Eri, wait for us . . .

This time, we'll definitely . . .

. . . Definitely save you!

We managed to push through the masses of people and get into the building. We ran and suddenly, Sir stopped in front of a vase and said there was a device that opened a hidden passage. He pressed down on the planks in a specific order and the wall slid open by itself

It wasn't even half open when a hand came into view and some men stepped out to attack us. Bubbles and Centipede used their quirks and skills to take them down.

"Please go on ahead." she said to us. We went down a staircase but came face to face with a dead end at the first turn. It looked unnatural, like it wasn't part of the place and was just put there in a hurry. Mirio said he would take a look.

"Lemillion, wait! Your clothes might-" said Eiji.

"It's alright, Mirio's costume is made up of a special fibre made from his own hair." said Tamaki.

"Basically it also becomes permeable when he activates his quirk." I finished. Mirio stuck his head through the wall and pulled back after a second.

"It's just been blocked off by a wall." he said. "But it's a pretty thick wall." The two boys in my year went straight for the wall and broke it down. "Let's keep going." said Mirio.

We didn't run for much before we heard a rumbling sound and then the walls, floor and ceiling all warped and put us off balance. I manipulated a disk of ice about a foot off the ground to stand on so I wouldn't fall, much like the one I used when fighting Mirio.

I figured this guy was probably using quirk enhancer as I overheard the pros saying that the man could only usually manipulate objects as big as a fridge. A pro asked Eraser Head to see if he could erase the quirk but for that he needs to be able to see the person. After a minute, the walls got a little less crazy and I stepped down onto the floor, my ice disk in my hand.

"No matter how much they try to warp the path, as long as we know the direction of our goal." I heard Mirio say. "I can get there!"

"Lemillion!" we shouted after him.

"Time is of the essence! Those guys know this, too. That's why they're stalling for time!" he yelled back as he ran further away. "I'mgoing on ahead!" Dammit Mirio, you better not get hu-

"AAAAAAHH!" the floor suddenly grew a huge hole and we all fell through. As soon as we hit the ground it closed above us. I saw my ice disk had smashed. We're in a hall? Dammit, we're getting furthur and furthur away from our goal!

"Hey, hey, hey, hey." said a creepy voice. "Some government authorities have fallen from the sky. Strange things happen, huh?" I saw three men: one with a cloth or a type of bag over his head with eye holes, one bald with a white face mask an another with a black mask shaped like a beak. It looks like they're ready to fight. Fat Gum cracked his knuckles and spoke.

"It's about time we showed them the strength of pro-" Tamaki put his hand up and cut him off.

"Save the strength of pros for the goal." he spoke "For the ones stalling for time . . . I'll be enough by myself." Is that confidence I detect? Haven't seen Tamaki with confidence in a while. I'm so proud of my baby. Eijiro tried to argue and say they should fight together.

"Yeah, work together. I'll kill all of you." said the one with the black mask.

"It's Setsuno!" cried out someone. "We can't use our guns against him! Heroes, it's up to you!"
