Warning: Bad Language Because Of Kacchan.
AN: Want to thank everyone again for supporting and loving this story. I really didn't expect much out of this story. I only wrote this because I needed to get it out of my system. Also because of season 3 coming out. Anyways want to say that Izuku won't be getting any more Quirks. At least not until USJ Attack or unless All Might gives Izuku One For All. Speaking of which, do you want him to receive One For All or no? And if you want to see any Heroes character make an appearance, who should it be? You know like Hiro Nakamura, Peter Petrelli, Noah Bennet, Sylar or even anybody. Leave all that and your questions, suggestions and feedback in a review. Before we get into the chapter. I'm gonna show you all of Izuku's Quirks. Just in case you forget.
Evolved Intuitive Aptitude Quirk:
Izuku's main Quirk is the ability to understand the structure and operation of complex systems without special education or training. He can find any problem and solve it. Even make it better than before. Izuku can even understand how people and how their Quirks work. So much that he can copy/steal them. Maybe even use them better. How he does this is by looking into a person's eyes, leaving them in a trance like state as he looks through their memories, fears, goals and dreams. Then he finds out how to copy/steal their Quirk. Unfortunately it leaves the person a vegetable, brain dead. While a powerful and frightening Quirk. It also forces the holder to understand as much as they can, resulting in a "hunger" which can manifest a need to understand, which often makes Izuku hunt and seek out people with Quirks. If he sees a powerful Quirk during one of his "hunger" episodes. He might lose control. Izuku often considers this Quirk a curse. This Quirk's type is Mutant.
Pacify Quirk:
One of the first Quirks Izuku acquired. It's a Quirk that is very similar to a telekinesis type Quirk and Eraserhead's Quirk, Erasure. Izuku has the ability to telekinetically grab objects and people. If grabbing ahold of a person he can nullify their Quirks. This Quirk also has drawbacks like so many. He can grab multiple individuals and objects if needed, but can only handle so much. He can only use this Quirk once or twice a day, and for a few minutes. Weight also pays a factor too. If he over uses or try to extend the duration of this Quirk. He'll suffer a nose bleed, headaches and finally faint from fatigue. Further study required. Izuku likes this Quirk because it makes hunting people easier. While not wanting or enjoy hunting people for their Quirks. This Quirk is a lot of help. This Quirk's type is Emitter.
Haze Breathing And Exhaling Quirk:
A recent Quirk Izuku acquired. This Quirk gives Izuku the ability exhale a black poisonous gas. That serves as a smokescreen and if breathed in by anyone other than Izuku and without special protection. Will render anyone unconscious. Izuku is also able to breath most toxic gasses with no problems because of this too. When his Pacify Quirks fails, Izuku uses this to apprehend and pacify his prey. Unfortunately after using said Quirk will have bad breath for a few hours. Also if he's out of breath when trying to use it, nothing will come out. While not the best or powerful type of Quirk. Izuku finds it uses satisfactory. This Quirk's type is Emitter.
Enhanced Jumping Quirk:
This Quirk allows Izuku to jump extremely high and long distances. Can jump the height of an average building. And leap across building and achieve further distance with ease. Only down side that his legs and feet can only last for so long. 5-10 minutes of jumping is all Izuku can achieve, and that's on a good day. Getting this Quirk was difficult, but after some careful planning Izuku got it with no problems. Izuku finds this Quirk useful if chasing after prey or needing a quick escape. This Quirk's type is Transformation.
Pyrokinesis Quirk:
A powerful Quirk that was very difficult for Izuku to get. The fight between him and the original holder lasted for hours. Similar to Endeavor's Quirk except very limited. Izuku can only manipulate and summon few flames at a time. Needs more training to emit more powerful attacks. Can use fire to engulf his body in combat if needed, but only on his hands, arms and maybe legs. Can also shoot fire balls and a stream of fire. But only for a few minutes before becoming fatigue. Last time Izuku used this ability, he almost burned down his house. Thankfully he didn't. Though he had to make a convincing lie to his mom. Only uses this Quirk if needed. This Quirk's type is a hybrid of Emitter and Transformation.
Stone Mimicry Quirk:
Yet another powerful Quirk Izuku acquired. And the most difficult. Took him three days to hunt the original owner down. With this Quirk, Izuku is able to turn his whole body into stone. While stronger and tougher than before. He can only handle so much before risking something to crack or break off. It also makes Izuku slower and weigh more too. An excellent defense and combat Quirk, Izuku finds himself using this Quirk if things get too hairy. This Quirk's type is Transformation,
Sound Emission Quirk:
This Quirk allows Izuku emit a shockwave of sound from his hands. Very similar to Present Mic's Quirk. Except Izuku can only use his hands. The shockwaves he makes are able to push objects and even people. The high pitch wave of sound is able to annoy and even cause some people to get bloody noses or their ears to bleed. It can even render some people unconscious. Izuku has speculated that at the right pitch he could even beak things apart. Though that's just a theory. Drawbacks, can only use for 5 minutes or less. Also doesn't travel well through underground, just like Present Mic's. This Quirk's type is Emitter.
Pied Piper Quirk:
This Quirk allows Izuku to control rodents. Original user was a local knowledge broker who used rats, mice and other vermin to set up a spy-network across the city, Izuku took his Quirk and left him brain dead when he realized that the man in question had found out about his identity and intended to blackmail him into taking out one of his rivals. Unfortunately the range of his control matters how many rodents he's controlling. He can control an army if needed. But can only give them one or two commands before dispersing. This Quirk is good for info gathering and sabotage, even for confusing and scaring enemies if controlling an army. Izuku never liked rodents but found them useful and somewhat cute after receiving this Quirk. This Quirk is Emitter.
Sawdust Quirk:
A relatively small-scaled Quirk allowing for the creation of sawdust. Izuku uses this mainly for the old "throw sand in the opponents eyes" manner. Or uses it's porous nature to sponge up dangerous substances. Which are usually poisons, drugs, oil, nitroglycerine to prevent accidents. Original owner was a pyromaniac, he'd set a match in a room and throw a lot of sawdust in the air. The sawdust would violently burst into flames serving as a quick way to light buildings on fire, using it as an explosive is also possible when combined with Izuku's Pyrokinesis Quirk. Takes time to gather sawdust out of nothing, helps a lot if wood or other materials are nearby. Drawbacks, can only use so much before becoming tried. Izuku noticed that using Pyrokinesis with the sawdust, can cause an explosion. Which reminds him of Kacchan's Quirk. This Quirk is Emitter.
Lighting Rod Quirk:
Unlike the name suggests, this Quirk does more than draw lightning. This particular Quirk is rather powerful. When Izuku recently got his Pyrokinesis Quirk. He encountered this Quirk after a normal hunt. Unfortunately he had trouble because apparently the original holder could take his attacks and redirect them somewhere else while appearing completely fine. Eventually he did defeat him and took his Quirk. This Quirk allows Izuku to take serious attacks and redirect them somewhere else, notably the ground. Only works on element attacks and maybe some physical ones. Can only use this Quirk for a minute or two at a time. And can only handle so much before getting overwhelmed. Izuku uses this if he finds himself in a pickle, he can take most attacks and be fine. This Quirk is Transformation.
Iron Make Quirk:
This quirk allows its user to transform their limbs into iron weapons, objects or just turn their limbs into metal. They are limited by mass and blood because it uses the iron in the blood to make said weapons and objects. If broken, it would be like loosing a good amount of blood but not a limb. The person can also grow spikes from any part of his body. Izuku gained this Quirk during his escape. More study needed. This Quirk is Transformation.
Multiple Visual Perception Quirk:
This Quirk was obtained during Izuku's escape. This Quirk allows you to have access to night vision, thermal vision, X Ray vision through objects (only close objects) and something called battle vision. Which allows the user to see the movements of opponents and sometimes objects at lower speeds to improve the user's response time. It's uses can cause an increase in the sensitivity of the eye. Excessive use of this skill causes fatigue and temporary blindness. More study needed. This Quirk is Transformation.
Molten Hands Quirk:
With this Quirk Izuku is able to make his hands look and feel like magma. This is the same Quirk that injured him badly. Much like his Pyrokinesis Quirk, yet very different. This Quirk is far hotter and stronger. So much that Izuku can melt a cell wall in a few minutes. A few seconds of touching can burn and injure you far more than any fire based Quirk. Drawbacks, will grow tired in a matter of minutes. Hurting and killing anyone will be far to easy if using this Quirk. So, Izuku vowed to only use in extreme and desperate moments. Izuku gained this Quirk during his escape. More study needed. This Quirk is Transformation.
13 Quirks! Almost as much All For One has. Alright, with that out of the way! ON WITH THE CHAPTER! Enjoy and please leave a review! Aldo forgive me for any errors or typos!
"Home."
Izuku looked up to see his apartment complex a block away. He could use Enhanced Jumping to get there quicker. But he was too injured and didn't want to draw attention. With a sigh, Izuku began to walk home. He knew it was a bad idea since that would be the first place the police and heroes would check. But he needed to see his mom now that his mind was clear. To explain and apologize. For everything.
As Izuku continued make his way home. Something shocking happened.
"DEKU!"
Izuku froze in place. He dared not move or even breath for the longest time. With a deep sigh and sad frown he turned around to where the voice came from. There a couple of feet from him, stood his former best friend and now main bully standing there. His face and eyes filled with rage.
"Kacchan…"
Both former friends stood there, staring at each other. Katsuki glaring at the wounded Izuku with all his anger. While our young vigilante/hero stood there with a somber expression.
Izuku never thought this would happen. Not in a million years. Maybe in his nightmares but not now.
"What are you doing here Kacchan?" Izuku asked softy in a serious tone.
This caused Katsuki to growl and clench his fists in anger. He wanted nothing more to walk over there and beat Deku until he was an inch from death. But he needed answers.
"What the fuck?! How did a shitty nerd like you get a Quirk?! How did you get a shit ton of Quirks?!" Katsuki yelled out trying to contain his anger but failing. "And why the hell are you a fucking vigilante!? This is all bullshit! Whatever tricks you have to convince those dumbasses, won't work on me Deku!"
Izuku just stood there, still holding onto his injury. The burn he got from that fight. He could feel himself getting weaker. Eventually Izuku sighed as he looked up at Katsuki.
"I don't have to explain anything to you." Izuku stated coolly as he turned around to walk away. Shocking Katsuki. "Go home Kacchan, before you get hurt."
As Izuku walked away, heading towards home. Katsuki stood stunned, then that quickly turn into a seething rage. How could such worthless nerd like Deku dare say that to him?! What gave him the right?! His Quirkless ass needed to be taught a lesson! From making his mom worry about him and tricking those shitheads for believing he actually had a Quirk!
The ash blonde hot head's hand began to smoke and burn a little.
"Don't you dare turn your back on me DEKU!" Katsuki yelled out as he had enough. And charged at Izuku with his right arm and hand raised! "EAT SHIT AND DIE!"
As the explosive Quirk user got closer and closer, Izuku sighed. He wasn't in the mood for this!
Izuku turned around and raised his free arm and hand. He readied himself as Katsuki got closer. And when he was a mere foot away, Izuku let him have it! He used his Sound Emission Quirk!
"Soundwave Blitz!" Izuku yelled out as he shot a shockwave of sound at Kacchan!
Who didn't have time to dodge because he was stunned! Izuku did have a Quirk! So, Katsuki was hit by the Shockwave of sound! It was so big and powerful that windows began to break from the buildings behind Katsuki! He was powerless as he had to shut his ears and fall down to one knee.
"ARGHHH!" Katsuki yelled out as Izuku kept on firing his Sound Emission!
Izuku suddenly began to walk towards Katsuki, who remained helpless. Which pissed him off to no end. As Izuku walked towards Katsuki, the shockwave of sound only got stronger. When he did arrive, Izuku stopped using Sound Emission and quickly activated another Quirk before Katsuki could recover and attack.
Izuku's free arm quickly turned into metal! And before Katsuki knew it, he was backhanded by Izuku into a buildings outer wall! Katsuki yelled out in pain as he fell to hard ground. While nothing broke it still hurt like hell. Izuku gave a regretful and sympathetic look at Katsuki who began to get up. His pained expression filled with rage.
"Go home Kacchan… I don't want to hurt you." Izuku said dropping his sympathetic look. "People most definitely heard that. I don't have time to mess around with you. I need to see my mom before the police or Pro Heroes come."
This made Katsuki growl more. He clenched his teeth as he shook off the pain.
"So… you do have a Quirk! More than one huh?!" Katsuki roughly said with a deep scowl. "Don't you dare look down upon me because of that you shithead! I don't care how many Quirks you have! Or even if you are the fucking Stalker! You could be the boogeyman for all I care! I'll still kill your worthless ass!"
Izuku was beginning to grow impatient. He didn't need to hear this. It was always the same with Kacchan. All the yelling and cursing. He was tired of it.
"I'm telling you one last time… go home Bakugo." Izuku stated dropping his former friend's childhood name. Making him flinch a little. "I maybe hurt… but I'm not the same Deku. Go home!"
Katsuki's scowl remained as sparks began to ignite from his hands. He couldn't believe it, Deku of all people! Was threatening him! This was a joke! That attack and backhand he got was a fucking joke! Deku was nothing but a fucking joke!
"So! This what you've been doing?! Hunting lowlife assholes and fighting heroes! Making your mom worry for your worthless ass!" Katsuki yelled out letting all his rage out! He then pointed a finger at Izuku! "All that talk of you wanting to be a hero! That was all bullshit! And you being Quirkless, that's a bullshit lie you've been telling me! You've been making look like a fucking fool! DEKU!"
The tension in the air was thick, it almost felt heavy to breath. Katsuki just stood there glaring at Izuku. Waiting for an answer or something. Izuku stood there his heard lowered hiding his expression. He then look up at Katsuki smiling? Suddenly after that he started to laugh. Angering and confusing Katsuki.
"Hahahaahaahaaha!" Izuku laughed out like a maniac. He kept that up for a good minute before calming down and sighing. He then looked to Katsuki with a dark look. "You… really are a fool if you think that's true."
Katsuki backed up a bit, stunned to see this kind of side to Deku. But more angry that he insulted him.
"Look at you, just because you have a flashy and powerful Quirk. You automatically think you're god! Guess what… you're not!" Izuku yelled out in a very uncharacteristic tone. "There are more powerful people out there than the two of us! Who could move mountains, raise storms, destroy cities and kill hundreds in a blink of an eye! And all you can do is cause a tantrum and blow stuff up with your sweat! Your sweat!"
Katsuki clenched his teeth and fists as he let all of Izuku's words process in his head. It pissed him off beyond all belief to be talk down to. And by Deku of all people!
"You know what… between the two of us. I think I'm stronger than you."
That immediately made Katsuki eyes widened in shock, before seething back in a rage. More rage than he's ever felt before. What the hell did Deku just say?
"My main Quirk always me to understand how anything work, especially people and their Quirks. And for the last few months. I've figured what makes you tick Kacchan. I know all your strengths and of course weaknesses. And don't forget… I have more than one Quirk under my command."
Izuku summoned a green flame that engulfed his free hand.
"I have a total of 13 Quirks that I've… "required". 3 of which could easily kill you. If I wanted to. You're strong Kacchan, but you are not stronger than me. While you've been doing a bit of training. You haven't reach your full limit. I on the other hand has been fighting and hunting thugs for months. I have experience and power on my side. And to be perfectly honest… I haven't even reached my full limit."
While most would think Izuku was being arrogant, he wasn't. Months of fighting and hunting had helped him get stronger both physically and mentally. Hell, he could handle 3 Pro Heroes at once. But to be fair. He was at a 100% when that happened. Now? He could barely stand.
Overusing his Pacify Quirk and fighting those prisoners wasn't easy. He had the wounds to prove it. He doubt he could take on Kacchan and win. But he wouldn't know if he didn't try.
Katsuki on the other hand was completely livid.
"Oh yeah?" Katsuki asked awfully calm while still glaring at Izuku. "How about we test that theory of yours… Izuku!"
Izuku shook his head, either in disappointment or anger. He then looked up to Katsuki with a dead serious expression.
"I don't think you want to find that out. Even though I'm injured and a bit tired. I can still take you down." Izuku explained still getting glared by Katsuki. Who was about to lose it. "Go home, or else."
"ENOUGH!" Katsuki screamed out as little explosions and flames shot out from his hands! "You think you're hot shit just because you got a few shitty Quirks?! Just because you took down some no named assholes and some Pro Heroes?! Well you're not! You're just a pebble in my path! A worthless fucking pebble! You hear me?!"
Izuku sighed as he slowly began to smile in a cocky way.
"Throwing a tantrum as always. You don't deserve that Quirk. It's like giving a spoiled child a flamethrower. Go home… I ain't repeating myself again." Izuku warned as he moved his other hand from his burn injury. "I don't want to hurt you anymore than I have to."
Instead of yelling or threatening Izuku. Katsuki just smiled in a very dark way. He then got into a fighting stance.
"You call that hurting me, you hit like a whiny bitch."
"Guess you know all about that eh Kacchan."
"Ha! Looks like you do have a pair after all!"
Izuku then got into his fighting stance.
This was it. A fated battle between former friends. A long time ago, they were the best of friends. But now, it looks like they were bitter enemies.
"You know this is going to end one way right?"
"Yeah! With you on the fucking ground!"
That made Izuku smile and chuckle a little.
"Promises, promises."
And with that Izuku lifted up both hands and fired his Sound Emission! But just before he fired, Katsuki anticipated this. With a mighty yell the explosion user jumped and fired a powerful explosion from his right hand! Helping him dodge Izuku's attack, then with a animalistic grin he rushed at Izuku!
"DIE!" Katsuki yelled out as he got closer and closer to Izuku!
Who barely had enough time to stop his Quirk to activate another one. Izuku quickly activated his Iron Make Quirk, to make a crude but huge metal shield formed from his arm!
When Katsuki made it, he attacked Izuku with a strong explosion! The explosion was so powerful that it sent Izuku flying in the air! Thankfully before he hit the ground. He deactivated Iron Make and activated his Pyrokinesis to summon a huge burst of green flames from his hands! Which launched him in air! And sent him flying towards Katsuki, who looked very annoyed.
"Take this!" Izuku yelled out as he stopped using Pyrokinesis and activated his Haze Quirk!
Blowing out black haze from his mouth as he was flying straight at Kacchan.
Katsuki didn't know what that black mist was, but he knew he shouldn't breath it. With a deep breath he raised his hands and used his Quirk again! He fired two explosions that sent some of the haze away and sent Izuku flying again with a painful grunt.
Thankfully before he hit the ground this time around, Izuku used his Stone Mimicry to soften his landing. Which it did. With a loud crash Izuku landed. Making Katsuki smile. But that smile went away when he saw Izuku in his stone form.
"Gonna take a lot more than fireworks to take me out Kacchan!" Izuku yelled out with a grunt. He was of course bluffing because using his Stone Mimicry right now was very taxing. Especially with his wounds. "Thought you said you were gonna put me on the ground?!"
Katsuki growled in response as he was getting more and more pissed off.
Not wanting to give Katsuki time to attack again. Izuku rushed with all his might at Katsuki. Who looked ready. While not the fastest in this form. Izuku was sure tougher and stronger. He just hoped this form could handle a head on explosion to the face!
Just as Izuku was a few feet away, Katsuki raised his right hand. Getting ready for a right hook. Something Izuku saw coming.
"Predictable!" Izuku yelled out as he quickly grabbed Katsuki's right arm. And with a yell he performed a powerful judo throw! Sending Katsuki over him and throwing him hard on the ground! "Right hook as always!"
All Katsuki could do was yell out in pain as he hit the asphalt of the deserted street. Izuku wasn't done there however. The stone skin vigilante grabbed Katsuki by the hair and threw him across the street! Making him hit the ground hard again.
"Go home Kacchan!" Izuku yelled out punching his fists together. "I could have punched a hole right through you when you were down!"
Katsuki slowly began to get up. His expression was that of anger and pain. But he was focusing more on anger now. Not wanting to give up or listen to Deku. The hothead of a blonde charged at Izuku again with his arm raised. Making Izuku sigh again.
Izuku got on the defensive expecting Katsuki to go straight at him. But he did something completely unexpected. He smiled and used his Quirk, directly under him!? Launching himself in air! And before Izuku knew it Katsuki was in air over him!
"Die!" Katsuki yelled out as he fired off two explosions while on the air that sent Izuku to the ground!
The heat and flames he could handle, it was the force that he was having trouble with! Katsuki landed safely and afterwards, rushed at Izuku again. This time using an explosion that sending him skidding across the asphalt.
Katsuki was smiling as he looked at Izuku, still in his stone form. Trying to get up.
"Where's all that shit talking now Deku?!" Katsuki asked very prideful and aggressively. "Look at you! Even with all your shitty Quirks, you're still getting your ass kicked!"
While Izuku didn't want to admit it. Kacchan was right. He looked all over his body to see cracks. Which meant anymore punishment he got would be risking something to break off. Normally this wouldn't be the case but he's injured and have been overusing his Quirks. He was fighting on borrow time. But Kacchan didn't know that.
Izuku finally got up and stood there deep in thought. Our young hero was running out of options. He could end this fight here and now, but all of his counterattacks involved deadly force. While he admit Kacchan was an ass. He still saw him as a friend. Or at least did.
Eventually Izuku realized something. He did have another Quirk that could counter Kacchan's. Though it was very risky. Since he's really never had to use this Quirk before. However it looked like he had no choice.
Izuku sighed as he deactivated his Stone Mimicry Quirk. He looked at Kacchan, who glared right back at him. The green haired vigilante looked down at his wounds. Specifically his burn mark.
'Looks like this is it.' Izuku thought bitterly with a frown. He then smiled as he began to take off his burned and ripped up coat. Then his ruined shirt. Confusing Katsuki. 'Darn… I really like that coat too.'
Katsuki eyes widen in shock by what he saw. All over Izuku's body were cuts, bruises and a massive burn mark on his side. That wasn't all. Katsuki saw old scars and other past injuries all over his body. And that was only on the front. Izuku noticed Katsuki's look and decided to explain.
"Not pretty eh Kacchan. A few of these I got from you and your friends, though those I could handle. The rest are from the lowlifes and others I've fought and hunted over the months. Most are from their Quirks, a few though are from other things. Knives, bats, shivs, pipes and even a gun once. This burn mark and cuts I got all are from the Police station I escaped from. While your explosions hurt, they tickle compared to what I've been through."
Katsuki's shock quickly turned to anger. Even when he had him on the ropes, Deku was still acting like tough shit.
"I'm tired of this! I'm going to fucking kill you!" Katsuki screamed out in anger! "You hear me Deku! I don't give a shit about your sob story! I'm going to end this! And prove you're nothing but a worthless piece of shit!"
Most would be unnerved or even mad about Katsuki raving around. But Izuku smiled and laughed. Only making Katsuki angrier.
"Come on then… Kacchan. I might actually feel something this time."
And that was it! Katsuki yelled out in anger and charged at Izuku one last time! Not bothering to come up with a strategy. Katsuki only wanted one thing. Izuku on the ground!
Just as Katsuki was about to unleash his most powerful explosion he muster. Izuku smirked as he quickly got down and placed his hands on the ground! Then just as Katsuki attacked, Izuku activated his Quirk!
"DIE!"
BOOM!
The resulting explosion caused the street and any if not all nearby buildings to shake! The windows nearly that weren't already broken, broke from the shockwave of the explosion! The flames and smoke could be seen from a mile or two. Heroes and police in the area looked up in shock. Then all quickly mobilized and headed to the scene as fast as they could.
For one woman, in a small apartment. Who's been crying and trying to contact the police. She was shocked and scared to see such a large explosion so close to her home. As she looked out she knew those explosions from anywhere. And deep down she felt something. Or better yet someone.
"Izuku…"
Meanwhile back at the battle. Katsuki was panting, that attack was the most powerful and taxing one he's ever made. So powerful that his muscles and fingers were tensing up bad. Soon he smirked. There was no way Deku could have survived that attack. Unfortunately as the dust and smoke began to settle. Katsuki was stunned by what he saw.
Izuku was alive and was completely untouched by the attack?! His hands and whole body looked red hot! Katsuki also swore he heard sizzling of some kind too! Almost like a stove. The ground below him looked to be completely decimated. All the asphalt was gone, only the dirt that laid before was all that was left. Izuku was breathing heavily and had a strained expression. He then smiled as he got up slowly. As his hands left the ground, his body began to slowly cool down.
"You know… that might have actually killed me." Izuku calmly stated in a fake shocked tone. His body look to be cooling off, the sizzling red was all gone. He looked at Katsuki who still couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Lucky I'm not a one trick pony eh Kacchan. Also… it's my turn."
Before Katsuki could react, Izuku right hand turn into metal. Then with all the strength his weaken body could muster. Izuku performed a mighty uppercut! Sending Katsuki flying and seemingly knocking him out!
Katsuki hit the ground hard, and this time he wasn't getting up. The surprise attack mixed with Izuku giving it his all in that punched seemed to have helped a lot. Izuku couldn't believe it. He beat his former best friend and main bully!
While anyone would be celebrating. Izuku wasn't. Because how he won wasn't noble at all. He used trickery and multiple Quirks that weren't really his to beat Kacchan. That surprising punch didn't help either, especially since he used his Iron Make Quirk with it.
Izuku looked ready to fall over. But someway and somehow he was still standing. His expression was that of regret as he looked over at Kacchan's unconscious body. He then sighed. While they weren't friends anymore. It still hurt him on the inside to fight his former best friend.
"Forgive me Kacchan… but I doubt you ever will. I didn't mean for this to happen. But you left me no choice." Izuku began to slowly walk towards his home. Eventually passing Katsuki's knocked out body. When passing he gave him a sympathetic glance before resuming his walk. "If this is the last time we meet. I'm glad we… talked. At least for a little while. Goodbye… Kacchan."
As Izuku kept on walking he suddenly stopped. The reason? He wasn't alone.
Before Izuku could activate any of his Quirks, a dozen fiber like threads quickly wrapped themselves around him! Very tightly and immobilizing him. Izuku didn't bother to struggle because he knew it would be pointless. He knew who was doing this.
"Never thought you be in this city of all places. Are you passing through or did they bring out all the big guns for me?" Izuku asked very calmly before turning his head around to see the who captured him. "Tsunagu Hakamata aka Blue Jeanist, No. 4 Pro Hero in Japan. Quirk, Fiber Master. Never thought I'd see you around here."
"What can I say, when I heard The Infamous Stalker had escape as I was passing through. I couldn't help but see what all the fuss was about." Blue Jeanist coolly said in a well spoken yet serious tone. His shirts sleeves seemed to be all cut up but were in fact turned into threads that were restraining Izuku. "To be frank, I'm underwhelmed. I was expecting… someone older."
This caused Izuku to sigh with a depressed face.
"I get that a lot." Izuku stated with a deflated tone. That's when he noticed they weren't alone. "Wow… can't believe they sent this many people after me."
Izuku looked around to see many Pro Heroes converging on him and Blue Jeanist. He saw the likes of Death Arms, Native, Backdraft, Midnight and a bandaged up and tired Eraserhead. All of them major heroes. Even if he was a 100%, Izuku knew he couldn't beat them all. Let alone escape from them.
"You know… if this wasn't such a serious situation. I'd probably be geeking out and asking for all your autographs." Izuku somewhat jokingly said giving a weak smile. That smile turned in to a frown. "Unfortunately looks like that isn't going to happen!"
Before anyone knew it, Izuku activated his Iron Make Quirk and summoned a multitude of metal sharp spikes from all over his upper body! Which cut and weakened the threads restraining him! With a yell he broke out for his restraints. He then got into a fighting stance but not before turning both of his arms into metal.
All the heroes save for Blue Jeanist and Aziawa got on the defensive. Ready for Izuku to attack. But stopped when they saw the condition he was in. He had cuts, bruises, minor burn marks and a real major one. Some couldn't help but cringe or feel sympathetic when they saw all his past injures. This kid looked like a battle worn veteran.
"I'm not going anywhere until… I see my mom!" Izuku yelled out, ready to fight his way out of here. Even though that was impossible. He still wasn't ready to go down, even though his body was failing on him. "I'll… take you all… on!"
Blue Jeanist and Aziawa knew they didn't need to fight or restrain Izuku. His body was already failing on him. It was only a matter of time before he would topple over. And the other heroes were beginning to realize that too.
"Come on kid, give up and come with us." Death Arms said calmly to Izuku. "You're seriously hurt. Let us help you."
"FUCK OFF!" Izuku yelled out aggressively as he stopped using his Iron Make Quirk and immediately activated his Molten Hands Quirk! That got everyone on the defensive again. "I'm… not… going anywhere!"
Suddenly a loud whoosh was heard from behind of Izuku.
WHOOSH!
"I think you're done young Midoriya."
Izuku quickly turned around and came face to face with the towering All Might. Who was looking down at Izuku very sympathetically.
"Please my boy… stop fighting. And rest." All Might told Izuku in a calm yet serious tone. He then placed a hand on Izuku's shoulder. Making him flinch and putting all the other heroes on edge, in case Izuku was going to attack All Might. But he didn't. "I promise you'll see your mother. After you get medical attention. You have my word."
Izuku didn't know why but he couldn't help but believe him. He didn't want to but something deep down was telling him otherwise. Before Izuku knew it, his Quirk deactivated and felt very tired. Last thing before his body failed on him was All Might's reassuring face. Izuku lost consciousness and fell into the arms of All Might who couldn't help but feel sorry for the young vigilante.
'Rest now young Midoriya.' All Might thought as he picked up Izuku bridal style. He then looked to Aziawa. "I'm taking him to Recovery Girl. Tell Tsukauchi I'll meet him there. Take care of the other child please."
Aziawa didn't make a fuss and nodded. With that All Might leaped high in the air, and began to head to U.A. High School. Leaving the rest of the heroes in the lone street. Backdraft and Midnight went to check on Katsuki. Who was still knocked out.
Meanwhile Aziawa looked where All Might took off with Izuku. And couldn't help but sigh.
"I need a break."
To Be Continued
AN: Damn… that was a rather serious chapter. Sorry again if Izuku seemed OP in this. But remember he's not the same Izuku. If the battle didn't end the way you wanted, remember Izuku had the element of surprise on his side. Along with a bunch of Quirks. Also don't forget Katsuki really hasn't gotten into some serious training yet. So he's not as tough right now. Later though? That's a completely other story. Looks like Izuku bested his bully and former best friend. But he's been caught by All Might again. Will All Might keep his promise? What will happen to Izuku? How's Katsuki going to react when he wakes that he got beat. What will Inko Midoriya do? Find all that out when the next chapter comes out. Whenever. Before I sign off, just wanted to remind you all to tell me what Heroes character should make an appearance in a review. Along with your suggestions, ideas, questions and general feedback. Sorry for any typos. But if I had a beta reader this wouldn't usually happens. But it's OK. Anyways, I'll catch you all later! Bye and please leave a review!
