KARMA ๏ KATSUKI BAKUGO

a pocket knife

You fell after feeling the ground again. If it weren't for your knee, you wouldn't have, but the little fucker just had to keep getting in the way. Unsure if you actually heard it crack again or if it were your imagination, you still grabbed hold of your thigh and squeezed it tightly, trying to block out some of the pain.

You coughed yourself, spitting out the black goop that was still left to burn in your throat.

"What the hell?" Bakugo coughed beside you, he was standing. You shifted on the ground, bitting your tongue as the pain twisted your knee, but just as you were about to help yourself up, two pairs of shoes were in your view.

You shot your head up, your face hardening as you stared at a man in a suit with no face. He had something similar to what Kurogiri had around his neck, but this man's face...it simple didn't exist, just his mouth. You couldn't look away, but you kicked your good leg at Bakugo, making him look.

"Sorry, L/n. Sorry, Bakugo." The man spoke, and you hated how his voice sounded familiar. You didn't bother trying to remember, you knew he was a bad omen. You started to claw away at your wrist, attempting to free yourself from the bracelet. 

Yet again, the villains made their appearance again. Showing up just how you and Bakugo did a second ago, all of them coughing or collapsing to the ground.

"You failed again, Huh, Tomura." The man spoke to Shigaraki. You made the assumption that the tall demeaning man in front of you was the actual boss. He took a step forward. "But do not be discouraged. Just try again. I have brought your associates back with you as well, and even these children, because you found them as important pieces." He held a hand out. 

"Do it over as many times as you need to. That is why I am here. It's all for you." His words didn't feel right. He was shifting them around, playing with them. Playing with Shigaraki. Shigaraki was just a pawn in his game.

Bakugo shuddered out a breath. Finally being able to tear your eyes away, you looked back down on your wrist. To you, it felt as if the metal alloy was bending, but it wasn't. It only dug into your skin. There was scratch marks all around your arm, and yet, it didn't move. A dire moment we're using your quirk can help you and Bakugo get away, and you were useless.

In a desperate attempt, you started to bang your hand on the ground, hoping it would crack. Sure, it got the attention of everyone, but you didn't care right now. You just wanted your quirk back. As you raised your hand again, you thought you heard some sort of gripping of fabric from a nearby wall, but looking over, you couldn't see anything.

"You're here, after all... aren't you?" The faceless man spoke. You tilted your head, looking at him when all of a sudden, All Might came shooting down from the air.

"I'll have you return everything! All for one!" When All Might said this, you crossed your eyes. Did he say something about One for All to Midoriya? The name was so similar. 

"Will you kill me again, All Might?" The faceless man, presumably All for One, was blocking All Might's punch with ease.

The air pressure around them became even greater and eventually pushed you, and everyone else around you back. Your body slammed into the ground, causing a cry of pain to escape when your knee harshly hit the rocky terrain. You put your hands out in front of you, grabbing the ground and slowing yourself to a stop. 

Wiping the dirt from your eye, you spat out the extra bits of dust from your mouth and searched to find All Might and All for One. They were facing each other in the centre of a dust cloud that started to disappear. Bakugo was in front of you, he didn't seemed harmed.

As All Might jumped forward, his fist ready, the villain just stuck up his hand and started to use his quirk. His forearm grew bulky and then shot out a pressure wave so great it blew the number one hero back. With wide eyes, you watched as All Might was sent flying into a building.
