Cherish (My Horror Academia Series)

Chapter 35: Goodbye

Mei waited for hours just sitting on her bed staring at her phone, she texted Izuku none stop and tried to call him but he didn't respond to anything she sent him, "Come on Izuku answer." She said hoping that he would, *Knock Knock Knock* She jumped out of her bed and opened the door as fast as she could, "Izuku." She said before realizing it wasn't her boyfriend but some of her classmates, "Hey Mei were going out to celebrate wanna come." Nora asked, "I'm actually waiting for my boyfriend and were gonna hang out but what are you guys celebrating for?" Izumi pulled out her phone and showed her the news headline 'Jigsaw Plays His Last Game.' "They killed two and arrested one of the jigsaw killers today, no more of living in fear of being tortured and being killed." Everyone started cheering as they headed down the hall to the elevator leaving her just standing there shocked, she pulled looked up the news on her phone and clicked the first video she found, "For years now mustafara has lived in fear of Jigsaw but that is no longer true, today team Idaten assualted Jigsaw's hideout in the abandoned geonosis ward, as you can see behind me the whole warehouse is on fire after an explosion occured seemingly out of nowhere and it seems the some members of team Idaten and the Jigsaws Himiko Toga and Tenya Iida have all parished in the blaze. Meanwhile across town the third mysterious Jigsaw was arrested with the combined effort of Edgeshot the Wild, Wild Pussy Cats, the identity has not been revealed but we expect it will be once police are done questioning him." Mei paused the video and tried calling Tenya but no answer then Toga getting the same result, fear slowly set as she shut the door and walked up to her workbench looking at the picture of Izuku and her together, "Toga and Iida are dead and Izuku is arrested, i'm the only one who can save him."

She pulled out every drawer and emptied in out on the bench then shoved it all into a duffle bag, once she had everything she headed out of the dorms and to the development to get the rest of her supplies from her workbench there, since mostly everyone was out celebrating the dorms were mostly empty so she didn't have to worry about being seen or looking suspicious on her way there but she did have to watch out for Power Loader or All Might since there the ones who probably knew and tried to tell her. Mei entered the elevator and hit the button going to the main floor, "Come on go faster." She said growing impatient at how slow the elevator was. When the door finally opened she walked out in a hurry and bumped into Uraraka who for some reason was in the 1H dorms, "Mei thank god i found you i barely got over her alive in one piece." "Look Ochako i don't have time for this right now maybe later." She tried to continue on her way but the gravity girl stepped in front of her, "Mei i'm not Ochako it's me Himiko." Mei immediatly hugged her which honestly suprised her, "I'm so glad your safe did Iida make it out too?" Himiko started to cry as she reached into a backpack she had on and handed her the blue prints to the mechanical spine she had made for Iida's brother, "He told me to give it to you." She said before breaking out in tears, "I'll avenge him but first we must save Izuku follow me we need to make some babies." The two headed over the to the studio and hacked the security system letting them in, having everything they needed Mei went straight to work on coming up with a plan to save Izuku but she needed answers, "What happened at the warehouse." Himiko sat down on a stool right next to Mei and told her everything that happened the best she could remember.

(Hours earlier)

Himiko slowly opened her eyes as her but everything was all blurry and all she could hear was a constant ringing, she looked up at Tenya who was carrying her in his arms that were soaked in blood and he was limping and bleeding heavily from his right leg but he was still able to move somewhat fast, "Iida." She said barely conscious or aware of what was going on, "Toga the heroes are attacking we got to get out of here can you stand?" She shook her head yes so he stopped and put her down letting her regain some balance and letting him catch some breath, "Where are we?" She asked not recognizing anything in the large room, "It's the basement where we keep some supplies and other stuff like gas and the electric generator that powers everything." Tenya took off this backpack he was wearing and put it on her, "I managed to grab a few things and i put them in this oh and take this." He handed her folded up blue prints before walking over to a cabnit that looked out of place, he opened it revealing a tunnel leading to the sewers, "This way." She headed into the tunnel but stopped when she noticed he wasn't coming in with her, "What are you doing?" "I have to get something before i leave but i want you to keep going just incase something happens, find Mei and Izuku make sure there alright understand." She continued her way through the tunnel but she didn't see him close the door and lock it, He quickly looked around room and found a pile of full propaine tanks that Mei had probably stored there for later use, the sound of running footsteps slow approached him as the heroes finally had found him, "Give up Iida there's no escape." It was Onemu Shinya the current acting leader of Team Idaten but she wasn't alone, she was accompanied by Bigshot and Rocket two other members of Idaten, "This ends here so just give up and no one gets hurt."

Onemu ordered but Tenya didn't give a damn what she had to say as he pulled out a hand gun but didn't aim it at them, "PUT THE WEAPON DOWN!" She yelled, "You guys were all my brother's closes friends." He said slowly lowering himself to the ground so he could sit, "My brother believed in every single one of you and helped you in any way he could but when it came for him needing the help you all turned your backs on him, none of you even visited him in the hospital." He pointed the gun at the propane, "You never cared about him you just used him to boost your hero status, HE WAS NOTHING TO YOU BUT A TOOL AND I'M GONNA MAKE YOU PAY FOR THINKING OFF HIM THAT WAY!" Rocket fired a blast from his launcher hitting Tenya in the arm but not before he could pull the trigger and fired a round into the takes setting off a massive explosion engulfing them in the flames.

(Present)

"What Iida didn't know is that i had went back to help him and was behind the door when the explosion went off so i got caught in the blast but i'm okay mostly." She lifted up her shirt showing her the bandages wrapped around her body, "I'm glad you made it out alive Himiko." Mei said putting the final touches on her baby, she had modified a grease gun into a submachine gun and made some small pipe bombs that pack a bigger punch than a normal sized pipe bomb, "Alright it's a start, got anything in that backpack that might help us?" Himiko reached and pulled out two viles of quirk erasing drug, one vile of the antidote reversing quirk erasing drug effects, some sleeve blades, a Uzi submachine gun and ammo, knives, Syringes and finally home made tear gas gernades. "This is better." Himiko said raising the izu above her head like it was a sword, "Alright let me just make some more rounds and we'll be good to-." "WHOSE IN HERE?" The two heard a voice from outside, Himiko quickly hid herself away in the storage closet while Mei quickly tried to throw everything in her bag, she had mostly everything away before Power Loader walked in and she had to act innocent, "Mei why did you break into the studio?" He asked approaching her to see what she was working on, "Oh i just forgot something i'll be leaving very soon." She said putting her goggles on, Power Loader was going to take that answer and just kick her out but then he noticed the open duffle bag with a pipe bomb clearly sticking out, "Mei is that, is that a bomb? Why did you make a bomb?" Mei turned away from him as he looked through the bag of weapons, "Mei why do you make these things? When did you make these?" She didn't answer him, "What are you planning to do with them?" He slowly approached her but she just kept staring down at her workbench, "Mei just turn around and we can talk all this out."

He heard sniffling as he got really close to the point, "Out of everyone i didn't want you to find out the truth, you were the at the top of the list." "What are you talking about the truth i don't understand." He asked trying to make sense of what she was saying, "When i started my games i promised myself that only if my identity or life was threatened i would take somebody's life but, i just can't your like a father to me." She said wiping the tears from her cheeks as Power Loader put two and two together, "Games? What are you...no, Mei are you, no please tell me this is just a joke." "I wish it was." She said before breaking out into tears while Power Loader didn't know what to say, his best student, his favorite pupil who he cared for as if she was his own child was actually Jigsaw and not a copy but the original. Though he didn't want to hurt he knew he had to bring her in no matter what, Mei quickly noticed that there was a wrench still out and slowly grabbed, "Mei please just come with me and everything will be fine." Power Loader put his hand on her shoulder and she snapped around as fast as she could hitting him in the his face knocking his helmet off, she looked at his face and saw the tears running down his face but Mei knew that couldn't get in her way, she hit him again knocking him out. Himiko came out of the storage closet and looked at the hero laying on the floor bleeding from the skull then back at Mei who was just taking deep breaths, "Mei we need to go while i still have this disguise." "Not yet." She dropped the wrench and walked over to something big hidden under a white sheet and with one pull she threw it off, "Behold the pride of 1H."
