Eri's room...

Midoriya's POV

Eri-chan told me everything that she had experienced here. From how Chisaki-san abused her and then used her blood to destroy Quirks.

Dad and Chisaki-san...are villains!

Dad worked as a villain this whole time?! So Chisaki-san -- or should I say Overhaul -- is his boss, the leader of this yakuza group!

"I-I'm a monster..." She croaked out, her face clouded with despair. "Because of me, many people die and lose their Q-Quirks... I-I..." I quickly attacked Eri-chan with a tight hug. "Don't say it anymore, Eri-chan... You are not a monster. You didn't kill anyone. Your Quirk is a kind and gentle Quirk...like you." I rubbed circles on her small back  "I-Izuku-san..." Eri-chan tightened her grip on my shirt.

I have made my decision.

"Eri-chan, let's get out of here, okay?" I told Eri-chan, smiling kindly at her. "Will we be alright?" She asked, concern filling her eyes. "We will be just fine, I promise." I assured, ruffling her hair.

I stood up and walked to the door, thinking of a way to escape. I examined the metal door carefully. There was actually a doorknob. I held it and tried to spin it.

Ugh, it is locked from outside...

Shall I kick? I hope my Full Cowl is strong enough to break the door with one kick.

(AN: Izuku is already at over 20% of Full Cowl during this time.)

I ignored that thought and immediately activated my Quirk; One For All. I took a deep breath, flowing the power energy in my left leg only. "One For All: 20% Smash!" With all my strength, I broke the metal door with one kick. I looked around my new surroundings, watching for any suspicious people. There was no one around guarding at all.

"Eri-chan. Come on." I reached out my arms to the little girl and picked her up. I slowly walked out of Eri-chan's room, cautiously observed my surrounding. "I-Izuku-san, I'm scared...what if they catch us...?" She asked while trembling violently.

"Then I won't let that happen. I promise I will get you out of here, Eri-chan." I whispered into her ear. She clutched onto me desperately. I started to run using One For All : Full Cowl 8%.

I thought Dad's job is Personal Assistant of his boss, Kai Chisaki. At least that is what he told me before.

So all this arranged marriage is just to lure me into their trap?! How could you,Dad!

He just gave me away to his boss as if I was one of his belongings!

I only kept running and running but I couldn't find the way out. This whole place was like an endless, complex labyrinth!

What shall I do?! If we don't leave this place soon, we will be discovered--

"Look who we have here, Yu, Soramitsu! Two brats!" A loud voice spoke up from behind me. I shuddered when I heard that because I knew...

We were caught.

I turned around now facing three villains standing before me. All of them were wearing plague mask that I normally saw in The Plague Doctor movie before.

"Who are you, you foolish woman?" One of them, a terrifying bald man asked me with husky voice. I even could feel Eri-chan's body shakily heavily. "Stay away!" I yelled at them as I stepped back farther. The trio were glaring dagger at me as if I was their prey.

I really am! And now I'm surrounded by three predators!

"She has Eri with her... We have to return that kid to her room before Master finds out about this." The baldy stated, his hard stare pierced my soul with fear. "Leave this lady here to me--"

"What is all this commotion here?"

Third Person's POV

Kai heard loud noise of people talking from outside so he stopped whatever he was doing right now, feeling disturbed and annoyed since he couldn't focus. "Let me check on--"

"I'm going too. Probably that girl is causing trouble." Kai cut Hari off.

Kai left his room, followed by Hari from behind. He then saw three men ganging up on two girls and of  course, he recognized them. "What is all this commotion here?" The dark brown-haired man spoke up.

Izuku was shocked to hear his voice coming from behind her. Toya Setsuno, Yu Hojo and Soramitsu Tabe stayed silent upon their leader arrival. "Chisaki... No, Overhaul." Izuku gritted her teeth, despised the man standing before her. Eri was scared to death after hearing the word leaving Izuku's throat. Kai was the man he feared the most.

"Oh, so you found out already?" Hari cynically asked the greenette. Izuku ignored him, still directing a deadly glare to her so-called fiance. "Put Eri down, Izuku." Kai demanded, his eyes staring into hers deeply. "What will you do... If I say, 'NO!'!!!" Izuku yelled at the leader of Shie Hassakai.

The four subordinates of Kai were prepared to fight Izuku when they saw the green sparks emitting from her. "Chronostasis, get Eri back." Kai ordered.

Izuku was about to run away but her body couldn't move. 'What-- Why can't I move?!' she started to panic internally. A feeling of sharp pain shot through her body after a dart pierced her shoulder. "Ah!!" She screamed in pain, unintentionally released Eri from her arms. "Izuku-san!" The little girl cried out calling for her. Hari picked her up and held her still in his arms.

Izuku lied on the floor weakly, her body couldn't move yet, as if she was paralyzed. "Don't...touch her!" She tried to look up to Hari. "Return Eri to her room. I will deal with her later." Kai shot a deadly glare to the poor girl, sending shivers down to her spines.

Hari nodded in understanding before deactivating his Quirk on Izuku. He left the yakuza and Izuku. Her hand began moving again though not much. She still felt numb all over her body. 'I can't use my Quirk... Is this the doing of the Quirk-Destroying Bullet?' she thought in worry.

Izuku's phone in her skirt pocket rang all of a sudden, catching the yakuzas' attention. Toya slipped his hand into her pocket. Izuku blushed at his action. "W-what are you doing?! Don't touch me or my phone!" She yelled in embarrassment.

Too late, Toya already pulled out her phone from her skirt pocket. "Oh, your boyfriend call you?" He said cynically, showing the screen to Kai.

Kai felt annoyed when he heard the word 'boyfriend'. He felt uneasy, and ticked off. He read the name of the caller. "Todoroki..." The heartless leader murmured.

Izuku was clearly shocked. Shouto called her at the wrong time! "No... Todoroki-kun..." She tried to get up but again, failed. "Soramitsu, eat!" Toya threw the phone to Soramitsu. He opened his mouth wide and ate her phone.

"No, my phone!" Izuku cried out, knowing that she couldn't call for reinforcement to escape this hell anymore. "You don't need that trash during your time here." Kai crouched down to Izuku's level.

"And you can't escape from me anymore... Izuku Midoriya." He huskily whispered into her ear, causing Izuku to shed tears.

'Mom... Todoroki-kun...anyone...please... Help me.'

Todoroki's POV

Midoriya didn't answer my call... I'm getting really worried now. Did something happen at her house?

Midoriya, please be fine.
