Chapter 24: Attack On I-Island

_Izuku's POV_

"So, how's the new heart?" Ranger asked his best client.

"Somehow I feel more energized." Izuku replied.

"Considering that it's from some 20 something year old who tried to find the secret to immortality and tested it by jamming a railroad spike through his brain, proving his theory wrong." Ranger explained.

"That's not going to make me an idiot, is it?" Izuku asked in fear.

"You got his heart, not his brain." Ranger began explaining, "Also, I don't think it works that way."

"Good to know." Izuku began, "At least the surgeon avoided my tattoo."

"What does that rose tattoo even mean?" Ranger asked.

"It represents everything I love." Izuku explained, "It's also a reference to the Dropkick Murphrys song."

"I thought it was about Ruby. Seeing as her name is Rose and she leaves rose petals behind when using her quirk." Ranger explained.

"How come you refer to Ruby by her first name?" Izuku asked in curiosity.

"It's an American thing." Ranger explained, "You know you can call me Rob or Robin by the way."

"Got it." Izuku replied, "Should I wear a suit tonight or would some dress slacks and a collared shirt be enough?"

"It should be fine, maybe throw in a tie." Ranger replied, "By the way, I got a new upgrade to your leg I had installed while you were out after your surgery. It's a small jet boost that can act like a super or double jump from a video game."

"Cool" Izuku replied while going up to his room.

_Hours Later_

"So, who are we waiting for now?" Yang asked.

"Just Izuku and Robin." Ruby replied.

"You seem awfully close to Ranger lately." Blake pointed out.

"It's because he's been modifying my Crescent Rose and Izuku's legs." Ruby explained.

"Got it." Yang replied, "About time they got here."

"Sorry we're late." Ranger explained.

"S'ok." Jiro replied before the alarm went off.

"The fuck is that?" Izuku asked.

"Someone's breached security." Melisa explained while looking into the room where the other guests were, "Looks like they're led by the guy with bull horns and mask and the huge guy in the white trench coat."

"What should we do?" Izuku asked.

"Get to the security room and release the security protocols." Melisa replied, "It's on the top floor."

"What are we looking at for security?" Izuku asked.

"Mostly drones and security bots." Melisa replied.

"Ok, and how many ways up to the top floor?" Izuku asked.

"There's a way on both the north and south side of the tower." Melisa informed the group.

"Ok, your going with Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Blake and Ochaco on the south side." Izuku informed the group, "Me, Ranger, Momo, Jiro and Iida will go on the north side and make as much noise as we can to keep security off you. That work for you?"

"It'll work." Ruby replied, "Just be careful. All of you."

"We will." Izuku replied, taking his group to the north side of the building.

_Ruby's POV_

"So, Blake." Yang began while they were making their way up the building, "You seemed to tense up at the mention of the guy with bull horns, why is that?"

"It's nothing." Blake replied, "Just an unpleasant memory."

"Stay focused." Weiss said to the two, "We got to focus on the job."

"Got it captain" Yang replied.

"What are the chances of getting out of this without anything going wrong?" Ochaco asked.

"Considering this plan was made by a guy who, if his stories are true, killed a voodoo priest, fought a villain with a muscular enhancement quirk, roasted a mafia boss alive and fought demons in hell, it could work." Melisa explained.

"What was the last one?" Blake asked in shock.

"Not the time." Weiss and Ruby replied at the same time.

"Is that Todoroki and Kirishima?" Yang asked in shock, "This is the 80th floor, how did they get here?"

"You guys wouldn't happen to know where reception is, do you?" Kirishima asked, completely unaware of what was going on.

"You are aware that we're under attack by terrorists right?" Blake asked.

"I thought something was up with the lack of people and all the alarm sounds." Kirishima replied, "I thought it was a fire drill or something."

"This is troubling." Shoto responded, "What's the plan?"

"Izuku, Robin, Momo, Jiro and Iida are going up the north side and drawing all the attention while we go up the south side." Ruby explained to the two.

"Sounds like a good plan." Kirishima replied, "You want us for backup in case there's anyone watching the south side?"

"It could help to have them with us." Weiss responded, "We have about 120 floors left."

"Any Idea how they're doing on the north side?" Yang asked.

_Izuku's POV_

"Why are there so many bots?" Izuku asked in exhaustion.

"Maybe you shouldn't have been fighting robots so soon after heart surgery." Jiro deadpanned.

"Ok, I hacked into the door mechanism and there is a way to bypass the door but it's in the security office on the top floor." Ranger informed everyone, "However there is a way up there, but it requires someone to take a ladder on the side of the building all the way up, so, who wants to climb?"

"I would but I need to rest for a few." Izuku replied while trying to catch his breath.

"I would but it would be better for me to stay here while Midoriya is out of commission." Iida explained.

"Got it." Ranger replied, "I'll do it but you need to tell the others about this development." Ranger replied while heading towards the service ladder, "Fuck I hate high places."

At this point Izuku pulled out his phone and called Ruby to let her know what was going on.

_Ruby's POV_

"Ok, Izuku just sent me a message that access is blocked after floor 100." Ruby informed the rest of the group.

"How are we going to get through this?" Weiss asked.

"Izuku said Robin is climbing the outside service ladder to get to the security room to unlock the doors and turn off the security protocols." Ruby explained.

"That's good right?" Kirishima asked.

"It will tip off the bad guys that somethings up and they might head up to the security room as soon as the security is released." Melisa explained.

"That's bad right?" Kirishima asked, "It's bad."

"Todoroki I need you to get to the elevators and melt the cables. The cars will be on the bottom floor so they will have to take the stairs." Weiss commanded.

"Got it." Shoto replied, "Kirishima, I could use your help to open the elevator doors."

"On it." Kirishima responded as they went to the elevators.

"We should get the others in on this." Blake informed the group.

"I'll text Izuku." Ruby replied.

_Ranger's POV_

"Whoever decided to place a service ladder on the side of the building should be shot." Ranger complained to himself.

"Finally at the top." Ranger said before finding out the hatch was locked, "WHO THE FUCKS IDEA WAS IT TO LOCK THIS THING FROM THE INSIDE?"

Ranger grumbled as he began to work on picking the lock with one hand while holding onto the ladder with the other.

"Finally!" Ranger said when he finally unlocked it and crawled through the hatch, closing it behind him,

"Ok, time to open the doors and turn the security off." Ranger said to himself as he began working on his task.

"And there it goes. Doors open and security is off." Ranger said, not noticing the figure sneaking up on him.

"Too bad this is where it ends for you." a man with bull horns said while holding a sword to his back.

_Izuku's POV_

"About time we made it to the 200th floor." Izuku said as they ran into Ruby's group in front of the security room.

"What's going on?" Jiro asked when she saw the nervous looks on their faces.

"One of the terrorists is in there with him." Blake informed the others, "It sounds like he's making his big villain speech before killing him."

"Fuck this, I'm going in there." Izuku said while igniting his hands.

At this point Izuku interrupted the terrorist who was trying to cut off Ranger's head but due to Izuku interrupting he lost his balance and only cutting the support student's arm off.

"MY FUCKING ARM YOU BULL HEADED TWAT!" Ranger yelled while grabbing the gun he took from a fallen security bot and opening fire on the terrorist, hitting him in the leg with one shot.

"You alright." Izuku asked while the others pursued the terrorist.

"Just help me tie off the stump." Ranger replied while handing Izuku his belt.

"Ok, that stopped the bleeding for now." Izuku said after securing the belt.

"Let's kill this son of a bitch." Ranger replied while holding his gun up and the two followed the trail of blood.

"Don't come any closer." the terrorist said while holding Ruby partially out the window, "Or the pavement below is going to get a real disgusting paint job."

"Let her go!" Izuku said in the most threatening voice he could.

"Ok." the terrorist replied with a psychotic smile while letting Ruby go, causing her to fall and Izuku to push past him and jump out after her.

'Angel powers don't fail me now.' Izuku thought to himself as he dived towards Ruby, who was flailing in an attempt to slow her fall.

"I got you." Izuku said as he caught her and spread his wings from his back to slow the fall to a gentle glide.

"How are you doing this?" Ruby asked at the sight of Izuku's angel wings.

"Angel powers." Izuku replied, "A parting gift from Satan for helping stop that demon uprising."

"Is Robin ok?" Ruby asked in fear.

"He'll be fine, we managed to stop the bleeding." Izuku explained as they landed, causing his wings to disappear.

"Thanks for saving me there." Ruby said with her face planted in Izuku's chest.

"I would never let you die." Izuku said while rubbing her back, "I love you Ruby Rose."

"And I love you Izuku Midoriya." Ruby replied.

_Hours Later_

"So, they should be able to track the terrorist who got away." Izuku said to his girlfriend.

"What about the other guy?" Ruby asked.

"They got him. All Might and Mercury beat him to a pulp." Izuku explained.

"And Robin?" Ruby asked in fear.

"He's getting a robot arm made by David Shield to replace the one that got cut off." Izuku explained, "Hey I got the feeling you want to say something to me."

"I do." Ruby replied.

"What is it?" Izuku asked, "You can tell me anything."

"I want you to promise that if there is anything bad happening then I want you to tell me, not run off without telling anyone." Ruby began with tears in her eyes, "When you left it hurt that you didn't think to tell me what was going on."

"I'll admit, that was a dick move." Izuku began, "I promise to tell you anything and I'm sorry for not telling you what was wrong."

"Apology accepted, now let's get to sleep." Ruby began, "After climbing 200 floors and nearly dying, I'm ready to pass out."

"Honestly that sounds amazing right now." Izuku replied while picking her up in a bridal carry and taking her back to the hotel.
