The Hope Barely Found

Our Lives... God Fucking Dammit

Momo could only watch in horror as Shinso, Denki, and Jiro fought the villains. Her body wouldn't respond, making her completely vulnerable and helpless. She couldn't move. Tears streamed down her face but Momo dared not mutter a sound. Her vision was going blurry though she tried to fight it.

Shinso knocked out the first villain easily, and a second though that one had put up more a fight. Denki was fighting a lanky guy, while Jiro tussled with a suspiciously high looking dude, leaving a girl and blond dude that Shinso was wrestling with.

Shinso successfully knocked the girl down and brought his foot down on her leg, snapping it in two. He kicked her in the face multiple times, bloodying it instantly. He kept going until she stopped moving and only her ragged breathes could be heard.

He swung at blondie, elbowing him in the side of the face as his head snapped to the side. Maybe a little too harshly cause he collapsed too with a groan.

Jiro was doing well with her opponent, swing after swing after swing, until he held his hands up in defeat and started to beg. Jiro tied him up with some ropes that the villains had brought with him, making sure to do his hands tightly enough to sting.

Shinso turned towards Denki and took off towards them. The villain stood above Denki who was laying unconscious on the ground, bruise around his neck. Shinso swung his fake rock at the villain, and that sucker wasn't light either. The villain went out immediately, but that didn't stop Shinso from hitting him with it again and again and again. Blood splattered onto his arm, but red filled his vision.

Two arms yanked Shinso off of him finally, and Shinso glared at Jiro as she shook her head. "He's done," she muttered soothingly. "Denki's safe."

Shinso pushed Momo gently off of him and went to Denki's side, picking him up bridal style with a apologetic nod at Jiro. "Let's go."

Izuku stood face to face with Kurogiri as he held a gun to his head. They were the only things that had been waiting at the entrance. Next to him stood Shigaraki, scratching at his neck with his hands.

"You can stop this, Izuku," Kurogiri announced. "You know what must be done."

Mina and Tsuyu were a few feet behind him, hidden behind some fake rocks as they were forced to listen helplessly to the one sided conversation, unable to move.

*I have something to do and then I'm gone,* Izuku signed, glaring at the two. *I'm never going back.*

"What can possibly be so important you feel the need to disobey?" Kurogiri wondered aloud. "You were being so good up till now, too."

*Fuck. Off.* Izuku signed this slowly, making sure to make each word extra clear.

"Look, Hizashi promised you another girl already. What more do you want?!" Shigaraki interrupted with a annoyed hiss.

"I WANT HER BACK! THERE ISN'T ANOTHER GIRL IN THE WORLD WHO CAN REPLACE HER!" Izuku's voice shocked Mina and Tsuyu, making them wince.

It also stole Aizawa's attention for a minute from behind them, allowing a villain to land a solid hit against him, forcing his attention back. Aizawa doubled his efforts. He had to protect his kids.

"That's enough. NOMU!" Izuku tensed up and froze as the hulking male slunk next to Shigaraki.

And of course, it was at that moment Todoroki, Kirishima, Katsuki, and Shinso's group appeared at the exact same time. They had been headed to the entrance after meeting up as well before following the yelling.

"Get back!" Izuku yelled, even as his breathing became harsh and the fear paralyzed his legs. It was gone in a second.

Shigaraki's lips twitched into a smile. "Nomu. Again. Kill them all. Bring Izuku to me."
