My Sky Knight Academia - Volume I (Storm Hawks AU)

Chapter Six - Sky Knights United

After receiving the distress signal from the Group Zeroes, the Emerald Sentinels and the Noble Nightingales made their way to the coordinates given to them through the distress signal. Both the Eagle and the Valkyrie landed at an open plains where the Bomber was. Both squadrons soon make their way inside the Bomber to meet with Bakugo, Mina and Sero. As the two squadrons entered the Bomber, Mina and Sero greeted them. 

Mina: Thank goodness you're all here! 

Midoriya: We came here as quickly as we could. 

Sero: Good thing you did. We were starting to wonder if the Cyclonians got to you guys as well. 

Yaoyorozu: What happened?

Mina: We were on patrol when we were attacked by the Cyclonians from the Sky Knight Academy attack. We fought them off for as long as we could. Before we realized, they kidnapped Kirishima and Kaminari. 

Upon hearing this, both squadrons were shocked at what they heard. Midoriya took a look around and saw Bakugo nowhere to be seen.

Midoriya: Where's Kacchan? 

Mina: He's sulking in his quarters. He won't admit it, but he blames himself for what happened. 

Upon hearing this, Midoriya couldn't help but feel bad for Bakugo. He knew exactly how Bakugo was. He knew Bakugo's pride would be eating at him due to the failure of protecting his squad mates. 

Midoriya: How can we help?

Mina: We've been trying to pick up a trail, but every lead we get comes up dry. 

Todoroki: What can you tell us about the attack?

Mina and Sero proceeded to recount everything they knew from the attack. As the Emerald Sentinels and the Noble Nightingales listened to the account, something seemed off. 

Midoriya: There's no way this is a coincidence. This had to have been planned.

Yaoyorozu: I agree. An attack like that wouldn't make sense unless there was some sort of plan in place.

At this point, it became clear that the attack on the Ground Zeroes was planned. Midoriya then began to recall the attack on the Sky Knight Academy and their goals for that attack. 

Midoriya: I think I understand what's going on. They're trying to draw All Might out. Since they failed to kill him during the attack on the Sky Knight Academy, they've decided their best option was to lure him out using leverage. The Shadow Collective are after us because of our connection All Might. 

Ochaco: That would explain why they haven't tried to capture the Storm Hawks or any other squadrons besides us. 

Midoriya: That's why we need to find the Shadow Collective fast before word about the kidnappings reach All Might. 

Iida: But wouldn't it be wise to inform All Might of this so that we have a better chance at success?

Shoji: There's a possibility that the Shadow Collective may have a plan to kill All Might. They know that a direct assault on him wouldn't work so they're using Kirishima and Kaminari as leverage. 

Iida: How despicable! Only Cyclonians would be capable of such horrid acts!

Jiro: We get it, Tenya. But the question is how do we find them? We don't even know if the Shadow Collective plans on keeping them alive. 

Midoriya: We'll find a way, Jiro. 

With that, the united coalition of the Emerald Sentinels, the Ground Zeroes and the Noble Nightingales worked to find a way to track down the Shadow Collective in order to save Kirishima and Kaminari. Meanwhile onboard the Reaper, Kirishima and Kaminari remain locked in their cells. 

Kirishima: We need to find a way out of here!

Kaminari: I tried, Kirishima. I can't seem to find any weak points to our cells and I doubt they'll have the key nearby. Even if we do break out of our cells, how would we escape with all the Cyclonians on board? 

Kirishima: If we can't break out of here, then maybe we can find a way to get some kind of distress signal. Something to let people know where we are.

Kaminari: And how do you propose we do that? We can't exactly get to the terminal without getting caught. 

Kirishima looked around their cell for anything that could be used to send out some kind of distress signal. He checked his pocket to find a communication device. 

Kirishima: Ha! Looks like those goons didn't get this! 

Kirishima then tosses the communication device to Kaminari. As Kaminari inspects it, he quickly finds some issues. 

Kaminari: It's busted. There's no way we can try to call for help.

Kirishima: You got any other ideas?

Kaminari: Maybe if I can rewire this thing, I can get it to send a Morse Code signal that will transmit until someone picks it up. The problem however is that we have no way of amplifying it's strength. Someone would have to be actively looking for it in order to find it. 

Kirishima: That won't be a problem! I'm sure Bakugo and the others are looking for us as we speak!

Kaminari: Let's just hope we can keep it on the down low long enough for them to find it. Otherwise we're screwed. 

Kirishima: Guess we got no other choice. Work your magic, Denki!

With that, Kaminari began rewiring the communication device and managed to get a Morse Code signal transmitting. He then puts in on loop so that someone looking for them would find a signal to track them. For now, all Kirishima and Kaminari could do was wait and hope someone would find the signal and find them.
