BNHA self insert AU [Book 2]

Beginning of Book 2 Read here to catch up!

Chapter 12: What Was the Reason?! WHAT WAS THE REASON?!

Currently, I’m about one bad interaction away from slapping the shit out of Toei. He’s improving but not in the areas I need him as a team. It’s July and we’re training at the USJ (aka, The Death Dome) again. Not too excited to be in the dome again.

“...and as for you two,” sensei stood in front of us, assigning areas “You’ll be in the rocky area with the non-quirked villain.”

I sighed as Toei got pumped “Oh boy! We’ll win this time!”

“Whatever you say chief” I was just feeling dead inside with all the easy assignments that Toei could barely survive.

“Miss Iida, can I talk to you for a quick moment?” asked sensei to pull me aside. “I know you’re not having the best time, I see it and I’m quite tired of this low ranking too with your ability. But this is the last one before the partner switch, if Toei doesn’t perform well, he’ll have to take the reevaluation exam. So please hang in there!”

That was some hot tea, I was taken back a bit “Will do sensei, I hope he’s better prepared this time.”

“Alright, that’s good to hear!”

I walk over to the rocky area with Toei, trying not to think of the fuck ups he might do. Instead I make sure my ribbon wands and silk obi were in place.

“Hey Iida-san!” Toei snapped me out of my concentration “If we win this one, I’ll take you out to some DDR at the arcade.”

I narrowed my eyes, knowing FULL well he’s gonna fuck it up “If I say yes, will you put in more effort to actually win?”

Our classmates within earshot reacted to that roast.

“That was ice-cold Iida-san!” “Oof she got you there buddy!” “YES BITCH! CALL HIS ASS OUT!” were some of the things they said.

That roast went over his head “I always put in the most effort! I’m confident that we’ll win and move up this time.”

We get to our zone and the enemy gives us no time to think. Immediately we were bombarded with rocks. I had to think fast!

“Okay Toei, if you can-”

“I’M GOING IN!”

“NO!” I screamed as I saw him Naruto run toward the villain on the higher ground “Damn it! Toei are you crazy?!”

“I got this!” He looked back at me, giving me that cocky smile and thumbs up.

I had two options, let him get rekt on his own so he can learn from his stupidity OR I go scoop him up and tell him my strategy. At first I sat and watched him struggle but then the villain brought out a stun gun and I KNEW that I had to go in for the rescue. I ran and jump high enough to get my ribbon lasso for the save. But at the same time, I got in direct line with the stun gun that was meant for Toei and I got a direct hit in my face. I blacked out after that...

-At a nearby hospital-

Lili was snatched out of the air before her body hit the ground by a USJ staff and was rushed to the hospital. Nobody is sure if that direct hit was lethal or not.

“Oh my baby” cried out her mother as she pushed through the nurses to get by Lili’s side “I was so worried that something like this could’ve happen! Why my baby? Why today!?”

“Be strong Ita” soothed Tenya, also trying to hold in his strong emotions “I’m upset too, but lets not cry yet.”

“Too late” whimpered Iwata as tears rolled down his face “is Lili gonna be okay?”

“Daddy, please tell me Lili is gonna wake up?” whimpered Hanaka, pulling at his sleeve.

“Lili, quit playin’! Wake up!” Oro begged as he shook his older sister’s leg “I can’t look at her like this, it’s so hard.”

Tenya didn’t know what to do or say, this environment was overwhelming him and he couldn’t stay strong. “I-...I don’t know” he managed to stammer as tears fall from his face “What can I do?! Nobody told me it was going to hurt like this! I just want my daughter to be okay.”

Her mother put her hand on Lili’s face “It seems like everything is normal, stun guns cause rapid brain activity. And she’s experiencing that.”

“I was just about to say that!” said the doctor “But it seems like you’ve caught on to the main diagnosis.”

“So what did you find?” Asked her mother.

“To make things brief, there’s no brain damage” explained the doctor as he put brain scans up on the light box for everyone to see “nor brain trauma, thankfully. But we are noticing that her brain is taking a while to readjust, so what will happen is that she’ll have mild amnesia” he sat on his padded stool “So don’t be too surprised if she doesn’t remember you right away, it will go away on it’s own but if you re-jog her memories or have trigger objects that’ll bring back her memories, the better.”

“What a relief” Tenya sighed and wiped his tears “She does take a while to recover from anything.”

“As soon as she wakes up, she’ll be discharged” responded the Doctor “She’s still young and strong, so recovery will be fast. I will warn for her to be more careful next time! She’s fortunate that the stun prongs pierced her shoulders and her mask deflected the other prongs that could’ve been much more lethal.” He stands up “I’ll be coming by again in an hour to check up on her.”

“Thank you doctor” responded Ita as the doctor walked away. She turns to the others “You heard him, she’ll be fine. Now we pray to the higher power for her fast recovery.”

“All Might?” blurted Tenya, serious faced.

“What? No! To GOD!” exasperated Ita “What the fuck is the spirit of All Might gonna do?! Detroit Smash from the spirit world to revive her?!”

“All Might’s spirit can suck my ass!” huffed Oro.

“He can suck a caterpillar dick!” Iwata added.

“Can we not slander All Might?!” chopped Tenya “Your sister is trying to re- HANAKA!”

“What? Oh is it a crime that I found the wheelchair?!” Hanaka sneered as she popped a wheelie.

Tenya pinched the bridge of his nose “This family is so chaotic, I can’t sometimes.”

“Remember when you said you wanted as many children as possible?” Ita sighed as she propped up her head with her hand “And how much you cried when they were born? Is it sinking in how much chaos you brought into this world and raised them?”

“I’ve been aware” he rubbed his temples as the two boys joined their little sister in wheelchair tricks “Curly hair and rebellion may be the dominate traits, but I still love them.” he sighed “Because they remind me so much of their mother, whom I love the most.”

“Aww babe” Ita cooed as she levitated the three kids, preventing them from speeding away with the wheelchair “Love you too!”

The family decided that they wanted their privacy and not have visitors. Instead, Tenya put it upon himself to watch over Lili until she wakes up. Ita had important matters to attend to for her company and Iwata was going to be taking care of things at home. Everyone was concerned for Lili’s well-being, sensei didn’t tell the class out of respect of her parent’s wishes. Pretty much only her immediate family and honorary family knew of her condition.

-3 days later-

“Lili, I’m back” softly spoke her father as he sat at the chair at her side “It’s Tuesday, so mom might swing by for a bit if she gets out early enough for visiting hours.”

At this point, Lili still hasn’t woken up nor moved. So Tenya has just been talking to her in hopes that she could hear him and wake up.

“You know, your mom was also hospitalized in 2nd year. And I feel all those worried feelings all over again.” He leaned on the railing of the hospital bed “I’d whisper my feelings to her and give her sweet kisses, like she’d wake up when I did.” He sighed and stroked her hair “Will today be the day you wake up? Everyone is getting awfully worried. But lets see if you like what I brought today.” He pulls out a book from his satchel “It’s one of your mom’s classic literature novels, Little Women. I read a book to your mom when she was like this and she remembered listening to me reading it” he opens the book “So maybe this might work too...ahem, Chapter one, "Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," grumbled Jo, lying on the rug...”

He didn’t have to read too far into the book before Lili woke up. Eyes watering as the hospital lights were stinging to her eyes, she groaned as she stretched her body.

“Nnnh...thirsty” she hoarsely uttered.

Her dad quickly reached for the ice water on the tray “Here, drink slowly.”

She could barely see the cup and who was giving it to her, but she sat up to drink out of it. “Thank you” she said as she tried to rub her eyes and saw the IV connected to her “Am I, in the hospital?”

“Yes, do you remember anything?”

“I remember practicing in the yard for the summer showcase” she rubbed her eyes with the other hand “and that’s all...wait, did I pass out because of the heat?!”

“No...wait, do you recognize me?” carefully asked Tenya, trying not to scare her.

She looked at him and blinked “Yeah? You are my dad” she giggled “you’re my dad! BOOGIE WOOGIE WOOGIE!”

Tenya breathed out, relieved “Oh you gave me a scare there!” he gets up “sit tight, I’ll get the doctor.”

She waits patiently, a little confused on why she was there in the first place. Her dad ran in before the doctor.

“Please Mr. Iida” panted the doctor “I’m a doctor, not an athlete!”

“Sorry! I was just excited” apologized Tenya “But look, she’s awake.”

The doctor gathered himself “Hello Miss Lili, how are you feeling today?”

“I’m feeling a little sore and woke up with extreme thirst” she explained “But otherwise, I’m okay.”

“That great to hear! Can you tell me your full name, age and your parent’s names?”

“Um sure? My name is Lili Perla Iida, I’m 15 years old and my parents are Tenya and Itati Iida.”

“Interesting, okay” the doctor muttered as he wrote something on his notes “Thank you, now I’m going to explain what’s going on...” The doctor explained that she was in a training accident and her diagnosis “...so while you might not remember everything right now, you will very quickly with the help of your family” he stands up “so, you’re free to go home and go back to school. Just be careful and I suggest a better head gear to prevent more accidents.”

“Thank you, I’ll be more careful” She said as the doctor left. “Dad, what did he mean by better head gear? Dance isn’t a contact sport.”

“I’ll explain more when we get home” he handed her a change of clothes “Here, your sister chose your outfit since you came in with your costume on.”

She change and got wheeled out of the hospital to go home. Lili sat in silence the whole way home, she recognized her dad’s car and the route home. But what’s missing from her memory?

“We’re home” announced Tenya.

“Welcome home Lili” yipped the robo dog “Mom told me you got hurt and I’m happy you’re home safe.”

“Doggie” she bend down to pet the robo “I remember you for sure!”

“LILI!” screamed the three younger siblings as they stampeded toward her.

“Hi” she managed to say before they group hugged her “huh? Since when did you guys...looked like this?”

“What do you mean?” they said in unison.

“I don’t remember Iwa wearing t-shirts this fitting?” she pointed out “And since when did you get boobs Rosa? And the fuck did you do to your hair Oro?!”

“Huh? I’ve been wearing proper wearing shirts since I started middle school” Iwa explained himself “wait, dad, did she forget years of memories?!”

“I’m afraid so” Tenya responded “She doesn’t remember anything from the last 3 years.”

“Oh fuck, so you don’t remember your friend?” Rosa asked her sister.

“Maru?” she asked “what about him?”

The four of them glared at her in shock.

“No, your other friend...from school” Iwa spoke up.

“I- don’t have friends from school?” she furrowed her brow “come to think of it, I don’t think I have any friends from dance academy either.”

Everyone look at each other, not knowing how to break it to her.

“Um, lets go sit at the couch and let me explain” Tenya said as they walked over to the living room “Okay, so things look a little different now because you’re not 15, you’re 17 about to be 18-”

“I’VE BEEN IN A COMA?!” screamed Lili.

“NO! You’ve been in the hospital for 3 days and you just have amnesia” her dad took control of the situation “I’ve been watching over you everyday in the hospital and the doctor explained that you just need to get your memories back. And we’re all here to help.”

“So...I’m in high school?” she asked and everyone nodded “And I have friends?”

“Lots of friends!” Her dad explained “you’ve gained the respect of so many and you have your own little dance circle where you Ki Ki.”

“I do?! Wow I sound like a cool kid” she giggled “Where do I go to school? Is it that private arts school in Shibuya?!”

“No...um you” Her dad put his hand on her hand “don’t scream but you attend UA and you’re in the hero department.”

“Oh...I see” she blinked and stood up “will you excuse me a quick moment?” Before anyone could say, she dashed to her room to look through her things. And she found her admittance letter along with all her rejection letters from the schools she applied to. She sat on her bed and tried to remember anything, but couldn’t, so she cried.

“Lili, it’s okay” Rosa said in the doorway “you wanted to go to UA, trained for it and everything” she slowly made her way next to her sister “you even got in without the recommendation of our parents! You went in to flip the script on what our family is known for and changed your ways to become a hero.”

“I wish I could remember” Lili wiped her tears “You guys say all this but nothing is coming back to me. This sucks!”

“Maybe mommy can help when she comes home from work” the little sister said as she tugged on Lili’s sleeve “come outside and eat oranges with us.”

“I am hungry” she stood up “okay, lets go.”

She spent the rest of the afternoon trying to distract herself from everything until her mom came home. Nothing seemed to spark anything until dinner.

“Lili? Are you alright?” her dad asked worriedly “You haven’t reached for the pizza.”

“I remember something” Lili replied, eyes wide “You upgraded my phone on a pizza night, at around Iwa’s birthday.” She looked her dad “If you say I am in high school, then I must have memories on my phone!”

“That could help, but mom has your phone for safe keeping” he answered as he served her a slice “You know how paranoid she gets when things happen in the family.”

“Guess I’ll have to wait until-”

Comically on time, her mom came home. “I’m home!” her mom panted as she rushed into the dinning room “Lili! Oh sweet daughter of mine” she brought Lili into a tight embrace “You have no idea how worried I was! Did you wake up alright?”

“I just woke up thirsty” Lili responded, face squished in her arms “Mom, not to be rude, but can I have my phone? I was just saying that something might trigger my memories back.”

Lili followed her mother into her home office after dinner. The familiar scent of lavender hit her and it triggered the memories she had in there. Once she got her phone and turned it on, a flood of texts rolled in from classmates and people from her circle.

“If you’d like, you can stay home for summer break” suggested her mother “if going back is going to be overwhelming.”

“No, I want to go the dorms” Lili said with confidence “My journey to who I became started at school, because if I did make up my mind to be a hero and threw away my dream of being a dancer, then all those memories started there.”

“Alright Lili, when do you want to go back?”

“Hmmm, on Friday? Is that okay?”

“It is, I just gotta let the school know.”

And so I went to my room to check if I had any pictures, most of them were just selfies and videos of some crackhead activity outside (from what I assume is my dorm room) window. So much for helping me, gotta take more pictures of my friends! I clean out my inbox and see that this one contact I have saved called “Hoshi 💫🌟”. I scroll through our text history and it’s like I text them a lot! Is this the friend Rosa was trying to talk to me about? Wish I had a picture of them but it seems like our texts were saved all the way back from December, almost 7 months ago! I decided to give it a rest and get ready for bed. I lay in bed but I couldn’t sleep, like something was missing from my sleep routine. Did I add something while I was away from home? Needless to say, I didn’t wake up totally refreshed. The little things triggered my memories as I did my everyday routine and, after 4 days, I remembered up to the day I quit the dance academy to go to UA.

“Mom, do you think everyone will be patient with me?” I asked as mom was driving me to the dorms “What if they trick me or take advantage?”

“You have nothing to worry about! Everyone will help, or at the very least your circle of friends and teachers will” Mom replied, glancing over at Lili’s face “Hey, why don’t we go to a McDonalds before?!”

I get excited “For two cones and a number two combo with Sprite?!”

“Yup, glad to see that your excitement for secret McDonalds is still there” chuckled Mom as she took the left turn into the downtown area “The usual I see.”

“You know that’s been my order since I was old enough to speak!” I wiggled in my seat and looked out the window “McDonalds! McDonalds! Gimme McDonalds!”

Thankfully there was no line at the McDonalds and I enjoyed my two cones before pulling up to the dorms. I grab my bag and my drink before following my mom into the building, nothing was coming back to me yet.

“This way Lili, we have to talk to your teacher” Mom pointed to a door “Hopefully he’s not too wrapped up to talk.”

I watch her knock on the door and the sound of somebody falling off something responded along with hasty footsteps “Yes? Oh! I wasn’t expecting you two so soon!”

“Ha ha very funny mom” I was being sarcastic “How much did you pay Diaper Boy to be in on this prank?”

“Ya know Lili, I might be one of the richest women in the country but not even I’d pay Mr Mineta to be part of anything” my mom sighed and pinched her brows together “He’s your sensei...deadass.”

I nearly choked on my Sprite “No way! No wonder I ended up in the hospital!” I felt offended “You got this purple ball flinging, toddler sized, ketchup-smellin’ teaching the next generation of heroes?!”

“Hey! TO BE FAIR, I wasn’t responsible for your accident” sensei cried out “secondly, words hurt. Both of you have been roasting me for long enough, I am a man and a hero!”

“Yeah okay Diaper Man!” I roasted, which promptly triggered my memory of the first day of school “Oh man, that roast was so powerful that it triggered my memory.”

“Oh thats good! Thats what we came here first for” Mom shifted focus “Minoru, I’m going to need you to help Lili trigger her memories in terms of academics. In turn I propose Lili gets a training break until her memories come back.”

“I will allow it, don’t worry about her getting injured again” he gave his thumbs up “She excused from summer training due to her rescue points, which is this leg of the training.”

“Great! Here’s her updated medical records, please hand them to Eri when you get a chance” Mom hands over a manila folder “I just need to talk to Hoshi real quick and I’ll be on my way.”

“Wait, Mom” I stopped her “where are you going after this?”

“I’m going to do some agent work” she explained “my team has been called upon a lead for a re-opened case. I might be gone for a few days, so Dad will be there for you if you need anything.”

“But, what about me?” I pouted, feeling abandoned.

“I know its a little scary being in an environment you don’t recognize, away from your parents and siblings” She comforted me “Trust me, I know the feeling. But you have one person to rely on at least, and it’s your best friend. Hopefully you remember them after a while.” She pointed to the cat tower “Why don’t you see if Clawford is taking a nap? I’ll be quick!”

I watch her teleport out and I do what she said. She says things like this to make me feel better about her being gone for more than a day, but I still worry. I peek my head in the cat hole and see the chonky cat staring back at me with their bluish eyes. I reach in for a gentle pet and they seem to like me, maybe I spend a lot of time in this area and play with them? I don’t know how long I’ve been petting them but when I turned around, there was a group of at least 10 people just staring at me.

“Um... Howdy!” I greeted awkwardly.

“Oh my goodness! She’s not yelling at us” spoke a girl to another girl in the group “what do we say?”

“Yo Toei-kun is right there, how long until she scraps with him?” whispered the boys.

“ENOUGH! Can’t you see our classmate is back?!” spoke up one of the boys and takes a few steps towards me “Iida-san, welcome back! It’s good to see you recovered and well.”

I blinked and lightly scrunched my face “I’m sorry, but...had we, met before?”

Everyone gasped

“What do you mean? It’s me, Hashima-kun, class representative of Hero class A.”

“Class rep?...Sorry, but I don’t remember” I looked to the others “and I don’t remember any of you.”

Sensei came out of his room to inform everyone of my condition. My mom came back out with somebody before heading out.

“Okay Lili, I’ll be going now” She squeezed me “take care and call Dad for anything! I love you.”

“Okay bye Mommy” I waved “I love you!”

I watch her get in her car and drive off. Everyone’s whispers were getting on my nerves in an unsettling way. It was getting me anxiety and I felt frozen in place.

“Hey, are you okay?”

I turn around to see a tall guy with frosty, blonde hair and icy blue eyes. He was looking at me with gentle concern and that confused me.

“Yeah, um...I was just looking at my mom drive off” I meekly responded “Anyways, uhhhhhh can I ask you a very dumb question?”

Now he looked confused “Sure?”

“Where’s the bathroom? I’ve been it holding in for like 20 minutes now” I whispered, hoping nobody heard me.

“Here I’ll show you” he asked me to follow him. We walked up some stairs and down a hallway “So...memory loss huh?”

“Yep”

“Nothing from the last few years, ey?”

“Nope!”

We arrive at the bathroom “At least you remember me right?”

I run in the bathroom and into a stall before I could answer him. And just when I think I have my privacy, I hear the bathroom door open.

“Lili, you remember me...right?” he asked again.

“Um...I-” I try to not make any bodily sounds “I don’t remember you, sorry.”

“You....don’t remember me?” he responded, voice cracking and trailing off “how can that be?! We’ve done so much together! I’m saved on your phone, we have matching lock screens, you made me this shirt... does anything trigger at least the day we met?”

I flush the toilet and walk out to wash my hands “I wish it did, but it seems like routine has been triggering my memories” I go to dry my hands “and I guess that’s my second question, are you in my daily routine?”

He suddenly gets very coy “Well..um” he rubs his face “I basically never leave your side, we share a dorm room.”

“Oh...” I stare blankly at him as a hard blush rose up to my face “Will you excuse me for just a moment?”

I turn around to walk into a shower stall, closed the door and screamed for a solid 2 minutes. “Okay, I feel better” I cleared my throat as I walked out the shower.

“You know that those showers aren’t sound proof.”

“Kinda wish you didn’t say that” I blushed again “now uh, where’s our room?”

I follow him a little ways down the hall from the bathroom. He opens the door to a cramped space.

“Welcome back, hehe” he nervously said “anything?”

I look around “Not yet, but this is a bit of tight space” I walk in to see which side is mine “Hey, that’s the vanity I wanted!”

“Well, it is yours” he explained “along with that fabric wall, sewing station on the balcony, that’s your dresser and your half of the slide closet” he then points to the bed with pink sheets “And that’s your bed, don’t worry, I didn’t sit or sleep on it. I know how picky you are about that.”

“Oof, I hate that box spring feel” I cringed at the sound the bed made with I sat on it “damn bitch, we live like this.”

The boy starts howling with laughter “You’re killing me Lili! Good one!”

I watch him laugh and it made me...happy?

“Are we...best friends?”

“We are!” He calmed down to answer me “We’re like a two for one special! We do almost everything together and you understand me the most” he smiled “You’re the most important person in my life, and no matter what, I’ll help you remember everything. Because you never gave up on me and it’s about time I return the favor.”

“Really? I’m important to you?” I questioned “then I trust that you’ll help me through this.”

He smiled harder and glanced at my bag “What’s in the bag? I don’t remember you having that rhinestone bag.”

“This is my old dance bag” I zipped it open “I have my McDonalds in here.”

“Oh? Did you order your two cones, a number two with large Sprite?”

I froze in place “Whoa, you memorized my McDonalds order?”

“Yup, when we didn’t feel like going to the dorms yet after school, we’d go to the McDonalds and get it to go.” He explained “My order is the number 6 with a vanilla milkshake to dip my fries in.”

“I see, you’re a man of culture as well” I gave a face of approval “Then will you accept this orange.”

“Sure! WAIT!” He stopped himself from taking the orange from my hand “Oranges? Did you-”

I dumped all the contents of my bag on the bed “Pick a bunch of oranges before I came here because our tree was heavy with fruit?...Yes, I did.”

“Oh Lili!” he chuckled “You haven’t changed a bit, I’m so happy you’re back.”

I watch him peel the orange, trying to see if it triggered anything “Hey, not to sound dumb but” I asked as I was eyeing their shirt “what is your name?”

“Hm? My name is Hoshi Togata” he looked up from his peeling.

“Oh you’re my saved contact on my phone!” I picked up my phone “that makes me relieved that it’s you.”

“Yeah, look” he picked up his phone to show me the lock screen “We match, I’m the Big Bad Wolf from Shrek and you’re Donkey.”

“I was wondering why Donkey was there!” I giggled “This feels weird, I’ve never had a best friend before.”

“What about Maru?”

“Oh shit, lowkey forget he exists sometimes” I admitted “but we don’t do things like this. I’d never share my food with him or watch movies.”

“I’ve never had a friend period! You were my only friend for a while because-” he stopped himself from saying it “um, well...that part isn’t important anymore BUT we found more friends!”

I spent the rest of the day trying to figure out things all over again. And when it came for bed, I couldn’t really sleep again because I felt like something was missing. This sucks!

Episode 10 - Everyone here is dull. There I said it. - Heather

Honestly after bullshit round where one of my closest allies was voted out I fell so into the bottom i thought I was next. Then Glo descended like an angel from exile to just make me feel so much hope. She’s said she is fully loyal to me and heather and that she is going to use her connections to get info and try and win immunity, she told me exactly what she might say to others or in chats to make these moves, so no drama should interfere. Thank god. Oh also heather has an idol, who knew? Ideally what happens now is one of us wins immunity and sends the other to exile, so then the rest have to sort it out and if glos in danger we can play an idol.

I typed up a long ass confessional last night and then when I went to hit submit my internet died and it was lost. So I’ll try to paraphrase that here: Basically, Austin leaving is neither good nor bad for my game right now. It does help to break up the “majority” of the previous vote but with Evan and Coco swapping sides, is there even a majority anymore? And I’m not entirely sure how long those two will even work with Kyle and them. Ideally, I would like Kyle to be gone next. He’s been running the “minority” alliance and full on dictating not only who we’re voting but what we should be doing. “Don’t talk to Eric” “Talk to Heather” “Don’t let Heather know you talked to me” “Don’t talk to Austin” Etc And it’s annoying. I’m talking with Eric right now about starting an alliance with him since he felt so left out about the last vote. And Kyle and Dan are wanting to use Eric while he’s vulnerable to get further in the game. I think that’s not really the way I want to play this game.

I wish I could share this audio form because this is straight up a mess of words. In my 5, I’m like, mid tier. Kyle is the Hitman, Livingston is the Mobster’s Wife, me and Keegan are Henchmen and lovely Dan is just crazy. Jk he’s like, a henchman’s henchman. I gotta think about who goes home and when to benefit my game. There’s 6 OG M people, not including Livingston, and 4 OG Keji people with Livingston. There’s definitely a power trio/quad of Heather, Glo, Stephen and Eric. Eric’s the bottom of that totem pole. Eric’s a goat at this point unless he does something. I want the trio gone. Coco, Evan and Eric are headless chickens at this point in the game. I just need to make sure I can convince the “Minority” alliance.

So this afternoon I had a very interesting chat with Glo. We talked for almost an hour about the game and what's going on. Glo is acting very bold about what she's doing and made it clear she wants everyone else to feel like she's just there and doesn't know what's going on but intends to do some blowing up at some point. She said to trust me and I don't think I have a choice either way but I do. I think she's more sincere and to the point than any other player in the game, and I hope her new strategy doesn't bite her in the ass or myself. I also spilled to her about a 5 person alliance she wasn't included in because why not? If everyone else is gonna be chaotic I might as well join in bby this is atomic survivor not calm survivor.

So I got third in the immunity challenge which honestly made me annoyed because I wanted to win immunity and be safe at tribal. My backup plan worked though, which was to vote Heather in a decently high position. While I don't trust her, I do trust that she wanted me on her side for the vote and was willing to make sure I was safe. She did keep her word to me from earlier and sent me to exile, though that kind of screwed them because Evan lost his vote at tribal LOL. And I won a vote steal. ASKJFHDKJSFHDSJF. That's too bad sweetie. They can all panic now. That's what they get for picking and choosing when I'm relevant to the plan, because I'm always relevant sweetie.

Me being 7th in the trust list ranking. Oof. Dan and Kyle being higher than me is certainly a choice. Livingston almost at the bottom could be a good opportunity for me though. Currently we’re planning on blindsiding Glo. We’re going to tell everyone we’re voting for Evan. Apparently Evan lost his vote because of the challenge but I’m not entirely sure that’s true. It could end up being that he has an immunity idol out of it. That would be the kind of twist I’d expect for the person voted least trustworthy. But if it’s true and he lost his vote, Glo should be going home as long as none of us flip. And I’m okay with that. I can’t ever see Glo and myself working together in this game so I’d like to have her out of the way so I can flip and make a move. The other difficult thing is who do I make a move with in this game? There’s so many tense connections right now that trying to find that group to make the move is difficult. I don’t imagine Eric would want to work with Heather. I don’t think Heather would work with Kyle. I don’t imagine Livingston would work with any of his OG tribe after all this. Mac seems pretty attached to the hip with Kyle. It’s a tough thing to navigate. Maybe I can manage to wrangle in Eric, Evan and Coco and the four of us, plus my extra vote, can make something happen.

Everyone here is dull. There I said it.

This has been an interesting lead up to tribal. The initial plan was to tell everyone we’re voting for Evan. Make people think Evan was the real target when actually we’re going after Glo. Should be simple, should be straight forward. But Kyle. Kyle. Kyle. Kyle. He runs to heather and tells her the whole plan. The point of not telling Heather was to not let Glo find out that her name has come up. I just... can’t with him anymore. And now Glo comes to me saying that Kyle’s name has come up and a few people are on board with voting for him. Honestly maybe it is time to blindside Kyle and get him out of the game.

So I didn't have much to write confessional but here's what went down in final 12. FINAL 12: Austin went around and told other players he was ready to flip. He tried to turn Kyle and Heather against each other. I'm not surprised because he is a really strong player so I thought he would be willing to do some dirty work. But I am too. I was the one starting his blindside, I went around and told Keegan&Kyle to let's vote out Austin. I was the one planting the seed in Heather's and Evan's head DAYS ago that we needed to get Austin out. Fortunately for me, my plans have all worked out and I managed to blindside a huge social + strategic threat! Even tho it was a crazy day I feel like I was able to control everything this round.

FINAL 11: Heather, once again, won immunity and I got 2nd place on the trustlist which double-edged sword. I was happy that I got a great placement but on the other hand it could easily put a target on my back. After the craziest round so far, I managed to make sure I still have strong relationship with Gloria, Heather and Evan but unfortunately I'm worried about the rest of the cast. I was the main person orchestrating Austin's blindside so I'm REALLY worried that people are coming for me. They know I'm willing to flip now and they know I'm not afraid of taking control/charge over the game. I was trying to stay low this round but I'm getting paranoid that I am the target. At first they were telling me the vote is Evan. HOWEVER 2 major events happened: Keegan is telling me that he's willing to flip against Kyle but I'm not certain about that AT ALL. Mac told me that their plan was to vote off GLORIA. I don't know what to believe at this point. My vote goes on Kyle but I might ask Evan to use his HII on me.

So glo is a target, but now keegans had it with kyle and is flipping? Iconic. Also i sent this to my host chat but cbf typing it up again: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Smd_ssc-sMkK4kUaHG-th237cFOUa5Gx/view?usp=drivesdk

As it stands right now, looks like Kyle is getting the boot. Heather, Glo, Coco, Stephen and myself are all voting for Kyle. Evan is voting him in spirit since he lost his vote from the last challenge. That leaves Kyle, Livingston, Mac and Dan all voting for Glo. 5-4 Kyle is gone. If Mac plays his extra vote, it’ll tie 5-5. Kyle and Glo won’t vote and it’ll be a 4-3 on the revote with Kyle still going home. That’s all fine and dandy unless Kyle plays whatever advantage it is that he got in the last challenge. Is it an extra vote? Is it a vote steal? Who knows! Depending on what it is and how he plays it, I might switch my vote back to Glo at tribal. On happier notes, if Glo survives this round she says we’ll protect each other until the final 6. That’s a pretty nice deal if she’s being honest. That would mean both Heather and Glo looking out for me in this game. As long as I’m not getting utterly blindsided tonight, I think things will work out for me no matter who goes home.

Okay so unmerging, yuck. But! It does provide a good opportunity. Now while my alliance does have the numbers here to take out livingston or mac, that can happen anytime. Eventually our alliance has to split, and everyone on the other tribe has worked together at some stage. So if they go to tribal instead that breaks up some bonds while also giving me time to solidify mine. Just hope we can win and hope that we merge back next round.

07: Lobster Trap

"Whoa, ooh, ugh... oof."

Disoriented after her trip through the portal, Rainbow Dash staggered for a moment before falling to her knees. She raised a hand to her head to steady it as the world around her swam into focus, chaotic voices slowly growing more distinct.

With a quick shake of her head, she snapped to attention. It was night, but she could see well enough thanks to several portable-looking spotlights nearby. There were people running this way and that, wearing what looked like... were those supposed to be military uniforms? Why would anybody outfit their troops with bright red uniforms?

In seconds, one of the spotlights had been pointed directly at her, causing her to squint and shield her eyes... but she could still tell that several of them were pointing weapons at her; some brandished swords and spears, while others propped up their rifles on rows of sandbags.

"What the - ?" Rainbow scrambled to her feet, but suddenly found herself hovering as her wings seemed to automatically kick in. Momentarily distracted, she glanced at them over her shoulder. "Oh hey, cool! When did that - ?"

"Attention!" a voice called out. "You will land and submit yourself to military custody immediately, or appropriate force will be employed!"

"What?!" Rainbow shook her head again, glaring against the spotlights as her hands balled into fists. "No way! I haven't done anything wrong. I'm just looking for my friends! Who do you guys think you - ow!"

Something small and sharp struck her side. Looking down, she winced as she carefully plucked what appeared to be a small dart embedded in her skin and immediately threw it away. "Hey! What's the deal with you guys? I, ugh..."

Why were her wings getting heavy?

Rainbow could feel her strength gradually leaving her as she descended slowly, falling to her knees again. She looked up to see two of the soldiers lowering their weapons and approaching her, lifting her roughly under her arms and beginning to drag her away. She tried to summon the will to resist, but her body would no longer obey.

"You... guys... suck..." was all she could manage before her consciousness faded completely.

*******

"...ugh."

Rainbow Dash was getting really sick of being dizzy.

Her surroundings had traded the military base for what looked like a crude cell, complete with iron bars and unpainted stone brick walls. Its only features were an equally barred window, a toilet, and a bed so uncomfortable she doubted she'd ever have fallen asleep on it if she hadn't been drugged.

She tried to reach for her head, only to find her arms wouldn't move - they were bound behind her back, as were her wings.

Rainbow fought the adrenaline urging her to leap to her feet as quickly as possible. Instead, she took her time with it to ward off the wave of disorientation she might have gotten otherwise and stood up gradually.

With that out of the way, her fear soon made way for anger, and she marched up to the bars of her cell to give one a solid kick. "Hey, let me outta here!"

"Good, you're awake."

A dark-skinned soldier stepped into view. He wore the same red uniform she'd seen before, but his had much larger and more elaborate patches on it - an indication of rank, maybe? She didn't actually care either way; she was too busy wishing she could punch him. "Who are you supposed to be?"

The soldier spent a moment idly straightening his sleeves. "You haven't heard of me before? Lieutenant Lucas Diamondback, youngest Victorian officer in decades? Master of the Illusion Blades?" He punctuated this by patting what appeared to be an empty sword sheath at his hip and smirking at her, as though expecting the gesture to mean something.

It really just made him look like a smug idiot.

Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Hmph. Tell someone who cares."

Lieutenant Whatever seemed particularly irked by this. "Hey, you're the one who asked! Besides, I'm cooler than any of you rebels will ever be!"

"You wouldn't know cool if it walked up and bit your tail," Rainbow spat. "Wait, 'rebels'? What the heck are you talking about?"

The lieutenant huffed. "Oh, don't bother. We already know you're some kind of secret weapon they developed to surprise attack us through the portal. Now we'll be prepared when more come through."

Rainbow's heart missed a beat as she remembered she hadn't been the first through the portal. "Wait a minute! Where are my friends?"

"I don't know." The lieutenant quirked an eyebrow, faking surprise. "You tell me. Where are your friends? And how many of you are there?"

Against her instincts, Rainbow bit her tongue. Whatever was going on, it was obvious this guy wasn't going to be any help to her in finding Pinkie and Rarity; any information she volunteered was as like as not to be used against them.

"Uh... n-nowhere," she stammered. Even if her lie was obvious, she at least owed it to them to put up an uncooperative front if it meant any chance at all of keeping them safe. "I-It was just me."

Were she not being held back by rope and iron bars, Rainbow would have been all too happy to see how much smirking this diamond-jerk would still be doing after she knocked half his teeth down his throat.

"Sure, whatever you say." He glanced at his watch. "Anyway, I have some preparations to oversee in case any of these not-friends of yours show up. Holler to the guards when you feel like cooperating; if you give us something useful to work with, we might even remember to feed you once or twice."

With a backhanded wave, he spun on his heel and marched down the corridor out of sight, leaving a furious Rainbow to stew in her own rage.

*******

Sitting in a cell for hours on end was seriously the most boring thing in the universe.

Granted, the passage of time was pretty hard to gauge in this place; she couldn't see all that much of the sky from her barred window, but she could almost swear the sun hadn't actually moved. She could hear voices every now and then from down the hall, but no one else had shown up to bother her.

Her stomach growled. Immediately she was reminded of that comment from... what was it, Diamondface? She almost wished she had offered him some information about them, just for her own peace of mind... but it wasn't worth it. Giving that jerk the satisfaction of knowing he'd gotten to her was unappealing enough, but the thought of potentially selling out her friends made her heart sink - she would gladly endure this by herself for their sake.

If nothing else, she could at least hope that their absence from the adjoining cells meant they'd found a way to escape, and she was just the unlucky one who got caught.

"Hey... hey, over here!"

A barely audible whisper came from somewhere nearby, snapping Rainbow to attention. "What? Who's there?"

"Shhh, careful..." The voice seemed to be someone just outside the window, which was just barely too high up on the wall for her to see them. "We're gonna get you out of there, okay?"

Rainbow scowled, but said nothing. She wasn't exactly in the most trusting mood, but it wasn't like it could make things any worse, right? She hoped not, at any rate.

"Stay away from the wall here for a sec," the whisperer warned. "Once it's breached, I need you to hang a left, head as far as the back wall, then turn right past the crates. Move as quickly and quietly as you can. Okay?"

"Uh... got it?" Rainbow quirked an eyebrow, but backed up all the same.

A few seconds later, she heard the footsteps of someone dashing away from the wall, followed by a low rumble. As she watched, part of the wall beneath the window crumbled to dust, leaving a hole barely two feet in diameter.

"..."

It wasn't exactly what she expected, but it would have to do.

After a minute of awkward squirming made more difficult than it needed to be due to her still being partly tied up, Rainbow found herself standing on dirt and dry grass between two low buildings, with no one else in sight.

Off to the left, a tall concrete wall reminded her of the instructions she had been given, and she marched toward them. A stack of wooden crates sat just behind the corner of the building to the right... but it didn't look like anyone was there.

Rainbow snuck slowly past the crates. "Uh, hello? Is anybody - "

SLASH

Something sharp swung just behind Rainbow, missing her by a hair. Immediately, she felt the ropes binding her arms and wings slip, prompting her to shrug them the rest of the way off.

"Whew, that's better." Rainbow rubbed at her sore wrists and flexed her wings. "Hey, thanks for the save back...?"

She trailed off as she turned around to find herself staring at none other than the very lieutenant who had given her such a taunting before. He held a strange translucent sword in his hand, which he turned and threw at the wall, causing it to shatter and vanish into thin air.

"There. Hopefully that, uh, evens things out a little." He turned back toward Rainbow. "Hey, are you... uh oh."

"YOU!" she snarled.

Diamondback flinched, staggering backward a step. "W-Wait, maybe you shouldn't - "

Rainbow didn't wait for him to finish. Wings flared, she took off toward him with her magically enhanced speed, ready to throw a punch that she sincerely hoped would send him through the wall behind him.

It didn't, but not for the reason she was expecting. Instead, she bounced backward as her fist connected with some sort of barrier that had formed in front of him, and landed in a heap in the dirt. "Ow! What the hay?"

"I would appreciate you not manhandling my informant, please."

A tall, pale woman stepped into view. Sporting a long green dress and a big green ribbon with long tails tied in sky blue hair that went halfway down her back, she was probably the silliest thing Rainbow had seen all day. Her hand was outstretched toward the lieutenant, but she lowered it as she approached, causing the barrier in front of him to fizzle and vanish. Crouching, she extended it to Rainbow instead.

"My name is Scarlet Lombardia, ally of the Cascadian Rebellion," she declared.

Rainbow stared for a moment at the offered hand before finally taking it and allowing herself to be pulled to her feet. "Uh... right. Then I'm Rainbow Dash."

Scarlet blinked, hesitating for a moment. "An... unorthodox name I suppose, but an amusingly apt one," she concluded, her eyes lingering on the teen's impressively ostentatious hair. "Rainbow Dash, I believe we can be of use to one another."

"Huh? What do you mean by - " Rainbow stopped mid-sentence, turning to Diamondback as a memory resurfaced. "Wait a minute! You said I was the one working with these 'rebels,' but that's what you're doing! What's going on here?"

"Shh, keep your voice down!" The lieutenant winced. "Yeah, I am. And I'm sorry about before... I, uh, kinda had to put on a good show until I could contact Scarlet here and put a plan together to get you out." He idly straightened his sleeves. "That trick I used will only work once, though; there'll be a guard tower back here by this time tomorrow, and the longer we stand here, the more likely you are to get caught again."

Scarlet nodded. "While you deserve a proper explanation, time is a luxury we can ill afford. In short, I am here to offer you a deal, Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow glanced around. "A deal?"

"We of the rebellion fight for the liberation of this land from the very forces that detained you," Scarlet explained. "I believe you would be a valuable asset to our cause. Unless I am misinformed, those wings are no mere decoration, correct?"

More than happy to demonstrate, Rainbow hopped into the air and flew several speedy circles around them. The pair stared at her in awe, Scarlet in particular donning a delighted grin as the teen touched back down.

"Marvelous." Scarlet put her hands on her hips. "And yet, I saw a glimpse of even greater power just a bit ago, did I not?"

"Maybe you did!" Rainbow ran her fingers down the length of her wing. "I am pretty awesome, you know. Not really much of a soldier though," she admitted.

The lieutenant shrugged. "Oh, don't worry about that. Scarlet here is one of the best fighters I've ever seen. Found that out first-hand," he admitted, instinctively reaching up to rub his shoulder. "If anybody can teach you how to use your powers to fight, it's her."

"Wait, you can fight?" Rainbow looked Scarlet up and down. Her choice of dress seemed fairly lacking in the combat readiness department, and it covered a chubby frame that surpassed even the confection-loving Pinkie Pie. "No offense, but you... really don't look like it."

Scarlet hid her mouth behind her hand and giggled. "You are hardly the first to make that assessment, and I doubt you will be the last."

"Uh, more to the point," the lieutenant interrupted, "we're also prepared to do what we can to help you find your friends."

Scarlet nodded again. "The communication network in the region is rather heavily locked down, so while I can make no other promises, we will keep our eyes and ears open for any information that may lead us to them."

"So let me make sure I got this straight." Rainbow crossed her arms. "In exchange for helping me find my friends and teaching me how to use my powers to fight, you want me to help you beat up a bunch of punks who already shot me with a dart and locked me in a cell?"

Diamondback blinked. "Uh... actually, yeah, that's a pretty good summary."

Even now, she wasn't totally convinced she could trust them... but if she wanted to find Rarity and Pinkie, she could do a lot worse than finding allies, and here were two being handed to her on a platter.

Plus, it was a chance for her to impress them with her awesomeness. All in all, basically a no-brainer.

Rainbow Dash grinned. "When do we start?"
