Piecing Together and Broken Pieces

34- Piecing Together and Broken Pieces

After over an hour of looking around areas, fighting off controlled citizens, and nearly calling Ryujin his actual name half a dozen times... a message finally came in. It seemed as though Usagi's hunch had been correct, and was asking for backup for where he had found the akuma.

"The hospital?" Kuro spoke, raising her brow.

Ryujin's eyes widened. "It couldn't be..."

He took off a moment later, leaving Kuro to have to catch up to him. As she did, the cat could tell something was bothering the dragon.

"Is everything okay?" Kuro asked.

"I have a feeling... a certain child Midoriya has been seeing after they removed her from an abusive home... might be experiencing a bad episode." He breathed, Kuro's eyes widening.

A child? One from an abusive home?

If Ryujin was right... then it meant Monarch was targeting children now.

Just how low was he going to sink?

~~~~~

The pair of you arrived as soon as you could, seeing everyone else waiting. RB didn't even give you a second to contain your breath, instead barging inside. As predicted, it looked as if the hospital had become a fortress.

Everyone was quickly putting up a fight, making the way down the hallways until the final boss seemed to appear. A small child no older than six was holding onto a stuffed doll that looked exactly like her, as well as having a horn on her head that was spewing out the infection dots. The doll also had butterflies falling from its fingers, and turning dark moments later.

"Time to use your powers guys..." Kuro muttered, quickly using her cataclysm to break down a wall and stop anyone else from coming in.

While the eight of you didn't have time to discuss a plan... RB had already sent everyone a message saying what he wanted them to do. So now... it was time to see if they could follow through.

"Mirage!" Vixen called out, strumming her little harp.

Immediately, there was a bunch of copies of each of you. Eri rose her hand, asking her infected minions to strike. All she had to do was break the illusion to see where the real ones were. But as she tried to strike Nezumi, he didn't break. Nor did the other four copies of him.

"Your turn." Nezumi motioned towards Ryujin who dashed passed him.

"Ice dragon..." He mumbled, the combined powers of the water dragon and bee miraculous allowing him to do this.

Ryujin froze everyone in place, Crimson Turtle doing his step next. Using his force field, he trapped Eri inside. No one else can get infected now.

"Lucky charm." RB spoke, grabbing the belt and tossing it towards Sun.

Kuro came near him, smiling as she tied an end of the belt to each of their wrists.

"On three." Kuro nodded to RB.

"One." Kuro spoke, seeing RB start to using his Voyage. "Two!"

"Three!" He shouted, pointing the voyage from in front of Kuro and Sun to the inside of Eri's bubble.

Before Eri could escape though, Kuro froze time. She hurried into the portal, Sun following her. RB would close it not even a second after this time split was done. And then... it would be up to Usagi to increase his speed to snatch the amok or akuma as RB grabbed the other.
