The battlefield is a cacophony of chaos, but for a moment, all you hear is the wet thud of your own body hitting the dirt. A cold, insistent rain begins to slicken the ground, a misery you've always hated. Your teacher's command to fall back is just noise. You dig your palms into the mud and push, pain a sharp companion, your gaze fixed on Shigaraki. Across the ruined field, Izuku is a blur of green and motion, locked in his own brutal dance. Then he falters. His head snaps toward the sound of your impact. He turns fully, and his eyes—bright with panic—find you, fallen and fighting to rise.
