↳ chapter 34

It had been days. 3 days, according to Dabi, who wasn't as merciless as the others. Bakugo had become silent, which meant he either lost his voice completely, he was thinking, or he was complying. Or complying AND thinking. I was surprised that my brain didn't completely short circuit like Kaminari's after listening to Shigiraki for 3 days straight. I was struggling with staying alive. No, don't get me wrong, they were feeding me well, torturing me well enough with Shigiraki's talking, but I had completely lost the will to live after gearing Shigiraki speak. I always zoned out after the first word anyway. He could be talking about giving us freedom and I would reject it, only because it was coming out of his mouth.

Today, I wasn't really feeling like listening to Shigiraki. Suddenly, Mr. King Explosion Murder blew out of his seat. I couldn't blame him, Shigiraki's droning was taking a toll on me. Every time a single word came out of his mouth, my sanity would ebb away bit by bit. I rolled my eyes at Bakugo's dramatics. Anytime soon the drug would most likely wear off, and I would be able to help out Bakugo.

The familiar rush of power flowed through my veins. Huzzah, Bakugo, you were lucky today! I teleported next to him, holding my fighting stance. With the two of us, at least we would somewhat have a chance of fighting them.

Bang!

The door was kicked down, and All Might's face popped up from behind the doorframe. Never in my life had I felt so relieved before. Honestly, I wanted to do some Mission Impossible escape from here, but it was better not to risk it, now that a pro-hero was here. If he was here, that means that other pro-heroes we're here too. I sighed in relief. Holy crap, was I tired. No offense, but sleeping on cement blocks weren't the comfiest. I breathed ragged breaths, leaning on the wall next to Bakugo as the villains got wrapped up by Kamui Woods' quirk.

"It's over, " I said in disbelief, the words feeling foreign on my tongue.

"Yeah. At least I don't have to spend any time with you anymore, dipshit, " he sneered.

"Whatever floats your boat, King Explosion Murder, "

"ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF ME?"

I stuck out my tongue at the boy. I chuckled at his ability to get furious in such a short amount of time. Not that I could say much, I was practically the same on my period. It's just that, Bakugo was probably constantly on his period or something. Did boys have periods? Like stages of their life where they felt extremely emotional? I wouldn't know, and I wasn't planning on finding out.

Suddenly, some portals opened beneath our feet before we could even react. I knew it. I was going to hell, wasn't I? I'm sorry Sato that I ate the last cookie in the box you brought without asking. I'm sorry Ochaco for not getting you and Izuku together before I died. I'm sorry mom and dad that you'll have to even pay for my funeral. Dear God above please have mercy on me-

"Ah shit, here we go again, " I whispered to myself before we were both sucked into the black void.

Should I teleport away and leave Bakugo to die? While it was extremely tempting to do so, I stayed, mainly because I'm pretty sure that even Bakugo couldn't handle the entire league by himself, especially if All for One was there. Bakugo, on the other hand, was snickering at what I said. Wait, snickering? I gasped.

"You... You know how to laugh?" I asked in mock horror.

This was truly the single most terrifying day of my life. Bakugo Katsuki was laughing. This either meant that the world was about to collapse to the ground, or both of us were losing our sanity real fast.

"Shut the fuck up, " he shot a glare at me, the laughter disappearing as fast as it had arrived.

Well, at least the Bakugo that everyone knew and loved was back. I couldn't say the same about my mental stability. I should probably get checked in to a mental ward after this is over. Shigiraki singlehandedly made me lose my will to live, my sanity, and my mind. That has got to be the single greatest feat on earth, especially since I was 62.9% sure that an insane person couldn't lose their sanity.

And with that, we fell further down the rabbit hole from Alice in Wonderland.

Finally, we were dropped into some kind of half-destroyed building. I blinked. Scratch that, the building was practically demolished. Did I even want to know what was going on? I rubbed my head in pain, and a pricking sensation could be felt in my arm. I winced at the sudden pain, and immediately got up. I nearly screamed my head off when I realized that there was a needle in my arm. I yanked it out, sucking the blood that was leaking out. Wow, I was just proving the vampire shit was real, wasn't I?

  Wait, did I just get injected with the anti-quirk thingamajig. I mentally groaned. This would not only make fighting 10 times harder, but also limited my options of escape. Why on earth didn't I just escape sooner? I changed into my fighting stance, a smirk on my face, as though challenging them to bring it on.

  Suddenly, All Might came out of nowhere, heading straight towards All for One. How on earth did he even get here so quick? I shrugged it off. What I needed to worry about was the clash. Oh shit, I still didn't want to die. Please Lord have mercy on my poor soul just this once. There are so many more things I want to do in life. I want to make Izuku and Ochaco a thing. I want to fall in love with someone. I want to graduate to become a hero. I have dreams and aspirations too, God.

Please don't let me die.
