Villainous Hero

35 | "Poor Shouto Todoroki"

"Give Kacchan and Tokoyami back to us!" Midoriya screamed with rage. Both his arms are in makeshift casts that consist of two broken branches and ripped cloth. Despite how painful it looks to have two broken arms, the midori boy is using all his might to save his friends.

"Guys, careful. Shiki brought the villains here, she's a traitor." Shouto warned his friends. His voice is hard with anger.

My composure faltered. My raised arms lowered to my sides. That's it, they know. My secret is out.

"What? Shouto, explain." Midoriya gushed. Right now is not the time to be having a conversation.

"Out of the way Shiki." Dabi barely gave me a second to move before he blasted a huge wave of flames at the group of boys. To avoid being cremated I lunged to the side.

"That's cold!" Twice complained about Dabi's blue fire.

I watched while Midoriya and Shoji got singed while Shouto evacuated.

"This is your chance, do it now," Dabi commanded. His words floated through my head.

My classmate's eyes burned into me. Even the villains had stopped their inner monolog to stare. Under so many judging eyes my body refused to move.

"Go screw yourself." I spat. Dabi groaned at my defiance.

"Twice, make quick work of them, we need to leave." Shouto's brother waved for the other villain to attack.

"The beat-up little boy and you. You're on Shigaraki's Kill List. No, they weren't!" Twice took to a mid-long-range attack from the air. His weapon of choice is his razor-sharp retractable rulers that are on the wrists of his villain costume.

"Toga, kill them," Dabi said.

The girl went about her way with that scary grin on her face. Her target is Midoriya. The poor boy's face would have made me laugh if this situation wasn't deadly.

Shouto reacted quickly by creating a small glacier to thwart Twice. The poor guy screamed.

"Too hot!" Twice changed his trajectory midair. He landed on the ground a few meters away. Shouto persisted with more vaults of ice. Each attack making the summer night feel like a new ice age.

"Ah-ha! This is easy! Give me all you got! Hey, man cut me some slack!" Twice's steel-like flexible rulers cut through Shouto's ice with ease.

"What the hell is with this guy?" Shouto growled. He looks pissed off.

"Dabi stop this, right now!" I stomped over to the cloaked murderer.

"I know Tomura trusts you so just tell him we failed. We don't need to kill them just because that asshole doesn't like them." I said angrily.

"It's not just him, ya know. I want that Todoroki dead too." Dabi looked down at me straight in the eyes. Those eyes seem to be ablaze.

"Do you got Bakugou?" Dabi asked one of the villains I haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet.

"Of course." Mr. Compress riffled through his pockets seeming to be searching for something.

"Midoriya. Todoroki. We're done! He gave away his best trick. I'm not sure what your quirk is but it had to do with those little marbles right? The ones you stashed in your pocket. So I'm guessing these are Tokoyami and Bakugou." Shoji held up two blue marbles for Dabi and Mr. Compress to see.
