ENCOUNTER

Location: Mt. Northern Star

Eraser Head and the teenagers opened their eyes slowly. Suddenly a flash of lightning came from outside.

*FLAASSH*

Lightning magic comes suddenly towards Eraser Head. Eraser Head noticed and managed to escape the lightning. Izuku and his friends were surprised to see the flash of lightning.

"ERASER HEAD!!!" Tenya shouted worried.

"I am fine! Prepare yourself... it looks like we will launch a second plan." Eraser Head calmed the teenagers.

"Uraraka-kun!" Tenya offered his back to Ochaco.

"Uraraka, start preparing the spell!" Eraser Head gives the signal.

"Yes!" Ochaco answered.

"That's enough for me to run away from those damn creatures!" Katsuki raised his sword and ran towards the crowd of goblins.

"Kacchan!!" Izuku shouted.

"Bakugou-kun! Come back!" Tenya called out to Katsuki to return.

Katsuki ignored the screams of his friends and continued to run towards the goblins. The goblins were not afraid of Katsuki and ran towards him. They ran towards each other until an instant blinding light came from behind Katsuki and made Katsuki and the goblins stop running.

"With the power of nature... I mentioned this spell, let it happened! Coup de foudre!!" Ochaco shouted the spell.

*FLAASSHH*

After the beam of light dispelled the goblins' vision, Eraser Head hurriedly used his bind cloth to pull Katsuki back and started running deeper into the cave. They continued to run deeper and deeper into the cave until they didn't know how far they were running.

"Uraraka, hold on the light! And you Bakugou, I hope you stop doing such careless things!" Eraser Head pulled Katsuki while running to lead the others into the cave farther away.

"Uraraka-kun, how long can you hold that light?" Tenya asked.

"I..." Ochaco had run out of her magical energy so she was unable to light their way.

"Uraraka-kun?!" Call Tenya.

"I think she fainted. We're forcing her to use too much magic." Shoto said.

"How about now?! We are covered in darkness without the slightest light and behind us, there are still goblins chasing." Tenya asked.

"I told you it's better to beat them up so that none of them can stand up!" Katsuki answered.

"K-Kacchan, stop that. Y-You didn't help us find a way out. " Izuku tried to stop Katsuki.

"HAH?! What did you just say?" Katsuki asked sarcastically.

"Stay where you are, even though we can't see right now, I'm sure we will find a way out." Eraser Head tried to calm the teenager.

After a while, the very dark cave began to appear. Eraser Head and the teenager can see each other again.

"Light? Where does it come from?" Shoto was surprised.

"Uraraka-san?" Izuku called Ochaco.

"Uraraka-kun is still unconscious," Tenya answered.

"Then where is this light from?" Izuku asked.

"Look, the light is coming from there." Eraser pointed at the forked road.

"The light came from one of the paths." Izuku made the situation clear.

"Are those goblins?" Tenya asked.

"But didn't we come from the opposite direction?" Shoto answered with a question.

"Whatever it is, prepare yourself!" Answered Eraser Head.

After a while, the light grew brighter and a teenager carrying a torch came out. He wears clothes like a hitman with torn clothes. He had red hair and carried a torch in his hand to light his way.

"Wow! I didn't expect to have a guest like this." Said the boy.

"Who are you?" Asked Eraser Head.

"Is it possible that he is one of the contestants?" Shoto asked.

"I don't think a competitor can reach this place. Besides that, his words just now indicate that he has been here for quite a long time." Answered Eraser Head.

"Oh, sorry if I surprised you. My name is Kirishima Eijiro! Nice to meet you! This cave is where I live, and I hear a loud noise coming from the mouth of the cave. So I came to see it. I guess you guys made that sound. But that voice sounded like the sound of a fight using magic. Did something happen?" Eijiro asked with a smile and a confused look.

"Kirishima..." Eraser Head tried to answer Eijiro's question but was interrupted by a growling noise from the direction they were coming.

"Goblin?" Eijiro asked.

"How do you know?" Izuku asked.

"I know all kinds of monsters in the mountains. I told you this is my home, right?" Eijiro answered.

"We must leave immediately, there are too many goblins to face. Kirishima do you know any other way out of this cave?" Asked Eraser Head.

"Oh, the way out is where I came from. You just walk straight from that direction. Around a few bends from here, there is a small hole at the top that leads out of this cave and is big enough for you to pass. Take this torch to light your way." Eijiro answered.

"What do you mean? Are you not going to come with us?" Tenya asked.

"How many times must I remind you that this is my home. I can take care of myself here. Go." Eijiro answered.

"Alright, thank you, Kirishima. Be careful there are quite a lot of them." Said Eraser Head.

Eraser Head and the teenagers went in the direction Eijiro came in and continued running straight to find the exit Eijiro meant.

"Eraser Head, are you sure that kid will be okay?" Izuku asked.

"He said this place was his home. And we have no business with that kid. He also said he could take care of himself so don't worry." Answered Eraser Head.

"But I feel something wrong," Izuku said.

"What's wrong, Midoriya?" Shoto asked.

"I don't know, but I think there's something wrong," Izuku answered.

"There! I saw the hole from here!" said Shoto, pointing to the hole.

"Come quickly, the five of us must immediately get out of this cave." Said Eraser Head who ran towards the hole before he realized something.

'(Five?)' Thought Eraser Head.

*GROOOOOWWLLL*

A roar came from the direction they left Eijiro.

"What sound is that?" Shoto asked.

"You all get out of this place first!" Eraser Head ran towards they come from.

"Eraser Head! Where are you going?!" Shoto asked, shouting.

"What happened?" Izuku was amazed by the departure of Eraser Head.

"Humm... W-where is this?" Ochaco began to wake from her stupor.

"Uraraka-kun?! Have you regained consciousness?" Tenya asked.

Ochaco nodded her head and began to observe the surroundings.

"Heee?! What happened? Where are we? Where is Eraser Head?" Ochaco asked, glancing in all directions.

"Don't worry, the goblin is far behind us. But somehow Eraser Head ran back in that direction." Shoto answered.

"Huh? Did he run back? Then... where is Bakugou-kun?" Ochaco asked again.

"K-kacchan..." Izuku realized something.

"Where is Bakugou-kun?!" Tenya is shocked.

"Could it be that Eraser Head returned because he realized Bakugou wasn't here?" Shoto answered.

"I will overtake them!" Izuku ran after Eraser Head leaving Shoto, Tenya, and Ochaco.

"Midoriya-kun!" Tenya called out to Izuku.

"I think we should go back too," Shoto said.

"But Eraser Head said we have to get out first." Tenya's words reminded Shoto.

"Iida-kun!" Ochaco called out to Tenya while trying to stand up.

"Uraraka-kun?" Tenya answered.

"We cannot leave our friends," Ochaco said.

"Uraraka-kun..." Tenya paused when he heard Ochaco's words.

"We must leave immediately," Shoto said.

"OK. Let's help them!" Tenya moves his robot's hand.

The three of them run after Izuku and Eraser Head to look for Katsuki.

Location: Katsuki's Location

(The time when the Eraser Head and the others went towards the exit from the cave)

Katsuki hid from behind a large rock to attack the goblin with a surprise attack. But it was completely dark again after Eraser Head and his friends went to the exit from the cave. After a while, he began to see again after someone lit a fire. Behind the stone, he saw the boy named Kirishima Eijiro standing silently holding a torch he had just lit.

"Hey! Shitty Haired Boy!" Call Katsuki

"Hm? Did you call me? But I don't think that's my name." Eijiro answered.

"Whatever. How do you light that fire? Did you bring a lighter?" Katsuki asked.

"Umm... This fire... uh... yes... I lit it with a lighter haha." Eijiro answered with a nervous smile.

'(This kid looks suspicious)' Katsuki thought as he watched Eijiro from top to bottom.

"Your name," Eijiro said.

"HAH?!" Katsuki didn't catch what Eijiro said.

"I don't know your name yet. My name is Kirishima Eijiro. I'm sure you can hear it from behind that rock. You were with those people before, right?" Eijiro asked.

"That is none of your business," Katsuki answered while walking towards Eijiro.

*WHOOOSSSSHH*

Instantly a fireball flew towards Katsuki and Eijiro. Eijiro who realized this then avoided it while pulling Katsuki who was unaware of the fireball.

"LOOK OUT!!" Eijiro shouted avoiding the fireball fired by the goblin shaman while pulling Katsuki.

"W-What are you doing?!" Katsuki asked irritably.

*BOOOOOM*

A led will be created from the fireball and produce a small shock in the cave which causes the rocks that hang in the sky to fall.

"Looks like the goblins chasing you have arrived. Their attack was quite strong from what I usually see around this mountain. Besides, it would be very dangerous if they continued to attack like that. This cave might collapse because of a landslide from a strong shock like that." Eijiro said.

"You said this terrible place was your home. What will you do to stop them?" Katsuki asked.

"I usually only scare them. I have never killed a single monster in this mountain." Eijiro answered.

"Hah? Then how do you scare them?" Katsuki asked again.

"Looks like I need your help this time. Their number is also very much than what I used to meet. So, will you help me scare the goblins?" Eijiro answered with a question.
