A/N : Chapter Ten finally, sorry about the wait on this guys, this story took longer then intended. Thanks for the reviews and I'm glad everyone liked Shin and this story will be a harem (with five girls) as a lot of me readers are partial to that idea.

Chapter 6: Rock'em Sock'em
When your on a role, you sometimes lose sight of various things. Dr Science for example had created many an invention that he never even realised he created until after one such role. Though Jusen's opinion on the matter was it was more to do with the strange mental process that made up Dr Science's thoughts then it did anything else. Needless to say, when your on a role, your on a role. After getting a decent amount of data on Jiro's Quirk from the girl herself, Izuku had been pushed along, down a steep incline. Even after Jiro had left, and more ribbing from Kagaku about walking girls home, Izuku had stayed up for a good portion of the night, late enough that he had opted to stay at the lab for the night. This of course was a bad idea as it meant he had an 'excuse' to work more. Let it be said that going to bed at three in the morning, and needing to wake up at least at six thirty, and having to attend school the next day is not recommended.
Such was this morning as Izuku stumbled through the doors to class 1-A
"Dude, you look wasted" Kirishima commented as Izuku flopped down into his seat.
"You get any sleep last night, cause you look like death warmed over" Sero commented.
Ashido, who was leaning on Sero's desk, rose an eyebrow before smirking.
"Burning the midnight oil with Mei?"
This got her desired reactions from her suggestive tone as Kirishima and Sero started snickering while Izuku blushed fiercely.
"I knew you two shouldn't have met, besides, she left before you remember" Izuku muttered, banging his head on the desk.
Like he had thought yesterday, once Mei and Ashido met, they'd be fast friends, the problem was that Mei's already hyper insanity was intensified by Ashido's boundless energy, and like yesterday proved that meant more trouble for him then normal.
"What's wrong with Midori?" Ochako asked as she and Tenya walked over, having noticed Izuku's slumped posture.
"Midoriya was just about to regale us with the scandalous adventure he had with Hatsume last night that left him in this condition" somehow, Kirishima got this all out without laughing.
Before Tenya could begin a rant of the ethical conduct of students in U.A Izuku interceded. "I was up working on a new idea."
"Oh oh is it another suit?" Ashido became excited.
Before Izuku could could answer, a growling voice stopped the group.
"Would you lot shut the fuck up, it's grating enough hearing Deku's voice" Bakugo growled out from in front of Izuku.
"Geez, someone's grumpy in the morning" Ashido said in a babying manner, causing a caustic glare to be sent her way.
"Chill out Bakugo, we all know you just wanna be part of the conversation" Kirishima grinned widely.
"The fuck would I want to talk to you side character bastards?"
"Because you seem to want to interject in conversations that have nothing to do with you?" Sero half asked.
While Kirishima, Sero and Bakugo bantered backwards and forwards, it was Ochako that asked a question no one was expecting.
"By the way Midori, Bakugo calls you Deku on account of it being your childhood nickname. I was wondering if you called him something?"
This caused everyone to pause.
"Don't you dare Deku, tell them and I'll fucking end you."
Izuku thought about it for a moment before grinning. Whatever happens would probably be worth the thrashing he would bring upon himself when they throw down again.
"I used to call him Kacchan."
Silence met the answer, only Bakugo's gnashing teeth could be heard.
"That's so adorable" Ochako was the first to react with a squeal.
"Oh yeah, he's definitely Kacchan from now on" Ashido declared loudly, catching the attention of those seated nearby.
"Kacchan?, sorry but I can't see it" Jiro muttered from her seat.
"I think it suits him, kinda like saying 'I've got a cute name, but I'll still blow you up'" Hagakure agreed with Ochako and Ashido from her seat in front of Bakugo.
"Not sure if I have enough of a death wish to call him that" Kaminari sweatdropped from next to Jiro.
"Deku, when I'm done with those idiots, your next" Bakugo growled in anger, shooting everyone in his vicinity a withering glare, only making Kirishima and Sero laugh at his attempt to dissuade the girls from their fun.
Izuku didn't mind the threat, the conversation had done well enough to wake him up. So long as he could get past home-room without seeming tired, he should be able to avoid a lecture from Mr Aizawa.
As it turned out, there wasn't much on the agenda today. Morning classes were the same as always, which was a challenge as Izuku felt his sleep deprivation come back full force. He counted himself lucky that he was used to doing this to himself or otherwise he would have ended up face first in his English notes during Present Mic's class.
"Dude, how used to working without much sleep are you?" Kirishima's question during lunch caused a rueful chuckle to escape Izuku's lips.
"Far too used to it, during the home stretch of making my suit, I'd stay at the lab all the time. At one stage mum had to have Jusen drag my sleeping form back to our apartment, after not going home for a week and a half. She didn't let me back to the lab for a week after that" he chuckled, remembering the tongue-lashing his mother dealt him, Izayoi, Dr Science and Jusen over the incident.
"Jusen's the guy with the scarf right?" Jiro's question caused everyone to look at her with raised eyebrow's "What?, I just wanted to see what Tin Man's lab looked like so I went back with him yesterday".
"Ahh, so it was Kyoka that you were with then" Ashido's declaration caused Izuku to facepalm.
"Moving on, yes, Jusen's the one with the scarf" Izuku answered Jiro, hoping the others decided to pity him.
Fortunately, Momo was the one to speak up next.
"You said you where working on a project, anything to do with what you mentioned the other day?".
"Yeah, one of the plan's I had in that book" Izuku nodded toward the pony-tailed girl.
"Ah, so you know about that too Yaoyarozu?" Jiro questioned Momo, who rose an eyebrow and nodded.
"Yes, he showed me when we finished up with picking the Staff Officers, I did promise to help him with them before I left his la..." here Momo cut herself off, but it was too late.
"Ahuh, so you did go over to Midori's lab the other day" Ashido's naturally wide grin was even wider.
Momo felt her cheeks flush as she waved her hands in front of herself.
"It was because we needed more time to set out the Class Officers".
Everyone chuckled at Momo's panicked state but chose not to tease her more.
"Izuku's manliness aside what did you guy's think of Mr Kiritsugu yesterday?" Kirishima's question caused the group to stop for a moment.
"I think he was great" Ochako let her opinion know without any restraint.
"He seems to teach a little more in depth about our Quirks" Iida commented with a hand on his chin.
"Hey Midoriya, you seemed to know about him" Sero stated turning to face Izuku.
"Only what I've heard, his mentor, Skull Face was a friend of one of my mentors. Though Dr Science doesn't really talk about it much" despite it being clear how close they were as friends, Dr Science rarely seemed to talk about Skull Face. Which Izuku could understand given the circumstance.
"Still though, a sidekick as a teacher, he must be pretty damn awesome to be asked to teach here by Nedzu of all people" Kirishima grinned widely.
"Remember what he said yesterday though, regarding Sidekicks and Heroes being essentially the same. One can surmise that a Sidekick has just about as much of a right to teach here as the full fledged Heroes" Tenya said, recalling Kiritsugu's words.
"True, when he put it the way he did, you realise that Sidekicks really are the same as Heroes" Momo's comment got a round of nods from the table.
The afternoon classes weren't any more stand out them usual, All Might had them again and he put them through a simple obstacle course to test their cognitive and physical reflexes, the goal being to reach a target location where a disaster is happening as fast as possible. It would have been simple, had All Might not been throwing powered down Smashes in their direction, blowing them all over the place.
"I noticed you didn't use your suit" Momo commented to Izuku as they packed up for the day.
"All Might took me aside before the start of the course" Izuku scratched the back of his head "He said that there are times when I might not be able to use my suit, so I should train without it as much as I do with it".
"I can see how that would make sense" Momo conceded with a nod
"Tell ya what though, those Smashes are brutal" Kirishima rubbed his head, he had been flung hard into a wall from one such Smash, he even felt it through his 'Hardening'.
"I don't think anyone weathered those good" Sero muttered.
It was then a knock was heard from the opened door to class one. Standing in the doorway was a girl, she stood around five foot five with orange hair done up in a side ponytail, her green eyes scanning the room, before grinning.
"Hey there Class One A, the names Itsuka Kendo, I'm the Class Representative of One B. Just wanted to come and meet the Representative of this class" her upbeat attitude seemed to shine through.
"Err, I'm Class Representative of One A, Izuku Midoriya" Izuku stepped forward.
Kendo grinned widely and walked over to Izuku.
"Sorry to come in unannounced, I thought it be a good thing to introduce ourselves to one another".
"It's alright, I should have done the same thing, It's good to meet you Kendo".
"Same here Midoriya, anyways, I was wondering if we could get out respected Officers together maybe some time next week. Seeing as we're first years we won't have much say in the Student Council meetings, I thought maybe we could pool together and at least keep our classes in line".
It was true, despite the various Class Reps and Officers meeting once a week, every Friday, First Year students only had to attend once a month. This was mostly because it gave the students time to acclimate to their roles.
"That's actually a good idea, if both our sides work together, we'll be able to better manage everything" Izuku really liked the idea of working with the other class.
"Great, how about next Tuesday after classes?".
"Sure, I'll tell the othe..." Izuku paused and grimaced at the prospect of asking Katsuki.
"Not a good day?" Kendo asked, tilting her head to the side.
"No, it's just one of the Officers I picked, he's not really forthcoming with things like this".
"Ah, I hear ya, I kinda lucked out with my lot, they seem to listen to what I say... well mostly" she too now wore a bit of a sour face, as if remembering her own problems.
The two Reps shook their heads in tandem, before laughing at their apparent shared plights.
"Anyway, I'll see you on Tuesday then Midoriya" with a wink and a spring in her step, Kendo left the room.
"She doesn't seem too bad" Momo had been watching Izuku's conversation with the female Class Rep from the side.
"I know, with any luck we all might just be able to work together" Izuku was happy that his Class B counterpart was proactive with her position.
"Hey Midoriya, how do you do it?" the question was asked be Mineta.
"Err, do what?" Izuku was confused by the question.
"How do you seem to be surrounded by hot chicks all the time, share the wealth man" Mineta proceeded to beg.
"I... I don't know what you mean" Izuku felt his cheeks heat up at the diminutive boy's assumption.
"You gotta admit Midoriya, you kinda have a few girls around ya, I mean Yaoyarozu, Jiro, Ashido and Uraraka, and I saw you with a pink haired chick yesterday when you guys left, now ya got a hottie from the other First Year Class, tell us lesser men how to be popular with the ladies as well" Kaminari joined Mineta, though he wasn't begging just yet.
"Guy's... I don't..." Izuku was stuttering again, trying to deny the two's claims.
"Calm down Tin Man, don't let Sparky and Micro-Perv get under your skin" Jiro smirked, rapping her knuckles lightly on Izuku's shoulder.
"Sparky?" Kaminari seemed confused by his sudden nickname, while Mineta started sobbing over his.
"T... thanks Kyoka" Izuku sighed, nodding his thanks to the ear-jack girl, she had insisted to be called by her first name before she left yesterday, due to what they would be working on together. Though Izuku didn't have any luck dissuading her from calling him Tin Man.
"He's even rubbing it in" Mineta's sobs turned to wails as he ran out of the classroom.
"Err, shouldn't we..." Izuku, ever a boy who just wanted to help, gestured in the direction Mineta ran off in.
"No, he'll be fine, the pervert's nothing if resilient" Momo mumbled as she began walking to the door.
Nodding his head, Izuku followed with Kyoka in toe, Kaminari bringing up the rear chuckling to himself.
"So anyway, what's your lab like Midoriya?" the lightning haired boy asked curiously.
"Kinda a vague question Kaminari" Izuku stated with a raised eyebrow.
"Right, right, sorry 'bout that, just have this vision of a lair in a cave. Computer screens lining a wall, Armoured suits lining another and a car geared up and ready for action."
"That sounds less like a lab and more like a base of operations" Izuku sweatdropped.
"It's just a normal room with tables and gadgets" Momo supplied.
"Though he does have this hi-tech stand for his suit" Kyoka added with a smirk.
"Ya gotta at least have an elevator taking ya up to a mansion" Kaminari exclaimed.
"I... think you might have me confused with some other Hero" Izuku muttered.
The four continued to banter back and fourth until they reached the station where Kaminari parted with them first with a hearty salute.
"So, what is it exactly your helping Tin Man with Yaoyarozu?" Kyouka's question got the pony-tailed girls attention.
"Anything that he'd have need of me for" Momo responded promptly.
"... You really should be glad Ashido and Hatsume aren't here after a line like that" Kyoka held back the urge to chuckle.
Tilting her head to the side, Momo went back over what she said, before blushing hard.
"That's not what I meant" she flailed her arms in front of herself.
Kyoka couldn't help letting a chuckle escape at how adorable a flustered Momo was, she could tell Izuku thought the same as he too fought to hide a grin.
"Ahem, anyway, what was the reason you went over there to his lab yesterday, you said something earlier about wanting to just see it?" Momo asked, reigning in her blush.
"Yep, though I saw him writing in one of those books of his, I got curious and wanted to know more" Kyoka grinned "Though I have to admit, he is very thorough in what he does".
Here she nudged Izuku lightly in the side as he blushed at her compliment.
"Indeed he is, we should expect nothing less from our Class Representative" Momo nodded in agreement.
"Anyway, my train just pulled up, see you both on Monday" with that Kyoka was gone leaving Izuku with Momo.
"Is there anything regarding those books that have to do with Jiro?" Momo decided to ask, turning to face Izuku.
"Yeah, she was one of the few an idea just popped into my mind for, while she was over yesterday I told her of my plans and she gave me the details of her Quirk, it'll allow me to make the adjustments far quicker now that I know, but there is still a lot of work to be done" Izuku explained with a grin.
"I see" Momo wasn't sure why she felt a little... despondent, but shook her head to clear away the thought. She would deal with that some other time.
It wasn't long before Momo's train arrived and she bid goodbye to Izuku, leaving him in quiet contemplation. For the first time in the last few days he was going back to the lab by himself.
'Man, I never thought that I'd make as many friends as I have in just a week' quiet frankly, he was surprised with how easy it had been.
Being essentially isolated from kids his age since his Grandfather started to home-school him, Izuku had been prepared for a hard time of acclimating back into regular school (if one could call U.A regular). Instead, he had found it easy to make the friends he had, most of which approached him of their own accord. None the less he was happy, going to the school of his dreams and having a number of good friends to go with it. He could ask for nothing more.
-AHA-
Parts-splunking, a term lovingly dubbed by a certain steampunk enthusiast. Izuku had tried to get out of calling it that, but Mei wouldn't have it. Even now, while trudging through the various electrical stores and second hand junk shops Izuku couldn't help but refer to it as such in his head. While using the contacts of Tetsu Industries to order any and all parts one would need, Izayoi had impressed upon Izuku that sometimes, you could find useful parts in nearby stores. Somehow this methodology had appealed to and rubbed off more on Mei when she learned of it more then it ever did with Izuku. Let it not be said however, that there wasn't times when he thought it just might be worth it. It was that trail of thought that lead him to his outing this Saturday morning, PDT in hand stocked with all the pertinent details he required. He wore a simple dark green t-shirt and a pair of dark grey cargo pants, along with his by now signature Armoured boots and gauntlets, as well as his backpack.
"I know I'm not allowed to use them outside of U.A but habit got the best of me" he was already at the market by the time he realised he had actually equipped his suit.
The April sun was starting to arch westward, signalling late morning. The weather was just starting to warm up from winter, so most people had already acclimated to cooler clothes.
Exiting from a store, he pulled out his phone and checked the recent news. A few reports on some small time Villains causing commotions in random parts of the city took his interest.
'Hmm, five Villain incidents, that's unusually high."
It wasn't uncommon for one or two incidents to crop up, even with All Might present as a 'nuclear deterrent'. Five was somewhere in the uncommon frequency. It happens enough to not be rare, but not often enough to be common.
' Wait a second, these locations, why do they seem...?' Izuku's thought processes were thrown off by an explosion a few blocks away.
Panic set in as the crowed scattered away from the building that had exploded, people rushing about, ricocheting in all directions. Though he had began to reach for his backpacks latch, Izuku stayed his hand and moved swiftly to the side. He couldn't use his suit, but damned if he wasn't going to see if people needed help.
Upon arriving at the building, he noticed that the area he was in was devoid of people, reaching up and flipping a switch on the inner strap of his backpack, Izuku, then pulled out his PDT.
"S.A.I, do a scan of the surrounding environment, see if there are any life-signs" though only good for a hundred metres without his suit's functioning mode to boost the signal, the scan would at least be able to locate anyone that needed help. For five minutes Izuku searched through the rubble, that's when he noticed something.
"Wait a minute, where are the Heroes?".
It was then he heard a high pitched whirring sound, looking down the street he saw a red haze shot straight up into the sky before stopping about a hundred metres in the air. Spinning around, Izuku saw a similar haze from the opposite side, the two hazes, at their maximum height, then shot across, connecting in the middle, making a box of sorts about three hundred metres in length and a hundred metres high. He then realised what it was about the locations of the five attacks that seemed odd.
"They all circled this location, which means that Heroes who could make it here would be called to deal with those problems, leaving here out of reach for immediate arrival. The only reason I could think that that set-up would be used is if someone was setting a trap."
"Very good instincts".
Before Izuku could respond to the voice, he felt a solid impact to the side before being launched from the wrecked building he was in and onto the street. Wheezing and scrambling to his feet a he looked in the direction of where he was thrown and his eyes widened.
Standing amongst the wreckage of the building was a large form. Coloured a dark cobalt blue with a glowing white centre and eyes, and an easy nine to ten foot frame. It was a suit of armour, like his.
"Impressive, isn't it?" a modulated voice spoke, making it impossible to discern gender.
Hacking a cough and spitting out phlegm Izuku narrowed his eyes.
"Who are you?" he asked, his hand already finding his suits latch.
"Kind of pointless to ask a masked person their name isn't it?" a tinge of humour made it's way into the modulation "But humans do so like to label things... For the time being, you can call me the Iron Monger."
"Why are you doing this?" to be honest, Izuku didn't know why but the situation was odd. From what he had been able to determine, the bomb had detonated in an empty building, so civilian casualty wasn't a target. In fact, it seemed that the shielding that now surrounded them was set up after all the civilians had left the area.
"A good question, the simplified version is a test" the large suit spoke "I want to test my suit against yours, this shield will keep others from interfering with us until I've concluded my test."
So, whoever this was was after him.
'Damnit, I guess I don't have a choice' in an instant, Izuku unlatched his suits core plate and placed it on his chest and within seconds he was fully suited.
"Ahh, there it is. Quite a remarkable piece of machinery, I'm gonna assume you used nano-machines to compact the suits structure, allowing you to carry it" the way it spoke almost sounded as if it was impressed.
'This guy obviously knows the science' Izuku thought as he began strafing to the side slowly.
"Alright, time to get this test under way" with a quick movement, Iron Monger's hand was up and a blast fired from it's palm.
Izuku boosted backwards as the repulsor blast hit the ground causing a small explosion of concussive force. Before he had a chance to retaliate, a segment opened up on the right rib part of the blue coloured suit and a volley of missiles fired out. Taking off into the air, Izuku swerved erratically, establishing the missiles had heat seeking tech. Flipping in the air after causing several of the missiles to crash into each other, he cleared the rest coming at him with duel repulsor blasts.
Not being able to recover his bearings in time, he felt a large force smash into him, sending him crashing into the roof of the shielding a blast of concussive force exploding through his suit, Izuku was sent careering into the Iron Monger, now in flight. The Iron Monger pivoted in mid-air as Izuku drew close and delivered a powerful elbow strike to the back of his suit, causing him to rocket down and hit the ground, causing a small crater.
'S...Shit, Repulsors, Micro-Missiles and flight capability.' "S.A.I, damage report".
"Torso and backing plate armour sustained fifteen percent damage, computer system's are online but took a blow due to the concussive blast from the shielding, energy readouts at eighty one percent" the automated voice listed the suits damage while Izuku assessed his own.
"Damn, those two blows probably bruised a few ribs, and I can feel pins and needles setting in from the force of hitting the ground" looking up into the air where the Iron Monger was lowering itself, Izuku grinned "Alright, round two".
Boosting forward, he contacted the Iron Monger's chest while flaring his Repulsor blasts. The effect caused the massive machine to arch backward where Izuku capitalised by boosting up and delivering a flat ankle kick to the head area, causing the massive machine to flip. As the Iron Monger reached a one eighty spin, rendering it upside-down, Izuku pivoted on one leg and kicked out with the other, flaring his boot thrusters and sending his target across the street. He ended his combo by launching his own Micro-missiles at the Iron Monger before it could recover. The resulting explosion caused fire and debris to fill the area.
"S.A.I, scan the area" as Izuku commanded his A.I, he felt something grab onto his arm.
"Just as I'd expect from my rival" the modulated voice intoned as the metal Goliath became visible from the smoke, it's left hand firmly grasped around his arm, attached to it's wrist by a cable.
"Shit, extendible hands" was all Izuku could mutter before he was pulled forward, toward the giant.
The Iron Monger flipped Izuku around as it's hand reattached to it's wrist, slamming him back fist into the concrete ground, causing sparks to dance across his suit, before wrenching him up and slamming him down again this time front first. Izuku barely had time to register being lifted before a fist smashed into his stomach, causing the wind to be knocked out of him before the Iron Monger's right hand gripped his helmet. With his vision obscured, Izuku felt himself being jettisoned hard backwards until his back stuck a wall, his vision returning just in time to see both of the Iron Monger's arms raised.
"Crap" he muttered as twin repulsor blasts slammed into him, blowing him through the wall.
Lying on his back, he heard the thudding footsteps of the Iron Monger as it made it's way toward him.
"S.A.I, damage report" Izuku realised he didn't have long and had to come up with a plan.
"Torso damage at fifty three percent, helmet damage a eighteen percent, left upper arm ten percent. Remaining power at forty four percent. I recommend you run Izuku, your current opponent is much stronger then you."
"Not gonna disagree with you there, but I don't think I've got much of a choice" he rolled to the side a scrambled to his feet, he was out of the Iron Monger's line of sight, his left hip compartment slid opened and he gripped his Energy Bola, a slot behind his left lower leg opened up revealing his smoke grenade which he threw over the busted wall.
As he heard the grenade detonate, he boosted up into the air as the wall he was hiding behind was destroyed by the Iron Monger's blinded repulsor blast. Flipping in mid-air, he threw the Bola into the centre mass of the smokescreen.
"Wha?" He heard the Goliath's muttered surprise before seeing sparks through the smoke.
As the smoke cleared, the Iron Monger was seen with the Bola wrapped around it's torso, electric surges dancing across it's body showing it struggling against it's bindings.
"Heh, that's pretty good, a paralysis inducing rope thrown blindly into a smokescreen, you take risks when you have to as well" the modulated voice spoke and the helmet tipped, as if acknowledging Izuku's strategy.
"Well, you weren't giving me much options" Izuku growled out through heavy breaths "Your suit has a lot more stopping power then mine."
"Your right, while sacrificing manoeuvrability I do gain more defence and attack options" there was a tone to the modulated voice, almost as if it wasn't concerned about it's present situation "This rope you've made, it's a capture device constructed to capture human Villains isn't it?"
The question got Izuku's guard up instantly, as he shifted backwards a little.
"Ahh, so I'm right. Given the fact that you want to be a Hero, I'm also gonna guess that this won't have any lasting damage" electricity began sparking more wildly as a hydraulic whir filled the air "And if this is meant mainly for humans..."
With a heave, the Iron Mongers arms sprang apart, destabilising the Bola's electric field causing the rope to fall apart and spring back together.
"Your smart Izuku, building that suit, this Bola" you could hear the grin in the modulated voice "I'd love to sit down with you and discuss robotics function and application of current technology, but I have a point to prove to myself."
Izuku boosted upwards as the Iron Monger fired it's left repulsor, what he didn't count on was a compartment at the back of the behemoth machine to open up as a circular device was risen up and clamps that were attached to the Iron Monger's heels slammed into the ground. Folding out forward the circular device formed a shape that resembled something Izuku wasn't expecting.
"A Charged Particle Cannon" he only had a moment to move, but the following beam of white and purple hued electrons still clipped his right shoulder.
In a mere instant, the armour plating of said shoulder was disintegrated, the circuitry beneath began to spark wildly and he felt like his shoulder was melting.
"Right shoulder damage at ninety two percent, subsequent particle damage has caused remaining energy to drop below thirty percent."
Grunting in pain as he landed, Izuku took stock of his deteriorating situation.
'Damn it, that last blow almost finished me. Though I don't think it was meant to be fatal, it lost a lot of power just taking out my armour'.
As the Cannon was retracted into the suit and the clamps returned to their position, the hand of the Iron Monger shot out. Izuku dodged to the side, but an error in his suits control system kept him from dodging the second hand. He was pulled to the Iron Monger, who held him up with both arms.
"Seems that you're out of moves" the modulated voice spoke.
It was right, there wasn't anything Izuku could do from this point.
'Micro-missiles have no effect, my Bola was snapped off easily, repulsor blasts may as well be open palm slaps for all the good they'd do. Using 'One for all is out of the question, I can't control it enough to not damage the surrounding environment even more. If only there was some way...' Suddenly he had an idea.
"S.A.I, place a majority of the remaining energy I have into my boot thrusters."
Noticing the power reroute on his hud, he brought his legs up and jammed them into the Iron Monger's chest.
"Huh, what's this, a last ditched plan?" the metal giant asked.
"Those hands of yours, they're a great design, allowing you to grab enemies from afar and pull them to you" Izuku smirked from behind his face-plate "I could think of a dozen strategies for using them just off the top of my head, but right now, they do however give me a thirteenth strategy, on how to use them to my advantage".
Before the Iron Monger could respond, Izuku flared his boots, the majority of his remaining energy smashing hard against the chest of the Iron Monger. Confused by the sudden choice of attack, a suddenly sound of steel rope untwining cause the Goliath the realise just what Izuku's plan was, but just a fraction too late.
With the sound of splitting high tensile metal, the Iron Monger's hands were ripped off from it's wrists as Izuku flew backwards, hitting the ground and bouncing a few times before getting up. The two large hands that formally held him falling to the ground with a lifeless clunk.
There was silence between the two as they faced one another, before a laugh sounded.
"Hehehehahahahaha, that was great" the Iron Monger's modulated laughter filled the silence, causing Izuku to raise an unseen eyebrow "You... you had nothing left and you still manage to rip my hands off".
Izuku was confused by the Iron Monger's sudden levity, he was expecting anger at the damage, maybe apathy because it was a last ditched effort. Humour was the last emotion he was expecting to bring out.
A whirring sound distracted him as he noticed that the shielding was starting to fade.
"Ahh, that's my cue to exit" the Iron Monger activated it's boot thrusters "Izuku, I really loved this fight, you are definitely a worthy rival, let's consider this a draw and may the best person win our next bout".
With that parting shot, the Iron Monger shot up into the sky just as the shielding died down leaving Izuku a heave a sigh as he collapsed on the ground.
"Huh, I think we might have gotten here a little late" a voice came from behind.
Izuku managed to crane his neck in the direction of the voice and saw a man standing in what looked like a streamlined version of Tenya's Hero Suit.
"Your... your Ingenium" Izuku felt his mouth run dry in surprise at seeing one of the most accomplished young Heroes walking over to his collapsed form.
"Heh, my reputation proceeds me. However I don't know who you are?" Ingenium's question caused Izuku to raise his arm and push up his face-plate.
"I... my name is Izuku Midoriya, I'm not a Hero. I go to U.A, I'm in the same class as you brother Tenya."
"Hmm, ahh your the guy Tenya said was the Class Rep" Ingenium spoke, remembering his brother's recount of the Class Representative election process "So what happened here kid, you look really banged up, and who was that flying away".
Despite the pain ripping through his body as Ingenium helped his to stand, Izuku recounted his entire ordeal.
"Man, you've been through a lot kid, surprised your standing, can you get that suit off so I can get ya too a hospital?".
Nodding his head, Izuku managed to disengage his suit, thanking whatever deity up there that the compacting mechanism wasn't damaged.
Thankfully, or luckily Ingenium was was among the fastest Hero's in Japan so it wasn't long before Izuku was admitted to hospital.
"Anyways kid, you'll have to speak with a member of the police force to get everything squared away, I'll contact the school and they'll send someone over as well"
As Ingenium left the medical room, Izuku fished out his own phone debating on whether to call his mother or Izayoi.
"I guess both" he muttered, deciding to call his grandfather first as he'd likely be on the phone with him less then his mother who'd definitely have a panic attack.
-TO BE CONTINUED-
A/N : Yes, Iron Monger, the introduction of the first Iron Man Villain counterpart. I thought about changing the name but decided that right now, it suits who's wearing it. I also snuck in Kendo from Class 1-B as well.
One thing I can say is that I'm not terribly confident with fight scenes it's why this chapter took so long to complete, writing something that in essence is purely visual in words is really hard so I'd like some feedback on what you guys thought on my attempt.
Thank you everyone who reviewed my last chap, especially those who encouraged me and gave me tips and idea's and let me know what you thought.
Peace out.
