It had been 2 hours since Izuku called the emergency services. In those 2 hours Izuku had been keeping Eri close to himself. He was ready to make a move as soon as any signal came to him. This signal ended up coming in the form of a call, from the emergency services number. He picked Eri up and held her close to his chest while holding the phone with his other hand.

"Hello?" Izuku asked.

"Redirecting call, please hold." The person on the other side of the call said.

Izuku was dazed for a second before another voice came up on a different number.
"Hello, this is Pro hero Sir Nighteye. We are surrounding the location given to us. Do you know how to exit the compound?"

"Oh umm... I haven't really exit the compound before... but you need to make it to a long bunch of stairs. I'm going to them but if you don't find me just keep going and turn right into a hallway. I have a 5 year old, her name is Eri." Izuku was using all his will just to speak this confidently. "But please be careful, I'm not fully sure on where Overhaul is, just make sure he doesn't touch you. You'll explode if you do."

"... very well..." Nighteye said "KEEP THE ABOVEGROUND AREA SAFE..." The call was ended. Izuku then put the phone in his pocket. He waited a bit before running out the room with Eri in his arms. His mind kept count. 1, 2, 3... stop. Go, 1, 2... Izuku was making sure to follow the counting precisely. For once he was grateful his mind kept count. He always saw it as a curse, intimately knowing every second that passed, and every moment he was strapped to a table as he was experimented on, to know how long ago he was given up. But now it was letting him help someone. So he was grateful. Soon enough he made it to the long stretch of a hallway he had told the heroes about. He was about to continue before a voice called to him.

"Where do you think you're going brat?" A cold voice asked.

Izuku turned, seeing Chisaki. He spoke with a newfound defiance that even he was shocked to hear. "Somewhere you won't hurt Eri." He raised his free arm, a blade coming out from his forearm.

"That's new. I was a fool to think you would stay obedient. Oh well I guess some pets have to be put down." He removed his gloves and placed a hand on the wall. The material deconstructing before reforming into spikes that travelled towards Izuku. Izuku was quick to move Eri in his arms around to avoid the spikes. A large one had impaled Izuku in the abdomen while another impaled his leg. Izuku quickly freed himself and made a mad dash down the hallway. His wounds healing quickly as a result of his unrestrained regeneration capabilities.

"GET BACK HERE!" Overhaul shouted. But soon the entire complex changed. The long hallway Izuku was running though soon began to mold itself. Everything turned dark for a few moments before he ended up in a large concrete cavern. His first thought was about the lack of weight in his arms. Eri was no longer in his grasp. He looked around, the overdriven emotion of anxiety allowing him to take in the view to its fullest.

He saw before him several people, all scattered around the cavern. He only recognised a few, Overhaul and The Eight bullets. He saw several people he could only assume were heroes and his gaze landed on Eri. In the middle of it all.


"Eraser, quick!" A hero shouted before he hurled a dense stamp at a small figure, a small figure wearing a plague doctor's mask.

"Right." Responded another hero with a black outfit and long messy black hair. He had yellow goggles with slits in them. If one could see past them they would see the red glow in his eyes being directed at the Shie Hassaikai's Eight Bullets and their leader.

"Dammit, he's erased our quirks. Rappa, get his eyes off of us." Overhaul commanded.

In the events unfolding, a man with neatly combed green hair in a light grey business suit wearing glasses soon made his way to Eri. He soon made it to her but at the same time, the quirk erasing hero had his gaze broken by Rappa. This and the fact that Overhaul was just a few steps away from Eri and the neatly dressed hero placed them in imminent danger.
