Warnings for this chapter: Blood and gore in the second half of the chapter.

    "–ve us quite the scare. He'll be alright. Hana used her Quirk to make Shinsō-kun hit the ground harder than necessary. I've healed most of the injury. I want you to watch ov–" Hitoshi blinks his eyes open, He groans quietly as the lights bring stars to his eyes and rubs the harshly, sitting up from the hospital cot.

  "This is the second time I've healed you and the day hasn't ended yet," Recovery Girl says with a stern glare. Hitoshi gives a tired smile, chuckling.

  "The universe is out to get me," Hitoshi says with a shrug.

  "Hitoshi-chan! Are you alright?" Nemuri asks, rushing over to his cot. Hitoshi blushes and nods his head.

  "Have a pounding headache and I'm sore all over, but 'm fine. How long was I out?" Hitoshi says, scratching his neck. Nemuri sighs heavily, shoulders sagging in relief.

  "An hour or so. You missed two matches," Nemuri answers, making Hitoshi groan.

  "Only an hour? How unfortunate," Hitoshi sighs while rubbing one of his eyes.

  "You're all healed up. I better not see you back here again today," Recovery Girl says with a stern glare. Hitoshi laughs nervously, nodding his head.

  "I'll try. Thanks Recovery Girl-san," Hitoshi says, slowly standing up from the cot. Nemuri helps him walk out of the infirmary and towards where Class 1-A sat.

  "I'll go get Himari-chan and Hayate-chan for you. Your class is worried about you," Nemuri says, ruffling Hitoshi's hair. He flinches from the sudden contact, but smiles softly and nods. Hitoshi sighs heavily before opening the door to his class's section and walks in.

  "Yo, what'd I miss?" The tired teenager greets, hand raised in a lazy salute.

  "Shinsō! You're alive!" The entire class shouts in relief and joy. Hitoshi flinches back when he is suddenly stuck in the middle of a group hug.

  "You were so manly, but should you be walking around?" Eijirō asks with a bright smile. Hitoshi feels his cheeks warm while he scratches his neck.

  "Yeah, just a headache," Hitoshi says, averting his gaze. Eijirō grins brightly, giving Hitoshi a giant hug.

  "Which matches did I miss?" Hitoshi asks, tensing from Eijirō's hug.

  "You missed Kirishima-san's and Sero-san's match, and mine and Ojiro-san's match," Momo says with a tired smile.

  "Sero-san and Ojiro-san won the matches, but Yaoyorozu-san and Kirishima-san were amazing!" Izuku exclaims with bright eyes, hands holding a burnt notebook.

  "Yaoyorozu-san and Ojiro-san were neck and neck! It was so awesome," Denki comments with a bright smile. Momo blushes and messes with her ponytail, taking a bite of a protein bar.

  "Kirishima-san fought much better against Sero-san. I wasn't able to do anything after I couldn't use my Quirk anymore..." Momo says, crosses her arms around her stomach.

  "You did amazing! I had no idea you knew how to fight with a bo staff! It was crazy to watch you and Ojiro-san going at it!" Hagakure Tōru, an invisible girl sitting next to Ojiro Mashirao, a boy with short blonde hair, dark eyes, fair skin, and a tail, exclaims loudly. The sleeves of her uniform moves rapidly, indicating she was waving her hands in the air.

  "Ashido-san and Tsu-chan are fighting next. We're just waiting for Midnight-Sensei," Ochako Uraraka, a 15 year old girl with brown hair, brown eyes, fair skin, and an incredibly round face, says brightly. Momo sighs in relief at the change of subject.

  The entire class jumps in surprise when the door bursts open. Hitoshi grunts when two sudden blurs run into him.

  "I have to breathe you two," Hitoshi says placing his hands on his younger siblings' heads. The purple haired twins break the hug, both turning red.

  "Sorry. We're just glad you're alright," Himari signs quickly to defend herself and Hayate. Hitoshi chuckles and ruffles her hair.

  "Come on. Ashido-san and Tsu-chan are about to fight," The purple haired teenager says leading the twins to where Momo was sitting.

  "I didn't know Himari-chan and Hayate-kun were here today!" Izuku exclaims with a bright smile. Himari waves excitedly while Hayate gives the green haired boy a bright smile.

  "I didn't want them missing out on all of the chaos we were going to inevitably cause," Hitoshi shrugs. "Besides Mama was... busy and I couldn't get the babysitter in time."

  "And no. I cannot trust you to be alone. I can trust Hayate, but you're a trouble magnet, Himari."

    "Please! Someone help!" A 15 year old boy screams brokenly. "Please."

  "Oh, pretty boy~. No one's coming to save you or your little dollie," The woman shrouded in shadows says sweetly, digging the knife deeper into a 16 year old girl's back. She tries to scream out, voice completely gone.

  "Ple–op!" The girl tries to beg, but the woman slams her head into the ground. Blood covered the entire floor of the alleyway they were in, tall buildings casting dark shadows over the ground.

  "Sorry, but we can't stop. We have a message to send to the world," The masked man says, forcing the boy to watch the shadow woman torture the girl.

  "You should be proud, little dollie. You're the start of what's going to be an amazing revolution," The woman says sweetly, a maniacal grin shining through the darkness.

  "Hello?! Is anyone there?" A male voice from the entrance of the alleyway echoes loudly. The masked man curses under his breath, taking out a knife.

  "HELP! OVER HE–"

  The man cuts off the boy's scream by stabbing his neck. The woman groans in annoyance, stabbing a knife through the girl's lower back.

  "I really wanted to continue to play with the little dollie!" The woman pouts while the masked man places his hand on the ground. A hole appears and the woman jumps down, followed by the man.

  "Don't worry. I'll make sure to have your next session with our future volunteers last longer," The man says before the hole closes up. A 30 year old man dressed in a knight hero costume runs into the alleyway. He slides to a stop, staring at the gruesome scene before him.

  "Oh God..." The man mutters, freezing. He quickly takes out his phone and presses speed dial.

  "I sent my location. Get here quick with two ambulances. Bring backup," The man says, face paling. He ends the call and quickly drops his phone before running over to the two high school students.

  "Hey, stay with me. Help's on the way," The man says, placing his gloved hands against the boy's neck.

  "In-Inge-um."

Hey! I know it's been almost a month or two since I last updated and I am terribly sorry. With all that's happening, I was having a pretty hectic time. I also had a small bit of writer's block, but editing the previous chapters of this book helped. It's a pretty short chapter, so sorry about that as well I guess. Also, I have changed the battles, obviously. Izuku will still be fighting against Shōto in the second round and Katsuki will still fight Ochako, because that was a badass fight.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter! Bye!
