"Those things are nomu?! How did they get here?" Ochako asked frantically

"My best guess is that the villain I was fighting sent them back after me, you guys need to get out of here, NOW." Deku responded.

"Can you really fight them?" His younger self asked, looking rather off put by the sight of the massive creatures that were making their way towards him.

"Of course I can." He gave the couple a confident smile. Then he rested his hand on his shoulder. "Ochako would kill me if I got hurt."

"Deku?" She asked

"What is it?" The hero responded impatiently, not quite understanding why she hadn't fled yet. He thought that he'd been pretty clear of his desire for all of his friends to get the hell out of dodge.

"Don't die." She told him, reaching out and taking his younger self's arm tightly.

In response he just smiled at her. "I won't. I promised you a long time ago."

Deku frantically ushered the stragglers of class 2-A out of the training grounds, instructing them to tell the resident professional heroes to come and assist him. Not that he'd really need it. In his long battle against the League of Villains, he's fought the nomu on countless occasions, each creature having unique powers and characteristics that made them deadly. These nomu, however, seemed to be exact replicas of the one that All Might fought at the USJ incident. They were bulkier than All Might was, each having strange scarrs littering their bodies in haphazard patterns. Their faces sported a strange beak-like protrusion and as usual their brains were showing. The most unnerving thing about the nomu however, were their eyes. Their eyes were red and feral, sometimes moving independently of each other as they sized him up. All for One must've sent them back to finish him off, hoping that he'd been direly injured after being blasted back through time. This was not the case, but that didn't mean this wasn't going to suck.

"Aizawa!" the younger Midoriya hollored, the rest of 2-A behind him.

"What is it? Do you know why are the alarms going off? Where is your older self?" The teacher demanded.

"Nomu have appeared in the training grounds, he's doing battle with them as we speak. He told us to find you." Uraraka said.

"Nomu?! How the hell did they get here?" Aizawa growled. "Go to the auditorium, I'll alert the teachers where the intruders are."

"Damn." Deku thought. Taking on just one of these Nomus would have been no problem, even if they were exactly like the one All Might had fought, but two of them was something else entirely. He was fairly certain that he would be able to pull it off, but he wouldn't have the luxury of holding back. "So that coward sent his lap dogs to finish me off instead of coming himself? I'm insulted." He sneered.

Meanwhile, Class 2-A had made it safely into the Auditorium, where the entire school had gathered in shelter. Professional heroes guarded the exits, and on the large screen was a view of the training grounds where the intruders were. Class 2-A watched in horror as the two menacing creatures sauntered up to the older version of their friend, who was just now beginning to exert himself.

The Nomus watched mindlessly as large bolts of green lightning flowed from their target's body. His muscles surged and coiled beneath his skin, trying in vain to contain the power he was wielding. The thunder surrounding him roared and peaked, and his hair stood on end. In the calm before the storm, the hero stood and gazed at his assailants confidently. Suddenly, the Nomu shrieked in unison and assaulted their opponent.

Class 2-A watched in suspense as their friend stood toe to toe with those monsters, exchanging blows that were too fast for their eyes to follow. After striking each of them several times, he came to the conclusion that these two nomus were in fact equipped with shock absorption. "Damnit." He thought, this was going to be rough.

Deku decided it was time to go on the offensive, he wanted to end this quickly. He suddenly swept one of the nomu's legs out from under them, grasping out and taking the other roughly by the arm and slamming it into its comrade with as much force as he could possibly muster, effectively shattering the ground. Without pausing, he took the nomu he was still holding and whirled it around in the air, tossing it into the rock formation closest to him with all of his might. He roared and rushed after it, unleashing an incredible flurry of powerful blows, aiming to pulverise the creature into unconsciousness. His target barely had enough time to cross its arms defensively before Deku was upon it, pummeling it with unbelievable ferocity. Shockwaves reverberated throughout the large room as he beat the creature into the ground, each blow increasing the size of the already sizeable crater that was forming around them. Thick sparks of lightning continued to flow off of his eyes and body as he pushed himself beyond his upper limits. He continued to pummel his opponent well beyond the point where he would've stopped had he been battling a human. Nomu were incredibly tough beings, he had made the mistake in the past of leaving his opponent before it was truly defeated. It was an error that proved to be both costly and painful. Before long, a massive crater had formed as a result of his actions, leaving the nomu lying motionless in its center.

Deku had finished off one of the creatures without a second to spare. The other nomu dashed towards him, slamming him across the face with a powerful punch. This sent the hero skidding backwards, barely maintaining his balance as he corrected himself from the unexpected strike. "So you can throw a punch, can you?" He roared furiously as he wiped blood from his mouth. "Well so can I!"

Class 2-A was quickly learning that their friend Midoriya was full of surprises. They had all encountered the world of pro heroism several times, some had even grown accustomed to its hardships, but this was different. Had the entire class worked together perfectly, utilizing an impeccably executed plan, they might have been able to defeat one of the creatures the older version of their friend was battling. He, on the other hand, was fighting against two of them, and he was winning effortlessly.

He wasn't quite winning effortlessly. That punch actually hurt quite a bit, this nomu was stronger than the other one was. The green haired hero once again called a strength from beyond his limits as he rushed to battle his opponent. He wasn't able to completely blitz this one like he had the other, perhaps these creatures still had enough brain power remaining within them to learn from others. "Monkey see, monkey don't."

The creature moved to deliver a powerful right hook towards Deku's midsection, but missed as he dodged to the side. The hero spun around and unleashed a ferocious backwards roundhouse kick, similar in form to the one he had struck his student with, but this time using every last drop of his power. The unfortunate creature shrieked as it was sent flying backwards, the hero chasing after it just as quickly. Deku overtook the creature in its momentum and lined himself up to strike it once again with a kick, this time sending it flying high into the air. The hero leapt after his opponent, rising above it as it reached the vertex of its ascent. With both hands held together in a single fist, he roared and struck the creature down, sending it plunging back to the ground. He beat the air above him to create wind pressure in order to send himself after his assailant, crashing into it with incredible force, stomping the creature with both of his feet.

Back in the school auditorium, the entire class was witnessing the battle in a shocked silence. The older version of their timid and well mannered friend was wielding an incredible amount of power. Each of them looked at the boy, as if they were expecting answers from him, only to find that he was just as gobsmacked as the rest of them were. They turned their attention back to the screen in time to witness the heroic reinforcements pouring into the training area, only to find that the battle had already been decided. Both of the nomus sat motionless in their respective craters, as if awaiting orders to move once again. None came however, as they were each detained and sedated, chained up to be sent far away to a maximum security prison.

Once the creatures had been dealt with, the hero cementoss carefully observed the damage that had been done to his training grounds. It wasn't really an issue, his quirk could correct all of the blemishes made on the area in almost no time at all, but he figured that the other teachers would want to observe the aftermath of the battle. He was proven right by the voice of his colleague Snipe as he approached the area from behind him. "Holy shit." he muttered under his breath.

"Seeing it on the big screen is one thing." Cementoss replied. "But witnessing the aftermath yourself . . . just what is he?"

"A hero always finds a way for justice to be served." Deku said, his voice surprising them as he approached. "That's what All Might said back at USJ, words that us heroes should take to heart. Even if I wasn't here, I'm confident that those villains would have been defeated. Oh, sorry about the mess by the way." He smirked. As he said this, he finally allowed himself to loosen his guard and power down. Using one hundred percent of One for All wasn't exactly painful, but it wasn't something he'd had to use all that often, even after being a hero for so many years. He was usually able to get the job done with about fifty percent of his power at most, though there had been several cases before where he was forced to go all out, his previous battle with All for One being an example of this.

"You should visit recovery girl," The cold voice of Aizawa cut in, his voice ripping the hero from his thoughts.

"Nonsense, I'm fine. I've seen the inside of a hospital room far too many times in my life. I was only struck once, I'll live." Deku said.

"Suit yourself then." Aizawa drawled. "Go collect the class and tell them they're dismissed for the day. We're going to search the campus thoroughly to make sure there weren't any other intruders. Go get some rest."

"As you wish." Deku responded. On his way back, he did his best to clean the rest of the blood off of his mouth before he reached the auditorium, figuring he'd get the rest later after cleaning up what he could. As he entered, all eyes were upon him. He had quite a bit of explaining to do.
