Their Story | Todobaku

His Rescue

No one dared to say a word. They were just looking around in shock. There were hundreds of people in tubs filled with water, connected to machines, wires and tubes sticking out of their bodies.
It was as if this scene was cut out right of an unrealistic movie. How was it possible for the villains to do all of this without the heroes noticing? Right it wasn't a villain, it was his father. Todoroki slowly went closer to one of the tubs.
The human, at least he was hoping the person was still human, was pale. He looked almost dead and if he wouldn't have see the heartbeat on the screen besides the tub, he would have assumed he was dead.
The parts were the wires came out of the person were bruised. The dark purple bruises looked even worse on the pale skin. The person was a man and only wore something that looked like shorts, his eyes were closed and also had dark lilac circles under them. His arms and legs were strapped to something he couldn't properly see. Looking back up to the face of the man he notices that he's also bald and most of the wires are attached to his head.
The man looks like he is sleeping but is not having a peaceful sleep. He doesn't look like he's in pain but he looks like he's having a nightmare or something. That poor man. How long has been here?
Todoroki shakes his head and turns around to the others again. They need to focus. The others also stepped closer to the tubs and investigated them.

"What the hell is this?"

Kirishima said looking away from the tub and back to Todoroki.

"I have no clue... This is awful but we need to focus, right? We need to find bakugou and the heroes will do the rest. They will safe all of this people because that's what heroes do, saving people."

By now all of them turned around and we're looking at Bakugou. Kaminari and Kirishima nodded in agreement. Iida and Midoriya looked still a little unsure but in the end lida nodded too. Midoriya looked like he was really struggling right now with the decision of what to do.

"B-but aren't we heroes too? Shouldn't w-we save them?"

He was right and Todoroki knew that but they couldn't. There were just so many reasons why they weren't able to safe all this people. He looked back to the tub and spoke again.

"I know Midoriya... but look at all the machines and wires and stuff. What if we kill them? We don't know if they are still able to live without all of... whatever machine that is. We should focus on the one thing we can do and that is saving Bakugou."

Was that true? Were they really able to do that? What if Bakugou was also connected to one of those machines? What if he was dead already? He felt his heart getting heavy, sadness coming up and setting in his throat so he couldn't breath. No he was still alive. He could fee it and he is going to save him. Midoriya nodded. Okay good but what now? They had two options. Left or right.

"We will split. Kirishima you come with me this way and you three go the other way. If there is any kind of danger we'll hide or go back. Don't attack. Got that?"

All of them nodded. Hopefully nothing bad happens. Before they parted Kirishima spoke up again.

"Good luck and I want to see all of you in one piece walking out of here, got that?"

A small chuckle escaped Kirishimas lips and the others also smiled lightly. Everyone turned around and they went different ways but all had the same goal: rescue Bakugou.

It was scary walking around here. There were literally no noises except for their footsteps, the light wasn't really bright and all of them didn't know what would happen. They walked for only a few minutes until they got into a big room with lots of computers, buttons and a lot of other technical stuff.

"What is all of this ?"

Kirishima said whilst walking towards the control board. Todoroki looked around and found some files and another room. The room was locked but they would probably get in there later. He took some of the files and placed them on the table. Todoroki opened the first one and saw a small photo in the left corner as well as a lot of text. It kind of looked like a profile for a criminal or something. He started reading and the first page was only filled with personal informations, when he got here and how. The second one was titled with a date and looked like a report of a doctor. They described how they checked his body and his health before injecting him something to make him unconscious and then put him in one of those tubs. They were awfully detailed and Todoroki already regretted looking in these files but he still kept reading.
The next pages were just some checkups on how he was doing before they injected him the "Duaclinol" whatever that means.
These man seemed to not do well after they injected him this.
The next few pages only described how he got worse and worse until he came to the page where his death was written down.
Todorokis heart felt so heavy again and a knot started to form in his throat.
This was his father. How could he have not noticed a thing? How could he have been so dumb and blind? Maybe he could have saved these poor people. Maybe he could have stopped his father earlier. He was brought back to reality by a noise and Todoroki immediately looked to Kirishima. Said person was looking at him in shock.
