.

Aizawa glared at him, sizing him up. He noticed the gun he quickly hid under his top coat. How his ward is going use that, Aizawa found himself not wanting to know. "Thirteen, they're in your hands," Eraserhead dismissed as he faces the gathered crowd of villains and jumped down to the group, charging with Hitoshi hot on his wheels.

Thirteen was directing them back to the entrance when Tsuna felt a nudge from his Hyper Intuition. "WAIT! Stop!" He shouted.

Just on time when everyone has stopped, the violet-black mist appeared from the floor. "No way to hide," said a deep voice. Out came a mystified body. "Greetings. We are the League of Villains. Pardon us, but we'd like to eliminate the Symbol Of Peace. So where is All Might?"

Tsuna wanted to snort. Gah, even the lowliest of mafia knew better than to state their wants at first sight. These people are amateurs! 'Ugh! Can I just launch a XXBurner right now, consequences be damned, so that everything ends in an instant?' His Hyper Intuition led him to whip his head up front, and if he wasn't fast enough, Bakugo and Kirishima would've been swallowed by the mist. "Don't just jump. We don't know what his quirk is," Tsuna scolded.

"Then how about this!" Bakugo shouted and sent explosions to the enemies way.

"That was close-," the villain said through the smoke

"You three, move away!" Thirteen warned them just as they thrust their finger forward, pointing to the misty body.

"I am here-"

"Gather together fast!" Tsuna shouted as he dragged the 2 with him to the center of his grouped classmates.

"To separate you all and kill you one by one!" The enemy announced as his whole body engulfed them all.
