Atonement [Bakugo Katsuki]

🤍 Chapter 17 🤍

"Gather together and don't move! Thirteen, protect the students!"

Kimitsuki looked at Aizawa with surprise when she recognised that it was who he who had spoken up with this level of urgency. She couldn't understand what was going on around them – but she wanted to know. She turned to look back at the portal that was opening down in the central plaza.

There was a strange grey-ish haired male who walked out of it first, and Kimitsuki was struck as she recognised who it was. She had seen him by the school – she had run right into him, in fact, so...?

But another man appeared alongside him, supporting smoke around where his head was supposed to be. And behind them came out another person – no – creature with a strange appearance.

"What's going on here...?" Kimitsuki breathed out, watching as more and more people began to appear out of the mist. Her wide eyes glowed as her Quirk manifested. "Who are these people?"

With her glowing dark eyes, Kimitsuki tried to look at them all but her head began to ache when she kept anticipating the movements of so many people at the same time, much less being able to focus long enough to recognise their Quirks. She closed her eyes to calm her senses and do it over again.

"Is this like the entrance exam where the lessors already started?" Eijirou asked. Izuku nervously took a step forward, coming to a stop next to Kimitsuki, clearly hoping to ask about the Quirks.

"Don't move!" Aizawa ordered them once more as he pulled on his yellow goggles, getting ready to fight. Kimitsuki glanced at him. "Those are villains,"

"How did they get in here...?" Kimitsuki whispered as she looked back ahead at the villains. "Oh! One of them has the Quirk to create portals!" Aizawa glanced at her. "The one with smoke as his head,"

"Thirteen and Eraser Head, huh?" said the person Kimitsuki was pointing out, Kurogiri. "The teacher's schedule we received the other day said that All Might was also supposed to be here,"

"The trespassing the other day was the work of these scumbags after all, huh?" Aizawa muttered and Kimitsuki quickly caught what he had said, whipipng back around to have another look.

"Where is he?" said Shigaraki Tomura. "I went through the trouble of bringing this whole crowd, too... All Might... The Symbol of Peace... And he's not here? I wonder if he'll come if we kill some kids?"

Kimitsuki tried to focus on his solitary stationary figure to Quirk but she couldn't do it – she only saw darkness pumping through his veins, and she realised that she was looking at a mutated Quirk.

Much like herself.

"Villains? No way..." Eijirou said, trailing off as Aizawa released the scarf that was around his neck. "There's no way they could get into a hero school!"

"Sensei, what about the trespasser sensors?" Momo asked as she stepped forward in concern, looking at Thirteen for answers regarding this mishap.

"We have them, of course," Thirteen replied. "But..."

"Did they only appear here, or around the whole school?" Shoto said. "Either way, if the sensors are not responding that means they have someone with a Quirk that can do that. An isolated area separated from the main campus during a time when a class is supposed to be here. They might be fools, but they're not dumb. This surprise attack was carefully planned with some sort of goal in mind,"

"Thirteen, start the evacuation," Aizawa said as he stepped forward. "Try calling the school. These villains even had something to counteract the sensors. It's possible someone with radio-wave-type powers is interfering. Kaminari. You try contacting the school with your Quirk, too,"
