"Who are these guys?" Kaminari asked.
"These are students from Isamu Academy High School. They'll be joining us in the surprise activity I've planned for you all." Mr. Aizawa responded.
Wow, these guys looked interesting. One of the girls standing up there had a snake head! I wonder what her Quirk was, although I'd imagine it was pretty obvious. They introduced themselves to us, Kashiko Sekigai, Dadan Tadan, Romero Fujimi, and Habuko Mongoose. This special activity was basically a survival course, we would be split into six teams of four, one of them being a team of five. I was put on Team A with Deku, Mina, Tsuyu, and Uraraka. Mr. Aizawa led us out to Ground Omega to conduct this special activity. We all were given capture tape in case we managed to defeat any of our opponents.
After a few seconds, Mr. Aizawa let us loose, but we stayed back a bit as we saw others in the distance. I heard rapid fire explosions as well, I guess Bakugo was really having fun with all of this. We moved in closer as the explosions continued.
"So, how should we deal with this? We can just run in and beat 'em all up since we've got you two on the team!" Mina beamed.
"We'll lay low for now and take out the others. This is survival, we don't have to engage anyone, all we have to do is stay alive the longest." I suggested.
Suddenly, pink smoke emerged from the depths of the forest and right towards us. Deku stopped us as the smoke slowly came towards us. We heard a few moans in the distance, the smoke must've caused some sort of paralysis or sleep effect!
"This way! This smoke seems dangerous!" Deku shouted.
As we running, we ran into Shoto's team, "Midoriya, any idea what in the hell is going on?"
"No clue! I'm just as confused as you are. It must be an ability from one of the Isamu students! At this rate, whatever's going on, we need to stick together for now. We can worry about facing off later, this smoke might be some sort of mind control Quirk." Deku replied.
Shoto nodded and we made our way to a nearby hill. Out of the forest came... C-Came...
"Z-Z-ZOMBIES?!?!?!" Mina and I screamed.
Zombified members of our class lingered out of the forest, was that the effect of that pink smoke?!
"Thaaat's right!" Fujimi laughed.
We turned around and saw Fujimi standing there by himself. He couldn't help but laugh at the situation and at our fearful looks. From behind him, I saw Bakugo! He's gonna kick his ass for sure! As the light hit Bakugo, he bit down on Fujimi's neck, he screamed out in fear as he turned into a zombie.
"AAAAAHHH!!! WHAT THE FUCK?!?!" I yelled.
"T-This is just like those zombie movies! You get turned into one of you get bit!" Deku noted.
Shoto put up a wall of ice around us. I heard something come up from behind me from the ice wall.
"LEONIDUS-SAN! LOOK OUT!" Mina shouted.
I turned around as everyone ran, a zombie Momo lunged out from the ice wall, shattering it!
I covered my face and activated my Base Mode, "HELP ME! OH MY GOD!!"
I thought that she was going to bite me until I felt her gently pat my hair. I looked up at her, she had me in her arms but she wasn't going to bite me?
"Alyx! Stay calm! We're going to rescue you!" Deku shouted over to me.
Other zombies started to approach me, I heard Momo growl and groan loudly at them. Her limp arm created zombie-like dolls that she threw at the ground. They exploded in a bright flash of light, blinding the others! I hauled Momo on my back and made a run for it.
"ALYX WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Mina yelled.
"I CAN'T LEAVE HER BEHIND! SHE'S OKAY WITH ME!" I shouted back.
Momo bit down on my neck, I stopped in my tracks, are you serious right now. Any moment I guess I could turn into a zombie, any moment now... I felt Momo's head slump onto my shoulder, I looked back and noticed that she was back to normal! I hurried over to the others who were just as stunned as I was.
"A-Alyx... How did you do that?" Uraraka wondered.
"Honestly, I haven't gotten the slightest idea. I am fucking terrified out of my mind right now." I answered.
I looked over and saw Tsuyu talking to a zombified Habuko, was she actually remembering her as well? My question was shortly answered after Aoyama bit Tsuyu, turning her into a zombie!
"G-GAAAAHH!!" We all screamed.
"FEAR NOT! HERE I COME!" All Might boomed.
"That voice... It's...!" Deku beamed.
"THAT'S RIGHT! I AM HERE!" All Might chuckled.
He landed on the ground with a huge cloud of dust. All Might wasn't in that muscle form of his! Uraraka and Mina screamed as they thought that some random stranger turned into a zombie. We all ran into a nearby cave where we kept quiet to try and outlast these zombies.
"Midoriya, how long do you think this zombification Quirk lasts?" Shoto questioned.
"I'm not sure, the gas was clearing away so, maybe once the gas has fully disappeared? I've been having a bad feeling this entire time, most zombie movies that I've seen don't exactly end well." He responded.
"H-Hey! Don't say that! I'm scared enough as it is." Mina whined.
We stayed quiet for a while, hoping that they wouldn't find us. I stayed in the back with Momo as she was regaining consciousness. We heard the groans and scratchings of the zombies on the other side of Shoto's ice wall.
"A-Alyx...? What's going on?" Momo groggily asked.
"It's a lot to explain, you were hit by a zombification Quirk that turned you into a zombie. You bit me then turned back into a human." I explained.
As the zombie's grew closer, I left Momo's side and made my way over to Deku and Shoto.
"I have an idea, this might be able to take those zombies out, it's a move I've been reading up on for a while now. Deku-kun, I'll need you to use that flick attack you do. Shoto-san, get ready with your flames, just in case." I told them.
Deku nodded and held his arm out towards the wall of ice. I went into my Base Mode as I held my hands to my side.
"Ka... Me... Ha... Me..." I muttered.
Deku did his flick attack right as I unleashed my attack, "HAAA!!!"
Our combined attack ripped through Shoto's wall of ice! My eyes widened as I saw that everyone was back to normal, but were sent flying through the air! What really made me afraid was Bakugo's devilish cackle.
"So, that's how it is?! Alright, fuckers, get ready!!" He roared.
"N-NO! WAIT! Y-YOU HAVE IT ALL WRONG!" Deku shouted.
I watched as Bakugo rapidly approached Deku and I with a gleam of hatred in his eyes. A giant explosion got closer and closer to us.
"Fuck." I sighed.
[Several Hours Later...]
"You know, I would've loved to be a zombie if I knew that I'd prevent myself from being nearly killed." I admitted.
Deku and I sat in Recovery Girl's office completely bandaged up and in a full body cast. This was the only time I actually felt like lashing out in violence against someone.
"At least Kacchan didn't mess up your face." Deku spoke up.
"Do you think that cake will help?" All Might asked.
"A-All Might... I can't eat." Deku sniffled.
I looked at the box that he had, "What kind of cake is it?"
"Chocolate, would you like some, Young Leonidus?" All Might answered.
"Yes, I would." I replied.
All Might fed me bits of chocolate cake, something I never thought would ever happen to me.
"Hey... Deku-kun... This cake... Is pretty good." I noted while eating.
"Are you mocking me?" He questioned.
I started to laugh but coughed up blood instead, I heard Deku start to laugh at my pain. I tried to move towards him.
"I swear to fuck, I swear to FUCK I will hurt you." I threatened.
"*Cough* Sports Festival *Cough*" Deku quickly responded.
Overdrive flared from my scar as I lightly laughed, "Alright, now that's crossing the line, buddy!"
He laughed with me, All Might set the cake aside as Recovery Girl walked in, we stopped laughing and settled down. She came over to the both of us and healed us up. I started to feel as good as new! Recovery Girl took the cast off of me then Deku, she dismissed us after one last, quick heal.
"Thank you, Recovery Girl!" Izuku and I bowed.
"No problem, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, I've got a feeling that I'll be seeing you two in here often." She smiled.
We left her office with All Might, I bet my parents were wondering where I was at. My body was still aching but at least I can walk on my own. Once I get home, I'm definitely passing out!
[30 Minutes Later...]
I laid there, spread out on my bed, I got home just in time for dinner. I heard a knock on my door, Annie walked in with an envelope.
"Hey, I've got something for you, it's not another fine either." Annie announced.
I sat up and caught the envelope before she left my room. There wasn't an address on the envelope, so someone must've walked by and dropped it in our mailbox. I opened it up, it was a note of some kind. It was neatly written in pen, it read:
"Dear Alyx Leonidus,
I've been meaning to give you this but I wasn't sure how to. My feelings for you are greater than what I can express on paper, or even begin to describe to you in person. I know it's cowardly to hide behind a note, but I'm just so nervous that you don't feel the same. I think I've been talking to other people about it and they've been telling me that I should just go for it. I think I'm going to confess to you soon. Keyword: I think. That is if I can get over being a scaredy-cat because of it. I honestly do love you though!
Love,
Eight Million."
The note honestly made me blush, but who in the hell was "Eight Million"? Did I attract the attention of some younger Pro Hero from the news? Unless it was a prank from Kirishima, since he was the only one that knew where I lived. I put the envelope in my nightstand, I'm sure I'll figure it out one of these days.
