"Ouch..." someone complained as they rubbed the back of their head.

The darkened room held four people. All of them confused.

Tsuki opened her eyes and got up, rubbing her sleepy eyes. The sleep had been dreamless, making her wonder what quirk that had been. She wanted a quirk like that... erasing quirks.

"Oh my god—" someone jumped away from her, purple gathering from their chest, spreading towards their arms.

"Calm down," Tsuki ordered as she got up, "I'm not gunna kill you."

"What the hell— is this prison? Why do we have a joined cell?"
Someone seemed to look around, their feet carefully scuffling around.
The floor was made of concrete. Tsuki got up and rubbed her hands off on her skirt, realising just how clean her hands were just then.

"This isn't prison," someone said and Tsuki glanced at them.

"Those eyes are creepy—"

"Shut up," Tsuki ordered, deciding to close her eyes as she walked a random direction.

"Did she just close her eyes?"

"Crap— now we can't see where she is..."

"Who even are you guys?"

"I think we've got a bigger concern, she's a villain."

There were three other people in the room, Tsuki knew. And all of them were behind her as she walked the seemingly endless room.
A thud sounded as a wall met Tsuki's head.

"...ouch"

"What was that?" Someone asked.

"A wall," Tsuki answered as she felt it with her hand. "This isn't a prison cell, the wall is made of metal."

"So we're in a giant dark metal box."

Tsuki opened her eyes, hoping to see at least a bit. She found a soft orange glow reflecting on the metal surface.

"Oh my god..." someone muttered loud enough for everyone to hear, "Those eyes are terrifying."

"Shut up," someone else spoke Tsuki's thoughts, "She's using it to find us an exit."

Indeed, Tsuki used he reflection to try and find something like a doorhandle.

"Everyone to a wall," someone suggested, "If I'm correct the ground is square."

"How do you know?"

"My quirk allows me to... well, a thing of my quirk lets me know what I'm standing on, or something."

"Aha."

"Sounds confusing, how's that work?"

"Guys, I found something," someone said from the other side from Tsuki.

She looked up automatically, finding a dark light radiating from the person who seemed to have found something.

A small click sounded and everyone looked up, finding light suddenly spilling from the ceiling. A lamp had turned on.

"No door in sight," someone sighed. The voice belonged to a girl who looked about Tsuki's age.

A boy with black hair glanced around a bit, a frown on his face.

Another boy, but with blonde messy hair, stared up for a moment.
"I think I found the exit..."

Tsuki looked up.
"Oh..." the door was in a hole in the ceiling, way up. No way they could reach that.

"Yeah, we're never getting out of here," the black haired kid said as he turned around and sat down, "I wonder who will die first."

"You guys will," Tsuki decided as her mind thought about it, "I would make sure I'd have enough food, which means killing you all one by one, starting with—"

"Shut up," the girl suddenly said. She reached inside her pocket and smiled when she found a hair tie. She used it to tie up her hair in a ponytail before she stretched her arms.
"Everyone gather underneath the door thing."

Tsuki hesitated.
"Everyone including me?"

"Just go," the blonde kid said as he rolled his eyes.

The girl nodded and Tsuki realised they might just all be villains like her... actually, it made much more sense. They weren't that scared of her.

The girl took a breath as she crouched down. Her hands pressed to the floor as she focused.
Then the ground underneath them rumbled and the four of them were lifted up towards the door.

"Once we're out of here, we should all part," the black haired kid said, "Find the exit, and we'll all pretend like it never happened, okay?"

"Sure," Tsuki said, but she remembered the words she heard before she miraculously fell asleep. 'Nezu's program'.
"But we're not out of here yet..."

"How do you mean?"

"We might get attacked while getting out of here, everyone be prepared."
The floor stopped moving and the blonde kid reached up to the door.
"Ready?"

The four of them prepared themselves for whatever waited up there. Though
Tsuki knew that if she was right.... Yeah they weren't getting out of here so easily.
