I get the feeling I shouldn't have left Eri, but it's too late to turn back, I'm so close I can hear Bakugo yelling.  I speed up and eventually make it to the edge of the clearing. Bakugo's  hands are only hand cuffed, and he's tied with rope. How lax, they know his quirk is explosion, he could break free easily.  Thank god he isn't hurt. I'd rush in, but Dabi and Overhaul are right there.
  "Kirishima," I recognize that voice, I stiffen, then suddenly the ground disappears, "Hey buddy, didn't expect to see you here." She hooks a finger in my shirt,
  "Ururaka," I hiss,
  "Is that anyway to greet and old friend?"
  "Friend?" She rolls her eyes, then pulls me along into the clearing. "Overhaul, I found the other one."
  "Good, I figured he'd show up."  Ururaka walks me to the the masked man,
  "Your brother would be proud." She grins,
  "Shiggy's already proud of me, now put some rocks on this kid." The second my feet hit the ground it comes up and encases me. Immediately I harden my leg and start to jiggle it, carving away at the stone.
  "Mm! Fuck." I look at Bakugo, he stares back, a look of horror on his face.  "You okay?" I ask, he doesn't move, "Bakugo!?" He continues to stare at me, then he smiles, eerie, I gasp, as Toga takes his place. "You FUCKERS!" I snarl, Overhaul sighs,
  "Do you really think I care about Eri? Yoga told you the egg is being hatched tonight, what do I need her for?" He pats me on the head. "This is revenge on you little shitheads."
  "Revenge? For what?!"
  "For taking what's mine in the first place."
  "She's not yours! She doesn't belong to you." My head bounces off the stone, and my cheeks stings, "Did, you just slap me? You girly bitch!"
  Shit shouldn't have said that, I try to blow the blood from my nose away from my mouth but it's futile. It finally clicks on my brain that there was definitely too much blood for Bakugo not to be hurt.  "Where's Bakugo?" Overhaul stiffens,
  "Yes, Toga, what happened to him?"
  "Eh, gave me a nasty burn after I slashed him, then ran off." So he was okay, thank god. That means everyone is safe, I sigh.
  "Why do you look so relieved?"
  "No reason."
  "Kirishima it's best to answer him." Ururaka says, she sits down on the ground. "But I guess the plan is coming together nicely. So when is Deku gonna get here to save Eri?"
  "How do you know he already hasn't?" Ururaka smiles, "Because we'd be notified Immediately if she wound up missing." Bakugo's phone vibrates in my pocket. Finally, the police should be notified in two minutes. Somebody should be getting Eri out of here, but as if on queue.
  "Overhaul! Sir!"
  He turns to a man who looks like a lizard, "Eri is gone again! We just found Twice on the ground." Suddenly Ururaka's hand is on my throat,
  "What did you do rock face?" I grin,
  "Bakugo has better insults than you bitch."
  "Overhaul, toss him over the edge would you?" I harden, the rock chips when it makes contact with my skin. My leg is able to move back and forth an inch, but it feels like it's rubbed raw. The masked man makes his way behind me, and with a thud I'm over the edge.
  "KIRISHIMA!" I toss my head to the side,
  "Bakugo!" He's limping, blood dripping down his face, "NO!" And I'm falling, I tuck my head down, please don't land on my side not the side  not the side. I land slanted but feet first, no broken necks today. I'm glad I didn't scream, steadily I work at the rock, I hit the bottom, looking up still I'm trying to chip away at stone, watching what can only be Bakugo's explosions V.S. Dabi's flames. I had to get up there and help him, had to. I toss my head around violently I had to get the rock around my neck away. A person careens over the edge, diving in and swimming for me. Bakugo, I work harder, faster my lungs burning, Bakugo's shimmering tail is the only thing I see and the rock slightly gets lifted, it sinks. I hear Bakugo screaming and the rock lifts again. Warbled booms sting my ears. My shoulders can move, my eyes are black around the edges, I can't control my head, I droop. Screaming, it sounds like my name, but it's hard to tell in the water, his hands are on my cheeks. Then on the stone around my neck, heat, I'm sweating, the rest of my vision clouds in.
