10 Ch. 11 - An Almost Unfortunate Fate

May 28. Izuku had nothing to do except just taking a stroll in the city. To let everyone know he can defend himself. Hell, he can even defeat any evil people without holding a small weapon.

There are times where he just laid down on the bed, nothing to do, only just sleeping and such. And it bored the heck out of him.

He had a choice. Just like the movie Spider-Man by Sam Raimi, we always have a choice. And he chooses to walk around the city. He will go back home once it's dark and use his Quirk. He'll do that when if he brought his vigilante outfit. If not? Well, he just go home straight away as if he is an introvert.

His life was full of depression and stress, but ever since Emerald and Mittens came to his life, them by his side made his life shine brighter than before.

As of this day, after feeding his pets, Izuku walked out with the door locked. The keys are in his bag, mind you. Who are with him? It's Mittens and Emerald.

Izuku was holding Mittens while Emerald was following him as they walked towards the bike, with a basket in front and back, that is parked near to a tree within their house campus.

Where did he get a bike? Few days ago, he was inside a bicycle shop, where he would buy one in the future.

His time of thinking was interrupted when a group of black men came to the shop and the civilians quickly judged that they are robbers, and it frightened them due to the group holding dangerous weapons, specifically guns.

As usual, Izuku defended the shop from those bad guys, but those robbers did a major damage to the shop like destroyed cashiers and multiple bicycles, picture frames are destroyed.

No one died, but four persons are injured.

As the police apprehended the robbers, Izuku apologized to the injured persons, but they did not care, because he saved them from an unfortunate death and that is all it matters.

The manager of the shop came and congratulated Izuku for not only saving the shop, but also defended the people that are in it.

As a reward, the manager gave Izuku a free pass to choose a bicycle... for free. If the people are a little moody and jealous, they would get angry at Izuku.

But the fact that Izuku almost sacrificed his life for others, they can't argue that he really deserves it.

What type of bicycle did he choose? The one with a large basket in front and back is the chosen one.

Why? Because there will be a time where he will go out to the beach with his newly found family, that is Emerald and Mittens.

And that time is right now.

There is a secluded place that most people have not found it at the Dagobah Beach, only Izuku found it. With the right outfit, Izuku settled his family down and the domesticated animals played around the beach's sand.

Seeing them rolling around, chasing each other, digging the sand and playing with some shells, it formed a smile on Izuku's face that is brighter than a sun as he put the shades and rested his body with his back on the large cloth with the beach umbrella he bought yesterday covered his whole body, to prevent from getting sunburn.

==Few Days Later==

June 1. Izuku decided to go to the mall to resupply for foods and animal foods. But what he didn't expect was a large explosion and a loud noise of shattered glasses that can be heard from a few feet away. The building was big and obvious that Izuku already know the name of it.

It's U.S.J. And no! Not the Universal Studios Japan. It's the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, a training facility that belongs to the U.A High School.

His Spider-Sense was going around the place. The temptation came before him. Will he ignore it and call the police anyways, or get involved? Izuku was not the type of person that will neglect someone's calling or help.

But as much as he hated to do it, and every life threatening situations are important, he gritted his teeth and went to a nearby public bathroom to change from civilian to his vigilante clothes. He was carrying a bag, by the way. Most of his missions are night, so this is the first time he will go as his vigilante alias under the sun.

An idea came to his mind after changing his outfit. He locked himself in a stall, removing all of his clothes and placing them on the toilet seat.

Finally finished changing, he put his shoes and bag on the ground side by side to make it look like someone was really using the stall.

He jumped over the stall's door and ran towards the fight scene. At the corner of his eye, he saw a boy with engines on his legs and ran away as fast as he can.

Inside Izuku's thoughts, he's sure that the boy didn't run away for his life. Hell, no one is like that, or else they're stupid to save their lives and leave those people who are involved, dead. If they did, they're worse than scums.

Instead, Izuku thinks that the boy with the engines on his legs might be calling for help, which is a lot better, but while he's gone, there's a high chance of villains causing massive destruction in the building... and a possibility of killing those who are inside.

Without thinking any further, he jumped on the roof to see what was happening inside since the U.S.J's roof is made of glass.

There is a large hole made on the roof, but Izuku didn't go. He look at the scene below and he was surprised.

Young people are fighting for their lives against multiple villains. What makes it worse, they're all separated from each other in a pairs of only themselves or 2. Those young people are students.

A scream was produced and it caused Izuku's Quirk is going haywire. He looked at a person who was near him, and what he saw shocked his life.

A girl was tied, both arms and legs, and her mouth was taped. A man in his old age, holding a knife, was licking his lips while maintaining his evil grin of what he will do to her. The old man was about to rape her!

The man slowly caress the girl's legs and ever so slowly, his hands are reaching on one of the girl's breast, making the girl had a terrifying look. She was wearing an outfit that consists of a black full-body suit with a pale pink design down the middle of her torso, two black circles on her chest, and a black rectangle below her waist, running between her legs. There are two more pink patches over her shoulders, both cut off by darker pink armbands that match the thick choker around her neck. She has circular wrist guards, a dark pink handle on the back of each one.

The girl was squirming, knowing that she will get raped and tears were forming on her eyes. She tried to scream for help, but her mouth was taped which is a very bad thing. A very, very bad one indeed!

She only had one thing to do... and that is... to pray. Pray that someone saw her and rescue her, pray for the heroes to rescue her so quickly as he felt the breathing of the old man near her left her... and it traumatized her. She was so scared that she was sweating so bad that so many tears are coming out.

"(Mommy... Daddy... All Might... Everyone... Save me...)" She cried in her thoughts, praying to God that this nightmare needed to end. It was very painful for her. So much that she was about to reach it the state of having... a mental breakdown.

...

"Ack!"

She was so busy praying internally that she failed to hear the glass breaking and the agony of the old man in pain. As for the said person, he received a painful kick to the head and was sent away, ragdolling on the ground until his body hit a tree.

For the kick to the head, it's more of a knockout punt kick. So, who is the one who kicked the living hell out of the old man's head?

That's right. It's none other than Izuku Midoriya in a vigilante outfit. With the angry look on his face finally dissipated, he turn around and stared the girl, whose eyes are clearly and tightly shut with tears.

So many conclusions came into her mind. After looking at the girl for a few seconds, the boy scouted the area and saw no one. With that in mind, Izuku tied the old man, whose head was busted open, with a rope and walked towards the girl after that.

"Miss, are you okay?"

The girl did not answer, making Izuku pull out a knife and started to cut the ropes that makes the girl invulnerable. Sensing the tightness from her legs loosen, she slowly opened her sore eyes and looked at the guy who sliced the ropes with a knife.

"Don't worry, Miss. You're okay. I'm not a part of the villains, but not a part of the heroes as well.

Her sore eyes widen. She knew the guy in front of him. It's the guy from the news she's watching for a few months. But more than that her prayers have been answered. It doesn't matter if it is a random stranger or a vigilante, all it matters is that the vigilante ended her true and very first nightmare as a teenager, and a woman.

"You're... Shadow..." She said, slowly breathing in and out, trying to calm herself down.

"Yes, now hold still while I'm freeing you." Shadow, or Izuku, said while he started to cut down the ropes on her arms and wrists. Finally cutting the rope from her arms, he offered his hand. She hesitated, but nevertheless accepted it. With her outfit covered with dirt around it.

"May I ask your name? You don't need to ask me since you already called me."

"Oh. I-umm..."

"You don't need to be afraid. I'm just your friendly neighborhood Shadow." Izuku said in a friendly tone, somehow trying to joke to ease her. For unknown reasons... that made the girl relax, but the nervousness was still there, only a little as she introduced herself, "Ochako. Ochako Uraraka."

"Okay. Tell me, Uraraka-san. Do you know where your friends are?"

"I... don't know where they are... but... there's a strange portal that... teleport us to... God-knows-where. And... before I knew... I was already fighting that man... until..." She then started to tear up as Izuku looked her with sadness and guilt.

She almost got raped! Of course, any girl or lady would get traumatized by that kind of experience! Remind you, a pedophile for that matter.

If you do not know pedophile, it's a term for a person who is sexually attracted to children. An example of that is the unconscious old man himself.

A large explosion was formed behind Izuku just a few feet away, interrupting her moment to tear up as the vigilante asked, "Uraraka-san, wipe those tears. You know where's the safe place of this building?"

Hearing that made Ochako did as he said for just ten seconds as she stares at him with sore eyes and answered, "It's right there." He looked at where she is pointing at before he said, "Come on. I'll escort you there."

She followed his suit as he silently walked around, avoiding unnecessary attention from many villains that are nearby, but wished that they are not around.

All of a sudden, electricity was spreading around the large, open view, making Izuku and Ochako went down to the bushes. One person was standing, but somehow giving thumbs up while shaking his hands up and down, and having a weird face?

Around him, there are villains on the ground. But there's a large cloth nearby.

Inside the cloth, two girls appeared, but one of the girl's body is exposed, but was quickly covered by the other girl who had... earphone jacks. "It must be her Quirk." He muttered to himself and not letting the girl hear what he just said.

"Kaminari-kun." She whispered out loud, gaining the attention of Izuku, who looked at her and asked, "He's your friend?"

"Yes. A classmate of mine. Those girls under that large cloth are my friends as well." She said, standing up from the bushes and was about to run towards at Kaminari, but was stopped by the vigilante, who grabbed her right wrist and pulled her down.

"What are you doing?" Ochako asked, confused, and surprised of why he stopped her from going to her friends. "Wait." It was all he uttered. Everything was fine until five villains appeared with guns on their hands.

"Oh no..."

"Stay here, Uraraka-san. I'll help them." After that, he stood up and went to the right, wanting to do a silent attack against the villains.

The guns were pointed at the blonde boy, who's still doing the thumbs up because he got short-circuited from his Quirk.

The girls were about to go out, but some of the members' guns were pointed at their direction. They can't do anything but to raise their hands, for they give up.

But that didn't end as Izuku showed up and punched one of the members. All eyes and guns are on him and they fired their guns, but Izuku swiftly and easily evaded the bullets.

One by one, the villains are all unconscious from Izuku's attacks.

"Thank you, sir. Whoever you are." The girl said, whose chest was still covered by the girl who was with her under the large cloth.

"Please don't go out in the open," Izuku said with his back facing the two girls and the boy. He had his own... you know, being a gentleman like he always has by not looking at the girl with exposed chest.

"Yaoyorozu-san! Jiro-san! Kaminari-kun!

The three, now known as Yaoyorozu, Jiro, and Kaminari, shot their eyes towards the girl who was running towards them.

"Ochako! You're okay. Where did you got teleported?" Yaoyorozu asked with total concern that was in her tone, worried about Ochako's safety.

"I got teleported to those forests and... I... almost... got raped." Those last words caused her to look down on the ground, scared that their reactions are the ones she interpreted.

"What?!" The girls shouted, just like what Ochako thought as she quickly lifted her head up and frantically said, "I-I-I didn't get raped, thanks to Shadow." She pointed at Izuku.

Hearing this made Kaminari got recovered from what he did and surprised by what he's seeing in front of them. I mean, getting short-circuit in the brain will take too long to recover, but somehow this conversation made him snapped back to reality and looked at Shadow with eyes wide opened and exclaimed, "You're Shadow?!"

"No more questions please, and don't shout. There's no time for chit-chat. You need to find a safe place. Uraraka-san, can you help them lead to that safe place?"

"Eh? Ah, er, y-yes." She said, did not expect that her name will be called.

"Good. I'm going around to save your other friends. You all must go now." Then Izuku ran away from the shocked trio to save the remaining people around the U.S.J.

"How do we know if he's not a part of the villains?" Kaminari said, doubting of what the person said is not true.

"I don't know, but I don't trust him." This time, it was Yaoyorozu who said that with a doubtful expression on her face as well.

"She's right. Who knows what dirty trick is under his sleeves." Jiro said, not wanting to believe the vigilante.

In short, they never trust Izuku from his words, but Ochako had a different one. She had a concerned look as she said, "Well, I don't know who he is, but he rescued me, and I think the best way to repay him for saving me is, well, follow what he said." She continued. "I mean, sure, he's a vigilante, but from the bottom of my heart, I thank him for saving me when no one's there."

The three were mesmerized by her words. Who is the person under that mask? Why did Shadow save her? So many questions are about to be asked later, but now they need to go to a safe place where their lives aren't at risk.

All they have got to do is to find their other classmates and friends that are near them and lead them to the entrance of U.S.J.
