【 Tranquility 】

-Opposed-

We peaked again, but I kept my head a bit more under the wall.

An exasperated yell came from the third top hero, only for him to be cut off when an attack aimed at his stomach caused his blood to gurgle and burst out of him.

We hid ourselves immediately after that sight, turning our backs to the broken wall behind us, trying desperately to hide our anxious breathing.

I didn't dare make a noise.

Wha...Who in the heck...was that?

We had to run.
But it felt like a single footstep would be enough for that man to hear and kill us.

As I quivered and tried to swallow my panic, I heard the sound of liquid and hoarse coughing.
"Damn it...the heck...?!"

Bakugo?!

"Sorry, Bakugo." I assumed the scary man spoke.
The sound of the same liquid appeared over and over, followed by voices I didn't recognize.

"Master..." A quiet but gruff voice murmured.

That man in black clothes was a leader.

"You failed again, huh, Tomura? But do not be discouraged, just try again. I have brought your associates back as well. Even this child. Because you judged that he was an important piece. Do it over as many times as you need to. That is why I'm here. It's all for you."

It came to me, the villains that had abducted Bakugo were here. I put my hand over my mouth to suppress my voice from making any sound.
Bakugo was right there. He's right there but the pro heroes are defeated.

Thoughts popped into my head too quickly.

Did they want Bakugo to become a villain?
What if Shigaraki decides that Bakugo's the wrong "piece" and orders him to be brutally killed so he couldn't report their appearance to the police?
What if Bakugo was forced to become a villain through fear?
We'll die if we get up from this wall. We can't save him, even if he's right there. He'll only see us die.

The sound of my heart palpitating got louder by the moment.

Run, run. We had to RUN.

Yaoyorozu was holding onto my sleeve, her grip tightened when Iida moved to stop Midoriya from moving whatsoever.
My head spun and made me suck in a sharp breath. It felt like everything was happening in a matter of seconds.

The leader of the villains spoke, "You're here, after all, aren't you...?"

My foot planted and was ready to twist until I realized we weren't being attacked at all.

"I'LL HAVE YOU RETURN EVERYTHING, ALL FOR ONE!" A voice comforting to hear yelled.

ALL MIGHT!

More happened in less than a couple of seconds.
All Might was blown away, then he returned, the villains were escaping, but the one with the mask suddenly yelled "Get your piece!"

Mr. Tsukauchi's words replayed in my mind at that moment.
"But if this were a different situation and you fought deliberately, then that would lead to charges."

...We're not allowed to fight.

"Iida! Everyone!" Midoriya suddenly called out, luckily quiet enough not to be heard by the villains.
"You can't, Midoriya!" Iida said, firmly.
"No, there's a way! A way that won't involve fighting that will let us leave this place, but still, save Kacchan!"

Iida eased and we all looked toward Midoriya for an explanation.
"Let's hear it," Todoroki started.
"But this plan also depends on Kacchan... I don't think my plan will succeed if I do it. That's why, Kirishima, Kanami, you're the key to increasing the success rate!"
