Eri's rescue part 1

The atmosphere outside the Chie Hassaikai compound was thick with tension. Sora stood among the group of students—Deku, Kirishima, Uraraka, and Asui—each one silent, their faces set with grim determination. Ahead of them stood Lemillion, leading the charge, his usual energetic smile now replaced by a sharp focus. Beside Sora was Aizawa, his gaze fixed on the compound's entrance.

Other pro heroes and police officers had already engaged the Chie Hassaikai members, a flurry of battle unfolding behind them. Fat Gum, Ryukyu, and others handled the initial confrontation with ease, creating the opening they needed. The students were part of a special team, tasked with getting inside as quickly as possible to secure Eri. The chaos behind them was a mere backdrop to the singular goal ahead.

- Let's go! - Lemillion's voice cut through the tense air, and without hesitation, he darted forward, phasing through any obstacles in his path.

Sora took off after him, her sharp eyes locked on the heavy metal doors of the compound. Beside her, Aizawa matched her pace, his usual cool demeanor never faltering. His scarf rippled in the wind as they moved, ready to activate his quirk at any moment.

The doors loomed closer, and for a brief second, Sora felt her heart race. This was it—the moment they'd been preparing for. She could feel the intensity in the air, each step bringing them closer to the unknown inside.

They ran together in a tight formation. Lemillion led, with Sora and Aizawa close behind, and Deku, Kirishima following. The sound of the heroes fighting behind them was distant, as though a barrier had gone up between the chaos of the battlefield and the quiet, terrifying unknown inside the compound.

- Stay focused,- Aizawa said, his voice calm but commanding. - Once we're in, we move quickly. Don't get distracted.-

Sora gave a curt nod, her face as expressionless as ever, though she could feel the rising tension coiling in her chest. This was no ordinary mission. The weight of it hung in the air, the lives they needed to save balancing precariously on their next moves.

The doors of the compound creaked open just as they reached them, thanks to Nighteye's careful planning. Lemillion phased through, slipping inside without a moment's hesitation. Sora and Aizawa followed immediately, slipping through the threshold into the heart of the Chie Hassaikai's stronghold.

Inside, the air was cooler, the dimly lit hallways stretching ahead like a labyrinth of shadows. Sora's eyes adjusted quickly, scanning for any immediate threats. Everything felt cold, almost sterile, as if the entire compound had been meticulously designed to trap and suppress.

- This is it, - Deku whispered from behind her, his voice filled with a mix of fear and determination.

Lemillion didn't slow his pace. His determination to rescue Eri was evident in every movement he made, his usual easygoing attitude replaced with fierce resolve.

- We keep moving. There's no time to waste.

Sora moved in sync with him, her mind racing. This was the moment she had been waiting for—the moment to put her training and resolve to the test. They were closer now to Eri than ever before, and the responsibility of getting her out safely weighed on her shoulders more than anyone knew. She had saved part of her quirk for this, something no one else knew about: she could teleport someone else along with her, but she had kept that ability hidden, knowing it would be crucial for Eri's escape.

As they advanced deeper into the compound, Sora's eyes flickered to Aizawa beside her. He was scanning their surroundings with laser-like focus, ready to erase any quirks that might threaten their mission.

But Aizawa's presence wasn't just for combat. She knew he was watching her, just as he always had, his distrust lingering in the air between them. His words from before echoed in her mind, the way he had confronted her about his lack of trust. It stung more than she'd let on, but right now, there was no room for personal grievances. They were here for one thing: Eri.
