Well... Hello there!
I actually didn't think I would be writing this one, but I thought it would be a good idea just so I could get out of my comfort zone and write action scenes.
I'll keep this a/n short and sweet for you all.
DISCLAIMER! I do NOT own Boku No Hero Academia or Shingeki No Kyojin. If I did, Sasha would be deemed the hero, Potato Girl.
3-2-17 !UPDATE! - Thanks to those who have reviewed already, the feedback has only been positive so far! I fixed minor typos and story flaws that I nitpicked while reading this over again.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・Izuku
All Might was in danger. He needed to help him. No-one else knew his secret, nobody would help the number-one hero. Only Izuku could help.
And he was running out of time to do that.
That was all that was on Izuku Midoriya's mind as he raced towards the hero-in-distress, going as fast as his incapable legs would carry him. He had left his teacher, Mr. Aizawa, in the hands of his classmates, throwing all caution to the wind when he decided to leap into All Might's life-endangering fight. With the true essence of a hero, he was moving without hesitation or thought.
His peers shouted at him, trying to keep him away from the hazardous battle, but those words fell on deaf ears. It was only tunnel vision for the young man. Only one objective in mind. One thing that wouldn't make him useless to his childhood idol.
"ALL MIGHT!" Izuku cried, panting heavily from the excessive exercise.
'It can't end here. Not here, not now! We've worked so hard, and it'll all be wasted if it ends here!'
The hero shifted his head slightly towards the direction of his prized disciple. The man was struggling, but no one noticed. They all believed in him, to the point where they thought he was invincible. They were dead wrong.
All Might was locked in Noumu's steel-like hold. He was struggling with all his power, but his attempts made no avail. His body was being held mid-air by the bird-brained monstrosity, gripping him strongly around his severe injury from years ago. He couldn't move, at all.
"I'm coming!" Izuku yelled at the top of his lungs, rushing towards his idol, teacher, and dear companion.
The green-haired boy made a leap after his last stride, flailing his limbs around as he approached his mentor. He was so close, only a few feet away...
In just seconds, the purple, gaseous villain phased into reality in front of Izuku, completely blocking his vision of All Might.
"How foolish," the villain stated, having no remorse nor interest in his voice.
Izuku blanked out. There was nothing but fear plaguing his mind, his heart racing as if it were on his last beat, his lungs ceasing to inflate as if they were performing their last breath. His body was hammering with fear, only waiting to embrace the terror that would possibly be his afterlife. He stared the swirling, black vortex as it stood inches from his face. The world was moving in slow motion, only heightening his sense of helplessness and dread. What was he thinking? Did he really think he could face off against a full-fledged villain?
There was nobody coming to save him now. Not that it would matter anyways...
'It seems like I really was useless after all...'
Izuku glared, completely unblinking, at the face of his death as he passed through the villain's portal. And just like that...
He was gone.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
All Might / Toshinori
Toshinori gaped in horror as he saw his heir fly right into the villain's warp gate. He quickly realized his mistake and resumed smiling.
If he was supposed to be the world's Symbol of Peace, then he had to fit the description. Even if it meant smiling through the possible death of his student.
Unfortunately for him, the villain that was covered from head to toe with disembodied hands seemed to notice his momentary distress.
"Oh?" the villain questioned maliciously, "Did that disturb you, Symbol of Peace?"
"What did you do with that student!?" Toshinori flinched at the notion of calling Midoriya a student. If anything, the young boy have become like family to him.
"Well, you see," the villain attempted to explain, "I have no idea." The strange man let out a few chuckles, "For all I know, he could be on the other side of the Earth by now, being munched on by some wild animal in the Amazon. It's all up to Kurogiri to decide where that plain-looking one ends up."
The man was smiling deviously, the corners of his mouth could be seen on the edges of his hand-mask. His one visible eye was twitching with delight, and his hands were scratching his neck vigorously.
This man was borderline insane.
Before another word could be spoken, another student came speeding down the stairs.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY, BASTARDS!"
'Well... there's only one person with that kind of attitude...'
This time, Bakugou came rushing at the speed of light towards the band of villains. Immediately, he grasped his hands around the warp-gate villain and set off multiple explosions around the metal plate on the evildoer's body. The man was left struggling against the student's grip, wriggling around like a worm on the clay-stained ground.
"I guess I found your body that time, you smoky bastard!" Bakugou yelled.
Immediately after Bakugou's capture of Kurogiri, a trail of ice snaked its way up the right-half of Noumu's body, leaving All Might an opening to escape the ghastly creature's steel-grip.
"Hmph," Todoroki hummed nonchalantly, "One of your badly trained thugs told me that you thought you could kill All Might."
'He controlled his quirk so that the ice stopped before touching my body. This is my chance to escape!'
The well-built man pried himself out of the villain's strong arms and managed to land a jump right next to his students. He was clutching his abdomen tightly, desperately trying to keep the pain from frying his nerves and to hold in the blood that was oozing out of his body at an alarming rate.
The madness only intensified as Kirishima came diving from the air, screaming as he had his arms poised to pierce the hand-covered villain in the chest. Before the man could be impaled by the iron-like skin, he dodged at the last second and avoided extreme injury by mere nanoseconds.
"AW DAMN!" Kirishima cursed, "That was gonna be so cool!"
"W-what?" the gaseous man was still panicking from his unexpected capture, "How?!"
"It was pretty easy to figure out your quirk after doing some thinking," Bakugou tapped his noggin to emphasize. "The only reason I didn't hit you earlier was because you were shrouding yourself with your quirk. At first, I thought you were made of gas, but then I realized," Bakugou set off another round of sweat-fueled explosions around the villain's neck armor, "Your body is being guarded by this piece of armor. Pretty smart, but easy to figure out. Once I got it down, you were left completely defenseless. You're not immune to physical attacks if they're well aimed."
Everyone focused their attention back to the pale, hand covered villain that was staring in shock.
"It's simple," Todoroki stated in his monotone voice, "The Symbol of Peace will not be defeated by the likes of you."
While Bakugou was looking away, Kurogiri slowly moved underneath the boy's palm. Another round of explosions set off.
"DON'T MOVE!" Bakugou threatened, "You try anything funny and I'll blow your ass up so bad that they'll be piecing you back together for weeks!"
"Whoah, that's not very heroic..." Kirishima side-commented, sweatdropping at his classmate's antics.
The group of students with an additional pro-hero stared back at the hand-villain, who was now scratching his neck with a renewed vigor.
"Noumu," the villain instructed, causing the attention of the bird-like monster to be directed towards him, "It's time to free up our escape route."
The beast clawed its way out of the icy tomb, ripping off his arm and leg in the process, barely managing to remain balanced on his remaining appendages. The thing was screeching dreadfully as its limbs began to grow sinew, muscle ligaments, and bone from the base of its torso. The horrific image of mutilated flesh burned its way into the students' minds, the smell of blood and burning flesh filling the air.
Everyone seemed to internally gag at the sight.
"He's cool isn't he?" the white-haired villain ogled, "His other power is regeneration, which makes him a highly efficient punching bag that fights back. He's meant to rival you, All Might."
While everyone was mesmerizingly entranced at Noumu's healing ability, Toshinori slightly let his guard down. There was no way that the villain could do anything now, right?
Right?
Wrong.
Noumu made a mad dash for Bakugou, somehow managing to gallop steadily on his malformed appendages. It was speeding towards the hot-headed student, its tongue flapping sporadically in the air and blood still spurting out of its unhealed wounds, ready to ram into him with the impact force of a freight train.
'Shit!'
All Might sped towards the impending disaster, getting ready to embrace the drive of the monstrosity's attack. Before anything bad could happen to him, Toshinori pushed young Bakugou out of the way. He'd managed to get the young man a good distance away before being ferociously tackled by Noumu.
Everything hurt.
It was another massive shove right into his weak spot, aggravating his already open wound. He wouldn't be able to last much longer, he was already pushing his limits.
With his scar re-opened, his time was being stretched even more.
'It's only a matter of time...'
Toshinori mentally-slapped himself for thinking like that. This was no time to be considering how wrong things could go, he only needed to focus on the matter at hand.
The dust settled down revealing the unnatural Noumu and in its arms was the warp-gate villain that had been under Bakugou's control. Another cloud of dust floated to the ground, exposing the slightly-battered All Might. The pro-hero had his arms in a defensive stance, gingerly gripping to his injured side.
"These are kids," Toshinori was furious, "And you didn't hold back!?"
"Well," the man supposedly called 'Shigaraki' started, "I didn't have much of a choice, did I?"
Nobody answered his question.
"Ahem~," Shigaraki coughed, "The one with the explosion-quirk was threatening my companion and that plain-looking one from earlier–"
'Midoriya...'
"–he was going to attack me at full force! What kind of hero does that?!"
The man started to puff up as he began a 'passionate' rant.
"You know what?!" Shigaraki huffed, "I'm tired of you heroes claiming that you are justice! You can get away with any violent action when you claim it's for the sake of others."
Shigaraki opened his arms widely, leaving his palms facing upwards.
"Why do people get to decide which violent acts get classified as villainous or heroic?," the man questioned rhetorically, "Casting judgement as to what's good and what's evil. You think you're really the Symbol of Peace? No, you're just another government-sponsored weapon of destruction."
Shigaraki swung a finger into the open air.
"Violence always breeds more violence," Shigaraki stated factually, waggling his finger in the process, "I'll make sure the world knows that once you're dead."
All Might and crew gave incredulous looks to the distressed villain.
"This is ludicrous..." All Might continued, "You're nothing but a lunatic. Criminals like you... try to justify your actions and make them seem noble. Admit it, you're just doing this because you enjoy it. Isn't that right!?"
Shigaraki chuckled and said something under his breath, words that were too soundless for All Might or his students to hear. In the background, the warp gate villain was seemingly antsy and shifted his 'feet' from side to side. He was impatient to do something. All Might didn't know what that something was however.
"We've got them outnumbered," Todoroki stated nonchalantly.
"And I figured out that mist guy's weakness," Bakugou bragged.
"These dudes may act really tough," Kirishima started, "But we could take them on with All Might's help. Let's do this!"
Toshinori halted the students where they stood.
"Don't attack!" All Might ordered, clearly concerned for the physical wellbeing of his remaining students, "Get out of here!"
"You would have been in trouble if it weren't for me, remember?" Todoroki said, trying to logically sway his teacher's mind, "You need our help–"
"–I thank you for your assistance," All Might cut Todoroki off, "But this is different. It's gonna be alright..."
All Might stuck out the arm that he was using to clench his wound shut and flexed it out.
"Just sit back and watch a pro at work!" All Might gave a thumbs up to reassure his worried students.
"Hmph," Shigaraki grunted, "Noumu, Kurogiri. Take care of the Symbol of Peace. I'll deal with the children."
'I barely have less than a minute in this form... my power is declining faster than I thought it would...'
"Let's clear this level and go home," Shigaraki uttered to his companions.
'Even so, I have to stop these villains...'
Then the three villains parted ways almost simultaneously, Kurogiri and Noumu targeting All Might and Shigaraki dashing steadily towards the three unexperienced students.
"Looks like we got company anyways!" Kirishima shouted, instantly hardening his hands into piercing stakes.
'Because I am... the world's SYMBOL OF PEACE AND JUSTICE!'
All Might build up an intense amount of pressure in his legs, giving off gusts of artificial wind. The intensity of these squalls was severe enough to sweep the villain Shigaraki and the few nearby students off their feet.
The pro-hero then launched himself from the ground and hurtled towards the currently-sprinting Noumu. They collided in one huge clash, managing to accurately hit each other on the knuckles of their bare fists. Another wave of air pushed all bystanders a far ways away.
"Weren't you listening!?" Shigaraki yelled over the blasts of roaring air, somehow managing to keep himself upright while soaring, "One of his powers is shock absorption!"
"Yeah!" All Might raised his bulky fists once again to deliver a hearty punch to the unaffected Noumu, "What of it!?"
All Might let out a mighty roar as he slammed his fists straight into the abdomen of Noumu, breaking ribs that healed almost instantaneously after the brutal impact. The well-built hero then started increasing the speed of his attacks, putting more and more force into each punch that miraculously landed on the opponent's fists like before.
Fists were flying, and they couldn't be seen by normal eyes at the pace they were being thrown at. Even the students were struggling to stand upright and witness the fight.
"Whoah!" Kirishima shouted over the sounds of war, being blown away from the fight an inch at a time, "They're so fast!"
"NO!" Kurogiri exclaimed, looking as if he would be blown away in the artificial tempest that was being created by the fight, "I can't get near them..."
"UGH!" All Might grunted as he stomped his right foot into the solid earth, creating small, forceful earthquakes with the heel of his foot, "He said your quirk was shock absorption, not nullification. That means there's a limit to what you can take, right!?"
With a new footing, All Might took a strategic position in which he could focus on punching his opponent without worrying about being pushed backwards by the opposing force. They continued to volley punches back and forth until Noumu struck All Might's weak spot once again.
Blood came out in a red spurts, the wound severely shortening Toshinori's time in this form. Bellowing from the agony of his injury, All Might began to take steps forward and abandoned his previous strategy of standing in place. Each step left utter destruction in its path, trees and the ground itself getting upturned from the mere touch of All Might's heavy steps.
"So, you were made to fight me, big guy!?" All Might whooped as he kept moving forward at a continuous pace, "If you can really withstand me firing at 100 percent of my power–"
Shigaraki gasped at the hero's words.
"–Then I'll have to go beyond that and force you to surrender!"
All Might once again shifted gear and put more than one-hundred percent of his power into each blow, targeting specifically for Noumu's unprotected head and abdomen.
After another set of punch volleys, All Might finally struck gold. He'd managed to smack Noumu square in the ribs and drive the villain about 10 yards / 9 meters away. The villain was grinding along the concrete floor, creating a gravelly scratching noise as he started to stop in his erratic skidding.
"A real hero..." All Might leaped into the air, raising both his arms above his head to strike his opponent.
Noumu recovered quickly from his non-pragmatic position and started galloping straight towards All Might, finally bounding up on his last stride. He met All Might's altitude and was grasping out for the hero's body.
Unfortunately for Noumu, All Might's reflexes kicked in and led him to grapple the monstrous creature by the chest and send him hurtling towards the ground. Noumu sent a punch in All Might's direction, but it was easily blocked by the hero's sturdy arms.
"...Will always find a way for justice to be served!" All Might exclaimed as he let his whole body fall towards the grounded villain.
His foot was poised, and he was aiming straight for the creature's head. All Might landed the well-aimed kick on the villains head for half a second before Noumu fled from underneath All Might's footing.
Before the villain could escape fully, All Might snatched Noumu by the arm and pulled him into the air. They tumbled and turned in the air, All Might building velocity for his next move. After masterfully maneuvering himself above the awed crowd of spectators, All Might finally sent Noumu hurtling towards the concrete floor.
The villain hit the ground with a crash, leaving a huge crater where the impact occurred.
Almost immediately, All Might met the villain in the crater, causing another set of tremors to shake the ground with his own landing.
"Now for a lesson..." All Might said as the concrete slabs rose from his sudden arrival, "You may have heard these words before, but I'll teach you what they really mean!"
Flashes of light glowed in the depths of Toshinori's soul. As tradition with using One for All at full capacity.
"GO BEYOND!" All Might pulled his right arm behind himself, the appendage itself starting to steam and smoke uncontrollably from the raw power of his quirk.
"PLUS ULTRA!"
Almost like a balloon, Noumu began to inflate when he made contact with All Might's charged up fist. This affair lasted only seconds before the villain was sent flying through the USJ building. The villain only soared freely for a short while before making a seemingly painful contact with the dome of the building.
Even then, the stupendous amount of force that All Might packed into his punch caused Noumu to blow straight through the ceiling, shattering the lights on the side of the dome and causing tremors throughout the building. Every person in the building seemed to take notice of these intense shakes and ripples.
Still, Noumu remained flying. Outside of the dome, there were no obstacles for the villain to crash into, but he did manage to create circular holes in the clouds as he passed through them without much resistance. Before everyone knew it, Noumu was completely out of sight.
It was unfortunate that he wasn't out of mind yet, however.
"Back in my hay-day," All Might said, voice slightly weak from exhausting his energy, "Five hits would have been enough to knock that guy out."
All Might put his hand on his chest, clenching his fist tightly.
"But today it took over three-hundred mighty blows!"
All Might took notice of the small stream of smoke coming from his neck.
'Looks like my time's up. Gotta end this fast...'
"You've been bested villains," All Might redirected his attention towards the two remaining threats, "Surrender. We all want to get this over with quickly."
'I'm big-talking this... I couldn't beat them now. I don't have the strength...'
"H–he," Shigaraki said inaudibly as he began scratching with a deep potency, "He cheated."
"What's wrong?" All Might pushed, "Not attacking me? Didn't you say you were 'going to clear this level' earlier? Then why don't you attack me... if you dare!"
'I can't fight them, that Noumu guy took too much out of me. One more move... and I'll be forced to go back to my weak form. I just have to keep stalling until the other heroes get here. If I can...'
Kurogiri jolted in place, finally finding the time to do whatever he had been so fidgety about earlier.
The warp-quirked-man leaned towards Shigaraki and whispered something inaudible to All Might and company.
"Hmm?" Shigaraki hummed curiously, clearly interested by what his companion had to say, "Alright... then it's best we look into this now."
Although the man looked as if he wanted to strangle All Might right where he stood, Shigaraki did something that surprised almost everyone in the room.
"You win, All Might."
All Might raised a battered eyebrow, questioning the reasoning behind this surrender and what his companion must have said in order to sway Shigaraki's opinion.
"But," the villain remarked, "We'll be back for you."
"Retreat," Shigaraki whispered to Kurogiri, signaling for him to teleport him their subordinates back to the bar.
One by one, unconscious baddies began to sink into black portals that appeared beneath them. Where they went nobody knew, but All Might was panicking.
He needed to keep these two occupied before reinforcements arrived, and he was just standing there. Allowing them to escape.
The worst thing was that he could only watch.
"In the mean time," Shigaraki chuckled madly, "Why don't I practice on one of your pupils, All Might?!"
Shigaraki charged for the three by-standing students, aiming for Bakugou in particular.
"You... YOU!" Shigaraki screeched madly, "I can't let YOU live after what you were able to do today! You're going to pay for taking down Kurogiri!"
The villain raised his hand as he got closer, rapidly approaching without any halt from All Might.
'Crap!'
All Might trudged towards his students, completely unable to keep up with the spry villain due to his massive disability at the moment. His legs continued to sag behind as he could only watch.
BANG!
Shigaraki paused in his steps. He was staring. Not at anyone in particular, but at his own appendage. His hand.
There was a bloody, steaming hole in the palm of his outstretched hand.
"W-what?"
"Sorry everyone!" a small approaching figure said loudly, "I know we're a bit late–"
'They're here!'
"–But I got the teachers here as fast as I could!" the figure finished, turning out to be Principal Nedzu with the whole board of teachers in tow.
"I FULFILLED MY DUTY AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE!" Tenya Iida shouted at the top of his lungs, not much louder than his normal volume, "AND BROUGHT REINFORCEMENTS!"
The USJ center quickly turned into a war-zone once again as the remaining villain-underlings began to fight back against the heroes. Their efforts were in vain of course, they were completely outclassed by the pro-heroes.
"Aww man," Shigaraki complained as if he just lost a simple game, "The pros are here... it's game over for real this time. Let's go home and–"
Shigaraki was interrupted by multiple bullets to his arms, legs, and torso. Immediately, he jolted and collapsed from the impact. Kurogiri moved to shield his partner from the barrage of ammunition, preparing to send himself and Shigaraki back to wherever they came from.
Kurogiri was about to teleport them when his ghostly body began to drift towards the entrance of the building. It didn't take long for himself and Shigaraki to notice the hero Thirteen using his black hole to pull them in.
Shigaraki took this moment to say his last parting words to All Might.
"I may have failed to kill you this time," Shigaraki said, staring wide-eyed at the hero in question, "But your days are numbered!"
All Might responded with a weak cough that caused a small amount of blood to gush from his mouth.
"All Might, Symbol of Peace," Shigaraki wailed, "I am going to kill you!"
And just like that, he was gone. The hero Thirteen lowered his hand in despair, as he failed to capture the two villains leading this ungodly attack.
Toshinori couldn't hold it any longer. His muscular body evaporated as he turned into his skeletal self. Fortunately, he was shielded from the students by the wall of dust and smoke from his transformation.
The faint sounds of footsteps made themselves louder and louder with every distinct *clap* against the ground. With a small turn of his head, Toshinori noticed that it was Kirishima running towards him.
'Ahh, Kirishima. I'm glad to see that he's looking out for me... wait. OH CRAP WAIT! If he comes over here, he's gonna learn my secret! NOT GOOD!'
Another wave of luck blessed Toshinori that day, as Cementoss arrived seconds before any disaster could occur and saved Toshinori from the massive explanation and cover-up that he would have to perform in order to uphold his reputation.
"For your safety, please stay back young man," Cementoss said smoothly, managing to cover up Toshinori's scrawny form, "Join your classmates at the front gate. Leave the injured to us, we can take care of them."
"Huh," Kirishima blurted, "Well, all right!"
Kirishima redirected his attention to the other classmates.
"Hey guys!" the others turned their heads towards him, "Cementoss says that we gotta wait by the entrance or something!"
Toshinori let out a breath of pure and heartfelt relief.
"Ugh," Toshinori grunted, trying to lift himself off the ground, "Thanks for that Cementoss, you really saved my butt there."
"My pleasure," Cementoss said, "I'm actually a big fan of yours. Anyways, we should sneak you out of here and get you to the nurse's office. This could have turned out disastrously All Might, and you know it."
"Actually," Toshinori frowned, "It did."
Cementoss frowned. It couldn't have been good.
"There weren't any casualties, were there?"
"No!" Toshinori said almost immediately, "No, no. There weren't any casualties. But–"
"Well, then I suggest you put whatever happened in the back of your head and focus on your health at the moment."
Toshinori sighed.
"Alright."
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・Toshinori / All Might
Toshinori had been escorted to the nurse's office with the help of the other pro-heroes. His companions did everything possible to hide him from the students and the police force took the assistance from there.
He was now hooked to an IV drip, being examined excessively by Recovery Girl.
"I can't be sure yet, but I think I shortened my limit again with that fight," Toshinori sighed, "I'll be lucky if I can even hold that form for an hour."
Recovery Girl just frowned in response. There weren't words to be said about this. This was just a fact that no-one wanted to hear.
Before anyone could say another word, Naomasa Tsukauchi, the lead detective of the underrated police department, burst through the door with a clipboard and pen in hand.
"Gah!" Toshinori coughed out blood in surprise at his old friend's spontaneous appearance.
"Hey," Naomasa waved, "No need to have a heart attack! It's just me."
"That's exactly why I had a heart attack."
"Oh."
They sat in an awkward silence for a few moments before Recovery Girl cleared her throat and began typing up medical records on the computer situated in front of her.
"Erm," Naomasa tried to pick up the conversation again, "Can you tell me what happened? Can you tell me about any injuries or, god forbid, casualties?"
"Yeah," Toshinori breathed, "Luckily, no casualties among the students or heroes. No major injuries either, as far as I could tell..."
"Well it seems like everything went well for–"
"But there was one thing that happened"
Naomasa directed his attention to Toshinori.
"A student has been captured," Toshinori said gravelly, "And it's all my fault."
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・Kurogiri
Kurogiri patiently stood behind the bar table, gently wiping the fragile glassware in his hands. He made sure to be careful to not chip the glass, as that would completely ruin the delicate piece of table-ware.
As he was calmly exerting his anger and frustration through cleaning, Shigaraki was throwing a tantrum. The man-child was throwing chairs, bottles, tables, and glasses that Kurogiri had not yet cleaned.
"Ugh! Shot in both arms and both legs! Almost all the underlings were wiped out and Noumu was captured!" Shigaraki grunted as he overturned yet another table, "Why did you have to rush us out of there!? We could have killed him and walked out of there without losing anything!"
"I'm afraid that this was important," Kurogiri calmly stated, "This could be an alternative to actually killing the Symbol of Peace."
"Well," Shigaraki calmed down almost instantly, "I'm waiting. You stopped our attack for this, so it better be something worthwhile or Sensei will punish you in particular."
Kurogiri cringed at the thought of punishment. Sensei was a scary, scary man. Not one to be tussled with.
"Alright," Kurogiri started, "Let me explain."
"Please do take your time," Shigaraki exclaimed sarcastically.
Kurogiri chose to ignore his friend's statement and explain.
"Do you remember the plain-looking student from the attack?"
"The one with messy green hair, right?" Kurogiri nodded to affirm his companion's assessment.
"I believe I was able to warp him to a place out of our world..."
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・Izuku Midoriya - After Warp
Immediately after passing through the villain's portal, Midoriya rolled down the face of a steep hill like a bowling ball down a bowling alley and slammed straight into the foot of the hill face first. He laid there for a few moments, pondering whether or not this is what the afterlife looked and felt like.
It felt kind of... uncomfortable.
As soon as he started to feel the mild concussion in the frontal lobe of his brain, he realized that he was not in fact dead, but alive. He scrambled to his feet almost instantly, clambering along the path he was thrown down.
The villain's portal was still open, he still had a chance to get back to the USJ and help All Might!
Midoriya began to panic extensively when the portal initiated the process of squeezing shut. He gave up trying to run normally and funneled a small bit of One for All's strength into his big toe.
He bolted off, leaving dead leaves and overturned turf in his wake. Due to One for All's intense power, he was able to approach the portal at a much, much faster rate.
Yet, even with the use of his fantastical quirk, he did not make it. The warp gate suddenly slammed shut, not to be seen again.
Midoriya skidded to an abrupt stop and collapsed on his knees, lamenting the loss of his only way home.
'What... what do I do now?'
Fortunately and unfortunately, his question did not remain unanswered for long. The ground began to shake violently every second or so, indicating that there was something huge nearby.
Midoriya, the oblivious personality that he is, waited to see what the noise is. He took a small amount of time to notice that he was in a forest clearing, surrounded by colossal trees about a hundred times his own height. Midoriya wrinkled his nose. The scent of pinecones was invigoratingly strong in this place.
After a few minutes of waiting, a large, humanoid head peeks through the treetops. The huge beast glared down at him with beady, black eyes. It had the appearance of a human, or at least something human-like, but an ample amount larger.
'Are they friendly? Maybe their quirk is gigantification like Mount Lady! I'll just ask them nicely where I am and maybe they'll help me out of here... yeah! Ok Izuku, don't mess this up, don't mess this up...'
"Hello–"
The giant creature howled at Midoriya where it stood. The creature's breath blew Midoriya's messy hair all around before it abruptly stopped and left Izuku staring in utter fear with his mouth hanging wide open.
'Did I really screw it up that quickly?'
The gigantic man-beast began taking slow steps towards Midoriya, grunting its hostility towards his general direction. It's pace then tripled spontaneously and sent Izuku into another adrenaline-fueled panic attack. Midoriya did the only sensible thing a person in his position would have done.
He lifted one leg, pivoted around on his heel, and took off running in the other direction, screaming his head off in a very un-manly manner.
"NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE–"
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・Well... did you like it?
Please review this story because I have no flipping idea how to write a good action scene. Okay, like seriously. Do critique me on this because I have no idea what I'm doing.
Favorite and Follow if you think this is even remotely good (low self-esteem strikes again!).
Things are definitely gonna escalate next chapter. Don't worry about me forgetting about certain important things in the plot, I've been examining both mangas and animes to make sure that I'm not making any mistakes regarding continuity.
I'll probably update this in a month. Thanks for reading!
