Stranded

Chapter 8

"Head in that direction!" Aizawa pointed. The pilot nodded and steered the helicopter to the right.

"Shota I'm getting really worried," Yamada looked fearful. "We're so stupid! I can't believe we did this to him."

Aizawa sighed and looked out the side window, searching for any sign of Toshinori or Enji. The second I heard on the news that there would be a huge storm, I knew we had to go and find All Might. This prank has officially gone too far.

"-I mean, why did I have to suggest it? I know he can't stay big for that long! He's so weak and small, he can't handle something like this! Oh man, he's never gonna forgive-"

SLAP!

The glasses flew off Yamada's face as Aizawa's hand made contact with his cheek. Yamada stared at Aizawa.

"What good is it to sit there and freak out? Shut up and watch out for Endeavour and All Might." Aizawa grumbled and turned back to looking out the window when he saw a little red dot. "There! I found Endeavour!" He pointed the pilot in the right direction, and they made their descent onto the island.

Endeavour looked up at the helicopter and watched as it descended. He waited for it to land and began to walk toward it. He stopped when the door opened and Aizawa jumped out.

"Todoroki! Where's Yagi?" Aizawa asked. Enji scoffed.

"I don't know and I don't care. Would you care to explain why you thought it was a good idea to take me away from my duties to strand me here with that buffoon?!" He stepped toward Aizawa menacingly. Aizawa smiled.

"It's raining you know." He spoke calmly. "You can't use your fire on me in this weather. Now get into the helicopter and help us look for him." He turned back to the helicopter.

Endeavour crossed his arms and huffed angrily, but decided he would rather just get on with it and go home. He got into the helicopter and sat next to Yamada.

"H-hey Endeavour! How's it hanging?"

"Shut your stupid mouth, Mic." He shot Yamada a terrifying look.

Yamada grimaced. I deserved that. "S-sure thing."

"Did you run into him at all?" Aizawa asked Endeavour as he got in, shutting the door after him.

"Yeah. If you head in the direction of that mountain you might find him." He grumbled.

"You heard him." Aizawa looked at the pilot. He nodded and started up the helicopter, taking off in search of Toshinori. Endeavour took this opportunity to ask his question again.

"What was running through your mind Eraser? When you decided to pull me from my home and leave me here on this island with Yagi?"

Aizawa sat with his arms crossed over his chest, peering out the window every so often. "It wasn't even my idea, it was Yamada's."

Yamada's jaw dropped. "Hey! It was YOUR idea to take All Mi- I mean, Yagi to this island!"

Endeavour rolled his eyes. "I know Yagi is All Might."

Aizawa lifted his head and looked at Endeavour with curious eyes. "Did he reveal himself to you or you figured it out on your own?"

"I think he was forced to reveal himself. He didn't look happy about it, even with that damned grin on his face."

"I see. Keep your eyes peeled, we need to find him and get him to a hospital." Aizawa looked out the window, scanned the area for signs of Toshinori, and turned back to Endeavour. "How was he, in terms of taking care of himself?"

Endeavour snorted. "He didn't know what he was doing. But he was hacking up a lot of blood."

Aizawa sighed. Yeah, this was never a good idea. Nezu is going to kill us.

"That stupid yellow flower." The grizzly bear grumbled as he walked in the rain. "How did he get bigger like that?" He shook his body, water flying off his brown fur. "And he didn't have to bonk me on the head like that! It hurt so much. And it still does!" He growled as he walked on. His nose twitched as it picked up on a weird scent.

"What is that?" He put his nose to the ground and walked along, sniffing here and there. He stopped and lifted his head. There in front of him, slumped over at the base of a large tree, sat Toshinori. The rain was dripping off his hair and down his face. "It's him! The guy who bonked me to sleep!" He approached Toshinori. "Is he dead?" The bear pushed Toshinori's head with his snout. He slumped over even more. "I think he is. Well, he's mine now!" He grabbed Toshinori's arm with his mouth and started to drag him away.

The helicopter sped toward the large mountain, Aizawa and Yamada constantly looking out the windows in search of their fellow hero.

"C'mon! Where are you Yagi?" Yamada whimpered, frantically searching for him. Something moving down below caught his eye. It looked like.. a bear? And it had something in its mouth. Something yellow..

"I FOUND HIM! I FOUND HIM! A BEAR'S GOT HIM!" Yamada shrieked.

"Hurry up, land this thing!" Aizawa shouted at the pilot.

"Got it!" The pilot brought the helicopter down as quickly as possible. Yamada and Aizawa were out of the helicopter before it even touched the ground. Enji grumbled and stepped out once it had landed. Aizawa's eyes widened. The bear turned around to face the heroes.

"Oh no you don't! This guy is mine! Go away!" The bear growled at them.

"A grizzly? Of all bears." Aizawa groaned. "This is gonna be tough. My quirk is useless here. Endeavour, go get All Might!" Endeavour stared at Aizawa.

"What makes you think I can take on this 10 foot tall bear?"

"You're huge! Figure it out!" Aizawa yelled.

Yamada gulped. I have to do something. This is all my fault! He clenched his fists.

"Guys, cover your ears! I'll scare it off!" Yamada took a deep breath.

"You should cover your ears, Todoroki."

"Don't tell me what to do, Eraser-"

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Yamada's voice blasted through the woods, scaring off every bird, squirrel and rabbit in the area. Aizawa smirked, his hands over his ears. Endeavour quickly realized his mistake and brought his hands up to his ears as well.

"Yikes!" The bear dropped Toshinori and made a mad dash away from the heroes. Once the bear was clearly no longer a threat, Aizawa ran to Toshinori's side and picked him up.

"Lets go!" He yelled, and ran toward the helicopter. He jumped inside and laid Toshinori down on the ground. I'm so sorry, Yagi.

Yamada and Endeavour jumped into the helicopter. Yamada sat on the opposite side of Aizawa and looked at Toshinori with deep regret. I don't expect you to forgive me for this, Toshi, he thought, his face scrunching up with worry. Enji shook his head.

"You two are idiots." He mumbled as the helicopter ascended into the sky and flew off in the direction of the city.
