Quirkless Rejects

Training Camp: Protect Kota At All Costs!

"W- w- who are you?" the little boy choked out, shaking in his red cap. Uraraka, bless her heart, had stepped in front of the boy, recognizing the danger. "Kota," she hissed, "stay back, these two are villains." Deku shook his head. "Tsk tsk tsk. Uraraka Ochako, am I right? I saw you at the sports festival. While the man to my side may be a villain," his sunglasses turned angry, "I highly recommend that you revoke what you have just called me." The girl gulped audibly. "Why are you attacking our training camp?"

"WELL," Muscular spoke up, "you see, little girl, I am here to kill someone." He grinned. "And you just so happen to be in my path." Uraraka growled. "I- I'm not scared of you..." Deku stepped forward. "Muscular, I am sure you know that we need Uraraka so you cannot kill her."

"Wha-" the brunette started.

"Of course. I'll just-" The bulking man rushed forward, generating muscles as he ran, and punched Uraraka with such force that she hit the side of the mountain with a loud *BOOM* and left a small crater. "-play with her a bit!" Uraraka moaned as she rolled onto the floor.

Todoroki looked like he wanted to help. "Shouldn't we stop him?" Gavil and Mary nodded. Deku shook his head. "Nah, this actually works out for us perfectly. ... As long as he doesn't kill her, that is." None of them replied, only watched. Still, Deku could feel Todoroki's discomfort at watching his former classmate get brutely pummeled. Oh well, he'll have to deal with it in this line of work.

The little boy (Kota was it?) had tears in his eyes. "Y- you're Deku right? Stop him! Y- you stand for justice, r- right? This is wrong!"

Deku sighed. "Muscular won't kill her. He can't unless he wants to get on the Quirkless Rejects blacklist." Which we don't have... But might start? "B- but he is hurting her!" "Yes, but as he can't mess with our plans, we can't mess with theirs. However..."

The greenette watched as Muscular stood over Uraraka after slamming her on the ground. "Okay, Muscular, that's enough. We need her alive and lucid." Wow, this might be easier than I thought. Lucky.

The overly-bulky man grunted and turned to Deku. "But I want to kill someone..." While he wasn't looking, poor Uraraka, bleeding heavily from her head, had gotten up and positioned herself in front of Kota. "Oh well," Muscular turned to the black-haired kid. "I'll just have to kill-" he stopped when he saw Uraraka. Muscular laughed boldly. "You really still want to fight? What can you do?!"

She ignored him. "Stay behind me, Kota."

"W- what?" He stepped forward. "What are you-"

"STAY BACK!" She screamed with more force than Deku thought that the sweet girl could muster. "When he comes... I'll make him float. Then you run. Got it?"

Muscular grinned, muscules forming around his legs. SUCK! Deku stepped forward.

"W- why?! You don't even know me!" Kota cried out. Uraraka smiled softly but with confidence. "Because..."

Wait wait wait wait! Deku lurched forward.

Muscular was faster. He boosted ahead.

"...I AM A HERO!" Uraraka held out her arms, palms open. As soon as Muscular fist touched them, she activated her quirk. The force of him moving forward kept him going. Her arms retracted, harshly forcing her backward. Before she fell to the ground, Uraraka pushed forward, hauling the oversized man over her shoulder and into the air. The fell to the ground with such force that yet another crater was left under her.

"What the hell did you do little girl?!" screamed Muscular as he floated above the forest, off of the cliff. Deku stopped and stared. Uraraka's was breathing was ragged but she wasn't done yet. She lifted her hands above her head and pressed her fingertips together.

"R- release!" Muscular screamed as he suddenly plummeted down into the forest below him.

Phew! Deku let out a sigh of relief.

Uraraka's arms flopped down beside her. Kota crouched beside her, tears streaming from his eyes. "W- wh- why...?" She raised one arm and patted the kid on his head. "I- I'm a hero... That's why." She struggled to get up. Kota tried to keep her down. "No, you need help!" She shook her head, obviously regretting the action, before stumbling to her feet. "Deku... Let Kota go..." she huffed. Deku's sunglasses shown happy. "Of course! We only want you, Ochako Uraraka." She glared. "What do you want me for?"

"We just want to talk. Of course, if you don't agree to come I could always kill the boy." Both Uraraka and Kota tensed. "I won't let you..." the brunette growled. His sunglasses went angry. "Do you really think that you could fight me and still promise the boys safety as you are now?"

Uraraka paused.

Deku checked the watch on his wrist. "We have an agenda, you know? You have one minute to decide." Uraraka looked down at Kota. "D- don't do it!" the little boy cried. She smiled. "Kota, go find your aunt." The brunette turned to Deku and clumsily stepped forward. "Let's go."

Deku grinned. "Perfect."

He pulled out his button and clicked it, a warp gate opening soon after. The greenette gestured to it. "Enter, please?" Uraraka looked scared, dazed, but scared. Not without understandable reason. "Fine," she said sharply, obviously trying to keep a strong facade for the boy. Uraraka stepped forward. Todoroki, Gavil, and Mary all entered. Deku and Uraraka were about to go in right after them when something Deku had not accounted for happened.

Kota grabbed onto Uraraka's leg. "Don't go!" Her eyes widened as she stumbled. Uraraka reflexively grabbed something for balance which happened to be Deku's forearm. They all fell through the warp gate together.

The warp gate closed behind them.
