Search & Rescue

Even though Katsuki and Floyd were constantly arguing, they had managed to get the job done, as they had been successful in saving everyone that had been at the bottom of the chasm. They had quickly moved onto the next group as it had consisted of Reina herself, Izuku, Gio and Mashirao. They were quick to get to work, as Reina and Ochaco were down in the chasms helping those that were pretending to be in need of rescuing. One of them was Tsuyu and the other was Fubuki.

"Okay, we're all set." Gio said as he finished tending to Fubuki.

"Tsu-chan, Fubuki-chan, this might get a little scary, but try not to move." Ochaco said to them.

Fubuki nodded her head as Tsuyu replied, "Alright." Ochaco touched Tsuyu as she activated her Quirk.

"Well, here goes nothing." Reina said as she started to focus, shutting her eyes; she activated her secondary ability. Fubuki started to move upward with the movement of her hands. Both Tsuyu and Fubuki floated up till they had gotten to the top of the chasms where Izuku and Mashirao had waited; Mashirao's tail held onto the rope just in case the both of them fell.

"Reina-chan! Uraraka-san! You can let go now!" Izuku yelled down below.

"Got it!" Reina said as she broke concentration, allowing Mashirao to catch her.

"Release!" Ochaco said, putting her hands together, allowing Izuku to catch her. He now held her in his arms, bridal style.

"Safe!" He said.

"Midoriya-chan? Can you put me down?" Tsuyu asked for his attention; he noticed that she had been blushing a little, "This is a little embarrassing. Even though my leg is bandaged, this is wrong."

Izuku's face turned red as he started to stutter as he didn't know what to do or say exactly.

Floyd yelled to Izuku, "Smooth one, Izu!"

Mineta had added, "Lucky!"

Floyd slapped Mineta on the head as he said, "OI, LAY OFF PERVERT!"

"We've rescued everyone." Mashirao said to Thirteen and Josephine.

"Good work!" Thirteen said.

"We're all done now!" Josephine said with a smile, "Props to everyone, even you Katsuki!"

"Shut up!" Katsuki yelled.

A certain group of students of the class, looked at how they were able to handle the situation, and how they were able to use their Quirks to help out; This being Rikado, Mezo, Koji and Yuga. "Huh." Rikado said, "Seems like none of us were sufficient for this kind of exercise."

"It's unfair!" Yuga said.

Ochaco had floated up along with Reina and Gio, as they were seen holding onto one another; they touched the ground gently the moment Ochaco deactivated her Quirk. Once more the students gathered around, as Thirteen and Josephine discussed what they were going to do next. "Great work for your first time training." Thirteen commented, "We still have more battle scenarios prepared for all of you."

"Meaning it's gonna take up our entire day, so I hope you're all prepared!" Josephine said with a smile.

"Well that's just terrific." Denki couldn't help but say as he slouched a little.

"Don't relax!" Shota said to the students, making them flinch, "Class is still in session."

"So let's continue onward shall we!?" Lena said, "Onward to the next scenario!"

The class followed the teachers to the collapse zone where they all stopped at the center of the zone, that's where they started to explain their next exercise.

Josephine said to the students, "Now, you should all be aware, that unlike in the first training, you all must be wary that there are different situations! The purpose of this scenario is to give you all the experience you need in case you are to encounter situations like this."

"The injured could be anywhere." Thirteen added, "And we're not sure what state they're in. So in this exercise five of you will be the rescuers, while the rest of you will have eight minutes to hide wherever they wish. I will select those of you that won't be allowed to speak."

"So it's like it's own version of Marco Polo?" Reina asked.

"No, no Rei-Rei!" Mina said, "It's like a game of hide and seek!"

"In some ways yes." Josephine said, "Alrighty! Let's select our five rescuers! It'll be…" Josephine started to pick with the group, "Eenie, meenie, miney--You guys!" Josephine pointed to Izuku, Floyd, Gio, Ochaco and Mineta; once more Katsuki was left less than thrilled with this result.

"WHY THE HELL AM I PAIRED WITH DEKU AND THE HALF-BREED AGAIN!?" Katsuki shouted, making Izuku shrink at this.

"There's no helping it, besides we're in a Special Issue." Ochaco reasoned.

"THAT SHIT AGAIN!?" Katsuki yelled.

"Just let it go man." Floyd said.

Mineta eyed the girls' bottoms in particular, Reina's included as he started to drool again. "When you carry the victims, you can touch their chest and ass! Is that considered an evil deed?"

"Mineta-kun, you're forbidden to carry them." Izuku said.

"Yeah, I mean seriously." Gio said, "I've barely talked to girls and even I have class."

Katsuki glared daggers at Mineta as Floyd did the same. "You think about going near her…" Katsuki said as he cracked his knuckles, "... I'll blow your f***ing ass up!"

Floyd said with a growl, "Yeah, Grape Boy… Unless you wanna see tomorrow again. I suggest you apologize to the lady."

"AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE THE FUNNY ONE?!" Mineta yelled, "THAT WAS DARK EVEN FOR YOU!"

Reina soon took notice of the looks on their faces as she tilted her head, "Why do you guys look like you're gonna kill someone?"

"IT'S NOTHING IMPORTANT!" Katsuki and Floyd shouted, making her jump a little.

Josephine clapped her hands getting the students attention, "Okay now all of you get to hiding! You have two minutes!" The rest of the students nodded before they split them up into separate groups. Reina turned to her friends as she gave them a wink as she said, "Good luck finding me!" And just like that, she disappeared in the distance along with the others.

Two minutes had passed by as the group of five had gotten ready, just as Thirteen said, "Let the training begin! Good luck!"

"Now try to remember that no situation is strange in this case!" Josephine said.

"With that being said, get to it!" Lena said, "Find those that need rescuing!"

"Okay!" Izuku said, turning to the group, "Let's look nearby!"

"There's no need!" Katsuki shouted, "Follow me garbage!"

Just like that he rocketed off, knocking Mineta off of his feet and leaving his group behind. "HEY GET BACK HERE!" Floyd yelled as he started to run after Katsuki, "I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU FIND REINA-CHAN FIRST!"

"THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ANGRY ABOUT!?" Izuku, Gio, and Ochaco exclaimed.

Floyd yelled back to them as he ran in Katsuki's direction, "DUH! BETTER ME THAN HIM!"

"STOP FOLLOWING ME INKHEAD!" Katsuki shouted.

Floyd shouted back at him, "HEY YOU FIRST, WALKING BOMB!"

The group couldn't help but watch awkwardly as the two of them disappeared, in the distance.

"Reina-chan's right, men are complicated." Gio said, surprising pretty much everyone in the group as they gave him an awkward look. Though they soon lost the thought when Mineta had yelled, "WHAT IS WITH THOSE TWO!? THEY'RE TOO RASH!"

"It can't be helped." Izuku said, "For now let's search for the ones that can talk!"

"Gotcha!" Ochaco said.

"Aye, aye sir!" Gio said as he saluted.

"A lot of time has passed since the fight, so let's do our best!" Izuku said.

"Okay!" Mineta said, giving him a thumbs up.

"Let's go!" Ochaco and Gio said.

The group soon split up, running in different directions as they were quick to get to work on the exercise, despite the fact they were down two people.

-Two Minutes Earlier-

Reina looked around the area as she wondered where to hide as she spun her sword around with her hand as if it had been a cane. She hummed to herself as she walked down the beaten path, watching herself so that she wouldn't trip on the debris that had been on the floor.

"Where should I hide?" She said to herself, throwing her sword in the air making it float in the air as she looked around the area, "It definitely has to be somewhere where they can't easily find me, since I'm one of the people that won't be speaking. But where should it be?"

Reina still looked at the area that surrounded her, looking at all the various buildings that still stood despite how ruined they looked. Reina let out a sigh as she rubbed her head, "Damn it, finding a hiding spot is harder than it looks! I wonder if the others were able to find a place to…"

Reina's words trailed off when she noticed something in the distance; she saw a figure of a woman walk by suddenly before disappearing into one of the buildings. Reina lost concentration as her sword dropped onto the floor.

"Someone's… Here?"

Reina followed after the woman and the boy, forgetting about her sword completely. She turned the corner to where they had entered and saw a ruined building that had been taller than the rest, slanted on one side; she tilted her head curiously.

"I swear, I saw someone go in…"

Without a thought or hesitation she entered the building where she had seen the two of them enter. She found herself walking through a lobby, as she looked around the area. "Hello?" She called out, "... Is anyone here?" She had gotten no answer. She called out again, expecting someone to answer until...

"Rei-chan?"

Reina turned around to the source of the voice but the minute she did the scenery seemed to have changed. Instead of standing in an abandoned building, she instead found herself standing in what looked to be a forest. She heard the sound of birds and even felt the sun hit her face. This only left her confused, as she looked at all that surrounded her; she even felt a tree only to confirm that it had been real to the touch which made her jump a bit.

"Where… Where am I?"

She soon saw something that had been down below the hill on which she stood. She took a peek and saw what looked to be small houses, and she could've sworn she saw people going in and out of places or chatting with one another.

"Is that… A town…? But wait… I was in USJ, what am I doing--"

"Rei-chan!"

Reina turned and saw the boy in the distance, motioning her to follow him. "Come on Rei-chan!" He said, "Let's go play before dinner!"

She saw him run off as she started to follow, "Hey, wait!"

She ran in the direction where the boy had run, and eventually she saw him go into what looked to be an abandoned cottage in the middle of a clearing. Vines were growing around the wood, and posts; leaves were seen all over the windows and it covered a sign just above. Reina stood there frozen at the sight, as she seemed to be hypnotised by the old cottage.

"This place… Have I… Been here before?"

Reina stepped forward to the cottage, onto the porch and towards the door. She saw the door creaked open a little as she had been quick to conclude that the boy with the red hat had run inside. She opened the door swiftly, but the moment she did the scenery changed again. She saw a familiar red color, leaking through the windows. Some of the trees she saw outside were on fire, and she even heard some people screaming. Reina had a fearful look on her face at this.

"Wha--What is this?! Everything was just fine a minute ago!"

She soon became alert when she realized that she couldn't find the little boy. "Huh!? That boy! Where did that boy go!?"

She heard the door get kicked down making her jump. She saw people with deranged looks on their faces as they were covered with blood, practically from head to toe. One went crazy as he looked Reina dead in the eye, "I found it!" He said with his voice sounding distorted, "I found dinner"

"Still hungry… Need meat!" Another seemed to have sung while holding a knife in her hand.

Reina's body started to shake as she stepped back. She even started to sweat at the look on their faces as they held knives in their hands. She didn't know why but she had been paralyzed in that moment as she shook, she didn't even realize that her eyes were of gold instead of her usual odd eye color.

"Those people… I know those people…"

"Looks tasty!" The third said, "Thanks for the meal!"

"Let's eat! Let's fill our bellies!" Another said as he went at her with the knife. Reina quickly thought fast, even though she still looked afraid. She went low to the ground as she ran underneath the man, avoiding the others as they swung their weapons as she ran to the door.

"I can't let them get me! I can't let them kill me!"

She had been caught by surprise when she felt herself step on the side of her ankle, making her fall to the ground. Everything turned black when she felt her head hit something hard.

***

Katsuki had grown tired of yelling at Floyd and just tolerated him as he followed behind him. Floyd kept looking through one building after another as he kept looking for his fellow classmates. Katsuki didn't even bother looking for others as he had just been looking for Reina as he wondered where she had been hiding.

"Hello!? Anybody around here!?" Floyd shouted, "We're here to rescue you!"

"You dumbass! Some of them aren't allowed to talk, you know!!" Katsuki yelled to him angrily.

"I know that, I'm saying it for the people that are allowed to talk!" Floyd said, "You should do the same too if Reina-chan's not one of those people that can't talk!"

"It's not like that's gonna matter, you Inkhead--" Katsuki had soon gotten cut off, when he stepped on something on the floor. He looked and saw that under his foot it had been a sword. He moved his foot off of it as he went to pick it up. Floyd noticed it too as he approached him from behind.

"What did you find?" Floyd asked as he looked over his shoulder, "A sword?"

Katsuki didn't say anything as he removed the sword from its sheath, revealing the familiar faded Chinese writing on the blade.

"Hold on…" Floyd said, "... That's Reina-chan's. But that's weird, this is one of her treasures. She never leaves it behind. Did she forget it?"

Katsuki still didn't say anything as his eyes widened slightly as he looked at the sword. He didn't even notice that Floyd was trying to get his attention as he gazed down at the blade; A thought had come over his head.

"... I keep… Seeing things… Things that don't make any sense to me. First it was me as a child scared of something… Now it's… Something else."

"Hey, piss for brains, are you listening to me!?" Floyd said, waving his hand in front of his face.

"Don't tell me…" Katsuki said in a low voice, taking Floyd back a bit.

Floyd asked him as he scratched his ear a bit, "Huh? What did you say?"

Katsuki sheathed the sword suddenly before he threw it on his back, tightening the strap a little to make sure it stayed where it was. He than ran ahead of him, not bothering to use his Quirk this time. "Hey! Wait up!" Floyd yelled as he ran after him.

Katsuki ignored him yelling at him as he ran ahead of him. In that moment all he could think about was Reina; He had been the only person that knew about what she saw what others couldn't, that could easily frighten her. As he ran forward that's all he could think about. Exercise or not, she could be in trouble and no one would know except him.

"Reina! Where the hell are you!?"

***

"Rei-chan! Run!"

"Someday, you'll forgive me…"

"You're nothing but a freak!"

"You're Quirks not normal, it's not even Hero Material!"

"You're not allowed to play with us, freak!"

"Hey, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"Who..."

Reina slowly opened her eyes with a groan as she felt her head throbbing, as if someone had been hitting it with a hammer. Though as her vision became clear she found that she wasn't in the lobby of the building anymore but rather a different floor with what looked to be a treadmill. She found that her head had been laying on a small slope of ice to keep her head elevated, though that only seemed to confuse her.

"Are you awake?" A familiar voice had asked.

She looked over to her right and saw a familiar young teen with ice covering one side of his body. It was Shoto Todoroki and Fubuki sat at her side.

"Todoroki-san? Fubuki-chan?" Reina groaned. She went to sit herself up, Fubuki had helped her to sit up. "Take it easy, you hit your head pretty hard." Shoto said to her.

"Ouch…" Reina groaned as she rubbed her forehead, "That's definitely gonna leave a bruise later…" She turned over to Shoto, "How was I out?"

"About fifteen minutes." He replied, "Fubuki and found you after we heard you screaming."

"Really?" She said, "Sorry… I must've troubled the both of you."

Fubuki signed to her something, though she didn't quite understand as she tilted her head curiously, "She said 'Don't worry about, you didn't cause us any trouble.'" Shoto told her. Reina merely nodded as she suddenly looked nervous; Shoto had taken notice of the look on her face.

"What is it?" He asked.

Reina shook her head as she replied, "I'm sorry, it's just… I've never realized that Enji-san had kids in his family. I mean you both don't act like him, but no offense, I just don't know how I should act around you two since we don't really talk to one another."

Shoto and Fubuki were both surprised at this, as they looked at one another, as they both posed the same question. Though Fubuki had a lack of words, Shoto could speak for both of them. "You know of our father?" Shoto asked.

Reina shrugged as she replied, "It's one of the perks when your Guardian is a Pro-Hero. I've known most of the Pro-Heroes at UA, some outside of that… Enji-san included. Though… Funny thing, I know Enji-san is supposed to be a Hero, he scared me when I was a girl. What am I saying, he still scares me a little."

"Why does he scare you?"

"Let's just say… He doesn't look at me the same way Shota and the others do. The reason however I'm not su--"

Reina had cut herself off when she realized who she had been talking to, "Sorry! He's your parent! I shouldn't be--!"

"No, it's alright." Shoto said Fubuki had shaken her head as well.

Reina had been taken back by what Shoto had said. Him and Fubuki were both alright about Reina talking about what can be considered negative about their father; one of the top ten pro-heroes in the society. Though she had been quick to draw her conclusion as to why they would be alright with it.

"Oh I get it. I didn't mean to jump the gun there." Reina said, "I'm just used to having someone who is related to a Pro-Hero and getting along with his parents."

"I take it you mean Aihara." Shoto said, "Again, it's alright. Most people would just assume something like that anyway."

Reina merely nodded, this time not saying anything of importance as she sat there in silence. She looked over to Fubuki, eying her scar in particular which she was quick to notice as she went to hide it; She glanced over to the scar on Shoto's face as he had been quick to notice it too.

"What is it now?" He asked curiously.

Reina merely shook her head, "Nothing. Just thinking about something." She said before she had a thought in her head, "Todoroki-san looks sad. Fubuki-chan has that look too. I wonder…"

She took a deep breath before she asked him, "Hey Todoroki-san? If you don't mind me asking… Why do you cover your left side with ice?"

Shoto didn't bother to answer as he sat himself on one of the loose rocks nearby. "You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Reina said to him, "I just thought maybe we can pass the time, until Izuku-kun and the others find us."

"You really are strange." Shoto commented.

Reina laughed a little as she said, "Maybe I am. People already think that me being friends with Katsuki-kun is strange enough. Even Floyd-kun thinks it's out of the ordinary." Reina heard Fubuki laugh a little before she signed something to her. Of course Shoto had translated, "She's saying, 'That's not true. I think you're an ordinary person.'"

"That's nice of you to say Fubuki-chan… But..." Reina said, though she had on a small smile as she started to trail off.

Shoto noticed that kind of a smile on her face, "Hey, what's--"

"Now isn't this lovely?"

The three of them jumped at an unknown voice as the three of them became alert. They practically jumped from the floor as it had suddenly exploded. "The hell!?" Reina exclaimed.

"This is a very nice moment the three of you are having." An unfamiliar voice had said.

The smoke cleared and it revealed to be a tall man wearing a mask and hood over his head; his jacket had been long and in the color of black and his pants were of black too. The only thing that stood out was his white shirt, though other than that he looked intimidating.

"A VILLAIN!?" Shoto and Reina exclaimed, while Fubuki let out a little scream.

Another explosion occurred just behind them, and they felt a whoosh as someone else had jumped into the room with them. "My, my." Another voice had said behind them just as the smoke started to clear, revealing that the man was bigger than the other, and he wore a mask as well, "Three young Heroes, right here for the taking…"

"Two of them!?" Shoto exclaimed as he readied himself, as he got Fubuki to go behind him.

Reina gritted her teeth and went to reach for her weapon, but--

"My sword!?" She exclaimed, only now realizing it wasn't with her, "Where did it--!?"

Reina had been taken by surprise when the tall man jumped behind her attempting to kick her. Reina was quick on her feet as she dodged, though she didn't have time to block his punch. Fubuki soon acted out of instinct, she put her hand to the ground and created an ice wall between her and the Villain.

"Thanks Fubuki-chan!" Reina said to her with a smile, as Fubuki nodded back to her.

"Get behind me!" Shoto told Reina, "Now!"

Reina nodded and did just that as she jumped back; Shoto used his ice to attack the second man, but he proved to be quick as well as he was suddenly behind him. "You're too slow!" The Villain said as he went to attack the three of them.

"Crap!" Reina exclaimed as she went to use her Quirk, but the second Villain went to attack her.

"Gotcha you now!" The second Villain shouted as he went to attack Reina.

***

-At That Moment-

"Hey! Help!"

Izuku, Mineta and Gio followed the voice to an open area, which had been a building that was on it's side. As expected they had found one of their classmates inside the building. "Oijiro-kun!" Izuku said with a smile.

"Found ya!" Gio said triumphantly.

"Hey guys!" Mashiro said as he waved down below.

"Hang on, we'll get you out!" Izuku had reassured him.

Izuku grabbed a nearby pole, as Mineta placed the purple balls on his head, and onto the pole, creating a makeshift ladder. They placed it inside and allowed Mashiro to climb up back to the surface. "That was actually really effective!" Gio said, "Nice thinking!"

"Yeah!" Mineta said, "You really are clever!"

Izuku smiled at this as he said, "I've always thought about other people's Quirks."

"Hey guys!" They soon heard Ochaco say, "I found Kyoka-chan!"

They looked over in her direction, and saw her lift up several debris from the ground with the help of her Quirk, revealing that Kyoka had been in a gap just underneath. "Dang it." Kyoka said, "I thought for sure that you wouldn't find me."

"Alright, that's two down!" Gio said, "Let's find the rest of--"

"EVERYONE!"

"YOU GUYS!"

The small group turned over to the direction of the two voices; they saw that it had been Tenya and Chouko, with Tenya who had activated his Quirk and was running towards them, and Chouko had been flying beside him. "Shoichi-san? Iida-kun?" Izuku said surprised.

"Wait, I thought they were one of the injured." Kyoka said.

"RUN AWAY!" Tenya shouted as he grabbed Ochaco and Kyoka pushing the both of them to the ground.

"GET DOWN!" Chouko yelled as she went to Izuku, Gio and Mineta, shielding the both of them with her wings. A sudden gust of wind blew by them as if there had been a hurricane, making the whole ground shake, and drawing the attention of the other students that had been hiding. Just as the wind settled Floyd came back along with Katsuki who had spotted them just as they got up off the ground.

"Izuku!" Floyd said, helping him to stand as Chouko retracted her wings, "What the hell happened!?"

"I'm not sure!" Izuku said.

"It's a Villain!" Tenya said to them surprising them

"There's two of them!" Chouko said.

"WHAT!?" Most of them exclaimed.

The group looked to the two Villains just as the smoke cleared; they couldn't help but shrink at their gaze, as they stepped towards them. "No way!" Kyoka exclaimed, "What are they doing here!?"

"I thought the police and Pro-Heroes rounded up all the Villains after the attack!" Gio exclaimed.

"Don't tell me they were hiding!" Ochaco said.

"Wait, do they have someone?" Mineta said as he squinted as more of the smoke cleared.

They saw that the second villain had a claw of some kind attached to his back, holding two people. They recognized who it had been when they saw the familiar red and white hair and purple ribbon. "Those are the Todoroki twins!" Kyoka exclaimed. The bigger Villain had been holding someone else by the jacket. Izuku, Katsuki and Floyd's eyes widened when they saw the familiar purple and aqua green hair.

"REINA!!" Izuku, Floyd and Katsuki yelled at the same time out of worry and fear.
