Under Pressure

Chapter Six: The USJ

"Real villains? How'd they even get in here?!" Uraraka squeals, her voice shaking slightly.

We all watch as the crowd of villains start to advance. The first one, the hand guy, almost seems like he's looking for something, someone. Who would he be looking for?

"Did they only appear here, or around the whole school?" Todoroki asks, taking a step forward, "They're not that stupid, they obviously planned this. They're looking for someone."

That's it.

I immediately know who it is, and by the way Deku tenses next to me I can tell he does too. All Might is their target, and he isn't here. They came here for him specifically, they somehow knew he would be here.

"Thirteen, take care of them," Aizawa states, pulling his goggles down before jumping down to ground level.

I've read Mr. Aizawa's file, I know he can fight. His quirk is strong, yes, but he is no stranger to hand to hand combat when need be. Still, he can't handle all of those villains by himself for long.

"Alright, to the exit, now!" Thirteen orders.

Everyone slowly turns to the doors, taking slow steps. Reluctantly, I turn and follow. Every fiber of my being is telling me to stay and fight, but I can't disobey a pro hero's orders. But before we can even get close to the door, that purple void villain comes out of nowhere and blocks our path.

"Get out of our way!" Bakugo yells, him and Kirishima jumping in front of Thirteen.

Their advance does nothing but get in Thirteen's way, ruining any chance we actually had at escaping. I let out an aggravated sigh, chewing on the inside of my cheek. Before I can do anything, I'm frozen in my tracks.

"My job is to scatter you all and torture you to death," the purple haze warns, before fully surrounding us.

Next thing I know, I'm being engulfed in water. Out in front of me I can see Deku trying to swim towards the surface. A villain approaches him while in water and before I can even think to use my quirk, Tsu is already at it. She wraps her tongue around the villain and flings him to the side, giving us the chance to swim away. When we make it up to the surface, I finally realize we're in the shipwreck zone.

It's Deku, Tsu, Mineta, and myself. That warp villain dropped us here when we got separated. We struggle to get onto the ship, all looking around at the villains surrounding us in the water.

"Something's wrong," Deku says softly, "They knew U.A.'s schedule."

"They're looking for All Might," I confirm, "I could tell, that hand-face guy was way too obvious about it."

"If they're looking for All Might," Tsu mumbles, looking around, "Then they obviously came here to defeat him. I don't understand why they would think that's possible, though."

"If they came here to defeat him, then they obviously have a way to do that. They're not stupid enough to come without a full proof plan," I say coldly.

Mineta looks over the edge of the ship just as an arm of water hits it, splitting it in half. We all shake, doing our best to keep our balance. The boat is sinking now. In just a matter of minutes we will be fully submerged in the water.

"Wait! Wait, hold on," Deku says, causing all of us to look to him. "If they sent Tsu here, despite the fact that her quirk is by far the most compatible with this zone, then they obviously don't know what our quirks even are."

"You're right," I nod, "We can use that for our advantage."

"When the enemy becomes certain of their victory, we will take our chance."
