SHOUTO'S POV

"Watch my back." Aizawa ordered as we turned another corner. The base was like a maze; all we seemed to be doing is exploring different hallways, travelling deeper and deeper into the enemy's lair. Every once in awhile, we would come across a guard, but for a highly-evolved organization that is most likely linked with the League of Villains, security seemed lazy. I think Aizawa was thinking the same thing.

"Hold it." He shot his arm out in front of me. I peeked around the corner and saw two men surrounded by weird tech and about ten guards. One of the men looked like a scientist and the other had a formal suit on with his black hair slicked back. We could hear their conversation.

"The U.A students have been taken to her ce—I mean, room, sir." informed the suited one. The scientist looked at him with confusion. "Only students? What about the teacher?"

"Apparently, he wasn't there, or the sensors would've picked him up." The suited man said and paused. "They also only picked up four of the five students." The scientist rubbed at his hair furiously. "What the hell? I don't care as much of the student as much of the teacher. He was going to be the grand finale! Damn that Eraserhead!"

At the mention of Eraserhead, Aizawa tensed up.

"I guess it can't be helped." The scientist sighed profusely. "Well, I might as well see the results. Lead the way to her room." Everyone in the area headed our way and we quickly ducked inside a nearby vent. Once they were gone, we stepped out. When I looked up to Aizawa for our next move, he had a puzzled gaze on his face.

"Why in the hell would they kidnap U.A students?...they already have Asuna." he muttered to himself. I chimed in, "If I'm not mistaken, I believe your the teacher they're wanting." Aizawa nodded and patted my shoulder. "We're following them. They're going to lead us right to her and the other hostages." I nodded and we carefully made our way backwards after the two men.

THIRD PERSON'S POV

Bakugo woke up with a splitting headache. The first thing he noticed was staring right up at Asuna's face. Her purple and blue eyes brightened up like never before and jumped up from her knees, dropping his head on the hard floor. As his hands shot up to his head, Asuna embraced him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"You have no idea how happy I am to see you awake!" She pressed her body against his chest causing him to fall back on his hands. Heat rose all the way to Bakugo's ears. Before anything else could happen, he removed her arms from around his neck and averted his eyes. "What are you trying to do, Air-Head?" he grunted. "Strangle me?" Asuna's smile twisted into a pout. "Well, then, it's nice to see you safe, too, Boom-Mike."

"Stop calling me—"

"Kacchan, you're awake!" Midoriya dropped to his knees next to Bakugo with a huge relieved smile on his face. "What the hell, Deku? You had to go get yourself captured, you dumb ass?"

"Look who's talking, Bakugo." Kirishima knelt down next to Asuna and grinned. "Though I can't either!"

Bakugo tried to stand up, but suddenly his vision went blurry and almost fell back down if it hadn't been for Kirishima, who supported his side. "Hold on, man, we were injected with this chemical that cancels our quirks, so you're going to feel weak from the loss of energy." Bakugo groaned and got a good look around. The room they were in was small and had a bunch of girly posters and toys scattered everywhere. There was a twin-sized bed with a pink comforter that was meant for someone in elementary school. Asuna noticed his wrinkled nose and sighed. "Look, the last time I slept in this room, I was ten years old. I guess my 'loving' father didn't bother to change the decor before he decided to kidnap me."

"You mean? We're—"

Asuna nodded and spread her arms out. "Yep, welcome to my old bedroom, or as I like to call it, my prison cell."

"And your father..."

Asuna nodded again, and as if on cue, the only door in the room swung open. In walked Nikolai and his right-handed man, though Asuna had never got his name. Nikolai clapped his hands together. "I see you are all awake and getting along nicely. Wasn't it kind of me to give you your friends to keep you company, Daughter?"

"Go jump off a bridge." Asuna spat and Bakugo smirked at her comeback.

Nikolai tsked his tongue and wagged a finger at her. "That's not how you speak to your father, young lady."

"Father, my ass." Uraraka spoke up. Bakugo had just realized she was here, too. His eyes widened as he watched the girl stand up in front of Asuna, as if to protect her. "What kind of father would lock his daughter up and experiment on her? Yeah, Asuna told us everything. You are no father. You are a villain. You are scum!"

Despite being called out and insulted, Nikolai smiled. "Ooo, you're a feisty one." He waved his hand and all of the sudden, the room was filled with guards, holding everyone back except Uraraka, who was taken by the suited man.

"No! Leave her alone!" Midoriya shouted.

"Stop it! Stop it!" Asuna and Kirishima yelled.

Bakugo just watched, struggling helplessly, as the villains took Uraraka away, screaming and kicking. Then, she was gone. The four students left in the room were speechless. Bakugo grabbed Asuna's trembling shoulders. "What are they going to do to her?!" When she didn't answer, he shook her. "What are they going to do?!"

"I don't know!" She screamed, and started to cry. "Damn it, Katsuki, I don't know..." After that, the four never spoke another word.

SHOUTO'S POV

"Let me go!" a familiar girl's voice echoed throughout the hallways, but it wasn't Asuna. Both Aizawa and I couldn't believe it when we peeked around the corner.

"How did they get Uraraka?" I questioned in a loud whisper. "Could she be one of the four students they captured?" I could see a slight panicked expression on Aizawa's face, and I couldn't blame him. Not only did they have Asuna trapped, along with now-three other students, but now they were taking Uraraka to some unknown location. Who knows if anyone else has been taken out...

"Teach, what do we do?" I asked for the plan. Aizawa gripped his scarf. "There's only one guard in front of the door Uraraka just came out of. If anything, that's where they're holding Asuna and the others. I want you to free them and get them out. I'm going after Uraraka. Once you arrive at the car, leave without me and Uraraka. I'll find another way to get back to the school." I nodded, but just as I was about to take action, Aizawa stopped me by pressing a hand on my chest.

"If anything happens to me..." He paused as if it was too painful to continue. I patted his arm. "I will." I said, and Aizawa understood and said, "Good luck."

"You, too,"
