8 Bit Glitch

Part 6~Water and Electricity Does Not mix

I didn't get a chance to react before I was pulled away from Kaminari and falling out of the sky. Oh no, the flood zone.

Hitting the water hurt like hell; stupid water tension! And we might have a small problem... one I was meant to tell the heroes but never got a chance to, I might not know how to swim- those teachers might have been a little paranoid that I would electrocute anyone in the water with me so no one would teach me. It wasn't like I was scared of the water. Not at all.

I attempted to do the arm movements that Kacchan did when he swam but I failed as I don't actually know what I was doing. I could see my vision fading. My lungs were burning, filling with the harsh liquid. I needed to breathe! The longer I stayed in the water, the worse I panicked.

Okay, I might be a little afraid of the water. But who can blame me? It just soaked us up and made it impossible to breathe, or move, or hear, or do anything. I need to get out!

Before I could drown- or panic some more- something wrapped around my stomach and threw me onto the nearby ship. I coughed up the vile water, some stomach acid coming with it. Sighing with relief, I rolled to the side. "I hate water."

Tsu was leaning over me, a confused expression on her face. "Are you okay, ribbit?"

"Yeah... I just hate water."

"That was obvious from your previous statement."

Letting out a bitter laugh, I pushed myself up to hug my legs. "If you tell anyone that I'm afraid of water, I will personally send a snake after you."

Tsu looked a little startled but returned to her usual stoic way. "What do we do now?"

Looking around our surrounding environment, I could see the many many villains circling us like sharks and of course, the evil, evil liquid. I reached out and picked up the screaming grape, holding him off the ground to stop him running. "We work out a way back."

"You can't be serious?! We should just stay here and wait for the heroes to show up and rescue us," Mineta screamed as I raised my eyebrow.

"Right, Mineta's not a fan, what about you Tsu? You want to get off this boat." I dropped Mineta while looking at Tsu, waiting for her answer.

"How would we do it?"

Smirking I started planning out every elaborate way we could get off this ship that meant I wouldn't have to go anywhere near the water. Tsu might have scolded me a couple of times for coming up with ideas that broke the laws of physics but whatever. I want to get off this ship and away from this evil liquid.

Boom!

Yelping, I jumped to one side and grabbed onto the side of the ship. We were sinking! This was not good! "Tsu, just pick a way off this ship and I'll do it!" Jumping on the hide and hissing slightly at the water, I barely had a chance to notice the tongue before I was flying.

Tsu threw me near the water, making me scream in panic. I was not going back in! I didn't even know I had electricity stored up but I sure found some to use. I might have killed a few villains but that does not matter.

Tsu landed harshly to the dirt as I gasped and glared at her. "That was mean. You are a cruel, cruel frog."

"It worked didn't it."

"That is not the point. I should have slept more last night. I can't deal with this." Groaning, I turned over to look up at the weird bird thing staring at me. "...Hi? By any chance are you a friendly monster?"

Swiftly, a fist came crashing into my ribs. That's not friendly! I felt blood rise my throat as I coughed even more. I wonder what's got this guy in such a bad mood. The villain grabbed me and threw me into the centre.

"Hey... Aizawa," I greeted between coughs.

He was in a worse state than me, his elbow's bloody and muscly and his face looked smashed but at least he was alive. "Problem child..."

"Since when did you start calling me that?"

"Since you stopped listening to me."

I was going to reply but I felt a pain flare in my stomach. A different villain with blue hair and crusty skin had his hand placed against my skin, the flesh peeling off in uneven flakes. He was saying something but I couldn't focus on it. What in the dungeon lair of Webaguo did I do to him?!

Suddenly, the pain stopped and I was no longer near the crusty villain. I was put down with Aizawa, All Might standing over us. Where did he come from?

Tsu wrapped my arm around her shoulder and heaved me up. She ordered me to put pressure on my wound while Mineta fussed over how he was meant to get Aizawa to the exit.

I was looking around previously, attempting to work out what was going on. All Might was fighting the bird thing that broke my ribs while the crusty one yapped and yapped like a small dog.

"He gives gamers a bad name," I whispered after hearing the third gamer pun in ten minutes. Tsu rolled her eyes at my grumble, she noticed my hand drooping and forced me to stay focused. I could tell she was getting worried but I didn't know why? This wasn't life-threatening, just... bloody.

"Dekuri!" Katsuki?

Katsuki ran towards me, worry etched into his usually aggressive face. Kirishima was running behind him, he wasn't faring much better. They were both too serious for their own good.

"Dekuri! You'll be alright," Katsuki reassured me.

"I never knew you cared so much," I teased. Okay, maybe the blood loss is mixing with the lack of sleep and might be clouding my judgement. My vision was getting foggy and everything was blurred.

"Dekuri! Hey, stay awake!" Katsuki ordered Tsu to lie me down and put extra pressure on my wound.

"I'm already awake..."

Black welcomed me and my limbs became heavy.

"Dekuri!" That didn't sound like Katsuki.
