Chapter Text
Kirishima POV:
I stretched my arms over my head as I walked next to my electric classmate. We had just been walking around the mall, and now we both carried a bag in which we had everything we would need for the summer camp.
"Man, I'm pumped for this summer camp! I cannot believe that Mr. Aizawa is letting us go on the trip despite failing the final." Kaminari said.
Excitement coursed through me as well. "Of course! I was surprised as well, and we will most likely have to do extra stuff but we got this! It will only make us better heroes!" I exclaimed, knocking my hardened fists together.
Kaminari placed his bag on top of a nearby bench. "I bet it'll be tough! But you're right- "
Denki stopped midsentence and froze. His muscles were tensed as though his own quirk was keeping his muscles taut.
"Kaminari? Are you o-"
"That will be my fault." A sharp voice cut me off. From around Denki a figure appeared. She had one perfectly manicured nail on Kaminari's shoulder, and from the spot, a white light had appeared. Kaminari's eyes were widening in panic. I didn't hesitate. Hardening my fist, I launched myself at this villain. It connected with her face as she was flung onto the ground landing a few feet away from us. I placed myself in front of my electric friend. I glanced back, and watched in horror. The white light was spreading. It had already covered most of his body. I tried to grab his arm. It passed right through him as if he was just a light projection. His now glowing white silhouette glimmered for a second before vanishing completely.
"DENKI!" I cried out. Fear flooded my veins, as I stared at the spot he vanished from. My fists tightened as my hardening took effect. My heartbeat pounded rapidly in my ears. I spun around to see the villain still on the tile floor. She casually brushed her long pastel blue hair out of her equally light blue eyes.
"What did you do?" My voice cracked. If she touches me, will I disappear too? My skin shifted to get even harder.
She chuckled as she rose to her feet. "Don't worry. He'll reappear in a few minutes. I just wanted to have some fun!"
People were fleeing and police flooded in, as over the loudspeaker a voice announced that the mall was being closed due to a villain attack. The villain across from me smiled, before turning back into the crowd. "That's my cue to leave. I hope Shigaraki had just as much fun."
She blended into the mass of people the police lead out. I still stood frozen in place. Why couldn't I stop her? I stared at the spot Denki had vanished. He apparently would reappear in a few minutes. What was the point of kidnapping someone for that short of time? Unless the villain was lying. A police officer approached me.
"Hey kid, we need you to evacuate with the rest of the civilians." He instructed.
"No! I can't. Denki…. She made him disappear." I stuttered out. He stopped trying to pull me in the direction of the exits.
"Wait, she?" he asked, "We know Shigaraki was here, but you ran into a female villain?"
I nodded. The ground suddenly lit up white. Both the officer and I froze, looking at a glowing white outline that was rising out of the ground. The Kaminari shaped silhouette stood completely still, until the white glow faded completely. Denki was back.
He had his back to us. I could barely tell it was Denki. First of all, he wasn't wearing his school uniform anymore. He had black jeans on with his normal black shoes on. He was also wearing a black hoodie with no markings. He was covered in dirt. A sound of water droplets hitting the ground rang out in the quiet mall. The officer approached Denki and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Young man- "
The officer was abruptly cut off when Denki spun around. He had a wild look in his bright eyes. He had grabbed the officer's wrist with speed I didn't know he possessed. Two fingers were pressed against the man's temple as a small sparking sound erupted from Kaminari's digits. The officer dropped immediately, slightly smoking from the electric charge. Denki's frantic eyes scanned the entire floor as more police started heading his way. Blood was covering the left side of his body, and what I thought was water was actually blood dripping onto the floor.
"Wait, Den-"
I heard the electrical charge before I felt it. It hummed through the air as Kaminari charged up his body, his hair swirling into the air before he stomped one foot onto the ground. Yellow arcs of electricity sparked out from Denki as it arced up into everybody within a ten-foot radius.
Pain exploded through my nervous system when the charge hit. My hardening couldn't even activate in time. My mouth slammed shut with as my nerves lit up in agony. My vision grew close to black, as spots danced in front of my eyes. It was a way more concentrated burst then I have ever felt off of Kaminari before. It was over just as fast as it had begun. I gasped, looking up from my spot on the floor. Aizawa had stopped Denki. His capture weapon was wrapped tightly around my classmate, who was struggling hard against our teacher.
"NO!" His panic-filled voice echoed in the empty mall, "You won't take me alive! You psychos!" He screamed, and thrashed against Aizawa, trying and failing to activate his quirk under our teacher's red gaze. Eraserhead yanked the panicked teen towards himself, before knocking Kaminari out. Denki sagged to the ground completely limp and bloodied.
Aizawa locked eyes with me, "What happened?"
"There was this villain. She made him disappear in a white light for two minutes." I gasped out, struggling to sit up right.
"Shit." He muttered carefully unwrapping Kaminari. Other policemen who escaped the electric surge attack were yelling for first aid in the background.
"You know who she is?"
"Unfortunately." Our teacher sighed, pushing his slanted goggles onto the top of his head. "Her quick is Parallel. She can teleport people to a parallel universe for a few minutes. At least on our end it's a few minutes. For Kaminari on the other hand, it could have been months, or maybe even years. We won't know for sure until he can tell us."
My blood turned to ice. Who knows what Denki had to live through?
By the end of the night, Denki was in a medical induced coma until his injuries were sure to heal. He had sustained a lot of blunt force trauma on his left side, breaking three ribs, and a punctured left lung. After he had undergone emergency surgery, at least he was stable. Izuku was questioned by the police with his encounter with Shigaraki, and the villain who had targeted Denki was in custody thanks to Mr. Aizawa. Shigaraki himself however, managed to get away. It turns out after interrogating the blue-haired female, villain name Para-jump, had confessed to sending Denki to a parallel world where the percentages were switched. Only twenty percent of the population had developed Quirks. We didn't know anything more of that parallel universe, nor what happened to Denki himself. We would have to wait until he woke up for the rest of the story.
