SO. THIS CHAPTER IS A LITTLE SHORT, BUT HEY, IT'S NOT TOO SHORT?
AND HEY, IT'S LIKE, OUT RIGHT AFTER THE LAST ONE!
SO HEY, I'M A GOOD PERSON RIGHT?! RIGHT?!
"Down there...!" Izuku shouted as they ran along Koto's city walls. She pointed her sword down at a group of demons trying to attack, and she bit her lower lip as she saw them claw at the stone.
"Got it!" Kirishima called out as he slid to a stop and Uraraka stopped with him. "We'll handle this, you guys keep looking!"
"Be careful!" Izuku called out to her friends as she continued to run with Katsuki, Kaminari and Todoroki along the wall. They hadn't seen too many other demons along the one they were following, and she huffed to catch her breath as she kept up with the others.
"Izuku, you need to stop...!" Katsuki called out as he ran beside her and she shook her head. "Izu after that attack it's probably come back out, you need too-"
"I took my medicine! I'm alright!" She looked over at Katsuki and saw blood still dripping down his face "You're bleeding too, but we need to make sure the city is okay!"
"What are you guys shouting about?!" Kaminari called out behind him and Todoroki looked back over his shoulder at them both as well.
"None of your goddamn business!" Katsuki snapped angrily, and Izuku let out a sigh as they kept running.
"It's a curse, I'll explain later!" She shouted at them and both boys looked at her with wide eyes. "Right now we need to keep Koto safe!"
"A curse?!" Kaminari cried out, and shook his head. "You should stop then, what does it-?!"
"DEMONS!" Izuku shouted and pointed up at the sky. Some more of the crow type demons were swooping over the walls and their group slid to a stop. "KAMINARI! SHOUCHAN!"
"Got it!" Kaminari shouted as he drew his bow back and shot out his lightning attack towards the bird monsters. Todoroki swung his sword out as well, sending shards of ice in their direction, and they took the flock out.
"They've never been this bad..." Todoroki huffed as the group continued running along the walls. "And something that big never showed up before either, this is..."
"The Demon Alliance..." Izuku grunted out as they ran down some stairs and continued on along the wall. "They're here, I knew it..."
"Tch, the fuckers are hiding some where in the shadows!" Katsuki snapped angrily and Izuku nodded her head as they continued running. "Those bastards... They probably waited until we showed our faces in the town, now they think they can take us out?!"
"We won't let them!" Izuku pushed to the front of the group and gripped the handle of her sword. She felt her muscles electrify, and she ground her teeth together. "WE'LL STOP THEM HERE!" she shouted before there was a loud boom further along the wall. Her eyes widened as she saw flames in the air along with black smoke.
"What the...?" Kaminari's eyes widened as he looked up at the smoke, and Izuku felt frozen to her core. If there were flames...
"IZU!" She heard Katsuki shout, but she kicked off the ground with a loud bang from her power. She landed a good distance away from the others, and kicked off the wall once again, launching high into the air. She saw Iida and Yaoyorozu on the wall ahead of her, both of them staring wide eyed at a crater on the wall where the smoke and orange flames were.
"IIDA! MOMCHAN!" Izuku shouted as she came crashing down onto the stone and they both looked at her with wide eyes as the stone cracked under her feet. "WHATS-?!"
"Your Majesty..." Izuku shivered as she heard the words, and she looked through the smoke with wide eyes. She saw Natsuo standing on the other side of the wall with his brother Touma. They both had their swords drawn. "Sorry, we were lending aid." Touma said simply and she felt her nerves calm down a bit as she looked at the second oldest Todoroki brother.
"Are you okay..?!" Natsuo shouted over the crater at her group and she stood up fully and nodded her head, before she looked down at the ground outside the walls. "There's-"
"Demons...!" Izuku's eyes widened as she saw the large group of the creatures trying to climb their way up on the stone. She stepped back, pushing Iida and Yaoyorozu back with her hands as she did. "I was right, they were trying to break down others parts..."
"We only got this far when we ran into their highness's!" Iida said with a groan and she looked back at her friend. She saw his arm bleeding, and Yaoyorozu was holding what looked like a canon on the wall. "We sent the other heroes further along to met up with Hawks but more came from the forest!"
"We got rid of the large Nomu." Izuku said with a huff as she looked down at the horde of demons before them.
"You mean you did," Yaoyorozu sighed out, and Izuku let out a nervous laugh as she rubbed the back of her head. "We could hear the bang from over here, and saw the creature fall. Did you know you glow in the night?"
"Yeah, I don't have to be afraid of the dark." Izuku grinned at her friends, before she looked back down at the horde. "Lets deal with these before they get in. The others are coming this way."
"Allow me to assist." Izuku looked across the broken wall as Touma spoke up, and she saw flames rolling off his curved sword. "I think together we can deal with this many."
"Well, the help is welcome." Izuku nodded her head to him, and she watched his teal eyes look back at her. She felt another shiver down her spine, and touched the back of her neck nervously. She nodded to Touma, and he nodded back to her, before they both slid down the broken parts of the stone wall, and looked over the edge. "You take that side..." Izuku pointed to the right, and Touma nodded his head to her, and she looked to the left. "I'll take out this side, be careful of the wolf types, they're stubborn." she told him and felt a hand on her shoulder.
"So are we..." he muttered out and Izuku looked up at him out of the corners of her eyes. He was looking at the demons with a twinkle of excitement in his eyes, and she felt nervous as the teal looked back at her. "ready, Your Majesty?"
"Uh... Yeah..." she nodded her head, and looked away quickly. She felt uneasy about this, wasn't Touma supposed to be inexperienced with demons? She shook her head, and jumped off the wall with him. She swung her blade out at the snapping jaws that were pointed up at her, and cut down the chunk of demons under neath her. She felt a wave of heat from her right, and looked over to see dark orange flames obliterate a good chunk of demons. She had no time to stare, and she whipped her head back around and sliced down another demon that jumped at her, before she slid er foot back in the melting snow. She gripped the handle of her sword and felt the power pulse in her hand.
"Demon Slayer!" She shouted out, and swung the bade once more at the horde that closed in around her. She felt her back explode with pain as the attack let out it's powerful blast, and she dropped to one knee in the snow groaning a bit as she grabbed the back of her neck. She looked up to see the smoke from the disappearing demons, then over to her right as Touma dealt with the rest of his side.
"WHOA!" Natsuo shouted from above, and she looked up at the others as they looked out at the blast range from her attack. "NOW I SEE WHY YOU'RE KING! HOLY CRAP!"
"A powerful attack," Touma huffed out as he dropped to a knee in the snow and looked up at her. She looked back at him as he analyzed her, and she saw sweat drip down his cheek. "Never seen something like that before... Are you hurt...?" He asked, tilting his head to the side. She pulled her hand from her neck quickly and shook her head.
"No, just tired.." she said with a sigh as she stood up and ignored the pain on her back.
"IZU! GOD FUCKING DAMNIT!" She looked up at the wall and saw Katsuki leaning over the side with Todoroki and Kaminari. They were next to Iida and Yaoyorozu, and she smiled up at them. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, BLASTING OFF ON YOUR OWN LIKE THAT?!"
"Hey, she helped us out!" Natsuo called out and pointed at the ruined part of the wall. "They were starting to get in!"
"Izuku, are you alright?!" She looked to Todoroki, seeing a deep look of worry on his face, and she nodded her head as she dug her hand into her pocket.
"I'm fine, It's nothing!" she called up to the wall, and she looked over at Touma as he sheathed his sword. She hurriedly pulled some pills out of her pocket and shoved them into her mouth as she ran over to the wall with him. She looked up at it, and held her hand out to the prince. "Give me your hand, I'll get us up there."
"What a chivalrous King." She looked over at the Prince as he reached out and took her hand. She looked away from him again, feeling a nervous sweat roll down her cheek as she gripped his hand in hers and activated her quirk with her sword. She jumped up onto the wall with him, and huffed for a second as she grabbed some loose rubble with her hand and pulled herself up along with the prince.
"Izu.." She looked up as Katsuki crouched down and took her hand in his. He pulled her up onto the part of the wall that was still okay, and she felt his arms wrap around her. "Please stop.." He whispered out to her and she felt her cheeks redden as she gripped the side of his tunic in her hand. "You can't keep this up tonight..."
"I have too," Izuku told him and pushed away from his chest. She looked up into his eyes, and saw pain and anguish there. She frowned at him, and looked away quickly. "Lets keep going." She turned from him, and saw the others watching in concern. "Until we meet up with Hawks on his end, we're not done yet." she said with a sigh as the group made their way to the other side of the wall where Natsuo was.
"Hold on." Todoroki sighed out as they came to the other Prince's side with Touma. Todoroki drew his right sword and slammed it onto the wall. A large tower of ice shot up out of the crater made in the stone, and he sighed. "It's temporary, but it will keep demons from climbing up this part."
"Good idea," Izuku smiled and nodded to her friend.
"Heeeeeey!" Izuku turned her head as she saw Uraraka and Kirishima come running along the wall with smiles on their faces. "We finished off those other demons, you guys alright?!"
"Yes!" Izuku called out as they came up to the group. "Any injuries?"
"Just a scrape!" Kirishima grinned as he showed the group his arm. "Nothing big! You guys?!"
"We're all good," Izuku smiled at them, and heard Katsuki growl in anger beside her. She looked up at him nervously, and he narrowed his eyes at her in frustration. "Nothing life threatening..." Izuku said simply, and watched him look away. "Let's keep going..." Izuku turned her head, and the group started running along the wall once again.
"Izuchan... Is your back alright...?" Izuku looked over at Uraraka as she ran along side her. "Do you-?"
"I'm fine," Izuku smiled brightly at her friend and nodded her head. "We're almost done," She looked forwards and saw what she knew was hawks flying in the sky.
"What's he doing...?" Iida asked curiously as the group continued running, and they heard shouts from the heroes he had with him. Izuku saw tree branches shoot out from the top of the wall, and the group slid to a stop. Izuku ran towards the edge and looked down over the side. Her eyes widened as she saw another large group of demons below... But her heart instantly froze as she saw black flames glowing blue from the trees.
"It's him..." Izuku stepped back from the edge of the wall, and felt her hands shake as the others watched with wide eyes of horror.
"Izu..." She snapped her head to look over at Katsuki who was looking back at her with angry eyes. "You're not going down there." He said firmly and Izuku stepped forwards, a frown on her face. "Not if that bastard is down there!" She stopped as Katsuki walked up to her and grabbed her by the hand. Everyone turned to look at them, and Izuku felt a lump grow in her throat as a nervous sweat ran down her cheeks. "Icy Hot..." Izuku looked over at Todoroki as the prince stood straight and gripped his sword. "It's you and me..." Katsuki looked over at him, and Todoroki nodded his head. "We'll pay that bastard back in kind from the shit he pulled on the Survival trip.."
"H-Hold on..." Izuku reached her hand out and grabbed Katsuki by the arm as he lifted a hand up to his cloak. "You can't...! He'll...!"
"He's nothing but a piece of shit," Katsuki stated simply, and he unclasped his cloak and tossed it to her. "And he's going to die today..." Izuku watched him with wide eyes as he looked back at Todoroki. "You've done your part Izu, now it's our turn." He nodded to her as she held the cloak in her arms.
"We'll take him out," Todorki said as he stepped up and Izuku looked up at him, then back to Katsuki who was rolling up his sleeves.
"But he's dangerous!" Izuku cried out at them and gripped the cloak in her hands. "He'll kill you if he has the chance! He won't kill me!"
"And he wont get near you either," Katsuki said firmly and Izuku looked up at him worriedly. "This is our fight as well,"
"We owe him after the forest..." Todoroki said simply as he tossed his cloak to Natsuo who caught it with ease.
"HOLD ON!" Izuku shouted as the boys both turned to the edge of the wall and they nodded to each other. "KACCHAN!" she shouted out, before the boys leaped over the wall, and she ran to the edge of it again. Her eyes widened as she saw ice crackle across the ground while Katsuki blasted off towards the battle long side him.
"They're going to get themselves killed!" Kaminari shouted in a panic and Izuku looked over at the others. She saw shock on all their faces, and she gripped the cloak in her arms before she turned her head towards the heroes further along the wall. She took off running, throwing the cloak around her shoulders and clasping it shut as she did. She could hear the others following as she drew her sword once again as she approached.
"Your Majesty...!" Izuku looked up at Hawks who seemed shocked to see them all running their way. He was with a man that appeared to be made out of wood, and a woman with long blonde hair and a tight fitting body suit. "What are those two doing out there...?!" He pointed a finger towards the forest that was burning in those eerie blue flames that haunted some of her nightmares.
"They're going after Dabi..." Izuku stopped on the wall as Hawks landed beside them on the wall.
"I can't get close, her burns my attacks." The man made of wood huffed out in anger.
"And these demons keep coming from that black stuff...!" The woman shouted as she pointed at the ground. Izuku looked over the edge to see black mist swirling around, and felt her heart freeze. "This is like that Badlands place all over again!"
"Kacchan... Shouchan..." Izuku looked up at the tree line, and her eyes widened as she saw Ice shoot out over the flames while a flurry of explosions went off.
"WE KNOW YOU'RE HERE!" Katsuki shouted loudly at the forest as he landed in the snow with a crunch. Todoroki slid to a stop beside him, and brandished both his swords.
"Well now... The first wave has arrived..." a chuckle came from the woods, and both boys glared darkly as Dabi stepped out. He had a hood up over his head, covering his face. "A Prince... And a King... Sadly neither of you are what I was hoping for..." the man laughed, and Katsuki could see the teal eyes glowing in the light of the flames left over from under the hood. "Where's her majesty...?" Dabi chuckled and Katsuki snarled in anger.
"She's not coming out to greet you," He snapped, and his hands crackled with explosions at his sides. "And you're not getting near her you sick fucking freak!"
"Well now, I feel a bit left out." Dabi laughed once more and lifted his hands up. The boys both readied themselves for an attack as he pushed his hood back off his head. "I thought she was hear to greet everyone in the Forest region... And I am from here." The man grinned at the boys, who both stared at him with wide eyes. He had a large scar on the left side of his face, clearly a sword wound. "I guess I'll settle for the entourage though..." he grinned darkly at the boys.
"Get off this land... AND OUT OF MY REGION!" Todoroki shouted loudly and swung out his left sword. Flames flared across the land and towards Dabi, but he struck out with his sword and the flames were blown away with his own blue ones. "BAKUGOU!"
"DIE!" Katsuki shouted as he rocketed in after the flames, catching Dabi off guard. The Tribal King slammed his palm towards Dabi, but he kicked off the ground out of the way, before striking out with the sword again. He was too slow though, and a wall of ice got in the way while Katsuki landed on the ground and blasted off it again up into the air over the wall. He glared down at Dabi, before he spun and let out a flurry of blasts at the man, knocking him back across the ground and further out where everyone could see. "ICY HOT!" Katsuki shouted and Todoroki slid out after Dabi as he steadied himself on the ground and grinned at the boys. The young prince slashed his sword and a wall of ice curved around their enemy, while both boys ran towards him. Katsuki held up his hand, the explosions crackling while Todoroki charged his left sword with his flames. They both launched at Dabi who readied his sword, and there was a loud boom as explosions and two different colors of flames lit up the night sky.
"KACCHAN!" Izuku shouted in a panic as the group on the wall watched from afar. She gripped her sword tightly in her hand, and looked over at the others who were in awe. "We have to get that mist to stop...! And these Demons!" she pointed down the wall and the man made of wood, who she learned was named Kamui looked down at them.
"Lacquer Prison!" he shouted and Izuku watched bracelets glow on his arms as they suddenly grew and tangled up the demons.
"We've got it!" Jirou shouted as she stood up on the wall with Kaminari. He shot out bolts of lightning down at the demons to destroy them as they struggled, while Jirou used her ear jacks and daggers to destroy the rest.
"We need to stop that mist some how...!" Izuku got up on the edge of the wall and looked down at the portal as more demons crawled out of it. She ground her teeth together and looked round at the ground. She saw large boulders that the blast from the battle further out had created, and she grinned. "Ochachan! Eijichan! Kyochan!" She looked back at the others and they all looked up at her. "Momochan! Iida, and Hawks...!" She glanced up at the winged hero, before she looked back at the battlefield. "I have a plan...!"
"You two think you're tough, huh?" Dabi laughed darkly at Todoroki and Katsuki as the boys huffed to catch their breath. The three of them glaring at their enemies. "Not as tough as Izuku though," He laughed out as he stood up and grinned darkly at the other two. "She needs some one who can stand on her level,"
"You think that's you, you piece of shit?!" Katsuki snapped angrily at the man and Dabi let out a chuckle. "You can't even lay a fucking hand on either of us!"
"As if we'd let you get close to her anyways!" Todoroki shouted and pointed his blade at Dabi. "If you think you can try and take her away again, you've got another thing coming, you fucking loser!"
"Oh? You think either of you can stop me?!" Dabi laughed loudly and the boys glared at him. "It takes two of you to even get close! You're both just pebbles pretending to be diamonds." The man grinned and swung his sword out to his side. "I'll end you both right now!" He shouted as he ran towards the boys who both jumped forwards to attack. Katsuki shot up into the air while Todoroki shot across the ground with the use of his ice.
"DRAGON HEL FIRE!" Katsuki shouted s he let out a flurry of explosions, while Todoroki brought his ice sword up to create a shield for himself. Dabi slid to a stop and blasted flames up at Katsuki with his sword, grinning.
"See?! YOU CAN'T EVEN GET CLOSE!" Dabi shouted up at him and Katsuki grinned murderously at him from the air.
"THINK AGAIN!" Todoroki shouted and Dabi turned his head to look down at the prince that had snuck up behind him from the ice. He slashed out his flame sword, and nailed the Demon Alliance member in the back with it, sending him flying up into the air with the burst of flames where Katsuki greeted him, his palms crackling.
"DIE YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" Katsuki shouted as he grabbed Dabi out of the air with his hands and his palms crackled loudly as he jerked his body to throw the man into the ground. There was a loud blast, and the earth shook as the explosions sent Dabi flying into it.
"Bit overboard, don't you think?" Todoroki huffed out as he slid to a stop while Katsuki landed on the ground beside him. They both huffed for breath as they glared over at the crater in the earth that was smoking.
"Tch, that asshole deserved it..." Katsuki snarled out and Todoroki looked over at him. "She has nightmares because of that piece of shit..." He turned his head to look up at the wall, and both boy's eyes went wide as they saw what was taking place.
"IIDA!" Izuku shouted as she ran down the branches that Kamui lent her, Kirishima and Iida. The Knight grinned at her, and she heard his quirk on his legs kick to life, before he shot forwards and brought his foot swinging down on the demons in their way. Kirishima smashed some apart with his hardened arms, while Izuku swung her sword and sliced some of the monsters in half. The three of them landed in the snow below, and continued to clear a path in the horde that was making it's way out of the mist. "OCHACHAN! KYOCHAN! NOW!" Izuku shouted and she looked up to see the two girls jump off the wall and sail over their heads. She smiled as she turned to run with the boys towards the swarm of demons, while the girls went after the large boulders on the ground. "MOMOCHAN! KAMINARI! DEFEND!" Izuku shouted as she sliced down some more demons in her way. She saw lightning arc across the sky and hit some of the flying beasts down, while canon fire was heard and some of the large bear like creatures were turned to smoke ahead of them. She darted forwards past Kirishima and Iida as they continued their attack, and she grinned as she ran straight for the dense part of the horde. She saw claws come at her face, but she jerked her head back and slid under them through the snow. She saw jaws snapping and more talons trying to catch her as she continued to slid under the demons, before she stopped and she gripped One for All in her hand tightly. She sliced the demons above her, turning them to smoke, before she reached behind herself and grabbed the metal pole Yaoyorozu made her. She slammed it into the snow, before she felt her legs crackle with power. She kicked off the ground with a boom, and shot over the demons through the sky. "NOW KAMINARI! PUT ALL YOUR POWER INTO IT!" She shouted, as she crashed into the snow and slid through it once more.
"EVERYONE TAKE COVER!" Kaminari shouted as he drew his bow back and took aim. The ones on the walls covered their ears and Izuku smiled as she saw her blonde friend grin as his fingers crackled with electricity. She threw herself behind a wall of Ice Todoroi had left behind, and heard the crack of lightning, before there was a loud explosion.
"YES!" Kirishima shouted and Izuku poked her head around the wall of ice to see boulders and pebbles hitting the snow, while black smoke drifted up into the air. The lightning blast had taken out most of the demons, and she took off running towards the pole she had left behind in the ground. She glanced over to see Jirou and Uraraka getting a hold of the biggest boulder they could find, and she smiled as she reached out and grabbed the pole out of the rubble the blast left, while Kirishima and Iida dealt with the few demons that managed to avoid the blast.
"I do believe, it's our turn." Izuku looked up at Hawks as he swooped down in the air towards her and landed in the snow. "This is a pretty hefty plan, think it'll work?" He asked and Izuku turned her head to look at the black mist portal in the ground.
"It has too." She looked over at Hawks with a grin, and he nodded his head to her, before he pulled two large feathers out of his wings. The tied them to the pole, and Izuku looked up at the girls as they hurried over with the boulder. She jerked her head to look at the portal with Hawks, and his feathers ruffled, before the ones holding the pole stiffened. She grinned as they went running towards the portal, and she held up the pole in her hands. "Make sure you send them flying when I say!" She told Hawks, and he nodded his head to her, as they approached She pulled the pole back in her hand, aiming for the portal, before she heard shouts all around her. She turned her head as she felt a wave of heat, before her eyes widened as she saw blue flames coming her way.
"DABI!" She only had a second to shout, before she felt something catch her clothes. She went flying through the air, and closed her eyes as the wind whipped past her, before she connected with something hard. Her breath left her as she heard more shouts and the crumble of rock all around her. She hit something hard again, and felt herself tumble across the ground before she rolled to a stop. She gasped for breath, each one stinging as she tried to collect herself off the ground. She turned her head, blood clouding her vision as she looked up and saw legs and feet all around her. She ground her teeth together as she saw feathers in her sleeves and she pushed herself up off the ground.
"Your Majesty...!" She just about crumbled back onto the ground before she felt hands grab her and hold her up. She looked around at the blurry faces, and her eyes widened as she saw Kori from earlier in the day, along with a few of the other towns people. "Are you alright?!"
"She came flying through the wall!" Someone shouted, and Izuku lifted her head up and steadied her feet underneath her, while some of the people smacked her on the back. She smelled burning, and looked at the right side of her tunic, to see it smoldering. She glanced up at all the worried faces in front of her, before she looked down at Kori who was holding up a scarf.
"Sorry about that... Didn't mean to surprise you twice in the same day." Izuku grinned at Kori, and took the scarf as it was offered to her. She lifted it to her face and wiped away the blood that clouded her vision. She lifted her head up again and saw One for All laying on the ground by the wall. "Thank you, I'll buy you a new scarf," Izuku smiled at Kori who too the scarf back from her.
"Your Majesty, you just crashed through a wall, you need help!" A man called out as Izuku walked over to her sword. She pulled her bloodied gloves off of her hands, and pocketed them while the crowd moved to let her through. She stopped as she looked down at One for All on the ground in front of her, and felt her back burning with pain.
"Your Majesty!" Izuku bent down and grabbed her sword by the handle. She stood up as her power crackled through her body and jumped off her skin in he green electricity. She turned her head to look back at Kori as she hurried over, a determined look on her face.
"I can't stop now, there's a hole in the wall." Izuku said with a smile to the woman, and held up a hand to stop her. "I'm going to get rid of those demons and make sure you're all safe." She looked up at the crowd, before she looked back down at Kori as the old woman came to a stop in front of her.
"Dear, I wouldn't dream of stopping you!" Kori huffed out, and Izuku felt a laugh pull at her as she saw the look in the old woman's eyes. "Anyone who can stand up and walk after getting thrown through a wall is tougher than nails! What I wanted to say, was Kick their asses!"
"HAH!" Izuku let out a laugh as the whole crowd looked at Kori with wide eyes. "I will," Izuku nodded her head to the old woman, before she turned to look through the hole she had left behind. She saw a battle raging out in the snow, while Iida and Kirishima defended the hole in the wall from the new onslaught of demons. "When I get through, is there anyone here who can repair this hole?!" Izuku shouted and looked out at the crowd. She saw a few hands raise, and grinned, "Make sure you plug it up after I'm through! We don't need demons getting in!"
"A WOLF!" A woman cried out in a panic, and Izuku turned her head around with a snap as she heard shouts of surprise from the crowd, but no one was screaming or running. She raised an eyebrow in confusion, before she saw the crowd part. Her eyes went wide as she saw a massive wolf step through the crowd. It was as large as a bear, and it's fur was a beautiful sky blue. She looked to the eyes the wolf had, and saw the same color in them, as well as a look of determination.
"Hiro... Are you here to help?" Izuku asked with a grin as she looked at the wolf, and saw it nod it's head as it walked over to her. She grinned as she saw it step up beside her, and she turned to look at the hole again. "It's dangerous out there, ever fight a demon?" She looked back down to see the wold nod it's head. "Okay then, how did you want to do this?" She asked, and the wold bent down and nudged her legs. She fell onto it's back, and her eyes went wide with surprise as she gripped the fur gently while the wolf stood up fully. She sat up properly on it's back, and looked at the wide eyed crowd around them, before she swallowed her nerves. "Well come on! MOVE IT!" She shouted, and the wolf lifted it's head and let out an ear piercing howl into the sky. She grinned as she wrapped an arm around it's neck, and the wolf took off running. It jumped through the hole in the wall and Izuku heard the crackle of stone behind her as the hole was sealed back up. She sat up fully on the wolf's back, and smiled as she saw the others turn to look at her in surprise and horror as Hiro blew threw some low level demons, his jaws snapping down on their necks and turning them to smoke. Izuku swung her sword out, sending some flying back with a blast of power as they barreled through the growing horde once again. She saw explosions and flames ahead of her, and ground her teeth together.
"Hiro, This is far enough!" Izuku shouted and the wolf slid to a stop in the snow. She turned her head to see the blue flames blasting towards Katsuki as he soared through the air and landed in the snow with a boom. "Assist the others!" She got off the wolf's back, and turned her head to see Hawks dealing with some demons, defending Uraraka and Jirou. "HAWKS! GO THROUGH WITH THE PLAN!" Izuku shouted over at the hero, and he nodded head towards her.
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Izuku snapped her head around as she heard Dabi shout, and she glared at him as she saw him running towards her with his sword drawn, and a crazy grin on his face. "I've waited months for this...!"
"You'll have to wait a bit longer!" Izuku shouted over at him, seeing the scar on his face that she hd left behind from their last fight. She slid her foot back in the snow, and eyed up the terrain. Katsuki and Todoroki were chasing after Dabi, she ground her teeth together. "MOVE!" She shouted at them as she gripped her sword with both hands, and the boys slid to a stop, before Todoroki shot towards Katsuki and grabbed him by the arm. She grinned as the boys got out of her way, and she felt One for All pulse in her hands, before she swung the blade. There was a loud boom, and the wind rushed past her as she took out some straggling demons, and sent Dabi flying back towards a tree that he crashed into. She grinned as she spun on her foot, and narrowed her eyes at the demons surrounding the portal.
"URGH!" Izuku felt a hot flash of pain in her back as she went to swing her sword again, and she stopped. She fell to one knee in the snow, and gripped the handle tightly in her fingers as she huffed for breath. She looked up at the demons ahead of her, and made herself stand up with a groan of pain. "One for All... Come on..." She huffed out as she used both hands, and pointed it towards the demons that snapped their heads to look at her. "Can't let a little curse take me down... Give me the power..." She huffed out to her sword, and saw the demons scramble as they sniffed the air. She felt the burning pain on her back crawling down her arms and legs. It felt like a hot knife was cutting her all over, and she gripped the sword tightly in her hands as it glowed golden.
"IZU!" She heard Katsuki shout behind her, and she swung her sword out to the side as the demons ran towards her. She glared at the glowing red eyes, and steeled her nerves. "STOP, IZU! WE CAN HANDLE IT!"
"IZUKU STOP!" She heard Shouto shout, and she kicked off the ground towards the demons.
"IZUCHAN!" Uraraka shouted out and Izuku swung her sword out, ignoring their calls for her to stop. She had enough standing back... She had the power to end this now. "DON'T!"
"DEMON SLAYER!" Izuku screamed out, and the world silenced again, before the boom. The snow was sent flying and the demons screeched out as they were turned to black smoke. "HAWKS! NOW!" Izuku screamed out over the shouts from her friends.
"GOT IT, YOUR MAJESTY!" Hawks shouted as he shot forwards and threw the pole he had in his hands towards the portal. The feathers pulled it and Izuku watched half of it sink in, and her eyes went wide.
"KAMINARI! NOW! SHOOT IT NOW!" She shouted out and she heard the crackle of lightning, before a large bolt of lightning shot through the sky and hit the pole once again. Her eyes went wide as she watched the light show before her as their friend on the wall continued to keep the string of lightning up. She could see the portal growing smaller, and she grinned. "OCHACHAN! KYOCHAN! SEND THEM THEIR GIFT!" she shouted and swiped her hand through the air. She saw the girls dive forwards and Jirou whipped the boulder through the portal after the pole. She could see the stream of lightning holding up as it went into the black mist with the boulder, and she held up her hand. "NOW! RELEASE IT!" She shouted and Uraraka held up her staff and twirled it. The group watched the hold swell up in size, before it snapped shut quickly.
"It worked..." Kirishima was the first to speak over the gasps for breath, and Izuku looked up at everyone around her. She looked back to where the portal was before, and sheathed her sword on her back.
"IT WORKED!" Kaminari shouted from the wall with some other heroes, and Izuku turned her head to look over at the forest. She glanced over at Todoroki and Katsuki who both looked over at the tree's in realization, and the three of them took off running towards the tree she had sent Dabi flying into. "YOUR MAJESTY?!"
"DABI!" Izuku shouted in anger as she saw the man sitting up in the snow, holding his head. "YOU! YOU'RE DONE!" She shouted as Todoroki slammed his ice sword onto the ground. Dabi was shot up into the air, encased in a pillar of ice, except for his head.
"Oh am I...?" Dabi asked darkly, and Izuku glared up at him as he grinned down at her. "Sorry to say this, sweet heart... But I'm not done yet." He told her, and she reached behind her to grab One for All again. "No need for that..." Dabi shook his head, and she raised an eyebrow at him, before he grinned once again, and his face started to melt.
"NO!" Izuku shouted, and her eyes went wide. "YOU-!"
"I'll see you again soon," Dabi laughed at her, and she felt angry tears come to her eyes as she glared up at him while his whole body turned into goop. The heroes around them went silent as they watched the black goop drip down the ice, and Izuku dropped to her knee's in the snow.
"... Damnit..." She brought her hands up to her eyes as tears of anger pushed their way through. He was just another clone... Like Toga... The real Dabi was still near by... "Damn... it..." She swayed backwards, and felt the pain over take her. It burned all over her back and the tops of her arms. She fell back and felt an arm reach out and catch her from hitting the ground.
"IZU!" her hands fell from her face as Katsuki called out her name, and she looked up into his ruby eyes as his arms coiled around her and held her up. "Izu! Hey! You moron, come on..!" She saw him looking at her desperately, and he reached into her pocket and pulled out her medicine. She lifted a shaky hand up and he poured some pills out into her palm. She gripped them tightly in her fingers as he fell to his knee's and cradled her as she shoved the medicine into her mouth and swallowed hard. "You idiot..." She felt his arm hug her close to him and she let out a soft laugh as she wrapped a weak arm around him. "You're bleeding everywhere..."
"I'm sorry..." Izuku muttered out into his shoulder as he held her. She could feel his arms shaking and she closed her eyes.
"What's going on...?" She looked to Todoroki as he knelt beside them both in the snow while others came running to assist them.
"A clone... It was a clone.." Izuku huffed out as Katsuki loosened his grip on her, and she sat in the cold slush. "It wasn't really Dabi..."
"I'm getting that... But you..." Todoroki raised a finger and pointed at her neck. She looked up at Katsuki as he grabbed at the neck of her tunic and pulled it shut around her neck tightly. "What is that on your neck...?" Todoroki muttered out in a hushed tone, and Izuku held up a hand.
"I'll explain later..." she told him, and Katsuki buttoned up the top of her tunic to keep the mark that crept up her neck hidden.
"Where did this wolf come from...?!" Uraraka cried out, and Izuku looked back at the others as they got closer, and she looked up at the large sky blue wolf that stomped through the snow. Her eyes widened as she saw it holding Katsuki's cloak in it's teeth, and grabbed at her shoulders.
"Must have fallen off..." Izuku muttered as the Wolf approached them, and held the cloak out. Katsuki reached up and took it, and the wolf looked down at Izuku with those knowing sky blue eyes. "... Thanks, Hiro..." She smiled at the wolf and it nodded it's head to her before it stepped back.
"Hey isn't..." Todoroki pointed at the wolf, and then looked at Izuku.
"The Sky Blue..." Hawks started to speak, and Izuku looked up at the hero as his eyes went wide. "The Sky Blue Thief...!"
"Hold on...!" Izuku pushed herself up out of the snow and held up a hand as everyone turned on the wolf. She held her hands out to the sides, and they all stopped. "He just helped us out, don't go turning on him!"
"But...!" Izuku looked over at Kaminari and Iida who were eyeing up the wolf. "He's a criminal...!"
"Right now, he's a wolf who happened to help us out." Izuku told them all, and glanced up at hawks who had a look of conflict on his face. "Considering everything that happened... We can just say he got away in the chaos of battle, right?" Izuku asked them all, and everyone lowered their guard. Izuku looked at the wolf, and saw it nod it's head to her once more. "Go on, before more come," She told him, and pointed her hand back at the wall. The wolf stepped back, and took off running towards the wall where there were no heroes left. She watched him leap up over the stone barricades and pause on the wall, before letting out a howl into the sky, and disappearing on the other side.
"... I have to say, I didn't expect you to come back out here after getting blasted through the wall." Hawks said with a sigh, and everyone turned to look at Izuku as Katsuki and Todoroki got to their feet next. "I especially didn't expect it to be on the back of a giant wolf... And the Sky Blue one no less..."
"I like to make an entrance..." Izuku grinned up at Hawks, and he grinned back at her. "Everyone... Go check on the walls again... I think we took out the main problem, but get rid of anything that's left.." Izuku pointed a finger off towards the walls. "The Dabi we saw today was a clone, so we have no reason to stick around here, but we should keep this area under surveillance."
"I'll take word to Lord Endeavor," Iida said with a nod of his head, and Izuku smiled at her friend before he took off running.
"I'll do a check of the city and surrounding area," Hawks said with a sigh as he turned to leave.
"Everyone..." Izuku smiled at the others as they all looked at her, and she felt a sense of calm and relief. "Thanks..." she told them all with a bright smile, before her whole mind went blank.
The last think she remembered, was Katsuki shouting her name.
