Bakugou’s POV
Two months had passed since the announcement of their internships, and now the students stood at the foot of the mountains, preparing to enter Jaku City. As he scanned the gathered crowd, irritation bubbled within him. Why were they all here? He didn’t have time for this nonsense.
Burnin strode forward, her expression serious. “Listen up!” she barked. “We’re evacuating the residents of Jaku City. The Heroes are stationed at the mountains, ready for anything. You all need to get moving!”
Her commanding voice cut through the tension, and with a nod, Bakugou felt adrenaline kick in. This was what they had trained for—time to put his skills to the test.
“Let’s go!” he shouted, leading the charge deeper into the city, barking orders at civilians to get to safety.
Kirishima’s POV
Meanwhile, Kirishima was back at the mountain villa with the backup team, anxiously awaiting news of the fighting. The air was thick with tension, his dragon instincts thrumming beneath the surface. He could feel the restlessness in his bones, a powerful urge to spring into action and protect those he cared about—especially Katsuki.
“Jirou, what do you hear?” he asked, forcing himself to focus, but his instincts kept pulling him toward the danger. The yearning to join the fray, to unleash his Quirk, was almost overwhelming.
Jirou closed her eyes, channeling her Quirk. “I can feel movement. The enemy is on the move,” she said, her tone serious.
A nearby Hero stepped forward, addressing the group. “This operation has brought Heroes together on an unprecedented scale, but don’t let your guard down. We need everyone here to help with the massive threat approaching.”
Worry gnawed at Kirishima, particularly for Katsuki. “I hope he’s okay,” he murmured, biting his lip as the dragon within him stirred, sensing the chaos even from afar.
Jirou nodded, though her expression was conflicted. “I’m not too worried about Tokoyami, but I’m more concerned for Kaminari,” she admitted. Yaoyorozu, standing beside them, placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. “He’ll be fine,” she reassured Jirou, and Kirishima wished he could share that same certainty.
Bakugou’s POV
Burnin shouted at the civilians, urging anyone who couldn’t move to let them know. “If you’re unable to get out on your own, we’ll help you!” she yelled, and the tension in the air thickened. Bakugou grabbed a group of citizens, directing them to the nearest shuttles.
“Move it! Take the shuttles out of the city!” he barked, but one of the civilians shoved a chocolate bun into his hands as thanks.
“What the hell?” he growled, throwing it back at them. “I don’t need your stupid food!”
Ochaco and Tsuyu began arguing with him about it, while Tenya reassured another civilian panicking about a manuscript. “We’ll protect it!” he insisted. Koji was already evacuating animals, a dove landing on his shoulder. “Fifth ward’s clear,” he reported, and Bakugou felt a slight relief.
“Keep checking every building!” he ordered, trying to maintain some semblance of control. They couldn’t afford to leave anyone behind.
But amid the chaos, he caught sight of Deku clutching his stomach, irritation flaring within him. “Quit slacking off, you nerd!” he shouted, though deep down, he sensed something was off.
Kirishima’s POV
Kirishima remained fixated on the screens, anxious to catch a glimpse of what was happening in Jaku City. His heart raced, and his dragon instincts were on high alert, sensing the danger from miles away. “What’s taking so long?” he whispered, urgency thrumming through his veins.
“Focus, Kirishima! We need to stay alert,” Jirou reminded him, her voice cutting through his spiraling thoughts.
Just then, he saw Midoriya tense up, his body rigid. “What’s happening?” Kirishima asked, worry gnawing at his insides.
A primal urge to fly to Katsuki’s side and protect him surged within Kirishima. He clenched his fists, feeling the heat of his dragon form simmering just below the surface. “I can’t just sit here,” he muttered, wrestling with the desire to charge into battle.
Bakugou’s POV
As the evacuation continued, Bakugou spotted Deku standing frozen, clutching his stomach. “Deku!” he yelled, but it was too late. The decay began spreading, panic erupting around them.
“Everyone, run!” he shouted, charging forward to grab civilians and usher them to safety. “Get moving!”
Deku suddenly powered up, unleashing 45% of One For All in a new Ultimate Move: St. Louis Air Force Smash. The shockwave erupted, but it wasn’t enough to stop the decay. Bakugou’s stomach dropped as he realized the full scope of what was happening.
“Damn it! We need to fall back!” he yelled, urgency flooding his voice.
Shoto attempted to erect a Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall, but it crumbled easily. “Burnin! We need to get everyone out!” he cried.
Kirishima’s POV
Back at the mountain villa, Kirishima watched in horror as the chaos unfolded on the screens. “What’s happening?” he whispered, his heart pounding as his instincts screamed for action.
“We need to be ready,” Jirou said, her expression fierce. “If they can’t hold it, we might have to go down there ourselves.”
Kirishima could no longer stand the waiting. “We have to help them!” he declared, the warmth of his dragon energy surging through him. His Quirk ignited, and he felt the power building inside.
“Let’s move!” he shouted, determination fueling him. He couldn’t let Katsuki face this alone.
