Trouble
Jerren and Lazuli walked into the school, happy to be done with Brianne and hoping to continue their mission without any trouble; enter mister Aizawa. As the two entered the classroom of class 1-a, the entire class was dumbfounded, seeing those two just waltzing in. mister Aizawa gave both of them a cold look and his hair was starting to wave slightly, without there being any wind in the room. His eyes went from Jerren to Lazuli and back again, before asking, 'what happened?'
Jerren tried to shrug it off, simply stating, 'I managed to track down where Brianne and her gang had taken Lazuli, I went there, chased them off and saved her. Simple hero work.' Aizawa's hair started to wave around some more and a glimmer could be seen in both his eyes, while some veins started pulsing around his temples, 'so, you're telling me that you, a transfer student, went out and used his quirk to harm others, without having an official hero license?' Jerren realized he should have phrased it differently, but now the damage had been done and he nodded.
Mister Aizawa's hair now fully stood up and his eyes turned red. And while neither of them had any quirks his quirk could turn off, both of them did feel intimidated by his deadly stare, mixed with his anger, as he said, 'that's against the law! You behaved no different than a villain! Using your quirk to hurt someone, even if your goal was to safe someone, without the full knowledge and authority of a Hero, you are not allowed to do that!'
both Jerren and Lazuli bowed their heads, apologizing together, 'I'm sorry.' mister Aizawa's hair went down and his eyes regained their normal dark color, before he sighed, 'I can't really blame you Lazuli, since you were attacked and used your quirk to defend yourself. I will simply give you a warning. Jerren, on the other hand! He actively sought them out to fight. In order to save you, but still. He gets a warning to not do that as well, along with a week of detention! Be glad I don't call the American U.A. to let them know what happened. From now on, no more using your quirks outside of school grounds' Both of them nodded and as things seemed to have blown over, they went to their seats and class continued.
While in the back of class, while some fellow students looked at them and mister Aizawa looked at them from time to time, while also paying attention to the lesson, somewhat, they were also brainstorming on what they would do now. They imagined their fellow students would want to know what happened and likely Mina and Ashido, if not Kaminari and Sero would start asking questions the moment class was over; they would need a story. But more importantly, they could see mister Aizawa taking them with him after class, maybe to the principle, than have them explain the full story. They would need to be able to tell a story the other could corroborate.
So, using a bit more of their full power, they wrote notes and passed them to the other at high speed, while also taking class notes at normal speed, so they wouldn't look suspicious at all. They were coming up with a time and place, since Jerren had already laid some ground work this morning when he had been on his way to school. Going to an abandoned building, blasting the place with some ki attacks, smashing, bashing and crashing some walls, while also leaving a chair with some iron cable ropes. Exchanging the address and the scene of three on one until he had freed her, chasing them away. Eventually they had completed their story, softly repeated it in their minds, while focusing on class work.
And indeed, after class mister Aizawa told them to follow him, he called up some other teachers, like class 1-b's homeroom teacher, All-Might, the school nurse Recovery Girl and principle Nezu. The latter they found interesting, as he was some sort of animal. A large mouse, a dog, a tiny bear, maybe a weasel? But his quirk made him smarter than humans. The look the two of them gave each other said it all; he might be a candidate for recruitment to their cause.
As they were asked what had happened, Jerren and Lazuli explained the story they had come up with; Jerren had gone looking for Lazuli's ki. Since he could use his own in his body, he could track hers. This is how he found her tied up in a building, with Brianne and her cronies using their quirks on her. Because of her android body quirk, they hadn't managed to do all that much damage to her, but it was still annoying. They explained the fight and how the three of them finally escaped, using the same portal as before. The teachers believed them and now the only thing the wondered about; who had helped those three. For none of them had a portal quirk.
But with this said and done, the two were allowed to go back to class and they continued studying. After the next lesson ended and the teacher left, like they had expected, Mina, Ashido, Kirishima and Sero began asking them questions as to what had happened. And the rest of the class also listened as they gave the same explanation they had given to the teachers, though a bit shorter, as the next teacher would come soon to teach their next class.
As school ended that day, Jerren and Lazuli now had a good reason to indeed not walk home together, since Jerren had detention.
The next day, a lot of news crews had gathered around the school entrance and many students were spoken to, but mostly students from class 1-a and 1-b, as those were the main hero classes. How the press had found out about that was a question for another time, as all the media were asking about All-Might, the symbol of peace and justice and the number 1 hero in the world. What was he like as a teacher? As Jerren and Lazuli walked by, the media flocked to them right away and bombarded them with questions about All-Might. They quickly became quiet as Lazuli's ice cold glare froze their speech in their verbal tracks and as Jerren and Lazuli walked through the entrance, Jerren added, 'Journalists are abominations! No sense for other people's privacy!' they left some shocked reporters behind.
As they got to class, they expected it to be like normal, following classes while they scanned the school for possible candidates to help them. So far they had scanned all their teachers and only three seemed to really be capable of helping out. All-Might as a front line tank. Principle Nezu as a strategist. And Recovery Girl as a medic. But as Aizawa entered class, with his usual nonchalant dramatic flare he let them know; they had to choose a class representative. A lot of people wanted to be class rep, so Iida proposed that they would go and vote; majority rule.
Jerren and Lazuli had only been here for a few days, so they knew they wouldn't be getting offers and the way the others had been talking, they were likely to vote for themselves. So, they would choose someone else. Who in this class had the most potential to be the greatest hero? They both looked toward the green messy hair of Midoriya and voted for him. The reason they chose him for his quirk, abilities and potential; because they didn't know him or anyone else all that personally yet. So, this was the best option.
So, in the end, when all the votes were counted, Lazuli, Jerren, Iida, Uraraka and Todoroki had 0 votes. Many of the others had only 1 vote, Momo Yaoyorozu had 2 votes and Izuku Midoriya had 5 votes. This enraged Bakugo, who could not accept for some reason that Midoriya had been made over class rep. This lead to someone commenting on no one choosing him with his explosive temper, to which he proved their point by lashing out verbally against them. Midoriya was shaking, a nervous wreck in front of the class with his new position, with Yaoyorozu as his deputy.
During the lunch break, as the two went by scanning students they hadn't screened yet, they over heard that Iida had voted for Midoriya and they had a suspicion that Uraraka had also voted for him. Iida because he respected Midoriya for his heroic spirit and ability. And Uraraka because she admired him and his goal; to be the number 1 hero. Those two had chosen because of actual reasons; but they had known him longer than the two of them.
Jirou, who had kept an eye on the two since they had come back to class, seeing them sit together during lunch, wanted to go and talk to them about what had really happened, but just as she walked forward, alarms started ringing and all the students started to panic. Everyone started trying to leave, but all at once, through one exit; everyone got blocked. From third years they heard these alarms only sounded when there were intruders on the campus grounds. And they had only heard it from third years before them, as it had never heard the alarm in all 3 years they had been here!
Jerren and Lazuli looked at each other, while they were stuck in the crowd. Neither of them had noticed this intruder, but they had been busy scanning students for their cause. And a quick scan through the building only revealed that about all students were panicking. But it also revealed a lot of people outside. And as they looked out the window, they saw the Media had trespassed on school grounds. But just as they saw this, Iida was send spinning and flying over everyone's heads, landing on the sign of the emergency exit in that exact character pose, drawing everyone's attention by loudly and clearly telling everyone it was only the media that had gotten in and that the teachers were handling it.
After lunch break was over and the media had been evicted from the school grounds, everything having gone back to normal, the students returned to their classes. And Midoriya had an announcement, that he wished to appoint Iida as the class rep, with himself stepping down. Mister Aizawa didn't really care who was class rep and Iida gladly took the position. Midoriya seemed to be happy to not have that responsibility, Iida seemed glad to have it and Momo seemed a bit irritated that someone with 0 votes got the title of class rep before her. Jerren and Lazuli calmly watched all of this happen, while the rest of the class accepted it and some of the boys called their new class rep; emergency exit Iida.
Jiro, who had wanted to ask Jerren and Lazuli for the truth, had lost her chance, as she didn't want to draw the entire class's attention to herself by calling Jerren and Lazuli out on their talk of a mission. But as school ended, Lazuli left and Jerren remained for his detention. And Jiro also went home, as she had to do some homework.
The next morning, after the normal morning classes were over, mister Aizawa lead his class outside and to a bus, where Iida tried to take charge and have them sit in the bus according to their student number. But the layout of the bus was different from what he had thought and everyone pretty much sat where they wanted to. All they knew was they were going to a location where they would train for rescue missions and that it was a relatively new location.
Some of the students had wondered if Jerren and Lazuli would be okay, ready for some action after what they had been through recently, but it seemed they were tougher than the others had thought. And while Jerren and Lazuli sat and looked at their surroundings, when Jiro came to sit with them, while all the others were focusing on whose quirks were hero material and the two who stood out were Bakugou and Todoroki. Though the temper of the former was awakened when he was called out on his temper, which would not make him popular, followed by some more insults being thrown his way.
As Jiro looked at them, she frowned, 'so; where did you two really go when Lazuli was kidnapped?' Jerren blinked, 'I already told you. Just like I told the rest of our class and the teachers. Didn't you pay attention?' Jiro scowled at him, 'I did listen and it sounded like a made up story. So; I don't believe you.' Jerren sighed, 'why would you not believe us?' Jiro looked from Jerren to Lazuli and back, before answering, 'the two of you were talking about a mission before. Plus I have noticed you acting strange, all that looking around you seem to do during lunch break.'
Jerren frowned and looked out the window, while Lazuli answered, 'fine, if it means you stop butting into our personal space. Our school gave us a mission; to learn from All-Might's example, as well as scout the future heroes with the most potential. As Heroes can move to other countries, America wishes to know who they might be able to count on in the future. That's why I got irritated with Jerren when he seemed to be flirting with Brianne, instead of focusing on our mission.' Jiro nodded and also looked out the window. This explanation indeed sounded like it could be the truth.
As the bus stopped, they had arrived at a large dome. And inside was another Hero who was also a teacher. She wore a large wide space suit hero costume and her hero name; 13. Lazuli smiled at the number, remembering how she had been labeled when she had been made into an android. And behind 13 were many manufactured disaster areas, while 13 explained that they would be practicing rescue operations in different settings, while also explaining Aizawa's fitness quirk test and All-Might's battle simulation. Now the students knew what they could do, but should also be aware of how dangerous their powers could be, like hers; black hole.
As all of this happened and Aizawa stepped up to 13 to tell her something which he kept whispered, both Lazuli and Jerren sensed something weird happening in the middle of the dome and as they looked, a dark purple gate opened up, though it felt different from Brianne's portal. And walking in were a man covered in hands, a man covered in dark purple shadows, similar to the portal and a huge hulking beast man with a visible brain, followed by more people, who could only be villains.
Danger
as the pros became aware of the invaders, they warned their students, telling them; they are villains. This spooked some of the students and, while far away, they could hear the man covered in hands saying something about All-Might and that he should have been here, since he had brought so many people who had wanted to meet him. Aizawa stepped forward, leaving it to 13 to get their students out of danger. Jerren and Lazuli, while more than capable of helping, followed 13 to the exit.
At the ceiling in the center of the dome, someone appeared. No one noticed her, not even Jerren and Lazuli, for this creature had a ki beyond the level they could sense. She had light blue skin, lavender eyes, white hair which she had put into a braid. A light blue halo hovered around her neck. Her attire consists of purple robes, a black cuirass, and a pink sash. She held a dark pink staff in her hand with a dark orb up top, with a light blue halo around it as well. She looked around at where she had arrived, before seeing the villains and potential heroes down below. A fight between good and evil; that's always something she, Kusu, liked to watch.
Jerren and Lazuli looked back and saw, while having sensed mister Aizawa's power to not be that high at all; his fighting skill and experience were on another level. The way he used his body as a weapon, his scarf as a capture weapon, together in combination with his quirk was very impressive. But just as they saw how he was busy dealing with a dozen villains all on his own, they noticed one of the three villains in the background had disappeared.
And as they sensed him, they looked forward and saw the man covered in purple flowing shadows appear before them. The shadow man spoke in a somewhat echoing voice, there is no escape for you. It's a pleasure to meet you. We are the league of villains. I know it's impolite, but we've decided to invite ourselves into this haven of justice to say hello. And besides; isn't this a fitting place for All-Might, the symbol of peace, to take his last breath?! I believe he was supposed to be here today and yet I see no sign of him. There must have been some sort of change in plans we could not have foreseen. Aah well, in the end I suppose it doesn't matter. I still have a role to play.'
13 opened one of the finger tips of her suit, but than Bakugo and Kirishima jumped forward, attacking the villain in front of them. But as the smoke of Bakugo's explosion cleared, the shadow man was still there, 'you live up to your school's reputation. But you should be more careful children. Otherwise someone might get hurt!'
13 yelled at the two of them to get out of the way, but the shadow man made his move quicker, saying he would spread the students around the facility, where they would his comrades and their death! Spreading out his portal shadows over the group, catching almost everyone and sending them in differing numbers to differing locations of what would have been rescue scenarios.
Jerren ended up falling in the water, sensing Midoriya, Tsuyu and Mineta in the water as well, as well as a group of villains who likely had water quircks. While Tsuyu grabbed Midoriya and Mineta and pulled both of them onto a boat in the middle of the lake, Jerren swam a little longer, knocked three villains out of the water in a stair formation, before jumping out of the water and using them as stepping stones, kicking them back into the water, before landing on the boat as well.
Lazuli had been moved to the mountain side, along with Todoroki and, according to her senses, Hagakure was with them as well. Though she was invisible and leaving her shoes and gloves behind, she went to hide behind some rocks.
Kusu looked all around the USJ facility, sensing where everyone was send, both strong and weak heroes to be, with larger groups of villains ganging up on them. She knew her master had send her to this universe on an errand, but he knew how long it took to travel from one universe to another and that she would need some recharge time before returning. Not to mention the time it would take her to get what she came on this errand for. So, in the mean time, she could watch this battle, while hoping the heroes would win, of course.
Jerren, Midoriya, Tsuyu and Mineta gathered together on the boat, while about twenty five, if not more bad guys with water related quirks surrounded the boat, slowly closing in, but still keeping enough distance. Jerren saw this, as did Midoriya, both of them thinking the same thing; these villains didn't know the abilities of these students. Otherwise Tsuyu, with her frog quirk, would have been send to the burning building, not to a place with a lot of water. What they needed to do now; was know what the other's quirks could do and figure out a plan on how to defeat these bad guys and get out of here. Mineta turned on the waterworks, crying as he said they should wait for the real heroes to come and save them.
After explaining what their quirks could do; Midoriya able to strengthen his body to a dangerous amount. So much so that he would break his body if he did, so he resorts to just sending the force to small parts at a time. Tsuyu has all the abilities of a frog, climbing on surfaces, swimming quickly, stretching out her tongue and spitting out an acid mucus. Jerren told them; 'I can control and manifest my ki. It's similar to Midoriya, that I can strengthen my body. But I can also use it to allow myself to fly and shoot out blasts of ki. Though, when I use it all up, I am just a normal guy, with combat experience, who has to wait for his ki to build up again.' and Mineta, he could pop of the balls on his head, that stick to everything except him, as he bounces off of them. Though he started to cry again, lacking confidence in himself and his quirk.
After quickly forming a plan, especially after one of the villains in the water launched a large water attack that cut the boat in half, they jumped into action! Jerren jumped into the sky, flying, shooting ki blasts at the furthest enemies, getting them to come closer, before Midoriya jumped off of the boat and shot out a blast of pressure that created a sink hole in the water, before the hole started to draw in water to fill it up. Tsuyo jumped off the boat, carrying Mineta, who threw a lot of his sticky balls into the water. With all of this drawn in together, all the water villains were stuck together.
Tsuyu grabbed Midoriya with her tongue and the three of them landed in the water, before they carefully swum toward where mister Aizawa was fighting. Jerren looked toward mister Aizawa and noticed that his fighting power was slowly going down. But if he continued that way, he would likely take down all the villains, especially if he turned off their quirks, before he ran out of strength. He nodded and turned his eyes toward Lazuli and flew toward her.
Lazuli had dodged Todoroki's ice bursts, while knocking some villains down and out, while noticing how Hagakure was out of the line of danger. But as she watched Todoroki fight, she knew one side of his body could use ice and the other fire; but he was only using his ice. Though in this situation she could understand. Wanting to be a hero, he didn't want to kill anyone. And freezing someone was more effective in that regard than using his flames to burn them. Sure, freezing could hurt someone, but burn wounds could be worse. Though; in the end, both could lead to death. Either way; he had an immense amount of potential to help them.
Just as she thought this, Jerren landed next to her and Todoroki, 'hey guys, I just discovered something. These villains; they don't know what our quirks are. Except for the teachers, of course.' he explained the situation of Tsuyu being send to the shipwreck zone. Todoroki nodded, 'thanks, that's useful info. Now, for what that portal guy said, about All-Might,...' a villain that tried to attack him from behind got frozen completely except for his head, 'I guess we can ask you what your plan is. Staying encased in ice like that might get you frostbite. Though since I want to be a hero, I suppose I'll keep you alive. If you answer my questions!'
the villain nodded and answered their questions; how were their communications being blocked, how did they know that All-Might should have been at the USJ today and what was their plan on taking him down. His answers; an electric quirk blocked their communications, as well as all the alarms in this place. With the press getting in yesterday, Tomura had gone into the school and found the info before getting out with the press he had let in. and to defeat All-Might they would use the biggest most muscular villain, the one with a bird face and the brain coming out of his head.
Todoroki nodded, placed his left hand on the ice and thawed the villain out, as well as all the other villains he had frozen so far, followed quickly by Jerren and Lazuli knocking them out, before Lazuli looked over to the entrance. Jerren had sensed it too; 13's energy was going down quickly. She had been seriously injured. And with the teacher out of commission meant the other students were in danger. Todoroki saw the two of them looking and he too saw 13 had collapsed. Lazuli looked at the boys, 'I'll go back up the others as best I can. Can you guys deal with this situation here?' the boys nodded and Lazuli dashed of toward 13 and her fellow students.
Todoroki looked around at the defeated villains, before looking down at mister Aizawa, who was now fighting the villain covered in hands, with the big brain guy closing in. he looked back at Jerren, 'it looks like these guys won't be getting up any time soon. I am going to help down there as best I can. Hope you don't mind taking care of things here.' Jerren nodded and watched as Todoroki ran down the hill.
He looked over to a rock and smiled, 'okay Hagakure, you can come out now.' a voice out of nowhere replied, 'you knew I was here?' Jerren nodded as he pulled a long rolled up piece of string from his uniform, 'my ki quirk also allows me to sense the ki of others. Even if they cannot use their own ki. This is how I knew you were there. Would you mind helping me with tying these guys hands behind their back, as well as their ankles. Simply wrap it around, attach it to the rest of the string and it will attach and detach, allowing you to tie up the next guy.' Hagakure put her gloves and shoes on again and took the string, 'sure thing.' he took out some more string and helped her with tying up the villains.
Lazuli arrived at 13's side and watched how the portal shadow guy was still blocking everyone's path, but also heard the plan. Since Iida was the fastest one here, the plan was to get him to the door, so he could get out and get help. But how would they get by someone who could transport anything he touched? Lazuli cracked a small smile, before smashing the ground they were standing on, before pulling up some rocks and tossing them to the villain. This, along with the smoke her smash had produced blocked his vision. Satou and Shoji followed her example, also pulling up large rocks and tossing them at him.
However, the dust was quickly dispersed by him and the rocks were dropped down on them from above, though Lazuli kicked them out of the way. Iida had now reached the door and was opening it. The villain turned around and launched at him. But as he did, as he stretched his shadows too thin, a piece of neck armor could be seen. And Uraraka grabbed it, using her 0 gravity quirk, making it more difficult for him to get at Iida. Sero shot tape at the armor and pulled it back, before giving it to Sato, who spun it around and she shadows were spun around with it, giving Iida all the time he needed to open the door and run outside. Soon enough he would come back with reinforcements against these villains.
Jerren looked at the door and smiled, 'looks like our class rep is out. Soon enough the pros will come to help us.' Hagakure jumped up and cheered with joy. He smiled too, but than he felt it, as if he screamed out in pain in his ears. Mister Aizawa's energy was dropping quick and as he looked, the big brain guy was busy pummeling and breaking him. Even when mister Aizawa turned off the monster's quirk, it still continued breaking him. He couldn't allow this act of sadistic torment!
He dashed off, right as the shadow guy returned, telling the man with the hands they had failed. He said it was game over, time to go home, but not before wounding the symbol of hope's pride by killing some of his students! He turned to Midoriya, Tsuyu and Mineta, but as he touched Tsuy, mister Aizawa turned off his quirk with the last bit of his concious might, before the beats, Noumu, knocked his face to the ground, knocking him out.
The hand covered man, Tomura Shigaraki, turned his attention back to Tsuyu, stretching out his hands with his disintegration quirk. Midoriya jumped out of the water, attacking him, but Noumu stepped in the way. But just at that moment, Jerren arrived, having charged his leg with Ki and with a fully powered kick, backed up by his flying speed, kicked Noumu so hard against the side of his head, the great beast was knocked off the ground, over the plaza before landing and creating a deep crater.
And with Noumu kicked out of the way, Tomura stood shocked that anyone had been able to knock his Noumu to the ground. And with no Noumu in the way, nothing blocked Midoriya's punch, which hit him square in his left ribs, before a powerful shockwave followed and knocked him against a tree.
Battle conclusion
At that moment, the entrance door was blown off its hinges by a powerful blow. And while both Jerren and Lazuli could sense who it was, lazuli could also see him. All-Might had arrived. But this time, he was not smiling. An angry scowl rested on his face and his energy burned intensely, as he walked by his students, 'I couldn't shake the feeling that something had gone wrong when Aizawa and 13 didn't answer my calls. So I hurried over, running into young Iida along the way. He told me of the villainy at work here. Have no fear students! Because I AM HERE!' he tore of his tie and his anger seemed to intensify, it being aimed at the villains.
At this point, some of the villains mister Aizawa had knocked out were starting to wake up, seeing All-Might had arrived. Some were a bit scared and intimidated by how big and buff the guy was. But others saw this as their chance to take him down. This moment was cut short, really short, by All-Might himself. In the blink of an eye all the villains were knocked out and to the ground again and he had reached mister Aizawa, gently picking him up, before seeing Tsuyu and Mineta in the water and Midoriya and Jerren who had both just knocked down a villain on their own. Even so, he dashed by all of them, pulling them away from danger.
As they were safe, for now, Jerren told All-Might about the villains they had faced so far, the location and the fact these villains had come here to kill him specifically, meaning it was likely they had brought something here to kill him. And as he explained this, Lazuli noticed something.
She saw Momo and Kyouko, with many villains lying on the ground around them, but one villain still standing and he held Kaminari hostage and seemed to threaten to kill him if they didn't do as he said! With 13 in good hands and her classmates in danger, she dashed of toward them, just as the guy raised his hand with an electrical charge to fry Kaminari. She grabbed his wrist from behind, before swinging herself around him, before kneeing him in the face, knocking him out and against the ground. Kaminari fell to his knees, seeming somewhat dazed, as if he didn't know what had happened.
Lazuli turned toward the girls, 'are you okay?' Momo sighed in relief, 'thanks to you we are. Thanks for saving us.' Kyouka nodded, somewhat avoiding looking Lazuli in the eyes, 'yes, what she said.' having found Lazuli suspicious and now being saved by her made this situation a tad awkward. Lazuli nodded, looking to the guy next to her, 'and you, you okay Kaminari?'
he stood hunched over, somewhat panting, before looking up with a dumb smile, raising both thumbs and slightly wiggling in his moves, 'yay!' Kyouka burst out laughing as she saw his reaction, as well as his dumb face. Momo smiled, 'that's what happens when he overuses his quirk; his electricity fries his brain.' Kaminari stumbled forward somewhat, shaking his thumbs up, still dizzily smiling, 'yay!' Kyouka continued laughing and Lazuli, turning her back to him and the other two girls, cracked a small smile, almost letting out a chuckle.
Back with All-Might, Jerren and Midoriya, with Tsuyu and Mineta having carried mister Aizawa to safety, Kurogiri appeared by Tomura, who lay curled up on the ground, covering his ribs, a few of which might be broken. Kurogiri helped him up and held him up. As the two talked about what had happened, that one kid kicking Noumu out of the way and the other breaking Tomura's ribs, Jerren focused on them, ready to this, not noticing how All-Might and Midoriya both looked at Midoriya's right arm, which was not broken, before both of them also focused on the villains before them, before Tomura called out, 'NOUMU!'
with a loud crash, the big brute jumped out of the concrete floor and landed in front of the other two villains. Jerren was surprised to see it back and as if nothing happened, 'how can that beast even be standing right now. The strength and ki I hit it with should have knocked it out for half a day!' Tomura chuckled through the pain, 'that won't work on Noumu. He was especially made to kill the likes of All-Might, having both shock absorption and a quick regeneration quirk, as well as natural strength on par with All-Might, he's like a punching bag that fights back. Any blow you hit it with is negated by shock absorption, any damage done will be healed automatically, all the while he keeps hitting back! So, thanks to coming to your own demise All-Might!'
Tomura laughed, while Noumu rushed forward. All-might charged back at the villain and hit it. But like Tomura had said, it had no effect. Even though Jerren could tell he had put a lot of strength into the attack. But something was strange. Now that he paid better attention to All-Might, he noticed he was only putting out half as much energy as before. Noumu tried to fight back, while All-Might dodged and kept on punching, but they continued to have no effect, only getting Noumu more riled up!
Having found the creature's speed and strength, All-Might moved behind the beast, grabbed it tight around its body, pulled it off the ground, performing a powerful suplex, planning to put Noumu into the ground! But instead, a warp gate appeared, on two spots, one letting All-Might's torso in, the other letting him and the other half of Noumu out. Noumu than grabbed All-Might by his side, squeezing so hard he actually made the hero bleed!
The other two villains discussed what to do now, with Kurogiri planning to shut his warp gate around All-Might and squeezing until he snaps in half. Preferring to not have blood inside his warp gates, but making an exception for the symbol of peace!
Jerren and Midoriya were prepared to rush forward, when a sudden ice flash went by both of them, freezing one of the two legs Noumu had managed to put on the ground and going by half his body and freezing the arm that had grabbed All-Might, without freezing the hero at all. Tomura and Kurogiri were surprised by Todoroki's appearance and action, before Kirishima jumped out, attacking Tomura, making him stumble backwards and fall. And as Kurogiri wanted to help him, an explosion to his neck armor knocked him to the ground. And with Bakugo sitting down on his neck armor and continuously launching small explosions, he kept him pinned.
All-Might used this distraction to his advantage, breaking out of Noumu's frozen grip and moving out of the warp gate, before backing off and calling his students to him. As they came, he told them to stay out of this now, as they didn't have their hero licenses yet. He was thankful for their help and they had done well. Now he would finish this fight!
Noumu's frozen body broke off of him and it pulled itself out of the warp gate as well, before collapsing on one leg, before regrowing the arm, the leg and the side it had lost and standing up again. Toumura, in quite a bit of pain due to Midoriya's earlier punch and now mentally and physically upset that none of his plans were working, told Noumu to attack again. He and Kurogiri planned to deal with the kids. But as All-Might and Noumu struck again, that plan was blown out of the water, as the force of the impacts caused shockwaves, which in turn created powerful gusts of wind!
Jerren and Lazuli, who was on her way over to help, both sensed something they had never encountered before! All-Might's power, which had been at half his power before, suddenly skyrocketed, than dropped again; punch after punch after punch! He kept pushing himself to go beyond his power, while he was clearly in a weakened state, making the two of them wonder how long he could keep that up before he himself went down!
During All-Might's beat down of Noumu, he exclaimed, 'he said your power was shock absorption, not nullification! That mean's there's a limit to how much you can take; RIGHT?!' All-Might seemed to increase the speed of his punches, but Noumu still got a punch on him, on the wound All-Might had. But he didn't give up yet! He kept on fighting, as he exclaimed; 'so, you were made to fight me big guy? If you can withstand me firing at 100% of my power; than I'll have to go beyond that AND FORCE YOU TO SURRENDER!'
even though All-Might's power had already skyrocketed, now it went even higher and the speed of his punches increased also, surpassing Noumu's ability of shock absorption and the students could hear the creature screech in pain. The healing could also not keep up with the relentless and merciless barrage of punches that created a small storm of wind within the dome. And as only a few people would be able to see, all those punches were targeting specific areas!
As All-Might continued to fight, he also continued exclaiming his believes, so his students could hear it; 'a true hero, will always find a way for justice to be served!' with a small bit of jumping, sky fighting and wrestling, All-Might tossed Noumu to the ground, creating a creater in the ground, five times the size of the crater Jerren had created when he had kicked Noumu at full speed and power.
As AllMight landed before Noumu, he finished, 'now for a lesson! You may have heard these words before; but I will teach you what they really mean! GO BEYOND! PLUS ULTRA!' he delivered the most powerful punch of the entire fight to Noumu's solar plexus, before launching him into the sky and through the roof of the dome, higher into the sky and even through several layers of clouds; kilometers high. Had any human taken that punch, nothing would remain of them!
Kirishima, Bakugo and Todoroki all admired All-Might massive brute strength and the technique of beating Noumu, while Midoriya stood in awe. As the smoke cleared, All-Might emerged and he beat himself on the chest, 'I really have gotten weaker. Back in my hay day, 5 hits would have been enough to take that guy out. But today; it took more than 300 mighty blows!' Jerren stood in awe of that statement. If what All-Might was saying now was true, with such power and a difference of 295 punches, in his prime All-Might might have been the only one they would have needed to recruit to win their battle. And even being this strong now, no wonder he was this planet's symbold of peace and justice!
But just as he thought this, he noticed that All-Might's power was going down at an incredible rate. It was not like he was seriously injured like mister Aizawa and 13, but it seemed like him pushing his powers to the extend he had just showed was now lashing back at him. If it continued dropping at this rate, it would soon hit the area of 5% and below.
But while he could tell what was happening on the inside with his power, Kurogiri noticed All-Might was out of breath and while he tried to act tough and frighten them in surrendering or fleeing, instead Kurogiri and Tomura attacked. Lazuli and Jerren both quickly rushed to help All-Might, but surprising both of them, so did Midoriya, jumping in at full force, breaking both his legs, but still reading his arm for a smash!
Kurogiri reacted to this, creating a warp gate, which Tomura stuck his right hand through, with his disintegrating touch, his hand came out close to Midoriya, who couldn't stop in mid air. As both Jerren and Lazuli prepared to blasts both villains with their ki blasts, a bullet went through Tomura's hand, before also hitting his other arm and both of his legs. Combined with his broken ribs, he collapsed to the ground in pain. The other pro heroes had arrived and Snipe had taken aim and fired, while now the other pros started to take out the villains who were still awake, regaining consciousness and were still out for the count.
Kurogiri wanted to warp him and Tomura out of there, but as he tried, 13 opened the locks on all 5 of her fingers and with a focused target, tried to suck him away. But in her pain, she could not focus for long. But it had been long enough! Jerren dropped a ki charged round house kick against Kurogiri's neck armor, knocking him to the ground and out for the count, while Lazuli chopped Tomura against the neck, knocking him out. While it had started out chaotic, in the end; the heroes had beaten the villains!
At this point, Kusu appeared in front of them, applauding and cheering, 'yay, you did it! Good has vanquished evil. The heroes have beaten the villains. Oh that was such an amazing show! Congratulations! Oh this needs to be celebrated! And that can only be done in style and the only real style for a party of that size to celebrate good beating evil is back home!'
with everyone surprised at the appearance of this unexpected visitor, of whom Jerren and Lazuli couldn't sense the ki, she moved so fast they didn't even see her. And All-Might, Midoriya, Todoroki, Bakugo and Kirishima only noticed where she was when she had lifted both Lazuli and Jerren over both her shoulders, created a portal with her staff, before flying through it.
This was such a strange moment. A long, chaotic and hard battle had been fought and won. The self proclaimed league of villains had been beaten; none of them had escaped,... except for Noumu perhaps, who had likely landed somewhere outside. All the chaos and villainy seemed to have been at an end and than suddenly this stranger drops in, for no other reason than to congratulate the heroes on their win, wanting to celebrate and to do so, she takes two of said heroes off the battle field and to who knows where that she called her home.
The heroes rounded up all the villains. Those who had dangerous quirks were put in specialized containment units so they couldn't use their quirks. And while most students were happy it was over and all heroes were happy everyone was safe, with only All-Might and Midoriya having suffered none threating injuries, the only concern was; where were the two transfer students.
As Jerren and Lazuli woke up, the were on a large plain with some sort of festive decorations around them, music sounding, tables with exquisite food and drinks on it stalled out and they didn't know where they were.
Interlude
as Jerren and Lazuli were knocked out and taken through a portal by Kusu, Kurogiri woke up, realizing the situation they were in. but the heroes seemed to be distracted by something else. As he quickly glanced, he saw a small blue skinned girl take away the two troublesome students who had obstructed him and Tomura from escaping. But, with the heroes now distracted, he quickly jumped on top of Tomura, activating his warp quirk and just as the heroes noticed his movements, the two villains had escaped.
After this, all the students were brought outside, except for Midoriya, who had broken his legs. And All-Might was shielded from sight by Cementos, before he too was brought to recovery girl. As the students came outside, they all talked about what had happened; the battles they had been in, the villains they had faced. While this had been a scary and deadly situation, all of them had made it out relatively unscathed.
Aoyama, wanting to stand out, asked every group of students where they thought he had been, if they had missed him, but no one seemed to react to him. Only Tsuyu, as the last person asked, responded to humor him, 'where were you send?' he replied; 'that's a secret.' while he tried to take a flashy pose.
Many police showed up with capture vehicles, as about 70 villains had been captured. Most of these already had criminal records, but were only small time thugs. Not really what one would expect of a league of villains. But the catch of the day; Noumu. Some who had seen the huge beast fight would have thought capturing it would have been difficult, if not impossible except for All-Might. But, it had been chained and seemed very compliant, not resisting in the slightest.
Some of the students were worried about Midoriya, since he wasn't here. But those same students were also worried about Jerren and Lazuli. Jirou, hearing the two of them were missing, became somewhat suspicious of their sudden disappearance after such a hectic battle. And Tsuyu also found it strange.
Kirishima, the more talkative of him, Todoroki and Bakugo, explained what had happened; a small blue skinned white haired girl had suddenly showed up, just as the fight had ended, talking about good winning over evil, being all excited, saying this needed to be celebrated and wanting to do it at home, before moving with such speed, grabbing both of them, tossing both over one of her shoulders, before dashing through a portal and disappearing.
Jirou, having heard Brianne and her gang had used a portal, now hearing of another portal, found it strange. First Lazuli was kidnapped, now they were both kidnapped. But this person wanted to celebrate their victory with a party. That made no sense. That could have been done as a group, but she only took the two of them. Her suspicion, just put to rest, was awakened again. But this time, as she looked around, she could see the same concerned yet suspicious look in the eyes of Tsuyu and Shoji. Bakugo didn't really seem to care, probably thinking Jerren and Lazuli losers for being taken. Yet Todoroki, while remaining calm, seemed also focused on the situation. And some of the pros were also concerned about the two transfer students.
{Meanwhile, in the villain hide out}
Kurogiri and Shigaraki arrived. Both of them had been seriously hurt, especially Tomura; physically and emotionally. Shot wounds in his arms and legs, his ribs were broken and the punch of that kid might have damaged his lungs. The only reason he had managed to go on this long was the adrenaline pumping through his veins at the thought of possibly killing All-Might. Kurogiri wasn't as hurt as Tomura, but the hits he had taken on his neck armor,... if it hadn't been there, he might have broken his neck today.
Tomura cringed in pain, 'aaah, shot in both arms and legs,... broken ribs,... all those underlings wiped out. And even Noumu was beaten. We failed! And those kids were so strong! and;... the symbol of peace,... he,... he wasn't weakened,... at all! You were wrong master! SO WRONG!' he coughed up blood, having strained his damaged body by talking angrily.
His master's voice, which came from a computer with the words; "Only Sound" on them, replied, 'no, I wasn't. We just weren't as prepared as we should have been.' another man added, 'I agree. We underestimated them. Thankfully we failed under the cheap league of villains name, and not our own. And what about the creature that the master and I created? Where is Noumu?' the master joined in, 'yes; why is he not with you?'
Kurogiri replied, 'he was blown away.' the other man replied angrily; 'WHAT?' Kurogiri went on, 'it was All-Might's doing. Without coordinates to his precise location, I couldn't use my warp to bring him with us! We didn't have any time to search for him.' the other man replied, 'this is a travesty! And after all we did to make him as powerful as All-Might!' the master replied, 'well, I suppose I can't be helped. Unfortunately.'
Tomura piped up, still lying on the ground, 'power,... that reminds me. … there were two kids there! One,... one was strong enough,... to kick Noumu off the ground and,... wuite a distance away! And another,... who managed to break my ribs. The,... the latter one,... he tried to protect All-Might. He was just as fast as him!' the master seemed very intrigued when he replied, 'oh?' Tomura went on, 'if that kid, the other one and a girl hadn't gotten in our way,... we might have killed the symbol of peace! That brat! Those brats!'
his master replied, 'naturally you're upset. But this was not a futile mission. We've learned many things. Gather the villainous elite. Take all the time you need. I must remain hidden in the shadows. Which is why I need you to be my face. A symbol of your own. Tomura Shigaraki; next time you will show the world, that it should be afraid of you!'
{meanwhile, somewhere completely different}
Jerren and Lazuli walked around the festive decorated plain, watching the tables with much food on them, food which they hadn't seen before, same for the drinks. Music sounded and it seemed like they were at a party. But they didn't see anyone else here. As they looked at each other, they both confirmed what they and the other were thinking; sense where they are and how far they might be from their previous location.
They closed their eyes,... they sensed and sensed,... but they could only feel three unknown planets around them. When fully concentrating on sensing; that's how far they could go. But, this place was completely unknown to them. And as they stood there, both of them were startled by a young female voice, 'ah, you're up! Welcome! Now the party can begin.'
both opened their eyes, looked at where the voice had come from and saw the girl who had knocked them out and who had seemingly brought them here. But, like before; they could see her, but they didn't sense her energy at all. She smiled at them, walked by the tables, grabbed two glasses and gave both of them a glass and grabbed a glass herself, 'a toast; to the defeat of evil! To the victory of good; drink up!' while she had a swig of her drink, both Jerren and Lazuli looked at her in confusion, before Jerren asked, 'where are we? Why did you bring us here?'
she looked at him with a smile, 'this is universe 10, I took you from your universe and brought you here. The reason; I am hosting a party for heroes who fight for good and defeat evil. Which is what you have done. So, I invited you and brought you here.' Lazuli shook her head, 'that's kidnapping, as we didn't agree to go with you.' Jerren nodded, 'yeah, and you could have brought the party to us if you wanted to celebrate something.'
Lazuli added, 'who are you anyway? What are you?' the young lady nodded and bowed, 'oh, where are my manners. My name is Kusu. I am the angel attendant to lord Rumush; the god of destruction of universe 10. he too will be coming to the party and he had asked me to go get something he had never tasted before. So I went to universe 7 to grab this.' she pulled a bottle of cola from the orb on her staff, before putting it back.
Jerren and Lazuli looked at each other, before looking back at Kusu, before introducing themselves as jerren and Lazuli, before Jerren tried to talk some sense into her, 'look, we may have just won a battle, but you taking us away will have looked like kidnapping. Which, in the eyes of our classmates, will have made you look like the villain.' Kusu looked shocked and the music screeched and stopped.
A sudden voice suddenly asked, 'why did the music stop?' Jerren and Lazuli looked and found themselves staring at a humanoid pink elephant with a slender body, a big head, blue eyes and a short trunk. And just like Kusu, they couldn't sense his energy. He wore wide orange pants, a blue sash, brown boots, golden wrist and arm bands, as well as golden ankle bands around his boots a black strap around his shoulders with red stripes on them and a golden ear ring in his left ear.
Kusu brightened up, walked to him and shortly bowed, 'ah, lord Rumush. Sorry that the music stopped.' a wave of her staff later and the music started again. She put her staff down and pulled the bottle out again, 'as you asked, a drink you have never had before. I got it from the universe where I found these two heroes who had just triumphed over evil.' the elephant took the bottle and smiled, 'ah, now this is a nice honorific gift. I hope it's taste is to my liking.' Jerren looked at Lazuli, whispering, 'do you think that her shaking that staff also shook the cola?' Lazuli shrugged and both of them looked at the elephant man Rumush as he untwisted the bottle cap.
But it seemed the bottle was completely not shook within the staff, as the cola didn't shoot out. Rumush had a sip and smiled, 'ah, now that is an interesting taste.' he licked his lips before looking at the two party guests Kusu had brought, before frowning, 'you two do realize you're in the presence of a god of destruction, right? Show the proper etiquette.' Jerren and Lazuli looked at each other, before looking at Rumush and bowing, 'our apologies lord Rumush.' the elephant nodded, 'that's better.'
he walked over the party floor, sitting down on a table and grabbing some food, enjoying the music and food, while Lazuli walked to Kusu, 'excuse me Kusu, but; can you bring us back to our universe? Our classmates, teachers and friends are probably worried about us, with you suddenly having taken us.'
Kusu nodded, 'I can. And I will. Don't worry. We'll just have to wait for the party to end and lord Rumush to go to bed. After that, I will bring you back. The only times I may leave, or do things on my own is when lord Rumush says I am dismissed, or when he's asleep. Otherwise I do as he orders me.' Jerren nodded, finally tasting the drink he had been given, rather liking the flavor, 'so; how is it we can't sense either of your energies? Lazuli and I are pretty good at that, but we don't sense anything from you, yet you come across as someone powerful. How?'
Kusu smiled, 'well, your senses can't detect divinity, like me and lord Rumush. Though I could teach you how to sense it,... as well as reach a divine level of power yourself. It would make sure your heroic efforts could grow much greater than they are now.' Lazuli nodded, 'sounds good,... what's the catch?' Kusu smiled, 'all you have to do is promise to become a god of destruction and I will teach you all I know.' Jerren blinked a few times, before looking at Rumush and back at Kusu, 'that makes it sound like you, his angel attendant, are also his teacher and,... stronger than him?' Kusu nodded, 'yes.'
Lazuli cleared her throat and gestured Jerren to walk with him. He nodded and the two of them walked a small distance away from Kusu, who was beckoned by Rumush for some more treats, which she went to deliver to him. The two talked about the option that had been given to them. They could be trained by tis angel,... but to gain divine power could take long. And they still had their mission back in their own universe; to recruit the strong to their cause. But,... if they could gain divine energy from this training,... both of them would be so much more powerful than they were now. Maybe they wouldn't need to recruit the people of earth. This was a difficult decision. They should actually contact head quarters about this option,... but Kusu had made this offer now. She should probably also get an offer before they were returned home.
The two decided quickly and as they joined Kusu and her small party again, walking away from lord Rumush who was enjoying the food and especially the cola, they told her; they were interested in the training. But, they couldn't become a god of destruction before their mission in their own universe had been completed; they had to win that war. Kusu nodded, understanding, offering to train them in the weekends. Saying she could tell lord Rumush that their coming here was because his great power inspired them; wanting to train to become as powerful as he was. So their training would be praise to him.
The two nodded, that was an acceptable outcome. And with this said and done, they enjoyed the rest of the party. They had beaten the villains, had found a way to become more powerful, which would be able to solve their war back home and could also keep most of the people on earth outside of the conflict. Still, they would still recruit those who had the most power and potential to help them.
When the party ended, lord Rumush had eaten enough, he went to bed and after Kusu had tucked him in, she brought both of them back to their universe, to in front of the school. On their way back, they had made a cover story for her, saying she was the second in command of a hero agency in the USA and her boss had ordered her to bring them, as he wanted report on their progress. And the pros believed it.
to be continued...
