Part 25
(For this chapter, I will put what people say in, but mind that Bakugou still can't hear it and that Kirishima is texting it all to him, I just thought it'd be easier if I wrote it normally \o/, and also, I don't really know anything about court, but I'm also assuming that how they deal with court cases in this universe is different)
The very moment the villains were brought into the room, all hope of being calm through this were gone. The moment he made eye contact with the man that blew them up, he was done. It was game over.
The judge made the introductions to the situation and gave the basic rundown over what they were doing there today before he brought someone up to simply explain and give the entire rundown of what happened that day; that person being Headphones. According to Kirishima, the judge said they would bring up someone on both sides to explain it, to make it fair between them. Their side was first up.
Headphones was obviously nervous, but she held a straight face. She would have to get used to this kind of sh*t if she wanted to be a hero. This was going to be a regular thing for all of them.
"Me and my friends had decided to go to the new arcade a few months ago, it was right by a cafe that we usually hang out at to study and get off the school grounds a bit. That and it was close to where I live. When we got there everything was fine, the arcade was great, we were enjoying it. And then there was a scream. As we are all students that attend U.A. High School in the hero course, and we are all legally allowed to step into such situations until professional heroes are able to help, we leaped into the situation and quickly put our training into motion. We found that a large portion of the wall by the minigolf course had been blown in, we sent Mina and Kaminari to escort several people out of the building, and alert the authorities that something was going on." She paused and looked up to see if she should continue, as she had been talking a lot. Kirishima was dying trying to type it all.
Bakugou rolled his eyes and hit the button that automatically picked up everything they were saying.
Once she had the nod to continue, the purple-haired girl took another breath and started again. "We split up into three groups of two, Mina and Kaminari were already getting the heroes and escorting people out, so Kirishima told us to split up and go in two different directions. Sero and I went towards the back of the building, where the utilities were. While Bakugou and Kirishima went towards the Laser Tag area I think. Right?" She paused and looked towards where they sat. The blonde glanced at the phone to see what she'd said and then nodded with Kirishima.
"Yes. They went towards the Laser tag. Though before we split up, we discovered that there were little threads connecting us to each other, and arcade games to one another- anything that was close together, it was connected. And we quickly learned that when these stringers were snapped, they became like dynamite sticks and blew up, sending a shock through us internally, and having the normal effect of an explosion on the outside. We now know this to be one of the 'villains' quirks." She said the word 'villains' loosely, as to be sure that she wasn't actually calling them villains, and that they actually just looked like Villains in the situation.
Kirishima made sure he put that into the message.
"I can only speak for what Sero and I did, I'm assuming someone else will come and fill you in on the other two groups. But when me and Sero got to the back, we found a man with three children. He seemed to be guiding them out of the building. To us, it looked like he was kidnapping innocent children who had been enjoying the arcade, so we questioned him. I'm sorry I don't know their names, but it was another one of the 'villains', and as we soon found out, the kids were also part of that group. They all three had quirks that had to deal with earthquakes. Or tremors. So they played a part in taking the building down. But we weren't able to get a hold of them before the big explosion happened. That's about it from Sero and my part I think." She looked around to see if there was anything else to say.
She was dismissed and then Kirishima was called up. The redhead handed his phone over to Bakugou and motioned to the button that picked up everyone's voices.
Once he was up he waited until it was motioned for him to speak. "I'll just start from where we separated. Me and Bakugou moved to the Laser Tag area, because Bakugou said it was the main support of the building. And we wanted to be sure that the 'villains' weren't trying to take the building down from the start. We soon found that 'Backlash', and 'soundwave' were there. Backlash being the one that caused the massive explosion, and Soundwave being the first to seriously affect Bakugou's hearing. We dealt with Soundwave pretty quickly, and then we had to deal with Backlash. Anything we threw at him, he threw back at us, stronger. So we had to fight him without using our quirks. Me and Bakugou got separated pretty quickly because he saw another villain and went to deal with them. I can't say exactly what happened with them. But I continued fighting Backlash. It didn't take him long to take me down, because obviously he was a big manly guy, and I couldn't use my quirk. I was unconscious for a while and when I came to, Backlash had Bakugou in his arms, and the dynamite strings that Jirou mentioned, the ones that blew up? They were wrapped around him and he was going to die. So I got up and tried to at least get Bakugou away from Backlash, and hopefully keep him from absorbing most of the blast like he had intended to, to turn it into a larger blast, though he still made a second explosion." He explained. "Afterwards me and Bakugou were unconscious and didn't wake up until we were in the hospital again." He added on before he stopped.
"So you're saying that 'Backlash' as you called him, had Bakugou in his arms, and was holding him with the intent of absorbing the explosion he created?" The judge questioned. Bakugou had to glance up just to see who was talking, as the phone obviously didn't pick up on different voices. It wasn't very accurate either.
"Yes sir. I'm not sure if they were aware of it or not, but Bakugou's quirk is to turn the sweat he creates into explosions. So with all his sweat, he made the explosion a lot bigger than it would have been if he wasn't involved." Kirishima explained further. Bakugou huffed a small bit and looked up.
"And Bakugou is this young man that you were sitting with? The one on the phone?" The judge questioned. Bakugou looked up for a moment, though didn't speak, simply looking back down at the phone.
"Yes sir. He's using the phone because he's deaf, and isn't fluent in sign language yet, not enough to understand the interpreter. He only lost his hearing recently, in this exact explosion." Kirishima offered. The judge nodded and looked to the other side of the room to where the 'Villains' sat, and motioned for them to come up and tell their half of the story.
Now that Bakugou was looking at them... something was off. The driver- the one that made illusions... She looked strained, and like she was about to cry. The man next to her, the sore handsy one... he was hiding her almost.
No. F*ck no.
"Kirishima." Bakugou said firmly, obviously gaining the attention of most of the people in the room. The blonde's gaze moved to the Judge. "Sir- is there anything on them preventing them from using their quirks?" He asked openly as he motioned to the villains. "I can't hear your answer but if the object was metal- you guys f*cked up. She's using her quirk right now." He said, wanting to justify his next action.
Which was- he launched himself towards her and kicked her chest. The illusion faded, it seemed she had created the illusion for so many people so well because she only changed simple details. They were obviously still in the court building, but most of the villains were /not/ in the same spot they were in before. The only ones in the same spot were the soreness dude and the illusions chick.
They were getting out.
"You f*cking idiots don't know when to surrender. We were going to get you out you f*cking dumba*ses!" He shouted at them. The three kids- the ones he had barely dealt with yet... they were all standing in the hall, between everyone in the door. But there were only two.
The oldest outstretched her hand and for a second everything went blurry, then his glasses cracked and his ears started ringing like insane.
She was sending vibrations through the air.
Then the ground started shaking. The shortest one was doing that.
"F*ck I actually have to deal with kids..." He muttered to himself.
Though before he could throw an explosion at them, Tape grabbed them all with his quirk and wrapped them up. He looked over to where the other villains were. The invisible girl and knife were both with Kirishima, while Backlash and Silver thread were with Pinky, Headphones, and Pikachu.
Pikachu couldn't use his quirk, if he used his quirk on backlash they were all going to be dead.
The cops were already there but something else was off. Something was wrong.
There had to be a reason they were doing all of this.
They wouldn't try to escape like this would they?
In fact- why had they tried to escape before?
His brows furrowed together as he tried to understand. The day he had his knee against Knife's neck, when they were escaping. Knife had willingly ran back to the cops to get to Invisible chick.
He had thought that at least, because his mindset was on Kirishima, and on that romantic gushy sh*t he was getting into.
But if he actually thought about it. They gave up pretty easily that day didn't they. Almost as though they were just trying to cause a scene....
There was something else going on here. From the look on each of their faces... it looked like they didn't even want to be doing this.
They didn't even seem to be fighting with anger. They weren't even trying to get to the door.
So they weren't trying to escape.
Maybe they were just trying to get one of them out- he looked around him as the others fought and tried to capture them. All of them were still in the room.
He hissed and launched himself forwards, towards Silver Thread, quickly pinning him to the ground, as he had been too focused on Pinky, Headphones and Pikachu to even realize Bakugou was behind him.
"What the f*ck are you guys doing!?" The blonde snapped at the man below him. He could feel the silver threads growing from the man's hands and wrapping around his wrists and hands, but didn't care. He's already blown up once, might as well go in for round two and see if he could take his sight out entirely. Why the f*ck not.
"I see you still have a potty mouth. Seems that you didn't learn after last time." The man answered. Bakugou hissed at seeing his lips move and lifted him off the ground again before slamming him back down.
"Bakugou your arm!" Kirishima called, obviously Bakugou didn't even glance up at him, as silver threads trailed up to his upper arm.
"F*ck this. I can't hear for you to f*cking answer anyways." Bakugou looked up to where Backlash was fighting against now four of his classmates, since Tape had gotten the cops to take the kids and get the quirk cancelers back onto them. "Yo A*shat!" He called to the man as he grabbed Silver thread by his hair and pulled him to stand up, wrapping an arm around his neck.
"Bakugou you're going to-" Kirishima was cut off as he had to duck to dodge another swing from Knife, his arm only came into view when he moved quickly and the dust flew off.
"If you don't f*ck off and tell them what you a*sholes are really up to; I'm pulling these strings and your husband is dying with me. So I f*cking suggest you start talking." Bakugou ordered, watching as the villains slowly stopped fighting back and looked to him, though still didn't let anyone touch them to cuff them again.
Either way, if the strings were disconnected from Silver Thread, Bakugou was going to get hit. His heart was pounding, his eyes could see the court scene in front of him but at the same time he was having flashbacks to that day.
He wouldn't utter it aloud; but he was f*cking terrified right now. There were a lot of people in the building. His friends, his parents were on their way since they were supposed to pick him and Kirishima up afterwards to hang out, and Fat Gum was coming with the Elf boy soon.
And there was Kirishima himself, who had already been through too much.
If this building went down... He wanted to be sure that he would be the only one to get hurt.
Backlash's lips started moving. Bakugou glanced at Kirishima to see what his reaction was, and if there was anything that suggested that they were giving up.
For a moment Kirishima was angry, then confused, and then his expression fell and there was a look of horror. Bakugou's brows furrowed together as Kirishima hardened his hand and punched dust, easily distracting Knife as he turned to help her and the redhead started running towards Bakugou.
What the f*ck. What were they doing?
He felt a sting against his arm and looked to see that Silver Thread had disconnected himself from the strings, and had therefore started the process of blowing them both up.
Though- right as Kirishima got close, Silver Thread turned and grabbed onto the string.
Bakugou let out a scream as the whole string went off at once. Instead of causing an external explosion, his entire arms had a massive shock sent through them.
The sudden wave of pain was enough to nearly make him pass out. He stumbled back, unable to move his arms at all. Kirishima put his hands on his shoulders, trying to shout and talk to him, but it was worthless. Bakugou's breath was shaky, then the ground below him shook, and a large chunk of the wall slammed into his back, sending both him and Kirishima to the ground. He choked. He could barely keep his eyes open.
It hurt so bad. His arms hurt so bad. He wished they were gone. They were pulsing, stinging, any word that could describe what he felt wouldn't be enough.
He could see people running around them as he blinked slowly. He felt Kirishima's arms wrap around him.
His blinking slowed until eventually his eyes remained closed and he fell unconscious.

(Kirishima)
(A few seconds before Bakugou Passed out)
"If you don't f*ck off and tell them what you a*sholes are really up to; I'm pulling these strings and your husband is dying with me. So I f*cking suggest you start talking." Bakugou ordered. Kirishima frowned, he wanted to get over to him, his red gaze lingered on the silver strings that were creeping up all the way to his shoulders, but if he moved, the villains would have an opening to escape. His attention flicked over to Backlash as the man began to speak.
"You can't hear anything correct? Was somewhat pointless to ask the question. But regardless I'll answer, since they'll be here in just a moment anyway." He began. Kirishima's brows furrowed. They'll be here? Who?
"We're simply distracting you until they get here. Seems they've been after you for a while haven't they?" The man smirked and Kirishima's face fell. His breath grew shaky. He needed to get to Bakugou as fast as he could. He punched Dust in the face, knowing that Knife wouldn't go after him if he hurt her. In her distraction, it was easy to just punch her right in the nose.
He took off running and jumped over two rows of chairs before he watched Silver Thread pull away from Bakugou and from a few feet away he could see a vibration go through Bakugou's arms.
That wasn't the same thing that happened before. That wasn't an explosion...
Kirishima punched Silver thread with his hand hardened, then kicked his knee to send him to the ground before he put his hands on Bakugou's shoulders.
"Bakugou! What just happened- g*d, you can't hear me. Bakugou. F*ck. Let's get you somewhere-" Then the wall blew up and a large chunk of it slammed into them, sending them both of the ground.
He tried to keep a grip on Bakugou as villains rushed past them on the floor. When the wall had blown in, a blue wave of fire had followed after, torching the top of all the chairs and very quickly smoke started to fill the room.
A moment later a new face came into view, a smirk written across it.
"We're baaack." He grinned.
The League of Villains had gotten in contact with their villains. And Shigaraki was standing over him.

(Nobody)
Like a dream, everything started going so fast. A moment after the League arrived, Fat Gum arrived with Amajiki, calling in more backup as soon as he saw what was going on. Though before any of the other heroes could arrive, all the villains disappeared, it seemed that the illusionist had been the one to do it, with the help of Dust.
But everyone was safe and for the most part unharmed. They were at least all alive.
Accept for...
"Where's Kirishima...?" Kaminari asked as he looked around, blood dripping from his head.
"He was just there... with Bakugou.. They're gone." Mina spoke up as she started looking around, ducking to check if they had slipped under the seats of the courtroom.
"Kiri! Bakugou!" Sero called out. The Pro Heroes had gone to check the surrounding areas to see if they could find where they were or where they were going.
But there was no answer. The two boys were gone. And so were the villains.
(I'm pulling a Rick Riordan and this is how the book ends. <3 Don't worry, I will be posting book 2 on this post so you don't even have to go to my profile to find book 2)
