Pain of the Past

Run you fool

The forest was in flames in seconds.

Tamaki was dragging Todoroki away, not risking the 'fool' getting himself killed.

The two were making their way back to the main camp but were stopped when Tamaki took a sharp left turn. Todoroki wanted to drag the other back but instead he just followed Tamaki through the forest.

"What are you doing?" Todoroki shouted while dodging past a burning tree.

"I don't know where the parallels end, I have to be sure," Tamaki said, more to himself than to Todoroki.

"Sure of what?"

"I need to make sure they don't try to take Bakugou, he wasn't as angry as last time but I need to make sure," Tamaki explained before running into an opening, only to be grabbed by Shoji and hidden behind a bush.

"I wouldn't go that way," Shoji warned before pointing into the dark.

Tamaki spotted dark shadow covering Tokoyami and controlling him. Sighing, Tamaki shook his head. Guess some things do not change.

"Don't worry, he won't take long to deal with," Tamaki said simply before walking forward, flames swallowing his arm and attacking Tokoyami.

Dark shadow let out a screech before retreating backwards and into his smaller form. Dropping Tokoyami onto the floor.

"Shoji, take Tokoyami back to the camp. Todoroki, you should go back as well. I shall retrieve Bakugou and take him back," Tamaki ordered.

"Why should I do that? For all I know you are working with them, you seemed friendly enough," Todoroki snapped back while crossing his arms.

"Because, Todoroki, I am not a villain. I am trying to stop something no one here can possibly understand, and to do that, I will need to put certain things into motion a lot quicker, one being the change in mind of Tomura. But I doubt anyone will understand my reason in doing that either," Tamaki snapped loudly, clearly fed up with being questioned about being a villain. "Now if you don't mind, possibly you would be so kind as to let me stop a kidnapping."

Tamaki turned around and started running away, Todoroki charging after him.

"I thought I told you to go back?!" Tamaki glared at Todoroki who had caught up with the other.

"I am not going back. If someone is getting kidnapped, we know it's you. You should not be left alone," Todoroki reasoned calmly.

"Compress will not beat me. You have no reason to follow me," Tamaki growled out as if he was personally insulted by Todoroki's notion.

"As I stated, if you do somehow get over powered by this, Compress, it is important someone can go get help and knows what happened." Todoroki was not backing down from his point as Tamaki sighed and resigned to having the other follow him.

Tamaki suddenly picked up his pace and attacked a metal pole that had appeared. Quickly dodging under another, he shot a highly pressured wave at the villain, destroying his metal teeth and sending him into a nearby tree, where he fell unconious.

Bakugou fell on the ground, confused by the sudden defeat of the villain.

"Do not fight me," Tamaki growled before grabbing Bakugou's arm and pulling him to his feet. "I have a feeling that they are going to try and kidnap you, we must get back to the main camp."

Bakugou quickly hit away Tamaki's hand, angry that the other would prefer to run away. "Don't f**king touch me! I will not back down, if they want me they can come and get me! I will fight them all off!"

Tamaki rubbed his eyes, not happy with what Bakugou said. "Don't you see, you cannot fight them!"

"Why the f**k not?!" Bakugou grabbed the front of Tamaki's shirt and pulled him close, growling in his face.

"Because, Bakugou, you are small and weak and don't pay attention to anyone who isn't yourself!" Tamaki pushed Bakugou with every insult. Before Bakugou could say anything, Tamaki turned around and shot fire at Dabi who melted. "Stupid clones."

Tamaki grabbed Bakugou once again and forced him to move forward as they made their way back to the main camp.

Todoroki followed on along side, keeping up to the still screaming Bakugou.

"Will you please shut up! You'll bring every villain to us," Tamaki hissed harshly which seemed to shut up Bakugou.

Swiftly making there way back, Tamaki let Todoroki take the lead whilie forcing Bakugou in the middle. None of the villains could get close enough to Tamaki without being blasted away. They were almost back.

Crack!

Jumping forward, Tamaki pushed Bakugou and Todoroki out of the way of the falling rocks.

"Kota! I forgot Kota!" Tamaki was clearly panicked by the sudden realisation. "Todoroki! Take Bakugou back, now!"

Before either could argue, Tamaki launched his way up the cliff side and up. Muscular was standing over Kota who had been knocked unconious.

Not waiting a second, Tamaki punched Muscular away and send him into the wall. Kneeling down beside Kota, he lifted the younger's head. "Hey, you still alive?"

Kota forced his eyes open as Tamaki let out a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, almost forgot about you there," Tamaki joked before picking up the other. "Don't worry, you'll be fine."

Tamaki stood up, glancing once out Muscular, he jumped away. He ran through the forest, easily making his way to the main camp.

When he arrive he could tell something was wrong. Todoroki was there but Bakugou wasn't. "Tell me he didn't," Tamaki said a little out of breath. "Please tell me he didn't!"

Most looked confused but Todoroki, who knew what Tamaki was asking, lowered his head and avoided Tamaki glare.

Sighing, Tamaki gave Kota to Mandalay before walking to Todoroki's side. "What the hell happened?! You were meant to stop them taking him! I told you to take him back to camp so that he didn't get kidnapped!"

Todoroki looked down, not answering.

Tamaki was fuming. What was the point in making people look after the target in they fail such a simple task! This definitely wasn't his Todoroki.

Tamaki continued screaming at the other not stopping for a second. Eventually, Aizawa came and grabbed Tamaki, dragging him away kicking and screaming.

Aizawa placed him in the tent as he waited for Tamaki to finish screaming. After a while, Tamaki wore himself out and leaned against Aizawa's side.

"This is my fault," Tamaki mumbled quietly.

"It isn't your fault," Aizawa said simply.

"I knew what they were going to do, but I wanted to help him. I wanted him to change, so he could go back to being my brother. I'm sorry. I could have stopped this."

Aizawa listened to what Tamaki said, the gear turning in his mind, sadly coming to the wrong conclusion. He thought that all the information Tamaki had used to stop the attacks came from this 'brother' but he hadn't told any one because he didn't want his 'brother' to go to jail.

"It is okay Tamaki. I understand, from now on, will you help us, stop these attacks?"

Tamaki nodded into Aizawa's side who let off a sigh of relief.

"How about you go to sleep? We'll talk to you in the morning," Aizawa suggested as he laid down the already half asleep teen.

Aizawa sighed as he went out, telling the detective that Tamaki was asleep and would talk when he was awake.

Little did they know, that while Tamaki was sleeping, a purple mist formed over his head. and a marble replaced his place.
