Sirens wail without end, a relentless shriek that claws at your ears. Ash and dust drift through the shattered windows of what was once a classroom, mingling with the stench of smoke and villain sweat. Your class stands frozen in a hallway turned battleground, facing the smirking, dangerous forms of Dabi, Twice, and Toga.

"Todoroki Kunnn~ Save me from the big mean man~!" she coos, her voice sickly sweet. Bakugo's answering explosion shakes the cracked plaster from the ceiling. Iida's arm chops become a frantic, mechanical blur. Dabi watches with a look of detached boredom. Toga licks her knife, eyes gleaming. What do you do?
