After Midoriya went to inform All Might of their decision, all of them rushed out of the lounge, climbing the large stairs. By the time they reached the 30th floor, Melissa revealed that the tower had 170 more floors to offer before they could even dream to see the security system.

" We have to climb that much?!" Mineta almost started bawling then and there.

" You've seen just how tall this building is." Whisper pointed.

" If only I could get outside." Sora looked at the wall as though it would collapse and let her out.

" That would be risky. Plus, it will take a toll on you to reach that height." Pointed Yuu. " We shouldn't be wasting time here." Pushing through the fatigue and lassitude, they climbed as far as the 80th floor before they were dithered by a shutter. As they were considering with to break it or not. Mineta made the mistake of opening the door.

" What did you do!" Whisper for once lashed out at someone other than Yuu. " Now the villains are sure to find out about us!"

" The damage is already done," Yuu said as he struggled to keep Whisper from chewing on Mineta and spitting him out. " We better hurry up before they get a chance at attacking us."

" Then no use tarrying here!" Todoroki stated as he ran past the door. The rest of them caught up, tearing down the hallway surrounding the floor. Sora felt the hair on the back of her neck prickling up and she started looking around. True to her feelings, security cameras were fixed on them.

" What's the matter, Shirogane?" Todoroki snapped when he noticed the girl's feverish looks.

" Don't bother. Hurry up guys!" She said speeding up her pace. Melissa mentioned the second stairs, but as soon as the words left her mouth, all shutters were snapped closed. Todoroki jammed his ice into the last one to keep it open while Iida used his engine to kick open the door to the floor lounge.

" Let's cross inside here!" Iida becked them inside. They ran across the plant factory, hoping to reach the stairs when Jiro spotted the lift climbing up. When Midoriya suggested hiding, Yuu pointed to a spot behind some bushes. It was well hidden and allowed them to watch the elevator. Two people stepped out, a tall man and a squat one. Judging by their clothes, they were the same villains from downstairs.

The footsteps echoed and got louder. The students ducked lower, holding their breath and begging that those two would go away.

" I've found you, you damn kids!" Hearing that, Yuu thought they were done for. But the voice that came after that was the last thing they expected.

" Huh? What did you say, you bastard?"

" Bakugo-san!?" Yuu risked peeking about the hedges to see both Bakugo and Kirishima facing against the villains.

" Why are those two here? I thought they didn't make it in time?" Asked Sora in bewilderment.

" Beat me!" Shouted Whisper as he craned his body to get a better glimpse of what was happening outside. " What are those two doing? Kirishima you idiot! Those are villains!"

Just as the taller one launched an attack at an oblivious Kirishima, Todoroki acted and pulled a shield of ice, but even that was hardly keeping. Todoroki then prioritized getting them away. He summoned forth a platform of ice and hauled them to the top of the metal bridges. " I'll be right behind you after I clean this up."

" Todoroki-san..."

" Get yourselves together soldiers!" Whisper yelled at them. " What matters now is to get to the security system, so we can save him and everyone else! Remember!"
