Go Beyond (Bakugo x OC)

Your Turn

HAZE'S POV
I couldn't focus on anything as the heroes came. Besides the comfort in knowing Katsuki is safe, all I can do is stare at the Symbol of Peace and decide whether to scream at him or thank him. I know what they said about tracking us is a lie, but I can't figure out if it was all a lie. Did they really fund it all or was it just a trick? But at this moment, I can't focus on anything. Not when I feel this awful feeling in my body. Like my stomach is turning inside out. I squeeze Katsuki's hand for comfort, but soon I can no longer feel it all. I am swallowed into a brief moment of darkness, until I emerge at the feet of someone, blood all over the floor.

"What?" I get on my knees, looking over to see Best Jeanist on the ground, barely coherent and bleeding. "Oh my god!" I reach for him, unsure of what I can do, but desperate to do anything.

"No, no, Harbinger." An unfamiliar voice calls out. I turn around, facing a man that almost looks like a machine.

"Who-,"

"The hell!" That sweet, agitated voice rings in my ears. I glance over and he's here. "Haze! Are you okay?"

"She's fine, Bakugo." The man answers. "My apologies to you both." The rest of the League drop in through the same portals. The heroes' plan has failed miserably. He steps towards Shigaraki. "So, you failed again Tomura, but don't be discouraged. You'll try again. That's why I brought your associates. Even these children, because you judged that they were important to your cause. You found the weakness between these two. She's so close, can't you tell? The look in her eye makes it obvious. Start over as many times as it takes. All of this is for you." My fists tighten as he speaks. He doesn't even know me. None of them do. They've only seen me strapped to a table. They have no idea what I think. He's looks up. "Ah, there you are." The clouds from the rubble disperse quickly, as All Might flies in delivering a fully powered punched to the masked man. He withstands it.

"I'll have you return my students, All For One!" He commands, as they fight. They break from their stance, causing us all to fly backwards. I hit the ground, landing on my stomach, looking desperately for Katsuki. All Might flies over my head into the buildings behind me. If he can't withstand blows from this guy, how will he ever win?

"Get off the battlefield, Tomura. And take them with you." He points to us. I find Katsuki a few meters away, his eyes wide as he looks in the direction All Might landed. He forcibly opens a large portal through Kurogiri and I sprint towards Katsuki. The rest of the League surrounds us.

"We still allowed to use our quirks?" I ask, as we prepare, my adrenaline and desperation to escape their clutches spiking.

"Does it matter?" He shrugs. I smile, igniting my arms "This is gonna be fun." They charge at us. Toga coming straight for me with her blades, swiping endlessly.

"Come on, girly! I thought we were friends!" She grunts as she continues to strike. I dodge her attacks, firing at her feet, creating distance between us. She's quick up close. I'd likely get cut. I am charged by Magne, activating her quirk and pulling me in. I can't get away. I quickly ignite the rest of my body as it flies towards her. She swings at me to avoid being embraced by my flames. I take the force of it, it hurts a lot. I fall to the ground, Katsuki quickly at my side.

"Can you move?" He asks, guarding me. I nod.

"I'll be fine." I hiss, ignoring the pain in my torso and my shoulder. He quickly props me up.

"Good, then I want you to-," He stops as a blast is heard.

"HARBINGER!" I hear Shigaraki scream. My eyes dart to his direction, focusing my hatred. He smiles, holding his arms out. "I'm going to make this so simple for you, even your ignorant little friend will understand. Everyday you refuse us, everyday you deny who you are, I'll kill someone. And the last thing they'll hear is how you were too selfish to save them." My teeth clench and my eyes begin to water. I look at the destruction and at All Might as he struggles against that villain. I look to Katsuki. His ready eyes piercing Shigaraki like knives. What can I do? What choice do I have?

"I-," I stop as a huge tower of ice forms above us. They're here? We watch as Iida, Midoriya, and Kiri launch into the air.

"Come on!" Kiri yells, holding out his arm.

"Get on!" Katsuki says quickly. I jump on his back as he launches us off the ground. The blast is so intense I almost let go, but I cling to him with everything I have. He does it a second time, gaining speed as he grabs onto to Kiri. "YOU IDIOTS!" He yells. He blasts us again. Every force of it hits me, but I make no mention of it. We land, sprinting away from the battlegrounds and into the crowds. I let go and bend over, leaning onto my knees as they wobble. Most of my legs bare from the repeated, close up blasts. I know I'm hurt, but the adrenaline is keeping it at bay.

Haze! Are you ok-," Kiri begins to ask before I pull him into a hug.

"Thank you." I whisper, squeezing him, tears falling. It had only been a few days, but I was worried. Worried I'd never get away. Not because of the League's efforts to restrain me, but the conflict I was feeling. But seeing my friends, seeing Katsuki safe makes it all better.

"Hey," He wraps his arms around me. "I'm so glad you're safe." He holds the back of my head.

"Hey!" I hear that raspy voice yell. I let go and am enveloped in another hug. "What did I say about staying behind me?" He says, his voice muffled in my hair. I don't know what to say to him. Do I tell him thank you for also being taken against your will? Do I tell him I forgive him? Or that I'm grateful for his support during the most conflict few days of my life? I say nothing, I just squeeze my arms tighter, ignoring how broken my body feels.

We move towards the crowds, as they surround the large screens broadcasting the fight. It's not looking good. In fact after a major blow, All Might looks like a skeleton of his former self.

"What's wrong with him?" Kirishima asks.

"I-I don't know. I think that's what he really looks like." I say, remembering the day of battle training when I saw him cough up blood. Is he sick? As he prepares to take another blow, Endeavor steps in. He screams at him, likely frustrated that this shell of a human is the one who has bested him for years. Seeing him here now, I wonder if he also knew what UA did. The other heroes came saving the incapacitated heroes and civilians. All For One's body grows ready for another. The crowd cries out as All Might transfers his strength to various parts of his body, delivering a final blow, one so hard the winds changed, defeating him.

Katsuki grabs my hand as the crowd breaks into cheers. All Might stands, pushing himself even further, pointing to the camera. "Now it's your turn."

I think I'm going to end the first book here. It's a decent stopping point considering all the major events that happened, as well as the transition into the dorms and what is still to come!

Go beyond lovelies!
