20: 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙳𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜
"Stay together and don't move!"
Aizawa's order was what really made Nova feel on edge. He was being serious, something was wrong and he was trying to protect them.
"Thirteen! Protect the students."
This no longer felt like rescue training.
"What's going on? Is it starting already-"
Kirishima asked, stepping away from the group, directly disobeying what Aizawa just told them to do. Nova shrunk back.
The students stared at the large black mass hovering over the fountain. To Nova's horror, people started to emerge through it. One, no two, no five, ten, twenty.
Too many.
"STAY BACK!" Aizawa snapped, his students were suddenly more compelled to listen.
He pulled his goggles on. "This is real, those are villains." He explained, he seemed calm. But there was an edge to his voice.
Villains.
Nova backed up until she was almost behind Shoji. She had never actually seen real villains before-
Well no. She had known her father, but this was different... Right? She shook her head, hands trembling nervously.
"W-what? Real villains?" Kirishima asked, Nova noticed his skin morph, seemingly hardening. "How'd so many get into a UA facility this secure?"
"Yeah, thirteen!" Momo said, stepping towards the pro that was standing infront of them like a shield. "Why aren't the alarms going off?"
"I'm not sure..." The pro said uneasily.
"Someone in there must have a quirk blocking it... Is the whole campus under attack or just here? They specifically targeted a remote facility while a class was being taught... They're fools for trespassing but they've thought this through." Todoroki mumbled beside Nova. "They must have an objective."
"But what is it?" Momo asked.
"Ask her."
Nova felt someone grip her arm. She yelped at the sudden harsh pull of her hood being torn off. "Ah! Hey-"
It was Bakugou. He grabbed her by her hair and tears pricked in her eyes.
Kirishima turned around and stepped forward in shock and confusion, his first instinct was to help her.
"Dude stop-"
"You think it's a fucking coincidence that this happens the same time she starts UA?! She's a fucking traitor!" He snapped, his grip on her red hair was tight and merciless.
Kirishima paused, so did everyone else. Her classmates glanced at each other nervously.
"No stop! I didn't do anything!" Nova argued, eyes wide in panic as she tried to pull out of his grip. "Please I promise didn't-"
"Let her go Bakugou!" Shoji said, gripping his arm. "You're being irrational."
"What do you mean it's irrational?! It's fucking obvious. They couldn't even wait a full week." Bakugou snapped. Nova felt the hand holding her arm ripple with explosions. Even through her jacket she could feel the heat.
"Stop it! All of you!" Thirteen said, turning to the group of students as they began to turn on themselves. "Do you really want to cause unnecessary injury?!"
"STOP IT!" Aizawa yelled. His hair floated and the heat from Bakugou's hand disappeared. "This situation his dire enough. I swear to God if you make YOURSELF a threat to my students I'll treat you like any other villain and immediately disable you. Do you understand Bakugou?!" He snapped, rage flashing across his features.
Bakugou let Nova go and shoved her away. "YOU'RE ALL FUCKING MORONS. SHE'S GOING TO GET US KILLED."
"You don't know that!" Kirishima argued to Nova's surprise. "She could be just as innocent and in danger as the rest of us!"
"Kirishima is right, it's illogical to turn on each other without evidence like this." Iida said, pinching his brow. Though he was still eyeing Nova suspiciously. Like he believed Bakugou's accusation.
Nova's eyes were filled with tears as her heart pounded. This was literally her worst nightmare. An attack that everyone thought was her fault. Hell she wouldn't even believe herself if she was them. She looked incredibly suspicious right now and it made her sick.
"Are you okay?" Shoji asked, standing between her and Bakugou. His eyes looked sad. Guilty. Guilty that he let Bakugou get close enough to grab her.
"Kaminari! Try to use your quirk to contact the school. They've disabled all of our communication devices." Aizawa said once Bakugo complied with his previous order. "All of you stay here, stay together and for the love of God stay out of trouble."
"What are you gonna do?" Midoriya stepped towards him with a worried look. "Your quirk's not meant for combat like this! You specialize in stealth and one on one fights... Not against a group like this."
"You can't be a pro with just one trick." Aizawa said with a frown. Looking almost insulted. "I'll leave it to you thirteen."
As soon as he said that he ran and jumped down the steep steps. Nova gasped lightly, her heart in her throat.
Mr Aizawa was the only one in this whole school who seemed to understand her Other than Shoji. She hated the idea of him getting hurt in this fight. Or him dying. Seeing him run to put his life on the line for them made her realize just how serious and real this was.
Nova didn't have much chance to watch Aizawa's fight.
"RUN! TO THE DOOR!" Thirteen ordered them. The students complied again, no longer in the mood to fight against their teachers.
Shoji ran behind Nova, purposefully blocking her back and keeping an eye out. Not only protecting her from villains...
But her classmates too.
Nova rubbed her eyes so she could see where she was going. How could everything go so wrong so quickly?
She ran with everyone else. She hadn't realized how far away the door was until she had to sprint to get towards it. It felt like the walkway was stretching away from her, like she's never make it.
They didn't.
A dark abyss started to swirl in the middle, separating them from the exit. All of the panicked highschool students were forced to stop in their tracks with wide horrifying eyes as a piller of black darkness rose over them. Turning and twisting like smoke until two yellow glowing spots like eyes were revealed to them.
"There is no escape for you..." The mist spoke, blocking their way. Nova stood panting slightly beside Shoji. Who stood his ground with a glare.
"It's a pleasure to meet you... We are the league of villains." His voice echoed slightly, like he spoke it multiple times so close together it sounded like one voice...
The league of villains?
"I know it's impolite... But we decided to invite ourselves into this heaven of justice to say hello."
The way he spoke was calm and proper. It Would be Almost soothing in a vastly different situation. Now it was eerie. Horrible. Villainous.
"And besides, isn't this a fitting place for All Might; the symbol of peace. To take his last breath?"
Nova's eyes widened. All might?! They were here to kill All Might?? But... He still wasn't here, and Nova guessed if he was in the USJ somewhere he would have revealed himself already.
They were without their symbol of hope.
"I believe he was supposed to be here and yet I see no sign of him... There must've been
Some sort of change in plans we could not have foreseen..." He almost sighed, but Nova saw no expression in his misty face. Only the two yellow puffs of smoke for eyes.
How did they know all of this? Where they were, where All Might was supposed to be? They knew too much and it made Nova's skin crawl.
He spread the mist out, like wings of a bat or some sort of demonic creature of darkness. "No matter... I still have a role to play-"
Kirishima and Bakugou jumped forward. Before Nova or the warpgate could react a loud explosion echoed through the patio. Smoke went everywhere and the mist was out of sight.
"You think we were just gonna stand there while to tear this place to shreds?!" Kirishima asked with a smirk. Like he had won the fight already. But...
But the smoke cleared. The pillar of smoke reformed itself. Like it had no physical form at all and therefore couldn't feel pain... But that couldn't be true, could it?
"You live up to your school's reputation..." He said, his eyes reappearing. "But you should be more careful children... Otherwise someone might. Get. Hurt..."
He said the last part slowly and Nova felt her insides turn.
"You two! Get out of the way!" Thirteen warned. The two boys had jumped infront of the pro, preventing her from using her quirk.
The mist reformed and spread quickly. Covering them all, till all Nova could see was black.
Nova screamed and then suddenly felt someone griping her tightly.
"I'LL SCATTER YOU ALL ACROSS THIS FACILITY! TO MEET MY COMRADES... AND YOUR DEATHS!!"
Everything turned to darkness.
A/N: Normal/Abnormal Bakugou and Legacy Bakugou would absolutely hate each other....
