Hearts Of Stone

Kirishima

After a long 3 days of travel Bakugou finally made it into the dark empire of All for One. He stood before a tall unmaintained castle, its walls were covered in ivy and the structure was being wittled away by weather.

Bakugou let a snarky grin cross his lips. "What a dump." He said to himself.

He walked alongside the large structure searching for where the red creature was to be moved. Behind the castle walls a fleet of men were pulling a muzzled and bound dragon from underground out into the daylight. The blood red beast was a sight to behold. It stood as tall as a two story house and was as long as a ship. It's red body jutted out as if it were made of sharp stones. His horns grew back into the main like spikes and then pointed up to the sky, his right eye held a small scar and though his body and exterior seemed rugged those eyes were soft. Many men had to hold the restraints as the large monster tried to shake them loose.

Bakugou sat on the unstable stone wall analyzing the situation and listening to the finely dressed man below whose face was hidden in a cloud of smoke as he advised the men.

"Get more restraints on his tail. If he breaks free he'll destroy this whole complex." He reminded. "Get the iron muzzle on him as well. We don't need a repeat of the fire show from last weak."

The men tried to pull his rocky head down to put on the large muzzle over it, but the dragon fought back pulling his snout away as hard as he could. Just when they thought they were stuck in a never ending game of tug-o-war the ropes snapped. This gave Bakugou an opening, he leapt off the wall he had scaled and glided to the dragon slicing off the leather straps holding the iron muzzle in place. The Red Dragon opened his snout to reveal his white sharky teeth and let out a loud roar. The men began to panic calling out for back up.

"Free yourself and get out of here!" Bakugou called up at the dragon.

The crimson beast breathed fire onto the rope restraints on his body and lifted his massive wings. His tail freed and he swiped the men away like bowling pins. Bakugou began to fight the others hoping to fend them off long enough for the dragon to fly away. However the red stone creature hadn't listened to Bakugou. He stood over the Rogue and clawed the men away flicking them into the castle walls defending the blond. But as they fought more and more men appeared.

"Hey, what did I just Fucking say?!" Bakugou yelled at the dragon. "Get the hell out of here!"

The dragon scanned the crowd then quickly made the decision to pick up Bakugou by the Cape and toss him onto his stone back. Bakugou tried to stand ready to yell at the dragon but was knocked back down when the massive beast began to race to the wall. Bakugou held onto its stone spiked mane and looked to where he was heading.

"What the fuck was that you dumb ass dragon?!" He barked.

The dragon kept running and like a bulldozer he piled through the withered stone wall making it to freedom. Bakugou held on tight and the red creature ran as fast as it could towards the edge of the village. However waiting for them at the end was a large lake. When they finally reached it the dragon came to a halt sliding in the sand.

"What the hell are you doing? They're still after us! What did you take charge only to fuck up?!"

The Red Dragon paced at the edge of the water and whimpered.

"Wait. You can't fucking swim?!" Bakugou yelled.

Behind them All for Ones people were catching up. The blond growled in frustration striking the dragons back.

"You idiot now we're both dead!"

The dragon paced before beginning to back up crouching down on his haunches. He spread his wings and started to charge at the water. Bakugou held on tighter and in a not so elegant leap the dragon began to flap its wings sending them into the sky. It was quite aparant he hadn't flown in years because he struggled imensly with keeping straight and staying up very high. But eventually he began to get use to it once again. Bakugou stood up and looked back at the lake to see the men were forced to stop at its edge.

"See ya later dumb fucks!" He yelled. "Woohoo!"

**************************

When they cleared the lake the dragon had become too weak and was forced to land in a field. Bakugou got off and turned around only slightly amazed as he watched the red spikes go down into regular scales again. The dragon turned his head to him and rushed over licking his face and dancing around excitedly. As he did the ground shook and Bakugou struggled to keep his balance.

"Hey! Knock that shit off ya rock headed moron!" Bakugou snapped.

The dragon stopped and crouched down wagging his tail happily.

"Wait. Can you understand what I'm saying?" He asked.

The dragon nodded but then Bakugou threw a rock at him. The stone bounced off the dragon with no effect and he tilted his head to the side.

"Then why the shit didn't you get out of there when I told you too!"

The dragon stood back up nearing the blond then pointed his muzzle to him.

"I would have been fine you dumb dragon! I had a plan!"

The dragon flopped onto his butt and shook his head.

"Yes I fucking did! I had it all under control you shit head!" he snarled. "Why the hell would the king want a dumb dragon like you so badly?"

The dragon snorted and made a weird disagreeing noise.

"What?" Bakugou raised his arms. "I can't understand dragon!"

The Red beast sighed the brought his claw out drawing in the grass. When he was done he pointed at the markings and in the dirt it read. "Kirishima"

"You can write too? Why would they teach you that?! And what is this suppose to be anyways?!"

The dragon pointed to himself and Bakugou understood.

"Your name?" he asked.

Kirishima nodded.

"That's a stupid name." the Rogue crossed his arms and looked up at the red dragon. "I'm Bakugou. Not like it matters that you know since you can't say it. I'm taking you to the southern kingdom. Got it?!"

Kirishima nodded again and stood up readying for the Journey.

"Good. Let's get the crap out of here."
