Chapter 18:
Aight, first thing. This was supposed to be part of the previous chapter but I thought it would have been too long. I was wrong. So yeah, here's the DLC and some bonus info:
Name: Izuku Midoriya
Villain Codename: Civil War
Alias: Akusero Bara
Known weapons: Live and Let Die
Facts: As everybody knows, his villain code name, Civil War, is a Guns n' Roses reference. His revolver, Live and Let Die, is also a reference to the Guns n' Roses version of the song. The Paul McCartney version belongs to the original Civil War, who was mentioned and is Izuku's predecessor.
Another thing regarding his alias, Akusero Bara. Funny story, the Bara part was a joke from Tomura, who deliberately chose that family name for Izuku to use in his UA infiltration.
For those that don't know, BARA is a genre where it's YAOI but MANLIER. The reason nobody in UA asked about it is because they are too afraid to ask about it to someone with a gun. It also happens to mean ROSE
The Akusero part is based on Axl, who was the singer of Guns n' Roses. Add it up and you get Akusero Bara. If Tomura wasn't actually messing with Izuku, he would have been called "AKUSERO ROZU" or "AKUSERO RO"
So yeah, the AKUSERO BARA alias Tomura gave Izuku doubles as a prank.
"Akusero, you can't just cook with a gun," Shinso argued with his best friend, having already gone through a migraine of a training day. He's not dealing with his friend's crap right now.
*Watch me.* Izuku replied as he poured a little bit of gasoline on the firewood. He shot at it with his revolver, startling everyone but also starting a fire. *See?*
"AKUSERO! I POLITELY IMPLORE YOU TO STOP USING YOUR GUN IN LIGHTING THE FIREWOOD!" Iida chided, holding his ears from the sudden gunshot. Izuku rolled his eyes but went along with it. The fire is already lit anyway.
*For the record, it worked, but okay.* He stepped back for the rest of the night, letting everyone do their thing. Tomorrow is gonna be the third day, and on that night, the villains attack. For now, he'll enjoy dinner with everyone for the last time. He breathed deeply before facing Mina, who sat beside him on the table.
Everyone was telling stories to each other. Izuku wanted to tell a story but it's mostly robbery and ransoms from him and he'd also have to fabricate new stories that would fit Akusero's character. Not that he would put any unnecessary effort in doing so.
"And so, that's when I placed hardcore laxatives in his drink. That was the last time he messed with my cat." Shinso finished up his story, gaining laughs from their classmates. "Anyway, that's how I lost my credibility in school, after all, the guy was a teacher." Everybody's laughter transformed into an uncomfortable chuckle in a shocking twist.
"What do you think Aizawa-sensei will put us through tomorrow, Akusero." Mina nudged her distracted boyfriend. The boy had a thousand-yard stare on his face, seemingly deep in thought. Mina didn't pay it any attention since silence comes with thoughtfulness. That's one of the things she liked about him.
*I don't know. I am sure I'm going jogging again with a couple more workout regimens. You can't really do much if you don't have a quirk.*
"Don't beat yourself up over that! Your moral support really helps me back there. Plus, you're good with a gun AND hand-to-hand."
"THAT BASTARD FIGHTS DIRTY!" Tetsutetsu interrupted their conversation and shamelessly inserted himself between them. "This guy shot me in the dick."
*You still have one, don't you? I mean, I was sure it was too small to hit.*
"Ooooh shit." Mineta and Kaminari said at the same time, not expecting Akusero to write that down. The iron-skinned student growled at the gunman with pure anger.
"If you can't even fight fair, why bother being a hero?!"
Izuku rolled his eyes, realizing how Tetsutetsu naive was about the world. If he was immature, he would have chosen to cripple this guy tomorrow night, except, he isn't that petty. He faced Mina and wrote down his piece. *See? This is the problem with a lot of hero students these days. Most of you guys are a massive exception.*
"Problem? Oh, so you think-"
"I apologize for interrupting, but I can not allow you to talk that way about Akusero." Iida interrupted Tetsutetsu. The Class Vice President had a different glare this time. "Even if his methods are questionable, his actions saved my life. He and Bakugou led us through the beast forest with their combined tactics. As a hero, he does not care what the public thinks of him, as long as they are safe."
"Oh boy, Iida. I'm sorry, but you'll be eating those words tomorrow. I'm very sorry." Izuku thought to himself, feeling guilty about betraying everyone tomorrow. Everybody rushed in to defend him from Tetsutetsu or whatever, but he's more worried about somebody else.
Tomorrow Night...
"You guys are late," Dabi complained just as Spinner and Compress exited the warp gate. Spinner had a knife duct-taped to his badly modified assault rifle. "Jegus, that thing is bound to blow up on his face."
"Terribly sorry, sir! A Magician is always fashionably late!"
"Yeah yeah, who cares?" A masked Muscular exclaimed, not caring about what's happening.
"Whatever. Everybody remembers their roles?"
"Yes!"
"Yes, good sir!"
"Hell yeah!" Spinner even copied one of Paul's shouts.
"Yes! NO!"
"Sure thing, sugar."
"FLESH!"
"Let's just get on with it!"
Dabi nodded and pressed on his earpiece. "Paul, everybody is ready. What's the situation in the camp?"
"Everything is going as scheduled. The test of courage is currently undergoing and Mustard is releasing his gas. The Tool Arm Nomu is also on the run. Now's a good time to split!"
"Thanks," He switched off his earpiece and faced the Vanguard Squad. "You all heard Paul. Get in, get Todoroki, and get out. Spread as much terror as you can while we do it. Let the entirety Japan know that nobody is safe."
No Need for a Civil War
"What's taking them so long?" Izuku was starting to get anxious about the League's arrival. He was waiting for his turn to walk into the forest. He was lucky enough to be paired with nobody, making his disappearance possibly smoother. Up until Magne pulled Pixiebob in for a surprise attack, knocking her unconscious.
"Heroes, we're here to attack you."
"That is the lamest thing Spinner could have said." It looked like the League is finally attacking. It's time for him to slip away.
"Kota!" He heard Mandalay yell, reminding him of her nephew's existence. He's not too concerned about him so it shouldn't be his problem.
"I'LL GET HIM!" Mina responded to Mandalay's worries and began running to the direction of Kota's secret hideout. Izuku stopped himself from slipping away, now knowing Mina is possibly running into danger. He followed her but not too close that she would notice him.
Killer Swept Aside
"God-fucking-dammit, are you kidding me?" Katsuki dodged another set of teeth attacking him, courtesy of Moonfish. "Why are the villains attacking now? Can't I have some goddamn peace?!"
"Less swearing, more dodging." Shiozaki chided while also dodging the teeth. He ran into her in a pathetic attempt to scare him. He was too unfazed to notice her until Moonfish decided to attack them. "How troublesome."
"You don't need to tell me, Shiozaki. I just need an opening."
"Fine, let's do this, shall we?" Her vine hairs began growing and combating the teeth. Like a hydra, every time a strand is cut off, two more will take its place. Katsuki destroyed any teeth that would get too close with his explosions.
"I-I'LL EAT YOU! EAT YOU! FLESH! FLESH! FLESH! FLESH!"
"Shut your mouth, and receive retribution for the monstrosities you committed, heathen!" Shiozaki shouted back as she managed to bind Moonfish's body by slowly overwhelming him with her vines. "BAKUGOU!"
"HOWITZER…" He was already in the air the moment Shiozaki had Moonfish in place. "IIIIIIMMMMPAAAACCCCTTT!"
The blast burnt off the vines and sent Moonfish hurling into the trees. After landing, Bakugou eyed the cannibal, who was hanging from a branch, heavily burnt and unconscious.
"We need to help the others." He faced Shiozaki. He knew they don't have permission to do this, but if someone as dangerous as Moonfish is here, then he knew the League isn't fucking around this time.
"Agreed."
Bloody Hands
"No, no, no, no," Uraraka was panicking. The camp is being attacked, if the toxic gas was not enough proof. Good thing her friend, Tsuyu was with her.
"Stay calm, Ochaco." The frog told her. It wasn't helping.
"I know, I know. I'm just a little freaked out."
They heard a rustle in the bushes and they were instantly set on high alert. "WHO'S THERE?!"
Coming out of hiding, it was a blonde girl with a creepy smile. She had a knife on her hand and what looked like a needle on the other. Everything she wore screamed villain.
"Hello! I'm Himiko Toga! Let's make love!"
Human Grocery Store
"My brainwashing isn't working on that piece of shit!" Shinso ran alongside Awase, who was carrying Momo. The three were unfortunate enough to encounter a Nomu who had chainsaws for arms. It's a good thing the monster is not too fast but they noticed the thing slowly catching up.
"YEAH SURE LET'S JUST KEEP RUNNING! HANG IN THERE, YAOYOROZU!"
"You don't need to tell me to run. I just hope Akusero, Mina, and Tooru is okay!" The two continued running away from the nomu deeper into the woods while avoiding the toxic gas.
"WE JUST HAD TO DO THIS!"
"Awase, calm the fuck down."
"OH NO, OF AAAALLLLL NIGHTS! IT HAD TO HAPPEN NOW?! FUCK! THIS!"
"Just keep fucking running! That thing can't keep running forever." Shinso encouraged Awase as the duo run deeper into woods while carrying Momo and while being chased by a monstrous beast.
Brainwashed Pride ft. Tetsutetsu's Pride
"He's out." Tetsutetsu begrudgingly said as he stood over Mustard's unconscious body. He had to resort to cheap tactics to take out the toxic gas villain. Kendo got beside him and patted his shoulder.
"Hey, at least we stopped this guy, didn't we?"
"This…" He looked at the hand that punched Mustard's balls. "It just feels wrong."
"But you saved everyone from the toxic gas. Your pride or our friends' lives?"
"Grr…damn you, Akusero."
Tied Hands
"I'm gonna ask you one more time, what are you after here?" Eraserhead broke Dabi's left arm but the villain didn't even flinch. The villains invaded the camp without warning and it was only thanks to Mandalay's warnings that he found out about it.
"Wouldn't you like to know, Eraser-boy?" Dabi quipped before melting into a puddle.
"Aizawa-sensei!" Eraserhead looked up and sighed in relief seeing some of his students safe. "Villains are attacking the-"
"I know. Get inside and don't fight unless you have to." He pointed at the camp lodge while running. He was interrupted by his phone ringing. It was Recovery Girl.
"Good timing. Recovery Girl, I need you to-"
"The DNA Tests just came in, Aizawa." He stopped in his tracks. "It's from the blood you collected from Akusero after his final exams."
"What's the result?"
"You need to act quickly, your suspicions about Akusero is correct!"
"WAY AHEAD OF YOU! Send in backup, NOW! Villains are attacking the camp!" He didn't give the old woman time to respond as he closed the call. His biggest fear has finally come true in the worst timing possible. He needs to find and capture Civil War quickly.
Lies We've Swallowed
"Y-You're the one who…!" Kota slowly backed away from Muscular. The mass murderer felt glee when he saw the kid fear him. This made him feel so powerful.
"Oh, so you're their kid? Eh, don't worry, this isn't personal. It just so happens that you're a good kill!" Muscular rushed him, intending to squash the kid but Mina made it just in time to pull him out of the way. She started running away while carrying the crying Kota with her. "Oh, you're not getting away, bitch!"
Mina looked back to see big rocks thrown at her. "ACID VEIL!" She yelled as she created a wall of acid that protected them from the projectiles. It turned out Muscular only used those rocks as a distraction because he was instantly in front of her, ready to kill. He, again, failed when Izuku pulled her and Kota out of the way.
"Akusero."
"...Run, Mina." He spoke for the first time since a few weeks ago. Mina noticed that it sounded too restrained and quiet. As if something is keeping his mouth from fully opening.
"I'm not leaving you." She told him.
"Tch."
"Oi, shouldn't you be trying to lure out the target?" Muscular questioned her boyfriend, garnering a confused look from her and Kota.
"Akusero, what is he saying?"
"Oh, you didn't know? Of course, you wouldn't. This guy here is actually-"
*BANG*
"GAH!" The bullet scratched Muscular's cheek as he glared at Akusero. Mina backed away slightly, feeling killing intent from her boyfriend.
"Mina, please, run."
"No, tell me what he's saying, Akusero!" She's too stubborn to just leave. Muscular knew something about Akusero. Something doesn't add up.
"YOU BASTARD!" The villain screamed while throwing a punch at Akusero. Her boyfriend stepped aside, leaving what seems to be a clone of himself in his original position, confusing Muscular. His appearance changed. His black hair and eyes are now green. Mina's eyes widened in realization, instantly recognizing who it is.
"No…" She whispered, grief welling up her body. "It can't… he's not…"
*BANG*
The second bullet went through Muscular's head, making the murderer drop dead. In front of her was someone she loved. Someone she thought she knew. Tears coming out of his eyes and flowing down his cheeks. He removed the mask covering half of his face, revealing the stitched mouth. When he looked at her, there was nothing but sadness and regret.
"Mina. I told you to run."
{- Oh shit, To Be Continued...
