Central Tower Part One

After Midoriya went to inform All Might of their decision, all of them rushed out of the lounge, climbing the large stairs. By the time they reached the 30th floor, Melissa revealed that the tower had 170 more floors to offer before they could even dream to see the security system.

" We have to climb that much?!" Mineta almost started bawling then and there.

" You've seen just how tall this building is." Whisper pointed.

" If only I could get outside." Sora looked at the wall as though it would collapse and let her out.

" That would be risky. Plus, it will take a toll on you to reach that height." Pointed Yuu. " We shouldn't be wasting time here." Pushing through the fatigue and lassitude, they climbed as far as the 80th floor before they were dithered by a shutter. As they were considering with to break it or not. Mineta made the mistake of opening the door.

" What did you do!" Whisper for once lashed out at someone other than Yuu. " Now the villains are sure to find out about us!"

" The damage is already done," Yuu said as he struggled to keep Whisper from chewing on Mineta and spitting him out. " We better hurry up before they get a chance at attacking us."

" Then no use tarrying here!" Todoroki stated as he ran past the door. The rest of them caught up, tearing down the hallway surrounding the floor. Sora felt the hair on the back of her neck prickling up and she started looking around. True to her feelings, security cameras were fixed on them.

" What's the matter, Shirogane?" Todoroki snapped when he noticed the girl's feverish looks.

" Don't bother. Hurry up guys!" She said speeding up her pace. Melissa mentioned the second stairs, but as soon as the words left her mouth, all shutters were snapped closed. Todoroki jammed his ice into the last one to keep it open while Iida used his engine to kick open the door to the floor lounge.

" Let's cross inside here!" Iida becked them inside. They ran across the plant factory, hoping to reach the stairs when Jiro spotted the lift climbing up. When Midoriya suggested hiding, Yuu pointed to a spot behind some bushes. It was well hidden and allowed them to watch the elevator. Two people stepped out, a tall man and a squat one. Judging by their clothes, they were the same villains from downstairs.

The footsteps echoed and got louder. The students ducked lower, holding their breath and begging that those two would go away.

" I've found you, you damn kids!" Hearing that, Yuu thought they were done for. But the voice that came after that was the last thing they expected.

" Huh? What did you say, you bastard?"

" Bakugo-san!?" Yuu risked peeking about the hedges to see both Bakugo and Kirishima facing against the villains.

" Why are those two here? I thought they didn't make it in time?" Asked Sora in bewilderment.

" Beat me!" Shouted Whisper as he craned his body to get a better glimpse of what was happening outside. " What are those two doing? Kirishima you idiot! Those are villains!"

Just as the taller one launched an attack at an oblivious Kirishima, Todoroki acted and pulled a shield of ice, but even that was hardly keeping. Todoroki then prioritized getting them away. He summoned forth a platform of ice and hauled them to the top of the metal bridges. " I'll be right behind you after I clean this up."

" Todoroki-san..."

" Get yourselves together soldiers!" Whisper yelled at them. " What matters now is to get to the security system, so we can save him and everyone else! Remember!"

" Then let's move! The faster we get things under control the better!" Sora jumped down to the bridge and made for the closest door. Iida wrecked it down only to find the path from there on blocked.

" We're like mice caught in a bag!" Whined Mineta.

" Stop complaining like a baby! There is no place for another scaredy cat here! Yuu is enough!"

" Thank you for your kind words, Whisper. " Said Yuu in a disheartened tone before his eyes caught something. " Midoriya-san, Melissa-san, look." He pointed at a small door on the ceiling.

" Is it a door?"

" The maintenance room for the sunlight system!" Said Melissa as she took a step closer to the edge.

Iida was relieved over the fact that it might have an emergency ladder, but it was thwarted by the fact that it need to be accessed manually from the inside.

" There's still a possibility," Yaoyoruzu told them. Putting her hand to her chest, she created a small bomb and threw it at a vent. It clung to the metal before blowing it off. " If you go outside through the space in the vent, you can use the outside wall to get to the top floor."

" That's right! As long as there's something similar up top-" Uraraka began.

" We can get inside!" Finished Melissa with all the excitement she could master in such a situation. Seeing how cramped the place would be and the height of the tower, Mineta was their man for the mission.

Mineta refused vehemently but a few words from Kaminari and some pleas from Uraraka and Jiro managed to sway him.

" Harem, harem." The boy muttered with a wide perverted smile as Sora flew him up to the door. They waited for a few minutes, trying their best to ignore the raging rumbling of the battle behind them before the door opened and the ladder came down. Sora hurriedly helped them all onto it before joining them. Soon they were inside the maintenance room and Mineta was left glowing as Melissa complimented him.

They continued from there with Jiro smashing every security camera in their way so to keep the villains from finding their trajectory. " Hope Todoroki is alright."

" He has that delinquent with him, you shouldn't worry about him," said Whisper.

" That's right. They're both the top of the sports festival, if anyone could handle those villains it would be them." Added Yuu.

They climbed all the way up to the 130 floor and there was no single shutter closed. That was rather worrying. Yuu couldn't help but feel they were being led somewhere.

" Even so, to get just a little further up...we'll go where they want us to go." Blurted the green head.

He isn't afraid to face whatever obstacles in order to attain his goal. Even though he knows exactly that they might be waiting for us, he is pushing forward with unwavering steps. Yuu noted, watching the back of Midoriya as he ran ahead of him. As I thought, Midoriya-san is so cool.

When they had to go across the floor, they were surprised to find a herd of robots prowling the place. Reluctant to step in just yet, Midoriya and Iida kept watch from the window of the door. But they already had a plan, as the two were scouting the area, Yaoyoruzu created an insulant tarp big enough to accommodate all of them. " Let's go with Plan A, then." Iida nodded his head and Kaminari was flung inside by their class representative, striking the bots with his electricity.

At first, it didn't seem to work and the bots went into defense mode, but the blond managed to overpower them and they frizzled. However, Kaminari's brain short-circuited soon from the strong shock albeit the robots were still functional despite their charred state. " That's cheating! How come they could take that!" Complained Sora.

Yaoyoruzu then created some kind of smoke bombs to jam their communication and all of them partook in throwing those. " Plan B sounds promising!" Cheered Whisper when he saw them running into each other.

Mineta used his freshly picked balls to thwart their advance as they stuck to the ground. " They're unable to move on- they can jump!" Yuu was at a loss for words when some of them leapt over the front rows, still stuck, and made for them.

" Don't dare touch a single hair of him!" A raging blue fire fell before them and the nine-tailed beast flung its fire at them.

" Kyubi!" The girls cheered seeing the familiar fox standing before them.

" What took you so long! Yuu called for you since the moment we knew of the villains!" Whisper complained, flailing a fist angrily at her.

" I'm sorry, but I had my hands full somewhere. A friend of mine had to be put in place." Kyubi lowered her head ruefully before glaring back at the bots. " But I'm here now! I will be taking care of them!"

" We're helping! Let's go, Midoriya-kun!" Iida and Midoriya, who was using some kind of support item in the form of a red gauntlet, joined the fox in the annihilation of the red bots.

Iida made a turn and grabbed Kaminari who was flung midair by the boy's airwave. " Jiro-kun, where are the machines coming from?"

" There's more coming from the left!"

" Then right we should go!" Roared Kyubi as she opened a way for them.
