No one left (UA civil war/Vigilante)

Chapter 76

No specified POV

Uraraka let out a strangled scream as Aoi was sucked into the warp hole with Compress and the other villains flanking his side to prevent his escape. Everyone else stands and stares in stunned silence before pure panic breaks out.

Aizawa paces back and forth furiously infront of the students trying to figure out what had happened.

"He said that they were after Bakugou," Shoto says. And Shoji continues, "So we all formed up around Bakugou, but now that I think about it we never questioned why he knew. We just trusted him in the moment but they never even made a move against Bakugou."

"They went straight for him." Uraraka says her eyes brimming with tears, "How did he know they were after Bakugou in the first place?"

Mandalay had to look away from the group of grieving students and busy her hands with helping Froppy down from Shoji's back and moving her to lay down on a makeshift cot Tiger had made. Pixie Bob left to search for the missing Ragdoll and she came back a couple minutes later with empty hands.

Aizawa tugs at his hair furiously before snapping at his students, "Help Mandalay and Tiger move Froppy back to the camp site. We'll meet up with Vlad King and see what we can learn."

Everyone shuffles to the injured Froppy's side and Pixie Bob alerts them that she'd fractured a couple of her ribs from the fall of the branch that had trapped her under it's waist. Shoji helps them lift and move her back through the forest. Several students who didn't have a chance to run back to the main encampment and had chosen to hide in the forest had decided to come back out and fight the fires still smoldering around in the forest. Kendo and Testutestu arrived ragged from some other place towing a cuffed villain and Aizawa orders everyone around before rushing back to the main facility.

There the doors open and Vlad King ushers everyone out of the room and once his gaze lands on Mandalay his face falls. She sees his facial expression and her worried feeling grows. All the students and kids were streaming out from the room they were trapped in to help the pros fight fires and clean up the mess, and none of them included a certain little boy with a horned hat.

"Where's Kota?" She asks her voice caught in her throat.

"Can you come with me?" Vlad King asks quietly. "All of the pros can you come. Aizawa can you pick a couple to organize everything and then come real quick?"

Aizawa nods and turns to pick out Momo and Iida to instruct his class and from Vlad King he tells Kendo to tell their class president whoever that was to organize everything. The students nods and they escort the stunned 1A students to sit down and rest.

The adults rush into the facility and Vlad King leads them to a room with a singular table that housed a figure on it and Mandalay broke out into a sob. Pixie Bob clutches her hand fiercely and Tiger looks choked with emotion.

"Is that?" Aizawa asks and Vlad King nods, moving to unwrap the body.

They see the body of the 6-year old Kota and Mandalay breaks into tears rushing to Kota's side to pat his face, Vlad King had cleared most of the blood off and Izuku had used some of his precious energy to right the body so that they wouldn't have to see the gruesome break of his neck.

"What happened?" Pixie Bob asks moving to clutch Kota's cold and limp hands.

Vlad King swallows, "I was waiting for all the kids to come like you all told me to. I had Aoi and Bakugou with me but Aoi looked distracted and his eyes were dazed before they cleared in a moments notice and he dashed out of the room. He was too fast for me to stop and he started running towards the mountain."
