The boys walk out of their cabin to find the girls already waiting.

"So, what's the whole deal with this 'find your food' thing huh?" Bakugo scowls at the man and woman.

"It's your first task! You all need to work together to find your dinner, and then you need to cook it as well! The only hint I'll give you is that you should probably check your dorms got clues. Your teachers dorm is off limits! Have fun!"

And with that, the man puts is hand on the lady's shoulder, and they both vanish into thin air.

"Right, well, I'm going to put a jumper on first, because it's gonna get cold tonight," Kami announces, marching right back into the boys dorm.

Everyone retreats into their own dorms, and everyone starts searching.

"I'll look under the bed," Sero offers in the boys dorms.

"I'll check the mattresses," Kirishima adds.

Eventually everyone has something that they're searching through, until Mina pops her head through the door.

"Uhh boys? Bad news." The cabin gives her their undivided attention.

"I don't think it's find the food. I think it's fine your own food," she says, waving a small book through the doorway. Bakugo snatches it out of her hand and flicks through it as everyone crowds around him, before groaning.

"How in the damn hell are we supposed to find any of these!" He shouts, shoving the book at the nearest person, which just happened to be Kaminari. He flicks through it considerably slower.

"Hey, I actually remember seeing these along the track here," he says, pointing to a plant labelled as edible in the book.

"And I think I saw some of the other ones as well," Kirishima says.

"Then go get them dumbasses!!"

The two boys hurry out of the cabin to find Mina and the girls there.

"Kami, Kiri! Did you recognise any of the plants?!" Mina asks.

"Uhh, Yeah there were two of them that we remembered seeing."

"Great! We could recognise about 6 or 7, but we thought the boys might know some as well. Could you get koda as well? And tell them to light a fire while we're all gone."

They just stare at her blankly.

"Well go on! Get going! If you take too long we'll run out of daylight!"

They hurry back to the boys cabin to relay her order.

"It's literally half past twelve and Mina thinks we could run out of daylight. How long is this gonna take?!" Kaminari complains to Kiri.

"A while, apparently."

They grab koda, and the other boys follow them out to start setting up the campsite and fire.

"Alright, let's go!" Mina beckons the towards the track.

"The other girls left already! Come on!"

The three boys hurry over to Mina.

"Ok, look around for any of the plants. I've got the book here."

As they walk along the track, Mina offers to go ahead with koda to try and find some animals that could help them with edible plants, while Kiri and Kami stay behind and look through the foliage more thoroughly, and they agree.

"Here's a basket that momo made, use it to carry anything to you find."

So then it's just the two of them. The first plant they find, they almost rip the whole thing straight of the ground in excitement.

"Wait, kami, we need to double check in the book first," he says, flipping to the page of the plant.

"Well, it's the right plant! But the only edible bit is... the roots."

They look down at the small plant that only reaches up to their knees. Kaminari leans down and pulls the plant up, pulling the roots out with it.

"Aw man! The roots are like noodles as well! How many of these are we gonna have to find!?"

"A lot," Kiri responds.

They keep going through the bush. Eventually, they decided to each walk a couple of metres from the path on each side, in order to cover more ground.

"Hey Kiri! I found some more of the root stuff!" Kaminari yells, bending over to pull the plant up.

"Cool, just chuck it over here!" Kiri calls back.

Kaminari pulls the roots off the plant, balls them up tightly, then stands up and pulls his arm back to throw it. But then he sees the looming shadow standing behind Kirishima.

"Watch out!" He shouts, but it's too late. Kirishima is turning around when the shadow enters the light and pulls out his claws, throwing Kiri down to the ground and leaving three deep gashed in his arm in the process.

Thinking quickly, Kaminari starts back if away. He could use his electricity, but he doesn't want to hit Kiri. He remembered what Mr Aizawa said to him during training.

"Your quirk is extremely strong Kaminari. That's why it's so difficult for you to handle. But you need to remember that it only takes 50 volts to kill a person, and you max out at 1 million. So regulate yourself."

But what about Kiri?

Did rock conduct electricity?

It was his only chance.

The beast was making its way towards Kaminari slowly, obviously confident in its victory.

"Kiri! I need to you to harden!"

No response.

"Kiri please!"

He couldn't see Kiri, he was enveloped in plants.

He could be dead for all Kami knew. But he couldn't do anything but hope he had heard and had turned on his quirk.

Kaminari closes his eyes, and activates his quirk to 500 volts.

The large creature in front of him starts to jerk and spasm, before dropping to the ground. Kaminari sighs in relief, before remembering Kiri in the bushes. He rushes over, and sees Kiri lying on the ground, skin jagged edges from his quirk.

"Is it ok now..?" He asks, and Kaminari watches as in that second, he looses consiousness, and his eyes roll into the back of his head, his quirk deactivating as he does so.

"No no no no Kirishima wake up again," Kaminari panics, still standing next to him. What should he do?

"Mina. Mina will know what to do."

He rushes back to the track and runs down the stairs cut into the side of the hill.

"MINA," he yells. "MINA HELP."

He finally spots her rushing up the track.

"We're being attacked by villains," she puffs, eyes wide.

"I know I know, but Kiri is hurt and I don't know what to do! He's unconscious and bleeding a lot!"

Mina nods and continues rushing up the track past him, and he runs after her.

"He's up here to the left somewhere! In the bushes!"

"Go back to camp!" She yells back. "Tell then what's going on, in case they don't know already!"

He nods and picks up speed, using the advantages of his strong male body to overtake her.

He races up the track, ignoring the burning in his lungs.

Bakugo, he thinks. I just need to get to Bakugo.

In the moment, he only thought it slightly strange that bakugo was the one he was thinking about. Somehow, his overwhelming power represented a strange sort of safety.

He saw another one of the strange creatures ahead. He needed to get past. He only had the energy to release 50 volts, which the creature unfortunately only flinched and, and it brought its talons back and swiped his arm as he ran past.

He flinched in pain, but he still didn't stop.

"I just need to get to Bakugo," he huffed to himself.
