Triple Nightmare /Bakudekutodo

Chapter 69: A banging noise!

Bakugo POV:
I had no clue how much time had passed. The pattern on the wallpaper was starting to look weirder the longer I starred at it. It made me feel dizzy. I quickly looked away. The camera was still just as wet as before. Barely any time must have passed. I sighed. Maybe I should take a nap while I have the time to. It's not like we had a lot of moments as calm as this one recently. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Hopefully I would be able to find the others soon.

Todoroki POV:
I stoped thinking. One jump after the other. Ignored the pain and exhaustion. And then suddenly my head pumped against the ceiling. At first I didn't understand. Then it made click. "I made it!" I laughed out of relieve. The only question left: What now? I leaned my back against one of the walls and secured both legs on the other. I was basically sitting in air. I used my now red arms to press against the metal plate above my head. It slightly moved. That must've meant that it could be opened. Something was blocking it though. I started hammering against it in hopes someone could hear me. "Hello?!" I shouted. Above me everything was silent. No footsteps, no one talking, nothing. Shit. My body was too tired to be able to hold out long at this rate. It took me so long to get here. I had to make it out somehow. I tried pressing against it harder. But the harder I pressed the less secure was my position. I was too scared of slipping again. I banged at it again. "Is someone there?!" It was hopeless. My legs started cramping. I started getting hectic. "Please, someone!" My palms hurt from banging against the metal. I tried to think of something but knew there was no solution. At this point maybe I should give up and try my luck on the corridor bellow me. I hit against the ceiling one last time.

Bakugo POV:
I only nodded off for a second when I opened my eyes again. I couldn't sleep. I was exhausted and my eyes barely stayed open but my mind was as awake as ever. I hate to admit it but I was worried. Worried about future threats, the present threat, getting out of here and naturally about IcyHot and Deku. Haven't been doing anything else as of recently. It's exhausting to care. I sighed. My eyes fell shut once more. Then suddenly I heard a noise. I ignored it. There it was again. It sounded as if someone banged against the wall behind the one I was leaning against. Whatever. Then again and this time loud enough for my eyes to open. A muffled other noise caught my attention. Is that someone shouting? I sat up straight, pressed my right ear against the wall and listened. I could hear it clearly now: Someone was calling for help. But they weren't banging against this wall. They must've been trapped in the room next to me somehow. How would I get there? I got up. Looked aground. Which way do I go? Wait the Direktion I just came from had a path to the right. Maybe that's the way over there. I started running down the hallway. It felt as though I had to go way too far. Was this not the right way after all? There it is! I took a sharp corner. Thank god, it did lead into the corridor next to me. I couldn't hear a single noise anymore as I quickly made my way back on the other side of the wall. How far would I have to go? I halted in order to be able to listen more carefully. There it was! A single loud hit in front of me. But there was nothing there. I took a few steps then looked around. Nothing. "Hello?" I asked. "Did I just run all this way for nothing?!" I got pissed. Was my mind playing tricks on me. I angrily stomped my foot on the floor. But instead of the noise from one stomp a bunch followed as if there was an echo. No, it was to irregular. I took a step back and kneeled on the floor. As I inspected it more carefully I could see a slit. A trap door? With each bang it lifted a little bit. I hectically looked around. I needed some tool to be able to lift it. Something thin enough to fit in the gap but stable enough to be able to actually open it. I searched my pockets. Nothing I could use. Suddenly I had an idea! My pocketknife! Shit, I used it to dissasamble the camera. I left both on the other side of the corridor. I'm such an idiot! "Hey extra! I'm gonna get something to open this door! Stay put!" I shouted then left without hearing their answer.

Todoroki POV:
I was ready to give up as I suddenly heard a loud noise above me. Without hesitation I started pounding against the ceiling again without stopping. Above me it went silent again. Then someone talking. It was to muffled I couldn't understand. I stoped the noise in hopes they would repeat what they said. A few seconds later it started muffelig again. This time I was able to understand a single word: extra. Then I heard fast footsteps leading further and further away. Is that Bakugo?!
