Before we start, I want to explain why I decided to do this now rather than waiting to do this in the main story.
The answer is simple. I saw the Heroes Rising movie, got hype, integrated it into my story, realized how long I would have to wait to do this in the story, and then decided to write this.
In other words, it would have taken way too long and I didn't want to wait. Am I impatient? Probably. Is this a good idea? Maybe not. Am I doing it anyway? Yup.
Also to confirm, Momo is the protagonist while Izuku is dead. She's been through a lot, A LOT, since the point in the story we're in now. Let's just say, I have a lot of plans for her in the main story, most of which end badly for her, so she acts differently than how she is currently so keep that in mind.
And as a reminder, these are the pro hero versions of these characters, their older, more experienced and more powerful then they were in the movie.
Oh yeah, on last thing, since the odds are going to end up stacked against Nine if I left him with just his abilities and allies from the movie, I gave him a bit more to work with.
Momo thought tonight would be a relatively uneventful night, as it always was on this Island.
Still, it was always good for a hero to stay vigilant so she went on patrol anyway. Well calling it patrol would be a bit much, she was simply walking around the hero agency, staying there in case someone came asking for help.
And to her surprise, someone did.
As she was walking she saw the boy from earlier running up to the agency, appearing to be looking for someone.
"Can I help you?" Momo walked up to the boy.
"Um, t-there's a villain." The boy said.
Momo gave the boy a puzzled look and studied his expression.
She could tell he was lying by the slight guilt on his face, and given that his sister wasn't with him, this was most likely her doing.
Momo sighed. "Take me there."
At the old castle
After a short motorcycle ride, they had reached the place where the "villain" was.
Riding up, Momo could see the "villain." It appeared to be some kind of mantis-like monster.
"RAHHH!" The monster roared when it saw Momo, turning to approach her.
Momo sighed as she got off the motorcycle and walked up to the monster.
The monster attacked Momo, smashing his claw right into her...only for her to walk out of it seconds later as if the claw wasn't even there.
Because it wasn't.
An illusion. Momo thought. My guess is that it's that girl's quirk, now where could she be hiding?
Momo activated her cowl's detective mode and looked around, eventually spotting the girl hiding behind some rocks.
Momo walked up to the rocks and pulled the girl out by her shirt collar. Freaking her out and causing her quirk to deactivate.
"Hey!" The girl protested.
"This is twice now," Momo said. "Calling heroes under false pretenses, and using your quirk without a license. Do you know that those are actual crimes, right young lady?"
"Hmph!" The girl pouted. "How did you know the villain was fake!?"
"A villain of that size would have made indents on the ground." Momo pointed at the ground that the fake villain stepped on, showing them that it was unharmed. "And the wind stayed the same, when if a villain of that size moved it would cause a change in the wind patterns. Also, it had no stench."
"Ok I get it I get it!" The girl pouted. "Still you could have gotten a little scared."
"Get scared? So that was your motivation." Momo deduced. "You wanted me to get scared by the fake villain, and make a fool of myself, is that right?"
The girl just pouted and turned her head.
"It seems your motivation in doing this is to make either me or just heroes, in general, look bad." Momo deduced. "Why?"
Again, the girl stayed silent.
Momo sighed. "Well, I can't force you to talk. But I will have to notify your legal guardian."
Rather than asking for the child's information, as she likely wouldn't have any luck with that, she used her cowl's identification feature.
"Your name is Mahoro Shimano and your brother's name is Katsuma Shimano correct?" Momo asked to make sure her information was correct.
"Hmph!" The girl pouted, intent to not speak to her under any circumstance.
"Your father is working away from the Island which explains why you're able to run around at night unsupervised," Momo said.
After getting their father's number from her cowl, she made a phone using her quirk and dialed.
A few seconds later he picked up.
"Hello?" Came the father's voice. "The caller I.D. said this was the Nabu hero agency? I didn't even know Nabu got a hero agency."
"Papa!" Cried both children.
"Mahoro? Katsuma? What's going on?" The father asked, this time in a more concerned tone.
"Hello, sir this is Batwoman. Me and some other heroes decided to open up a temporary hero agency on the Island." Momo explained. "Your children have called our agency twice under false pretenses, and your daughter illegally used her quirk to try and trick me into thinking that a villain was attacking."
"Mahoro! Katsuma! You two know better than to do things like that." Their father lightly scolded them, making both of them lower their heads. "I'll be talking to both of you about this when I get home. I'm very disappointed in you both."
This made the children sink their heads lower in shame.
"I'm so sorry about this." The father apologized. "Could you please just let them off with a warning this time?"
"That was my intention. This Island's crime rate is so low and there are enough heroes here that they wouldn't have put anyone else in danger. And I can overlook everything else." Momo said. "Your children are fine."
"Thank you." The father said. "Ah, I have to go back to work."
"Understandable sir, have a nice night," Momo said just before hanging up.
She looked at the now demoralized kids and sighed. "I'll be escorting you home now."
"We can go on our own." Mahoro crossed her arms.
"Yes but I feel uncomfortable letting children walk home alone, regardless of how safe this place is," Momo said. "So, lead the way."
Another short motorcycle ride later.
Momo watched as the kids entered their home, slowly walking in with their heads down, the sister being in particularly bad spirits.
Even after Mahoro walked inside, her brother remained behind. He turned around and gave Mom an apologetic bow.
"I'm sorry!" He apologized sincerely.
Momo knelt down to the boy's height. "It's alright. I have a feeling that this was your sister's idea anyway. If you're really sorry, then next time she tries to do something like this, talk her out of it."
The boy nodded. "Big sister said that the heroes would get scared. And that they wouldn't come to save us."
"Well as you could see, she was wrong," Momo said. Then, she got an idea. "Tell me, do you want to be a hero? I can tell by the Edgeshot pin and Batman badge that you're at least a fan."
Katsuma hesitantly nodded. "But...my big sister doesn't want me to. And my quirk isn't good for being a hero."
"It's not about the quirks." Momo shook her head. "Batman didn't even have a quirk and he was the leader of the number one hero team of Japan. Besides, Cellular activation is a very useful quirk. It could help save a lot of lives on the field."
The boy's eyes widened and brightened. "Y-you really think I can be a hero?"
"Of course." Momo smiled gently. "People should try their best to achieve their dreams...but at the same time, you shouldn't worry your family too much. Your family loves you, treasure them."
Katsuma nodded. "Ok! T-thank you."
"Katsuma! Hurry up!" His sister shouted.
Katsuma nodded at her sister and gave Momo and Polite bow before running inside.
So that explains why she wanted to make heroes look bad. She was trying to keep her brother from becoming one, and putting himself in harm's way. Momo revved up her motorcycle and started the drive back to the hero agency. Well, I guess I can't be too upset with her. How can I be upset with someone who goes out of their way for their family...wonder what that's like.
The next day
It was a normal day at the temporary hero agency. With the heroes going in and out to help the people of the Island.
All except for Momo, who was staying around the agency, waiting in the corner, in case of a villain attack, or something that would require detective work.
Then suddenly, Momo got a call from Melissa in her cowl.
"Momo," Melissa said. "Something is seriously wrong back here, and if it keeps up we may have to call you back."
"What is it?" Momo asked.
"There have been a series of attacks going on all over Japan, in which the victims, mostly heroes, ended up with their quirks missing," Melissa revealed.
"Oh. That is really bad." Momo said. "That can only mean two things. One is being stolen, or two they're being destroyed."
"Right," Melissa confirmed. "I've already gone through some of the suspects. Baby Doll is still locked in the anti-gravity chamber in the cave so it's not her."
"We don't know if Anarchy and his group ran out of quirk erasing bullets so it might be them," Momo said. "It's probably not Scarecrow even if he still has some bullets left. He doesn't really go after heroes."
"And Eri is here so there's no way safe and sound so there's no way anyone could make more," Melissa said. "And before you ask, I double-checked, it's the real Eri."
"Have you checked All for One's grave? Is he still dead?" Momo asked.
"We saw him die Momo." Melissa deadpanned. "We burned his body to make sure."
"We also thought he was dead after his entire face was punched off and All Might left him with his head bleeding out in a crater. But he came back from that." Momo pointed out.
"He is a pile of ashes." Melissa reminded her. "Besides, Izuku set up sensors around his grave, because he was also just as paranoid about this as you, so I would know if he became a zombie or if his ashes turned sentient or something."
"Alright so then it's probably not him," Momo said. "Could it be Luthor?"
"Maybe," Melissa said. "Although the most recent attack was on a civilian, and I don't know why Lex would do that. Also, I forgot to mention, during the last attack, the whole city was set on fire and multiple buildings were destroyed by powerful bolts of lighting."
"I see," Momo said, thinking over that detail and his head. "Well-"
Ring Ring. Ring Ring.
Momo looked over at one of the ringing phones in the office, that was currently unattended.
It's a small chance, but this might be important. Momo thought.
"Please give me a second," Momo said before putting Melissa on hold.
She picked up the phone and was immediately met with the sounds of people screaming in the background.
"Villains!" Shouted the voice of Mahoro. "Help!"
Momo's eyes widened, she could tell by her tone she was serious this time.
She immediately started running to her motorcycle. "Everyone, there's been a villain attack! Get ready for combat!"
She jumped on her bike and sped off, taking Melissa off hold. "I can't talk right now. Villain attack!"
"What how!? The crime rate of the place is zero!" Melissa exclaimed.
"That's just how our life works." Momo sighed.
A little while later.
Mahoro ran as fast as she could away from the beach where the villains had been, with her little brother holding her hand right behind her.
They ran as fast as their legs could carry them through the trees and to their home, but just when it was within sight.
BOOM
Suddenly, a bolt of Lighting came down and crashed into their house, destroying it all instantly.
"O-our home." Katsuma trembled in fear.
The two of them jolted up in fear, as they heard a pair of footsteps coming up behind them.
They turned their heads and saw Nine coming up to them.
"Ah, there you are." Nine said, using one of his quirks he could see that Katsuma had the quirk he wanted. The quirk he needed.
"I won't kill you." He assured the child. "But I will take your quirk."
Mahoro stood defensively in front of her little brother, both of them shaking in fear.
Nine walked closer to the children, his arm outstretched, ready to take the last quirk he needed.
Then three Batarangs came flying out of the bushes, taking Nine by surprise and hitting him in the back and exploding, enveloping him in smoke.
Momo jumped out of the bushes and ran over to the two children.
"Both of you get out of here!" She shouted.
Then from the smoke, a purple laser shot out at Momo, hitting her in the back sending her flying forward.
"AHH!" Momo shouted as she fell face-first into the dirt.
"Batwoman!" The two kids shouted out in concern. Neither of them doing what Momo had instructed.
"Batwoman?" Nine stopped, giving Momo time to get to her feet. "What is one of Justice League members doing all the way out here?"
Momo didn't respond and instead just created and threw a few electrically charged batarangs at Nine.
Nine put up a barrier and the batarangs bounced off of it.
Ok, this guy definitely has multiple quirks. Momo analyzed, creating a capsule full of acid and throwing it at the barrier and throwing a batarang right after it. So far he seems to be able to control the weather, shoot what looks to be light-based energy beams from his fingernails and put out barriers.
The capsule hit the barrier and acid burst out, melting a hole in the barrier that he batarang flew through and hit Nine in the face, exploding and causing Nine to stumble back.
"Gah. Clever." Nine said. "But that won't be happening again."
As Nine held up his hand about to shoot his lasers again, Momo created a mirror shield, so when Nine shot out the lasers, Momo held up the shield and deflected them back at him.
Nine barely managed to put off a barrier in time, blocking the lasers completely.
He doesn't look like a Nomu. Maybe a hybrid? Or could he be responsible for the missing quirks? Momo thought.
Suddenly a blue snake-like dragon shot out of Nine's back and charged at Momo, jaw open ready to bite down on her.
Momo backflipped back and threw some more exploding batarangs at them, ultimately doing nothing.
Darn it! How many quirks does he have? And my explosives aren't doing anything. I'll have to switch to something more destructive. Momo strategized.
Another dragon popped out of Nine's back and went for Momo.
The two dragons charged at Momo from either side. Momo created springs under her feet, allowing her to jump high into the air where the two dragons followed.
Momo created six, high power explosive batarangs and threw them down at the two dragons, before covering herself in her cape.
BOOM!
A massive explosion hit the two dragons, causing them to crumble and disappear.
Momo fell back down to the ground, using her cape to slow her fall.
I suppose this is to be expected of a member of the Justice League, but she is taking far too long to beat. Nine thought.
Suddenly Momo heard the storm clouds start to rumble, and flashes of light could be seen in dark clouds.
Momo knew what was about to happen and immediately reacted, throwing down a flash grenade and jumping out of the way.
Krakoom.
The flash grenade went off, making Nine cover his eyes, and lightning struck the ground.
After half a minute Nine regained his sight, in front of him was a crater from the lighting, but it looked like it missed Momo, who was nowhere to be seen.
She threw off my aim with that flash. Nine thoughts. It looks like she left with the kids. They won't get far.
Meanwhile, on the beach.
Chimera cracked his knuckles as he faced off against some of the other heroes.
Todoroki, Iida, Sero, and Kaminari stood against the villain preparing themselves for a fight, while Ochaco got an injured Ojiro away from the area.
"Villain! Desist all illegal activity and surrender!" Iida shouted. "Otherwise we will be forced to-"
FWOOSH!
Chimera interrupted Iida by letting out a stream of flames from his mouth.
Todoroki made an ice wall to block the flames, but of course, using ice to block fire can only be so effective and the ice wall melted in no time.
Iida activated his quirk and sprinted at Chimera, dodging another blast of fire and going for a kick to the head.
Chimera raised his arm to try and block the attack, but Iida's leg was too strong, and the kick went right at his face, causing him to stumble back.
"Gah! You're strong, I'll give you that." Chimera rubbed his now slightly scuffed up face.
That barely even scratched him. Iida noted. But that's fine. I just needed to divert his attention.
Suddenly Chimera was wrapped in Sero's tape, and then Todoroki's ice consumed him.
"You think that stopped him?" Kaminari asked.
"I give it about six seconds until he breaks out," Todoroki said, he put his hand on the ice and started using his fire on the inside of the ice.
"RAHHH!" On cue, Chimera broke free of the ice, frozen shards and water flew into the air, as the melted ice dampened his fur. "You guys are really starting to get on my nerves."
"Well, then how about some shock therapy!" Kaminari said as he knelt down and put his hand in a puddle of water in front of him.
Chimera's eyes widened and he quickly looked down to see that there was a lot of water pooled under him thanks to Todoroki melting his ice.
"Indiscriminate discharge!" Kaminari shouted while he unleashed his quirk.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Chimera screamed as he was hit with the maximum amount of power Kaminari's quirk had to offer.
"GAH! AGH!" Chimera used all the strength to lower his head and open his jaw, as he let out another stream of flames, right at Kaminari.
"Kaminari!" Iida shouted as he ran to get his friends out of danger.
Sero beat him to it though as he wrapped Kaminari's waist with tape and pulled him out of the way of the fire.
With Kaminari no longer electrocuting him, Chimera was free to move at last.
"Ah. Ah." He panted, gritting his teeth in anger. Time to stop messing around.
Chimera's coat started to rip and tear as he grew in size. His body morphed as he assumed he was fully powered from.
"Everyone! Watch out! He's getting stronger!" Iida shouted.
Chimera opened his maw and unleashed a massive beam of energy at the heroes.
Todoroki tried to put up a wall of ice to block it, but he couldn't make it thick enough in time, so the beam just went right through it, hitting Todoroki, Kaminari and Sero head-on.
BOOM!
"AHHHHHH!" The heroes cried as they were all engulfed by the blast.
"NO!" Iida cried as he sprinted towards the smoke that came from the impact of the blast.
When the smoke cleared he saw that his friends were still alive, however, they were badly injured and all of them except Todoroki were unconscious.
Todoroki tried to get to his feet but immediately fell down.
"Damn it." Iida cursed, then he heard a loud noise from behind him and immediately started running, dodging another mouth blast.
I need to keep his attention away from the others! Iida thought as he sprinted around. I have to hope that the others can take care of the other villains and assist me.
Elsewhere.
"Tsk." Mummy was starting to get annoyed by the two heroes in front of him.
Aoyama and Mineta were taking care of Mummy's puppets, with Mineta making them stick together, limiting their movements and making them easier for Aoyama to destroy them.
It was just a constant stream of Mummy making puppets, and the two of them destroying them.
"We can't wait for him to run out of stuff! We have to take him out!" Mineta shouted.
"Oui!" Aoyama said. "I have an idea, buy me some time!"
Aoyama then started charging his laser.
Like hell, I'm letting that happen! Mummy thought as he sent some of his puppets and bandages at Aoyama.
Mineta ran forward, throwing a ball under his foot and bouncing into the air, before raining down balls on all the oncoming attacks, attaching some explosives to his balls for good measure.
KABOOM
Suddenly the balls exploded, destroying all the attacks that were coming at Aoyama.
"Haha! Have some of my sticky bombs!" Mineta shouted, before throwing down some more balls all around Mummy.
"It's time!" Aoyama shouted. "Shining laser!"
Aoyama unleashed a massive laser, engulfing the whole area in light.
Mummy's eyes widened and he instinctively tried to move out of the way to dodge, only to step on one of Mineta's balls.
FWOOM
Mummy was engulfed in the laser, and the blinding light quickly gave way to darkness, as Mummy was knocked out immediately.
When the light dimmed and the smoke cleared, Mummy was lying unconscious in a crater.
"Whew." Mineta sighed in relief. "Finally! This guy was annoying!"
"Oui! Let us assist the others." Then Aoyama's stomach began to gurgle. "After I take some medication."
Elsewhere
Cling Clang!
Dark Shadow's claws and Slice's hair clashed, over and over and over again as the two fought. With Mina and Kirishima standing in the back, waiting for a chance to jump in.
Tokoyami grunted as he and Dark Shadow were pushed back by the power of her hair.
"Could you guys, gah! Move a bit faster!" Tokoyami jumped back to dodge a swipe from her hair.
"I'm on it!" Toru said, her voice coming from nowhere, taking Slice by surprise. "Cheese!"
The whole area was enveloped by light, blinding Slice, who closed her eyes and covered herself with her hair to defend herself.
"Mina, Kirishima! Now!" Tokoyami shouted.
Mina ran forward, with Kirishima following behind her, and shot acid out all over Slice's hair, melting most of it off of her.
"My hair!" Slice shouted before Kirishmia charged forward and sawked her in the face.
"Red gauntlet!" Kirishima yelled as he sent Slice flying into a tree.
"AHHHHHHH!" Slice shouted as the back of her head hit the tree.
She slumped back and fell into a sitting position, leaning back on the tree as she barely managed to stay conscious.
"Damn you!" She shouted as she shot out her hair at them.
Kirishima pushed everyone behind him and took the full brunt of the attack.
The sharp, hardened hair, simply bounced off of Kirishima, doing nothing to the young hero.
Seeing as her attack was ineffective, Kirishima charged forward, and delivered another blow to her face, causing the tree behind her to snap.
"Red counter!" With that last blow, Slice fell into unconsciousness.
"Whew. Nice work Kiri!" Mina cheered.
"Aw, it was nothing. You were the one who got rid of most of the hair." Kirishima reminded her. "That would have been a real problem if I tried to go one on one with her."
"Let us leave the celebrations for later. Mina, keep the villain from moving and let us move to help the others." Tokoyami said.
"Oh right. Acid Prison!" Mina shot out some non-corrosive acid onto Slice, before making it harden to keep her from moving.
"That should keep her there while we wrap up!" Toru said confidently. "Now let's go!"
Back with Momo.
Momo rode her motorcycle through the forest, with Katsuma on her back and Mahoro holding onto her waist.
"Call Oracle," Momo ordered her cowl.
"Error. Local communications are down." Her cowls hud said. "Switch to private Justice League communications?"
"Yes," Momo said. They must have taken out the cell phone towers. That probably means that there is more than one of them then. Unless he has a self-duplication quirk.
"Momo what is it? What's going on?" Melissa asked on the other end.
"Villains. Most likely more than one but I can't tell." Momo said. "One of them has multiple quirks and is extremely powerful. He seems to be after two children, I've managed to escape with the children for now but I need back up!"
"I'm sending the League immediately, but Mirio, Tensei and Bakugo are the only ones who will take less than an hour to get there," Melissa said. "Try to hold out until then."
"Please hurry, I don't know how long it'll take for him to-" Then Momo was suddenly hit by one of the blue dragons popping up out of nowhere in front of her.
"AHH!" All three of them were knocked off the Motorcycle and onto the ground.
"Ah," Momo grunted in pain as she pulled herself up.
The two children fell onto the ground a few feet behind her, and the dragon moved to try and get Katsuma.
Momo looked at the direction where the dragon was coming from and found that it had come out of some kind of portal.
Momo threw a batarang at the base of the dragon, which exploded, causing the dragon to crumble and dissipate.
Momo immediately went and grabbed the two children, who were now unconscious from the crash. While the portal the dragon came out of closed.
He has a portal quirk as well. That is really bad. Momo thought. "Cowl, activate detective mode and notify me of any sudden openings in space."
Suddenly everything went blue, and Momo could see past the rocks and trees and focus on her enemy and his actions.
She could see Nine's skeleton standing a few feet away from them, not moving towards them.
He must be planning on using his portals to fight me. If I had to guess his next move will be to use his lasers. But he seems hesitant to use multiple quirks at once. Perhaps there is a drawback? Momo thought.
"Opening detected." Her cowl's hud said.
Momo looked around quickly and saw a portal to her left.
She moved out of the way just in time as a laser shot out of the portal.
"Two openings detected."
Momo saw two more portals open up and dodged out of their path as more lasers came out of them.
"Openings closed. Ten openings detected."
Nine shot out lasers from all his fingers through the portals, making Momo jump and dodge multiple times.
For the next few minutes, Nine just kept opening portals and shooting lasers out of them while Momo dodged with the two children under her arms.
After a while, Nine started getting massively irritated. At this point being conservative with her will end up with me using more energy than if I had gone all out. Using this quirk for any extended period of time will cost me. But hopefully, I can kill her and get to the boy fast.
Nine then activated another one of his quirks and power-filled his body.
He dashed over to Momo and grabbed the boy out of her arm so fast she couldn't even react.
He then backhanded Momo, sending her flying through several trees.
"Enough of this." Nine grabbed the boy by the face. "Finally. My dream can be realized."
He activated All for one, and he could feel the boy's quirk start to enter him.
And then it was gone.
"What!?" Nine shouted.
A red blur had gone by and snatched the boy out of his hand before he could finish the transfer.
He looked in the direction the blur went in and saw Tensei Iida holding the child, standing next to where Momo had landed.
"Batwoman? You still conscious?" He asked.
Tensei Iida aka Flash. Quirk: Speed Force Engine. After being captured and experimented on by Bane, Tensei's quirk has changed and evolved significantly. Allowing him to move at speeds faster than anything else on earth. The more he runs, the faster he goes.
"The Flash!? Was he on this Island as well?" Nine pondered. "No, if he was he would have been here faster. Did Chimera take out the communications...no matter, I must take the boy soon before the rest of the Justice League gets here."
Momo got up to her feet and shook her head to regain her senses. "I'm fine. Get the kids out of here, I'll hold him off."
"No need," Tensei said. "I bought company."
Nine aimed his finger at Tensei's legs, hoping to get a quick hit in on him, when he was blindsided by a strong hit to the face, sending him flying through multiple trees.
"POWER!"
So yeah that was the chapter.
1A is significantly stronger now as pro heroes then they were as first years so that's why they are able to handle Nine's allies easier.
And many of the J.L. members have undergone some changes so get ready for that.
