A Deadly Secret (Izuku Midoriya x Reader)

Chapter 55: Roaring Upheaval (Season 3, Episode 6)

Out of nowhere, a bunch of trees began to topple over. Something is coming our way.

    "Bakugo! Todoroki!" Shoji shouted, as he ran towards us. What is he carrying? "One of you. Give us some light!"

    A gigantic Dark Shadow pounced on top of the already restrained Moonfish. The dark must've caused him to go out of control.

    "Kacchan!" Izuku yelled from Shoji's back. Don't tell me he's already spent his body again.

    "Shoji and Midoriya." Todoroki noted, as he held an unconscious Class B student on his back. "And is that... Tokoyami?"

    "We need some light now!" Shoji reiterated. "He's out of control!"

    "I'll take him," I offered.

    "He's attacking blindly!" Todoroki handed me the boy, as we watched the two in front of us dodge the malevolent shadow. "I'll use my fire."

    "Not so fast," Bakugo interrupted.

    I started to question whether I shot him in the right place, because Moonfish began to move again. Love you Tokoyami, but did you have to free him, even if it was an accident? Dark Shadow ended up crushing the man's teeth and throwing him around, causing him to fall unconscious again. That was brutal. Bakugo handed Katsumi off to me (she could stand if she was leaning on someone), as he and Todoroki created the light needed to stop the beast.

    Tokoyami dropped to his knees, as Dark Shadow returned to normal. "Thanks. You saved me."

    "My friend." As Shoji approached Tokoyami, I could see that  Izuku was shirtless and had various wounds on his body. "Are you okay? You did what we needed you to."

    "Shoji, I apologize," the bird boy grimaced. "You, too, Midoriya. I'm still far too immature. Anger consumed me and I let my quirk take over. The influence of the darkness, combined with my fury, spurred Dark Shadow into a frenzy. Until... it got so strong, I couldn't contain it. And I ended up hurting Shoji."

    "We'll deal with that later," Shoji reasoned. "That's what you'd say if our roles were reversed."

"Okay." Izuku tiredly panted. "I don't know if you heard Mandalay, but I found out the villains are after Kacchan."

"Are they trying to kill him?" Tokoyami pondered. "Why?"

"I'm not sure," Izuku answered.

"I always knew he'd make it on someone's hit list," I joked.

"(Y/n)!" Katsumi elbowed my ribcage.

    "I think we should get to camp," the green haired boy suggested. "It's the safest place now, so long as Vlad King and Mr. Aizawa have regrouped there."

    "Yeah, and you need medical attention," I pointed out. "You, Shoji, and Katsumi."

    "So, our mission is to get Bakugo back to safety by serving as his protectors," Tokoyami reiterated.

    "It's possible the Pussycats are still fighting in the clearing," Izuku explained. "Going that way would draw the attention of the villains. Plus, it's longer. We should cut straight across."

    "We don't know how many enemies there are," Katsumi thought out loud. "We might come across some by chance."

    "We can use Shoji's search ability," the green haired boy reasoned. "And Todoroki's freezing power, (Y/n)'s blood ropes, and, if Tokoyami's okay with it, we can always use Dark Shadow now that we can actually control him. Honestly, with a group like this, we could probably even go up against All Might."

    "I don't know about that," I sweat dropped. Sure, we had some of the most powerful people in our class, but half of them were injured. Todoroki had to carry the Class B student and Shoji had to carry Izuku. On top of that, I had to keep a close eye on Katsumi, since I didn't know if she was concussed or not.

    "I'd be fine by myself!" Bakugo roared.

    "Sure, you would, hon," Katsumi sarcastically giggled.

    "We'll surround you as we walk," Todoroki suggested.

    "I don't need any of your protection, damn it!"

    "Let's go."

    We began to walk with Shoji, Izuku, and Todoroki in the front, Katsumi and I on the sides, Bakugo in the middle, and Tokoyami in the rear. The blonde kept complaining, but we just tuned him out.

My head was beginning to spin again. My injuries are healed now, but I lost a lot of blood just from repairing my body. There's no telling how much longer I can stay conscious for, let alone fight, without a transfusion or time to rest.

Soon enough, we found the group that was in front of Bakugo and Todoroki's... and Toga.

    "Ochaco!" I shouted once I spotted her. The Toga girl from earlier was sucking the blood out of her, like she did to me, while Tsu was stuck to the tree.

    "Quickly guys!" Tsu shouted. "Help her!"

    The psychotic blonde jumped away, realizing that she didn't stand a chance against nine of us.

    "There's too many people here and I don't feel like being killed tonight. Toodles." Toga stopped in her tracks, her eyes landing on... Izuku?! She then turned around and ran back into the forest.

    "Get her!" The brunette shouted in anger.

    "Stay down, Ochaco." I held onto her arms alongside Tsu and Katsumi. "That was the girl who almost took down me and Katsumi. She's too dangerous to take on now."

    "That bitch bonked me with a tree!"

    "She's right," Tsu added. "We have no idea what kind of quirk she has."

    "Who was that girl just now?" Todoroki and the others ran over to us four girls.

    "One of the villains," the green haired girl answered. "She was crazy."

    "Uraraka, you're hurt!" Izuku noted, pointing out her slashed arm.

    "It's not bad. I can still walk okay," she admitted. "You're the one who looks terrible!"

    "We're wasting time chatting here," I huffed. "It's only a matter of time before we run into another villain."

    "Join our group," Izuku offered. "We're protecting Kacchan and making our way back to camp. We could use your help."

    Tsu shot us a confused glance. "If you're protecting Bakugo, then, shouldn't he be standing here with you guys?"

    You're joking. Turning around, I saw that neither Tokoyami nor Bakugo was there. Son of a bitch.

    "Huh, what are you talking about?" My boyfriend smiled. "He's right over here, behind u-"

    "Nice trick, eh?" A new voice came from the top of the trees. He wore a top hat, yellow trench coat, and a white mask. "I took the lad you're talking about with my magic." In his hands were two teal marbles that he tossed. They're in the marbles? "A talent like his would be squandered were he's cast as a hero. We'll provide him with a grander stage where he can truly shine."

    "Give him back!" Izuku and Katsumi growled.

    "Give him back?" The villain questioned. "What an odd thing to say. Bakugo doesn't belong to anyone. He's his own person. Don't be so arrogant.

    "We'll stop you!" The green haired boy shouted.

    "Right now!" Todoroki sent out a barrage of ice, which the magician guy avoided by jumping away.

    "Don't think we're letting you get away!" My blood vessels shot out from the tip of my finger in an attempt to catch the villain.

As soon as I did that, I felt a sharp pain in my head, which also caused my rope to splatter onto the floor. I had been ignoring it for a while, but my vision was starting to go fuzzy once we stopped running. Damnit, why does this always happen in the middle of the fight?
