The Alleyway was completely silent following Naoko's proclamation, not only were Naoko's peer's stunned into silence by this new information, but it seemed that the Hero Killer himself had been taken aback by this. The two heroes in training were sending frantic glances not only to Naoko, but also to each other, silently asking if whether of them had known about the whole, 'dead parents' thing.

Stain was the first to react, "Well ain't that interesting," He drawled, the malice in his voice so intense that it had a shiver crawling down everyone's backs, "I'm impressed kid, it seems that you're one of the only good heroes around, I approve of you."

It seemed that he was genuinely complementing her, not that Naoko cared... well, she really couldn't even tell that he had asked her a question as she was using her quirk more or less in place of her eyes, "You know, I think I felt you say something, but I really don't care."

The third presence was quickly approaching, but Naoko had already made her move by the time the heterochromatic teenager reached the scene. She could still feel Chris' words burning through her, she knew she wasn't skilled enough to do anything nor was she licensed to do anything, but that didn't stop her from acting... She would be damned if she let her classmates die because of a rule.

Naoko didn't even have a second to retaliate when she felt Stain move, her quirk alerted her off that fact right before she was hit in the midsection with one of Stain's daggers that was left in it's sheath. Unfortunately for him, Naoko was so immersed in her quirk that when he hit her she didn't even flinch, but a sinkhole opened up right below where he was going to land as Naoko's body rag dolled away.

This wasn't what anyone expected to happen, it almost seemed like she had disconnected her body from her mind as she and stain began to engage in a rather odd battle where he bounced around the alley way and she melted where he had just barely stepped. The whole thing was moving so fast that no one on scene could keep up with what was happening.

As soon as Todoroki stepped foot into the area affected by Naoko's quirk, the madness stopped for half a moment as Naoko disconnected herself from her quirk, "Why the hell did you come!" She practically screamed, her eyes were rather unfocused as she attempted to sit up, but her quirk still had some amount of control, which meant she had no strength in her limbs.

"You need to get everyone out of her," Her voice held an urgency that no one had ever heard from her before, not even at the USJ, "I can't hold him off for long, go, please!"

Todoroki's eyes flashed between Iida, Midoriya, the wounded hero, and Naoko, all of whom were lying on the ground helplessly, "I won't leave you Fujimura-san," He said quietly, but Naoko cut him off before he could say anything else,

"I can't see you; I have no idea what you're saying, you idiot! Just go! The heroes know I'm here; I wasn't an idiot who ran off without telling people where I was going, unlike a few other people here!"

Stain made to leap forward but was stopped by yet another pit hole that he dodged easily enough. He was beginning to understand her quirk, which made it easier for him to avoid her attacks. Naoko was aware of the fact that he was learning from her, which made her even more desperate to get them out of there.

"Do none of you guys understand how outmatched we are? The city is being attacked by those freaks from the USJ and all the heroes who could help us are currently trying not to die. We are no match for him. You need to go now!"

Todoroki, far from listening to Naoko, took a step forward as he narrowed his eyes, "Sorry Fujimura-san, I don't believe in leaving my comrades behind."

Sonar and Chris were currently running through the city at breakneck speeds, dodging fire that seemed to be raining down from the heavens as they chased an opportunistic idiot that had decided to take advantage of the chaos surrounding them. Already he had been leading the duo on for far longer than they liked, especially since Naoko's emergency signal had been cut off abruptly several minutes ago.
