the training was intense when it came to U.A 

and when you had Mr Awizawa as a teacher, heck a homeroom teacher, it made it even more intense

today students had to master their skills when in a dangerous situation and they couldn't command their quirks 

but for others, it was getting their quirks under control

and for one student that was their worst fear 

tokoyami was skilled with swords, martial arts, anything for hand to hand combat, he had to, his quirk was somewhat of a free spirit that was extremely difficult to master, both at day and night 

at least he was confident to work through the day 

the night, however...not as much 

"ok tokoyami, whenever your ready, stand onto the platform" Mr Aizawa shouted 

the said platform would trap tokoyami in a cage of pure darkness, he would not be able to see, but the others outside would 

"you think he's up for it?" asked Todoroki asked, staring blankly as the bird-headed boy began to walk on the platform, he was accompanied to with bakugo and midoriya 

all three by now had finished their training and seemed to be keeping a close eye on tokoyami, all three were present when dark shadow took over 

all three had their own reactions 

midoriya was terrified, of him and for him 

bakugo was amazed, the destruction and elimination those purple claws could do with a swift hardly even trying

and Todoroki was simply shocked, tokoyami was like him, cool and collected so it was quite a surprise to see him in such a state 

tokoyami was soon sent into the cage of darkness 

it was only a few moments before the screams of rage and terror filled the air 

all three ran over to where Aizawa was standing/moderating the situation 

all had their reasons 

midoriya and todoroki wanted to make sure that his friend was ok

while bakugo wanted to see the large raging monster again 

as they arrived they saw their friend in pure agony, dark shadow seemed to have grown even larger then what they saw in the woods 

"Sir, why does it have to be on full darkness?" midoriya asked as the others looked into the screen in full awe

"This training process is getting you all ready for the worst-case scenario's, and in tokoyami's case, this could be a close first" Mr Aizawa proclaimed 

an alarm began to suddenly ring 

"what's that supposed to mean!"bakugo yelled looking around him 

all students stopped their training and followed the same actions 

"it's tokoyami, his quirk is growing too fast and big, it's beginning to destroy the night cage he said as he readied his eyes with eye drops 

"wait, it's still light won't it shrink once outside?" Todoroki asked 

"the night cage 1,063 feettall, the same size of the Eiffel tower! even if his quirk was to suddenly shrink he would still be in danger of falling to his death" he explained as he pushed a button to release the cage

"so if you three aren't busy I think you should help me out with this" 

all three nodded in acknowledgement

the darkness was everywhere 

all my worst fears 

my anger 

everywhere 

I couldn't tell where I was 

I could only hear the scratching of dark shadows claws on the walls 

I was trapped 

I needed to keep calm 

but I couldn't 

it was too much 

why 

Mr Aizawa knew how hard this was for me 

it didn't hurt physically 

but mentally 

If it got too much I could hurt my friends 

just like last time 

the woods! 

JUST MAKE IT STOP!

wait 

is that light 

yes 

light will stop me 

(using what little control he had left begun to make the rampaging quirk follow his directions) 

"get ready" shouted Mr Aizawa 

all three students had told the rest what was going on and were all ready to help their friend 

a shadowy claw gripped the side of the cage and dragged themselves out 

all stood still in shock

tokoyami's visible features were nothing more than desperation and fear 

no one knew what to say to help, but they didn't need to say anything, they only needed to get him to safety

there would be time for talking later 

dark shadows figure only shrunk slightly 

that meant that plan B was needed

bakugo, Todoroki Aoyama and hagakure were sent to use their fire/light quirk, not shooting them straight at him but around the edges so not to cause darkshadow to escape, but also to not make tokoyami feel like a monster 

no one wanted to think of what he must be going through 

dakshadow was soon shrinking faster, but tokoyami's body was still high in the sky 

so when darkshadow was finally within tokoyami's body fully he begun to fall 

"tokoyami!" midoriya shouted 

it was time for phase two 

uraraka using her quirk caused Mr Aizawa to start to fly to reach him

using his retraining wraps he grabbed tokoyami's lifeless exhausted body and held on tight 

ochacco stoped her quirk allowing Aizawa to float back down 

"Is he ok?" asui asked worriedly as she and the rest of the other students crowded around 

tokoyami was hugging himself in fear, tears falling down his face and body shaking 

he will be, but for now, class is dismissed, I am going to take him to the hospital ward, do not visit him until I give you the word 

all students watched as Mr Aizawa left with tokoyami in his arms 

"let's get the main room ready for an emergency movie night when tokoyami returns," asui said

"I'll get the f!king snacks" proclaimed bakugo 

meanwhile, Mr Aizawa and tokoyami were entering the hospital ward 

tokoyami was muttering some pleas and apologies "I'm sorry" he cried 

"no need to be sorry, I was too hard on you, next time it won't be as dark," he said as he placed him onto the bed and left him to a well-deserved rest

and with the darkness clouding his mind of negativity and fear finally gone he could breath normally and happily as a smile on his beak appeared as he sunk into the comfiness of his bed
