Akumas and Shenanigans

Ch.25 - Akumas and Shenanigans

"The thing is practically taunting us..." Mina grumbled, still hiding behind you.

The Akuma had yet to move an inch in the ten minutes since its arrival. Only ever so gently batting its wings up and down, showing it was still alive and well. No one had moved, aside from general shuffling to look at the Akuma from a better angle. It seemed everyone had agreed to not get close to it in fear of what it could do.

"We can't just stand around for another forty minutes..." Todoroki breathed out, looking towards Midoriya and Iida. "The situation in here will only grow tenser and one of us will for sure get Akumatized from the fear of it."

"Then... we should kill it!" Kaminari suddenly spoke with vigor. "It's a butterfly right, so let's just smash it!"

Before you could warn the blonde with the lightning bolt in his hair that it wasn't that simple... Kaminari had grabbed whatever was on the table he was standing by. The antique phone decoration was tossed towards the Akuma. The telephone shattering the glass table, sending the flower vase and panic button into a mess of glass and fallen table. Meanwhile, the Akuma had taken to the air again.

"You fucking moron!" Bakugou roared, voice loud and angry. "What the fuck was that supposed to accomplish?!"

Kaminari shrugged, then looked panicked as the Akuma started to make its way over to them all once more. "I-I was trying to squash it! Now, look out!"

Immediately it was Bakugou who was tackled this time. Sero, Kirishima, and Kaminari all wanting to protect him... whether it is a general worry for Bakugou or worry of the monster he could get turned into.

The butterfly ignored the group of four boys now in a dogpile on the ground. Instead fluttering towards the table the telephone had just rested on. The boys all scrambled to the other side of the room where their friends were. Everyone hunched together, looking on with worry at the situation.

"C-can we try for the panic button?" Uraraka whined.

"It's not a good idea..." Tsuyu mumbled, pointing to the glass pile. "If anyone tries to find it... your hand is pretty much-guaranteed surgery from the amount of glass it'll go through to get the button."

"So we're screwed is what you're saying?!" Kaminari cried, Sero elbowing him harshly.

It was clear Kaminari was the one panicking the most right here and now. Your eyes batted quickly over to the bug, and to your surprise, despite the increase of panic in Kaminari... it didn't move. As if the Akuma didn't even acknowledge him.

Making a silent prayer for good luck ironically, as well as running a small trial to see if what you had theorized to do something to see if your line of thinking was correct you shuffled over to a side of the room. Mina quickly replacing you as a shield with Kirishima.

"Plagg... I have an idea." You whispered into your bag while everyone was trying to decide what to do next. "But... I need a little destructive power..."

Plagg blinked from inside your purse before a smile engulfed his face. "Say the word kid! You know I can give you all the destruction you'd like!"

After quickly telling Plagg what you were after, he phased out of your bag and started to head off to do exactly that. You came back towards the group, narrowly missing how one male with red eyes had been watching you.

Bakugou huffed, seeing as even out of costume you were acting. He might as well do the same. Tikki had been shuffling about in his backpack since it all started... so maybe he'll let her help out your kwami.
