A Deadly Secret (Izuku Midoriya x Reader)

Chapter 119: World Heroes' Mission (Part 6)

She dropped us next to Izuku, Rody, and Todoroki, who were congregating.

"The damn case, it's somehow connected to Humarize!" Bakugo revealed.

"What? Wait, are you certain about that?!" Izuku questioned.

"Yes," Todoroki confirmed. "The goal was to save both it and you two. We thought it'd be possible to get some useful intelligence."

The green haired boy gasped, before lunging and grabbing the case. "A compartment!"

Before trying to open it, the six of us hid behind a giant rock. We still haven't crossed the border yet, so Izuku and I are still considered criminals in this country. The compartment hid some kind of puzzle. None of us had even a clue of how to open it, and forcefully opening it could've damaged its contents. We were just lucky that Rody's dad had taught him how to open one when he was a kid.

Inside was a SD card and some purple thing. What is this?

-A Library in Klayd-

As soon as the green haired boy plugged the card into the machine, dozens of folders began to pop up.

"So many folders," Izuku frowned. "Where do we even start?"

"Move it!" Bakugo shoved him to the side. "Where's the most recent timestamp? It's this video file!"

He clicked on a folder, making an audio file pop up on the screen.

"Look at my pookie, being so smart," the white-haired girl teased.

"Woman, I'll kill you!" He barked.

The voice in the recording was a man's voice. I'd estimate he's in his forties or fifties. "Hello. My name's Alan Kay. Along with several other scientists, I was kidnapped by Humarize. In order to enact their plans, Humarize took our families hostage and forced us to manufacture quirk factor triggering bombs against our wills. The first terrorist attack using one of these devices was nearly a ploy to gather the world's top heroes in branches where these bombs were located. This group is planning to use these horrible bombs to eradicate those pros. In an instant the hero's population will be decimated. After losing its top heroes, society will collapse. Using the vacuum afterward, Humarize will wipe out everyone with powers and make the quirkless rule the world. That is the true goal of Flect Turn, the leader of Humarize. I hope my voice will reach the heroes in time. Eddy Soul, another scientist here, lost his life helping me. He made the key I've included to help disarm their base. Please, save the world."

Izuku picked up the purple key, examining it.

"Ahhh!" A blonde lady screamed, as people began to run past us.

What's their deal?

The only thing not screaming was the news, which played on the TV behind us. "I repeat: Humarize, an organization advocating for the salvation of humanity, has placed bombs around the world. These bombs are set to explode in an hour and fifty-two minutes, unless heroes are able to find and disarm them worldwide. As you might expect, panic gripped the areas where devices are said to be located."

Todoroki rushed back over to the computer. "We should send this to HQ and tell them to retreat before-"

"We can't do that!" I shouted.

"The heroes are out there looking for the trigger bombs," Izuku huffed. "Even if they're the actual targets of the terrorist attacks, even if they know it's a trap, as long as there's people who need help, the pros will never leave them and run away. That's what makes them heroes." He tightened his fist. "Humarize counted on this when they thought of their plan."

Todoroki gritted his teeth. "Then we use that disarming key to stop those bombs."

"But how do we do that?" Katsumi sighed, placing her hands on her hips. "We don't even know where to look."

"On it!" Bakugo ran to the computer, shoving the half and half boy to the side. Bro needs to chill. "The answer has to be in here somewhere!" He began to click on who knows what. "You're an idiot to make a key and not tell anyone where the lock is." Two maps on the screen appeared, before merging into one. "We look for the place that wasn't a part of their announcement." A yellow square appeared on an island not too far from Otheon. "This is where their base is."

"Kacchan, can you find where the bomb controls are?"

"Let me work, you damn nerd!"

The screen moved to the bottom of the virtual building. That's one hell of a descent. "The furthest area underground."

"So, we know where it is, but it's more than 400 kilometers away from where we are," Todoroki pointed out.

"We can make it." After an eternity of being quiet, Rody spoke up. "I think I know how to get us there."

-The Nearest Airport-

    I am praying that Rody knows what he's doing. The brunette was flying a rented airplane, while we all changed into our hero costumes. The guys were facing one side, while Katsumi and I faced the other, but it was still weird, knowing that we were getting changed in the same area as them. It's a good thing Mineta isn't here, even though he has some self-restraint now.

    I sighed, as I pulled up my thigh high boots. "Man, I wish we could've worn our black costumes. We looked extra cool in those."

    "Tell me about it!" Katsumi groaned as she pulled her gloves on. "Why are they only for 'stealth' missions? I wanna wear it again!"

    "That's it, the base!" Rody gasped from the pilot's seat. The mouth of a well-hidden cave came into view. This is Humarize's base. "We're landing, brace yourselves."

    "No!" Izuku countered, opening the door. "Rody, you turn back."

    "Extras like you should stay outta the way!" Bakugo huffed.

    "He has a point," Shoto agreed.

    "We're just cool like that," Katsumi smirked.

    "Don't worry, we'll be alright," I smiled.

    One by one, everyone jumped out, soon leaving just Rody and I on the plane. As I was about to jump, I was met by a sharp sting on my cheek. Stumbling back, I grabbed the handle of the door.

    "Rody, we need to land!"

    "What?! Deku just said to turn back!"

    "That'll be hard to do when the archer bitch is still kicking! She's shooting at us!"

    Loud bangs came from outside of the metal contraption.

    "Shit! Shit! Shit!" The brunette grumbled, as the plane tilted downwards. "We're going down! I thought she killed herself!"

    "Seems like she survived." I ran to the cockpit, gripping onto the back of my new friend's seat. My eyes immediately landed on a grove of trees near the cave. "Try to crash in those trees. Maybe it'll soften the blow of the fall and create some distance between us and the archer."

    "Is now a bad time to tell you I don't know how to land this thing?"

    "Well, figure it out!"
