Go Beyond (Bakugo x OC)

Stay Back

He leans casually against a tree, a lazily raised bright blue hand.

"I was starting to worry I wouldn't get to see you. You never answered any of my texts." He holds a phone up with his other hand.

"So what were you doing at the mall, huh? Perusing for victims or trying to update your wardrobe?" I spit, trying to push myself off the ground. I stand, clumsily.

"Isn't it obvious?" He asks. I light my good arm.

"Obvious that you're a psycho." I retort.

He sighs. "Come on, Hazaezal. Put that out and let me help you. That shoulder looks pretty bad." He shrugs. I throw a fire ball towards him, aiming higher than his head. He doesn't move. "You missed." He smirks

"You weren't my target." The crackling sound of wood splintering grows. He looks above him, the large branch of the tree he was leaning on, falls towards him. He easily dodges it and I use this distraction to my advantage. I begin to run towards him , kicking him in the chest, ignoring the shooting pain. I can't rely on my quirk, not with all this foliage around. But maybe he can't either. He ignites his hands and hesitates.

"What's the matter, Dabi? Not confident in your combat skills without your pretty flames?" I taunt before spinning to kick him again. He blocks with his forearms as I start to strike with my good arm. He throws it down. I begin to spin to kick again and he stops me, grabbing me from behind, squeezing my torso.

"Would you like me to help you to your dressing room, doll? Ooh, you seem nervous." He taunts back in my ear. I throw my head forward and back, slamming into his face. He releases me and I turn to face him again, only to be met with a hard object striking my temple. It felt like a wall of concrete. I fall to the floor, my head dizzy from the impact. I lift myself off the ground slower than I would've liked.

"Figures. Can't fight me by yourself, is that it?" I turn to Dabi, gritting my teeth. "Scared, villain?"

"Like you're one to call me villain." He smirks. "Take her." He says, but not to me. I quickly turn my head to react to my new foe, only to be grabbed by a large fist. "Don't bang her up too much, that wound is already going to be a pain to deal with." He mentions as he walks away. I struggle in its grasp, this situation feeling all too familiar. I look at my opponent, a Nomu, different from the one at the USJ and at Hosu. They must be breeding these mindless things, mutating them in any way they can. At least now I can use my fire. I ignite myself, melting the hand, ready for it to reform itself like the others. It doesn't take long. In fact it's healing much quicker. It starts to charge at me. This thing isn't like the Hosu one. It's more like the USJ Nomu, meaning taking it on myself would be suicide. I can try to incapacitate it and go after Dabi, making sure they didn't take Katsuki.

I power up my quirk, starting from my toes, letting the energy increase as it travels out my palms. I aim for it's eyes, hoping to blind it, even for just a moment. It shrieks, growing extra arms with mechanical tools attached swiping blindly at me. I begin to run. Maybe I can lose it in the trees, but it's not likely. My speed has definitely decreased and Dabi couldn't have gotten far.

I was right. It felt like I was only running for a minute when I found him in a clearing with two others, a girl and a man in a skin-tight suit.

"It's her!" The man it the suit yells. "Who is that?" What? I ignite my arms again. Three of them, two with unknown quirks , and the Nomu closing in. I'm not liking the odds. I could just explode, taking out the two and the Nomu temporarily and then focusing my efforts on Dabi, but my classmates could still be in the forest. The fire could trap them. God I wish my friends were here.

"That didn't take long." Dabi mentions. "But now that we're all here, we can get this over with. Where's Compress?" As if on cue, a scream is heard above us. I look up and quickly jump out of the way as multiple bodies slam to the forest floor.  The smoke clears and I see Shoto, Shoji and a very injured Midoriya. But no Katsuki.  Why would he separate from Shoto?

"Give Kacchan and Tokoyami back to us!" Izuku yells at the pinned masked man. How could he have both of them? Where are they?

"Out of the way, Compress." Dabi warns, raising his palm.

"No!" I sprint at him, grabbing him at his side and taking him to the ground. His hand fires, missing the group, but not completely.

"Haze!" Shoto yells before he begins to fight the masked man. I keep Dabi pinned under me. My foot pressing against his wrist and the other trapped under my hand.

"Where's Katsuki?" I ask, threatening to press my knee into his throat. He smiles.

"Gonna kill me too, Haze? Shigaraki said you could be tempted, but I wasn't sure until now." I narrow my eyes at him.

"Where is Katsuki?" I repeat again, slower making sure he understands how serious I am.

"Haze!" Shoji yells. I glance at him as he holds two blue marbles. "I figured out your little trick, my guess is you have them both trapped in here. Let's go!"  I smile and push off Dabi only for him to grab my shoulder, digging into my wound with his fingers.

"Leaving so soon?" He asks. I yell using my free hand to punch in square in the face. He lets go. I turn to my friends as they head away from the clearing...in the direction I came from.

"Wait!" I yell. The heavy footsteps growing louder. The Nomu emerges from the trees, healed and prepped for battle. I sprint after them only to be blocked by a purple portal as multiple manifest around me.

"It's been five minutes since the signal. Let's go Dabi." The man from the USJ instructs.

"Fine." Dabi says placing his arm around my shoulder. I start to react.

"Ah, ah ah." Compress warns. "You wouldn't leave your friends all alone, would you?" He holds out a blue marble. "Your friends were so proud about rooting through my pockets, I figured I'd let them gloat. But allow me to explain a basic tenant of magic. If I'm flaunting something shiny, it's because I've got something else I don't want you to see." He takes off his mask and opens his mouth, revealing two marbles on his tongue.

"Give them back!" I yell, prepping my arm to fire at his chest as the others join. Dabi steps in front, placing his palm on mine and igniting a similar move, the pressure causing us both to stagger.

"Sweet dreams, doll." He gives me a small wave. My brow furrows. I see Shoto look to me and sprint towards me.

"Haze, look o-!" I feel an intense pain at my temple and then nothing. Just darkness.

SHOTO'S POV

I watched her collapse, only to be caught by that man in the skin suit. He carries her walking towards a portal.

"Todoroki! Grab it!" Shoji yells. I turn and watch the blue marble, holding my classmate, fly towards me. I leap, reaching to grab it, only to come in second to the man they called Dabi.

"Poor Shoto Todoroki." I fall to the ground, quickly recovering to sprint towards them, I can't let them take her. "Confirm it Compress. Release them." Compress snaps his fingers as Tokoyami, is revealed in the arms of Shoji and Bakugo in the hands of Dabi. He readies his quirk, ready to fight back.

"Kacchan!" Midoriya yells, sprinting towards him to help. Bakugo's eyes widen as he sees the man carrying Haze into another portal. His fists tighten, but soon relax as they pull him into the portal.

"Stay back, Deku."
