Eijiro woke up with a sore back and a painful headache. He heard crying and screaming looking towards the sound and saw Katsuki's head on a stick. It was a horrific sight to behold, veins dangling and sticking to the sick it was connected to, part of his blood filling the air with a strong scent of iron. Looking around he saw that he and his classmates were in a different room. A screen turned on and a distorted voice came through the speakers "I see most of you are awake," they began. Everyone went cold with fear, they put one and one together and suspected that this person brutally murdered Katsuki Bakugou, Ground Zero, the number 2 hero. It was disturbing how calm this person sounded, like he was used to doing something so disgusting and horrid, it made Eijiro want to puke. "All I want to do is play a little game, you will be put to the test to see how good of a person you are, how great a hero you are, and just how great is your will to live is." The voice said. "Then why did you kill Bakugou?" Asui croaked. "He was an example of what would happen to you if you stepped out of line, and he would've failed the tests anyway, so why not just kill him off first." The voice cackled. "You're a sick bastard!" Sero shouted. The person through the screen snaps his fingers and Sero starts foaming at the mouth, making chocking noises and gasping for air, clawing at his throat. His old classmates stood by and watched as he was chocking for air, until someone came running to help him, who was it? He couldn't tell his vision was failing him and he felt cold. His hearing wasn't any better, it was a strange feeling like he could hear everything and nothing at the same time, voices were merging together to make new voices, words were hard to make out, but he could tell that someone was shouting at someone, was it him? No, that can't be right, then who? I feed so numb, my senses feel like they're working against me, someone please explain to me what's going on? What's going to happen to me? Am I going to die? I don't want to die! Please let me live another day, please! Sero thought, but those pleas that fell on no ears were for naught. Sero Hanta lay limp in the arms of Mina Ashido's arms, crying out his name Mina tried to wake Sero up, not believing that he died, she tried CPR on him and nothing worked. She brought his lifeless head up to hers and cried out his name one last time, screaming at the top of her lungs she let out a wail of sorrow that made everyone in the room feel differently, some felt guilt, others felt sorrow and others felt empathy for Mina as she clung to Sero Hanta, their former classmate, their friend. Looking at each other they decided it best to take her away from the corpse. It took most of her strongest classmates to make her let go of the lifeless body, she yelled at her classmates asking them; "Why? Why didn't you fucking help me with Sero? He was dying he needed help! I thought we were heroes! I thought the reason we became heroes was to help those who needed help! Not abuse the power we have and ignore those in need of help!" No one said anything for awhile, they felt the weight of guilt on their shoulders as they knew that she was right, her words cut into them like a knife, to make things worse she wasn't looking at them, she was angry, angry at her friends for loosing what the meaning of hero was.

   "Why did you kill Sero?" Mina asked the silhouette on the screen. "I didn't like the way he called me 'a sick bastard'" the silhouette stated. The pro heroes felt a flame of rage glimmer inside at this statement, it was an awful reason to kill someone who had a whole life in front of them. Mina was seeing red when she heard this, she was ready to fight this motherfucker. "Y'know? Just for you Mina, I'll let you get a head start. Killing Sero was also a test to see how who would help him." The voice announced. The boys felt their grip on Mina loosen as she ran through a doorway, never to be seen again.

The silhouette turned his body towards the rest of them and said "Now your version of this game."
