I'm back and the story isn't dead. I apologize for the month long wait but I have reasons, one I had this chapter ready about a day after I finished the previous one but then felt it wasn't good as it had inconsistencies and like drama was being made for the sake of drama so I started from scratch and then the problem came with how I wanted to handle it. Because as those who read the first version of this story will see how different this section of the story is from the first one and originally it was suppose to go like the first version but then it got me changing and rewriting various segments of the story along with changing the dialogue and plans so ultimately it was a lot of rewriting and also procrastination as writers block took over and made it difficult writing certain sections but now it is done and I hope that you all enjoy it. Also thanks to Anime Insaniac for Beta reading as with them the quality of the story has increased and speaking of which holy crap we are past the half way mark to a 1k favorites, again thanks for all the support and don't fear anyone I am not abandoning this story I will finish to the end and we'll be getting to the arc I've been waiting to do for a while and that's the sport festival arc. With that said on to the reviews.
keyblade master cole: Trust me you'll be surprised.
Shadow Joestar: Oh definitely.
NinjaFang1331: Actually this chapter is the climax and quite a heavy one to boot but thank you.
Fictionelement777: Trust me I'm itching as well but your patience will be rewarded soon enough.
RebellionRose: Thank You
King: If you like that I hope you like this.
darkpaladin89: Yeah don't like it, yeah the idea of succumbing does make it worrying, and of yeah it's about to get worse.
NazgulBelserion: Regardless Thank you for taking time to read the story and for your criticism.
Kahjj: Thanks, that's what I tried to make a balance and it is difficult sometimes but it works out. As for the lineage I have several reasons, one while I could've made it like Jax or even Sonja, most of the stories mostly have done that in some sort of variation with Izuku using gear and tactical mind and while I'm not saying it's bad as I really enjoy those kinds of stories, I wanted to try something different. As for why I chose Scorpion and Sub-Zero is because both Izuku's parents could be interpreted as a vary minute version of their powers as Hisashi is said to breath fire while Inko doesn't shoot ice, she has a form of telekinesis to move small ovjects which goes with cryokinesis so I though why not use that as a basis and say that through evolution of quirks it minimize the powers of subzero and scorpion to how they can only use those basic forms and thought it would add more to the story. Also on a side note that I found out as I was writing the story was that the voice actor of Endeavor is Patrick Seitz the guy who voiced several characters like Dio, Jiren, and Scorpion so I found it fitting.
Tdog Smith: Oh I will sorry it took a while but I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Again thank you all for the support and without further delay onto the story.

Chapter 18: Brutality and Fatality
"MINNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
The class of 1-A heard their silver-haired classmate yell from the top of her lungs before they felt the ground under them shake with a sickening crunching sound echoing throughout the area followed by the screams of pain. The first to react was Izuku who they saw turn towards the Central Plaza as his eyes expanded to the size of saucers and went rigid. The screams and sound of bones snapping continued to be heard as the class saw tears forming on the face of the silverette. Ojiro and Kirishima both walked up to her.
"Hagakure, why did you yell out for Mina, what happened to... no..." the redhead wasn't able to finish his sentence as he looked at what she had kept her focus and came to a sight that made his blood run cold. Ojiro saw this and he too follow their sight and horror could be seen in his face as he saw the outcome of Izuku's vision finally come to fruition, one that both he and the greenette tried desperately to stop. He saw the Nomu currently mauling, beating, and torturing their pink curly-haired friend.
The rest of 1-A looked at the sudden silence from the group and all soon saw as well the gruesome sight of their classmate. Some shared the same reactions as Ojiro and Kirishima while others were losing the content of their stomach, or close to breaking down from seeing their classmate being mauled in the same manner as their professor. The screams of Ashido and the crunching and squishing of bones and flesh sounded as they saw the Nomu tearing into the Pinkette's stomach with pieces of flesh flying with every slash.
They saw Mina trying to defend herself, attempting to spray acid onto the creature. The attack did land but it would proved to be for naught as it slammed a fist onto her head as they saw her blue-green blood paint the ground. A snap was heard as they saw one of her horns fly off and the Nomu grabbed onto the hand of the Pinkette with both of its claws before ripping it clean off from her left arm, leaving behind a gushing stump as it threw her hand away.
For Ashido, she felt every bone, every muscle, every slash, and every pummel destroy her body by the second. It got to the point where she couldn't distinguish if the waves of pain she was feeling were from the first attacks or were the new ones.
As her beat down continued, her mind was being flooded with various thoughts, wondering if this was truly how she was going to die, at the hands of a Villain with no one able to rescue her. The thought of her death was scaring her as she felt her right arm snap and she felt a cold sensation on the arm that broke and saw that her bone was exposed. She didn't want to die, she wished she could've seen her parents, her family, to tell Tooru to stay strong but she couldn't, the two of them suffered together and now... her best friend was going to suffer alone because of her...
Then the creature stopped for a moment as it dragged her right leg and grabbed her by her broken right arm. She was lifted into the air and that moment brought her a small bit of relief from the pain she had to endure through. That wouldn't last as she was then brought down with great force as she was bent over the Nomu's knee her lower back breaking with an audible snap. She tried to scream in utter pain but only coughed out more blood as her mouth was left agasp, no longer feeling anything from the waist down anymore. She now felt as if all life in her was finally being yanked out of her as her stump of an arm slumped to her side and she went limp on the Nomu's hands.
"GRRHHAAAAAA!" The class slowly broke out of their stupor as they heard both Kirishima and Hagakure screaming in rage and anger evident as they prepared to spring themselves towards the Nomu and save their friend. However, the two were halted as Ojiro grabbed onto the once invisible girl tightly and both Sero and Sato to hold onto the hardening user. Both Hagakure and Kirishima tried to pry themselves free from their hold with the redhead activating his quirk and trying to force his way out and the silverette elbowing the tail user but their holders proved resilient to their attempts.
"BOTH OF YOU, STOP!" Ojiro yelled.
"WE HAVE TO SAVE HER! SHE'S BEING KILLED!" Hagakure yelled.
"LET ME GO! WE HAVE TO HELP HER!" Kirishima yelled.
"YOU'LL BOTH BE KILLED IF YOU GO!" Sero yelled as he tried tapping up the redhead but was proving difficult.
"I DON'T CARE! I WON'T LET HER DIE!" The redhead yelled back as he continued to try and pry himself free until he felt a good punch hit him in the side of his head along with heat which thanks to his quirk it didn't hurt him but still he could feel it. Kirishima turned to face the attacker which turned out to be the residential dynamite.
"NO ONE WILL DIE! WE CAN'T SAVE RACOON EYES IF WE HAVE TO SAVE BOTH YOUR ASSES IN THE PROCESS!" Bakugo yelled and this got the redhead to pause his movements so that Sero and Sato had a better grip on him.
"Bakugo's right. We have to save Mina but we can't do that if we just go in without some sort of plan." Ojiro said.
"THEN HOW DO WE SAVE HER MASHIRAO?!" Hagakure yelled to the tail user.
Ojiro saw the anger in her eyes as he tried to have some sort of answer ready for her but each time he opened his mouth, no words would come out. He had difficulty in trying to find a solution where they could save Ashido without anyone else getting caught in the crossfire.
"I... I don't know..." Ojiro said grimly as he kept restraining the once invisible girl, however, no one seemed to have noticed the absence of a curly green-haired young man. Down at the Central Plaza, the Nomu was holding up the broken body of the pink brat by the one arm as Shigaraki would look at the injured student with disinterest.
"How unfortunate... it seems like you broke your new toy, Nomu..." Shigaraki said with an uninterested tone. He then looked up at the top of the staircase and saw the look of terror, disgust, sadness, and anger in the faces of the brats and couldn't help himself but smirk at the sight.
"That should get the message across. It's time to dispose of this mess and g-"
*Shank*
"AHHH!" Shigaraki heard a puff sound followed by the scream of Kurogiri as there was a thud a moment later. He looked back to see the same green-haired brat standing over Kurogiri who was being pierced by the same blade from earlier in his abdomen. The greenette looked directly at him and what Shigaraki saw in his eyes. All he could feel from them was rage, unrelenting and unhinged rage as the Hero-In-Training pulled out the blade weapon from the mist Villain.
"THIS IS FOR MINA!" Izuku yelled as he reeled back his Kunai and was ready to pierce the hand Villain and finally incapacitated him to the point where he wouldn't be able to stand or move on his own. He had pierced the eyes of the Nomu to blind it from following its masters orders before moving to Kurogiri and he would've given Kurogiri the same treatment but right now, he had a more important target in mind as he thrust his Kunai forward.
*Clank*
However just as he was about a few feet from Shigaraki, he felt a gale hit him from the side as his Kunai made contact with the Nomu and just stood there. His weapon didn't pierce or even appear to have done anything as the Nomu took his attack as if it was nothing, as it was holding Ashido in one of its clawed hands. Not only that, he saw it's eyes slowly reforming.
"H-how!?" Midoriya said in confusion as to why the Nomu didn't react.
"Because Nomu has Shock Absorption and Regeneration. Hit him as much as you want, but your attacks will just be absorbed by him and even if you did get a piece of him it will just regenerate it back, brat. Now Nomu, finish th-."
*Crash*
The entirety of the zone shook as the doors of the U.S.J building burst from their hinges as dust and wind pushed the students of 1-A with many shielding themselves from the gale.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" Bakugo yelled out as the dust cloud was beginning to dissipate.
"Have no fear students-" the class heard the booming voice that they recognized very well as they saw the tall muscular figure of their professor, the Symbol of Peace, All Might stepping out of the dust cloud as he ripped his tie off and threw it aside.
"I AM HERE!" All Might announce as many of the students were silent without expressing much as a wave of relief washed all over them with several of the members looking close tears of joy as the Symbol of Peace finally came to rescue them from the Hell that they were placed in. Bakugo was looking at the number one Hero with awe at his arrival but something he noticed was that he did not have his usual smile that he radiated to the world. Instead, it was replaced with a scowl and he could feel the unbridled rage behind it.
"It appears that All Might has arrived." Kurogiri said with Shigaraki tilting his head.
"Indeed, the Final Boss finally appeared... might as well give him a shot while we're here..." Shigaraki said as he hid his excitement at finally having what he wanted after much delay as he felt the side of his head pulse in pain.
'All... Might...' Ashido thought as she was slipping little by little into unconsciousness as the loss of blood was making her quite dizzy. All Might looked at all his students as he saw the condition that many of them were in. Then his sight fell on the two injured professors, he gritted his teeth in contained anger and frustration for not having been here sooner.
"Aizawa... Thirteen..." All Might said as he looked at the Villains that were down at the Central Plaza and felt his blood boil when he saw that two of his students were in the Villains clutches with Young Ashido looking bloodied, disfigured, and being held up as if they were some carcass.
"How... Dare... You!" All Might growled in anger and the next thing anyone knew the Symbol of Peace was no longer next to them. They felt a gust of wind flow past them as they saw Shigaraki and Kurogiri were both thrown to the ground from the shockwave caused by All Might. The mist Villain landed on the ground with a shout of pain. With the hand Villain, his face-hand managed to loosen its grip and fall. Confused, Shigaraki tried to pick himself up as he also saw that Nomu was pushed back a few feet, and more importantly, their subject was no longer on its clutches. He looked directly in front of him and saw the Symbol of Peace standing close to the staircase and holding onto the body of the pink brat with the green brat next to All Might
"Young Ashido, please forgive me. You'll be taken care of." All Might said, his rage at an all-time high as he looked at the state they left his student, it was horrendous what they did to her, none of his students or anyone should be subjugated to this kind of treatment. He turned towards young Izuku who remained silent and unresponsive without much in expression but could see that he was looking back at the Villains they were being held by.
"Young Midoriya, you're both safe now. Please take Young Ashido with you to the others and keep each other safe." He said. He didn't get a response from the greenette who remained silent, just looking at the group of Villains without much emotion which made him worried about the greenette's condition.
"Shock Absorption. Regeneration."
"Pardon me?" All Might asked as Midoriya pulled down his mask.
"That beast's quirks, Shigaraki said they were Shock Absorption and Regeneration, use that to your advantage, All Might." Izuku said using that small moment to use his analysis to at least make sure that if anyone needed that information to finally end this Hell, it was All Might. The Symbol of Peace looked back at the Villains before returning to Izuku.
"Understood, now please bring Young Ashido to safety. Leave the rest to me now." All Might said as he gently handed the Pinkette to the waiting arms of the greenette who got a grip of the Pinkette getting a groan of pain from her for a moment before the Symbol of Peace left to confront the Villains.
As All Might continued, he took note of the several bodies of Villains that were sprawled on the ground. Many appeared to have been knocked out in which he figured were from Aizawa judging by the method of submission. His eyes then went towards the three other Villains, more specifically at the two next to the creature as he took in their condition. The one with the purple mist was limping on one broken knee and had blood running down one of his shoulders, along with the metal collar around his neck being bent as if it was almost crushed by someone's grip. As for the hand Villain, he could see that they were bleeding from the side of their head along with blood trickling down his arms. It made him look with concern, not at the Villains but rather at who it was that gave them those injuries. He had a feeling about the culprit but didn't want to think on that as he took his step towards the Villains.
As for Izuku, he remained standing in place, holding onto his pink-haired friend and looking down at her broken body. He didn't know how to feel at that moment, he was experiencing so many emotions and yet felt an empty pit within his core, he just didn't know what to call it.
"Mina... I'm sorry... it's my fault... I should've prevented it..." he whimpered out with an empty tone once more, he failed in saving someone even when he could've.
"I... zu..." The greenette heard the words of the Pinkette who appeared to be confused at what he was saying and was followed by her coughing out blood. Izuku used Flame-Port without responding as he got both of them to safety.
The class of 1-A saw the smoke and embers that were associated with their green-haired classmate as he appeared with Mina in his arms. The class looked at the two with varying emotions that ranged from shock, rage, and sadness from the state their pink-haired friend was left in as they saw her blood drip onto the ground beneath them.
'By the Elder Gods... why!?' Ojiro though as he clenched his fist in frustration in not having been able to do anything to prevent this outcome from happening to his friend.
"Mina..." Hagakure said as she approached and reached out a hand to her pink friend before halting herself as if in fear that the slightest amount of pressure she does will break her friend even further.
"Those Villains... how could they!" Kirishima said in anger at the state Mina was in.
"Ojiro, Momo, follow me." The students heard the greenette said as he began to make his way towards their professors as the tail user and the ravenette made their way to the side of the greenette.
"What do you need us to do Izuku?" Momo asked with worry, noticing his stoic self as Izuku continued walking forward without looking at her.
"I need you two to save Mina. Ojiro knows the properties of the Jinsei so he should be able to make sure it's properly used on Mina. You will help Ojiro in the process like how you and Kyouka did to me with Black." Izuku ordered as he laid down the Pinkette close to their professors who both, despite their injuries, could only feel a sense of failure in themselves for having more of their students suffer and not being able to do anything about it.
"Midoriya, I know you said to use the Jinsei on Aizawa-sensei, but the Jinsei's effect work depending on the injuries. Your injuries nearly brought you to death so the whole vial was used to save you and that will be the case for Mina. So we won't be able to use any on Mr.-"
"Use it on her." The trio heard the Nocturnal Hero say through a raspy voice.
"I'll survive, she won't if you don't use it... you're all my students... none of you deserve to die before any of us Heroes..." Aizawa said as a memory from a distant past flashed in his mind. The tail-user gave a nod to the order before looking back at the greenette.
"Alright, I'll do the best I can, Midoriya." Ojiro said as Midoriya began to walk away from the two towards the staircase, not giving a response to the two. Ojiro look at him with concern as to what must have been going in his head due to the visions and Momo was worried as well, knowing the toll this had on him but they could not do anything now, All Might arrived and soon the other heroes would as well. Taking a deep breath, the two began with saving their pink friend.
As for Izuku, he walked past his classmates without uttering or saying anything which worries them. As for Bakugo, he just looked at the greenette with some though and for some reason which he couldn't describe, there was an overwhelming sensation coming from him, something unsettling that he couldn't describe, he knew something was wrong, but he didn't know what. Midoriya arrived at the edge of the staircase as he looked down at All Might and the Villains, he could hear them talking about how the Symbol of Peace was using violence to subdue them and that it was hypocritical but All Might pushed past Shigaraki's manipulation.
"Midoriya, we need to talk." Liang said but the greenette didn't respond.
"Izuku, if you aren't going respond at least listen." Hanzo said, his tone leaving no room for debate.
Izuku just continued watching the confrontation between the Villains and All Might who currently delivered a Carolina Smash onto the Nomu.
"We know what your intentions were when you went down there towards Shigaraki. Don't think we didn't notice." Liang said.
'I was only going to subdue hi-'
"Izuku, don't take us for fools! We know what you were planning to do!" Hanzo snapped back.
The greenette didn't flinch as he heard the inhale of his Grandmasters.
"Midoriya, we have seen that look you had towards Shigaraki. Trust us, we have seen as well as felt that feeling throughout our years of Kombat so do not think for a moment that you were not intending on-"
'Intending on what?! Not subduing him and ensuring that my friend doesn't die?! That to make sure others do not suffer what he has brought upon us?! That he can just be captured, thrown into a cell, and later cause more havoc?! He has caused too much pain for all of my friends and I wasn't going to let him go without him needing to pay!' Izuku yelled back in his thoughts.
"That is not for you to decide on! Midoriya, we have talked to you countless times that you cannot let Hellfire influence you otherwise you'll be walking a path that will lead you to nothing but suffering!" Liang said back.
'*Sigh* Look I'm sorry alright! There's been so much happening and I just want something to turn outright. Every time I had a vision so far has resulted in it coming to fruition despite me having tried to stop it from happening. I couldn't stop Aizawa-sensei from being hurt, I couldn't stop Tsuyu from being in danger, and I couldn't stop the Nomu from attacking Mina!' Izuku said with anger as he just wanted to find some solace in something.
"We understand your frustrations, Izuku. However, don't just look at what happened but rather what you were able to do. You were able to rescue your professor from further harm, you were able to save your friend Tsuyu from certain death, and your friend Mina is getting help and the Jinsei is to be used on her so she will make it Izuku.' Hanzo reassured his student.
Izuku tried to take in his words and tried to make him feel as though despite it all there was still some good he was able to do but he just couldn't help but feel guilty about it all. In another part of the U.S.J Entrance, Ojiro and Yaoyorozu were doing their best to keep Ashido alive and stable to use the Jinsei. Overall the two had blue-green blood on their hands and costumes as the tail-user managed to readjust the Pinkette's broken arm back in place.
"Ok, that should do it. Just hang on a bit longer, Mina." Ojiro said as he grabbed the Jinsei and pressed the top of the vial as a needle protruded from the bottom.
"This will hurt but it'll only be for a moment, Mina. Yaoyorozu hold her down." Ojiro said as the ravenette followed suit in preparation for the expected thrashing as the tail-user would hover the Jinsei over Ashido's heart.
*Shank*
Ojiro injected the Jinsei as the blue substance flowed onto Ashido as she released a pained grunt out of her as she thrashed a bit but was successfully held down by Yaoyorozu as the Pinkette began to settle down.
"Ok, that should do. Just let her rest and let the Jinsei work." Ojiro said as he released a breath he didn't know he was holding. As he looked at Yaoyorozu, he noticed how she was staring absentmindedly at Mina, more specifically the stump that is her hand which had yet to heal. He didn't know why but he had an off feeling about the ravenette especially when he saw her lick her lips and swore that he was seeing her eyes flashing a tinge of orange.
"Ehh... Yaoyorozu?" He called out which seemed to have brought her out of her thinking.
"Huh? I'm sorry Ojiro something wrong?" She asked as he was going to ask but just decided to drop it thinking it was just the stress of the day getting to him.
"Ojiro if I may ask?" The tail-user looked at the ravenette in confusion.
"About?"
"Well, it's two questions. The first is why is the Jinsei not working healing Mina as fast as it did Izuku?" She asked as Ojiro looked at the Pinkette and while he hasn't seen the Jinsei work in person due to restrictions in the temple, he had a general idea of how it worked.
"Well, the thing about Jinsei is that it works depending on the individual. If the injury is life-threatening than the entire vial is used but if it's something like a broken limb than about half a vial. There are other factors as well such as if the individual has healing abilities like Midoriya which when in conjunction with the Jinsei, you speed up his recovery. From what Midoriya told me, Mina has some healing ability but not to the extent of Midoriya and with the number of injuries she sustained from losing her hand and various amount of tissue compared to Midoriya who was just impaled, it'll take her some time to recover even with the Jinsei."
"What about her hand?"
"Unfortunately, the restoration of lost limbs can't be done. Healing doesn't regenerate the loss of complete limbs..." Ojiro said in a hollow tone as he felt guilty for not having prevented Mina from facing this fate.
"I shouldn't have let her go..." Ojiro heard the ravenette mutter under her breath.
"What did you say?"
"If I didn't let my nerves get the better of me, she wouldn't have been injured and-"
"Yaoyorozu, don't blame yourself for something that has happened. For now, we just have to hope that the Jinsei can do its work and hope she will recover..." Ojiro said in a sad tone as he felt her guilt, that they should've done something to prevent what transpired and the tail-user felt guilt for not having done more.
"Actually Ojiro, that brings me to my next question?" Which raised an eye from the tail-user.
"What do you know about these realms?" She asked as the tail-user was taken back a bit.
"W-what?"
"When me and Kyouka were being rescued, the Tarkatan, the Black Dragons, and Black talked to Izuku about other realms and the relationship between them."
"But why would you ask me about that?"
"Because, aside from Izuku and Todoroki, you seem to know a lot about these things, to the point where you and Izuku have been secretive with your talks and while I understand that Izuku and Todoroki rather keep secrets about their clans, why has Izuku only talked to you and not Todoroki?" Yaoyorozu asked, getting the tail-user to take a moment as he didn't take into account that some suspicion would be raised between him and Midoriya about the events of today but what could he have expected from one of the two recommended students. He was about to open his mouth to answer or at least to try and steer the conversation to some other direction but would be interrupted.
"I'll explain everything soon Momo, once all of this is over I will explain, I promise." They heard Izuku say as he was standing over them which made them wonder how long was he there.
"I came to check on Mina when I heard you talk. I know that a lot of things don't make sense but I'll explain everything." Izuku said in a flat tone as he left once more before he got a response from the two as he went to look over the battle between All Might and the Villains. He continued looking at the ensuing battle between All Might and the Nomu but then there was something that caught his eye as he was looking down at Shigaraki. He saw a stream of blue like particles appear on the side of Shigaraki that out came the form of Kuroi who appeared all pretty much healed with the exception being the white gauze that appeared bloodied in his right eye.
Central Plaza
"You! I thought you and that gang of yours were going to take care of those brats!" Shigaraki yelled at the Black Dragon member as he clutched his right eye in pain.
"Not so loud there mate." Kuroi said with annoyance which didn't seem to appease the hand Villain whose patience had run out with the incompetence of the cannon fodder.
"Look everythin' was under control but that green-haired cunt and those traitors fucked everythin' up!" Kuroi said as Shigaraki looked at him with murderous intent.
"I should just kill you right now for your group's incompetence at not being able to take out some snot-nosed brats!"
"Fuckin' try mate. Remember that the boss wants me to return alive. There's still business that he needs from me so if you intend to kill me for giggles that will just be puttin' you in deeper shit." Kuroi shot back with cockiness. This angered Shigaraki but he knew that Kuroi was right and that he couldn't do anything. As this was happening, Kuroi took notice of a gun, a revolver to be precise, laying down on the floor next to the puddle of blood by them.
"Well, what do we have here?" The Black Dragon member said as he picked the weapon and inspected it.
"It may have been dropped in when we captured that pink student." Kurogiri said on the ground as he was still clutching onto the wound in his abdomen as Kuroi opened the barrel to find one bullet inside which he recognizes.
"Fuckin' Black... he gave one of them bullets!" Kuroi said catching Shigaraki's attention.
"What the hell are you yapping about now?!"
"Seems like a traitor of ours wanted to give the 'Heroes' an advantage. Well... it's their loss now, I know of a better way to use it but I'll need a clear shot." Kuroi said as he raised the revolver towards the two brawling individuals as it appeared Shigaraki was telling All Might that he would have a better chance to tear the Nomu apart than beating it.
At that point, Midoriya had stopped listening as he focused on the Black Dragon member as he felt his blood boil with anger. He was let loose and right now, he had a chance, a chance to make sure Kuroi amends for what he has caused all of them. Izuku, pulling up his mask, began to summon a Kunai in his right hand and clutched the blade tightly in his right palm as it made him bleed.
"Midoriya, don't you dare do what we know you are planning to do!" Liang yelled, trying to get his descendant to stop.
'Grandmasters... here's my opportunity to take out a mistake before it gets worse, like Black said, he is one that needs to be put down...'
"That is not for you to decide Izuku! Don't do anything that you will regret, Izuku, because of this decision, this want for blood, it will bring you nothing but misery if you submit to it!" Hanzo yelled once more to get through to his descendant but it all appears to be in vain as Izuku remained unchanged from his decision.
"Deku?" Izuku heard the familiar voice of Uraraka call out for him as he looked back at her before looking back forward.
"Deku, is something wrong?" Uraraka asked with worry as she got him to look at her and when she looked him in the eyes that were being shadowed by his hair and as she saw them, rather than the green emerald eyes she has seen him have, instead she saw a kind of dullness in them, they did not radiate a kind of warmth and comforting feeling that she felt before but rather she felt discomfort at the stare he was giving, almost like he wasn't fully there. It made her remember how he looked earlier in the day when all of their classmates were taken away and what could have become of him, the thought alone made her feel nervous about her green-haired friend.
"I'm fine." Izuku said calmly as he tried turning his head but was being held in place by the still worried brunette.
"Deku, if something is wrong please say it. We are all here for each other and-"
"I SAID I'M FINE, URARAKA!" he yelled back causing Uraraka and those who were listening to flinch back as the greenette yank himself off of the brunette's grip and looked directly forward.
Jirou was confused at what was happening and why Izuku was acting differently so when she went up to them and followed his line of sight, it resulted in her getting a cold chill to run up her spine as she saw the bastard Kuroi next to the main Villains, seemingly without a single injury from his encounter with Midoriya minus the gauze over the eye. Jirou was unsettled at seeing her ex once more especially after what almost transpired but it began to make sense as to why the greenette attitude has shifted significantly.
"Izuku, whatever you are planning to do, you better not go down there and fight Kuroi. Please, All Might can handle this, you don't have to fight anyone, remember your promise, please?!" She tried desperately to get to him, to make him not do anything idiotic now that they were so close to having the day end. The two wouldn't say anything to one another for a few moments as she saw Izuku look over his shoulder to Jirou.
"I'm sorry." Izuku said in a sad tone and before anything else could be said, he used Flame-Port as a sense of dread and uneasiness fell on everyone as the Punk girl felt a weight fall on her core as she heard those words.
All Might was able to dodge the attacks of the Nomu as he took the advice from the Villain which the number one Hero knew the Villain was gloating about on their supposed victory. He dodged a clawed attack from the muscle-bound creature and grabbed it by the back as he lifted the creature off the ground, picking up dust in the process. Kurogiri and Kuroi were ready to counter-attack the 'Symbol of Peace' though that would be unraveled just as he suplex the Nomu as the same puff of smoke and embers appeared once more in front of Kurogiri and Shigaraki, surprising the two.
*Crash*
The entire area was shaken to the core as dust and debris were picked up covered everything in its surrounding.
"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!" Mineta yelled as everyone tried to keep their balance to the sudden shift.
"All Might just suplexed that creature thing." Kirishima said.
"Did it work?" Kaminari asked.
"Hard to tell, I can't see anything." Sero admitted, the area below them was still enveloped in the dust cloud, covering everything from their sight.
However, inside the cloud of dirt, Izuku was in front of both Shigaraki and Kurogiri as his right palmed glowed a white-blue as he quickly encased the Villains in Ice. Having two of his obstacles out of the way, he focused back onto Kuroi who had changed his target towards the greenette who charged at him full speed. As the Black Dragon member was about to pull the trigger, Midoriya grabbed the barrel of the gun and froze the weapon on touch, snapping the barrel and chamber of from the handle. He tackled Kuroi onto the ground and slammed the broken gun piece onto his face, breaking the piece further. All that remained in the grasp of the greenette was the shards of broken Ice and the same bullet Black gave them, surprisingly still intact. Izuku grab tightly onto the throat of the Villain as Kuroi grabbed onto his holder who only continued to tighten his grip.
"Well if it ain't the pain in me ass makin' an appearance onc-*Ugh*" Kuroi grunted as Izuku slammed his head on the ground.
"ENOUGH! HOW THE HELL DID YOU ESCAPE US, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY HOW THE HELL ARE YOU HEALED!?" Izuku yelled at the Villain. As this was going on, All Might had gotten up from his attack and began to hear the voice of Izuku close by but couldn't see him due to the debris and dust covering the area.
"Young Midoriya!" All Might said but got no response. As for the greenette, he was steeping in rage as he had his target in his grasp.
"You know what, I don't care. You've caused too much trouble, I won't be repeating the same mistake I made!" Izuku said as he heard the Villain chuckle as he let go of his grip on the greenettes hand.
"Which mistake*Gasp* the one where you didn't kill me or the one where you stopped us*Gasp* from our fun with Kyo and her sexy friend?" Kuroi taunted him as a growl of anger was heard as he summoned a Kunai and slammed it down onto the Villain as All Might tried to follow the sound.
"Young Midoriya!"
*Stab*
The silence was all that occupied the area as the greenette stood up and took a few steps away from Kuroi before he stumbled and fell to his knees.
"W-what... what did you-" Midoriya couldn't finish as he looked down at his side and noticed a dagger was embedded into him which normally wouldn't be much for him but he felt himself off like his body was heating up, almost feeling like he was burning himself from the inside, and couldn't feel his body regenerating from the attack as he saw Kuroi sat up rubbing his neck.
"Gotta hand it to ya mate, ya make this too easy." Kuroi said as he walked towards the greenette who was trying to stand up but was wobbling.
"What's happening to me..." Izuku said as the pain was quickly overtaking his body.
"Guess someone didn't do their research on what a Kamidogu is."
"Kami what?" Izuku said weakly as he fell to his knees.
"Heh, as if I would be giving that kind of information away for free, especially now that I know there's more of us." Kuroi said catching the greenette's attention.
"What?"
"I'm a criminal but I ain't a fool you cunt. I know about your bloodline, you are a descendant of your cursed clans' Grandmasters, same as me with the founder of the Black Dragons." Kuroi said as he kicked Izuku in the side of the head as he stumbled to the ground feeling the ever-burning feeling grow inside him.
"Don't you dare talk about my clan like that..." Izuku said as he fell but managed to catch himself as he looked at Kuroi.
"That explained why... you healed but that doesn't explain the eye... if you know of us, why are you siding with the Villains..." Midoriya said, trying to find some understanding to what he just heard. He found another descendant, which unfortunately turned out to be the bastard that was standing over him but also more importantly why was he fighting against them if he knew they were a descendant as well.
"We can heal but not reconstruct organs that have nothin' left so this eye is lost because of you. As for the Villains, it's all just business kid." Izuku got as a response that confused him.
"I chose to side with the ones that'll win this whole thing brat. The future is lookin' mighty fine for us Black Dragons and I ain't gonna throw that away for a cunt that seems to still be imaginin' that he'll finish this path untainted." Kuroi taunted as Izuku stood up and charged at the Villain with a right hook but missed as Izuku was grabbed by the throat tightly as the Black Dragon member pulled the blade out of Izuku as Kuroi kicked him back to the ground.
By this point, the dust had dissipated considerably and All Might was able to see Izuku was stabbed as one of the Villains kicked him in the side once more. The number one Hero seeped in rage at what he was seeing as he moved without thinking but before he could get to the two, he was suddenly shoved out of the way by the Nomu with great strength as it caused All Might to look in shock.
"Heh, glad to see that the boss made sure that the beast stops anyone from interrupting." Kuroi said as he kicked Izuku in the head once more as the greenette gasped out in pain. All Might would recover from the sudden attack and try to save his student but like before, he was intercepted by the hulking creature who kept its sights on the Symbol of Peace. With the dust not distorting their view, the class of 1-A could now see what was going on and from what they were watching, it made them regret knowing what was happening.
"IZUKU!" Hagakure yelled as she and her classmates watched Izuku being kicked down by the Black Dragon member.
"WE HAVE TO HELP HIM!" Kirishima yelled, which was echoed by various members of 1-A.
"No." A voice broke through that caught everyone's attention as they looked to the source and it turned out to be their dual haired classmate.
"I'm sorry, messier, but I think we misheard you. I thought you said that we shouldn't help Midoriya." Aoyama said as Todoroki remained stoic in his expression as they waited for him to say something but they quickly took his silence as him being serious.
"Y-you can't be for real Todoroki? I mean Midoriya helped all of us when we needed it and now we're leaving him behind when he needs it. We can go there and get him back." Kirishima said.
"May I remind you that each attempt we had in trying to recover someone from the Villains it has resulted in said Villains catching and injuring one of us. If we go to retrieve Midoriya then we will just keep sending people after another until everyone's injured or worse." Todoroki said, raising a good point. When they rescued Aizawa it resulted in Ashido getting caught, when they rescued Ashido, Izuku almost got caught the first time but inevitably got captured and injured.
"But we can't leave him behind! We're Heroes, we should be helping others!" Uraraka said in a pleading tone.
"We're Heroes-In-Training, ones who are just experiencing their first Villain attack and are out powered. We'll be killing ourselves if we go down there." Todoroki explained. This didn't sit well with many of 1-A that they couldn't help if it would just result in someone getting rescued and getting captured again.
"As much as I hate agreeing with it, he has a point." Ojiro said as he saw Hagakure grab tightly on the front of his Gi with a strength he didn't even know she had.
"SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT WE LEAVE HIM TO DIE!?" Hagakure yelled in frustration. Todoroki took notice that the silverette was emitting some very faint puffs of smoke from her arms which he made a mental note of for later.
"No, we just have to sit still until the other Pros arrive. All Might got here first so they shouldn't be too far behind. Plus, knowing Midoriya, if any of us were to go down there for him he'll just send us back before getting him out." Ojiro reasoned as the silverette tighten her grip for a moment before releasing him.
"So that's what we are all doing? Just leaving Izuku to the Villains until more Heroes arrive?!" Jirou said to which she didn't get a single response from as they all redirected their sights to somewhere else. The tail-user only grimace at the situation they were put in as he could tell many of them still wanted to save their green-haired friend. He then looked back at the still recovering Mina, who was proof of their inexperience and he knew that Midoriya wouldn't have wanted someone else to be injured trying to rescue him, they're options were limited.
Kuroi delivered one more hard kick into Izuku's side before spitting on the downed Hero-In-Training. He walked behind the greenette, grabbed a handful of his locks and raised him onto his knees as he put him in a headlock as Izuku tried to pry himself free, though with little strength in him it was proving ineffective.
"Now, I believe something needs to be done about that face of yours, you know for what you did to mine. Consider this an eye for an eye." Kuroi said as he dragged the Kamidogu blade vertically onto Izuku's right eye.
"AHHHH!" Izuku yelled in pain as Kuroi cut from the top of his eyebrow down to the bottom of his jaw as blood flowed rapidly onto the ground as the burning sensation grew exponentially and felt himself as if he was being cooked from the inside.
"YOUNG MIDORIYA!" All Might yelled as he tried once more to try and make it to his student but like before the Nomu continued to block him from interfering and what made the situation even worse what the Nomu kept repeatedly aiming for his injured stomach as he felt himself getting weaker by the moment as he felt the muscle-bound creature once more strike him in the stomach.
"DEKU!" Uraraka yelled as she felt her eyes stinging at the sight of her friend having his face carved in with a knife. Then in an instant, they heard the ignition of explosions as the area around the class of 1-A was engulfed in smoke.
"Now to make the other eye mat-"
"DIE!"
*BOOM*
"HOLY SHIT!" Kaminari yelled as the group saw the area be suddenly engulfed in smoke that had a green tint to it. Inside the smokescreen, Kuroi was forced back a few feet, causing him to lose his grip onto the greenette who slumped onto the ground clutching his face as the Kamidogu embedded itself into the ground in front of him. Izuku tried to look up through the pain as he came to view with someone he was all too familiar with, someone he was not pleased to see at the moment.
"Bakugo..." He said with venom in his voice as he looked at the explosive blonde.
"GET OFF YOUR ASS AND ON YOUR FEET, DEKU!" Bakugo yelled as he was picking up the deadweight of the greenette. Midoriya, understanding what was happening, would scramble to his feet but not before grabbing the Kamidogu blade as while he didn't know what it did, he couldn't help but feel some strong attachment to it.
"COME ON! KEEP MOVING!" Bakugo yelled grabbing tightly onto the back of Izuku's shirt as he ignited an explosion with his available hand which came to him as a surprise when the two were sent flying with a massive green-tinted explosion behind them as the class of 1-A saw the two young men shooting out of the smoke cloud and coming towards them at a high speed.
"I got them! I got them!" Sero yelled as he used his quirk to wrap his tape around his two classmates waists as he tried slowing down their descent but were coming in faster than expected.
"Ok, I don't got them! Someone catch them!" Sero yelled as the two young men were coming in fast before Kirishima managed to catch Bakugo and Uraraka managed to touch Izuku and use her quirk to slow his descent until he touched the ground.
"That was insane Bakugo!" Kirishima yelled as the explosive blonde just released himself from the redheads hold.
Back in Central Plaza, Kuroi managed to recover from the surprise attack as he was managed to see the two Heroes-In-Training escape from him as he released a growl of anger at the unexpected attack.
'Damn those brats... *Sigh* No matter.' Kuroi said as he walked up to the frozen forms of Shigaraki and Kurogiri, with a strong punch he managed to break them out of the Ice.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" Shigaraki yelled in anger as he tried getting warmth back as Kurogiri just fell to the ground shivering.
"The green cunt pulled a surprised attack on you and has currently been taken back to his classmates up there." The Black Dragon member said uninterested as Shigaraki looked back to the top of the staircase with rage.
"Alright, that is it! Kurogiri! Open up a-"
"Now I wouldn't bothar doing that Shigaraki." Kuroi said which caused the hand Villain to look at him.
"DO YOU WANT ME TO KILL YOU TOO!?" Shigaraki said with anger as the Black Dragon member released a chuckle.
"Nah, but I wouldn't waste energy on them. They'll be dead soon enough." He said which raised an eye from Shigaraki.
"What are you talking about?" Shigaraki questioned.
"Observe." Kuroi said as he waited for what is to come. At the top of the staircase, Uraraka was kneeling next to her green-haired friend as she released a sigh of relief seeing that Izuku was saved before any more harm could be caused.
"Deku, thank goodness you're safe now!" Uraraka said as she knelt next to the greenette before taking sight of his injured eye and bleeding side as his blood continued leaking into the floor.
"DON'T JUST STAND THERE YOU EXTRAS! GET THE NERD SOME HELP!" Bakugo yelled which confused them for the moment not because Izuku needed help but because the walking dynamite of a classmate is showing some worry for the first time to Izuku. Shaking that moment of confusion aside, Momo got to the side of the greenette as she saw the blood flowing from her green-haired friend, his red, crimson, alluring... Momo quickly shook her head as she had that same thought from earlier once more. The ravenette saw that while he had a laceration over his face, his eye thankfully was spared but what concerned her was the cut and stab wound.
"Something's wrong. His wounds aren't closing." She said while creating some bandages for his eye and for the stab wound in his side as she quickly bandages them over. She then heard the clank of metal hit the ground and when she looked to the source of the sound she found two things, one was the bullet that had the Nomu's name on it, though it did have some fragments of Ice on it, and a curved blade that was turquoise that was dimly glowing red and had blood on it. She reached out and took the bullet back but when she went to grab the dagger she felt something off about it but she couldn't understand what as she held it up.
"Izuku, what is this?" Yaoyorozu asked which Ojiro and Todoroki both saw as their eyes expanded widely as the tail-user dashed to her and grabbed the dagger out of her hand.
"Yaoyorozu, where did you find this?!" Ojiro said with an urgency that confused her.
"Izuku had it with him, it probably was what caused his injuries judging by the blood, why?!" Yaoyorozu said which caused a sense of dread to fall onto both Todoroki and Ojiro as she looked at the Kamidogu that was beginning to glow a more vibrant red before looking at Izuku who was crawling slowly away with faint smoke slowly coming out of his body.
"This isn't good... Stand back!" Todoroki yelled, confusing everyone as to why as they saw Izuku slowly getting back to his feet as they saw him hacking before puking into the ground blood as embers began to appear out of his arms.
"IZUKU!" Jirou yelled as she tried going to him but would be grabbed by the arm by Ojiro.
"JIROU IT'S NOT SAFE!" He yelled as Izuku continued walking with a stumble in his step, leaving behind Fire in his footprints.
"I'M BURNING!" Midoriya yelled in agonizing pain before puking more blood out as he clutched his head in pain.
"LET ME GO! HE NEEDS HELP!" Jirou yelled.
"AHHHHH!" They heard Izuku yell in pain as they saw his body turn into a translucent orange color before they heard the sound of Ice quickly traveling the ground as they saw Izuku quickly be enveloped into Ice by Todoroki.
"BRACE YOURSELVES" The class heard Ojiro yell as the Ice-covered Izuku shattered sending the shards into the group of students who shielded themselves the best they could along with covering their injured professors and classmate in Mina. The loud burst managed to halt all movement in Central Plaza as all eyes fell at the top of the staircase.
"Heh, seems like it finally happening." Kuroi said.
"What did you do to my students Villain!?" All Might asked the Black Dragon member who just looked at the 'Symbol of Peace' with a malicious grin.
"I ain't done nothing wrong 'Symbol of Piss'. All I've done was let the green cunt indulge in his power. Now, as to what the brat does is all on him." Kuroi released a laugh as All Might look back at the top of the staircase in worry as he was reminded of the Kombat Training from some days ago as he remembered the words of Izuku.
"Once I enter that transformation, it becomes easy for me to succumb to its influences... I just lose control." All Might knew he had to prevent the outcome that will happen, especially with the bad blood between the two students he had to get to them. He rushed towards his students but as he did, he slammed onto a blue translucent screen that appeared suddenly infront of him.
"What is this?" The stunned Symbol of Peace said as he saw the entire area of Central Plaza was covered in the same blue dome as the trio of Villains and the Nomu were inside the dome with him.
"A little old gift I picked from S.F. Made to keep sods like yourself in, nothing gets in and nothing gets out." Kuroi said holding a controller as Shigaraki looked at him with confusion.
"Wait, why didn't you use it against Eraser Head earlier if you had it all this time!" He yelled.
"Because I only had one of them and like I said, it was programmed to keep the targets in, not get out. Better to save something like that against All Might as oppose to a Hero that could be taken care of." Kuroi said which had reasoning to it before looking inside the dome towards All Might.
"You're a cage animal in there 'Symbol of Piss'. Can't have you ruin the fun early. Don't worry if you feel lonely, you have Nomu as a companion." Kuroi said patting the Nomu as it charged into the Symbol of Peace and tackling into one end of the dome. All Might picked himself up, coughing out blood as he looked back at his students, he had to free himself from this imprisonment, one way or another he will save his students. At the top of the staircase, the students were recovering from the sudden blast as they were left in shock and confusion as to what they had seen.
"Is... is everyone alright?" Ojiro said as he got himself as various members of 1-A were able to get themselves up to their feet. The tail-user looked at the dagger he was holding in hand, the weapon that was thought to have been lost to time. He had so many questions about why the weapon suddenly appeared after so long but if the information he knew about the Kamidogu is true, then right now, they all were in great danger.
"Yeah, I believe so." Momo said as she helped Kyouka get back up.
"The injured are safe as well. Uhhh... Hey guys, where is Deku?" Uraraka asked as she along with Koda, Kirishima, and Hagakure were the ones responsible for shielding the injured. Like her question, they did not see their green-haired classmate anywhere. Bakugo would walk up to the tail-user as he made him face the explosive blonde.
"Ok monkey tail, what the hell happened to Deku and why the hell did you and Icy Hot freak out about this knife?" Bakugo asked pointing to the glowing Kamidogu. Ojiro was ready to give a response as he knew that his classmates must be wondering the same thing and had to inform them of the trouble they may be in. However, before he could, he felt a heavy presence next to them, almost overwhelming, as he looked to where Todoroki had encased Midoriya. Nothing much was left of the Ice his dual haired classmates had created but right there in the center of what once was his encasement they saw embers coming together before forming into back into Izuku, who remained still facing them, his green cloth mask still over his face, slightly hunched with his arms hanging in front of him as his hair shadowed his eyes.
"M-Midoriya?" Ojiro said with caution as he hid the blade within his Gi for precaution and to get it away from the greenette. The tail-users call caught everyone's attention as they all saw the greenette, not moving as flames were dancing wildly around his body, appearing unaffected by them. The class felt a sense of relief in seeing their classmate standing but the longer they looked at him the more they an ominous feeling from him.
"Uraraka, Koda, Hagakure, stay with the professors and Mina." Kirishima said as the trio nodded as the redhead made his way towards the rest of the group.
"Green?" Jirou called out to him as she tried approaching him slowly but was grabbed by the back of her jacket by Ojiro.
"Don't get any closer Jirou!" He said with fear in his tone as the Punk girl looked at him in confusion.
"Why shouldn't I help him?!"
"Trust me, it's not safe around him right now! We have to-"
"Ojiro, my apologies for interrupting you." The tail-user heads the ravenette call him which caused him to look at her.
"There is something that you aren't telling us and if this pertains to the wellbeing of Izuku then you must share it with us." Yaoyorozu said as Ojiro felt all eyes were on him. However before he could get a response out, the class saw Izuku suddenly teleport and unlike his usual teleportation that was often accompanied by smoke and embers, this one just happened in a flash of orange light. They saw Izuku reappear once more slightly above Bakugo as the greenette had both of his chains extended before they encircled around the neck of the explosive blonde as they heard him begin to choke.
"Deku... *Argh* what are you *Argh* Doing?!" Bakugo gasped out as he felt the chain tight itself further onto his throat as he looked Izuku in the eyes and saw nothing but white sclera in them, no evidence of his emerald irises that he always had as the slash over his right eye glowing a bright red. Izuku didn't utter a word as he responded with him pulling on his chain as Bakugo gasped loudly with the sound of pops were being heard. Though before Izuku could rip the head of the explosive blonde from his shoulders, he was hit rather hard in the face as it caused him to release his hold on the chain and subsequently on Bakugo as he stumbles back a bit before feeling his arm be held in place as he saw Sero's tape wrap around his body.
"Sorry about that Midoribro." Kirishima said in apology.
"Same here but what got into you?" Sero asked with concern for what the greenette did as he held him in place. The class of 1-A would see Izuku remain in place for a moment before his flames destroyed the tape that was holding in place as he then rubs his chin to alleviate the attack.
"I was doing what was needed to be done." Izuku said coldly.
"W-What do you mean right by that?" Mineta questioned nervously as Izuku remained unresponsive. He took some steps forward towards his target but saw his classmates remain put with Kirishima and Sero standing in front of him.
"Step away from Bakugo." Izuku said in a tone that told them that it wasn't a request but an order as they just look at him in confusion.
"Why?"
"So that he may die." his tone was so cold that caused his classmates to take a step back in shock and surprise, including Bakugo, as the heard what were the intentions of the greenette.
"W-wait, you can't be serious! Look we all know you two have bad blood with each other but come on, you must be joking right?!" Kaminari said as he stumbled his way with the rest of the group. However, they received silence as a response with the greenettes right hand began to ignite in flames and out of it he made a sword but unlike his previous ones, this one was more jagged as if design to inflict the most pain possible to its adversary.
"Step away from Bakugo." The greenette ordered once more as they saw the unnerving look of rage in his face.
"Midoriya, look we know that Bakugo can be... okay, he's an asshole."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY MONKEY TAIL!"
"My point exactly. But right now the Kamidogu from the OrderRealm is manipulating you thoughts. Whatever happened between you two, you cannot let it drive your actions." Ojiro tried reasoning with the greenette as their classmates looked at the tail-user and his mention of the Kamidogu and its purpose.
"Ojiro, I have too many reasons for why he must die. You would not understand..."
"Then tell us Izuku!" Jirou said as she stepped towards the greenette.
"If you can tell us why then we can-"
"You guys can what Kyouka? Let the bastard walk away without consequence as he has done for fourteen years!" Midoriya snapped as them as the class of 1-A looked at the greenette with concern at the implication of his words.
"DEKU, NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR YOUR SHIT!" Bakugo yelled.
"Why? Because your pride is more important than the one life you've done everything to make it a living hell?" Izuku questioned in a calm but icy tone. The class was beginning to catch on to what exactly he was saying and as to the relation that their two classmates had with one another.
"IT'S BECAUSE YOU NEVER LEARNED YOUR DAMN PLACE, DEKU! IF ONLY YOU LEARNED THEN YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF!" Bakugo yelled as Izuku looked up towards the explosive blonde with a stoic expression.
"Really? What 'place' exactly were you trying to put me in, because if I remember correctly, you were the one with the 'flashy' and 'powerful' quirk who got praised by just about everyone and was set into fast track towards being a Hero. While I, the silent, friendless, and bullied kid who everyone didn't give a damn about being the victim to your torment because you couldn't do any wrong, was discouraged by just about everyone saying that I couldn't be a Hero. Also, when you mean 'better off' was that before or after you told me to 'take a swan dive and hope for a quirk in the next life'" Izuku said, venom dripping from his tone.
Bakugo tried to keep his ground but that sense of guilt he had, the questions and doubt that has been in his head for the past few days were finally catching up.
The class of 1-A we're listening to every word that Izuku said, narrating the animosity between their two classmates. They looked at Izuku, someone who has held onto possibly years of grief and anger towards his assailant and being ignored by everyone he tried reaching out for help, and Bakugo, someone who they now knew has tormented their green-haired classmate for years without any repercussions. Emotions for their classmates ranged from looking at the explosive blonde in disappointment to others looking saddened at what their green-haired classmate has gone through because of Bakugo to some looking as though they were ready to burst with anger. The consensus was that if anyone had any negative opinion about the explosive blonde were now exemplified.
"Now do you all see what he is... Someone who says they're a Hero while they have done everything to make my life a living hell. Nothing was ever done and nothing will be done like before, that is why he must die." Izuku explained as the class of 1-A looked in disgust at the explosive blonde who has remained silent with a scowl on his face. Bakugo wanted to try and use some excuse, that Deku was just too weak, that a quirkless loser should've known his place, or that it would not have happened if he didn't get in the way. However, each excuse he made would only emphasize his point, of using someone weaker to cover himself up.
"ARGGHH! FINE OK! YOU NEVER LEARNED YOUR PLACE! WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO! GIVE YOU AN APOLOGY!?" Bakugo yelled as Izuku looked unamused.
"The time for that has long past, Bakugo. I'm done with being sorry for your actions and I've run out of ways to forgive you." Izuku said, the iciness never leaving his tone.
Bakugo looked into his white eyes and yet despite that, he could see all of his anger, all of his hatred, all of it aimed directly at him, everything caused by him.
"This is my last warning to all of you. Stand aside or I'll have to use force." Izuku said as he embedded his sword onto the ground as silence filled the space between them all.
"Midoribro..." the first person to break the silence was Kirishima who looked conflicted before taking a breath before releasing it.
"I'm sorry for what you have gone through and we don't even know the amount of pain you've must of experience because of Bakugo. But we cannot allow you to kill him." He said which got silence from Izuku.
"Kirishima's right, as much as I hate for what Bakugo has done, as Heroes we can't allow you to go forward with this Midoriya." Ojiro said which managed to gain an understanding somewhat from their class that while their opinion on the blonde was at a low, they were Heroes, they could not turn away for personal emotions.
"As much as I hate Bakugo for what's he done to you Izuku, we cannot let you kill him. Either you stop or you go against all of us." Momo said in a saddened tone as she began creating a metal staff as her conflicting feelings were making it hard for her to think. As for Izuku, he just looked at his classmates, all standing in front against him, preventing him from reaching Bakugo.
"None of you have to do this. You know that?" Midoriya said.
"We know Izuku. We don't want to fight you, none of us want to, please stand down and talk. Talk to me, to Momo, to all of us! Please..." Jirou said as she didn't want to stand for Bakugo, especially after learning about his abuse to Izuku, but as Ojiro said, they were Heroes and they cannot let their emotions interfere with them rescuing or saving others and right now the bastard of a classmate needed to be protected from her friend who finally has snapped.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let this injustice go unpunished." Izuku said putting his sword on his back as once more silence filled the air before explosions were heard from behind the class as a rocketing Bakugo was heading straight towards Izuku.
"SHUT UP!" Bakugo yelled as he released the strongest explosion he could. Smoke enveloped the area as a grin fell on his face.
"TO HELL WITH YOU IF YOU THINK YOU'RE A THREAT TO ME!" Bakugo yelled before he felt the air in him be knocked completely out as out of the smoke came an unfazed Izuku who wasn't showing any effects of the explosive blondes attack.
"No, to hell with you." Izuku said as he pushed Bakugo back with his strike as the explosive blonde was sent flying towards the class of 1-A.
"SOMEONE STUPID GET IN MY WAY!"
"WHAT THE AHH!-" Mineta yelped out as Bakugo crash landed onto him, knocking the purple midget out before the fight started.
"*Sigh* Predictable as always Bakugo. Did you seriously not expect me to be ready for you to NOT be the first to attack?" Izuku said.
Bakugo tried picking himself up as he could feel some broken ribs inside him as he was having some difficulty breathing. "If you knew *Gasp* why didn't you kill me then." Bakugo said trying to pick himself up from the knockout Mineta as he started breathing somewhat easier along with feeling his chest shift somewhat.
"Oh, I do intend to kill you. But first, I want to see you suffer, be humiliated, to get a feeling of what I've gone through because of you." Izuku said, looking at the group of 1-A students.
"Ochako, Koda, Tooru, keep the professors and Mina safe!" Momo yelled towards the trio that was by the injured as the three could only nod and watch in worry as their friends were about to face their green haired classmate.
"Ojiro, whatever it is that you said was manipulating Izuku, you need to say it now!" Momo said.
"It's that dagger that you saw. It was a legend but supposedly anyone that's cut by the weapon is possessed by blood magic when their blood is offered to it. It gives the individual enhanced strength and powers their abilities but in return, it drives them to madness and bloodlust." Ojiro said which still sounded absurd but considering all the strange happenings today and how only a few of them knew what the hell was going on, they could only listen.
"Any idea on how to beat him?" Sero asked.
"There is. We just have to make him use up all of the blood magic inside him either by him using it or it escaping from wounds and it should free him from the curse." Ojiro said which got the class of 1-A to have a strategy at least to stop their green-haired classmate before he gets to Bakugo.
"Any other advice?" Kaminari asked as he was somehow feeling better now.
"Don't hold back. Otherwise, he'll just plow through us without issue. You'll know all the tainted blood is out when the scar in his eye isn't glowing anymore." Ojiro said as he omitted a small detail to the class, a detail that he knew would get opposition but if it's to ensure the least amount of damage to his classmates, it would be a decision he had to make, one that Midoriya would have chosen as well.
"I guess regardless we don't have no other choice but to fight. Everyone, protect Bakugo and-"
"OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY EXTRAS!" Kirishima wouldn't finish his sentence as the explosive blonde launched himself once more towards the greenette.
"FOR GOODNESS SAKES! BAKUGO! GET BACK HERE!" Sero yelled as he launched a line of tape to wrap itself around Bakugo as he tried yanking him back which proved to be difficult due to the momentum but was able to reel him back.
"LET ME AT HIM YOU FUCKS!" Bakugo yelled as Sero held him in place though with some struggling.
"Bakugo, you nearly got yourself killed three times in a matter of seconds and two of those times were because of you attacking before thinking!" Momo yelled at him.
Izuku made his way towards them as Sato, Kirishima, Shoji, and Ojiro, all getting ready for the approaching greenette.
"Sorry about this, Midoriya, but it's for your good!" Sato said as Izuku did not stop his approach before rushing towards the group. Sato and Kirishima both swung at the greenette who swerved and dodged their strike with grace. The two tried to attack from above and below the greenette to limit his options but it would be for naught as he flipped in between their attacks and strike both of their in the chest area with enough force that cracking could be heard from both young men.
"*Argh*!" Sato said as he fell to one knee before being struck in the head. Kirishima continued the assault with Izuku as the redhead delivered strike after attack, each one missing like the last, unlike the greenette who was able to deliver several blows onto the body of the redhead who proved resilient to the attacks.
"We're not giving up on you Midoribro!" Kirishima said as he landed a right hook onto Izuku's head which recoiled back, seemingly catching him off guard as the greenette recovered from the attack and delivered an amplified right hook with Fire on his fist as he hit the redhead right in his jaw which seemed to have done its damage as Kirishima stumbled back as his hardened skin cracked severely. The greenette then kneed the redhead in his jaw, stunning him before throwing him towards the entrance of U.S.J.
Shoji appeared next as Izuku dodged his attacks as he knew that the tentacle arm user was stronger physically and had to stop him in a few hits which he would do as Shoji delivered a double-fisted overhead which Izuku managed to step back as the ground in front of his cracked giving the greenette the chance to jump upwards with all his might as he struck the shin of Shoji as the sound of cracking was heard upon contact. The tentacle arm user fell to the ground hard and before he could get up, Izuku slammed two Tanto blades onto his arms piercing right through him and embedding themselves onto the ground under them, effectively pinning him.
Ojiro was next in line to confront the greenette, he delivered several palm strikes to the chest of Midoriya before delivering a strong thrust attack with both fists onto his chest and a tail whip which managed to push the greenette to the ground.
"Midoriya, I know you're still there! Listen to us, don't let revenge drive your motives!" Ojiro pleaded with Izuku who kicked himself up.
"It isn't retribution if it's justified." Izuku said as he rushed towards the tail-user.
"Vindication will never bring you peace, Midoriya. Only pain." Ojiro said, blocking many of the greenette's strikes but quickly realized that Izuku was significantly faster and stronger now due to the blood magic. Thinking quickly, the tail-user tripped the greenette to gain an advantage but he was countered as Izuku instead caught himself with his arms as he launched himself directly. Ojiro who was ready to counter-attack, but before he could, Izuku used Flame-Port and kicked him in the back. Ojiro tried to attack with his tail but before he could, Izuku teleported once more in front of him as the greenette delivered a roundhouse kick right onto his jaw, sending him tumbling to the ground as he felt his jaw get broken from the kick. Izuku continued making his way forward as a blue-laser was shot at him but he sidestepped. Izuku saw Sero, Kyouka, Tokoyami, and Tsuyu make their way towards him with Aoyama as support.
"Izuku, I'm sorry for what you had to go through, I know what it's like to be picked on by other but this isn't the way. I don't want to hurt you so please stop! Gero." Tsuyu said as she and Tokoyami both tried doing a combined attack by getting Dark Shadow to hold Izuku down while she incapacitates him. However, the plan quickly fell apart as Izuku ignited his right arm in Flames and launched a Fire Ball directly towards Tokoyami and Dark Shadow which proved to weaken the duo as Dark Shadow released a shout of pain. Tsuyu tried to salvage the plan by trying to knock out her friend but just as her leg made contact with his head, he caught her leg with his left arm which she instantly felt a painful cold wave hit her as she saw some fragments of Ice covering her leg. All she felt was excruciating pain as she instinctively went to grab her leg as Izuku threw her away in as she clutched her leg. Izuku quickly dodged another laser from Aoyama as he materialized a Kunai before throwing it into the belt around the naval laser user, causing it to malfunction. Using that opportunity, Izuku Flame-Ported towards him and delivered a knee strike onto the damaged device, breaking further, knocking him out. As Izuku was picking himself up, he heard the familiar yelling of an explosive blonde heading his way.
"FUCKING DIE, DEKU!" Bakugo yelled as he sent a barrage of explosions at point-blank at the greenette. After a bit, he stopped, panting somewhat thinking he finally did it. That was until an Ice Shard flew out of the smoke and pierced Bakugo on the side. Bakugo, let out a shout of pain as the Ice went through him and colored the end in his blood. He grabbed onto the Ice as he looked up and came eye to eye with Midoriya who had a hand raised over his head with one of his swords.
"You really should listen to what the others tell you, Bakugo." Izuku chided mockingly.
Bakugo braced himself for the attack but just then Izuku's hand was yanked back along with him as they would be some distance out between the explosive blonde and the greenette. Bakugo used the opportunity to pull himself off the Ice, though not without struggle as he slid himself off with his blood pouring into the ground. Izuku looked at his hand and see that it was being held by tape.
"Midoriya, you have to stop now! That's enough!" Sero yelled as he saw the greenette stand up. Before he could finish wrapping the greenette, Izuku grabbed onto the tape that was holding him.
"Get over here!" Izuku yelled as with a strong yank, he pulled the tape user towards him as he delivered an elbow strike onto the helmet of Sero, cracking it open and sending shards flying. Izuku continued holding only the tape of Sero and then delivered a thrust kick, sending the tape user into the air before slamming him onto the ground hard, knocking him out. The greenette looked back towards the injured Bakugo who was clutching onto his side, noticing was slowly closing up.
"Did that hurt?" Izuku taunted.
"AS IF YOUR SHITTY POWERS COULD DO ANYTHING TO ME DEKU!" Bakugo yelled as he saw Izuku face fall into a scowl as he held onto the tape that was still connected into Sero.
"You say that as you're bleeding with everyone trying to defend you." he stated as he proceeded to burn the tape, the flames quickly traveled towards Sero's arm before being sliced off by Jirou who had her Tessen fans at her disposal.
"Izuku, please stop! You don't have to do this!" She pleaded with him.
"If you were in my position you would do the same." Izuku said as he tried delivering a right hook but she dodged and slice part of his arm, getting a grunt out of him.
"Please, don't make me have to hurt you, Izuku!" Jirou pleaded.
Izuku continued his assault, summoning a Kunai and began to clash with her fans. He was proving to be a better and stronger fighter over her as each strike he delivers against her pushed her further onto the ground and leave her with slash marks on her.
"Izuku... stop!" Jirou said as he would be just right above her as he continued pushing his strength on top of her as if putting her into submission.
"Please... stop..." She tried pushing him away but he kept pushing onto her as the memory of the Mountain Zone began to replay in her mind as her defense was beginning to crumble as she began to tremble under him. She looked him in the eyes and saw not the same green-haired young man that she had come to care but someone entirely different as he continued attacking relentlessly. Gripping the Tessen fans tightly, she felt a familiar energy deep within her as looked back at Midoriya.
"I SAID STOP *SCCCRRREEEEEECCCHHH*!" Jirou released the same screech from earlier, surprising her but continued as the scream was strong enough to blow the greenette off her as he crashed to the ground before rolling back onto his feet. Jirou continued with her assault, not knowing how to stop it or how to start and she screamed at Izuku in hopes of stopping him as he slowly made his way towards her, her screeching affecting him as he tried covering his ears. The sound was also having its effects of those of 1-A as many of them would try to shield their ears from the ear-piercing screech that wanted it to stop, but to an onyx eyed girl, she quickly took note of the situation.
"KYOUKA! KEEP GOING! IT'S WEAKENING HIM!" Momo yelled, hoping that it reached her as she wasn't even sure if she said something but it appears to have been passed on as the Punk girls shriek got louder to the point that the class could feel their entire bodies shake to the very core and the screech becoming unbearable as several windows in the area cracked and even broken from the sound waves. However, the effects were becoming evident on the greenette as they could see his skin being burst and sliced open by the reverbing sound waves as they were becoming too much for him. That was until the screech began to weaken in power, the attack was proving taxing on Jirou as she felt her throat was sore and strained, along with her ears hurting and probably bursting from her ongoing attack. Just as she stops her screech, Izuku made his way towards her as he grabbed her by her neck tightly and lifting her off the ground. Jirou tried to pry his ever-tightening hand off of her neck as she also kicked her feet that were dangling off the ground as her airway was being closed off.
"Izuku*gasp*... don't*gasp*... Please..." Jirou gasped out as Izuku only tightened his grip on her neck as her movement began to slow down.
*Thonk*
Izuku released his hold on the punk girl from being struck on the head hard by a steel pole that caused him to take a step away from the unconscious Kyouka. He looked at his attacker and saw it to be Yaoyorozu who had was taking a more defensive position against the greenette.
"Forgive me, Izuku, but I have to bring you to your senses one way or another. I'm not going to lose you again!" Yaoyorozu said as she rushed towards the greenette and swung her pole down at the greenette who would block the attack with both forearms. He would push her back and prepared to counter-attack but as he did, he was barely able to dodge an uppercut strike by her with her pole as he did a backflip to avoid the strike. As he was in mid-air, Yaoyorozu materialized a boomerang out of her other hand as she threw the projectile towards the greenette. However, Izuku Flame-Ported away from the weapon in time and be facing the ravenette as Yaoyorozu tried to jump back but was grabbed by her arm as the greenette threw an elbow right onto her abdomen, knocking the wind out of her as she fell to the ground.
"Did you think that would work on me?" Izuku questioned the tactic used as Yaoyorozu looked up at him in defiance.
"I was hoping you would dodge." She said as the greenette was struck in the back of the head by the boomerang which gave chance for Yaoyorozu to create another weapon which was a Sai as she pierced Izuku on his side. The ravenette didn't want to hurt her friend but it was necessary if they were to expel all of the blood magic out of him.
The greenette released a grunt of pain as he slammed his head onto the nose of Yaoyorozu, the sound of her nose breaking was heard as blood covered the two. However, the ravenette would prove to be resilient as she pushed through the pain on her nose as she suddenly out of Instinct bit into the neck of Izuku. This proved to stun the greenette as he released a pained shout as the ravenette sank her teeth into his neck, blood trickling down both him and her body. Yaoyorozu then felt Izuku's hands trying to pry her off of him but she continued to hold onto him as more of his blood fell onto her and she didn't know what compelled her to bite him in the first place but she started to slurp on his blood which seemed to have been the waking point for the ravenette as she instantly let go of her green-haired friend.
Yaoyorozu remained still as the realization of what she did suddenly hit her at that moment, however before she could think of her next action, she felt her shoulders be grabbed as she felt a strike in her gut before another one was delivered onto her. She spat out blood, not knowing which one was her own or of Izuku as felt her insides burning from the strikes. As she doubled over, Izuku grabbed her bo staff from before and grabbed her from behind, choking her with it as the ravenette would struggle for a bit before her movement slowed down at which he loosened his hold on her but not before kneeing her against her staff, breaking the weapon in two as Yaoyorozu was laid out on the ground in pain.
Midoriya threw the broken bo staff to the ground as he finished with Yaoyorozu. However, a trail of Ice made its way towards him. He Flame-Ported out of the way just as the Ice protruded out of the spot he was once standing. He reappeared at the top of the Ice Pillar as he saw his next obstacle.
"Step aside, Todoroki." Izuku said as the dual haired young man looked at him with a serious expression.
"I'm holding my ground Midoriya. Just as the Lin Kuei have done against the Shirai Ryu." Todoroki said as Ice slowly crept from where he stood.
"I don't want to fight you, Todoroki, so stand aside." Izuku said in a serious tone and was answered with a barrage of Ice making their way towards the greenette who just stood in place.
'I got you!' Todoroki though as the Ice enveloped his opponent. Silence filled the area as the only thing that could be heard was the grunting of some of the students and the fighting happening down at the Central Plaza. That silence was quickly broken as Todoroki's Ice shattered into bits with an orange glow as the shard flew past him. Out of the Ice stood an unaffected Izuku, enveloped completely in wild flames, as he made his way towards Todoroki. The dual haired young man would send another barrage of Ice only for the Ice to melt as it got into proximity of the greenette, this continued as Izuku was just a few feet away from him as Todoroki would raise his right hand as a stream of Ice shot directly onto Izuku who continued walking through it until he grabbed Todoroki by the neck. He was lifted off the ground like Jirou but unlike her, Izuku wasn't closing his airway as he looked at Todoroki.
"Even in dire situations, you refuse to use your left side." Izuku said as he saw Todoroki struggle in his grip.
"How... how were you not affected by my Ice?!" Todoroki said as a sigh was heard.
"Because, Todoroki, while you may be able to counter your quirks' over usage by using each other, I'm immune to their effects while in this form. I embraced what I am and that is what differentiates you and me." he explained as he pulled in the dual haired clansman and whispered into his ear.
"I'm disappointed in you, cousin." Izuku said which Todoroki looked shocked and confused at him as he was prepared to demand answers but before he could he felt a knee strike him directly in the abdomen, knocking his breath out as Midoriya delivered a final strike onto his head, knocking Todoroki out with a single word on his mind.
'Cousin?'
Izuku redirected his sight back towards Bakugo who he saw was running towards him as oppose to launching himself reeling a right hook. The greenette released an internal sigh as he prepared to counter-attack with his own right hook but in the last second Bakugo would use his explosion to redirect himself.
"GOT YOU NOW DE-"
*Slam*
Bakugo wouldn't finish his sentence as just as he was going to strike Izuku in the back with the same tactic from their Kombat training, the greenette rotated his whole body and delivered a roundhouse kick with his heel slamming onto the chest of the explosive blonde, cracking the ground underneath. Bakugo spat out blood but would not be allowed to rest as Izuku grabbed him by his scalp and made him look at the greenette.
"Persistent as always, Bakugo." Izuku said as a whirl of Fire concentrated into a Flame Ball as he was about to press it into the chest of the explosive blonde but he lost his grip on Bakugo as someone grabbed him from behind on a tight grip, keeping his arms to his side along with feeling their legs wrap around him.
"This won't kill you, Midoriya, but it sure as hell won't tickle." Kaminari said from behind as Izuku was struggling in his grip as electricity was quickly released from the electric blonde. The effect of the electricity on the greenette was apparent as his body locked in place, being enveloped by Kaminari's electricity as a shout of pain was heard the longer it went on. Uraraka could do nothing but cringe as she heard the shouts of her friend, it hurt her seeing what was happening to him but knew it was necessary for what happened to him but it did mean it hurt her to see him be in pain or when he take down her classmates with minimum issue or leaving their injured. The same could be said for Hagakure as a feeling uselessness filled her as she like Ochako could only watch from the sidelines while their friends were being injured trying to defend the asshole that has done nothing but belittle their existence of build himself as the best of all of them.
"To...u.." Hagakure would hear the bare voice of her friend Mina who she was kneeling next to as while some of her injuries has been able to be healed through the Jinsei, she was still in critical condition as her stomach had not close up and her stump of an arm, while not bleeding anymore, it was still a stump of gore. The silverette watched as her injured Pink friend raise her remaining hand towards her.
"Iz..u... san h..."
"What?"
"Save... Izuku..." Hagakure heard her friend say as she looked her with a look of confusion as she looked back towards Midoriya and saw the electricity from Kaminari came to a halt with the electric blonde letting go of the greenette.
"Yay." Kaminari said with a derpy look in his face as Hagakure, Uraraka, Koda, and even Bakugo looked in shock as Izuku somehow was able to withstand the electric blonde's attack.
"Holy... shit..." Bakugo said as he saw the greenette turn to look at the dunce Kaminari who was standing with both thumbs out.
"That's enough of you Kaminari and I will admit, I did feel that one." Izuku said as he gently pushed on the electric blonde shoulder as he plopped on the ground. He returned his gaze towards Bakugo who tried to keep up his bravado as he saw the greenette just shake off the attack.
"Are you not going to attack me again or did you finally start using your head, Bakugo?" Izuku taunted the explosive blonde as the greenette saw the same angry expression on his face as Bakugo ran up to him and threw his fists at the greenette who just blocked each attack with his palms.
"DON'T TAKE ME AS A FUCKING JOKE DEKU!" Bakugo yelled as he threw in explosions with each strike which only resulted with Izuku redirecting each one to a different direction.
"I don't, at least a joke would make me laugh, Bakugo." Izuku snarked. He saw the explosion blonde release a growl of anger as Bakugo threw caution out the window and tackled the greenette onto the ground, raising both palms into the air as sparks were seen coming out of them.
"JUST FUCKING DIE ALREADY!" Bakugo yelled.
*Stab*
Bakugo didn't get a chance let go of his explosion as he felt a sudden pain course through his side causing his arms to fall to the side. He looked down towards his abdomen and saw the same jagged sword from earlier piercing right through him as Deku thrusted it through him. Bakugo got off the greenette as he stumbled a few steps, clutching onto the weapon as he could feel his blood seeping out of him.
"You... *Cough*" Bakugo coughed out blood as he fell to his knees clutching the blade as the greenette stood in front of him.
"Hurts, doesn't it?" Midoriya said as he crouched infront of Bakugo and grabbed him by his hair to look at him.
"Fuck... You!" Bakugo said swinging his right palm at Izuku who grabbed his gauntlet just as the explosion released next to his heads.
"That isn't going to work on me anymore, Bakugo." Izuku said as the explosive blonde saw the greenettes hand emit flames, pressing onto his gauntlet as Bakugo felt his right arm burning more by the second. He would try to pry himself off of the gauntlet but Izuku responded kindly but continuing to burn the grenade shaped gauntlet as it began to change into a bright orange with the gauntlet caving in of itself. Bakugo was clawing at his arm and fiddling to remove his arm out while trying to ignore the sword piercing him and after some struggle, he tore his arm out of his gauntlet as his right arm ended with scraps from the metal and burn marks. He fell slightly back which only seem to aggravate his injury as the sword would shift inside him, causing the jagged sides of the weapon to embedded themselves deeper into him.
Bakugo tried to pick himself up but just as he was getting to his feet, Izuku appeared infront of him, grabbed him by the throat and the sword in his other hand as he slowly began to pull the jagged weapon out of him. It wasn't a simple process of pulling the weapon as the greenette did everything to torture Bakugo from pushing and pulling the sword little by little with the jagged sides catching his insides causing the explosive blonde to cough out more blood, to moving the sword in every direction to cause it to grab onto anything that was inside of him, to slowly twisting and turning the weapon while pulling it out.
Bakugo tried to stop the process many times as he could feel his body trying to heal up any injuries he had as he saw the faint glow coming from his wounds. Izuku noticed this as well as along with each attempt Bakugo tried in escaping or him healing, Izuku jammed his weapon into him and causing him to hault whatever attempt he was doing and causing the healing to start slowing down, to the point where his injuries didn't close anymore and instead remained as proof of the greenette's torture of the explosive blonde as blood continued to pool by their feet.
Uraraka watched in horror with her eyes stinging at the display her friend was showing. It reminded so much of not worse than what he did to the mist villain earlier as she saw Deku have a grin slowly spread in his face as he watched Bakugo try to free himself. Koda couldn't stand to watch as he looked away and covered his ears to block out the sounds or flesh and screams of pains. Hagakure was stunned at the display as she looked back at Mina who had her hand still raised at her, like waiting for Hagakure to accept her request. The silverette would grab onto her friends hand as she gave her a slight squeeze before releasing her hand.
As for both Aizawa and Thirteen, they could only watch helplessly as Izuku went through all of his classmates just to get to Bakugo. They couldn't use their quirks unless one of the other students were put at a disadvantage and with how their bodies not allowing them much in movement, they were useless in helping their students.
Midoriya finally pulled the sword out of Bakugo and let it clank you the ground as the explosive blonde slumped to the ground like a rag doll. A smirk of satisfaction was etched into the face of the greenette as he looked at the injured form of his tormentor. Bakugo attempted to stand up, realizing how close he was to the edge of the staircase as he saw All Might trying to break through some blue translucent dome and the giant bird head creature rushing at him. Bakugo would coughing out blood as he got in all four limbs but Izuku stepped on the back of his head before he could get himself further off the ground as the greenette grinded his head against the hard concrete floor.
"How does it feel Bakugo, knowing that all of the pain that you've caused has finally come back." he asked rhetorically before kicking his head, turning him over. The explosive blonde would try to crawl away but would be stopped when the sound of a snap followed by another snap was heard and a surge of wave hit Bakugo as Izuku stepped as hard as he could on each knee. Bakugo would clutch onto his broken knees as the pain was becoming unbearable and the green glow not fixing him up anymore like it did before. He looked up towards Deku and saw the face of satisfaction as he looked at the work that he had made as Bakugo remained quiet and pensive for a moment as he looked at his situation.
'Was this... was this what I looked like to him...' Bakugo thought as Izuku grabbed him by his scalp and raised up to eye level, making his feet lift of the ground.
"End of the line Bakugo." the greenette said as he once again made his hand flow with flames as it concentrated into a Fire Ball and began to slowly press it into the stomach of Bakugo. The sound of sizzling flesh could be heard along with the shouts of pain coming from Bakugo as the Fire burned at him.
"Izuku!" The voice of Hagakure sounded as she approached the duo as greenette halted his movement and moved his hand away from the stomach of the explosive blonde, giving him a moment of rest.
"Hagakure, this does not concern you."
"It became my concern once you started attacking our friends!" Hagakure said as Izuku turned his head slightly towards her as she saw the giant cut over his right eye.
"I warned them that I did not want to fight them. The only one that I wanted was this bastard, for everything he has done. You're one of the few that didn't try to stop me and I don't want to hurt any more of our classmates than what I have already." he said as he jolted the explosive blonde in his grip as a grunt of pain was heard from Bakugo.
"Izuku, please, this isn't like you."
"What makes you think that you know me, Hagakure?" Izuku's tone that the silverette caused shivers from where she was as she tried stepping forwards towards him.
"I know that the Izuku I know would risk his life to save all of us, that he is the sweetest and most caring guy I have met who would do what he can to give comfort to someone who feels at their lowest, that he would give me the one thing I have always wanted and that was to finally feel as though I have a place to belong in and not be overlooked or feel invisible." Hagakure said as Midoriya appear to look down as if in though as he let go of Bakugo who fell to the ground with a thud as the explosive blonde would crawl away from the edge of the staircase and towards the center of the entrance platform. Izuku remained standing, looking pensive for some moments as turned completely towards the silverette with an sorrowful expression as Hagakure could see the look of thought and sadness. Izuku then fell to his knees at which Hagakure would kneel infront of his as she seemed to have gotten to him.
"Hagakure, I..." Izuku said before being enveloped in a hug by the silverette as he felt his head rest on her chest as he heard her heart pace at a steady, soothing beat.
"Shh... It's ok Izuku. You'll be ok." Hagakure said in a soothing voice as she calmed him down the best she could as Izuku listened to her and fell to her embrace, wrapping his arms around her as he felt one of her arms let go of him.
"That's why, I will do anything to save you." Hagakure said as she grabbed his blood soaked sword from the ground and in a quick motion.
Slash*
Hagakure slashes the jagged weapon on the side of the greenette as a massive gash was left behind with blood oozing from the wound along with it shredding part of Izuku's shirt.
"Hagakure... why..." She heard him say as she took a step back as saw the look of betrayal in the face of Izuku as he looked at her then at the wound in his side as Hagakure began to feel the guilt of what she has just done to him. It wasn't of what would he do but rather that in his most vulnerable, she manipulated him and use the one thing he has always wanted, the feeling of being wanted, and took it away from him even if it was in order to bring him back to his senses.
"I'm sorry Izuku." Hagakure said as she saw the Flames around his body beginning to flow more violently along with his injured side healing at a fast pace.
"I trusted you..." Izuku said before appearing right in front of her and grabbing the blade of his sword. Hagakure tried to keep hold of the weapon for she knew that she very well had angered the young man but in the struggle, Izuku slapped Hagakure in the face and the silverette fell to the ground. She felt the stinging from the slap as she touched the sensitive skin as Izuku stood infront of her with the sword in hand.
"Hagakure... I trusted you and now you used me like everyone has." Izuku said as he was prepared to thrust his sword into the silverette who lifted her hand to try and shield herself.
Stab*
Though Hagakure never felt the cold, hard steel from his weapon as when she looked back up, she saw an injured Mina, having jumped in the way of the attack and getting pierced through the chest by Izuku as both the silverette and the greenette looked in chock at the Pinketts intervention.
"Mina?" Midoriya said as he saw her panting hard, however before he could react, Ashido would reach behind him and grab onto his other remaining sword as Mina would thrust the sword right through his back and jamming in further as it went through her as the two blades when through the Pinkette and piercing right through Izuku as well as both her and his blood began to flow onto the ground.
"Mina!" Hagakure yelled as she heard a cough come from the Pinkett.
"Tooru... move... now!" Mina mustered our the strength to say as she pushed herself further onto the two blades, feeling the excruciating pain as the jagged edges scraped past her as she heard pained grunts from Izuku as well.
"Mina, stop this!" Izuku said as he tried to move himself forward to remove the blade from both his and Ashido's body as the sword began to move out of them slowly. Mina, not wanting to give in, grit her teeth as she felt a surge of energy flow though her as four black and pink pincer like appendages jutted out from her back.
"What the?" Mina questioned with curiosity as she saw the pincers from behind her before they enclosed themselves around her green haired friend and bury themselves onto him as a shout of pain was heard from him, bring him further onto the sword as she would wrap her arms around him in a tight hold and ensure that he wouldn't move anywhere. While she may have taken hold of Izuku, the Pinkette knew that it wouldn't be enough as her injuries were catching up to her and wouldn't be able to hold him for much longer as she had to finish her plan.
"BAKUGO!" Mina yelled as the explosive blonde was snapped out of his stupor as he heard his name be called by the Pinkett.
"USE YOUR GAUNTLET ON US!" Mina yelled.
"RACOON EYES ARE STUPID! YOU'LL-"
"JUST SHUT UP AND DO IT!" She yelled at the explosive blonde who saw his gauntlet was glowing red. Izuku, now realizing what her intentions were, tried Flame-Porting out of the way but each time he used it he felt the pincers from the Pinkette sink further into him as he felt his body growing weaker by the second. It felt as though something was being injected into him that was weakening him, like poison. He wanted to move out of the way, not just because it would most likely injured him if his past experience with it was any indication even with a badly made Ice Barrier but because if he didn't, Mina would be taking the blast as well and in her state, she would most likely not survive.
"Mina, please stop! You'll die if you do this!" Izuku said, beginning to sound like his old self, regardless of the glowing red slash mark in his eyes saying otherwise. Izuku tried to break free but the Pinkette continued her hold as a cough was heard from her before looking up at him as the greenette saw her bruise up face as she tried to muster up a smile.
"I'm sorry, Izuku... I forgive you... because I know it's not you... I promised... that I would be there at your side... through it all..." Mina said as Bakugo lines up shot with some slight hesitation. The Pinkette could feel her hold slipping as she grit her teeth and with the last of her energy, she gave out her order.
"DO IT NOW!" She yelled as Bakugo pulled the pins as a ball of fire quickly made it's way towards the two young adults.
*Boom*
The trio of Villains and All Might saw the two curly haired students at the top of the staircase be consumed by a ball of fire as the area around the blue-translucent dome they were in was engulfed in smoke and debri with the shockwave from the blast shaking the ground under them.
"NO!" All Might yelled as he hit the defensive dome with his fist to try and break out of it but it just gave him the same result in it just giving a blue ripple effect.
"Hahahahah, oh my god that was hysterical! Did ya see the two cunts explode! Hahahah!" Kuroi was laughing his gut out as the Villains saw what the green haired brat that gave them so much trouble just go after each and every last one of his classmates without issue in a matter of three minutes as a satisfying smile fell on Shigaraki at what was occurred. All Might felt his blood boil as he heard the Villains laughing about his students possible demise, he turned around to see the Nomu was once more standing opposite of him, the creature has given him more trouble than necessary.
At the top of the staircase, Bakugo was launched back by the force of his blast, unlike the first time he used the blast where he was able to remain standing as he didn't have his footing due to his broken knees which the pain suddenly flared up once more as his attention return to them. He raised himself up with his arms as the first thing he saw was debris and smoke everywhere, some small patches of Fire and blood were on the ground.
He then heard coughing behind and when he did, he saw the three remaining classmates that were still standing without much injury. He then saw the silverette walking towards him before slapping him in the face hard as he fell on the ground once more.
"AH! WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR DEAL INVISABITCH!?" Bakugo yelled before having the front of his uniform grabbed as Hagakure knelt infront of him with what he saw tears threatening to fall.
"What's my deal?! Oh I don't know maybe the fact that Izuku, one of the sweetest boys I've ever met, suddenly lost his marbles and revealed to all of us that the pretentious prick of our class had tormented him for years and had every right to want payback but couldn't because we had to protect your ass in which all of my friends ended up getting hurt and my best friend sacrificing herself to stop him! So yeah, that's my deal bastard!" Hagakure yelled at him as her tears finally fell down as she threw him back on the ground. Bakugo raised himself back up into a sitting position as he saw Hagakure, Uraraka, and Koda going over several of their classmates, all either with something broken or with blood running down their bodies, all evidence of them trying to protect him from someone that had all the reasons in the world to go after him for all the abuse he has done.
Bakugo looked in shook at the damages caused by De- no, Midoriya did in order to kill him. It made him reflect as to why he did what he did to the greenette as the same nagging feeling from earlier came back to him, why did he have such a vendetta for him, why did he start abusing the hell out of him for fourteen years. He always went back to the memory of when they were just kids and he fell in a ditch and Midoriya help him out of it, he saw that as the point where things change between them but by then he remembered that he was not being as friendly to Midoriya prior so there had to be something else that he isn't remembering. He looked towards the edge of the staircase, where Ashido and Midoriya once stood as the explosive blonde saw one of the pincers and several fragments of it and different colored blood littering the grounds. Everything looked in pure disaster and it was all because of what he has done to his childhood friend, someone he was close to and now someone that was out for his blood as Bakugo could only hang his head in exhaustion.
"Ba*Gasp*... kugo!" The explosive blonde and the remainder of 1-A heard from the cloud of smoke blocking the view from the top of the staircase but they recognize the voice as shock filled them.
"No... fucking... way..." Bakugo said as the smoke dissipated and out he saw the form of Izuku, heavily injured, his mask was completely gone allowing them to see the angry greenette, his hair having some parts of it looking burnt, along with most of his body covered in blood, both red and blue with patches of his flesh appearing to have been blown apart to the point where they could see the muscle under his chest. However the part that horrified everyone was that still clinging to his chest was Ashido, or what remained of her.
"MINA!" Hagakure yelled and wanted to go retrieve her friend but was held back by Uraraka. They saw how the Pinkette's body was burnt to a black crisp, contrasting to the Pink skin and hair that she had, she was missing three of the pincers that protruded from her back and various chunks of her body were missing such as part of her arms and leg and the part of her body that appeared to be the most intact was her head, not missing anything but still appearing burnt. Bakugo looked in horror at the realization of what his explosions were capable of, that they could kill and what would have happened to Hagakure if Izuku didn't intervene but now he saw the full effects that it had and the results left his stomach turning. Izuku wrapped his arms over the body of Ashido and began sliding her off the sword that connected the two with chunks of burnt flesh flaking off. Once pulled, he pulled out the second blade before gently setting her on the floor.
"Hagakure..." Izuku called her out which caught them by surprise.
"You can take her body now..." Midoriya said as Uraraka let go of the silverette as she ran towards where the remains of Mina were and once up close she felt even more helpless, that she couldn't have done anything and her friend paid the price. She looked back up towards the greenette that had cared for, looking into the white sclera eyes and faintly dim scar as he showed no emotion. That emotion she had for him since he saved her, the feeling of a crush, she felt it be overwhelmed by a sense of anger as she looked at him, being the cause that she was the way she was. Her body began to emit small puffs of smoke before picking up what remained of her friend but not before shooting a glare towards her once crush.
"I hope your revenge was worth it, Midoriya." She said coldly but got no response as she moved away from him. Izuku returned his gaze towards the explosive blonde who remained sitting on the ground with his broken knees and his hair shadowing his eyes. The greenette began to make his way towards Bakugo, at which Uraraka and Koda would try to move before they felt the hand of Hagakure on their shoulders.
"No, let them be. They've done enough damage to all of us." Hagakure said as she returned back to the burnt body of her best friend as the brunette and animal talker looked at her with concern. Izuku stood over Bakugo, panting and at the end of his ropes.
"I have to give it to you Bakugo, you certainly know how to piss me off." Izuku said but didn't get a response.
"*Sigh* For once in your life you don't have anything to retort with. Do you finally see the damage you cause, how much trouble you have brought because of your own brash actions, do you?!" Izuku yelled at him.
"You're right." Bakugo said in a low tone.
"What was that?"
"I said you are right. All of this, the class being put at risk, my questionable decision making, what happened to you, all of it was me." Bakugo said in admittance, surprising the greenette.
"So now you finally understand as well, the consequences of your actions. A life full of praise led you to here Bakugo, an asshole who wants to be the number one Hero yet treats everyone as if they were just an inconvenience. Why do any of the things you ever done, why did you even become a Hero?" Izuku questioned.
"Because Heroes always win, no matter what." Bakugo said.
"In that case, if you were to beat me now, what exactly does that leave you? All of our classmates are hurt because they tried defending you even if they didn't like you and Mina being burned to a crisp because of you."
"That was your doing as well!"
"My only target was you, not our classmates. I didn't want to hurt any of them. I tried moving out of the blast with Mina but in the end you still pulled the trigger. Even with all of that she still fought on because that is what a Hero does. Protecting those that can't protect themselves." Izuku said at which point Bakugo began to feel a tinge of familiarity at his words, as if it finally tapped that itch that has been pestering him for the past few days as he began to recall an old memory from his past.
Fifteen Years Ago
They were at a park, he had gotten his quirk some time ago and on that day he learned that Midoriya was quirkless. He felt a sense of sorry for him and even saw how everyone began to treat him differently and that whenever he talked about being a Hero people laughed it off but the nerd kept at it. That was when Bakugo, during one of their play dates their mothers set up, he asked the greenette.
"Izuku, why is it that you still want to be a Hero even with no quirk?" He said to which a young Midoriya would look as his silver age All Might action figure and gave a smile.
"Because even if I don't have a quirk, I still want to save other people Kachaan. Like All Might, he always saves everyone with a smile in his face. Even if it will be harder without a quirk, I still want to help others and I will still become a Hero one day." Izuku said in a cheerful tone and while the young explosive blonde may have found that as a good motive, it did make him realize something. Izuku would never give up on his dream of being a Hero and he knew how persistent the greenette could be and with him hearing in the T.V how if quirkless people were allowed to be Heroes, they would not be able to live against Villains with quirks.
He looked back at the cheerful Midoriya who was playing with his action figure and the idea of him dying was something he didn't want to think. Not just because of how he didn't want to see him die but because he knew how devastated aunty Inko would be if her only son died, he knew Uncle Hisashi was away most of the time so to have the one constant family die for something that will definitely kill him, he believed he had to do what he needed to do to ensure that the greenette didn't die.
"Nah, I would say to quit that Izuku, plus you wouldn't be able to compare against my awesome quirk, much less All Might so give up on it." Bakugo said pushing the action figure out of his hands as he saw Midoriya have a crestfallen expression fall on his face. He knew it was wrong to be mean to Izuku but he had to if it meant that he wouldn't die, he would have to pick on him, protecting him from a life of death by ensuring he gave up on that dream and for him to choose another option, he promised to himself, a promise that he would forget as the praises from his quirk grew and the picking on Izuku quickly turned into bullying.
Present
Bakugo eyes expanded as he now realize what he has forgotten. The promise he made to himself over Izuku, one that helped him explain for all of his confusion for the past few days.
"I'm sorry." Bakugo said before hearing a sigh from Izuku.
"I've already told you. I'm done with forgiving you Bakugo. If that is all that you have to say then I'll just finish this." Izuku said as his right arm enveloped in Flames.
"I know you will never forgive me De-Midoriya. I wasn't able to keep my promise." Bakugo said, halting Izuku's movement for a moment because this was the first time he has heard him call him by his last name in a long time, along with the second statement.
"What promise?" Izuku questioned.
"A promise I made to myself when we were kids. That I would protect you." Bakugo said.
"Protect me? Protect me from what?!" Izuku said as his anger was beginning to sound evident in his tone.
"From yourself." Bakugo said as Izuku looked at him as he just heard the dumbest reply from the explosive blonde.
"I had enough of this." Izuku said as he threw his Flame covered fist right at Bakugo's head but was surprised when Bakugo caught his fist with one hand.
"What?!" Izuku said in confusion as he felt Bakugo's grip on his hand tighten and was getting progressively stronger. Not only that but he also began to notice of the same green glow from a few days beginning to engulf his whole body from head to toe as the explosive blonde would then feel that his knees weren't snapped in two and stand up to face the greenette.
"I failed in protecting you and forgetting my promise but if you think I will let some stupid dagger take control of you, Midoriya, then I'll kick your ass into oblivion!" Bakugo yelled as he threw a right hook onto the chest of Izuku as his right hand became a vibrant green glow before bursting, shattering the explosive blondes gauntlet as it made contact with the chest of the greenette.
"GYAAAAHH!" Izuku yelled as he was flunged back a few meters until he was at the edge of the staircase. Bakugo and the remaining members of 1-A look in shock at the burst of power until the explosive blonde felt a wave of pain hit his arm as while his arm wasn't broken, he still felt the recoil from the attack. Bakugo look down at his right arm and saw the green glow intensify as he felt his arm feel better but he would be lying if he said he was feeling quite exhausted at the moment. He would see Izuku slowly getting back to his feet, though with some struggle as he had an arm clutching his chest and coughing as he saw orange and blue light going over his chest.
'Seems like the green shit finally appeared again. *Argh* Damn, it feels like my body may burst at any moment.' Bakugo thought to himself as he looked at the recovering greenette and saw that the glowing scar was fading in and out which if as he remembered from earlier, once it went off, Izuku should be free.
'I have to end it with this next hit!' Bakugo thought.
"So you finally learned how to bring out that power huh, Bakugo." Izuku said as the explosive blonde saw the flames envelop the greenette's body with his right arm specifically becoming quite vibrant and wild.
"Unfortunately for you, I'm ending this, right now." Izuku said.
"You're right about that at least. This is my last attack." Bakugo said as his left arm was glowing brightly compared to the rest of his body as the young adults stood opposite of one another.
Down at the Central Plaza, All Might looked in worry at the confrontation between his two students. He has already seen what the two are capable to each other and now that he saw Young Bakugo with a green power that was able to push Young Midoriya back, his fear of what will happen grew.
"It looks like those two are finally finishin' things." Kuroi said.
"Yes, now with the kids handles, all that is left is All Might. Nomu, kill him so that we can finally go home." Shigaraki said as All Might tighten his fists.
'I barely have a minute left in this form. My power is declining faster than I thought.' All Might thought as his sight fell back on his two students.
'But even so, I have to stop these Villains and save my students. Because I am...' He said as he pulled on the last of his remaining strength for the day and with new found determination, he had his objective in mind.
"THE SYMBOL OF PEACE!" All Might said as he rushed towards the Nomu as the two would class fists together with the force of their strike pushing the trio of Villains back, hitting the dome.
"Didn't you hear? His quirk is Shock Absorption." Shigaraki said as he pushed himself off the dome wall.
"Yeah, what about it?" All Might said as he and the Nomu were throwing punches at one another.
"Ah bloody hell, where did that power come from!?" Kuroi exclaimed. He along with Kurogiri and Shigaraki were being pushed against the wall of the dome as the wind pressure from All Might and the Nomu. All Might appeared to be overwhelming the muscle bound creature as with a strong punch he sent it against one side of the dome during which Kuroi began to hear the sounds of cracking and looked to where All Might and the Nomu were and saw that the blue-shield dome was beginning to crack under the pressure of the two. At the same time, Izuku and Bakugo looked at each other, both were at their own limits and they knew that the next hit would finish everything, regardless of who comes out on top.
"I will drag you down to Hell!" Izuku said through a pained expression as his right arm got engulfed in flames.
"Not before I save you first!" Bakugo yelled as the green glow enveloped his whole body with it having specific point of focus in his uninjured left arm as it was glowing brightly.
"AHHH!"
"AHHH!"
Both Bakugo and Izuku yelled as the greenette rushed towards the explosive blonde who used his explosions to propel himself forward at high speed. All Might managed to overwhelm the Nomu and saw the dome around them had various cracks. He saw a specific point at the top of with a particular weakpoint, so he aimed at it as the Nomu was stunned from his onslaught of attack.
"Now for a lesson. You may have heard these words before but I'll teach you what they really mean. Go Beyond. PLUS. ULTRA!" All Might yelled as his fist made contact with the Nomu and at the same time, both Izuku and Bakugo were just a few feet away from one another as the two reeled their fists back and then both threw their fists at one another.
*Blast* *Shatter*
Two different gusts of wind erupted as in the Central Plaza the Nomu shot out of the blue-shield dome and was launched right through the ceiling of the U.S.J as the trio of Villains were pushed back by the winds. At the top of the staircase, dust covered the area as Uraraka, Koda, and Hagakure were shielding themselves from the blast of wind cause by their two classmates. As the debri began to settle and clear up their vision, the trio began to see the silhouette of the two young men standing infront of one another with their arms extended to one another's body.
"Deku?" Uraraka asked as she tried approaching the scene and little by little the scene became clearer to her as she saw the two standing still without making any motion.
"Deku?" Uraraka asked once more and like before she got no response.
"*Spat*!" She saw Deku spat out blood as his fist was right next to the head of Bakugo, just scrapping his cheek while the explosive blonde had his left fist placed over the chest of the greenette. Izuku's arm slumped to his side as he continued to spit out more blood for a few moments before finally stopping. The crimson substance coated the arm of Bakugo who was panting hard as he saw the cut on Izuku's eye not having any light along with the greenette's pupils and irises finally returning though he noticed how they appeared dull now than what they were before.
"Now... *Pant* did that fix your shit?" Bakugo asked but didn't get a response as Izuku remained motionless.
"Deku?" Bakugo said as the greenette slumped forward onto the explosive blonde.
"DEKU!" Uraraka yelled as she went up to the two as she knelt next to Bakugo.
"DEKU! STOP FUCKING AROUND AND GET THE FUCK UP!?" Bakugo yelled as he shook the slightly greenette but just slumped with every shake. Bakugo laid Izuku on the ground as Uraraka placed her head on the greenettes chest as her eyes expanded in realization.
"His heart isn't beating!" She said as the explosive blonde saw visibly freeze for a moment as he tried figuring something out.
"Roundface! Try to revive the nerd!" Bakugo said before moving towards the other forms of their classmates.
"What are you do-"
"JUST DO AS I SAID, ROUNDFACE!" Bakugo yelled as Uraraka flinched before she looked at her green haired friend and began to do CPR and tried to restart his heart as she was trying to maintain her calm and from not breaking at the thought of her first friend and crush dying.
'Deku... please stay with me!'
Bakugo was running towards Hagakure who looked in shook as well at what she heard from Uraraka.
"INVISABITCH DO WE STILL HAVE SOME OF THAT BLUE CRAP!?"
"No, we used it all on..." Hagakure couldn't finish as she motioned with her head to the body of the Pinkette.
"Fuck... dammit!" Bakugo thought before looking for Kaminari. He found the electric blonde still in his dunce form laying in his back with both thumbs out.
"SPARK PLUG, GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!" Bakugo yelled as he began to drag Kaminari. Uraraka has been continuously pumping the chest of the greenette and giving him mouth to mouth but no matter what she did there was no response.
"COME ON DO YOUR ELECTRICITY!" Bakugo yelled as he threw the dunce Kaminari on top of Midoriya.
"Yay." However nothing happened as the still dunced Kaminari wasn't available. Bakugo grew more frustrated as he let out a growl before grabbing Kaminari by the collar of his costume and throwing his to the side and began to slam both fists onto the chest of the greenette.
"DEKU! FUCKING WAKE UP! DON'T DIE ON US YET!" Bakugo yelled as he gave one final slam onto the torso of the greenette but still no response as he placed his head on his chest to see for a beat, of some indication that he was still alive but he got nothing. He was prepared to repeat the process once more, not willing to believe that the green haired nerd was actually gone and done by his own hand. However, just as he slammed his fists down, the ground in front of him and the brunette cracked open, revealing an orange glow with Fire erupting from it and out of it began to crawl the Hellspawn.
"The fuck are you doing here?!" Bakugo yelled as it didn't say anything as with one arm it grabbed onto the body of its master as it began dragging it down to Hell.
"NO!"
"OH, NO YOU FUCKING DONT!"
Both Bakugo and Uraraka yelled as they both grabbed onto the body of the greenette and tried prying it from the hands of the Hellspawn, not willing to let go of their green haired classmate.
"FUCKING TAKE THIS!" Bakugo yelled as he ignited an explosion into the Hellspawn but as the smoke cleared, it didn't show any effects on it as it continued to pull on Izuku. The two young adults tried in vain to keep their hold on the greenette with Bakugo gritting his teeth and pulling with all his might and Uraraka letting her tears fall as she desperately tried to not let go. However, the strength of the Hellspawn won out as it pushed both young adults away from the greenette and it successfully pulled his master down with it.
"NO!" Bakugo yelled as he rushed towards the Hellspawn but the crack from where it once came out from closed, leaving no sign of it ever been open. Bakugo remained still as the groans of pains and the whimpering from Uraraka were the sounds that filled his head. He didn't feel anything at the moment, he felt empty that even in the end, he still couldn't keep his promise.
"GYAHHHHHHHHH!" Bakugo yelled from the top of his lungs as he slammed both fists into the ground in frustration as he began to feel his eyes stinging at his failure. Down at Central Plaza, Shigaraki was absolutely livid at seeing All Might quite literally blow his Nomu away.
"NO! IMPOSSIBLE! NOMU IS UNBEATABLE!" Shigaraki whined.
'I used up all of my time, any move now and I will lose this form.' All Might thought to himself as he looked towards the trio of Villains, the mist one trying to get back to his feet and heavily injured, the one with hands having a tantrum, and the last one with his right eye covered was looking unamused.
"It's over Villains. Surrender now." All Might said as steam was coming out of his body.
"Tomura, it's over, we need to leave so that the league may conti-"
"Now who said that we lost, mate." The two Villains and All Might heard the Black Dragon member said as he pressed a button in the remote that he had as blue light began to form infront of the group. Confusion filled them all until they began to see that it was the Nomu back to standing and now appearing still without any injury.
"What?!" All Might said as he looked at the Nomu.
"How many cheats do you have with you?!" Shigaraki asked in disbelief that his Nomu was back here again.
A chuckle came from Kuroi as he waved the controller in hand.
"Like I said, they were gifts from S.F. Your Nomu is back and right now the 'Symbol of Piss' doesn't seem to have any gas left in the tank, so, to put it in your words, Shigaraki. You got an extra life." Kuroi said.
All Might gritted his teeth, not having the power left to fight against the Nomu once more. Shigaraki appeared to be estatic that the cannon fodder did something useful as he looked to All Might.
"Today is your end All Might. Nomu, Kill him." Shigaraki said as the Nomu rushed towards the 'Symbol of Peace', standing infront of him and prepared to strike and All Might having no option but to take it. However, just as the Nomu was about to throw its attack, the ground between them cracked open with Flames erupting and out of it would jump a familiar curly haired Izuku land in his feet as All Might saw the greenettes right arm glow a white-blue color with white mist eminatting from him as with an open hand, he thrusted into the chest of the muscle bound creature.
*Squish*
The sound of flesh being penetrated echoed as the three Villains and All Might looked in shock as they saw the green haired young man having thrusted his hand inside of the Nomu, who was jittering in place at the possible pain it was feeling. Then in an act that shock them even further and made them flinch was when Izuku thrusted his arm further into the chest of the Nomu along with his other arm inside of the muscle bound creature. The Nomu appeared aware of the greenette's action as it reached with a shaking hand and grab onto the Izuku's head, but it ultimately didn't matter as a loud snap was heard from the Nomu as it caused the creatures arm to let go of the greenette and slump to its side.
That didn't stop the greenette as with his right arm, he began to pull on something from within the Nomu and appeared to be struggling somewhat before pulling out and the Villains and All Might saw what he was holding onto, the Nomu's spine. Midoriya did not relent in his assault as he slowly but surely pulled out the spine of the Nomu column by column, the Nomu screeching in pain but were ignored by the greenette who continued to pull. All Might could see chunks of meat and nerves still being connected to the spine as the greenette continued pulling up to the neck of the creature where there appeared to be some struggle.
However, that didn't deter Izuku who just gave a strong pull and like that, the spine of the Nomu and its head were pulled completely from its body as blood sprayed out of the stump that was its neck. The sight would of sicken anyone but Izuku wasn't finished. With one arm still remaining inside of the Nomu's body, the Villains and All Might saw as the body of the Nomu was quickly enveloped in Ice to the point where its body resembled that of an Ice sculpture at which Izuku pulled his arm out of the body of the Nomu.
"Young Midoriya?" All Might asked but he didn't receive an answer as Izuku reeled back his hand with the spine of the Nomu and thwacked the frozen body that it once belong to, sending broken shards of Ice everywhere, leaving no trace other than the head that was still held by Izuku.
The Villains looked in horror and shock to see that Nomu, who the 'Symbol of Peace' who appeared to struggle fighting against, was taken down in less than a few seconds by the same brat that has been a thorn to their side and not just defeat it, he utterly brutalized the creature with its spine and head being in his grasps.
Izuku redirected his attention back towards the three Villains as he raised the head of the Nomu, in the same way someone raises their prize from a hunt. "The Nomu, there wasn't a simple way to defeat it, what with it absorbing our attacks and regenerating from them. The key to defeating it, is to obliterate so completely that its regeneration won't be possible." he said as he froze the spine and head of the Nomu before shattering it completely in his grasps, stopping any possibility of the muscle bound creature from coming back.
"NO! NO! NO! NO! HACKS! THAT DOES NOT COUNT! YOU CHEATED! AN NPC SHOULD NOT DESTROY NOMU!" Shigaraki whined as Midoriya continued to glare at the three Villains.
"Shigaraki, this is your final warning. Surrender without resistance or you'll suffer a similar fate to your Nomu." Izuku said as he glared the trio of Villains as the hand Villain noticed the giant red slash over his right eye that only seemed to emphasize that he has run out of patience.
"We better hall ass now." Kuroi said as the hand Villain looked at him.
"Don't you have something that can give us a cheat!?"
"Sorry mate, it's better to leave now otherwise your boss will be pissed that you got captured or killed." Kuroi reasoned.
This only seemed to aggravate Shigaraki as he looked towards the green haired young man. "I AM NOT LEAVING WITHOUT KILLING THIS BRAT!" Shigaraki said as he rushed towards Izuku who released a heavy sigh as he reeled his arm back, keeping his promise as Shigaraki extended his arm towards the greenette.
"Young Midoriya!"
*Bang*
A shot was heard as the greenette was snapped out of his thinking as he saw Shigaraki's hand bleeding with a hole right through it.
*Bang*Bang*Bang*
Three more shots were heard as Izuku saw Shigaraki shot in his other hand and on his knees as the hand Villain fell to the ground bleeding.
"Great shot, Mr. Snipe." Izuku heard from the top the staircase and saw Iida along with All of the Heroes from U.A.
"Uhh Nezu, that was not me." Snipe announced confusing the Heroes until they heard the Villain with a covered eye shout.
"BLACK, YOU RAT BASTARD! I KNOW YOU AND THOSE TRAITORS ARE STILL HERE! SHOW YOURSELF AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!" Kuroi yelled as another shot was heard once more but this time the Heroes and VIllains were able to see the shooter as they saw a man dressed as a cowboy shooting from the edge of the Mountain Zone.
"YA KNOW, I FIND IT HILARIOUS THAT A COWARDLY TURD LIKE YOU WOULD TALK ABOUT BEIN' A MAN!" The heard Black yell before shooting once more which would have struck the Black Dragon member if Kurogiri didn't manifest around the Villains.
"BLACK, WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW!" Kitana made her presence known as the Heroes took note of the two.
"Everyone, ensure that all Villains are apprehended." Nezu announced as several of the Heroes went towards the trespassers as Kurogiri, Shigaraki, and Kuroi managed to escape as Black holstered his revolver before looking back at Kitana.
"*Tsk* Alright, let's go." Black said as he looked towards the greenette who was staring right back as a smirk fell on his mask covered mouth.
"Till next time, hombre." Black said as he tilted his hat. Both he and Kitana both disappeared in blue winds, escaping apprehension from the Heroes. Izuku took in a breath before releasing it as he felt exhausted from the day until he heard the voice of All Might from behind him.
"Young Midoriya? Are you ok?" All Might asked, confusing the greenette.
"Yeah... I'm am. Why? Did something happened?" Midoriya questioned as he looked down at himself and noticed the various amount of blood he was covered in.
"All Might?! What happened?!" Izuku got nervous as he waited for an answer as Principal Nezu make their way towards him.
"Nezu, how are the students?" Izuku heard All Might as he felt his nerves shot up at his friends having been injured by the Villains.
"A majority of the students will need to be taken to the hospital for injuries and check up. There is one body burnt to a crisp that Miss Hagakure claims to be Miss Ashido." Nezu said.
Izuku took a hesitant step towards his principal. "Principal Nezu, what happened to my classmates?" he asked as Midnight made her way towards the three.
"Nezu, we-Oh Midoriya..." Midnight halted herself as the greenette looked confused and concern.
"Yes Miss Midnight, were you able to figure out who injured the students?" Nezu asked with the smile in his face as Midnight looked hesitant as she inhaled a breath as she put her hands on her hips before continuing.
"Yes, from what we gather from several of the students, it seems that Midoriya attacked the students after attempting to kill Bakugo." Midnight said as the three saw Midoriya go rigid as they saw him slowly breathing heavily which drew concern from the teachers.
"Young Midoriya, remain calm." All Might said.
Izuku fell to his knees as he grabbed his head at realization of his actions, what he has done to his friends as the memory of him killing the Nomu remained fresh in his mind as it made him fear what he done to them.
"By the Elder Gods... what have I done?!" Izuku wailed as he clutched his head.
"MIDORIYA, BREATHE!" He heard Midnight call him as she knelt down to his side but it didn't seem to be working as the three saw the greenette clutching his head in frustration and shaking uncontrollably. Midnight made a small tear in her sleeve as a purple gas was emitted. After a few moments of breathing it in, Izuku began to toppling before almost slumping forward into the ground. He was caught by Midnight as the three teachers looked at the green haired young man with worry about his mental health.
Undisclosed Location
In a dimly lit bar, a purple portal would open up and out of it would come the forms of Shigaraki and Kuroi before closing up with Kurogiri falling to the ground.
"GRHAAAAAAAAAA!" Shigaraki yelled one frustration as he grabbed the nearest stool and disintegrate it.
"Quit yer cryin. We're back in base and away from the cops. I say it went better than expected." Kuroi said as he helped Kurogiri up into his one good leg as Shigaraki looked at him with a glare.
"'Better than expected?!' We lost! All of our cannon fodder is gone, Nomu failed in killing All Might, some of your group ended up back stabbing us and to top it all of a snot nosed brat killed Nomu with two hits!" Shigaraki yelled as the T.V in the back of the bar began to flash in static.
"Tomura, not everything is lost in defeat." Shigaraki heard his Sensei say.
"Sensei what do you mean!? Nomu failed!"
"Yes, however, this invasion will show the world that their precious school isn't impervious, that even the greatest are susceptible of being broken. The invasion may not have ended up how it should, but with this the League should be able to gain recognition." Shigaraki's Master said as it got Tomura thinking at his masters words.
"Yes master."
"Kurogiri, take Shigaraki to patch up his injuries along with yours. Kuroi, I would like to talk with you." The trio of Villains heard the voice in the T.V say as Kurogiri took Shigaraki and Kuroi was the only member remaining.
"What is it, boss?"
"The blade that you were given, the Kamidogu, I imagine that it worked as expected." The voice said.
"Aye, did quite a number on those brats of 1-A. Unfortunately, the fucker took it from me but I figured it won't be much of an issue for you." Kuroi asked.
"Correct. However I overheard that several of your Black Dragons betrayed you." The master said as a growl of anger came from Kuroi as he leaned against the bar.
"You're damn right. Should've known those bastard were up to something when they appeared out of nowhere." Kuroi said in frustration as his number of Black Dragon members were severely cut down due to the traitors.
"Yes, how unfortunate, however it is better that we do not let those loose ends tangle up our future plans. You may go after them, deal with them however you please and I'll put in a good word to the Sorcerer and Necromancer. In the mean time, your pay will be sent to you within the hour and we'll contact you when your assistance is needed." The voice said as Kuroi pushed himself off from the bar as a smirk made its way to his face.
"You got it, boss." Kuroi said as he began to make his way out of the bar.
"Please, call me All for One."
There you have it, again I apologize for the month long absence as this chapter was literally the most difficult not only for it's size and trying to make everything fit but because of how many time I've rewrote it but I hope it was worth the wait and next update hopefully won't be as long so until next time, take care and this has been FightingGamePlayer11 signing out.
