Shoto-
"RAH!!!" Oshta'auk shouted, and the Raiders charged in as a fight broke out between the Royal Dynasty and The Raiders began.
Pherrah and her men left the injured and ran after Oshta'auk. Soon, everyone was fighting.
"Where did that come from!?" Yo asked.
"No clue." I said.
"It doesn't matter now, we have to deal with it!" Jade shouted, and we all joined in the fight with Kana and Tianzo as well as their people following our lead.

Kirishima-
I saw Aoyama holding a smoking gun. "It was you!" I shouted, and they looked.
"Aoyama!?" Awase asked.
"What the hell is he doing here!?" Sero asked.
"Well done my son!" Akuma yelled, as he and Shoto fought.
"Of course." Aoyama said.
"I'll deal with you in a minute! I have to help them right now!" I shouted.
"Nah-ah Kirishima. You have to prove to me where your loyalties lie. I will only take you and your group to The City Ablaze if you prove to me that you have no ill intentions towards His Excellency Akuma and My King Enji." Aoyama said.
"Kirishima, what's he talking about!?" Shoto asked, kicking Akuma back.
Akuma laughed, wiping blood from his mouth. "It seems you have a rat problem, Captain. That's what happens when you're too weak!" Akuma sneered.
"Prove your loyalty." Aoyama said.
"Kirishima...no." Jade said.
"I'm sorry Jade, you'll understand later." I said, and I shot and killed Oshta'auk.
Pherrah screamed as she ran to him. I pointing my gun at Kana next, but Luke shoved her down and I managed to hit his bicep. I pointed my gun at Cletus, and I killed him, Cassidy screamed out and ran to him.
"Stop this! Kirishima stop!! That's enough! This isn't you." Shoto said, shaking his head.
"You're too weak and naïve Shoto." I said, and I shot my gun at him.
"NO!" Sero shouted, shoving Shoto down and he took a bullet to his shoulder.
"Hanta!!!" Jade shouted, running to him and ripping off and tying her jacket sleeve in a tourniquet on his wound.
"Damnit Sero." I said, and I shot again Shoto again, this time it was Awase that took the bullet, and it struck through his lower left abdomen.
Jade rushed to him, ripped her sleeve, putting it in her pocket, and then she pushed her jacket into Awase's abdomen, he screamed out in pain, holding it.
"Just die damnit!" I shouted, but my hands shook and I fired, striking Shoto, but I shot him in his right pectoral lobe.
He fell. "CAPTAIN!" Everyone shouted.
Jade ran to him. "Shoto!? Shoto!" She shouted.
He grunted as Jade fumbled her jacket sleeve and pushed it into his right pectoral lobe to stop the bleeding. "Stop this Kirishima!" Jade screamed, as I pointed my gun at Shoto again.
She stood in front of him, her arms outstretched. "Jade...no..." Shoto whispered, holding the wound, as he tried to grab her.
"I'm not moving." Jade said.
"Jade, get out of the way." I said.
"I won't!" Jade shouted. "If you want to kill him, you have to kill me." Jade said.
"Please don't make me do this, not to you." I begged.
"You chose this, so you reap the consequences." Jade said.
I put my gun down...I couldn't shoot her, not after all we had been through together on The Ark. She nodded and turned her back to me, kneeling down.

Shoto-
"Shoto! Shoto look at me, look." Jade said, holding my cheeks, and I looked at her.
"Jade..." I whispered.
"Shh, shh, shh. It's ok, you're ok. It's through and through and it missed anything vital. Just shh, shh." Jade said, as she grabbed her knife and heated it, pressing it into my gunshot wound.
My eyes shrank in pain as I screamed out bloody murder. She took the knife off of my wound, and it was cauterized.

Kirishima-
"Prove your loyalty." Aoyama said.
"I think I have!" I yelled.
"Not yet. Shoot her, and I'll consider it good." Aoyama said.
I lifted my gun and my hand shook as I pointed the gun at her head. "Shoot her!" Aoyama yelled.
"Forgive me." I whispered, and I closed my eyes and shot.

Shoto-
*Everything is in slow motion*
I heard the bullet fire and then...I heard her gasp, falling to the side, and then there was a thud as she hit the ground. "NOOOOOOOOO!!" I screamed, reacting slower than I wanted to, and holding her.
Kirishima walked over to her and knelt down. "I'm sorry Jade." He said, and he used his foot to strike her right knee, tackling her, she didn't even scream but every single one of us heard the violent pop as she rolled down the hill.
Kirishima looked at me as he, Tetsu, Bakugo, Midoroya, Alex, Kendo, Bri, and Ochaco vanished with Aoyama leading them.
I scrambled to my knees and slid to her. "JADE! JADE!!!!" I yelled.
"JADE!!!" I screamed, lifting her up, my hand on her back where she was shot. "Oh my Gods." I said.
"Everyone in!" A voice shouted, and the entirety of the Royal Dynasty camp vanished without a trace.
"JADE!" I yelled.
Hanta limped to me and gripped my shoulder. "I'm sorry." Hanta said, tears in his eyes.
"NO! NO SHE CAN'T BE—" I began, tearing up.
"It's a bullet wound to her spine Shoto...it's—" Yo began, tears in his eyes.
"I...ain't...dead yet...nnnggghhh...you assholes." Jade said, weakly, barely conscious and looking pale and sickly.
"JADE!" I exclaimed, and I lifted her into my arms bridal style.
"Everyone meet at Arcadia!" I shouted, and I took off running leaps and bounds with Hanta and Yo beside me.
We all got to the camp, panting and ran to the doctor's hut. "We got more incoming!" Hanta yelled, as we all filed into Arcadia and they closed the gates when everyone got inside.
"You're ok, you're ok." I said.
"Mmm hmm." Jade moaned, weakly, but she passed out.
"Jade!" TC shouted.
"Oh my God! You all got shot!" Luna yelled, as Isabella gasped.
"Please...please help her." I begged, crying.

Kirishima-
We headed towards a place where our wounds got treated with no questions asked and then we all headed towards The City Ablaze with Aoyama leading. I stared blankly, the whole group was silent. I just killed two people heads and injured more...Aoyama was laughing, but I was reeling with the consequences...and shooting Jade? Hurting her like I did? Why did I tear her ACL for no reason?

  Enji-
  We had escaped to the new camp. "I can't believe you let him kill Mort!" I yelled.
  "On the contrary Enji, he is just fine." Akuma said.
  "What?" I asked.
  Akuma took me to the new tower and a man in a cloak was sipping tea. "Hello, My King." He said, and he smiled darkly.
